Chapter 194: Field Explosion! Burn, burn, burn! The Global Clash

"Congratulations to V5 for taking the first small game of this BO3, and also their first victory in 2023!"

At the moment the WBG base exploded, Miller raised his voice slightly and shouted, looking like he was still holding back a bit.

Wawa on the side also hurriedly raised a hand: "WBG feels like they are still in a state of exploration for the new version, but this is also very normal, it's the first game of the new season! Still slowly adjusting and grinding!"

The straightforward Pyl heard the two old casters pause and thought they were giving him a chance to speak, so he hurriedly took the words.

"Indeed! This game really ended a bit too fast, finishing in 19 minutes and 50 seconds, feels like it will be the fastest of this season, and this 14-0, oh no, 14-2 score, should be a result that many people didn't expect!"

The Haier brothers on the side were stunned for a moment.

Ah, not brother, you didn't notice that the two of us specifically didn't read the "score" and "time," right?

You even read it out with special emphasis!

Pyl on the side saw the Haier brothers looking at him, and thought of the official training before the match.

Immediately understood that these two were definitely "giving him the stage"!

Pyl, who had retired for many years, had been lukewarm in the live streaming industry, and now he really wanted to transition to the job of an official caster. Seeing that the two seniors gave him so much face, he hurriedly continued to talk endlessly.

"And speaking of this, this V5 team's grinding is really good!"

"It's also a team with a brand-new lineup, also a brand-new version, but this V5, by comparison, has absolutely no sense of incongruity. You cover the ID and team name, and I'd believe it if you said it was the EDG from last year!"

"Especially player Ye, really clearly feel that his suppression in the new season seems to have gone up a level, that shouldn't be just because of the Aurelion Sol laning..."

【Bold Pyl!! Hinting openly, right!】

【Chen Bo, stop being the god of death in reality too! Shut up! Shut up quickly!】

【Fans explain, actually Pyl isn't hinting at the all-god team, he is Ye's own brother, just warm to relatives and not biased toward reason, look at the names and you know this one is day and one is night, purely a purely personal subjective opinion of the day!】

Pyl's fans were still trying to rescue.

The conscience-stricken Wawa and Miller hurriedly interrupted and inserted the topic, entering the mid-game advertising segment.

But it was too late.

The entry "#PylCasting" had instantly climbed into the top ten of Weibo's hot searches!

And just now in the game, Pyl's various "objective evaluations" actually had parts of the audience who found it difficult to evaluate the game content and had already found an output direction.

This time it exploded a second time, and various tasteless complaint posts were emerging on Weibo's real-time square.

"I'm so pissed!! Can this caster get off the stage!"

"Actually, I don't care which team wins, but can we change the caster next time? I can't understand what this person is saying!"

"Quality 666, in the end, actually wanted to fountain-camp! @LPLOfficialWeibo, this behavior must be fined, right!"

"Seriously, Aurelion Sol is too rogue! That invisible Q feels like it should be counted as a bug, and it was used twice at level one and at the end! This is unfair, unfair!"

"Mainly the BP problem, I ask Baidu, and Baidu says global BP tests the coach's strength very much! If the BP is bad, the players fundamentally can't play!"

"Family members, who understands, this Korean coach is too off-putting, why must he pick Sylas top for Shy-ge? Why not grab K'Sante? Let's just say, if you play well, isn't it an easy win? Why mess up the BP! Speechless!!"

The game that was almost a shutout, plus the performance of all WBG members who started to fire at the mid-game.

The game content is indeed difficult to defend—even if you really don't understand, you know it's difficult to defend!

But the game content is hard to defend, the things outside the game can be defended.

BP!

It must be the coach's BP problem!!

Of course, there are also many netizens watching the fun who rushed to Weibo, shouting 【Speak!! Words!!】

Unfortunately, in this land of strange tales, bad comments will be deleted.

The good news is, except for Weibo occupied by evil forces, the vast majority of "extra-legal lands" are all carnivalizing!

The famous e-sports toilet, the Anti-Pressure Bar, is simply like really celebrating the e-sports New Year, the happiness suppressed for a long time in the off-season all burst out, very lively.

