Chapter Fifty-Seven: It's a Good Brother
MSI's first day ended with a big win in the LCK and LPL.
The LCK didn't do anything ruthless, it was just plain powerful.
Although SKT Xiaohei is a short board among the world's top teams.
But against an overwhelming majority of teams, it's still completely sufficient.
In particular, the individual strength of other teammates has created excellent space for him to play.
Three-line to line is an advantage, and the jungler is naturally comfortable to play casually.
Especially when the duke, which is often used to resist pressure on the road, has been replaced with Smeb, who is based on the dominance of the lane, in a way, he is more comfortable playing than last year.
Sometimes you don't need much help, and a single point will give people a breakthrough.
After overcoming his demons and winning the title last year, his dominance was on full display.
Especially after getting a hero like Jace, he often can't fight on the right line.
At this time, many viewers will suddenly discover that Chen Tianxiang's two orders have one thing in common.
That is, Chen Tianxiang played a very good hero, and his top list must have played very well.
For example, Smeb's Jace, flandre's Gransteel, and even more so the hero pool that the two of them share, Rambo.
Flandre is clear about why.
Why, someone forcibly caught the special training, why else?
Chen Tianxiang likes to catch people and practice alignment when he has nothing to do, so as to ensure the alignment of both sides.
And to practice the right line, you can't always catch the jungler and support to practice, right? The environment on the lower road is also different.
The most convenient, of course, is to catch your own order.
"Tomorrow I will be able to catch Smeb for the first time in an official competition, ah, I'm so excited."
Peanut in the hotel stretched his waist and looked forward to tomorrow's game.
"Let's train Brother SMEB in the military, I always feel that he is super easy to catch."
Obviously, when the outside world was bragging about Smeb's strength, peanut, as Smeb's last jungler, had a lot of opinions about his frequent capture.
Indeed, in the previous ROX, Smeb dropped the chain a lot of times.
However, this is actually a common problem with offensive top laners.
The upper route is long, and there is only one person, unlike the lower road with assistance to do the view.
And sometimes a little problem can lead to a terrible line and you have to be in a very dangerous position.
This forms a situation where the more fierce the pressure is, the easier it is to catch.
The same is true for SMEB.
"Ah, Xiba, as long as you don't go all the way up, it's fine." IMP expressed his opinion.
He didn't want Ming, a good brother who was still in the seedling stage, to eventually grow into the appearance of Xihachimata.
"You said bad things about Brother Jing Hao behind your back, you were careful of being caught by him, that guy has been working out recently." Chen Tianxiang joked.
"Ah, I'm just telling the truth, when I was playing, I always had to help him squat, which made me have a lot less opportunities to help Brother Tianxiang, so you should support me!"
Peanut tilted his head slightly, and said something tea-tea-like.
"Okay, Brother Prospect Hao, the number of loss line gangs is definitely the most in the whole LCK, almost." Chen Tianxiang waved his hand, this kid is cheap and behaved, it is completely unreasonable.
But it's weird to say, others may seem very contrived when they say such things, but when they come out of the mouth of a little peanut, it doesn't seem so annoying.
It looks harmless to humans and animals, and sometimes it is really useful.
A few frolicking times.
Flandre, who used to be the most talkative, seemed a little silent.
Obviously, he's under a lot of pressure.
Although his training record was not bad, his performance against Smeb was actually just that.
Maybe before, he would have thought.
It's a Grand Slam, it's the world's No. 1 singler, and it's already good that I can have such a performance.
However, now they have all come here on behalf of the region.
Then, since you become a champion, you have to become the number one in the world.
Moreover, it is also the top order of Handyman and Peanut.
Just like people will always subconsciously compare their predecessors with their current ones, his and Semb's performance will definitely be the focus of public opinion.
The pressure is like sand in the sky.
There is nowhere to hide, even if he desperately blocks it, he is finally drowned and buried through the cracks.
Can't breathe, can't do anything.
"Let's play hard tomorrow, I know it's impossible to say that there is no pressure, but in fact, the pressure on the other side is not small." Chen Tianxiang saw Flandre's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder.
"Alas, I feel like I know I can't be nervous, but I can't help it. Am I mentally poor? β
Flandre sighed, he had given himself a lot of psychological hints to not be nervous, but sometimes, people's state of mind is not something you can be open-minded if you want to.
