Chapter 41 I'll Eat Two, and the Rest Will Be Yours
I'd like to see another contestant making such outrageous remarks.
The EDG players just thought it was an attempt to be different and attract attention.
I wouldn't care at all.
But Xing Dao not only carried the game, he also used new tactics that were unexpected, reasonable, and very effective.
It can be seen that the level of understanding has reached a considerable height.
so.
Hearing this.
Not only the factory manager and Meiko were curious, but even BP coach Maokai and manager Abu were attracted.
“How come falling behind isn’t necessarily a bad thing?”
Abu twirled his pen with interest: "Xing Dao, please explain it to me. If it makes sense... I'll give you chicken legs tonight."
"I want to eat pig's trotters." Xing Dao upgraded.
"No problem!" Abu agreed and glanced aside.
"No, why are you all looking at me?" The factory manager felt a little uncomfortable: "Do you want me to chop off a hand to cheer you up?"
"You're the only one who knows how to order takeout. Who are you looking at? The hotel doesn't provide it." Abu was annoyed: "Okay, okay, we don't have much time, let's not go too far. Xing Dao, tell me, what is your understanding."
"6.18 is a new version for all teams." Xing Dao got to the point: "It's just that we 'jumped' a little bit, so it's a little more difficult to adapt."
"But there is one aspect that everyone should have noticed."
"That's the adjustment of more than a dozen heroes. Except for Taliyah, which was really nerfed, the others can basically be ignored and will not affect the current ecological environment."
Xing Dao was very sure of this conclusion.
Because in the next game.
Whether it is SKT, ROX, or SSG, they all ignored the so-called weakening.
Ekko, Gnar, Lee Sin, and Ashe, whose attributes have been downgraded, are still frequent visitors to the Ban/Pick seats.
That is to say.
After trying it out in the group stage.
All three seeded teams in the LCK region are aware of this problem.
When fighting against LPL teams that are still in the process of exploring, still confused, and struggling with the so-called " strengths and weaknesses of their versions", we naturally have a certain degree of advantage.
"Are you sure?" Abu asked doubtfully.
"At least the ecology of the top lane hasn't changed at all." Xing Dao said firmly.
Even though I don't have a very clear memory of the details.
Xing Dao is still certain that the top lane in the S6 knockout round will be dominated by a series of heroes including Poppy, Troll, Gnar, Rumble, Kennen, Jayce, Ekko, etc.
Bobby Conuter Gnar.
Troll Conuter Poppy.
Jayce exerts pressure on the single line, while Kennen and Rambo go for burst.
Everyone has their own strengths and anyone can do it.
"Well……"
Abu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then how do you explain why you said that being behind the times is not necessarily a bad thing?"
Here comes the key!
Xing Dao was cheered up.
He organized his words and made full use of his strengths as a 'big mouth': "After playing in a version for a long time, it is easy to form a fixed mindset. The 6.18 ecological environment has basically not changed, but that doesn't mean there are no new things!"
"Like escaping from the shell? Or something similar?" Meiko's eyes lit up.
"No." Xing Dao responded.
"Tsk, what else?" Meiko was a little disappointed.
"There's also Taliyah." Xing Dao mentioned an extremely unexpected hero.
"Eunuch, GG." The younger brother Scout joined the discussion with the help of the translator and interrupted in unfamiliar Chinese.
"Of course it's G in the laning phase..." Xing Dao smiled and said, "Brother Changzi, based on your experience, how does Taliyah perform better than Nidalee in the jungle ?"
Ask in one sentence.
Everyone in the audience fell into deep thought.
The factory manager frowned at first, then relaxed his brows, as if he thought of something, and frowned again.
After a dozen seconds, he opened the laptop on the table.
Log in to the competition server and start the custom mode.
I brushed it alone.
"Tialah jungle is really useful."
Abu observed for a moment and made a judgment: "The jungle clearing speed is fast, the state is maintained well, the jungle combat power and gank ability are not bad..."
"And there is a big move." BP coach Maokai added.
"Yes, the ultimate skill not only provides half-map support, but can also change the terrain, which is very crucial." Abu said the same old thing.
In the summer regular season, Taliyah's Ban/Pick rate in mainstream regions was between 20% and 30%.
Not particularly popular.
But in the post-season, it’s time to compete for a spot in the world finals.
Even in the bloodiest, most violent, and most fist-fighting LPL region, Taliyah's Ban/Pick rate is as high as 80%!
It even achieved a 100% winning rate!
It's easy to understand why such an exaggerated effect was destroyed by a single blow.
Even if all the designs around Taliyah were to go to waste, there's nothing that can be done.
But.
When Xing Dao compared Taliyah and Nidalee.
Everyone in EDG discovered... that things were really a little bit weird!
There is a difference when switching from mid lane to jungle.
But the difference is not particularly big.
After all, Taliyah's core function is to support and block the road.
Compared to the mid laner who has to deal with the minion line before he can focus on other things, the jungle Taliyah has a clear advantage in flexibility!
What’s more important is.
There is no need to research or try out the Taliyah jungle system from scratch.
Combining the lineup of Taliyah in the mid lane and Nidalee in the jungle, you can use it, it's very mature!
"I, I, you, you..."
The factory manager pressed ALT+F4 to exit the test, and paused several times before uttering a complete sentence: "Brother, you have done a great job this time!"
"A great contribution." Abu was very sure.
The escaping Ryze is just a point of contention.
We should be able to gain a slight advantage in the quarterfinals.
And then later.
The opponent can basically keep up.
After all, it’s just practicing one hero.
It's not difficult.
The three days between the group stage and the quarterfinals are too short.
By the time the semi-finals came around, with a gap of more than ten days, it wasn't that difficult to practice to a "usable" level.
The development of the jungle Taliyah can definitely be said to be the deciding factor.
Because this move was not exposed, except for EDG, most other teams would not have expected it.
In actual combat, it may very well be the difference between winning 3-1 and winning the final game 2-2!
"The pig's trotter..."
Xing Dao was just joking.
Talking and talking.
I'm a bit greedy.
The braised pig's trotters have a soft and glutinous skin, chewy meat tendons, and are full of collagen when you take a bite.
Serve with shallots and minced garlic.
Refreshing, spicy and other tastes mixed together...
It's really impeccable.
Thinking of this, tears are about to flow from the corners of my mouth.
"No problem, wait here, I'll buy you a few!" The factory manager took the responsibility.
"Ah, no, no, I'll just eat two and the rest are yours." Xing said modestly.
"Hiss——" The factory manager vaguely felt that something was wrong again: "Is there something else you are saying?"
"No, absolutely not. Brother Factory, you don't have it, so how could I have it?" Xing said seriously.
“Hahahahahahahaha.”
"Ha ha ha ha."
“Absolutely.”
"You two are so good at playing!"
The EDG members who could understand what people were saying burst into laughter.
Only the younger brothers Scout and Deft were left confused and had no idea what was going on.
"Let's talk about it when we get back. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Abu waved his hand and said, "Let's watch the game first. AHQ and INTZ have started fighting."
