Chapter 385: Zaozi Reluctantly Shakes Hands! First Win! Faker's First LPL Interview
The two sides began to face off, and the focus of this game was on the middle and top lane.
The playing style of Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk is very simple, which is to steal without thinking. If you can kill alone, you must try it, but it's okay if you can't kill alone.
Chen Yiqiu's Swain QA Naar constantly uses his skills to cooperate with Ping A to steal things.
Swain's equipment list began to become richer. From the beginning, there was only one starting item, and gradually, it had everything.
Lucky bag, jewelry eye, red medicine, blue medicine.
Wawa explained: "In this game, I feel that I only need to see what Taobo's mid-top is stealing, and other things are not important. The bottom lane, although RNG has an advantage in the bottom lane, but the advantage is relatively limited, and because it is a drama I feel that with a hero like Life Master, Taobo won’t be much of a threat if he has an advantage.”
Miller: "Yes, the middle lane and the top lane are both suppressed. The current situation is very unfavorable for RNG."
Six minutes into the game, Chen Yiqiu's Swain completed a solo kill on the top lane!
Immediately afterwards, MlxgGANK failed in the middle, no one was caught, and Xiaohu's big move was empty.
At eight minutes of game time, Lee Sang Hyuk's Ryze went to the top lane to cooperate with Little Peanut's three packs and one kill.
MlxgGANK went down the road and helped UZI get a kill.
Originally, RNG's style of play was to focus on the middle and top in this game, at least UZI thought so.
But there is no way, the middle and top are not strong enough, so Mlxg can only find a way in the bottom lane.
Something outrageous happened. Although UZI got the kill, he was not happy at all. Instead, he said:
"You can just go and help the top laners, I'll be the gangster in the bottom lane."
Mlxg could see that UZI really wanted Zhongshang to play with Carey.
In this case, let’s try it.
Ten minutes after the game, MlxgGANK went on the road and formed a two-on-one with Letme.
Chen Yiqiu's Swain used his ultimate move to counterattack, killing two people at the ultimate limit!
After this wave, Swain becomes invincible!
Baby commentator said: "RNG has a problem. How can we raise Swain? To deal with this kind of hero, we should rely on ADC, but this time RNG's bottom lane is a trickster. This hero's tanking speed is amazing." It’s so slow and without enough output, it’s impossible to kill Swain.”
Miller agreed: "The current situation is very unfavorable for RNG. It has been very strange since the BP started, and Swain was allowed to get the heads. In addition, Swain brought the Omen of Stealing, and he stole a lot of money. , If this continues, it will become invincible.”
Just as the commentator thought, when entering the group stage, RNG simply couldn't defeat Swain in a group fight.
Chen Yiqiu's Swain activated his ultimate move and swam in the faces of five RNG players.
Even if it's disgustingly meaty, his own output is still very high.
In the end, RNG was flattened in less than 30 minutes, and UZI's plan to let Zhong Shanglai play with Kai Rui was completely ruined!
Wawa passionately explained: "With the explosion of RNG base crystals, let us congratulate Taobo. This is the first BO3 they have won since their formation. Although they still have some flaws in the bottom lane, they are generally better than I imagined. "
Miller agreed: "Yes, Taobo has such a strong mid and top jungler, which can at least guarantee the lower limit, so they still have time to adjust and learn in the bottom lane. Through this BO3, we can see that Reaper is still so powerful. Faker is still so invincible!”
At the end of the game, everyone in Taobo took off their headphones, stood up, and lined up to shake hands with RNG.
The first is Letme. When Letme sees Chen Yiqiu, she is like a mouse seeing a cat. She gets scared and cowers.
Then there is Mlxg. Mlxg is still the same, very unconvinced, but he doesn't like to say sarcastic words in person, he is just unconvinced.
The little tiger in the middle, Xiaohu is the same as before, always giving people a very timid feeling. To put it harshly, he is called timid and lacks responsibility.
In the end, it was time to go down the lane. UZI had a dark face. When he saw Chen Yiqiu coming over, he reluctantly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Yiqiu.
The next one is Ming, Ming should be considered the most normal.
In the audience, Ponytail, who is watching the game, is very pleased. At least judging from the current audience reaction, this Taobo will definitely become popular in the future. Of course, the popularity is already very explosive, but there is still a lot of room for growth.
Soon, Ponytail received a message from his subordinates: "After this BO3, 11.2% of the audience who expressed their disappointment with LPL now feel hopeful again."
The "11.2%" number is a little low for a ponytail, but it's a good start. Take your time.
On the stage, Chen Yiqiu was invited to the interview booth for an interview. In addition to him, there was also Lee Sang Hyuk.
