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

Chapter 76 Canyon: No rush, play with him! [Four Thousand]

October 15th was still close to midnight Beijing time.

The European competition is about to begin.

This is IG's third game, but it is also the most crucial one.

Because the opponent in this game is DWG.

In IG's current group, only DWG and IG have a record of 2-0.
This also means that if you want to qualify as the first in the group, you must defeat the opponent.

Whoever wins first will have less pressure.

The World Championship is a very competitive event.

And pressure affects the state to a great extent.

"What are you thinking about?"

In the DWG lounge, DWG head coach Kim Jeong-soo, who had already completed the tactics, patted the dazed Canyon with some curiosity.

Yes, that's right.

He was the coach when IG won the championship last year.

"Thinking about a friend."

Canyon came to his senses and scratched his head.

"He's IG's jungler."

"We agreed to meet again at Worlds, but I'm not sure if I should go say hello now."

“I’m a little afraid of disturbing them.”

Canyon is a person who values ​​​​promises very much.

"Really? Then let's say hello tomorrow."

Kim Jeong-soo shrugged with a smile on her face.

"After today's fight, he probably won't be in the mood to deal with you."

Canyon was stunned, then immediately reacted.

Kim Jeong-soo meant that IG would lose to them today.

But he doesn't think so.

"My friend is amazing."

After watching the final, Canyon's vigilance towards Xu Xinghe has reached its highest level.

to be frank.

If he were asked to play, he wouldn't have the confidence to play with such perfect rhythm as in those three games.

Just like the cat playing with Tom, Xu Xinghe also played with Xiaotian in the palm of his hand.

"After all, they are the number one seed, so we still have to be cautious."

Kim Jeong-soo remained noncommittal.

"But LPL teams always have a lot of problems."

He really led an LPL team and won the first LPL championship.

"Discipline is always their biggest problem."

"He's not very rigorous in his playing style, he's impulsive, and his tactical execution depends on his mood."

Jin Jingzhu rubbed his forehead.

He thought of the old IG.

I have to say, IG is really strong.

But can you say that IG is that kind of perfect team?

Absolutely not.

Most of the time, they are just playing the game based on their personal abilities.

But personal ability is not a permanent advantage.

IG's sharp decline in the summer season shows that they are not so invincible.

In Kim Jeong-soo's eyes, IG after winning the championship was like a plate of fine sand.

You don't need to use any effort, it will fall away with the wind.

He also watched the final, but he didn't find it difficult to handle.

In the final analysis, the reason why IG has become organized now.

Isn’t it because of that new jungler?

Then the problem is coming.

If the jungler is suppressed, can he still make decent calls?
Don’t mention that FPX thinks the same way.

Can FPX's mid and jungle be as awesome as our DWG's mid and jungle?
Kim Jung-soo really doesn't think so.

That's why he was so concerned about what Canyon was doing at this moment.

Because if we want to beat IG today, Canyon is the top priority.

The wait wasn't too long.

Following the host's introduction, IG and DWG players came on stage one after another and took their seats.

[Brother Xinghe is as handsome as ever today! ]

[We've been bullying the weak up front, but now we finally have a tough match. Go IG!]

【Take down DWG for me! 】

There were quite a few spectators watching the game in the early morning.

Because like IG, DWG's dominance is equally strong.

This game can even be considered one of the focus matches of the group stage.

"How do you feel now? Are you stressed?"

Karam took the initiative to speak.

Xu Xinghe shook his head.

"No, I'm looking forward to it."

It is almost impossible to win the World Championship without playing against strong teams.

Unless the dog is extremely lucky.

So instead of meeting a strong team later, it is better to fight directly in the front.

This will give IG more time to adjust.

At this time, the handsome young man was tall and straight, sitting upright.

Looking at the screen, there is an undisguised eagerness to try.

"...That's really your style."

Karam shook his head with some emotion.

He should have known better.

With Xu Xinghe's fearless personality, how could he possibly have any psychological fluctuations just because he encountered a strong opponent in the main competition?

While both parties were debugging the peripherals, a heated discussion was taking place in a Huya live broadcast room.

[Intermediary commentary, DWG VS IG! ]

This is the title of the live broadcast room.

But there's absolutely no neutrality.

Rather than being neutral, it would be better to say that he is Han Li.

Because the anchor has been praising DWG all the time.

"Oh my god, DWG is awesome!"

"People who like IG have absolutely no understanding of the game."

"What can IG use against DWG? Top, mid, and jungle are not even at the same level."

"Hahaha, there are still people saying you're counting on the bottom lane? I think you're also Sima, IG's bottom lane? Hahaha!"

