-353- There may be some room for manipulation
In this way, after making the decision, at the end of July, T1's young player clozer quickly got the chance to play in the game against KT.
The impact of this incident is naturally great. After all, it has been a long time since Faker has been on the water dispenser. Being able to press the Faker on the water dispenser has naturally caused a large number of T1 fans to protest.
But after T1 took KT away 2 to zero, these protests disappeared immediately.
"Clozer played well, it felt no worse than Faker, or even better."
"Indeed, Faker is old, and it's good to retire and give young people a place. Clozer is so young, and obviously has greater potential."
"To be honest, I have seen the shadows of winter dates and knight in clozer. If you want to fight against DME and TES, only such talented newcomers can be. Old players like Faker, there is no chance to win winter dates and knight."
"Kim Jong-soo's vision is really good."
After winning easily with 2-0, LCK netizens were talking about it on the forum, and they generally believed that in this match against KT, the performance of the young player clozer was worthy of recognition, and he had reached the level of being better than the top in the middle of T1.
Looking at these netizens' comments, Kim Jong-soo was in a very good mood. Although he is the champion coach of S8, it is also under great pressure to coach a team like T1. He is also worried that if clozer performs poorly, it will arouse the anger of a large number of T1 fans.
But now it seems that the effect is very good. Clozer played very well, which not only caused a carnival among many faker black fans, but even the rational fans of faker were shaken in their hearts, giving the feeling of "Is it true that Faker is really too old and not as good as the junior newcomer."
Of course, just a clozer's outstanding performance is far from enough, and it is easy to be said to be a flash in the pan.
So he still needs more opportunities to play in clozer to prove how excellent his vision is, even if he sacrifices Faker to be a stepping stone for clozer.
...
"So Brother Li can only pour water for clozer now?"
"I don't know, but after clozer was replaced, T1 won a row of winning streaks and probably won't have a chance to play."
"I'm so angry, if you don't have a faker, who will see you T1..."
After changing into clozer, T1 started his summer season winning streak.
First, KT was broken by 2-0, and then defeated SB, SP, DYN and the African team 2-0, which was so fierce that it caused Faker fans all over the world to be a little depressed at this moment. There was no good reason to criticize Kim Jong-soo for a while - they pressed Brother Li on the bench, but it really changed the team's performance and did what a coach should do. How do you criticize him?!
Fortunately, there are still three "big tests" in the next schedule, namely the match against DWG, DRX and GEN.
These three teams happen to be the top three in LCK, with the three best mid laners in the whole LCK. As long as there is any game in it, clozer performs poorly and is broken by showmaker, chovy or BDD, Faker fans still have the chance to attack Kim Jong-soo on Twitter.
Besides, if you want to enter the World Championship, you have to compete with these three opponents for tickets.
What's the use of your clozer playing a bunch of weak teams with low rankings that are winning streaks all the way?
Can it really be considered a proof of yourself if you don’t beat the top three mid laners?
"You must perform well tomorrow's game against DWG." The night before the game against DWG, Kim Jong-soo said to clozer in the base with a serious speech.
This game is very important, not only because DWG is too strong, but more importantly, Kim Jong-soo is now at the forefront of public opinion.
Many people don’t speak on the surface, but are actually waiting for an opportunity. As long as the clozer is not played well, those overwhelming public opinion will instantly swallow Kim Jong-soo himself.
So he must win DWG, and even if he loses, he must let clozer perform "even if he loses."
"No problem!" In the base, clozer nodded with a smile, with a full of confidence.
If it was a clozer a month ago, he would have been nervous now. But in the past month, clozer has led T1 to kill five LCK teams, with each handful of 2 to zero, which has built up a lot of confidence for him at once, and by the way, he also has the illusion that "these mid-lane seniors are just like this."
Besides, even coach Kim Jong-soo said that he is stronger than Faker, so if Faker cannot defeat the showmaker, he might be able to do it!
The next afternoon.
In the midst of the attention, the match between T1 and DWG officially began.
Although Kim Jong-soo gave a lot of advice before the game and even had the idea of praying to God and Buddha for a while, the game still did not change the ending of 2-0 - DWG swept T1, just like T1 was playing against those last-rate teams before, simple and easy.
I can only say that showmaker is really a miscellaneous subject. When he saw clozer, he took the MVP angrily.
So, after the game, the fans of Faker who had been holding on for a long time could finally accuse Kim Jong-soo on Twitter. It is generally believed that Kim Jong-soo was blind. The problem was obviously the jungler's cuzz. It would be fine if he didn't change the jungler, but he also replaced the middle-lane faker. In the end, when he faced showmaker, the performance of this clozer didn't show any outstanding performance - I really think the previous five consecutive wins were very valuable?
The Sunset Red Team, which is the last winner in the league, will be revealed when they meet a strong team like DWG!
Kim Jong-soo was also very annoyed. The two problems that lost to DWG were indeed cuzz, but it cannot be said that clozer played poorly. At most, he didn't lead his teammates to fly.
The online subjects slandered him without reason because they liked Faker. Some even said that he deliberately excluded Faker for his personal influence. They were simply out of nothing and deliberately disgusting people, which almost made him angry.
So, is there any way to both disgusting the subjects and prove that your vision is fine?
Thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly emerged in Kim Jong-soo's mind.
The next game of DRX is definitely not as difficult as DWG for T1, and there is even a great chance of winning.
There may be some operating space here.
...
Mid-August.
Amid the criticism of countless faker fans, T1 ushered in a battle with DRX.
This battle is also very critical, because T1 just lost to DWG. In addition to the critically ill patient Cuzz, young player clozer and coach Kim Jong-soo were scolded a lot. If you want to reverse public opinion, you must defeat DRX and make up for your mistakes.
Not long after, after a period of operational war, T1 and DRX's bo3 were successfully won by T1.
Among them, Akali, a young player, performed well and won the MVP, which finally reduced the online scolding of Kim Jong-soo - of course, only a little.
However, looking at the clozer who had taken MVP and in the lounge, Kim Jong-soo suddenly called Faker and said expressionlessly: "Faker, prepare for it, and you will be in the next game."
Hearing this, Faker, who was bored looking at his phone next to the water dispenser, was stunned for a moment, and raised his head blankly. Bang, who was pressed on the bench not far away, was even more surprised and said: "Coach Jin, what do you mean? clozer has taken MVP, why did you replace him?"
In bo3, a player just won the MVP and was in a hot position, but was suddenly replaced as a substitute. Even for an experienced veteran player like Faker and Bang, it was the first time.
"It's nothing. We have a great chance of winning against DRX. Faker's fans are looking forward to him coming back, so we can naturally satisfy them appropriately." Kim Jingsoo said lightly, "You know that the official push these two days has been scolded very badly. Even if we consider the team operation perspective, it's good to satisfy the fans' expectations."
"What are you kidding..." Bang was speechless. What does this kind of team operation need to be paid attention to and you, the coach? Shouldn't the coach do it to win every victory steadily?
Clozer has won the MVP, and you replace him. This is not a good thing for clozer or faker, right?
"Okay, then I'll go." Seeing Bang's attitude of quarreling with Coach Jin, Faker finally spoke up, patted Bang's shoulder, soothing his anxious mood.
He actually doesn't want to go there. He was just running-in with his teammates. Recently, Kim Jong-soo hasn't allowed him to participate in several training matches at all, so the running-in level is even worse, and it's not the best state at all.
But there is no way, he is a faker, he has his own pride.
Chapter completed!
