There were visibly booing in the training room.
kkoma frowned and glanced at his analyst Xihuang. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, he stopped flipping through the ppt and asked softly, "Do you have any different opinions?"
The Western Emperor nodded.
In his opinion, kkoma was a bit exaggerated, and he retorted, "The remake of Sword Demon is simply terrible. It is not as good as the old version of Aatrox, and it is even more impossible to log in to the professional arena again now."
"I think so. I tried it twice and it feels really weird when I play it."
Sitting in the corner, he very much agreed with the Western Emperor's words.
"It's a bit too stupid. Whether it's the connection of skills or the construction of the model, it feels like a temporary stitched together monster."
There were many people who had the same idea as them, and even a few starting players nodded secretly, but unlike the gesture, they did not express their opinions.
After all, the version update of the Korean server is one version ahead of the Chinese server. The 8.13 version was officially installed two days ago. During this period, all major professional players were basically training in the Korean server.
The Chinese server has become a mess. Except for some live broadcast effects to create blackmail, or the Korean server account is inexplicably banned, people rarely open the Chinese server client.
KKoma is not surprised by what everyone said.
He relaxed his brows, waved his hand to signal everyone in the training room to quiet down, and pointed his slender fingers on the mouse to turn the page.
"This is the latest winning rate ranking of top lane heroes in Korean server"
Sure enough, Aatrox was the last to win with the lowest winning rate.
Even some of the old version of the Sword Demon's unique skills are beginning to think about whether they should change their appearance and practice another unique skill again.
After all, the opinions of players around the world were not solicited for this change.
Before Pudding was even implemented, a group of Sword Demon players complained, claiming that Riot was forcibly preventing them from playing the game, which was exactly the same as the revised version of Sword Princess and Enchantress.
In particular, Seraph, the sword demon's unique skill brother who was commented by Jianjian Stick as "a little green, a little green", felt that he was being targeted.
The Sword Princess rework three years ago directly abolished the Sword Princess specialization Ximen, who was famous for his "200 apprentices" at that time.
Because after the revision of Sword Princess, his proud proficiency is like buying an attribute clearing card and returning to the starting line like other players.
The same goes for Sword Demon. Unpopular heroes who can't wait for the professional arena are only played by some anchors or high-scoring passers-by, and they make a living out of them.
This revision of Riot directly destroyed their jobs.
Riot, a company based in Los Angeles, obviously follows this - you can make suggestions, but I won't listen.
so
The forums in each competition area have become a place for everyone to vent.
Especially as soon as the test server data came online, everyone's scolding became even louder.
What kind of pig nose changes are these?
Li Nian didn't speak.
If he hadn't been through time and had seen the famous scenes of Sword Demon in various versions, he might also feel that Sword Demon was really bad.
And kkoma continues to introduce it to everyone.
He did not hesitate to share his analysis with everyone.
Q has become three stages. It seems that the range damage is quite good, and it even has a controlled small knock-up. However, the shortcomings are also obvious - the damage relies too much on the outer edges of the first two stages and the center of the third stage. Area, other than the skill range, the damage is pitifully low, and no one will be stupid enough to take three stages of damage.
In addition, w has a forced displacement effect; the displacement of e can be stored up to twice, but there is also a cooling time in the middle of each release. It is good to be able to passively restore the amount of damage to minions or wild monsters.
Greatly enhances Sword Demon's online battery life.
In addition to spreading the devil's wings, R's ultimate move also increases attack power and size. The range of Q skill has also become wider and longer. In addition, the old sword demon's blood pool resurrection has been moved here. .
When veteran players take a look at it, isn't this just Raven with a different model?
It is nothing more than changing the flexibility of the Exile Blade to the current blood-sucking and resurrection mechanism of the Sword Demon.
Can Raven enter the professional arena?
Very blue and spicy.
Even Jiang Chenglu, the number one Raven in the Korean server, only dared to use it occasionally during entertainment matches.
It's hard for him to show off even in rank.
They think the same thing is true, and the Sword Demon doesn't even want to play.
Not to mention the rework of Aatrox, both his skills and basic attacks were slow, and his one-stop feel was extremely poor, just like the stupid one.
