January 20, 2025.
Beijing, JDG home, the first match day of the third week of the first stage of the regular season of the professional league.
After 35 minutes of competition, JDG easily defeated UP and won the second victory.
Compared with the previous game, which was defeated in 24 and a half minutes, UP was very strong in this game, but it still couldn't stop the offensive of the strong team, and it was a foregone conclusion that it would be defeated 3-0.
"After watching the two games, I think UP can be summarized in two words, young." The official commentator Mact expressed his views on the game, "With JDG holding three match points, we are also more looking forward to the subsequent performance of both sides. Next, we will give the time to the interactive host Yangyang."
"Okay, the game is getting more and more exciting. The third game between the two sides is about to start. In terms of side selection, UP chose the blue side, and UP chose to replace the mid-lane, allowing the younger substitute Qingyue to enter the game~"3
Speaking of this, the two commentators outside the screen widened their eyes. They really didn't expect to change players at this time. Who is the substitute Qingyue?
In the lounge, Liang Yichen pinched his thigh hard, and the pain forced him to accept the reality.
He actually became the substitute mid laner of the UP team, and he would have to face Scout head-on next?
No, it should be a head-on slaughter.
"I was just talking nonsense, I said I could play, why are you serious!"
I didn't dare to tell the others in the lounge about the bitterness in my heart, so I could only complain to myself.
Everyone thought that TES, who won the championship with a 1-0 record, was the beginning, and they would be invincible in the Pioneer Tournament.
The good news is that they were invincible, and the bad news is that they were slaughtered in the opposite direction.
They lost face completely, and lost in both circles. Except for the upset victory over TL, they didn't win a single game, but they could still enter the semi-finals. 2
The result was naturally not unexpected, they were slaughtered by HLE 3-0.
People really laugh when they are speechless, Liang Yichen laughed twice.
It is well known that the second stage of laughter will cause trouble. With a flash of white light in front of him, Liang Yichen found himself in the UP lounge, becoming the substitute mid-lane Qingyue who had never been heard of.
It doesn't matter that he has never heard of this mid-lane name, after all, Liang Yichen doesn't even know the names of the other players in the team.
Not to mention the coach, this time it's really not Brother Bin's fault, no one can call him right.
"From the current situation, the journey of the first stage will end after losing two of the three BO5s." Head coach Benny did not feel frustrated, but encouraged the players. But why did his accent sound like that?
"After all, we are a newly formed team, and we still need to run in, but we also have to give newcomers a chance."
"Qingyue, is it okay for you to play next?"
If you have to say it, there is really no problem. Whoever plays will lose, but Liang Yichen was in his thirties when he came here, and he only played ranked games when he was young. In recent years, he has basically played two games of ARAM when he opened League of Legends.
Although my body is just 18 years old now~
The function is enough to support it, but my consciousness is not right.
Going on stage to face the opponent? The result will be terrible!
But since the coach arranged it this way, how could Liang Yichen refuse? He could only nod and agree.
After all, this might be the only chance.
For the sudden substitution, mid laner Saber was naturally dissatisfied, but it was not reflected in his expression or words.
Even if he was killed on the court, a small mid laner promoted by the second team might not even be able to make up for the knife.
It is impossible to say that he is not nervous. Liang Yichen went to the toilet several times during the break.
The announcement to go on stage sounded, and Liang Yichen followed the other four members into the competition venue.
There were not many people in the venue, and most of them were fans of JDG.
Playing away and the team is not strong, there are no star players. Liang Yichen was closest to the competition venue in 2018 when he watched RNG play against another team he couldn't remember.
At that time, RNG still had a stadium, Uzi was still C, and Wang Duoduo called on the audience to cheer for the other team during the game, but he still didn't remember who it was.
That's right, the weak will naturally be buried in the dust and will be severely abused at the fountain.
Sitting in the mid-lane position today, Liang Yichen suddenly felt the same way. Who doesn't want to be covered with honors, but he really doesn't have the ability.
Putting on headphones, most of the noisy sounds were isolated, and Liang Yichen felt everything was so unfamiliar holding the mouse.
"Welcome to the audience to watch the third game. UP's choice to change the mid-lane is indeed unexpected."
Commentator Mact began to warm up.
"This mid-lane Qingyue is even younger. He previously played for UP's second team. This kind of crucial game is a test of mentality for young players to play."
"We can see that the young man in the picture is the mid-lane Qingyue. He looks a little nervous. I don't know how he will perform today. BP has begun."
The first stage adopts the bilateral fearless draft mode, and all heroes selected by both teams are disabled by default.
For example, in the second game of bo5, the heroes used by both sides in the first game cannot be selected, and in the third game, the heroes selected in the first two games cannot be selected, and so on. 2
In the mid lane, Alora, the Double World Rabbit, Yongen, the Sealed Demon Sword Soul, Jayce, the Future Guardian, and Anbessa, the Iron Blood Wolf Mother, have all been selected. 2
Of course, other heroes may also appear in the middle lane, but there are too many twenty, and Liang Yichen didn't remember them.
As a new player who played temporarily, BP naturally had to give way. After the first three picks, Scout got Viktor, the Arcane Herald. 1
What can be used to beat this thing?
For UP's new mid laner, the JDG coaching staff actually didn't know much, they only knew that they were used to playing Ahri, the Nine-Tailed Fox.
UP is obviously a charge lineup, with the jungle Piltover Law Enforcer Wei, the top lane Weapon Master Jax, and the double lane Void Daughter Kaisa.
The remaining support and mid laner had no choice. After thinking about it, JDG pressed Ahri and the Liberator Sylas.
"Qingyue, Galio is more suitable for this lineup, but it will test proficiency and laning situation. What do you think?"
Naturally, there is nothing. I almost didn't find the third Kaisa just now. The ARAM was all roll.
Just when his eyes fell on Akali, the Outcast, Liang Yichen pointed his finger and said, "Coach, I want to play Akali."
"Choose."
The coach agreed to this question and was flattered.
But, what is the price?
As we all know, Akali is a hero that requires a lot of operation and can produce fancy effects.
But Liang Yichen just thinks that she has a W skill: I use ultimate skills! Xia array, when she is released by the tower, at least she can hold on for a while.
BP is completed.
UP lineup: top single Jax, jungle Wei, mid lane Akali, bottom lane Kaisa and Spider.
JDG lineup: Ornn on top, Monkey King in the jungle, Victor in the middle, Ezreal and Galio in the bottom.
Before leaving, head coach Benny came over and patted Liang Yichen on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, play normally."
"Okay, don't be nervous, coach, I'm not nervous."
The laughter of others came from the headset, and the atmosphere suddenly became joyful.
Of course, the more joyful part is that the ARAM goes online directly to level 3, and all three skills can be selected. Liang Yichen subconsciously pressed Ctrl+QWE.
Then he selected the E skill at level 1 in the line. How can he play this!
"It's over, UP is on the verge of disbanding, and it will probably go home directly after this game."
[Ding! ]
