Fierce shooter

The poke lineup in the tailwind round is invincible as long as it doesn't waver.

This is true.

And those who say this are still basing their calculations on the ranking situation. In the professional arena, the advantage of poke flow...that is, the skill hit rate will also be improved.

Although theoretically speaking, as a professional player, the opponent's positioning is much better than rank. In theory, the two sides should cancel each other out.

However, the fact is that once there is a problem with the mentality of professional players, when they review the game, they will even find that some of their actions on the stage are no different from clowns, which is completely unbelievable.

This is the case for the current DWG team.

In this second round, they were defeated too quickly.

So much so that they were in complete confusion while defending under the tower.

The terrifying poke damage of the Thorn Birds team even made them start to feel fear.

Once this fear arises, operational errors will become inevitable.

As Ezreal's ultimate move hit the two people under the tower, the Titan hooked the wall without hesitation, using the wall's displacement to pull him in. The ultimate move directly locked onto Kennen, who was closest to his target.

Xiye understood very well and did not lock Kasha.

As a hero, Kai'Sa, if the summoner reacts quickly enough, he can turn in E to become invisible at the moment he is locked by the Titan, making the Titan's lock invalid.

Therefore, Xiye only plays with reality.

Since you have chosen a hero who serves the team, you will serve the team to the end.

As soon as the Titans came up, the defensive formation that everyone in DWG had barely maintained collapsed instantly, and everyone was fleeing to the rear.

The Thorn Birds' large army was actually not in a hurry. The HP of the defense towers had been depleted. Now everyone swarmed forward and quickly destroyed the defense towers with the help of the space created by the Titans for the team.

While tapping the tower, Jess and Leopard Girl's key poke skills were also keeping an eye on Kennen, who was locked by the Titan.

Escape?

Pointless.

As long as Kennen is knocked away by the Titan, the Thorn Bird's skills will attack instantly.

In order to preserve the team's only remaining hope, Genshin Brother chose to hand over E to provide the prerequisite Kenan resistance skill.

In this case, he will be the one who dies.

Once Galio from Genshin Impact died, it became even more difficult for the prince without the help of a stopwatch to enter the arena. His entrance was purely to deliver food.

However, after destroying the high ground on the top road, the Thorn Birds did not plan to make a wave. Instead, they steadily chose to continue to advance on the high ground in the middle road.

This gave everyone in DWG who returned to the city to replenish 500 potions no chance of studing.

With the blessing of the big dragon buff, all three highlands were defeated.

A huge number of super soldiers came up, and the Thorn Birds were near the high ground, replenishing the buffs for the soldiers and spending their skills at the same time.

Not to mention the DWG players present.

Even many viewers watching the live broadcast felt their scalps numb.

Especially viewers who often watch games, of course they know that many teams will choose to be stable and delay as much as possible when they win a game in BO5 and have an advantage in the second game in order to make it easier to win the next game. The rhythm allows the team to boil the frog in warm water, eating away at the opponent bit by bit while also torturing the opponent's mentality.

As an opponent, if you were behind in the first game and now you are behind again in the second game, you will inevitably feel a little anxious.

The more anxious the opponent is, the less anxious the dominant team is. Torture is torture!

The game time is less than 23 minutes now. It stands to reason that the incisor tower has been pushed since 23 minutes. This can be regarded as a crushing game for the dominant side.

However, this torture is now felt by the audience.

"It's so desperate. On the one hand, we have to deal with the super soldiers, and on the other hand, we have to guard against the poke from the Thorn Birds... Oops, Sword Girl won a bid, and she has to go home after just one bid. Ezreal's The big move is here... Jace... oh! Holy Spear Brother's Jace flashes sideways and fires a QE vertical cannon so fast!"

"Showmaker escaped in a direct cross-dodge. I'm afraid he broke out in a cold sweat because of the fright."

…

Guan Zeyuan in the commentary box shook his head and said.

Under this kind of pressure, as long as DWG has not lost their fighting spirit, their spirit will inevitably become exhausted due to long-term tension.

At that time, the short 15 minutes of halftime would hardly allow them to recover.

