Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

The Stripper - Silas!
As a new hero that debuted in January 19, Sylas was positioned from the very beginning as a mid-lane mage who "returns the favor in his own way."

but.

Sylas's win rate as a mid laner is average, generally below 36%, and in the bloodiest and most violent LPL region it's even as low as an exaggerated %.

Seeing this situation, a player moved the cave without any chicken and replaced Sylas to the top lane to try it out.

Just try it and you will see the effect.

——Silas’s winning rate has increased to more than 60%!
The reason is actually not difficult to understand.

On the one hand, as a melee hero, Sylas, when he is not proficient enough, will suffer some extra damage when facing a ranged mage because his arms are not long enough.

In terms of skill mechanism, when Sylas's E [Abduction] misses, it is difficult for him to perform W [King's Stab]. Missing one is equivalent to missing two skills + two basic attacks with passive + health recovery, further reducing the confrontation intensity of low-proficiency players.

Another aspect is that because Ye Tian led the team to win the championship twice in S7 and S8, the top lane hero was drastically weakened by the designer. In the top lane position which mainly depends on hard attributes, Sylas, as a new hero, naturally occupied a place.

The designer spent half a year looking at it.

Very unhappy.

For the party who takes the initiative to take the new approach, the behavior of finding a new way often brings a strange sense of pleasure.

But for the party who is forced to bear it, as long as they don’t have any special hobbies that are different from ordinary people, they will not feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

So, in the last patch for the World Finals, the designer, who could no longer tolerate it, cut Sylas from the South Gate of Heaven to the East Road of Penglai, reducing Sylas' basic armor, growth armor and passive damage at one time.

This wave of nerfs is quite outrageous.

Most of the nerfs are aimed at one attribute, and sometimes other attributes will be strengthened while weakening, such as weakening the foundation and increasing growth to maintain a balance between the early and late stages, or canceling the ability of Sword Demon to hold Q and accumulate E but provide returns and reduce CD compensation; it is extremely rare to cut tankiness, growth tankiness and damage at the same time like Sylas.

It is no exaggeration to say that in just one version, Sylas has completed the journey that Irelia took in a season.

In terms of strength, Sylas may not even make it to T2 in this version where Crocodile is fierce, Jayce is crazy, and Gangplank's Kayle is counter-attacking. So much so that since the play-in round, Sylas's Ban/Pick rate has been 0.00, which can easily make veterans think of something that is not suitable for children...

"but."

I remember that after briefly introducing the heroes' situation, I changed the subject: "DWG must have a Kayle in the middle and top lanes. Kayle is very difficult to play against Syndra or Sylas - Kayle doesn't have much AD damage, and Sylas's less armor doesn't have much impact, and the ten points less in the passive are not that important."

Kayle is a hero that goes from being weak at level 2 to level 15.

As long as Sylas doesn't fight Kayle to death at level 1, he can hang Kayle, a melee hero before level 6, in the air. Even if Kayle is upgraded to level 6 and transformed into a ranged hero, she will still be abducted and bleed heavily by Sylas' E [Abduct].

"The most important point is that it was Brother Tian who used Silas."

Wang Duoduo said with an inexplicable smile: "Fans who follow Tian Ge should know a very interesting statistic like me, that is, Tian Ge has basically never won a single game in the Korean server King's League with Sylas this season... Does it give you a familiar feeling?"

"It's cooked. It's very cooked!" Ze Yuan almost couldn't hold it in.

New heroes.

I have basically never won in the Korean server's King's League.

What can you think of?
Of course it’s Aatrox, Irelia, and Akali before the Asian Games!
Last year, some people suspected that Ye Tian was just starting to play after winning the world championship. He was only thinking about making money through live streaming and was unwilling to practice heroes properly.

Seeing that Ye Tian coached for another world championship and treated all the top laners except The shy like pigs, and even The shy could only retreat to the tower, it was extremely stupid to doubt that Ye Tian would start to move.

This damn thing Silas has a win rate of over 60% in professional competitions. Ye Tian’s win rate with Silas has almost dropped to single digits. Who the hell would believe it!

Side of the stage.

Coach Kim Jeong-soo, who was standing behind the DWG players, had a frozen expression on his face.

As the coach of IG club last year, when The shy was the top laner in the team, Kim Jeong-soo had a headache about what hero to use to deal with Ye Tian in the top lane. Now the top laner Nuguri is half a step behind The shy. Does Kim Jeong-soo dare to let Nuguri use Kyle against Sylas?

"Give me Kyle."

Mid laner ShowMaker is very responsible: "Xia Quan (Nuguri) is an offensive player. It will be very uncomfortable to use Kayle to resist pressure. I am confident that I can hold off Syndra and won't let him have a chance to kill me."

"Well... okay." Kim Jeong-soo pondered for a moment and nodded.

Although ShowMaker has strong personal abilities, the number of times he carries the team is still far behind Nuguri.

