The second time he put on his suit and got on the bus to the competition venue, Lin Mi's mentality had changed a lot compared to the first time.
After understanding the coaching staff's training intentions, he felt more at ease and more confident.
Along the way, Lin Mi counted on his fingers and talked to Rong Zezhou about the lineup that the LBG team might choose today, as well as the response methods he had thought of. Although it was still a little immature, it gave people a feeling of full confidence.
Maobing also came today. When he was not playing the game, he returned to his shy and socially anxious self. He sat in the last row, squeezed between Ji Feng and Zhuo Yang, trying hard to get himself out of the attack range of these two chatterbox kids.
Brother Hai and Roll were chatting and talking nonsense. Yan Jing frowned as they listened, and occasionally opened his mouth to correct the two's common sense mistakes.
Hua Shuran was leaning against the window and chatting on his cell phone. His expression was a little serious and he typed very quickly, as if he was arguing with someone. When the car stopped, he immediately put away his phone.
The pre-match debugging phase went smoothly. When everyone returned to the lounge to wait, Hua Shuran went out alone to answer a phone call, and did not come back until it was almost time to go on stage.
Lin Mi saw that the time was almost up, so he pulled Rong Zezhou out to look for someone. The two of them walked along the corridor to the emergency passage, and they heard Hua Shuran's voice talking on the phone.
Hua Shuran's voice was a little anxious, even with a hint of tears, as if he was arguing with someone. Lin Mi glanced at the time, then reached out and knocked on the door of the emergency passage.
There was an instant silence behind the door.
After a moment, Hua Shuran opened the door and walked out, his eyes slightly red and with a bit of grievance.
"Shu Ran, are you okay? It's almost time for the game." Lin Mi asked with concern.
Hua Shuran shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay, I have something to say to my family, let's go."
Lin Mi wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Rong Zezhou.
Rong Zezhou shook his head at Lin Mi——
The game is about to start, now is not the time to ask these questions.
Since it's not an urgent matter, let's talk about it after the game is over.
Coincidentally, the commentators for today's game were again the old partners Qingtian and Bihai. When they saw the WDG team members coming up to the stage to bow, Bihai said:
"Today, the assistant coach of WDG is still seek. The BP in the last game against CWG left a deep impression on everyone. It is said that it was the work of seek. I wonder if he will surprise everyone again today?"
Qingtian also joked: "I would really like to interview WDG team's head coach Roll. I wonder if he has a sense of midlife crisis when facing Seek? Of course, I'm talking about his figure and appearance."
Roll waved his fist at the commentary desk in dissatisfaction, saying that he had a very good figure and appearance. Lin Mi made a heart shape with his hands to the camera, which caused cheers from the audience.
Bi Hai sighed, "The audience in the front rows, yes, those girls wearing WDG team uniforms, please restrain yourself. Although the boat god is wearing noise-isolating headphones and can't hear you secretly calling Xiaomi wife, aren't you afraid that he will watch the replay when he gets home?"
Several girls held up the fluorescent boards in their hands to show the camera. On them were Q-version figures of Rong Zezhou and Lin Mi, and the four big words "Mizhou CP" were clearly visible.
Qingtian laughed: "I understand, I understand. We are all in the same boat, so were you just shouting for the ship god?"
The girls shouted loudly "No way", but raised the fluorescent boards in their hands higher.
While the commentators were interacting in a friendly manner with the audience, the players of the WDG team were also joking in their voice chat.
"Ayang, have you found a problem?"
Hai Ge was the first to stir up trouble, "Other teams are all hyping up the mid and jungle CPs, why are you so lacking in appearance?"
Zhuo Yang quickly avoided suspicion: "Coach Xiaomi, listen to me, I have never thought about hyping up a CP with your boat god, so can you give me a jungle core later? I want MVP."
"No, I want to c today,"
Rong Zezhou refused, "Coach, give him a pig girl."
Zhuo Yang had a question mark on his face: "Isn't Pig Girl the top laner in this version?"
Rong Zezhou said, "Oh," and said, "Then let's pick Sejuani in the top lane and Volibear in the jungle."
Roll said happily: "How about we get two more tanks in the bottom lane and play four protecting one mid laner?"
Lin Mi's eyes lit up: "I think it's okay."
The unsuspecting Ji Feng firmly objected: "No, I would rather choose Ashe than tank! ADC has dignity!"
Zhuo Yang spoke the truth: "I think you might as well play with meat than with ice."
Amid Ji Feng's protests, everyone on WDG burst into laughter; even the referee standing behind them was grinning like a flower.
