Chapter 96 S7, here we come! (Please vote for me)
On May 24, 2017, after a 20-hour flight in the air, Mingrui and the entire G2 team finally landed safely at the airport.
Before even waiting for the plane to stop taxiing, Mingrui couldn't wait to turn on his mobile phone and quickly logged into the bib. He wanted to see if LPL had heard the voices of the masses in the past day and made a difference!
Then, I got good news and bad news.
The good news is that the LPL officials did not resist the influence of public opinion, responded to his request, and punished the RNG team and WE team in accordance with relevant regulations, especially for the RNG team, they offered a sky-high price.
Ticket!
But the bad news is that the LPL official issued a penalty statement at noon yesterday, but until now, more than ten hours have passed, and the official RNG team has not issued any apology statement!
Not only the RNG team chose to play dead, but also the WE team also chose to play dead. Even under the official scarves of the two teams, there were constant "friendly forces" asking them to apologize immediately, and the two of them did not say a word. They were completely the same.
A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
As a result, Mingrui understood the meaning of these two teams.
They can accept a fine, but an apology is absolutely impossible!
"Haha, e-sports Guo Xiaosi, right? He only accepts punishment but refuses to apologize?"
"Do you really think you are a gentleman and start pretending to be a white lotus?"
"Since you refuse to apologize, I will scold you every day to see if you apologize or not!"
Mingrui gritted his teeth and said, a burst of evil fire suddenly surged into his heart.
Because he doesn't need any fine at all. After all, their fine will not come to him in the end. He only needs an apology, an official, formal apology for maliciously slandering himself for match-fixing!
Otherwise, Mingrui will never be able to swallow this bad breath for the rest of his life!
So, Mingrui, who was stuck in his throat, published a new scarf again.
"@G2.Dark: Although the LPL officially punished the two teams, what I want to say is that delayed justice is not real justice, it is just a result!"
"Furthermore, only half a day after I released the scarf, the LPL official quickly issued a punishment statement. What does it mean? It means that you already know what shameful things these two garbage teams have done before, but you guys
Always covering, always shielding!"
"It wasn't until yesterday when I saw how fierce the public opinion was that I knew I couldn't contain it anymore, so I issued this punishment statement that should have been issued more than two months ago!"
"And even if I'm punished, you LPL officials still haven't made an official statement that I didn't participate in the fake match!"
"What do you mean? Do you want to continue to let those garbage LPL viewers continue to spread rumors that I actually faked the match but there is no evidence?"
"And the official punishment statement has been issued for so long, and those two garbage teams still haven't apologized!"
"Doesn't it mean that a fine is compulsory, but an apology is not compulsory?"
"Can you LPL officials make a difference?!"
Mingrui cursed loudly and said that he had never opened fire on LPL officials before because he mistakenly believed that the entire incident had nothing to do with the LPL team itself.
But now it seems that if the LPL officials were not "supporting" behind them, how could these garbage teams dare to do such evil?!
Sure enough, this is the so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!
After editing this scarf, Mingrui gritted his teeth and sent it again.
I took a look at the time and saw that the phone still displayed Samba time, which was ten o'clock in the evening. When converted to Chinese time, it was nine o'clock in the morning. Therefore, after this scarf is released, the LPL official will definitely be able to see it soon.
.
But unfortunately, Mingrui has no way to "wait online" at this time.
Because as the newly promoted MSI champion, the moment they walked out of the exit, the entire G2 team ushered in a grand championship welcome ceremony organized by the fans of the G2 team!
"Champion! Champion! Champion!"
"G2!G2!G2!"
"Dark!Dark!Dark!"
Although it is 3 a.m. Berlin time at this moment, countless enthusiastic G2 fans still gather here, using their most enthusiastic and excited cheers and applause to welcome the triumphant return of the MSI champion!
Especially as the "savior" of the G2 team and the winner of FMVP, Dark received the most enthusiastic respect and worship from fans during this welcome ceremony!
The sound of "Dark" and the smiling faces really moved Dark to the point of wanting to cry.
Because he has always believed that as a "villain", there is a high probability that he will not gain any fans.
Even if there are, there are unlikely to be sincere fans, they can only be negative fans of other teams or players.
But now, seeing this scene in front of him, Mingrui suddenly understood that he still has true fans, at least the fans of the G2 team are all his true fans!
Since there are real fans, why does he need to care about the fake fans of LPL?
It is enough to have these G2 fans in front of me who really like me!
"thanks, thanks."
"Thank you for your willingness to come to the airport to pick me up in the middle of the night."
"Don't worry, this summer split, I will definitely lead the G2 team to win the summer split championship again."
"At the same time, I also promise you that in this S7 World Championship, I will definitely work with the G2 team to bring you the first world championship trophy belonging to G2!"
Mingrui shook hands with the fans, agreed to their conditions for autographs and photos, and solemnly promised them.
Although he walked slowly and was a little tired, his face was full of joy and happiness.
