199: Spring Season Kicks Off, Come on IG!
[Have you run out of Brother Ran? Give it back to me]
[No, this is just the second drill, give me two more days to cool off]
[Hurry up, I'm too slow to score without Brother Ran]
This not-so-right chat took place at the end of December, and the parties were Garlic Wang Ba and Shi Senming.
Since the new rules for the top of the canyon rank were promulgated, professional players are afraid that they will not be able to play in the spring tournament, so they can only play the national server in the offseason.
But at the same time, a large number of professional players, a bunch of unique anchors who want to be famous, and a vast number of directors and crews have deteriorated the ecological environment at the top of the canyon instantly.
Unlike Hanbok, the canyon 'coach' can guess the identities of the other five players in advance through a series of means such as peeping at the screen and adding friends.
This led to an imbalance in the ranking mechanism established by Riot, and the original ten players on both sides were similar in strength, but the unique brother who was banned as a hero would only pull his crotch and mix, and the king of a thousand points directly became a master goalkeeper.
As a result, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides in the top of the canyon, and there is often a situation where the lower road has not yet made a two-piece set, and the upper middle field on the opposite side has already come out of the mountain, and only one set of small skills is enough to kill ADC in seconds.
Uzi fought for two days, and his mentality was shattered, and he wanted Nakaueno not to collapse and develop into a team fight, but this idea did not hold true at all at the top of the canyon.
If you meet, you will do it, as long as you can't die, you will fight to the death, either you collapse or I will blow up the line, and develop peacefully to replenish the army? If it doesn't exist, if you survive, the soldier will be yours, and before that you will have a fight.
In this case, it is also difficult for most professional players to maintain a high win rate.
But Lin Ran is different, except for the crew and actors, no one can block his upward branch.
He relies on his brain to play games, passers-by can't cooperate with the jungler, there is no vision and teammates to protect, and he doesn't push the line to suppress the opponent, so he calculates the time difference between the opponent's hero returning to the line and brushing the jungle to go to other roads.
Although those heroes who were banned were mixed, they knew who their father was, and all the capitation economy was given to Lin Ran to eat, and then let the middle laner roll a big snowball.
Who doesn't like this kind of teammate? In order to score points, the professional brother began to interact with Lin Ran frequently.
As soon as Lin Ran woke up every morning, WeChat was full of double-row invitation messages from professional players, as if he had the rhythm of becoming a courtesan in the e-sports circle.
On the eve of New Year's Day, YM and several people all hit the top of the canyon with the help of Lin Ran, and the rest of the time only needed to play the maintenance bureau, which was easy and comfortable.
In the blink of an eye into 2017, all teams have gathered to train for the LPL Spring Tournament that will start on January 19.
YM's first match was against IG in the same group, and they only had one game in the first week, followed by a long annual break.
But the white crescent is stressful.
Because last season's YM champion coach Han Yi is now the head coach of IG, whether he, a new outsider, can make the management and players trust him, first depends on this opening game.
DOOM is the data analyst he brought, mainly responsible for the daily ranking training of the team members and the discovery of version heroes, while Su Cheng specializes in training materials, which is more inclined to the professional arena.
The three of them met in the training room, agreed on their respective responsibilities, and began to prepare for the opener.
The first thing to do is to study the version.
Riot's basic stat ability as a new hero is average, but when it comes to nerfing and changing map resources, they are forever dripping gods.
With each version change, a large number of poorly adapted teams were eliminated, and then new forces sprung up.
The policewoman can instantly become version T0 by strengthening two points of basic attack power and 5 points of movement speed, and Raven has reduced the frequency of use of Raven after being slashed several times, even if it is TS, a Raven proficient player.
Everything corroborates Jax's statement that the strongest weapon is the patch.
In this case, even if you have a system, you can't do it, unless you can make yourself open a CD-free plug-in, or force the opponent to reduce the intelligence, otherwise you have to honestly adapt to the version.
In terms of heroes, in the S7 preseason, the poodle and the enchantress have been reworked, and the green steel shadow has made a shining debut, consumption, recovery, true damage, displacement, rush, control, ......
