LOL: I just turned 18, let me fight back and be reborn

Chapter 341 Difficult Integration! "Four Schools of Thought" and "Two Sets of Fighting Methods"?
"Yay!" Emperor Chi threw down his keyboard, his face flushed, and his tone was clearly unfriendly.

"Can you please stop running around aimlessly after gaining an advantage in lane? What's the point of us gaining an advantage in lane if you do that?"

Beryl casually shrugged and replied, "Isn't the purpose of gaining an advantage in lane to escape? Otherwise, what's the point of gaining an advantage? Are you going to tower dive and kill the opponent?"

"If you insist on saying that, then I can't communicate with you!" Emperor Ruler was speechless for a moment after being rebuked.

During his year with V5, Beryl has completely mastered the playstyle he developed with DRX last year—especially since he has a laning advantage in 99.99% of mid-lane games, and he has completely adopted "Roaming synergy" as a universal solution.

But he didn't seem to realize that the team's mid laner's playstyle and approach were completely different from his "real teammates."

This explains why Ruler is completely unable to empathize with the other person!

Ruler's two former mid-lane teammates, Chovy and Knight, were both positions where they rarely "voluntarily took on" the responsibility of team coordination.
So Ruler has never truly understood Beryl's feelings!

However, when it comes to logical thinking, he is no match for his opponent. He wants to refute but can't say anything, so he can only spin around in his chair and sulk.

the other side.

While the atmosphere in Ueno is not as tense, it still faces many problems.

Zeus said to the jungler in a low voice, "Jinhe, next time you invade the jungle, could you check on my top lane first?"

"Actually, I had several opportunities to gank in lane, but going to invade the enemy jungle actually saved their top laner."

Kanavi's tone was surprisingly calm, despite the use of honorifics rarely heard in the LPL.

Unfortunately, the answer was uncompromising: "Of course not!"

"Counter-jungling is all about timing. If you're 5 or 10 seconds behind, the enemy jungle will have already been cleared. If I go in for nothing, I'll lose a lot of tempo and might even get counter-jungled by the enemy."

"You help me gain the advantage first, and then I'll naturally come to help you. Wouldn't you be more comfortable if I gained the advantage?"

During his year with JDG, Kanavi has become accustomed to top laner 369 being ready to sacrifice himself and play around him, which is also the cornerstone of his {warrior jungle carry} playstyle.

He finds it hard to change, and he doesn't want to change.

Upon hearing this, Zeus didn't say anything more, but simply lowered his head and started picking at his hands, clearly indicating that this fighting style was also making him uncomfortable.

In the first experiment, only the mid-laner Chovy remained silent, as if he had been possessed by another "other self" in the world, quietly disappearing.

"It's okay. It's normal for everyone to be unfamiliar with each other since it's the first time playing together."

Koma stood up and clapped his hands, breaking the silence: "Try someone else, Kim Hyuk-kyu, you do it."

Several KR coaches thought it was just a matter of Ruler and Beryl getting used to each other, and wanted to let Deft, who had excellent chemistry, try it out.

But the facts have once again proven that it wasn't just the bottom lane that caused the problem.

"We could switch lanes now, let's do it!"

"No, no, no! Top laner, you go find this jungler for me first! He's definitely in the top half of the map!"

"Hey, this intersection's eye is broken! We can rush the dragon!"

"I just finished using the punishment, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"But I've already TP'd."

"You're not going to fight? Then I'll just gank bot lane to farm; I'm a little short on gold."

Even with the change of AD, it only calmed the "internal conflict" in the bot lane, but the whole team was still obviously in complete chaos!
Most importantly: the chaos isn't just among the players.

The coaching staff is in even more disarray!
Koma is no longer in charge of the draft phase. Even within T1, the five players usually draft themselves. He is only used as a "mascot" because of his seniority, which seems similar to Lee Sang-hyeok's role in the team.

The other four well-known coaches in KR's coaching staff are like the four directions of "east, west, south, and north"!
They can't stand each other!
Danny highly values ​​Zeus's laning dominance and suggested that Kanavi avoid using a jungle carry playstyle and instead focus more on the top lane—this is consistent with his approach within his WBG team.

Redmi, needless to say, naturally trusts Kanavi and Ruler, two of JDG's favorite players, and advocates for focusing on jungle carry and AD carry as the main force, based on the understanding of the previous MSI version.

Score made a similar decision. As GEN's head coach, he clearly trusted his mid laner Chovy. The only difference was that he also trusted his veteran Ruler, which was somewhat similar to Redmi's approach.

Coach Kim Jung-soo, who joined Hanwha this year, often heard his mid and top laners recount DRX's glorious achievements last year, and therefore had a high level of trust in this veteran DRX bot lane duo.
This completely threw everything into chaos!
All four of them have their own ideas, and each of them is a champion coach with a reputation and status.

