She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

【？？？】

[The opening ceremony has begun!]

Mu-ge knows how to trick the viewers into commenting.

Seriously, they don't even want to study RT when researching their opponents in the World Championship. If they win, it's fine, but if they lose, it'll cause a huge mess.

[You believe Mu Ge just by talking? Do you understand the show's effect? ​​The trash talk segment is all about insulting the opponent. Youzi was so serious, and then he said something like "3 to 0, I'll send you into the abyss" at the end. I didn't even think it was trash talk.]

But then again, if the contestants only start trash-talking once they're on stage, they probably can't see it, right?

After finishing the first game and returning to the rest room, you'll see it, won't you?

[Laughing so hard I could die]

The tense atmosphere is already set, let's start the game quickly, I am the King of Haste!

【…

Then--

WLD lost the first game decisively, much to everyone's surprise.

The screen was filled with "Huh?" comments, clearly indicating that no one expected it to start like this.

No, was it appropriate to talk so much trash before the match and then lose the first game so quickly?

RNM, refund my money!

What kind of fireworks are those? Top lane Yone got picked and you can't play anymore, huh? Stop messing around, lady. Even a random Challenger top laner on the international server wouldn't be this bad.

[1-6 is really hard to beat. Why is AD starting to die again? Is he possessed by his own body from the regular season?]

The key issue isn't the bizarre mid-jungle duo. Syndra is barely acceptable, but the crucial problem is the entire werewolf jungler, who completely overwhelmed the jungle.

It's not that there's no synergy at all. The fundamental logic is that Syndra grabs the werewolf and uses her Q to pull the monsters or minions to the enemy's face, which is similar to Lee Sin's second Q and Sion's E to pull the minions. Unfortunately, I only managed to achieve this effect once.

[Nonsense, RT has already learned its lesson once, do you expect them to learn it a second time? The title of first in the regular season is not something to be taken lightly.]

So the question is, whose fault is it?

The coaching staff is definitely to blame. I understand lip reading. Before picking Syndra, Mu Ge objected, but the camera wasn't on Coco's side, so we couldn't see what she said. But in the end, they still locked in Syndra, so what she said didn't matter anymore.

Actually, Syndra isn't a big problem; she's just not strong in the early game and slows down the pace. But Warwick is a big problem. Picking him is just making him a toy for Hecarim and Lillia, two mainstream jungle carries.

WLD seems to be half asleep; his first game was a complete disaster.

In a meta where you'd be terrible even if you played in the jungle, and late-game heroes would just explode on the spot, I never expected the WLD coaching staff to come up with that lineup.

【…

In the RT lounge, Liang Wenmei, in an extremely good mood, couldn't wait to play Su Mu's trash talk for everyone.

"Hahaha, this naive kid has no skills but is incredibly arrogant. Now he's being made a fool of, isn't he?"

“Uh…” Youzi was speechless for a moment.

She knew that Liang Wenmei wasn't very good at understanding games, so after thinking about it, she decided not to say anything to please her.

As Su Mu's rival, she was well aware of Su Mu's abilities.

They certainly have the right to be arrogant. Objectively speaking, Su Mu's personal strength is indeed above mine; he was just let down by the lineup.

Of course, it's also possible that, similar to the first game against ESG where they used Juggernaut as a mid-laner, the WLD coaching staff wanted to force a ban.

Unfortunately, RT doesn't fall for this tactic. They know how to counter the mid-lane Master Yi and aren't afraid of immature strategies.

This is no longer the regular season. If WLD wants to defeat RT, they will have no chance without pulling out all the stops.

The other contestants didn't all remain silent. Tulip touched his nose, his face full of speechlessness.

"Mu-ge is hilarious! Although she's usually quite eccentric in her speech, this kind of arrogance sounds more like she's reading a prepared script..."

“It doesn’t sound like reading a prepared statement.” Starking shook his head.

"To be honest, this is infuriating. We were the top team in the regular season, the strongest team in the LPL on the surface. Does WLD think that just because they beat us in the regular season, they can do whatever they want in the playoffs?"

Liang Wenmei sneered, "Hmph, it's good that WLD is arrogant. I'm afraid they're not arrogant enough, otherwise, slapping them in the face won't be as satisfying..."

