Chapter 68: Scrims
On November 20th, at 23:30 in the evening, North American FNO e-sports base.
FNO, short for FearNoOne, stands for "Fearless". This team is a veteran team in North America, and the style is the same as their name. They are not afraid of anything when playing games, and their style of play is very fierce.
The most aggressive position is the mid laner. Their family\'s mid laners have the characteristics of being tough and rigid. They play the mage as a warrior.
In the S6 season, Tianhuan played against FNO in the semi-finals of the World Series. At that time, FNO\'s mid laner was Mitchell\'s master Grace, and Tianhuan\'s mid laner was Chi Shuo\'s master Mingsheng. The two world-class mid laners faced off against each other. In the end, Tianhuan Nakano had a slight advantage, eliminated FNO in the semifinals, and reached the S6 world finals.
For the next three years, the two teams never met again, because Tianhuan failed to make it to the World Series.
The players on both sides also changed a group of people.
FNO only has the old player Keliman in the top single position. He once felt the sharpness of the young Chi Shuo in S6, and all other positions have been replaced. Mitchell, who was replaced in the middle, was young and vigorous, a little bit more fierce than his master.
Mitchell is currently the world\'s No. 1 mid-laner player in the God Wars League. He is very popular in North America and Europe. The captain has a humorous personality and friends all over the world. Every day, he chats with people in the group and chats with international Zhou Jiawen, who debuted in the service, has a very good relationship.
There\'s still half an hour before the start of training.
Mitchell looked at Keliman from the upper unit and asked curiously, "I have never played against Tianhuan, is there anything I need to pay attention to? Is it okay to just blow up their mid lane?"
Kleiman scratched his hair and said, "I haven\'t seen each other for 3 years. I only remember that their jungler is very good. The mid laner who was very good in the past seems to be retired, right?"
At this moment, Coach Tom came over and explained: "Tianhuan\'s captain Ming Sheng retired in S6, and handed over the captain to the jungler Chi Shuo. The new mid-singer named Qu Jiang is good at toolman play."
Keliman said: "I heard that Tianhuan\'s grades have been getting worse and worse in recent years?"
Coach Tom shrugged and said regretfully: "Yes, in the three years from S7 to S9, they failed to enter the World Series, and their results were worse than ours."
S6 was the best year for the FNO team. They lost to Tian Huan in the semi-finals of the World Championship and only won the bronze medal in the end. This is also Coach Tom\'s heart. After S7 and S8, they both entered the World Series. However, the opponents who once eliminated them from the competition saw their results decline all the way, and they could not even qualify for the World Series.
It is really embarrassing that we can only meet in private appointments for training games.
Mitchell geared up and sat down in his seat: "I know, they are the wild nuclear team, the tool man is the mid laner. Beat their captain Chi Shuo, and we can win!"
Coach Tom smiled and said, "Yes. The Huaguo Division will also target the Tianhuan team in the wild area. As long as Chi Shuo doesn\'t develop, other players should not be afraid."
He paused, then said: "By the way, Tianhuan is very similar to us. The shooters and supports in the bot lane have been replaced by new players. Therefore, we will play in the bot lane and the jungle area in this game."
The curly-haired boy Angus in the bottom lane and the blue-eyed boy Allen looked at each other and gave each other a high five to encourage each other: "We are not afraid of hitting newcomers!" "That is, we 2V2 press them back!"
At the same time, Tianhuan team base.
Today, everyone got up early and went directly to the training room to prepare and eat after the game.
The five people took their seats in order. Lin Feng walked behind Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang and asked, "Which hero do you take in this training match? Are Shuangfei and Shuanglang going to play?"
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other.
Ye Shaoyang said: "Isn\'t it necessary? The rhythm of the collaboration between Shuangfei and Shuanglang Zhongjun is too fast. If we choose Shuangfei, the two newcomers in the bottom lane of the FNO team will be easily defeated by us."
Chi Shuo said lightly: "Well. At that time, when Mitchell posted the video in the international server ranking, we happened to bump into their team\'s rookie shooter and support. If I and Shaoyang chose the Shuangfei combination, it would be too bullying. already."
Lin Feng: "..."
Well, the scrims still save a little face for international friends.
The big devil combination hides first.
Lin Feng asked Ye Shaoyang: "What combination do you want?"
Ye Shaoyang looked back at the coach: "Will the training match be staged in stages according to the rules of the game?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Usually ban is played, and both sides can use their favorite lineup to train. If Ban loses the hero the opponent wants to play, then the training game is meaningless."
