I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

Chapter 131 Kkoma: This is why LPL can't win the championship

With both sides finalizing their lineups, the second game is about to begin.

However, at this moment on the Chinese internet, netizens are having a heated discussion about another issue.

G2 really picked Olaf!

The reason this topic has generated so much discussion is that in Chapter 131 of the novel "Six-Crown King" on Qidian, during the match between Snake and G2, it was explicitly stated that G2 used an Olaf-based rush strategy.

Although the lineup of Galio, Olaf, and Gem in the novel differs somewhat from reality, the core of G2's lineup, including their tactical thinking, is generally the same!

It's simply that in reality, Snake Esports stole Galio from G2.

Furthermore, as MSI progressed, netizens discovered that the novel's predictions about the teams that would advance from the Play-In Stage to the Group Stage, including the four teams that would ultimately reach the Semifinals, were all accurate.

However, unlike the novel Wang Ke wrote during the World Championship that directly provided the answers, Wang Ke is now a professional player, and with his daily high-intensity review and summarization, he has provided detailed analysis and interpretation of each team in the novel, which makes it seem very reasonable.

The focus has also shifted from writing sensational content to more scientific and evidence-based content analysis.

Therefore, when people see the content in the novel, their reaction has changed from whether this person knows some inside information to whether this person truly understands the game.

Regarding G2's use of the Olaf and Taric composition, the novel describes it as follows: "Trick used Olaf in four games during the Spring Split with good results, but this composition also had significant problems. For example, while Olaf had crowd control immunity, he lacked tankiness or damage, and the team lacked effective initiation tools. Therefore, G2 developed tactics around Olaf jungle, ultimately summarizing a composition centered around Olaf, with Galio assisting in engagements, Taric ensuring survivability, and ADCs like Ashe and Varus providing initiation capabilities."

This passage is well-written and logically presented, and it seems as if the author had reasonably extended and conceived the lineup after watching G2's Spring Split matches.

At the time this chapter of the novel was released, MSI was still in the qualifying stage.

This has led netizens to make reasonable speculations.

G2, a top-tier club in the European region, dares to plagiarize a novel's lineup on a Chinese online novel platform?!

Have you no shame whatsoever?!

This speculation may seem absurd, but it actually has the fertile ground to cultivate this kind of thinking.

The novel "Six-Time Champion" is already incredibly popular in the Chinese League of Legends community.

Moreover, many streamers, commentators, and even professional players have admitted to reading the novel by the six-time champion and expressed strong agreement with the tactical analysis in it.

Especially recently, Newbee player Wuzhuangtai decided to leave Newbee after the Spring Split. In an interview, he revealed that if Newbee's coach Hiro had just glanced at the novel, they wouldn't have lost so badly.

EDG's coach, Nofe, has also publicly stated that he has his translator translate the novel for him every day and is very much looking forward to the opportunity to meet the author of the novel.

When interviewed by reporters, Snake's coach, tactical analyst, player, and commander, White, expressed his attitude towards the novel in just two words.

"A masterpiece."

Therefore, readers of Six Crowns have always joked that Six Crowns is not just a novel, but also a professional and rigorous academic paper.

With that kind of status backing, and the fact that I came up with this Galio Gem lineup earlier than you, isn't that plagiarism?!

Thus, the rumor that top European esports teams plagiarized domestic novels began to circulate on the internet.

Because this rumor was so far beyond what ordinary people could understand, Qidian.com suddenly saw a surge in traffic.

Snake's player bench.

Song Wen, who had been lazily slumped in his chair, suddenly sat up straight.

He subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his hair, and when he opened his hand, he saw a strand of jet-black hair in his palm.

"Prison King, I've become stronger again."

Wang Ke, who had noticed Song Wen's actions long ago, twitched his lips and couldn't help but retort, "Losing a single hair makes you stronger? Then what the hell, when you're bald, are you going to destroy the world?"

"You don't understand."

Song Wen's eyes were deep and profound.

"I don't lose my hair. I don't have the ability to lose my hair. Do you understand what I mean?"

'

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment.

Yes!

Which novelist would write about their protagonist losing hair in their book?!

Anyway, he occasionally wrote about the protagonist eating, drinking, and defecating, but he never wrote about losing his hair. In other words, Song Wen's hair must be immortal!

