Chapter 497 I Have to Be Proud of This

Compared to Berlin, the outdoor environment in Paris is much more pleasant.

Sitting on the balcony of the hotel, basking in the sun at three or four o'clock, eating the pastries provided by the hotel, Mark saw an interesting post and tilted his head to look at Qin Hao: "The Lightning Wolves are very low-key this time."

As he said, Mark handed the phone to Qin Hao, muttering: "I thought they would be very tough."

Mark has a bad impression of Taiwan.

I remember that it was held in China last year, and Taiwan also hinted that Riot customized the version and guided the reduction of the core mage to help LPL win the championship.

In addition, Maple always cuts off the line with Xiaohu in the interview, and his words and deeds seem to look down on Xiaohu, which makes Mark think that everyone in Taiwan is a strong talker.

Unexpectedly, in this semi-final match, the attitude of Flash Wolves is very low.

Took the phone.

Qin Hao understood why Mark sighed.

Because in this interview, Snake first talked about the gap with other regions, saying that his side is relatively rough and was surprised by FNC's line switching.

Then we talked about the rise of the European division. Sheshe said that FNC would be a top-tier team in LPL. Whether it is tactical reserves or line execution, they all have the appearance of a strong team.

"Swordart is like this."

Qin Hao has worked with Karsa before and learned a lot from him, "He is... easy to get along with."

Hearing Sheshe's ID.

Guo Hao suddenly remembered something: "Do you know that SN is going to sign him?" Recently, Sheshe has frequently shown goodwill and praised LPL in interviews.

Of course.

Sheshe has a good personality and is one of the few people who are willing to admit their shortcomings. It should be said that most professional players have complete hardware levels, but have difficulty installing software.

Just in terms of psychological quality.

Most professional players are lazy and autistic, easy to drift and easy to be gluttonous, which is a major problem in the entire e-sports circle.

After all, people like Uzi who entered the professional field at the age of 15 are far less mentally competent than adults. So some of the things they do are very stupid in the eyes of adults.

But even the e-sports players in their prime years are mostly around 20 years old, and they are still impatient and irritable, and they will easily quarrel with teammates and coaches.

When they are unhappy, they will go on strike and play badly, threatening the club to hurt their career path. It may seem stupid to outsiders, but it is very common in the circle.

Because they don’t have the right judgment on many things, they always think they are still young.

In Karsa’s eyes, Sheshe is a person who can withstand pressure better than him.

Maybe after being abused in 5 consecutive training games, Karsa will be a little angry and can’t stand it, but Sheshe can still loudly command his teammates and frantically BB teammates to pay attention to key skills. He never gets discouraged or gives up.

So when Qin Hao heard that SN wanted to sign Sheshe, he was not surprised that Sheshe would be valued. He was just a little surprised: "Didn’t you say that he would stay with Flash Wolves last year?"

Karsa ran away before the summer game. When Sheshe was interviewed, he also emphasized that Flash Wolves treated him very well, and he looked proud of Flash Wolves.

"Because there is no money, Flash Wolves can't afford it."

As a team manager, Guo Hao has dealt with other clubs a lot and has a lot of high-level information:

"And next year, LMS will lose its qualification as an independent division. Their investment and e-sports market have been shrinking, which makes Riot very dissatisfied.

In order to save the number of live broadcasts, improve the level of competition, and create a more attractive experience for the audience, Riot cannot accept the long-term decline of LMS.

Do you know that the peak of LMS this year is less than 150,000, which is more than three-quarters lower than S5. Just like this, why should Flash Wolves invest more?"

The results are poor, old audiences don't like to watch, and new audiences are unwilling to join. In such a vicious cycle, LMS can no longer operate as an independent division.

This plan has entered the draft stage, and basically everyone in Taiwan who should have heard about it knows it.

Once the league is co-organized with other regions, offline peripheral businesses will definitely suffer a serious blow. At that time, all the games will be online. How can we cheer on the scene?

Without such support.

The fun of playing games will be greatly reduced.

For a professional player like Snake, there is definitely some talk about the expiration of the contract, and there is no need to flirt with SN in advance.

The problem is that Flash Wolves want to hold back on the contract, and the external environment is bad. In addition, Karsa won the S-League trophy half a year after leaving, which gives him some illusions.

