Chapter 183 How About Changing the Line?

On the big screen at the scene.

After a quick review of some highlights in the second game.

The post-match settlement panel of the second game was given.

Imp's policewoman had the highest damage in the game.

This was also within the expectations of most viewers.

The output environment of the policewoman was very good in this game, and she had no pressure to output in many cases.

But the second highest damage, second only to the policewoman, was actually Zhou Dian's Yasuo.

And the damage was not much lower than that of the policewoman.

It was just a little lower.

This was somewhat unexpected.

Originally, many people complained about Zhou Dian's "tank Yasuo".

They said he didn't have the soul of Yasuo.

If you like to build tanks so much, why don't you play a tank hero, isn't it more useful than Yasuo?

Now that the damage panel is out, these people are speechless.

Zhou Dian's "tank Yasuo" can deal so much damage, which is really more useful than playing a pure tank hero.

Can those tank heroes deal so much damage?

On the commentary seat

Haokai also said: "I really didn't expect that Zhou Shen's half-tank Yasuo had such high damage!"

"Doesn't this prove that you can only output if you are alive!" Wang Duoduo followed.

"The damage of Yasuo with electric knife and endless is indeed very high, but if he dies in a team fight, it means no damage!"

"That makes sense!" Haokai nodded deeply, "After all, the main output of LGD's lineup is the policewoman, so there is no need for a single Yasuo to resist firepower, and there is really no need to produce too many output equipment."

"Besides, Yasuo's sustained output ability is very strong. As long as he can survive and cut more, he can do a lot of output."

"Zhou Shen's play is really understandable!"

Afterwards, the post-match selection was completed.

The single-game MVP of the second game was given to Zhou Dian's Yasuo.

In this way.

In the semi-final BO5 contest between LGD and EDG.

After two small games, Zhou Dian has won two MVPs in a row.

The game has reached this situation.

This also made many viewers call out the gap in the top lane.

The "top lane gap" thing.

Since the audience can see it, the EDG team members who have experienced it will naturally feel it more deeply.

EDG head coach Nofe is having a headache now.

He doesn't know what to do now.

The score of 0 to 2 is not the biggest problem.

The biggest problem is the content presented in the two games.

It makes him desperate!

This is not the kind of two consecutive losses caused by major mistakes made by the players or stupid BP.

If it is those situations that lead to the 0 to 2 lag.

Then the game can still be played and there is room for adjustment.

But the current situation is.

He has thought of everything and tried everything.

But EDG just can't beat it.

The fundamental reason lies in the point of LGD's top lane, which they can't solve at all.

The "top lane gap" is an extremely eye-catching objective fact, just lying there.

You can't turn a blind eye to it.

Otherwise, change people?

Nofe did think about changing Mouse.

But Korol, another top laner in the EDG team, has been waiting to leave the team for a long time and has not played a training match for a long time.

It would be better to continue using Mouse instead of him!

Besides, Korol did not report the roster for this game.

You can't change him even if you want to!

Nofe is now numb, even more numb than the players who played!

In his opinion, unless LGD's top laner Zhou is banned.

Otherwise, let alone playing BO5 today.

Even if it is a BO10, EDG will not win a single game and will be shaved bald.

"What do you think about the next third game? Speak up, speak boldly!"

Nofe looked around and said to the players with a look of expectation in his eyes.

There was silence.

The players of EDG did not speak.

After thinking for a while, Nofe also felt that his question was too vague and needed to be more specific.

So, Nofe asked again: "Is there any other way to target LGD's top laner?"

When it comes to this, Ai Loli immediately straightened up and said in a tone with a bit of indignation:

"What else can we do? We can't beat Zhou Shen, even if we counter."

Ai Loli's voice became smaller as she spoke.

Maybe she felt that she was too direct, and she still had to take care of her teammates' emotions.

"My, my. I really can't beat Zhou Shen at all in 1V1. It has nothing to do with heroes, I just can't beat him!"

Mouse was quite frank and admitted his problem frankly.

After Mouse said this, the EDG lounge fell into silence again.

Nothing to say.

Mouse's strength is limited, and he is easy to be beaten in the position.

No stubbornness, take the initiative to admit his shortcomings.

You can't catch him and criticize him, right?

Continuously criticizing players is something that only fans can do.

The team members are still thinking about how to win the game.

After all, this BO5 is not over yet!

In the silence, Meiko suddenly said, "How about changing the line?"

Just now, Mouse's words "1v1 is totally unbeatable" gave Meiko a little reminder.

I can't beat you in one-on-one.

What about two-on-one?

As soon as Meiko said this, the other EDG players also understood what he meant.

Head coach Nofe's eyes lit up.

It seems that this is the only way!

When a single lane encounters a player who can't be matched, let the bottom lane duo go two-on-one. This is not a new trick.

As early as the S3 period, in a game between Samsung and SKT.

In order to suppress Faker.

The bottom lane duo of imp and mata ran to the middle lane to match Faker from the beginning.

