Chapter 247-Spider Kled, treat people like dogs!
When the game was broadcast live, the popularity of the live broadcast room exceeded 10 million, setting a new record for popularity on major live broadcast platforms.

Of course, the actual number of people in the live broadcast room could not be as high as 10 million, but minus the additions of gifts, agreement numbers, etc., there are at least 500,000 to 600,000 real people watching...

This number is quite exaggerated and shocked many people.

You know, the highest record of the number of people online at the same time in LOL worldwide is only 800 million.

Of course, this is also because he just won the gold medal at the Olympics some time ago, and Yuan Shen seldom broadcasts live, so the audience cherishes this rare opportunity and called on many friends to come. If he broadcast live every day, the data would definitely not be so exaggerated.

Even so, the data of 500,000 to 600,000 real people in the live broadcast room shocked many companies and caused Yuan Shen's value to continue to rise for a while. Many well-known brands began to contact the IG club, wanting Yuan Shen to endorse their products.

After the live broadcast in the evening, the amount of gifts given was close to four million. No one was asked to give them on my behalf, so the total amount was four million without any water.

This ability to make money is even greater than that of top-tier celebrities.

The biggest highlight of tonight’s live broadcast was undoubtedly the mob at the top of the canyon that scared Yuan Shen into quitting the server.

The identities behind those IDs were also revealed by the resourceful netizens, and they were all long-established kings in the Zaun region.

"The Simple Folks of Zuan People"

Now that I have gone to the top of the canyon, I have brought this trend to the new area.

Many video UP hosts edited this game and posted it to major video sites. The tough and simple customs of the Zaun people immediately aroused heated discussions among domestic players.

Many Zaun players, as well as players who have been to Zaun, have come forward to prove this point.

"Zuan is a big stage, come if you have a mother. When the wind is favorable, everyone is my brother. When the wind is unfavorable, everyone is my butcher."

"If you win, your parents will be alive. If you lose, your family tree will be elevated to heaven. In Zaun, only the strong are worthy of having both parents."

"Someone asked me how good my League of Legends skills were. I said: I have two parents in Zaun."

"The keyboard that I tap on with my fingertips is the glittering ashes of your parents. Are your hand speed and vocabulary enough for you to protect your parents in Zaun?"

"What does Zaan mean? --The well-being of our ancestors."

Someone objected, "You are all wrong. In Zaun, if you are weak, your teammates will make you lose your parents. If you are strong, your opponents will make your family tree ascend to heaven... Therefore, this is an unsolvable problem."

The keyword #Zuan people with simple folk customs# quickly ranked among the top ten hot searches on Weibo that day. Various silly pictures and chat records of the elegant and easy-going Zuan people became popular on the entire Internet.

Many players from other regions came here to play, and some players followed the local customs and became a glorious Zaun Hunter.

Some players were criticized as autistic children because of their lack of hand speed and skills.

“This hero looks very interesting.”

Rookie's focus is different from others.

The strength of Krey displayed by Yuan Shen attracted him.

Although this hero is officially positioned as a top lane warrior, he is surprisingly useful in the mid lane.

The ability to support teammates with his ultimate skill alone is enough to prove his strategic value.

"You can practice it. It's feasible for this hero to play in the middle lane."

Yuan Shen was somewhat surprised at Rookie's keen sense of smell. How could he feel...

Is Rookie evolving a bit?

And the direction of evolution is a combination of the original Rookie + Doinb?

This is too much.

But think about it, what with the mid laner Rambo and the mid laner Titan, I have influenced many people without realizing it.

Just at this moment, Principal Wang sent a message.

"When is the next game?"

"This weekend." Yuan Shen said, "The team's recent form has been a bit problematic and needs some adjustments. We are also trying new play styles and tactics. We may not win this week's game."

"Eh? Then I won't go to see it."

"what happened?"

"I don't want to see you lose! Ed Zhu said that we can't even beat their second team now. I'm really pissed."

Principal Wang doesn't care about the operation of the club.

He just wants results.

All in all, IG has dominated the League of Legends field for nearly a year.

He was very satisfied with this result.

"It's okay. I just said that I might lose, but it's not certain."

Yuan Shen smiled and gave Principal Wang another reassurance.

"Don't worry, you will win."

……

In the next few days, everyone in IG realized that the team was not in good shape and there were many problems that needed to be solved.

Therefore, without the encouragement and suggestions from the coaching staff, everyone took the initiative to enter the devil training mode and strive for the final journey of the summer season.

