…
It was that familiar restaurant that was specially reserved by the officials to celebrate the players and employees together. It was a memorable moment for lpl to break through the top eight curse.
Just comparing to last week,
The lack of a team is still a bit regrettable.
On the day we lost to Samsung, all members of WE were shameless in front of everyone, got on the late-night flight, and left each other.
Especially today,
In front of the computer, I watched nb defeat Longzhu and join hands with rng to reach the semi-finals.
They had mixed feelings in their hearts and secretly vowed to come back next year!
But is this so easy to say?
For many players, entering a world championship is an elusive goal that they have spent their entire careers.
…
inside the restaurant,
The atmosphere was still joyful. From the staff to the coaches, everyone was smiling and enjoying themselves.
rng and nb are the purest all-China classes. The coaches are Chinese and the players are also Chinese. This is undoubtedly the most exciting thing for all domestic players!
The LPL is a business alliance, but rising to the level of nationality is a joke. Isn't the NBA also from all over the world?
In the past, this was what they used to deceive themselves and comfort themselves.
If we really want a purely commercial alliance, why do we need foreign aid even if we don’t see lck?
It’s just a fact: skills are inferior to people!
But today,
There are two pure Chinese students in the semi-finals, one of them even eliminated the No. 1 seed of LC K. Who will dare to say that the All-China class is not good in the future? !
Smash their faces with the facts!
"It's cool!
"
I don’t know how many players or students are enjoying barbecue and beer tonight, blowing the comfortable evening breeze, and having fun with their roommates, reminiscing about today’s game.
although,
The next stop is—Magic City
But regarding the ticket sales date for the finals at the Bird's Nest, there is already pre-sale.
From the perspective of players,
Whether it's rng or nb, the current state is so good that you can reach the finals without asking, but it's okay to join a team, right?
then,
The second the tickets appeared on the official interface, the interface was instantly overwhelmed by the huge flow of people and showed signs of lag.
"Made, why are the tickets gone?!"
"Damn it, you are all just idiots! You snatched it so fast!
"
"I can't stand it. Does anyone have a ticket? I'll buy it at a high price!"
There are many posts about players complaining and asking for high-priced votes in various large and small clubs in League of Legends.
The price of the official first-sale ticket is generally acceptable.
The selling prices are respectively 1280, 880, 480, 380 and 280.
1280 and 880 are infield tickets, and the others are grandstand tickets.
Some student parties don't ask for anything else, and it's okay to just bite the bullet and buy a 280 or 380.
However,
They underestimated the shamelessness of scalpers.
After purchasing most of the tickets through special channels.
The original ticket price of 280, which was the lowest, nearly tripled to 800, which instantly caused countless people to criticize.
"Wonima, grab the money!"
"Scalper, I'll wipe your uncle!"
"
"Brothers, do you want to buy it?"
"Whoever buys it will make a mistake. At worst, just use a computer to read it. You won't be able to kill these idiots!"
"Plus one plus one..."
There is a harmonious scene in the Tieba. Everyone shares the same hatred and resolutely resists scalpers.
"Brother, eight hundred is eight hundred, I want it..."
And there are always little bitches who follow the trend, but secretly find scalpers to buy tickets.
However,
"Sorry, almost all the 800 tickets have been bought, and now the price has been increased to 1,000."
"You're playing dirty tricks with me, right?"
Some people who got tickets in advance laughed and said nothing. While you are still typing, I have already taken action.
along with,
The semi-finals are getting closer and closer, and the popularity of lpl remains high. The media, including public accounts, began to promote it frantically, and even an infield ticket was bought by someone for 10,000.
To this day,
League of Legends has become the most influential competition in China!
Even the value of the players has doubled during this period, and some big sponsors have invested heavily just to have their own product logos printed on the team uniforms.
"Fitting an advertisement? No! It can only take half a day at most."
"I know the club's primary goal is to make money, but if it affects the players' condition and leads to them being eliminated in the semi-finals, then it's really a small gain but a big loss!"
"Supervisor Yuzhe, you can't be stupid at this time!"
Outside the training room, Chris said earnestly.
"Hey, hey, coach Chris, who do you think I am?"
Yuzhe raised his hands and complained, "I was once a professional player, can you not understand?
But this is what the boss asked for, and I can't do anything about it. After all, the real money is there, and no fool would want it. "
"However, the pressure from the boss is only half a day. I can withstand it for the time being. If the team can enter the finals, we will be proud."
