Chapter 240: Mountain and Sea Scroll Form! "There is no impenetrable wall in the world"!
Chapter 240: Mountain and Sea Scroll Form! "There is no impenetrable wall in the world"!
The bearded European host drawled out his voice, and when he read out each ID he clicked his tongue at the end of the sentence as if he was singing rap.
"Top laner Flandre, jungler Xun, bottom laner Deft and support Beryl, and..."
"Mid laner, YE!"
He obviously did not follow the order of positions on purpose, and what was even more obvious was that right after Ye Bo walked out, screams in various languages suddenly exploded from below!
Even though I was abroad at the time, I felt like I was at home, with audiences from all over the world cheering in the circle.
Thanks to his charming moments on the court, Ye Bo now has an incredible number of fans abroad, as evidenced by the fact that at least half of the V5 audience seats at the scene today are European local audiences.
The broadcast data of the Rat TV in this year's LPL Spring Split has increased by nearly 200%, with the vast majority of the increase coming from V5's games!
At this time, there were still people below shouting: "YE yes! YE yes! YE yes!"
Foreign audiences naturally have a similar barrage culture to that in China. This is a recent joke about Ye Bo abroad.
Maybe it’s because {YE} and {YES} only differ by one letter — every time Ye Bo makes a brilliant move in a V5 match, the comments will be filled with YES! YES!
If you die, you will immediately get NO! NO!
Of course, since Ye Bo doesn't surf the ocean very often, he wasn't very clear about these things. He just waved enthusiastically to the audience below.
"V5, the No. seed from LPL, has three world champions and last year's FMVP! I look forward to their brave performance today!"
The host waited for the noise to die down and took a deep breath.
"Then, let us once again welcome the second seed from LCK, T!1!"
"Top laner Zeus, jungler Oner, bottom laner Gumayusi and support Keria"
The host repeated the same move, shouting with an even more passionate voice:
"Mid, Faker!"
Compared to the four players of V5 who appeared earlier, the four players of T1 seemed to be even more deserted - after all, the four-man team of ZOGK has never won the world championship so far, and their best result was the runner-up in MSI last year.
But in stark contrast to this was the even more exaggerated screams from the audience when Lee Sang-hyuk appeared on stage, with many fanatical European and American audiences even standing up and cheering.
Although the ZOGK quartet has not achieved any results yet.
But once F is added to the list, the team's number of championships will almost catch up with V5!
It can only be said that with the ID of Faker, it is enough to have a home-court effect in any region in the world.
The host also introduced the team this way: "As the runner-up of last year's MSI, T1, the only active three-time champion, will always be a force that cannot be ignored in the international arena! They are making a comeback today, and they must be ready for this big battle!"
"Whether V5 will continue their victory in California or T1 will take revenge and rebuild their dynasty, let's wait and see!"
The spotlights flashed alternately and finally converged in the center of the stage.
The MSI championship trophy is before your eyes!
The two players took their seats and prepared to fight.
Beryl lost the coin betting before the game, and when he came back he kept saying, "This coin betting is really poisonous."
The LPL live broadcast room has started warming up.
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2023 Mid-Season Championship!" Guan Zeyuan was in high spirits.
"Everyone must have been looking forward to this match for several days. Both sides are old rivals, and it will definitely be a match that everyone is looking forward to!"
Remember to continue the conversation: "It has been more than half a year since the last match between the two sides, and the data reference from the playoffs to now is not accurate enough. I wonder if both sides will have new preparations today!"
Rita next to him smiled and said, "I'm personally looking forward to the hero Neeko. No one has brought out her so far, but it's actually quite interesting to rework this hero."
Guan Zeyuan acted like a knowledgeable guy: "Well, this seems a bit difficult~"
"On the one hand, it's just been reworked and everyone hasn't had enough time to explore it. On the other hand, this rework is actually more like a nerf. Oh, it's definitely a buff for ranked! I've been tricked several times!"
What he said is not random, it is also the view of almost all teams at present.
The focus of Neeko's rework this time is the transformation of her passive skill - from only being able to transform into a hero to being able to transform into "almost everything" in Summoner's Rift.
