Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

Chapter 102 It's time to give the world a surprise!

Are you more than 80% sure of beating him?
After hearing what Ye Tian said, everyone from EDG showed a look of half surprise and half joy on their faces.

of course.

There are still some doubts that are not well hidden.

It’s not that Ye Tian’s authority is not enough, or that his battle record is not convincing.

But Khan is indeed too strong.

As the mainstay of LCK's No. 1 seed LZ, Khan not only has an invincible performance in the LCK region, but also has the dual identities of veteran and rookie - he has the experience of struggling in the professional circle for many years and competing with various top players, and he also has the fighting spirit of just participating in the Super League and being determined to make progress.

The combination of the two is like South Korea with its U.S. military presence and sovereign North Korea. They complement each other in areas that each lacks, and are enough to unleash an energy that cannot be ignored.

Even though Ye Tian led the EDG team to defeat RNG in three games, and emerged from the desperate situation of zero wins and three losses in the first round with a four-game winning streak, completing a promotion that only existed in theory, his ranking in the official rankings was still lower than that of Khan and Huni, and he only surpassed SSG's CuVee.

The newly-promoted world No. 3 said that he had an 80% chance of beating the world No. 1... If Ye Tian was not a member of the EDG team, others would probably say that his words were even more arrogant than athlete's foot.

"Then I'll go on the road and catch more."

The factory manager used a very subtle statement.

"There's no need to catch them specifically. Just go at your own pace. If you can catch them, then catch them. If you can't catch them, don't try to catch them deliberately."

Ye Tian didn't care about his teammates' doubts: "When you meet LZ in a few days, don't feel any psychological pressure, just play to your usual level. Remember, I will lead you!"

Finished eating the Jiugongge hotpot.

The EDG team returned to the hotel, packed their luggage, and headed to the quarter-finals venue.

——Guangzhou Gymnasium.

Considering that a plane takes nearly two hours and a high-speed train takes more than four hours, the difference is not that big. In addition, there is no change in air pressure on the high-speed train, and you can also enjoy the scenery along the way, which is a more comfortable experience. Therefore, the EDG club booked the business class carriage of the Harmony Express for the starting five. Abu, Maokai, A Guang and the staff accompanied them in the first-class seats.

Board the high-speed rail.

Ye Tian turned on the live broadcast on his mobile phone, ready to catch up on the duration.

This kind of behavior is unforgivable for a small anchor, and Dousha TV will definitely deduct the garbage time in the background.

Even if it happens to a big anchor, it may not be able to pass the test. The super administrator will basically remind him privately and give a warning.

Put it on Ye Tian...

With Ye Tian's performance of defeating RNG in three consecutive games to win the LPL Summer Finals and defeating SKT in the World Championship to advance to the quarterfinals, let alone showing his face to get airtime, even if he finds someone to broadcast on his behalf or even goes black screen and hangs up, Dousha TV will have to smile and beg Ye Tian to accept this month's salary.

not to mention.

Ye Tian is not just messing around.

Even if you don't play LOL, the show is still very effective.

"Want the host to comment on the quarterfinals matchup?"

"no problem."

Ye Tian's face was full of sincerity: "Let's talk about SKT first. SKT will definitely crush MSF against a European rabbit. Everyone knows about European and American teams. Every year in the world championship, they are swept out by the Korean team like garbage. It is considered a success if the rabbit is not hit by Linglong Tower."

"In the match between WE and SSG, I definitely support and favor WE. SSG was shut out by RNG in the group stage, but WE was able to fight RNG until the final game - they were still in the upper hand before losing the game. In comparison, it should be easy for WE to defeat SSG."

"RNG will face pressure against FNC. The ancient champion + Europe's No. 1 seed are still strong. Europe's No. 1 top laner sOAZ, No. 1 mid laner Caps, and No. 1 AD Eugene, none of them are weak."

【Makes sense】

[Awkward, RNG won't feel any pressure against FNC, they will definitely make it to the top four]

[Two LPL teams made it to the semifinals, not bad]

[How come only two teams made it to the semifinals? EDG can't make it? ]

[EDG? Just hit LZ a little bit]

[I heard someone said he wanted to win the championship without losing a single game, so he stopped bragging? ]

[WE can't beat LZ either, it still depends on the performance of RNG and Gouye]

[I am a fan of UZI. To be honest, the anchor is capable, but it is not realistic to lead EDG, which cannot even win a group match, to play against LZ.]

