The schedule of the third round of the regular season has a total of five weeks. It has been two weeks now. The 6 teams in Group S have played against each other and have a winner and loser.
Tianhuan 2:1 Jingzhe, 2:0 Huowen, won 2 games, and the margin of victory was 3 points.
Beimu 2:1 Yueying, 2:0 Ice Soul, won 2 games, and the difference is 3 points.
The two teams tied for first place.
Jingzhe 2:1 Huowen, 1:2 Tianhuan, 1 win, 0 points difference.
Ice Soul 2:1 Yueying, 0:2 Beimu, won 1 game, the difference is -1 point.
Both teams have a 1-1 record.
Moon Shadow lost two games in a row, with a margin of -2.
Huowen also lost two games in a row, with a margin of -3.
Judging from the current ranking, the probability of Tianhuan entering the winner group (top four) is very large.
This season, because the time between Xie Weiyu and Xu Zhuo was too short, Yueying was eliminated from Group S in the second stage. Although they returned to Group S after that, the rhythm 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 very hardworking and often practices in private, but the other teams in Group S are also working hard. It is unlikely that Yueying's current performance will be in the winner group.
The loser bracket is not without hope. In the history of the professional league, there are many teams that rushed to the finals from the loser bracket. There are still 2 months of adjustment time after the end of the regular season. Everything is unknown.
Huowen's current performance is not good. As a mid-core team, Zhou Jiawen has been targeted too much by himself, and the rhythm will collapse if the mid-field linkage fails.
In the third week, the schedule of Group S is Tianhuan vs Binghun, Beimu vs Jingzhe, and Yueying vs Huowen.
If Tianhuan can win the game in the hands of Binghun, it will be a 3-game winning streak, and then even a 2-game losing streak can be firmly in the upper bracket. The playoffs are based on the elimination system. The team in the upper bracket has two lives and has a better chance of winning the prize.
The next afternoon, Coach Lin called the players together for a meeting: "Ice Soul was the champion team last season. Although they are now fourth in Group S, the strength of this team is still there, especially the team battle, which is very strong."
Ye Shaoyang went to the scene to watch the finals in person last season. The team battle of Binghun really cooperated tacitly. The five people seemed to be twisted into a rope.
The captain of Ice Soul, 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 District, and his overall situation is quite impressive.
Coach Lin said: "The Ice Soul team's advantage lies in teamfights, but its shortcomings are also obvious. They are not strong in the early stage, and neither the shooter nor the mid-unit is a star player, and there is a gap in their personal strength compared to the first-line double-C. That's why their results this season are not as good as S9."
Chi Shuo analyzed: "Their teamfighting routines have been thoroughly studied by the major teams. Before playing a team, if a certain way is broken, they can't delay the big late stage."
Ye Shaoyang said: "The day before yesterday, in the match between Beimu and Binghun, I think the idea can be used for reference, and I can directly play with them in the early stage, so that Binghun's C position cannot develop, try to play a small group of 3 or 4 people, and avoid 5 People's Group."
Ice Soul is the strongest group of 5 people.
But small-scale team battles are not necessarily better than others. For example, in the classic Zhongye 2V2 small team battles, Tianhuan's Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang are almost invincible, and even Huowen's Zhongye was blown up, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang Going to fight with Ice Soul Nakano 2V2, the odds of winning must be very high.
It is still unknown who will win the 4V4 team battle between the middle and the jungle in the bottom road and the shooting support.
If it is 5v5 directly, Tianhuan is easy to lose.
Ice Soul is a typical team-fighting team. When it is 5v5, it is like 5 people's brain waves are synchronized. Frozen Soul has never appeared in cooperation with other teams, such as being out of touch.
Coach Lin looked at Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo: "You are right, after careful research, the coaching staff summed up more than a dozen games of Binghun this season, and we found a rule - the games that Binghun won, the average time was 25 minutes. . The average time of lost games is only 20 minutes. The difference of 5 minutes is enough to explain the problem.”
"That is to say, Ice Souls can basically win in the late stage when they drag on for 25 minutes, and the winning rate is over 80%. Instead of letting them drag it to the late stage, they can directly capture their way 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 clear-cut team is easy to target.
Last season, the Ice Soul Finals took out a particularly novel Ling Rabbit support system, which caught the opponent off guard and entered the World Championship as the number one in China. This season, their spirit rabbit will be in the Ban position.
Ye Shaoyang asked, "Do we need a Ban Ling Rabbit to fight Ice Soul?"
Coach Lin said: "I just want to discuss this point with everyone." He paused and joked: "Shaoyang, shouldn't you use 'go the opponent's way, let the opponent have no way to go' again?"
Ye Shaoyang coughed lightly: "This time it won't work. The spirit rabbit system is very special and requires a long time to practice. We have never practiced this system at all, and a week of training from scratch is not enough. Let Qu Jiang take the spirit rabbit... "
Qu Jiang said confidently: "I can lead Bengsanlu."
Everyone: "… "
Then don't take it!
Ling Rabbit is an auxiliary with a very special mechanism. The ultimate move of "Three Caves of Crafty Rabbit" can create three rabbit nests on the map and instantly teleport teammates there. The spirit rabbit system of the Ice Soul team is essentially a strategy of operation + guerrilla warfare. Chen Qianhua, as an assistant with a strong overall view, uses the spirit rabbit to bring the rhythm to the audience and summon teammates to push the tower crazily.
Opponents will fall into the embarrassment of "wanting to hit them but can't find them" and being controlled by others everywhere.
