What is a hexagon jungler?

After a night's rest, the VG players gathered in the brand new training room that had been tidied up.

"Before studying the details of G2's specific play style, I have to emphasize a few pieces of information that need attention." Redmi tapped on the tactical whiteboard and urged.

VG players listen carefully with a correct attitude.

After all, this is the first time they have played against G2 on the professional stage, so they should know more about their opponents.

"First of all, from the perspective of the group stage, G2 is a typical double-C backing team. When in doubt, they wait for the three-piece suit of Perkz and Imp. They specialize in raising troops to develop the double-C, and then let the Ueno brothers form the front row. Shield, take your time and try to win a frontal team fight."

Redmi pointed out a detail, "Among them, Perkz even used magic-core characters in all 6 games!"

Gu Xing propped his chin to express his opinion, "It doesn't make sense, most teams follow a similar pattern."

In the group stage, although the two wandering mages of Rock Sparrow Ryze have emerged, in terms of appearance rate, the three magic cores of Clockwork Snake Girl firmly occupy the forefront of the mid-lane hero list.

Many teams gradually see the disadvantages of the magic core in the continuous output ability, but they are still used to it.

It is nothing more than thinking that team battles cannot be without AP damage, otherwise they will become a chopper team, and the efficiency of cutting the front row is too low.

"Yes," Hongmi nodded in agreement with Gu Xing's point of view, and then added, "But many mid laners have no choice but to use magic cores. Perkz is completely different, and his abilities are comprehensive enough."

Since the rise of Fahe in the summer game last year, it has occupied the middle of the professional league for a year.

Even if there were Assassins, Lucian, Lulu Karma and other characters joining in to interfere during the period, it was just a flash in the pan.

In the end, we still have to return to the law core!

This evolution trend of the version has led to the fact that most of the mid laners who can enter the World Championship have a high proficiency in mana cores-if they don't know how to play the wind-up snake girl, it will be very difficult for the team to achieve good results.

The difference is that some guys only know how to use cores, and they are still the traditional dharma king type. The local binding spirit bolt stays motionless in the middle, and starts to become addicted to soldiers when they see minions turning into residual blood. The trough soldier' ​​just rushed forward to make up the knife regardless.

This type of mid laner is purely enjoying the version bonus.

For them, as long as there is still a pawn line in the middle, it is impossible to roam. They can only spend money to buy equipment and then stand up and exert their strength in the later stage.

Again, the current middle unit has not been influenced by a certain champion player, most of them are earthbound spirits!

Just look at U Gus, Hou Ye, and Gao Dewei. The mid laner of the brush is all the rage.

Of course, there are also some mid laners who have retained their law-core style of play and evolved a little roaming ability.

Perkz and Faker are typical of them.

In the context of the current era, if you are willing to take the initiative to exert influence on the side lanes during the laning phase and act as a dog for your teammates, you can already be regarded as a mid laner with relatively strong roaming ability.

According to current standards, Ah P is the mid laner of the hexagon!

"I was able to choose Ryze Rock Sparrow but didn't play a game in the group stage. I suspect that G2 is using Perkz to test the strength of the French nuclear hero under the incense burner system and prepare for the knockout round." Redmi made a bold guess.

He found out the basic information of the players given by E+ and said, "It must be admitted that Perkz is very strong. He is almost dominant in Group C... The average matchup lead is 45 knives per game, and the economy is leading + 1564, the average damage per point is 660, and the team's output ratio is as high as 30%!"

There was a sound of sucking air in the newly built training room.

Judging from the data alone, Perkz's performance is worthy of a sentence of horror!

"But even so, we lost two sets, so you don't have to worry about it," Hongmi continued, "I think G2 will win the quarterfinals after two group matches in which the French core played well but still failed. The game will choose to give up the magic core appropriately, and instead use a mage like Ryze, a rock sparrow, who has both damage and roaming, to help the jungler and bot lane as much as possible during the laning phase."

"It's not a big problem though, Kuro should be able to handle Perkz's roaming."

