Leading: The second round of the World Championship begins, each group only has one day to decide two places, the pace of the game is very fast, the team has to play several games in a row. This kind of speed not only means that there is no time to prepare tactics, but also tests the mentality of the players. If you lose an inning and can't adjust, the next few games will also be affected.
FPX is like this, losing to DK affects the mentality of the players, and the atmosphere in the team is very dull. Except for Jin Gugu, who can say two words, the other players are silent with their faces pulled. This state of affairs had a great impact on the game, and in the end, Jin Gogu and Xiaotian became the target of everyone, carrying the pot with the coach.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" > Xiaotian's first collapse mentality? The day before the race he abruptly gave up qualifying</h1>
However, is the FPX collapse mentality really because of DK? They didn't do well in the first set either, with no growth and adjustment at all. Whether it is the player operation or the coach BP, it is similar to the first round, including the decision to choose the prince of Xiaotian. Attentive fans found that Xiaotian may be the first to collapse his mentality, and the day before the game he suddenly gave up qualifying.
There is an offseason a day before the start of the second round, but The Players in Group A do not get a break. In preparation for the race, the FPX players are all in qualifying. Judging from the game records, after Niu Bao finished the training game, from 2:00 a.m. to 5:30 a.m., Liu Qingsong started at about the same time as him, and the queue reached 7 o'clock, and Jin Gugu and Lin Weixiang lined up from 4 a.m. to about 7 o'clock in the morning.
Only Xiaotian was absent from the rankings, and the game record stopped on the afternoon of the fourteenth, and it was never launched again. The FPX player training sessions are fixed, and the timing of their training can be inferred from the ranking records of the other four people. Obviously, Xiaotian can't play a training match when he is absent, and his teammates are in the rankings.
Is the FPX collapse mentality related to off-field factors? Xiaotian didn't play a training match with his teammates
The first guess is that Xiaotian is using other game accounts to practice "secret weapons" to cope with the second round of the group stage. The second guess is that Xiaotian did not perform well, the coach trained through the way of "opening the small stove", and Xiaotian did not qualify with his teammates.
There is also speculation that Xiaotian has a bad mentality, and the pressure is too great during this time. On the eve of the competition, the other players were in the rankings, and he could only find a psychological mentor to appease himself. Otherwise, why did Xiao Tian look bad and not act with his teammates. This off-field factor will affect the state of the players and the atmosphere of the team.
I personally think that the possibility of the third situation is more likely, Xiaotian's mentality has had problems in the spring game, resting for a long time, but this world game did not bring substitutes to play wild, so Xiaotian can only adjust his mentality through a short break.
In the S11 World Championship, each team can have 2 substitutes, but the total number is limited to 12. From the perspective of the horse after the cannon, it is really better to bring two substitutes, one on the single and one in the field, not that nunuri and Xiaotian's strength is not good, but the mentality of the two is easy to go wrong. For example, in the situation that occurs in the group stage now, if the substitute plays, it may have a miraculous effect. There is precedent for this situation, such as the 18-year RNG team, that is, playing wild and single and double rotation, every critical moment, when Karsa's pressure is too great, MLXG is ordered to appear, the effect is very good.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > summary</h1>
Admittedly, this year's PFX is disappointing, missing the spring and summer championships, and the world group stage play is very poor, not worthy of the LPL's second seed, this psychological gap is unacceptable to anyone. As viewers, we don't know if there is anything wrong with them, but one thing is undeniable, there is an error in their version of the understanding, and this error leads to operational deformation and poor mentality. In the end, losing is losing, and the players must be very uncomfortable in their hearts, and I hope that the remaining LPL3 teams will continue to cheer.
