Chapter 89: Strange Line-Up
[Illusionist] was very common in online games. It controlled the opponent and killed them in one move. It was a typical "One Wave Style Stab". It was the easiest to control among the stab heroes. Players with bad hands especially liked to train it.
However, this kind of hero didn't appear often in the Pro League.
This was because [Illusionist] had a fatal flaw — its big move could be shared. In other words, in a 1v1, [Illusionist] could kill most of the fragile heroes. However, in a small group battle or a large group battle, [Illusionist]'s big move would be shared by the surrounding enemies. It would create an awkward situation where "no one can kill after a combo".
Moreover, [Illusionist] didn't have the "refresh after killing the enemy" like [Lord of the Abyss]. Usually, after a set, [Illusionist] would have no skills left and would be as fragile as a small soldier.
Team BOB's coach was a little surprised —
Tianheng directly took [Illusionist] on the first floor. How dare he?
[Illusionist] appeared in the Pro League. It was usually chosen to deal with the cumbersome [Frost Goddess]. It would have an advantage in lane battles. However, if Tianheng was chosen on the first floor, the other side could choose another mid laner to deal with him?
Coach BOB thought for a while and said decisively, "Use [King Cobra] to deal with him."
The reason was simple. [King Cobra] could summon four small snakes. Once [Illusionist]'s big move was released, it would be shared by the small snakes. Then, he would never be able to kill [King Cobra].
On the contrary, the small snakes could chase and bite him, quickly stacking the poison status. The [Illusionist] would be easily poisoned to death.
King Cobra, a summoner, was the biggest nemesis of [Illusionist].
BOB's mid laner rubbed his hands excitedly. "I heard that Little White's [Illusionist] is from the national server? I, [King Cobra], also took the national server's logo. He took [Illusionist] on the first floor. He's not putting us in his eyes! "
BOB's jungler laughed and said, "He got a pentakill with the help of his teammates last week. He's probably too arrogant."
Both sides continued to BP. Tianheng took [Illusionist], [Paladin], and [Machine Gun Hunter] from the first three floors. As [Paladin] was a swing position, he could be a support, top laner, or jungler....
However, the midlaner and archer had already been decided. Thus, in the second stage, BOB began to target the top laner and banned Old Qin's [Black Dragon Knight].
Tianheng 4th and 5th floor selected [Death's Chain] and [Blessed Priest].
Coach Bob froze for a moment.
[Priest of Blessings] could only support, which meant that [Death's Chain] would be the jungler, and [Paladin] would be the top laner?
The coach hesitated for a moment and chose a team formation.
Tianheng's team of five began to quickly swap heroes. [Paladin] was swapped to the first floor and given to Qin Yizhu. [Death's Chain] was given to Chi Shuo. [Illusionist] was the mid laner, [Blessed Priest] was the support, and [Machine Gun Hunter] was the archer.
Many question marks appeared in the livestream.
How long has it been since Death God's Chain appeared on stage? He should have been crippled long ago.
This hero's damage output is not good at all. It's like scratching an itch through a shoe.
Did Chi Shuo sleepwalk to S6? Wake up. It's S10.
With only an Illusionist and a Machine Gunner, the damage output in a group battle shouldn't be enough, right? Illusionist was useless in a team battle.
The two commentators looked at each other and said doubtfully, "Tianheng's team battle output is weak. The top laner is very tanky, but he doesn't have much DPS. As for the jungler … during S6, Chi Shuo used [Death's Chain] many times to win the MVP title. However, we all know that S7's skill changes changed this hero to the sewer."
The female commentator said, "That's right. This hero hasn't appeared in the Pro League for a full three seasons."
Sewer heroes were unpopular heroes that had been hacked into pieces by the officials and were basically unplayable.
Death's Chain also had a glorious moment during S6, but after the skill changes, the damage of the big move was halved. His DPS wasn't enough, and his body was very fragile. He rarely appeared in the Pro League in subsequent seasons.
Commentator: "Tianheng's team formation only has two DPS in the team battle. [Illusionist]'s big move is split and can't kill anyone in a team battle. Can they only rely on one archer?"
The audience was also full of doubts.
The match began.
