So the four people in front of WE started to group together, trying to trigger a fight.
On the IG side, Yuan Shen is now very calm; "If the opponent is very anxious, then we won't fight. We will fight when they don't fight."
So the line of troops was pushed over and the IG team began to retreat.
The opposing Minotaur seemed to want to start a fight, but they had already gone under the defensive tower and couldn’t go over the tower.
Rookie's Zoe was at the side, and while the opponent was unable to start a team fight, he pulled the Flying Star and used his ultimate. The Flying Star flew over and hit the Minotaur, taking away half of Tam's health.
It’s not over yet. After Zoe’s Flying Star hit the target, she used her E skill, Hypnotic Bubble, which also hit!
Tam can only activate his shield to avoid being killed.
"Chase!" Yuan Shen gave the order.
Wawa commented, "WE is in a tough spot right now. Instead of starting a team fight, they were beaten into a pulp. Now they can only be chased and beaten. What should they do? When Tam's shield disappears, WE will be even more helpless."
On the WE side, Kangdi gritted his teeth and commanded, "Counterattack! Just start, hit whoever you can!"
He knew that once Tam's shield ended, they would be finished, and IG would definitely choose to force an attack.
So, everyone in WE turned around together, and EZ used his E skill to deal damage. His idea was simple, with Tam and Tsar there, he would be fooled if IG started.
However, Yuan Shen had seen through his thoughts, and used his ultimate to flash and control the opposing Tam and EZ, and both of them were controlled at the same time!
Kalista used her ultimate, and Minotaur was thrown over. She was about to use her second combo, but the opponent's Tsar did not use his ultimate.
Unfortunately, Baolan was very focused this time. He flashed through, and used WQ to knock down the opposing EZ and Tam. Zoe used a flying star and killed EZ instantly!
"Demacia!" Olaf started sprinting and rushed forward, wanting to kill Kalista.
But Kalista is very flexible, fighting and retreating at the same time, kiting Olaf.
Wawa commented, "WE's teamfight is about to collapse! EZ seems a little anxious. He thinks he can rely on Tam's protection ability to play recklessly, but Luo is different from other heroes who start a teamfight. His control can easily control many people. If Tam is controlled, EZ can only wait to die."
"Olaf can't replace Kalista either. His axe was dodged too many times. Now it's a 0-for-4 teamfight. I feel like IG has a chance."
At this moment, news came that Sword Lady had killed the vampire alone.
ACE!
WE was wiped out.
At this time, Yuan Shen commanded IG: "One wave, one wave, just one wave."
IG was pushing forward in the middle lane, and Fiora TPed over to help.
In the end, WE was pushed down in one wave. Although some people had been resurrected, they were unable to stop IG's advancement.
GuGu announced; "With the crystal in WE's base exploding, let us congratulate IG for winning the opening game!"
The game was over and the audience cheered:
"IG! IG! IG!"
On the field, the IG players celebrated with each other.
Rookie said, "I found that Kleptomancy is a very useful talent."
Yuan Shen smiled; "Right, it's quite useful, otherwise why would everyone choose it?"
Theshy asked a soul-searching question; "So you chose it on purpose, you didn't make a wrong choice."
Yuan Shen changed the subject; "Let's go over and shake hands. They're waiting on the other side."
So Yuan Shen brought his teammates to WE to shake hands.
First is 957 as the top laner.
957 looked a bit uncomfortable. He and Theshy were under a lot of pressure in the laning phase in these two games.
"God Yuan." However, after seeing God Yuan, he still greeted him politely.
"I didn't expect that we would become rivals so soon." Yuan Shen joked.
"Yeah, I'm already beginning to miss fighting alongside Master Yuan." 957 confessed.
Kangdi on the side was unhappy; "Brother Tui, it's meaningless when you say that. You dislike me, right?"
957 laughed and said, "No, I'm not qualified. I didn't win the fight myself."
The next one was Conti. Yuan Shen shook hands with Conti, who even joked, "Shen Yuan, when are you going to retire? You've won so many championships, you should consider starting to enjoy life."
Yuan Shen responded: "I think I'm enjoying it now, why should I retire?"
"OK." Conti had nothing to say.
Next one is mid laner Xiye.
When Xiye saw Yuan Shen, he could only sigh, everything was said without words.
