The championship skin matter has come to an end, the spring split continues, and the rotation of everyone in EDG is not over yet.
At the same time, Su Mo has helped Rita contact the manufacturer, and they will get 500,000 sets first!
This can reduce the cost a lot. Rita is worried about not being able to sell out. Su Mo’s idea is that if he can’t sell out, he can give it away. He usually gives gifts during live broadcasts.
There are also various post-match activities, and the most important thing is to get word of mouth out first.
As the spring season enters the second half, the starting lineups of major clubs tend to be stable.
Especially teams that are struggling on the edge of the playoffs must stabilize, otherwise they may not be able to enter the playoffs.
As for EDG, it has not stabilized yet. On the one hand, the top lane does not need to be stable. Su Mo usually has other things to do, so most of the time Ray is allowed to play.
As the schedule comes to an end, the rankings gradually become clear. EDG fluctuates between fourth and fifth place.
This is what most viewers did not expect. The competition pressure in LPL this season will be so great!
For fans of EDG, they are worried, but for fans of LPL, this seems to be a good thing. The competition in the region is strong, and the results will be good in international competitions.
Time comes to April, the regular season is over, and the ranking has stabilized.
FPX currently ranks first.
The second place is IG, the third place is TOP, and the fourth place is EDG.
The fifth place RNG, the sixth place WE, the seventh place SDG, the eighth place JDG.
Because only the top eight teams can enter the playoffs, most viewers mainly focus on the first eight teams.
The playoff schedule is now out. As the fourth-placed EDG, they need to start from the second round and move up.
Everyone was resting in the training room at the EDG training base. Abramovich strode in and greeted:
"The playoffs are about to start. We are going to start from the second round, so hurry up and train. The boss is very dissatisfied with our results in the regular season."
"Now I can still say that the regular season is for training and prevarication. If we don't perform well in the playoffs, we will all be scolded."
The factory director muttered: "The LPL competition is so stressful this year. What's going on? I thought we were at least the top two, but we ended up fourth."
Meiko recalled: "Last year, it felt like it was mainly RNG and IG, and other teams. Wu is not very good, this year there are two strong teams, FPX and TOP. "
"By the way, the TOP mid laner Knight9 seems to have something. I think the data in the mid lane position is very high, and he has a lot of solo kills."
The director looked at Scout: "What do you think of this Knight9? I heard that he still uses his left hand to hold the mouse, and he is left-handed."
Scout responded: "Very strong."
Although there are only two words, it can be seen that Scout recognizes Knight9, and ordinary mid laners will never get this kind of evaluation.
"Where's their top laner, 369? It seems to be quite powerful." Meiko continued to ask.
Everyone looked at Su Mo. This question was naturally answered by the top orderer.
Su Mo went to Ray: "What do you think of 369? It's very strong."
"This..." Ray seemed a little hesitant.
After thinking for a long time, he said: "I think in the top lane position, apart from Brother Mozi, the more powerful players in the LPL now should be Thegoon and Flandre, and 369 should be ranked behind them."
"Of course, this is my personal opinion."
The director muttered: "Don't mention it, there are a lot of powerful top laners in LPL now. If you include Xiao Mo, there are already five."
Meiko said: "It's normal, because Brother Mo Zi, we haven't always said before that the LCK mid laner is great because of Faker, who has raised the overall level of the mid laner."
"Now that we have Brother Mo Zi, the level of top laners in LPL has naturally been raised."
Su Mo looked at the factory director: "Where is the jungle? What's going on with the jungle in our division? Champion jungler, you have the responsibility.”
What happened to the junglers in our division? They are all very good. Besides me, there is also that kid Kar, and...Jiejie..."
Su Mo smiled: "If you can't count, don't count."
Abu greeted: "Continue training, hurry up."
A week passed quickly, and we were at the LPL game.
At the commentary table, remember, Wang Duoduo and Rita are ready.
Wang Duoduo commented: "Welcome to the playoffs of the 2019 League of Legends Professional League Spring Split. Today is the second round of the playoffs."
"The opponents are EDG and WE!"
Remember to answer: "The intensity of LPL in this spring split is full. Who would have thought that EDG would only be fourth in the regular season, which is rare in history."
Rita agreed: "Yes, but the regular season is different from the playoffs. The regular season is more beneficial to newcomers. The playoffs depend on the team's foundation and test the player's hero pool and tactical reserves." Brother Zi will appear! "
The audience has started to get excited: "Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi!"
