In the expectant eyes of countless fans, Li Luo stood in front of the interview seat.
The Thorn Birds won the first game. As the captain, Li Luo couldn't refuse the post-game interview of this BO3.
In front of the camera, Yu Shuangluoluo greeted the audience generously and handed the microphone to Li Luo.
"Hello everyone, I am Shine, the adc player of E...The Thorn Birds."
From the end of the game, Li Luo tried his best to summarize some of the problems his team encountered in these three games and could improve them in the future.
Being a little absent-minded, Li Luo almost made a slip of the tongue when he introduced himself out of habit.
Yu Shuang glanced at Li Luo thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "The Thorn Birds faced the powerful IG in the first battle. I would like to interview player Shine. As the captain of the Thorn Birds, how do you feel at this time?
?”
After calming down, Li Luo answered naturally: "To be honest, IG is indeed very strong. I told my teammates before the game started that this might be a very difficult matchup. At the same time, I also told them that since we
If you are challenging IG as a challenger, there is no need to have too much psychological pressure.”
"It turns out that my teammates did perform better on the spot. The process may be a bit tortuous, but the final winner is us. I am very happy."
Li Luo's answer was very honest.
It's just that what's being discussed at this time, whether it's on site or online, is another issue.
"With tears in my eyes, Brother Luo subconsciously said that he is from EDG. That's why. Although I am a fan of EDG, I will never cheer for EDG when EDG plays the Thorn Birds!"
"When I heard what Brother Luo said, I felt that there must be something fishy during the transfer period. It couldn't be EDG's manager...that man named Li Zhe who sent Brother Luo away, right?"
"Okay, don't ask, Li Zhe definitely has a problem."
"If Brother Luo is still with EDG, EDG will win the championship again, right? Although the new AD is good, I always think he is dull."
"The team of Thorn Birds is still too weak. Although they defeated IG, in the third game, it was purely IG who beat me badly. To be honest, I feel that Thorn Birds can't go far."
There are different opinions on the Internet.
Li Luo didn't know that his subconscious slip of the tongue had caused such huge trouble to Li Zhe.
At this point the interview questions are coming to an end.
As expected, Yu Shuang posed a difficult problem to Li Luo.
The problem is the Thorn Birds' expectations for their performance in the new season.
To be honest, personally, Li Luo doesn't really like this kind of question.
Before his rebirth, Li Luo had seen someone say something and then stop talking.
In fact, in Li Luo's view, this kind of question is not of much significance. If a person's true thoughts are revealed through words, it will actually cause a lot of trouble for him.
And true thoughts are reflected through actual actions, not through words.
Take the most basic desire to win and lose as an example.
Xiangguo said that the purpose of his career is to make money, and he said it very straightforwardly and thoroughly.
But have any trolls ever put the label "I don't want to win the game, so I messed up" on his head?
According to him, if it was purely for money, he would even engage in match-fixing.
But how many people in the professional arena have a stronger desire to win than him?
Therefore, Li Luo has always followed his own rules for looking at people. When looking at people, he never looks at the surface, but only observes the heart.
What people with high emotional intelligence say in front of the public media may not be true.
It is easier to identify his true thoughts from his behavior.
No matter how Li Luo answered this kind of question, he might be caught.
Said the goal is to win the championship?
If the Thorn Birds fail this year, Li Luo, who has accumulated two years of championships and won two consecutive championships, will be instantly swallowed up by those trolls who have been accumulating for a long time.
Do you think reaching the playoffs counts as success?
In that case, Li Luo might really be labeled as someone who doesn't have a strong desire to win and loses after winning two championships.
Both sides are wrong.
So Li Luo chose to throw out the smoke bomb and let everyone guess for themselves.
After making a decision in his mind, Li Luo smiled and said, "Well... this year's goal is of course the same as last year."
As soon as the words fell, commotion broke out on the scene.
Yu Shuang was also thoughtful.
What Li Luo said is too intriguing.
This year’s goal is the same as last year. This sentence can be interpreted from two aspects.
Either Li Luo means that in terms of his own goal, last year he was the world champion, then of course his goal this year is also the world championship, which is also recognized by the public.
