Chapter 449: Dragon Cub's Invitation and Topsports Lounge Bible
Back in the preparation room, during the break between games, the KT players drank water, chatted, and played with their phones.
It was already match point, but everyone seemed to be no different from usual.
The atmosphere in the entire lounge was full of inaction.
At the beginning, the coaching staff would take advantage of this time to briefly remind the players of the problems in the previous game and clarify the general play style for the next game.
As a result, Kang Dongxun found that what he did seemed to be a bit redundant. The originally arranged tactics could change at any time as the BP progressed, and the most important thing was that no matter how it was arranged before the game, it would not have much impact on the subsequent games.
Anyway, we will win, and our KT is invincible.
So, later, unless someone committed a crime on the field and the coach gave a few words, Kang Dongxun basically left time for the players to rest and adjust their status.
It's not that everyone is arrogant because they win too much, but the usual tactical play is engraved in their bones. Except for Lin Cheng's tricks, KT is not a team like Hanhua that prepares various black technology tactics. In the end, it's just training games.
KT's tactical focus is basically on the top lane. As long as Lin Cheng doesn't have any problems, KT will basically not have any problems. Even if Lin Cheng really has problems, other teammates can cover it.
Moreover, KT has a group of big brothers. The team itself has good adjustment ability. Every time the players on the field make a huge mistake, the coach doesn't need to remind them. The players can communicate quickly by themselves.
Although the overall operation of the veterans is difficult to compete with the young players, their experience is a more valuable asset in a sense.
Kuro was happily taking a sip of the black tea he brewed. Lin Cheng, who was looking at his phone next to him, suddenly looked up and asked, "Li Shiheng, what kind of gifts do you Koreans usually give for birthdays?"
Kuro glanced at him and said, "Why? Is your friend having a birthday?"
"Yeah."
"It depends on what your friend likes! There's nothing special about it. It has nothing to do with where he's from."
"Oh."
Lin Cheng was a little troubled when he saw the birthday reminder of his friend on the communication software.
No wonder when they played games together last time, Park Ji-yeon asked him if he was free next week and invited him to play games offline and watch the snowflakes. He accepted the invitation casually.
Park Ji-yeon didn't explain it. If his mobile phone software hadn't set up automatic reminders, he wouldn't have known about it at all.
It would be so bad if he was shaking his hands and really prepared to play games.
Birthday gifts should be prepared, but Lin Cheng didn't know what Park Ji-yeon liked except that he liked playing games.
It's a headache. How about preparing a sweeping robot? Or a rice cooker is also good.
As for gifts, they should be practical.
The atmosphere on the KT side was relaxed, while the atmosphere in the Top Esports lounge on the other side was a little more solemn.
Originally, this MSC was a hastily held competition. It is said that Riot has not even prepared the trophy. Many players in the Top Esports team did not take this MSC seriously, and even had a disdainful attitude.
Moreover, as a team with a short running-in time, Top Esports is indeed the runner-up of the LPL Spring Season, but most of their players are participating in international competitions other than the Intercontinental Championship for the first time.
After all, there is little experience in foreign wars, and reaching the semi-finals is considered a success.
It stands to reason that reaching the finals is not bad, but the opponent in the finals is a LCK team.
As a team in the first division, Top Esports is destined to be watched by all LPL viewers when it enters the finals. In the eyes of the audience, Top Esports now represents the entire LPL division.
Although Top Esports players do not necessarily want to represent others, reality has already put them here.
Even the audience with a clear mind has already regarded this final as a showdown between the Chinese team and the Korean team.
As for Lin Cheng, he was even expelled from the nationality.
Under this situation, it is conceivable that if Topsports wins, it will be fine. If they lose, they will definitely be criticized. If they are beaten in three games, the public opinion will really explode.
LPL has a large number of viewers and many trolls.
In fact, after Topsports lost the first game, many people started to fire at them with all their strength. After the second game, some players' family trees were confiscated by netizens.
Although there are still Topsports fans who are trying their best to fight, if they are still completely crushed by KT in the third game, it is estimated that Topsports fans will not be able to clean up.
It is not unreasonable for Ah Shui to complain about this game in the live broadcast room. There is not much benefit in winning, and they will be criticized if they lose.
Although I didn't go online to read the comments, Topsports players probably know what the current trend is.
All the members of Top Esports sat together, and their faces were not very good. The head coach, White Crescent, stood in the middle of the lounge and spread his hands and said:
"Brothers! We are not playing as a whole now. We can't win in the laning phase, and there are problems in team battles. We make a lot of mistakes on the field. Every time there is a team battle, someone gets into trouble first. Yu Wenbo should pay more attention to his position in the team battle, and you, Bai Jiahao..."
Speaking of 369, White Crescent seemed very angry: "You really don't take what I said yesterday seriously? You are beaten in the laning phase every time. If you can't win, just pull it back. Don't fight hard with the opponent. Do you have the strength to beat him?"
On the first day of the group stage, 369 was killed by Lin Cheng. Later, he fell behind by two big items and almost pissed off the coach. White Crescent advised 369 to pull it back if he couldn't win, don't fight hard, and concentrate on development and wait for the team battle.
Unexpectedly, 369 was still killed by a single player today. In the first game, the opponent got a sword girl. In the second game, 369's Ornn was killed by Rek'Sai in the middle of the game. Later, he committed crimes continuously and almost made the white crescent moon in the backstage pound the table.
"I really pulled it. If you don't believe me, go watch the video."
369 was also very aggrieved. His Ornn had tried his best to play around Rek'Sai, but the opponent seized the opportunity to kill him. What could he do?
The two words "pull" are really a learning for the top laner. Many games that cannot be won can be fought back by pulling, and many lines that cannot be matched can also be pulled to gain development space.
But the top laner on the opposite side is too strong. What can he do if he can't pull it?
White Crescent Moon was even more angry about 369's attitude of not admitting his mistakes: "You should go back and watch the replay. It's been two games. Is your pull and fight just waiting for the opponent's skills to be ready and then going up to get hit? And how did you fight the big dragon wave?"
369 stiffened his neck and retorted: "That's how it was played. I've said I really pulled and fought."
"What right do you have to talk back to me? Was I too gentle before? Or are you in your rebellious period?"
White Crescent Moon slammed the table: "Pulling during the game, and fighting with me in the lounge, is this your pull and fight?"
