KT, who returned to the lounge, seemed a little silent.

Looking at the players sitting in front of him thinking about something, Coach KT had a little headache.

What do you want to say?

There's no need to say it, almost no one makes mistakes in this one, it's just that team battles can't be beaten.

Even if the team battle is completed first, five to four still can't be beaten.

It's not a tactical problem or a player performance problem, and it's not something that can be easily solved.

It's like when you go to take the college entrance examination, you don't make any mistakes and arrive on time, and your performance is very stable.

But you usually only have one cut-off, and this time there is naturally only one.

In the face of a Qingbei-level team like UR, it is natural that it can't be beaten.

"We need to fight hard."

This is a point that KT coaches are deeply aware of.

If you want to win UR, it's impossible to rely on the kind of play you usually have, and you can't beat team battles at all.

Only when the sword goes off the rails and finds ways to strengthen one's team battle ability from other aspects can one have a chance to win the game.

The gap is definite.

As KT, what they have to do is not to ignore the gap, but to find a way to break through from other aspects.

Because it's too difficult to improve in a short period of time, you want to break through after a fight?

Do you really think of yourself as a hot-blooded man?

KT wasn't so arrogant.

"So, how can we win?"

Coach KT was lost in thought.

Is there a weakness in UR?

Since the team battle is so fierce, then don't think about the team fight.

The problem is that in addition to team battles, UR is also fierce with a single belt!

Sitting on the world's top middle and upper, whether it is Xu Xiu or Xu Ruoguang, they are both good players with lines, and it is unrealistic to die with UR from beginning to end.

It's also unrealistic to want a scoring band.

So......

Four guarantees one?

Coach KT was taken aback by his own idea, and then smiled wryly.

How is that possible......

Let's not mention that UR can also play four guarantees and one, pray is already very old, and it is impossible to play better than viper in the AD position, isn't the threat given by that Kasumi enough?

The break was so short that the KT coach just made a simple tactical set-up.

KT, which came to the stage again, looked a little confused.

Although they haven't given up yet, UR's strength is so comprehensive that they can't find a breakthrough in a short period of time.

However, it also seems to be some good news for KT.

Because of this, UR didn't know why, so he replaced AD, who played very well, and replaced Park Do-hyun with Mr. Dai deft.

KT was in good spirits.

Compared with viper, who is about to enter his prime, in their eyes, the deft who was released by himself to chase his dream is undoubtedly less threatening.

Although it's a matter of letting go of deft to go out to chase dreams, it's not as good as before the deft play, so it's the reason why I put it.

Opportunity, appeared?

Sitting in the AD seat of UR, deft carefully plugged in the peripherals, held his headphones, and spoke.

"Can you hear me?"

"Ah, I can hear you."

Xu Ruoguang's somewhat brisk voice sounded, teasing and speaking.

"Deft, do you have any thoughts on your old club?"

Deft was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Ahh

"I want to win if I can."

It's not to prove anything, KT is honestly good to him, and it's not sorry for him.

He just wanted KT to see how he had grown since leaving KT.

"This will beat you around, are you confident?"

Kkoma spoke in a brisk tone.

After the last game, KT's specific strength has been clearly understood by kkoma, and it is clear that today's game has almost a 100% chance of winning, so it is natural to start wanting to practice as many lineups as possible.

If you don't practice the lineup in a tough battle, do you have to practice when you play in the group stage?

What effect can that have?

KKOMA has always been like this, and he will never let go if he has the opportunity.

Hearing that I was going to fight around myself, even if I had already thought about this possible deft, I was still a little nervous.

After all, it's the quarterfinals.

Eventually, though, he nodded slightly.

It's like saying it to yourself, and it's like saying it to your teammates.

"I can."

Tian Ye smiled and spoke.

"Hekyu, you can do it."

The recognition from his old partner made the tension on Deft's face dissipate a little.

He couldn't help but raise his head, look at the smiling teammate next to him, and nod slightly.

BP begins!

At this time, at the headquarters of Riot, several Riot version designers were frowning.

In front of them is this BO5.

"How can they be so fierce? Dennis, how did you do this version? ”

"Can I be blamed for this? Isn't Hero Balance done by you? Don't try to dump the pot at me. ”

"I'm doing the balance, but Pan Sen, who is too OP, can't let it out, and UR is not stupid, so he moved it directly."

"Can't you make a version of the meat tan order?"

"Now UR is obviously more than just a good order, right? It's not much use for the top order, but because Emporer has experience in team battles, those people can't beat him even more. ”

"You're right, so it must be the equipment designer's problem."

The equipment designer who was watching the play couldn't help but cry out,

"It's really unreasonable, bro, I've really tried my best, I was going to launch the Scarlet Blade, but you told me that I strengthened the dominance of the top laner too much, and I gave up, and now you have to blame me? I can't take it anymore. ”

Several designers blamed each other on the opposite side.

are all passing the buck.

