Chapter 193: The Rhythm of Interchange(1/2)
The majority of people in the barrage are not optimistic about CP, and they don’t understand why CP would choose to actively change its formation.
As for some people who said that CP knew that they could not beat EDG, so they chose to avoid it and did not compete with the opponent's early lineup, they took it as a joke.
Can't beat EDG?
How did you win the first round?
Don't talk about fancy tricks, if you win, you win. This is an ironclad fact.
Isn’t it funny that I’m not as strong as you if I win?
Is the losing side stronger?
In other words, the win may have been a fluke, but what about CP’s record of 100% victory?
EDG has not done this. No matter how you look at it, it is nonsense to say that CP is not as strong as EDG!
Some people are fishing, and what they catch is fish, but what they don’t catch is mom, but there is really NT faith...
As for the fact that EDG has a higher winning rate, it is because both sides have similar strengths. Everyone feels that BP and lineup account for a large part of the reason.
In the last game, CP successfully used lineup and play style to illustrate that once the advantage is too great, it will be difficult for a lineup that is too late to come back because the opponent will not give you too much development time.
At least, the PAWN and DEFT on the board have not developed, and the game is over before it really reaches the later stage.
This time, once EDG's early rhythm becomes fierce, CP may face the same fate!
It will even be harder to beat!
Because skateboard shoes do not have the ability to clear lanes, and the role of Sword Lady in teamfights is not at the same level as Gnar, CP is at a disadvantage and is far more passive than the previous EDG.
...
The game officially begins.
When the two sides went online, Miller and Wawa were giving commentary.
"This is the first time Sword Queen has appeared in the LPL after the revision." Miller said: "Some people have used it in LCS and LEC, but the effect is not particularly easy to use. I feel that it is not as strong as the old version of Sword Queen."
The current Sword Girl is a new version of Sword Girl. Her ultimate move is no longer a flying and escaping person, but four flaws. After all the flaws are eliminated, a blood recovery array will appear.
"The old version of Sword Girl is very strong!" Watou said with a smile: "As long as this hero is well developed, he can directly attack the back row without any solution. If he doesn't have a golden body, he will die!"
The old version of Sword Girl is a back-row killer. It can be said to be a squishy killer. Her ultimate move can kill the C position in seconds. She has extremely strong harvesting and output capabilities!
At present, it seems that the new version of Sword Girl is not as useful as the old version, but the real damage ratio of the ultimate move gives him the ability to fight tank tanks, which is better than the old version.
In the old version, Sword Girl is great at killing crispy skin but can't hit meat. In the new version, Sword Girl is much better at killing tanks. I think they both have advantages.
However, the old version of Sword Girl is more extreme and sometimes has unexpected results.
"By the way, this is the captain's first appearance after the redesign. He has never been used in other regions!" Wawa said looking at Captain Chen Lang in the middle.
The S5 summer version is a very big update. Many heavy warriors have been updated and redone, and their talents and runes have been greatly changed. In order to give the game more ways to play, Riot Games.
"Yes!" Miller said, "I wonder what kind of surprises Lang Ge's captain can bring us."
The commentators were all amazed by Chen Lang's hero pool, it is indeed amazing.
It is very difficult to be able to play any hero and play very well. Very few players can do this. Most of them are only good at a few heroes or one category of heroes.
For example, some people can only play traditional magic cores and cannot play assassins. This is the limitation of the hero type.
"Brother Lang is the only one who dares to choose. He adapts to new heroes very quickly." Wawa said with a smile.
Being able to play is one thing, but having the courage to choose in a game is another. There is a big difference.
"The captain's team-fighting ability in the new version has been strengthened. The previous captain's laning ability was very strong, but the new version has weakened the laning ability." Miller said.
They still know the general changes in the version, but they are not as thorough as professional players.
In the past, the captain was very strong in laning, and basically got first blood with Ignite at level one.
There is a saying that describes it this way: a first-level captain has a second-level letter, and a third-level crocodile will kill you.
This is talking about powerful heroes at levels 1, 2 and 3. The new version of the captain's ultimate move adds an upgrade effect. You can save minions to save silver snake coins, and then you can choose an ultimate move to upgrade the effect. Teamfighting will be stronger than before.
There is also the E skill, which used to increase the attack speed of the group, but now it has become a barrel, making it more difficult.
The old way of playing is no longer possible. In the past, as long as the equipment was released, and the equipment was equipped in the later stage, one Q would be able to hit a thousand blood, and it was very powerful in laning, but it was not good in group fights, because the hands were too short, and the skills were very limited.
The new version pays more attention to team battles, and the damage of Q is not that high. It needs to be coordinated with the powder keg of E skill, and the operation and gameplay requirements are higher.
This version is a warrior version, but many teams are hesitant to easily try some heroes whose version changes are too drastic, because every game is related to results, and teams don't dare to gamble!
In the final analysis, the summer split and the new version update are too short, the team does not have much time to practice, and the players also have to break in. Everyone can only work hard for results first, and then talk about other things.
Otherwise, if you choose those heroes that have been changed, once you lose the game, it will be a big problem.