【Truly worthy of the legendary all-god team! Brother has been constipated for three days, and one game cleared me out! Refreshing!!】

【All-god team? All-god-human team!】

【Unfortunately, I have to say this all-god team is not god enough, jungler Karsa is still too gentle! These two in the bot lane are also a bit lacking in flavor...】

【I have a plan! Heard that Uzi seems to want to return again again again, why don't Shi-sheng go to the West to invite the true god again! This way our all-god team can definitely point their swords at S13!】

【Why are Master Ye and Shengqiang Ge so bad, in the end, they had to send one, must leave our all-god team's first shutout to others! What if they are shut out by a weak team in the next game!】

【Don't force black, I saw Weibo say it, actually WBG's win rate against V5 is close to 99%, they can win ninety-nine out of a hundred games—it's just that this game happened to be the one they lost! Don't be anxious and proud, filial piety!】

【Don't be anxious, wait for our all-god team to adjust their state in the next game, and settle accounts with these one by one!】

This game, as the undisputed super traffic battle at the start of the New Year, is also the focus battle of the opening day.

The attention it attracted can be called terrifying!

The current situation of big traffic team games is like this, they explode as soon as they lose!

Of course, this is also understandable.

If you want to wear this crown, you must bear its weight.

Controversy and attention are the price that is equal to the huge benefits brought by traffic—you can't just want the good ones!

And such games are also blessed and cursed together.

If you win, you can also harvest more.

It can be completely seen as a "betting agreement" in the public opinion field.

Just like the current status of the V5 team members on various forums.

If they lost the first game, the scene would definitely not be much better than the opponent's, maybe even more explosive!

But at this moment, even if this BO3 still has a second half, the public opinion heat of all V5 members has already gone up a level, including the two new junglers!

The live broadcast room is also conducting the post-match segment.

In this game, everyone's performance can be called bright, and whoever gets the MVP can be called reasonable.

After the director struggled for a while, he finally gave it to Shengqiang Ge's K'Sante, who had three solo kills.

"The MVP of this game... oh my, it's Shengqiang Ge! No problem!" Wawa was still supporting.

"Actually, it's reasonable for anyone to get the MVP in this game. Master Ye's Aurelion Sol rhythm exploded, the jungle-support linkage was frame-by-frame in this game, and Deft, who was steadily suppressing knives in the bot lane, also had a very good team fight performance. No one can say they were lying down to win~" Miller was still balancing water.

"Qiang-ge's performance in this game is indeed okay! Solo killed TheShy's Sylas three times! Three times, eh!" Pyl was still looking for death.

The screen emerged with the data of K'Sante in this game.

Except for the 4/1/3 KDA, and the damage ratio of only 7, which was not very good.

Other data were all solid!

The participation rate looked low, mainly because K'Sante went in to tank the tower in the last team fight, Aurelion Sol's breath cooperated with Varus's thousand-mile arrow sniping to clear the field instantly, leading to him only having one assist in the last wave.

【Before, it could be said that there was only one example of Old Li-tou, now Shengqiang Ge has proven again, what age or not? In the end, it's just not working hard enough! If the rank training volume is pulled up, even if you are a 28-year-old veteran, you can play!】

【It really is, just checked the OP. GG data, Shengqiang Ge's rank volume ranks first among top laners in the off-season! Really a bit diligent, eh】

【Yangtuo's training volume also ranks first among ADs, and even the rank volume of the original batch is not a single digit! This is the importance of teammates, you sit next to a slacker and next to a diligent monster, the influence difference is very big!】

【Xun is right! Xun is right!】

【If they lose another game like this, I don't even dare to think about it~~~ the big one is coming!】

【Can only say that the games of these two teams are definitely the favorite episode of the stringers, whoever loses is a top-level enjoyment!】

"Yo-ho! Shengqiang Ge is going to treat everyone to a meal!"

The V5 crowd in the back who saw the result looked quite happy.

On the contrary, Shengqiang Ge had a helpless face: "Eh, how is this evaluated? Can't this be given to Aurelion Sol?"

"I have to seriously suspect that Master Ye bribed the referee!"

He Youjun, who came to support in the back, couldn't close his mouth with joy, and hurriedly spoke one after another: "I'll treat everyone tonight! Everyone play well in the next game, let's strive to finish WBG 2-0!"

