LOL: This man is so strong!

In the OPT team, Crown's wrist pain improved after two weeks of training.

This time facing Li Hao, he used Victor, the hero he was very good at.

On Li Hao's side, he took out the Ice Girl.

The overall state of OPT is very poor, which is suitable for TSM's running-in tactics. Unlike the usual focus on the middle, it is their regular style in recent times to link up the center and jungle and play on the side. This is also preparation for S9 in advance.

With the current popularity of TSM, it is expected that they will be targeted in the S game.

Although OPT knew TSM's tactics, they did not respond effectively.

In just 14 minutes, TSM launched a continuous attack on the bottom lane of OPT, including four-for-two and five-for-two. Such tactical moves are extremely rare in the LCS, but TSM was able to execute them efficiently under Li Hao's command and dispatch. stand up.

This caused the bottom lane combination of Arrow and Big to suffer terribly. EZ and Glory were killed repeatedly, and they had no gaming experience.

Crown's Victor wanted to support, but the speed of the transition line could not keep up, and he kept getting dust behind Li Hao and Benji.

The support was not in place, and my own development was not able to keep up.

When a team battle broke out between the two sides, their equipment was already unequal.

Although Crown tried his best, OPT wanted to fall down, but he couldn't hold him up.

There was no second person in the team who stood up and shouldered the responsibility with him.

Every time Ice Girl cuts into the OPT formation, she can lead TSM to launch a strong offensive, which OPT cannot parry.

The audience can feel that the roles of Ice Girl and Victor are very different in this game.

At the early 26th minute, Crown in the OPT player seat stared at "defeat" on the screen, feeling a little depressed.

Defeated, defeated again!

Things have changed and people have changed. The time I spent at Samsung only remains in my memory.

After coming out of the LCK, Crown was not successful and struggled in the LCS. Coupled with the recent injuries, he was already very tired.

At this time, Crown thought of Ryu.

Maybe, Ryu's decision is the right one.

Crown didn't know what he was thinking. When Li Hao shook hands with him, Crown's expression was still blank.

Apart from shaking hands, the two did not communicate.

But Crown's loneliness hangs on his face, which is in sharp contrast to Li Hao's current brilliance.

In the past, they kept fighting against each other in the World Championship, leaving many famous scenes.

A few years have passed, but everyone has reached a completely different fork in the road in their careers.

When I returned to the TSM base that night, around 9 o'clock, Benji brought a box of fried chicken, and Kabo brought a few cans of Coke.

Seeing the worried expressions of these two people, Li Hao was a little surprised.

He closed the US server ranking settlement interface in front of him, walked to the table behind him, pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked curiously:

"What's going on here?"

"Is there anything unpleasant?"

Kabo said: "Brother, we are just in a bit of a hurry."

"First Ryu, now Crown."

While talking, he took out his mobile phone.

Li Hao saw that what was on the page was the news sent by Crown.

Crown have made the decision that he will play out the season and take a long break.

According to Crown's current status and age, his words mean that the former three-star mid laner has decided to retire.

Crown is bidding farewell to its fans in a relatively tactful way.

Li Hao was surprised.

In my impression, Crown will retire a little later. It seems that his influence is too great.

Old friends are retiring one after another, so it’s not surprising that Benji and Kaguo have some feelings.

In the club, Li Hao communicated with them and exchanged their feelings.

Not to mention stupid chicken and Ka, even he himself was filled with emotion.

The time when Crown posted this update was also coincidental, just after finishing the game with Li Hao.

Once, Dade expressed emotion after the final battle with Li Hao in the LPL.

Ryu had a battle with Li Hao and announced his retirement on the spot.

Now, Crown is also leaving the arena.

These legendary LCK mid laners who shined for a while all crossed paths with Li Hao at the end of their careers.

The audience put this information together and made many associations.

In addition to being epic and heavy, it is also more surprising and shocking.

[Brother Hao sent away one after another, burying the old era with his own hands]

[This is the legend of Brother Hao, he has performed something different in the league]

[The king is lonely, but in comparison, I suddenly feel that Brother Li from LCK is really tough and has been persevering]

[The former alliance is withering, there are fewer and fewer old people, and our youth is gradually blurred]

[On the importance of maintenance]

[A voice echoed in my ears: Please invite the next talented mid laner! 】

…

After Crown Brother posted the news, in addition to many fans following the discussion, the first one among the LPL e-sports media people and commentators to speak was Senior Colonel Guan.