[Is it possible that the poor performance in the S-League is not due to personal strength, but the overall limitation of his performance? ]

If he stays in Flash Wolves.

Karsa will never be able to play map control in his life. Because Flash Wolves need him to take the initiative to attack and take risks, and the online jungle environment cannot provide such a stable environment.

Qin Hao thought of Big Wolf: "Snake joined SN... Big Wolf is happy." He said happily: "Their team has no shortage of thugs, only Barun is missing, and sometimes he is needed to command."

The team leader muttered: "SN management is split from the original FW. Oh, their coach is also."

Guo Hao nodded: "So I said that Snake is likely to sign, and he will be familiar with everyone, and SN can enter the playoffs and have a chance to compete."

"In the past two years, many people have joined Flash Wolves."

"JD and SN are both strengthening, and the competition in the summer season will only be higher, not lower."

JD wants to sign Zoom, who is ready to fight, and SN wants to strengthen the command and sort out the resource rhythm. From this point of view, the summer season is very comfortable.

As a professional player.

Qin Hao did not feel that the situation had changed, but was looking forward to it. He hoped that LPL would become stronger and stronger, instead of only two or three teams competing, and the others could only run along and go through the motions.

After a while.

Qin Hao finished his pastry and went back to the training room. Seeing him come in, GimGoon said, "Ah Qing, help me look at this line."

GimGoon spoke with an accent.

So much so that Qin Hao did not know whether he was calling "Ah Qin" or "Ah Qing".

But it didn't matter. When Gongzi was happy, he would follow Mark and call him Haoshen. As the saying goes, different names for different scenes, just get used to it.

"What line?"

"You do it."

Entering the knockout stage, GimGoon is still seeking to increase his proficiency. Maybe in the eyes of others, Top's top lane can never be banned.

It is impossible for someone to ban the top lane five times.

But... his goal is not to satisfy, but to exceed. Moreover, hard training in daily life requires some emotional value. In addition to visible victories and contract growth, what can keep him going is the daily progress bit by bit.

"I feel like I can't make mistakes, otherwise I can't beat Crow. The same is true after level 6. Unless I turn full health and look for it, I will lose the line in the fight."

As he said, Jin Gong created a battle and pulled Qin Hao in: "You (Gnar) play better than me, help me see how to play."

This group match.

Crow only played 3 times, not very popular.

But this hero is not afraid of heroes such as Kennen, Gnar, Karma, and Vampire who rely on long arms to consume, and it is good to fight tanks, stack soul shards steadily in the line, and use a big in the vanguard group, which can well block the front row from entering the field.

In addition, Crow is basically selected in the third and fourth floors, and it is difficult to be countered. When other teams encounter this matchup, they will consider using Gnar, Ornn, and Crab to deal with it.

After all, Crow's strong period portrait is the small-scale group before 25 minutes. It is not so powerful in 55, but if it is 3 vs 3, it is easy to squeeze out space for the c position.

Just like this.

During the preparation period (when he first arrived in Berlin), after being disgusted by Crow, GimGoon practiced the match between Gnar and Crow.

He felt that as long as he was not suppressed in the laning phase, Gnar would definitely become easier to play. However, facing the first level now, he could not control the loss within 400.

"Do you bring Swiftness?"

Qin Hao sat in front of the computer: "Have you tried to use Immortality?"

In this version, the remote triggering Immortality will not halve the health and treatment effect. This is also the reason why the Captain is so strong. After all, the Captain's growth life attribute is not bad. If you stack it a little in the early stage, Q will hurt people.

Most remote players cannot get such a conversion bonus.

"Immortality?"

GimGoon really didn't think about it.

He is a person with a relatively fixed mindset, but is willing to spend a lot of time grinding details. Simply put, he doesn't like to explore his own outfit style, but picks up ready-made ones to practice hard.

Or.

Non-mainstream outfits and rune points have too few application scenarios. For example, before the A-walking monster developed the censer, he took a detour. Normal people would have given up long ago.

After all, if you can win with normal equipment, why go for the pressure? You should know that before the emergence of double auxiliary equipment, few people would deliberately save money to make equipment in order to pursue higher fault tolerance, and suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness.

"You must fight against this match, but Crow has a higher panel than you. He only needs to use Q with his soldiers to grab the line. In addition, his CD is short, which can trigger Aery frequently..."

