Chapter 37
Gu Yuan was leaning against the head of the bed, wearing gold-rimmed glasses to block blue light, and writing and drawing on his iPad with an Apple Pencil in his hand.
Su Zheye curled up with his head resting on Gu Yuan's shoulder, watching him take notes.
The soft hair scattered on Gu Yuan's shoulders and arms, causing a slight itch and creating ripples in his heart.
Gu Yuan always liked this kind of tender moment afterward.
Perhaps Su Zheye was tired of being tossed around every time, and he lost his usual flamboyance and became extremely obedient and clingy, nestling in his arms like a little fox.
"Back to the starting point, do you think they will adapt to DPL's tactics or bring DCK's style?"
Gu Yuan glanced sideways.
The contrast between the styles of the two regions is obvious. The former is all about fighting, fighting non-stop for resources, and the bloodiness is extreme. Various small-scale team battles will break out during the laning phase, not to mention the dragon fights in the middle and late stages. By fighting, they accumulate economic advantages and snowball to win the game.
The Korean division loves operations very much. They basically develop peacefully during the laning phase and can control the little dragon or not. But in the mid-term, they constantly lead and switch lanes to determine the positions of the other five players, and use the difference in numbers to win team battles, or just push all the way.
Therefore, in DCK's games, it often takes more than ten minutes to get the first kill, and there are no more than ten kills in the whole game, but what is being competed is operational ability.
This is also the biggest reason why DPL always loses to DCK on the world stage - they avoid fighting in the early and middle stages, and can give resources to the opponent appropriately, and then start full operation after the laning period is over.
Once the game enters DCK's rhythm, DPL has no chance of winning.
Su Zheye restlessly touched Gu Yuan's arm with his left hand and said lazily: "If I were these two, I would play operations."
"Because we basically never beat DCK."
Therefore, DCK's style of play is unsolvable for DPL, and there is no reason why the XY double C should not continue.
Gu Yuan: “Yeah.”
"And I know XY's top, jungle and support. They don't know how to command. When I was here before, they all listened to me. Now they will definitely listen to these two Koreans."
Gu Yuan: “Yeah.”
He always knew that Su Zheye was the commander of XY.
“But it’s a good thing.”
Su Zheye began to play with Gu Yuan's slender fingers: "XY's introduction of Korean aid allows us to get in touch with and experience DCK's style of play in advance so that we can make countermeasures. This is better than only meeting them in the World Finals and getting beaten up."
Gu Yuan: “Yes.”
Su Zheye: "If you have the chance, arrange more training matches with XY. Qin Yu'an has done a good thing."
Gu Yuan paused and changed the subject: "Let's try four for two tomorrow. They want to operate, and we force them to fight."
Every year, DPL tries to use this tactic to fight against DCK, but there is too little perfect coordination between the mid and jungle, and DCK's top laner will directly tp to protect the bottom lane, so it rarely succeeds.
"Gu Yuan."
Su Zheye suddenly straightened up: "Tomorrow I want to try the Bianhua Fairy."
Gu Yuan turned his face away.
"I always feel like our DPL hasn't figured out her ultimate yet."
The ultimate skill of Higanbana Fairy is [Replacement], which means after teleporting for 3 seconds, she will swap positions with any friendly hero.
This is a very powerful skill. If used on an assassin, it can easily cut through the back row and kill the C position.
But Higanbana Fairy is just a functional hero. The damage of her three basic skills is not that high and she can't kill anyone instantly. In team fights, she can only block damage for AD and it's difficult for her to switch positions with any other hero.
Therefore, on the DPL stage, basically no professional players will choose it.
"And once you let your teammates down because of a substitution error, you'll be severely criticized by the fans, but DCK dares to use it. They're not afraid of the influence of public opinion, so they dare to try new tricks. In this way, their tactics become richer, and we in DPL can't cope with it."
Su Zheye continued: "I want to try."
Gu Yuan was silent for a few seconds.
——Su Zheye was totally unaware that he had let the cat out of the bag. This hero had just been released, so how could he know about it without fully understanding the DPL?
Gu Yuan thought about how to respond, but failed, so he just followed his words and said, "Okay."
Then Gu Yuan opened another collection, which was a table of hero skills and CDs for each level.
"When you choose Higanbana Fairy, I can choose Contractor. The ultimate skill takes 5 seconds to teleport, and you take 3 seconds and 2 seconds to incarnate, so we land at the same time."
Su Zheye's eyes lit up.
Gu Yuan added: "But keep one hand for now and don't choose tomorrow."
"Um."
Su Zheye said: "I don't know if Qin Yu'an is in the base. He is indeed capable of leaking tactics."
Gu Yuan wrote something on his iPad, then turned off the screen: "Go to sleep first."
Su Zheye responded, put the pillow flat, and lay down obediently.
