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

Chapter 75: In the end, it still has to be IG? [Four Thousand]

"Eh?"

Jankos was stunned for a moment, then immediately knocked on the door desperately.

"Open the door! Galaxy!"

"Open the door!"

"You have the ability to beat me, but not the ability to teach me?!"

"Open the door!"

Xu Xinghe in the room was numb.

For the first time, he regretted saying dirty words.

They had played a training match with G2 before.

IG's win rate is slightly higher, but not much.

However, Xu Xinghe's hero pool is visibly deep. Because it was a training match, he also tried Kayn.

After winning that game, jankos asked him why he was so good at playing Kayn.

Xu Xinghe thought he was just asking casually, so he replied casually:
Want to learn? I'll teach you when we get to Berlin!
To be honest, this was just a casual remark made by Xu Xinghe.

Then--

Damn, Jankos is really here!
Seeing that it was no use for him to keep knocking, Xu Xinghe finally let him in.

"What's there to learn? Kayn isn't difficult."

He sighed.

"But your approach is brilliant."

Jankos's eyes are burning,

"Every time he cut in, the timing was perfect. It was like a pile of shit. It really made us sick."

Xu Xinghe glanced at him leisurely and said, "I haven't eaten yet."

Damn Jankos, what's with all that imagination?
"Besides, there's no way to teach this. Isn't it all about improvisation? Even if I teach you, you won't be able to learn it."

Xu Xinghe is very honest.

This thing really cannot be taught, and it’s useless even if you teach it.

"Then when you're not training, can you let me follow you?"

Jankos was not disappointed and asked expectantly.

Xu Xinghe pulled up his pants vigilantly.

"Let me ask first, are you British?"

"Me? No."

"Oh."

Xu Xinghe felt a little relieved.

"You have to ask our coach about this. There's no point telling me."

"Ok! Thanks, brother!"

Jankos came and went quickly, leaving Xu Xinghe stunned.

The next day at noon, Jankos sat next to Xu Xinghe.

This is the temporary training room provided by Riot.

Xu Xinghe raised his head and silently stared at Coach Karam not far away.

He couldn't understand it, but he was shocked.

"Coach, you agree with this? Aren't you afraid he's a spy?"

"No way, they gave too much."

"G2 coach directly sent me a new combination."

Karam spread out his hands.

"And as long as you don't come during training matches, it's actually fine."

Oh?
New style of play?
"Garen cat bottom lane."

Karam said with a smile.

“I think there should be some effect.”

G2 directly released the training match results. This combination currently has a 90% win rate in their training matches.

And this is the record achieved against the LCK team.

Karam is well aware that LCK teams like to hide their strength, and generally speaking, they are at full strength if they can perform at 70% to 80% of their strength in training matches.

But no matter what, this also proves that this combination is indeed not useless.

Because not everyone can win in the LCK if they don’t take it seriously.

Otherwise, how could LCK become such a big mountain in the eyes of LPL?

He stated the reason for his agreement, but Xu Xinghe frowned.

Is it effective against LCK?

Could it be that LCK is just... crap?
"Don't be a coach. It won't work."

He directly rejected Karam's idea.

"The pace of the game is faster now. In the early game, Garen and Cat can fight in small groups, but the problem is that they have almost no ability to keep people."

"European teams are using this purely because they've basically given up on the idea of ​​AD carries."

"Our bottom lane doesn't need it."

Version 9.19 is the version used in the World Championship.

It is undeniable that the AD output in this version is terribly low in the early stage.

When EZ Sorcery became T1 of the version, you can imagine how bad the AD situation was.

But despite this, the three-piece AD ​​can still support the team in the mid-to-late stages.

With or without AD, there is a huge difference in late-game team battles.

Galen the cat?

Just a group of wild dogs.

Only when you really play it will you be fooled.

"Really? Then Jankos, you can go back."

Karam spoke immediately.

jankos: ???
Now, Xu Xinghe reacted.

"G2 stuffed it in here on purpose, didn't they?"

"Huh, this is the World Championship, Xinghe."

Karam snorted and said meaningfully:
"The game is never just about the court."

The so-called jankos learning is just a lead.

G2's real purpose is to distort IG's understanding of the version.

Jankos hasn't even started learning yet, so why should G2 ship directly?
Karam was not fooled at all, he just wanted to remind Xu Xinghe.

Time passed bit by bit.

Unlike FPX in history, IG was assigned to... Group D in the group draw.

The other three teams in the group are:
DWG team from the LCK region.

