The next day, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo went to bed early and woke up early as usual. Ye Shaoyang washed his face and was about to go to the balcony to feed the cat when he saw Chi Shuo squatting there to feed Little White. The early morning sun shone through the window and sprinkled on Alpha's handsome face, making Chi Shuo's originally serious face look warm.
Ye Shaoyang walked over to Chi Shuo and said with a smile, "Captain Chi, why did you suddenly think of helping me feed the cat?"
Chi Shuo said, "When I got up just now, I saw him walking around in the living room. I guess he's hungry."
Little White raised his head and meowed, as if answering Chi Shuo's words.
Chi Shuo smiled and patted his head. "In the future, I'll take care of him with you. I'll be the poop picker for once." Ye Shaoyang said, "Okay."
Taking care of a cat with a boyfriend was also a happy thing.
Chi Shuo didn't like small animals, but he was willing to accept Ye Shaoyang's pet and take care of Little White with Ye Shaoyang. This was the understanding and tolerance that Ye Shaoyang mentioned in the interview.
Ye Shaoyang looked at Chi Shuo and happened to meet his gaze. Chi Shuo suddenly said, "You're still calling me Captain Chi?"
"Then what should I call you?" Ye Shaoyang thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Chi Shuo?"
"Yes." Chi Shuo smiled. "There's no need to be so angry in private. Just call me by my name."
Since they were in a relationship, it wasn't appropriate to call him Captain Chi every day. Ye Shaoyang said calmly, "Then I'll call you Chi Shuo in private. You're not much older than me anyway."
Chi Shuo calculated and said, "I should be older than you by half a year."
Ye Shaoyang said, "Six months is negligible."
Chi Shuo smiled and stood up. "Let's go eat breakfast."
The two of them went to the team's cafeteria for breakfast. Their teammates were still asleep, so the two of them chatted as they ate.
Ye Shaoyang said, "There's still a month until the playoffs. If we use the same combinations we used in the regular season again in the playoffs, wouldn't the effects be too good?"
Chi Shuo: "Yes, I was just about to talk to you about this. There's still time. We can practice something else. "
Ye Shaoyang thought carefully. "Have you practiced the new hero [Soul Chaser] for the 10-1 season? This hero will enter the competition server during the playoffs. "
Every season of the Divinity Wars was divided into 1/2/3 small seasons, and new heroes would appear in each small season.
[Lord of the Abyss] was a new hero for the 9-3 season, and [Soul Chaser] appeared in the 10-1 season. Since the heroes in the competition server would be released later than the in-game account, the new heroes in the 10-1 season would only enter the competition server during the playoffs.
[Soul Chaser] summoned the souls of dead heroes to help it in battle. It relied purely on killing people and stacking buffs. The more it killed, the stronger it became. If you could only kill one or two people in a match, the damage output of this hero would be useless.
Currently, the major teams had not figured out a system to pair with this hero.
Chi Shuo said, "The mechanics of this hero are very special. I'm already very familiar with the controls, and the rhythm of the game is very fast in the early stages. However, it's more difficult to match the lineup. Have you thought of a mid laner to pair with it? "
Ye Shaoyang thought for a moment. "How about [Hell Butterfly]?"
[Hell Butterfly] was a very unpopular mid laner hero. Its damage output was very low, but it was very functional.
Chi Shuo was stunned, but he quickly understood Ye Shaoyang's train of thought. "Quick Tracking?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "Yes, it's more difficult to pair with it, but I believe that we can work together well."
Looking at Ye Shaoyang's confident expression, Chi Shuo gently held his hand and said, "I believe so too."
Ye Shaoyang smiled and held Chi Shuo's hand back. "Also, I think that we can try out more combinations. We shouldn't limit our thinking to the fixed pairings in the regular season."
Chi Shuo asked with interest, "For example?"
Ye Shaoyang leaned close to his ear and said mysteriously, "Mage jungler, AD mid laner?"
