Chapter 239-Draw, Dream Back to S5
As soon as he returned to the training room, Wei Shen rubbed his head and sat down on the chair with force as if to vent his anger. His terrifying weight made the chair legs make a mournful sound.

The anger in his heart was directed at himself.

"I was targeted in the early stages of this game." Wei Shen said with his head down.

"I have problems too. I didn't do anything well in the early stages, which allowed the opponent's mid and jungle to take off." Xiang Guo scratched his head and said.

"Okay, okay, this isn't a blame-sharing meeting. Are you really going to arrest war criminals as the netizens say?"

Abu patted the two on the back with a relaxed look, "Champions are not that easy to win. Winning and losing are common in the military. We won the whole year last year. Do you think the Korean team has become weaker?"

"If I have to say, it was my BP problem. The opponent played out the red side's advantage in this round, but we didn't make good use of the blue side's advantage."

Abu took the blame on himself so that the players would not become impatient.

But everyone knows that in this version, the red side has a huge BP advantage, while the so-called advantage of the blue side is minimal.

When Tian Ye heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Abu, give me Minotaur...Grasshopper is strong, but too stable. The opponent can guess what I want to do in the last game. This is the upper limit of this hero."

Abu thought about it but didn't agree with Meiko. Instead, he suddenly said seriously, "Except for the top laner, there is not much difference in hard power between us and the Korean team. The victory or defeat depends largely on tactical decisions, BP lineup and the on-the-spot performance of each player. But these factors are too unstable. They are all temporary teams. I can't guarantee that we can beat the LCK coaching staff in BP. Do you agree with this?"

The maturity and perfection of the LCK coaching staff have indeed always been world-renowned.

The members of the Huaxia team looked at each other and all turned their eyes to Yuan Shen.

Except for the top lane...this sentence simply raised Yuan Shen to a very high position.

Jack and Xiao Ming, who also came from IG, have already been very proud of themselves. They are also proud that Yuan Shen has been recognized.

Mingkai and Xiangguo also nodded.

Yuan Shen’s strength is all-round.

And if Yuan Shen hadn't filled the top lane position, it would have been impossible for both of them to come to the Olympics.

Moreover, since participating in the Olympics, the strength and various imaginative ideas that Yuan Shen has demonstrated have also benefited them a lot.

However, it is still a little difficult for Uzi and Xiye to accept this.

They are all top star players, who would doubt that they are not as good as others?

To put it another way, we are all young people, who doesn’t want to save face?
Yes, Yuan Shen is the only FMVP in LPL who won the S championship, but one championship is not enough to put him on an unshakable altar.

Unless we win two or three consecutive championships...

That is the existence that can make other players bow their heads just by honor.

"Abu, what do you mean?" Yuan Shen scratched his face. He didn't expect Abu to suddenly do this. It really ruined the atmosphere.

"Nothing, it's just that I want to build the next BP around you so that you can give full play to your strength." Abu said: "I think that you are the only one among our four lines who can definitely beat the opponent in terms of hard power. Smeb is not as good as you."

The atmosphere in the lounge suddenly fell silent.

Yuan Shen was of course very happy to be recognized, but in this situation, he couldn't stand up and say anything.

Xiao Ming and Jack are not a good choice either, as that would make it seem like their EDG faction is bullying others by taking advantage of their power.

Half an hour passed.

"Around the top singles... I agree."

Flando put down the thermos in her hand and said seriously.

"I recognize Yuan's strength. Although the current version is the mid-jungle-support version, the opponent's mid-jungle-support is no worse than ours. I think we can try a point-to-point attack style and let the top laner set the pace."

"Yeah, it's still a bit difficult for us to compete in operations..."

Mingkai also admitted this.

If the entire EDG team comes, he is confident that they will not be at a disadvantage in operations.

After all, the other side was also a team put together in a hurry, so it’s not like they had perfect tacit understanding.

"I……"

Uzi only said one word and then lowered his head.

He still prefers to believe in himself.

Even when playing as Jhin, he did not think of giving up completely on his own development, but wanted to play his role as much as possible.

"In that case... in the next game, Mingkai, Su Hanwei, Yu Wenbo, Shi Senming, you guys go on stage."

Abu made a decision and then looked at Xiye.

"Can you sacrifice your own development?"

"I have no opinion."

Xiye smiled.

