For Su Can, coming to Europe is not unfamiliar.
At last year's MSI, everyone stayed here for a while and felt that it was okay.
What's more interesting is that the first time I met An Lan was in Paris.
This time can be regarded as a revisit to the old place.
Su Can's comeback at that time was partly due to this reason.
After thinking about it, this year’s World Championship will be held in Europe.
It just so happens that An Lan is also studying in Europe, and I haven't seen him for a while.
When we are together every day, we even feel a little tired.
But I haven’t seen you for a while, and I miss you more.
When Su Can comes back to play, the bottom line is to be able to participate in the World Championships.
After coming to Europe, I can meet An Lan.
Su Can flew directly to London, where An Lan studied abroad.
It's a pity that she hasn't had a holiday here yet, and she still has to go to class and so on.
So the two of them didn't run too far.
I just spent my free time in Britain and watched a football match.
Su Can doesn't know much about football without watching it, he just watches it for fun.
The two of them stayed together for half a month, during which time they were often photographed.
In Europe, there are actually quite a lot of compatriots in the country.
Not to mention those who work here or have immigrated here, the group of international students alone is not a small number.
Moreover, among these European countries, Britain is the most popular place for domestic students to go.
What surprised Su Can was that many people in Europe could recognize him when he walked on the street.
It's not surprising when you think about it. MSI was played in Europe last year. Su Can's final victory must have gained a lot of popularity.
That was also the first time Su Can appeared in the international arena.
Then last year's World Championship, the ratings in Europe were also not low.
To a certain extent, G2 sent away RNG and increased the number of people watching the game in Europe.
After watching that World Championship, many people became fans of Su Can.
There's nothing you can do about it, the operation is just too gorgeous.
If you want people in Europe to fall in love with you, you have to be very perverted.
Su Can just didn't expect that he would be so popular in Europe.
It’s gotten to the point where I’m being asked to take photos.
Fortunately, most of the fans here just say hello when they meet, and the more excited ones ask for a photo.
Su Can had never seen any more fanatical behavior.
Su Can was not comfortable during the past few days in Britain.
It was okay when we lived there. An Lan rented an apartment and the environment was pretty good.
It was the aspect of eating that was really hard for Su Can to accept.
It’s no joke that Britain is a food desert.
And the climate is not very good.
During the days when Su Can was here, it was wet every day.
It was okay for a few days, but Su Can felt uncomfortable after a long time, and she was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
On October 10th, Su Can will return to the team.
Leave London and go to Berlin to play with the team.
Several LPL teams came together today.
In this year's LPL, there is no need to participate in the qualifying rounds, so the three seeds can come together to prepare for the group stage.
The group stage will start on October 12th.
Compared with previous years, the World Championship time will be slightly later this year.
For Su Can, there was no difference, it was just a matter of staying a few more days.
"Both of them seem to be in good spirits. It seems like there is no need to force yourself to get over the jet lag."
When Su Can came to the hotel and saw his teammates, he started teasing them.
The team members seemed to be in good spirits, and they probably slept a lot on the plane.
The three newcomers Gala, Breathing and Guozige all seemed quite excited. It was obviously their first time playing abroad.
And it’s not a relatively close place like Korea, it’s Europe, so it’s normal to be excited.
In this year's World Championship, each team is only allowed to bring one substitute.
Compared with last year, it is much easier for EDG to bring support this year, unlike last year when they had to struggle a lot.
I had no choice but to give up on Ray.
In the situation last year, there was nothing wrong with not bringing Ray. After all, the top laner was too strong, and bringing him with him was of little use.
The best thing to do is to prevent the first-hand Su Can from suddenly disappearing and no one will play.
But think about it from another perspective, if he is not brought along, Su Can is the only top laner, so he should be more cautious.
Because if something goes wrong with him, the team will have no top laner.
It is the first time to participate in the World Championship. I believe that Su Can will pay more attention to it last year and cannot be as casual as in China.
The management had this idea at the time and felt a little confused just because Ray had been playing for nearly a year.
Last year in China, Su Can didn't play seriously in the regular season.
