On the morning of September 3rd, there was also a small dinner party held in the Snake base.
Mr. She was personally present to celebrate the few people who returned from Jakarta with great honors.
Time flies so fast, everything is changing, even Ezuo Gurō's cooking skills have improved.
When Li Hao ate the rice cake cooked by Zuo Wu, not only did he not bite the familiar sand, but he actually found it a bit delicious. If he hadn't watched Flandre eating it with gusto, he might have thought that there was something wrong with his taste buds.
After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.
Everyone is a little envious of Kasa's gold medal. He only regrets that he made the decision too late. If he had brought his talent to Snake earlier and accumulated experience, he would have had the opportunity to compete in Jakarta this time.
The gold medal flashed with alluring light, and Black Angel couldn't move his eyes away when he saw the e-sports gold medal.
Kasa turned his envy and depression into appetite and finished two large bowls of rice in a row.
Boss Snake was quite straightforward and didn't say any nonsense. He gave out some red envelopes and encouraged everyone to cheer for the playoffs.
The team has a day off today and will officially start preparations for the playoffs tomorrow.
In the afternoon, Li Hao and Zuo Wu said something and went out.
He made an appointment with Zhao Xiaoan, and the two met at the video arcade.
This place is very suitable for them. The two of them will not get bored playing video games together. When they are tired, they can go to the rest area.
When it got a little dark, they went to the nearby Binjiang Avenue.
Binjiang Avenue is a pedestrian avenue located on the Huangpu River, across the river from the Bund. Many people still remember the scene of Hu Ge riding a white horse on Binjiang Avenue in the good old days, which adds a lot of romance to the place.
They walked on the Binjiang Avenue, and the river breeze brought a romantic and leisurely atmosphere, and also caused Zhao Xiaoan's white gauze skirt to sway slightly.
She lifted up her naughty black hair that was blown by the wind on her cheeks, and the sunset made her eyes look more charming.
Li Hao turned his head and saw this scene, and quickly moved his head away.
Li Hao looked forward and continued to talk about what happened in Jakarta. Zhao Xiaoan listened carefully.
Sometimes, she couldn't help but say:
"I was also paying attention to the finals on the 29th. The single kill in the third game appeared. I was very excited and happy for you."
"The arrogant demon king of LCK was defeated by you again."
"You definitely couldn't see the comment section at that time. At that time, they were all saying that you were the nemesis of the Big Devil and the nemesis of the Korean Division."
Zhao Xiaoan stared at Li Hao's side face and asked softly and tentatively:
"Brother Hao, do you feel tired?"
"The audience has great expectations for you, especially for you."
Li Hao smiled: "Why do you pay attention to this?"
"Well, just asking."
"There is definitely pressure. After all, we are competing for our country, which has a very different meaning. We all want to come back with a gold medal."
"But I don't feel tired."
"Even though I enjoy my limited career, the expectations of fans are also my motivation."
Zhao Xiaoan recognized his mentality, nodded aside, and glanced at him secretly. Li Hao was looking straight ahead, with the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his face. With his firm eyes, his painting style gradually became tougher again.
The water waves beat rapidly on the embankment, like a slightly accelerated heartbeat.
"Did you bring those snacks to me specially from Jakarta?"
Li Hao said "hmm".
"It's not a good thing. My stay at the time was very short and I didn't know what to buy. Later I remembered that Ake from the Indonesian team said that they usually like to eat those snacks, and so do the local girls."
"Then……"
Li Hao talked a lot. In fact, after Zhao Xiaoan heard him say "hmm", a sweet smile flashed across his face, and he really stopped to listen later.
Li Hao in reality gave Zhao Xiaoan a completely new feeling, which was different from being in front of the camera.
In the highlights of the five-star sports program, he can calmly deal with the criticism of major media, and can answer difficult questions from reporters from other countries wittily and calmly. He looks elegant and mature.
In the game, he was extremely strong, able to kill Faker alone and send away mid lane talents one after another. He was the most dominant legendary player in the league.
A person who feels very strong, mature, and experienced is in reality
A little cute?
Especially in terms of emotions, it seems to be very raw.
Even though the two of them have similar emotional experiences, Zhao Xiaoan feels that he is stronger. He has at least watched some anime, movies and TV shows.
You can clearly feel the other person's affection, but you don't express it much.
However, she felt at ease because of Li Hao's simplicity in some aspects.
Intruding into such a person in life can add a little care, which is worth cherishing.
Now, without saying anything, she was already grateful to her parents for arranging the blind date.
As he thought about it, Zhao Xiao'an smiled unconsciously, and his steps became much brisker in the breeze of the river.
There is no doubt about Shi Yizhong's observation ability, and he naturally noticed the girl's rapid expression changes immediately.
