Chapter 204 Global Live Trial! Adjust well and we are waiting for your chapter!
Chapter 204 Global Live Trial! Adjust your schedule and we'll be waiting for you to come back!
After the e-sports Spring Festival Gala, LPL entered the off-season.
But in fact, the so-called offseason is not long. From the game on the 18th to the next game on the 30th, it is only 12 days, less than two weeks.
"Let's go~"
"Waiting for you, come early!"
Since the bottom lane duo didn't go home, they originally planned to stay in the Shenzhen base and walk around the area.
However, everyone had to go home for the New Year, and there was no cook or aunt in the base. The two of them were a little lonely in the empty base when they first arrived, and they couldn't even order takeout.
The thoughtful Saint Spear Brother went to Ye Boyi for discussion.
The two of them approached them and invited the two friends to go home and celebrate the New Year together.
Originally, Deft and Beryl thought it might not be a good idea, but after receiving the warm invitation, they finally set off together.
Because Saint Spear Brother is from Xinhui, Guangdong, which is not far from Shenzhen's home court, the itinerary was decided to go to Ye Bo's house first, and then go to Guangdong to meet up with Saint Spear Brother and the other six before the end of the trip, and then return to the base together.
On the way back.
Ye Bo was communicating with two Riot designers via video conference and video translation, mainly regarding the launch of the new version of Dragon King.
It may be because Ye Bo is the only player who has used Dragon King in the competition in recent years.
Moreover, he single-handedly made this hero, which was originally lonely in the corner, popular again in the global ranking competition before the rework!
Riot Games specifically contacted Ye Bo through Tencent Esports and invited him to host a "global live broadcast" trial game session.
"OK!"
"YE, your idea is very interesting. If you have any further questions, we can discuss it further."
At the end of the show, two bald Riot staff members smiled and made a Chinese New Year greeting gesture to Ye Bo.
"Hi there~" Ye Bo also replied with a smile.
Interesting.
The two designers who came to communicate with him were the designer of the new version of Dragon King and the other was the designer of Akali.
They talked a lot and about a variety of things.
Communicating with designers gives us a completely different perspective on the game, and the perspectives and logic behind various designs are different.
This made him feel both novel and full of new insights.
According to the designer, the next hero to be reworked this year will be Neeko, which will also be a very big rework.
Turn off the laptop.
Ye Bo turned to look at Beryl who was busy rubbing the screen: "Hey Genshin Impact brother, a new game?"
"Well, Bengtie, the public beta will be launched in two months, why don't you try it?" Beryl tried to recommend it again: "It's quite fun, and the female character models are very beautiful!"
"When I'm free~ Wait until I'm free~"
Beryl tried to persuade Ye Bo to play Genshin Impact several times, and Ye Bo always answered with the same answer.
He was used to it and just thought that the other party might not be interested in 2D mobile games.
But Beryl originally thought that based on what the other party had said in the past, he should be a "fellow traveler".
But in fact, Ye Bo just felt that he didn't have time, not that he was unwilling to try new things.
Whenever he thought about the fact that the encyclopedia had not been fully collected, the next game and the new version, he always felt that there were many challenges waiting for him in Summoner's Rift, and he always had a sense of "busyness".
Fortunately, Ye Bo really likes this feeling of being busy.
This made him feel fulfilled.
Deft, who was standing by, was quietly looking at the scenery of the mainland passing by outside the car window, looking relaxed.
at the same time.
At Riot headquarters in Santa Monica, Los Angeles.
The two people who had just hung up the video call also had smiles on their faces.
“Interesting guy.”
CertainlyT rubbed his chin and looked at what he had just recorded.
"Why did you follow me here today? How's the progress of Nicole?" KingCobra teased his colleague.
"Not bad, but Phlox is responsible for the main work, I just provide some creative ideas~"
"As for Phlox, you'd better keep a close eye on him. Be careful of any tricks he might come up with that might affect your performance this year, haha."
