I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 180-Single-handedly saves the lord, the water dispenser god!

Buhao, I've been tricked by the devils!

Faker's heart skipped a beat, and he was shocked instead of happy.

The best way to deal with Time Guardian Kiran is to force him to use his ultimate move on you.

This is a supporting hero, and even if he is resurrected, it won’t make much sense.

It goes without saying which one has a greater role, Zilean with two lives or Sivir with two lives.

Zilean died and entered the resurrection time. No one from Flash Wolves stayed to guard the body. Instead, they all started to climb higher as agreed.

The troll uses his ultimate skill on Olaf to reduce his resistance.

Lucian, the fattest player on the Flash Wolves side, cooperated with Tsar's output, and the two of them burst out with a set of combos, which instantly killed the previously invincible Olaf.

The hero Olaf has begun to go downhill.

When Faker was resurrected, three SKT members on the battlefield had been killed, leaving only Sivir, who was protected by others and escaped all the way back to the high ground.

The Flash Wolves only lost one Minotaur who was guarding the tower.

The highland tower was shattered.

The desperate battle situation made Faker grit his teeth.

"Hold on, I'm going back to the city!
The high ground was blocked by the opponent, and Old Man Time couldn't get through, so he could only run to the wild area to return to the city.

After returning to the city, Sivir and I will go all out to clear the minion line, and Flash Wolves will have no chance of a single wave!
However, Karsa was unwilling to let him return to the city.

The troll uses W to speed up and follows Zilean. His E skill is at full cooldown, with only seven seconds left. He uses E skill from a distance to interrupt the return to the city + slow down, thus holding back Faker's steps.

"Let me go back, let me go back..." He accelerated to a deserted place and pressed the return button, but was interrupted by the troll's pillar. Faker's palms were full of sweat due to his anxiety. He turned around and wanted to kill the troll with low health, and four consecutive bombs hit the troll.

Just as the countdown for the last bomb was about to end and the troll would be killed, the game screen suddenly froze...

Immediately, the view kept moving upwards and arrived at SKT's crystal main castle, allowing Faker to enjoy a fireworks display.

The moment the game ended, major gaming platforms and apps forwarded the battle report.

In a surprising turn of events, SKT's system proved powerful, controlling the tempo for a time.

Flash Wolves' online team battles were in full swing, and Lucian took three pieces in the dragon pit, reversing the situation.

In the last wave of team fight on the high ground, Yuanshen's Vampire started the fight perfectly, singled out Faker, and forced out the time ultimate. The Flash Wolves were as fierce as a tiger and won the team fight.

Congratulations to Flash Wolves for taking the first match point and leading 2-0.

"The four seas are roiling with raging clouds and water, the five continents are shaking with thunder and lightning! You're targeting my top laner, but I still have support and mid laner. If you shift your focus elsewhere, our top laner will definitely make a move! There's always someone who steps up to deliver the blow!"

Wang Duoduo shouted loudly. His style of shouting might be a little awkward at first, but once you accept the setting, you will find it very novel. At least it is better than some commentary styles that are so boring that they make people want to sleep.

"Yes, in this game, Blank wanted to target the top lane too much. As a result, the Flash Wolves' bottom lane had no pressure and played very well," Miller said.

"But, let's be honest, any other top laner would likely collapse under this level of targeting. They'd probably get caught and killed three or four times, and the top and jungle would be completely destroyed..."

Wawa nodded in agreement. "Especially that solo kill in the mid-game, which slowed down Olaf's rhythm. Otherwise, Karsa would have had no place to develop. It can be said that Yuan Shen withstood 70% of the opponent's pressure and created space for his teammates to perform..."

Flash Wolves is at its peak, and Yuanshen's popularity ranks first in CPL traffic.

When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. After all, Yuan Shen is not a soft girl, so it is impossible for everyone to like him.

With the S5 patch over and Karsa no longer mindlessly helping top, Flash Wolves remain incredibly strong, and Yuanshen's performance remains impressive. Consequently, those who used to criticize the jungler for staying top have changed their narrative. Now, they say Yuanshen's strength stems from Flash Wolves constantly giving him counter positions.

As soon as Flash Wolves reached the red side, they gave Yuanshen the final choice of hero.

Who can't beat him with a Counter hero? Is this considered the best top laner in the world?
However, in fact, they did not notice, or deliberately ignored one thing... Yuan Shen also made great sacrifices in BP.

Because Flash Wolves almost never helped Yuan Shen ban the strong top laners in this version, but only banned strong heroes in other positions.

In other words, the opponent's top laner can get 0P in almost all versions.

On the contrary, the opponent must also ban some of Yuanshen's strong heroes and strange heroes.

