Chapter 217-Old Song is my dog

"The four seas are raging with clouds and water, the five continents are shaking with wind and thunder! You are targeting my jungler, but I still have the support and the mid laner. If you move my sights to other positions, then our top laner will definitely exert his strength! There will always be someone who will step up and exert his strength!"

Wang Duoduo shouted loudly with great vigor. His style of shouting might be a bit awkward at first, but once you accept the setting, you will find it quite novel. At least it is better than some commentary styles that are so boring that they make people want to sleep.

"Yes, in this game, SKT targeted Yuan Shen too much, and Xiao Hei wanted to target the top lane too much. As a result, IG's bottom lane had no pressure and played very well." Miller said.

“But, to be honest, if it was any other top laner, they would most likely collapse under this level of targeting. They would probably be caught and killed three or four times, and the top and jungle would be completely destroyed…”

Wawa nodded in agreement. "Especially the mid-game kill that slowed down Olaf's rhythm. Otherwise, TheShy would have no place to develop. It can be said that Yuanshen withstood 70% of the opponent's pressure and created space for his teammates to perform."

IG is at its peak, and Yuan Shen's popularity has become the No. 1 in LPL traffic.

When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. After all, Yuan Shen is not a soft girl, so it is impossible for everyone to like him.

The S5 version has passed, and Yuan Shen is no longer the invincible world's number one top laner, but IG is still so strong, and Yuan Shen, who has transformed into a jungler, still performs brilliantly.

And the little black guys talk even more.

Their new argument is that Yuan Shen's carry ability has weakened.

Without the support of the version, Yuan Shen is no longer the best candidate to end the game.

However, in fact, they did not notice, or deliberately ignored one thing... Yuan Shen also made great sacrifices in BP.

Because IG almost never banned strong junglers in this version for Yuan Shen, but only banned strong heroes in other positions.

In other words, when facing the blue side, the jungler can get almost all the OP junglers in the version.

On the contrary, the opponent must also ban Yuan Shen’s Kindred, Graves, and even Nidalee.

This leads to a result that players in other positions of IG can often get the heroes they want, thereby developing various systems and routines.

What's more, all teams can choose the red side, but they can't achieve the same effect as IG.

For some people, it is really too difficult to admit that others are stronger.

Yuan Shen is not a god.

It is impossible for him to kill people indiscriminately while being targeted by five people. That is a fantasy story.

But as a player, Yuan Shen is not only unique in terms of his personal laning strength, but also in terms of his tactical value...

To any team, Yuan Shen is like the elixir of life, just like his relationship with ancient emperors.

"Turtle, even if you jump around in the top, mid and jungle in the early game, you can still win?"

"I'm leading SKT 2-0. Am I really not dreaming?"

"With three match points in hand, and the next game still on the red side, is it really going to be 3-0?"

Netizens were talking about it, even though this was just a semi-final, many people wanted to book the championship.

In last year's World Championship, we failed to achieve our goal of defeating SKT 3-0. Can this year's MSI come true?
LPL fans are excited but also scared.

I was afraid that the opponent would suddenly win the game, and I was afraid of the one in a thousand chance of coming back from 2-0 down to 3-0 down…

It was so close to 3-0, and the red team was bound to win the next game. Even if the final result was 3-1, it would still feel incomplete and something was missing.

The second game allowed the audience to get to know a different IG.

In the past, when facing strong teams, it was almost always Yuan Shen who led the team's rhythm, and all the glory was concentrated on the IG jungler.

From a highlight perspective, in this game, it was the bottom lane combination that performed quite well.

Jack's Lucian did not become a laborer like EZ in the previous game. Not only that, in the post-match data, his evaluation was the highest and he won the MVP of this game.

"Very good, very good, take a rest."

When the IG players returned to the lounge, Fumanduo patted everyone's shoulders with satisfaction, feeling like he saw the children finally grow up.

Professional teams have a system for evaluating professional players.

Just like the cultivation of immortals is divided into Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, and Nascent Soul, there are also divisions among professional players.

It is not a title like God or Emperor given by the audience, but an approximate range tacitly accepted by all contestants.

The first level of a professional player is just a nobody.

Yes, most of the professional players are at this stage, and all they can do on the field is muddle through.

Being able to blend in is also a skill. The first step for all professional players when they step onto the field is to adapt to the rhythm of professional games and learn how to blend in.

Most of the new players who have just entered the professional arena can’t even get by, and they do all kinds of eye-catching and disgusting operations. So in fact, there is another level below the mixed players, called orphans.

However, since orphans will be eliminated quickly and cannot be considered professional players, they are not counted.

As for contestants who reach the peak as soon as they debut, there are very few of them.

In last year’s LPL, most of the top laners were still in the mediocre stage.

Because tank heroes have a high tolerance rate, low operability, and no differentiation at all, it is easiest for them to just get by as the top laner.

And above the mixed level is the LPL first-line level.

The core carries of major teams are almost all at this level.

The third level is world class.

In fact, there is not much difference in personal strength between world-class players and LPL first-line players. When playing in local leagues, it is evenly matched, and it is not surprising that they win or lose against each other.

