Chapter 173: Expedition to MSI

There are less than three days left before the expedition.

As the time of the game approached, Chen Lang was still a little nervous in the training room.

Unlike the factory managers, these veterans have experience in the competition.

In particular, the factory manager and Meiko won the MSI championship in 2015 four years ago.

On the contrary, it was himself, in these competitions, except for typing the keyboard, who had ever experienced this kind of personal play.

"What, nervous again?"

As the team leader, the factory director always pays attention to everyone's changes in the training room.

At the first time, he found that something was not quite right in Chen Lang's state.

Chen Lang stopped the basic skill practice of mending the knife in his hand, turned his head and said with a wry smile: "I must be nervous, the strength of the person who played against me in the first game is not weak." ”

"What's so nervous about playing PVB, Brother Lang started pretending again." The junior brother is very relaxed and is playing a hanbok rank. Choosing to return to the city, the junior brother turned his head and said: "The basic things like mending knives have been practiced by Brother Lang for a long time." I think Brother Lang must be pretending, judging from the content of the exercises, he didn't put PVB in his eyes. ”

"It makes sense, Xiao Lang is really true. Before the game started, he had already entered the state in advance and started acting. ”

The director of the factory responded, and he also felt a little fake.

If you are really nervous, you are afraid of your opponent.

Under normal circumstances at the moment, it is more about studying the opponent, and then training some heroes and so on, how can it be possible to practice the basic mending knife here.

This thing, as a player of their level, has long formed an instinct to mend the knife, and it doesn't need to be practiced too deliberately. Occasionally practice alone, which is like Chen Lang practicing every day.

Hearing his teammates' words, Chen Lang really wanted to vomit blood.

It's not because the level of self-repair is too poor, otherwise you need to practice every day.

Especially in the case of interference, it is always easy to make mistakes and have to practice.

In the last game against IG, his Ruiz mending knife was suppressed very badly.

It's a loss to fatten up your teammates, otherwise it's a bloody situation.

If you practice mending the knife by yourself, you can also be said by your teammates to be fake. What's so ...... It's useless for me to say anything, you just treat me as a big guy.

But Chen Lang can't let his teammates think like this all the time.

When I won the championship, I was already put on the table.

In case you get black, it's not good to be sprayed by your teammates.

Chen Lang deliberately said: "Don't talk nonsense, PVB is also very strong." Especially the one who is on the opposite line with me is also a genius on the list, known as "Yue Nan TheShy". ”

It's really not a fool's errand.

First of all, his real strength is weak. It doesn't matter what team, even if it's a wild card team, if you take out any of them, you actually beat him.

In the past few days, the play-in tournament of MSI has ended, and the list of matches for the group stage has also come out.

They faced two teams on the first day, the first was PVB, and the other was an old friend of the LPL, good brother G2.

During this time, he has systematically studied his opponents, and he still has a certain understanding of the PVB team.

PVB is a Vietnamese team, the oldest player is no more than 20 years old, generally in 18 or 19, it is a very young team that dares to play.

Chen Lang knows very well that it is okay to talk to people who mistakenly think that they are great gods and coax themselves. I'm afraid that I will encounter this kind of stunned green man and desperately press him, and then I will have to reveal my true form.

But Meiko's next words thundered Chen Lang.

After listening to what he said, Meiko said with a very serious expression: "You're talking about Zeros!" PVB is currently the strongest local professional player, two consecutive regular season MVPs, and although he is only 18 years old, he is a dominant top laner in Vietnam. ”

"And what I'm good at are some fighters, AP-type top laners, in general, belong to Kerry-type top laners. There is no mention of operation or line capability. Indeed, many people have compared him to TheShy, and have been jokingly called "Vietnamese TheShy".

"Uh-huh, that's right!"

Chen Lang nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and gave Meiko a thumbs up in his heart.

That's the good brother, help me speak.

Don't say anything, I'm going to have Meiko tea tonight.

"But ......"

Chen Langgang didn't nod his head a few times, and Meiko's words changed: "Brother Lang can even win the real TheShy, and what is the Vietnamese TheShy." I bet that when the time comes, Brother Lang will definitely teach Zeros to be a man! ”

“……”

Your sister's!

The corners of Chen Lang's mouth twitched.

I didn't expect this thing to be waiting for him here.

If the baby is wronged, he knows how to bully honest people.

When the others heard Meiko's words, they all followed suit.

Now, if you want to practice mending the knife with peace of mind, you don't have a chance.

Ay!

Chen Lang shook his head.

Let's go for Rank and find some confidence!

Exit the training mode and go directly to the large national server rank.

Needless to say, the hero is Raven.

Since the end of the previous matches, Raven's proficiency has increased to a world-class level.