Although both MVPs belong to Chen Yiqiu, in terms of popularity, Lee Sang Hyuk's popularity is similar to that of Chen Yiqiu, so they must be called together. The opening game is almost like a promotional video. The game itself is not important, the important thing is to build up the popularity.
The person in charge of the interview today was Luo Xin. When the interview started, Luo Xin greeted:
"Once again, congratulations to Taobo for winning the game. Now we have invited Taobo's starting top laner Reaper and mid laner Faker to be interviewed by us."
Luo Xin handed the microphone to Chen Yiqiu and Li Sanghe, one for each.
Chen Yiqiu was the first to speak: "Hello everyone, I am Reaper, Taobo's starting top laner."
Then there is Lee Sang Hyuk, who wants to say in Chinese: "Hello everyone, I am Taobo's starting mid laner, Faker."
The whole audience went crazy:
"Reaper! Reaper! Reaper!"
"Faker! Faker!"
Chen Yiqiu felt as if the entire venue was shaking. The audience was so enthusiastic!
As the host, Luo Xin didn't even have a chance to speak. He could only wait and wait for the audience to calm down.
The cheers lasted for half a minute and then slowly died down.
Luo Xin said: "The audience is so enthusiastic. This should be the most enthusiastic I have ever seen in LPL. Okay, now let's start asking questions."
"If I don't specify which contestant will answer, the two of you can decide who answers, or who answers first."
Chen Yiqiu and Li Sanghyuk nodded.
Luo Xin began to ask: "First question, there has been a voice of doubt on the Internet during this time. They doubt why Taobo has such a strong midfielder and upper jungler, and then he needs to add a new player to the bottom lane."
"If paired with an experienced, capable, and well-established bottom lane combination, wouldn't Taobo be stronger? This should be a question that most netizens have."
This question can only be answered by Chen Yiqiu. After all, it is his decision.
Chen Yiqiu responded: "Indeed, if we find a mature bottom lane combination, it will definitely be easier to cooperate in the short term. However, in the long run, I think it is better to cultivate a bottom lane combination that is suitable for our Taobo."
"Since we are training, we will naturally look for young, talented players. You can trust my vision in this regard."
Luo Xin asked curiously: "Reaper player said that everyone should believe in your vision. Do you mean that you found Taobo's bottom lane duo?"
Chen Yiqiu responded: "You can say that."
So in the official live broadcast room, the barrage was boiling:
[That’s no problem, trust Reaper’s careful selection. 】
[There will be no problem. Although Reaper is very powerful in the game, it does not mean that he has good vision. 】
[Anyway, believe it and that’s it. 】
[I think we can continue to observe and observe. After all, this is the first time to play a game. 】
[As long as I can make rapid progress later, it’s acceptable to be close now. 】
[Their ADC seems quite honest and should be a hard-working person. 】
Luo Xin continued to ask: "Second question, in these two games, both of them showed signs of stealing, and they performed very well."
"In your opinion, what is the talent of Thieving Omen? Is it the answer to the current version?"
Chen Yiqiu looked at Li Sang Hyuk and asked him to speak first.
Lee Sang-hyeok said: "I think we need to divide it up. If Omen of Thieves is to have a good effect, it must be triggered frequently at the beginning of the laning period. This requires constant exchange of blood with the opponent."
"So this talent is very suitable for players with a more aggressive play style. Of course, it also depends on the hero. Some heroes are not suitable for Stealing Omen."
Luo Xin looked at Chen Yiqiu: "Do the Reaper players have the same view?"
Chen Yiqiu responded: "That's about right. Not everyone is suitable for theft omen, so don't force it."
At this time, other LPL teams are paying attention to this game, even after the game is over.
They also want to know how to play this version.
Different clubs have different understandings of the same version. Which one is more suitable depends on the effect in the specific game, and Taobao is an important reference party. After all, they have SKT's midfielder and upper jungler!
Although Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk both said, not every lineup or every player is suitable.
However, judging from most LPL clubs, they are suitable!
Then start training players to use the ability of stealing omens and research related BP!
Chen Yiqiu didn't realize that these two games would profoundly affect the development direction of major LPL clubs.
Luo Xin continued to ask: "Next question, I want to know Taobo's goals for the new season. As a newly formed team, what kind of results do you want to achieve?"
Chen Yiqiu and Li Sanghyuk said almost at the same time: "Champion!"
"champion!"
Then, Chen Yiqiu explained: "For us, since we are playing professionally, we must win the championship, otherwise it will be meaningless."
Lee Sang Hyuk agreed: "Except for the championship, there is no difference in other rankings. We only have the championship in our eyes."
