Chapter 31 Top Esports' BP Changes!
"The second game between TES and NIP is about to begin. Let's turn our attention to the players' bench!"
On camera, the members of Top Esports looked slightly serious.
Ah Shui leaned back in his gaming chair, sipping coffee and constantly turning his head to talk to Chen Xiao.
Xiao Tian rubbed his bangs, which were almost covering his eyes, and turned his head towards Chen Xiao and A Shui.
I don't know what they're saying.
Meiko sat alone to one side, lost in thought.
Upon seeing this, the comments section erupted with speculation.
The atmosphere at Top Esports seems a bit tense; they appear to be discussing countermeasures.
[NIP is indeed quite strong this year; they even defeated BLG at the beginning of the season!]
Look at Ah Shui's expression, he looks like he's eaten something awful, he's probably already prepared to lose the game!
Today isn't a sunny day either; it feels like Top Esports is going to get swept 2-0!
【…】
However, the situation was not as the audience had guessed.
The actual view of the players' seats is as follows:
Chen Xiao: "Wenbo, what happened to your carry performance last game? Why did you slip up so badly?"
Xiao Tian: "You made your own 'pledge,' promising to cover our late-night snacks for a month if you didn't. Going back on your word is blatant ripping us off!"
369: "I told you picking a cat was a bad idea. If you had picked a Titan, you could have easily dodged and we wouldn't have had to watch you E in and feed!"
Another "criminal" in the bottom lane, seeing Ah Shui being attacked by the group, decisively chose to look up at the "scenery" of the audience.
Ah Shui's face flushed red and then turned pale, looking quite unwell. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I'm trying my best to find an opportunity, how can you ask me to send you a gift? Besides, it's only a month's worth of late-night snacks, I'll treat you if you want, do you think I can't afford it?!"
Maokai watched the noisy commotion from behind but did not stop them.
Having just lost a match, their momentum is low.
What's needed now is not a serious warning, but a relaxed mindset.
After the team members had finished their nonsense, Maokai finally spoke up:
"Since we lost the first game, we'll make some slight adjustments to our lineup for this game."
"Four-protect-one strategy is fine, NIP's top, mid, and jungle are tough opponents, continuing that is disrespectful!"
"369 Xiaotian, you guys picked strong picks in the top lane and went for a direct attack with the enemy, making it seem like we're afraid of them!"
369 immediately nodded: "No problem. I've been annoyed with Chicken for a long time. Does he really think he's the second-in-command of Causeway Bay?"
Xiao Tian: "You're right, things don't happen twice—we absolutely can't let him show off twice! This time, I'm going to farm in the enemy jungle!"
Seeing his teammate Ueno full of fighting spirit, Mokai nodded in satisfaction, then looked to the other side:
"Chen Xiao, you..."
Chen Xiao raised his head, noticing Mao Kai's hesitant gaze, and knew his opportunity had arrived, so he quickly spoke:
"I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. Give me some strong early-to-mid game champions this game, then we can dominate top, mid, and jungle!"
Seeing that Maokai hadn't made up his mind yet, he pressed on while the iron was hot:
"Coach, look at me, I haven't made a single mistake in the laning phase these past few games. Even against Scout's Tristana, I didn't fall behind!"
"I really want to go toe-to-toe with Rookie online. Do you think a 19-year-old like me is afraid of a 26-year-old veteran?"
"Besides, we're already down by one point. The opposing bot lane will definitely continue to play defensively. If they bring out a defensive combination like Karma/Ezreal or Tahm Kench/Jinx, even if JackeyLove is incredibly strong, he won't be able to break through. Wouldn't that be disastrous?"
"..."
Under Chen Xiao's relentless persuasion, appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him, Mao Kai finally nodded.
"Since you've put it that way, let's give it a try!"
He's not a rigid person either, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to lead his team to win the World Championship.
Since the original tactics are no longer working, it is only natural to change tactics.
Even if it's a desperate measure, it's worth a try!
-
"The teams have switched sides this game; Top Esports is now on the red side, while NIP is on the blue side!"
"We've entered the business plan (BP) phase. Let's turn the camera to the BP interface!"
NIP players' seat.
Head coach Mai Zijian was all smiles, looking very friendly.
The team has already won three consecutive games, and if they beat Top Esports today, it will be their fourth consecutive win!
They've already won the first game, and the situation looks very promising.
If we put in a little more effort in this game, it will be another big victory, and then even competing with BLG for the top spot on the leaderboard will not be a problem!
Ah! What a wonderful start!
After his initial reaction to YY (a Chinese internet slang term for online chat), he turned his attention to the BP (Baidu, Alibaba) interface and began to offer his opinions.
"The draft strategy remains the same: top, mid, and jungle. Photic and Zhuo, you two continue to withstand the pressure."
"Keep banning Lucian and Varus, these two AD carries absolutely cannot be given to JackeyLove!"
"Zhao Xin...we don't need to ban him, we'll pick him first this game and then just grab him!"
"Top Esports isn't banning it either, are they going all-in on jungle? Then let's pick... wait, Tahm Kench isn't being banned?"
In an instant, Mai Zijian seemed to have discovered some winning formula, slapped his thigh, and decisively said:
"Give Xin Zhao to the enemy, we'll just pick Tahm Kench!"
As long as Tahm Kench and Meiko are taken down, it will be impossible to break through the bottom lane.
This is the key to victory that he saw!
TES players' bench.
Ah Shui almost burst out laughing when he saw NIP snatch the ball!
"Haha, they really took the bait! They just took it without even considering that Tahm Kench might be a trap."
Meiko smiled and said, "It's time to give the other side a shock with the draft!"
As soon as he finished speaking, 369 on the first floor immediately locked in Xin Zhao, giving Xiaotian a solid advantage in the jungle.
The second floor.
Just when everyone thought that Ah Shui would pick a strong AD carry like Kalista or Draven to continue his aggressive push on the bottom lane, the situation suddenly changed.
"Senna...Senna? Topsports actually picked Senna on the second floor?!" Miller exclaimed in surprise.
This Senna pick surprised everyone, and the live stream chat was in an uproar.
[Picking Senna for Ah Shui, does this mean they're not planning to play him in the bot lane?]
[But Top Esports' current strength lies only in their bot lane; isn't that playing to their weaknesses and avoiding their strengths?]
[Do they also want to play top, mid, and jungle? But isn't that just asking for trouble?]
[Exactly! NIP's top, mid, and jungle are among the top three in the entire LPL. Without Xiao Niang, Top Esports' top, mid, and jungle would be nothing but a roadside stall, wouldn't they?]
Is Maokai planning to rely on 369 as a "Korean shield"?
【…】
No one quite understood Maokai's draft pick changes.
Even Xiongxiong closed his eyes and concluded, "Top Esports is already in a very difficult position this game. How could their rookie top laner and Xiaotian's mid and jungle possibly beat Rookie and Aki!"
Little did they know that Maokai had no intention of winning; instead, he had completely delegated authority to allow everyone to "train"!
Anyway, Top Esports currently has a record of 8 wins and 4 losses. If they win two more games, they will be guaranteed a playoff spot. They can afford to lose!
However, if the top, mid, and jungle tactics really work, it will increase our chances in the later games.
He's willing to take the risk!
"Top Esports's move to bring on Senna seems to have caught NIP off guard, and Coach McGee is deep in thought."
"Five seconds left on the countdown! NIP has locked down the plane on the second floor, giving Rookie an edge in the laning phase!"
"Aki secured the Tree on the third floor, a classic combination of Airplane and Tree, extremely powerful in 2v2!"
