Chapter 174-Mercury can solve the flash? Who taught you that?
On the big screen, the scene where the excavator's mercury flashed appeared.

Because the team battle scenes were so shocking, the director's camera was always focused on the front battlefield.

The audience only knew that the excavator grabbed the big dragon, but they didn't know how he did it.

Now that I have watched the replay, I know that in an unknown corner, the excavator quietly accomplished a great thing! !

"This... Mercury solved the knockback??"

"The effect of Lee Sin's ultimate skill just appeared and the excavator flashed back??"

"Did he predict and flashed ahead of time and kicked the blind monk wrong?"

"No, I just slowed down the video. The excavator just changed direction in the air."

The audience in the live broadcast room were talking about it, as this was an operation that had never appeared in professional competitions.

It can even be said that it goes against the game mechanics that they understand!
In League of Legends, the knock-up control effect cannot be removed no matter what. That's why they were so shocked when the excavator used flash in mid-air.

In the IG player seat, the referee also asked the same question.

"The knockback was cancelled by Mercury, is it a bug?"

"No, in addition to knocking up, Lee Sin's ultimate also has a suppression effect similar to Malzahar's ultimate. Mercury can only remove the suppression, but not the knock-up. If he is kicked away, he will still be kicked away. It's just that during this flight, he can use some instant displacement skills, such as Zed's W and ultimate, Ezreal's Arcane Transition, or Flash..."

Yuan Shen’s words made even the IG team a little stunned.

The level of League of Legends players and players is improving every year, and the operating ceiling is no exception.

Invincible in S5, is he still invincible in S6?
not necessarily.

All conditions are changing.

Being the first is the most difficult.

But imitation is not that difficult.

No one will say that this combo was developed by me and you are not allowed to use it.

The prosperity of League of Legends depends on the support of every player.

In Yuan Shen's impression, the first time Mercury's ability to knock back an opponent appeared in front of the world was during the S6 World Championship, when Faker and Bang each used it once.

However, it did not cause much of a sensation at the time, because it had already been used in the ranking and caused a heated discussion, and the official also came out to refute the rumors.

This is an operation that even the designers had not anticipated.

Designers are actually ordinary players. They can only analyze a hero’s curve based on the data area to analyze whether the hero is strong or not. Only professional players and high-scoring kings of the road who specialize in a certain hero can truly develop the hero to the extreme.

Just like Insec's roundhouse kick, it amazed everyone when it appeared, and within a day it was imitated by players all over the world.

Insec may not be the first player to use the spinning kick, but he is definitely the one who brought this move to the world.

So he is called the founder.

Pause, still going on.

The technical staff in the background started testing immediately. They first checked the game data and found no abnormalities. Then they started the actual test.

Since there is no training mode now, they have to open a custom one to test.

Each side chose a Lee Sin and a Jarvan IV respectively, and it took seven minutes of development before they reached level six.

On the other side, there was a Lee Sin and an EZ, who also reached level six.

If the operation fails, you may have to repeat this tedious process again.

So Yuan Shen must be allowed to do the operation.

When Yuan Shen came to the backstage, Fu Manduo and Homme were already in place.

Watched by coaches and staff from both teams, Yuan Shen replicated the move.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yuan Shen was not nervous.

This operation is not difficult if you are prepared, but the reaction is difficult.

He used EZ's Arcane Leap and Excavator's Mercury to successfully reproduce the previous operation, proving that this was a normal game mechanism, not a bug.

The truth came to light, the shock and confusion faded away, and excitement and joy rose in everyone's hearts.

As a spectator and gamer, what could be more joyful than witnessing a god-level operation?

This is undoubtedly a milestone operation, just like the blind monk's roundhouse kick that created the world, it will be recorded in the history of League of Legends.

Amid the applause from the on-site staff, Yuan Shen stood up and prepared to go back to complete the competition.

"You are very strong. I originally thought that Looper was the perfect top laner in my mind, but I didn't expect you to do better than him..."

Homme's words made Yuan Shen a little stunned.

They had met each other in last year's World Championship, and Brand's iron-smelting playstyle was perfected by Homme, and was finally used by them.

"Thank you."

Yuan Shen nodded. Homme was the top laner of the first generation of Samsung. He later retired and became a coach. Looper can be considered his successor.

As a veteran top laner, Homme has always been good at coaching top lane players.

Whether it's Looper, Long, or Tui Ge and Zoom, their levels have improved greatly after he took over as coach.

"If you play jungle, it would be a waste of your talent, even though TheShy's talent is also very high."

Homme still feels a bit regretful.

Yuan Shen is now the perfect top laner template in his mind, but he chose to play jungle.

It’s simply not doing your job properly!
"Yuan Shen is also very strong in the jungle."

Fu Manduo happily took over the conversation.

When Yuan Shen first changed his position, he was a little reluctant, but as the game progressed, he felt more and more that Yuan Shen's decision was the right one.

In the jungle position, Yuan Shen's command talent and overall view can be better demonstrated.