"What is WDG laughing at?"
Bi Hai looked over curiously, "Could it be that the boat god said that if we win this game, we will do a cosplay live broadcast?"
Qingtian: "Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that the boat god had promised to broadcast live in the post-match interview. Does that mean the mime two days ago doesn't count?"
Bi Hai: "That day I heard that the Ship God was going to broadcast live, so I ran to watch it excitedly. I ended up watching the Ship God silently petting the cat! But I have to say that the cat of the WDG team, which is loved by the Ship God, is really good-looking. Didn't their official blog post a photo of the cat? It's wearing a snow-white little dress, it's really a little princess. Seeing it makes me want to raise one."
Backstage, Mao Bing had an indescribable look on his face.
He swore that when he made the skirt for Zhusha, he really didn't intentionally not ask its gender, he just didn't think too much about it.
Now, the whole world knows that the WDG team has a cat named "Princess".
Fortunately, Zhu Sha couldn't understand what people were saying, otherwise he would have scratched his face.
WDG's opponent today, LBG, is a team with relatively even strength in all aspects, which means they have no tactical weaknesses.
Therefore, when doing bp, it is difficult to attack one point like we did against CWG.
The result of the discussion between Lin Mi and Roll last night was that in the first game, on the blue side, they would first use the lineup they were good at, see the situation of the game, and then decide on the strategy for the next game.
The BP of both sides was done very quickly. WDG team got their best standard lineup of mid and jungle leading the tempo, strong laning in the bottom lane, and top laner resisting pressure. LBG team got two counter heroes in the top and jungle on the red side, and chose more conservatively in the mid and bottom lanes, preparing to drag the game into the late stage.
While rolling to shake hands with the LBG team coach, Lin Mi quickly reminded Hua Shuran: "Shuran, you have to pay more attention to the vision of the bottom half in this game. LBG's jungler is faster than Zhuoyang in clearing the jungle and may look for opportunities to gank the bottom lane. Be sure to have good vision when pushing the line."
However, Hua Shuran seemed not to hear it and did not respond.
"Shu Ran?" Lin Mi called out again.
Hua Shuran said "Ah" and repeatedly said: "Xiaomi, don't worry, I will fight well."
Lin Mi felt that Hua Shuran didn't hear what he just said, but the referee had already come over and urged him to leave the stage. He could only hurriedly say to Rong Zezhou, "Ship God, please take care of the bottom lane," then put down the headset and left the stage.
While walking in the contestant channel, Lin Mi looked back worriedly, but from this angle, he could not see the contestant's expression.
Roll stopped curiously and asked him: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Lin Mi didn't know whether Hua Shuran was willing to let others know about his family affairs, so he didn't say much, just shook his head and followed Roll back to the lounge.
At the beginning, everything seemed to be going as expected.
Ji Feng and Hua Shuran took advantage of their strong laning position to reach level 2 first and reduced the health of LBG team's ADC, and then pushed the line of soldiers in front of LBG's tower.
However, Lin Mi frowned.
When he just stepped down from the stage, he felt that Hua Shuran didn't hear what he said, and it turned out to be true.
Ji Feng and Hua Shuran pushed the line of troops so far forward, and even though they knew that Zhuo Yang was still farming the stone man, they did not provide vision in time, and the river was currently pitch black.
The LBG jungler, who had a faster jungle clearing speed, naturally would not miss this opportunity. He scanned all the way and went behind Ji Feng and Hua Shuran, but they were still pushing the line without knowing it.
double kill.
Zhenxin's level 3 gank directly killed Hua Shuran and Ji Feng, and both heads fell into the hands of LBG's adc.
"Shu Ran, keep a good view of the river." Rong Zezhou reminded.
The Galio he played only had the ability to quickly provide support and protection after reaching level 6 and obtaining his ultimate. He was caught in the bottom lane just now and was powerless to do anything.
Hua Shuran agreed, fixed his wards and walked straight to the river. However, the audience who were watching the game from a bird's eye view could see that the jungler and support of the LBG team had already been squatting at the entrance of the river waiting for him.
Hua Shuran fell down again, and because of his death, Ji Feng had no way to last hit in the bottom lane, so he was forced to retreat to the vicinity of the second tower, watching the three LBG players dismantle his plating.
"What happened to Shu Ran?"
Yan Jin's expression was solemn. "Just now, in the first wave, he had wards on his body but didn't take action in advance. Now he's trying to find a bush. We're playing a four-protect-one lineup. How can we defeat him if Ji Feng can't develop?"
