134: Strange tricks appear frequently!(1/4)
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2016 LPL Summer Playoffs," I remember saying in a loud voice, "This is the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center!"
His partner today is Ze Yuan.
The two of them have relatively little experience in the LPL league. They were able to get into a semi-final that attracted a lot of attention. Now they are naturally full of energy and want to perform well!
Thinking of this, I remember my voice became louder and louder, "The two teams were also old rivals in the same group during the regular season. The two teams were in Group B before, and the final winner of the two confrontations was VG!"
Zeyuan immediately spoke for RNG, first creating an atmosphere of close competition, "But now RNG is feeling hot. In the first two rounds of the playoffs, they defeated IG and the Snakes respectively, and advanced all the way to the semi-finals."
"It can only be said that Chun Guan's background is here. If we really want to defeat 5, we still don't know who will win!"
The director shot showed the RNG fans in the audience, and they immediately waved flags and cheered for the home team they supported!
Supporters watched the final game of the regular season and witnessed RNG being bullied by WE. They originally had no hope for the team's playoffs.
As a result, RNG scored two consecutive 3:0 results, which made the fans overjoyed!
Then the screen cuts to the players' seats.
The five RNG members looked serious, and even Xiaohu, the most optimistic member of the team, stopped smiling.
The foundation of Chunguan mentioned by Zeyuan is a metaphysics.
Probably reflected on the field, it is the experience and sufficient confidence to deal with Wave 5 in the playoffs.
But that doesn't mean they don't have pressure.
The pressure is even greater than that of the average team!
The spring championship, reinforcements during the transfer period, and momentum building from the league to the club before the start of the game.
You can't just win the semi-finals in the end and count it as success, right?
In the previous two rounds of playoffs, they faced IG and the Snakes. To be honest, they did not pose any threat to RNG.
Even Sofm, a rising jungle star in the summer split, was at a loss when the Snakes team was at a disadvantage in three lanes. He simply turned into a jungle scavenger and went to make out with the monsters!
RNG has been winning smoothly until now, but they haven't taken it lightly when facing VG who also has a new jungler in the starting lineup.
They know that Gu Xing and Sofm are different.
Virtue is much more mature in all aspects of technique and tactics. Even though he is called a newcomer, his style of play is extremely comprehensive!
On the other hand, Sofm currently only knows one move to accurately counter the jungle, and in front of Lao Yinbi, his mind is as simple as a blank piece of paper.
In the second half of the regular season, the factory manager figured out his style of play, and he was instantly successful!
Moreover, the overall strength of VG's lineup is much better than that of the Snakes, with no obvious shortcomings.
Especially the double C in the middle and lower part can be called the pinnacle of stability in the later stage, and its ability to seize opportunities and output in team battles is quite powerful!
"VG chose to return Imp to the starting lineup today," I remember guessing, "JackeyLove performed well in the second half of the regular season, but after all, he lacked experience, so the team decided to let the veteran support the team!"
He speaks very quickly, and his articulation is clear enough for the audience to hear clearly. Apart from his slightly crooked accent, he has no other problems, "And I saw that Imp has climbed to the top of the Korean server some time ago, so he must be in good shape!"
At this time, the director gave a comparison of the previous regular season data of the two teams. The silver and white team logo of VG was clearly distinguishable from the black and gold RNG.
"VG's average game time is only 28 minutes and 22 seconds, which is a very outrageous number," Zeyuan sighed. "In the current slow-paced operating version, the average time of each team in the LPL is about 34 minutes. VG is stunned.
More than five minutes shorter than average!”
I remember holding on to the headset and said, "The backstage director told us a very interesting piece of information. VG's average game time is the shortest among the five major leagues!"
As OGN/LCK completed three consecutive championships in the World Championship.
Korean-style operations are completely popular in the five major leagues!
Korean aid and Korean coaches have brought mature operational concepts to all competition regions, attracting countless teams to follow suit!
It focuses on the tactical style of replacing various resources, with low bloodshed and low number of kills. In the eyes of many viewers, it is not interesting to watch, and the play style is really dragging.
Often, we wait until the later stages, during the battle for key neutral resources such as Barons or Ancient Dragons, before a battle breaks out that can tilt the balance of victory!
Some teams know how to operate and can give full play to their own advantages.
And many average-level teams don’t even understand the basic concepts of operations, and they are just dragging their feet!
They used practical actions to explain what it means to imitate others.
When asked about the reason, the coaching staff could only explain it by saying, "This is how Korean teams play."
As the pioneer of Korean-style operations, the LCK league’s average game time in this summer season is as high as 38 minutes!
ROX, known for its ferocious offensive, has an average duration of 35 minutes, which is only slightly ahead of other teams in the division. Compared with VG, there is still a big gap!
"However, this does not mean that VG's offensive ability is the best in the world," Zeyuan commented impartially, "After all, we still have to consider the differences in divisions."