But this is the spring split. Is it possible that Li Luo set his goal based on last year's Snake team's results?
Snake made it to the playoffs in the summer split last year. Although the results were not particularly good, they were at least not bad. They were considered to be in the middle or upper reaches of the LPL.
According to a new team, if the goal of the spring split is the playoffs, it seems quite reasonable.
No matter how you interpret it, the interview is finally coming to an end.
Li Luo also breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the backstage lounge, Zuo Wu decided that he would come to treat us today to celebrate the club's first game.
The players in the club were naturally happy to see someone treat someone a treat, and everyone immediately agreed.
It is worth mentioning that the IG team did not seem very depressed. In fact, for strong teams, losing only one BO3 is far from destroying their confidence.
Tonight, IG also followed tradition and went out to eat. Of course, it must not be in the name of celebration. According to Su Xiaoluo, the main purpose of IG tonight was to relieve everyone's psychological pressure.
After all, Li Luo's interview did speak to their hearts.
Jackeylove was depressed the whole time while eating.
He was most touched by Li Luo's interview.
His teammates were actually fine, but he was indeed a little frightened when facing Li Luo.
Today's Thorn Birds are almost completely obscure to IG.
The last training match between IG and the Thorn Birds dates back to when the Thorn Birds were first established.
At that time, the Thorn Birds were completely in disarray. The purpose of the challenge with IG was because Li Luo wanted to give his teammates a good blow and prevent them from relying too much on him.
Facts have proved that after realizing his own strength, the Thorn Birds worked extremely hard in the subsequent training.
Everyone knows clearly that if the results were not good before, then forget about it, but now the two-time world champion AD is in charge of his own team, which is the same as being in charge of a Tongtian belt.
If you still can't live up to expectations even with Tongtian as your guide, there's no need to continue playing professionally.
Therefore, the other players of the Thorn Birds team are training with the purpose of never holding back the team.
During the training process, we discovered that each other was working very hard. In this environment, everyone naturally got together.
"Don't think about it Jack, you did a good job in the first round today. It's just that we can't deal with Ezreal on the Thorn Birds, so we can only kill him. In fact, we didn't lose unjustly in the third round."
Yes, this should be the mainstream signature lineup of the Thorn Birds in the spring split."
Baolan saw that Jack was a little depressed, and immediately spoke to comfort him.
"I know, I'm just thinking about what Brother Luo said. It's true that they are challengers and don't feel much pressure, but I..."
JackeyLove shook his head slightly.
He was actually a little unsure.
Now that the game is over, Jackeylove has a vague feeling that he was under a lot of pressure during the game, but he is not the kind of player who is easily affected by pressure, so JackeyLove is really vague about what happened to him for a while.
.
In the end, I can only blame it on bad luck and trying harder next time.
"Let me tell you, the next time you meet the Thorn Birds, you will think of Brother Luo as...the new AD from EDG! That AD looks quite stupid! You will give yourself psychological hints before the game. It will be very...
It works, you can try it."
King Ning was on hand to make plans.
The atmosphere within the IG team is quite harmonious.
The discussion on the Internet about this opening game was quite heated, but soon, a team took over the heat, directly suppressing the heat of the game between IG and the Thorn Birds.
The creator of this new hotness comes from EDG.
Mingkai started EDG's first game, which is naturally something worth celebrating for the majority of pigs.
However, Mingkai's scorpion after entering the battle set a new output record in his career.
In a game that lasted more than 30 minutes, Mingkai only produced an output of just over 1,600.
In addition, the output of the prince and the pig girl are also relatively low, and the highest one does not exceed 4396.
Of course, EDG won this BO3.
Despite this, Ming Kai's damage still became a hot search topic at a terrifying speed.
The people from the Thorn Birds who were working as melon eaters at the base also witnessed this game with their own eyes.
Xiangguo smashed his mouth and said thoughtfully: "To be honest, I think the damage done by Factory is enough. What damage can he do with a scorpion? Right?"
"Teacher Guo, aren't you paving the way for yourself? Our recent research on the lineup system has included things like scorpions, and you will also be able to play them in the future."
Brother Shengqiang exposed Xiangguo's idea with one word, but Xiangguo said nonchalantly: "Are you kidding? No matter how low my output is, it can't be lower than the scorpion Ming Kai, okay? His damage is too outrageous.
