Chapter 80: New Mid Lane
Coaches, team leaders and players flew to Glacier two days in advance to familiarize themselves with the environment.
This is an ice city whose average temperature is eight degrees colder than that of the Imperial Capital. It is still winter in January. The whole city is covered in silver, and the streets are full of ice sculptures. During the journey from the airport to the hotel, the first time I came to the glacier Cheng Xing excitedly took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the snow scene all the way.
There are 4 games scheduled at the Glacier Esports Center this week.
The 8 participating teams will stay in the official cooperative hotel designated by the alliance, which is convenient for management.
The environment of the hotel is very good, and there are double rooms for each team. Alpha and Omega couldn't live together. Team leader Tang Can kindly reserved a room for Ye Shaoyang to live alone.
Ye Shaoyang came to this city for the first time, and the architectural style was quite distinctive. However, he was not interested in going out for a walk. He slept honestly and concentrated on preparing for the game on the 24th.
On January 24, there was a heavy snowfall in Glacier City, and the temperature plummeted to -20 degrees.
All Tianhuan members put on a thick down jacket on the outside of the team uniform. When they arrived at the venue, there were already many people sitting in the auditorium. Although it was not as full as the playoffs, the 50% attendance rate still exceeded Ye Shaoyang's expectations.
"In such a cold weather, and it's the regular season of Group B, I didn't expect there to be a lot of spectators?" There was a heater in the stadium, Ye Shaoyang looked at the coach while taking off his down jacket.
Coach Lin said with a smile: "There are also a lot of spectators who don't follow the team, but simply like to watch e-sports games. There are many online trolls, but in reality, there are actually more spectators watching the games silently and supporting the league."
Ye Shaoyang nodded: "Yes." He hung his down jacket on the hanger in the lounge, turned back to Coach Lin and said with a smile: "Coach, don't mind the comments scolding you on the Internet. In fact, I know that you are putting pressure on you. It was transferred to myself, so that not too many people would scold me, and they would all go to the fire-focused coach."
Coach Lin looked back at Ye Shaoyang and met his bright eyes.
He seemed to know everything.
The decision of the coaching staff is indeed looking for scolding, but it also helps the players to divert their firepower. Because Ye Shaoyang and Cheng Xing are two newcomers, once they lose the game in Group S, netizens will scold them even harder.
In particular, Ye Shaoyang replaced Qujiang's middle unit.
At that time, many people will say, "Why should an Omega take the place of Qu Jiang?" "I'm not as good as Qu Jiang, is it because of improper relationships?" In that case, the identity of Shaoyang Omega will become The biggest point of contention, some even doubted whether he squeezed out Qu Jiang by disgraceful means.
Lin Feng didn't want to cause cracks in the Tianhuan team, nor did he want Ye Shaoyang to suffer too much public opinion pressure. To make Ye Shaoyang and Cheng Xing's debut a little smoother, this is what they can do as coaches.
Lin Feng patted Ye Shaoyang on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, you play well, I believe in you."
Ye Shaoyang said seriously: "Don't worry, I will play well." Although he is not afraid to play in the S group now, the coaching staff wants him to make his debut and win a few more games to boost his confidence... How can he let the coach down?
The crowd came to the lounge. Seeing that there was only half an hour left before the game, Cheng Xing nervously turned around to go to the toilet, but Ye Shaoyang sat next to Chi Shuo with a calm expression.
Chi Shuo looked back at him and asked in a low voice, "This is the first official match, aren't you nervous?"
Ye Shaoyang said: "Fortunately, I don't feel anything."
Chi Shuo: "…"
You really have a big heart.
After a while, two official commentators appeared on the screen in the preparation room.
Muran: "Friends from the audience, welcome to the first round of the regular season of the tenth season of the Shenzhan Official Professional League. This is the Glacier E-sports Center!"
Xiaoyu: "The two teams participating today are Team Tianhuan and Team NTG from Group B. Players from both sides are ready. Let's invite the starters of the two teams to the big stage with warm applause!"
The audience burst into applause, and NTG's starting list and team promotional photos appeared on the screen. The five NTG members entered the venue first. The staff pushed open the door of the lounge and signaled that Team Tianhuan was ready to take the stage.
The barrage quickly swiped in the live broadcast room.
[Will Tianhuan's Omega player join? Don't send 2 teams in the regular season! 】
[Tianhuan joins the 2nd team again, I will blow up the head of the coaching staff! 】
【I just want to see how Tianhuan loses】
【This time it should be the main team, so you can't mess around in the regular season, right? 】
[Is little brother Omega a new support? Can't make it this game? 】
At this time, the players of the NTG team had already sat in the soundproof room and were debugging the equipment.
