Chapter 5: Steel front, who is afraid of whom!
"Great, Kim Hyun-jong, you still know me. I know I'm definitely going to choose to compete. Liu Hedong clenched his fists happily.
Looking at Yoo Ha Dong's happy appearance, Kim Hyun Jong really couldn't bear to tell SΓΉ Yoo Ha Dong that this game was the best for him not to participate.
Liu Hedong's first game is very important, if Liu Hedong's abused body is incomplete, then whether there will be a second game in the future depends entirely on Cui Minlong's mood.
Looking at Cui Minlong's appearance, he is not interested in Liu Hedong at all, it is estimated that Liu Hedong's performance is bad this time, and Cui Minlong will basically not give Liu Hedong a second chance to play.
But does he have any choice? After all, he can't dominate Liu Hedong's choice. He knew that no matter what, Yoo Ha Dong would choose to compete.
Now, he doesn't mind pouring more cold water on Liu Hedong: "Don't be too happy, you don't have any run-in with the current team members at all, so you must listen to Cui Minlong's arrangement." and played normally in the game, so that Cui Minlong couldn't be picky. You're a substitute after all, and there's still a long way to go. β
"I understand." Liu Hedong said with a smile.
Jin Xianzhong is still a little worried, with his understanding of Liu Hedong, the other party is not a person who keeps to himself at all.
In this way, several people took the car to the OGN competition venue.
On the way, Cui Minlong, as the head coach, told Liu Hedong everything he needed to know.
The rules of the OGN are very different from those of the Chinese LPL League.
The sixteen teams are divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D. Each of the four groups has four teams and competes in BO2.
1:1 Both teams score one point each.
2:0, 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser.
At the end of the game, the top two teams in each group advance to the quarterfinals, while the bottom two are directly relegated to the NLB League, which is the First Division.
After entering the quarterfinals, the rules of the game will be changed to BO5, and the first three wins will be considered a victory. In the quarterfinals, the top four teams enter the playoffs, where the four teams compete again to determine the championship spot.
As for participating in the S4 world-class competition, it depends on the sum of the points from the Spring and Summer Races.
At the end of June, the group stage of the OGN Summer Championship is almost over.
The GAS team is in Group C, which is ranked second in the points rankings, and has already qualified for the quarterfinals.
The first place in Group C is Lion II.
Today's game is the battle between GAS and lion team 2, and they won, GAS and lion tied for first place in the group stage and continued to play extra games. Lost, Team GAS entered the quarterfinals with a second finish.
In fact, in general, the GAS team has already qualified steadily, and they don't care whether they can win or not. Even if lion is the second team, the strength is a cut above GAS. The two teams have already played a BO2 game at the start of the group stage, with GAS being beaten 2-0.
Cui Minlong also felt that the GAS team would not be able to win the lion second team even if it was officially in the middle laner, so he chose to give Liu Hedong a chance.
Anyway, it's all about losing, Cui Minlong doesn't care anymore.
Liu Hedong, who learned this, was very angry, but he surprisingly didn't vent his anger this time. He knew that it was good to have a chance.
In addition, on the way, Liu Hedong also learned about the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams, as well as the introduction of the members.
The members of the GAS team are: the top laner and a chubby player.
Jungle Gold, a relatively mediocre jungler in the OGN League, has no bright spots and will not make any big mistakes. Although he was crowned as the successor of the four king-level junglers in South Korea, it was actually because there were only eight junglers in the quarterfinals.
Mid laner, the original cay, a player with ups and downs. And now, it is replaced by Liu Hedong, ID: dongfang.
This ID was registered in the OGN League when Yoo Ha Dong signed the substitute contract.
Lower lane combo, ADC, Kaka, auxiliary monkey.
In the car, Liu Hedong had already had a brief exchange with several team members. But it can be seen that these players are not very cold to themselves, and obviously only feel that they are a mixed game, which is of no real use.
Liu Hedong didn't care, and came to the base of the OGN League with the coaching staff and sat in the waiting room.
In the waiting room, Choi Min-ryong's mouth still did not stop, and his obligation as a coach was to set up the battle situation.
"I need to emphasise that Lion II is a team with a central midfield. Cui Minlong said very strictly: "The linkage between Nakano is the key to their team. Their mid laner SK and jungler 'Apple' are both very experienced players, and it is obviously impossible to defeat their midfield linkage head-on. β
Speaking of this, Cui Minlong glanced at Liu Hedong and said lightly: "Because from the current point of view, there is still a gap between our mid-lane strength and SK." Therefore, in this game, we also changed the original Nakano linkage strategy to ADC Kaka as the core. β
Liu Hedong rubbed his eyebrows, he was a little depressed about Cui Minlong's words.
"Coach, what am I going to do?" Jungle Kim asked.
"Do what you can to help open up the advantages of the lower road."
"What about the mid lane? The enemy midfield is linked, I'm going to help the lower lane, and the middle lane can't bear it. β
Cui Minlong said expressionlessly: "I heard Kim Hyun-jong say that Yoo Ha-dong, what you are best at is dragging the enemy player. Much in line with your abilities, SK is a mid laner in the Assassin stream. He mainly plays Assassin Hero. In today's game, as long as he plays Assassin, you immediately lock in the developing midlaner, Bomberman, and clockwork. These are the two choices I gave you, and you guys in China seem to be very good at these two heroes? β
Speaking of this, several Korean players secretly laughed.
