As the interview ended, Lin Cheng did not expect that the words he complained about his teammates in the post-match interview quickly became popular on domestic forums and other platforms.
Since Lin Cheng spoke Korean in the interview, Chinese netizens captured the picture of him spreading his hands, and added his "Top Order Bible" with text next to it, which was widely circulated for a while.
In the middle of the picture, Lin Cheng spread his hands, which looked like the posture of the factory manager when chanting the Bible.
On the left is his "Bible":
When the line is pushed over, no one comes to our mid and jungle; when the line is pushed over, the opponent's jungler is always there.
On the right is a soul-searching question:
How do you want me to play this?
Of course, since Lin Cheng was busy with training and had no time to browse domestic websites, he didn't know that he had become popular in China in this way.
Due to the half-month break in the middle, the second round of the spring schedule was too intensive. The next day, KT prepared for GRF without stopping, ushering in its third game in four days.
Griffin this season can be described as weak.
Compared to the lineup that dominated the regular season last spring, GRF only changed the players in the mid and support positions this season, but they suddenly became a character that everyone bullies.
Although Chovy left, Ucal, who came to save the situation, was at least one of the talented mid laners who was carried away by Li Ge, and he was not a weak mid laner that anyone could bully.
But this Griffin team is not because the players are weak, but because they play without any rules.
The jungler-support synergy that once dominated the LCK is gone.
The new support and AD are in a group online as conjoined twins.
Tarzan started shopping in the jungle, and once the rhythm started, he often collapsed all the way. The former jungle king became the engine of team annihilation.
Viper played well in the jungle, not giving away or C, and was a bit messy.
On the contrary, Sword, who was beaten like a joke in S9, had to stand up and C from time to time.
Many people's impression of Sword is simply that he is bad.
In fact, Sword is not bad at playing functional heroes. In the S9 Spring Split version, he played Urgot and Sion very well.
I don’t know why, but in last year’s World Championship, Sword started to play carry heroes like Jayce and Angel crazily, which exposed his shortcomings.
It can only be said that the palace fighting incident had a great impact on the morale of the players. The people’s hearts were scattered, and the players’ minds were also problematic.
Entering the new season, after the two games at the beginning of the year, Griffin fell into a situation where it was difficult to win.
And as the game progressed, the players’ performance on the field became more and more outrageous.
There was even malicious speculation on the Internet: Are Tarzan and Viper’s strange performances hoping that the team will be relegated in order to escape the contract constraints of Griffin?
Because all LCK teams and LCK officials have a very special "Team Participation Contract".
The contract clearly stipulates: If the league to which the team belongs changes, the player has the right to declare himself a free agent.
In this way, it is reasonable that the outrageous performance of Griffin players has aroused doubts from netizens.
Of course, in Lin Cheng’s opinion, these speculations are not reliable.
He has also watched GRF's games. There is nothing wrong with the laning. It's just that they don't play as a whole. Everyone plays their own way.
Many of Tarzam's operations that look like acting are actually because his teammates can't keep up with his rhythm.
Just like in KT, Lin Cheng has many reckless team fights, and often crosses the tower to start a big team fight in the early and mid-term.
If his teammates can't keep up with Lin Cheng's pace, he will definitely be the number one team wipe engine in LCK.
It's conceivable.
If one day KT also loses tacit understanding and starts playing their own way like Griffin's players.
When the time comes to control variables and catch the traitor, Lin Cheng will definitely be the number one war criminal.
Because his style of play is doomed to go in when he finds an opportunity. If no teammates follow him, he will either be a big C or give away a lot.
However, these things about Griffin have nothing to do with Lin Cheng. Whether Tarzan and Viper have really become bad or are acting, it can't change the fact:
This GRF is really weak.
Such Griffin is of course powerless to fight back against the momentum of KT, and will be defeated by two bullets.
I don’t know if it’s because the stronger the opponent, the more he wants to prove himself.
In both games against Lin Cheng, Jian Huang took out his Aatrox to carry the game.
Then, Jian Huang was completely shut down.
Lin Cheng took out Kennen to deal with Aatrox in both games. It was a 50-50 match, but Lin Cheng beat the opponent to the point where he couldn’t stand.
Even the Korean commentator said:
Lin Cheng’s Kennen focused on A, and Sword’s Aatrox became B-based.
Because Lin Cheng really relied on basic attacks to beat the opponent back across the line, Sword once again felt the fear of being dominated by the top laner.
With KT defeating GRF on April 4, two days later, the seventh week of the LCK Spring Split ended.
Now the situation of the standings is basically clear, with a clear distinction between the upper and lower half.
KT is ranked third in the standings with a record of 10 wins and 5 losses thanks to its terrifying ten-game winning streak. With only two weeks left in the spring season, it has already secured a playoff spot.
AFS, ranked sixth, has a record of 6 wins and 9 losses. Even if KT loses all the remaining three games, it is impossible to fall to the right half of the standings.
When the second round started, AFS was still ranked above KT in points. As a result, AFS has not won a single game since the second round. It makes people sigh that things change over time.
The reason why AFS is so bad all of a sudden is that Fei Ge is not good enough, but the sudden decline of Mystic, the brother-in-law, is also one of the main reasons.
What is outrageous is that Xiye, who is far away in China, has suddenly become very brave recently, while Xiye was in a worrying state when the brother-in-law was in good shape some time ago.
The conservation law of WE's double C did not expect that after Xiye and the brother-in-law left the team, they still bound each other in the dark.
Ahead of KT are GEN·G and T1, who also have a record of 12 wins and 3 losses. GEN·G took the top spot due to the small point advantage.
In fact, in the battle of the mountain of kings a few days ago, GEN·G lost to T1 and once gave up the first place.
Unexpectedly, T1 did not accept the beggar's food, but lost to DWG, giving up the top position again.
In addition to KT's winning streak, DWG's state has gradually recovered.
In the second round, after losing to KT and GEN·G successively, the coaching staff still chose to let Ghost sit in the starting lineup.
Zefa's BP began to become normal, and Niu Bao did not play the Akali who always brought failure. Ghost led DWG to complete a wave of four consecutive wins with a very outstanding performance and firmly stood in the position of the goalkeeper of the left half.
It can be imagined that the nuclear emperor is likely to be with Niu Bao's Akali in the future.
As for the relegation zone.
Although Griffin, who lost to KT, defeated the relegation competitor APK the next day, it is still immersed in the mountain of kings. With only three games left, it is two wins behind Hanhua, which ranks eighth.
At the moment, it seems that Griffin will most likely have to wade through the quagmire of the relegation match this season.
