At 5:40 pm Eastern European Time on October 9, 2015, the Pullman venue in Paris, France, was brightly lit.
The League of Legends World Championship is being held here, and off the field is the third game of the second round of Group C. The lpl team edg faces the dfm team from Japan's ljl.
The game is coming to an end.
In the Summoner's Rift with endless signals, the DFM duo, who were replenishing troops in the middle, stepped into the river on the left without any vision.
"The bright moon is not here, so talk loudly! I threw it loudly!" Clearlove, the factory director crouching in the grass, decisively threw the explosive barrel into the corner.
boom! Soriyagatong!
Pawn's Yasuo immediately followed up with the ultimate move, flying and slashing, and then Ekko flashed eqa. The explosion of the three instantly evaporated the full-blooded abyss maw Kog'Maw in the air, and then killed the dfm auxiliary Thresh.
After the team battle, DFM's best-developed mid laner Jiao Yuecai teleported and landed belatedly.
"Get the big dragon, revive in fifty seconds, take the big dragon first and then another wave!" The factory director continued to implement his steady command style.
In fact, at such a late stage, after killing the ad and support, and using bare crystals on the top lane, it doesn't make much difference whether or not you can take the baron.
But even so, edg did not dare to let down its vigilance. It was true that lpl overturned too many times in this group stage.
Not to mention LGD, who had zero wins in the first round and reversed their Q, and ig, who surrendered during the holiday with one win in the first round, even they themselves had an embarrassing record of 2-2 due to two consecutive losses to SKT before defeating dfm!
What's more, before this wave of 5v4 team battles, they were 3,000 yuan behind the wild card ljl team dfm!
Given the historical origins of the three East Asian countries, several contestants can fully imagine how ferocious the verbal and written criticism in domestic forums would be if the situation fell behind!
"The jungler on the opposite side has some remaining health, so he should go home. The bright moon has not come yet, so clear the troops in the middle." Assistant Sister Kou reminded.
All edg members breathed a sigh of relief.
They successfully punished the dragon and led the top line of troops to advance vigorously, advancing all the way to the base.
And dfm's lonely Haoyue still clears troops in the middle lane as if there is no one around, not even guarding the highland crystal.
This approach in the passerby ranking shows that the person has given up resistance and is purely protecting KDA.
finally.
Forty-three minutes and six seconds.
DFM's jungler and top laner died tragically in front of the spring, giving EDG an extra 6,000 damage and two kills.
The blue square crystal shattered.
Commentator Changmao congratulated, "Congratulations to edg. They defeated the dfm team without any danger and still have their hope of qualifying firmly in their hands!"
The MSI champion, the favorite EDG, defeated the LJL team, which had lost all four group matches before, and it was natural for them to do so.
But this inconspicuous group match did attract a lot of attention from the audience because of its uniqueness.
Audiences as far away as China stood up and shouted, and the barrage and comments were filled instantly.
"EDG finally won. As long as nothing happens, there is a high probability that they will advance to the knockout round! I hope that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, LGD and IG who are on the edge of elimination will be able to survive!"
"It's so dangerous. The female mid laner in the dfm team is very powerful. She almost overturned edg by herself."
"Indeed, even pawn's Yasuo can't suppress her Haoyue. I feel that the laning and operation are at LPL level. The wild card team is getting stronger and stronger!"
"Haha, edg played like this in the group stage. Are you sure it's not that they are too weak but that the wild cards are too strong?!"
On the other hand, because their team made it to the World Championship for the first time, the high school students and college students in the island nation stayed up all night as cloud viewers. They reluctantly turned off the live broadcast interface and launched two completely different comments on Twitter and 4ch. The former congratulated EDG in a friendly way, while the latter was a friendly comment from various sources. Kind of dirty talk.
Finally, they unanimously expressed their admiration and curiosity for the female players of dfm.
Yes, the most eye-catching thing about this game is that the mid laner of the dfm team is sitting in the seat of a cute and delicate girl.
And this talented female player who just joined DFM less than a year ago and led her team to the main round of the World Championship is our protagonist Tao Xia from time-travel.
Of course, Tao Xia was already her name in her previous life, and her name in this life is Momotani Mika.
The name of the game is mika.
…
On one side of the competition stage, the DFM players took off their headphones.
"Sin Song Hamida..."
"Private Marseille! Private Marseille!"
“xksmhuxisnhixpjs…”
Listening to the familiar yet unfamiliar Peninsular and Islander dialects, Momotani Mika felt very uncomfortable, but it was not entirely because she lost the game.
It was an accident to break into the wild card round with dfm's configuration strength. As for advancing to the knockout rounds, it was like a dream.
She just thought about the past and the final outcome of edg, and she couldn't help but feel sad and then in a trance.
In my distant memory, I should be eating skewers and drinking Coke in my college dormitory. As the only team that had a bright future in advancing to the knockout rounds of LPL, edg, I watched this group stage with strong expectations.
She even vividly remembered the post she made on the [Swell] bar after watching the game, influenced by her optimism.
[The situation is not too bad. With two defeats, edg can only advance to the second place in the group, while LGD and IG can only advance to the second place in the group if they both gave away points in the first round.
In other words, there is no civil war in the top eight among LPL teams, and the possibility of civil war in the finals is slim! 】
Thinking about it, I was in the period of disillusionment after the idea of LPL being invincible was broken. I still had unrealistic illusions and knew nothing about the lower limits of LPL and EDG...
