Chapter 1 Tactical Reserves
This year's World Finals has received more attention than in previous years, and the three teams in the Chinese region are on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also an increasingly suppressed desire to "resist South Korea".
The survival of the domestic team of League of Legends is no better than other popular e-sports games such as Dota 2, the proud record of the Chinese team in Dota 2 has envied countless LOL players, and at the level of League of Legends e-sports, the national service has always been pressed by South Korea, just like the Chinese football of the year, although the runner-up is also a good result, but the players of that era are basically all retired.
The veteran gods who have led countless players into this game have all changed careers to do commentary or simply disappeared, but there are still some veteran players who support themselves on the front line, working hard to realize this dream, such as the three teams that entered the World Finals this time, the OMG team is almost all the players who participated in the World Finals before, and the age of the team members is also a little older, but it is still the year of playing, and the two core characters of the EDG team, the jungler and the auxiliary, are the veteran members of the previous WE team when they were at their most prosperous, Carry the glory of the IPL5 World Finals champion.
There is only the World Finals, which is difficult to let go, especially the OMG team is almost crazy in the training match against the WT team these days, the rhythm style changes almost every game, the WT team simulates the playing style of other teams in Group A, but it is still difficult to bear the fire of the OMG team, and six out of ten sets are lost, but they can also win some through the strong tacit understanding of their own team.
The OMG team is very hard, and the EDG team is not the same, since coming to H City for recreation and tourism, the EDG team and the OMG and WT teams have also established a relationship with training partners, practicing with each other every morning and afternoon, and even occasionally making an appointment to come together for an entertainment game before resting at night.
Although these training matches are mainly to improve the confrontation, but it is also a good opportunity for the three teams to continue to reserve their own team tactics, although everyone is a hidden opponent, but they really do not hide each other's secrets, not only go all out, but also log in to the voice software after each training match to discuss together, and they have gained a lot from each other, no matter what the final ranking of the three teams in the World Finals is, but the strength of the team will definitely improve a great level.
Each other is the top team in the national server now, and in the case of full strength and comprehensive analysis, it is difficult not to improve, and the three teams do not have a fixed coach, most of the tactical research and analysis are from the players or captains, and this kind of communication can be better integrated into the team in the way that the players like the most.
In the period leading up to the World Finals, everyone felt that their improvement was obvious, and this improvement filled the hearts of everyone in the team.
From worrying about the pressure of the "death group" at the beginning to now looking forward to the early arrival of the World Finals, this change of mentality has also given their respective clubs a lot of hope.
The three teams hardly read the comments from the outside world, some professional players have social accounts such as Weibo, and occasionally post some things about the training of the three teams, and the official account of the WT team will also broadcast the preparation progress of the WT team to fans in real time every day, including photos of some players at the club, etc.
The training room of the WT team is the most luxurious professional team in China, in order to allow everyone to have a good training environment, the club has spent a lot of thought in this regard, the training room of the general club is basically like home, everyone can dress casually on the sofa or recliner to watch the video and chat, but the training room of the WT team has a very tense atmosphere.
Including Chen Chuxiao's proposal to place a huge electronic countdown board in front of the direction of the training of the five people, with the words "XX days until the World Finals" written on it, it is very similar to the style of the college entrance examination sprint back then, it was just a joke at the time, but when a few people sat on the chair and looked at the fiery red numbers beating in front of them, a sense of urgency unnaturally rose in their hearts, and this urge was really effective.
Recently, the WT team hasn't communicated much with the partner teams in North America, including Lan Yu, who only checks the email every day, and occasionally receives emails from Hai or Dyrus, which are basically greetings or asking what the snack was called when I came to H City last time.
Lan Yu replied one by one, so far, although he rushed into the world finals as he wished, Lan Yu still has regrets, the biggest regret is to compete with the TSM team in the same group, thinking about the time when the WT team was training in the United States, he met the TSM team who collectively opened a small trumpet, and later received a lot of help and support from the other side, including the offseason before the WT team decided to enter the professional league, it was the TSM team that worked tirelessly to help the WT team train, That's why WT will be able to surprise everyone when it officially enters the professional league.
Although the TSM team said to Lan Yu that had a deep impact on the WT team, "If you can play, you can shout, if you can't play, you can laugh", but the WT team still wants to be in Group B and TSM team to join hands to qualify, for several years, since the captain of the orangutan is still playing in the team, TSM has not entered the quarterfinals, although the nature is optimistic, but competition is an environment where the winner is king, no matter how popular you are, no matter how high the enthusiasm, there is no point in no results.
Of course, it would be best if they could give the TSM team a ride without delaying their team's advancement, but it was difficult, the WT team had almost no idea about the on-the-spot performance ability of the European team and the Korean team except for the two top teams in North America, so now when studying tactics, Lan Yu went the opposite way, picked some SGB teams in his own group to win beautiful games, and then imitated the lineup of the suppressed team opposite, and thought about the mainstream line thinking of Korean professional teams.
