LOL: Reborn in S9, Coaching the Trident

Chapter 53: Concerns about facing TES

"You're right, then it's your turn to jungle."

Ning got up and left the training room.

The other contestants were caught off guard by this scene, and for a moment they looked at each other, clueless.

Chen Song did not stop reviewing the game after Ning's departure, but instead communicated with each player one-on-one.

"It was really wrong of TheShy to get caught and killed with Kennen. You forgot the information I kept telling you in the first game. You could have continued to expand your advantage at 8 minutes. Moreover, we had just regained a slight advantage in the mid lane. You should have taken advantage of the time when the enemy jungler died to give vision to the enemy jungle."

"You see, in the third game, after Forge provided vision and detected Jiejie's jungle movements, you were having a very comfortable time in the top lane, weren't you? That's the importance of vision."

"But compared to before, you have indeed made great progress, and I have seen that. Especially your performance with Ryze in the third game, you successfully turned your lane advantage into a victory for your teammates."

Chen Song also spared no praise for TheShy's online performance and for Forge's vision.

He often said that world champions are just kids.

Not to mention these kids, even those old folks are the same; they like to hear compliments and be praised.

However, controlling this degree of relaxation is particularly important.

It was called a debriefing, but it was more like Chen Song leading the players in summarizing the training and competition of the past few days.

The debriefing was completed in less than an hour.

Apart from Ning, who left in a huff, the debriefing sessions with the other players went very smoothly.

Ning did not appear in the training room again that night after leaving.

Chen Song had no intention of looking for him.

The reason is simple: as a professional player, if he can't even maintain the most basic professional attitude, then leaving is his best option.

......

Some are happy, some are sad.

News of Chen Song temporarily coaching IG and defeating EDG spread quickly.

Zhu Kai was the first target of the explosion.

He was tormented by netizens' comments and ridicule all night.

[Order your takeout; Chen Song doesn't think much of your LNG.]

If you were even half as good as Chen Song, you wouldn't be in this mess.

Zhu Kai was very frustrated. He had just led LNG to victory over IG. Wasn't it EDG that lost the game? What did it have to do with him?

......

The next day, Chen Song arrived at the training room before eight o'clock, just like usual.

To his surprise, TheShy was already sitting in his seat.

And he wasn't playing ARAM, but practicing hero skills in a custom game.

IG's schedule is to wake up at 12 o'clock and go to the computer at 1 pm.

So most people get up around noon.

Chen Song's time on Instagram is neither long nor short.

Over all these days, only one person slept later and woke up earlier than him every day.

That's Rookie.

Rookie is a typical player who arrives early, leaves late, and often stays up all night.

"Shy, you're up so early today, did you have insomnia?"

Chen Song pulled out a chair and stared at TheShy's computer screen.

TheShy was practicing Sion. He stared intently at the screen, his body swaying along with Sion's charge-up Q as he raised his axe. His head fell with Sion's charge-up Q, completely immersed in the rhythm.

The moment he knocked the soldier away, he nodded sharply, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

"Coach... Coach! What brings you here so early?"

TheShy suddenly turned his head and said, "It's not training time yet."

Chen Song nodded: "I arrive at this time every day."

"As for you, this is the first time I've seen you this early. The only one who's been here before me is Rookie."

"I...I have insomnia," TheShy stammered.

"Insomnia causing you to practice hero mode here?" Chen Song looked at him. "Shouldn't you be playing ARAM?"

"Yi... Yi Jin isn't here, so I thought I'd try to do my part too."

"Then you shouldn't be practicing Sion here; Sion can't carry the game."

"I used to think that way too, but I don't think so now."

Why?

"Because you, Coach, told me to choose, I trust you."

Chen Song was taken aback.

"You've already done an exceptional job in hero control."

"In my opinion, the most important thing you need to pay attention to right now is not to rush the online suppression."

Chen Song sighed: "Also, I'm just a temporary coach, and I won't be playing in the next match."

After saying that, he turned on his computer and skillfully opened the documents on the desktop.

Tes player profiles and match replays.

That's right, a tactical analyst.

This is Chen Song's job.

Top order 369...

As Chen Song read the name aloud, he also read the reader's personal information at the back.

Did TheShy beat you so badly that you had to see a psychologist?

So this is the person they were talking about.

Mid laner Knight...

Appearances in the Spring Split: 46 games

KDA: 3.8/1.5/5.2

MVP: 13 times (second in the league)

Matchup against Rookie: He was pressured, but could trade blows and had solo kills.

Against Doinb: Overall, he held his own and often had the advantage in the laning phase.

Jungler: Xx

ADC: LoKen

Support: QiuQiu

After carefully reviewing the information of the five players, he determined through analysis that the most crucial position for Tes is mid-laner Knight.

"Aggressive in the top lane, stable in the bottom lane, and explosive in the mid and jungle"—that's Chen Song's assessment of these players.

It's fair to say that this team's desire to win the game relies excessively on the performance of their mid-laner, Knight.

Unfortunately, Rookie was absent from this crucial match, which was a fatal blow to IG.

Chen Song turned to look at TheShy and asked, "Did you come here early to train because you know you're playing against Tes in the next match?"

"Are you worried that Forge can't beat Knight?"

TheShy didn't respond directly, but his expression said it all.

"So you want to crush 369 with your own lane and lead the team to victory."

TheShy nodded: "369 has grown a lot now, and I must unleash my full potential."

"But you should know that the biggest problem right now isn't Forge. Of course, Forge is indeed a weak point against Tes."

Chen Song's eyes sharpened: "Rookie isn't here, Ning is in this state, and Tes is relying on their mid and jungle to drive the game. Fortunately, Karam is building around you again. As long as Forge holds his own in lane and you open up the game in the top lane, we still have a chance to beat them."

Chen Song paused for a moment: "I just don't know if Karam will let Baolan play again in the next game. Baolan is also a very crucial player; we should try to give the bottom lane a lane advantage."

"I always feel uneasy when you're not here, Coach."

TheShy sighed.

He was well aware of the changes Chen Song had brought to the team.

It was just starting to look up, and then it all ended.

As a player, he has no control over when the coach plays.

After a brief chat with TheShy, Chen Song focused his energy back on collecting tactical data.

In addition to that, he has a very important job: watching the matches of other LPL teams.

There happen to be two important matches today.

FPX VS WE

SN VS JDG
