Chapter 509: High EQ: Assassin, Low EQ: Orphan
"Old rascal!" Xing Dao snorted.
"What do you mean by hooligan? This is a kind of commitment, almost like loving you forever!" he said confidently.
“So you’re going to make this promise to everyone?” The factory manager understood very well.
"As a man, you should be fraternal!" Zzitai wiped his saliva and said, "I wonder when FNC will treat us to a Western meal."
"What's so delicious about Western food? Those dark dishes... Damn!" Ah Shui said halfway before he reacted.
"Yu Wenbo (A Shui) you are so pure, hahahaha." Meiko was overjoyed.
We joked for a while.
Abu has already greeted the FNC team leader.
The two sides came together and started customized training.
After five games, EDG knew very well that FNC only wanted to secure their qualification and temporarily gave up their unrealistic hopes.
Because FNC used a support lineup with Taliyah and Dragon King as the core in the training game.
In the face of EDG's style of play where the mid laner focuses on developing in the bottom lane and the jungler protects the top lane, it is actually difficult for FNC mid laner Caps to achieve the desired effect with roaming heroes.
Let me put it more simply and bluntly.
If FNC wants to beat EDG , the best way is to kill through the middle lane and then drive the jungler to force the rhythm.
Using things like Taliyah and Dragon King to gank the bottom lane is mainly aimed at the TL team, which has Doublelift, the top AD player in North America.
As long as Doublelift's development is limited, FNC's bottom laner Eugene will have plenty of room to play.
This change in thinking is actually easy to understand.
In the 8.9 version used in the MSI Mid-Season Championship, the mid-lane position has been significantly strengthened.
The European team, which has always been known as the King of France, will definitely think about competing for the championship.
But after the first round of competition, FNC realized the gap between them and EDG and KZ, and naturally returned to reality, setting its sights on the "European and American battle" to save the last bit of face or... the last piece of underwear.
It’s a pity that we didn’t see FNC use any black technology.
But.
Since black technology has the word "black" in its name, it is naturally not easily seen in the light, so it is understandable that it has been hidden for a long time.
Anyway, to EDG, it doesn't matter much whether FNC hides something or not.
As long as FNC is not a fool, they will definitely think about getting points from TL, FW and even KZ, and will not fight with EDG in the group stage.
The players and coaching staff are preparing intensively.
After some processing, the domestic operations department released the team voice recording from the match against KZ team on the official blog.
Among them, there was a telegram sent by the factory director after he died twice in a row at the beginning.
There was Ah Shui who was startled and screamed.
There was a movement coordination that Zzitai and Meiko had agreed on in just a few seconds.
There was also Xing Dao flying to the bottom lane to disrupt KZ's rhythm, and in the mid-term he commanded Thresh to go around the back, and in the late stage he called his teammates to the jungle... and caught five lone ones!
"Oh my goodness, I thought it was just a show effect during the interview, but I didn't expect them to really say that they caught five people who were alone..."
"If KZ heard this voice message, their mentality would probably explode again."
"Isn't Zz1tai the commander of EDG? When did it become Brother Jie?"
"The factory manager changed it during the spring season break."
"You can tell at first glance that he's not a die-hard fan. In the early and mid-game, EDG was commanded by Zhazi and Meiko. In the later game, they basically listened to Brother Jie in terms of how to fight team battles."
"In the dragon fight, it was amazing to have Meiko hook Graves from behind. If the commentator doesn't know how to fight, EDG will teach you how to do it."
"I'm afraid I won't see such a fierce sword girl again..."
"It's okay, wait for the weakening."
"Fiora was nerfed to the point where she can't play, Shen was nerfed to the jungle, and Irelia is probably going to be nerfed to the point where she's stuck in the jungle."
"Fuck, God, it's sunken in!!"
…
KZ team coach Sin asked the translator to help him read EDG's voice and popular comments, and a shadow appeared on his face.
As the top laner in the LCK region, Khan has strong laning abilities.
He used the weakened Shen to fight against General. Although he was lured and killed once and fell into a clear disadvantage, he did not collapse.
Just keep it stable and there won't be any big problems.
but.
Khan has one obvious flaw.
That's teamfight performance.
LCK commentator once gave a classic comment, saying Khan is like an assassin who cruises on the edge of teamfights, looking for a chance to kill with one strike...
To put it bluntly, it is an orphan style of play that puts the pressure on teammates.
On the other hand, General, even when using an output-type top laner, often enters the field at the second opportunity, bears appropriate damage and control, and plays a big enough role. He is not the kind of fool who just waits for the endgame to reap the rewards.
Compare the two together.
The difference is immediately apparent.
"It's okay that he's strong in laning phase, he's even stronger in teamfights, it's okay that he's strong in teamfights, his awareness is just fine."
KZ assistant coach Li Chengxun scratched his head: "This year, we have to make up for the support. General is too versatile. Does he have the bloodline of our Great Cold Clan?"
"This is not important. What's important is how we play against EDG later." Sin held his chin up: "This year's MSI is the best chance to beat EDG, but how to limit General's performance and prevent him from carrying the team requires careful study."
"Irelia must be banned, but Yasuo cannot be banned."
"I think it's worth sending out the Sword Demon. This hero can only slash one by one. If he is controlled, he will be gone."
"You should ignore Vampire. This hero is very weak. Even if General uses him, he may not be able to defeat Khan."
"Is stealing money something you need to consider, Captain?"
"Forget it, Captain. There is no room for him."
"Where's Orne?"
"Ornn doesn't matter. Although General has used him once, he rarely uses him normally. This hero doesn't suit his style."
"Can we try to get a chance to play with a Knife Girl? It's been so long since the update, it shouldn't be hard for players to train a Knife Girl, right?"
The analysts on one side were discussing the issue one after another.
"The team members are practicing Irelia, but Khan is not very proficient in using it, BDD is okay."
Head coach Sin heard this and explained: "The problem is that EDG's mid lane is mainly focused on fighting, and the line of troops is very short. BDD may not be able to kill anyone with Irelia... Of course, he can grab it when necessary."
"Can we set a trap?" assistant coach Li Chengxun suggested.
"How to make a trap?" Sin was curious.
"We can grab Irelia, mislead once , select the top lane hero and mislead again. If there is a counter relationship, let BDD go to the top lane and face General!" Li Chengxun explained in detail.
“That makes sense!”
“Good idea!”
"It should be fine."
The KZ logistics members unanimously agreed.
Changing lines does have the problem of "not adapting to the local environment".
If BDD takes a traditional mid laner to the top lane, there is more than a 90% chance that he will be hung up and beaten.
But Knife Girl is different.
As a traditional top lane hero, after Irelia’s rework, her basic attributes are also set according to the top lane.
In addition, the longer the line of soldiers, the more suitable it is to utilize the mechanism of Q here and Q there of the soldiers.
Even if BDD is a mid laner , he only needs to adapt to the fixed rhythm of pushing the line and returning to the city when going to the top lane, and there is no need to change the hero's own playing style.
"Well...I'll go discuss this with the team members."
Sin thinks it's feasible.
BDD and Khan heard this idea.
Think about it for a moment.
I think you can try it too.
After all, there is a Jayce in Khan’s hero pool who can play mid or top and has a very high level of proficiency.
Putting it in the top lane, a hero like Jayce who must succeed or die is too risky. If he is killed by General, the overall situation will be ruined.
Putting it in the middle and facing an old-fashioned posture will not cause any problems.
Switching lanes between mid and top can not only get rid of the dilemma of insufficient ban positions, but also set a trap, and allow KZ players to get the heroes that are most suitable for their performance.
With this kind of tactics, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat EDG...
