As Mei Xia sat on the e-sports chair, the director's camera panned around the players on both sides, especially the two newcomers Blank and Wink on EDG's side. Lan
In the much-anticipated opening match, the LPL organizers specially selected VG as their opponent for EDG, who had returned with a great reputation.
In terms of strength, vg will not be too weak or too strong. In terms of popularity, this year's vg has two star players, Easyhoon and Bengi.
And the most important thing is the topic!
EDG just defeated SKT in the World Championship.
Back in LPL, my opponent had two SKT players. Easyhoon was the mid laner who won the championship the year before, and the jungler Bengi was even Bengi who played all four games in last year's finals!
The topicality is undoubtedly full of excitement!
"There are seven world champions in an ordinary regular season, which feels a bit like a small game!" the commentator doll said while looking at the camera. Lan
"Six, it's six for the time being. It's a pity that the factory director didn't start the game, but Blank started, and it seems that another bond has been formed!" Miller corrected rigorously.
"Indeed, there are three former SKT players present, and EDG's jungler Blank was once Bengi's substitute and successor." I remember explaining, "This is a battle between two generations of SKT junglers!
"
Yes, in order to prove his vision and show his trust in the newcomers, Abramovich not only arranged for the newcomer Wink to appear on the stage, but also specifically defied the wishes of most fans to watch the factory director come on stage to compete with Bengi again, and instead let the newlywed pair train Blank started for half a month in the opening game.
Blank sat on the chair and gave Bengi an awkward smile across from him.
When he was in SKT, Bengi was close to retiring. He selflessly passed on his experience to himself in order to cultivate successors and continue to support Faker.
However, he was a starter for a period of time in the spring game last year, but soon failed due to his performance in MSI, becoming Bengi's disappointing successor, becoming the laughing stock of LCK, and finally being relegated to the bench...
He also vowed to work hard to improve and regain the starting lineup based on strength. Lan
But current events are so unpredictable.
In the blink of an eye, he and Bengi, who he once treated as his master, are now rivals, each serving his own purpose!
bengi smiled back.
But there was no kindness in his smile.
Although both Blank and SKT left SKT, their nature is completely different. He retired after success and made way for newcomers to make money in LPL.
And Blank, this guy who seems to be honest at first glance, actually betrayed SKT and took refuge with that hateful woman Mika!
Now that lpl officials want him to be a sacrifice for edg's good start, he will never sit back and die! Lan
He will definitely be the first faker in the opening game and kill SKT's traitors!
Blank knew immediately about his bad intentions.
With a fragile mentality, he couldn't help but have a doubt. Can he really defeat the old captain Bengi?
"Senior Bengi seems to be a very kind person. He was smiling at Xiao Hei just now, but you have to tell him not to let down his guard just because we have his junior here! Otherwise he will lose miserably!" Sakura girl's voice came.
"Ah, Bengi means the same thing..."
After prevaricating Sakura Girl, Blank's mentality improved a lot. After all, even though Sakura Girl next to him is small, she is a terrible person who really beat Bengi and Faker to pieces in the World Championship.
With the support of Sakura Girl, it's hard to lose. Lan
But the remaining cowardice deep in my heart still cannot be dissipated.
The key to this LPL debut is not whether he wins or not, but whether he can be worthy of Mika as a jungler...
If he wins the game and his performance is as bad as the Factory Director at Worlds, it means nothing.
At this moment, the millions of viewers sitting in front of their computers watching the live broadcast are talking a lot.
Disappointed not to see the director in the opening game.
Expressed dissatisfaction with the transfer result of edg.
Questioned blank's starting lineup. Lan
The live broadcast enters the new bp interface.
The three commentators introduced the new system, "Okay, then the opening game of the 2017 LPL Spring Split will begin soon! I believe the UI interface of this new season will confuse all viewers. Starting from this year, Riot Games will implement the BP system for League of Legends. The number of offices has been increased from 6 to 10!"
"However, the new BP system has not been implemented in the platoon yet. It will be introduced in the professional league first. Today's opening game is the first 10-game match in the LPL!"
"The specific ban method is that both sides will first choose three out of three bans, and then proceed to the second round, each will choose two out of two. It may be difficult to understand in detail, but based on the game screen and our explanation, I believe everyone will understand it soon. .”
During the commentary time, the game starts bp.
