LOL: This man is too persuasive!

Chapter 443 Prepare for the semi-finals together!
"As for the training matches, LPL fans don't have to worry at all."

"As far as I know, the IG team and the EDG team have been playing together. Of course, the FNC and G2 teams are in the same division and are not in the same half, so there is a high probability that they will play training matches together."

Wawa's "LPL World Championship Information Class" program has come to an end.

"As for the quality of training matches, the EDG team's training matches have always been highly praised in the league. All major teams like to play against EDG."

"I believe that through sparring, both IG and EDG can make further progress before the semi-finals!"

"Let us look forward to the civil war in Incheon LPL!"

In previous world championships, after the knockout rounds, unless the club spent money to find a team to train with, it was very likely that the team would not be able to play in training games in the semi-finals or finals.

After all, although the World Championship is divided into divisions, in the final analysis, it is still participated in the name of "club".

What the league can do is to organize some sparring sessions for teams within the division before the start of the World Championship.

When the World Championship comes, the training team will basically be disbanded due to various reasons, and the teams and players who have not qualified for the World Championship will also take a vacation.

By the time the S game ends, it will be almost impossible to gather together again.

Fortunately,

This year's top four teams are two teams from two divisions, and teams in the same division belong to the upper and lower halves. This makes pairing training between IG and EDG, and FNC and G2 the default choice.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, members of the EDG and IG teams entered the custom room as scheduled.

The factory director initiated a voice call in the training groups of the two teams.

"Jace, Jess!"

"Give this game to us Jace!"

The factory director pressed the speakerphone, and Ning Wang's loud voice started to shout.

As if he was afraid that EDG would disagree, he immediately added: "It's impossible for the opponent to let go of your hero anyway."

"We're not sure!"

"Okay, but what do you mean by a jungler saying you want to play Jace?"

The factory director asked thoughtfully.

Ning Dynasty glanced to the left at Song Yijin, who was sitting next to him, then to the right at Jiang Chenglu, and finally asked softly, the golden pig standing behind him:

"Coach, can you tell me this?"

The translator on the side quickly explained the whole story to the golden pig.

"Whatever."

"They all know it anyway."

The golden pig sighed, his face remained calm and his tone was a little helpless.

It is a very lucky thing to be able to play training games with EDG before the semi-finals.

This is very helpful for players to maintain their feel and gain inspiration on BP and tactics.

But again, everything has two sides.

The more training games you play with EDG, the better the opponent understands IG.

The Golden Pig coach, and even the vast majority of the audience and players, are not optimistic that the FNC team can eliminate EDG in the semi-finals.

Therefore, if IG enters the finals, their opponent will definitely be EDG.

At that time, this will become a disadvantage.

However, compared to the long-term perspective, for IG, focusing on short-term interests is now the most important. Only by defeating G2 in the semi-finals can IG charge towards the championship trophy!

After all, being able to play training matches with EDG is already a very lucky thing.

"G2 may not necessarily defeat our Jayce."

"In the knockout rounds, their positioning was basically aimed at RNG's mid lane and bottom lane."

"As you know, Wunder is known as Europe's number one top laner. He is very good at both carry heroes and tanks."

"There is a high probability that G2 will not target the top lane."

Prince Ning gave a serious explanation.

In the EDG's makeshift training room, there was a burst of laughter.

Ning is still an honest person!

The factory director couldn't even tell when he was making such an obvious joke.

From the beginning of the season to the World Championships, training matches between iG and EDG were basically non-stop.

The two teams understand each other better than any other team!
"Theshy, Rookie and even Duke are all good at using Jace. Can we not know this?"

"This Gao Zhenning is still very mysterious."

Meikuo lowered her voice and kept smiling.

The other players in the training room also flashed their eyebrows and nodded frequently, agreeing with Meituan's statement.

"Ask them if Jayce wants to go up or down the middle. If he goes up, I will take the blue-collar top laner."

Jiang Zhun was also very direct, telling the factory director, or immediately repeating what he said.

Not long after, IG gave the answer.

"Go to the middle!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhun started to think.

Currently, the five heroes Qinggangying, Akali, Jayce, Sword Girl, and Sword Demon are the most common swing heroes in the World Championship.

