The schedule of the Asian Competition is very tight. From the first two days of the group stage, to the knockout rounds and finally to the finals, there is no rest time during this period.
At four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, there will be a bo5 knockout match with LMS. However, the rules of this bo5 are quite special. The four teams from the two divisions must each play a bo1 round.
If there is a two-to-two tie between the two teams, the four teams will vote to select a team representing their own division to play the final game that determines the outcome.
Just as Zhang Liangying said, "Your time is very valuable." The coaches and players of the four LPL teams had to discuss tactics overnight, and then arranged for edg to play training matches with the other three teams to recover, while the other teams watched and made suggestions.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether we play a training match or not, because everyone knows that training in such a short period of time will not produce any results at all, so the focus of this meeting between the four teams was to discuss tactics and BP, and then combine it with training
The game and the game videos of the past two days will be checked for omissions.
Of course, someone jumping up and down is indispensable among them.
"Guigui, isn't the outfit of Shuhu too stable? Banshee, golden body, cloth armor shoes, is he afraid that the other side won't give priority to my brother Bath? No wonder Brother Bath keeps dying suddenly, change
I will definitely kill the adcs without defensive equipment first."
"Damn it, brother-in-law, why are you pretending to be here with me? I'm playing like a policewoman and you're not convinced yet. You insist on following me back? Isn't it Chen Bigang? You're going to die!"
"Wairui, why do you dare to pretend like this, Master Leng? You've never died, right? I've been single-killed twice in a row, and my memory still hasn't improved at all. My brother Ma has been resisting pressure in the bottom lane for so long."
After hearing this, Abu couldn't hold his nerve anymore. He thought to himself, "Brother, we are not playing a training match at our home base. There are players from other teams watching."
What's more, the person you are talking about is sitting across from you. You are really anxious. Aren't you afraid of being beaten by the Mortal Kombat from the opposite side?
Of course, although there were some discordant sounds, the overall atmosphere was really good.
Since entering the global finals for the first time in 2013, this is the first time that the LPL division has cooperated sincerely like this to fight against foreign divisions. It is also the first time for many players to feel what the so-called sense of honor in the division is.
In previous years, all the seed teams that represented the LPL in the World Championship regarded each other as potential opponents. They would subconsciously hide their secrets even during training matches, let alone give each other honest opinions like this.
The four coaches and players worked together and put forward many useful suggestions.
Even in the end Brother Bath actually came over to say hello to Yang Yi in a friendly manner, showing a mature demeanor in his words and deeds, completely different from the one he had in his previous Hong Wen state.
After everything was over, when Yang Yi and his teammates returned to the hotel room, it was already 3:30 in the morning.
Seeing that there were no outsiders here, Abu, who had only five to six people in front of other teams before, lay on the sofa and complained:
"Hey, I feel like our technical poverty alleviation is quite boring. Why don't we go play a few training games with SKT, and maybe we can find some problems with us."
The other team members were speechless after hearing this. This old boy was making various suggestions during the meeting just now, and seemed to be more interested in the other three teams than his own team.
"Is this really like this? Then why didn't you leave when we told you to leave half an hour ago? You can tell me what you feel, right?"
Yang Yi ruthlessly exposed Abu’s background:
"Looking at the secretly happy look on your face just now, didn't you enjoy it too?"
"...I am doing it for you too. If you think about it carefully, if we win tomorrow's game but the other three teams don't, then won't you be able to go to the finals and play LCK?" Abramovich argued.
"If you pull a few blows, as long as rng and we don't make mistakes, it's absolutely guaranteed to hit LMS." Ming Kai also rolled his eyes. He was very familiar with the character of his old friend and knew that the other party was probably a teacher who liked to teach others.
The problem just happened again.
Since coach nofe took over matters related to edg competition training, Abramovich, the best coach in China, has gradually stopped being involved in team training and BP, leaving the position he is best at and most familiar with. However, this love and many years of professional habits
He still can't let go of research in this area.
Usually when Abu has nothing to do at the base, he has to grab a lucky player to go to class and start a small game. This intercontinental competition provides another opportunity to show up in front of the other three teams. It's strange that he can endure it.
"So what was the result of your final discussion, and who are you going to send as the vanguard for tomorrow's game?" Mouse, who stayed at the hotel and did not participate in the discussion, asked curiously.