While speaking, Qin Hao locked onto Nal: "In this case, you can only consider the things after level 6, and try to get him in one wave to make up for the difference in last-hitting before level 6."

Pointing out the Undying and Wind of Resurgence, Qin Hao said: "For me, my secondary system likes shoes and biscuits, saving 300 yuan.

Of course, if you want to strengthen the line, Agility and Scorch are definitely better."

"After all, Scorch was strengthened in 8.7, and the damage was increased by 3 points at all levels. If you are pushed in front, as long as you can catch and raise your hands, you can hit three Scorch in one wave.

One shot has 12 drops of blood (after magic resistance reduction), and three hits are close to half a bottle of medicine."

Crow only has W and E to sustain. If you want to hit Nal, you can basically only use E, W, and then pull a second E.

In Qin Hao's case, it is impossible for him to let Crow recover health by skills, so the rune selection method of Undying plus Scorch is enough to put pressure on Crow.

Even if the control is good, the third wave of artillery vehicles can actively force Crow's blood line.

In addition.

In this version, few people choose Undying, simply because Aery is strong. Those who pursue laning are choosing Aery, and it is impossible to choose Undying. After all, Undying needs to be stacked first, and it is difficult to suppress in front of the tower, while Aery does not need it, so it is more suitable for blocking points and stealing.

Not to mention that after the level is raised, Aery has a good positioning ability, and its consumption frequency is equivalent to one-fourth of that of a medium-to-close-range mage, which can provide the team with Poke means and get free blood volume in the front row.

Jin Gong listened thoughtfully.

What he admired most about Qin Hao was that he could explain the details while demonstrating——

"Grab the grass at level 1... You see, you go to the line and start pushing, standing behind the melee to put pressure on me, I can only use Q to trigger the immortality first, and then use the vacuum period to steal points.

After all, if the blood volume is exchanged in the front, it will definitely be acceptable to Crow."

"Okay, the second wave of the line will start to be stressful, but there is no rush. We will try to avoid E and find opportunities to get the immortality. Anyway, in the first 4 minutes, as long as you don't take E, it's hard to be crossed by guarding the defense tower."

"Pay attention to this wave, I'm going to go home, jump up and fight directly, and force you to give me the skills, so that when I pull away, you can't push the next wave of lines in."

After laying the groundwork for the round of troops, Qin Hao said directly: "Look, at level 7, you are forced to push back. I will not die even if I take the damage caused by the explosion of my big move, and you must dodge to avoid me. ”

While talking.

Qin Hao's E went up to force him to dodge, and then he flashed W to his face to stun him, and completed the counterattack with his remaining health: "This wave is very simple, if you hit one more Q, I will die, if I turn W, you will die.

Without the more than 100 HP provided by Immortal, it would be difficult for me to hold on until the second set of skills improves. Another thing, I didn't move much this time, otherwise it would have been safer if I tried to hide my skills. "

"If you feel unstable, you can drag two more waves of lanes, but then they may not pretend to be with you. If you need to change the bottom lane, the opponent is likely to have a pioneer to increase the rhythm and let the crows leave their T to come and fight the team.

Or Nosuke can come up and let the bottom lane guard the tower. It depends on our choice. "

"Well, this is much more comfortable."

Jin Gong knew that his crow proficiency was not very high. The problem was that this hero was easy to acquire, and he had not seen other top laners practicing crow very hard.

One more.

In this fight, even he felt that he had a good chance. After all, Gnar fought him with a big move, and until he was counter-killed in the end, he felt that he was just a hair away, and felt regretful in his heart.

If the whole process was not within Qin Hao's plan, he would not have known that he would lose in this fight - who would have thought that it would only be a Q damage?

But just because of Immortality, the early exchanges were okay, so at this point in time, the probability of Gnar's line kill is over 70%.

Unless all the skills that stick to the face are empty, if the crow's dodge is strong, Nar can pull away without having to fight to the end.

Still the same sentence.

If you are killed one on one, you are either distracted or trying to fight.

And this.

It's something Swift and Alley can't do.

The faster movement speed cannot be turned into melee combat capital, and the small panel damage of Alley cannot allow Gnar to continue to fight for the second set after eating a full set of bursts.