Finally, it’s the bottom lane, brother-in-law and Ben.
After shaking hands with everyone in WE, Yuan Shen brought everyone to the center of the stage and bowed.
The host Luo Xin came on stage and greeted them, "Congratulations to IG for winning the opening match this time. Congratulations to them."
Yuan Shen was told that he would be interviewed, so he chose to come to the center of the stage and be interviewed by Luo Xin.
Luo Xin said; "Now we invite IG's starting jungler, three-time champion, super grand slam, Yuan Shen to accept our interview!"
Yuan Shen took the microphone from Luo Xin and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Yuanshen."
The audience was all excited; "Master Yuan! Master Yuan! Master Yuan!"
Luo Xin began to ask questions; "First question, Yuan Shen, in this game, it seems that you IG like to bring Kleptomancy very much. In the first game, the mid and top brought it, and in the second game, you, the jungler, brought it. Is this talent very strong in the current version?"
Yuan Shen replied, "I think this talent is pretty good. If you are a player who likes to trade blood in the laning phase and can trigger Kleptomancy frequently, you can give it a try."
"Of course, if you are the type with extremely bad luck, I don't recommend you to bring it."
Luo Xin asked, "Master Yuan, you mentioned earlier that you can bring it if you can frequently trade blood in the lane and trigger Kleptomancy frequently, but why did you also bring it in the second game as a jungler?"
Yuan Shen explained; "Because I want to try out the effect. Now is the beginning of the season, the main task is to find out the version, and then try various things. This is my attempt."
The IG team had already returned to the lounge when they heard Yuan Shen's words.
Rookie laughed; "Sure enough, he did it on purpose. Yuan Shen can be naughty sometimes."
Luo Xin continued to ask questions; "Master Yuan just mentioned the new season and is studying the version. So in the new season's jungle position, do you have any good suggestions for our jungle summoners?"
Yuan Shen responded, "My suggestion is that the jungle position is full of possibilities. I hope everyone will not be constrained by heroes and versions, and can create more innovative playing styles."
As soon as these words came out, there was a wailing in the official live broadcast room:
"Stop talking! Master Yuan, you want to kill us. The situation is already chaotic enough, and you are still saying this?"
"It's over. They didn't dare to use tricks before, but now they can use them openly."
"I decided not to play ranked this week. I can already imagine this kind of monster appearing in the jungle position."
"I'm scared! Every time Yuan Shen plays a game, it affects the RANK."
In fact, Yuan Shen's influence on this game is much greater than that of the average S-League champion.
The heroes he played were played crazily during those days. Not only that, everyone was learning his playing style, which led to the corresponding heroes, equipment, and talents being modified by the designers.
After the interview, Yuan Shen returned to the lounge.
Everyone else was ready, so they packed up their things and followed Fumanduo out of the competition venue to find a place to eat.
After everyone sat down, Fu Manduo asked everyone to order food, and then said:
"This is our first game of the new season and also our first time having dinner together outside. I am very happy to see you familiar faces."
Everyone looked at each other as if they were meeting each other for the first time.
Fumando continued; "A new season, a new beginning, I hope we can have a good result this year too, come on, cheers."
"cheers."
Of course, you can't drink alcohol, you can only drink tea instead.
After finishing their meal, the IG team returned to the training base and started live streaming.
Yuan Shen hasn’t done a live broadcast for a long time, so he logged in and started broadcasting.
The audience in the live broadcast room had been eagerly waiting for a long time, but once the live broadcast started, everyone complained:
"You're just starting the show now, Yuan Shen, you don't have your brothers in your heart."
"God Yuan, do you know how I've been spending the past few months? Do you know?"
"I haven't slept for a long time. Today I can finally get some sleep."
"How can you sleep after watching Yuan Shen's live broadcast? No, get up and have fun!"
The live broadcast room was filled with joy. Yuan Shen began to experiment with various heroes as junglers, top laners, mid laners, supports, and even shooter heroes.
That night, Kleptomancy became the standard for random games. There was even a match where all ten heroes carried Kleptomancy. If anyone asked why the Stone Man had Kleptomancy, they could bring up IG and Yuan Shen, because the Triple Crown said so!
Players with foresight have already avoided playing ranked games at this time.
The next day, the LPL Spring Season continued.
