Chapter 56-Unspoken Rules, Jack's Debut
"Abu is right."
At the IG base, Zzitai was lying on a chair, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
"It's all nonsense. We are not unaware of these problems."
Shekeke turned off Abu's interview video in annoyance.
They know IG's problems better than anyone else, and this was particularly evident during their previous training matches with LCK teams.
But it's not as bad as zero to two.
They still have room to fight back.
I can only say that he is worthy of being called the God of Civil War.
"Don't think too much. Once you know where the problem is, adjust it slowly. Ge Yan, if you continue like this, you will be suppressed by Jack."
He leaned back on the sofa, resting his hands on his head, and whistled.
He was replaced in the starting lineup by Yuan Shen, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't have any other thoughts in his mind.
Although Yuan Shen has always respected him, he occasionally has the opportunity to play.
But now he is under more pressure than at the beginning of S5.
During that time, he was competing with Rookie for the starting position.
Now, he has to compete with Yuan Shen again.
You can't win the fight. You can't win at all.
The new player JackeyLove is also very strong. It’s not that he is much stronger than KID, but his style of daring to fight and fight is really suitable for IG.
All three lanes are filled with the kind of guys who are full of enthusiasm and work hard. It is easy for them to use their operations to crush the teams that only defend and want to delay operations in the late stage in the early stage, but it is also easier for them to reveal flaws and be found by experienced teams to operate to death.
This is a double-edged sword.
Not only he thought so, everyone felt the same way.
With Jack on the field, IG somehow felt like OMG in Season 4, or even more powerful.
"There's nothing we can do. The old are replaced by the new. We only hear the new laugh, but never the old cry..."
KID sighed.
He knows his own problem.
He and Zzitai are the only two people left from the old IG.
Zzitai has become a substitute, and it is only a matter of time before he is replaced by a newcomer.
Although he is not that old, he always has a sense of decadence.
Compared to Uzi, Deft, and Imp, he looks like a dying old man in his seventies or eighties.
But this kind of illusory mentality problem cannot be corrected just by saying it. When the thoughts are clear, the knot in the heart will be untied.
During the game, whether it was his teammates or opponents, even the audience, commentators, and referees, they always put pressure on him from inexplicable angles, which made him very uncomfortable.
On June 6, IG faced its last opponent in the first round of the regular season, LGD.
LGD's performance in the summer season is not ideal and is currently ranked fifth in the league.
Judging from the points, this team seems to be only at the upper-middle level of LPL.
But once you have watched the BO5 in the LPL Spring Finals, no one would dare to underestimate this team.
In this year's Spring Finals, the reason why EDG was able to defeat LGD can only be attributed to luck.
In the most crucial decisive game, when you have done everything to the extreme, the key to determining victory or defeat has shifted from tactics, strategies, operational awareness and other aspects to - luck.
For ADCs with the same six items, the side with more critical hits will win the finals and get the ticket to MSI.
A true faith crit!
LGD's hard power is not inferior to EDG's peak in S5.
Faced with such a strong opponent, IG did not have time to make too many adjustments and immediately started training.
Everyone was ranking to maintain their playing feel, while Kakao was carefully studying the enemy's eye positioning habits.
Being beaten by Mingkai is actually not a shameful thing.
Many people have been beaten by Mingkai.
Although he is not good at operations, his awareness and experience are definitely at the top level in LPL and even in the world.
But Kakao could not accept such a failure.
He was very eager to do something for his teammates.
He hated that feeling of powerlessness.
……
June 6st came quickly. However, the match between IG and LGD also made the audience very unhappy.
In the first game, IG and LGD were quite evenly matched.
Yuan Shen's Rumble in the top lane blew up Acorn's Gnar, while Imp in the bottom lane completely suppressed the fledgling JackeyLove.
In order to deal with the powerful opponent LGD, IG made a lot of preparations.
Prevent lane changes and focus on mid and jungle.
Considering the team, Yuan Shen chose Rambo.
LGD’s mid and jungle are also not weak.
Taobao Quan and Wei Shen's cooperation made it difficult to separate them from Rookie and Kakao in the early and middle stages.
After the mid-game, both sides defended their core C positions and fought fiercely. After three consecutive team battles, both sides won and lost.
Various extreme operations made the audience dazzled and excited.
Finally, in the last team fight, A Shui's Kog'Maw flashed forward resolutely, and with his positioning he twisted away the opponent's Titan's hook and Gnar's W. Although he died in the end, the output he dealt was enough.
With the landing of Clockwork and Rumble's ultimates, the condition of the five LGD players was greatly reduced!
LGD was taken away in one wave.
After 47 minutes of fierce battle, IG won.
This is also the longest game IG has played in the summer season.
However, just when everyone thought that the second game would be just as exciting, LGD suddenly wilted.
The jungler got lost, made mistakes in laning...
There were too many unexpected events, which resulted in the game ending in just twenty-two minutes.
The head-to-head ratio reached a shocking seventeen to two.
Especially Imp, who was almost like someone who had drunk fake wine. He was killed all the way by Jack in the laning phase, and he could even get face to face with Draven while sliding on his skateboard shoes.
"There's something wrong with LGD..."
As soon as he returned to the lounge, Yuan Shen said.
"How to say?"
Jack, who was still bragging to KID about how powerful Draven was, looked over blankly.
"They've started it again."
Rookie frowned, he would never forget the scene when he faced LGD in the spring season. The Ahri who carried the whole game was carried away with a chair after just the first game.
Oscar night.
Because of this incident, the LPL officials specially modified the competition system for the summer season.
Under the new competition system, the regular season ranking has become more important and it has become more difficult to control points.
But... for a score control expert like LGD, they can still find opportunities.
After all, there are only a few teams that can pose a threat to them, and they can completely adjust their attitude towards weak teams according to the situation after defeating the strong teams.
"Is controlling the score so fun? Do you have to play again if you want to win the championship?"
Jack, who was new to the competition, was a little annoyed.
He thought that he had proved his strength by being able to fight Imp.
But the facts are laid bare before us.
This was not the professional game he wanted.
"There are still some benefits. You need to hide things during the regular season as well. You don't want to expose your true playing habits, BP lineups, and some routines. As long as you don't expose them, you won't be studied by a certain team."
She Keke said.
His presence in IG is not very high, but after all, he has been working hard for so many years and has become a veteran.
Newcomers like Jack need him to teach them the "unspoken rules" of the professional arena.
"EDG, they said it clearly. When we were winning streaks before, they were studying at what time to place wards and under what circumstances you would aggressively trade blood..."
Zizhi bit his thumb and his cheeks flushed red. He had been disgusted by Mingkai many times before.
When playing against EDG, he always felt that he was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
"It's not just EDG. Many teams will study their opponents, but they won't use this result in the regular season. Only in the most crucial playoffs will they show everything."
Fu Manduo blew the wolfberry water in the thermos cup and looked at Yuan Shen with a complicated expression and Jack with an indignant face with a smile.
Young people, it’s not easy to compete in professional competitions.
You still have a lot to learn!
Transition to the playoffs as soon as possible, after the Fiora and Gangplank have been revised, we will play against EDG and LGD, the two major rivals!
