I'm the chef in T1. The fatter Li Ge is, the stronger I am.

Chapter 158 Post-match interview! Without his help, I would not have been able to perform an effective gank!

soon.

The second game begins.

The player lists of both sides have not been changed and remain the original lineup, but the ending remains unchanged.

2: 0!
3: 0!
Although the Snake team showed great resilience in these three games, there was a visible gap in the strength and tacit cooperation of the players on both sides.

on the stage.

Successfully advanced to the summer season finals.

Everyone first shook hands with the Snake team members, then bowed towards the audience with smiles on their faces, then returned to the competition area to pack up their peripherals, and by the way, selected one person to go for an official interview.

"Puff, go ahead!"

I heard that Wang Yu was going to arrange for me to be interviewed.

Imp really wanted to continue playing badly: "Why me? The audience would rather see you being interviewed!"

This is different from other teams that just rely on winning the game and using interviews to leave a deep impression on the audience about their players.

TOP1 here.

No one likes to be interviewed.

first.

They start live streaming every day after training matches and replays. Over time, the popularity of the live streaming is quite high every day and the fan base is also very active.

Secondly.

For them, instead of accepting official interviews, it is better to go home and broadcast live to answer the audience's questions, so that they can also increase the length of the live broadcast.

"Then Haocheng go, you haven't been here for a long time either."

Wang Yu hadn't finished his sentence yet.

Duke immediately stuffed the peripherals he had just packed into Xiye's hands, then covered his stomach with a look of pain on his face: "Ouch, Brother Yu, my stomach suddenly hurts. It may be because I didn't cover myself with the quilt well last night. I have to go to the bathroom first~"

Before leaving the competition area, he raised an eyebrow at Imp.

The clever Imp understood immediately: "I'm craving for a cigarette, Haocheng is too lonely taking a shit, I'm going to chat with him for a while!"

Ming was still thinking about what excuse he should use, but was stopped by Wang Yu.

"Come on, let's go and accept the interview. They are not trustworthy at all. I will cook for you when we return to the club later."

"Then I want to eat cola chicken wings."

"no problem!"

Official interview area.

Yu Shuang was looking down and playing with her fingers, adjusting her clothes from time to time.

If she learned during the spring season that Emolove had created a team and joined the LPL league, she would be very happy.

But now.

Everyone knows that interviewing the TOP1 team is a waste of time and requires a long wait.

The reason is also very simple.

No one in the entire team took this interview session, which was considered as a reward for the players, seriously!
Wang Yu, Duke, and Imp need not be mentioned.

All three are world champions and have given countless interviews.

Xiye has played in the LPL league for such a long time that he is a complete veteran and has long lost the passion he had when he was first interviewed.

The only newcomer Ming was frequently "tortured" by the official because of the short half-season, and he also had a resistance to the interview session.

"Emo brother! Are you here for the interview today?"

"Just call me Xiaoyu. Brother Chen, you are ten years older than me!"

I heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice in front of me.

Yu Shuang immediately looked up, with a hint of surprise on her face: "Huh? You're here so soon!"

She didn't expect it.

Normally, you have to wait at least a few minutes before you can welcome the TOP1 contestant who looks reluctant.

Today, not only did I get what I was waiting for immediately, but I got two of them!

"Are you not ready for the interview yet? Do you want us to come back later?"

Wang Yu misunderstood Yu Shuang's meaning and was about to take Xiao Ming to sit next to her.

The cameraman on the other side couldn't bear to watch and couldn't help but interrupt: "Emo brother is ready to start the interview at any time."

“Am I not an interviewer?”

Yu Shuang complained while handing the cards in her hand to Wang Yu and Xiao Ming.

soon.

Wang Yu and Xiao Ming had a brief discussion and then handed the card back to Yu Shuang.

Not long after.

The camera directly opposite started working.

New images also appeared in the live broadcast room.

【Three! Anyone want it? 】

【? ? ? 】

[Fuck, the interview started so soon today? ]

"Hello everyone in front of the screen, thank you for waiting. Welcome to the post-match interview. I am Yu Shuang, the interviewer! Today, we have also invited the boss and players of the TOP1 team to be interviewed! Come and say hello to everyone~"

After Yu Shuang finished her opening remarks, she gave the screen to Wang Yu and Xiao Ming.

Wang Yu waved towards the camera very skillfully.

Xiao Ming looked a little nervous. He just nodded and didn't dare to interact.