That three-year dark period...
In s5, skt won the championship.
s6, skt won the championship.
s7, ssg won the championship.
lck has made a glorious history in the division, Faker has re-consolidated his status as the big devil, and a generation of veteran leader An has won the coveted crown and retired with glory.
In the past three years, the hope of LPL winning the championship always seemed to exist. Every year, capital injection, signings, and the league were in full swing, but in the World Championship, they were trampled to pieces again and again...
Those three seasons are an eternal pain in the hearts of every old Chinese LPL audience.
"So, I'm already a Sakura girl, okay! The dark period of lpl is none of my business!" Momotani Mika shook her head, trying to get rid of all the shadows.
Reborn in a parallel world, she possesses the entire seventeen-year memory of her original owner. She has a father who works as a middle-level worker in a chemical industry society in Tokyo, and a mother who inherits the ancestral family business and runs a flower shop.
There is also a cute and sensible sister, an amiable neighbor and classmate, and four Internet-addicted teenagers from the same team.
As for Tao Xia and his family overseas, this person has long been unknown in this parallel world.
So, what does the dark age of LPL have to do with myself being reborn in Tokyo?
Relying on this gifted body to revitalize ljl, secure the position of ljl's number one mid laner, and have the opportunity to travel twice a year at public expense, and at the same time make good use of one's excellent appearance and strength to earn the favor of the Japanese, it is the most comfortable A comfortable choice.
Put yourself into the perspective of the indigenous Sakura girl.
Looking at the five high-spirited players on the opposite side, I imagined that this team that had just defeated me would enter the abyss in the eight-to-four game in the near future. As an opponent, I should have been happy to add insult to injury - this is the group What will happen if Sai defeats me! Let you laugh happily now, and you may cry later!
In the previous life, I could still be disappointed and scolded Edg, "Ming Zi Ba Hua, Kai Zi Ba Hua, Zi Zi Ba Hua, top eight every year."
Or, "Congratulations to the edg team for breaking through in team history and advancing to the top 16!"
There is also a more straightforward one, "Pig factory, get out of here and retire immediately!"
But she is already a Tokyo female jk.
lpl, I'm so unfamiliar.
uzi, factory director, vgod……
Who are these IDs? Gumi Marseille, I am just a talented girl who has only been playing League of Legends for a year. Faker is my idol. I really don’t know these players who have never even won the World Championship.
Before today, she had always thought this way.
Do the same thing.
Live a new life happily, play League of Legends leisurely, and not be sad about gains and losses or victory or defeat. Just like all Fengnan players, they purely enjoy the fun of the game.
However, when the World Championship journey was coming to an end, news of consecutive losses in the previous round of lpl reached my ears.
Today, I really looked at the youthful girl, the factory director and deft who were at their peak, Pawn who was suffering from back injuries in his twilight years of his career, and amazingj, the Lord of the River with a smile on his face, walking towards him and extending his hand to me. grip.
The tragic memories in her heart were like a bottomless black hole, trying to swallow her whole.
She found that she could not be indifferent to lpl.
It is impossible to shatter all the youth memories engraved in the bone marrow. Even if you change your identity and become a Sakura girl, it is difficult to let go of the feelings of the simple Chinese lpl audience who are integrated into the flesh and blood.
After all, if we deny everything before rebirth, we are equivalent to denying the existence of everything that comes from the famous Chinese work Tao Xia.
Since she denied all of that, why did she still play League of Legends alone in Tokyo, where the moba game environment is cold, and why did she join ljl. Wouldn't it be easier to use the memory of three years of rebirth to speculate in coins and buy games to earn a lot of money?
In fact, happily accepting her current female identity, finding a rich man and living a shameless married life, posting selfies and watching anime in her free time, is the life that a beautiful girl named Momotani Mika should lead.
Momotani Mika held the hot palm of the last player who came over, the director.
She gave the answer in her heart, "Yes, I'm so angry! I'm going to feel bad about LPL losing the S5, S6 and S7 games, even if my ID card says Tokyo..."
Momotani Mika let go and spoke Chinese language to the factory manager that she had not spoken for more than a year, "You will suffer a lot if you play against FNC in the top eight. Study them carefully in advance, and be careful with Huni's top laner Riven and AD Kenan. "
The memory of S5 was too far away, and the reverse q and the golden light were so eye-catching that when looking back on the top eight bo5 game, she could only vaguely remember rekkes' signature Kennen and peak huni's Riven.
But maybe it's just a matter of words, and the result is completely different.
"Ah? You speak Chinese?!" The factory director heard the clear and unfamiliar words of the beautiful ljl player who is popular all over the world in this world competition, and immediately thought that he had heard wrong.
Momotani Mika smiled and said, "I am your fan, the director, so I taught myself Chinese."
I have wanted to say this to the factory director for a long time, but unfortunately I failed to beat the "idol" violently, and was beaten violently by the "idol" instead.
After the brief exchange between handshakes, she stopped explaining the prophetic reminder and left with her mouse and keyboard.
The director was left in a daze, feeling complacent about becoming the idol of a beautiful player, but at the same time puzzling about being wary of FNC's comments.
As well as speeches on the live broadcast interface.
"The Japanese female player seemed to have said something to the factory director just now!"
"She seemed to be smiling!"
"The factory director is so happy now!"