In the first battle for the jungle buff, [Blessed Priest]'s support was relatively fragile. The opposing support, [Forest Messenger], had the ability to heal. Tianheng would be at a disadvantage if they fought.
Therefore, Tianheng took the initiative to avoid it and went for their own red. Team BOB probably thought that Tianheng would invade the blue buff, so they went to defend their own blue.
The two sides successfully avoided each other.
Chi Shuo was still playing like a tool. He gave the first red to the archer, and the first blue to the mid laner.
Then, everyone saw —
The support, [Blessed Priest], used a purple chain to tie [Illusionist] to the mid lane to clear the minions.
"The support level 1 follows the mid lane. This is a common strategy. Two people clearing minions is always faster than one person. After clearing the minions first, the mid laner can roam around to support."
"Team BOB's support is following the archer. Little Star at the bottom lane is 1v2. He should be able to withstand the pressure!"
"That's right. [Machine Gun Hunter] is born with high attack speed. His Q skill can continuously fire bullets from a long distance and clear the minions on a lane. Moreover, his defense is relatively high. If he hides under the tower, he won't die for the time being."
Following the analysis of the two commentators, in the game, Ye Shaoyang and Qujiang in the mid lane quickly cleared the minions and seemed to be heading for the bottom lane. Team BOB's mid laner immediately sounded the alarm. "Mid laner MISS. Be careful of the bottom lane!"
The two players at the bottom lane quickly retreated.
However, the audience with God's perspective could clearly see that Ye Shaoyang and Qujiang did not go to the bottom lane. They took a step towards the bottom lane and gave the opposing mid laner a "false vision". Then, they circled around the jungle to the top lane.
Old Qin's [Paladin] had low attack and was very slow in clearing minions.
When Ye Shaoyang's side finished clearing the six minions in the mid lane, Old Qin had only killed two.
Thus, the mid laner came to the top lane and helped Old Qin clear the remaining four minions. The rewards for the last hit were all taken by the mid laner.
The commentator said, "Tianheng is in the middle lane this round. The top laner gave four minions to the Illusionist!"
The Pro League was not like ranked matches. If you randomly went to your teammates' top lane and blindly killed minions, you would be scolded to death by the coach. Thus, Ye Shaoyang dared to go to the top lane and kill minions. It must have been because the team had communicated with him beforehand.
Paladins did not have any damage output anyway. They just needed to make two pieces of defensive equipment and give all their economy to Ye Shaoyang.
Thus, when Ye Shaoyang returned to the mid lane after a wave of support, he was more than 100 yuan higher than the opposing mid laner. He was also one level higher. The opposing mid laner was surprised to find that the support was actually following Ye Shaoyang.
Team BOB's mid laner realized that something was wrong. "They are playing a combination of mid and support in this round! The archer has been released. "
Team BOB's jungler immediately said, "Understood. I'll go and kill their archer!"
A moment later, Team BOB's jungler was the first to reach level 6.
He opened the game interface and looked — oh wow! Chi Shuo was only level 4!
This way, wouldn't it be easy for him to go to the bottom lane and kill Cheng Xing with his teammates?
Team BOB's jungler quickly ran to the bottom lane and crouched down.
In the live chat, Ye Shaoyang reminded him, "Little Xing, the opposing jungler is level 6. He'll definitely catch you."
Cheng Xing said, "I'll be careful and hide under the tower."
Ye Shaoyang said, "Don't hide under the tower. Go and put on a show. We'll be there soon. "
Cheng Xing froze for a moment.
Put on a show?
Alright! He had to listen to Brother Yang's words.
Thus, Cheng Xing tiptoed out from under the tower and pretended to kill the last two minions. He moved slightly forward and just happened to walk into the range of the opposing jungler.
The opposing jungler immediately seized the opportunity and used a big move to stun Cheng Xing!
However, before he could follow up with his damage output, a chain suddenly stretched out from the bushes and forcefully hooked him over. Ye Shaoyang, who had been waiting there for a long time, exploded with his hand speed. With a WQR combo, purple light shards exploded in front of his chest and the opposing jungler was instantly killed!
— — First Blood!
Instead of killing, he was killed.
