Chapter 191 The perfect date

The next day.

The VG group took a noon flight from San Francisco and did not land in Chicago until the evening.

After having dinner at a random burger restaurant outside, everyone in VG stayed at a hotel arranged by Riot Games and started a new round of practice.

"Everyone, please don't go out privately during this period," team leader Jin Wenhyuk reminded the players in the training room. "Chicago is not a very safe place and is quite chaotic. Unification of food and other matters will be resolved in the hotel."

The crowd complied.

Before I came here, I had heard a lot of rumors that local gangs were rampant and extremely dangerous especially at night.

As long as you don't think you have a long life, there is no reason to go out and wander around.

Tonight, VG’s training target is H2K.

After entering the quarterfinals, there are even fewer teams that are still organizing training matches.

Coupled with the division, VG can only look for a few teams in the top half to compete.

SKT is still the same, refusing to practice tactics with VG, so the only targets are CLG, H2K, and RNG.

I originally thought that H2K could only get the first place in the group because they were in a weak group like Group C, and their own strength was not strong.

But after one night's training match, the two sides ended up in a [-]-[-] tie.

Lin Yi and his teammates looked at each other, obviously not expecting this outcome.

"Hey, don't tell me, the opponent is really fierce," Brother Long scratched his head, "The middle and jungle are so strong!"

Dandy also expressed his own comments at this time, "Their jungler is Jankos, right? The European first-blood king does have something."

Hongmi brought up the data about H2K in the group stage on the screen, "Don't underestimate others. Even our opponent's average economic lead in the first 15 minutes of each game is slightly lower than ours."

VG is a team that likes to attack in the early stage, and the bottom lane is the rhythm point to start the situation.

Overall in the group stage, VG's first-blood tower rate topped all the world's top teams!
Although this is inseparable from Lin Yi's laning ability, AD is always AD, and the protection of the midfield and upper jungle is still needed before the equipment is fully formed.

Otherwise, once the enemy frequently targets the bottom lane, no matter how strong Lin Yi's personal strength is, he will not be able to display it.

This is also the reason why Dandy hung in the lower half most of the time in the early stage.

Similar to VG, H2K is also a team that pays great attention to early offense.

It's just that their core focus is the jungle.

It is not without reason that Jankos can be called the first-blood king of Europe. His violent style of play can always make achievements in the early stage, tearing apart the enemy's defense and delivering a fatal blow.

Although the star player Ryu in the team is the background of the double calamity battle, his personal strength is really not weak, no worse than the current world-class mid laner. With such a mid laner, it is not surprising that H2K can gain a huge advantage in the first 15 minutes. .

"Let's continue," Hongmi simply reviewed the mistakes of the previous games for the players. "They are quite intense. We must take them seriously. In the subsequent training games, we will try to delay it a little later and circle around the baron." Let’s start a rhythm with the ancient dragon and practice our team-fighting abilities by the way!”

He had a smile on his face, as if he had found a treasure.

You must know that VG’s opponent in the quarterfinals is Samsung!

There is no reason why Hongmi should not be familiar with the team he has played with the most during the summer split. After all, this is still his old club.

SSG's operating philosophy is to focus on defensive counterattacks, which can be regarded as an enhanced version of IM!

The most restrained style of play is to continuously attack in the early stage to create an advantage, and then slowly turn it into a victory through resource plunder.

The battle with H2K can help VG train their rhythm ability for the first 15 minutes!
To put it bluntly, this is what VG needs most right now.

Hongmi feels that if this continues, he will soon be able to capture Samsung's seven inches!
The two teams played a few more training games.

H2K's crazy attack in the early stage really taught VG a lot.

The entire team is adapting very quickly to the opponent's aggressive attack!
In contrast, the training matches between the two teams are getting longer and longer, and AG's matchup is rarely announced in the first 15 minutes.

However, compared to the perfect rhythm in the early stage, H2K's mid-to-late stage abilities are much stretched.

As long as it does not enter the transition period with a huge advantage, VG can easily equalize the situation through superb operations.

And once they enter a team battle, the level of the two sides is even more different.

VG's team fighting ability will not benefit even if SKT comes.

The five players all have a keen sense of teamfighting, and the most important thing is a clear division of labor.

A face-riding player like Lin Yi is like a sharp knife. His forward movement can effectively attract enemy skills, which allows Hou Ye, who is relatively stable, to have a good output environment.

Double C, one fierce and one stable, complement each other perfectly.

The three Uenosuke are responsible for rushing into the formation and protecting them. They can often bring out the heroic characteristics of the characters they control and perform their duties.

The five players are like an expensive machine, each part is indispensable, and together they drive VG to be invincible in team battles!

In comparison, H2K seems a bit immature.

As long as they have a balance of power, even if Xiaoyou enters the team battle, he will be pulled by VG without the ability to resist, and will be defeated in just a moment.

Hongmi deliberately asked the players to delay the situation in the late team battle, not that they wanted to ravage the opponent in the areas they were good at.

The purpose of training matches is to improve the strength of the team.

But it cannot be said that VG only cares about their own improvement, but neglects the other party.

H2K's early rhythm is perfect, but their areas of weakness are operations and teamfights.

VG postponed the training matches to the later stage for this reason, to help them improve their late-stage capabilities.

Only if both teams can learn something will the training match be necessary to continue.

If only VG benefits, then why would they want to fight with you in the future?

