ym and ym were selected into the national team for the Asian Games. It is not difficult to understand why pdd is excited.
There are currently fourteen teams in the lpl, and only four clubs have players selected on the list: we, rng, edg, and ym.
But except for YM, several other clubs have been established in the LPL for several years, and the players are all veterans of the LPL.
It can only be said that it is a miracle that two players like ym have been selected after only half a year in the lpl.
Xiaotian, who was a little confused by pdd's bear hug, quickly learned the fact that he was selected after reading the documents handed over by Su Chen.
Although pdd had mentioned it before, Xiaotian actually had no hope at all.
Because he felt that with his qualifications, how could he be selected into the national team.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Xiaotian was in a trance.
"Thank you Brother Su," pdd smiled and rubbed Xiaotian's head, "He was the one who said that he must also select you into the national team, otherwise he will give up participating in this Asian Games."
"That's not what I said, right?" Su Chen looked confused.
Xiaotian looked at Su Chen in disbelief, his eyes full of shock, and said subconsciously.
"Well, Brother Chen, you are too kind to me. It can't be... I'm sorry, I'm straight."
Seeing the serious look on the Garlic Bastard's face, Su Chen rewarded him without any courtesy.
"Okay, okay, the official will have a group in the afternoon. Let's touch it together first. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first." pdd explained a few words and walked away happily humming a ditty. Out of the base.
Looking at his sullen back, Su Chen just smiled and shook his head.
He knew that pdd was proud of Su Chen and Xiaotian from the bottom of his heart, but more importantly, the fact that this wave of ym and two people were selected for the Asian Games would have a huge effect on increasing the visibility of the players and the club.
With its popularity rising, pdd is naturally comfortable running the club's various commercial projects.
At least Su Chen knew that the series of endorsement contracts he signed with Tenda before, with the support of this Asian Games, should be worth every penny.
Moreover, this time League of Legends has been selected as a performance event in the Asian Games, which itself also marks the official recognition of the formalization of e-sports events.
I believe that after this Asian Games, the outside world’s stereotypes about e-sports will also change.
The social status of professional players will also reach a new level.
After pdd left, Xiaotian got into the room excitedly and called his home phone to share the good news.
Su Chen also suppressed his excitement and immediately shared the news with his family group.
However, the first reaction of the Su family's parents after learning about this was, impossible!
"You can still enter the Asian Games by playing games? I know you have made a lot of money, but you don't want to brag about it." Su's father expressed disbelief.
"The Asian Games are full of athletes who practice gymnastics, hurdles, and weightlifting. How can you, a computer player, have anything to do with this? Chen'er, don't make fun of your parents." Mother Su taught earnestly.
Su Chen couldn't laugh or cry about her parents' reaction. After explaining for a long time, the two elders were only half-convinced.
It is enough to show that in the traditional concepts of the elders, it is incredible that e-sports can be included in international sports events.
But no matter what, after the official document was officially issued, the matter was finalized.
At noon, pdd took Xiaoma back to the base and took advantage of lunch time to officially announce the news.
"Although Su Chen and Xiaotian were selected for the Asian Games, it will not affect our normal game plan for the summer games." Meng Ma added with a smile.
It is a great honor that he was also selected into the coaching staff of the Asian Games team, and together with RNG's head coach Hart, he served as Abramovich's assistant.
The Asian Games is scheduled within a week after the end of the LPL summer regular season.
In addition, in order to avoid an overly tight schedule, this year's intercontinental tournament originally scheduled to be held in Dalian has also been canceled, and the start of the playoffs will be delayed by about a week.
Judging from the timetable, it is relatively generous.
"Awesome, Brother Chen. If you represent the national team and win the game, you will get a gold medal." Zhang Xiaowen looked at Su Chen with great admiration.
He was not surprised by the news. In his mind, whatever achievements Su Chen accomplished were taken for granted.
"Hey, I was also selected. Why don't you praise me? How is your kid doing?" Xiaotian came over with a playful smile.
"Brother Chen is the first to go on the road. You can tie up a dog in the wilderness. What are you talking about?" Zhang Xiaowen said angrily.
