LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 17: It's either a giant tree or a Titan, what's wrong with the LPL in this world?

Fu Shiyan was unaware of the AGD trio's thoughts.

Or rather, even if he knew, his emotions wouldn't fluctuate much regarding the upcoming welcome ceremony for his professional match.

Welcome to LSPL?

Who do you think you are?

Please change it to "Welcome to LPL" or "Welcome to Worlds," okay?

Also, you probably haven't heard the phrase "Welcome to the NXG Youth Training Camp" before!

It's worth noting that in a parallel universe, esports enthusiasts worldwide unanimously believe that the competitive intensity of their club's youth training camp is comparable to that of some top leagues in other regions.

Players who manage to emerge victorious from this process are guaranteed a starting position in a mid-tier team within the top league.

Fu Shiyan said he lacked talent, but that was in comparison to those monsters who also came from the NXG youth training camp, not to mention his current talent, which was a fusion of two lifetimes.

So, it's still uncertain who will welcome whom.

"Two minutes left!"

The ADG team typed in the public chat.

Fu Shiyan picked up his headphones, turned around, and scanned the faces of his four teammates one by one.

He didn't rush to discuss tactics, but instead mentally reviewed the purpose of this training match once again.

What he wants to test is never individual operation.

I've seen enough of the mechanics in those few ranked games. What truly determines whether a team can climb up the ranks in the city championship is the execution ability of the five players under pressure.

From a coach's perspective, specifically, he needs to look at three things!

First, the speed and completeness of information feedback.

During the laning phase, how many seconds does the enemy jungler show their face, what skills do they use, and which jungle area do they go to?

Information such as how many seconds are left before your skills are ready, which direction the minion wave is pushing, and whether you can move—must be reported immediately, even if you're unsure.

What I fear most is not reporting errors, but remaining silent.

Second, the decisiveness in executing instructions.

He said he was leaving, and regardless of how many minions were left on the line, he turned and left.

He said that even if his health is low, he should use his skills immediately when attacking.

While decisiveness may lead to defeat, hesitation can also result in defeat!

Finally, there's the instinct to cooperate under pressure.

When a team is at a disadvantage in a training match, you can see a person's true colors best—whether they are fighting alone, shutting down and isolating themselves, or still reporting information, looking for opportunities, and trusting their teammates' commands.

These skills cannot be acquired simply by playing ranked games.

It needs to be brought to the professional arena, where those who have actually played in the LSPL will put it to the test to see its true quality.

Of course, Fu Shiyan wouldn't just stand by and watch the contestants get humiliated without thinking; to put it bluntly...

If he were to be outmaneuvered in a scrim by a team that can't even qualify for the LPL, he should throw away those thoughts in his head as soon as possible to avoid making a fool of himself in the end.

Fu Shiyan snapped out of his thoughts and faced his teammates again:

"There are no tactical plans for the first game. I only have one request for everyone: provide plenty of feedback!"

"You should report back all the information you know and can judge; you should also report back any uncertain or even completely unjudgeable information."

"If you see your opponent's hero disappear, even if you don't know the direction, just say 'disappeared.' If you feel your jungler might be nearby, then say 'I think he's there.' When you need help, you should call out immediately—don't be shy, if you don't call out, your teammates won't be able to judge."

"You don't need to worry about anything else. How to fight team battles, how to control minion waves, when to move, and when to retreat—everything is based on my signals."

All four nodded in unison.

"OK!"

"no problem."

"Got it, Yan-ge—if we don't collapse in lane, that's a success!"

Fu Shiyan's lips twitched slightly.

"...You should take back those words for now."

He glanced at the support player, his tone a mix of helplessness and seriousness.

"Planting flags or anything like that is unacceptable."

……

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Two crisp system notification sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

As the host, using the Golden Horn Mouse, gently clicked the "Start Game" button, the custom room interface instantly switched.

The BO3 professional training match titled 【BJBS vs ADG】(October 19, 2015) has officially entered the ban/pick phase.

(All) ADG-jinjiao: "Disabled mode, or unlimited?"

BJBS-Crush: "Unlimited!"

Training matches are meant to test a team's form and a player's skill level, so there's no need for targeted bans like in official matches.

If we follow the league rules one by one, we lose the purpose of training the team.

Of course, although both parties agreed on an "unrestricted" mode, some things were tacitly avoided.

Aside from a few heroes that require extra practice, both teams tacitly abandoned the currently popular picks in the World Championship version—such as overpowered monsters like Gangplank and Mordekaiser, which were basically banned by default.

And then there are champions like Kalista and Ryze, who are clearly going to be heavily nerfed in Season 6, so nobody bothers to pick them.

After all, practice matches are for learning useful skills, not for having fun in a game or two.

A few minutes later, the lineups for both sides were finalized as follows:

Blue side BJBS: Top lane Rumble, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Twisted Fate, Bot lane Twitch and Braum!

Red team ADG: Top lane Nautilus, Jungle Elise, Mid lane Ahri, Bot lane Vayne and Nami!

"Tsk..."

Fu Shiyan's gaze swept over the five hero portraits of the red team one by one, and his lips pursed slightly.

He wanted to say something, but he also felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he didn't know where to begin.

For a fleeting moment, he almost burst out laughing.

No, what's wrong with the LPL region in this world?

Do you really like playing tanks in the top lane?

It's either a giant tree or a Titan; it's always the same two faces, and people are getting tired of seeing them.

What about Fiora?

What about Raven?

If all else fails, go for Crocodile or Nocturne!

If you pick Ahri in mid lane to counter Twisted Fate, I won't argue with you; it's a counter pick, that's normal.

But what does it mean to pair a top laner with Nautilus and Vayne?

He quickly went through the opposing team's lineup and strategy in his mind.

It has been confirmed once again that there is no such abstract tactical need as revealed in the S6 preseason changes.

So even if it's just to prepare for the next season, judging from the current version previews, the mainstream top laner is still the fighter, right?

Rumble, Fiora, and Darius are the ones you should really practice.

Titans are fine for breaking control chains, but when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, what are you going to use to fight a warrior?

Furthermore, the pinpoint control that Titan can provide when initiating a team fight, aside from his somewhat unreliable ultimate, is mostly one-on-one headshots.

This playstyle requires teammates to provide enough burst damage to instantly kill the locked target.

But on the other side, there's a Vayne and an Ahri...

To be honest, Fu Shiyan really couldn't find where ADG's breakthrough point was.

Vayne's playstyle is based on sustained damage, using her three-hit passive to gradually increase her damage output.

Aside from being beautiful, I, Tanuki, have to wait for the cooldown after using a full set of skills.

Who are these two trying to kill when they team up?

Even killing a Braum takes half a day.

If you really want to play a composition that relies on crowd control and locks down enemies, it would be much better to replace Vayne with Sivir. When Sivir activates her ultimate, the whole team charges in, and Nautilus can hook anyone and instantly kill them. That's what a true team composition looks like.

Fu Shiyan gently shook his head.

Fine, it's their business how they choose.

He just needs to take good care of BJBS.
