Chapter 421 Leader
The more he understood what Cvmax had done, the more frustrated he felt. It was only today that he understood why LGD chose such a fancy lineup in the spring season last year.

of course.

He actually understands this mentality.

As a coach, everyone hopes that the players have a wide range of heroes and can play all kinds of heroes. In this way, no matter what cards the opponent plays, there is a way to deal with it.

Just like in S7, everyone knew that the Prince was strong at the end, and it was never wrong to play it first because it was a counter without displacement. The problem was that there was something wrong with the Prince played by Peanut and Blank...

"Practicing the lineup like this...will it be effective?" Kou Ma asked tactfully.

"generally."

Cvmax spoke the truth: "So I made some adjustments in the summer season."

Seeing Kouma's strange expression, Cvmax didn't know what blushing meant at all: "It's my first year as a coach, isn't it normal to make some mistakes?
Moreover, in the spring season last year, the mid laner was forced to take on more work. As you can see, Qin Hao did a great job. "

Kouma stared, sensing the smugness emanating from Cvmax.

No.

What's there to be proud of?
Kouma didn't understand, but was greatly shocked. Cvmax's way of "creating pressure without any pressure" was beyond Kouma's thinking limit.

In other words, LGD has a good mentality and knows how to find joy in adversity. Otherwise, if they practice like this, conflicts will be a small matter, but mental breakdown will be a big deal.

same.

He finally understood why Penicillin had changed so much.

It's not like he hasn't led a talented midfielder before. He knew that Xianghe had been confused for a long time in the S4 season and the S5 spring season. At that time, he often comforted Xianghe and said, "We are all waiting for you."

But what about Penicillin?

He was known for his calm command and mature playing style when he debuted. He seldom dealt with dangerous situations when his teammates were not there, like a seasoned veteran.

The result came the following year.

Not only did they not suffer from any aftereffects of winning the championship (inflation, being hit, confusion, regaining their spirits or becoming indistinguishable from the crowd), but they also greatly improved their playing and development capabilities.

From radiating teammates when playing Clockwork, to taking over the middle lane and the jungle, he has repeatedly achieved an output share of nearly 40% and maximized damage in team battles.

He thought he didn't understand the world of genius.

Now I realize that it is not possible without C.

Come to think of it, he thought that LGD made those fancy lineups because they were arrogant, and the BPs were all decided by the players, just to show off their understanding...

People who often watch European and American leagues will definitely understand this situation.

Since it is BO1 over there, and there is a serious gap in the echelons and the management atmosphere is loose, some players will "mess around" if they feel bored.

For example, if you choose a robot, walk around the map without five-speed shoes, and only reach level 20 in 7 minutes... people don't want to play at a normal pace.

but.

Perhaps because of his experience in leading a team, Cvmax waited until the end of the group before starting to increase the intensity, giving the players time to adapt.

"…This is the gradual process, Jung-jun."

Kouma shuddered, feeling sickened by the smugness emanating from Cvmax.

“What thoughts does winning the championship bring?”

“Without pressure, there is no motivation.”

Cvmax witnessed Penicillin's transformation and took on the responsibility of a leader. "I read an idiom story called 'pulling up seedlings to help them grow', which means that violating the laws of development of things will lead to misfortune."

"But if people have a choice, they would definitely prefer to lie down rather than make progress. Because 'making progress' means being tired."

Cvmax paused, and said in a very affirmative tone: "So, the so-called coaching work is actually a process of 'pulling up the seedlings to help them grow'."

"..."