Among them, except Qinggangying, which is used for upper and jungle swings, the other four heroes are used for mid-upper swings.

Among these four heroes, the broiler Akali Jess is very good at playing and has high proficiency.

Theshy is quite comfortable with these four heroes.

Therefore, the BP of the IG team is very easy to do.

At the beginning, they grab heroes for the bottom lane, and then choose heroes for Rookie in the middle lane. If the opponent picks a hero in the middle lane that can counter or easily withstand pressure, then IG will directly throw the hero originally selected for Rookie to Jiang Chenglu went to play.

It can be said that the version of the hero is quite suitable for IG.

Of course, these four heroes that Theshy is good at are also Jiang Zhun's unique skills. Jiang Zhun is even the owner of Jace's champion skin.

His proficiency is only stronger than that of his opponent!

Compared with Rookie, Jess, and Akali, Hae Sung Min's proficiency is slightly lower, but the operation of Sword Girl and Sword Demon is more outstanding.

In fact, the two are equally good at Galio and Ice Girl, a functional mage mid laner.

Of course, in comparison, Hae Sungmin's laning strength is much worse than Rookie's, but in terms of roaming resources and sacrificing, Hae Sungmin does a better job.

This is also the reason why he can replace Li Rucan and remain firmly as EDG's starting mid laner.

This version is equally good for Scout.

His Akali and Jace are extremely proficient.

However, if you want Scout to use these two heroes to be effective in the game, you must sacrifice the jungle economy and even the mid-term team defense tower income, and give him a considerable part of the economy so that he can have equipment. Just be ahead!

Otherwise, even if he is evenly matched with his opponent, or even has a slight advantage, it is quite easy for him to be silent.

This is still not suitable for EDG's current top, jungle and bottom three branches.

Jiang Zhun is the team's biggest carry point. Unless he is allowed to take the blue-collar top lane, otherwise the team will definitely give him money in the mid-term. Although the old thief Sima doesn't like to suck the blood of his teammates, he is not a green leaf. He will still eat what he should eat.

In this way, if Li Rucan is involved, he will easily not be able to eat too much of the economy fed to him by his teammates throughout the game, and thus become invisible.

Therefore, Shanghai Chengmin has been a helpless move for EDG.

After all, Hae Sung Min is a rough guy. Although his basic skills are online, compared to the top professional players, he is incomparable. The most important thing is that he does not have the spirituality of a top mid laner.

Many times, the reason why he can appear in time or perform certain operations that amaze the audience is because of Jiang Zhun and Mei Guan's remote control.

"Yu Wenbo wants to reward himself with a kasha."

The factory director smiled and said: "Now that the lineup has been determined, let's make your choice."

EDG is already very familiar with being a person.

After IG selected Kai'Sa on the fifth floor, the lineups for the training matches of both sides were officially selected.

Blue square [EDG]:
Top laner Crow, jungler Rockbird, mid laner Sword Demon, ADC Destiny Master, support Braum
Red Square【IG】

Top laner Akali, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Jayce, ADC Kai'Sa, support Rakan
"IG can be considered as getting their ideal lineup in this round, right?"

Factory Director: "Just treat it as a sparring partner."

“Our lineup was really not very good in this game.”

Since this training match was for EDG to choose the lineup according to the IG team's wishes, after the top laner chose Crow and the bottom lane and the two heroes with tool attributes, the director was not confident that they could win this game. Too much hope.

After all, IG finally got their dream lineup.

"But I can't figure it out, how did G2 reach the semifinals with this lineup?" Abramovich also visited the training room in person.

Choosing the lineup according to IG's wishes, it is obvious that EDG has been simulated by them as their semi-final opponent G2.

"Kick the old master to death with random punches."

"G2's top laner, Wunder, is very strange. We played several training games with them during the group stage. This guy is not a top laner with weird skills, but he is surprisingly stable."

"In the knockout round, he defeated Yan Junze by an average of 100 knives per game."

The factory director shook his head and said: "To be honest, if it was a gesture, the result might be different."

"Yan Junze is really too well-behaved."

"Wunder, this guy, has been in great shape recently. He is even called the number one top laner in Europe."

"He is completely a letme pro+ version!"

"That's right." Abramovich nodded: "G2 is a team that prefers the mid laner and jungler."

“It’s not too surprising to pick this lineup.”

