205: Momentum, pre-match surprise
Before fighting the Red Army WE, YM had to participate in a series of commercial activities.
They filmed a whole day of advertising for the owner BMW in front of a green screen.
After the BMW finished filming the advertisement, it directly left a few new models for YM as their means of transportation.
"Which of you has a driver's license?" Lin Ran looked at the X7 in front of him and was a little dazed.
Teammates shook their heads, everyone is an Internet addict teenager, usually on vacation, I can't wait to stay in the dormitory all day and not go out, where is the time to get a driver's license?
"You guys wait for the offseason to take one," Guo Hao laughed, and he and White Crescent were the only ones in the YM team who had driver's licenses, "or this car would become the private property of me and the coach." ”
On the second day, there will be an advertisement for sponsor Belle International, and then the official interview team of the LPL event, who will create momentum for the upcoming battle of the spotlight.
YM is indeed strong now, but LPL officials need to come up with a challenger.
It's impossible for a league to let a club dominate all the time, and who likes to watch a one-sided crushing game without suspense except for team fans? The high-intensity competition between several strong teams can maintain the health of the league.
WE, which is also in full swing with four consecutive wins, has become the object of official support.
All the commercial activities were over, leaving only two days for YM to adjust, and WE spent a week on the sidelines - they didn't have a big sponsor, the team was very tight, and the biggest amount of money was used to sign Redmi.
Hupu and YM Weibo Chaohua were the first to discover this problem, and for a while, [YM training attitude is slack, WE is confident and seriously preparing for the battle] such news is flying all over the sky.
YM posted a sponsor advertisement on the official blog, and the comments at the bottom were all urging the team to train, and by the way, the YM manager scolded two more words, thinking that they should not let the team receive so many advertisements, so as not to affect the training and competition results of the players.
Guo Hao felt that he was really wronged.
The small sponsor Guo Haoli ignored it and directly postponed the date of the business event, or canceled it directly.
This year, it cost more than 30 million yuan to sign 4 champions, plus the rent and the salary of the management personnel, a club spends 5KW a year to build a base, and does not find sponsors, where does the money come from to maintain the operation of the club?
But the official is very satisfied with this, the momentum has become bigger, hot spots have appeared, and when the time comes, a large number of traffic will come in by themselves.
With the controversy over YM's attitude to training on social networks, Saturday's race day quietly arrived.
In the afternoon, the YM team members boarded the BMW and headed to the Super Brand Mall, where the special black and red paint scheme and the YM team logo on the side of the vehicle made everyone recognizable the owner of the vehicle at a glance.
And the YM team logo is surrounded by black dragons, which looks bells and whistles.
YM operations took a photo and posted an official blog.
The number of comments instantly exceeded 1,000.
[One thing to say, although it is stupid to shoot so many commercials, the BMW car is still handsome. 】
[Jimei, in order to support Ran and Jack, I mentioned a BMW 7 Series that I have liked for a long time this afternoon. The review was followed by a photo of the car purchase contract.
【??? 】
[Does the rich woman still lack a little follower? ] I can help with the bag. 】
[I can not only carry a bag, but also help beat my legs, sister, I don't want to work hard! ] 】
knight was also in the car, and he came to watch the YM race as usual.
His YMA team has been doing very well in the LSPL this spring, winning 12 straight matches in four weeks, and just a few days ago they defeated JDM with Jin Canyi and lvmao, and Tianlu with zoom.
This seemingly introverted teenager scored 23 single kills in 12 games, just counting the number of single kills, Knight is even more terrifying than Lin Ran last year.
Poor LSPL's group of old oilers, after a year, they have to face the terrifying suppressive power of YM mid-laner again.
Knight recently pestered Lin Ran to ask him to talk about the knowledge of wandering support, and now Knight's ability is mainly reflected in his ability to suppress the lane in the early and middle stages, but the sense of anti-catch and support is not strong.
This is also a common problem for most high-scoring passers-by who have just played professionally, and they will play the right line, but they will start to get lost in the middle and late stage, and the rough and lack of details of the movements and operations in the middle and late stages are easy to be seized by the other party.
They are more like a piece of jade, and the coaching staff needs to gradually polish and make up for their shortcomings while maintaining their strengths.
The coaching staff of YMA had to manage a whole team, and obviously could not satisfy the hungry knight, so his left hand directly wrapped around Lin Ran.
"Let's say the first game...... Lin Ran didn't look for other videos, just take the German Cup YMA game against the Snakes last winter.