Although this thorn bird was not beaten into a bladder round, the torture effect was many times more powerful than the bladder round!

…

"I don't want to keep it anymore."

Niuguli had a bit of a meltdown.

The people on the Thorn Bird side were stunned to beat Lan to pieces by relying on consumption.

The duration of the Baron buff ends when the third wave of super soldiers swarms onto the high ground.

But this only intensified DWG's psychological torture.

They saw that the super soldiers were about to push down the incisor tower, but as soon as the dragon buff disappeared, the thorn bird retreated directly and moved closer to the small dragon pit.

After this wave of Thorn Birds returns home, I'm afraid they will all have three-piece suits.

Xibal'er, just be a human being!

We at DWG haven’t offended you, have we?

The five members of DWG felt so miserable that they couldn’t express their feelings.

"You still have to defend. Think about how to fight next."

Brother Genshin sighed.

As the brains of the team, he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.

What Genshin Impact is most worried about now is that the Thorn Birds will choose the blue side for stability in the next game.

In this way, their already difficult BP will become even worse.

The torture of the Thorn Birds team lasted until 25 minutes.

When the game ended, all members of DWG felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Thorn birds know their way around things.

They didn't forcefully wait until the second dragon spawned and then tortured them again.

Firstly, it is not necessary. Secondly, by the time the second dragon is refreshed, the poke flow lineup has also reached the end of its strong period.

Even though DWG's hope is slim, they obviously haven't completely given up their fighting spirit.

If there are some setbacks in the process of getting the second dragon due to some uncertain factors, then the Thorn Birds will be at risk of being overturned.

Even if there is only a slight risk, the thorn bird is not willing to take it.

It’s not that they don’t have the ability to resist risks, it’s that they don’t have the need.

Game time is 25 minutes and 23 seconds.

The Thorn Birds team bulldozed DWG's base.

"The torture is finally over. Of course, it was the torture of DWG. It can be seen that they played very hard in this game. Anyway, I hope they can adjust well during the halftime break and then play the Thorn Birds for the audience. Let’s deliver a more exciting game!”

"Let us congratulate the Thorn Birds, 2-0, holding three match points in this quarter-final, congratulations to them!"

As Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, the players from both sides returned to the backstage lounge one after another.

The dejected DWG people started quarreling because of disagreements before they even reached the lounge.

"I think we should not have any regrets in the third game. We can play whatever heroes we want."

Niu Guli spoke very little, but at this time, he was full of negative emotions and began to vent his emotions consciously.

"What's the difference between us losing by default?"

Showmaker frowned and retorted.

He felt that Niuguli was a bit pretentious when he said this.

"So can we beat them normally? Am I weaker than their top laner? Or do you think the top laner can carry the game? Even if The shy comes!"

"Okay, just stop saying a few words."

Brother Genshin glanced at the two people who were arguing, and with just one word, the two fell silent.

Even though Genshin Impact is a fat nerd with two thorns, Koreans are strict about age and class, so these two young brothers are still very honest when faced with what Genshin Impact said.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Brother Yuanshen walked to the front and sighed silently.

if……

It would be nice to ban him.

…

Brother Genshin thought to himself.

…

Today, the head of Riot Games in the LCK region came to the Riot Games headquarters for the fourth time in this world championship to complain.

After watching the person in charge leave, Riot Games' event director's eyes flashed with contempt and disdain.

"That's what Koreans are like. They don't say anything when they are invincible, but when they face an opponent they can't defeat, they start to make small moves."

The assistant standing next to him also had sarcasm in his words.

"They always do."

The person in charge of the tournament shook his head: "But having said that, from an objective point of view, there is a difference between Shine and Faker. Although Faker is very strong, as strong as a monster, his growth curve has twists and turns."

"He was invincible when he first appeared in S3, but was immediately frustrated in S4, forcing him to cover up his edge. He even found a substitute for himself in S5, so that he could successfully win two championships in a row and become the first Triple Crown player.”

"But Shine..."

Speaking of this, the person in charge of the event had a somewhat complicated look: "This magical oriental boy... his trajectory is so incredible."

