Reborn in S14, crush the entire league!

Chapter 117 LPL's Dilemma

The playoffs this season have been very fast-paced.

The next day was the match between JDG and NIP.

This design is intended to allow time for the subsequent MSI.

Secondly, we also want the audience to enjoy the show all at once!

But this puts a lot of pressure on the teams and players.

Chen Xiao dared not relax for a second, because the winners' bracket final was the day after tomorrow!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and their opponent was still BLG, whose strength was lacking.

All time must be used wisely!

Maokai's training plan for Chen Xiao was also very simple: strengthen his laning phase.

Left Hand's laning skills are in a class of their own in the LPL.

There aren't many mid-lane players who can withstand his relentless barrage of attacks.

Being able to stay in the top ranks of the LPL is already a significant achievement.

The left hand is so exaggerated these days!

Therefore, Guo Hao and Maokai invited top players from the Chinese and Korean servers, as well as some players known for their laning skills.

Those who disagree with the invitation must pay more; we're all about being rich and powerful!

With the coaching staff doing their best, Chen Xiao didn't let them down.

They continuously learn from the experience of playing S0L0 and adapt to different opponents and playstyles.

And gradually improve your laning competitiveness.

"It's a pity we couldn't get Left Hand to lane against you directly, otherwise playing a few games would definitely be very beneficial!"

Mao Kai couldn't help but sigh, clearly feeling that Chen Xiao could go even further.

"————" Chen Xiao was speechless.

"Only someone with a screw loose would agree to a one-on-one match with me!"

He is the weaker party, and there is no advantage to playing solo with him using your left hand.

It might even lead to not fully understanding one's own playing style and habits.

What's more, the two teams are opponents in the next match!

"I was just kidding—I was just worried you'd get dominated by the left-handed player in the match the day after tomorrow!"

Maokai's smile faded, and his face became somewhat worried.

Although he had great confidence in Chen Xiao, he couldn't overcome the fact that his opponent was left-handed!

He's currently the only "domestic war emperor" in the LPL!

I was so scared I cried!

Thinking about the new talent he had just drawn, Chen Xiao decided to give the coach some confidence: "Maybe I'll have a breakout performance in the match the day after tomorrow? Don't be so sure I'll lose to you in lane!"

If I manage to draw the right mid-lane hero, I might be able to challenge Knight!

Ke Maokai was unaware of his talent and simply smiled wryly, saying, "If I gave you another year, I believe you might be able to beat Knight in lane—but it's too early now."

Chen Xiao hadn't even met Zuo Shou once since he arrived!

Maokai was already regretting why he hadn't promoted him from the reserve team at the beginning of the season.

This way, you can get used to the left-handed playing style in advance!

Hey!

It's all Little Cream's fault!

The match between JDG and NIP started on time at 5 PM.

Chen Xiao was pulled into the tactics meeting room by Ah Shui to watch the game together.

Although he knew the final outcome, he couldn't go against the coaching staff's wishes.

In Guo Hao and Mao Kai's minds, even if they try their best tomorrow, it will be difficult to defeat BLG.

Therefore, it is essential to research your teammates in the loser's bracket finals beforehand!

"I actually hope JD Gaming can win today—after playing so many games, I'm quite familiar with their playing style!"

With one game at best and one at best, Xiaotian seems to have found his rhythm against JD Gaming, and he's already praying before the game even starts.

Ah Shui, however, held a different view: "I still hope that Yi Jin and I can advance, maybe we can meet in the loser's bracket final—oops, pshaw!"

369 is half-reclining in a chair.

"I can play against anyone, because neither of these teams' top laners are a match for me."

:

Chicken and Holy Gun Bro have indeed lost more often than won against 369 in recent years.

But that was before he left JD.com!

Just a heads up, your win rate in the Spring Split was only 54%.

Meiko pushed up her glasses, looking like a data fanatic with obsessive focus.

Such data is quite mediocre among the top three teams in the LPL.

After winning so many games, your laning advantage rate is only slightly over 50%. What does that mean?

At least you won't be the eldest or second eldest brother in the team!

"When Brother 9 was with JD.com last year, his win rate was not as good as it is now."

Chen Xiao also chimed in with a "critical hit".

Last year, although JDG was the king of the league, the carry was basically carried by the mid, bottom and jungle lanes.

369 mostly plays tanky, resilient champions. Even against Bin, whom he frequently defeats, he often wins the game but not the lane, sometimes even remaining at a disadvantage in his lane until the end of the match.

This is why, even though JDG has won so many games against BLG, no one thinks 369 is "BIN's number one daddy".

The matchup really didn't create a significant gap.

"Stop badmouthing my 9th brother, he'll just tank for you in tomorrow's match."

The match began quickly.

Everyone was watching the game intently, except for Chen Xiao, who was hiding in a corner watching BLG's game replay.

Only he knew the final result of the match and was clear about just how strong BLG was this year!

In the S-series finals, he battled T1 to the fifth game, and even had a chance to win the championship at one point.

If it weren't for eIk's greed for lane, if it weren't for on's Flash miss Q.

Perhaps everything will be different!

But reality doesn't offer "what ifs".

LPL has once again missed its most important opportunity.

"Ruler is in phenomenal form today, completely dominating Photic in the bottom lane!"

""

"Holy Gun's experience is also slightly superior; he used cards to suppress Chicken's Quesanti, gaining a significant advantage!"

"The toothpaste's condition is also improving, and it's slightly outperforming Rookie in lane!"

"Kanavi has a huge advantage; their unstoppable invasion is back! AKI is struggling to defend!"

In the second game, NIP changed their strategy, picking Shyvana for Shanji, locking in their signature Lee Sin, and Rookie also brought out his signature Ahri.

""

"A brilliant counterattack!"

The match between JDG and NIP was extremely close.

The two sides are evenly matched, and a fight between them would be a fierce battle.

This directly dragged the match into a fifth and decisive game!

In the end, JD Gaming came out on top, with Ruler and Kanavi dominating the game!

This is why LPL still favored Korean players until S14.

Their combat effectiveness is truly undeniable!

Except for a few hopeless cases, most Korean players who come to the LPL have strengthened the team.

Of course, this also illustrates just how dire the current environment is for the LPL.

Saying there's a shortage of young talent is an understatement.

There isn't a single one of the new generation capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities!

Occasionally, outstanding performers like Yinhe and Xiaohao emerge, but ultimately their brilliance is fleeting.

I can't stay on the field as long as the older generation.

Chen Xiao is well aware of the magnitude of the crisis facing the LPL.

If we fail to achieve results in the next two years, even more capital will leave the market!

Ultimately, this led to the decline of the entire esports industry.

If we don't want to see this happen, we have to win the championship this year!

But how easy is that?

The discussion among teammates dispelled the chaotic thoughts in my mind.

Ah Shui rocked back and forth in his chair, letting out a long sigh: "We're playing BLG tomorrow, the pressure is immense!"

"If we lose to ELK again, we'll really be called their favorite son!"

369 also looked worried, his expression shifty.

He wasn't very confident facing Ah Bin either.

The two faced off at the beginning of the season, and 369 suffered a crushing defeat.

This greatly dampened his confidence.

I'm also starting to wonder if the team's success over the past two years was really due to my teammates?

But he wouldn't say it; he had his own pride.

Xiao Tian, ​​who usually loves to joke, didn't have much of a smile on his face at this moment.

XUN—also one of his victims!