The composition of the audience in Ye Tian's live broadcast room is extremely complex. A large part of them are fans of Ye Tian himself, a small part are Ye Tian's own fans, and there are also passers-by and HZ and GSL who had previously signed up to join the fan club for the lottery. The direction of the barrage has been a mess.

but.

These HZ and GSL who have applied for cards have been hanging out in Ye Tian’s live broadcast room for a long time, and they show some signs of being influenced, and they no longer criticize him as they did in the beginning.

I usually act like an ordinary person.

They thought Ye Tian was going to be in trouble, so they jumped out to mock him or praise RNG and UZI.

"What do you mean by blowing?!"

Ye Tian deliberately held his breath, making his face a little red, and put on an angry look: "Let me tell you, the anchor said that we won't lose a game, and we won't lose a game. Isn't it just a LZ? Isn't it just a Khan? Isn't it just a 1v4 on the high ground with Jayce? The anchor picked Lucian and killed his Jayce like killing a dog!"

[laughing to death]

[Do you believe this yourself? ]

[Lucian, what else do you have?]

[Don't be such a dog all day long, the dog will definitely enter the Bird's Nest, and you will go home in the quarterfinals]

[No matter how you jump in the competition area, it’s useless. At the World Championship, UZI won’t even look at you]

[Fighting with Khan? Do you really think that you can be so cool in front of Khan just because you beat up a few useless top laners? ]

[EDG will be gone in four days, some people will have to go home and broadcast live, don’t not broadcast the world game for the sake of face, that’s a huge amount of traffic]

[I really want to see the broadcast of the game after someone is eliminated. Why does time pass so slowly? ]

[Whoever is eliminated and does not broadcast the same division team is not worthy of being a Chinese]

The barrage of comments was refreshed.

"Yes, that's right!"

Ye Tian's face turned redder: "Whoever is eliminated and doesn't broadcast the same division team or commentate on the game, whoever doesn't want to see the LPL team advance, is not worthy of being a Chinese!"

This statement attracted responses from people who were just having fun, as well as from HZ and GSL.

Ye Tian bit his tongue to hold back his laughter, saved the screen recording, and prepared to hand it over to EDG's logistics team for processing after the live broadcast.

Next.

Ye Tian skipped this topic.

I started talking to the audience about the 7.18 version used in the World Finals.

In addition to some old-fashioned content, Ye Tian also carefully prepared several remarks that sounded reasonable but were actually misleading - for example, the Master Yi is not only strong enough in split pushing, but can also rely on the E skill [Counter Storm] to fight against the normal attack AD that is popular in the Censer Monster version like a tank hero; the Gem Knight's group invincibility is particularly strong, and it can completely counter the system where there is no subsequent team battle after a round of big moves.

With the help of the reputation of the great devil Faker, I strongly recommend Ryze who has enhanced his W profit coefficient.

Highlight how to cheat people.

These things can be accomplished in theory, and there is a high success rate in Rank and training matches, but if a team pulls them out against EDG...

Hey!

Then there will be a good show!
After more than four hours, we arrived in Guangzhou, walked out of the high-speed rail station, hailed three taxis and rushed to the hotel arranged by the authorities.

After verifying his identity and checking in, Ye Tian put away his luggage, rubbed his face simply, and walked into the pre-prepared training room with an energy drink, logging into the Canyon of Heroes to Rank.

Mainly use AD heroes such as Lucian, Skateboards and even Vayne as top laners.

During that period, I actually met Khan once.

Khan also happened to take out Jace.

Ye Tian chose Lucian as the second player. As soon as they met, he fired a sinister Q that penetrated the soldiers and consumed Khan's health. He then used the soldiers to block a burst of light cannons. He was not at all panicked when Khan hit him in the face with a hammer. After exchanging a set of skills, he reached level 2 and began to cross the line to suppress the enemy.

At level three, force Khan out of the experience zone.

A large wave of soldiers was sent to Khan's tower, forming an absolute suppression of the level 4 full-blooded soldiers over the level 3 with less than half blood. Ye Tian used a W-dot-E-dot-Q-dot burst combo on Khan and completed a single kill by crossing the tower!

First blood is obtained.

Ye Tian returned to the city and took out two long swords.

If I see Khan again, I will take away half of his health!

Seeing how fiercely the top laner fought, the jungler wisely ran over to help. In less than five minutes, Khan had to hide in the bushes between the two defensive towers to check his phone.

In six minutes, Ye Tian completed his second tower dive by crushing the level 4 with the attributes of level 6.

In eight minutes, I used a set of skills to force Khan to use his full set of skills. My R [Holy Lance Baptism] dealt full damage and I got the third solo kill!
In the twelfth minute, the mid and jungle players of both teams gathered in the top lane. With the help of his own Galio and Prince, Ye Tian got a triple kill, and the number of kills reached 6-0!

