Chapter 223 LCK’s super dark horse, the ratio of talent to hard work
Chapter 223 LCK’s super dark horse, the ratio of talent to hard work
As time goes by, the discussion about the Asian Games on the Internet is getting higher and higher, which is something the Asian Games Organizing Committee is very happy to see.
Their choice to make esports a performance sport is a test in itself.
It is difficult for traditional sports to generate much enthusiasm except for related enthusiasts.
After all, it is not a competition at the level of the Olympic Games. Most people are only interested in one thing:
How many gold medals did we win?
After understanding the number of gold medals, I basically lost interest in this aspect.
After all, except for the city hosting the Asian Games, the work of others will not change because of the Asian Games.
For this reason, the current Asian Games does not receive particularly high attention.
Therefore, after a long meeting and exchange, the Asian Games Organizing Committee decided to select the emerging industry of e-sports as a performance event of the Asian Games.
The purpose is to get closer to young people.
In fact, there has always been debate about whether e-sports counts as sports.
This question is also difficult to answer.
Because sports are mostly physical confrontations in the traditional sense, while e-sports is more of a mental aspect.
But... if e-sports doesn’t count, then how can mental sports like Go and chess count?
So this boundary is difficult to grasp.
The Asian Games Organizing Committee is also testing the waters this time.
However, this kind of thing is a great thing for esports.
Regardless of whether it counts as a sport or not, regardless of whether it can be included in the medal list.
As long as it can appear at the Asian Games, it means that e-sports is gradually moving closer to the mainstream from a niche culture.
This is more or less an endorsement.
The e-sports at this Asian Games is not limited to League of Legends.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2018, StarCraft 2, Hearthstone, and Clash Royale are also on the list.
There is also a game that domestic players play every day, but whose name they are not familiar with at all: Legend Showdown.
When it comes to Legend Duel, many people may not know much about it, but when it comes to its other name [Glory of Kings International Server], everyone should be able to suddenly realize it.
I am super, farmer!
At this time, Xu Yuan had already arrived in Jakarta, the host city of the Asian Games, and indeed met the representative team composed of active KPL professional players.
But to be honest, he was a little disappointed.
"Why don't you recognize me?"
He actually knows several Honor of Kings players.
"Han Xin is stealing the tower, can he steal it? Can't he steal it?
Wait a minute, it seems I can steal it!
He produced a famous sword, Siming! "
Because of this thing, he knew Menglei who stole the tower.
Another one is Fei Niu.
After all, he stole the introductory words for closing the account, so he was also somewhat impressed.
Who dares to stand upright? I am the only General Fei Niu!
Because the flying cow is easily reminiscent of the flying cow, Xu Yuan is also a little curious about him.
Another one is Yi Nuo, after all, he is known as Faker of KPL.
But now, Xu Yuan didn't see anyone.
It's normal to feel disappointed.
The Honor of Kings players in the distance also saw them and came over very excitedly to ask for autographs.
After all, professional players in League of Legends may not necessarily understand Honor of Kings, but many professional players in Honor of Kings know League of Legends.
The difference in heat is this.
Don’t forget who gave the title of Nongbia to the players of Honor of Kings.
This is the dominance of our dogs, win!
Xu Yuan patiently signed autographs and took photos with them, and then watched them go away.
"It seems like the King of Glory game is ahead of us, right?"
He vaguely remembered such a thing.
"Well, if they can win, Honor of Kings should be the first e-sports gold medal."
Meiko understands a little bit.
"Can we still lose?"
Xu Yuan smiled.
Unlike League of Legends, the game Honor of Kings is not played by many foreigners at all. Except for the domestic KPL, it is basically a wild card.
The so-called World Championship every year is actually only played by domestic teams.
The stuff played abroad is a legendary matchup, and its intensity is much lower than KPL.
Can you fucking lose?
It makes no sense.
The group of people got on the arranged bus and drove towards the training ground.
On the way, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.
After all, the players themselves are not too old, so why should they have bad intentions?
They are all just Internet-addicted teenagers in the eyes of many people.
So even though some players had never met other players before the Asian Games except during competitions, they are now becoming familiar with them quickly.
"Do you want a drink?"
Letme took out a bottle of Nutritional Express and shook it at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan nodded and took it, "Thank you."
A smile appeared on Letme's face, which relieved the tension in her heart.
