The third week of the Pro League has officially come to an end, and the week has been a week where most of the top teams have had some minor surprises and are no longer as smooth sailing as the first two weeks of the tournament.

First of all, the WT team defeated the big brother OMG team 2-0 and scored two points, and the standings rose directly to four points to overtake the OMG team, and the TBK team was upset and drew 1-1 with the WE team, and finally achieved the first point since the start of the league, the IG team drew 1-1 with the EDG team, and the LGD team also drew with the royal team.

In this way, in the standings, WT has four points, OMG has three points, WE has four points, Royale has three points, IG and EDG have four points each, and LGD and TBK have one point each.

The WT team jumped from the second group to the first group all of a sudden, tied for first place with the WE team, IG team and EDG team, and the relationship between wins and losses is the same, so there is no distinction between priority and priority, unless it is to reach the knockout stage will consider the head relationship in a few games, otherwise now several teams are tied for the first place.

This kind of start immediately made all public opinion focus on the WT team, and even many people called it a dark horse team, and the devilish schedule of the opening did not let the WT team sink directly, but with a tenacious will, first a consecutive draw, and then a complete victory over the opponent to improve the points.

As long as the WT team maintains this momentum, it is very likely to succeed in relegation, although many strong teams do not know much about the WT team in the first round, resulting in a draw or defeat, but by the second round, the WT team will also understand these teams more and more, and slowly adapt to the rhythm of the game.

From the start of the tournament to the present, judging from the game that has just ended, the WT team has not stuck to the existing habitual model, but has always maintained innovation, Sun Yi's "E-sports Weekly" also mentioned the word innovation in this week's topic, the domestic professional league is basically a tactical idea, and it is often seen that the two sides start with the same position, although this represents the proximity of everyone's strength, but it also proves that this is close in China.

Teams all over the world are studying and learning from South Korea's professional teams, because they are always developing new tactical play styles and heroes, including the now popular one-line Lulu is passed over there and then swept the world, unless there is a pure talent team in this generation in China, which can use personal strength to completely crush the world's professional players, otherwise if you want to win the world championship, you must innovate.

They see a little bit of innovation in the new tactics of the WT team, and they hope to continue to see WT or other teams play this kind of unexpected game, hoping that more underdog heroes will be developed and spread to the world.

Everyone hopes that their server can become the birthplace for the world to emulate, and also wants to break South Korea's monopoly on League of Legends, but the WT team's very ordinary weekly game suddenly became the fuse, detonating the whole topic of innovation, and the heads of several professional teams also lamented on Weibo that the national service needs this kind of innovation too much, even if it will be defeated by the WT team, but for the sake of the overall click results, I also hope that this change will not stagnate.

Several members of the WT team basically don't play Weibo, so these news are also conveyed to them by the club's staff, which is a bit stressful, but there is also a sense of joy, at least they have gone from not being favored to being expected highly, only three weeks.

The WT team will face another veteran team next week, the IG team, this team is very strong in terms of background and configuration, and now it has also introduced South Korea's top list, which is slowly integrating with the whole team, as a new generation of WT teams, it has not yet carried so many high expectations, like the old team WE team and IG team basically carved up all the fans of the League of Legends in China back then, and it was not until the rise of the OMG team and the royal team that it gradually balanced.

As a veteran team of that generation, they know that they owe a lot of championships to those enthusiastic fans, in fact, it can't be said that they owe, after all, esports has wins and losses, but they themselves very much hope to win a real world No. 1 trophy for their country and their fans.

So Lan Yu and they respect these veteran teams very much, knowing how many dreams and how much infamy they carry all the way to the present, when they play well, everyone will praise you, using up the most beautiful words in the world, and when they play badly, many people have become dirty trolls again, and the domestic e-sports environment is so unbearable, but they silently resist the pressure, and say over and over again that they are holding high the banner of anti-South Korea.

So the WT team respects them, before they formed a team, these boys and girls were just ordinary players who silently played games and then watched their videos to grow up, and they also cried and laughed together, especially in the World All-Star Game held in China a few years ago, when the Chinese team passed the test with an extremely strong attitude all the way but finally lost to the South Korean team, many people on the scene cried silently, and there were also many people silently crying in front of the computer. After a short period of downturn and sinking, these "old men" who refused to admit defeat once again desperately broke through themselves, so that the domestic e-sports level caught up with South Korea step by step.

Although they are now professional players, as newcomers, they still retain that passion and impulse, and when they shake hands with these once admired idols and even make moves, they can't help but silently cheer for them in their hearts.

