Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

Arrogant, conceited, and overbearing.

This is the impression Ye Tian gave to other clubs when he was interviewed for the first time in S9.

Looking at the history of world championships, even Faker, who won three championships and was also in the limelight at that time, did not dare to complain that his opponents were not targeting him strongly enough.

What's more, the opponent is not an ordinary team. It is GRF, which is ranked second in LCK and is regarded as having the same or even higher status as the first seed in other regions.

but!

European audiences buy into this!
Different from the humility in the culture of the Eastern powers, Europe, which pursues pirate culture, always advocates the four words "doing the duty without hesitation".

If you are a little more subtle, you will be seen as a sign of weakness in the eyes of European audiences. Only by showing the most direct and arrogant momentum can you make European audiences follow you crazily.

what?
gentleman?

Not blocking GRF in the fountain to help Gangplank gain points is already a gentlemanly act, okay? !

G2 and Tian join forces to create the most promising year for the European region

Reforging EU Glory

Not only the media in the e-sports industry, but even The Times, a mainstream paper publication that used to only comment on football, devoted half of its space to Ye Tian's game report.

Once the industry leader takes action, others will naturally follow suit.

Among them, a French newspaper on the verge of bankruptcy used the last few coins on its account to print its latest issue, which became popular across Europe in just over ten hours and obtained several large amounts of financing.

The headline used by the newspaper was: "A Monster from the Far East Lands in Berlin"

Regarding GRF's disastrous defeat, there was basically no discussion among viewers from other regions.

After all, G2 had a year-long winning streak in front of them, and Ye Tian had raised the team's strength to a higher level. GRF's top laner Sword was not yet truly world-class, so it was an expected breakthrough. It was natural for G2 to win, and not winning would be the biggest news.

The Koreans in LCK were furious.

the reason is simple.

This year, SKT is the first seed and GRF is the second seed.

SKT was defeated by G2 after five rounds of fierce battle in MSI, which was the most shameful record in the team's history. Naturally, a group of Koreans will compare it with GRF, believing that the popular GRF is at least capable of winning the MSI championship.

Since GRF has the ability to win the MSI championship, it naturally has the ability to beat G2. Even if G2 invites Ye Tian to join, GRF will be able to fight.

As for the fact that GRF always performs poorly in the playoffs and gets taught a lesson by veteran strong teams... forget it.

After two years of decline, the Koreans have summed up a very suitable experience for self-comfort - the players/teams who did not play are always the strongest.

therefore.

Seeing that GRF was beaten even worse than the AI, the two core carry points, jungler Tarzan and mid laner Chovy, were taught a lesson by Ye Tian one after another, especially Chovy, who teleported behind and was hit by nine levels of damage by Ye Tian in just 1.5 seconds. He was killed before he could stack his passive, and all the Koreans watching the game were furious.

[That's it? Don't say anything like Griffin will win the championship if he goes to MSI anymore]

[Not all LCK teams are strong, it’s just that SKT and Samsung were strong in the past kkk. Now Samsung is in decline, and the only hope is SKT]

[It’s a shame, I was beaten up]

[The gap in strength is so big that there is no excuse]

[Griffin just did what Griffin should do. KK, everyone knows what Griffin is like in important games. This team is full of insider taste.]

[Haha, if I had known this, I would have gone to sleep. Why would I want to watch this kind of game?]

[We should really thank the management for firing McGrady. Griffin now has every bit of the Jets style.]

[Rush the captain's two gunpowder barrels upwards. Even bronze players don't play like this.]

[After watching today's game, I can assert that Griffin's team cannot reach the level of the S game]

LPL viewers saw the reposted post.

I was going to laugh.

But when I think of G2 and the fact that LPL's No. seed FPX lost to a provincial team, and before that they were only willing to pay million to "control" Ye Tian, ​​forcing Ye Tian to run to Europe as a foreign aid, I can't laugh at all...

The outside world has different attitudes.

Inside the G2 club, the A-walking monster was hanging his head in the meeting room where they were reviewing the game, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Dai Zhichun."

Ye Tian directly called out: "Did you watch the post-match interview? You should know what I meant by that sentence, right?"

In response to teammates' can't say bad words, then there's nothing to say', there is a direction.

The direction is to move the A monster.

"I saw it and I know."

The A-walking monster immediately reflected: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have used R to find Lucian."

"That's good to know." Ye Tian stretched lazily: "Why shouldn't I go in to find Lucian? Tell me the reason."

