"I know dad...well, it should be the day after tomorrow..."
"If you want to go home, you should wait until the game is over and have a holiday. Well, you tell mom, hey, that's good."
Li Luo hung up the phone and returned to the training room.
"Brother Luo, the LCK finals are about to begin. Who do you like?"
After watching Li Luo sit down, Prince Ning, who was in the queue, came up and asked.
"It's useless for me to take a fancy to someone. It doesn't count if I say it."
Li Luo glanced at Prince Ning's screen: "No more double queue?"
"Play solo queue and put some pressure on yourself."
King Ning grinned: "How can we play with a stable C in the bottom lane? I have to go out and compete with passers-by."
Hearing this, Li Luo looked at Prince Ning up and down in surprise and gave him a thumbs up: "I've been away for three days. It's okay. How can we face the storm without going through the wind and rain? Come on, I'll keep an eye on you."
Li Luo patted King Ning on the shoulder and then opened the web page to look for LCK events.
The memory of the S7 season before the rebirth is already a bit blurry. I can’t even remember some of the games in my own division, let alone the LCK games.
Now that he has become a professional player, he still needs to seriously study some things that he has ignored.
“If you don’t experience the wind and rain…how can you face the storm?”
Prince Ning on the other side fell into deep thought.
This sentence may sound strange.
…
That night.
The third place match of LPL has begun.
RNG and WE fought fiercely for five games and finally won with a score of 3-2.
They didn't know if it was because they went back for a meeting that they failed in the semi-finals, but many of their decisions when facing WE were obviously improved to a higher level.
When the game reaches this stage, every BO5 game is related to the future direction of the team.
Although this kind of competition with huge risks will bring huge pressure to the players, as long as they win, they will get a breakthrough.
Whether RNG can reach the end, Li Luo doesn't know, and this is not what he should be concerned about now.
What Li Luo really cares about at this time is the final against EDG.
In the afternoon, Li Luo spent a lot of time studying the LCK side's BP ideas.
From a tactical operation perspective, LCK and LPL have great differences.
The tactical styles of each team are also different.
Very few LPL teams would seek lessons from LCK teams at this juncture.
But as a version pioneer, Li Luo could easily discover the shining points that could be exploited by them.
After RNG won, EDG had already been eliminated from the World Championship.
In this situation, EDG's mental pressure is not great.
To them, it is nothing more than the difference between the No. 1 seed and the No. 2 seed.
But IG is different.
If IG cannot win this final, IG will not be able to surpass RNG in points to get a spot, and will have no choice but to struggle in the quagmire-like bubbling match for two BO5s.
Although Li Luo hopes that the team can get more training, it does not mean that he likes to be mean. Furthermore, if he really falls into the bubble tournament and gets the third seed from the bubble tournament, he will have to go to the play-in tournament in the end.
.
What can you gain from the finals?
It's not that Li Luo underestimates his opponents in the playoffs, but that Li Luo has a clear understanding of the strength of his own team.
After getting the No. 1 seed, both the pressure of the group stage and the popularity of the team's training matches during the World Championship can greatly enhance IG's strength.
So in this final, they have to win.
Even if they try to expose some tactics to keep the bottom of the box, they will still win.
…
The morning of the 28th.
Everyone from IG arrived in the capital smoothly by plane.
Su Xiaoluo had booked his accommodation in advance. The IG club is quite arrogant when it comes to travel. When everyone from IG arrived at the hotel, they found that the training room had been arranged in advance.
"This time we entered the finals, and the principal took it very seriously. If we beat EDG in the finals, the principal would come over to celebrate our success."
Su Xiaoluo leaned against the door of the training room and said with a smile: "In addition, if you want to eat anything these days, just tell me, I will take care of the logistics."
"Great!"
The child Youshen, a foodie, was the first to applaud.
The training room was quite lively for a while.
Su Xiaoluo seemed to have thought of something after explaining something: "Oh, by the way, the network in the training room needs to be adjusted this afternoon, so let's take a break in the afternoon. You can go shopping and come back before eight o'clock in the evening.
, please pay attention to safety."
"Besides... Li Luo, come here."
"good."
Li Luo responded and followed Su Xiaoluo out of the training room.
Outside the training room door.
Su Xiaoluo took out a few tickets and handed them to Li Luo: "Here are the tickets you asked for. I got them for you. In addition, this month's salary will be calculated and credited to your card at the beginning of next month.
"
"Thank you, Brother Su."
Li Luo's heart was relieved. When Li Quan called him before, he was still thinking about whether he should talk to Su Xiaoluo about the tickets again, but he didn't feel very good. After all, strictly speaking, the club did not have this
To fulfill this requirement, Li Luo would only say it once when asking for help. If the other party didn't mention it again, he wouldn't mention it a second time.
At least from an overall perspective, aside from some shortcomings, Su Xiaoluo's advantages are quite obvious.
"Is my home far from here? I can pick you up from the hotel."
Su Xiaoluo lit a cigarette and asked casually.
“It’s not too far, it’s very convenient to take the subway, and it won’t take long.”
