My days at the helm of senior kayaking at WBG

Chapter 196 "LPL's Most Promising Year"

In that short moment, a trace of determination flashed in Zeus's eyes.

He recalled all the grievances he had suffered since his debut. This moment seemed to be the time for him to prove himself.

As long as you can hold on to this wave of bases, you can wait until your double C is resurrected.

At this moment, the hearts of the LCK audience jumped into their throats.

Although they know that Zeus will be unreliable in many situations, at such a critical juncture, they do not believe in Zeus and can only believe in Zeus. After all, Zeus can be said to be their most promising new top laner at present.

Compared to Dolan, who was more abstract before, although Zeus plays this game quite abstractly, at least he still looks like a human being.

Compared with the shy, although it is difficult to compare, at least in this game, he is still quite good at the basic skills of a top laner.

"With a wine barrel that's half meat and half magic, it shouldn't be difficult to defend a base."

Not only the audience is looking forward to it, but even the LCK commentators feel that it is not a problem at all for a barrel to block several residual blood pressure.

However, what people didn't expect was that Zeus e was empty.

Just as the opponent was wildly demolishing their T1 base, Zeus arrived at an unimaginable position with his determined eyes.

No one knew who he was trying to defeat when he went there. Anyway, T1's base exploded, and Zeus was nailed to the LCK top laner's pillar of shame.

Such an abstract situation is comparable to Uzi not lighting lanterns and not guarding the house to go on the road and lead the line.

As a result, amidst the indignant voices of all LCK viewers, Zeus showed a relieved smile in the camera.

"Did this guy get beaten stupid?"

"Am I right? He is actually smiling."

"What is he laughing at? Does he think he has won?"

"I must have laughed at myself."

T1 fans' dissatisfaction with Zeus reached a climax at this moment.

They began to criticize Zeus in various comment sections, and wanted to urgently ask T1's management to replace Zeus.

Although the current T1 management cannot see the comments of the audience, at least they will not be able to communicate with the audience until after the game is over.

For now, the management are not fools. At least coach Tom can tell without faker's prompting that Zeus will definitely not stay in T1 for long.

When he returned to the lounge, Tom had already helped T1 find the culprits of the previous game-Zeus and oner.

As long as one of these two guys can withstand the pressure, they won't lose so miserably in the last round.

It's enough for a team to have a faker who can be a drag, not to mention that faker is not a 100% drag. In many cases, he can take the overall situation into consideration, but his operational reaction ability cannot keep up, that's all.

On the LPL side, they originally thought that there would be a shocking battle between the shy and Zeus. The veteran of the LPL would face off against the emerging top laner of the LCK. They were also excited about how intense the exchange of fire would be.

It's just that no one expected that Zeus would be so defeated. Even the jungler of T1 was drooling at how good he was.

The only one who can withstand it is Old Man Li.

Old Man Li is almost 30 years old, and he is still not at a disadvantage when he competes with LPL's talented mid laners in the middle lane.

Although in terms of later decision-making, the T1 team is still slightly behind Weibo, but from the early planning and layout, Old Man Li's scheming is visible to the naked eye.

"Faker won't be retiring this year, right?"

"I feel like being abused like this by the LPL mid laner can be said to be the end of my career."

"Finally, I saw someone who could defeat Faker head-on. In the past, I believed that person was Xiaohu, but I didn't expect that in 2023, this talent would finally appear."

"Jiang Wei! The hope of Shu! How can we do the Northern Expedition without him?"

“The nightmare of Korean e-sports.”

“The emerging LPL mid lane talent—boyo!”

After simply winning a game, the Weibo hot searches were flooded with praises about the team.

Many people who originally did not pay attention to LOL competitions noticed that the team created by Weibo has performed well in the competition this year, and they immediately came to find out.

Although they don't know what kind of team T1 is, they know Faker, and they know this man who represents half of the e-sports field.

