Chapter 304 The only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive
V5?
A new top laner who is almost thirty years old?
This is almost obvious, right?
All the water friends in Jingugu’s live broadcast room were overwhelmed by this big melon, and they rushed to tell each other.
In less than half a day, the news that Brother Bing Xin was a Wolong vest quickly spread to the entire Internet.
"Holy shit, isn't this really an April Fool's joke? Is Wolong actually so fierce?"
"Really? I don't believe it!"
"Good guy, it turns out that the strongest person is already in the formation. I announce that V5 will take off next season!"
"It is worthy of your hand speed and reaction after being single for almost 30 years. Can you promise me that you will continue to be single?"
"Wolong can still insist on such high-intensity training at his age. At the same time, he also has to take care of the daily management of the team. I wonder if other professional players have any reason not to train well?"
"Brother Bing Xin, doesn't the literal translation of 'MyIcyHeart' mean 'my heart is ice'?"
"I was so surprised that my mouth was stuffed with dog food. It turns out that the clown is actually ourselves!"
"嘤嘘嘤! I like Wolong more and more, this man is so damn sweet!"
"I'm so sad! Wolong is handsome, versatile, and has a warm personality. He is devoted to his girlfriend!"
"Other team players: The coach knows the hammer game. His score is higher than mine, so why should he point fingers? V5 team player: Yes, yes, yes, what the coach said is right, whoever gives him the highest score!"
"Wolong, forever a god!"
……
The addition of Wolong has become a major variable for V5, making V5's strength confusing.
Major teams in the LPL, as well as many foreign teams, have all eagerly sent invitations to V5 for training matches, trying to take this opportunity to get a feel for it in advance.
All of a sudden, V5’s training match schedule was so full that it was almost ready for the official start of the summer split.
Training games mostly use the BO3 format. V5 usually has Niu Bao as the top laner. If he wins the game, he will continue to play Niu Bao in the second game. Otherwise, if he loses, Zhuge Liang will take his place.
If Zhuge Liang wins, he will be replaced by Niu Bao in the third game, allowing him to accumulate more experience and speed up his integration with the team.
The reason for this arrangement is that there are almost no obstacles to the cooperation between Zhuge Liang and the team, and his integration speed is so fast that even several other players find it incredible.
On the other hand, given Zhuge Liang's age, it is naturally better to save some time. After all, the season is still long, and he has to make preparations for the tough battles ahead.
Major teams at home and abroad have played training matches with V5, and the conclusions drawn are quite consistent.
Niu Bao's V5 when he played was basically at the level of the LPL playoffs.
The newcomer's top laner stands out as someone who dares to catch and die, and uses the top lane as a breakthrough. It is not difficult to win V5.
However, after replacing Wolong's V5, it can definitely be regarded as a world championship level, and it is an out-and-out championship echelon!
It's not that Wolong's operation is so powerful that it directly improves V5. Wolong's existence is more like a complete activation of the entire V5 team, causing a qualitative change in the entire team!
In particular, V5’s decision-making and operations are impeccable!
The advantage snowballing ability is very strong, and it is rare for mistakes to be overturned.
The ability to seize opportunities from disadvantages is even more terrifying. Even if it is tens of millions ahead of V5, if it is slightly careless, V5 will immediately seize the slightest flaw to counterattack, leaving the game still in suspense.
Unless V5 itself is in poor condition, players are killed during the laning phase, or there are low-level operational errors that are as bad as rice, otherwise it will not be easy to win V5.
SKT, which had a strong dominance at MSI, still had a winning rate of only 73 in the recent training match with V5.
SKT seven, V5 three.
At first glance, it seems that the winning rate is quite high, but what makes everyone in kkoma and even SKT wary is that when SKT played V5 against Wolong, the winning rate was barely more than 60%!
You must know that SKT just lost to RNG in the finals of this MSI, and the reason for the defeat was due to their own cooperation errors, which allowed RNG to score a thrilling point.
To put it bluntly, RNG did not make SKT feel too difficult. Even if they fight a few more times, everyone in SKT is still confident that they will not lose.
However, the current V5 has that kind of threat!
As we all know, during training matches, both sides usually do not reveal all their cards, and the BP is also quite casual.
What Wolong is best at is the endless stream of strange tricks and the design of BP links.
If these factors that affect the outcome are taken into account, SKT is already at risk of overturning, and the probability is not low.
SKT, which had just won a championship, sounded the alarm. This year, SKT is determined to rebuild the glory of the LCK. Their goal is only to win the championship and will not accept any failure.
……
There is only one week left before the start of the summer split, and the official LPL promotional video for the new season has been released.
Although the official has the idea of continuing to play with balance, Wolong’s traffic is just too good!
No matter how you say it, the head coach is nothing more than a behind-the-scenes worker, and his exposure and traffic are far less than those of the players.
Only Zhuge Liang is an outlier. As a head coach, he has the same buzz and attention as top players.
Zhuge Liang's debut as a player this season is an unprecedented first in the league. Now I don't know how many viewers are looking forward to Zhuge Liang's performance on the field.
The most intuitive reflection is the number of subscribers to the new season's V5 schedule. It has doubled or tripled compared to last season, which is outrageous!
This kind of exaggerated popularity that is visible to the naked eye is naturally appropriate for LPL officials. The C position of this promotional video is all given to Zhuge Liang.
The major official commentators also cooperated and started to build momentum.
Miller: "For this transfer period, I think V5's rating is S, the only one!"
Wawa: "Wolong is so awesome, it's almost No. 1 in the Korean server now."
Remember: "The mighty Tianlong, Wuhu, take off!"
Colonel Guan: "The only drawback of expensive things is that they are expensive! But expensiveness is not his problem, but your problem!"
Changmao: "I bought Wolong with V5 this year, and it smells so good!"
Hao Kai: "I wonder if the major teams will prepare a welcome ceremony for Wolong to come to the LPL?"
Rita: "I, a die-hard V5 fan for ten years, go for it!"
The opening game of the summer split is a repeat of the spring finals.
V5 versus RNG!
Although RNG suffered a defeat at MSI, RNG, which maintains its spring championship team, will still be one of the most anticipated teams this summer.
Even judging from the real-time support rate on the Internet, the number of people who think RNG can win the game is especially higher than that of V5.
To put it bluntly, although the popularity of Wolong's top laner's debut was high, most of them were passers-by watching the excitement.
The gap between the head coach and the players is too big. Even if Wolong has proven himself in the Korean server rank, a strong rank does not mean that the game is equally strong.
Furthermore, LPL has always had a fine tradition of welcoming newcomers to the lane.
When Wolong undergoes high-intensity military training that is rarely encountered in rank games, can he still hold his own?
