LOL: I love sharp reviews and have become a professional expert

【ROXTigers, this team is a legendary miracle in the e-sports industry.

As the head coach of this team, I have deeply experienced the ups and downs of it and gained countless valuable experiences and insights.

We have gone through the most difficult period of the team together. It was a period full of challenges and hardships.

However, it is these difficult times that bring us together and form an unshakable force.

We fought side by side, faced difficulties together, and moved towards glory step by step.

Along the way, they have won the LCK championship and the runner-up in the S game. The BO6 in the semi-finals with SKT in S5 was also particularly gorgeous.

ROXTigers is not just a team, but also a family-like existence.

The word "family" here is by no means derogatory, but is full of deep emotions and meaning.

Encouragement and help further enhanced the strength of the already disciplined team members.

However, when difficulties and challenges arise, these factors may also become shackles that bind them.

When a team faces problems, the warmth and trust that once existed may become a burden, hindering them from finding new breakthroughs.

As the head coach of the team, my biggest regret is that I failed to lead this team to the top.

This regret is like a heavy stone pressing on my heart and I cannot let it go.

In S7, I joined the powerful EDG with this regret.

This is a brand new starting point and also another time for me to pursue my dream.

EDG has its own strength rating and a rigorous and complete youth training system.

Their discipline is undoubtedly the best in the entire league, and their professionalization process is at the forefront of the LPL. They are also one of the first fully professional teams in the LPL.

The goal of my team and I is simple and clear - to win the world championship trophy and write our own glorious chapter.

But it was not until Su Mu's reinforcement that I truly felt the premonition of impending glory. Perhaps, S7 will be the year belonging to EDG!

I have never seen a player who has not received professional training, but has shown such amazing talent and understanding in line handling and operational strategy...】

——Excerpt from nofe’s part of “LPL Top Ten Coaches Interviews” in 2026.

……

……

Snapped!Snapped!

Coach Nofe tapped the small blackboard lightly. The clear sound echoed in the quiet training room, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

At this moment, they were reviewing a training match between EDG and SSG, which was a match before Su Mu joined EDG.

As for why we chose this past training match to review?

This is because the two BO3 training matches that we just played are, to be honest, not worth reviewing.

In this class, the coaching staff specifically analyzed the unique line operations and deep understanding of the SSG team for the players.

Looking at the entire LPL arena, there are only a handful of teams that can accurately control the operation of the military line.

The EDG team has done a very good job in this regard, but there is still a big gap compared with the real Korean operation.

Even the IG team, which later became famous in S8, relied on the extraordinary personal abilities of its players to complete a frontal breakthrough on the road to winning the world championship. They were good at disrupting the opponent's formation and forcibly dragging the rhythm of the game into the fighting mode they were good at, thereby defeating the opponent in one fell swoop.

In the competitive arena of LOL, the choice of heroes will change, the configuration of equipment will be updated, and even the rune system will be adjusted in the future.

But no matter how the times change, one thing remains constant - that is a deep understanding of military operations.

(The soldier line mechanism was changed in later generations. The soldiers who hoarded the line and crossed the tower will not help you fight the hero. The soldiers have a higher priority for hatred against the defense tower.)

LPL players mostly rely on their own experience to deal with the military line, and it is difficult to summarize a universal formula. EDG, as the most mature e-sports club in China, naturally has its own unique understanding and strategy, but it would be too arbitrary to say that they have fully comprehended the mystery of the military line.

According to nofe's detailed explanation, the refresh time of the military line and the pattern of appearance of each wave of artillery vehicles are basic settings that game designers will not easily change.

Therefore, if you want to truly control the line of troops, the first thing is to learn to "read the line".

(In the current version of the game, the soldiers in the middle lane will always arrive at the battlefield faster than the other two lanes. However, as some teams in later generations implemented radical tactics in the game, such as crazy roaming in the middle lane and dazzling teamwork such as three-on-one and four-on-two, this situation has subtly changed.

In order to balance the rhythm and experience of the game, the setting of the soldier lines has been adjusted accordingly, so that now the three lines of soldiers arrive at the battlefield almost at the same time.)

The battle between the soldiers of both sides is not only a contest of strength, but also a battle for experience and level.

Whoever can better control the line of troops can gain more experience online, thereby upgrading faster and gaining an advantage.

In the LPL arena, when it comes to masters who rely on rich experience and superb skills to control the line of troops, RNG's UZI and Ancient WE's Smile are undoubtedly among the best.

In the era of wild development of LPL, when most domestic players were still ignorant of the concept of "operation", these two people were able to have far more last hits than others who could keep up with the time, relying on their empirical understanding of the military line.

For example, dopa's famous quote: "The opponent's Fizz attacked the soldier, and the game is over."

His deep understanding and precise grasp of the game have attracted countless players and contestants, but they also know that this kind of talent cannot be envied.

Therefore, when EDG's players first listened to the coaching staff's in-depth analysis of the essence of Korean operations, they all showed astonishment on their faces, as if they had seen something incredible.

What the hell? ?

Are we playing the same game as the Koreans?

The players thought they had mastered the game League of Legends to perfection and had a deep understanding of the military line.

However, after listening to the coaching team's explanation, they realized that their previous understanding was so superficial.

For those players who thought they had a good understanding of the military line, it seemed as if the door to a new world had been opened at this moment, and their understanding of the military line had been refreshed again.

No wonder we couldn’t beat the Korean team in S7. The reasons are not without clues.

Top lane: among the three lanes, this lane undoubtedly requires the most stringent understanding of the minion line.

In the middle lane, the line is short and heroes clash frequently, which places extremely high demands on operation and reaction speed; while in the bottom lane, there is a support guarding, and the tacit cooperation between ADC and support can often determine the outcome of the battle.

Only in the top lane, the line is long, and the lonely top laner needs to face the challenge of the opponent alone. Without the timely support of the jungler, once the line of troops is not handled properly, it is like being in a desperate situation, which is no different from AFK.

I remember that Su Mu once tried to use Kennen against Noxus in a ranking match. He cleverly used the line of troops to continuously suppress his opponent.

Nine minutes later, he was already two levels ahead of his opponent, and his number of last hits reached as high as forty!
