All-Round Mid Laner - Chapter 197
In the 8-to-4 knockout, the match between Tianhuan and HER was the first, and Tianhuan advanced 3:0.
The other groups were also played over the next two days. Among them, the first FNO team in Group A defeated the second TIP team in Group B 3:1 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
The first ATB team in Group D defeated the second GOW team in Group C 3:0 and advanced to the semi-finals.
As the champion team in North America, FNO is expected to advance.
There is no doubt about the promotion of ATB. As the most favored team by the media in this World Series, they are fighting in South Korea. The players are very strong, and the fans are also very enthusiastic.
So far, ATB has won three consecutive 2-0 in the group stage of the BO3 format. In the 8-in-4 BO5 knockout match, he defeated his opponent 3:0, and he has never lost a small game, which shows how strong he is.
Tianhuan also played 2:0 in three group matches and 3:0 in the knockout rounds, the same record as ATB, but in the eyes of the Korean media, Tianhuan belongs to “good luck”, the group stage is in Group C, and the opponents are all Is the underdog, 2:0 is nothing to wonder.
In this regard, Tianhuan official did not make any response.
3 of the top 4 seats have been confirmed, and 1 is still missing.
All eyes are on the last game of 8 into 4.
Beimu, who qualified for the second place in Group A, faced the first place in Group B, the AMT team from Europe.
This game has attracted a lot of attention, not only because the result of the game will determine the semi-finals list and the next draw, but also for two very important reasons——
First, Sean is from the European Division, and there will be a lot of controversy whether he wins or loses against a European team. Second, the captains of the two teams are the few female Alphas in the professional arena.
Zhao Xinping, who is both a strong fighter and a shooter, has a calm and resolute personality, and his style of play is steady and old-fashioned. The new jungler Vanessa from Europe is blond and blue-eyed, beautiful in appearance, and sharp and sharp when killing people on the field.
The two female A have countless fans around the world, many fans, and their popularity is very high. In addition, Sean is from Europe. This controversial game has also attracted widespread attention from e-sports fans around the world, and the live broadcast ratings have hit a new high for the S10 World Series.
Before the start of the game, the domestic blogger who likes prediction [Poison Milk] once again analyzed on Weibo: “I bet that Beimu will win 3:2 in this game. Although Vanessa is very strong, it is her first time to participate in the competition. In the world competition, it is inevitable that you lack experience. Zhao Xinping and Zhao Xinan have won the world doubles championship, they have rich experience in competitions, and they are more calm.”
“If Beimu chooses two-sided fighters, it will be difficult for assassins to kill fighters; Sean is a player with a very keen sense of smell, and it is not easy to kill mid laners. If Vanessa wants to cut Beimu’s C position, it will become impossible to start. You can only go to the jungle area. But the rhythm of Vanessa’s jungle area is not as good as Chi Shuo’s, and it is difficult to beat Beimu’s jungle area like Tianhuan.”
“What’s more, Beimu 3rd Road is strong, and the team fight kills the opponent’s back row, and the opponent can’t fight.”
When Lin Feng saw the blogger’s analysis, he couldn’t help but praised: “The analysis of this poisonous milk is still very professional. I guess I have been engaged in the e-sports related industry before, coach? Teaching assistant or something?”
Tang Can scrolled down Weibo and whispered: “Coach Lin, look at his previous analysis of Tianhuan.”
Lin Feng leaned over to take a look, and saw that [Poisonous Milk] wrote not long ago: “Tianhuan’s best result this year should be to enter the semifinals, and the runner-up at most. Xiaoxing and Lieyang are both newcomers to the S10 competition. He has a serious lack of experience. Although Lieyang has always had a stable mentality during the domestic competition, the pressure of playing away from home in the World Championship is huge, not to mention that he has just won the domestic MVP, and everyone’s expectations for him are too high. World-class Nakano, Lieyang and Shuoyue’s cooperation will definitely go wrong…”
Lin Feng did not continue to look down, and changed his mouth: “Fart, not professional at all!”
Tang Can said with a smile: “His previous prediction was quite accurate, but I think he predicted that Tianhuan would definitely not be accurate. Just treat him as a poisonous milk before the game, and add some debuffs to us to help us win the championship?”
Coach Lin sighed in his heart. In fact, the prediction of the poisonous milk is indeed very reasonable on the surface. Ye Shaoyang has been playing very stable in the domestic competition. In addition, he has just won the MVP award. Will there be mistakes in the world competition?
Everyone has such concerns.
Only Coach Lin knows how strong Ye Shaoyang’s mentality is.
He has never made a mistake since the world group stage! His state has always been very good, and he can always keep up with Chi Shuo’s rhythm for the first time, as if living in Chi Shuo’s mind.
Tianhuan went 2:0 in three consecutive group matches. In the knockout round, HER played a 3:0 suppressing force, because Ye Shaoyang, a key mid laner, never lost the chain!
