Chapter 167 Establish your authority! T1 is back on its feet!
Teacher Omu stood up, listening to the team members hugging each other excitedly and celebrating, and suddenly looked down at the spotlight above his head,
In the dazzling light, everything seems to be back to the past.
He seemed to have been to this venue ten years ago, when he was still a young guy who had just debuted. Although he was confused about his future, he was passionate about anything new.
Now over 30 years old, I have traveled around the world, winning almost every championship in North America and Europe, until gaming is no longer a passion, but a pure job.
He is back here again,
All the glory is like the smoke of the past, and the junior who used to sit behind him and like to pick his nose has become a new legend,
I can't help but sigh in my heart, flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again.
"Do you have anything to say after watching this game?"
Gu Chuan wrote some words quickly, closed the Devil's Notebook with satisfaction, and looked around.
"Why does T1's routing seem to be full of loopholes? It seems like it can't even perform basic operations." on was the first to speak, and suddenly turned to the side with a smile on his face, "But what I'm concerned about is what to eat at night."
"I know, I can't beat you."
Angel nodded helplessly and looked at the replay on the screen carefully, "Last time I played against Faker, his laning style was not very suppressive and he focused more on pushing and supporting."
"Is he not suitable for Zoe?"
"I feel it has nothing to do with BP. They had quite a big advantage in the early stage."
"It's a matter of mentality." Theshy also rarely expressed his opinion.
Others also joined the discussion based on the video on the screen and expressed their opinions.
"Okay,"
"Actually, Cheng Lu is right. It's mainly a matter of mentality." Gu Chuan took out a USB flash drive from his bag and gently inserted it into the computer,
The video of T1's key matches in the LCK Spring Split began to play on the screen, which he edited individually after studying each one.
"In previous leagues, most of them used the speed-pushing style. The matchup between Faker and Zeus can suppress most of the mid-to-upper players. In order to start the speed-pushing engine, the entire team raised the priority of the two vanguards. At the highest level, it has reached a state of obsession.”
"In today's 12.8 version, the influence of Pioneer is not as good as before. Instead, it is more important to stack up the number of dragons in the later stage. With the rise of Captain Gwen in the top lane, Tsar Victor in the middle lane also has an appearance rate, and the overall rhythm of the game has begun to shift towards the middle. Going into the later stages, this is also a version adjustment that Riot has made specifically to compete with China and South Korea in the European and American divisions.”
"But with such a huge advantage, T1's average dragon control rate per game is only 64.7%. This still includes the number of barons. If you count the little dragons alone, it should not exceed 48%."
"Sorry to interrupt," Mai Zijian was recording, raised his head and asked, "Then we should just use a late-stage lineup and drag it back?"
Angel nodded in agreement,
Although his Czar is terrible at playing, he can still do it as long as he waits until the late stages and pokes people a few times.
"It's not that simple. EG has already shown it once. If T1 hadn't been too careless and sent two waves, the victory in this game should be a matter of course."
Gu Chuan put his hands on the table, "The recent defeat is just a period of pain for T1. When they get serious, our opponent in the final will not change!"
"Bengi is not just honest and honest as he appears on the surface."
Through the screen, he seemed to see the old fox-like figure.
At the same time,
Everyone in T1 who had just returned to the lounge looked ashen, and everyone was silent.
Little Lu Bu and Zeus both put on masks, still thinking about the game just now in their minds.
They all know very well what the meaning of losing this game means.
The first round of the competition ended with a score of 4-3, which officially meant that they were out of the first tier, and their wins were against weak wild card teams.
Unless the other two big worries can overturn in the second round, competing for the first place in the group has become a dream.
This is tantamount to handing over your destiny to someone else.
Click!
"Okay, don't worry, President"
Suddenly the door to the lounge opened,
A figure in a suit walked in slowly, nodding his head, still answering the phone in his hand, and could faintly hear the scolding coming from the other side.
Drop..
"Okay, everyone, raise your heads,"
Bengi hung up the phone and sat on the chair in the center, his eyes glancing over everyone like an eagle,
Except for the expressionless Li Datou, everyone else could not help but turn away their eyes and prepared themselves mentally.
