Volume 1: An Era Chapter 66: If you can’t control it, change it!
"Let us congratulate WE for successfully winning the second spot in the S4 World Finals. Congratulations to them!"
When Miller roared out these words, as the commentator, he could feel a tightness in his chest, as if something was about to be released.
Not only him, Wawa and Xiaomi also had the same reaction.
It is said that the saddest thing is to give hope and then be disappointed.
Little do people know that when a team really gives people the feeling that they can never stand up again, the fans who like this team are no longer just disappointed, but desperate.
From the moment WE fell apart, its fans gradually fell into despair.
At the beginning of the spring season, everyone still had a little confidence in this team.
However, with the end of the spring season and the gradual start of the summer season recruitment, the number of fans of the WE team has shown a cliff-like decline.
The forum is in a mess, and a few old fans are struggling to hold on with a "Buddhist" attitude.
Then...WE gave them a glimmer of hope.
As a team that was not favored by at least 95% of the audience, it has now truly advanced to the world finals.
"WE...is that a team?"
“No, it was a time.”
"Are you there? Hurry up and slap me, I feel like I'm dreaming."
"Oh my god, I feel like I'm toxic. Every time I watch WE's game, they always lose. I've been a little desperate lately so I stopped watching. Then I heard... you guys won two 2-0 games?"
"That's a damn beautiful fight..."
"Has my king finally made it to the World Championship again? Tears well up in my eyes. Go prove yourself!"
"By the way, if I remember correctly, this year's S4 World Championship is held in South Korea, right? Will Koreans unplug the network cable like they did in the Dragon Tiger Cup?"
"Last time we pulled the network cable, didn't we get a pentakill and then turn the game around? Come on WE, beat the Koreans!"
"To be honest, it's still a little difficult. The Korean team is ridiculously strong this year."
"The person above only knows how to brag about your Korean dad..."
The barrage forum was in an uproar, with many comments gradually moving in a radical direction.
After returning to the lounge, Li Nian took out his mobile phone and took a look at the Internet.
Li Nian is no longer surprised by this phenomenon in Tieba forums.
He had seen so many versions of the monsters and demons he had seen in his previous life. The first-generation pace-setting and inflated level of the audience in S4 was too common in Li Nian's eyes.
Li Nian can understand the thinking of these players.
WE's foundation is too deep, and because it has been in decline for too long, many players' impression of the "WE" team is still stuck in the S2 period when it was not inferior to the Korean team.
Little did they know that Korean teams have become much stronger in the past two years, and WE is like a damaged ship that has just been repaired and is ready to go to sea.
The truly challenging storms and waves have yet to begin.
before that……
"There is also EDG."
Li Nian rubbed his temple.
In four games, Li Nian used four different playing systems.
The advantage of this is that it catches the opponent by surprise, leaving them no room to prepare.
But after these four games, Li Nian was a little stretched.
It’s not that Li Nian has no tactics. On the contrary, many of the classic tactics from Season S4 to Season S11 can actually be improved and used in the current version.
But the problem is... he can do it, but the WE members may not be able to please him.
It is not easy for a team to have its own system and play well.
Players, teams, lineups, competitions and tactics, these five categories are indispensable.
The players correspond to their styles, and Li Nian has already figured out the styles of the five current WE starting players during the preparations some time ago.
The content played in these four games is also what WE has been focusing on training recently.
Based on the player style, the second largest category is established, which is the team's playing style.
Currently WE's playing style is biased towards the early and mid-game. Li Nian is very clear that based on WE's current state, it is impossible to compete with those teams that are good at playing in the late game. WE can only rely on individual abilities in the late game.
The system corresponding to the lineup is WE's biggest goal to achieve before the World Championship.
Every strong team has its own system.
Without a system, you won’t go far.
Finally, both game strategy and tactical execution require time.
Li Nian has too little time.
"What a fucking format."
Li Nian couldn't help but complain.
In Li Nian's opinion, the competition systems of seasons S4, S5 and S6 were all very bad.
For the sake of ratings, the organizers don't treat the players as human beings at all. If it weren't for the famous BO10 battle in S6, I'm afraid that disgusting competition system would have continued.
"Hopefully... things will change."
Li Nian sighed inwardly.
Changing the world is difficult.
But if you are good enough, it is not impossible to change your field.
Li Nian, who traveled through time, is well aware of the difficulty involved. Perhaps the events corresponding to the time in history have changed because of his arrival.
It’s like the draw ceremony hasn’t taken place yet and Li Nian is not clear about the final grouping of the draw.
It is like OMG is actually competing with Royal Club for the last spot. Both of these two teams have played famous scenes in the S4 World Finals in Li Nian's previous life.
For example, UZI's Tristana uses Bjergsen as a cannon vehicle.
OMG’s fifty-blood base came back.
All of this may change because of Li Nian's arrival and the rise of WE.
…
"Brother Nian, who do you think will win between OMG and Royal Club?"
The incense pot came over.
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
Li Nian's thoughts were interrupted, and he glanced at Xiang Guo and said.
Seeing the latter nod like a chick pecking at rice, Li Nian pondered for two seconds: "If I were the coach of Royal Club, Royal Club would win."
"What if you were the coach of OMG?"
"That's hard to say. As far as I know, the OMG coach has very little say. They may not listen to the coach."
"so……"
"you shut up."
"oh."
Li Nian moved his butt, stood up and sat on a chair far away, keeping a distance from Xiangguo.
This bastard, if he keeps nagging me, he’ll probably start using nesting dolls again.
The next two hours were rest time. Li Nian did not ask his teammates to practice more at the last minute. E-sports requires long-term accumulation, and there are too many unstable factors when practicing at the last minute.
Two hours is enough time for the players to play two rank games using the computers in the lounge.
It's good that we won. We entered the match with EDG team for the number one seed with a hot hand, and our strength could be improved by about 10%.
But what if I lose?
There are too many unstable factors.
Li Nian is a person who is keen on stability and likes to keep things under his control.
So it is better to use this time to let teammates have a good rest.
"Oh, right……"
Li Nian seemed to suddenly think of something and raised her eyelids: "Guo Guo."
"ah?"
Xiang Guo was just about to take a nap when he suddenly perked up when he heard Li Nian's voice.
"Don't sleep. Did you achieve the extreme jungle clearing time I told ? If not, practice again."
"oh……"
Xiang Guo's mouth twitched, and he sat down in front of the computer with some resentment. At this moment, he didn't know how many circles he drew for Li Nian in his heart.