BOB's jungler, "... F * ck! There are three people in the bushes. Actors! "
Captain BOB frowned, "Bottom lane support, pay attention to your vision."
His support teammate felt wronged, "They went around their own jungler. I didn't see them at all."
The captain comforted him, "It's okay. Let's do it again."
After reviving, the jungler quickly rushed to his own jungler to collect mana.
Halfway through, he suddenly heard the kill sound in his ear — —
[Tianheng Lieyang (Illusionist) killed BOB Xiaobo (King Cobra)!]
This wave of kills was so fast that it caught everyone off guard!
BOB's mid laner was clearing the junglers with four small snakes in the middle lane when a black hook suddenly appeared from the bushes — — the cold chain of the Grim Reaper's Chain instantly hooked him over and tied him up. Then, what awaited him was the Illusionist's burst!
The Illusionist had the highest critical hit and only needed one second to kill someone.
After crouching in the bottom lane, the opposing jungler was gone.
After another wave of sneak attacks in the middle lane, the opposing mid laner was also gone.
Then, Ye Shaoyang ran to the top lane to kill the junglers in the top lane.
The two commentators were stunned for a moment before they finally realized the mystery of Tianheng's lineup, "This is a wandering wave attack!" "Nakano huddles together and crazily grabs people to disrupt the opponent's rhythm!"
At this time, the audience finally realized what was so good about Tianheng's strange lineup.
The support [Priest of Blessing] used a chain to tie up the mid laner. It could add mana to the mid laner and increase spell damage so that the mid laner would not lack mana. His damage output would also increase by a level and was equivalent to a "pendant" for the mid laner.
Although the jungler [Grim Reaper's Chain] did not have high damage output, his Q skill could hook people over from a distance and bind them. Your [King Cobra] had four small snakes that could share the damage? I'll avoid your small snakes and lure you over to kill you!
After [Priest of Blessing] reached level 6, its big move could increase the speed of the entire team.
Qujiang's support equipment was also a team acceleration equipment, which meant that there were two teams with acceleration!
Ye Shaoyang also dropped a pair of acceleration shoes.
The speed of this support was so fast that it could fly!
Thus, the audience saw the jungler, mid laner, and support, the three of them "colluding with each other". They huddled together and ran all over the canyon, crouching in the grass to ambush.
After killing BOB's mid laner in the middle lane, the three of them quickly ran to the jungle and snatched the opponent's blue buff.
Immediately after, after Ye Shaoyang's big move was off cooldown, the three of them accelerated and ran to the bottom lane like a gust of wind. Chi Shuo's hook was thrown from a distance. At a tricky angle, it directly hooked the fragile archer behind the support.
Ye Shaoyang released a combo …
Purple shards flew everywhere, and the archer was gone.
Tianheng started to fight the minions.
After killing the minions, he ran to the middle lane to clear the minions. When his big move was ready, he accelerated and ran to the top lane.
BOB's top laner realized the danger and quickly retreated to the bottom of the tower. However, Chi Shuo hid in the grass at the side of the tower. With a Q skill, the familiar black chain forcibly hooked the top laner crouching under the tower —
Ye Shaoyang used a combo, and BOB's top laner was gone.
BOB's players were speechless.
F * ck! Where the hell did they come from?!
Wasn't this kind of guerrilla warfare too disgusting?
It was useless to hide under the tower. Chi Shuo's hook was accurate, and Ye Shaoyang's hand speed was also very fast. Thus, the audience saw the three of them hugging together and speeding through the canyon, quickly reaching their destination …
Chi Shuo hooked one over, and Ye Shaoyang killed one.
This method was like —
Chi Shuo: "Come, kill him."
Ye Shaoyang: "Okay, he's gone."
After killing him, they invaded the jungle to snatch resources. When their big moves were off cooldown, they changed routes and hooked another one, continuing to kill.
The commentator didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Ahem, can these three be called the 'Disaster Team'? Who will be the next disaster? "
"Ah … the opposing mid laner has been hooked again."
"He's used Flash! It's a pity that the Illusionist used an E skill to control him and kill him over the tower! "
"He can dodge Chi Shuo's hook, but he can't dodge Yangyang's control. It's difficult! "
The netizens in the broadcast room were also amused by this playstyle.