In addition, ShowMaker is a development-oriented player, while Nuguri is a pure offensive player, so it is more reasonable to put the responsibility of bearing pressure on ShowMaker.

To take a step back, even if ShowMaker's Kayle cannot withstand Caps' Syndra, he still has a way to exchange ultimate skills in team fights, which is much easier to deal with than Nuguri being defeated by Ye Tian.

"Then help me get the sword girl."

Nuguri took the initiative to say: "Sylas' armor has been reduced by 4 points, and the growth per level is 0.5 less than before. It will be easy to play with Sword Princess."

"Okay!" After Jin Jingzhu agreed, he gave another instruction: "You don't need to gain a big advantage in the laning phase. Just stay steady, use Fiora's split push attribute, and tie up Tian."

"Don't worry, coach. I understand everything!" Nuguri agreed readily, but there was a strange light in his eyes.

Hold on?

Is there anything more stable than killing the opponent's top laner so that he can't stay in the lane?
Tian is indeed the well-deserved number one in the world, but my Nuguri has played against The shy three times. The previous accumulation has been transformed into strength, and I will definitely not be at a disadvantage when I meet The shy again.

Using the enhanced Fiora to fight against Sylas, who has been nerfed and has reduced his strength, wouldn’t it be too cowardly not to kill him? !
When the last hero is selected, after exchanges and adjustments, the lineups of both sides are determined.

Blue side: G2
Red side: DWG
Top lane: Sylas vs Fiora
Jungler: Barrel vs Blind Sin
Mid: Syndra vs Kayle
AD: Xayah vs Kai'Sa
Support: Rakan vs Dawn
"DWG gave Nuguri a tit-for-tat Fiora in the last pick. This game should be a rare attack-for-attack match in the top lane!"

I remember the anticipation in his voice: "The last player who played against Brother Tian in an offensive match was IG's The Shy. Since then, we haven't seen Brother Tian in the professional arena."

[Hahahaha, laughing to death]

【I haven't seen Tian Ge is real】

[It’s so hard for fans. They have to wait a whole year for Brother Zhui Tian’s competition]

[Isn’t Brother Tian live streaming? You can always watch the Ranked games.]

[Stop kidding, is Tiange good at Ranked? The top single Joker has the highest win rate, and the second is the top single Teemo]

【Finally I can see Brother Tian taking the laning seriously】

The audience is looking forward to this game.

Ye Tian's playing style in Rank highlights an abstraction. He either punishes the Joker or Teemo to enter the jungle to steal the buff, or punishes Alchemist or Garen to cut off the minion line at the beginning of the game, making the professional players who practice heroes in the Korean server's King's Bureau exhausted, and there is no quality of the game at all.

Reporting is useless.

It’s not that the authorities don’t handle it.

In fact, the Koreans who manage the Korean server like to target Ye Tian. Even if Riot Games suggested giving a certain amount of respect to "Tongtiandai", the Koreans would not accept this suggestion. From time to time, they would ban Ye Tian's small accounts except the super account on the grounds of passive gaming.

however.

How long will it take Ye Tian to create a master account with a high win rate that can be matched into the King's game?
——Seven days.

This is the speed at which Ye Tian only played Rank during the six hours of live broadcast and did not move after the broadcast.

After Ye Tian was targeted several times, he started to play a group of small accounts when he had nothing to do. If one was blocked, he could play with all his strength for a whole day to get another one. The Koreans could not block it unless they targeted the IP.

Targeting IP?

Given Ye Tian's influence in the MOBA competition League of Legends, the Koreans are reluctant to ban his account without reason. At least they have to have a reasonable reason before they can do so.

"This little bastard Ye Tian must be good at playing Silas."

Zzitai, Zzitai and Shenchao were on the same microphone to commentate: “But to be honest, it’s not that easy for Sylas to beat Fiora, especially against the Korean Fiora.”

"Is the Korean Swordsman very strong?" Shen Chao didn't understand.

"I don't know whether Korean Fiora is strong or not, but I know they know Sylas very well." Zizi smiled.

[You know about stealing men, right? ]

【Fuck, classic! 】

[Koreans are really good at stealing]

[It has always been the Koreans who have stolen from us, so why can’t we steal something from the Koreans? Can’t we apply for their things to be listed as World Heritage? ]

[If the Koreans have something that we don’t, I can only think of American soldiers]

There are many talented people in barrage.

Before the camera turned to Summoner's Rift, it first scanned the faces of the ten players from G2 and DWG.

Ye Tian is as calm and composed as ever. Just looking at his expression, he gives the onlookers a feeling that everything is under control. With the halo of being a substitute for two consecutive world championships and still killing people in this year's world championship, Ye Tian is the absolute protagonist in the eyes of the audience even though he is at home in Europe.

the other side.

Nuguri, who played in the top lane position, received special attention.

As a new generation talent, Nuguri entered the professional circle in the summer of 17 and led the team to advance to LCK in the spring of 18. This year, he defeated a number of veteran powerhouses and won the title of No. in LCK. In the third game of the group stage, he did not lose to The shy+Ning.

