When the two sides shook hands, Bilson had a gloomy look on his face, obviously unhappy.
In this game, his Ekko didn't perform well at all.
In other words, there is no chance to operate it at all.
The duo broke out within ten minutes. As soon as the policewoman fired a headshot, his health plummeted. If he was careless, he might not even be able to use his ultimate move.
The gap in the bottom lane is too big, and Brother Yegui, who plays with a violent style, constantly gives the opponent support opportunities.
Bilson also noticed that although Snake's support is a newcomer, his team-fighting skills are top-notch and he can dominate ADs with a "violent" play style like Brother Yegui.
Bilson didn't have much to say, he just said "next game" to Li Hao stubbornly...
…
Today in the TSM backstage lounge, the team’s boss Reginald is watching the game.
Reginald is indeed a legend in the North American league. Before League of Legends launched the concept of S game, he was one of the famous North American players in the LOL world. At that time, he joined the North American giant TSM and became one of the core figures in the team.
First, he led TSM to third place in the S1 World Finals, which is also the best result of a North American team in the S1 competition so far.
Reginald and the first-generation TSM members completely dominated the early North American League of Legends professional competition, which also made TSM a super popular super team around the world.
No matter where you are, no matter which two teams are on the stage, you can always hear people's enthusiastic shouts of "TSM! TSM!"
In 2013, Cloud9 suddenly emerged, ending TSM's dominance of North America for the first time and becoming the new king of the league. In the S3 Global Finals, the TSM team also stopped in the group stage.
At the end of 2013, Reginald announced his retirement and became the team's coach, but he never left TSM. Now he is the owner of the TSM club and the nominal mid laner substitute for the TSM team.
Of course, Reginald came to Sao Paulo today not just for TSM's private M.
The afro next to Reginald is none other than Maggiola, the chief operating officer of the TSM team.
The two core figures of the TSM team have been watching the game backstage for a long time.
At this moment, Reginald's eyes were shining.
He said excitedly: "Maggiola, he is so good!"
"Yes, in every way!"
"I've always watched videos, but it's not as shocking as watching the game live."
Maggiola certainly knew who Reginald was talking about: "Boss, it's a pity that he is not a member of our TSM team."
"It's useless no matter how optimistic you are, The King will not belong to us."
"No, no, no." Reginald kept shaking his head, "Maggiola, as an operator, you must not think like this. He is not a member of TSM now, but he can be in the future."
"If it doesn't work this year, it will be next year; if it doesn't work next year, it will be the year after that."
Reginald muttered in a daze.
Maggiola rubbed his explosive curly hair. He knew exactly why Reginald was so fascinated by The King.
This has a lot to do with some of the videos on Tube.
In fact, my boss didn’t know TheKing before S6, and he had never even heard of this ID.
However, after the S6 North American trip, Theking became famous overnight and has a huge reputation in the entire North American league circle!
He is different from ordinary Fmvp, mainly because his playing style is so popular!
Among them, many of The King's operations were things Reginald had imagined.
For example, a Juggernaut pentakill shocked the World Championship, but Reginald himself simply did not have the strength to achieve it.
However, TheKing did it!
He did what Reginald only dreamed of doing.
In the entire S6, The King scored two five-kills, and also used Juggernaut to kill the LCK giant SKT, cutting off the opponent's dynasty.
Since then, Reginald has been completely obsessed with Theking.
On Tube, someone compiled a collection of TheKing’s operations, including his performance in the LPL local league.
After Reginald read it, he was even more shocked.
As the operating officer of TSM, Maggiola knew very well that during the 2016 winter window transfer period, in addition to 100T extending a huge olive branch to Snake, TSM was also joining The King in the competition.
Moreover, Reginald made a very exaggerated offer!
Unfortunately, apart from not impressing Mr. Snake over there, even The King himself did not waver.
Therefore, in this 2017 season, TheKing continued to miss TSM.
To an outsider, they look like two parallel lines that never intersect.
However, there are also secrets that many people don’t know.
