"Welcome to the wild, no heroes and villains"
"Welcome to the war we've only begun,"
'so! '
"Pick up your weapon and face it!"
Listening to the familiar melody, "Rise", a song produced by Riot Games, not only made Li Nian's heart surge.
The sleepiness that just came up was instantly suppressed by the passionate and exciting melody, and my body even felt a little warm. I wanted to fast forward to Incheon and win the global finals again.
However, Li Nian, who was hiding under the quilt and wearing headphones, smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Although IG now dominates the entire league this year, it has even won the championship on all major world championship stages.
The stage of the global finals.
Regardless of the team's past glory, it only depends on the support of the fan base and the pre-game score evaluations in major forums around the world.
A team that can reach the global finals stage.
Whether it is a wild card or the five major divisions, they are all teams that have tested their strength in their own leagues, and they all participate with the mentality of winning the championship.
No one wants to count reaching the semifinals as victory.
Even the weakest team in the wild card division, while laughing at themselves, also secretly wants to defeat other teams and win the highest glory for their club.
so.
No matter how high Li Nian's attributes are, he can only ensure that he makes as few mistakes as possible during the game and feeds his own rhythm to the players.
But once he is most targeted in the early stage, he cannot open up the team's situation in the first 15 minutes, and he also has no advantage online.
So the team is actually not as difficult to beat as imagined.
Especially the Korean team.
Although the operating model on which they got their name has now been weakened to the extreme by Riot.
But now, in addition to still following the old path, the strength of the midfield and upper jungle of the two teams, the African team and KT, are ranked in the top five in the poisonous milk rankings.
Even said.
RNG, the second seeded team in the LPL, only ranks sixth among the 16 participating teams in terms of midfield and jungle strength, which is even lower than G2, which is still playing in the bubble game.
It is enough to show how valuable this global finals is.
Keep watching the MV.
The camera gradually zoomed in, and the man in a gray sweater slowly revealed his breathtaking eyes. Behind him were the summoner flags of various teams.
All teams were eliminated in the group stage.
Then the man slowly picked up a rusty sword blade, and as the camera pulled, the weapons in the man's hand gradually turned into a spear and a trident!
As the lyrics of the second round appeared, the face of the man in the gray hat slowly appeared in the MV footage.
It is a face that is relatively common to the general public.
But
The dazzling eyes under the brim of the hat and the icon on his neck are exactly Li Nian's own characteristics.
The protagonist this time is actually myself?
Then don’t the three weapons held by the animated characters above correspond to the Sword Master, Leopard Girl and Prince selected for their first appearance on the world stage?
The camera cuts again.
The sword master's sword and the leopard girl's spear were carried behind him, and then he pulled up the trident stuck in the ground and walked towards the towering mountain in front of him.
Now in the close-up of the third-person perspective, the details in the MV are even more magnified.
Reksai appeared at 0:43 and was harvested by Li Nian with the Leopard Girl's halberd at 1:19; the Leopard Girl used by Li Nian to defeat LZ in the group stage on October 13 last year, you can clearly see Reksai's chest. Printed with LZ logo.
Li Nian laughed dumbly.
Reksai, who is known as the number one icuzz in the Korean server, has taught a lesson to the coaching staff in all regions around the world.
only.
Bastards will eventually be kicked off the stage of history. LZ was double-killed by Li Nian's IG in the group stage and advanced to the knockout round in second place.
Accompanied by the exciting music, the animation characters in the MV gradually accelerated their upward climb. They passed by a cave and looked inside to see Glacier Pig Girl.
Just when Li Nian was guessing about this heroic representative, his quilt was suddenly lifted, revealing the light in the room.
"Brother Nian, what are you doing under the quilt?" the Shiba Inu shouted, "Stop masturbating, my brother's takeaway is coming, can we share it for two?"
"Grass!"
He quickly paused the MV, and his stomach, which wasn't very hungry at first, began to growl.
"What did you order?"
The Shiba Inu raised his eyebrows, with a slight smile on his lips, "It's late at night, if you don't have some fun and a small barbecue, wouldn't you be sorry for this beautiful summer night?"
Li Nian was not surprised, but when he got up and got dressed, he still asked, "Can you help me make a bowl of fried rice with eggs?"
"Don't worry while I do the work."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shiba Inu's cell phone rang.