That’s why the coaching staff dared to let Chi Shuo play the jungler and assist Ye Shaoyang’s mid laner to bring the rhythm.
Coach Lin is so cool every time he picks up, you ban me as a jungler, and I take the mid-core; if you ban and I stab, I take the wild-core; you ban the mid-jungle together? Sorry, you can’t finish Ban at all.
Tianhuan is the team that is least afraid of BP.
The confidence of the coaching staff was given by Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang, two players who had a tacit understanding and made few mistakes.
Coach Lin sometimes couldn’t help but sigh, Chi Shuo is a real hero. As early as when Ye Shaoyang was still the anchor Xiaobai, Chi Shuo said, “He will be my best partner”, but I didn’t expect this sentence to become real!
No matter how much the outside world questioned Tianhuan, Tianhuan’s coaching staff was full of confidence.
We Tianhuan are going to win the championship.
What happened to the newcomer? It is your shortsightedness to underestimate a newcomer like Yangyang!
Coach Lin put away his mobile phone happily and turned his attention to the live broadcast screen.
The game between Beimu and the European AMT team was extremely fierce.
In the first game, Bei Mu selected a shooter in the bottom lane, and Vanessa quickly roamed to catch people, targeting Zhao Xinping in a row.
It can be seen that Vanessa, the “madman jungler” in Europe, has suppressing power on shooters.
In the second round, Bei Mu changed to dual fighters, took the initiative to invade the wild area, and reversed Vanessa’s blue buff; Zhao Xinping flashed the opposite shooter at level 6, Zhao Xin’an attacked at the same time, and cooperated with Bei Mu’s jungler to kill the opposite single.
Both sides of Beimu won the heads together, Zhao Xinping calmly rolled the economy, and jointly invaded with his teammates to blow up Vanessa’s wild area and quickly ended the game.
Ye Shaoyang was sitting with the team members in the hotel conference room, watching the game while eating melon seeds. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but say, “Girls are also very handsome in e-sports!”
In his world, it is rare to see girls go to the professional e-sports league.
But in the ABO world, there are a total of 6 genders for men and women, Zhao Xinping and Vanessa are two female A, and Ye Shaoyang also appreciates the professional players of different styles.
In the third game, both sides played until 25 minutes. In the last wave of teamfights, Zhao Xinping flashed around with a big sword, and killed Vanessa who was hiding in the grass to catch someone. Zhao Xinan and Sean started at the same time, seconds AMT’s shooter and mid laner, and Beimu had a wave. Cooperate with the tacit team battle to destroy the AMT directly!
In the fourth game, AMT came back again. In the early stage, he grabbed people and roamed wildly, tying the score to 2:2.
Ye Shaoyang applauded while watching: “The fight is very fierce, and Beimu’s wild area seems to have become stronger?”
Chi Shuo calmly commented: “During the domestic competition, Bei Mu was beaten by us in the wild area. They also knew that their weakness was in the wild area and began to focus on assisting defense. Once Zhao and Xiao Zhao helped defend the wild area at the same time, plus Sean’s frequent Roaming support, it is not so easy for the opponent to invade.”
Ye Shaoyang nodded and said: “Well, we have learned a lot from Bei Mu, and they have also accumulated experience in defending the wild area from us. I think Bei Mu has a good chance of winning in the fifth game.”
Chi Shuo said, “I hope they can make it to the semi-finals.”
In the tiebreaker, both sides chose blindly, Bei Mu came up with the strongest system, Zhao Xinping’s [Rose Edge] and Zhao Xin’an’s [Sword Will], and Sean chose the mid-laner [Dark Witch] that could “crack”.
This game was very intense. In the early stage, Beimu advanced around the middle, and Sean brought the rhythm several times in a row. Dead AMT mid laner and shooter.
There is only one Vanessa left in the AMT, and it can’t kill the warriors who are wearing defensive gear.
Beimu won the game with 3:2!
In China, the comments on the Weibo of the blogger [Poisoned Milk] broke through six figures, and countless netizens said: “Quickly cut this prophet!” “The prediction of poisonous milk is really accurate, Beimu upset AMT and reached the fourth place. Strong!” “The score is really 3:2, and the decisive game is really the two warriors winning, are you really a prophet?”
Some netizens asked him to predict the result of the draw for the semi-finals.
Since the European champion team AMT was out of the game, Beimu made it to the semi-finals. Then, there are two Chinese teams in the semi-finals. Once they collided during the draw, it became a civil war for the Chinese teams.
[Poisoned Milk] predicted: “I think the result of the lottery may be that Tianhuan will play FNO, Beimu will play ATB, and then Beimu will be out with a high probability. If it is the other way around, Tianhuan will play ATB and Beimu will play FNO, then Tianhuan will be out. Anyway. ATB has absolute dominance this season, and whoever encounters it will be unlucky.”
