Three days later.

Qin Lu was in the training room and saw Little Peanut.

"Here we are." Seeing him, Qin Lu was very happy.

"What am I going to do?"

Little Peanut sat in front of the computer, unsure how SSG wanted to try out. In his experience at SKT, those people would team him up to play training matches and ask him a lot of questions.

"Don't worry, your temporary teammates haven't arrived yet."

Kim Dae-jin looked at his watch, "You should be able to gather around 2 o'clock." Forty minutes to go. ”

Minutes and seconds passed.

The original starters didn't feel good in their hearts. Funy didn't expect to take a week off and take a break from work. After the obvious defeat to SKT, manager Edgar also comforted them for their summer efforts. So, that's what it's called effort?

CuVee was equally apprehensive, unsure if he needed to compete for his place, but despite the focus on the team in the second half of the game, he could feel the coaching staff taking good care of him. But...... CuVee secretly vowed in his heart: Even if I am rotated, I will give my best and ensure that I will not be replaced by others. I have this confidence.

2:05 p.m.

When coreJJ, who came back from North America in the offseason, said sorry, the tryout began.

When you line up for a training match.

Wraith was a little relaxed, and he found that there was no help among the people who had come today. Looking at the positions reported by each person, one person on the top road, three on the jungler, two on the middle lane, and three on the AD trial, it can be seen that the club wants to seek a change in the summer season.

Could it be that the team is most optimistic about me? Wraith had to think so, he thought CuVee was the most stable, but he had a top laner who had been relegated or relegated to come to try out.

After a while, the youth director came.

He came to supervise the trial training, although Qin Lu only recommended 3 of the entire trial list, accounting for one-third, but the youth training director was still worried that Qin Lu would make a word and didn't want the people he recommended.

The content of the test on the first day was very ordinary, and Qin Lu just asked the players who formed a temporary team to compete in their favorite way.

The test lasted until 10 p.m., and Qin Lu tried to keep his face without any expression, or to maintain a faint smile...... He doesn't want to affect the player's performance, even if some games are played strangely, he won't make a sound. He knew that these people who came for a trial were eager to get a chance, and they would look at the expressions of Qin Lu and the others behind them from time to time.

Of course.

Qin Lu must have a key object to observe, just like the youth training director occasionally reciting a few words about how stable CoCo is on the line, in Qin Lu's eyes, he focused on coreJJ's play.

Then, he understood why coreJJ couldn't get ahead in the AD position.

How to say it.

Qin Lu actually understands that most of the players who break into overseas leagues are people who have no chance, or are not favored by the academy. If you think about it, there are no more than 10 new spots in the first-tier league every year, and most teams don't change blood very often.

For players, playing experience is very valuable, and playing a game or not playing a game is not the same thing at all. There is a big gap between the players who have been trained and guided and the players who have not studied systematically.

The gap here does not refer to the alignment, or the exchange of blood micro-exercises, and the people who have been coached know how to find a place in the team. It's easier for them to find the rhythm of the game.

Everyone knows that relegation and removals are cruel.

But those teams that fall from the first-tier league can often control the thunder and lightning in the second-tier league, and there is a good chance of coming back.

The reason is very simple, even if you can't stay in the first-tier league, the teamwork of these people is enough for most newcomers to learn. It may be that these people are not strong, but when it comes to resource exchange and teaming, they can distinguish the gap in implementation with the naked eye.

So.

For the sake of playing experience and systematic guidance, there are too many newcomers here who go overseas, and usually, their first goal is the LPL, followed by North America, and finally Brazil, Oceania and other leagues. Anyway, game experience is a plus.

coreJJ is the same route as Qin Lu's example, at the beginning, he was not favored in various youth academies and had to consider overseas. went to North America, the results were quite average, and the performance was not impressive, but because of the systematic guidance, his ideas with the group were remarkable, so he looked better than other competitors.

Subsequently, in order to get a more intuitive evaluation, Qin Lu asked coreJJ to try a weak line - many people will have confidence when they get the signature hero, and on the contrary, if they are targeted, some people will behave in a mess.

Like BlisS, he actually performed okay in the trial, Edgar commented that BlisS's late big core was almost hot, but at this point, BlisS adapted to a spring game, and just passed.

Choosing a newcomer is like a lottery.

You never know how well he's adapted. There may be some shortcomings, but they will be adjusted in a week or two, like piercing through window paper, or it may be that their career has been ended, and it is still like that.

Give the bottom lane a weak counterpoint.

Qin Lu was deeply impressed by coreJJ's overly cowardly hand-lining habits.

