Chapter 135: 'I Once Riding the Sword', the gods return to their places!
Looking at Zuo Wu's figure running out in a hurry, Li Hao thought of those dirty tricks of Manager Zuo.
In the original Snake team, there was first a team of She and a second team of Snake. The first team that Martin belonged to dived into the intercity competition, and the second team of Snake triple-jumped into the LPL under the leadership of Brother Crystal.
After playing in S6 for a period of time, Martin began to become the emperor. With the top three economy, he produced the bottom three output in the entire LPL, ensuring that KD was the best.
In a match with IM, he even used ice to shoot the Emperor's Arrow. The ultimate move was too crooked.
Although Ding Huang is younger than Brother Crystal, the Snakes also believe that he is not the successor to Brother Crystal in the AD position.
So, Zuo Wu set his sights on the LCK division and found Ohq!
Zuo Wu spent a lot of effort to introduce Ohq to the Snake team and visited Incheon three times.
What is particularly worth mentioning is that when he first discovered Ohq, Zuo Wu spoke highly of him and said in an interview:
"Ohq is very strong when playing Rank. He often performs very well. His fierce playing style can leave a deep impression on people."
In addition, Zuo Wu also gave this "powerful" Korean player a nickname - Little Deft. At that time, Deft was at the height of its power in the LPL division, which shows how high Zuo Wu's expectations for Ohq were.
However, Ohq's strength was not worthy of his fame. When he came to LPL, he almost led Snake to be relegated to Lspl.
As a result, Ohq's image as a talented player quickly collapsed, and he was officially named King O in the LPL.
Soon after, he was abandoned by the Snake Team and slowly disappeared.
Li Hao remembers very clearly that LPL netizens also compiled a few poems for Ohq and Zuo Wu:
Jiangzuo Wulang visited Incheon three times; he invited Emperor O to make him laugh generously.
Hengpi: We will never let our fans down.
...
This time, Jiezou's brave retreat from the rapids deeply touched Gangzi.
At the current Snake base, besides Li Hao, Gangzi is the oldest.
Gangzi was very clear about his own state.
Therefore, he gave Snake a vaccination at the beginning of this season and asked them to find talented AD players and train them in advance.
If one day his condition gets worse, Snake will have nothing to worry about.
What Li Hao never expected was that Zuo Wu actually fell in love with Emperor O again.
Maybe the dirty tricks of visiting Incheon will happen again.
Thinking of this, Li Hao cursed.
…
NB team operations department.
"Minister, I received a call from Snake. They want to initiate a transaction."
A man in a suit asked doubtfully: "What's going on?"
Then, the staff repeated Zuo Wu's words.
"Two newcomers?"
"Show me the contract and documents."
"Minister, these are the two people who tried out at our club two weeks ago. They were previously in Dong Xiaosa's TCS team, but that team has been disbanded."
NB's operations director was originally quite curious, but after taking a look at the experience and trial training evaluations of these two people, his interest suddenly dropped a lot.
Of course they have paid attention to Snake's situation. Everyone knows that the Snake team lacks support.
"The trade is okay, let them trade someone, and add 200,000 transfer fees."
Snake has made a lot of money, so they shouldn't be too stingy if they take a little bit of money from each other.
"Minister, do you want to change to The King?"
"I can only dream about it, but I'm not a fool."
"It's impossible to change the starting lineup. It's impossible to trade. Snake can definitely switch to support from other teams. We have a lot of substitutes here, so it won't be a loss if we switch out."
"Moreover, these are two new players who have just been signed, and they do not affect our immediate combat effectiveness. Once the winter window period is over, this kind of business will be difficult to do."
"With this advantage, should we let other teams make money?"
"Minister, what do you mean? Replace Snake."
"Yes, ask Snake to give me Sofm."
The staff was shocked, this is not good.
When Sofm comes, doesn't it conflict with Swift's position?
He reminded vaguely: "Minister, we don't seem to be short of junglers, we already have Swift."
"It doesn't matter, I have my own plan."
…
Snake base.
"Chris, what do you think we should do?" Zuo Wu had already listened to NB's request.
"What the hell, these people from NB are just like lions!"
Chris smiled and asked, "Do you think it's worth it?"
"To be honest, I don't think it's worth it."
Zuo Wu struggled and said: "But, I am confident that I am obsessed with Brother Hao."
"That's fine then."
"Brother Hao's vision must be better than yours. If you can make an impression on Brother Hao in the Rank, I believe he won't be too bad."