This reminds me of the funny story that Phlox broke out a while ago, where a Riot designer played Ryze in a silver league on the US server and died 13 times in 183 games, which led to him being reported and banned.
Both of them couldn't help laughing.
Designers mainly do inspiration-based work, and their levels vary.
The chief designers of Riot generally have their own "design habits".
For example, the lead designer for the Dragon King's remake this time, KingCobra, Brother KC, was once the designer of the new version of Crow.
So it is said that the new version of Dragon King also has a "collection" soul fragment mechanism similar to the new version of Crow.
Another example is August, another famous designer, whose internal nickname at Riot is “Three Ring Brother”.
The heroes he created include Wei, Gnar, Ekko, Jhin, Jinx, Senna, etc., almost all of which have a three-ring mechanism.
The designer who reworked Akali, CertainlyT, is definitely a genius.
The heroes he designed do not have too many conventional features, but focus more on the linkage between skills and skills, and heroes and heroes.
Just look at the heroes that CT brother is responsible for creating, designing, and reworking.
Reworks of Thresh, Skeleton, Zed, Yasuo, Zoe, Nasus, Aphelios, and Akali.
It can be said that most of them are heroes with extremely high "operation limits" and "imagination space"!
The mechanism designs of Thresh, Aphelios, and Yasuo are all highly praised and enduring works by players.
It is also because of this that Brother CT is personally very interested in Ye Bo.
Just because. He felt that this YE really gave him the "feeling" he imagined.
"Actually, the idea that Ye just proposed is very reasonable." Brother CT continued chatting with great interest.
“Perhaps, we should hide more hidden ‘easter eggs’ in the hero designs, allowing players to explore and discover them on their own.”
“It’s so interesting that the players discovered the mechanisms and designs themselves!”
KC scratched his already thin head and said, "Hey, he found so many weird connections even if we didn't bury them on purpose. If we bury them on purpose, it will hurt our hair!"
CT shrugged and joked: "What's the use of hair? Look at Sanhuan, he's completely bald, that's why he's always rated as the top one~"
"Oh, right, I have to go find Phlox first. After hearing what Ye said just now, I suddenly have an idea!"
"It's done. Maybe Neeko's rework can be released earlier!"
Brother CT seemed to have suddenly come up with some inspiration about Neeko and ran away.
Brother KC looked at the anxious other party and just shook his head and sighed, wondering where these guys got so much inspiration.
"Chief, it's really hard to compete with these guys for the chief position."
In comparison, although I have a lot of experience, I can only do Jenga and Sharpshooter.
At the beginning, he was the second knife who worked with Chun-Li to whittle down Knife Girl!
It's really irritating to see people compare to each other.
But this is also why, even though he has more experience than the others and has been responsible for the design of many game modes, he has never been selected as the chief.
The "Chief" of the Riot designer team has a higher leadership position and "authority".
The so-called authority probably means that if you want to consider weakening or strengthening a hero, the chief's opinion will naturally have a greater weight.
In a sense, the chief is also an important recognition for these designers.
After all, the selection criteria do not consider other factors. The only two judging criteria are to look at the heroes they mainly attack and participate in, and the BP rate in Rank + BP rate data performance in the arena.
This is the simplest and most direct way to reflect which hero the players prefer.
Of course, there are unexpected situations.
For example, Brother KC, who originally had no hope of competing, has seen his performance climb to the top several places because of the sudden popularity of Dragon King some time ago. If the new version of Dragon King receives good feedback, he might have a chance to compete!
The guy who was a sword demon at the time had his year-end bonus increased several times!
This is actually why, before the official launch, KC brother came in person for the trial play event which originally only required staff to come and communicate and cooperate.
He wanted to know too.
For Ye Bo, the player who brought Dragon King back to the game, does he have any special ideas about the new version of Dragon King?
After returning to their hometown in Huzhou, Ye Bo and his family warmly entertained Deft and Beryl.
On the phone, Ye Ying heard that two of his teammates could not go home for the New Year.
