Chapter 233 SKT lost, but Faker did not lose!

"This fighting style..."

In the flowery training room, Tian Sen and Xi Ye, the two mid laners, looked at each other and finally sighed:
"I'm jealous--"

What they were watching at this moment was the game recording of SKT next door.

The two rounds of the competition are almost over, and the qualifying situation for the semi-finals has almost stabilized.

Fanhua has played all ten games, winning all 10-0, and brought their dominance in the group stage to the confrontation match.

Except for G2, which gained the early advantage with great difficulty in the first match against Fanhua, no other team could get away with it in front of Fanhua.

The fully liberated Fanhua is an outright monster in this era when everyone is still figuring out how to play.

Unstoppable strong laning, a single-lane system that has gradually matured through continuous training and research, and a diverse hero pool.

There is no solution when fighting.

Just to tell you a joke, at present, Fanhua's relatively not so outstanding mid-lane position is on the same level as G2's ace Xiaomao and SKT's ace Faker.

Currently, the only team that can gain an advantage over Fanhua is G7, which is ranked second in the group with a score of 3-2.

And this point was achieved largely because Fanhua was a little too proud.

After playing too many crushing games, Mo Fan became more and more bold in his invasions. When Xiye failed to suppress CAPS, he rashly entered the jungle to cause trouble, but was arrested on the spot by Yang.

The scene was so funny that some fans suspected that Mo Fan had drunk too much last night.

With Mo Fan's small advantage at the beginning, G2 quickly began to accumulate rhythm, and Yangkousi's multi-directional attacks put considerable pressure on Fanhua's laning phase.

But just when the European fans started to shout "Today", Sun Zheping, who had laughed at Mo Fan for three minutes in the internal voice chat, finally recovered.

He is not some famous anchor who is a loser who can be beaten to 398 dollars just by playing Wunder.

Wunder, who can show off in front of Park Jae-yoon and fight back and forth in front of Impact, can only be described with one adjective in front of Son Zhe-pyong: toy.

With two consecutive solo kills in the top lane without the jungler even looking at him, the little rhythm advantage that Jankos had worked so hard to gain was instantly given back.

Then comes the killing rhythm that all the fans of Fanhua are almost tired of.

To be honest, although the vast majority of LPL fans were full of expectations for Fanhua, they really had no idea what kind of results they could achieve in MSI.

After all, not everyone has the ability to judge a team's level from the video.

As a result, when the MSI started, I thought it was basketball, but it turned out to be table tennis?
The big devil turned out to be me?
Suddenly the country was filled with a happy atmosphere.

However, despite saying this, due to decades of vigilance and attention in Europe and the United States, fans are still cautiously optimistic about the prospects of Fanhua.

After all, judging from the live broadcast of the competition, both G2 and C9 were obviously avoiding the attack when facing Fanhua.

And no new tactics were revealed.

It looks like he's hiding something.

Therefore, after the game, Fanhua worked overtime to study the game videos of several opponents.

The one that we value the most is our younger brother SKT, with whom we have played many training games.

The impression that the SKT team has left on all viewers and colleagues can be simply summarized in four words: unknown strength.

They were beaten badly by C9 in the group stage, but in the blink of an eye they were able to win the second round easily.

Although they started the competition with three consecutive losses, they were able to quickly regain their form and even had a very exciting second match with Fanhua.

The scene where Faker and Xiye paid tribute to each other with their solo kills has become one of the famous scenes of this MSI.

The duel between these two guys in the middle lane is recognized to be exciting.

It is precisely because of this fluctuating strength that Fanhua attaches great importance to them. Even though Tao has played enough training matches, he still often studies SKT.

It would have been fine if they hadn't studied it, but once they did, they were shocked.

SKT's double C data...why are they so scary?

Despite only ranking third in wins, SKT's mid and top duo's statistics were incredibly impressive.

Especially in the middle lane, if all the data were made into a radar chart, then Li Xianghe's radar chart almost completely surrounded Xiye.

Except for the two games against Fanhua and Xiye where we killed each other and caused some deaths, the other games even had close to zero deaths.

For a moment, it seemed as if he was the true No. 1 mid laner in MSI.

This data was not even summarized by Fanhua, but released by a number of e-sports media.

Many LCK fans were immediately excited when they saw the data column.

Faker is never weaker than anyone!
If it weren’t for the problem with my teammates, I would have killed them all long ago!

SKT lost, but Faker did not lose!

The public opinion environment is so good, at least Fanhua has never seen it in her life.

Praising for winning and scolding for losing has always been the only rule in the field of e-sports. During the period when Fanhua was suppressed by Xingxin, she also received a lot of scolding from fans.

Is it still possible to play like this?
Who is the winning team?