"Even if these two are not very good, it's not a big deal to satisfy Brother Hao's little wish."
After Chris finished speaking, Zuo Wu's brows suddenly relaxed.
"Your last sentence is so right."
"Although Sofm has talent, it is precisely because of this talent that he has a strong desire to win. He cannot put himself in a straight position and wants to prove himself too much. If he is not aware enough, there is nothing I can do about it."
Zuo Wu had already thought it through, and Snake had nothing to hesitate about.
and...
What if Brother Hao’s vision is really vicious?
After all, he is a miracle worker.
…
Esports reporter Ah Cong reports:
"Snake completed the transaction with the NB team. NB players Crisp and Lwx were traded to Snake, and NB obtained Sofm from Snake. This was a mutually beneficial transaction. NB gained immediate combat power, and Snake filled the vacancy in the team."
…
However, what the viewers did not expect was this.
After acquiring Sofm, NB sold it to the TBG team that had just been acquired by Suning.
Moreover, the TBG team was renamed SN, and they will compete in the LSPL Spring Split in 2017.
I have to say that this wave of operations of NB is really awesome.
Use two newcomers as bargaining chips to act as middlemen and make money directly from both ends.
SN had previously proposed to Snake to exchange Sofm, but Zuo Wu did not agree.
Unexpectedly, the deal was finally concluded.
On the day she left Snake, Shufen was actually quite happy.
For him, maybe this is the real beginning of being Vietnamese.
We all parted ways peacefully and went our separate ways.
…
On December 4, in a rented house, two handsome young men with thick eyebrows and big eyes were eating instant noodles.
I was halfway through eating this noodle when a phone call suddenly came in.
What shocked them was that this was a call from the Ace League of the LPL Division.
After hearing the content of the phone call, Liu Qingsong lost his composure, and the instant noodles fork he held in his hand fell directly to the table.
Lin Weixiang was surprised by his good brother's reaction. He only heard him saying "um" and "ah"..., and then looked stunned.
He didn't interrupt, there was a hint of speculation in his heart, and there was emotion in his eyes.
A great future for his good brother has appeared. He is very happy, but also a little envious because his own future is uncertain.
However, what Lin Weixiang didn't expect was that his phone rang immediately.
Under his thick eyebrows, Lin Weixiang's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was filled with disbelief!
Could it be...!!!
He quickly answered the phone.
"Hello!"
"Yes, I am Lwx."
"..."
"Transfer!! Snake!! Really?!"
"Okay, okay, we'll go to the Ace League to report right away!"
"Thanks!"
"..."
Listening to the busy signal after hanging up the phone, Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang looked at each other with expressions of disbelief in addition to surprise.
"Snake! The championship team!" Lin Weixiang roared at the top of his lungs, and then he laughed stupidly.
"I'm going to meet my idol! It's awesome!"
"I really didn't expect that I could be teammates with The King. I was not dreaming!"
Liu Qingsong was also very happy and immediately thought of recording it in a post.
"Although the NB team sold us indifferently, this wave is like giving us a hand. We must say thank you."
"..."
While talking, they opened the official page of LPL on their mobile phones.
In the consultation column during the winter window transfer period, it was very easy to find news related to them.
Perhaps because this is Snake's transfer news, a small speaker was specially added to the official interface.
I was so excited just now that I didn’t ask the staff at ACE about the specific transaction situation.
When they clicked in to check it out, they were shocked again.
"Snake traded Sofm and acquired Lwx and Crisp from NB."
…
"Sofm was traded!"
"Isn't this the talented Vietnamese jungler of the Snakes?"
"I have read many reports before. In order to get Sofm, Snake spent a lot of energy due to visa and other issues. During the summer split, Snake even specially designed tactics for Sofm. He should be a talent worth cultivating in the team.
right."
"Unexpectedly, Snake actually traded Sofm for us and even paid a transfer fee of 200,000!"
"Oh my God, Liu Qingsong, my blood is boiling!"
"We have not had any contact with Snake before. The only possibility that they would do this is because of Brother Hao! They briefly mentioned before that Zuo Wu listened to Brother Hao's suggestion and the Snake Club took the initiative to contact us."
"That's for sure!"
"Just think about it, except for my idol, no one else has such a big say!"
The wise man smacked his mouth, his eyes bright, and he murmured:
"Liu Qingsong, to be honest, besides feeling like taking off, what are you thinking about now?"
"I'm very excited and grateful."
