Chapter 195 [Shot down that phoenix! Playoff ticket battle! 】
After winning the game against we.
ym has two days of rest, and then will enter the devilish schedule of three b03s in five days.
In the morning, after Meng Ma held a brief meeting, he gave the team members a half-day holiday.
Suddenly entering from lspl to lpl means stronger opponents and higher attention.
The members of ym, except for Su Chen, are generally around seventeen years old, and their mental quality still needs some time to improve.
After the meeting.
Meng Ma changed into casual clothes and found Su Chen.
"Are you free this afternoon?" he asked.
After officially serving as ym's coach in the spring game, Meng Ma also changed his look.
I got a Korean-style perm, dyed my hair a sugary chestnut color, and added a pair of flat glasses.
It feels a bit like a replica of Kuima.
According to team manager Xiao Ma, Meng Ma has indeed been studying and understanding some of the experiences of well-known coaches in the e-sports circle recently.
"Originally, I planned to live stream the solo queue in the cold server to make up for the time, but now I owe too much. I will definitely not be able to pay it back this month. It doesn't matter whether it is broadcast or not." Su Chen shrugged.
After becoming a professional, live broadcasting has become somewhat limited, but now fans will basically see him on the court every other day, which is not a pigeon.
"Then you go out with me in the afternoon. There is a ldl game this afternoon." Meng Ma said with a smile.
Su Chen understood it as soon as he heard it.
Zhang Xiaowen has been playing in YMS, the second team of ldl, for a while. He has been busy with lpl games and has not had much time to pay attention to him.
Meng Ma wanted to take him there to understand the situation.
After eating.
The two of them went out together and headed to the ldl competition venue in Shanghai.
After the lspl was restructured into the ldl league in 2018, the promotion and relegation system was completely abolished.
It has become the cradle of talent training base for the second teams of many LPL clubs.
After arriving at the scene.
Meng Ma took Su Chen to the lounge.
The yms coach is arranging tactics for the players.
Su Chen immediately saw Zhang Xiaowen sitting in the center of the room.
After joining the second team, he also changed his look. He cut off his previous messy hair and changed into a more energetic crew cut.
After adding a regular work and rest schedule, the whole person is in good spirits.
"Brother Chen! Coach Meng? Why are you here?"
Zhang Xiaowen, who was frowning and listening attentively to the coach's tactics, stood up from his position when he saw Su Chen coming over.
"Come here to see you." Su Chen waved.
After a few people exchanged pleasantries.
Meng Ma and Su Chen returned to the auditorium.
Today, yms’ opponent is ryl, the youth training team of rng.
Glancing over, Su Chen saw an acquaintance.
The female commentator wearing a dark green cheongsam, Lin Qiqi.
From female host to female commentator, Lin Qiqi can be considered a promotion.
The first game started quickly, with Zhang Xiaowen using Thresh.
Cooperating with the policewoman, she squatted in the grass and successfully treated Verus on the bottom lane of Ryl.
Relying on the advantage of level one, YMS's bottom lane duo played even more fiercely after the arrival of the troops.
Thresh shuttled back and forth among the grass. After the policewoman reached level two, he decisively flashed e [Pendulum of Doom], slowed down to Verus on the opposite side, hooked up, and allowed the policewoman to accept the head.
A small voice burst out from the audience.
In the shot of the contestants, Zhang Xiaowen looked very excited.
"How do you feel?" Meng Ma turned to ask Su Chen.
"The timing was good." Su Chen nodded in approval.
"You probably don't know Zhang Xiaowen's recent performance." Meng Ma smiled, took out a stack of data sheets and handed them to Su Chen.
Su Chen took the data sheet and glanced at it briefly, feeling a little surprised.
Zhang Xiaowen's performance can be described as "not bad", which is considered modest.
Although he didn't play many games in ldl, after he joined yms, the team has achieved two consecutive victories.
Moreover, his KDA is currently ranked among the top three in the same position in ldl.
If this were reported, it would be clear that he was a genius boy again.
"I came to you to watch the game today because I had an idea," Meng Ma said, then paused, "If there is a suitable opportunity this season, I will move Zhang Xiaowen up to the first team."
After being promoted to lpl, ym actually did not have high goals in the spring split.
Without the test of the promotion and relegation system, everyone is not so anxious. They think about tempering the lineup and letting the players grow in the first season.
However, Su Chen used his performance to change the management's thinking.
