I really didn't choose randomly

After winning the Spring Championship, Yunge gave ig players a few days off, but due to the impact of the epidemic, the players still had to stay at the base and were unable to go out for a walk.

But Yunge did not arrange training tasks for them. Although this year's MSI has been confirmed to be cancelled, the LPL and LCK event officials decided to jointly host an online mid-season championship cup.

Participated by the top four of the Spring Split, it is similar to the Asian Championship in previous years, except that the team from Wanwan is missing. But normally, they are also here to make soy sauce, and Wanwan stands out for participating.

In addition to skt and Samsung, the participating teams in lck this time have two new faces. One is the dark horse dwg of the spring split. The players on this team are basically new faces to lck.

Although the performance of the dwg team in the playoffs was not very good, the talents of their mid-range and top players are visible to the naked eye, and wdg's playing style is biased towards fighting, which is incompatible with the atmosphere of the entire division, and is even called lck ig.

.

If there is a chance, this Mid-Season Champions Cup will see Li Kui beat Li Gui. Is lck ig as good as ig?

Another team in lck was renamed from the former kz team. The star player in their team is chovy, the mid laner of grf. In one episode, Mr. Dai returned to lck for many years.

Looking at the lineup of the top four of the LCK, except for the new faces in dwg, the others are basically old acquaintances. This also reflects the lack of success in the LCK division to a certain extent.

Compared with the LPL, where newcomers are constantly emerging, the LCK has become a nursing home, and every player can be called a living fossil of e-sports.

As for the LPL, the oldest player is probably Rookie. He debuted in S4 and is now considered a veteran of the LPL's current professional players. There are not many older players than him.

However, as he gets older, Rookie's status does not seem to be affected too much by heroes, especially this season, Rookie's performance has completely surpassed all mid laners in LPL.

Rookie's performance makes all the young players in the LPL feel ashamed. I don't know since when, the word "old and strong" can be used for rookie.

The LPL finals ended in early May, and the Mid-Season Champions League started at the end of May. During these half a month, the ig players had a very leisurely time.

It wasn't until a week before the start of the game that Yunge arranged training tasks for the players. However, although the players were relaxed, Yunge was pulled into a small group by Hongmi coach and others to discuss tactics.

There are only four people in the group. Apart from Coach Yunge and Coach Hongmi, the other two are Coach War Horse from FPX and Little Zhuge from TES, Bai Yueya.

"Welcome the Spring Split Champion Coach!"

"Welcome the Spring Split Champion Coach!"

"1"

Since Yun Ge was the last one to enter the group, as soon as he entered, he saw three other middle-aged people teasing him again, although Yun Ge could hear a hint of envy in their voices.

But seeing that they were all defeated by him, Yun Ge didn't care about them and sent an emoticon of Ah Shui holding a cup as an emergency response.

Seeing this, Hongmi's coach couldn't help but express his envy in the group, "IG's player configuration is really strong. The core of the three lanes can quickly adapt to any tactics."

Although Yun Ge doesn't know how Coach Hongmi manages to chat fluently in Chinese, but thinking about it, he has been in LPL for four or five years, so there must be no problem communicating in Chinese.

Hearing the Hongmi coach express that the ig players are strong, a smile flashed across Yun Ge's lips, and he also started teasing to counterattack, "How about exchanging Xiao Leyan for Kanavi?"

"Should we change? This is the champion jungler of the Spring Split!"

Hearing what Coach Yunge said, Coach Hongmi was stunned. He had never seen such a shameless person who could say such things.

If the Hongmi coach really trades Kanavi for Xiao Leyan, he will be criticized by netizens tomorrow. Although it seems that the champion jungler is replaced by the runner-up jungler, the performance of the two players in the finals is obvious to all.

But before Coach Hongmi could say anything, Xiao Zhuge started to make noises. He really likes to cause trouble.

"Change, if it were me, I would definitely change. I won the championship in the first year of my debut. Xiao Leyan has a bright future."

Coach Hongmi rolled his eyes in the group. Then Xiao Zhuge chose to climb up the pole and actually wanted to take advantage of the ig players.

