Chapter 493: Showcase shirt, the third sword of Zhu Xian
In the last few days before the summer games, Li Hao stayed with the TSM players and actively prepared for the game. During these days, the enthusiasm of North American players continued to rise. With the kindness of the fans, TSM also invited several groups of lucky spectators.
TSM base visit.
The first thing to visit is the corridor that enters the center of the base with exquisite glass windows on both sides. It is filled with various glories of TSM and witnesses the past and present of the powerful North American team.
Originally there were only two golden display windows, but now there are four.
The only MSI Gold Cup in the LCS was placed there, instantly giving this brand-new base the deepest heritage in North America.
In another golden window, there is a clothes rack, hanging a TSM black team uniform. Different from the daily game uniform, this one is a commemorative model for the 2019 Mid-Season Championship, with the TSM team logo printed on it in white fonts.
In the center of the team uniform is written "The King". Further below, there is a conspicuous logo of Fp.
Li Hao was also very moved by this incident. Captain Orangutan exceeded his original promise.
The original plan was to display items related to the S game in the golden display window, otherwise it would be permanently vacant.
But this time Msi inspired TSM, and the mid-season championship and glory were also placed in it. Therefore, any fan who comes to visit the TSM base will see this hanging jersey.
A huge new base, so it has a closer connection with the ID "Theking".
TSM will always put them there, so that all North American fans will remember one thing: in the endless night sky, the bright light shined over the LCS in 2019. The lucky spectators who visited the base this time, and this piece
The number of photos taken with the jersey is more than the mid-season championship trophy standing aside.
MSI Dynasty jersey, this is the more attractive meaning of the jersey. Of course, Li Hao and others are not idle.
Taking photos with some lucky fans is a must.
LCS players are very enthusiastic, bolder, and more talkative. They are praised by various North American audiences in person, and the praise is so overwhelming that even Li Hao feels a little ashamed.
"Brother, you are so popular."
On the evening of May 31st, Ka Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion while eating. Li Hao didn't respond, and the stupid chicken laughed at the side:
"Bingquan, he is the God of the LCS now. Nine of the ten North American viewers love him very much, and the other one enshrines him in his home."
"As a Chinese foreign aid, this is my first time, but it is easy to understand." "I have so many honors, and this time I am a major contributor to the championship." He changed the subject:
"But haven't you noticed? My popularity in the LCS is not what it used to be." "The strongest jungler in North America has already engraved Bengi's mark."
Seeing a certain chicken looking very proud, Kabo glanced at him unfavorably:
"Xingxiong, you have been very successful. During the summer competition, you can rest more backstage and I will take the field for you."
"The strongest jungler in North America should not be worn out in the summer games. The World Championship is your battlefield."
Stupid chicken hugged Kabo's neck:
"Good brother, I understand your wishes."
"But I am not a stupid person who is willing to let my brothers suffer for me!"
Li Hao no longer finds it strange that these two people are talking to each other, and Li Hao is no longer surprised by the intrigue between good brothers.
After Msi finished playing, TSM's two junglers were fighting each other. This is a good thing.
"Version 9.11 will be updated tomorrow. Judging from the version preview, there is not much target for us."
Senior Brother, who had already eaten, leaned on the chair next to Li Hao and leisurely recounted the information he knew.
Ever since Msi Kalista's famous appearance, the North American senior brother who used to be arrogant has long since become a loyal fan among fans.
In the eyes of many viewers, this is the senior brother's "human head diplomacy" policy. The relationship between the two living fossils of e-sports has become closer.
Li Hao smiled softly:
"There is no need for Riot to target us. Even though we won all the games on MSI, we are still unstable in the minds of many people."
"In the past nine years, everyone has been too stereotyped about the LCS, and I'm afraid even Riot is the same." "Mid-season MSI and future S games are two different concepts. Maybe Ryze and Tryndamere are worried about whether TSM can continue in the future.
Survive the version changes."
"Only we know how much TSM attaches importance to S9 and how the team is preparing for it."
"Yiliang, this is not a bad thing for us."
"Compared to past MSi champions, our environment is better."
The senior brother smiled honestly: "You are always so transparent, and you are not called the strongest brain for nothing." "I hope they treat me as an ordinary player."
Li Hao responded, but Bilson said excitedly:
"The version has not changed much, but your champion skin will be updated tomorrow." "On the field, maybe I will use the Sword Demon skin earlier than you." "How about it, won't you be envious?"
The Dane smiled with white teeth.
Blake patted Bilson on the shoulder: "Li won't be envious." "He should be looking forward to you."
"In addition to making good use of Sword Demon, Li Hui hopes that Bilson can get his own skin on S9."
"Including all TSM members, we will work hard for this!"
"..."
Old Black's words not only cheered up Bilson, but even his senior brother straightened up.