Netizens left a message asking: “Do you think ATB will be the champion?”
The poisonous milk replied: “I can’t think of the possibility of ATB losing. South Korea is playing at home. The five players are all very strong. The weather, location, and people are all in their favor. Unless the network is disconnected during the final?”
Many netizens believed his prediction and no longer had hope for the Huaguo District.
But there are also many people who think that no one can be sure of the result until the last minute of the game, and they are still cheering Tianhuan and Beimu on the official blog.
On December 17th, Tianhuan, Beimu, FNO, and ATB, the four teams that reached the semi-finals, sent their captain representatives to draw lots. The captains of the four teams met for the first time in the conference room of the hotel designated by the league.
Surrounded by surveillance cameras, and countless reporters and photographers. There are four cards in the cardboard box in the middle of the room, two blue and two red. The teams that draw cards of the same color will meet in the semifinals.
Choi Hyuk, the captain of ATB, as the Korean host, said politely: “You draw first.”
His eyes were full of confidence, as if to say that we win anyway, and whoever draws us will be unlucky.
Mitchell, the captain of FNO, was not polite, and stepped forward to draw a card from the cardboard – red.
Zhao Xinping and Chi Shuo looked at each other.
Chi Shuo said: “Zhao team come first.”
Zhao Xinping nodded, stepped forward, and the card drawn was – blue.
All eyes were on Chi Shuo.
If Chi Shuo draws blue, it will be a civil war between Beimu and Tianhuan; if he draws red, it will be Tianhuan playing FNO, allowing Beimu to face the powerful enemy ATB.
Chi Shuo’s draw became the draw that decided the outcome of the S10 World Championship.
Cheng Xing, Qu Jiang, and Lao Qin clenched their fists nervously, and Cheng Xing’s lips turned white. Looking back, he found that Ye Shaoyang was sitting there smiling, eating melon seeds with an indifferent attitude.
Cheng Xing couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Yang, don’t you be nervous! What if Master draws ATB…”
Ye Shaoyang put down the seeds and said with a smile: “What’s so nervous? Since our goal is to be the champion, no matter who he draws, we have to beat the opponent, right? So, the result of the draw doesn’t matter.”
Cheng Xing was stunned for a moment, thinking about it carefully, right?
Anyway, everyone who draws has to find a way to win, so the result of the draw is not important.
Chi Shuo took a step forward calmly and took out the third card from the box——
is red.
Netizens watching the live broadcast of the lottery in China have mixed feelings.
[Tianhuan fights FNO, Beimu fights ATB! 】
[There is no civil war, should we be happy? 】
[But if Tianhuan and Beimu have a civil war in the semifinals, at least one Huaguo team can be guaranteed to win the final! 】
[Now the result of the lottery, if Tianhuan and Beimu both lose, Huaguo District will not get a trophy this season like S9! 】
[How about a civil war with Beimu and at least one of the finalists? 】
[Haven’t drawn ATB, Tianhuan still has hope to enter the finals and get a silver medal, right? 】
Coach Lin said with a smile: “The opponent in the next game is FNO, let’s prepare well. The champion team in the North American division is very strong, so don’t be careless.”
Although Tianhuan beat FNO in scrims, that was a year ago.
One year is enough for a team to complete its transformation.
At that time, Angus and Allen, two new bot laners who were abused and cried by Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo in the international server, progressed rapidly and became stronger in the subsequent leagues.
These two teenagers under the age of 18 are the most talented newcomers in the North American Division in recent years.
FNO’s shooter Angus, like Cheng Xing, won the best newcomer award in the North American Division S10.
What’s more, FNO’s top laner, Kleiman, mid laner Mitchell, and jungler Fast are all veteran players with rich experience in tournaments. Especially Keliman, who debuted in the same year as Chi Shuo, also played against Chi Shuo in S6.
3 old players with 2 newcomers, the configuration of FNO is similar to Tianhuan on the surface.
However, Ye Shaoyang cannot be defined as an ordinary “newcomer”.
In the semi-final match, Tian Huan must prepare well. Ye Shaoyang knew very well that “I will kill you” that Mitchell said was not a joke, he really had that strength.
After Ye Shaoyang joined the team, Tianhuan’s first training match was against FNO. Ye Shaoyang used [Abyss Master] to kill Mitchell by surprise. FNO has also become the first team in the world to know that Tianhuan’s mid laner has changed.
Not only Mitchell has been thinking about killing Ye Shaoyang, but FNO’s coach Tom has long been eyeing Tianhuan.
Since the regular season, they have been paying attention to Tianhuan’s games in Huaguo District. They will watch and review every game of Tianhuan. They can say that they “know the bottom line” of the Tianhuan team.
Encountering such an opponent who “knows you very well” is actually more terrifying than encountering a strong enemy who doesn’t understand you.
