Snoopeh's thoughts on LCS as a Player & Spectator - what's yours with week 2
about to start?
Snoopeh作為一個玩家和觀眾的立場對LCS的一些想法--在第二週賽程即將開始的現在，
你有什麼想法嗎？




With the next week of LCS kicking off, I wanted to share my thoughts and hear
yours! (I split it into two parts, as there are two observations to make ;) I
know its pretty long, but I had a lot to say :P)
隨著LCS第二週賽程即將開打，我想分享一些我的想法。（我分成了兩個部分，所以會
有兩種觀點。這會有點長，但是我有很多想說的:P）

My thoughts as one of the professional players taking part in the LCS :
作為一個參與LCS職業玩家的職業玩家的想法：

Throughout the month of January I had been pretty busy, for almost 3 weeks I
had been unavailable to play. I was recovering from LASIK Surgery, went to Las
Vegas to meet with Evil Geniuses management and shoot a promotion video, then
spent around 10 days in Los Angeles watching the LCS Qualifiers and S3
Promotion Video.
一月我都很忙，有接近三週的時間完全沒辦法玩。我當時正在從雷射視力矯正手術中
復原，前往拉斯維加斯跟EG官方碰面並且拍一支宣傳影片、然後在洛杉磯看了LCS資格
賽以及拍了S3宣傳影片。

Shooting that S3 Promotion video was loads of fun, I loved how it came off and
how involved all of the players got into trying to convey the spirit of
competition in a more traditional manner (a race) – was nice to spend time
with the guys outside of competing against them (one of the strengths of the
league community is the friendship within the professional scene).
拍S3宣傳影片其實很有趣。我很喜歡他的拍法，把很多玩家一起拍進去並且嘗試用傳
統的方法去表現競爭的精神（一場賽跑）。跟他們一起在比賽之外相處很棒。（LoL
社群其中一個優點就在於職業玩家間的友情）

We had some complications with our apartment and internet which led to us being
a lot less prepared for our first week in LCS as we had hoped, especially
against one of our biggest rivals Gambit Gaming. However on Friday, the day
before the game we knuckled down until 4am preparing a strategy for that
specific game.. which we actually didn't get to use during the game as they did
not pick/ban as expected which left us reverting to an old team comp which we
haven't ran since Season 2 but knew very well how strong it is – consequently
taking the game much more comfortably than we thought we would.
我們在我們的公寓和網路上遭遇了一些問題，讓我們對LCS第一週的準備比原本預期的
要少很多，特別是面對我們最大的勁敵之一Gambit Gaming。但是在週五，比賽前一天
，我們為了這場特別的比賽練習戰術練到四點...結果卻沒機會用到。他們並沒有如我
們預期般的選/禁角，這讓我們回去打我們自從S2之後就在也沒有跑過的原本的戰術組
合，我們了解這個戰術的優勢，結果我們比預期的要更輕鬆的拿下了這場比賽。

Going onto Day Two we were up against Copenhagen Wolves & SK Gaming – the
first game we took quite convincingly however the second game was much more of
a struggle and we knew it was going to be.. as from scrims we recognised SK
Gaming to be one of our toughest opponents at least for the start of LCS. We
actually ended up using a strategy against SK Gaming which we had only
theorised about, never actually put into practice and that was our biggest
downfall – our early aggression allowed us to secure an early advantage
picking up 3 buffs and an early tower.. however as we hadn't been able to use
this strategy in a game and only in theory after claiming that early advantage
we were unsure how to capitalize and secure the win. As such SK Gaming just had
to stall and our early team comp would be out scaled by there more late game
focused one which benefited strongly from itemisation (randuins/armor/health
stacking!) and as such we lost the game.
到了第二天我們面對Copenhagen Wolves和SK Gaming--第一場我們比較輕鬆的拿下，但
是第二場就打的困難許多，而我們也預期的到，因為從團練的時候我們就了解SK至少在
LCS開季這段時間會是最難纏的對手。我們對SK的戰術實際上我們只有在理論上討論過，
並沒有實際拿來練習，而這也是我們最後輸掉的最後原因。我們前期的侵略打法讓我們
得到了一些前期優勢，拿了三個Buff和一座塔，但是我們對於這個戰術只有理論上討論
過，並沒有實際練習，在得到前期優勢之後我們不太知道要怎麼利用這個優勢來確保勝
利。而SK只需要撐到後期，就可以利用他們吃裝係數的優勢來擊敗我們這樣的前期英雄
組合，所以我們輸了這場比賽。

