All-Round Mid Laner

次日下午,S10世界邀请赛个人赛，8进4淘汰赛在首尔的电竞场馆准时开赛，打进个人赛8强的选手当中,刺客有3人,战士3人，中单2人。

In the 8-to-4 knockout round, the two mid laners just collided.

Mitchell from the North American division made his debut in the S8 season and won the best rookie award that year; now in S10, he is already a veteran player with three seasons of experience, and his performance in the regular season this season is also remarkable.

As for the player TH-Sunshine who played against him, except for the fans in the Huaguo division who clearly knew that he was a mid laner, the audience in other divisions didn't know him well, they only knew that he was a newcomer from Huaguo.

As a world-class mid laner, Mitchell is much more famous than Ye Shaoyang.

Most viewers believe that Mitchell is playing a rookie, and of course Mitchell is more likely to win.On the guessing platform that was opened before the game, 70% of the people supported Mitchell's victory, and only 30% supported Lieyang.

Ye Shaoyang didn't care about the voices from the outside world, and just prepared for the game with peace of mind. Chi Shuo also took the time to edit the video of Mitchell's game, and analyzed and studied it with Ye Shaoyang to find a countermeasure.

At 3 p.m., the Huaguo District delegation walked into the e-sports venue.

The reporter conducted a simple interview with Ye Shaoyang: "Yangyang, are you confident of winning the mid-laner civil war with Mitchell today? Domestic fans are very concerned about your status."

Ye Shaoyang greeted the camera with a smile: "Thank you for your concern. I played against Mitchell in the training match before. Today's game, I am not nervous, and I will try my best to play well."

The reporter encouraged: "Come on!"

Ye Shaoyang made a cheering gesture to the camera, and walked into the preparation room with Chi Shuo and the others.

In the preparation room next door, Mitchell was gearing up and sent a message to the coach: "Today, I will play the Abyss Dominator against Lie Yang. Not only can he know how to play, but I can also play this hero! Last time he used the Abyss Dominator to kill me solo, I'm going to kill it this time!"

The coach reminded: "Don't get too excited, don't get on top, keep calm."

Mitchell's style is passionate and aggressive, and he is prone to impulsiveness when playing games.Although he has matured and calmed down a lot this season, the coach is still a little worried that he will easily lose the game if he is too impulsive.

Mitchell replied: "Don't worry, I won't be in charge today, I will be calm."

The game is about to start.

Ye Shaoyang and Mitchell walked onto the big stage and bowed to the audience respectively. The two looked at each other. Ye Shaoyang smiled at Mitchell friendly and said, "Come on."

Mitchell: "...?"

What do you mean cheer me on?Is this psychological warfare?

The two went into the soundproof room and sat down.In the middle of the big stage, only the two of them sat, and the lights were a bit dazzling. Ye Shaoyang looked calm, and quickly adjusted the equipment.

At the scene, there was an official commentary assigned by the Korean organizer, introducing the two players in Korean: "Mitchell, Mitchell, I believe everyone is familiar with it, the main mid laner from the American FNO team, a world-class mid laner! TH-Sunshine , from the Huaguo Tianhuan team, is a rookie participating in the World Series for the first time!"

"We saw that 70% of the people on the pre-match guessing platform supported Mitchell to win! The odds of guessing coins supporting Sunshine have tripled!"

Yao Mu and Dong Ge live-broadcasted the game to domestic audiences at the commentary booth on the second floor.

Hearing this, Brother Dong said in a complicated mood: "Because the Korean audience doesn't know Lieyang, only 30% of them won by guessing before the game. However, the approval rate does not mean the winning rate. Mitchell has rich experience in the competition and is popular. It's very high, but I think Lie Yang still has a chance to win today's mid laner civil war."

Yao Mu agreed: "Yes, Lieyang is the only one remaining in this year's World Invitational Tournament in Huaguo District. I hope he can go further and reach the top four!"

The domestic audience is actually a little worried. Huaguo District has not performed well in the past few years. There are no trophies in S9. This year S10, the World Invitational Tournament did not send a duo player. Ye Shaoyang is the only one left in the individual group...

Almost all hopes and pressures were placed on his shoulders.

