Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

Compared with the first game against GRF, Ye Tian was much more satisfied with the performance in this game against C9.

Especially the Qiyana used by Jankos.

The Hula Hoop Girl, which was launched in version 9.13, attracted the attention of countless professional players as soon as it went online. Even in the summer season where everyone's proficiency was far from enough, Qiyana's ban rate was around %.

Entering the playoffs and bubble matches, Qiyana's Ban/Pick rate is close to 100% in all major regions.

Compared to other new heroes who require a large number of matches, Qiyana's regular output method is the EQ combo that is sure to hit, and there is no possibility of failure.

In terms of mechanism, W picks up water elements with built-in control, and picking up grass elements not only provides range invisibility, but also gains a movement speed bonus while in it. The earth elements that can be found everywhere provide extra damage, highlighting a simple and crude approach.

What's even more exaggerated is the ultimate skill [Amazing Sights]. As long as there is terrain nearby, it can achieve a powerful control that combines push and stun.

Let’s convert the existing heroes.

Qiyana's EQWQ combo is equivalent to the combination of Spider's ranged E + ranged W and melee Q. The elemental invisibility in the grass is equivalent to half of Akali's [Twilight Shroud]. The ultimate is equivalent to an all-round enhanced Gnar's ultimate. Combined with the generally high basic stats of new heroes, it is definitely the No. 1 jungler.

Previously.

Jankos has never been good at using Qiyana.

The reason was not the news of "being addicted to World of Warcraft" revealed by a player from the same division during an interview.

But the fit is not enough.

All professional players are talented. Even those who have wasted their time in secondary leagues, or even those weaklings who were beaten so badly in youth training camps that they can't even play, can become kings who kill people in Rank.

Heroes that are compatible enough can play in any match against AI.

The fit is not good enough, no matter how many times you practice, it will not be good. Even if you spend several months to grind it out, it will still feel a bit strange when put into actual combat.

Addicted to World of Warcraft?

How to raise the account to level 30 on a platform where the maximum level is 25?
Those are all very insignificant things.

Due to the extremely long delay caused by physical distance, European players are unable to go to the Korean server to compete with the LPL and LCK regions. Except for the training games which have a certain intensity, the quality of daily rankings basically has no effect of improving.

In particular, in order to compensate for the impact of player loss, Riot Games optimized the matching mechanism by using forced replacement.

This is good news for most recreational players. They don’t need to wait for several minutes in the gold and silver segments. They can click into the queue and start a game with fair-skinned, beautiful girls with big waves at the fastest speed.

But in the Masters and Kings game where most people only specialize in one position or even one hero, forced filling in is simply disgusting.

Professional players would rather queue for half an hour to play a high-quality game where everyone gets a position they are good at, rather than play a big melee game where the positions are filled in a mess.

What's more, the person who fills the position may very well be yourself.

In summary.

Jankos's extra seconds in Ranked games and extra World of Warcraft RPG games have little to do with his poor use of Qiyana.

In fact, Jankos did quite well in terms of clearing the jungle, pulling the jungle, maintaining the condition, and early GANK. His main shortcoming was that he could not find the right opportunity to attack in team battles. He either held on to his ultimate and was unwilling to use it, or he worked hard to find the angle for a long time and then used his ultimate to push the air.

The improvement is simple.

——Just focus on one hero and use his ultimate skill.

With Ye Tian, ​​Caps and the crazy Xiao P in the bottom lane, the G2 five-man team has no shortage of output cores, nor is it short of harvesting points.

As a jungler, Jankos can definitely make a profit by completing a one-for-one trade with the opponent's C position.

Besides.

A P is more likely to be taken care of by Jankos than A-monster.

It’s not that Jankos treats one person differently than the other, but as an old teammate who has always played the role of mid-jungle synergy, Jankos knows what shape will appear as soon as Ah P takes off his pants... cough cough cough!

“It has to be Tian!”

"Just one sentence has raised my level to a higher level!"

After Jankos finished the interview, he returned to the backstage and praised Ye Tian. He then disliked his old teammates: "Small Caps and Ah P only told me to practice more. One hundred games are not enough. I should practice two hundred games. Why didn't they tell me to focus on one C position earlier?"

"I can't say you'll win if you get to the center position." Caps made an expression similar to Mr. Bean: "After we win the first two games, we can study our opponents in the knockout stage, right?"

"You also want to learn from Mingkai?" Ye Tian was happy.

"Of course." Caps said confidently: "I even want to study my opponent in the finals!"

Not a Caps fanatic.

After defeating GRF and C9, G2's only opponents in the first round of the group stage are Hong Kong Attitude and HKA.

As the MSI champion and European full-year champion, does it take much effort to beat the LMS third seed, which is almost the same as a wildcard?
It is true that a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, and it is also true that a rabbit can kick an eagle. But if HKA is the rabbit, G2 is the equivalent of a dragon soaring in the sky, which can cook HKA, the rabbit, into a dish with just a breath.