I don't know if it's nervous, or from the heart, he came out of the experience area too quickly, and he was beaten in 3 minutes by the jungler after playing like this. Whoever sees that there is a level difference in the lower road, and their own side is entering the tower in a wave and a half, will choose to do so. Even if you cross the tower for one, you can make a small profit from the line.

That's what most teams are adhereting: controlling risk for two to three times the profits.

The first day of tryouts ends.

Kim Dae-jin took people to the dormitory.

The youth training director came over to talk, "Haha, what does Qin Jiao think?" ”

"It's only the first day, so there's no hurry."

Qin Lu took the preliminary observation report and went to the manager's office. Looking at the back, the youth training director realized that Qin Lu had "consulted" with Edgar for everything, no wonder he was able to squeeze out his predecessor!

"This is the observation report from the first day."

"I'm more optimistic about Crown." Qin Lu knew what Edgar wanted to hear. He asked Kim Dae-jin, and he said that he went to the office one day and found Edgar watching the Hyper team game. This suggests that Edgar is not the first day to pay attention to Crown.

Edgar looked in a good mood, he flipped through the report and patted Qin Lu on the shoulder, "I trust your vision. To show his trust, Edgar added, "This kind of thing can be done after the tryout." ”

When some people hear this, their first reaction is that the leader treats me as their own, and then in the next work, they really think that they don't need to report the situation.

If you really do this, you won't be far from losing your impression points.

To the leader, polite words are less serious.

The more Edgar emphasized, the more Qin Lu complied with, "It's not a lot of work." By the way, I'll count the game data into a table, and ......"

Qin Lu pretended to hesitate.

Edgar asked, "Got a problem?" ”

"It's not a problem, it's just that I think coreJJ is a player who can be transferred to support. He's played AD for 2 years and has a lot of experience in the bottom lane, but his endgame ability is relatively weak, and I feel like he's the same problem as Funy, he's not good at taking over the game. ”

Saying coreJJ is like Funy is enough for Edgar to be wary. Having suffered a loss that the double c is not as good as SKT, Edgar definitely doesn't want the summer tournament, and the double c will have a big problem.

"Turn Position...... It's not easy. ”

"Every qualified AD is a good support." Qin Lu praised coreJJ, "He has a good view of the overall situation, and his idea of following the group is very clear, if he reduces the investment in the operation end and frees up his energy to command the game, I feel that he can give full play to his characteristics." ”

"Have you asked him for his opinion?" Edgar didn't think it was a small thing and didn't really care.

"I'll talk to him."

Next.

As soon as coreJJ entered the training room, he was called out by Qin Lu and Kim Dazhen. coreJJ was a little nervous, he thought he wasn't doing well and didn't impress the SSG coaching staff. For someone like him, his career has heard countless bad news.

"I'll be straight, SSG isn't for you......"

coreJJ's heart sank, and sure enough, it still didn't work.

In the next sentence, the mood is different again, "You don't play AD enough to impress me, but your thinking is fine, after consideration, I propose that you try out to assist." ”

Qin Lu said seriously: "I think you are suitable to be the brain of the team, you have talent in this area." ”

This proposal made coreJJ's mouth dry, and he stammered, "If I transfer to the auxiliary, will I have a chance to sign a contract?" Also, Who is my partner? ”

"Yes, if you can use your own characteristics to observe the situation, it is not difficult to get a contract. As for who is your partner, do you have any recommendations? ”

coreJJ was silent for a moment, and a certain face came to mind, "That's a good guy called Ruler, he's here to fight AD, and I'm willing to assist." I'm not asking conditions, I'm just ...... I didn't know the bottom of my heart, I played AD for 2 years, and suddenly I was told to play assist, and I was afraid that I made the wrong choice. ”

The most golden career of a professional player is only three or four years. Once you make the wrong choice, you will be hit by confidence or secondary, and it is more likely to be a waste of time and a waste of valuable professional life.

"Trust the judgment of professionals."

"You're better suited to command than to concentrate on taking over the endgame."

In the afternoon of the same day.

Ruler suddenly discovers that coreJJ, who was still competing with him for AD yesterday, has become his partner.

That's how wonderful things are.

Wraith's good mood lasted only one day before he welcomed a competitor.

When SSG strives to reinforce.

Outside.

The first mid-season tournament is in full swing.

On the day of the final.

Qin Lu and Kim Dazhen followed Edgar to watch the live broadcast.

Before the game, Edgar also felt that SKT would win EDG 3:1 at most. Because of the group stage, SKT has maintained its good form.

But as a result, SKT and EDG staged a dragon fight. SKT, who had high expectations, exposed some shortcomings, and in this BO5, even if the two teams made a lot of mistakes that could be called kindergarten-level, it did not prevent it, and it was the highest level of competition at that time.

