Chapter 115 Another Way to Fight the Earthbound Spirit

At the same time, in the VG lounge.

Looking at the situation between the two sides on the screen, even the Marquis couldn't help but shook his head.

"The opponent's game should be over."

Because he could see at a glance that QG's rhythm was completely messed up.

At the beginning, the chaos was in the middle and wild.

Then neither the jungler nor the mid laner compromised with the other, especially the jungler, who stopped cooperating with the mid laner and started to cause trouble together with the top and bottom lanes.

As a result, the top and bottom lanes were also destroyed.

Although it was definitely not Ten Thousand Volts' fault on the surface, his initial idea was indeed correct. As long as Kennen's flash was caught, QG's pressure would be much less, and the decision to evacuate from the Baron pit was not wrong.

But the key is...

No one expected that Zhao Xin, who arrived late with the help of Tam's ultimate, used an ER flash to directly sweep the two back.

On the other side, Thresh, who came to support his teammates, turned out to be a traitor and killed the mid laner.

For QG, now the problem is that they can’t beat the rhythm, and they can’t compete in terms of operation.

If VG didn't use the keyboard to leak milk and all the players got sick at this time, QG would have no hope of turning the game around.

However, thinking of this, the Marquis suddenly felt a little bit of admiration for Lin Dong.

He sighed subconsciously.

"Speaking of which... Lin Dong's style is really different from the opponent's jungler's style. Lin Dong seems to be able to cooperate well with every position in our team, and even with players of different styles in each position."

"Look at QG's jungler..."

“When we have the advantage, it’s really powerful.”

"But when they are at a disadvantage, QG still relies a lot on their mid laner, but this jungler seems... not very willing to help the mid laner."

As a mid laner, Hou Ye even felt a bit of the same way.

This kind of play style is really hard for the mid laner.

When Hongmi heard this, he was speechless, and then he spoke directly to the point.

"Style? I think it's personality."

"What?" The Marquis was stunned.

"The opposing jungler is too strong, just like their AD, they only want their teammates to revolve around themselves." Hongmi sneered at this, "To put it nicely, it's called confidence, to put it bluntly, it's arrogance, their playing style is toxic, and they don't care about the lives of their teammates."

"But Lin Dong is different."

"Don't you see that this guy always looks like a good guy, but he gets angry at the slightest provocation?"

"His personality is that of a smart, but lazy person."

"In other words, what he likes most is... to get the biggest return with the smallest effort."

"So in the game, as long as anyone of you is capable of carrying, no matter who it is, he will help. He doesn't care who is carrying the game, as long as we can win."

"But..."

At this point, a smile suddenly appeared on Hongmi's face.

"Every time I asked him to be the C at a critical moment, he was able to stand out. This is the most rare thing."

“It would be even better if he could stand out in every inning!”

Of course, Redmi had no idea at that time.

Whether Lin Dong can stand out depends entirely on how strong the opposing jungler is!
So... most of the time, Lin Dong would rather lie down.

However, their analysis was not wrong.

The second game of Bo3 ended with QG's crushing defeat in less than 25 minutes.

When everyone returned to the stage, they could no longer hold back the smiles on their faces.

Only Gao Jun, the manager, felt heart bleeding.

the reason is simple.

In the second game, VG achieved what Li Yue wished for, which they failed to achieve in the first game!
Exquisite Tower!
In the second game, VG was unstoppable in the first two waves of rhythm, and QG could not resist at all.

0 kills, 0 dragons, 0 defense towers.

And just as Li Yue had promised before, everyone on VG in this game successfully achieved "merit" and received an extra bonus.

Seeing so many bonuses being given out in one go, Gao Jun, who, although he did not have to pay a penny, still had to help record and even be responsible for distributing bonuses and wages, felt his eyes go dark and his heart ached after just one look at the numbers!

Prodigal!

What a waste!

The key is……

Looking at these numbers, Gao Jun suddenly felt a little desperate.

I'm afraid my managerial career will end with VG.

why?
nonsense!