In terms of operation alone, TheShy is not much worse than Yuan Shen, and Yuan Shen helps TheShy make up for the final shortcoming.

The combination of these two people is close to the configuration of Yuan Shen + Kakao. In fact, their upper limit is even higher!

……

Yuan Shen returned to the court and worked with his teammates to end the game.

The commentators also received the message from backstage.

"This move cannot be called Mercury's Knock-Away, but Mercury's Kick. If you are prepared, it shouldn't be difficult to replicate this move. Audience friends can call their friends to try it together."

"But once this operation is carried out, the blind monk player will probably cry."

Longhair laughed.

The jungle hero Lee Sin has always been popular in the rankings and has been ranked T1 for many years.

This time there is a way to restrain Lee Sin's ultimate, so his appearance rate in the national server should decrease.

The first game was over, and netizens were still discussing Mercury's kick and the explosion damage of the plane.

However, compared with the innovation in mechanism, the shock caused by the damage of the aircraft pales in comparison.

However, some players who are proficient in aircraft still feel that they have found the direction.

"This damage is too outrageous, is it possible that someone will die if they are attacked once?"

"This rubbish Xiye made me laugh to death. He just stood there for ten seconds and said nothing."

"Do you want to know more about magic critical strike?"

"It's normal, right? Syndra's magic resistance is only 0.5, and her equipment doesn't have magic resistance. Even at level 9, her magic resistance is only 450 points, not even worth . Corki has magic penetration boots, I don't know what they're bragging about."

"You'll have to ask Master Yan. He boasted for a long time but was shot in one second. How funny."

……

The first game was really suspenseful before the last team fight.

Because the economic gap between the two sides has never reached more than two thousand.

The fight just for the little dragon was so intense that both sides suffered heavy casualties. No one was in good shape to fight the big dragon, and no one wiped out the opponent.

But in this crucial team battle, the excavator grabbed the big dragon and cooperated with the corsair to kill Syndra in seconds.

It really is the final word!
In the second game, WE replaced Khan and Conan.

However, it is obvious that neither Xiye nor Condi has come out of the shadow of the loss in the first game.

Homme also understood the situation well and took the initiative to select a lineup for WE that would perform well in the mid-to-late game, hoping that they could adjust quickly.

Unfortunately, the mentality of the four little ones has not been tempered yet. IG, which came to the red side, established a great advantage in the early stage, and ended the game with a wave of dragon fight in 23 minutes.

……

The schedule for the spring season is not very long.

This year's competition system is very compact.

Each team has to play at least two BO3 games every week, and some even have to play three BO3 games a week.

The high-intensity competition has allowed every LPL team to quickly adapt to this new version and make rapid progress.

Weak teams make unexpected moves and suffer upsets, strong teams’ understanding of the version stagnates, and mid-level teams adapt to the version and make rapid progress. These things happen all the time.

The entire spring season, including the playoffs, only lasts for three months.

In mid-April, with the end of the last regular season match between IG and RNG in the same group, the 2016 Spring Regular Season officially ended.

The rankings for groups A and B are officially released.

There are two groups, A and B, with a total of twelve teams, six teams in each group. Only the top four are eligible to enter the playoffs, while the last team in Group A and B will have to play in the relegation match.

First up is Group A. The first-placed IG has a horrible record. Although they lost some small games, they have maintained an undefeated record in the big games.

Sixteen consecutive wins!

Zzitai and TheShy took turns to play, and the flexible switching of the two tactical systems made some teams that tried to use unexpected tricks to defeat IG suddenly fall behind and fall in the third game of life and death.

In addition to the reputation of never working overtime, IG has also gained another nickname: the king of life and death games.

Following closely behind is EDG, which only lost two games to IG.

He is a phantom god in civil wars and has maintained a undefeated record against all teams except IG.

The third place is RNG.

After the loss at the beginning of the season, RNG quickly adjusted its tactics.

The bottom lane relies on Uzi's personal ability to withstand pressure and pull, while Mata and Xiangguo's jungler and support work together to drive the overall situation.

But for RNG's three lines, no matter which two they protect, there is always someone who can carry, and the remaining one can also ensure that the collapse is not too serious.

Because of the diverse tactical system, RNG officially found its own way and played very well in the second half of the division.

Ranked fourth in Group A is the Snake Team, which lost Flandre.

Tong Yang has grown a lot after being hidden in S5. Although he completed his redemption in the World Championship, it was only in the Snake team that he truly regained his original style of "Tong Invincible".

However, the S6 version no longer belongs to the top lane.

The gap between the mid, jungle and support meant that the Snake team did not perform very well in this version.

The teams in Group B that successfully advanced to the playoffs are WE, QG, LGD, and VG.

OMG, the dark force that once dominated the league, not only failed to make it to the playoffs, but was even worse than HYG and had to play in the relegation match.

This also made many 59E fans sigh, and many people chose to stop being fans at this time.

OMG is a team that has maintained the tradition of having an all-Chinese lineup for fourteen consecutive years, but in the S6 Spring Split, it completely fell into the quagmire.
