Chapter 55: Filming of "i What I Love"
"I lost four ranked games in a row last night."
"...What kind of good news is this? Is it for you or for me?"
"It's a good thing for our team." Ning let go, picked up a steamed bun, and took a big bite: "Because I've used up all my bad luck. On the 22nd, when we play against TES, I'm the chosen one."
"I can't refute your logic." JackeyLove thought for a moment, then added, "But are you sure you've used up all your bad luck in four games? Why not lose two more to make it a lucky six?"
"roll!!!"
TheShy quietly sat down to the side, picked up a steamed bun, broke it in half, glanced at the filling, and then silently began to eat.
At 8:10, Chen Song was the first to come out of the restaurant.
He stopped when he arrived at the training room.
There are already people in the training room.
Forge sat with his back to the camera, the screen displaying custom mode, practicing Ryze's combos.
He practiced one set of exercises after another by typing on the keyboard, like a robot, mechanical and focused.
Chen Song quietly came up behind him without making a sound to disturb him.
The training room was quiet, with only the sound of Forge's keyboard.
At that moment, Mafa walked over with a cup of coffee in her hand.
Good morning, Chen Song.
Mafa greeted him warmly, then glanced at Forge sitting in his seat before turning his gaze back to him: "Did you review the SN match on your own after watching it yesterday?"
Chen Song nodded: "I saw a little bit."
"What did you learn?"
Chen Song came to Mafa's side, pulled out the chair next to him and sat down, and said, "Smlz was too greedy with his positioning at the last red buff. But then again, it wasn't really that one wave that was the problem. JDG's jungle and support coordination had already compressed SN's vision very much. Although Kog'Maw was strong in the late game, the whole map was dark, so he could only go to check that red buff."
What do you think was JDG's turning point?
"In the second game, mid lane," Chen Song continued, "Yagao's Azir was relatively quiet for the first twenty minutes, but during that Baron fight, his positioning was incredibly clever. SN's attention was entirely focused on the front, but he circled around to the side and pushed, taking down three low-health opponents."
Mafa nodded: "Yagao is back to his old self."
Chen Song did not respond.
He was still thinking about something else, which was the match against Tes on the 22nd. Knight's performance was ridiculously good.
In the last three games, he had the highest damage conversion rate and the highest gold difference against his opponent.
How should we handle the Knight situation?
Just then, the other teammates led the photographer into the training room.
Today the club is filming a vlog, which will be a glimpse into the daily routine of the Summer Split. We'll post it on our official Weibo and Bilibili accounts later.
The photographer who came was named Yicun, an Instagram photographer. He was stylish, clean, and capable, making a striking impression.
"Hello, Coach Chen Song!" Ichimura greeted Chen Song as he entered the training room.
Chen Song was taken aback: "What did you call me?"
"Coach Chen Song!" Ichimura said matter-of-factly, "That's what everyone calls him."
Chen Song glanced at Mafa, who shrugged, indicating he knew nothing about it.
Then I looked at JackeyLove next to the village. JackeyLove was looking down, but his ears were already red.
"Just call me Chen Song then." Chen Song thought for a moment, "What exactly are we filming today?"
"I'll just follow you around and film your daily lives. You guys go about your business as usual, and I'll just record it."
After the contestants had all taken their seats, about ten minutes later, Ichimura finally raised his camera and began taking pictures of the training room.
The camera first focused on Ning, who was sitting down.
Ning was leaning back in his chair scrolling through his phone. The screen showed the Korean server ranked match interface, and he was still waiting in line to enter the game.
He turned to face the camera and casually made a V-sign with one hand.
"This is so Ning," Ichimura said with a smile, pressing the shutter.
The camera pans to the left, showing TheShy's position.
TheShy sat in his seat, the screen in front of him already displayed the measurement, which was in custom mode.
He wasn't practicing any complicated maneuvers; he was just repeatedly practicing a simple kiting maneuver: right-click on the ground, left-click on the target, right-click on the ground, left-click on the target...
Mechanical, repetitive, and somewhat boring.
But TheShy's expression remained calm.
Yicun zoomed in on TheShy's profile, the blue light from the screen reflecting on his face. His eyes were focused and quiet, and there was no extra curve to his lips.
After taking three seconds, Ichimura gently released the shutter.
Then there's JackeyLove and Baolan.
The two players were practicing bot lane in a duo queue game. They had just finished a match, and the results screen was still on the screen.
JackeyLove的卡莎11-2-7，宝蓝的泰坦0-3-15。
"Baolan, look at my damage conversion rate this game."
JackeyLove pointed smugly at the screen.
"I'm not looking, it's not like you played alone." Baolan didn't even turn his head, already preparing to start the next game.
JackeyLove persisted, leaning closer and pointing at the data panel: "Look at this, 42% damage share, what does that mean?"
"The idea is that the enemy bot lane is too weak," Baolan replied expressionlessly.
JackeyLove was taken aback. He opened his mouth to retort, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it did seem to be true. In the end, he could only mutter, "Can't you just give me one compliment?"
"No, praising you will make you arrogant."
"I'm not arrogant."
"When have you ever not gotten cocky?"
Ichimura pointed his camera at the two of them and took pictures for quite a while.
In the video, JackeyLove looks like he's been wronged, while Baolan stares blankly at the screen with a slight smile on his lips.
This feeling was something that Ichimura was all too familiar with and had an excellent grasp of.
This is what daily life on Instagram is like: noisy and bustling, yet somehow harmonious.
The camera finally pans to another location.
Forge.
He was the first person to arrive at the training room, and he had already finished his ranked game.
As Ichimura approached, Forge was watching a replay of the previous game, the screen paused at 8 minutes and 42 seconds.
"Are you reviewing the game?" Ichimura asked softly.
"Um."
Forge responded, his eyes never leaving the screen: "I felt we could have gotten a kill this time, but I didn't dare go in."
He pointed to the positions of Ryze and the opposing mid laner in the screen.
"He still has several seconds left on his Flash. If I use EW to stun him, he'll definitely die, but I hesitated."
Forge paused for a moment after saying this.
"I'm always like this, hesitant."
Yicun did not respond.
He raised his camera and looked at Forge's profile through the viewfinder.
Forge seemed to be pulled back to reality when he saw the camera, and turned to look at the village.
"Mr. Ichimura, why are you taking pictures of me?"
"Recording." Ichimura put down his camera and smiled. "Aren't you on Instagram?"
Forge was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, that's me."
"That's fine then."
Ichimura patted him on the shoulder, said nothing more, and turned to pat other places.
Forge looked at Ichimura's retreating figure, then glanced at the replay on his screen.
I hesitated for a moment.
He then turned off the match recording and started another ranked game.
......
After a few days of rest and adjustment, IG faced off against Tes.