This results in Flash Wolves being able to get the heroes they want in other positions, thus developing various systems and routines.

What's more, all teams can choose the red side, but they can't achieve the same effect as Flash Wolves.

For some people, it is really too difficult to admit that others are stronger.

As a player, Yuanshen is not only unique in his laning abilities, but also in his tactical value...

For any team, Yuanshen is like the elixir of life to ancient emperors.

"Turtle, even if you jump around in the top, mid, and jungle in the early game, you can still win?"

"I'm leading SKT 2-0. Am I really not dreaming?"

"With three match points in hand, and the next game still on red, is it really going to be 3-0?"

Netizens were talking about it, even though this was just a semi-final, many people wanted to book the championship.

At last year's World Championship, they failed to achieve their goal of defeating SKT 3-0. Could this be the case at this year's MSI?
CPL fans are excited but also dreading it.

I was afraid that the opponent would suddenly win the game, and I was afraid of the one in a thousand chance of coming back from 2-0 down to 3-0 down…

It was so close to 3-0, and the next game was sure to be won by the red team. Even if the final result was 3-1, people would still feel dissatisfied, as if something was missing.

The second game allowed the audience to see a different Flash Wolves.

In the past, when facing strong teams, it was almost always Yuanshen who led the team's rhythm, and all the glory was concentrated on the Flash Wolves.

From a bright point of view, in this game, it was the bottom lane combination that performed quite well.

Imp's Lucian did not become a laborer like EZ in the previous game.

Not only that, in the post-match data, his evaluation was the highest and he won the MVP of the game.

"Very good, very good, take a rest."

After the Flash Wolves players returned to the lounge, Char Siu patted the members' shoulders with satisfaction, feeling like he had seen his children finally grow up.

Professional teams have a set of evaluation systems for professional players.

Just like the cultivation of immortals is divided into Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir and Nascent Soul, professional players are also divided.

The first level of a professional player is - a slacker.

Yes, the vast majority of professional players are at this stage, and all they can do on the court is just "muddling through".

Being able to "blend in" is very important. The first step for all professional players when they step onto the field is to adapt to the rhythm of professional games and learn how to "blend in".

Most of the new players who have just entered the professional arena can't even mix well, and they do all kinds of eye-catching and boring operations... So in fact, there is another level below the mixed players, called "orphans".

However, since the orphan will be eliminated soon and cannot be considered a professional player, we will not discuss it.

As for Yuanshen, who reached the peak as soon as he debuted, he is an exception.

The second level is the CPL first-line.

The core carries of major teams are almost all at this level.

The third level is world-class.

In reality, there's no significant difference in individual skill between world-class players and top-tier CPL players. Even in local leagues, the odds are even, with some wins and losses unsurprising. The only difference lies in their ability to adapt to the pace of the World Championship and their competitive mindset.

At the World Championship, each region has a different style, playing style, and tactics. Without sufficient adaptability, you will definitely be beaten badly.

Not to mention the mentality of a big competition, the children's parade is always the best example, a coward can never win honors...

Anyone who has not proven their carry ability in the World Championship can only be considered a top player in the local league, and is far from being world-class.

All world-class players, as long as their form does not decline, are talents that all major teams desire.

Before S5, Karsa was only considered a first-tier player in the league. It was not until last year that his mentality changed and he became a rare world-class player.

The same goes for snakes.

After going through an entire group stage, Imp and Wei Shen finally completed their transformations when facing SKT, washing away the shame of last year's World Championship.

As for the fourth level...that is the world's top players.

The most significant sign of this level is that you have demonstrated operations in the World Championship that have been remembered by audiences around the world.

That's all the conditions.

But in the past, there was only one Uzi in the entire CPL...

And now, there is one more Yuanshen.

Orphan (crossed out), mixed, league first line, world-class, world-class players -
Since e-sports is very dependent on performance, this kind of evaluation is almost always time-sensitive.

Maybe you were world-class some time ago, but after a while you become a slacker or even an orphan who is good at eating.

Wei Shen fought against Faker several times and did not lose, and Imp proved himself in this adversity.

These two double Cs have completed their respective growth and transformation in this World Championship.

This team is extremely luxurious in terms of personnel configuration and can be said to be the strongest in CPL today.

As the coach of this team, how could Char Siu not be happy and excited?
"Next game, we're on red side." Char Siu shrugged. "Right now, I'm actually a little confident we'll win on red side. I'm not panicking at all. I'm even too lazy to plan a strategy. Even if our opponent is SKT, I think you can win regardless of how you play..."

"Don't set a flag!" Snake teased.

"Coach, you are getting cocky." Wei Shen said.