I am loving the format of the season – being a best of 1 in which every team
knows if they are blue or purple heading into the game is going to help to
develop very elaborate and innovative strategies, our level one against SK
Gaming is a prime example of new strategies which we haven't done before but
are experimenting with on a weekly basis. Somewhat reminiscent of the OGN
Format (http://i.imgur.com/mry0Cfj.jpg[1]  ) which we took part in last summer
– even though that was tournament knock-out format and not a league format..
every week-two weeks we were building towards this one set of games which kept
us on our toes, kept us practising much more intensely than the 5 weeks leading
up to an IPL or an IEM (where you would typically only step up practice 1-2
weeks before the tournament). This is going to help create a much higher
standard of play and level up the competition which I and you should be excited
about ;)
我很喜歡這個賽季的形式--以BO1進行、每支隊伍在比賽前都知道他們是藍方還是紫方，
這對於一些特別設計的戰術來說很有幫助。我們對SK的一級戰術就是個很好的例子，這
是一個我們沒實際嘗試過的戰術，但以第一週的狀況看來我們會有機會可以實驗這些戰
術。然而回憶起去年夏天我們參加的OGN的比賽形式(http://i.imgur.com/mry0Cfj.jpg)
，雖然那是以淘汰賽形式，而不是聯賽形式進行，但是我們每一兩週就只需要專注在一
個系列賽上，讓我們可以保持穩定的步伐進行練習，練習強度甚至比IPL或IEM前五週要
好（嚴格說起來我們只有在IEM前練習了一兩週就參賽）。這將會幫助我們打出更高水準
的比賽，並且提高我們的競爭強度，我們都該覺得非常興奮 ;)

We now have our internet fixed, but are living pretty crammed in one apartment
until the other one is available tomorrow – things aren't ideal but we will at
least be more prepared for this weekends games than last weekends games. Facing
Dragonborns first is no easy task, they play very aggressive team comps which
can easily catch us off guard – but hopefully we beat them and then get
revenge on SK for last week! :)
我們現在搞定了我們的網路，然後暫時擠在同一個公寓裡，直到另一間明天可以開放住
人。事情並不是完全順利但是至少我們這週可以比上週有更充分的準備。要率先對上的
Dragonborns不是個很好搞定的對手，他們喜歡很侵略的英雄組合，而且可以簡單的找到
你的破綻打爆你--但希望我們可以擊敗他們，然後為上週輸給SK來個復仇！ :)


My impression of LCS as a spectator :
作為一個觀眾對LCS的想法：

With the next week of LCS (League Championship Series) about to kick off for
North America (http://na.lolesports.com/[2] ) - I'm thoroughly looking forward
to seeing teams like MaRn making their début and possibly causing an upset. I
wonder if Curse can continue their dominance, silently hoping they can – as I
think it will encourage the other teams in the NA Scene (specifically
TSM/CLG/Dignitas) to step up.
LCS北美的第二週賽事即將開打（http://na.lolesports.com/）--我很期待像是MRN這樣
的隊伍的初登場和他們創造驚奇的可能性。我想看看Curse能不能持續他們的強勢，小聲
的說，我希望他們可以，這將會激勵其他的北美隊伍進步（尤其是TSM、CLG和Dignitas）

Riot promised a high quality broadcast, on a weekly basis and so far things are
looking promising with the exception of internet issues on Day 1 of the
European LCS (not public whose fault this was ESL or Twitch, but apparently the
issue is resolved now), we had a smooth Day Two and hoping that continues the
following week.
Riot承諾了高播放品質的實況，但是以第一週的狀況看來，LCS歐洲區出了點網路方面的
問題（雖然不知道這問題是ESL還是Twitch方面產生的，但顯然已經解決了）。第二天的
播放順暢了很多，我們希望接下來每週都可以持續。

Exceeding 250,000 concurrent viewers at North American LCS was impressive and
may have been mirrored in day one of the European LCS (think it was around
180,000) had we not faced some internet problems. However as with any sports
season it is to be expected that viewer ship will be very high as the season
kicks off, then it may decline slightly or plateau until the play off's.
北美LCS首日創下超過25萬觀眾同時收看的紀錄，這讓人印象深刻，歐洲LCS要是沒有遇
到網路問題的話應該也能有差不多的記錄（印象中有18萬觀眾左右）。然而以任何一個
運動來看，賽季開始一定會有最高的觀眾數，然後慢慢下滑，維持一定的水準直到季後
賽開打。

These are my thoughts as a spectator, what I really enjoy is not only the high
quality broadcast that is being produced but the stories that are being built
around the players and teams. Whether it's seeing the “All or Nothing for
Curse,” “Ocelotes Life at Home,” “The Story of the Brothers,” or the
promotion trailer for the Season illustrating the competitiveness and drive all
these teams & players – it allows the viewer to establish a connection with
the player or team and as the season develops I can see new rivalries being
defined other than the typical “EG vs Gambit” or “CLG vs TSM.”
這些是我作為一個觀眾的想法，我不只喜歡高品質的播報，我還喜歡這些隊伍和玩家間
的一些插曲。像是「Curse的孤注一擲」、「Ocelote在家的生活」、「兄弟間的故事」
之類的，或像是賽季描繪競爭關係或是隊伍/選手的背後動力的宣傳影片之類的，這更能
連接觀眾和隊伍/玩家們，希望隨著賽季進行可以看到除了傳統的"EG vs Gambit"或
"CLG vs TSM"以外的新的經典對決組合出現。
