February 3rd
Today, SKT's opponent is ROX Tigers, whom they met in the finals.
Even though so many years have passed, Li Xianghe is still deeply impressed by this once veteran team.
In the S5 finals, they fought fiercely with KOO (the predecessor of ROX) for four games and defeated their opponent with a score of three to one.
The S6 semi-finals met again, and the intensity was comparable to the finals.
The teams from both sides were going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other.
Although SKT won the first game strongly, they lost consecutively in the second and third games. The high pressure of the game made Lee Jae-wan, the support player, nervous and made many unnecessary mistakes.
In the final fifth game, ROX also took control of the situation in the early stage. However, Peaunt's confusion and Bengi's strength allowed SKT to seize the opportunity to make a comeback.
He evened up the disadvantage bit by bit and won this old enemy that they met twice in a row with a score of 3 to 2.
Since that semi-final.
Lee Jae-wan suffered from a series of mental illnesses.
When playing games, I often experience nausea and vomiting for no apparent reason.
Coupled with being in a trance from time to time, my state continued to decline.
From the unquestionable starting support, he was demoted to a substitute. The initial combination of Bang and Wolf also became Ba's appearance.
Although she often quarreled with her outspoken friend, she had previously had disagreements over how to play the support of Alistar (Tauren Chieftain).
But no matter what, she still felt sorry for Li Zaiwan's unfortunate experience.
Li Xianghe can even predict it.
Wolf will be the next player to leave SKT.
Just like waving goodbye to Bengi before.

Although Su Yuhang's body has not fully recovered.
But I still followed the team members, got on the team’s shuttle bus, and showed up at the LOL Park competition venue.
The team members did not collapse on the sofa.
Instead, they sat around and listened carefully to the coach's instructions.
"You must have seen the update notification for the new version, right?" Jin Zhenxun raised his eyebrows.
In the update preview from the past few days.
The designer not only completed the redesign of Swain, an old hero, but also completely removed the green jungle knife with artificial eyes.
Such a huge change.
For Korean teams that like to win through operations, the impact is extremely serious.
"The green jungle knife has been removed, I know this." Jiang Shanjiu was the first to raise his hand.
As the jungler of the team, after learning about the changes in the new version, she has already begun to try some aggressive heroes.
For example, Nidalee the Wild Huntress and Elise the Spider Queen.
"I think... we should make some changes in our style of play." Newcomer Blossom spoke cautiously. "The last change to the Banner of Command made it impossible for the Baron BUFF and enhancement effects to be superimposed, which has led to some tactical differences among some teams.
Adjustment."
"And this time the green jungle knife has been completely removed. I think... the past pure operation method of supporting late-game play is a bit... not very applicable."
She expressed her opinion carefully.
A newcomer questions the style that LCK has inherited for so many years.
No matter how I listen to it, I feel a little disrespectful to my seniors.
"I think so too." Su Yuhang nodded in agreement, "The mechanism of the first-blood tower has sped up the pace of League of Legends a lot."
"Many teams compete in the early stage for the extra bounty. This is the case with the MVPs we met before."
Even though MVP is still on a losing streak.
But Su Yuhang doesn't think it's the coach's BP problem, but the players' lack of coordination.
"Xianghe, what do you think?" Jin Zhenxun was silent for a while.
She also knows that this change will have a huge impact on the entire LCK league.
Most of the past LCK games.
The jungle knives are all green.
The purpose is to expand the advantage through vision and gradually widen the gap with the opponent.
However, the emergence of the Rift Herald and the fire-attribute dragon forced the team to engage in a head-on battle to compete for these neutral resources.
Plus the weakening of the Banner of Command and the deletion of the green jungle knife.
The pure operational approach is no longer applicable.
"I have watched LPL team games before, and their playing style is indeed very different from ours." Li Xianghe said, "We are eating away at our opponents step by step."
"And they used fierce ganks and fierce small-scale team battles to obtain kills and neutral resource ownership, thereby taking an economic lead."
LPL games are basically known for their bloodiness.
There are dozens or hundreds of kills in a game, which is simply a common occurrence.
"This style of play has merit, but the risk is too high."
"Once the opportunity is seized, it will easily lead to a disadvantage in the situation."
Regardless of the advantages or disadvantages, Li Xianghe summed it up very clearly.
"I understand everyone's opinions." Jin Zhenxun nodded slightly. "In the past few days, I will think carefully about how I should adjust my BP ideas and the style of the entire team."
"But the top priority now is to play well in today's game." She continued to turn the page and changed the topic to her opponent ROX.
"ROX has changed a lot of players in the new season, but there haven't been many changes in tactics."
"What we are best at is the linkage between the middle and jungle to open up the situation. This is quite similar to us."
"But there are often mistakes in coordination, which is why they won two games to one in both games."
"When facing strong teams, such as AFS and KZ, the mistakes in coordination are particularly obvious."
When encountering AFS.
In the early stage, ROX gained a good advantage thanks to the linkage between the midfielder and jungler.
However, the lack of neutral resources allowed AFS to obtain the terrifying dual fire dragons. Even with vampires as a support in the late stage, ROX still lost the game helplessly.
When playing against KZ.
Lindarang, who was on the road, was beaten by the frequent linkages between the top and jungle players and lost his temper.
As a result, Khan's captain took over the game prematurely, relying on the high damage of explosive barrels to win team battles one after another.
Especially the shocking four kills at the end.
The explosive barrel was like a blazing fire, killing ROX to the point of defeat.
Two consecutive 2-0 defeats exposed many problems.
"So for ROX, I suggest focusing on team battles in the mid-to-late stage." Jin Zhenxun said, "They seem not to be safe enough in handling team battles, especially top laner Lindarang, who is very easy to advance rashly."
This top laner has almost become the breakthrough point for the entire team.
When playing against KZ, he was continuously trained by Peaunt.
I was disconnected from my teammates and went deep behind enemy lines alone.
When fighting against AFS, my face touched the grass and was pulled back by Scorpion's ultimate move.
This is the beginning of a wonderful team battle.
ROX has four attribute dragons, including two fire dragons.
Still, the African team completed the kills one after another, achieving an incredible comeback that even the audience commentators were dumbfounded.
"We can refer to KZ's play style, with the midfielder helping the top lane to open up the situation and win the game."
Speaking of this, Kim Jung Hoon turned his attention to Park Yi Jung (Untara).
"Yizhen, your most important task is to take the lead in the lane and help the team open up the situation under the roaming ganks of Xianghe and Shanjiu."
As the saying goes, you can hit a snake within seven inches. Now that you know the opponent's weaknesses, you must prescribe the right medicine.
Pu Yizhen nodded vigorously after receiving the order.
Her mood at this moment was one of tears of joy and relief.
Xin said that he had played the pressure-resistant top laner for several rounds.
There is neither a mid lane gang nor a jungle squat, so he is completely abandoned.
Chapter completed!
