Chapter 38: Mafa's Guess
Chen Song turned his head and looked at Bao Lan's computer screen.
After observing Baolan for a while, he discovered the most crucial problem.
Support is slow, or rather, extremely slow.
His teammates had already started playing, but he was still strolling around.
They roam aimlessly and lose their way when they shouldn't, and don't roam when they should, showing no order whatsoever.
Seeing that there was little chance of winning the team fight, they ran away faster than anyone else.
Then there's the issue of field of vision.
They don't place wards in key locations and aren't proactive in clearing wards. If you look closely at the map in the bottom right corner, it's almost completely black.
He stepped on all the landmines of the support role, no wonder he was removed from the bench.
Chen Song walked to the side, pulled up his chair and sat down to Bao Lan's right, saying, "Bao Lan, I'll sit next to you and watch for a while. You don't need to worry about me, just focus on your own game."
Baolan nodded: "Okay, Coach."
Chen Song casually remarked, "The enemy bot laner and your AD carry both went back to base, why didn't you go back with them?"
"I'm doing pretty well."
Baolan responded.
"But you already have no eyes left. Shouldn't you go back and replenish them?"
Chen Song expressed his opinion.
"The enemy bot lane is recalling, and in my opinion, now is the perfect time to go to the enemy jungle to establish vision. Besides, the minion wave in the bot lane is still in your favor, and you're just stuck there."
"At this point, you shouldn't waste time online spacing out. Instead, use the time while the opponent is going home to expand your field of vision. Since you've already run out of wards, going home is your only option."
What do you think?
Bao Lan nodded upon hearing this.
It had been a long time since anyone had told him this.
Ever since he won the S8 championship, everyone subconsciously thought that he had to play well and could not make any mistakes.
At first, he didn't think much of it, after all, he had won the championship, so it was inevitable that everyone would have higher expectations.
But as time went on, he realized that something was off about this group of people.
Not only did they attack him in various ways, but they also attacked his teammates, club, and family.
This reality was hard for him to accept for a while.
I thought cyberbullying was something that would never happen to him, but when it actually happened, it instantly shattered his mental defenses.
Afraid to take the lead, afraid to be blamed, and prone to operational errors, these problems emerged one after another.
Do you know why I took your phones away?
Chen Song explained to Bao Lan in a gentle tone:
"Based on my observations of you over the past few days, your mind is not on this game at all, but on your phone."
"To put it bluntly, on Weibo on your phone."
"You spend almost all your time on your phone, except during the laning phase."
The Azure God of War nodded: "I..."
He was completely unaware of this problem.
This isn't just a mistake that Baolan would make.
In this respect, almost everyone is like Baolan, their minds completely focused on online public opinion.
He simply made a mistake that any normal person would make.
This is actually closely related to the trajectory of the IG team in S8.
Despite being underestimated by everyone, they fought their way through the competition to reach the S8 World Championship and win the title.
On one hand, RNG, as the number one seed, attracted the attention of all LPL viewers after their shocking 2-3 loss to G2 in the quarterfinals.
另一方面是IG3:2惊险取胜LCK一号种子KT后，又3:0横扫了G2为RNG报仇，最终双杀了FNC成功捧杯。
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall, and RNG is a perfect example.
On the contrary, IG, which has never been favored, has been almost unaffected by public opinion.
However, after winning the S8 championship, IG will eventually follow the same path as RNG.
"Now that we've identified the problem, let's work on it. It's not a big deal, and you don't need to blame yourself too much."
Chen Song comforted him, "Trust me, just do as I say. I don't expect immediate results, but over time you'll see a significant change."
"call!"
"Thank you, coach."
Bao Lan pursed her lips and nodded.
For a moment, he felt an urge to cry.
He has always been a very thoughtful person who pays close attention to his own feelings.
This causes him to overthink things during matches, subconsciously fearing mistakes and taking the blame.
Mafa was not far from the other players.
He had actually heard everything Chen Song did and said.
Especially in terms of the content expressed, Mafa asked himself if these things had any real value.
But the effect was surprisingly good.
Take the task of assigning tasks to TheShy and Ning.
In simpler terms, it means that TheShy should be able to dominate the top lane, but shouldn't get carried away.
Ning should provide more feedback to his teammates.
But this simple meaning, when expressed by Chen Song, had a completely different effect.
Is this the charm of the Chinese language that he often sees online?
And the deep part of the erect penis?
In particular, he found that everyone was very willing to communicate with him when it came to communicating with the players.
Or rather, they listen to him very well.
Mafa admitted that he had met many coaches, but the only one who impressed him the most was SKT's three-time world champion coach kkOma.
He even suspected that even kkOma in SKT couldn't do what Chen Song did.
But Chen Song was just a tactical analyst who was fired by LNG and had never been a coach.
Even now, he's just temporarily filling in for Karam as the acting coach.
During the previous interview, he felt that Chen Song's performance was impressive.
Tactical data collection is static, while coaching players is dynamic, and the two are difficult to connect.
From positioning himself between TheShy and Ning, to bringing Baolan back, to the duo queue strategy, and finally having JackeyLove temporarily take on the role of main commander.
He absolutely refused to believe that this was an idea Chen Song had decided on the spur of the moment.
Mafa's eyes widened suddenly.
Could it be that Chen Song had already figured out how to adjust Instagram before he came to Instagram?
Mafa felt a chill run down his spine; the thought was terrifying.
So, when he applied for the tactical analyst position, did he know he could temporarily take over the coach's position?
Mafa shook her head, not daring to think about it any further.
If things are really as he thinks, then Karam probably wasn't just temporarily replaced.
Rather... rather, there is a high probability...
Mafa exited the translation software and placed her phone on the computer desk.
He opened a webpage and searched for Chen Song's name.
The webpage shows that in addition to his current role as a tactical analyst for IG, he also holds a position as a tactical analyst for LNG.
Mafa chuckled self-deprecatingly, realizing that he had been making some assumptions.
Let's not even mention that Chen Song only worked as a tactical analyst at LNG.
Su Xiaoluo told him that Chen Song was fired because he talked back to Zhu Kai.
Based on Chen Song's earlier confrontation with Karam, he had reason to believe that Chen Song would indeed take such a direct confrontation with Karam.
Could it be that Chen Song is some kind of future champion coach from a novel, reborn from the past?