Because to be honest, it’s great to have the feeling of being a fan!
…
After leaving the airport, all G2 members got on the bus back to the G2 base.
Although it was late at night, everyone in G2 was still laughing and sharing the interesting things that happened when they interacted with fans, and looking forward to the upcoming summer split.
While chatting with them, Mingrui turned on his mobile phone scarf again, and then as expected, he saw another official statement from the LPL.
"Haha, now LPL's recovery efficiency is maxed out? So what do you usually do when you're pretending to be dead?"
Mingrui sneered, and then checked the relevant statement of LPL.
This time, the content of the LPL statement is very simple and divided into two paragraphs.
The first paragraph officially states that G2.Dark players have not participated in any match-fixing activities while working in LSPL.
This paragraph of content can be regarded as completely clearing Mingrui's reputation, allowing him to finally clear his name.
But the second paragraph made Mingrui frown immediately.
Because the second paragraph of LPL’s statement is a threat to Mingrui!
The second paragraph contains a lot of content, but the central point is that whether RNG and WE apologize in the end, their LPL officials have no control over it, and there is no way to enforce it, but if Dark dares to insult them again, the LPL region is a garbage region,
It will definitely make him unable to eat and walk around!
"Hehehehe, it turns out that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."
"No wonder a rubbish team like RNG dares to act so wantonly. It turns out that it was all taught by your LPL officials yourself!"
"I'm so rubbish. I really don't have any B-level skills. Is this what is called I can cook but you can't tell?"
"Originally I just hated the teams in the entire LPL region, but now it's better. Your entire LPL region has aroused my disgust!"
"In the S7 Bird's Nest finals, if I don't win this world championship and don't personally step on your LPL heads and shit, I won't be called Mingrui, and I won't be called Dark!"
Mingrui gritted his teeth and said, then glanced at the comment area below the official LPL statement.
Then as expected, we discovered that when fans of each team who were still our allies at this time encountered this kind of problem that escalated to the dignity of the competition area, their numbers quickly dropped sharply, and they began to applaud the LPL's "protective" behavior.
Applause.
I believe that when facing players from outside the division like Dak, we should maintain the momentum of the top division and show the majesty of the top division.
Of course, not all friendly forces have rebelled. Those LCK fans are still firmly on Mingrui's side at this time, and they are also ridiculing the ugly behavior of the LPL division.
But Mingrui didn't look at what they said specifically, because he knew very well that it was useless to say anything now.
If you want to continue to take revenge on LPL, there is only one way to make LPL realize what wrong decision they made and regret what they did today.
That is, win the S7 world championship, win the S8 world championship, and win every world championship in the future!
Then use practical actions to make the LPL completely understand that their LPL is a complete rubbish competition region!
…
After returning to the G2 club base after being away for nearly a month, all G2 members were given three days of vacation on the spot, which can be used to adjust to the jet lag or travel to relax physically and mentally.
Mingrui's natural choice was to go out with his teammates for fun. After all, since arriving in Berlin on April 10, he has not had a good time to relax.
And now, after finally getting three days of rest, he would naturally use this hard-earned vacation to appreciate the unique scenery of this foreign country.
But to be honest, that's it. The so-called traveling is just going from a place where you are tired of staying to a place where others are tired of staying.
So three days later, on May 27, all members of G2 returned to the club training room again and began to make final preparations for the upcoming LCS.EU Summer Split.
While training, Mingrui also learned some basic information about the 2017 LCS.EU Summer Split.
The Summer Split will officially start on June 1st and end on August 13th, lasting ten weeks in total.
The competition format is the same as the LPL. Ten teams are divided into groups AB, and then the rankings of each group AB are determined through 13 BO3s in the form of competition within the group, outside the group, and within the group.
The first place in the group will directly lock in the semi-finals, the second and third place in the group will compete for the semi-finals, and then the two winners of the semi-finals will compete for the LCS.EU summer championship.
The rules in the league are actually not worth mentioning for Mingrui, because no matter how they compare, their G2 will definitely be able to successfully defend the summer championship.
What interests Mingrui more is the rules for obtaining qualifications for the S7 World Championship.
Because Riot officials want to allow more teams from the wild card divisions to experience this annual World Series, they have specially added a qualifying round for this year's S7, which means that all major regions can participate in the S7 World Series.
There is one more quota.
Especially for the five major competition areas, the number of entries this year has increased to three!
But the difference is that because the LCK division won the S6 world championship, their third seed can directly advance to the S7 main stage.
The third seeds from the other four major regions will need to compete with the champions of the eight wild card regions for the final four qualifying spots in the group stage.
In other words, even if the G2 team really does not play in the summer split, they can still successfully qualify for the S7 World Championship with their points from the spring split!
Therefore, Mingrui doesn't care at all about who the other two S7 participating teams in the European division are. He only cares about whether the RNG team can advance to the S7 World Championship.
