Alliance: At IG, I have the final say

Chapter 514 Let's Go Back to Being Lower Horses

On July 2018, [-], Dalian Stadium.

In the lounge, everyone in the LPL sat around on the huge sofa, discussing the order of appearance for today.

The BO5 competition system in the competition area requires each team to play in rotation. If they reach the final decisive game, they will have the opportunity to play repeatedly.

Therefore, the game between the coaching staff of both sides is a big test.

There must be a clear arrangement for whoever takes the lead and who comes to the rear to back up.

At the same time, the opponent's appearance arrangement must also be considered.

"I think we'll let IG play first, and we'll talk about it after we win! The momentum will be better!"

The RNG coach spoke first.

His proposal is relatively conservative. Looking at the worst scenario, if IG is allowed to play with the fourth pick, if they lose the first three games, IG will not even have a chance to play.

And domestic fans attach great importance to this competition, so it is better to make a head start and let IG win a good start for LPL.

With the current strength of IG, no matter which team the LCK sends, they should be able to cope very well.

"Why don't we go first, we still have a big move, and it is still very hopeful to steal a game by surprise."

RW's coach pondered for a moment and volunteered.

The team that lost to the LCK in the group stage also held their breath.

Especially when IG defeated SKT and KT two powerful enemies, the anger of the audience was directed at EDG and RW.

They are eager to win a victory and prove themselves.

"What do you think of Chen Yu?"

The head coach of the national team, Abu, glanced at IG's coach Mafa, and then naturally shifted his gaze to Chen Yu.

"I think we should guess the order of their appearance."

Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

You can't just discuss your own order of appearance. The coaching staff of the opposite LCK will certainly not be ranked from strongest to weakest, and will also be arranged.

"The LCK side, they will definitely send the strongest team out in the first game, probably KZ! We just asked you to kill them."

RNG coach said.

"That's not necessarily the case. If it were me, I would definitely guess whether LPL will send IG to play in the first round! Using Tian Ji's horse racing method, the LCK should send a lower-ranked horse to come and have this game with IG."

Abu shook his head and expressed his opinion.

"Then what do you mean?"

Coach RW looked at Abu with some doubts.

If according to Abu’s Tian Ji’s horse racing theory, in the first game, LCK sent a low-level horse to catch IG’s high-level horse, then LPL should not let IG play, but send a medium-level horse to eat LCK’s low-level horse horse.

"Then let us go?"

RNG coach pondered.

Since IG can't be the first to play, as another LPL team that defeated the LCK team in this intercontinental game, they are well-deserved middle horses.

"Chen Yu, what do you think?"

Mafa did not express his opinion, but continued to ask Chen Yu.

The factory director and other contestants did not say a word, their eyes were fixed on Chen Yujunxiu's face.

They are no better than Chen Yu, they can act in place of the coach.

The authority of coaches in most clubs is still relatively high, at least they have a lot of say in daily life, at most they take care of the emotions of star players during BP.

"I think that the first game of the LCK may not necessarily send out inferior horses."

Chen Yu thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Also, is there really a so-called inferior horse in the LCK? Each of their teams is very strong."

Everyone was silent.

Although IG's record in the past year has been too brilliant, the LCK has been defeated.

But in fact, can other teams really beat the LCK?
In the semi-finals of last year's World Championship, RNG and SKT fought fiercely in five rounds, and finally lost. It is conceivable that the gap between the two sides was not as big as it was in the IG game.

In the group stage two days ago, two teams from the LPL were placed in the hands of the LCK.

All the teams in the LCK have shown great strength and are extremely threatening.

"Then what should we do?"

Several coaches looked at Chen Yu, waiting for the next sentence.

Since Chen Yu said so, he must have his own plan.

"Let's use the elimination method first!" Chen Yu paused, and then said: "Our IG will not be the first to appear, and the LCK side can probably guess it."

"In order to ensure victory, there is a high probability that they will send out a team that has defeated us in the LPL in the group stage."

Everyone was shocked, and whispered at the same time: "AFS and KT?"

"That's right!" Chen Yu nodded and asked, "Which of these two teams do you think the LCK will send?"

"It should be AFS. KT was beaten by you the day before yesterday. Only AFS is undefeated so far. It should be the most stable."

Uzi spoke.

"No, I think they will send KT."

