In the OPT team, Crown's wrist pain improved after two weeks of rest. This time facing Li Hao, he used the hero Victor that he is very good at.
On Li Hao's side, he took out the Ice Girl.
The overall state of OPT is very poor, which is suitable for TSM's running-in tactics. Unlike the usual focus on the middle, it is their regular style in recent times to link up the center and jungle and play on the side. This is also preparation for S9 in advance.
With the current popularity of TSM, it is expected that they will be targeted in the S game. Although OPT knew TSM's tactics, they did not respond effectively.
In just 14 minutes, TSM launched a continuous encirclement and suppression campaign towards the OPT bottom lane, including four packs of two and five packs of two. This kind of tactical action is extremely rare in the LCS, but TSM was able to execute it efficiently under the command and dispatch of Li Hao.
stand up.
This resulted in the bottom lane combination of Arro and Big being miserable. EZ and Glory were killed repeatedly, leaving no gaming experience at all.
Crown's Victor wanted to support, but the speed of the conversion line couldn't keep up, and he kept getting dust behind Li Hao and Benji.
The support was not in place, and my own development was not able to keep up.
When a team fight breaks out between the two sides, the equipment is already unequal.
Although Cron tried his best, OPT wanted to fall and he couldn't hold him up. There was no other person in the team who stood up and shouldered the responsibility with him.
Every time Ice Girl cuts into the OPT formation, she can lead TSM to launch a strong offensive, which OPT cannot parry.
The audience can feel that the roles of Ice Girl and Victor are very different in this game.
At the early 26th minute, Crown in the OPT player seat stared at "defeat" on the screen, feeling a little depressed.
Failed, failed again
Things have changed, and the time he spent in Samsung only remains in his memory. After leaving the LCK, Crown was not successful and struggled in the LCS. Coupled with the recent injuries, he was already very tired.
At this time, Cron thought of Ryu. Maybe Ryu's decision was the right one.
Cron didn't know what he was thinking. When Li Hao shook hands with him, Cron's expression was still blank.
Apart from shaking hands, the two did not communicate.
But Crown's loneliness hangs on his face, which is in sharp contrast to Li Hao's current brilliance.
In the past, they kept fighting against each other in the World Championship, leaving many famous scenes. A few years later, everyone has reached a completely different fork in their careers. That night, when we returned to the TSM base, at about 9 o'clock, the stupid chicken arrived.
A box of fried chicken and a few cans of Coca-Cola.
Seeing the worried expressions of these two people, Li Hao was a little surprised.
He closed the US server ranking settlement interface in front of him, walked to the table behind him, pulled up a chair, sat down, and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
"Is there anything unpleasant?"
Kabo said, "Brother, we are in a bit of a hurry." "First Ryu, and now Cron." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone.
Li Hao saw that the page was exactly the news sent by Crown.
Cron has made the decision that he will finish the season and take a long break.
According to Cron's current status and age, his words mean that the former three-star mid laner has decided to retire.
Cron was saying goodbye to his fans in a relatively tactful way. Li Hao was surprised.
In my impression, Cron will retire a little later. It seems that his influence is too great.
As old friends are retiring one after another, it is not surprising that Benji and Kaguo have some feelings.
In the club, Li Hao communicated with them and exchanged their feelings. Not to mention stupid chicken and Ka, even he himself was filled with emotion... The timing of Cron's post was also coincidental, it happened to be after the game with Li Hao
After the game.
Once, Dade expressed emotion after the final battle with Li Hao in LPL.
Ryu had a battle with Li Hao and announced his retirement on the spot. Now, Crown will also leave the arena.
These legendary LCK mid laners who shined for a while are all
At the end of his career, he met Li Hao.
