After the first round of the summer season, there was a rare picture of three teams tied for first place in the standings.

Compared with the well-defined spring competition, the strength of the major teams in the summer competition is obviously closer.

In Lin Mu's impression, this LPL can be called the most evenly matched in the history of the entire league.

If memory serves, in the previous life, until the end of the entire regular season, EDG, which ranked first, only had 6 wins, which is like mud compared to the top of the previous editions, which often had more than 10 wins.

This was also reflected in the World Championship that year.

As we all know, the S4 knockout round from the quarterfinals to the semi-finals is an internal war of LPL teams, and the strength of the three participating teams is almost all between the two sides, and no one dares to say who will win, and the final result is that every BO5 is full, and there is no winner at all until the last moment.

In a word, in this season, everyone's strength has been infinitely close.

If RT gave LPL a shot in the arm when it was just born last year and changed the entire domestic pattern, then after a year of ups and downs, it has become more and more difficult to stand alone under the general environment of the league.

People are affected by their environment, and so are teams.

In the words of the Internet, if you have been with Laobi for a long time, you yourself will become Laobi sooner or later.

Assimilated!

This is the biggest problem that Lin Mu is currently facing, compared to the defending champion SKT in his previous life, he is congenitally lacking some important conditions.

SKT is born with many stronger teams such as Samsung, KT, CJ and many other stronger teams as competitors, which may seem cruel, but it is an indispensable and very positive nutrient for a team that wants to plant the flag at the World Championship.

This is also the reason why, no matter how bad SKT's state is, it can still easily win when it meets LPL overlord OMG on the All-Star.

The opponents of the two sides on weekdays are not at the same level.

After the end of the first round of games, Lin Mu fell into a series of deep thoughts on the way back from the standings.

In S3, although the Korean league is also very strong, after all, it has only just started, and even SKT is a fledgling, belonging to crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the gap between the two leagues is not as exaggerated as imagined.

This is also the reason why RT was able to defeat SKT in the first place, and Lin Mu used the advantages of his predecessors to make up for this gap through a series of measures.

To be honest, S3Although everyone is very enjoyable, but the understanding and operation of the whole game is simply playing at home, and there is very little research on the lineup and routines.

However, after a year of development and change, this gap is widening at an extremely exaggerated rate, and if you want to make up for it, you can't rely on one or two ultimates and one or two sets of lineups to do it.

In the previous life, the Koreans won S3 and were so crazy, let alone lost.

According to Lin Mu's understanding, after the South Korean team failed in S3, almost the whole country wailed, which gave the South Korean team great pressure, so that the entire OGN league breathed a sigh of relief, just waiting for S4 to take revenge on China.

OGN is different from LPL, even if you can't get along in the professional circle in China, there is still live broadcast as a way out, and in terms of the current environment, most anchors have a higher income than professional players.

In contrast, in South Korea, where the e-sports system is extremely complete and the audience is more demanding, professional players are not enterprising, even if they show a little impoliteness or arrogance to their predecessors, they will be bloodied and even sent blades and dead rats.

Historical reasons have created a strong national self-consciousness among contemporary Koreans.

It is undeniable that this is a narrow-minded and scary thing, but it must be admitted that it is the existence of this narrow-mindedness that has helped Koreans achieve outstanding results in areas such as esports, electronics, and internet services.

Needless to say, under such tremendous pressure, almost every Korean team dreams of beating the LPL, especially RT.

As early as last year, after the end of the S3 finals, Riot announced that S4 would be held in Asia, and the knockout rounds after the quarterfinals will all be settled in South Korea, where e-sports is the most developed.

Held on home soil, you can imagine how far the Koreans' desire for the championship will be.

This is also what Lin Mu is most worried about.

Although the team is in good shape after the reorganization, it can still firmly occupy the position of the first group in the country, but if it continues to develop according to this situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the Korean army, which has a strong revenge mentality and has a home advantage.

Ideally, it's just a second royal family.

Lin Mu knows that the road ahead is difficult and he must think about change.

It may be a while before we meet the South Korean team, but for the team itself, it is already imminent and urgent.

LPL Group 1?

If someone is satisfied with this level, then it will inevitably become the second Guodian.

No one knows better than Lin Mu that if he can't even look down on the common people in China and lead the way, he won't have the capital to compete with Samsung at all.

It is precisely because of this that after returning to the club, Lin Mu immediately gathered the whole team and made an important decision.

Three days later, IEM9 was started by Xiao Qi!

"So it's the starter? I thought I'd rotate with Shanhe for a while. Qin Yitian looked surprised, she didn't expect that Lin Mu, who had been tough for so long, would suddenly compromise.

"Don't get too happy, don't you want to get back on the field? Then prove it in this competition and see if the team has to be yours. In the face of Qin Yitian, who was almost uncontrollable to throw himself into his arms, Lin Mu always maintained a cold face, at this moment, he and the other party were simple coaches and players, or a pure superior-subordinate relationship.

Make good use of good talents, and those who can live in them.

Although Lin Mu is not an excellent manager, he is by no means the king of Zhou You, who is the prince of the Beacon Fire Opera.

"Who is our opponent?" Qin Yitian calmed down.

At this time, Lin Mu handed over a schedule.