In no time, there were eyes floating on Li Hao.
Anyone who is sober knows that this season is the best opportunity for the LCS.
Faced with the only opportunity in their careers, everyone needs to consider how far they should go this summer.
Li Hao's eyes swept over them and said sincerely: "Don't look at me."
"What TSM wants to achieve in the summer requires everyone's participation." "Yes!"
"We should do our job."
"I believe in Li, I believe in everyone, the LCS in the summer will still be crazy because of us!" "Come on, guys!"
"..."
At this moment, the atmosphere in TSM is really good.
In addition to the trust established in one spring and the honor of MSI championship, it is also because those present are basically older players.
A group of old living fossils have been in the alliance for many years. Everyone knows what they want and what level they can reach at this stage.
Old Blake still looked at Li Hao.
The league's No. 1 player burst out with the greatest brilliance of his career in 2019, breaking through the injuries suffered at the end of 2018. It was like sublimation, and he produced even more explosive data.
To partner with a player of this level, there is only one opportunity in your entire career. If you don't take advantage of it, it would be a crime!
Therefore, after winning the MSI championship, the players on TSM did not feel inflated. After quickly getting over the joy of victory, everyone devoted themselves to training.
When some LCS teams collected the news from TSM, they were also shocked. These people are crazy!
Winning the championship didn’t take more than a few days to celebrate!
With TSM making such a good start, the atmosphere of the entire LCS has changed a lot. The number of training games played this offseason is three times that of 2018!
The competition is so fierce, if you don’t follow the test, you won’t even think about qualifying for the 2019 S competition.
...
On June 1, the first version of the summer split, 9.11, was officially launched.
Right above the version, the first hero to be changed is Akali, the only five-kill hero on MSI.
There is a huge difference between Akali in the hands of top players and other players. An important reason for this phenomenon is her ability to create coherent and sustained damage. If it is weakened, the most fatal part is energy.
Reply, this will directly affect Akali's mechanics.
After the official update of 9.11, it is basically the same as the preview of the test server.
Akali's passive 0.9 extra attack power bonus was weakened to 0.7 extra attack power, and her magic bonus remained unchanged.
For an AP assassin who mainly uses magic equipment, such a weakening is not painful and will not shake the foundation at all.
Comparing it with previous years, Riot is definitely showing mercy. But not to mention the audience, even the teams in the major regions can understand. There is nothing to target in the LCS region.
Not strengthening TSM's related heroes is already saving face. Looking at the league, Riot should be the one who wants the LCS team to win the championship the most.
If the North American division keeps pulling back, it will seriously affect their local strategy.
This is also the reason why after TSM won the championship in mid-season, Riot promoted on its website, provided venues, helped with peripherals, and made skins for Fp.
An MSI champion is like a spring breeze passing by, making the North American division continue to flourish and come back to life.
Just look at the number of people online on the US server and you will know that it has doubled in an instant!
Some old players who gave up the game also relit their gray avatars.
On the desks of the bosses at Riot headquarters, there are now various resource investment plans for Li Hao.
Times have changed. Faced with Li Hao at this time, even Riot must deal with it carefully, try to be the boss and maintain a good relationship with each other.
For example, these days after returning to Los Angeles, Tryndamere invited Li Hao to his private estate, saying there was a party.
But Li Hao refused on the grounds of playing a training match. Tryndamere was very happy and had someone send him the latest batch of figures.
This matter was revealed by some insiders, and many viewers knew about it. Galio was changed again.
The basic damage is reduced and the AP bonus is increased. The basic damage of E is reduced in the early stage, which is equivalent to weakening the benefits of the auxiliary tank gameplay. The damage of the mid laner in the later stage of AP flow is increased, which is equivalent to helping Galio get back on track. In the mid-season, Galio's auxiliary gameplay
Too much.
When Li Hao saw this change, he suddenly felt familiar.
This is the prelude to a major change in Galio, and designers will soon secretly change the mechanism.
The gargoyle will have one of its arms chopped off, and taunting and flashing, a violent group-starting method, will disappear soon.
Including Barrel, Amumu, Feng Nu, Jace, Death Song, Cat and a number of other heroes, all have some changes.
The price of the blue-sucking knife remains unchanged, and the attack power is increased by 5 points. This is good news for Xayah, Sivir, and Lucian.
Some heroes' skills are naturally very compatible with the Sheep Knife passive. This time, the designers have also modified the trigger frequency to give summoners more choices.
At the same time, Riot also added a setting.
All players above the strongest king level will have special recall effects. This has been interpreted by many people as a prelude to the appearance of Akali Angel's level-restricted skin.
For ordinary players, the changes in 9.11 are far less attractive than the S8 champion skin.
Snake's dynasty skin appears with a strong Chinese ink style.
Sword Girl, Qinggang Shadow, Kai'Sa, Thresh...