"I respect your personal opinions to the greatest extent regarding the previous drafts and tactics, but the answers you gave recently cannot satisfy the higher-ups, let alone yourself!"
Hearing this, both Xiao Lu Bu and Oner lowered their heads,
Their invincible winning streak in the LCK league caused them to have too many personal emotions. Even before coming to MSI, they thought they were just going through the process and the championship could be easily won.
A series of various blows changed their mentality. When they wanted to prove themselves more, they made more mistakes.
"When I was communicating with the president just now, I had already taken over all the responsibilities for the previous failures,"
Little Lu Bu bit his lower lip silently in shame, and the others also looked at each other,
Unlike other Korean teams that have a clearly hierarchical training system, most of the arbitrary BPs in the past are their personal requirements.
The previous coaching team in 2021 was dismissed by their collective internal vote. With the winning streak and Bengi's gentler personality, the internal voice of the players now exceeds the rights of the coach.
Faker, who was sitting quietly on the side, turned his head and hesitated to speak.
"But it's different now!"
Bengi gently raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and continued to say softly and forcefully: "I hope you will do it for the sake of this group and for your own career,"
"Abandon personal interests and honor and disgrace, integrate into the collective of the team, cooperate with the coach's tactics, and when you are confused, lower your head and take a good look at the three stars on the clothes! They are the result of the hard work of the seniors! There is no luck!" < br>
He threw out a document, which was densely written with the schedule for the next day,
It was obvious that he was well prepared before coming in.
"Our training volume will be doubled this week, and I have made appointments for daily training matches. In the second round of competition, I hope we can work together to tell the outside world! Who is the only Triple Crown team in the league! Recast us The reputation of the LCK region! ”
"Yes! Coach!"
There was a loud roar in the conference room, and the sound was sonorous and powerful!
Having said that, Bengi pushed up his glasses out of habit. Under the dazzling light, the reflective lenses could not clearly see the emotions in his eyes. Looking at his figure, a look of surprise flashed in Li Datou's eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc,
At the beginning of the season, he invited his old partner to be the coach. In fact, he didn’t have much confidence in his heart. He just didn’t have a suitable candidate. He just wanted to give it a try.
Looking at it today, although chicken soup has become numb to an old man like him, it is still more than enough to deal with several young people in the team.
Sure enough, there is always a little more ambition in playing this game.
Time flies,
Two days later, May 24th.
The second round of competition has officially begun!
Earlier in the day, WBG effortlessly won its sixth victory against SGB,
Losing this point also announced that the Saigon Buffaloes have basically bid farewell to the next knockout round and are about to exit this stage with a big score of 0-7.
But as a wild card team, reaching the top six is their limit, and there is no sadness on everyone's face.
Behind them, PSG follows closely with a record of 3-4. They still have the last chance to compete with EG for the last ticket to the semi-finals,
Then we must win tomorrow's opponent WBG.
The highlight of today is the second round against G2 against T1. Just when the audience thought it would be a thrilling game,
Amid the applause of the audience, G2's base exploded into fireworks in the 23rd minute. At the end of the day, the head ratio between the two sides came to a shocking 2-13,
Yangkosi's condition fell into a continuous downturn after meeting with the Korean female anchor, and caps is like a thoroughly studied blank paper. He can't beat Li Datou whether in laning or roaming.
After the critical midfield stalled, T1 came up with a three-core system and destroyed all G2's defense in the laning phase alone.
The unparalleled offensive rhythm was like a tidal wave. In the chaotic battle, the super god Zeus took over the game in the mid-term, and finally used Gwen to score an astonishing four kills.
The name of God King Zeus is heard in Tieba again! The big devil faker is still looking forward to the next mid laner!
T1 seems to be the same T1. They haven't been able to see them defeat for a day, and their opponents still can't breathe easy.
On the 25th, came the last day of the competition,
G2, whose state became increasingly sluggish in the first game, was once again captured by PSG. They had no choice but to secure their third place position, and they no longer showed the high spirits of the previous few days.
As the most active team in the league, G2's official tweet quickly posted the slices of their players' kills after the game ended, and also deliberately posted black and white photos of caps and lambs on the side.
But this did not help PSG, because they immediately gave a key point to their opponent WBG, and together with the SGB teams, they officially announced their farewell to this year's MSI.
