LOL: Do you have any regrets?

Chapter 355 The Master Watching the Apprentice Competition
The first game was over, everyone in EDG took off their headphones and got up.

Unlike usual, everyone's expression is not relaxed.

They found that SKT really came prepared this time. When they faced SKT before, they were relatively relaxed.

Especially in the S6 finals, it was considered very easy to win SKT.

Chen Luoyang didn't even die very often, maintaining a very terrifying KDA, but today was different. In this match alone, Chen Luoyang was killed twice!
It seemed normal for a top laner to die twice in one match, but it was very abnormal for Chen Luoyang!
Except for the first time when he played professionally, Chen Luoyang's experience was not enough. In the subsequent games, Chen Luoyang would often die more than once in a game, and most of the time there would be no single death.

Everyone in EDG returned to the lounge, and Abramovich was already waiting.

After everyone entered the door, Abu greeted: "Everyone has worked hard, sit down first."

Everyone in EDG found their own seats and sat down. Abramovich said:

"In this game, we can see that SKT has studied us a lot, especially on the top lane."

"Their style of play is completely different from the LCK, and it's obviously specially prepared for us."

"If it weren't for Luoyang's very tricky first ward, which made SKT's first wave of ganks deflated, this match would have been even more difficult."

After hearing this, the factory manager said, "It's mainly my problem. I didn't expect Little Peanut to go on a hunger strike and go wild now."

"I think their games in the LCK are still very traditional. They focus on the development of the wild area, grab people when they have the opportunity, and don't spend too much time squatting."

"I didn't expect this scene to change suddenly."

Abramovich continued: "So, let's not listen to what they have been saying to look down on LPL. Let's see what they are doing. They must have spent a lot of time in private."

"In contrast, we are focusing on the other two teams in the LCK. This is not in our favor, so we must be careful."

Everyone in EDG nodded after listening.

The next game will be a match between the other two teams in the same group, everyone in EDG can rest for a while.

By the way, let's see if other teams have a new understanding of the version.

Soon, the second game began.

From IMT to C9, everyone in C9 is already familiar with the team.

After all, they have been playing training games together, and they have some understanding of their strength.

In the past, the North American division had a style of fighting in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, it would lose the chain when it needed to be operated and teamed up.

For them, maybe going to the LCK to learn how to operate is a good choice, but they ended up training with the LPL team.

Now the C9 team has become a replica of IG, highlighting the ability to fight in the early and mid-term.

Entering the BP stage, C9 directly took out the middle and upper fields of Syndra, Rambo and the blind monk, highlighting a quick decision.

On the IMG side, it seems to be more seriously affected by the LCK, and they have a stable operating lineup.

What to play against wild boar girl, top lane troll, mid lane clockwork, bottom lane is Dazui plus a Lulu.

It seems that the team battle is very beautiful, as long as the double C equipment is good enough, no one can stand it.

At the same time, my front row is still very hard, and the troll, a hero, can absorb the resistance and HP of the opponent's front row.

In this way, from an intuitive point of view, as long as C9 is dragged to the later stage, it will basically lose.

Even the commentator is not very optimistic about C9's lineup, only the baby explained:
"Is the lineup of C9 too rigid to be honest? Didn't they think about playing in the mid-to-late game?"

"As long as it is delayed to 10 minutes, the game can be declared over, and team battles cannot be played."

Miller: "If an LPL team like EDG or IG gets this lineup, I think it's completely capable. Anyway, you blow up the opponent in the early stage, so that the double C can't develop."

"But C9...I don't think they have the ability."

Hearing this, everyone in EDG laughed.

They didn't laugh at Doll and Miller. They were thinking of how rich their expressions would be when the match really started, when Waffle and Miller found out that things were different from what they thought.

After the lineup is determined, the game begins.

Just like everyone in EDG thought, C9 made troubles as soon as they came up.

They are the red side, directly invading the wild area at the first level, and exchanging wild areas with the opposite side.

IMT is not an opponent here, and can only choose to avoid.

After the two sides exchanged wild areas, on C9's side, the jungler chose Super Three.

In the middle lane, choose the third-level push line and the jungler to go straight to the bottom lane, and then directly cross the tower and double kill.

Seeing this, Abu said: "Their execution is really good, and the cooperation between the middle and the field is very good."

"The jungler is promoted to the third level and goes down the road. The mid laner just pushes the pawn line over, and it is planned in advance."

