We are tired of winning championships, and we still need youth training?

Chapter 87 If you don’t know how to play Jace, don’t try to learn from others!

GRF was unusually dull after returning to the lounge.

No, it’s not so much boring as it is autistic.

In the eyes of the Sword Emperor.

I, Jayce, must have an advantage in the early game. If I don't have an advantage, shouldn't you come to help me? If you don't come to help, then my failure to gain an advantage is at most a minor sin. Why are you, Tarzan, staring at me?
And in Tarzan's eyes.

You can't play Jayce, so you picked Chicken Feather? Is this hero really something you can handle? You're trying to imitate others playing Jayce, but when you can't beat them, you still call for help, and then you're not happy if they don't go. What the hell!
In addition, there are conflicts within the GRF team, so at this moment, no one in the top and jungle looks at each other.

Tarzan was reviewing the game silently, while the Sword King sat on the other side with his head down, playing with his fingers.

After a long silence, Cvmax spoke helplessly:
"...I say, at least we should wait until this Bo5 is over, right?"

He looked at the silent bottom lane team in front of him, the top and jungle who were at odds with each other, and the stunned mid laner Dachao.

I'm really tired.

He thought today's BO5 would be a bit difficult, but he didn't expect that the team would seem to be disbanding after the first game.

Even if I didn't intend to make it clear, I have to speak out now.

If he hadn't stepped up, the result would have undoubtedly been 3-0.

IG is the third one.

"It was difficult to play against them. IG's command was very calm and they were very good at taking advantage of the lineup."

"After gaining an advantage in the early stages, he didn't give us any chances. He kept chasing us relentlessly after we made mistakes, and even after securing victory, he wasn't in a rush."

Lehends spoke first.

Lehends, nicknamed Lotus Seed, has a good temper and is willing to communicate with his teammates.

Seeing that Cvmax had spoken, he immediately followed suit.

But what he analyzed made the atmosphere even more depressing.

……yes.

This IG is much harder to beat than GRF expected.

The IG used to be a reckless team, but after Xu Xinghe came on the court in the summer season, the IG became a reckless team with brains.

As for the current IG, we can only evaluate it by saying that it plans carefully before taking action.

Such an IG, coupled with outstanding individual abilities, puts an exaggerated amount of pressure on people.

Even Lehends couldn't figure out how to win for the time being.

Delay to later stage?
Can it really be delayed?

Play in the early stage?
They are so aggressive in laning and have such a great pace, can we really gain an advantage?

No matter how I think about it, the probability of winning seems very low, so low that it is almost impossible.

"We need to pick heroes that we have higher proficiency in or that are more popular with us."

Viper spoke next.

He offered a new idea:

"Since we can't suppress them individually, let's pick strong or highly skilled heroes first. We'll try our best to ensure our laning strength so we don't get completely overwhelmed in Rift or Dragon fights."

"When the economy is maintained, we can then target areas where IG is more easily targeted."

"For example, Theshy who likes to push the lane, or Rookie whose laning ability has declined."

Dachao raised his eyebrows.

Decreased laning ability...

In the previous game, he was killed by Rookie.

Although he was not very convinced, the record was there.

He is not good at talking about this topic.

"Good idea."

Cvmax nodded in agreement at Viper.

Viper's logic is sound.

Since you may not win even if you are in the laning phase, then make sure you are in the laning phase first.

On this basis, we will compete with IG again.

"But the problem is that many of the laning heroes are early and mid-game heroes. If we pick them up, there's a high probability that we won't have a late-game."

"Everyone saw IG's macro in the last game. Their ability to drag the game into the late game was also excellent."

Tarzan finally spoke. His expression was grave.

"After the early and middle stages, if we can't finish the game..."

He didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew what he meant.

Once the lineup's strong period is over, GRF's win rate will plummet if they cannot finish the game.

"Oh, if that's the case, then why not speed up the tempo a bit?"

The Sword Emperor was extremely upset with Tarzan at this point and immediately fought back.

"It's because we played too slowly in the early stages and too passively. Who do you think is to blame?"

He paused and added.

"Oh yeah, Tarzan, I wasn't talking about you."

Tarzan:…

Damn it, what you did is no different from pointing at my forehead and cursing me, and you still have the nerve to say you're not talking nonsense about me?
"okay!"

Cvmax had a terrible headache and quickly clapped his hands to interrupt the impending quarrel.

"I actually thought that might happen today."

He lied without batting an eyelid.

The team is like this.

Although he never expected the conflict to escalate so quickly, he had to give the players some confidence.

"Next one, Chovy."

"what?"

