When the translator repeated what Li Luo said in Korean, not only the host, but also many Korean fans present turned green in the face.
The host opened his mouth and suddenly felt the urge to slap himself.
What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot?
The translator never expected that Li Luo would answer his question from the side.
Unfortunately, he couldn't refute this question yet.
After all, it was the LPL that won. League of Legends e-sports does not have so many twists and turns. It is impossible for them to say that you used special tactics, so the win was disgraceful and the championship had to be returned to them. There is no such reason.
.
As long as it exists within the rules, it is reasonable.
They can't deny it, and they can't deny it.
On the other side, the JD.com and Top players heard Li Luo's words, and some players were deeply moved.
In fact, even they themselves know very well that if the two sides meet again, if the final is not BO1, there is indeed a slight gap between their hard power and the LCK team.
Although this gap is not big, it can play a decisive role in high-intensity competitions.
And Li Luo's answer was not flattering to them, but just right.
It did not make the LPL division lose face at the LCK's home court, and Li Luo did not highlight the unique characteristics of his Thorn Birds team in the LPL. Instead, he enhanced the prestige of his brother teams and gave him a hard blow.
Face!
This time, the stick is painful enough to reach the World Championships!
The host didn't know how he ended up.
When he got off the stage, he was still in a daze, and he didn't know if his salary would be deducted for his performance after he returned.
LCK fans did not go to the trouble of the LPL team just because Li Luo made innuendo on the stage. Most people can still understand it relatively well.
The ones they are going to cause trouble for are the LCK teams.
Logically speaking, after winning an international event, you should take a vacation, but the four teams in the LPL region hurriedly returned to China the day after winning the championship.
There is no other reason. The Asian Competition will end on July 9th, and the teams on the 12th will usher in their respective games in the second half of the summer split.
Days of high-pressure training made the players look a little tired on the plane, including Li Luo.
Leaning back on a relatively comfortable chair, Li Luo fell into a deep sleep. He felt that he had slept for a long time, but when he woke up and looked at the time, only more than twenty minutes had passed.
A time to torture the LCK team.
After Li Luo thought for a while, he looked at the clouds outside the window in a daze.
Counting the time, I haven't called home for almost two or three weeks.
Time always makes people numb.
Li Luo has made the final calculation. If he chooses to rest during the winter transfer period after this year's World Championship, his career will be exactly two and a half years~
It’s such an alarming time.
…
The victory in the intercontinental competition sent domestic LPL fans into a wave of celebration.
Let’s not talk about domestic forums. Even in foreign forums, the LPL division has been praised to the sky.
Most people are immersed in it, and only a very small number of people smell the crisis.
This crisis mainly comes from two aspects.
One was the Thorn Birds' first show back in China, and something went wrong on this first show.
The team the Thorn Birds faced in this game was the BLG team.
Although the Thorn Birds won the final showdown 2-1, in the deciding game, Xiye's Kiana made many operational errors in the mid-term team battles of the Thorn Birds, causing the situation to worsen.
The Thorn Birds played a nearly 60-minute game for the first time since their founding.
However, it is worth mentioning that Li Luo used Yin Zerel in this game and achieved an output of 100,600.
Set a record for the highest output in the League of Legends professional arena.
Therefore, Li Luo got a new title, Li Shiwan.
What is the concept of 100,000 output in 60 minutes?
You must know that the current leader in average point output in the LPL division this summer... of course, is also Li Luo, but Li Luo's average point output is only 750.
In this competition, Li Luo surpassed him by more than twice.
Of course, most players also know that the hero Yinzeriel is prone to damage. In addition, this game is indeed too late, so it is understandable that Yinzeriel can produce such a high output.
But the figure of over 100,000 is still too terrifying.
The last time such a terrifying number appeared was the RNG team's Tiger 90,000 in 2017.
After the game, Thorn Birdman was exhausted physically and mentally, and Li Luo didn't even attend the post-game interview.
Li Luo's operating habits are similar to those of Uzi.
They all use high-frequency mouse clicks on the ground to find optimal blood exchange opportunities in the gaps, thereby relying on the attack distance to exert suppressive force and continue to suppress them.
