Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

There are a total of six teams in this MSI group stage.

The group stage is a double round-robin format, with a total schedule of five days.

Therefore, each team has two games per day.

The game EDG started at 3:30 has finished, and another game will start at 6:30.

The halftime break is only about two hours long.

We ate something, discussed the tactics and draft picks for the second game, and by then the time was up.

In contrast, SKT's two matches were scheduled for the first and last games, respectively.

There was a full four hours in between.

In addition, the competition venue is less than a ten-minute drive from the hotel where they are resting, so SKT can go back to the hotel to rest.

After all, it would be quite uncomfortable to stay in the lounge for four hours straight.

The SKT members were gathered at the hotel, eating together.

"Wanghu, Coach Kkoma, when we play against EDG, can we ban Lee Sin, or even just pick him?"

Huni chuckled dryly, "I think Wanghu plays Lee Sin better than him, there's no need to let EDG get it!"

“No problem, I have Olaf, Graves, Kha’Zix…” Peanut took a gulp of Coke and said with a smile, “I have ways to deal with this Lee Sin with Ghost.”

Huni breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Faker, however, spoke up, saying, "It's not a problem with the Ghost Lee Sin!"

Huni, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was suddenly taken aback: "If it's not the problem with the Lee Sin with Ghost, then what is it?"

He simply thought that this Lee Sin's playstyle was a bit disgusting, but he didn't think much else about it.

"Sang-hyeok, what did you find out?" Kkoma looked up at Faker.

"This Lee Sin is more than just annoying." Faker pondered for a long time before carefully saying:

"On the surface, it seems like he was helping with ganks and setting the pace for the game! But in reality, the key to the game was always Lee Sin."

Upon hearing Faker's words, the entire SKT team was deeply moved.

As professional players, they naturally understood what Faker meant by those words.

The so-called "rhythm point" is usually a hero's ultimate ability or a summoner spell, such as Nocturne's ultimate ability or Blind Man's R-flash kick back.

Or perhaps certain hero-specific combos, like Galio and Camille's ultimate abilities, or Yasuo and Gragas...

Alternatively, Taliyah could reliably secure mid lane priority, allowing her to roam and support side lane ganks!

Under certain conditions, a kill can be achieved through the use or combination of certain skills.

This is what is known as the starting point of the rhythm.

Lee Sin has always been a champion who helps establish an advantage in lane, is strong in the early game, and has a very high skill ceiling.

However, except when he has both Flash and his ultimate ability, he is generally not the one who controls the rhythm of the game.

Essentially, it's still about coordinating with online heroes.

"The rhythm is on Lee Sin, what does that mean?" Kkoma's eyebrows shot up sharply: "Explain in detail?"

"Logically speaking, if Lee Sin helps gank in lane, the kill should definitely go to the laner!" Faker pushed up his glasses:

"Even if they occasionally get kills due to mistakes, it's impossible for them to get this many kills unless EDG does it intentionally."

"Is it possible that you're overthinking it?" Huni blinked, thinking that Faker might be overthinking it.

"No way!" Faker pointed to the replay and said, "Look, Lucian could have easily taken the first tower in the top lane, but Lee Sin still shared the tower's gold with Lucian."

The way the economy of the defensive towers is distributed in this version is somewhat special.

The economy from the second tower on the side lane is such that, regardless of whether the tower is pushed or not, all five players receive 125 gold. Then, those who participate in pushing the tower receive an additional 175 gold on top of the 125 gold.

However, the gold from the first tower on the side lane is split among all five players, with each player receiving 50 gold. On top of that, an additional 400 gold is given to those who participated in pushing the tower.

And the first tower will also give you an extra 250 gold!

"Lucian and Lee Sin each gained 375 gold!" Kkoma narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You mean if Lee Sin doesn't share the gold, Lucian can solo farm 650 gold?"

"That's right! After Attack enters the game, EDG will give him as much gold as possible, allowing the younger and more skilled player to carry the game!"

Faker nodded slightly: "In the playoffs, unless someone is defending, the gold from the first tower will definitely go to Attack!"

“RQQ and the economy…” Peanut’s eyes widened suddenly, the cola in his hand froze in mid-air, and he raised his voice slightly:

"He brings Sprint not for the sake of tempo, but simply for the stability of his damage output conversion rate. Q might miss, but RQQ won't!"

“That’s right!” Faker clapped his hands and pointed at Peanut, saying, “You’ve hit the nail on the head, it’s all about maintaining consistent damage output.”

"So they chose this lineup not because they were tricked or wanted to dominate the early to mid-game!" Kkoma exclaimed in realization. "It's simply for lane control, to help Lee Sin in the jungle?"

Wolf, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: "This is destined to be a jungle meta, where you can't necessarily gain an advantage in the laning phase."

The jungle has become a crucial point; their system is extremely competitive in the jungle. They've got something going for them—using laning feedback to ensure jungle strength.

At this point, Wolf suddenly gasped, looked at Peanut, and said with a hint of mockery, "They're targeting you."

Among the six teams currently competing in MSI, Peanut has the most aggressive jungle play.

Flash Wolves were clearly just a litmus test for EDG.

"As expected of my idol." Peanut tilted his head slightly, revealing a clean smile.

However, his eyes were filled with confidence.

“Then we need to think about a counter-tactical system,” Kkoma said, resting his chin on his right hand.

Faker nodded again upon hearing this.

The fact that Faker can spot these clues just by watching demonstrates his ability to read the game and the match.

However, he still vaguely felt that he hadn't found the key point, but after all, this was not a match they were playing.

You need to experience it in actual games to truly understand it.

Thinking about this, Faker suddenly found that this MSI journey, which was originally going to be very boring, had become interesting.

Faker's strength has always been his ability to read the game, which is why he admires Clearlove!
