Although IG lost the opportunity to compete for the Summer Championship, it does not mean that they will stop there. The LPL still has the last ticket to the S9 World Championship to compete for.
In addition to the Champions League FPS and RNG teams in the Summer Championship, IG also has to fight with JDG and TES for the right to own the last ticket.
In the first game, IG faced the very hot JDG. It is worth mentioning that IG's defeat in the LPL Summer Split also caused an uproar around the world.
IG, which is invincible in foreign competitions, has managed to get to the point where it wants to compete for the third seed in the World Championship. Is this because the LPL is too strong, or is IG pulling the strings?
When it comes to IG's success, IG has just won the Intercontinental Championship for LPL. It's outrageous that they can reach this level now.
Even this LPLS9 qualifying tournament has attracted unprecedented attention.
Not only domestically, a small half of the data traffic flows from abroad. The world's top teams in other divisions want to see where IG's problems are.
In particular, G2’s comments on Twitter are more frequent with the @yuhui. Ah P jumps up and down like a melon. Anyway, the general meaning is:
"Hey~ we haven't seen each other for a few months, why are you acting like this?"
Ah P's flirtatious words naturally reached Yu Hui's ears. She just laughed it off. What does it matter? Ah P also had a classic saying.
"1v1?" Haven't said it yet~
It's hard to say for other teams. G2 will definitely be able to defeat P's brother in one game, gasp in two games, and become famous in three games.
The qualifying round officially started on September 7. At this time, IG no longer dared to play with snakes. The starting top laner and jungler were replaced by Yu Hui and Xiang Guo.
The first game of bo5 officially started with much attention, and the first game successfully raised the blood pressure of IG fans.
It's still the same problem. Rookie in the middle is not stable, and Baolan in the bottom has a direct mental problem. The problem of the middle assistant backfires on Xiangguo in the jungle, making him invisible.
This game was quite brutal. IG was beaten 17-3. It could almost be said that they were pushed flat by JDG. Except for Yu Hui himself, everyone had a negative record.
At the beginning of the second game, Yu Hui decisively lifted the ban on Rookie's style of play. Rookie didn't understand how to play team-based mid-singles, so he simply maximized his lane strength.
Give Ah Shui an EZ to mix by yourself, and IG directly plays the most familiar mid-to-upper dual-core.
Xiang Guo's jungler acted as the dog's control tool. Yu Hui and Rookie reversed the version, one took Akali and the other took Jess. They threaded two ways in 10 minutes, and the game ended in 25 minutes.
With the same big score gap, they fought back against JDG. This game seemed to have brought back Rookie's confidence. The subsequent two games of Dao Mei and Xiao Hui both played well.
Yu Hui won three Akali team battles in a row and completed the instantaneous IMP, allowing one to chase three and advance successfully.
The next day's match against TES was even easier. TES, led by a left-hand team, was competitive, but without the 369 backing in the previous life, their team strength was much lower.
IG did not make mistakes during this period, but Asuna was able to successfully save the game every time and save the team. In addition, he lacked the ability to seize opportunities with his left hand.
In the end, TES was also carried away by IG 3-1, and IG successfully advanced to the S9 World Championship.
The news that IG finally successfully advanced also made the fans and the club breathe a sigh of relief. Although the process was stressful, the result was good after all.
The most important thing is that after receiving the promotion spot, there is a guaranteed one-month calm period for the IG players to regain their form. This is the most precious thing.
The state of the IG team has fluctuated so much that Principal Wang, who has gradually stepped out of the IG club management and moved behind the scenes, has begun to pay attention.
He made a special trip to the IG club base to support Yu Hui, and handed over his management decision-making power as the largest shareholder to Yu Hui's hands.
In this way, Yu Hui and Kkoma can directly make decisions on IG matters, and clearly warn others that Yu Hui is qualified to decide whether they will stay or leave next year.
In fact, Yu Hui already had this right before this. After all, she is one of the shareholders, and Meng Nan, the manager of the IG Club, is also her close friend.
Coach Kkoma also has a very good relationship with her, but Principal Wang needs to be more bluffing after giving her a name.
Principal Wang's inspection had an immediate effect. Baolan has obviously become much harder. In the past, he might have been a little dissatisfied with being pressured by the team boss to give him a lower ranking, but now he is really training hard.
To put it bluntly, he felt that Asuna was stronger than before, but the relationship between the two was not superior and subordinate, so he didn't take it seriously mentally.
You force yours, and I'll touch mine. Anyway, I'm the only support in the team~
But now, in the blink of an eye, he discovered that his teammate had suddenly become his boss, knowing him thoroughly and controlling his job issue next year, he became a little panicked.
He can pretend that the management doesn't understand the game and can't understand whether he is cheating or not, but how dare he say that Asuna doesn't understand the game? That’s not how self-deception works.
Yu Hui is naturally happy to see his changes. Generally speaking, if you have a correct professional attitude, it won't be a bad thing. Even if you don't make progress, you won't regress.
However, her mind was more attracted by the information given by the arriving Principal Wang.
According to what he said, this year's S9 World Championship will still be held in China, and the location will most likely be the Magic City.
This news really went beyond Yu Hui's expectations. The race originally started in Europe was actually moved back to China.
It is estimated that she plays a very important role in this. She has won the championship in two consecutive LPLs, which invisibly gave the Magic City officials a lot of confidence to undertake the hosting of this world championship.
The storm stirred up by her butterfly wings has finally reached a level where it can affect major events~
Well, that means... the Parisians really fell~
Weibo, which had been quiet for a few days, was once again flooded with LOL news. The news revealed by Principal Wang has been officially certified.
And this time it was not the LOL event official who took action, but the MV video released by the Magic City government official on Weibo.
With the iconic buildings of Magic City as the background, Senior Official Zong, then a senior official of Magic City, said in front of the camera:
"To all the players and summoners of the Global League of Legends, on behalf of the Shanghai Municipal Government, I warmly welcome the ninth League of Legends Global Finals to officially settle in Shanghai."
"Let's meet in Magic City in 2019, feel the passion of e-sports together, and cheer for e-sports together! SEEYOUIN Magic City 2019."
Ah Shui watched this very short but extremely informative MV and exclaimed: "What a shame~LOL, this is going to go against the grain! Is the city going to end? Or will the high-ranking official do it himself?"
Ah Shui didn't know how big a senior official was, but it was just a big one. Yu Hui glanced at him and didn't explain much.
The main reason is that this matter is not easy to discuss. Anyway, it is just a sentence. There are no minor officials in municipalities. If it is changed to other traditional provinces, it is basically equivalent to a provincial boss appearing in the MV.
It can also be seen from this that Modu is indeed preparing to bet on the gaming industry. They are also the first batch of officials to truly recognize e-sports on a large scale.
