Chapter 404 1v1 Real Man

The next day.

A BO7 was played.

The old thief no longer feels like he has any energy left.

Not to mention him, Lao Ma was now slumped in the gaming chair, and only the sound of his breathing could be heard.

“I feel like I haven’t gotten out of the New Year atmosphere.”

The old thief said.

This Spring Festival can be considered comfortable.

Compared to when he just left the team, he finally knew the goal and direction to move forward. At the same time, as the competition and training team intervened in the training plan, Lao Zei finally realized how much time he had wasted in the past few years.

Sometimes he would think that if he knew how to watch the line during the M3 period, perhaps his achievements would be different, and he might even have followed the team to the World Championship.

People outside said that he lost his smile because of the support of Pantheon with shield and control.

But he was pretty bad at that time.

In fact, in many games, as long as you don't give up in the bottom lane and make up some damage in team fights, you can win.

and so.

You have to say that he became autistic because of being beaten.

Looper is more qualified to say this.

It is with such apologies that I express my feelings.

During this Chinese New Year, he did not go out to visit relatives, but played hard on the Korean server to keep up with his skills. He had wasted too much time, and if he didn't work harder, he would not be qualified to be a teammate with Qin Hao.

He has already tricked a world champion.

Are we going to pit another FMVP?

"call."

Lao Ma paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "Hey, Brother Hao, did you guys practice like this last year?"

Before he started playing professionally, he had inquired about youth training life. At that time, he thought it was not bad. Apart from the requirement of Korean server score, if you didn't reach the score within a certain period of time, you would be automatically eliminated. The rest was to arrange your own time.

Now that he’s playing professionally, he thinks the initial period before the New Year was tiring enough, with him basically playing in duos and reviewing games every day… But he understands it, after all, he and Lao Zei are not familiar with each other, and more practice will help them develop tacit understanding.

As a result, after the Chinese New Year, we often meet up for BO7, and the intensity is even higher than before. You know, the pace of ranked games is not as tight as training games, and the concentration of input is different.

How tiring it is to concentrate on playing a game.

Those who have experienced it will understand.

"Yes."

Qin Hao pointed to the table on the wall behind him and said, "Even the schedule is the same."

"No wonder you're in such good shape..." Lao Ma slumped his shoulders, looking completely devoid of any aura.

Lao Zei chuckled and said, "Big Dog told me that he was numb from training during the MSI period."

Qin Hao neither denied nor nodded, "When I went on stage and held the trophy, I felt it was worth it to do it again." This was what Qin Hao really thought.

No matter how boring.

The moment I stood on the stage and enjoyed the applause, I felt it was worth it.

Seeing that Lao Ma looked so weak, Qin Hao stood up and helped pour two glasses of water.

"As long as you don't think too much, time will pass quickly." This is Qin Hao's experience. He relies on this trick to practice in the simulation space. When you calm down and enter the position state, your perception of fatigue will decrease.

"No, I'll do it myself." Seeing the cup of water handed over, Lao Ma was a little panicked. He was a newcomer, how could he let the FMVP pour water for him. If this was posted online, he would be criticized for a week.

"He's making so many noises just drinking water." Qin Hao really couldn't understand Lao Ma's train of thought. They were all teammates, was there any need to be so distant?
One cup for Lao Ma.

One cup for the old thief.

When Qin Hao went to the water dispenser for the second time, the team leader had already answered the call.

Sitting in his seat, Peanut took the paper cup handed to him by Qin Hao and recalled an event last year where Xiang He bought a can of Coke and everyone shared it.

That's strange too.

It was obviously childish, but until now, Peanut still thinks that the can of Coke that Faker bought tastes extra delicious.

Just like this moment.

Peanut took a sip of water and squinted his eyes comfortably. After several hours of concentration, he was indeed not that tired anymore.

Then Peanut looked up and saw that the big fool Jin Gong had touched Qin Hao's neck!
"Thank you."

Jin Gong's Mandarin has a slight kimchi flavor, but it doesn't affect it.

Qin Hao has never enjoyed this.

Being grabbed by Jin Gong's big hand, he felt a bit stiff. But he didn't see the teasing in Jin Gong's eyes. He really wanted to give himself a massage.

"Haha..." Qin Hao laughed so hard that he couldn't even laugh. He felt that if he grabbed a few more times, a handprint would appear near his neck.

