League of Legends Invincible Coach
Chapter 18 The Winner is Brother, the Loser is Brother
After choosing Irelia as the first pick, and then Power as the second pick, Wu Di confirmed Syndra as the Dark Sovereign.
Wu Di didn't even glance at the currently strong heroes like Crystal Maiden and Void Walker, letting them all go to the opponent.
These heroes are good and strong in the current version, but they are weak in early-game solo kills and only become powerful in the mid-to-late game. Their roles do not match Chen Qing's strengths. Letting the opponent pick them makes it easier for Chen Qing to use his strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
In professional matches, there are relatively few opportunities for solo kills in the early game. Therefore, most teams have given up on heroes with strong early-game solo kill capabilities and opted for meta heroes that are strong in the mid-to-late game.
This is already a widely accepted fact in the coaching community.
The Conqueror coach had no doubts and instructed Tianyu to take down the Voidwalker Kassadin without hesitation.
Syndra is a lane bully in the early game and is good at solo kills. Kassadin's passive can reduce Syndra's magic damage, which is a small counter to her.
After Kassadin was picked, the Conqueror coach hesitated for a moment, but still let Jialan pick Kai'Sa.
The same logic applies to picking Aatrox. Although we lost the last game with Kai'Sa, everyone blamed the jungler and the player for underestimating the enemy, not the champion pick.
Most other teams would ban Kai'Sa when facing Conqueror, but Glory chose to let her go, so there's no reason for Conqueror not to pick her.
After three choices, Wu Di locked in Cheng Bo's favorite, Annie.
He was afraid that Annie would be banned by Conqueror in the next round of drafting.
In the second round of ban/pick, Conqueror's coach, unsure which heroes to ban, followed Honor's previous hero selection habits and banned the "dog couple combination" Graves and Evelynn, which Sun Xiaopeng was known for.
In the previous game, Sun Xiaopeng set the pace for Glory in the early game and was regarded by the Conqueror coach as the engine of Glory's rhythm. At the same time, Sun Xiaopeng is also the core player with the second highest individual ability among the five strong players in Glory, so it is worth using two ban slots to target him.
However, the Conqueror coach did not guess the hero that Wu Di arranged for Sun Xiaopeng to use.
In the four-way selection, Wu Di had Sun Xiaopeng choose Olaf.
Berserker Olaf.
When talking about reckless heroes, Olaf is an absolutely indispensable figure, a representative of the reckless type.
Without mobility or protection, skills rely on sacrificing health, the ultimate skill grants immunity to crowd control, and the lower the health, the higher the damage output.
In the hands of an average jungler, Olaf is a brainless, reckless hero.
However, in the hands of a skilled jungler, Olaf is a cultured rogue, whose only word to describe him is terrifying.
The Conquerors' final two heroes were Kindred and Alistar.
Without going into too much detail, these are two heroes that Conqueror's jungler Cangyue and support Zhanhun are good at using, which fit the system and are strong in the current version.
Meanwhile, the bot lane Kai'Sa + Alistar combo is also a classic combination and is suitable for use together.
Coach Conqueror has been coaching Conqueror for a long time. Although he doesn't have the same data-driven reading ability as Wu Di, he is able to grasp the various attributes and main heroes of his professional players.
However, the Conquerors Club has been established for more than a decade and has a strict and comprehensive professional competition training system.
In a club like this, unless you are so good that you bring your own system and can break the rules, the coach will not tailor tactics for you; instead, you will have to adapt to the team's tactics.
The club's data analysts and coaches study version updates to uncover the most suitable tactical system for each version. Then, professional players are like soldiers who only need to obey orders and adapt to the various heroes within this tactical system.
Therefore, in professional matches, what we often see are not the signature heroes that these professional players are good at, but rather the functional heroes that are suitable for the tactical system.
As professional players, even if they don't like or are not good at using the functional heroes required by these tactical systems, they will spend a lot of time training to become familiar with and master the hero, reaching a professional level of proficiency that allows them to play in matches.
Wu Di's coaching style, due to his data-driven approach to game analysis, is more like the Dugu Nine Swords from a martial arts novel—returning to simplicity and achieving victory without using any specific moves.
He didn't spend a lot of time and energy studying tactical systems, but he tailored tactics and selected heroes based on the attributes and strengths of his professional players, maximizing their individual abilities.
One is the power of the team, and the other is the individual's ultimate achievement.
There is no absolute standard for which is better or worse.
Most of the time, the team wins over the individual, but occasionally the individual wins over the team.
Wu Di chose to pursue his personal excellence to the extreme.
Therefore, in Honor's final pick, Wu Di did not hesitate to help Xie Hao secure the unexpected ADC that had never appeared in this round of the LPL Summer Split!
"These are my two guns, one is called 'Shoot!' and the other is called 'Ah!'. What do you think? Do you like them?"
A stunningly beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, a wasp waist, long, wavy red hair, and a large expanse of alluring, radiant skin appeared in the 3D projection.
Miss Fortune, the bounty hunter known as "The Gunslinger".
"Wow, they locked it in, Miss Fortune. Glory really dares to pick her, actually bringing out an unpopular ADC who has never appeared in the LPL in the Summer Split."
The narrator exclaimed in surprise.
"Siye, you're wrong. Miss Fortune isn't an unpopular ADC. In solo queue, her pick rate is quite high, and I really enjoy using her too. Moreover, Miss Fortune has now been developed into a support role, and her win rate is quite high. I often play Miss Fortune as support."
Qianqian said with dissatisfaction.
"Qianqian, don't get excited. I was talking about professional matches. Miss Fortune may not be suitable for the current LPL's commonly used tactical system, so she is relatively unpopular in the ADC position right now."
Siye explained.
The ban/pick phase is over, and the match is about to begin.
The coaches from both sides shook hands.
Wu Di remained the same as always, never bending over, only slightly lowering his head, giving off a somewhat arrogant impression.
Although the Conqueror coach was unhappy, he did not want to give others a chance to attack him, so he still bowed respectfully to Wu Di.
The motto of esports is "Friendship first, competition second."
Wu Di's motto is: First place in the competition! First place in the competition! First place in the competition!
Specific problems require specific analysis; he is conducting an e-sports competition with Chinese socialist characteristics.
If he loses the game, he'll die. Can friendship really save his life?
"In esports, skill reigns supreme. Look at the Conqueror coach; although he's older, he's so much more hunched over than Mr. Wu, doesn't he look like a little brother?"
"He's a true brother through his own efforts, no problem."
On a live stream, such a comment appeared.
Moreover, it has gained recognition from many online viewers.
Just like he said, in esports, skill reigns supreme. As long as you are skilled enough, no one will criticize you even if you have an arrogant attitude.
The Conqueror's coach, despite his good attitude, was still mercilessly belittled by the audience because of the loss.
At his age, to be mistaken for Wu Di's younger brother is incredibly embarrassing.