Li Ruixing raised his head and chest with pride when he heard the words, "That must be done!"

If Ah P and Faker are the representatives of today's all-round mid laners, then Kuro is a wonderful player in the general sense!

Laning, economic acquisition, and team fighting skills are mediocre among world-class mid laners, and there is nothing remarkable about it.

But in terms of roaming and being a dog, Kuro thinks he is invincible!

After all, as a proficient user of the Dragon King, I can only say that I understand everything.

If this year is the mid-lane stab or the brush core version, Li Ruixing will definitely not be as good as Ah P.

But in the next link, the law test is useless!

I'm afraid you won't succeed in playing tool man?

Song Jinghao raised the issues he was most concerned about.

"They won't help, will they?"

Redmi showed the information to Smeb, "From the summer split to the S7 group stage, Jankos is indeed rarely caught, and their Ueno affinity rate is only 4%."

Gu Xing understood.

This is a fairly low number.

Even when the incense burner system was just released with the help of Gu Xingcrazy, VG's Ueno affinity rate was about 14%.

The data of G2 is comparable to that of Guodian.

"Jankos doesn't help on the road, I think one is because the team's tactical focus is on the lower half, and the jungler must have a trade-off..." Hongmi explained.

In the professional arena, it is impossible for the jungler to take care of the three lines at the same time. Basically, he regards the middle lane as one of the necessary strategy points, and then chooses one of the upper and lower lanes.

The inner perimeter of the G2 team is Wunder and Imp.

Anyone with a little brain will choose to play in the bottom lane, and the strength of the alcoholic Bobby is much stronger than the number one top laner in Azeroth.

"Secondly, because of the version environment, from the summer split until now, top laners have been dominated by melee tank characters. The benefits of helping top laners are not high. Needless to say, this is exactly the same reason as our tactical focus shift," Redmi analyzed in detail , "The last point is related to the opponent. The top laners faced by G2 from the league to the group stage are very average. Wunder can handle it by himself."

Gu Xing agreed with Hongmi's statement.

In the European Division, there is no top laner who can put pressure on Wunder!

If you want to list the five positions and compare them with the China and South Korea divisions, many points in Europe will not suffer.

There are three Dharma kings, A P, Caps and POE in the middle lane, Xiao Yang in the jungle, Ou Cheng and Hans sama in the bottom lane...

Only the top order is a real dish.

So much so that Wunder was able to become the number one top laner after Huni left the "no tiger in the mountain" monkey in the European division!

On the other hand, LPL, although local top laners have not been successful in recent years.

But there are Korean aid!

TheShy, Smeb and Jin Gong's hard power on the road is quite good, I don't know how better than Wunder is!

The low-intensity competition in the competition area allows Wunder to easily play stand-alone games on the road, and can complete the level without the help of the lamb.

I thought things would change at the World Championships.

As a result, in the group stage, Wunder was once again lined up with a group of low-quality top laners. The best matchups in Group C turned out to be the 25-year-old princess Flame and Letme!

If it weren't for the top laners who are not aggressive enough in the group stage, Wunder feels that he can beat Letme by $400 in a BO5, and he will retire directly to his opponent!

Redmi pointed out the key information and gave countermeasures, "So I think when we face G2 next week, we must start with the Ueno. The injury caused Mai Bo to play solo, and most of the games were won!"

What he meant was clear.

Starting from the quarter-finals, VG will use a brand new version after the top laner environment has been changed, giving Smeb the right to fire!

There is no need to hide this trick any longer.

The teams that entered the top eight have basically figured out that the EZ jungler is a trap. The quality of the dialogue between the strong and the strong in the next training match will be much higher, and the understanding of the version will be improved by leaps and bounds!

If it is kept secret until the semi-finals, maybe others have already developed it, and VG will not get the bonus of being the first to use tactics to catch the opponent by surprise!

Furthermore, another insider, Dragon Ball, wants to fight to get points, and VG's wishful thinking and hiding will be useless at that time.

Anyway, G2 is a strong opponent, and VG has enough hidden moves. It is understandable to use a hole card to ensure a smooth promotion.