"Lucian was blocked by Gangplank's ultimate that had been strengthened three times. He could have just attacked the front line. If the opponent hadn't panicked at that time, it could have been a one-for-one trade." The A-walking monster spoke in a lower voice: "Normally, a one-for-one trade isn't a big loss, but at this time, I had to kill the Baron. If I was replaced and Titan resurrected, we wouldn't be able to take down the Baron."

"So you know. I thought Europe was North America, so I was targeting Nico." Ye Tian joked, "Okay, this matter is over. Let me talk about the field of view. Since G2 had no opponents in the European division before, the field of view has always been rough. It is fine at ordinary times, but it will be troublesome when encountering strong teams. Whether it is LCK or LPL, their control of field of view is much more sophisticated than ours."

"The 4:3, 9:6, 11:33, and 19:47 eyes will all be detected together by the scan. I've said before that we must pay attention in the next games. At least we can't let the same mistake happen twice."

Even if you are a professional player, it is impossible to be perfect on the field.

Mistakes are inevitable.

Just don't repeat it.

The World Championship lasts for a month. Although there are not too many official matches, there are hundreds of training matches. By eliminating the problems found one by one, the team's strength can be steadily improved.

"clear."

"Don't worry Tian, ​​I will never pierce this eye again."

"Remember, remember. I'll write it all down in my notebook."

Caps, Jankos, and Mikyx responded.

"That's it, let Ah P play in the next game."

Ye Tian made follow-up arrangements: "In the group stage, Ah P and Dai Zhichun will take turns to play against each team to accumulate experience. When you meet a strong team in the knockout stage and need to score points, you two will play together."

Can the double AD only be rotated?
No!

The double AD of regular origin can only rotate on the field, and the switch from AD to support like the old OMG Liang Xiaosan only exists in the early stage of the game.

Although the talent requirements for supports are relatively low, as long as they don't drag the team down, they can be used as is, but with the development of League of Legends today, a full-time support can easily be crushed by a full-time support compared to a support who has switched from the game.

These two players in G2's bottom lane have nothing to do with the word "normal".

The A-walking monster is a well-known inventor in the canyon. The Censer Monster gameplay and the double Goddess Tear EZ were first created by the A-walking monster, and then became popular in world-class competitions.

There are countless pioneers in developing special roads. The only one who can develop one and become popular in the professional league, forcing Riot Games to weaken it, is the A-walking monster.

A-P was the European King of Mage before Caps and the absolute main force that eliminated RNG last year. To be able to gain the recognized title of King of Mage in Europe, one can imagine his talent and hard work. Even though A-P has been practicing AD heroes this year, the muscle memory left by his previous experience of playing traditional mages will not be weakened much.

Thus.

G2 has a trick up their sleeve.

The bottom lane combo that is not easy to pull off in the EDG team is easier to use than eating and drinking for G2. You don’t even need to practice deliberately. You can use it on the field after a little familiarity!
During the interview phase, Ye Tian called on other teams to focus more on the top lane, which was also to pave the way for the combo skills to be used later and to attract the research and firepower of other teams.

"Hey hey hey hey."

Ah P smiled cunningly: "The group stage is not challenging at all. I can't wait to play the knockout stage."

"It's a pity that Iron Man can't be chosen." The A-monster felt quite regretful.

After the rework, Iron Man is extremely powerful. When fighting against heroes like Irelia and Aatrox, he only needs to use a Q first, then walk up to the enemy and fight, using basic attacks interspersed with normal attacks. Be careful not to miss the W, and you can win the battle. The shield-breaking mechanism of Crocodile and Robot is to limit Iron Man to a certain extent.

Because of this, Riot Games does not allow Iron Man to appear in world-class events.

It couldn’t be used in the previous intercontinental competition, and it’s still not allowed in the S competition.

"It's useless even if it's used but it's a fixed ban position."

Ye Tian didn’t care: “To be honest, if the opponent chooses first, I will ban Iron Man.”

"Really?" Caps' face was full of disbelief. "I have every reason to suspect that you are lying to us. Wait until next year when you are no longer on our team. Let us take Iron Man first, and then you can beat Iron Man."

"How can you judge a villain by your own standards?" Ye Tian sneered, "Since I work for the G2 team, I will tell you the truth and will not deliberately throw smoke bombs."

