Chapter 26 - Fate Arranges, Swing BP
"Good afternoon, everyone. You are watching the regular season of the 2015 LPL League of Legends Professional League Summer Season. I believe that everyone was very satisfied with the game just now! After a month of rest, we can clearly feel that the strength of the major LPL teams has improved. It is worthy of the title of the first division."

"That's right. IG's play just now was eye-opening. The top laner Jarvan IV doesn't appear often in this version, but Zzitai's play always gives people a feeling of... how should I put it, very reasonable."

"Yeah, there's always something new to come up with."

The commentators today are the old duo Wawa and Miller, also known as the Haier Brothers.

"Well, I received news that IG has chosen to make a substitution. The new player is... Top Lane?"

Wawa was a little surprised. Zizi's performance in the previous game was remarkable. Why was he substituted directly?
"Well, everyone is familiar with this new player. He was previously a top laner for OMG. His Treant in the playoffs also left a deep impression on everyone. This is also Yuan's first game after joining IG."

"IG's new lineup. I heard from many friends that IG has prepared something new. I wonder if they will show it today."

Miller looked at the script and smiled.

Ever since Su Xiaoyan's notebook became famous, almost all of those who do commentary have a notebook.

At this time, the director also switched the camera to Yuan Shen at the right time.

Wearing IG's pure white shirt, Yuan Shen's bangs on his forehead have already covered his eyes a little. At this time, he is adjusting the position of the mouse and keyboard, but this scene still leaves a good impression on many passers-by.

However, unlike the cheers from the live audience, the comments in the live broadcast room were almost all criticizing Yuan Shen.

"IG really let this black sheep play?"

"People like this can play professionally. Everyone in LPL should reflect on this."

"What we're saying is, OMG threw it away like a worn out shoe, but IG picked it up and treated it like a treasure?"

"Just waiting to be beaten by Cardi, do you really think that LPL top laners can just mess around?"

……

The game started soon. In the second game, IG was on the blue side and WE was on the red side.

Because both sides had planned their tactics in advance, they banned heroes very quickly with almost no hesitation.

IG directly banned Gnar, Skateboard Shoes and Alistar, while WE banned Clockwork, Tsar and LeBlanc.

From here, we can actually see the gap between the two sides.

IG chose some heroes that are strong in this version, and WE’s target is obvious, that is Rookie.

Xiye is still far from being a match for Rookie right now, and Rookie is also the core of IG.

"IG's first pick is... still Digger. This hero can be used in the jungle or on the turf. It's hard for WE to make a targeted choice!"

"Hey, did you notice that IG's BP today was very particular. The heroes that took the initiative were always those that could play two positions at the same time. WE's red side counter role was not reflected at all."

Compared to Wawa, Miller's commentary is undoubtedly much more professional, and many viewers have noticed this, but they have not yet figured out the purpose of doing so.

In the IG lounge, Su Xiaoluo had a complicated look in his eyes as he watched the BP on the field.

The longer he spent with Yuan Shen, the more he felt that he was truly a card-drawing god.

What does it mean to have a discerning eye for people?
Lean back!

What Yuan Shen brought to IG is far more than a new carry top lane tactical system. His diligent rank rhythm is also subtly influencing the habits of IG players. Even Zizi has started to practice more on the Korean server because he has been abused so many times.

More importantly, this is just what Yuan Shen can do as a player.

In addition to his main job as a player, Yuan Shen can be an analyst, a coach, and an on-field commander, and he can do all these jobs well.

It is simply a treasure given by God to IG.

Su Xiaoluo often has such feelings.

Yuan Shen proposed to first select those top laners who can appear in double or even triple positions to avoid being countered by the opponent. After their discussion, they all agreed that this new BP idea is very promising.

Yuan Shen calls this BP idea "swinging BP".

The swing position, this BP concept was quite unfamiliar in the S5 period.

Especially the LPL, although it has only been a few years, the system has become rigid.

There are only two choices for top lane, warrior or tank.

The mid laner is either a mage or an assassin.

There must be a long-range ADC and a protective support in the bottom lane, which has become an inertial thinking.

Although the NBA also has the concept of swingmen, no one has introduced this concept into e-sports or LPL.

After all, there are too few heroes who can both hit mid and hit top, and the most commonly used one is Fizz, which is completely unable to support a new tactical system.

But under the influence of Yuan Shen, IG has undergone great changes.

It’s not impossible for the top laner to go jungle.

It seems that it is not impossible to use an excavator as a solo player.

Titan has three lanes, top, mid and support, and no one seems to be prohibiting it...

