Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 400: Yu Wenbo, the hero of Blue Rain's championship (Part 8000) ( words supplement)
"Brother Shuizi has suffered a loss."

While the fierce battle was going on in China, thousands of miles away in North America, LA.

It is already evening here in China, but it is early morning in North America. Judging from the working and sleeping schedule of e-sports players, they should have just finished playing rank games and gone to bed at this time.

But in a villa converted into a training base, several Asian boys had already gotten up and gathered around a big TV, watching the fight between dragons and tigers happening thousands of miles away.

One of them, who looked particularly strong among the bunch of skinny dogs and whose eyes were squinting from obesity, spoke out loud and pointed at the TV screen and made sharp comments.

(Well, since Brother Bin next door has gone home to fish, it’s time to see what Brother Bin here is doing.)
"I don't know why, but it seemed like he suddenly became afraid to fight, even though he was playing well in the first game."

The smiling boy with round-framed glasses asked his question hesitantly.

He is considered a relatively famous player in LCS, but due to his own style, his performance has not been very stable.

But Yu Wenbo's level of instability still made him confused.

"I don't mean to distrust Wenbo, but I always feel that it might be better to let Senior Mu Cheng continue to play in the third game."

The handsome young man, who was vaguely surrounded by several other young men, frowned slightly.

"Coach, what do you think?" He turned his head and looked at a gentle man in his thirties sitting on the sofa.

"From a tactical point of view, it is true. Mu Cheng should not have been eliminated."

Wu Xuefeng watched the TV intently and nodded in agreement with Qiu Fei's point of view.

"Then why is that..." Qiu Fei frowned even more tightly.

Just at this moment, the camera on TV cut to a close-up of the player and happened to cut to Ye Xiu's face.

Looking at the slightly furrowed brows and slightly drooped mouth corners of the long-lost guy, Wu Xuefeng seemed to be thinking about something.

"Perhaps they were... tricked by their opponents."

As the first vice-captain of Happy and the second-in-command with the highest achievements during the Glory era, he had some understanding of the mentality of those players who had worked hard in Glory for many years.

In fact, the behaviors of the players of the two games and the development and operation styles of the two leagues are surprisingly similar.

The development of Honor is terrible, and the rules of the game itself are simple. As long as you can kill your opponent, you can do anything on the map.

The operation is relatively relaxed due to the times and mindset, without too many restrictive clauses and many loopholes that can be exploited.

In addition, the e-sports industry is highly related to the online gaming industry, and the online gaming industry needs to compete for resources and manpower,
Therefore, the players on Glory's side, especially the captains of each team, are not only all-round fighters, but also act in a much wilder way.

Simply put, as long as it is conducive to victory, you can do it as long as the law does not prohibit it.

Today, however, the e-sports players who have been trained under the systems of new-generation e-sports games such as League of Legends in various countries have a completely opposite style.

The game rules of League of Legends are very complete in themselves, and are equipped with an extremely advanced anti-cheating and anti-tanking system. Any behavior that takes advantage of loopholes will be severely punished.

The operation of the league is a world away from that of the glory era. It is also extremely perfect and advocates fairness and strength.

Players who grow up in such an environment basically cut off the idea of ​​using tricks from the source, and only know how to compete honestly in the game. At most, they will talk trash before the game to mess with the opponent's mentality.

It was precisely because of this difference in mentality that the young people were completely unable to see the reason behind Happy's substitution. However, Wu Xuefeng, who had been fighting a group of old foxes for three years, could see it clearly:
It must be Blue Rain's doing.

"Really? It's already this day and age, but you're still unwilling to give up the old ideas?" Wu Xuefeng smiled indifferently.

This scene did not seem unfamiliar to him.

After all, when he was still in the Glory League, the captain of Blue Rain was that old man Wei Chen.

This method of adjusting mentality can be said to be passed down from generation to generation.

After taking a look at the comments and checking the domestic news, he was able to guess some of the outlines, so he casually shared his guesses with the young people.

"How despicable!" Peng Lixun, Qian Jue's terminally ill brother who is not yet a trainer, widened his eyes and felt that his three views were refreshed.

