Chapter 454: Inferior Horses (5.K)

……

……

At the time of the confrontation between LMS and LCK,

The players of the four teams of the LPL rarely got a break, took a big bag of snacks, and gathered together to watch today's game.

"Alas, it's a pity, the gap between the two sides can't be made up by exploding seeds at all."

"To tell the truth, seeing today's lightning wolf, I feel like seeing the shadow of the previous LPL, it's really too powerless, no matter how much advantage I have in the early stage, I can only die slowly in the middle and late stages, and I am desperate!"

Aya Hirano sighed, "And except for F, the other teams seem to be just going through the motions, and they don't look like they want to win at all."

"But isn't it, you just look at their expressions on the field, cowering, cowardly, what kind of profession are you so afraid of making mistakes?"

King Ning said with disdain.

"Gah... Squeak"

Killua was chewing potato chips, and couldn't help but slow down his strength, and lowered his head in shame, feeling that the originally sweet snack had become tasteless.

At this moment,

"Are these people's skulls broken?"

"It's cool! Why don't you dare to open it!

What the hell do you want to do?!"

"Cowardice, what is there to coward, are you so worthy of F's efforts?!

Seeing KZ easily bulldozing the M17 crystal, Casa angrily threw the bottle on the ground and got up angrily and scolded.

Even if you leave the lightning wolf,

But Kassar's heart is more about finding a place to prove his strength.

It is absolutely impossible to say that in his heart, he does not have a trace of affection for the lightning wolf.

Now,

Seeing that the lightning wolf was eliminated from the competition with a complete victory, his eyes were red with anger.

"Alright, alright, don't be impulsive."

The first time I saw Xiaohu in this state of Casa, I was shocked and quickly got up, pulled his shoulders, sat down again, and comforted: "Haoxuan, the lightning wolf at least played his own style, and that's enough."

"Brother Tiger is right, if it weren't for the fact that the lightning wolf has maintained the top eight record in the world competition again and again, the LMS division would have been officially disbanded."

As Su Chen spoke, he wrapped his hand around the neck of the factory director next to him, and couldn't help but sigh, "Although our results in those years were average, if there was no EDG's top eight, I'm afraid that the qualifying places would have been reduced to two by fists."

According to the official rules of League of Legends, if the teams in the four major regions cannot even reach the quarterfinals of the World Championship, they will have to bear the possibility of relegation.

The most intuitive punishment is to reduce the number of places in the World Championship!

This is also a rule that Su Chen learned after playing professionally.

"Alright, don't come to comfort me, bad old man."

The factory director shook his head with a wry smile.

The quarterfinals were a mark of shame for him.

Although it is always said on the Internet that the factory director only needs to break through the top eight curse, he will be considered successful.

But from the very beginning, his goal was only to be a "champion"!

"Uh... Okay."

Su Chen let go in embarrassment, and then asked curiously, "By the way, promise, do you know what Coach Abu is doing?"

The main reason why they were able to get a relaxing vacation today was that the coaches of the four teams, who had been notified by Abu, had gone to the next room for a meeting.

"I guess it's tomorrow's order of play."

The factory director thought about it and replied.

"Then we R must apply to be the first to play!"

Su Chen rolled up his sleeves and said viciously, "You must wash away the evil qi you received two days ago!"

"That's right, we're a secret weapon, and we'll have no problem fighting anyone."

Doinb said excitedly.

Just when the factory director and others were curious about what secret weapon R had.

suddenly

The door to the room was pushed open, and a long reflection reflected the room.

"Okay, little baby Su Shen, we have already discussed the order of appearance the day after tomorrow, just go to the next room and announce it to you."

Glancing at Su Chen in the crowd, Abu beckoned and smiled kindly, with a neutral voice, at first glance, it looked no different from his mother Sang.

"Got it, Coach Abu."

Su Chen casually pushed away Xiao Ming, who was leaning on him, got up and stretched, and then leaned over to pick up the snack bag on the ground, "Hurry up, before the meeting, don't forget to clean up the garbage you ate!"

"Ouch, I know, I still have this quality."

Xiao Ming dusted off his clothes covered with potato chips and began to tidy up the room.

"Coach Jixing, what are you looking at?"

Looking at the increasingly rich smile on Abu's face, Hongmi, who was standing on the side, asked suspiciously.

"Coach Redmi, I really envy you for having such a worry-free player."

Abu's gentle eyes were almost glued to Su Chen's body.

When he saw this child, he thought of the young factory director back then.

How similar are the two of them-

Similar strength, strong personal style, hungry.

It would be a pity if such talents did not come to their EDG!

"Coach Redmi, Su Chen, this kid, did you sign a one-year short contract?"

Abu knocked on the corner, "Are you interested in coming to our EDG after the end of this year?"

"We're pretty good RNG, too."

"Even if you turn around, you won't be able to get out!"

「……」

After a while,

Everyone packed up their things and went to IG's training room.

As for why I went to IG?

It's not that Principal Wang has a lot of money, and the room he rented is the largest of the four teams!

