Chapter 396: Targeting Me, Right?

"Eh."

"Xiba..."

"why?"

Four o'clock in the morning.

Peanut came out of the bathroom after applying the mask and saw Jin Gong sitting on the edge of the bed, sighing non-stop. It was like he was asking a question, or torturing himself.

Been together for so long.

He knew that Jin Gong had no violent tendencies and his usual loud voice was just a way of venting.

The most important thing is that as the big brother, Jin Gong is not arrogant and does not try to show off his qualifications.

"Still thinking?"

Peanut came out refreshed and politely consoled him, "Solo just lost. I'll fight back next time."

"It's not like this."

Jin Gong doesn't think Peanut is capable of empathy.

"No matter how hard it is, it's harder than losing 3-0 in the final?" Peanut sighed, "It's been almost three months, and I'm still thinking about it - are the five of us that bad?"

Jin Gong still shook his head, feeling a strong sense of frustration: "I have played Captain for more than 500 times."

He looked up at Peanut and said, "Do you know how long he has been practicing? The coach said that he spent a week or two practicing Gnar in order to help Langx get familiar with the blood exchange rhythm."

Little Peanut was stunned and began to avoid looking.

If Mai Ge didn't mention these private matters, no one would know. As Korean players, it is difficult for them to integrate into the local player circle and lack channels to obtain such information.

But just based on this sentence.

Peanut began to understand why GimGoon was so depressed. Just like yesterday's game against LGD, if they had lost to Eimy again, he didn't dare to think about what excuses he could have made.

"How long have I been practicing?" Jin Gong said with his head down: "I have been practicing for 2 years!!"

Say it.

Jin Gong propped his chin up with his hand, feeling worse.

Compared to losing, this is what he cannot accept the most. I still remember that afternoon, the coach joked that the laning in the ranking lacked strength, and he replied: OK. At that time, he never thought about losing.

"So he's a two-time champion, even Xianghege finds it difficult."

Peanut couldn't help but reveal some inside information: "Brother Xianghe is a bit obsessive-compulsive and has very high demands on himself. Whenever he makes a mistake in a crucial game, his hands start to shake and he starts to repeat himself.

Of course, most of the games don't make Xianghe feel stressed, except for the game against LGD..." Thinking of Faker sitting in a chair and cracking his fingers, Xiaohuasheng said: "Oh, it wasn't like this the year before last. In fact, it's only been half a year."

“……”Jin Gong felt a little more comfortable.

person.

There is always a need for contrast.

When GimGoon discovered that even the two-time champion Faker felt exhausted when facing Penicillin's speed of improvement, he suddenly felt less disappointed.

after all.

Qing Shen is his teammate after all.

“It’s always like this.”

Coming to the unfamiliar environment, Peanut also held back for a long time, "When I lost the first competition, I felt dizzy, but I didn't feel anything afterwards.

Am I young? I always think I can win a championship this year or next year."

“Now I don’t have such an idea anymore.”

There was a hint of emotion in Peanut's tone, "If I could understand earlier that it's not easy to win a championship, maybe things would be much better. Coach Kouma is right, self-confidence is a good thing, but being too confident is a bad thing.

When I debuted, I was too confident, so I had a lot of luck in my heart. Even though I knew some of the content was wrong, I would still treat the other party as an idiot. "

"I chose to join SKT after being eliminated that year. At that time, some Rox fans scolded me for defecting to the enemy. I didn't really have that concept. I just felt that SKT was my best choice at the time.

Then during a review, Coach Kouma said something that left a particularly deep impression on me. He said that when I had an advantage, I always liked to go into the jungle.

So just place your wards at the jungle intersection and wait for me to come in and give them to you for free."

Peanut concluded: "Of course, I didn't take Bengi seriously at that time, and I always beat him in training matches.

Also, in that BO5, I never thought he would choose Nidalee, he doesn’t even play ranked.” Xiaohuasheng smiled bitterly: “And then he beat me.”

"Hey, hey." After a long while, GimGoon muttered, "But he's still much better than me. At least he can always play in the World Championship."

Compared with Peanut's eventful career.

Jin Gong's performance is really unremarkable.

At that time, the team did not have a training group, so they had to figure it out on their own. Unfortunately, their abilities were limited, so no matter how hard they tried, they could only lose beautifully.

The only feeling I have is probably what useful lineups other teams used.

They are weeks behind in learning.

By the time you learn it, the value has changed, making your work in vain.

"So don't think too much about it."

Jin Gong looks older, but he is not as mature as Xiao Hua. He always puts pressure on himself and tortures himself. "If I keep thinking about how Brother Xing Xiong can fight against Nidalee, then I won't fight anymore.

Some things can't be thought about, they are over once they are over."

But Jin Gong knew.

This matter obviously has not passed.

Otherwise, Peanut wouldn't have raised his voice when talking about Bengi.

Also.

He watched that BO5.

The whole world didn't expect that Bengi would dare to pick Nidalee in a life-and-death game. No one guessed this option.

Just like Xiaohuasheng said, Bengi hardly plays Nidalee in ranked matches, so how dare he do that?

But he happened to be the C in this crucial game, instead of just being a pendant to take advantage of the situation.