"It's really hard to predict the opponent in the final. Let's wait until the group stage is over."

Ye Tian did not have an accurate judgment on the teams participating in the S9 finals.

According to the normal timeline, S9 was the year when League of Legends went from prosperity to decline.

As the golden generation gradually hands over the baton, the silver generation and pseudo-silver generation become the main force in the field, the overall strength of professional players will no longer increase year by year as before, but will show a downward trend.

The decline here does not mean that the S14 team cannot beat the S8 team.

With a deeper understanding and more accumulation, and after competing across several seasons, it is difficult to create suspense about the outcome.

But just like The Shy in his twilight years can still educate the new generation of top laners and Hakihu in his twilight years always suppresses the promising Golden Left Hand, in this Iron Age where the desire to win is not so strong and commercial value needs to be supported by performance on the field, it is difficult for new talents to cultivate the mentality of "If you think there is no chance, I'll go up and give it a try" from the veterans.

It is common to see people trying to avoid mistakes without seeking credit, or to force themselves to protect their data even though they know it will be disadvantageous for subsequent team battles.

In terms of hard attributes, which is to quantify laning, awareness, support, and team battles, the silver generation and pseudo-silver generation may be higher than the few old guys left over from the golden age.

However, this hard attribute is difficult to fully utilize and will always be discounted due to various reasons.

but.

Due to the X factor of Ye Tian, ​​the version trend and the physical condition of some professional players have changed. The gap in public opinion and value has become more obvious, and the strength of the players and even the team is naturally shrouded in a layer of fog.

Can the resurgent SKT, or more precisely Faker, experience a third spring?

Will the little Phoenix FPX be able to successfully reborn and rise against the trend, or will it sink all the way in the group stage?

Can IG lift King Ning and reproduce the complete form of S8?

RNG now has Letme, who has not retired yet, as a member of the pendant group. Is there a chance to make it to the knockout stage around the hexagonal UZI?

Everything is still unknown.

"Congratulations, Brother Tian."

"G2 has secured a 3-0 victory in the first round."

JackeyLove was chatting with a group of more than a dozen wolves in Ionia: "A few days ago, some people were not optimistic about Tian Ge's performance. At that time, my buddy said that with Tian Ge's level, no matter how the version is changed, he will just kill randomly."

"Yes." Mala Xiang Guo expressed his support: "Just look at The shy. The shy is still invincible in LPL. Is it possible that Tian Ge is weaker than him? The development version is the most suitable for Tian Ge."

"Brother Tian is well-known for his love of development." Shi Ye's first spear jumped out to flatter.

"If you keep pampering me, you will be blamed for any problems." Ye Tian joked, "We will play against the provincial team tomorrow, and we might really lose. The provincial team is still quite strong this year."

The hotel where FPX is staying. Gao Tianliang, who was peeking at the screen, turned pale.

"Wow!"

"I was named by Brother Tian."

Doinb took a look and started to yell in his chair: "We can't call our loss to TJ a failure to the provincial team. They were the No. 1 seed of LMS and the former world champion. How can we call losing to them a failure?"

"If we lose again, we'll be finished." LWX said faintly: "After losing to TJ, we lost to European Snakes, and after losing to European Snakes, we lost to Vietnam. They don't care about their reputation anymore."

"Face? The team will be disbanded!" Liu Qingsong said the most serious words in the most relaxed tone: "The No. 0 seed is 3-. I'm afraid they won't even be able to play in the LPL when they go back. Even if there are LPL teams that want them, they will probably be the weakest ones. It's better to start from the LSPL."

"It's now called LDL." Dacongming said prudently.

"Okay, okay, LDL." Liu Qingsong was helpless towards Dacongming.

"Disband? West Eight! No way!" West Eight player GimGoon slammed the table hard: "We can't lose. We must win all the remaining group matches!"

Compared to LWX and Liu Qingsong, two young people who have the possibility to start over, GimGoon, who was born in 95, has declined a lot compared to his peak period. He has changed from a fierce attack like The shy to a pressure-resistant team-fighting style.

For GimGoon, it will be difficult for him to enter the World Championship again in his lifetime, and this tournament may even be his last dance in the professional arena.

Even if you lose, you must lose beautifully.

We must never leave the stage with the shame of a losing streak.

"Maya!"

"How can we disband?"

Doinb patted his chest and made a hollow sound: "Don't worry, I have figured out the version pattern of the World Championship. We will not lose a single game and advance to the knockout stage!"

When Xiaotian heard the monkey's boast, his face was still very gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Several hours passed.

Xiaotian looked at the night view of Europe in the early morning, took a screenshot of "We will play against the provincial team tomorrow, and we might really lose. The provincial team is still very strong this year", and posted a Weibo with the caption - I always encounter disgusting things, I am in a bad mood, and I can't find a rope even if I want to hang myself.