"That……"

Imp raised his hand. “Can I play Yasuo?”

Yuan Shen pressed Imp's hand and gave him a gentle and amiable smile: "What do you think?"

Karsa smiled but didn't say anything. He was very familiar with Char Siu and knew that he was trying to adjust the mentality of the team members.

As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step.

It is often the last step, the finishing touch that is the most difficult, the easiest to make people slack off, and the most anxious about gains and losses.

All the comebacks from 2-0 down to 3-0 originated from here.

"In the next game, I think the opponent will replace Bengi." Yuan Shen suddenly said

"It's normal to make substitutions in a crucial game to adjust your mentality. Even though Bengi hasn't been in good form recently, he has to play, otherwise the team atmosphere will be too bad."

Karsa answered this way, and others agreed with this view, but Yuan Shen shook his head.

"No, it's not that simple."

Yuan Shen's eyes flickered.

During the S6 period, SKT had three preparations.

The first lineup prepared was the conventional mid-jungle tactics, 4+1 point lane.

If they can't win with conventional tactics, they will use their trump card, four protecting one, which is their second move.

And if they can't beat the opponent with four protecting one, they will replace him with Bengi.

Historically, SKT in S6 was not as invincible as many people had rumored.

They won many games in life-or-death situations.

Bengi was called upon to take charge of the team in times of crisis, single-handedly saving the team and turning the tables on Huya and Samsung in life-and-death games, becoming the hero who saved the team. Even the ticket to the S6 World Championship was secured by Bengi's appearance, who led the team to a comeback from - down to -.

After the S6 World Championship, he was dubbed the Water Dispenser God by netizens.

The success of saving the savior alone once or twice can be said to be accidental.

But there is no such thing as a third time. Once it happens more than three times, it is obvious that Bengi does have something, and SKT is not keeping him on the water dispenser for no reason.

"Bengi is SKT's last secret weapon."

"We just received a message from the backstage that SKT will rotate Bengi in the next game."

On the commentary booth, Wawa analyzed: "SKT's substitution in the crucial game is probably to adjust the team's atmosphere. My brother Ji is very experienced and has played many crucial games. This kind of veteran can play a role in stabilizing the team's morale at critical moments."

Miller touched his chin thoughtfully. "Bengi also played once in the previous group stage, in the tiebreaker against G2. SKT had a very good rhythm that game, and G2 was completely led by the nose. I think Flash Wolves can't underestimate Bengi..."

"Huh? That's an exaggeration, bro." Wawa raised an eyebrow, disapprovingly saying, "If you're saying that, then if Bengi is so strong, why isn't he starting? Hiding stronger players offstage and then releasing them in a crucial match isn't asking for trouble."

Hearing this, Miller couldn't help but smile bitterly. His partner had been commentating for so many years, but how come his understanding of the game hadn't improved at all? He just kept on talking all day. If he hadn't invited me to Youlan Pavilion several times and had something to hold against me, he would have stopped playing with him long ago..."

cough cough cough.

Miller rolled his eyes at Wawa and said unhappily, "Because Bengi isn't a starter, he's so strong. If he were a starter, it would be meaningless."

"What's the meaning?"

The baby looked confused. Why did he say such mysterious things?
The reason is actually very simple.

Some talented young people always perform very well when they first enter the professional arena, but this period of glory can only last for a week or two. Soon, most geniuses will be lost in the crowd.

why?
Is it because they didn't work hard like Shang Zhongyong?
No, they have been studied thoroughly.

When you become a professional player, the more famous you become, the more teams will be watching your every move. From players to coaches to data analysts, they are all studying your playing style, positioning habits, and hero pool...

Not bad.

If you can't adapt to this kind of research, keep changing, and keep improving yourself, you will soon be eliminated from the professional arena.

Bengi has been on the sidelines for so long, no one knows what secret hero he has practiced, and no one knows what his current playing style is. It is impossible to target him from the perspective of BP or routines. It is completely unknown.

He has been biding his time by the water dispenser, training hard to maintain his form.

Bengi built under such conditions will be strong and become a secret weapon.

Once it is launched, it will be meaningless.

The Flash Wolves players are very adaptable to the rhythm of the game. Their playing style and details change every day. Otherwise, they would have been thoroughly studied by teams around the world long ago. How could they have the dominance they have now?
However, no matter how much the Flash Wolves could change, they would never be able to change some habits in just one day.

Unlike the other SKT players who only had ten minutes during halftime to reflect on their mistakes, Bengi spent the entire first two games listening to the coaching staff's analysis and guidance, adding some of his own thoughts...

These factors combined are the reason why Bengi was able to save the team single-handedly several times.