Wei Shen on the side became a little anxious.

"No, I can sacrifice myself too! Hanwei, listen to me, the opponent is Faker, he is very strong, you are young and can't control it, how about I do it?"

"It's okay. I can do that, too."

Xiye rolled his eyes at Wei Shen.

You've already played two games, do you really want me to lie down?
It’s not like he hasn’t done this before in protecting his teammates.

WE is a well-known double C conservation team. When the brother-in-law in the bottom lane was exerting his strength, he also served as a tool man.

There is no difference between winning by securing the next move and winning by securing the next move. They are just different ways to win the game.

Just like RNG in later generations, what they need is definitely not a Cary-type top laner like Theshy, but a top laner who can stabilize the situation no matter what opponent he faces, similar to Letme at his peak.

Those viewers who felt that RNG needed a strong top laner basically didn’t understand the game.

Ten minutes later, the third game will begin.

We scored one point first, but the opponent counterattacked and equalized the score.

This feeling of ups and downs makes many viewers feel worried and excited.

When watching a game, besides wanting the team you support to win, what you hope to see more is exciting confrontation and operations.

Even if the Korean team is not very capable in the LOL event, no matter how much one hates this nation, one must acknowledge the other side's strength.

Only by admitting can we make progress.

Before actually scoring the third point and winning the game, it is really hard to say who will win.

In the third game, the South Korean team returned to the blue side, while the Chinese team came to the red side.

In this BP, the Korean team obviously tasted the sweetness of the previous game and continued to eliminate the three heroes: Soul Reaper, Ryze, and Jayce.

Unless you have too many tactics to use, otherwise, if your BP in the previous game helped you win, you should not change your BP thinking. This is common sense in BO5 matches.

Uzi's departure freed up a ban position for the Korean team, allowing them to continue targeting Yuan Shen.

In the last game, Yuan Shen's Jayce put a lot of pressure on Smeb's Kennen, so he just suppressed it in this game.

On the Chinese team's side, they defeated Lee Sin, Malzahar, and Tam.

As for Tam, whether he is roaming to support or protecting people in team fights, he is so disgusting.

It fits the system style of the LCK team very well.

"The spider was released?"

Kkoma asked directly: "Peaunt, do you need me to grab a spider for you?"

"no need."

Peaunt smiled happily.

The last match between him and Xiangguo was full of passion. I thought Xiangguo would play in this match again, but I didn’t expect that the Huaxia team would bring Mingkai up again.

For Mingkai...

Peaunt has complicated feelings. To be honest, MingKai is the first Chinese player to defeat LCK and win the championship in a major tournament, and Yuan Shen has to be ranked behind.

And he is also a fan of Mingkai.

But the current Mingkai somewhat disappointed him.

Director, you are old.

The new era belongs to us young people!

"I have a lot of jungle heroes. I have too many heroes to choose from in this version."

Kkoma nodded without commenting.

During the spring season, Peaunt had a lot of jungle heroes. He even dared to play anti-version jungle heroes like Mantis and Warwick that had not appeared in the professional arena for a long time, and he performed very well.

This is a version where junglers rise, and there is no jungle hero that cannot be played.

Kkoma also has great confidence in Peaunt's ability. In fact, up to now in this Olympics, the best player on the Korean team is the top and jungle combination from ROX, followed by Ruler and CoreJJ in the bottom lane.

As for Faker, he is more familiar with SKT's system, unable to fully integrate into the team, and his condition is not good.

The young player Peaunt made Kkoma very regretful.

Blank is good, but it is undoubtedly a level lower than Peaunt.

Against the Chinese team, top laner Smeb met his natural enemy.

But Peaunt is different.

The performance in the first two games was excellent.

Especially in the second game, he overshadowed the opposing MLXG.

The carnivorous jungle and offensive style advocated in this version are very suitable for Peanut.

Version increase.

Historically, throughout the entire year of S6, if you had to choose the best jungler of the year, most people would vote for Peanut.

He is still in his prime and has not yet become a rookie.

The Korean team took the Taliyah for Faker in the first move.

This choice is somewhat provocative.

Because in the last game, Wei Shen took down Taliyah first, but was countered by the opponent's assassin.

Xiye raised his eyebrows and didn't say much.

If this was a RANK match, he would have directly used the assassin to teach backhand.