When Song Jinghao heard Hongmi's arrangement, his blood was surging.

Since the birth of the incense burner system, Gu Xing has abandoned himself and devoted himself to raising Jack in the bottom lane. Now that he finally has the opportunity to launch an attack as the absolute core of the team, he must cherish it!

Song Jinghao immediately made a promise.

"Don't worry, as long as Pingu comes to help me twice, Wo can hang Wunder up and beat him!"

He is full of confidence.

"By the way, one more thing to pay attention to is the opposing support Beryl," Hongmi recalled another X factor, "This guy has a lot of tricks, I don't know if he will come up with some weird routines before facing us."

This year, Beryl has developed a gameplay that assists in bringing ancient coins to the middle lane to quickly upgrade salary equipment, which is really impressive.

Although this trick disappeared with the emergence of the incense burner system-mainly because the environment is not suitable.

There are only two types of shooters suitable for incense burners.

One is the big core of team battles such as Mouse Big Mouth, aiming at the stable development of the lane, and the efficiency of clearing troops is generally slow. Unlike the summer game, support players can benefit from faster line pushers and finish clearing the line in the bottom lane. Immediately ran to the middle of the road to rub wages.

The second is the shooters like Xiaopao and the policewoman who can drive the team to push the tower. Although the speed of pushing the line is very fast, there is no need for Ruanfu to run to the middle lane immediately after clearing the line-follow the shooter to push the tower in the bottom lane. Don't you like eating delicious and spicy food?

And at that time, the tactic of improving the soft support level and salary equipment progress of the middle route was very popular, because the canyon vanguard was more important, and the two teams had to gather everyone to start a team battle on the upper river to determine the ownership of the neutral resources.

Now even if you are fighting for the vanguard, you will not go if you need to make soft assistants for the incense burner as soon as possible and shooters who emphasize development, so the line-scratching tactics will naturally be gradually eliminated.

But the ingenious trick still surprised many professional players at that time!

Redmi is very afraid of this kind of research and development players.

In the BO5 duel, the competition is all about hard power and background. Even if you just use hidden tricks to steal a small round, it may have a profound impact on the outcome of the game!

"Don't worry too much," Jack reassured his head coach, "Beryl is just a freshman like me, maybe he doesn't even know the professional environment, it's impossible to develop a new one every time he competes. trick?"

"That's true..." Hongmi nodded in agreement with Yu Wenbo's opinion, her expression calmed down a little.

Gu Xing made a suggestion, "Let's make an appointment with WE for the training match in the past few days. Their style is quite similar to that of G2."

Top laner Wunder has the ability to carry, but limited by factors such as the team's tactical focus, he can only survive online and develop alone.

The jungler Jankos is the rhythm engine, and the overall offense revolves around the lower half.

The team relies on the double C again...

Isn't this a proper WE template?

Of course, it’s okay to say that there are similarities with SKT, but VG and the barbecue stand are in the same half area, and there are no training matches.

Based on the attitude of believing in my family, it is reasonable to choose WE as the target of the battle!

"Okay, okay, when the goal is determined, hurry up and work!" Hongmi encouraged the players, "Mai Bo, pay attention, go to Jin Gong and TheShy to practice laning, and try to restore your state to the peak , every next BO5 is very important!"

Song Jinghao waved his OK gesture.

The VG training room was full of energy, and everyone was in full swing preparing for the next fierce battle.

...

North America Los Angeles, Santa Monica.

Riot Inc. is buzzing.

"Have you packed your luggage for China?"

"The preparations have been completed a long time ago. It is said that dozens of employees will be on a business trip together this time. Except for Ryze and Tryndamere, who are going to present awards to the champion, the rest of them want to take the opportunity to grab a plane ticket to travel!"

"Mundo, have you figured out where to go?"

"Of course not, Mundo can go wherever he wants!"

"...I'm doing a good job in travel strategy. There is a Fragrant Mountain over there. Autumn is just in time for viewing the red leaves. You can also take time to visit the Great Wall!"