"It's normal, in fact, you are already a big heart, let me tell you quietly, smeb's hanging man, his mentality was much worse than you at the beginning."
Chen Tianxiang is not lying, and Smeb is not born to be a champion.
"When he played the spring duel with SKT last year, his hands were shaking all the time." Chen Tianxiang whispered about Smeb's troubles.
"Especially when ROX was scored two points first by SKT, his nervous voice was floating, don't believe you ask Wanghu."
Peanut on the side was slightly stunned, and after the translator in his brain was slightly processed, he laughed excitedly, "Hahaha, I also caught you talking bad about Brother Jing Hao, and now it's flat." β
"But ah, every time Brother smeb played SKT before, he couldn't sleep, I know that." peanut said, "And, ah, I heard Brother Pray say before that when Brother Smeb was in S5, it was even more serious, and when he heard marin's ID, everyone had to be wrong, like a stress reaction." β
"Well, but now he's a member of the SKT team." Flandre knew that the two of them were comforting themselves, and he felt a lot better.
"However, he chose to join SKT after beating SKT, and if he hadn't beaten it, SKT would definitely not have joined." Chen Tianxiang said, "He used to be so afraid of SKT, but it didn't delay him to win SKT!" β
"When people face a strong enemy, they will be nervous and afraid, this is something that cannot be controlled, but what you can control is whether you retreat or move forward in the face of a strong enemy. As long as you find that you can win once or twice, there's nothing to fear. β
"As a college student, speaking is a standard." Flandre grinned, though it was clear that he was pouring himself mental chicken soup.
But if you drink it, you will understand that it works and it really works.
"Hahaha, I think Brother Smeb is also nervous and can't sleep now." Peanut laughed.
"Then let's talk about some things to fight with SKT tomorrow." Zhu Kai clapped his hands and started tomorrow's pre-game meeting with the atmosphere.
In the previous group chat of the Tigers, tonight was particularly lively.
After all, the teammates on both sides are going to face each other head-to-head at MSI, which is naturally very lively.
Smeb: [Tomorrow you two newborns won't keep messing with me, will you?] γ
Peanut: [Hee-hee. γ
Handyman: [What's the use of you?] γ
Smeb: [Not really coming?] γ
Handyman: [My boss said he could break through you alone. γ
Smeb: [Hehe, you want to fool me, right? γ
Smeb: [I don't believe a word of your words, Tianxiang, I know you too well, your heart is dirtier than the water of the Ganges. γ
Handyman: [Why am I lying to you?] It's better to help Brother IMP if you arrest you. γ
Handyman: [When I was at ROX before, I didn't run much on the road, so what's the use of going on the road?] γ
Peaunt: [Hee-hee, indeed.] γ
Kuro: [I support Tianxiang and Wanghu to kill Jing Hao, you traitor who joined SKT!] γ
SmebοΌγοΌ Didn't you all support me to go to SKT in the first place? γ
Pray: [It's all brothers, two opposite, only one on your side, and four old enemies, there's no way.] γ
Smeb scratched his head, feeling his status within the brothers, is there something wrong?
GorillA: [Jing Hao, if I have to choose, I still support Tianxiang.] γ
The old captain of ROX was also bubbling at the moment.
Hojin: [Mainly, this kid Jing Hao, sometimes it's really annoying, a little too pretending, the last time we met, I told him that he was the world's No. 1 list.] γ
Hojin: [Let's catch this kid tomorrow!] γ
Senji: [Ah, I also decided to support Snake because Sister Chen is so cute, so I support Tianxiang. γ
Smeb: [Hehe, my Sanghyuk won't do anything. γ
Peaunt: [Hee-hee. γ
Handyman: "I don't catch rookies. γ
In the past, the brothers of the Tigers were still used to blowing water in the group before the game, and they made small jokes that might be too much without pressure.
Although they are now on different teams and positions.
But it still can't change the friendship that they have from poor boys to the pinnacle together.
Following.
Today's most talked-about match is obviously the first meeting between the LCK and LPL in this edition of MSI.
In the eyes of the vast majority of viewers around the world, the championship battle of this year's MSI is actually a battle between the two teams, Snake and SKT.
Both teams were super strong teams that won the championship 3-0 in their own divisions.
