LOL: Reborn in Season 3, Taming Lee Sang-hyeok

Five minutes later...

The atmosphere inside SKT's training room grew increasingly tense.

A team of players frantically clicked on their mice and keyboards, sweating profusely with anxiety.

Damn it, they're not giving us any chance for team fights at all! They're just keeping us there farming and splitting!

It wasn't until the mid-game that RISE's lineup finally began to reveal its secrets.

Don't be fooled by how Jax gets relentlessly attacked by Kennen during the laning phase; once you switch lanes in the mid-game, things change completely.

Weapons can't beat Kennen, but can't just randomly attack Orianna?

As for Sion, it doesn't matter. He's tough, deals high damage, and can push lanes the same no matter who he's fighting.

This resulted in RISE having a significant advantage on both flanks!

SKT's two lanes were pushed back, and they couldn't control the situation at all, trying every possible method.

They considered switching lanes to deal with the situation, but switching lanes would mean incurring losses when the lane was being pushed.

Moreover, Lee Ji-hyeong's command was incredibly sharp; he accurately caught the opponent's movements and commanded Lee Sang-hyeok and Jang Hyung-seok to switch lanes.

Both sides switched lanes simultaneously, but the matchups remained unchanged, resulting in SKT losing a wave of minions for nothing.

SKT did try to exploit the situation, but the results were even worse.

They went to gank the top lane, but Looper's specialty is split pushing, so they didn't give him a chance and he eventually used Flash to escape from the three-man encirclement.

The scene shifts, and Easyhoon's Orianna has already met a brutal end at the hands of Sion and Kha'Zix.

Finally, SKT had no choice but to group up and push down the mid lane.

But that's even more absurd.

Don't forget that Kim Hyuk-kyu chose Sivir.

This version of Sivir with the Statikk Shiv makes clearing waves incredibly easy. Once W is activated, just one auto-attack followed by a Q is enough to clear an entire wave.

After two rounds of minions, RISE's mid tower didn't lose any health, while SKT's side towers lost two towers in a row, resulting in a complete collapse!

The members of the second team were watching from behind.

Although PoohManDu, the assistant commander of the second team, dared not smile, he was quite relieved inside...

That's it!

Fumando hasn't forgotten that training match with MVP a long time ago.

That's how it was in that game.

Once the game reaches the mid-game and both sides start freely switching lanes, the pressure increases dramatically!

The side lanes were constantly pushed, the jungle was constantly invaded, vision was constantly suppressed, ganks were impossible, team fights couldn't be initiated, and they perished in silence...

At that time, he thought it was because his commander was too young.

But now it seems that the same applies to the team commander!

In what ways is Wolf better than me?

Wolf was also puzzled at that moment.

He had clearly sensed from watching the second team play in training matches that the MVP's command was exceptional.

That kind of smooth lane switching and operation is like playing with a full map view; it's definitely not something Mata could do.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Mata was completely outmatched by him, and he never left the mid lane throughout the mid-game, which didn't seem like he was involved in commanding at all.

So, Neo is the only one who can command?

Wolf felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled the elusive Kha'Zix from that game, who still had a 100% team fight participation rate.

This person is a monster.

In the end, SKT finally got to engage in the team fight they had been dreaming of.

This just happened after their economy fell behind by 10,000.

At 21 minutes, Looper's weapon, knowing that burning himself was the right thing to do, appeared from behind, flashing into the fray with his electric fan, stunning three people at the same time!

Mata was also aware of this, so Lulu flashed in and used her ultimate skill to follow up with the knock-up effect!

Li Zhixing's Kha'Zix stealthily enters the fray, instantly killing Kennen with a single Q in mid-air, then disappears back into the crowd upon landing.

SKT's hope for a comeback lies with Kennen and Orianna. Taking down these two first will ensure a smooth team fight.

Li Zhixing had specifically emphasized this point during the team battle, so everyone in RISE had a clear understanding of the situation.