"We go first in the first game."
"Why we?"
"It's nothing more than Tian Ji's horse racing routine. We can't still follow the rankings of the spring competition."
Yang Yi, who was also lying on the sofa, said carelessly:
"Among the four teams in LPL, our edg is definitely the top horse. Secondly, rng and we are in equally good condition. Judging from the results of the training games, rng is slightly better, but rng needs to watch the spicy hot pot.
It has performed well, so we can be considered a middle-class horse, and rng is a low-class horse."
Aguang nodded after hearing this, then shook his head again: "No, then there is another omg?"
"Oh, omg," Yang Yi thought of this team's performance in the training match just now, and couldn't help but say:
"They are just pure cows and horses."
Tian Tian added on the side: "OMG's mid laner Leng Shao seems to have some serious illness. He was killed three times by Scout in the training match just now."
Yang Yi also gave omg a bad review for the sake of the old thief, who made i play too much like an infantryman.
"That means that edg is the top horse, we and rng are tied for the middle level, and omg is the bottom horse?"
"Just don't expect them to be as useful as they were on the first day."
After chatting for a few more words, Abu suddenly said seriously:
"However, we are not without gains this time. What the coach we said is indeed a problem. We have indeed relied too much on the bottom lane to gain an advantage recently. It seems as if we can't play the game if we don't have an advantage in the bottom lane."
Mingkai nodded, "This is the case in the Spring Split. Once the bottom lane fails to defeat the opponent, it feels like it will be difficult for us to defeat them."
"How long has it been since the summer games started? Let's stop talking about those old calendars, right?" Yang Yi sounded a little impatient.
"How can I call you Lao Huangli? If we win LMS tomorrow, we will play LCK the day after tomorrow. We may have to face SKT then. Isn't Bang your idol? Are you confident that you can beat him in an official game?
"Klin Dirty Dance joked.
"Haha, of course," Yang Yi sneered, "I will prove who is the real world number one in this competition..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Klin Dirty Dance:
"No, no, no, stop, stop, you are my big brother, okay! Don't beat me to death anymore, please."
Obviously Mingkai also felt that it was a bit embarrassing for him to be kicked as a ball in the All-Star Game, but Tian Ye casually made up for it:
"That's right, g is indeed unlucky."
"..."
We can’t talk anymore, destroy it!
——————
At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the four teams from the LPL division came to the Kaohsiung Stadium in advance.
The five starting players and coaches from the four teams were all crowded into the same lounge, causing the originally spacious space to suddenly become extremely small.
Fortunately, the rng team members, known as rngay, showed their selfless spirit. Xiao Ming did not hesitate to sit on Xiaohu's lap to make room for everyone. This selfless spirit really makes people cry.
And this move immediately affected some other players. For example, Jiang Chenglu tried to pull Yang Yi to sit on his lap. Of course, he may also want to squeeze a chair with him, but of course Yang Yi, who has a normal orientation, refused without hesitation.
.
"Sure enough, LMS's playing order is similar to what we thought. It seems that today's game should be a sure win."
After the official referee confirmed the opponent's schedule, Hongmi came back and said happily:
"The first game was us playing jt, the second game was omg playing fw, the third game was edg playing ahq, and the last game was rng playing m17, except for the last two games where the teams were swapped, the other order was the same as ours
It’s exactly the same as what I guessed yesterday.”
rng coach Feng Ge pushed up his tactical goggles and said, "omg is probably no match for the Flash Wolves, but as long as the three of us perform normally, we can still win this game three to one in the end."
"We have fulfilled our responsibilities as coaches, and the rest is up to you players to perform on the field. Come on, everyone!" Abramovich concluded.
We's five team members were gearing up to take the field as the vanguard, and the five young men did not disappoint the others. We, who gradually regained his form, crushed the opponent with an economic advantage of 10,000 yuan in forty minutes, and contributed to lpl
The division got off to a good start.
As for OMG who played second time, I can only say that they did not disappoint everyone even though they had no expectations for them...it's strange.
In this game, after OMG gave the old thief the Big Mouth Lulu combination that he is famous for, many LPL viewers, including some players, felt that FW's BP was a bit too much. As long as the mid lane was not sent, OMG would
You might actually have a chance to win.
Unexpectedly, Leng Shao, the time bomb in the middle lane, did not have a problem, but OMG's most stable and caring bottom lane had a problem.
