matchstick heaven

"Let's congratulate this team from Brazil! Q7! Defeated the No. 1 seed Eagle from LPL in this BO1!"

……

"Wow... This game is really amazing! It's thrilling! Congratulations to the OL! Here we also have to sweat for Eagle. The first round of the group stage has suffered two consecutive losses. The rest of the schedule is a bit Difficult..."

……

"Congratulations to Eagle! Finally! 42 minutes of fierce fighting! Finally won this key victory and made a good start! But having said that, the performance of the Eagles today still worries the fans."

……

The e-sports incubation base in Zhuhai.

It is 2 o'clock in the afternoon at this moment, the autumn sun is not too violent, it just transmits the atmosphere of the clear sky by the sea to the room just right.

Shen Qing, who was used to the dark atmosphere of the Shanghai base, couldn't help but frowned, but now he didn't want to look at the screen, so he didn't pull the curtains.

It's nice to get some sun once in a while.

"We haven't played very well recently," he began to speak. "The first round of the game is a bit tight, and I haven't had time to summarize with everyone. Let's chat today before the start of the training game."

The team members surrounded him and listened carefully.

"First of all, our coaching staff wants to apologize to everyone," Shen Qing bowed slightly, "We didn't understand this version well enough, and we didn't catch up with the OP hero of the new version, which made everyone play badly, I'm sorry."

Luna curled up in the chair in a distorted posture, rubbing his eyes as if he was still asleep, and said lazily: "Coach, don't apologize, we just want to win the next game."

Hongcha said: "We didn't play well either, and there is something wrong with our state."

Old F answered: "Coach, the plan for the next round of BP should come out as soon as possible, we don't need your apology."

At this moment, Shen Qing felt a little sour.

He thought to himself: This is indeed the best team I have ever led.

"Don't worry, the new BP idea has come out."

Shen Qing listed the final summary list in the notebook on the whiteboard.It includes OP heroes, T1 heroes, and panacea options for each position, as well as outfits, rune ideas, lineup matching, and skill plans.

Before the start of the match, each team had something to hide, but now that the first round of the group stage is over, they can still find out a lot of research results of other teams from the field.

The mistakes made by the coaching staff were mainly focused on the hero Jess. Looking at the panel, I thought it was strengthened, but in fact it was just changed to make 1V1 better. The trap of the version of the group made Pan Luping feel embarrassed when he played a group several times.

"No matter how you change the previous version of Jess, the team play is always very strong. This time it became useless. We didn't find out in time. In the first round, the three BO1s have been robbed. After that, we will change our thinking. The main consideration is to go on the road. Jax, the Four Sisters, Seti, Kenan, Gnar, Pan Luping, what level are you heroes now?"

Pan Luping replied decisively: "I can take them all."

"Yes, there is also the jungle aspect. In the previous summer split, we played most of the battles, but now there are some changes in this version. One is that Lilia can no longer be selected. Lilia is a trash hero."

Everyone laughed.

"It seems to be popular to play prince recently?" Old F asked.

Shen Qing nodded: "There are also spiders, and Qiyana is also played by some people. A team in Group D played well that day. Our little F Qiyana played well. You can try it. Spiders have to practice .”

Little F was a little frustrated: "Oh my god, I hate the hero spider the most, it's creepy just looking at it."

"That has to be practiced. If you really don't want to take it, you can just ban this hero once, and you won't be allowed to take it in the future," Shen Qing joked. Relatively few, if you play these two, others should give more resources to the jungler, and then we will practice in the training game."

Little F asked: "But it's not very wild now, right?"

"It is true that it is not a pure wild core version, but the jungle area now has a variety of ways to play. I think LEC has a strong team this year. They are very strong in the jungle. We exchanged information with AT for pure wild core. AT thinks It is very disadvantageous to use the rhythmic style of play to play against this pure wild core system, so we'd better back it up, so as not to encounter a knockout match."

"Okay, I'll practice and see."

"Brother Cha is in good form recently. Before that, he was mainly trying to force a swing position. Sometimes the heroes selected for you are not very good. Your own hero pool is fine. You can see if you are interested in the heroes picked by other teams. Yes, you can practice by yourself, or you can double row with Little F, the cooperation between you two is very important."