Although the popularity of LOL has declined now, Faker's name still plays a decisive role in the hearts of every male player.

"Good fight, great fight!"

When he noticed that his players returned to the lounge, Danny came directly to comfort these great contributors.

To be honest, he was completely unexpected to play such a wonderful first game.

What he originally wanted to do was to test the opponent's strength in the first game, and then use corresponding methods to crack it in the second game when T1 showed his own style.

No one expected that Weibo would beat T1 like his son in the first game. Not only could it be said that T1 had no power to fight back, it even had no room to parry.

"One word, dish."

Prince Ning was lying on the sofa and said: "I told you a long time ago that there is nothing to be afraid of when dealing with the junglers on the opposite side. That kid just debuted last year. It can be seen that he still has very little experience."

"Don't take it lightly. In the last game, they may just be unfamiliar with our playing style. If they adjust back in the second game, T1 will still be a very powerful team."

On suddenly remembered the time with T1 last year. At that time, T1 had just been reorganized and had already exploded into amazing combat effectiveness. Although there were still many flaws in teamwork, they finished the last game this year. It seems that he feels that T1 has been greatly improved compared to the previous year.

Not only the teamwork, but also the individual players' abilities have improved a lot.

Hearing this, Jiang Huai certainly agreed, but he was still quite confident when facing faker.

I dare not say anything else, but even if Faker was in the same state as he was last time, he might not be able to perform any beautiful operations in the LCK league.

Maybe it’s been a long time since they competed in a major competition. T1 experienced a disastrous defeat in the first game and felt that this kind of failure was completely inappropriate.

Fortunately, T1 is not a team that becomes dejected after being defeated in one game.

After they lose the first game, they will immediately put aside all memories and concentrate on dealing with the next game. There is no need to discuss too much about who was the war criminal in the previous game.

The coach will configure a lineup based on the status of the players. Although he needs to communicate with Faker and Keria, T1 in the second game will definitely show a different style to face Weibo.

And judging from the current large and small competitions on Weibo, Weibo is definitely not as changeable as T1's style.

I don’t know if the second Weibo can withstand the transformed T1.

Danny had some thoughts here. But he still feels that it is most important for players like Weibo to maintain this state of confidence.

"As long as you have confidence, you can overcome any difficulty."

In the end, I told the players this question.

Everyone on Weibo nodded slightly after listening to what the coach said.

As long as they can win the next game, then for them, the chance of winning this bo 5 can be said to be very huge.

At the same time, many spectators outside the professional arena have also raised banners supporting Weibo. Many Chinese people traveled across the ocean to London just to watch the decisive battle between Weibo and T1.

Of course, many of them are fans of the shy and jacky love, but in terms of the player they are most looking forward to, it is of course Jiang Huai, a young and talented mid laner who can represent the LPL.

As the host of LPL, Yu Shuang came to the scene in person to interview the Chinese audience.

When asking a Weibo fan who was wearing a Weibo team uniform and carrying a big flag, Yu Shuang kindly asked him which player he liked the most, and he turned around, turned his back to the camera, and let everyone know Notice the big ID on his back - boyo.

Immediately afterwards, this fanatical old man snatched the microphone from Yu Shuang's hand and said to all the e-sports fans in front of the screen a sentence that may go down in history:

"Although I have said it many times, this year will definitely be the most promising year for LPL!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole network went crazy.

At this juncture, Weibo defeated T1 head-on. Such words are certainly very credible.

But just like the premise of this old man saying this - the most promising year of LPL has been blown many times.

Before this, although there were championships, the championships at that time were basically the champions of the LPL who had no hope.

All the teams that the audience expects will encounter waterloo before the World Championships, thus ruining their advantages.

RNG, Fun Plus, many teams seemed to have the capital to win the championship, but in the subsequent games, they lost to powerful enemies again and again, even enemies that did not seem to be that powerful.

