LOL: The world’s best red-temperature mid laner!

Among the remaining LPL teams, JDG, BLG, FPX, and NIP are competing fiercely for the top five positions.

The first place naturally belongs to TES, and the gap between the remaining four is not completely widened.

It was March. On this day, TES was training normally. Suddenly, coach Zhanma came in and brought good news:

"Everyone, the first version of last year's champion skin has been released. Please take a look at it first. If you have any questions, please report them to me and I will report them to Riot Games."

So the TES members got the demonstration videos of their respective skins from Zhanma, and everyone started to get busy.

Of course, not everyone is busy. 369 looked at everyone and could only express envy, after all, he didn't come last year.

Lu Yi opened the demonstration video of his champion skin, EDG-Yongen!

This Yongen is in black and white, and EDG's team logo is black and white. It is probably to adapt to the color of the team logo.

Lu Yi suddenly felt that this Yongen had a bit of the feel of an ink painting, full of Chinese elements!
You know what, this punch is really well done.

The past dozen or so champion skins have not been "localized".

In other words, no matter which country your club is from, Riot Games will design skins according to their own ideas, and players can provide some suggestions on actions, such as recalling actions and dancing actions.

But the final design style of the skin is mainly decided by Riot itself. Of course, if you are not satisfied with the initial version, you can point it out and Riot will make some modifications.

However, this is the first version, and Lu Yi did not require that there must be Chinese elements. We can only say that Riot has put a lot of effort into it.

Lu Yi continued to observe. The two swords, one white and one black, looked a bit like the Yin-Yang swords.

Then there are the demonstration actions, each skill has its own special effects.

When Yongen attacks, the two swords are used alternately, and the black and white sword energy rises and falls. It feels a bit like a fighting game, and the actions and special effects are very gorgeous.

The changes that Riot has made to the game in recent years have indeed been intended to move it closer to fighting games. The skill designs of new heroes and reworked heroes are more complex and full of operability.

So the champion skin is also designed in this way, which feels reasonable.

"Wow, so handsome? Yi Shen."

Suddenly, Lu Yi heard some noise.

When he turned around, he found 369 standing behind him, his eyes shining.

Lu Yi responded: "Young man, work hard and you will have opportunities in the future."

369 laughed and said, "God Yi, are you just making empty promises for me? I'll eat it then."

As the two were talking, Meiko's voice came: "So handsome, woooooo... so handsome..."

Lu Yi looked back and saw Meiko was watching the demonstration video of the champion skin. He was so engrossed in it that it felt like he was watching a blockbuster movie.

Ah Shui teased, "Tian Ye, how about this champion skin? You are very satisfied with it, right?"

Meiko nodded repeatedly: "Satisfied, very satisfied, as long as it is a champion skin, I am satisfied."

369 stepped forward and said, "For someone like Ah Shui who has several champion skins, I guess he doesn't feel anything anymore."

Ah Shui smiled and said, "How do you know I don't feel anything? It only happens once a year, so even if I take it every year I'll still feel something."

After watching the demonstration video, Lu Yi felt quite satisfied and did not submit any suggestions for revision. However, others did submit several.

Zhanma submitted the modification suggestions to Riot Games, and the next step was to wait.

The spring season continues and enters the second half.

The battle for the top five spots is fierce.

If you can move up one more place, you may have to play one less BO5 in the playoffs. Who wouldn’t want that?
In the end, TES won first place in the regular season, and BLG took second place. Except for the loss to TES, BLG remained undefeated.

Moreover, it can be clearly felt that BLG's running-in is improving rapidly, which is what Lu Yi is most concerned about.

To put it bluntly, the spring season is for training, and the key lies in the team's potential.

The potential shown by BLG is much greater than that of other teams.

The third place is JDG, and the fourth place is FPX. This was something most people did not expect. After all, FPX has undergone a major change and the team is full of newcomers. It was with the help of this group of newcomers that they reached the third place in the regular season.

Fifth place, NIP.

Shan Ji joined NIP and Rookie as teammates.

The record is pretty good, and fifth place is quite competitive in the playoffs.

After the regular season ends, the playoff matchups will be announced.

The playoffs continue to use the double-elimination system, with a total of 12 BO5s to be played, numbered G1 to G12.

TES only needs to wait for the team behind to come up in G7.

If everything goes well, if we win all three BO5s, we can win the Spring Championship.

It’s the end of March and the playoffs begin.

Everyone in TES is paying close attention to the situation in the playoffs.

If the regular season is considered as training, then the playoffs are the real battlefield.

Everything we learned during the regular season must be put on display.

This is also a good opportunity to observe and learn.

