Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

If G2 releases the news that it will not use some heroes and tactics, will other teams believe it?

joke!

The strong teams that enter the World Finals have one and only one goal - to lift the Summoner's Cup, which represents the highest achievement.

Even if they belong to the same division, they will be wary of each other. No one will sincerely expect other teams to win the championship. Even if the winning of a team in the same division can elevate the status of the entire division and bring some extra income to other clubs, it still cannot change this view.

The focus of course is on the favorites to win the championship with brilliant records.

G2 won four championships in a row, including the Spring, MSI, Intercontinental and Summer Championships. Its performance in major events was exactly the same as that of RNG last year. With the addition of Ye Tian, ​​a monster who had been a "power leveler" in the World Championship for two years, it naturally attracted the attention of all teams.

During the World Championship, no matter what G2 does, it will trigger endless associations. If jungler Jankos sends a daily tweet saying "I feel uncomfortable in my stomach today", other teams will immediately open OP.GG to study whether Jankos is secretly practicing Zac.

therefore.

G2 releasing the news will only put competing teams in a dilemma.

——If you don't believe G2, be prepared to deal with the Caitlyn + Galio + top hero split-pushing system. If G2 really doesn't use these two sets when they meet, this part of the preparation will be useless, wasting a lot of time and energy, and causing a series of unpredictable consequences.

If you believe G2, if they don’t prepare and get caught off guard by these two systems on the field, they will become complete clowns.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh!"

Caps finally understood: "Tian, ​​you are too insidious, really too insidious, how did you come up with such a sinister idea?!"

"You don't understand, right? We in China have a book called 'The Art of War', which talks about these shady...strategies!" The Walking A Monster rushed to respond.

"The Art of War?" Caps was convinced: "It's worthy of being called 'Sun Tzu's' Art of War. It's so damn grandson-like!"

When G2 officially released the news, the sensation it caused was even greater than that caused by other clubs.

This is not the first or second time that Riot Games has taken sides. Compared to the various buffs it gave to Europe and the United States before, this move to strengthen EDG's championship system is not excessive.

The policewoman and skateboard shoes only have two more basic attack power.

Galio's level 2 Q [Justice Wind] reduces the CD by 1.5 seconds, level Q reduces the CD by seconds... and so on. After reaching the maximum level, it is no different from before.

W [Shield of Durand] does have 1.6-2 times more basic damage, but the seemingly exaggerated enhancement is actually a compensation for the harmony of W flash. If given a choice, professional players will definitely want the original W flash mechanism instead of these dozens of panel attributes.

It seems far-fetched to use this little information to accuse Riot of being biased.

The vast majority of players who follow suit are based on the region's stance, and do not really think that the G2 boss used a backdoor to get rid of Ryze and Tryndamere.

G2 said that they would not use EDG's classic system, which immediately caused a lot of discussion.

Especially the LPL division.

LPL is not only the base camp of Ye Tian’s fans, but also his popularity among the public is second to none. Even though Ye Tian did not play for LPL this year and stood against LPL, the support rate accumulated in S7 and S8 has not declined much.

After all, compared with G2's million euros, FPX's offer of million seems like throwing away beggars. The contract terms written in black and white by EDG are the best shield.

No matter from what angle, LPL viewers cannot blame Ye Tian.

[I always thought that the World Championship was a normal update. The entire summer season was calling back the policewoman, but she still couldn't get on the field. Can giving her two points of attack power in the end be considered a forced increase? ]

[Faker said that if Galio doesn't have W flash, he will hit the aorta with one blow, and the extra damage is useless]

[They are just afraid that Tian Ge will win the championship, so they deliberately disgust people]

[Forget about Galio, he is not very playable without his W flash. Galio is a hero that G2 developed for the bottom lane. If he doesn’t use him, the impact will be too great.]

[G2 said they won't use it, so they really won't use it? So naive, maybe it's just a smokescreen]

[Rabbit is really good at making things happen, maybe he will end up with something big]

【Tian Ge is the one who is the best at making plans. Last year, everyone thought IG had a chance to compete with EDG, but Tian Ge designed a Taliyah + Sion to drive over the wall, and then a Extraction Weapon with unlimited E, which directly confused IG】

Ordinary audiences can think of it.

The logistics teams of major professional clubs think more deeply.

The logistics team, which originally did not regard Galio as an imaginary enemy, also began to incorporate how to fight Galio into the Ban/Pick strategy.

what?
The probability of encountering Galio is not high?

