Chapter 203 [The final game of the regular season, Principal Wang debuts! 】
With the start of the eighth week of the spring regular season, the competition for tickets to the playoffs has become increasingly fierce.
On April 5th, Little Phoenix fpx lost 1-2 to Optimistic Family LGD. After suffering three consecutive defeats, they completely lost the qualification to advance to the playoffs.
In fact, since losing to ym, fpx top laner 369 has been in poor condition. In the game against lgd, he made several major mistakes, leaving many embarrassing situations.
And an hour later, as sng defeated jdg with a score of 2-0 and won the ninth victory of the season, the top eight of the playoffs were finally announced.
Top four in the West: edg, sanke, rng, rw
Top four in the Eastern Conference: we,ig,ym,sng
Currently, the eight playoff teams with the most still have three games to play, but considering that the current rankings have been basically locked, the next games are of little significance.
…
ig club.
Team manager Su Xiaomi was taking a nap in the office after holding the team's playoff preparation meeting.
Recently, there have been some problems within ig..
The shy in the top lane position, and Ning Wang in the jungle position, these two brothers conflicted with Coach Jin's coaching philosophy, which caused chaos in the team's rotation and the atmosphere in the team was also a bit tense.
On the one hand, Su Xiaomi had to appease Coach Jin, and on the other hand, she had to teach Prince Ning and the shy. It was a bit tiresome to juggle both ends.
Fortunately, the regular season is almost over, and IG is ranked second in the Eastern Conference. It makes sense that he can relax for a while.
"Who is it?" Su Xiaomi adjusted her glasses that were crooked due to sleep, yawned, and said in a daze.
"You can't even hear my voice?" Principal Wang's voice floated over the phone.
Su Xiaomi suddenly woke up from her drowsiness and sat upright on the stool.
"Principal!? Aren't you on vacation in Sanya? If you have anything to ask, just tell me and I will do it right away!" Su Xiaomi said flatteringly, feeling a little confused.
Yesterday, I saw Principal Wang’s hairpin, yacht, champagne party, and seven or eight beautiful internet celebrities on WeChat Moments, which made my heart itch.
Why do you have time to care about the club today?
"I'm back to Magic City today. I have something you can do for me," Principal Wang said lazily. "I took a look and found out how many games there are left in the regular season. You pick one for me and I'll go up.
Play a dozen and enjoy yourself."
"Are you going to play?" Su Xiaomi was stunned upon hearing this.
It was unheard of before for the owner of his own club to play a game.
Many club owners in LPL are businessmen, and it’s hard to say whether they play games or not. Investing in e-sports is because they are optimistic about the future value-added potential of this industry.
Principal Wang, who was born in the second generation of rich people, is a loyal lol enthusiast. He plays the adc position and often lets ig players accompany him to play a few games.
Because I didn’t lack big legs, I also rushed to the master rank at the top of the canyon.
It's just that the actual level... is not easy to evaluate.
"Why, you think my level is not good enough?" Principal Wang was a little displeased, "I'm a master after all, and I'm not playing solo. It's okay to play as an AD on the field."
"Um, what you're talking about is," Su Xiaomi wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Well, let me help you go through a series of player registration procedures first, and then I will see which game I will arrange for you to go up and compare.
suitable."
"Okay, that's it." Principal Wang hung up the phone.
Looking at the desk filled with documents, Su Xiaomi let out a long sigh.
The principal also had a whim and ignored a lot of Internet celebrities. Suddenly, he got a call saying that he was going to play in a game.
A person who has never had any professional experience suddenly wants to play in the lpl.
This sounds outrageous, but you still have to handle it honestly.
Ordinary people who want to play in the LPL must first go through a series of processes such as trial training, secondary league training, coaching staff assessment, team training, etc.
It may be as short as March or May, or as long as it may be several years, I may not have the chance to debut in LPL.
However, with just one phone call, Principal Wang can immediately play in the lpl.
This is the power of money.
"What's e-sports, what's a dream, money is still real." Su Xiaomi shook her head and looked at ig's upcoming schedule.
April 6, burrng.
Although Uzi is not here, RNG still has T1-level assistant Xiao Ming, who may be able to defeat his own boss.
You can lose the game, but if the principal doesn't have fun, he will still suffer.
Su Xiaomi shook her head and continued reading.
On April 7th, I got a rw, which is even more impossible.
rw's adc is Sima Laothief. This guy has a poker face that has been around for thousands of years. He probably doesn't know much about the world, so he may not be able to persuade his opponent to give him some face.
