During the confrontation between LMS and LCK,
Players from the four LPL teams got a rare break and gathered together to watch today's game with big bags of snacks.
"Oh, it's such a pity that the gap between the two sides cannot be bridged by explosive seeds."
"To be honest, when I see Flash Wolves today, I seem to see the shadow of the previous LPL. It is really too weak. No matter how much advantage we have in the early stage, we can only die slowly in the middle and late stages. It's despair!"
Hirano Aya sighed, "And except for F, the other teams seemed to be just going through the motions, and they didn't look like they wanted to win at all."
"Isn't that right? Just look at their expressions on the field. They are timid and timid. How can they be so afraid of making mistakes?"
Prince Ning said with disdain.
"Creak"
Killua, who was chewing potato chips, couldn't help but slow down and lowered his head in shame, feeling that the originally sweet snack had become boring.
At this moment,
"Are these people's skulls broken?"
"It's cold! Why don't you dare to open it!"
What do you want to do? ! "
"Coward, coward, what's the point of being cowardly? Are you worthy of F's efforts?!
"
After watching KZ easily push down M17's crystal, Kasa threw the bottle to the ground angrily, got up and cursed angrily.
Even if I leave Flash Wolf,
But what Kasa wanted more in his mind was to find a place to prove his strength.
It is absolutely impossible to say that he does not have any feelings for Flash Wolf in his heart.
This time,
Watching the Flash Wolf with a complete victory record and being eliminated from the competition, his eyes were red with anger.
"Okay, okay, don't be impulsive."
It was the first time that Xiaohu saw Kasa in this state. He was so surprised that he quickly stood up, pulled his shoulders, sat down again, and comforted him: "Haoxuan, at least the Lightning Wolf has shown his own style, and that's enough. Already."
"Brother Hu is right. If Flash Wolves hadn't been in the World Championships time and time again, maintaining a top-eight record all year round, the LMS division would have been officially disbanded."
As Su Chen spoke, he put his hand around the neck of the factory director next to him and couldn't help but sigh, "Although our results in those years were average, without EDG's top eight, I'm afraid the qualifying spots would have been reduced to two by fists."
According to the official rules of League of Legends, if a team from the four major regions cannot even reach the top eight of the World Championship, they will have to bear the possibility of being relegated.
The most intuitive punishment is to reduce the number of places in the World Championship!
This is also a rule that Su Chen only learned after playing professionally.
"Okay, don't come to comfort this bad old man like me."
The factory director smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The quarterfinals are a mark of shame for him.
Although it is always said on the Internet that the director only needs to break through the top eight curse to be successful.
But his goal from the very beginning was only to be the "champion"!
"Uh...okay."
Su Chen let go in embarrassment, then asked curiously: "By the way, Nuoyan, do you know what Coach Abu and the others are doing?"
The main reason why they were able to get a relaxing holiday today was that the coaches of the four teams, informed by Abu, went to the next room for meetings.
"I guess that's the order of battle tomorrow."
The factory director thought for a while and replied.
"Then we, R, must apply to be the first to fight!"
Su Chen rolled up his sleeves and said viciously: "I have to wash away the bad breath I received in the past two days!"
"That's right, we have prepared a secret weapon. We can hit anyone with no problem."
Doinb said equally excitedly.
Just when the factory director and others were curious about what secret weapon R had.
Sudden,
The door to the room was pushed open, and a long reflection shone into the room.
"Okay, baby Su Shen, we have already discussed the order of appearances the day after tomorrow. I just want to go to the next room to announce it to you."
Looking at Su Chen in the crowd, Abu waved and smiled kindly, with a neutral voice. At first glance, he looked no different from Mama Sang.
"I got it, Coach Abu."
Su Chen casually pushed Xiao Ming away who was leaning on him, stood up and stretched, then leaned over to pick up the snack bag on the ground, "Quick, quick, quick, before the meeting, don't forget to pack away the garbage you ate!"
"Oh, I see, I still have this quality."
Xiao Ming dusted off the clothes stained with potato chips with his hands and began to tidy up the room.
"Coach Ji Xing, what are you looking at?"
Seeing the growing smile on Abu's face, Hongmi, standing to the side, asked doubtfully.
"Coach Hongmi, I really envy you for having such a worry-free player."
Abu's gentle eyes were almost glued to Su Chen's body.
Seeing this child reminded him of the young factory director back then.
How similar the two people are——
Similar strength, strong personal style, so greedy.
It would be a pity if such a talent does not come to their EDG!
"Coach Hongmi, did Su Chen sign a one-year short-term contract with you?"
Abu knocked on the corner, "Are you interested in coming to our EDG after this year?"
"Our RNG is also pretty good."
"Even if you turn around, you won't be able to get out!"
"..."
After a while,
Everyone packed up their things and went to IG's training room.
As for why you went to IG?
Not only is Principal Wang extremely wealthy, the room he rents is the largest among the four teams!
"Ahem~"
After coughing twice, and after the noisy room calmed down, the four Redmi coaches walked to the flanks of the tactical board. Abramovich was the oldest and most experienced, so he acted as an explanation.
