Fortunately, several athletes who had fever received timely treatment and did not develop serious illnesses. They recovered relatively quickly and did not miss any training or competitions.
GGB also played smoothly in the qualifying round. During the interview, they specially thanked POG and Gu Yueshuang, saying that it was all thanks to them. They praised Gu Yueshuang's Korean level and also gave everyone some basic knowledge about ibuprofen.
This also made foreign audiences curious about Gu Yueshuang. Isn't she only 17 years old? Why does she have so many magical abilities?
Gu Yueshuang was so hyped online that she was even scared. She asked, "Is there a mysterious saying that those who get a lot of attention before a match usually can't win the championship?"
Fang Butao: "Think positively. Only LPL fans who have been following the game all the way will praise your esports skills. The rest will either compliment your looks, your youth, or your amazing skills. Few are optimistic about you winning the championship."
Lu Minghao: "Ah? Why? We are the number one seed after all..."
Fang Butao sighed and said politely, "Our team is too new. Everyone thinks we're inexperienced."
They are basically newcomers who just turned 17 and veterans who have not made any progress in the past few years, so everyone is very interested in them, but few people think they can really win the championship.
Gu Yueshuang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Lin Yanqiu: "Stereotypes are not desirable."
Xu Qing brought water and approached Gu Yueshuang, asking, "I'm also curious why you can speak Korean?"
Gu Yueshuang was startled by him and said, "I didn't bring a spare keyboard! Stay away from me!"
Xu Qing put the water aside and explained, "I just fetched some water on the way..."
Gu Yueshuang said casually, "When I was little, my parents didn't let me play games. They told me I could play as long as I learned something. But I learned quickly, and they weren't convinced. They kept asking for more and more difficult things, so I just kept learning more and more."
Everyone: “???”
Forget it, they don’t understand the world of geniuses.
Xu Qing looked at the water in front of him thoughtfully and asked, "Were you afraid that I would splash water on your face?"
Gu Yueshuang: "Why did you throw water on me? Do you believe me when I say I learned this in my previous life?"
Xu Qing: "I tend to believe this statement."
Gu Yueshuang: “?”
But language skills are not something you learn in your previous life!
"We're no longer friends." Gu Yueshuang snorted, concentrating on playing games and ignoring them.
Gu Yang came over with the information of the same group and said, "Our group is not difficult, but the difficulty of the quarterfinals may not be low."
Fang Butao: "Good boy, several other teams feel the same way."
Gu Yueshuang: “?”
After all, they are the No. 1 seed. Do the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds look down on them so much?
Lin Yanqiu: "After all, the third seed in our group is from LCK."
Xu Qing: "And the second seed European region...how come the difficulty isn't high?? Isn't this the death group?"
Gu Yang said calmly, "If you want to win the championship, you have to defeat every opponent. Is it okay to say it's not difficult?"
Everyone: “…”
Fang Butao: "So you know why no one is optimistic about you? Including the LPL audience, they all think you can just get through the group stage."
Gu Yueshuang suppressed her smile and said, "What else is there to talk about? Let's train."
Zhou Yao muttered, "Fortunately, I'm playing the game for myself, otherwise I'd be pissed off by this crowd."
Gu Yang said, "After you finish this game, stop for a while and let's have a small meeting."
Several people held a meeting about the teams they would face in the group stage, mainly to discuss the hero pool for the BP of other teams in the same group. The players might need to quickly master certain heroes temporarily.
Another important point is that the group stage is BO1, with one game deciding the winner, but LPL does not have BO1, only BO3 and BO5.
BO1 is always full of uncertainty, and any outcome is possible.
What's more, there are version changes. There will be significant changes before each World Championship. Teams that cannot adapt to these changes may lose in the World Championship.
This is also one of the reasons why many favorites to win the championship failed in the World Championship.
Gu Yueshuang: "The mid laner seems to have been strengthened. Does the official look down on me?"
Lin Yanqiu was speechless for a while, then said, "AD has been nerfed..."
Gu Yueshuang comforted him, "It's okay, be more confident. The harder you chop, the more it tests your control and reaction."
She suddenly woke up: "Wait, this is not good for me... Strengthening the mid laner will actually narrow the gap in the mid laner. Doesn't that make it harder for me to gain a big advantage?"
Qin Ye is extremely realistic: "If the mid laner can't play a big advantage, I won't go to the middle lane."
Gu Yueshuang: "...you've always let me go as I please!!"
Other people's mid lanes are all double lanes, but hers is always a single lane. When she asks where the jungler is, he is just farming.
When other people's mid laner carries, the jungler rushes over immediately to expand the advantage; when she carries the jungler, it means that you are very good and don't need me anymore, just play by yourself.
When someone else's mid laner is at a disadvantage, the jungler will rush over immediately to help stabilize the situation in the middle lane; when she is at a disadvantage, the jungler will say there is no hope and you should just stay AFK under the tower.
Just thinking about it makes me cry.
Although this is indeed the best way for them to win POG, Gu Yueshuang always feels a little unhappy.
Gu Yang said, "But our strategy needs to be adjusted. If the AD is weakened too much, we might not be able to gank the bottom lane at level 2."
This will have an impact on both the top and bottom lanes. Previously, Qin Ye would gank the bottom lane at level 2 to liberate the bottom lane, and then the support would go out to roam (help the top and jungle), helping POG expand their advantage and snowball to win the game.