Today, ym ranks second in the Western Conference with a record of four wins and one loss.
Showed great potential to reach the playoffs.
However, this result cannot cover up the shortcomings of the current ym lineup.
Due to the natural disadvantage of the bottom lane, Su Chen, who was on the top lane for the entire ym team, both in terms of BP and tactical positioning, took on too much responsibility.
At this time, without being able to buy good players, ym can only promote some people from the team as soon as possible.
"Would it be bad to make substitutions during the season?" Su Chen asked.
"Actually, the team's assistant Alu has expressed to me privately that he hopes the team will find him a substitute. He has been under great pressure during this period and feels that he cannot keep up with everyone's pace." Meng Ma said.
Su Chen nodded.
He can actually see the pressure from his teammates.
In ym's current team, only Xiaotian and Lefty have top-notch talents, and the upper limit of the duo in the bottom lane is really that.
Instead of forcing it, it's better to replace it.
The two of them were chatting about the schedule for the upcoming Spring Split and commenting on their performance on the field.
Around the 23rd minute of the first game, Ryl's assistant Lulu made a series of fatal mistakes and failed to remove a real eye inserted in the grass outside the highland wall in time.
yms decisively chose TP to steal the house and successfully won the first game.
"This is quite a big mistake. Normally, at that position, the assistant must scan the row of eyes." Su Chen shook his head and said.
"Indeed," Meng Ma nodded, "Actually, the ym team has a similar problem in terms of vision."
While the two were talking, someone from behind suddenly expressed dissatisfaction.
"You two have such a good understanding of the game. You keep talking about it. You are so awesome. Why don't you go up and play?"
Su Chen turned her head and glanced at him, who was immediately stunned.
"Who are you……"
At this time, on the big screen during the break between games, the director also cut the camera to the auditorium.
Su Chen's face appeared on the big screen.
There was a commotion at the scene immediately.
"Is this guy from Jiangsu University of Science and Technology? Isn't that right?"
"Damn it! Jiang Shen actually came to the scene??"
"Haha! This ticket is worth your money!"
"Jiang University of Science and Technology actually came to the ldl venue. Is there no ym competition today?"
Lin Qiqi, who was at the commentary table, also noticed that Su Chen had arrived at the scene and immediately expressed his welcome.
"I didn't expect that ym's top laner, Jiang Keda, would come to our ldl game today. Last winter, Jiang Keda was also on this field, bringing ym from lspl to lpl. I don't know what ym will be like this year.
What kind of surprise will it give people..."
Su Chen has been a hot topic since lspl. Coupled with the popularity bonus accumulated from previous live broadcasts, Su Chen is now considered a star player in the lol circle.
Seeing more and more people gathering on the sidelines.
Su Chen had no choice but to stand up from his position, and walked towards the entrance of the venue with Meng and Ma one after another.
At this time, a big boy wearing glasses couldn't help shouting.
"Jiang Shen! We must bring ym into the playoffs!"
Hearing these words, Su Chen stopped, turned his head and nodded towards him, and said with a serious expression.
"I will."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind his excited fans.
…
Due to the opening game of this year’s Spring Split, it was delayed by one month compared to previous years.
After entering mid-March.
The LPL schedule is extremely tight.
March 31st, the day before April Fools' Day.
After edg crushed fpx 2-0, the overall situation of lpl in the spring split was basically decided.
Due to the format of this year's spring split, there are 18 b03s. As long as you win nine small games, you can ensure that you are in the top eight in the overall standings and enter the playoffs.
Currently, edg ranks first in the spring split standings with a perfect record of fourteen wins and zero losses.
We have a luxurious lineup of Huni, Little Peanut, and Scout, plus a veteran factory manager on the bench.
In the spring split, EDG basically showed the only invincible state in the league. Basically, whoever hits it will be broken.
Edg's boss, Ed Zhu, also said in his circle of friends that this year, Edg will win the league championship again and then enter the MSI (Mid-Season Invitational).
Next, the teams that won nine games and locked in a playoff spot are, in order:
We, rng, ig, snake, rw are the five teams.
It’s not unusual for all the Yonko to get playoff spots.
rw has a top-notch double-c combination of doinb and Sima Laothi, and it is normal to make it into the playoffs.
What is more surprising is the team Snake.
In the Spring Split, everyone's topic was the era of the Four Emperors, the new alliance's YM, and RW's Rogue Warriors.