"After struggling for so long, from 2014 to now, this support is so important to both of us. This opportunity is definitely hard-won!"
"Joining Snake and joining NB are two completely different ways to start your career. Besides, even if you go to NB, you still have to be a substitute." Gu
"Yes, a scholar will die for his confidant!"
"We have to double our training during this period. If Brother Hao really recruited us, if our performance is bad, wouldn't it be a slap in Brother Hao's face?"
The wise man nodded: "You're right, I won't sleep tonight and will continue to fight in the early morning!"
"This is where a career really begins!"
"Idol, here I come!"
…
December 7th.
The two of them carried their suitcases and arrived at the Snake Base in the Magic City together.
Snake has prepared a simple welcome ceremony.
At this time, Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang saw the figure.
The man was holding a white cat and smiling warmly at them.
"Live!"
"The King alive!"
Flandre burst out laughing when she heard this, and patted Lin Weixiang's shoulder in a familiar manner.
"Hahaha, you are really smart."
"Of course Brother Hao is alive."
"That's wrong, that's wrong. It's my first time to see a real person. I'm so excited!"
"Take a look at this."
While Lin Weixiang was speaking, he took out his mobile phone and pressed the screen open button.
In addition to the password lock, you can clearly see the open screen wallpaper at the back, which is the scene when Li Hao was injured and removed the bandage during the summer game.
However, this picture is obviously not in a realistic style, but was later drawn in an anime style by someone else.
Even at this moment, Brother Shengqiang's heart sank when he saw this scene.
Only those who have actually experienced that process will understand what a critical moment it was for Snake!
Without Brother Hao's self-sacrifice and efforts to turn the tide, let alone the world championship, there is a question mark whether he can even break out of the LPL division.
Lin Weixiang recalled: "When I watched that game, I regarded Brother Hao as my idol."
"Every night, when I am slacking off from training until late at night, when I see this picture, it feels like I'm getting a shot of blood!"
"..."
I heard Liu Qingsong express his thoughts again, he and Lin Weixiang are basically the same.
Their debut was not smooth, but they have been training hard in silence.
Li Hao survived several winters and summers, experienced various hardships, and finally took the most difficult road to achieve glory. Such role model experience really gave them great motivation and inspiration!
"It's okay to praise me in private. If you praise me in person, I won't be able to hold my pride back."
While talking, Li Hao smiled again.
The two newlyweds felt a sense of relief and relaxed a lot.
They looked at each other and thought that Brother Hao not only had no airs, but also had a little sense of humor.
More importantly, there is no fierce and cold aura like during the game.
Zuo Wu clapped his hands and said, "Don't be upset, our lineup is officially assembled today, let's have a small dinner first!"
Everyone agreed. Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong did not pack their luggage, and everyone went directly to the restaurant on the second floor.
He was one step ahead and picked up the plate with ease.
It's been three days since Zizhi came to Snake. He has a very high emotional intelligence, knows how to handle things, and gets along well with everyone.
Moreover, Zhizi moved directly into Li Hao and Flando's dormitory, and the two of them became a happy nest for three people.
In the words of a noble lady in the capital, he is Brother Hao's substitute. Entering Brother Hao's room makes it easier to make the bed and fold the quilt, do some dirty work, etc. Although this man talks nonsense, he looks serious and talks nonsense. Li Hao and Brother Shengqiang was also very amused.
Last season, Stance and Holy Spear were both very strong top laners, and there were many battles between IG and Snake. At that time, the atmosphere between the two was still very strong.
Unexpectedly, just a few months later, the two of them would sleep in the same room, almost sleeping together.
Tsk tsk, this is all ape dung~~
Li Hao still remembers that on the first night when the posture came, the lights were turned off in the three-person den, and these two guys kept beeping.
They asked Li Hao to be the referee to discuss who is the stronger top laner in the summer split.
Li Hao uses the escape technique and does not participate in the battle between the top laners.
Afterwards, Flandre responded with the words "I am the S6 champion top laner" and stabilized her stance.
If he couldn't stand his posture, he would tell some harsh jokes, which made it difficult for him to withstand the holy spear, so he won back the victory.
Of course, this happened a few nights ago.
…
There was a large table of dishes, and everyone gathered around Snake.
Flanduo, Cuihua, Brother Hao, Zhi, Gangzi, Lin Weixiang, Liu Qingsong.
A small group of 7 people is officially formed!
Zuo Wu and Chris both stood up and raised the drinks in their hands.
"S7, let's work together!"