Chunli walked between the workstations of her colleagues, silently listening to their cheerful conversation.

Occasionally, I can hear the name of a certain hero. Those are the veterans who existed in the early days of the company. At the beginning, Riot had no idea to name the game characters, so they simply used the names of employees.

Except for the famous Ryze and Tryndamere, heroes such as Mundo and Xerath also come from the real names of Riot employees.

Everyone is immersed in the joy of going on a "business trip" to a foreign country at public expense.

Riot's welfare has always been very good, and it has no objection to this kind of thing.

It is also normal for employees from the North American headquarters to go to the S race site to help out, and take a trip by the way.

After all, the World Championship was held in North America last year, and none of the Riot employees had the opportunity to travel abroad.

Chun Li was not so happy.

He came to his boss, Ghost Crab, to make a routine report.

"Do you have the data of each team in the group stage?" Ghost Crab asked.

Chun Li took out a document and handed it over.

Open the ghost crab and take a look. The database held by the fist is far more detailed than the general data website, and the various icon information is dazzling.

"Judging from the current environment, SKT has the highest probability of winning the championship?" Ghost Crab raised an inconspicuous eyebrow.

Riot has a unique set of algorithms that can use the high-level data of all 16 teams participating in the group stage to draw a curve.

For example, the duration, the frequency of neutral resource competition, the right to push the line, the number of anti-wildering times, the frequency of Gank, etc., are all covered by Riot.

Then remove the games represented by the most exaggerated discrete value of the curve. These games are either extremely abusive or tricky games, with little reference value.

Just like the popular Go AI AlphaGo in the first half of this year, when absorbing data, it can't always pay equal attention to low-level chess games such as professional second-dan and Ke Jie's peak duel with Lee Sedol.

That doesn't pollute the database!

After excluding extreme cases, Riot successfully obtained a chart, which is a line formed by the average value of high-level data of each team when they win.

Internally, the data department calls it the 'Victory Curve'.

Then compare the victory curve with the respective high-level data curves of the 16 teams, and the closest team is the favorite to win the championship.

In the document in the hands of Ghost Crab, SKT is the team that most fits the victory curve.

"Yes," Chun Li replied, and looked up at Ghost Crab nervously, "But... VG is close behind, not much different from SKT."

Ghost Crab breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to maintain the stability of the World Championship version, they did not dare to make drastic changes to the incense burner.

As a result, VG is one step ahead in understanding the version, ahead of other teams!

"This time it was a bit of a mistake, and VG figured out the version in advance," Chun Li analyzed, frowning. "In fact, they are not suitable for the incense burner system."

"VG is the team that puts the most emphasis on top and jungle offense. Our summer game changes are aimed at cutting this point. Currently, top laners and junglers are dominated by tank heroes. The linkage between Smeb and Virtue has almost been cut off by us. He pointed to the data icon, "VG's Ueno affinity rate has been cut from 4% in the spring split!"

"It's such a pity, if VG hadn't discovered the incense burner system in advance, they would have been upset in this World Championship!" Chun Li was heartbroken.

"If VG and other teams stand on the same starting line in version understanding, I don't know how they will win the championship," he gushed, "This environment emphasizes double C play output, but Kuro is not good at spell core, and JackeyLove He is a violent genius, and Ueno is limited to misfire by the version, aren't they waiting to lose?"

It can only be said that the fist has a lot of data.

However, just like the European and American contests, designers rely too much on the content reflected in these data, and cannot think about deeper version changes.

If it was all-knowing and all-powerful, Fist Death would not have changed the reloaded fighters before the S5 World Championship and messed up the highly anticipated global finals!

Now Chunli thinks that the version of the S7 World Championship will remain unchanged and will always be maintained.

As everyone knows, VG and other teams have already started the next round of version evolution!

Ghost Crab looked at his subordinate.

He knew what the other party meant when he came to talk to him.

By the way, throwing away the responsibility proves the ability to work.

did you see?

