Chapter 178： playoffs

The next day, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo went to bed early and got up early as usual. Ye Shaoyang planned to go to the balcony to feed the cat after washing his face, but found Chi Shuo squatting there to feed Xiaobai. The early morning sun shines through the window and sprinkles on Alpha's handsome side face, making Chi Shuo's originally serious face a warm look.

Ye Shaoyang walked to Chi Shuo and said with a smile, "Why did Team Chi suddenly remember to help me feed the cat?"

Chi Shuo said, "When I woke up just now, I found it walking around in the living room. I guess it was hungry."

Xiaobai raised his head and let out a "meow", as if answering Chi Shuo's words.

Chi Shuo curled the corners of his mouth, touched its head, and said, "In the future, I will take care of it with you, and I will also be a **** shovel officer." Ye Shaoyang said, "Okay."

Having a cat with your boyfriend is also a joy.

Chi Shuo himself does not like small animals, but he is willing to accept Ye Shaoyang's pets and take care of Xiaobai together with Ye Shaoyang. This is the understanding and tolerance that Ye Shaoyang mentioned in the interview.

Ye Shaoyang looked at Chi Shuo, just in line with his gaze. Chi Shuo suddenly said, "You still call me Chi Team?"

"What's that called?" Ye Shaoyang thought about it and asked tentatively, "It's called Chi Shuo?"

"Well." Chi Shuo curled the corners of his mouth, "There is no need to be so polite in private, just call your name."

Now that the relationship is confirmed, it is not appropriate to call Team Chi every day. Ye Shaoyang said calmly: "Then I will call you Chi Shuo in private from now on, you are not much older than me anyway."

Chi Shuo calculated and said, "I should be half a year older than you."

Ye Shaoyang said: "Ignore half a year old."

Chi Shuo smiled, got up and said, "Let's have breakfast."

The two went to the team cafeteria for breakfast. The teammates hadn't woken up yet, and they were eating and chatting comfortably.

Ye Shaoyang said: "There is still a month before the playoffs. Those combinations we used in the regular season, if we take them out in the playoffs, the effect will not be too good?"

Chi Shuo: "Well, I was just about to tell you about this. There is still time, we can practice other things."

Ye Shaoyang thought about it carefully: "The new hero [Soul Chaser] in the 2010-1 season, you have almost practiced it, right? This hero will be on the game server in the playoffs."

Each season of God War is divided into 1/2/3 sub-seasons, and each sub-season will have new heroes.

[Abyss Master] is a new hero in the 9-3 season, and [Soul Chaser] in the 10-1 season. Since the hero of the game server will be launched later than the online game client, so the new hero of the 10-1 season will be in the post-season Saicai log in to the competition uniform.

[Soul Chaser] This hero is to summon the soul of a dead hero to assist him in fighting. It is purely by killing people and stacking buffs, and the more they kill, the stronger they become. If you can only kill one or two people in the whole game, the damage of this hero will be useless.

A pure wild nuclear hero. At present, the major teams have not developed a system to match this hero.

Chi Shuo said: "This hero's mechanics are very special. In terms of operation, I have already practiced it very well, and the rhythm of the early stage is very fast. However, it is difficult to match the lineup. Have you thought of using a mid-laner to match it?"

Ye Shaoyang thought thoughtfully: "How about [Mingdie]?"

[Mingdie], a very unpopular mid-laner hero with low output and stronger functionality.

Chi Shuo was stunned for a while, but quickly understood Ye Shaoyang's thinking: "Fast tracking?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "Well, it's more difficult to cooperate, but I believe that the two of us can cooperate well."

Seeing Ye Shaoyang's confident appearance, Chi Shuo gently held his hand and said, "I believe it too."

Ye Shaoyang smiled and held Chi Shuo back and said, "In addition, I think we can try more combinations, and don't limit our thinking to those fixed combinations in the regular season."

Chi Shuo asked with interest, "For example?"

Ye Shaoyang leaned into his ear and said mysteriously: "Mage is a jungler, AD mid laner?"

