Chapter 281 5 consecutive wins!
In the Western Division, the outstanding performance of the GT team has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention.
Since the 8.11 version update, the pace of the summer season has significantly accelerated, but the average length of GT team's four consecutive games is far below the league average.
The speed at which the game progressed even surpassed the game record they had previously set. You should know that the average game duration of 23 minutes in the Spring Season was already a record in the league, but it was directly broken after the version change in the Summer Season.
What is amazing is that facing the high-speed attack of the GT team, RW and WE, two teams widely regarded as strong, found it difficult to find an effective response strategy.
The WE team has a solid lineup and strong players. In the AD position, they have the outstanding brother-in-law and world champion imp. In the middle lane is Xiye, who was once hailed as the No. 1 mid laner of the new generation, not to mention the top laner brother.
RW team is also not to be underestimated, the lineup configuration is luxurious, the light of the top lane, the power leveling doinb, and the Sima old thief who went their separate ways
However, even with such a strong lineup, the two teams failed to organize an effective counterattack when facing GT, which is truly incredible.
The strong performance of the GT team has undoubtedly brought new variables to the entire event, and has forced all opponents to be vigilant again and speed up the depth of their research.
Not only the teams in the LPL region, but teams around the world have begun a new round of research.
I hope to uncover GT’s secrets and gain their winning formula from these four games.
Obviously, this is a very complex and difficult matter.
Although the lineup system can be analyzed, whether it can achieve such an effect is another matter.
Ultimately it's a question of the players' strength.
The acceleration of the version is more like icing on the cake. I didn’t expect that in the reverse version of last year’s World Finals, GT was not weakened after the mid-season game this year, but continued to be strengthened.
Of course, it is not about strengthening the hero pool, but about speeding up.
However, this is something that Riot Games did not expect. Their idea is essentially to speed up the participation time in team battles in the bottom lane.
This then affected the middle lane, but unexpectedly, it actually strengthened GT from the side.
Because GT can gain an advantage online and then quickly snowball it, its efficiency is extremely exaggerated.
It only takes more than ten minutes to snowball to seven or eight thousand.
In this situation, there is no way to turn the situation around.
On June 6, WE returned to their home court in Xi'an with full confidence. The enthusiastic cheers of the fans were deafening as they looked forward to a hearty victory.
However, reality dealt them a heavy blow. Facing EDG, WE seemed to have not yet recovered from the heavy defeat by GT yesterday, and they were in poor form.
The progress of the game was not suspenseful, and EDG defeated WE with a clean 2:0.
At that moment, the whole audience was silent. The WE players looked dazed, as if they had lost their direction.
The fans' expectations vanished in an instant, a feeling of despair filled the air, and everyone felt that the hope of winning the championship this year had become slim again. This gap was really hard to accept.
The angry fans could no longer suppress their doubts and dissatisfaction and began to raise questions.
WE's strength on paper is luxurious. They have Dajiu-zi and world champion imp in the AD position, Xiye, who was once hailed as the best mid laner of the new generation, is in the middle lane, and the top laner Legs is also experienced.
It is really puzzling why such a strong lineup cannot play as well as it should on the court.
Many fans pointed the finger at the coach.
Since Hongmi left, the players' competitive level seems to have seriously declined.
Everyone began to doubt the coaching ability of the new coach, Nanako. Does he really have an outstanding tactical level? Or is he just a "slacker" coach who is here to make a living? For a time, all kinds of doubts and criticisms were overwhelming.
WE’s official Weibo account was also directly blasted.
If it were any other club, they would not take this matter seriously.
But for a team like WE that relies on fan economy, such an incident would be a real death sentence!
What if fans stop buying tickets or merchandise? Wouldn’t that be the end of it?
This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen!
So they did something that no one in the industry expected.
He really listened to the fans and fired Coach Cai!
This is a big deal for the alliance.
No one expected this to be the result.
