Chapter 336 National Team Training! Preparing for the Asian Games!
This is very much in line with CN's style—concentrating resources to accomplish major tasks.

Abu briefly explained that it's basically about combining strong teams like IG and RW to create a super 'galactic battleship'.

Although historically, most Galactic warships have met with bad ends.

However, it depends on the situation. This time, they are just a training team and there is no personal interest involved. Even the details of the battles will not be made public.

Because everyone has a different mindset, the scenario of a galactic battleship collapsing will not occur.

The same is true in South Korea.

The biggest problem with the "galactic battleship" concept is actually the allocation of resources. Since it's already a "galactic battleship," it means that the team is full of star players.

In their original teams, star players were the ones who relied on resources, with their teammates making various sacrifices for them on the field. But when they join the "Galactic Battleship," they are required to make sacrifices. Who would be willing to do that?

After all, who isn't a star player?

Who wouldn't want to shine on the field and attract more fans?

One of the main reasons why OMG's "Galactic Battleship" collapsed back then was that the jungler, Lingyao, wanted to gank the top lane, while the mid laner, Wutai, felt that he was in such good form, so why didn't he come to help him?

But Uzi in the bottom lane also had something to say: "I personally eliminated you guys in Royal Club last year, proving that I'm better than you, so why don't you come and help me?"

Every lane feels it needs special treatment and the jungler's help, which ultimately leads to the team falling apart!
But the South Korean team is different; seniority is very important there, and the senior-junior system actually works well in this situation.

With Lee Sang-hyeok, the number one in terms of both seniority and honor, around, who would dare to have any ulterior motives?

If this were in the LPL, everyone would be born with pride, and they wouldn't care who you are or what gives you the right to be on top of them.

This is one of the reasons why Wang Yao thinks the South Korean team will be particularly strong this year, as they have been losing from last year's World Championship to the recent Asian Games.

Both the players themselves and the public opinion of the audience in the competition area mean that they can no longer afford to lose!

However, a major problem arose on the first day of training.

All the team members will move into the dormitory of the 'Sports Training Center'. The living conditions here are, to put it mildly, terrible, reminding Wang Yao of his school days.

Actually, this is not so bad. The main problem is that for esports games like League of Legends, playing ranked games on the Chinese server doesn't serve as training. You have to play ranked games on the Korean server.

But this would mean connecting to an external network, which is obviously unlikely.

Ultimately, after various negotiations, all members of the esports team were arranged to go to Tencent's headquarters for daily training.

Wearing a special work badge, Wang Yao never expected that his first time entering the Tencent building would be in this identity and in this way.

Soon, Wang Yao and his teammates went to a designated room to start training on their computers, while Abu and the others were responsible for contacting sparring partners.

After several matches, the temperature in the training room rose considerably.

Uzi's face turned bright red as he kept biting his fingernails. A closer look at his record revealed almost no positive results, and he even had very few wins.

After a best-of-five series, the CN team was defeated 1-3.

"How could this happen... This shouldn't be!" Zhu Kai was somewhat at a loss, only able to repeat this sentence over and over again. Fortunately, he was quick enough to adjust himself and fix his gaze on Wang Yao.

EDG's current tactical approach focuses on the top, mid, and jungle lanes, while the bottom lane is basically left to fend for itself.

Meiko doesn't stay in lane all the time; she often coordinates with the jungler to gank and control vision. Iboy, on the other hand, often plays solo in the bot lane.

But this kid did a good job too; he didn't consume too many resources and was still able to achieve the desired effect in team fights.

During the Spring Split, EDG did frequently use the 4-man gank bot lane strategy, but the game version has changed.

After the start of the Summer Split, the marksman position was severely nerfed. Critical strike items all became more expensive, and armor penetration items were also slightly weakened, which led to a significant decrease in the marksman's carry potential.

Then, with the emergence of flexible heroes such as Aatrox and Irelia, the bloodshed in the mid and top lanes was maximized, and the status of the top lane skyrocketed!
After all, what good is helping the ADC? It's no exaggeration to say that an ADC with three items has to walk on thin ice when facing champions like Aatrox and Irelia. A slight mistake can lead to death.

EDG almost lost to IG before because of this.

In the current meta, which focuses on early-game skirmishes and team fights, the advantages of the top, mid, and jungle lanes are far more important than those of the bottom lane!
Abu stepped forward at this time. Although he was not working in the front-line coaching position, EDG's training team still had some strength, and they had an accurate understanding of the summer split version.

He began by saying, "The focus of this version is indeed on the top half of the map, but we also need to consider the actual situation. After all, our team's bot lane is Uzi, and Uzi's strength is still reliable."

This left Wang Yao speechless.

He did try to help the bottom lane, but the bottom lane kept asking for help. Uzi's style is to relentlessly pressure the opponent, which easily gives the opponent opportunities to gank the bottom lane.

He didn't even manage the mid lane minions properly before going to help the bot lane. You can't expect the mid laner to completely neglect farming and just mindlessly use Teleport to protect the bot lane.

That's something Xiao Hu would do, but Wang Yao wouldn't.

Seeing the increasingly somber atmosphere within the team, Abu continued, "Everyone is representing their national team now, and the goal is to win. My criticisms are all about the issues, not the people. I'm simply stating the facts from a neutral perspective."

"It's not easy for esports projects to have such an opportunity to win glory for the country and establish a good social image. If you can win the championship, it will also greatly benefit you personally."

"I also want to say something about Xiaogou. Why did you press so hard in the early game? Just at the 6-minute mark, Wang Yao had already communicated in the team voice chat that he was going to help Flandre gank in the top lane, and the teammates were all moving towards the top half of the map."

"You should be playing defensively in the bottom lane, right? But you pushed forward, giving them a chance to gank you."

“My minion wave wasn’t good at the time…” Uzi retorted.

"Even if you lose minions, you should retreat. You're only losing half a wave of minions. Your teammates on the top lane can gank and kill the enemy top laner and also make the enemy top laner lose minions."

"Overall, aren't we the ones who profited? But your bot lane just fed two kills, so you lost even more." Abu watched the replay and felt his blood pressure spike.

When facing RNG's opponents, they would use the phrase "just gank bot lane at level 2 and that's it" as a meme.

But when you actually become Uzi's teammate, you'll find his mindless lane pushing and lane control behavior very frustrating!
Uz opened his mouth, feeling very unhappy, but he really had no reason to refute it.

Because what Abu said makes sense.
