The LPL teams arrived at Gaoxiong on the morning of the 4th, and were taken to on-site rehearsals at noon.
By the time the rehearsal ended in the afternoon, everyone was exhausted.
But it's not time to rest yet. The whole omg team arrived at the training room arranged by the organizer and trained until midnight before everyone went to bed.
There is nothing else going on on the 5th, because the intercontinental tournament is about to start on the 6th.
At noon, the Flash Wolf team came to visit. After all, we are the host, so we still have the due etiquette.
At this time, Flash Wolves are still the dominant player in the LMS division, and the team members like Karsa, Maple, and Swordart are all familiar faces.
We exchanged polite greetings and gave 4V specialty pineapple cakes as gifts. OMG gave us commemorative team uniforms in return.
After the Flash Wolves left, omg continued training.
Today is the birthday of OMG head coach Mingzhe, but he is away from home now and has a game tomorrow, so there are no conditions.
In the evening, the club bought a cake, and everyone celebrated Mingzhe's birthday simply in the training room.
After Mingzhe blew out the candle, he stated his wish directly.
"I hope our lpl can win this intercontinental championship. For me, this is the best birthday gift."
After a little fuss, everyone returned to their respective places, and the training had to continue.
When training reached eleven o'clock, Lu Chen felt hungry, so he opened a box of pineapple cakes given by Flash Wolf during the day and ate them.
When the food came into his mouth, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.
There seems to be something special about this 4v specialty, it’s really delicious.
He picked up the box and handed it to Xiao Wu, saying: "Come on, this thing is quite delicious."
Xiao Wu also took a piece and tasted it, and couldn't stop after tasting it.
The two of them hit each other, and soon a box of pineapple cakes was wiped out by the two of them.
After eating, Lu Chen was still unsatisfied and said, "I'm not full, Xiao Wu. Why don't you have a whole bowl of 4v beef head noodles?"
Um?
Xiao Wu frowned!
"We e-sports people are not interested in eating this. You just want to test the poison, but you want to try the most poisonous one?"
"Hey, what are you afraid of? Guan Zeyuan didn't poison me, so why am I afraid of this?" Lu Chen said with a smile.
At this time, the training match has ended, and it is time for everyone to rank themselves.
Lu Chen simply went out to eat beef noodles.
Before leaving, I asked Xiao Wu next to me if I wanted to bring him a copy. Xiao Wu shook his head repeatedly.
...
The time comes on July 6th, the intercontinental competition officially begins.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the first game of this intercontinental tournament started, with jt facing off against Samsung.
JT's full name is J Team, which is Jay Chou's team. The organizer arranged for JT to play in the opening game, which can be regarded as a great deal of face for Jay Chou.
On the lpl side, except for we, the other three teams will play today.
The first one to play was Lu Chen's omg. Just after the game between jt and Samsung, the opponent was the mvp team of lck.
The mvp team is not a long-established strong team in South Korea. It only upgraded to the lck for the first time in the 2016 summer split.
In this year's LCK Spring Split, mvp was considered a dark horse, finishing fourth.
This team is a bit strange, the core of the team is actually the support.
MVP's auxiliary max player has a high tactical position in the team.
Lu Chen's impression of this person came from a game in this year's LCK spring playoffs.
At that time, when the MVP team was facing a huge headwind, Max's assistant Thain showed his miraculous driving skills. The veteran driver hit five people with his big move, and MVP made a comeback.
Unfortunately, dark horses seem to have one thing in common, that is, they cannot last.
The mvp team's summer split results are not ideal, with only two wins so far, ranking ninth in the lck.
But MVP head coach Kwon doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with being at the bottom.
In an interview before the game, he said:
"We will show everyone what the bottom team in South Korea is like in international competitions."
When asked about his first opponent OMG, the head coach of the MVP team said:
"I have watched OMG's games. They are completely different from the LCK team. We have prepared something to deal with them."
"Although we are currently at the bottom of the LCK, we are still confident enough to defeat OMG because we represent the LCK and because we are the strongest division."
Regarding the arrogant words of the head coach of the MVP team, LPL fans naturally hope that OMG will teach them a lesson.
Many fans also said:
omg if you can't even beat the bottom team of lck, then swim back!
The heated public opinion environment naturally put a lot of pressure on OMG, from the coach to the players.
Of course, Lu Chen didn't feel any pressure.
...
When the game between JT and Samsung started, Mingzhe was making final arrangements for the players.
The next game is OMG's mvp game.
It can be seen that the expression of the head coach Mingzhe is a little calm, far less relaxed than usual in LPL games.
After all, Mingzhe has no professional experience. His experience from Tieba master to team head coach is certainly inspiring, but he also lacks key major competition experience.
Not everyone has the same good attitude as Lu Chen does now.
Even though today's opponent is currently in poor form and is at the bottom of the league, Mingzhe cannot help but ignore it.
This kind of attention even reaches the point of caution.
Looking at the players sitting around, Mingzhe in the middle said: "This is OMG's first foreign game in nearly three years. I thought about it and let's use the system we are most familiar with, which is based around the bottom lane.
!”
"It just so happens that MVP's strong point is also in the bottom lane. In this game, the jungle position... Zixiang (jiekou), you go up."
After hearing Mingzhe's words, world6's eyes dimmed slightly, while Jiekou next to him was a little excited.
Mingzhe looked at Lu Chen again and said: "The top laner of the MVP team is extremely stable, and it is difficult to find a breakthrough in him. Lu Chen, can you be stable in this game of playing team heroes? I trust your strength."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I don't have a problem. Everything we do is to win the game."
Mingzhe explained some points that needed attention to everyone, and then asked the team members to adjust their status and try to ensure that they were in the best condition when they took the stage.
Then it’s time to wait for the game between jt and Samsung to end.
However, the current three-star team is indeed a professional player in the bladder bureau.
The opening match between jt and Samsung turned out to be a game of bladder.
During the slightly long wait, everyone in this OMG team, from the coach to the players, had no experience in competitions, had some ups and downs in their emotions, and they were all a little restless.
Even Ma Ge's cold face is not as natural as usual.
Except Lu Chen.
He closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, breathed steadily, and remained motionless.
Lu Chen's calm and relaxed demeanor also infected the other team members, slightly calming everyone's slightly anxious mood.
...
On the main stage of the event, the opening match between jt and Samsung was finally over.
The whole game lasted fifty-four minutes, and Samsung finally defeated JT, giving LCK a good start.
omg is also about to compete on stage.