The audience put this information together and made many associations. In addition to a sense of epicness and weight, they were more surprised and shocked. [Brother Hao sent away one after another, burying the old era with his own hands]
[This is the legend of Brother Hao, he has performed something different in the league]
[The king is lonely, but in comparison, I suddenly feel that Brother Li from LCK is really tough and has been persevering]
[The former alliance is withering, there are fewer and fewer old people, and our youth is gradually blurred]
[On the importance of maintenance]
[A voice echoed in my ears asking for the next talented mid laner]
…
After Crown Brother posted the news, in addition to many fans following the discussion, LPL e-sports media people, the first to speak in the commentary was Senior Colonel Guan. On his homepage, Senior Colonel Guan updated: "Another star in the league,
It will dim soon.”
The university has been paying attention to Brother Crown and silently supporting him. When the day comes when Cron truly retires, the university will surely post a longer essay.
The retirement dynamics of an old player will have little impact on the current major teams.
Everyone's attention is almost all on the latest version 9.14. Specific heroes will be given specific mechanisms.
For example, shield restraint, treatment restraint, fixed damage reduction, improvement of true vision mechanism, movement restraint, etc.
From a long-term perspective, the addition of these mechanisms will make the BP priority in the professional arena more sound, weaken the designer's weakening-strengthening-weakening cycle for currently strong heroes, free up designers, and allow them to have more
Opportunity to focus on other heroes.
Robot's ultimate move and Crocodile's Red Fury can now break shields. Ahri's E can now restrict movement, and the rushes of Prince, Blind Monk, Camille, etc. will be restrained. Snake Girl and Poppy's ground binding effect can also be restrained.
Certain changes have been made.
Akali, who was slashed in the last two versions, has now received a callback. Galio's mechanism has been greatly changed. Passive and Q damage have been increased. You can't use flash when charging and can be interrupted. This is a huge weakening. The ability to attack first and start a group.
Disappear, return to the middle and take the AP route. You can only rely on R to support the entry, and then take E to control.
Jace, Neeko, and Kennen, the three popular top-lane long-range heroes have been cut down one after another. If you want to use long-range heroes against short-hands, you have to think twice.
There have been a lot of changes in hero balance.
Recently, all major teams have been training intensively within the team or booking training matches abroad.
It is obvious that the changes made after the halfway point of the summer split have made everyone anxious.
The flavor of S9 is getting stronger and stronger.
…
"Congratulations to TSM"
"Another beautiful victory"
The old commentator Riv was very excited, "The King used Lissandra to deal the highest damage in the game, a perfect record."
"Throughout the game, he seemed to be active in every corner." "Fenix's plane didn't do much." Smith emphasized:
"I studied TSM's latest playstyle, and it's very different."
"The mid laners facing The King don't have to worry about their poor statistics for the time being, but their wings are constantly in trouble. With quick and effective support and flexible deployment, TSM's rhythm is like a pair of the most dexterous hands playing the piano.
String, so beautiful"
"Throughout the game, Fox's living space has been compressed, and the distribution of vision and neutral resources is seriously unequal."
"Often when Fox thinks of what to do, TSM has already done it in advance."
Riv laughed and said, "TSM's coach Jin said in the last interview that these changes in the team almost all come from TheKing. He is thinking of ways to make TSM better. This is all for the S9 European trip."
"..."

During their conversation, TSM had already finished shaking hands with the FOX players. Curious about TSM’s tactics, the host Sjo
kz invited coach Kim Sang-soo again in the post-match interview.
"TSM's tactics look ordinary, but when executed, they have unexpected effects. Many LCS teams are learning from you, but the results they produce are completely different."
Sjokz asked, "Coach Kim, can you explain the reason for us?" Kim Sang-soo responded with a smile:
"The effectiveness of tactics depends entirely on the executor."
"I once said that if TheKing became a coach, I would quit get out of class right now."
"In other words, we have an extremely good coach on the field who leads TSM throughout the entire process. This allows our players to keep doing things. The combination of purposeful actions is the most efficient work."
"Of course, this is very tiring and will consume a lot of TheKing's energy." "TSM is extremely concerned about TheKing's health. We hope that he will adopt a more comfortable style of play, but he refuses."