"I am very satisfied with your performance in the first game. Strive to continue your efforts and crush them. If you win 3-0, the boss will definitely give you a bonus. I think you all understand how important the first championship trophy of the LPL professional league is."

"Don't worry, manager." Scar confidently put his hands on his hips and tilted his chin slightly. "Yi Lian's skill level is not good enough. The bottom lane is a weak point. Actually, Xinghuang can easily beat Yan Hua in the top lane. As long as Youzi and Lao Yu don't collapse, WLD can't beat us no matter what."

Liang Wenmei nodded.

She liked hearing that.

Recalling how Su Mu had pretended to reject her, and imagining Su Mu's ugly expression after defeating WLD, Liang Wenmei felt incredibly pleased.

Tch, do you really think that just because you've achieved some minor success in the national college league, you can do whatever you want?

As the most prestigious esports club in the country, RT's invitation to her return was a great honor, yet she dared to refuse; she truly doesn't know what's good for her.

Oh well, it's all in the past anyway.

As long as we defeat WLD, where Su Mu plays, even if Su Mu pays us a low price during the transfer period, we will absolutely not give her a contract.

The point is to let those young people who don't know their place know what it means to miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Humph.

Just as Liang Wenmei was about to get carried away, Ye Feng Yuan Yue's voice rang out untimely, "Keep your contempt in check. WLD is just testing us. If you take the first game as their true level, you'll fall hard."

275. Give RT a little swaying shock.

Upon hearing this, Liang Wenmei glared at Ye Feng Yuanyue with some displeasure, but she did not make any sarcastic remarks.

The first game's draft was excellent, and the players played beautifully, so she was in a good mood and didn't care.

Isn't it natural for the strong to completely crush the weak? So what if an elephant looks down on an ant? Can an ant really turn the world upside down?

The night breeze and the full moon ignored Liang Wenmei's gaze.

He glanced at the contestants present and saw that the two or three younger ones seemed unimpressed, so his eyes darkened slightly.

"Let me say it again, don't underestimate WLD. That last game wasn't their true level. Enough with the small talk, let's start discussing the tactical approach for the next game."

Youzi and Tulip nodded, but the other three, although their expressions were somewhat restrained, still had an ambiguous look in their eyes.

……

The short break ended, and the second game began.

"The WLD players don't seem to be affected by the loss; they all seem quite relaxed."

"There were some issues with the tactical focus last time. I wonder how Coach Coco will adjust it."

"We need to get Su Mu and Xiao Wei moving together. In the current version, it's not suitable to give Su Mu a scaling Earthbound Spirit hero. He still needs to roam and set the pace."

“I don’t think we can give Yanhua Volibear anymore. In professional matches, you can’t just look at the hero’s stats. Volibear is only good in terms of stats right now, but his team fight mechanics are still not very good,” Jian Yun analyzed.

"It's not reasonable for Yone, who hasn't played against Starking in the last game, to be at a disadvantage in lane."

"This is Yanhua's consistent style. She is better at large-scale team fights and is a very good team player. She can make changes to the version and her current performance is already quite good. After all, she was not overwhelmed by Starking's solo lane."

"..."

That's what they say, but after watching the games for so long, even viewers who have spent real money understand one thing—

Professional players who can't adapt to version changes and can only play well by taking advantage of version updates are destined to never reach the highest level.

What worries fans is that both WLD's top laner and ADC players show this tendency.

The game against ESG didn't reveal much; their advantage was too great. But the game against RT exposed a lot of problems, just like when ESG played against OP.

In fact, the situations are quite similar...

Many fans of Thorn couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Could 峮O医弃俬焐鸠IVjiuWLD really lose?

Sigh... There are still few all-around players like Su Mubai and Wei. They are very good at adapting to the new version, but unfortunately their teammates seem to be a bit behind.

Hopefully, they can give their fans a boost in the second game…

The commentary and analysis didn't last long before the screen switched to the draft phase.

"Here it comes. WLD will stay on the red side in the second game, and RT seems to have changed their strategy. As one of the few teams that targets Su Mu's hero pool, they will shut down the Neeko they released last game."