Following Reginald's lead, Maggiora left the stage.
"You know what? I regret it very much now."
As Reginald walked, she spoke seriously:
"Although the TSM team is famous in North America and even in the league world, we have always lacked a key honor. Even the entire North American region lacks the most critical honor."
"If TSM can set a precedent, then we will not only become 'TSM' that people shout verbally, but we will become a sacred team that North American players cannot forget!"
"It's a pity that I missed that opportunity!"
Reginald raised his voice, his voice full of annoyance:
"If I could go back in time, I would have given Snake an offer that was several times higher during the winter window last year!"
"I don't believe at all that they say it's not for sale. Sooner or later, they will be tempted by my bundles of U.S. dollars."
"..."
As he spoke, Reginald took a long breath.
Maggiola originally did not want to dampen the interest of his boss, but as the chief operating officer, he must express what he is considering and worrying about the general direction of TSM. This is his responsibility.
"Boss, maybe things are not as simple as you think."
"What you see and want must be only The King at its peak. Only The King at its peak can bring about change, and we have missed the best opportunity."
"The King has a history of serious injuries and may break out at any time. This happened twice in a row in the summer of 2016 and the spring of 2017. Moreover, age is also an obstacle."
"In my personal opinion, The King will be the last peak."
"No no no!"
After listening to Maggiola's words, Reginald's head shook vigorously.
"Maggiola! Ordinary people's opinions should not appear on Theking. I have studied the Snake team. They were originally unknown. If we follow ordinary logic, there is a high probability that they will not even have a chance to appear in San Francisco!"
"You know, The King changed all that."
"He brought the only S competition trophy to the LPL division, and also made Snake become a championship giant!"
Reginald's eyes flashed: "He has incredible power!"
"After overcoming one difficulty and two difficulties, I believe he can overcome it a third time."
"That's my gut feeling."
"As one of the earliest players of LOL, I can feel something different from his games, his hard work, will, understanding, operation, and awe-inspiring professionalism."
"Moreover, if there were no such interference, do you think it would be easy to get top core players from the LPL region?"
"No one is a fool, they only make decisions that they think they are making money."
Maggiola was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that Reginald was right.
If Theking was intact, what idiot boss would let him go?
"Boss, you have to wait for an opportunity, right?"
"Of course."
Reginald stood in the corridor, spreading his arms and embracing the evening breeze of St. Paul.
"Maggiora, I have a big goal."
"Within one or two years, I will build a huge TSM base in Los Angeles."
"This new base needs a player who can handle the situation. I want to push TSM to the top!"
"Doublelift will return in the summer split. Once I have the opportunity to get The King, I will instantly change TSM's blood and create a super luxury army that will attract the attention of the entire league!"
When he mentioned this goal, Reginald was waving his arms excitedly.
Maggiola took a deep breath and finally understood what Dabo SS was thinking.
Thinking in Boss's direction, he suddenly frowned: "Boss, you must consider 100T. They are wealthy people now and are not short of money at all."
"In the entire North American region, the team that wants to expand its influence the most is probably them."
"After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are behind these people."
Reginald smiled instantly.
"Small problem, there is no shortage of US dollars for 100T, and of course I will not be short either."
"To tell you bluntly, they have the Cleveland Cavaliers, and I have the Los Angeles Lakers."
"The Los Angeles Lakers have contacted me a long time ago. They are very interested in the TSM team."
"It's just that if I'm not too short of money, I don't want to communicate with them yet."
"..."
Reginald told her plans for the future, and Maggiola continued to digest this information.
He understands that to successfully operate TSM, one must not only satisfy the fans, but also satisfy the boss.
Of course, no one else could hear the conversation between the two at this moment except the evening wind blowing in St. Paul.
TSM's blueprint is always just a blueprint, and what the future will bring cannot be decided by just one discussion.
...After the game between nake and TSM, the first day of the M private group stage ended.
Here in Sao Paulo, it's almost 8:30 pm.
When Snake's team members were backstage, they simply ate something to deal with it.
