Chapter 402: Preparing to Return to the Team

"Hello everyone, this is OGN TV station...Due to the poor performance in the new season, SKT fans rented two trucks and parked them on the side of the road diagonally opposite the SKT base to express their dissatisfaction."

There was no strange emotion in the tone of the reporter's report.

The camera turned.

in the released video.

A group of people wearing SKT team uniforms gathered around the truck, allowing passers-by to take pictures with their mobile phones, shouting one or two slogans from time to time.

at the same time.

Because the word "truck" easily triggers the audience's imagination.

Relying on the Korean students on site, Kangba also turned on the spectator mode.

suddenly.

The electronic screen on the truck caught Qin Hao's attention.

With the help of international students and Youdao translators.

There are roughly three sentences written on it.

1: SKT (2012~2017), a great e-sports club and a variety entertainment company;

Two: Why sign a coaching staff that has not been tested in actual combat;

Three: Did Blank deflect a nuclear bomb for management?

have to say.

The direction given by fans is very clear.

The reason why they broke through the defense was that there were too many tricks during the transfer period in the past two years.

And losing to the aircraft team was just the last straw that broke the bridge of trust——

Although the loss was ugly, it was not unacceptable. It was only the regular season anyway. The most difficult thing here is that the management's commitment is the same as Shi's.

After winning the championship in 2015, they obviously wanted SKT to go global and become a "century-old club."

So what have you been doing with transfers in the past two years?

1gi and Duke are running away, please hire Huni and Peanut. At the end of 2017, they will duke the horse and Peanut running away, and promote King T and Effort...

so.

Is this what makes SKT greater?

After the second consecutive championship, the investment became less and less, and the configuration for the new season became double C and three newcomers.

You know, no matter how good Huni is, he has done 80,000 damage with Rambo. No matter how good Little Peanut is, he can at least win the league.

No matter what.

In the 2017 playoffs, they had a series of three, and as the second seed, they fought hard to defeat RNG and WE, preventing the Bird's Nest from turning into an LPL civil war.

With this record, how can S8 replicate it?

Relying on Effort, who is a mess in starting a team, or relying on the two kings who rotate in single rotation... We can't expect Wolf to switch to the jungle and live a second life.

Erlianya didn’t rent a truck, so why did he rent a truck for the new season?

It's not management's fart.

When reviewing the failure, Mengmeng gave fans confidence.

Including but not limited to the fact that Effort was heavily promoted during the transfer period, and the press releases were flying all over the place, almost marketing Effort as a more awesome genius than Wolf, and the result was that the game was dizzy.

According to a big fan of Faker, the reason why Shuanglonghui failed to end the game was that Effort was too hasty in his command and did not wait for the two lines of troops to advance together.

This is a support that has a huge lead and doesn't know how to win.

Can it surpass Wolf?

suddenly.

There was a man wearing a black and white striped shirt that attracted the attention of all the onlookers.

He took out a loudspeaker from nowhere and shouted angrily: "The management must give us a response!!

After talking about revenge for 2 years, there is zero operation during the transfer period!

Let me tell you, if you don’t care, we will continue to block it tomorrow. If you don’t care tomorrow, we will block it for a month. We have plenty of patience! "

"Yes, you guys are occupying the toilet. Apart from asking the team members to perform in variety shows and take care of business, have you ever done anything serious?"

"RNM!"

The overly impulsive expressions of several boys made the manager standing in front of the glass window on the third floor look sad.

Not long after.

The civil police came.

Loudspeakers were urged to be put away, and trucks were not allowed to block the road. Several fans watched this scene and continued to curse at the management.

No more big scenes.

Qin Hao withdrew from the fight.

From an outsider's perspective, he can understand SKT fans.

After all, we have to break up the team.

SKT is no better than LGD, and compared to the former, LGD's focus has always been the turret.

By three o'clock in the afternoon.

Word of the truck incident spread.

Passers-by at home and abroad enjoyed watching SKT fans vent their dissatisfaction.