Even the Redmi phone has the lowest "honors" among them!
There was no other way but to use the tedious method of experimenting with different systems one by one to see which one suited them best.

What followed was a constant stream of arguments.

"Aigoo, I told you the enemy top laner can't beat Zeus, so it's easy for us to break through from the top lane!"

"Didn't we try it at MSI? It turns out it's not that easy to break through. We should try different strategies than those used in MSI to have a chance of winning."

"How can these be the same?! The lineups and players are completely different!"

"First of all, the mid lane is the same. If we listen to you and go for the top lane, what will happen to the mid lane? Don't you know who the core player of that team is?!"

"So targeting the mid lane will work? We've already tried it! That enemy mid laner is a monster! Targeting him is pointless! You can only delay his power spike as much as possible!"

Although the coaching staff had deliberately moved outside, the sounds of their argument still inevitably drifted in slightly.

Chovy overheard some things about herself and felt a little depressed.

But no way.

He himself knew that although his words were harsh, they were all true!
He was indeed a defeated opponent, even one who had been repeatedly captured, so even if he really wanted to say something harsh, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Fortunately, at that moment, a pair of hands patted my shoulder from behind.

Chovy turned and exchanged a glance with Lee Sang-hyeok, who then spoke up.

"Let me say a few words."

As soon as the sound came out, the originally noisy training room quickly quieted down.

Although the other six players were not entirely convinced of each other's abilities, each LCK player held this person in high regard.

“In 2018, five years ago, I had already experienced a failure.” Lee Sang-hyeok’s voice was devoid of emotion.

"I hope you all remember that this time, neither our region, our country, nor ourselves can afford to fail again."

"Beryl, why don't you say a few words first?"

Lee Sang-hyeok only served to keep things under control and did not say anything himself.

Instead, the power of speech was given to Beryl, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Lee Sang-hyeok was also somewhat confused about the team's current situation—but he firmly believed that V5's methods were worth learning from and referencing.

Beryl, who was getting a little dizzy from the argument, heard this and simply moved his chair to the center.

He turned around and looked back at everyone.

He has always been a straightforward person; he would simply think of a few words in his mind and then speak out what he thought.

"Then let's just say it directly."

"Beast, we must first confirm one thing, which is to choose a commander—the only virtuous commander!"

He emphasized the last few words to ensure correct pronunciation.

"If someone decides to take command, I guarantee I won't voice any objections within the game and will completely follow their instructions. I also hope that no one will question any of the commander's orders, even if they are wrong!"

"At the very least, there can't be a second voice in the team!"

Beryl's tone seemed to change slightly as she spoke.

Emotions also seem to fluctuate.

"There's a really scary guy on the other side! Probably the scariest player!"

"But since we've joined this, and since we're going to fight them, I don't want to lose!"

"."

"Hey, you guys, say something! Why aren't you saying anything?"

Beryl's rapid-fire delivery left everyone stunned, with Kanavi and Ruler giving him particularly strange looks. Only Zeus timidly raised his hand and asked, "Um, bro, can you speak Korean?"

“If you forgot, I’ll say it again.”

Kanavi and Ruler breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the previous speech was specifically for them, and that they were going to be subjected to a "criticism session"!
Beryl paused a bit when switching language input methods, as if she was a little rusty, and then repeated what she had just said in her native language.

Just then, the coaching staff returned after finishing their argument.

In retelling the story, Beryl added many details.

"I didn't make myself clear just now. Commanding is one thing, but being the core of the team is another."

"Based on the characteristics of our current lineup, I think we can try and consider forming multiple different combinations and playstyles, each with a different core."

"To be honest, I think our biggest advantage this time is the change of 6+1—7 people on the roster. This lineup has so many more possibilities!"

Beryl did not intend to become the "sole conductor".

Because he had just suddenly figured it out.

After all, there was only one month of intensive training.

He was unsure if he could handle the players who hadn't had much time to gel with the team and whose top, mid, and jungle lanes all had completely different player styles from V5.

Forcing yourself to play according to your own ideas may backfire!
The best way to "quickly" improve is for everyone to play to their strengths and take turns being the sole leader—and then adapt their style to the lineup available for each game!

After all, the same playing style can have completely different effects depending on the personnel configuration!

Take JDG's "Jungle Invasion" strategy as an example. In the top lane alone, 369's sacrifice has one effect, while Zeus's lane dominance has another.
Besides.

Beryl has clearly discovered a novel angle as well.

Since this is the first time an esports event has been officially held, there are no precedents to follow, and the rules are relatively flexible.

The initial 5+1 slots were changed to a final 6+1 slots.

Ultimately, the rules clearly divided the pie, squeezing out an extra "substitute spot".

For CN teams, Meiko's role is not much different from Liu Qingsong's; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is practically a true substitute.

But for the KR team...