Chi Shuo was stunned for a moment: "Mage jungler?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "Everyone knows that I [Abyss Lord] played very well, in fact, [Abyss Lord] is a hero, in fact, the wild core is very suitable for the jungle, the three shadows change positions, move flexibly, and can quickly rush in the wild area , if the stacking marks are fast enough, the wild brushing speed is also top-notch. Would you like to try it?"

Chi Shuo looked at the light in his eyes and smiled slightly: "Okay, let's try."

Every time Ye Shaoyang mentions the game, his eyes seem to light up. He really loves this game and has his own understanding of the game.

Heroes are not fixed.

Who said that you can only choose mages in the middle and only assassins and warriors in the jungle?

As long as the lineup is reasonable for the Mage jungler and assassin mid laner, changing the position will not affect the cooperation at all.

After all, they know each other's rhythm very well, and they have practiced together for a long time. Of course, Chi Shuo also knows how to play the hero [Master of the Abyss].

After the two returned to the dormitory, they logged into the international server. In order to avoid being recognized, they changed their names with a name change card, and deliberately changed them to English names that looked American.

The two went to the international server to practice for two rounds, and found that the combination of [Mingdie] and [Soul Chaser] was much more difficult than expected. Fortunately, they had first-class consciousness. After careful analysis and communication, they quickly found a suitable one. Rhythm.

Five consecutive victories in the international server, caught passerby shooters and passerby mid laners too afraid to go out of the tower.

In order to prepare for the All-Star and World Invitational, the two have not played qualifying for a long time, but the tacit understanding between them is still there, and the rhythm of the middle and wild linkage is flying fast. After several games were played, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but think, it was really cool to cooperate with Chi Shuo, and Chi Shuo could always understand his thoughts immediately.

Is it because of the love relationship? The two seem to be getting closer and closer?

The passerby player who was caught by them in the international server: "This game is so hard to play!" "Where is the big devil blowing up fish in the international server? Soul Chaser + Underworld Butterfly, with a lot of ghosts, this Is it reasonable?"

It wasn't until twelve o'clock noon that Chi Shuo whispered, "It's almost time for lunch. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat? Or should I pack it for you and bring it back?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "Go down to eat and rest for a while."

Chi Shuo hummed, turned off the computer and went downstairs with Ye Shaoyang.

Halfway through their meal, the other teammates also went downstairs.

Cheng Xing obediently stepped forward to say hello: "Master Yang is early, Brother Yang is early."

Qu Jiang and Lao Qin also came. Coach Lin sat next to them with a plate and asked with a smile, "Is this lunch or brunch for you two?"

Chi Shuo said, "Lunch, we have breakfast at eight o'clock."

Coach Lin said with emotion: "It's really good to go to bed early and get up early. I want to learn from you too."

Afternoon is training time. After lunch, Coach Lin called Tianhuan to the training room on the 2nd floor and said aloud, "We Tianhuan are the winners of the playoffs, the second place in Group S in the regular season. , the opponent in the next game should be very clear to everyone - the third-ranked Jingzhe team."

The Jingzhe team had a 1:2 record against Tianhuan during the regular season, and Tianhuan narrowly won.

The overall strength of this team is very strong. Fang Zhengqing and Xie Yuan, two world-class double Cs, and Li Yunmo, a very calm support, formed an iron triangle combination. The strength of the jungler and the top laner is not weak.

Ye Shaoyang remembered that the early system of Bounty Warlock, Shadow Warlock, and Curse Warlock that Jingzhe had brought out at that time caught Tianhuan by surprise and lost a game; however, Jingzhe's signature poison team had never been used.

Will they come up with a poisoned team in the playoffs?

Chi Shuo and Fang Zhengqing didn't have a tacit understanding. During the regular season, the BP and the reverse elimination method of the coaches of both sides were somewhat useful. However, the playoffs are different from the regular season. The global BP system pays more attention to the formation of troops. Players cannot use the heroes they have used before, which is also a big test for the hero pool.

Besides, Jing Zhe's lineup was not decided by Fang Zhengqing, but by Jing Zhe's coaching staff. Therefore, the method of letting Chi Shuo eliminate in reverse is not necessarily reliable.