“WLD is in a bit of a predicament right now. Yone is too effective in the top lane. If they don’t ban him on the red side, he will likely be picked by the enemy team. But banning him is not worth it.”

"With Ornn, we can still fight, but RT will definitely ban him." Luanming didn't finish his sentence.

Veteran viewers understood what he meant; it was simply a matter of Yan Hua's hero pool – he couldn't bring out weapons that were at least good against Yone, like the Crocodile.

The gameplay of this weapon is very different from that of traditional tanks, and the crocodile relies heavily on early and mid-game strategies and lane advantages, which are the weaknesses of WLD's top laner.

If change were that easy, everyone could be Su Mu.

As Luanming said, RT doesn't target warriors at all. Seeing that WLD's first ban didn't target Yone, they countered by banning the tank Ornn.

As for Sion, another champion with the "En" in his name, he is much harder to play against Yone than Ornn in terms of mechanics, so they definitely won't bother with him. The goal is to force WLD to give Yone a ban, thus squeezing out WLD's space to relieve laning pressure on the weaker lane.

The difficulty for the coaching staff in drafting a draft strategy is limited by the players' skill level and hero pool; this is not just a casual statement, but has already been ruthlessly proven.

In the past, it was easier to beat weaker teams by using the outstanding individual skills of the mid and jungle players to open up the game. However, it is not so easy to beat a team like RT, where all five lanes have strong players.

Even if I can't beat you, I can at least maintain basic development and wait for my teammates to gain momentum.

The night breeze and the full moon know perfectly well what's going on. (Wine)

Liu Keke was well aware of this.

She frowned slightly, considering the crucial decision regarding the draft phase. Should she abandon it?

Su Mu suddenly said, "Let's use Plan A."

Before Liu Keke could speak, Yan Hua pursed his lips and uttered a single word. *Whoosh*

"Brother Mu...I..." Dad

"Everyone believes you can perform as well as you did in the practice matches, right, Coco?" Su Mu didn't let Yan Hua finish speaking.

As Liu Keke sensed the trust in Su Mu's words, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Yes, why hesitate? If you don't even trust your own players, what's the point of playing the game?

"Ah Hua, if you dare to play, I dare to give you a choice. What's your choice?"

Yan Hua glanced to his side and met Su Mu's smiling face.

"This time, I'll crush Star Emperor! I'll settle the score for how he swaggered around last game by relying on hero counters and the jungler! Let's go with Plan A!"

Inferiority complex and lack of self-confidence are the biggest enemies of esports players.

"OK, give RT a little swaying shock." Liu Keke closed her notebook.

The strategy for the second game has already been decided, so there's no need to look at the data anymore.

The first round of bans was as expected; RT first-picked Ahri, continuing their tactical approach of prioritizing mid-lane control and tempo.

"RT picked Ahri, so the jungler can't pick Lillia. Since WLD gave the ban to Yone, and Hecarim is still out of the ban list, what do you think? Should WLD try to pick Lillia themselves instead of banning her?"

"The probability is not high. Hecarim and Ahri are not very effective together, so there is no need to pick them. Vi and Wukong are more suitable, so there are many other options for the RT jungler position."

As soon as Jian Yun finished speaking, two heroes were locked down on the first and second floors of WLD.

Lilia was fine, but the crocodile was truly surprising.

Other teams don't have as many tricks when it comes to picking Renekton as their top laner, but WLD's top laner is different.

Was Yanhua that confident in the second game?

"Objectively speaking, Yanhua doesn't play Renekton much..." Luanming pondered for a moment and guessed, "Someone has to choose one of the two halves of the map first. It seems that WLD wants to make things more comfortable for the bot lane this game."

Night Breeze and Full Moon stared intently at the player's screen, pondering the meaning behind WLD's two choices.

The most obvious statement is no different from what Luanming said, but—

When did WLD become so straightforward in its business plan?

"Should I choose my men?" Tulip asked.

"No, let's choose the monkey. Get Jax for Ah Xing." Night Wind and Full Moon shook off their chaotic thoughts and gave their first answer.

If the top laner has a superior skill level in their lane, there's no need to pick a tank champion and try to outplay the opponent. Wouldn't it be better to focus on core damage dealers?

276. Leading by one T degree isn't unreasonable, is it?