If any team owner saw Gao Jun, a "professional manager", spending huge amounts of money on players, who would want him to manage the club?
what?
You said that giving out money was not the manager's idea, but the boss's?
Is it possible that someone is investing in the club to do charity?
Do you think anyone would believe it?
When he thought of this, Gao Jun looked at Li Yue not far away with a bitter face.

Looking at his expression, Li Yue couldn't help but feel in a good mood.

"You won the game, why aren't you happy?"

"Boss, I..." Gao Jun forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "Boss, do you know that our expenses for this spring season alone are enough to buy a new LPL team quota? Should we save money from now on..."

Hearing Gao Jun's words, Li Yue couldn't help but complain inwardly.

If I don’t spend more money, who will give me cash back?
Where do my car and my bag come from?
The more you spend, the better your team's performance and the more cashback you get.

Still saving?

Save your life!

Thinking of this, Li Yue said casually.

"It's okay, just the flowers are fine, what I want is the results."

"But..." Gao Jun wanted to say something.

"Tsk, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is." Li Yue looked disdainful, "I didn't spend your money, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

"..."

Looking at Li Yue's graceful and lively back, Gao Jun almost cried out at that moment.

Oh shit!

It’s great to be a rich second generation!
The son sells the grandfather's land, and he really doesn't feel sorry at all!
But why make things difficult for yourself as a worker?
At the same time, on the other side, the same discussion was taking place.

Hongmi immediately reviewed the game with QG and reminded them.

"Just to remind you, the reason why we won so easily against QG is obviously because there was a problem with the coordination between the opponent's mid and jungle."

"Next time we play against RNG, there is a high probability that this problem will not occur against the opponent's mid and jungle."

"Although RNG's mid-jungle style is similar to QG's, it is not the same."

"Mlxg is the kind of jungler who likes to do things and knows how to make choices. He doesn't just pursue his own development. Xiaohu, the mid laner, prefers to roam and his laning ability is not strong."

"So according to the previous arrangement... Leng Shao will still be in the middle..."

However, at this moment, the Marquis on the side suddenly spoke.

"The...coach?"

"If we play against RNG, can I try to play a game?"

Hearing the Marquis' words, everyone in the lounge was stunned.

Although Hou Ye is indeed the champion mid laner, after coming to VG, he is really humble and approachable.

Especially when arranging the starting roster, even if Hongmi let a new player who had never appeared in the LPL play and let Hou Ye be a substitute, he never had any objection.

So when they heard that the Marquis actually asked to go on stage, everyone was a little surprised.

The Marquis continued to explain.

"I know I'm not good enough to kill alone. After all, my style is to develop and play in the late game, but I can't always avoid fighting, right?"

"What if we meet a midlaner on the opposite side who is very strong in development, support, late-game ability, and laning?"

"When the time comes, no matter if it's me or Young Master Leng who's on the field, if the opponent suddenly changes the formation, then wouldn't that be..."

Hearing the Marquis say this, Lin Dong beside him immediately understood.

[Oh, I understand! ]

[The Marquis wants to train himself. 】

[To be honest, it is true. I am not afraid of the opponent's mid and jungle being strong, after all, their styles can be studied thoroughly. I am afraid of the opponent having an all-rounder who can do everything and is strong in all types. This is the most troublesome.]

[If you think the opponent is going to play in the late game, but they let Hou Ye go, and the opponent's lineup changes, then you suddenly have to put enough pressure on the mid laner in the early game to win the game...]

[It's not impossible. The stronger the team, the stronger the research ability of the coaching staff and the more versatile the players. Once they figure out a countermeasure, it will be very difficult to beat them.]

[How strong was Mlxg later on? In the end, it was clearly arranged by the opponent's coaching staff. In the late game, RNG was forced to let Karsa play. ]

[To be honest, it is indeed possible to let the Marquis go up and try it. ]

[I just don’t know if this little rich woman will agree…]

Thinking of this, Lin Dong subconsciously glanced at Li Yue not far away.

At the same time, Gao Jun, who was just worried about his future, immediately became serious when he heard this and said.

"This...isn't quite the same as what was arranged before?"

nonsense!

For my own future, the only thing I can do now is to cling to the VG boss's thigh!
Otherwise, if I leave VG, I really might not be able to find a job!