It seems...it's not particularly difficult to get in touch with.
Xu Yuan felt similar to him, thinking that the players were all okay.
No one has a particularly bad temper, everyone is quite polite.
Xiye comes across as very honest and honest, and she is spreading snacks as soon as she gets in the car.
Letme is also very easy to get along with. She gives everyone drinks as soon as they get in the car.
Others are quite nice!
Considering Letme's goodwill, Xu Yuan decided to temporarily forget about losing 50 rice in his previous life to buy his [Being Yan Junze from Letme].
It’s only 50 yuan, so I really can’t afford to miss it all the time.
Is he, Xu Yuan, such a stingy person?
That is, half a book is an advertisement, half a book is nonsense, and it is just hard to wipe the butt.
Really, he didn't hold a grudge at all.
"By the way, coach, who will we play in the next training match?"
Xu Yuan suddenly asked.
Uzi was also a little curious, "Yeah, who are you fighting with?"
Abu grinned, "Who else could it be? An old acquaintance."
When he said this, Xu Yuan understood.
"It's IG again..."
This one is even more Bodhisattva-hearted!
IG has been EDG's designated training partner since S7, and now in S8 they still often play training matches with EDG.
The players on both sides are very familiar with each other. They often go out to eat together, and sometimes they even share a table when they meet in a restaurant.
What Xu Yuan likes most is that IG’s training matches are completely different from other teams.
Other teams may hide things, but IG really doesn't.
How they should play the game is how they play the training matches.
The main character is a person with clear eyes and a clear sense of stupidity.
EDG is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage.
Both the previous Abu and the current kkoma have emphasized this to IG many times. Let them try not to expose too many tactics in scrims.
But it's no use at all.
IG: Tactics...what are tactics?
My head feels so itchy that it feels like my brain is about to grow.
It can only be said that EDG has tried its best, but IG still chooses to go its own way.
They are definitely the best opponents in training matches, because even in training matches they will play very seriously and with very high intensity.
Just as he was talking, Xu Yuan's cell phone rang.
When he picked it up and looked at it, he immediately smiled. "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon?"
Pick it up and press the call button on WeChat.
"Hey?"
"Can you hear what my brother is saying?"
There was a somewhat careless voice on the phone that day.
"It's not you who checked the eight-digit number, my brother is really going to get carsick right now."
Xu Yuan said angrily.
"No, why do you say no? I won't say any more, let's get down to business. Pu Zi's passport is missing. His girlfriend probably took it."
Ah Shui on the other end of the phone sighed,
"What should we do now? Passports are very troublesome."
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, "How do you say poof?"
"Puff is right next to me. He said he might as well just make do with it, and he's ready to promise his girlfriend."
Xu Yuan exclaimed, "I'm super turtle!"
Can you fucking agree to this?
Pfft, this is not iron boiling sheep.
Even more exaggerated than Boiling Sheep, the reincarnation of a pure ATM machine is destined to popcorn for bad women.
he asked quickly.
"Ah Shui, can you hear me?"
"You can hear it."
"He's next to you, right?"
"correct."
Xu Yuan sneered and spoke.
"Just slap him twice and see if he still loses his mind."
"Ah this..."
Ah Shui glanced at Puzi next to him, feeling a little eager to try.
"Really?"
"I'm super, don't!"
A special voice sounded, he grabbed the phone and spoke in a very aggrieved tone.
"Yuanzi, what should I do? It seems like there is nothing we can do."
Xu Yuan asked directly,
"Isn't this stealing something? Should I just call the police?"
The imp on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment.
"what?"
"She is just your girlfriend, and you are not married. Why should she take your things? Just call the police."
Pozi thought about it carefully.
Xiba, that makes sense!
Xu Yuan smacked his lips as he watched the call end.
These early pros basically lacked common sense because almost all their time was devoted to training.
But it’s not all like this, some players are just characters.
Just like knight.
Looking at his introverted look, who would have thought that he could abort someone else's girlfriend?
Use Kangba Maggot Baby’s words to describe it:
I can't even imagine the scene of Knight getting hard.
The bus stopped and the training location arrived.
Xu Yuan took a deep breath and got off the bus.
Next, it’s the Asian Games training camp.
He was wearing a very nice dress at the moment.
The jacket of the athlete representing the national team this time.
The overall base color is white, with red texture spreading from the wrist to the neck. It is a baseball jacket with a classic round neck design.
