By the time we returned to the hotel, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Busan is about 400 kilometers away from Seoul. The two took turns driving and ran the entire 140-yard distance, which took them almost six hours.
It is true that the schedule is quite busy, and Song Soo-yeon's commentary team has also arrived in Busan, but the hotel is on the other side.
The two went their separate ways after returning to the hotel.
It's not that the two of them separated intentionally, but that it was difficult for the two of them to control themselves when they were so passionate.
Li Nian is about to enter the global finals. Excessive exhaustion of the body will inevitably affect his condition. In order to compete, they can only cut off first.
Back in the room, the lights were still on.
When Jack, a night owl, arrived in South Korea, he didn't need to climb over the wall to visit forums, and the Internet speed was pretty good, so he naturally started his international tour group tour.
As for domestic public opinion, let's put him aside for the time being and wait for the game to start before it's not too late to take a look.
"Yo!"
Seeing Li Nian coming back, Jack was still surprised. He turned around and joked, "You know you're coming back so late? Didn't you go out to play with Sister Xiuyan?"
Li Nian shook his head, "Brother, I originally wanted to go out, but I remembered that there was a dog in the hotel. He would definitely starve to death if he didn't come back. Now that he's back, why don't you thank your father?"
"Oh?" Jack tilted his lips, "Really? Brother Nian, I took a photo of you two reluctantly kissing goodbye downstairs earlier. How about I post it in the training group for everyone to see?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Li Nian spread his hands with a nonchalant look on his face. He took off his clothes and took out the bath towel from the box and walked straight into the shower room. "Hurry up and go to bed. You are really not afraid of sudden death!"
"I'm still young, it's not a big problem!"
Jack changed into a comfortable sleeping position and continued to lie down and look at his phone. Little did he know that he would become A Miao again when he woke up tomorrow morning.
A night of silence.
When I woke up, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.
Li Nian rolled over listlessly. There was another plane ride yesterday and a nearly 6-hour drive. He was already exhausted.
So I wanted to stay in bed and not eat in the morning. When the time came, I would get up and go directly to the training room to gather with my teammates.
But when he closed his eyes.
But it felt like the inside of the quilt was being roasted by fire. Even if he lifted the cotton wool, it would not help. Even when he turned his body slightly, sweat began to form on his forehead.
Does this bed board also have its own heating function? When did Korean hotels become so high-end?
"Holy shit! Is there a fire somewhere?" The Shiba Inu, who was still sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, woke up from the heat and jumped out of the bed, "This is not Busan, this is a volcano!"
Li Nian looked up at the air conditioner that had stopped working, frowned slightly, and was about to turn on the light to see what was going on.
But it turned out that the lights couldn’t even be turned on?
"Is there a power outage?" He put on his team uniform and short-sleeves, walked to the window and opened the curtains, letting his bright eyes shine into the room through the glass, "We encountered this situation on the first day we moved in!"
Before Jack could complain, Li Nian took the lead and called Vincent.
The result that can be obtained is that the box-type transformer inside and outside the hotel is broken, and emergency repairs have been notified. The specific time of the call still needs to be waited for notification.
Li Nian frowned slightly.
I feel like things are a little strange.
Sooner or later, the transformer breaks down as soon as their teams check into the hotel?
Is it really such a coincidence?
So he called his girlfriend to check the situation and found that there was no power outage, only the hotel where the players were staying had a power outage.
You know, this is a hotel personally selected by Riot officials, not one arranged by South Korea.
How to play this?
You must know that box-type transformers are associated with an area, and the load of a hotel is simply not enough to fill the capacity of the transformer.
So there was no power outage in other places?
Although Li Nian had some doubts that LCK had begun to exert their competitive spirit, there was no evidence and the weather was so hot.
He opened the door to let some air in.
At this time, the breakfast supply in the hotel was probably finished, so Li Nian went to gather at the location notified by the group.
The Shiba Inu complained all the way and wanted to complain to the organizer.
After playing the game for a year, I have never encountered such a thing no matter where I go. Originally, the training room was set up today, and the players will also enter a state of adapting to the version.
This is great.
Open the door directly!
The meeting place was chosen in a coffee shop near the hotel. When Li Nian walked in, not only the ig training team was waiting there, but also the other two lpl teams were already discussing there.
There are even some European and American teams there.