Changing to an ordinary newcomer may be very nervous, but judging from the pictures captured by the camera, Lie Yang's expression is very calm, with a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes many fans slightly relieved.

But the fans still couldn't let go of their hunger until the end of the game.

After all, his opponent is Mitchell.

South Korea boasted Park Won-seok as the world's No. [-] mid laner. In fact, Mitchell in North America is the most popular mid laner in the past two years, and his reputation in the international server is also higher than that of Zhou Jiawen.

Fans cheered Ye Shaoyang in the barrage area.

The game started quickly, and the two sides entered the first game.

In the mid laner civil war, the way of choosing heroes is different from that of other professions. When playing assassins and fighters, you don’t have to worry about [Abyss Master] [Illusionist] being robbed of these heroes, but both of them are mid laners. If you want to grab popular heroes, you need to Fight hand speed.

In the first game, Mitchell locked [Abyss Master] in seconds, and he was obviously very confident in this hero.

Ye Shaoyang considered for a moment and chose [Earth Mage].

Yao Mu saw this and analyzed: "Yangyang chose [Earth Mage] to fight [Abyss Master], probably because he wanted to use rocks and walls to control the field, so that the opponent's black shadow operation was restricted. The black shadow of [Abyss Master] It is impossible to directly cross the wall barrier, and it is theoretically possible to fight.”

Brother Dong said: "But [Earth Mage] is very fragile. If [Abyss Master] flashes over the rock barrier and kills him directly, he may not be able to withstand it. Field control mages PK stabs have very high requirements for detailed operations! "

Yao Mu said: "Yes, let us look forward to the first match between the two sides!"

Mitchell froze for a moment when he saw Ye Shaoyang choose [Earth Mage]. Is this a black shadow trying to trap him with a wall?As long as his operation speed is fast enough, Sombra won't be stopped so easily!

The game started, and the two sides came to the middle to face each other.At the beginning, both of them were very stable, and each of them cleared the pawns and developed. Mitchell was not as fierce as before, and only played a black shadow to clear the pawns.

Until the wave when both sides were at level 6 at the same time, Mitchell summoned 3 black shadows without hesitation and wanted to go to Ye Shaoyang, but Ye Shaoyang had expected it, and placed three rock walls in succession in a burst of hand speed——

The audience saw that the three walls made of rocks instantly rose from the ground, perfectly blocking the retreat of Mitchell's shadow.

The black shadow superimposed mark was interrupted after only stacking 5 layers.

Mitchell broke out in a wave, and Ye Shaoyang's blood dropped to about 30%, and he was not killed.Mitchell raised his eyebrows, retracted the black shadow and waited for the next wave of cooling, Ye Shaoyang decisively pressed the return button, and went home to replenish blood.

Yao Mu said: "Yangyang played very calmly! He calculated the displacement distance of the black shadow, and used the wall to block the combo marked by the black shadow brush! If the marks do not stack up to 7 layers, the outbreak of the abyss master is not enough The mage was dropped in seconds! In the wave just now, Mitchell's extreme operation was interrupted, and the mark only stacked 5 layers."

The South Korean commentator said with emotion: "Unfortunately, there are only two shadow marks missing, which happened to be blocked by the stone wall." , if he directly flashes over the wall to kill him later, he may not be able to guard against it!"

After a while, Ye Shaoyang returned to the middle lane.The two continued to line up, and the level was slowly increasing. Mitchell took advantage of the fact that the lines of soldiers on both sides were cleared and they had no vision of each other, so they suddenly hid in the grass on the side.After the next wave of soldiers came, Mitchell decisively flashed forward with the 3 shadows summoned in advance.

The operation of the world-class mid laner is indeed very detailed. In this sudden attack, his black shadow stacked 1 layers of marks on Ye Shaoyang's body in just 6 second. As long as he connects with WR's combo, Ye Shaoyang will die!

But at this moment, Ye Shaoyang suddenly placed three walls in a row.

Viewers from God's perspective can find that his three walls just form an "equilateral triangle", enclosing the black shadow and body of [Abyss Master] in the triangle.

Immediately afterwards, Mitchell opened a WR combo.