Xiaotian shook his head and said without hesitation: "Some people always say that I am a dog from Jiangsu University of Science and Technology. Today I, Gao Tianliang, will tell you, what's wrong with being a dog!?"
Everyone was shocked by Xiaotian's words, but after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
"The competition in the Asian Games will feel more intense than the All-Star Games. The lineup should be composed of the best players in the competition, but the competition will definitely be more serious than the All-Star Games." Envy said.
"Indeed, but there is no European and American division. In fact, we are competing with LCK, and there is a high probability that we will encounter some people from Samsung this time." Su Chen recalled.
"That's a good relationship. Last time the MSI didn't work out well, let's just catch the whole team and beat them up this time." Xiaotian said fiercely.
He has always been brooding about what happened in the MSI Finals, which has led him to hit hard whenever he encounters a Samsung player when playing in the cold server.
If pushed aside, Xiaotian would do all sorts of things and torture his teammates.
Xiaotian's fans who watched it all gave him the title of "The Cold-Fighting Hero".
"It's not just Samsung. If LCK wants to choose someone, Faker will definitely be selected as the starting lineup." Zuo Zuo asked.
"Well, LCK's list will be announced in the afternoon. With his status in LCK, no one should be able to take his place." Su Chen nodded, feeling a little more hopeful.
Although they are not in the same position, he has been looking forward to playing with faker in an official arena for a long time.
…
In the afternoon, the LPL official Weibo also officially announced the list of Asian Games teams.
The editor also carefully produced posters for the six contestants and paired them with corresponding copywriting.
This Weibo post was also retweeted by commentators, players, and anchors in the industry, and its popularity continued to rise. It soon became a hot search on Weibo, and the number of comments quickly exceeded a thousand.
Su Chen looked through the messages in the comment area with great interest.
[It’s almost as I guessed before. Uzi and Xiao Ming are definitely on the bottom lane, and Jiang Keda is firmly in this position on the top lane. Xiaohu is eligible for selection, but there should be a limit on the number of people in the club, so I changed it to laundry detergent (Xiye)
It’s not surprising, but I really didn’t expect Tianneng to be selected as the starting jungler]
[Although the factory director is in good shape in the summer games, it is still a bit difficult to start in the Asian Games. The main reason is his qualifications. It makes sense to be selected. Now that pigs and dogs are on the same team, it can be regarded as a dream come true. 】
[There are rumors that the official plan was to choose Xiangguo, but Jiang Keda directly said that he would not go to the Asian Games if Xiaotian was not chosen, so the superiors changed the list... What kind of fairy brother is this? I really
Crying to death!]
[Although Xiaotian is relatively junior, he is the number one jungler in the LPL in the summer split. There is no problem in being selected. But when someone asked Rookie why he was not selected, I didn’t expect it. It’s really outrageous]
…
Although there are some disputes about the roster of the representative team, overall, the circle is still looking forward to this Asian Games.
Even cloud players will feel a bit proud because e-sports has been selected for the Asian Games.
Su Chen also forwarded this message using his account "ym jkd", with a simple clenched fist emoticon.
One minute after he posted on Weibo, an account quickly forwarded his Weibo post.
Su Chen clicked on the page and found that it was the official account of "Jiangzhou University of Science and Technology".
“Congratulations to Su Chen, an outstanding alumnus of our school, for being selected into the national team for the Asian Games.”
The official account of his alma mater actually forwarded this Weibo post, and Su Chen was still very surprised.
Although he has attracted a lot of attention to his alma mater online after he became famous, the official attitude of the school has always been relatively cold.
Su Chen once received a request from the school to change the title of his live broadcast room without directly using the words "Jiang University of Science and Technology".
Su Chen also expressed his understanding of this. After all, a university is a school that imparts higher education. Being associated with playing games will make people think that this school is not doing its job properly.
Therefore, after entering LPL, Su Chen also reduced his interaction with his alma mater to avoid negative influences.
But today, after seeing her Weibo reposted on the school's official blog, Su Chen was a little relieved.
This also shows that his original choice to drop out of school and pursue a career has now been somewhat recognized by his alma mater.
After surfing the Internet intensively for more than an hour, Su Chen was also pulled into a group chat named "Asian Games Project Team".
