Xu Yuan walked onto the stage, installed the peripherals and sat down. He just happened to see SKT next door when he glanced sideways.
Most of them looked calm.
Huni with a raised mouth corner and Peanut is quiet.
Faker was saying something, with one hand on the table, looking a little bored.
And Wolf, who was also looking over here with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
As if noticing Xu Yuan's gaze, Wolf raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu Yuan smiled and didn't look at him again.
"What's wrong?"
Bang noticed something was wrong with his old partner and asked curiously.
"Nothing, I just saw Savior looking in our direction."
Wolf shook his head.
"A very strange player."
"strangeness?"
Bang was a little confused.
"He was actually laughing just now."
Wolf loosened his fingers and spoke lazily but arrogantly.
"Can you actually smile in front of us?"
Although his tone was calm, everyone could hear his confidence.
"It's normal. Players like Savior who can win the league championship right after debuting always have no idea of ​​how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. He has no rivals in LPL, so he can't imagine how strong we are."
Bang commented sharply on Xu Yuan from a condescending attitude.
In a sense, what he said is not wrong. With his current achievements, he is fully qualified to evaluate an AD who has not won the championship.
"Don't be too relaxed. It will be embarrassing if you really lose."
Li Xianghe had been listening silently, and suddenly spoke at this time.
Bang shrugged and said no more.
He is not a person who likes to talk big, but he is a little upset about Xu Yuan's refusal to let him come to SKT.
Before Bang got tired of it, SKT was undoubtedly the dream team for all Korean professional players, and probably only Samsung could compare to it.
He Bang mercifully wanted to let Xu Yuan come to SKT to take over his position, stimulate his potential as much as possible, and then make a name for himself.
This is not an opportunity that everyone has!
However, Xu Yuan refused decisively.
This made Bang very unhappy.
I'm doing this for your own good. How come you can't wrong?
Frog in the well stuff!
It’s so funny. I don’t really want you to come.
I don't know what you are pretending to be.
Come on, you are really pretending!
Facing the short-sighted Xu Yuan, Bang felt that he had to strike back hard.
Now let him know who is the boss!
Thinking of this, Bang spoke.
"Coach, can we play stronger in the bottom lane?"
kkoma was a little curious.
Because Bang had no motivation at all during that period before, and he would slack off whenever possible during training.
It is also called "meditation training".
If he hadn't been in such good shape, kkoma would have pulled him aside for a talk long ago.
However, today's bang is particularly passionate.
It's very strange.
However, although it felt strange, kkoma, who had been worried about his condition some time ago, was relieved.
As long as Bang's mentality is not a problem, he will be one of the best ADs in the world.
You can even remove one.
"OK."
He readily agreed and spoke.
"If you want to play more aggressively, how about I give you EZ Karma?"
"EDG has no way to deal with our top and jungle, so the ban position should only be given to the top and jungle."
"no problem."
Bang nodded with satisfaction.
His eyes fell on the ID of [Savior].
See for yourself... the shock that SKT can bring to you.
Then... turn from darkness to light, Savior.
If we defeat the Savior and then invite him again, he should have no reason to refuse, right?
"You can get such a strong teammate just by nodding your head, right?"
When Bang thought about the other person's possible expression when he said this, he laughed happily.
As for whether kkoma looks down on Savior?
Bang is not worried about this at all, he mentioned it to kkoma yesterday.
At that time, kkoma was visibly moved.
As for Savior, will he destroy LCK after he grows up?
What does this have to do with me, bang? I want to go to North America to retire.
LCK? Not relevant.
Some people may say:
The plan to destroy LCK was made by Master Bang.
But so what?
"Nervous?"
In the EDG voice chat, Mingkai spoke slowly.
He was more worried about Xu Yuan's condition.
Xu Yuan just made a bet with ESPN, so he might be very excited now.
It will be very troublesome if the game gets too intense.
The act of eagerly looking for opportunities is itself providing opportunities.
As for nervousness?
Mingkai was not worried because he had never seen Xu Yuan show such emotion.
"Why are you nervous?"
Xu Yuan felt very puzzled.