Is this really a hero that anyone can play?
The original painting is so handsome, what’s the use?
Professional players who pursue agility and elegance are even more indifferent to this hero. It's no wonder that several players echoed Xihuang's words.
KKoma stood in the center of the training room, taking in everyone's reactions. No one could escape his eagle eye.
It's like when the teacher stands on the podium in school and sees all the students' small movements, but they think their movements are very hidden.
"The Sword Demon was indeed very clumsy when it was redone," kkoma looked at the small blackboard, "but after it was implemented on the official server, Fist added two more hot puddings, which improved his damage and survivability."
Xihuang looked at Patch.
Nodding silently.
He finally understood what KKoma was thinking.
As a former professional player, although he retired for more than half a year, the extremely valuable World Championship has raised his awareness and operation to a very high level.
Coupled with the daily teachings given to him by KKoma and MAFA, a series of tactical requirements naturally formed in his mind.
The players also understood, including their posture.
However, at this time, rng's analysts began to sing the opposite, and continued to shout according to Xihuang's previous words, "It still won't work. Even if the sword demon is strengthened, his mechanism will not be able to play at all!"
kkoma was almost furious.
Originally, he didn't have much objection when the Western Emperor had questions. After all, the Western Emperor was considered half of his apprentice, so it was normal for him to answer the questions.
But for rng analysts, this question is obviously a nitpick.
"You don't know how strong this kind of heavy-armed warrior is with strong combat power and recovery?"
Mingkui's translation was called Xin Daya, and he also imitated KKoma's tone, which sounded extremely real.
Even so, some players and coaching staff members still raised questions.
It’s really not that they don’t have enough food and salt.
Rather, they believe too much in the ranking winning rate of heroes in the Korean server.
It has been a common practice in the professional arena for many years that characters with low winning rates are basically out of the game. Although ranked games and professional games are two different games, the heroes used are the same after all.
The winning rate calculated from the voluminous big data of qualifying can very intuitively reflect the hero's ability. In most cases, heroes with low winning rates are either not strong enough or have mechanical problems.
Representatives of the few heroes who can break through the shackles of ranked matches are the former 450-gold Ryze and the current Tsar. They are extremely proficient with players, and through tacit cooperation, the team can create a split-push formation for Ryze. To make room for the czar to grow, drag it to the shaper.
These two points are simply impossible to achieve in Publisher Ranking.
But what is the new version of Sword Demon?
Single push split? Are you afraid that you will be pushed to the ground by the four sisters in the top lane and rubbed against you? Or that you are so stupid in the late team battles that you stand in the front row as a human shield?
Seeing that there were still people who were opposed to KKoma's opinions and seemed to be getting into an argument, Su Xiaoluo quickly came over to smooth things over.
"It's just a little disagreement. Now we all hold our own opinions, and there will be no results in arguing?" Su Xiaoluo said loudly, "We will go first in the opening game anyway. In the game against Flash Wolves, how about we speak with facts?"
There was silence all around.
"My." The rng analyst also softened and quickly apologized to coach Leehom.
After all, the total number of people present may not be as high-minded as kkoma's ability.
He was the most noisy just now, but now that he thinks about it, it's really unnecessary.
kkoma worked hard to explain the version to them, without hesitating his valuable experience. Originally, they had no obligation to do so. Even if their opinions were inconsistent, they should have said it privately, but in front of the training groups of the four teams. Others cannot step down.
If you think about it carefully, this is a big deal.
The original version was for each team to explore, and the specific hero strength and tactical system requirements had to be determined through actual combat.
The winning rate in training matches is actually of little significance as a reference.
After all, TSM, the 'King of Training Matches', was released in the S7 World Championship, but as a result, in the official competition, he was directly treated like a chicken and killed by others, without even any room for resistance.
"Okay, okay, let me continue!" Kkoma took out his original temperament in SKT and continued to flip through the ppt, "I will put aside the matter of Sword Demon for the time being. The only thing we should pay attention to is Qinggang Ying's e The damage has been cut again, but this time it’s targeted at the top lane position.”