Even if Song Wen becomes a pile of bones a hundred years later, his hair should still grow thickly on his head, making him immortal!

Wang Ke gasped: "So you've gotten stronger again."

Song Wen nodded with a cold expression: "Yes, I've become stronger again."

In the Snake team's voice chat, the other members were completely confused by what the two were saying, having no idea what they were talking about.

However, they had long been used to the two's cryptic way of communicating and wisely refrained from asking further questions.

Song Wenping glanced at the clockwork standing in the center and said calmly, "You may not know, but just by standing here, this clockwork is full of flaws in my eyes. I already have a hundred ways to destroy him."

At this moment, the minion waves of both sides were about to reach the lane. While talking, Song Wen controlled Syndra to push forward.

Ap clearly knew that Orianna had no advantage against Syndra in the early game, but he was still a little annoyed to see Syndra pushing right up to his tower.

Syndra repeatedly moved vertically, trying to bait out Orianna's Q skill.

Syndra's Q has a longer range and a shorter cooldown of only four seconds compared to Orianna's Q.

Seeing Syndra's positioning, A-P also started to move and kite, but ended up getting hit by Syndra's Dark Serve.

Ah P, who had gotten a skill for free, was naturally not satisfied and immediately stepped forward.

Song Wen knew that at this distance, the clockwork wouldn't be able to reach him, so he only needed to keep an eye on the clockwork's raising hand.

As long as Clockwork raises his hand, he can only unleash a skill.

So the moment Syndra saw Orianna raise her hand, she made a sideways movement, directly dodging Orianna's Q skill, and at the same time turned around and auto-attacked Orianna.

Ah P was taken advantage of again and was clearly even more resentful, so he retaliated with a normal attack.

Song Wen pretended to retreat, but just as the clockwork was about to turn around, he turned back and unleashed another QA!

It's worth noting that Syndra not only has a movement speed 5 points faster than Orianna, but also has an attack range 25 yards longer.

By the time Ah P reacted and tried to retaliate, Syndra had already moved out of Orianna's attack range.

In just one exchange of blows, Syndra perfectly capitalized on her advantage, landing two more Qs and one auto-attack on Orianna!

The two sides' lanes have just met, but Ah P's mentality has already undergone some subtle changes due to being pulled back and forth.

Seeing that Orianna was about to use Q, Song Wen didn't retreat but instead advanced and countered with a Q.

He had already gained an advantage through the initial trade, and at this point, it was more important to continue applying pressure and exerting health advantage rather than trying to counter Orianna's Q.

At this point, both sides' melee units were low on health. Seeing Ah P go forward to finish them off, Song Wen pushed forward again and opened fire directly on Clockwerk.

After landing two basic attacks, follow up with a Dark Serve!

At this moment, Orianna hadn't even finished clearing the first wave of minions, and her health was already down to less than two bars. This forced Ap to start frantically using potions, but it also meant that his level 1 trade had completely backfired.

Compared to top lane, the laning battle between mid laners is often not as bloody, but all the attrition is carried out silently, without any intense melee combat. However, Ap's laning phase has already collapsed.

If the battles between top laners are a matter of a swift, decisive strike, then the battles between mid laners are a continuous and suffocating struggle!

At this moment, Ah P was already covered in sweat as soon as he stepped onto the field.

In the previous game, he was, after all, playing with a longer reach against a shorter reach.

However, when the other person's hand was longer than his own, Ah P truly experienced how terrifying that oppressive force was.

The huge health difference meant that Ap had lost the right to contest lane control. Seeing Ap retreat, Song Wen controlled Syndra to turn around and slowly push to level two.

In the commentary booth, seeing that the two mid laners had only just come online and Orianna was already forced back to her tower, Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Black's laning ability is terrifying! Perkz just came online and he's already being pressured so much he can't even farm. This guy's dominance in the mid lane is incredible!"

Remember to say, "I've always said that Black's mentality makes him a player who thrives in big tournaments. Of course, his performance in the LPL has been very strong, but I want to say that today's Black gave me the feeling of being even stronger."

"Yes."

Syndra slowly leveled up to level two, then immediately crossed the lane to pressure Orianna, landing a Q that brought Orianna's health, which she had just regained with a health potion, back down to less than two bars.

Ap wanted to stay behind and gain experience, but seeing Syndra pushing forward, he could only retreat helplessly.

