Chapter 27 Wouldn't it be better to avoid taking a few detours?
Upon entering the venue, Xiaohu noticed that compared to the Spring Split...
RNG has gained a lot more fans, and the overwhelming support has made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He would think, "It seems my performance at MSI has won them over."
but.
"Go Uzi!"
"World's No. 1 AD Carry".
"You absolutely must win the championship this year, little dog!"
"The best shooter!"
These comments will bring him back to reality... So all the extra fans are because of Uzi?
Before he joined RNG, the owner, Bai Xing, bought the entire team for him.
Xiao Hu was flattered and determined to play even better.
He did it, facing off against Pawn in the Spring Finals and winning his first league championship.
Uzi's addition to the team in the Summer Split initially excited him.
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
And that was indeed the case. After playing a few practice matches, Xiaohu felt that he was much stronger than Wuxin.
At that time, he even thought that if Uzi had come in the Spring Split, they would have defeated SKT and won the championship at MSI.
But gradually, he realized that his role in RNG was somewhat different.
He's practically gone from being a core carry in the mid lane to a core carry in the bottom lane.
The process was so fast that Xiaohu didn't even realize something was wrong before RNG ended up like this.
What could he possibly say?
Dissatisfied? Go fight for your place!
Xiao Hu couldn't do something like that; he was afraid that the team's atmosphere would become very, very bad because of him.
Well, as long as we can win, it's fine.
On the bright side, I'm not so tired anymore, and I can have more faith in the road ahead.
However, Xiaohu doesn't understand now how much this subtle influence will affect his future playing style.
As for today's opponent, LGD.
Their new mid laner is pretty good. He watched the first two games and thought Knight did a lot of things very well.
At least he's good enough to take over from Wei Shen.
Coach Fly was explaining today's strategy, and Uzi said he wasn't afraid of IMP.
Finally, let Xiaohu express his determination.
Xiaohu doesn't really want to follow in Xiye's footsteps, and he dislikes making harsh statements before matches.
But his teammates were just watching him, and he felt the pressure.
"Well, I'll let him know that LPL mid laners aren't so easy to beat."
Seeing everyone's smiles, Xiao Hu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"The enemy jungler is a noob, I'll absolutely crush him until he can't even find his head anymore," MXLG said arrogantly.
Fly didn't respond:
"We must do a good job of protecting the bottom half of the map. Vision is very important. Then, we should try to move the battlefield closer to the side where the dogs are, and then we should focus on micro-management and let the dogs get as many kills as possible."
He felt that there wasn't much to discuss about RNG right now, and that continuing to use this tactic was fine.
He can relax a bit more, after all, why should a coach be as tired as an athlete?
Moreover, bringing in Uzi is obviously to carry the team, and naturally, the tactics will also have to be geared towards him.
The training matches before the start of the tournament, and the current 2-0 record, have proven that this was the right decision.
Uzi accepted this arrangement without a second thought; he needed to play comfortably.
Only then can one maintain a stable mindset and have more room to maneuver.
......
The Cloud Internet Cafe is still hosting offline viewing events, but there aren't as many people attending after the last loss.
Many LGD fans online have gone into hiding after losing a game.
Here it comes! Let's watch this match. There's still a good chance they can beat RNG.
[It seems like RNG is a tougher opponent than EDG.]
Indeed, the previous weakness in the bottom lane is no longer there.
Uzi is definitely better than IMP.
Looper is better than Marin, that CJB.
【….】
The comments section was filled with various interpretations.
Fortunately, the players can't see it, otherwise their mentality would be affected to some extent.
"There's only one key point: we just need to keep an eye on Uzi and not give him any room to maneuver."
Pyl doesn't want to be a background character, and neither does IMP.
"Yes."
Soon, with the referee's confirmation, both sides entered the BP interface.
RNG is blue, LGD is red.
Under the rules, Jiangxia proactively chose the red buff to counter the top laner.
Today's match will almost certainly take place in the bottom lane.
The normal understanding would be that the top lane is insignificant, but Jiang Xia has the opposite understanding.
The reason is simple: putting all your eggs in one basket is never a safe bet.
Marin felt that the coach truly understood him.
Last night, IMP told him that Looper was his old teammate and very skilled, and that he should be careful.
But who isn't a champion top laner?
........
Regarding Banning people.
RNG shut down Hecarim, Rumble, and Soraka.
LGD's lineup consists of Spider, Troll Warlord, and Lulu.
"Is Uzi afraid of laning against our bot lane?" Pyl said sarcastically.
In fact, Uzi doesn't really like soft support matchups; he prefers his support to be a hard support.
This is how you can feel a good sense of security.
"They stole the enchantress."
"Should we get Syndra?"
"not good."
"Let's play Orianna." Jiang Xia commanded, seeing that the enemy team had locked in Jinx.
His thinking was very simple.
We need to use the clockwork ball to limit Uzi's team fights.
RNG picked LeBlanc for Xiaohu on the first floor, while LGD picked Lucian and Alistar as their bot lane duo on the first and second floors.
RNG's second and third floors, Lee Sin and Jinx are locked in directly.
LGD selects the starter on the third floor.
Knight took a deep breath; to be honest, this hero wasn't in his comfort zone.
But this is a competition, and he has to adapt.
Jiang Xia then selected a prince for Eimy, and the basic lineup was already taking shape.
The baby praised it from the commentary booth.
"LGD's roster...is really solid."
Miller: "But RNG picked their signature players."
The final round.
RNG picked Thresh on the fourth floor and Kennen on the fifth floor.
"Looper's really confident! He picked Kennen first, so he's not afraid of being countered at all!"
"That depends on Marin's choice."
"Jayce, that's Jayce. Marin isn't afraid of you at all; he's here to lane."
"Wow, these two champion top laners from LCK are really fiercely competitive."
Doll and Miller chatted back and forth.
[They really didn't ban LeBlanc, and LGD didn't even pick Syndra to counter her. They're so confident.]
[Confidence? Inflation!]
Just wait and see, this newbie is going to get a lesson from Xiaohu.
[Picking Orianna to counter LeBlanc shows this newbie has been influenced by LGD's overconfidence.]
Why aren't you playing Fizz anymore?
【...】
The chat was buzzing with discussion, and the live stream was incredibly lively.
Soon, the position change was completed, and the coach finished giving instructions for the final 30 seconds before leaving the stage.
Jiangxia walked confidently to the center of the stage.
Fly stared at his colleague, who was five years younger than him.
He didn't understand either. Twenty is the age to strive for success. If you have that key to getting things done, why choose to become a coach?
If Jiang Xia knew what he was thinking.
I will definitely answer him seriously.
Since so many retired athletes have become coaches, wouldn't it be better for me to become a coach directly and avoid taking a few detours?
The lineups for both sides are as follows:
RNG (Blue) Kennen, Lee Sin, LeBlanc, Jinx and Thresh in the bot lane.
LGD (Red) team: Jayce, Jarvan IV, Orianna, Lucian and Alistar in the bot lane.
