Chapter 279 I can’t do anything else but copy!
(Well, it turns out that writing game scenes is not something I want to do in this life. I will try not to do it in the future.)
(But even if the answering process of the competition is unreasonable, it is not the reason for me to mess around.)
(I can’t do anything about the LCK coaching staff…)
"Although Xuanqi has come up with a very innovative system, it is obvious that it is still far from enough to overthrow the Big Three that dominate the LPL with just this system!"

"No matter what, Team Xingxin maintained their winning streak in the opening match and flattened Xuanqi's main crystal! GG——"

The signature sound of the Korean commentators shouting "GG" echoed in SKT's main base.

After MSi, Tenghai's e-sports internationalization project has been progressing steadily.

In addition to exclusive interviews and operations with star players such as Lee Sang-hyeok and Xiao Mao, cross-region broadcasts of major competitions are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, for now, most official broadcasts are still one-way.

LPL broadcasts are almost all over the world, but the progress of mutual circulation between other countries, or reverse export from foreign regions back to LPL, is not that fast.

Currently, only LCS and LEC, which have always liked to fight each other, have started broadcasting each other. Anyway, the streams are mainly in English, so there is no need for dedicated commentators.

As for LCK, although MSI only made it to the semi-finals, out of pride in being a "veteran e-sports powerhouse", it has only introduced the Korean broadcast of the LPL Summer Games so far.

At this time, Li Xianghe was sitting in front of the screen, seemingly watching the game attentively, but his whole body looked a little stiff.

The same was probably true for Kim Hyuk-kyu, who was sitting next to him.

The two of them had been accustomed to Chinese-language commentary before the broadcast was introduced, so it was impossible for them to miss the opening game of LPL.

But the problem is——

“Although it doesn’t seem to have produced very good results at the moment, it is still a layout worth referring to!”

"That's right. After all, apart from us, there is no other team that has a mid laner as unstoppable as Ye!"

"Sure enough, when the contestants' personal qualities are good enough, they should be allowed to do whatever they want!"

Not far from them, several members of the training team dressed in suits were taking notes in their notebooks while having a heated discussion.

Seeing that their notebooks were already filled with notes, Li Xianghe didn't know what to say for a moment.

Really... unexpectedly very hardworking...

After MSi ended, in addition to a thorough replacement of the players, another major move by SKT's management was to strengthen the coaching staff.

After SKT's head coach finally succeeded in seizing power from Park Jae-yoon, he naturally needed to support his own forces.

It just so happened that SKT went out this time, although they were carried away by G2, who played a relatively reckless style.
But after all, he was beaten by Fanhua for more than ten rounds in the training match.

Therefore, after the coach returned to South Korea, he immediately asked his superiors to strengthen the coaching staff.

"Even the Fanhua team, which is not known for its operations and tactics in the LPL, was able to beat us with its operations without any chance of fighting back. This shows how bad our coaching system has become."

It has to be said that in today's e-sports field, LPL is indeed a very useful golden signboard.

SKT's top management agreed to this request without much hesitation.

After all, although they are only in the semi-finals, they still reaped the benefits of traffic in MSi, and they also look forward to this team with unlimited potential to go further.

But the problem is, although the higher-ups have loosened their grip, where can we get the reinforcements?
It is obvious that after the extreme lack of attention paid to coaches during the Glory era, it is not easy for LCK to recruit good coaching talents.

The coach thought about it and decided to do it in two steps.

First, they recruited a group of highly educated analysts and some retired e-sports players who were not so famous but urgently needed a job to set up the team.

So how to achieve a tactical breakthrough?

The coach thought hard and finally came up with a good idea.

Isn’t it said that LPL’s tactics are advanced and BP is awesome?

Then it would be reasonable for us, a team in the semi-finals, to learn from them, right?
I have to say, this coach is a wonderful person.

South Korea does not have the same extreme admiration for the strong as Japan. The current atmosphere in the e-sports circle is still in a situation of a mixed battle between South Korea's war wolves and a mixed bag.

All the major teams are also putting in their best efforts, hoping to restore the glory of the e-sports powerhouse in the S game at the end of the year.

At this critical juncture, it may not be a bad thing for the SKT coaching staff to abandon these unnecessary emotions and happily go and learn the LPL's thinking.