However, Song Wen's next move instantly enraged Ah P.

Syndra pushed forward again after a brief struggle, and this time, she went straight into the turret's attack range!

This made Ah P instinctively want to turn around and unleash a skill.

However, Ah P clearly didn't understand one thing.

Syndra reached level 2 last time, and could have easily used QE or QW, but instead only used Q. Why?

It's not because I can't use my skills.

Instead, they're conserving their skills to directly target the kill threshold!

But Ap is, after all, a man known as the King of European Mage. He knew that if Syndra were to use a QEA combo to trigger Thunderlord's Decree, she could very well kill him instantly.

Therefore, even when he turns around, he maintains an ambiguous distance, ensuring that he stays outside Syndra's basic attack range so that he won't be instantly killed, thus creating an opportunity to counterattack.

The turret's damage was terrifyingly high for a level two Syndra, prompting commentator Guan Zeyuan to exclaim in surprise, "Black! What is he doing?! He's going to get killed by the turret! Is he spacing out?!"

Syndra immediately retreated, as if she had accidentally walked into the turret's attack range due to a positioning mistake.

Seeing Syndra retreat, A-P also subconsciously turned around, but even that distance was enough for Song Wen.

QE second company!

He then immediately used Flash to pull himself out of the turret's attack range to prevent being killed by the turret's third hit.

Seeing Syndra make her move, Perkz didn't make any move, but only tried to dodge by moving around.

Because he knew that even if he took the hit from Syndra's QE, Syndra's damage wouldn't be enough.

Syndra's flash out of the tower made Ap almost laugh.

The opposing team was too eager to prove themselves; their actions this time were truly clownish.

Ah P couldn't help but curl up his lips into a wicked smile.

However, the next second, his smile froze on his lips.

Looking at the gray screen, Ah P was filled with disbelief.

boom!

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Black instantly killed Orianna with a single QE combo! Ap still has his Flash available! He was too confident, trying to dodge the skills with positioning, but he ended up getting melted instead!!"

Remember's eyes were noticeably more discerning than Guan Zeyuan's. He said, "Did you see that special effect above Orianna's head before she died? If I'm not mistaken, that should be Thunderlord's Decree, right? But how did Black trigger Thunderlord's Decree with just two skills, Q and E?! It feels like the damage would have been slightly lower without that Thunderlord's Decree!"

The words made Guan Zeyuan pause for a moment, and he asked in surprise, "Huh? There's Thunderlord's Decree? That's impossible, Syndra can't possibly auto-attack Orianna from this distance, and you can't trigger Thunderlord's Decree with only two skills, right?"

"Yes."

As we all know, the Thunder effect requires three attacks to trigger.

Syndra only used two skills.

The live stream chat was filled with question marks.

【? ? ? 】

[I've gotten another solo kill at level two!]

[This is hilarious, Ah P!]

[Mid-lane gap.]

[I remember it a bit ridiculously; how could a single QE move trigger Thunder?]

At this moment, the director began showing a replay of the solo kill in the mid lane.

With the slow-motion footage and the reminder from Ji De, everyone could clearly see the lightning effect falling on Ah P's head this time.

[I! I really do possess thunder!]

[Bug?]

How did they do that?

[The black screen has been opened.]

This story teaches us that you shouldn't be arrogant, or you'll get struck by lightning.

In fact, Syndra's QE directly triggering Thunderlord's Decree is a relatively uncommon trick, especially in 2017 when many hero tricks had not yet been developed.

The main mechanism by which Syndra's QE combo triggers Thunderlord's Decree is that Syndra's E skill itself has a knockback effect.

The stun effect is triggered only when Syndra's dark hairball is touched.

In terms of mechanics, knockback is one effect, and stun is another.

Song Wen deliberately placed his Q skill at a position far back from Orianna, so that Orianna would be hit by the knockback first and then the stun. At the same time, the Dark Orb from the initial Q skill directly triggered the Thunder Clap effect, causing Orianna, who thought she was not in the kill range, to die instantly!

"How about it, bro? Wasn't my QE Thunder play cool?"

Wang Ke shook his head: "I think it's just average, not EQ."

Wang Ke's words made Song Wen laugh in exasperation.

