At seven o'clock in the evening on March 5, 2017, two lpl commentators were doing warm-up work in the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center in Edinburgh.
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends Professional League Spring Split. I am the commentator!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Narrator Miller."
"I believe many viewers have been looking forward to today's game for a long time, but before the game officially starts, we still have to conduct an advertising session as usual to promote our LPL sponsors..."
It has to be said that the director's sudden return to the game is indeed a big news for lpl in recent times.
And the timing of his return is very critical, it happens to be the game before the game between edg and rng.
EDG and RNG were originally the top two teams in the LPL in terms of number of fans, and the two teams ranked first in their respective divisions. The Battle of Tianwang Mountain itself attracted a lot of attention.
In the first round of intra-group round-robin competition, rng only lost in the opening match to im, who was better at fighting late team fights. They are currently on a five-game winning streak, and edg has never lost a big game so far.
The team is obviously in great shape.
The timely return of the factory director undoubtedly added fuel to the competition.
Coupled with Yang Yi's strange attitude in the post-match interview, many people connected the context and came to the conclusion that it was the LPL official who was building momentum for this battle at Tianwang Mountain.
The most direct evidence is the commentary arrangement for today's game.
According to the schedule of the LPL commentators, Su Xiaoyan and Remember were originally scheduled to commentate on this game. However, after the official saw Mingkai returning to the game, they immediately adjusted the commentator's schedule and specially added Wawa and Miller.
This golden pair arranged to come over.
Of course, as the saying goes, where there are many people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes. The popularity of the competition is getting higher, which means that more extreme fans and trolls are also staring at this pig-dog war.
In fact, before today's game started, fans from both sides had already had several small team battles on Tieba and Weibo. Currently, rng fans have the upper hand.
Rng fans win because the public opinion environment is better. Although some of the crazy Gou Silin is really annoying, Brother Zuko's two runner-up results are still the best results of lpl in the global finals.
Moreover, some pigs are no more insane than Gou Silin. What about Muay Thai warnings and Maoshan Taoism are still bad jokes that are talked about in forums, which makes edg's popularity even worse than rng's.
Some people who support RNG actually don't necessarily like Brother Bath, but they are more disgusted with Klin's Dirty Dance, who is in the top eight every year.
Especially his outrageous actions in the past two days.
Do you think that if you add "Seven" after your name, I won't recognize you, a stinky top eight?
You're so old and you still haven't retired yet, and you still have the nerve to change your ID and say you're a new jungler. How shameful!
Looking at the posts in the anti-stress bar that were about killing people and mocking EDG, Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh:
"Guigui, does our team have such a bad reputation on Tieba?"
"Then what do you think? It's just a small scene. In my private messages on Weibo, there are people shouting for me to retire every day." Ming Kai said nonchalantly.
"To be honest, in the global finals of the past two years, although you played a bit rubbish, Zaicai was also the best result in the LPL division at that time. You won't be criticized like this, right?"
This is what Mingkai doesn't understand. Your other teams can't even beat us, and some of them can't even enter the World Championship. Even if they enter the World Championship, their results are not better than edg, so why do you blame us?
In the top eight of 2014, edg lost to the Royal Family in a civil war; in 2015, although edg was also in the top eight, the other two teams ig and Lao Gan Daddy all went home in the top 16; in 2016, although edg was still the top eight, rng was special
Isn’t my mother also in the top eight?
Why are your top eight better than my top eight?
If the Chinese people have a natural affinity for the all-China class, then Yang Yi Xunsi s6’s rng is not the all-China class?
Could it be because rng inherited two champions from the royal family?
Seeing that Yang Yi was still playing with the pressure, Abu couldn't help but persuade him again:
"You'd better read less of Tieba. That place is filled with a bunch of losers. They only win and brag and lose. They don't have any position at all."
Yang Yi raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, "Isn't this what it should be? Is it possible that if you lose, you will blow, and if you win, you will win?"
"...Okay, if you say yes, then that's it." Abu was choked immediately.
Valley
Yang Yi lowered his head and smiled crookedly.
Just kidding, I used to fight in a chaotic way, aren't you trying to target me with your words?
Besides, although the guy from the Anti-Stress Bar has a hard time talking about it, he is more pleasing to the eyes than the women’s restrooms like Weibo. After all, the main thing of Anti-Stress Bar is the Three Coffins!
He also plans to hold back in Tieba for ten months and wait until this year's global finals are over before going to Kangba to reveal his identity as the Dragon King.
There is great good news for edg this year.
That is, this global finals will be held in China.
On the one hand, there is no need to go abroad and suffer from jet lag, and there is no need to worry about acclimatization and cultural differences, as well as eating food similar to beef noodles.
On the other hand, it is a little bit metaphysical, and it is based on the name of the club edg.
edg, homophonic for "shipping from a different place", sounds like it would be sent when going to a foreign country to compete in a competition.
But this time the global finals are held in China, not in a different place. Edg won’t win another top eight, right?
Otherwise, it would be really shameless.
"Okay, put your cell phones down and get ready to play."
EDG's starting five players filed out of the lounge door.
Yang Yi sat down in his seat, accepted the invitation to the game, and entered a custom room named [2017lpl_rng_edg_1].
As soon as I entered, I saw players on both sides messaging and chatting in the room.
rnguzi: Mingkai, what do you mean? Why didn't you play in the front and started starting when you were about to beat me?
edgclearlove7: Don’t I miss you? When I enter the game next time, I will go to the bottom lane to find you and get close to you.
rnguzi: Damn it, why don’t you go catch letme?
rngletme:???
rngmlxg: I think we can discuss it. You go and arrest people, and I go to farm your jungle. We can develop peacefully.
edgmouse: Then you must first ensure that when you are farming in the wild, you will not stop by to catch people online.
rngmlxg: Yes, I promise.
edgmouse: Then you said, Chinese people don’t lie to Chinese people!
rngmlxg:......
Yang Yi found it interesting and couldn't help but join in the chat.
edgmajesty: Oh, isn't this... a bath guy? Long time no see! Do you still remember me?
When Ye Ye next to him saw this, he immediately covered his eyes.
Brother, you are just typing, not talking. Everyone can see your words, okay?
The five people on rng's side seemed to be stunned for a moment, and no one spoke for a long time.
After a long time, Brother Bath sent a reply.
rnguzi: Are you the enchantress that day? Little brother, you played very well. I didn’t control my emotions that day. I’m sorry.
Yang Yi was very surprised when he saw this text.
Brother Bath's maturity period has arrived so early this year?