In this room that was so hot that it had to be air-conditioned, Kouma was a little stunned. He originally thought that Cvmax was quite funny, but it was undeniable that Jin Dahu was really responsible.

~~~
Early in the morning.

Riot updated version 8.5, announcing Kai'Sa's arrival in the Rift, foreshadowing Irelia's rework, and deleting the Mirror Shell from the Resolve tree and adding Chrysalis (gaining an extra 60 health points at the start, and after participating in four kills, gaining adaptive attack power or magic power).

In short.

This update is not very strong.

The only thing that can be said to have affected the ecosystem is the ultimate patch for the behavior of single-line auxiliary equipment: auxiliary equipment requires teammates nearby to be triggered. This completely blocked the way to get free economy.

Talk about it.

In the S7 summer season, the single-line auxiliary equipment was cut. At that time, it was targeted at the mid-lane Lulu and mid-lane Karma who were mage thieves. It was made so that the tribute passive would be triggered only if they did not touch the minion line for 10 seconds.

We will continue to patch this time, mainly because Karma, the Kleptomaniac Ice Fist, is too popular - players who play melee top lane have many complaints.

Just a new announcement came out.

There are still many players who are not satisfied.

[Can you delete the theft? 】

[RNM, when will our melee top laner stand up? ]

[Steel Shadow players, don't cry. We Riven players are the ones who are crying. You can at least focus on consumption with Comet, but what about us? Undying is not applicable, Thief is completely useless, we can't bring magic, and Strong Attack is difficult to trigger... Really, I can tolerate the stats being cut, but how can I fight against others with one less rune? ]

[The new version favors mages and tanks the most, followed by assassins and big core ADs, and the rest are all stepmothers. ]

【During the S5 World Championship, why didn't any warrior players get upset? 】

[Zoe still needs to be nerfed. What's the point of just increasing the bubble reaction time? 】

[If you want to be a supermodel, then practice. What's the point of screaming every day? 】

[I declare that Zoe players have successfully surpassed Teemo and Yasuo players and have been promoted to the top stinky force. ]

【agree. 】

The audience was frantically giving suggestions and greeting the designer's family.

The Korean E-Sports Association is holding a meeting to discuss the issue of viewership.

"To put it bluntly, the appeal has declined. Those who followed the game in the past are no longer interested in opening the live broadcast room."

"Why are you not interested?"

"..."

“Although it’s hard to hear the truth, there was no substantial drop in the number of viewers even though we didn’t win the championship in the first two years.

It was SKT's crazy rotation in the spring season that showed a deviation in the competitive level, which made fans not want to follow the game, resulting in a double decline in domestic and overseas data.

No one likes to see the home team get beaten.”

"Also, at the beginning of the year we had a peak of over 700 million viewers, but now it's less than 400 million! And it's still declining."

Everyone knows that SKT has a lot of fans.

But they didn't expect that when SKT fell into the inner ghost mode and couldn't extricate themselves, it would produce such a great power. Judging from the recent data feedback.

Those who shouted "boring" and "Bengi should be fired" on the Internet expressed their attitude with their feet.

and.

What scares the Korean side the most is that the LPL data is rising. Since the night at the Bird's Nest, whether it is the degree of capital favor or the online peaks at home and abroad, they have repeatedly set new highs.

It is said that what is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of distribution of wealth.

If the viewing figures in various regions have dropped significantly, there is actually nothing to discuss, after all, that is how the StarCraft era went.

The problem is that PUBG is so popular now.

LPL is still rising against the trend, which makes people jealous. Another thing is, if LOL collapses, they will have to change jobs...

"A few years ago, we wanted to find an opponent for Sang Hyuk and create a topic, but the new talented mid laner was not in Korea." Someone said quietly.

Riot has learned a lot from the NBA's "successful" experience.

All regions know how important it is to push the top players and create the clash of the century. The problem is that geniuses like Faker and Penicillin are hard to come by.

Like now.

Everyone knows the problem.