Including minions, traps, eyes, wild monsters, plants, and even summons.
But the problem is, it’s of no use!
It was really useful at first.
Whether Neeko follows the minion line to the lane, suddenly runs to the sideline to gank, or hides in the minion pile to start a team fight in the later stage, it makes all the players feel a little PTSD!
but.
Once everyone understands this routine, it will be useless.
Once everyone has suffered this torture, they will definitely develop the habit of counting the soldiers in each wave.
There are only 6 soldiers in a normal wave.
If there is one more soldier inexplicably, then five big moves will be thrown into the pile of soldiers instantly!
This is the case for all the random players in the ranking matches. With the vigilance and discipline of the professional players in the competition, it will only be more difficult to ambush others.
In addition, during the rework, the damage values of Neeko's three QER skills were all weakened.
It looks like a purely entertainment rework, and with the reduced damage value, it's no wonder that no one is interested in it.
at this time.
On the VIP stands, three people who obviously didn’t have enough hair were discussing this issue.
"CT, it looks like your Neeko still has no hope of playing today~"
"So what's wrong? It's normal that he didn't play. It's because the players haven't discovered the charm of this hero yet. Then let me ask you, KC, where is your Dragon King?"
"Fuck! It's all the fault of the balance team. How can they cut two versions at a time?" KC was touched in the sore spot and couldn't help but swear: "If I were the chief, I would definitely not agree with this way of cutting!"
The completely bald man next to him glanced at him and said, "It's a pity that you are not, I am."
"And that's not what you said when you were shaving the knife girl."
These three people are KC, the designer of Dragon King, CT, the designer of the reworks of Akali and Neeko, and Sanhuan, who loves to design heroes with three rings.
The competitions held in European and American countries are very close, and the three people’s recent projects have also been completed. After discussion, they came to the scene to watch the competition together.
Of course.
Although CT brother said that he didn't care.
But seeing that the Neeko I worked on day and night just to catch up with MSI is now ignored, I feel a little "disappointed".
He could only look at a figure in the center of the stadium, hoping that the other party would
The first round bans for both teams:
T1: Akali, Wei, Annie
V5: Ahri, Jayce, Xia
"T1 grabbed Quesanti! Despite multiple rounds of nerfs, this hero is still the object of competition among teams!"
"They didn't ban Sylas. The last ban was probably a gamble. If V5 had given the last ban to Quesanti, I'm sure T1 would have grabbed Sylas themselves."
Although Quesanti is also a "dead man", his situation is very different from that of heroes like Dragon King.
The status has hardly changed.
What it boils down to is that the designers have not yet realized that this hero’s strength lies not just in his stats, but in his mechanics!
It’s just that before, the numbers and mechanisms were both amazing.
Sylas also has some weakening in this version, and since Sylas is useless against Quesanti, even if he steals the ultimate, it will still be a negative improvement, and he can't push the line.
That’s why T1 finally banned Annie, who had no way to deal with Quesanti.
"V5 counterattacked and grabbed Titan + Jinx!"
"Jinx is fine. She just went through a major buff and is definitely the best in this AD core meta!"
"Titan may swing in the middle. In the previous few days of competition, many teams have used Titan to deal with Quesanti!"
It is worth mentioning that.
The Titan mid laner in this MSI was indeed first used in the European and American regions in this version.
However, judging from their extremely "green" usage results, it is obvious that they do not practice very often, and it is even possible that they are just experimental attempts.
If we really want to push back, there is already a precedent for Titan mid lane.
Even in ancient times, top lane Titan and mid lane Titan were the mainstream, and there was no such thing as support Titan!
It was simply due to the subsequent numerical weakening that he was unable to defeat the opponent in the laning phase and had to climb to the support position.
The reason why this version is suddenly playable again is mainly due to the designer's previous enhancements to the "Hard Support Version", which also greatly enhanced Titan.
The most critical E skill has reduced mana consumption and increased damage, and the ability to push the line is back, which provides the theoretical basis for returning to the line.
of course.