At this moment, SKT officially issued a notice, saying that it understood the fans' feelings of protecting the players, and then recalled the good times in the past, believing that the poor performance in the new season was not due to inaction of the managers.

Finally, they strongly protested against this method of blocking doors and disturbing people, feeling that it would have a bad impact...

all in all.

SKT complained a lot, but actually didn't give any answers.

Apart from having a good attitude and being willing to talk to fans, the rest of the answers are hard to satisfy.

Resist it.

In response to this matter, the yellow cards discussed hotly:

[Laughing, I just saw someone missing Hu Burou, saying that Huni and Xiaohuahua are still there, so it is absolutely impossible to fill them up. 】

[This is nothing, there are still many people standing up and saying that the BP of deducting horses... is not that bad. 】

[Haha, whitewashing really depends on foil! This T King only played 2 BO3s, but Huni looked pretty. 】

[I didn’t expect SKT to be so weak. Not to mention the 94-minute fierce battle with the aircraft team, the result was a loss. 】

[This little support is really not good. Except for Tahm who plays well, I don’t see any strong points. 】

[SKT blames the coach every day, no good guy can stay in that company. 】

[The management really did nothing this year. ]

Unlike the crazy ridicule in the anti-bar, there are many people on Twitter who have given advice.

[There is only one way to save SKT, one against four, build a team around Faker. ]

[Although my idol is King of life, I want to say that Faker really needs to learn from the next door and take the command into his own hands - the third game with JAG has proved to the world that Effotr's judgment is seriously insufficient. ]

[Now Wolf is depressed, the new version is not friendly to Bang, Faker is in a slump... Such SKT cannot be solved by replacing a jungler. If it wants to change, it can only be torn down and rebuilt. ]

[I remember that during the transfer period, there were Korean netizens who said that this was SKT's only chance to beat Penicillin. Now it seems that SKT is far inferior to TOP. Does this prove that Penicillin's ability to lead a team is far better than Faker's -

Didn't you notice that TOP also led 3 with 2, 2 world-class players in the midfield and jungle led three players who had not been tempered in major competitions. The problem is that TOP's game content is far more normal than SKT.

At least TOP will never fight with a loser for more than 90 minutes in his life... Do you understand what I mean? 】

This comment attracted many European and American commentators to like it.

Commentator Achillos even tweeted continuously to express his thoughts: "You know, I'm not a Qing fan, but everyone who has watched LGD's games knows that without Penicillin, PYL has declined seriously. In other words, his previous performance was abnormal."

"Many people underestimate the help Penicillin brings to the team, thinking that he is just a strong commander and delicate in laning.

But let me say that I think he is more like a stabilizing force. As long as he sits there, he can give his teammates strength."

Commentator Kobe tweeted: "I agree with Achillos's opinion. This is a team game, and how to make teammates keep up with themselves is equally important-

SKT is so sluggish in the new season because the top, jungle and support can't keep up with the game rhythm in the middle lane. Looking at TOP with this question, their operations are normal.

I think it should be No one thinks Mark's talent is comparable to Effort's. But Effort and Faker work together... I believe you have seen the actual results.

Such a rookie support with outstanding laning is actually qualified to stand on the S stage. "

LCS commentator Froskurinn tweeted: "It's simple. The whole world is learning the Korean operation concept and putting stop loss into a compulsory course.

So, you either admit that Penicillin is good at leading the team, or admit that the LCK coaching staff is not as good as the LPL... Of course, this is impossible. The coaching staff plays a big role, but not this big. "

Former mid-lane player Alexich tweeted: "Has no one noticed IG and RW? Their games are equally exciting.

I mean, this year's LPL is much more interesting than LCK. There is rarely any drag."

The topic of discussion on Twitter.

It is not limited to SKT getting worse year by year.

In the past, the strong team confrontations in LCK would definitely be used as teaching materials by other coaching staffs to learn how to snowball, how to block, and how to control vision.

But as the former European King of France Alexich said.

Since 2017, LCK has fallen into the operational logic of avoiding confrontation. It seems that they think that not confronting can lead the economy, which is the best understanding of the game.