"If you ask me, they are just afraid of Brother Shui, Boss Ye, Boss Bao and the others, so they can only resort to petty tricks!"

After arriving in North America, the young boy Abin, who had become fatter due to the high-intensity consumption of various calorie bombs every day, waved his thick arms, looking indignant but eager to try.

"When we return to LPL, we will definitely beat them!"

"Blue Rain is a traditional strong team after all. We still need some more time to develop, right?" Qiu Fei was steady and simply advised his teammate whose confidence was inflated.

"What's there to be afraid of? We almost won the championship this year, even though we're in North America...there's no reason why we should be much weaker than them, right?" Abin said with a confident tone.

Wu Xuefeng listened to the ambitious speeches of the young people, but did not rebuke them. He just turned around and observed this group of young people carefully for the umpteenth time.

They were dressed casually and sat in a carefree manner, with no intention of dressing up at all. With their youthful faces and eyes full of wisdom, they seemed to be just a group of internet-addicted teenagers who could not be more ordinary.

But only the North American LOL players and viewers who have experienced the nightmare that belonged to LCS some time ago can clearly perceive how terrifying these people are.

Even after the MSI championship, other regions have already looked up to LPL.

But they never expected that a team that hadn't even made it to the top league in LPL would almost destroy the entire LCS landscape.

Excellent Era, a team that has been full of controversy since its launch, has had an almost dreamlike journey on the land of North America.

When Excellent Era first arrived in North America, everyone from the regional executives to the general audience were stunned: It turns out that this is how the game can be played?

This is because there are no restrictions on foreign players in North America, and the five players of Jia Shi have no experience of officially entering the LPL. In addition, the North American boss who cooperates with Tao Xuan has some connections of his own.

Therefore, Jia Shi basically encountered no resistance when entering LCS.

However, at that time, even other teams that were in direct competition with Jia Shi, most of them had a friendly attitude towards this substitution.

After all, America has been calling for openness for so many years, and there have been some results. At least the degree of rejection of foreign aid is very low and can basically be ignored.

Therefore, many of them not only did not think that Jia Shi was engaging in unfair competition, but instead thought that the boss was quite a genius.

It doesn't cost much money, nor does it require manpower, material resources, or even favors to be expended, and you don't need to take the risk of going to other strong teams to recruit players.

You only need to go to the strongest division and you can immediately put together a team that is competitive and even has a chance to make the playoffs.

Yes, that's right. At that time, the North American brothers of LCS still evaluated Jia Shi's combat power at the level of "stable relegation, with a little luck in the playoffs". This prediction was also reasonable. After all, Jia Shi was just an LSPL team. Even if it was absolutely killing in the LSPL, it had no experience in the LPL.

If it weren't for the fact that Fanhua represented LPL's dominating performance at MSI, this assessment of "hope for the playoffs" would be somewhat conservative.

However, soon, these colleagues who were already optimistic about Xingxin's future development had their views refreshed by this young team.

This Jia Shi team is a bit young, but other than that, it basically has no other weaknesses.

In terms of competition and training, some of the support personnel recruited by Xingxin in China are combined with some talents recruited locally.

Led by Wu Xuefeng, the duo of Jia Shi Dynasty who would have been given the title of Tactical Master if they hadn't had those messy titles back then, they might not be that good in the LPL, but they are definitely the best in the LCS.

As for the players, if there is no top team in the top league, these five players would definitely be super talents who will enter the LPL.
After finally starting high-intensity battles with top league-level opponents and beginning to make up for their shortcomings in combat experience, they began to grow at an astonishing speed.

From the beginning, they were able to fight hard with teams on the edge of the playoffs, but by the late stage of the regular season, they had already started to fight to the death.

The looks in the eyes of the other bosses when they looked at them also changed from admiration and envy at the beginning to horror and even fear.

At the end of the regular season, Jia Shi had a terrifying record of 22 wins and 9 losses. The two losses were all at the beginning of the summer season, when the team that was on track for the playoffs lost. In the later stages, even top teams like C were unable to gain any advantage from them.

This group of young people full of desire is growing at the speed of light to become a super devil that the entire LCS is afraid of and even terrified of.

