"coach."
Following the knock on the door, SSG coach Edgar turned his gaze away from the EDG game video on the screen in front of him.
At this moment, his hair was a mess, and his small eyes looked cloudy due to fatigue.
Hearing the familiar voice outside the door, he rubbed his temples, rubbed his face hard, and then spoke gently.
"Come in."
So when Master An came in, he saw Coach Edgar with a smile on his face and his arms crossed.
His eyes had regained their sharpness and he spoke with a smile.
"What's up? Chanyoung, you should be resting by now."
"Tomorrow is the semi-final against EDG, so we have to rest well."
Master An ’s real name is Jiang Canrong.
Edgar has been coaching SSG for many years, and his qualifications are no less than that of Master An.
He was the championship coach who led SSW to win the S4 championship that year and is an absolute three-star legend.
I have been working with Master An for more than one or two years, and they can be described as a golden pair of master and disciple.
At that time, An Zhanmen was beaten from the middle lane to the jungle by Faker because of Edgar's suggestion.
Edgar, who had a sharp eye, saw the terrifying potential in Li Xianghe at a glance, so he persuaded Master An to change his track.
"Coach, I think we should focus more on the mid, top and jungle tomorrow and ignore the bottom lane."
Master An has worked with him for many years and speaks very directly.
At this time, Master An looked a little annoyed.
"Why? Do you still not trust Jae Hyuk?"
Edgar asked directly.
"I think you are also very clear about Ruler's progress this year. He is the one who can take responsibility for the Censer version. If he plays against EDG and ignores the bottom lane, he will be targeted by EDG."
"Canrong, I know you think Clearlove is an ordinary jungler, but his protection of the bottom lane is incredible."
"If Savior gets up, the game will become very difficult, you know?"
"Let's sit down and talk first."
Sect Leader An sneered, sat down, and spoke.
"he?"
"Have you forgotten how we lost the game in S6?"
"If it weren't for that bastard, we would have had a chance last year!"
"I gave him a chance to prove himself, but he messed it up."
For a really old player like An Zhangmen, he can clearly feel his decline every time he plays a training match.
Because of this, he particularly hated Ruler.
Because if it weren't for Ruler's poor performance in S6, Samsung would have had no chance at all.
Master An really doesn't have much time left to maintain his form.
Even now S7Ruler has made a lot of progress.
Master An may choose to believe it on the surface, but in fact he is still questioning it.
Let me tell you the simplest one.
You sent it last time, how do we know you won’t send it this time?
“…”
Edgar has a headache.
He has always known that Master An has some opinions about Ruler, and he would usually teach Ruler a lesson as a senior.
But Edgar couldn't do anything about it because it was a traditional Korean culture.
Being older and having more experience is awesome.
Don't agree? Get out of Korea.
So he decided to change his words.
"...You're right. The bottom lane may still have problems against EDG tomorrow."
Edgar spoke slowly,
"But Chanrong, we still have to win the championship, you still have to win the championship, right?"
"If you don't go to the bottom lane, he'll die faster because he can't win anyway, right?"
"If that's the case, how can you win the championship? How can we win?"
"That's why you should help him more."
Sect Leader An's expression changed and he fell into deep thought.
That's fine by Edgar.
This is also the reason why, even though he has always been unhappy with Ruler, he will still go to the bottom when it is time to gank the bottom lane during the game.
"Can I know your tactics?"
Sect Leader An spoke in a deep voice.
Edgar raised his eyebrows, knowing that Sect Leader An was no longer a problem.
So he smiled.
"certainly."
"Tomorrow I'm still counting on you, Chanrong. You're the player I'm most proud of, and I believe you'll protect the glory of our Samsung."
Master An gave a reserved smile and said nothing.
He indeed paid a lot for it.
This year, Master An is already married.
Someone who can laugh out loud at all the other players in the World Championship:
You bunch of virgins are really making me laugh to death!
However, the married Master An did not meet his new wife once during the World Championship, let alone do things that a couple should do.
The vision control of the big dragon is perfect.
Guigui, Master An’s dragon-controlling master!
This took nearly a month or two.
After such a long time, even the anti-corruption department would raise questions:
How could Master An bear it?
If I...
He has been training and constantly improving himself.
Some people may think , isn’t it just one or two men doing something without meeting their wives? What’s the big deal?
Haha, can Huanfeng bear it?
In this comparison, Master An is simply a Sigma man, and his professional ethics are so high.
"I'm going to adopt the MSF approach."
Edgar didn't keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly.
"It's the current Censer meta, and the lanes are being neglected by too many people. The bottom lane is full of soft supports, and the middle lane is mostly full of development and support mages."
