Chapter 201: "Muddy Waters" System? Time is running out, coach!
Chapter 201: "Muddy Waters" System? Time is running out, coach!
"Crushing with overwhelming force!" I remember the voice echoing in the main stadium.
"In the first game, V5 showed unparalleled suppression power, almost crushing us the entire time. It was really different from what we expected before the game!"
Guan Zeyuan echoed, "The main reason was that the midfielder in the focus battle of this round was almost destroyed, Little Spider was repeatedly set upon, and Little Tiger was suppressed from beginning to end. Master Ye's moves were completely unexpected!"
"I have to say, the Sylas in his hand is really different from the others. We have been saying that there is no big move to steal from Sylas in this game, but for Master Ye, it seems that there is no useless big move."
I remember nodding my head in agreement: "That's right! I really couldn't have imagined that the space spider would do that! It feels like this is an operation that only this ID can perform!"
"There is really no limit to imagination and no upper limit to operation!"
The cat emperor shrugged and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Maybe this is talent."
But the tone seemed a little sour.
As a professional scrap, Maohuang’s ID was almost not remembered when he was in the old TES.
Moreover, he entered the LPL arena in 18, and retired at the speed of light after being squeezed out by Ben in 19. As a player, his career is almost nothing worth praising.
In comparison, Ye Bo's career is like a soaring dragon!
It's hard not to be sour.
The V5 fans at the scene waved the flagpole vigorously so that it fluttered in the air, and their shouts and cheers were particularly loud.
Instead, it illuminated the silent Topsports fans in the next seats, creating a full sense of contrast at the scene.
Compared to WBG.
Obviously, team fans have higher expectations for TES.
It is also a reorganized team. The three key members of WBG's mid, jungle and bottom lane were all replaced. Even though the IDs were very promising, the core playing style has been completely changed compared to last year and has not been verified. Everyone knows what is going on in the Weibo Cup.
Although Top Esports also replaced its top and mid players.
But at least in the first round of the game, the performance was completely that of the "Top Esports" team.
You know, Top Esports was the runner-up in the league last year!
The summer finals against EDG was a head-to-head battle!
Many people have high expectations for this year's V5 lineup, but judging from the strength on paper, it should not be stronger than last year's EDG.
How come he was beaten so badly?
Some Topsports fans in the audience had already broken down and started arresting the traitor on the spot, using the information elimination method.
The two replaced players in the top and middle positions naturally became the targets of attack.
"What's the point of giving Qixi the first move to grab the hero? Did he do anything? I'm really impressed!"
"Suffocating and still saying that he is the Chinese Niu Guli, I want to laugh. Even if it is true that there are two people, the order should be reversed."
"Korean breathing? Who are you insulting! Minotaur is my second favorite top laner!"
"No, I mean, the best he can do is become a cow."
"It's true that I have no human rights because I have few fans. Aren't I fully responsible for the account cancellation? I'm just trying to trick Ah Shui!"
"None of Top Esports' mid laners in recent years are good! They just want to cheat me, A-Shui!"
The biggest difference between watching a game live and discussing on an online forum is that you can actually see the fans’ real reactions.
The same sentence, when typed out with a few emojis, sounds sarcastic.
But judging from the excited reactions in reality, it is completely true!
The contestants stood up and walked down from the battle seats.
Beryl walked with a ruthless gait, his round belly, which could not be covered by his team uniform, showing through, and his arms and body seemed to be walking independently.
"Ouch, Master, you killed too quickly this time. I don't think I could even test out the effect."
Ye Bo corrected the other person's pronunciation and replied with a smile: "I feel pretty good, I can try again later~"
He knew what the other party wanted to say.
The important meaning of Rat Support is not the hero itself, but a way of playing, or a system.
Beryl calls it the "muddy water" system.
It can be said that this is an "advanced version" of the line power logic he developed in S12.
It's not difficult to understand.