Lee Sang-hyeok also flashed up, unleashing a flurry of Deathfire QW attacks on Kennen, bringing him to low health in a single exchange.

Li Zhixing's mantis reappeared, and with another Q, he completed a combo!

SKT had been looking forward to a team fight for a full ten minutes, but it collapsed right at the start.

Two key players in the team fight were killed one after another, and even though Bang's plane had a perfect output environment, it was too late to turn the tide.

Kkoma watched as his team was wiped out without losing a single member, and sighed deeply.

A thousand words in my heart ultimately boil down to one sentence: "Let's end it."

Upon hearing this, Wolf quickly typed GG in the chat box, ending the training match.

The SKT players all turned their gaming chairs around, facing the stares of Kkoma and the second team members, their expressions grim.

It's really unacceptable that a professional team with rich competition experience was completely outmatched by an amateur team.

Bang, who had previously vowed to win, looked extremely unwell.

"The opponents weren't actually that good; we were just careless."

In Bang's view, this game was not unwinnable.

After all, their bot lane completely dominated the opponent, and they had every right to win the game.

However, some details were overlooked. After giving the Kha'Zix a triple kill at the start of the game, the game went in an uncontrollable direction.

If they had handled that wave better, the opposing team would have been the ones to be crushed in that one wave.

In this situation, Bang was naturally unconvinced, believing that he was just impatient because the opponent was too weak.

Wolf had a similar thought, saying, "If we could do it again, we should be able to win this round, right?"

Listening to their conversation, Fu Manduo, the support player from the second team, scratched his head.

He thought the same thing when he was in the practice match against MVP.

However, the subsequent series of failures proved that it was not due to carelessness...

If you're treated like a dog in the mid-game, what good is it if you gain an advantage in the early game?

Ignoring the duo's self-blame and boastful words, Kkoma said in a deep voice, "Before the match, I set a requirement for you that you were not allowed to lose a single game, and you have already failed."

"You must win this second game."

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll still be in the starting lineup for the first team."

These words were incredibly stressful, giving the entire team goosebumps.

They really didn't expect that just an ordinary training match could cost them their starting spot!

The members of the second team's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Wow, there's even a starting spot available!

People are not killed for their own sake.

The difference between starting for the first team and playing for the second team, which means you can reach the top league in OGN, is like night and day.

One more flower! Neo!

Meanwhile, at RISE's new base.

Li Zhixing is currently acting as a coach, conducting a serious court trial.

In today's training match, Li Zhixing originally planned to let his teammates perform as much as possible to test the team's strength.

Unexpectedly, the fight turned into a personal showcase for him.

Winning was expected, but the thrilling process of winning was not what he wanted.

The top lane was countered and was down 20 CS. If Li Zhixing hadn't made the enemy Prince so badly defeated, the top lane would have become the breakthrough point.

Needless to say, the support role is completely useless. If you die twice in the laning phase, you're a clear weak point. Even in the late game, you're practically useless. Pick Lulu and use her protection skill; who can resist that?

Only my two younger brothers performed well.

One executed the order perfectly and worked seamlessly with Li Zhixing to stabilize the situation.

The other player managed to stabilize the situation, surviving a single death despite being at a significant disadvantage in the bottom lane, and also successfully defended the towers in the mid-game.

The starter Pokémon are definitely the best; the Pokémon you catch on the roadside later are far inferior.

Looper and Mata, who were caught on the roadside, were trembling with fear after being scolded by Li Zhixing, and dared not utter a word of resistance.

"Let's just let this round go."

Li Zhixing said softly, "In the second game, I'll hold back a bit and give you guys the responsibility of carrying the team. I hope you won't let me down."

"good!"

Mata, who had committed a serious crime in the previous round, nodded emphatically.

This victory in the first game further solidified Mata's determination to join RISE.

Let's leave aside this extremely luxurious base for now...

How amazing is it that a newly formed team can beat SKT in their first scrim?

If they make it into OGN, the championship will surely belong to someone else.

Mata could sense that this second practice match might be his only chance in his life.

He absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!
