After dinner, Ye Shaoyang went back to his room and logged into the game with a smurf account. He was about to send a message to Chi Shuo to ask Chi Shuo to log into the game when an invitation popped up on the screen. "Friend [Jungler No. 8] invites you to join the ring room."
Ye Shaoyang used [Mid Laner No. 7]'s smurf account to join the room. He turned on the voice message and asked, "I was just about to look for you when you sent me an invitation. Have you been online?"
Chi Shuo's deep and pleasant voice came through the microphone. "Yes, I'm watching the game and waiting for you in the game. Log in to Q first and I'll send you some videos. "
Ye Shaoyang logged in to Q and Chi Shuo sent him several video files in succession. The file names were all "Takuya Kiriyama's Game Videos," followed by numbers 1 to 10.
Takuya Kiriyama was the Japanese player assigned to Group C. He was from MOK Team, one of the favorites to win the championship this year. He was the main jungler of MOK Team and was also "recommended" to the World Invitational Tournament.
Ye Shaoyang was not familiar with this player. The most famous jungler in Japan was "Naoki Fujita." He had met him once in the International Server Ranking Competition. His "Ninja" was superb. "Takuya Kiriyama" should be a newcomer who emerged in the last two years. Obviously, he had some skills to be the starting jungler of a powerhouse team.
Chi Shuo said, "I studied Takuya Kiriyama's game videos during the regular season. His most commonly used hero is" Ninja ", followed by" Stealth Thief "," Bloodcloak Assassin "," King of Fighters ", and" Demon Hunter "," Knight ", and" Sword Saint ". "MOK Team is a jungler team. He prefers" Assassin "and" Instant Kill ".
Ye Shaoyang opened the video that Chi Shuo had sent him. All the videos had been edited, and the player, Takuya Kiriyama, was singled out in the team battle. Ye Shaoyang could clearly see his operating habits and playing style.
Go to Japan to check the game videos during the regular season, record the screen, edit …
This wasn't a simple matter.
Has Chi Shuo been busy with these things since he returned to the hotel? He was even more responsible than a coach.
Ye Shaoyang finished watching the edited video with mixed feelings. He concluded, "Although he likes to use explosive spikes, his playstyle is more cautious. He is also very patient when he is crouching in the bushes. He likes to ambush and sneak attacks. He's completely different from Zhao Xinan and Mitchell, who are hot-blooded and aggressive. I can tell that he's a very calm player. "
Chi Shuo said, "Yes, Stinger's explosive power is very high. He can kill people instantly with one set. The rules for determining the winner of the individual competition were also more advantageous for Thorns. Be careful in tomorrow's match. "
There were two rules to determine the outcome of an individual match. One could either kill the opponent three times or destroy the opponent's crystal.
Since Stinger's explosive power was very high, Takuya Kiriyama would most likely use the strategy of "killing the opponent three times alone". He would use explosive power as quickly as possible to take down Ye Shaoyang's head. Three kills and he would win directly.
There were two ways to fight against Takuya Kiriyama. One was to resist his explosive power in the early game and drag it out until the later game to find an opportunity to operate the army line and win by pushing the tower. The other was to compete with his explosive power and be fiercer than him and take down three people before him.
Chi Shuo asked, "Do you want to fight in the early game or drag it out with him in the late game?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "I want to try fighting in the early game. Do you think it's possible?"
The two of them spoke almost at the same time. Such tacit understanding stunned both of them. Immediately, Chi Shuo's gentle voice sounded in the earpiece. "Of course it's possible. You play Stinger very well. Stinger is also a hero with high explosive power. You don't need to be afraid of Stinger. "
Ye Shaoyang said, "I think so too. Besides, I usually play against you. If we fight one-on-one, my chances of winning are not low. This Takuya Kiriyama, no matter how good he is, he can't be as good as Captain Chi, right? "
It felt good to be recognized by Shaoyang. Chi Shuo chuckled and said, "I can imitate his rhythm and practice with you."