"We have analyzed that the Shine player who debuted in S7 seems to deliberately want to conceal his strength. In most cases on IG, he uses more functional AD, but starting from the knockout round of the World Championship, his play The law has made some changes.”

The assistant hesitated: "It's like... the edge is revealed."

"The LPL division is too weak. If he doesn't change his style of play, it will be very difficult to win."

The person in charge of the competition lamented: "This is what makes me confused. Normally, it is inevitable for a 17 or 18-year-old boy to perform well for the first time on the stage. However, Shine players seem to have been consciously The same restraint, as if... he knew the trajectory of the future... the magical boy."

"The question now is, do we really want to do something about it?"

the assistant asked.

"If he can really win this World Championship, he will be an unprecedented three-time champion. Although the popularity of our League of Legends has always been high around the world, the game has a lifespan after all. With all due respect, I’m afraid it’s hard to find another legendary player like Shine.”

"Once shine players have firmly controlled the honors in various competitions, the enthusiasm of other competition areas will naturally decrease. After all, there is a big mountain standing in front of them, and they are extremely sure of this."

The assistant's words made the tournament director think deeply.

Riot Games had a plan as early as last year.

The name of this plan is "Salary Cap System."

The salary cap system appeared in the NBA a long time ago, and its function is to limit the maximum salary standard of a team.

With the rapid development of League of Legends in the past two years, the value and salary of players have increased.

And the speed of this increase is extremely exaggerated.

The reason why the salary cap system is considered is because some players have begun to perform badly with high salaries. Such players who perform poorly with high salaries have completely negative effects in the e-sports circle.

Although when an industry develops to a certain extent, the new players who join the industry will definitely not be as pure-minded as the first batch of players.

But in a competitive game, if the players choose to play professionally purely for money, the hidden dangers to the industry will be relatively large.

Riot Games originally planned to implement the salary cap system in the S9 season.

On the one hand, it is to restrict this behavior.

On the other hand, I also don’t want to see many teams spend a lot of money to build Galaxy Battleships, making other teams completely unable to fight, although... the effectiveness of Galaxy Battleships was not very good in the past.

But Li Luo's appearance really shocked them a little bit.

Especially after they repeatedly watched key matches with Li Luo commanding in the team's voice, they became even more confident.

That is...if Li Luo really formed a team composed entirely of star players, then with Li Luo's understanding of horror games, this team would most likely be able to produce a terrifying effect that no previous Galaxy Battleship had achieved.

The basis of personal strength determines the upper limit of the team. This is the eternal tone in the field of e-sports. The difference is that some teams have excellent coaches or leaders who can manage, while some teams do not have this characteristic. .

So on the other hand, Riot Games at that time also thought that they could use the salary cap system to restrict Li Luo's teammates. Once the salary cap system was implemented, Li Luo's salary would account for the share of everyone on the team.

By then Li Luo's other teammates will not be very strong.

But what Riot didn't expect was that Li Luo actually formed a team without any top star players except himself.

mlxg can barely be considered one, but judging from his age and condition, this one is clearly on the decline.

The other teammates had no results.

It was such a team that was defeated by them.

This makes the fist a little messy.

Salary cap, does it really work?

You must know that the salary cap only limits the players' own wages.

This salary does not include business income.

The maximum salary for S-class players set by Riot Games is 15 million per year.

Compared with Li Luo's current annual salary, it is still much less.

But for a player of Li Luo's level, salary is not the bulk of his income.

Besides, is Li Luo short of money?

Will he choose to retire because his salary is reduced?

What a joke.

Thinking of this, the person in charge also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

From the current point of view, unless Li Luo doesn't want to play, or wants to say goodbye to the game for a short time, no matter how many measures they take, they can't restrict Li Luo. Not only can they not restrict it, but they will also restrict other "peaceful players". development” team.

It is even more impossible to consider the means of targeting Li Luo personally. The audience is not a fool. How can a Riot company as big as yours target a player? Afraid of a player?

What about the pattern?

From many perspectives, it seems they just have to wait.

Waiting for Li Luo to choose to bid farewell to the competition.

In other words... wait for Li Luo's condition to decline.

But considering Li Luo's current state in the game.

They see no hope.