"I would like to ask by the way, how much is Ah Shui's transfer fee? We plan to have a strong AD player in the summer split, and I think Ah Shui is good."

"I bought it to partner with my left hand. I've already thought of a name. Let's call it Sailor Group. What do you think? Make an offer?"

This time it was Yun Ge's turn to roll his eyes, and he replied directly, "Don't ask, you can't afford it. Principal Wang is bleeding heavily this year, and IG requires grades, so don't worry about it."

"Damn it, is there any justice? Isn't it true that this season I'm not even qualified to drink soup?"

When Bai Yueya heard that ig had won the Spring Split championship and still had results, the expression on his face became a little more depressed. He felt that the current tes could not beat ig no matter what.

The Hongmi coach's face was also a bit solemn. Although this was a division match, the schedule had changed. In previous years, the division as a whole competed, and everyone gained and lost.

However, this year they did compete in groups, that is, they fought independently. However, due to the friendship formed in previous years, the four coaches in the LPL division still chose to discuss tactics together.

Of course, I will definitely have some reservations, and I will not expose all my trump cards. At most, I will discuss how to deal with the LCK team and the strong heroes in the version.

"How about we discuss the mid-season version of the lineup first?"

Seeing that the other three coaches were making jokes, Zhan Ma, an honest man who had been diving, chose to end the farce and bring the conversation back to normal.

"Actually, this version has not changed much from the Spring Split. I think we should pay attention to the hero ez. Not only has there been a wave of small enhancements, but LCK's ADCs are all masters of ez."

Coach Hongmi was the first to express his understanding of the current version. As long as it does not involve JDG's tactical issues, he feels that there is nothing worth retaining when discussing tactics with other coaches.

"Yes, the performance of this version of ez plus cats is very strong, the winning rate in the rankings is very high, and the ability to control the game in the later stage is very strong."

Coach Zhanma immediately chose to echo Coach Hongmi. He also felt that ez’s choice might become a key hero in this mid-season, and even named the support cat.

However, Yun Ge quickly poured cold water on the other three coaches. Although Ah Shui played ez very well and was considered one of his natural heroes, the priority of ez as a hero in ig was too low.

Seeing that other coaches were working hard, Yun Ge didn't hide it and directly pointed out the problem of the combination of ez and cats.

"This bottom lane combination is indeed good at saving lives and outputting damage in team battles, but the lane is too weak, and it is easy to be targeted. Once you choose a hard support and strong control and jump directly over the tower, ez plus cat will have no power to fight back.

.”

"But if you want to compete with the LCK team for development, you can still choose this combination. Anyway, their bottom lane is not very strong in the lane."

After listening to Yunge's words, the other three coaches suddenly felt sad because these three teams had more or less problems with their bottom lane.

"That's because you have Ah Shui. If you give Ah Shui to me, I can ignore heroes like ez."

Hearing that Yun Ge was filling the cup again in the group, Bai Yueya finally couldn't help but complain that he was really greedy for Ah Shui now. He had a vague feeling in his heart that Ah Shui might be the last piece of ig's championship puzzle.

The bottom lane duo of tes and jdg lacks Kerry's ability, and fpx's ad player lwx is indeed not weak in ability, but his status fluctuates too much. If he is in good shape, he will be strong, and if he is not, he will be weak.

Hearing Yun Ge mention his laning ability again, they once again envy the ig team's luxurious lineup, with Ah Shui in the bottom lane. No wonder ig doesn't pay attention to the hero ez at all.

It's just that the other three coaches chose to be cautious at this time. From the tone of coach Yunge, it seems that he doesn't pay much attention to the combination of ez and cats. If he really encounters ig later, maybe he can try to target it from this point.

However, the three people from Hongmi quickly realized that not only did ig not pay enough attention to ez, but the strong version of Aphelios was also a piece of cake in front of ig.

By the late spring split, Aphelios, who had been banned before, had been removed from ig's ban by coach Yun Ge, because ig had proved through games that they could indeed cope with Aphelios' lineup.

Thinking of this, they became even more unhappy. Although the game had not started yet, these three coaches seemed to feel that the championship trophy was already far away from them.