"that."

After drinking the water, Lao Ma asked, "If you practice for a very long time and lose in the end, will you still feel it is worth it?"

Qin Hao was stunned.

Subconsciously looked at Jin Gong.

Being stared at with such eyes, Jin Gongren was dumbfounded. Fine, fine, you are implying that my efforts have not yielded any results? You are bullying an honest person, right?
But change your mind.

Jin Gong was indeed quite irritable.

Mark's words brought back some bad memories. Others wondered why he was so emotionally unstable, but he wasn't like that at first.

It's just that I've been restrained for too long, and I always need a way to vent...

Seeing that Jin Gong couldn't laugh, Lao Ma realized that he had asked a very stupid question, but he didn't know whether he should apologize. If he did, how should he say it?

And until the end.

Qin Hao didn't answer this question either.

Because people can never fully empathize with things they haven't experienced.

~~~
outside world.

Because IG's new season is amazing enough and often makes the impossible possible, those fans who once did not play the game have regained their vitality.

They will introduce how strong IG is in the new season in various posts.

What a 0-3 Gangplank, it looks like 3-0, what a strengthened mage is the strengthening of Rookie, what JKL is worthy of being the talented AD that the management has been optimistic about two years ago, he is much better at dealing damage than the trough King of the West.

The image of a parent who has a top student in the family and likes to show off to others.

And it has to be said.

Although IG's playing style is brainless, it is indeed very entertaining to watch.

Even though there are mistakes and accidents of one kind or another, the players' performances are still a show, attracting attention and fans.

To use the comment of a foreign commentator:
You may not understand it, but it is definitely shocking. It is an elusive and pure visual feast.

If I have to summarize it, it is to prepare quick-acting heart-saving pills. Because even the fans don’t know what kind of game IG will play.

some of.

TheShy is the most eye-catching one.

He often deals damage beyond his KDA despite having a negative record, which highlights his unreasonableness. Other top laners can only take advantage of the situation after dying once or twice, but he is the only one who is still operating KuKu.

Therefore, in the new season, Qingshen and TheShy have the highest number of views. The former has a positive mindset and it is a pleasure to watch Qingshen play in a team, while the latter is exaggerated and often performs magic.

~~~
It’s noon this day.

There are still 6 hours until TOP plays against IG.

An IG fan saw someone in the group worried, thinking that he had just started playing after the New Year and had no feel for the game and might not be able to operate.

[To be honest, we are really lacking in operations. We have nothing to do but fight.]

[Our team relies on the feel of the game. When we are in the right position, we can play casually. When we are not in the right position, we become sick. The day we lost to RW was like this. We could have finished the game 2-0. But after eating the Baron, we refused to leave and insisted on joining the team.]

A group member with the ID "I want to see Rookie enter the world championship again" kept analyzing the game.

It can be heard that he really wants IG to improve.

It’s just that most fans hate “earnest advice”.

Knowing is kindness.

But can you please say something auspicious, don't always say that we lose, have less training during the New Year, and are not as good as TOP in terms of operations.

Just like that.

This group member was besieged.

But people are just like Xianglin Sao, constantly giving examples, trying to prove that as long as IG improves its discipline, it will achieve great success.

at the same time.

Resist it.

Different from the atmosphere of the core group, as the base camp of Qing fans, the mainstream view here is "They appear strong because they have never played against strong teams."

"I don't know about the others, but Rookie can't play out the advantages he had before the year against Qingshen, let alone think about a single breakthrough."

"I don't understand what those who brag about being invincible are thinking. Didn't Qingshen lead his team to play against IG last year? You don't really think that Xihuang is bad, right? Here's a hot fact: Xihuang's Xia has lost to LGD, but they have won against other teams."

"This is what it means to be a good person and then be killed. Your merits are useless. If you flash forward and die suddenly, you will be remembered for the rest of your life."

"It's too much of a hassle to bully the team. Let's first surpass last year's IG in terms of performance. Don't change the AD, or they'll be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs."

"They're already marketing before the results are out, and they dare to mock GSL. Uzi has a solo championship, what does JKL have? No. 1 Draven? I didn't see him choose it."

Some people like it.

Some people are dissatisfied.

But when Ning opened his phone and saw Kangba's appearance, he was 100% or even 90% dissatisfied. No one likes to be questioned about their strength.