He had already done all the necessary mental preparation before the spring finals.
Now that he has come to MSI as he wished, isn't this exactly the scene he expected?
Brother Mingkai, are you worried about my buddy’s temperature control system?
"Don't panic, Brother Kai, I'm an old Rambo master, and I'm very good at temperature control."
Xu Yuan chuckled.
"…Why do I feel like you, little B-boy, are plotting against someone again?"
Mingkai was a little suspicious.
"It's definitely an illusion. Are there really professional players who can't control their emotions? I think professional players should learn to control their emotions very well."
Xu Yuan looked serious and asked a question.
"Isn't that what Uzi said? I think I know who you are hinting at. That's enough. They have already lost to you, so let them go while you can."
Mingkai's mouth twitched.
He finally reacted.
"well."
Xu Yuan sighed.
"I'm not targeting him, it's just that when I saw him playing in international competitions, he would always look very uncomfortable and remain silent."
"But after I got on the course, I found that... the pressure wasn't that great, right?"
"Compared to the pressure of carrying the honor of the LPL region, this little bit of pressure is nothing."
Xu Yuan spoke lightly.
"If my red temperature caused my division to be trampled underfoot by others, I can't forgive myself, and I can't blame my teammates."
"Ahem, alright, alright! BP is about to begin."
Abu interrupted quickly.
We really can’t chat anymore!
If we continue talking, it will really explode.
Although Riot would not be so unethical as to proactively release the MSI team voice chat.
But Tencent Esports has no moral integrity.
It is better to expect the Chinese national football team to enter the World Cup than to expect Tencent Esports to have integrity.
At least this is theoretically possible.
When the two sides were conducting the BP session, Abu looked stern and serious.
It is no exaggeration to say that the one who gives him the most pressure in the BP phase now is kkoma.
World Champion Coach!
This title alone is of great value today.
The LCK signature operating system led by SKT was created by kkoma.
The extent to which Abu borrowed from this system is roughly the same as how Genshin Impact borrowed from Zelda.
Now that I’ve met the real culprit, it’s hard not to be nervous.
The person under the most pressure today might be him, the coach.
The BP phase begins!
SKT got the blue side this time, while EDG got the red side.
In the first three hands, kkoma directly killed Jayce, Jinx and Ice.
These three moves are more deadly than the other!
kkoma doesn't care about the so-called skateboard shoes at all.
Because the bottom lane is Bang, he has the confidence.
When Bang is in normal condition and serious, no one can defeat him with a strong hero on the line.
The reason why I choose Jayce is because kkoma knows Scout's Jayce very well, and it is undoubtedly his unique skill now. He is even more skilled than his Leblanc.
According to Jinx, she doesn't want to give EDG the possibility of a miracle team.
After the hero Jinx triggers her passive, her output is no joke even if she is at a disadvantage. She is undoubtedly a cannon in team battles.
Xu Yuan has strong development ability, and Jinx is a hidden danger.
As for the ice, it is to further weaken Xu Yuan's laning ability.
kkoma has done a lot of research on Xu Yuan, but there is too little information.
Ashe is one of the heroes Xu Yuan picked the most in the spring season, and she can naturally target others.
As for the big tree?
EDG is treated as a treasure, but kkoma doesn't care.
Huni's personal ability absolutely crushes the opponent.
If EDG dares to use a four-protect-one lineup, kkoma will dare to choose a single hero to lead Huni all the way.
When the four-protecting-one system encounters a single-lane four-one system, it will be difficult for them to be exploded and they can be easily pulled unconscious.
kkoma released those heroes quite deliberately, just to test whether EDG wanted to take four to protect one.
Abu chose to kill Kennen, Graves, and Lee Sin.
This third ban is actually very frustrating.
There is no need to talk about Kennen. In the S7 season, Kennen was mostly AD, and his main focus was on solo laning.
Ruined King, Black Cleaver, Ice Hammer, Bloodthirsty Resurrection Armor, can resist and attack.
Is Abu afraid of the opponent's single-handed attack?
Afraid!
Because even if Guang could stabilize it, it would be wishful thinking for him to stop Huni from developing.
