We are tired of winning championships, and we still need youth training?

Chapter 114: Crazy Swing, Double Roaming and Deadly Counter Position! [Six Thousand Two]

"Are you nervous, Xiaotian?"

"...A little, but it's okay."

Hearing this, Zhan Ma patted him on the shoulder without saying anything extra.

At this moment, as a coach, all he needs to do is trust the players.

Not dragging down FPX in BP, this is what his horse should do.

The rest is left to the players.

The atmosphere in FPX is not heavy, but it is not relaxed either.

Everyone stared intently at the screen in front of them, quietly waiting for the BP to begin.

At this time, the status of FPX players has been adjusted very well.

Don't underestimate your opponent, but don't be afraid of him either.

My heart is like a raging tide, but I remain calm.

This is a manifestation of extreme concentration.

On the IG player bench.

Xu Xinghe supported his chin with one hand, his eyes like a calm lake in the middle of the night.

Dark waves are flowing, but there is no wind or waves.

He also didn't say much, but quietly thought about the tactics FPX might use next.

To this day, IG has learned a lot from FPX.

But FPX was also affected by IG.

Their team battles are getting better and better.

In terms of cooperation alone, FPX is not much weaker than IG.

In this version that emphasizes linkage, it is no coincidence that we have come this far.

but……

This way it won't be too boring.

No one stands still.

FPX is improving, and IG is also improving.

Theshy now listens to the command very well. He no longer focuses on suppressing the line and has learned to support his teammates.

Rookie also got rid of the bad habit of not developing in the mid-game.

It is enough to become a reliable core mid laner in the late game.

Rather than just an assassin who can set the pace.

The bottom lane group has also made significant progress.

A Shui is no longer the same as before. When dealing damage in team battles, he only thinks about dealing as much damage as possible and ignores his own positioning.

With Xu Xinghe leading Theshy and Rookie in the front, his output pressure was greatly reduced.

And now opponents rarely target him.

Ah Shui knew very well why this was happening.

Our own top, mid and jungle players can often quickly put the opponent under pressure and make it difficult for them to breathe.

Where is the time to take care of him, an ADC?
The ADC in S9 can indeed take over the game in the later stages.

However, this "later stage" guarantee is also after the three-piece set.

In today's version, the outcome is basically decided before the AD three-piece set.

Therefore, there are very few teams that focus on killing AD, and they usually target the mid and top.

Because AD is really useless in the early and mid-game.

Riot created the Censer Monster in S7.

According to their official data, the number of viewers in S7 decreased by 16% compared to S6.

Because it's so boring.

The AD player will definitely have a lot of fun playing the Censer Monster, but the price is that the whole team will have to serve the AD like dogs.

Moreover, because any slight advantage in AD equipment will lead to a qualitative change, the pace of the Incense Burner Monster version is very slow.

In S7, it was common for both sides’ AD to develop for more than 40 minutes, and then a team fight would decide the outcome.

This kind of game is really boring for the audience.

Who the hell wants to sit and watch an AD last-hitting game for nearly an hour, and then watch a team fight?

What everyone wants to see is exciting battles.

You just play one wave at a time, it's not fun at all.

It is precisely because of this that Riot accelerated the pace of the version in the following S8 and S9.

Whether it is the introduction of plating or dragon soul, the purpose is to encourage players to start competing for resources as early as possible in the early stage, so as to speed up the baby.

Don't like fighting?
Then we can only watch the economic gap widen!
This is an open conspiracy by the fist.

In S8 and S9, the LCK not only had a lack of young players, but also still wanted to gain everything through operations.

Naturally, they will lose to teams from other regions.

After experiencing S7, Riot is now more concerned with defending AD than defending Sichuan.

After all, the audience really doesn't want to see development.

So starting from S8, AD began to become a supporting role.

By S9, the only advantage compared to the mid and top is the sustained output in the late game.

As the importance of AD decreases, A Shui naturally suffers less attacks.

Baolan, who has been his partner for almost two years, is the one who has made the most progress.

No, it’s not so much progress as it is regaining the confidence he had when he won the championship.

Although the version has changed, the mentality has also become completely different.

But at this time, Baolan is no longer as depressed as he was after the end of MSI, and he is also very brave to look for opportunities.

Not to mention, there is also Xu Xinghe, the biggest "irrationality".