The difference is that on the left chest of this dress is a highly symbolic national flag.
This means that they are the representative players of CN.
On the right side of the clothes, the player's real name and ID are embroidered from top to bottom.
For example, Xu Yuan is [Xu Yuan Savior].
And on the back of the clothes, there is only one simple word.
【China】
Actually, this word is enough.
In fact, there was a matching short-sleeved shirt, but Xu Yuan didn't wear it today, so he just brought it over.
In addition to this set, there is also a blue and white dress in the suitcase, which even has a special name [Blue Fantasy]
Xu Yuan's outfit is an athlete's outfit, while that outfit is a dress.
But Xu Yuan still prefers the one he is wearing now.
Don't ask, just ask and it will be red and festive.
After being settled by the staff, we had a dinner first under the guidance of a dedicated person.
Because the food was provided by the organizer in Jakarta, Xu Yuan was a little uncomfortable eating.
After all, he has been eating rice since he was a child, so suddenly experiencing Indonesian specialties made him a little uncomfortable.
But there is nothing I can do but eat this thing.
Because the dietary regulations of the Asian Games are still very strict, the recipes are specified by specialized nutritionists.
Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, it is absolutely packed with nutrients.
Health is indeed healthy, Xu Yuan can accept it if it tastes a little bit unpalatable.
Compared to his calmness, Xiaotian's face turned green when he ate this for the first time.
"Such a fucking ridiculous taste."
This is Xiaotian's only feeling.
Take, for example, strawberry-flavored buns.
One can imagine how outrageous it is.
Tian Ye laughed loudly, and then fell silent as soon as he ate.
Eating and drinking without saying a word belongs to Yes.
After a night's rest, training officially began the next day. Opponent, IG!
Today's IG is very strong. Although it is a little uncomfortable when playing against EDG, it is basically a dimensionality-reducing blow to other teams.
Only RNG can compete with IG.
And such a team never hides anything in training matches.
This also directly led to the fact that seven training games were played that day, and the Asian Games team only won two.
Lose wildly!
Of these two, Xu Yuan took out Xia.
After gaining an advantage in the laning, he continued to radiate in the middle, helping Xiye resist the pressure of Rookie.
Then delay the later stage until the Six Gods are installed to win.
Uzi fought three times and lost all of them.
Xu Yuan played four games and only won two.
This kind of record obviously makes Abramovich very dissatisfied.
"I won't say anything else on the first day. Your cooperation is really poor. You have to learn to trust your teammates and think about other things after you finish your laning."
"Let's talk about it. If you have any questions, tell us. Don't remain silent. We need to communicate!"
His face was serious.
Abramovich knows very well that players are under great pressure when they lose like this.
But now that training only lasts so long, he doesn't have extra time to comfort the players, so he can only force them to adjust themselves.
And communication is always the best way to adjust.
It's not scary to lose the game, and it's even less scary to have a fight after being abused.
The scary thing is that after losing, no one said a word, just silence.
That's when there's really no other way.
Abu would rather see them arguing than see them remain silent.
"The jungler's thinking is very important. We can no longer interfere with Xiaotian. We have to work around his rhythm."
Xiye spoke first.
Although he looks a little introverted, sometimes he doesn't choose to remain silent.
"No, in that case, we are not good at attacking in the top lane. If we can't get Ornn in the top lane, it will be easy for us to support our father."
"When the opponent's top laner gets lane rights, he and the jungler enter my jungle area. It's very difficult for me to play. The top laner should at least be evenly matched to fight."
Xiaotian is blunt. There is no need to be polite in the review period after the game, just talk about things.
He was just stating the facts.
Letme's face suddenly turned red.
Xiaotian told the truth tactfully enough.
What does it mean to not be good at attacking?
Letme was tortured by Theshy all day today. As long as there was no Orn Thain, he would be crushed a lot on the road, so Xiaotian had to help him.
"I... you need to give me more feedback. I can't beat him in the first place. You guys always don't say a word. Even I don't know what to do. What if I push the line and send it away?"
He spoke almost numbly and spread his hands.
"When I think about this kind of thing, my hands keep shaking, even when playing in a group. When I'm in the front, I don't know what you want to do, whether you want to start a group or protect the back row."
"Then if I don't get feedback, my hands will keep shaking, and I don't want to!"
