Chapter 624: Mark of the Strong
After waiting in the EDG club for more than half a year, Jiejie, who finally turned 17, was looking forward to playing.
I have always dreamed of carrying the game, becoming a regular starter, gaining the reputation of the 'EDG Double Heroes', winning the world championship, and reaching the pinnacle of life.
The performance on stage was indeed remarkable.
In the first game against BLG, he suppressed Chieftain, a jungler who was also a newcomer to the league, and killed BLG's mid laner Athena twice, helping Xiye establish a clear advantage in the mid lane.
In the second game, he continuously assisted Xing Daoqiang in killing the ancient handsome man AmazingJ, and also played a role that cannot be ignored.
They defeated the challenger BLG at home and easily won their first victory after the Asian Games qualifiers.
But EDG fans don't like Jiejie very much.
Compared to the eldest prince who joined EDG in 2014, made it to the finals with the team in the 2016 spring playoffs, and created the famous Zhao Chuanxiong meme during that period, Jiejie, the second prince, is obviously much more unfamiliar.
Especially since the starch and piglet groups have a high degree of overlap, the vast majority of them do not want to see the factory director retire .
Naturally, I felt some resistance towards the factory director's successor.
Even though Jiejie led EDG to a 2-0 record in the match against BLG, the evaluation he received was not very good.
In outside discussions, it is generally believed that Jiejie is a formulaic jungler.
I didn't make any big mistakes, but I couldn't find any obvious highlights either.
It can only be considered as barely reaching the passing line.
When she first came on the court, she was able to enjoy the benefits of a new player and her performance was pretty good. But once she gets used to it, she will probably become the weak link in the EDG team just like Ai Loli, and the factory manager will have to come on to save the day.
but.
The views of Abu and the factory manager are completely opposite to those of the fans.
From a professional perspective.
Compared with Ai Loli, who transformed from top lane to jungle, who is mediocre and lacks spirituality.
Jiejie's operation and ganking are above average.
There is no lack of courage to give it a try.
The flaw is that the eyes are always on things with high returns, or in other words, they are too lazy and often ignore small things like jungle details and route optimization.
Let’s take an exam as an example.
Ai Loli answered almost all the fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, and true-or-false questions correctly, but for the big questions at the end, she either answered irrelevant questions or left them blank.
Jiejie just wrote the fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice and judgement questions hastily, mostly to get by, but he answered the big questions well, even if they were not completely correct, he had good ideas.
To put it bluntly.
Ai Loli has limited talent, and no matter how hard she tries, she won’t improve much, there is really no way around it.
Jiejie is just leading the young players to have a common problem of being arrogant or eager for quick success. It is not unsolvable and the value of training them is much higher.
so.
EDG decided to give Jiejie enough opportunities, allowing Jiejie and Zz1tai to each play in a BO3.
Following BLG, EDG will face off against the Little Lions SNG, A Shui's old club IG, another e-commerce team JDG, and the strong quality inspector LGD in the different group confrontations.
The lineup of Little Lion SNG is top laner Langxing, jungler Xiaotian, mid laner Zuo Hand, bottom lane Fury, and support Yoon.
Among them, Langxing was teased by the older brothers on the forum as a stable and filial bank. Xiaotian has not yet evolved into a complete garlic turtle, and his left hand is extremely tender.
Because Xiaotian and Zuoshou are both produced by YM.
So this match was called Brother Jie vs. a son + two younger brothers.
The young and energetic SNG was certainly unwilling to perform a show of sexy players recognizing their relatives online in public, and in order to defeat EDG, they showed enough ingenuity.
In the first game, the team used a crazy charge system with top lane Shen, jungle Nightmare, mid lane Crow, and bottom lane Vladimir + Rakan, and the highlight was the life-and-death struggle.
But EDG used the combination of Fiora on top, Troll in the jungle, Morgana in the mid lane, and Xayah + Tam in the bottom lane.
Line phase.
Despite Nightmare's help, Wolf Gang was once again beaten to the bank.
At eleven minutes, Xing Dao faced Lang Xing and Xiao Tian. He rushed to the tower to set up a blood recovery array, then pulled away and fought back, getting two kills in a row!
A double kill prompt appears on the screen.
The popular comments followed.
"As expected of you, Bank!"
"How dare Junior Brother come to the road to capture Senior Brother?"
"Nightmare is so good at catching Fiora. He doesn't even dare to use E. Every time he uses it, he controls his teammates."
"There is something wrong with this person's thinking."
“…”
Fifteen minutes later, the laning phase was completely over.
Both sides entered a team battle.
SNG's situation is even more embarrassing.
There is a 5-0-0 Fiora in the side lane and no one can stop her. Looking from the front... there is a whole set of charging heroes and I don’t know who to charge at.
You definitely can't charge the troll, because that thing absorbs your double resistance and is tougher than the Indian pillar.
Even if Morgana has a stopwatch, she can't rush forward. If you dare to get close to her, you'll be killed.
Xia...
A control-free shield, a [Storm Feather Blade], plus Tam standing next to him closely, there is no need to fight, it's just despairing to watch.
The final result was no surprise.
EDG completely suppressed the Little Lions SNG from individual ability to lineup selection and won the first game.
In the second game, SNG put out a standard lineup.
However...the word "standard" is a neutral word that neither praises nor disparages when the strength is superior or evenly matched.
When you are at a clear disadvantage in terms of strength, the four words "just being decent" are basically equivalent to giving up and waiting to die.
Defeated SNG 2-0.
…
Next.
EDG's opponent is IG, which has a 9-1 record and ranks first in the Eastern Conference.
Before the game starts.
The audience's expectations are very high.
But when I saw the starting lineup, I immediately felt bored.
——IG did not let The shy who returned from injury to play, but continued to let Duke take the lead.
Admittedly, the strength of the runner-up top laner Duke cannot be considered weak, and his performance in team fights is more stable than The shy, but after all, his ceiling is there.
Cannot pose a threat to Xing Dao during laning.
In the middle and late stages, the pressure on the flanks becomes difficult to resolve.
That’s not all.
In the two battles with IG, Jiejie performed better than when playing against BLG. He was not at all inferior to Ning in the jungle, and even slightly surpassed him.
Even though A Shui was better than Lao Zei in laning, Xing Dao made it difficult for Duke to get out of the tower, and Xiye, who was focused on laning, did not let Rookie get the advantage, and there were also a series of reasons involved, including luck.
But as a newcomer who was playing in a formal competition for the second time, Jiejie's ability to compete with the up-and-coming "second apprentice" Ning undoubtedly raised her reputation to a higher level.
"Sure, Zhao Lijie!"
The factory manager watched the whole thing in the backstage and was overjoyed: "If you play like this, you don't have to be afraid of anyone in the entire LPL."
Jiejie completely changed the carelessness he showed during the battle with BLG today.
The details are impeccable.
Completed three successful reverse squats.
If you cover the ID and say it's Kasra, many people will believe it.
“Hehehe…”
Jiejie scratched his head, half laughing with joy and half embarrassed: "Actually, I don't usually play so carefully, but before the game started, Jiejie told me that IG's Ning Mazi is particularly strong this season..."