Ye Shaoyang also launched a combo——

The black abyss mark exploded instantly, and Ye Shaoyang was instantly killed!However, although his body fell, a large number of stones fell from the sky above his head.A large number of huge stones fell like a torrential rain, not only killing the 3 shadows of the abyss master, but also killing the abyss master in seconds!

——Mitchell (Abyss Master) killed TH-Sunshine (Earth Mage)!

——TH-Sunshine (Earth Mage) killed Mitchell (Abyss Master)!

The exchange of human lives within 2 seconds was so fast that the audience was so dumbfounded that they didn't see it clearly.The director immediately played back in slow motion, and only then did everyone understand how terrifying the extreme operation of the two was.

After reading it carefully, Yao Mu analyzed: "In the wave just now, Yang Yang probably guessed that Mitchell was ambushing nearby, and he was about to catch him, so get ready to fight back in advance!"

Brother Dong said: "Yangyang is indeed very detailed. [Earth Mage] is a hero who mainly controls the terrain. If the equipment is not good in the early stage, the damage of the ultimate move is not enough. However, after [Abyss Master] kills, the skills At the same time as refreshing, the defense will drop by half, and at this time, you can kill the opponent in seconds when you open it up."

Yao Mu said excitedly: "That's right, [Earth Mage]'s ult requires 1 second to read the bar. When Mitchell came to kill him, he started to read the bar. The moment Mitchell killed him, the ult was just right. It can be released! Although the [Earth Mage] is dead, a large number of stones summoned fell from the sky, killing the [Abyss Master] with reduced defense!"

Brother Dong's eyes were full of admiration: "What's even more ingenious is that Lieyang released a triangular wall to enclose the shadow. Even if Mitchell reacted, he couldn't change his position and escape. This is actually asking you to enter the urn and exchange your life for your life style of play!"

In the early stage of the magic stab, the explosion is high, and it is easy to kill people. As long as the opponent loses 3 times, Ye Shaoyang uses the "life for life" strategy. If the head is 1:1, it will not lose. Chance.

Master of the Abyss, although this hero has strong harvesting ability, he has a fatal weakness - when killing an enemy, the skill is refreshed, but the defense will be reduced by half.

It would be easy to kill him after he kills himself and his defenses drop.Only reading skills can achieve the short time difference between falling down and releasing the skills.

This was also verified repeatedly by Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo last night.

In this wave, the master of the abyss was killed, and the three shadows were all dead.

In the next period of time, Mitchell couldn't play too hard, not to mention that his flash was also used up.On the surface, Mitchell made the first move and got first blood, but in terms of details, Ye Shaoyang actually earned blood.

There is no shadow of the abyss master, and the combat power is not to be feared.

Ye Shaoyang took the opportunity to press the pawn line, pushed the tower, and drained 30% of the blood volume of the outer tower; Mitchell had to use the black shadow to clear the pawns, but as soon as he released the black shadow, he was blocked by Ye Shaoyang's retreat by a wall, and the QW combo made the black shadow to kill.

So, in the next game, as long as Mitchell released the black shadow, Ye Shaoyang used the wall to trap the black shadow and kill the black shadow, so that it was difficult for Mitchell to gather 3 black shadows to explode in a wave.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

The more Mitchell played, the more irritable he felt. Choosing [Abyss Master] in front of Lie Yang was asking for trouble!

He had too much confidence in himself, thinking that [Abyss Master] had practiced well enough that he could kill the opponent to save face.But in fact, Ye Shaoyang's understanding of this hero is extremely thorough, and he has accurately grasped the movement route and cooling time of the black shadow. He took a seemingly bulky [Earth Mage] and directly defeated the black shadow to death!

In the first game, Mitchell fell in front of his own crystal with hatred.

Until the end of the game, he couldn't kill Lie Yang in seconds.

The two South Korean commentators looked at each other, and after two seconds of silence, they said, "Congratulations to Lieyang for winning the first game!" "Yes, he actually won against Mitchell. This is really an upset result!"

Yao Mu could understand Korean, so he couldn't help laughing: We, Yangyang, were the first to win the [Abyss Master] national uniform, what kind of upset is this?Normal operation okay?

The second game will start soon.

Mitchell was very stable in this game, and he was not in a hurry to choose a hero. Ye Shaoyang took [Illusionist] first, Mitchell took [Shadow Warlock], and the two waited until the last second before automatically preparing.