Chi Shuo was stunned. "Mage jungler?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "Everyone knows that I play [Lord of the Abyss] very well. Actually, [Lord of the Abyss] is very suitable for junglers. The three shadows can switch positions, and their positioning is very flexible. They can quickly rush through the jungle. If they stack their marks fast enough, their farming speed is also very good. Are you willing to give it a try? "
Chi Shuo looked at the light in his eyes and smiled slightly. "Okay, let's give it a try."
Ye Shaoyang's eyes seemed to light up every time he mentioned the game. He really loved this game and had his own understanding of it.
Heroes were not fixed.
Who said that only Mages could be chosen in the mid lane, and only Assassins and Warriors could be chosen in the jungler?
Mages jungler and Assassin mid laner. As long as the lineup was reasonable, changing positions would not affect their coordination at all.
After all, they knew each other's rhythm very well. After practicing together for a long time, Chi Shuo naturally knew how to play [Lord of the Abyss].
After the two returned to the dorm, they logged into the international server. To avoid being recognized, they used the name-changing card to change their names. They even deliberately changed their names to English names that looked like American names.
The two went to the international server to practice for two rounds. They found that the combination of [Hell Butterfly] and [Soul Chaser] was much more difficult than they had imagined. Fortunately, they had good awareness. After careful analysis and communication, they quickly found a suitable rhythm.
With five consecutive wins in the international server, the random archer and the random mid laner did not dare to leave the tower.
In order to prepare for the All-Stars and the World Invitational Tournament, the two had not played ranked for a long time. However, their chemistry was still there. The coordination between the mid laner and the mid laner was very fast. After a few rounds of matches, Ye Shaoyang could not help but think that cooperating with Chi Shuo was really cool. Chi Shuo could always understand his thoughts immediately.
Was it because they had confirmed their relationship? The two of them seemed to be more and more in sync?
The random players who had been defeated by the two of them in the international server: "This game is so hard to play!" "Where did this demon king come from? Soul Chaser + Hell Butterfly with a bunch of ghosts to insta-kill people. Is this reasonable? "
They played until noon. Chi Shuo said in a low voice, "It's almost time for lunch. Do you want to eat in the cafeteria? Or do you want me to pack it for you and bring it back? "
Ye Shaoyang said, "Let's go down and eat. Rest for a while."
Chi Shuo nodded and turned off the computer. He went downstairs with Ye Shaoyang.
The two of them were halfway through their meal when their other teammates came downstairs.
Cheng Xing obediently went up to greet them. "Good morning, Master. Good morning, Brother Yang."
Qujiang and Old Qin also came over. Coach Lin sat next to them with a plate in his hand. He smiled and asked, "Are you guys having lunch or breakfast?"
Chi Shuo said, "Lunch. We had breakfast at eight."
Coach Lin sighed. "It's good to sleep and wake up early. I want to learn from you guys."
Training was in the afternoon. After lunch, Coach Lin gathered all the Tianheng players to the training room on the second floor. He said in a clear voice, "We, Tianheng, came in second place in Group S of the regular season and entered the winner's group in the playoffs. Everyone should be very clear about our next opponent — the third-place team, Jing Zhe Team."
During the regular season, Jing Zhe Team's record against Tianheng was 12/12. Tianheng won by a narrow margin.
This team's overall strength was very strong. Fang Zhengqing and Xie Yuan were two world-class C's. Together with Li Yunmo, who was a very calm support, they formed an iron triangle. The jungler and top laner were not weak either.
Ye Shaoyang remembered that Jing Zhe used Bounty Warlock, Shadow Warlock, and Curse Warlock in the early stages. Tianheng was caught off guard and lost a game. However, Jing Zhe's signature Poison Squad was not used.
Would they use Poison Squad in the playoffs?
Chi Shuo and Fang Zhengqing did not have a tacit understanding. During the regular season, the reverse elimination method used by the coaches of both teams was a little useful. However, the playoffs were different from the regular season. The overall BP competition system placed more emphasis on the lineup. The players could not use the heroes that they had used before. It was also a big test for the hero pool.
Moreover, Jing Zhe's lineup was not decided by Fang Zhengqing. It was decided by Jing Zhe's coaching team. Therefore, Chi Shuo's reverse elimination method was not necessarily reliable.