He was given the mocking title of "Shoe King" and some people also said that Xiaohuasheng knew best about ordering food.

What do you mean?
Am I the breakthrough?
In the first two BO2s, my performance was much more stable than my teammates!

Ning cursed at a bunch of blind people, then opened Weibo and posted a photo of his latest pair of sneakers.

Eh.

The more people talk about the shoe king, the more excited he becomes.

He just likes to see netizens making noises and screams under his comment section, but it doesn’t affect him at all - I bought the shoes with my own money, I can’t show them off.

4 pm.

After getting on the bus, Jin Jingzhu saw Ning chatting with Baolan, which made the AD and the top laner frown. Then he raised his hand and signaled Ning to speak softly. "Fuck."

Ning muttered something in a low voice and pretended to close his eyes and rest.

Jin Jingzhu withdrew his gaze and met Mafa's eyes, and couldn't help but frowning.

Talk about it.

Last year's loss to LGD made Kim Jung-soo realize how important the mid-lane position is. So he would rather give up staying in LZ, which was renamed KZ, and take over Chris's position.

Of course, he didn't know that Kouma would issue that notice, nor did he know that the Bird's Nest team would disband, otherwise he would have two more options.

But since I have signed a contract with IG.

Kim Jeong-soo is about to achieve something.

It's just that IG's current situation is more complicated than he thought. Compared with the environment in Korea, LPL players are much more independent.

for example.

In Korea, when he points out a problem, the players will not question why, and even if they do not do well, they will at least cooperate.

In IG, he can only establish communication channels with the players again and again, trying to make the players understand why they do this, and then make them willing.

After understanding the talents and strengths of each team member.

This matter should have gotten into the state quickly, that is: focus on the parts we are good at, deal with the parts we are not good at, and finally reach a consensus.

However, since IG players always compete with each other, the results of training matches and replays are poor. Kim Jeong-soo can only maintain a balance around the players' preferences.

This is why IG’s chaotic fight lacks reason.

Just do it because you like it, no need to ask too many reasons.

But in Kim Jeong-soo's eyes.

Ning is definitely a question-hungry person.

Being stubborn, arrogant, and unable to distinguish good intentions always inexplicably harms the team atmosphere.

This is reflected in training, where Ning is always the first to type "GG" and wants to end the training game if he is not satisfied with the result.

Compared to the content that gave Kim Jeong-soo a headache.

Mafa feels that things are getting better.

After all, when he and Chris were partners, the players always agreed superficially and then did the same thing the next time. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the problems that existed would only continue to exist.

When the anti-coronavirus forum posted a prediction, netizens enthusiastically expressed their predictions.

Cvmax emphasized his idea: "...try to create a 1v1 environment for the top lane, understand me?"

Qin Hao cooperated and said "hmm".

Only Jin Gong looked puzzled.

clam?
1v1?

We didn't talk about these things years ago. Back then, we would just follow the lineup curve, try to control xx resources, and report more information.

How to come up after vacation?

The focus has changed.

I don’t want to fight TheShy alone!

Jin Gong grabbed the handrail with one hand, using some force for some unknown reason.

But Brother Mai was always direct and didn't give GimGoon any time to think: "I'll pick a more comfortable matchup for you. I want to see the results."

Jin Gong: ...

"Han Quan, you are very strong. But the prerequisite is that you have to be confident." Cvmax's face was cold, which made Kouma look even gentler.

"You've played so many ranked matches, don't you want to show off your achievements? You also heard that your teammates will help you create a one-on-one environment."

The meeting with Kouma paused, and Qin Hao didn't care what Kouma said, and directly praised: "Brother Gongzi, you are the best top laner in my mind."

"I'm on the other side, and I'm scared."

The old thief suddenly said this.

Cvmax almost couldn't hold it back!
Somehow, seeing that the coach and teammates were all looking at him, Kim Gong couldn't shake his head, and his words changed from "steady, steady is better" to gradually hesitant.

"When it comes to laning, you can't be weak in momentum."

Qin Hao mentioned it again, Jin Gong raised his head and looked at Brother Mai deeply, and asked anxiously: "Is it really 1v1?"

"I'll hold Rookie back."

"Give me Ezreal or Jhin, I can connect."

"I'm in the front row."

Peanut looked left and right and said, "I... I will make your eyes?"

Saw this scene.

Kouma smiled. He knew what Cvmax was planning. It was just to let GimGoon face TheShy directly to increase the team's strength.