"You come and play solo."

"I?"

Chovy looked confused and pointed at himself.

Don't teams usually let the top laner play solo push? Although the mid laner sometimes does this, it's really not a lot.

"Ah."

Tarzan's mouth corners lifted slightly, and he let out a meaningful chuckle.

The Sword Emperor immediately became anxious.

"Ashi, what are you laughing at?!"

Tarzan was about to speak when he saw Cvmax shaking his head at him subtly.

He was silent for a second, but chose to remain silent.

Why let Chovy play solo lane?

It’s because Cvmax no longer trusts the Sword Emperor’s ability.

As for solo laning, there has never been a situation where the mid laner is designated to do the solo laning without giving any instructions to the top laner.

This situation only means that Cvmax has already judged that the Sword Emperor's personal ability is insufficient and he does not intend to place too much trust in him.

Tarzan was actually very unhappy.

Because he felt that Cvmax was too gentle towards Sword Emperor.

If he were Cvmax, he would definitely let Sword Emperor play this solo lane.

This is not about respecting him, but about wanting to embarrass him more.

Cvmax's decision actually protected the Sword Emperor.

Tarzan didn't say anything, so the Sword Emperor naturally didn't say much either.

Soon, GRF finished arranging the second strategy and prepared to go on the court.

Tarzan deliberately walked last.

When he was about to leave the lounge, he looked back at Cvmax behind him.

"why?"

Cvmax's expression remains unchanged.

"what why?"

"Why not let Sword play solo? Isn't he confident in himself?"

Tarzan was obviously very dissatisfied with Cvmax's protection of Sword Emperor.

If Tarzan had felt that there was a chance to continue, he would have been more patient with the Sword Emperor.

Now that the first game is over and IG's strength has been confirmed, he feels that GRF will most likely stop today.

So he chose to be more direct.

“…Alas, Chengyong.”

Cvmax sighed,

"Don't be so emotional. Sword is not actually your or my enemy."

"Of course I know, but it's not just that he's a bad player, he always—"

Tarzan is actually not a person with a bad temper.

But he really couldn't give a good evaluation of the Sword Emperor.

"But the game isn't over yet, and you're still teammates, aren't you?"

Cvmax advised him.

"Just think of it as me begging you."

"Chengyong, can we discuss this issue after today's game?" "…………"

Seeing his trusted coach begging him humbly, Tarzan felt very uncomfortable.

He walked out of the lounge in a daze and headed towards the stage.

Even after sitting in his seat, his expression was still grim.

How did we become like this?

He was completely confused.

He used to have a good relationship with the Sword Emperor. They were good brothers who used to go out together late at night to drink secretly.

They were so close at that time, and the cooperation between the top and the jungle was very tacit.

Can……

He placed his hands on the table in a depressed mood, rubbing his hair in a daze.

GRF's voice chat was completely silent.

On the other hand, IG is completely different.

"Not fair, not fair! Rematch, rematch!"

Ah Shui is barking again.

"Dude, Varus shot three people in a teamfight last time, and he was twitching like crazy, and he didn't get MVP?"

"The MVP was actually given to Theshy in the end. I can't accept it!"

The MVP of the last game was Theshy.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the data.

Theshy’s damage is not low, and it’s even more awesome that he defeated Jayce with Angel.

He also did everything he should do in a team battle.

I can say that I have a clear conscience to win this MVP.

"Indeed, I feel like I should give it to someone who helps."

Baolan pushed up his glasses.

"Every time I start a team fight, it's awesome."

"This doesn't make sense, Brother Lan. You made a play in the bottom lane and almost flashed me, but the opposing Titan hooked me and you E'd behind me. What do you mean? Is this your Rakan?"

Ah Shui sneered.

"Do it yourself and you'll have enough food and clothing. You can't always ask me to block skills for you. A support's life is also a life."

Baolan simply spread out his hands like a little bear.

"Dude laughed. What you said is true. I remember you did something like this during the Spring Split. Dude was slowed down by the Fate Master and was about to take the fourth bullet. You were behind him, and you pressed the Golden Body."

A Shui started to bring up old things.

Baolan's face turned red.

"Well, that was a mistake. I meant to press the shield at 1."

Because the show was so disappointing, Baolan remembers it very clearly.

The voice chatter was noisy and never stopped.

The foreign referees behind were all stunned by what they heard.

Why do they talk so much?
Fortunately, Karam was still calm and stopped them from communicating after a while.

Soon, BP began.

In this game, IG used a lineup of Akali on top, Jarvan IV in the jungle, and Clockwork in the mid lane, with Xayah and Braum in the bottom lane.