"Okay, remember to come back at night and pay attention to safety."
Su Xiaoluo waved his hand and then left.
Li Luo grabbed the ticket in his hand, greeted his teammates in the training room, and left the hotel.
After watching Li Luo leave in the elevator from above, Su Xiaoluo put his cigarette butt in the trash can next to him, his eyes shining brightly.
The value Li Luo has shown so far has far exceeded his expectations.
He is a businessman and very smart.
The hotel is near Wukesong Stadium.
The Erlong Road from Wukesong Stadium to Li Luo's home is only a little over ten kilometers.
A distance of ten kilometers is indeed not that far for the capital.
Li Luo took the subway and quickly arrived near his home. He didn't go home immediately. Counting the time, his mother was still at work, and his father seemed to have an early shift today.
So Li Luo went to the vegetable market first, bought some vegetables and meat, and then went home to cook.
Originally, the club was scheduled to come to the capital on the 29th. When Li Luo called Li Quan, he also mentioned the 29th. Now that it was a day early, Li Luo did not inform his family, but planned to give his parents a surprise.
However, what Li Luo didn't expect was that as soon as he took out the key and opened the door, he heard his father's murmur.
"Oh, you can squat in the grass for a lifetime, did you forget to bring paper? If you are not good at it, let your son do it. He is really good and loves to play."
"You have destroyed all my unyielding spirit, and now all I have left is silver!"
"Hey, I think I heard the door open, so I won't tell you anymore."
Li Quan lowered his voice and spoke into the earphones, then turned around with a smile: "Honey, why are you so... brat, why are you back so early today?"
Li Quan's smile instantly faded, and then he immediately turned his back and continued the operation: "I was shocked."
"Then shall I go?"
Li Luo put all the vegetables he bought on the ground in a funny way, leaned over and said with a playful smile: "What? Mom still won't let you play now?"
"Who said that? You, me... I am just a conditioned reflex, accumulated in the past."
Li Quan fiddled with the mouse twice but found that he had no idea. He stood up and patted Li Luo on the shoulder: "Come on, son, help me make a comeback!"
Li Luo glanced at the screen and said helplessly: "Even the faker can't save your game. Your son is a professional player, but he is not a god."
It's not like Li Luo has never overcome a game in which all three high points were broken.
There have been comebacks in the king's game, let alone the silver game.
The problem is that three of the five teammates have hung up, and I am still playing as an auxiliary nanny. This is ridiculous.
Li Quan also realized that this idea was a bit fanciful. He sat down and looked at Li Luo up and down: "Not fat or thin, seems to have grown a bit taller. Well, it seems that he is not hungry."
"Working professionally will only make you fat. How can you lose weight? Will you work late this year?"
"No, I changed my shift when I heard you were coming back tomorrow. I thought I would work the evening shift today. It would be nice if you could come back and have dinner together tomorrow."
Li Quan muttered: "When did you become like your brother? You like surprises."
"It's hereditary. Isn't it the time when you were young to give your mother little surprises from time to time?"
"Fart, your mother was chasing after me back then!"
"Okay, okay, just be stubborn. By the way, this is the ticket you want."
Li Luo said as he took out the tickets given by Su Xiaoluo from his pocket.
Li Quan was stunned when he saw the tickets: "Didn't you send them all back?"
"What?"
When Li Luo was confused, he saw Li Quan open the cabinet next to him and take out the tickets from a book.
The two tickets lay there neatly.
"this……"
Li Luo was stunned for a moment and then seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly became a little complicated.
That night, Li Luo and Li Quan, father and son, simply went downstairs to have a bowl of ramen. After watching Li Quan go to work, Li Luo got up and walked towards the subway station.
Mom has a self-study in the evening, so there is no way she can come back early today.
After Li Luo called his mother, he hesitated for a moment and dialed a number he had not called for a long time.
"Hello? Xiaoluo."
The phone was quickly answered.
"Brother Li, tickets..."
"Oh, you don't have to worry too much about that. Although you are still on IG, after all, the league's files are basically still my EDG players. Our club will definitely reserve a few tickets for each player in every competition.
Yes, you are no exception."
Li Luo was silent for two seconds: "Thank you then."
"You are welcome."
The two ended the call without talking more.
Li Luo looked at the phone screen, thoughtfully.
The two tickets given by EDG were so genuine that he didn't expect it.
It stands to reason that you should repay your gratitude.
But now the two teams are about to play in the finals...repay...a violent beating, it should be about the same, right?
A smile appeared on Li Luo's face.
This feeling of being taken seriously was something Li Luo had never experienced before his rebirth.
This is the path he wants to take.
After that night, the IG team entered the intense training period before the finals.
They are not worried about not having any training games to play. Recently, both the LCK and Europe and the United States are very keen on playing training games against the strong IG.
IG worked hard in the second half of the summer split and entered the finals with a crushing attitude. Regardless of the final result, these results alone are enough to attract the attention of many teams.
Show your talents and get noticed.
So similar to Li Luo at this time.
Sometimes the world is fair, and sometimes it is not so fair.