In the backstage player channel, everyone from EDG and WE are waiting to appear. The two teams are lined up a few meters apart.
957 greeted him: "Hello, Brother Mozi, you must be on the road today."
Su Mo nodded: "Well, see you on the road."
957 suddenly begged: "Brother Mo Zi, if it really doesn't work, go find another way. I really can't bear it, you're too fierce."
Su Mo smiled: "It's okay, we will grow slowly on the road, there is no rush."
957 looked doubtful: "Really? I feel like you are teasing me."
Su Mo looked serious: "Really! I won't lie to you! It's true!"
However, 957 was sure that Su Mo was just teasing him.
Su Mo noticed a young man standing behind 957, WE's new jungler, Beishang.
This man was also observing Su Mo and did not show much fear.
Beishang's performance in the regular season seems to be pretty good. Although he is a newcomer, his playing style is relatively mature, and he can occasionally have fantastic ideas and take surprise shots.
On the stage, Luo Xin came on stage and after a simple opening speech, he invited players from both sides to come on stage:
"Now, let us welcome both sides, first of all, WE!"
"Top laner, 957!"
" Wild, Beishang! ‖
―Mid laner, Xiye.‖
―ADC, Mysitc.‖
―We all appear one by one.
There were also many WE fans at the scene: "WE! WE!"
Luo Xin continued: "Now, let us welcome the legendary double champion EDG!"
"Top laner, Mo!"
The enthusiasm of the audience was completely ignited: "Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi!"
Su Mo appeared on the stage and accepted the cheers of the audience.
"Jungle, Jiejie!"
"Mid laner, Scout!"
"ADC, Iboy!"
"Support, Meiko!"
Five EDG players appeared one after another, standing in the middle of the stage.
After both teams appeared on the stage, they shook hands, turned around, and walked towards their respective positions.
Rita commented: "I feel that the mental state of both teams is very good. Needless to say EDG, Brother Mozi is always so confident."
Wang Duoduo joked: "Why did you mention only one Brother Mozi? Where are the others?"
Remember to pick up the answer? He said: "I guess I just noticed Brother Mo Zi, and everyone else happened to be there by the way."
Rita said quickly: "The others are also pretty good, full of energy and high morale!"
The players from both sides are ready to enter the BP session of the first game.
In this game, EDG is on the red side and WE is on the blue side.
BAN status:
EDG: Olaf, Kalista, Kasumi
WE: Prince, Zoe, Enchantress
Wang Duoduo analyzed: "As a new player, Jiejie's progress is obvious to all. His prince has now shown value. Generally, when he comes on the court, he will choose to ban the prince."
Rita agreed: "Yes, he can occupy a place in the EDG team. It is not easy to get a BAN position. This time, WE did not have a BAN on the road. I think it was too many, and there was no point in having a few BANs. "
"WE is mainly targeting the bottom lane, and Mystic's strength is still strong."
Entering the hero selection stage.
WE on the blue side got Galio on the first floor.
Rita analyzed: "This version of Galio can be played in the middle or as a support. It's a little bit swingy, so it's no problem to take it out first."
"Furthermore, EDG's linkage is very powerful. It will probably be difficult for EDG to get Galio WE, so grab it first."
EDG got Lissandra and Xin Zhao on the first and second floors.
Wang Duoduo explained: "This midfielder combination has a strong early rhythm ability, and it is very early. This game is probably fast-paced."
WE got Lucian and Niutou on the second and third floors.
EDG got Morgana on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.
EDG banned Urgot and Sion.
WE added Jayce and Akali.
Rita expressed a little disappointment: "I originally thought that Brother Mozi would have a chance to use Akali in this game and see his champion skin with my own eyes, but I didn't expect to be banned by the opponent." Yes, although there are many heroes that are easy to beat Akali in the lane. "
"But this hero is too threatening to the back row. We haven't developed a lineup that is not afraid of Akali yet, so we can only ban it."
EDG got the EZ on the fourth floor.
When I saw this scene, I remember feeling a little strange: "EZ? Does EZ still need Morgana? I feel that facing the Taurus, EZ is enough to keep the E skill, and choosing Morgana is completely redundant."
Rita has a different view: "EDG's support is not necessarily chosen for the ADC, have you forgotten this."
Hearing this, remember to understand: "Then I understand, hahaha."
WE got Kennen and Lee Sin on the fourth and fifth floors.