"Yeah..."

Seeing that Jin Gong was helped, Qin Hao was very happy: "Sometimes the difference is just this value."

"I can't wait to get to the other side."

Jin Gong rubbed his little hands, thinking that after he performed the above operation, he would definitely get the audience to cheer! ! He couldn't help but raise his voice: "It has to be you!"

He stretched out his thick palm and tapped Qin Hao's shoulder like an old father to express his inner joy.

A problem was solved, and he felt that he had become stronger again. At least he could handle similar encounters better than others!

This is progress.

This is value!

"Hi hi."

Qin Hao's tone did not waver at all, as if he was telling the truth: "This pair can only consider the sixth level, and you can get the answer by thinking about this aspect.

Moreover, the crow can exchange blood first every time, so it will definitely have a blood advantage immediately. As long as you are angry, it won't be afraid. "

Jin Gong nodded fiercely, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was correct.

With such a correct approach to the problem, why do you make it sound as if it is easily within reach? Maybe this is the reason why he played professionally for more than four years before he could participate in MSI, while Qin Hao has already received many honors.

door.

Kuma had just had an argument with Jin Dahu, and now he walked into the training room and saw Jin Gong massaging Qin Hao sideways, while Qin Hao looked like he was enduring the pain, thinking that the two were joking.

"Han Quan?" Kuima shouted.

"Coach?!" Jin Gong said with joy on his face, in sharp contrast to Qin Hao's mask of pain: "I can beat crows in the lane!"

"What?" He had forgotten about the training match that day.

"Didn't you say that the jungler needs to be more proactive when facing the Raven to play Gnar? I think I can fight alone. If the opponent's jungler can't come, Wanghu doesn't need to help me."

"???"

When Jin Gong finished speaking in detail, Kuoma said with emotion: "Very good! Very energetic!" Kuuma was incoherent and had no idea what to say.

Since coming to Top.

Qin Hao brought too many surprises.

"What's the coach doing?"

The old thief came out of the bathroom and saw Kuoma bending down next to Jin Gong, and asked curiously.

"In solo just now, Brother Gongzi may have learned some laning skills." Mark guessed irresponsibly.

"oh."

The old thief looked at Jin Gong's side face, sat on the gaming chair and said, "Hey, life is getting better and better."

"Steam?"

Lao Ma subconsciously answered.

smlz:……

The next day.

Thanks to the arrangements made by Riot Games, Qin Hao accepted an interview with ESPN's column. Audiences must be familiar with this column, after all, it releases Top 20 every year.

Accompanied by Brother Hao and his agent.

Qin Hao arrived at the video studio in Paris.

"Hi~~"

Greeted warmly.

The columnist asked about the topic he was most interested in: "You have already won two FMVPs, so you are not short of honors, so I am curious about what supports you to keep moving forward.

We all know that you are still expanding the hero pool. "

"Maybe it's because of love."

"...enthusiasm always fades."

"Maybe, but this hasn't happened yet." Qin Hao smiled with an optimistic expression.

The columnist looked at Qin Hao with a complicated expression and asked: "As one of the greatest e-sports players, do you think the pressure of being a celebrity will crush you?

I have interviewed Faker, and he always talks about one thing, that is, he occasionally becomes irritable and cannot control his emotions. Have you ever felt this way? Suddenly collapsed under intense training. "

"When I first started playing in LPL, I was really nervous because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to play well and stay on this stage.

But maybe it's going smoothly. Even if I maintain high-intensity training, I will find some fun for myself."

Speaking of this, Qin Hao said seriously: "In fact, for me, practicing different heroes and finding different outfits will make me feel happy."

Columnist: ...

He looked at Qin Hao carefully, and through the window of his heart, he found that Qin Hao was not lying.

So.

The burden of being a celebrity didn't make the young man in front of him feel particularly troubled? Through his eyes, he didn't find any shadow of melancholy.

The columnist was thinking at the time: He is only 18 years old, and he is on an unimaginable legendary road.

"Penicillin, we ranked you first last year, and some people said that ESPN exaggerated your talent."

Before the end, the other party took the initiative to shake hands: "But in the end, you performed better than expected."

"Thank you, I still need to work hard."

Qin Hao has become resistant to similar compliments.

One day later

Top will face FW which is in fourth place.
