Chapter 44 Dark, the secret weapon of the finals! (Please collect and read)
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Mingrui's scarf was released for less than half an hour, and the entire LPL exploded.
Not only the LPL viewers were angry, but the major LPL teams were even a little angry.
Because in their opinion, this Dark is simply looking for death!
When he was in China, his Korean server ID was still [LPL Waiting to Die]. However, at that time, the major LPL teams did not react much to this. They only thought it was the incompetent rage of Dark, an unemployed player.
But he never thought that Dark had just joined G2, and he had given himself a European server ID "LPL is full of garbage" and directly bombarded the entire LPL region!
How can the LPL teams endure this situation? So they all blacklisted Dark and G2, thinking that if they had the chance to go to the World Championships and meet G2, they must give him some color.
Especially the RNG team, which is at the forefront of the storm, is even more intolerable at this time, so much so that the five players have threatened to win the championship this spring split, and then go to the MSI arena to settle things with Dark and G2 with their own hands!
But for the Dark and G2 teams, they don't care at all what the LPL teams think.
There is only one thing they care about, and that is the next playoff semifinals!
Exactly five days after Mingrui joined the G2 team, they finally ushered in the semi-final showdown with the dark horse UOL!
In this semi-final, Mingrui and the G2 staff appeared in the backstage lounge together, not only to adapt to the European competition environment in advance, but also as a substitute, ready to take the stage at any time!
However, Mingrui still failed to get a chance to play, because in this game, the G2 team finally successfully defeated the UOL team and successfully advanced to the finals a week later!
It's just that the whole process of winning the game is very difficult to the naked eye.
Because in the entire semifinals, G2 only managed to win with a score of 3-2 after playing five full games with UOL.
And if the UOL team hadn't been a little unlucky in the last game, then they would be the team that advanced to the finals now, not G2!
Therefore, even if they won the semi-finals, the G2 team had no intention of celebrating when they returned. Not only did every team member's face look lifeless, but the atmosphere of the entire G2 team was even more depressing!
Because they know very well that if they go to the finals according to their current state, then when facing the more powerful FNC team, the G2 team's spring finale will probably be miserable.
"Dark, how are you adapting to the environment these days? Are you able to communicate in basic games?"
At this moment, the G2 coach broke the silence in the team and suddenly asked Mingrui.
"It's okay, what's wrong? Do you want to replace me in the game?"
"But it was so difficult for G2 to win today, so the problem doesn't seem to be Trick, right?"
"I feel that there are problems with everyone's overall performance, and the rhythm of the game is not quite right."
Although Mingrui was pleasantly surprised by the coach's question and felt that he might really have a chance to play in the finals, but speaking of facts, today's narrow victory can't really be blamed on Trick for not performing well.
Especially in the two lost games, it was clear that Zven and Mityh in the bottom lane were directly knocked out of the lane, which resulted in G2 losing all rhythm!
"You are right, there are indeed problems with our overall performance today, so we must make adjustments in the coming week."
"As for letting you play...it depends on the situation at that time." "But just in case, you and Trick will start to participate alternately in the training matches next week."
"It not only gives you a simple opportunity to run in with your teammates, but also gives our G2 team the possibility to use a secret weapon in the finals!"
"Trick, I hope you can understand my decision. After all, the FNC team is already very familiar with you, but for them, Dark is still a new jungler who has never played against him before!"
The G2 coach said to Mingrui and Trick solemnly, which surprised Mingrui and made Trick quite uncomfortable.
But Trick had to admit that since FNC didn't know Dark at all, once Dark came on the field, he really had a chance to catch FNC off guard!
So the next day, just one week after joining the G2 team, Mingrui successfully participated in the team training match that he had been dreaming of!
Moreover, in just one day, Mingrui completely conquered his four teammates.
Because when he served as the jungler, not only was he never at a disadvantage in jungle matchups, but he could also radiate it to the three lanes as quickly as possible after gaining the advantage in the jungle, allowing his teammates to quickly establish Gain a laning advantage!
With the advantage across the board, the G2 team really didn’t know how to lose in the training match!
On the other hand, when Trick served as jungler, the situation of the G2 team seemed to be more difficult.
Although Trick and the other four people cooperated more tacitly, when it came to "winning the game", Trick was far less successful than Dark.
If "jungle" is compared to a car engine, then Trick is an ancient engine of an old classic car. Although it can be used, it is difficult to run and often gets stuck.
But Dark is a brand new turbocharged engine equipped with the latest technology. With just a little fuel, it can run so fast that it can fly!
In this regard, Trick was still a little unconvinced. After all, in his own opinion, "match experience" is the most critical factor that determines victory or defeat.
But in the next week, Mingrui's training match winning rate was 100%, but Trick's training match winning rate was only 50%...
Mingrui's strength is not only understood and recognized by all members of G2, but even Trick is convinced!
And he also fully understands that if he continues to be stubborn and insists on competing with Dark, he will definitely lose miserably!
It is better to choose to compromise, choose to lie down, and become Dark's substitute honestly. In this way, there will be a chance to play again in the future!
However, just when Trick felt that he would miss the finals stage, the G2 coach decided to let Trick start the game just to be on the safe side.
If they defeat FNC directly, Dark will continue to be their secret weapon and wait until MSI before making his debut.
But if Trick really fails to withstand FNC's offensive, causing the G2 team to be in dire straits...
Then at that time, it will be Dark's turn to come on stage as a substitute and save the world from danger!