Li Nian pouted.
Fist is a real dog.
After cutting off the recovery of Qinggang Shadow W in the jungle, he then used a big knife on the upper unit to let him continue to be bullied.
To put it bluntly, I am still targeting ig.
The top laner position emphasizes melee combat. A single attack on the opponent may cause a snowball of single kills. Moreover, Qinggangying used to be the main e, but now he was slashed, which made Camille, who was originally facing macho men and women on the road, even worse.
kkoma looked at Li Nian again.
When his coach makes this move, it means that he wants to mention the jungle position that he values most.
"The wine barrel and the prince have received reinforcements!"
Li Nian nodded silently.
Everyone is especially familiar with his male spear, leopard girl, and green steel shadow.
But Prince and Wine Barrel, two evergreen trees in the jungle, are also his signature heroes.
"Don't be too optimistic." kkoma noticed Li Nian's expression, "But the prince's basic armor that was weakened in the previous version has not returned."
"But," he changed his tone, "the wine barrel is indeed a good choice. Now his W cooling time has been fixed at 5 seconds. With the enhanced Q and E damage in version 8.7, it is estimated that it will be important. Go back to version t1."
King Ning looked happy.
Although he feels that heroes like Wine Barrel are weak junglers, Nicholas Zhaosi's Drunken Fist ganking ability is excellent.
Paul Uzi's abilities are outstanding!
Li Nian took a sneak peek and saw that the information prepared by KKoma was very sufficient. This time the wine barrels were strengthened. He also combined the version updates from a month ago and put them together so that everyone can intuitively feel the changes in the wine barrels. .
Li Nian, who is familiar with the game process in the previous world, knows it very well.
what does that mean!
The barrel skin of the Iceborne Nuclear Bomb came out during the previous World Championship, and before the 8.11 version, the activity of ap-type jungle heroes in the professional arena was continuously enhanced.
Enough to prove it.
The former meat-and-win barrel will completely transform into an AP output-type hero.
also.
When more AP heroes appear in the jungle, according to the principle of combining magic and physical output in the middle and jungle, it means that more physical output heroes will appear in the middle.
Jace, Lucian, Crocodile, and Sword Girl.
They will all be active in the professional arena again.
kkoma continued, "Originally, the wine barrel was a jungle knife that could echo the echo, and then it was used to make equipment such as meat equipment or Knight's Oath, but now the second piece can be used to install cups like Zhongya or Ghost Book. transition."
Through the skill AP bonus of W, not only the damage is guaranteed, but the percentage of damage resistance of the passive effect can also ensure one's own frankness.
After the players thought for a moment, they agreed with kkoma's point of view.
In a version that emphasizes early collision, the threat of output from a wine barrel is undoubtedly much greater than that of a meat suit.
"At the last point, Fist will strengthen Pike again!"
kkoma tapped the small blackboard emphatically.
The hero Pike entered the professional arena for the first time and actually appeared as a mid laner. After the first Tiamat was released, whether it was clearing or roaming.
They are all considered T1 level heroes.
Pike, a huge fan of Jack, the incarnation of LGD in Summoner's Rift, and nicknamed Water Ghost, is now active in major competitions.
But although it is developed in the lpl division.
However, the mid laner and auxiliary positions are most commonly used in the LEC and LCS divisions, and they have become regular hero choices.
On the other hand, within the LPL, few teams use this hero to formulate tactics.
After all, Pike's proficiency is important.
Using support is not like the popular version of Zyra and Huo Nan in S6. It does not require support to compensate for damage. It is good to be able to provide stable control and frankness.
Parker was obviously unable to meet these two requirements.
However, Pike is very popular in ranked matches, especially in the patient round. The main reason is that people in that segment don't like to play support. A hero like Pike who can attack and show off just hits their hearts.
When Li Nian thought of this, KKoma, the head coach of the four teams, had already switched the slide to the last page.
At this time, edg jungler Hong Haoxuan suddenly lifted up the small bench and sat next to Li Nian, discussing whether ap jungler Li Keg should continue to bring predators to provide movement speed.
After all, it’s in the early stages.