However, as soon as Gao Jun finished speaking, Li Yue behind him answered.

"Just let the Marquis go."

"what?"

Gao Jun was confused.

This thing seems to be different from what we agreed!

"It's a best-of-three game anyway. If we lose, we can just replace someone else to save the game. What's wrong with that?" Li Yue glanced at Gao Jun and said earnestly, "As a manager, how can you not trust our players? Don't do it again. If you do it again, I'll deduct your bonus."

"I TM..."

At that moment, Gao Jun felt like crying but had no tears!
Wasn't this something you arranged yourself, boss?
Why is it my problem now?
as predicted!

A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea!
A woman’s mouth is a liar!
All women are transformed from eels!
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!
Especially a tigress! At the same time, the RNG people on the other side.

Watching the game between VG and QG, everyone fell silent.

Because at the beginning, RNG was actually benchmarked against QG.

After all, mid laners are more team-oriented and tend to play in the late game, while junglers all play very aggressively, and they are all experts in playing Nidalee.

Therefore, all RNG members are paying close attention to QG's game.

I thought I could analyze something from the game between QG and VG, but it would have been better if I hadn't watched it. I saw that QG was hit by VG's Linglong Tower.

Mata on the side couldn't bear to watch it, and shook his head and sighed.

"It's so tragic. It's really so tragic."

"What on earth are QG playing? The rhythm is too chaotic!"

However, Xiaohu didn't listen to Mata's words at all.

Since they were both mid laners, the first thing he put himself into was Doinb's perspective.

I thought I could learn something from Doinb about how to deal with VG, who is obviously a newcomer but has extremely strong laning ability.

The result was a glance.

It turned out that Doinb was also stunned!
The key is……

Xiaohu watched it several times but didn't figure out what went wrong in Doinb's laning phase.

Isn't this a normal laning match?

Why did he die suddenly?
How does this work?
Especially after seeing that QG's jungler didn't even care about the mid laner in the mid-game, Xiaohu felt the same way.

So he subconsciously looked at Mlxg not far away and asked weakly.

"Well... in the next game against VG, the opponent will most likely use that mid laner instead of Lord Hou."

"When the time comes, you'll probably have to help out in the middle!"

"If I don't help, I might end up as miserable as QG's mid laner..."

After hearing what Xiaohu said, Mlxg was speechless and replied.

"You won't be as miserable as him."

"Oh?" Xiaohu looked delighted, "Will you come to help me?"

"No, what I mean is... if we only look at your laning ability, you're not as good as Doinb. If you get killed by a laning opponent, it will be even worse than this." Mlxg shook his head and sighed, "How about... don't think about growing to the late game and carrying the game, just muddle through? If you explode in the early game, how can you expect to have a late game?"

“……”Xiaohu.

Listening to the conversation between the two, head coach Fly couldn't help but shook his head and said.

"To be honest, QG helped us in this game."

"Who knew at the beginning that VG's mid laner would actually play Nightmare and Wei?"

“I think we need to re-examine the opponent’s mid laner’s hero pool.”

“We can’t just limit ourselves to the mid-lane assassin, we also need to look at assassins in other positions, especially heroes who can clear lanes quickly!”

"The problem is, there's no time left."

"We're going to play VG tomorrow."

After thinking for a moment, Fly made a decision immediately.

"Forget it. We're going to play VG tomorrow. We should be more stable in the middle lane and try to deal with the early game first."

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

The next day, just when Fly was thinking hard and discussing with the coaching staff how to deal with Leng Shao, the staff brought bad news.

VG has changed players!
In the starting lineup, Icon's name in the mid lane was replaced by Easyhoon!

Looking at VG's lineup, Fly was stunned.

"Wait a minute?"

"Why is it the Marquis?"

"So, should we change our formation for this round?"

At the same time, in the commentary booth.

As the saying goes, things may change in the game, but the Haier Brothers remain.

Wawa and Miller both appear on the stage again.

And this time, there was one more person beside the two of them.

That's the Colonel!
This was a rare match where three people were on the same stage to commentate. Normally, this should have been a Bo5 configuration, but now it appeared in the commentary booth for the Bo3 of the regular season, which was obviously amiss.