After sharing this idea with the OMG team and the EDG team, it was also unanimously praised, many people only pay attention to how the strong team wins, but rarely pay attention to how the weak team loses, although this change of thinking has added a lot of homework to the three teams, but it has also opened up a lot of ideas.
Wang Zhiguo, director of the E-sports Division of H City, recently came to the WT Club, because he was an old friend, he didn't put on any shelf, and chatted casually As the date of the World Finals approached, there were many foreign friends near the H City E-sports Stadium, and it was estimated that they all came to inspect the location in advance, and by the way, it was like visiting the competition venue.
In this regard, the staff of the e-sports division formed a tour guide team, and also hired many students with good English proficiency from the campus to be tour guides, introducing the composition of the e-sports hall to these foreign friends, and also printing and distributing countless detailed maps of the English route, including the surrounding snack hotels and the time sequence of the game, etc., which is very well done.
There is another more important thing for Wang Zhiguo to come over this time, that is, on the day of the finals, according to the customs of China, a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony is going to be held, which can be regarded as a celebration of the rebirth of the new venue.
The three boys collectively turned their heads to look at the two beauties, whenever this kind of occasion, there is always nothing wrong with dispatching two beauties, the WT team can have today's influence, in addition to the identity of the dark horse, the gimmick of the "beautiful player" in the team has never cooled down, and this is a real beauty, the kind that never gets tired of watching.
Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, so they nodded and agreed, this ribbon-cutting action was also added later, there should not be this kind of activity, but the national situation is like this.
The WT team went to the venue a few days ago to take a look, the final project has been fully completed, there was no broadcast station and commentary station before, and now a special commentary station has been prepared for the commentators sent by various countries, both before and after, but the Chinese commentary will be next to the commentary table player competition room throughout the whole process, which can be regarded as enjoying a little special treatment, after all, it is the home field.
The innovation of the H City E-sports Stadium has won unanimous praise from foreign e-sports media, but it is understandable to think of the level of China's hosting of various large-scale events, both players and clubs, for China's sincerity in the World Finals, and there is a faint hope that the game after the quarterfinals will also be held in H City......
However, the Staples Arena in Los Angeles is an internationally renowned stadium after all, and the setting will only be better than here, but the signal is not easy to say......
Fortunately, this time the two countries jointly organized, and domestic experts also rushed over there to review and put forward some opinions to ensure that there would be no infinite short-term reconnection, so that professional players, especially domestic professional players, can always persist until the end of the game in one go.
The three domestic teams have stopped training together a few days before the World Finals opened, and turned into a single training for professional players, plus they have to digest and absorb what they have learned these days, and adjust their work and rest time to maintain their mental state to the greatest extent, hoping to give a perfect answer to domestic fans who have been supporting League of Legends e-sports at their own door.
The same is true for the WT team, these days everyone is single and double row or resting, Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan went to the mall to sweep around, many things are not necessary, but unlike boys, the way for girls to reduce stress is to buy things wildly.
And for the first time, several boys did not complain about how tired they were from shopping with their girlfriends, but always followed behind with a smile and a bag.
There are group activities and couples go out alone, after nightfall, Chen Chuxiao and Lan Yu returned to school, there are many beautiful places in H City at night, but the two of them still like to hang out on the campus with the fragrance of autumn chrysanthemum, the two of them hold hands, Chen Chuxiao gently snuggled on Lan Yu's shoulder, the lights at night are dim, almost no one recognizes them, rare quiet and satisfied.
"When I first formed the team, I thought that I could go around and participate in a little competition to win some prize money, and then save up and wait for college graduation to travel the world, and I never thought that one day I would be able to represent H City or even the country in the World Finals." Chen Chuxiao said faintly, with a hint of confusion and excitement in his tone, he was able to turn from a grassroots team to a star in the world in more than a year, and I still can't believe it when I think about it.
Lan Yu smiled, didn't he have this idea, lowered his head and kissed Chen Chuxiao's hair gently, and said in a low voice: "I still remember when I pursued you, you ignored me at all, and said that if you won the world championship, you would take me on a trip around the world, remember?" ”
Chen Chuxiao smiled, of course she remembered, and even remembered every word she said at the time, maybe it was just a refusal that she didn't know how to face Lan Yu, but no one thought that the WT team named after her dream of traveling around the world would really be able to get to where it is today.
"We've won a lot of money too." Lan Yu said suddenly.
The WT team has played Internet café tournaments, campus tournaments, city championships, city tournaments, and professional leagues, and they have all ranked well along the way, and the prize money is naturally quite generous.
"Now let's go win the one with the highest payout." Chen Chuxiao's beautiful eyes bent into crescent moons.