A wine barrel that takes the output route may have a greater effect if it has a talent that is biased toward dealing damage, such as electrocution.
And kkoma continued, looking at rng's Uzi, "The sheep knife has been weakened!"
The current version of the Sheep Knife can be stacked according to the attack speed to increase the magic power and attack power.
But both values have now been weakened.
Uzi blushed and chewed his fingernails speechlessly.
After the Flag of Command was cut off, the team was already severely weakened, and now Riot is weakening the bottom lane like crazy.
How about simply deleting all adc heroes?
"Isn't this forcing us to change our style of play?" Uzi was indignant and almost turned into Uzi in the dormitory, swinging his Scud to give the fist designer good juice.
"It's so fucking stupid to use your feet as a numerical value!"
This change is an epic weakening for both the team and him personally.
The system of play they were proud of in the spring split is now completely bought and sold - they can't afford it at all.
Su Dayong and Heart looked at each other the same way.
They all saw the worry on each other's faces.
They are also aware of this problem, but so far they have not come up with a good solution.
We can only focus more resources on the bottom lane, allowing the middle and upper lane to be sacrificed, so that Uzi can take three lanes to show his strong personal strength.
Take the four-guarantee-one lineup to its extreme.
Uzi's favorite is Edici, who plays Sheep Knife + Hurricane. This kind of shooter hero with extremely high requirements for A moves is combined with his own nature. As long as he lives longer, the output will be higher.
Jack was having fun beside him, and his smile was very obscene. If the female audience saw it, they would probably lose their fans on the spot.
His playing style is completely different from that of Uzi. Apart from enjoying the happiness of being protected and valued for a short period of time in MSI, other than that, he is either fighting towers or on the way to fight towers.
Even if the team occasionally reaches a stalemate and cannot start a team fight, the Shiba Inu will be yelled by his teammates to start a team fight physically.
He wanted to say it many times.
——are you kid me?
However, Shiba Inu's mentality is still better than that of Uzi, and he will not lose his e-sports status due to too many deaths or being disturbed by his teammates.
On the contrary, every time after a sudden death or the opponent's first attack, just deal out all the output, and then wait to win the game.
He rarely serves as the team's absolute core output. This is the most essential difference between Jack Uzi and Jack Uzi.
But that's it.
Both of them have the same desire to win the game.
Shiba Inu was sent back to the spring after a set of output. ig could still win because his upper jungler could help compensate for his damage and complete the harvest; but once Uzi died, the extremely disadvantageous attribute of four guarantees and one was exposed.
If it doesn’t become 1, it becomes 0.
In other words, Uzi's demand for mutton knives is generally higher than that of Edici in various competition regions, including Jack.
Just like Uzi thought.
My fists ached with pain.
Why weaken rng?
But rng's training team cannot give this answer.
the reason is simple.
As a three-time MSI champion coach, KKoma only knows some unspoken rules. The immature coaching staff of LPL cannot escape the current limitations of thinking.
See further.
to be honest.
In addition to using the wild core method of S7 to win the championship in msi, ig basically copied rng's tactical system.
In fact, ig indirectly harmed rng.
There is no other way, and fists are not stupid either.
Naturally, I will also refer to other teams before cutting the version.
rngIn the second half of the spring game, Uzi showed outrageous dominance in the league. Although he did not climb over the ig mountain in the end, he still attracted the attention of Riot Games.
Although the main task is to weaken ig, it is reasonable to give rng a blow by the way, right?
Li Nian was wearing a slightly loose sportswear and ran to the door of the hotel huffing and puffing. Under the reflection of the morning sun, you could easily see the large beads of sweat on his forehead.
There have been too many games lately.
Sitting for a long time and adding extra meals from a nutritionist made Li Nian grow taller than he could pretend. If you didn't look carefully, you might have thought he was dead and had reached nirvana.
Breakfast in the restaurant has been open for a while, and a variety of appetizing delicacies have just been placed on the hot steamer.
Li Nian took three steamed buns and an egg, scooped out a bowl of white porridge, and found a seat to start cooking.
The location of this InterContinental Hotel is roughly the same as that of other cities. They are all suburban locations and are mainly used to receive business banquets or large gatherings.