The progress of Chinese e-sports needs fresh blood like the WT team, and more importantly, the encouragement and drive of those veteran players who have been fighting for their entire careers.

This week, the WT team received a very large number of interview invitations, even more than the opening match, after all, the victory over the old-timers, and such a big public opinion, the WT team has been pushed to a very high level, and at the same time, the WT team has received a very strange interview invitation, this invitation from North America, from the North American LCS organizer media.

Lan Yu hurriedly checked the mailbox that he hadn't opened for more than a week, and found five emails sent to him by Hai, the captain of the C9 team, in a row, because Hai and the TSM team both mentioned the WT team from the other side of the ocean to varying degrees, so it also aroused the interest of the North American media, after all, before this, there was almost no communication between the two sides, and even if there was attention, it was from the independent communication between the professional teams, and both C9 and TSM showed a very friendly attitude towards the WT team. This aroused their great interest.

Originally, this interview was invited by Hai, but because Lan Yu was sick first, and then he was busy preparing for the match with the OMG team, he couldn't get in touch, and he could only contact the WT team's club through various relationships, and the interview was very simple, just some questions, and the WT team only needed to reply by email.

There are a total of eight questions, which are very carefully prepared, respectively, how do WT teams view the current tactical characteristics of TSM, C9 and LCS leagues, plus their views on several strong domestic teams, the last question Lan Yu likes very much, asking that South Korea's professional players are basically the first in the world, while the Chinese team often wins the second in the world, and I want to ask Lan Yu when China can become the world's first.

This semi-ridiculous question made Lan Yu answer very seriously, because this interview was about the WT team itself and had nothing to do with the club, so Lan Yu and his teammates answered it together, and he chose to answer the last question alone.

"No one will like the title of second, there is a saying in China that the winner is king, the loser is the loser, the second is good, the twelfth is not, in my opinion are all losers, the Chinese team can only be said to be extremely tenacious perseverance and dedication to the dream of pushing Chinese e-sports forward, but it does not mean that we or those who have retired seniors are satisfied with the second ranking."

"I respect and appreciate the Korean pros, such as Madlife, Ambition, etc., and I also care a lot about their operation and personal strength, I feel that for a long time, I personally will not be able to catch up with their operation and overall vision and command ability, but that does not mean that I will be willing to admit that I will not have the opportunity to surpass them or lead our team beyond theirs in my life."

"E-sports has been inherited for many years, I think the most important thing is that I never admit defeat, there are highs and lows, there are dazzling and bleak, I think China's LOL e-sports is on the verge of rising, just need an opportunity, we can stand on the top of the world, and I believe that although the performance in North America in the S-level World Finals in recent years has not been good, there are also a group of players who also do not give up and are working hard, and the heart of winning will never die, I hope we will encourage each other."

After Lan Yu's question was posted, he got a reply from the media there in just half a day, and the reply was very simple, with only one line of words: "Ideal is the spiritual food of idealists, may you and I finally get what we want." ”

Although the reply was very simple, but then C9's Hai also sent an email to Lan Yu, and talked a lot with him about his answer, to a certain extent, both of them are idealists, and the most difficult thing about ideals is not that they are difficult to achieve, but that they will be ridiculed by countless people, and Lan Yu tells Hai that there is no need to work hard for the dream of not being ridiculed.

However, although Lan Yu's interview caused a lot of discussion in North America, it basically did not return to China, after all, there are still a few domestic e-sports players who pay attention to it, but I believe that if the WT team really has the day to realize its dream, this report will definitely be turned out again.

In addition to being busy with interviews this week, the WT team is trying to find time to train and prepare tactics, the victory of the previous week does not mean anything, it can only be said that the WT team has adapted to the rhythm of the professional game, and the professional game has won and lost, so far the WT team has remained undefeated, and there are IG and the royal family behind the two absolutely strong teams with Korean players in the team to test themselves, the WT team does not dare to slack off, now there is basically no need to urge, everyone has time is busy training, Even in class, in addition to taking notes, the rest of the time is spent thinking about the lineup in the game.

Lan Yu is now much smarter than before, no longer taking everything on his body, but through unremitting efforts, his teammates are gradually used to participating in discussions, so that although there are sometimes some controversies, these discussions have slowly become a new tactics and playing style of the WT team, Lan Yu knows that his energy and imagination are limited, and the brainstorming of several people will spread each other's imagination exponentially, plus Ye Qing, a tactical analyst, So all kinds of bizarre ideas for WT teams have jumped out of their minds.
