"The God of Death...is coming..."
After seeing the last piece of news, Rogue fans felt like a bolt from the blue. They wished they could fall to the ground, vomit blood and die.
Who is the God of Death?
It's none other than LGD's captain "Hirano Aya"!
His title: Not a sauce, not a saint, nor an emperor, but the only "god" player currently in the LPL!
It is the best in ancient and modern times, who else can it be?
Is Hirano Aya strong?
Of course it's strong!
When talking about the first half of PYL’s career, we have to start with a team called Japanese CLC. Nowadays, few people know about the existence of this team.
But as early as the distant memory period of LOL, this team already existed in League of Legends.
At that time, the team's main configuration was quite large now. Current LGD coach Bai Yueya, former world runner-up hite55kai, and PYL are all members of the team.
In those distant ancient times, the newly arrived PYL showed his talent very early, and once helped the team achieve the runner-up result in IPL5 China.
Unfortunately, in the final, they lost 1:2 to E, who would later win the IPL5 global championship and then dominate the domestic LOL for nearly a year!
After losing the finals that year, the CLC team failed to accompany PYL to the end.
Due to the lack of a sponsor, financial difficulties and a host of other things, the team was disbanded.
In confusion and weighing, PYL finally moved towards a new hope - the LGD team.
At that time, the LGD-DOTA branch was very successful in the country, and their years of experience were enough to make them a domestic giant.
In late 2012, when PYL entered this newly established LOL division, they quickly established a firm foothold with their extraordinary experience and took the seats of captain and conductor, which continues to this day.
But that doesn't mean he skyrocketed.
The period from 2012 to 2014 was a kind of training for PYL, but it was more of a torture.
This situation is similar to that of Greedy Sa where Su Chen was originally.
Due to the club's lack of attention and the players' lack of serious attitude, the team has been in a state of neither advancement nor inferiority.
A year of almost no results has softened his temper. During the period from the establishment of the team to the league stage, LGD almost never stopped making substitutions.
But through constant attempts and progress, LGD finally burst out with fierce sparks. It was in the TGA Grand Prix at the end of 2013 that they welcomed adp and the famous top laner A and Princess.
During the run-in, although LGD's league record was relatively mediocre, when the playoffs came, they finally showed their best fangs!
PYL finally awakened and broke out in the playoffs!
His exquisite vision arrangement and roaming tactics combined with the jungler directly defeated OMG, known as the strongest all-China class in history, to pieces.
Amid the exclamations, LGD struggled forward and passed all the way to the final stage, facing the EDG team that had won the Demacia Cup with a complete domestic victory at the time.
Under great pressure,
As the captain, PYL showed unprecedented strength, single-handedly dragging the score to a 2:2 tie, and in the key game, using vision tactics to suppress EDG!
Seeing that victory is within reach,
Ankai has arrived...
Turning the tide before it fell, and supporting the building from collapse, factory director Reksai angrily grabbed the Baron. In the key team battle, he defied the odds and defeated Godfather and won the final spring championship!
After the game,
PYL sat dumbly on the chair and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It seems to be just like the match against OMG in last year's qualifiers, ridiculous and helpless.
But I can't give up...
turn grief and anger into
As fuel for hard work, only by continuing to persevere can we finally see the light.
And in this battle,
PYL's hero pool is as generous as the sea, astonishing vision layout and roaming command ability. It has won the reputation of China's number one support player and has become the most watched support player in one fell swoop.
But this also caused many players to express dissatisfaction.
Of course it's easy to assist IMP, I can do it too!
exactly,
PYL in the summer split was temporarily unable to play on the court due to corrective surgery on his chin.
After missing PYL for the first time since the team was founded, LGD's performance surprised everyone.
In the first round, when facing QG, which was composed of good brothers "Doinb" and "Sift",
LGD was beaten to a pulp, and their 0:2 record was hard for fans to accept.
LGD, which has lost PYL, seems to have no soul. All kinds of weird positions and inexplicable tactics emerge one after another. This is also the inevitable result of the team's losing streak.