"Don't worry, I guarantee there will be no problem."
Chris was overjoyed and waved goodbye.
After watching Yuzhe leave,
Chris then turned around, opened the door, and re-entered the training room.
"Coach, what are you and Supervisor Yuzhe talking about?"
The battle was not fierce, so Su Chen turned around and asked curiously.
"What else could it be? It's just for filming an advertisement."
Chris walked to the water dispenser, took out the paper cup, and said proudly as he filled the water: "But it's not a big problem. I've already pushed it back. You can only use it for half a day at most."
"The coach is powerful and domineering."
Su Chen took advantage of the situation and shot a rainbow fart.
There is no solution for filming commercials. Not only them, but even the Korean team is not immune.
The most famous ones, skt and rng, have become the targets of advertisers.
In addition to training, shooting commercials almost never stops.
"horrible…"
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It's a good thing our team is not a strong old team, otherwise we would be exhausted just shooting commercials."
"No, the only two teams among the top four that can have some time off are you and Samsung."
As the warm water poured in, Chris crumpled the paper cup into a ball and threw it into the trash can, "I have a big business, so it's okay if I don't shoot commercials, but you are a team that has just entered the World Championship, and almost no one believes that you can win the championship. .”
"So in order to maximize profits, those advertisers are looking for the two teams rng and skt."
"Hey, who are you looking down on?"
Hearing this, Lin Weixiang patted the mouse and said unhappily: "We have to win the championship and shock their eyes!"
"Good ambition, I like it."
Next to him, Wuzhu smiled and flashed his thumb, "Train well, we will rely on you in the semi-finals."
"Brother Tai, without you roaming around, our bottom lane won't be of much use."
Lin Weixiang replied in embarrassment.
“How the hell do you know how to play games!
I xxx!
"
While everyone was chatting happily, they suddenly heard an extremely harsh curse.
"A bunch of bad guys, let me play with you!"
After losing the game again, Liu Qingsong was so angry that he wanted to smash his computer.
"calm down."
Chris quickly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Coach, you can't play in this Korean server at all! When people see our IDs, they just act, and why are we still playing tricks?"
Liu Qingsong's anger remained, his chest heaving up and down.
"This symptom is indeed present. In the games we matched, the proportion of kills and AFKs increased."
koro1 also echoed at this time.
"I told you to fight in the national uniform but you didn't listen. Now you're being fooled, right?"
Su Chen raised his chin, looking slightly satisfied.
Now he is the only one in the team who can maintain a high-quality game.
Although the overall strength of the Chinese server is not as good as that of the Korean server, once you reach the top 20 or top 10, the quality of the game will not make much difference.
on the contrary,
People like Liu Qingsong and others have generally played in the Korean server throughout the season, and now there is no way to switch to the Chinese server to increase points.
As for why you didn’t make a date with your opponent in the training match?
Generally speaking, if a team reaches the top 4, no team will compete with you in training matches.
To put it bluntly,
Everyone is an opponent. Even when training with you, they will definitely not try their best. Instead, they will try to steal your system.
In this way,
There is no training value, everyone can only rely on ranking to maintain the level.
"Oh, I don't have any good solution for this."
Chris sighed and said distressedly: "RNG is practicing the new system alone, and it is not convenient to expose its tactics. As for SKT and SSG, there is no value in forcing them to play training matches.
You also know that these guys like to paddle in training games and let the coaches behind them study your playing routes, so be vigilant! "
】
"Then we can only play ranked?"
Liu Qingsong held his forehead in pain, "I'm afraid if I continue to fight, my heart and brain blood vessels will be exploded."
In this situation,
Not to mention maintaining the state, it is considered good if it does not decline!
"This is indeed a difficult problem..."
Su Chen also realized the seriousness of the problem.
He can maintain his own condition, but the condition of his teammates around him has declined, and he alone is unable to recover!
"How about you use your own connections and borrow a high-end account in the national server?"
When he said this, Chris felt his face blush a little.
It’s really embarrassing to be thrown into grandma’s house.
RNG, SKT and even Samsung all have players from their second teams for sparring. The quality of the games is even much better than the high-end games in Korean servers.
But let alone the second team of their club, the first team was just promoted this year, so there are no substitute players to help with training.
"Borrowing number?"