It would be a shame if RNG really failed to even make it to the S7 World Championship!
After all, if you cannot personally eliminate this garbage team during the revenge process of LPL, even if the revenge is successful, the final pleasure will be cut in half immediately!
"@G2.Dark: @RNG Esports Club I studied your LPL World Championship quota points rules. It seems that you must reach at least the semi-finals in the summer split to have a chance to play in the bubble competition."
"So you must give me a shout-out, and you have to enter the S7 World Championship as the third seed at the very least. Otherwise, I won't be able to massacre you. Even if I win the S7 championship, it won't mean anything."
So after thinking of this, Mingrui, who was afraid that RNG would "embarrass" himself, released a scarf again. RNG fans were so angry that they grinned and gnashed their teeth, but they were unable to reply at all.
Because G2 has indeed locked up tickets to S7, but their RNG still has to struggle throughout the summer split!
"Dark, stop scolding the LPL for now, let's discuss the summer split strategy."
"You haven't officially played in the European League, so you may not know much about the European League. Our European teams actually prefer to work hard and study the black technology of the competition."
"This doesn't just mean choosing unique heroes against the meta, it means using unconventional heroes to play a certain position."
"Take the jungle position as an example. Your regular heroes are Lee Sin and Leopard Girl, but if you are unconventional, it is Garen jungle or rat jungle. Do you understand what I mean?"
"We, G2, have definitely entered the S7 World Championship, so I hope you can use this entire summer split to expand your hero pool and help the G2 team expand more tactical systems. What do you think?"
When the G2 coach saw Dark gnashing his teeth while tapping on his cell phone, he knew that he was getting into trouble with the LPL again, so he said to him in confusion.
"I don't have a problem. I just want to use the summer season to practice heroes and lineups. I can't ask for anything more!"
Mingrui said overjoyed, after all, he is now a hero with unique skills, but whether a large part of the heroes can be brought into the jungle, he also needs to conduct follow-up experiments!
"Yes, the courage to try coincides with the adventurous spirit of our G2 team."
"Sure enough, according to your Chinese words, it means that one family does not enter the same house!"
Seeing Dark's attitude, the coach praised him with admiration, and then officially started the preparation training for the summer competition!
So, when the short training time ended quickly, in the blink of an eye, June 1, the first match day of the 2017 LCS.EU summer regular season, officially arrived!
Then, when countless LPL viewers hoped that the G2 team would lose the opening game directly, the G2 team easily defeated the ROC team with a score of 2-0.
As for the RNG team that Mingrui has been "paying attention to", in the opening match against the OMG team on the first match day of the 2017 LPL summer regular season on June 8, they got off to a bad start with a score of 0 to 2, announcing that
The fact that their so-called "galactic battleship" crashed on the spot before it even took off!
On the other hand, the G2 team, in the BO3 with the only European opponent FNC team that night, easily crushed it with a score of 2-0, winning the first two consecutive victories of the summer split!
"@G2.Dark: @RNG e-sports club doesn't know how to do it. OMG can lose? Is your RNG level like this? Do you still want to enter the S7 World Championship? Stop dreaming and go to sleep!"
Mingrui will naturally not miss such an opportunity to ridicule. After all, during the summer competition, he will not have many opportunities to obtain dark points!
RNG fans were naturally unconvinced by such ridicule, and began to curse the G2 team for losing all the next games, and then could only participate in the S7 playoffs as the No. 3 seed, and then were eliminated by the LPL's No. 3 seed.
Say goodbye to the S7 World Championship completely.
It's a pity that although the fans of the RNG team are making good plans, for them, things often backfire.
Because in the next regular season games of the G2 team, let alone losing, other European teams will not be able to pose even a small threat to them!
After defeating the FNC team and winning the first two consecutive victories, G2 directly launched their plan to "dominate Europe"!
Two days later, on June 10, the G2 team defeated the NIP team 2-0 and won three consecutive victories!
On June 16, the G2 team defeated the MF Rabbit team 2-0 and won four consecutive victories!
On June 23, the G2 team defeated the spring third place UOL team 2-0 and won five consecutive victories!
On July 1st, the G2 team defeated the MM team 2-0 and won six consecutive victories!
But it is a pity that the winning streak of the G2 team came to an abrupt end at this time.
It's not because the G2 team lost the game, but because...
The intercontinental competition is about to begin!
What is the Intercontinental Tournament?
The League of Legends Intercontinental Series is a new e-sports event added by Riot Games in 2017. It aims to strengthen the confrontation between each continent and each division, and let each division compete for the honor of the strongest division in the region!
The entire intercontinental series is divided into five regions, namely the Asian Competition, the European and American Competition, the Pacific Competition, the South American Competition, and the Russia-Turkey-Vietnam Competition.
But among them, there are actually only two interesting matches.
That is the European and American competition consisting of LCS.EU and LCS.NA.
And, the Asian competition consisting of LPL, LCK and LMS!