Having achieved such an excellent record, Nuguri naturally had an unconcealable pride on his face. Compared with Ye Tian, ​​his appearance, which was somewhat similar to that of the Darkin Sword Demon, automatically made him a villain.

【G2——】

【G2——】

【G2——】

As before, the European home stadium was filled with cheers for the G2 club.

Even though they had come to Madrid, more than 2 kilometers away from Berlin, the audience supported different teams, but at this moment, both the ancient powerhouse FNC and the new generation dark horse SPY were defeated, and all European fans could only pin their hopes on G.

If they win G2, Europe will have a chance to win the world championship and regain its former glory.

If they lose G2, Europe will be beaten from a rising star to a weakling.

"Okay, enter Summoner's Rift!"

"G2 on the blue side versus DWG on the red side!"

Ze Yuan introduced himself: "I am honored to bring you the live commentary of this game. I am Ze Yuan."

"I remember."

"I am Wang Duoduo."

"This game is full of highlights." I remember the second person who spoke: "DWG played Kayle first, G2 used Syndra + Sylas to counter, and DWG used Fiora to counter Sylas. So, whether it is the confrontation between the mid, bottom and jungle, or the game between Tian Ge and Nuguri in the top lane, it directly affects the outcome of the game."

"Every position is crucial." Wang Duoduo continued: "Both sides were scattered on both sides of the river. Gragas went into DWG's jungle to take a look, placed a ward on the red buff, and had a small collision with Lee Sin... It should be harmless."

"The audience is still cheering and supporting." I remember listening to the voice coming: "Indeed, first the European Snakes SPY bloody battle SKT ignited the audience's emotions, and G2, as the trump card of the division, faced the Korean team. The audience must be looking forward to G2's return of color to the Korean team."

"The wild monsters have refreshed. Lee Sin knows that there is a ward on the red buff, so he still chooses to start with the red buff. This way, he can use the level 2 gank to bring a certain threat to Tian Ge."

G2 jungler Jankos used Gragas and adopted the classic F6 start, intending to eat the three high-experience wild monsters of F6+Red BUFF+Scarab, protect Xayah and Rakan who would definitely push the line, and then move to the upper area to develop.

Finished watching the jungle.

The director ignored the one-sided mid and bottom lanes and quickly switched the view to the top lane where Sylas and Fiora were.

The cornerstone rune Ye Tian chose was Grasp of the Undying, and his going-out equipment was Dark Seal + Reusable Potion. Just looking at this combination, you can tell how confident he is.

Nuguri’s confidence level is just as high as Ye Tian’s. His starting equipment of Doran’s Blade + Red Potion is pretty standard, but in terms of keystone runes, Nuguri chose Kleptomancy!

"Sylas who steals ultimates versus Fiora who steals gold."

"To steal belongs to yes."

After Ze Yuan made a joke, he got back to the point: "But to be honest, it's good for Sylas to steal other ultimates. Dawn's ultimate can start a team fight, Lee Sin can string together candied haws, and Kayle's ultimate is the best. Not only can she be invincible, but it also doesn't affect the release of skills. Even if you steal Kaisa's ultimate, you can still move."

"But what's the point of stealing Fiora's ultimate? It's useless! If I put the health recovery array on Fiora, can Sylas break the flaw?"

"Uh... a one-on-one fight is actually okay?" I remember imagining it.

"Sylas is a mage, even a melee mage, he is not qualified to fight against Fiora!" Ze Yuan firmly believed it.

While talking.

Ye Tian stacked up the Grasp of Undying and had his first fight with Nuguri.

The two men attacked each other, Nuguri slid to Ye Tian's side, used [Breaking Air Slash] to break the first flaw, triggering the omen of theft, and retreated with the acceleration effect.

Ye Tian immediately used W [King's Stab] to cause damage and restore health points, and then launched a normal attack with the passive [Break the Enemy's Forbidden Spell], gaining a health advantage of more than 200.

In a normal game, this attack should hit the minions, use the AOE effect to control the lane, and then snowball.

Since DWG jungler Lee Sin clearly soloed his position after the red buff and it took at least three minutes for Gragas to move to the upper zone, Ye Tian could not push forward at the beginning of the game and could only use him to consume Fiora, which was much less effective.

It seems that he is leading by a large margin, but as Fiora takes control of the line and reaches level 2 first, Ye Tian can only retreat. Fiora can slowly get back to normal with the help of Doran's Blade and natural health recovery.

Nuguri was also aware of this and continued to exchange blood with Ye Tian. He didn't care even when his health dropped to one third, making it clear that he had the help of Lee Sin.

During the confrontation, Nuguri controlled the health of the soldiers to be uneven, increasing the difficulty for Ye Tian to make up for the tower damage, causing Ye Tian to miss a melee soldier and get a free [Breakthrough Slash].

"Oops."

"I missed a cut, and my development is poor."

Ye Tian couldn't help but frown. (End of this chapter)
