The opponents in the subsequent training match were players from KT’s own second team.
The main reason is that other teams in the LCK have just received their vacation and may not have time, while the teams in the LPL are still on vacation.
Probably because they just celebrated the Spring Festival and haven't recovered yet, KT actually got into a big brawl with their younger brother. The scene made Kang Dongxun's head hurt.
Using a lineup that had little combat effectiveness in the early stage, they fought like crazy against their opponents. Each of the five KT brothers became as irritable as if they had eaten gunpowder.
The scene seemed to be going back and forth.
Although they are on the second team, these young players still have good basic skills, and most of them are the kings of the Korean server.
And they also have competition experience.
Starting this year, LCK has created a new secondary league, LCKCL, which is the Challenger League.
Each LCK team must build its own second team to participate in the challenge league, and try to allow its youth training players of the right age to start adapting to the professional arena as early as possible, unlike the previous youth training players who had to struggle on the bench even when they reached age.
Waiting for the opportunity at the table.
Second-team players who perform well in the Challenger League can be directly promoted to participate in LCK events, which gives young players more incentives.
The second teams of each club are not necessarily all youth players. There are also some players who have retired from the LCK. Their presence actually allows the young players to improve faster.
Although the LPL and LDL have similar communication channels, the development of South Korea's secondary league is much better than that of the LDL, and it is difficult for players to be forced to play match-fixing.
The Korean e-sports circle, which has a complete professional e-sports system, has this understanding: the talent pool of the secondary league is the next generation of the LCK.
With the efforts of Riot Korea, the Korean Minor League is undoubtedly the best-developed League of Legends minor league in the world.
Not only does it have a complete English streaming commentary lineup and production team, it also has a certain degree of exposure around the world, and there are dedicated e-sports media to track and report on the Korean secondary leagues.
Moreover, in addition to the secondary leagues, youth training players who are not old enough to play professionally also have special youth training events where they can compete against other youth training players or amateur players.
Zeus and Oner, who are on T1's ten-man roster this year, were once the best performers in the youth training competition.
Zeus was praised to the sky before even playing a single LCK game, mainly due to the exposure of the Korean youth training.
In this way, South Korea's League of Legends has actually formed multiple gradient competition systems.
When players enter youth training, they can participate in amateur events even if they are not old enough to play. When they are old enough, they can participate in more formal competitions to improve themselves step by step.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the Premier League, it is obvious that the Korean fist hopes to cultivate new talents through more second- and even third-level competitions.
Although it seems that there are only ten teams in the LCK, South Korea's small population can continue to send talents to other leagues. Their perfect e-sports system actually contributes a lot.
In terms of talent alone, how can Korean e-sports geniuses compare with such a large base of Chinese e-sports players?
The overall strength of the players on the second team of KT was not bad, and they were able to go back and forth in the big brawl with the big brother of the first team, but as the five KT brothers calmed down, the scene changed.
Lin Cheng no longer rushed forward with a bunch of hard control, and the Little Death no longer led Mr. Dai away. The situation soon turned to KT.
The rules of the game began to appear. The players from KT's second team, who had been going back and forth just now, found themselves unable to beat them after five minutes.
The coaching staff watching the game saw it most clearly.
After KT began to combine operational resources with small-scale support battles, the experience and tactical literacy of KT's second team players became obviously insufficient.
As long as KT takes the initiative, they will definitely take advantage in the fight and their support will be faster than their opponents.
If KT avoids the battle head-on, the other side will definitely be able to plunder resources.
In just a few minutes, KT widened the economic gap, and then the snowball snowballed.
The players of the second team began to face almost suffocating pressure and quickly collapsed.
In the next two games, KT didn't give their little brother a chance to have a big fight, and chose to hit hard and knock down their second team. In the third game, Lin Cheng even hit too hard and killed the super god in ten minutes.
These little guys immediately initiated surrender within 15 minutes.
Lin Cheng was still a little unsatisfied. If the players from the second team were not at this base, he would have rushed over and asked them why they wanted to surrender.
You don’t want to continue killing me, do you?
The changes in version 11.3 are not small. Although the subsequent training matches were one-sided, it was enough for everyone to have a more intuitive understanding of the impact of some changes.
The overall impact of the weakening of Blood Thirst and Bloody Hand is not bad. Some heroes that should be played by warrior heroes are still available, but it has a relatively large impact on the priority of heroes in the jungle position.
Especially small peanuts are often used by Olaf.
In this version, Olaf's basic health has been reduced by 22 points, and his passive growth has been reduced from 0-100% to 0-70%. In addition, the thirst for blood and the blood hand have been weakened. It is obvious that Olaf is far from the previous non-BAN necessary
Choose such a high priority.
However, it cannot be said that Olaf was kicked out of the game directly. It depends on everyone's understanding in the future.
In the previous version of T0, the jungler Rock Bird was also slashed in 11.3. The designer found that this hero cleared the jungle too quickly, so he directly targeted the lifeline and slashed the Q skill to deal damage to wild monsters.
Another jungler that has been weakened is Udyr. The damage range of Fire Phoenix Stance has been slightly cut.
To be honest, before this year, no one would have thought that a hero like Udyr, who could not be found in the sewers, could be nerfed. The mythical version has really brought many heroes back to life.
Of course, the main reason why Udyr is so powerful and disgusting in the game is because of the existence of the Turbo Alchemy Pot. Once the Turbo Alchemy Pot is hit, Udyr will almost be gone.
Looking at these changes, KT’s analyst team is actually a little confused.
Heroes such as Udyr, Olaf, and Rockbird have been weakened. Aren't the priorities of previously popular wild core heroes such as Leopard Girl, Male Spear, and Lilia being raised again?
In addition to the fact that Udyr, who is very good at jungle core heroes, is not significantly weakened, isn't it equivalent to returning to the previous jungle core hero selection?
What about weakening wild cores as promised?
There has been news that Riot Games is going to cut off wild cores for a long time, but it has yet to find the key point.
The characteristic of wild core heroes is that they can clear the jungle quickly, and many functional and rhythmic junglers have been completely squeezed out of the playing space.
Compared with other junglers, the fault tolerance rate is too low.
After all, it is useful for wild core heroes to immerse themselves in grinding.
It can be said that in the entire S10 last year, except for Lin Cheng's teammate Bono, there was no non-jungle jungler who performed very well.
Bono was able to play because KT was too strong online at that time. In Lin Cheng's reverse version, he used C wildly on the top lane, leaving all opponents helpless.
This year, due to major changes in equipment, some heroes other than jungle cores have gradually appeared, but the power of jungle core play is still the same, even more powerful than in S10.
After last year, it is obvious that the whole world will start to focus on studying Lin Cheng.
Will it be much more difficult for KT to go to the World Championship and play the game against the version than last year? KT’s coaching staff can’t say what kind of reaction Lin Cheng will receive if he goes to the World Championship this year.
However, fortunately, Peanut is better at wildcore than Bono last year.
I'm not called "Little Brush Student" for nothing.
This gives KT more playstyle options. If it is still the wild core version, at least when Lin Cheng and other online players are targeted, KT will be able to come up with PlanB.
