Chapter 12 The great role of training matches
The night before the opening game, Abramovich gathered the players and coaches for a small meeting.
Facing his old rival, Abramovich attaches great importance to the outcome of this opening game.
After all, according to the predictions of various commentators and insiders before the game, Group B is basically the first group of EDG and WE.
If they can win the opening game, it will be easier for EDG to compete for the top spot in the group; but if they lose this game, the subsequent standings will be very unfavorable to them!
"If we start as top laner tomorrow." Abramovich glanced around: "Koro1 will play first!"
The jungler director needs to rest, and there are no substitutes for the middle and lower assistants. The announcement of the top order means that the starting lineup has been determined.
Li Mufan was not too surprised by this. The importance of this game was immediately overwhelming, and Abramovich would naturally give priority to koro1, which he was more familiar with.
He is not in a hurry. Anyway, Abramovich has decided to play in the Spring Split with him, so he doesn't have to worry about not having any games to play.
Then Abramovich gave some instructions about the stadium, such as what time to gather during the day, what to bring to the stadium, and what to pay attention to when arriving in the lounge.
This is mainly for Li Mufan and Yu Wenbo. They are the only two who are going to the competition venue for the first time as members of EDG.
After explaining the precautions, Abramovich, Nofe and several assistant coaches went to the conference room to continue tactical preparations.
Yu Wenbo immediately dragged the gaming chair and slid it next to Li Mufan.
"Brother Fan! Damn it, my brother is going to play tomorrow!" Yu Wenbo said excitedly.
"Nervous?"
"I'm so nervous! I'm so excited!" Yu Wenbo rubbed his palms: "Watch my performance tomorrow, I will treat Su Hanwei well!"
Li Mufan raised his eyebrows. He knew that Yu Wenbo and Su Hanwei, also known as Xiye, were regulars at the top of the national server and were old acquaintances.
However, after he started playing professionally, he basically trained in the Korean server and didn't play against each other very much.
"Okay! Your mentality is very suitable for playing games!" Li Mufan patted the opponent's shoulder, then thought of something, and warned worriedly: "Don't order McDonald's in the lounge tomorrow!"
In the past, he and Yu Wenbo often watched the starting players play in IG's backstage lounge. Yu Wenbo basically ordered two large buckets of McDonald's every time and came to eat with him while watching.
IG's management is loose and doesn't care about your takeout. Sometimes Yu Wenbo even calls the staff over to eat together.
Yu Wenbo was confused when he heard this: "What's wrong? Eating a chicken drumstick will make you more energetic in the game!"
Li Mufan shook his head helplessly, stopped his hand that wanted to take Rank, and turned to look at him.
"Didn't the team leader tell you not to eat before the game when you were playing offline games?"
"It means you can't eat, but I usually bring some bananas, chocolates, small cakes, etc. If no one eats, I eat it alone!" Yu Wenbo thought about it carefully: "Usually after we finish breakfast in the morning, we will take a nap. The definition is to maintain the feel, and set off to the venue at ten o'clock, and the game will start in the afternoon. However, when playing BO5, sometimes it will go straight to the evening after the game is full. I don't know how those people can endure it if they only eat breakfast. Anyway, I show off my snacks! ”
"Then if you eat these things, if you eat too much and your stomach is full, won't you feel sleepy and slow to react during the game?"
"No?" Yu Wenbo scratched his head: "Still beat like that"
"No wonder they called you 'Dirty Dancing'!" Li Mufan slapped his thigh!
"Go back and eat before you go on stage, and then you won't dodge any of the skills, right?" Li Mufan couldn't help laughing when he said this.
"Is there any relationship between the two? I always thought that I was the kind of person with slow reactions, so I couldn't avoid skills." Yu Wenbo opened his eyes wide. Could it be that when he answered Q, he was not born with slow reactions?
Li Mufan sighed. Sure enough, this is the bad thing about debuting on IG. No one there will tell you the most basic things, as if they think you should know everything.
"In short, when you are full, your blood will rush to the stomach to help digestion, and the blood supply to the brain will be relatively insufficient. Compared with the fasting state, the speed of the brain processing information will slow down. Do you understand this explanation? "Li Mufan patiently explained the principle to him, and then he gave up the idea of ordering McDonald's takeout.
"That's okay, I'll order it and put it in the lounge, and eat it after you're done?" Yu Wenbo was still determined.
Ai Luoli finally noticed the exchange here, kicked up her legs and slid the chair on her butt forward, inserting herself between the two of them.
"You are thinking too much about this. If you win the game, Abu will treat you. Why not eat at McDonald's? Let's go have a seafood dinner!" Ai Luoli didn't know what memory switch was triggered, and she felt that saliva had begun to secrete in her mouth.
"No! I'm allergic to seafood!" Yu Wenbo howled in despair.
"Oh! Then let Abu order from other restaurants. Anyway, if you win the game, you will definitely have good food to eat. If you lose, you will come back to the cafeteria!" After finishing speaking, Ai Luoli slid her chair back to continue ranking.
Li Mufan followed him with his eyes and saw, "Good guy, even during the tens of seconds of black and white screen, he could come over and chat for a few words. He is indeed a 'special chatter' on the same level as Yu Wenbo!"
Everyone then played a few ranking games, and around ten o'clock, Abu drove them back to sleep.
Ai Luoli and Tian Ye, who turned into night owls during the offseason, wondered how young people could sleep at this hour. Li Mufan and Yu Wenbo adapted well because they always slept at this hour.
After washing up and lying on the bed, Li Mufan called up his system panel.
Since coming to EDG, the system has undergone a change that surprised him.
His current attribute points are as follows:
Line pressure resistance: 83
Line offensive ability: 63
Roaming support ability: 74
Single belt development ability: 67
Teamfight ability: 73
Compared with the initial attributes, pressure resistance has been increased by 8 points, roaming support has been increased by 1 point, and team combat has been increased by 1 point, for a total of 10 points!
The first phase of potential development also ended yesterday, and the progress bar went from 50% to 40%! The development difficulty accordingly increased from difficulty C to difficulty B.
According to the original development progress of 1% in five days, it actually takes him until early February to complete the first phase of potential development. However, due to training matches against the top top laners of major LPL and LCK, his pressure-resistant development progress sometimes slows down. Five days will be directly reduced to two days or even one day!
After asking the system, Li Mufan also got the answer. Training matches are more effective in promoting potential development than ranking!
For example, after playing a training match with smeb for the first time, the progress was shortened by three days!
On that day, apart from not taking advantage of Sword Girl in the first game, smeb later chose a hero who was easier to gain an advantage online, and it was a tragic scene for Li Mufan.
Is this the reward after being beaten by the top laner?
Although the development difficulty in the second stage reaches one percentage point every ten days, playing regular games in the LPL must be more effective than training games!
The current pressure resistance ability of 84 points also has a place in the top lane of the LPL; the only flaw is that various abilities cannot be developed in a balanced way. If he plays a game now, he is still the one who sacrifices for the team.
But the future is bright!
With anticipation for the competition, Li Mufan fell asleep. (End of chapter)