"You killed the snake team alone, and then pushed off the middle lane of a blood tower in 11 minutes, and the team's economy was ahead of 2K, but then you frequently wandered the side lane but couldn't achieve results, and the rhythm was instantly interrupted, until 20 minutes you even fell behind the 1K economy, what do you say about this problem?"
Lin Ran let out a soft voice and didn't wake up Jack, who was listening to a song with headphones on the side.
"The coach said that this mid lane one-blood tower can be pushed a little later," Knight looked at the replay of the game on the tablet in front of the two, "As long as the defense tower does not fall, the opposite mid-laner must stand under the tower if he wants to eat soldiers, so that I can extend the match-line period and continue to squeeze the development environment of the opposite mid-laner." ”
The reason is very simple, purely on the development environment of the soldier line, it must be more comfortable near the second tower, and the probability of facing the jungler gank is also lower, if the first tower remains in a state of residual blood, the other party must be afraid of the multi-person enveloping the tower that may appear at any time.
Lin Ran nodded, "This is a way for you to continue to carry forward the strengths of the right line." ”
"But this method, to be honest, is more ...... Biased to passers-by, it is a typical pig flow," Lin Ran did not shy away, "In the game, the strategic value of the middle lane tower is very large, if you can choose, 99.9% of the teams will demolish the middle lane tower first." ”
"Actually, in your situation, the best way to push down a tower is indeed to wander to support," Lin Ran took out a touch capacitive pen and drew on the tablet, "but you found the wrong target." ”
"After pushing the middle tower, your priority should not be the opposite side hero, but the jungler." Lin Ran looked at Knight's focused gaze.
"Why can't you catch the opposing side's side hero all the time? Because the jungler sofm on the opposite side can always easily insert the green jungler knife ornament eye into the path you must go through to support. ”
He circled two positions on the tablet, and Sofm's eyes were very deep, and he had a complete insight into the path of the knight's operation.
"If you drive Sofm out of the jungle first, he can't do it easily, and he can't even brush the jungle, and you can help your own jungler build an advantage after a few waves of anti-wilding."
"As long as the jungler is uncomfortable in the professional game, it will definitely not be easy online, the map is dark, and the opposite side doesn't even need you to catch it, they will panic themselves." Lin Ran patiently explained to him.
Knight nodded knowingly, his talent for games was quite high, and he understood this simple theory as soon as he heard it.
Looking at the bright eyes behind the left, Lin Ran suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
No wonder Su Cheng likes being a teacher so much, and the feeling of teaching students is really cool.
Arriving at the Super Brand Mall, the YM players put on their makeup and listened to the coaching staff's analysis of the game in the lounge.
Due to the heavy shooting tasks some time ago, YM only held a brief pre-game discussion last night, and the two analysts, Su Cheng and doom, have completed all their tasks, and today is mainly the work of the white crescent.
After talking about some details of the game, White Crescent began to discuss BP with the players.
"In the early stage of this game, we mainly defended the opposite midfield, who was the main rhythm point of WE in the early stage; And their new support Ben especially likes to play Lulu and Grasshopper, which are extremely expensive supports, but the disadvantage is that the playing style is biased towards the Lai line, and there is very little linkage between him and Nakano. ”
White Crescent sat on a chair staring at the whiteboard in front of him, and he subconsciously bit his lip when he thought about the problem, "This ......"
He used a marker pen to write and draw on it, listing the BP plan.
"Redmi is supposed to be targeting the Prophet, is it okay for us to lower the priority of the lower lane BP in this round?" White Crescent looked back, "So we can lean towards Nakano in BP thinking." ”
"It's okay," Jack put his hands behind his head, his body dangling on his back on the gaming chair, his two small short legs resting on the table in front of him, his posture extremely rampant, "just win." ”
"Then let's try it first." The white crescent moon closes the marker.
A quarter of an hour before the start of the match, the two teams waited behind the stage.
Holding a can of Wang Tsai's milk in his hand, he kept sucking it with a plastic tube, he cut a pot lid, and his round face looked like a copy of Wang Tsai.
"Boss Su, hurry up and drink, don't let you bring this kind of drink that reveals other trademarks on stage." The WE staff on the side reminded.
Xi Ye's round eyes rolled, and then he first opened the paper cup that he was going to bring to the stage, drank the ice water inside, and poured the Wang Tsai milk in the jar into the paper cup with the LPL logo.
"You can't see it, can you?" Xi Ye laughed proudly twice.
Today's pre-game process is going very fast, YM waited backstage for a long time before taking the lead under the introduction of the host, Lin Ran said hello to 957, who looked like the NB team's top single V, when he left.
With glasses, the elegant and easy-going 957 came to play after college, and he was born in 93 and is 24 years old, two years older than Jin Gong, who has a vicissitudes of life, and is definitely an elderly person in e-sports.