Lightning Wolves' support player Sworldart actually backhand locked down a rather unpopular steam robot on the opposite side, Laikuntou and Lulu. Then Lao Thief and Xiao Wu acted like they had never seen the hero robot before, and the two took turns transforming into Magneto.
Fancy hook.
Especially the big mouth of the old thief Sima, not only can he be hooked in the lane, but he can also accurately receive Q in the chaos of the team fight. In short, he was hooked by the robot, and finally was beaten by Flash Wolf 19:4, which made him miserable.
59e, who had just raised their coffins two days ago, immediately lay back in their coffins after watching this game.
The disastrous defeat of OMG also made the LPL commentators and the audience panic a little. Fortunately, there were no further problems for edg and rng later. Both teams defeated their respective opponents in a crushing way.
When the m17 base exploded, the players from the other three teams watching the game in the same lounge were temporarily relieved. However, before they had time to celebrate this short victory, they saw a scene that made everyone angry.
First, the official commentator of the LMS division seemed to have an equipment problem. There were obviously three people on the stage wearing microphones, but only one commentator, who was neutral and objective, shouted "Congratulations rng", and the other two commentators simply pretended to be dead.
The audience at the scene was even more cheerful. The kind of audience that left the venue without waiting for the rng players to take a bow could only be considered normal. After all, it was understandable that the team in their own division would feel uncomfortable after being eliminated.
But when the RNG team members went to shake hands with the M17 team members, everyone clearly heard several curses coming from the TV broadcast.
"What's the quality of the audience here?" Aguang couldn't help but said, "You can't afford to lose, can you?"
"Actually, when we won the first game against JT, we heard some people cursing below, but I didn't think it was so blatant at the time. Now I guess these people have completely lost their temper." Xiye complained.
"Now I'm afraid that Mr. Guo will jump off the stage and kowtow to those trolls..." world6 said.
After hearing this, the others smiled at first, and then thought of Mala Xiangguo's fiery personality and Malphite-like smart mind, and couldn't help but worry that this scene would really happen in reality.
Fortunately, rng returned to the lounge smoothly in the end. It seemed that someone had persuaded the incense pot.
"Brothers, we must win tomorrow's game!"
As soon as he entered the door, Mala Xiangguo shouted at the top of his lungs:
"This gang of Wanwans is so disgusting. I have never encountered such a disgusting audience in all my years of playing games!"
"Yeah," Uzi couldn't help but say, "When I played in the World Championships in European and American countries, even if I eliminated that country's team, I never saw such a reaction from the audience, right?"
"Indeed." Ming Kai also nodded.
Yang Yi was stunned: "You are really a chicken. When did you eliminate teams from other countries?"
Hearing the low laughter from around him, Ming Kai was so angry that he didn't give Yang Yi a kick in the butt. Fortunately, there were too many people in the lounge to do it, otherwise Gui Jia Qi would probably rush out of the world today.
Is there anyone who is so disruptive as you?
There are people from other damn teams here, can you save some face for me, Gui Jiao Qi, outside?
After being interrupted by Yang Yi, most people gradually calmed down.
"Let's go back to the hotel first. If anything happens, let's talk about it later." Abu stood up and said.
"Well, let's go back and continue the meeting to study tomorrow's game."
So everyone got up one after another and left the lounge one by one.
That night, the four teams from the LPL division gathered together again for a meeting.
As soon as they met, Hongmi, who was relatively well-informed, released a breaking news:
"Did you hear that? The coach over at LCK said that we will definitely win 3-0 in the final, otherwise they will swim back to South Korea."
"Did they really say that? But obviously both kt and mvp have lost to lpl before?"
Nofe was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "That's right, it's indeed Coach LCK's style. If I hadn't come to EDG, I would probably think the same way."
"Now that I think about it, I was really arrogant before."
Before joining edg, nofe actually believed that the level of the lpl division was much lower than that of the lck, but after actually meeting the edg players, he gave up this idea.
In terms of talent and hard work, edg's players are not inferior to the previous roxtigers. This is what he has seen with his own eyes, so he does not think other lpl teams will be much worse than edg.
While denying the LPL team, isn't it also denying the coaching abilities of Korean coaches like him and Hongmi?
Colleagues of lck, prepare to travel back to South Korea!