When the playoffs started, the traditional strong teams and players of LCS went completely crazy.

If Excellent Era, an outsider, were to be allowed to pass through the LCS, leaving aside things like national sentiment, the value of the LCS's local training and competition teams and players would probably plummet immediately.

After all, the LPL's secondary league teams were able to beat you into such a mess, so why not just go to the LPL to dig out secondary league players.

At least it's cheap.

Therefore, they showed unprecedented unity in dealing with Excellent Era.

They were determined to snipe Jia Shi even at the cost of sharing tactical resources among all the teams.

But even so, Jia Shi still relied on the superb performance of their top, mid and jungle players to advance to the finals.

This wild core version is really a little bit more suitable for xun.

As for Abin, although he is a little young, he is also the prototype of a genuine super top laner.

Coupled with Qiu Fei, who can be regarded as the little Ye Xiu, the sense of oppression in this version is really strong.

It wasn't until the finals, and the deciding game, that C9, which had gathered the experience of all the teams it had met in the previous rounds and had the determination to fight a do-or-die battle, defeated them. In the end, they only took runner-up.

Even so, this Excellent Era team still contributed such famous scenes as the top laner Abin suppressing and beating up North America's No. 1 top laner IMPACT throughout the game.

After the game, the players from the LCS region, who were almost exhausted, breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were filled with uncontrollable fear.

How could Excellent Era be so terrifying...

Suddenly, the awe of LPL in North America increased instead of decreased.

A mere team from the secondary league can force the entire region into such a desperate situation. How unstoppable is the hidden power of the LPL?

This is actually a bit of empiricism on their part.

After all, Excellent Era is essentially not even close to the strength of LSPL. As early as the qualifying stage, they were ranked second in the division and could easily make it into the LPL.

It was only because of the restrictions on teams in the same division that I had to come to the LSPL to fish.

Coupled with the growth over the past year, although the combat effectiveness of this Jia Shi team is not as good as the Big Three, it is almost at the level of a sure playoff in LPL.

Even because they have a super top laner and a super mid laner from their childhood, plus the high compatibility of the version, maybe the upper limit can be raised further.

But who told them to join LCS as an LSPL team? Naturally, the entire LCS made an extremely serious misjudgment of the strength of LPL.

However, these are not within the consideration of Jia Shi itself.

"Coach, do you think Boss Ye and his team can win the championship?" Brother Bin couldn't help but ask as he watched the game situation gradually tilt towards Blue Rain and saw that the third game was about to be lost.

"To be honest, it's a bit difficult." Wu Xuefeng sighed.

After all, there is still a big gap between Xingxin and Blue Rain's trump card reserves.

Psychological warfare is just a microcosm. The real problem is that Blue Rain, which has sufficient time and resources, has conducted a massive amount of research on Happy.

It is precisely because the research is thorough enough that they are able to come up with so many targeted solutions.

How should I put it? Wu Xuefeng's impression of the first three games was that although Xingxin struggled hard and even won a game in the second game,

But the overall rhythm has always been in Blue Rain's hands.

And now, after three games, based on Wu Xuefeng's understanding of Ye Xiu and seeing how hard he was trying on the court, it was obvious that Xingxin had played most of the cards it could play, and what was left was only his personal ability.

But how many cards does Blue Rain have left to play?

No one knows except Lan Yu and his friends.

Wu Xuefeng looked at the close-up of Ye Xiu on the screen, feeling a little dazed.

At this moment, his expression was tense and his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce through time and space.

Obviously, LOL is not a game that requires much hand speed, but his operation frequency is frighteningly high. That is to say, LOL does not count apm, otherwise it would be a number that would make Yu Wenzhou next door envious.

Perhaps he knew that the game was over, but this unyielding old man was still trying his best to replicate the miracle that marked the beginning of the dynasty ten years ago.

However, time, and even the era, have been moving further and further away from him on a path that goes against his will.

　First update, don’t worry, there will be more in a while.

　　I went to the hospital for a checkup during the day and was diagnosed with a lot of problems, especially with my lumbar spine. I don’t know what will happen next.
　　trouble.