The European and American divisions are a little better, because their competition schedule and atmosphere are not as intense as LPL and LCK. They play one BO1 a day, so they have a lot of time to play, and the players are more relaxed, so they often choose some cool routines, even
Heroes with version changes.
Heavy warriors like Jian Ji and Nok have not yet been selected in the LPL. People have already played there. The main reason is that the competition in the LPL is too stressful. There are many teams and fierce competition. They have to compete for a playoff spot. Every time
Each victory is very important, and no one dares to try it lightly.
This is the case for OMG and M3. Both sides have the same number of wins, but there is a gap in the small round wins and losses. OMG will miss the playoffs. The small round wins and losses can determine the life and death of the team, not to mention the big game BO3!
Therefore, the results of LPL and LCK are better. Because they focus on results, competition is fierce, Europe and the United States are a bit like happy games, and their results are very poor every year.
How can you feel the pressure of playing in such a relaxed environment for a long time?
Once there is no pressure, the results will not be very good.
The commentators briefly talked about the advantages and disadvantages of both sides' lineups, and then focused on praising the CP team.
Because compared to other teams, CP is a very special team. They are young, confident and capable.
The most important thing is that they are different from all teams. They are very "bold" and they like to try new things. Whether it is heroes or playing styles, they are pleasing to the eye.
From the perspective of a commentator and a spectator, if you keep watching the game and see the same heroes for a long time, you will feel bored, but you won't when watching CP games, they always have unexpected choices.
You don’t just follow the popular heroes in the version, such as Juggernaut mid laner, Rambo mid laner...
There was also the game against LGD. In fact, among the audience and e-sports industry practitioners, that game was very exciting because both sides came up with new things, such as the Egg Cap Clockwork and the Egg Knife EZ.
This pioneering spirit is very worthy of praise and encouragement. CP is such a unique team that can always surprise people.
Therefore, the more games they play, the more viewers will like to watch their games and the more fans they will have.
When there are more and more fans, it means that the traffic and attention of this team are high, and the commentators will naturally be biased towards some very realistic things.
Although the commentary is from a public perspective, they also want to eat traffic. When commentating on a team's game, which team is more famous and has more fans, they will tend to favor which team, so that they can get the love of the fans of that team.
If there is no famous team, the audience will not be able to remember the team's players, so the commentators will naturally not pay too much attention to it. This is human nature and reality.
CP was in a state of being ignored from the beginning. They relied on their own strength to fight their way up step by step and gained many fans and attention.
When Miller and Wawa first started commentating on CP's games, they didn't praise them much. Instead, they praised their opponents more because their opponents were more famous...
It is indeed a bit pitiful to say, but this kind of competition is like this. Even in sports, the famous ones are only the champion players and the unknown athletes. Have you heard of it?
Has anyone followed them?
There is no way, the spotlight of competitive games is always on the winner, and they can also bring greater benefits to the brand. As long as they are good enough, there will always be a day when they are well-known.
Therefore, for the competitive industry, performance is king.
CP has perfectly verified this truth along the way. From being unknown to everyone today, it was all achieved with strength!
"There was still no fighting between the two sides at the beginning," Wawa said.
Miller nodded and said: "Although CP is a late-stage lineup, the ability of the first-level team is not bad. The early combat capabilities of Niutou and Kalista are still very strong."
"I think this CP lineup must have an advantage in the bottom lane and stand out in the mid-term to create a certain amount of development time for the team's mid and upper lane. Otherwise, CP will be very passive."
After Chen Lang came online, he still played very proactively at level 1. Although he was a melee hero, he was not afraid of wind up because his Q skill was relatively strong in the early laning.
Although it has been weakened, it is still possible to defeat a mage.
When his Q skill is ready, he will play with the opponent. Chen Lang did not choose to bring the Thunder talent, but chose to bring the Grasp of Immortality!
The version of National Thunder, but the captain can really not bring this talent, because he is not the type of continuous output following A, but a hero who plays a wave of bursts.
Even in mid-to-late team battles, the captain relies more on the barrels of EQ combos to deal damage, and the probability of triggering thunder is not high. Only ultimate moves can trigger thunder.
But the captain's ultimate skill is not used to deal damage when playing in a group, but is a skill used to retain people.
It is more comfortable to bring the Immortal Grip in the lane, and it can be used with the Q skill to restore blood, especially when the lane is a long-handed mage. The captain has a strong ability to bring the Immortal Lai in the lane, and he is not afraid of being consumed at all.
PAWN saw that Chen Lang always stepped forward to Q him, so he was not to be outdone, and exchanged blood with the opponent, and then used the Q skill to deal damage.
His talent is Thunder Lord, which can be triggered by hitting the opponent three times with basic attacks and skills. You will definitely make money by exchanging blood, so you can't be a coward.
Soon, both of them lost half of their blood.
"They fought so fiercely at level one!" Miller exclaimed when he saw PAWN and Chen Lang starting to exchange blood at level one, without even adding troops.
"The captain has been weakened after all." Wawa said: "If it were the previous version of the captain, PAWN would not dare to exchange blood with him like this."
The former captain's level 1 ferociousness was no joke, he was indeed very powerful!
There was no conflict in the first three levels, and both sides were developing steadily. However, the CP of the later lineup did have some advantages in the lane.
To be continued...
