Chapter 187 When you lose, everything you say sounds like an excuse
As luck would have it, after the game ended, the director did not immediately announce who the MVP of this round was.

On the contrary, it first gives multi-dimensional data of both teams and each player.

Among them, there are two data below one of the contestants, which are far higher than others, and can even be said to be far ahead! The best in the whole field!

That's right!

That is Lin Dong’s excavator in this round!

Participation rate! 100%!

The well-deserved rhythm core!
The highest score for vision!
Whether it is the number of vision arrangements or the number of killing eyes, it is the highest!
Even twice as much as the opposing jungler Kindred!
Especially the exaggerated number of kill wards, which is even more than the rest of VG combined!
Looking at this exaggerated data, it is impossible for people not to be shocked!

Because for many LPL viewers, SKT is a mountain that is difficult to climb. From S5 to S6, LPL is always under the shadow of LCK, so there are so many so-called "anti-Korean heroes".

Although there have been LPL teams that have defeated SKT in previous MSIs, such as EDG last year.

But I have never won it so easily like today's Bo1!

more importantly……

In this game, VG suppressed SKT in terms of operations!

You know, when it comes to operations, the LCK region is the strongest!

Not to mention SKT, the strongest team of SKT!
So, the moment these data appeared, not only the audience below the stage were excited, but even the barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly became dense.

"???"

"Fuck, this vision score, this participation rate, are they true? Are they so scary?"

"It's over. Winter God has turned into a ward killer this time, right?"

"No, SKT lost already? Isn't this loss a bit too ridiculous?"

"Brother Li fell down! (crying)"

"To be honest, Faker really didn't have much room to play in this game. He played well, but the other positions were not strong, especially Blank's Kindred. I don't know what he was playing in this game."

"0-5-0, only four layers of marks in thirty-five minutes, I can do it."

"Haha! You go in? If you go in, you will know what cruelty is. Even though Winter God only wins by providing vision and playing the tempo, do you understand the value of a 100% participation rate?"

Of course, although most of the audience were quite excited, there were still a small number of SKT fans who felt unsatisfied. After all, as a championship team, they had many fans even in the LPL, so many people spoke out.

"He actually installed it after winning a round? Isn't it all because Blank is such a bad guy that we won this round?"

"If you don't know, you would think it's the finals! Haha, this is really a villain who has succeeded. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

"It's only the first game of the group stage. Isn't it a bit too early to open champagne at halftime?"

"I wonder if Blank didn't pick Kindred and didn't explode in the early game, could VG win?"

"Haha, EDG and LGD also boasted like this last year, but guess what happened? They were still treated like dogs in the World Championship. What's the point of winning one game in the group stage? See you in the finals if you can!"

But no matter what, with SKT's defeat, almost at the same time, whether in the live broadcast room or on the forum, it seemed that everyone started discussing this matter.

Especially the famous anti-stress and scapegoat forum, where many new posts appeared in an instant.

"On how terrifying the performance of the Winter God was in this game."

"Controlling more than half of the entire map's field of view, 100% participation rate, is this a human?"

《SKT is down! Blank is the criminal!》

"SKT's weakness has been found, vision suppression, full map perspective!"

"Is there any other explanation for Saint Spear's early TP besides opening it?"

《It is confirmed that VG has opened the perspective cheat! 》

"A new idea for junglers: don't farm buffs at the beginning, just farm small monsters?"

……

Once such posts are published, they immediately attract discussions from many netizens.

Many curious players took screenshots and began to analyze the situation.

"From a bird's eye view, VG is actually SKT's vision, right? So how did VG know Blank was counter-camping?"

"If this is consciousness, how terrifying would it be? It can predict the future, right?"

"If he didn't know SKT was counter-camping, how could Saint Spear have teleported down in advance? He obviously lost the minion line with this teleport!"

"Nonsense! In that wave, Holy Spear wasn't planning to catch Kindred at all. Didn't he see VG's signal at that time? They clearly thought Kindred and Braum had left the bottom lane, so they were planning to let Holy Spear catch Lucian!"

"Fuck, it seems to be true!"

“To be honest, the Winter God did play well, but there was definitely an element of luck involved.”

"Winning is winning, so what's all that bullshit? Didn't anyone say SKT won because of luck? Where did all the Korean bullshit come from?"

"But Dong Shen's playstyle is indeed worth studying. The vision control and early-game rhythm are so great that even Blank is overwhelmed."

"Nonsense, in this round, the river crab and the four birds were almost all controlled by the God of Winter. Every time they returned to the city, they had to bring two true eyes. The mid-jungle fight was still advantageous. How could the vision control be bad?"