Please enjoy the performance of Tianheng's three-man disaster team as they scourged their opponents all over the canyon?
Tianheng's damage output was indeed not enough, but they didn't fight a team. They just played guerrilla warfare and killed you in one wave.
Qujiang: "We have a four-wheel drive, full of horsepower, and run very fast!"
After killing the bottom laner, we'll kill the middle laner, and after killing the middle laner, we'll kill the top laner. As a result, BOB's three lanes all collapsed?
The commentator said excitedly, "Under the fast-paced guerrilla warfare of Tianheng's four-wheel drive and scourging people all over the canyon, the economic gap between the two sides has been pulled open to 5,000!"
"What surprised us was that Little Star, who was left alone in the bottom lane, didn't die even once. Because BOB's mid laner and jungler were killed several times by Tianheng's three players, they didn't have time to catch Little Star. "
"Little Star's development is very easy because he hasn't died even once. His economy is 1,000 higher than the opposing archer's!"
"The mid laner's equipment is even more luxurious. He has already taken 10 kills!"
Not only did BOB's three lanes collapse, but the players' mentality was also about to collapse.
Fifteen minutes into the game, Ye Shaoyang had taken 10 kills. What did this mean? It meant that when their players respawned online, they would be sent home by the elusive Illusionist after clearing a wave of enemies.
Ye Shaoyang's three-piece set of equipment had been completed, including a staff, a magic book, and a magic crystal ball. He also used the remaining money to make two pairs of shoes.
A pair of acceleration shoes and a pair of cooling shoes. Was this scientific?!
Making two pairs of shoes, were you trying to escape from Earth?
Seeing this, everyone realized that Tianheng's strategy for this game was very clear.
Chi Shuo, Ye Shaoyang, and Qujiang formed a team and quickly roamed around to catch people.
Cheng Xing and Qin Yizhu were left alone. Although it was very dangerous for an archer to be left alone, offense was the best defense! If I killed your jungler, mid laner, and archer, would my archer still be in danger?
Cheng Xing happily cleared the bottom lane and developed. No one had time to catch him. He also quickly pushed the outer tower at the bottom lane. Then, taking advantage of Brother Yang's instant kill of the opposing mid laner, he ran to the middle lane tower and pushed it.
Then, he changed positions with Old Qin and pushed the top lane tower while Brother Yang killed the opposing top laner.
Cheng Xing: "I am a heartless tower pushing machine."
The economic gap was getting bigger and bigger. BOB was a little confused by this strange playstyle. By the time he reacted and wanted to forcefully push the middle lane, it was already too late.
Both sides were in a 5v5 team battle. Chi Shuo directly passed through the crowd and hooked the opposing archer, who was instantly killed by Ye Shaoyang — really in an instant! In less than a second, he disappeared. There was no time to react!
The 5v5 became a 5v4.
They lost members before the team battle began. This team battle couldn't be fought at all.
So what if BOB's lineup was very strong in the team battle?
Let's understand the archer's Vanish skill.
If you can't deal damage, you'll just die and go home.
The first game ended quickly in 18 minutes. The final score was simply unbearable.
Illusionist: 12 kills. The damage ratio was 45%. He was undoubtedly the MVP!
Although the Illusionist in this game wasn't as cool as the Lord of the Abyss's five kills, the Illusionist who moved quickly, destroyed three lanes, appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and instantly killed people. He was the most terrifying existence in the canyon!
If you didn't even know where he was, you would be dead.
This kind of skill gave a huge psychological threat and pressure. In the later stages, BOB's players didn't dare to leave the tower. Unfortunately, even if they didn't leave the tower, they would still be hooked out by Chi Shuo or killed by Ye Shaoyang.
In the first game, BOB suffered a crushing defeat!
The two casters looked at each other.
"Facing Tianheng's style of moving quickly and killing people in one wave, is there any strategy to deal with it?"
The other caster shook his head. "The tempo is too fast. The Priest of Blessings itself has acceleration, and the support equipment it drops is also acceleration equipment. It's equivalent to a four-wheel drive. You can't catch up if you chase; you can't dodge if you dodge!"