"You armchair strategists just love to keep chanting EQEQEQEQ! Anyone who actually plays Syndra regularly doesn't chant EQ all the time."

"Always on your lips? What's the difference between my actions and EQ?! EQEQ, do you think you're playing ARAM?!"

Wang Ke chuckled and said, "You get all worked up over just one sentence."

"Preventing people from showing off is like killing your father!"

Seeing that Song Wen had really become famous, Wang Ke sighed.

"Hey fan, give Wen Ge a shout-out."

"Brother Wen was fucking awesome that time! It wasn't just the details of his play, but also his mental game. He completely crushed that idiot, Ah P."

Wang Ke was taken aback: "I asked the fans to praise me, why are you getting involved, Holy Gun Bro?"

Crystal laughed until his stomach hurt: "It's been too long since we've had any screen time, so I'm trying to make my presence known."

Wang Ke glanced at the middle lane.

In order not to miss the minion wave in front of the tower, the player who was solo killed chose to teleport back to the lane.

Song Wen, on the other hand, chose to walk back online.

Song Wen's solo kill was a huge win for Snake Esports, and it even created a TP advantage for them.

How to utilize this TP is something Wang Ke needs to consider.

He pressed the recall button, checked the ward placement time information he had recorded in the message bar, and waited another fifteen seconds before speaking: "Crystal, place the ward in the bush. Song Wen, push the wave in mid lane. Saofen, go clear the Krugs first, then go fight the F6. I need you to move to mid lane as soon as possible."

This ward is for Song Wen's Syndra teleport.

The reason for waiting fifteen seconds was to wait for G2 to disappear from view!

Previously, during the battle for the bushes, G2's support lost vision in the bushes.

Wang Ke must wait until G2's vision of the bushes disappears before placing the ward.

Because TP has a mechanism in place.

That means when you teleport to a ward, if that ward has been seen by the enemy before, then the moment your teleport appears, a ward will appear out of nowhere on the enemy's minimap, which means someone has teleported to that spot.

This will allow the enemy to react immediately.

With such a long channeling time for TP, by the time Song Wen's Syndra landed, the enemy had already run back to their tower.

If the enemy hasn't seen this scout ward, it won't appear on their minimap when you teleport.

Of course, on the entire map, if the opponent switches screens and moves to this position, they can still see the TP beam.

And that's what Wang Ke and Crystal are going to do next.

They're about to start laying the line.

After a season of adjustment, the Snakes' teamwork is now vastly different from what it used to be.

When his team's bottom lane was pushed back to their tower, Song Wen had already pushed the lane in the mid lane and retreated to his own tower.

Fearing a gank, A-P placed wards in the bushes above and below the river, but failed to spot Syndra's movements, so he could only report a MISS.

G2's bot lane, taking advantage of their lane priority, had placed a deep ward just before the dragon pit, enough to ensure they could spot Syndra as soon as she arrived and retreat in time. So they weren't too worried and continued to press against Snake's tower.

Mithy, the assistant, kept switching screens, trying to find clues in the fog of war.

However, due to his habitual thinking, even though he switched screens to look at the river and jungle areas, he didn't think to switch to his own backside to take a look.

On the contrary, during the process of exhausting and pulling, Zven unconsciously switched the screen to the back due to mouse movement.

Then he saw a flash of red light in the grass.

The red light disappeared so quickly that he wondered if he was seeing things and didn't react for a moment.

However, the truth is that he discovered it too late. By the time he looked down into the bush, Syndra had already teleported to the ground!

At that moment, Wang Ke's actions gave Zvne no time to think.

Tahm Kench immediately flashed to initiate, and then used an AQ combo right up to Jhin's face!

Mithy paused for a moment, instinctively activating her E skill to stun Tahm Kench, muttering in bewilderment, "Is he crazy?"

Zven finally realized what was happening. He wanted to tell himself that the negligent support Syndra had already teleported behind them, but without him saying a word, Syndra had already walked out on her own.

"Why is Syndra here?!"

Song Wen's skills were so difficult to execute, he only used QW to slow down enemies.

Jhin can't use his E unless he uses Flash.

Meanwhile, Tahm Kench recovered from his stun and chased after Jhin.

Vayne then performed a forward roll to chase after Jhin and begin dealing damage.

Zven was surrounded by three enemies, and Syndra's positioning was particularly disgusting, almost blocking all his escape routes. Helpless, he could only flash towards the river.