"it is good."

"Luna, have you been in a good state recently?"

Luna's two long legs rested on the analyst's chair, and he slumped sideways in the chair, shaking his head indifferently: "It's okay."

Shen Qing couldn't help but wanted to laugh, and said, "Why? I'm afraid that the situation in the next lane will slow you down. Did you secretly practice on the trumpet while everyone was asleep recently?"

The others laughed again.

Yueshen laughed angrily, and said, "Get lost!"

In fact, AD is like this, sometimes gods and sometimes ghosts, very hungry.Fortunately for Shen Qing, Luna has indeed been training more seriously recently than before, and has become more focused on the field.

"Old F, how do you feel these few games?"

"My form is actually okay, but overall I am not very comfortable playing."

"Well, I know," Shen Qing said, "On the one hand, there is something wrong with the hero I chose for you, on the other hand, we feel that Qin Nu is getting up recently, what do you think?"

"Qin Nu is really strong, after the main equipment is changed, it is especially suitable for her."

"In the group stage, we will try our best to stabilize the qualifying first. If conditions permit, we will try it out."

"Okay. I think cats are nice too."

"Well... yes, if the lineup is good with cats, you can try it. You pay attention to the training rhythm, and don't forget to do the usual shoulder exercises."

"know."

"Xiao Liang, you still have the same problem as I told you before, you need to expand your hero pool, first practice the ones that are more versatile and easy to choose, and after that, you also need to practice the piano girl and cat mentioned just now. "

The young assistant mad nodded: "Yeah, I know."

Luna glanced at the newly added assistant, and said loudly confidently: "Don't panic, let me give you a skin."

"hahahahahahahahaha……"

"Old Moon, you are so disgusting!"

Everyone laughed, and Shen Qing also laughed.

After the meeting of the Eagles, the whole team trained intensively all day long, and made an appointment for a training match the next afternoon. When they played the game in the evening, they finally won the most hearty victory since the start of the global finals. .

Even though it was only a BO1, the feeling of finding the rhythm to win the game is still very cool.

The players raised their arms and cheered on the field, and Shen Qing yelled "Nice" from behind, letting out a sigh of relief.

The auditorium below the stage was noisy, and I couldn't hear what everyone was shouting, but the whole team was very happy to win the game. They walked around bouncing around, and their childish appearance made fans and interview hosts smile.

Among the indistinguishable shouts, several loud voices could be heard shouting "Eaglefly", and some people shouted "Old F Come on" in high spirits, and the voices cheering other players could be vaguely recognized.

When they stepped off the stage, everyone was still a little confused.

"Isn't that true? Shouting so passionately... Is it because I lost too much before and was scolded more fiercely, so the audience is so excited when I win today?" Little F asked.

Old F scratched his head, also wondering: "Why are you so enthusiastic today, these people?"

Luna raised his eyebrows and shook his head to express his ignorance.

"Forget it, don't care about them," said old F, "we're in second place now, right?"

Shen Qing answered from the side: "Well, so far Q7 has won all games. We have lost two games. After that, we must win all games. The ranking depends on Q2's face."

"Tsk, I'm uncomfortable."

"The Brazilian tortoise is so strong this year."

Shen Qing sighed, and pointed in the direction of another venue: "Just now the results of the first round of the second round of Group D came out, and POP was directly eliminated."

"Huh? Is it so miserable?"

Everyone had just played a remote training match with POP before leaving Shanghai, and now that the opponent has been eliminated, it is unavoidable to be a little bit embarrassed.

"The lack of Lu Man has a huge impact, but his current physical condition, it is said that let alone the game, he can't even play in the daily rankings. There is no way."

"Ugh……"

Shen Qing said: "So we still have to tighten the string in our hearts, and don't follow in their footsteps."

"I know." Luna's calm answer revealed confidence.

"Come on next time!"

Everyone shouted: "Come on!"

After that, the Eagles seemed to be activated back to the state in the second half of the summer game, with gods blocking and killing gods and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddha. In the last two BO1 rounds, they all won the game in less than 20 minutes.