All the advantages are combined, and you can also be involved alone in the middle and late stages, which is simply the perfect hero.
The green steel shadow with such a perverted mechanism was slashed twice by his fist as soon as he landed on the server, but he was still strong.
The changes to the jungle are even more noticeable, and they are a top priority for Riot each season.
In addition to the previously mentioned adjustment of the refresh time of the wild area except for the buff monster from 100 seconds to 150 seconds, the red and blue buff's bodyguard son disappeared;
Two new birdies have been added to the Beaked Bird Camp, which has become F6;
And the two gargoyles have now learned to split, and the middle of the big life is promoted to the smallest, which is quite cumbersome to brush.
At the same time, the XP of jungles has also been changed, and the XP provided by the other four jungles when they are cleared for the first time is reduced by 25% except for the double buff.
This change is very important, and now it is still the BUFF+ double camp that can be upgraded to level 3 as usual, but if you want to upgrade to 4, you need to brush all 6 camps.
Analysts and coaches are in full swing analysing the various changes to the new version, and the rest of the YM team is also preparing for the game.
Unlike last year's summer start, this year's team came to the door and asked for a training match with YM.
The white crescent moon was selected from the best, and the teams of EDG, RNG, WE and some LCKs were found for training.
Today's strong heroes in the lower lane are similar to the S6 finals, and they are still consumable supporters, and Liu Qingsong, who is good at hard support, gets fewer training opportunities, and most of the time he is a partner of the prophet and Jack.
After a few days of training, the prophet who is better at matching lanes than Wandering performed well.
The prevalence of consumable assistance allows him not to go to Xiaotian to do linkage, he only needs to transfer the line and push the tower with AD, and at the same time, he does not need to take on the command work, there are two people in the team, Lin Ran and Jack, who can dominate his teammates.
In other words, the Prophet is now a tool man who puts skills in the bottom lane to consume the push line, and has little impact on the entire YM team.
The white crescent moon looked at the training match record with a winning rate of 8% on the whiteboard, and relaxed a little.
His coaching career has been full of ups and downs, S5 won the LPL championship in LGD in the summer, and will participate in the relegation match at OMG next year.
It is self-evident how much pressure there is to coach a team that just won the World Finals last year, and White Crescent is sure that once YM's results slip, he will definitely be violently attacked by crazy fans online.
But now that I look at it, it doesn't seem that difficult, right?
On January 18th, the night before the opening of the Spring Championship, YM held a group meeting.
Su Cheng held a notebook in one hand and a marker in the other, drawing on the whiteboard.
"Xiaotian, pay attention, this version of the wild area experience changes, if you brush the wild, it is very slow to upgrade from level 3 to level 4 now, and the jungler is now level 3 to do things, and it is a good choice to go online gank or anti-wild, especially anti-wild, the income is quite high."
Originally, if you reverse a group of wild monsters, the opponent's jungler can still upgrade 5 groups of wild monsters to level 4, but now it doesn't work, as long as you drop a group of wild monsters, the jungler will not reach level 4.
"According to the third-level route of this version of BUFF-a group of camps-BUFF, that group of jungle camps will be eaten in about 2 minutes and 13 seconds to 17 seconds, and it will take 150 seconds for a group of non-buff monsters to refresh, which means that if the opponent's jungler does not rub the online experience, he needs to refresh the next group of camps in 4 minutes and 43 seconds to upgrade to level 4, and the vacuum period in the middle is equivalent to disconnecting the opponent's jungler."
"So now that carnivorous junglers are quite popular, everyone's primary goal is the same as S6, and they still have to give priority to protecting the jungler for invasion."
"Lin Ran, let's give priority to the red side tomorrow, and then leave the counter position to you, okay?" White Crescent asked negotiously.
He is very different from Hanyi's serious coaching style, and most coaches in China tend to be moderate, the advantage is that the psychological pressure of the players is relatively small, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to supervise and supervise the players.
"Okay, I don't have a problem."