"In the new season, I hope the brothers can achieve greater success!"
"Come on Snake!"
"come on!"
"..."
Under the lights of the Snakes base, at this moment, young faces are full of expectations for the 2017 season.
…
On December 9, 2016, there were still one month and ten days before the new season started.
Li Hao was officially invited by LPL and came to Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center.
On this day, he was dressed very formally, wearing a crisp suit, and the makeup artist also dressed him up carefully.
Her already perfect looks shine even more under the lens!
Many viewers who are watching the live broadcast of the annual awards ceremony are feeling emotional.
"Brothers, please comfort me if you are broken up in love. My girlfriend and I were watching the live broadcast together, Brother Wolfberry appeared, and then I disappeared."
"Haha, I'm just the opposite. I saw Brother Wolfberry make an appearance, and then my girlfriend was dumped by me."
"Brother Wolfberry, you really shouldn't be so stuck on gender. Give your brothers a chance."
"Nantong, give me Guaba!"
"..."
Under the stage lights, Ren Dong shouted in a loud voice:
"The annual MVP of the League of Legends LPL division in 2016 is..."
"TheKing~!!"
…
The audience who came to the scene gave a round of applause and cheers.
Originally, Mr. Dai before EDG was still in contention for this annual MVP award.
But after Snake won the S championship, this annual MVP was basically settled.
Officials are not fools. If they award the award to someone else at this time, isn’t that looking for scolding?!
After announcing The King as the MVP of the year, he received a lot of applause.
…
"I just want to say one thing, this MVP award belongs to everyone at Snake. In the new season, the new Snake will continue to set sail, hoping to live up to the expectations of fans."
…
In addition to Li Hao winning the MVP of the year, Kiro Ezuo won the Best Operation, and this award was also well received.
After all, Zuo Wu discovered The King.
Although there are many elements mixed into it, such as beef noodles, knocking over the water dispenser and so on.
However, The King's arrival at Snake has an inseparable relationship with Manager Zuo after all.
Indirectly speaking, this is equivalent to helping the LPL division win an S championship!
Manager Zuo’s excavation method was immediately evaluated as ‘the best excavation in the world’!
Seeing Zuo Wu receiving the trophy with great dignity, several teams in the LPL wanted to eat him.
I heard that the operations director of RNG broke a beloved mirror that day. The legal department was humiliated, nailed to the pillar of shame, and whipped over and over again!
This wave of operations in RNG’s summer split is called ‘the first blind person in the world’!
That night, someone started to stir things up under the RNG official website:
——"I once wielded a sword"
"I once wanted to use swordsman North America to cut off the dominance of LCK~"
"I once regarded them as the cloud of smoke behind my sword~"
"I once left all the reasons for my failure to time~"
"I once threw The King right next to the bench~"
"I once smashed the completed mirror, and the legal department was so embarrassed that I shed tears~"
"How I want to go back to spring and give wolfberry a chance~~"
"..."
…
Brother Shengqiang won the title of the strongest top laner in the 2016 LPL, Cuihua won the title of Most Improved Player, Chris won the title of Best Coach... Snake everyone, a lot of money.
After the annual celebration ceremony, the LPL will enter an offseason.
The official made arrangements in advance this time and held the 2017 Spring Split draw ceremony on the spot.
The regular season will include double round-robin matches between groups A and B and single-round confrontations between different groups. Similar to last season, the entire regular season will consist of 96 BO3 games.
Group lottery rules: The 2017 LPL Spring Split will divide the 12 participating teams into four level pools based on the total results in 2016, and draw 1/2/2/1 teams from each level pool into two groups, A and B respectively.
The finals, regional qualifying rounds, and points are divided according to this gradient.
Pool No. 1: Snake, EDG.
Pool 2: IM, WE, RNG, VG.
Pool No. 3: IG, GT, NB, LGD.
Pool No. 4: OMG, QG.
After Doinb experienced a severance of friendship and a one-minute BO5 incident in the spring split, he was transferred to the LSPL. He took NBY and returned to the LPL.
After the draw, the members of Group AB are officially determined.
Group A: Snake, RNG, OMG, VG, LGD, IG.
Group B: EDG, QG, WE, IM, NB, GT.
…
On January 19th, the 2017 LPL Spring Split will officially begin!
The offseason has begun, and Snake Club, like other teams, is giving everyone a holiday.
However, this offseason is not quiet!
That night when he returned to Snake's base, Li Hao received a new system prompt.
