matchstick heaven

The kid Black Tea is very fair and gentle, and usually doesn't talk much. As a C position in the middle, he is a bit too inconspicuous.

However, Shen Qing has always admired his style of play. Among a group of rookies, he appears to be very sophisticated and has a strong ability to accept.

He is not as obsessed with showmanship as other rookies, but is very "obedient", he will practice what the team needs him to take, and he will execute perfectly how the team needs him to play.

Therefore, when Black Tea proposed to chat with Shen Qing, Shen Qing was really surprised.

In the evening, the other team members had gone out on vacation, and Black Tea came to find Shen Qing as promised.The two sat down at their respective workstations in the training room. Hongcha was different from other players in that he always sat very straight, with his hands and feet neatly placed.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qing asked.

Black Tea took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "Coach, I think I... have no confidence."

Shen Qing was really taken aback.

"How could it be? We have played very well recently, especially you, and there are many people on the Internet who are praising you?"

"But I know it's because my teammates are playing well. It seems that I have a lot of damage or something, but... I don't know. The more I play recently, the more I feel unconfident. Everyone is improving. I seem to feel that after every game Almost, sometimes when the state is a little bit worse, I mess up the whole round and win without doing anything."

Shen Qing smiled slightly: "This is a very normal thing. You haven't played the game for a short time. In fact, it's really normal to have ups and downs. It doesn't matter whether you are mixed or C. If you can win the game, it shows this style of play. no problem."

Black Tea nodded awkwardly, hesitated for a while, and did not answer.

Shen Qing suddenly guessed a little bit of his thoughts: "Are you... are you worried about the playoffs? Are you afraid of playing BO5? Or are you afraid of meeting Ah Guang and Luo Te?"

"Well... a little bit."

It seems to be right.

There are a few teams in the regular season that have a few games left, but judging from the current standings, there is not much suspense.Even due to the obvious gap between the teams this season, it is already possible to make reasonable guesses about which teams will enter the semi-finals.

The Eagles faced KOG in the first game of the summer split, and because they hadn't returned to their form in that game, they didn't lose their temper at all.After a long schedule, the current KOG, like the Hawks, has become stronger.Their mid laner Li Yunguang was originally the absolute core of the team and is known as the top of the LPL mid laner. This season, he has exploded with a strong carry ability. He is almost a C and an MVP.

The other team, AT, is also the only top four team in the Eagles that did not play a BO5 in the Spring Split. According to the most recent ranking given by the official, it currently ranks first among mid-level units in the world.

And Hongcha himself, as a super rookie, was called "Little Ah Guang" when he was just transferred from LDL to LPL in S14, and because of the similar hero pool, he was often compared with Lott.

In the regular season of this summer season, the Eagles were a bit miserable in the middle when they played against KOG and AT.

"Do you think you will lose if you meet again?" Shen Qing asked him.

There was a hesitant look on Hongcha's face, and he was thinking seriously: "I... I don't know, I don't want to lose again."

Shen Qing smiled encouragingly: "If you want to win, just do more exercises. You can practice with Pan Luping. Originally, I also intended to make your hero pools overlap more."

"it is good."

Black Tea obediently agreed, as usual.

"Black tea, I actually think those who say that you look like Ah Guang and Lott are really trying to praise you."

"I know……"

"But I don't quite agree with that. I don't think you look like anyone."

Black Tea looked at Shen Qing and asked, "Really? They all call me Little Aguang..."

"When you were in LDL, your style of play and hero pool were a bit like him, but at that time he was in full bloom, and almost all mid laners in LPL and LDL were learning from him. But now, especially this season, I think you have changed. It’s huge, haven’t you noticed it yourself?”

"Me? Have I changed?"

"Your current style of play can be said to be the Eagles' middle lane style of play. Each of you is the same and has become a part of the Hawks as a whole. This is a team game. It is meaningless to single out a player to compete. You Instead of thinking about whether you can beat Ah Guang, you should think about whether Eagle can win against KOG."

"That will definitely work!"

Shen Qing smiled briefly: "Then there is no problem."

"Um……"

"If you want to win the opponent in the laning phase, you should spend more energy on studying him, understand the opponent thoroughly, and then practice in a targeted manner, so that you will not be afraid of the opponent when you are facing each other. But I think the team is more important. You have to Know how to help the team win the game."