There are superstars on both sides.
The discussion about who is stronger of the two teams is also a hot topic in this MSI before the start of this MSI.
And the excellent performance of the two teams on the first day of MSI has brought this topic to the extreme.
"Okay, today we're going to explain the game, hello everyone, I'm Kuro."
In the two-way commentary.
Kuro bowed to the screen with some restraint.
And sitting on one side is Goriila.
"Hi, I'm Gorilla."
Because there were their old teammates on both sides, and the two of them happened to be admitted to MSI, they took an early vacation.
So there was nothing to do, so I came to the second way of commentary.
As old teammates with a good relationship, they can say something that other commentators can't say, a little excessive.
At the same time, you may also know some inside information.
"Who do we support?"
"Well, Brother Kuro is supporting Tianxiang and Wanghu." Gorilla divides the work according to the pre-arranged words. "As for me, I'm in favor of Smeb, but who's for two hundred years"
"Because, Smeb always steals my snacks, so I'm annoyed with this kid."
The two also learned some skills about live broadcast from the live broadcast ghost Chen Tianxiang, and deliberately divided the positions of the two sides.
This makes the show seem better, and when you help Snake speak, it is not easy to be rushed.
"Oh, the BP on both sides has begun."
"Tianxiang seems to have been saying something, and his mouth has been moving."
"Ah, he's always like that, after all, when we used to play, he kept talking."
The two of them looked at the picture and remembered the past.
"Yes, what Tianxiang said, in fact, has a great impact on our BP, sometimes it feels like it has a greater impact than the coach, and now I don't know if it's still not like this when it comes to Snake."
"It should be, before Wanghu said that Tianxiang's status in the team is the same as that of the manager."
"Well, can you understand what he seems to be saying to Shangshan all the time? Eh, is it telling him some bad habits when smeb is on the line? β
"I think this kind of thing should have been said before the game, right? It should be said that it is, let the road be steady, and wait for them to wrap up the C, he used to say that. Gorilla laughed.
"Ah, I don't know, after all, when Tianxiang was on the sky, I was sitting on the water dispenser, and what I heard the most was that he had been a hypnotist since the lounge." Kuro smiled, "Just, like a mosquito before, I would keep repeating it in Jing Hao's ears." β
"That, [you're the world's No. 1 topper, you're the world's No. 1 topper], right?" Goriila laughed. "Therefore, since Jing Hao won the championship, he has claimed to be the culprit of the world's No. 1 single, Tianxiang!"
In the past, every time Smeb was nervous, Chen Tianxiang would keep repeating this sentence in his ear, giving him hypnotic in disguise.
"Ah, if you say this, will Jing Hao feel that it is very shameless to let others know that he is comforted and hypnotized by his juniors, and he has a heavy burden."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, he used to steal my snacks, he will definitely pay the price, yesterday he asked Wanghu and Tianxiang in the group if they would arrest him."
"Hahaha, it's a bit too much, ah, BP, is it really the first Qinggang Shadow? It's not very good, Snake's side, Flandre's Green Steel Shadow is playing very well, but this version. It's not too good for the line. β
In the cheerful chit-chat between the two former old ROX players.
The field has entered the BP link.
Unexpectedly, the blue side chose this version first, and the blue steel shadow was much weakened in the early stage of the alignment.
"Then it feels like SKT can directly produce Jace, Jace's version should be good to play the green steel shadow."
With Smeb's laning strength, even if you are strong, then the green steel shadow will definitely be crushed if he goes to fight Jace.
"But in fact, the Qinggang shadow line is a little uncomfortable, but with that kind of strong rhythm jungler, it's actually very good to catch Jace."
"However, I listened to Tianxiang, he didn't plan to catch the road." Kuro touched his chin and thought.
"You believe Tianxiang's words, and you're too drunk, right?" Even the famous honest man Gorilla understands that in this kind of matter, Chen Tianxiang can't believe half a word.
At this moment, the camera showed Smeb, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Although it has only been rumored by the outside world, playing Jace opposite Chen Tianxiang must not end well.
However, Smeb doesn't believe in that evil.
After smiling at Kooma, he decisively chose Jace.
Although Jace has room for Nakano to swing.
But Faker's Jace, proficiency is actually a bit of a pity.