Before Ye Bo could even open his mouth, she blurted out, "Then bring him home to celebrate the New Year together. It will be so lively!"
Deft's shy and quiet personality makes him very popular with the elders.
Beryl was a half-social phobic, but once the language problem was solved, she could chat freely and naturally.
"Let's clink glasses together and wish you a happy new year!" Ye Ying raised his drink glass.
Beryl, who was gnawing on the crab legs, was anxiously directing her mouth and looking around for a place to wipe it.
Deft beside him had already handed over a tissue tacitly.
"Come to our house during the off-season. It's a relief that you guys take care of our Ye Bo. This kid is very naughty and can't take care of himself."
Ye Ying chatted about family matters naturally.
But Deft obviously didn't understand this kind of Chinese colloquialism, so he quickly waved his hand and said very seriously: "No, Auntie, it's Ye Bo who usually takes care of us, we should thank him."
"Hmm...%#hmm howl." Beryl's cheeks puffed up and his speech was a little slurred.
After the meal, Deft took the initiative to help clean up the table, and even quietly patted Beryl under the table and pulled her back when she was about to leave.
"No need to collect them, go and do your work."
Ye Bo pulled the two of them into the room: "We can try it out together. It shouldn't take long. I'll take you out for a walk after we're done~"
Not surprisingly.
Chen Rui's mouth was crooked with smile again.
Although the global trial was an official live broadcast event organized by Riot, since Ye Bo had a live broadcast contract, he could only negotiate with Bilibili to conduct a dual-location live broadcast.
In foreign countries, propaganda is all “broadcasted” and there is almost no official control.
As a result, many strange websites are also broadcasting it.
Naturally, the only choice for domestic live streaming platform is Bilibili.
This time the traffic is great!
"Here we go, brothers~" Ye Bo's voice was the first to appear in the live broadcast room. When Beryl and Deft appeared in the live broadcast room without any warning, the moment the broadcast started, the barrage of comments came like a tide!
[There are also unexpected surprises! ? ]
[Alpaca and Genshin Impact are celebrating the New Year at Master Ye’s house. What kind of teammates are they? Looking back at the DRX period, they would fight with each other as soon as the game was over.]
[Why is it live streaming at Bilibili? I thought it was on the app store or something]
[Fuck, it's actually a global live broadcast! I just climbed over the firewall to open P station to learn math, but I saw it and quickly switched back to take a look. This is Master Ye's face! ]
[What is P station? Is it the foreign version of B station? ]
[I just watched the trailer for the new version of Dragon King, it’s really cool]
Ye Bo logged into the PBE advance test server account given by Riot, turned on the accelerator, and then switched to Chinese.
While waiting, he also glanced at the comments in the Twitch live broadcast room of the league's official broadcast on the right and greeted foreign viewers.
Most of the words were in English, but Ye Bo could also see various words like [YE! YE!], [love you!], [you are my GOD!], etc.
Foreign fans are obviously more crazy, but unfortunately they can't communicate well. Ye Bo is also thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to learn English in the future.
He first went to the training camp to take a look at the skills of the new version of the Dragon King.
"The passive part is collecting stardust to enhance skills, Q is... I'm going to Charizard!"
"No, why does it suddenly feel more like spitting? It's not as cool as the previous ultimate move."
"But this Q has obviously changed from a control skill to a pure damage skill."
W has become the previous E, and it can still take off from the spot and cross the terrain, with almost no changes.
That is, the name changed from [Beautiful River of Stars] to [Beautiful Sky of Stars].
"Starry Sky!?" Beryl, who was standing by, heard Ye Bo's voice and raised her head reflexively.
The new version of Dragon King's E skill has changed greatly, and it is also one of the core skills of this hero.
It basically summons a ranged "black hole" that will continuously pull enemies towards the center. It can be considered a control skill, and its main function in the early stage seems to be pushing the line to collect passive layers.
But the real power of the E skill lies in——execution at low health!
Once the health of the enemy at the center of the black hole falls below a certain threshold, it will be "executed" instantly!