The problem is that such an understanding did not bring LCK the championship. It even made the audience's viewing experience extremely bad. No one wants to see two teams huffing and puffing to eat the line, 15 minutes without a kill, and the game ends in 90 minutes.

Of course.

This example is more extreme.

But it is also true that LCK has not been eye-catching in the past two years.

From the censer to the development of new runes, LCK has always been behind LPL. The key is that the new season has a major revision. Other regions are fighting, but LCK is still avoiding confrontation like S7.

With the participation of authoritative people.

The Korean netizens who received various feedbacks were somewhat broken.

Saying that LCK is not good is no different from stepping on their lifeblood.

After all, they don’t have many things to brag about, and they regard each one as a treasure.

"No, let Kouma come back. I can't stand it."

"Idiotic operations, shitty push."

"What happened to Wolf's body?"

"Sad, LCK's overseas ratings are going to be surpassed by LPL."

When the Korean Internet was crying.

7pm.

The management and coaching staff gathered in the conference room.

As a new head coach, Fu Manduo was in tears.

He was a member of a champion team who turned coach. He had coached the second team for a year before and coached VG for a year in S7. As a result, he encountered these things as soon as he took over the first team.

Fans scolded him for not understanding the game.

What can he do.

Blank was under so much pressure that he went to see a psychologist. Faker was in a normal state and couldn't play an advantage. It was relatively easy to get along in the bottom lane in this version. Bang could only play in team battles. The top laner just came to the rich team and fainted in the training game...

Please.

He is just a coach.

Not a god.

Fans felt uncomfortable watching him, and he was also suffering in the background.

The day before yesterday, when playing against JAG, he wanted to play himself, but the problem was that he was not qualified to touch the keyboard and couldn't remind the players how to play.

“Maybe I’m not suited for this job.”

Being blocked by trucks and being criticized by fans for not being tested in actual combat, Fumanduo couldn't get excited at all.

He felt that the coaching job was not as simple as he thought. At least the players would take the blame back then because they were in poor condition, but now it was completely unreasonable.

"Don't say such angry words."

The manager winked, and Bengi advised: "Losing the game is not your fault. Cheer up, Zhengxian."

"alright."

The manager tapped the table gently, "Our job now is to twist the rope. If we don't even have the courage, how can the team members win?"

He looked at Fumanduo and Bengi: "Yesterday Effort went to the lying psychological consultation room and finished talking to JAG. Now he doesn't dare to make some risky decisions.

In this regard, you should help him lighten his burden and encourage him to speak. "

Live in a wealthy family.

The smallest thing can trigger a tsunami.

The manager is now worried that the players will fall into various negative emotions due to pressure.

Target this.

Bengi made a suggestion: "Some of what we talked about last year was correct. If we want to reduce the command pressure on the team, we have to let Brother Xiang He change his style."

The manager complained: "How can you operate well when you are always concerned about what your teammates are saying? Have you forgotten last year's summer split?"

In the second half of last summer's split, I tried to get Faker to participate more in the command, but as a result, there were more mistakes in the middle, and the team still couldn't find the feeling of winning.

"But... the game experience is there, the most important thing is-" Bengi emphasized: "Speak in the middle, and others will not hesitate.

I admit that I didn’t do that well in some rounds, but if I listened to the command and leaned forward, I could actually win. "

This is the psychological feeling brought to Bengi after being overturned in the 94th minute. When things go wrong, everyone is thinking of ideas.

Even though my ears are listening.

But they expressed their distrust of Effort through actions. For example, during that wave, although the support did not wait for the line, what Effort thought was that the Ancient Dragon only had one and a half minutes left, so he quickly started the team and reduced the number of players to end the wave.

The result was a fight.

The mid laner was relatively behind, and the top laner was waiting for the cannon truck to grind the tower. After talking about jumping, only the jungler rushed forward, and even Effort himself hesitated.

Review later.