Caps in that G2 game also proved that Titan is still far from being able to counter Tequesanti.
Including V5 and T1, the mid laners of various Eastern teams have only started to urgently practice this hero in the past few days, and regard him as an option that can be used to deal with the mid laner Quesanti.
The good news is that Titan seems to be a "hands-only" hero in everyone's eyes, and it doesn't take too much time to train.
Moreover, Ye Bo has an "unexpected" special advantage.
"T1 got Aphelios for Lu Bu, and Kindred for Oner!" "Among the three core heroes in this version, Lu Bu's top priority is Jinx and Moon Man. It's a very comfortable choice for the blue side in the first game!"
It is worth mentioning that Varus was "retired" almost overnight in the MSI version.
In addition to numerical adjustments.
It is more because Varus is not a big core AD. In terms of output, he is not as good as the three families of Yueze, Jinyu, and he has no displacement and can easily die suddenly, which does not conform to the trend of the current version.
In addition, the thickness of the lineup in the current version has increased, and Varus' most comfortable Poke flow is not easy to exert.
As for Kindred, she is a hero who has benefited from the new version just like Mantis and Nidalee.
The jungle has been reshuffled in this version, and among the old strong heroes, only Monkey King and Wei are still strong - this is mainly due to the nobility of "God of War".
As the two heroes most suitable for this equipment, their strength is still online, and at most there is no need to ban or select them.
As V5 has a mature hero system, it is natural and reasonable for T1 to grab Kindred.
V5 picked Mantis on the third floor.
Entering the second round of BP————
V5: Toad, Renata
T1: Galio, Rakan
"The fourth floor of V5 chose Crocodile! They still chose to leave the counter position to the support!"
"T1 added Lulu, and also had Gragas on top."
V5 did not leave the counter position for the top laner, except because they wanted to play a counter in the support position.
Actually there is another reason.
T1 went through two BO5 matches and revealed some things when heading to the play-in round.
For example, some of their version of "Tactical Adjustments".
Everyone in V5 discovered that in this version, T1 began to actively choose tanky top laners for Zeus. In the 6 games of the qualifying round, they chose Ornn, Sion, and Gragas in 6 games. There was even one game with Malphite!
Those who don’t know may think that Zeus is translated into Chinese as three Arabic numerals!
Everyone in V5 didn’t know the reason.
But this is enough for them to make some targeted designs.
"V5's last choice turned out to be a robot!"
"It's really good! As long as the robot's hook is not tilted to the sky, it will focus on soft supports like Lulu. It is also a powerful weapon to break the four-protecting-one lineup!"
"So in the end, Titan is still the mid laner. Master Ye has become so hot in just a few days?"
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
《Blue Team: T1 vs Red Team: V5》
[Top order: Gragas vs Desert Butcher]
[Jungle: Everhunter Twins vs. Void Reaver]
[Mid-lane: Nazumang Glory vs Deep Sea Titan]
[Shooter: The Su of the Remnant Moon vs. the Violent Lolita]
[Assistance: Fairy Witch vs Steam Robot]
Before leaving the stage, Benji was still rubbing the mid laner's shoulders.
There seemed to be some worry in his eyes.
Li Xianghe shook his wrist and turned his head to give a reassuring look.
The comments in the official live broadcast room were already noisy, with everyone arguing about the lineups of both sides.
[What on earth is the V5 coach doing? Why did he choose a stupid hero like Titan for Master Ye? Who will be the C? Does he want to take the space elevator? ]
[Oh, Master Ye chose it himself, that's fine. He must have his reasons for doing so!]
[But I watched Titan fight Kui a few days ago and it was just like that. It was really not that good, right? ]
[I really want to ask, what is the T1 coaching staff doing? Why not give Zeus a carry who can kill the opponent? This clearly shows that the top lane has a huge advantage, what are they thinking? ]
[Holy Spear Brother: Oh? What champion are you?]
[Ah, yes, yes, yes, I’ve completely understood everything from the barrage. The T1 coaches are all idiots, not as good as the barrage! ]
On the other side, Ye Bo adjusted his rune talents, selected the "Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll" skin, and then "closed his eyes and rested" in front of the screen.