"Ahem~"

Coughing lightly, and when the noisy room calmed down, the four coaches of Redmi walked to the flank of the tactical board, and Abu was the oldest and most experienced, so he acted as an explainer.

"Today, I and three other coaches predicted the order of the Korean team and our line-up."

[In view of the general environment,

With that, Abu picked up a black watercolor pen and wrote on the tactics board the order of the four matches between the LMS and LCK today.

As follows:

SKT against F

KT against MAD

AFS against GRX

KZ against M17

"Due to the strength of the LMS division... Belch... Kassa, I don't mean anything, please be considerate."

Ab paused, and after seeing Casa wave his hand again and again, indicating that it was okay, he continued: "The strength of the LMS division is unbalanced, and the strong team can only be counted as a lightning wolf, so the order of South Korea's dispatch today actually doesn't have much reference value."

"I suspect that they may also be deliberately sorted, probably to disrupt our thoughts, in case the wrong team is lined up, the consequences will be quite fatal."

Before the battle began, the grain and grass went first,

The coach's strategy is equivalent to the logistics of ancient times, and the battlefield has already begun from this moment!

"This kind of thing, it seems to be really the style of the LCK."

Su Chen, who was listening carefully, looked very serious.

Once upon a time, LCK teams liked to hide their hole cards in training matches to find out what their opponents were capable of.

The S3's Ugly Open and the S5's LGD are the most obvious examples.

Choukai's classic quote: "I have five or five with Faker, and I often kill him alone." It is widely circulated.

But he added, "But I don't think he's serious about playing." But it was ignored by everyone.

It's because of the good results in training matches

The results will make the LPL team despise the former LCK, which will cause bitter fruit.

Now

The four teams on the expedition have very different styles.

IG is the main hit on Nakano,

EDG conventional dual-core tactics,

RNG and R are both four-in-one tactics.

It's okay to say that similar teams are most afraid of encountering the enemy's strongest position and hitting their own weakest position.

For example, KT and KZ's four-one band style is specially used to play RNG and R teams.

Although RNG is not afraid of KZ, terrible KT Ah!

Deft hits puppies, but he still has a special hand.

Although the current state is obviously inferior to the other party, it is still no problem to withstand the pressure on the line and drag it to the strong period on the road.

"But today's game, there is still a reference value."

With his lips slightly closed, Abu smiled, raised his hand and used a black pen to mark a heavy circle on one of the teams on the board.

「KZ?!」

"What does that mean?"

Everyone was talking about it.

"Be quiet and listen to Coach Abu."

Redmi frowned, and his team fell silent.

"Coach Redmi, it's okay, more discussions help communication, it's not good to scare the children."

Abu's smile remained unchanged, and he continued to say softly, "The tactic we will use tomorrow is: Tian Ji horse racing!"

"Pheasant racing? Do you mean that chicken is better than horse meat?"

Doinb asked, dumbfounded.

Don't say it's him,

Even if it is the best elementary school brother and Rooike in Chinese, let them say that it is no problem, but there are some idioms and allusions mixed in the words, it is difficult to be human.

"Gugu, Tian Ji horse racing is an allusion to our Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to put it simply, each side has three upper, middle and lower horses to compete, using a best-of-three system."

Su Chen spread the culture and said, "We use the dismount to exchange the opposite horse, and then rely on the upper horse to win the middle horse, and the middle horse to win the dismount, so as to achieve the final victory."

"According to Coach Abu, the LCK side must want to win the game 3-0 steadily, so KZ, who is currently in the weakest form, is ranked last and plays the role of an inferior horse."

"That's... Who are the inferior horses?" Doinb suddenly blurted out subconsciously.

As soon as these words came out,

Su Chen's smile froze, and Doinb seemed to understand, and the two looked at each other and fell silent.

Sima Lao Thief and the others sitting next to him also pursed their mouths, and their hearts were sour.

The whole room was silent, as if you could hear even a pin dropping.

Yes,

Since the method of horse racing is adopted, who is the inferior horse among the four teams?

Not to mention the selected team, just hearing the word inferior horse makes people feel seriously uncomfortable, and it sounds extremely harsh.

"Oh no, I should have done it another way."

Abu blamed himself in his heart.

All four of them are adults, and the process of discussion will not produce strange ideas.

can be completely ignored,

These current players are generally only in their early 20s, and it is when they are arrogant.

Who can guarantee that they will be able to accept themselves as inferior horses with peace of mind?

offstage,

Most of the players are wandering in their minds, and they inevitably guess who will be the "inferior horse" team here.

"First of all, RNG and IG must be ruled out, the hard power of their two teams is the strongest among us."

The former is back in shape, the latter is indisputable about the SKT, and the silver is indisputable.

Thinking of this,

The players of EDG and R have a common move in their hearts, and each other

glanced at each other, and as if they were electrocuted, they hurriedly turned their heads.

Compared with the summer season,

We are all about the same, and we are similar in strength.

We won the intercontinental tournament and won the bending team, but against the Korean team...

When I think of this,

Su Chen's breath was slightly short, and he inexplicably felt that the corners of his mouth were a little astringent.