Yao Mudao: "Illusionists and Shadow Warlocks are both a wave of magic stabs, and a set of combos explodes in seconds. The advantage of Shadow Warlocks is that they can be invisible, and the advantage of illusionists is that they can be controlled."

Brother Dong said: "Mitchell brought purification, Lieyang brought flash, the PK of the double explosive stab will be very fierce, let us look forward to the second duel between the two sides!"

Compared with the field control and consumption in the first game, it took 15 minutes to decide the winner.In the second game, the level 6 battle between the two was very fierce. Ye Shaoyang flashed over to control Mitchell, Mitchell activated the purification in seconds, and fought back in stealth. Keeping up with the combo, the result is that you beat me in seconds, and I beat you in seconds, and the skills are almost settled at the same time.

There was warm applause at the scene.

Such a fierce confrontation is very exciting, and it can also be seen that the strength of the two is evenly matched.

In the backstage viewing area, Park Yuanxi couldn't help frowning when he saw this: "This Lieyang reacts very quickly. Mitchell went around invisibly and suddenly appeared, and he can immediately keep up with his skills."

Cui He stroked his chin and said, "It seems that he does have some talent? But if he wants to win against Mitchell, he has little hope."

Park Won-seok said: "Well, Mitchell is stronger and more experienced."

The pace of the second game was very fast, both of them were explosive stabs, and of course they would not grind to clear the pawns and push the tower. Ye Shaoyang and Mitchell seem to have this kind of tacit understanding-it depends on who gets 3 heads first .

The head-to-head ratio between the two sides went from 1:1 to 2:2, and the game has reached the most tense moment!

Mitchell ambushed a wave in the grass in the middle. At the moment when the pawn lines crossed, he suddenly turned on the purification in advance, and hit the illusionist with a combo of stealth. Although Ye Shaoyang reacted quickly and went back to control him, but Because Mitchell pre-empted the decontamination, the control was ineffective.

Mitchell took the lead to get 3 heads.

The scores of the two sides drew 1:1 and entered the tiebreaker of the third game.

The domestic audience became more and more nervous, and Ye Shaoyang's fans even raised their hearts to their throats.

Everyone knows that Mitchell hasn't come up with his signature hero yet - the [Sunlun Mage] who can resist and fight, and is also Mitchell's famous hero.

Yao Mu guessed: "In the third game, Mitchell is likely to take the Rilun Master?"

Brother Dong said: "His favorite hero is Master Sunlun. He plays like a warrior and is very fierce. What hero will Lie Yang choose?"

In the third game, Mitchell really chose [Sunlun Mage].

After Ye Shaoyang hesitated for a moment, he chose an unexpected hero——[Forest Lord].

This is the first time a domestic audience has seen him play [Lord of the Forest]!

Yao Mu was stunned for a moment, and said, "The Lord of the Forest? This is a very special summoner. Unlike [Cobra King] who summons pet snakes, [The Lord of the Forest] summons vines to control the field. The vines can bind opponents and Causes damage to enemies on the path, and the big move 'Thorn Strand' can also cause good area damage."

Brother Dong said: "Using [Lord of the Forest] to fight [Master Sunlun] is a good idea, because [Master Sunlun] has short hands, and the vines have a long attack distance, so they can kite opponents. But there is also a problem, [Lord of the Forest] ] is very crispy, as long as [Sunlun Mage] gets close, he can be killed in seconds with one set, and his vines are very difficult to control!"

Yao Mu said: "Yes, I have tried this hero before, and it is more difficult to operate than [Cobra King]'s four little snakes. I can't understand it at all! After the vines are summoned, the path and direction must be controlled by the mouse. Manipulating several vines at the same time, it is easy to tie yourself up and become a mess."

The master's [Forest Lord] has four vines flying all over the sky, binding and strangling, very powerful.

But the [Forest Lord] of most online game players will only twist the vines into twists, or trip themselves.

[Sunlun Mage] is simple and straightforward, and has a strong burst, while [Lord of the Forest] is difficult to operate and requires a lot of skills. The heroes selected by the two players in the final round also fit their personal characteristics.

Game start.