"This is not your style." Caps still looked skeptical.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I am not afraid of my shadow because I am crooked." Ye Tian added translation difficulty to the A-walking monster: "Go, go, go, watch C9 fight HKA. We must know J and B to win every battle."

The last game on the 13th is between C9 and HKA.

The same treatment as the wildcard team, Hong Kong Gaming, which made it through the qualifying round, does not pose any threat to HKA. There is no need to do special research on them, just target them based on the game data.

When playing against C9, you can't be too careless.

C9, known as the Light of North America, has performed very well in every World Championship, far exceeding the strength shown in the region. It must be taken seriously, and all G2 members must be dragged to watch together.

——Ye Tian doesn’t want to be attacked by G2, a notoriously busy team, and the Light of North America, to ruin his % winning rate.

In the live channel.

The lineups for both teams have been selected.

C9 has a relatively conventional top laner Crocodile, jungle Spider, mid laner Irelia, and bottom lane Galio + Titan.

HKA has Akali on top, Gragas in the jungle, Tristana in the middle, and Garen + Cat in the bottom lane.

When he saw C9 jungler Spider invade HKA's jungle area in three minutes and disrupt the development rhythm of Gragas, Ye Tian knew that the dust had settled.

Spiders invading Gragas' jungle area is not just a jungling problem.

But it is the glaring gap in the mid lane.

There is no problem for HKA to choose Akali on the top lane and Tristana on the mid lane. Countless precedents tell us that if you want to defeat the strong with the weak, you must fight hard. Following the routine of development and operation is equivalent to chronic death.

The problem is that HKA’s mid laner Tristana’s lane was pushed by Irelia.

Using W to flash and move twice is enough to offset the control and return to the tower. As long as the operation is not wrong, Tristana can protect herself safely. However, being pushed by the melee type of Irelia is just a waste of time!

really.

Just after seven minutes, Tristana was killed by Irelia who jumped over the tower.

Ten minutes later, Gragas was killed in the river by Spider and Irelia.

Fifteen minutes later, C9's top laner Crocodile had reached full combat effectiveness, while HKA's Akali was still in the development stage, and the entire game fell into C9's rhythm.

In the following small-scale team battles, C9 continued to accumulate kills and economic advantages, and obtained two fire dragons, exceeding the critical point of qualitative change and ending the game in forty-six minutes.

to be frank.

The forty-six-minute game was long and boring.

But Ye Tian still finished reading it.

It would take C9 at most thirty-five minutes to defeat HKA. The reason why it took so long was to practice with HKA and prepare for the next matches against G2 and GRF.

In other words, when facing G9 and GRF, the tactic C2 wants to adopt is to drag the game to the late stage.

This plan is easy to understand.

The later the game progresses, the less impact individual ability has on the game.

On the one hand, the attribute gap will be eliminated - after developing to six divine equipment, let alone a five-digit economic gap, even a six-digit economic gap cannot be exchanged for things that increase combat effectiveness.

Another aspect is that the operational gap will be reduced. Everyone uses one set of skills to kill people instantly, which greatly reduces the space for roundabout maneuvers.

Beyond that, there are psychological advantages.

Players who have played a comeback game should know that the mentality of going from an unfavorable situation to an even situation is completely different from that of falling from a favorable situation to an even situation.

Even if the former has a slightly lower chance of winning, it will still be very powerful.

The latter will fall into extreme internal friction and even blame each other if they encounter the slightest setback or mistake.

and.

C9 represents more than just a team.

FPX, SKT, IG and other strong teams capable of competing for the honor of the World Championship will most likely adopt the same tactical thinking when they meet G2.

C9 is unlikely to be able to drag the game to the late stages against G2. IG's current form may not allow them to drag the game to the late stages. FPX and SKT have a certain chance of dragging the game to the late stages.

Especially FPX.

The threat posed by the coordinated efforts of Monkey + Xiaotian + Liu Qingsong as mid, jungle and support is indeed great.

After G2's bottom lane combo was banned, it was not easy to solve.

Even if Ye Tian switched to the middle lane, it would not be easy to kill Monkey King who was focusing on building tank equipment while playing heroes like Kled, Crocodile, and Titan.

In order to take precautions, G2 not only needs to strengthen its offense, linkage, and special tactics, but also needs to carefully design its late-game system.

It is easy to rely on personal ability to gain an early advantage, and maintain the early advantage until everyone has six pieces of equipment in the late game... There really is a hero! (End of this chapter)