However, Li Hao couldn't guess why Zhao Xiaoan was smiling and his thin lips were smiling.
only
On the bank of the river, the afterglow before night falls, the waves of the river outside the white railings, the beautiful girl full of youthfulness, and the white skirt blown by the river wind, these have become the beautiful scenery in Li Hao's heart.
This was a scene that made him extremely comfortable, and he even thought about retiring in the future.
This will be a moment of peace in Li Hao's heart before the summer war begins.
However, he doesn't plan to anchor in a quiet harbor right away.
"Brother Hao, can I ask you a question?"
"sure."
"How many seasons will you play until? S9, S10, S11? Or even longer?"
Li Hao did not avoid it and said bluntly:
"I'm not sure, but I want a fulfilling career."
"I cherish the time I have now. If I have the opportunity, I want my career to be worthy of the title of 'legend'. This is also the best explanation for my hard work over the years."
Li Hao didn't lie. He had such a dream when he started playing professionally.
"So, you have suffered several injuries"
Speaking of injuries, Zhao Xiaoan grabbed Li Hao's hand. She checked it boldly and found that Li Hao's hands were well maintained, very smooth to the touch, and there were no traces of injuries.
Her eyes became surprised and delighted.
If she hadn't visited the hospital before, I wouldn't be able to believe what she saw now.
Because the two of them were close, Li Hao could smell the faint orchid fragrance more clearly.
Zhao Xiaoan hurriedly let go of his hand, and when he turned his head, the girl's cute and shy expression almost made the Ritian Emperor uneasy, and he retired on the spot.
"Brother Hao"
"I very much support your decision, but you have to work hard to stay healthy. Only healthy Goum and healthy Brother Hao can dominate the league!"
Li Hao coughed and said that he would try his best to stay healthy.
After walking along Binjiang Avenue, Li Hao put Zhao Xiaoan in the car, and he calmed down and took the car back to the Snake Team base.
When it was almost eight o'clock, Li Hao came to the training room.
Because she lost several games in a row in solo queue, an angry Flandre came up and hugged Father Hao's thick legs.
Li Hao and Flandre, who were in a good mood, ranked 5 times in a row and gained points like crazy.
When it was almost 11 o'clock, Flandre smiled and said:
"Brother Hao, I'm so hungry. Where are the snacks you brought back?"
"What snack?"
"That's the one I bought from Jakarta."
Li Hao snorted, "I've already finished the snack you mentioned."
"When did this happen?"
"I ate it when I was on the plane, I ate it when I came back to watch the show, and I even put it on the table outside today."
Flandre's eyes widened with suspicion.
Lin Weixiang came over and said: "The snacks on the table, right?"
"Liu Qingsong and I also ate it. The fries were a bit salty and there was no sauce, so we have a negative review."
The clever man said it so vividly that Flandre believed it and cried that he had not eaten it.
Li Hao couldn't help laughing.
Yun is so good and so smart.
Seeing Flando's confused look, Li Hao thought it was quite interesting to tease this little brother.
In the living room on the second floor, Zuo Wu held two bags of ketchup in his hands and rummaged through them.
"Where are my fries?"
"Meow!" the white kitten meowed.
"Ice cream, did you eat it secretly?"
…
On September 4th, all members of Snake entered the training camp.
The league has entered the 8.16 version. Perhaps due to Li Hao's outstanding performance in the Asian Games, Zoe was slashed again. The damage of passive fireworks and the damage of W's skillful hand were all reduced, 0.55.
The AP bonus has become 0.4.
After the redesign, Akali, the Outlier Thorn, entered the league, the Sword Demon was chopped down, and the Sword Girl was also chopped down by the designer.
In terms of summoner skills, because ADCs like to use teleport recently, in version 8.14, the CD of teleport has been changed from 300 seconds to 360 seconds, and the CD has been increased by 1 minute, but it still has not changed the obsession of AD players with teleport.
There is no way. Although the AD heroes are now a little higher, it is still difficult to mix in the early stage. Bringing teleportation can increase the fault tolerance rate and quickly recover and develop.
In the latest version 8.16, the CD of healing has changed from 270 seconds to 240 seconds, with one healing spell taking 4 minutes, which is two minutes faster than teleportation. The designers want AD players to re-evaluate.
Before the start of the World Championship, there are still three final versions.
However, according to the latest news, many AD players have broken the defense.
In the next version, another AD hero will be weakened.
For example, Varus, who has become popular recently and has the second-highest appearance rate in the summer split, will have his base life reduced from 549 points to 499 points, and the missing value will be replenished by growing attribute values.
At the same time, Arashiri will receive critical hit modifications and changes.
As the first and smoothest AD equipment now, Arashiri's damage reduction has a great impact on AD, which will make some AD heroes with weak early combat capabilities even weaker.
Based on this change, Riot Games has no plans to revive AD glory in S8.
Some AD players are so upset that they already miss the incense burner version.
In that era when there were incense burners, all the stronger ADs were dads!
