On the night of March 25th, Ye Shaoyang logged on to Weibo and found that there were tens of thousands of birthday wishes in his private messages and comments section. His registration information had been submitted to the officials, so Weibo would display his birthday.
Some fans had also made some promotional videos for him. They had cut out all the clips of Ye Shaoyang killing people in the five matches in Group B. They had also added some hot-blooded music and the title "Mid Laner Demon King" … The video often showed three or five kills, and it really looked like the Demon King was bullying children.
Happy birthday to our Demon King Lieyang!
I'm very happy to have met Yangyang in this year's league. You're my favorite professional player ^ _ ^
Happy birthday, Yangyang. Remember this day, and we'll celebrate your birthdays with you in the future. Good luck!
The rookie's performance is so good. I believe you can make history!
Ye Shaoyang looked at the fans in the comments section and felt warm inside. He used his new phone to send a message: "Thank you, everyone, for your birthday wishes. The happiest thing this year was joining Tianheng, becoming a professional player, and getting to know all of you. I'll continue to work hard in the new year and strive not to disappoint everyone's expectations of me ^ _ ^ "
As soon as this message was sent, countless fans immediately left messages wishing him a happy birthday.
The topic # Happy Tianheng Lieyang Birthday # quickly became a trending topic.
Chi Shuo immediately reposted his Weibo: "Happy birthday. We're also very happy to have you in Tianheng. "
As a result, Chi Shuo's fans also knew that it was Ye Shaoyang's birthday today, and they all ran over to send their blessings.
Many netizens sent gifts to Ye Shaoyang in the live stream. Whale Streaming's Big Bro Little Wei and Big Bro Mumu also ran over to send him gifts. Ye Shaoyang's live stream quickly shot to the top of the gift list.
One was a trending topic, and the other was the top of the gift list. This birthday was really impressive!
At the same time, # Sunmoon Shining Together # Superforum.
Some sharp-eyed sisters saw Ye Shaoyang's new Weibo post change their phones, and Chi Shuo's new Weibo post change their phones. They immediately took a screenshot and posted it in the topic area.
Yangyang and Yue Yue changed their phones at the same time!
Everyone clicked on it to take a look. Indeed, when Ye Shaoyang posted on Weibo yesterday, the message in the bottom left corner was still "From TC-X30." This was a very popular cell phone from two years ago, and its price was within 5,000 yuan. However, when he posted on Weibo today, the bottom left corner was "from HM-V40 pro soft gold."
Chi Shuo was the same. A few days ago, his phone was still the flagship model from last year. Today, when he reposted Ye Shaoyang's Weibo, his phone changed to "From HM-V40 Pro Quicksand Silver."
F * ck! This phone costs 25,000 yuan, right? Is it HM's latest foldable phone?
Both of them changed their phones at the same time. Could it be that HM sponsored the Tianhuan Squad?
Sister above, that's definitely not the case. Look, Fire and Water and Star have also reposted their Weibo posts. Their phones haven't changed. Only Yue Yue and Yangyang's phones have changed.
Could it be Yueyue's birthday present for Yangyang?
That's possible!
Yangyang used a passionate gold color, while Yueyue used a low-key silver color. They were a couple's phone, a perfect match!
Ahh, a couple's phone. So sweet, I'm going to eat it!
The CP fans liked to take the sweet out of the details. Anyway, everyone was just trying to be cute. As long as they didn't harass the main characters, no one would care about them. Jing Zhe Team also had the "Land of the Square Circle" CP fans who liked Fang Fang and Yuan Yuan, but no one cared about them either.
The CP fans were the first to discover that Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo had changed their phones at the same time.
At lunchtime the next day, the teammates also discovered it.
When Cheng Xing saw Ye Shaoyang take out a new phone, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yang, you changed your phone? This phone must be very expensive, right? I remember that it costs more than 10,000 yuan. "
Chi Shuo was also sitting next to them. When he heard this, he whispered, "I went to buy it with Shaoyang."
He didn't say that it was a birthday present. After all, he had given Ye Shaoyang tens of thousands of yuan, while the other teammates had given him small souvenirs that were worth hundreds or thousands of yuan.
The most important thing about a birthday present was the thought. There was no need to compare.
Shaoyang only needed to keep it to himself.
Ye Shaoyang glanced at Chi Shuo and immediately understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "A few days ago, my phone was knocked to the ground by Xiao Bai and the screen was broken. Since Captain Chi also needed a new phone, we went to buy a new one."
