Except for one inconsequential game, the playoff situation is set.

Compared with the beginning of the summer split.

Many things were unexpected by the audience.

For example, in the LCK, many people are puzzled by SKT's "degeneration". The points gained are only enough to compete in the first round, which is not as glorious as the spring split.

It is calculated based on points for the whole year.

SKT needs to win the African team AFS first, and then defeat SSG. Even if they achieve this step, KT still have to win the Summer Championship to get a spot in the World Championship.

certainly.

This is a conservative answer.

Optimists still feel that SKT did not exert its strength in the regular season and will only show its potential in the playoffs. Why does that sentence say, oh, BO5 and BO3 are not the same game.

When news came from next door that LGD defeated IG 2-0 and reached the top with 16 wins, it couldn't help but arouse discussion among the Korean audience.

Or.

It’s hard for the audience not to care.

The 2016 World Championship, the 2017 Mid-Season Championship, the Asian Championship...when LCK meets LGD, they always end up with a bloody head-on collision, without exception.

More importantly, LGD is making great progress in the summer split. P and double C are still exerting their strength, but SKT is a bit unable to keep up.

forum.

People are worried——

[Who can stop LGD from winning the championship? 】

[LPL is too strong this year. 】

[Tarzan, who helped LZ win first place, has played rotation in LGD. 】

[Still in LGD, think about how to win WE first, forget about being treated like a pig and killed in the intercontinental competition? 】

[Who are you calling a pig? 】

[Okay, okay, mocking Faker, right? 】

Under the relevant discussion thread.

It's rare that there are many complaints.

Previously, this was unimaginable.

After all, it was said at that time: Any playoff team that goes to the World Championship can achieve results.

Then they will say that Riot has too few quotas for the LCK. Instead of looking for wild cards to fill the number, it is better to pick two more LCK teams. Only in this way can the competitiveness be demonstrated.

around such topics.

Some people even think that the S game is not as valuable as the winner of the Summer Finals.

after all.

The finals will always be a civil war in the LCK; winning the S championship may not necessarily lead to domination of the league.

This is the confidence that the strong competition area brings to the Korean people.

But all this was exposed by LGD.

It turns out that LCK is not that strong.

It turns out that the LCK has a serious brain drain.

It turns out that LCK has long been out of business.

Khan, Tarzan, Blank, Untara...if you can, the list can be very long.

With LZ taking advantage of the small field, they reached the top and defended the championship.

With media reports and interviews, Korean audiences discovered that so many youth trainees made their debut in the next competition area.

Although there are many people who laugh at the neighbor who has poor eyesight and cannot recognize a thousand-mile horse.

But people who understand will just choose to shut up.

After all, the harsher the ridicule, the more it proves one thing, that is, the Republic of Korea cannot retain so many talents.

This can be seen from Khan’s interview.

If given the chance, he would definitely like to stay in the LCK.

To put it harshly, he is only 16 or 7 years old, who is willing to go overseas to work hard. But there is nothing we can do about it. There are so many students in the youth training camp, and at most four or five will be left.

Take last year's transfer period as an example.

The ten teams in the LCK combined have only promoted a dozen new faces. On average, almost one per team.

certainly.

The actual situation is that SKT, SSG, KT and other giant teams are only willing to use veterans and are not willing to use newcomers. They would rather recruit Huni from the North American region who has experience in competitions than start youth training.

As a head coach.

Kouma knows better than most people whether there are good prospects among the youth trainees.

It's just that no matter how sophisticated the newcomer's skills are, there will always be problems of one kind or another, but the management doesn't like to wait...

SKT club.

A training session ends.

Dun Ma emphasized again: "He has adjusted."

"Impossible." The manager refused.

"He performed better than Untara."

Kuma knew what the management was worried about, but for the sake of results, he promised: "Chengxun (Huni) has realized his mistake. There is only one week left for the playoffs, and he should accept joint training."

"Do you want to be blocked by fans?"

"They just want to see the team perform well. We will prove that in the playoffs."

"What's the proof? Training matches?" the manager sneered at this: "What's the use of being strong in training matches? You can guarantee that he can perform the same in the main game."

"Playing AFS, I'm not worried about getting on the road."

Kuma talked about another matter, "But against SSG, I'm not sure."

For SSG, an old friend.

I know a lot about buckling horses.

He was sure that SSG's strategy was to start from the wing. Unless they are pushed into a desperate situation, SSG will not be centered around midfield this season.

So to solve this trick, you only need to go up and resist SSG's offensive in the jungle. The problem is that he himself has little confidence in Untara.

