After winning nine matches in a row, Ye Shaoyang saw that it was already 12: 30 pm. He rubbed his sore neck and said to the netizens, "Everyone, go and have lunch first. We'll take a two-hour break and continue in the afternoon."
He turned off the stream and saw a private message from the boss in the game.
Jungler No. 8: "Xiao Bai, do you want to be a full-time game streamer?"
Being a game streamer and being an esports player were two different paths. The focus was different. Chi Shuo couldn't tell what Xiao Bai's goal was. Did he want to be a game streamer or a professional gamer?
Ye Shaoyang joked, "I only know three mages. My pool of heroes is smaller than a washbasin. Let's use [Lord of the Abyss] on the national server first. We'll talk about other things later."
Chi Shuo heard this and suggested, "Actually, there's a faster way to practice heroes."
Ye Shaoyang was interested, "Oh?"
Chi Shuo: "Go to the arena. You can quickly familiarize yourself with each hero's skills and mechanics."
Ye Shaoyang thought about it and nodded in agreement, "That's true. It takes at least ten to twenty minutes to play a ranked match. If it's a solo battle, it only takes two to three minutes. You can also test the restraints of different heroes. "
Chi Shuo: "Are you interested in playing a few rounds with me?"
A solo battle was the easiest way to test a person's true strength and see the opponent's mechanics and understanding of heroes.
Chi Shuo left the team and opened the arena in the game. He created a room and pulled Xiao Bai in, "Come, let's see if my assassin can kill your [Lord of the Abyss]."
Ye Shaoyang gladly accepted. He had played too many low-level games before. Those assassins couldn't pose a threat to an experienced player like him. However, the boss with whom he was ranked today was very skilled. He could try it out.
As soon as he entered the room, a message popped up on the screen.
— — Friend [Jungler No. 8] sent you a gift box. Please accept it.
Ye Shaoyang was stunned, "Gift box? What's this? "
Chi Shuo: "[Lord of the Abyss]'s legendary skin [Bloody Avenger]. The special effects of this skin will change, so it should feel better to the touch than the original version. Try it. "
Every time a new hero was released in the War of the Gods game, there would be skins for the players to choose from. Different skins would have different appearances, but it would not affect the attributes in the game.
Ye Shaoyang had previously used the original skin. [Lord of the Abyss] looked like a mage wearing a black robe and a black hood. He held a skeleton staff in his hand.
After changing into his new skin, his clothes turned into a black-red mage robe. His hood disappeared, and a blood-red mask appeared on his face. His magic staff also turned into a red crystal ball. The crystal ball was surrounded by a blood-red mist, highlighting the theme of "Bloody Revenge." The special effect of the Mark Explosion skill had the effect of splattering blood everywhere. It was much better than the original version.
Ye Shaoyang really liked this new skin and typed: "Thank you, Boss. This new skin is really cool."
Chi Shuo: "You're welcome. Why don't you try dueling with your new skin? "
Ye Shaoyang: "OK."
The two of them pressed ready, and the map was quickly loaded.
The dueling map was relatively simple. There was only one path in the middle and a few bushes on the side of the path to hide. There were two rules to determine the winner of a duel — kill the opponent or push the opponent's crystal. The two of them could agree on this.
There was no need to push the crystal in a duel between assassins and mages.
Ye Shaoyang simply said: "Whoever kills the opponent wins. How about it?"
Chi Shuo: "OK."
The match began. Both sides sent out their minions to fight in the middle of the map.
The two of them began to clear the minions.
Ye Shaoyang found that the boss's minions were quite good. He used Shadow to force the opponent to move, but the opponent didn't even miss a single minion. His HP was calculated extremely accurately. It was very likely that he had been specially trained.
It was common for experts to train their minions in private. Ye Shaoyang didn't think too much about it. He stared at the computer screen and continued to clear minions. When he had earned enough money, he bought the first item, [Cooldown Shoes]. It could increase movement speed and shorten the cooldown time of skills.
Ye Shaoyang had a slight advantage in the early stages of the match due to the mage's long attack range and the assassin's short range.
Soon, the light of leveling up appeared on both of them. They were both level 6.
At this time, Ye Shaoyang's [Lord of the Abyss] had about 80% HP, while Chi Shuo's [Bloodcloak Assassin] only had 50% HP.