"Just look at Showmaker's confident face! Support DWG this time, and kill IG, this internet-famous team!"

Xuanshen spoke with gritted teeth.

After IG won the finals last time, Xuanshen was forced to turn off the comments on Weibo.

But he always liked to go against the grain, and this made him even more rebellious.

This time, DWG was directly supported.

In fact, he doesn’t understand DWG at all now, he is just using DWG to step on IG.

He doesn't care even if DWG loses.

[The anchor started to rebel again]

[What a classic Park Haolong, is Xu Xiu your father? ]

[DWG is like a wild dog, get ready to be beaten by IG! ]

[The host is too neutral! ]

The barrage was also full of sarcasm.

But Xuanshen remained unmoved.

The rebellious puppy never changes his mind easily. His main characteristic is that he is the only one who is sober while everyone else is drunk (so he thinks).

The BP on the stage has already begun.

IG on the blue side took down Kennen, Gragas and Ryze in the first round.

DWG then counterattacked and killed Akali and Roqiyana.

"Oh?"

Both Kim Jung-soo and Karam's expressions became subtle.

Because the BP of both sides is not so much about adapting to the version as it is about targeting the opponent's favorite heroes.

This also means that both sides have studied each other.

But it's not surprising.

After all, within this group, IG and DWG will definitely compete for the final top spot.

"EZ."

Needless to say, Karam took EZ right away.

There are three major versions of AD in version 9.19:

Xia, EZ, Kaisa.

It seems that there is no difference from version 9.12?
But in fact there is a big difference.

The priority of these three in version 9.12 is Xayah > Kaisa > EZ.

The current priority is EZ>Xayah>Kassadin.

Yes, EZ now has a very high priority in the AD position.

So high that it’s worth grabbing.

"Xia Jia Titan."

Kim Jung-soo took down Xayah and Titan with a backhand, choosing to move up and down as much as possible.

He knew it very well.

The key to victory or defeat still lies in the midfield, top field and jungle.

In this version, it takes too long for the bottom lane to develop and take over the game.

So the bottom lane can be played directly.

Karam thought for a moment and then pulled out his support and mid laner. "Leona, Clockwork."

The EZ and Leona combination ensures a strong laning position in the bottom lane, and adds a development hero that Rookie is good at in the middle lane to ensure the stability of the middle lane.

With Akali, Ryze, and Qiyana out of the question, Clockwork is almost the best choice.

Another option is...

"Syndra."

DWG chose to draw the sword in the third round!

The showmaker in front of the camera had a serious expression and pushed his glasses.

"Very confident. It's not that Syndra is unplayable in this version, but you need to play very well to achieve dominance."

"After all, it has been weakened for several versions in a row."

Miller was a little surprised.

The mid laner of DWG seems to be very responsible.

What kind of hero you bring out will determine what kind of expectations and demands you will face.

You can pick a Viktor or something like that, and it doesn't matter if you farm in the middle lane.

After all, this hero needs to be farmed.

But if you take out Syndra, then everyone will definitely have higher expectations of you.

I also hope that you can carry the game.

But the problem is, not everyone can carry.

Many times, radical hero selection will bring pressure to yourself.

[Ghost, Syndra beats Clockwork? This is also a classic!]

Playing Syndra in front of Rookie? This little dwarf is so crazy!

[It doesn't matter, Brother Xinghe will take action! ]

[Rookie's summer season form is indeed good, but the past two days have been pretty ordinary. It's hard to say for me.]

"The other side is also very confident."

Xu Xinghe touched his chin.

"Is he challenging you?"

Rookie smiled modestly.

"No, not a challenge."

"It's an invitation to fight."

To say that opponents are challenges is to put yourself in a higher position.

But inviting someone to fight is equal.

Although Rookie is very confident in his own abilities, he does not underestimate his opponents.

This is also one of the reasons why he performs relatively stably.

The second round of BP is much simpler than the first round.

After all, the general lineup framework has basically been determined, and the perceptive coach will naturally begin to restrict the opponent.

However, despite the restrictions, the first thing to do is to get yourself a good lineup.

Don't pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

So in the end, the lineups for both teams are as follows:
Blue Square IG:

Top order: Captain

Jungle: Nightmare

Mid single: Clockwork

Bottom lane: EZ plus Leona

Red Square DWG:

Top order: Crocodile

Jungle: Blind Monk

Mid laner: Syndra
Bottom lane: Xayah and Titan.

"After stealing Lee Sin, will you replace him with Nightmare?"

Jin Jingzhu's face looked a little gloomy.

