With the Reddit forum announced by netizens to be renamed League of Cheng, the praise for Lin Cheng here has reached a new height.
European handsome boys are enjoying themselves, and rumors about Lin Cheng joining the Barcelona e-sports division are spreading widely.
Some time ago, a clip of Lin Cheng playing football during KT team building was also released by the club, and it immediately became popular.
Damn it! God really knows how to play football?
With this sense of touch and skills, if he were six or seven years younger, maybe a football club would actually come to poach him, right?
The European audience is indeed very divergent in thinking, and the topic direction gradually deviates from the track.
After a few days of free ranking, the players regained their touch and gained their own understanding of this version. Kang Dongxun began to arrange training matches.
KT's title of "Friends of the Wild Card" is well known to everyone, and UOL, who had already arranged for a training match during MSI, was the first to send out an invitation to the training match.
Kang Dongxun still accepted it happily.
It's still the same idea. With Lin Cheng's presence, KT has almost a natural advantage even if it competes with the strong teams in LPL and LCK. It doesn't make a big difference to KT who they play training games with.
KT's tactic of opening up the situation on the road and linking up the entire field has been ingrained in KT's bones. As long as no team can suppress Lin Cheng, KT's tactic will be almost invincible.
The whole world knows my fighting style, but you just can't beat me!
This is true when playing training matches against teams from major competition areas, and it is still the same when playing training matches against wildcard teams.
In this case, every time you play a training match with an opponent from a major competition area, you are giving your opponent a chance to study Lin Cheng, so why not get to know more teams that you have never been in contact with?
Although the wild card teams are not strong, their playing styles are completely different from those in the major competitions, so they can often find something of their own unique style.
Although they may not all be useful, they may not have their merits either.
KT has liked to steal things from their wild card brothers since last year. In addition to the integration of waist and horse in last year's World Championship, including the three-return lineup they used in the summer competition, they have produced good results.
In the training match against UOL, KT easily crushed their opponents.
Players from both sides have been interacting with each other throughout the game. In the first training match, KT did not steal any black technology routines. Instead, they had a meal date with the UOL players.
Then KT played a training match with EDG to prepare for the intensity.
It's a pity that the intensity is improved, but it doesn't seem to be enough.
Lin Cheng's attack was a bit harsh and he defeated Holy Spear Brother in three consecutive rounds.
In the first game, Brother Holy Spear chose the crocodile and wanted to fight Lin Cheng on the bayonet.
This year, Holy Gun Brother Crocodile performed very well in the LPL. Although the mechanism of his W skill was weakened, he still wanted to use Crocodile to test Lin Cheng's strength.
In the end, Brother Holy Spear didn't hold back and let Lin Chengseti beat him into a toy crocodile.
In the next two games, Holy Spear Brother chose Wine Barrel and Ornn respectively to stabilize the lane.
But when I actually entered the game, I realized that it’s not that easy to mix.
The more cowardly you are, the more arrogant Lin Cheng becomes, hitting him and calling him "Little Peanut" to completely disconnect Brother Holy Gun.
Other teams may not want to help when their opponents are weak in the top lane, but KT is different. Anyway, Lin Cheng will help wherever his teammates are.
It may be that EDG has never faced a team with such a strong top laner in the LPL, and they still stubbornly focus their tactics on the bottom half.
As a result, he didn't have a clear advantage in the bottom lane, so he took advantage of the top lane to support his father.
Then they entered the team battle, and Lin Cheng killed AD, which EDG had been raising for a long time, like a pig.
The result of the first training match put a lot of pressure on the EDG coaching staff.
Their goal is to win the championship, so they must consider the situation they may encounter with KT in the future.
Although it is not a top priority now, it is obvious that we must find a way to stabilize the Holy Spear brother on the road.
It's not okay to just support your father like you are today.
It is said that Mr. Dai likes to kill suddenly, but when KT was penetrated in the bottom lane this year, he actually did not give many chances.
Lin Cheng had resisted the pressure, and Mr. Dai knew that he could win without giving away randomly. In this way, without the burden on his heart, he took advantage of his experience and rarely died suddenly. He was completely different from the South Korean pilot in his impression.
On the contrary, Meiquan saw that her ex was a little uncontrollable, and she frantically wanted to find Mr. Dai to talk to him, but she was given opportunities one after another.
In the next few days, Kang Dongxun made several appointments to play training matches.
Lin Cheng continued his lifestyle of ranking in the morning for training matches in the afternoon and having a bad time at night.
Hmm~~~ It can’t be called showing off, it should be called studying the competitors’ tactical ideas.
Judging from the results of training matches and RANK feedback, as well as Lin Cheng's research, the current changes in the canyon ecology are still very large compared to the summer split.
Due to the weakening of Jayce and Crocodile on the top lane, Lin Cheng feels that the choices for this year's World Championship may be very open, and there is no absolute version of the hero.
As for the jungle position, in addition to the regulars in the summer games, the performance of male swordsman and Kiana in RANK has suddenly emerged, and there are also teams making attempts in training matches.
There have been many players practicing Barbarian King in the middle lane recently.
It can be said that the strength of these heroes is inseparable from the current version of equipment.
Bloodthirsty Battle Ax.
The resentment effect of this version of the Bloodthirsty Battle Ax is very good. The lower the blood volume, the higher the attack power it provides. The higher the attack power, the stronger the active effect recovery.
This forms a wonderful cycle. Everyone is a vampire, and it is common for people to be full of blood in one second.
Lucian in the bottom lane has become a hero that ADs in various major competitions have been practicing crazily in RANK recently. When paired with Nami's intensity, he is like a supermodel.
Mr. Dai has also practiced a lot of Lucian, and this hero still has the potential to swing for KT.
Although Lucian's explosive power is much less without Nami, Lin Cheng still has enough suppressive power on the top lane when using Lucian.
Of course, whether these characters whose priorities suddenly increased in RANK and training matches are suitable for the competition environment will have to wait until the World Championship begins to test the effect.
Things that are easy to use in RANK may not be suitable for the competition, and even things that are easy to use in training games may not be easy to use in official games.
On October 4, the morning before the start of the qualifying round, Lin Cheng scored 1,400 points and broke into the top ten of the European server.
Lin Cheng spent a total of 73 games from the qualifying round to reaching 1,400 points in the championship. He only lost 6 of them, with a winning rate of nearly 92%.
Many people began to speculate when Lin Cheng would reach the top.
The year before last, Nuguri played 120 games in the European server and reached second place in the European server, with a winning rate of only 75%. Lin Cheng's scoring momentum was obviously much stronger. From the outside, it seemed that European server players could no longer stop Lin Cheng from reaching the top.
Except for Lin Cheng, only one player from the outer divisions who participated in S11 reached the European server champion.
That is EDG's substitute jungler Junjia. He just happened to be promoted to the king today with 83 wins and 38 losses.
This shows how high Lin Cheng’s RANK is.
The first king has just been born among the remaining professional players, and he is already close to reaching the top.
Although Lin Cheng has just broken into the top ten of the European server, his points difference from the previous players is not big. At this time, the first place in the European server is Xiaomai's 1600 points. For Lin Cheng, reaching the top is a matter of winning streak.