This system is really hard to crack.
Coach Lin asked, "Do you think [Ling Rabbit] needs to be Banned for this support?"
Ye Shaoyang said: "I don't think it's necessary. It's still in the group stage of the regular season. It doesn't matter if you lose once or twice. If you release the strong system on the opposite side, you should be accumulating game experience?"
Chi Shuo agreed: "I think so too. Ice Soul's Rabbit system has been banned for a whole season, but in fact, the operation of this system is very flexible. We can 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 seriously: "Well, I've seen a lot of Team Chen's game videos. He really has a lot of ideas about how to check the eye position and grasp the timing of teamfights."
The players all said this, and Coach Lin smiled with relief: "It's best for you to think like this. In the future, if we go to the World Championships, we will meet more powerful enemies. It is a good thing to train troops in advance."
This sentence made everyone's chest warm slightly, as if the stage of the World Series was beckoning to them.
—Yes, Tianhuan’s goal this season is to put it in the World Series!
Take a long-term view!
In the group stage, in order to win, it is not necessary to ban the strong system of the domestic team desperately. You ban the strongest lineup of others, even if you win, do you guarantee that you will never meet again in the future
There are so many lineup systems in this game, and there is no end to Ban.
On the contrary, if this time, I would fight the Soul Rabbit system with Frozen Soul, and in the future in the World Championships, I would encounter teams from other countries using this kind of operation and guerrilla warfare. Tianhuan would not have experience, and would he know how to solve it
The players and coaches exchanged glances, and they all 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 give Ban's support to the strong team, just to reduce the pressure on the bottom lane. However, when I play Binghun, I will There will be no more Ban support positions, I will release all the supports from Team Chen, the pressure on your bot lane will be huge, is it alright?"
Qu Jiang bite the bullet and said, "No problem, I'll try my best to protect Xiaoxing."
Cheng Xing scratched his head and said, "Then I, I try to live as much as possible?"
There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
As we all know, the role of support is very critical when shooting and assisting in the bottom lane. Sometimes, a key big move can save the shooter's life; and when the support is just right, it can also help the shooter take down the head.
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 bot lane more. Bing Soul must be played around the bot lane, and their supports cannot be allowed to wander frequently."
The assisted walking of the ice soul will make people uncomfortable. Chen Qianhua is like a pair of eyes looking at the overall situation. He will clearly know the movement of the opposing jungler and mid laner, report the position to his teammates, and prevent the opponent from arresting people in advance.
With such an assistant, it's easy for the jungler to catch people without success.
In the early stage, assist the walk, see the vision clearly, avoid teammates being caught, and in the later stage, group together and destroy the opponent - this is a common routine for Binghun.
There are two ways for Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang to arrest people.
The first is to use invisible heroes to make the ice soul's assistant invisible; the second is to use heroes who can cross obstacles to launch a surprise attack from a distance where the ice soul has no vision.
The two exchanged glances, and said tacitly, "Shuangfei?"
Coach Lin nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! We also think that it is very suitable to use the double fly combination to fight the ice soul! However, the ice soul may lose the double fly. After all, the two of you have lost their international server vests."
Chi Shuo said: "Ice souls don't necessarily ban double-flying. Personally, I think they are more likely to ban stealth thieves, blood-clothed assassins, such as stealth junglers, or ban [Shadow Warlock], a stealth magic thorn."
Ye Shaoyang said with a smile: "If they ban both, I still have an idea."
The teammates all looked back at him, Cheng Xing excitedly said: "Brother Yang, please tell me, 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, have you forgotten?"
Chi Shuo understood in seconds: "Bounty Warlock System?"
Ye Shaoyang nodded: "Yes, we can also use the game that Jingzhe defeated us!"
Coach Lin looked at Ye Shaoyang with mixed feelings.
—Learning from opponents and applying what they have learned is also an essential quality for a strong team.
In the last game of playing the fire pattern, Tianhuan learned the positional warfare system of the fire pattern, and the effect was very good after improving it.
You can also learn Jingzhe's Bounty Warlock system to improve it when you fight Ice Soul!
This is the case in professional leagues, learning from each other's strengths, summarizing experience, and making progress slowly.
Tianhuan has developed a lot of middle and wild linkage routines by himself, 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 a powerful enemy in the World Championship, you can adapt to the situation and find a way to deal with it as quickly as possible!
Lin Feng said excitedly: "Okay, it's settled! I will write down the hero configuration for several plans for fighting Ice Soul, and everyone should hurry up and practice."
7 days passed quickly.
The third week of the competition venue is arranged in Glacier City. It is already the beginning of June, and the average temperature in this northern city, which is famous for its snowy scenery, is still around 22 degrees, and the climate is very comfortable.
When everyone came to the hotel, they happened to meet 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 at him: "Well, we just arrived."
Chen Qianhua looked at Ye Shaoyang with very gentle eyes: "Hello, Lieyang."
When they met up close, Ye Shaoyang found that the Beta captain smiled softly and spoke very gracefully. The four Alpha players of the Ice Soul team respected him. It seems that Team Chen is indeed a very attractive player.
Ice Soul was on the verge of disbanding from the S8 season, to the S9 counterattack and won the domestic championship...
Chen Qianhua has become a legend in the league.
Ye Shaoyang admired the player who turned the tide and said politely, "Team Chen is good."
Chen Qianhua joked: "Can you kill me a few times less in tomorrow's game?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "You can choose a special support, and I won't be able to impress you!"
Although he admires this gentle captain, he will not show mercy to anyone on the field.