No matter how one looked at it, they could kill the opponent.
Ye Shaoyang decisively launched an attack. He pressed the keyboard with explosive speed. On the screen, three shadows rushed to Assassin's side like the wind. Three abyssal marks and a black stare appeared on Assassin's body instantly!
After the marks appeared, Ye Shaoyang immediately pressed a big move.
However, a line of text appeared in the middle of the screen: Target lost.
Ye Shaoyang was stunned. He saw a blood-red dagger symbol suddenly appear on his body.
He instinctively wanted to dodge, but Assassin's movements were extremely agile. He quickly circled behind him, and the sharp dagger instantly pierced through his body. Blood splattered everywhere. The Lord of the Abyss's HP bar was emptied in one second?!
Looking at the gray screen, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but type: "You can even counterattack like this?"
Chi Shuo said: "You were careless. [Bloodcloak Assassin] has Combat Stealth. I blocked the timing of your skill release so that your big move missed. That way, I could counterattack and kill you. "
Ye Shaoyang praised: "Your prediction is very good."
He had launched a sudden attack just now, thinking that he would be able to insta-kill his opponent. But in the end, Thorn had used [Combat Stealth] to dodge his crucial big move, and then circled around to counterattack. He didn't even have time to use [Blink], and was instantly killed.
Chi Shuo said: "[Bloodcloak Assassin] has the strongest single kill ability among all Assassins. Moreover, his passive has a special characteristic. The lower his HP, the higher his damage. It's a fighting style that sells his HP. "
Ye Shaoyang typed: "666."
After fighting with an expert, Ye Shaoyang realized that his understanding of the game was far from enough.
When he was sorting out the heroes' information, although he had gone through all the heroes' skills, he only had a rough understanding of them. It was impossible for him to memorize all the characteristics of hundreds of heroes in a short time. He focused on the mid lane hero. He had never played [Bloodcloak Assassin] before, so of course, he didn't know how to use this hero.
However, the boss was a professional jungler. He had a good grasp of Assassin's timing.
He blocked the timing of his big move release, used Combat Stealth, and quickly circled behind to counterattack.
Such a terrifying jungler was definitely the nightmare of all the weak health heroes.
Chi Shuo continued: "[Bloodcloak Assassin] can deal high damage in a solo fight, but he also has a fatal weakness. He can't fight in a group fight and is prone to sudden death."
Ye Shaoyang analyzed: "Because he needs to have low HP to burst out. When he has low HP, his damage is the highest. However, in a group fight, there are many group attacks and crowd control skills. Is it difficult for him to find the opportunity to cut in? "
Chi Shuo: "Yes. If he enters with full HP, he can't deal any damage. If he enters with low HP, he can easily be counterattacked. "
This kind of Assassin required a jungler to have high awareness. If his teammates went up to start the group fight, when would Assassin enter? If he went too early, he would be easily killed. If he went too late, he could only collect his teammates' corpses.
Ye Shaoyang pressed the ready button: "Let's play another round."
In the second round, he was much more cautious and didn't suppress Assassin's HP.
However, [Bloodcloak Assassin] had another skill that could take HP, which was the "selling HP" tactic.
If you didn't hit him, he could hurt himself.
This kind of "hedgehog" hero was indeed difficult to deal with. If you hit him and couldn't kill him, he could counterattack with low HP. If you didn't hit him, he could take the initiative to sell his HP and kill you alone.
Therefore, after both sides reached level 6, Ye Shaoyang decisively used Flash and Shadow to return to the bottom of the tower. Chi Shuo didn't have time to finish his set of attacks before he was out of attack range.
Ye Shaoyang laughed: "You can't hit him, right?"
Chi Shuo: "… You run fast enough."
The short attack range was also Assassin's fatal flaw.
Can't beat him? Run first and wait for all his skills to cool down before counterattacking.
Although Ye Shaoyang didn't know much about this hero, he had a lot of experience in competitions and could understand many things at a glance.
Chi Shuo found that Little White was very "smart" in the game. After suffering a loss, he remembered his attack rhythm and decisively flashed to escape. He applied what he had learned and reacted very quickly.
Smart was a difficult thing to describe. According to Coach Lin, this was called "the sense of the battlefield." Little White's sense of the battlefield was very sharp. He could always make clear and accurate judgments about the current situation.