Chen Yu shook his head and explained: "Everyone watched yesterday's game. LCK defeated LMS in only three games, and AFS didn't make it at all."

"Can we understand that LCK may be hiding something? Or is it creating a false impression for us?"

"The other three teams have already lost to IG, only AFS has not played against us IG, maybe this is the only hope for the LCK!"

"I don't think they will give up a three-to-zero chance!"

Hearing Chen Yu's explanation, everyone was shocked.

No one would have guessed that in Chen Yu's view, the LCK would still want to win the LPL three-to-zero.

"I think it makes sense. If they didn't want to hide AFS to play IG, they wouldn't hide AFS when they played LMS. After all, AFS is only the No. [-] seed of LCK, so they should not be qualified to play back."

"The most reasonable explanation is that they are playing IG in hiding, only they have never played against IG before."

Abu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Chen Yu's point of view.

"Then suppose we play KT in the first game of the LCK, who shall we play?"

Mafa affirmed Chen Yu's judgment without hesitation, and subconsciously used Chen Yu's judgment as the basis for discussion.

"Let's go! We lost to them in the group stage, we want to fight back!"

Before RW's coach could speak, Brother Coin couldn't help but interject.

They lost to KT in the group stage because of hidden moves. Although they were not absolutely sure of defeating KT if they enlarged their moves, they were fearless and desperately needed this opportunity to prove themselves.

"No, since you have a big move, you can't be the first to use it! Before the situation is clear, BP will affect it, and your big move may not be released."

Chen Yu directly rejected Brother Coin's proposal.

The ultimate moves are specially formulated after a long time of research and testing, and require specific BP to complete.

In the BO5 competition system of the intercontinental competition, each game is a different opponent. The BP of the first two games are all blind guesses, and there is no trace to be found.

This situation is not suitable for amplifying moves.

"That's right, I support Chen Yu's point of view. You'd better observe two more games and wait until the third and fourth rounds before you consider playing."

Abu nodded, agreeing with Chen Yu's point of view.

Coach RW also nodded when he heard the words, expressing that he could accept it.

Then he waved his hand to appease the impatient RW people.

"Then shall we go?"

Uzi couldn't help but speak.

KT's support is his old partner mata, and AD is his old opponent alpaca, which he is quite familiar with.

RNG is in a good state recently, and if they really want to fight, it doesn't necessarily mean they have no chance of winning.

Moreover, their RNG is not without hidden big moves.

Xiao Ming and others also nodded when they heard the words, thinking that they and KT could have a fighting power.

But Abramovich shook his head: "You guys are the most promising team in the LPL, and you can't play in the first game! It's best to wait and see a game or two like RW."

Afterwards, he looked at the factory manager and the others: "Let us EDG take the lead!"

The factory manager and others were all awe-inspiring, but they were filled with embarrassment.

Once upon a time, their EDG was the overlord of the LPL, and they were never reduced to the point of becoming cannon fodder.

But now, IG and RNG have clearly distanced themselves from them. Even RW is confidently hiding a winning move.

After all the calculations, only EDG can be the cannon fodder.

Although they were a little unwilling, they also knew that it was for the honor of the entire competition area, and they shouldn't care about those personal faces.

At the same time, in the LCK lounge, several coaches were also discussing the order of appearance of each team.

However, the tone seemed not very friendly, and there was even some dispute.

"I'll take the lead against Smecta! We defeated WE and RNG last year, and the LPL teams are afraid of us!"

SKT coach was the first to speak.

"Why is the LPL afraid of you? Your finals were swept by IG! I think it's better for us to take the lead. We won at least one LPL game in the group stage!"

Coach KT immediately retorted and tried to play the first game.

"You have all been defeated by IG recently, I think we should fight first and get off to a good start for the LCK!"

Coach KZ fired a double shot and ignited the anger of the coaches of KT and SKT at the same time.

"Hehe, you haven't even played LMS at MSI, who would trust you?"

The two coaches of SKT and KT sneered at the same time.

The AFS coach did not speak, just sat on the sidelines and watched coldly.

They have already guessed that LPL will not send IG to play first, so their surprise soldiers used to deal with IG will naturally not compete for the chance to take the lead.

But he is clear that the coaches of these three teams are scrambling to take the lead because it is determined that LPL will not send IG to play first.

On the surface, it is a good start for LCK, but in fact, no one wants to meet IG later.