The audience was excited:
"Hold the grass, Kuang! It's all over for them!"
"This is the world's best midfielder! Who else is there!"
"If you are not convinced, go to Tao Bo and let me see who can suppress Tao Bo."
"I feel like these words coming from both of their mouths are not an exaggeration at all."
On the other side, in Taobo's lounge, the three people who came back first were paying attention to the interview.
Seeing Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk uttering such harsh words, Little Peanut was extremely excited:
"I don't know when I can be interviewed together with Brother Yiqiu. Then I will also say such cruel words!"
Hongmi smiled and said: "They are not saying harsh words, they are just saying what they feel, that's what they think."
Chen Wei, who was sitting next to him, was fascinated as he watched Chen Yiqiu on the screen. Everything that had happened so far was like a dream to him. He was still in school, and suddenly he was pulled to play a game, and it was against the world's number one middle school. Go to the field and play the game.
In the opening match, he met RNG, which was the team he had always admired, and he won in the end.
Looking at Chen Yiqiu on the screen, Chen Wei suddenly felt something burning in his chest. He also wanted to go on stage to be interviewed like Chen Yiqiu, and accept the attention and admiration of the audience!
Isn't this the meaning of playing games and playing professionally?
After the interview, Chen Yiqiu and Li Xianghe came back, and Hongmi greeted them: "Thank you for your hard work, this BO3 was successfully won thanks to you."
Guo Hao also stepped forward and said: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone has worked hard, now that the opening match has been won, let's go to have a meal to celebrate, the box is ready, just go directly."
So everyone packed up their things, led by Guo Hao, left the competition venue, and went straight to the hotel.
Entering the hotel box, the top players found their seats and sat down, and Xiaohuasheng sat next to Chen Yiqiu.
Seeing Chen Yiqiu take out his mobile phone, Xiaohuasheng immediately leaned over to look at it, wanting to see the rhythm on the Internet
Although he now has a domestic number and even registered an account on Tieba, he can watch it anytime he wants.
But he always feels that he is not as comfortable watching it alone as with Chen Yiqiu.
Chen Yiqiu entered the Anti-Pressure Bar. Sure enough, the bar friends are now discussing two things, one is the Omen of the Thieves, and the other is the performance of Top Esports and RNG in today's game.
# Did you hear that? Reaper said that only those who have the ability to suppress the scene and play actively can bring the Omen of the Thieves.
# I don't care, I just want to bring it.
# Did RNG go crazy today? Suddenly started to play mid, top and jungle. RNG doesn't have this ability.
# I feel that this season, all teams that play four-protect-one will have problems.
# The times have changed. Now is the multi-core era. The tolerance rate of four-protect-one is too low, and it is easy to overturn.
# Other LPL teams should just learn from Top Esports's play style, and don't do anything else all day long.
Chen Yiqiu was reading the forum, and Peanut suddenly asked again: "Is it true that junglers cannot bring Kleptomancy?"
Chen Yiqiu was suddenly speechless. How could a jungler bring it?
Seeing Chen Yiqiu's performance, Peanut understood and quickly said: "I just asked, just joking."
Soon, the waiter served all the dishes, and Guo Hao personally poured drinks for everyone, saying:
"Since you are all professional players, we won't drink alcohol, just drink some drinks."
Guo Hao raised his glass and continued: "This is the first time we have played a game since the establishment of Top Esports. I am very happy to win a big victory. I am also very honored to be the leader of Top Esports and work with such outstanding players and coaches. Congratulations to everyone for making achievements in this new season!"
Everyone clinked their glasses and drank it all.
Chen Yiqiu could hear that Guo Hao still lacked confidence and did not think that Top Esports could win the championship.
It is understandable, after all, Top Esports has just been established.
Everyone started to eat and chat, and they were happy.
Chen Yiqiu took the initiative to chat with Chen Wei. Chen Wei was a bit introverted and stuffy, and Liu Qingsong was also a quiet person.
The two of them sat there and just focused on eating, so they had to join the conversation.
Chen Yiqiu asked, "Chen Wei, how is your ADC?"
Chen Wei looked up and replied, "It's average. I prefer to play heroes that rely on basic attacks to output."
Chen Yiqiu: "EZ can also rely on basic attacks to output, but it just needs to be interspersed with skills. Now I'll give you a task. Go back and practice EZ, and practice EZ with Kleptomancy."
Chen Yiqiu glanced at Hongmi. This should have been arranged by Hongmi.
Hongmi understood: "I think this suggestion is good. Chen Wei, you should practice more when you go back." (End of this chapter)
