The information brought by Ming Sheng was dozens of gigabytes. The coaching team studied it overnight, and Lin Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that Ming Sheng had compiled Xiao En's experience in the European competition into a document. It included videos of Xiao En's previous team, HER, and even videos of him practicing in the international server this season.
In the international server, Xiao En had an unknown alias called XX733. The aliases that he played with were called ZZ750 or ZZ760. Lin Feng knew at a glance that these were the aliases of the siblings, Zhao Xinan and Zhao Xinping.
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang's aliases in the international server had been exposed long ago. Now, the Northern Shepherd players' aliases in the international server had also been exposed by the all-powerful God Ming.
If one looked closely at the video, they would realize that after Xiao En joined the Northern Shepherd team, in order to quickly get along with the Zhao siblings, they did not use the method of three people ranking together. Instead, Xiao En first practiced the coordination of the top and middle lanes with Zhao Xinan, then practiced the coordination of the middle and bottom lanes with Zhao Xinping, and then practiced the coordination of the middle and bottom lanes separately.
The three of them rarely ranked together in the international server. It was probably during the Northern Shepherd team's internal special training and secret training matches that they practiced together. First, they practiced with one of the lanes, and then they practiced together. This method allowed Xiao En to quickly understand the different styles of his teammates and develop a good rapport with them.
The most valuable part of this information was that it showed that Northern Shepherd still had some hidden heroes and lineups. For example, Tianheng's previously hidden duo, which had not been used in the regular season and had been kept for key opponents.
After watching more than a dozen training videos, Coach Lin gathered all the members of Tianheng for a meeting at noon the next day.
"Our coaching team has carefully read the information given by God Ming. The conclusion is that the three lanes of Northern Shepherd are very strong, and the three international players have a very deep pool of heroes. They are the strongest opponents we have encountered so far in the domestic competition. "
In Group S, Jing Zhe was a strong double C, Fire Mark was strong in Nakano, Yueying was a top player in both lanes, and Ice Spirits was strong in team battles …
As for Northern Shepherd, all three paths were world-class players!
The reason why they were able to maintain their first place in Group S was also because of their hard work.
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Coach Lin continued, "Xiao En is a player from the European division. We are not very familiar with him. During this season's regular season, he mostly played the more common cannon mid laner. But in fact, in the international server, he often practices a few unpopular mid laners. "
The screen listed the heroes that Xiao En often trained in the international rankings.
The first was the Dark Witch.
When Xiao En chose [Dark Witch], ZZ750 would choose [Dark Angel] to complement him.
Coach Lin said, "As the mid laner, the Dark Witch can use the black magic skill 'Lich's Calamity' to deal AoE damage. [Dark Angel]'s mid-range control not only immobilizes people, but also lowers the opponent's defense. This combination is very effective in capturing people. "
Chi Shuo frowned and said, "[Dark Angel] is a Fathom tank. Zhao Xinan rarely takes tank-type heroes as the top laner. It seems that after Xiao En joined Northern Shepherd, in order to balance the economic distribution, Little Zhao also changed his way of thinking. "
Coach Lin said, "He plays very fiercely with the Fathom tank. He usually only makes one defensive item and then makes a strong item. He is tanky and has damage output. Together with [Dark Witch's AoE black magic, he can quickly reduce the opponent's health. Their win rate in the international rankings is similar to your duo. Their cooperation is also very good. "
Coach Lin paused and then pointed at the next hero with the laser pointer. "There is another hero that Xiao En practices in the international server. It is [Forest Lord]. I remember that Yangyang also knows how to play this hero, right? "
Ye Shaoyang said, "Of course. The summoning mid laner uses green vines to control the field. The playstyle is not the same as [Cobra King], which summons pets. It is mainly used to control the field and cooperate with teammates. "
Coach Lin said, "Their [Forest Lord] mid laner is used to cooperate with [Rose Edge] warriors on the flanks. It is very strong in killing the backline. Xiao En's vine skills are very accurate. The vines can control a large area. Zhao Xinan then flashes and slashes, directly killing a group of people in the backline. "
Everyone looked at some of the game replays that Coach Lin picked out and felt extremely shocked.
In this international ranking game, Xiao En used a big move, [Forest Vines], and directly controlled five people on the opposite side. Zhao Xinan flashed and slashed with the sharp sword in his hand, instantly killing three people!
The cooperation between the world-class top laners and mid laners was indeed terrifying.
Tianheng's mid laner coordination was very strong. There was no doubt about that. However, Northern Shepherd's top laner, mid laner, and bottom laner were all world-class players. It was obvious that Northern Shepherd was very ambitious this season. They probably wanted to win the world championship, so they did not hesitate to bring in a mid laner from Europe at a high price. They were also changing and improving.
Xiao En was also Chinese, so he had no problem communicating in Chinese. He practiced international ranking with Big Brother and Little Zhao every day. The speed of Northern Shepherd's team breaking in was actually much faster than Yueying.
Did Northern Shepherd have no weaknesses?
The players from Tianheng looked at each other and then at the coach.
Coach Lin said, "Northern Shepherd is very strong, but they also have weaknesses. Everyone should have thought of it. Their weakness is in the jungler position."
The top, mid, and bottom laners were all international-class players. Junglers had to give the economy to their teammates and be an unknown tool. There was definitely a gap between Northern Shepherd's jungler and Chi Shuo's jungler.
Lin Feng said, "The jungler is our first point of attack against Northern Shepherd."
He showed everyone the hero pool, movement path analysis, and economic distribution of the Northern Shepherd jungler's map that the coaching team had summarized for everyone to take a look.
