Chapter 59: The Boom
The WT team took out more enthusiasm than the regular season time to train in the offseason, and officially entered the five-person hanbok team platoon training at half past eight in the morning every morning, and there are many high-scoring passers-by in the hanbok, because the e-sports environment is the first in the world, and a lot of semi-professional small teams have also been formed, and the WT team can feel a lot of teams that are no less than professional players in the five-row high score of the hanbok.
This kind of pressure from the opponent has undoubtedly given the WT team a lot of motivation and enthusiasm, whether it is a large-scale sports event such as football or now e-sports, China and South Korea have a long history of confrontation, especially in recent years, China's LOL professional team has frequently succumbed to the runner-up, which has also made the domestic call for anti-South Korea higher and higher.
Although the WT team has a relatively normal mentality, it will inadvertently show a different kind of seriousness when training in Hanbok, and every time it defeats an opponent, it will make itself strangely happy, even if the opponent is not a real professional team, the ID of the WT team in Hanbok is also directly hung with the name of WT Club, so this team that topped the domestic standings with an absolute dark horse attitude in the first round of the spring tournament quickly attracted the attention of Korean e-sports.
In addition to the five-row training, the five people have not fallen in the single and double rows of the hanbok, basically they are all diamond level 1, Mu Huan is the strongest king of the Hanbok who has hit twice in a row, but the actors are everywhere, and it is also a very regrettable defeat, now it seems that the first to reach the strongest king of Hanbok should be Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan, the two have been gradually scoring with a very steady and tacit cooperation, and the high-level players are relatively rare, and the IDs of the two people are gradually familiar to some high-scoring passers-by players in Hanbok, Whenever two people communicate with Korean players in English on the public screen, everyone will take the initiative to give up their positions, and many Korean players who know the two of them will also be responsible for explaining to other teammates in Korean.
And when South Korea's e-sports media reported in depth, countless players knew that these two high-win low-lane combinations were a pair of super beauties, which made Korean players even more crazy, in just a few days, Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan's friend addition application has broken the table, Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan are also not refusing to add, these players use relatively broken English and the two girls set almost, some of the two will simply reply, and some will ignore it directly.
As for the other three boys, although they occasionally add friends, they are basically ignored, but the three of them have long been used to it......
There are many Chinese students in the Korean e-sports forum who are responsible for carrying and translating some interviews with the WT team in China, this craze is first triggered by the Korean e-sports media, and then completed by the Chinese people in South Korea through guidance, and the main reason is that the image of the two girls is too pleasing, and the WT team is gradually becoming well-known in South Korea, especially many domestic media like to exaggerate the WT team as a rookie against the Korean team, this argument will naturally attract the attention of Korean players.
After all, the main task of the WT team in the offseason is to improve the depth on the basis of the existing lineup, and some attempts to create a new lineup are likely to become the enemy's intelligence, and more importantly, it is likely to become the intelligence of the domestic rival team.
The WT team had to practice with the TSM team for a period of time after the offseason, and at the same time, they deeply imitated the playing style of the C9 team, and completely learned the idea of "node target" tactics, which also improved Lan Yu's command style a lot.
In general, the WT team is still satisfied with the results achieved in the offseason, and wanted to make another training appointment with C9, but the LCS professional league in North America started earlier than in China, and the WT team was not easy to disturb them, only Lan Yu and Hai had some simple exchanges, mainly to discuss the playing style of Hanbok, and Hai also felt more and more that it was very correct to become a training match partner with the WT team, because Lan Yu did a very good job of sharing intelligence, There is basically nothing to hide.
In the general environment, South Korea is now the king of LOL, even if there is more unwillingness and dissatisfaction, I have to admit this, so Lan Yu has always thought that instead of narrowly holding hatred, it is better to be more open by all the strong teams to put the Korean team on the operating table to cut and analyze together, different people have different angles to see the game, everyone's views are together, and the Korean team is not so mysterious and invincible.
This point has at least been recognized by the North American hegemon C9 team, and the relationship between the WT team and the domestic professional team is not so close, plus the relationship between competitors, so many things cannot be discussed openly and honestly with the domestic team for the time being, but I believe that there will be a day when the domestic e-sports environment can be more open and transparent.
Lan Yu is actually a perfectionist, always feel that since he has devoted himself to this industry, he should bring positive things, compared to the hot discussion of China's LOL when will be able to win a sufficient amount of world champions, he is more concerned about when China's e-sports environment can be as open and transparent as foreign countries, don't always limit your eyes to internal battles, once China's e-sports is fully open, then it will bring about the improvement of overall strength, Only the overall improvement rather than the exceptionally strong team will give the Chinese team a chance to replace South Korea as the new hegemon of the world, otherwise it will only be a flash in the pan.