Su Xiaomi sighed, this job is really not easy.
After turning the page, Su Xiaomi's eyes fell on the last page of the schedule.
On April 9, the last game of the regular season, ig’s opponent was ym.
"Ym?" Su Xiaomi frowned, and the disgusting face of Jiang University of Science and Technology immediately appeared in her mind.
Talking about the spring game, what worries Su Xiaomi, apart from the conflicts between the players and the coach in the team.
The rest is that there are too many unsightly news about ym and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
He originally thought that even if the ym team entered the lpl, it would be the same as those weak teams in previous years. At least for the first season, ym would sit firmly at the bottom of the league.
As a result, Jiang Keda had some kind of good luck, which allowed him to meet outstanding midfielders like Xiaotian and Zuo Zuo, and a bad team like YM was able to make it to the playoffs.
It's really outrageous.
Su Xiaomi felt annoyed when she thought of this.
Suddenly, he remembered something and flipped through the information of the two ym bottom lane players. Gradually, his frown relaxed.
I have to say that this game with ym seems to be the most suitable game for the principal.
Let’s not talk about Naka and Ueno for now.
YM's bottom lane, Alu and Bovy, are currently at the bottom of the LPL.
It can be said to be the worst bottom lane combination, almost none.
Since the principal plays the AD position, a weak player must be arranged to line up with him.
This makes the principal happy.
The more Su Xiaomi thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and she finally made her choice.
Just ym.
…
April 8, evening.
The ym players are holding a playoff strategy meeting in the conference room.
Meng Ma was in front of the electronic screen, surrounding the terrain map of the canyon, and explaining some of the mistakes the team usually made.
In the audience, Xiaotian, Zuo Zuo and Bovy all listened carefully.
Zhang Xiaowen sat next to Su Chen, also looking at the electronic screen attentively.
Although he has not officially played in the lpl yet, since the club has arranged for him to take over the position of assistant alu, he also joined the meeting.
"Pay attention to those areas," Su Chen turned around and whispered a few words to Zhang Xiaowen, "We often have problems with our defensive eye position there, and you have to find a way to make up for this later."
"Well, okay." Zhang Xiaowen kept it in mind.
In the last three games of the regular season, ym currently has a record of one win and one loss.
Tomorrow is the final game of the regular season, and the opponent is ig.
Regardless of victory or defeat, ym's ranking position in the standings will not change.
After the meeting.
Su Chen was taken to the office alone by Meng Ma.
"How about Zhang Xiaowen's current situation, do you think he is ready?" Meng Ma asked.
Recently, the ym team has been discussing when to let Zhang Xiaowen play in the game.
After all, the playoffs are about to start, and letting him play hastily may affect the tacit understanding of the entire team.
However, alu's recent state has continued to decline. Yesterday, ym lost to the snake team again. In the third game, with a big advantage, alu wandered in the jungle for no reason and gave away a kill.
And in the subsequent team battle, his Tahm Kench swallowed the wrong person again, eating the left-hand Ryze who was dealing damage, causing the team to be overturned.
In the second half of the Spring Split, Snake's form became even more intense. After defeating ym twice, they were already overwhelmed by public opinion.
There are even many YM haters who bluntly say that Jiangke University is not as good as Snake's top laner Shengqiangge.
After the game, ym fans directly shouted in the comment area, asking the team to change support.
After alu finished the game, he immediately turned on his autistic form and did not communicate with anyone after entering the room.
"That's almost it," Su Chen nodded, "Tomorrow's game against ig, we can let him try out. There is only one game left in the regular season, so we won't have to wait until the playoffs to change the lineup."
"I think so too," Meng Ma nodded, "Then it will be tomorrow."
After closing the door of the office and coming to the living room, Su Chen saw at a glance that a ranking round was going on on Zhang Xiaowen's screen.
He walked to Zhang Xiaowen's side.
This is a cold server ranking game.
The hero Zhang Xiaowen uses is the current t1 level support in the spring split, Luo.
This hero has almost never been used because Alu has never been able to train it, so YM either grabs Xayah or bans Luo.
If the support is Luo, which hero will the top laner cooperate with to achieve good results?
Su Chen rubbed his chin, while looking at Zhang Xiaowen's ranking, while searching in his mind for the BP of some professional games he had watched in his previous life.
Soon, Zhang Xiaowen's Luo ended the game with a record of 3-0-12.
After winning the MVP, he immediately became proud.
"That's it? That's it? I want to scream!"