Ye Shaoyang rubbed his hands and said, "Well, let's start with choosing a hero. For example, Illusionist and Lord of the Abyss. They won't suffer too much in a one-on-one fight with most of the Stingers. "
Chi Shuo said, "You can also try [Shadow Warlock]. This hero has a good effect against [Stealth Thief]. When the Thief gets close, you can also become invisible and sneak attack him. In addition, [Dark Witch] against [Ninja] is a very good idea. The witch's wizard puppet can avoid the damage of [Shadow Clone]."
Ye Shaoyang followed closely and said, "If he chooses King of Fighters, I can also use long-range artillery mages, such as Destroyer Sorcerer or Giant Monster of the North Sea. I can directly predict his position and kill him with a combo."
Chi Shuo said, "That's right. That's a lot of ideas. I still have to try them out for myself. "
Ye Shaoyang said, "Let's do it!"
The two entered the arena and fought according to the rules of the World Invitational Tournament.
In the first round, Chi Shuo chose Stealth Thief. Ye Shaoyang tried to use Illusionist to fight him. However, Chi Shuo circled around from the bushes with Level 6 Stealth and killed him instantly. Ye Shaoyang didn't even have time to use his skills.
In the second round, it was much easier to switch to [Lord of the Abyss]. Because he had the shadow to switch places with, it would not be so easy for the opponent to kill him. Ye Shaoyang seized the opportunity and backhanded Chi Shuo's head.
In the third round, Chi Shuo switched to Ninja to fight him. Ye Shaoyang switched to different heroes to find the best strategy and the smoothest way to play.
Chi Shuo switched heroes one after another to let Ye Shaoyang find the feel of the game.
Round after round, Chi Shuo didn't seem to be tired at all. Ye Shaoyang also became more and more excited. The two of them won one round, and they fought until 2 AM.
Chi Shuo said, "Okay, let's rest first."
Ye Shaoyang canceled his preparations and looked at the results of tonight's matches. There were a total of 20 matches, with an average of 15 minutes per match. Ye Shaoyang won 10 matches, and Chi Shuo won 10 matches. The winning rate was exactly 50%.
Although Sorcerers didn't have the advantage in a one-on-one fight with Thorn, Ye Shaoyang often cooperated with Chi Shuo and knew Thorn's fighting style very well. He could take advantage of the cooldown time of Thorn's skills to launch a surprise attack and kill him first.
Of course, it was normal to be killed by Thorn. It depended on who grasped the opportunity first.
Ye Shaoyang rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Thank you. I have a general idea. Tomorrow morning, I'll practice the last hit and deal with the details of the minions. I'll adapt to the situation during the match."
Chi Shuo said gently, "Okay, go to bed early. Don't mess up your schedule."
Seoul wasn't far from Beijing, so there was no jet lag. Ye Shaoyang usually went to bed at 1 or 2 AM. There was a match tomorrow, so messing up his schedule could easily affect his mental state.
Ye Shaoyang replied, "Good night." Then he took a hot shower and went to bed.
In his dream, he was playing one-on-one with Chi Shuo. The two of them switched many heroes to practice their skills. At the end of the dream, Chi Shuo looked at him gently and said, "Do your best. I believe you can do it."
Ye Shaoyang's chest was warm when he woke up. He was really grateful to Chi Shuo.
He had never seen such a dutiful sparring partner.
Not only did he help him analyze his opponent's style and hero pool, but he also imitated his opponent's play style. He practiced with him over and over again, looking for different ideas.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you have a better chance of winning. Although Ye Shaoyang hadn't played against Takuya Kiriyama before, he had played against Chi Shuo many times last night. It was as if he had met this opponent in advance.
He already had a very clear idea of what to do in the next match. He always believed that luck was more likely to fall on those who were well-prepared.
The next morning, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo turned on the computer again to play in the arena. This time, the two of them didn't rush to kill each other. Instead, they paid more attention to the details of the game, how to suppress the opponent's positioning, how to make the opponent lose minions, how to roll economy, what equipment to use first, which time to go back home to control the rhythm of the minions, and so on.
Ye Shaoyang usually paid attention to the details of a match. However, in a 5v5 match, he often had to move up and down the lane. Compared to a 1v1 match where he always stayed in the middle lane, the rhythm was different.