Watabao said, "The blue team vg banned Qinggang Shadow first! Mouse has been practicing Qinggang Shadow hard in the qualifying match recently. It seems that the vg coaching staff is also very aware of it."
Miller smiled and said, "Maybe he is afraid that mouse will learn some of Qinggangying's skills from Mika. Mika recently played live broadcast of Qinggangying, and the whole network is full of incredible combos." Lan
"Huh? The red square EDG's first move was to ban Syndra." I remember being a little surprised.
"Easyhoon's mage heroes are all very strong, so banning Syndra is no problem!" Wawa immediately answered.
It's not that the casters don't understand why EDG banned Syndra.
But I dare not say it.
Riot designers were self-defeating when weakening the mage hero. They changed Syndra W's passive, which can catch three balls at full level, into a passive that has 20% true damage at full level——
Therefore, W, which originally only had an auxiliary control function at full level, instantly became a super powerful late-stage damage skill, and players can use the main W and secondary Q skills to add points to exert power in the mid-term.
In the end, Syndra, who should have been removed from the field like other mage mid laners, instead jumped up and became stronger than before the weakening! Lan
Due to the above factors, and the fact that easyhoon is an expert in playing mage, edg first banned Syndra to avoid being robbed by the opponent.
It can only be said that the 10-level position is a product of Riot's inability to control the balance. Syndra's mistake of trying to weaken but accidentally enhancing it occurs in almost every version.
Simply skipping the question of Syndra's strength, the commentator doll added, "It's vg's turn to ban people in the second hand, Jace! This is because edg has the possibility of swinging up and down, and Jace's version is really strong! "
Another topic that cannot be discussed.
While Riot forcefully promoted assassins, it also enhanced a large number of armor-piercing armors. As a result, Jace, who had only scratched the surface, received equipment benefits and still topped the ranked win rate list.
It's edg's turn to ban people for the second time, and finally we can explain the hero in detail, the assassin fights the wild poodle!
"It seems that Abu doesn't want to let the poodle to Bengi! This hero has been reworked in version 6.22. Q [Cruel and Ruthless] has been changed to a stabbing effect with AOE. Under the brutal effect, W [War Roar] is also free of control for 1.5 seconds. It's simply terrifyingly strong." Lan
"Oh! VG has banned Mantis Kha'Zix. As Rengar's old enemy, he has also been greatly strengthened in 6.22. The passive and helpless spell bonus has been changed to an additional attack power bonus, and he has evolved Q to attack the helpless one. The prey returns 60% of the CD. After evolving the ultimate move, you can passively enter the grass and become invisible. It is also incredibly powerful!"
It took more than a month to prepare the version knowledge after explaining the popular science.
EDG banned jungle spiders in the third hand.
This time, the last ten versions have neither been strengthened nor weakened. It is simply because of the revision of the jungle area. F6 and stone beetles have become difficult to farm, which has caused most of the junglers with blood damage or slow jungle farming to retire from the version. Therefore, spiders Yin Lisi can continue to stay at the forefront of the jungle version.
In short, edg's positioning Yuyun allows them to put the heroes that vg is good at into the ban box.
Wawa said excitedly, "Okay, the first three figures are over, and now it's time for vg to grab the first figure! This is the BP order of the new version of the tenth version. Is it a lot more different from the previous six figures? !”
"Verus! VG grabs Verus!" the commentary voice sounded. Lan
Verus now has two schools, one is the armor-piercing style that collects equipment to enhance benefits, and the other is the attack speed special effects style that collects passive kills and assists to get a large attack speed bonus.
On the edg voice channel, coach Abu was making final confirmations with the players, "Is Mika sure to take the AD Assassin?"
"Yeah!" Mixia nodded, "Just follow the plan before the game."
I finally got a chance to take a break from the assassins before the incense burner flooded, how could I miss it!
According to the plan, since the mid laner wants to take the ad assassin, other lanes must make up for the ap.
After going around in circles for more than half a year, the top ap hero has become a popular hero, and now it has returned to Maokai, the twisted tree spirit, from Aklan Bokainan!
And this is not because the tree has been strengthened recently, but because the new resolute talent [Courage of the Colossus] added in the new season perfectly fits the skill set of the tree. Lan
Mixia nodded in confirmation, and the top laner immediately locked onto e Dashu!
