Chapter 247 Unprecedented Confidence!

On the eve of the semi-final draw ceremony.

In the backstage lounge.

Everyone in EDG was discussing something seriously.

"FNC is very strong now, and they have figured out the rules of this version."

"That's right, especially their jungler. The version heroes are very good. At the same time, their adc player Rekkles' hero pool is different from other ADCs. Rekkles' hero pool is very strange, but it is very useful in the current version."

Abu said with a serious face, and the other players were also listening very seriously.

Li Luo put his hand on his chin, thought for a while and said, "So it's better for us to choose KZ. There is no need to worry about FNC not being able to make it to the finals. With the current state of the FW team, it is still relatively difficult to beat FNC."

As soon as Li Luo said this, everyone subconsciously nodded.

As a coach, Abramovich felt something was wrong.

Is the meaning expressed in these words a bit different from my initial analysis?

They are discussing who will play better.

But what Li Luo meant...was that what he meant?

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what Li Luo said. If FNC can't defeat FW and advance to the finals...we still have a chance to meet them in the World Championship."

Ming Kai also spoke deeply.

Abu looked over with a swish of his head.

Hey, hey, Akai, what's wrong with you?
After being dazed for a while, Abu sighed dejectedly: "Okay, okay, since everyone's opinions are similar, let's make it so, we choose KZ."

……

Meanwhile, in KZ's backstage lounge.

"They...shouldn't choose us, right?"

Little Peanut was sitting on the chair, obviously looking at his mobile phone, but his eyes had wandered to other places, obviously a little absent-minded.

After hearing the words of pray, Little Peanut's eyes fluctuated a little. He looked up and saw: "So what if you choose us? The group stage doesn't explain anything. We won the finals so easily in the Spring Split. We played BO5." We've always been the best at it."

"And EDG has not played BO5 in world-type events for two years. They didn't even make it to the knockout round last year. What are you worried about?"

Although Little Peanut's tone was quite aggressive, his words gave off a feeling of not being so confident.

The two sets they lost to EDG failed to exceed 10 minutes combined.

An operation team can beat them in such a short period of time twice in a row, which is already very self-explanatory.

But everyone in KZ has a common feeling.

The strength gap between them and EDG does not seem to be large. The reason why they lost two games is because they did not find a suitable entry point.

That's where the problem lies.

Finding a solution to this problem will take time.

But MSI's schedule is too tight, and there is only a short 2-day break between the end of the group stage and the knockout stage.

Use two days to find a solution to EDG?
Not to mention the players, even KZ's coaching staff doesn't have too much confidence.

But they can't blame others.

Destiny has always been in their own hands, but they have not grasped it.

The most nervous Khan seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Have you noticed that EDG hardly chose carry heroes for the top laner in this MSI event?"

As a top laner, Khan naturally looks at problems from the top lane.

As soon as Khan's words came out, KZ's coach was stunned for a moment, and then his confused pupils gradually became clear.

He seemed to be vaguely inspired by Khan's words, but when he thought about it carefully, he was a little uncertain.

"If you have any other ideas, keep talking."

KZ's coach sin said immediately.

He used to be a Korean aid player in the LPL division.

Once joined the WE team with another Korean player ninja.

It's a pity that the results were not ideal. In the end, when facing retirement, after some careful consideration, Sin decided to transform and become a coach.

He used his experience in playing professionally in the LPL to continue KZ's already aggressive style of play.

It is precisely because he knows the LPL competition area better that he was caught off guard when EDG came up with an advanced version of its operational tactics.

Because the LPL style shown by EDG is very different from what he knows.

Khan's words gave him some inspiration.

It's just that he needs more information.

After thinking for a moment, Khan continued: "In the first round of the group stage, EDG's jungler Tian has been targeted by various teams, including us taking advantage of it in the early stage."

"Since then, EDG has played extremely around the bottom half."

Khan's words caused the other players in KZ to think briefly.

Everyone heard it.

There was a key word in what Khan said.

extreme.

As the team representing LCK in MSI, KZ's ultimate goal is to step on the LPL division, which won the world championship last year.

Therefore, before EDG came to MSI, KZ did a lot of homework.

That's right, EDG also played around the lower half of the LPL, because Jin Gong's ability to resist pressure is strong enough, let Jin Gong choose the carry type hero even if he is targeted in the early stage, he can still develop in the later stage, and play the hero should be Some effects.

