Beijing News (Reporter Zhao Xue) On the evening of July 1st, the League of Legends Mobile Game Global Champions Cup entered the knockout stage. There were two duels on the first match day. The two Chinese teams NV and FPX both won and advanced to the semi-finals together. FPX, who played in the second game, defeated their opponent 3-0 and ended the battle "without overtime".
FPX head coach Li Bangming (ID: Butter) said that the victory in this game is not worthy of celebration. "Before the game, we never thought about the possibility of losing, so everyone should eat something quickly and take a rest. We still have to spend More time to continue preparing for the next game. "As soon as the opponent for the
knockout round was determined, FPX conducted targeted research on this team from the WCS Division (Southeast Asia/ Oceania Division). Considering that the opponent is a team that relies on the rhythm of mid-singles, FPX chose to tilt the lineup towards the wings. "They will also be one of the few teams to select Zed. They are very similar to us, so we also raised Zed's ranking." Li Bangming said.
As the overall champion of the first League of Legends mobile game professional league, FPX showed full dominance in the Global Champions Cup. By virtue of being the No. 1 seed in the WRL division and advancing directly to the group stage, FPX entered the competition mode at a very fast speed. In the journey to this year's Global Champions Cup that has ended, FPX has still not lost a single defeat. Now, after defeating RRQ in the first game of the knockout round, FPX is one step closer to its goal of winning the championship.
From preparation to competition, FPX, which seemed to have smooth sailing, also suffered a lot. Facing powerful enemies from all over the world, the team tried a variety of different lineups in training matches, hoping to improve their combat capabilities. According to Li Bangming, during the preparation period, FPX trained for more than 10 hours every day. In addition, after the team flew to Singapore, the challenges brought by the replacement of gaming equipment and the acclimatization in life also caused problems for the players.
Li Bangming said with a smile that after arriving in Singapore, the team made a lot of mistakes in terms of food alone. "The food here in Singapore tastes different from that in China. When we first came here, the team members were not used to it. We will try various takeaways. After purchasing all these foods, we will know which ones are more acceptable." After more than half a month of adaptation, Li Bangming believes that the team's condition has been adjusted well, and training and life are basically on the right track.
In this year’s Global Champions Cup, the four Chinese teams all performed brilliantly and stole the show on the world stage. In addition to FPX and NV, who are about to meet in the semi-finals, the other two teams JDG and JT have also received tickets to the quarter-finals. The two teams will attack the last two semi-finals.
mentioned the upcoming semi-finals with brother team NV, Li Bangming said that there is no need to worry too much. According to his analysis, the two teams had relatively similar playing styles before, with both teams leaning towards a "wild core" style. But now, he is confident that FPX has developed more comprehensively and no longer relies solely on a certain "core", so it has a relative advantage in playing NV.
Li Bangming also expressed some of his opinions on the challenges that may be faced in the game: "The game will definitely become more difficult as it goes on, especially the intensity of the WRL division is well known, and the fight will definitely be more exciting and exciting. In BP In terms of (selection), there should be more need to be prepared on the spot.”
Previously, during the post-match interview session of the first League of Legends mobile game professional league finals, Li Binming once told the Beijing News reporter that he would lead the team in the world. Win another championship on the competition stage and experience the feeling of standing under the golden rain. Recalling old stories, Li Bangming said that this goal has never changed, "In this Global Champions Cup, our team also has a lot of expectations, so the goal is not only to win the championship, but also to win."
