Chapter 9 KG's Resilience
Lin Kong shook his head slightly and muttered with some regret after TheShy died. Now TheShy doesn't have much of a chance left; the rest of the game is just garbage time.
Zhu Kai, who was standing next to him, looked puzzled. "President Lin, didn't one group die? How is it over already?"
"EDG couldn't take Baron either. Our 1-for-1 trade felt alright."
"We can just wait for Fiora to respawn and then go and fight them. We're not that far behind in the front lines, are we?"
Hearing this, Lin Kong smiled slightly, "Xiao Kai, you can go play on the computer over there, or you can stream to attract some viewers. I'll call you after the match against EDG."
"Is the homepage website for our KG that I asked you to make ready?"
Lin Kong didn't explain much to Zhu Kai, as this level of competition was too obscure and difficult for Zhu Kai to understand.
In interstellar terms, it's like the incomprehensible power struggles between chicken farm owners – the feed they use is incomprehensible.
"It's done. That was easy."
"That's right, this is what you're good at, so go stream it."
"Design some T-shirts for us. If we sell a lot after the LSPL starts, I'll give you a cut of the design fee!"
Upon hearing that there was a commission to be made, Zhu Kai's eyes lit up.
KG can now play scrims with LPL teams. Plus, Lin Kong is overseeing the club every day, and the players are all in the top ten of the Korean server. Zhu Kai never saw this kind of atmosphere in a high-level club, even back when he was with IG.
It's highly likely that KG will enter the LPL, and the revenue sharing from that would be astronomical.
"I guarantee I will complete the task. I will put in 300% effort to design the best T-shirts for KG."
Zhu Kai happily went to the office to start working, designing the merchandise patterns to be sold in the future.
After sending Zhu Kai away, Lin Kong continued to focus on Huihe and EDG's training matches.
Although EDG has entered its operational rhythm and this is considered a low-effort period, it doesn't mean there's no need to observe them.
lqs: "They can't take Baron this time, let's go down there, we can't let Mundo farm so easily."
Left Hand: "Yeah, if we want TheShy to continue split-pushing this game, we need to keep them occupied in the mid lane and not let them have it too easy."
As he spoke, Zuo Shou turned to Lin Kong and continued, "Coach, tell TheShy to continue leading and not to look at us. If they try to force a comeback, I'll definitely buy TheShy enough time so we can figure out a way to steal their base."
Upon hearing this, Lin Kong quickly relayed it to TheShy. TheShy, who had just given up, regained his hope and nodded to Zuo Shou to indicate that he understood.
Xiao Tian also shared his opinion: "When the spider invades the jungle, if you happen to see it in human form, you can try to engage it."
"His ultimate has a time limit. If we can kill the spider instantly, we can threaten to take Baron and create more space for Fiora."
When they were at a disadvantage, everyone in KG was thinking about how to turn the tide and find a solution.
Lin Kong was quite satisfied with this.
As professional players, if they can show this kind of attitude in practice matches, they will only be more persistent in official matches.
"These kids have no intention of giving up yet; their esports spirit is absolutely top-notch."
"Let's continue recording."
"After TheShy died in this wave, there's not much that can be done to salvage the situation. The only option is to continue the 4-1 split push."
"Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong's sense of distance is still too poor. Their skills and tactics are only at a level of about 2 points. But Xiaotian guided them in this aspect, defended in the middle lane, and Zuo Shou did a good job of defending the minion wave on the side lane. It is not easy for EDG to end it so easily."
Over the next few minutes, Lin Kong recorded all of KG's defensive strategies.
The synergy between ZuoShou and XiaoTian in the mid and jungle is getting better and better. They consciously move closer to each other while maintaining distance during the laning phase.
Twenty minutes later, during the mid-game split push, their teamwork began to improve. Previously, the two couldn't even support each other in ranked duos, let alone in matches.
Now we can finally see the shadow and feel of LPL professional mid-jungle duos.
Not only Lin Kong could sense this, but everyone on the EDG team also felt it.
The fat general muttered into the microphone, "This excavator is always watching the side lanes and the middle lane, no matter where it is. I can't intimidate it."
"The collaboration has been done so flawlessly."
The fat general was a little unhappy. To him, this was just an ordinary training match, and it was even against an LSPL team.
He didn't use his full strength, but even if he used seven-tenths of his strength, it would be enough to give most LPL professional mid-jungle players a run for their money, let alone ordinary players.
In such a terrible situation, their top-tier split-pushing ability had already shattered the defenses on the side lanes.
Hearing the fat general say this, Deft also chimed in: "Their bot lane duo is the same. They didn't understand the concept of distance at all in the early game, but suddenly they learned it in the mid-game."
"The support and jungler positions are getting better and better, and their vision control is now linked. We need to be careful when invading the jungle."
"Meiko, don't try to find opportunities for their AD carry. This guy has been holding onto his ultimate ability tightly since just now, he won't give you any chances."
"Be careful, don't let yourself be caught off guard. Their Fiora is very strong individually, and it's hard to say what might happen if they get the chance."
When Deft said that, everyone in EDG was quite surprised. They didn't expect Deft to be so serious.
Abu was also somewhat surprised, "This KG is improving so fast? This is only the second game."
"Do they think their bot lane can even grasp professional-level vision control and distance management?"
Abu doesn't believe in miracles, and he thinks Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong's behavior is more of a result of the jungler's voice guidance and control.
But... "Let me give the guys on the second team a little reminder, this year's LSPL might not be so easy."
"The two weakest teams in the LPL this year are very likely to be eliminated together."
…………
"One wave after another! Is there a chance? Is there a chance?"
"Give me some time, and I can kill him!"
"Fiora is pushing again, don't let them stall, push quickly, Mundo can't stop Fiora."
"Holy crap, I got solo killed. It was that ridiculous combo again, it was too over the top."
"It's okay, we can finish this here, we can finish this."
"Watch out, the cannon has respawned!"
"Don't be afraid of him, he doesn't have any special moves, he doesn't have any special moves."
"Wave after wave!"
"Tear it down, tear it down!"
"Nice, nice!"
"Damn, what a pity! Just one more strike, just one more strike!"
"Wow, I'm really impressed. It was just a tiny bit short. Such incredible luck. I'm speechless."
The microphones of both EDG and KG went crazy, and the match time finally stopped at 41 minutes and 25 seconds.
The best-of-three training match has officially ended, with EDG defeating KG 2-0.
"Wow, what a pity!"
Lin Kong couldn't help but sigh, "In the end, TheShy's Fiora was just one hit away from destroying EDG's base."
After TheShy's death in the mid-game, KG immediately activated their defensive Xuanwu formation, relying on TheShy to try and trade bases. In the end, this did indeed lead to the situation we saw, but unfortunately, they were one step behind.
"Sigh, it's okay, it's okay. We have a practice match against EDG next week, we'll come back then." Lin Kong was also touched by this outcome and comforted the KG team.
I just didn't expect that the game would be released so soon.
EDG sent a message saying, "RNG's scrims aren't over yet, let's play one more!"
