Chapter 191 - Impersonating Faker, making fun of SKT
The peak of the canyon is now open.

On the day of the server opening, anchors from all major live streaming platforms changed the names of their rooms to very attractive titles such as "Rush for Points in the Canyon of Heroes", "Rush to First in the Canyon in Solo Row", "Hunting Professional Players in the Canyon of Heroes", etc.

The audience clicked in with great anticipation. Only players of Diamond 1 or above in each region are eligible to go to the super server. Everyone expected that the quality should be very good, just like a battle between gods.

however……

“Is this really the top of the canyon where everyone has Diamond 1???”

"It looks like the anchor is bullying the noobs in a gold league! Isn't this too overwhelming?"

"Why was this Lucian picked? To play jungle?"

There was a lot of discussion in the barrage, and many people were disappointed and worried about the level of this server.

With this level of skill, you still want to cheat Korean clothes?
Give me a break!

The high-end games in E1 are more interesting than this.

From what I've seen in the Ranked games in the Canyon of Heroes these days, not a single game was a stalemate with gods showing off, but rather a one-sided massacre.

Even for some King of the Road anchors, playing Ranked in the Canyon of Heroes is extremely difficult. It is common to see them killing their opponents in the previous game, but being beaten by them in the next game. It is also normal to lose the whole night if they are unlucky.

"It's normal. The server has just been opened and the ranks haven't been completely differentiated yet. Everyone starts at Diamond Level. To be honest, many Diamond Level 1 players in the suburbs are only at the level of Diamond Level 5 in District 1. Sometimes they are not as strong as Platinum Level 1 players. It will be fine after a while."

Yuan Shen was eating lunch while checking on Plandon and October's captain.

He is not praising the first area. There is no difference between the major servers in the low-level segments, but from the diamond rank onwards, Ionia is indeed stronger than other servers. Not to mention that most of the other servers have actors. The Master and King groups are occupied by the crew and the gold content is too low.

The example is Hei Jiaji from Electric Three.

Moreover, there is a gap even between the strongest king and the extraordinary master.

He cooks like a master, and that’s not an exaggeration.

Every hundred points above the Master level is equivalent to a small rank difference. There is a huge difference between the top player in the Strongest King ranking and the Master Goalkeeper with zero victory points.

The first-ranked player can easily kill enemies in the Master Division.

However, if the top ranked player and the master goalkeeper are put together in a platinum game to bully the weak players, the outcome is uncertain.

In a nutshell, it depends on which side has more orphans sent.

Sometimes the outcome of a game does not depend on your strength, but on the strength of the player against you and whether he gives you a chance.

This is the current situation at the top of the canyon.

Players from all major servers start from the same starting line, so the quality of their ranks is naturally uneven.

In a Ranked game of Canyon of Heroes, some people may be King level, some may only be Platinum level, and there are even some stupid players who level up to Diamond I in the area just to join in the fun and then apply for the qualification to compete in Canyon of Heroes.

As for the idea that boyfriends are the best and their girlfriends are just idiots who go online to fish in reverse, there are also quite a few.

The server was in chaos, and Orphan's Peak became famous.

……

"Damn, these little brats are really idiots."

He slammed the table and cursed.

Because of the version enhancement, he played mid lane instead of top lane in the Canyon of Heroes.

But, what kind of teammates are these?

The Canyon of Heroes, is it to test the players’ mentality?

If the official released a questionnaire now, it is estimated that most professional players would criticize the Canyon of Heroes.

Too shabby.

He is also a big player in the national server rank, but his win rate in the Canyon of Heroes is less than half, and he is only hovering around Diamond 1.

You know, this is a super account given by the official, so it is very easy to get to the top.

But there is no way.

After much effort, I managed to raise the top laner by roaming, but ended up getting killed by the 4-1 team when the score was 0-2? ?
The well-fed ADC died suddenly several times in team fights.

Just after 20 minutes, the 0-11 Minotaur simply gave up and didn't want to play anymore.

What you are playing is not a game, but your dying mother!
After taking a few deep breaths, Ziti looked around and looked at his teammates who were still training.

Now is the time for free rank. Since the Canyon of Heroes is the training ground for major MSI teams, the entire IG team is also playing in the Canyon of Heroes at this time.

"What a shame! My teammates are so bad."

Ming clicked to end the game helplessly.

In the last game, he had just entered the game and was scolded by the ADC for a long time because he had a different idea. He refuted a few words, and then his teammates also scolded him.

Totally mind-blowing.

On the other side, Jack used his fingers very quickly and sprayed four people at once. Not only did he stay in the middle of the fountain, he also bought six Goddess Tears to mourn for his teammates' families.

On the contrary, Rookie and Yuan Shen both gained points very quickly and have already entered the top ten in the canyon.

Besides luck, there is also a question of style.

Jack and Ming are both commanding players, and the bottom lane relies heavily on cooperation.

The roaming and raising-dad tactics that Zzitai was good at have now completely become a raising-orphan tactic.

All three were a little frustrated.