When Yuan Shen first proposed this BP idea, both Fu Manduo and Su Xiaoluo were very surprised. This BP idea was really too advanced.

But after trying it a few times with Team 2, everyone had to admit that it smelled really good.

They would never have thought that in future versions, there would be a double support bottom lane with Gem and Sona, Corki and Lucian could play mid lane, and Crocodile, Titan and Aatrox could also play mid lane.

Even in the near future, there will be strange combinations like Skateboard Shoes and Kennen, Malphite and Diana in the bottom lane.

On the field, both teams were still selecting players. In the second and third picks, WE picked up Centaur and Gragas, a strong tank top and jungle combination in this version.

IG's second and third picks were Varus and Morgana.

"This bottom lane combination looks very weak..."

Wawa stroked his chin and analyzed the BP of both sides in a thoughtful manner.

WE, on the other hand, decisively chose the combination of Lucian and Titan.

Lucian's combat effectiveness in the early stage is unquestionable. Among ADCs, except Draven, the rest are Corki and Lucian.

Titan is full of control, whether it is Q or R, it is a big threat to Varus who has no displacement.

As for Morgana, although she has E that can block some control, once she uses the E skill, she will most likely become the target of the opponent's concentrated fire.

The situation of the two sides' bottom lane combination is at least 60-40.

"I think there are some questions about IG's bottom lane selection..."

Before Wawa could finish his words, IG made their final two choices and made their debut.

Wheel Mom and...

"Fight for a better tomorrow!"

The Guardian of the Future——Jace!!

"Fuck, Jace!!"

"No, how can I choose this?"

"When will the LPL top laner be able to play Jayce? Are you qualified?"

"The old man at the door making keys is smiling. Make a few!"

……

"what??"

"Not buddy?"

In the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller looked at each other, and saw a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Jayce, this hero hasn't appeared in the top lane for a long time!"

"That's right. In the Spring Finals, EDG's mid laner Pawn won the game twice with Jayce. The last time IG picked Jayce, it was for mid laner Rookie, but..."

As WE picked Viktor as their last pick, the heroes on the field began to exchange, and the lineups of both sides were fully revealed to the audience.

“IG Blue Side:
Top laner: Jayce, the future guardian
Jungle Kakao: Void Burrower - Rek'Sai

Mid laner Rookie: Arrow of Punishment - Varus

Bottom lane Kidkid: Goddess of War - Sivir

Support Kitties: Fallen Angel-Morgana

WE Red Side:
Aluka Top: Shadow of War - Hecarim
Jungle Spirit: Gragas
Mid laner Xiye: Mechanical Pioneer-Victor

Bottom lane Mystic: Holy Lance Ranger - Lucian

Support Conan: Deep Sea Titan - Nautilus. "

“This lineup…”

Wawa didn't know how to explain it. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"First, they used a unique BP technique to put their bottom lane in an advantageous position. Then, the mid laner brought out Varus, a mid laner with armor penetration that has become popular in the rankings recently. The top laner brought out Jayce, a top laner that has not been seen in a long time..."

Miller frowned, glanced down and suddenly said, "There's news from the backstage. Jayce played ten times in the S5 Spring Season, all in the mid-lane position. He played four times in the S4 Summer Season, all in the mid-lane position. In the S4 Spring Season, he played six times, one of which was chosen by Nami, and the other five times..."

Miller turned to look at his partner, swallowed, and continued: "They were all chosen by IG, and the last time he appeared in the top lane was on May 2014, 5, one year ago today, in the second game between OMG and IG. The person who selected this hero is also familiar to everyone, that is IG's former top laner..."

"PDD."

The doll was silent.

He didn't believe that such a choice, made on the same day, had no other meaning.

But what does this mean?
He also saw the message from the backstage that PDD chose Jayce and lost the game.

Record, 1-5-4.

The person who was facing him at that time was the big brother of OMG.

But OMG and IG are both related to Yuan Shen.

Somehow, an invisible thread seems to connect everything together.

　For a new author's new book, the general way of writing is like this. It may be a bit long-winded, but I will try to update more during the new book period (within the scope allowed by the editor). There is a word limit every day during the new book period, unless you are a great author and can write 20 words a day for your new book. If you reach words too early, you will be removed from the new book list and the performance will be very poor.

　　Four to five thousand are updated every day, and after it is put on the shelves, the minimum daily amount is ten thousand. The better the performance, the more diligent the update. Follow-up reading is very important, which is related to whether there will be new recommendations and new exposure, so~ Thank you brothers for your support, please follow up and read more. Even if you don’t have time, you can directly turn to the last page. Thank you!
　　Kowtow hard, bang!