The most amazing thing is.

When he joined VG in the spring of the following year, Bengi also played Nidalee, but he could no longer exert that kind of suppression power, and he didn't even have half of its spirituality.

Therefore, if Bengi really is a hidden master of Nidalee, his proficiency level wouldn't be so fluctuating.

Xiao Huasheng asked Kouma about this.

The answer given by Kouma is - it is precisely because it is impossible to guess that the role of the Leopard Woman can be brought into play, the suppression of the wild area can be completed, and the three lanes can be completely silenced.

They all say that the horse is too stubborn.

But that’s when it fails.

When a coach gives his players the greatest trust, believing that courage and confidence can ignore proficiency and versions to produce a good chemical reaction, do you dare to take the gamble?
The next day.

During the training match, seeing WE also practicing the stopwatch to beat the opponent, Lao Zei complained: "It has really become a stopwatch league. If you don't bring a watch, you're embarrassed to compete with others in operation."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The price-performance ratio is there."

Old Ma can understand it very well.

After all, if others have a watch and you don't, you have to be more careful in team battles. On the other hand, if you have it and others don't, even if it's not so good, you still have a chance to make up for it.

The sky darkened again.

After Qin Hao finished playing a ranked match, he took the initiative to ask, "I want to order some burritos. Do you want some? This restaurant has a lot of repeat customers."

"Burrito? I want one." The old thief didn't even raise his head. As the spokesperson for the villa, he also likes to treat people. This is a way to get closer and release goodwill.

TOP is a new team.

Guo Hao has handed over the responsibility of captain to Qin Hao. In other words, although Qin Hao is young, his attitude is very clear.

then.

Qin Hao asked in the Korean language he had learned: "Huasheng, Gongzi, do you two want to eat?"

Peanut said in surprise: "Okay, order one for me too. Thank you."

Qin Hao looked at Maoqiu who wanted to ask but didn't dare to: "Do you want some? Their burritos look delicious. What flavor do you want?"

"I want the one with the highest sales!" Qiuqiu shouted loudly: "Thank you, Brother Hao!"

"Nothing."

Qin Hao has a deep understanding of treating guests.

As the team leader, he couldn't learn from C Bo and couldn't just use other people's Meituan app to order takeout as if nothing had happened, and then find all kinds of excuses to shirk responsibility when it came time to treat the guests himself.

“Wow, this burrito is really huge.”

"There are also shredded potatoes in it. I like crispy shredded potatoes the most..."

"What's the name of the store? I'll keep it for later."

Regardless of whether it was true or not, the teammates expressed their favorability towards Qin Hao's choice.

"Yeah, I see this restaurant has so many repeat customers, I think it must taste good." Qin Hao smiled while eating the burrito. The King of Ball nodded excitedly, "It's really good!"

Everyone finished their meal at the coffee table and simply cleaned up the garbage bags. Qin Hao was about to take his place when Jin Gong suddenly looked over.

"Brother Gongzi?"

Jin Gong stuttered, "This will be a bit difficult to queue, how about we play solo for a few times. Well, I want to practice Crocodile." In this version, heroes like Crocodile who can go all in with Ornn at level 6 have a very good chance of appearing.

"Row."

Qin Hao and Jin Gong went solo.

Qiuqiu took a few glances and sighed at the old thief's back.

In the past few days, the roommate has thought it through and started considering becoming a commentator, but Qiuqiu doesn't have that eloquence. He is rather stupid and stage-frightened, and is nowhere near as eloquent as Cat.

The problem team has been fixed.

Unless Lao Zei's condition drops sharply, he has nothing to do except qualifying, but qualifying is too different from the game, the best he can do is to maintain his touch.

When Qiuqiu was worried about the future.

LCK finally started.

However, unlike what the audience expected, SKT's debut gave fans a "shock". Facing Rox, SKT actually fought for three games and even replaced Blank in the third game, letting Wolf play as the jungler.

This time.

SKT fans were a little excited.

The departure of Kouma and Xiaohuasheng to LCK during the transfer period has already made fans uncomfortable, so they are holding back and want to see the home team get slapped in the face and make Kouma regret his decision.

Finally, this BO3 was over.

Many people don’t understand how SKT became like this.

The combined salary of the entire Rox team is less than that of Bang alone. How can such a bad team play so "tenaciously"?
Also.

Is Blank serious about that state?

Both were suppressed?
Is this the prince of SKT? He has been protected by the coaching staff and management for three years. The only highlight was the five-game battle with RNG last year, and he did not fall behind...

【The team was not doing well in the second half of last summer’s season, but fortunately recovered in the playoffs and almost completed the feat of winning four games in a row.】

【Compared to TOP's debut, I almost thought SKT had more new faces than TOP. 】

[Is the coaching staff eating shit? The top and support players are all from the team's youth training. Logically, they shouldn't be strangers to each other, but why do they fight like five strangers? ]

[Wolf temporarily pretends to be a jungler and is better at protecting the mid lane than Blank. Speechless.]

