I, who love to post on Weibo, have become a professional Tongtian generation

Chapter 492: Memory Point and Second Battle

hotel room.

With a record of 4-2 and having already secured their qualification, KZ is not as relaxed as outsiders think.

Because winning against FNC doesn't give the players a sense of accomplishment.

It was the loss to FNC that made Khan and the others feel bad. When they reviewed the mistakes that day, their faces looked as if they had eaten shit.

They know that losing to the European and American losers is not right. After all, as the Spring Champions, they should be able to make the losers run around, just like they have shown in the past few years. This is how Korean audiences see it.

Follow this angle.

The reason why KZ is not liked by the audience is that they missed the golden period of overwhelming the surrounding regions.

In the past, Korean audiences liked to discuss the topic of sending a playoff team to the semi-finals of the S-League. They discussed how strong the Korean team was and how weak the other teams were.

In the eyes of the audience.

This is a very normal discussion, because other teams that went on the expedition did not play rigorously at all.

~~~
Before starting a tactical discussion.

Hirai just reported his work to the management. When the manager asked if he could win the top once, Hirai was very hesitant.

then.

The manager was a little angry and helpless, saying that from MSI to now, there have been more and more attacks on KZ on the forums, and if this continues, the marketing costs will become higher and higher.

"I know, I guarantee, the players want to win."

Hirai hung up the phone uncomfortably after showing his pursuit of victory. He certainly knew what the club needed.

Although KZ has shown its strength in two consecutive regular seasons, this is just a league. If it wants to gather fans and expand its base, it must rely on the international stage.

The reason why SKT was able to gain the favor of its financial sponsors and gradually grow from a third-rate club to its current Korean iconic brand was all due to its foreign wars.

With such a role model.

Kingzone, who thought they had a good start, wanted to copy it. In order to create a star, they launched Khan to compete with Faker for the Korean market.

After all, it costs money to be in the newspaper.

For example, in this Spring Championship, more than a dozen newspapers helped report on it, and KZ spent 3 million won. The purpose was to take advantage of SKT's performance to see if it could become the region's business card and become a club with independent blood supply capabilities.

The entire LCK.

Apart from SKT's profits, most of them are dependent on financial support. This is definitely not healthy. As a manager, who wants to apply for a budget every time they attend a meeting? How can you get a promotion, a raise, or marry a beautiful, rich woman?

KZ's manager, like most club managers, doesn't play League of Legends at all, but that doesn't stop them from urging the team to achieve results quickly.

Under such pressure.

Hirai complained to people around him: "Two or three years ago, other regions didn't pay much attention to training, so we always won the championship. The problem is that four years have passed since S4, and the tactical gap is no longer big."

As an old man, Hirai knew the problem.

After all, professional players are picked from thousands. When they first enter youth training, they are all kings of the road. There is basically no difference between them. At most, they are good at different heroes and have different preferences.

For example, some are keen on high risk and high returns, and they wish to exchange blood all the time and pursue line kills, while some like to play tricks on the opponent.

Then the problem is coming.

There are gaming geniuses in Korea, and there are also in other places. Take Caps for example, in a one-on-one match, BDD is more likely to lose than win, whether it is reaction or position control, there is a visible difference.

Since we can't make a difference in terms of technical level, what we can compare is teamwork, ability to seize opportunities and overall map sense.

KZ manager is confused.

Obviously, KZ won the championship in both the summer season last year and the spring season this year, which shows that it is a level higher than other teams. According to past experience, even a strong team like SKT is not easy to win the league championship for two consecutive seasons.

In addition, they were eliminated last year because they met LGD in advance. Apart from the fact that they lost miserably, it doesn’t seem to be a sin.

But LGD is no longer doing well, and KZ is still the same team as last year. Why haven’t they shown the dominance that a championship-contending team should have?
Following this perspective, KZ manager listened to netizens' comments and began to doubt that the coaching staff might not be good enough. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, Hirai felt uncomfortable.

He couldn't say that his past victories were not due to strong players but to weak and stupid opponents.

The reason why LCK can become the number one league is not because Koreans are more talented, but simply because they are more formal and better able to manage players.

When LPL is good at ordering takeout and Europe and the United States are good at partying, the Korean team is working on the details. When LPL and the European region also start working on the details, the only way to widen the gap is to rely on tactical BP and smoother lane switching.

simply speaking.

KZ can't replicate SKT's success, and can't be behind in kills and still lead by 2,000 or 3,000. This kind of situation can basically only be replicated against the Vietnamese team. Only occasionally can the glory of operation be reproduced against TL.