After the S6 finals, Lin Ran's wandering support ability was automatically increased by 3 points, plus the finals, German Cup and training matches, a total of 1,200 points were accumulated, and he invested all of them in version development capabilities.
After defeating SKT with Lucian and the Banner of Command, Lin Ran tasted the sweetness of version development ability, and even if the ability to suppress the line was slightly worse, he could make up for it with various black technologies.
His current stats are as follows:
Supports the ability to walk 89
Version development capability 94
Suppression capacity for the line 91
90 of the ability to develop money
Team battle output ability is 90.
He gradually moved in the direction of the all-round pentagonal warrior.
In the afternoon of the second day, YM everyone took a bus to Shanghai Zhengda Tiandi, the host of this year's Spring Race.
"This location is a bit good......" Xiao Tian looked through the glass window at the Oriental Pearl not far away.
"This year, the league took advantage of the spring breeze of our championship to pull a large amount of sponsorship," Guo Hao said from sitting in the front, "The host venue has been moved from the Hongqiao Performing Arts Center, and there are Aurora Building and the Bund." ”
"This place is quite close to Fudan, only about 10 kilometers," Brother Hao turned his head to look at Lin Ran, "This is convenient for Su Cheng to watch the game." ”
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon after putting on makeup, and everyone returned to the break room to listen to the management's tactical arrangement.
At 4:40, under the guidance of the staff, the YM team members left the lounge with the keyboard and mouse and rushed to the backstage to prepare.
"Would you rather be nervous?" Garlic King Ba looked at the tall Ning opposite him.
"Nervous about what?" Ning Da replied aggressively, "Brother Ran, be careful today, I will arrest you." ”
"Are you inflated now?" Lin Ran smiled and hammered his fist on Ning's body.
"What's the matter, I have rookie and theshy now, one is fiercer than the other, what am I afraid of?"
The slightly chubby broiler was smiling shyly on the side, Lin Ran looked at the plump collagen on both sides of the broiler's cheeks, and controlled the urge to pinch his face.
Theshy on the side had a pair of black-framed glasses under his thick permed hair, and his tall and thin figure was quite similar to his face, and he looked a little indifferent on the outside.
"Hello." Hearing that Yu Shuang, the host of the scene, had begun to warm up, Lin Ran took the initiative to say hello to him.
Theshy turned his head violently, staring at Lin Ran's handsome cheeks, grinning and revealing white flowers, and his smile was extraordinarily bright.
"Mud howling mud howling......" He was a little lame in his Chinese, his face blushed for a moment when he spoke, he looked very shy, theshy stretched out his right hand and shook Lin Ran tightly, and then switched to English, "You played very well in the finals this year, I am your fan." ”
Lin Ran shuddered when he heard this, and felt that he was also cursed by some mysterious power.
However, what surprised him more was that Theshy's personality seemed to be completely different from that cold face.
The royal blue on the side retracted her slender and white arms into her sleeves, covered her mouth and nose with the sleeves and laughed.
The prophet glanced at the royal blue opposite, and his body shrank back imperceptibly.
"Ignore him, prophet, this is a second-degree cripple." Jack joked that he had known Sapphire since he was not playing professionally.
"How do you speak?" Sapphire Blue stepped forward to pinch Jack.
On the other side, Han Yi and the white crescent moon nodded to each other as a greeting, but they didn't say anything.
Compared with the players, the coaches of both sides in this game are the ones with the strongest desire to win.
……
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2017 LPL Spring Tournament ......" The commentary for the opening game is still Doll and Miller. 163
Miller glanced at the players' box, "I just think the YM jersey is quite interesting. ”
The doll couldn't help laughing, "Isn't this black and red team uniform with the blue and white BMW logo a bit inconsistent?" Look at how clean people's IG team uniforms are! ”
The YM fans in the audience also laughed.
BMW finally invested together with the previous financier Belle International, because last year's YM performance in the S6 attracted countless fans, and the influence of the team name is not small, the two sponsors discussed it and decided not to change the team name of YM for the time being.