Black Tea seemed to have figured it out, and stood up excitedly: "Thank you, coach!"

"You're welcome, I think you are the most suitable mid laner for the Eagles."

"I also think you are the best coach in the world!"

After the little boy yelled this sentence loudly, he ran upstairs to the room.

Shen Qing was left in a daze for a while, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After that, everyone else was immersed in the idle atmosphere of the holiday. Apart from organizing a group to watch the live broadcast of other teams' matches for a few days in the middle, only Hongcha stayed honestly at the base for training every day.

Pan Luping practiced quite tensely before, but recently he relaxed a bit and went back to his hometown.

The bottom lane team went to a neighboring province with old teammates from other teams to visit the game exhibition being held there.

Little F, a jungler, makes dinner appointments with friends every day, makes movie appointments, and comes back in the middle of the night.

Shen Qing communicated with the assistant coach in private, shook his head helplessly, and predicted: "It seems that we still have to lose."

The assistant coach also nodded respectfully: "Little B boys!"

Sure enough, in the first game of the semi-finals of the playoffs a few weeks later, the defending Eagles unexpectedly lost 1-3 to KOG, who had come up from the fifth place, and fell into the loser's bracket.

This is the second time the Eagles have lost to KOG in the summer game. The best performance in the game was Black Tea, who was said to be "suppressed by Ah Guang's blood" before the game. There was a wave of being caught by 4 people on the opposite side, which broke the key rhythm point in that round.

The next day, the bottom half also decided the outcome, AT3-1 defeated opponent QTG.

After the game, the official also launched a special playoff situation analysis program.

It was mentioned in the program that this is the first time QTG has entered the semi-finals of the playoffs again after 2 years, and it is also the most promising year in the career of the star player 3you in the team, and it is the closest he is to the world championship.

It's a pity that QTG didn't get points in the spring game, and the other three teams and the 5th-ranked PP have high points. Unless QTG reaches the finals, 3you will still miss the world stage.

Shen Qing is watching this program in the training room of the base in order to study the playoff situation of each team.He looked at the close-up shot of 3you on the screen coldly, not with fear as before, but with a strong desire to win.

He turned his head to look for the position of the Moon God, and shouted over there: "Moon God!"

"Ugh?"

"If you dare to play a negative record again, I will put your head in the pot and blow it up!"

"..."

"Hahahahaha..." The others roared with laughter.

As the person with the most outrageous record in the last game, Luna knew that he had frequent problems in the laning phase of the bot lane, and would die as soon as he was caught. In a round of BO5, he only took 1 head and sent out 8 One, it is true that he is committing a crime, so he can only admit his mistake with a sad face.

"Don't scold, don't scold, I know!"

"Black tea!" Shen Qing turned around and continued to shout.

"Ah?" Black Tea was taken aback.

"Do you have the confidence to play 3you?!" Shen Qing almost shouted.

"That must be there! Watch me kill him alone!" Everyone knew that 3you was a lump in Coach Shen's heart, and Hongcha didn't want to show weakness, so he yelled back.

Old F smiled and said: "It is really necessary to get serious, if you lose again, you will be gone."

Pan Luping opened the game interface silently, and returned to the previous rhythm of high-intensity hero training.

When fighting KOG, he can play the hero that black tea takes, but he also has self-knowledge, knowing that his top lane play is not as good as the carry in the middle lane.So he was a bit unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to practice again.

Luna and old F looked at each other, sat down in a tacit understanding, and started to double row.Since the re-opening of the high-segment double row two years ago, the two of them have almost stopped solo rowing every time they come to the playoffs. This is an old rule.

Black Tea has also started to practice. Recently, he seems to have regained his confidence. He has also practiced a lot of choices outside the hero pool that were not often used in the past, and the results are good.

He is also more and more able to find his own rhythm, using Shen Qing's usual teaching ideas to score points, and has become the mid laner black tea belonging to this Eagles team, and is no longer the "little Aguang" that the outside world said.

Shen Qing was also very pleased to see the players recover their training status so quickly.

He glanced at little F who was still drinking water, and asked, "Solo?"

Little F put down his water glass and jumped up: "Come on!"

Shen Qing picked up the marker pen and wrote "We must be the champions" on the whiteboard, then put down the pen, returned to his desk, sat down, opened the game, and accepted the game invitation.