The first four BO5s did not have many highlights.

G5, NIP vs. FPX.

The winner will be TES's opponent in G7, so TES will be the focus of observation.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon and everyone in TES gathered in the conference room.

The screen showed the scene of the LPL playoffs. The game was about to begin and the audience seats were packed.

Zhan Ma said, "Everyone watch today's game carefully. It will be of great help to our performance in the next BO5."

Meiko muttered, "Isn't Shan Ji in NIP? If they win, won't we have to fight them?"

Ah Shui responded: "It's okay. When Shan Ji was here, he was scared to death every time he played against JDG. He couldn't beat 69."

369's mouth corners suddenly turned up, and he was obviously happy.

However, Ah Shui said this on purpose, just to tease 369: "69, if you want to laugh, laugh out loud, don't hold it in."

369 Pretend nothing happened.

Meiko added: "By the way, the new jungler of FPX, his name is Yinhe. I heard he is very strong. He has made an indelible contribution to FPX's success."

369 said: "The jungler has a big impact on the top laner."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became subtle.

This is indeed common sense, the top lane is the lane most affected by the jungler.

There is a support providing vision in the bottom lane, and with two people's eyes as a guarantee, it is indeed not so easy to be ganked.

The mid lane minion line is very short, and in the current version, the mid lane laning is not as intense as before. Now the comparison is about who pushes the minion line faster.

Moreover, the support will run to the middle lane from time to time to help solve problems, so the middle lane is greatly affected by the jungler.

Only the top lane feels a bit isolated and helpless, and the online competition is fierce, so it depends a lot on the jungler's mood.

Everyone looked at Xiaotian, and Xiaotian said, "This Yinhe is quite daring, but I am not optimistic about his performance in the playoffs. He is too young. Generally, young people, especially junglers, will suffer in the playoffs."

Lu Yi smiled: "Is this based on your experience?"

Xiaotian did not hide the fact: "I have paid a lot of tuition fees before. The junglers in the playoffs are more skilled than each other, and they have many routines. It is easy to suffer a big loss in the first time." "FPX's opponent is NIP, who has many veterans in the team and must have many routines."

At this moment, Lu Yi's phone rang. He opened it and found that it was a message from Shan Ji:
"Yishen, I'm about to go on the court. Please bless me to win today's game and meet you guys!"

Lu Yi responded: "Come on!"

In fact, Lu Yi is not very optimistic about FPX. Young teams generally tend to perform well in the regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs, they have to start paying the tuition.

This has happened many times in the league's history.

A moment later, the players from both teams came on stage, and the director gave a close-up of Shan Ji.

Meiko joked: "This is the treatment of the champion top laner, and there are close-up shots."

The next close-up is of Rooke.

Zhan Ma said with emotion: "We have provided a lot of talents to LPL, all of them are S-League champion-level talents."

After hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

It was obvious that he had some thoughts about this, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Is he really a talent?

The player who wins the championship, apart from other things, must be very expensive.

But whether it is worth the money is hard to say.

The players from both sides are in place, the first game begins, and the BP stage begins.

Everyone is paying close attention to the top lane, after all, Shan Ji is an old teammate.

In the first game, Shan Ji got the crocodile, and the opponent was Quesanti.

Meiko muttered, "It seems that Shanji has never been very confident about his Quesanti. He still doesn't dare to take it."

Ah Shui responded: "I guess he hasn't practiced it yet, who knows."

Rookie began to show his suppression power in the middle lane, with Fox suppressing the opponent's Tsar.

369 asked: "Is it really that easy for Fox to fight against Tsar? The difference is more than ten swords."

Everyone looked at Lu Yi for an answer.

Lu Yi responded: "It's not that easy to beat. The Tsar will have no problem if he develops normally. Of course, it depends on the technique. The player's strength determines the upper limit of the hero."

Meiko translated: "It means the difference in the players' laning abilities."

Soon, NIP took control of the rhythm in the middle lane, using the advantage of Fox to fight a small team battle in the middle lane and won a great victory.

Then they started snowballing and beat the opponent step by step.

Shan Ji also has an advantage of more than ten hits in the top lane.

Xiaotian joked: "As expected of the champion top laner, Shan Ji showed the style of a champion top laner, it's worth every penny!"

The first game was a crushing victory. After 20 minutes, NIP was leading by 7,000 economy. Except for the support, everyone else had a bounty, and they were ahead in all aspects.

In the end, NIP won easily.

Meiko analyzed: "You know what, the veterans have an obvious advantage in the playoffs. In the regular season, FPX was much better than NIP, but they were beaten in the playoffs."