However, the two sponsors occupied all the positions on the chest of the YM team uniform, leaving basically no room for it, and the color mix and match made the YM team uniform look strange.
"The long offseason is finally over, and from today onwards, we viewers can test how good the teams are after the winter transfer period, and this is also the first 10ban game in the LPL!"
"Explain to the audience who are not familiar with the rules, the two sides first choose the first three heroes from the blue side, and then open the second round of BP, at this time, it becomes the red side bans first, so that the red side still has the last counter position."
"Today's opener was YM's first choice of sides, and they decided to take the red side in the first game, in fact, it was the first time we watched this 10ban mode, and it is not clear whether this version is dominated by the red side or the blue side."
"There are still a lot of highlights in this opening match, IG's new top laner has excellent offensive ability, and Jin Gong has a lot of experience in resisting pressure, which can be said to be a spear and shield duel; The jungler position is a confrontation between former teammates, and the individual strength of the midlaners of the two teams does not need to be talked about......"
The commentators are still chatting, and the BP screen has appeared.
"IG blue side first banned Lucian, this hero has not been weakened after being used by Ran in the finals, and now many of the passers-by are used to hit the unit to restrain the mid-to-late game mage, and the effect is still quite good."
YM blocked the poodle, this hero was redone in version 6.24, Q [Cruel and Ruthless] became an arc-shaped area damage, and the W [War Roar] under the brutal effect also has a 1.5 second uncontrollable effect, which is simply terrifyingly strong.
"Spider Queen...... This is one of the best heroes used by Xiaotian, and the jungler who can do things in the early and middle stages of this version is more popular, firstly, because the attributes of the small dragon and the value of a blood tower have not been weakened, and secondly, because the refresh speed of the wild area is now slow, and the development rhythm of the wild nucleus of the male gun and leopard female has been forced to slow down, and the 150-second wild camp refresh time is too long for them"
"Carnivorous junglers are different, I brush the wild to catch people and then come back to eat wild monsters, and I don't waste time at all."
Miller's argument is well-founded.
YM banned the green steel shadow again, they knew theshy's offensive ability, and it was impossible to put this kind of strong warrior hero on the blue side of IG.
IG left the last position of the first round of bans to the middle laner, and the new version of the Enchantress was blocked, and the reworked Enchantress Q skill clearance efficiency was much higher, and it also belonged to the strong version.
"IG, this is basically a clear card to choose Sindra, and the heroes who can fight against her online have been blocked...... Sure enough, YM won't release her, and Sindra of the broiler still deserves a ban! ”
Han Yi first gave Ning his best blind monk.
"Ice and excavators, you keep an eye on the position of the blind monk!" The White Crescent found that Jack's ice was very spiritual in the two-day training match, and he could find out the position of the opponent's jungler with the help of the pre-game coaching staff in combination with the situation on the field.
In the professional arena, the consequences of exposing the jungler position are very serious, ranging from being alerted by the enemy's online heroes to being unable to gank, or being countered and stealing various neutral resources.
Coupled with an excavator with terraohearing, the white crescent moon is to press Ning, so that he has no rhythm at all.
This version of the jungler is used as a rhythm engine, and once the position is guessed, then YM is much more comfortable in the early stage.
IG chose the double C combination of Ruiz + Ash, and the combat effectiveness in the medium term is quite strong.
YM's third pick took Zyra as a support.
The second round of BP begins.
"Ban Nami first, they should be targeting the hero pool of the top order!" White Crescent adjusted the position of the headphones, and he planned to find trouble with the opposite auxiliary Sapphire Blue in the second round.
As he guessed, Han Yi sent the Titans to the ban position, and after the preseason version update, the top laner returned to the era of the reign of the phantom gods such as the Titans and Big Trees.
"YM bans Karma in the end, and IG bans the tree," Miller glanced at the bans on both sides, "YM is missing two positions now, and IG is the top assistant." ”
"Let's take Jace first, we can swing up and down, so that Jin Gong is not afraid of being restrained." Lin Ran proposed.
The white crescent moon thought for a moment, and decided to follow Lin Ran's advice and take a line power hero Jace first.