Obviously influenced by IG, other LPL teams now have either Vampire or Gangplank on the top lane, mainly to trigger the kleptomancy omen.
Someone even brought out Card, a very weak hero in this version, in the mid lane, because Card's W can directly trigger Kleptomancy.
For a time, the LPL region became a special zone for theft omens, with an average of more than three thieves per game.
Of course, as the season progresses, those completely useless routines will gradually be eliminated, and only those that remain are usable.
At the same time, RNG, with XLB joining, is rising rapidly. In the regular season, it keeps up with IG's pace and maintains the second place. At the beginning, Mala Xiangguo was also on the field, but soon, XLB became the main player.
EDG is in decline. EDG seemed to have been performing poorly in the spring season, being suppressed by TES and JDG. FPX was also able to suppress EDG, but they couldn't even make it into the top five.
There is also news about the champion skin. The official invited all the IG members to go on a trip, which will take about three or four days.
So the IG team prepared the procedures in advance, and after completing all the procedures, they came to the headquarters of Riot Games.
Everyone was treated like heroes and then came together to the office to collect action.
The main thing is to let the players decide for themselves, such as the champion skin's recall, celebration, taunt actions, etc.
Of course, you can also express your opinions on the styling and matching.
However, the IG members are not professionals, so it is better to leave this kind of thing to professionals. They are only responsible for designing the actions.
After playing here for a few days, the IG team returned to China to continue the spring season.
Soon, RNG and IG had their first match!
This is the first match between RNG's new lineup and IG.
The two teams started hating each other before the game.
IG previewed the match between IG and RNG in the official blog, adding a sentence: "LPL only needs one undefeated team, and that is IG."
The meaning is very clear, to break RNG's unbeaten streak.
At the same time, RNG also announced the match between IG and RNG on its official blog.
The poster they previewed is very interesting. The background is a bleeding throne, the crown has fallen to the ground, and a challenger holding a long sword is about to pick up the crown from the ground.
Attached text: "The old king is dead, and the new king should be established!"
RNG has big ambitions and wants to end IG's dominance.
Of course, there is no deep hatred between the two clubs.
The main purpose is to liven up the atmosphere and mobilize the enthusiasm of the fans.
Immediately afterwards, RNG also released XLB's data on the official blog, and all the data looked pretty good.
In comparison, Ning Wang's data looks a little better, especially in terms of KDA and number of deaths.
Ning Wang's number of deaths ranks first among junglers.
Normally this is impossible, because IG is the number one team. Logically, all the players' data should not be too bad. Even if a loser is in the number one team, his data will definitely be among the best in that position.
It's a pity that Ning Wang is not a lazy guy. He is the rhythm engine and the team-destroying engine, so he can die easily. He either dies by making military achievements or dies with his teammates.
As for why Yuan Shen’s data is not used, Yuan Shen has not been on the field since the opening game, and Ning Wang has been playing all the time.
The minimum requirement for statistical data is three games. If it is less than three games, it will have no statistical value.
Yuan Shen's situation is obviously of no statistical value.
Of course, this is also the reason why RNG dares to compare data. If Yuan Shen really played three games, his data can be compared, and you RNG will not compare data.
After this operation, fans of both sides were really excited and were paying attention to this game.
A few days passed quickly.
LPL game scene, in IG's lounge.
The IG members are waiting for the death match to begin.
Suddenly, Baolan, who was looking at her phone, exclaimed;
"RNG has never lost before? They are so good?"
Rookie said, "We haven't lost either."
Baolan nodded; "Yeah, so they all said online that RNG and IG's unbeaten streak must be broken today."
Yuan Shen responded, "That's normal. RNG has a new jungler. The jungler is the position that can benefit the most from the novice bonus period."
Baolan was puzzled; "Newbie bonus period? What does that mean? Is there such a thing?"
Yuan Shen explained, "The so-called novice bonus period is when a new player joins the LPL, because no one knows how he played in the past and there is not enough information, so no one knows how to deal with him."
"If the player's playing style is tricky and rare, he can take advantage of the novice bonus period and catch the opponent off guard. However, as the opponent gets to know him better, this bonus will quickly disappear."
"The jungler position is the easiest to reap this bonus because people don't know your GANK routes, your habits, your hero pool. If there are other big brothers in your team to target, then this bonus will be even more delicious." (End of this chapter)