There was also the sound of takeout from outside.
Although IG Club does not have as strict work and rest requirements as EDG, the club lobby door is still closed at night.
If they want to eat, they have to run outside and get it themselves.
While Jack was out getting takeout, Li Nian unfolded the small table in the dormitory and took out two cans of Modern Coca-Cola from the freezer.
After all, for professional players, because their work and rest schedules are different from those of regular professions, they have basically developed the habit of eating late night snacks.
The drinks and fruits on the small dining table and in the freezer are basically commonplace items at home.
But that's it.
After all, Jack has a poor gastrointestinal condition. Eating late-night snacks, especially spicy food and cold and exciting things, can easily cause stomach problems for him.
Therefore, before eating, you must get something mild to nourish your stomach. Otherwise, it will be difficult to even eat a bowl of instant noodles, let alone a small barbecue.
Unfolding the barbecue, Li Nian brought the egg fried rice in front of him, and then cast the screen of his mobile phone on the Internet TV.
"I'll go." The Shiba Inu took a sip of Coke, saw the MV playing on TV, and immediately laughed, "Brother Nian, you are such a king of cards!"
"Okay!"
There are only a handful of representative figures in the history of League of Legends who can become the protagonist in the MV.
It’s enough to show the gold content of this MV.
"This pig girl should be..." Jack guessed. "Although the prince and pig girl were both the darlings of the jungle last year, they were the most impressive."
"It has to be Sejuani, the leader of SSW that we faced in the quarterfinals!"
"Indeed." Li Nian nodded, highly approving of Leader An who was still pursuing his dream after seven years of fighting. "His pig girl's ability to control graphics makes even the top factory director feel inferior."
The two continued to discuss.
Since IG won the first place in the group with a complete victory, they encountered G2 and TSM during the period. Although there were a little twists and turns, they finally won the championship.
The picture changes again.
Meat-suited Vayne, Galio, and Yasuo all flashed past.
The other six heroes in the IG championship skin, as well as the ancient dragon in the bird's nest.
"Rist has done a really good job in this MV." Shiba Inu said while eating. "The champions of understanding have all appeared on the list, and in the end Brother Nian once again appeared among the many flags fluttering in the wind."
Li Nian stopped chewing.
Follow the camera to see the Summoner's Trophy shining brightly on the top of the mountain.
Why was the original IG called the mountaineering team?
The big reason is because of the guidance of this MV.
But this year?
IG, represented by Li Nian, has become the guardian of the Summoner's Trophy, wearing the champion skin again and smoking a cigar.
He looked at the climber at the bottom of the mountain with sharp eyes, leaning against the throne next to the championship trophy.
The Chinese title of "To the Peak" appears in the center of the screen.
The MV is officially over.
The two also switched other programs to prepare to kill all the remaining small barbecues.
——
I was in Busan and just got off the plane.
Li Nian and his party finally landed. As soon as they turned on their mobile phones, they received greetings from various relatives and friends in their WeChat messages.
And Song Soo-yeon, who went home early, is also eagerly waiting for her boyfriend to throw herself into the trap.
It wasn't until the plane slowly slid towards the parking stairs that Li Nian finished replying to all the messages.
He looked up at the familiar Busan in front of him.
After all, Li Nian studied abroad at Seoul National University, and South Korea has a small land area. Basically, he and Song Soo-yeon would study everywhere when he had time.
Find out why they are so confident.
Oh, Doraemon is yours too?
After getting off the plane, before they could leave, Su Xiaoluo and the principal pulled them to the side of the plane and raised the IG team flag to take some photos.
After IG picked up his luggage, he left the airport and got on the bus arranged by Riot Games.
As for fans picking up the plane, especially since IG is still the biggest competitor of the Korean team this year.
Naturally, there will be no media or Korean fans who spontaneously came to pick him up at the airport to greet him.
The staff member responsible for player liaison is naturally Vincent.
He came to Busan earlier than other teams, contacted Riot Games to arrange the work of LPL players, and also helped arrange the training room.
Although Riot headquarters took the initiative to contract the global finals this time and did not allow Korean fists to contract the competition.
However, many problems were still encountered during this process.
If Vincent doesn't deal with it in advance, various situations may happen after the players arrive at the hotel.
"How rare!" Vincent said with a smile, sitting at the front of the bus, "I originally thought EDG would be the first to arrive, but I didn't expect it would be you!"
