Chapter 43 didn't look like this before.
After packing their things, everyone boarded the van that took them to the venue.
"Hey Pugo, how's your game going today? Can you crush the enemy bot lane?"
IMP waved his hand dismissively, not caring at all.
Pyl chimed in, saying, "What's there to say about beating VG's bot lane? They can just stomp them."
The same is true.
Although VG strengthened their mid and jungle positions in the Summer Split, they still didn't have the same old style.
The Marquis of Zhonglu likes to play the role of a brusher.
They replaced him with a stronger jungler, Dandy, but he still likes to farm even when he plays jungle.
This makes both the upper and lower roads very uncomfortable.
Against weaker teams, the mid and jungle players, once they've fully developed, can indeed step up and carry the game.
However, their performance against strong teams is not ideal; it's too difficult to drag the game out.
Moreover, even if it drags on, the opposing team will still have characters who can come out of retirement at the right time.
It would be a lie to say Knight wasn't nervous about facing a champion mid laner for the first time.
The man behind Faker, the absolute hero of SKT's championship victory.
These titles are all visible.
"The other side's ID is indeed a bit intimidating, but times have changed."
"Indeed, Easyhoon plays a farming style, and he's not good at laning."
To put it bluntly, Pyl even thinks Easyhoon is probably the least competitive mid laner in Group A.
"Right, Brother Jiang?"
In order not to discourage Knight, Jiang Xia nodded.
To put it simply, Easyhoon's playstyle is not suitable for VG, or even for the LPL.
A good player also needs a good platform; this principle remains unchanged throughout history.
Otherwise, looking back at the entire history of SKT, there has never been a player who could shine brightly after leaving SKT.
They chatted casually as they arrived at the venue.
........
However, VG's situation is not easy compared to LGD.
The problem with this team is that even a coach with excellent skills like Redmi doesn't know what to do.
One team, two ideas.
It's no exaggeration to say that this is VG's current predicament.
The mid and jungle lanes focus on farming and macro play, while the bot lane is known for its aggressive, fighting style.
The clash between two extreme ideas will result in 1+1=0.
We've played four matches in the Summer Split, and haven't won a single game.
Of course, it's also possible that the characters in Group A are just too ruthless.
Originally, Redmi pinned its hopes for its first victory on LGD.
He coached LGD for a period of time last year, so he knows how serious LGD's problems are.
This spring has confirmed his thoughts.
But... this summer, LGD is completely different.
He really wanted to meet the new coach and have a heart-to-heart talk with him.
How did she manage to do something that even she herself was at a loss for what to do?
just.
Forget it, I'm already in a bind.
As is customary, I gave the team some motivational speeches and outlined some tactics for countering LGD.
Well, there's still a chance of winning.
But VG's bot lane is in a very pessimistic state.
XuanXuanpi, the AD carry player who came from RNG, and Xiao Duan.
Perhaps they are somewhat competitive in the LPL's overall bot lane ecosystem, but when you think of their rival IMP...
XuanXuanpi could only wail in his heart.
What? I won the S4 World Championship?
Isn't that what Uzi and the others should be doing?
"Play your own game well. Our mid laner is the core, so we must ensure his development. Vision is especially important."
Redmi's meaning is simple: to protect the efficiency and safety of Easyhoon flashing.
They communicated in Korean, but VG's translation skills were somewhat lacking.
The message that reached the three Chinese players was: the mid laner is the boss, and all of you have to serve him. Everyone must buy wards and place them near the mid laner when you leave the game.
Xiao Duan didn't seem to care, but XuanXuanpi was completely dumbfounded.
No, bro, is this right? What about me? I'm a C too.
But he didn't say anything.
Anyway, I'm not going to listen, hehe.
the other side.
Jiang Xia was also frantically making arrangements.
In the best-of-three (Bp) phase, the most crucial link was given to Knight.
"Yes, let's choose cards."
Against Easyhoon, Jiang Xia and Knight conveyed two ideas: one was to farm against him, and the other was to prevent him from farming comfortably.
The former is unnecessary; VG has already mastered the art of letting Easyhoon farm gold.
As for breaking through the mid lane, the probability is even smaller.
In the face of this man, as steady as a defensive tower, every attack from his opponent will be caught and neutralized.
"VG's comfort zone is not to fight, so they rarely take the initiative. What we need to do is to bring them into the rhythm and force them to keep fighting."
"Avoid their cowardly mid and jungle, look for opportunities in the bot lane, and tear a gap big enough."
Therefore, cards are the best option.
"Okay." Everyone nodded.
The thought process has been clearly explained, and we had a meeting about it yesterday.
In short, everyone took today's game very seriously.
Pyl doesn't really understand how to play against VG, so why is the coach taking it so seriously?
Even if he didn't tell them anything, he was confident he could easily win them over.
As for the loss to VG in the Spring Split, Pyl had long forgotten about it.
Can the situation back then be compared to the situation now?
"Are you daydreaming again? I'll yell at you first thing after I get the loot." Eimy noticed that Pyl was spacing out.
"No, why the hell are you so agitated? Is playing against VG really that stressful?"
"Um..." Eimy scratched his head sheepishly.
There's a sense of shame, like when a classmate catches you frantically studying before an exam back in your school days.
"Oh, it's just a pop quiz. You really worked hard."
"......"
I felt inexplicably awkward.
"What's wrong with taking the competition seriously?" Eimy retorted.
"That makes sense, but..." Pyl didn't know what to say; it wasn't like this before.
The coach's words came from the side.
"Those who can stand on this stage are all outstanding individuals; do not look down on anyone."
Do you remember our goal for the regular season? To secure second place and strive for first. EDG is on a roll right now. We lost to them before, so whether we can get first place might depend on their results.
But second place is something we can strive for.
From now on, every game and every point will be important.
We've had very little time to gel, and we're already far behind others. If we don't work harder than them, how can we even think about the future?
These declarations made the seasoned veteran Pyl feel somewhat ashamed.
It's not that he thinks being serious is bad.
It's still the same principle.
It didn't look like this before, I'm just not used to it.
But he'll get used to it eventually; after all, it feels pretty good.
At least, he hasn't been anxious about many things for a long time.
For Jiang Xia, this was his truest thought.
After nearly a decade of setbacks, his restart has taught him to cherish things more.
I also learned how to ensure I have no regrets.
Just before going on stage.
Tabe suggested that everyone cheer each other on.
Everyone's right hands were stacked together.
"LGD, keep it up!"
This scene was captured by the camera and displayed on the main screen at the director's direction.
Then not only Pyl, but the viewers in the live chat were also shocked.
What? LGD can do this kind of move? They didn't used to do this.
The members of the optimistic family were even more moved, and they all smiled like doting aunts.
Good, good, good, this is what a team should be like! They have such great cohesion and such positive energy!
Go LGD!
[May things get better and better like this.]
I'm so upset I could cry.

I'll leave the task of reading the book to my godfathers.
