Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 22 New Triple-Core System

After the examination showed that Li Luo's hand injury was almost completely healed, the tense crowd immediately felt much less stressed.

Injuries are a professional player's nemesis, but once that nemesis is gone, just look at Faker in his prime to see how terrifying Uzi can be when he unleashes his full potential.

After a flurry of activity, it was almost nine o'clock.

In the training room, several team members, including Li Luo, sat in chairs, listening to the instructions of head coach Feng Ge.

Since no LPL team made it to the semifinals of S6, three consecutive years of defeats have made LPL clubs realize the importance of the coaching staff, and they have learned coaching systems from LCK.

Before S7, the so-called "coaches" in LPL teams were actually just babysitters who were responsible for ordering takeout for the players and buying them train tickets to participate in the competition.

Even Wei Shen at his peak dared to argue with the coach in the live stream, and Death Declaration threatened to hit the coach. These kinds of incidents show how difficult it is to be a coach.

During this period, professional players didn't really think much of the "coach".

The reason is simple: as a highly regarded, top-tier professional player in the field.

They are all Challenger players in the Chinese server and started as Master players in the Korean server. Why should they listen to someone who can't even beat them giving orders and making arrangements for this and that?
Such examples abound in ancient times. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times at his thatched cottage to invite him to serve as his military advisor.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, however, did not think much of him.

Not long after, Cao Cao sent his general Xiahou Dun with an army of 100,000 to attack Xinye. Liu Bei consulted with Zhuge Liang, who said, "I fear the generals will not obey my orders. I wish to borrow your seal and sword, my lord."

Guan Yu couldn't help but ask, "We're all going to fight, what are you doing, sir?"

Zhuge Liang said, "I will wait in the city."

Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said, "We're all risking our lives, while you, sir, are enjoying yourself!"

Zhuge Liang said, "The seal and sword are here; anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left without a word, sneering coldly.

During the battle, the generals acted according to Zhuge Liang's instructions, and the Cao army was routed and lost their armor and weapons.

Zhuge Liang's first military campaign was a brilliant and decisive victory. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others were filled with admiration.

Which professional player who can enter the top league isn't a 'prodigy'? Which one doesn't have a bit of arrogance?
This phenomenon of 'discrimination' against coaches was not suppressed until after the return of Korean players in S6, prior to S7.

All the proud professional players have realized the gap between themselves and others, and the coach is also an indispensable core for a team to win.

Before the change, only EDG in the LPL was an outlier.

EDG has always been the most rigorous team in the LPL in terms of management. Coach Abu is also one of the founders and shareholders of the club, and has a lot of power.

Only EDG could obediently execute the tactical system arranged by the coach under the intimidation of Abu and Clearlove.

However, this strict rule also led to the loss of Koro1, a top-tier top laner at the time.

For RNGM, Feng Ge was a timely help; for RNG, it was the icing on the cake.

Brother Feng has personal charisma, excellent management skills, and a way of dealing with team members that is close yet dignified.

However, in his past life, Feng Ge's masterful drafting and banning strategies meant that RNG never benefited much from the draft phase.

The so-called "wind sway" only makes the opponent pause and is of no use.

This actually makes things difficult for the top laner, who hasn't even mastered their main champion yet and needs to practice more champions for the sake of drafting.

Furthermore, the frequent changes in the ADC position simply allowed Uzi to pick whatever he wanted.

Looking back at both seasons, RNG still mainly relies on their laning ability to pressure the lane and then mindlessly invade the jungle.

This requires the players to be unafraid to take the blame and to play in a relaxed manner. This is also thanks to Feng Ge. In short, there are advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

“Junze, now that Xiaogou’s hand injury has healed, we can shift our focus to you. I plan to create a system centered around the top, mid, and jungle.”

"Recently, I've noticed that you often play these warrior top laners in ranked games, which is obvious to everyone."

Therefore, in this scrim against EDG, we will use Xiaohu, Xiangguo, and two others as the core to test the feasibility of this new system.

Brother Feng, holding a notebook, addressed the crowd.

In fact, in the Ardent Censer meta, it was clearly unwise for RNG to focus on the mid, top, and jungle, but what no one in the past knew was that...

RNG's decision to use a four-protect-one strategy, sacrificing Letme to support the bot lane, was due to Uzi's injury. If they opted to let the bot lane fend for themselves while other lanes played, the bot lane would require an excessively high level of focus and skill.

The puppy, who already had diabetes, had to take medication every day, and after taking it, it couldn't concentrate at all.

Therefore, it is even more necessary for other positions in RNG to make sacrifices. To some extent, everyone is working towards the outcome of this game, rather than relying solely on Uzi's performance.

RNG's core strategy of protecting one player is to protect Uzi, alleviate his pressure as much as possible, and extend his professional career.

Based on Li Luo's analysis of the current situation, the infamous internal strife within RNG in his previous life was likely caused by injuries and illnesses. Due to Xiaogou's long-term medication, his mental state was deteriorating.

RNG internally insisted on playing a 4-1 formation to protect Uzi, which naturally caused internal conflicts.

"When implementing the new system centered around Kaminari and Nakano, Xiaoxiao and Xiaoming need to be careful."

"Team resources will be tilted towards the top lane, and the jungler and mid laner will appear in the upper jungle more frequently in the early and mid-game."

"Your bot lane needs to change your usual playstyle. If you can gain an advantage through your mechanics, then go for it. If not, play it safe. I think there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Once Feng Ge gets serious, he's like a completely different person, and his nickname changes from the affectionate Zi Hao to "little dog."

Seeing Li Luo and Xiao Ming nod, confirming that neither of them showed any sign of dissatisfaction, Brother Feng nodded in satisfaction.

To get a star player to give up resources for an unknown teammate in this kind of competition.

This is actually something that can easily cause conflict.

This is even more difficult for the previously arrogant puppy.

Because giving up resources is equivalent to giving up the chance to carry.

Only those who carry the team can attract fans.

The number of fans is equivalent to one's net worth, money, fame, and profits.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.

Why did EDG, who won the LPL championship this year, play so badly?

It's because of the uneven distribution of resources that every player wants to carry the team and is unwilling to give up any benefits.
Even the factory manager, the father of EDG, couldn't do anything about it; the performances of iboy, Scout, and Mouse were simply indescribable.

If there was one person in RNG before the semifinals who could reassure the audience, it would definitely be Uzi.

However, since the semi-finals, Xiaogou seems like a completely different person, suddenly becoming more mature, which makes Feng Ge, who has been working hard, very gratified.

"Very good." Seeing everyone's state and looking at the eager Letme, Brother Feng smiled and said:
"Everyone, get ready to log into your match account. Nofe has already contacted me, and the EDG roster is complete."

……

……

Five minutes later, in the custom room for the competition uniform, the chat box appeared—

EDG.Mouse joins the room.

EDG.Clearlove7 joined the room.

EDG.scout joins the room.

EDG.IBOY joins the room.

EDG.Meiko joins the room.

As the EDG players entered the room, both sides displayed the same team ID.

Although it was just an ordinary training match, seeing the star-studded lineups on both sides, no one felt that the quality of this training match was lower than that of top-tier Korean Challenger ranked games.

Instantly, the atmosphere became tense.

It's not that I won't update frequently, it's just a word count issue. If it's too long, I won't get any more recommendations. Please understand, and I'm begging for recommendation votes! Please!