Originally, they called for Deft to return purely to annoy the LPL, and to secure a reliable bot lane duo. If all else failed, they could make the out-of-form Faker the "honorary captain."

However, right now, whether it's the rotation between Faker and Chovy, or the rotation between Deft and Ruler, it could create a completely different playstyle for the KR team!

This seemingly harmless act of "dividing the cake" ultimately appears to have become a hidden danger.

"What do you think? Who's in favor and who's against?"

Beryl, caught up in the moment, gave Tony Leung a table-slamming stare.

“I support what Beryl said,” Lee Sang-hyeok was the first to raise his hand to vote: “This sounds like the best way.”

“I support it too.” Deft immediately echoed his support for his partner.

With the approval of these two eldest brothers, who are the most senior in terms of seniority, the rest of the people had virtually no chance of refusing.

Besides, it does sound like the best solution.

Several coaches also thought this method was good.

Kouma then took the opportunity to state the outcome of the argument outside the door: "From the perspective of the four coaches, let's prepare and train lineups based on four different playing styles."

"Anyway, we're playing the old version, so understanding the version doesn't take much time. The main thing is for everyone to practice in scrims to build synergy and maintain their form over the next month!"

Beryl interrupted again, raising his hand: "Coach, the scrims aren't going very well. I suggest we reduce the frequency of scrims and focus more on duo and solo queue."

“A friend of mine once said that playing ranked matches is actually the best way to train your form. However, you must do a good job of reviewing each ranked match afterward and properly handle both the bad and valuable data.”

"This will require a lot of hard work from the coaching staff."

The current situation is quite unique.

The Asian Games uses an ancient version of the Spring Season, which can only be played on special competition servers. For those who don't participate in the Asian Games, practicing with it is completely meaningless.

Especially those teams preparing for the World Championship!

The Asian Games will be followed immediately by the even more important World Championship (S-series). Obviously, no team that makes it to the S-series would let its players help out; doing this as a "sparring partner" would be a completely negative outcome.

This means that both the KR and CN teams can only play practice matches against teams ranked relatively low.

Given the strength of both teams, the quality of the training match was naturally not high!
In particular, the playing style of "weaker teams" is very fixed. If you play against the same team too many times, it may lead to rigid thinking and affect your judgment.
At least in terms of maintaining a good position, it's not as good as the unpredictable high-ranking matches!

Although Beryl did not say it explicitly.

But everyone seemed to know who this "friend who loves playing ranked games" he was talking about was.

Clearly, this friend is very persuasive.

After all, that person was indeed known for his diligence in ranking up, and there was even a long-standing urban legend in South Korea that said, "He trains even in his dreams!"
Koma nodded in agreement: "Then, from now on, we'll play practice matches in the afternoon and practice solo queue in the evening."

"Our coaching staff will compile the data in the early morning and give it to you before the game starts the next afternoon. You can review the data at noon."

"Okay! Let's play a couple of solo queue games to rest today, since our scrim opponents have already logged off anyway."

In the training room of the KR team, the tense atmosphere was restored to a harmonious one in a short period of time.

But what they don't know is.

downstairs.

At the same time, almost the same thing was happening!
"Let's start with these two strategies, and then experiment with them gradually. There's no rush."

"Then daily training is what we just talked about: scrims in the afternoon and ranked games in the evening. The quality of ranked games is usually higher in the evening."

If an observer were to watch both locations, it would be discovered.

The directions taken by Ye Bo and Beryl on both sides, and even their training plans, were almost identical!
It's no wonder they came from the same team.

Of course, this is actually the result of the two influencing each other over the past year.

However, it is clear that the former has a greater impact on the latter.
"Xun, please click this for me!"

Hearing the sound of the queue being formed behind him, Ye Bo was still making corrections on the small blackboard.

"Wait a minute, Master Ye, it looks like I've gotten in too!"

"I got in too!"

"Huh? We're not going to be in the same line, are we?! Dot dot dot!"

There aren't many people in high-ranking matches, so it's normal for them to be matched together. This is actually why Ye Bo specifically chose to train solo in the evening.

On the one hand, they can also occasionally help out the "five-person team" or "internal positioning" to fill in the gaps.

on the other hand.

The Chinese and South Korean teams are unable to play training matches for various reasons.

However, Ye Bo guessed that the other side would most likely also choose to schedule their solo training sessions for the evening.
And isn't this also a kind of "alternative training match"?
"Hide on bush is mine!" Holy Gunner shouted as he turned around. "Isn't that Genshin Impact's ID?"

Gala immediately replied after seeing it clearly, "Gunner, I'm on your side too!"

Only Xun looked distressed after seeing this: "Oh no, we've crashed the truck! None of us got to see Master Ye. Who's Master Ye over there?"

Ye Bo walked back and looked at the chat box.

The first things that catch the eye are the [T1-Zeus] and [JDG-Kanavi].