Coach Lin said, "The playoffs are a best-of-five. The overall BP competition system. We are second in the winner's group. We have the priority to choose sides. I want to discuss with everyone. Should we choose the blue side or the red side for the first round? "
The blue side's advantage was that they could choose first. They could snatch a strong core hero of the version.
The red side's backup choice seemed passive. However, they could choose a pair of combinations on the first and second floor. After all the opponents had chosen, they could choose the last counter position to target.
The blue side's small dragon pit was close to their own jungle. It was more advantageous to fight the small dragon. The red side's big dragon was close to their own jungle. It was easier to snatch the big dragon later on.
Both the blue and red sides had their pros and cons. Tianheng had good results in the regular season. They had the right to choose sides and could decide the order of the first round. This had to be used well in combination with tactics.
Coach Lin looked at everyone. "Do you guys prefer the blue side or the red side?"
Cheng Xing secretly looked at his master. Qujiang and Old Qin looked at Ye Shaoyang. Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other and said at the same time, "The blue side."
Coach Lin smiled and said, "I guessed so too. The blue side will be easier to fight the small dragon. The pace in the early stages will be faster. If the two of you work together in the jungle, you can set the pace in the early stages. It will be easier to win. "
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang nodded at the same time.
Coach Lin said, "Then let's do it this way. For the playoff game against Jing Zhe, we will choose the blue side. We will try our best to win the first round. With the advantage of being the first player, the later BP will be easier to handle. The coaching team is still working on the specific line-up. There is still a month before the playoffs. For the next few days, you guys can form a team to play ranked games and get a feel for it. "
If the e-sports players did not play ranked games for a period of time, their reflexes and hand speed might not be able to keep up. This was also the reason why they had to maintain their daily training. Cheng Xing and Ye Shaoyang had not practiced ranked games for half a month. Coach Lin was not in a hurry to let everyone practice together.
He asked Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang to play in a double team and Old Qin, Qujiang, and Cheng Xing to play in a triple team. They would first go to the international server to practice and get a feel for the game. When the line-up was confirmed, the five of them would go to the game and practice with Team 2.
No one had any objections to the coach's arrangement.
When Coach Lin turned to leave, Chi Shuo suddenly called out to him and whispered, "Coach, can you let me and Yangyang participate in the coaching team's tactical discussion?"
Coach Lin was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Chi Shuo.
Chi Shuo's expression was calm. "Yangyang has a lot of his own understanding of the game. Maybe he can provide some new ideas for the coaching team."
Ye Shaoyang echoed, "Brainstorm. We also want to be able to help."
Coach Lin looked at Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang. When he met their serious eyes, Coach Lin smiled and nodded. "Of course. You two come with me."
Lin Feng was never an arbitrary coach. He would consider the thoughts and feelings of the players. He also had a very good temper. This was the key reason why Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang dared to interfere with the coaching team's decision-making.
The two of them followed Coach Lin to the conference room.
Tianheng's coaching team was very professional. In addition to the head coach, Lin Feng, there was also a data analyst, a data organizer, and two assistant coaches in charge of collecting information on the opponents.
In fact, professional players' understanding of tactics was not as professional as the coaching team's. Sometimes, professional players only knew the heroes they liked to play and were good at playing, but they didn't know which heroes were better together to win. Many of the lineups on the field were carefully selected by the coaches based on the characteristics of the players.
The assistant coach saw the two of them and was a little surprised. "Captain Chi and Yangyang came in person?"
Coach Lin smiled and said, "Yes. The two of them have some ideas of their own, so we can study them together. "He pointed to the chairs next to him and said," Sit down. "
Everyone sat in a circle, and the data analyst displayed all the data of the playoff players on the screen. Even the economic graphs of every game during the regular season were all collected and analyzed.
Ye Shaoyang looked at the graphs and was a little confused until the statistician explained, "From the graphs, we can see that Jing Zhe's support leveled up 10 seconds faster than the other teams' supports. We carefully extracted the videos of Jing Zhe's matches during the regular season and found that the reason Li Yunmo could reach level 6 earlier than the other supports was because he would protect Xie Yuan in the early stages of the game and steal the river crabs. After that, he would wander around the jungle, gain vision, and eat a few small monsters to gain experience."