Li Nian frowned, "Have you seen the lck team?"
Su Xiaoluo shook his head, "In addition to playing the fake match in Seoul, the other two teams were supposed to arrive today, but they were delayed for two days for some reason."
"Grass!"
Jack scolded even more fiercely, "It's really disgusting!"
"What about the training match?" Li Nian looked at kkoma who was frowning on the phone, "We can't just stop training if the phone doesn't come, right?"
"I know..." Mafa comforted the team members, "We are already contacting nearby Internet cafes that can support us in training matches."
"cybercafe?"
Song Yijin drank all the coffee in his cup, "I guess all the Internet cafes around here have been booked."
After all, except for the three teams of LCK, the other teams that have been confirmed to advance to the group stage have already checked into the hotel, and the European and American teams came a few days in advance because they had to adapt to the time difference in advance.
So nearby Internet cafes should be more familiar to them.
kkoma put down the phone and frowned, "I contacted a friend nearby, and he said that there is really no Internet cafe around for us to play training matches!"
As soon as the words came out.
Not only was the ig training team silent, but even the players from rng and edg next door were a little speechless.
"Where's Vincent?"
Su Xiaoluo's temper suddenly rose, "Where is this guy?"
"Here it is!"
Vincent waved his hand and pushed the glass door open. He probably ran all the way here just now and was still a little out of breath. After waiting for a long time, he calmed down and spoke slowly.
"We have already contacted two e-sports hotels. Their environment and facilities are pretty good."
"Then what are you waiting for!"
Jack just pushed open the door of the cafe, turned around and ran back, "Why don't you go get something to eat first? I'm hungry!"
After saying that, my stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Li Nian was still a little full at first, but now that he heard Jack's stomach growling, he was also infected.
The ATP he had previously consumed due to anger now made him feel like he was about to faint from hunger.
"Then let's go eat first!"
Although the three teams are at loggerheads in China, fans of the three teams can't stand each other online.
But the relationship between the players in private is very good, and there is rarely the kind of feuding between them.
Even if there is.
They are also very few.
And Li Nian, a social butterfly, is known even to the sweeper aunt at Zhengda Plaza, so she naturally gets along very well with players from other teams.
After all, there are Koreans in each training team, so they will naturally have recommendations on what to eat.
Li Nian made a Korean bibimbap that KKoma highly recommends. It tastes pretty good, but the kimchi is a bit overpowering.
After dinner.
When they were about to go to the hotel booked by Vincent, they met the FNC players on the way.
After Mr. Bean caps saw Li Nian, he enthusiastically came over to take pictures.
Then the burly senior brother also saw Uzi. As a standard dog blower, he would naturally not let go of the opportunity to gank an idol offline.
After taking a photo with Uzi, he walked up to Li Nian and said in English, "Fly, I heard that you also found a training place. How about training together in the afternoon?"
】
The eldest brother looked forward to it.
They were their opponents in tms in the group stage last year. At that time, the senior brother was still full of expectations and was preparing to kill the third seed ig of lpl.
Let the world see what it means to be the king of the training room. The North American Renaissance is here today.
But things went counterproductive.
tsm was directly eliminated with a total defeat, and the senior brother was stunned by Li Nian.
Is there such a powerful jungler in the world?
Now that he has blown the Uzi, he is a good licker.
And how strong this year's ig is, this is something that clubs all over the world have seen.
North America also knows that its level is not very good. If it continues to play internal training matches, it will only become worse and worse, and it may not even be able to win the wild card in the future.
So now I have to make more appointments with the lpl in the first division for training matches.
As for lck.
Those stupid guys are still resting on their past honors and dreaming big, and are not willing to play training matches with the European and American regions.
However, the East Asian LPL and LCK are currently recognized as the two strongest divisions. If LCK is unwilling to play, then the only choice is to find a stronger LPL.
But after all, they have little contact with each other, and there is no one in the lpl. If you want to schedule a training match, someone must pass the news.
Moreover, everyone in the competition area is acquainted with each other. With three teams participating in the World Championship, most of the problems can be solved by practicing with each other.
And he heard.
Before the LPL went out last year, other teams that did not participate in the World Championship also organized training camps to simulate the personnel and tactical styles of each team.
This year, although he does not know the internal situation of the LPL, the senior brother still suspects that the LPL will continue the old tradition of training these three teams.