Mitchell played very fiercely in this round. [Sunlun Mage] is a close-combat mage with high defense. He waved the golden wheel in his hand. The general attack is spell damage, and the pawn clearing speed is very fast.

And [Lord of the Forest] needs to release vines to clear soldiers, and the rhythm is relatively slow.

Mitchell's [Sunlun Mage] was the first to reach level 6. He decisively went up and beat Ye Shaoyang. Taking advantage of Ye Shaoyang's [Forest Lord] not yet level 6, a wave of explosions took the heads of the Forest Lord!

[Sunlun Mage] is worthy of being Mitchell's natal hero. The wheel in his hand is as fast as lightning, predicting Ye Shaoyang's position, and the brief dizziness when the wheel is thrown over him, controlled Ye Shaoyang for 1 second, before Ye Shaoyang had time to move and dodge. He hit 7 layers of critical strikes in a quick combo.

The output of the Sun Mage is to rely on fast basic attacks to superimpose critical strikes. The higher the number of layers, the higher the spell critical strikes, and the style of play is more like a warrior.The melee mage's face-to-face output was really fierce, and he won a blood soon after the start, and there was warm applause at the scene.

But Ye Shaoyang didn't panic.

After returning to the line, he continued to carefully clear the pawns, not missing a single pawn.

Soon, the Lord of the Forest also reached level 6 and had 4 vines.

Next, the audience saw a wave of gorgeous performances - two dark green vines suddenly flew out from the hands of the forest lord, like conscious snakes, and instantly entangled the sun wheel mage!The other two vines swept across the pawn line, clearing out the minions as quickly as possible!

In this round, in order to get the kill quickly, Mitchell brought flash instead of purification.

The binding of the vines will bind the person in place and cannot move.Mitchell wants to move, unless he cuts the vine, that is to say, he has to attack the vine on his body and empty the blood volume of the vine before he can move.

The two vines inherit 30% of the forest lord's health and can be destroyed quickly.

However, what Mitchell was depressed about was that the moment he knocked down the vines, the two minions were also killed by his defense tower, and he failed to get the reward for making up!

Brother Dong said: "Mitchell missed two soldiers?"

Yao Mu reacted, and said: "Yangyang should have calculated the blood volume of the soldiers, and suddenly used vines to control Mitchell's hand. He cleared the opponent's soldiers and let them enter the tower. The defensive tower will eat the soldiers. The bound Mitchell has no time to make up the knife!"

It appears that the Lord of the Forest released two vines and bound the Sun Mage, who then quickly cut the vines.But in fact, Ye Shaoyang's goal is not to kill the opponent, but to interfere with the opponent's purge.

Next, another wave of soldiers arrived, and Ye Shaoyang released vines again from a super long distance, tying Mitchell's melee mage in place and unable to move, Mitchell could only watch the soldiers die!

This feeling is uncomfortable.

It's like a big meal in front of you, but your hands and feet are tied and you can't eat it.

Moreover, what he lost this time was the cannon soldier, and the gold coin bonus was very high!

After two consecutive waves of losing troops, Mitchell failed to make a spell crit equipment in the first place, but Ye Shaoyang made defensive equipment—increasing blood volume by 1500 points and magic defense by 300 points.

In this way, with the explosion of Sunlun Mage, there is no way to kill him in seconds.

Yao Mu was pleasantly surprised: "Yangyang's production idea is very clear. Is he relying on operations to delay the later stage?"

Dong Ge also said with relief: "The hero he chose in this round can't compete with [Sunlun Mage] in damage, but as long as it reaches the later stage, [Forest Lord]'s vines have higher and higher blood volume, and can give the opponent Annoying!"

[Forest Lord] can summon 4 vines in total, and each vine inherits 15% of the owner's blood volume. Ye Shaoyang directly makes a meat outfit, and the Sun Wheel mage can't kill him. In the later stage, it takes a long time to beat the vines!

By the time the game lasted 10 minutes, Mitchell was already feeling strenuous.

The blood of the vines is getting higher and higher, and it takes more and more time to fight the vines!

Moreover, Ye Shaoyang put vines to harass him frequently, which is really annoying.

Every time he wanted to go to clear the soldiers, Ye Shaoyang tied him up with rattan just right.