"Today, three other coaches and I jointly predicted the Korean team's playing order and our formation."
[In view of the general environment,
After that, Abramovich picked up a black watercolor pen and wrote on the tactical board the order of today's four games between LMS and LCK.
as follows:
SKT versus F
KT versus MAD
AFS versus GRX
KZ versus M17
"Due to the strength of the LMS division...er...Casa players, I don't mean it in a connotative way, please understand."
Abu paused, and when he saw Casa waving his hands to indicate that it was okay, he continued: "The strength of the LMS division is unbalanced, and the strong team can only be counted as the Flash Wolves, so the order South Korea dispatched today is actually not the same. It doesn’t have much reference value.”
"I suspect that they may also have arranged the order on purpose. They probably want to disrupt our thoughts. If the wrong team is arranged, the consequences will be quite fatal."
Before the battle begins, food and grass go first;
The coach's strategy is equivalent to ancient logistics. The battlefield has already begun from this moment!
"This kind of thing seems to be really LCK style."
Su Chen, who was listening carefully, looked very serious.
Once upon a time, LCK teams liked to hide their cards in training matches to find out the strength of their opponents.
The Choukai of S3 and LGD of S5 are the most obvious examples.
Chou Kai's classic quote: "Faker and I are evenly matched, and I often kill him alone." It is widely circulated.
But he added, "But I feel like he didn't play seriously." But everyone ignored him.
It is precisely because we often achieve good results in training matches
The results will make the LPL teams despise the former LCK, which will lead to a bitter fruit.
nowadays,
The four teams competing have very different styles.
IG mainly focuses on the upper, middle and jungle.
EDG conventional dual-core tactics,
RNG and R both have four-guarantee-one tactics.
It's easy to say that similar teams are afraid of encountering the enemy's strongest position and attacking their own weakest position.
For example, KT and KZ's four-one point style is specially used to fight against RNG and R teams.
Although RNG is not afraid of KZ, it is afraid of KT!
Deft has a special skill in beating puppies.
Although the current state is obviously not as good as the opponent's, it is still no problem to withstand the pressure on the line and wait until the strong period on the road.
"But today's game still has some reference value."
With his lips slightly closed, Abu smiled faintly. He raised his hand and used a black color pen to mark a circle on one of the teams on the tactical board.
"KZ?!"
"What does it mean?"
Everyone was discussing it.
"Be quiet and listen to Coach Abu."
Hongmi frowned, and his team fell silent.
"Coach Hongmi, it's okay. More discussion will help communication. It's not good to scare the children."
Abu's smile did not change and he continued softly: "The tactic we will use tomorrow is: Tian Ji's horse racing!"
"Frog and horse racing? Do you mean chicken is more delicious than horse meat?"
Doinb asked blankly.
Don't say it's him,
Even if it's my younger brother and Rooike who speak the best Chinese, it's no problem for them to speak, but if they have some idioms and allusions mixed in with their words, it's going to be difficult.
"Gugu, Tian Ji's horse racing is an allusion from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. To put it simply, each side has three horses at the top, middle and bottom to compete, and a best-of-three game system is adopted."
Su Chen spreads the culture and said, "We use the dismount to replace the opponent's mount, and then rely on the mount to win the middle horse, and the middle horse to win the dismount, thus achieving the final victory."
"According to Coach Abramovich, the LCK side definitely wants to win the game 3-0 steadily, so KZ, which is currently the weakest, is ranked last and plays the role of a low horse."
"Then...who is the inferior horse?" Doinb suddenly blurted out subconsciously.
As soon as these words came out,
Su Chen's smile faltered, and Doinb seemed to understand. The two looked at each other and fell into silence.
The old thief Sima and others sitting next to him also tightened their mouths, feeling sour in their hearts.
The whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Yeah,
Since Tian Ji's method of horse racing is adopted, who is the inferior horse among the four teams?
Not to mention the selected team, just hearing the words "low horse" makes people feel seriously uncomfortable and sounds extremely harsh.
"It's broken, I should try another way."
Abu felt annoyed and blamed himself.
The four coaches are all adults and will not have any different ideas during the discussion.
But it was completely ignored,
The current players are generally in their early 20s, which is when they feel arrogant and arrogant.
Who can guarantee that they can accept their status as inferior horses with a peaceful mind?
Off stage,
Most of the players' thoughts were wandering, inevitably guessing who would be the "lower horse" team here.
"First of all, RNG and IG must be excluded. The hard power of their two teams is the strongest among us."
The former regained his form, and the latter quickly passed SKT. Both of them are undisputed.
Thinking of this,
The players of EDG and R were shocked. They all had a common move and interacted with each other.
Xiang glanced at the other person, then turned his head hurriedly as if he was electrocuted.
Compared with the summer split results,
We are all similar, and our abilities are similar.
But judging from our performance in the intercontinental competition, we won all the Wanwan teams, but facing the Korean team...
When I think of this,
Su Chen's breathing was short, and the corners of his mouth felt a little astringent for no reason.