In the following exchanges, the four coaches all felt that they had gained a lot, and they also made an appointment for a training match. In the week before the start of the game, the four teams were basically fighting against each other.

Jdg has the heaviest task in training games because they are responsible for simulating LCK's lineup and operating rhythm. Only jdg can do this because ig and tes are reckless men who like to fight, and fpx's tactical system comes from doinb

, it is difficult for other teams to imitate.

After several days of communication in training matches, the other three coaches’ evaluation of the ig players’ strength has not changed, but coach Yunge’s BP is really bad.

During the previous games, Yunge's BP had been criticized many times by netizens, but in the training games, ig's lineup was even more impressive.

Although Yunge said he was not optimistic about ez plus cats, in order to cooperate with the training of other teams, ig also chose ig several times, and the results were very good.

Ah Shui's ez is difficult to target in the early stage of development, and there is basically no pressure to output in team battles in the later stage. A hero with flexible output like ez is really suitable for Ah Shui, and Sapphire's cat is also very strong.

In a sense, choosing a cat for Baolan will strengthen ig to a certain extent. Baolan who plays soft assistant is still very trustworthy.

After seeing Ah Shui's strong performance of ez, and then thinking about coach Yunge's disdain for ez before, the teeth of the other three coaches were finally sore.

For the viewers who didn’t watch the game, this half month was very difficult, but for the ig players, the time passed in the blink of an eye.

This is why online competition is better, it saves time on traveling. Without leaving home, ig players don't even feel the tension before the game.

Although I rested for half a month, the feel of ig players did not fluctuate much during this week's training match, because ig players were not idle every day.

Even though Yunge didn't arrange training tasks for them, during this period, ig players still played about ten ranked rounds every day, but they just didn't work as hard as usual.

After a week of training matches, Yunge felt that ig's current state was no different from the spring split, and they were fully prepared for the upcoming games.

At the end of May, the Mid-Season Champions Cup competition is coming as scheduled. The eight teams from the lpl and lck will be divided into two groups. After a round-robin competition, the top four will be determined, and then they will fight against each other.

As the top seeds, ig and skt were of course assigned to different groups. ig's group opponents were drx, Samsung and jdg, who just lost to ig in the finals.

After seeing this grouping, Coach Hongmi's face darkened. He felt vaguely that he might have to live in the shadow of ig this year.

In another group, skt's opponents are tes, fpx and dwg. Since the group stage only plays one round, the fault tolerance rate of bo1 games is very low, and no one knows whether it will overturn.

Especially the Bo1 of LPL teams often has problems. In the group matches of the World Championship, the teams in the LPL division are very uncomfortable with the Bo1 competition, and they often advance in second place.

On the contrary, lck, which is good at operations, is very stable in bo1 games, even more stable than the European division, which mainly focuses on bo1. The teams of lck were terrible in the group stage of the world championship.

But no matter what, the result of the game will not be known until the game is over. After waiting for more than half a month, the audience was a little impatient.

In particular, many people are very interested in the feud between ig and skt. Now everyone can see that ig has launched an attack on lol's triple crown. Once ig successfully wins the world championship this year, it means that ig will

Surpass skt and become the most legendary team.

Compared with SKT's triple crown, the value of consecutive title defenses is obviously higher, so no matter what, SKT will do its best to prevent ig from winning this year's world championship.

Although the current Mid-Season Cup competition has nothing to do with the world, as long as it can combat the arrogance of ig, it will be a good thing for skt. Unfortunately, after losing to ig in the world finals, skt, who returned to the lck division, was not affected.

Won the spring championship cleanly.

Therefore, we will not see the confrontation between ig and skt in the group stage. The audience can only look forward to the next knockout round, where ig and sk will have another fierce battle.

But the premise is that the two teams can successfully break through the group stage. Each group has four teams and plays three games in a cycle. That is, even if they win two games, they still have the possibility of being eliminated as long as they lose one.

If there are three 2-1 teams, then there will be a play-off. If a mistake is made, they will be eliminated. This may be the charm of bo1, and it is easy to cause an upset.