"Let's come!"

"Let's come!"

"You KZ even lost to RNG, what else is there?"

The coaches of the three teams competed hard.

However, because KZ lost to RNG in the group stage, coach KZ was kicked out of the chat group with one sentence.

The coaches of SKT and KT looked at each other, panting.

After a while, KT's coach said: "I lasted for 10 minutes in the hands of IG!"

Coach Coma was silent for a moment.

This is rubbing salt in the wound!
He never expected that coach KT would use their massacre by IG in 6 minutes as an attack method.

I was very angry in my heart, but I had no reason to refute.

Gritting his teeth and waiting for the other party for a long time, he finally nodded helplessly: "You guys go."

"Hey, it's just that we didn't get the lead! At worst, we'll leave the second game to you."

Coach KZ seemed to have found the resonance of humiliation, patted Coach Koma on the shoulder, and comforted him.

Coach Kema glanced at him: "If you are in the LPL, if you lose the first game, who will you play in the second game?"

Several coaches suddenly fell silent.

BO5 is a total of five rounds and three wins. If the first round fails, there is no room for loss in the second round. Otherwise, if you are leading [-]-[-], the situation will be very dangerous. The difficulty of coming back is too great, almost negligible.

So in the second game, they will try their best to win and send the strongest team!

Even if they usually play BO5, if they lose one game first, they will use the strongest tactics in the second game to try to win back.

There is no doubt that if the LPL loses the first game, IG will definitely play in the second game.

"If KT wins the first game, let's play the second game."

The AFS coach who hadn't spoken all this time said helplessly.

Looking at these colleagues who talked about IG's discoloration, he was really a little embarrassed.

Although they are not sure of defeating IG, the ignorant are fearless.

If you haven't played against IG, you can't count as a loser!

"Okay! Then let us play the third game, KZ is the No. [-] seed, you stand up!"

Coach Koma was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and then volunteered to play third.

"Why don't we play a third game?"

Coach KT frowned.

Koma ignored him, but took a deep look at the AFS coach: "If the first two rounds were tied one to one, who do you think the LPL will play in the third game?"

"Take advantage of the victory to pursue another victory! RNG!"

Coach KT calmly analyzed.

"That's right. You KZ lost to RNG in the group stage, and we haven't lost a single game against RNG. I don't need to say more about who is sure?"

Koma believes in himself.

Then he changed the subject again: "Also, if AFS wins IG, they will go to RNG in the third game. If we win RNG, wouldn't it be [-]-[-]?"

"you"

Coach KZ's eyes widened, and he felt that Koma's analysis was very reasonable, and he couldn't find an angle to refute.

"Everything is for the sake of the competition area!"

Koma looked serious.

"Ok."

Coach KZ heard the words and didn't argue any more.

As long as they don't play IG, they don't care, they can play with anyone.

Moreover, in the case of a one-to-one tie in the first two rounds, there is a high probability that the LPL will send RNG second only to IG in the third round.

In the group stage, they were educated by RNG. On the contrary, SKT seemed to restrain RNG.

He will no longer fight this bad breath.

If AFS unfortunately loses to IG, they will wait for the fourth game to clean up the third and fourth seeds of LPL and it will be over.

Thinking about his No. [-] seed team in the LCK, playing against the No. [-] and No. [-] seeds in the LPL, isn't that a top-ranked horse against a low-ranked one, and it's easy to catch?

If AFS breaks out and overthrows IG, then their KZ won the championship [-]-[-], and they will also have a share of credit.

There is no disadvantage left or right!

As a result, the order of appearances on the LCK side has also been roughly negotiated.

Soon, the staff came to the lounges of both sides to take away the participating teams of the first game reported by each.

Then there are staff members to lead the participating teams in the first game to the stage.

Chen Yu and others stood at the door of the lounge, high-fiving and encouraging everyone in EDG.

Playing in the first game is under tremendous pressure. If you lose, there will be a steady stream of verbal criticism.

It can be said that EDG dared to be a pawn this time, and really made a great sacrifice for the competition area.

"Refueling factory manager! We will definitely win!"

Chen Yu said solemnly to the factory manager.

The factory manager was in a good mood, and he wasn't nervous about the upcoming battle. Instead, he joked with Chen Yu and the others: "Let's go back to being inferior horses!"