Next to it is the Dalian Sports Center and some parks and coastline scenery. In addition, the price starts at 888 for a standard room even on normal working days. Normal business people will not stay here on business trips. They have better hotel options in the city. .
Today is still a working day, and there are not many people in the Intercontinental Hotel. Most of the professional players will sleep until noon, including Li Nian.
But, I went to bed early last night.
Li Nian also wanted to stretch his rusty muscles and clear his mind, so he got up earlier than others.
He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and the sweat stains on his inner thighs invaded the fabric of his pocket, making the screen covered with water stains.
He took out a napkin from the table, wiped it for a moment, and then the screen lit up. The memos on the top and bottom of the lock screen showed that there were less than 7 hours until the start of the Intercontinental Tournament.
He went out for a 5-kilometer run and now feels refreshed and in good condition.
Li Nian took advantage of his meal break to browse the e-sports forum.
Now that the competition is approaching, the summer competitions in various major regions have also been suspended. All the attention of the audience is focused on the competition between Asia and Europe and the United States.
In fact, in addition to the competitions between the five major divisions, wild cards such as LJL (Little Japan Division) and OPL (Oceania Division) also have intercontinental competitions, but too few people pay attention to them.
Even several domestic platforms are too lazy to fight for the broadcast rights of other competition areas.
But that's it.
The Riot Operations Department has a more precise idea.
They transferred the broadcast rights in the other two regions to Douyu for 1 yuan, allowing them to open a separate live broadcast room.
Bettas are not stupid either.
Just one dollar?
I'll open a live broadcast room for you, just pin it to the top and not push traffic to the algorithm.
During this downtime, the audience showed little emotion, and the forum was filled with blatant water experiences.
There is an endless supply of all kinds of gods and scoring stickers.
Li Nian skipped a domestic forum that discussed players' girlfriends and wives, and finally found an organization - 2018 Intercontinental Championship Preview: The opening game between IG and FW, can it win a good start for the LPL?
He clicked on the post and glanced down at the replies.
"Give me a kill, ig. I still remember the disgusting spectators at the Kaohsiung Intercontinental Tournament last year. Why don't we kill them?"
"Let me tell you something, those Wanwan spectators are really annoying. They ran away when their father won the championship. We, the powerful dragons, didn't suppress you local cowards, did we?"
"Losing to South Korea is barely acceptable, but if I really want to beat LMS to death, it would be over. It would be best to disband this division next year."
"What does it mean that losing to South Korea is barely acceptable? Whoever loses to the South Korean team today, I will blast him here!"
"If you lose in the group stage, you lose. It doesn't matter. As long as you win the knockout round, let the LPL coaching staff worry about the rest."
"No one cares whether the Sword Demon can go on the battlefield?"
Li Nian exited when he saw this.
Although some things are good, you still have to learn to limit them in moderation, otherwise it will be difficult to bear the physiological nausea later.
Holding the bun in his mouth, he saw from the corner of his eye that the restaurant had served egg tarts again. Li Nian quickly got up and went to get one to eat.
Take one bite.
The egg smell is too strong.
My evaluation is, don’t use KFC egg tarts.
That is the eternal God!
Although the LMS division is also considered a friendly force, after the disgusting incident at last year's Intercontinental Championship, the audience is now almost hostile to LMS.
Relations have become increasingly tense this year, and netizens are filled with outrage.
He felt that his breathing was almost adjusted, he touched his bulging belly, put away his mobile phone and picked up the dinner plate to put it in the recycling place.
Vincent, who is from China with fists, also walked into the restaurant with his wife. Both of them were very familiar with Li Nian. It was also because of his wonderful performance last year that Vincent was able to complete the flag and get married successfully.
"Getting up so early? Why don't you get some sleep?" Li Nian casually found a topic.
Vincent smiled bitterly, "I can't sleep. I brought Lexy here from vacation overnight."
Lexy smiled and nodded towards Li Nian.
Since the Intercontinental Tournament is being held in Dalian today, as the person in charge of Riot China, he needs to lead the team to communicate throughout the entire process of venue rental, lighting and stage design, hotel placement, and all opening ceremony design links.
