Chapter 454 Looking Back! Old and New SKT!

The coaches of the four LPL teams were called together to discuss how to play training matches.

This time, as the team of Taobo, naturally everything must be in line with Taobo, so the coach discussed it in Taobo's training room. In addition to the coach, there were representatives from the other three teams.

RNG is Xiaohu, IG is Ning and RW is Doinb.

When Chen Yiqiu saw that it was Xiaohu who followed Brother Feng, he felt strange. After all, Xiaohu's status was certainly incomparable to UZI, so why didn't UZI come?

It's probably because the meeting would be awkward, but that's understandable.

I saw Hongmi saying: "How to arrange today's training match? Who will practice with whom? We only have one day, and I seem to have to shoot some things in the afternoon. I feel that I can only play a BO5, and the rest of the time will be used to review the game."

The other coaches nodded in approval.

At this moment, Doinb took the initiative and said: "Let's play a training match with IG. I quite like IG's style."

Chen Yiqiu felt a bit outrageous after hearing this. Just because he likes IG's style, IG wants to play a training match with him?

But considering that he is Doinb, everything seems to make sense again.

Ning responded: "I have no objection."

Chris also expressed his approval: "Then let's fight RW."

At this time, Xiaohu said: "Does that mean our RNG is going to play a training match with Taobo?"

Ning joked: "It's pretty good, isn't it? You're making faster progress. How many people want to play a training match with Taobo but haven't had the opportunity yet."

Now Xiaohu started to sweat, and he said: "How about we fight RW, Taobo is still left to you IG, this is also for your own good."

Ning smiled: "To be honest, I really like playing against Taobo, but having said that, our style is similar to Taobo, and we have been practicing for a long time. If we continue to practice, the effect will be the same, like changing the taste. "

Doinb agreed: "Well, I feel the same way. You and Taobo are both powerful in the lane. They play aggressively and are a bit worse in terms of operations."

Chen Yiqiu felt that he was right in the beginning, but something went wrong when he heard about operations. Taobo doesn't know how to operate? That must be nonsense. It would be better to say that the opponent lost before the fight reached the point where operations were needed, so there was no chance to show off.

Xiaohu saw that other teams seemed to have this intention, so he had no choice but to accept it.

This training match has been decided. Taobo’s training match partner is RNG, and the enemy is on a narrow road.

Hongmi glanced at the time and said, "Then it will start in fifteen minutes. Everyone should get ready."

So everyone in Taobo began to make preparations.

On the other side, Xiaohu returned to RNG's training room, and everyone in RNG was waiting eagerly.

Seeing Xiaohu coming back, UZI quickly asked: "Who are we fighting?"

Xiaohu touched his nose and felt a little panicked: "He Taobo..."

"Ah? Tabo?" Upon hearing these two words, UZI felt like he was going to explode.

Since the formation of Taobo, RNG has never defeated Taobo, whether in the group stage or playoffs.

And every time I lose miserably, the key point is that every game attracts a lot of attention. After losing, I will be ridiculed by netizens, which has a psychological shadow.

UZI asked back: "Can't you let them change teams? I'm really convinced!"

Xiaohu naturally did not dare to disobey UZI, so he could only choose to shut up.

Brother Feng walked in and said, "This has nothing to do with Xiaohu. It's mainly Doinb's idea. The other teams didn't refuse. That's how it went."

"But it's not a big problem. Sparring with Taobo might be a good thing for us. After all, they are so strong."

Hearing this, some people were happy and some were worried. They were happy because they felt they could improve, but they were worried... that they would be abused again, and moreover by Chen Yiqiu!

Soon, it was time for the training match. Both sides built rooms, recruited people, and started BP.

Everyone here at Taobo is quite relaxed.

I saw Chen Yiqiu saying: "Since we are sparring with RNG, then our focus should be on improving the bottom lane's laning ability. RNG's bottom lane laning ability is quite good."

Chen Wei responded: "Okay! I will try my best!"

After a pause, he added: "But I can't guarantee victory... RNG's bottom lane is quite strong."

Little Peanut smiled: "As long as we, Naka Ueno, are here, you can fight with confidence. It's okay if you can't beat us. Our brothers will help you figure it out."

At the beginning of the first game, in order to give the bottom lane a full workout, Peanut deliberately chose not to go to the bottom lane.

Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong worked hard, and suddenly found that it was not as difficult to beat as they thought, and they had back and forth with RNG in the bottom lane.

"I feel that the difficulty is actually not higher than our previous special training." Chen Wei said in surprise.

The so-called special training refers to the special training that Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk conducted together for the bottom lane.