Now, when they see other people, they call them daddy.
This also means that those teams with AD as the core are destined to suffer in the S8 world competition.
For example, the RNG club, after receiving this news, they were not in a good mood.
There are many small changes in the version, but they have little impact on Snake.
The Snakes front office staff is determined. As long as nothing happens to the core, their fundamentals will be very stable.
Today we played training matches with IG, EDG, and FW. The Snakes seemed to be still shrouded in the halo of Jakarta. They did not lose a single training match. This made the uniforms of the other three teams secretly frightened.
Snake's condition is very scary.
On September 5th, at BJ Wukesong Stadium, the 2018 LPL Summer Playoffs 8-to-6 game officially began.
EDG, currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference, faces SNG.
EDG ranks high and has a winning advantage.
Guodian fans did not expect that in the first game, SNG relied on the outstanding performance of Wolf Vampires to tie the game at 1:1.
In the second and third games, both sides had wonderful performances, each won a victory, and the score became 2:2.
Qi Jiang, who seemed to be awakening, suppressed Sao Fen with her sophisticated performance.
This hot man has changed. He endures the humiliation and repeatedly gives up his F6.
The ancestor of Seven was angry at the top and middle lanes of SNG. Lang Xing was caught and killed once, and the sword girl in the middle lane died twice in a row. The younger brother Ryze developed and took over the game completely.
EDG won the decisive game and entered the top six, giving S8 a glimmer of hope for qualifying.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on September 6, RNG will play against TOP.
I thought I would be as anxious as the last round, but today the Wukesong Stadium was filled with cheers from RNG fans.
With one victory advantage, the powerful RNG team almost sent TOP back to their hometown in two consecutive games with a crushing attitude.
On September 7, the competition will continue.
EDG faced off against the most improved team in the Eastern Conference, JDG.
What makes JDG fans extremely disappointed is that during the playoffs, facing the established LPL teams, the young JDG team was still too green. Except for the narrow victory over EDG in the second game, the remaining three games were all around 28 minutes.
It's over.
JDG fans can only shout out the words of comfort: there is hope for the future.
The outstanding performance of the youngster shocked Guodian, and it seemed that they saw the future of EDG.
They are used to calling Duoduo, but when their junior Zoe was killing everyone, the EDG gang suddenly thought that Li Rucan’s surname is also Li!
Turtle, it’s really a bit metaphysical!
EDG's uniform team is excitedly rubbing their hands. Could it be that we have another Brother Li?
RNG said, you are the only one who has Brother Li? Don’t we have one?
Huzi, come on! Show them one!
People from Yujianmen said that our General Tiger is also named Li!
We are not afraid, we also have Brother Li!
This time, they are pretending to be Brother Li. On September 8, RNG will fight against RW at Wukesong Stadium.
Team Xia is the second most powerful player in the East, second only to Snake.
All joking aside, when the 6-for-4 game officially started, fans on both sides were quite worried.
On this day, Snake also came to BJ and stayed in the hotel.
Tomorrow is the semi-finals, and the team that wins today will be their opponent tomorrow.
In the first game between RNG and RW, RW's lineup was very stable. Although Xiaohu's Ryze was extremely developed and Doinb's Kled had no flaws in the middle, it still couldn't stop RW's powerful rushing system.
Snake had used similar tactics before, and the Xia team reaped a wave of very comfortable dividends.
Sima Laoxia's output was under no pressure, while Uzi's AP Xia gradually became weak. The battle between the two sides lasted for nearly 40 minutes, and RW won the first game in a more team-based manner.
In the second game, Uzi used Vayne to equalize the score in the 4th.
In the third game, Spicy Hotpot's Qinggangying and Xiaohu played a beautiful linkage, helping RNG win the match point in the 32nd minute. RW wanted to regain the match point, Doinb even picked Yasuo, and Flawless took out the barrel to cooperate.
, I want to crack the linkage of RNG.
However, Xiaohu's Ryze showed off his power, drove several good cars in a row, and completed a wave of counterattacks with residual health, officially ending the six-to-four game.
The drama of RNG letting one chase three was unacceptable to RW fans. Wukesong Stadium once again became a sea of cheers for RNG fans, and they took another step forward.
RNG, the third brother in the east, and EDG, the third brother in the west, all came to kill them.
The story of pigs and dogs seems to be continuing.
However, when RNG fans got over their excitement, they began to think about a rather fatal problem.
That's right, it's the next semi-final!
If RNG wants to play in the finals in Jinling, it must defeat the most terrifying team in the league! nake!!
A strong team with that man at the helm!
In recent external evaluations, Snake has been recognized by some North American fans as the most powerful team on earth!
Ever since that man came back in the Spring Split, Snake hasn't lost a single game!
When thinking of the tough style of painting, RNG fans feel as if there is a huge dark cloud shaped like a thermos cup floating above their heads!