During the recent period, he had to deal with the Asian Games, but he was really unable to do anything. Now he had to call Lexy, who was still working in Los Angeles, to come over to share the pressure.
Riot China's welfare and salary levels are considered top-notch even in some large factories, but I feel secretly happy about being paid in other places.
Riot China’s headquarters and its beachside headquarters in Los Angeles have implemented a code of conduct for employees.
Score points with pay.
In the past month, Vincent's dark circles have disappeared, and the bags under his eyes have become even more frightening.
It made him want to buy some Ma Yinglong to eliminate the bags under his eyes.
Lexy is now 4 months pregnant, but due to her long-term exercise and stretching, she has maintained a very well-proportioned figure, and no trace of her belly can be seen wearing a loose sweater.
Today was the time to accept the results, so he was naturally nervous.
"But after finishing this intercontinental tournament, I can take a two-year break." Vincent and Lexy took breakfast and found an empty table to sit at. "At least until the end of S9, Riot Games has no plans to hold official events in China. .”
Competitions are held elsewhere.
He only needs to coordinate the players' travel arrangements and hotel check-in to ensure that the players' visas can be approved smoothly.
At home, he has to shoulder the responsibility of the organizer.
The workloads of the two are not the same.
Li Nian saw that the two of them were eating deliciously. After secretly burping, his bloated stomach became hungry again.
This happened last time
It was still when he was growing up in the second and third grade of junior high school.
Is it a secondary development?
can can word when you go back
"There's nothing fancy this time, right?" Li Nian made some fried noodles and said, "The helicopter landing on MSI really scared my legs."
Vincent shook his head and said quickly, "The most important thing about the opening ceremony in China is the effect of holographic projection. As for the airborne ones in Paris and Berlin, it is unlikely."
Li Nian nodded.
Mainly because of 'freedom every day' abroad!
Even flying an Apache gunship
It's probably nothing unusual.
After the two finished breakfast, a white belly was just exposed in the sky. After saying goodbye, Vincent, Lexy and Li Nian hurried to the main venue to supervise the opening ceremony, while Li Nian returned to the hotel room to take a shower.
Seeing Jack still sleeping soundly, he didn't want to wake him up, so he went to the training room alone to warm up his hands.
But before I opened the door, I heard the sound of typing on the keyboard in the training room, and the light from inside came through the crack in the door.
"who is it?"
Li Nian was a little confused.
Because there is more than just the sound of a machine keyboard.
But three!
You must know that in the ig training room, the ones who train hard all year round are Broiler and Baolan. Even Li Nian's training volume is not as good as those of the two.
He didn't talk about it himself.
After all, it has the attributes of the barrage system.
The competitive status value is basically fixed.
Then the most important thing is to strengthen your proficiency with heroes and the ability to implement your own coaching tactics.
League of Legends is a 5v5 game after all.
No matter how powerful Li Nian is, there is no way he can fight 1 against 5 in the professional arena.
This is not scientific at all.
And his own teammates.
After all, the age of broiler chickens is increasing year by year.
He must always maintain his touch and maintain his peak condition to win the championship he still wants to pursue.
But Baolan is purely due to talent issues.
Among the five starting players of ig, only Baolan has relatively low talent.
But he believes that hard work can make up for weakness, and he uses crazy ranking and training volume to keep up with his teammates, at least so that he will no longer get sick.
Now, this training room is a place where the four teams stay together. Li Nian has never heard of other teammates who train so hard.
"Prince Ning?"
At a glance, Li Nian saw Gao Zhenning where the 'RNG' team logo was posted on the wall.
When I was at ig.
Prince Ning is notoriously lazy.
Relying on his talent, he often skipped training matches and went out to fool around with his girlfriend.
And now?
I went to rng for half a year and it became like this?
King Ning just ended a game, and the Wegame record showed that his Qinggang Shadow won the MVP with a record of 12/2/6.
He took off his headphones and was about to exchange a few words with Rookie when he turned around and saw his former substitute friend.