GRF used a lineup with Vladimir on top, Lee Sin in the jungle, Ryze in the mid lane, and EZ and Tam in the bottom lane.

Judging from the lineup alone, IG's lineup is more mid-term oriented.

She was very strong during the period of Xayah's three-piece set and Clockwork's three-piece set, and had strong team-fighting capabilities.

But once you fall into the passive state, it will be very uncomfortable to play, because both Cs need equipment support.

GRF's lineup is more flexible, and its late-game and protection capabilities are not bad.

However, the disadvantage is more obvious than that of IG's lineup, that is, the lack of excellent team-starting points, which makes them more passive.

In this game, Cvmax finally did not adopt Viper's idea and chose a lineup that was more stable and better able to fight in the late game.

On the one hand, he still has more confidence in the personal abilities of his players, and he chooses heroes that he is good at.

On the other hand, it was also because he found that IG's operations were still very organized, and it was unrealistic to expect to win in the early and mid-term.

Compared to the life-and-death lineup in the early and mid-game, GRF is more inclined to choose a lineup in the late game.

This is also the BP feature of the LCK region in this era.

Even though the version has clearly begun to move towards resource-grabbing groups, they still like to operate.

This is actually not their fault.

After all, operations are really useful, and strong teams can even use operations to kill the opponent.

Sadly, this is the S9.

Resource groups were very frequent in S9. The dragon-drawing dragon caused by the little dragon made it impossible for LCK to avoid the fight at will, and the plating benefits brought by the vanguard should not be underestimated.

"ended."

Players from FPX and G2 also came to the scene.

Doinb put his hands behind his head and shook his head slightly.

Based on his understanding of the version, the lineup chosen by GRF is too weak.

It is indeed powerful in the later stages, but lacks initiative in the early stages.

How was FPX defeated by IG in the summer season?
It’s because they often lose the initiative in the early stages and can only passively take the beating.

Then you are forced to join a team fight, and the more you fight, the more you lose.

There is a high probability that GRF's lineup will follow in FPX's footsteps.

"Did you see anything, Xiaotian?"

Zhanma's expression remained unchanged as he asked Xiaotian who was sitting next to him.

He had already determined that GRF could not be IG's opponent, and the probability of today's victory was 3-0.

The reason for coming to the scene is, first, to familiarize myself with tomorrow's venue, and second, to observe IG up close.

Even though it's likely that nothing will be visible, the finals are only about a week away.

There is no shortage of training time.

Is not it?
Xiao Tian:……

What does it mean to keep asking me what I think? Am I Yuan Fang?
"Forehead……"

He hesitated.
"I feel like IG's top lane is in fantastic shape."

"Oh?"

Warhorse's eyes lit up.

"Xisuo!"

"IG's new jungler doesn't really like ganking the top lane, but he always gives reminders to the top laner and sometimes even helps them train."

"But most of the time, top lane isn't actually in his vision."

"So I think if we want to break through IG, we have to find a way to divert the jungler's attention."

"Attack in the middle or bottom lane. Then let Songsong [Liu Qingsong] roam the top lane and target Theshy."

This is what Xiaotian is thinking.

It only took Theshy a little over a month to go from being unrestrained to being steady.

You said Theshy's playing style has completely changed in more than a month?
That's impossible.

The reason why the situation was handled so smoothly was that the new jungler provided a lot of additional information, thus ensuring Theshy's safety.

So as long as Xu Xinghe's attention is diverted, it will not be difficult for FPX to catch him given Theshy's playing style.

"Yes, Not Bad."

The Warhorse coach smiled with satisfaction.

After the group stage, Xiaotian has indeed grown a lot.

He knows how to take advantage of the differences in support to make the best possible tactics. Just in this respect, he is much stronger than in the summer season.

Because the thinking is different.

More than half an hour later.

After 37 minutes of game time, IG ended the second game against GRF with a score of 13 to 5.

Two to zero!
Cvmax was very cunning in this game, and Dachao's development was also perfect.

but--

It's him!

It's him!

It's still him!
Our hero, Sword!

Even when he got a hero like Vampire who would not have any problems as long as he didn't die, he was still very brave enough to die.

When Theshy's Akali entered the field, she was directly blocked by Viper.

Even if Tam can give up W to protect the C position.

But Tam only has one W, but the C position has two.

With the formation of Clockwork's equipment, IG's team battle strength began to surpass GRF.

After a two-for-four exchange in the Baron pit, the victory of the game was secured.

Countless Korean audiences felt their brains trembling.

[Could it be that... we're really going to be eliminated by a score of 3-0?!]