For a time, the evaluation of the WE team began to become less favorable.
It's a bit exaggerated! No one has ever thought that fans can influence the club.
And this time it appeared!
Many players will really consider whether to join WE in the future at this moment.
What if you don’t play well in a game and then get benched? Isn’t that an outrageous thing?
Leaving everything to the fans to decide, it really is 60E.
It is no wonder that after all these years, the only one who could win the global finals championship was He Youjun after he entered the arena and was able to win the global finals championship in one go.
It can only be said that the previous team management also had big problems.
These need to be gradually standardized by the authorities and the clubs.
After all, many coaches are just doing nothing and waiting to die, they really have no talent.
The next day, WE team officially announced the new coach, which instantly ignited the enthusiasm of fans. When they learned that the new coach was Wei Xiao, the fans were very excited and told others about it.
In the hearts of fans, with Smile’s return, there is hope for the WE team.
After all, non-professionals are not qualified for the position of coach, and Wei Xiao, the man who plays both AD and C, will surely be able to turn the tide with his profound professional accumulation and unique understanding of the game, change WE's current predicament, and lead the team back to the top.
All I can say is that League of Legends has become very popular now since GT won the championship.
17 is also known as the first year of e-sports.
Many people only have a superficial understanding of something and just follow the crowd. This is very common.
In the clamor of online public opinion, WE's coaching change and fans' arguments are nothing but irrelevant noise to GT fans. They are only concerned with GT's dynamics.
At present, the GT team is in good shape, and the excellent start of two consecutive victories has made the fans satisfied.
The day after tomorrow, GT will have another crucial match, and fans’ attention will naturally be focused on this event.
However, before the game, all kinds of gossips were rampant, making it difficult for those fans who really loved the GT team to distinguish the truth from the false. Just now, an outrageous news came out, saying that GT team's Wushuang had a stomachache due to eating crayfish and had been hospitalized, and a photo was attached.
But eagle-eyed fans quickly saw through the rumor. It turned out that the so-called hospitalization photo was taken when Wushuang last went to the dentist.
There is no way around it. The GT team is so popular right now, and some people just want to create chaos at this time.
They were so excited to see others busy and frantic. However, these rumors were quickly dispelled before they could cause much trouble.
Immediately afterwards, the GT Club issued an announcement, stating that it would hold the rumor makers accountable.
At this moment, those who spread rumors and caused trouble were instantly panicked and regretted their actions.
The GT Club has always been very tough in protecting the rights of players, and this has been even more so since winning the championship. It will never allow players to be affected by any false statements.
Sure enough, the scene that everyone liked to see took place.
The rumormonger posted a false Weibo in the morning, but hastily deleted it in the evening and also pinned an apology statement. This was really hilarious.
However, no matter how much they apologize, none of them can escape legal responsibility.
Even though there are still some people who try to make sarcastic remarks in the comment section, these voices seem extremely weak in the face of the ironclad facts.
After all, the GT team’s brilliant record is there, and in the world of e-sports, results are everything.
As long as you have good results, your fans and audiences may even tolerate some minor flaws. But once you have no results, even if you brag about yourself to the sky, you will only become the target of public criticism and be condemned by everyone.
On June 6, Sunday, the sun was shining brightly and the battle on the e-sports stage was raging.
The GT team appeared again in the second round of the summer season, and their opponent was the OMG team.
The OMG team's lineup has not changed much compared to the past. The top laner is Xi Yang, the jungler is Mountion, the mid laner is the powerful Leng Shao, the AD position has been replaced by Xuan Xuan Pi, and the support is still Five.
However, the OMG team was in poor form in the summer season and suffered two consecutive losses at the start.
Facing the powerful GT team, almost no one was optimistic that OMG could win this game. The glorious era of the dark OMG had long gone, not to mention that even the ace player Sima Laozei had transferred to the RW team.
In the current OMG team, the only player who can be called a "big shot" is Leng Shao.
