(The title is wrong, sorry for the confusion caused by multiple openings)
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar:
“Isn’t IG always like this?”
“It seems to have nothing to do with the version.”
"When didn't IG always fight?"
"Is Yuan Shen teasing us?"
Luo Xin asked: "IG seems to have always been known for its fighting skills. You fight very frequently in the game. This has been the case in previous versions, right?"
Yuan Shen responded: "Indeed, but what I want to say is that in the current version, even if you are not IG, you still need to learn to fight frequently, operate, and snowball. It has nothing to do with the team, it refers to the version."
Luo Xin nodded: "I see, next question, we all know that Yuan Shen has played top lane before, and he is the world's best top laner. May I ask, how do you think top laners should be played in the current version? You just said that warriors are comprehensively strengthened, is this also the case for top laners?"
Yuan Shen replied: "Yes, it should be said that the strengthening of the top lane is the focus, and the jungle is just strengthened by the way. Warrior heroes who can't survive in the top lane are used as junglers."
Luo Xin continued to ask: "In the second game, Yuan Shen used the hero Noxus as a jungler, which is a very unpopular choice. Just now Yuan Shen mentioned the rise of warrior junglers. Does Noxus include this hero?"
Yuan Shen denied: "I suggest that you don't try to play Noxus as a jungler, because it really doesn't work. Of course, I also know that you will definitely not listen to me. My words mainly serve as a disclaimer. When you find that you can't beat him, you can't blame me, because I have already warned you."
All the major clubs that were watching the game were taking notes frantically. This was not limited to the LPL clubs, as other clubs were all paying close attention to this game.
The purpose is to learn from IG and how to play in this version.
After the interview, Yuan Shen chose to return to the lounge.
Everyone else is ready.
Fu Manduo came forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Everyone has worked hard today. Let's go eat together. This is a good start to our new season."
So the IG players took their belongings and left the competition venue, came to the hotel, and went straight to the box.
While others were ordering food, Yuan Shen took out his phone to see what was being said in the forum.
Sure enough, his interview caused a sensation:
"Are warriors really that strong in this version?"
"You actually doubted the judgment of the Autumn God?"
"Just believe it, why think so much?"
"Can Qiu Shen still lie to you?"
At the same time, everyone is trying to play Noxus as a jungler.
The tactics Yuan Shen uses in every game will be imitated by passers-by in the next week.
Most of the time, they fail because it requires basic skills. If the basic skills are not good, you won’t be able to achieve that kind of effect.
Soon, all the dishes were served and the IG members started to eat.
After finishing their meal, the IG team went back to review today’s game and then continued their training.
In the next few days, everyone in IG devoted themselves to hard training.
I didn’t have much time to train before, but now I’m slowly making up for it.
At the same time, as the season progresses, news of other hero reworks has come out.
Everyone realized that what Yuan Shen said was not empty talk, and tactics had indeed risen!
At the LP competition site, the competition hadn't even started yet, but the venue was already packed with people.
In IG's lounge, everyone in IG is waiting for the game to start.
Ning Wang yawned and said, "Is it me who will play today? Play against JDG."
Yuan Shen replied: "Yes, you don't want to go on?"
Ning Wang shook his head: "No, I just think it's boring. The opponents are too weak. I feel like I can win no matter how hard I play."
Yuan Shen smiled: "It seems not as easy as you said."
In fact, Ning Wang was just bragging. He let him play against Yuan Shen in the previous few BO3s.
There were several thrilling matches, unlike Ning Wang who appears to be relaxed now.
After a moment, Fu Manduo reminded: "It's almost time, let's go to the game."
So everyone on IG left the lounge and went to the game.
After the players from both teams come on stage and get ready, they enter the BP stage.
In this game, both sides went back and forth, and the BP was done very quickly. It seemed like both sides knew what they wanted to choose.
After the BP was over, Fu Manduo, as a coach, returned to the lounge and sat with Yuan Shen to watch Bi Si.
Fu Manduo suddenly asked: "Do you think we can win with this lineup?"
Yuan Shen replied: "Everyone has a chance, it depends on how well they perform."
Entering the game screen, IG put pressure on the laning phase, and Ning Wang started to invade, trying to open a breakthrough from the wild area.
But he obviously underestimated Clid. The two of them dueled in the jungle, and Ning Wang was defeated and was killed by the extreme opponent.
