Alliance: Let you buy the top order, you buy an old man?

Chapter 241 The six-game winning streak ends, and the playoffs are coming

"Let's go! Get off work!"

Li Mufan took off his headphones and put them on the table. He stood up and followed the factory director to shake hands with the person opposite.

Although the relationship between EDG and RNG is not bad. After all, the two teams are old rivals and have a lot of training sessions with each other. However, RNG lost the game, not only ended the winning streak, but was also beaten [-]-[-]. He had a bald head and the expression on his face was not very pretty.

Li Mufan didn't want to be that ungrateful person at this time. They won the game and had to save face for the other side. He walked over and patted each other on the shoulders to express comfort.

At the end, he bowed in the middle of the stage and thanked the fans for staying at the venue until after ten o'clock. After returning to his seat to pack his things, the on-site staff trotted over to find the factory director for a post-game interview.

It's very urgent. It's getting late now and everyone wants to get off work quickly.

It was rare that Li Mufan was not called for an interview, so he could go backstage and take a rest. In the end, this game was a victory for the team. He also played fiercely on the road, but he was not particularly conspicuous in the team battle. He was just cautious.

"Don't go out to eat today, let Brother Boo order a takeaway to come to the base!" In order to keep his head clear during the game, Jack resisted not eating at night. Now he was so hungry that his chest was touching his back. He just walked in The players in the tunnel started shouting about eating.

"Have a barbecue?" Li Mufan suggested.

"Don't do it, don't do it, it's unhealthy and unrealistic. I want to eat braised pork, big chunks!" Jack shook his head repeatedly and actually rejected Li Mufan's suggestion to eat barbecue.

"Okay, kid, how can you tell me that eating barbecue is unhealthy?" Li Mufan was surprised and rubbed the other person's head, which just reached his shoulders.

"Hey, I didn't learn this from Brother Fan, but don't tell me, every time I resist doing something unhealthy, after spending a day like this, not to mention how effective it is, I really feel a sense of accomplishment psychologically. It's even more comfortable to sleep with!" Jack sighed, feeling that his life was really good now.

The game is going on and the championship is in hand. I don’t know how much more enjoyable it is than when I was a substitute at IG!
After the exciting weekend game day, there has been a period of dullness again, of course only for EDG.

When the opponent's strength becomes weaker, there is no sense of tension.

Training, replays, and live broadcasts are all done on weekdays, and what they pay most attention to now is the incense burner system mentioned before.

In fact, Jack had already benefited from the incense burner when he was in MSI. In that scene, he and his sister used the Lulu Big Mouth combination, coupled with the incense burner, they had excellent combat power and hit several dazzling waves. Performance!
But the status of the incense burner has been upgraded from the second or third auxiliary equipment to now it doesn't care about anything, just bare the incense burner!
It's still a recent thing.

Although BP has long begun to pay attention to AD and auxiliary heroes related to the incense burner system, the two of them have been deliberately using this routine in duo queue or training matches in private.

But the result was not satisfactory.

On the last day of the round-robin match between groups A and B, EDG finally suffered its first defeat of the season in the match between EDG and WE - losing the game.

After the game, there will undoubtedly be a major review. In fact, there is no need to find the cause of the defeat. Anyone who can understand the game can easily see that this is because the bottom lane was destroyed and a monster appeared. level opponents.

It has to be said that as the season progresses, the strength of the WE bottom lane duo of brother-in-law and ben is rapidly increasing, and they have the faint intention of becoming the number one bottom lane in the LPL.

WE's use of the incense burner system has reached a level of proficiency.

In this game, jungler Kandi lived directly in the bottom lane in the early stage, and the bottom lane entry item of Double Sacred Shield also allowed Ben's economy to be significantly ahead of Mekou.

And here comes the scariest part. In the early stage, my brother-in-law will let Ben eat the soldiers!
AD gives up troops to support, let alone a game that squeezes the support economy to the limit, even in a high-scoring passerby game, such a situation will never happen.

But WE is doing something very outrageous and executing it.

There is no excessive concession of the economy, it is nothing more than giving up a few soldiers without affecting the ability to return to the city to replenish equipment.

For example, when there is no killing spree, AD is usually used to saving up 1300 Storm Sword + 75 guard control money in the first wave before returning to the city.

But at a certain point in time, the brother-in-law already has enough money, but the army line has not been dealt with yet, and he has to take another wave of lines. At this time, he will give up the economy of this wave of lines to Ben.

"There are actually two reasons for doing this." After repeatedly studying the game video, coach Nofe caught this detail, and then after careful thinking and argumentation, he thought of the principle.