【Edg's big tree is back! 】
[Woo woo woo, I’m sure, this is still the original edg! 】
[The original edg, the original big tree, why am I not so angry when I recall it, but instead look so comfortable! 】
When you lose, it is wrong to choose any hero, but when you win, even if the game is full of big trees, no one will be disgusted.
In the atmosphere of nostalgia among the audience, EDG has confirmed its second-hand selection.
"It's still the selection stage for EDG, blind monk! Blank's blind monk, I don't know who is stronger among the factory director and Bengi's blind monk!" Xie sighed. Lan
Edg also has a deep-seated purpose in selecting people, to show everyone the advantages of Blank compared to Factory Director.
Then vg grabbed Zyra and the excavator with two or three hands.
These two heroes have been weakened recently, but their strength is still strong enough to compete in the game. At the same time, Excavator, in this environment where junglers who cannot farm and slow to farm have all been decommissioned, are still firmly in the top five.
Moreover, the excavator is also the only hero with outstanding results in the World Championship. It was he who used the excavator to defeat Bengi's blind monk many times.
So bengi grabbed the excavator here with the intention of revenge against edg.
"Have you watched the video of last year's World Championship? Just use the Blind Sin like the factory director did!" Mixia tried to help Blank relax.
"Hehe, that's not okay..." Blank hesitated. He knew that if he behaved like the factory director at that time, he would immediately move off the field with the chair after the game. Lan
In the team voice channel, Abramovich did not pay attention to the grudges in the jungle position. He was a little hesitant about the next selection, "Female gun or grasshopper?"
Although literally understood, the female gun grasshopper is an ad and an auxiliary, but both of them are auxiliary positions. The former is already a fixed Zyra ter, while the latter is a top assist after being strengthened by Little Grasshopper.
Mixia considered that although Dashu was an AP hero, his effect was average, so it was best to add some AP output.
"Choose Malzahar, I think he's very good recently!" She made the decision for the coach, "Meiko-senpai, what do you think?"
"Well, just a grasshopper!" Meiko replied.
EDG locked Malzahar with the third hand.
"Oh, it should be the auxiliary grasshopper!" Baby quickly explained the BP rules, "The first round of BP ends here, and the second round of BP will begin soon, starting with edg."
vg only has two middle lanes left and no one to choose.
Opposite the unknown top laner Onion, Kindness Meixia will certainly give these unknown players a chance to perform.
So first ban the tsar and block easyhoon’s best hero.
vg responded by banning female police officers.
After all, there are too many mid laners that Mika can use in this version. VG can only ban a few that are obvious supermodels, but can't control the others. It is better to use the ban position on AD.
Then go to the edg fifth figure.
Continuing to ban the mid laner, Ryze also placed the ban position. Lan
The same is true for vg, ice is disabled in the fifth hand.
"The next selection order is different from the previous six offices. The red square EDG will select one person first!" Miller explained.
"VG chained two-handed AD heroes, can newcomer Wink's hero pool be able to hold on..." I remember being a little worried.
】
Wink is also doing a choice between the two.
Either Jin or Sivir.
The former is to follow the armor-piercing style and cooperate with the assassin's mid lane, and there is basically no late stage.
The latter is very suitable for the lineup, but once the team is at a disadvantage, they can only hang around. Lan
"Wink, believe in yourself!" Mixia encouraged.
"Sivir!" Wink still has no confidence. He is still a newcomer and just wants to hang out.
"Okay, then Sivir!" Mixia didn't have any objection.
edg locked Sivir.
vg then selected top laner Titan and mid laner Clockwork.
The top laner is a tank, and the mid laner is still easyhoon's best mage mid laner!
"It's the final round of edg selection! Will it be the assassin hero that has been specially strengthened in this version?" The commentator doll is already looking forward to it. Lan
"Edg's lineup is really suitable for the assassin mid laner, but it's mainly easy to be controlled by the Titans..." Wawa said the right nonsense.
As for Mixia, of course she wants to choose the assassin!
Hero lock.
The tribulation of the Lord of Shadow Stream!
The lineups of both sides are all determined.
Blue side vg, top laner Titan, jungler excavator, mid laner Clockwork, adc Verus and auxiliary Zyra.
Red square edg, top laner Big Tree, jungler blind monk, mid laner Zed, adc Sivir and auxiliary Malzahar. Lan