After realizing that the gap is getting smaller and smaller.

Hirai no longer expects to defeat FNC and Top by relying on conventional content. In the past two days, he has been following the training team to carefully study FNC's games for the first time, intending to find their comfort zone and summarize relevant experience.

Not afraid of being laughed at.

Before S7, Korean coaches basically did not study the game content of other regions. They would only look at the general BP habits and know which heroes they are best at.

And after losing to FNC.

The pressure forced them to stay up late to watch videos and deepen their understanding of FNC.

Similarly, although they pay attention to the top, they also hope to win the game by following the usual methods of the league. Because the targeted design of tactics requires energy, staying up late every day will easily make you old.

If there is any choice.

Who is willing to endure the boredom and watch the video over and over again... For a long time, foreign teams were not the imaginary enemies of Korean clubs. No one is willing to endure the boredom and find other common points.

In this world, those who have status but do not pursue enjoyment are the odd ones out.

but…

Research is really useful.

KZ was able to take revenge on FNC because the training team discovered Hailisang's roaming habits. He is the kind of player who will go to the river and jungle when there is a good lane. Just like Xiba has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

to be honest.

Helisan didn't want to just help Rekkles eat the lane in peace.

In Hailisang's eyes, it doesn't matter if the AD has fewer last hits. Letting him go and cause trouble is far better than two people laning in the bottom lane.

Take advantage of this.

KZ chose a lineup with the bottom lane as the spearhead.

As expected, even though there was pressure in the laning phase, as long as KZ took measures to control the line and accumulate troops, Hailisang would run around.

Every time this time.

As long as you don't give up in the top lane, Rekkles will suffer...

嗏

Even so, KZ's victory was not easy.

Because FNC likes to fight around the middle lane, and Caps is brave and aggressive, the little advantage gained in the bottom lane can only become a tolerance cost, and it is difficult to kill FNC by relying on the bottom half.

This made Hirai feel even more deeply: things are different now.

With such a heavy heart, Hirai came to the sofa area in the living room. At this time, the team members stopped the ranking and came to discuss the general tactical content.

"Cough cough."

The training team cleared their throats and said, "Tomorrow we will play Top in the fifth game, let's talk."

"We're on blue side this time." Hirai followed up, "Let's see what to ban, we'll feel better."

“Do you think we should still ban Irelia?” The first question from the training group was: “This hero is not strong in the first place and is only suitable for the last place. If she is a mid-lane…” The people in the training group did not continue the conversation.

But everyone here understands.

After all, with BDD's proficiency, he can only play in the regular season and should not pretend to be in the big competition. Not to mention that Penicillin can play the crocodile. Not only will there be no swaying effect if he comes out first, but he will also be given extra care.

"Then Irelia, Sion, and Sejuani?"

The training team gave some guidance: "I don't really want Peanut to get Sejuani, but if he does, the missing damage will need to be made up by other positions."

This is another question.

From the spring season to now, Tarzan has always been the rhythm sub-C, not a pure tool man, and KZ does not emphasize initiating team fights, but generally relies on the advantage of the side lanes to force the jungle.

emmm.

KZ's comfort zone is to focus on the top and jungle in the laning phase, take advantage of the advantage of pushing a certain lane first in the mid-term, and speed up around Tarzan.

Moreover, when fighting in the jungle, Khan can follow the T or continue to take the tower depending on the situation, and he has more options than his opponent.

Khan frowned and said, "If the opponent kills Ezreal and grabs the explosives, we can only play in the upper half."

Lost last time.

It’s because there is no rhythm in both halves.

From Khan's perspective, unless the opponent is strong in the top and jungle, it is difficult to have a big enough advantage. And every time he sees the mid laner suffer a loss, he will feel anxious.

With this mentality, Khan suggested: "If we have Jayce, we can grab him. If not, we have to find a way to do something and not let the opponent get too comfortable."

"That was the case that day. I had a clear advantage in the laning phase, but I couldn't defeat him after catching him in the second wave."

Khan's idea is simple.

He was screwed, his teammates should earn something back, or stop causing trouble in the middle and lower levels, and play 2v2 or 3v3 with Top.

As the LCK solo kill king, the coaching staff certainly has confidence in Khan.

Seeing him say this, the training team had only one question: "Isn't it enough to just attack the top lane? Peanut usually helps out more."

With Penicillin's strength, he doesn't need too much care from the jungler or the support. Instead of becoming conjoined twins, it's better to let Peanut play freely. If things go smoothly, the snowball effect will be more efficient.

After all, in S7, Eimy often fell behind in economy. Because he liked to stay in the middle, he might not even eat the first group of stone beetles when other junglers finished the third circle.

Ok.

In Eimy's eyes, as long as the mid lane is comfortable, it doesn't matter if he loses a little.