Many people say huni means "Hu Bu Rou".
The fact that huni has this title fully demonstrates how violent his playing style is.
He is also a very aggressive player in laning phase.
Although many people jokingly say that Huni's net worth is largely increased through Zizi and Letme.
But this doesn't mean that he really doesn't have much strength.
He might look like a clown in front of Samsung's top laner cuvee, but he has no problem bullying others.
Just like teacher Kaido.
He really couldn't beat Nika Luffy.
But you can say:
"Hey, Kaido is just an idiot. If I go up to him, can I become the Pirate King?"
It doesn't make sense.
The second choice was the male gun because there was absolutely no other way.
No matter what hero Mingkai plays, he can't beat Peanut's Graves.
This is the reality!
Xu Yuan is not a god, nor is he a superman.
There is no such thing as once he comes to EDG, the other teammates will never get sick.
Mingkai just can’t win. If he could really win, he wouldn’t have retired after S7.
I have been eaten with peanuts and fermented bean curd quite a few times.
The same goes for the third-hand Lee Sin, who Mingkai can’t beat either.
Since you can’t beat them, you can only surrender and move away.
Mingkai was a little silent at this time, holding the mouse tightly, staring at the screen without saying a word.
"It's okay. I'll get you the banned position you missed."
Xu Yuan spoke with some sarcasm.
Mingkai laughed angrily.
"Can you shut up if you can't speak?"
Xu Yuan smiled.
That's right.
Why are you keeping silent?
He knew exactly what Mingkai was thinking, which was nothing more than humiliation.
Because they couldn't win, the team had to give in on BP, which held the team back.
This is really hard for a proud player.
If Mingkai was as indifferent as someone else, he could say with confidence that he couldn't do it and didn't care at all about dragging down the team.
Then he won't feel uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, although Mingkai is not very good, he is still quite self-aware.
Can't say that kind of bullshit.
I can only say that both of them are trash.
But there are also differences between wastes.
Xu Yuan's words made the atmosphere much more lively.
Abu saw it and nodded secretly.
Being able to have Xu Yuan...it can really be said that smoke is billowing over EDG’s ancestral graves.
"Clockwork."
kkoma took the first move and directly helped Lee Sang-hyeok take down Clockwork.
The mid lane rights are very important, and Clockwork's pushing ability is not bad.
And kkoma also set a trap: Syndra!
Once EDG dares to use Syndra to seize the middle lane, the jungler will directly target Raff or Emerald God infinitely.
"Lion Dog Rock Sparrow."
After a little thought, Abu decided to pick a mid-jungle combination of Warwick and Taliyah.
He really wanted to pick Syndra, but this Clockwork was too weird.
There is a mid laner who is more powerful in pushing the line, so there is no reason for kkoma not to take it.
There is a problem!
"Well enough."
kkoma was a little surprised and laughed.
After a while, all BPs were completed.
Blue side SKT:
Top Lane Sword Princess
Jungle Olaf
Mid Single Clockwork
Bottom lane group EZ Karma
Red side EDG:
Titan
Wild lion dog
Mid Single Rock Bird
The bottom lane team is the rat Lulu.
The game begins!
Controlling the mouse to walk towards the wild area, Xu Yuan spoke.
"We can hold the bottom lane steady, so there's no need to pay too much attention to it."
"The enemy will probably come, and I will help you counter-camp then, don't refuse."
Mingkai's tone was very firm.
SKT took out Kog'Maw and Janna in the second round.
It’s still about moving people from the bottom lane group!
It is conceivable that in SKT's vision, they feel that the biggest threat among the five positions on EDG's side is Xu Yuan in the bottom lane.
So even if Xu Yuan told him not to worry, he could keep calm.
It is impossible for Mingkai to allow the bottom lane to be caught all the time.
"That's fine."
Xu Yuan thought about it and decided not to refuse.
Although he was still talking nonsense with ESPN before the game, he immediately got into the game state after entering the game.
Now I am not addicted at all.
Because EDG's lineup was so strong in the first-level team fight, SKT did not choose to invade.
Both sides started normally.
Xu Yuan’s first level skill is Q.