[Khan’s Jayce is no good either, he was beaten to pieces by Tian Ge]

[What are you bragging about hero restraint?] [Restraint? You pick Lucian and I pick Jayce, how about that?]

[I'm in Electro II and Diamond III. It's not easy for Lucian to fight Jayce. Jayce's burst is too high. Lucian will be killed if he's not careful.]

[No matter how you play Rank, it’s useless, you can’t choose a match]

[The main reason is that the other players in EDG are too useless, so other teams don’t need to ban them.]

[It's such a pity that the quarterfinals were drawn this time. If it weren't for LZ, Tian Ge would definitely have made it to the semifinals and the finals.]

[Stop it, you bastard. You only want to start a civil war? Isn't that disgusting? 】

[Dogs have the nerve to bark when they blow? If it's not a civil war, what achievements have you made in bathing your dog? 】

Although Ye Tian did not start the live broadcast, the OB anchors of major platforms were all watching Ye Tian to gain popularity, making this Rank game catch the eyes of many interested people.

Especially the LZ team.

Speaking objectively, the version of the Censer Monster used in the S7 season, especially in the 7.18 World Championship, is actually not suitable for long-handed top laners.

On the one hand, S7 does not have a coating mechanism and lacks a large part of the economy. If you want to gain an overwhelming advantage, you must engage in high-risk behaviors such as suppressing the enemy in the lane, killing by crossing the tower, and even cutting off the soldiers by crossing the tower.

Of course it's cool if you succeed.

If you fail, you will collapse completely.

Lucian can't snowball or win a quick battle, so he may not lose dust even if he touches a tank hero.

Another aspect is that the old Pantheon from the S7 season has not been reworked yet. Strong teams usually don't choose this kind of unconventional hero who has no system and becomes useless after twenty minutes, but weak teams are helpless when they are singled out by the long hand, and they may really bring out a crazy old Pantheon to fight back.

LZ originally thought that there was no need to ban Lucian, but since the ignorant new player from EDG dared to choose him, he should let him choose.

But with Khan being beaten... we have to weigh the pros and cons seriously.

As the No. 1 seed of LCK, one of the best super teams in the world, and with the undisputed world's number one top laner Khan, LZ certainly cannot do something like cutting off one's own arm by letting Khan choose Pantheon. After all, Khan's importance in the LZ team is not much less than Ye Tian in EDG. He is an absolute pillar of the team.

Then.

Should we pay a ban that we originally thought was unnecessary, or let Khan take the risk?
"Ban Lucian."

The 34-year-old LZ head coach Hirai is more cautious: "EDG poses no threat to us except for the top lane. It's no problem to ban Shen, Lucian, and Kalista in the first round. We originally planned to ban one of Xayah and Rakan to avoid being picked by the red team. If we don't ban Xayah and Rakan, we can just pick one on the first floor of the blue team, and the effect will be the same."

"Gorilla, do you think this is okay?"

"It doesn't matter what I use." Gorilla said confidently: "Isn't EDG's Meiko going to be the new No. 1 M support? I will use facts to show him that the era of M supports is over!"

"In fact, you should have been one of the top four supports a long time ago. Apart from Madlife and Mata, the other two Ms were just forced together." Pary, the first generation of Rat King, spoke up for his partner: "This world championship, it's time for you to clear your name."

"It's time you cleared your name, isn't it?" Gorilla responded.

Done.

The two Xuanming elders looked at each other and laughed triumphantly.

...

EDG training room.

In addition to deliberately releasing smoke and collecting videos to cause trouble, Ye Tian's more important thing is to lead the logistics team to study the games in the group stage and not miss any details that need attention.

This is what professional teams must do.

Some second-rate coaches and analysts only know how to talk based on data.

A high win rate means you are the son of the version, a low win rate means it is a version trap, dying in the laning phase means you are not good in the early stage, a low damage conversion rate means that the economy is useless, etc...

These theories make sense, but not entirely.

It is said that it is better to have no books than to believe in them completely.

It is better not to look at the data at all than to believe in it blindly.

If you simply choose your lineup based on the winning rate shown in the data, you will inevitably fail miserably.

Especially in the World Championship.

The saying that [there are no weak teams in the World Championship] is largely due to people's lack of familiarity. Strong teams are unable to respond well to the carefully prepared trump cards of weak teams, and thus small-scale failures may occur.

