"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Season 9 playoffs of God Wars. I am the official commentator for this match, Ming Yu. "" I am the official commentator Yao Mu. "
The big screen in the stadium and the live broadcast platform switched to the commentator's booth. Ye Shaoyang looked up at the big screen in surprise — — he didn't think that Sister Mu would be the official commentator this time instead of the guest host.
The requirements for an official commentator were much higher than for a host.
The scene of a match was ever-changing, so the commentator had to capture the players' exciting moves as quickly as possible and relay them to the audience. They also had to understand the lineups, the BP game, and the characteristics of each player.
For Yao Mu to be able to join the commentator team, it meant that her understanding of the game and her familiarity with the Pro Alliance players had reached a certain level.
She wasn't wearing a formal dress today, but a neat white shirt. Her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and she looked like a mature woman in the workplace. Her smile was as gentle and kind as ever.
Ming Yu said, "Mumu, today is the first time you've come to the official commentator's booth. Are you nervous?"
Yao Mu smiled, "I'm fine. After all, I have company, so I don't have to talk by myself."
Ming Yu said, "Your fans should be very surprised that you're sitting here as a commentator today. Do you want to greet everyone?"
Yao Mu said, "Thank you for the God Wars Pro Alliance's recognition of me, and thank you for the support of my fans. From now on, I'll be the permanent commentator for the Star City Arena. Let's focus on the two teams participating in today's competition. "
Ming Yu also changed the topic, "Today, Tianheng and Northern Shepherd are both veteran teams, and their styles are quite distinct. Tianheng has a wild core lineup, and Chi's jungler is obviously very strong. Northern Shepherd has two sides as the main C, and the Da and Xiao Zhao twins have a tacit understanding that many partners can't achieve. "
Yao Mu said, "Yes, Zhao and Xiao Zhao were the champions of last year's World Duo Tournament, and were recognized by the World Alliance as 9th Dan Glory."
Ming Yu said, "Both teams are evenly matched, so either team has a chance of winning. Currently, the guessing channel is open, everyone can guess the score..."
Ye Shaoyang took out his cell phone and opened the official guessing platform.
The support rate for Tianheng and Beimu was 45% and 55% respectively. Beimu was slightly ahead. After all, Beimu had two world champions while Tianheng only had one. Moreover, Tianheng's results in the regular season this year were indeed unsatisfactory.
Yao Mu said, "The contestants are ready. Let's begin the BP segment."
Ming Yu: "Northern Shepherd's coaches are indeed the first to ban [Blood Cloak Thorn]. Captain Chi's [Blood Cloak Thorn] has always been banned. Maybe it's because he's gotten so many pentakills in S6, which has left a psychological shadow on many teams."
Yao Mu smiled and said, "This is also a form of respect for him, right? When playing against Tianheng, few coaches would use Chi's famous hero. I'm guessing that Northern Shepherd wants to get rid of [Stealth] as well. This is also Captain Chi's famous hero. "
Ming Yu: "As expected! Northern Shepherd had consecutively killed two junglers in the first phase. Tianheng chose to target the top laner and ban Xiao Zhao's best heroes, [Berserker] and [Black Dragon Knight]. "
Yao Mu asked curiously, "Then, what hero will both sides be fighting for?"
Ye Shaoyang thought that Tianheng's top three players would probably pick Archer, top laner, and jungler. If they didn't pick a jungler, and the opposing coach continued to target Chi Shuo in the second phase of the BP, then Chi Shuo wouldn't have many heroes to choose from.
The plot developed as he expected.
Both sides quickly chose their lineups. Chi Shuo's jungler for this round was [King of Fighters]. Ye Shaoyang had met this jungler before in the Summit Tournament. He was a late game hero that required a lot of financial support.
Team resources were limited, and professional teams had to allocate them reasonably. If the jungler needed financial support, then the mid laner or top laner had to choose a hero that could be effective without financial support.
Therefore, Qujiang's mid laner for this round was [Frost Goddess].
There were two ways to play Frost Goddess. As a core damage dealer, she could drop critical hit equipment and rely on big moves to deal damage. As a tool, she could completely ignore financial support and only focus on control. She could focus on freezing the opponent and let her teammates deal damage.
Obviously, Qujiang's mid laner was a "tool" in this round, and the mid lane minions would probably be given to Chi Shuo.
Since the jungler [King of Fighters]'s early damage output was very low, the archer was chosen [Sharpshooter]. He had a strong burst in the early game and could one-shot people. This way, the team wouldn't be too weak in the early game and be bullied by the opponent.
Ye Shaoyang said thoughtfully, "Tianheng's Coach Lin is quite creative."
