The third round of the regular season had a total of five weeks. Two weeks had already passed, and the six teams in Group S had played against each other.
Tianheng 21, Jing Zhe 20, Huowen 20, won 2 matches, net points: 3.
Beimu 21, Yueying 20, Huowen 20, won 2 matches, net points: 3.
The two teams were tied for first place.
Jing Zhe 21, Huowen 12, Tianheng 1, won 1 match, net points: 0.
Huowen 21, Yueying 02, Beimu 1, won 1 match, net points: -1.
Both teams had a record of 1 win and 1 loss.
Yueying lost two matches in a row, net points: -2.
Huowen also lost two matches in a row, net points: -3.
From the current rankings, Tianheng had a very high chance of entering the winner's group (top four).
In this season, Yueying was eliminated by Group S in the second round because Xie Weiyu and Xu Zhuo didn't have enough time to break in. Although they returned to Group S, their top and bottom lane rhythm hadn't been completely solved yet.
Ye Shaoyang had a good relationship with Xie Weiyu. He knew that Xiao Yu was actually very hardworking and often practiced in private. However, the other teams in Group S were also very hardworking. Yueying had no chance of entering the winner's group with their current results.
The loser's group wasn't without hope. In the history of the Pro League, there were many teams that made it to the finals from the loser's group. There were still two months after the end of the regular season, so everything was uncertain.
Huowen's current results weren't good. As a team that leaned towards the core, Zhou Jiawen was being targeted too hard. If the midlaner and jungler couldn't play together, their rhythm would collapse.
In the third week, Group S 'schedule was Tianheng VS Huowen, Beimu VS Jing Zhe, Yueying VS Huowen.
If Tianheng could win against Huowen, they would have won 3 matches in a row. Even if they lost 2 matches in a row, they would still be able to enter the winner's group. The playoffs were a knockout system. The winner's group had two lives, so they had a higher chance of winning the prize.
The next afternoon, Coach Lin gathered the team for a meeting. "Huowen was the champion team last season. Although they're in Group S, they're still very strong, especially in group battles."
Ye Shaoyang had gone to the finals last season. Huowen, Huowen In Group S's group, the game. The five players were like a rope, and the rest. and the others... in the blink of an eye, their opponents..
. Chen Chen Chen Chen. was. Chen was Chen was Translation was Translation Chen Chen Chen Feng. Chen Chen Chen. Chen Chen Chen Chen: Translation: Translation.
Coach Lin said, "Ice Soul's strength lies in its team battle, but its weakness is also very obvious. They are not strong in the early stages of the game. Their archers and midfielders are not considered star players. Their individual strength is lacking compared to the two C's. This, Team Translation Team Team Team Team C1 That is Team S- Is. S.
Chi Shuo analyzed, "Their team battle strategy has already been thoroughly studied by the other teams. Before the team battle, they will first destroy a certain path. They won't be able to drag it out until the later stages."
Ye Shaoyang said, "Two days ago, in the match between Northern Shepherd and Frost Soul, I think we can use this idea as a reference. We should directly fight them in the early stages of the match so that Frost Soul's C position can't develop. We should try our best to fight small teams of three or four players and avoid large teams of five players."
Ice Soul's strongest team was a five-man team.
However, they might not necessarily be able to defeat others in a small-scale team battle. For example, in the classic 2v2 team battle between Nakano and Nakano, Tianheng's Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang were almost invincible. Even Huowen's Nakano was defeated. If Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang were to fight Ice Soul Nakano in a 2v2, their chances of winning would definitely be very high.
It was still unknown who would win the 4v4 team battle between the bottom lane's jungler and support archer.
If it was a 5v5, Tianheng would easily lose.
Ice Soul was a typical team battle team. When it was a 5v5, it was as if the brainwaves of all five players were synchronized. Disjointed cooperation was a problem that could easily occur in other teams, but Ice Soul had never encountered such a problem before.