The whole world is discussing such an Eagles team, which is so strong that it is almost invincible.

It's a pity that the Brazilian team Q7 in the same group only lost to the Eagles in the second round. In the end, the Eagles could only qualify as second in the group.

This also made some bad-mouthing and mocking voices on the Internet.

But it doesn't matter to the Eagles, after all, all members handed over their mobile phones, and turning on the computer directly opens the game client.They don't know anything about what's happening on the Internet.

At the same time, the other three teams in the LPL also successfully qualified. KOG and AT lived up to expectations and both ranked first in the group, while PP was relatively reluctant. After all, the opponents in their group are not weak.

The draw ceremony was held on the evening when all the final rounds were played.As a result, the Eagles will face the No. [-] seed of the LCK, and the first team in Group C, UNIKO.

This team is very legendary. It has won 4 MSI championships in the history of the team, but it was overwhelmed as soon as the summer split came. S12 introduced an LPL jungler TOTO and then began to explode, all the way to the global finals, and there. One year won the championship.

S12 is a big regret in Shen Qing's heart, so every time he meets this team, he really wants to win.

Before going to Xi'an, the place where the quarter-finals will be played, all members of the Eagles felt as if they had been given blood, and the entire temporary training base was rolled up, as if they were trying harder.

Shen Qing and the entire coaching staff almost ate, and didn't go to rest at night. They stayed in the meeting room to discuss BP, in order to inform the players to practice heroes and lineups in time.

The players are also working hard.

When Shen Qing came out to go to the bathroom at 10 o'clock in the evening, she saw Luna and Xiao Liang in the double row in the training room, old F was watching from behind, and on the other side, Little F and Black Tea were in the double row. UNIKO's young top laner genius KUCHI has the first perspective of the lane.

When it was past 2 o'clock at night, Zhang Renmin forced everyone to have a midnight snack. Shen Qing came out of the conference room again, and saw that everyone was still sitting in the chairs and playing the game as before.

Even Zhou Chenshan started to synchronize 996.

The application testing of KUP's new engine on various games has begun. Although Zhou Chenshan is not at the KUP headquarters in Shanghai, he has to participate in testing, acceptance and decision-making remotely.The Hawks gave him a room at the makeshift practice facility, and he would sometimes hold teleconferences all day long, without showing his face from morning till night.

On the night before heading to Xi'an, all members of the Eagles stayed up until dawn.

Shen Qing walked out of the conference room at 6 o'clock in the morning, and found that there was still the sound of a meeting in Zhou Chenshan's room. He quietly sent in the almost untouched fruit plate in the conference room, walked out to the training room, and saw that all the staff were still present state.

Xiao Liang is resting for the time being, and now the old F is playing.

"Coach." The little assistant greeted him when he saw him coming.

Shen Qing smiled and asked, "How was the fight?"

"I think it's fine."

Luna answered: "That's right, quite savvy."

The little assistant scratched his head embarrassingly.

"I originally wanted to let you go up to the group stage to feel the atmosphere, but the results are not very good, there is no way, let's see if there is a chance for you to go up and exercise."

"Wow...is it a little too early?"

Shen Qing smiled: "You don't have to be afraid, Moon God will teach you."

"Oh good... Coach, can I call home?"

Shen Qing looked at his young and immature face, with a little excitement in his eyes, and more anxiety.Knowing that he might be on the court soon, he was nervous.

"Okay, tell the family that you are safe, but don't fight for too long, come back early and fight two more."

"Ok, I know!"

The child jumped up happily and ran away. Shen Qing looked at his back looking for the team leader to ask for a mobile phone, and sighed: "After all, he is still a child, Luna, take care of him, you know?"

Luna stretched her neck and shoulders, and said in a drawn-out tone: "I see—"

Shen Qing hopes that old F will not be in trouble, but Xiao Liang must also be trained.

Fortunately, Xiaoliang's talent and understanding of the game are really good. Although he will play the world championship for the first time, the psychological pressure will be a bit heavy, but with Luna watching him, he should not lose the chain.

Shen Qing hopes that this young assistant can carry Eagle's future.
