In the end, Lin Cheng and Chovy’s mid-lane SOLO won 2:1 with Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng won the first round with first blood.
In the second game, Lin Cheng failed to jump over the tower, and Chovy won with a counterattack.
In the third game, both sides became cautious.
When neither hero was easy to kill, they were able to hit very hard with last hits, but Lin Cheng had a slight advantage in pushing the lane and reached 100 knives first, winning the victory.
Some viewers carefully counted and found that Lin Cheng never missed a move even when he frequently took the initiative to find opportunities to exchange blood, while Chovy rarely missed a move even if he was pushed out of the lane.
The basic skills of both parties stand out as being solid.
KT fans are very satisfied with this result.
Evenly matched opponents.
Strictly speaking, Lin Cheng in the middle lane is still not as comfortable as a fish in water in the top lane.
The short center line makes it difficult to crush the opponent. In the second game, Lin Cheng pressed too hard and impulsively jumped the tower and suffered a loss.
However, Lin Cheng still recognizes Chovy's laning ability, and it's really impressive that he can last in Cheng's hands for so long.
Fortunately, I am more skilled.
After watching the two's solo, Xiaohuahua came to Lin Cheng for a duel with itchy hands.
As a result, Lin Cheng easily completed the sweep with a ruthless 2:0.
After all, Peanut is a jungler, and his laning ability is much worse than that of online players.
After the fight, Lin Cheng also wanted to make fun of him.
"Wang Hao! Someone in the live broadcast room said before that you are very good at solo, but I still disagree. It turns out that you are really good at it."
Little Peanut fired back: "In my previous life, Brother Heng said you were in need of a spanking, but I didn't understand. It turns out you really are."
Lin Cheng: "... Damn it! Li Shiheng is hacking me behind my back again."
Mr. Dai: "Do you still need to be black? Don't you think you have a good reputation?"
Lin Cheng: "???"
Is not it?
The three people began to argue with each other, and Effort hid in the corner and began to mutter:
"Fight, fight, fight."
The operation lady couldn't help but chuckle. A group of people made the live broadcast room more lively than a cross talk station.
After the live broadcast, Lin Cheng treated some guests to takeout in the evening, and several people gathered for dinner in the hall on the third floor of the base.
A month ago, Lin Cheng had a dinner here with his old teammates, and a month later, he had a dinner here with his new teammates. Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
There is always a banquet in the world, and there are always new guests at the table. This is probably life.
In the next few days, the new teammates all moved into the base. While they were training, Kang Dongxun began to contact training matches to prepare for the Kespa Cup after the All-Star Game.
However, KT's state at the beginning of the pre-season training match obviously did not meet the expectations of the outside world. They did not look as strong as imagined.
First of all, Lin Cheng is not yet accustomed to his teammates' style of play.
The characteristics of Little Peanut are different from those of Bono. This version of Little Peanut is still more inclined to wild cores like Lilia, a male gunner and a leopard girl. He will plan jungle routes that are beneficial to his development to a greater extent, rather than being like Bono.
That way, priority should be given to protecting Lin Cheng and pressing the line.
Chovy is very powerful in the middle lane to suppress the lane, but he is not like the trouser ro who would rather lose the lane to help Lin Cheng establish an advantage.
Effort is not like Tuprivate who would come up early to protect Lin Cheng's vision.
This will lead to a result.
KT's training match opponents will find that Lin Cheng seems to be easier to target now than before.
Last season, opponents found that Lin Cheng could not be targeted at all. In addition to Lin Cheng himself, all KT teammates clearly knew that the top lane was the core, and they were all trying to cover Lin Cheng.
But now Lin Cheng does not receive such comprehensive protection.
These new teammates each have their own customary playing styles in the original team. It's not that they are unwilling to play around Lin Cheng, it's just that it is difficult to change their thinking for the time being.
And there is another question before coach Kang Dongxun:
Who will be the commander of this team?
Although all KT players participated in decision-making last season, the decision-making at the operational level was mainly made by Tu private. This role requires rich experience.
At present, it seems that Kang Dongxun has not found a character similar to Tu private.
Generally speaking, support is best for directing, but Effort lacks a little experience and his ability to read the game is not enough.
Mr. Dai has played the longest and has the most experience, but he has never been one to direct his teammates.
Peanut is relatively the most suitable, but he has just returned from LPL and still clearly has the style of LPL. Many of his conductors Kang Dongxun feel a bit outrageous no matter how they look at it.
Is it too much to ask four teammates to fight for a little peanut?
But aside from Little Peanut, the taciturn Chovy in the game is not a person who can command.
Should we still let Lin Cheng take command?
Generally speaking, the top laner in the game is the position with the lowest participation in the game. When teammates are in a group, the top laner often needs to go to the sidelines. It is obviously not suitable to be the main commander of the team if he is not in front for a long time.
There is no other way, Kang Dongxun can only let Xiao Peanut be the main conductor temporarily, and the other teammates will participate in the decision-making.
It is said that everyone makes decisions together, but in fact Mr. Dai and Chovy rarely speak in the game, and it is mainly Lin Cheng and Effort who help make decisions together.
Compared with the muscle memory-style operation of KT in the past, everyone didn't even need to communicate to know what to do next after destroying a tower. Now KT's operation does seem to be more rigid, and there are no such five people.
A tacit understanding like a machine.
This is also the main reason why the results of the training matches were not very optimistic at first. Sometimes it seemed like everyone was playing their own game.
However, after playing three days of training matches together, we gradually developed a certain tacit understanding and it became clear that KT's performance was much more reasonable than before. Kang Dongxun breathed a sigh of relief silently.
After all, they are all star players. It would be unreasonable to add them together and make more and more money.
They have just played a few training matches, and coach Kang Dongxun believes that as time goes by, the tacit understanding of this group of people can be quickly established.
On December 14, the day before the LCK transfer window closed, Lin Cheng suddenly received a shocking piece of news.
EDG officially announced the director’s return.
Lin Cheng's first thought was: Are you kidding? Are you kidding me? Can the factory director still play games?
However, after reading the comments from netizens online, he suddenly felt that netizens were the ones who had the most insight into the matter.
Obviously, EDG is very dissatisfied with factory director S10's failure as coach to lead EDG to the World Championship.
But for such a meritorious star, EDG can't just kick him as he pleases. They might as well let the factory director come back as an idle substitute.
In fact, it means that the EDG management is not optimistic about the director's ability as a coach and deprived him of his coaching status in disguise.
This is also easy to understand.
Since there are doubts about the factory director's ability to lead the team, the Galaxy Battleship that EDG spent a lot of money to build in the new season naturally cannot be left to the factory director to take the helm.
After all, with so much money invested, it would be funny if Qi Jiang overturned the aircraft carrier.
