Chapter 276 Summer Season Opening Game, Ye Xiu is Completely Liberated (Part )

Putting aside the effects brought about by the dream linkage promotional video, after the filming of the promotional video was completed, the LPL Summer Games, which countless people had been looking forward to, finally kicked off.

Even though e-sports has entered its golden period of development, in addition to the open and secret struggles between Tencent and Honor, there are countless small factories and companies in China alone that are working overtime to research their own competitive games in order to get a piece of the pie in the ever-expanding e-sports market.

However, before the start of Honor S9, which will take another half a month to officially start, the only formal e-sports competition that Chinese audiences can truly watch is League of Legends.

The LPL, which just won the world championship, is not only of great concern to the audience and fans, but also to many foreign teams, who are waiting to learn from the LPL's ideas.

On the one hand, LPL is indeed leading the world in overall strength at least at present, especially in operations and tactics, and has a certain generation gap with other regions.

On the other hand, the changes in the summer season version are indeed quite drastic.

In order to ensure the update frequency of the content in the first year, after MSi finished using the version of the previous S5 World Championship, the S6 version came naturally starting from the summer season.

This change can be said to have changed some of the tactical logic of League of Legends to a certain extent.

The first is talent.

The rune page that originally focused on attribute bonuses has been greatly changed, with more emphasis on linkage with hero mechanisms and skills.

Things like the Grasp of the Undying and the Decree of the Thunder Lord, which are well-known in later generations, all appeared at this time.

How to choose the talents in the new version and how to choose the strongest ones are the difficult problems that players all over the world are currently concentrating on studying.

In addition, the appearance of the green jungle knife, combined with the accessory eye, has added a lot of variables to the already difficult art of vision maintenance.

It greatly increases the space for tactical operations of strong teams.

Compared to these two huge changes, things like the Rift Herald renting a room in the dragon pit and a minor rework of the AD mechanism are all considered minor changes.

How to play the new version to be strong? The whole world is currently looking forward to the LPL, which is the first to start, to set an example for them.

Tencent Esports officials will naturally not be lenient in this regard. The two games on the first day of the new version are both very valuable competitions.

Xingxin vs. Xuanqi, Blue Rain vs. Yizhan.

The new champions Fanhua need more time to adjust because they have played for MSI for nearly a month longer, so there will be no games for them in the first week.

Apart from them and the reorganized Zhu Xian, the other four teams all appeared on the opening day of the summer season to fight against each other.

There is no doubt that these are two focus battles.

Although in terms of performance in the spring season, there is still some gap between Xuanqi Yizhan and Xingxin Blue Rain.

But during the off-season, they have received a lot of sponsorship and have carried out a round of reinforcements with good results.

Take Xingxin's match against Xuanqi as an example. They made it to the semi-finals in the spring season, but were defeated 3-0 by Fanhua, who had not yet released Sun Zheping, in the semi-finals.

A big reason for this is that Luo Tian's strength in the middle is indeed a little lacking.

As a veteran player who has been playing for Xuanqi since the Challenge Tournament, Luo Tian has both the experience, skills and reactions.

The second-tier mid laner of LPL is the limit of this player.

Among the top four mid laners, he was undoubtedly at the bottom. Whether he was playing against Blue Rain or Flowers, he was always beaten into the breakthrough point.

During the offseason, even though Zhang Yiwei remembered the friendship of the past, it was difficult for Luo Tian to continue to occupy the starting position in the middle lane when they needed to fight for the fourth world championship spot.

So Luo Tian changed to play as a substitute, and the starting mid laner was replaced by Gai Caijie, one of the most powerful mid laners in the LSPL.

I heard that this kid came from the youth training camp of a Glory club. In the LSPL, he is known as a mid laner on par with Excellent Era's Qiu Fei and Tiny Herb's Gao Yingjie.

He has a steady playing style, and although a bit of a blue-collar type, his tactical execution ability is extremely high. He is Zhang Yiwei's favorite type of midfielder.

This time when he came to LPL, his first game was against Ye Xiu, a strong contender for the strongest mid laner in LPL, which really made everyone sweat for him.

Before the game, Zhang Yiwei routinely encouraged himself: "This offseason, we can say that we have made great progress in all aspects!"

"With the major changes to the summer season version, all teams have to start from scratch with their tactical reserves. This is a good time for us to grab points!"

