All-Round Mid Laner
Chapter 140 Ice Soul Team
The schedule for the third round of the regular season has a total of five weeks, and two weeks have passed. The six teams in Group S have played against each other, and each has a winner.
天桓2:1惊蛰,2:0火纹,胜2场,净胜分3分。
北牧2:1月影,2:0冰魂,胜2场,净胜分3分。
The two teams tied for first place.
惊蛰2:1火纹,1:2天桓,胜1场,净胜分0分。
冰魂2:1月影,0:2北牧,胜1场,净胜分-1分。
Both teams have a 1-1 record.
Moon Shadow has lost two games in a row with a -2 margin.
Fire Emblem also lost two games in a row, with a -3 margin.
Judging from the current ranking, the probability of Tianhuan entering the winner's group (top four) is very high.
This season, Yue Ying was eliminated from Group S in the second stage because Xie Weiyu and Xu Zhuo spent too little time together. Although they returned to Group S afterward, the rhythm problem of their team's top and bottom lanes has not been completely resolved.
Ye Shaoyang has a very good relationship with Xie Weiyu. He knows that Xiaoyu is actually working very hard, and he often practices in private, but the other teams in Group S are also working hard. It is probably impossible for Yueying to enter the winner's group with the current results.
The loser's bracket is not without hope. In the history of professional leagues, there are many teams that have entered the finals from the loser's bracket. There are still two months to adjust after the end of the regular season, and everything is unknown.
Huo Wen's current performance is not good. As a mid-core team, Zhou Jiawen has been targeted too hard by himself.
In the third week, the schedule for Group S is Tianhuan vs Binghun, Beimu vs Jingzhe, Moon Shadow vs Huowen.
If Tianhuan can win the game in the hands of Binghun, it will be a 3-game winning streak, and even if he loses 2 games in a row, he will be able to enter the upper bracket.The playoffs are an elimination system, and the teams in the winner's bracket have two lives, so they have a better chance of winning prizes.
In the afternoon of the next day, Coach Lin called the team members together for a meeting: "Ice Soul was last season's champion team. Although they are currently ranked fourth in Group S, this team is still strong, especially in team battles. It is very strong."
Ye Shaoyang went to the finals to watch the finals in person last season. The team battle of Binghun really cooperated tacitly. The 5 people seemed to be twisted into one rope, and the others followed immediately.
Ice Soul's captain Chen Qianhua, the only beta captain of the league who also came from the Star City youth training base, is currently the strongest support player in the Huaguo region, and his overall outlook is quite good.
Coach Lin said: "The advantage of Binghun's team lies in team battles, but the disadvantages are also obvious. They are not strong in the early stage. The shooter position and the middle unit are not considered star players. There is a gap in personal strength compared to the first-line double C. This is also the reason why their performance this season is not as good as S9."
Chi Shuo analyzed: "Their team battle routines have been thoroughly studied by the major teams. Before fighting a team, they must first break a certain path, and they will not be able to delay the late stage."
Ye Shaoyang said: "The day before yesterday, when Bei Mu played Binghun, I think the idea can be used as a reference. I played against them directly in the early stage, so that Binghun's C position can't develop, try to play small groups of 3 or 4 people, and avoid 5 players. People's Congress."
Ice Soul is the strongest group of 5 people.
But small-scale team battles may not be better than others. For example, in the classic 2V2 small team battle between the middle and the wild, Tianhuan's Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang are almost invincible. Going to 2V2 with Ice Soul Nakano, the chances of winning must be very high.
In the 4V4 team battle between Nakano and Shesuke, it is still unknown who will win.
If it is 5V5 directly, Tianhuan is easy to lose.
Ice Soul is a typical team battle team, 5V5 is like 5 people's brain waves are synchronized.With the problem of being out of touch, which is easy to occur in other teams, Ice Soul has never appeared.
Coach Lin looked at Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo: "You are right. After careful research, the coaching staff has summarized more than a dozen games of Binghun this season. We found a rule-the average time for Binghun to win the game is 25 minutes. Minutes. The average length of lost games is only 20 minutes. The difference of 5 minutes is enough to explain the problem."
"That is to say, Ice Soul can basically win in the late stage after 25 minutes, and the winning rate exceeds 80%. Instead of letting them delay in the late stage, they can directly catch a certain lane of them at a fast pace, and end the game before 20 minutes. It’s easy to lose. This team is strong in the late game, but not in the early game.”