Coach Lin said: "The playoffs are BO5 and the global BP system. We are the second place in the winner's group and have priority to choose sides. I would like to discuss with you, should we choose the blue side or the red side in the first round? "

The advantage of the blue side is that the first ban is the first choice, which can grab a core hero with a strong version.

The red side chooses the backhand. It seems passive, but it can take a pair of combinations on the first and second floors, and after all the opponents have selected, they can choose the last counter position to target.

On the blue side, the small dragon pit is close to your own jungle, and it is more advantageous to fight the small dragon; on the red side, the big dragon is close to your own jungle, and it is better to grab the big dragon in the later stage.

Both the blue side and the red side have their pros and cons. Tianhuan has good results in the regular season, has the right to choose sides, and can decide the first game, which must also be used in combination with tactics.

Coach Lin looked at everyone: "Do you prefer the blue side or the red side?"

Cheng Xing secretly looked at the master, Qu Jiang and Lao Qin turned their attention to Ye Shaoyang, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other, and said at the same time, "Blue Fang."

Coach Lin said with a smile: "I guess it is too. The blue side will be better at playing Xiaolong, and the rhythm in the early stage will be faster. If you two link up in the middle and jungle, you can bring the rhythm in the early stage, and it is relatively better to win."

Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang nodded at the same time.

Coach Lin said: "That's it, in the playoffs against Jingzhe, we choose the blue team and try to win the first game. If you have the first mover advantage, the later BPs will be easier to handle. The coaching staff of the specific lineup We are researching, and there is still a month before the playoffs, so you can team up and play qualifying together in the past few days to find out how you feel."

If e-sports players do not play qualifying for a period of time, their reactions and hand speed may not keep up, which is why they need to keep training on a daily basis. Cheng Xing and Ye Shaoyang went to the individual competition and had not practiced qualifying for half a month. Coach Lin was not in a hurry to get everyone to train together.

He asked Chi Shuo, Ye Shaoyang to double-row, Lao Qin, Qu Jiang, and Cheng Xing to go to the international server to practice operations and get back the feel of the game. .

Everyone has no opinion on the coach's arrangement.

When Coach Lin turned to leave, Chi Shuo suddenly stopped him and said in a low voice, "Coach, can I and Yang Yang also participate in the tactical discussion with the coaching staff?"

Coach Lin was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Chi Shuo.

Chi Shuo's expression was calm: "Yangyang has a lot of his own understanding of the game. Perhaps, he can provide some new ideas for the coaching staff."

Ye Shaoyang echoed: "By brainstorming, we also want to be helpful."

Coach Lin looked at Chi Shuo and then at Ye Shaoyang. Meeting the serious eyes of the two, Coach Lin smiled and nodded simply, "Of course, you two come with me."

Lin Feng has never been an arbitrary coach. He will consider the thoughts and feelings of the players and has a very good temper. This is also the key to Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang daring to interfere in the decision-making of the coaching staff.

The two followed Coach Lin to the conference room.

Tianhuan's coaching staff is very professional. In addition to Lin Feng, the head coach, there are also data analysts, data collation specialists, and two assistant coaches who are responsible for collecting information on opponents.

In fact, professional players' understanding of tactics is not as professional as that of the coaching staff. Sometimes, professional players only know the heroes they like to play and are good at playing, but they don't really understand which heroes combine better to win. Many lineups on the field, They are all matched by the coaches after careful scrutiny based on the characteristics of the players.

When the assistant coach saw them coming, he was a little surprised: "Team Chi and Yang Yang also came in person?"

Coach Lin said with a smile, "Well. They have some ideas of their own, and they just happen to study together." He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down."

Everyone sat in a circle, and the data analyst printed all the data of the playoff players on the screen. Even during the regular season, the economic curve of each game was collected and analyzed.

Ye Shaoyang looked at the graph at a loss until the data engineer explained: "It can be seen from the graph that Jingzhe's assistants are upgraded 10 seconds faster than other teams' assistants. The reason why Li Yunmo can reach level 6 before other supports is because he will protect Xie Yuan and grab the river crabs in the early stage, and then go to the wild area to walk, make vision, and eat a few mobs experience."

