Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-Three [Contradiction Preliminary]
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Hello, hello..."
As soon as he put down the suitcase in his hand, Abu immediately greeted everyone in the room.
"We arrived half a day late, thank you both for your hard work." He held Meng Ma's hand with an apologetic smile on his face.
As the head coach of this Asian Games, he should be the first to come over and coordinate the overall situation. However, due to the schedule of the LPL and the fact that the factory director is also one of the team members, he can only take one day to come over.
Meng Ma waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he had done nothing, and then briefly introduced some of the conditions in the training camp.
The factory director and Xiye, who were standing behind Abu, also joined the players.
"Is there any mineral water? I'm dying of thirst." The factory director sneaked up to Su Chen and poked Su Chen with his elbow.
Xiye also said hello to Wu Zi, Xiao Ming and others beside him.
Su Chen was about to turn around and rummage through the box when Xiaotian actively handed a bottle of Yibao to the factory director, still cold.
"Your preparations are quite thoughtful." Su Chen glanced at the garlic bastard, who touched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Thank you, this is a life saver." The factory director took the mineral water, took a sip, and wiped the sweat from his head.
The highest temperature in Shenzhen today was almost 40 degrees. While they were going through the formalities at the door, they basked in the sun for a while and almost melted themselves.
"I, the two assistant coaches, and the analysts will go check out the situation in the training room first. You guys can take a rest first and gather next door at two o'clock in the afternoon. You all know everything." After looking around the room, Abu looked around the room and asked each one one by one.
I checked it with my eyes.
After saying that, he put down his luggage and walked out of the room with Mengma, Hart, and three analysts.
The factory director also picked up the key and entered the next room with Xiye.
At noon, Su Chen took everyone back to the cafeteria and had lunch together.
It's still the same buffet style, and the dishes are quite rich. In addition, it also comes with some iced bayberry juice.
Thanks to the dual rescue of air conditioning and cold drinks, the newly arrived factory director and Xiye also temporarily recovered from the high temperature in Shenzhen.
Several people gathered around a table, chatting while eating.
After all, they are all old acquaintances of lpl. Because of the relationship with 957, Xiye had known Su Chen before, so he was not cautious.
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
After lunch, Su Chen returned to the room and took a hot shower. After taking a nap for an hour, he took Xiaotian to the training room on the second floor.
Pushing open the ajar door of the hotel room, the cool air hit my face.
In a large single room of about 60 square meters, six computers are lined up in the center of the room.
In addition, there are three computers scattered in the corner of the room. One of them has a fish screen with three screens spliced together, which should be used by analysts.
The ground is densely covered with lines of various colors, and cardboard boxes and foam left over from unpacked computers are piled in the corner.
"It's a bit shabby, but we have cleaned up the area for your players. I will ask the cleaning lady to help clean it tonight. Let's sit down and test the equipment first. I have downloaded lol." Abu wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.
of sweat.
Mengma and Hart were also checking other equipment.
"Thank you for your hard work." Su Chen said sincerely.
They all came all the way here. The players at least have time to rest at noon, but the coaching staff is still working hard here, which is really not easy.
"It's okay, it's okay. You can take your seats first. At three o'clock, we will play a training match with edg to practice our skills. Everyone will first get familiar with the feeling of playing together, and then we will slowly adjust the version and play style.
"Abu waved his hands repeatedly, signaling the players to take their seats quickly.
According to the usual positions during competitions, Su Chen sat on the far left, Xiaotian sat next to him, and then the factory director.
The equipment is all configured according to the specifications of this Asian Games.
The mouse and keyboard are both Razer series, and the headset is the e-sports professional version of Hyperx Cloud, which is slightly higher configuration than the headset used in the LPL regular season.
This kind of headset is mainly suitable for games such as CSGO that have relatively high sound quality requirements. Players need to make judgments based on the sound of gunshots, footsteps and even the breathing of the characters.
lol's requirements are not that high, but it is definitely more comfortable to use.
Su Chen is usually accustomed to the Logitech series of mice, and the most commonly used keyboard is the Corsair K95 series.
However, the difference is not too big, it will be fine after a few games to get used to it.
While the players were checking their equipment, Abu also sent the account numbers for the competition to the players one by one.
All the IDs have been modified. After Su Chen logged in to lol, he saw the changed ID——chn jkd.
All heroes and all skins.
"We checked the pin value at noon. The national server has 22 pins. We haven't had time to download the cold server yet. We'll check again in the evening." Abu explained.
Seeing that the players had all logged into their accounts, he also made a call to the edg base to prepare for the start of the training match.
