Chapter 42: Did you see IG's strategy?
"We're all adults, can't you be a little more humble?"
As the team's strategist, Meiko calmly analyzed: "The reason IG fell into a huge disadvantage at the start was because of that major decision-making error in IG's bot lane. Don't underestimate them so early on!"
Jiejie remained silent after hearing Meiko's words.
iboy relaxed and smiled: "We really played well, so let's give the newcomers some encouragement."
Scout chimed in at the perfect moment: "Clearlove... awesome!"
IG team voice chat.
"The pace has slowed down; let's avoid battle for now."
JackeyLove's voice came through the headphones.
"They're too aggressive at this point in time. Let's release what we need to release first."
Ning continued.
The others all agreed.
After TheShy died, both sides entered a relatively long period of development.
Aside from a minor skirmish in the mid-top bushes, no kills were recorded between the two sides.
The game lasted 11 minutes and 30 seconds.
IG proactively switched their bot lane to the top lane.
They knew very well that at this point in time, they were not qualified to compete for the fire dragon.
It would be better to move the bot lane duo to the top lane; they could at least get a few more turret plates.
IG players' rest area.
Compared to Chen Song, who was staring at the screen the whole time, Mafa's attention was entirely on Chen Song.
The reason was simple: Chen Song's noise next to him was just too loud.
It wasn't that Chen Song's voice was particularly loud, but rather that his frequent chuckles made it difficult for Mafa to concentrate on the game.
"Chen Song?...Chen Song?... "
Mafa called out softly in Korean.
Seeing that Chen Song, who was wearing headphones, did not react at all, Mafa reached out and shook Chen Song.
"What's wrong, Coach Mafa?"
As Chen Song took off his headphones, he turned his head with a smile.
"Chen Song, your voice... is a bit affecting my viewing of the game."
Mafa covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "Also, what exactly did they talk about that made you sit here laughing nonstop?"
"They didn't talk much."
Chen Song blurted out something without thinking.
"Then...why are you...keep smiling?"
Mafa found it somewhat inexplicable.
As a coach, Chen Song is the only person in the lounge who can hear the players' voices in real time.
Since it was a headwind, everyone else who wasn't wearing headphones was staring intently at the screen watching the game.
The only person wearing headphones kept breaking into a maternal smile.
Who would believe that the players on the field didn't talk about anything interesting?
Was I laughing?
Chen Song smiled and said, "Coach Mafa, don't you think IG's decision-making regarding the Fire Dragon wave has changed significantly?"
"Have there been significant changes?"
"You mean the bot lane duo swapped to top lane?"
Mafa turned his gaze to the screen.
"That's right."
Switch back to the game screen.
Seeing the crocodile teleport down, JackeyLove and Baolan didn't linger in the fight. Instead, they retreated from the top lane and headed towards the mid lane through the river.
Because of a poor start to the game, coupled with Chen Song's occasional aunt-like smiles, Mafa wasn't really watching the game seriously, except for a few bursts of kills.
After Chen Song's reminder, he exclaimed in surprise with wide eyes: "Knowing that the Fire Dragon is not to be touched, JackeyLove and Baolan actually chose to go to the top lane after returning to base."
"This decision to let the dragon eat the tower skin was absolutely correct."
"Our guys on IG are actually starting to focus on resource exchange!"
"Chen Song, did you see that? They're... they're managing it, IG is managing it, did you see that?"
At the end, Mafa's voice choked with emotion.
During post-match reviews, the coaching staff repeatedly emphasized the importance of resource exchange and effective management.
Every time we review the game, we communicate well, but how do we exchange resources when we encounter the same situation in the next game?
But in reality, it's still just recklessness, nothing has really changed.
In the end, the coaching staff started to comfort themselves, thinking that this was IG's unique playstyle.
Seeing Mafa's excited expression, Chen Song was taken aback at first, then smiled and asked, "So Coach Mafa, do you think this decision was due to JackeyLove's good command, or did IG as a whole change?"
"That must be because JackeyLove was a good commander."
Realizing he had misspoke, Mafa immediately corrected himself: "No, it was the IG players who played well."
"Admittedly, after IG changed their shot-caller to JackeyLove, the team made significant changes in several decision-making processes. However, a team cannot achieve such rapid coordination in its gameplay decisions simply because they have just changed shot-callers. The players must already have such coordination before the shot-caller can further enhance their skills."
Mafa felt a chill run down her spine.
Chen Song didn't continue the discussion with Mafa about this matter. He silently handed the headphones he had taken off to Mafa: "Coach Mafa, listen for a while."
"Hehehe...hehehe..."
"Hehehe...hehehe..."
Mafa's laughter quickly drew everyone's attention.
Su Xiaolu frowned: "Coach Mafa, it's match time now, please be serious."
"Coach Mafa, it's match time now, please be serious."
Chen Song suppressed a laugh, took off Mafa's headphones, and said, "Coach Mafa... Manager Su... is looking for you."
Back to the game.
At this moment, JackeyLove and Baolan, who were moving towards the mid lane, happened to encounter Olaf and Lux at the mid-top river mouth.
Olaf was pulled down by Xayah's hook, and Rakan stepped forward to lift Olaf up.
Unexpectedly, Olaf used his ultimate to counterattack, instantly reducing the full-health Rakan to near-death.
Meanwhile, the crocodiles had already surrounded them.
Fortunately, both sides exchanged ultimate abilities and summoner spells, and EDG showed no intention of pursuing.
During the brief exchange between the two sides.
TheShy not only stole some farming time in the bottom lane, but also took the turret plating.
The game time has reached 16 minutes and 02 seconds.
EDG found an opportunity to disrupt the peaceful development rhythm of both sides.
Seeing that EDG had finished pushing down the first tower and were retreating towards their own red buff area, Ning immediately chose to counter EDG's F6 camp.
Unexpectedly, this scene was spotted by the true sight ward that EDG had placed next to F6, which revealed Ning's movements.
Coupled with the loss of vision in their own red zone, before Ning could react, EDG had already caught Ning using Sivir's ultimate to speed up their attack.
Even though he had Flash in hand, he still met his end here while being chased by EDG.
[EDG Jinoo kills IGNing!]
"If you can't reach the mid lane wave in time, don't bother farming it yet, they're all coming over."
Ning quickly ordered JackeyLove and Baolan in the mid lane to retreat.
Upon hearing Ning's voice, JackeyLove looked at the low-health siege vehicle and immediately turned back without hesitation.
From God's perspective, Karma had already ambushed the IG bot lane duo with a true sight ward in the mid and bot bushes when they were about to push the lane.
"Sivir has arrived. Can EDG hold her off?"
"Karma's empowered Q hit two people."
"Baolan is about to leave, and JackeyLove uses his ultimate to dodge the skill."
"I still want to chase, I still want to chase, Iboy still wants to chase after Baolan who is low on health."
"If his Q skill hits, it will kill Baolan when he's low on health."