Supports disappear in the early game, which is very common, because supports need to have good vision to prevent opponents from sneaking. However, Li Yunmo's disappearance is not simply to do vision, he will eat experience and advance to level 6.

Support to level 6 means that he can release a key group control ultimate move in the first wave of team battles.

One more big move than the opponent is likely to affect the outcome of a wave of team battles.

Ye Shaoyang suddenly realized: "Jing Zhe's jungler is a tool man. Does he not only let the economy help the mid laner and shooter, but also let the economy of some small monsters help?"

Coach Lin nodded and said, "Yes, Jing Zhe's iron triangle is center, shoot, and assist. We must pay more attention to the support point. Although we won Jing Zhe in the regular season, they will definitely be crazy about Tianhuan's midfielder in the playoffs. The opponent assists and starts the team, and it is likely to blow up our middle and bottom lanes ahead of time.”

Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other and said, "We will pay attention to this."

Coach Lin asked: "It is more suitable to fight Jingzhe, or the middle and jungle linkage. What are your thoughts on hero selection? Feel free to bring it up."

Chi Shuo said: "Many systems that have been used in the regular season cannot be reused in the playoffs. Jing Zhe will definitely find a way to solve it. This is why Yangyang and I want to discuss with the coaches in person."

Coach Lin was a little surprised: "What are the unusable systems you mentioned?"

Chi Shuo said in a low voice: "Shuangfei, Black and White, The King of Fighters, Charming Nightmare, Illusionist guerrilla warfare, etc. If these are taken out to fight Jingzhe, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Ye Shaoyang agreed: "Yes. It is not difficult to crack these combinations. For example, they directly ban the protective support, and then use the group control support to interrupt our rhythm. Or, Fang Zhengqing grabbed the initiative, Before we link up with the middle and jungle to bring the rhythm, let’s catch our bot lane first. If my link with Chi Shuo is interrupted and I want to reconnect, it will take a lot of time.”

"Well, the same routine, the first time you use it to surprise your opponent, and the second time you use it, your opponent may have figured out a way to crack it." Coach Lin paused, then changed the conversation: "But mid-laning and playing There are only so many heroes in the jungle, and if many of the combinations in the regular season are not used in the playoffs, the two of you have fewer options."

Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo looked at each other, the latter gave him a positive look, Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Coach Lin, does the mid laner have to choose a mage?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment: "This...not necessarily. However, team battles require physical damage and magic damage. If you don't choose a mage in the mid lane, and all the equipment on the opposite side will be equipped with physical defense equipment, it will be difficult to fight."

Chi Shuo said, "I can use a mage to play as a jungler."

Ye Shaoyang said with a smile: "Then I take the mid laner of physical output."

Lin Feng: "..."

Chi Shuo followed closely and said, "We can also double as a jungler."

Ye Shaoyang nodded in agreement: "Yes, double jungler."

Coach Lin: "..."

Are you two going to heaven? Directly subvert the positioning of the jungler and the mid laner?

Chi Shuo concluded: "We hope that the coaching staff will not be limited to the existing mid-laner and jungler heroes when formulating lineup tactics. For example, I can take Yangyang's famous hero [Abyss Lord] to the jungler position, Yangyang can also play mid lane with physical assassins."

Ye Shaoyang said: "I can also take the [Sharpshooter] to hit the unit."

Coach Lin looked at him with a complicated expression.

Ye Shaoyang assured: "I'm not joking. When Xiaoxing went to play the individual competition in the wild card division, I PKed with Xiaoxing and used a lot of shooters. I found that some shooters can actually hit the unit. For example, sharpshooters and artillerymen Two, super long-distance output, fast clearing speed, and longer than Mage's hands."

Chi Shuo said: "I also tried it when Yang Yang and I practiced privately. Using [Sharpshooter] to fight [Destroyer Mage] and [North Sea Giant Demon] mid-laner heroes with long hands and high explosiveness will have a great advantage in laning. ."