At the same time, as soon as Wawa opened his mouth, he brought a piece of news that made everyone in the audience go crazy.

"Welcome to the competition!"

"I'm sure many viewers have noticed that our commentary today is a little different from usual."

"Yes, that's right. This time, I will commentate today's match between RNG and VG with Miller and Ze Yuan!"

The colonel at the side also took over the conversation and continued.

"The regular season of the spring season is almost over, and this is also the last game week of the regular season!"

"At the end of this week, LPL will officially enter the playoffs!"

"At present, VG is still at the top of the standings and has already secured the first place in Group A. Moreover, it has won all the games in the Spring Split, crushing the other teams!"

"So everyone should have guessed why there are three commentators here at the same time today."

"Because if VG still wins today's match, then VG will create a new historical record in LPL!"

"A big win in the spring regular season!"

"And this... is also the first team to win the award after the League of Legends Pro League changed its competition system!"

"So you can imagine how much pressure today's game will bring to both teams!"

"But we also hope that RNG can withstand this pressure, play to its full potential, and bring the most exciting games to the audience."

"Next, let me wait and see!"

"Now, please invite the contestants to come on stage!"

at the same time.

Below the stage, Lin Dong was almost at a loss as to what to do as he watched the rare formation arranged by the authorities.

It’s just the last game of the regular season, not the spring finals, why make such a big fuss?

But seeing the team members unable to hide their excitement, Lin Dong finally understood.

"We won all the regular season games in the spring season..."

“It’s barely a record.”

"It's a pity that I have no interest in this thing."

Of course, there is a reason why Lin Dong thinks this way.

In the original timeline, didn’t EDG also win all the regular season games in the summer season?

The results of it?
As soon as the world competition arrived, everyone woke up immediately, and even the factory manager's eyes became clear.

After the World Championship, Zzitai was so heartbroken that he almost retired.

No matter how good you are in the regular season, it will be useless if you are treated like a dog in the World Championship, right?
Shaking his head, Lin Dong ignored all this.

The Marquis on the side came over and began to discuss the tactics of this game with Lin Dong again.

"Lin Dong, I want to ask you something."

"I'm not very good at laning, and I'm not good at assassins. In this situation, in this situation, how can I exert suppression power in the middle lane?"

After hearing the Marquis' words, Lin Dong also fell into deep thought.

Because what the Marquis said is actually a bit contradictory.

His style is to bind the earth spirit in the middle lane. He is super stable in laning and it is extremely difficult to catch him.

But the problem is, if he wants to suppress the laning phase, he will inevitably push the line forward, and pushing the line forward means that the risk of being ganked increases, which is completely inconsistent with the style of the Hou Ye.

In Lin Dong's opinion, the Marquis is more suitable to be the kind of hero who keeps losing at the back.

For example, during the LCK period, Hou Ye’s Ziggs was a unique skill.

To be honest, Lin Dong couldn't think of any good solution for the Marquis' situation at first.

Until... he heard Xiaoduan's words not far away.

"The opponent's jungler's style is a bit similar to Ten Thousand Volts? Will he train the bottom lane?"

"Afraid of shit!"

"At worst, we can do the same as last time. Marco will choose Varus and I will choose Tam. We won't go up to attack, but just hide behind and throw!"

He does not mean that.

The moment he heard this, Lin Dong’s eyes suddenly lit up!
"Lost? Yes! Lost!"

“Just throw it away!”

"Who said that to suppress the opponent in the lane, you must cross the line of soldiers?"

"Hiding behind the line of soldiers and throwing skills to injure the opponent, isn't that also considered suppression?"

"That's right. This style of play is also quite suitable for the Marquis."

"The key is that this kind of gameplay requires stability!"

"Because if the opponent wants to crack this style of play, there is only one way, and that is to force a team fight and rush in!"

"And the Marquis only needs to keep a safe distance from the opponent, and he won't be afraid of the opponent rushing!"

"That's right..."

"This is another way to fight the Earthbound Spirit..."

"Poke flow!"

Thinking of this, Lin Dong suddenly laughed and asked.

"Master Hou."

"Can you play Verus?"