That is, through the "unconventional" selection of the bottom lane, using {hero counter} rather than {hard laning ability} to gain the initiative in the laning phase in the bottom lane.
After that, he advanced to forcibly releasing the auxiliary in advance, and by continuously launching attacks on the enemy's side jungle with a difference in numbers, he forced the opponent's auxiliary to run along.
Turn the game into a "double jungle" situation in a sense!
In fact, TES handled this game very poorly, which was also an important reason why they collapsed so quickly.
According to Beryl's idea.
The correct response that a normal person would make would be for the opponent's support to run around together, turning the three-lane laning on the map into a 111 situation.
This will add an unexpected and uncertain factor to the map, which will directly restrict the opponents' movements, especially in the long lanes and upper and lower side lanes that are more susceptible to ganks.
But in this game, TES may think that Ashe's roaming cannot compare with Twitch.
Maybe Mark didn't understand this, or maybe he was worried that Draven, the absolute core, would die easily if he was alone.
Why was Ye Bo able to easily seize the initiative in the middle lane after reaching level 6?
In addition to the fact that Ye Bo's laning ability is better than Xiaohu's, Sylas and Jayce have the ability to transform and cooperate. In fact, after level 6, the laning situation of heroes is already 50-50.
What’s more important is that V5 actually has an extra “jungler” most of the time!
As a result, Jayce didn't dare to suppress Sylas at all!
On the contrary, Silas was very clear that there were almost always people lingering around him, so he fought fearlessly and proactively.
If you are not afraid of being ganked, you can focus on using your suppression skills.
What if Han Bing runs along?
Then both sides are bound to have frequent small-scale conflicts on the map - the game content will change from simple online competition to complex waves of small-scale battles full of variables!
This changes the battle point from where the V5 lineup is not so good at to where they are good at!
This system was originally designed for V5's lineup.
The situation of V5's lineup.
The top laner is Saint Spear, and the bottom lane is Deft+Beryl, neither of these two lanes are players who specialize in "laning".
Their strengths lie in their accumulated hero pool, their performance in teamfights, their critical on-the-spot handling brought by their rich experience, their stable game performance and low error rate, and their clear thinking and coordination in complex small-scale battles.
With this switch, the disadvantage can be turned into an advantage in PK.
The previous support of Jhin and the support of Twitch this time are all for this attempt.
Theoretically, this style of play may be very effective, especially when facing "muscle teams" that are strong in all three lanes.
It’s a pity that Top Esports is not such a muscular team.
They couldn't put enough pressure on the laning side, couldn't keep up with the roaming rhythm, and were hit by so many waves of designs.
In the end, the middle road was quickly broken through and the situation naturally deteriorated rapidly.
However, Topsports’ fans are still trying their best to save their reputation on various forums and further assign responsibility.
[I'm used to it. I can only say that real Topsports fans are not in a hurry and even feel that it's stable! ]
[Indeed, Topsports was like this last year. He gave up a game at the beginning, came back in the second game, and had no regrets in the third game! ]
[Can White Crescent do BP well? If not, can you just get out of here? I don’t understand what he is doing in B. Is Draven and Ashe a combination that anyone can choose? They don’t take our absolute core seriously at all! ]
[Isn’t that what White Bean Sprout is like? A purebred formula player. I know his next BP plan.]
Someone in the bottom lane posted a picture analyzing White Crescent's BP thinking, which can also be said to be White Crescent's "career summary".
To sum up, there are 3 points.
1. "When Top Esports had an advantage in the early game but was overturned in the late game" - The normal response would be to improve the lineup strength curve and improve mid-term decision-making.
Ya-style BP: This shows that the early game is not strong enough! If you can kill the opponent in the early game, there will be no mid- and late-game, right?
Come, let's have another ultimate tightrope walk! Once the 15 minutes are up, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by God!
2. "When a lineup is beaten and loses the game"——A normal person would just change the lineup to help the players clean up their hands.