Among the four teams, whether it is RNG, IG, or EDG, they have all defeated the cold country teams in the group stage.
Only them!
After losing to the KT team, isn't it obvious who the inferior horse is?
The vague and complicated eyes looked at Team R at this time.
There is sympathy, there is shame, there is pity...
All kinds of eyes are like rays on my back, which is very uncomfortable.
Su Chen pursed her lips, trying not to let her expression fluctuate. The palms on her legs had already tightened the material of her pants.
Last year, he shined throughout the World Championships alone, eliminating three Korean teams by himself.
But this year, has it fallen to the point of being sacrificed?
I want to defend myself, but I don’t have the confidence.
E-sports - food is the original sin!
They are indeed the only team among the four teams that has not defeated the Korean team.
The straight spine slowly curved, and a feeling of depression and unwillingness filled the bottom of his heart.
Hongmi has a panoramic view of the emotions of his players. He knows that if this continues, what will be the difference between the LPL and the LCK?
Tian Ji horse racing?
The charm of e-sports is never to retreat when faced with difficulties, but to defeat the strong with the weak! The following is defeated!
He still wants to give his players a chance.
"Coach Abu."
Hongmi made up her mind and spoke.
"Coach Hongmi, tell me."
Abu turned around in confusion.
Haven't we already communicated well? What else can we have?
"I feel that if we follow the same arrangement as LCK, it will not be the best result."
Hongmi said with a puzzled tone: "What score do you think we can most likely achieve against the LCK team?"
"3-0, 3-1 or the final bo5?"
"Coach Hongmi, the one with the highest probability is naturally Bo5. The best scenario we envision is to win two games in the first four rounds and drag it to the final game. As for 3-0 or 3-1, it is too dreamy."
Abu replied with a smile.
"Then in the fifth round, which team should be ranked?" Hongmi continued to ask.
"Of course we send RNG to the stage!"
Abu didn't hide it, and said openly and openly: "No matter their tacit understanding or strength, they are all worthy of being the first choice!"
Hearing this praise,
The puppy, tiger and others looked proud and proud.
That's right, after regaining their form, they can defeat any opponent in the world!
"I believe players from other teams think the same way, right?"
Abu said with a smile.
In fact, regardless of strength,
Who is it that rng is the only "chosen son" among the four teams here!
EDG is a Korean in the middle, IG is a Korean in the middle, and R is a Korean in the middle.
In the last intercontinental competition last year, LPL chose to send E to play against SKT. I don't know how much commotion it caused.
Even the commentators were dumbfounded on the spot and stuttered a bit.
Although at that time,
The puppy is out due to injury, but no one thinks that the LPL will not send RNG to play in the decider.
at the moment,
If it's the finals, press RNG again and switch to any team.
Even if they switch to IG with similar strength, Rooike and Theshy are both LPs
L-registered players can still cause uproar among the audience and fans.
It's okay to say that if you win, but if you lose... serving the country with loyalty, I'm afraid it will spread throughout the LPL.
Back to topic,
I heard the translator say: Abu is sure to send RNG to play.
Hongmi said sternly: "That's right. If it is determined that LCK will rank KZ in last place, why not let RNG take them?"
"You know, in this year's mid-season, RNG won with a huge score of 3:1."
"If we play against KZ, RNG will definitely win! In the first three games, IG and EDG defeated SKT and AFS head-on. If both of them win, can they move the game to B and harvest?"
"Coach Hongmi, you don't want to say, let R take the lead, right?"
Abu obviously reacted and asked with a wry smile.
"yes."
Hongmi answered bravely: "Actually, after the defeat, we have developed a brand new system and are very confident to help the division score the first point."
"And according to the rules of Tian Ji's horse racing, the LCK will definitely send a mid-to-upper team to challenge. If we can defeat the strong with the weak, it will definitely bring a huge psychological advantage to the teams behind!"
After finishing speaking, Hongmi's face turned a little red.
He knew that what he said was somewhat unreasonable.
What does it mean that RNG will definitely win when playing KZ?
Today's RNG, as long as the golden icon lights up, it is recognized by everyone as the strongest team in the world!
This is also the reason why LPL dares to play Bo5!
"Coach Hongmi, I'm afraid I can't make the decision."
Abramovich helplessly spread his hands and looked at Hart and Sun Dayong. "If we want to change the order of playing, we have to look at the opinions of the two RNG coaches."
"Sungyoung, didn't we already discuss this in the lounge before? There's no need to suddenly change places."
Sun Dayong said in embarrassment.
"Gugu, what is Coach Dayong talking about?"
Seeing the two coaches communicating in Korean, Su Chen pressed his hand against Doinb.
"Haney, the coach wants to say that he hopes RNG can change positions with us and give us a chance to play early..."
When it came to the latter part, Doinb was a little embarrassed to speak.
"That's right..."
Su Chen was stunned.
It is really sad to see Hongmi sacrificing face to ask for help in order to take care of them.
"The inferior horse is the inferior horse, and the fourth is the fourth."
"You should bear the consequences of losing the game!"