The group owner is Edg’s head coach, Abu.
Uzi, the factory director and others were also brought in one after another. In addition to the players and coaches, there was also an official cadre. From Abu's serious tone of introduction, it can be seen that this person's level is extraordinary.
"The documents for the Asian Games have been sent to each club. Our initial training date is August 15th, which is when rng's last regular season game is over. There is still more than a month left, so there is no need to worry.
, Let’s meet in private first and be mentally prepared.” Abu said.
"Got it!" the factory director was the first to respond.
The formation soon followed, and just when Su Chen was about to follow "1", he found that he was pulled into another group chat about "Who will come to the Asian Games?"
Counting Su Chen, there were exactly six people, exactly the six selected contestants, and the leader of the group was the factory director.
"You dare to form a small group, and you're not afraid that I'll take a screenshot and send it to you Coach Abramovich?" Uzi spoke first.
Factory Director: "Abu asked me to join this group. He knows that it's not easy for us to talk in that group."
Xiye: "Everyone, please take care of me at the Asian Games. I'm already lying down."
Xiao Ming: "1"
Xiaotian: "Director, why don't you start the game? I want to be your substitute!"
Factory Director: "Get out."
Uzi: "@jkd, pretending to be an expert without speaking?"
Su Chen, who was looking at the crowd, also smiled and said hello after being Uzi Aite.
Su Chen: "I don't know who is c in the royal family, but it will definitely be me c in the Asian Games."
Uzi: "???"
After everyone chatted for a while, soon, Abu also dropped a piece of bombshell news to the group.
Hanguo representative team list!
Top order: Samsung Khan/kt smeb
Jungler: Samsung An leader
Mid laner:skt faker
Bottom lane: Samsung ruler
Auxiliary: kt mata
What is different about this Chinese team is that Samsung has arranged a substitute in the top lane position.
"Team Hanguo leads two top laners, Lao Su, you have a good deal." The director directly teased Su Chen in the group.
Anyone who has watched Su Chen's performance in the MSI finals will naturally know what Han Guo means by choosing two top laners this time.
"Khan was blown away by Su Chen in the MSI. He can still be selected for the Asian Games. Why don't I go on the road instead? I can skate pretty well." Uzi said with a smile.
"Samsung's mid laner and support team are just a little behind. This wave of upgrades makes it feel a bit fierce." Xiye commented.
"Mainly with Faker in the mix, it feels a bit difficult to beat him. Let's see if we have a chance to beat him this time." Uzi said.
SKT is a long-standing enemy of RNG, and Uzi has also lost to Faker several times in S games, so naturally he is very afraid of this person.
But this time, his teammates are already the most powerful LPL players in China. Uzi is also gearing up, looking forward to avenging his shame in this Asian Games.
"Okay, everyone, go ahead and compete in the summer games first. Before the Asian Games starts, I won't be soft on you." Su Chen sent an emoji of a villain holding an iron rod.
Naturally, it also attracted unanimous complaints from several other people in the group.
However, everyone also knew that Su Chen was right.
Although this Asian Games is very important, the main battlefield is still the LPL Summer Split.
The most important thing right now is to try to get a good ranking in the summer split and compete for the qualifications to be selected for the World Championship.
…
July 9th, Saturday.
After a few days of fermentation due to the Asian Games incident, the lpl also announced that the summer season schedule will be shortened, and the number of games in each game week will also increase a lot.
On Saturday, lpl directly arranged 5 b03.
Starting at 4 p.m.
The first round is between we and fpx
In the second round, it’s sng versus rw
The third game is the highlight of today.
YM, which had won 11 consecutive games in the regular season, faced off against IG, which also played at the home court of Shanghai Magic City!
This round of b03 showdown is what the audience has been looking forward to for a long time.
Although IG and YM played against each other in the Spring Split, the game was played quite casually because Principal Wang started AD.
In addition to the Spring Split, the shy has been sitting on the bench and has not started in the starting lineup, so the two teams have never faced each other head-on.
Today is the first time the two teams have officially met in LPL.
Before the game, ig officially announced that the shy will continue to debut.
As soon as the news was announced, a highly discussed topic appeared on the Internet.