"Since the jungler position is rotated, my idea is that the factory director will go first, and after playing three rounds, Xiaotian will be replaced. It should be fine." Abu looked at Xiaotian.
"Uh...I can do that." Xiaotian nodded repeatedly without any objection.
Among the six players in the room, he was the least senior, so naturally he had no say. Moreover, he himself did not like to compete, so there was no problem in letting the factory director go first.
"Then you and Su Chen can change seats, and you can use this seat in the next few days," Abu said.
"OK." Xiao Tian stood up quickly, logged out of his account, and changed places with Su Chen.
In this way, Su Chen's left hand was Xiaotian, and his right hand was the factory director's rank. He had a vague feeling that something was strange.
The first five people logged in to their accounts and put on their headphones.
Abramovich asked the edg team to create a custom room and pulled the players in one by one.
The lineup on edg's side is still top laner Huni, jungler Peanut, mid laner Scout, and bottom laner iboymeiko.
Abramovich also specifically asked Meng Ma and Hart to help the other side do BP in order to collect more complete ideas.
"When you're ready, I'll call someone to open it." Abu looked at the factory director.
The latter made an OK gesture.
With a "bang" sound, the bp interface popped up on all five computers.
In the first game, the Asian Games team was placed on the blue side.
"You can enter the game and put on your headphones. It seems like you can't hear what I'm saying on the mic." Abu said awkwardly.
After everyone took off their headphones, Abu also started to think about his own bp.
Because edg is not the opponent of the Asian Games team, the starting point of Abramovich's ban strategy is not to contain the opponent's strong heroes, but to ensure his side's line-up, or to restrain his own lineup.
In the first three ban positions, Abu banned Qinggangying, Yanque, and Enchantress one by one.
On the other side, Meng Ma banned three ADC heroes, Kai'Sa, ez, and Xayah.
"I'll go, it's true..." Uzi was a little dazed when he saw this ban.
Before starting the game, he cracked his knuckles in a fighting spirit, thinking about how to kill randomly when he got in.
Unexpectedly, I was targeted first when I came up.
"Don't worry about it." Abu nodded towards Meng Ma and Hart on the other side of the room, and then began to make arrangements for the selection.
When there are not many ADs, the blue side’s first choice decides to grab a wheel mother first.
After the opponent also locked the bottom lane combination, Abu then locked the midfield combination. Xiye took the card, and the director chose Nightmare.
The standard six-level bot lane four-for-two playstyle.
The heroes of Su Chen and Xiao Ming were placed in the second round.
When Sword Lady and Ornn were double-banned, Abu finally locked Crocodile after asking Su Chen for his opinion.
Xiao Ming took out Thresh.
Final lineups for both sides:
Blue square chn: top laner Crocodile, jungler nightmare, midlane card, bottom lane wheel mother Thresh
Red square edg: top laner Captain, jungler Kindred, midlane Galio, bottom lane Lucian Titan
After locking in the heroes, several players who were still laughing and joking gradually calmed down and entered the state of the game.
"This lineup... At level one, I want Lan Kai to go down. Kindred is not easy to catch people in the early stage. I can come to the bottom lane and counter-crouch at level four. If their Titan hooks up, they will have a chance to kill." The factory director stared.
Look at the screen and take the initiative to express your thoughts.
"Okay, their Lucian Titans are definitely not shy online." Uzi nodded repeatedly.
"If we go on the road, we will definitely not be able to get there before the sixth level of the middle and jungle. Please be careful that Qian Juehong on the opposite side uses the second level to go around." The director turned to look at Su Chen again.
"No problem, I can withstand the pressure in the early stage." Su Chen said calmly.
"OKok, as long as there are no problems before level 6, we can just start a rhythm in the bottom lane. Remember to check my position with the cards." The factory director nodded repeatedly.
He holds the position of commander more often in edg, and in addition, the lineup that Abu plays is a map control lineup that he is more accustomed to, so the factory director also naturally laid out his ideas.
Soon, the loading ended, and Summoner's Rift appeared on the screens of the five people.
At the beginning, Xiao Ming controlled Thresh to guard the river in the lower half, and came face to face with Meiko's Titan. The two exchanged looks, but did not make any move.
In the upper half of the area, Kindred and Galio tried to enter the blue zone of CHN, but they gave up decisively after seeing the crocodile in the grass and the wild card lighting up above the card.
At 1 minute and 30 seconds, the director controlled the nightmare and chose blue.
Su Chen's crocodile was guarding the grass in the river, waiting for the health of the three front row soldiers to be almost exhausted, and then the crocodile stepped forward and took it down with a Q skill.