In the game of League of Legends.

When your hero develops, let alone one-on-two, even one-on-five is not impossible.

But if you start laning from level 1.

Even if the king comes, you can't beat one-on-two and can only be suppressed!

What Meiko meant was to change lanes at the beginning.

Their bottom lane duo ran to the top lane to line up against Zhou Dian.

Mouse went to the bottom lane to face LGD's bottom lane duo.

The strategy of switching lanes at the beginning of the game was very common before 2017.

The purpose is generally to disrupt the rhythm of the game, avoid the strong period of a hero in the opponent's side lane, or accelerate the development of their own ADC.

But the purpose of Meiko's proposal to switch lanes at this time is obviously to make the top laners of both sides self-destruct.

Force Zhou Dian to be at the same level as Mouse.

Then the remaining four people of EDG will defeat the other four people of LGD.

Meiko's idea seems to be fine, but

"Can we still switch lanes in the top lane now?" Ai Loli asked.

Why did I say that switching lanes at the beginning of the game was very common before 2017?

That's because there was no first blood tower mechanism before S7.

Therefore, in the games before S7, switching lanes was very popular, and seven or eight out of ten games were switching lanes.

Riot felt that switching lanes seriously affected the viewing of the game.

So, after the end of the 2016 World Finals, some changes were made.

Strengthening the top lane defense tower in the early stage, the first tower to be pushed down will provide a lot of extra gold,

Such a change will lead to the side that actively changes lanes, and the first blood tower will inevitably be taken.

The designer's change is equivalent to directly removing the top and bottom lanes that have been played in the game for several years, and forcing the game to return to the line.

Loli Ai asked this question.

Naturally, it is because he thinks that actively changing lanes and giving up the first blood tower just to suppress Zhou Dian in the early stage will not be worth the loss?

After all, LGD's bottom lane can also be C. Is it really appropriate to change lanes and let imp take the first blood tower for nothing?

"No problem!" Meiko said very confidently, "You should know that Zhou Shen only started playing professionally this year. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Then change lanes!" Nofe waved his hand and made the decision for the third game.

Meiko's words made him firm up his last hesitation.

Switching lanes, even when it was popular in the past, was only available in competitions.

There is no lane change in the casual game.

Meiko means that Zhou Dian only started playing professionally this year, so he has never played a lane change game and has no experience in dealing with lane changes.

On the contrary, Mouse is very good at the rhythm of lane change.

For the top laner, lane change games require a lot of experience.

For the top laner who lacks experience, it is very difficult to deal with lane change games. They don’t know what to do and it is easy to give up just to eat the line.

And once they give up, they can’t stop and give up continuously.

Not to mention the top laner who has no relevant experience at all.

When encountering a lane change game with a completely different rhythm, they are basically like a headless fly.

In Nofe’s opinion, as long as Zhou Dian can be defeated, it’s fine to give up the first blood tower.

In the end, if imp is the only C, he will accept it.

In the third game, open the game and change the lane!

It’s worth a gamble!

The break between games ended quickly, and Zhou Dian followed his teammates out of the lounge and walked towards the main stage.

LGD didn’t have much discussion.

For the upcoming third game, they are still prepared to continue the play style of the first two games.

After all, they have won two games in a row, so there is no need to make changes.

It is EDG that should change.

Walking out of the player channel and coming to the main stage, Zhou Dian glanced at the EDG player seat.

The EDG players had already taken their seats on the stage.

Zhou Dian's look happened to meet Nofe's eyes.

The two looked at each other, and Zhou Dian looked away.

"Why is the EDG head coach looking at me with full of malice?" Zhou Dian thought.

Zhou Dian suddenly had a bad premonition.

Could it be that he has already dug a pit for me and is waiting for me to jump in it!

"Okay, everyone, welcome back to the 2017 LPL Spring Playoffs semi-finals."

"At present, in the semi-final between LGD and EDG, LGD is currently leading EDG by a score of 2-0, with three match points!"

"The third game of the BO5 is about to begin. After this game, will LGD get the second ticket to the Nanjing finals? Or does EDG still have hope of advancing?"

"Let's wait and see!"

The camera cuts back to the commentary booth.

After Wang Duoduo finished his opening remarks, he still read a long advertisement before returning to the main topic of the game.

"Teacher Haokai thinks that if EDG wants to win back a game and still survive in the game, what adjustments do they need to make?" Wang Duoduo asked.

Wang Duoduo asked questions from the perspective of EDG, not that he favors EDG.

If there is no natural position, such as country, competition area, etc.

In a game where the gap has been widened, the commentator speaks for the weaker and lagging party, which is the real neutral way.

This is also a feasible way to improve the watchability of the game.

After hearing Wang Duoduo's question, Haokai thought for a while.

Then he said very honestly: "I think EDG has no room for adjustment!"

"Unless we add one more person to EDG now, add it to the top lane, two against one on the top lane, a total of six against five, so that EDG can win!"
