Chapter 32: The Sprint

The fourth week of the game is officially over, and the trend of this week's game is very weird, first of all, the WT team defeated the powerful IG team 2-0, but compared to last week's complete victory over the OMG team, this is not an upset, but the WT team still doesn't understand why the opponent who lost when shaking hands doesn't seem to care.

Those giants naturally don't care about the wins and losses of a game, what they care about is what kind of direction they can find for their team in the loss of this game.

This week, WT defeated IG 2-0, WE drew 1-1 with EDG, OMG won LGD 2-0, and TBK drew 1-1 with Royalty.

In this way, there is another change in the points, WT team has two points and is currently six points, WE team is five points, EDG team is five points, OMG team is five points, IG team is four points, royal team is four points, TBK team is two points, and LGD team is one point.

The WT team jumped to the top of the standings because of a sudden wave of two consecutive wins, which directly caused an uproar in the professional league, since the establishment of the professional league, no rookie team has had such a strong sprint posture, and it is estimated that only the OMG team of the year can give people such a bright opportunity.

The first round of the professional competition has passed halfway, and there are still three players left in the eight teams to play, and the next three opponents of the WT team are the royal team, the TBK team and the LGD team at the bottom. That is, the points winner of the first round of the spring tournament is likely to be the new WT team, and the WT club has increased its publicity efforts, and the WT team has received several interview invitations in a row as soon as they came out of the competition room.

For this rocket-like rise speed, many fans are willing to pay more attention to them, and even many people have begun to see them as the hope of China's LOL e-sports, but the WT team is happy, but it is still as low-key and humble as ever in front of the camera, and it is said that being able to temporarily rank first is the acceptance of the predecessor team, without a little pride and frivolity, in fact, both Lan Yu and Chen Chuxiao are very proud people in their bones, and now their records are indeed very proud.

But they vaguely feel that the professional game is not so simple, and the advantage in the early stage can only be said to give them a good start, but the sprint period of professional players is generally in the second round, the first round has to adapt to a variety of new ways of play, learn a variety of new ways of play, and the WT team has gradually learned that it has become their research object.

So you can't be crazy, once you are crazy, the mentality will be chaotic, so the core idea of the team will definitely be affected, the WT team often reminds each other of this, so it is still great in terms of mentality, in contrast, the life of the TBK team is not so good, halfway through the first round, the TBK team only got two draws, and there are IG, WT team and LGD team to play in the next game.

The LGD team was not in a good state in the first round, and they could only silently become the bottom in the face of the first group's points, but it doesn't mean that they won't sprint in the second round, and TBK doesn't have any advantage in the face of the LGD team.

In the interview, WT teams were repeatedly asked about how many unbeaten records they have held, because a lot of people are paying attention to this issue right now, and there are also many people speculating about which team will break their unbeaten streak, and WT teams have basically the same answer: anyone can possibly.

The WT team returned to H City, this time it was welcomed by many fans, and it was also deliberately organized by the WT club, wanting to surprise a few hard-working players, Lan Yu saw a lot of familiar faces at the airport, many students from University B, and those students who were very close to Lan Lie when they played here.

The club has prepared a lot of promotional photos and small peripheral gifts for these fans, and several people have also been surrounded by a lot of signatures, and the professional league points are the first, which has far exceeded the expectations of the earliest people when they sent the WT team to the professional league, and also gave H City a lot of confidence, at least now H City's various e-sports activities in the second year have begun to prepare, and the attention received even exceeds last year.

Last year, there was a WT team in H City, and now it is famous all over the country, I don't know if another team can be born in this soil that can compete in the professional league, this time back, the WT team also took another very important activity, that is, the previous B University's electoral election course, Lan Yu has not started classes for a long time, under the strong request of the school, Lan Yu promised to bring all the team members to attend this time.

This can be regarded as a kind of feedback, after all, several people are still students in school, and they usually go back to school to live.

Lan Yu focused on the skills of the line, and because all five team members participated, he explained the issues that need to be paid attention to in the line from the perspective of different players, fortunately, several people did not have much restraint in the face of their classmates, and even some teams from other schools who heard the news also rushed to learn from them, and it is rare to be able to listen to the lectures of professional players so closely.

Although the training task is very heavy, the WT team still faced this e-election revision course very seriously, and the things explained were very detailed, and even took out some videos of professional matches for comparison, and explained some of the operations of those great opponents in great detail, and then re-realized some new things from it.

There's only so much to understand in a game, which is why professional teams have to do a review and rewatch the game video over and over again to learn and research.