The other party seemed to be saying: "It's just that you won't be rewarded for supplementary damage."

Most of the e-sports players have "obsessive-compulsive disorder". If they can't make up soldiers or get money, they feel like a blood loss.Continuous loss of money will make the economic gap between the two people bigger and bigger.

In a blink of an eye, [Forest Lord]'s economy surpassed that of [Sunlun Mage].

Mitchell knew that he couldn't go on like this any longer, so he seized the right moment, flashed over, and tried a set of explosive kills [Forest Lord], but [Forest Lord] was doing HP + defensive equipment in this round, It can't be dropped at all!

At 13 minutes into the game, Ye Shaoyang changed his strategy to a spell crit outfit after making two defensive outfits.

[The Lord of the Forest] released four vines unexpectedly.

I saw four dark green vines covered with black poisonous thorns all over the body, suddenly drilled out from the ground in the four directions of east, south, west, and north, and bound the Sunlun mage with lightning speed!

——Strangled by thorns!

The 4 thorny vines gathered together in an instant, binding the Sunlun Mage tightly.

The vines became tighter and tighter, and the thorns on the vines would cause the negative effect of "bleeding" on the bound target, and Mitchell began to lose blood.Since the vines inherited the blood volume of the [Forest Lord], they were terribly fleshy, and they kept hitting for a while, so Mitchell could only watch him lose blood crazily.

Mitchell: "..."

What is the experience of being tied up by thorny vines, bleeding to 5 layers, and dying from bleeding?

After Mitchell personally experienced it, he wished he could crawl over the network cable, tie up Ye Shaoyang and beat him up!

Should he be the first mid laner to be strangled by vines?

Domestically, viewers who watched the live broadcast sent a row of hahaha.

【Hahaha poor Mitchell】

【Although I am very happy that Yang Yang killed him, I still sympathize with him】

[Put out the meat outfit, pile up the blood volume of the vines, and then rely on the bleeding caused by sharp thorns to deal damage? 】

[Lieyang tells you: what is bundled Play]

[Mitchell, who was tied up by vines and bled to death, can't wait to die! 】

After Mitchell was resurrected, he began to make equipment to the limit, and heaped critical strikes to the extreme.

He seemed to be annoyed by Ye Shaoyang, and he wanted to kill Ye Shaoyang very fiercely, but Ye Shaoyang's position was always very cautious. Two vines were always summoned to his left and right sides as protection. No matter what direction Mitchell cut in, They will be bound by vines and interrupt the combo.

[Sunlun Mage] once the combo is broken, the crit cannot be stacked, and it is even more difficult to kill the [Forest Lord] who has put on defensive equipment.

A whole round of bundled Play made Mitchell almost lose his temper.

In the end, relying on the economic advantages accumulated in the early stage, Ye Shaoyang made equipment with 3 defense + 2 output, seized the opportunity, flashed in the past, and tied up Mitchell with four vines in seconds.

All over the sky, vines sprang out in an instant, twisted wildly, and tied Mitchell tightly into a rice dumpling.

With bleeding on the 5th floor, Master Sunlun collapsed instantly!

——TH-Sunshine (Lord of the Forest) killed Mitchell (Mage of the Sun Wheel)!

——TH-Sunshine (Lord of the Forest) took triple kills!

Seeing the word victory popping up on the screen, Ye Shaoyang smiled and stood up from his seat.

The audience watching the live broadcast in China cheered excitedly, and the barrage area was filled with 666.

Chairman Qiu in the background also stood up and applauded excitedly: "Great, Lie Yang has entered the semi-finals!"

Yao Mu said: "Congratulations to Lieyang for winning Mitchell 2:1! For the audience in North America and South Korea, this is an upset ending. An unknown rookie player from China actually beat Mitchell. Reach the semi-finals!"

Brother Dong said: "The mid laner reached the semi-finals in the individual competition, which is already a very good result in history!"

As a rookie, Ye Shaoyang has already completed his task by reaching the top four in the individual competition. Even if he loses in the next round, not many people will scold him.

But Ye Shaoyang knew that this was not enough.

No one will remember who the final four are, people usually only remember the champion.

How can you be willing to go abroad without taking a trophy?