Effort also tactfully said that the middle position is not good, and he is afraid that the formation will be too bad... OK, if we have the same idea in those waves, even if there is no wave, we can break the high ground and threaten the front teeth 10 minutes in advance, and the subsequent script will definitely be different.

The manager thought for a while and looked at Fumanduo, "Zhengxian, what do you mean?"

"I also think it's better to let the center take charge."

"It's not a question of whether we're in good shape or not, but it's a mess when we play."

"But I'm worried..."

The manager recalled the poor performance in the midfield last summer, which led to the management being criticized, and he was slightly worried: "Transformation means increased instability. In addition, being the commander in the middle will definitely get better?

Except for Penicillin who proved himself, Nosuke directed the others to win the championship. "

"No matter how bad it is, it won't get any worse."

Another voiced: “Are we really qualified to represent the division this season?

If not, instead of just sitting back and preparing for next season, it is better to give Faker time to transform. One thing is true: we cannot expect the 22-year-old Faker to perform as well as the 17-year-old.

What's more, when Penicillin first debuted, it didn't have the same level of operation as it does now. This direction is right. "

"You all agree?"

Bengi was the first to nod. He always believed that Sang Hyuk could create miracles.

Wait until the meeting is over.

When Effort heard the latest advice given by the coaching staff, for a moment, Effort was disappointed and grateful at the same time.

The reason for the disappointment is that the auxiliary position does not require money, and you have more time to observe the map and figure out the opponent's attack direction, so I feel a bit embarrassed;

Fortunately, there is a big brother in the team to share the pressure. During the review, everyone will not be looking at him, waiting for his explanation.

But sleep at night.

Effort still feels a little empty when he thinks that he is not the main conductor.

Before he became a professional player, he watched SKT lose 3-2 to LGD. At that time, he wanted to go up and do something, but he never expected it to be this way.

This night.

Effort was so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep.

There is a question that comes to my mind repeatedly - what should I do if my decision-making goes against Faker? Is an assistant who speaks and no one listens still a qualified assistant?

He doesn't understand.

He only felt that his ability was questioned, which was more uncomfortable than being scolded by fans.

~~~

SKT is preparing to catch the mole.

The buckler knows the same thing.

It seems that since TOP's debut started the stopwatch craze, managers have been chatting with him, including Bengi, who retired and turned into an assistant coach.

he knows.

My thoughts are correct.

In e-sports, only the results are real, and everything else is fake.

If he doesn't go well in TOP and SKT usher in the spring, then he will be ridiculed by the entire network for his poor vision and will be nothing if he leaves SKT.

certainly.

He didn't expect that SKT was struggling so much now.

Although he had talked with the management before he decided to take a break, he knew that the management did not want to find "foreign players" and planned to use youth training. At that time, he felt that the results in the new season might not be good, but... he really didn't expect it to be so bad.

but.

These have nothing to do with him for now.

He has experienced this matter of improving his reputation many times. Anyway, he is scolded every time he performs poorly, but he is whitewashed when he wins the championship.

And as KZ and KT show their dominance in the league.

It is the fourth day of the Chinese New Year.

Qin Hao ended his live broadcast without showing his face and logged into Weibo to update his schedule——

[Everyone, I will return to the base tomorrow, no need to wait for the live broadcast. 】

There was a lot of wailing below.

[I am dying without PP. 】

[What time did you book the flight. 】

[Come on, big brother who can play cards. 】

[What skin did you choose. 】

[Have you heard about SKT recently? 】

[Have you played a training match with SKT? Can you reveal some inside information? 】

[Mata is the best support I have ever seen, and Effort is the best support I have ever heard of. 】

The netizens gathered in the comment area to communicate, and they didn’t think they would be flipped.

As a result, under this comment mocking Effort, Penicillin himself answered——

[Cooperation needs to be cultivated. Sometimes, it is difficult to be a support. 】

"Damn!"

"Capture Qingshen."

"What do you mean by that? Are you hinting at conflicts within the SKT team? I was wondering why there were so many mistakes in that game. Someone didn't want to win, right?"

"It's a pity that they didn't play the team voice chat. I really want to hear what they said."