In a 1v1 match, the tempo was faster. Ye Shaoyang also needed to change his mindset as soon as possible. With Chi Shuo, the world champion in the individual competition, as his sparring partner, Ye Shaoyang's play became smoother and smoother. He was full of confidence for tonight's match.
At the same time, in the room of the Japanese team's Takuya Kiriyama.
The team's tactical consultant was playing the video and saying, "Lieyang is the best rookie in China's S10 division. You have to be careful in today's match. His [Lord of the Abyss] is very good."
Takuya Kiriyama smiled and said, "I know. He used [Lord of the Abyss] to get a pentakill. However, this hero is more suitable for reaping kills in a team battle. In a 1v1 match, the respawn mechanism of the ultimate skill will be half useless. There won't be a second kill for him to respawn. I only need to avoid his shadow so that I won't be instakilled. "
"His [Illusionist] is also very good. His other skills are also very good. For today's match, you'd better wait for him to choose his hero before you choose, so that you won't be countered by him."
"Yes, I understand."
Takuya Kiriyama looked at the scene of [Lord of the Abyss]'s pentakill debut on the computer screen. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully — a rookie mid laner with a deep pool of heroes?
This Lieyang, who had emerged from China's division this year, was indeed a very talented player.
However, there was nothing to be afraid of. In a 1v1 match, Assassins had an advantage over Mages. Assassins, in particular, could surprise the opponent with a sneak attack. As long as he could kill the opponent three times, he would win.
Killing a weak Mage three times? That was not a difficult task.
He believed that he could beat Lieyang and advance to the top 16 as the first in the group.
Japan's number one jungler, internationally recognized by GOW, had always been Naoya Fujita. However, Fujita was old. He had been playing for four years since his debut in S7. It was time for him to give way to the new generation of players.
As long as he won the championship of this year's World Invitational Tournament …
The number one jungler in Japan would be his!
Takuya Kiriyama took a deep breath and went to the cafeteria with his teammates for lunch.
The cafeteria was very lively during lunchtime. Players from all over the world were eating together. The buffet style made it easy for people with different tastes to choose. Takuya Kiriyama saw a few players from China. They were sitting together, chatting and laughing. They did not look nervous at all.
The player named Lieyang was said to be an Omega player. He was quite handsome. Their eyes met, and the player smiled politely at him. Takuya Kiriyama nodded at Lieyang in greeting.
Cheng Xing whispered next to him, "Brother Yang, is that Takuya Kiriyama?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "Yes, I've seen his player profile. It's the same as the picture."
Takuya Kiriyama looked like a polite gentleman. But you could not judge a person by his appearance. There was once a game where he squatted in the grass for three whole minutes, not moving at all. When most of his teammates were dead and the opponent was about to retreat, he suddenly appeared and took the kill. He took four kills in one go and turned the tide of the battle.
Such a calm and steady player was very scary. You could not be fooled by his gentle appearance.
Xie Weiyu said seriously, "Yangyang, do your best in the game this afternoon. This is the first game for us Chinese players. It'll be great if you can get a good start."
Zhou Jiawen smiled and said, "My game with Xiao Yu is scheduled for 7 pm. Where is Xiao Xing?"
Cheng Xing scratched his head and said, "I'm in Group H, and my game is the latest, at 10 pm tonight. My opponent is Vanessa. Vanessa is also a jungler. My master said that she would practice with me in the afternoon to get a feel for it. "
Xie Weiyu could not help but say, "Your master is so nice to you."
Cheng Xing chuckled and said, "My master looks like he's not easy to get close to, but he's only cold to people he doesn't know well. In fact, he's a super nice person and very responsible. Isn't that right, Brother Yang?"
Ye Shaoyang lowered his head and said calmly, "He's really nice."
Thinking of Chi Shuo, who was so conscientious in sparring with him last night, Ye Shaoyang felt warm in his heart. If he did not perform well in today's game, not only would he be sorry for himself, but he would also be sorry for Chi Shuo's efforts.
