LOL: I didn't retire, just no one wanted

Chapter 96 Battle for the top spot!

When they came to the second floor, Qin Ge knocked on the door first, waited for two or three seconds, and then opened the door and walked in.

In the room, Zhuo Ding sat cross-legged on the bed, and when he saw someone coming in, he subconsciously raised his head and took a look.

Seeing his red eyes, Qin Ge knew that the little brother must have secretly wiped his tears just now.

"Remorseful?"

After closing the door, Qin Ge walked over carelessly and sat down beside him.

Zhuo Ding lowered his head slightly, and blamed himself in a crying tone: "Brother, it's all my fault, otherwise we would definitely not lose."

Qin Ge smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's fine to lose a game."

"what?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Ding was taken aback for a moment, and asked with a puzzled face, "Why? Isn't it good to win consecutively?"

"The winning streak is really good, it can keep our team's vigor and momentum. But haven't you noticed that the team has become more and more impetuous recently?"

"impetuous?"

Zhuo Ding thought about it carefully, and found that it was indeed a little bit.

I forgot when it started, and the players gradually felt supercilious, as if the entire LPL was a rookie, and there was no one who could play.

Not only Lin Weixiang and the others, even he himself had such thoughts in his heart.

As a professional gamer, it is good to have self-confidence, but you cannot be conceited.

The teacher once had a classic saying, despise the enemy strategically, and pay attention to the enemy tactically.

"Have you forgotten that EDG won the championship last year?"

I'm sorry, the factory manager. In order to comfort my little brother, I can only use you as a negative example.

Last summer, EDG won the regular season and won the championship. In the final of the playoffs, they swept RNG 3:0 and won the league championship.

The results of it?
Afterwards, Zhuo Ding was very clear about what happened in the World Championship, and EDG once again liked to mention the quarter-finals.

Seeing that the little brother's mood has stabilized a lot, Qin Ge said seriously: "Actually, I was not surprised at all by Rookie knocking you out in lane today, and even thought it was normal."

"Where is it normal?"

Zhuo Ding was obviously not convinced.

Qin Ge smiled and said: "During my offseason due to injury, I didn't lose a game in any major competition area. Let's just say that, among all the mid laners, regardless of factors such as roaming and support, the single In terms of lane strength, Rookie is the only one!"

Hearing that his elder brother spoke so highly of Rookie, Zhuo Ding felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help retorting: "Where's Faker?"

"If it's Faker from S3, I can still fight against him, but Li Guapi can't do it now."

In fact, there is another point that Qin Ge didn't say, that is, Rookie's performance today is just occasional.

A player has an upper limit and a lower limit.

This is also why, many times in the group stage of the World Championship, there are always weak teams who upset the favorites to win the championship.

Because the BO1 match is the upper limit, players from weak teams can stimulate the upper limit, so they may not be able to fight against strong teams.

Rookie, who exploded today, has inspired the upper limit, but he can't maintain this state forever, unless he has the cheat of [absolute focus] like Qin Ge.

Seeing that Zhuo Ding was silent, Qin Ge patted him on the shoulder and continued, "I didn't say this to hurt you, but to tell you the difference between you and Rookie!"

Zhuo Ding couldn't help asking: "What's the difference?"

"The difference is in experience and a ruthless spirit!"

Qin Ge pondered and said: "In terms of talent, I don't think you are inferior to him. He is better than you because he has 2 years of dean experience! It is no exaggeration to say that the IG team is dragged by Rookie alone. If he can’t stand up, the game will most likely be lost.”

"So, he has to do everything possible to carry the game. And if he wants to carry, he must first win the laning. In other words, he has been thinking about laning almost for the past two years. Do you understand what I mean?"

Because of Qin Ge's existence, Team DAN made Zhuo Ding and the others somewhat relaxed.

It is precisely because of him that they can let go of their minds and dare to fight and show off, but at the same time, they also lack the ruthlessness to carry alone and turn the tide.

This point can only be understood by those who have been deans.

So is Qin Ge!

When S5 first debuted, he was the director of the team, so he can understand Rookie's feelings.

After silently listening to Qin Ge's words, Zhuo Ding was silent for a moment, then raised his head, and said firmly, "Brother, I also want to be the dean."

"You fucking!"

Qin Ge slapped him on the head with his backhand, and jokingly said, "You're fat, aren't you? With me here, you're a fucking dean!"

Zhuo Ding shrank his neck and said aggrievedly: "No, I mean, I want to experience the kind of ruthlessness you mentioned."

Hearing this, Qin Ge laughed and said, "It's easy to handle. From tomorrow onwards, Zeng Junli and I will take turns in the training match. When Zeng Junli is on the court, you are in charge of the carry game. If you lose, you will practice for an extra hour at night."

"Row!"

Zhuo Ding nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Qin Ge rubbed his head, got up and said, "Let's go, eat some fruit... Oh no, go back to the game!"

……

Seeing Qin Ge returning to the training room with Zhuo Ding full of fighting spirit, Yang Shuwei quietly gave a thumbs up.

And the three of Lin Weixiang, also under his guidance, calmed down and accepted today's defeat calmly.

As Qin Ge said, for their rookie team, losing in the regular season is really a good thing.

Losing now is better than losing in the playoffs.

Finding problems in time, correcting them, and making progress is the long-term solution.

After the review is over, it will be free ranking time as usual.

Zhuo Ding found Qin Ge and asked for more training.

Looking at the expectant eyes of his little brother, he had no choice but to release the pigeons of the water friends in the live broadcast room, and accompany Zhuo Ding to contact the line.

The next day, after discussing with Yang Shuwei, Qin Ge and Zeng Junli played rotation in the training match.

The sudden change in lineup and tactics made Zhuo Ding and the others feel very uncomfortable.

At the same time, Zhuo Ding finally felt the pressure and ruthlessness that Qin Ge said.

Especially when the team is at a disadvantage and other teammates cannot stand up, that feeling is even stronger.

Not surprisingly, the training match was lost.

In the second game, Qin Ge replaced Zeng Junli.

For a moment, everyone immediately had a backbone, and the familiar style of play and tactics came back again.

In just 13 minutes, the opponent played GG and quit the game.

In this way of rotation, Zhuo Ding and the others are actually not bad, mainly because it hurts the top laner on the opposite side.

The training opponent they met today is the MVP of the LCK division next door.

After the training match in the afternoon, the top laner ADD was almost depressed.

What's going on with the top laner on the opposite side, why is it so supernatural?

When I got the tank, I was very picky.When you get a fighter hero like Jess, you will instantly become a god of war, and beat him for 7 knives in 60 minutes.

Even if it's training heroes, it's not so outrageous!

It has to be said that this method of playing training games in rotation has achieved good results.

Zhuo Ding and Lin Weixiang, two C positions, gradually began to adapt to carry games alone when the rest of the team could not stand up.

……

……

It was sunny on March 3.

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing the warm-up training, the team members and coaching staff took the bus to Super Brand Plaza.

Today, the opponent they will face is the current leader of Group A, RNG!