The other teammates also came over to study their phones.
Old Qin sighed. "I can't bear to part with such an expensive phone. I've already used mine for four years."
Qujiang teased him. "You're already living a retirement life in advance. An old phone is enough."
Old Qin scratched his head. "What's wrong with saving for retirement!"
He was usually very frugal, but he never treated himself badly when it came to food. He bought snacks by the box.
At this moment, Coach Lin Feng walked over.
Everyone's phones rang at the same time, indicating that they had received a group message. Lin Feng sat at the table with a tray in his hand. He looked at everyone and said, "The league's schedule is out. I've sent it to the group. Everyone, take a look."
The second stage of the competition officially began on April 4 and ended on May 7.
The competition schedule was even tighter than the first round. None of the big teams had a bye week. Thursday to Sunday were the competition days, and there would be three matches on the weekend. After the group matches were over in five weeks, the final round would be the elimination round.
The schedule for Tianheng in Group A gave Lin Feng a headache.
April 4, Sunday, 19: 00 pm, Tianheng VS Yueying.
April 10, Saturday, 15: 00 pm, Tianheng VS SCYC.
April 17, Saturday, 15: 00 pm, Tianheng VS Jixuan.
April 24, Saturday, 15: 00 pm, Tianheng VS Blood Eagle.
May 2, Sunday, 19: 00 pm, Tianheng VS Luo Divine Hall.
In the week of early May, the second stage of the group matches ended. Tianheng VS Luo Divine Hall's match was the final match. The weekend of May 8 and 9 was the bracket match. After the bracket match ended, Group B would be eliminated. The remaining Group A and Group S would compete in the third round of the playoffs.
Qujiang could not help but complain after reading the schedule, "Our schedule is to fight a BOSS at the beginning. The opponents in the middle are slightly weaker, and then end with a BOSS battle?"
Qin Yizhu gave a thumbs up, "That's a brilliant summary!"
Tianheng's first opponent in Group A was Yueying, and their last opponent was Luo Divine Hall. These two teams were relegated from Group S, and were in the top eight last season. They were indeed worthy of being called the BOSS of Group A.
Fight a BOSS at the beginning, and fight a BOSS at the end?
The league's schedule was clearly not random, but deliberate to increase the suspense.
This was because only two teams in Group A could advance to Group S.
In terms of strength on paper, it was likely that Tianheng, Yueying, and Luo Divine Hall would be chosen.
Cheng Xing noticed another key point, "For this round, our matches are either on Sunday night or Saturday afternoon. There aren't any Thursdays or Fridays, right?"
Coach Lin said, "There are more spectators on the weekend, so of course we have to arrange for highly popular teams to ensure the viewership ratings. Our Tianheng wasn't favored in the beginning, so Group B's matches were scheduled on weekdays. Now, it's different. Our popularity has returned, and our strength has been recognized. It's normal for this round of matches to be on the weekend. "
Tianheng had matches every week, so there was almost no time to rest and adjust.
Under the intense pressure of consecutive matches, the mentality of the players was very important. Sometimes, after losing a match, their mentality would collapse, and it was very likely that they would lose consecutively.
After lunch, everyone rushed to the meeting room for a meeting.
Previously, as their opponents for the next match had not been confirmed, it was difficult for them to do targeted training. They played casually with Team 2's children every day to maintain their feel and competitive state.
Now that their opponents were out, the coaching team had to prepare a lineup to deal with them.
During this period of time, the Tianheng coaching team led by Lin Feng had studied the data and styles of all the opponents in Group A. After confirming that their next opponent would be Yueying, they immediately prepared a lineup.
Lin Feng opened the PowerPoint presentation and said seriously, "Yueying is an old opponent, so everyone should be familiar with them. This season, they changed their members. Xie Weiyu replaced their original marksman after transferring. After our coaching team carefully studied them, we found that their playstyle in Group S in the first stage was different from last season. "
Lin Feng took a few screenshots of Yueying's matches in the first stage and played them on the big screen. He explained to everyone, "Xu Zhuo is the strongest top laner in the Professional League. He is good at tank-type and warrior-type heroes. He can often escape alive in 1v2 or 1v3 situations. He likes to pick heroes with strong survivability to carry the lane and play a crazy game of operation. If the opponent sends two people to catch him, they won't be able to kill him. If they send three people to catch him, then Yueying's head-on team battle will be outnumbered, and it will be easy for the opponent to collapse. "
Lin Feng looked at Chi Shuo. "Captain Chi should be the most clear about this."