After all, there are too many ways to avoid laning pressure. Only when both sides want to gain an advantage will there be a fierce clash.

Just seeing this atmosphere.

Kouma was quite emotional.

Because in SKT, as long as everyone dares to make fun of Sang Hyuk, it means they are in good shape.

The more questions I lose, the more my smile disappears and I’m no longer in the mood to laugh.

at the same time.

Kim Jeong-soo emphasized BP, talked about the lineups commonly used by TOP, and suggested that the players find ways to accumulate advantages through laning.

As a coach, he does not think that IG's defensive operations are stronger than TOP, but rather that their desire for operations is overflowing.

"Look for an opportunity to control the crab in the upper river and force the opponent to go to the lower river... In this way, the upper lane can be controlled and pushed back. If the opponent's T comes out to give, the health will be directly reduced."

These words echoed in my ears.

Ning walked into the queue coolly, unaware that the comments were all "Ning Mazi, King of Shoes". He had a rebellious mentality, but showing off his shoes before the game would only attract more ridicule.

【I'm coming. 】

【Resignation is awesome! 】

[The takeaway has been ordered, and we are just waiting for the decisive battle. 】

It’s not wrong to say it’s Tianwang Mountain.

Whoever wins this game will be the leader in the Eastern Conference.

"Welcome back to the live broadcast of the 2018 LPL Spring Season..."

Guan Zeyuan couldn't hold back his excitement on the commentary stand either. There were so many highlights in this match, and all three lanes were looking forward to it.

Including the jungle, will Ning maintain his previous year's state and quickly get the first blood, or will Xiaohuasheng be experienced and end Ning's offensive rhythm.

bass!
There was a crisp sound.

The director cuts out BP.

"IG used their side selection rights to take the blue side and immediately banned the hero that Peanut was good at."

Ban the male gun on the left.

With the strengthening of the Swiftness Rune in 8.2, Graves' position in the jungle has become more and more prominent.

"It depends on what TOP thinks. It seems that the first three bans will target the mid and jungle."

talking.

Remove the shaking Jace on the right.

Seeing that Jayce was gone, Rookie took the initiative to say: "Ban Zoe, there's no need to release her." This hero's ability to steal prizes is too strong, and their team's field of vision in team battles is poor, so it's better not to play this kind of game with the opponent.

that's it.

IG’s second ban was given to Zoe, and on the right, JKL’s signature hero Kog’Maw was banned.

In the last ban position, Kim Jeong-soo guessed that the opponent was going to ban Xayah and Rakan, so she simply sent Galio away, hoping to bring out Ice Girl and avoid the most direct confrontation with TOP's mid and jungle.

just.

He was only half right.

As the red team, TOP did ban Rakan.

Considering the importance of the bottom lane, they prioritized Tam among the options of Ezreal, Tam, and Ice Maiden. Then, they directly locked in Ezreal and Ice Maiden on the first and second floors.

This style is a little different from the previous year. It's not that the single ice girl is not strong, but Penicillin likes to use the card to fight the ice girl.

So Kim Jeong-soo felt that the opponent would not go out to the middle lane so early.

Seeing that TOP chose to increase the intensity of collisions in the early and mid-game, Kim Jeong-soo thought about it for a while and decisively suggested taking Varus and Gangplank.

Because Gangplank has no natural enemy in the top lane, even if he develops against them, his team battles will not be worse than those of Vampire or Crab.

in turn.

If the opponent builds tank and targets the jungle, TheShy will be very comfortable and can even steal money.

"Captain? Locked!"

Next beat.

The female tank appears on the right.

Entering the second round.

Because the Ice Girl can fight anyone equally, TOP did not overly target the mid lane.

finally.

TOP sent Sejuani and Gragas to the ban position, and IG also banned Nidalee and Elise.

"TOP picked Olaf as his fourth pick." Remember: "No problem, this is the only hero that matches well with him."

then.

IG locked on Syndra and Lee Sin on the fourth and fifth floors.

"What should I choose for the Conte position?"

Only Jin Gong has not chosen a hero.

Guan Zeyuan was still saying that Ornn was not good at beating Gangplank, but at least he wouldn’t be bad. Immediately afterwards, TOP locked down Shen on the fifth floor.

"TOP wants to face IG head-on!!" Both commentators were a little surprised.