Among the four teams, whether it is RNG, IG, or EDG, there are examples of defeating teams from cold countries in the group stage.

Only them!

Isn't it obvious who the inferior horses are when they lost to Team KT?

With a vague and complicated gaze, he looked at the R team members at this time.

There is compassion, there is shame, there is pity......

All kinds of eyes are like a man's back, which is very uncomfortable.

Su Chen pursed his lips, trying not to let his expression fluctuate, and the palms on his legs had already tightened the fabric of his pants.

Last year, he single-handedly shone in the entire World Championship, single-handedly knocking out three Korean teams.

But this year, has it been reduced to the point of being sacrificed?

I want to defend myself, but I don't have the confidence

Esports - Dishes are the original sin!

They are indeed the only team out of the four teams that have not won against South Korea at the moment.

The straight back, slowly bending, depressed and unwilling emotions, permeated the bottom of my heart.

The emotions of his own players, Redmi can see it all, and he knows that if it goes on like this, what is the difference between the intriguing regions of LPL and LCK?

Tian Ji horse racing?

The charm of e-sports is never to retreat from difficulties, but to defeat the strong with the weak! The following grams!

He still wants to get a chance for his own players.

"Coach Abu."

Redmi made up her mind to speak.

"Coach Redmi, you say."

Abu looked back, puzzled.

Haven't we already communicated, what else can we want?

"I don't think it's the best way to go with the LCK."

In a puzzled tone, Redmi said, "What do you think we can score with the LCK team in the best possible way?"

"3-0, 3-1 or the final BO5 wins?"

"Coach Redmi, the best chance is naturally Bo5, and the best scenario we expected was to win two of the first four rounds and drag it to the tiebreaker, as for 3-0, or 3-1 is too dreamy."

Abu replied with a smile.

"Then in the fifth game, which team should be on the line?" Redmi continued to ask.

"Naturally, RNG is on the field!"

Abu didn't hide it, and said directly: "Whether it is the degree of tacit understanding or the strength, they are the first choice for the name!"

Hearing this praise,

Puppy and Tiger and others looked proud and proud.

That's right, once they're back in form, they can beat up any opponent in the world!

"I'm sure the players on other teams think the same way, right?"

Abu said with a smile.

Actually, strength aside,

Who is called RNG is the only "Chosen Huazi" of the four teams in this!

EDG mid-lane Korean, IG mid-lane Korean, R mid-lane Korean.

In the last of last year's intercontinental competition, LPL chose to send E to the field against SKT, and I don't know how much commotion it affected.

Even the commentators were dumbfounded on the spot, and they all stuttered a little when they spoke.

Although at that time,

The puppy is not there because of the injury, but no one thinks that in the tiebreaker, the LPL will not send RNG to the game.

Now

If you play in the finals, press RNG down again and switch to any team.

Even if it is an IG with similar strength, Rooike and Theshy are both LPs

L registered players, but the audience and fans can still make a lot of trouble.

It's better to say if you win, but if you lose...... Loyal to the country, I am afraid it will spread throughout the LPL.

Back to the topic,

Hear the interpreter say: Abu is sure to send RNG to the field,

Redmi said, "That's right, if it's sure that LCK will put KZ in last place, why don't you let RNG eat them steadily?"

"You know, in this year's mid-season, RNG won by a big score of 3:1."

"Fight KZ, RNG will win!" In the first three games, IG and EDG defeated SKT and AFS head-on, and if they won one game, they could lift the game to B and harvest, wouldn't it?"

"Coach Redmi, you don't want to say, let R take the lead, right?"

Abu obviously reacted and asked with a wry smile.

"Yes."

Redmi replied, "Actually, after the loss, we have developed a new system and are very confident that we will help the division to score the first point."

"And according to the law of Tian Ji horse racing, the LCK will definitely send a mid-to-upper team to fight, so if we can defeat the strong with the weak, we will definitely be able to bring a huge psychological advantage to the teams behind!"

After saying that, Redmi's face turned a little red.

He knew that what he said was a bit crooked.

What does it mean that RNG is a must-win when playing KZ?

Today's RNG, as long as the golden icon is lit, it is *** recognized by everyone as the strongest team in the world!

This is also the confidence of LPL to dare to play Bo5!

"Coach Redmi, I'm afraid I can't be the master."

Abu spread his hands helplessly, and looked at Hart and Sun Dayong, "If you want to play in a different order, you have to depend on the opinions of the two RNG coaches."

"Cheng Rong, didn't we already discuss it in the lounge before, there's no need to change positions suddenly."

Sun Dayong said in embarrassment.

"Goo-goo, what is Coach Dayong talking about?"

Watching the two coaches communicate in Korean, Su Chen reached Doinb with his hand.

"Hani, the coach wants to say, I hope RNG can switch places with us and give us a chance to play early..."

Speaking of the back, Doinb was a little ashamed to say it.

"That's right..."

Su Chen was stunned.

It's really sad to see Hongmi's appearance of giving up face to beg for others in order to take care of their mentality.

"The inferior horse is the inferior horse, and the fourth is the fourth."

"If you lose the game, you should bear the consequences!"
