Chapter 13 First Battle with Doinb
"No, Instructor Lin, you haven't said anything yet."
"What is it? Just say it." Xiao Tian was completely confused. What kind of riddle-teller was this?
Lin Kong chuckled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Let's just familiarize ourselves with today's tactics."
"If the plan goes smoothly, we can take it down quite easily."
After EDE's rampage ended, Lin Kong didn't want to pay much attention to the next few matches.
Their match between KG and NBY is the third to last game, starting at 5 PM.
You can just paddle across the water during the time in between.
paddling...
"It's finally our turn!"
It was five o'clock. Lin Kong stared at the time, and the match between the SHR and RVG teams had just ended.
The match between LD and MF went into a super tiebreaker of 50 minutes, at which point Lin Kong almost fainted from despair.
He didn't even want to watch the Nirvana Group matches in 26, let alone the second-tier league.
The skill level of these guys is beyond description; they're practically head chefs of the canyon.
The rooms in the rest area and the preparation area were some distance apart. Lin Kong led the six members of KG over there.
Along the way, they encountered the members of NBY.
Besides Doinb, Lin Kong also saw a familiar face.
"It really is Swift!"
It can be said that not only Swift and Doinb, but also the members of NBY at the scene were exactly the same as QG later on.
Top laner V, bot lane duo of Peco and Mor.
Upon arriving at the preparation area, Lin Kong stood in front of TheShy with a serious expression, staring at the eight-foot-tall man before him, making TheShy feel immense pressure.
"Um, what's wrong, Coach?"
"What...is there a problem with me?"
TheShy had no idea what he was doing and looked completely bewildered.
Lin Kong smiled slightly, pinched TheShy's left arm muscle, and said, "It's nothing. Don't hold back when you go on stage!"
"If their top laner dares to build a tanky build, then they're ready to fight."
"If you're going for a warrior build, then build Riven."
"Let's switch things up today, we'll play a 'protect TheShy' strategy!"
Looking around at everyone, Lin Kong shouted, "Change today's tactics!"
They had originally planned a strategy centered around the left hand, aiming for him to dominate in his debut match. The left hand even suffered through a night of hardship for this.
A page of GG words is quite long; you need to memorize them so you can recite them all in one breath during an interview.
"what!"
Upon hearing that tactics needed to be changed, Zuo Shou became anxious, "How can that be!"
"I spent all night memorizing GG vocabulary, you can't just change the coach like that."
"Yeah, today I'm planning to play with the excavator and the clockwork. I just practiced the combo with my left hand last night."
Xiao Tian was also a little unconvinced. Today was KG's LSPL debut, and everyone was eager to perform well to increase their popularity.
In this way, the number of orders can increase significantly when selling goods via live streaming at night. Xiaotian has already made this clear to his fans and others.
Today's debut bag features a combo attack, and tonight that person ordered a 599 RMB high-end KG keyboard.
"Coach, I don't care, it's unnecessary." TheShy also refused after hearing his teammates' words.
As the top-ranked player on the Korean server, he really doesn't care about viewership; his stream has the highest viewership in KG's livestream room.
In addition, I'm not very keen on selling these products, so it really doesn't matter to me.
Hearing the crowd's protests, Lin Kong overruled them, "Shut up!"
"My mind is made up. I'll change the strategy to protect TheShy. Today, we'll focus on the top lane. If your mid and jungle can make plays, then figure it out yourselves."
"I misjudged these people from NBY; they're not as simple as kittens and puppies."
"We absolutely must win our debut!"
Lin Kong could understand Zuo Shou and Xiao Tian's concerns; both of them wanted attention, fame, and a good debut.
Lin Kong was no different. Yesterday, he said in his live stream that KG would definitely win today, which attracted a large number of viewers and fans. His boast was too late to take it back.
To maintain his reputation, Lin Kong needs to ensure victory today.
I don't know much about NBY Lin Kong, but I do know QG Lin Kong. QG is a team that develops its rhythm in the mid and bottom lanes, and V in the top lane is a clear weak point.
Protecting Shy is definitely a much better strategy than other tactics.
With five minutes remaining, KG makes their final pre-match preparations.
On the other side, NBY was also holding back their energy. Captain Doinb had just joined LSPL and had a kind smile on his face.
"Today, in our first battle, we'll take them down."
"Recently, everyone online has been saying that this KG team is very strong. All the players are top ten in the Korean server, and they even have TheShy, who is number one in the Korean server, on their roster. If we beat them, our fame will skyrocket!"
"Go, go!" It's not just KG who wants fame; NBY does too. To be precise, no LSPL team doesn't want fame.
The esports profession is still in its early stages, and the salaries of most players are still at a relatively average level.
But if you gain enough fame and get sponsors, it's a completely different story.
Doinb's words echoed the sentiments of everyone at NBY: "Let's do it!!!"
"Let's go, it's our turn!"
When the match time was up, the NBY team walked out of the preparation area.
On the way to the stadium, the spectators outside were already getting excited.
A commotion erupted from the scene.
Doinb was a little surprised. He didn't expect LSPL to have so many viewers. Did they have their own fans?
Hehehe...
Just as I was thinking this, I walked further forward and a shocking sound came from outside.
"KG, KG, KG!!!"
"TheShy ahhhhhhh!!!!"
"Go KG! Charge! Go LSPL champions!!!"
The deafening cheers of KG filled the entire 666 esports arena. Looking up, you could see...
More than two-thirds of the people were holding KG flags, holding signs with KG players, and some were even wearing KG team jerseys.
The NBY team members, who had just stepped out of the preparation area, were dumbfounded. Even EDE, the most famous team in LSPL, had not received such support.
Wasn't KG just a new member of LSPL, just like them?
"What's going on? We're practically the villains." Doinb swallowed hard. It was supposed to be a mixed bag of all sixteen LSPL teams.
They've made it feel like they're playing an away game.
The KG members were also curious, not expecting them to have so many fans. TheShy, who was in the lead, was also taken aback, but then reacted professionally and waved to the audience.
The four KG players behind them followed suit and learned from him.
"Wow, we have so many fans!" Lin Weixiang exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't realized how many fans KG had accumulated when he was selling products in his live stream.
Liu Qingsong looked at the audience seats with delight and saw several signs that belonged to him. He had never received such star treatment during the city championship.
This feels... absolutely amazing!
The KG players all had the same thought in mind. As professional players, they couldn't help but dream of being in the spotlight and the center of attention.
The moments that actually happened were so beautiful.
"KG, KG is unstoppable!"
"KG, KG, the champion team!"
"KG!!!"
"come on!"
"KG!!!"
"come on!!!"
After taking the stage, the KG fan group in the audience cheered in unison, creating a powerful impact on everyone present.
Just hearing the sound made the NBY players feel weak in the knees, let alone playing away from home.
Are they playing against SKT?
"President Lin, we were really touched to see so many of KG's fans willing to come to the event!" Zhu Kai hadn't expected it either. Although their live stream room had tens of thousands of viewers every night, that was still quite a lot.
The support they received on-site was truly beyond their expectations, as KG had never even stepped onto the LSPL stage once.
It's amazing that he could get such support just by relying on his daily live-streaming sales, the various amazing edits under Lin Kong's account, and the media.
The scene here is comparable to, and even surpasses, the scenes of the top LPL teams in some aspects.
"What's so touching about this? I hired most of the people here."
Lin Kong glanced at the scene and nodded in satisfaction.
"It was worth spending ten thousand yuan to organize a cheering squad; the effect was absolutely fantastic!"
"Hahaha, look at those guys from NBY, their legs are practically trembling with fear."
