Chapter 142 Don’t let down the fans who support us!

Lin Shuyang followed the EDG team out of the room. He and Mingkai were two steps behind the crowd. Looking out through the dark passage, they saw a ray of light from the live competition stage falling diagonally on the trouser legs of the two men.

"In fact, I have already said a lot about the tactical arrangements."

"But Mingkai, although I know that you have made great changes in your style this year, it is still not enough, especially if you want to win the championship. The current lineup of EDG and even the lineup you prepared for the summer season is definitely not enough."

Sometimes life is so wonderful.

When EDG had arguably the strongest lineup last year, MingKai became the team's breakthrough point in a jungle core version.

Then this year my condition has obviously improved, and the team's double C has been replaced by two pure rookies. With such a lineup going to the World Championship, the outcome is predictable.

But as discussed privately during the training camp, perhaps this is the debt he needs to pay back this year after that kick last year.

"SSG is a strong opponent. You need to be more aggressive than them. Use the same aggressive play style that you used when you were raising pigs in the rank during S2 and S3."

Lin Shuyang continued, not giving Mingkai any time to react, "Because this may be your last chance in this life."

"Go!"

After saying that, he pushed Mingkai from behind and sent him to the team, even though his brain was still processing the received information.

Intercontinental Championship Studio.

The three commentators of the English stream were still arguing about the result of the previous game.

MAA laughed. "Guys, stop arguing. I think you need to think about how to complete the promised penalty game after the prediction fails tonight."

"Kiss a donkey's ass, or go to the most crowded place on the street and perform a chest-breaking stone-breaking show."

"Hahaha!"

MAA laughed wildly because in the match between OMG and MVP, the other two predicted without hesitation that MVP would win, but he was the only one who believed that OMG had been completely transformed after the training camp and had every chance of defeating the powerful LCK.

Hysterics' expression darkened. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. As the fourth place team in the match between LPL and LCK, they showed a fighting ability that was inconsistent with their ranking, especially their bottom lane. But I don't think SSG will lose the second game between the two regions."

"After all, their opponent, erm, EDG... you know."

"Jake, do you think so too?" MAA looked at his partner on the left.

Jake shook his shoulders, "Yes, I'm willing to accept the loss if OMG wins, but obviously SSG, as the runner-up team in last year's world championship, is obviously stronger than the top eight, especially since EDG also lost two players, Pawn and Deft."

In the English stream commentary room, many LPL viewers who liked the passionate style of the English commentary and specially climbed over the wall to watch the live broadcast were furious.

Angry.

But they somehow had no reason to refute it. Given EDG's poor performance in the World Championship, they just hoped that they wouldn't lose too badly against Samsung.

"God, MAA, don't tell me you think EDG will win?" Jack said belatedly.

"Hmm!" MAA snorted, "Why not."

"Wow! I am completely shocked!"

Jack and Hysterics didn't understand why OMG made a wrong judgment because they were a new face in the World Championship and everyone didn't know much about them.

They know very well how big the gap between EDG and SSG is.

Seeing the two teammates showing such expressions, MAA smiled and said: "Of course, I don't believe in EDG, I just trust sunshine. Oh no, it should be coach newborn."

"Newborn?"

"Yes, the player who repeatedly created miracles in the world competition, but whose teammates and luck were just a little bit worse."

……

In a certain live broadcast room.

LPL viewers did not have much confidence in whether EDG could defeat SSG.

[BO1 Tian Ji Horse Racing, EDG can just play normally against SSG, OMG can steal a game, and then let WE and RNG finish the game. We have a great chance at to . ]

[Hehe, I feel safe with Master Guang in the training group. I'm not afraid of losing as soon as the BP is released.]

[Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, the second I saw Icon choose Kassadin, my cerebellum shrank. It seems that these teams really showed all their trump cards in the training camp.]

[Our side is united, while the enemy is fighting on their own. This is the trend for a great victory. ]

[Don't open the champagne, be suspicious first. Every year in the LPL has been the most promising in recent years, but it always ends up being a slump. ]

[The requirements are not high, just don't be too soft when facing the Korean factory manager. 】

On the playing field.

Meikou chewed gum and said, "Do you think the LPL audience will think we are going to lose this game?"

"Be more confident and take off the word 'can't'." Ming Kai put on his headphones with a smile and instantly switched to the serious version of An Kai mode.

At this moment, Mingkai's mind was still echoing with the words that Lin Shuyang had just said.

Thanks to the Intercontinental Tournament system, no matter how the group stage goes, you can enter the knockout stage. The only difference is which of the three regions can sit back and watch the life-and-death battles of others in the semifinals. When they learned about the schedule and the first game against SSG, the first reaction of EDG players and the training team was to strategically give up in the group stage and then get a certain number of points from LMS.

However, after this proposal was sent to the training group for discussion, it was firmly rejected by Lin Shuyang at the meeting.