[Is Effort sick? He was just trying to be cool in a team fight. Who is Xiba trying to get around? ]

[When Peanut is around, Rox can be killed at will. If the opposing jungler dares to invade once, it is disrespectful to Peanut. ]

【We were the champions in last year’s spring season.】

most of the time.

If a contestant wants to clear his name, he just needs to leave temporarily.

After scolding Xiao Huasheng for so long, the fans realized that Hei Huang was far from his bottom line. It was hard for them to imagine that the person sitting on the stage in the first two games was a human.

at the same time.

SKT club.

The manager is watching the game in his office.

Although outside public opinion has not been very friendly to them since the transfer period, fans have expectations for the new lineup because they are all family members.

But soon, his mood changed from leisurely to irritable——

He felt very wronged when he saw the one-sided criticism online against the management for inaction.

Everyone was talking about Xiaohuasheng being an ungrateful person some time ago, and saying that he should train more of his own people. He did just that during the transfer period, so why is he still not satisfied?

Effort is a serious SKT youth trainee.

All the training staff recognized his talent.

You fans, can't you be a little more tolerant of him? It's just a BO3 and you're calling him stupid. What can you see?
So when faced with players who were lowering their heads and were obviously unhappy, the manager went over to comfort them and asked them to spend less time on the Internet.

But inexplicably.

The manager suddenly remembered the answer given by his old friend Kouma: "…only the results are real, everything else is fake."

Part of the reason why fans attack Huni and Peanut is that they don't consider them as their own people.

Now the whole team is our own people.

Fans are still not satisfied.

I think a bad team like Rox is not worthy of SKT spending more effort.

Think about it, all the rhythms that have exploded in the past two years are due to not playing well.

Looking at the frowning Faker.

The manager didn't know what to say. In recent training matches, their winning rate was indeed average.

Of course, it was unexpected that they could play so closely against Rox. After all, Rox was a bottom team last year and they will be bottom again this year. This is also the reason why fans are angry.

He actually knows.

SKT fans curse TOP, but in their hearts they really want to compare themselves with TOP. Not only fans, but even the players may think so...

Four days later.

TOP defeated FPX without any suspense, with lwx giving away 11 kills in total in two games.

Meanwhile, at Riot Headquarters.

Faced with the overwhelming calls from the entire network to lower the level of Rewi Alley and resolve the Stopwatch Alliance, the designer had no choice but to respond.

Before responding.

Riot held a meeting first.

At the meeting.

Facing everyone's gaze, the designer responded without any psychological pressure: "With such a big change, it would be abnormal if there were no bugs.

Although before designing it, we didn’t think that Aery would wreak havoc on the top lane and that the stopwatch would seriously affect the gaming ecology of the bottom lane, but…”

He shrugged: "Since it affects the balance, we will change it."

It's not the first time they've done this.

"How to change?"

A voice nearby sighed, "Ever since Penicillin developed the use of the stopwatch, the secondary system is now all about enlightenment."

The designer replied: "The stopwatch was designed to make teamfights more enjoyable and to limit LGD's aggressive approach to winning the championship.

So if we delete the stopwatch, it will definitely not meet the original intention of our design.

From the perspective of raising the upper limit of operations, the most common complaint from AD players nowadays is that it is difficult to defend against tower dives, and they feel that the tower's protective ability is too weak. "

At this point, the designer paused for a few seconds to make it easier for everyone to understand: "Our initial research plan is to either increase the damage of the defense tower or extend the start time of the stopwatch to 10 minutes.

After all, the stopwatch tactic has the biggest impact on the bottom lane. If the duo is bypassed once, it is a bit hurt in the early stage, but it is different in 10 minutes. During this period of time, the bottom lane is almost coming to an end. Even if they are bypassed, it is not easy to be snowballed. "

Of course Riot has listened to the complaints online.

The most disgusting thing about the strong cross-border tactics developed by TOP is not the success rate, but that after killing one wave, they can continue to kill later, just like raising pigs.

Even if you choose to switch lanes and let the top laner go to jail in the bottom lane, it is easy to be snowballed.

Please explain it more clearly.

As long as you succeed once in 6 minutes and the economic gap in the bottom lane does not reach , you will be considered unsuccessful.

What does it mean when the bottom lane is 1500 behind and takes over the next tower during the laning phase?
It basically means that the duo cannot exert any strength in the middle.

Unless you rely on hard operations in team battles, you will lose 20 minutes of game content.

If you are the kind of player who likes to hide in the early stage and enjoy taking over team battles in the late stage, it would be a miracle if you don’t complain about the Stopwatch Alliance, because in the recent ranking environment, choosing this is almost equivalent to not wanting to win.

"Will you change the double golden body?"

"I think this strategy is cool." The designer laughed, "It does not deviate from the original intention of raising the upper limit. The team battle game becomes complicated, which is conducive to miracles.

This is better than getting an advantage and just steadily chipping away at the towers."

"..."

Everyone was convinced.

Strengthening combat is Riot's goal. Just like in fighting games, a little detail can determine success or failure.

then.

After version 8.2 was released, the designers responded publicly, saying that they had fixed the stopwatch's overly outstanding cost-effectiveness.

There is an unconcealable pride hidden in the words.

They just love teaching players how to play games.
