All-Round Mid Laner - Chapter 198

The semi-finals of the S10 World Series will be held at prime time on Thursday and Friday nights respectively. The match between Tianhuan and FNO is scheduled for Thursday night at 7:00 pm. There are still 2 days of preparation time before the official game. The coaching staff of Tianhuan found FNO’s past game videos and reviewed them in detail.

FNO, FearNowOne (fearless), as a veteran giant in the North American division, was established in the S1 season. The team has a long history. Over the years, the players have also experienced many replacements.

Mitchell is the third captain of FNO. He made his debut in the S8 season and participated in a World Series with the team. S9 was the worst year for FNO and failed to get a place in the world championship.

After the S10 bot lane duo was replaced by a newcomer, FNO performed well in the regular season, entered the playoffs with consecutive victories, and won the tickets for the World Series with the first place in the North American Division.

The top laner of this team, Keliman, jungler Fast, and mid laner Mitchell, are all top players in the North American division, with strong personal strength and rich experience in competitions.

The weakness lies in the two newcomers Angus and Allen in the bottom lane. The two youngsters are participating in the World Championship for the first time, so they may not be mature enough psychologically.

Therefore, after the coaching team researched, they focused on the bot lane for FNO.

Coach Lin said: “Our first game is still the regular play of the middle and jungle linkage, and we will focus more on the bottom lane. If we can capture this point of Angus, let our little stars develop, and we will win better in the later stage.”

As for the lineup, Coach Lin analyzed: “Every game we play in China, the coaching staff of FNO has carefully watched it, so, for those routines used in China, playing FNO may not produce good results. This It’s about whether we can enter the finals and win the prize. We decided to come up with a new system to play FNO, try to win the first game, and seize the initiative of BP…”

Since FNO knows Tianhuan very well, the lineup used before is really not very easy to play, and it may be better to win with the new system. The decision of the coaching staff has also been unanimously approved by the players.

The pre-match analysis meeting lasted more than an hour, and everyone listened carefully.

After the meeting, Fang Zhengqing took the initiative to contact Chi Shuo and played a few training matches with Tianhuan to verify Tianhuan’s new tactics and find out some problems with cooperation.

Two days passed quickly, and the much-anticipated S10 World Series semi-finals started on time on Thursday night. Official commentators from various countries made preparations in the event broadcast area on the second floor.

Yao Mu took a deep breath and smiled at the camera: “Good evening, audience members, this is the semi-final of the S10 World Championship at the Seoul Esports Center! The next thing to do is the match between FNO and Team Tianhuan!”

Dongge said: “The FNO team should not be unfamiliar to everyone. The champion team of the North American division, a 10-year-old team, also played against Tianhuan in S6. The current captain, Mitchell, is a world-class mid laner; Singles and junglers are both very good old players, and the shooter-assist duo in the bottom lane is a rookie who has just debuted in S10. Among them, the shooter Angus won the season’s best rookie award in the North American division!”

Yao Mudao: “In this way, there are many similarities between the FNO team and the Tianhuan team. Tianhuan is also a replacement for the S10 bot lane duo. The shooter Tianhuan Fanxing won the Best Newcomer Award in the Huaguo District! Bottom lane, it will be a battle of two world-class ‘best rookies’, both players of the same age.”

Brother Dong said: “The middle lane is also a world-class mid lane matchup, so today’s game will definitely be very exciting and intense, let’s take a look at the preparations of the players on both sides!”

In the soundproof room, the players have already put on their headphones and connected their own keyboard and mouse.

The referee checked every computer, peripherals, and network. The two Korean commentators on the scene were introducing the data of each player in the World Series in Korean, including hero winning percentage, average kills per game, KDA score, etc. It can be seen that Ye Shaoyang and Mitchell’s data are similar, and Cheng Xing and Angus are also comparable.

Chi Shuo’s record in the World Series is slightly better than that of FNO’s jungler Fast; but FNO’s top laner Keliman’s record is slightly better than Tianhuan’s Lao Qin.

So on the whole, the paper strength of the two teams is almost the same.

At 7:00 p.m., the referee signaled the start of the game, and there was warm applause at the scene.

Yao Mu said: “In the semifinals, the system randomly generated red and blue squares, and Tianhuan got the blue square randomly in the first game! Coach Lin’s first ban… directly to [Sun Wheel Master], and Mitchell’s The natal hero gave Ban a show of respect?”

Mitchell, the most aggressive mid laner in the world, plays a mage like a fighter.

His favorite hero is the melee mage [Sun Wheel Mage], which is also his famous hero.

In the soundproof room, Mitchell raised his eyebrows and said, “Is this against me?”

Coach Tom said, “Well, let’s also target Lieyang.”

FNO turned back and used a Ban position decisively on [Abyss Master].