AHQ team from the LMS region.

The SPY team from the LEC region.

Xu Xinghe was a little disappointed after watching the draw.

It will change as expected.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or a decree, but after IG became the number one seed, they were assigned to the same group as before.

The only difference is that TL, the original group leader of Group D, swapped places with them, and then because of the same-region avoidance principle, SPY, who made it to Group D from the qualifying round, moved to Group D.

It seems that we can no longer rely on the grouping information in the simulation as a reference.

But this is normal.

He still knows about the butterfly effect.

but……

"I really want to play against GAM..."

To be honest, Xu Xinghe still wants to draw GAM.

This Vietnamese team seems to have won the LPL many times in simulations.

So much so that many memes were derived from it.

What Vietnamese fermented bean curd, what calling GAM over, what deserter.

I can only say it's very funny.

Xu Xinghe really wanted to see if they were really capable.

However, with the completion of the draw, the competition is about to begin.

After more than a month of training, it is finally over.

Xu Xinghe now has no health problems. At most, he is a little thin and in a sub-healthy state.

So it can also support longer training periods.

11:47 PM on October 12th.

IG's first game is about to begin.

"Welcome everyone to the 2019 League of Legends World Championship."

"The competition has now entered the group stage. About to begin is our LPL number one seed team, IG, versus the LMS region's AHQ team!"

The commentator today is Wawa Miller.

These two old commentators are not as popular as before.

Because Guan Zeyuan and his group of commentators gradually became famous.

At this time, in the backstage, Xu Xinghe was thinking about how to play this game.

After thinking for two seconds.

——He gave up thinking.

Does playing AHQ really require thinking?

Unlike IG and FPX, their online strength has always been their strongest point.

Even if the version changes cause status fluctuations, it is unlikely to affect the laning phase.

If you can’t win in the laning phase, you can’t win.

But even so, Xu Xinghe still carefully and quickly went through the information of the AHQ team.

Top laner, Ziv.

This player is considered an old player, but he cannot be called the longest river in the LMS region.

The current AHQ team is basically built around him.
I feel not as good as Simon...

AHQ, which once formed a team around Ximen Yeshuo, is at least somewhat competitive.

It also really disgusted Faker.

The core of this AHQ is actually ziv. To be honest, Xu Xinghe felt stable when he saw this.

Let’s take a look at their midfield.

Jungler Alex, mid laner Apex.

Xu Xinghe's evaluation is that he is on the street and doesn't even recognize the person.

He has gone through so many simulations and still doesn't recognize any of the contestants.

...It can only mean that either they didn't debut in the simulation, or they are just on the sidelines.

After seeing this top, mid and jungle, Xu Xinghe knew that today was going to be a great game.

"gone."

Rookie patted his shoulder and Xu Xinghe stood up.

Step onto the stage.

"First up is our IG team. We can see that today's top and jungle players look very relaxed."

The doll is smiling.

"Yeah, after all... the opponent isn't particularly strong. IG can play their best in this game, so I think winning shouldn't be difficult."

Miller nodded.

[No prize guessing game, how many minutes will it take for IG to win?]

【Twenty-four minutes, no more!】

[Does anyone really think IG can lose? I saw AHQ, they're so bad they're not human.]

[I am now worried that Xiao Xinghe will become bloated after defeating AHQ]

The barrage is quite relaxing.

It also has an extremely relaxing feeling.

But this is normal, AHQ really has no strength.

"I'm going to play Ueno in the first round."

"Xinghe, give me a very offensive option."

Karam held the tactical notebook and spoke calmly.

After a month of training, even he no longer knew how deep Xu Xinghe's hero pool was.

but.

Whenever he asked Xu Xinghe if he knew how to play a certain jungler, Xu Xinghe's answer always seemed to be...

meeting!
So now in situations like this where the opponent is not strong, Karam will give Xu Xinghe a great deal of autonomy in choosing his own options.

As a coach of Korean origin, this is already a great trust.

"Leopard Girl."

Xu Xinghe smiled shyly.

But Karam doesn't think he is shy.

He clicked his tongue.

"Okay, today is your first time, no problem."

Every time this guy picks Nidalee, it's basically a massacre.

However, today is Xu Xinghe's first appearance in the World Championship, so Karam naturally chose to indulge him.

BP is going very quickly.

The lineups of both sides are as follows:

Blue Square IG:

Top Single Sword Girl
Jungle Nidalee
Mid lane ice girl
Bottom lane team: Ice and Braum
Red side AHQ:

Captain of the top order
Fight the wild boar girl
Mid Single Card
The bottom lane group is EZ and Tam.

