The League of Legends fifth anniversary carnival was held from Friday to Sunday. The three qualifiers of the LPL finals and the World Championship were all played within three days, and there were additional star exhibition games and expedition ceremonies on the last day.
Because edg had to participate in the expedition ceremony, coach Abramovich did not allow the players to move freely on Sunday.
Everyone took the bus to the competition venue at noon.
In the World Championship qualifiers that day, we, who had just finished playing BO5 with vg on Saturday night, faced off against im, who was waiting for work.
Both edg and rng players were waiting in the lounge for the day's game to start and end.
The heavy 2D meiko set up her phone out of boredom to watch the new series Saiki Kusuo's Disaster, the light 2D deft used her tablet to read her favorite shoujo manga, and mouse leaned back on his chair and yawned.
As for the two teams, Mei Xia and the factory director, they were led by Abu to visit them.
IM in today's game used to be the second team of edg. However, after the S4 Samsung Finals, Riot stipulated that the same company could not have two teams in the same division at the same time. Ed Zhu sold the second team that was promoted to lpl and renamed it until now.
of im.
Because of this connection, Abu specially arranged for edg players to be IM's sparring partners last night, and today he also specially took the players to IM's lounge to cheer them up.
He heard the rumor that Mika went to watch the game yesterday and gave the whole vg team a blood shot. He felt that if Sakura girl gave her friendly condolences today, there is no chance that Tamu's skin owner, amazingj, would be in great condition!
Sure enough, when we entered the lounge, Mixia had just finished saying hello.
Over there, amazingj's face turned red and he swore in Chinese that was worse than Mixia's, "Well, thanks to mika for sparring yesterday, we will definitely enter the World Championship and create a miracle!"
The other players in the lounge could not bear to laugh secretly.
It’s so embarrassing! Ms. Mika doesn’t even know you, so why don’t you just thank her and swear to her so loudly? People who don’t know think you have such a good relationship, you are just confessing your love!
Especially with amazingj's appearance, a picture of a toad craving swan meat emerges spontaneously!
On the other hand, Miha feels okay. amazingj is also an LPL player that she doesn't hate. If there are any top laners in LPL that make her feel uncomfortable, they are basically Shenchao, amazingj and 957. Their talents may not be top-notch.
But his professional attitude is competent and he is conscientious and never fails.
It's a pity that this trip to the World Championship is destined to be a disaster for IM...
She nodded heavily, "Come on! Entering the World Championship is the end but the beginning. I'm looking forward to meeting senior amazingj and everyone in the World Championship finals!"
When the IM players heard Sakura Girl's words, they all stopped laughing silently. When the three EDG people left, amazingj quickly turned around to show off.
"I made you laugh at me! Did you hear that, Mika wished me to enter the World Championship finals! But I didn't wish you the best!"
"Whoever said that, bless our entire team!" Jinjiao argued.
"Hey hey hey, that's just blessing me first, and then blessing you guys as well." amazingj laughed obscenely and cheerfully.
…
In the next qualifier, the IM team defeated we 3-2 with difficulty.
Afterwards, Abramovich and the entire IM team felt that Mika's blessings accounted for at least one-third of the credit, and they were all aware of Sakura Girl's lethality.
But Meixia herself was not very aware of her own charm, and she remembered that IM had advanced to the World Championship in her previous life, so she still very humbly denied her role.
In her opinion, rather than a verbal wish, the arrangement of the qualifying matches may have contributed more to IM's victory.
Although we don't play consecutive market games like SS in the previous life, two bo5 games separated by only one night will still have an impact on the operating status.
Mika even suspected that the person in charge of Fujii thought that e-sports competitions were just about playing games, and had no idea how much a bo5 could consume the players' physical energy.
If Fujii, who is eager to break up the playoffs to increase profits, is doing whatever it takes to earn ratings, then the organizer of this carnival is just having a headache. It is most likely that he rented the Yangcheng Sports Performing Arts Center for three days and added
An average of two bo5 exhibition games per day are just enough to finish the game...
