LOL: All-around champion, peak at debut

When he took off his headphones, Faker scratched his hair.

He had actually thought of such an ending. Although it was just a regular season game, he was still a little sad.

Losing is acceptable, but it shouldn't be such a terrible loss.

The dark memories of the past surged into his mind like a wave, and finally, Faker sighed.

What can he do?

It's just facing the gap and trying to make up for it after returning.

During the handshake session, Lu Yun saw the helplessness in the eyes of the big devil, and he was quite emotional.

Looking back at this time, RNG also defeated Faker head-on in the group stage, and Xiaohu even did better than Lu Yun, because he also used Ahri and killed Faker's Tsar alone.

But in the semi-finals, SKT on the red side deliberately gave Ahri to Xiaohu, and countered with Fizz, which made Xiaohu breathless.

SKT, which was double-killed by RNG in the group stage, is constantly summarizing its own mistakes and constantly seeking innovation and change, while RNG, because of a temporary victory, is complacent and does not see any new tactical system in the entire BO5.

Not only does it not see any new tactical system, but it also uses the bottom lane combination of Braum + Tristana from last year's S game to fight against Karma + EZ.

They are complacent and unwilling to step out of their comfort zone, so they fail at the last minute and hand over the trophy to others at their doorstep.

S6 is like this, S7 is also like this, no wonder LPL has never achieved any results in the past few years.

How can there be any results?

In the three years when LPL has achieved results, except for IG's direct crushing by unparalleled personal skills, the remaining two years are all relying on tactical systems that opponents have never seen before, and defeating powerful opponents head-on.

Whether it is FPX or EDG, they are not complacent.

LWX, who had never used any Xayah in the previous games, directly grabbed Xayah in the most crucial game, proving to the world that he is also a top Xayah user.

EDG was the same, using five different lineups in the five BO5s with DK.

Jhin + Time, Card + Jayce, Viego, who was specially used to challenge Sanshu, and Kennen, who gave up Leblanc in the last game, was a famous scene that stepped out of his comfort zone.

What an excellent tactical reserve.

So, they created a miracle, and they brought glory and touching moments to LPL that year.

These memories always alerted Lu Yun, making him very clear that if he wanted to win all the way, he had to constantly seek change and innovation, and then practice makes perfect in the process of seeking change and innovation.

This is the way of the king.

In the interview with Korean media, Lu Yun still said that if SKT could adjust, they would still be a very strong opponent, and hoped that SKT could bring some new tactical systems in BO5.

The information that SKT was beaten by ANR in the regular season quickly became popular at home and abroad.

The first to be broken were naturally the LCK audience.

They had been looking forward to the revenge battle for half a year, but it ended in such a hasty way.

What exactly was broken and what was leaking in LCK?

Why is it that every time they encounter ANR, it is like a mouse encountering a cat.

When playing against teams from other LPL regions, they are full of vigor, but when playing against ANR, they immediately lose their temper.

[Maybe our SKT is hiding something new, maybe it's a plane ticket]

[What plane ticket, are they still qualified to book a plane ticket]

[Spending so much capital, but being abused like this]

[It's better to let ROX come]

[SKT, are you going to ruin Korean e-sports?]

[Why are you so passive every time you BP]

[The top lane is countered, the bottom lane is countered, and the jungle is entered at will, this is SKT's BP]

[I hope they can do their best in BO5]

Of course, in addition to criticizing SKT, there are also some voices praising ANR.

[The world champion is the world champion]

[Please welcome the next champion challenger]

[ANR has evolved, they beat us with a very conventional lineup]

The last comment reveals the biggest concern of LCK fans.

Yes, last year's ANR was able to defeat SKT by relying on an unexpected tactical system and an absolute counter in the top lane.

But in this game this year, ANR only used a very conventional lineup, even the lineup that SKT used in the LCK Spring Finals, and easily won SKT.

This is the most terrifying.

This shows one thing, ANR is stronger than last year.

They don't need to deliberately pursue tactical surprises, they can win with 16-2 record, sweeping SKT.

What if they suddenly release their ultimate in the BO5?

This is like a martial arts master who defeated the opponent who wanted to challenge him in the group stage with just his scabbard.

Originally, he could rely on this unique swordsmanship to continue to dominate the martial arts world without drawing his sword, but at the final decisive moment, he chose to suddenly draw his sword in front of the whole martial arts world!

How do you defeat him?

You have finally prepared a set of tactical systems, wanting to surprise them, but he is more unexpected than you.

A Korean e-sports blogger who has a deep understanding of the game told these LCK fans this figurative metaphor during the live broadcast, and these fans were shocked.

It is hard for them to imagine that in the LPL, which is full of Internet-addicted teenagers, there is such a genius who understands the ultimate thinking game.

Yes, this is why Lu Yun, as an LPL player, has a thinking ability far superior to that of the factory manager.

It's just that his former competitive talent didn't support him to join this field he loved so much, so he had no choice but to go against life.

And these excellent thinking games come from two words, reading.

After each victory, he can always think of some classic words in the book to summarize his victory, and then gain a sense of achievement in the successful practice of theory, and continue to sublimate his inner confidence.

At the same time, he can also think of some plots in the novel to alert this victory and suppress the impetuous heart of the young man.

Lu Yun, who couldn't put down the book, finished reading today and started to communicate with Hongmi.

The content of the communication is still focused on the new lineup system.

"In the next round of group matches, we can appropriately come up with some new lineups that are not the final trump cards to disrupt the thinking of their tactical analysts and make them make tactical misjudgments." Lu Yun said this while sitting next to Hongmi.

Hongmi immediately nodded in agreement, but also expressed his own opinion: "I agree with you, but this will add pressure to our teammates. Isn't it a bit too much?"

Hongmi's meaning is very clear, that is, do not expose any tactical system in the group stage, just use the lineup system that each team is most familiar with, win each team, and wait until the BO5 to release the ultimate move.

People's energy is limited. If you pursue the expansion of your own tactical system too much, it will inevitably result in "all but not refined", which is also not in line with the concept of e-sports.

Obviously, this is a collision of two sets of competitive concepts.