"Here we come, brother!" The iconic Northeastern voice echoed in the empty training room. Ning Wang smiled and walked to Li Nian's computer, "You kid!"
Li Nian slapped Prince Ning on the back.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the long-lost feeling filled their hearts.
The four of them stayed in the training room all morning. Except for Uzilai, who was wearing a tendon anti-inflammatory sheath to maintain his two-hand grip, the other players didn't arrive until reminded by the team leaders.
But there was no time to train anymore.
Jack has a cheeky face, and he looks listless in his summer ig uniform. In addition, his shoulders often sag due to development.
It made him look very uncoordinated.
Unlike Li Nian's figure with right-angled shoulders.
He let go of Silt Xiao Ming's restraints, walked to Li Nian holding his stomach, and muttered, "Why didn't you call me when you got up in the morning? I can't eat now!"
Li Nian spread his hands.
"Who told you to surf so late last night?"
If you eat at this point, you can also eat something to replenish energy. As for the taste and satiety, don't think about it at all.
"Here you Snickers Sweep." Li Nian took out the energy bar that was always available at home from the bag where he had just transferred the peripherals and handed it over.
Jack almost vomited.
"I used to cry to my parents to buy it when I was a kid." Jack ate so much of this stuff that he felt like vomiting just looking at the Snickers bar. "Now it's just the same thing!"
While the two were talking, Tengjing's staff knocked on the door and signaled the participating team members to come out and go to the Dalian Sports Center Stadium in the Mercedes-Benz SUV that was being picked up.
There are not many changes to the rules from last year. The lounges are not divided according to teams, but are settled in divisions. Vincent also specially arranged a few computers in case of emergencies.
"First bring all the peripherals to the technical department for inspection, and then line up to go to the dressing room!"
The guy from the technical department wore a blue jacket with the riot logo printed on it.
Their duty is to check whether the peripherals used in the game are in violation of regulations. Especially if there are plug-ins written into the peripherals, players will be prohibited from using this set of peripherals to compete.
Another Riot employee with a beard was still urging, "Hurry up, our time is very tight!"
Players and coaches from the 12 teams had to wear makeup on the field. A group of people crowded the dressing room. Li Nian was still discussing with Uzi about putting the LPL logo on his face.
At this time, I heard that Khan met his old teammates and expressed his emotions of meeting an old friend in a foreign country with a mouthful of xiba.
There is also a soft Bayan accent in the middle.
"Bitter, Fengtang, you are really rude now." Hong Haoxuan and his old teammate of the Lightning Wolves hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were still chatting and joking.
"Haoxuan, please don't tell Jiang Zi. Today is Fengtang's Good Friday!" Snake smiled innocently, with a baby face and a friendly smile. It was difficult to associate him with playing tactics with the team. At this time, he was still He patted his mid laner and said, "Be careful and you'll be caught by Shi Yiye."
Maple pulled her crotch and looked at her face.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Haoxuan, you have a good relationship with Brother Nian. Can you please ask him to let me catch you less today?"
Karsa's smile looks innocent. Except for her inverted triangle figure, which is a little thinner, there is basically no big cat disease. "He is just sitting there, you can go and fix it yourself."
Naturally, Fengtang would not really come to talk to Li Nian about letting go or anything like that. If they were die-hard good brothers, then that would be fine, and everyone would treat it as a joke.
But the problem is that the two of them have never talked at all. Even if they meet in the Korean server, it is just a simple exchange, not even a passerby.
Since there are so many people wearing makeup, and the makeup is not as detailed as in movies and TV shows, the contestants put on their clothes very quickly.
Li Nian was still teasing, "Bobo, do you know what the fishman's q'naughty strike' in the Taiwan server is translated into?"
Jack shook his head.
"I don't even have an account on the Taiwanese server, let alone the skills."
Li Nian squinted his eyes, approached Jack who was still putting on makeup, and said softly.
“Sea urchins are caught now!”
Jack was visibly stunned.
Then he laughed wildly, causing the makeup artist to tilt his eyebrow pencil, and directly transformed Jack's eyebrows into Dongfang Bubai.
