《英雄聯盟》2015 LMS 夏季聯賽Week 8第八週焦點
【2015 LMS Smmer Split VODs, Schedule and Highlight 】
LMS 常規賽已正式結束,季後賽名單也隨之塵埃落定。挺進季後賽的隊伍如下:ahq、閃電狼、HKE、MSE。
The four teams going into Playoffs are as follows: AHQ, Flash Wolves, Hong Kong Esports and Midnight Sun.
1. Standings
本週的每場比賽於 MSE、TPA、M17 都關係重大,當 TPA 與 M17、HKE 與 MSE 雙雙打成平局,情況又更顯膠着。到了常規賽最後一天,TPA 超乎預期地從 ahq 拿下一勝,西門卻成爲 TPA 的晉級終結者,用黛安娜扭轉了原先奄奄一息的賽局。閃電狼將咪咪蛋召回戰場,M17 的夏季也宣告結束。長久的追逐,TPA 與 M17 終究只能望着 MSE 漸行漸遠的背影,在此我們仍得恭喜這支生力軍初嘗晉級的果實。
Our final week of LMS regular season decided the fourth and last spot for playoffs. Three teams started the week with a shot at glory, MSE, TPA and M17. Our first Bo ended with a jubilant MSE as TPA and M17 split the series. Then a relaxed HKE took on MSE, again splitting the series to keep the anxiety up. In the final day of regular season TPA took a strong stand against AHQ in the first game, but had their hopes dashed away as Westdoor’s Diana carried back the game. M17 also lost their chance to compete as they fell 0:2 to the FW who swapped MMD back into top. With TPA and M17 failing to close the gap with MSE, we congratulate them for securing the first playoff berth for the nascent organization.
至於其它與第四名之爭無關的競賽:ahq 精良的團戰橫掃與閃電狼之間的競爭,當西門秒殺 Maple ,成功之門也隨之而開。LGS 在賽末終於拿下第一個完整的 BO,AS 大膽地嘗試,讓一等的奈德麗偷偷潛入敵方基地拉動兵線,然而 LGS 迅速應對,讓輔助至中路協防化解了劣勢。LGS K 在此係列賽中拿到了 5 個單殺,來到單殺排名第四的位置。
In our other series not related to the fourth spot: AHQ swept FW with masterful teamfighting, again with Westdoor’s Diana breaking open the game with an instakill on Maple while LGS managed their first clean BO win over a particularly experimental AS. LGS’s K broke the solo kill record for securing 5 unassisted kills in a single game.
Lilballz:「西門我愛你,我以後再也不酸你了!」“Westdoor I love you, I’ll never speak ill of you again.” -Lilballz, MSE Coach, ecstatic after AHQ defeated TPA to avoid a tiebreaker between TPA and MSE
2. Meta-Watch
TPA 有備而來,夜曲與慎的 combo 完美地壓制 ahq 雙 carry 的團隊風格。Chawy 帶來的無盡夢魘讓 AN 的吉茵珂絲無處可逃,黑盾與魔鍋仍無法讓 ahq 的輸出核心逃過大將的斷魂之刃。這場比賽是 ahq 本季第三個敗場、也是 TPA 對 ahq 的第一次勝利。
Against an AHQ squad that typically plays with two carry positions, TPA’s Nocturne/Shen combo proved incredibly deadly. AN’s Jinx had nowhere to hide, and not even a Black Shield with Mikael's could save him from Chawy's massive, blade tipped arms. The game marks only the third loss for AHQ this season, and a first win over the number one team for TPA.
叉燒:「中路夜曲結合了壓線、支援、開戰,此外,他是唯一一位英雄,能夠用二頭肌制裁對手。」"Nocturne mid combines lanning prowess, damage and initiations. Plus, it’s the only champion where he can murder people with his biceps." -Fluidwind, FW Coach
「蒂瑪西亞楷模」是帝王鍾愛的上路角之一,打從第二季,Stanley 總愛讓嘉文裝配全套攻擊裝、看到敵人就賞他一套。HKE 早於上週就確認了晉級機會,Stanley 決定讓蒂瑪西亞皇子出外放風一下,無盡之刃與三項之力 造成 892 的普攻傷害,讓可憐的 Empt2 命喪峽谷。DEMACIA !!!
The Exemplar of Demacia has always been one of Stanley’s favorite top laners, often playing him as an all-in assassin since Season 2. With HKE locking in their spot in the previous week, it seemed like the Emperor of the Top lane was ready to bring the prince out for some fun. He built full damage complete with Infinity Edge and Triforce, erasing Empt2 from the rift with an 892 damage crit. DEMACIA!!!