Seventeen hours a day, except for sleeping time, even eating and drinking time are spent on training, which has become a tradition of IG.

Before every big competition, I basically have to do this to push myself to my limits.

Soon, it was the weekend of this week.

The Shanghai Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center was packed with people.

They all came for today's highlight.

IG versus IM.

The king's team that has returned in full form, together with EDG's second team, is known as the dark horse team of EDG Shadow.

The IM team is also a rare dark horse team when looking at major competition areas around the world.

Historically, this team achieved the triple jump from LSPL to LPL, and then from LPL to the S series World Finals in just one year, becoming the first team in all major leagues to achieve the triple jump, creating the history of the entire League of Legends.

IM, the full name of which is IMay, means "I can!" and is itself a dark horse that creates miracles.

Although it is a new team, the players are all veterans.

Top laner AmazingjJ, former EDG substitute top laner.

Mid laner Athena was formerly the substitute mid laner of EDG.

Support Road is the former EDG substitute support.

Jinjiao at the AD position and Ben4 at the jungle position are also new generation domestic players with outstanding performances.

The player configuration of IM team is not strong. There is not even a star player. They are all abandoned players and young players.

However, its record in the LPL region is exaggerated. Historically, in the 2016 summer playoffs, it defeated IG 2-3 and WE -, and was on par with RNG, but lost : to get the third place.

In the bubble match, they defeated WE again with a score of 3:2 and won the third seed spot in S6.

Its resilience and strength stunned countless people.

The existence of the IM team was also one of the reasons why countless audience fans deified EDG and touted it as the favorite to win the championship.

Because the IM team's playing style is completely imitated from the big brother team, with a standard Guodian operating system on one hand and an invincible late-game team battle of Maokai + Sivir on the other, which makes countless people's scalps numb.

Even a team with second-rate players can become so strong after learning EDG's style of play, so it's natural for other teams to follow suit.

One of the biggest features of the Guodian operating system is the blue-collar pressure-resistant top laner.

Rather than focusing on the individual ability of the top laner, the team spirit of the top laner is more important, and this has become the standard for many teams to select top laners in the future.

In a sense, EDG's long-term dominance in the country has led many teams to learn its playing style, which has profoundly affected the lack of young players in the domestic top lane for a long time.

But, things are different now.

The emergence of Yuan Shen changed the style of LPL, and naturally, those influences also changed.

This IM team may not be able to achieve the same historical results in today's LPL.

When a team with dominant strength emerges in a region, it is inevitable that the overall strength of the region will increase.

The Catfish Effect

Especially in LPL, it’s such a big pie and everyone wants to have a piece of the pie.

Gree’s heavy publicity last year paid off a thousandfold after IG won the championship.

Letting the world see the power of Chinese e-sports has become the proudest statement of e-sports players.

The victory in this year's Olympics has enabled many teenagers with gaming talent to persuade their parents to embark on this new era path that is no less challenging than "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge."

……

"Today's game was quite interesting."

The commentators responsible for today's game are still the most experienced and popular Wawa and Miller.

"Yes, today's game was very interesting."

Wawa smiled and said: "With the return of Yuan Shen, Jack, and Xiao Ming, IG's complete team made its debut, facing the dark horse IM in the league."

This game has attracted a lot of attention. IM's recent strong momentum and its stable operation system remind many people of EDG last spring. It is not an exaggeration to regard this IM as a replica of EDG.

Ranked second in Group A and third in the league, the newly debuted IM is ranked higher than many veteran teams.

Although teams like RNG, WE, IG, EDG, etc. still have many games to play, this also shows that IM's strength is not weak.

The current IM reminds many people of last year's Snake Team and QG.

They have just joined LPL and are also dark horse teams.

Every year, new dark horse teams emerge, which makes more and more LPL players feel excited.

Many fans are also concerned about the status of the complete IG team. After all, three of the five starting players have missed team training for a long time.

"The game server has just been updated to version 6.15. I heard from many team coaches that this version change has a huge impact on the game play." Miller asked curiously: "I wonder what the two teams, IG and IM, think about the current version?"

"Let's wait and see!" Wawa said: "I received a message from the director. In the first game, IM got the right to choose the side and chose the red side..."

The game officially begins.

First there was the routine player introduction, and when the camera turned to IG's jungler and support, the audience gave warm applause and cheers.

"Master Yuan is so popular. I wish I could be like him someday."

AJ glanced at the audience seats with envy. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the people were holding up IG signs, and nearly 70% of them were Yuan Shen’s fans... He accounted for seven out of ten of the world’s popularity.