As the No. 1 seed of LPL on the verge of collapse, FPX attracted the attention of countless players. Although Xiaotian deleted the Weibo post immediately after posting it, it was still saved by fans.

When the content was reposted on Tieba, it immediately caused an uproar.

First of all, this passage is in Chinese.

Then, RNG and FPX, who will play tomorrow, will face FNC and GAM respectively. The former is a European giant, and the latter is the leader of Vietnam. Neither of them can be associated with the word provincial team.

The only ones who speak Chinese and play against the provincial team are Ye Tian and A-Walking Monster in G2.

To speculate further, if the conversation on the QQ interface was posted by the A-walking monster, it is hard to say whether Xiaotian, the main jungler of FPX, would care about it. He would definitely not post on Weibo in the middle of the night and delete the message immediately after it was posted.

Excluding all impossibilities, there is no longer any suspense about who initiated the conversation.

[To be honest, Xiaotian had two failures in a row, so he must be upset to see this sentence]

[Mainly two games of trying my best, my teammates were not good enough]

[Let me reveal my identity first. I am an EDG fan. It is a bit too much for Tian Ge to mock the team in the same division, especially since FPX has a game tomorrow. It will easily affect their mentality.]

[Don't mess around, there is no dog in our starch that barks at Brother Tian]

[Is there something wrong with what Brother Tian said? The provincial team is indeed strong this year. TJ can beat the No. 1 seed of LPL, and AHQ can fight back and forth with last year's world runner-up. Do you mean to say they are weak? Telling the truth will disgust some people? ]

[To be honest, Xiaotian shouldn't say that Brother Tian's words are disgusting. He should be referring to his teammates.]

[Where did this come from? Is someone deliberately trying to stir up trouble? QQ records are randomly forged and may not be true]

Various speculations emerged in the post.

Not long after, a player dug out Shiye's live broadcast video and found the complete conversation from it.

Considering the context, Jack, Xiang Guo and Shi Ye were the first to express their support, and their subsequent responses were reasonable and there was nothing wrong with them. It was Xiaotian's sensitivity that made the onlookers feel puzzled by posting a message on Weibo.

[Others were chatting normally in the group, but he didn't dare to speak. He took screenshots and went crazy. Is he mentally ill? ]

[After reading this, Brother Tian is not being sarcastic]

[Brother Tian mocked him? He didn't even look at him straight in the eye, okay? He should at least be as good as Faker, The shy, or UZI in the past two years, so that Brother Tian would take him seriously.]

[Assigned to the weakest group, lost twice in a row, I don’t know who is disgusting whom]

[No wonder Tian Ge didn’t go to FPX. Not to mention 3.5 million, he wouldn’t go even if he got million]

[It’s okay to be bad. EDG has always been bad in the world game, but they know their level. They can listen to Tian Ge’s scolding. FPX’s jungler can’t be criticized at all. You have to praise him when you talk to him.]

[If you are not allowed to scold the dish you beat, can you use love to persuade it? 】

[The previous line is outdated. Now you have to praise the bad guys, or you can cosplay as Sunny Doll]

[I am so angry and amused. Is this the No. 1 seed of LPL? Even the Optimistic Family is not so shameful]

Not only did Tieba spark heated discussions, but there was also an outpouring of emotion on Weibo.

Even FPX fans felt that it was inappropriate for Xiaotian to go crazy late at night and demanded that the club come forward to give an explanation.

See this.

The FPX club management is in a dilemma.

How to give an explanation?
There is no way to give it!

If the "disgusting thing" is directed at Ye Tian, ​​FPX will definitely fall in terms of public opinion.

With Ye Tian's unparalleled fans and popularity among the public, not to mention that his post on Weibo is completely unreasonable, even if there is a barely acceptable reason, it will still bring an unbearable blow to FPX.

You mean teammates?
Not yet.

Although FPX has lost two games in a row, facing three weak teams in Group B, the possibility of qualifying is very high. They must not let the players fight among themselves at this time and make a big joke of the number one seed being eliminated in the group stage.

Logically speaking, the best approach for FPX is to just ignore the situation and try to stage a comeback in the next four group matches.

Professional teams will always rely on strength and results.

If we can make a comeback in the group stage, all our attacks will be diluted. If we can’t make a comeback in the group stage...it won’t matter at all!

Won’t it be itchy if there are too many lice?
However, as managers, Ms. Bi Lian and Ms. Li had a sudden idea and released a piece of gossip - Xiaotian's Weibo post refers to Doinb, who can't play any mainstream mid laner and only knows how to play mixed heroes.

The next day.

Ye Tian had just gotten up, washed, and was preparing to study the games of several strong teams such as RNG, FNC, SKT, and FPX when he received a system prompt.

[Congratulations to the host for winning the title of [Golden Jade Marriage]]

"Ok?"

Ye Tian didn’t know how exciting this night was yet, he just felt confused.

The S9 finals haven't even finished yet and they've already gotten married. Isn't it a bit early? (End of this chapter)
