Defeating VG, WE won its second consecutive victory.
The fans were happy, but both Li Jin and Hongmi were lost in thought.
Even with a huge advantage, they had to fight VG until 33 minutes, and the overall efficiency was more than a little worse.
After Li Jin switched to AD, he always had to think about last-hitting and laning. Naturally, he couldn't always keep an eye on the overall situation like he did when he was an assistant on the Tigers.
At the same time, it is an indisputable fact that the current WE players' execution ability is not as good as that of the Tigers.
Coupled with the version changes, it is absolutely impossible to play as offensively as the Tigers.
But as the C position, Li Jin can control his destiny in his own hands. This is what he gained after losing something.
There is also a big killer.
That's the incense burner.
There is no need to develop it now, the equipment is dead and the mechanism is very simple, anyone can learn it.
If this equipment becomes popular early, if Riot directly exploits it, AD will not have that absolute status in S7.
Li Jin is no fool.
Therefore, taking advantage of the early stage of the spring split, polishing the lineup is the key.
In the summer split, everyone will be preparing for S7, and they will be nervous about time, emotions, and schedule.
If we only put it in the LPL circle, the current WE is already good enough, and we can just continue to play step by step.
But the goal this season is the World Championship, and there must be stricter requirements for the team.
It was hard for outsiders to imagine the night they defeated VG.
WE's two brains will study the upcoming schedule with vigilance on the day of victory.
"Brother Chengrong, if we face a world-class team, the opponent's duo will definitely put more pressure on me. At that time, apart from making key rhythm decisions, I will naturally have less energy to focus on taking care of the team. "
"I can guarantee my performance, but if the team wants to go far, it must be more stable."
"You can't collapse in the early stage, you have to be able to play in a group, you have to train your mentality, and you can't rely too much on my rhythm."
Li Jin tapped the table: "I can't take care of everyone."
Redmi fully agrees:
"I don't think it's necessary to mention it in particular. It's best to change them subtly."
"Let them make some independent decisions in the early stage. This is still the first round of the same group. We are trial and error within a controllable range. At the same time, we are increasing the hero pool, adapting tactics, and changing the red and blue teams. There is still plenty of time. of."
“There’s one more thing I want to say.”
Li Jin looked at him and motioned for him to speak directly.
"When you play against teams that are not too strong, you can let them control the rhythm more, otherwise there will be too little I can do in the review."
"Kandi eyed you and you pinned everywhere. It's not a key match. You are both a father and a mother. It makes me tired to see you."
"Comparing WE's record last season, if we don't find some real problems, they will be able to drift quickly."
"Jin Xi, not everyone has your mentality."
"My mine."
Li Jin smiled sarcastically: "I got used to playing in the Tigers, and I haven't changed."
"At that time, when Wanghu was fighting Benji, his vision was always at a disadvantage. I had to remind him."
"I found something wrong while playing VG today."
"We were about to hit the baron, but the line hadn't been dealt with yet, and the position of the stupid chicken on the opposite side hadn't been found yet. As a result, it gave VG a few more minutes to react. I missed a few words, and the rhythm was off by a gear."
Hongmi is not surprised: "There are always omissions in the competition, and not everyone can cover everything."
"You have to give them a little pressure so they can withstand the tough battles ahead."
"..."
The two communicated continuously and sorted out their thoughts during this period.
On January 23rd and 24th, WE players were still training at the base.
We have annual vacation on the 25th, so everyone packs up and goes back to their hometowns.
Li Jin used Long Nan's words in a chat style. In addition to spending one day with his girlfriend, he would then go back to his hometown in Hunan and visit relatives. The time was very tight.
It seems that there is no chance to go to Goulanwashe.
"If you don't go home for a long time, you must spend more time with your family and pay attention to their health."
On the night of the 24th, Li Jin said quietly when he saw Long Nan packing up to pay his respects.
"Okay, Brother Jin."
"Besides, go visit your grandfather."
"The old man should be very interested in knowing your recent results."
"Will do!"
During this time together, Long Nan had a lot of respect for Li Jin.
Duo queue all night, no matter what, there must be some camaraderie.
In life, Li Jin also took good care of him.
I would share good movies and dramas with him. After daily training, we would exercise together and do gymnastics. Sometimes I would buy some late-night snacks for him.
Li Jin asked for nothing and didn't ask him to do anything.
This moved Long Nan. Until now in his career, no one had ever treated him so selflessly.
When I think about it carefully, I am far inferior to Li Jin in all aspects, and there is nothing worth coveting.