Qin Rui looked confused. "Is this lineup good?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "There's early and late game, burst and control. It's more comprehensive."
Qin Rui: "… Oh."
He was just here to watch the show and keep an eye on his brother so that his brother wouldn't suddenly split up in public.
He didn't know anything about lineups.
The game soon began.
Tianheng's jungle was invaded as expected.
Chi Shuo was targeted too miserably. When playing Tianheng, the other teams would invade the jungle like crazy. Other than the archer, Zhao Xinping, who went to the bottom lane to clear the lane, the other four players grouped together to counter your mana!
Chi Shuo was controlled by them and was quickly crippled. He was chased all the way and finally fell to the ground helplessly.
First Blood!
The jungler was killed at the beginning of the game. It was a huge loss.
Yao Mu said, "When we played Tianheng, this kind of situation often happened. This is Captain Chi's special treatment. Everyone should be used to it."
Ming Yu smiled and said, "Yes. After all, once Captain Chi develops, he can completely destroy the opponent. Therefore, the teams playing Tianheng all know to bet on your jungle in the early game."
Ye Shaoyang frowned. He thought that if it were him, he would probably use [Goddess of Destiny] or [Lord of the Abyss] to cooperate with Chi Shuo's [King of Fighters]. These two heroes had good damage output at level 1 and could take the initiative to counter the opponent's mana. Perhaps they could avoid the opponent's invasion and steal a mana buff back.
As long as King of Fighters' jungler got mana, his farming speed would be very fast and he could get through the weak early game with ease. Now that the opponent had three buffs, it would be very disadvantageous for Chi Shuo.
As Ye Shaoyang was thinking, he saw Chi Shuo quickly rush to the red buff area after reviving. Tianheng's support and archer were also very considerate. After clearing the minions, they immediately helped Chi Shuo to reduce the red buff to 1 HP. After Chi Shuo went over, he removed the red buff and then went to punish the small crab in the middle lane, barely recovering some losses.
However, Northern Shepherd played very calmly.
Archer Zhao Xinping took the opportunity to develop quickly. This was definitely not good news for Tianheng. This female A was very cold and expressionless during the game. Her support skills were first-class, and her positioning was also very cautious.
It was very difficult for Chi Shuo to catch her. Almost as soon as Chi Shuo reached the bottom lane, the support only saw the corner of her clothes, and she immediately flashed back to the bottom of the tower. This was an excellent game sense and extremely fast reaction speed.
Chi Shuo's gank failed.
If he couldn't kill the bottom lane, then what about the top lane?
Xiao Zhao was famous for his bad temper. As a result of Chi Shuo catching the top lane, Zhao Xinan was very irritable and directly used a big move to fight back. He was so fierce that he fought against two Tianheng players alone and even cleared the minions. Although Chi Shuo killed him, he was beaten to a pulp and had to go back home.
This way, the opposing archer could develop steadily for a while.
When Ye Shaoyang saw the 10-minute timer, he said helplessly, "Tianheng is in trouble this time."
In the first team battle, Qujiang's Three Feet of Frost froze the opposing jungler and support who were close to the front. This should have been good news. The Frost Goddess's Freeze could disable the opposing jungler and support for 1.5 seconds, giving them enough time to quickly deal damage. However, Xiao Zhao suddenly flashed from the bushes to the back row and instantly killed Tianheng's archer with a series of horizontal slashes!
Ye Shaoyang: "…"
This was an international top laner. His playstyle was extremely fierce. He flashed to the back row and cut people. Most archers couldn't dodge, and Old Nie did move a little too close to the front.
On the other side, Zhao Xinping hid very well. He shot arrows from the bushes and quickly killed Qujiang.
With the archer and sorcerer dead, there was no need to fight this round.
Tianheng had no choice but to retreat and give up the middle tower.
Once the middle tower was given up, the top and bottom lanes were quickly lost. Northern Shepherd began to snowball and quickly took the game.
The score was 10.
Ye Shaoyang's seat was very close to the stage. He could clearly see the annoyed look on Old Nie's face. Old Nie seemed to be very guilty of his positioning mistake. Chi Shuo's lips moved, but no one knew what he was saying. Was he trying to comfort Old Nie? His expression was very calm. After hearing what he said, the Tianheng players quickly adjusted themselves and started the second game.
In the second game, Coach Lin targeted the archers like crazy. He sent Zhao Xinping's two best archers to the ban position. Northern Shepherd was still targeting Chi Shuo's jungler. Invisible jungler? Don't even think about it. They won't let you out.