Continuous confusion caused LGD's ranking to decline rapidly, even reaching the edge of being dropped.
Fortunately, PYL returned in time and saved the team from the fire.
After being encouraged by his teammates, Wei Shen gave up his beloved Tiandao and concentrated on training.
The second round of competition begins,
LGD once again made the audience feel that the dark horse team of the spring split is back.
Whenever there is a crisis, the reappearance of PYL Bader always makes the LPL teams feel fear.
LGD climbed up rapidly from ninth place. By the end of the regular season, LGD was actually in fifth place!
But after reaching the playoffs,
The changes to the fake competition system have given LGD the most difficult schedule in the playoffs. Although he easily defeated the powerful enemy Snake,
But only in the semi-finals,
They have already met EDG, which has won 18 consecutive games in China.
This is a matchup that no one is optimistic about LGD.
After EDG was crowned the MSI world champion, they set a record of 18 consecutive wins in the regular season and have become a new generation legend in China.
But I never expected that,
PYL once again allowed the audience to see the limits of support. His unique Bard assistance and adaptable command ability perfectly suppressed his opponent Meiko!
Everyone in this battle was convinced, allowing him to successfully become a "god" and become the number one support player in China!
At this moment, he is the real God of Death, a powerful enemy that no team wants to encounter.
In the finals, facing QG who had been defeated by them, LGD was still confident.
Under the command of PYL, even if they were dragged into the 2:2 decider, the faces of the players were still relaxed and calm.
Finally, in the four kills of Godv vampires, PYL won a national championship in his life. After four years, he finally did it!
If... the ending of the story ended here, it would undoubtedly be for the best.
Rogue fans won't be devastated either.
However, since the defeat in S5, Pyl's competitive status has declined very quickly. The once sacred cow that protects the country has become a welfare cow. He is caught and killed in various ways within seconds.
In the death data officially announced by the LPL, Pyl ranked first with 1,511 times, 255 times ahead of the second-place Holy Gun. His title of Death has a double meaning.
This time, he became his own death.
"A coach who doesn't know how to manage, a little-known rookie top laner, and an old-fashioned support, is this R's enhanced signing?"
"I think it's this club. It's so easy to see Su Shen can take the team to the finals in the spring split. It has to take on more responsibility."
"Made, I can't stand it anymore, my brothers broke this official blog!
"
Angry fans attacked their own water springs.
And these news,
Su Chen already knew it the day before.
It was late at night,
After taking a shower, Su Chen supported her stiff lower back with both hands and lay on the bed ready to enjoy a sweet dream. However, she received a notification from the club on her phone.
"Coach Hongmi?!"
When he saw the first news, Su Chen immediately sat up cross-legged in excitement, his sleepiness completely gone, and he quickly typed to ask the club how it was done.
He remembers,
At the beginning of the season, when my team went to recruit Hongmi, the other team made it clear that they wanted to return to China to rest and take care of their pregnant wife.
Su Chen had no hope, but he didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
"There is no other way but to add money."
R's manager replied with a smile: "You have to make money for your children's milk powder. In order for Hongmi coach to join smoothly, we gave him a salary that is among the top coaches in the country."
"It's not a loss, Coach Hongmi is worth the price!"
Su Chen replied seriously.
If there is any S7 team, the one that left the deepest memory in his memory is E.
The re-emergence of E is absolutely inseparable from the efforts of Hongmi.
To know,
In the S6 season, E even lost in the confrontation with IM and lost the qualification to be the third seed.
The problem within the team is very big. They rely solely on talent to play the game, without operations and clear command. In the middle and late stages, they can only rely on Kangdi to grab the dragon and come back.
But after joining S7,
E's changes are obvious to all. They are so powerful that they directly won the Spring Split and represented the LPL in the MSI Mid-Season Invitational.
In private, Su Chen heard Xiye and Leg Brother praise Hongmi's strength more than once.
But what he remembers most vividly is
It was last year’s Intercontinental Championship.
Known as "the most united battle in LPL history", all teams communicated with each other and used their own bottom-up tactics to communicate with each other.