Long Nan's life has changed from the two points and one line of "Feng Yue Field → Base" to training + rich life and time management, and his life has been enriched a lot.
even
Li Jin is also an emotional mentor, life mentor, and ideological mentor.
When the lights were turned off at night, I would talk to him about many important things. At first, Long Nan couldn't listen.
But I can’t stand talking about it every day.
After that, he occasionally opened his heart and told Li Jin about his past.
At this time, Li Jin combined some ideas to give Long Nan some mental strength.
On the morning of the 25th, Long Nan left early.
Then, Hongmi knocked on the door and entered Li Jin's dormitory.
"How about it?"
"Will this kid take advantage of the annual vacation to go out and let himself go?"
Hongmi was a little worried. He had heard about Long Nan from other people in WE.
This guy has been a little dishonest since the beginning of the summer split.
Li Jin was half lying on the bed and pointed at the off-white cabinet next to the computer desk opposite.
"Open it and take a look."
Hongmi glanced at the door guiltily, and then, in the cabinet, he found a box of Okamoto 001.
"Brand new, unopened."
"I heard from Xiye that this was a new thing he bought. It seems that it has never been used. He went through the cabinet when packing his things last night. If he had any ideas, he would definitely take it with him."
Li Jin blinked his heavy eyelids:
"If he hadn't lied to me, according to his schedule, our vacation time is short and we wouldn't have the chance to spend it."
Hearing this, Hongmi gave him a thumbs up.
"sharp!"
"I heard that this kid is difficult to control, so you can control him."
After saying this, Hongmi saw Li Jin let out a long breath and couldn't help but feel his hard work.
"Don't you see how much energy I spend on him? If this bastard continues to be a promiscuous person, Brother Chengrong will help him get rid of his troubles."
Hongmi smiled and sighed:
"Being a father and a mother, fans don't see how much you silently contribute to the team."
"If the prodigal son turns back, it's not too late, and if he can change, he will be grateful to you in this life."
"I'm not that great"
Li Jin laughed at himself: "I am just doing it for myself. My desire for the championship has never changed. To help him, I am only optimistic about his jungle ability and hope he can focus on professional games. If I were not in WE, I would not care at all. These things."
"Jin Xi is so humble. No other professional player will do this like you. Even if they long for the championship, they will still look on with cold eyes. They will never be able to do this."
Seeing Hongmi's determined look, Li Jin sat up and leaned on the bed behind him.
"Brother Chengrong, it's like winter. You're wearing a cotton coat full of holes."
"If you want to avoid getting cold, it's best to patch the hole."
"So, when I was in WE, I saw the holes in this dress and tried my best to mend them. I couldn't just stand by and watch."
"..."
Hongmi kept nodding, feeling that what Li Jin said was very reasonable.
"Jin Xi, your thoughts have made me more open-minded."
"If it weren't for the fact that the time was wrong, I would really like to sit down and have a drink with you."
"Haha, wait until the day we win the championship!"
"..."
January 27, 2017, New Year’s Eve.
After Li Jin returned to Wuhu on the 26th, his family went to Jinling to celebrate the New Year with his grandparents in Jinling City.
Li Jin had seen photos of his grandfather when he was young. He was handsome and tough, and his grandmother was also a beauty.
His appearance can be traced back to this generation.
The flavor of the new year is not as strong as that of childhood, but the family gathering together adds a lot of warmth.
When grandparents asked about the professional arena, Li Jin started telling them about it in S3. This was not the first time, and the elders listened with interest.
And when his grandfather opened his mouth, he would talk about the past of killing a pig and then sealing the knife.
On January 30, when Li Jin left Jinling, his grandfather gave him something kindly.
That's a thermos cup.
He also warned him to learn to take care of his body.
"Come on, the future is yours."
Grandpa patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
Grandma stood beside Grandpa, also smiling.
…
"You have to listen to your grandfather. He knows how to maintain good health."
Mother Li educated: "Their bodies are very strong, they can travel freely, and they have no disease or harm. They are much better than your grandparents."
Li Jin hummed.
In 2015, he did not go to Tallahassee with SKT because his grandfather was sick and he returned home to visit.
Taking advantage of their vacation, they visited two other elderly people.
By the time Li Jin returned to the WE base in Magic City, it was already February 3, which happened to be the first day after the legal holiday.
WE was very active and the whole team arrived to start training.
Li Jin worked with Hongmi to hone tactics.
On February 12th, WE ushered in its first game after the new year.
The opponent is GT, currently ranked last in Group B.
In the first game, WE selected Titan, Mantis, Kassadin, Ice + Female Gun.
GT is Kled, Fist Girl, Enchantress, Policewoman + Zyra.