Roll looked at Lin Mi: "Xiaomi, tell me, what's going on?"
Although roll looks careless and heartless usually, he is actually a very careful person. He has always remembered the time when Lin Mi looked back in the contestant channel just now. There were no outsiders in the lounge at this time, so he simply asked directly.
Lin Mi still shook his head: "I really don't know what happened. Just now when I told Shu Ran to keep his eyes open on the stage, I felt that he was a little absent-minded, so I was a little worried."
The coaching staff of the WDG team was at a loss, but the players on the field were comforting Hua Shuran.
"Don't panic in the bottom lane, wait for me to develop,"
Brother Hai said with a smile, "The opponent's top laner can't counter me at all, wait for the vanguard group to come and attack."
Zhuo Yang also said: "My my, I should go to protect you while you guys are pushing the line, don't worry, I will help you get revenge later."
Rong Zezhou calmly pushed a wave of soldiers over, then marked near the little dragon: "Their jungler is still near the little dragon. Shu Ran, the vision of the little dragon is not needed. Put in a few defensive wards to prevent them from taking the little dragon and surrounding it."
Hua Shuran agreed sullenly and obediently placed the ward at the entrance of the lower jungle area. Ji Feng hid behind Hua Shuran and slipped under the defensive tower, finally getting a wave of soldiers.
After Rong Zezhou retreated to the tower, he was thinking about the situation on the field while returning to the city.
At this moment, he especially hoped that Lin Mi was by his side to help him calculate whether this wave of vanguards could win given the difference in experience between the two sides.
Yes, it’s not the economy that’s bad, it’s the experience that’s bad.
The difference of 1,800 gold in economy did not make the team unable to fight, but the two waves of deaths of Hua Shuran and the two waves of soldiers that Ji Feng was forced to eat less caused their bottom lane duo to lose a lot of experience. If during the vanguard fight, LBG's bottom lane duo reached level 6 while Ji Feng and Hua Shuran could not reach level 6, then they would not be able to win this vanguard fight without two ultimates.
"Pioneer, let him go,"
Rong Zezhou made a difficult decision, "Ji Feng and Shu Ran don't need to come up, wait for them to return to the city, then you push the line and try to get two layers of plating."
If the vanguard hits a tower, two layers of plating will be knocked off. If Gale can take two layers of plating when the LBG team takes the vanguard, then losing the vanguard is not too much of a loss.
However, the experienced LBG team did not give WDG team the opportunity to exchange economy. Their support left the line alone, while the adc was still clearing the line under the tower.
Ji Feng and Hua Shuran, who have not reached level 6 and do not have their ultimates, cannot kill LBG's adc by crossing the tower. At the Rift Herald, due to the initial support of LBG's auxiliary, a 4 vs. 3 situation is formed.
Zhuoyang kept wandering around the river but couldn't find a chance to go in. However, Brother Hai ambushed Shiyi on the way to support the Rift Herald and took away most of Shiyi's health.
In order to prevent Zhuoyang and Rong Zezhou from stealing the vanguard, the midfielder, jungler and support of the LBG team did not dare to go over to support. Hai Ge relentlessly chased Shiyi all the way and beat him back to the tower, forcing Shiyi to give up his flash.
With low health, Shiyi didn't dare to stay under the first tower and retreated between the first and second towers. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to return to the city, Rong Zezhou suddenly rushed out from the jungle, controlled him and killed him instantly.
At this time, the mid, jungle and support of the LBG team, who had already obtained the Rift Herald, surrounded them angrily to avenge their top laner, but Rong Zezhou directly activated his ultimate skill, which landed on Brother Hai who was hiding not far away and waiting for support, marking a perfect ending.
"Nice! WDG's top and mid team cooperation was great. The position where the ship god ambushed was so essential."
Bi Hai exclaimed, "He left after his mission was completed, hiding his achievements and fame. With Galio, the God of Ships can play like an assassin."
Qingtian: "This wave of Ship God is indeed amazing, but killing a top laner is unlikely to solve the current problems of WDG team. LBG team still got the Rift Herald, and the bottom lane Swiftness only got one layer of plating. How to deal with the Rift Herald next is the key."
Rong Zezhou naturally knew what Qingtian said. Although this wave of killing looked fancy and beautiful, it actually failed to interrupt the rhythm of the LBG team.
Although Shiyi took the counter position in the top lane, it can be seen from the route that Zhenxin took to clear the jungle that the LBG team did not want to play in the top lane, so Zhenxin should put this Rift Herald in——
Bottom lane.
