In the first two match days of the World Championship, the LPL team and the Korean team tied 2:2, and the third match day seemed particularly deserted because there was no China-Korea battle.

The 2-0 WDG team had no pressure against the 0-2 Taiwan FLS team. In this game they rotated again, using the combination of Lin Mi and Hua Shuran, focusing on the top, mid and jungle rhythm, and still won easily. The huge gap in strength made the FLS team, which wanted to take revenge on the LPL, lose convincingly.

As for the other three lpl teams, DZG team quickly adjusted their status and defeated the strong enemy, the European No. 1 seed HOT team, and HOT team defeated the Korean No. 4 seed team. The three teams had the same points and it was the most tense group. It is currently unclear which two teams can qualify, but judging from the status on the third game day, the Korean No. 4 seed will have a more difficult time.

The ZY team was also worthy of the title, ranking first in the group with a record of 3:0 in the first round. Even if they lost to the PAO team in the second round, they still had the opportunity to play an extra game to qualify for the first place in the group.

However, the LBG team lost again and ranked third in the group with a record of 1-2 in the first round.

LBG team is the fourth seed team of lpl. The audience's expectations of them are not that high, but losing two consecutive games has brought them a lot of public pressure. There are even comments like "It's better to let XY team play."

The other three teams in lpl are already trying their best to help LBG, but everyone knows that LBG's problems cannot be solved in a short time.

Their biggest problem is...

The hero pool is too shallow.

LBG team is a team with a relatively simple strategy. The core of their team is the top laner and jungler. They rely on them to set the pace in the early stage, while the double Cs develop slowly and drag the game to the later stage for team fights.

The problem with this style of play is that once their team's top and jungle rhythm is bad, there will be no support point in the mid-term, and it is easy to drag the game to the late stage and let the double C take over.

The LBG team itself knows where its problems lie, but they have been using this tactic for too long. When practicing heroes, each player will deliberately choose heroes that are highly compatible with this tactic. This results in the LBG team players having a relatively shallow hero pool, and they play the same heroes over and over again.

So they clearly knew that if they wanted to defeat the strong, they had to come up with a more powerful lineup, but unfortunately the players were not proficient in the heroes and did not have time to adapt to the new system. They had to continue on this path even though they knew it was a dead end.

As the former captain of the LBG team, Maobing was very anxious.

The WDG team has reached this point today, and the players have a very high level of control over the game. They don't need him to keep holding their ears and explaining vision and rhythm to them like when he first joined the team, so the focus of his work has shifted from supervising training to researching new tactics.

The more he researched, the more he realized how big the problems of the LBG team were.

The WDG team actually did not hide their new tactics and used them in daily training games. As for how much other teams can learn, it depends on their ability.

But not every team has this ability.

Many of the tactics that the WDG team can use are very unconventional.

This is because the hero pools of the two veteran players in the top and mid positions of the WDG team are too deep, and there is also Lin Mi, a free man with no fixed mindset.

Lin Mi practices heroes differently from other players. He practices whatever hero the tactics require, whether it's ADC, support, or even mage heroes. He now knows several so that he can be sure of not being able to use the mage core when he needs to attack the bottom lane.

Lin Mi's situation is very special. He is the type who is broad-minded but not specialized. He can do everything, but if he is asked to perform delicately to the point of showing off, he cannot do it.

What he can do is to maximize the purpose of every hero he brings out.

For example, when he played against the XBG team, he picked Kalista, the purpose was to protect Gale who had no displacement and loved to rush, so what he had to do was to grasp the timing of using the ultimate skill, not give the opponent any chance, and steadily deal the damage he should deal.

Lin Mi has a good mentality, he never blindly pursues carry, because he knows that his double C will do it well, and what he has to do is to become a support for his teammates and create space for them to carry.

As long as we can win the game, it doesn’t matter who has better stats or who is the MVP.

His teammates knew what he did, and that was enough.

"Roll, I want to ask you something,"

Maobing approached Roll, who was busy simulating the BP, and hesitated, but still spoke through gritted teeth, "Can we play another training match with LBG?"

Roll looked up at the clock on the wall in surprise.

It's almost midnight now.

"Playing a training match at this time?" Roll asked in surprise, "Doesn't the LBG team have to play the second round of the group stage tomorrow? Don't they want to rest early today?"

Mao Bing lowered his head and said, "You know their current situation. If they can't win two games tomorrow, they won't even be qualified for the extra games and will be eliminated directly. So they must train very hard today."

Roll poked his head towards the brightly lit training room. All six players were there. He nodded and said, "Sure. We don't have a game tomorrow. It's okay to play with them a little later. Just let them go online."

Mao Bing didn't move. He seemed a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Does LBG have any special requirements?"

Rigorous and keen to detect that something is wrong.

If it was just a matter of playing a few more training games, there would be no need for Maobing to worry so much. After all, playing rank is also training, and playing training games is also training. There is no harm in it for them, and they are very happy.

But Maobing looked very embarrassed, and it was obvious that he had other things on his mind. Only Roll, who was so carefree, would not notice that.

Mao Bing gritted his teeth and said, "They hope that we can imitate the play style of their opponent tomorrow and help them try out the lineup they have in mind, including the BP part."