"
…
After the training match that night.
"Yalei, with 1557 points of damage, what can you do to the other side? Ouch, I'm so annoyed."
Xiangguo couldn't help but curse.
This training match lasted only 22 minutes.
Within 22 minutes, although Xiangguo had worked very hard to catch people and set the pace...or in other words, to deal damage, the opponent's vigilance was very high and they did not give Xiangguo a chance at all.
Then after a game, there was such a strange damage number.
Xiangguo's whole body was feeling bad.
He has set a flag, and for this training match Brother Holy Spear gave him all his socks for a month.
At the base, Xiangguo accidentally saw Brother Shengqiang's socks. Those socks could almost stand up.
"Quick, Lao Li, please be fair."
Xiangguo looked at Li Luo eagerly.
Li Luo pondered for two seconds and then said seriously: "To be honest, Xiangguo directly allows the opponent to make three mercury at this time, which is equivalent to an economic lead of 4,000 yuan at the beginning, right? I think Xiangguo's
It’s very useful.”
Before Xiangguo could show joy, Li Luo paused and said with a smile: "But you are betting that you are talking about harm."
"Blank!"
After Xiang Guo was stunned for a short time, his wails rang out in the training room.
…
time flies.
Except for the short offseason due to the Chinese New Year, the LPL spring split schedule is about to pass halfway.
In the process, the Thorn Birds team achieved 6 wins and 1 loss.
This record is undoubtedly excellent, but compared to last year's unbeatable record, that eye-catching loss looks a bit dazzling.
And apart from this loss, the Thorn Birds had all the remaining five wins.
So much so that when the thorn bird is mentioned on the Internet these days, two words are added to it.
covered.
A bird that shuttles on a road full of thorns.
After all, the Thorn Birds' record is too weird, and they feel very unstable when playing against each other.
The losing team was actually LGD, which is currently ranked relatively low in the LPL.
In fact, Li Luo also felt a little confused about the loss in that game. Xiye ate something bad the first day and was a little weak, so the club used substitute mid laner Xiao Dongbei in the second and third games.
Xiaodongbei's second game was extremely strong, and it can be said that he defeated LGD's mid laner.
But the third time he was targeted, he got a little better and sent out key kills in two consecutive waves, and it was the kind that even Li Luola couldn't pull back.
This is also the first time that Li Luo has personally experienced on the field how difficult it is for Xiao Dongbei to be stubborn. However, Li Luo did not criticize Xiao Dongbei after the game. After all, no one is perfect. Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. Use yourself.
There is no need to hold other people to your own standards.
The method Li Luo is good at is, if you have a problem, start with the advantages. If the advantages are big enough to cover up the problem, then dig deeper into the advantages.
But if the problem is too big to be solved, then use other methods, such as substitutes.
Now as Xiye's condition gradually stabilizes, the frequency of training matches between Xiye and Xiaodongbei has reached about 82 starts.
Not beating him to death with a stick is a way for Li Luo, as the captain, to understand his own experience of being on the bench.
However, if Xiao Dongbei wanted to play again, he would have to start from 20% of the training matches. Li Luo could not devote all his energy to him, so he could only say that he invited Xiao Dongbei to join the team at that time.
On the one hand, Li Luo felt that Xiao Dongbei's talent was indeed good and he was a very pure person, so Li Luo wanted to try to see if he could guide him in terms of values to prevent him from becoming the kind of young man who was completely led astray before his rebirth.
Also, Xiaodongbei plays in various positions in order to deal with some emergencies within the team.
However, if Xiaodongbei would become a time bomb, then Li Luo would rather give it up.
What Li Luo is most concerned about recently is the information from the LCK.
Griffin showed off their fangs in this year's LCK Spring Split as expected.
LCK has ended the first round of games so far.
Griffin, with a 9/0 record, tops the list.
This means that in the LCK division composed of ten teams, Griffin defeated all opponents except himself.
At the same time, SKT ranked second with a luxurious record of 8/1.
This situation is slightly different from what Li Luo remembered.
This year’s LCK… seems to be really coming with a lot of momentum?