So what.

Since I can't touch Galio, this part of the work is hard work even if it doesn't have any credit.

If you meet Galio but don't do this part of the work, you will have to pack up and leave, and it is unknown whether you can receive the last month's salary.

Anyone with a little common sense would know which one to choose.

10 month 12 day.

The 2019 League of Legends Global Finals officially kicked off.

Taking into account the viewing time around the world, the first day of competition is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Berlin, which corresponds to 8 p.m. in China, 9 p.m. in South Korea, and 8 a.m. in North America, which basically does not affect the daily routines of the audience in the mainstream regions.

When the flaming fist LOGO flashed.

What appears before the audience is the Brandenburg Gate located in the center of Berlin.

This neoclassical sandstone building was built between 1788 and 1791 on the orders of Prussian King Frederick William II, modeled after the colonnade style of the Greek Acropolis. The bronze Victory Chariot sitting on it allows modern people to appreciate the majesty of the army of that time.

After World War II, the Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin Wall witnessed Germany's division for nearly half a century. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Brandenburg Gate became a symbol of the reunification of East and West Germany.

What should be done when the two Germanys are unified?

That's right!

Attack France!
It perfectly corresponds to the journey from Berlin to Paris.

The camera passes through the Brandenburg Gate, passes over the cathedral from an aerial perspective, and comes to the bottom of the statue of the Goddess of Victory.

"We won the Mid-Season Invitational and two European Championships, but if we can't do well at the World Finals, everything that happened before will be meaningless."

The voice of G2 mid laner Caps sounded in the background.

then.

The European commentator's energetic summary was broadcast as the screen of G2 holding the trophy was broadcast: "They won the Spring Split, the MSI trophy, and now they have won the Summer Split. The only thing left is the World Championship trophy. As long as they take one more step forward, they can realize this dream." "This is the top level of League of Legends, and it comes from Europe!"

Speaking of it.

G2 players, led by Caps, appeared with their arms folded.

Top laner Wunder, jungler Jankos, mid laner Caps, support Mikyx, and Perkz and the A-walking monster who rotate in the AD position.

[Hey, where's Brother Tian? ]

[The film was recorded too early, so I didn’t have time to add Brother Tian]

[It’s really not as good as last year. Last year, the opening video was centered around Brother Tian, ​​but this year it’s all about praising Europe]

[Koreans know who the father is, what are Europe doing? ]

A burst of complaints appeared in the barrage.

After G2, it was Ou Cheng who sat next to the Brandenburg Gate: "In theory, I think G2 should be the favorite team, but as I said, once the competition starts, all your previous results and theories will be useless. In the end, it depends on whether you can withstand the pressure on the stage. I think we can become such a team."

Europe's first and second seeds made their appearance, while the third seed SPY was thrown aside without any respect. Instead, the SKT players walked out of a dark passage. A beam of light happened to hit the leader's back, revealing the legendary ID Faker.

"ladies and gentlemen!"

"Your Triple Crown is back!"

As the narration continued, Faker's serious expression gradually became clear: "We have won the most championships in the World Finals. In the history of the World Finals, we are the ones who are truly qualified to sit on that throne."

The defending champion EDG missed the world championship, and IG represented the LPL region. Song Yijin, dressed in black, looked at the statue of the goddess of victory under the dark clouds: "What we want most is to win the S series championship. Apart from the championship, we don't have any other desires."

The No. 1 seed of North America, TL, launched the living fossil-level AD player, Doublelift: "Last year, I broke my own historical results. This year, I believe I can go one step further."

The four major regions of China, South Korea, Europe and the United States finished their declarations.

The perspective flew upward at an extremely fast speed, breaking through layers of clouds and mist, and arrived in front of the magnificent temple.

The temple door opened.

A figure wearing a champion's jersey walked out.

One after another wonderful scenes flashed by, and the exclamations of commentators such as the Roaring Emperor, Wawa, Miller, Rivington, and Vedius were heard one after another.

"Tian!"

"Two consecutive FMVPs is an unprecedented achievement in the history of League of Legends!"

"In the S7 season, Tian had a 0% win rate, a 8% MVP rate, and a % death rate. In the S season, IG paid the price of four people to complete the swap with Tian, ​​and it was Tian who made the active sacrifice for the Fire Dragon and Nashor."

"Dimensionality reduction strike, this is a true dimensionality reduction strike."

"IG wanted to summon the gods, but the god 'Tian' was standing right in front of them!"