"If you can give in BO1, can you also give in the first game of BO3? If you can give in BO3, can you also give in BO5?"

"When entering the game, you can give up resources in the early stage, give up big and small dragons, and then give up the crystal as well."

Only God knows how red the faces of everyone in EDG were when Lin Shuyang said this in a slightly angry tone.

"Why think about losing when you can win?"

"I think the tactics I used this time will be studied by my opponent in the next game, so I just need to improve. If I don't have the courage to keep improving, then what's the point of playing eSports?"

"LPL viewers have been waiting for too long, they need this championship...we need it even more!"

"After disappointing the audience who supported us, LPL is not far from disbanding."

"Esports is cruel, it's a winner-takes-all game. The LPL is about to become a league, if you win, whatever you say is right. If you don't train and play other games every day, people will say you are relaxing. If you lose, even if you play 20 or 40 ranked games every day, you are still a noob."

Intercontinental Championship, no matter what, I am willing to be the head coach because I have to win the Intercontinental Championship.

They have already lost MSI, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. Lin Shuyang doesn't want to see any more civil war drama in the Bird's Nest.

Change starts with the Intercontinental Championship.

"Mingkai!"

"Ming Kai?"

"Mingkai, did you remember what I just said?"

His thoughts were pulled back by nofe's continuous shouting. Mingkai looked up at the coach and said, "I've got it, coach."

After the BP was over, they on the blue side put out a lineup that was completely unlike EDG's.

Top lane Kled, jungle Elise, mid lane Taliyah, bottom lane Varus and Zyra.

The red team SSG chose a shield-shield lineup that was very popular in the spring season.

The top laner is Big Waist, the jungler is Olaf, the mid laner is Clockwork, and the bottom lane is Caitlyn and Lulu.

It is a choice that is very consistent with Samsung's style of play.

When the lineups of both sides were determined, a certain live broadcast room of Ya went into a frenzy.

[Spider! Spider! Could it be that the person sitting on the stage today is An Kai? ]

[It's An Kai, it's An Kai. I saw the determined expression on his face when he put on the headphones just now.]

[What a determined expression! If EDG is given this early and mid-term lineup, will they play it? The coaching staff must be stupid, because the opponent is the best team in the LCK at dragging the game into the late game.]

Similar to the reactions of the barrage viewers, the three LPL commentators were also worried when analyzing the lineup. After all, if the attack of Taliyah, Kleda and Elise are blocked in the early stage, they will be pushed into the abyss by SSG.

Delay to later stage?
Offstage, Lin Shuyang listened to the commentators' concerns and shook his head.

Not to mention how stupid it is to compare your discipline with the LCK teams and compare their performance in the late game, even if it's based on the individual competitive level of EDG's bot laner zet this year, do you really think that if Z Huang drags the game to the late game, he can beat them in terms of output in team battles?
Even though Renchidi is a fierce dog, he can beat other teams' AD, including Bang who is still in his peak form, without any fear.

Instead of thinking about how to break through others’ best points, it is better to bravely punch in the early stage and smash the opponent’s turtle formation.

Mingkai Lin Shuyang in S6 doesn't have this confidence, but Seven Seven in S7 definitely has this ability.

When the game started, Lin Shuyang immediately adjusted the OB camera in his hand to the first-person perspective of the jungler.

Assistant coach 694 sat nearby, holding a tablet that broadcast live from a third-person perspective with a delay of more than one minute, making it convenient for his head coach to compare and analyze at any time.

In subsequent knockout rounds, he will continue to conduct targeted observations and adjustments for specific players in other teams.

At level one, EDG used a regular long snake formation, with Meiko and Jyra placing seeds in the bushes in front of the bottom lane tower.

"SSG Level 1 wants to invade!"

"Zet was still quite alert, but it was a pity that he was caught in an instant."

"The lack of discipline of these guys is really outrageous. They turned around immediately after being seen. They really didn't take any risk at all."

In the room, even though the members of the training team tried their best to lower the volume of their discussion, the number of people was there, so Lin Shuyang could hear it clearly.

Several head coaches did not stop them and let the training team members discuss it freely. The intercontinental competition itself is a competition between four different teams, and the round-robin competition has twelve teams. Each team may become the opponent of the next game. How can one or two people study it all?

Besides, the wisdom of a few people can never match the collective thinking. Who knows, at some point in the game and training group someone may come up with a flash of inspiration for you.

Seeing the movements of the four SSG players in the bottom lane, the two EDG players in the upper half responded synchronously. Mouse, just like the details he learned in the training camp, placed his first trinket eye in the bush behind the F6 pit when the opponent had no vision of him.

 Try writing about LOL from a completely new perspective. Previously it was always from the players' perspective, or a third party's perspective, but now I'll switch to the perspective of the coaching staff off the stage and write about how they react to the various decisions made by the players on the field.

  Because I have to look up a lot of information and then go to friends in the industry to verify, I am a bit slow in writing, please forgive me.