Gu Yuan stood up and went to turn off the lights.
When I came back, I saw Su Zheye looking at me with his big, bright eyes.
He paused: "What's wrong?"
"Two against five."
Su Zheye said: "Let's research a set of pure auxiliary equipment for Higanbana Fairy and give you a pentakill."
Gu Yuan lifted the quilt and lay down, raising his hand to stroke the side of Su Zheye's face: "No need."
"You have no say."
Su Zheye winked at him and said, "Try to die for Lu Yang in the team fight tomorrow."
“…”
Gu Yuan then touched Su Zheye's eyelids again.
Su Zheye naturally fell into Gu Yuan's arms.
It's very comfortable to hug a boy.
The skin is cool and smooth, soft and delicate, with a light floral scent.
He always seemed to have no temperature - except when making love, when two people hugged each other and exchanged each other's body temperature.
"Zhe Ye."
Gu Yuan suddenly said, "Sleep with me from now on."
Su Zheye was stunned.
After the words came out, Gu Yuan was also stunned.
Maybe I was really sleepy, I actually... said such inappropriate and ambiguous words.
He bit his tongue and quickly made amends: "I was just saying it casually, thinking I could talk to you about training or reviewing..."
"Gu Yuan."
Su Zheye interrupted him and raised his head: "Please beg me."
Gu Yuan paused.
The little fox in his arms had slightly curved eyebrows, and his light-colored eyes contained a lively and expectant smile.
Gu Yuan understood instantly that he agreed, but he insisted on teasing her.
Gu Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Hello."
Su Zheye reached out from under the quilt and grabbed Gu Yuan's ear: "You brought it up yourself, can't you please ask me for help?"
“…”
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment: "Okay, please."
Su Zheye: "What do you want from me?"
"Sleep with me from now on."
Su Zheye insisted: "How about connecting them together?"
Gu Yuan: "Please sleep with me from now on."
Su Zheye was satisfied, and the smile on his lips widened a little: "Okay, Chief Gu, I approve it. We will move tomorrow."
"Um."
Gu Yuan raised his hand and hugged the playful little fox into his arms: "Good night, Zheye."
-
After getting up the next day and finishing lunch, the two walked into the training room.
Coach Yan has arrived and is chatting with Sui Ran.
Seeing Gu Yuan and Su Zheye, he said, "Gu Yuan, Night, I just happened to have something to ask you."
He brought the whiteboard over. "RCG's mid laner, no, now XY's mid laner, he also likes to play assassin-type damage-dealing heroes - although he's not very good at it. From last year's World Finals, we can see that if Night also plays those assassin heroes that you are good at, you can completely suppress him in the lane and make him unable to do anything. In this way, half of their Korean double Cs will be directly useless, and the remaining Flash will not be a big deal, and you two can directly cut him in team fights."
Yan Shusheng looked at Su Zheye: "So what are you thinking today?"
"I?"
Su Zheye and Gu Yuan looked at each other and smiled: "I want to practice the Higanbana Fairy."
Yan Shu said: "?"
Yan Shusheng: "Are you serious?"
Gu Yuan said: "Yes, Zhe Ye talked to me yesterday. What is currently unknown about XY is not the individual strength of the two Cs, but whether they will bring DCK's operational tactics. So we want to see in the first training match, just to practice whether Higanbana Fairy can play in the competition."
Before Yan Shusheng could say anything, Lu Yang interrupted: "You guys really went to talk about the training match."
Jiang Yiwen patted his forehead: "How could it be sex? What are you thinking about in your little head?"
Lu Yang curled his lips: "Tsk, I didn't say that!"
"Bed? What bed?"
Huang Heran was extremely sensitive and raised his head.
"nothing."
Su Zheye continued, "We want Lu Yang to be a core AD in the first game. I will try to develop an innovative play style for Higanbana Fairy, such as [exchanging] with him when he is surrounded by four and two, to ensure his development and advantage."
Where no one could see, Su Zheye's fingertips gently brushed across Gu Yuan's palm, as if hinting at the word "go to bed" in Jiang Yiwen's previous words.
"What the hell?!"
Lu Yang was shocked: "Is this true? How can I deserve such treatment? Brother Su, you can be a C, you really don't have to die for me."
Su Zheye smiled: "Just try this tactic. If you can't be the C, then pass."
Lu Yang: “…嘤.”
Lu Yang: "I must C!"
Gu Yuan turned to Yan Shusheng and said, "I think the reason why we in DPL are always suppressed by DCK is that, in addition to their operational rhythm, we are too conservative and stick to the rules. In the regular season of the Korean division, there are often black technologies and unexpected heroes appearing. They have been constantly innovating their play styles and tactics. If we don't make changes in this regard, we will never be able to surpass them."
