Chapter 9 needs a win!
The fourth day of the second week of the group stage, which is the afternoon of June 5th.
When Snake's players boarded the bus, Zuo Wula and Coach Chris looked at each other. They had already made plans, and today's lineup changes would be more drastic.
The team now has a lot of people that can be used, but we still need to find the most reasonable set.
In fact, after two consecutive defeats , they have already felt the pressure.
If we lose again today, the consequences will be even more serious.
We must not develop a habit of failing, as that is the worst team culture.
The game started at one o'clock in the afternoon. EDG easily defeated SAT with a score of 2-0. EDG showed its dominance and continued to attract fans.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, IG also defeated GT 2-0, quickly and efficiently.
At five o'clock in the evening, it was time for the showdown between Snake and NB.
In the first game, the commentators at the commentary booth also discovered that there were major personnel changes at Snake.
The top laner is still Gunnar Sol, the jungler is replaced by Sofm, the mid laner is Tank, and the ADC is replaced by Martin, also known as Ding Huang, who is also a god in protecting KD. With the advantage, Jhin can drink the Demon's Knife without a naked body, which is extremely stable.
The supporting player is Jiezou.
The new Saofen was indeed eye-catching, constantly messing around in Swift's jungle.
However, in this game, Xia Zhi Azhen suddenly showed his power and turned into an emperor in seconds!
Dade used Tsar and cooperated with jungler Kindred to defeat the tank's Vampire.
Sofm was very happy to counter the jungle, and Swift had no choice but to transfer the disaster to Tank, making him the ultimate war criminal of Snake in this game!
35 minutes into the game, Tsar had 8 kills and was superbly equipped, recreating his former Samsung glory moments.
In the last team fight, Sofm made a last gamble, and with the help of Ding Huang's Holy Lance Baptism, Graves rushed directly to the face and wanted to kill Tsar in one second, but Swift was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and used the Sheep Spirit to save the emperor. AD Annie cooperated with Tsar to deal counterattack damage and achieved the harvest. Except for Holy Lance's Maokai who escaped, even Ding Huang was killed.
Saint Spear was alone and was eventually killed at the front tower, and NB won the first game.
In the second game , both Softarm and Sofm performed well. The mid-lane Tank used Lissandra to start a team fight and finally pulled one back.
In the third decisive game, Snake suffered a great loss in the level one team fight. NB's Caitlyn took two kills in a row. Swift moved around the bottom lane. Tank was unable to limit Dade's Twisted Fate, causing Snake's bottom lane to become a living hell.
This was the fastest game. In less than 30 minutes, the old crystal was destroyed by NB!
Along with it, the Snake team's best expectations for the start .
It was a hot summer, but their hands felt cool.
Backstage, Chris and Zuo Wu both looked a little haggard.
Lost again, three losses in a row!
Li Hao, who was sitting next to the water dispenser, perked up and took a long breath.
He stared at the big screen backstage with extremely deep eyes.
Next up, it’s week three!
On the morning of the second day after losing to NB, Shuangquan, one of the founders of Snake, came to the base.
"Zuo Wu, what's going on?"
"The club's start seems to be very different from what you expected."
This is a fact, and Zuo Wu couldn't refute it.
"What did the boss say?"
Shuangquan frowned and said, "You've also seen the news online, right? The fans are very angry, and the club is full of curses. Even I was criticized by name. It's so unfair."
"Some people also said that Snake was tanking and suggested that we play in the secondary league. Do you think this is human language?"
"Of course the boss can't save face. If he keeps losing, he's probably going to explode."
"If you want to win back public opinion, no excuses will work. The most effective way is a victory."
Zuo Wu took a deep breath and said, "I know what to do."
After Shuangquan left, Zuo Wu found Chris again, and they discovered several serious problems.
There is no rules in the competition and everyone often fights on their own.
The teamfight was chaotic and there was no command.
The vision is terrible, especially the last time we met EDG, it was a horror game.
In addition, the losing streak has caused the players' morale to drop, and they have to bear the criticism from many fans and on the Internet, which has frustrated their mentality. This has a very long-term impact.
Chris said meaningfully: "The mid lane has a big problem. Tank is the player who has stayed on the field these days. Apart from playing Lissandra, he has hardly played any role."
"Mid lane is a very important position, and the middle tower must not be taken down too early."
"And have you noticed? Many times, when we push the opponent's middle tower, we always spend more energy and it takes a long time."
Zuo Wu was also dissatisfied with Tank: "Tank's performance in the spring was very sluggish. I saw that he trained very seriously and thought that he would improve in the summer. I didn't expect this situation now."
"But the bad thing is, we don't have a suitable substitute."
"I kind of miss U, but it's a pity that he has announced his retirement."
"Do we need to pull some players up from the secondary leagues? We still have some reserves."
Chris said faintly: "Wait a moment."
This wait lasted until June 9th.
On the first day of the third week of the LPL Summer Season, around 4:50 in the evening, the Hongqiao venue was full of spectators and the commentary booth had already begun to warm up.
In addition to Haier Brothers Miller and Wawa, there is also a guest Miss.
The baby sitting in the middle had a smile on his fat face: "Okay, we have been chatting for so long, and the game is about to start."
"Thank you for watching the live and screen audience. This is the 2016 LPL Summer Regular Season. The upcoming match between SS and SAT will be held. Later at 7 o'clock, EDG will face IG."
Miller chimed in, "I think everyone should be familiar with Snake. They are a very passionate team and their games are quite interesting. They also have many star players, but the start of this summer season seems to be a bit unsuccessful."
Miss nodded and said, "Yes, it's not going well. The current record is 0-3, and we haven't won a single BO3. Coincidentally, we are facing SAT today, who also has a record of 0 wins and 3 losses. The two teams are fighting for a win, so this should be a fierce competition!"
"I'm more curious about Snake's starting lineup today. They've been trying to change their lineup before, and I hope they can make some progress today." Wawa turned her head and asked Miss, "Which team do you think is good today?"
Miss smiled and said, "I should be more optimistic about Snake. I feel they can win today."
"Okay, then I'll stand for SAT and cheer for the veterans." Miller livened up the atmosphere.
…
The commentary booth was chatting lively, and the commentary on the LPL official TV station was also very lively.
"Snake is no longer the dark horse it once was. In the last round, they were beaten by NB. I thought I read the team name wrong."
"IG beat NB, NB beat Snake. According to the theory of relativity in the canyon, IG can also beat Snake. In addition, they have lost to GT and EDG successively. If they lose this game again, they will be at the bottom of Group A directly."
"No need to talk about it, let's point the sword at Lspl."
"SKT, OttO: Am I not the protagonist today?"
"If Snake wants to win today, I suggest you take down Lulu. Pixar's Jinchuriki will instantly become a failure."
“…”
Soon, the director turned the camera to the players' seats, where the starting players of the two teams were debugging the equipment.
"Snake still uses the same lineup as last time, with Martin as AD and Sofm as jungler."
"Tank's expression is a bit strange, like he's in pain. Chris walked over. Is everything okay?"
When Wawa mentioned this, everyone's attention was focused.
Under the camera, Tank nodded, it seemed nothing serious.
On SAT's side, the top laner is Brother A, the jungler is Cpt, the mid laner is Steady Stick, ADstyz, and the support is x1u, basically all of them are veterans.
Judging from the current results, it is a bit difficult to realize the dream.
The first match between the two sides started, and the way it unfolded was beyond the audience's expectations.