"Let's welcome Team YM first...... "The hostess smiled professionally, reciting the IDs of Kim Gong and Xiao Tian in turn.
Then he was supposed to introduce Lin Ran, but he didn't expect the hostess to look at him with a little meaning, and jumped directly to Jack and the prophet.
???
Lin Ran looked dazed, his hand was halfway up and forced to put it down, Xiao Tian laughed mercilessly.
The scene was slightly awkward.
Aftershock paused for two seconds after introducing the Prophet's ID, "And...... YM Mid Single Ran! ”
Lin Ran didn't know why he put himself at the end, but he still honestly waved his arms to greet the audience. Bibi eBook
At this time, scattered humming sounds sounded in the audience, and then many audience members joined them, and the humming sound of everyone gathered together and spread to every corner of the venue.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you......"
Lin Ran was stunned in place, as if there was a warm current shuttling through his heart.
"Lin Ran, happy 18th birthday!" There were audience members in the audience who put their hands to their mouths and shouted loudly in the shape of a trumpet.
Behind him, a staff member pushes out a cart with a cake on which is a small figure wearing a black and red team uniform, holding a trophy with the words 'YMRan' printed on the back.
The background music of the scene also switched from the original rhythmic electronic music to a birthday song.
Aftershock walked up to Lin Ran and sent birthday wishes to Lin Ran.
The big screen behind him starts playing a video.
Lin Ran's teammates appeared one after another to send him birthday wishes, including Shi Senming, Han Yi and analysts, who have left the team.
Lin Ran didn't expect the LPL official to remember his birthday and give himself a surprise.
He looked at the garlic king, Xiao Yu was still smiling when he just introduced the team members, obviously knowing the official plan in advance, but he still made himself embarrassed.
Lin Ran beckoned, and Xiaotian obediently clung to it.
"You wait," he said in a vicious voice, "Today's BO3 you can pass 100 in a single game, and I won't be surnamed Lin!" ”
Xiao Tian shuddered.
Yu Shuang smiled and handed the microphone in his hand to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran's face changed quickly, and he took the microphone and moved his Adam's apple slightly, "...... This is my first birthday on the field, so thank you all for your best wishes. ”
Hundreds of audience members sang birthday songs to him, which really touched him.
"There will be many more times in the future! We're here for you! "Some viewers shouted with a banner saying 'Happy Birthday Lin Ran'.
Lin Ran bowed to the audience, took the knife and symbolically cut the cake, and then walked into the contestant seat with his teammates.
When the WE players took the stage, there were still 5 minutes before the start of the game, and Lin Ran's birthday event did not delay the normal progress of the game.
LPL officials apparently learned the lesson of the 2015 summer tournament, when they forcibly postponed the game for the factory director's birthday and was sprayed into a sieve.
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the LPL Spring Tournament...... "The commentary partner of the focus battle is still Doll Gamiller, "The two of us wish Ran a happy 18th birthday first. ”
"This is finally an adult, and I can go to an Internet café to play in the future." The doll was joking.
The audience in the live broadcast room of the event also spontaneously brushed up all kinds of birthday wishes.
Now that the domestic mid-laner is in decline, in the case of Gao Dewei's semi-retirement, the only domestic mid-laner who can take out his hand in the LPL is Lin Ran, Xiye and Xiaohu.
Lin Ran's undoubted performance and the blessing of the first FMVP of the S competition in the competition made him very popular with pure passers-by.
But even so, it has caused quite a bit of controversy on the Internet.
[Celebrate the player's birthday during the competition? ] Is it bad to focus on the game? 】
[Just squirt hard? Why don't people have a birthday before the game? And you didn't miss the game, what are you calling here? 】
[Hee-hee, YM is an old marketing team, shoot advertisements before the game, and today the live LPL celebrates his birthday, everyone who understands it, the official god is just a god. 】
What about making Nima? If you win the S6 championship, I'll make you one, and no one will care about you for a birthday party all afternoon before the game. 】
[Ignore him, if you don't praise YM, will it be difficult to create a god for the relegation team? ] I'm afraid that if he is not given a chance, he will not be useful. 】
[I'm just waiting to see how YM loses this game, they really think they can win WE without serious training? 】
With a crisp sound, the BP picture appeared on the big screen of the venue.
"WE has the right to choose the side first, they took the initiative to choose the red side in the first game, and the blue side YM banned the poodle first!"
After the rework, Rengar has firmly occupied the dominant position in the jungle with its excellent raid mechanics, powerful heads-up ability, and Q skill's good range clearing ability.