What he was referring to was not the tactical style, but the overall strength.
ROX is playing teams such as SKT, Samsung, and KT. With back and forth, the average game time will naturally increase.
VG faces all LPL teams!
According to the current common view in e-sports forums, if the top three teams in the LCK come to the LPL, they can directly award championship trophies. There is no need for a showdown!
As for the top teams in the LPL, if they go to the LCK, they are probably at the level of a playoff goalkeeper!
In everyone's opinion, in a competition area where novices are competing against each other, VG dominates the competition, and it takes a shorter time to do it. Sister Li can do it.
Even so, when the screen switched to the specific data of the five VG players, it still caused an uproar in the audience!
I remember that we both took a deep breath and catalyzed global warming with Zeyuan.
The data of the top laner and bottom lane duo are still within the acceptable range.
In their eyes, Mr. Hou and Gu Xing in the middle were completely outrageous. They opened the door for outrageousness. It was outrageous!
"Easyhoon averages 1.05 kills per game, with a KDA of 14.7; Virtue averages only 1 kill per game, with a battle loss ratio of 15!"
I remember the more I talked about it, the more excited I became, "The total KDA of VG's top midfielders and junglers is as high as 29.7! The two of them are the top two in terms of battle loss ratio among all positions in the LPL... Isn't this too exaggerated?"
Today's focus battle has attracted countless netizens to watch online.
The LPL match live broadcast room is already overcrowded, and the chat channel’s screen refresh rate is dizzying.
[No wonder Xiao Gu said that he is a fan of the factory director, KDA has indeed learned the essence]
[The season in which the director’s KDA was the highest was not as good as Virtue, right? It’s better to be better than the old.]
[The Marquis has fewer deaths to begin with, and he is a mid-range unit with a low death rate per game. Even so, the KDA is lower than Virtue? I can't accept it! 】
[KDA I only serve Bang from the group stage of last year’s World Championship. The battle loss ratio of 71 is really disgusting, and I can’t kill him at all!]
[Has no one paid attention to Xiao Gu’s other statistics? He ranked first in the same position with an average output of 443, second in the league in injury ratio of 28.0%, and first in the league in combat participation rate of 77.7%... Isn’t this Xiao Dai? 】
The director immediately cut the screen to the VG contestants' seat.
In the picture, Gu Xing was typing on the keyboard and chatting with his opponents. He then turned to look at the RNG players on the other side of the stage. A smile suddenly appeared on his originally dull face, and the smile gradually became more obvious.
Some VG fans in the audience noticed this scene and started shouting from their seats.
"This is Virtue's first playoff game, and he looks quite relaxed..." Zeyuan raised a doubt that had been bothering him for a long time, "Isn't he nervous?"
Zeyuan takes care of both LSPL and LPL at work, so his energy is spread out and he doesn't often commentate on VG games.
However, in the secondary league, he found that when many new players came on stage to play, their hands were shaking when they picked up paper cups to drink water, as if they were not receiving feedback.
The audience of LSPL is very few, only a few dozen people at most.
I don’t know how high the scale of watching LPL games will be!
Not to mention that the playoffs are still crucial and are a key battle that determines the team's performance!
But Zeyuan found that Gu Xing, who was participating in the playoffs for the first time, looked as usual and was still chatting and laughing with Mr. Hou next to him!
He recalled the first time he stepped onto the commentary stage. At that time, he was cautious and frightened. He couldn't even speak clearly. He often made slips of the tongue and had to correct them little by little.
Zeyuan has never seen such a weirdo as Gu Xing!
I remember commenting on a lot of VG games and I was used to it, "You can't generalize between people. Virtue players really don't have stage fright."
Gu Xing also felt stressed when he first came to power.
Just now he turned his head and looked at the RNG player bench, and his negative emotions disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Because Gu Xing discovered that the person opposite him was actually more nervous than himself!
Then he is still worried about the hammer?
"After confirming that the equipment is correct, please ask the VG top laner to start the game..."
Gu Xing, who still wanted to chat with his teammates for another 5 yuan, heard the referee's instructions behind him, and then he obediently shut his mouth.
Amidst the sonorous and powerful crisp sound, the BP panel appeared on the big screen at the scene!
The audience cheered non-stop, and the two commentators were also cheered!
"VG has the top ranking in the regular season, so they have the right to choose sides in the first, third, and fifth rounds of this semi-final. They first chose the blue side for themselves, and then banned Braum first!"
In this summer season, in this version of hard-to-support hand-to-hand combat, the shirtless anti-theft door uncle really stole the show, with both the ban rate and the selection rate reaching the top of the support position!
It has good protection ability, and can protect teammates no matter in the laning phase or in team battles.
Moreover, relying on the passive [Concussive Slam], the combat intensity of small-scale team battles is too high.
