LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 368 2-1 Decisive Moment! The Championship is Just One Step Away!
Fiora was forced to face the enemy.

However, in direct team fights, this lineup of the Korean team has no advantage whatsoever, because they lack the ability to initiate team fights effectively.

Instead, they were relentlessly poked and harassed by Uzi's AP Kai'Sa.

Finally, when the game reached 29 minutes, the CN team once again replicated their previous three-fly strategy!
Successfully initiated a team fight and charged in!
The South Korean team was wiped out near the mid-lane high ground tower.

They pushed down the enemy's base crystal in one fell swoop.

They won the match.

Leading 2-1, they are just one win away from the gold medal!
"This is the style that our LPL region is most familiar with, and the players on the field have carried on the regional style to the national team very well!"

"No need for fancy operations, we'll seize any opportunity to fight you!"

Miller jumped up excitedly, "2-1! With two match points in hand, we're just one step away from the gold medal!"

Mahaka Square was already a scene of jubilation.

The spectators who traveled from afar to support the national team, though few in number, did not hold back their cheers and applause, creating a grand atmosphere!
This has shown everyone the fervor of esports fans, which is why traditional sports are considering incorporating esports events—because esports has captured the hearts of young people!

Whoever controls the youth will be the trendsetter of the future.

"Indeed, this is the kind of operational rhythm that the Korean team is best at using strong top laners to split push on the side lanes, and they also controlled the rhythm for a period of time in the mid-game."

"But we still managed to break through with our strong team fight strategy! If we can beat you once with the same method, we can beat you a second time!!"

The doll chimed in from the side!

On the players' side, the South Korean team members didn't look too happy, clearly very dissatisfied with the result.

Back on the backstage, Lee Sang-hyeok was the first to speak, "We can't continue using the split-push strategy anymore; this tactic won't be able to defeat the opponent."

Upon hearing this, the Khan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but due to Lee Sang-hyeok's status in the underworld, he dared not show it.

So it's all my fault? Didn't I, Fiora, manage to gain an advantage against Aatrox?!
Even with limited help from his teammates, Khan still managed to solo kill Flandre. It's fair to say that Khan completely dominated Flandre in the top lane.

It's really not appropriate to shift the blame to him.

However, Lee Sang-hyeok quickly continued, "I don't mean to blame anyone. The loss in the last game was mainly because we didn't handle the front line well."

The Khan's expression softened considerably. It wasn't Lee Sang-hyeok who was prone to shifting blame; he possessed a noble character. Blaming his teammates was pointless; if he had performed better, they might have won.

Strong players generally have this mindset. After all, they can't control their teammates, but they can control themselves, increasing their training intensity to squeeze out more potential!
"What I want to say is... that operation is indeed a good system, and this approach has helped us almost dominate the game League of Legends in the past."

Lee Sang-hyeok shared his perspective: "But what about the past year? With the changes in the new version, everyone can clearly feel that operations are struggling!"

The first point is the removal of the green jungle item and the limitation on the number of wards.

Operational tactics require a large field of vision to provide sufficient map information so that you can make the best decisions.

Previously, Korean teams' vision control could always simultaneously ensure the safety of solo laners and the safety of four players grouped together in the front.

However, in Season 8, Riot Games forced players to choose between two options through version changes!

If limited vision resources are used entirely to protect the top laner, the front line will be full of holes, and the opponent will always be able to find defensive loopholes to initiate team fights!
Moreover, the various version updates and hero reworks all encourage players to rush in and fight, abandoning the Shakespearean strategy of macro play. The Korean teams' repeated defeats against LPL teams over the past year, besides the increasing age of this generation of players, also stem from their playstyles completely deviating from the current meta. Anyone who deviates from the meta will pay the price.

Looking at the top-performing teams in the LCK, such as KZ and KT, their playstyles clearly show some influence from the LPL region, even though they are in the LCK league.

That means they are very good at fighting, and don't pursue strategy at all!

To the untrained eye, the key to the third game might be that the Korean team lost the crucial Rift Herald fight.

What hurt them the most was actually the loss of the mid-lane tower.

If the mid-lane tower doesn't fall, they won't face as much vision pressure, giving the Fiora on the side lanes more room to maneuver.

After the mid-lane tower fell, the vision pressure became too great, so they chose to protect Fiora. As a result, the CN team repeatedly tried to flank and engage on them.

Of course, they must also admit one thing.

In terms of decisively initiating team fights and finding the right moment to do so, the LPL region, which is accustomed to fighting all the time, definitely has an advantage.

Upon hearing Lee Sang-hyeok's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement, with Peanut, Khan, and the bottom laners Mr. Dai and Daquanchun expressing their strong agreement.

They are from KZ and KT respectively, and they also like to fight.

The South Korean coaching staff was in a bit of a dilemma at this point.

They all understood the reasoning, and what Lee Sang-hyeok said was also very true.

However, there is a problem: if fighting is the game track chosen by the LPL region, then split pushing and macro-management is the track chosen by the Korean teams.

Is it really possible to win by abandoning your best track and competing in someone else's best track?

But as the losing side, they must take the initiative to make adjustments.

At this moment, Mafa took the initiative to speak up, "Let's fight. Our foundation is not bad, there's no need to be afraid of them. Let's choose a fighting system for the next game."

Edgar habitually pressed the ballpoint pen in his hand, making a ticking sound. As the most senior member of the coaching staff, he held the power of decision.

"Then let's fight!"

At this point, KkOma also started giving the team members some motivational speeches.

"Come on, let's all cheer each other on!" KkOma called the Korean team members together.

The barbecue stall's ability to turn adversity into success over the past few years is inseparable from his inspirational quotes. In fact, many of the famous sayings that Lee Sang-hyeok uses are actually taught to him by KkOma.

"Every game from now on could be our last game as a team. I hope everyone will leave no regrets and show their best."

"Even if the final result is only a silver medal, I want everyone to look back on their careers and think of this Asian Games journey without any regrets, but rather that they have done their best and can accept this defeat with equanimity."

"Wanghu and Shiheng will be in charge of the command this time. Sanghyeok, you just focus on the controls! Concentrate all your energy on the controls!"
