LOL: Alliance Intelligence King

"GG, we can't play anymore."

Faced with Snake's 4-1 split push and an unstoppable crocodile, Abu knew that continuing to drag the game out was pointless.

Playing tanks in the heavy armor version inevitably means being unable to deal with a fed top laner. Coupled with the 4-1 split push strategy favored by Korean-style macro play, it's just a slow death for EDG.

"GG!"

Meiko typed "GG" before everyone else and then quickly quit the game.

Abu has a bit of a headache.

They lost more scrims than they won in the European and American regions; hoping to gain some confidence from scrims with LPL teams, they unexpectedly found themselves under even more pressure.

Three days later, they faced FNC, who had just eliminated IG.

Can they win?

A shadow fell over Abu's heart.

"We're in terrible shape right now! We can't even get past the lower-tier LPL teams, how are we supposed to compete with LCK teams? FNC performed quite well in the group stage, if you guys continue like this, you'll really get swept 3-0 and swim back from London!"

"My problem."

"It was because my information was slow to update, which gave the other party an opportunity."

The EDG players also understand that now is not the time to shift blame. Finding the problem after losing a scrim is more valuable than winning a game without any experience.

But......

How do we counter an unstoppable, heavily armored warrior and that obvious 4-1 split push?

......

The Snake base in Shanghai, thousands of miles away.

The training room was filled with laughter and joy, a stark contrast to the deathly silence that followed the previous training match loss.

Yes!

They defeated EDG, who were at the peak of their strength!

Even if it's just a practice match.

In a league dominated by EDG, they can not only defeat EDG, but also prevent them from switching hands. This is a dream that no one dares to even dream about.

But it was under Chen Rui's tutelage that things turned out this way.

They did it!

"Ah, that feels so good! My milk ducts are all cleared up!"

Saint Gun jumped up excitedly, grinning and showing off his silver braces, grinning foolishly at everyone.

After playing for a season, he finally understood what it meant to have real resource allocation and to have everyone around you as the core.

It's absolutely captivating!

"It feels good, but after helping you like this, calling me 'Dad' isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Zzr finally breathed a sigh of relief and, having some free time, started joking around with Flandre.

Bake remained unmoved; winning or losing seemed unimportant to him. As long as the task was completed, he just needed to gather someone to play the game.

Crystal and Ella also had smiles on their faces, but Ella frowned as she said "Yarema" in a Chinese-accented Korean, as if she wanted to grab a vase and smash it over his head.

"Cuihua, you should call Coach 'Dad'."

We must not forget those who dug the well when we drink the water. Flandre is keenly aware that the reason he won this training match so easily is entirely due to the coach, Corn, who has been criticized by the entire internet!

"Greetings, Godfather!"

Zzr snapped out of his daze and respectfully called out to Chen Rui.

"You guys played well," Chen Rui said, closing his notebook and echoing the players' emotions. "Each of you has your own strengths. If you bring out your strengths, not to mention EDG, even peak SKT would be defeated by you."

"Hello, Coach!"

Crystal shouted out, and then the other team members followed suit.

Zhu Kai and Qingzhi hissed at the same time.

His face was tense.

Zhu Kai, in particular, was deep in thought, staring at the Doraemon drawing in his notebook, his forehead covered in question marks.

He seemed not to recognize Chen Rui anymore.

He was the one who came to Snake first, so how come after just one training match, the players accepted Chen Rui as their coach?

Then what am I? Should I leave? What kind of competition is this?!

Before Zhu Kai could speak to salvage the situation, Zuo Wu, who had previously disappeared from the training room, pushed open the door and called out, "Chen Rui, Zhu Kai, come to the manager's office to discuss the contract."

"They're here."

Chen Rui took off his headphones, patted Zhu Kai on the shoulder, and the two walked back to the manager's office.

"Mom, are we really going to keep the corn?"

Crystal's eyes widened, his face filled with excitement.

"Putting the draft aside, his coaching and command philosophy is indeed far superior to Zuowu and Qingzhi. IG kicking him out as a 'scapegoat' is simply blind," Flandre bluntly stated.

"Is it that exaggerated? I thought it was just a basic exercise for the coach!"

Zzr has never even played in youth training or secondary leagues, so he naturally doesn't know the level of LPL coaches. He encountered Chen Rui right from the start.

Without comparison, one naturally wouldn't understand the pros and cons.

"Basic operations?"

Crystal sneered, "If Zuo Wu had coached with such a clear mind last year, there wouldn't have been any LGD or IG issues. I would have already taken up arms and stormed the heavens."

"I feel that... his command strategy and understanding of the minion waves are far superior to mine." Crystal recalled the previous level 1 laning match.

"Just how disobedient are those IG players? How did they manage to become near-top-eighths level powerhouses?"

Version 5.18 is a very flawed version.

Both AD carries leveled up to level 2 by farming jungle monsters and then went to lane. There was no competition to level up to 2 in lane, so there was no real intensity in the matchup.

Pick a champion like Sivir, Tristana, or Ezreal that can survive in lane, stay in lane, wait for teammates to support you, or drag the game into the late game and engage in team fights – that's considered completing your mission.

But somehow, he managed to take advantage of his position on the line.

Using the support's recall to create a time difference, Crystal could extend the bottom lane advantage to the top lane – a scenario Crystal had never envisioned.

He didn't expect it either.

Snake's lack of team execution, which had disappeared since the Summer Split, returned in this match.

But what if...

EDG swapped lanes on both top and bottom lanes. Can Chen Rui still play like that?

Crystal Bro doesn't know.

However, when he recalled Chen Rui's powerful and unquestionable command style, he felt that Chen Rui was confident and had a good plan.

"I feel like S6 is the most promising year!"

Saint Gun also started to dream about the future, but then suddenly remembered something and his mood plummeted again. "What if Corn and Zuo Wu don't reach an agreement? Then all our excitement will have been for nothing!"

He hesitated for a few seconds, then pointed his finger at the glass door.

"Cuihua, I'm ordering you to spy on the manager's office and gather intelligence!"

"So, I've been caught and I'm just a temporary worker?"

......

The manager's office next door.

"Please sit down."

Back to square one, Zuo Wu gestured for the two to sit down and brewed them tea. "I watched the previous training match; it was a beautiful victory. Whether from a coach's or manager's perspective, Chen Rui, you've given me a big surprise."

"Su Xiaoluo, bring me one..."

Zuo Wu glanced at the uneasy Zhu Kai out of the corner of his eye, then changed the subject, "No, I mean two top-notch coaches. I sincerely hope that you two can stay with Snake and fight together in the 2016 competition."

Chen Rui was caught off guard by Zuo Wu's sudden attack.

He originally planned to make a great impression in the second game and dazzle Zuo Wu, but he never expected that he would conquer the man in front of him in less than 20 minutes, including the draft phase.

What else is there to say?

"Cao Yu, I haven't even had a trial period yet!"

Zhu Kai also seemed a little confused. He hadn't done anything yet, so how did he pass the trial?