As for IM?

A new team won’t have many fans before it achieves results. Even if it does, they will most likely be club staff just there to support the team.

"Ah Hao, forget it." Jin Jiao bluntly said, "The difference in skills can be made up, but the difference in appearance will last a lifetime, unless you get plastic surgery."

"Or...women's clothing."

Jungler Ben4 added faintly.

"..."

Jinjiao imagined what AJ would look like in women's clothing, and instantly felt like vomiting.

Isn't that Tam?

IG on the blue side banned Taliyah, Lee Sin, and Zyra respectively.

IM on the red side banned Kindred, Ryze, and Alistar.

"The BP of both sides has already started. The IM team is mainly targeting the IG jungler. As for Xiao Ming's Minotaur, I think that anyone who has seen Xiao Ming's performance in this Olympics will never give this hero to IG again." Wawa said.

"IG banned the strongest player in the meta in a more conventional way," Miller analyzed. "It can be seen that IG was very confident today... Huh? Kled?"

The new hero who appeared on the first floor of the blue team was the furious knight Kled.

"Everyone knows that Kled is the top laner, but..." Miller said in surprise: "This rule may not apply to IG. Some time ago, Yuan Shen used Kled as the mid laner during his live broadcast, so... I guess this Kled may be the jungler."

"No... eh? Why is it the jungler and not the mid laner?" Wawa said.

"This is not important. What's important is that Kled is not considered a strong player in this version. This hero's win rate in the casual games is not high either. Is he not worth grabbing?"

Including the commentators and IM players, almost everyone assumed that Kled was the jungler.

After all, there are too few players who can master a new hero in such a short period of time and aim to bring it to the professional field.

In the past, the player who liked to use new heroes to play games the most was Yuan Shen.

So no matter how outrageous the idea is, they think it is possible.

After all, that’s IG!
However, when IG's final lineup came out, everyone was stunned.

IG (blue side) versus IM (red side).

Top lane: Mercy vs Treant. Jungle: Elise vs Graves.

Mid lane: Kled vs. Card.

Bottom lane: Jhin vs Sivir.

Support: Bard vs Braum.

There's not much to say about IM's lineup. It's the Treant + Sivir system that they are most skilled at playing.

But IG's lineup is different.

Kled in the middle and Mercy on the top.

These two completely different new things made everyone excited.

When Yuan Shen was live streaming a few days ago, he was playing the mid lane Kled, but everyone who has watched the live streaming knows that he had to move to the mid lane because his teammates took his position away.

This kind of thing is very common. In a random game, everything can be played as a mid laner, and there are people who play robots as mid laners, so no one thinks about it too much.

Unexpectedly, IG actually put Kled in the middle lane instead of the jungler.

The commentators all expressed their expectations for the idea of ​​playing mid laner Kled.

And TheShy's angel on the top unit...

"How long has it been since the hero Angel appeared on the competition stage?" Wawa asked himself, "I remember the last time she appeared was in S4 two years ago. At that time, the Korean team's Angel + Twitch system was very popular and became a popular tactic in the version."

"Yes, but only one version of Angel is popular." Miller nodded.

"As the pace of the version quickened, this late-game system was quickly eliminated. If we have to define the hero, Angel of Judgement Kayle, it would be that he is unpopular in the arena and a T3 player in Rank."

His appearance rate in casual games is only slightly better than sewer heroes like Urgot and Gravedigger.

Neither his uncle nor his grandmother loved him, and it was not until the S9 rework that he became a popular choice in the arena.

The old version of Angel, like the new version of Angel, is a typical mid-to-late-game hero, and is more afraid of heroes with strong laning power in the early stages.

"However, AJ picked Maokai this time. It is impossible to limit Mercy's development in a pure laning match. When IM faced IG, they were still young and were outmaneuvered in the draft."

Miller smacked his lips and analyzed it.

"Spider, Kled, Jhin, Bard... these four heroes are very powerful in the early and mid-game. In contrast, these four heroes will be relatively weak in the late game. TheShy's angel should be chosen to ensure the team's ability in the late game."

League of Legends has always focused on balance in hero design and does not allow the existence of perfect heroes.

Most heroes that are weak in the early stages become strong in the later stages.

At the same time, heroes that are weak in the late game are generally very strong in the early game.

The game officially begins.

In fact, there is another reason why Yuan Shen dared TheShy to use Angel, a player who was not on the bench.

That is, starting from this version, there will no longer be any lane-switching games.

