"Tonight, I'm not here to review and analyze the match for you. It's not to be a hindsight or a hindsight.
"It's so that all of you can be more aware of one thing —"
"Today's set of 'best-of-five' matches. Although KG lost to SSK 1: 3, SSK didn't have it easy at all.
"From a certain point of view, the two teams that are fighting are already on the same starting line."
"Although SSK won 3: 1 in the end.
"But they only won in terms of the average individual strength of the players' lineups, as well as in terms of more skilled coordination in many tactical operations."
"As for the understanding of the game version and the tactical game itself —
"The strongest team in the world no longer has an absolute advantage."
"You can also think back to the four matches of the set of 'best-of-five' matches where SSK had a convenient advantage in terms of team composition. If it wasn't for the fact that KG only had Tian Tian as his trump card, SSK might have had a bigger headache when it came to choosing the 'ban'/'pick'."
After the review and analysis meeting, Number One spoke to the members of Team God in the training room. At the end of the summary, he swept his gaze across everyone and said unhurriedly:
"So —"
"The reality is right in front of all of you, and it's good news to be excited about.
"That is, in terms of understanding the version and tactical operations, the gap between you guys and SSK that you guys used to have is basically gone."
"If KG can do it, your Team God can only do better.
"Go through the analysis done by your Senior Number Four in your head a few times, learn from KG's mistakes, summarize KG's experience, and further grasp SSK's weaknesses.
"Follow this train of thought. For the next five days, focus more on training and preparation.
"This match —"
"There will be plenty of opportunities. Take your time and fight with them."
The members of the God Battle Squad couldn't help but feel their blood boil at Number One's casual words. They responded with a loud roar.
The coaches and team leaders of the club nodded repeatedly with a look of agreement.
That's right.
That was the principle.
The development of professional eSports in League of Legends to this day and age, at least in terms of understanding of the game version and tactics, there was already a ceiling. Even the publicly acknowledged strongest team in the world, SSK, was unable to break out of this framework and reach new heights. This allowed the other top teams in the world to quickly catch up and even up the gap.
That was why this year's finals were so intense and difficult to separate.
It was because everyone was now standing on the same starting line, and there was no longer such an obvious disparity like in the past.
Because of this —
SSK, who had occupied the throne of the world's strongest team for several years, was finally unable to maintain their position. Other teams finally had the strength and opportunity to challenge the former, and perhaps even take them down.
…
The first half of the recap meeting in the training room was a rigorous and serious analysis that pointed out the direction of training and preparation for the next five days. In the end, Number One's words were like a shot of adrenaline to the God squad.
The meeting was over.
The members of Team God, Lin Feng, Li Shiyi, Ceng Rui, and Tang Bingyao left one after another to return to their rooms to rest.
Only Number One and a few others were left in the training room. Number Three's mouth twitched as he watched the youngsters leave.
"You bastard —"
"Next time, you should go give speeches to people to cheer them on."
"He's really good at fooling these kids."
Number One smiled.
"I still have to give them some confidence."
"At this point, training and preparation is one thing, but confidence and morale … will have a huge impact on the outcome of the match."
His words implied that he agreed with Number Three's assessment.
Yes.
From a certain point of view, his words were a form of "deception".
Of course, every word he said was true. In terms of understanding of the game version and tactics, Team God was now on the same starting line as the world's strongest team, SSK.
But …
This didn't mean that Team God had the ability to defeat SSK.
It was just that in his speech just now, Number One had selectively skipped over the part about the "average individual strength of the players". Instead, he had focused on the other aspects that Team God currently possessed.
But …
The average individual strength of the players could never be easily ignored.
In fact, it was precisely in this area that SSK had relied on to dominate the professional esports scene for several years.
How did KG lose?
When Tian Tian's top laner was at the pinnacle of what a professional top laner could achieve, he only barely managed to win one match against SSK.
What was the reason?
This was because every single member of SSK's team was the ace of the team.
This wasn't just a team without any shortcomings.
In fact …
Even if they had the shortest "shortcoming", their individual strength was at least at the level of Seven Kings.
In the face of such a team, even God- Hand of God, who was stronger than KG, was at a disadvantage in terms of the individual ability of the players in each position.
"We still have to focus on the coordination between the single AD and the two CS."
Number Four sighed.
No. 1 nodded and looked at his beautiful fiancée. "That's why I need you to help Xiao Wu out for a while and give Xiao Ye some training. At the very least, his bottom lane AD must be able to hold his own against SSK's bottom lane duo. He must even have a slight advantage over them."
Number Five agreed.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you guys do the same as before. Train as hard as you can." Number One then looked at his other three companions. "Don't hold back. For the next five days, just train as hard as you can."
These words came out of his mouth so casually.
Number Two sneered.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Number Three raised his eyebrows and looked at Number One.
"So, Ah Xing —"
Number One grunted. "Second Brother was in charge for a while, right? Now … I'll take over. "
It was still a casual arrangement.
But the meaning behind his words was incomparably heavy.
Number Four's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, Ah Xing's last bit … should be able to make up for it before the finals."
Number One shook his head.
"Don't be too sure."
"Even if it's me, I can only try my best. Plus —"
At this point, Number One paused for a moment and slowly looked at his mouth.
"SSK's Han brat …"
"It's not like he doesn't have help."
Number Three's eyes narrowed into a sharp line. "Oh?"
Number One smiled faintly.
"Li Daozai … at this point, he probably can't sit still."
