Chapter 10: Very Understanding
Chen Song's words were like a wake-up call.
Among the players in IG, Rookie has the most seniority. He joined IG in December 2014, went through a very long professional career, and finally won the World Championship in 2018.
When he stood on the stage and held up the trophy, only he could truly understand the hardships he had endured along the way.
In contrast, Jackey could empathize with Rookie's feelings.
As a prodigy who only started competing in the LPL in 2018, he completed an amazing transformation from a prodigy to a world champion in that year.
Of course, he would think that winning the world championship is nothing special and not difficult.
Moreover, in S9, they still won the Spring Split championship with absolute dominance.
TheShy and Ning felt similarly to JackeyLove, except that TheShy maintained a positive attitude, while Ning's mindset had changed considerably.
Stories of geniuses dying young are commonplace, while the enduring legacy of geniuses seems more like a legend.
Karam, sitting alone not far away, stared at the translation app on his phone, a cold smile playing on his lips.
In his view, the most important thing for a coach is the results of the game. As for these empty words and motivational rhetoric, it can't be said that they are completely unhelpful to the results, but it can be said that they are basically unhelpful.
If these motivational quotes can help clubs improve their performance, then what's the point of having coaches?
Why not just hire professional speakers to give motivational speeches?
As soon as Chen Song finished speaking, the two sides officially entered the game.
"If they position themselves according to the tactics I mentioned earlier, their lineup will most likely get into the red zone."
Arranging scrimmages is a very important thing, especially arranging scrimmages with strong teams.
First, the coach can be present and, through precise analysis of the opponent in training matches, conduct training matches with the players in advance according to the pre-arranged tactical approach.
Furthermore, during this period, the coach can simultaneously and more effectively issue instructions to the players.
The players gradually analyze and understand their opponents' habits through the coach's precise data.
For example, the factory manager likes to have subordinates supervised at the second level; this is data derived from research.
It's just like writing a novel. When you read a lot of books, a variety of content will naturally come to mind when you put pen to paper.
The same applies to the contestants; the more they hear and see, the more this concept will be ingrained in their minds.
Moreover, habits are hard to break completely in a short period of time.
However, there are very few coaches who can work together to advance the details of the game's progress in real time.
This is not hard to understand. For example, in terms of lineup selection and banning, each version has strong lineups and version trends. Basically, as long as you study it, you won't be too bad at banning, even if you're not an expert.
If a coach doesn't even have this level of competence, then he should really pack his bags and leave.
Even in the worst-case scenario, copying other coaches' approaches won't lead you too far astray.
But real-time training matches are completely different. Unlike post-match reviews, where you see mistakes and analyze areas where you didn't play well, which is hindsight analysis, anyone can do that. It's a classic case of "I could do it too."
The analysis of real-time training matches makes the coach a "sixth" player in addition to the five players. However, the "sixth" player's role is not to perform operations, but to gain a deeper understanding of the game and make accurate judgments about the situation.
Especially the handling of situations when behind in the game and the control of some details in ward placement.
This requires the "sixth man" to have a very deep understanding and skill level in the game.
Several players quickly bought their starting items. Following Chen Song's instructions, Ning went straight to the triangular bush to the lower left of the red buff to place a ward, and then moved towards the blue buff in the upper half of the map.
As for the others, they each took their positions.
FPX uses a double hook combination of Nautilus and Thresh, and with this lineup, they will almost always have to go into the jungle.
As for why Chen Song judged it to be a red entry, the reason is very simple.
The level 1 Aatrox is too strong, and it would be risky to recklessly go into the blue buff. Besides, he had checked some data before, and FPX is a team that really likes to gank the bottom lane, which can be seen from picking strong early-game laning combinations like Lucian and Thresh.
The situation unfolded exactly as Chen Song had predicted. Just as Ning left the lower jungle, at the F6 river entrance, the FPX five-man squad, led by Titan, swaggered into the IG jungle, heading straight for the red buff.
This scene was witnessed by the ward Ning had placed.
Ning glanced at the map and noticed that the captain was in his own red zone, so he decisively headed towards the opposite red zone.
TheShy was positioned in the top lane's tri-bush, ready to help Ning secure the red buff at any moment.
As Titan and the captain left, Chen Song's voice came through the earpiece.
"Give them the red buff, Ning goes back to the red buff, Sivir pushes the lane slowly, Tahm Kench stays in the tri-bush and retreats when the enemy comes, as for Rookie, just push the lane normally and fast."
Chen Song didn't give TheShy any instructions. Since the Prince chose to counter-jungle the red buff, whether he continued to counter-jungle or went back to farm the blue buff area, it would take a lot of time. During this time, TheShy would have a much easier time at level one.
The reason for keeping Tahm Kench in position is to prevent the Prince from ganking the bottom lane at level two.
For a champion like Sivir who lacks mobility, getting forced to use Flash early in the game can make the laning phase very difficult.
For professional players, it's not just about having one less summoner spell; even the difference in attack range between the two AD carries can create a gap in the laning phase.
After stealing the red buff, FPX's bot lane duo headed towards the bottom lane tri-bush. With Chen Song's instructions, Baolan licked Thresh, left a ward, and walked out of the bush to block the turret entrance.
Upon seeing the opponent's movements, JackeyLove simultaneously retreated to his own ranged units.
They did not continue to plunder soldiers and were ready to retreat at any time.
Chen Song came up behind JackeyLove.
"Let the enemy push the minion wave first, there's no rush."
To Chen Song's surprise, despite his earlier suggestion to have Sivir push the lane slowly, JackeytLove hadn't even learned any skills by level one.
This will make the lane situation much more flexible.
In a normal laning phase, Sivir with a level 1 W skill can quickly push the lane.
In situations where you know the prince is attacking your own red buff, using W to push the lane won't work.
After Chen Song finished speaking, JackeyLove took two steps back.
In the mid lane, with both champions using E, Nautilus is no match for Ryze in pushing the lane. Rookie quickly used E to push the lane and then moved towards the tower, giving the opponent the illusion that he had disappeared.

"Miss! Miss!"
Doinb anxiously relayed the signals.
His E skill has a long cooldown, and he's currently pushing against the minion wave, trying to clear it with his hammer.
"We can't push into the bottom lane either."
Warhorse frowned as he stared at Lin Weixiang's computer screen.
Against Sivir, Lucian and Thresh are unable to capitalize on their laning advantage.
It seemed like they had the initiative, but as soon as the minion wave was pushed forward, Sivir activated QW, and the minion wave was basically cleared.
They avoided direct confrontation and didn't choose to engage in a direct confrontation at all.
In this situation, as long as IG's bot lane maintains its pace and develops slowly, FPX's bot lane won't have much of a chance.

"Sivir is really effective against FPX's bot lane." Mafa, standing behind Baolan and observing the laning situation, said in Korean, "Chen Song, your Sivir pick... is very insightful."