However, Song Wen had already prepared his skills. The moment Jhin flashed, he used QE to stun Jhin in place!

"Give the kill to Little K, otherwise the bot lane will be under a lot of pressure."

Seeing Syndra start to twitch, Wang Ke immediately knew what Song Wen was trying to do and quickly said, "Sao Fen, go to mid lane and block the minion wave for Song Wen!"

Song Wenguang quickly switched the screen to look at the mid lane. Seeing that the prince could help him block this wave of minions, he gave up the idea of ​​taking the kill.

Vayne secured Jhin's kill with a single auto-attack, and Snake Esports didn't waste time engaging in any pointless skirmishes with Taric. Syndra immediately headed towards the mid lane.

Watching the bot lane secure the kill, the commentator, Remember, remarked, "Snake's discipline is truly unmatched. SofM held off Syndra on this minion wave, and Black used this TP to..."

They helped the bottom lane gain an advantage while suffering almost no losses themselves. And they knew that getting the kill on Taric was difficult, so they made a very decisive move, not bothering to waste time trying. I feel like 80% of teams couldn't do that.

Guan Zeyuan seemed puzzled and said, "But G2's bot lane duo made a big mistake this time! Didn't they see Syndra's flank teleport? That shouldn't be possible! I remember they should be able to see it when she teleports."

Upon hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, Ji De quickly began to explain.

"This is the most meticulous part of Snake Esports! They deliberately waited until the vision of G2's bottom bush disappeared before placing the ward. TP has a mechanism where the enemy's TP will not be displayed on the minimap if you don't see the enemy's ward. Plus, G2's two players were pushing the tower at the time, so they probably didn't switch screens to the back to see the TP's glow."

"Yes."

Hearing Ji De's explanation, Guan Zeyuan was somewhat surprised and said, "You even know such obscure knowledge?"

I remember replying somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I only learned about this recently. It was mentioned in Chapter 129 of the novel 'Six Crown King'."

When Rita remembered that the novel "Six-Crown King" had been mentioned again, she finally took it to heart this time.

After this explanation, she must go back and read the novel carefully, so that she won't always have to say "yes".

Meanwhile, the chat room was already in an uproar.

The Snake team's coordination and attention to detail are truly top-notch.

This is what you call a top-tier team.

[I remember it's started again. I doubt that book was actually written by JiGu.]

[Does Qidian have any collaboration with Laopi Lao? They're promoting it every day.]

Didn't you know that Tencent acquired Qidian two years ago?

[Case solved. So you're just doing a soft ad here, aren't you?]

[The six-time champion is truly something else. After reading that novel, I went from Bronze to King in just one month.]

G2 players' bench.

Syndra's sudden teleport gank caused Zven, who had already gained some advantage in the laning phase, to complain a few times.

However, apart from Ah P, who is gradually gaining popularity, the general public's mindset has not been greatly affected.

After all, they knew that the key to their lineup lay with Olaf.

This Olaf and Gem-based formation system gives them a certain degree of confidence.

But the constant stream of victories coming from the middle lane was gradually eroding their confidence.

Six minutes later, Syndra, who was the first to reach level six, seized the opportunity and once again secured a solo kill in the mid lane.

Under immense psychological pressure, Ah P's actions began to visibly distort.

Eight minutes in, Perkz made another positioning mistake and was caught by Syndra's crowd control, resulting in another instant kill.

Syndra's damage output during this period was far superior to the later, weaker versions that could be countered.

Once you gain an advantage in the mid lane, you can easily take down squishy mages like Orianna with a simple QE combo, followed by a W-R combo with your saved orbs.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan wore a gloating smile as he watched Ah P fall again.

"Wow, Perkz, he's already been solo-killed three times in eight minutes! This is a pure mid-lane gap, he's completely crushed, and he's down 28 CS! This is mid-lane! You were so arrogant before the game, how did you get so cocky! It feels like Perkz isn't thinking about how to lane anymore, he's thinking about how to retract his tweets."

Remember also chimed in, "Indeed, the skill gap between the two mid laners is too big. And it's obvious that Perkz's mechanics are much worse than in the last game; that QE he landed just now seemed a bit illogical! I guess the psychological pressure was just too much."

"Yes."