It's kind of ugly.

But it really can't be helped, after all, if there is a very dominant team, the Worlds will be less enjoyable.

After all, you know that you can win without fighting, so is there any need to watch this game?

Especially for European and American audiences.

Is there really any need to watch the crumb competition where Asian teams fight each other at the beginning of the knockout tournament every year? 【Annoyance】

I don't feel involved at all.

The happiness is theirs, and we have nothing.

That's a fart game.

Even European and American teams don't have many teams that can make it to the quarterfinals, and they can't find a team that they want to support.

What can I do?

The problem is that most of the European and American players are also pendulums, and often after the new year, European and American audiences will know which ones will enter the world championships at a glance at this year's lineup.

Don't we in Europe and the United States really have any hope of winning?!

Are we really such garbage in Europe and the United States?

Absolutely not!

Europe and the United States don't know that the main reason why they can't beat is that the Asian team has too much training and the involution is too exaggerated.

Even if there is a gap in talent, it is impossible to have such an exaggerated gap, right?

But you get those European and American players to stick to the intensity of Asian athletes' training......

Believe it or not, the players sued you for abuse at the club?

Not to mention the twelve hours of training that lasts.

I have to cry my father and call my mother for eight hours a day.

Many European and American teams are too lazy to go to the base without training matches.

Playing five ranks a day is already too much diligence.

In this case, how can you train well?

But it's useless to know the reason, it's the hardest thing to do.

Because you can't make a change.

In a word, European and American teams are basically pendulums.

This will definitely not be beaten.

But want them to roll up?

Sorry, can't do it!

This is the biggest headache for the fist.

They are trying to make League of Legends more popular in Europe and the United States, and the problem is that one of the factors in popularity is the championship.

But how can you win the championship if you don't train?

So over the years, Riot has been trying its best to produce heroes, and the logic is very simple.

You can't win by playing old heroes Europe and the United States, and the amount of training is too bad.

But the new heroes, everyone should be able to force back to the same running line again, right?

That's how Parker was born.

Introducing a new hero system near the end of the World Championship doesn't give Asian teams much time, so as to reduce the gap as much as possible.

The problem is, the effect is really a bit, and G2's progress to the quarterfinals is proof of that.

But that's not enough!

A G2 alone belongs to a team created by Europe's burning efforts, and it is unrealistic to produce another G2.

How can Europe and the United States win?

The fist is already a little numb.

So at this time, several designers were already a little numb after seeing the strength of the UR.

It's too fierce.

It's obviously a version they made with their own hands, but UR is the upper limit that can hit the upper limit that designers can't think of, and G2 doesn't seem to be UR's opponent at all, which basically shows that Europe and the United States can't win the championship this year, after all, even if you win the quarterfinals, you still have to meet UR.

Isn't it impossible to beat it then?

That's why they are sad, because they know that it has been sent this year.

After so many years, it is not once or twice that he has tried to weaken Xu Ruoguang, but it is useless to weaken him every time.

Every time he targets Xu Ruoguang's heroes, he plays the best!

Who the fuck are you going to talk to?

This hangman is too fast to train heroes, and after training, there will be no decline in proficiency at all. You can imagine how difficult it is to target.

UR has a strong operation, and Riot has reduced the proportion of operation in the game as much as possible, but it is still not very useful.

Designers also have limits.

At least now a few Riot designers are a bit overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine next year."

At this moment, Ruiz, who was in a somewhat complicated mood with coffee, passed by, looked at them scratching their ears and cheeks, and opened his mouth lightly.

He has a very good relationship with Xu Ruoguang.

Although we have a version of Riot for you, that doesn't stop me from admiring you.

This is the relationship between Ruiz and Xu Ruoguang.

League of Legends is like his child, although it is a distress to have such a strong player, it also makes him very happy.

"Huh?"

The bald designer looked back, a little puzzled.

"Ruiz? ...... next year, you say? ”

"Well, you don't have to think about it so much next year, this year...... If they have the strength to take it, then they should take it. ”

Ruiz took a sip of coffee, looked a little distant, exhaled, and nodded.

The bald designer frowned.

What does Ruiz mean by that?

Will there be any difference between this year and next year?

To say something different......

Emporer's contract will come to an end, but what difference does that make?

At the end of his contract, there are bound to be other teams that are eager to catch up with Emporer.

It's impossible for a player of that level to find the next one.

No matter where you go, you will be greeted by the club.

In that case, it's actually the same in the end, isn't it?

Anyway, in the end, the club will still team up around Emporer.