WE chose to block Ice, and since Jack's Ice in YM's opener completely sealed Ning's position, none of the teams had released her when facing YM.
"YM second ban to Marzaha, this version of the grasshopper is mainly used to play the auxiliary position, to 6 after the ability to cooperate with the jungler is extremely strong, the ultimate can kill a hero in seconds, and ben grasshopper is also quite proficient, or have to respect it."
After that, WE banned Sindra and the Enchantress.
And YM's third ban position is given to mystic's big mouth, WE's big mouth system practiced this year is quite good, this hero has a strong force in the middle of the game, and the team battle formation of WE iron bucket formation can often have the effect of reversing the situation.
"In this way, the green steel shadow will be released, let's see if YM chooses ......" The doll looked at the BP screen, "This hero was slashed in version 7.3, and it was also released several times in the professional arena in the first two weeks, and the powerful hero mechanism was placed there, and the effect of the selection was not bad." ”
"But the numerical problem affects the alignment, and the coaching staff of each team has also discovered in the past two days that Shen and the crocodile are now quite comfortable facing the line when facing the Qinggang Shadow, and they are basically in a state of arbitrary suppression." Miller explained.
YM didn't hesitate too much, decisively took down the blind monk, and carried out the idea of instilling BP advantage into Nakano as the white crescent moon said before the game.
And WE does not take the green steel shadow first-hand, but chooses the combination of prudence + praying mantis.
It's not that 957 won't play Green Steel Shadow, but because WE doesn't allow it.
The Green Steel Shadow is biased towards a single belt and is a typical hero who needs tactical tilt
957 plays a blue-collar role in the team, and is basically a tank hero who chooses to take on the role of opening a team, and Condi basically ignores him during the line period.
This is the white crescent moon has long thought of the yang scheme, WE only needs to choose the red side, then in the face of the first round of YM ban is not enough, there must be a few strong heroes to come out, Qinggang Shadow is one of them.
Chose the Green Steel Shadow for the Xiba native Jingong, and then locked Lucian.
The white crescent originally wanted to use Lucian to do a mid-to-lower double-C swing to give Redmi a problem.
But Redmi reacted extremely quickly and he took the hammerstone in the final pick of the first round.
Then, in the second round of Ban, he blocked the two heroes, Zyra and Fire Man.
Although S6 left the team with Xiao Ming, a fire man, Redmi banned him just in case, and then selected Karma for Xiye in the second round.
The white crescent moon's face instantly darkened.
The problem is obvious.
Karma, Grasshopper, Zyra, Fire Man...... The AP support is basically gone, if he wants to force Lucian to Lin Ran, then YM can only use a set of kitchen knife team lineups, and it is very likely that the team battle in the later stage will not be able to deal with 957 Shen.
Now he can only give Lucian to Jack, but the hammerstone that best matches Lucian in the professional arena has been selected by WE in the first round.
And Bron, who can be paired with Lucian, is too passive in the bottom lane and can't grab the line right at all, which is not in line with this version of the bottom lane idea.
In other words, even if this Lucian is used by Jack, there is a high probability that he will not have much advantage in the lower lane.
No matter how you calculate it, it's a loss.
The white crescent knew that he had taken it for granted, and originally planned to dig a pit for WE, but he didn't expect to be moved by the red rice bucket, so that he would lie down in the pit.
This red rice is so fierce? White Crescent didn't expect the opposite coach to respond perfectly in such a short period of time.
Either the unpredictable prophet has prepared for this routine in advance, or the on-the-spot adaptability is strong.
Whatever the reason, it reflects Redmi's excellent coaching level, and the white crescent moon is quite admired.
"Is Lulu and Clockwork okay?" The white crescent asked his teammates.
“…… Ruiz, their lineup team battle did not break out, Ruiz is very easy to play. Lin Ran thought for a moment and replied.
The white crescent moon thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement, so that YM switched the lineup, and Qinggang Shadow + Ruiz obviously wanted to play 131 points.
"WE's last choice is for mystic to get the female policeman, and they still have to fight the late-stage team battles that they are good at around their brother-in-law!"
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue YM: Top laner Green Steel Shadow, Jungler Blind Monk, Mid laner Ruiz, bottom laner Lucian + Lulu.
Red side WE: Top Single Caution, Jungle Mantis, Middle Single Karma, Bottom Road Policewoman + Hammerstone.
The live broadcast room of the event is rapidly gaining popularity, and many spectators are pouring in to watch this battle of the spotlight, including passers-by who simply want to watch the exciting game, fans who support both teams, and many people who want to see how YM loses this game.
There are always people who don't like a team, and they don't even need any reason.