This made Xiye anxious, and he pulled Tian Sen to find the game video to watch.

Tian Sen himself is not the type who is too dominant, but he has participated in training matches with Lee Sang-hyuk and is also curious about how he can have such terrifying data.

You pull me and I pull him, and just before the match with C9, who ranked fourth in the competition, everyone in Fanhua watched the video of SKT, which might not be able to beat G2. This made Xiye's eyes turn red.

jealous.

No, how could he be treated so well?

As we all know, Fanhua's tactics are very flexible, and the core of security will change at any time according to the situation.

But it is undeniable that in front of a group of big brothers and jungle brothers who do their own thing, there are indeed not many games with Xiye as the core.

How were Faker and Deft treated in these games?

All in all, Xiye has never seen it.

Not only were all the resources tilted, but the jungler Blank and the top laner IPX were also sucked to the point of being skinny.
Moreover, when fighting in a team, it would be more accurate to say that SKT is protecting their big brother to gain stats rather than fighting in a team.

It doesn’t matter whether you can win the team or not, it doesn’t matter whether you can fight for resources or not, as long as the big brother can deal some damage, get some kills and assists without dying, it’s considered a victory.

However, they only used this style of play in the second game against Fanhua. Anyway, all the teams were beaten badly when facing Fanhua, so it was not a big deal for them to maintain their KDA.

At other times, although it is obvious that the double C is protected, this is actually SKT's current core tactic.

With so many victories along the way, not many people questioned it.

But Fanhua naturally couldn't miss such information.

"No, why does he deserve such good treatment? The whole team treats him like a dad?" Xiye's eyes turned red.

With this method, if he were to go up there, he would also be able to get first place!

As the radar chart was released by some bloggers, some people have begun to question whether Faker is the best mid laner in MSI.

This made Xiye so angry.

I have never lost a game against him!

"Okay, the game has already started, so what's wrong with brushing up some stats? Let's take the final championship trophy back, isn't that more satisfying than just those stats?" Sun Zheping said leisurely.

SKT has resorted to a strategy to protect its KDA, and it is clear that they have given up hope of defeating Fanhua.

I have lost all my fighting spirit. Is there any need to pay attention to such an opponent?

"But Xiao Li and Xiao Jin themselves seem to be not quite used to this style of play. They are the only two in the entire team who want to win." Zhang Jiale commented as he observed the movements of the SKT players.

Logically speaking, since KDA is maintained, the playing style should be more conservative.

However, the positioning and skill release of SKT's two Cs were clearly aimed at winning the team.

Even Deft tried to trade one for one with Zhang Jiale in order to deal more damage, but failed. His KDA, which he had managed to maintain, dropped significantly.

“In my opinion, it’s most likely that SKT officials want to create stars and let the two children brush up their stats, but the children are innocent after all and can’t adapt.” Lu Liang hit the nail on the head.

He briefly introduced his understanding of the current situation of e-sports in South Korea.

"Is that so? Then isn't LCK a pit?" Zhang Jiale exclaimed in amazement.

"If they still insist on operating e-sports as Korean entertainment idols, then it is true." Lu Liang did not comment.

Sun Zheping frowned slightly as he looked at the two young men in the picture who were still trying their best in desperate situations.

After a long time, he suddenly spoke:
"Do you think it's possible to get them out of this devil's den?"

"...You mean a transfer across regions?" Lu Liang was stunned, thought about it, and shook his head, "Not likely."

"It's obvious that he is the future ace of LCK. How can we let him go so easily?"

"But if they continue like this, I'm afraid they will gradually become like Park Ben, and good talents will be wasted."

Lu Liang was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he replied:

"... Different people have different choices."

"If they are really ambitious enough, maybe one of the teams will be able to take advantage of this huge bargain."

Regarding the current situation of LCK, he can only say that it is almost impossible to change it from within.

If Lee Sang-hyuk and Kim Hyuk-kyu still want to make a breakthrough in the pure field of e-sports, perhaps they really need to consider other ways out.

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiale also became interested.

"How about I find some time to talk to my little fans?" He chuckled with ill intentions.

"What? Do you want to abdicate and find Xiao Jin to take over?" Sun Zhe rolled his eyes at him.

"That's not the case. It's just to lay some traps for the next game!" Zhang Jiale shook his head.

He recognized the strength and potential of the Mapo Double C, and they were definitely qualified to pursue the top of the world.

It seems a bit of a pity to throw such talents to the LCK, which is wasting natural resources.

Even if we can't get the flowers, it seems like it would be nice to plant some seeds of broken trust in them, right?
I just don’t know when the seeds will sprout, bloom and bear fruit, and which team will pick this sweet fruit.

　Second update, good night everyone.

　　Monthly call ticket.
