On the evening of December 28th, at the end of the transfer window, edg officially announced the new season lineup.
After many days of deliberation, fans were already prepared, but when they actually saw the name of mid laner Mika appearing side by side with Pwan, online public opinion was still in an uproar.
All the players in the edg base are busy ranking, and the atmosphere is inexplicably depressed. This is obviously affected by the defeat in the S game and the official blog being hacked. They are all determined to prove themselves in the spring split.
And Mixia, who has just joined the new team, works harder than everyone else in the team!
She studies Chinese during the day and plays ranked and training matches at night. She spends 24 hours a day with almost no rest except for sleeping.
"Mika, you are working too hard. There is no need to work so hard to learn Chinese. Take your time and master the simplest game communication language first." Even Ming Kai, who once ranked fifty games a day, couldn't help but remind him.
"It doesn't matter, I can hold on!" Mixia waved her hands to show her persistence.
I really insist on learning Chinese.
It was really shameful for Mixia to start learning Pinyin, but even if she showed great talent in language learning, since she chose to hide her Chinese ability, she still had to go through the basic knowledge.
As for being tired.
Not at all. With the new translator accompanying me, the mental humiliation experience seems to be nothing.
Cutting off the time for studying Chinese, the amount of game training every day is even lower than when she was at home in Tokyo.
However, with her current gaming talent gifted by God, even if she trains more, her improvement in gaming level will be limited.
If she wants to improve edg's strength and help them win the S6 World Championship, what she needs to consider is not mindless ranking exercises, but systematic planning to change edg's team temperament and game style this year.
Therefore, learning Chinese seems to be unnecessary.
But it's part of the plan.
"Brother deft! Well, did you also work so hard to learn Chinese?" She compared the pinyin and sent a soul torture to deft in Chinese.
"Ah... I don't understand Smecta." deft's face darkened.
He has been joining edg for more than half a year, and his Chinese is still half-baked. Although, as Ming Kai said, these Korean players did not come to China to study. They know a few common terms and it is enough for playing games. However, the quality of their Chinese skills often varies.
It intuitively represents the player's recognition of the lpl division. Nowadays, there are many foreign players in the lpl, and he may be the least popular player.
"Ah, what are you talking about deft-san?" Mixia glanced at the translator.
"Deft-san claims that he's not very good at Chinese," the translator said in a flattering tone.
deft has long been aware of his Chinese proficiency.
But I was tortured like this in Chinese by Sakura girl who just came to edg.
It is also difficult for him to lose face.
Will he be despised by mika?
You don’t want to be looked down upon by your lovely juniors!
And I think of the scene where meiko died tragically in the mid lane due to poor communication in the training match a few days ago. I also think about the fact that I will have to play with a mid laner like mika who rarely supports me in the future. If I can't understand the opponent's Japanese, I'm afraid.
It’s even difficult to call for support…
Of course, deft, which has not suffered yet, is feeling lucky.
Maybe she just wanted to learn Chinese for a while and would give up after a few days. And when mika learned the common words used in the game, communication in the game would not be so difficult, just like himself back then.
But deft doesn't know that.
Meixia is preparing to teach him a bloody lesson in the competition.
…
In addition to hiding her language skills, Meixia also has reservations about her hero pool. With her current operational capabilities, there is basically no chance that the traditional mage mid laner will be unable to learn as long as she is willing to practice hard.
But in her communication with the coach, she only listed the assassin heroes she was good at and a few mages.
When more than a dozen heroes are lined up, no one can tell that she is a hero. But the seemingly full hero pool is like padded breasts. It looks very beautiful, but once you encounter a tough mage player, you will press it down.
If it collapses, it will be difficult to do BP.
Abu got the hero pool list and was a little dumbfounded, "There are still about ten days before the Spring Split. How many cards, Lulu, and Czar can be trained?"
Meixia shook her head.
"Okay, practice slowly, don't rush..." The lineup has been officially announced. Meixia has continued to perform well in the few training games she has played these days. In addition, she does have one or two traditional mages in her hero pool, which makes Abu
After being surprised, I could only accept it rationally, "It's just, how could such a strange hero pool exist?"
In particular, it is really surprising that this hero pool with a knife tip that licks blood actually appears on a sweet-looking cute girl like Mika.
Abu scratched his head and thought hard about edg's BP approach in the future, and at the same time gave a deadline, "At least, before the knockout rounds of the spring competition, train the mage mid laner of this club for me."
Mixia bowed and said, "I will work hard!"
Finally passed the test with Coach Abu!
Compared with hiding the Chinese level, it is actually more difficult to manipulate the hero pool.
She is just a new player. If Abu is cruel and cruel and orders her to train Lulu in three days, Mika will have no choice but to obey.
It’s not that I’m obsessed with hero selection.
After all, the game is a game. You can't play according to your own temper like a passer-by game, otherwise you will be irresponsible to the team.
But if she wants to change Edg's style, she can't intervene directly like a coach. All she can do is start from herself and rely on her strong personal game style to influence her teammates on the court.
Forcibly choosing assassins to disrupt edg's half-baked operational rhythm was a feasible approach after she decided to use edg as her first choice team.
But does this really work?
Maybe deft is surprisingly good at language learning.
Perhaps even if he wins the game, Abramovich will still insist on Korean-style operations.
Maybe edg is simply hopeless.
Before Mixia was reborn, she was just an ordinary person. She didn't know how much change she could bring to this EDG team. As the LPL Spring Split got closer, her inner anxiety continued to increase.
Just like that, the time came to 2016.
The Spring Festival in Tokyo falls on New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar.
On this important festival, it was the first time that Mixia's body had spent it far away from Tokyo. She thought that as a soul traveler, she wouldn't have too many sentiments.
But I looked at the photo of my sister Risa wearing a kimono praying at the temple on the homepage, and the blessings she sent.
She still wavered involuntarily.
Is her reason for coming to lpl really that sufficient? The commercial league that extends from games is, in the final analysis, just a part of modern entertainment. Her wishful thinking to save edg is actually just a selfish fireworks show.
"I heard from the Internet that your Spring Festival is on New Year's Day?" Meiko said in unskilled Japanese, "mika, Happy Chinese New Year in Japan!"
This guy really learned Japanese!
Meixia smiled and nodded.
"Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!"
Yes, even if she abandons the grand proposition of saving LPL's desperate audience in the dark age, at least helping LPL win the championship, just like many festivals, being caught up in it already makes her happy.