He deliberately released the Lee Sin in the first round.

Because he felt that if IG really picked up Clockwork and Lee Sin, then he could counterattack and pick up Rek'Sai to crush IG's mid and jungle.

Syndra and Rek'Sai have much higher combat effectiveness in the early stage than Clockwork and Lee Sin.

However, IG did not take it.

Therefore, he could only choose to take Lee Sin in the second round of BP when he had the priority to choose, and break the combination of Lee Sin and Clockwork.

But what Jin Jingzhu didn't expect was:
In fact, IG already knew that Clockwork and Lee Sin would be broken.

In the last few BO5 games of the summer season, IG completed its initial transformation.

But IG at that time was not particularly invincible. In the final analysis, it still relied on one or two systems.

And now IG...

The tactical reserves are far greater than those in the summer season.

No Lee Sin? No big deal.

I still have nightmares.

No clockwork? No problem.

It’s not impossible to play Gragas and Yasuo.

Both teams have extremely strong combat effectiveness in the early and mid-game, and their offensive capabilities can be said to be at their peak.

But because of this, the pace of this game will probably be quite intense.

Xu Xinghe looked calm as he waited for the game to finish loading.

But just as the game started, it was paused.

Xu Xinghe:?

A pause at the start?

Is this the legendary tactical pause?
But he soon discovered that he was overthinking it.

Because he watched DWG's AD change the keyboard and wipe the water off the table.

...Well, it turns out that the water was spilled.

The pause ended quickly, and Xu Xinghe controlled Nightmare to position himself in the wild area.

High-end competitions often adopt a simpler invasion approach.

That means the five of them will just form a group.

Therefore, Xu Xinghe's positioning was not aggressive, and he did not learn any skills in advance.

If DWG's Titan flashes and hooks directly, he will have time to react.

As for the IG invasion...

Are you serious about going to fight Titan at level one with this lineup?

Among the five people combined, only the female tank can provide control.

"Not forcing your way in?"

Xu Xiu asked.

"No need, I'll kill him this time."

Canyon was very confident going into the race.

Although they have a big advantage in the first-level group, it is not a sure win.

Both sides chose to start normally.

Three minutes and forty-two seconds into the game, Xu Xinghe encountered Canyon in the upper river.

Almost instantly.

Both Xu Xinghe and Canyon had guessed the opponent's jungle route.

For a good jungler, it is not difficult to guess the opponent's route based on the number of last hits.

And it is obvious that neither side is willing to let this crab go.

But at this time, Theshy moved first.

After all, he is the captain, and he can gain an advantage against crocodiles before level three.

Even if the opponent is Nuguri.

Theshy now is almost turning into Xu Xinghe's shape.

Because when a conflict occurred in the wild area, he actually chose to provide support first.

Even King Ning behind the scenes was dumbfounded.

He thought, you are not a buddy. I help you every time I play, but you don’t say a word when my jungle is invaded.

As a result, Xu Xinghe has not been invaded yet, and they are just fighting for a river crab.

You just head straight for the river to help him! ?

how to say……

Prince Ning was feeling somewhat complicated at this time.

But this is actually Theshy's conditioned reflex.

Xu Xinghe has been duo-queuing with Theshy quite a few times recently, and the two of them have been bullying the weaker players in the European server.

Xu Xinghe can actually accept the disadvantage in the jungle, but he must give Theshy an illusion:
Xu Xinghe is at a disadvantage → Xu Xinghe can’t help the top lane → he is not happy with the game → so he has to go and help.

What a complete and reasonable logical chain!

Because of this, Xu Xinghe has developed a conditioned reflex like Theshy.

The moment he saw Xu Xinghe and Canyon meet, he immediately chose to move towards the river.

Canyon:?
Such a team?

He was greatly surprised.

It’s not like DWG hasn’t played training matches with IG before, but it’s impossible for Theshy to do such a thing until the finals.

A person who likes to play alone can actually become so team-oriented.

Galaxy, Galaxy, what magic do you have?
Canyon couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he gave up after a brief thought.

It's just a river crab, no need to bother with it.

The opponent's top lane support comes too fast, and if you try to force it, you may end up losing your flash.

Canyon is not Xiaotian, and he is not that stubborn.

"Let it go, it doesn't matter."

At this moment, he still had a confident smile on his face.

"I can almost predict Galaxy's jungle route. I will definitely win the next wave of rhythm."

IG's collaboration is indeed much stronger than before.

But, he is very dependent on Xu Xinghe.

As long as I can suppress Galaxy, this game is actually easy to win.

Canyon is full of confidence at this time.

Don't worry, just play with him!
