What made Li Xu feel slightly regretful was that most of the dishes on the table were relatively light in order to take care of Jiang Xiuxi. The rice and pork slices and sweet and sour pork ribs were not spicy at all.
In the eyes of many people, spiciness was the most distinctive feature of Sichuan Cuisine. However, nearly half of the dishes in Sichuan Cuisine were not spicy at all.
The three of them began to eat while Da Sha buried his head in his own food.
The three of them ate in silence. Other than Lin Yuqing occasionally calling out to Li Xu and Jiang Xiuxi, there were few conversations at the table.
Li Xu felt uncomfortable holding it in. He was a chatterbox, but he was afraid that he would provoke Jiang Xiuxi if he opened his mouth, so he could only hold it in. After all, he had promised Lin Yuqing that he would not cause trouble.
Jiang Xiuxi, on the other hand, was not in the mood to talk when she saw Li Xu.
Li Xu did not speak and could only bury his head in his food.
After the meal, Li Xu consciously wanted to help clear the table, but he was chased away by Lin Yuqing.
Sigh! If this continues, I will get lazier and lazier.
Li Xu sat down and digested his food. Then, he said goodbye to Lin Yuqing and prepared to return to the club. The club had a practice match in the afternoon, so he had to go back early.
However, as soon as he opened the door, Da Sha rushed out and looked like he wanted to go with him.
"Jiang Xiuxi, come and stop your Da Sha. He's going to run away with me," Li Xu said.
"Ah Sha, do you want to be shot again?" Jiang Xiuxi ran over and pulled Da Sha into the door and scolded him.
"Owww ~ ~ ~" Da Sha roared at Jiang Xiuxi again.
Li Xu quickly closed the door. Listening to Da Sha's undulating cries, Li Xu's mood inexplicably improved.
Back at the training base.
His teammates were all in the training room, but they were all waiting for the practice match in the afternoon, so they did not do any ranking practice.
MATA seemed to be in a good mood and was talking cheerfully. It seemed that the conflict with his girlfriend had been resolved.
Teddy and Haru looked at Mata enviously as if they were single dogs. It was as if Mata's depressed state didn't diminish their desire to be single at all.
Li Ge, on the other hand, was watching a video on the computer with Coach Kim Jong Un.
Li Xu leaned forward to take a look. It was probably a video that he had made himself. It was the analysis of the IG competition.
Li Xu watched for a while. He had to admit that the IG competition was sometimes very similar to RANK. Even though the opponent had already taken out two of his teammates, the remaining three brothers still rushed up and fought three against five. Most importantly, they still won.
If it was a normal LCK team, they would definitely choose to retreat. If they forced a 3v5 and lost, the team leader would definitely be scolded by the coach.
On the line, their three lines were unusually fierce, as if there was a jungler squatting behind them.
On the line, Urgot from That clearly didn't even have a view of the river, but he relied on his flash to directly suppress Cheyenne. He didn't even need to attack from the opposite side, and he took 20 hits in 6 minutes.
Moreover, this team's rhythm was basically based on fighting to gain an advantage. When they were in the lead, they would expand their advantage and secure victory. When they were behind, they would fight to reverse the situation. Often, they would suddenly end the match in one go.
Of course, there were times when IG would fail, but most of the time, they would be able to gain the upper hand in this kind of chaotic battle.
Li Ge watched for a while. "Hmm ~ ~ ~ This team is very confident as last year's champion. Their individual abilities are very strong, but they seem to be too impulsive."
Jin Zhengxun: "Actually, this team's competition has completely overturned LCK's traditional operating model. In the past, we relied on obtaining resources and through snowballing, we were able to slowly build up an advantage. Even if we didn't produce a single kill, we could still build up a huge economic advantage and secure victory."
Jin Zhengxun paused. "But when competing with this team, they will crazily look for you to fight, and you have no choice but to follow their rhythm. It's very difficult to slow down. Their operating model relies on fighting to gain an advantage, but the current version's rhythm is getting faster and faster. This kind of active strategy is more suitable for the current version than LCK's operating model."
Li Ge was silent for two seconds. "The key is that their individual abilities are very strong. Even when they are behind financially, they can often use their skills to gain an advantage among the team leaders. That's quite scary. In addition, with the current system, perhaps the opponent will operate for 20 minutes and build up a small advantage. After one round of fighting, they may not be able to make a comeback."
Jin Zhengxun looked at the two people watching the video together. "What do you think is the best way to fight against this team in the mid-season match?"
Li Xu said matter-of-factly, "They are strong in the lane. Won't it be over if we just beat them up in the lane? Also, they like to fight non-stop, but once the more they fight, the more disadvantaged they become. Won't their mentality explode? "
It was easy for him to say. Li Ge and Jin Zhengxun were helpless against Li Xu's optimism.
Li Xu continued, "But we just finished the third round of the Spring Season. We even lost the previous round. Is it really good to study our opponents for the MSI mid-season match right now? What if we can't make it to the mid-season match? "
Li Xu killed the conversation again.
At three in the afternoon, the mock match with their opponents began.
Today's mock match was against C9, the North American team that had been beaten up by their senior every year.
Although C9 had only won the LCS championship twice, this team performed exceptionally well on the international stage.
Ever since C9 had been established, they had never missed the international finals. From S3 to S8, they had made it to the finals six times in a row. They had made it to the top eight three times and the top four once. They were the best team in the North American region in the S League.
Apart from C9, there were two other teams that had never missed an international match. They were EDG from the LPL and G2 from the LEC.
Of course, most people knew about C9 through their AD player, crossdresser Sneaky.
C9 had a strong ability to adapt. They had played a whole year of operations last year. In the end, when they came to the international tournament, they stumbled all the way through the qualifiers.
After discovering that the current version was a fighting version, this team quickly adjusted their playstyle. They learned as they played, and started to play very offensively. In the top eight, they beat up the representative operations team of LCK, AFS, and were directly eliminated with a score of 0: 3.
C9's adaptability came from their various playstyles. They had been in the LCS for many years, so they had seen all kinds of playstyles. In the European and American regions, if you didn't have a few strange playstyles, you would be embarrassed to compete.
It was very difficult for LCK to learn from C9 and adjust their playstyle on the spot. This was because, from the start of the league, the operations style was firmly engraved on every team.
From the players to the coaches, even if there were occasionally a few more radical teams, they would definitely not be as extreme as IG. Most of them still focused on operations.