Roll realized something was wrong at this point: "We need to do BP in the training match? What do you mean? Are we supposed to simulate BP with them?"

Generally, there are no bans in training matches, and there are no requirements for lineup selection. Everyone can practice what they want. The LBG team is now making such a request, not because they want to play a training match, but because they want to find a sparring partner.

Maobing knew that this request was excessive. It was normal for everyone to train each other, but it was inappropriate to let the WDG team, which was also preparing for the next game, serve as sparring partners at this time.

But he knew that the LBG team had no other choice, otherwise they would never have come to him for help.

So he finally spoke up, saving face for his former club and the kids he brought up. He hoped that the LBG team could hold on a little longer and that the younger generation could at least try to play a bo5 game.

Maobing was mentally prepared to be rejected. He thought that if Roll did not agree to be a sparring partner, then they could just play the training match normally, which would at least allow the LBG team to practice the new tactics more. However, he did not expect Roll to stand up directly.

Roll put his arm around Mao Bing's shoulders and led him to the training match: "Let's go and ask the kids for their opinions."

In the training room, the players of WDG team are playing rank.

For this year's World Championship, Riot set up a dedicated server in City H. In addition to the players participating in the competition, qualifications were also issued to many high-scoring players from the national server. The server is strictly managed and "actors" are absolutely not allowed to appear.

Therefore, during the World Championship, all players played ranked games in this server, where the game quality was high and the queue speed was fast.

When I played on the Korean server in the past, the 10-game rank training a day usually took until 1 or 2 o'clock. But on the dedicated server, it can be completed around 12 o'clock every day.

When Roll and Maobing came in, of the six players of the WDG team, only the unlucky Jifeng was still in the ranking. The others had already finished their training and were calculating their own data for the day.

This is the requirement of the coaching team, so that players can learn to analyze their own conditions, which will help them better adjust problems.

"Guys, are you tired today?" Roll asked with a smile.

Everyone on the WDG team turned around and looked at him, their eyes filled with questions like "Are you sick?"

They don't have any games today. Apart from a training match scheduled for the afternoon, they have been playing rank games. It's only a little after 11 o'clock now. Is there any point in asking if they are tired?

Seeing no one responded, Roll cleared his throat awkwardly: "Ahem, well, how about playing a few more training games with LBG now?"

Lin Mi picked up his phone and checked the time, then asked, "LBG's new tactics are ready, do you need a sparring partner?"

If it was just a normal training match, Roll would have agreed directly and there would be no need to come and ask for their opinions.

Roll gave Lin Mi a thumbs up in approval——

It’s great to have a smart, considerate baby on the team!

"Would you like to do a BP simulation?" Lin Mi was very interested. "I'm currently studying the BP of the Korean team. I can help."

This is also his personal hobby. Usually he will divide himself into two thinking modes and bring each side into simulation bp. Today, the coaching staff of other teams came to play this game with him, and he was very happy.

Knowing her boyfriend's special hobby, Rong Zezhou agreed immediately: "You can play, it's a good opportunity to try out the tactics of other teams."

Brother Hai calmly picked up the thermos cup and took a sip: "It's still early in the night, and it's not time for the elderly to go to bed yet, so we can make an appointment. It's just in time for me to try out Lilia in the top lane. The BP in Europe and America is quite interesting."

Good boy Hua Shuran didn’t quite understand, but when his teammates said it was okay, he nodded obediently.

Zhuoyang looked left and right in confusion, then raised his hand to ask, "I can play anything, but when I was ranking just now, I saw the jungler in Europe playing Ivern, can I also--"

"Don't even think about it," Roll refused decisively. "I'm asking you to help with practice, not to mess with the mentality of your own team. Play seriously!"

Zhuoyang: Oh.

Ji Feng who is still playing rank: I kill, I kill, I kill, push quickly, I want to play a training match!

Mao Bing was somewhat touched and bowed to everyone: "I'm sorry to have delayed your rest time. Thank you for your willingness to help."

Zhuoyang smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to thank us. Just let LBG treat us to crayfish after the World Championship."

Lin Mi also smiled slightly: "Actually, we are not just helping."

Everyone else in the training room turned to look at him.

Lin Mi said mysteriously: "I think this should be considered an investment. We will get a return in the near future."

When the knockout stage begins, LPL teams that may become rivals will no longer arrange training matches, and by then, they will lack opponents for practice.

What if they go further than the LBG team? The LBG team shouldn't be so heartless as to give them a holiday right where they are, right?

They will serve as sparring partners in three matches today, and perhaps in the future they will have a very loving sparring team.

…

From the simulated BP to the pushing of the main crystal, the WDG team played three complete training games with the LBG team, which were no different from the official games.

During the third practice match, under Roll's instructions, the players of the WDG team completely regarded themselves as the No. 1 seed team in the Vietnam Division in the same group as LBG.

The biggest characteristic of this team is that they are reckless and have no idea how to operate. They will fight whether they are leading or lagging behind.

The WDG team also fully implemented this point, no coordination, no operations, just fighting.

However, the one they got was Lin Mi who was not good at fighting.

