Moba: Peak Era

"EDG tryout?"

Chen Ziyou was surprised.

He really never thought that EDG would actually extend an olive branch to him?

There is a popular saying in Guokangliang.

……To play top lane for EDG, you just need to know how to play a big tree!

Although this sentence is a joke, it also illustrates the style of EDG.

Since the establishment of the team, EDG, which has centered on the middle and bottom lanes, does not need a carry-type top laner at all.

No matter what position, if you want to carry the overall situation, you must consume resources.

Therefore, the three-core team has always been a"false proposition" in LOL professional competitions.

Because the resources of each game are fixed, there are only so many lanes of soldiers and jungle resources in total.

No matter how the operation and distribution are, it is not enough for three cores.

Unless you keep fighting, and you must win, only after winning, taking the opponent's heads and jungle resources to supplement your development, can the"three-core" lineup be established.

……The conditions required for a three-core team are too harsh.

In the S5 season, OMG failed to form a"three-core", so the results were so poor, and even fell apart...

EDG recruited a carry-type top laner, and it was bound to let the top laner eat resources.

This means that EDG must change their inherent style of play, and the mid and bottom double Cs must give resources to the top lane.

But is this possible?

Today's EDG is not a T2 team that can't even be a"civil war phantom god" in the future, so it is desperate and wants to change, and introduce a carry-type top laner to try to transform.

——EDG is at its peak.

Since the team was founded in 2014, it has won the LPL Spring and Summer Championships. Now it has won the 2015 LPL Spring Championship and the MSI Championship. EDG has reached the peak with this double C system in the middle and bottom, and is recognized by the world as the favorite to win the S5 championship.

Is it possible for them to give up their mature and stable playing style and try an unfamiliar system for Reaper, a king of the road player who has never played a professional game?

Impossible!

As for recruiting a carry-type top laner and letting him play a blue-collar tank... Emmm, are you bored?

Therefore, Chen Ziyou has always been very clear that his style does not fit EDG, and he has never taken EDG into consideration.

……No matter how fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged a foreign horse is, an experienced driver will never touch it in an entertainment venue.

What fun is there in stirring a pot with chopsticks?

Is hot pot fun if the match is not good?

"Director, do you think I am suitable for this position?

Chen Ziyou replied directly on WeChat.

"I'm afraid I'm not very suitable for EDG's style."

Mingkai understood the game to such an extent that he understood what Chen Ziyou said without explanation.

The compatibility of tactical styles is too important.

Royal Club, which is famous for its four-protecting-one strategy, mainly hunkers down the road.

Occasionally, they will start a mid-jungle collaboration to better hunker down the road.

The top lane is basically left alone, and only carry-type top laners join in.

Whether they can get resources is secondary.

First of all, please don't die to the point where you are not as good as a cannon truck soldier.

IG is just the opposite.

Other teams have top, jungle, mid, shooter, and support, while IG has top, jungle, mid, support, and a bait.

Even the strongest AD will not be able to adapt to the local environment and must get used to the orphan style.

"I understand your concerns, but I want to correct one thing."

Mingkai replied

"We don't plan to abandon the current mid-bottom double C playstyle. Before your tryout, I can't guarantee that you will definitely be the starting top laner. I have discussed with Abu that EDG's current playstyle is too fixed. At the moment, it seems that there is no problem, after all, we have been winning, but I am afraid that the version will change... So, we want to prepare another set of playstyles."

"A set of playing styles centered on the mid and jungle"

"………"

Chen Ziyou was shocked.

He almost wanted to compare the code 4396 with Mingkai to confirm whether the factory manager was also a reborn person.

The biggest reason why LPL failed in the S5 World Championship was not only because the fans and players were arrogant, but also because the version was suddenly changed.

The world played the top jungle support and mid bottom double C for a whole year, but it suddenly didn't work in the World Championship version!

……Demacia (this can be crossed out), Sword Princess, Noxus, Gangplank, Crocodile, Metal, etc. heroes have been reworked and strengthened

……The emergence of equipment such as Giant Hydra, Bloodthirster, and Death's Plate.

Before the S5 World Championship, the top laner was basically equivalent to a"tank". Warrior heroes such as Riven and Fiora were actually more like assassins, and their teamfight effects were far less than those of tank heroes at the same level and economy.

In the S5 World Championship version, they were given a new positioning by Riot, and they were called"heavy armor warriors".’——This means that the role of the top laner is no longer limited to providing control and taking damage as the front row, but also has a new function, that is,"destroying the opponent's back row." The

LPL's failure to adapt to the version was particularly serious, because at that time, the LPL Summer Season was held very late, and the version of the LPL Summer Season playoffs was"two versions" behind the World Championship, two important versions that updated new equipment and new heroes.

The entire LPL's thinking was still stuck in the"Tank League"’

‘Could it be that the factory has foreseen the future...hiss, Zhuge Mingkai is so terrifying.

Chen Ziyou was secretly shocked, and felt a little awe for the rumors of the"Time Assassin".

Could it be that Ekko is really Mingkai's reincarnation in Valoran...

In fact, Chen Ziyou didn't know that this was an idea that Mingkai had after meeting him.

Reaper reversed the version of the top lane carry and fought all the way to the top of the Korean server.

His personal strength is obvious to all, and many well-known professional top laners have been beaten by him alone.

If...there is really a version that belongs entirely to the top lane, what kind of brilliance will Reaper shine?

For Mingkai, who wanted to win the world championship so much, this idea had just sprouted in his heart and grew uncontrollably into a towering tree. After winning the MSI championship, Mingkai actively negotiated with the club, and as one of the founders and core players of the EDG club, he impressed the owner of the EDG club, Ed Zhu.

This is the scene where EDG sent him a trial invitation.

"Okay, then when is the specific time for the tryout?"

Chen Ziyou accepted the invitation. Even if the tryout failed, he would not lose much.

"Reaper, where do you live?"

"Shanghai"

"Huh? What a coincidence, our base is also in Shanghai, very close.

Mingkai thought for a while and replied

"The summer season is about to start, and time is running out. Let's go tomorrow afternoon! I'll be waiting for you at the EDG base tomorrow."

"OK"