But in the eyes of people like Hailisang, instead of two people waiting in line, it is better to take 2 seconds to stroll around. In case you bump into something, you will get some benefits.

The same reason.

Unless the opposing mid and jungle really want to play, the profits created in the same period of time will definitely not be as good as making money alone.

one more.

With Xiaohuasheng's planning ability, he can steal a group from time to time and get ahead in the game. Therefore, while Qin Hao puts pressure on the jungle, he also puts pressure on the jungle. This is the strength of the Qinghua combination.

Even if the fight doesn't work, the advantage can be maintained by relying on last-hitting and jungle economy. As a last-hitting machine, Qin Hao rarely misses a hit, and if the wards are in place, the jungler can help other lanes gain an advantage.

"Yes, we need to look for opportunities to attack in both lanes and not let the opponent make money." Hirai was also not confident about the late-game content.

In addition, the effect of Grasshopper was very poor that day, so Hirai felt that he had to choose some heroes that would be useful in team battles for BDD, instead of just letting him serve as bodyguard for AD.

Thinking of this, I feel a little sorry for Hirai. Because the inspiration of this set comes from SSG. It's just that the lineup can be imitated and the laning rhythm can be learned, but when it comes to team battles, Pray is not as good as Ruler.

He believed that if the team focused on Ruler that day, they would be able to achieve good results.

After all, Ruler is incredibly strong this season - CuVee was average in the spring season, and Crown was slow in training heroes. Even with two fewer players, SSG was able to make it to the playoffs.

"Also, Top's wards are concentrated on both sides of the middle lane. As long as the middle lane wards are about to disappear and the bottom lane is the safety line, the opponent's support will definitely go back to the middle lane.

If you want to put pressure on the enemy, you need to change the jungle pattern and not follow the normal rotation. We actually did a good job in this regard. "

After praising Tarzan, Hirai added: "The 4-minute wave was normal and the opponent was sent home. We were able to seize the opportunity to place wards and force the opponent to lose experience."

In KZ's eyes, the top three lanes have no flaws, and they can only seize the rounds that the opponent gives up and build up some advantages.

For example, take advantage of the opponent's support to put out a ward, force the AD to leak some experience, and then use the node of grabbing level 6 to do something.

While preparing for the attack in the bottom lane, they exchanged blood in the top lane to attract the jungler's attention, and used the quality of this half of the zone to fight Top.

In short.

Hirai now only wants to revolve around the two flanks.

"If we can hold off the enemy from the front, Jin Gong will not come to join us." Khan reminded, "So if we want to fight, it's best if we don't have TP, or fight on my side."

This annoyed Khan.

He was afraid that he would end up like Da Mu, falling behind in the match.

"Um…"

Seeing that the discussion was getting more and more in-depth, BDD took the initiative to suggest: "In this case, we don't have to ban Sion in the first three bans."

Everyone looked over, and BDD said, "It's better to ban Vampire... If the opponent chooses this kind of hero, other heroes will be difficult to suppress except Karma and Ryze."

"The problem is that Top can shake."

"I can play both Anivia and Big Eye, and they don't necessarily choose them - the strength of this system is that it can put pressure on the two lanes, and simply going up can only resist pressure."

KZ has played training matches with RNG and knows how disgusting Sion is in the mid lane.

Hirai hesitated.

It’s not that I don’t trust the middle lane, but I’ve rarely won a game that used surprising tactics.

To be honest, BDD's hero pool is also biased. He can play a few traditional mages, but not very good at AD and warriors. Moreover, among mages, he does not have the ability to play foxes.

For teammates, they have a high win rate in training matches and have a foundation of trust, but it’s not always the case in the official matches.

With the help of Akali and Anivia, KZ doesn't have to worry about the horizontal line problem in the middle lane. In team fights, they can also focus on the middle lane to suppress the health of the front row and control the resources.

finally.

Hirai agreed: "If they choose, we will add Big Eye or Ice Bird depending on the situation. If they don't choose, we will still lock Ice Girl in the first three floors."

Just when KZ was trying to add more burden to Pray.

The North American commentators thought that FNC was not strong enough, arguing that the support fluctuated too much and relied too much on improvisation. The European commentators said that North America relied entirely on foreign players, and the local strength was too weak, so it was not their turn to comment.

No matter how Europe and the United States talk nonsense.

smlz became popular because of 17225, and his followers on Weibo increased exponentially. After all, from the big brother complaining to Penicillin defending on the stage, it was full of highlights.

Those who posted 17225 everywhere did so not because of a sense of accomplishment, but because the thing itself was very interesting. In the words of Qing fans, it was the first time they saw Qin Hao confront someone on stage.

same.

The five kills plus 17 kills in a single game made the event memorable, causing those who didn't watch the game to find it interesting.

5 pm.

As FNC changed its formation to give Caps a core, Bwipo failed to complete the suppression task while losing his strongest offensive point.

After winning against FNC.

Top once again faced off against Kingzone DragonX…