But now it’s different, we compete in the Olympics and win glory for our country. It’s okay to sacrifice a little.

As long as you can win.

Will suffice.

This is a team game.

The Chinese team's first two moves directly took down the spider, and...

Ice girl.

"Brother Xianghe, the opponent is still afraid of you. This newcomer beat GE Tiger last year. It seems that one year has not made him improve much."

In a year and a half, the Tigers have changed their name four times.

After Najin Sword and Najin Shield disbanded, the original members suddenly became stragglers in LCK, and new teams were born under their uprising.

The Tiger team's earliest name was Huya. In the 2015 LCK Spring Split, Huya was renamed GE Tiger. Although they were invincible in LCK, they were defeated by WE in the IEM9 World Finals.

In the 2015 LCK Summer Season, the team was renamed KOO tigers again due to sponsorship reasons, and in this spring season it was renamed ROX tigers again.

In the same vein, Peanut had already heard of this opponent that had once defeated the Tigers.

"I really don't dare to fight head-on. Should I choose an Ice Girl to push the line and roam? And ClearLove, is he going to teach me how to play Spider?"

"Wang Hu, talk less and fight hard!"

Smeb laughed.

"I know! Don't worry, Brother Jinghao."

Although Peaunt has the pride of being a talented young man, under the influence of the LCK environment, he listens to his predecessors very much.

Olaf, lock it down directly.

As the choice of Conter Spider, the hero Olaf is the father-level figure of Spider from level one to level eighteen.

Afterwards, the South Korean team locked down Kennen.

Kennen is to Smeb what Rambo is to MaRin.

That is a bottom-feeder hero that must be banned or picked even in the opposite version.

Moreover, the hero Kennen can do well in laning phases and can fight against any hero.

They can also leave a counter position for the bottom lane duo, killing two birds with one stone.

The Counter position on the fifth floor of the Huaxia team will most likely be reserved for Yuan Shen.

Therefore, the opponents on the third and fourth floors will lock the bottom lane.

And the choice of the Huaxia team...

"EZ and Morgana??"

Doll exclaimed.

"This combination is difficult to kill, but..."

"It's too functional. In this game, I'm afraid we want to play around the top single core."

Miller's words hit the nail on the head, and the South Korean team also vaguely guessed the Chinese team's tactical intentions.

But their top, mid and jungle positions have already been determined, and it is too late to change tactics now.

It’s not S5 now, we can’t move Kennen to the bottom lane, and ADC can choose another skater.

But the same logic applies...

It's not S5 now, you still want to play the single core strategy? ?
This is the absolute reverse version.

Although Yuan Shen is strong, can he reverse the version?

It's hard.

Even in last year's World Championship, Yuan Shen alone would not have been able to win the championship without the protection of his teammates.

This year's version forced Yuan Shen to switch from top lane to jungle.

The power of versions will always dominate the League of Legends.

In the last two picks, the South Korean team took Sivir and Karma.

They have to maintain the lineup idea from the previous game.

When facing Yuan Shen, the top laner just needs to maintain stable development, the mid and jungle must be strong, set the pace in the mid-term, and leave the late-term team battles to the bottom lane.

Next, the top lane hero who would obviously become the core of the Chinese team's lineup appeared.

Under the watchful eyes of the commentator, the Korean team, and the audience...

The woman appeared.

"I long for a worthy opponent!"

Peerless Swordswoman Fiona!
"Here it comes!! My roommate can finally watch Yuan Shen's Sword Princess again before he dies!!"

“Wow, Fiora with the champion skin is back!!”

"Sword Princess!! My favorite hero!!"

After Yuan Shen transformed into a jungler, many people thought that they would never see Yuan Shen playing the hero Fiora in professional competitions again.

After all, no matter how you think about it, Fiora as a jungler is so abstract that even in a bronze game it is not certain that such an orphan jungler can be selected.

But the Olympic casting made it all possible.

At the beginning, some people in the barrage were very nervous, and some were leading the rhythm of being defeated 3 to 1. But now they have started discussing Yuan Shen's Fiora. Is she still at the same level as last year?

Many people think that it is impossible to not play a hero that requires a lot of proficiency for half a year without any impact.

It wasn't until someone posted a download link for the fan fiction of Sword Lady and Yuan Shen that the haters stopped talking.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there will be fights and trolls everywhere.