In the live broadcast room, Chi Shuo's fans were also complaining about the injustice. "If you have the guts, release our Captain Chi's Bloody Cloak Thorn!" "They've been banned for a few seasons, and they still don't dare to release it!"
Who told you to be a jungler? Junglers were too strong and were feared by other coaches.
Of course, they wouldn't release your strong hero.
Unless there was someone in Tianheng who was as strong as Chi Shuo and attracted the attention of the opposing coach, the coach would target another position. Only then would Chi Shuo be able to get the hero that he was good at.
In Tianheng, Qujiang in the mid lane wasn't very good at using Thorns, which was difficult to control. The coach didn't need to ban Thorns at all. The archer Nie Cheng's condition was deteriorating, so the coach didn't need to ban Thorns at all. If they didn't target your jungler, who else would they target?
One could imagine the pressure on Chi Shuo.
What was rare was that Chi Shuo was very focused during the game. He didn't look nervous or disappointed. His expression was very serious, and he occasionally gave instructions. Most of the time, he was probably in the game using signals to give instructions.
In the second game, the jungler was still invaded.
Chi Shuo guessed that the opponent would target his blue, so he chose to start the game with a red buff. The result of the staggered start was that Chi Shuo stole the opponent's blue buff and successfully started the game with a double buff.
The jungler he chose for this game was Spirit Fox, which had three displacements. It was the most agile jungler, and its displacements allowed it to pass through walls. Compared to King of Fighters, which was too late in the game, Spirit Fox also had good combat ability in the early game.
As soon as Chi Shuo reached level 6, he immediately started to wander around and catch people.
He used a life-for-life strategy. Spirit Fox's three displacements allowed him to jump over the tower and kill the opponent's archer directly!
Even though Zhao Xinping was protected by the support and retreated quickly, she couldn't withstand Chi Shuo's super long distance jump over the tower and was killed by Spirit Fox's combo! As soon as she died, Tianheng's archer and support duo immediately started to push the minions forward to whittle down the health of the defense tower.
After being killed twice by Chi Shuo, Zhao Xinping's team collapsed first.
Tianheng pushed down the outer tower and started to wander around with the archer, support, and jungler, quickly getting rid of the economy.
Tianheng played very well in this game. Chi Shuo set the pace of the game, and no one made any mistakes.
However, in the late game, Zhao Xinan on the top lane started to develop. Zhao Xinan's Warrior was Vampire Duke. This was a hero with great burst power and could drain health crazily with a big move. He could even fight against three heroes at once.
During the crucial dragon team battle, Zhao Xinan once again flashed to the back row and used the big move "Bloodthirsty Demon". With his terrifying hand speed and burst power, he instantly killed Tianheng's archer and mid laner!
Once the archer died and the mid laner died, how could you fight in a team battle?
Tianheng lost their dragon and was turned around by Northern Shepherd.
Ye Shaoyang looked at the soundproof room of Northern Shepherd.
Zhao Xinping was still expressionless, like a killing machine. Zhao Xinan was very lively. His mouth kept moving, and no one knew what he was talking about.
Northern Shepherd's sibling duo was indeed very good. They targeted the younger brother, and when the older sister developed in the later game, there was no way to deal with them in a team battle. Targeting the older sister, the younger brother could find opportunities in the team battle to kill the squishy. This was the advantage of having a "dual-core team". Unless you destroyed both the top and bottom lanes, it was almost impossible.
Although Tianheng played very well in the second game, and Chi Shuo's pace was also very good, this was often the case in games. A loss in the team battle could very likely ruin all the advantages you had in the early game.
Ye Shaoyang had encountered such a situation when he played ranked. The early game was very smooth, and they had taken a lot of kills. They were about to push to the high ground, but because of a mistake in the team battle, they were instantly turned around by the opponent.
This feeling was very uncomfortable.
It was countless times more uncomfortable than being in a disadvantageous position from the beginning to the end.
The score on the big screen became 20.
There were a total of five games in the playoffs, which meant that Northern Shepherd had control of three game points. As long as they won one game, Tianheng would be eliminated.
At this time, the psychological pressure on the players was huge.
Ye Shaoyang heard choking sobs coming from the back row of the audience. It should be Tianheng's fans crying. Qin Rui didn't feel good either. He asked in a low voice, "Brother, are Captain Chi and the others going to lose?"
Ye Shaoyang looked at the big stage silently.
Chi Shuo's expression was still calm. He was not affected by the score of 02.
What a coincidence. Ye Shaoyang came to watch Tianheng's game live. He wanted to know more about Tianheng's team members, but he ended up seeing 02 being in a disadvantageous position.
Chi Shuo, how would you deal with it? Would you seek stability or change?