Stanley:「打從我開始玩北美伺服器,嘉文四世就是我最喜歡的英雄之一。」“Jarvan IV has been one of my favorite champions since I’ve started playing on the NA server.” -Stanley
對於熱愛開戰的選手如 Dreamer 與 Chunx 來說,納帝魯斯或許是最好的選擇。這些選手效力的隊伍,也時常在上路使用這支角色,因而能夠達到混淆選位的功效。結合了開戰、推線能力,納帝魯斯狂潮一路漫燒到韓國 KOO tigers。
Nautilus has been a staple support pick for engage happy players like Dreamer and Chunx. Their teams consequently have also been the most avid users of the Titan in top lane, which gives them a flex pick and opens up counter pick possibilities bot. With great engage options and lane pushing abilities, Nautilus is making waves in multiple regions, from Oceania to the KOO tigers in Korea.
Jatt, Riot Caster:「選用納帝魯斯上路的好處是你就拿到了納帝魯斯。」“The good thing about Nautilus top is that you have Nautilus on your team."- Jatt, Riot Caster
3. Player of the Week
33.7% Damage Contribution, 1st Among All Players659 Damage Dealt Per Minute, 1st Among All Players【BigPlay of Chawy on Week 8】
我們在 Kkramer 與 Chawy 之間經過一番掙扎,最終仍覺得 Chawy 應再次獲得此項殊榮。儘管 TPA 失去了季後賽資格,Chawy 的努力仍值得肯定。TPA 的中流砥柱於本週共奪下 29 次擊殺,居於本週第一,他也開創了中路夜曲的選角。此外,綜觀夏季常規賽,Chawy 每分鐘製造的傷害量居於全聯盟之冠,在 TPA 最嚴重的低潮期,他仍是最剛強的硬漢。分析師與電競迷欣賞他的穩定性與顯著的進步,TPA 能否在資格賽中拔得頭籌,或許仍仰賴大將無暇的演出。
Yes, we’re picking Chawy again for Player of the Week. Though TPA failed to secure their spot in the playoffs, there is no one that could doubt Chawy’s lack of effort. The TPA star player pulled out all the stops this week, leading all players at 29 kills while also innovating a Nocturne pick mid. If we take the entire season into account Chawy has lead the league in damage dealt per minute, along with being the hardest carry for the team. Analysts and fans alike praise him for his stability and improvement this season. With only one shot left at regionals, can Chawy pull off a miracle?
Chawy:「我已 24 歲,打比賽有十年了,我的反應與操作不比 17 到 19 歲的年輕選手,而是必須用腦力與經驗,賽前我都在思考當天該如何打、對手會怎麼做。」
“I’m 24, I’ve been in esports for 10 years. My reactions and mechanics aren’t as sharp as the kids who are 17 to 19 anymore. What I do have is the mental game and the experience, I’m always thinking about how to play the game and anticipating my opponent's reactions.” - Chawy
4. Game of the Week
AHQ vs FW Game 2
閃電狼開場擁有 6-1 的擊殺數、以及所有外防禦塔的領先,然而一連串預料之外的失誤讓閃電狼與勝利交一臂而失之。平時頭腦冷靜的蛇蛇過度激進地追擊,而西門的月牙刃令所有盲目的敵人凋零;稍後在龍戰與巴龍戰,Maple 的維克特分別遭到 Mountain 的艾克與滿裝的黛安娜人間蒸發,ahq 自此奠定了勝利的基石。這場戰役讓 ahq 穩踞季後賽第一種子順位,他們有更多機會觀察敵手、隱藏戰略,尤其季後賽的 5.13 版本變動巨大,對任何隊伍來說這都是不可多得的優勢。
FW started the game strong with a 6-1 kill lead, plus getting all outer turrets. However a string of uncharacteristic mistakes kept the game close for AHQ. Over aggression lead the usually cool-headed SwordArt into an over-chase that fed Westdoor’s Diana two kills, and Maple was vaporized by Mountain’s Ekko during a dragon fight. Finally during a Baron fight Maple’s Viktor was again caught out and one-shotted by the full damage build Diana, allowing AHQ to clean up the game from there. This game cemented AHQ’s position as the first seed in the playoffs, which allows them to hide their strategies until the finals in LMS’ gauntlet format. AHQ earned a valuable prize considering that teams will likely be competing in the new 5.13 patch.
