League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 237 Understanding Applause
Previously, in order to cooperate with the shark's event, most of the SKT players had downloaded YY Voice and could use it to a certain extent.
When Li Chen pulled Faker into the YY channel room, all doubts were dispelled.
Upon hearing the unfamiliar yet incomprehensible voice coming from the channel, viewers exclaimed in surprise, "Abstract!"
In the past, people might have wondered why Faker, a three-time world champion, would duo queue with an LPL professional player, since the two were simply not on the same level.
Now everyone is wondering, how could Faker, who was just swept in the MSI finals, be so heartless as to duo queue with Li Chen?
Faker said, "If you're ready, let's begin. What position do you want to play this game?"
After listening to the translator's message, Li Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's go with the main position first and the secondary position second. We won't fight with Sang-hyeok for the mid lane. I'm always very considerate of my buddies."
The translator immediately relayed the message to Faker, who then replied, "If you want to play mid lane, that's fine too. I can play support!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chen shook his head immediately: "Forget it then. It's not easy for random players to rank up. They finally get to start the game, so don't drag them down."
"By the way, did your fans cause you any trouble after you returned to China?" Li Chen knew it was a bit mean to ask this, but he couldn't help but ask anyway.
On the other side, Faker was silent for a while before saying, "We weren't affected too much, and the fans didn't blame us too much... except for Huni."
Before returning to China, Faker and his teammates were prepared to be cyberbullied by fans, given how badly they had lost this time.
But when they landed, they found that the fans weren't as frenzied as they had imagined; some were even comforting them.
The reason this situation occurred can only be attributed to Huni taking on the main responsibility all by herself.
In the three matches, it was somewhat understandable that Li Chen crushed the first two games, but it was truly inexplicable that A Guang utterly destroyed the last game.
As for the claims of jungler targeting or mid-laner targeting, fans don't care about any of that. All they know is that Huni is the one who should take the biggest blame for this loss.
Upon hearing this, Li Chen blinked. Thinking about how he would face SKT in this year's World Championship, and possibly even in the finals, he felt he should give Huni a hand, since it was hard to find such a straightforward opponent.
Thinking of this, Li Chen said, "Actually, Huni is good in every way, and her skills are very strong, but sometimes she's too cowardly... and sleazy."
"Why do you say that? I think his skills are just not as good as yours, so it's normal that he got crushed." Faker was a little puzzled, wondering why Li Chen would say that.
Li Chen smiled slightly and immediately began his rambling: "Although you are currently the strongest mid laner, you still don't understand the top lane. In fact, in the top lane, sometimes momentum, or rather mentality, is the most important, while technique is secondary."
"is that so?"
Faker was skeptical. Although he felt that mechanics were the most important thing, he thought about Li Chen's terrifying dominance in the top lane and felt that Li Chen was probably right.
At this moment, the chat in Li Chen's live stream room began to flood with comments.
[Okay, okay, the streamer is starting to fool us again!]
[This is inhuman! MSI just ended, and they already have to prepare for the World Championship.]
[It seems like Faker is about to be completely fooled.]
[Don't worry about feeling it, he's already crippled. Otherwise, what kind soul would ask a carry to duo queue with them?]
【4396: ? ? ? ? 】
Li Chen glanced at the comments, snorted, and said disdainfully, "You bunch of Bronze and Silver noobs, you struggle to even reach Gold, yet you dare to question Yamamoto Shiichi, the highest-ranked top laner in League of Legends. Get your notebooks out, I'll give you a proper explanation today."
The viewers in the live stream were used to Li Chen's taunts; everyone was just insulting each other, and whoever won was considered the boss.
"First of all, the top lane position in the league is isolated overseas and independent. In the early game, it is generally not affected by teammates. It is just two people fighting each other. At this time, skill is indeed important. But as a professional player, how bad can the skill be?"
The hero's combos are pretty much the same old thing, and even slightly skilled players in the King of Glory ranks know them all, let alone professional players. Everyone's about equal in skill, so momentum and mentality become especially important at this point.
Li Chen paused slightly at this point, took a sip of Warhorse Throat Lock, and at the same time, the popularity of the live stream was steadily increasing.
Faker, far away in the LCK, gradually became serious. He felt that Li Chen wasn't talking nonsense, and upon closer examination, it seemed that there was some truth to it.
After a three-second break, Li Chen spoke again: "Why do I say that momentum and mentality are more important? Because in ranked matches, you and your opponent can't use the same hero. When two different heroes are trading blows, one of them will always fall behind."
In the game, I often suffer losses when exchanging blows, but I am not afraid. I never think about whether I can beat the opponent, but only how to kill the opponent. But my opponent does not think that way.
When he sees me with even less health but still fighting so fiercely, he'll start to doubt whether he might be counter-killed. This thought changes his mindset; he becomes timid and hesitant to make any moves. That's when my opportunity arises.
[Hmm, that sounds kind of reasonable, doesn't it?]
[That's true. I used to be terrified of Darius, never daring to go all in, and I'd always get chased down and killed. But ever since I stopped caring about dying, I've been able to solo kill Darius quite often.]
In a narrow encounter, the brave prevail; true courage only preys on the weak.
[C is really teaching us something useful; I find what he said really helpful.]
Li Chen observed the changes in the comments and continued, "In the top lane, once you are solo killed by your opponent, you will become timid and afraid, and your performance will become increasingly poor. At this time, your opponent will mark you as a weakling and become more and more confident in their performance. The gap will immediately become apparent."
This is why it's so difficult to recover once you're solo killed in the top lane. Economy, level, and mentality are all very important influencing factors. So I suggest that when you play the top lane in a game, don't worry about whether you've lost to the opponent before.
Once the game starts again and both sides are back on equal footing, just pick your best hero and play. Losing once or twice isn't scary; what's scary is accepting that you're inferior to your opponent.
Huni failed to do that. Ever since his first loss to me, he's been plagued by self-doubt, perhaps without even realizing it himself. That's why he couldn't even beat A-Guang later on.
"You understand applause!"