Once it is on, it is on and has never been closed.

Then Xu Xinghe also has something to say.

I opened it with my own ability, why should I close it?
The fact that he remains polite to his opponents is a reflection of his quality.

How can FPX win against an IG like this?

FPX is full of confidence, and so is IG.

After the referee confirmed that the peripherals were normal, the BP phase officially began.

Coach Zhanma paced and tapped his notebook.

"Kasha."

FPX’s first move, Kaisa!
As one of the three major ADs in this version, Kaisa's late-game ability is no weaker than Xayah, and he is also Jackeylove's championship hero.

In this year's summer season, his Kaisa still performed brilliantly.

Coach Warhorse doesn't want to pick Kaisa.

It’s not that Lin Weixiang doesn’t know how to play, it’s that this hero doesn’t fit FPX’s system.

What is FPX's most famous system?
There is no doubt that it is the jungler and support duo.

If the jungler and support want to work together, the bottom lane must gain control of the lane.

Otherwise, the support can't leave, so how can there be any cooperation between the jungler and the support?

Kaisa's late-game abilities are excellent, but after being hit by a few hits from Riot, she is too weak in the early game.

In addition, IG also has a dual-core system of Angel and Kaisa.

This is also what war horses are afraid of.

Because Theshy is very good at development, Angel's proficiency is also very high.

The late game abilities of these two Cs are too strong, and they are very hard to kill.

So we must target it.

"Isn't it hidden? But we don't just have one lineup."

Karam raised his eyebrows slightly, but was not surprised.

Any lineup needs to be tested through training matches. It is impossible to practice the lineup in the main competition every time.

Naturally, it was also used during the training match between IG and FPX.

It’s not surprising that Coach Zhanma could see how powerful this system was in the later stages.

"Pantheon."

After a moment of hesitation, Karam chose to kill Pantheon.

"Oh? IG coach is kind of smart, huh?"

Huya’s famous cute pet live broadcast room.

Xiaoxuan smiled crookedly.

The title of the live broadcast room is still very neutral.

[Neutral commentary: FPX vs. IG, come on, Tian!]

"When you realize the opponent is targeting your system, your first reaction is to limit the opponent's system, rather than simply defending, and throw these two difficult problems, Ryze and Qiyana, to the opponent."

"Based on this point alone, I can tell you this coach is better than at least 80% of the coaches in the LPL."

"If they had a worse coach, they would have just moved Xia and forced FPX to pick Ezreal."

"But it's actually useless because FPX doesn't rely on the bottom lane carry."

Xiaoxuan does have some understanding of games and can explain them in a very logical way.

But the audience in his live broadcast room is the same as him.

The main theme is a rebellion.

[IG coach is your dad? ]

FPX isn't relying on the bottom lane carry? They're targeting Wei Xiang again. Weibo guide: @不punctual又早退的炫狗

[Why did Xiaoxuan lie to us? Didn't he agree to support Tian Ge? Why is he speaking for IG now?]

Seeing this comment, Xiaoxuan slammed the table.

"Ouch me! I fucking forgot!"

"It's okay, I'll come and have a good chat with FPX right away."

"Some people say I'm targeting Wei Xiang. Haha, Brother Xiang is so awesome, why would he care what I say? Besides, his performance is fine, I think."

While he was chatting with the commentators, FPX had already picked up the second hero in the first round:
Jess!

"Want to suppress IG's mid-top double swing?"

Kkoma, who was watching the game, narrowed his eyes and tapped his knees subconsciously.

On the surface, it seems to be a simple double-swing suppression to limit Theshy and Rookie's excellent laning ability.

But kkoma concluded that FPX's goal would never be so simple.

For good reason.

Although Jayce can also be swayed, FPX and IG have played against each other so many times, how could it be necessary to use the ban position to deal with it?

In the battle between top teams, any ban position is crucial.

There is weirdness.

kkoma instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

In fact, Karam was also a little confused at this time.

Does Jess need to move?
Did FPX move Jayce because they were afraid of Theshy's Jayce?
He would believe it if he changed teams.

Only FPX is absolutely impossible.

Because Theshy has won training matches before, and he was even treated quite well, so Xu Xinghe has helped him many times.

But still failed to break through FPX's top lane.