On his homepage, the Grandmaster Guan updated:

"Another star in the alliance is about to dim."

The university has been paying attention to Brother Crown and silently supporting him. When the day comes when Crown actually retires, the university will surely post a longer essay.

The retirement of an old player will have little impact on the current major teams.

Everyone’s attention is almost all on the latest version 9.14.

Specific heroes will be given specific mechanisms.

For example, shield restraint, treatment restraint, fixed damage reduction, improvement of true vision mechanism, movement restraint, etc.

In the long run, the addition of these mechanisms will make the BP priority in the professional arena more sound, weaken the designer's weakening-strengthening-weakening cycle for currently strong heroes, free up designers, and allow them to have more Opportunity to focus on other heroes.

Robot's ultimate move and Crocodile's Red Fury W can now break shields.

Ahri's E can now restrict movement, and the rushes of Prince, Blind Monk, Camille, etc. will all be restrained. The ground-binding effects of Snake Girl and Poppy have also been changed to some extent.

Akali, who was slashed in the last two versions, has now received a callback. Galio's mechanism has been greatly changed. Passive and Q damage have been increased. W can't be interrupted by flash when charging, which is a huge weakening. The ability to attack first and start a team disappears. Return to the middle and take the AP route. You can only rely on R support to enter the field, and then take control of WE.

Jace, Neeko, and Kennen, the three popular top-lane long-range heroes have been cut down one after another. If you want to use long-range heroes against short-hands, you have to think twice.

There have been a lot of changes in hero balance.

Recently, major teams have been training intensively within the team or booking training matches abroad.

It is obvious that the changes made after the halfway point of the summer split have made everyone anxious.

The flavor of S9 is getting stronger and stronger.

…

"Congratulations TSM!"

"Another beautiful victory!"

The old commentator Riv was excited: "The King used Lissandra to deal the highest damage in the game, a perfect record!"

"He seemed to be active in every corner throughout the game!"

"Fenix's aircraft didn't do much."

Smith emphasized:

"I studied TSM's latest style of play, and it's very different."

"The mid laners facing The King don't have to worry about their poor statistics for the time being, but their wings are always in trouble. With quick and effective support and flexible deployment, TSM's rhythm is like a pair of the most dexterous hands playing the piano. Strings, so beautiful!”

"Throughout the game, Fox's living space has been compressed, and the distribution of vision and neutral resources is seriously unequal."

"Often when Fox thinks of what to do, TSM has already done it in advance."

Riv smiled: "TSM's coach Jin said in the last interview that these changes in the team almost all come from TheKing. He is thinking of ways to make TSM better. This is all for the S9 European trip!"

"..."

During their conversation, TSM had already finished shaking hands with the FOX players.

Curious about TSM's tactics, host Sjokz invited coach Kim Sang-soo again in the post-match interview.

"TSM's tactics look ordinary, but when executed, they have unexpected results. Many LCS teams are learning from you, but the results they produce are completely different."

Sjokz asked: "Coach Jin, can you explain to us the reason?"

Kim Sang-soo responded with a smile:

"The effectiveness of tactics depends entirely on the executor."

"I once said that if The King became a coach, I would be dismissed from get out of class right now."

"In other words, we have an extremely good coach on the field, who leads TSM throughout the entire process. This allows our players to keep doing things. The combination of purposeful actions is the most efficient work."

"Of course, this is very tiring and will consume a lot of TheKing's energy."

"TSM is extremely concerned about The King's health. We wanted him to adopt a more comfortable style of play, but he refused."

"OH?"

Sjokz asked: "Why refuse?"

Kim Sang-soo showed his admiration: "To compete in the European arena, we need more weapons. TSM will have a greater test this summer. Before that, we must do our best!"

"If he hadn't fallen down, he would have kept fighting."

"This is what The King said."

Sjokz was shocked, and Kim Sang-soo gave a timely comment:

"This is the first time in my coaching career that I have encountered such a player."

"At first, my impression of The King was that he had superpowers. He was an alien in the field of e-sports. But after this period of exposure, I gradually understood that hard work, self-discipline, a strong mentality, and a strong individual Charm is the key to his success."