Little Peanut said: "Of course, the bottom lane duo composed of the first midfielder and top player in history, needless to say how strong it is?"

However, just when Chen Wei was happy, things changed a little.

On RNG's side, UZI originally planned to penetrate from the bottom lane and take over the game after gaining enough advantage, but as they fought, they found that it was not that simple.

Ming muttered: "Uzi, do you feel it? The opponent's bottom lane seems to have become stronger in laning. I didn't feel this way before."

UZI denied it flatly: "It's impossible. Is it that easy to improve the ability in the laning phase? It's not that easy. It's just good luck."

"Jungler, come to the bottom lane to catch a wave. The opponent's bottom lane is easy to catch!"

So Karsa began to target the bottom lane, breaking the balance between the bottom lane and the jungle, and UZI and Ming began to gain an advantage.

However, he had an advantage, and the mid, top and jungle were hung up.

Entering the team battle period, Top Esports relied on the advantages of the mid and top to rush into the team battle, and RNG couldn't beat them at all.

Top Esports easily won the first game.

"Come again!" UZI was not convinced. In the second game, Top Esports continued to let the bottom lane go and let the bottom lane figure it out.

Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong could only rack their brains to stabilize the laning phase and prevent being targeted by the opponent's jungler.

Although the bottom lane still allowed UZI and Ming to play an advantage, it was not as big as the first game. The situation was quietly changing.

In the third game, perhaps they were familiar with RNG's style of play, especially the jungler's style of play against the bottom lane.

Topbo's bottom lane was stable, but the tower was eaten and the line was pushed, but it didn't die.

On the other hand, RNG's mid and top lane couldn't hold on at all and were beaten to death.

In the end, Topbo defeated RNG 3-0 in the training match.

UZI's face was dark. He thought he had a chance to turn things around and could win once against Chen Yiqiu, even if it was just a training match, but it turned out to be a beautiful imagination.

The three games were played in more than an hour, and Hongmi began to review the game with the players.

After the review, it was time for dinner, and everyone in Topbo went to eat together.

When he arrived at the door of the hotel restaurant, Chen Yiqiu suddenly saw a familiar figure!

I saw a huge body, wearing a red team uniform, walking into the restaurant, just a dozen meters in front of the Topbo players.

This person also has an ID on his back, Wolf!

Li Zaiwan!

The moment he saw Li Zaiwan, Peanut was stressed and turned around quickly, trying to pretend that he didn't see it.

Chen Yiqiu smiled. Peanut's reaction was too direct. His fear was not fake. It was obviously the kind of fear that went deep into his bones.

In addition to Lee Jae-wan, the entire SKT team was there, including Kkoma, the coach.

Lee Sang-hyuk had already stepped forward to greet him: "Coach Kkoma."

The SKT team turned around when they heard the noise and saw that it was Lee Sang-hyuk. Lee Jae-wan made a pig rush!

Lee Jae-wan jumped up and hugged him, shouting: "Sang-hyuk! Sang-hyuk!"

Kkoma greeted him warmly: "Lee Sang-hyuk, long time no see."

Lee Sang-hyuk was held in Lee Jae-wan's arms, and the difference in body shape suddenly appeared. It felt like Lee Jae-wan was as wide as two Lee Sang-hyuks.

Fortunately, Lee Jae-wan was not tall, otherwise it would be like an adult holding a child.

Chen Yiqiu also stepped forward to greet him: "Coach Kkoma, long time no see."

"Chen Yiqiu, Chen Sheng!" Kkoma also imitated the tone of the fans and shouted "Chen Sheng".

The other SKT players also shouted, "Brother Xianghe, Brother Yiqiu."

Chen Yiqiu could recognize a few people who were substitutes or trainees in SKT before.

Of course, there were many new faces.

At this time, Guo Hao and Hongmi came up together and greeted the SKT team.

The atmosphere between the two teams was pretty good, and they walked in while chatting.

Suddenly, Li Zaiwan seemed to remember something. He looked back, left and right, as if looking for someone.

"Who are you looking for?" Li Xianghe asked.

Li Zaiwan muttered, "Where is Wanghu? Why don't I see Wanghu?"

Chen Yiqiu and Li Xianghe turned around to help look for him, and found that he was really not there.

Suddenly, Chen Wei winked and looked, as if something was going on.

Then, Chen Wei took a step to the side, and the little peanut behind him was exposed!

"Wanghu!" Li Zaiwan was furious.

Seeing that he could no longer hide, Peanut could only pretend to be calm and come out to greet: "Coach Kkoma, Li Zaiwan, hello."

Kkoma said to Li Zaiwan: "You'd better not be too fierce, otherwise you will hardly see him in the future."