The bald designer felt that even if his grandmother teamed up with Emporer. All of this team can make it to Worlds.

So, why does Ruiz say such things?

Wait a minute......

His puzzled eyes suddenly froze, and he looked at Ryze in confirmation, and made a lip shape.

Ruiz saw the shape of his mouth and nodded silently.

“…… Is that so? ”

The bald designer looked a little dazed.

If that's the case...... There's really no need to worry about it.

It's just that at this moment, he found that he was not as happy as he imagined.

If anything, Emporer will be resting or retiring next year.

But when he thought that a player like Emporer would make such a choice, he had a mixed look.

After all......

That's a legend of their League of Legends.

Emporer does make their teeth itch to hate sometimes, because there is really no way to target him, unless the top list position is deleted, otherwise it will only make them stronger.

But on the other hand, even as a designer, he admires such players very much.

Regardless of the version change, no matter what the change, he can adapt quickly, and it is also an honor for League of Legends to be such a hard-working and talented player.

So after suddenly getting the news, he was indeed a little unhappy.

Regardless of identity, in fact, the entire Riot Company is basically a real fan of Xu Ruoguang.

Pure iron powder.

They are the people who have seen Xu Ruoguang's rise with their own eyes and have come all the way to the present.

They are the ones who witnessed the birth of a legend with their own eyes.

How could you not like such a player?

Now that I think that such a player may leave the arena for a while, even if the future version changes a lot, but ......

I still feel a little uncomfortable.

At least as far as the bald designer himself is concerned, he does have a mood called "reluctance".

"I don't say much about this news, I naturally understand it, everyone is strict, and I'll talk about it after the World Championship is over."

Ruiz also sorted out his emotions and sighed.

"I tried to persuade him, but he was still very firm and wanted to take a break."

"This World Championship, if he really has the strength to win it...... Then give it to him. ”

Several designers looked at each other, and they were all high-achieving students, so they naturally understood what Ruiz meant.

They also confirmed that their guesses were correct.

There was some silence for a while.

But soon, a bearded designer's eyes lit up,

"So in that case, can we support UR now?"

Ruiz was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Ah, no problem."

"I love you, Ryze!"

"Wuhu~!"

"Fack! I can finally support UR, I'm so uncomfortable, Emporer God, kill me! ”

Several designers almost instantly stopped pretending.

From the standpoint of wanting to target UR, they still have professionalism.

But now that the boss has spoken, what is there to take into account?

If you want to support, you can support it!

They gathered in front of the big screen, ordered coffee, and began to enjoy the BO5.

Someone even took out a support stick and began to support UR.

A few people clinked glasses from time to time, cheering for every decision and advantage of UR,

At least now, they're spectators, too.

Who isn't an Emporer fan?

Back to the scene.

Because of the switch of sides, UR took on the ban position of Pan Sen this time.

But it doesn't hurt for them.

We UR may not have anything else, and the ban bit is sufficient.

I can't spend it, I can't spend it at all!

What about eating a ban? It doesn't matter at all.

KT grabs Titans.

After all, Brother Titan is unique, on the other hand, he will only be a Titan, and it is difficult to play a whole stealth without grabbing the road.

The last barrel can't be said to be like, but it's a bit stealthy.

After level six, I couldn't hit anything on the lower lane, so it was really not good.

Then you can only snatch the Titan for him.

UR takes EZ cat with a backhand.

It seems strange that this KT didn't move the cat.

But there's really nothing wrong with that.

From KT's point of view, the top loses not because the cat loses.

The cat is just a little stronger in team battles, and the line is not strong, and it can even be said that playing a lot of support is a disadvantage.

In fact, this one can also take the Kaiga cat.

But deft prefers EZ.

As for why it was said before the game that this focus was on playing on the lower road, and the result was a backhand EZ?

That's because in the eyes of deft, EZ was never a bastard AD.

At least his EZ has the ability to C up.

EZ that can't play can be called a bastard.

Deft is still very confident in his EZ.

Actually, this kkoma considered EZ with Lulu halfway.

Although it looks abstract, it is actually very abstract.

But EZ Lulu also has merit.

This bottom lane group is taken out, and Lulu is definitely not EZ, but other teammates.

The purpose of taking EZ Lulu is to ensure the strength of the line in the early stage, after all, Lulu is strong on the line.

After the transition to the team battle period, put EZ to output alone, and Lulu followed Nakaueno Big C, so the effect is very good.

Lulu Zhao Xin, Lulu open-air envoy, what can be the problem?

Isn't the team battle fierce?

Lulu is someone else!

Even kkoma doesn't think there's much of a problem with this combination.

So the question is, why are some teams so abstract when they come up with EZ Lulu?

Because once there is no output in the middle lane, Lulu can only keep EZ when it comes to playing in the group.

