Chapter 220: A Look Back at History

If the ruler of the early and middle S1 years was North America, the founder of the game, then Europe took the position of ruler from North America in the late S1 period. As the birthplace of LOL, North America was the first to "formulate" a system at that time, and it was also the first system in LOL. That is the ADC single line, the other AP single line, the lower lane auxiliary plus half meat, and the jungler half meat.

This pattern seems incredible now, but admittedly, it was the best and most commonly used routine at the time. This routine, known as "ROAM", almost all teams in North America use this routine to play games, maybe you think the policewoman + hammerstone is very powerful, then I can sue you, Galen + gem at that time, there is no solution. HotshotGG was the most brilliant top laner at the time, and many people knew him because of his leopard girl, but in fact, his leopard girl appearance rate was very low, and in the game, his most used top laner was actually a crow. ROAM has ruled LOL for more than half a year, and while the North American comic is still complacent about enjoying the scenery of Los Angeles at 4 o'clock in the morning, everyone knows that the pattern is quietly changing. It was the Europeans who ruled the S2 season to its demise that drove ROAM to its demise.

In the S1 Finals (Dreamhack), there were 3 teams from North America who came to the end, namely Teamsolomid (TSM), CounterLogicGaming (CLGNA) and EG (EpikGaming), and it was indeed surprising that EG reached the finals as a dark horse. But as TSM and CLGNA, which have the largest number of fans in the world, the champion and runner-up are destined to be produced in North America.

They use ROAM as always, and even the support is always on the way with the jungler. If you think that the M5's double tour at IEM Kiev Station has blinded you, then at that time, Regi and Xpecil's bull head + machine qì people walked down the road, crows on the single, and Meng Duo in the single, which will surprise you even more.

S1 became ROAM's last swan song, and the confident North American was easily defeated by Fnatic, the king of Europe at the time, and even the runner-up. It was also won by the French team AaA. The North American team lost in S1 in a mess. And Fnatic, who defeated them, came up with a new system to the world, which is also a system that has continued to the present, and I believe everyone has heard its name.

"EU stream."

Fnatic used the single and double AP in the top single to educate CLG and TSM fiercely. Auxiliary and ADC go down the road to play money. And the jungler. can develop more happily. As it turned out, this system was indeed more suitable for LOL, and the S1 Finals was seen by many as the beginning of the decline of North America. But beyond that, it was also the beginning of a new world.

EU stream, CLG opens the door to a new world:

Someone once said that the weakening in WOW is like a flood, regardless of whether it is friend or foe, cut it all, and the weakening in LOL is a whack-a-mole-style weakening, whoever is strong, I will cut whomever I want. If you carefully analyze the patches from the beginning of S2 to the present, you will find that a lot of the patch content is a fist slapping itself in the face.

After S1, the EU stream began to gradually become popular. But no one is perfect, and it's the same for games, and the biggest shortcomings of the EU stream are slowly exposed. That's too slow. Friends who have watched the CLGEU game must know this kind of pain, when a 50-minute game has less than 10 heads, the most crazy thing must be the audience in front of the computer.

At that time, the European game can be summed up in a complete timeline. Sending troops → peasant soldiers→ Dalong → a wave of GG. Among them, the time of the peasants and soldiers accounts for two-thirds, and no one wants to watch such a game.

As the most determined executor of the EU stream, and the most powerful executor, CLGEU was the nightmare of all teams at that time, they did not rely on online ability, did not rely on tower pushing ability, and fought for the big late team battle, which you can see from the heroes that Froggen is good at. Ice Bird, Death Song, and even Lux are all the core heroes of the late team fight.

When CLGEU just made a little progress, the ROAM market was not yet fully occupied, and everyone preferred to believe that CLGEU was a short-lived dream, after all, there were really too many fans of the North American team. Froggen then proved to the world that the EU stream is tough and elevated CLGEU to the top of the world's top teams. Because they defeated the undefeated myth M5.

"Alex can't be a threat to me when he's on the line."

"No one can stop me from Farm."

"North America is dead, there is something to burn paper."

The above three sentences are a complete summary of the situation at that time, and Froggen at that time was qualified and would definitely say so. At that time, the Chinese people who had just woken up from a dream only to find out that Anne of Ruofeng could kill Bigfatjj, but not Froggen.

If Alex is the sharpest spear and can stab you at any time, then Froggen is undoubtedly the thickest shield, he may not hit you, but you will have a hard time hurting him. CLGEU is like a virus that is constantly breeding, Ice Bird, Knife Girl, Scorpion, these heroes they are good at, are the source of the virus, it is very weak at the beginning, but when it breeds more, it will become very tricky, and when you can't cut off their source in the early stage, it will be slowly eaten away in the end.

In this way, CLGEU and M5 became the favorites to win the S2 Finals, while Fnatic, which was on fire at the end of S1, fell into a substitution storm and was almost inactive throughout the season. At that time, the rhythm of the whole world was in the hands of the Europeans. But history is so interesting, when a dynasty rises to a certain level, there will always be people who will start to oppose it and finally destroy it. And this time, it was the hard-working and simple Asians who opposed him and defeated him.

Before the S2 Finals, Taipei Assassin Star (TPA) had a 16-game losing streak, so many people naturally put him in the same category as the North American comic tour team.

"Don't ask for the best, but want to play well." As Asia, which has the slowest development rate, it is undoubtedly an egg to hit a stone to compare with the Europeans. WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH WE, ALTHOUGH THAT GAME MADE CLGEU A BLACK FOR MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES, I HAVE TO SAY THAT WE WAS STILL GRINDED TO DEATH. The semi-finals ended, CLGEU and M5 undoubtedly advanced, and the remaining two Asian teams, TPA and AzubuFrost, also advanced together, and later someone joked that although they didn't guess the ending, they at least guessed the beginning, and North America was really wiped out.

PS: If it was said that the version was sometimes not right because of the relationship between the saved manuscripts, the saved manuscripts have been slowly lost because of the fact that perfection has been exploding. The current version of the book is really in accordance with the latest version of the hanbok. At the same time, in order to take care of the situation of the national uniform, I will still use the national version to write the competition, but some of the things I talk about are the latest version of Hanbok. At present, the national version is still about 1 month behind Hanbok. (To be continued......)
