Chapter 76: Focus on laning or winning the game?

There is actually a reason why the two of them remained silent.

Last year, VG met IG and thought they would be evenly matched.

Unexpectedly, they were defeated by IG.

The worst is the middle lane.

Rookie in S5 had actually already made his mark, but under the shadow of God Wei, he seemed a little ordinary. But even so, IG in S5 successfully advanced to the World Championship.

It was also because of this that VG came up with the idea of ​​buying back the mid lane to strengthen the team, and that's how they found Hou Ye.

But even so, the two were a little scared when they recalled the miserable situation they encountered with IG last time.

To be honest, I've never been beaten like that!
However, Lin Dong, who was standing by, did not feel too much pressure after hearing that the opponent was IG.

IG in S5 was very strong, and IG in S7S8 was also very strong.

But the strength of IG in S6 was really average.

"If I remember correctly, the top, mid and jungle of IG are Zzitai, General Sturgeon and Rookie right now?"

"Zitzi is okay this season, and General Sturgeon is also in average form. We just need to find a way to deal with Rookie..."

Thinking of this, Lin Dong frowned and subconsciously looked at Leng Shao not far away.

Is this day finally coming?
The top-level confrontation between the two solo kill kings in both seasons S6 and S7.

It is conceivable what the situation will be like in the middle lane at that time.

But here too the problem arises.

Facing IG of S6, if you want to win the game, Leng Shao is actually not the best choice.

Because if I remember correctly, Rookie in S6 was like Leng Shao, almost the director of an orphanage. He was very fierce in laning phase, but he just couldn't win.

The reason is also very simple.

How to play if the middle lane is the only advantage?

Unless you can completely kill the opponent during the laning phase, wouldn't it be enough for them to just avoid the laning phase, not attack the middle lane, focus on the weak lane, and then snowball?

It just so happens that in today's IG, General Sturgeon has moved from the AD position to the jungle position, and IG's bottom lane has become an obvious breakthrough point.

In this situation, the importance of the Marquis is reflected.

For a moment, Lin Dong began to have a headache.

[It’s bad. I want to watch the two kings of single kills against each other, and I also want to win the game. What should I do? 】

[If Leng Shao plays, the middle lane will definitely be very interesting, and both sides will definitely perform at their best. It will be exciting, but it will be difficult to win. ]

[But the problem is... If we want to win the game, it will definitely be easier for Hou Ye to go up, especially Hou Ye's Ice Maiden, who is his best hero. There is almost no player in the LPL who can match his Ice Maiden. At that time, I only need to target the middle lane, force Rookie to retreat, and then take Hou Ye to roam the bottom lane, and the rhythm will be easy to get up. ]

While Lin Dong was still struggling over who to choose, Li Yue beside him had already made the decision for him.

As the boss, of course winning the game is more important!
What’s the point of a brilliant mid-lane move?

Anyway, I can't understand it.

So Li Yue said decisively.

"If we're playing against IG, Lord Hou will go up and fight. Young Master Leng will take a break. Lin Dong, you will cooperate with Lord Hou when the time comes."

After hearing Li Yue's arrangement, Lin Dong could only nod.

To be honest, at that moment Lin Dong suddenly understood the frustration that Hou Ye had felt when he was in SKT.

So what if you have strong personal abilities?
If you can't help your teammates win the game better, then everything is useless. At the critical moment, whoever has a greater chance of winning will win.

In comparison, the Marquis is even more miserable.

His performance is not as entertaining as Faker's.

But apart from sighing, Lin Dong didn't say anything.

Who made Leng Shao focus all his talents on laning?
Look at Rookie later. He was also a solo kill king. After experiencing version changes, he learned how to support, develop, and fight in a team, and his performance was quite good.

Shaking his head, Lin Dong decided to try to catch fish for a week. As for the two games between VG and EPA and HYG, to be honest, Lin Dong couldn't even bear to watch them.

In the S6 season, the promotion and relegation mechanism still exists, and many secondary league teams are still trying their best to get into the LPL, such as the YM team under PDD.

But the problem is... many people ignore one issue.

That is, every major professional team has its own youth training team.

Young players with strength and talent are directly selected by the youth training team, and after training, they will be able to enter the LPL arena soon.

Who would play in the secondary league for no reason?

Especially since this is a team game, once the teammates are not strong enough, it will be difficult to stand out even in the secondary league, and it will be a complete waste of time.

And what if we advance to LPL?
The average level of the teams is too different. They may be able to stand out in the secondary leagues, but in the LPL, they can only be abused. There are many teams that successfully advance but fall back in the blink of an eye.

Only very few teams have the chance to make it all the way out of the secondary league.

It is also because of this that the quality of players in the secondary league became worse and worse, and in the end they were not even qualified to be runners-up. The match between the German Cup and the LPL teams was a one-sided situation. In the end, even the LPL teams had to let go and let the substitute players and the players of the youth training team go up to play against the secondary league teams.

This was also the main reason why LPL later cancelled the promotion and relegation system.

EPA and HYG are such teams.

After two Bo3 games, there were problems in laning phases in almost every game.

However, when playing against EPA, Lin Dong saw a familiar face.

The warrior laning between GimGoon and Long Ge was indeed exciting, but it was a pity that EPA's mid and bottom lanes exploded, and he was powerless to turn the tide.

As for HYG…

Lin Dong had no impression at all.

And soon, the day to play against IG arrived.

After this period of cooperation, the Marquis has learned a lot of Chinese.

Just before going on stage, he suddenly smiled at Lin Dong and asked in Chinese.

"How do we play this round?"

After hearing what Lord Hou said, Lin Dong glanced at IG's current lineup and spoke directly.

"Hold on, don't go head-to-head with the opponent's mid laner, wait for me to come and gank, then go train the opponent's bottom lane. This game is the same as the one against EDG."

"I understand." The Marquis smiled, but when he looked at his side and found that it was Brother Long who came on the field instead of Brother Shengqiang, he suddenly asked, "Don't you want Lulu?"

"No need. We don't need to play in the late game this time." Lin Dong shook his head. "IG and EDG are different. They can't operate. We should choose a strong combination in the bottom lane to snowball."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Hongmi also came over.

In comparison, Hongmi's talent for Chinese is not as high as Houye's, so he can only speak with the help of a translator.

"It's right not to play in the late game. There's no need to waste time. IG's bottom lane is clearly a weakness right now, so you can go for training. But the problem is that in this game, the opponent may target you in BP, so you have to find a way to control the early game rhythm. Not only that, no matter whether Hou Ye chooses Ice Girl or other mid laners, they generally can't provide much damage in the early game, so you have to find a way to make up for this shortcoming."

"You need to choose a jungler with strong early-game rhythm and high damage."

"And it's best to choose first to avoid being snatched away by the opponent."

"The most suitable jungle heroes at the moment are... Lee Sin and Nidalee. Which one would you choose?"

Hearing Hongmi's words, Lin Dong was stunned for a moment and was about to speak.

"blind……"

But the next second, he suddenly fell silent.

Because he suddenly thought of General Sturgeon's blind monk, there seemed to be a famous scene where he touched the eye with one centimeter.

Combined with my 50-50 system, I won't be...

Suddenly, Lin Dong shuddered subconsciously and changed his words.

"No, Leopard Girl!"