The details and special effects of these skins are very good. The special effects of the return to the city are also different according to the opinions of Flandre and others at the time.
For example, when Kai'Sa returns to the city, she will continuously take out championship trophies from the void, one, two, three, and then hold them all in her arms.
Each skin has the signatures of the players, which is enough to show off when playing against your friends.
Of course, the skin of the Sword Demon is undoubtedly the most outstanding. A very important point is the sound effects.
The voice of the original Sword Demon is very evil and a bit mean.
As for the skin of Li Hao, the sound effects are extremely domineering, especially when the Great Destruction is activated, huge demon wings instantly appear behind him, and at the same time there are constant special effects of blood feathers falling, and when the Death Sword Qi is poked out, there will be a strong sense of blow and
Sound effects.
all
This skin gives people a domineering and powerful feeling. If the player shows off a little more, it will definitely feel oppressive.
As for the return to the city, the previous throne painting style is continued.
But the difference is that Aatrox will spread his demon wings, fly to the throne in the sky, and return to the city in an instant with his eyes cast down.
For fans who have been waiting for the skin for a long time, this time they should be satisfied. On June 1st, many Hao fans showed off their collections in forums and post bars.
"There are three skins for Sword Saint, Sword Master, Sword Demon, and Brother Hao. I would like to ask, where is Sword Queen? When will Brother Hao gather the Four Swords of Killing Immortals?"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I'll get it this year, mid laner Sword Girl, if you don't give it, I'll give it away."
"There are so many swords here, and the swords here are really good. Any sword can win the championship. It's a pity that some people have their swords broken every year."
"How brave! Yu Jianmen is coming to kill you soon!"
"..."
On June 2, the LCS Summer Split officially begins.
As the mid-season champions, TSM made their debut in the opening game.
The Los Angeles Esports Arena has been trying its best to add seats, but unfortunately, it's to no avail. The enthusiastic audience has easily occupied every corner of the Esports Arena. The same is true in the square outside, with people crowding in front of the big screen.
This is not only the opening of the summer split, but also a celebration of TSM’s championship once again.
Inside and outside the stadium, when the TSM players came on stage one by one, all kinds of cheering objects and flags were flying, and the fans were laughing and shouting with joy, and the crowd was loud!
From far away, you can hear the movement in the e-sports stadium.
Even the players from the Fly team, the opponents of this game, also applauded TSM on the stage.
After the opening ceremony, the Fly team really gave them face. Especially the mid laner P King, whose style is still as good as before.
He selected Jace, who had just been weakened, and fought with Li Hao's mid laner Dao Mei for 23 minutes and 4 seconds.
Huang's recent state has not been very good even in live broadcasts, and he has been very good in professional games. In the whole game, he scored 1/9/2 data.
Some people ridicule that when Brother Ba develops Core processors, he must be called "P Emperor". His I7 and I8 are out of date, and other people's "P Emperor" started with 19.
Brother Ba has thousands of fans.
"Let's play, let's make trouble, don't make fun of bugs!" "When did my brother Ba fall behind?"
"Let BUG and God play against each other and give it a try, and we will directly develop it to the 20th era for you. It's not a shame to leave the L8 and I9 aside!"
However, Emperor P is indeed one of the oldest twelve emperors in North America. This buffet performance made many diners say that it was a great game. Everyone was full and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Li Hao’s sword girl uses Flandre’s champion skin.
In the match between Snake and IG that day, Flandre used the top laner Sword Demon, which was Li Hao’s championship skin.
Looking at each other across the sea, thousands of miles away.
Three years of dynasty companionship has now become an old dream. This can be regarded as a distant echo between the two of them.
The old fans who connected these two games were all in tears.
I don’t know whether they are recalling the three years of that dynasty or their own youth.
Unfortunately, everyone's fate is different.
Snake in the Summer Split seemed to have used up all their experience in the Spring Split. They lost to the strong IG in their first match.
On the LCS side, TSM beat Fly to silence.
In addition to Li Hao, the top brother in the bottom lane also achieved a super record with his wheel mother. With the blessing of the championship, TSM entered the summer split like a tiger out of the cage! On June 3, TSM will fight Fox again.
This time, TSM began practicing a new lineup.
Top laner Kennen, jungler, mid laner Time Old Man, AD Lucian, and support cat. Halfway through the game, the idiot laughed.
Great game between people and horses!
In Cats and Time
With the blessing, the troops kicked the opponent's half-health Rambo to death. The game lasted for nearly 29 minutes, and TSM won the game with a head ratio of 26:9.
Li Hao didn't have many kills, but he used his time to score 20+ assists, which is still shocking.
In the first week of the summer split, TSM's opponent's strength was very average. Even though they had a practice lineup, they easily won.
The LCS audience is very excited, this is the TSM they are looking forward to!