The China division does rely heavily on the mid-laner of the development genre of Clockwork and Bomberman.
However, at a small international tournament last month, the Koreans perfectly defeated the strongest division in China, first with the assassin fox, and then with the support type cards, respectively, to sΓΉ the Chinese division.
"I see." Liu Hedong replied coldly.
He knows that both players and coaches actually faintly look down on the current strength of the Chinese division.
"Your job is to hold off SK. As for our lineup selection. A grab of the blind monk, on the single Mondo or ......"
β¦β¦
In this way, Cui Minlong told all the ideas of the game and the differentiation of tactics. Regardless of the pre-match predictions, in fact, South Korea took every game very carefully, and they will arrange their tactical ideas to the fullest. Because if you dare to play negatively, the OGN league will give a very strict punishment to the team.
"Alright, it's time, it's time to play."
When it was time to play, Yoo Ha-dong followed several Koreans and sat in front of the computer.
He brought the mouse and keyboard he used to play qualifying and plugged them into his computer. Then he sat in his position, glancing at the audience from time to time, feeling a little nervous and apprehensive.
Because there were a lot of people in the audience, fans screamed constantly. This is completely different from the scale of him who has only participated in Internet cafΓ© competitions. And he is still in a foreign country, a foreigner, even if Kim Hyun-jong did a lot of ideological work for him before he came, he still has some nervousness.
Liu Hedong took a deep breath, simply closed his eyes, and quietly waited for the game to start.
β¦β¦
Before the game started, the two Korean commentators in the commentary seat were already chatting with each other.
"Today is a contest between two giant teams, GAS and lion second team."
"Cub, I think you should make a pre-match prediction."
The Korean commentator, nicknamed Little Bear, is very handsome, and he made a grimace in front of the camera, which immediately caused screams from many female fans in the audience, and then he said unhurriedly: "I think there is no doubt that the GAS team will lose miserably." β
"Well, your thoughts actually coincided with me, I heard before the game that the substitute for the GAS team will participate today, but to my surprise, this substitute is a Chinese. This makes me feel that the win rate of the GAS team has plummeted. It seems like at a small international event a month ago. We went to the 8th ranked team in the spring and they came with the strongest combination, which we beat 3-0. β
Xiao Xiong also laughed happily: "I don't know what the GAS team thinks, but I think this Chinese, oh, his ID is dongfang." The backstage just sent it to me, dongfang player is a substitute in OGN, and when he returns to China in the future, he must be the hottest player. β
At this, the two commentators looked at each other and laughed.
Because just a month ago, the Chinese spent a lot of money to poach two players in their OGN division who had been almost hidden.
And these two players are currently in a good relationship in China.
Yoo Ha Dong can play in OGN, and it will be the supreme glory to go back, but in the eyes of South Koreans, Yoo Ha Dong is completely a mixed game.
"Alright, it's game on. The GAS team changed to a new midlaner, an oriental player. Let's look forward to the Chinese player's appearance. Little Bear said very lightly. Now the ban election begins, and the GAS side makes substitutions on the spot, and the ban selection qualification is lost. β
"Team GAS is on the blue side, and team lion is on the red side."
"Team Lion banned Bron, Yasuo, and Hammerstone respectively. Well, it's normal to ban the position. The lion second team doesn't seem to have any idea of banning the position to target the midlaner of the GAS team, but just banning two normal new heroes and support hammerstones, does this feel like they must win this game? β
Not so long ago, Bronn and Yasuo just updated two new heroes.
Of course, these two heroes are a bit tall in their metamorphosis, so they haven't appeared once in the group stage.
"Ban selection of positions is over, and the official selection begins."
β¦β¦
Liu Hedong sat in his position, and the selection had begun. As discussed before the game, the musician who was the top single snatched the blind monk at the first time. Finally in exchange for gold.
Among the junglers in Korea, the blind monk and Kazik are undoubtedly the first choice. It can also be said that Koreans rely on these two uncles a lot. In comparison, the Blind Monk is more in line with the current tactical needs of the GAS team.
After snatching the blind monk, the second team of Lion began to select people, and took out the mid-laner fox and the top-laner crocodile respectively.
Basically, at this time, it can be seen that the lion second team is disdainful of the GAS team, because they came up with a set of two positions that are going to blow you up online.
Crocodile, strong online. Fox, online is not strong, but after level 6, it has the ability to kill alone.
Surprisingly, the strategy that Cui Minlong agreed on at the beginning was a late-stage lineup without temper.
It's like now, Team GAS is the second choice for Mondo.
When the hero Mondo comes out, it can be confirmed that the GAS team is planning to play the late game.
The rest is Liu Hedong as a midlaner.
He looked at the screen and clicked on Bomberman......
As the clock ticked by, he chose Bomberman, but he never locked on.
No one noticed Liu Hedong's abnormality.
At this time, Liu Hedong stared at the screen with his eyebrows, recalling Cui Minlong's every word, and then, he moved his mouse lightly, clicked on LeBlanc, and then locked it in seconds!
He is not, as Cui Minlong said, only good at brushing the type of soldier development type of midlaner.
At this moment, the cheers from the audience gradually rose.
Even the two commentators were a little hilarious and said, "It's incredible, this is just head-on, LeBlanc, Fox." It's all about you dying or my rhythm. β
"This newcomer wants to go head-to-head with SK?"
"LeBlanc and the fox, you can only play head-on."
"I'm starting to admire the courage of this newcomer."
