In RGE's hotel practice room, COMP stared blankly at the screen while his right hand subconsciously moved the mouse, practicing the fundamentals of an AD.
Yes, last-hitting.
As a relatively weak regional team, RGE differed from those top teams and their players. They tended to pay more attention to pre-match data collection. For example, in this Ranked Match, aside from Luo Zhen, the other pro players had all been identified by their teammates and coaches as soon as the loading screen appeared.
It couldn't be helped. They were too easy to recognize.
LCK players tended to be pretty straightforward about this. They either put their team name in front of their ID or turned their names into a long string of English letters. GENG's Bot Lane Combo was the latter. To Luo Zhen, it was just a jumble of English letters, but to the RGE players, it might as well have said outright: I am GENG's bot lane.
Domestic teams were the same. It was basically the standard team name plus player ID setup. At most, they would mess around by using each other's names, but fundamentally, they still made it clear which team they belonged to.
Only Luo Zhen had to be different. He was using VIT.
And that created a problem.
Normally, pro players who played Bot Lane AD competed on fundamentals. No matter how damn amazing you claimed to be, after the two bot lanes traded a few times and kited around each other, everyone would have a rough idea of your level.
But what was he seeing now?
The GENG bot lane duo, whom he had regarded as a major threat before the match, had actually been taken advantage of early on by some unknown Ashe Support. At first, he thought GENG simply wasn't playing seriously
