Chapter 86: DRX's Pre-Match Motivation Meeting!
Kingen plays Aatrox very well, that's a fact everyone agrees on.
His Aatrox repeatedly gained a significant advantage in the laning phase, and in the mid-game, he was very effective in team fights, cutting into the backline and putting a lot of pressure on the enemy's carry.
Riot Games previously released data on the win rate and kill count of Aatrox users.
Kingen is ranked first.
Zeus is ranked second.
Lin Jin only used the Sword Demon once, but that doesn't mean Lin Jin's Sword Demon isn't powerful.
On the contrary, everyone thinks that Lin Jin is very versatile, not only playing Aatrox, but also playing other heroes very well.
For example, there's the Sword Demon problem that's causing everyone a headache.
Lin Jin can perfectly counter it using the Weapon Master technique.
Lin Jin is the best at using Jax to counter Aatrox; no other top laner in the World Championship has achieved the same effect.
Therefore, the DRX coaching staff found it somewhat tricky.
After thinking for a moment, Kingen said:
"I think Jax is really okay. I watched Top Esports play against T1 last time. Fire's Jax was able to counter Zeus's Aatrox, but that's because he's not good at playing Zeus."
Everyone just laughed it off; if such words were to be exposed, it would cause a riot.
"The Jax didn't really counter Aatrox much. In this version, Aatrox is the most powerful top lane champion."
"If they dare to let me have it, I'll definitely take it!"
The coach gave him a thumbs up.
"Great! This is exactly the kind of spirit we need."
"I was worried that you would lose confidence when facing fire, but it seems that there is no problem now."
Kingen's eyes gleamed: "I used to play in the LPL. The higher an LPL player is praised, the harder they fall."
"This fire is a typical example; he can't be this lucky forever."
"In the finals, I will crush him in the laning phase."
"Of course, the jungler needs to provide me with some support."
"I saw it during the group stage too. If you don't restrict his development, Fire is indeed very strong."
"But as long as you restrict his development and forcibly interfere with him, he will have no chance to carry the game."
Trust me.
After Kingen finished speaking, he could hear his teammates applauding.
He was very confident, but also arrogant.
After Kingen finished speaking, the coach also asked Zeka a question.
Zeka was also a crucial part of DRX's rise and their ability to reach the finals.
He faced off against the top mid laners and fought his way through them.
Many netizens jokingly refer to his journey as the "path to godhood".
He defeated one world-class mid laner after another, and finally faced Knight from the LPL.
Zeka said he wasn't under much pressure; he even felt a bit relaxed.
The coach said, "Knight is also a very experienced player."
"Zeka, didn't you say you played against him back when you were with BLG?"
"What changes do you see in him compared to when we met in the group stage this year?"
Zeka thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, you've become more... timid, haven't you?"
His teammates all burst out laughing.
This review is hilarious!
Daiford then smiled and said:
"Do you think you can easily defeat Knight?"
Zeka nodded: "Yes, I can."
The coach said, "OK, I believe in you too."
"Zeka's performance has been consistently stable and is on the rise."
"The mid lane is yours for the finals."
"As for the bot lane, I have complete confidence in you guys."
Dai Ford spoke first:
"I don't feel much pressure facing Jack LaWu. I've fought him many times."
"His Lucian has been playing very well this year. If you feel pressured, I can choose to ban him."
Jack Spicy Dancer did indeed use a lot of Lucian and carried several games.
DeFord thought for a moment and said, "That works too."
Genshin Impact continued, "But Jack Spicy Dancer also has a Draven trick up his sleeve, which he hasn't used in the knockout stage yet."
DeFord: "If I pick this kind of champion, I can just let him crush me in lane. His Draven will collapse as soon as he dies once."
The coach smiled and said, "It sounds like you're very confident in beating Jack Hot Dance."
"They're not the same Top Esports team they were in the group stage."
"We're not the DRX we were in the group stage anymore," DeFord said.
These words boosted morale, and everyone applauded.
Genshin Impact's commentator added, "First of all, let me clarify that in the finals, my skills might not have been as good as the opponent's."
"Therefore, I hope the coaching staff will select some heroes that can effectively control the pace of the game for me."
The coach said, "Heimerdinger, Bard, I can keep them for you."
"I just hope you can set the pace, especially in the early game."
Genshin Impact nodded: "I'll play more aggressively in the early game, so don't worry."
"Jack is a player who feeds the enemy team, whether in the early or mid-game."
"Ha ha……"
They all exchanged smiles.
The coach's gaze then finally fell on the two junglers.
P-class general, juhan.
Neither of them could be considered by the coaching staff to be a starting jungler in the World Championship finals.
Juhan played well in the qualifying rounds, but he started to fall behind in the group stage.
Then they brought in P, a young player, who at least played well, but the coaching staff was still not satisfied.
Because P is a very easy target for others to exploit, this started very early on.
The coaching staff is very worried that this will set the stage for the final.
So I talked to the two junglers for a long time.
"We must defend our jungle well."
"Top Esports' jungler is very aggressive, and his ganking strategy is also very good. We must learn from him."
"When necessary, have the support and mid laner go into the jungle with you. I will continue to emphasize this."
P nodded, his heart filled with trepidation and frustration, as none of his teammates spoke up for him.
Even though he had tried his best, he still felt that the other contestant was being excluded.
But they've already made it to the finals, and with two junglers on the team, one of whom is even worse than him, P isn't worried about losing his starting position.
He also expressed his determination:
"Coach, don't worry, I'll manage things well in the finals."
"I know my weaknesses, and I won't try to force a jungle exchange with the enemy jungler. I have my own rhythm."
The coach nodded: "Yes, it's best to remember that."
His gaze swept over everyone:
"In short, for the finals against Top Esports, I hope you forget everything from the group stage."
"Times have changed. We are growing, and we are growing faster than the other side."
"Forget about Top Esports' 3-0 victory over T1. Don't be afraid. If it were us, we could also shut out T1!"
"We, DRX, the fourth seed, as the biggest dark horse in history, will surely create the greatest miracle in the history of League of Legends!"
"And the biggest obstacle to this miracle, our LCK teams, has already been eliminated by Top Esports."
"Next, let's win the championship!"
"The championship definitely belongs to DRX!"