Seeing that among the 5 people Tianhuan stepped onto the stage, there was Ye Shaoyang, the recently famous Omega player, the NTG captain couldn't help laughing: "The coach guessed right, Tianhuan really sent the main team, that Omega should be the support. .Although Omega support is relatively rare, please don't show mercy."
"Tianhuan has two rookies in the starting lineup today. It seems that we have a chance to win!" The NTG coach was confident and said with a smile: "Aim at Chi Shuo, just blow their wild zone."
As soon as he said this, he saw the five people from Tianhuan standing side by side in a row on the big stage, bowing to the audience. The order of standing was: Qin Yizhu, Chi Shuo, Ye Shaoyang, Cheng Xing, and Qu Jiang.
The coach's smile froze slightly: "Is this position wrong?"
The captain was also puzzled: "The C position of Omega station in the promotional photo can be said to be for visual effects, but in the official competition, there is no need to be so humble, right?"
However, the Tianhuan five did not adjust the order.
After they walked into the soundproof room with the Tianhuan team emblem hanging, they still sat down in front of the computer in this order, connected the keyboard and mouse they carried with them to the computer, and put on headphones to start debugging the equipment.
The audience finally sensed something was wrong.
There are also a lot of question marks in the live broadcast rooms of major platforms on the Internet.
【what's the situation? ? ! 】
[Brother Omega is actually standing in the C position! Is it wrong or wrong? 】
[Fuck, he is also sitting in the middle of the soundproof room! This is a **** mid laner! 】
[The seats during the game are all in order, and it is impossible to assist in the middle! So he's really a mid laner? ! 】
Beimu team base.
There was no competition scheduled today. Zhao Xinan, who was watching the live broadcast in the conference room, spit out a sip of tea: "What the hell? Tianhuan's wave of sassy routines, I didn't expect it!"
Zhao Xinping frowned: "Ye Shaoyang is the mid laner? So Cheng Xing played the shooter position, and Qu Jiang was transferred to support?"
Coach Beimu's jaw was about to drop: "Cheng Xing used to follow Chi Shuo to learn to play jungler, but suddenly he switched to shooter... Qu Jiang's mid-laner to support? Then they started a new Omega mid-laner that they haven't seen before?!"
Everyone: "…"
Who would have thought of this?
Therefore, Tianhuan's starting lineup this season is 5 people replaced by 3?
Coach Beimu thought thoughtfully: "No wonder Coach Lin has to bear the pressure of being scolded on the hot search not to go to the S group, I replaced 3 of the 5 positions in the main lineup, and did not dare to come directly to the S group. Clashing into a strong team, and being eliminated in 5 innings in a row, my mentality might explode."
Zhao Xin'an is someone who can't hide his thoughts, so he immediately sent a message in the group—
[Reporter Zhao]: I rely on it, Tian Huan's newly signed Omega player is actually a mid laner!
[Reporter Zhao]: Qu Jiang went to play support, let the newcomer play the mid lane?
[Zhou Zhou]: Is that so? I'll take a look.
[I'm very square]: Ye Shaoyang was indeed the mid laner when the live broadcast was just started.
At this time, on the big screen at the scene, the promotional photos of each contestant will be released and introduced in turn.
Tianhuan just introduced it to the middle position.
The commentator said quietly and excitedly: "This player has caused quite a bit of controversy recently. He is an Omega rookie signed by the Tianhuan Club at a high price of 5 million. Everyone is speculating whether he will be an assistant? But today, Tianhuan's The starting lineup was unexpected - he's in the middle of the pack!"
Commentary Xiaoyu: "Welcome to Tianhuan's new mid laner, Ye Shaoyang, Tianhuan-Lieyang!"
In the pre-match introduction stage, the camera will take close-up pictures of the players in sequence. When Ye Shaoyang saw the camera in front of him light up, he smiled and waved to the camera.
As a result, his enlarged face appeared on the live screen and the screen in the live broadcast room, and he smiled as he waved hello to the audience.
[It's the feeling of heartbeat~ Omega brother is so handsome! 】
[Keep the dog's head of Tianhuan's coaching staff first, maybe this is the secret hidden by Tianhuan. Weapon? 】
[I was stunned in the starting lineup, what tricks are the coaching staff playing, and the lineup is changing? 】
[Why should the newcomer top Qujiang's middle unit! Why should the newcomers beat the old players! 】
[Hehe, Tianhuan is still disappointing today]
Netizens praised and scolded, and the white barrage filled the screen densely.