Brother Dong said with emotion: “The BP in the first game has a strong smell of gunpowder! You ban the natural hero of our midlaner, and I also ban the famous hero of your midlaner, all targeting the middle lane.”

Yao Mu said with a smile: “There is a story between these two heroes. I heard that when Lie Yang joined the Tianhuan team, Tianhuan and FNO had an appointment for a training match. At that time, Yangyang used the [Abyss Master], Mitchell uses [Sun Wheel Master]. Today in the World Series, the coaches of both sides ban the two heroes, it seems that they are also reminding the opponent of this past?”

This is also a psychological tactic, and the two heroes are indeed easy to think of some past events.

In particular, in that training match, Ye Shaoyang once used Abyss Master to single-kill Mitchell’s Sun Wheel Master.

However, Mitchell is no longer the little madman who was furious when he lost a game in the international server. Now, although he is still crazy, his psychological quality has already become mature and stable.

It doesn’t matter if the natal hero can’t get it, his hero pool is also very deep.

For the second ban, Coach Lin still gave it to the middle, and the ban was [Holy Spirit Mage].

Coach Tom touched his chin and said: “Tianhuan’s P1 stage has been targeting the middle lane, and it seems that he wants to grab the mid lane. Ban them [Goddess of Destiny], see what Lieyang chooses, and we will take the restraining hero in the back.”

FNO continued to Ban Middle Road, and [Goddess of Fate] was locked in a small dark room.

There are too many junglers that this hero can cooperate with, such as [King of Fighters], [Jianxian] and other wild cores, all of which can cooperate with [Goddess of Fortune] to play in the jungle, and [Goddess of Fortune] does not eat economics, and the speed of roaming support is extremely high. quick.

The BPs of the two sides seem to only make a fuss about the mid lane, but in fact there are many factors to consider.

Yao Mudao: “Four mages are on the Ban position. In the P1 stage, the two sides should grab the mid lane. Let’s see what hero Tianhuan will take first hand!”

Tianhuan’s blue side is the first choice, and the 1st floor directly wins the [Sharpshooter].

Brother Dong said excitedly: “Could it be that Lieyang’s [Sharpshooter] is in the middle again? The shooter is in the middle. Tianhuan used this tactic in the Huaguo playoffs, and the effect was very good! Lieyang’s [Sharpshooter] Sniping can almost hit every shot.”

Yao Mu said: “There is a possibility that the Sun-Lun Mage and Holy Spirit Mage who were banned in the Tianhuan P1 stage are heroes with very high defense. If the shooter is in the middle, shooting and sniping will not kill these two high-defense Mage. So the coach was banned early.”

From the perspective of BP’s thinking, it is indeed very similar to Ye Shaoyang taking the [Sharpshooter] in the middle.

Coach Tom thought about it carefully and said, “Take the mage with the farthest output distance and fight him to consume it.”

Among all mages, the one with the farthest output distance is [Moonlight Mage], which can strafe the moon blade from a long distance, causing area damage. FNO decisively won the mid laner of [Moonlight Mage] and the shooter of [Flying Arrow Meteor] on the 1st and 2nd floors. They grabbed the T0 shooter [Flying Arrow Meteor] first, and Cheng Xing could not be selected.

It was Tianhuan’s turn to take the hero.

After taking down the [Sneak Thief] jungler on the 2nd floor, Chi Shuo’s wild core appeared!

There was a row of flowers and applause in the domestic live broadcast room, but some viewers expressed concern: “This is the first game, and the pool team directly takes the thief. If they lose, they will be very passive later?” “The thieves are easy to take out so early. Targeted by BP! If there is a pile of meat in the front row on the opposite side, thieves can’t enter the field!”

Everyone was discussing, Tianhuan suddenly selected a hero [Flaming Shield Axe] on the 3rd floor – this is a very unpopular top order, how unpopular is it? During the regular season, almost no one used it.

The audience was stunned when they saw it.

Yao Mu couldn’t help but say: “Flame Shield Axe? This hero has a high defense and can erect a fire shield in front of him to stop the enemy’s pursuit. However, the output is almost impossible to see, and the movement speed is very slow, no Displacement skills, it will be very clumsy.”

Brother Dong agreed: “Yes, this kind of cumbersome hero is on the field, and the team is not flexible enough, and it is easy for the opponent to fly a kite. Of course, FNO chose [Moonlight Mage] This kind of consumption hero, Tianhuan chooses a leader Shield’s top laner can also block damage from the front.”

Seeing this, FNO chose a [Sword Will] backhand, a very flexible top laner. Flexible fighters vs clumsy tanks, although fighters may not necessarily kill tanks, the support speed of teamfights will be faster and the threat to the back row will be greater.

The P1 stage selection is over.

In the second stage, Tianhuan continuously bans [Shield of Glory] [Light of Blessing] two big meat assistants, and FNO bans [Time Traveler] [Frost Goddess] that Qu Jiang used.