"OH"
Sjokz asked "Why did you refuse?"
Kim Sang-soo showed his admiration, "We need more weapons to compete in the European arena. TSM will have a greater test this summer. Before that, we must do our best."
"If he hadn't fallen, he would have kept fighting." "These are the original words of The King."
Sjokz was shocked, and Kim Sang-soo gave a timely comment: "This is the first time in my coaching career that I have met such a player." "At the beginning, my impression of The King should be that he has super powers. He is one of the most popular players in the e-sports field.
An alien. But after this period of contact, I gradually understood that hard work, self-discipline, a strong mentality, and strong personal charm...these are the keys to his achievements."
"In the field of e-sports, the only person who can perfectly combine these qualities is TheKing."
Sjokz couldn't hold himself back and asked:
"Will this be the most important period of your coaching career?" "Hahaha"
Kim Sang-soo smiled boldly, "Of course."
"I envy Coach Chris very much. He has worked with The King for three seasons."
"For me, this is the most valuable asset in my coaching career. By his side, not only the players can learn a lot, but the coach is no exception."
"..."
Kim Sang-soo's words eliminated many viewers' doubts and also made some teams give up.
There is no way out blindly imitating TSM. It is impossible to find a perfect replacement for the first player in the league. On July 29, TSM will fight 100T again. This time, Yue Lun is missing.
The mid laner was replaced by American player Soligo.
Bang was not discouraged by Yue Lun's departure. He burst out with greater energy when facing TSM.
The 31-minute game was almost sustained by Bang's Xia Qiang. 5/1/4, this was Bang's final record, and it can be said that even though it was a defeat, it was an honor. Ssuay on the road became a war criminal, and top laner Riwen was killed.
Catch the explosion,1/@
, he kept telling me that LeBlanc is a good choice, and your LeBlanc is great."
Li Hao was a little confused: "Why didn't he say it himself?"
Bang smiled and said, "If he had such courage, he would not have left the LCK in the first place."
"He wanted to respond in another way, but it looked like an escape no matter what. But this is Ryu. He left the LCK, but he endured more."
"It's good for him now. He even slept in today." Li Hao nodded and understood what Bang meant. "Junzhi, what are your plans for the future."
Bang's response was very straightforward, "Stay in the LCS and continue to earn US dollars." "This person has retired. I will consider returning to the LCK." As he spoke, Bang gestured in the direction of Li Hao. Meditating, the false god accepted his fate.
.
He was defeated and asked himself whether he was Li Hao's opponent.
The main reason why he stayed in North America was that he didn’t want to compete with Li Hao in the world arena. The two seasons of 2016/2017 were a huge blow to Bang. When Benji left, he leaned into Bang’s ear and whispered
He was so mysterious about something that even Li Hao didn't understand clearly.
On the way backstage, Li Hao asked about it. Benji smiled and said:
"I told Junzhi that if he insists on using meditation training, he must study "Sun Tianxue" more, which will be very helpful. "
"Is this really it?" "Of course."
"Bang is interested in R...Ritianxue" "Very interested."
Li Hao rolled his eyes, feeling that this world was very strange. He then listened to the stupid chicken beside him and said:
"Flando is worthy of being a player who has stayed with you for three years and won three consecutive championships together. He really understands you."
"Now I realize more and more that his interpretation of Ritian Xue is correct and profound."
"Just like the mentality."
"He summarizes the big scenes and huge difficulties you face, and then records your reactions. After reading it, I feel very shocked. Mentality is really the key to becoming a strong person."
…………
The stupid chicken chattered and kept talking. Ka listened with interest and kept asking questions.
Li Hao didn't know what to say when Li Liyuan was released, and he was even a little embarrassed.
…
Time passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, we have entered the midsummer of August. The summer season routines of each major competition area have come to the final stage.
TSM will also play the last two rounds of the regular season this week.
…

PS: Good night book friends, we will update on time before 23:59 tomorrow night.