He Youjun really felt that his investment this time was going to make a lot of money.

Frankly speaking, Shengqiang Ge's cost-effectiveness in the transfer market is indeed not high; his main idea when he approached the other party was to use him as a bargaining chip to attract Ye Bo.

Didn't expect Shengqiang Ge's performance to actually be okay!

This veteran's box really has oil.

"Do we want to change the system for the next game? Feels like their grinding is very average, the last game was completely playing their own..." Xun, who had just gained control of the brain, shook his head and raised his hand to look at the two head coaches.

V5 is also exploring the new version, with several different ideas and thoughts, needing practice and proof.

Beryl turned his head and looked at Ye Bo.

"Feels like they really haven't ground well yet, new system, we should still use strong teams to experiment, right." Ye Bo expressed his opinion.

"I think so too!" Beryl nodded immediately.

Deft also smiled and said: "Hmm, and we still have quite a lot of places to improve from the last game."

In terms of proficiency, their usual training volume is enough, and they don't lack this game.

This lineup of WBG, the feeling given to them in actual combat is that it is completely not ground well, it can be said that they didn't exert the strength that the players should have.

Experimenting with new lineups and systems, only with games of higher confrontation intensity can the effect be seen.

This point is precisely the experience of DRX's dark horse journey last year.

And the one who has the same idea as them—is also Danny in the back next door.

Danny, as a mature old coach, didn't scold everyone on the stage, but instead comforted them that this was just the start of the season, a small game in the regular season.

But Danny was indeed a bit irritable.

He had an opinion before, wanting WBG's Weibo Cup to try to pull strong teams to participate, only then could the team's grinding be accelerated.

The problem is, Shitou, Ganlu, and other WBG senior management seem to be a bit unable to accept the possibility of this traffic team having a "first loss."

Especially when it was still a game held by themselves!

When playing against that BLG team that was also newly formed, Danny already felt that his team had many invisible problems, but in the end, they won 3-2, and many problems were not discovered.

Today, as soon as they hit a hard point, they were all exposed instantly!

"Jungler, take a rest in the next game, change Weiwei up to try one."

"Temporarily changing the system won't work, in the next game we will keep the general body unchanged, you all absorb a few more problems, just play openly."

Danny shouted for the translator, conveying his meaning.

Karsa was easygoing and knew that this coach never blinked when changing people, so he was prepared in his heart.

Karsa and Weiwei, the two have clearly different styles of play.

The former, relatively speaking, will be more biased toward the offensive side, even if his operation has declined now, Radar Bro is not a false name.

And the latter, Weiwei's style of play is more biased toward the team, and the resources needed are also less...

In Danny's view, actually Weiwei would be more suitable for their team.

If it weren't for that Manager Shi wanting to eat that traffic...

WBG's team members are all veteran players who have been through many battles; except for Weiwei being a bit nervous and excited, everyone's expression didn't have much change, and there wouldn't be any psychological fluctuation because of a loss.

Both sides went on stage again.

The three casters also adjusted their state after a short rest, but Pyl's expression was a bit constipated...

At a glance, he knew he had been exploded in the field.

"Okay! Welcome back to the competition scene, what is about to be carried out is the second small game of WBG vs. V5!" Miller's voice appeared in the live broadcast room.

"In the first game, player Ye pulled out the Aurelion Sol that hadn't been seen for a long time! The support even picked a black technology like Jhin support, which left an extremely deep impression on us!"

"That's right, don't know what kind of adjustments WBG will make in this game..." Wawa was still full of expectations, "However, they are in the Red side in the second game, the BP might have to face some difficulties."

"I think the most important thing is the early-game rhythm problem. WBG collapsed too fast in the early game in the last game, especially a few key battles, and it was a bit too one-sided toward the end..."

The caster desk analyzed for a while.

Pyl was also cautious this time, still analyzing the possible advantages of WBG being in the Red side because of "burning heroes" in the first game.

With a crisp sound, the BP panel had already appeared before everyone's eyes.

"It's here! V5 is in the Blue side, coming up and sending Ryze to the ban position."