Yan Shusheng thought for a moment and said, "You are right. Then you and Night will arrange the training match today. At the same time, I hope to hear your post-match review."
Gu Yuan: "Okay."
Su Zheye: "No problem."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Heran contacted Liang Wenxi and asked Su Zheye to open a custom function to recruit people.
Log into the DTW client, and the top, jungle and support of XY in the right column are all online.
Su Zheye casually pulled Li Nanxuan and asked him to bring in the other members of XY.
As soon as XY’s people came in, they sent a message in the lower left corner.
[Xuan: Brother Su, long time no see.]
[Real: Brother Su, long time no see.]
Even the RCG midlaner posted: [Memory: Hi, Night.]
Su Zheye had no opinion on these people and replied: [1]
"What are you doing?"
Lu Yang was unwilling: "Night is my brother now, others are not allowed to call him that!"
Jiang Yiwen: "Why don't you call me sister? No one will compete with you for it."
Thinking of the first time they met, when Su Zheye asked her to call him "sister" and said that he was "little brother", Lu Yang's ears turned red again.
He punched Jiang Yiwen and stopped talking.
Su Zheye smiled and said, "Let's try it in the first game. Lu Yang will choose a core AD, Jiang Yiwen will choose a protective support, and I will play the Higanbana Fairy."
Lu Yang: “No problem!”
As Su Zheye and Gu Yuan expected, XY was very stable during the laning phase and did not push the line. Once he saw Gu Yuan showing up in the upper or lower lanes, he retreated back to the defensive tower.
The middle road reaches level six first, and Memory goes directly down.
"Lu Yang, you don't need to use both skills. Jiang Yiwen retreats first. I'll use my ultimate skill. Lu Yang, you come to the middle and eat the plating together with Commander Gu."
Gu Yuan: "Okay."
When Lu Yang destroyed the first plating in the bottom lane, the enemy mid and jungle were right in front of him.
Su Zheye decisively started the attack, and after 3 seconds of guidance, he and Lu Yang switched positions.
Originally a sacrificial mid laner, Su Zheye had no intention of leaving alive, and dedicatedly helped Lu Yang to destroy half of the second layer of plating on the bottom lane defensive tower, and then the kill was taken by Memory.
Although it was First Blood, Lu Yang and Gu Yuan in the middle lane had already pushed down the fully plated first tower with the Rift Herald.
The 800 economy from the first tower is a big profit for SEA compared to the 400 economy when Su Zheye was taken first blood.
What's more, it is a strategic point like the middle lane. After the opponent's tower is destroyed, it is extremely convenient for our support to maintain vision.
After 180 seconds, Su Zheye's ultimate skill worked again. He exchanged with Gu Yuan, who went to the dragon pit and successfully stole the dragon but was left behind, ensuring that Gu Yuan escaped perfectly.
"Don't tell me."
Su Zheye said: "This kind of suicide flow is quite fun."
Lu Yang: “Tears.”
Jiang Yiwen: “Tears in my eyes.”
In the early and middle stages, Su Zheye had been helping Lu Yang accumulate economic advantages. Although his record became 0:5/3, Lu Yang's economic lead was almost 3k.
However, he was the champion AD after all, and he had the ultimate hero, Duke of Starwheel. After XY's mid and jungle focused their fire on Lu Yang in a team battle and killed him instantly, Flash still completed the harvest and achieved a 0-for-4 exchange.
Originally, it was Su Zheye who would not die, but he activated his ultimate skill immediately, teleporting Gu Yuan out and putting himself in danger.
The two sides were deadlocked until the 42nd minute, and this round was refreshed to the [Dusk] mode.
SEA had always had the advantage, but the economy and kills were concentrated on Lu Yang, and XY had an assassin and a head-locking mid and jungler, so it was too difficult for Lu Yang to perform in team battles. In the end, SEA lost the first training game in 44 minutes.
Both sides withdrew from the game at the same time, leaving no record of the battle.
In the second game, SEA learned from their mistakes. When XY still used an aggressive lineup, Su Zheye chose to protect Gu Yuan and Lu Yang at the same time, so that his team would have two stable output points.
Moreover, in this game, Su Zheye’s control over the new “sacrifice” tactics was even better, and the timing of his ultimate move and teleportation was perfect.
In 31 minutes, SEA won the second training game.
However, in the evening, a Weibo post was forwarded by a large number of netizens on the DTW super topic and popular forums.
It can be seen that it was sent by an internal staff of XY, and the caption is: [Dinner with chicken legs. ]
Because the photo below was taken in the training room from behind the players, and it was captured at the moment when the five players of XY pushed up the enemy's highland tower, stopped in front of the crystal, and opened the scoreboard.
On the left is Memory6/2/7, and on the right is even more eye-catching.
——NightS’s ID is followed by a record of 0/7/5.