The factory manager nodded and said: "It seems that we didn't teach in vain, and they have a pretty good foundation. They used to play more casually and didn't plan ahead."

"However, the biggest problem for C9 is how to expand after gaining the advantage and how to end the game. I don't know how to solve this problem."

Everyone in EDG is like a group of teachers watching students taking exams. Now is the time to test the quality of teaching.

C9 opened the breakthrough from the bottom lane, and then drove hard to stare at the bottom lane.

Syndra is in the middle, and he always has the right to line, so he leans down when he has nothing to do.

On the IMT side, after the jungler was switched to the top half of the jungle, it was difficult to cooperate because his top laner was a troll.

In addition, C9's top laner is wretched enough, so he can't find a chance at all.

Although IMT's bot lane was as wretched as possible, he was caught with a wave of opportunities and was double-killed again.

The situation was completely controlled by C9, and the lineup of IMT itself was very weak in the early stage.

Now also being led by so much economy.

As for C9, they didn't just think about fighting.

When it's time to help dismantle the tower, dismantle the tower, take the dragon if there is a dragon, and maximize your own advantages as much as possible.

Seeing this scene, the factory manager expressed his satisfaction: "That's right, their current rhythm is much stronger than before. Although they could win fights and lead in kills before, they couldn't open up the economy."

"Now the advantage of the economy and the lead in headcount are synchronized, which proves that it is not dry head."

Chen Luoyang also affirmed: "It's already pretty good, compared to a team of their level."

"However, if we want to win the LCK and the teams in our division, we are still a bit short in hard power. It feels like they won't be able to qualify this time."

When it comes to this issue, everyone in EDG can't say anything. If they want to blame, they can only blame C9 for being assigned to this group.

This group has EDG and SKT at the same time, and it is too difficult for others to advance.

Soon, the second game ended, and C9 won the game relatively easily.

In the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller were already staring wide-eyed. They seemed to have not calmed down. They couldn't believe it was C9!

This kind of decisiveness and aggressiveness can generally only be seen in LPL teams.

However, the two reacted quite quickly. They remembered that C9 was training with the LPL team.

It took it for granted that C9's style of play was actually learned from the LPL team.

The third game is Group D, G2 vs. RNG!

Seeing these two team names, Chen Luoyang only felt a sudden sense of joy.

Because in the world before crossing, there were many grievances between the two teams.

But this world hasn't happened yet, Chen Luoyang is actually quite looking forward to it.

He really wants to know if the world will be different, if RNG will overturn in the hands of G2.

Although this is the S7 season, RNG overturned in the hands of G2 in S8.

But in the past two seasons, G2 has been training with the LPL team and has improved very fast.

It might not be possible to complete the duel of fate ahead of schedule.

After a short break, the third game began.

In this match between RNG and G2, RNG got a lineup that has a rhythm in the early stage and can play a team in the later stage.

Although LPL is a region that likes to fight very much, not every team only plays in the early stage.

The overall rhythm of fighting remains unchanged, but each team will adjust according to its own situation.

For example, RNG, RNG is now trying to hit the middle field in the early stage.

And the bottom lane UZI chooses an ADC that can cover the bottom line. This version is also suitable for the bottom line of the ADC.

It was this style of play that allowed RNG to beat IG in the regular season of the LPL Summer Split.

On the other hand, G2's lineup has more offensive attributes.

The upper middle field is very strong, and the lower road is a direct tool.

It can be seen that G2 is still quite afraid of UZI in the bottom lane, and dare not use hard steel on the line.

The assistant took out Luo directly, and rushed to fight and swim.

At the beginning of the game, this shot was switched between the middle and bottom lanes.

After all, the top laners of both sides are blue-collar workers, which is not the point.

Xiaohu in the middle of the road does not seem to be the opponent of the hat king, and has been suppressed and beaten.

Although it is not possible to be solo killed, he was suppressed in the last knife, and the line power has always been in the hands of the hat emperor.

Seeing this scene, Meikou said: "G2's mid laner seems interesting, even Xiaohu can't beat him."

Factory Manager: "The laning is very detailed, and the awareness of preventing ganks is also very good, it depends on how good the roaming ability is."

As a result, as soon as the factory director finished speaking, the hat emperor started to swim away.

At this time, the G2 jungler has already squatted in the bottom lane, waiting for the middle lane to come.