Even though the scrimmages aren't as focused as the competitions, it also shows that FPX isn't really afraid of Jayce.

It was normal for Jace to remove it, but the second hand removed it directly...

It's really abnormal.

Karam didn't dwell too much on this Jace.

After all, he had made a plan for this situation.

"Ritz."

He chose to continue following his own BP ideas.

No matter what Coach Zhanma's plan is, he just needs to select the lineup he wants.

If you want to suppress your opponent in BP, you must first ensure the integrity of your lineup.

"Tsk, I knew I couldn't get it."

Coach Zhanma pushed up his glasses and pulled up his trouser legs.

After performing this series of actions that seemed to be a tribute to a certain adult, he made an unhappy sound.

Sometimes he really wished that the coach opposite him was Zhu Kai or Bai Yueya.

Zhanma knows these two people, and they are both very magical among coaches.

Especially Zhu Kai.

This guy even became a coach by accident.

The White Crescent has many creative ideas, and the gap between the upper and lower levels is huge.

With these two coaches opposite him, Zhanma estimates that he has at least a 60% chance of winning today.

Unfortunately, the coach on the opposite side was Karam, not the two talented players he knew.

For a hero like Ryze, if White Crescent comes, I might try to release it.

Pity!
What a pity!

The warhorse felt regretful again, then began to frown and think.

Third hand, who should I move?
It wasn't long before he made his decision.

"Leopard Girl."

Who is the biggest threat to IG?
Zhanma was not sure what others thought, but he had always believed it was Xu Xinghe since the start of the World Championship.

This person glued the originally fragmented IG back together.

Zhanma has watched Xu Xinghe's game videos many times.

He found.

As long as Xu Xinghe gains an advantage in the wild area, IG will be able to defeat them with great force.

This person's rhythm ability is definitely not inferior to Xiaotian's.

It is even possible to surpass Xiaotian.

After all, Xiaotian has had ups and downs in his performance.

When he is powerful, he is like the Emperor Gao Tian, ​​but when his mentality explodes, he becomes dizzy in seconds.

But Xu Xinghe has never had that.

So after thinking about it, he chose to kill the Leopard Woman.

This kind of jungler with extremely fast jungle clearing speed can really make Xiaotian unplayable in Xu Xinghe's hands.

The summer finals have already made this clear.

Even though Xiaotian has evolved again now, who knows if he can beat Xu Xinghe now.

So to be on the safe side, it’s better to turn it off.

[I still can’t let go of Nidalee. It feels like she’s almost become an urban legend.]

[No way, I killed too cruelly when I took it out before] [Xinghe brother's deterrent power, Guigui!]

Xu Xinghe didn't show much expression.

Just press it, it’s not like you’re going to have to do it three times in a row.

What's more, even if he was defeated three times in a row, he was still confident that he could defeat Xiaotian.

So what if there is no Leopard Woman?
"Qiana."

Karam spoke softly and mentioned the third move.

Qiyana is still strong in the current version. Without Nidalee, there are very few junglers in the jungle who can punish her.

It's very flexible and its combat effectiveness in the wild area is also strong enough.

Moreover, FPX's mid-jungle collaboration is also very dependent on Qiyana.

This hero can take the initiative in the jungle, and he is difficult to be attacked by a grass element in his hand.

So there is no problem in moving it.

"Both sides are very targeted."

“You can tell they’ve studied their opponents a lot before the game.”

“It’s going to be a great game today.”

The commentator today is Miller Remembers Wang Duoduo.

I remember feeling a little emotional at that time.

Who would have thought that one day the LPL would have a civil war in the finals?
It’s really the LPL Autumn Season.

It's FPX's blue team's turn to choose first.

After some hesitation, Coach Zhanma chose to grab Xia.

The Xayah and Rakan combination is definitely not allowed.

Grabbing Xayah and releasing Luo is Zhanma's BP strategy.

Luo’s laning ability is very weak now, but IG has to take it.

Because if they don't take it, FPX will get Xayah and Rakan, a T0 level bottom lane combination.

This is something IG absolutely does not want to see.

Now the bottom lane group does not have much influence in the early stage, but Xayah and Rakan are still very deterrent in the late stage.

By grabbing Xayah and releasing Rakan, IG had to choose a bottom lane group that was weaker in laning, thus freeing up Liu Qingsong and allowing him to roam freely.