"Hmm, it seems player Ye might not like this hero... but actually it's also quite reasonable, after all, no matter how strong Ryze is, the early-game combat power is still not good, not quite in line with the early-game offensive used by V5!"

"However, this global BP mode, starting from the second game, is going to be a bit brain-burning..."

Global BP is like the coaching staff playing chess from afar.

In the first game, the reason WBG picked a lineup that looked a bit strange was clearly to prepare for this second game.

Up to here, the variables already have to be multiplied by several times.

Any change in the thinking of the coaching staff on both sides could lead to different results.

First round of bans—

V5: Ryze, Poppy, Sejuani

WBG: Akali, Renata Glasc, Renekton

"Eh? WBG's strategy, actually didn't continue to ban the mid laner?" Wawa asked suspiciously: "I thought we would see five mid laners banned again this game."

"However, V5's intent here is quite obvious; they are still targeting the jungle position. They must be continuing with the strategy from the last game!"

The understanding of the caster desk is superficial.

And Danny has his own understanding of global BP.

Could he not know the depth of the opponent's mid lane hero pool?

If this game were a BO5, and it were a "loser picks side" format, then going all out to burn the mid lane heroes would be reasonable.

After all, even if you only burn to the third game normally, the mid lane start might also be banned out of 8 choices.

No matter how deep your hero pool is, first of all, the version-strong heroes might not necessarily have 8!

But this is a BO3.

No matter how they burn in the first game of a BO3, at most they will burn 3+3, which clearly isn't enough.

And because 3 mid laners have already been burned in the first round, it already means the mid lane "biological chain" has been reset—thereby Danny doesn't have to continue to be "kidnapped by BP" by the mid laner in the second round, putting the BP focus on other lanes to grab advantages.

"V5 first picks Wukong, this is also one of the three strongest jungler heroes in the version!"

"Wow, WBG's jungler choice doesn't seem to have many left, the situation is not much better than V5's mid lane."

V5's BP was also temporarily changed.

It was a minor adjustment made after hearing Karsa was subbed out, specifically targeting Weiwei's strengths.

"Giving me a question..." Danny frowned tightly.

There are quite a few jungler heroes outside.

But in the case of burning Vi + Viego, banning Sejuani and Poppy, and grabbing Wukong.

The remaining strong heroes are basically aggressive junglers like Lee Sin, Xin Zhao, Elise, etc.

Utility junglers, almost only one Maokai is left, and because the current version's changes are biased toward the "AP tree-son throwing style" of play, the current version is not too strong...

No one went to ban or pick in the last game either.

And the Red side's late-pick first and second picks are very precious; if you don't go to grab those version heroes, the Blue side can grab three version heroes in return!

Wasting a position on a sacrificial jungler... Danny feels very lost.

"Still Jax and Syndra."

Danny made a decision, still sticking to their initial deployment for this game.

Jax and Syndra, both are recently reworked heroes, and both are strong choices that must be picked or banned in the current version.

And here, Danny's deep meaning is hidden.

Rookie's Syndra proficiency doesn't need to be said.

The grab in the last game was Azir + Sylas, which in a sense was because these two heroes are both somewhat "easy to fight" against the new version's Syndra.

As mentioned before, Syndra is from an early-game hero → a development-type mid-to-late-game hero.

The game structure is similar to Azir.

It's just that Azir not only has longer hands than Syndra in the laning phase, but also doesn't have the early-game weak fighting pressure—and in the mid-to-late game, Azir is clearly stronger!

As for Sylas, it is because this thing has too strong early-game fighting ability, and it is not easy to be suppressed to death in laning, plus it is Ye Bo's signature.

And why was it banned in the last game, but LeBlanc wasn't banned in this game?

—Because LeBlanc's core output skill W will be easily interrupted by Syndra's E face-to-face!

LeBlanc is not easy to fight against Syndra!

This is the BP chain reaction caused by the "biological chain reset," which can liberate many ban positions that originally needed to be prohibited.

And if V5 first picks Syndra.

Danny will immediately put the BP focus on the top or bot lane, picking Lissandra or Galio for Rookie, becoming a purely functional roaming mid laner, making a breakthrough in the top and bot!

"Rookie's Syndra! The big ball from the two-ball-one-chicken is here!"