It was very common for supports to disappear in the early stages of the game because supports needed to have good vision to prevent sneak attacks from the opponents. However, Li Yunmo's disappearance was not purely to gain vision. He would eat experience and reach level 6 earlier.
Once a support reached level 6, it meant that he could release a key crowd-control skill in the first team battle.
One more skill than the opponent could affect the outcome of the team battle.
Ye Shaoyang suddenly understood. "Jing Zhe's jungler is a tool. Not only does he give the economy to the mid laner and archer, but he also gives some of the small monsters to the support?"
Coach Lin nodded. "That's right. Jing Zhe's Iron Triangle is mid laner, archer, and support. We must pay more attention to the support. Even though we won against Jing Zhe in the regular season, they will definitely target Tianheng's mid laner in the playoffs. If the opposing support forces a team battle, it is very likely that they will destroy our mid and bottom laner in advance."
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other and said, "We will pay attention to this."
Coach Lin asked, "Is it more suitable to play Jing Zhe or the mid laner combination? What do you think about the choice of heroes? Feel free to suggest it. "
Chi Shuo said, "Many of the systems that were used in the regular season cannot be used again in the playoffs. Jing Zhe will definitely find a way to break them. This is also why Yangyang and I wanted to discuss it with the coaches in person."
Coach Lin was a little surprised. "What do you mean by the systems that cannot be used again?"
Chi Shuo said in a low voice, "Double Flight, Black and White, the King of Fighters' Destiny Girl, Succubus' Nightmare, Illusionist's Guerrilla Tactics, and so on. If we use these against Jing Zhe again, the effect will be greatly reduced."
Ye Shaoyang agreed. "Yes. It is actually not difficult to break these combinations. For example, they can directly eliminate the protection of the support and then use the crowd-control support to break our rhythm. Or, Fang Zhengqing can seize the initiative and destroy our bottom laner before our mid laner combination can change the rhythm. If the combination between Chi Shuo and I is interrupted, it will take a lot of time to reconnect. "
"Yes, the first time you use the same strategy, you can catch the opponent off guard. The second time you use it, the opponent may have already found a way to break it." Coach Lin paused and changed the topic. "But there are only so many heroes in the mid laner and jungler. If many of the combinations that were used in the regular season are not used in the playoffs, the two of you will have even fewer choices."
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo looked at each other. The latter gave him an affirmative look. Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Coach Lin, does the mid laner have to be a mage?"
Lin Feng was stunned. "This … is not necessarily true. However, the team battle requires physical damage and magic damage. If the mid laner does not choose a mage, the opponent will only have physical defense equipment. It will be very difficult to fight. "
Chi Shuo said, "I can use a mage as a jungler."
Ye Shaoyang said with a smile, "Then I can take the physical damage mid laner."
Lin Feng was speechless.
Chi Shuo quickly said, "We can also play double junglers."
Ye Shaoyang nodded in agreement. "That's right, double junglers."
Coach Lin was speechless.
Are the two of you going to heaven? Are you directly subverting the roles of junglers and mid laners?
Chi Shuo concluded, "We hope that when the coaches come up with the lineup tactics, they will not be limited to the current mid laner and jungler heroes. For example, I can use Yangyang's famous hero [Lord of the Abyss] as a jungler. Yangyang can also use physical damage as a mid laner. "
Ye Shaoyang said, "I can also use [Sharpshooter] as a mid laner."
Coach Lin looked at him with a complicated expression.
Ye Shaoyang promised, "I'm not joking. When Little Star went to the individual competition in the wild card area, I used a lot of Sharpshooters in my PK with Little Star. I realized that some Sharpshooters can actually play as a mid laner. For example, Sharpshooters and Cannoneers can deal damage from a long distance, clear troops quickly, and have longer arms than mages. "
Chi Shuo said, "Yangyang and I also tried it when we practiced in private. Using [Sharpshooter] against [World Destroyer Mage] and [Giant Monster of the North Sea], these mid laners with long arms and high burst damage, will give us a great advantage in lane battles."