It's not that he's rubbish, it's just that it's a notch worse than his mage.
And SMEB is a famous Jace good hand, and this hand is almost certainly SMEB's Jace.
"Oh, Jing Hao is here, Jace!"
"Our Tigers' classic Jace! He used to like to use Jace and Intertek SOLO. β
"Well, the ending."
The two old Deng looked at the curious question on the screen and laughed as an answer.
BP continues.
It looks like it's business as usual.
Until, on the fifth floor, Kenan was locked almost instantaneously.
"Ahh Where is this Kennan? β
"My God, this blue steel shadow looks like it should be peanut!"
This version of Kenan is the absolute hit hero.
According to common sense, right and wrong ban must be chosen.
But because of the first round, the opposite side first snatched the green steel shadow that Snake used intensively in the league.
On the third floor, Galio was also taken.
SKT, who has studied Snake quite well, almost assumes that this will be a hero to use to carry out their single-belt strategy.
Therefore, in the second round, he chose to ban the Spider and the Leopard Girl, two peanut signature AP rhythm junglers, and snatched them on the fourth floor of the red side, "for the so-called system", one of the important components of the Demacia Prince.
And let go of Kenan, who was originally not a mandatory choice.
But no one expected that Snake would suddenly take Kenan from behind.
This made Smeb's brow furrow.
I realized that something was wrong.
It's so familiar, and the newborn feeling is coming.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue Snake: Kenan, Camille, Galio, Verus, Karma.
Red side SKT: Jace, Prince, Clockwork, Ash, Bron.
"Jungle Green Steel Shadow, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the first time Wanghu has played in the game, I haven't played him before, I didn't expect to have this hand."
Kuro was a little surprised, he had already checked all the game information he could find, and he didn't find any record of using the Blue Steel Shadow jungler in question.
Actually, the Qinggang Shadow Jungler is not a new thing.
At the beginning, some people tried to use it in various regions, because in the rank, Qinggang Shadow's retention skill was really useful.
But the efficiency of the green steel shadow brush is too slow.
The rhythm of the game is much slower than that in the regular rank, and the players are much more stable than in the rank.
Therefore, the efficiency of arresting people has been greatly reduced.
And if the Qinggang Shadow Jungler can't get up to the rhythm, the effect will be too poor.
First of all, Qinggang Shadow is a hero who eats rank and development, and he is a bit similar to Jax's development curve.
It's a hero who needs two or even three pieces to get back into a team fight.
And if the jungler can't catch people, the development and level are even worse than the regular jungler, and the group will even kick it in, and then die at the speed of light.
What's more important is that the jungle Qinggang Shadow can't give full play to the biggest advantage of the hero of Qinggang Shadow, that is, the extremely strong single-belt ability.
There is no way to lead a line in the jungler.
As for the rhythm, it seems that the blind monk and the prince are both high-level substitutes who can become the jungler Qinggang Shadow.
Therefore, gradually, the Jungle Green Steel Shadow was abandoned by the professional competition venue and was regarded by everyone as a version trap.
In particular, many people also said that "a strong-paced team like snake doesn't play Wild Green Steel Shadow, and this thing doesn't play hooks".
This hero is too demanding on the rhythm.
What team's Nakano is the most rhythmic?
It used to be Rox, now it's Snake.
If there is only one team in the world of 2017, there is only one team suitable for playing Jungle Green Steel Shadow.
That has to be, Snake.
Snake doesn't play, there's definitely something wrong with this thing.
But in fact, if you analyze it carefully, Snake doesn't play it at all because he feels that the Jungle Green Steel Shadow Pure version is a trap.
I didn't give them a chance to play at all.
In fact, when Snake first appeared, except for flandre, under the urging of Chen Tianxiang, he began to practice Qinggang Shadow.
Peanut has also been quietly practicing the green steel shadow.
But once the previous two Snakes were handed over to the road to play once they got the Qinggang Shadow.
Later, Qinggang Ying even bought a house on the ban position of Snake.
It wasn't until the playoffs that Qinggang Shadow was stabbed and released.
But in the whole BO5, I played a green steel shadow for Flandre.
Peanut never had the opportunity to use the Shadow of the Green Steel.
Finally waited for today.
Semb shook his head and smiled bitterly, Peanut, this kid has learned very well with Chen Tianxiang.