Xu Yuan and Wu Zi raised their heads at the same time, stared at him for a while, and then looked away in unison.
This scene was also faithfully recorded by the camera in the training room. It was called the "Double Death Stare" and became a famous scene in the future.
Uzi finally couldn't help but speak. His face was full of irritation.
"I think if the atmosphere is so bad, why bother fighting? Just rest today."
"Every time I finished that BP and picked that lineup, I knew I was going to lose again."
"We just use the heroes we play well and don't think about coordination. How can we play the game like this?"
"If we were caught in the bot lane, you middle and top junglers would also have to do something, right? We were caught, and you tangled with them for a while, and then stopped fighting. Doesn't it mean we gave it away for nothing?"
He sighed and leaned back in his chair, covering his face with his hands.
"Forget it, that's it, I think that's it."
Tian Tian nodded slightly,
"I think what Uzi said is fine. Everyone chooses what they want to play on the first day. You can get it if you can."
"But in the end, the lineup came out and it didn't work. Then there will be no chance to win it in the game. What's the point of showing it out?"
"The lineup can either be determined to play a traditional double C, or play four guarantees and one, or play a single belt, etc., but you must be clear about what system you want to play."
"The issue of command also needs to be resolved. It was fine when Yuanzi came on board, and Nosuke can be the commander."
Tian Ye glanced at Uzi, who was covering his face, and said unceremoniously.
"But when Uzi went up, there were too many and too many chaotic sounds from Maili. Uzi, you should also pay attention and leave the command to Xiaotian and me."
"The C position is responsible for output and survival. The command will distract you."
Uzi did not refute and nodded silently.
If he was the only AD, he might not see any problem.
But after standing behind Xu Yuan and watching how he played the game, Wu Zi also knew that this kind of thing was not good.
Although there was a vague meaning in Meiko's words that he was inferior to Xu Yuan, Uzi didn't care.
It's not as good as it is.
Xu Yuan was almost convinced.
Abu watched with satisfaction as the players communicated. Although their voices were not quiet, it could still be seen that the atmosphere was becoming more and more peaceful.
This is right.
Communicating calmly is always more effective than holding back and saying nothing.
But he soon noticed that Xu Yuan had not spoken.
Abu pushed Xu Yuan with his arm, faced his doubtful eyes and asked,
"Don't you have anything to say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other players' eyes fell on Xu Yuan.
They were also a little curious about Xu Yuan's thoughts.
I?
Xu Yuan smiled, "I don't have anything to say. Everyone played well."
"This is only the first day. Isn't it embarrassing that you can't beat IG? The LCK next door may not be able to beat IG, right? We still won two games."
"You can just solve the problem after you find it. Since it is determined to be a communication problem, then we will give clear instructions in the future."
Unlike others, Xu Yuan is very aware of the current format of the Asian Games.
Regardless of how noisy the LPL representative team is, the LCK next door might be even more noisy.
And...is IG weak?
Don’t forget, they were the original S8 champions.
For such a team, given that the current Asian Games team has only been running in for less than a day, it would be a good thing to win.
It's not all Xu Yuan's credit for winning two games. His teammates did help him withstand the pressure and gave him enough time to develop.
So Xu Yuan is really satisfied.
After all, the original Asian Games team was worse than them at this point in time, and was even almost eliminated in the group stage.
According to the toilet paper [From Letme to Yan Junze] published by Letme, at the end of the Asian Games group stage, they were actually eliminated because the group they were assigned to only allowed two teams to advance, and the results of the LPL at that time It's third.
In the end, the organizers considered that the group grouping was unreasonable and added one seat before they could enter the knockout round.
Don't think that the Asian Games is just a simple competition. It takes time to get used to new teammates.
Others may not be able to get the lineup together in a season. Why did you get used to it in just a few days?
After hearing Xu Yuan's words, everyone looked at each other.
It seems...that's no problem.
IG is indeed very strong, and it’s already great to win on the first day.
Even if they win very little, it at least proves that this team has an upper limit and will not be unable to fight back against top teams.
And the main problem now is obviously communication and command.
With EDG's Nosuke, a basic command framework can be established.
In fact, a solution has been found for this problem.
In this case, why bother?
Time is indeed running out, but the fight won't start right away.
In the already tense atmosphere, Xu Yuan's words gave the players a little breather.