The corners of Liu Qingsong's mouth twitched, and he could only accept that this was not a solution.
But the hope of borrowing it is very slim even if you don't think about it.
Players who can be active in the high-end game of the national server are either anchors who rely on high-segment live broadcasts, or passers-by or youth training players who plan to enter the profession.
Even if you are crazy, you will not lend your precious account to others for free.
But things have come to this, and I can only give it a try.
Su Chen also took the phone and planned to see if he could borrow some accounts for his teammates.
However, when he just opened his account, he saw many pop-up messages, and he couldn't help but be startled.
…
——Magic City
In a people's hospital,
"Doctor, are you sure everything is fine?"
"I'm recovering well. As long as I don't carry heavy objects with my left hand to prevent recurrence of the injury, it's basically nothing serious."
"Luckily you guys came to the hospital early, otherwise I wouldn't have been so lucky if it had been any later."
"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor."
Su Xiaoluo politely exited the room, and at a glance he found theshy sitting on the chair, looking longingly at him.
"Cheng Lu, don't worry, it's fine. You can train normally when you go back."
Su Xiaoluo spoke relatively fluent Korean and explained the general meaning of the doctor.
"Thanks to my brother's help, otherwise I might really be a useless person."
Looking at the long scar on his right arm, theshy couldn't help but feel happy and grateful.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Su Xiaoluo smiled and waved his hand.
"Uh...I'm talking about Brother Xinhuo..."
"..."
Su Xiaoluo's smile froze.
Fortunately, Xiao Chenglu's emotional intelligence was finally online. He quickly stood up and half-bowed, saying: "Of course, I have taken good care of me during this period, Kang Sang Hamida."
"Goodbye, goodbye. After all, I am partly responsible for your hand injury. Just don't blame me."
Lifting the person up with both hands, Su Xiaoluo sighed: "In the final analysis, Su Chen is the real life-saving grace to you."
"But Manager Luo, I added a lot of vx from Brother Tianxin Huo, but he didn't even agree."
Cheng Lu was a little worried, "Did you not see it, or are you tired of my harassment?"
"Look at what you said, can harassment also be used indiscriminately?"
Su Xiaoluo laughed and said, "It's probably because Su Chen is going to compete in the World Championships, so he won't be paying attention to it on his phone."
"World Championship?"
Cheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be like this.
Waiting for the bus back to the base.
Cheng Lu, who had not trained for more than a month, couldn't wait to walk into the training room, wanting to train hard.
Since this year's World Championship is held in China, it is supported by popular public opinion.
Including the outstanding performance of rng and nb, it can give a lot of excitement to professional players.
Who can bear it when they, as competitors in the same arena, can only watch while others are dazzling in the World Championships?
Rooike didn't even return to Korea this year and lived directly at the base.
Erasing the shame of S5 has become his deep obsession, and he can be found in the training room almost from morning to night.
With this desperate attitude, the whole team has been infected unknowingly.
He once told the management: "Even if you don't pay me, you only need to give me one chance to play." Ning Wang was the first to respond to the call and voluntarily joined the training army.
While Prince Ning stayed, as a good friend, Bao Lan, who was equally diligent in training, would not leave either.
The only two players who did not choose to practice more were one of them, a kid. He was basically just dawdling and was in the mood to retire, so it was impossible for him to stay at the base and practice more.
And the other one is West 西皇,
Because of his poor performance in the playoffs and achieving the rooike achievement, he didn't have the shame to stay at the base and practice extra time with his teammates.
One jungler left, but there was a substitute jungler.
If a shooter is gone, is there a substitute shooter?
"Creak" sound,
The door to the training room was gently pushed open. Cheng Lu entered the room. Looking at the backs of his teammates who were concentrating on training, he closed the door carefully, fearing that it would affect his teammates' training.
"Pap~"
The door is closed,
"Hey, Brother Jiang, are you back?"
A young voice with a carefree tone came from behind him.
Follow the sound and look,
I saw a young man wearing a white T-shirt with short sleeves and a delicate face. He raised his thin chin slightly and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised. He looked a bit like an evil Shiba Inu.
Overall, he is still a youthful young man.
The only shortcoming is that the head is too big, which makes it slightly joyful, but makes people feel more friendly.
Cheng Lu smiled sheepishly, raised his hand and waved, speaking in half-baked Chinese:
"Jie Kuo~ Wo is back..."