"Northern Shepherd's junglers usually choose warriors with thick HP. They are not easy to kill. The probability of blue opening is 80%. The first blue opening is usually given to the mid laner. The jungler's role is to fatten the mid laner and archer as quickly as possible. Therefore, Xiao En and Zhao Xinping's economy takes off very quickly. When the game reaches 10 minutes, they will have the economic lead in all three lanes. "
If they had the economic lead in all three lanes, as long as they did not make any mistakes, they would usually win.
If they continued to snowball, it would be easy to win the game.
Chi Shuo frowned and said, "If we can combine the mid laners to attack the jungler."
Lin Feng said, "Northern Shepherd knows that their jungler is weak. The support will always defend the jungler, and the mid laner will support them as soon as possible. If we attack directly, we might not be able to break through. "
Chi Shuo said calmly, "But if we leave the jungler alone and attack the side lanes, it will be more difficult to break through."
Coach Lin nodded. "Yes. Therefore, after the analysis by the coaching team, the strategy that they decided on is to attack the jungler. Shaoyang will choose his best skill, Stab, and attack the opposite jungler with Chi Shuo. We will destroy their jungler and prevent them from developing too comfortably. "
He looked at Qin Yizhu and Cheng Xing. "What the side lanes need to do is to resist the opponent's attacks before our mid laner destroys their jungler. Don't give the opponent a free kill and economy."
Qin Yizhu scratched his head and said, "It's not the first time I've fought with Little Zhao. I'm confident that I won't be killed by him. But if Xiao En comes to support, I'm not sure if I can resist a 1v2. "
Cheng Xing whispered, "Sister Xinping's side lanes and archers are very strong. I'll play dirty and develop. When the time comes, I'll try my best not to be destroyed by her."
Defending the side lanes and attacking the mid laner was the best way to defeat Northern Shepherd.
Whether it would work or not would depend on the actual battle.
As for the BP, Coach Lin said, "Although we know about the heroes and systems that Northern Shepherd has trained in the international server, I don't plan to eliminate them. It's still the same principle. We're in the group stage of the regular season. No matter if we win or lose, we'll still be in the winner's group. The playoffs are a knockout system. We can't lose. It's a good thing to get in touch with their strong lineup in advance and discover our own problems and weaknesses. Don't feel too pressured. "
Everyone nodded to show that they understood.
Lin Feng concluded, "The coaching team has come up with a few plans to counter Northern Shepherd's lineup. Everyone, make the best use of your time to practice. It's the last match of Group S. Go all out!"
Everyone said in unison, "Roger that!"
***
At the same time, Northern Shepherd had an emergency pre-match meeting.
Northern Shepherd's coach said solemnly, "In theory, Xiao En's individual strength and rich experience should be better than Lieyang's, but I find it strange. Tianheng's Lieyang doesn't seem like a newbie. His performance this season has been too outstanding. He's a bit like Chi Shuo in S6. He's a very talented player and the biggest variable in Tianheng. "
On the big screen, Lieyang's hero pool and results were displayed.
In the S10 season, Ye Shaoyang's heroes included Frost, Lieyang, Ocean, Thunder, Goddess of Destiny, Holy Spirit, Armageddon, Earth, Fairy, Sun Mage, Illusionist, Lord of the Abyss, Succubus, Flower Demon, and so on.
Many of his heroes maintained a 100% win rate. His current MVP count was also the highest in the entire league.
His hero pool was unfathomable!
Zhao Xinan scratched his head and said, "If he's really a newbie, then he's very talented! When we first started paying attention to him, he only had eight national heroes. This season, he's brought out almost 20 heroes, right? After he joined Tianheng, Tianheng's tactics were also very rich. They even brought out Huowin's Goddess of Flames system and Jing Zhe's Bounty Warlock system after improving them. They've also played very well! "
Zhao Xinping calmly said, "Indeed. We know players like Old Qin and Qujiang very well. Cheng Xing is still a newbie. Tianheng's biggest uncontrollable factor is the mid laner Lieyang. "
The conference room was silent for a moment.
The coach said seriously, "So, when we play Tianheng, we have to focus on guarding against the mid laner. First, we have to guard against their mid laners teaming up to grab the side lanes. Second, we have to guard against their mid laners teaming up to fight in the jungle. Xiao En, you have to pay more attention to the mid laner. "
Xiao En nodded. "Understood. I'll try my best to make it difficult for him when we're playing."
Zhao Xinan smiled and patted Xiao En's shoulder. "Don't let him go. It'll be much easier for us to fight in the side lanes."
The prerequisite for the mid laner's support was to clear the minions. As long as Xiao En had enough suppressive power and didn't let Ye Shaoyang clear the minions immediately, Ye Shaoyang wouldn't be able to leave. Then, Tianheng's mid laners wouldn't be able to fight.
Keeping an eye on the mid laner was an important strategy for Bei Mu to play Tianheng.
***
For a week, all the teams in Group S were training hard. The players didn't broadcast. Other than eating and sleeping every day, they spent the rest of their time practicing their lineups and studying their opponents.
Both Little Star and Old Qin had dark circles under their eyes.
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo still went to bed early and woke up early. They looked very calm and were in a very good state of mind. Seeing that the two of them were so calm, their teammates felt a lot more relaxed.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June. The last week of the regular season would determine the fate of many teams.
Everyone in Tianheng packed their luggage and went to the Ya 'an eSports Center.
They were about to face their last opponent in the regular season, which was also the strongest boss in Group S.
Bei Mu.