Such a team with a distinctive style is easy to target.
Last season, the Frozen Soul finals brought out a particularly novel spirit rabbit support system, which caught the opponent off guard and entered the World Championship as the No. [-] player in China.This season, their Spirit Rabbit will be in the regular position.
Ye Shaoyang asked: "We fight Ice Soul, do we need Banling Rabbit?"
Coach Lin said: "I just wanted to discuss this point with you." He paused, and joked: "Shaoyang, you don't want to use 'follow the opponent's way, let the opponent have no way to go' again, right?"
Ye Shaoyang coughed lightly: "It won't work this time. The spirit rabbit system is very special, and it takes a long time to practice. We have never practiced this kind of system. It takes a week to practice from scratch. It is not enough. Let Qujiang take the spirit rabbit... "
Qu Jiang said confidently: "I can lead Beng Sanlu."
Everyone: "..."
Then don't take it!
The spirit rabbit is a support with a very special mechanism. The ultimate move of "Sly Rabbit Three Holes" can make three rabbit nests on the map and teleport teammates there instantly.The spirit rabbit system of the Ice Soul team is essentially a strategy of operation + guerrilla warfare. Chen Qianhua, as a support with a strong overall view, uses the spirit rabbit to lead the rhythm of the audience, and summons his teammates to push towers crazily.
Opponents will fall into the embarrassment of "wanting to beat them but can't find them", being controlled by others everywhere.
This system is really hard to crack.
Coach Lin asked: "Do you think the support [Lingtu] needs to be banned?"
Ye Shaoyang said: "I don't think it's necessary. It's still the group stage of the regular season. It doesn't matter if you lose once or twice. Let the opponent's strong system be released, is it to accumulate game experience?"
Chi Shuo agreed: "I think so too. Ice Soul's spirit rabbit system has been banned for a whole season, but in fact, the operation of this system is very flexible. We can also learn from them when we collide with them on the field. Some experience." He looked at Qu Jiang: "Especially Qu Jiang, you can learn from Xiao Chen's auxiliary ideas."
Qu Jiang nodded earnestly: "Well, I've watched a lot of Team Chen's game videos, and he's really thoughtful about checking his eye position and grasping the timing of team battles."
The team members said so, and Coach Lin smiled gratifiedly: "It's best for you to think this way. In the future, if we go to the World Series, we will encounter more powerful enemies. It is a good thing to train in advance."
This sentence made everyone's chest slightly warm, as if the stage of the World Series was waving to them.
——Yes, Tianhuan's goal for this season is the World Series!
Take a longer view!
In the group stage, in order to win, it is not necessary to try to ban the strong system of the domestic team.You ban other people's strongest lineup, even if you win, don't you promise that you won't meet again in the future?
There are so many lineup systems in this game that it is impossible to finish playing.
On the contrary, if we were to play the Spirit Rabbit system with Ice Soul this time, and in the World Series, we would encounter teams from other countries using this kind of operation and guerrilla warfare. Wouldn't Tianhuan have experience and know how to break it?
The players and the coaches exchanged a glance and reached a consensus.
Coach Lin looked at Qu Jiang and Cheng Xing, and said with a smile: "This season, in almost every game, I will ban the support that forced the team to start, just to relieve the pressure on the bottom lane. But, playing Binghun, I I won’t be banning the support position anymore, I will release all the supports from Team Chen, the pressure on you in the bottom lane will be huge, is that okay?”
Qu Jiang bit the bullet and said: "No problem, I will try my best to protect Xiao Xing."
Cheng Xing scratched his head and said, "Then I, I try to live as long as possible?"
There was a burst of laughter in the meeting room.
Everyone knows that the role of support is very important in the confrontation of bot lane shooting and assisting. Sometimes, a key ult block can save the shooter's life;
Therefore, if Coach Lin wants to release Team Chen's strong support, Cheng Xing's living environment will be extremely difficult.
Ye Shaoyang patted Cheng Xing on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, we will help the bottom lane more. When fighting Binghun, it must be around the bottom lane, and their support cannot be frequently roamed."