【Oh, that's fine! 】

[No wonder Tian Ge was not in the G2 team at the beginning. It turns out that he was arranged at the end and his salary was higher than Faker]

[Whether Faker can win the fourth championship is anyone’s guess, but whether Tian Ge can win the third championship is a foregone conclusion]

[Strictly speaking, Faker was just a mediocre champion in S5. Monkey King led 2-0 in the semifinals. SKT replaced Faker to reap the spoils in order to become a god. Tian Ge's two championships were both single matches. The value of their wins is not on the same level.]

[It’s true. Among so many world champions, only the original EDG team can’t enter the world championship]

【Come on, Tian Ge, win three consecutive championships and directly suppress Faker! 】

The audience's mentality took a 180-degree turn.

Ye Tian was still in the G2 club at this time, half lying on the sofa watching the live broadcast.

As the European team with the greatest hope of winning the championship, G2 received meticulous care from the official. Not only did they have the home advantage, but the first round of matches was also scheduled for the penultimate game of the second day. This allowed them to rest up and take a look at the version context of the World Championship and other teams' understanding of the heroes.

In order to demonstrate superficial fairness, the second seed FNC was treated as a discarded pawn - the first game on the first day had to face the returning SKT.

Normally, the opening game is an exhibition match between a strong home team and a weaker team, satisfying the audience's expectations with a good start.

Letting FNC play against SKT is obviously to favor G2 and shut up the players.

In this battle, both sides took unconventional approaches.

FNC put out a special lineup with Gangplank on top, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Ryze in the mid lane, and Garen and Cat on the bottom lane.

SKT looked normal, with five heroes: Akali, Lee Sin, Kayle, Tristana, and Nahmana, but the lanes were Akali on top, Tristana in the middle, and Kayle and Nahmana went down together. Even the European brothers who were best at making things happen were caught off guard by this move.

After Ye Tian finished watching the Ban/Pick section, he switched to Faker’s first-person perspective.

The mid-lane Tristana was very popular for a while in S13-S14, but the environment and equipment at that time were very different from those in S9. Faker had already brought out the mid-lane Tristana as early as S9, so Ye Tian must study it carefully.

"Can you even watch Faker's first-person perspective?"

"Awesome!"

Ah P gave a thumbs up: "Others have to stop for a while when switching screens, but Faker basically does not stop. It's not switching screens, it's completely flashing screens. I feel dizzy after watching it for dozens of seconds."

"You're watching it the wrong way." Ye Tian didn't mind imparting some experience: "When you watch Faker switch screens, you can't wait for him to switch to capture information, otherwise you won't be able to see anything clearly and will definitely feel dizzy. The correct way to watch is to calculate what will happen in other positions first, and then verify it when the screen switches over. Even if it's just a flash, you can confirm your idea."

"Ah, ah? Ah!" Ah P made three identical noises in a row: "Ward, who could have calculated this?!"

"I can do it, and so can Faker." Ye Tian stated the facts.

"Monsters, you are all monsters, monsters!" Ah P shook his head again and again: "No wonder I can't reach your level no matter how hard I try. I can't even imagine how you achieved that level. It turns out that we are not the same species at all!"

"We were talking fine, why are you cursing?" Ye Tianxu pointed at the screen: "The mid-lane Tristana has two obvious advantages. One is the fast pushing speed, and the other is the strong self-protection ability. The E skill has AOE for last-hitting, and the W control offsets it. In the middle lane, she is basically not afraid of being caught. These two advantages also allow the mid-lane Tristana to roam and support relatively boldly. Even if there is an ambush in the bush, Tristana can use W to jump over the wall and escape... In addition to these, there is another hidden advantage. Did you see it, Ah P?"

"Hidden advantage?" Ah P raised his hand and scratched his hair: "Is it because we can destroy the tower quickly?"

"Pushing the lane quickly means destroying towers quickly. These two things complement each other. What Tian said is not that simple." Caps' talent and cognition are higher than A-P: "The real hidden advantage should be that Tristana's attack range increases with level, while other heroes have fixed skill ranges. When fighting against Tristana, they have to make subtle adjustments every time the level changes, which greatly affects the operational feel."

"Bingo!" Ye Tian rubbed his fingers and snapped his fingers. "Since you can see this yourself, I don't have to worry too much. These few days, you should practice Tristana more. It's best to fight for heroes with the opponent in the game... When we wait for the knockout stage, I will switch to the middle lane." (End of this chapter)