"Then we will do the opposite and use hard support to forcibly break the opponent's development strategy."
Edgar's eyes were calm.
"Titan? Gem? Even Pantheon, Robot and Leona will do. We can just destroy their bottom lane during the laning phase."
"We have to trick them into playing against a weak combination first."
"After gaining the advantage in the bottom lane, the support must cooperate with the jungler to roam the top lane in the early stage to help Cuvee gain the advantage."
"Crown can play freely in the middle lane, and Scout's roaming is nothing to be afraid of."
"Canrong, your role is crucial!"
Sect Leader An pondered for a moment, "Is it really necessary to give up our vision tactics?"
"Who told you to give up our vision tactics?"
Edgar looked at him strangely.
"I'm just talking about the lineup. We still have to use the necessary vision suppression."
"Why do we have to give up one aspect? Can't we do both?"
He stretched out a hand and slowly clenched it into a fist.
Master An understood.
Edgar…I want them all!
"Don't worry, just play hard, and victory will belong to us."
"EDG's success today is largely due to the individual strength of the three lines, and the most critical point is Savior."
"When I analyzed the 43 long games that Savior has played so far, I found a lot of interesting things."
Edgar smiled casually and began to talk about everything:
"First, when Savior gets a weak combination, he will first test it. If he wins, he will not rush, but will first secure the lane rights."
"Around 2 minutes and 55 seconds, he will often signal the assistant to arrange vision. It is impossible to give him a chance before there is vision. You have to think about how to seize this moment."
"When he reaches level 6 around seven minutes, he will most likely choose to do something. It's normal that he can't be seen in the river, because he will choose to leave from his own jungle. This time point is also an opportunity."
"No matter what lineup EDG uses, their ultimate goal in laning is only one..."
Edgar sneered and stood up.
A decisive statement.
"Free the Savior from the line!"
The more he studied EDG, the more incredible it seemed to him.
The vision is terrible, the team fights are average, the dragon fights are okay, and the lane switching is average.
If such a team were placed in LCK, wouldn’t it be Ding Zhen and Chunchun dancing at the first sight?
How did they beat so many strong teams?
What about the rhythm?
Damn, who is setting the pace for EDG?
After further research, Edgar was shocked.
In Edgar's eyes, although on the surface EDG's jungler is Clearlove.
Actually...EDG's jungler should be Savior.
Because a lot of the rhythm is brought up by Savior!
Whether it's finding the rhythm in the mid-term dragon fight or taking advantage of mistakes in laning.
Whether it is switching lanes or catching the opponent off guard, Savior's signal is indispensable.
How can this be an ADC?
This Xiba is simply EDG’s biological father!
One person did half the work of a jungler and most of the work of a support, and his operation was surprisingly good, and he could even output full damage in team battles.
Although he was envious of EDG for getting a player like Savior, he thought they were lucky.
But after careful study, Edgar...
Even more envious!
And it's not just envy, there's also jealousy.
Shit, why?
"Humph, EDG, who stepped on dog shit, relied on Savior's personal ability to set the pace. This time we used a little strategy to crush him in the bottom lane."
Edgar snorted coldly.
"Without Savior's performance, they will become a garbage team at the top eight. There's nothing to be afraid of!"
Although this was said with great confidence... Master An always felt that there was something sour in these words.
"Coach, are you envious of EDG for having Savior?"
Edgar was furious.
"I don't!"
"OK."
Master An held back his laughter and walked out of the coach's room.
Tomorrow's tactics have been determined.
Now that Edgar has done enough research on EDG, he can rest assured.
"This time, I must win."
Master An, who was walking in the corridor, glanced at his hands and clenched his fists slightly.
It was as if he was holding the S7 championship trophy.
There is only determination in his eyes.
The long night passed and the bright sunshine came down.
Today is a rare good day.
Shanghai Oriental Sports Center, 3:30 p.m.
The scene was already bustling with people. Countless fans from all over the country and foreign team fans had entered the venue, holding cheering items in their hands and looking at the big screen on the stage with anticipation.
The air seemed to become hot at this moment, making people's blood boil.
"Dear summoners in front of the screen and on the scene, welcome to the 2017 League of Legends World Championship semi-finals!"
"The upcoming match for you is between EDG and SSG!"
“Whoever wins this BO5 will be the first team to go to the Bird’s Nest! Compete for the final champion of champions in S7!”
"Hello everyone, I am today's commentator, Guan Zeyuan!"
On the commentary desk, Miller remembered that Guan Zeyuan and his two companions were sitting upright.
Today is Samsung's game, Guan Zeyuan can't miss it.
As the big screen suddenly went black, the audience perked up.
Yes, coming!