Hide the Jungler Qinggang Shadow of the Spring Tournament for a whole year, just keep it to fight brothers, right, it's really yours, Han Wanghu.
Double anti-dumping officially entered the game.
The two sides are in regular swings.
SKT didn't rely on Bron and Ash's strong force to force their way into the opposite jungle.
Because of this one, changing the jungle area is not a good thing.
Varus and Karma faced Ehibulon, and the front must have been put in front.
Even if the prince opens in the lower half, Bronn is not easy to cooperate with the jungler to cross the towers of Karma and Varus, but instead forces the green steel shadow to the upper half, which will make Jace and uncomfortable.
So Ash and Bron just poked inside.
After leaving an eye in the red zone opposite, retreat honestly.
Smeb, on the other hand, is looking at the time, ready to go to the opposite field to see the movement of peanut.
But he didn't expect it.
How amazing the two good brothers are.
In the lower lane of SKT Nakano, when four people huddled into the lower half of the area to do the eye.
The green steel shadow came to the middle of the river grass in advance and hid, leaving Flandre to watch at the blue buff.
And Chen Tianxiang has been standing on the blue buff for the explosion fruit waiting.
Smeb is stuck in the time when the monster is born.
Under common sense in the middle of this time period, it is impossible to squat in the wild area for so long.
Because the middle route is short, the line of troops will converge faster than the top lane, if it is really pulled in the wild area.
The midlaner loses at least three melees.
Even faker is a little more desperate, and coming directly to the intersection to get the card position will make him lose more.
And Qinggang Shadow itself is slow to farm, and it should be ready to fight the jungle as soon as possible.
However, these two people are too nascent.
They know too well the habits of SMEB.
Knowing that this kind of pressure is very high, he will definitely come in and look for Peanut's location.
He didn't believe that if Peanut said that if he didn't arrest him, he really wouldn't arrest him.
When Flandre, who was crouching in the grass, saw Jace walk in and glance.
Peanut and Chen Tianxiang couldn't help but sigh.
Really! This is a brother!
Then the green steel shadow walked out of the grass.
Chen Tianxiang A dropped the explosive fruit over the wall and fell from the sky.
Kennan also walked out from the front.
"Assi."
SMEB scolded and instantly called out for being fooled.
Hurriedly Xue E put an acceleration gate at his feet and fled into the distance.
But in the blind spot of vision, the green steel shadow suddenly kicked out.
Stun Smeb's Jace.
And Chen Tianxiang charged up the shield of Dulang.
W is connected to the control.
And Kenan also went crazy to output AQA and hit the thunder.
Thankfully, this one is only Kennan, not a fighter who can continue to connect and control.
After the first-level SMEB was killed by the speed of light, almost seventy percent of its HP, the embarrassed cross-flashing widened the distance.
Of course, Qinggang Shadow also delayed the brushing time for a few seconds, and at the same time exposed his brushing movements.
Chen Tianxiang also lost three melee soldiers, and after returning to the line, because of the first-level W, he could only shrink behind his back and eat experience, and his life was not very comfortable.
But you can get by.
He didn't lose blood, he didn't flash it, he was bound to be pressed, and the soldier line was pressed in, and he could also put a wave of princes to catch the second level.
When the line is pushed back, it is actually a matter of losing a few knives.
Galio lost a few knives, and it didn't hurt.
But it's hard to get on the road, brother.
SMEB is a little too bad to play the game.
Being dodged is still secondary, mainly because he has lost too much blood, and he still has a bottle of medicine on his body when he goes out, and he has half blood after drinking it.
In particular, the scan of the green steel shadow quickly removed the eye position he left.
It left him completely blind.
He knew that the green steel shadow was in the upper half, but he didn't know Peanut's movements.
This made him extremely stressed, and he could only shrink behind the line to eat experience at the first level.
Smeb is numb.
He only knew that Chen Tianxiang's words could not be believed.
Unexpectedly, the "don't catch the road" in his mouth looks like this.
"Don't hesitate to lose the soldiers, waste the time to brush the field, you have to get him. Like the relationship between the three brothers of Rox Kaminakano, there will probably not be any more. β
The two old teammates, thinking of the conversation in the group yesterday, couldn't hold back for a while and laughed.