"Don't talk nonsense," Su Xiaoluo smiled at the team members behind him, "We at IG have always abided by the organizer's time. This is not positive, how can we win the championship?"
"Yeah!"
Although Vincent delayed and scolded Su Xiaoluo and the team members countless times in his heart, he still had to do his best on the surface. "Today is the 28th, and I will go to the filming of the promotional video on the afternoon of the 30th."
"Take these two days to get used to the Internet," he looked at the team members and said with concern, "especially in terms of diet. Fortunately, last year it was just diarrhea and it didn't delay the game. If it happens like this this year, Lady Luck won't be on your side. It’s over.”
The Western Emperor doesn't care.
Although Wallace caused a psychological shadow on him last time, his roast chicken was enough to fill up the entire shadow area.
And so.
Not everyone who eats Wallace will become a Splatoon. Once Xihuang finds a good store, he will be completely out of control.
"Did you hear that?"
Li Nian looked at the Shiba Inu, but he didn't really care that he would have diarrhea. After all, Koreans also like to eat seafood.
With Shiba Inu's seafood allergy, he would not touch it at all.
"When will the training room be available?"
Kkoma doesn't care too much about this.
As the head coach, his responsibility is to care about the hero pool and tactical design of the players. As for physical conditioning, it is a natural and professional person to be responsible for it.
Vincent emphasized discipline again.
"After checking into the hotel, you must follow the arrangements of the Riot staff. If you want to go out alone, you must report to the training team and then submit it to me."
Everyone is not new.
Having participated in countless international competitions, I am naturally familiar with this situation.
After checking into the hotel, Li Nian was still assigned to a room with the Shiba Inu. After all, the two had lived together for two years.
Both the living habits and the running-in situation are much more familiar than those of other team members, so naturally they were assigned to one group.
Li Nian had just finished packing his things and was lying on the soft bed. He inserted the mobile phone card used in South Korea and then turned on the light.
Although it has been out of use for almost two years.
However, since this mobile phone number is all the contact information of his classmates, teachers and professors when he was studying, he usually entrusts his classmates to help him save the minimum monthly maintenance number card.
Just plugged it in not long ago.
I received a call with the note 'Senior Sister'.
Li Nian was happy.
"Moses, are you Senior Sister Xiuyan?"
A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone, "Li Nian, Oppa, when are you free to come to this little lady's place for tea?"
Li Nian's index finger moved in response to the sound, and even Jack, who was packing things next to him, could hear his heavy breathing.
“Probably no time”
"But I will probably come to see you later. The Teaching Office sent me a message earlier, asking about my student status."
Now Li Nian has entered the candidate list of the General Administration's technical consultant, but due to studying abroad, he was unable to arrive at the post at the first time.
It is estimated that Ms. Qin also submitted an application to transfer Li Nian's academic status to China.
But that's it.
He still needs to take the assessment to enter a domestic university. As for the specifics, this matter will be discussed later.
It won't be too simple anyway.
"Then I will drive to pick you up!" Song Xiuyan was not surprised. "You can come down in 30 minutes. There is a little traffic jam at this time."
"OK."
Although the transfer of student status does not necessarily require physical presence, going to school allows him to say goodbye to his former classmates and teachers.
After all, they have lived together for almost a year.
After reporting to Su Xiaoluo, Li Nian got into his girlfriend's car leisurely.
"After all, you are also a chaebol?" Li Nian put on his seat belt, "Just drive your domestic Hyundai car to pick me up?"
"Be low-key, be low-key."
Song Xiuyan wore sunglasses and glanced at her boyfriend, "It's done, sisters, it's time to rush!"
"Slower."
The two of them raced all the way and soon arrived at Li Nian's school.
After having a meal in the cafeteria and feeling the youthful enthusiasm on campus, Li Nian said goodbye to his classmates and professors.
Taking his student status file, Li Nian got into his girlfriend's car again and prepared to go back to the hotel.
"What are your plans for next year?"
Song Soo-yeon asked, "Should you continue to fight for your Triple Crown, or are you going to finish college?"
Li Nian looked at his girlfriend in surprise and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"Say it!"
"In fact, I do not know"
Li Nian looked out the window and watched the highway passing by outside.
"I don't know this question either."
“Let’s think about it after this year’s World Championship is over!”