This is Coach Zhanma’s BP goal.

In fact, it is not complicated, but it is difficult to deal with open conspiracy.

"Luo, is it okay?"

Coach Karam chose to communicate with Baolan.

He can accept Luo, after all, many IG systems also rely on Luo's ability to start a team fight.

Being a little weaker in the lane doesn't matter, Luo still has a big stage for team battles.

But if Baolan lacks confidence, the stage may become a stove.

So he wanted to hear Baolan's answer more.

"no problem."

"give it to me."

Baolan didn't hesitate for too long and nodded solemnly.

He thought a lot.

I thought about my defeat in MSI, my powerlessness in front of CoreJJ, and the process of slowly regaining my confidence.

Now Baolan also wants to win the championship with his teammates.

While proving himself, he also announced his return to the world.

He now has confidence.

So Karam nodded.

"Lo, Verus."

He had decided to choose Virus for A Shui long ago.

The hero Varus is very powerful in laning phase, especially in armor-piercing mode.

Even though the armor-piercing flow doesn't have much effect in the late game, the role it can play in the early and mid-game is unmatched by other ADs.

No later stage?
Then wouldn't it be enough to just end the game during the strong period?

It's a race against time.

Only teams that are confident enough in their ability to end the game dare to participate.

The warhorse's eyes were deep.

Luo alone is indeed very weak in laning, but adding Varus may not be the case.

After thinking quietly, he made his choice.

"Titan, Crocodile."

By taking down Titan and strengthening the team-opening ability, we will continue to increase the laning intensity in the bottom lane, while also increasing the possibility of swinging between the mid and support lanes.

You know, Doinb is not a traditional mid laner.

He has played Titan mid-lane a lot, and his main feature is his ability to set the pace.

For Coach Zhanma, this swinging Titan not only retains the suspense of the mid and support, but also gives the team a strong team starter.

Blood earned!
As for crocodiles, it is also for resisting pressure.

After all, Crocodile is the only hero who can dominate team battles at around level 6 even if he doesn't develop much.

Although Theshy has played less long-range heroes recently, it does not mean that he has completely given up on them.

Sometimes we choose the crocodile first to resist pressure.

After all, although Crocodile is not too bulky, he is still easily walked around by many top laners.

Jin Gong sat upright, without any complaints about being abandoned.

Because for him, as long as he can win the game, anything is fine.

He is different from Wunder who has high aspirations.

Wunder couldn't accept that he was beaten so badly.

But Jin Gong can.

"Akali."

Karam stated IG's third option in a deep voice.

This is also a swing.

Jayce, Akali and Irelia are all very famous swing positions for IG, because IG's mid and top teams can play these three heroes with very high proficiency.

If war horses sway, how can a karam not do the same?
"Both sides are swinging wildly! In the first round of picks and bans, the only player whose position is certain is AD carry. It's hard to say whether Nautilus is a support or not."

"This is also FPX's unique BP advantage."

Miller smiled.

"Doinb's uniqueness allows him to create a wonderful swing effect with his teammates during drafts."

After all, it's a civil war between teams in the same division.

Why are you being so serious?
No matter who wins, the result is already determined. Today belongs to LPL.

So Miller, who brought some fans from the region, was very relaxed.

——Just like Guan Zeyuan who comments on LPL games.

As long as it's not Samsung, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose.

Of course, if Guan Zeyuan had to watch Samsung being eliminated with his own eyes, he would not be able to bear it.

If he can put on a forced smile and say "I'm actually fine" at that time, it means he has controlled his emotions well.

BP has entered the second round, and now it is IG's turn to move first.

"Blind Monk."

Karam's BP idea for the second round is very simple.

Since you are wavering between mid and support, I will just move your jungler.

No matter what hero you choose as the mid laner, as long as you cannot cooperate with the jungler, the mid-jungle collaboration will naturally be difficult.

Isn't it?
For Karam, not having his thoughts distracted by the warhorse is already a success.

After all, the tasks of the coaches on both sides are completely different.

IG is the stronger side in today's BO5 and has a greater chance of winning.

So Karam only needs to not hold IG back during the BP stage, and his mission will be basically accomplished.

You just manage the BP and let the players figure it out.JPG
But this cannot be done for war horses.