369 was more cautious: "It's hard to say, it's only the first game, let's see what happens next time."

After the first game, Lu Yi soon received another message from Shan Ji: "God Yi, we won! A good start, thank you God Yi for your blessing."

Lu Yi responded: "You played well, Shan Ji. We are under a lot of pressure now."

Shan Ji: "Yishen, you must be kidding me. How can I put pressure on you?"

Lu Yi: "Really, you believe me."

Lu Yi was of course joking, after all, this was only the first game.

A moment later, the second game began and players from both teams returned to the court again.

In this game, FPX was on the blue side and NIP was on the red side.

During the BP stage, FPX deliberately released Quesanti, but did not choose Shan Ji.

In the end, Shan Ji got Udyr, and FPX chose Gnar in the top lane.

Meiko laughed: "When he arrived at NIP, no one would clean up Shan Ji's mess. If it was in our Top Esports, we could give Quesang to Yi Shen to play with."

Ah Shui replied: "Actually this is not a good thing, because there is a way out, so Shan Ji feels that it doesn't matter if he doesn't practice. If we push him a little, maybe he will be able to practice it."

Xiaotian teased, "You mean, God Yi harmed Shan Ji?"

Ah Shui quickly said: "This is what you said, I didn't say that."

In this game, Rookie got Tsar, while NIP mid laner Care chose Dragon King!

Seeing the hero Dragon King, Ah Shui muttered, "Dragon King? Does anyone play this hero? I don't think I've ever seen other teams play this hero before."

Lu Yi shook his head: "Not many people play this version. The Dragon King was too late when it was reworked, and its combat effectiveness was very weak in the early stages. Of course, in this game, NIP's mid laner is the Tsar, which is also a slow-paced lineup. It's not impossible to choose the Dragon King."

Entering the game, the pace of this game was indeed much slower than the previous one, as both sides were developing.

Five minutes into the game, Shan Ji suddenly does something big!
When the FPX jungler was in the upper jungle, Shan Ji ran behind the opposite tower to cut off the minion line, but was hit by the jungler and lost the first blood.

Xiaotian was dumbfounded. "Ah? What is Shanji doing? If you want to cut off the minion line, you have to make sure the opponent's jungler is not blind, right? If the opponent's jungler is there, wouldn't that just be giving away kills?"

Lu Yi guessed: "I think he miscalculated the position of the opponent's jungler."

Ah Shui smiled: "I tried to pretend to be an expert, but failed."

After tasting the sweetness in the top lane, FPX started to fight crazily in the top lane. After all, the top lane has the advantage, and fighting in the advantage lane is easy to win as long as there are enough people.

Meiko complained: "It's over. It feels like NIP is going to be breached from the top lane. Sure enough, the opponent put Quesanti and didn't pick Shan Ji, allowing the opponent to find out his strengths and weaknesses."

After milkyway's Lee Sin gained strength in the top lane, he began to look for breakthroughs in other lanes.

Xiaotian analyzed: "The blind monk is so fat, as long as there is no problem with his operation, he can kill wherever he goes, and no one can stop him."

"The top laner is raising his father, and he is not raising the opponent's top laner, but raising the opponent's jungler."

After his teammates were about to collapse, Rookie stepped up!

Rookie's Tsar began to roam frequently, setting the pace crazily and helping his teammates fight back some disadvantages.

On the other hand, the Dragon King transformed into an earthbound spirit and frantically cleared the minion line in the middle lane.

Lu Yi suddenly said: "After the Dragon King was reworked, although the E skill seems to be able to cross the terrain and provide quick support, the speed of pushing the troops is slow and the laning ability is poor. In fact, there is no chance to provide support."

Meiko commented: "I feel like I have become something else. I remember that the previous Dragon King was a good support player."

However, milkyway's Lee Sin is still killing, and as a jungler, he has more opportunities to do things than the mid laner.

This game suddenly turned into a competition between Lee Sin and Tsar to see who had a better rhythm. There were people invisible on both sides, one was the mid laner and the other was the jungler.

Xiaotian analyzed: "FPX now has eight kills, and five of them are on Lee Sin. It's quite dangerous."

"It's good in the early and middle stages, but in the late stages, it's like wasting a lot of money, which is troublesome, so we need to fight quickly and make a quick decision."

At nineteen minutes, in a team fight for the little dragon, NIP suddenly started a team fight targeting Lee Sin.

Just when everyone thought that Lee Sin was going to be killed instantly and FPX was about to be defeated in the team battle.

The blind monk kicked the man away and strung the gourd together. Not only did he survive, but he also took countless skills and helped his teammates create an extremely good output environment! (End of this chapter)
