There is a one-week offseason after the quarter-finals, and the four teams that entered the semi-finals are all scheduled for training matches at this time.
Of course, in order to prevent the tactics from being leaked, opponents in the semi-finals generally do not schedule training matches with each other, but instead invite teams from the other half of the region.
KT, DWG and G2 in the bottom half have all had training matches respectively, and the results are quite optimistic, with a very high winning rate.
However, everyone did not relax, after all, the results of the training matches really cannot mean too much.
There are too many teams that are aggressive in the training matches and in the main match.
TSM, who had been invincible in training matches before, claimed to be able to beat any team, even SKT at its peak. They could give it a try. As a result, TSM started to do acrobatics as soon as the main game came, and they were flat in the group stage for several years in a row.
Later, RNG was said to have won more than 40 consecutive games in training matches, and ended up in the top eight of the S competition.
Including last year's SKT, they were also known as invincible in training matches. Liu Qingsong later said in the live broadcast that they could not beat SKT in training matches. They originally thought that they would lose if they met SKT in the finals.
Everyone knows the result. SKT, which was invincible in the training matches, was fired by Happy Team G2 and did not even make it to the finals.
Each training match war god used his or her own painful experience to tell everyone an ironclad fact: training match results cannot be trusted, and you will lose if you take it seriously!
Learning from the past is there, KT did not underestimate any opponent, and did not forget to spend time on tactical analysis after training matches.
The opponent’s jungler’s early dynamic tendencies, eye positioning habits, and supporting roaming habits...
These data often require a lot of video analysis. The coaching staff’s job is actually no easier than that of the players. The coaching team compiles the key data and the players only need to spend some time receiving key information after training.
Of course, no matter how perfect the tactical preparations are, it will be useless if the players' condition is poor. After training matches, KT players mostly stay in their respective RANKs to maintain their feel.
October 21st, 7:30 pm.
Lin Cheng is immersed in RANK in the hotel room.
Huya, Wanwan live broadcast room.
“There’s still one round left! In the next round, Brother Orange will reach the top of the canyon! It’s really awesome!”
Wanwan looked at the OB screen excitedly, just as Lin Cheng's opponent's base exploded.
“The good-looking Raven can actually be a master of Counter.”
“Brother Chengzi, this is too fierce. Little Chaomeng was crushed to pieces.”
“This top score speed is really terrifying, it’s like a monster.”
“That is to say, the super number has more points, otherwise it would not be able to increase the points so quickly.”
Wanwan was not happy when I saw the barrage saying something different, "Do you understand the value of the 87% winning rate of the Canyon Top Super account? He has been ranked as the thousand-point king since the qualifying round. I think it is better for Brother Chengzi."
A more normal teammate might even have a 90% winning rate."
“Classics are valuable, Brother Long has something to say.”
“Then I’m going to tell you the story of the first king of S6.”
“It’s sad! Wanwan’s butt is so crooked.”
“We are just on the same team as you, Brother Chengzi is just an outsider.”
“Calm down later! It’s not like you reached the top of the canyon.”
“What a pity! Wanwan doesn’t have the chance to officially commentate on the game, otherwise she won’t be able to fight against the big school when KT plays GEN·G?”
“There is a picture.“
The number of barrages is extremely exaggerated.
During her time in OB Lin Cheng's RANK, Wanwan can be said to be the most popular anchor on Huya. She often interacts with Lin Cheng, which is much more interesting than just OB.
Many people came here with the mentality of learning the operation at first. However, when faced with Lin Cheng’s operation, they only sighed, "I have failed in learning", and found that Wanwan’s appearance is better.
Wanwan didn’t take it seriously after seeing the ridicule on the barrage, and sent a message to Lin Cheng on the chat interface.
Wanwan doesn’t eat chili: Brother Chengzi, are you still going to continue? Sally just lost again, if you win one more, you will reach the top.
During this period, due to slightly more RANK, Lin Cheng has reached the second position at the top of the canyon, with a RANK score of 1927.
There is only a 9-point gap from Sally, who is ranked first at the top of the canyon.
That's right! Before Lin Cheng could hit 2000 points, Sally fell off by herself and now only has 1936 points.
Although Lin Cheng is very good, his RANK number is almost at the bottom among all players, but his winning rate is too exaggerated.
At the top of the canyon, holding the tiger's teeth, Wanwan's vest only played 121 games, but he won 106 games, with a winning rate of a terrifying 87%.
121 games but over 1900 win points, which is beyond the reach of all the unique players at the top of the canyon.
Furthermore, Lin Cheng won a large number of MVPs in the games he won, which is rare in the current version.
Generally speaking, the best C position in this version is the jungle, followed by the mid laner and then the top laner. No one is dissatisfied with Lin Cheng's ability to score crazy points in the top lane position.
Of course, the most difficult position to get points at the moment is AD. No one can play this position, and many professional teams’ ADs don’t have high scores at the top of the canyon.
AD is now the Warrior's RBQ, and the rhythm of the top of the canyon is too fast. It is difficult for AD to take over the game if it is always fighting.
Including DWG’s mid laner Showmaker, he was not able to adapt to the rhythm at the top of the canyon at the beginning. The unique skills of his brothers were not allowed to fight all the time. Xu Xiu’s mentality was shattered and he ran away to the Korean server overnight.
However, as a high-ping warrior in the Korean server in China, he still couldn't play the game. Xu Xiu had to adapt to the rhythm of the top of the canyon and finally hit the thousand-point king.
In fact, except for Lin Cheng, there are almost no players in the other top four teams with less RANK than him. However, except for Canyon, which is slightly closer, the other players' scores are far lower than Lin Cheng's, and Cayon has played more games than Lin Cheng.
More than a hundred games.
Hmm~ The reason why I say there are almost useless beings with less RANK than Lin Cheng is because there is another guy who is even worse than Lin Cheng.
DWG’s support player Beryl has played less than 40 RANK games so far. Even the teams that were eliminated in the play-in rounds did not have less RANK than this guy.
Beryl also doesn’t play League of Legends when he’s live streaming. His live broadcast content is basically Genshin Impact and mobile games. It can be seen that he separates work and life very well.
After seeing Wan Wan’s message, Lin Cheng, who was originally planning to take a rest, thought about it and started typing a reply.
Huya, Wanwan: continue.
No chili pepper in the evening: Have you eaten all afternoon? How about you go and eat first?
Huya, Wanwan: I’m not hungry yet, I’ll fight first and win first.
Wanwan won’t eat chili pepper: It doesn’t matter! We are not in a hurry, you go to eat first, we can wait.
As soon as Wanwan typed this sentence, the live broadcast room was already filled with howling ghosts and wolves.
“Damn! I’m in a hurry! Who said I’m not in a hurry?”
“Wanwan, I advise you not to go too far! Who said we can wait?”
“Girls are outgoing, Wanwan, we are your family.”
“What kind of family? Wanwan doesn’t even want to call her brother, she calls her fans friends.”
"Haha! I quite like Wanwan. Other female anchors are all called "old brothers". Wanwan is really a breath of fresh air."
“In Wanwan’s eyes, we are just tools, but Brother Chengzi is our true love.”
“Woohoo~ Wanwan is really devoted to Brother Chengzi, I cried to death.”
