May 9, Shanghai Airport
The lightly dressed IG people were already waiting to board the plane in the VIP waiting room.
After a period of rest, the training results in the past few days have been very good. It is indeed better for people to relax and not be too tense all the time.
"Sister Yu, Kz, the MSI team over from Lck, was last year's Dragon Ball. They were defeated by you last year!"
Ah Shui approached Yu Hui who was cutting fruit on the tablet and said, the teasing in his tone was very obvious.
Yu Hui stopped what he was doing and raised his eyelids: "Don't take it lightly. Last year, Longzhu lost more to the version than to us. Their jungle position was ruined by the factory director."
"However, the personal strength of their players is actually very strong. This year's jungle position reinforcements have been replaced by peanuts, and the bottom lane combination is also made of veterans. We still cannot take it lightly."
Ah Shui also understood what Yu Hui meant when he heard this, and scratched his head awkwardly: "Oh... I know~ I will train seriously."
Yu Hui's eldest sister has become more and more powerful in the past six months, and her style of training is also very correct, so JackLove listens to her very much.
Prince Ning, who was wandering around, came over and said nonchalantly:
"What are you afraid of? If you are really strong, you won't be defeated three to zero. You won't know if he is strong or not after two moves. Sister Hui, I will help you catch the guy who is holding the hair on the road in KZ! Let's see if he dares to do it in the future. Dare to say hello to you."
Yu Hui shook his head and said nothing more. Now there was an impetuous atmosphere in the entire IG club.
Since EDG won the S Championship last year, LPL has been the first division.
IG can completely win the LPL Spring Split and win the championship. This confidence bonus is very large. It is strange that everyone is young and not arrogant.
Rookie has always been very humble. She is a good boy in Baolan. Ah Shui was also beaten by her just now. Currently, King Ning dances the most happily. Although Rank does not play other positions, he is not interested in it. He is the most energetic one. The time was when I was looking at shoes...
Yu Hui rubbed his chin and thought about how to cool down this big guy from Northeast China. After much deliberation, he still had to do it with coach Jin Jingzhu. Longzhu was the team he coached last year.
When Yu Hui and others boarded the plane, the MSI qualifying rounds officially came to an end, and the remaining two spots were taken by FW Flash Wolves from the Wanwan Division and EVS from the Vietnam Division.
No one is surprised by this. Although LMS's performance in international competitions is poor every year, it is one of the five internationally recognized competition areas. However, compared to the top four in Europe, America, China and South Korea, it is still easy to be a wild card. .
As for Evs, everyone may not be familiar with the name of the team, but when it comes to the Vietnamese team, they can immediately think of many famous scenes. The Vietnamese team can be called an A10 attack machine in the wild card competition. The style can be described in one word. Reckless!
All the members are reckless, they don’t understand what operation is, and they just do it if they don’t operate! The passionate fighting in the game is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, so the Vietnamese team has quite a lot of fans around the world.
After the two qualifying spots were decided, the MSI main draw team list was also officially confirmed, which are:
LPL: IG
LCK:KZ
EU:FNC
NA：TL
FW,EVS
These six teams are all championship teams in the first half of this year's major competition regions. Most of the star players that everyone is familiar with are here, such as Ou Cheng, Big Brother, Mao Huang and others.
Of course, the LPL audience is most familiar with the KZ team of the LCK.
If you’re not familiar with it, KZ’s predecessor, Longzhu Team, just completed its transformation and achievements from the globally recognized world’s No. 1 team to the world’s No. 1 JB team last year.
As a result, this year in the LCK Spring League, they achieved a more dominant score than 17. First, they easily crushed the SSG team and SKT team that entered the World Championship together last year.
What's more worth mentioning is that they only lost one bo3 game in the entire spring split, and the winning games were basically crushing games with big scores.
Bidige
For example, after two games against SKT, the total number of kills was 35-8. One game was 20-4 and the other was 15-4. There were many 20-plus records against other teams. The scenes were brutal.
The old and strong teams in the past are all blocked by KZ and are being slaughtered at home. You can imagine how popular KZ is now and how swollen Khan is...
Yes, Khan started dancing again. This year his competitive status has exceeded his own limits and is even better than during last year's World Championship.
As one of the very few top laners who could compete with Yu Hui in the laning phase last year, lck fans did not criticize him too harshly after returning to China.
In fact, he was going to be blasted, but his good brother Huni in SKT resisted everything for him. After all, the guy just couldn't beat him, and Hu Burou was directly beaten to pieces~
So Khan is now full of confidence. This confidence reached its peak after defending the championship in the Spring Split. When asked in interviews, if we look at the world, do we have anything to say to the top laners around the world?
After all, Khan once again said the classic saying that will go down in League of Legends history:
"I have conquered the whole of Korea now. Top laners from all over the world, please bow and kneel before me!"
Khan's words caused an uproar in other regions, especially the LPL region's Yu Hui, last year's FMVP champion top laner. Many media wanted to interview her to see if she could cause trouble.
However, they were all rejected by Yu Hui. Anyway, in e-sports, you can talk a lot, and you don't have to worry about being ridiculed by others if you can't do it.
It's not that Yu Hui doesn't like to talk dirty, she said that she is insensitive to Khan who talks dirty. This guy has a bit of mysticism in him, and he will be beaten every time he talks dirty.
In fact, many people around the world are more optimistic about KZ. After all, the LCK division has dominated League of Legends for so many years, even though S7 lost the world championship.
The official also confirmed that the LPL is the world's number one division. Players around the world still prefer the veteran powerhouse LCK to be the world's number one division.
KZ's defeat in the World Championship last year was attributed by LCK fans to Khan's first participation in the World Championship, and was overshadowed by the old coin of EDG.
This time MSI is different. IG is more of a new team than KZ, because IG's current experience is very similar to that of LongZhu last year...two veterans who have been to the World Championship and three newcomers.
This is also the reason why IG's international rating is lower than that of KZ. Except for Asuna and Duke, the other four players are unknown to most players around the world... If it were EDG who was shortlisted, Khan, who was severely beaten last year, would probably not dare to make such a jump.
Finally arrived in Germany. As soon as a group of people got off the plane, they were taken to the hotel by Riot staff who had been waiting at the airport for a long time. Without much conversation, everyone packed up and started to rest and get rid of jet lag.
International long-distance competition is very difficult. IG caught an early flight in Shanghai, but it was still morning when we arrived in Germany. Who can resist this!