Only the fifth floor of EDG has no choice.
Suddenly, EDG showed a hero that many people were unfamiliar with, and then locked it!
Wang Duoduo exclaimed: "Silas the Liberator is another new hero! Audiences who don't pay much attention to the regular season may not know that Silas the Liberator is a hero released at the beginning of this year."
“But because his mechanism is very special and there are many bugs, he has always been banned in the regular season. The default BAN is not allowed to be used. Now it is unblocked in the playoffs!”
Rita continued: "Yes, if I remember correctly, this should be the first time Silas has logged into the professional league, and it's Brother Mozi again! It's him again!"
The two sides began to adjust their respective line situations, and Silas was replaced by Su Mo on the top lane.
Soon, the lineup was determined:
Red side EDG: top laner Syras, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Lissandra, ADCEZ, assistant Morgana
Blue side WE: top laner Kennen, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Galio, ADC Lucian, auxiliary Taurus
The popularity of the official live broadcast room began to skyrocket:
"Hurry up and call someone, Brother Mozi is here, and he is playing a new hero!"
Hand in hand, Brother Mozi, is he so handsome?"
Hence "Watch it carefully, study hard, and take good notes."
h "I really can't play this hero, it feels too complicated."
Enter the game screen, Su Mo tastes Try to communicate with the system:
"Maximize Sylas's proficiency for me."
"Consume one Ultimate Proficiency card to increase the proficiency of Silas, the Liberator to the full level."
Jiejie starts to lead the rhythm:
"Wait for level 6, develop the bottom lane first, and play the upper half ahead."
Meiko responded: "Don't worry, we just stay in the bottom lane and develop."
IBoy said: "I haven't played a game for a long time, I'm a bit rusty."
At this time, in the EDG lounge, the director, Abramovich, Hope and Ray were watching the game together.
Hope had a long face and seemed very unhappy.
In fact, he is basically the one playing in the regular season, and it is he who takes the initiative to ask for as much training as he wants.
But in view of the poor results in the regular season, Abramovich chose to make substitutions.
The director noticed Hope's mood and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future."
However, Hope didn't appreciate it.
Abu said: "There are new heroes this time. They are all good to watch and learn from, hahaha."
The director's camera showed Su Mo, who was standing guard in the river. The first wave of troops came out and returned to the line.
The top lane is short-handed versus long-hand. I personally feel that it is not very easy to play. Kennan is a hero who not only has long hands, but also has his own control and is more flexible. "
Wang Duoduo agreed. : "That's right, 957 is a very good player. How can Brother Mo Zi gain an advantage?"
Although he faced Su Mo, 957 did not hide behind and tremble. He came up to put pressure on him at the first level, trying to tie A and consume.
Su Mo can also use Kennen's A for last-ditch damage, but as long as he doesn't hit the Q skill, it's fine.
Then while Kennen was finishing his last strike, Su Mo suddenly used his Q skill and hit!
This Q skill has two stages of damage. The first stage does not have high damage but has slowdown. The second stage has high damage but has delay and may not be successful.
This Q skill hit the target. After slowing down, Kennen was unable to get out of the range for the first time. He hit the second wave of damage and lost a lot of health.
I remember exclaiming: "This Q hurts so much! As expected of a new hero, it is indeed unique in terms of numerical values, but this skill is not directional, and the distance is limited. Once 957 gets used to it, it shouldn't be a big problem."
In the middle, Scout's Lissandra faced off against Xiye Galio.
The battle in the bottom lane is very fierce. Meiko's Morgana relies on her long hands to constantly consume the bull head.
Huntou can't do anything. After all, he is only level one and can't do much.
“It’s so cool! Make money like crazy!” Meiko was smug.
Suddenly, something he didn't expect happened!
The Niutou level 1 Q flash knocked him away!
Although it is level one now, it will soon be level two. Lucian is on the clearing line.
Huntou walked behind Morgana and pushed her back with a W skill.
Wang Duoduo explained: "What a show of Niutou! This wave of WE bottom lane coordination is simply amazing. Lucian and the output, Niutou is ignited."
“Morgana fired her Q skill, but Lucian dodged it. This flash seemed unnecessary, and Lucian took the head.” level, if we wait until level 2 to start, Meiko will definitely be on guard. "
"I forgot to introduce you just now, Missing is also a new player, WE's current starting support, very strong, the best among the new generation of support."