It just so happened that the two core players in the team had a deep understanding of LPL, so the coach happily invited the Mapo duo to watch the LPL game, with each of them sitting on a small bench.

Originally, the two were quite happy that the coaching staff had such awareness, and suddenly they felt that they were not alone.

But as I watched, I felt something was wrong.

No...how come you guys are learning the BP of the losing side too?

In the new version, whether it is the body-smelling man being thrown into the jungle or the appearance of semi-AD junglers like Kindred, the jungle position has added many new possibilities.

As for how to adapt to this new ecology, it is obvious that the LPL teams are constantly trying.

For example, in the first game between Xuanqi and Xingxin, they suffered a crushing defeat because their online strength was too weak.

But the SKT coaching team has to record and learn from even such obviously wrong BPs?
seriously?
The coaching staff at this moment is like a rubbish author who has no understanding of the game but has to draw game scenes. They can only press Ctrl+C on the ready-made BP.

Li Xianghe thought for a moment, stood up, walked to the coach who was deep in thought, and said softly: "Actually, there is no need to record Xuanqi's BP. I think Xingxin's idea is very suitable for us."

To some extent, this SKT is really somewhat similar to Xingxin.

Excellent three-way C position, a jungler with certain C protection ability, plus an auxiliary with excellent personal abilities.

Take the system that Xingxin just used, for example, the adaptability is definitely not low.

So why are you always thinking about Xuanqi's weird wild core system?
I thought that now that I had expressed my opinion, the coach would be able to choose the focus of his next thoughts.

But the coach patted Li Xianghe on the shoulder with a smile and said: "You should try all kinds of ideas. It is definitely best to find a version answer."

Li Xianghe wanted to say something, but the coach spoke earnestly and earnestly:

"Sang Hyuk, after the Spring Split, you must have understood how much a team's strength can be improved by adapting to the new version."

“Since we aspire to become the strongest League of Legends team in the world, we should develop the ability to adapt to different versions.”

"In the early version of the summer season, it's clear that heroes like Kindred and Graves have an advantage, so we should try this system, right?"

Adapting to a different...system?
It does seem to make sense.

After all, after being affected by Honor of Kings, a weird game that almost never makes balance adjustments, for many years, most people still lack understanding of the impact of the version.

It was only at this time that Li Xianghe slowly figured out the situation.

Lee Sang-hyeok has no say over the version. If he wants to ensure that SKT can achieve good results in the World Championship, he must ensure that SKT's combat effectiveness will not be constrained by the version.

So practicing some other systems... seems to be a good idea? Li Xianghe pondered the meaning of the coach's words, completely ignoring that he had initially advised the coach not to blindly copy the LPL's BP.

Seeing that Li Xianghe seemed to have taken his boastful words to heart, the coach raised a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

Very good, Sang Hyuk, that's it, follow the coach's instructions and don't go against him.

Although in the spring season, the coach was just a small role in the team who obeyed Park Jae-yoon's orders and had no status.

But ever since Park Jae-yoon left and the team's leadership was taken back, the coach's ambition began to grow quietly.

It happened that at this time, under the leadership of Tencent Esports, each competition area finally began to pay attention to the value of coaches and training teams.

The coach, whose value has skyrocketed, is no longer satisfied with just being a pendant for the big brother in the team.

He needs control over the SKT team.

Even if there is LCK's new idol Lee Sang-hyuk in the team, he still wants him to obey his orders!

For someone like him who is good at infighting and scheming, even if Li Xianghe has never been interested in these things, he has to find his authority on the other party from time to time.

But when Li Xianghe approached the coach and tried to persuade him to change his tactical thinking,
The first thing the coach thought about was not whether he was wrong or not, but that his authority should not be affected.

Even if you are wrong, you must carry out it firmly!
Therefore, he would rather cram a few not-so-outstanding idiots into the training and competition team to ensure that his words are effective.

Therefore, even if what Lee Sang-hyeok said is indeed the best solution for SKT at the moment, he will never give in.

Even if you are the future king of LCK, you must obey the coach's arrangements!
As for BP... LPL is so strong anyway, no matter how bad it is, it can't be that bad, right?
Li Xianghe finally agreed with the coach's statement and sat back thoughtfully.