Fu Manduo muttered, "What a pity. We had a chance, but we are at a disadvantage after this wave."
After gaining the advantage, Clid began to set the pace and help establish an advantage in the lane, and IG began to suffer a crushing defeat.
Rookie and Theshy desperately looked for several opportunities and delayed the game.
But it doesn't quench our thirst, and the advantage we get from fighting back is not enough.
In the end, IG lost to EDG.
IG's mid and top lanes were already powerless to turn the tide.
Soon, everyone from IG came back to the lounge.
Although they lost the game, Fumanduo focused on comforting the players and did not criticize them too much.
Fu Manduo looked at Yuan Shen and asked, "Will you play in the next game?"
Yuan Shen responded: "Okay, no problem for me."
Ning Wang complained: "This JDG jungler is a bit disgusting, Yuan Shen, teach him a lesson!"
Yuan Shen smiled: "Okay, I will fight with you."
Baolan protested: "Master Yuan, you are spoiling him too much. If I were you, I would definitely not spoil him."
Prince Ning retorted: "Princess Lan, this matter has nothing to do with you, can you please stop talking?"
The two started arguing again.
On the other side, in the JDG lounge, the JDG players were discussing the tactics for the next game.
Clid said, "As long as Ning Wang continues to play, we have a great chance. I have already figured out Ning Wang. I can tell what he wants to do at a glance."
Zoom gave a thumbs up: "Great! It looks like we can easily win the next game."
At this moment, a staff member appeared at the door and reminded: "IG adjusted the lineup, they replaced Yuanshen in the jungle position."
After hearing this, everyone in DJG realized that something was wrong.
Maybe Clid can really figure out Ning Wang, but the situation is different now. If someone says that they have figured out Yuan Shen, they are definitely bragging. There is no need to ask such questions.
So Zoom said, “Since they have changed people, we need to think long-term.”
"Yuan Shen has played very few games now, so we don't know what hero he will use, but judging from his previous interviews, it is very likely that he will choose a warrior."
Toothpaste said, "In that case, we should restrict him from getting the heroes he wants by banning them. Then, tactically, we should give the jungler more support. Yuan Shen likes to invade very much."
On the other side of the game, in the commentary booth, Wawa, Miller and Rita were ready.
Wawa explained: "The second match between the two teams is about to begin. In the first match, JDG suppressed Ning Wang through perfect performance in the jungle position, and even beat Ning Wang to win the game."
"The pressure is now on IG. Will they continue to play Ning Wang or replace him?"
Rita reminded: "I received news from the front that IG is making personnel adjustments. Ning Wang has been replaced and Yuan Shen will play."
Hearing this, the IG fans at the scene became excited and cheered wildly:
"IG!IG!IG1"
"God Yuan! God Yuan! God Yuan!"
Because they lost the first game, everyone is now very eager for Yuan Shen to come up and lead IG to regain victory!
At the game site, players from both teams returned.
The moment Yuan Shen appeared on the stage, the director immediately gave a close-up.
The atmosphere among the audience has reached its climax.
Yuan Shen came to the position, put on headphones, everything was ready, and the second BP of both sides began!
In this game, IG is on the blue side and JDG is on the red side.
BAN position situation:
IG: Ornn, Ryze, Galio.
JDG: Zoe, Irelia, Yasuo.
Wawa analyzed: "Right now, Irelia is very strong. The revised Irelia is too scary. Now in the mid-lane position, most heroes are afraid of Irelia. Once she is controlled by the Twin Blades, even if you use Flash, you may not survive."
Miller agreed: "That's right. Then IG targeted the top and middle lanes. Although they both targeted the middle lane, the meanings are different. IGBAN's hero is not strong in the laning phase, but he plays a big role in the team. IG's idea is to compete with the opponent in individual ability, not teamwork."
Rita continued, "That's true. Since IG can win based on individual ability, there's no need to make things too complicated."
IG on the blue side locked onto the Aatrox on the first floor.
Wawa was excited: "Here it comes! Aatrox, this is the newly reworked Aatrox. It can be considered as two completely different heroes from before the rework. The change is even greater than that of Irelia."
Miller agreed: "That's right. The current Aatrox has not played in a game yet. This is his first time playing. After all, he has just been reworked, and other teams are probably still studying his play style."
"Sure enough, for new and reworked heroes, Master Yuan still needs to demonstrate first so that everyone knows how to play them."