"It's alright, Takashi."

In the AHQ voice chat, mid laner Apex asked.

Alex, the jungler whose name contains the character "Xiao" (filial piety), chuckled and said, "Who do you think I am?"

He is still quite confident.

Although IG's jungler is said to be quite strong, Alex is no exception.

To put it bluntly, it has not even been half a year since his debut. Can this newcomer really withstand the pressure of the World Championship?
Alex thinks it's unlikely.

He is extremely confident.

Game time is four minutes and twenty-six seconds.

"Shit! Where's my wild monster?"

Alex frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

Game time is five minutes and two seconds.

"Shit! Why is he here?!"

Alex felt vaguely uneasy.

Game time is seven minutes and thirty-one seconds.

"Damn it! We're stuck again!"

Alex was numb.

He took a deep breath and opened the scoreboard.

At this time, the Leopard Woman had already gained more than one level of experience than him.

The record is already 2/0/1.

"...How can this guy farm more jungle than me and still gank people?"

Just like Pray once lamented that he didn't know where Uzi got the last hits, Alex also had no idea where Xu Xinghe got so many wild monsters.

But he was sure that his jungle was destroyed.

It's not just Xu Xinghe who is making efforts.

IG arrived very early this time and adjusted to the time difference directly.

Now almost all members are in full condition.

Although heroes are chosen randomly, there may be hidden dangers in team battles.

But... can AHQ survive the team fight?

Obviously, it can't.

When the game time reached seventeen minutes, the record ratio between IG and AHQ had become 12:1.

The only kill IG gave away was when Theshy in the top lane was surrounded by four.

Of course, it was also because of that wave that IG completely secured victory.

No surprises.

After 23 minutes of game time, IG ended the game.

A 22 to 2 massacre!

Nidalee, super god!
Xu Xinghe stood up calmly.

Two words: boring.

"No, buddy, kill slowly."

A Shui was a little happy.

"Are you in such a hurry to get off work?"

Theshy's face was full of disappointment.

"It's too bad."

Today's game was really boring for him.

If he had this much time, he might as well go wander the streets of Berlin and watch the homeless people grinning.

However, the contestants were a little disappointed.

But the audience enjoyed it!
IG's games are really different from other teams, they have a certain charm.

It's really not comparable to those teams.

Especially this kind of massacre game where everyone's operations are weird.

The viewing experience brought to the audience is absolutely top-notch.

They saw that IG was always looking for people and killing people.

In a word.

It feels so good!

【Too cruel! 】

[Ghost, your hands are so heavy?]

[After all, they are family, why don’t you hold back when hitting them? Hahaha]

[That's fine, LPL should bully LMS! ]

Xu Xinghe's stable performance also attracted the attention of many younger female fans.

On Weibo, the term #许星河STATUS began to gain popularity.

As expected, all of Theshy’s teammates can’t escape?

Haha, you're such a shy guy, you don't really have any field.

If Smile is the person who adds C to AD, Uzi is the person who adds B to CJ.

Then Theshy can be considered as someone who adds a #status suffix to his teammates.

On the second day of the group stage, the opponent was SPY from LEC.

This team is better than AHQ.

But only slightly stronger.

IG still played casually and easily slaughtered their opponents.

For a team like IG that is in the middle and lower levels of the world championship, it is basically impossible for them to fail.

The reason is also very simple.

They couldn't hold on during the laning phase.

How about operation?
Even if you say that a little effort can achieve a great result, you must first have the little effort.

If we can’t even win in all three lanes, how can we turn the tables?
IG's two consecutive speedruns fully demonstrated the strength that the LPL's number one seed should have.

It also made the LPL audience, who were originally a little worried, feel a little relieved.

So the question is, since IG’s record is so good, why are LPL audiences still a little uneasy?

——Because FPX and RNG now have one win and one loss.

FPX lost to JT in the first game.

The JT team was completely unknown before.

But the situation is a little different from the original one.

Originally, FPX was the number one seed, so losing to JT is naturally unforgivable.

But the current FPX is not like that.

Moreover, they were defeated by IG 3-0 in the finals.

So although the audience was disappointed, they were not too disappointed.

It is normal for the second seed to lose, and it does not represent the highest level of LPL.

In a sense, IG saved FPX's life.

However, seeing that the second and third seeds were unable to close the gap with the others, the audience began to wonder:
Could it be that we can only rely on IG this year?