For example, the LMS region will beat the Korean team once in every World Championship, and some teams will continue to evolve in one battle after another, achieving a complete transformation and breaking the audience's inherent impression.

but.

Leave these accidents aside.

Let’s just talk about the hard power comparison during the group stage.

The difference between strong teams and weak teams is still quite obvious.

The heroes used by strong teams, even if they are purely for training like LZ, have a very high win rate.

Even if the heroes used by weak teams are very suitable for the version, their winning rate will not increase.

Therefore, the strength and adaptability of a hero depends not only on the data, but also on the IDs of the two warring parties and their specific performance in the game.

Only by studying these can we avoid traps, get heroes that are easy to win the game, and design some targeted Ban/Picks and special routines that other teams can't expect.

“Female police officers need to be given a higher priority.”

Ye Tian made a series of decisions the night before the quarterfinals: "It's not easy for Tristana to play well in the lane, and the bonus of her E skill has been reduced by 0.5. Her upper limit of tower demolition speed is higher than that of the policewoman, so her actual combat effect is not necessarily better than that of the policewoman. In addition, the policewoman's clamp is very useful in resource groups and when pushing towers. The threat of [Headshot] in the later stage is also very intuitive."

"I have to pick an offensive hero in the top lane, and Scout has to be more front-line and functional."

"As for support, you don't need to keep Tian Ye (Meiko) anymore. Since you are better at using hard support than soft support now, use the hard support when playing against LZ!"

EDG's main strategy in this summer season is to gank and dive over the bottom lane.

Meiko naturally has to use supports that are easy to cooperate with, such as Braum, Agni, and Thresh, so his proficiency in Janna and Lulu is relatively average.

With the advent of the Incense Burner Monster version, you have to use soft support, and your personal abilities will naturally be weakened.

After Ye Tian's guidance, EDG discovered that hard supports can also help AD heroes get the censer bonus through some special means. In this way, the tactical system of the summer season does not have to be completely overturned, which invisibly increases the strength of the team.

"it is good."

Meiko nodded.

When it comes to using soft supports to consume each other, Meiko doesn't dare to say that he does a better job than Gorilla.

Use hard aid to flush the face...

Gorilla?

Just wait to be killed in seconds!
"Mingkai, the hero you just learned is not suitable for playing yet. You need to get familiar with it and play as a regular jungler first."

Ye Tian continued to arrange: "I will establish an advantage in the top lane and radiate the advantage into the jungle. You must change your habit of eating scavengers and go into the LZ jungle to eat meat!"

"What do you mean by scavenging?!" The factory manager was annoyed: "I am a herbivore at best, but this time I will eat meat!"

"Beat them, beat them!" Iboy waved his fist.

After listening to Ye Tian's arrangements and thinking about the analysis and discussions over the past few days, the EDG team changed from thinking they had no chance of winning and just wanted to fight to show their style when they just drew LZ to having some confidence in winning.

Since the game time is 4 p.m.

In order to stay in the best condition, EDG pushed back their usual wake-up time of 11 o'clock by three hours and woke up to wash at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

I simply ate until I was 50% full to avoid too much blood flowing into the stomach and causing dizziness in the brain. I also took some energy-replenishing foods such as chocolate, chestnuts, bananas, etc. When everything was ready, I boarded the bus and headed to the main stadium.

Guangzhou Gymnasium is located at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, with a total construction area of ​​more than 70,000 square meters. The shell-shaped main stadium can accommodate nearly 20,000 people to watch the game at the same time.

only.

Compared to the huge crowds in the group stage.

There weren't a lot of spectators buying tickets for this quarter-final.

After all the spectators entered the venue, the director looked around and saw that some seats were empty. The number of spectators was probably only a quarter of that in EDG's last round of group matches.

In this situation, it is obvious that the vast majority of viewers feel that EDG will be easily eliminated by the most dominant LZ team, and it is not worth spending money to watch a game that is bound to be disappointing.

On some websites that predict the outcome of a match, the probability of LZ defeating EDG has been pushed to 90% or even 95%. This shows how much of an impression EDG's dark history of being an expert in internal wars but a novice in external wars has left on the players.

There is no banner announcement for this game in the League of Legends client.

It was not until 4 o'clock in the afternoon that a small live broadcast window popped up in the lower right corner of the client.

The commentators are not the most popular duo 'Haier Brothers', but the more marginal ones Zhihuan, Wang Duoduo, and Shenchao, an old Royal Club player whose live broadcast popularity is pitifully low.

"Sure enough, no one believes we can win..."

Ye Tian stretched and stood up from the sofa slowly: "Let's go, it's time to give the world a surprise!"