Just like Mingkai said, he also had a premonition that he would be targeted this time.
So at this time...of course it's time to start!
Anyone who knows that the opponent is going to gank the bottom and still exchanges blood with the opponent and loses his status is a fool.
And this kind of people also like to say that they want to take action.
There's no hope, really.
After all, no matter how good the technology is, it can't save IQ.
When Xu Yuan was playing as a jungler, his favorite thing was to catch the opponent and the opponent's AD wanted to make a move.
The benefits and risks are totally disproportionate, Xu Yuan never does such risky things.
Unless... the chances of winning are really slim.
As for SKT's BP today, Xu Yuan doesn't think the chances of winning are slim.
Because SKT gave Fiora to Huni.
kkoma may pay some attention to EDG, but not much.
Is huni qualified to play this thing?
He is almost the lowest in SKT's tactical priority.
When SKT is really serious, they will only give him two lanes.
Either choose Rumble to play top and jungle, or just give him a Galio and let him play by himself.
Fiora is really a bit outrageous.
Just like one day letme took out his Aatrox and chopped Wunder to pieces, beating Wunder by 398 kills in the BO5.
All I can say is... what a shame!
"Don't give Wolf a chance. You've fought him many times, so you should have some experience, right?"
Xu Yuan instructed Meiko.
Some things need to be emphasized even if you know them well, which is of some use.
Otherwise, Meiko will get dizzy and give her an opportunity when she is in the laning phase later.
It is estimated that when Xu Yuan steps down after the fight, Meiko might really have a stomachache.
This is very important, Meiko, please don't cause trouble.
Meiko heard the caution in Xu Yuan's tone and nodded seriously.
The laning phase officially begins!
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
"Can we win the second game today? Come on EDG!"
"I didn't watch the game yesterday. Who is EDG relying on now?"
"Yuan Shen is really in a state of panic. Can he stand out this time, Yuan Shen?"
"It's okay. Believe in God Yuan! The hope of the Chinese people is my hope!"
Don’t ask why the barrage was silent just now. During the BP stage, there were a lot of people who were busy cursing at others. Who has time to watch BP?
"The output environment of Yuan Ge in this game is a bit bad. Clockwork will definitely focus on Twitch, and Olaf and Fiora will rush to Twitch's face. It's a bit difficult to play."
At the IG base, A Shui was broadcasting live and watching the game.
He is actually about the same age as Xu Yuan, but he is really good at dealing with people and calls him Brother Yuan directly.
It's hard to dislike.
Great, no words needed.
"Can I win if I go up? Man, you are still asleep, right? I haven't even played yet. I can only play next year."
Ah Shui saw the barrage and started laughing.
"How can I compare with Brother Yuan now?"
"But Brother Yuan is a really nice person. When he went out to eat with Puzi before, Brother Yuan knew that Puzi was in a relationship, so he never asked Puzi to pay."
Ah Shui smacked his lips.
“It’s just a little weird.”
"Brother Yuan told Puzi to hide his passport and bank cards and be more cautious with his girlfriend. Puzi was quite unhappy at the time."
A Shui also felt that Xu Yuan was a little too cautious.
Can't people have more trust in each other?
Back to the game.
The bottom lane was very quiet at this time.
Although Bang said before the game that he would play more aggressively, it doesn't mean that he would just go up and start suppressing Xu Yuan without thinking.
Do you really think Mingkai doesn't exist?
Even the military line, Bang also firmly controlled it in the center of the line.
He is waiting for his opportunity.
Many people may think that EZ is rubbish, but when paired with Karma who has the ability to push the lane, it immediately becomes a qualitative change.
The advantage brought by flexibility allows EZ to always take the initiative on the line.
Bang is not in a hurry at all.
Three minutes and forty-three seconds into the game, the junglers of both teams met in the river.
Faker's support was faster, so Mingkai had to give up.
The mission started off badly.
SKT already had a plan from the beginning of the laning phase.
When Faker came online, he had already started pushing the line at a rapid speed, just for this moment.
Then, SKT's rhythm began!
After forcing MingKai to retreat to the river crab, Bang took advantage of the jungler's momentum to push the line and began to suppress.