Team Snake's quiet rise not only ended YM's three-game winning streak, but also secured a spot in the playoffs in advance, becoming a dark horse in this year's spring split.
Of the eight playoff spots, the last two are left.
It will be born among the teams with the closest points: sng, ym, blg, and fpx.
…
April 1st, April Fool's Day.
Building 9 of Zhengda Plaza ushered in a battle for focus.
ym vs fpx !
Currently, both teams have eight wins.
In other words, whoever wins will be the first to get tickets to the LPL spring playoffs!
Warm-up phase.
In lpl's live broadcast room, dense barrages filled the entire screen.
No one thought that YM, which had just entered the LPL in the spring split, was now on the threshold of the playoffs.
In early March, Jiang Ke University’s declaration of hitting the playoffs was about to come true!
[No way! I won’t really let ym enter the playoffs! I made a bet with my roommate. If ym enters the playoffs, I will streak around the stadium!]
[After three consecutive victories, ym's state is actually too unstable. When it is strong, it can beat rng and we, and when it is weak, it can lose to bottom teams like omg. It is really just robbing the rich to give to the poor. However, it cannot withstand these few games.
HKUST blood horse c!]
[In the last game against blg, Jiang Shen was really taking his life. Halfway through the game, ym was five thousand and the economy was lagging behind. I immediately turned off the live broadcast room. After an hour, I came back and actually turned over. During the big dragon group's wave, he
The swordswoman’s four kills changed her fate against the will of heaven and made me wet.】
[It should be difficult to beat fpx today. The bottom lane duo of Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong are too strong, and they hit ym's weakest link. 】
…
In the lounge.
Su Chen opened a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, leaned on the chair, and looked at Meng Ma, whose face was full of excitement.
"Brothers, your ticket to the playoffs is right in front of you! No matter how many games there are in the future, you must win fpx today!"
Xiaotian clenched his fist excitedly, his left hand looked firm, and the bottom duo Alu and Bvoy also had solemn faces.
Team manager Xiao Ma came over and poked Su Chen in the waist with his elbow.
"Don't you say something?" he asked.
After all, Su Chen is the captain of ym. Speaking some encouraging words at this time can also motivate his teammates.
After thinking for a moment, Su Chen stood up and looked around.
"Do you still remember how the outside world viewed us when we first entered LPL?"
When Xiaotian heard this, he understood that what Su Chen was talking about was that at the "Canteen Weekend Night", ym was unanimously rated as the club most likely to win the "last place in the spring competition".
"If we don't make it to the playoffs, what difference does it make if we are ranked last?" Su Chen's eyes were cold, "No one will remember where we are in the standings."
"If you want to prove yourself, today is the day."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became solemn.
The young people in ym, all the luck they felt in their hearts at this moment was completely wiped out.
Xiao Ma couldn't help but give Su Chen a thumbs up.
He's quite right.
The world will only remember the strong.
Today's YM can only truly gain everyone's recognition by reaching the playoffs!
So, don't wait any longer!
ym is going to make it to the playoffs,
Just today!
…
"Friends in the audience, let us give the warmest applause to welcome the two teams tonight!" LPL host Ren Dong, who was burning the front of his plane, shouted passionately.
Accompanied by the restless music and cheers from the audience.
The members of both teams also slowly appeared on the stage.
The fpx team, which uses "Phoenix" as its mascot, took the lead in appearing in a fiery red uniform.
On the other side, there is the ym team dressed in black.
Across the two sides of the stage.
Su Chen looked at the fpx team members.
The most eye-catching one is naturally fpx’s golden duo in the bottom lane.
Lin Weixiang is an AD player with thick eyebrows and big eyes who is full of wisdom at first glance.
With thick bangs covering his eyes, the half-bright and half-sad support player, Liu Qingsong.
In the spring split, fpx relied on these two people to stumble towards the threshold of the playoffs.
Su Chen felt a little strange.
s8's fpx has not yet entered its complete body, and the core doinb of the future championship lineup is still fighting hard in rw.
And because of his arrival, in this parallel world, the LPL club lineup has also undergone great changes.
Jin Gong, who was supposed to be in the top lane position of fpx, is now in we.
And the top laner who took his place was actually...
Looking at the face full of pimples on the other side, his expression was a little confused 369.
Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Chen, why are you laughing?" Xiaotian asked quietly from the side.
"It's nothing, I just thought of something happy." Su Chen replied.