Ye Shaoyang continued to ask: "Will the training match be kept secret? That Mitchell seems to like to post videos in the group. When I played against Team Chi\'s trumpet in the international server, he was the one who posted it? If the lineup is exposed by him, it is not easy to choose heroes who are easy to lose their vests."
Lin Feng said: "You can rest assured on this point. Secrecy of training matches is the rule of the e-sports circle. After all, the two sides of the training match are likely to practice the lineup for the competition. If it is exposed in advance, it will be known to the opponent, which is equivalent to tactical leaking."
Chi Shuo said: "FNO shouldn\'t be so stupid. If the video of the training game is exposed, no team will ask them for a training game in the future. The lineup they get will also be kept secret from our side."
Ye Shaoyang was relieved: "Then can I take [Abyss Master]?"
Cheng Xing\'s eyes lit up when he heard this: "Brother Yang\'s abyss master, just show them off!"
Chi Shuo said: "Then I will choose a [sneak thief] to cooperate with you and give you Lan."
[Sneak Thief] Although this jungler is a wild core hero, he has no blue bars and does not need blue buffs. [Abyss Master] After getting the blue buff, the strong period can be advanced. This was tested as early as when Chi Shuo and Xiaobai were in double queue.
In this way, in the early stage, Ye Shaoyang can take the blue BUFF, clear the troops as soon as possible to support, and assist Chi Shuo in guarding the wild area. In the later stage, when Chi Shuo is equipped, it will be difficult for the two to stop the linkage.
Coach Lin said with a smile: "Okay, then let Shaoyang show off the strength of our [Abyss Domination] national uniform!"
***
At 12:00 noon, both parties logged into the international server on time. For this training match, Lin Feng specially prepared 5 international server trumpets, the names are neatly named TH0001~TH0005, and the rank is bronze III.
She didn\'t even play in qualifying, a trumpet specially used for scrims.
There is no rank requirement to enter the training camp, both bronze and king can fight.
So, after the players from both sides logged in, Mitchell looked at the five neat bronze trumpets on the opposite side, and was quite speechless: "Why don\'t they Tianhuan even have an international server king?"
The 5 members of the FNO team all brought their large size in the international server.
Anyway, it\'s just a training match, and the video won\'t be exposed. It\'s the same with large and small. Among them, Mitchell\'s account is the most dazzling, his name is [Mitchell], and his rank is the strongest king × 77 stars.
In comparison, Tianhuan\'s five small bronzes are really pitiful.
Coach Tom said with a smile: "They usually play in the domestic rankings in China, and rarely play in the international server. Not everyone likes to come to the international server like Zhouzhou. The language is difficult, and it is difficult to communicate."
Mitchell nodded understandingly: "That\'s right. Zhouzhou\'s English is very good, and he can start a voice chat with me directly. Tianhuan can\'t qualify for the World Championship, and there is no need to come to the international server to qualify."
Players from both sides quickly took their seats in the training camp room.
Cheng Xing, who was playing against an international player for the first time, was very excited and whispered: "We have 5 small bronzes, 5 kings on the opposite side, and the exaggerated strongest king × 77 stars, it feels like we are like hillbillies entering the city. ."
Ye Shaoyang smiled and patted Xiaoxing on the shoulder, and said, "What rank do professional players look at? Don\'t mind the big and small, bronze can beat the king."
Cheng Xing thought about it too. If they really wanted to qualify for the international server, they would be able to generate more than a dozen kings in three or four days. Coach Lin just found it troublesome, so he built a few bronze trumpets.
The heroes on the account are quite complete. Cheng Xing took a look and found that all the archer heroes on his account have... Of course, the proficiency is all blank.
Lin Feng greeted Tom politely on the room channel, and pressed to prepare.
The two coaches acted as referees.
Ban heroes are not needed in scrims. Both sides can use the system they are best at, or the lineup they want to practice in the near future, so in the BP stage, both sides directly put bans, and neither hero is banned.
Tianhuan randomly went to the red side, and then chose the hero.
The first floor of the blue side grabbed the mid laner [Sun Wheel Mage] first, this hero is very special - he is a melee mage, with half-meat equipment, can resist and fight, just let him move over and stick to you, Crispy Mage It is easy to be smashed by him, and this hero is more in line with Mitchell\'s tough and tough frontal characteristics.