JDG locked Mundo and Troll on the first and second floors.
Rita analyzed: "Zoom's Mundo performed very well in the last game. He was able to withstand pressure in the laning phase, but after developing well, he was almost impossible to die in teamfights."
"Mundo is too awesome right now. If you can't kill him in the lane, he'll be very tanky and have decent damage once he gets some equipment."
It was IG's turn, and IG locked down Leblanc and Kaisa on the second and third floors.
Wawa commented: "Here comes Rookie's Leblanc and Smlz's Kaisa. We all thought that Smlz's Kaisa was not very good before and he was not suitable for playing this hero, but as the season progressed, he gradually improved. This is good news."
JDG got Swain on the third floor.
Miller muttered, "Which lane is this Swain on? In the current version, many Swains go to the bottom lane, which is very strange. Moreover, the effect is very good. He can be in the top three in the bottom lane appearance rate."
Rita agreed: "Indeed, there are too many heroes reworked in this version, which provides everyone with many new players and opportunities to try. It is worth looking forward to."
Entering the second round of BP, JDG banned Shen and Kindred.
IG also banned Braum and Shen.
JDG got the Minotaur on the fourth floor.
IG locked down Noxus and Luo on the fourth and fifth floors.
Miller exclaimed: "Ah? Noxus jungle? Noxus jungle again? Yuan Shen demonstrated it last time, and some teams tried it, but found that they didn't know how to play it, and it didn't work at all."
"I also saw many passers-by imitating, but found it useless and wanted to curse. Unfortunately, Yuan Shen had already issued a disclaimer to himself, telling you not to imitate him, but you insisted on following him."
JDG locked the clockwork on the fifth floor.
Both sides began to adjust the points.
But things did not develop as most people imagined.
This Noxus is not even a jungler!
Entering the final twenty seconds, the lineups of both teams were determined:
Blue side IG: top single Noxus, jungle Aatrox, mid single Leblanc, ADC Kaisa, support Rakan
Red JDG: Top Mundo, Jungle Troll, Mid Clockwork, ADC Swain, Support Alistar
Wawa commented: "As expected of IG, they really chose to give us a surprise. It's not Noxus, but Aatrox!"
"Well, let's wait and see how effective this Sword Demon is as a jungler."
Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen went out and started to set the pace:
"You guys go ahead and develop first in this match. I'm going to wait until I reach level 6. The opposing troll jungler is also not very good at ganking in the early stages, so you don't have to worry about him."
Theshy responded: "I have no problem going to the top lane."
Although Theshy did not lose in the last game, he even suppressed the opponent a lot.
But it’s hard to say which one is more effective in team battles.
So in this game, Thesy wanted to get back at the opponent, so he had to defeat this Mundo in the lane first.
The first wave of soldiers came out, IG took a defensive position, and seeing that the opponent had no intention of invading, Yuan Shen retreated and began to attack the red buff with the help of the duo.
Get the red buff, and clear all the wild monsters in the first round, from bottom to top.
While clearing the jungle, Yuan Shen was also observing the situation on the laning side.
In the top lane, Mundo starts to develop quietly at level 1, relying on his Q skill to last hit from a long distance.
Theshy’s strategy is very simple, which is to squeeze Mundo’s position as much as possible and make him lose experience.
Zoome is also quite confident that Noxus will not go too far.
In the middle lane, Rookie's Ahri was facing Toothpaste's Clockwork. Since he picked Clockwork, he naturally wanted to develop peacefully and then perform well in team fights.
It was obvious that Rookie would not give him this opportunity. He had been looking for opportunities to consume the enemy's energy since level 1. Every time Clockwork approached the minions to last hit, he had to be very careful.
In the bottom lane, the opposing bottom lane combination is also here for development, and Kaisa is also here for development. The two sides can't fight, so development is the end of the matter. It depends on who is more important in the team fight.
After Yuan Shen finished the first round, he had no chance in the top lane, so he helped to provide vision and left.
Continue with the second round.
Seven minutes into the game, the head-to-head ratio between the two sides was still zero to zero.
Wawa commented: "In this game, neither jungler is good at ganking heroes, and it feels a bit stuck. If you can't get a kill in the lane, you basically won't get any kills."
Miller agreed: "Yes, both sides are in full swing. JDG's relay is very strong and can keep up with IG's rhythm. It's not easy to beat them." (End of this chapter)