The effect is probably similar to that of "Ancient Dragon Soul".
Moreover, this blood volume killing threshold can be infinitely stacked and enhanced through passive layers. In theory, it is even possible to achieve "full blood execution"!
As for the ultimate move, Starfall.
Although it’s not as cool as the dragon breath of the old version of Dragon King.
However, the transformation to "summoning a planet" seems to be more in line with the setting of "Star-Forging Dragon King".
Especially, every time you collect 75 stardust, [Starfall] will turn into a [Skyfall].
That could directly cause a terrifying range that would spread to cover most of the map!
"This is so cool!" Ye Bo's eyes lit up.
"How do I dodge this?" Deft, the ADC, realized a serious problem.
There is basically no way to hide.
Even if Tianpu avoided the center that would cause dizziness, the shock wave that would immediately spread to half of the map and the instantaneous 75% slowdown would be enough to hold everyone back.
"He's definitely a monster in team battles." Beryl has keenly sensed the characteristics of the reworked Dragon King.
Q is continuous percentage damage, W is super long displacement, and E is range control + range kill.
The Tianpu version's ultimate move still has a super large-range AOE+control that you can't even dodge!
"Give me a handful!"
Ye Bo couldn't wait to open the matching mode and have a real fight.
However, due to the small number of people in the PBE test server and their obviously not very high level, and the huge gap in basic skills, it is not realistic to expect to experiment to determine the actual combat strength of this hero.
It's mainly about experimenting with gameplay.
The good news is that because it is a global live broadcast and the popularity is quite high, the test server queue is surprisingly fast.
When I entered, no one was fighting for positions or heroes. Instead, the chat box completely turned into a "fan meeting".
There are Chinese, English, and even texts that I can't understand.
Of course there is Korean as well.
"What is this Alpaca guy saying?" Ye Bo saw a Korean ID typing in Korean frantically, and he didn't know what the other party was saying.
But Detf took a look and frowned instantly.
"This person's words are a little strange, but they are not good words."
There is a barrage translator in the live broadcast room who has already taken action.
[The official translator is here! This guy is probably saying something like "We won the championship because we were lucky not to play against T5 in a BO1, otherwise the champion last year would definitely be T1" blah blah]
[I am dying of laughter. I saw a live tadpole. They must be really anxious. How can they be so anxious now after being beaten badly in two group matches last year? ]
[Something is wrong. I am an international student. This sentence has many grammatical problems. It sounds a bit like a machine translation.]
[I am Sherlock Holmes, this is definitely a water ghost or a zombie. After all, I just got beaten up and I can’t have a good New Year~~]
[Werewolf, huh? And he's wearing a tadpole's outfit? What a villain! ]
[From another perspective, could this be the ultimate collaboration between Bilgewater and Dave's Garden! ? ]
Ye Bo didn't understand it anyway, so he didn't take it seriously and just blocked the other party.
But that person was obviously here to cause trouble, and he kept coming to the middle lane on purpose to annoy people.
However, because there was one more person running to the middle lane, the Dragon King, who was originally going to be suppressed in the early stage, actually suppressed the opponent, and because of the mechanism of the E skill "Execution of Minions", he could not miss any soldiers at all!
Ye Bo actually felt that there was some "positive effect".
Fortunately, Riot Games was also watching the live broadcast and almost immediately sent an in-game pop-up warning to the other party.
Of course it certainly won't help.
Then he said hello to Ye Bo and banned that person's account.
"That person's account has been blocked, but this game has to be 4 vs. 5," Ye Bo informed the audience in the live broadcast room, and then began to play the game seriously.
The barrage of comments started to spread [Really, your account is gone] to pay tribute to someone
But I don’t know if it’s because the new version of the Dragon King survived the dangerous period in an inexplicable way.
Ye Bo discovered that his laning phase wasn’t that weak after all!
In other words, as long as you can ensure that you can continuously use the Q skill to the maximum, your sustained combat power and damage will be quite amazing!
