Chapter 50 Playing with Snakes
The next day.
Jiang Xia led a group of men to the venue.
We walked through the passageway, which was packed with fans.
"Go LGD!"
"Duck with left hand."
"Coach, please give me a good boost!"
"Pfft, you're so cute! Drink less alcohol!"
"Pyl, you really shouldn't have sent more."
Pyl: ....What the hell is this? Why does the style change so drastically when it comes to me?
We sat down in the lounge and started chatting.
"Anyway, when playing against Snake Team, the only thing to be careful of is their jungler."
Eimy was annoyed: "What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning."
Before Eimy could get any more anxious, Pyl continued slowly, "Think about it, there's a great image of Heimerdinger fighting Lucian in the top lane, right? Do you think Karsa would feel any pressure fighting a Tank in the mid lane?"
As for the bot lane, kryst4l hasn't been in good form lately, and I heard he's injured his hand. Why is he playing against Pugo? And their support has poor rhythm; if Thresh is banned, is there even a place for him?
But Sofm... I can only say good luck to you.
Eimy panicked, but there was nothing she could do.
Pyl's statement is reasonable and well-founded.
He turned to Jiang Xia for help, but Jiang Xia could only return an encouraging look.
"Don't listen to Pyl. I've already told you everything I needed to say yesterday how to beat Sofm. Don't tell me you don't remember!"
Knowing that they were going to play against Snake, Jiang Xia conducted a lot of simulations, especially in the jungle matchups.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and Jiang Xia has finally found the most suitable strategy for Eimy to play against Sofm.
And it was force-fed into his brain.
Jiang Xia felt that when it came to jungling like Sofm, who has a layered, multi-layered style, you shouldn't overthink things.
He's on the third, fourth, or even fifth floor, so you should stay on the first floor; it might work wonders.
The saying "a fool can defeat a master" has existed since ancient times.
Moreover, Eimy himself didn't think too much about it.
Wow, that would be even more suitable.
"I remember, but the problem is that Chen Bo is undermining my confidence, and besides, is Sofm really that good?"
Eimy was neither convinced nor convinced; how could a professional like him not understand?
Snake is a team that takes great care of their jungler, unlike any other team. Their laners are all playing to support their jungler.
With this kind of treatment, I'd be damned... damned... damned I should be able to accept it too, right?
"That's really strong."
Tabe, as an analyst, only plays the real game.
Sofm's jungle planning is so impressive that it's unforgettable after just one look, and his genius is truly admirable.
That kind of playstyle can't be learned; it's purely based on talent.
At least so far, there is only one Sofm in the whole world.
"But your jungle prowess isn't bad either."
Fearing it might hurt his family's confidence, Tabe quickly added another sentence.
"Well, nobody believes me."
Clenching his fist, Eimy made a silent vow; he felt it was time to prove himself.
Seeing Ye Wang like this, Jiang Xia was amused.
That's the effect we wanted; facing a strong enemy isn't scary.
What's worrisome is the lack of a desire to win.
Actually, Jiang Xia didn't tell anyone that he had initially planned to replace the jungler.
After spending almost a month together, he felt that Eimy still had ambition.
It's not scary to lack strength; Jiang Xia has plenty of ways to help him improve.
What I fear most is that I'll just give up and give up.
Honestly, leaving Eimy has nothing to do with easily earning points...
Well, it still has some connection.
..........
Sofm sneezed, and he had a feeling that someone was thinking about him.
He doesn't recognize his opponent's ID today, and he doesn't know if he played well or not, but of course it doesn't matter.
No matter how good someone is, they can't be as good as me.
Many say that Sofm's performance is the result of the entire team nurturing him.
The problem is, they have to be worth keeping.
The reason this playstyle was chosen is because the results of training matches centered around Sofm were too good.
The same applies to the game; the jungler consistently had an early advantage, which was mainly in the jungle matchups.
This is the correct cause-and-effect relationship, rather than inferring the process from the result.
While this kind of advantage, which is concentrated on one jungler, is indeed not very stable, it becomes difficult to snowball when the pace slows down in the mid-game.
To expand an advantage, you have to take risks and go into the jungle to fight. Under such high risks, you can give away your early advantage in one go.
But that's still better than not gaining an advantage in the early game.
So whenever the boss came to question them, Crystal could still stubbornly say something.
"Are? It's not like we can't beat anyone. What can we do if we're unlucky?"
The boss was immediately intimidated.
Yes, Yang Fan is right!
Our team is definitely strong; otherwise, how could we have an early advantage in every game?
As for why the grades weren't good, was it really just bad luck?
.......
What's the report on today's match?
[I honestly can't imagine anything like a jungler playing against Sofm.]
[If you don't get down 100 CS after the fight, then you've succeeded.]
[This is a bit of an insult to Sofm, I think it's worth around $200.]
[LGD has been in good form lately, why is everyone so pessimistic?]
[It's not that LGD lost, but Eimy will definitely get completely destroyed in the jungle.]
Is Sofm that strong?
All I can say is, they're very strong. Just wait and see.
As the audience chatted enthusiastically, Guan Zeyuan also discussed today's jungle matchups.
"In my opinion, Eimy will have a hard time dealing with Sofm's attacks."
"I still prefer Sofm's style of play. I think Sofm will dominate his lane in this game."
Sofm, sitting in the battle seat, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
Something's not right. What's this feeling?
Before coming to China, his elders told him that China was a very magical country, and that some metaphysical practices should be approached with extreme caution.
Suddenly, Sofm felt a little flustered and quickly began to silently recite a calming mantra widely circulated in his hometown to relieve the unease.
Crystal was completely bewildered:
"No, what are the Vietnamese doing?"
"..."
After listening to Guan Zeyuan's comments, I remember remaining noncommittal.
"Okay, proceed to BP."
"Wow, Snake banned three mid laners! They really respect Knight!"
"On the first floor, LGD picked Rumble, and Snake countered with Riven. That's Flandre for you, he's never afraid of anyone."
"Next, with the Sivir and Lulu combination, LGD's bot lane has a very strong pushing ability!"
"Mid lane, Jayce vs. Vladimir."
"In the jungle, LGD had Eimy pick Sejuani for the frontline."
"Sofm goes straight for Graves! Seriously, Sofm's got a huge stage." Guan Zeyuan gave another strong boost.
[What kind of nonsense is this? Does Jiang really want Eimy dead?]
[The female pig is shooting the male gunner, oh no, I can already imagine how bloody it will be.]
Poor jungler, he probably offended the coach. Sigh.
The other lanes have been picked well; I reckon they'll win, but the jungler is going to suffer a lot.
Don't be so optimistic, they're already going to win before the game even starts? Are you LGD fans really incapable of changing your ways?
【….】
The coach stepped down.
Jiang Xia glanced at the famous Zhu Kai and felt a surge of urge to poach him.
This person is truly wasting their talents as a coach.
They are absolutely adept at training, supervising, and caring for the mental health of athletes.
The game loads to the loading screen; the lineups for both sides are as follows—
LGD (Blue) Rumble, Sejuani, Jayce, Sivir and Lulu (bot lane).
Snake (Red) Riven, Graves, Vladimir, Tristana and Braum (bot lane).
