Chapter 179: Playing a game of Huni
"Ashiba!"
"This General is too arrogant."
"If I hadn't made it to S6, I would have taught him a lesson!"
SKT team training room.
After practicing for two and a half years and traveling around the EU and NA regions, Huni returned to the LCK during the winter transfer window. When he saw the interview video with translated text, he shouted indignantly.
"Don't be careless." Support player Wolf reminded: "He is indeed very strong. In the finals, we lost to him alone."
"That's you guys, don't take me with you!" Huni was extremely conceited: "I will definitely prove who is the world's number one top laner at this MSI."
“…”
Peanut, who was sitting on the side, blinked, feeling that this sentence was somehow familiar.
I seem to have heard it from a senior.
“It’s good to have confidence.”
Coach KkOma came over and said, "But based on the strength comparison between us and EDG, we don't need to give General a chance. We can just gather the strength of the mid and jungle and kill him directly."
After losing to EDG.
KkOma learned from his mistakes and felt that he had not paid enough attention to the top lane.
Since Faker has the upper hand over Scout, he can feed the advantage in the middle lane back to the jungle, and then target the top laner endlessly to nip the threat in the bud.
As for the bottom lane...
With Bang and Wolf's strength, even if they don't get support, it won't be a big problem.
Even if they were behind by ten or twenty last hits and lost a first blood tower, the loss was still within an acceptable and compensable range.
"I want to fight him head-on."
Huni has been in Europe and the United States for two years. Unlike traditional Korean players, he does not obey his coach's orders.
To this.
KkOma frowned in dissatisfaction.
Thinking of the fact that there was no substitute top laner in the team, he tried hard to hold back the anger that was about to come out of his mouth: "We can't lose to EDG for the third time. We must win the game in the most stable way."
"So, Huni, please don't try to be a hero."
"In a professional league, the most important thing is always the result. Even a victory without any highlights is far better than a hearty defeat."
"Understood." Huni nodded.
Having said that.
It is obviously impossible for Huni to laugh and joke like he does in the European and American regions.
only.
When he agreed, Huni was still very unconvinced.
I became more determined to determine who is better during the laning phase and test my own worth.
Using LPL players to increase his value is something Huni is most familiar with.
…
Lingshi Road, EDG base.
Having just finished a celebration banquet, the team members who were waiting for the logistics staff to process their visas were given half a day off.
but.
There was nothing to do in just half a day.
I walked around outside to relax, then went back to the training room to play Rank.
The factory manager and Scout are in a duo row.
Xing Dao pulled A Shui together to gain points.
Throw Meiko, the original wife, aside.
"Brother Jie, your last sentence was too weak."
After most of the day, Ah Shui was still recalling: "We should do a throat-cutting ceremony, let them clean their necks and wait for death, and then they will look cool right away."
"I didn't actually mean to say wash my neck, but it didn't feel right, so I changed it at the last minute."
Xing Dao sighed: "I wanted to ask them to take a shower. The smell on their bodies is really unbearable. Not only is it smelly, but it also smells like mutton. What's even worse is that they sprayed perfume..."
"Ugh—" Meiko listened to the description and recalled the smell she had smelled before, and she felt visibly nauseous.
"Is it true?" A Shui had never played in a competition abroad, so he didn't know much about it.
"Really, Asia is okay, but the smell of Europeans, except the French, is, wow..." Xing Dao didn't know how to describe it.
"French people don't have body odor?" A Shui was curious.
"No, the French are the only people in Europe who don't have body odor." Xing said seriously.
"Why? That doesn't make sense." A Shui didn't quite understand.
"Body odor is related to sweat glands. If the room is ventilated all year round and exposed to the sun, this problem will not occur," the factory manager explained.
"It's ventilated all year round and still exposed to the sun... Damn! You guys!" Ah Shui was about to question, but suddenly reacted.
"Really? Didn't you notice that there isn't a single French professional player?" Xing Dao queued up and continued to choose Fiora to improve his proficiency.
Although the daily rank increase is very small.
But little by little it adds up.
A little bit of accumulation is also very impressive.
“It seems to be true…”
Ah Shui thought about it seriously, but he really didn't know which player was from France: "Oh, brother Jie, can I use my skateboard shoes to set off a smoke bomb?"
"Yes." Xing Dao nodded: "You don't need to be able to play, and you don't need to choose in the training matches. Just kill casually in the ranked games."
Professional league, training match, and Rank are three levels of difficulty.
Even if a player's skills are mediocre and he is treated as a background or even a joke in major competitions, he can often kill the so-called top players in the Rank.
This is still the case when one is considering the competition, hiding a certain level of strength, and practicing heroes.
With A Shui's talent, even if he is not good at or even doesn't like this special AD hero, Skateboard Shoes, he can still achieve sufficiently brilliant results by spending a little time to familiarize himself with it.
The reason for doing this is to get a ban position.
At this time, Skateboard Shoes is a purely unpopular hero, and even at MSI, basically no team chooses him.
But as the Burning Censer auxiliary flow became popular in the second half of S7, Skateboard Shoes became a must-ban option.
There are three reasons.