"Vision control is only one aspect. The key is to find opportunities through vision! EDG also arranged vision very well in every game, but did EDG find opportunities?"

"The key is not to refresh the buff at the beginning, and then go around SKT's mid lane to the bottom lane. This strategy directly confused Blank, but the problem is... who would dare to play like this?"

"..."

at the same time.

Huya platform, in a live broadcast room.

A bald man in front of the screen became excited as he watched the game screen in front of him.

"Brothers! What did I say? That's the trick! Yes! That's the trick!"

"During the VG finals, I said this strategy was awesome!"

"Don't farm buffs at the beginning, just farm small monsters, and then use the saved time to do things!"

"I released a video with No. 7 before, and a lot of people criticized me! Are they still criticizing me now?"

"Apologize to me!"

Suddenly, many "I'm sorry" flashed across the live broadcast room.

Looking at this scene, the bald man's face almost cracked with laughter, and his expression immediately became smug.

That’s right, he is Xiaoxiao, a former professional player, known as the invincible man before level 6!

Of course, the reason why he is invincible before level six is ​​that after reaching level six, he will transform into a space demon.

So much so that there is even a classic saying in the League of Legends circle.

"At first I thought Sun Yalong was playing me, but later I realized he was really a wimp!"

However, after retiring, he did not disappear, but turned to the currently popular video and live broadcast industry and was reborn.

In particular, the "Middle-aged People Fighting against Korea" series he created with Boxer No. 7 attracted a large number of fans and audiences with their various tricks on the Korean server.

As luck would have it, just after the recent spring season finals, Lin Dong's jungle style of not starting the game by brushing off the buff immediately inspired the two, so they decisively released a gimmicky video.

The title is "God-level jungle routine, full-map parkour flow, no buffs, only people!"

Of course, the result speaks for itself.

After all, the two of them were not really there to teach technology, but to do some work, so naturally they were scolded a lot.

Even though they were scolded, the two were not annoyed. At least they had gained popularity!

But no one expected that when VG played against SKT today, Lin Dong actually used this tactic again and started to help them clear their name!

And...it happens to be the team playing against LCK!
So the moment he saw this scene, Sun Yalong immediately turned into a ten-year-old fan of VG and raised the VG flag in the live broadcast room!
"A ten-year old VG fan came uninvited! Who is SKT? I will end his life!"

"To be honest, if VG can beat SKT by one game in this MSI, I can brag about them for a month. If they can beat SKT in a Bo5, I can brag about them for a year! If VG can win the championship, I can brag about them for the rest of my life!"

Of course, he probably forgot at this moment that the last team he said this to was already going to play in the relegation match.

But seeing SKT lose, whether it was him, No. 7 standing next to him, or the fans in the live broadcast room, they all became excited.

"Holy crap! VG actually won!"

"To be honest, given SKT's performance against G2 yesterday, who would have believed that VG could win today?"

"Hey! To be honest, this excavator doesn't seem to be doing anything, and his output and damage resistance data are not impressive, but he is making contributions every time! The rhythm point of each time is on him."

"Is it okay for everyone to call him the God of Winter?"

"If we don't give him the MVP of this round, wouldn't that be a bit unreasonable?"

Soon after the game ended, the MVP was finally announced. Looking back at the screen, Lin Dong was a little surprised to see that it was his own MVP.

Because in this game, apart from a few contributions in the early stages, he really didn't do much later on, and his presence was not very obvious.

There is no way, Excavator is such a jungle hero.

Entering from the front relies too much on flash, and if you want to enter from the side, it is easy for the opponent to detect you.

Therefore, without flash, you basically cannot take the initiative. You can only wait for your teammates to take the initiative and then rush forward to connect and control.

When it comes to starting a team fight, I am not as good as Minotaur.

In terms of resistance to injuries, I am not as good as the dragon turtle.

In terms of continuous output, I am not as good as skateboard shoes.

In terms of burst damage, I am not as good as Ahri.

As a result, the MVP was given to himself, which really made Lin Dong a little flattered.

However, his action of turning back made the others mistakenly believe that Lin Dong was trying to confirm whether he was the MVP.

So, Leng Shao walked over with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and teased him.

"Okay, stop looking. Apart from you, is there anyone else qualified to be the MVP?"

"To be honest, this is making me feel really good!"

“It feels like if you do anything, you win!”

After hearing what Mr. Leng said, Lin Dong was immediately filled with question marks!
???

混？
You have the highest output in the team, why are you still hanging around?
So what is this game for me?
But looking at Leng Shao's calm expression, as if he was being sarcastic to him, Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

"Oh, I see."

"What he meant by 'mixing' is that he only needs to take care of the laning phase and not the tempo, right?"

“This game is indeed his favorite match.”