When Lulu can only keep AD, the lineup is naturally a piece of.

After all, it's normal for a rat to have a big mouth or something, and it's normal for you to fight four and one, and if you protect EZ and play four and one, it's too raw, and the taste has become peculiar.

However, when KKOMA said that he wanted to use Lulu to ensure the strength of the line, Deft was very confident and said no.

He was really not afraid, and he didn't feel that he couldn't play this line without Lulu.

Even if he gives Kai'Sa and Titan on the other side, he is confident that he can win this line with the cats of the field.

Because he firmly believes that his EZ is the strongest.

Although his favorite hero is a policewoman.

But policewomen are dreams, EZ is life.

The most confident hero has to be EZ.

So in the end, EZ Cat was selected and EZ Lulu was abandoned.

KT took Captain Kai'Sa with two or three hands.

They can't beat it in a team fight!

This is KT's biggest problem, it's too difficult to win team fights.

So it was natural to take the lineup in the direction of the late stage.

Needless to say, the strength of the captain's version is a strong one...... Mess!

And UR's third hand is to take the angel.

Someone must be very strange, how can this UR third hand still get an OP hero like Angel?

It's actually quite simple, because KT doesn't move enough.

Because of the need to take the captain, in order to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy of the captain Lucian created by Emporer in the group stage, KT can only pinch his nose and remove Lucian.

As a result, it is necessary to target the jungle and maintain the balance of the jungle.

As a result, the first three hands have no time to come over and target the angels.

And as for saying that KT robbed the angel himself?

Haha, you ask smeb if he dares to take it?

The strength of the angels is there.

Level 1 although the strength is not bad.

But once it reaches level 2, it is basically the weakest batch of top orders, and the situation will basically not change until level 6.

Smeb took the angel, and then Xu Ruoguang took out Jace with his backhand.

You ask SMEB if he dares to fight?

Originally, the line was a bit unbeatable, and it was no different from looking for death if it was an absolute disadvantage in the early stage.

There is also a gap between Jace, do you compare Emporer's Jace to Sword's Jace?

It's too much to look up to the sword, and it's too insulting to Xu Ruoguang.

So although it was not very reluctant, KT still did not take the angel, but chose the captain.

Naturally, Xu Ruoguang got it.

BP enters the second round.

Fourth, UR took the lead and took Sindra with only Nakano left.

Not to mention the disadvantages of playing the captain in the early stage of the angels on the road, it is generally difficult to play an advantage.

The EZ cat on the lower road must have been pushed to the line in the face of the Kaisha Titan, after all, EZ has no ability to clear the line.

Naturally, UR needed a stronger option in the middle of the lane.

After all, you can't choose a lineup with a three-way disadvantage and a three-way no line right, right?

That would make Canyon too difficult to play.

Score isn't playing badly either, and Canyon isn't playing dumb.

It's hard to do things with a three-way disadvantage jungler, so don't throw any pot at the jungler.

No matter how strong the jungler is, it is difficult to play much advantage in the wild area when there is no line right at the disadvantage of the three-way disadvantage.

So this syndra is a must.

It would be better if you could get the Enchantress, but the problem is that KT has moved, so naturally you can only choose Sindra more risky.

KT four or five hands out of the middle field.

Spiders and Shadow of Steel

BDD's mid-single green steel shadow is also a bit of a saying.

The World Race is the single hot version of the Blue Steel Film.

Now KT has at least two lanes up and down in the early stage, and score naturally has to choose a stronger jungler and find a way to put pressure on Canyon.

Spiders are a great choice.

With Camille, this midfield can be full of early suppressive force.

Supporting the early rhythm through the midfield, and then dragging up the development of the upper and lower lanes to take over the team battle, this is KT's tactic.

And in the fifth hand, it was naturally Canyon's turn to be the jungler.

This is not the first time he has eaten the counter position, and it stands to reason that the general jungler does not deserve to eat.

However, the Canyon hero pool is deep enough, and the fourth hand Sindra is also crucial and must be taken.

It can be said that Canyon is also a little sacrifice.

"The blind monk is gone, the pig girl is gone, and the barrel is still Qiyana?"

Kkoma asked, leaning over.

Canyon thought for a moment, and a somewhat innocent smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Coach, Kiana."

"Since the effect of the top Qiyana is very good, come back for so long, I am not afraid of him in the wild area, just fight."

Canyon was very confident when he said this.

"Okay."

Kkoma nodded slightly.

So, the final lineup was decided.

Blue Square KT:

Captain on the list

Jungle spiders

Mid single green steel shadow

Bottom lane group Kashaga Titan.

Red square UR:

Top Single Angel

Jungler Kiana

Mid laner Sindra

Lower lane group EZ plus cats.

It's game on!