FNO won the swing position [White Bear] on the 4th floor, which can assist and play wild. After Tianhuan’s lineup is determined, he will finally restrain himself.

Tianhuan is on the 4th and 5th floors, and chooses [Flame Goddess] + [Cannon Man] at the same time.

The audience in the live broadcast room was completely stunned, and the question marks swiped all over the screen——

【? ? ? 】

【what’s the situation? The sharpshooter is single, the gunner is the shooter? What about the goddess of flames? 】

[Choose 2 shooters + 1 mage, you are kidding me in this crispy lineup, Tian Huan! 】

[No, you can just choose blindly in the domestic competition. Can you stop floating in the world competition? 】

In the soundproof room, Tianhuan’s five players looked calm, especially Ye Shaoyang, who still had a smile on his face, as if he was saying, “Guess what hero I’m playing today.”

Mitchell was completely speechless: “Is he playing the goddess of flames, or is he a sharpshooter?”

Coach Tom touched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “Could it be the [Goddess of Fire] support? Is this the Mutant Fire Team?”

FNO’s top laner, Keliman, frowned and said: “It’s possible. Tianhuan Jiangshui is a mid-laner player. [Goddess of Flame] is a defensive outfit and plays functional support. He can use fire shields to protect teammates and set fire rings to knock out opponents. blue?”

Coach Tom hesitated for a moment, then took out [Paladin] as an assistant at the last counter position, and used his stand-in skills to protect his core output position.

The BP stage is over, and the lineups of both sides are determined.

The players started swapping heroes quickly.

[Goddess of Fire] Sure enough, it was given to the 5th floor, and Qu Jiang took her to the auxiliary position.

[Flame Shield Axe] top order goes to Lao Qin, [Sharpshooter] is used by Xiaoxing, Ye Shaoyang did not take [Sharpshooter], but took out [Artillery] in the middle!

This is a hero who can throw incendiary bullets at super long distances.

Ye Shaoyang replaced the public skill with [Sprint].

The CD of [Sprinting] is only 90 seconds, which is half a minute shorter than the 120 seconds of [Blink]. If you make another pair of [Sprinting Shoes], Ye Shaoyang will be able to support the audience as quickly as possible, and throw the burning bullets away for consumption. opponent.

Yao Mu’s eyes lit up when he saw this: “Yang Yang took the hero [Cannon Man] as the mid laner for the first time, this game should be quick support and throw bombs everywhere! If [Goddess of Flame] assists , Tianhuan’s spell output will not be enough, but [the artilleryman] can actually use spell output equipment, relying on big moves to deal damage!”

Brother Dong said: “Yes, Tianhuan is a mutant fire team. Lao Qin’s hero [Flame Shield Axe] can stack burning dubuffs on the opposite side, [Goddess of Fire] lays a fire field to knock out the blue on the opposite side, and Yang Yang from After throwing artillery in the distance and crippling the opponent, both Team Chi and Xiaoxing can harvest.”

The traditional fire team is to play positional warfare, [Flame Goddess] mid lane + [Trap Hunter] jungler, step by step.

Tianhuan’s variant fire team, put the point of [Cannon] in the middle, produce magic output equipment, quickly support consumption, cooperate with the wild core [Sneak Thief] to kill invisible, or cooperate with Xiaoxing’s sniper to kill people at a long distance.

In theory, this system can be played.

But the actual combat operation is a great test for the cooperation and tacit understanding of the five people. Once Xiao Xing was killed during the group play, or Lao Qin couldn’t bear the damage and died too early, Tianhuan’s lineup was too crispy and it was easy to collapse.

And Ye Shaoyang’s roaming support after [sprinting] has also become the key to driving the rhythm of the audience.

Mitchell’s [Moonlight Mage] clears troops faster than Ye Shaoyang’s [Cannon]. Can Ye Shaoyang withstand the pressure of this world-class mid laner and take the initiative to bring the rhythm of the audience?

Everyone has never seen Yangyang play this hero, and domestic fans are very worried.

On the other hand, Ye Shaoyang in the soundproof room remained calm and confident.

The game was about to start, before the map was loaded, Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath and placed his left hand on the keyboard.

[Artilleryman] This hero is very difficult to operate. It is very important whether the cannonballs of the ultimate move can be thrown accurately. Once the ultimate move is empty, the team battle may have zero output and cause teammates to collapse.

In the first game, Tianhuan took out the fire team system that FNO had never seen before, and it was also the performance of the coaching staff in betting on Ye Shaoyang.

Ye Shaoyang is very grateful for the coach’s trust in him, and let him take out the shooter that he has not used in the game to go to the middle. It’s going to be stressful to take [The Gunner] against Mitchell, but he’ll definitely give it his all.