"Fuck!" The makeup artist's job was already heavy, but Jack refused to cooperate. This move directly broke his eyebrow pencil, "Yu Wenbo, you have a big head, aren't you?"
Jack stopped smiling and winced.
He was usually lawless, but when he heard the sharp voice of the male makeup artist named Xie Beibei, he immediately became honest.
This big brother
But the e-sports circle is notoriously difficult to deal with.
You'll feel like you're on pins and needles every minute.
Li Nian quickly sneaked to the back of the stage to stand with other team representatives, preparing to step on the stage according to yesterday's rehearsal schedule.
After a brief glance, he found that the three stands were not full, and there were even some elderly people with white hair.
"What's going on?" Li Nian was confused. For the first time, he had doubts about his popularity. "Are the scalpers unable to sell tickets?"
Vincent spread his hands and looked unhappy.
"The schedule is only four days in total. The semi-finals and finals will definitely be on the weekend, so the opening ceremony can only be on Thursday."
"Workdays, suburbs, Dalian, and the intercontinental group stage, with four factors added together, do you think the attendance rate can be high?"
Li Nian understood.
He didn't know whether it was high or not, but he definitely knew that the scalper was losing money.
It’s not that Dalian is bad, it’s that this coastal city Riot Games doesn’t have a presence here, and the e-sports atmosphere is not as lively as other cities with main venues.
You know, the public beta of the League of Legends national server was on September 22, 2011. At that time, it was the era when cf and dnf dominated the Internet.
The audience is basically primary and secondary school students, and League of Legends is also a game user snatched from these two games.
Now a few years have passed, everyone has grown up and entered college campuses, and they have more time to watch games live.
The audience point determines the number of spectators.
There are not many colleges and universities in Dalian, and there are also many military academies, which makes it impossible for them to come out. Moreover, it is only a group match, and not many ig fans come to watch.
However, the entire Central Gymnasium can accommodate 18,000 people, which is considered a relatively large indoor venue in the Northeast. Compared with the two, the venue seemed a bit empty.
"But this venue feels better than last year." At this time last year, Li Nian was still sitting next to the water dispenser and was unable to qualify to play.
So basically he had time to watch all the games, big and small. The places where the camera scanned at that time and the dilapidated competition venues also left a deep impression on him.
There were hundreds of people in the audience at that time, and even the auditorium was erected on the spot. The organizer could not wait for the crooked audience to bring their own benches and ponies to rush over.
"Of course," Vincent also knew what happened last year. At that time, a miracle happened in the anti-pressure scapegoating bar - both the skewers and fans in the bar united to fight against LMS.
"The venue where we compete must be great!"
At this time, deafening cheers erupted from the three stands.
Although the venue was empty for the game, these thousands of people still showed their most enthusiastic side.
"Get ready to go on stage. Remember to follow the route laid out yesterday and don't rush the rhythm!"
Vincent calmed down and said a few words quickly into the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"This is Dalian, China!" host Ren Dong, wearing a blue ocean-colored suit, shouted loudly facing the camera, "Dear Summoners on site and in front of the screen, welcome to the 2018 Asian Competition!"
"Last year, the LPL division won the cup in Kaohsiung. This year, 12 teams from three divisions gathered again to fight for the honor of the division!"
Ren Dong waved his arm, "First of all, let's invite the team representatives to appear!"
"The spring champion from the LMS division, Team Machi!"
The big brother, who was 1.9 meters tall and looked like a bodybuilding coach, walked out from the backstage with his arms waving.
"I'll go. Can you kill me with one punch with this physique?" Khan was scared. He felt that even his former teammate Rat King Pray would get slapped twice if he walked in front of him.
"No!" Uzi said with a serious face, "These are all dead muscles, maybe they can't beat me!"
Li Nian lifted up his team uniform and glanced at his belly.
"I'm only 188, and my weight is exactly 140. He's a big guy of 190 or 200 pounds. Let alone you, even if I punch him, he will have to kneel down and beg me not to die!"
"Haha," Uzi smiled crookedly, with a ferocious expression, "Really? The Uzi in my dormitory is not just a wanderer!"
After saying that, he also showed off his punches.
"Wing Chun, Scud Jane Pride!"