Lan Yu doesn't dare to say that he is a pioneer in this area, and many strong teams have already begun to do this, such as the WE team that introduces Korean coaches and Korean players, and the royal team and IG team that directly introduce top Korean players, these are all manifestations of change, but the burden of traditional strong teams is heavier, and the WT team, a dark horse that is lightly armed, does not have so much pressure.
The WT team's five-row training in Hanbok suddenly stopped, which also made many people who stared at them all day preparing for the OB perspective a little disappointed, but the single and double rows of the WT team are still sporadically continuing, and now the second round of the game time is getting closer and closer. Basically, they are selected according to the lineup and routines of C9, and the system they are good at is basically not taken, while the TSM team has lost a lot, but it has a lot of inspiration for breakthroughs, and the WT team benefits from imitating the system of the C9 team, and it is more stable online, a win-win ending.
The long-awaited second round of the professional league is finally about to start, the WT team has no systematic training in the last two days, and the players play a dozen solo games or two-on-two, Lan Yu and Ye Qing, who has finally had a little time recently, chatted about the tactical direction of the team, and has also been greatly recognized by Ye Qing, you must know that it is not easy, although the relationship between Lan Yu and Ye Qing is good, but there are always various conflicts in tactical ideas, and now they can reach an agreement so easily, It shows that Lan Yu is also more mature now.
The first round opponent of the WT team will be the IG team that was only second by one point in the previous round, and the official website of the game also played the topic of the showdown between the old and the new, although the IG team lost to the WT team 0-2 in the first round, but it did not score less points on other teams, and the run-in between the Korean top laner and the players in the team is becoming more and more stable.
A team with two foreign aids, like Team WE and Team Royal, is not as fast as a team like Team IG that only invites one foreign aid, because a foreign player must adapt to the overall style of play of the team, while two players with no problem communicating and similar ideas will play their own system, and their teammates will either forcibly change it or become the same way of play.
Like the royal team, the team has the world's top support and jungler, and there are also the top ADC in the country, maybe everyone is in the same mood in the early stage so there is no problem, but as time goes by, this difference in the bones will slowly affect the team, which is also the reason for the poor performance of the royal team in the first round, they have absolutely strong strength, and they are also trying their best to solve this problem in the offseason.
The day before the start of the competition, all the WT team set off in full gear and had already reported to the organizer, because Lan Yu was not accustomed to the situation first, and the WT team's request to arrange a hotel in advance was also agreed by the organizer, and the WT team was ready to use this day to relax and avoid all kinds of accidents.
For the IG team in the first week of the second round, the WT team is actually very vigilant, arrived at the hotel of the competition venue in advance, and the WT team also accepted some media interviews, when mentioning the IG team, the WT team members showed respect without pretense, these professional strong teams have borne the great expectations of domestic fans in the past few years, and they have not collapsed under this pressure but are carrying the pressure step by step. No matter whether they are in the professional team now, the WT team will not show the slightest disrespect, which is not only a public relations attitude, but also the most basic bottom line in the hearts of the players.
When it comes to the first round of the IG team in the face of the loss of the WT team, the WT team also thinks that the IG team wants to test the strength of the WT team as always, and the only team that dares to put the WT team Akali harvesting system is the IG team, and the WT team has no doubt to win, but it also exposes the best side.
When they met again, the WT team said that the IG team will definitely have a lot of wonderful changes, which may cause a lot of trouble to the WT team, but it will be a great honor to see the team that once represented itself in the world become stronger.
The WT team also talked about other teams, and basically for each team's gains and losses in the first round, Lan Yu made a very accurate and sincere description, the video of these interviews caused a great response after the announcement, not only Lan Yu and Chen Chuxiao and others in front of the camera calmly attitude, but also as the league points first but willing to put their posture to the lowest to sincerely praise other teams, which basically captured the hearts of many people at once.
Many club managers of strong teams have said that WT teams are rare teams that can face other teams so sincerely in recent years, and their biggest advantage is not arrogant or impatient, even if they are competitors, WT teams have received a lot of blessings and recognition from competitors before this round of competition has started, which is even more important than letting them get a few more points.
The WT team also learned the feedback from the strong teams through the club, and they were also very pleased, they are still big children in school, and they have not completely gotten rid of childishness in their bones, this cheerful and relaxed atmosphere makes it easier for them to face the game without burden, and the opening match of the second round the next day finally started, and the WT team met the challenge from the IG team.
