——KDF下路被压到高地塔的故事
说12分钟都是包装了,说真的10分钟就被推到高地塔了,下塔6分钟就爆了,那就要打上中野呀。所以我就很平稳地说“打上中野呀”,结果下路一直被暴打,一塔就被推了,又被单杀,然后塔又被推了。
The story of KDF’s bot lane being pushed to bot inhibitor turret
Our bot turret went down 6 minutes in, and by 10 minutes, T1’s botlane had already pushed to our inhibitor turret. So I said “let’s rely on our topside to carry us instead”. In the end, however, bot lane kept getting destroyed: our turret went down, then we got solo killed, then the inner turret would get pushed in.
我记得一般我们回城的时候他们都在点2塔。所以就想着“守不了了”,二塔也被推,回城之后再回来,他们已经在点高地了。
I recall how when we would base, they were already at our inner turret. It felt really oppressive to me; the inner turret would be getting pushed in, and when we based and returned, they were already at our inhibitor tower.
我心里想着啥时候点呀,太难打了。所以就跟cvMax哥说了,人一直被暴打是不会想继续练下去的。T1打得太好了,我心里想着“真的不想玩啦,他们打得真的好呀,怎么玩的这么好,就算换英雄玩我们还是输”。
In my heart, I was wondering when can we surrender (t/n: correct me if this translation is wrong), it was too hard to fight. So I told cvMax that getting destroyed in lane like that would make anyone lose the motivation to keep playing. I felt that T1 were playing too well, I really didn’t want to continue playing, how could they play so well, even if we used different champions we would still lose.
——四分之一决赛结束后
四分之一决赛结束后cvMax哥就跟我们说哪天哪天要跟T1打训练赛,几乎是每一天。从这个时候开始,有那么一点点能打了,并没赢,就是感觉上有得打了。有得打但是赢不了,就是这种感觉。其实记不太清楚了,只记得这周的事情了。我觉得是对线能打,但是一到运营……找个借口就是经验不足输了。
After the quarterfinals
After the quarters, cvMax told us which days we would be scrimming with T1, and it was basically every day. From this point onward, we could actually play against them, even though we still did not manage to win. It felt like the games were more even, just that we couldn’t close out the game. To be honest, I can’t really remember what happened that week, I only remember this week clearly (finals week). I just remember feeling like the laning phase was winnable, but when it came to objective fights… let’s just say we had too little experience.
我说的就是大概的感觉,因为一般来说我们的战绩就是1胜5负或者0胜6负。然后偶尔会多赢一局?第一周我被暴打太多了,所以我就觉得很抱歉也很生气,想着“我究竟能给予他们帮助吗?”。肯定会产生那样的想法呀。
This feeling of “this game is winnable, yet we still lost” persisted through our games. We would either go 1-5 or 0-6, and occasionally we would win an additional game I think? I got destroyed too hard in the first week, so I felt really sorry and angry, and wondered “are we even helping them learn anything from these games?”.
不知道能不能告诉大家,我有找到自信的契机,在半决赛之前准备四分之一决赛时,我们和其他世界赛队伍打了凌晨训练赛,可能是被T1马戏团戏耍多了,和其他队伍打凌晨训练赛时,我感觉“很简单诶……不一样诶”,找回了自信心。被T1马戏团一直暴打,结果慢慢变得有得打了。
I don’t know if I can tell everyone this but I got the opportunity to regain my confidence when preparing for the quarters. We had morning scrims against another team (t/n: team name not mentioned), and perhaps we got played by T1’s “circus” too much, but I felt like those games were really easy and not on the same level as fighting against T1. This gave me back my confidence. We were getting destroyed by T1’s “circus” so many times that we were slowly learning how to fight back.
然后我们就拍摄半决赛的观赛视频了呀,我心里想着的是“如果T1进决赛了,那就要一直和T1打训练赛。喜欢和讨厌两种心情交织,说真的我也觉得开心能帮到他们,但是又很难打。
因为也有其他LCK队伍跟他们打训练赛,但是T1跟我们约了很多训练赛,我就心里想着“看来我还是有帮助的”,努力打了训练赛的。
Then, during the semifinals, I was thinking “if T1 enter the finals, we would need to scrim with T1 again. I was torn between being happy that we could help them, and hating it because the games were super difficult.”
Although there were other LCK teams scrimming with them, T1 scheduled many scrims with us, so I thought “looks like I’m actually of some use” and thus I worked harder in scrims.
——决赛周
我本来觉得我很擅长卡莎-牛头vs厄斐琉斯-芮尔这样的对局的,如果前期很顺利,被要求重开的话,我也会觉得“下一局再赢回来就行”。所以我们其实彼此都要求重开了很多次,因为必须要有帮助才行,可能一次训练赛不是打6局,而打了10局,简短的,对T1和我们下路都有帮助。
Finals week
I initially thought that I was good at the Kaisa-Alistar vs Aphelios-Rell matchup, if the laning phase went smoothly and we were asked to remake, I would just think “we’ll just win the next game”. In this manner, both T1 and us requested remakes many times, because the games have to be helpful (for T1). With this, a scrim session wouldn’t just be 6 games, but up to 10 games, and this was very helpful to both T1 and our bot lanes.
——胜率
观众:胜率如何呢?
第一周地狱、第二周有的打、第三周五五开。
对线期结束后,就算五五开也还是在继续对线,Keria大哥的艾希大招一直打中路,BuLLDoG一直被击中,所以对线的时候,经常听到BuLLDoG气绝的声音。我们下路就想着“原来艾希有大招呀,抱歉。”
Winrate
Audience: how was your winrate?
Reply: the first week was hell, second week we could fight a bit, third week it was roughly 50-50.
After the laning phase, even if the game was even, we would still continue laning. Keria’s ashe ults always flew toward the midlane and BuLLDoG kept getting hit, so while laning, I would often hear BuLLDoG’s shocked exclamations, and the both of us at bot lane would think “ah, so Ashe got her ult, sorry”.
——被马戏团戏耍过的英雄
1、尼菈+其他英雄,这最难打了,根本赢不了。比如尼菈+赛娜、时光;
2、Keria哥的巴德。
The champions that formed the “circus”
1 Nilah and other heroes. This is the most difficult to fight, literally impossible to win against. For example, Nilah + Senna, Zilean etc.
2 Keria’s bard.
——复盘对象
第一周cvMax眼中只有我,80%是Taeyoon,偶尔Taeyoon怪别人,所以20%是辅助;第二周下路50%中野50%;第三周中野。(决赛周)DuDu是神呀,偶尔被复盘1%吧。
Targets for review
In the first week, cvMax targeted me the most. 80% of his feedback was for me, and occasionally I would blame someone else, so 20% of the feedback went to the support. In the second week, bot and mid-jungle received 50% of the feedback each; in the third week, mostly mid-jungle. DuDu was a god, only occasionally receiving 1% of the feedback.
跟Gumayusi、Keria哥打过之后,打排位的时候就会觉得对面下路太可惜了,但排位辅助又不是我的辅助,感觉我在1打3,我想着“啊,想打训练赛,不想打训练赛。”
After playing against Gumayusi and Keria, playing solo q would make me feel like the opposing laners were really weak. However, my support in solo q is not my support (referring to KDF’s support), so it felt like I was 1v3. It made me think “ah, I want to scrim, yet I don’t want to scrim.”
