Chapter 33: I don't think Karam is fit to be a coach
Meanwhile, in the IG players' rest area.
In contrast to the relaxed atmosphere in the LNG players' lounge, the atmosphere in the IG players' lounge was somewhat suffocating.
Karam stood among the contestants, continuously speaking in Korean.
Just when they were about to turn the tide, a single mistake led to their defeat. How could Karam not be angry?
Not only did he get solo killed in lane, he also kept getting ganked and killed.
What are you trying to prove by positioning yourself so far forward as an AD carry? Does your Sivir have a dash ability or can she fly?
They played terribly, but they're standing here acting like I didn't do a good job with the draft.
You usually know to stay in the top lane and help TheShy, but this time the enemy mid and jungle picked Sejuani and Irelia, and you started helping the mid lane instead.
What are you prince and Neeko going to use for a 2v2?
After grumbling for a bit, Karam didn't continue. He told Mafa to work on the players' mindset, emphasizing that the most important thing right now wasn't reviewing the game to find problems, but rather how to play steadily and secure the next victory.
Su Xiaoluo, as the person involved, sat to the side, observing carefully, seemingly lost in thought.
After the break, both players returned to their seats on the stage.
"Let's move on to the second game of the BO3. LNG is on the blue side, and IG is on the red side."
"I absolutely cannot let this sword demon go."
As soon as Kris finished speaking, the screen switched to the two pick/ban screens, and Flandre on the first floor picked Aatrox again.
WTF?
Karam, are you serious?!
Cool!
Chen Song felt his mind go blank.
"What did you just say?"
"I didn't say anything just now."
The two commentators were equally incredulous.
"IG must have planned out how to counter this Aatrox in this game."
Kris was a little embarrassed and tried to explain for IG.
After the two discussed it, the lineups for both sides were finalized.
Blue side LNG: Top lane Akali, Jungle Rek'Sai, Mid lane Aatrox, Bot lane Kai'Sa + Alistar.
Red team IG: Top lane Neeko, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Nautilus, Bot lane Lucian + Yuumi.
LNG successfully ganked Aatrox to the mid lane, switching Akali to face Neeko in the top lane.
"I have to admit, they're really something!"
Looking at IG's lineup, Chen Song couldn't help but rub his forehead, but then smiled slightly.
He suddenly made a major decision: to become the coach of IG himself.
Before joining IG, his idea was to first establish himself and take things one step at a time to do a good job as a tactical analyst.
But as time went on, he changed his mind.
If Karam can lead IG to victory in S9 and win the championship, it would be more reasonable for him to switch jobs to become a coach while still holding the title of championship tactical analyst.
The current situation is that Karam, this incompetent coach, has accomplished absolutely nothing for IG.
The tactical analysis materials I handed him clearly stated that Aatrox was a must-ban or must-pick hero.
But you, Karam, completely disregarded all the hard work I put in and played Aatrox in both games.
Even the commentators know what kind of hero Aatrox is in the current version, but you, the head coach, don't understand this.
Since you want to play this game, why should I give you any face?
I'm a Grand Slam coach, what are you, Karam?
With this BP (Browser Design), are you sure their intelligence didn't all go into their height?
Officially enter the game.
4 minutes: Ning's Lee Sin ganks mid, killing Aatrox, giving IG's mid and jungle a slight advantage.
5 minutes: Excavator and Alistar gank bot lane, double kill IG bot lane, bot lane collapses immediately.
10 minutes: LNG secures the Rift Herald, IG engages in a team fight but is caught out, their top and jungle are killed, and they are 3,000 gold behind.
17 minutes: LNG's four-man gank resulted in the deaths of Nautilus and Neeko, leading to a complete collapse of their mid and jungle.
19 minutes: Team fight in the jungle. Neeko's ultimate was not very effective. LNG split the formation and defeated them one by one.
22 minutes: Alistar initiates a team fight with Flash without vision, IG collapses, loses Baron, and the game ends.
The game ended, and the LNG fans in the arena erupted in cheers, while the IG fans looked dejected.
It's normal for matches to have wins and losses, but the problem is that IG lost to LNG, a team whose strength is far inferior to theirs!
When IG narrowly defeated DMO in the last match, online discussions had already begun to ferment.
After LNG defeated us 2-0 today, the internet exploded.
Hot searches on Weibo:
#IG lost to LNG 2:0# (Boiling)
#KaramBP# (Hot)
#What exactly is IG pretending to be?# (New)
#Isn't Aatrox a must-ban or must-pick?# (rising)
Hot post title:
Did IG draft with their eyes closed? Letting Karam pick Aatrox twice in a row, are you LNG's sixth man?
[Ning helped his mid laner build a Titan, and the bot lane got completely destroyed. Is this the rhythm of a champion jungler?]
[I think this tactical analyst named Chen Song is an undercover agent sent by LNG.]
......
Chen Song saw the rapidly spreading public opinion and trending topics on the internet immediately.
Fortunately, he had seen all sorts of storms and had long since activated his automatic filtering against these online trolls.
......
The next day, the plane slowly landed at the airport, and the IG team returned to the club's base looking exhausted.
The athletes finished packing and returned to the training room.
Welcome back.
Chen Song saw Ning pulling out a chair on his right and greeted him.
"Why."
Ning nodded, plopped down in the chair, and showed no intention of turning on the computer.
Even TheShy, who usually has a shy smile on his face, seemed gloomy at this moment, according to Chen Song.
"There's one thing I'm curious about: who exactly said yesterday that Aatrox shouldn't be banned?"
Chen Song stared at Ning with curiosity; this was something he cared about very much.
Ning shook his head, looking frustrated: "Who else? It's our 193 coach. I just don't understand. We keep telling him to ban Aatrox, ban Aatrox, and he acts like he doesn't hear us. He doesn't know anything about the drafting stuff."
"call!!!"
Chen Song nodded unconsciously.
Sure enough!
Chen Song patted Ning on the shoulder, got up and left the training room.
"Knock knock knock..."
The door was marked with the words "Manager's Office".
Chen Song reached out and knocked on Su Xiaoluo's door.
"Please come in."
"It's Chen Song."
Su Xiaoluo got up and walked to the sofa, gesturing to Chen Song, "Sit down first. Isn't it training time now? What brings you here?"
Instead of directly stating his thoughts, Chen Song asked first, "Manager Su, what are your thoughts on yesterday's match?"
Su Xiaoluo was taken aback at first, then reached out to pour water for Chen Song and said, "Yesterday's first game was indeed a pity. If it weren't for Ah Shui's mistake in the last wave, it was really possible to turn the tide. As for the second game, it was indeed played quite badly."
Upon hearing this, Chen Song replied, "That's one part; there's another part."
"Is there another part?"
Su Xiaoluo became interested and asked, "What else?"
Chen Song thought for a moment: "In the pre-match draft analysis, I clearly marked Aatrox as a must-ban or must-pick in the materials I gave Karam, and I also emphasized how to gain an advantage in the draft."
"you mean......"
As the manager of IG, Su Xiaoluo immediately understood the meaning behind Chen Song's words.
"I don't think Karam is fit to be IG's coach at all. He's just dragging IG down."