Very simple reason, [Sharpshooter] is a hero with a very long attack distance. He has longer hands than a mage. He can always crouch under the tower to snipe and shoot cold guns. The initial physical defense of the opposite mage is very low.

[Sharpshooter] One-on-one with the shooter in the bottom lane, and the support on the opposite side can also help block bullets. But in the middle, there is no support to help, the long-handed shooter and the crispy mage 1v1, the laning can play an advantage.

Chi Shuo said: "Of course, [Sharpshooter] doesn't have the ability of a second person, he is a hero with continuous output, with a second person's jungler, the effect will be very good. Yangyang can kill someone with one shot, and I can go over there. Earning heads, this is another kind of middle-jungle linkage."

Coach Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you two practicing in private?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "It is to use all the heroes in the game to play with them. During the individual competition, when Chi Shuo served as a sparring partner for me, he also used a lot of warrior heroes. In addition, the new season 10-1 will be released. The hero [Soul Chaser], Chi Shuo is also very skilled, I think of a mid-laner [Mingdie] that can be matched with the full map tracking, the coach can also consider it."

Coach Lin was silent for a moment, finally nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. Do you want to break the rules in the playoffs and try more lineup combinations?"

The two nodded at the same time.

Coach Lin said: "This will be a great risk."

Chi Shuo: "I know that although there is a chance of winning, we want to seek a breakthrough."

Ye Shaoyang echoed: "We will work hard to practice cooperation, and we will never lose the chain."

Coaches: "..."

The two of them sang together, this was discussed in advance, right?

Coach Lin laughed: "Okay, I believe you. After all, you are the world champions of individual competitions, and the combination of two world champions should not be too limited!"

The assistant coach smiled and said: "By joining forces, we can indeed seek breakthroughs! If the old routine is used all the time, the effect will be greatly reduced. You are right, we should take a long-term view. After all, we are Tianhuan, and now there are two worlds. Champion, have enough confidence!"

Several members of the coaching staff looked at each other with excited expressions.

In the past, Tianhuan was always under the control of others. Every time he thought about the tactical lineup before a game, the coaching staff had to think of baldness. Let Chi Shuo take the wild core? No, will it be targeted? Let Chi Shuo play the tool man, can the shooter take on the heavy responsibility of output?

This season, after Ye Shaoyang joined, Tianhuan's lineup had a lot of variables, and the coaching staff dared to come up with more lineups, and dared to make Chi Shuoye's core just right.

Now, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang personally guarantee—

Don't worry, expand your thinking boldly and try more new ones, we will never lose the chain!

This sentence is equivalent to: I can play any hero you ask me to take.

Other players are so arrogant, and the coach has to question whether you are too conceited? However, is there any need to question the guarantee of two world championships?

For the coaching staff, the commitment of the two is undoubtedly a booster!

Very good.

Coaches can give full play to their brains and find some more powerful lineup combinations.

This is the confidence and confidence of the double world champion!

Coach Lin looked at Chi Shuo and said, "Are you sure you can win this new hero [Soul Chaser]?"

Chi Shuo nodded decisively: "No problem."

Coach Lin looked at Ye Shaoyang again: "[Sharpshooter] [Artillery] these two archer heroes, are you sure you can go in the middle?" Ye Shaoyang was full of confidence: "Yes!"

Coach Lin said with a smile, "Okay. The coaching staff will study it carefully and come up with some reasonable 5-person lineups. Go back to training, I believe you can create miracles!"

After coming out of the conference room, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other and raised the corners of their mouths at the same time.

It's great that the coaches are willing to take their advice.

After all, this game is 5V5, not 2V2, and they can't be willful.

The adjustment of hero selection for mid-single junglers means that Lao Qin, Qu Jiang and Cheng Xing's heroes also have to keep up with their rhythm. How to match the lineup is something that the coaching staff needs to consider.

Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo just told the coaches about the infinite possibilities.

The Tianhuan of the S10 is different.

We have two world champions, and we have the confidence and confidence to seek breakthroughs!