And before the final match between WBG and T1,
The final list of the top four has been determined, with WBG firmly taking the top spot, followed by T1, G2 and EG,
The points gap between the first and second place is so big that whoever wins the final game will not affect the ranking.
Therefore, both sides are no longer obsessed with winning or losing, but are more focused on honing their lineups and testing their opponents.
Both sides have each selected a lineup with the characteristics of their own division,
From the opening line to the first baron team battle at 25 minutes, it was hard to tell the winner. Everyone in full condition was operating with all their strength. There were no more low-level mistakes in the past, which made the economic gap never exist. Too much pull.
It wasn't until the second big dragon was refreshed in 30 minutes that Faker's card used a classic stealing tactic at this critical moment, allowing the others to forcibly block the WBG crowd from the front.
The Chinese and Korean commentators all blushed, and roars came and went,
As the Lich with the card passively attacked, the two sides finally ended this hearty world war.
T1 succeeds in revenge again!
Gu Chuan took off his headphones and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue, his eyes full of fighting spirit!
Sure enough, T1 is not as fragile as imagined. The operation of this round has already looked a bit like it was at its peak.
But the more powerful the opponent, the greater the victory can be achieved.
Our battle has just begun!
"Thank you all for watching, the MSI mid-season competition schedule officially ends today!"
"Next is the cruelest semi-final elimination match. The remaining four teams will be divided into two groups to determine the final team!" Miller raised his arms and shouted,
"According to the regulations of this tournament, the first place in the competition is also from the WBG team in our LPL division. Now we have to take the initiative to select our semi-final opponents! The remaining two teams will face off in pairs!"
< br>
The picture on the big screen was shown on the main stage. Gu Chuan and theshy stood solemnly in the center,
A blonde female host strolled up, her slim-fitting cheongsam making her figure more "erect".
Seeing her graceful figure approaching, the two glanced at each other subconsciously, looked at each other and nodded with tacit understanding.
"Ni Hao!"
"Thank you to the two players for coming to our stage. Next, you have to choose the name of your team's WBG knockout opponent on the 28th. Are you sure?" sjokz raised the microphone high and worked hard to stimulate the atmosphere of the audience!
oh! !
Thunderous cheers immediately erupted from the scene! Countless support sticks are beating tirelessly,
Although they narrowly lost to T1 today, it can be seen that their players are in great shape and it will definitely be a fierce battle in the finals.
This kind of game with unknown outcome is the charm of e-sports.
"Once confirmed, this cannot be changed!"
The split shot showed the team lounges as far away as Busan. All the contestants were watching this scene attentively. Even the always optimistic G2 lounge was silent.
Because this will be the key point in determining this year's MSI finals, many people are praying silently in their hearts.
"We have decided that the opponent in the knockout round will choose the EG team!" Gu Chuan said those words softly.
This is also a decision made by their coaching staff after careful consideration,
In some metaphysics, I have to believe that the top European and American teams have a higher winning rate when facing Korean teams, and most of them will lose when facing LPL teams. This has been the case in major competitions in the past few years.
If G2 can be used to eliminate T1, then the championship is basically determined.
This is called killing with a borrowed knife.
Some are happy and some are sad,
Behind the camera,
After hearing the result, the G2 players immediately cheered and everyone was talking and laughing,
Caps was sitting on the gaming chair, grinning from ear to ear, and kept talking.
Yangkousi on the side grinned at first, then secretly glanced at his teammates, then clapped his legs and continued to jump excitedly.
The cheerful laughter was enough to spread to the T1 lounge on the other side,
Opposite the door, T1, who was also their opponent, also breathed a sigh of relief. Several people high-fived each other in celebration,
Although they are not afraid of meeting WBG in their hearts, it would not be a good thing if they could meet again in the finals,
Worst case scenario, at least losing is still a runner-up title.
"Okay, thank you for your participation!" sjokz flipped his long hair,
The animation on the big screen puts each team into the corresponding group: [WBGVSEG! 】,【G2VST1! 】
"Three days later, on May 28, we will usher in the semi-finals of our MSI Mid-Season Championship! From four to two, who will step on the final stage and compete for the supreme glory! Let us wait and see!"
Speed up the progress, it’s a bit slow recently