I have been working hard for a year, but as a result, I am not qualified to participate in the World Championship, which is a bit uncomfortable.
The management also did their best to comfort Ray.
This year, there is no need to worry.
After the director retired, Haro was the absolute main force in the jungle position and there was no rotation.
Other positions, except support, have more than one player.
Speaking of players, there are definitely more than last year.
But the choice was easy.
First of all, on the top lane, Ray has been playing in the spring split, but his performance is not very good, not even as good as last year.
After Breathing joined in the summer split, his performance got better and better, directly taking his position.
To put it bluntly, this is competition. If you can't compete with others, there's really nothing you can do about it.
After becoming a substitute, there was something wrong with Ray.
Mentally, I was not in a normal state, so I proposed that I want to go back to South Korea to see a doctor.
EDG has no intention of keeping him anyway. He is the only Korean in the team now, so leaving is a good thing.
After he leaves, EDG will be a legitimate All-China class.
Even the coach is Huazi, so this is really pure.
Bringing substitutes is the middle and bottom lane.
To be fair, IBoy is the champion AD AD. Although he only debuted the year before last and has not played for long in his career, he can be considered a veteran of the team.
What's more, there is a champion supporting me.
But Iboy's side is already in bad shape, and they haven't played a training match for a long time.
When the team didn't give him a training match, his reaction was not to work hard, improve his condition, and then go for the training match opportunity.
Once the training matches are completed, there will still be a chance to play.
Even if Gala's performance is okay for the time being, it's not that strong.
After all, he is just a rookie playing in the LPL in his first year. If he wants to compete, it is impossible for him to have no chance at all.
If you really talk about talent, IBoy is even better.
But after the training games, this guy simply failed, and he couldn't even see anyone else at the base every day.
This attitude is not surprising to anyone.
If he had a good attitude earlier, EDG would not have left the young champion AD AD alone and found a new AD AD, and they had spent millions in transfer fees to buy it.
If it hadn't been for Su Can's suggestion, the boss probably wouldn't have bothered to spend the money to hire a new employee.
And after the performance failed, Iboy took the initiative to find the management and expressed his desire to leave the team.
From IBoy's point of view, his strength is still there and he can play as if he were on another team.
Anyway, I have won all the championships, and my salary is not low now. There is no need to continue to waste money in EDG.
On a more relaxed team, he would have been able to play better.
It's a pity that at that stage, many teams that did not make the playoffs were on vacation.
The other teams that have made it to the playoffs show that they still have some strength.
It's impossible for people to forcefully change the lineup just for you.
Moreover, IBoy is under a contract and is not a free agent.
After EDG knew his thoughts, they also communicated with him.
The two parties have reached a consensus to send him out next year.
If you don’t plan to play on EDG anyway, why take him to the World Championship?
Take him to win another championship, and then charge more transfer fees next year?
Obviously that's not necessary.
No one likes people who show off, unless you have Su Can's almost invincible strength.
Then only the middle lane is left.
Of the two candidates in the middle, relatively speaking, Brother Guozi performed better than Daan.
Su Can didn't say a word about which substitute to bring.
Everything is decided by the management and the factory director.
Bringing Brother Guozi is good news for Su Can.
With a substitute in the middle, Su Can can paddle.
In the group stage and so on, I can rest more.
For this group, the competitiveness can only be said to be average.
Let Brother Guozi fight, EDG will not have no chance, and they can better train Brother Guozi.
This gave Brother Guozi plenty of opportunities to rub his skin.
If you can't even make it to the group stage, and you win the championship later, you won't be able to use your skin.
Originally, the new one from FPX in that time and space was. Originally, FPX was assigned to this group, and its strength was almost in the lead.
If you really play well, if you are determined to be in first place, there seems to be nothing wrong with playing the Vietnamese team or something and letting Shinichi come up and experience it.
The rules for skins in the S game are not that strict now, as long as you play in the game.
It's not like it's a little more complicated in the future. It's not enough to just get through the group stage. You have to play at least one small game in the knockout round.
The rules haven't been changed yet, which is good news for Su Can.
At the very least, if the team plays well, it doesn't matter if Su Can doesn't make it to the group stage.