Compared with Ye Shaoyang's calmness, Cheng Xing's smile when facing the camera seemed a little stiff.
After all, he is Chi Shuo's apprentice, and he has a certain reputation, but everyone knows that he followed his master to learn jungle and suddenly switched to shooter position, which still caused many fans' doubts.
Finally, when I introduced the Taoist assistant Qu Jiang, someone started to bring the rhythm.
[Make way for the newcomer, feel sorry for my brother Qu]
[Qu Jiang has played mid-laning for three years. He has no credit or hard work. The coach asked him to make room for the newcomer. Does he have any conscience? 】
[Who told the new mid laner to bring money into the group? There might be something inside the 5 million signing fee.]
Under the stage, Xie Xiaotian watched the live broadcast on his mobile phone and couldn't help but get angry when he saw the barrage of these keyboard warriors: "A group of people will be bullying here, my brother Yang didn't bring money into the group, he is relying on strength!"
Yan Bin said: "Don't be angry, Brother Yang is a newcomer, and the starting mid laner replaced Brother Qu, so it's normal to be questioned." He paused and said, "Don't worry, they will be slapped in the face soon."
Game start.
In the first game, Tian Huan randomly went to the blue side and was banned first.
The group stage of the regular season is not a global BP. Used heroes can be reused, and the rules are relatively loose.
Coach Lin stood behind everyone, holding a notebook in his hand, and said in the earphone: "Ban first [Shield of Glory]." This is a strong team-opening support. After banning, it can reduce the pressure on the bottom lane.
Qin Yizhu, who was sitting on the far left, followed the coach's instructions to ban people.
The first ban of NTG on the opposite side was really given to Chi Shuo's famous hero [Blood Clothes Assassin].
Coach Lin: "Continue Ban to assist [Doom Hammer]"
The second Ban position of NTG is still aimed at Chi Shuo's wild core [Sneak Thief].
The commentary was silent: "The first stage of BP for both sides is over. NTG's two bans are for the jungler, and Tianhuan has two supporters. Then, which hero will Tianhuan grab first?"
Lin Feng: "Take the top order [Black Dragon Knight]"
NTG chose the strong bot lane combination of [Forest Messenger][Holy Archer].
Lin Feng said: "Choose [Frost Goddess] [Snow Girl] on the 2nd and 3rd floors."
NTG saw this and chose the mid laner [Illusionist].
Commentary Xiaoyu: "After the mid lane selection of both sides, it is a better decision for NTG to use [Illusionist] to target [Frost Goddess], because [Illusionist] restrains [Frost Goddess] online."
The commentator was silent: "It's surprising that in the first stage, Tian Huan did not rush to the jungle, which means that NTG can continue to target the jungle position, and the team's wild core will be Banned!"
In the second stage of BP, NTG unceremoniously continued to ban Chi Shuo's wild core. On the Ban position are the very strong [King of Fighters] and the multi-displacement assassin [Linghu].
Tianhuan started to place orders on Ban, which relieved the pressure on Qin Yizhu.
In one game, NTG directly banned four junglers!
Chi Shuo has almost no wild core heroes to choose from.
Tianhuan's 4th and 5th floors began to select heroes, and the 4th floor locked [Fighter]. This jungler hero was too weak in the early stage and could only be a tool in most cases. When it was the 5th floor's turn, Xiaoyu explained, "What support will Tianhuan choose?"
As a result, [Abyss Master] was locked in seconds on the 5th floor.
The live broadcast room was full of question marks.
[Choose two mages, are you kidding me? 】
【what's the situation? 】
[Tianhuan this season is really disappointing! 】
The two commentators looked at each other: "[Abyss Lord] is a thorn, so why did [Frost Goddess] choose it?"
"Qu Jiang is very good at Frost Goddess. In this game, Frost Goddess is in the support position, not in the mid lane, right? Although Frost Goddess support is relatively rare, it is also possible to play control."
"Is Tianhuan going to use [Abyss Master] to hit the core lineup?!"
Coach Lin's tricks confuse NTG directly. They chose a [Illusionist] to target [Goddess of Frost], and as a result [Goddess of Frost] went to the support position, and a [Abyss Master] appeared in the middle?
The two sides began to change heroes quickly.
On Tianhuan's side, the last selected [Abyss Master] was moved to the 3rd floor and handed over to Tianhuan-Lieyang to use.
The camera was aimed at Ye Shaoyang, who was sitting in the middle. He still had a smile on his face, looking very relaxed.
Netizens: "…"
Omega's first mid-laner, and he directly took out [Abyss Master] in the first game. The courage is commendable!