"First of all, giving up this wave of soldiers will not cause the next wave to go out, and the AD combat power will be reduced. After all, if you have an extra 200 yuan, you can usually only choose to save it." nofe used the pen in his hand to draw a tactical line A big circle was drawn on the AD equipment order written in advance on the whiteboard, and it made a crisp sound when clicked twice;
"Look at the current production order of AD equipment in the bottom lane. We can easily see that the synthesis of AD equipment is not smooth, and most players are used to the storm sword, then the attack speed equipment, and then the big weapon. Swordsmen are on this path, including you, Jack."

Jack nodded in front.

"So what will happen? The first ready-made AD equipment can often be obtained in about 15 minutes, or even later! In this way, the equipment lag problem caused by giving up the economy of 300 yuan in the early stage , it won’t show up quickly!”

"Even if Jack doesn't give up his troops, he won't be able to get an equipment lead until 15 minutes later! Before that, the opponent's AD won't have a clear combat power gap with Jack just because he gave up his troops. "

"But the opponent has given the support two to three hundred dollars, so they can take out the incense burner at least a minute and a half or even two minutes earlier. During this time, they will be invincible in the bottom lane!"

Everyone sitting in a circle was silent. Even though it was just a piece of equipment on the assistant, the effect it brought was already visible to everyone, or all alliance players.

In fact, the appearance of the incense burner has become so popular in the arena and down to bronze and silver.

Without him, the incense burner auxiliary is really a bit too big to strengthen AD and even all physical heroes!
Although it is just a small move, although this move - AD allows a few soldiers to assist, it seems unreliable.

But its impact on the game has greatly impacted the long-term common understanding of all the world's top league teams and coaching staffs!

What assistance should be given to the economy?Support is the number one C in the bottom lane in the early stage!

Originally, the development of this routine should be great news for EDG.

In fact, since version 6.22, which is the pre-season period of S7, the incense burner has been revised - the price has been reduced by 100 yuan and the attack blood-sucking effect has been added.

Since then, Meiqun, who is good at soft support, has been in love with this piece of equipment for 10 minutes. In subsequent games, she also took out two or three pieces of it many times to enhance her ability to assist AD.

However, at that time, when facing the opponent's lineup with a lot of control, the priority of the Incense Burner was still not as high as that of the Crucible; after all, the latter can remove control, and many times once AD ​​is controlled, it will end in seconds. If AD dies, the Incense Burner will be released. It's useless no matter how much output you can add.

The current incense burner routine, to put it bluntly, is that in the understanding of monster A, the importance of the incense burner is infinitely magnified, and all equipment and everything, including eye stones, must make way for the incense burner!And WE is even more cruel, asking AD to give up economy to the support, so as to achieve the effect of making the incense burner ahead of time!
The result was as they hoped. The Censer support has dominated the game and cannot be targeted with BP.

No way, the effect of the incense burner can be triggered as long as it has a healing or shielding effect on the target, and the assistants that can achieve this condition are Lulu, Luo, Feng Nu, Nami, Qin Nu, Wet Nurse, Thresh, and Gem.
There is simply no way to list them all.

Under this premise, it is not surprising that EDG was caught off guard by WE.

Even if the coaching staff and players on the field focused their attention, they could only see that there was a gap in the bottom lane's combat power. Even if they could find out in a short period of time that the gap in combat power came from the incense burner, there was no replay on site and no one could tell. Understand how good laning online creates poor auxiliary economy.

Once you know what the problem is, you need to practice accordingly.

In the next few days, EDG scheduled more training matches. They first trained Jack and his sister on their hands, and then solved the problems that arose during training one by one.

Because Meikou is already very good at soft support heroes, after solving the problem of lineup understanding, the strength of the bottom lane combination has improved rapidly.

On August 8, it was already on the verge of the end of the summer regular season.

There are only ten days left before the final battle on August 8.

There was no EDG game today. They easily won against OMG in the training match. They had six wins and one loss in seven training matches, with a winning rate of 85%!

Although there are also reasons for opponents.

OMG has been very unstable recently.

In the intercontinental competition, OMG exploded and won two consecutive victories. After returning to the LPL, they should usher in a leap in strength. No matter how bad they are, they can squeeze into the top five of the LPL. If they work hard, they can compete for a spot in the world championship!
You must know that since S4, OMG, a veteran giant and the former Light of the Planet, has not touched the threshold of the World Championship for two consecutive years. From the management to the players, everyone is eager for the stage that symbolizes the highest honor, to compete with Compete with the top teams from other regions!
In particular, when OMG's results in foreign competitions are very satisfactory, they are even more eager to go to the World Championships.