Guan Zeyuan continued to tease, "To be honest, if you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. Black is truly the player with the best mentality I've ever seen, bar none. Regardless of winning or losing, I've never seen him make frequent mistakes due to excessive pressure during a match. If you, A-P, want to imitate him, you still need to train a bit, otherwise why will fans call you a clumsy imitator?"

Seeing that Guan Zeyuan was starting to get cocky, Remember, fearing that the Snake team players might start spitting out insults, quickly interrupted, "But G2's top laner Gnar is doing pretty well right now. Flandre's Galio is still having a tough time against Gnar—wait! Trick, it seems like G2 is going to make a move on the top lane!"

In fact, Trick originally wanted to gank Syndra in the mid lane.

After all, he had already reached level six, and once Syndra activated her ultimate, there was nothing he could do.

All you need to do is hide in the back and shield yourself, then unleash your ultimate when he gets close. This gank in the mid lane is incredibly easy.

However, to Trick's surprise, just as he was about to communicate with A-P, A-P was solo killed in the mid lane.

But no one said much about Ah P's outrageous performance.

In the first game, everyone joked that they knew Ah P wasn't really famous yet.

But it was clear that Ah P, who remained silent in the second round, was truly and utterly defeated and demoralized.

As the absolute core of G2, Perkz has consistently delivered outstanding performances in previous matches. Without his excellent play, G2 would not have been able to make it to this year's MSI.

So Trick just silently ran towards the top lane.

Saint Gun Bro didn't have a good time in the top lane this game.

Galio had almost no chance to fight back against Gnar, who had long arms.

However, this was not a mistake by Wang Ke in the draft phase.

Galio became a T0-level top laner in the MSI version because he could effectively counter strong top laners like Rumble and Kennen in lane.

But G2 picked Gnar.

In reality, while Gnar seems to have the ability to initiate team fights after transforming into a larger form, he is not actually very compatible with G2's lineup.

G2's lineup is a typical one that requires all five players to group up and charge into the fray. Once they get the chance, Olaf will use Taric's ultimate to charge into the fray, which requires precise timing.

Therefore, heroes like Galio, Kennen, and Rumble, who can immediately follow up with crowd control or damage output in team fights, are the best choices.

G2's team fight strategy revolves around eliminating a key enemy carry before Olaf's and Taric's ultimates expire; otherwise, they're just playing around.

Therefore, they need their top laners to always stick together and be ready to engage in team fights at any time.

In this lineup, Gnar loses his split-pushing advantage, and due to the influence of Gnar's rage mechanism, his real-time combat ability is far inferior to Rumble's.

Therefore, G2's purpose in picking Gnar was to pursue an advantage in the lanes in this game. With no lane priority in the mid lane, they wanted to provide Olaf with some protection in the jungle and picked Gnar while Rumble was still outside.

Therefore, this was not a victory for G2 in the draft phase, but rather a helpless compromise after Wang Ke took the initiative to pick Galio and Syndra.

However, Olaf had only just run into the upper jungle when Galio disappeared from under the tower.

He instinctively looked down the road.

Sure enough, the prince had already reached the bottom lane's tri-bush area.

Trick was terrified by the Snakes' discipline.

Galio probably didn't see himself in his field of vision.

However, when his teammates were all about to engage in the bottom lane, he chose to retreat and avoid giving G2 any opportunities.

Any opportunity.

The reason why Snake launched an attack on the bottom lane was because they saw that Ap had just been solo killed and used his TP, so they immediately made a move!

Lee Sang-hyeok's hotel room was packed with people.

Almost the entire SKT team was crammed into his room, watching the live broadcast of the G2 vs. Snake match.

After seeing G2's bot lane get double-killed by a four-man gank, SKT's head coach kkOma couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this team's discipline is really good. They don't feel like a team from the LPL at all."

After so many years of competition between LCK and LPL, LCK has almost formed stereotypes about LPL teams.

They lack discipline, are obsessed with fighting, and only know how to win games through team battles.

Snake's performance in the group stage still largely matches Kkoma's stereotypes about the LPL.

However, with the appearance of Wang Ke and Song Wen in the semifinals, the Snake team transformed, as if they were a completely different team.

In Kouma's opinion, the Snake Esports team's discipline and operations are absolutely top-notch.