Nar, who killed Annie in one hit and three, and the big tree that was crazy about being injured, and in the face of Koro1, who was in explosive form, MaRin was once again overshadowed.

After making a decision, double c does not lose SKT, and the buckle and his coaching team can't solve it either.

In the past, SKT only needed to ensure the development of double cs to solve the 99 game, and they all forgot that the double cs were evenly matched, how to break the game.

In this game, it looks like SKT lost 2:3, but in fact, the gap is bigger than this score.

Just look at BP.

Deft also said in an interview before the game that the top three ADs in his mind are Calista, Jinx, and Wheel Mom, and then the first one, EDG released Calista, and then was forced to grab the hammer stone, and formed a small cannon, hammer stone against Callista, Annie.

Anyway, the lineup was selected in this game, and Edgar made a judgment: edg has a certain degree of mobility, but the output pressure is all pressed on the small cannon, and it is not good to grab the hammer stone with the ban; On the other hand, SKT, as long as it does not lag behind more than 5,000 in the middle of the game, this lineup will immediately soar.

In addition, on Deft's final pick, it was clear that I wanted to use an airplane. If chosen, the output contribution of the small group would definitely be more sufficient, but for some reason, he still took the small cannons of T3 and T4, and it was difficult for Annick to jump.

And the game is over.

EDG learned a lesson, never drove Calista again, two or three games, without Nar's Koro1, playing with the big tree also disgusted SKT, in addition, Deft's Jinx is too eye-catching.

This led to the fifth game, which was not good for BP.

They didn't dare to open the narr, they didn't dare to put the excavator, they didn't want to deal with Jinx.

Everyone saw the fifth game of life and death, and Faker's confirmation of the enchantress caused the audience to cheer and comment. But no one noticed a trap: that is, Pawn's Morgana had two skills to take away the Night Enchantress, Nunu also deliberately put the bait for Benji, and at the same time, Meiko snatched Wolf's incomparably bright opening bull head in the fourth game, and Deft's Wheel Mom almost wiped out the role of Enchantress.

In the end, the director's widow made up the last piece of the puzzle - stealth made SKT's desire to establish vision control greatly reduced.

SKT is defeated, and Faker's 100% win rate is shattered.

When Qin Lu watched the live broadcast, his only emotion was: Faker is not the first time that his hands are shaking in a critical game.

There was a scene in the fifth game, that is, when Nar fainted the four people, the enchantress W hit the wall. It's incredible, as the league's most prestigious mid-laner, his Enchantress has won 12 straight matches on the international stage without a defeat.

However, at that moment, it seemed that the beauty was twilight and the good general was white-headed, although he had only just passed his 19th birthday and was in his prime.

In LPL.

Commenting on this game, there is WE captain Ruofeng, IG captain Xiaoxiao, and Wei Shen and PYL, who are only a little bit away from MSI, sitting in the guest seat.

The finals are over.

Pawn stared curiously at the medal around his neck, he probably expected to get the same trophy or ring as the S-Series, Deft and Meiko had a pleasant conversation, Koro1 turned to look at his teammates, and the factory manager stared down at the medal for a moment, then smiled like a child.

At the end of the live broadcast, a close-up of Faker's blank face flashed on the screen, and Edgar suddenly shouted: "SKT has today, haha!" ”

At this moment, Qin Lu was a little disappointed. It's not that I'm disappointed that there were mistakes in the game, the players are also people, not some programming. I just felt that Edgar was not pure about the game, muttered before the game that SKT would win, applauded EDG during the game, and taunted SKT after the game to go to MSI to lose face.

Shame on you?

Perhaps.

After all, except for LPL, in the world, no one thinks EDG will win.

“2:3！ Failures to remember! ”

The North American commentator commented at the end of the game. They also knew very well that a typhoon would await SKT.

"Except for the fourth game, Wolf didn't perform as well as a little-known newcomer!" 》

Bang Final Status! 》

What is MaRin doing! 》

From the beginning of the post-game group interview, the spearhead was pointed at the coaching staff and the upper and lower assistants.

Many of SKT's choices have become the topic of accusation: on-the-spot substitutions, BP is too old, adjustments are too slow, and there are too many mistakes......

The forum also questioned: It is arrogance that ruined SKT!!

The reason given by netizens is that EDG's ban people are very targeted, and they are very researched at a glance, but on the other hand, their thinking is monotonous, and they only know that they are hot heroes, and they have no other preparations.

In the overwhelming accusations, not many people dare to say that Faker is not.

The key group in the fifth game, the enchantress stepped on it, not to mention that it would definitely win, at least, the team won or lost.

But the focus was only on the game that Easyhoon lost.

How ironic it is that the audience said that SKT drove the highest salary payout in the region, but was overturned by a team that also focused on double c tactics!