Rong Zezhou cut the view to the bottom lane. Their bottom lane defense tower only had three layers of plating left. Because LBG team's ADC got two kills in the early stage and had better equipment, Ji Feng didn't dare to be too aggressive in exchanging blood, so the line of soldiers was pushed towards their side.
"Zhuoyang, go protect the lower tower and go to the lane."
Rong Zezhou began to give orders to Zhuo Yang, and after pushing the line of troops, he walked towards the wild area.
In the WDG team's lounge, Lin Mi could clearly see from a bird's eye view that Zhenxin did not go to the bottom lane, but squatted in the bushes behind the dragon pit. The LBG team's mid laner also quietly followed behind Rong Zezhou. This time, the LBG team's target was not the bottom lane tower, but Rong Zezhou.
"Don't go, don't go," Roll kept muttering, "If Azhou is gone this time, the bottom lane tower will definitely be gone too, and we might be done for this game."
Roll's words are not alarmist. Their team's biggest reliance at the moment is Galio, who gained an advantage in the early laning phase and got a kill.
If Rong Zezhou was ambushed by the LBG mid and jungle, the WDG team, which lost the support of Galio's ultimate, would not be able to defend the bottom lane tower. Even if the three people under the tower did not retreat in time, they would be "encircled" by the LBG team.
Just when everyone was holding their breath and watching Rong Zezhou step by step into the trap, Rong Zezhou suddenly turned around on the spot, activated the W skill to taunt the LBG mid laner before he could react, and then threw a few punches at him, reducing the LBG mid laner's health to half, forcing him to retreat.
The hunter and the prey suddenly switched roles. The situation that was originally about the LBG team's mid and jungle surrounding Rong Zezhou suddenly turned into a one-on-one duel between the mid laners of both teams. Zhenxin saw that his mid laner was in a bad situation and rushed out to help. At this time, Rong Zezhou shouted in the voice: "Zhuoyang, kill them!"
The LBG team's bottom lane duo relied on their jungler being nearby and pushed the troops in front of the WDG team's tower recklessly. However, their mid laner was suddenly attacked and the jungler was lured away to help, leaving them behind.
When they saw the problem in the mid and jungle, they immediately wanted to retreat, but were stunned by Zhuoyang who came over from the line. Just when everyone was ready to cheer for the WDG team, Hua Shuran, who was supposed to take over the control, reacted a beat too slow.
It was this control time difference of less than one second that made LBG's ADC give up his flash, and then gave up his healing to himself and the auxiliary to speed up, and he actually slipped away from the hands of the three WDG players.
On the other side, Rong Zezhou was unable to fight two enemies alone, and had to use Flash to escape with his low health. Although the two sides fought fiercely in this wave, no one was killed.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that WDG team lost this time.
Rong Zezhou used his wonderful acting skills to create an opportunity for the bottom lane to fight back. If they could kill the LBG team's bottom lane duo just now, then the disadvantage in the early stage could be completely equalized. But if they failed to kill them -
Rong Zezhou sighed secretly in his heart as he returned to the city.
Just now Zhuoyang was controlled by flash, and Jifeng also used flash to keep up with the damage. Combined with his escape flash just now, the three of them flashed in exchange for the opponent's ADC's double skills, which was such a loss.
Not to mention that he doesn't have flash and can't interfere with LBG's vanguard again when they want to release it, even if they want to fight for the dragon later, it will be difficult for them to take it.
Hua Shuran bit his lip, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I was slow to react and didn't connect to the control."
Hua Shuran's voice trembled a little, "I——"
"Shu Ran, calm down."
Rong Zezhou interrupted Hua Shuran's apology and said, "The game has just begun. We have plenty of opportunities to turn things around. Don't be anxious. Don't worry about what has happened. Now, you just need to concentrate on protecting Ji Feng."
Even if there were mistakes, they would have to wait until the game was over and review them. Although they were at a big disadvantage now, it was not time to give up.
In the lounge, Hua Shuran's cell phone kept ringing.
At first, Lin Mi and others who were concentrating on watching the game didn't pay attention, but the person who called was persistent and kept calling.
While both sides were temporarily truce-bound, Lin Mi stood up and took Hua Shuran's cell phone. The phone showed that the caller was "Mom".
"Do you want to help Shu Ran answer it?"
Lin Mi looked at Roll, "His mother keeps calling, is there something urgent?"
Roll kept his eyes on the screen: "You answer the phone and tell her Shu Ran is in the game. If it's not urgent, wait until the game is over and let Shu Ran call her back."
Lin Mi nodded and pressed the answer button.