The coach was quite satisfied with his cooperation.

But he didn't expect that these few nonsense words he uttered would actually make Li Xianghe take it to heart.

That night.

"Let's train the Qianjue system!" Li Xianghe said to the team members seriously.

Everyone looked at each other, especially Bengi, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears?
As an older player, Bengi is already 20 years old and has been in the professional circle for several years, so he knows his own limitations.

He knew very well that SKT recruited him because of his ability to set the pace and his outstanding ability to protect his team.

His position in SKT is to protect Lee Sang-hyuk.

But watching this training match, his big brother actually seriously gestured to him to get Kindred, and then he happily picked Lulu. Bengi always felt that it was a bit mysterious.

Bengi looked at the coach helplessly, hoping that he would stop Faker's impulse, but he saw the coach's approval.

"Xingxiong, don't feel pressured, we all believe in you!" Seeing Bengi asking for help, he cheered her on with an encouraging look on his face.

bengi people are numb.

In his opinion, although adapting to the version is indeed important, with a player of Faker's level in the team, are they really that afraid of version sanctions?

And in this version, focusing on the middle lane isn't a backward tactic, right?
But since the two people with the most say in the team have spoken, he can only go ahead with it.

then……

……

A few days later, the LCK opened with a match. Since the match started later than the LPL and SKT went home early after the semi-finals, there was no need to adjust the schedule like Fanhua.

SKT faced the newly reorganized SSG team in the opening match.

SSG naturally gave the highest respect to Faker. Pawn tensed his nerves, ready to fight Faker in the middle lane.

Then SKT happily put out a lineup with Kindred as the jungler and Lulu as the mid laner.

SSG didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

So this game was somewhat similar to the opening game next door. Pawn's Corki was very powerful, dealing more than 40,000 damage and dominating the entire game.

Although Bengi has been working very hard to practice Kindred, there is still an inevitable odor when he takes it out temporarily.

The experienced Ambition naturally couldn't ignore this point. While muttering in his heart what the hell Bengi was doing, he used a Lee Sin to catch SKT like a sieve.

In the first game, the new world fourth place lost in a somewhat undignified way.

Luckily, although the coach loves to engage in internal fighting, he is not stubborn.

Seeing that this approach didn't work, they immediately slid to their knees and obediently played the system that SKT is currently best at.

SKT regained its familiar C-protecting lineup, and its subsequent performance was much smoother.

bengi knew what he should do, and Faker, who got the core mage, took up the banner of the team.

In addition, Deft's Lucian exploded in two consecutive games, with double-digit kills and one immortality, which enabled him to successfully win two games 2:1 and avoid a black start.

In the post-match interview, when asked why he chose such a strange lineup, the coach who was good at Tai Chi continued to use his set of big principles to fool people, saying that SKT wanted to become a team that could adapt to different versions of the game.

By the way, he subtly attributed the defeat to the fact that the new system had not yet been well-adjusted and the poor performance of the players.

By the way, they secretly used the example of LPL as a shield.

After this series of operations, the media were fooled by him and were immediately impressed by the foresight of the SKT coaching team.

After that, all kinds of exaggerated reports suddenly became popular.

As for SKT, after the game, Bengi almost hugged Lee Sang-hyeok's thigh and begged him with tears and snot to worry about his lineups in those versions. As long as the big brother can play comfortably, the effect will be better than any version blessing.

In addition, in order to ensure that SKT's performance is not affected, the coach also appropriately persuaded Lee Sang-hyuk not to act too hastily.

It was as if the one who instilled Lee Sang-hyuk's version of thinking was not him at all.

Anyway, changing tactics is just a way for him to establish his authority. He has almost put all the blame for the failure on himself, so he just throws it away.

His teammates and coach advised him to give up, and even though Li Xianghe was still unwilling to give up, he had to give up this overly difficult idea and just play according to his previous ideas.

But a seed had already been planted in his heart...

　The first update will be available soon.

　　The description of this game is so dizzying. I admit that I don't really understand it very well, but for the BP and game process, I basically referred to existing games and didn't make up stories.

　　If you want to blame someone, blame the LCK training team.