As for the support, he could have roamed around and driven the tempo in the mid, bottom and jungle, but there was some ADC that was extremely bad-tempered and would not hesitate to defend the tower even when he couldn't win in the lane, and would insist that the support go to jail with him.

When faced with teammates like this, no matter how good Ming's mentality is, he can't hold it in.

As for Rookie, this version is really suitable for him.

Zed, Leblanc, Syndra...

He can play all these heroes.

His personal strength is not weak to begin with, and with the version enhancement, he can carry the overall situation by killing through various lines.

The assassin hero that he is good at is also completely liberated.

Of course, the one with the most terrifying ability to gain points is Yuan Shen.

Among the orphans in the three lanes, Yuan Shen can always accurately find a teammate worthy of trust to help him.

If it really doesn't work, Yuan Shen has done this before, using Graves to extract dirty minion lanes to speed up his own development.

However, after his teammates knew he was Yuan Shen, they would actively ask him to take up more resources to help them take off. Sometimes, some with bad tempers would even be scolded by their teammates, which made them envious.

In addition to jungle, Yuan Shen also plays top lane.

This made the audience in the live broadcast room burst into tears and cheered for the return of Big Daddy.

Top lane: Kennen, Ekko, and Divine Soul.

Jungle: Kindred, Graves, Ekko.

All of them are powerful and highly proficient heroes in this version.

Yuan Shen's winning rate is as high as 77%, which is about twice that of Zizi.

When Zizi came over to see, Yuan Shen had just started playing.

The teammates are also very powerful.

G2's mid laner Perkz, and SKT's bottom lane duo.

After just a short look, his expression turned serious.

This Bang, this is a huge improvement, right?

There have been some personnel changes in SKT this season.

Top laner MaRin left the team and was replaced by LCK veteran Duke.

Jungler Bengi is firmly in the driver's seat, and he is replaced by LSPL abandoned player Blank.

SKT's dominance in the spring season was not as strong as in S5. They lost unexpectedly to KZ, the bottom team in LCK, and were swept.

In addition to the problem of new members getting used to each other, there are also several powerful teams with amazing strength emerging in LCK.

For example, the Tiger team changed its name from KOO.Tiger to ROX.Tiger.

For example, the Samsung SSG team after the reorganization.

SKT stumbled all the way and ranked only third in the regular season points.

But it was not until the playoffs that SKT finally showed its amazing strength.

However, the most carrying player in the team was not Faker as expected by the audience, but Bang.

Faker is still in good shape, but Bang is performing even better.

……

"Jun-sik, we're at Yuan's end."

Wolf said cautiously.

Since the end of the S5 World Championship, Yuan Shen has become Bang's nightmare.

The shattered LCK dream of three consecutive championships made the audience angry and eager to find an outlet for their emotions.

The first person to bear the brunt was not MaRin who was laning against Yuan Shen. After all, Yuan Shen was so strong in the top position that even they had to admit this fact. So Bang and Faker became the scapegoats...

Bang, in particular, became a national sinner in the eyes of LCK audiences.

After returning to China, Bang became depressed and self-destructive due to the criticism from countless people, and even thought about retiring.

But in the end he stood up.

Thinking about it now, they are all a little unconvinced. IG's overall strength is definitely worse than theirs.

But IG's preparation and research on the version are so thorough.

If they had tried harder, maybe...

After returning to China, everyone in SKT had a photo in front of their computer screens, a photo of Yuan Shen winning the championship and holding the trophy.

Duke knew what his mission was on his first day at SKT.

There is only one way, and that is to defeat Yuan Shen and avenge the previous shame.

However, after being beaten up in the All-Star Game and learning that Yuan Shen had switched to being a jungler, Duke couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had escaped.

For the jungle position, don’t even think about having an easy time in the middle and lower levels!

The hardship cannot be borne by the top laner alone; other positions should also share some of the burden.

This MSI, the goal of the entire SKT is very consistent, to defeat Yuan Shen, to defeat IG...

Inspired by this goal, the SKT players often maintained fifteen or even seventeen hours of training time, and not a single day was wasted.

Hard training has made all SKT players lose a lot of weight.

And they got thinner and stronger.

In the playoffs, the strength shown by SKT has surpassed other teams by a level.

Especially Bang, his outstanding performance finally made the public opinion less critical of him. Many people began to call him the No. 1 ADC in LCK, or even...

The world's number one ADC!

Why is there such an exaggerated name?

Because Deft and Imp were beaten up by Bang when they were ranked in the Korean server.

Whether in terms of data or performance, Bang crushed his two predecessors in all aspects.

Not only Deft and Imp, but all the ADC players in the entire LCK have a clear gap compared to him.

In general, due to the loss in S5 and the performance in the S6 Spring Split, Bang's situation in LCK is very bad, with mixed reviews, many people praising him, and many people criticizing him.

One side is "He doesn't have an S-League championship, but he brags about being the world's number one", and the other side is "Look at Bang's average dominance and average output per game."