On the red side, Lin Feng thought about it and said, "Take the bot lane first."
On the 1st and 2nd floors, the most common treatment [Forest Messenger] was selected, and it was matched with the late-stage shooter [Holy Archer].
When it was the blue side\'s turn, they also chose a bot lane combination.
Angus and Allen once again brought out the tower push combination of [Mechanical Expert] and [Machine Gun Hunter]. The pair of teenagers have been practicing this combination in the international service recently. Obviously, this is also one of the FNO team\'s lineup system for next season. .
It\'s our turn to choose.
The top laner took the [Black Dragon Knight] that Qin Yizhu was good at, and the jungler took the [Sneak Thief].
Seeing this, Mitchell couldn\'t help laughing: "They really want to play the wild core, [Sneak Thief] system, this hero will be invisible, everyone be careful, don\'t let him develop."
Coach Tom thought for a while, and said: "Take the [fighter] in the jungle position, and let the economy go to the middle. Mitchell mainly outputs, and destroys their jungle first. The top laner takes [Knife Tip Will], and then the team battle will be cut. They are back row shooters."
In this way, FNO\'s lineup system is very complete.
The top laner [Knife Tip Will] is very flexible, has strong self-protection ability, and is not easy to be caught, and he has multiple displacement skills, which can cut to the back row, threatening Tianhuan\'s crispy mages and shooters; the jungler [fighter] brings Group control, you can play tool people and let the economy go to the middle.
The mid laner [Sun Wheel Master] has a strong output ability, and the bot lane duo has a strong ability to push towers. This lineup can play in groups and push towers, and it seems that there are no obvious shortcomings.
It was Tianhuan\'s turn to make the final choice, and they were left with the middle unit.
Tom smiled and said, "They should choose [Goddess of Frost] to play the toolman mid laner! I heard that the player Qu Jiang\'s Goddess of Frost played very well."
As a result, Tianhuan\'s 5th floor was locked in seconds [Abyss Lord].
FNO crowd: "???"
Coach Tom\'s smile froze on his face: "Master of the Abyss?"
Seeing this new hero appear, everyone was stunned.
[Abyss Master] has been online for nearly 2 months. Professional players are not unfamiliar with this hero, and they are often encountered in the rankings. Most of the mid laners have also specially practiced. However, after all, it is a hero who has just launched, and around his lineup system, the major teams have not had time to study.
It was also the first time that he encountered the abyss master in the training game.
This is a tricky mid laner that is difficult to maneuver.
Mitchell looked at the coach suspiciously: "Didn\'t you say that Tianhuan\'s mid laner can\'t play thorns?"
Coach Tom touched his nose embarrassedly: "The news I heard is this, Qu Jiang generally plays more control mage, he chose [Abyss Master], is it to... practice heroes?"
Mitchell laughed: "This hero is difficult to operate, I just happened to see how he practiced."
The abyss master has a strong burst, but the defense is low, as crisp as paper, Mitchell is confident that his [Sun Wheel Mage] can directly blow him up before he escapes with his shadow!
While gearing up, Mitchell still said harsh words: "Let him feel the power of world-class mid laners later, and let him know that this game is difficult!"
Tom: "..."
Mitchell\'s level of playing games is very good, and his level of harsh words before the game is also world-class. But because of his strong personal strength, no matter how arrogant he speaks, he will rarely be slapped in the face.
He is the most "hot-blooded" mid laner in the world.
Tianhuan team base.
Ye Shaoyang still had a ^_^ expression on his face, very calm and calm.
Lin Feng reminded warmly: "Little Leaf, Mitchell is across from you, don\'t be careless later."
Ye Shaoyang: "Well, I see."
Lin Feng: "..."
Why are you not nervous at all?
Lin Feng continued: "If the pressure is too high, you can call Chi Shuo to help the middle."
Ye Shaoyang: "??"
high pressure? The melee mage chosen on the opposite side, [Abyss Master], a long-range magic thorn that can quickly change positions by shadow, is very restrained by melee heroes. Shouldn\'t it be Mitchell who is stressed?
Oh, I forgot, I\'m a newcomer, so I can\'t be too calm.
Ye Shaoyang pretended to rub his fingers nervously, and said with a smile: "Coach, don\'t worry, although I am under pressure, I will be careful and try not to stay out of the tower."
Mitchell in the training room opposite suddenly sneezed.
Why do you have a bad premonition?