But there is only one special moment that is always full of love and harmony. Netizens are of very high quality and very polite, and you can often see good people living peacefully on the screen.

That's when everyone is doing pornographic things.

But in the eyes of some people in the circle, the reason why the atmosphere has become relaxed is not just because everyone is playing around.

It was because when they saw the sword lady with the name Yuanshen marked on her, they instinctively felt at ease.

Only when you are well fed and warm can you think about lust!
The lineups of both sides are finalized.

"Huaxia team red side:
Top laner Yuanshen: Wushuang Sword Princess - Fiona

Jungle ClearLove: Spider Queen - Elise

Mid laner Xiye: Frost Queen - Lissandra

Bottom lane JackeyLove: Explorer-Ezreal
Support Name: Fallen Angel-Morgana

South Korea Blue Team:

Top laner Smeb: Heart of Fury - Kennen
Peanut: Berserker Olaf

Faker in the mid lane: Taliyah

Bottom Lane Ruler: Goddess of War - Sivir

Support CoreJJ: Karma, the Revelator. "

Before stepping down, the head coach of the South Korean team was still giving instructions.

"The opponent will definitely focus on the top lane in this game. You mid and jungle players should be careful. If the support finds an opportunity, they can also roam to the top lane. The opponent's bottom lane combination is not a threat."

This game is a crucial battle.

In the world championship, there has never been an example of a comeback from 05- down to -, and it is also rare to be able to play the full B.

Because once the match point is taken, the psychological pressure on the lagging team will be very great. The more top teams compete, the more likely this psychological disadvantage will affect the situation. In this case, few teams can last until the fifth game.

Not to mention, there is the pressure of the world stage.

Think about it, tens of millions of eyes are staring at you. Isn’t it scary?
Compared to this, the nervousness of standing on the flag stand and giving a speech at school is nothing.

Once a player comes back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-0 in a world series, it elevates his mentality and it is very likely that he will become a player with a big heart.

(TES came back from 10- down to - in S, but I think it was because there were no spectators, it was an indoor match, they were playing at home, Xiao Yang Sheng Jian… otherwise, Zuo Shou’s mentality would have collapsed, and even if they had made it to the semifinals, they would have ended up in the quarterfinals hhhh)

Whoever can win the match point first will not only have an advantage in the score, but also a huge advantage in mentality.

After the hero selection was completed, the coaches of both teams stepped down and shook hands.

Seeing Yuan Shen's Fiora on the opposite side, Smeb recalled his most confident moment last year, as well as the painful memories during that period.

LCK's top laner?
The strongest swordsman user?
This confidence was shattered in last year's nightmare-like BO5.

In the first match, Fiora faced off against Weapon, and she was beaten so hard that her scalp was numb.

In the second game, he even gave up his own martial arts and banned Sword Lady.

In the third game, he brought it out again, but was beaten by Yuan Shen and Riven to the point where he couldn't tell east from west...

After half a year, the confidence that he had finally regained in the LCK region was shattered again by Ryze in the first game.

The second win?
Yes, but winning or losing has nothing to do with Smeb. He knows very well that it was his teammates who played well and he managed to get by.

Kennen, the most confident hero in the current version, is used to kill everyone.

And with the blessing of the rocket belt, Kennen doesn't have to use the big mask, Central Asia, and big hat as he did last year to exert his strength.

It can be said that he had at least two of the right time, right place and right people.

However, facing Yuan Shen, a guy who had transformed into a jungler and was not loyal to the God of Top Lane, he had no power to fight back.

He felt bad.

What was most difficult for him to accept was that he was the one who took the initiative to ask the team to choose Kennen for him.

It’s not because he is good at Kennen, but because if you don’t want to carry, Kennen is a really difficult hero to play.

When it comes to mixed top laners, League of Legends players will immediately think of Malphite, Doghead, Garen...

In fact, if you want to survive in the top lane, don't play fancy stuff like Malphite, because Malphite can survive against AD warriors, but its weaknesses are obvious. It is afraid of ranged and AP. If it meets Ryze, Vampire, or Cassiopeia, it will really make him vomit.

A real slacker should play Kennen, who has long arms and no natural enemies. In team fights, he can hide next to the adc and use his ultimate to control and protect. How comfortable.

From confidently picking Fiora as the carry, to actively asking to pick Kennen for safety, who could have imagined that Smeb's mental journey was complicated?