Li Zaiwan explained: "I was just joking. I have such a good relationship with Wanghu, how could I really fight?"

However, hearing this, Peanut's back felt cold!

After everyone entered the restaurant, they began to look for a place to eat. There were not many people in the restaurant yet, and other teams had not come yet.

Kkoma suggested: "Let's sit together. The players seem to want to communicate."

Guo Hao nodded: "Okay, then we will go over there."

So the two teams found two tables in the corner and sat down, next to each other, and they could meet each other by turning around.

After sitting down, Li Zaiwan began to introduce Chen Yiqiu: "Brother Yiqiu, these are our two new top laners of SKT, Thal, and Untara."

Chen Yiqiu had some impression of these two people. When SKT wanted to recruit them into the team, they also asked Chen Yiqiu for his opinion.

"Brother Yiqiu." Thal and untaraI greeted together.

Chen Yiqiu nodded in response.

Li Zaiwan continued to introduce to Li Xianghe: "This is our new mid-lane, Closer."

This Closer looks fierce, with fierce eyes, which is impressive.

Closer shouted: "Brother Xianghe."

Chen Yiqiu could see that although Closer looked polite, he was actually not very convinced of Lee Sang Hyuk. He was eager to try and challenge.

This was normal. Generally, capable people were unwilling to be inferior to others. Although Lee Sang Hyuk was not in SKT now, SKT was greatly influenced by him.

In the future, every SKT mid laner would be compared with Lee Sang Hyuk.

If the team's performance was good, it would not be a big problem. Once the team's performance was not good, then trouble would come.

So from Closer's point of view, he must want to replace Lee Sang Hyuk's position in the hearts of SKT fans, and this idea was understandable.

At this time, Peanut asked: "By the way, who is the strongest mid laner in LCK now?"

Peanut looked at Closer as if he wanted him to answer.

Closer smiled and said: "Including me?"

Hearing this, Peanut was stunned.

Although he didn't know other LCK teams, he knew SKT and occasionally watched SKT's games, especially the more critical games.

He knew what level this Closer was at. Not to mention being the No. 1 mid laner in LCK, he definitely wouldn't be in the top three.

However, he couldn't say it directly in front of others, so he said, "Not including you, just look at other teams."

Closer responded, "If we just look at the laning, I think Chovy is now the No. 1 mid laner in LCK, no, he should be the No. 1 mid laner in the world now."

Closer's voice was very loud, and I don't know if it was intentional, but it attracted the attention of other people around him.

It was a bit provocative to say that another person was the No. 1 mid laner in the world in front of Lee Sang-hyuk, and this was actually said by an SKT player. .

Li Xianghe didn't react much, but Xiaohuasheng couldn't accept it: "Impossible, the world's No. 1 mid laner? Even if we only look at the laning phase, can he beat Brother Xianghe? I think it's impossible!"

Closer said bluntly: "It does sound outrageous, but he is the strongest in the laning phase now. He may need to grow in other aspects. This is an indisputable fact."

Seeing that the other party was so sure, Xiaohuasheng looked at Li Xianghe: "Brother Xianghe, you should have seen his game, what do you think? Is he really that good?"

Li Xianghe commented: "From the perspective of laning ability, his laning ability is indeed very strong, his basic skills are very solid, and his laning suppression ability is good. However, we haven't played against each other yet, so it's hard to say whether we can beat him."

Although Li Xianghe said so, from his expression and tone, he always maintained confidence.

Chen Yiqiu said: "We are likely to play against them in this intercontinental competition, and we will know when the time comes."

Little Peanut muttered: "That's true, it's useless to analyze so much now, playing against each other is more intuitive than anything else."

Li Zaiwan said: "I heard that you LPL has also produced many powerful guys this year."

Little Peanut immediately became alert: "What do you want to do? Are you trying to get information?"

Li Zaiwan was unhappy: "We just told you everything you want to know, Wanghu, do you want to take advantage of us? Free?"

Chen Yiqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These were all very basic information that could be found on the Internet. How could they be made like secrets?

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door. Chen Yiqiu looked over and saw the IG and RNG teams coming in.

After entering the door, the two teams went their separate ways and found their own seats to sit down.

Li Zaiwan said: "I heard that these newcomers of IG are very powerful and caused you a lot of trouble. Is it true?"

Chen Yiqiu replied: "If you have the opportunity to play against them, you will know it."

Li Zaiwan continued: "Can you tell us a little bit? In case we meet them, right? We can be prepared in advance."

Chen Yiqiu said: "When playing against IG, if you can't win the laning, especially the top lane, it is basically impossible to win." (End of this chapter)