After taking off his headphones, Zhang Xiaowen turned his head habitually. When he found Su Chen standing behind him, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his chair.
"Are you a cat? You have such a big reaction?" Su Chen said amusedly.
"Brother Chen, why are you silent when you watch other people playing games? If I were playing a horror game in the middle of the night, I would probably just restart it." Zhang Xiaowen patted his chest and said with lingering fear.
"I have something to inform you," Su Chen sat back on his stool, "Tomorrow's game against IG, you will start."
"Tomorrow? IG?" Zhang Xiaowen was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
Although the team has never determined when he will be allowed to play, he knows that this day will come sooner or later.
The thought of finally being able to fight side by side with Su Chen made Zhang Xiaowen excited.
Who would have thought that more than half a year ago, he was just a down-and-out young man hanging out in Internet cafes by taking orders.
If it weren't for that qualifying sentence, he would have met Su Chen.
Perhaps, your destiny will never change.
"Sixth brother, are you going to play tomorrow?" Xiaotian walked over with a fork in his mouth and a box of steaming instant noodles in both hands.
Su Chen's eyelids jumped when he heard this title.
"Who cares about calling me sixth brother? I'm your second brother!" Zhang Xiaowen said unconvinced.
"Are you going to play ig tomorrow? The bottom lane should be more difficult. It seems that Ah Shui and Baolan are both in good shape recently." He chewed bread with his left hand and called up ig's information on the computer.
In the spring split, ig ranked second in the Eastern Conference, and its record has improved significantly compared to last year.
It is worth mentioning that Ah Shui, who plays the ad position in the spring split, has steadily improved despite a poor start. Currently, all statistics have reached the top five in the ad position, and there is a faint trend of realizing his talent.
.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaowen remained silent, Xiaotian deliberately provoked him.
"What's wrong, are you scared?"
When Zhang Xiaowen heard this, he stood up and shouted with a red face.
"I'm trapping you, what do I have to be afraid of! Ang? It's not just a keyboard or a mouse, I'm not afraid of anyone! I'm not afraid of skt's bot lane either!"
Seeing Zhang Xiaowen like this, Su Chen finally felt relieved.
For professional players, ability is one aspect, and mentality is also an integral part.
The bigger the occasion, the more important the mentality becomes.
Only players who can withstand huge pressure and fully utilize their abilities can be called strong.
At least Zhang Xiaowen showed no fear when facing challenges.
This kind of mentality is worthy of YM's auxiliary position.
"Wait a minute, ig just made an announcement. There will be some changes in the bottom lane tomorrow..." Staring at the screen with his left hand, he enlarged the screenshot of ig's official blog interface.
A man with thick eyebrows and a somewhat arrogant expression appeared on the starting lineup wearing an ig uniform.
"Holy shit, tomorrow IG's bottom laner will be...Principal Wang?" Zuo Zuo was shocked.
Even Su Chen immediately stood up and gathered around.
After carefully reading the official blog posted by ig, everyone finally confirmed it.
Tomorrow, IG’s bottom lane AD will start, and it’s really their boss, Principal Wang.
Instead, the support was replaced by jakcelove and Ah Shui.
Principal Wang is also a well-known person.
With the aura of a super rich second generation, he has a very bad temper. He often criticizes heaven and earth on Weibo and mingle with keyboard warriors, and is known as the richest loser in China.
In the early days of lpl, he founded the ig club and made a lot of contributions to promoting e-sports.
Belongs to a rather controversial figure.
In the comment area of ig's official blog, there are also many netizens who are lively and don't take it too seriously.
[666, the boss personally went to play the game, ig did a good job]
[At Xiao Cong’s level, it’s difficult to play in any ranking, but he can still compete in LPL games? Maybe this is the power of money]
[Don’t mention it, it’s not easy to hit other bot lanes. If you hit ym, the two brothers in the bot lane, they really won’t be at a disadvantage]
[Ym please cooperate well, otherwise the principal will go crazy and directly buy ym’s bad team, hahaha...]
After Su Chen read the comments, he immediately sent a message to Ah Shui on WeChat to inquire.
Soon, the latter replied with an emoticon of a Shiba Inu sweating and confirmed the message.
"The principal said that no one is allowed to cheat in this competition, you just have to do what you want." Playing the competition with his boss, Ah Shui was obviously a little stressed.
Su Chen shook his head and was about to give Zhang Xiaowen a few words of advice.
Turning around, he saw that Zhang Xiaowen, who had been so strong just now, was slumped on the gaming chair, his face a little pale.