Coach Lin looked at Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo. "You're right. After careful research, the coaching team summarized the dozen or so matches of Ice Soul this season. We found a pattern — the matches that Ice Soul won were won in an average of 25 minutes. The matches that they lost were only 20 minutes long on average. A difference of five minutes is enough to explain the problem. "
"In other words, Ice Soul can basically win in the later stages of a match that lasts for 25 minutes. The winning rate is more than 80%. If we don't let them drag it out in the later stages, we'll directly destroy one of their lanes at a fast pace. If we end the match before 20 minutes, they will easily lose. This team is very strong in the later stages, but not in the early stages. "
A team with such a distinct style was easy to target.
Last season, Ice Soul brought out a particularly novel Spirit Rabbit support system in the finals. They caught their opponents off guard and entered the international tournament as China's number one team. This season, their Spirit Rabbit was permanently in the Ban position.
Ye Shaoyang asked, "Do we need to Ban the Spirit Rabbit to fight Ice Soul?"
Coach Lin said, "I was just about to discuss this with everyone." He paused and joked, "Shaoyang, don't tell me you're going to use 'walk the opponent's lane and leave them with no way out' again?"
Ye Shaoyang coughed softly. "It won't work this time. The Spirit Rabbit system is very special. It requires a long time to practice. We have never practiced this system before. One week is not enough to practice from scratch. If we let Qujiang take the Spirit Rabbit … "
Qujiang said confidently, "I can destroy three lanes."
Everyone: "…"
Then it's better not to take it!
The Spirit Rabbit was a very special support system. The ultimate move of a cunning rabbit with three burrows could create three rabbit nests on the map and teleport teammates to them instantly. Ice Soul's Spirit Rabbit system was essentially a combination of operations and guerrilla warfare tactics. Chen Qianhua, as a support with a strong view of the overall situation, used the Spirit Rabbit to set the pace of the game and summon teammates to push the tower crazily.
The opponent would fall into the awkward situation of "wanting to hit them but not being able to find them" and being controlled by others.
This kind of system was indeed very difficult to crack.
Coach Lin asked, "Do you guys think we should ban the Spirit Rabbit as a support?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "I don't think it's necessary. We're still in the group stage of the regular season. It doesn't matter if we lose once or twice. Let's use the opponent's strong system as a way to accumulate competition experience? "
Chi Shuo agreed. "I think so too. Ice Soul's Spirit Rabbit system has been banned for an entire season, but in fact, this system's operations and playstyles are very flexible. We can also learn some experience from them when we clash with them on the field. "He looked at Qujiang." Especially Qujiang, he can learn from Little Chen's support thinking. "
Qujiang nodded seriously. "Yes, I've seen a lot of Captain Chen's game videos. He's really good at checking the eye positions and grasping the timing of team battles."
Coach Lin smiled with relief when the team members all said so. "It's best that you guys think so. In the future, if we go to the World Competition, we will encounter more strong opponents. It's good to train in advance. "
This sentence made everyone's chests heat up slightly. It was as if the stage of the World Competition was waving at them.
Yes, Tianheng's goal this season was the World Competition!
They had to have a long-term vision!
In the group stage, there was no need to desperately ban the strong systems of the domestic teams in order to win. If you banned the opponent's strongest lineup, even if you won, could you guarantee that you wouldn't encounter it again in the future?
There were so many lineup systems in this game that it was impossible to ban all of them.
On the contrary, if they played the Spirit Rabbit system against Ice Soul this time, wouldn't Tianheng have experience in the World Competition in the future when they encountered teams from other countries that used this kind of operations and guerrilla tactics?
The team members and coaches exchanged glances and reached a consensus.
Coach Lin looked at Qujiang and Cheng Xing and said with a smile, "This season, I will ban the strong team's support in almost every game just to reduce the pressure on the bottom lane. However, I won't ban the support position in the game against Ice Soul. I will release all of Captain Chen's support positions. The pressure on your bottom lane will be huge. Is that okay? "
Qujiang braced himself and said, "No problem. I'll try my best to protect Xiao Xing."
Cheng Xing scratched his head and said, "Then, I'll try my best to stay alive?"
There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
Everyone knew that the role of the support was very important in the fight against the support in the bottom lane. Sometimes, a critical big move could save the archer's life. The support could also help the archer take the kill at the right time.