Afterwards, it was time to review the video of the previous game.
And as Xu Yuan thought, the current situation of the KR representative team is also very bad.
However, unlike the CN team which lost miserably, the KR team won too much.
After playing all day, they even maintained a complete victory record.
However, coach KKoma's face turned a little ugly.
"Can we find a better team?"
"...It's difficult, because as you know, there are not many top teams in the LCK now. Players in many teams are still on the representative team. They can only replace the original players with substitutes, so the training intensity is also not high."
The staff was a little helpless and answered truthfully.
kkoma has a headache.
Someone may have said, isn’t it better to keep winning?
Of course it's good to win, but it doesn't make sense for the team to keep winning in training games.
The purpose of training matches is to check for omissions, make up for shortcomings, and improve strength.
However, the opponents were too weak, so they couldn't find any problems at all, and naturally they couldn't talk about any improvement.
The training effect of such a training match is worse than losing all the time.
There are only a few strong teams in the LCK now, but the core players of these teams are all on the representative team.
Samsung's bottom laners Chidi and CoreJJ were there, so Samsung couldn't fight them.
KZ's jungler Xiaohua is here, so KZ can't fight with them.
After excluding these two teams, only KT and SKT are slightly stronger.
Unfortunately, KT is on holiday now.
Although SKT has been training with them, the training effect is basically non-existent when they keep winning.
Of course, Lee Sang Hyuk still had a great time playing.
Of course he is happy to be able to play against SKT.
He is also very happy to be able to torture SKT, even in training games.
After all, it was because of the high-level palace fight that he was disappointed and chose to leave.
In one sentence:
Like, pop the champagne!
While kkoma was thinking hard, the staff member on the side suddenly lit up and spoke hurriedly.
"Coach kkoma, maybe there really is a more suitable training team."
"Oh?"
kkoma was refreshed,
"Who?"
The staff member considered the words before speaking.
"You may not know that there is a team in the LCK that is recognized as having great potential."
"It only entered the LCK from the secondary league this summer, but it has already entered the playoffs as soon as it entered the LCK, and its current ranking is not low. The players' personal abilities are also very strong. They are all the thousand-point kings in the Korean server."
"This team is favored by many people. I got in touch with their team leader and they are willing to help."
kkoma's memory was searched among this year's LCK teams, and soon he knew who the staff was talking about.
If it is this team, the effect should be pretty good?
Anyway, it can't be worse than SKT.
He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"I understand, it's GRF, right?"
"Inside!"
The staff smiled and nodded.
Griffin, also known as Griffin.
A super dark horse who just entered the LCK in this summer split.
Generally speaking, new teams entering the LCK are ranked in the middle of the pack at best, and they basically have to pay tuition in the first year.
But GRF is different.
They achieved second place in this year's summer regular season.
This is very exaggerated.
Because this means that their regular season results are only slightly worse than KT, stepping on the heads of first-class teams such as KZ, GENG, SKT, and AFS.
Although the current staffing of the team is not particularly famous today, they will basically be top professional players in the future.
The top laner is Sword, the jungler is Tarzan, the mid laner is Douyin's number one mid laner Chovy, and the bottom lane team includes husband Viper and assistant Lianzi lehends.
Except for the Sword Emperor who is a piece of shit, all of them are very capable players.
This is why we say "basically" all of them, but not all of them.
kkoma has some impressions of Griffin's mid laner Chovy, because his laning skills are indeed very good.
But that's about it.
Because kkoma has personally trained Lee Sang Hyuk.
Compared to Chovy, kkoma is the most optimistic about Viper in this Griffin.
Because when chatting with friends in the LCK, that friend said that this player named Viper has very strict requirements on himself and works very hard.
KKoma likes such players very much, just like he likes Xu Yuan very much.
He has always believed that for professional players, hard work is the prerequisite for any achievement.
Talent, while important, is not really decisive.
If you don't work hard, no matter how talented a professional player is, it will be impossible to achieve results in your life.
And even if the talent is not top-notch among professional players.
As long as you reach above the level, you can surpass the top talented players through hard work.
Pay attention to the premise, this is [for professional players].
got it?
Everyone already has a talent score of 90 or above, and this talent gap can be made up.
"Please help me thank Griffin."
kkoma specifically warned.
"Ok."
The next training match is about to begin.
At this moment, there is only one week left before the start of the Asian Games.
