Chapter 1049 Wild Card Friend KT
Last year in Shanghai, Lin Cheng reached the master level in just 22 games in two days, setting a record for the fastest time to reach the master level.
This year in Europe, Lin Cheng took a step further. He reached the master level with a 100% winning rate in only 16 games.
The main reason is that the super account in the European server seems to have more bonus points than the top of the canyon. The winning rate of Niu Bao S9 in the European server for two days is actually only 90%.
On April 29, Lin Cheng RANK still maintained a strong momentum.
Although his unbeaten record was broken, Lin Cheng's score of more than 300 points in one day in the high-end European server was an eye-opener for countless viewers.
Since Lin Cheng's ID was exposed, OB has had more and more Chinese and foreign anchors, but most domestic audiences are still used to going to Wanwan's live broadcast room, so they don't need Lin Cheng's help in advertising.
Even Xiaoyang played a few games against Lin Cheng on the Mouse Channel OB. He also used his friend status to send harassing messages to Lin Cheng. As a result, his excessive praise made Lin Cheng uncomfortable. Later, Lin Cheng blocked Xiaoyang from the program. The effect is explosive.
Because of Lin Cheng's random killings, players in the European server were paralyzed, and the forum was filled with howls.
"Is this person a monster?" Is this a game we are playing with him? 》
"The top laner facing him is blowing up every game. I can't even imagine what MSI will look like."
"The wild card top laner is trembling"
There are also classic NA and EU laning sessions.
"In ranked LEC, the top laners of the first, second and third teams are like toys in front of Cheng, and there is no hope for the EU this year."
"Laughing to Death!" He said it as if you guys had dramas in the EU before."
"Even if we have no chance, it's not our turn to be laughed at by the LCS!" EU>>NA! Understand? 》
There are also people who fabricate all kinds of unreliable gossip.
"Breaking news!" Cg has written a blank check and vows to bring Cheng to North America next year"
"I only serve TSM with a blank check. I just received a 10-year investment of 200 million US dollars. Isn't it too much to spend some money to buy people?" 》
"The Yankees are still rich, and even with such a good record, they still take advantage of others and throw away their money"
"No matter who buys it, it will work!" North American fish ponds can only be saved by Cheng."
"just in case! I mean just in case! What should I do if I go to North America and integrate into segmentation? 》
"I also have inside information!" Barcelona’s eSports division plans to spend heavily to sign Cheng next year”
"Stop joking!" Are you planning to go to the European Masters? Barcelona doesn’t even have a spot in the LEC”
"How much does it cost to buy a seat?" The salary saved from selling Messi can be used to buy five cities plus LEC seats, which is more than enough. It’s not a big problem! 》
"Outrageous!" You've already sold Messi to Barcelona, right? Be careful of being washed away by plum powder》
On April 30, the fourth day after getting a European server account, Lin Cheng reached the king rank with a winning rate of 88%.
Lin Cheng is also the first professional player to win the title among the professional players participating in this MSI.
The audience in Wanwan's live broadcast room witnessed almost the entire game as Lin Cheng charged into the championship.
"A record has been set again! Brother Chengzi has reached the king level in just 40 games. How come he's like drinking water?"
Wanwan happily praised Lin Cheng, "Although people with high RANK scores may not necessarily be good at competitions, strong players in the field who are serious about RANK will definitely be able to achieve high scores. Brother Chengzi is the best proof."
After a pause, she chuckled and said: "Actually, the European server RANK can tell the difference in strength between the players of each team. With the same super number, some people will be awarded diamond after winning ten consecutive qualifying matches, and some will be awarded platinum. Some people are ranked as kings in four days, and some are still in platinum status after a week.”
Many teams arrived in Iceland earlier than KT, and there are still some big wild card brothers struggling in platinum. If I hear my words later, they will probably vomit blood.
The barrage is very lively.
"It's so funny! Fire the map cannon every night, right?"
"The anchor is showing off his face! Who is the connotation?"