Therefore, if Coach Lin released Captain Chen's strong support, Cheng Xing's survival environment would be extremely difficult.
Ye Shaoyang patted Cheng Xing's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will help the bottom lane more. When we fight Ice Soul, we will definitely fight around the bottom lane. We can't let their support wander frequently. "
Ice Soul's support wander would make people feel very uncomfortable. Chen Qianhua was like a pair of eyes that observed the entire situation. He would clearly know the movements of the opponent's jungler and mid laner and report their positions to his teammates in advance to prevent the opponent from catching people.
With such a support, it was easy for the jungler to catch people to return empty-handed.
In the early stage, the support wandered around to see clearly and prevent their teammates from being caught. In the late stage, they would band together to crush the opponent — this was Ice Soul's common strategy.
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang had two ways to catch people.
The first was to use an invisible hero to make Ice Soul's support invisible. The second was to use a hero that could cross obstacles and launch a surprise attack from a position where Ice Soul could not see from a distance.
The two exchanged a look and said tacitly, "Double-flying?"
Coach Lin nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes! We also think that using a Double-flying combination against Ice Soul is very suitable! However, Ice Soul might ban Double-flying. After all, your international accounts have already been exposed. "
Chi Shuo said, "Ice Soul might not ban Double-flying. I personally think that they are more likely to ban invisible junglers like Stealthed Bandit and Bloodcloak Assassin. Or they could ban invisible Mage Assassin."
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "If they ban Double-flying, I have an idea."
His teammates all turned to look at him. Cheng Xing said excitedly, "Brother Yang, tell us, I think your ideas are very interesting!"
Ye Shaoyang said, "Ice Soul is relatively weak in the early stage, right? There is a formation that is especially strong in the early stage. Have you forgotten? "
Chi Shuo immediately understood. "The Bounty Warlock system?"
Ye Shaoyang nodded. "Yes, we can also use the game where Jing Zhe defeated us!"
Coach Lin looked at Ye Shaoyang with mixed feelings.
Learning from the opponent and applying what you learned was also a necessary quality for a strong team.
In the last game against Fire Mark, Tianheng had learned Fire Mark's positional warfare system and improved it to great effect.
They could also learn from Jing Zhe's Bounty Warlock system and improve it when fighting Ice Soul!
The Pro League was like this. Learn from each other's strengths, sum up experience, and slowly improve.
Tianheng had come up with a lot of ways to combine the midlaner and jungler, but they could also learn from the strengths of other teams. If this continued, Tianheng would have more and more formations.
In the future, when they faced strong opponents in the World Championship, they would be able to adapt to the situation and find a way to deal with them as quickly as possible!
Lin Feng said excitedly, "Okay, it's settled then! I'll write down the hero configurations for fighting Ice Soul now. Everyone, make good use of the time to practice. "
Seven days passed quickly.
The venue for the third week's competition was in Glacier City. It was already early June, and the average temperature in this northern city famous for its snowy scenery was still around 22 degrees. The climate was very comfortable.
When everyone arrived at the hotel, they happened to run into the Ice Soul team.
Chen Qianhua took the initiative to walk over and greeted them with a smile. "Chi Shuo, what a coincidence."
Chi Shuo nodded at him. "Yes, we just arrived."
Chen Qianhua looked at Ye Shaoyang with a very gentle gaze. "Lieyang, hello."
Seeing him up close, Ye Shaoyang found that this Beta team captain's smile was very gentle and his words were very elegant. The four Alpha players of the Ice Soul team were very respectful to him. It seemed that Captain Chen was indeed a very charismatic player.
Ice Soul had been on the verge of disbanding in the S8 season, and had turned the tide to win the national championship in the S9 season.
Chen Qianhua had become a legend in the Alliance.
Ye Shaoyang admired this player who had turned the tide. He said angrily, "Hello, Captain Chen."
Chen Qianhua joked, "Can you kill me less in tomorrow's game?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "You can choose a tanky support, then I won't be able to hit you!"
Although he admired this gentle captain, he would not be merciful to anyone on the field.