"He just needs to fight on the laning line. He doesn't need to use his brain for other things."

Seeing this, Xiao Duan and Sheng Qiange, who were standing nearby, also came over and started to praise each other commercially.

"This fighting style is really awesome!"

"The previous wave was hilarious. I was originally planning to find Lucian, but I didn't expect to find Kindred."

"SKT was so calculating. They lost not only their wife but also their troops. Kindred was directly blown through."

"That's because Lin Dong handled it well in the beginning! To be honest, it was a good thing that I picked a dragon turtle! It runs really fast! The AD and jungler on the opposite side couldn't do anything to me. In the last game, I didn't do anything. I won just by taking the beatings. Hahaha."

"..."

Hearing the conversation between several people, Lin Dong smiled faintly.

It's not easy to beat SKT, so it's normal to be excited.

Whether for the audience or the players, it is a great honor to defeat SKT.

But in comparison, Lin Dong was much calmer.

Because he knew very well that an arrogant army will inevitably be defeated.

An example is that RNG smiled all the way to S9.

Winning one game against SKT is nothing.

Although Kindred is indeed Blank's favorite hero, it does not mean that this is his only favorite hero.

What if he chooses an early-game rhythm jungle hero next time?

What's more...SKT also brought substitutes to this MSI!
If things get really desperate, Kkoma might just let Bengi play!

At that time, with Bengi defending the middle lane, Faker might really turn into a big devil.

However, Lin Dong did not spoil everyone's fun like Hongmi did. He just waved his hand and said.

"Okay, let's wait for the next fight. We just won one game, so the next part is the important part!"

the other side.

It’s different from the harmonious tone of everyone in VG.

As soon as he stepped off the stage, everyone in SKT saw Kkoma with a gloomy face, clasping his hands and staring at everyone with a bad look.

Suddenly, the SKT lounge became quiet.

It is obvious that Kkoma is in a very bad mood at this moment!
Lost to the LPL team?
What a shame!

Losing to an LPL team with former SKT players?

It's an unacceptable shame!

In the lost game, the former SKT player didn’t even play?

It is an unacceptable humiliation!
So when Kkoma saw everyone leaving the stage, his first words were to directly question Blank.

"What are you playing this round? Why are you playing so badly?"

After hearing what Kkoma said, Blank could only answer reluctantly.

"Qian Jue is too weak in the early game. I can't do anything about it..."

Unexpectedly, this explanation did not satisfy Kkoma.

On the contrary, Kkoma became furious.

"What do you mean there's no way? You're making excuses for yourself again!"

“Will your opponent listen to your excuses?”

"In the second 30-second wave, when you found yourself surrounded, you could have decisively chosen to give up the tower. Why didn't you? Instead, you chose to let your teammates come to rescue you?"

"If the bottom lane didn't come to rescue you, Lucian's two skills were still there, and the opponent's skateboard shoes couldn't get the first blood. Although you lost a blue buff, you would have a chance to kill the bottom lane after resurrection!"

“Why be greedy?”

"Qian Jue is weak in the early stage, but don't forget, this hero is your best! Your task is to find a way to survive the early stage!"

"Didn't you watch the opposing team's video? Why was his Amumu able to decisively choose to give up the tower even when he was at a disadvantage? But you can't!"

"..."

Blank was still a little unconvinced after being scolded, and was about to retort, but was stopped by Faker's eyes not far away.

At that moment, Blank finally understood the true meaning of Kkoma's favorite saying.

"When you lose, everything you say is just an excuse."

So he could only accept it silently, and only apologized after Kkoma finished speaking.

"I'm sorry, this round is my fault. I will pay attention next time."

Seeing Blank's sincere attitude, Kkoma could only hold it in for a while, and finally he sighed, waved his hand, and said.

"Remember, don't make such a low-level mistake next time!"

"Okay, go take a break. We still have another game to play today! You can't lose this time, you can only win!"

Soon, the SKT team received the order and left.

Looking at the backs of everyone, a trace of uneasiness finally appeared on Kkoma's face.

He even felt a hint of fear from it.

Not because of anything else.

If in this round, it was just VG that made good use of the team battle, or seized SKT's mistakes and won the game, perhaps Kkoma would not be so worried.

But the problem is... in this game, SKT lost because of the rhythm of the mid and jungle!

This is the most deadly!
There have always been problems between SKT's mid and jungle rhythm, and he is the most aware of it.

As a coach, his biggest task is to prevent other people and other teams from discovering the existence of this problem!
Because once discovered, SKT will definitely be targeted in various ways!
And someone specifically targeted this weakness!
Thinking of this, Kkoma murmured in a low voice.

"so……"

"The opponent knows SKT's weakness..."

"Or is this just a coincidence?"