The strength of GT is there. The AD on the opposite lane is xubin, and it is easy to mistake him for buxin.
The god of the secondary league, now facing the god of luck, is about the same as the scorpion Lailai versus the shark giant.
GT was at a disadvantage in the bottom lane. After a wave of active TP captures by 957, the combination of xubin and Soulmate both died.
The WE duo reached level 6 first.
Li Jin shot the female police officer with an arrow and used the female gun's ultimate move to recreate the famous scene in the world competition, which made the audience excited.
After exploding from the bottom lane, Li Jin played according to a normal AD thinking.
During the operation, he did not continue to direct, which indeed exposed some problems.
This will be Redmi’s review material.
However, GT still struggled, and Republic in the middle was defeated by Xiye + Long Nan, and Game 1 did not last until 30 minutes.
These people are tougher than NB.
If the lineup does not change, we will play Game 2 again.
If GT doesn’t change, WE will naturally not be afraid.
This time, the rhythm of GT changed. The enchantress in the middle was not playing with Xiye, so she ran to catch her. Jin Gong, who was on the road, was more cautious than in the previous game and did not let Long Nan catch the teleport. Jungler Xiaoyu was busy, and quickly reached 6 to give himself a headlock.
GT used the correct method to push the game to 35 minutes, with both sides losing ground.
Finally, in the dragon group, 957 came to his senses. The Titan no longer hooked into the crowd, but instead protected the ice.
When WE's female gunner was killed first by Kled + Enchantress, Boxing Girl locked her head on the ice, but with the protection of Titan, Pi City Law Enforcement Officer was killed by Li Jin's A.
Mantis and Kassadin entered the scene, and Long Nan's invisibility + Xiye's golden body and ultimate skills delayed a lot of time.
Under the protection of Titan, Han Bing achieved three kills with full output!
WE won the team battle with 3 for 5.
The resurrection took a long time. Li Jin and 957 went directly from the bottom lane with super soldiers and exploded the crystal hub when all GT members were revived and rushed out of the spring.
WE won three consecutive victories and became the first in Group B.
After returning to the base, Hongmi started review mode.
957. Long Nan, Xiao Duan, Xi Ye, these people were all named.
Looking at the footage in slow playback, everyone has no objections to Redmi’s guidance.
Although the game was more difficult than the first round, Li Jin looked at the review screen and felt that the method was right.
The problems of the team members should be exposed as early as possible, rather than waiting until they have no energy to direct.
Li Jin finally figured out the role change from the Tigers to WE.
February 16th.
WE met QG, with Kabe, Clid, and Doinb in the upper, middle and jungle opposite them. These three teams were stronger than the three teams they had encountered before.
Poison Coin's Chinese is very good, and the QG team has no problem communicating.
However, this does not prevent Candyseven and Nuoxia from holding back the bottom lane.
In Game 1, due to an explosion in the bottom lane, Candyseven's Wheel Mom finished 0/8/2 in one game, and Li Jin's Policewoman got 11 kills.
Losing high ground early made the game lose suspense.
In the second game, QG's bottom lane became much more clumsy. Clid seized the opportunity and cooperated with Doinb to get first blood from Xiye.
Surrounding the midfield wandering mage + blind monk, QG hit Xiye's plane until it exploded.
The game quickly entered the snowball rhythm of QG's midfielder linkage.
Doinb led the team to give WE its first defeat of the season in 32 minutes.
Game3 decider.
Li Jin took over the baton and first established the bottom lane advantage while Candyseven continued to retreat.
Then start mid-term operations with QG.
Relying on the equipment level advantage on the lower route, QG was often at a disadvantage when colliding with WE in operation.
In the end, Doinb's Karma became increasingly weak due to a severe lack of AD damage.
A slap failed, and QG lost the baron at 25 minutes and 8 seconds.
The game ended in 28 minutes.
After returning to the base, Hongmi looked at it horizontally and vertically, and it was safest to stay in the game.
Regardless of his advantages and disadvantages, Li Jin can always produce the stable output that only a top AD can have.
Losing that small game was very good material, allowing the WE players to recognize their own problems and not become arrogant because of the winning streak.
There is only one final match left in Group B.
"EDG is second in Group B. They only lost one game to NB and are in good shape."
"We lost to EDG and lost the top spot in the group."
"Jin Xi, you have to go all out, this is not an experience baby."
"I am very sure of that."
Li Jin's smile was filled with anticipation.
According to the news released by the EDG team, the director is about to make his debut in the new season.
In his mind, a magical note could not help but sound
"Seven, Seven~Seven! Seven! Seven~!"