Amid the conversation between the two, the training match officially began.

There are no surprises in the early game of the Crows, which stabilizes Akali.

As for the jungle position, due to the choice of heroes, Malaxiang Guo was more inclined to brush the jungle and counter-crouch in the early stage, while King Ning made various bold moves into the jungle, which was extremely aggressive.

On the middle route, as expected, Rookie, as a good player of the hero Jeunesse, had an advantage in hands in the early stage, and the consumption of Haicheng Min was very uncomfortable.

"It's a pity."

"Bron plays a great role in small-scale team battles in the early stage, but our middle and lower lines have no line rights, so small team battles cannot be fought."

The factory director looked at the progress of the game and shook his head helplessly.

"But having said that, the current version of strong line power is indeed the most useful."

"I found that Rookie's runes are all focused on early laning gains. I can talk to Hae Sung-min about it after the training match."

Seeing that Jace's health increased by a small amount after he basic-attacked the Sword Demon, the director immediately understood that the dominance rune of Broiler Chicken was definitely a taste of blood in the [Premeditation] column -

Healing you when damaging an enemy hero (18–35 +0.2 AP, +0.1 Ability Power HP)
Coupled with the cornerstone rune Aery, Jace will not be too hurt even if he crosses the line of troops to consume, and can always keep his health within a very healthy range.

after all,

The effect of Taste of Blood is equivalent to a weakened version of Doran's Shield passive.

In comparison, 'Malicious Slander' and 'Sudden Impact', both in the [Premeditation] column, can provide Jace with higher damage online.

But its role in the early stage is obviously not as good as 'Taste of Blood'.

"This really needs to be reminded."

"I think Hae Sung Min is too conservative."

"I chose Jace when I was playing wild card in the group stage. The cornerstone rune is phase rush, and the secondary system is insight."

“The focus is all on mid- to late-term returns and economic aspects.”

"The online suppression force is not enough."

Abu also touched his chin and agreed with the factory director's view.

Hae Sung Min, he just lacks spirituality!
The playing style tends to be conservative at all times.

In this regard, he is inferior to Li Rucan.

"It would be great if it was Li Ruchan who was doing the wiring and could be replaced by Hae Sungmin after 15 minutes." This is what the factory director once said.

Before the S8 season, or before the S7 summer split, the EDG team played standard Korean operations, and their playing style also revolved around the mid-field rhythm.

However, after Jiang Zhun joined, things gradually changed.

The center of gravity begins to shift upward.

It is precisely because of this change that EDG shined in the S7 World Championship and won the LPL's first S Championship trophy.

After the start of the S8 season, EDG still continued its strength from last season, but also due to the research of other teams, it was discovered that EDG's top, middle and bottom lanes were very economical, especially the top lane and the middle lane were very economical. So as to find solutions.

As a result, EDG suffered consecutive minor setbacks halfway through the spring split.

Fortunately, Hai Chengmin's return and his switch to the mid lane have slightly reduced the weight of EDG's mid lane, while the top lane remains strong, returning the team to overall balance.

The whole team became harmonious and strong again!
"Old thief Sima and Tian Ye have a lot of work to do, I'm not afraid."

"The biggest concern now is the middle."

"Whether it's FNC's Caps, or Rookie and Ah P in the top half."

"They are all the top mid laners currently."

"Compared to Hae Sung Min, they are much stronger. If there is an oversight in the middle, it will be over!"

The factory director looked at Abu and expressed his worries.

Although the version of League of Legends is constantly changing, and the play style of each version is also changing accordingly, the middle lane is always the most important branch of this game!
If the middle lane is overwhelmed by the opponent, then the other lanes must take greater advantage to recover the disadvantage of the middle lane.

"FNC is not worried."

"Hae Sung-min can't beat the Caps in the mid-season, but at least there won't be too many mistakes."

"What I'm most afraid of right now is that IG will be playing in the finals!"

"It would be a shame if we win the whole year and lose the last BO5."

Abu is worried for a reason.

At the beginning of the World Championship, the training matches between IG and EDG basically started at 37.

But as the process continues to deepen, each team gradually finds out the secret to their own victory.

In the training match between IG and EDG, it basically appeared that whoever chose the better lineup would win the game by almost equal margin.