But there are two requirements for the selection of world-class players.

The first is to enter world-class competitions, and the second is to have stable performances.

Some people are the best in their country, but become timid when it comes to world competitions. Such players cannot be called world-class players.

This is also the biggest difference between world-class players and LPL top players.

The ability to adapt to world-class competitions and the mentality for big competitions.

In the world competition, each region has different styles, different playing methods, and all kinds of strange tactics. If you don't have enough adaptability, you will definitely be beaten up. Not to mention the mentality of the competition, Xiao Haiyoushen is the best example.

Those who have not proven their carry ability in the World Championships can only be considered first-class in the local league, but are far from world-class.

All world-class players, as long as their form does not decline, are desired talents by all major teams.

Before the S5 World Championship, Rookie had always been considered only a first-tier player in the LPL. It was not until he shined in the World Championship last year that his mentality changed and he became one of the few world-class players in the LPL.

Now, IG has three world-class players in the midfield, bottom and jungle, Xiao Ming and TheShy, who have also been tempered in this MSI and can be considered quasi-world-class.

Why can’t we say that we have reached this stage?

The biggest problem is that this is a local battle.

Without experiencing jet lag, the overwhelming cheers and shouts from foreign spectators, or the disadvantage of playing away from home, they are not truly world-class competitors.

As for the fourth level, that is the world-class players.

The most significant sign of this level is that you have performed operations in the World Championships that are remembered by audiences around the world.

That's it.

But in the past, there was only one person in the entire LPL.

Go going.

Now, there are two.

There is one more Yuan Shen.

Orphan＜mixed player＜first-tier team in the league≤world-class＜world's top.

Since e-sports is very dependent on the player's condition, this kind of evaluation is almost always time-sensitive. A player may be world-class some time ago, but become a mediocre player or even an orphan after a while.

TheShy has performed well in several consecutive games, and Jack proved himself in adversity this time.

These two double Cs have completed their respective transformation and growth in this MSI.

The current IG has an extremely luxurious staffing configuration and can be said to be the strongest in LPL today.

As the coach of IG, how could Fumanduo not be happy and excited?
"In the next game, we are on the red side. Now I am a little bit confident that we will definitely win on the red side, because I am not panicking at all now, and I am even too lazy to plan tactics. Even if the opponent is SKT, I think you can win regardless of how you play."

"Don't be such a thief, don't raise the flag!"

"You are too arrogant in your base state. I was planning to let you fight in this match."

Xiao Ming and Rookie said with a smile.

Yuan Shen smiled but didn't say anything. He was very familiar with his posture and knew that he was trying to adjust the mentality of his teammates.

As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step.

It is often the last step, the finishing touch that is the most difficult, the easiest to make people slack off, and the most anxious about gains and losses.

All the comebacks from 2-0 down to 3-0 originated from here.

"In the last game, I think the opponent will make a substitution. Bengi has always been their trump card. It doesn't matter if he has a special move or not. The main thing is that in a life-or-death game, substituting players can help adjust the mentality."

Rookie nodded and said, "I think so too. Even if Bengi is not in good form recently, he must be allowed to play, otherwise the team atmosphere will be too bad."

Others agreed with this view, but Fumanduo shook his head.

"Not only that, SKT is far from being that simple. You haven't been in SKT, so you don't know their habits."

Fu Manduo couldn't help but smile when he saw everyone looking at him curiously.

"I have studied SKT very deeply. They have the habit of preparing more than three tactical systems every season. Just for this season, the first system is their regular mid-jungle tactic, four-one split push. The second system is the four-protect-one system. And if the four-protect-one system cannot win, they will replace Bengi."

Fu Manduo's words also made Yuan Shen think.

SKT in S6 was actually not invincible.

Many matches were life-and-death situations, and Bengi was entrusted with the task of saving the team single-handedly, turning the tables on ROX and Samsung, and becoming the hero who saved the team.

Even SKT's ticket to the S6 World Championship was secured by Bengi kicking over the water dispenser and leading the team to a comeback from a - deficit.

After the S6 World Championship, Bengi was also dubbed the Water Dispenser God by netizens.

The success of saving the savior alone once or twice can be said to be accidental.

But things never happen more than three times. If it exceeds three times, it can only mean one thing.

Bengi, there is indeed something there.

SKT didn't press him against the water dispenser for nothing.

"Bengi is SKT's final secret weapon."

Fumanduo let out a sigh of relief, his expression solemn.

"My opinion is, give them a hard time and don't bother with SKT. Show our trump card and defeat them in one fell swoop. Whether it's CLG or FW in the final, we have a great chance of winning."

Jack couldn't help but say.

Knowing that the other party had a trump card, he was not prepared to take the risk.

When should we hide our moves? How long should we stop hiding them?

Everyone in IG nodded solemnly.

It's time to bring out their ultimate moves!
"Old Song, be my dog ​​later."

"no problem."

Rookie smiled.

As long as we can win, what does it matter if we sacrifice some development?