At this point, Zhang Yiwei made a little joke without any instruction:
"Although we were in the top four in the spring season, we ultimately lost to the champion Fanhua."

"And Xingxin also lost to Fanhua's runner-up, so after rounding off, we are at the same level as Xingxin!"

There was a gentle laugh from the audience, but it was also slightly sharp.

Xuanqi can be said to be the team that is least afraid of Xingxin after the three major teams.

After all, they had never played against Happy in the spring season, and the bottom lane team from Excellent Era had some grudges against Ye Xiu.

The rookie Gai Caijie in the middle lane really hopes to show his abilities in front of the legendary Ye Xiu.

When you see Xingxin, just do it.

Seeing the high spirits of the team members, Zhang Yiwei smiled slightly, morale was high.

Then he used the same speaking skills as a failed art student and continued to make tactical arrangements before the game...

……

On the other hand, Xingxin’s pre-match training was much simpler.

"Yifan, don't be too stressed out. Just do it like we usually do in training." Ye Xiu was comforting the slightly nervous Qiao Yifan with a smile.

Qiao Yifan nodded gently, but couldn't help pursing his lower lip, trying hard to relieve his nervousness.

There is no way not to be nervous. His performance in the opening game will determine whether Xingxin's tactical transformation can proceed smoothly.

The pressure is huge.

"Don't panic, buddy will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest!"

Yu Wenbo patted Qiao Yifan on the shoulder, as if to say, "I'll protect you."

Qiao Yifan glanced at him, but before he could say anything, Ye Xiu on the side added, “You talk as if you’re the starter in this game.”

"So what if I'm not the starting player? Sister Cheng will definitely cooperate with Yifan, right?" Our reporter Yu Wenbo, who was sitting on the bench, was not angry.

Su Mucheng remained calm as always, joining in the fun and nodding with a smile.

"Okay, get on the court when you're ready." Mingkai rolled his eyes at them and said, "In the first match, we'd better show some new spirit and clear away the haze of the spring season."

"Isn't that mysterious Zhang Yiwei known as a capable and famous general? I want to see what level of combat power this famous general has."

Mingkai was also very angry during the spring season.

As the coach of Xingxin, not only was his reputation overshadowed by Zhang Yiwei, the coach of the top four,
In the spring season, he also lost to Zhang Wei, a pure pendant.

Mingkai felt his blood pressure rise when he thought about how he, as a coach, lost to the Fanhua coaching team, which claimed that they could win even if they tied a dog.

Especially when places like Tieba were discussing, Zhang Wei was ranked ahead of Mingkai based on the standard of performance, and the first version of the LPL famous coach chart was made.
Mingkai's eyes went dark as he swore to himself that he must wash away this shame with victory in the summer season.

Seeing the coach speak, the chattering youngsters quickly shut up. At this time, Ming Kai looked at Tang Rou, who had been resting with her eyes closed, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Can I have it?"

Tang Rou opened her eyes suddenly and nodded vigorously: "No problem, I can do it."

Seeing the girl eager to try, Mingkai didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm even though he was unsure.

I hope this girl has really practiced it...

……

While people were still busy making final arrangements backstage, the big stage in front was already in an uproar.

At this moment, the promotional video claiming to be a dream collaboration was playing on the screen, and the deafening cheers and screams of fans were endless.

Tickets for the LPL Spring Split are already hard to come by.

During the summer season, even though Tencent Esports has made every effort to ban scalpers, tickets are still often sold out within seconds of being put on the shelves.

As the expansion of the circle progresses, the size of LPL's fans is also expanding little by little.

In order to ensure the best viewing experience for fans on site, Tencent Esports specially found a square near Hongqiao in Shanghai to broadcast the real-time images of the game on a large screen.

As a result, the square was already crowded with people.

The subsequent pre-match trash talk, player appearances, and other events triggered waves of cheers and screams that were higher than the last.

So much so that the staff on the scene were wondering whether they should add a soundproof booth for the contestants.

"Wow! Our fans are so enthusiastic today! They provided the most enthusiastic and passionate support for this opening game!"

In the commentary booth, Wang Duoduo kept sighing.

"This is the result of our world champion still resting this week. If the Fanhua competition starts... hehe." Wei Chen smiled.

After all, it is a world champion level card.