But what the audience and fans don’t know is that
The person who originally proposed this decision was "Red Rice"!
It was he who suggested that the four teams join forces to jointly study the fight against the LCK, and took the initiative to share E's tactical system.
This is what Su Chen admires most.
Before he became a professional player, one of the reasons why he liked the all-China class was that he particularly hated the Korean players' behavior of serving the country with loyalty as soon as they entered the World Championship.
Coach Hongmi changed his impression.
"Not enough, Coach Hongmi has a condition..."
Manager R on the other end said with hesitation in his voice, "Only if he agrees to this, will he be willing to formally sign the contract."
"Brother Wang, tell me."
Su Chen straightened his expression, put the phone to his ear, and listened.
"Coach Hongmi said he wants absolute power!"
Manager Wang said in a low voice: "Everyone in the team must obey his instructions and all of you must obey his arrangements without any rejection or protest."
[In view of the general environment,
Towards the end, his voice became weaker and weaker.
It is normal for a coach to want power in the LCK.
Available in LPL,
Due to the uneven level of coaches, coupled with the popularity of star players who sometimes develop distinctive personalities, the status of coaches can be said to be very low.
"Absolute power..."
Su Chen couldn't help but frown,
He is willing to follow the coach’s correct arrangements,
But absolute obedience was a bit hard for Su Chen to accept.
Do I have to listen to you even if you say something wrong?
The NB of S7, he can be said to be the one who single-handedly directed the BP and led the team to win the championship!
Can…
Su Chen thought again about what he had faced since the fifth class.
The pressure on BP is increasing, the opponents are getting stronger, and he is somewhat unable to do what he wants.
In addition, Xiye admires red rice.
Su Chen gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Brother Wang, I accept Coach Hongmi's request!"
"Su Shen, where is Brother Ma and the coins..."
Manager Wang wants Su Chen to act as a lobbyist.
R has more than one star player.
"Well, Brother Ma and Gugu are there. I'll go communicate with them."
Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Brother Wang, if there is nothing else, I will go to bed first?"
"Uh... I... actually there are two more things I want to tell you."
Manager Wang was on the other end of the phone, clenching his hands in embarrassment.
"What's up?"
Su Chen leaned on the pillow and asked casually.
"In the summer split, we also signed a top laner and an assistant. The top laner is your friend, the same person you went to watch the game in the A-League last time. His name is Chen Chen, and the assistant is Hirano Aya."
Manager Wang just finished speaking.
"Brother Wang!"
Su Chen's eyes widened and he straightened up abruptly. His expression changed one after another, making him look very ugly.
During the offseason, he had clearly expressed his determination to the management that he did not want anyone on the team to leave.
But the scene now,
"It wasn't us, it wasn't us."
Manager Wang turned pale with fright and quickly coaxed: "It's Mouse. He took the initiative to apply to us during the offseason and needed a substitute top laner. Breathe was also recommended by him.
As for Hirano Aya, he took the initiative to apply for a basic salary. I thought about it. Although his strength has declined seriously, he has rich experience. Even if he is coaching Killua on the bench, it is a very good value for money, so I signed him over. . "
Manager Wang held the phone and said cautiously: "Su Shen, if you really don't like it, I can terminate the contract with them. Anyway, the contract will be officially signed tomorrow."
As the sole core of the team, Su Chen's happiness is the top priority they need to pay attention to.
Hearing this,
Su Chen was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "No, Brother Wang, let's do this for now.
Breathe has great potential, and Pingtai was once the number one support player in the country. His willingness to join our R team is definitely a reinforcement. "
He could understand what A Guang was thinking,
Just like S7, "V" took the initiative to leave the team and was replaced by Koro1.
It's just that I want them to go further and I don't want to drag down the team.
The original intentions and ideas are good.
Su Chen really didn't have the qualifications to be angry with his teammates.
The only thing he can do is
Just lead them to win the "championship"!

(: Rather than blindly focus on the competition, I want to dig more into the stories behind the players and coaches, including some of the deeds of Hongmi coach, which are very interesting and will be shown later in the article.)