Yashi BP: My lineup is designed perfectly. In the early stage, xx cooperates with xx to roam to gain an advantage, and then xx comes into the field and cooperates with xx's ultimate move to make a perfect combo. The opponent should have no ability to fight back!
Lost? That’s because the players were not in good shape and didn’t play well. If you don’t believe me, let’s watch the replay!
Let's do it again! Fight hard, all of you!
3. "The lineup is good, and I finally won a game!" — A normal person would definitely say that since the lineup is good, I will continue to take it if the opponent doesn't ban it.
Ya-style BP: Are you guys finally getting better? Then don’t play the last one, let’s try my latest top-level understanding!
Several of them have been destroyed naturally due to global BP.
However, new problems also arise.
Backstage.
All I see is the white crescent in the video, and I still don’t know what went wrong in the first scene.
He still thinks that he lost because the opponent played an unexpected hero to counter Draven, and the hero restraint in the middle lane did not work as expected.
In general, it’s all because the blue side has the advantage!
"Fortunately, there is this global BP. They won't be able to pick the rat next time, so it's not a big problem."
"Xiaohu, is there anything you want to play next time?"
Xiaohu is currently slumped in a gaming chair, with his clothes slightly lifted on his belly to dissipate heat. His increasingly bulging belly looks like a capital 0, exceptionally round.
Being asked suddenly, Xiaohu was a little stunned.
"Aye, that's fine."
Xiaotian was picking his fingers without saying anything.
Jack, on the other hand, seemed to be in a good mood and kept comforting everyone by calling them brothers.
"It's not a big deal. I just need to warm up my hands after not playing any games for so long!"
"The opponent is really not that strong! If we adjust well, we will definitely have a chance!"
White Crescent also seemed very confident: "That's right, we'll go to the blue side next time, and we can do whatever we want with BP!"
After a simple adjustment, the second game started soon.
Both sides stepped onto the contestant's bench again.
Before the game started, there were some excited Topsports fans at the scene, shouting "White Crescent Moon has a good BP!!"
BP panel is pulled up.
Since White Crescent failed to find any clues in the previous inter-game review, it just thought that its own bottom lane was unable to deal with the rat, which led to the bottom lane not being able to find the initiative, so it decided to focus on the bottom lane in this game.
It can only be said that the ability to review is one of the most important abilities of a head coach.
This ability to review a situation does not refer to going back to watch the video. Anyone can see something by slowly analyzing it frame by frame.
The real ability to review a situation is whether you can quickly find the key to the problem and think of a feasible key breakthrough in the short ten minutes between sessions.
This is where the coach's ability is tested.
"TES uses the priority to choose the side and comes to the blue side!"
"Top Esports still banned Akali and Galio first, while V5 banned Zeli and Yue Nan. Both teams' moves were very formulaic, but they targeted different points!" Guan Zeyuan commented.
"It seems that TES still wants to follow their first game thinking and target the opponent's main rhythm point mid and support, while V5 continues to target the bottom lane."
I thought there was no problem with White Crescent at first, and it didn't seem much different from the first game.
The third hand in the game exists.
The blue team needs to play the third ban first. But White Crescent has already thought of the formula, almost without thinking.
In his opinion, with the progress of BP up to now, there are still T0 heroes worth fighting for in each position, such as Kui + Ryze + Monkey + Varus in the top, mid, jungle and bottom positions.
Based on previous experience, V5 seems to like to ban Ryze.
"They ban Ryze, so we'll grab Kui first, and then choose a combination for the bottom lane on the second and third floors."
"In that case, let's ban Leblanc. Xiaohu can choose a hero who thrives in the mid lane!"
White Crescent made a decision and banned Leblanc to reduce the early defense and laning pressure.
Both sides are banned in the first round————
TES: Akali, Galio, LeBron
V5: Zelie, Aphelios Monkey!
"Did the Red Team ban Monkey King in the third ban?" Guan Zeyuan was slightly surprised.