We are not next door, so we don’t act selfishly. H2K is obviously aware of VG's good intentions, so it works extra hard, and is full of fighting spirit even if it suffers repeated defeats!
The European division has always been known for its optimism in LOL, and this is true, but entering the knockout stage, no team wants to be kicked out so quickly.

The lifespan of a professional player is only a few years, and no one knows whether they will still be able to stand on the world stage next year.

And with such a good training target, VG even turned down CLG's request to play in the past few days when preparing for Samsung.

At most, I played against the local team RNG a few times, and other than that, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to training matches with H2K.

Time flies like a white horse.

Soon the day of the opening ceremony of the quarterfinals came.

In order to prepare for the game in good condition, the VG Training Department deliberately ended training early the night before.

Lin Yi, who had had enough sleep, did not delay in getting up. After washing, he put on his team uniform and went to the training room.

Teammates and other members of the training department arrived one after another.

Today all eight teams will go to the competition venue, but except for VG and Samsung who need to go on stage to compete, the other teams will just show their faces.

Lin Yi put the peripherals into his backpack, then left the training room and headed to the Chicago Theater under the guidance of the staff.

As soon as we left the hotel, we met Uzi.

The other party hesitated for a moment and finally came over.

"How about it, are you confident of winning today?"

Uzi's face still looked a little sleepy, and he had obviously just woken up.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and then said: "It's hard to say, who has the ability to win the LCK team for sure?"

"That's right," Uzi said with a distressed look on his face, "Speaking of how you defeated SKT, can you tell me some tricks?"

When the draws were made for the first quarter-finals, he was still overjoyed to be in the same half as H2K.

As a result, RNG finally faced off against SKT, and I suddenly felt like crying.

I can only say how happy I was at first, but now how melancholy I am.

As the double champion, SKT has always been a mountain that is difficult for all teams to cross!
It will not be easy to defeat them with RNG's strength.

As Lin Yi walked forward, he looked around and saw that the rest of the RNG players were not close to them, so he said, "You guys are still practicing those two systems, right? One is to protect the bottom, and the other is to surround the midfielder. beat."

Seeing Uzi nod, he continued, "I think we can give up the idea of ​​playing in the lower half."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the overall strength of the upper and lower halves of this year's quarterfinals is not at the same level.

What kind of roles are there on SKT?
There are two European and American teams, and there is RNG, which is still wavering in its tactical system.

Many netizens even began to congratulate SKT for reaching the finals as soon as the lottery ceremony ended.

No one thinks these three teams can stop SKT.

On the other hand, in the second half, VG and the Tigers came together, plus a three-star team.

It's impossible to get out of this half area without losing your skin.

No matter who the final winner is, many hidden tricks will have to be exposed.

Comparing the two, it was too easy for SKT to reach the finals.

Lin Yi decided to take precautions and give RNG some advice first. No matter what, he couldn't let SKT reach the end so easily.

"You must first understand the characteristics of SKT. They are essentially a traditional team that relies on double C. Unlike ROX, they are all stable and development-oriented. Smeb and Peanut can solve many problems on the frontal battlefield together. "

Uzi frowned when he heard this, "Don't we still have to play in the lower half to suppress the development of Faker and Bang?"

Lin Yi nodded, then shook his head after a moment.

Uzi was confused by his appearance.

"I don't understand. Does RNG have the strength?" Lin Yi put his hand on Uzi's shoulder, "Take your bot lane as an example, can the combination of you and Mata suppress Bang and Wolf to death?"

Uzi was silent.

Lin Yi saw his reluctance and couldn't help but said with relief, "No one knows better than you how weak Mata is in the lane now. He is old, how can he compare with a monster like Wolf who is in his prime?"

Lin Yi paused and then said, "The operation is not good, but Mata's brain is good. Why don't you let him roam offline and lead the rhythm? Besides, this is what RNG played in the Spring Split. He is very familiar with the tactics. How do you need to practice?”

"So I say, if you have time to practice protecting, you might as well continue to play in the middle and jungle. As for the AD position, just dig out the tools and that's it."

Uzi sighed, "It seems that's true. RNG and VG are in different situations, so naturally we can't use your tricks."

"But even if I am willing to use tool man, can Xiaohu beat Faker?"

Lin Yi waved his hand, "He is indeed not good, but your top laner is very powerful. Although Duke's personal strength is not weak, his status in SKT is clearly not as good as Double C, and he prefers sidelines rather than frontal battles. If RNG can use Looper to crush Duke, SKT's 131 system will be useless."

SKT is a team that likes and is good at delaying the late game.

In the mid-term, relying on Faker and Duke's 131-point push is extremely disgusting. It can create space and develop at the fastest speed. Once the double-C equipment is formed, almost no team can compete with SKT.

Lin Yi's trick for Uzi is also very simple. Just develop steadily with the opponent in the bottom lane. Uzi and Mata can't suppress Bang and Wolf, but at least there is no problem in the horizontal line.

Top laner Looper pinned Duke to death and let him face Faker in the mid-term, blocking SKT's development rhythm.

At that time, RNG will use their best Ye-Shu double game in the spring split to open up the enemy's gap, speeding up and forcing SKT to take over.

I'm not saying that we can win for sure, but at least we don't have to be as frustrated as before when we were a few thousand ahead of SKT and five thousand behind.

Uzi kept Lin Yi's warning firmly in mind, and with a hint of understanding, he headed in the direction of his team in a daze.