However, it backfired.

Without any warning, OMG switched the substitute jungler jiekou to the substitute AD, and replaced Sima Laothi in the game against Lao Gan Daddy.

The original bottom lane combination of Lao Thief and Xiao Wu was definitely one of the best in the LPL, regardless of how strong it was. Jiekou was just a substitute jungler in their team. The results of this replacement can be imagined.

Even though Lao Gan Daddy has hit rock bottom this year, and the Wild Law King has become a hilarious combination in the LPL, they are at least five people who play the game normally; OMG, your original hard power is not top-notch, and you can basically win the game. If a player is so hot, why can he still win the game by messing around?

He was beaten [-]-[-] by the old godfather, and he got off work at the speed of light in one hour!
The two bottom lanes were cleared to the second tower!
After the game, Sima Laothi, who has always been taciturn, posted a long blog post on Weibo to explain the conflict between himself and the club.

In short, the coach's BP does not revolve around the bottom lane, and the early tactical system set up by the coach and jungler does not revolve around the bottom lane; but most of the games won will ultimately depend on the bottom lane, so Sima Laothi is preparing for Try your best to gain a higher tactical position.

But the coaching staff didn’t want to give it.

Conflict broke out between the two, and eventually ended with the old thief Sima being hidden in the snow.

Everyone in EDG was extremely disappointed when they returned to the club after the game. They didn't expect that OMG, which had just shined in the intercontinental competition last month, would have something like this happen in just a few game weeks.

After such problems, it can be said that OMG is basically finished this year. Even if the old thieves and the coaching staff can put aside their differences and cooperate again in the face of results, the knots in the hearts of both parties will not disappear.

In e-sports, any detail that affects a player's status is extremely important. Few people can perform operations at the upper limit when their mentality is disturbed. What's more, for the current OMG, hitting the upper limit is not enough.

In the current LPL, EDG and WE dominate Group A and Group B respectively, and then IG and RNG tightly bite the score. There are wins and losses among these four teams, and it is obvious that they are in the same level of strength.

And OMG can only be regarded as the second-tier team outside these four teams. Faced with only three qualifications for the World Championship, they need to surprise and surpass everyone's expectations in order to possibly steal it from other LPL teams. A World Championship spot!

Without the old thief, OMG was no match for them. It lost games against JD.com and RNG one after another, and finally ended its summer split with three consecutive losses.

EDG became more and more courageous as they fought.

In today's games, soft assists are wreaking havoc in the bottom lane, but LPL has always had more players who are good at hard assists, so Meikuan's suppressive power in the bottom lane is unparalleled, and she can play a great role in every game.

Sometimes Jack in the bottom lane is still finishing the damage, and Meikou has already consumed the remaining health of the two opponents by himself. Then he grabs the second level and calls the factory director. He can beat the opponent home once in 2 minutes!
This kind of suppression made other teams unable to bear it, and even IG's bottom lane was beaten hard.

In the end, after EDG lost to WE, they won another six games in a row. It wasn't perfect, but it still ended the summer split relatively smoothly.

"It's not bad. It's no surprise that I won the first place in Group B."

In the EDG training room, Abramovich and coach Nofe were sitting in the main seats. The players were sitting on both sides. Abramovich held a playoff game chart in his hand and said: "This first place is still more important, which means that we will start from the semi-finals." The finals begin!”

The Summer Split is the same as the Spring Split, with a cross-match method based on regular season rankings, with eliminations from bottom to top.

Under this format, every time you drop one ranking, you have to play one more round.

For example, if they lose the game against IG in the end, they may fall to No. 2 in Group B, and then they will play one more BO3 with No. 5 from Group A.

Since the weight of points brought by the final ranking of the summer split is much higher than that of the spring split, you don’t have to wait until the day of the game to know that at the most critical moment of the year, all teams will bring out their best and all the best stuff. Come fight for a spot in the World Championship!

In this case, playing one less round means less risk and less exposure.

Sometimes this 'exposure' does not just refer to some special heroes, combinations, or tactical systems that have not been on the court, but also includes player habits, your team's recent understanding of the version, and which route. It's the weak point of your version and so on.

Each of these pieces of information is extremely important for a matchup between top teams.

The more games you play, the more material your opponents will have to study you, and the more likely you are to be targeted by tactics!

EDG, who are waiting for challengers in the last round of Group B, and WE, the top spot in Group A on the other side, are all busy preparing for the final playoff battle!