This is a special skin easter egg obtained after the champion skin is launched.
Perhaps it is because the Shanhai Painting Scroll series of skins are from the same origin as the EDG champion skins, and strictly speaking, they can even be said to be from the same series of skins.
In addition, the special nature of the two champion skins created a linkage.
This is also the first time that Ye Bo unlocked an Easter egg by "getting skin"!
【Eastern Mythology·Mountain and Sea Scroll】
[Practice to improve the speed of heroes with {Shanhai Huijuan} series skins——When using this series of skins in battle, you will be controlled by Zhulong and have the operating form of Akali.]
coincidentally.
The first edition of the Shanhai Painting Scroll series of skins released in 21 happened to include the two heroes {Neeko} and {Titan}.
Ye Bo also has Neeko in his preparation pool today!
It's just that this hero is impossible to be banned now, so there is no need to be too anxious to expose it when the hero pool is sufficient in the first few games.
The game is loaded and ten people step into the canyon.
The scene immediately erupted in cheers and shouts, and the noise was deafening!
The LPL event live broadcast room was crowded with people, all cheering for their home team.
The commentators also quickly got into the game, paying attention to the first-level group movements of V5.
"In this match, the red team has a double hook lineup, plus the team name V5, so they are going to cause trouble at level !"
"T1's position seems very stable."
Titan + Robot + Jinx, three T0 heroes in a level one group, the T1 didn't even think about engaging in battle.
The standard long snake formation, with multiple people defending several key entrances.
But there is no wall that is impenetrable.
With such a first-level team lineup, V5 no longer needs to think about too many complicated designs. As long as they catch the enemy, they will almost certainly be able to kill them!
After leaving the fountain, all members of V5 ran towards the lower area with a clear goal.
There is no other reason.
The player Aunt Yoshi is definitely one of the least disciplined players in the Korean AD game. There are countless cases where he made positioning mistakes in the first level team fight and inexplicably gave away the first blood.
Maybe it’s not great enough, but it should at least have something to do with brother!
On the other hand, even if V5 does not find an opportunity in the lower zone, they will invade the lower jungle area to gain the offensive rights in the lower zone.
"Lee Min Hyung, it's a bit dangerous to stand there."
Aunt Yosi, who was standing at the triangle grass to defend, quickly responded to the "patrol reminder" from the mid laner and wanted to retreat immediately.
But at this time.
A Titan that obviously appeared at the wrong time has appeared in sight!
You know, since the red team has to cross an extra river, they should still be crossing the river when the ADC is in position!
Fortunately, he received the reminder in time.
Aunt Yoshi immediately turned her head to the left and leaned towards the wall.
This is obviously a smart move.
The robot was obviously still some distance away from Titan. At this time, he only needed to walk close to the wall and get close to the corner as quickly as possible so that he could immediately use the wall as cover.
This way, even if the opponent wants to flash and hook, he will have enough time to react!
Aphelios has reached the corner of the wall.
However, Titan, still without any hesitation, threw the anchor [clearing the channel] forward to hook towards the wall.
Aunt Yoshi, who had seen everything clearly, was not upset at all. After all, she had a jungle wall protecting her face.
But the next moment.
His eyes suddenly widened in surprise!
The hooked anchor seemed to "penetrate the wall" and hit Aphelios, and it was pulled back "through the air"!
"Why!?"
"Aunt Yoshi what are you doing!!!"
Aphelios' body was pulled up by the wall, and the brief knockback control made him unable to operate, and no matter how quickly he pressed FFFFF, there was no response.
And the [Mechanical Flying Claw] that flashed out has already flown over!
Yu's hook predicted the landing point in mid-air and threw the [Fire Chew Grenade] in one go. Aphelios had just been clamped to the ground by the doll, and he was immediately clamped again!
Looking at the five burly men looking at her face, Aunt Yoshi had already taken her hands off the keyboard and gave up struggling.
But he was really a little stupid.
What happened! ?
Is there really a wall in the world that is breathable?!