In other words, there will no longer be a situation where you choose a strong hero in the opposing lane, only to have the opponent reverse the disadvantage by simply switching lanes.

Countless top lane players who are good at laning cried with joy, and TheShy couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

If this wasn't version 6.15, if I chose an angel, I'd be really afraid that the opponent would switch lanes, and then the angel hero would be useless.

In terms of talents, Angel chose the most suitable War Enthusiasm.

The starting item is Doran's Ring.

Although Angel doesn't feel any pressure when fighting against Maokai, she is afraid of being caught by the jungler, so she has to let the soldiers come over to suppress him. This makes it easy for the enemy's soldiers to enter the tower. Angel needs to use skills to make up for the damage, which will consume mana... She needs to buy Doran's Ring to restore mana and maintain endurance.

At level 1, TheShy did not use E to consume the enemy or push the line, but just used basic attacks to last hit, controlling the line and last hitting steadily.

This made AJ, who was often overwhelmed by TheShy in training games, feel confused.

IM jungler Graves also found it strange. Why was TheShy, who was usually extremely aggressive, so stable this time after getting an advantageous position?

This made his strategy of getting the red buff and then catching the enemy at level 2 completely ineffective.

The research is not thorough...

IG’s style changes so much.

In fact, all these changes are due to Yuan Shen’s return.

If you ask who TheShy listens to the most, it is undoubtedly Yuan Shen in IG.

Even Rookie sometimes can't stop this brother who has such a strong desire to attack.

But Yuan Shen can.

Because whether it is top lane experience, results, or strength, Yuan Shen has firmly suppressed TheShy.

The top lane Angel was originally taught to him by Yuan Shen.

……

After watching the laning in the top lane for a while, Ben4 shook his head and controlled Graves to go back to the jungle to farm.

It would be great if it were easy to study TheShy's habits and weaknesses.

Unfortunately not.

TheShy's current playing style is becoming more and more like Yuan Shen's in the past.

Fierce yet steady, this contradictory paradox can often be seen in Yuan Shen. His hero pool and style are too varied and unpredictable.

TheShy is the same now, which is very troublesome for people.

Of course, there were times when Yuan Shen was caught and killed, but his handling of the minion line before being caught and killed, as well as some strange operations, meant that even if the enemy killed him, they could only get a mere 300 yuan in economic gain from the head, with no way to snowball. Sometimes, they would even pay the price for wanting to kill him too much.

In the middle lane, it's Kled vs. Card, melee versus ranged, and they can only withstand pressure before their levels rise.

Rookie's Kled also looked like he was steadily finishing off the enemies.

On the contrary, the battle in the bottom lane was very intense.

With his best partner, Zyra, being banned, Xiao Ming chose Bard to complement Jack's Jhin.

The long reach + high basic damage of the skills allow the two to constantly suppress the opponent's Sivir + Braum combination, using mana to continuously reduce the opponent's health.

Jhin, the Fate Master, who was popular throughout the spring and the mid-season, had his skills' mana cost increased in the last version, which was finally a nerf. Otherwise, EZ's status as Riot's favorite might have been questioned.

Logically speaking, with such frequent use of skills, Jhin's mana should be low...

however.

"Huh? I just realized that Jack's Jhin actually went out with a Doran's Ring?" Wawa said in surprise.

The mainstream starting equipment for ADC heroes is basically Doran's Blade + one red buff, and Jhin is no exception.

"Use the attributes of Doran's Ring to make up for the mana recovery? But without the attack power provided by Doran's Blade, wouldn't the blood exchange be a little... wrong!" Miller slapped his head and suddenly realized.

"Jhin's Q skill has an AP bonus, and it's a very high AP bonus."

The more Miller thought about Doran's Ring's starting outfit, the better it seemed.

It restores mana and increases endurance, as well as enhances Jhin's early core skill Q, plus the ability to buy an extra bottle of red potion.

Combined with the talent of Touch of Netherfire, its blood consumption ability is very strong in the early stage.

The only flaw is probably that it lacks a bit of attack power, so the feel of finishing off the opponent is a bit worse.

But for players who specialize in ADC, the feel of last-hitting can be compensated by technology.

Dancing Grenade——

The grenade rolled over the three back-row soldiers and hit the enemy ADC, Annie.

Sivir's magic shield was tricked out by Bard's Q a few seconds ago, so she could only take the damage.

How much damage is this?

Level 1 Q, base damage 50.

0.6 total AD and total AP bonus. Every time a target unit is killed, the subsequent bounce damage will increase by 35%.