Chi Shuo nodded. "Yes, Old Xu is indeed not easy to deal with."
For such an outstanding lane player, if you tried to catch him, you might not be able to kill him. If too many people went, it would be easy for the team to collapse in a head-on team battle. If you didn't catch him … he could directly carry the top laner to victory!
Chi Shuo said, "After Xie Weiyu joined this season, their operation and playstyle has been pushed to the extreme. Xu Zhuo in the top laner will lead the lane, Xie Weiyu and the support will push the tower crazily at the bottom laner, and the mid laner will choose a tool to resist the pressure and roam together with the jungler. "
Lin Feng said, "Based on our analysis of Yueying's five consecutive Group S matches, we found that their level 6 jungler's first wave of roaming has a 70% chance of helping the top laner."
Ye Shaoyang understood. "Yueying is playing around the top laner? The jungler is working together? "
Lin Feng said, "Yes. After all, their top laner is very good. As long as the jungler goes over to help once and kills the opposing top laner to establish an economic advantage, Xu Zhuo will be able to quickly carry the top laner."
"As for the bottom laner, after Xie Weiyu joined, their ability has obviously become stronger. Xie Weiyu is the most cautious archer in the league. So far, Yueying has played 12 matches in Group S, and Xie Weiyu's death count is less than 24. "
This was Group S, a group of world-class players.
Bei Mu had Zhao Xinan, who was quite fierce in the back row, Jing Zhe's Fang Zhengqing, who was very strong in soloing, and Zhou Jiawen, who could insta-kill a low-health archer with a big move from Huo Wen. Under the great threat of so many players, Xie Weiyu's death count was only two per match. For a low-health archer, this was a very good record.
Ye Shaoyang was puzzled. "Yueying's top laner is very strong, and Xie Weiyu's bottom laner is also very strong. How did they get eliminated from Group S?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "This is the key. Their top and bottom laners haven't been working together for a long time, so their tacit understanding isn't enough. The rhythm of their laners hasn't been adjusted well, so it's easy for them to get separated in the team battle. Previously, they lost two crucial team battles in Group S and were ranked fifth, so they were demoted to Group A. "
For the opponents in Group S, Yueying's disconnection in the team battle was indeed fatal.
However, in Group A, Yueying was still very strong, because Tianheng's team battle could also be disconnected!
Cheng Xing and Xie Weiyu would be under a lot of pressure. Qin Yizhu and Xu Zhuo would be under even more pressure. Both the top and bottom laners could be suppressed … Lin Feng looked at Ye Shaoyang. "For Yueying, our coaching team's idea is for the mid laners to work together and use the mid lane as a breakthrough point!"
Ye Shaoyang also had the same idea. Quickly breaking through the mid lane, freeing up the mid laner, and making use of the mid laner's agility to support the top and bottom laners to reduce the pressure on their teammates. This was the best way.
If the mid laner was restricted, they could only rely on Chi Shuo to support. Chi Shuo and Qin Yizhu would team up to fight Xu Zhuo, and Xu Zhuo would summon his own jungler to help. In a 2v2, they might not be able to defeat Xu Zhuo.
However, with Ye Shaoyang and the opposing mid laner, they might not be able to defeat Xu Zhuo in a 3v3.
Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang and said in a low voice, "Xu Zhuo is the most difficult top laner to kill in the entire Alliance. We might not be able to kill him, but we just need to defeat him and prevent him from leading freely."
Ye Shaoyang nodded and said, "Understood."
**
At the same time, at Yueying's base.
Xu Zhuo leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to run into an old friend in the first game."
Xie Weiyu was sitting next to him, writing and drawing with his head down. Xie Weiyu would take a notebook with a green cover every time he had a meeting and take notes on it. He was as focused as if he was listening to a lecture.
Xu Zhuo turned his head to look at him curiously and found that the boy's handwriting was very neat and tidy. It was as if he had taken down all the key points that the coach had just explained.
Yueying's coach said, "Tianheng this season is different from before. In the past, when we played against Tianheng, we would invade the jungle like crazy and suppress Chi Shuo's development. However, Chi Shuo did not use the jungler this season. He used a tool to protect the mid laner. Their core this season is the mid laner. Therefore, after discussion, the coaching team has decided that in the game against Tianheng — "
"We will go all out to destroy the mid laner!"