But SKT themselves are all dumb and have no idea how to maintain their winning rate.

Also, with Penicillin leaving the team to join Top, Faker's divinity was reduced by another 2 points.

Because in the eyes of most players, SKT's configuration is no worse than Top. In addition, Wolf has not retired, occasionally plays a jungle role, and can also be Effort's private teacher. In terms of foundation, it is better than Top in every way.

As a result, SKT is now being bullied by strong teams and fighting with weak teams. With their IDs covered, they are no different from the third-tier teams, highlighting their strict hierarchy.

"The main reason for promoting Khan this year was that the results were mediocre. Despite so many press releases, KZ's viewership data barely passed the test, with the peak being only one-third of last year's (compared to SKT's games)."

The more discussion.

The more I envy LPL for releasing Penicillin.

If he was Korean, even if SKT fans were not interested, he could still create new topics for the match and attract viewers to the venue.

after all.

When SKT swept the league, even when playing against weaker teams, many people watched. Even if the quality of the game was not good enough, the ID Faker could maintain the basic support.

"It's impossible to promote BDD. No matter how we market him, the audience thinks he is a poor imitator and that pirated products cannot beat the genuine products. They don't look forward to his story at all."

"The BO5 last year was too bad. If they had fought harder and shown a spirit of honor in defeat, they would have attracted the audience's expectations."

"Eh..." Someone let out a long sigh.

"There is also a lot of discussion about the new generation of AD next door. EDG, RNG, and IG are all pushing it, and they are tacitly stirring up controversy."

“So, where is our new generation?”

“Ucal is worth watching, and Teddy also has a lot of attention.”

“How does it compare to the traffic next door?”

Someone remained silent: "If SKT is very charismatic, it would be easier to promote new players... they can just brag about it if they have a little performance."

"In the final analysis, SKT is not considered an imaginary enemy at the moment. There is no way to provoke the anger of fans, let alone the opportunity to lead the confrontation."

"..."

So until the meeting is over.

No one could come up with a way to save the ratings. They could only contact the media and ask them to give more publicity to KZ and KT.

It was this afternoon.

When Forbes Asia released a list of influential people under the age of 30, netizens discovered that Qin Hao was ranked 10th, higher than Faker who was ranked 13th, and surpassed a number of diving and track and field athletes.

"What pheasant list?"

"I agree that Zhang Jike can be in the top three, but who is this Qin Hao?"

"It seems to be playing games."

"A gamer sneaks into the sports world to influence commentary?"

"Is he famous?"

"Nonsense, at least it's more famous than diving. I haven't watched diving in years. Who among the young people nowadays still pays attention to this kind of sport?"

"Stupid, they are winning glory for the country, what are you doing playing games?"

"The problem is that he is not famous. He just keeps himself in a small circle and plays by himself."

When controversy arises around the list.

However, Koreans care most about the fact that Faker's influence ranking is lower than Penicillin.

【Who makes the list? 】

[It's really disgusting. Why is Penicillin more influential than Faker? ]

【Isn't it well known that Forbes Asia is leaning towards China? Last year, when it reviewed potential artists, it ranked Wang Jiaer ahead of IU. Isn't this just a scam?】

[You can get on this kind of fake list by paying money. ]

There was nothing special here.

But Forbes Asia has never been afraid of controversy in all the years it has been doing inventory.

Face doubts.

Forbes Asia took the initiative to explain on Twitter, Weibo and other platforms:
"… Considering that Penicillin has reached cooperation with Mercedes-Benz, Estee Lauder, and a certain sneaker this year, and his video playback volume, likes, and comments are all the highest in the industry… After rigorous model analysis, we have concluded that Penicillin's influence has surpassed Faker."

That's the general idea.

Penicillin is more favored by capital, has a higher potential value, and has fans all over the world. It would be abnormal if he was not ranked ahead of Faker.

It's okay not to explain.

After the explanation, Faker's fans became even angrier.

Due to SKT's poor performance in the past two years, Faker's brand cooperation is indeed not as high-end as Penicillin.

one more.