When Su Can came over, the hotel rooms had already been allocated.
I still live in the same room as Haro, basically following the assignment at the base.
At this time, everyone met in the training room in the hotel.
Every team has this kind of temporary training room, which is actually a larger hotel room transformed.
The computer area inside seems a bit crowded with everyone in there.
Su Can and his teammates adjusted the equipment and other things.
After finishing it, Su Can knew that there would be no training match today.
It would be too perverted to play a training match just after settling in.
What Su Can didn't expect was that Gala was even more perverted than imagined.
After turning on the computer and adjusting all the peripherals, log in to the European server and start ranking.
Before coming, Riot provided professional players from each team with super accounts from the European server.
It's just that they are all new accounts, and they have to start from the qualifying round.
After the three LPL teams passed, many domestic OB anchors almost had something to do.
"Damn it, we're playing ranked now, you should take a rest at least."
Su Can went up and took a photo of Gala, saying that it would be dinner time soon and that everyone would go out for a walk in the evening and have a meal by the way.
Berlin is a place that Su Can and others who played MSI last year are familiar with.
MSI only played the finals in Paris, and the previous games were all in Berlin.
After the previous game in Berlin, everyone went out for a walk.
Su Can mainly wanted to eat. He remembered that the pork knuckle he had eaten here before was really good.
Occasionally when he was in China, Su Can could even think of it.
There are also many delicious pork knuckles in China. Su Can bought some roasted ones, some of which were unpleasant and some of which were delicious.
But no matter how delicious it is, it always feels like something is missing.
In addition, the days in London were really frustrating for Su Can. Most of the time, he cooked meals by himself in the apartment.
Now that I can change my taste, I feel very comfortable.
By the way, I can also take the three newcomers for a walk.
At noon the next day local time, everyone woke up.
Basically, this reminds me that for professional players, jet lag is not a big problem.
After lunch, EDG entered an intense training match.
There is only one day left until the group stage starts, so the training matches must be arranged as soon as possible.
It's been so long since the LPL finals, but EDG has only played a few training matches, so it's a bit of a no-brainer.
EDG's training matches are quite popular. After all, they have the aura of defending champions, and many teams want to come and have a date.
Except for the three teams in the same group, all other teams want to play against EDG.
EDG naturally had to choose. At the beginning, they chose a few stronger teams to try out.
For example, G2 and SKT.
The training match is still the same as before, Su Can will not be able to participate.
This time it was better than before. Su Can was half a bench watching from behind, so he could be considered involved.
But on the first day of training in Europe, the result was not good.
The overall winning rate is dismal.
The main reason is that Su Can didn't play, and the strong opponent is also part of the reason.
Teams like G2 and SKT are all top four teams in the World Championship.
There is also part of the reason why people like EDG feel that they are not in good condition.
Maybe it’s been too long since I’ve played a game, or maybe I’m a newbie and haven’t adjusted well yet.
But there is not much time left for everyone. The group stage will begin on the 12th.
EDG is a little better, and the first game won't be on the 13th.
In the first game, we faced the champion JT team from Wanwan.
That is Jay Chou's team.
The predecessor, Assassin Star, was the world champion of S2.
The current strength of this team is still good, and FOFO is the absolute core of the team.
After this year's World Championship, there will basically be LPL teams competing for it.
If I remember correctly, FPX overturned in the first game at that time.
If he really was a loser, he wouldn't be able to beat a team like FPX.
The characteristic of the rookie team is that even if you give him a chance, he won't be able to grasp it.
As for the current status of the last EDG, it’s really hard to say.
Despite this appearance, Su Can still didn't go.
Continue to let them go up and exercise.
Unless the crotch is stretched to the point where he cannot qualify for the group stage, Su Can will not play.
On the day of the game, there were many spectators.
EDG is a very popular team, and many people come to them.
There are even many European fans among them.
The game list came out the night before, but many viewers didn't watch it.
When I came to the scene and looked at the list, I found that Su Can was not playing, and I was immediately numb.
Especially some fans in China are joking: "Geneva, EDG will refund your money!"
As a result, the European fans copied it and all of them started shouting along.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit uncontrollable!