"In the field of e-sports, there is only one person who can perfectly combine these qualities, TheKing."

Sjokz couldn't hold himself back and asked:

"Is this going to be the most important period of your coaching career?"

"Hahaha!"

Kim Sang-soo smiled boldly: "Of course."

"I envy Coach Chris very much. He has worked with The King for three seasons!"

"For me, this is the most valuable asset in my coaching career. By his side, not only the players can learn a lot, but the coach is no exception."

"..."

Kim Sang-soo's words eliminated many viewers' doubts and also made some teams give up.

There is no way out simply imitating TSM.

It is impossible to find a perfect replacement for the number one player in the league.

On July 29, TSM will compete with 100T again.

This time, Yue Lun disappeared.

The mid laner was replaced by American player Soligo.

Bang was not discouraged by Yue Lun's departure. When he faced TSM, he burst out with greater energy.

The entire 31-minute game was almost sustained by Bang's Xia Qiang.

5/1/4, this is Bang's last record, it can be said that even though it was a defeat, it was an honor.

Ssumday on the top lane became a war criminal, and top laner Riven was caught. The tragic record of 1/8/2 made Ssumday himself blush.

"Xingxiong, I have something to say to you."

After the game, I was shocked when I saw Bang's serious look on his face!

"Junzhi, are you going to retire too?!"

"How is that possible? I'm not 23 years old yet!"

Bang glanced at Li Hao next to Benji: "The King has just found his rhythm when he was 23 years old. What if my peak is still next?"

Stupid Ji shook his head and patted Bang on the shoulder: "Junzhi, you can think of something else."

"Always fantasizing about these things will hit you harder in the future."

"As a senior, I must teach you to be pragmatic."

Bang ignored his words: "Ryu asked me to take the message."

"If you see Faker next time, tell him that you are very grateful to him for playing solo last time."

"besides."

Bang's face turned to Li Hao: "Ryu also wants to thank you. His last regret ended with you."

"After the game, he kept telling me that LeBlanc is a good choice. Your LeBlanc is great."

Li Hao was a little confused:

"Why didn't he say it himself?"

Bang smiled: "If he had such courage, he would not have left the LCK in the first place."

"He wanted to respond in another way, but it looked like an escape no matter what. But this is Ryu. He left the LCK, but he endured more."

"It's good for him now, he had a nap today."

Li Hao nodded and understood what Bang meant.

"Junzhi, what are your plans for the future?"

Bang's response was straightforward: "Stay in the LCS and continue to earn US dollars."

"If this person retires, I will consider returning to the LCK."

While speaking, Bang gestured in Li Hao's direction again.

After meditating, the false god finally accepted his fate.

He was convinced and asked himself whether he was Li Hao's opponent.

The main reason for staying in North America is that I don't want to compete with Li Hao in the world arena.

2016/2017, these two seasons, were a huge blow to Bang.

When Benji left, he leaned into Bang's ear and whispered something. He was so mysterious that even Li Hao didn't hear clearly.

On the way backstage, Li Hao asked about it.

Stupid Chicken said with a smile:

"I told Junzhi that if he insists on using meditation training, he must study more "Sun Tian Xue", which will be very helpful."

"Is this really it?"

"of course."

"Bang is interested in Ri Ri Tian Xue?"

"very interested."

Li Hao rolled his eyes, feeling that this world was very strange.

He heard the stupid chicken beside him say:

"Flando is worthy of being a player who has stayed with you for three years and won three consecutive championships together. He really knows you well."

"Now I realize more and more that his interpretation of Ritian Xue is correct and profound."

"Just like the mentality."

"He summarized the big scenes and huge difficulties you faced, and then recorded your reactions. After reading it, I felt very shocked. Mentality is really the key to becoming a strong person."

"..."

The stupid chicken chattered and kept talking.

Kabo listened with interest and kept asking questions.

Li Hao didn't know what to say when Li Liyuan was released, and he was even a little embarrassed.

…

Time passes quickly, and it’s midsummer in August in a blink of an eye.

The summer season routines of each major competition area have come to the final stage.

TSM will also play the last two rounds of the regular season this week.

…

…

PS: Good night book friends, please update on time before 23:59 tomorrow night.
