Mingkai will return to the team base for training on the weekend, and as Japan's first full-time e-sports team, DFM players will not have much more vacation time than LPL players.
In fact, in the two days after the World Championship, the team channel in the Summer Games mobile chat software already had the latest team schedule and information about the two players Ceros and Evi reporting back to the base.
Of course, Mei Xia's team contract ends next month, and there will be no games during the offseason. It doesn't matter whether she joins the team or not. At most, it will only deduct one month's salary, and the money deducted may be lower than the internal reward of a team that wins a game in LPL. ——But out of politeness, she has explained to Chairman Nobuyuki Umezaki and asked for leave.
Well, actually it can't be said that there will be no games at all during the offseason.
Immediately following the S5 Global Finals are the IEM Invitational Tournament and the All-Star Invitational Tournament.
iem is a serious tournament, and the organizer invites the teams with the highest votes from each competition area to participate. However, dfm, as a team from the ljl wild card area, is not even qualified to participate.
The All-Star Invitational Tournament follows the competition system of previous years, and weak players in the wild card division are also not eligible to participate. The 2014 All-Star Tournament directly invites the teams with the highest votes from the five major divisions of skt, omg, c9, fnc and tpa to participate. This can be felt from the number of entries. Get the gold content of the All-Star Game.
However, Riot officials obviously do not want to see entertainment games full of gunpowder. Their original intention was to make the All-Star Game a carnival for the League of Legends audience like the NBA All-Star Weekend.
Therefore, this year's All-Star Game was restructured. Each division no longer participates in the form of teams, but instead votes as a player unit. Each team can participate in a maximum of two people. At the same time, assassin mode, shooter mode, and the clone mode that brought clearlove into disrepute are all included. Get on the countertop.
In order to increase the participation of the audience in the wild card division and improve the regional influence of League of Legends, this year's All-Star Game has specially added a wild card team.
Therefore, in addition to preparing for the lpl, America's offseason also has one more task.
The LJL All-Star Game voting website.
Meixia's votes are outstanding!
Two days after making an appointment with Mingkai for duo queue, the ljl voting ended, and Mixia received a call from team chairman Nobuyuki Umezaki.
"Mixia, the roster for this All-Star Game has been decided. Several of our teams here in LJL have discussed it, and we should arrange a training match in a few days. It doesn't matter whether you can come to the team base, but you have to be at home ready to log into the Korean server. Account number. I will notify you of the specific time in advance."
"Thank you, Chairman! Okay! ... But I have something to do this Sunday night. If you arrange a training match, please make sure it is staggered." Mixia replied.
Umezaki Nobuyuki joked, "Okay, our Mixia is no longer a small player, time is very precious!"
Mixia replied, "Ah~ No! Because I already made an appointment with my friend on Sunday!"
It seemed that Umezaki Nobuyuki misunderstood, "Eh? Friend? Or a friend who dated in the middle of the night. Well, I'm not trying to get to the bottom of it. I'm just curious. Well, it couldn't be that Mika has a boyfriend, right?"
"No!" Mixia quickly denied, letting Mingkai's fish-eyes be her boyfriend and spare her, "It has something to do with the new team."
Speaking of her whereabouts, Umezaki Nobuyuki gave serious advice, "Oh, it's about finding a new team! It's best not to sign a contract in a hurry. You must play seriously in the All-Star Game. If you can make it to the All-Star Game, And if you perform extremely well, your value will definitely rise again. And there are recent rumors that the LPL team has ideas for you. If you tell them, they should be able to raise the price appropriately!"
He is worthy of being the chairman who single-handedly established the full-time team dfm. This method of raising prices is a beautiful one.
It’s just that Meixia can’t go to North America after all.
"It's still early to sign the contract..." Mixia said, "Don't worry, Chairman, I will definitely show off my style to ljl in the All-Star Game!"
After raising the price, she hopes that her last period in ljl can help e-sports gain more social attention.
Moreover, this All-Star Game has a solo mode.
The gold content of winning the solo competition is not low. In the era when there was no MSI championship, that was the only world championship result that a certain number one adc could achieve!
If you win the solo championship.
Rounding it off can be regarded as giving ljl his first League of Legends world championship!
…
Mei Xia played solo queue for another two days, and on the night of November 7th, she received an invitation from Ming Kai to double queue in the game.
Unlike pdd who uses double queue as a means of hype, Mingkai, who is now disliked by most viewers in China, does not even dare to open a live broadcast room. Double queue with wild card female players is very easy to be criticized. He didn't even dare to say anything, so he used a trumpet borrowed from someone else.
In the first game, there were several high-scoring anchors.
Mixia Yasuo was banned and Zed was chosen, while the opposing anchor took out Raven.
Mingkai took out his signature Widow. He had been ranking in the Korean server, and when he returned to the Chinese server, he wanted to use his signature hero to vent his anger.
The game is going very smoothly.
Meixia jumped over the tower at level 6 for one, and then Mingkai's Widow stole seconds to kill the Leopard Girl who replaced mid laner Raven after finishing the tower and sending troops, and then ate up the opponent's lower half of the wild area.
At just over six minutes, the combination of center and jungle had already defeated the opponent.
Then Meixia continued to clear the middle road, Mingkai's Widow continued to link up, and the advantage continued to expand.
Although the battle did not end until thirty-six minutes later due to Mingkai's inertial delaying gameplay, Meixia's record was very good.
14-2-5.
Perfect carry data.
kda far surpassed Mingkai's 6-4-12.
After playing the game, she sent Mingkai a smiling emoticon.
But Mingkai realized that something was wrong, because he hadn't played the Chinese server for a long time, and he really wanted to operate in the familiar Ionia, so his performance was better than in the Korean server. In addition, his own master level of 300 points was lower than his game level.
So I, a thousand-point player in the Korean server, has been helping mika to gank in the middle. Mika's record will definitely be very beautiful!
And with Mika's outstanding record, she felt extremely confident, thinking that her level was enough to keep up with LPL professional players!
If the winning streak continues.
There is no way to convince Mika to give up trying out at edg!
He secretly made up his mind to try to reduce the frequency of roaming in the middle in the next game, leaving Mika to play alone in the middle. In this way, even if he wins the game, the mid laner's performance will not be good.
"But you can't overact it! You don't have professional ethics. If Mika notices it, or makes him think that his idol is of this level, it will be embarrassing." Ming Kai carefully weighed how much water he should give.
Meixia is also weighing Mingkai's game level.
Although she had met in the group stage of the S competition, the competition was a team operation, and she and Ming Kai were opponents, so it was difficult to tell the specific strengths and weaknesses of a player.
But if you put it in the passerby ranking, you can easily feel that Mingkai's game is too insidious! The level of consciousness is super strong! For example, in the first wave, wild monsters were deliberately left alone and not farmed, so as to trick people in the wild area!
The shortcomings are also obvious. He doesn't know how to fight in teams. Once the opponent's formation becomes complicated, he will change his operation and start shopping.
"I don't know how to end the game. Just wait until the game starts and let him be responsible for starting the team fight. I will be responsible for ending the team fight. Maybe we can solve it..."