It has to be said that Leng Shao’s personal strength should not be underestimated. Last year he was awarded the title of Solo Kill King.
But if the current situation of the OMG team continues to develop, even if Leng Shao has outstanding strength, it is likely that he will find it difficult to turn the tide and will eventually be buried.
After all, OMG has now become a team that gives people the impression of being in a bad state.
The result of the game was just as everyone expected before the game, there was no suspense.
With their outstanding performance, the GT team easily defeated the OMG team with a clean 2:0.
The duration of both games did not exceed 25 minutes. Such a fast and exciting game process made the audience feel very satisfied.
Watching the GT team's games always makes people feel extremely comfortable. Some viewers even joked that even if they take a nap, they only need to wait for the result of the game after waking up.
In both games, the GT team chose a strong mid-jungle combination and took direct control of the middle lane right from the start.
Afterwards, they frequently launched attacks on OMG's bottom lane, causing OMG to collapse in around 10 minutes in both games.
Except for a small dragon stolen by the jungler alone, almost all the map resources were firmly controlled by the GT team.
其中，选手李逸的表现尤为亮眼，他分别以8-0-9和9-1-11的优异数据，连续拿下了两把比赛的MVP。
With this victory, the GT team easily achieved three consecutive victories.
Not only that, the GT team players' data are also at the top of the league list. Such dominance is amazing, even surpassing their performance in the spring season, which is really outrageous and shocking.
On June 6, the GT team faced FPX in the fourth game of the summer season.
The young team FPX has indeed been greatly affected without Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang, and the situation has become increasingly difficult.
Now, the middle lane has become their few reliance, and they hope that Uzi, who once created the shock wave theory, can take up the banner.
However, perhaps it was fate, or maybe because of his ID, Uzi's performance in the game was really unsatisfactory and his form was low.
In the first game, Li Yi didn't even choose a highly offensive hero, but instead took out Taliyah, which was slightly weakened in this version.
What is shocking is that the opponent seemed to be taking the skills voluntarily. At level 3, without ignite, Li Yi completed a solo kill on Wuzhuang. This scene made Li Yi laugh. It has to be said that Wuzhuang's operation was really amazing. He was really a god. It was really a bit outrageous.
After Taliyah succeeded in a solo kill, the rhythm of the game was firmly controlled by GT without any suspense. They quickly snowballed and won the first game in just 21 minutes.
In the second game, the intensity of the game suddenly increased. Li Yi directly locked on to Leblanc, while Uzi chose Galio to counter.
But what is puzzling is that when the game reached the middle stage, when GT team was preparing to clear vision in the Baron pit to take the Baron, Wushuang ran to the bottom lane alone to kill soldiers. This decision directly resulted in FPX's Galio not being on the front battlefield at the first time, and he could not enter the dragon pit to participate in the team battle.
Li Yi seized the opportunity and killed all four enemies, achieving four kills in one fell swoop.
Galio, who arrived late, had no choice but to use his E skill to escape the battlefield.
After taking down the Baron, the GT team continued to pursue the victory and ended the game in one wave at 22 minutes. With this victory, the GT team won four consecutive victories, and their dominance on the field became more and more prominent!
July 7st, the heat of the e-sports arena has not diminished at all. For the GT team, this day has a special meaning because it is their last game before the off-season.
From July 7th to July 5th, the highly anticipated second Intercontinental Championship is about to kick off.
This game brings together the top teams from the three major regions of LPL, LMS, and LCK to fight for the honor of their region.
So before the offseason, even though GT’s opponent was the Snakes, their home stadium in Shenzhen was still packed.
Everyone still enjoyed the e-sports visual feast in the top corner.
“Congratulations GT!”
"Defeated Snake 2:0! Won 5 straight wins in the Western Conference regular season!"
"GT is the only team that has not lost even a single game. Their hot form continues!"
With Wang Duoduo's final commentary, the game came to an end!