"theshy chose Rambo, and Sapphire won Tam, IG Ash, Ryze and Rambo, the three short-legged heroes need Tamm's protection very much!" The doll amplifies the volume.
In the last counter of YM, a man in a cowboy hat appears in the Prophet's selection box, Card Master Trist!
"That Jace is for Jingong, Ran takes the card and goes to the middle, but the card against this version of Ruiz is not dominant, let's see how Ran is going to deal with this situation!"
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue IG: Top laner Rambo [TS], Jungler Blind Monk [Ning], mid laner Ruiz [Broiler], Lower Lane Ember [Child Wandering God] and Tamu [Sapphire Blue Megan].
Red: Top laner Jace [Golden Gong], Jungler Excavator [tian], mid laner card [Lin Ran], bottom lane ice [JKL], and Zyra [Prophet].
"Be sure to keep an eye on the opposite jungler and try to roll the snowball up in the early stage." The white crescent moon finally instructed, took off the headphones and shook hands with Han Yi.
The two coaches looked at each other before leaving the field.
As they entered the Summoner's Rift, the audience erupted in deafening cheers.
YM cheers kept echoing in the stadium!
The headphones can't isolate the continuous cheering sound, and the broiler is a little pantothenic.
When will he be satisfied if he can have so many fans.
Lin Ran looked at the lineups of both sides and felt that his own chances of winning this game were not small.
He has been studying BP since he started playing professionally, and he has been tirelessly absorbing knowledge, and after the whole lineup was selected, Lin Ran reviewed it from God's perspective, and he could feel that Hanyi's BP was a little problematic.
At first glance, IG's lineup is very strong, there is no shortage of first hand control and team battle output, Rambo and Ember can divide the battlefield, and Tamu can also protect his teammates well.
But Han Yi ignored the alignment.
This version of Tamu is to give up the right to go down the route by default, and the combination of Ember + Tamu can only shrink under the tower for the rest of his life without looking at the player's ID when he hits Cold Ice + Zyra.
As a result, most of Tamu's early ultimate is wasted - once he uses his ultimate Abyss Submarine to support his teammates, it is very likely that the next tower will be directly destroyed.
And the card in the middle lane is under pressure to play Ruiz, but if the card only pushes the line, Ruiz can't control it.
Once Lin Ran seized the opportunity, it is the best choice to wander on the road to catch the non-displacement Rambo.
The card's ultimate teleportation range is 5,500 yards, and the Rze's first-level R [Warp Realm Leap] is only 1,500 yards, so there is no need to talk about who can be the first to rush to the road.
If Rambo is caught dead too many times on the road, Jace can take over the game in the middle of the game, and IG will not be able to drag the team to play head-to-head at all.
In other words, Hanyi's BP is too idealistic.
……
Lin Ran bought the Dolan Ring online, he brought a flash teleportation, and the broiler was a flash purification.
Ruiz before the third level is basically unable to brush off two layers of rune energy to obtain a shield, which means that Ruize's fighting ability is not strong.
The broiler also knows this, he knows that Lin Ran's laning strength is not bad, and it is basically impossible to kill alone in the early stage, so he simply develops peacefully with Lin Ran.
2 minutes and 31 seconds, the YM lower lane that pushed the line was the first to reach 2.
"Xiao Yu, I will press two steps forward, and I can see his double buff camp at the same time!" Jack didn't throw the drone at the first time when he reached level 2, and he didn't push deep enough now, and a little further forward was the perfect opportunity.
The child and Baolan didn't want to fight for blood when they took this combination of the lower road, and when they saw Han Bing swaggering forward, they immediately retreated to the bottom of the tower.
Jack adjusts the angle and shoots an eagle into the air.
The drone under the skin of the source plan crossed the sky, saw the empty red BUFF and the three wolves, and finally caught the blind monk who was eating blue in the upper half, and the blue BUFF blood volume that was pulled into the grass was still very healthy.
"The blind monk has been illuminated, and this brush field movement is already in YM's hands......