The captain of huni was also rude and used the Q skill of the Immortal Grip to bounce off the crocodile, losing half of its health.
But in this game, Su Chen's crocodile chose Dolan Shield, and the talent was double recovery, so the blood regeneration was relatively fast.
Before Level 3, several roads were relatively calm and no disputes broke out.
Xiaotian also stood up from his position and stood behind the players with several analysts, watching the movements on the five screens one by one.
The room echoed with the intensive clicking sounds of mouse and keyboard.
After getting double buffs, finishing the first group of stone beetles, and reaching level four.
The factory director controlled Nightmare to squat in the grass on the bottom lane.
At this time, the military line is just across the river and closer to the red side's defense tower.
After the wheel mother threw the flywheel, Lucian slid up with two guns, and the bullets hit the wheel mother.
"Hook him, hook him!" the factory director immediately shouted.
Xiao Ming threw out the hook, hung it on the waiting Titan, and then threw the lantern behind him.
Nightmare immediately rushed forward, and the three of them successfully forced out the Titan's flash.
"It's okay, it's okay. We can go back after pushing the line this time." Uzi nodded with satisfaction.
Killing the flash of the opponent's support and gaining lane rights at the same time, for the bottom lane, even if there is no kill, the lane is very comfortable.
"Can you get me a little dragon?" After looking at the map, the factory director decided to take the first elemental dragon, the fire dragon.
"Go ahead, I have to go back after clearing this wave of lines." Uzi commanded.
Xiao Ming had no objection, Thresh followed Nightmare, and the two began to move the fire dragon.
But without the help of the wheel mother, the speed of brushing the dragon is a bit slow.
When the Fire Dragon had about half of its health left, Little Peanut's Kindred emerged from the shadows of the opposite jungle area.
At the same time, after Galio, the scout in the middle, returned to the city, he also paid TP in advance and rushed to the vicinity of the dragon pit.
Nightmare and Thresh were forced to withdraw from the dragon pit, but Kindred on the opposite side successfully took over and captured the first dragon.
Su Chen, who was on the road to face the captain, was a little surprised when he saw Qian Jue jumping out of the canyon and accepting Xiaolong's prompt.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"It's a bit slow. It would be nice if the wheel mother came over to help." The factory director scratched his cheek and frowned slightly.
"My wave line must be pushed forward. Look at Qian Jue's position on the opposite side. Brother, this wave dragon is not very stable." Uzi also said immediately.
"The key is the fire dragon... I think we can still fight it," the factory director emphasized.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Su Chen felt that something was obviously wrong in the atmosphere. He raised his head and looked at Abu, who also looked left and right, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay. We have lane rights in the bottom lane at level 6, so we can still guarantee it." Xiao Ming quickly tried to smooth things over.
Although Uzi was strong, he also knew that this was not RNG, so he didn't say any more.
But the differences between the two are just a microcosm of this training match.
At seven and a half minutes, chn launched a wave of four-pack-two in the bottom lane according to the plan.
However, the captain's ultimate support on the top lane, coupled with the appearance of Galio's hero, made CHN's tower jump extremely difficult.
The Factory Director, who entered the battlefield with his ultimate move, failed to kill Meiko's Titan instantly. Instead, he managed to flash himself and almost lost his life.
Thresh, who replaced Xiao Ming who carried the tower, was killed by Lucian's bullet.
On the other side, Su Chen, who was on the road, encountered Qian Jue's tower jump.
Crocodile was forced to give up a large wave of towers and attack, and after returning to the city, he handed over TP and went online again.
Edg seized this opportunity. At nine minutes, before the Crocodile TP had cooled down, Galio took the initiative to swim down and cooperated with Titan's ultimate move, once again catching Xiao Ming's Thresh to death.
The factory director wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to capture the Rift Pioneer, but the arrival of Kindred and the top captain's pressing status forced him to give up.
CHN chose a midfielder lineup that could control the map, but lost both dragon and vanguard in the early stage, losing half of the situation.
The long development time of Wheel Mom and Su Chen's Crocodile's constant resistance to pressure on the road caused CHN to lose the key team battle of the second dragon in 12 minutes.
Edg took advantage of the situation and controlled the rhythm. After Meiko's Titan wandered in the middle and flashed his ultimate move to catch Xiye's card, Kindred rushed to put down the Canyon Herald and knocked down the middle tower.
The situation of chn is showing an irreversible downward trend.
At 24 minutes, two highlands were demolished, the economy fell behind by up to 8,000, and Xiye's card died again.
Abramovich also saw that there was no hope of a comeback and took the initiative to stop the training match.