Many people may have a stereotype when they hear the word "operations," thinking that operations is just about playing the lanes and trading gold.

It can only be said that EDG's tendency to imitate others has played a significant role in giving LPL viewers such a stereotype.

Operations refer not only to avoiding battles and developing resources when at a disadvantage, but also to how to snowball an advantage, reduce mistakes, and avoid the opponent trading resources.

In this respect, the Snake team has done it to the extreme.

Just like this wave where Snake team ganked the bottom lane with four players.

A certain LPL team also likes to use a four-man gank on the second lane.

The biggest difference between the two teams is that when one team ganks the other two, it's just to help the bottom lane gain an advantage, while when the Snake team gathers its team and makes a move, its goal is definitely not just to get kills.

After eliminating G2's bot lane duo, they quickly pushed down G2's outer bot lane turret and secured the dragon, maximizing their gains.

The reason why Snake Team was able to do so much after securing the kill is because they took into account skill differences, the health of the turrets, the turret pushing speed during this period, the opponent's respawn time, and their support capabilities.

That's why they made the choice of four-on-two.

Instead of launching a four-on-two attack first, and then seeing what can be done after that, we should focus on the situation.

"Their command was intelligent and decisive. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been so decisive."

As SKT's commander, woIf couldn't help but praise them.

This is why Kkoma had all the SKT players watching the live stream here.

The experience of watching a live match is different from post-match analysis.

Live streaming allows players to better immerse themselves in the experience and consider what choices they would make in that moment.

Koma then looked at the silent Lee Sang-hyeok and asked, "What do you think of their mid laner?"

When Kkoma asked him, Lee Sang-hyeok thought for a moment and said, "Ah—it's not easy to evaluate. They played very aggressively, but perhaps the reason they were able to gain such a big advantage is because G2's mid laner played a bit wrong."

Actually, Lee Sang-hyeok's words were somewhat insincere.

While watching the live stream, when Lee Sang-hyeok put himself in Perkz's shoes to watch the game, he realized that he had made two choices that could have led to his solo kill.

But Lee Sang-hyeok believed that his laning phase wouldn't put him in a disadvantageous position like Perkz's, so he deliberately ignored this situation.

As a three-time champion, Lee Sang-hyeok's strength is terrifying, but his confidence also makes him just as stubborn.

"Ah! Sang-hyeok hyung will definitely beat that Black guy, right?" Huni's excited voice rang out. "Anyway, I don't think their top laner is very good. If it were me, I feel like I could have made some plays under the tower. Giving up a wave and a half of minions without even looking at the experience is the worst choice. If he doesn't even have the confidence to make that kind of play, this top laner is really not good."

Upon hearing Huni's words, Koma's face darkened.

He had just praised the Snake team's discipline when Huni told him to try and make a play. This kid is really getting cocky.

Koma knew that although Huni was undoubtedly the best top laner at the moment, his arrogance and reckless personality were like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

"His choice was right. And I've mentioned this situation to you at least five times already, and you're still telling me you want to try it out?!"

Upon hearing Kouma's reprimand, Huni shrank back and immediately disappeared.

Huni's current attitude towards Koma is: you can criticize all you want, I'll just do my thing.

If he hadn't dared to make decisions and had actually listened to Kkoma in everything, SKT might not have won the Spring Split championship this year.

Seeing that Huni was silent, Koma continued, "And Snake's draft was also very good. It was clear that G2 wanted to use Olaf and Taric's ultimate to create a strong engage composition, but Snake seemed to have anticipated this and perfectly countered it with their own composition. G2 was still waiting for Olaf to get going, but even if Olaf did get going, it didn't seem to make much of a difference."

Peanut, sitting on the other side, raised his hand and said, "Coach, I have some information to share with you about this."

Peanut waved his phone and continued, "A fan of mine told me that there's a really popular novel in China that mentioned G2 several days ago."

Regarding the Olaf composition, I heard that LPL pro players and coaches are all studying that novel.

Bang put his arm around Peanut's shoulder and said with a grin, "Are you a Chinese female fan? You're quite popular in China, aren't you?"

Koma clearly didn't take Peanut's words seriously, and even felt insulted, especially when he heard Peanut's last sentence, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"This is why LPL can't win a championship. A bunch of professional guys are studying novels? It's hilarious, this world has gone mad."