Jin Gong, who pressed the line, discovered the position of the blind monk and was just about to retreat when he heard Xiaotian's call.
"He's going to beat this demon swamp frog, come and help me!"
Jin Gong, who was bent on sacrificing for the team, did not hesitate and decisively began to push the line, preparing to go to the wild area.
"Xiao Tian's move is to catch the blind monk on the opposite side, Jin Gong helped to hit the red BUFF twice at the beginning, Xiao Tian is to eat three groups of wild monsters in the upper half of the wild area, plus the range damage of the excavator's Q skill, his brush speed is faster than that of Ning Ning, who opened alone!"
"It's not that fast, it's not that fast, is it?" Miller saw that the blind monk had knocked out the Demon Swamp Frog's blood when Xiao Tian crossed the river.13 felt a little inexplicable, "The red and blue brushed by the blind monk are all single wild monsters, so it shouldn't be slow to brush?" ”
"And Ning's state is a little poor, the output of the demon swamp frog is not low, and the blind monk only has 23 HP!"
Lin Ran also drew a red card at this time and prepared to quickly push the line to stop the broiler from entering the wild area.
Theshy saw Jace speed up the line push, and he was extremely talented, and he instantly reacted to what YM wanted to do.
He was anxious, pinging signals on the minimap, and then muttering a bunch of Korean - his current Chinese level is still at the level of hello and thank you, and he can't express himself in Chinese in time.
The broiler hurriedly read theshy's words in his head, and then translated them to Ning, but this efficiency was too slow, and it was not as fast as signal communication.
Ning was stunned for a moment when he saw the warning signal, failed to react at the first time, and then wanted to retreat.
But it was too late.
Xiao Tian drilled a tunnel through the wall above the side of the demon swamp frog, and picked up the blind monk who couldn't react, and the sharp claws in his hands tore Ning's wound fiercely, Jin Gong flashed at the same time to close the distance, and EQ bombarded the blind monk who was knocked away!
The punishment on Ning's body was handed over when he played the blue BUFF, and this version will only turn to the next punishment in 3 minutes and 15 seconds, and he has no means to recover blood at this time!
Touching his eyes and crossing the wall wanted to run, but Xiao Tian decisively flashed over the wall, and the true damage of a red angry E killed the blind monk!
"Ning died without even handing it over in a flash, this wave is too hurtful!"
"Go straight to the Etsu road, I can get there!" Lin Ran used a red card to retreat from the line, and after being beaten by a broiler, he immediately knocked off the blood bottle and retreated to the tower.
"Come on, come on!" Jin Gong was very excited, at this time, there were still four soldiers under the theshy tower that had not been cleared, and Xiao Tian had just flashed over the wall to kill the blind monk, and he was in the middle of the first and second towers on the IG road, and he could completely cross the tower!
"Is YM crazy? The card is only level 3 and you have to cross the tower with your teammates? Miller shouted in disbelief as he looked at the teleportation light that lit up in front of the tower on IG.
The broiler took two steps forward and found that Lin Ran's position behind him was too deep, and he didn't have time to interrupt at all!
Lin Ran teleported to the anti-tower creep, allowing it to avoid damage from the tower during this time.
Theshy is attacked on the back of the abdomen, where can a Rambo go?
He wanted to operate, but Lin Ran raised his hand on the ground and it was a yellow card, and Rambo, who was fixed, had no power to resist!
Xiao Tian lifted it up and continued to control it, and then Jin Gong opened the cannon form W [Super Charge], switched the hammer form, and smashed a set of skills on Rambo's face!
Theshy threw out the harpoon before he died, wanting to replace Lin Ran who was fighting the tower, but Lin Ran decisively flashed out of the tower, and while pulling away the hatred of the defense tower, he also dodged the harpoon, and escaped with blood!
"Perfect cross tower fit! YM's set of tower crossing operation is too skillful! theshy can't do it! The doll exclaimed.
The broiler in the middle can only empty the blue amount and push the line out.
He regretted it extremely much at this time, why was he afraid that Nakano on the other side brought a purification, if he also brought a teleportation, the ending would be completely different!