The difference is that Li Luo doesn't always suppress people like this in any hero he plays, so compared to Uzi, Li Luo's operating habits are not that fussy.
But this blow really made Li Luo feel as if his hand was almost useless. When he flattened the base, Li Luo even felt some pain in his right wrist.
Fortunately, it's over.
At the end of the game, only Li Luo was left talking and directing.
Fortunately, my teammates can still listen.
When the team walked into the backstage, it was obvious that Zhu Kai was a little angry at the moment. He stared at the team with a straight face. Although he didn't say who he was looking at, Xiye lowered his head and felt a little bit in his heart.
Guilt.
"It's okay. Kiana is a hero that requires proficiency. Even professional players can't master it in a short while."
Just when Zhu Kai was thinking about what to say, Li Luo spoke.
After Li Luo said these words, Xiye felt that the suffocation that had accumulated in his chest and almost suffocated him was released a lot.
Sometimes Xiye hopes that Li Luo will lose his temper and spray him.
He remembered hearing from King Ning that Li Luo had a very bad temper when he was at IG, and he was able to defeat King Ning with his solo.
Why are you now a Buddhist?
If Xiye were to summarize this game, it could probably be divided into three stages.
In the first stage, first of all, during BP, because Kiana, as a new hero, has gradually shown its upper limit in the high-ranking rounds, the coaches of each major team have made predictions for players to practice this hero.
Xiye is no exception. At the same time, Xiye also realizes the horror of this hero.
Xiye, who has played dozens of games, feels that his proficiency is relatively good among domestic players.
However, due to version issues during the intercontinental competition, Xiye didn’t even play Kiana.
After coming back, I only mastered two skills and felt that I could compete in the competition. What made Zhu Kai angry was not that Xiye proposed to take Kiana as a hero.
If you want to play another hero, at least in the Thorn Birds team, you have to ask Zhu Kai what he means.
Even if Li Luo feels a little inappropriate, as long as he doesn't think he will lose 100%, Li Luo will not refute Zhu Kai's opinion. After all, it is just a regular season game. If there is no training in the regular season, it is difficult to go to the playoffs.
Or even training for the World Championships?
So, Xiye took it out.
There wasn't much of a problem with the initial laning.
But the problem lies in the first wave of the team in the mid-term, because the BLG team's lineup has more heroes and is relatively flexible. This also leads to Kiana not performing well in the Xiye team battle... Accurately
It's pretty bad.
It doesn't matter if you perform poorly, after all, no one ever performs poorly.
What really made Zhu Kai angry was that he felt Xiye's superiority through voice communication.
And it came up twice in a row.
Kiana is one step from heaven to one step from hell.
Once the operation is done well, you will feel that this hero is extremely powerful and will be criticized fiercely.
But if the operation is not good, this hero will be different from most other heroes. The visual impact of any operation error by Kiana can be included in the collection of stupid operations.
In contrast, if you play Malzahar, no matter how ugly the team battle is, it will be difficult for most viewers to spot it. After all, Malzahar only needs to place a big move and target the person who should be targeted, and the rest is to pay attention.
Just add a face rolling keyboard to your stance.
Heroes who are not prone to exposing their operational mistakes can usually be collectively referred to as bastard heroes.
But Kiana is different. There is really no harm if this thing goes wrong. So far in LPL, only Rookie and Xiye have taken out Kiana. Rookie pushed a pretty good ultimate move in the canyon.
, it felt quite powerful, but Xiye suddenly became a negative example.
If you make a mistake in operation, you will go up. Once you get up, you will not obey the command.
This is what makes Zhu Kai angry.
Fortunately, Li Luo's tireless command later calmed down Xiye, who sent off two waves in a row, and he didn't make any big mistakes again.
But this game is definitely an ugly one for the Thorn Birds!
"Okay, let's review the game later. But this thing really needs to be practiced. It can't be used again in a short period of time. It feels useless compared to the hero. BLG seems to understand this very well and has not been with us in the jungle.
group."
Xiangguo shook his head and complained.
However, Li Luo suddenly glanced at Xiangguo: "You should also practice this thing. If you have time later, learn how to operate it solo with Su Hanwei first. When you are proficient in the operation, you can consider playing jungle in rank."