Because the location of Peanut was unclear, Xu Yuan thought about it and decided to be cautious.
But Peanut went to the middle lane!
"Peanut is here. Scout has vision, but Peanut is smart and is also stuck in the blind spot!"
The doll looked on nervously.
Today the commentator for LPL is still Wawa Miller.
They actually didn't have much hope for this game.
SKT has left too much fear for LPL.
Before he finished speaking, Peanut had already attacked.
Faker tricked Scout into setting up his rock spike, and Olaf started sprinting and chased after him.
With the help of Clockwork's slowdown, even though Scout used his flash very quickly, he was still chased to death under the tower.
Mingkai arrived quickly, but Taliyah had already been killed, and his position became awkward.
Xiaohuasheng turned around and threw his axe to slow down Mingkai, and cooperated with Faker to force Mingkai to flash.
In just one minute, SKT suddenly surged.
The lightning-fast pace makes people breathless.
This is SKT of S7!
Laning is just a small aspect. Their ability to switch lanes and initiate rhythm is so exaggerated that it is scary.
The economic advantage on the field was instantly pulled away by SKT to over a thousand!
And now the time is only more than four minutes.
"This is SKT..."
There was only helplessness in the doll's tone, and he sighed slightly.
Is EDG's mid and jungle weak?
In fact, they are not weak. After all, they beat G2 and FW.
But SKT has never been just mid and jungle, their command thinking has always focused on the overall situation from the beginning.
By utilizing a series of reactions, you can directly overwhelm your opponent during the laning phase.
After Xu Yuan cleared the soldiers under the tower and clicked to return to the city, he noticed that Mai Li had become much quieter.
The pressure is too great.
"Brother Kai, come here. Let's prepare for a 4v4 game. We can't let them lead us by the nose."
Xu Yuan's tone remained calm.
It calmed down the already somewhat panicked teammates.
"Their vision was too good. They went around the line directly. The next target will be me."
Xu Yuan analyzed the situation calmly.
"The mid and jungle are already in an advantage. SKT will definitely want to crush me, the only ADC who has the potential to turn the tables."
"They will definitely come to capture the next wave, not just three or four people, but maybe even five."
"A Guang, be ready to tank at any time. If the opponent's top laner moves, you move. If he doesn't move, don't come down. Do you understand?"
He had already anticipated the team's disadvantage.
He had thought about this a long time ago:
There will always be a day when the mid and jungle can’t win, so what should the AD do when that time comes ?
This problem troubled him for a long time.
Because AD is a development position, he cannot lead the rhythm of the entire game like the top, mid and jungle players to make up for the disadvantage.
Even if you play a four-protect-one system around AD, it is very easy to be killed by a four-one split push in the non-Censer version.
In this seemingly unsolvable situation, what can an AD who needs to develop in the early stages do?
Forcefully push the tower system like Uzi did?
Don't be ridiculous, Uzi didn't even win.
But now, Xu Yuan already has a general idea.
A rather peculiar idea.
It is known that the opponent's mid and jungle are stronger.
It is also known that the opponent will definitely come to catch it.
So, be prepared for team fights in the bottom lane from the beginning, and skip the laning phase by engaging in continuous local team fights.
Is it feasible?
If you can't win in the laning phase, there is really no good way to deal with it, you can only practice slowly.
But we can't win the teamfight...
There are so many ways to improve.
This is the approach that Xu Yuan extracted from FPX's most famous four-pack-two system.
Different from four-on-two, four-on-two is when the mid and jungle have an advantage and then they force a group around the bottom lane.
This style of play, when the mid and jungle are at a disadvantage, drags the opponent into a fight, creating a self-destructive effect.
If everyone plays around the bottom lane, then naturally the mid, top and jungle on both sides will not develop very well.
At this point, the person who controls the game situation...
It’s AD!
This is the preliminary solution Xu Yuan came up with.
It is also a necessary measure.
The top, mid and jungle are not viable, and there is still some time before the Censer version.
If you want to find a chance to win, you have to find another way.
"I'm going to seduce."
He spoke calmly.
EDG was no longer panicked.