From Mercedes-Benz to the so-called e-sports Jordan, it was Fujii who helped to connect them. Thanks to the efforts of Topsports and Fujii, the unspeakable sneakers entered the e-sports field for the first time.

same.

Forbes Asia knew the inside story earlier than Guo Hao because the deal had been reached and they had received the news in advance and knew how powerful this kind of joint hype was.

Just as Forbes Asia expected.

The list quickly spread.

Many self-media helped to reprint and comment on the article.

The attitude of a certain pair of sneakers strengthened the confidence of other potential players. For a time, offers came in one after another, making Guo Hao exclaim that he had "met a noble person."

"A collaboration between Tea Hundred Dao and us?"

“There shouldn’t be any offline activities, right?”

"What? Yes, then I have to discuss it with Qin Hao's agent."

From noon till now.

Guo Hao's phone never stopped ringing.

at the same time.

When Qin Hao heard the coaching staff's request to change the lineup, he didn't do anything. However, Lao Zei and Mark looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

As I said: being able to play in ranked matches doesn’t mean you can play in competitions.

Take Xiaohu for example. Anyone who has watched Xiaohu’s live broadcast knows that he can play any mid laner, including Jayce, Zoe, and Tsar, in the ranked game.

Once the game starts.

I just want to play heroes like Ice Girl and Ryze.

Not only do I not enjoy playing other things, I even cough when I play.

"Is there a problem?"

"No." Qin Hao still gave the same answer.

Seeing him so calm, Cvmax recalled the scene when they first met last year. At that time, he was curious about why Penicillin didn't like to position himself in front of the tower when he obviously had the ability to play laning.

So he repeated his old words: "This is just the regular season. You should stay away from the jungle when playing mid lane."

"Well, I just think it's easier to win if I move." Qin Hao said it lightly, not sounding like bragging at all.

In fact.

He also doesn't like to brag.

He had developed a good sense of judgment by simulating space, and only by moving could he cover the entire map.

Cvmax didn't argue, nor did he want to argue. He just squinted his eyes, trying to read more information from his teammates' faces.

such as.

He could see that Mark was a little panicked.

Because he may not be able to play heroes that are useful even at disadvantages if he follows the coaching staff's requirements. Looking at Qiuqiu again, he is much calmer, after all, as a substitute, he has no choice.

Wait for the team members to leave.

The training team asked, "You don't like him moving?"

"Do not."

Cvmax said: "You don't understand Qin Hao. In life, he feels that he has an obligation to help his teammates. As long as your attitude is correct, he will definitely not despise you.

On the other hand, he is used to giving orders during games.

He thinks he is a trustworthy person. If you want to increase your chances of winning, you just need to be obedient and follow his baton. If he asks you to clear the line, then clear the line. If he asks you to come over, then come over.

If he fails to do well, he also has a backup plan, such as switching to another half zone to stop loss or something…”

Think back to the past year.

Cvmax was touched: “To be honest, he is not an arrogant person, but his playing style is indeed arrogant.

And when I was coaching, I found that C-Bo and his team didn't use their brains at all, because they knew it would be better if they didn't have any ideas. But now it's just the regular season, we should add new options -

If you don’t try, Qin Hao actually doesn’t know that you can play like this.”

Kouma listened to Cvmax talk about last year’s preparations for the World Championship.

and so.

Kouma can understand.

To put it bluntly, the methods Qin Hao taught Dalang to deal with the minion line, if you ignore the core, are actually to avoid the shortcomings of the details of the blood exchange. It is no different from the choice he made when he debuted.

But at the beginning, Cvmax wanted Langx to put pressure on CuVee "directly".

Unfortunately.

They didn't try it out, so Qin Hao, as the brain of the team, naturally turned Langx into a tool man for pushing the lane and turning off the lights.

Although he did not hurt Langx's self-esteem, he felt that Langx could only rely on tactics to suppress CuVee's signature Kennen.

This is also what Cvmax wants to express.

something.

You have to try to input the new program... But for no reason, Kouma missed Sang Hyuk again. He saw a lot of his memories in Cvmax and Penicillin.