FPX is at a disadvantage, which also means that FPX needs to gain more advantages in the BP stage.

At this moment, the Warhorse whose blind monk was removed looked a little unhappy.

Because he knew that his wavering didn't have much effect.

The other party knew that he was wavering, but did not follow his thoughts at all.

The warhorse coach wanted to play chess with Karam.

As a result, Karam turned the chessboard over with his backhand.

He transformed into the IG chess master and wanted to give him a beating.

Warhorse was speechless.

Damn, the players are so awesome, right?
He now wants to put on a watermelon-head headgear and directly post the karam online.

Family members, who knows?

I met a stupid guy today, and his BP has no moral principles at all!

"spider."

IG's jungler still hasn't come out, so Zhanma also chose to move the jungler.

This is also the characteristic of IG today.

IG is the only team in the league that often chooses junglers in the fourth and fifth rounds.

It's amazing to have a deep jungle hero pool.

What's wrong with choosing a jungler in the fourth or fifth round?

They can really achieve a counter effect!

The jungler takes the counter position, what a niche Chinese word.

But it really happened.

"Prince."

After a little thought, Karam chose to remove the prince in the fifth move.

Prince Crocodile is still dominant in team battles, and Prince is still strong in the jungle in this version.

Xiaotian in S9 can still play the role of Prince.

The winning rate is not low, more than 70%.

Just like many people think that Kid's Jinx is bad when he faces into the bush, but in fact, Kid's Jinx win rate is among the top three in the league.

Impression flow is not desirable.

Clearlove has now become Ghost Leg Seven, but that doesn’t prevent him from being the strongest user of Lee Sin in LPL.

"excavator."

FPX’s last move was still to target Xu Xinghe.

After Lee Sin, Nidalee and Spider were gone, Excavator became a hot commodity.

After all, there are only so many T1 junglers in each version, and the remaining excavators are rare commodities.

It's IG's turn to choose first.

Without much hesitation, Karam took Syndra for Rookie.

"Syndra."

Utilizing Syndra's laning suppression ability, continue to put pressure on FPX's mid and jungle, preventing Doinb from performing.

This was the idea that Karam had thought of before the game.

FPX’s roaming is really powerful.

But if I choose a hero with strong line power, I will keep pushing your line.

If you wander off, you will lose something.

Then will FPX still choose to force roaming?
However, Coach Zhanma laughed instead.

Since everyone knew that the final would be against IG, how could he not have a countermeasure plan against Syndra?

"Barrel, Yasuo!"

FPX's fourth and fifth moves instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

These two moves are too bold!
"Yasuo?!"

"FPX really came prepared. This hero isn't that afraid of Syndra!"

Wang Duoduo is very optimistic about these two options.

As long as the mid and jungle reach level 6, the IG double C who have no displacement will have to keep their tails between their legs.

Even if IG plays Kindred in the fifth pick, it will be useless.

Gragas can blow the opponent out of the range of Kindred's ultimate!
However, the audience was surprised, and the commentator was surprised.

IG, however, was not surprised.

Because the barrel was released intentionally by Karam.

Without much hesitation, IG picked the fifth jungler hero almost instantly.

Poppy!

Almost at the same time, Coach Zhanma gripped the notebook tightly.

—Bobby?!

This hero has never entered the warhorse's field of vision.

Does Xu Xinghe know this trick?
He looked through the opponent's Rank records, but he never saw him play!

And during this period, FPX has been playing training games with IG!

This Bobby has never been picked up once!
The warhorse had a serious expression.

be cheated!
The hero Poppy is very effective against Gragas and Titan.

Even if FPX plays well, it is difficult to gain an advantage.

Excellent isn't enough.

They need perfection!
However, at this moment the BP had ended, and he could only put on a smile and shake hands with Coach Karam.

The lineups of both sides are as follows.

Blue Square IG:

Top Lane Akali

Jungler Poppy
mid laner Syndra

Bottom lane group Varus Gallo
Red side FPX:

Top order crocodile
Jungle barrel
Mid laner Yasuo
Team Xia and Titan in the bottom lane.

This last move of Poppy really made Zhanma sweat profusely.

FPX has no way to deal with him.

Not buddy.

It’s actually useful for the jungler to take the counter position?
(End of this chapter)