Chi Shuo admired him a little more and typed: "Try playing [Illusionist]."
Ye Shaoyang switched to [Illusionist] and continued to PK with Chi Shuo.
The map was loaded. The two patiently cleared the troops and leveled up to level 6. Chi Shuo damaged himself to low health and looked for an opportunity to attack. Ye Shaoyang turned around and used [Illusion Stun] to crowd-control him. Then, he killed him with a backhand combo.
Looking at Assassin at his feet, Ye Shaoyang smiled and typed: "You were careless this time."
Chi Shuo praised: "Good timing."
Ye Shaoyang: "Yes, as long as he's crowd-controlled, Assassin can only lie down."
Chi Shuo said: "The relationship between heroes is very complicated. You're already very familiar with [Lord of the Abyss]. It's only a matter of time before you enter the national server. But the battle of kings above 20 stars is a test of your hero pool. You only know how to play three mages. "
So, this was the reason why he took the initiative to challenge him one-on-one.
Ye Shaoyang's hero pool was very shallow. He only knew three mages, and the best one was [Lord of the Abyss]. Not to mention the professional league, it would be difficult for him to play in the ranking matches of high stars.
Expanding his hero pool was a must. In his previous life, he was an "all-around mid laner" in the eyes of his opponents and coaches. He knew how to play all mage heroes, so the opposing coaches wouldn't target him too much during the BP stage.
But he couldn't eat everything in one go. Everything had to be done slowly.
At this moment, Qin Rui passed by from behind: "Bro, lunch is ready. Remember to eat on time."
Ye Shaoyang was also hungry, so he typed: "Thank you, boss, for playing hero with me. Let's eat lunch first." He paused, then sent another line: "If you have time in the future, can we continue to play one-on-one matches?"
Ye Shaoyang's eyes were filled with the excitement of meeting an expert.
It was boring to win consecutive low-level matches.
Only by playing against an expert could he increase his strength as quickly as possible.
Chi Shuo replied: "Okay, let's meet again when we have time."
Beside him, Coach Lin said in shock: "You're sparring with this noob? And you're even teaching him?! "
Chi Shuo was the champion of the S7 World Individual Tournament.
Blood Thorn was one of Chi Shuo's famous heroes.
Countless top players in the international server wanted to challenge Chi Shuo to a PK match, but they were all rejected by Chi Shuo. Who would've thought that he would actually give a streamer a coaching match today? It was clear how much he valued this noob.
Lin Feng leaned over to look at the replay of the match, frowning: "You deliberately made a mistake, didn't you? How could your Thorn be stunned so easily by an illusionist? "
Chi Shuo calmly said: "That was the only way to test out his true potential. Although I sold him a loophole, he reacted quickly and immediately took advantage of it. " Chi Shuo pointed at the replay. "His reaction time is about 0.2 seconds, about the same as mine. He's very talented. If he practices for a while, I might not be able to win against him in a PK. "
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then looked at the screen thoughtfully: "Noob's reaction time is really fast. I wonder how old he is? Whether he's suitable to be a professional player or not, we still have to observe him. "
He paused, then suggested: "Since Noob is not the commander of the other teams, you don't have to spend too much energy on him. The playoffs are coming soon, let's focus on the match. Leave Noob to me. Why don't you give me this smurf account, and I'll talk to him? "
Chi Shuo didn't give the account to the coach, but said: "I won't delay the match, let's wait and see."
In the previous few matches, he had a strange tacit understanding with Noob.
If he wanted to attack, Noob would decisively flash to cripple the opponent, helping him to lower the opponent's health.
If he wanted to retreat, Noob would follow him in time, never dragging his feet.
When the two of them jumped over the tower to kill the opponent, they would split up to tank the tower's damage, quietly covering each other.
They didn't have much voice communication, but they could always understand each other's thoughts.
This kind of tacit understanding was very rare.
Only when experts had the same judgment of the situation would they have such tacit understanding.
Noob didn't know many heroes, and he didn't know much about the relationship between heroes.
But it was very strange that they could actually play at the same rhythm.
This was also the reason why Chi Shuo wanted to continue to keep in touch with Noob.
He had a premonition.
He had found a very talented seedling.
Perhaps their Tianhuan Squad could pick up the long-abandoned "Mid and Jungle Coordination" playstyle?