The class exceeded previous expectations, and the originally expected two-hour class was extended for more than an hour after Lan Yu added a live questioning session, until finally the school was a little overwhelmed and forced to end the class and let the members of the WT team go back to rest.

Although he was really tired this time, including Mu Huan, who has always been taciturn, had a long interaction with the classmates who asked questions on the stage, which shows that he was in a very good mood.

This week's game will face the last strong opponent in theory, the royal team's start to this season is average, not as strong as last season, the two Korean players in the team have improved the strength and rhythm of the line to a certain extent, after all, the team's jungler was once known as the world's No. 1 jungler, and in the face of this team, the WT team is also bottomless.

But fortunately, as long as they survive this team, the WT team will face two relatively weak teams, and the first round is expected to end with a very good result.

As for the second round of everyone's sprint, the WT team will have enough points to face the counterattack of the strong team, at least the WT team feels that relegation is not a big problem, the question is whether they can rush to the top four after two rounds, and then compete for a place in the qualifiers of the next S-class World Finals in China in the playoffs.

Lan Yu hasn't slept for two days in a row, which is a bit exaggerated, but basically in the past two days, he just lay down and slept for a while before waking up because of nervousness and irritability, not wanting to wake up Mu Huan in the same bedroom, Lan Yu slowly climbed out of bed and sat down in front of the desk under the bed and turned on the lamp with a little dim light.

In addition to computers and mobile phones, Lan Yu fiddles with the most every day is the notebook given to her by Chen Chuxiao, which is densely filled with some experiences in the game, and then compares the video after coming back to sort out the experience and share it with his teammates, Lan Yu feels more and more tired, in addition to constantly playing single row in the national service and American Hanbok to improve his personal strength, he also has to take a lot of time to study the video learning of other teams, although Ye Qing helps, but Ye Qing is now the leader of the club, There are a lot of jobs that only she can handle, and it is impossible to accompany Lan Yu to study tactics all the time.

Lan Yu has always felt that his team is too smooth in the professional league, so smooth that he can't really see the suppressive power of those super strong teams in two consecutive games, which makes him vaguely feel a little bottomless, just like the second game of the first two consecutive draws against the EDG team and the WE team, the strength of the professional players makes him a little unbelievable, as for the third week, the OMG team is because they are not in good shape, giving the WT team a chance, and last week's game with the IG team, it feels like the opponent is entertainment, Not serious at all.

The first round was just a test take, and in the second week, they will definitely go all out to sprint for the spring playoffs without sparing, will WT still be able to maintain such an impressive record at that time? Or was he crushed directly to his feet by the super team because of lack of preparation?

Every time he thought of this, Lan Yu felt a little irritable, threw the pen in his hand on the notebook, Lan Yu leaned on the computer chair and sighed heavily, in fact, he really wanted to talk to his teammates about this problem, but now that the morale is high, it is estimated that his teammates will also feel that they are thinking too much, rather than this, it is better to prepare in advance.

The sound of throwing a pen woke Mu Huan up, Mu Huan stretched his head off the bed in a daze, looked at the halo over there and muttered: "What time is it and you haven't slept yet, you have to be stupid if you think about tactics." ”

Lan Yu laughed silently and said, "Sleep right away, you sleep." ”

Mu Huan estimated that he was too sleepy, and muttered a few words vaguely, turned over and continued to sleep, while Lan Yu picked up the pen and continued to think about tactics in his head.

The main reason why the WT team can maintain such a strong state is that their style of play has been changing, so far the commentators and viewers of the professional league have not summed up the real style and characteristics of the WT team, they are sometimes very aggressive, sometimes they are very stable, and sometimes they will suddenly burst out to get a lot of advantages and then go back to the old road of development with peace of mind, and the lineup basically has no real dependence, can play anything, which is also a headache for other strong teams.

But Lan Yu himself knows that there are fewer and fewer tactics that can be used, professional games are not like passers-by, basically you can play anything, and those who can play are at least what they are good at, and although there are several people in the WT team, although the hero pool is very deep, how many can really be equal to professional players? This is also why every time a new hero's single-line play is developed on the Hanbok side, all the teams are learning the same, because there are only a few heroes available to fight around, and in the end, the competition still depends on the strength of the individual.

Lan Yu has always felt that it is better to be able to play against the opponent in the lineup as a whole than to be tired and tired to improve his personal strength, although personal strength is still very important, but LOL is like playing basketball, everyone's division of labor is different, and the blue-collar team can also pull the defending champion off the horse, relying on basic skills and cooperation.

This is the direction that Lan Yu has been looking for and moving forward.
