Chapter 1489 Preparing for the Knockout Round

There was a three-day break after the group stage. In addition to filming the promotional video for the knockout stage, KT played training matches with two teams in the upper half of the zone.

RNG and DK.

In the training match, KT learned a lot from the two opponents, but RNG and DK were a little entangled about the results of the training match.

After reviewing for a long time, they found that they didn't seem to learn anything profound from KT.

In fact, KT is a team with strong tactical diversity. Although their tactical thinking is very simple and clear, the whole world knows that KT wants to play around the upper half.

But KT has played the style of play around the top lane. No matter what weird things Lin Cheng chooses, Xiaohuasheng and Chaowei can always take out heroes that can cooperate.

Although the bottom lane duo's ability to play the line cannot be said to be very top, they always have a way to grab the line to relieve the pressure on the upper half.

For example, EZ + Karma was taken out against FPX in the second round of the group stage.

Others may hold on to the version answer Luna or Yuumi Caitlyn, but it is completely different for KT.

Lin Cheng is the answer to the version.

As long as Lin Cheng plays comfortably, they can always find the code to victory.

Your lineup may be more in line with the answer to this version, but as long as teammates raise Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng can crush the so-called version answer.

This means that it is difficult for others to learn KT's style of play.

No top laner can carry the game like Lin Cheng.

Even RNG, which has a similar style, can't do it.

Xiaohu is too stable in the mid lane, and he likes to give opportunities inexplicably after hitting the top lane, and Xiaohu has not shown enough carry ability in this world championship version.

After all, top laners who change their careers halfway have natural defects in the hero pool.

Of course, because of the limitations of top lane ability and hero pool and team play style, although RNG and DK can't learn much from KT, it can't be said that they have gained nothing.

At least KT's operation, line vision layout, and handling of various situations are almost flawless.

And KT has its own unique ideas for cracking the current version system.

They don't play many versions of the system in the training game, but they are good at playing various versions of the system.

However, KT can master the code to crack the version answer, and whether the opponent can steal it is another matter.

After all, the same hero may have completely different effects when used by different people.

KT used it in the training game to great effect, and RNG and DK might be fooled if they copy it to the game.

October 22, the first day of the knockout stage.

Today is the LCK civil war, T1 vs. GEN·G.

KT did not arrange a training game today, and the whole team gathered together to watch the first quarterfinals.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and it is better to look at other people's game ideas than to practice alone.

Peanut: "What do you think? Who do you want to win today? The winner will be our opponent in the semifinals."

Chaowei: "GEN·G! If it's GEN·G, I think it might be a little easier to beat."

Evert: "I haven't played a training match with T1 recently. They seem to have a lot of routines. I'm afraid they will have some weird tricks."

Mr. Dai: "I don't think it matters who wins, as long as we play well."

Peanut: "That's right! No matter who we play against, we haven't lost this year."

Seeing the confident look of his beloved disciples, Mr. Kang Dongxun nodded silently.

That's the spirit! They are worthy of being my disciples!

As a result, Lin Cheng ruined the scene at this time, "Don't you treat MAD as human beings? If they lose in the quarterfinals, we can only watch MAD play against them in front of the TV."

The teammates all looked at Lin Cheng.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Lin Cheng patted the coach's shoulder, "Now Lao Kang will tell you the story of S7 Dragon Ball, a lesson from the past!"

Kang Dongxun's face turned black.

I don't want to mention this, don't force me to recall it.

Lin Cheng wanted to talk more, but Chi Shengxi poked his arm.

"Don't say anything to ruin the atmosphere, just watch the game."

"Oh."

Lin Cheng's eyes widened, looking innocent.

Kang Dongxun glanced at Lin Cheng obscurely, secretly planning to find an opportunity to settle accounts with this kid after winning the championship.

Last time, Lin Cheng posted a video of him rolling down the stairs on SNS, and took the lead in commenting and mocking him. Mr. Kang Dongxun still can't swallow this breath until now.

However, Lin Cheng has many fans, so he has to be careful when settling accounts.

Lin Cheng didn't know that his coach was still thinking about how to settle accounts with him, so he sat down and watched the game honestly.

Soon the game started.

Both teams learned a lot from the group stage. At the beginning, all the bans were targeted at the key characters in the group stage.

Except for Zoe, which was a respect for BDD, the remaining 5 characters all performed very well in the group stage.

Enchantress, Prince, Yuumi, Card, Lee Sin

However, both sides released Luna in the first game.

And no one picked her yet.

The difference between the knockout stage and the group stage came out immediately.

You know, Luna had a 100% BP rate in the group stage, but she seemed to be coldly received in the first knockout stage.

It may be that the feedback from the training game made both sides feel that it is easy to be targeted if they grab Luna first.

The fault tolerance rate of this combination is indeed a bit low. No matter how high the explosion is, it cannot change the fact that Lucian is short-handed. In the T1 group stage, the effect of using Aphelios + Lulu to beat Luna was very good.

The ADs of both sides are ultimately relatively stable choices, T1 is Aphelios, and GEN·G is the female gun.

Another high-priority hero in the group stage, Dao Mei, was locked down by GEN·G.

Guan Zeyuan was already pessimistic in the Chinese commentary box.

The BP rate of Dao Girl in the group stage is very high, but the winning rate is very low, which feels a bit like a version trap.

Apart from Lin Cheng, only Ah P won with the sword girl.

In the entire group stage, Dao Mei played 7 times, with a winning rate of only 28%.

"Oops! Except for Brother Chengzi, to be honest, everyone else's swordsmen don't feel so stable when they are used. BDD's swordsmen are not his signature either."

In the end, T1 won the first game steadily.

BDD also imitated Coin Brother and played Tank Knife Girl, but he used it to confuse the entire audience.

The number of single kills in the LCK is second only to Lin Cheng, but this game was also suppressed by Canna's male gun.

Chi Di's female spearman had a back-and-forth fight with Xiao Lu Bu in the bottom lane, but when defending the line in the mid-term, she was single-killed by Canna. When both had a semi-mythical outfit, the male spearman had no pressure to single out any AD.

The BP in the following games was a bit similar to that in the first game. Luna had no one to ban or choose. It seems that for these two LCK teams, the more stable AD is their preference.

In the end, T1 swept GEN·G 3:0 without much resistance.

Zeyuan couldn't help but rant in the Chinese commentary booth.

"Why don't you change your BP after losing two games in a row?"

"Give Ruler a big core! The upper limit of the female gun hero is too low. I didn't expect to give him three female guns and watch the team being sent away."

"Are you confused during the training match? I feel like today GEN·G just stands out and doesn't want to win!"