"What Wanwan said actually makes sense. Players with strong rankings in the competition will definitely achieve high scores. Brother Chengzi is a positive example, and Cuzz is a negative example."
"I suspect you are thinking about Xiao Ming! Xiao Ming is also a platinum boy."
"RNG started RANK two days late, so it's not a big problem."
"Xiaohu has knelt down for the fourth time in a row! Compared with Brother Chengzi's state, he's a bit nervous. I'm afraid he'll suffer a heavy blow when we face him."
"Xiaohu's performance was actually very good. He even knelt down because he bumped into an actor, so it wasn't a big problem."
"Xiaohu kneeled down four times in a row to show off his general style. Brother Cheng can't hide his stumbles when he wins consecutively."
"unbelievable!"
······
For Lin Cheng, becoming the king of RANK is not a memorable moment. He still has not stopped in RANK.
On May 1st, the entire KT team shared what they have learned in the past few days in the training room. Which heroes in the rankings performed particularly well, and which heroes clearly felt that they were not strong enough compared to the previous version.
After a brief exchange, everyone played the first training match since arriving in Iceland in the training room.
The opponent was PGG, a team from Oceania. When the opponent invited him to a training match, Kang Dongxun did not refuse, thinking that it would be good for the players to warm up.
The result is obvious. Even if KT players did not exert their full strength, they still beat the Oceania champion PGG in the training match.
In the three games, PGG exploded in the laning phase. Even though AD Mouse resisted a little with a strange move in the last game, it still couldn't change the fate of being beaten.
Even though he was mistreated, the wild card brother politely expressed his thanks in the end.
In fact, it was difficult for the weak wildcard teams in the World Championship to meet top teams in previous years. LPL and LCK teams may feel that playing training games with wildcard teams will not improve them, and usually refuse the training game invitations from wildcard teams.
Wildcard teams basically arrange training games with each other, which is why we can see that the tactics of wildcard teams are completely different from those of major teams every year.
Because they didn't communicate with each other much before, their understanding of the game is naturally very different, and the tactics and hero choices of teams that often play training games together are obviously more similar.
However, KT is an exception. As long as there is a training game invitation, they basically accept it.
Since the S game in Shanghai last year, KT has a good reputation among wildcard teams. Everyone knows that as long as KT has time, they will be willing to play training games with wildcard teams.
Last year, the teams in the four major regions arranged training games with each other, and only KT played training games with wildcard teams in addition to playing training games with seeded teams in major regions.
Other teams ignored wildcard teams, and only KT was willing to help them improve the intensity of training games.
Therefore, KT is also jokingly called the friend of wildcards.
When this news came out, some people were still mocking KT, saying that they were not afraid of being integrated into the division after hanging out with the underdogs for a long time.
However, facts have proved that hard power is the hard truth. KT, who played a training match with the underdogs, still killed other strong teams in major regions.
Although the wildcard brothers are indeed very bad and their tactical execution is also very poor, in fact, some of the wildcard team’s understanding and hero selection are really creative.
Lin Cheng’s top laner Shen was brought out after playing a training match with the wildcards last year, and he played very well.
Although the three games of today’s training match were crushed, PGG’s performance in the last game was still eye-catching.
Because Xiaohuasheng took the brush jungle Morgana, and the bottom lane chose the combination of EZ+Luo, PGG’s AD player took out Rat+Karma.
Rat is very weak in the early stage, but once it faces the bottom lane with insufficient suppression, the rat that can develop steadily is still very destructive.
Although PGG's upper half was bad in the early stage, in a mid-term teamfight, all KT members stood in a row in the jungle, allowing Rat to find a position and shoot, resulting in a quad kill.
No wonder teams often fail in front of wild cards in previous years. Not to mention LCK games, even in high-end RANK Korean servers, Rat is rarely seen, and KT suffered a loss when facing him suddenly.
However, after KT adjusted its tactical thinking, it did not give the opponent a chance. Rat's quad kill did not change PGG's decline, but instead ushered in another massacre by KT.