"Unless you choose a more flexible lineup and go around the back to kill the opposing mid laner. Or, the second piece of equipment can be directly made into a magic defense equipment, so that the Illusionist can't kill people."
"But if the second piece of equipment is made into a magic defense equipment, the damage output is too low."
How to break through this lineup?
At this time, the coaches watching the game live broadcast were all having headaches.
They didn't expect a sewer hero like [Death's Chain] to be used as a tool. With [Illusionist] as the core, the combination of hooking and killing people was very strong!
It wasn't enough to ban Ye Shaoyang's [Lord of the Abyss], but also [Illusionist]?
But then wouldn't all of Chi Shuo's heroes be released?
After the two sides rested for a while, the second game began.
BOB was on the blue side this time. During the BP stage, the coach began to hesitate.
Who should he ban? [Lord of the Abyss] had just gotten a pentakill last week, so he didn't dare to let it go. However, Tianheng's [Illusionist] system was also very disgusting. It activated acceleration all over the map. Wherever he ran, he would kill. BOB's rhythm was quickly broken.
After a while, Coach BOB submitted his options.
The first ban position was given to [Lord of the Abyss].
The second ban position was actually given to [Illusionist].
The two casters were speechless.
The netizens in the live broadcast room all laughed.
F * ck, Tianheng's new mid laner supreme VIP treatment!
Even banning two mid laners, coach, you can do it!
It seemed that Tianheng had a mid laner who left a psychological shadow in their opponents' hearts.
It was common to encounter illusionists in ranked games, but today was the first time I discovered that illusionists could play such a trick. They appeared and disappeared unpredictably and killed the opponent 12 times. If I were the coach, I would f * cking ban him too!
Hahaha, Chi Shuo must be very happy right now, right? It was the first time he encountered a jungler who wasn't banned.
Chi Shuo was indeed in a complicated mood.
In the S9 season, his jungler had been banned for an entire year. However, in the S10 season, the coaches realized that Tianheng's lineup around the mid laner was also very disgusting, so they began to ban the mid laner.
This was the first time in many years that he had released all his junglers!
When Coach Lin saw this, his eyes were a little hot.
He finally knew why Chi Shuo insisted on pulling Ye Shaoyang into the Tianheng Squad. Shaoyang was like a sharp sword that could help Chi Shuo break through the situation and make the opponent wary of Tianheng's mid laner. Naturally, Chi Shuo's pressure would be reduced.
Wasn't Captain Chi going to take the wild cores?
Assassin, Thief, King of Fighters, Ninja. Wasn't he going to take all the wild cores he had released?
Many netizens in the bullet screen were doubtful.
However, Chi Shuo still didn't take any wild cores. There was no need for him to play against the team with the worst results in Group B.
Shaoyang could handle it.
In the second game, because Ye Shaoyang's Lord of the Abyss and Illusionist were both banned, Tianheng's lineup around these two mid laners was naturally unable to be used.
What hero would Ye Shaoyang choose?
The netizens were full of anticipation.
The next moment, they saw Ye Shaoyang lock in the mid laner he often used, Sea Goddess. At the same time, Qujiang chose the acceleration support, Blessed Priest. He had used this support in the previous game, and it felt pretty good. The regular season wasn't an overall BP. Used heroes could be used again as long as the opponent didn't ban them.
As soon as this lineup was chosen, Team BOB's coach's head buzzed.
Operations lineup.
Tianheng used this lineup in the S9 playoffs and won a small game against Northern Shepherd.
Sure enough, the jungler chose Fighter. It had a lot of displacement and was fast, so it could be used to carry.
With Tianheng's lineup, Sea Goddess slowed down the opponent, and Blessed Priest gave acceleration to the teammates. The effect was that I ran faster, and you ran slower. We just had to speed up and break your three lanes.
The difference between strong teams and weak teams was often in operation.
Many weak teams in the league looked fierce when they were fighting, but they often won the team battle but couldn't end the game. They were often overturned. In the end, it was because they had a poor understanding of lane operations.
