Chapter 168 [Isolated?!] 】
New York is located in the eastern part of the United States, about 1,273 kilometers from Chicago, and it was already three and a half hours after everyone landed at JFK International Airport.
There are a total of 3 airports in New York, but the other two airports are a little further away from Manhattan, and Riot has also bought the nearest airport for convenience.
Now the time is late October, although the temperature in New York is not as cold as Chicago, but at this time Chu Ge still put on the jersey jacket of the spring game.
As for Vincent's special request to wear the LPL team uniform, the IG players ignored it throughout the whole process, and everyone still has to have a little face when they go out.
is out of conquest, and even the clothing designer is probably reluctant to admit that this is his work.
Riot arranged a minibus to pick up and drop off the four teams to the hotel, which is only 500 meters away from Madison Square Garden.
"This fist is bloody!" The words of the carol are full of satisfaction, "This is a place for NBA teams that play on the road." ”
Everyone also knows little about basketball, but the closer you get to the hotel, the denser the buildings and slogans on the road.
"It's a place known as the mecca of basketball!" Chu Ge put down his phone and looked out through the car window, and there were countless young people wearing the jersey of the home team's Knicks.
Compared to the 4,000-seat venue at the Chicago Theatre, Riot put a lot of effort into the semifinals.
Madison Square Garden is a true landmark, the first place to visit New York, after all, it is not only a mecca for basketball, but also for the history of boxing and music.
The venue is large enough to accommodate 20,000 people!
"That's all normal," Vincent leaned over and said in a brisk tone, "When you win this semi-final, I'll take you to Riot HQ, that's the mecca for us esports people!" ”
"Not only do we have to go, but we also have to go with the trophy," Chu Ge longed, "Go and talk to the designer face-to-face about our champion skin!" ”
It's all here, you always have to bring something back, if it's not a flower pot, Chu Ge would prefer to put the summoner trophy in his own display case.
On the first day they arrived at the hotel, the IG training team did not start the training match, but first went to the stadium for a walk under the organization of Riot, and then cooperated with the shooting of promotional videos to record individual VCRs between various competitions.
Everything is in order.
However. By the end of the night, the IG team had a problem, SKT was reluctant to make an appointment with them for a training match, and Rox, his opponent in the semi-finals, would definitely not fight again before the game, after all, it would be bad for both sides.
The only option for IG is SSG.
But here's the problem, IG and Rox's offensive styles are similar, and SSG and their two teams actually have similar training results.
The most critical question is.
SKT's tactical approach to defending and counter-attacking is completely different from that of IG and Rox, which leads to the fact that SSG and the two teams may not be able to train up to the ideal situation.
In the end, SSG was forced to choose their own team in this region, and IG was completely defeated in the semi-finals!
Chu Ge sat on the gaming chair, his brows furrowed.
For professional teams, the absence of a training match is equivalent to running out of bullets, and even if they played well before, it is likely that the player's form will decline during the week.
It's equivalent to saying.
IG was not only surrounded by three LCK teams in the game, but even the training match was completely isolated.
Zhu Songge pushed open the door of the training room with a sad face, sat on the sofa, and slowly spread his hands in the eager eyes of the players, and sighed, "I contacted the domestic team, except for RNG and EDG, all the others are on holiday." ”
"RNG can't play even if he doesn't have a holiday, Looper will go back to South Korea after returning to China to pack his luggage, and now there is no one to assist and top the list at the starter, and he can't even start the game."
"As for the loss of the EDG players and coaching staff in this World Championship, they are still busy dealing with public opinion in China and have no time to help us train."
As soon as the words fell, the team members were completely stunned.
There are still 4 days left before the start of the game, and if the team can't be invited to play, it means that they will only have to soak in the American server every day to play Rank.
Ranking is a way to help the players maintain a certain touch, but they are about to face the world's top LCK No. 1 seeds, and the level of quality is even above them.
This wave of blows has made IG's already not wealthy family even worse.
"There's really no way" Wang Boqin held back his anger and said with burning eyes, "Let's go find Coach Nofe and make an appointment for a two-day training match!" ”
"I tried, and they didn't want to."