Seeing this scene, Abu said: "How do I feel that they have all learned this trick."

"When the middle lane has the right to line, before the sixth level, the middle and wild will go to the bottom lane to do things together."

"The difference is that G2's bot lane is at a disadvantage, and the pawn line can't push in, so they can't jump over the tower."

"But RNG's pressure line is relatively deep, and they can gank without jumping over the tower."

Abu said, RNG had an accident in the bottom lane, and UZI was killed.

On the top lane, Mala Xiangguo tried to find an opportunity on the top lane, but failed to find it. G2's top laner would rather not eat experience, and would not give RNG a chance.

Chen Luoyang suddenly had an idea: "I guess other teams in the future will learn this trick, we can find a way to counter it."

"Maybe it can help us gain the advantage first."

Abu agreed: "Well, but it doesn't feel easy, because if you don't have the line right in the middle, you can only support in the top lane."

"On the road, you must play enough advantages, and then cooperate with the jungler to perform a counter-squat."

"The support also needs to be given a support eye position in advance."

After all, Abramovich is a coach, so he immediately thought of a possibility.

When Abu said this, the factory manager echoed: "I feel that we meet this requirement. It is not a big problem for Luoyang to have an advantage in the top lane."

"It's best to allow the opponent to jump the tower, so that even the opponent's top laner can also TP over, and the tower can be played four-on-five."

Meikou: "Then I will give the eye position according to the time, and put the sight on the grass on my side in advance."

Everyone in EDG started to offer various ideas.

The game is still going on, and G2 got a little advantage in the early stage.

But RNG is not a weak team, and Malaxiangguo is not the kind of jungler who is at a disadvantage and does nothing.

Maohuang GANK handed over Flash in the bottom lane, so Mala Xiangguo came to the middle lane to squat hard.

The first time he didn't squat down, after brushing a wave of wild monsters, he came back in another direction.

This time he was allowed to squat down and cooperate with Xiaohu to complete the kill.

However, this wave was not over yet, and the two went down together again.

Although the bottom lane was gank once, it still had an advantage. Pushing the line into the tower and directly jumping over the tower, on the contrary, G2's bottom lane collapsed a bit.

And G2 is not idle here, Nakano went on the road together to overthrow Rangdi, the two sides come and go, are doing things, there is no time to stop.

This game was much more exciting than the previous one, and even the commentary was more vigorous.

The economies of the two sides have not been opened up, and the headcounts are similar.

However, RNG's fat is in the middle and bottom, while G2's fat is in the middle and wild.

Entering the mid-term grouping, when the economy is almost down, the gap in the ability of the two parties to accept the group is reflected.

G2's frontal team battle is not an opponent at all, the most obvious is the gap in the position of the ADC.

This version of ADC is too critical, and Ah P is not good at playing traditional ADC, he likes to go down to mage.

But when the mage goes down the road, the support is useless, and the incense burner cannot be released.

Ah P is a traditional ADC selected with no hesitation, and directly pulls the cross in the team, causing G2 to retreat steadily.

Seeing this scene, Chen Luoyang sighed: "This version of G2 is not good, it relies too much on the bot lane, and we still have to wait for the S8 version to have a chance to win against IG."

Chen Luoyang's casual words shocked everyone in EDG!

Everyone thinks there is no problem with the first half of the sentence, but the key is the second half of the sentence!
The factory manager was the first to react, and he asked in confusion: "Ah? What did you just say? How do you know what version S8 is?"

Chen Luoyang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then realized that he had slipped up, and quickly changed his words:
"No, what I mean is that G2 has no chance of winning against RNG in this version. It will definitely change in the S8 version. Maybe G2 will have a chance."

"And you see, the ADC in this version is already deformed. According to the previous rules, the next version will definitely be greatly weakened."

"RNG is a team that relies on the bottom lane of Kerry, which is naturally not good for them."

Everyone in EDG nodded after hearing this, as if they thought what Chen Luoyang said made sense.

Seeing that he had passed the test by fooling around, Chen Luoyang was relieved.

Soon, the third game ended, and RNG finally won the game under the leadership of UZI.

Chen Luoyang was not surprised. Although many people hated UZI, the past two years were indeed his peak.

Since the training match with EDG, UZI has also realized the importance of Xia, and has already trained this hero.

Without this shortcoming, RNG should be able to go further in this version.

The fourth game was EDG against MIT in the same group.