It is necessary to relax a little now and have a snack throughout the night.
Zuo Wu had already made arrangements, and when everyone in the Snake Team returned to the hotel, the pre-ordered food had been delivered to the restaurant.
"What is this?" Cuihua opened the bag with a curious look on her face.
"Don't you know Douzhan?"
Flandre asked a question in return, and then she asked and answered with a smile: "Actually, I don't know either. I just heard what Zuo Wu said, so I checked it out. It's quite famous here in Brazil."
Chris smiled and said: "Of course it's a good thing. Isn't it just to reward you?"
“Thank you for your hard work today, let’s keep up the good work tomorrow’s game!”
Li Hao stared at the things on the table. He knew a lot about it and explained to Cuihua:
"Bean meal is the most famous food in Brazil. It is called "black bean rice" in our country."
"Bean meal is actually a high-energy, cheap food invented by former slave owners to give malnourished slaves the strength to work. It is a bit similar to our Chinese bean dregs cake. Its main components are fragrant rice and black beans.
Miso soup and tapioca flour. If you’re used to it, it might taste pretty good.”
"Since then, bean meal has gradually developed into a food that Brazilian people like to eat. Now Brazilians feel uncomfortable even if they don't eat bean meal for a day."
The posture was surprised: "Brother Hao, you know so much."
Li Hao smiled and said, "Actually, I have to thank PDD for this."
"I was at the Whampoa Hotel at the time, and he said he wanted to treat me to dinner. I happened to order this thing at that time. I'm not impressed even if I don't."
"Hahaha!"
When we talk about embarrassing things, everyone is happy.
Gangzi came over and said, "Let me take a look and see if there are any other good things."
"Is this beef?"
Zuo Wu shook his head: "To be more precise, it's grilled beef ribs."
"What kind of meat is this?"
"That's a kind of barbecue called "Churasco", which is a famous dish unique to Brazil and an indispensable delicacy for entertaining guests here. Just like when we go to Brother Hao's house, we will also eat the special duck
.”
As Gangzi nodded, he heard Zuo Wu say happily:
"Large pieces of Brazilian barbecue with authentic Brazilian rum, this is the most enjoyable way to eat."
"Tsk, tsk, I get excited just thinking about it."
"Then why don't you get some and try it?!"
"Try some chicken feathers!" Zuo Wu immediately sobered up: "Today we drink rum in the restaurant, but tomorrow we give people heads in the arena."
"Gangzi, I think you want to create some underworld scenes, right?"
Flandre smiled and said: "If this bitch Gangzi takes a sip of rum, he will be swaying when he walks tomorrow, and he will definitely not be able to tell the difference between east, west, and north on the playing field."
"I remember the arrow that Martin Han Bing shot near the Dalong Pit. Gangzi might be able to shoot a more outrageous reverse R. Or, he might be able to shoot another one."
"Haha, that will definitely set off the St. Paul venue!"
"..."
After Flandre finished speaking, she laughed without restraint.
On the other side, Li Hao, Da Mingming, and Cuihua have already started tasting the grilled beef ribs.
"Fuck, leave some for me!"
Flandre couldn't care less about talking nonsense anymore. This group of Asan possessed her and snatched a big bone from Gangzi with ruthless iron hands.
"Why grab it? There are so many."
...nake While everyone was eating, Brother Li passed by with Little Peanut holding a cup of Coke.
Li Sang Hyuk's eyes happened to meet Li Hao's.
The two brothers Li didn't say anything, they made eye contact and then looked away.
Chris stared at Li Guapi's back and said quietly: "SKT also won two games in a row today. The last game tomorrow will be between us and SKT."
"This year's SKT lineup is a little stronger, but in these two games, they had a lot of minor problems."
Zuo Wu said: "SKT has an old problem in the group stage."
"It feels like they have not shown 100% of their strength, and their hidden tactical system has not been exposed at all."
"..."
Li Hao answered: "It's just the group stage now. We'll play SKT tomorrow. We'll come as usual and play to Rio de Janeiro and give them something real!"