Although Untara was personally invited to join the team, Kuma knew what he wanted.

Strictly speaking.

He didn't give up on Huni.

To win the Spring Split, Huni's role lies there.

The reason for the decline in status is not a version change, but a mentality issue. When he first met Huni, he felt that Huni was very proud and conceited about his operations.

MSI lost to LGD.

Huni always expressed his dissatisfaction - of course he had the right to be dissatisfied. In that BO5, he rarely had the chance to fight against the real man Langx1V1.

Moreover.

The top laner's record is a bit ugly, and it's usually the jungler's fault. Since he wasn't single-killed, he can still sustain the last hit at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Huni vaguely felt that he could not beat LGD because the opposite mid lane was too good at connecting. Otherwise, why would the coaching staff let Faker take on more command tasks and sacrifice part of the operation.

Although Faker loves to report information, he is usually not the one to make decisions.

Even the fans who scold Xiao Biansheng know this.

For this SKT, most of the laning rhythm is dictated by the jungler, and most of the transition and resource groups are dictated by the auxiliary. So when something went wrong, Peanut was the first to be scolded.

Who said that Peanut is not a direct descendant of SKT?

In the eyes of die-hard fans, he does not have the label of SKT youth training on his head. He is an outsider, and he has disadvantages and lack of rhythm. He does not like to start a team and prefers to be a K-head. In addition to being able to order some food, my teammates always lose in the jungle but not in the jungle.

certainly.

Little Peanut Iron Powder has its own theory.

For example, when the jungle has an advantage, the lane always gives away, especially when Faker's strength in the middle lane has declined, and he can't even suppress BDD in the lane, which has become the backdrop for his fame (the Tsar Baron team opened to double c).

Anyway, the more SKT fans scold the jungler for not protecting his teammates and being a cancer, the more the peanut fans blame his teammates for not knowing how to cooperate with the jungler and always taking lines they shouldn't.

Don’t they have any sense?

Isn't it nice to stay safe online and have a natural advantage in the jungle? Every time the jungler invaded in reverse, and the laners were too aggressive to die, they also felt sorry for Peanut.

"Even if I go to the World Championship, I can only bring one top laner." After a long silence, he said something. He didn't even think about emergency substitutes.

"It's not that I don't believe in your vision." The manager sighed: "It's just that we are very passive about this matter."

Hearing this, Kuuma showed helplessness on his face.

Of course he knows what management is afraid of.

If it weren't for the fan boycott, SKT would not have been able to make mid-game substitutions.

But the horse deduction just wanted Huni to calm down, but the management thought that Untara had not made any mistakes, and there was no reason to replace Untara in the training game.

Even if this is true.

Why.

If a player is substituted at this time, it will give fans the impression that Untara was playing well and was suddenly replaced. Those fans who have scolded Huni will not accept this and are bound to cause trouble again.

As for the so-called worry, in the manager's opinion, it is completely unnecessary.

Even if Huni returns to his training form, will SKT definitely win against SSG? not necessarily.

SSG won 11 games in the Summer Split. Before the Xianglu version, CuVee was in good form. After the Xianglu version, although the top laner's status has fluctuated, Ruler is quite good and the overall performance is still stable.

That being the case.

Why make fans unhappy?

Seeing the stern look on Kuma's face, the manager softened his tone and said, "Even if it's a change, Untara must be given a chance. Only in this way can we avoid provoking anger. Zhengjun, this is not just my intention." The manager pointed at the ceiling.

"Understood."

I rushed out of the office, feeling that everything was not going well. He didn't expect that the management would rather take care of the fans' feelings despite the pressure of falling behind by a small score.

He took the manager's hint.

Knowing that in this playoffs, unless there is a clear gap in the top lane, there is no reason to make substitutions. It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood how much pressure he was under to sign Huni.

He used to just think it was fans being dissatisfied.

Now it seems.

The people above are even less patient.

Too.

After all, Huni is famous in the outer division. If it weren't for the prefix SKT, a few viewers would care about whether a single in the outer division is good.

To put it mildly.

Korean viewers may not know who TSM’s top laner is.

Return to the training room.

Seeing Huni sitting in the corner, silently lining up, I couldn't bear to buckle the horse. Unless he wins the S competition, there will definitely be no place for him next year.

No.

Even if you win the S competition, you may not be able to win.

From fans to management, everyone prefers "their own people". Recruitment is more like mercenaries. You won't necessarily be praised if you perform well, but you will definitely be scolded if you perform poorly.

After thinking about this clearly, he looked at Little Peanut again.