By then, the European and American divisions will not be able to schedule training matches with the lpl.
"Just play bo5 in the afternoon." Senior Brother continued eagerly.
The qualifying form of TL's group stage today looks pretty good. The senior brother who has never broken through to the quarterfinals wants to try it this year.
If we can learn some answers to the current version through ig's training matches, it will be a good thing for the entire TL.
Even though the main game has begun, you can still copy homework.
However, there is a big difference between previewing and copying homework first and cramming for it at the last minute.
"Why don't you go find our coach first?" Li Nian shook his head in embarrassment. If the team's coach could only order takeout, then his star player's say would be as high as the sky.
But after all, the supervisor of the training team is KKoma, and he always has his own ideas.
The senior brother looked at the coach who was walking behind with a straight face, and then remembered the time when his coaching staff had arranged a training match with SKT.
Decided to give up decisively.
He tilted his head and looked at caps, "Forget it, let's let our two divisions train each other, and just wait for the damn Marmot coach to schedule a game."
Several waves of people were on different paths, and Li Nian didn't know whether the senior brother would eventually make it to the training match.
He just knows.
The domestically organized training team started high-intensity training for the three teams.
result.
After they finished today's training match, a notification came from the hotel.
I won't call until 12 o'clock tonight.
Jack couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw himself on the lower bunk of the e-sports hotel and posted all the photos and texts he had taken on Weibo.
But.
Due to the special status of his own account, in order not to cause trouble to the club, he deliberately used a small account to post.
"Lpl team training match situation exposed!" There was a power outage in the hotel, and all the players were huddled outside the hotel to train! 》
have to say.
Jack is a good guy at starting a group.
Li Nianggang clicked on this post to read it, and there were 77 comments in just an instant.
"Fuck! Is there such a thing?"
"It's disgusting before the game even starts. When the game starts against lck, I have to cut all the network cables."
"It's so funny! I didn't understand why Riot Headquarters personally took over the game, but now I understand everything."
"happy."
In an instant, this post sparked heated discussions in China and even ranked among the top three most searched posts on Weibo.
Jack looked at his results with satisfaction.
Although he was still a little angry in his heart, when he saw that the brothers in the comments were scolding him, he gradually felt that he could accept it.
Not only that.
Someone also jumped over the wall and reposted this content to the Korean website forum, which also aroused heated discussion late at night.
Not long after, Li Nian's cell phone rang.
Han Wanghu?
After answering the phone, "Wanghu, why are you calling me so late at night?"
"Brother Nian, did you get a call from your hotel?"
"Not yet, still outside now."
A slightly urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, and Han Wanghu continued, "Our club has a branch in Busan. You can go directly there. Everything is ready."
Li Nian was slightly stunned.
I feel warm in my heart.
Although he beat Little Peanut to tears every time during this year, he even said on the Korean Internet that Han Wang seemed to have a 'phobia of mouth'.
But I have to say that this guy is still very good as a friend.
"Thank you, brother!" Li Nian thanked him in Korean, "I called the hotel in the evening. We will go back later."
"Fine!"
Han Wang hesitated for a long time without saying anything, "Then I wish Brother Nian to continue to achieve good results in this year's World Championship!"
"Thanks!"
After hanging up the phone, Vincent was notified that the hotel was coming.
The team members packed up their things and took the minibus back to the hotel, waiting for them to arrive at the door.
The minibus with kt stamped on it is also on it.
Li Nian's face turned darker.
tnnd, you are playing dirty tricks, right?
------------------
The training room is officially put into use, and they will also conduct high-intensity training.
And on October 1st, Seoul, South Korea.
The eight wild cards and the third seeds from the four major regions have also started a fierce battle to determine the last four teams to participate in the global finals.
The wild card division is full of energy and wants to overturn the four major divisions and let the world see how strong they are.
But.
After several days of fighting, the wild card teams finally proved that there was only a wide gap between themselves and the four major competitions.
In the end, g2, .g and lck's third seed g-rex also successfully obtained their places in the group stage.
Sixteen teams were officially established.
The eldest princess appears on stage again and will decide the final grouping.
Group A: fvb, c9
Group b: ig, tl, vit,
Group c: kt, mad, edg, g2
Group d: fng, g-rex