"In this case, both Quesanti and Ryzvarus, who were banned in the first round of the first game, are released!"
Mao Huang is still describing the competition system: "This is the charm of the global BP. Many heroes were burned in the first game. It is inevitable that some heroes need to be released in the BP. However, this decision is a big test for the coaching team."
I remember adding: "This is a multiple-choice question for TES. What are they going to grab now?"
Topsports is clearly struggling.
The countdown is almost over, but the blue side has not yet revealed its choice.
"YE, don't you want to play Ryze?" White Crescent pulled her hair with one hand.
The opponent's last move did not go according to the formula I expected, and I was a little confused for a moment, but I had to make a decision within 30 seconds.
Off the court, the most worth grabbing ones are undoubtedly Kui, Ryze, and Varus.
These three heroes each have their own tactical position.
For example, Ryze is invincible in the mid-to-late game, while Kui’s abilities are extremely balanced and can be adjusted.
Varus, on the other hand, represents the strong line rights and combat effectiveness in the early and mid-term of the bottom lane.
The reason why Varus has been strong from the S12 finals to S13.
It is because this hero’s laning ability is second only to the peak version of Skates—and it also has extremely strong functionality!
Jhin and Ashe, who also have this kind of control + strong opening function, are obviously inferior to him in output ability.
Moreover, Varus has extremely high freedom in equipping. If he lacks output, he can buy an attack speed flow and a cramping hand. If he lacks Poke and survival, he can buy an armor-piercing flow and hide behind. If he lacks AP, he can even play the AP flow!
"The coach is running out of time, what should we choose?" The breathing guy on the first floor spoke quickly.
The 30 seconds passed in an instant, and White Crescent was still struggling and thinking, biting the dead skin on her lower lip.
He looked at the AD locked by the red team and the four AD heroes that were burned in the previous game, and felt the embarrassment of AD selection.
"Choose, let Ah Shui choose, Virus!"
The white crescent has its own considerations.
Kui and Ryze are both really strong.
But essentially, these heroes are not the type that can beat you in laning phase or give you an advantage before mid-game.
From this point of view
Especially for the middle lane, it seems like it’s a good thing to give it to the opponent?
As for Kui in the top lane, White Crescent had asked about his breathing before.
Breathing means that you have heroes who can fight.
So in the end he decided to firmly implement his own tactics and focus on the bottom lane!
"TES grabbed Varus, that's no problem but V5 is so comfortable! The red side directly got Ryze + Quesanti on the first and second floors, and then chose double OP!"
"TES chose another combination for the bottom lane, getting Renata to cooperate with Varus to ensure the strength of the laning combination, and then snatching Wei for the jungler!"
"But. V5 directly played Poppy, the classic Poppy vs. Wei!"
"How come V5's red team's BP looks so smooth?"
Poppy's W is firm and can prevent Wei's Q from rushing in and ganking.
At the same time, when Vi is best at starting a team fight, she may be hit by Poppy's counterattack and her teammates who want to follow will be sent flying, resulting in the embarrassing situation of Vi being alone in danger.
But in this version, Poppy is not very common, and even a little unpopular.
Ultimately, it’s because Poppy’s active ganking ability is average, and with many fasting junglers now popular, this slow-paced hero may not be able to keep up with the version.
Enter the second round of ban.
V5 banned Gwen + Tsar.
TES banned Caitlyn and Lucian.
"V5's bottom lane didn't seem to have a good target selection. In the first game, 4 ADCs were burned. In this game, 9 were banned and one was robbed. A total of AD heroes disappeared!"
"Finally, V5 picked Jhin, let's see what TES's mid and top will pick."
White Crescent has been paying attention to the opponent's bottom lane selection.
After seeing Jhin, he thought that the opponent's bottom lane would be at a disadvantage no matter what choice they made.
But the next moment, the selection was over and they were asked to send heroes from the middle and top positions.
The white crescent paused again.