With Doran's Ring, the full damage of level 3 Jhin's level 252 Q is points.

Even taking into account the reduction of magic resistance, there was still nearly two hundred damages. Coupled with the continuous damage of Touch of Netherfire, Sivir's health suddenly dropped from 70% to about 30%.

In the early stages of the game, this kind of damage is incredible.

"groove?"

Jinjiao couldn't help but gasp.

The conditions for maximizing the damage of Jhin's Q skill are very harsh, so the damage is so high.

On the other hand, Jack, who can seize this opportunity to release Q, has already mastered the hero Jhin to a very high level.

"Xiao Si, come quickly! Help!" Jinjiao hurriedly called for his jungler Ben4. His health was very dangerous and he had a premonition that the opponent would cross the tower.

"right away!"

Graves slid forward and attacked A, preparing to take down the three wolves who could only take two of his normal attacks before heading to the bottom lane.

Two normal attacks won't delay anything.

But the audience from the God's perspective clearly saw that Yuan Shen's Spider instantly gave up the river Scuttler that was halfway through being killed and approached the lower jungle area of ​​the red team IM.

Yuan Shen was very experienced and did not walk directly into the triangular grass. Instead, he stayed outside the wall of the triangular grass and waited for his teammates to push the troops in.

Based on the experience of professional-level assistants, they will most likely focus on sensitive areas such as the triangular grass.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

When the health of his ADC was very low, the support Road directly placed a ward here to prevent being bypassed and tower-diving.

Soon, the soldiers entered the tower.

Miller stared at the screen intently and suddenly said: "The troops are coming in! IG is coming up!".

The damage of the S6 version of the defense tower is not as exaggerated as in S9, but it should not be underestimated in the early stage of the game.

Sivir and Braum both have very good survivability. In the early stages, crossing the towers of these two heroes requires very high operational details and coordination from IG players.

"I'll cheat with my skills first."

When the soldiers entered the tower, Xiao Ming acted very well and did not look murderous.

Swing left and right in front of the enemy tower, seize the moment when Sivir is stiff and use Q decisively.

Astral Bound

A golden energy arrow shot out from Bud's palm.

If the energy arrow penetrates two enemy units or penetrates a wall, it will cause stun.

Therefore, Braum did not jump onto Sivir and raise his shield immediately, as this would have stunned both of them. And the angle of Xiao Ming Bard's Q was extremely tricky, causing Jinjiao to have to use his magic shield to block this skill.

"Ding--"

The defense tower warning light sounded, aiming at Bud.

Although the Q skill was blocked by Sivir's magic shield and failed to cause damage, the hatred mechanism of the defense tower has always been unreasonable. Regardless of whether the attack causes damage or is offset by the shield or dodge, as long as you attack the hero unit, you will definitely attract hatred.

Bard attracted the hatred of the defense tower. Logically, he should leave since he failed to consume the enemy with one attack.

However, Bard continued to attack with his passive basic attack and decisively used ignite.

The IM duo instantly sensed the murderous intent.

The support Braum jumped onto Sivir in time and raised his shield to block the subsequent damage from Bard and Jhin, preventing Bard from attacking again to trigger the Thunderbolt damage.

At the same time, Jinjiao caught a glimpse of the spider on the small map out of the corner of his eye.

"This wave can be managed!" Jinjiao judged in his mind. Jhin and Bard were blocked by Braum, and the damage could not hit him. As long as he used flash to dodge Spider-Man's [Cocoon] and [Self-Destructing Spider], the opponent's damage and control were not enough, and he would have room to counter-show under the tower.

Thinking of this, Jinjiao pressed the treatment button and raised his own blood limit.

Spiders appeared from behind the tower, blocking the path of Sivir and Braum.

Deadly Brilliance——

Jhin's W hit Braum and grounded him in place.

Seizing this opportunity, Yuan Shen decisively controlled the human form of the spider to flash between Braum and Sivir, used QE in human form, switched to beast form in seconds, and used WQ.

Jinjiao reacted very quickly and used Flash to avoid the spider's cocoon (E) and self-destructing spider (W) -
No, wait!
When in Spider-Man form, why didn't you include W in your combo?

Just when Jinjiao was feeling strange, he seemed to see a spider in the form of energy leaping from mid-air and blew up Sivir who had flashed away to death on the spot!

From the perspective of the audience with a bird's eye view, on the scene, after Sivir used flash, she still had a small amount of health left, but suddenly died.

(End of this chapter)