"ah?"
Xiangguo was stunned: "Are you kidding me, Lao Li? Can this thing be used in jungle?"
He did not directly refute Li Luo's words.
Because from the time he met Li Luo until now, it seems that what Li Luo said has never failed to come true.
Xiangguo, who thought Li Luo was joking, remained silent and fell into deep thought after seeing the latter nodding seriously.
And what Li Luo said was not groundless.
The tactical capital that Li Luo relied on all the time came from his memories before his rebirth.
Originally, Li Luo would be worried that the designer would change the version due to changes in the environment.
In fact, designers have indeed made adjustments, but these adjustments are not painful. The real big version is the result of painstaking efforts by designers, who will not give up the fruits of their labor easily.
People with this ability are very proud.
How can one's ideas be so easily changed?
So if nothing else goes wrong, Kiana, the hero, will begin to develop from the middle to the jungle in the near future.
Although Li Luo doesn't play Kiana, he knows very well that this hero cannot be mastered with dozens of games.
If Xiangguo can master Kiana's operation through advance training, with his sense of "rhythm version" and Kiana's upper limit of operation, he will definitely be a big killer in this year's World Championship.
Of course, playing Kiana also requires talent.
Some players just don't get along with a certain hero, and no matter how hard they practice, it won't help.
This is also very reasonable.
That night, the Thorn Birds team conducted an in-depth review of the game.
The results of the review were pretty good.
However, just when Li Luo was about to go back to rest after browsing the information of today's e-sports circle, he saw two unexpected messages.
This news is not from the LPL region.
But LCK.
To be precise, it comes from the SKT team.
The SKT team has welcomed two new players.
Logically speaking, this is not a transfer period. According to league rules, if a new player wants to join a professional team outside of the non-transfer period, he must meet two conditions.
One, either the player is a free agent.
Secondly, the player can also be a young player from the youth training team of the team.
When Li Luo saw the two newly introduced players to the SKT team, his eyes suddenly froze.
Li Luo was impressed by these two players.
Even the second player is familiar.
But at this point in time...
"rest early."
When Zhu Kai was about to leave the training room, he saw that Li Luo was still in a daze. He couldn't help but pat Li Luo's shoulder, and then looked at Li Luo's screen.
"Coach, do you have any impression of this player? Isn't he from JD.com?"
Li Luo pointed to the ID on the screen and said.
Zhu Kai looked up at the ID and thought about it carefully: "I have no impression."
Then Zhu Kai said with some suspicion: "SKT are both newcomers. Is there any problem?"
"fine."
Li Luo shook his head.
The ID he saw was kanavi.
After Zhu Kai left, Li Luo racked his brains and thought about it for a long time before he finally remembered.
Before Kanavi was reborn, it was in the summer of 2019 that he first appeared on the competition stage and joined JD.com.
However, JD.com did not take any action in the spring and summer transfer window this year, which made Li Luo a little suspicious.
Could it be that JD.com's regular season performance in this spring's spring split was not very good, and it was a team that improved quickly through the playoffs? So Redmi felt that the team still had potential for growth, but it just needed time, so it didn't introduce new players.
?
Kanavi was still a newcomer at this time.
But the characteristics of this player and various information quickly emerged in Li Luo's mind.
In the eyes of outsiders, the SKT team just introduced a new jungler.
But in Li Luo's eyes, kanavi's style is completely opposite to clid's, which means that SKT may enrich its own style of play.
And although Kanavi's condition is unstable, he is not the kind of jungler who gives off a "very unstable" feeling.
In addition, SKT’s new players are players from the youth training team.
ID is a.
Li Luo is no stranger to this ID.
A mouse.
Li Luo then read through the opinions of Korean media and even domestic media on this matter.
Not surprisingly, most of the media believed that SKT sought medical treatment in an emergency.
But in Li Luo's view, this was not the case.
A team that does not seek changes after losing a game is unlikely to change.
But if there is a change in the structure of the team, what kind of chemical reaction will occur, and what level will the upper limit be... it's a bit of a simulation.