The team with the best operations was the Korean team. Coach Lin tested the operation lineup in the regular season today. He also wanted to see if Tianheng's operations could be played well after Shaoyang's mid laner was replaced.
After all, Shaoyang's style leaned towards sharpness. He liked to use magic to break the opponent. Qujiang was better at this kind of control-type mage.
Dragging the rhythm and slowly leading the lane was a great test of the players' patience. The game just now was too smooth, so Coach Lin wanted to cool everyone down.
It turned out that …
Ye Shaoyang could control the opponent to death when he played this kind of control-type mage!
When he played with magic, he would suddenly come out and instakill you, making the opponent gnash their teeth in hatred.
When he played as a control-type mage, he would throw a slow spell at your feet. You couldn't catch up to him, and he would kite you from a distance. It was especially annoying.
Team BOB's players were kited by continuous water slowing spells. Finally, they couldn't take it anymore!
So, 10 minutes into the game, Team BOB's five players suddenly came to the middle lane to kill Ye Shaoyang!
The top laner flashed over and stunned Ye Shaoyang. The jungler rushed under the tower and used a combination of punches. The mid laner and archer attacked from a distance. With the power of five people, they finally instakilled Ye Shaoyang!
Ye Shaoyang: "…"
Thank you. I'm a fragile mid laner. You used so many skills to kill me?
There's no need, right?
The netizens in the broadcast room were about to die of laughter.
Yangyang's supreme VIP treatment included: Coach Lin consecutively killed two mid laners; the opposing team's five players ganged up to kill the mid laner.
Hahahaha, the one who enjoyed this treatment before was Chi Shuo?
This season, a great demon king appeared in Tianheng's mid lane. Shouldn't they focus on the mid lane?
I don't know why, but I wanted to laugh when I saw Yangyang being killed by five people. I'm obviously his fan.
Five people ganging up to fight a boss?
Xie Xiaotian, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh: "Our team 2 was also like this before. Sigh, Brother Yang's playing style can easily leave a psychological shadow on people!"
Yan Bin deeply agreed: "That's right, it's too infuriating."
In the first game, he wandered around the map and killed Team BOB's players a total of 12 times!
Team BOB's players had already accumulated a bellyful of anger. In the second game, he used Sea Goddess to slow them down. How could they tolerate this?
They couldn't help it!
In the mid lane, Team BOB's five players ganged up to kill Ye Shaoyang and sent him home.
Qin Yizhu quickly filled in the mid lane to guard the tower, while Chi Shuo took the minions and stole the top tower.
Tianheng's operating level was far superior to their opponents. Under Chi Shuo's command, they split up into three groups and pushed forward. Team BOB's three outer towers were quickly destroyed, and the resources in the jungle could not be defended.
In the crucial wave of dragon, Team BOB's five players still wanted to kill Ye Shaoyang. In the end, the moment the opposing jungler rushed over, Ye Shaoyang flashed over the wall and threw a big move behind him.
A large area of water was placed under his feet, causing Team BOB's five players to collectively slow down!
His teammates immediately followed up with crowd control. Cheng Xing very comfortably hid in the distance and dealt damage. Team BOB's five players were wiped out.
Although they lasted for 20 minutes in the second game, they ultimately lost as expected.
Team BOB's captain sighed and said, "Tianheng seems to be able to enter Group S. We really can't beat them." "In the past, when we played against Tianheng, we knew to target their jungle. But this season, Tianheng's mid lane is very strong, and their tactics have completely changed."
At this time, the coaches of the other teams in Group B who were watching the live broadcast were all having headaches.
What would they do when they encountered Tianheng?
Would they be able to eliminate both the Lord of the Abyss and the Illusionist? However, Ye Shaoyang's control type mage was as good as Qujiang's. He could integrate himself into Tianheng's operating system and drag out the opponent's death.
Ye Shaoyang alone had eight heroes who had obtained the national server's standard.
Moreover, some of the strong heroes who trained in private must have hidden treasures!
Ban the mid laner?
Chi Shuo's jungler was released.
Ban the jungler?
Ye Shaoyang's Lord of the Abyss and Illusionist's mid laner were not easy to deal with.
The coaches in Group B had the same idea at the same time. Could they ban Ye Shaoyang?