Lin Mi was completely satisfied. He let himself go completely, not caring about anything. He played in the same way as that Vietnamese ADC who had an advantage but a disadvantage. He rushed forward when he saw people, and beat himself 2-8 in one game.

The performance of others was not much better.

After enduring the long and torturous first two games, the LBG team finally won a satisfying victory. A training match allowed them to play with the momentum of the finals, and they happily high-fived each other after winning.

In the corridor outside the training room, the coach of the LBG team was calling Roll to thank him.

"Roll, you guys are always there to help us in the most critical moments. Thank you very much. Our players are in very good shape now and will definitely perform well tomorrow."

Roll still smiled heartlessly: "Okay dear, do your best tomorrow, remember to give me a good review——"

His tour guide said that the service attitude should be good, after all, one might need help in the future.

LBG team coach: …

Although he was grateful, it didn't stop him from thinking that Roll was a psycho.

If I give a good review, will I get cash back for the good review?

LBG team did not let WDG team's hard training go to waste. In the second day's game, they went against their usual practice and came up with a more advantageous BP set from the hero pool they could control. Although they still lost to the second seed team in South Korea, they defeated the other two teams.

In the extra game, they won decisively and secured the first place in the quarterfinals for LPL.

The WDG team members who watched the whole process in the training room had the mentality of an old mother, and then it was their turn to perform.

The first round was 3-0, and the second round was still 3-0.

The WDG team used their absolute strength to tell everyone why they are the number one seed team in this year's lpl.

Didn’t the Japanese team say that their weak strength was entirely due to bp?

Then they will let everyone see clearly that they are the strongest in terms of both strength and BP.

On the third day of the group round-robin, the DZG team also scored 3:0. Having regained their confidence, they once again faced the fourth seed of South Korea. They selected their best lineup and easily won, qualifying as the first in the group.

The Korean fourth seed continued its sluggish state since the third day of the competition, and once again lost to the European first seed HOT team in the same group. It finally ranked third in points and became the first Korean team to be eliminated.

However, the elimination of the fourth seed of South Korea was not the most shocking. On the fourth day of the competition, the ZY team, which ranked first with a 3:0 in the previous round, suddenly replaced the substitute support player in the second round of the group round-robin game, but lost three games in a row. In the extra game with the second seed team of Europe with the same points, they fought for 50 minutes and finally ended their world championship journey with 4 consecutive losses.

The fans of lpl were so angry that they started cursing, but at this time the support player of ZY team was lying in the operating room.

He had a stomachache before the game started, but he kept it to himself for fear of affecting the competition. While he was resting and waiting, the coach of the ZY team noticed that he was covered in cold sweat and his lips were white from the pain. Only then did he realize something was wrong and quickly called the doctor from the organizer.

The doctor diagnosed that he had acute appendicitis and immediately called an ambulance to take him to the hospital, but the ZY team could not accompany him because they had to play a game.

The substitute player of ZY team is a kid transferred from the second team to train. He mainly follows to learn and has hardly participated in training games. When he was temporarily substituted in, he has already tried his best.

But this is the World Championship, and every team should not be underestimated. The ZY team, which lost its main commander, persisted until the last moment, but still lost regretfully. It can only be said that it was fate and time.

Fortunately, the ZY team has always been optimistic. Even though they were unwilling, they still said goodbye to everyone in a free and easy manner, and then rushed to the hospital together to accompany their support.

The lpl audience cursed for several hours, and there were conspiracy theories among black fans that they were involved in gambling. Then, after a spectator who arrived late and happened to see the ambulance posted a photo of the ZY team's support being carried into the ambulance, the ZY team's official blog also issued an announcement. Everyone immediately stopped cursing and started praying for the players instead.

If you lose the game, you can come back next year. The health of the players is the most important.

Lin Mi used the official Weibo account to repost the ZY team's microblog about the support player's illness, and then said with emotion: "Esports fans are really amazing. They praise the team to the sky when they win, and curse them madly when they lose. But when a player has an accident, they are especially protective of their children."

"Because most e-sports fans are very innocent," Roll also said with emotion, "Although it's a pity for Team ZY, at least they were sent to the hospital in time and the players are fine now. It's a pity, I also wanted to see four LPL teams in the semi-finals."

Rong Zezhou snorted: "Then go to sleep, you can dream about anything."

Roll waved his fist at Rong Zezhou and bluffed: "I'm warning you, the substitutes of the ZY team are not useful, but the substitutes of our team are very useful! Recently, Xiaomi's magician has become more and more skilled. If you keep arguing with me, you will go to the water dispenser in the next game."

Rong Zezhou was too lazy to pay attention to Roll and turned to look at Lin Mi: "Will you go to the coin toss after the lottery ceremony?"

Lin Mi immediately shook his head: "I won't go. My luck is not good at all. Let Ji Feng go."

Ji Feng, who was suddenly called out, looked confused:?

"At the last carnival, you were picked out of all the audience. You must be very lucky."

Lin Mi reached out and patted Ji Feng on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, as long as you can win the throw."

The small shoulders bear the heavy burden of the wind:? ?

Help, why is it me again!