Zhu Songge spread his hands, his face full of sadness, "In the past few days, you can only play Rank, and then if you train, I will let the gesture and the child bring a few members of the second team." ”
"This strength gap is too big," King Ning's eyes widened, and he looked a little impatient with a short temper, "To put it mildly, this can't even reach LSPL, isn't it torture?" “
Gao Zhenning's words are not alarmist.
In this year's relegation match, even LGD, which is at the bottom of the list, can kill the LSPL team, not to mention IG, a strong team that has reached the top four of the World Finals.
Instead of increasing unnecessary confidence in this way, it is better to hone your tactical methods by opening a custom custom, and maybe everyone will play a little more open.
"Fuck the stick!"
King Ning scolded, "When it comes to the critical time, I really don't want any face at all, and only you can do something like a dark eight-hour network cut!" ”
In the end, the team unanimously decided that it was better to rely on others than on themselves, and all the training matches were replaced with custom games, and the entire IG team held their breath and prepared to find Rox to vent in the semi-finals!
After practicing in this way for 3 days, EDG finally finished dealing with the matter in hand and freed up his hands to start the training match with IG crazy.
Even the daily Rank has become a review of the training match, and Ming Kai even called to complain, asking Chu Ge what they have been through in the past few days.
"Let's not talk about whether we can win the championship or not," Chu Ge said his opinion, "After all, we are also entering the World Championship for the first time, if we can win the championship, it is good, even if we can't win this championship, we must do our best." ”
"I don't know if it's going to be successful or not, but I want to trample all the LCK teams under my feet right now, a bunch of unsportsmanlike Loser!"
When Ming Kai heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, "How do I feel that you are ordering me?" But you're right, the LCK should be educated, come on pigeons! ”
"Training match, continue!"
After saying the 'continue', Ming Kai himself was a little Bengbu, they played a training match with IG, and their state was even better than that of the World Championship.
This made Chu Ge wonder.
Could it be that the old tradition of EDG is to recognize the bed?
After the last day of training, Zhu Songge forcibly dragged the bloodshot players out to eat, and asked Vincent to lock the door of the training match.
He was afraid that if he continued, the players would not be able to hold on before they started fighting.
But there will be a competition tomorrow, and Zhu Songge did not choose to eat big fish and meat, originally Chen Zi also proposed to eat Haidilao, but Wang Cheng vetoed it.
Haidilao eats beef noodles,
Go back to the hotel and pack a little Yang fried again, right?
What about stacking debuffs?
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the food was served, he took out two drops of eye drops to relieve fatigue, and then took out his mobile phone to read the domestic messages.
Under the high pressure in the past few days, Chu Ge has been thinking about how to defeat Rox Tiger even when he goes to the toilet, and he doesn't even have the idea of playing with his mobile phone.
Now that he is free, Chu Ge also has to relieve his emotions, otherwise the taut string will break, and even if he has a system, he will not be able to deal with the state problem!
IG is now the only seedling in LPL, and the post bar is full of all kinds of scoring stickers and prediction stickers, but on the whole, they all think IG will win.
Except for a few posts that are against the sky, most of the declining posts have been deleted by the bar.
[I really don't need to watch the game between SKT and SSG, this Nima plays a wild card in the quarterfinals, and the experience baby in the semifinals plays LCK, it's not that the fist uses a transparent glass cylinder, I suspect that there is a shady scene. 】
[The most disgusting thing, the styles of IG and Rox are more similar, and they will definitely play in the dark, and when the hole cards are exhausted, SKT will lie down and win the championship. 】
[I really want to fast forward to tomorrow, I can't see the game, I'm like an ant crawling, Su Terrier can't sleep at night! ] 】
[It's still dark? I don't really think IG can beat Rox Tiger, I guess like his two brothers, they were eliminated 3:1]
[The core point of the battle between IG and Rox is still in Ueno, and I feel that the strength of Kuro's mid lane is still slightly inferior to that of broilers. 】
After reading the post with the most comments, the dishes in the Chinese restaurant were also served one after another, Chu Ge tasted a mouthful of sweet and sour tenderloin, almost didn't die of sweetness, and quickly shaved two bites of rice to suppress the shock.
He kind of understands what it means to follow the local customs.
Authentic Chinese food, which most locals in North America are not used to, will basically be localized and improved into dishes that meet their tastes.