Although Xiao Peanut never complained in person, privately, he knew that Xiao Peanut felt wronged. I recalled in my mind the words relayed by my assistant, "Why do you replace me as soon as the key games come?" After hearing this, I was stunned for a long time.

He didn't expect that the few rotations would be remembered by Little Peanut.

In fact, this sentence is a challenge to the coach's authority.

Personnel rotation is the right of the coaching staff and does not require explanation.

Moreover.

Blank stayed in SKT longer, and he also played as a starter for a period of time. At that time, his substitute was champion jungler Bengi.

He can accept rotation, why can't you.

Of course, he just thought about it, and he wouldn't say it to his face.

After all, he could understand such complaints.

In his eyes, Little Peanut has a character that refuses to show weakness... It's just that Huni's pride is written on his face and expression, and Little Peanut's pride is written in his heart. He never felt the need for Blank's help to find out.

Kuama stood at the door for more than 20 minutes.

It wasn't until the team members glanced this way that they turned around and left.

He suddenly felt a little tired and wanted to take a nap.

He clearly knows that there are many problems in the team that have not been resolved, or that they have not been able to reach a consensus.

I recall the rejection I got when I chased Smeb during the transfer period, I recall the excitement when I turned to the next option and successfully arranged an interview with Huni back home, and I recall the excitement when Little Peanut joined the team on the first day.

At that time, he didn't think it was a big deal.

They lost two to three.

Again.

No one knows who the champion is.

Moreover.

The double C's are still there, and the command position is still there, but most teams don't have a configuration like theirs. He believes that SKT will soon regain its temporarily lost honor.

Sit in the boss chair.

Kuan Ma spent half an hour finishing his homework, recalling the past, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the ceiling.

He found that the nodes that were out of control were all related to LGD.

He did not expect that after Penicillin won the championship, his momentum would be greater than that of the World Championships.

When reviewing the finals, everyone told him that Penicillin relied on pushing the lane to take advantage of the situation, lowering the strength of the lane, and then using his rich roaming experience to help the team build an advantage.

He believed it.

I thought that as long as they learned this kind of three-line coordination, SKT would be great again. As a result, in the Spring Split, Penicillin showed his ability to stand on his own, and began to perform laning suppression, with KDA exceeding 100.

Pre-MSI.

He encouraged the players, saying that although LGD was very strong, as long as they showed their performance in the training games and stabilized their position, there would be plenty of opportunities to find LGD's flaws.

As a result, the middle lane was exploded, Penicillin's Lucian could not stop him, and the one-handed fox even touched key personnel many times.

It is this time.

Only then did he think carefully about Faker's "transformation".

He was weak.

The confrontation between the fox and the rock bird shocked him far more than Lucian. That kind of delicate exchange process is definitely no less than that of Faker, but Penicillin also knows how to connect his teammates.

So, if you can't even win the laning match, how can you restrict Penicillin?

for this.

Penicillin seems to have given the answer.

In last year's finals, Penicillin was stable in the lane and used overall coordination to overwhelm individual abilities.

If Faker can do this, I believe Penicillin has no other solution. As long as you don't have murderous intentions, you can reduce the risk by 90%.

However, being distracted and commanding was not as simple as he thought.

He thought that Faker had more game experience than Penicillin. As long as he stabilized his development and paid more attention to other lanes, he would be able to get started quickly.

He was wrong again.

Although experience is important, it is not the most critical. The most critical thing is the speed of sorting out information. One wave, just a second or two, is enough to decide a lot of things.

"Eh."

"Could Penicillin be born with the ability to multi-task?" This thought came to mind again.

He's up to now.

I still don’t understand why a person can achieve reverse growth. Most league players first rely on operations to stand out, and then slowly accumulate game experience and become familiar with tactical decision-making.

There are people who are good at commanding but average at laning.

But none of them are mid laners.

The mid laner is the position that values ​​talent the most.

What command requires is experience. Many veterans can't score points, but they play the game well. They rely on experience. Know what to do when.

This way.

Dunma is worried about the playoffs.

The next day.

As RNG defeated SS 2-0, it also represented the end of the 2017 LPL summer regular season.

That night.

Major e-sports media have reprinted an official message - [Congratulations to Penicillin for winning the 2017 Summer Regular Season MVP].

In the poster with the LPL logo, Qin Hao is wearing an LGD team uniform and looking straight ahead. Under the photo, Penicillin's ID is outlined in artistic fonts.

This is an award only available in 17 years.

Just set up.

Then the anti-bar shouted that it was full of gold. Just because someone deserves it.