I can't blame VG for maintaining its dominance. It's obvious that they are about to be cut off. If it weren't for sudden changes, these players wouldn't be able to win the championship!

But the ghost crab has already thought about it.

"Then let's do this first," he waved his hands in frustration, "Go with VG, they won the World Championship in their home country, and it would be a good thing for Riot."

Ghost Crab and VG don't have any deep hatred, so there's nothing wrong with it.

As Riot's largest market, LPL's team winning the championship is also of great benefit to the promotion of the local League of Legends.

Chun Li sighed secretly, realized what Ghost Crab meant, and turned to leave the boss's station.

On the way, I could hear employees from the marketing department on the same floor communicating loudly.

"I think Virtue World Championship data is quite scary, why don't you send him an official tweet?"

"If you're not in a hurry, just wait for a while. I just sent a tweet about the selection of famous scenes in the S7 group stage. Guess what? Two of the top five votes were played by Virtue!"

"Hey! So powerful? I heard that there is a wall over there in the LPL. It is reasonable to say that most of the official voters are from non-LPL competition regions. The popularity on the external network is a bit ridiculous!"

"Isn't that right? An EZ wild area chased and killed Svenskeren, and a blind vision R completed a solo kill; the other was a wine barrel who robbed Levi's dragon and retreated completely. Virtue is really bold and careful!"

Chun Li heard Gu Xing's ID echoing in her ears over and over again, her face turned into a bitter gourd.

The people in charge of marketing like to praise e-sports stars.

There is traffic.

As long as Faker and Gu Xing are pulled out, every KPI assessment can be passed smoothly!

Some netizens even called these two super e-sports stars Riot's real father and wild father.

However, as a designer, Chunli doesn't like the fact that these stars can always maintain a strong competitive state, and thinks it is a contempt for the content of her work.

However, now that the situation is overwhelmed, Chunli has no choice.

He took out his phone and clicked on the fist official tweet.

The candidate voting interface for the group stage name scene came into view.

Although Gu Xing's two wonderful moves are on the list, they are still under the pressure of others, ranking second and third.

The top spot comes from SKT.

Luo + clockwork + mouse, 10,000 economic difference.

Although Gu Xing has a lot of fans on the Internet, SKT is obviously not a vegetarian. After years of achievements, they also have a group of fans!

What's more, the team battle cooperation quality of the 10,000 economic comeback is really high. Looking at the history of Riot e-sports, it is also a perfect team that sits on the three and one, and it is reasonable to be far ahead in the voting.

Chun Li thought and thought, and reached out to vote for Gu Xing's two famous scenes.

He planned to go home to pack his luggage and return to his motherland to visit relatives.

Of course, we also need to meet Gu Xing.

When dozens of Riot employees arrived in Guangzhou by flight, time flew by, and October 19 came in the blink of an eye.

The first match of the quarterfinals ignited the flames of war.

By Dragon Ball against EDG.

Coming up is hard work.

Mingkai played against Peanut.

EDG saw that it was going to fight a foreign war, so they simply didn't engage in those things that were not there. They first showed the audience the game understanding they had mastered, and banned all of Khan's Desnar.

[The novel app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, and the source-changing app used by old bookworms,]

If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have the priority to choose sides, he would have to bear the forbidden position of skateboard shoes. Nofe would have to block the top laner of the three-lane team!

"What's the situation?!" The baby who didn't know the direction of the version change was dumbfounded, and he didn't understand Guodian's ban position selection. "Is EDG so afraid of Khan that even Gnar is going to be banned?"

ban jess he can li sister.

After all, he is Kim Dong Ha's signature hero.

What's the matter with Konal?

The Dragon Ball players are no surprise either.

They guessed that VG would share the version change information with the brothers in the same competition area. Anyway, there is no civil war in the quarter-finals of LPL, and EDG and RNG will not use these single-band top laners, so they can only plan to disable them early.

But the question is, can you live within limits?

One of the first-round bans that was not enough was stuck by skateboard shoes!

Khan under the camera curled his mouth, and directly took out Kenan, ready to kill everyone!
