Chapter 620 The Significance of the Training Match

Lin Cheng crushed the masters of various teams all the way, making LPL viewers begin to doubt the strength of Canyon of Heroes.

But in fact, the reason why professional players were dominated before was not that the players of Canyon of Heroes were really stronger than those of other servers, but that the general players were not used to the rhythm of Canyon of Heroes, and the masters of skills were rampant.

The masters of skills were actually unprepared to play against professional players. What he said before, "Five random passers-by in Canyon of Heroes can go to North America to compete for the championship", is completely nonsense.

Let's not talk about the hero pool issue, just in terms of tactical literacy, the two sides are not on the same level.

With the hero pool of professional players, they can quickly find a way to target the masters of skills after a few confrontations. Often, the masters of skills will find that the opponents are getting more and more difficult to play when they encounter professional players repeatedly, and this is just the confrontation.

So, it was only at the beginning that various masters of skills beat professional players, but after adapting, many professional players actually began to steadily gain points.

Even A P, who almost cried after losing all night before, has now reached the Grand Master. If he is given some time, it will be no problem to reach the King.

Many people are jealous, thinking that professional players can only fight back with the help of super accounts.

But in fact, the high hidden score of super accounts can also lead to stronger opponents, and when professional players' super accounts reach Grandmaster or above, there is not much difference from ordinary accounts, which is not as exaggerated as most people think.

After taking a shower, Lin Cheng curled up on the bed with a refreshed spirit, ready to go online and rest.

After browsing domestic websites, Lin Cheng also saw the discussion about his RANK on the Internet, but he didn't care.

Originally, he was an operational top laner, so he naturally had a lot of advantages over other players in scoring, but there were more things in the arena besides operation.

After registering a vest and shouting a few words "Brother Cheng is awesome", Lin Cheng went to check the RANK situation of his teammates.

Lin Cheng is really strong, but the other brothers of KT are still adapting.

Aiming has just reached Master, the highest rank besides Lin Cheng. It is exaggerated to reach this rank in more than two days.

Bono has reached Diamond 1, and the jungler is a relatively easy position to gain points.

Tusin is almost Diamond 2, and this speed of gaining points is not bad for a support.

Kuro has perfectly integrated into the segment, and is fighting back and forth with Diamond 4.

Lin Cheng sent a message to mock Kuro for being a slacker, but he didn't get a response. It is estimated that Kuro is still fighting with Diamond.

Bored, Lin Cheng went to the Internet to check.

Because he used a Korean mobile phone card, Lin Cheng didn't need to climb over the firewall to use software such as INS in China.

Only a few hours after the draw ended, each team expressed their opinions on social media.

G2 was very optimistic and posted a PS picture of dragging a lion, obviously thinking that Suning would not be difficult to deal with.

RGE, who was in the same group with KT and JD, was a little autistic: Our group was simply a free gift, but it's good, so fans don't have much to look forward to.

TSM: It's stable! In our group, there is a second seed of LEC, a third seed of LCK, and a fourth seed of LPL. My ranking and strength clearly suppress them.

FLY, the second seed of North America, was grouped with Top Esports and DWG, so the Instagram he posted seemed quite sad:

So... we will go home after the quarantine, right?

Very coquettish, the first fan's reply below was also very heartbreaking: Right.

The second fan's reply also received countless likes:

Fly

No matter how bad he is, the ability of the North American brothers to make fun of others is not inferior to that of Europe, and Lin Cheng was very happy to watch it.

After watching the European and American brothers making fun of others, Lin Cheng opened Youtube to watch the latest video of Miss Jixiu.

Alas! With the personal experience of his girlfriend, Miss Jixiu's video has become boring.

I miss Sister Shuyan so much.

Bored and surfing the Internet to kill time, the empty and lonely night was filled with Lin Cheng's thoughts.

The next day, the entire KT team connected in the room to start the training match.

The opponent of the training match was FLY, the second seed of North America.

I don't expect to improve my skills and tactics by relying on my opponents. I mainly want to understand the styles of opponents in different regions so as not to be caught off guard when I encounter unfamiliar opponents later.

In this training match, Lin Cheng unexpectedly picked Ornn, which surprised Ignar, who was already prepared to withstand the pressure.

Of course, Ignar was not careless.

After all, the opponent was the world's No. 1 offensive top laner. Maybe Ornn could beat him up, so I had to be careful.

As a result, Lin Cheng showed no aggressiveness at all, which was obvious. He was just going to mess around in the top lane and handed the burden of carrying to his teammates.

And his teammates were also very powerful.

When Lin Cheng was silent in the laning phase, Wild Turtle was beaten by the KT duo in the bottom lane and lost his temper. He was always suppressed and ate plating.

The mid laner Kuro was also uncharacteristically. Yesterday, he was still fighting with Diamond Cub in the Canyon of Heroes. Today, he hit hard in the training match and beat POE, a first-line mid laner in North America.

In the end, KT easily defeated the opponent when Lin Cheng continuously chose team-oriented top laners.

KT's intention is very clear, which is to store more tactics.

The whole world knows that Lin Cheng is the core of KT, but the value of training games lies in being able to store as many tactics as possible.

In the next few days, all teams will arrange training games with each other.

KT also accepts all opponents, no matter how strong or weak the opponent is, as long as the opponent invites them, KT will play.

Even if the wildcard team tries to invite them for a training match, KT will accept it.

Many teams will choose their opponents when arranging training matches. Often, teams that are too weak cannot invite strong teams because the opponent will think that it is meaningless to play training matches with weak teams.

But coach Kang Dongxun does not think that his players need to rely on high-level opponents to hone their skills.

In fact, the overall level of this KT team is definitely one of the top teams in this S game. What they need is to let the players in the team who have no experience in the world game play more with teams from other regions to broaden their horizons.

Not to mention, KT really saw a lot of new things when playing training matches with wildcard teams.

For example, Lin Cheng was forced to switch lanes by UOL at level 1. The duo came up to suppress Lin Cheng at level 1, leaving both sides' top laners in a self-destructing situation, which really caused a lot of trouble for Lin Cheng.

This kind of thing is something that Lin Cheng has never seen in LCK games. Different opponents are creating surprises for Lin Cheng, a rookie who is participating in the World Championship for the first time.

Although playing training games with a few specific strong teams can certainly maintain the level, the World Championship is a stage for the collision of different styles. It is not advisable to work behind closed doors.

This is the meaning of training games and World Championships.

When SKT participated in the World Championship last year, it flew to Europe very late. It played training games with Griffin in China for quite a long time. As a result, it met G2 in the semi-finals and was sent away by joy. In the 8th, RNG and Flash Wolves also played training games behind closed doors. As a result, one of the two brothers fell in the group stage and the other fell in the quarterfinals, and both lost to opponents who were obviously weaker than themselves.

It can only be said that if they played training games with more opponents in advance, perhaps this tragedy could be avoided.