"V5 counters by picking Maokai and Ashe. This must mean Maokai is going top. Maokai seems perfectly capable of holding his own against Jax, at least until Divine Sunderer is finished; there shouldn't be any pressure!"

"Ashe doesn't even need to be said, not only can she swing, but she is also Beryl's super signature!"

"The jungler really doesn't have many heroes, WBG's third pick chooses Xin Zhao, helping the top and mid heroes supplement the early-game curve!"

The first round of BP offensive between the two sides didn't seem to have too many advantages or disadvantages.

But entering the second round of bans, the clues appeared.

V5 not only has a counter-position advantage in the top and jungle.

This Ashe, even more showed huge BP deterrent value!

Due to Ashe's swing attribute, WBG cannot confirm the opponent's position, and also needs to worry about the excessive pressure of Ashe and the strong laning AD combination, so they can only perform some bans that might be "wasted."

Second round of bans, still the Red side bans first.

"Red side bans Deft's Caitlyn first, Blue side bans Sivir!"

"Red continues to target and ban Kalista, Blue also continues to ban Zeri..."

"Wait! Why does it seem like there are no heroes left for AD either?"

Until here.

The caster desk finally sensed something.

"Burn, burn, burn! WBG is burning V5's mid laner, but V5 is actually also silently burning the jungler and bot lane's heroes!"

"The one burned in the last game, not only Varus and Aphelios, actually there was also a Jhin!"

"Good guy, sure enough, the global BP in the hands of strong teams will be a completely different clashing experience, both sides seem to be setting traps for each other! Every step is meeting moves with moves!"

Actually, in Danny's view, seeing that the opponent's first ban position in the second round was also banning AD, he had already instantly reacted.

But, it was late!

Because these two ban positions are actually a "bright card conspiracy."

If you don't ban Caitlyn or Kalista, the opponent will definitely take them, and cooperating with Ashe is the rogue line priority.

But Gala can't play Caitlyn, and Kalista can't fight Ashe, so they can't grab them first in the second round!

They have to ban!

But, the problem is, what after banning?

Outside, the strong ADs that can still fight laning only have Lucian + Xayah + Draven left.

Or they can only go against the version and pick Ezreal, Jinx, Kai'Sa... these heroes are all going to be "beaten to death" in laning!

If they pick this kind of hero, they might have a game where all three lanes have no line priority!

Danny seems to already know what will happen next.

But, he just has no way.

"Xayah and Lucian, you pick one, but surely you can't pick a combination."

According to reason, Xayah facing a dive lineup would be a better choice.

But Danny had already seen it.

After four bans of AD, this Ashe will only be AD.

Whether it's Ashe + Rakan's double strong engage, or Ashe + Nami's strong laning, V5 is very comfortable.

They definitely can't get the "Lucian + Nami" or "Phoenix Legend" combination—it can also be said that the bot lane will definitely be at a laning disadvantage.

And if there are no combinations.

Looking at a single hero, clearly Lucian's laning is still stronger, at least with a hard support, there is still a way to fight back.

Just like Danny thought.

V5 sure enough, after confidently picking Zoe for the mid lane, grabbed Nami in the fifth pick, taking Ashe as AD, and dismantling the combination.

Both sides' lineups confirmed.

【Blue side: V5 || Red side: WBG】

【Top: Maokai vs Jax】

【Jungle: Wukong vs Xin Zhao】

【Mid: Zoe vs Syndra】

【ADC: Ashe vs Lucian】

【Support: Nami vs Nautilus】

At a glance at the lineup, it seems both sides don't have too much paper gap.

But Danny always felt.

He had stepped into the opponent's trap again...

Before going off stage, he was still giving his final instructions, still letting everyone "play openly."

Then he went to shake hands with a heavy heart.

Approaching the player seat, Danny stared at Beryl, who was laughing and muttering on the seat, his good beloved disciple, and for a moment even felt a bit emotional.

"Haven't seen him for a few months, has he grown so much?"

"Or..."

Thinking of this.

His gaze couldn't help but leap over the two people again, looking at the one in the middle, the one who was excited, whose mouth was fluctuating more rapidly.

Ye Bo was indeed very excited.

Because this was also his first pick after communicating with "Zoe."