The reason was very simple. [Sharpshooter] was a hero with a very long attack range. He had longer arms than mages. He could always crouch under the tower and snipe. The opposing mage's initial physical defense was very low, and he would have to go home after being sniped twice.
[Sharpshooter] could fight one-on-one with a Sharpshooter in the bottom lane. The opposing support could also help block bullets. However, in the middle lane, there was no support to help. The long-armed Sharpshooter and the fragile mage would have an advantage in lane battles.
Chi Shuo said, "Of course, [Sharpshooter] does not have the ability to one-shot people. He is a hero that can deal damage continuously. Paired with a jungler who can one-shot people, the effect will be very good. Yangyang can snipe people with one shot, and I can go over and take the kill. This is also another kind of combination between the mid and jungler. "
Coach Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What have you two been practicing in private?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "We've been playing with all the heroes in the game. During the individual competition, Chi Shuo was my sparring partner and used a lot of Warrior heroes. Also, Chi Shuo is very familiar with the new hero [Soul Chaser] that appeared in the 10-1 season. I've thought of a suitable mid laner [Hell Butterfly] that can be used to track the entire map. Coach, you can also consider it. "
Coach Lin was silent for a moment. Finally, he nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. You want to break the rules in the playoffs and try more team combinations? "
Both of them nodded at the same time.
Coach Lin said, "This will be very risky."
Chi Shuo said, "I know. Although we have a chance of winning if we play it safe, we want to find a breakthrough more."
Ye Shaoyang agreed. "We will work hard to practice our teamwork. We definitely won't drop the ball."
The coaches were speechless.
The two of them were echoing each other. This must have been discussed in advance, right?
Coach Lin laughed. "Alright, I believe in you two. After all, you two are world champions in the individual competition. The combination of two world champions shouldn't be too limited! "
The assistant coach said with a smile, "The combination of two world champions can indeed find a breakthrough! If we keep using the old tricks, the effect will be greatly reduced. You're right. We should set our sights on the long term. After all, Tianheng has two world champions now. We have enough confidence! "
The coaches looked at each other with excited expressions.
In the past, Tianheng was always under the control of others. Every time they came up with a tactical lineup before a game, the coaches were always worried sick. Let Chi Shuo take the wild seed? No, they would be targeted, wouldn't they? Let Chi Shuo work as a tool. Would an archer be able to take on the heavy responsibility of DPS?
This season, after Ye Shaoyang joined, Tianheng's lineup had a lot of changes. The coaches dared to bring out more lineups and let Chi Shuo take the wild seed head-on.
Now, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang personally guaranteed —
Don't worry, expand your thinking boldly and try new things. We definitely won't drop the ball!
This sentence was equivalent to: I can play any hero you want me to play well.
If the other players said such arrogant words, wouldn't it be too conceited for the coaches to question them? But was there a need to question the guarantees of two world champions?
For the coaches, the promises of the two were undoubtedly a shot in the arm!
That was great.
The coaches could give full play to their imaginations and come up with more powerful lineups.
This was the confidence and confidence of two world champions!
Coach Lin looked at Chi Shuo and said, "Are you sure you can bring [Soul Chaser], this new hero, to the competition?"
Chi Shuo nodded decisively. "No problem."
Coach Lin looked at Ye Shaoyang again. "Are you sure [Sharpshooter] and [Cannon Gunner] can be used in the middle lane?" Ye Shaoyang was full of confidence. "Yes!"
Coach Lin smiled and said, "Good. The coaches will study it carefully and come up with some reasonable five-man lineups. Go back and train hard. I believe you can create miracles! "
After coming out of the conference room, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
It was good that the coaches were willing to accept their suggestions.
After all, this game was a 5v5 and not a 2v2. They couldn't be capricious and act recklessly.
The adjustment of the heroes in the mid and jungle meant that the heroes of Old Qin, Qujiang, and Cheng Xing would have to keep up with their pace. The specific lineups needed to be considered by the coaches.
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo only told the coaches about the infinite possibilities.
Tianheng in S10 was no longer the same.
We have two world champions. We have the confidence and confidence to seek a breakthrough!