"Okay, then our first question! The TOP1 team's recent game style has also changed a bit, and in this BO5 game, Emolove, you used Lee Sin three times in a row! This is different from the previous BO3 game where you used two or three different jungle heroes. Why is that? Our audience is quite curious, can Emolove give us an answer?"

As the most honored professional player in China, Wang Yu will certainly attract a lot of attention.

The TOP1 team is currently ranked first in the LPL region.

without any exaggeration.

The TOP1 team is the so-called 'version'.

So.

The coaching analysis teams of many LPL teams choose to use the game records of the TOP1 team as samples to analyze how to adapt as quickly as possible after each version change.

Take EDG for example, their understanding is closest to the TOP1 team, and their overall strength is not weak either, so they were able to defeat the TOP8 team in the quarterfinals.

"Hmm," Wang Yu took the microphone and shared his understanding and thoughts after thinking for a moment: "First of all, the game style of our TOP1 team has indeed changed a bit, because in my opinion, no matter how strong the players are, they must follow the version. Occasionally, they may be able to use some anti-version heroes to unexpectedly defeat the opponent in the game, but if they want to make it to the end and reach the final stage, they still have to follow the version."

"Take the current version for example. Most teams focus on the bottom lane, and we are no exception. So Imp has been changing his playing style recently. Otherwise, he wouldn't have won the MVP in the third game, right?"

"Then there is the second question. The reason why I picked three Lee Sin games in a row in this BO5 is also very simple. In fact, we can go to the World Championship after qualifying for the playoffs. I think there is no need to expose some of the tactics prepared for the World Championship in advance at this time."

This statement may be crazy.

But in fact.

No one would question it.

Because grades represent everything.

not to mention.

Not to mention the LPL teams, even the top-ranked teams in the LCK region are consciously learning and imitating the playing style of the TOP1 teams.

“Yes! Thank you Emoove for answering our questions. Now, the second question I want to ask is for Ming!”

"With the recent version changes, the mainstream choice of the support position has also changed from hard support to soft support. Does this change bother you?"

Yu Shuang smiled.

But to Ming, this undoubtedly looked like a 'devil's smile'.

"Well, it's okay. Actually, I can play both hard and soft support. It mainly depends on how the coach and Brother Yu arrange it. I will use whichever support they choose for this game."

Ming said a lot of things without knowing what he was talking about, but he didn't actually reveal any tactics.

There are also priority differences between soft supports.

Not getting the answers they wanted, the coaches who watched the post-match interview sighed and then cheered up.

because.

Here comes the third question!
"This is the last question, and it's also what many viewers want to know. In the current version, the game pace is slow, and a game can often last 40 minutes, 50 minutes, or even an hour. However, the average game time of the TOP1 team is always kept within 30 minutes."

“So many spectators and players want to know what to do to end the battle as quickly as the TOP1 team.”

Yu Shuang said this.

There are obviously more comments in the live broadcast room.

[Indeed, I don’t want to play ranked games recently. My ADC and the opponent’s ADC are constantly farming each other. No one will join the team unless they have six pieces of equipment. It’s so disgusting! ]

[Ranked matches are boring to play, and matches are boring to watch (except for matches of the TOP1 team!)]

[I recommend a simple method to those who have been suffering from insomnia recently: go watch the LCK games, and you will definitely fall asleep in less than ten minutes. ]

Compared to the LPL region where strength levels are uneven.

Even if there is a huge gap in the strength of the players of the two teams in the LCK region, the situation of the game will not change at all. They will still develop and operate until the late stage of about 30 minutes, and use team battles to end the game.

This style of play is a very stable approach for team players.

Can.
The audience didn't think so.

Even many Korean players came to the LPL region to watch the game, because even they couldn't stand the slow-paced game style of their own region.

And the reason why is this.

The reason is also very simple.

Because Wang Yu joined the LCK region last year, all Korean players realized that the game does not need to be ended by operations, but can be ended through early fights and exciting team battles!
Wang Yu was stunned when he heard this question, and answered after a while.

"I think you may have misunderstood. We never had any idea of ​​ending the game quickly. If anyone has seen the games where we were at a disadvantage in the early stages, they would also find that our pace was a bit slow in the early stages. The reason why we were able to end the game within 30 minutes was actually because each of us did what we were supposed to do."

"Take Xiao Ming for example. Recently, many people on the Internet have said that joining TOP1 has used up all his luck in his life. But in my opinion, it is his joining that has made our team a success."