……

Yuan Shen won this qualifying match easily.

However, it has nothing to do with him.

He just developed peacefully for ten minutes and killed twice alone, and then killed his way through the bottom lane.

Bang and Wolf did not choose their most signature and strongest version of Jhin + Zyra combination, but instead chose the combination of Tristana and Zyra.

The hero Tristana is also the hero that Bang is most confident in.

Last year, it was his Tristana that led SKT to the final.

Being able to rank with Yuan Shen proves that both of them are at the same high level.

The opposing bottom lane duo is Crystal and Rhythm from the Snake team.

Originally, the audience thought it was a evenly matched match, as Musto, who was facing Bang, also got his signature Draven.

But before Yuan Shen could take off completely, Bang blew up the bottom lane.

Various continuous jumps in team battles, picturesque ultimate A-walking, clear judgment of output positions, and precise calculation of ultimate skills.

For several times in a row, Tristana would confidently turn around after RA attacked, and it wouldn't be long before the news of the opponent's death spread.

As if to prove himself, Bang played at his best in this match and treated Rank as a competition, playing very seriously.

This also exposed Bang's strength.

Even Yuan Shen couldn't help but type and praise Bang for his good typing.

Looking at the message sent by Yuan Shen in the lower left corner, Bang pursed his lips, feeling mixed emotions.

"Long time no see! You Good!"

He didn't quite understand the meaning of the latter part, but an audience member who understood Chinese in the live broadcast room told him that it was a greeting to him.

Bang, who had been training hard for half a year, suddenly felt sore in his eyes and almost cried.

The LCK audience almost scolded him for being autistic. I thought Yuan Shen would also hate him, but I didn’t expect...

woo woo woo...

Although Yuan Shen was the biggest reason for their loss of the championship, he really couldn't hate Yuan Shen when facing him.

Yuan Shen in S5 is the world's number one top laner.

Needless to say.

They lost the game simply because they were not strong enough, there was no other reason.

Before the start of the MSI, the Canyon of Heroes was a hot topic among all Chinese players.

Every day there are high-scoring passers-by cursing loudly, and there are also hooligans who laugh for a long time.

The newly opened Canyon of the Top has completely become a show for people who are just having fun.

It wasn't until more than ten days after the server was opened that the chaos in the Canyon of Heroes was alleviated.

The experts went up, and the ones with poor skills stayed.

The two sides separated, and those with similar strength levels gathered together, which made the game interesting.

A fight between two weak players is more interesting than a pure crushing game, at least a fight between two weak players shows a back-and-forth pattern.

The game League of Legends is like this. If you lose one game, lose two games, or even lose points after dozens of games, it’s completely OK to say it’s just bad luck. After all, there are European emperors and unlucky people in this world.

However, if you play hundreds of ranked games but still can't get any higher scores, and you attribute it to bad luck, that would be a bit too much.

The ladder mechanism is fair, and those who are capable will definitely get the rank they deserve.

In a dozen days, the players in the Canyon of Heroes were clearly divided into different levels and classes. There was no longer a mix of good and bad players, and the quality gradually improved. In high-score games, there would often be high-quality games where masters fought each other.

Sniping professional players has become the favorite thing for casual players and anchors.

This situation has become more common especially since professional players started to move into the Canyon of Heroes in large numbers and began to train fully.

If you kill Yuan Shen or Faker alone in a random game, you will become famous instantly!
The IDs of the six professional teams participating in MSI in the Canyon of Heroes were revealed on the forum.

TheShy's ID is "IG.Yuanshen".

Yuan Shen’s ID is “SKT.Faker”.

Zzitai’s ID is “IG.TheShy”.

Jack and Ming's IDs are a bit gay.

Jack's ID is Ausna, and his name is Kirito, which is the name of the male and female protagonists in the Japanese manga Sword Art Online.

Fortunately, the two people are super accounts and registered their IDs in advance, otherwise they would not have been able to register at all.

The LPL player IDs are okay, but the IDs from other regions are very interesting.

For example, the ID of SKT jungler Xiaohei is RNG.Mlxg.

Xiang Guo’s ID is SKT.Blank.

The two have a very good relationship. Blank is playing for the Royal Team of LSPL in China and is very familiar with Xiang Guo. The two often go out to eat crayfish together late at night.

There is also G2’s mid laner Perkz, whose ID is “The Strongest Mid Lane”.

LPL players don’t know much about G2, the European black horse.

But Perkz's arrogant look left an extremely deep impression on them.

But the funniest thing is the traditional Faker.

He originally wanted to use SKT.Faker, but after entering the name, he found out that it had already been registered.

There was no other choice but to settle for the next best thing and use a lowercase ID of skt.faker.

But once, Yuan Shen, Xiang Guo, and Faker were ranked together, and the anchors watching the game all burst into laughter.

Top laner SKT.Faker.

Jungler SKT.Blank.

Mid laner skt.faker.

No matter how you look at it, this mid laner is a fake.

Obviously, the top and jungle are the real SKT players.