Fortunately, the people in Mixia were kind-hearted and eliminated the bo10 interference that was supposed to destroy the players, so that the person in charge of Fujii did not receive a complaint for the time being.
But for what she knew was another suffocation at the carnival festival, Meixia had neither the will nor the ability to intervene...
After the qualifiers, there will be an Asian star exhibition match. First, Jay Chou will sing the theme song "Heroes" he created for League of Legends live. Then, the strongest team on the surface, led by Asia's king Jay Chou, Lin Gengxin, Chen He and others will face Fujii Sports from South Korea.
Entertainment invited idols.
Fujii may have organized it as a fan of Korean Entertainment, or he may have received money from Korean Entertainment. This exhibition game, which should have had countless flaws after a little thought, actually appeared at the LPL League of Legends carnival...
You must know that the players on Jay Chou's side are not said to be popular with the LPL audience, but at least they are familiar to each other. But on the other hand, the Korean idols behind are still boy band idols. How can the otaku audience who watches the competition and plays games know them...
The competition process was even more embarrassing.
In the first game, the strongest team on the surface lost the game without any suspense, and Jaylen's face turned dark on the field.
Under the coordination of host Zhu Zhen, the two teams organized the second game.
At this time, the Universe Genius Team understood that they had to give up a hand for the sake of international friendship, so they started to show off when they got the economic high ground of 5,000 yuan. They first left the incisor tower with only one remaining, and then gave away the heads of the top single, and the remaining people forced it.
On the high ground, four-on-five sent out team-killers and barons, and finally came back to life and sent out another wave of team-killers, giving the strongest team on the surface the victory.
Zero points for acting.
The result of the performance is that Korean idols are both powerful and polite, a win-win situation, and the Korean team wins!
And Jay Chou, who has so much idol burden, is autistic and did not even participate in the post-game interview!
Compared to Jay Chou who was not having a good time, the people who were made more uncomfortable by the exhibition game were the LPL audience.
Originally, the LPL team was humiliated by the LCK in the World Championships every year. Now, in the exhibition match of the LPL carnival festival, they actually have to watch Chinese performers being beaten by Korean idols. It is tantamount to tearing open bloody wounds.
What’s even more funny is that the last program of the day is the lpl competition area departure ceremony!
The audience feels unlucky just thinking about it.
Various forums were instantly filled with posts cursing Teng Jing.
But considering that Mika was about to appear, I had to hold my nose and continue reading.
Mika remembered that the subsequent expedition ceremony was probably not embarrassing except for the ugly aspect of conquest.
However, when she and the contestants came on stage and stood in a circle on the stage to form a triangle, the scene in her memory suddenly lit up.
Not good!
She looked up and saw that the triangular iron frame slowly fell from the air, and the red dragon-emblazoned jersey was hanging on the frame, and the display looked like half-price clothing at a market sale.
She had already expected that the clothes would be ugly. The key was that the clothes fell from the sky. In order to adapt to the uniform height of the players, they would stop at a certain height for the players to take them off.
And her current height...
"Don't stop!" Mixia looked at the iron frame moving downwards like Mount Tai, feeling numb.
Has Director Fujii never seen the embarrassing photo of me during the toast last season? Or did he deliberately humiliate me?!!
The triangle stopped at about two meters.
"Ya Zhudie!" Mixia raised her hand as high as possible and said unwillingly.
…
Afterwards, Mixia didn't want to recall the humiliating scene of making a fool of herself in public again.
But the scene of Sakura standing on tiptoe and being cute was quickly cut into a gif and spread all over the Internet.
In the animated picture, the Sakura girl stepped on her feet and jumped twice in a row, but she couldn't reach her. In the end, the factory manager who had put on her own clothes next to her helped her take off her clothes.