This is the main reason why all teams participating in MSI will actively block Jin Gong's signature hero Captain when they are on the red side.

They don't want people who are undead in the early stage to show a role that is not much inferior to the top laner they have been helping in the early stage.

KZ's bp has been doing the same.

But when Khan said the word "extreme", KZ's coach Sin suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

"Okok, I understand what you mean!"

Sin clapped his hands, and he quickly pulled over the whiteboard in the backstage lounge, and while writing and drawing quickly on it, he said: "I overlooked some things, one is the strength of the LPL top laner."

"One is the ecological chain of the top order in this version."

"There is another one, which is the influence that the top laner will have on the rhythm of the jungler!"

Under sin's whiteboard pen, a somewhat scribbled EDG team structure diagram quickly appeared.

"When Jin Gong, the top laner of EDG, chooses a carry type hero, although EDG is stocking on the surface, Xiaotian, as a jungler, will occasionally help the top laner to do anti-squatting, and at the same time, he will also use a lot of his vision. Dedicated to the upper half to escort Jin Gong."

"This means that as a jungler, Tian has to do more things, but this version of Tian is not acclimatized. The more things he does, the more prone to problems, so EDG has been helping Tian to cover up."

"They tried their best to keep the heroes selected by Tian and the heroes selected online in a balanced situation, so that the two sides were in a situation where it was easier to cooperate, or let Tian always go to the jungle steadily."

"The less he does, the less likely his problems will be highlighted in the version."

"If EDG's top laner chooses carry-type heroes, and our top laner also chooses carry-type heroes, Tian will have to do more things, and it will be easier for us to formulate tactics to target this weak point of EDG."

"At that time, top lane development heroes who are not strong enough in the early stage will be able to help Tian a lot less."

"We have always entered into a misunderstanding. We don't allow Jin Gong to take carry heroes. We can release some heroes for him next time we meet. There is no need to target the hero pool of the top lane!"

The more sin said, the brighter his eyes became.

The same goes for everyone else in KZ.

The confidence that had been frustrated by the second game gradually swelled from a dry state.

……

Just then, the referee knocked on their door.

Signal them all to assemble on the stage.

The side selection ceremony for the knockout round is about to begin.

"Don't be too nervous. If they were sensible, they probably wouldn't choose us. According to my understanding of them, the Chinese are always cautious. They would worry about what to do if they choose us and end up in the semi-finals."

"After all, the runner-up of MSI always sounds better than the top four of MSI."

Coach Sin's words made the players feel completely relaxed.

"That's right, if you choose us, we will send them home. Now our record against them is 0/2. If it becomes 3/2 after the knockout round, we will win them completely at this MSI."

The logic that Khan sorted out with his Malphite-like brain sounded in everyone's ears.

However, the players in KZ still subconsciously feel that it makes sense!
……

In the crowded venues.

The four teams that entered the knockout round all came to the stage.

The representative chosen by EDG is undoubtedly Li Luo.

The representative sent by FW is their ad player Betty.

Standing by Li Luo's side, Betty would sometimes take a sneak peek at Li Luo.

No way, in the two games, he was suppressed a little every time he made up the knife.

Although there are jungle factors in this, Betty can't feel the kind of matchup pressure that suffocates him.

At least in the LMS division, no bottom laner can put him under such pressure.

Sjokz, the master of the fist, took the microphone and walked to Li Luo's side, and asked with a smile on the opponent Li Luo would choose in the knockout round.

Li Luo looked at the camera, under the attention of countless people, he said naturally: "KZ."

After the words fell, sjokz opened his mouth slightly, showing a surprised expression.

And the audience at the scene also cheered instantly.

On the domestic barrage and post bar forums, a blockbuster 666 was floated up.

For domestic audiences, they have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Damn it! Damn, who dares to say that I am a coward in EDG's foreign war?"

"It's about choosing sticks, it's about being tough!"

"Just for the guts of EDG, even if they lose in the end, I will definitely not criticize them!"

“我10/0凭什么不敢选你6/4的队伍啊……哦抱歉，是6/5。”

"Cold knowledge, since the start of MSI, South Korean teams have never missed the final."

"Luobao is safe to fly, mother will always be with you!"

This moment belongs to the carnival of domestic players.

Just because of the guts of EDG.

After all...the LPL has only one s-game world champion so far.

Before the number of world champions surpassed that of the LCK, for the Korean team, most players still feel a little guilty after all.

And the LPL players are helping them build up their self-confidence little by little in this environment!