"It's here again, the most promising year for the LPL. Every year I hear this sentence, my ears want to get calluses."

"It's a bit funny. To be honest, although this year is indeed very promising, I advise you not to get your hopes up."

"Can Weibo's strength be extended to the second game? I feel that T1 will adjust back soon."

"Do you want to open champagne when you win? This is really the first time I've seen it."

"Isn't it more convincing to win the MSI and then pop the champagne? Isn't this already the beginning after just winning a game?"

“This is what Weibo fans are like.”

There are unique "sober people" here in the LPL, who directly gave the ardent fans a dose of tranquilizer.

There is indeed some truth to what these people say, but it is a bit disappointing to say it at this time.

It is true that if Weibo can defeat T1 and win the MSI championship, it will be the best ending, but if they fail to win the championship on the cusp of such a storm, then waiting for their reckoning will not be as simple as a star or a half.

"Don't you think Weibo can win? That's not true, right? To be honest, it depends on their strength. I feel that there is absolutely hope that they can win this game."

Uzi lamented that he was already an old man and could no longer keep up with the current thinking of mainstream audiences.

In the past, there would have been many people supporting the LPL's No. 1 seed.

As a result, looking at the barrage now, many people are reflecting after winning.

Reflect on what?
Losing is wrong.

But what’s there to reflect on after winning?
"I'll leave it here for now. If the shy doesn't win on Weibo, I will eat the computer screen directly. I don't even need to drink water, I just swallow it in one gulp."

Brother Huya Jiu is bragging again.

Although he is not an absolute professional in the e-sports circle, his admiration for the shy is beyond words.

Everyone in the audience knows that he is a fan of the, but it is quite fitting to hear him say such words at this juncture.

"Come on! In the second game, let's see if there are any adjustments on T1's side, or if Weibo can continue to maintain their advantage and win again!"

Miller finally finished reading the commercial and started talking again to attract the audience's attention.

Under the screen operation of the live fist director. All spectators noticed that the players from both sides sat down again, and the BP interface was pulled up again. T1 chose the blue side in this round.

Unlike the last game, they will not give Weibo any offensive opportunities this time.

Come up and directly ban Wei and Monkey who may be chosen by King Ning.

In the end, for the sake of safety, Gwen, who couldn't play with Zeus, was also banned first.

Gwen from The Shy is a pretty good Gwen.

In 2022, when he was criticized, his Gwen had already shown super personal strength.

First of all, of course it's because this hero is a super model and can support the late C position, and secondly, Zeus really doesn't know how to play.

Weibo probably understood what heroes T1 would take, so they clicked off the top lane in advance so that Zeus could mix in a hero with enough level and experience to survive - Quisanti.

Ever since Quisanti, an old nigger hero, was created, his values ​​have been reduced like crazy, but there is no way to completely remove him from the professional arena.

The mechanism is simply too perfect.

As a tank, it has control and movement, and can even be used as an assassin after using its ultimate move.

Such a flexible hero is exactly the all-purpose hero that top laners in the professional arena like.

The last all-purpose hero that could be chosen at will was Jayce, but now the development curve as the value of warrior equipment is reduced is too long, so this hero is also submerged in the long river of history, and will only be selected in some specific rounds. As a top order poke choice.

The remaining two units on Weibo banned Annie themselves, and also prevented the opponent's little Lu Bu from bringing out Lucian for suppression.

T1 naturally doesn’t care about Weibo’s ban pick.

The hero they want to get on the first floor is Big Tree. This is a hero who can give them great priority in terms of vision.

Whether in the late or early stages, he has strong vision control capabilities, and his ultimate move can also be used with many heroes for combos.

The meaning of T1 in this game is quite obvious, which is to delay development.

If you choose a big tree that doesn't develop, it's like choosing in vain.

Therefore, the hero is released on the second floor, the ADC is finalized, and Gumayusi Aphelios’ one-click talent is ready!