The first one is to cooperate with Thresh and be able to pull the opponent back to their own tower from the opponent's half. After level 6, there is basically no possibility of being successfully targeted.
Both suppression and self-protection can be said to have no solution.
The second is to cooperate with Luo. The three controls in team battles are against the sky. When the equipment is completed, no matter which hero is affected by the full amount of knock-up, charm, and continuous knock-up control, there is no possibility of survival.
You know, even the strongest phantom god Galio is as fragile as a piece of paper unless he can use the W skill to reduce damage.
The third one is to cooperate with hard supports, such as Alistar, Diana, and Galio, and kill the censer monsters at random during the laning phase on the basis of double control.
That's right.
It is a random killing during the laning phase.
Instead of the protection provided by the skateboard shoes' ultimate move.
Whenever there is a chance, professional teams will always choose to kill A D first.
Because even if you focus on the support, the opponent's AD has the effect of the censer that lasts for six seconds, which is enough to complete a wave of harvest.
The so-called incense burner monster only exists when there is a disconnection.
Basically non-existent.
Xing Dao won a lot in the summer finals. Besides, Skateboard Shoes is indeed suitable for bullying big and black tank heroes.
A more critical reason is that people don’t want to use it.
Compared to top laners Lucian and Vayne, Skateboard Shoes lacks combat effectiveness in the late game.
The seemingly flexible displacement is full of flaws in the game against the god-equipped opponents.
The attack coefficient of 0.9 makes the damage of skateboard shoes with the same equipment far less than that of critical strike AD.
As long as we cannot resolve the issue quickly, it will become a hidden danger in the team.
In addition, A Shui's thinking in team battles at this time was not clear enough, and he was easily nervous at critical moments. If he made a wrong jump, he would be doomed. Skateboard Shoes was destined to be a hero abandoned by the EDG team.
In order to avoid being at a disadvantage in terms of being banned, the joke of 'Don't practice skateboarding in S7' came into being.
After discussing with Abu and other EDG players, Xing Dao decided to strike first.
——In the spring season, the top laner and AD started using skateboard shoes. The opponent would never dare to use them, right?
"Too insidious. I didn't know that one needs to study so many things before playing a game." Ah Shui clicked his tongue.
"What do you mean by insidious? This is called all is fair in war!" Xing Dao reminded his teammates: "I'm going to start a live broadcast, don't let anything slip."
"OK." The first person to respond was his junior Scout.
"Lican, you are quite good at learning Chinese." Xing Dao was a little surprised.
"Average, average." Scout smiled shyly.
"This is not ordinary. It is crucial to be able to communicate directly." While Xing Dao was talking, he saw the ID on the screen: "Hey, guess who I'm in line with?"
"Who?" The factory manager was a little curious and turned his head to take a look: "Wow, it's SKT Huni!"
"Is it him?" Ah Shui didn't quite understand.
"In person, he doesn't hide his ID and is quite confident." Xing Dao thought for a moment and turned off the microphone and camera: "I'm going to play him. I'll leave this game to you to carry."
"Pretending to be unable to win?" Ah Shui guessed halfway.
"It would be too fake if I can't beat him, I'll just have to compete with him." Xing Dao had prepared a plan in mind.
There is no need to act when facing other heroes.
But in this game, Huni used Shen.
When the operation and understanding are equal, Fiora and Shen are in a "thousand-layer pancake" type of game, and both of them have a chance to win.
But.
Not to mention that Huni's performance is only at the bottom among the first-tier top laners.
Is equality possible in terms of understanding?
joke!
In addition, in version 7.8 used in the MSI Mid-Season Championship, the true damage converted by Shen's Q skill is 80%, which has not yet been adjusted back to 100%. His combat effectiveness in the later stage has been greatly weakened and he is no longer as threatening.
Xing Dao decided to let Huni think that Shen could easily deal with Fiora, and then kill him at the critical moment.
It is commonly known as pig farming.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Ah Shui patted his chest confidently.
Considering the low proficiency, choose the Medicine King outfit with a long sword and three reds to increase fault tolerance and strengthen the ability of blood pressure control.
Unexpectedly.
The support holding the bell-ringing bull is a joke.
Specializes in improving teammates' mentality.
Every time A Shui missed a last hit, Niu would ring the bell. Every time he missed a last hit, Niu would ring the bell.
Ah Shui, who had little experience to begin with, was upset by the interference.
Although we were suppressing the opponent the whole time, but at the fifth minute, when we opened the data panel, we found that we were one and a half waves behind in last-hitting...
"???????"
"????"
"A Shui, are you here to make fun of me?"
"We operated like a tiger, but ended up losing a lot of money."
"I thought you were a great player, but you can't even last hit."
"Don't let him use the skateboard shoes, Brother Jie, you should use them yourself."
“…”
The barrage has never had a good impression of this "mixed AD" and directly turned on the mocking mode.
"Don't say that."
Xing Dao saw Ah Shui switching the screen to read the comments, and he added fuel to the fire: "You've been criticizing our team's Ah Shui all day long, so I'm going to ask you guys something."
"Apart from missing out on last-hitting, being weak in laning, having poor awareness, being a bit distracted in teamfights, and dying suddenly more often, what other shortcomings does Ah Shui have? Find them!"