He has experimented that using Raven at this level to play the national service rank, even if it is the king's bureau, it is a slaughter.

If it weren't for the fact that the team has so many other things to do, including preparing for MSI.

He suspected that with Raven's hero, he could be ranked in the top ten of the national server alone, and it was very likely that he would be even higher.

Proficiency is a good thing, but it's a shame.

MSI's group stage is basically B01. The groups will take turns to play each other, and the top points will advance to the final knockout stage and compete for the championship.

Therefore, if you want to lose in the group stage, it is not advisable to earn a high level of proficiency. Because of a loss, the team has low points, and it may face the situation of not being able to advance.

After thinking about it, he also thought of a workaround.

There is one thing that he has always ignored, and his mind is full of hero levels.

It was only in the last few days that he woke up to the fact that proficiency can be used not only for heroes, but also for hand speed, awareness, knife repair ability, pressure resistance and so on.

So the little proficiency he had left in the end was used by him in the ability to mend the knife.

This is actually the reason why he has been practicing mending knives recently.

Chen Lang discovered.

It's not the same as leveling up a hero and then seeing immediate results.

When you use your proficiency on your own abilities, you need to practice on your own, and gradually absorb the effects of the enhancement, not immediately.

Chen Lang can also understand this.

Hero level up is for a single hero, and of course the results are immediate. However, if you change to a different hero, you will immediately fight back to your original form.

And to improve your personal ability, once the overall ability is improved, and then practice each hero, the effect will definitely help.

This method requires less proficiency per boost, but it actually takes longer than leveling up heroes.

If you calculate it overall, it actually costs more proficiency, and you also count the time consumption of your own training familiarity, which is even longer.

However, the benefits are also obvious, and they belong to all-round improvement.

The pros and cons of using both proficiency paths are obvious, and it's up to you to choose.

At the moment, I am shy and want to raise the level of many heroes.

In the short term, Chen Lang has already planned, that is, to improve his basic ability first.

Not to mention the rest, such a basic thing as the ability to repair the knife must be improved.

Otherwise, he will face the dilemma of the last game, if his teammates don't get up, he will have blown himself up by the economy of being pressed on this road.

Especially in MSI, PVB is a young team, and there is a high probability that they will play a more aggressive lineup.

So the opposite top laner is likely to press him like TheShy.

In the eyes of many people in the LPL, these teams belong to the fish belly team.

Playing with IG, it's okay if you're suppressed too much.

If you play against them and you are still pressed too much, the audience will definitely complain, and even some trolls may want to greet him.

Ay!

After all, it's still too much to blame!

Chen Lang shook his head and sighed.

Sometimes he really wants his father to be more powerful, such as like he has seen in his previous life, to give a full-picture vision, to directly fill the operation, and beat everyone.

However, these can only appear in dreams, and the reality is so cruel.

After a few rounds of slaughter, after regaining some self-confidence, Chen Lang returned to the boring mending knife practice again.

This boring practice lasted until the day of boarding.

They arrived in Vietnam the day before the race.

The venue is still very good, and there is no need to reverse jet lag.

The time difference between China and Vietnam is only one hour, which is basically negligible.

It was afternoon when we arrived at our destination.

Chen Lang followed his teammates around casually, but didn't see anything he was interested in.

Back at the hotel, Chen Lang lay on the bed disappointed.

It would be nice if the tournament was held in Thailand, and you could also see the shemales.

I wanted to feel the exotic atmosphere, but the girls here are not very eye-catching.

Like Chen Lang, the factory director and others were also disappointed.

After a night's rest, everyone got up early to make the final pre-game arrangements.

Today is the first day of the group stage with a total of six matches played.

There are two games involving them, one is against PVB at 8 p.m. and the other is against G2 at 10 p.m.

The time frame for the entire MSI competition is very tight.

There are two duels almost every day, which last almost a week.

It's a big test for them and the coaching staff.

Chen Lang sat in the corner of the room, and his brain was running wildly.

Although before coming to Vietnam, he had already thought about what heroes he wanted to play in this series of games.

However, those are preliminarily selected, and depending on the changes in the field, he will have to think of a few more as alternatives.

Abu didn't care so much.

Everyone has long been accustomed to this way of meeting, and they know that Chen Lang is also thinking about the competition.

And on the other side.

PVB pressure is actually even greater.

This time, MSI was held on home soil, which is equivalent to playing at home.

Facing EDG in the first game, the pressure is not small.

The five were in another hotel, and like EDG, they were actively discussing the game that would come in the evening.

Similar scenes were staged simultaneously across the hotels.

Tonight, some people are destined to sleep peacefully, and some people will toss and turn.

The clock was six o'clock, two hours before the start of the race.

Following his teammates, Chen Lang walked out of the room.

Get ready for your first world-class competition!