Actually, it's understandable
Even the special cuisines of various provinces in China will be improved to adapt to local tastes after leaving the province, not to mention the United States on the other side of the ocean.
Chu Ge continued to flip through the stickers, he really wanted to find the technical stickers of the folk gods at this time, what if he could find something useful?
An article titled "Rational Discussion! If IG wants to defeat Rox Tiger, it must solve these three problems first, otherwise there is a high probability of stopping in the top four! 》
[Let's analyze the performance of the Rox Tiger World Championship first.]
Although they advanced to the quarterfinals with 5 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, we know very well that the loss to ANX was purely a physical loss to the Russians, and the game played until 70 minutes, and the players basically relied on instinct to play the game, and the skills and tactics did not exist at all.
Confirm the ingredients first, I'm an iron pig offal.
Rational analysis EDG took turns to make mistakes in Ueno in the quarterfinals, not to mention playing the Tigers' hole cards, and even I think that Kuro took out the Dragon King, all of which were trying out the lineup.
After all, in version 6.15, Dragon King, cards, and Teleportation Ice Maiden were the mainstream, and today's version of the core is more biased towards the play of Earthbound Spirits.
The dragon king is strong in support, but in terms of numerical value, it is still slightly worse than the teleportation mage such as Clockwork and Sindra, and it does not meet the situation of the version.
Looking at this year's Rox game, we can all see from the Tigers' coaching ability, and they basically don't make such mistakes.
Of course, it is not excluded that the reason why Kuro is called a Korean tiger.
In a sense, he is indeed the same type of person as Midtiger - he has limited laning ability, cannot play the laning advantage through his own operation, and makes his teammates comfortable through support feedback.
However, there is still a clear gap between the two!
This is also the first point of Bo's main analysis]
See here.
Chu Ge suddenly felt that this post was interesting, judging from the previous analysis, this is definitely the last professional e-sports analysis article.
When he saw the poster, he suddenly realized.
Isn't this the later generation of e-sports blogger Yin Tian CLNG?
With patience, Chu Ge continued to watch:
[The biggest difference between Kuro and Xiaohu is that he is a player who prefers to sacrifice his own development to help the team, so the reason why Rox has not won SKT until now is largely because Han Hu made Faker too comfortable in the middle lane.
Rookie's advantage is that he gains an advantage by playing a strong lane, so that he rarely takes the initiative to link with the jungler, but Ning Wang is the initiator of the rhythm.
In fact, this is very bad for IG!
After all, the premise of a strong line is that the opponent wants to play with you online, and according to Kuro's data, he will often lose the line and will help the jungler or top the laner, which means that IG's two line power advantages will be reduced to one!
The second point that IG needs to pay attention to is the little peanut.
Be sure not to let Peanut get Nedley!
I can say it explicitly.
IG as long as they dare to let Nedri go, they will lose!
Little Peanut's strength lies in Kuro's feedback to him, and he can take out wild core heroes such as Leopard Girl and Male Gun to replace the mid laner as the second core output point.
IG can't take the leopard girl even if it's on the blue side!
It has only been less than half a year since Ning Wang transformed into a jungler, and it can be clearly seen that he is more inclined to be a jungler hero who can help his teammates get up to the rhythm, which is a good style of play that he has laid at the beginning of his career.
The resources of the Summoner's Rift are only enough to raise 2.5 Cs.
The reason why Dow can C is that he can always get a single kill advantage from the opponent's single hand and develop on his own, so we often see the situation where the 3C output is full.
And want to achieve this.
It means that IG's two strong opposing lines must aggressively push the line to play the opposing advantage, and Nedri can't sacrifice her own development to help her teammates squat, she is a hero who needs to eat resources.
King Ning does not fit the character of this hero.
Thirdly, Dow, who is trusted by Dog Son fans, is likely to be dumb after meeting Smeb and not meet everyone's expectations.
To put it simply, except for IG, which has a hero advantage of Kree, any other hero Smeb will, and the proficiency of the two is not much different, so it is difficult to play an advantage online. 】
The core analysis of the article is very deep.
There is not much difference from the self-evaluation of the IG coaching staff, and they are actively solving it during this time, but they still can't find a solution when the game is approaching.
The only advantage they can rely on is that they hope to win the game on the red side with black technology, so that they can hope to win.
Otherwise, we will really stop at the top four!