The two chatted about fan topics for a while, until the BP stage began and the cheers had basically died down, then they turned their attention back to the game screen.

"Xuanqi banned Xingxin's Miss Fortune, Gangplank, and Fiora!" Wang Duoduo looked at Xuanqi and the ban choices made by Zhang Yiwei.

"Not to mention Miss Fortune, after her ultimate can crit, she is one of the strongest ADs in teamfights in this version. It's definitely better not to use it if possible."

"Although Gangplank is a top-ranked player and has been weakened a few times recently, his core mechanism has not changed much. Considering his performance last season, it is normal to ban him."

Wei Chen explained calmly.

"As for this Sword Princess... I can only say that there is no solution for the Sword Princess of Roushen."

In the games without Blue Rain, Wei Chen's level would not bring shame to his plaque of professional commentary.

With a good understanding of the game and good eloquence, he quickly made a judgment on Xuanqi's BP ideas.

As he explained, Wei Chen's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

He was also very curious about how many new and eye-catching things the two opposing teams could come up with in the new version.

And when the lineup was formed, Xuanqi and Xingxin did not disappoint him.

"Wow, Kindred jungle core! There really is something new! Kindred has never been on the field before, right?" Wei Chen said in surprise.

On Xuanqi's side, he immediately chose Kindred for the jungler Li Hua.

It is obvious that the rhythm is to develop a jungle core lineup.

It is also an idea to choose some heroes with more control like Ashe and Maokai online, and let Kindred make up for the output in team fights.

Apart from the possibility of being stuck in jail in the early laning phase, the teamfight should be quite strong with the support of continuous super control chains.

Obviously, in the first game, Zhang Yiwei also wanted to try out some new things.

On the other hand, Xingxin also came up with an innovative choice: they played a spring season corkscrew in the bottom lane, and with the change of the mechanism, it was officially moved to the middle lane in the game, with Ye Xiu in charge.

The passive ability of the airplane has changed from true damage addition to ADAP mixed damage, and with the addition of a bomb mechanism, it can already be considered a core mage hero.

In addition to the mid lane, the choice of top lane also caught Wei Chen's attention.

"Tahm Kench! Roushen chooses tank!" Wei Chen shouted in surprise.

That’s right, on the Happy side, after Xuanqi snatched Kindred and gave it to Li Hua, he quickly locked Tam for Tang Rou.

Tang Rou has been practicing a tank hero for the entire offseason, but it remains to be seen whether she can be effective. At least Xingxin dared to choose her in the competition.

"Rou Shen's tank... I'm really looking forward to it!" Wei Chen enjoyed watching the fun.

After all, in the spring season, Tang Rou didn't even play many all-around heroes like Gnar, who could use long arms to defeat short arms, let alone some pure tank heroes.

Just by the release of this BP, the older audience members at the scene felt that their trip was worthwhile.

Roushen’s tank hero…it’s exciting just to think about it!

Soon, the lineup was selected, and the opening match of the summer season, the first BO3 match between Xingxin and Xuanqi, officially began.

"Whether Xingxin can win depends on whether they can achieve success in the laning phase!" Wei Chen judged.

The most troublesome thing about Xuanqi's lineup is the laning phase, as it is easy to be breached during the laning phase.

In the middle lane, Gai Caijie controlled the card and went straight to the line, feeling a little excited inside.

Although he is a steady and sensible type in both his playing style and personality, this is his first top league game after all, and he is facing a veteran like Ye Xiu. It would be a lie to say he is not excited.

I have to show off something in front of my seniors! Gai Caijie thought.

While controlling the card's movement, he was waiting for the troops to come online.

But when he wanted to go and farm the soldiers, he found that Ye Xiu's airplane had swaggered across the line of soldiers and stood directly in front of the card. His intention was obvious: Come and eat me if you dare!
With the advantage online, it is impossible for Ye Xiu to be polite to this kid Gai Caijie.

When Gai Caijie saw this situation, he could only stand in front of the line of troops and think about how to solve the problem.

Seeing that the first wave of melee soldiers were about to be killed, he couldn't hold back any longer and finally moved forward, launching a basic attack and killing a melee soldier.

However, at this moment, in the Happy team, Ye Xiu smiled:
"He lost this one."

　First update.

　　It’s a tough race time to write again, so it will be a bit slower.

　　I am struggling to find information.

　　Give me some monthly tickets to top the list.