Relying on his solid basic skills, Ye Bo remained stable in the laning phase even with a ping value of 150. He quickly explored and understood the operations of the new version of Dragon King and quickly developed rapidly.
The grown-up Dragon King was even more terrifying, and a waterfall from the sky crashed down, seemingly destroying the canyon!
The feeling of oppression is huge!
After a fierce battle of 41 minutes, the range of Dragon King's Black Hole E had grown to almost cover the entire middle riverbank.
Ye Bo directly staged a real 1v5 horror show!
【? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】
[So fierce? Another supermodel monster! ]
[Wake up, this looks very weak in the early stage, I might be killed in 5 minutes]
[It’s bad. If Master Ye plays tricks on me like this, I might not even be able to get out of the test server before I’m killed. Just wait and see.]
[Fuck you guys! Topsports is going crazy! White Crescent is out! ! ]
Because it was a trial session, the itinerary was very simple.
After all, even someone as dedicated as Ye Bo wouldn't want to do a live broadcast during the Chinese New Year.
The one-hour trial session passed quickly, and Ye Bo ended the broadcast and took the two of them out to explore Huzhou.
And just now.
When all the hot searches on Weibo and major forums were attracted by this global trial session.
Topsports' official Weibo account quietly posted a message.
TES Topsports Club: [After friendly negotiations between the two parties, head coach Luo Sheng applied to temporarily leave the team for rest and adjustment due to personal reasons, and the former deputy coach will temporarily take over the position of head coach.]
Once this Weibo post was released, it instantly made the team, which was already at the center of controversy, become a hot topic!
After all, in the game that ended yesterday, the coaching team's BP was the most criticized, and TES fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the coach more than once.
And from the comments of Wan Jun below.
The responses from several TES players were inexplicably eye-catching.
The most eye-catching among them is Mr. Jack Love.
jackeylove: "@白色月牙, adjust yourself well, we will be waiting for your return!"
But as expected, the comment section below was full of ridicule.
[Hahahahahahahahahaha! V5 was too ruthless, it would be ok if they just beat the coach out of his job! ]
[It looks like a meow!!! This is the best New Year gift for Topsports fans! ]
[bsyy, are you pulling? I asked you, but I saw you weren't pulling at all! You just want to be a deserter! You just want your brother to become fermented bean curd alone! ]
[Don't adjust. I suggest bsyy to transfer directly to AG Super Play Club. It's the right place for you! ]
[Oh no, what on earth are Topsports fans optimistic about? Even if bsyy is bad, who will replace him after he leaves? ]
[My personal suggestion is to buy Beryl and YE, then we will have a chance to succeed in Top Esports! ]
Obviously this was an episode that no one expected.
Even Ye Bo didn't expect the impact of this game to be so great
But in fact.
The main impact is still the competition system.
White Crescent's departure from the team, in addition to the public pressure from that game, was perhaps largely due to the fact that he also realized that he might not be able to handle the overall BP.
This game will also be a new test for other strong teams.
Perhaps, it’s not just TES that needs to make adjustments.
The New Year holiday is short.
During this time, Ye Bo took the two men to travel around various districts in Huzhou, and also went to Shaxian, a two-hour drive away, to eat authentic Shaxian snacks!
Beryl walked to the door and exclaimed, "I've seen this nest in Korea before!"
However, they would be recognized almost everywhere they went, especially Ye Bo, which often caused traffic jams.
Later on, I didn’t dare to go out anymore.
In the last few days, the three of them basically played games at home.
Interestingly, Ye Ying and Ye Xiong also joined in later, and the five of them played a few games of alternative five-man black.
Of course, it’s just entertainment modes like matching battle royales.
However, the couple also personally experienced the "Real Champion Playtime" experience!
Ye Bo only planned to spend New Year's Eve at home before setting off to find Saint Spear Brother, and then everyone would return to the base early to prepare for the upcoming spring game.
After all, it’s not long after the New Year.
They will soon face another strong enemy - JDG!