Among the heroes who are good at fighting against Quesanti, Fiora and Gwen are good choices.
He is also a hero who has his own confidence.
Others like Gnar and Kennen can also develop and look forward to team fights, but when they enter a team fight, there is a restraint method that they will be carried away in front of them by Kui. This scene has appeared many times in previous competitions.
"What are you choosing? It's too late!" Jack Ai from the fourth floor also urged.
This urging.
The white crescent became even more anxious.
Gwen was banned, and it seems that the only one left is Fiora.
How come 30 seconds passed so quickly!
"Oh, trust your breathing, and choose Sword Princess for him. Oh, choose slowly!"
Jack Aido waited for five seconds before pressing the confirm button, and then the next 30 seconds began, and the blue side selected the fifth floor.
So what should I choose in the middle lane?
There are actually only two ways to play against Ryze.
Otherwise you beat him up in the early stage.
Or you can choose a hero who is not worse than him in development and fight against him.
Tsar, as well as Kassadin, who is reaping the benefits along with Ryze in the current version, are examples of this.
Even if White Crescent Moon was crazy, he would not think of asking Xiaohu to defeat YE in the early stage. That would be no different from asking Benboerba to kill Tang Seng and his disciples.
"Time is running out, coach!"
"Tsar. Oh, there is no Tsar. Then Kassadin, Kassadin!"
V5 got the cat as the last choice.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
《Blue side: TES vs Red side: V5》
[Top: Wushuang Sword Princess vs. Nazumang's Glory]
[Jungle: Piltover Law Enforcer vs. Hammer of Perseverance]
[Mid Single: Void Walker vs. Rune Mage]
[Archer: Arrow of Punishment vs. Fate Master]
[Assist: Alchemy Baron vs Magic Cat]
"V5's lineup is very solid, with two big front lines in the top and jungle. Cat can enhance a big brother to solve the output problem, and Jhin is used to supplement the second-hand control and damage."
“In a nutshell, the selection is very ‘integrative’!”
"As the red side's BP, I don't see any disadvantages in this lineup. The most I can see is that the bottom lane might be pushed to the line."
The commentary desk was analyzing the lineup.
But when it comes to TES, everyone seems to be hesitant to talk.
"What should I say about this lineup of Shi Taobo? It's actually pretty good, that's..."
"Well, I feel that the global BP is still 30 seconds, which is indeed a bit rushed. After all, every change of the opponent's tactics requires a new thinking game, and it is difficult to use a formula BP."
Guan Zeyuanhe remembered what he hadn't said.
The cat emperor's joking remark actually hit the nail on the head.
“At first glance, the heroes chosen are all powerful in this version, but putting them together feels weird, right~”
"Oh, yes, yes, that's the feeling!"
It is worth mentioning that.
On-the-spot BP and post-game simulation BP are two completely different things.
The difference is probably like watching others drive on the phone screen and driving yourself.
Because BP is a confrontation between two parties, and the opponent cannot possibly proceed completely according to your pre-match expectations.
The coach standing on the BP platform must be prepared to respond to every move made by the opponent.
As long as it does not meet expectations, corresponding response strategies must be produced immediately!
The coach also needs to make a choice between the two major historical problems of "judging the overall situation" and "believing in the players".
Many times, there is nothing wrong with looking at a single option.
But when all five positions are selected and combined together, there is an inexplicable feeling that there is something strange.
Simple description.
If V5's lineup in this game is a Gundam, one person forms the head, one person forms the energy core, and the others form the limbs, fitting perfectly.
The TES lineup is a mix of pieces from here and there, with a feeling of "everyone playing their own game"
When White Crescent walked off the stage, it was as if she had just been through a hand-to-hand martial arts battle.
He even looked a little out of breath, with obvious beads of sweat reflecting on his forehead.
He was just standing there and doing BP.
Those who didn't know would think that he had just walked down from the martial arts arena and had just been beaten up.