Ice Soul's assisted wandering will make people uncomfortable.Chen Qianhua is like a pair of eyes looking at the overall situation. He will clearly know the movements of the opponent's jungler and mid laner, report the position to his teammates, and prevent the opponent from catching people in advance.
With such support, it is easy for the jungler to return without success.
In the early stage, assist in roaming, see the field of vision clearly, and avoid teammates from being caught, and in the later stage, group together to defeat opponents-this is a common routine of Ice Soul.
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang have two ways to arrest people.
The first is to use an invisible hero so that Ice Soul’s support cannot be seen; the second is to use a hero who can cross obstacles to launch a surprise attack from a super long distance from a position where Ice Soul has no vision.
The two exchanged a look, and said tacitly: "Shuangfei?"
Coach Lin nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! We also think that the combination of Shuangfei is very suitable for fighting Binghun! However, Binghun may ban Shuangfei, after all, the vests of the two of you in the international server have already been dropped."
Chi Shuo said: "Ice Soul doesn't necessarily ban Shuangfei. Personally, I think they are more likely to ban stealthy junglers like stealth thieves and blood-clothed assassins, or [Shadow Warlock] who can be invisible."
Ye Shaoyang said with a smile: "If they fly together, I have another idea."
The teammates all looked back at him, and Cheng Xing said excitedly: "Brother Yang, tell me quickly, I think your ideas are very interesting!"
Ye Shaoyang said: "Ice Soul is relatively weak in the early stage, right? There is a lineup that is particularly strong in the early stage, you forgot?"
Chi Shuo understood in seconds: "The bounty warlock system?"
Ye Shaoyang nodded: "Yes, we can also use the round that Jingzhe defeated us!"
Coach Lin looked at Ye Shaoyang with complicated emotions.
——Learn from the opponent and apply what you have learned. This is also an essential quality for a strong team.
In the last round of playing Fire Emblem, Tianhuan had learned Fire Emblem's positional warfare system, and after improving it, the effect was very good.
Playing Ice Soul, you can also learn Jingzhe's bounty warlock system to improve it!
This is the case in professional leagues, learn from each other's strengths, sum up experience, and slowly improve.
Tianhuan himself has developed a lot of middle-field linkage routines, but the advantages of other teams can also be learned. If this continues, Tianhuan will have more and more lineup systems.
In the future, in the face of powerful enemies in the World Championships, you can adapt to the situation and find out the fastest way to deal with it!
Lin Feng said excitedly: "Okay, that's it! I'll write out the hero configurations for several sets of plans for fighting the ice soul. Everyone hurry up and practice."
7 days passed quickly.
The competition venue for the third week is arranged in Glacier City.It is already the beginning of June, and the average temperature in this northern city, famous for its snow scenery, is still around 6 degrees, making the climate very comfortable.
When everyone came to the hotel, they happened to run into the Ice Soul team.
Chen Qianhua took the initiative to come over and greeted with a smile: "Chi Shuo, what a coincidence."
Chi Shuo nodded to him: "Well, we just arrived."
Chen Qianhua looked at Ye Shaoyang with very gentle eyes: "Lieyang, hello."
When they met at close range, Ye Shaoyang found that the captain of Beta had a gentle smile and a very graceful speech. The four Alpha players of the Ice Soul team treated him respectfully. It seems that Team Chen is indeed a very charismatic player.
Ice Soul was on the verge of disbanding in the S8 season, and won the domestic championship all the way to S9...
Chen Qianhua has become a legend in the league.
Ye Shaoyang admired this player who turned the tide from the bottom of his heart, and said politely, "Hello, Team Chen."
Chen Qianhua joked: "Can you kill me a few times in tomorrow's match?"
Ye Shaoyang said: "You can choose a support with special meat, and I won't be able to beat you!"
Although he appreciates this gentle captain, but on the field, he will not show mercy to anyone.
天桓2:1惊蛰,2:0火纹,胜2场,净胜分3分。
北牧2:1月影,2:0冰魂,胜2场,净胜分3分。
The two teams tied for first place.
惊蛰2:1火纹,1:2天桓,胜1场,净胜分0分。
冰魂2:1月影,0:2北牧,胜1场,净胜分-1分。
Both teams have a 1-1 record.
Moon Shadow has lost two games in a row with a -2 margin.
Fire Emblem also lost two games in a row, with a -3 margin.