You basically don’t have to worry about the middle lane, and the opponent may even need to worry more about it.
The ID Frost alone is enough to make people feel oppressive.
Gu Yueshuang said reluctantly: "Actually, I can also provide support."
She prefers to stay in the lane, but she is willing to make sacrifices for the team.
Gu Yueshuang suddenly had an idea and said, "I have a good idea. As long as I play hard enough in the middle lane, won't the opponent be forced to come to the middle lane to support? According to the theory of relativity in the canyon, I rounded up and supported the other lanes."
This is the best support Gu Yueshuang can think of.
Qin Ye was very realistic: "Not enough mana."
Unless she kills the opposing mid laner twice at the start of every game, this kind of support is too unrealistic - especially when the mid laner is strengthened.
Gu Yueshuang thought about it, patted Lu Minghao on the shoulder and said, "Then let's change our thinking. We can fight alone like in the casual game."
Gu Yang's veins popped out, and he knocked her on the head with an empty plastic bottle: "Show me some team spirit!"
Gu Yueshuang covered her head and yelled back, "Don't hit me so hard that I'm stupid."
Gu Yang snorted coldly: "Be serious."
Gu Yueshuang said seriously, "Actually, I'm not wrong. The difficulty we're facing right now is that the strength of the top and bottom lanes is unstable, so the mid and jungle are busy filling the gap. But now that the mid lane has been strengthened, the gap between us will be narrowed. The mid lane no longer has the same suppressive power as before, so we just need to focus on training the top and bottom lanes."
Qin Ye nodded silently.
Lin Yanqiu also said: "We can't avoid the problem. Our POG team members' ability to withstand pressure is not a problem, right?"
Lu Minghao: "I will try my best."
Yang Lin: "Me too..."
Yang Lin is currently the biggest variable in their team.
Or perhaps Lin Yanqiu's physical condition is a bomb buried in their team, and no one knows when it will explode.
In order to avoid this, they had to let Yang Lin practice in every game, but this would also have a greater or lesser impact on the state of the others.
These are inevitable.
Fang Butao worriedly reminded Lin Yanqiu again: "If you feel unwell, you must report it first. We have suffered losses here before and cannot make the same mistake again."
Lin Yanqiu smiled apologetically: "Okay, I will."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Gu Yueshuang patted the table and said, "Everyone, don't be too stressed. Too much pressure can easily lead to problems. At least you don't have to be afraid of the pressure of public opinion. I will give up the games I can't win. That way, everyone will just scold me."
Gu Yang glanced at her: "Don't have such thoughts, it's easy to get into trouble. How do you judge whether it is hopeless?"
Gu Yueshuang explained, "I'm not saying we're going to give up. We're usually very aggressive, so when we're at a disadvantage, we have to be even more daring and create opportunities, looking for chances to break open... But we don't always succeed. If we win, it's a show of genius, and if we lose, it's just giving up."
Gu Yang: “…”
Seeing the admiring looks from the children, Gu Yueshuang quickly warned them, "Don't follow my lead, little ones. You should first develop your mental endurance. If you're not afraid of being scolded, you can do this, but if you become timid after losing once, I suggest you never have the same mindset as me."
Gu Yueshuang looked at Yang Lin seriously, "Especially in the AD position, the first thing you have to ensure is your own survival. Only by staying alive can you output damage. You have to stay until the end and take over the game. Anyone can give up, but you can't."
Lin Yanqiu said with a chuckle, "She doesn't play AD carry, so don't listen to her. Choose the most advantageous strategy for your team in every wave of operations. For example, if attracting aggro can draw out most of the opponent's skills while ensuring the survival of your own damage dealer, then you can go for it."
Gu Yueshuang: “…”
Yang Lin: “…Okay.”
Why do I have the illusion of being lectured by my parents?
Lin Yanqiu continued, "Of course, I'll explain the scoring process to you in detail. But when you go to give away the ball, you have to make sure your teammates are dealing damage and are capable of harvesting… If your teammates are all running away, you'd better not give away the ball."
Xu Qing: "It depends on who your teammates are, whether it's worth it for you to give up... If my AD carries on giving up, it will be difficult for me to deal with it."
Lin Yanqiu started boasting as usual: "If the mid lane AD is Frost, there will be no problem."
Qin Ye: "..."
No one cares about the life and death of the jungler?
Gu Yueshuang suddenly asked, "Do you think we can draw the number one seed from LCK in the quarterfinals draw?"
Everyone: “???”
Danger!
POG's opening game is against the third seed of LCK, and both sides are under great pressure.
Gu Yang said, "Yang Lin won't be allowed to play in the group stage, but you also need to maintain your form. You'll definitely have a chance to play in the quarterfinals, so be prepared."
Yang Lin: "Okay."
Gu Yueshuang said: "This LCK mid laner seems to be very powerful."
Lin Yanqiu sighed, "Their AD is also very stable, so they might not be easy to catch."
Gu Yueshuang watched their game videos over and over again and said, "Hey, why are we ganking the bottom lane? Let's support the jungler."
Xu Qing asked: "Dragon Girl and Iron Man? It seems that they can't play after the version change."
Gu Yueshuang shook her head: "No, we're raising a jungler. It's a BO1, so let's make it exciting. Let Brother Yao play top lane, and then all of us except the support can be the boss. Let's make it exciting, exciting to the end."
This proposal was unanimously approved by the team members: "I think it's OK!"
Gu Yang: “……?”
I don't think it's possible.
