Chapter 98 I don't think we're like IG
The atmosphere in the IG break room was somewhat somber; everyone had their heads down and no one spoke.
Losing one game might not be so bad, but failing to execute the lineup's intended strategy is what really impacts morale.
"I don't understand. If it's just a matter of condition, we can adjust it." Mu Chun suddenly looked up.
All eyes turned to him.
"We could have initiated that team fight, why couldn't we have been more decisive? And look how it ended up!"
"Are they going to rely on Rumble and Vayne to initiate team fights, while the three initiation points just hide in the back and wait until the two damage dealers are almost dead before engaging?"
In response to Mu Chun's question, Jiejie spoke first, "I think we shouldn't engage in that team fight, and some people might not be able to keep up."
As he spoke, he glanced at Rookie.
Mu Chun didn't notice Jiejie's gaze and asked with some confusion, "Why can't he follow? Rumble in the top lane has his ultimate and is flanking, he should be able to keep up."
"And then there's Vayne, almost face-to-face with you two in the front row. The space is so small, I can't possibly fall behind when you drive, can I?"
Jiejie shook her head, just as she was thinking of what to say, Mu Chun spoke again.
"You said you can't fight, then why did you call us over? We came here to fight in order to defend our jungle, right?"
Meiko suddenly interjected, "Mainly because of the Earth Dragon terrain, they have a greater advantage in poking."
"That's definitely their advantage," Mu Chun nodded in agreement, then changed the subject, "But wouldn't it be the same if we went all in against them?"
"Once it's activated, we can kill them instantly. The terrain around the Earth Dragon won't be easy for them to escape from either."
"But what I can't understand is why we fought so indecisively, we were so cowardly, you know?"
"You guys make me feel like we're not like IG!"
"I feel like if we grabbed five fans who play games from the audience, they would play more decisively than us."
The entire lounge fell silent once again.
Jiejie and Meiko didn't seem to have any particular feelings about this, since they came from EDG.
But I can understand Mu Chun. Based on his talent, if he practices a few more versions of heroes, he can pick any team in the youth training program.
Those who choose IG are basically those who have a soft spot for the aggressive IG team that won their first S8 championship.
After all, the aggressive playstyle of directly engaging in a battle of wits with the opponent when faced with a problem is indeed very easy to inspire and attract young players.
But they didn't have any filters; that's not how they won the championship.
Rookie, who had remained silent throughout, was deeply moved by this.
He once said that he would "protect everything about IG". Since leaving IG, he and TheShy have both been seeking to change their career paths.
Everyone gets old eventually. How can you compete with young people when you're older? Especially after experiencing the warrior mid-lane meta, you'll only crave a more team-oriented transition.
TheShy is undoubtedly successful. He has not only become more of a team player, but he has also not given up the dominance and mechanics that made him famous, and he has not simply become a spinning top.
He went through V5, TES, and NIP, and this year he returned to IG. Has he succeeded?
It seems he doesn't. He can't sacrifice for the team like Doinb does, no matter what he plays. He also doesn't have strong leadership skills and isn't even a weaker version of Fake.
He realized that he couldn't let go, he couldn't transform himself, he couldn't become a player who could always sacrifice and dedicate himself to the team, and he couldn't let go of the pressure that made him famous.
But age is a major hurdle. When you get old, it's as easy for a player like Zuo Shou or Xiao Niang to beat him as it is for a player like Da Yun to beat Mao Bing. Even a newcomer with strong pressure can beat him in a game.
His performance was not as stable as Xiaohu's. Among the Three Saints and One Emperor, he should be the one with the most fluctuations. He couldn't even make it into the World Championship!
He seems unable to hold onto everything in IG. He has become cowardly, both in matches and emotionally, and is jokingly called "Sticky Rice Chicken." He is no longer the reckless man he once was.
Perhaps he wasn't a reckless person to begin with, but just a player who manipulated radicals, and he was simply influenced by four reckless people.
He pondered for a long time, opened his mouth, and seemed unable to say anything.
popping.
Seeing that things had gone well enough, Daeny clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to him, and said in broken Chinese, "Listen to me."
He then looked at the translator, who understood and relayed Daeny's words: "In the next game, we are on the blue side, and they will definitely have to ban Skarner."
As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Chun, "So, Mu Chun will be able to release at least one of his heroes in the next game."
Mu Chun nodded. This was probably the only good thing about losing a game; at least he wouldn't have to play a late-game hero with a weak laning phase in the next game.
Meiko's voice suddenly broke in, "So, are they going to be stubborn and ban all three?"
For a moment, everyone fell silent. This draft was truly unimaginable. Scorpion and Rabbit had been overpowered since the Demacia Cup.
Rabbits can be released to play now, but Scorpion is still a frequent ban pick. So far, it has only appeared once in the entire first stage, and that was Tarzan using it.
That game saw him achieve a phenomenal 1/0/13 score, which can no longer be described as a must-ban or must-pick; it was a point in itself!
CvMax isn't stupid. There's no benefit to releasing it. They can't just say they made a profit whether they win or lose, right?
"If they really release them, we'll take the scorpions and beat them!" Mu Chun stood up.
JIejie also stood up, "If he dares to let us win, then we dare to win."
Daeny also called for the others to stand up, and soon everyone gathered together, their palms overlapping.
"Three, two, one!"
"IG!"
"Go for it!" "You'll win!"
Looking at the group preparing to go on stage, Mafa facepalmed and smiled helplessly. Seven people cheering each other on, how could they possibly win with such poor teamwork?!
……
JDG rest area.
Having won back a point, the crowd's morale soared, and CvMax couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He has found a way to beat the current IG: the mid and jungle are not in good form, and the support is not very influential.
If we restrict the bot lane champions and delay their power spike, and lock down the top lane to prevent them from participating in fights, IG can easily dominate!
He explained this to his teammates and then decided, "We'll continue banning bot lane champions, let them have Azir, and prevent them from doing anything in the bot lane!"
Xun frowned deeply after hearing this. "So, we're just going to let them have the scorpions?"
He shook his head violently. "No way! I can't play Skarner in the jungle at all. Even if I'm in terrible form, I'm still a professional player. There's no way Skarner can lose!"
Peyz also questioned, "His Vayne can also make plays; that solo kill was another example. Giving him Azir wouldn't prevent him from doing anything, and with Skarner on the team, he'll only have an even more comfortable time!"
CvMax frowned. They're all going through a rebellious phase. If we just play like we did in the last game, how could we possibly lose when their mid and jungle have zero synergy?
Just as he was about to start yelling, Ale suddenly interjected, "I think it's a good idea!"
For a moment, everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.
Ale chimed in, "It's no big deal if Scorpion is let go. I was able to lock him down even with a tank this game. Next game, give me a more offensive champion, and I can dominate the top lane."
CvMax also realized that this person was just trying to steal the credit, but he didn't know why he was so ruthless towards TheShy.
But it has nothing to do with him. As long as he has support, that's enough. As for aggressive top laners, we'll talk about that later!
After receiving CvMax's approval, the JDG team cheered each other on before going on stage!