"Because when Xiao Ming was assisting Imp in the bottom lane, he would pay attention to the mini-map from time to time and help us record the enemy's flash and TP time, so that we could use the time difference to gain an advantage."

"Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to perform an effective gank."

"I am also very fortunate to have found an outstanding support player like Xiao Ming as a teammate."

Speaking of it.

Wang Yu also patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder.

The ability of newcomers is always questioned by players.

This has happened in LPL, LCK, and LCS.

It is very common for many newcomers who have just joined the top league to perform poorly or even become the breakthrough point of the team.

Although Xiao Ming is in the game
Wang Yu's words completely helped Xiao Ming prove that he was qualified to join the TOP1 team.

"Brother Yu."

Xiao Ming was deeply moved and turned his head to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He always thought that the reason he joined the TOP1 team was purely because the domestic support players were basically the core of the team.

Take the LGD team for example, which went from a mid-level team to a bottom-level team after Imp left this year.

'Death' pyl's average number of deaths per game not only ranks first among the support position, but also ranks first among all positions!

But even so.

The summer season ended early and it was confirmed that they would miss the playoffs.

LGD team still chooses to renew the contract with pyl!

why?
Because every support that is trained with great effort is hard-earned, even if his operation becomes worse, the experience gained from so many games will not disappear.

As long as he is there, he can help train the next support, and there is no need to worry about a lack of support available!

Xiao Ming initially thought he was a 'substitute'.

A team that has a three-time champion player and a core player in the team would actually choose me, a newcomer who has never set foot in the LPL league?
This kind of plot is something that these secondary league players would never dream of at night.

But rather.

I encountered it myself!
Even if we win the MSI championship with the team, even if we make it to the playoffs now.

Xiao Ming also always felt that he was just a substitute, not a genuine assistant.

But what Wang Yu just said was not only an answer to the question, but also a recognition of his own strength.

"Okay, thank you Emolove and Ming for accepting the post-match interview, and congratulations again to TOP1 for advancing to the summer finals!"

Put away the microphone.

Yu Shuang looked at Wang Yu and was about to have a private chat with this world champion rising star as a friend.

But did not expect
After seeing the interview.

Wang Yu simply said goodbye to Yu Shuang and the cameraman, then left with Xiao Ming.

The summer season is coming to an end.

The LPL finals is between EDG and TOP1.

The LCK finals was between ROX and SKT.

Due to the number of teams.

The LCK region's summer finals will be held three days earlier than the LPL region's summer finals.

this day.

Coach kkoma did not arrange a training match for the players. Instead, he took them to sit in the living room and watched the entire LCK finals like a movie using screen projection.

If SKT fell into a deep sleep in the Spring Season, then SKT in the Summer Season was like a hibernating bear being woken up.

irritable!

Both the lineup and the playing style are very aggressive.

And this style of play.

Maybe the audience can't see the clues.

But kkoma, Wang Yu and Duke, who once played in the SKT team, understand very well that this is how they won the game last year.

Wang Yu’s departure took Faker half a season to adapt, but he still couldn’t adapt. He even began to lose the dominating performance in the mid lane that he had in previous years.

Blank, who finally became the starter, began to exert his strength. He completely integrated the playing styles of Wang Yu and Bengi into his own, sometimes ganking crazily and sometimes staying in the middle lane.

Game 1.

SKT ended the game with a huge economic gap in just 34 minutes.

Game 2.

ROX fought back and also snowballed their economy in the early stages, and the game lasted only 29 minutes.

I thought SKT, who came to the blue side again, would be able to make a comeback.

Unexpectedly.

ROX was the first to open up the Ren and Du meridians, winning two games in a row and setting the score at 3:1!

Watched the LCK Summer Finals.

Wang Yu was the first to express his thoughts: "I feel that the mid lane is also very important. Although the focus is on the bottom lane at present, the bottom lane can't do anything in the early stage."

"Yes, but Xiaoyu, you misunderstood a little bit." Kkoma said with a smile: "Don't you find that there is a serious problem with this version?"

"What's the problem?" Everyone was suddenly curious.

"These ADCs that were able to reap the benefits of the version were too weak in the early stages and had no combat effectiveness at all."

kkoma seemed to be prepared and pulled the tactical board not far away over and turned it over.

There are many hero names written on the tactical board, and there are also several circles.

"Next, we need to practice these lineups."
