Chapter 172: There Was a Colossus Under the Ground
Xingdao’s research video is certainly not about imitating the big go-bang’s meditation training method.
I just want to see how far the LCK division has developed its tactical system.
What's more surprising is that.
After Galio was redesigned in version 7.6, no team used it.
In addition to the traditional Titans and Trolls, a series of new top lane heroes such as small murlocs, big bugs, Mundo, and Rambo have been developed.
Considering the strength of mid laner Galio.
Xing Dao simply took the rank game played by the trumpet as an example and asked edg to study this style of play.
After all, after Galio's redesign, his W skill has an additional magic shield, which is very suitable for fighting mage heroes.
Tandu is not inferior to other phantom gods.
The R skill [Hero Appearance] in most of the maps can be linked with junglers, roaming top laners, and assists.
Standing in the middle line, directly intimidating the big and small dragons.
If you move a few steps to both sides, you can land on the red and blue buffs in the opposite jungle area.
Coupled with the large-scale knock-up and subsequent strong control, he claims to be second in a small-scale team battle. There is absolutely no other mid laner who dares to claim first.
"Mid laner Galio?"
The factory director thought for a moment and figured out the advantages and disadvantages: "The AP equipment is not easy to deal with output, the meat is not harmful, and the risk of team battles is very high. I just have an extra hand of support, and I don't think it will be of much use."
"Cough cough cough..." Ah Shui felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
The so-called "high risk in team battles" means.
It's just that it's easy to die suddenly in the bottom lane.
Although Ah Shui matured quickly in the laning stage, he was less and less educated by veteran players.
But when it comes to group play, the probability of sudden death has not been reduced.
From the beginning of the spring split to now, edg has lost several small games.
When using Galio to move midfield, there is a key issue to consider, and that is whether the player in the ad position can support the output required by the entire team.
The current Ah Shui is obviously not that qualified.
"No, no, no, Brother Changzi, you are one-sided."
Xing Dao shook his finger: "With Galio in the middle, it's more than just multiple supports for us. You and Tian Ye can be freed up to choose a map-controlling jungler like Mantis, and an auxiliary hero with strong ability to fight and protect rows."
"You invade, roam the fields, I support you, plus Galio falls from the sky..."
"Ouch!" The factory director instantly had a picture in his mind.
Meiko actually doesn't like it, and isn't even good at hard support. She keeps choosing it just to fit in with the lineup.
If you can get soft support, your laning strength will definitely increase.
There is also more room for team battles.
In the field.
The factory director doesn't just want stability.
With the additional rights to use a series of heroes such as Mantis, Spider, Leopard Girl, and even the unique Widow, the performance will be significantly improved compared to the fixed barrel Reksai.
Compared with personal ability.
What's more important is the enriched system.
simply put.
The current edg is just relying on the top laner to compete in the game.
There is no problem in being the king and dominating in LPL.
On the stage of the World Championships, whether we can defeat other strong teams with such straightforward tactics is actually an unknown that is not very optimistic.
With mid laner Galio, several effective new lineups can be derived from it.
Speed up and enrich the attacking rhythm.
You can also compete for some versions of powerful heroes, allowing one leg to jump and become two or three legs to support together.
"The truth is this. The premise is that Ah Shui can live stably."
Meiko came in to discuss: "If he disappears when the team is picked up, it will be useless no matter how good the previous fight is."
"I'll try not to get into trouble." Ah Shui didn't dare to speak too fully.
"It's not completely fault-tolerant." Xing Dao smiled: "I can use ad heroes on the top lane."
Now that it’s brought up for discussion.
Xing Dao naturally thought carefully.
Is it easy for Ah Shui to die suddenly?
Judging from the understanding of the current version, it is indeed a very difficult problem and there is basically no solution.
but.
Push your thinking back a few seasons.
Vayne, Skate Shoes, and Lucian can all provide sufficient sustained output.
You can also sway to confuse your opponent during the ban/pick phase, trick him into making a targeted pick, and then backhand to counter.
Just say a few words.
edg Everyone else fell into thinking.
Today, hitting the road is no longer just the domain of frontline heroes.
Team-fighting options such as Kennen and Rambo, as well as pure damage-dealing mages like Ryze and Vampire, all occupy a place in the top lane.
It doesn't seem impossible to switch to ad.
After discussion at a meeting.
It was up to Abramovich to make the decision, let the players use the heroes they imagined, and try them out in training matches.
Anyway, with edg's ranking, they are standing in the semi-finals of the playoffs, waiting for work. They have more than ten days of rest and spend half of their time practicing new things, which will not affect their original combat effectiveness.
April 18th.
The first round of the playoffs begins.
The rules are based on group rankings and staggered battles.
The fourth in Group A will play against the third in Group B first. The winner will face the second in Group A, and then the winner will be the first in Group B to qualify for the finals.
As the fourth-ranked team, it still needs to concede a win in the first round, which means it will start 0-1 by default.
At 2 p.m., ig plays against snake.
At 6 p.m., omg plays against im.
The result of the first game was not unexpected. Although snake had the last record of 2-0 edg, but when Brother Crystal's physical condition was not enough to support the entire bo5, he was defeated by ig 3-1 (actually 2-1).
The score was easily defeated.
The second battle was a bit outrageous.
IM actually furiously killed OMG, and as the fourth in the group in the regular season, they counterattacked and reached the second place.
Father and son work together to encircle and suppress us.
but.
This season, the classification between LPL teams is more obvious.
With IM's lineup configuration, we can play at most a dozen omg who are not normal from management to coaching.
Faced with the introduction of the former Samsung coach Redmi, and several of the main players being at the top of the league, WE basically had no ability to resist.
Easily carried away 3-0.
April 22, 2pm.
edg finally ushered in the first game of the playoffs, facing the WE team ranked second in Group A.
"Hello, audience friends, welcome to the 2017 League of Legends Professional League, the post-season semi-finals."
"I am Zeyuan."
"I remember."
"I am Su Xiaoyan."
Three commentators appeared in front of the camera at the same time.
"Today's game should be very exciting."
Zeyuan made a tacit statement: "EDG, as the S6 champion, has maintained its strong strength this season. The new WE team has returned and is also standing in the first echelon of the LPL league."
"Relatively speaking, the five of us are all newcomers, so they are a little immature."
remember's analysis: "But they are in the second round, have one more chance to warm up than EDG, and have not been forced to do anything. It is possible to maintain a better state."
"That's right." Zeyuan nodded: "The players on both sides are ready, let's look forward to this bo5 showdown!"
