The LGD Hangzhou Esports Arena is already full of spectators.
Although it is only the play-in stage, this year's mid-season tournament is very popular, especially among domestic players, who are not letting go of the play-in stage.
In addition to the three divisions of LPL, LCK and LCS, the teams from the remaining ten major divisions need to compete in the group and knockout rounds during the play-in stage to determine three promotion places.
Compared with previous years, the biggest change is LMS.
At the end of the 1919 season, after the LMS was disbanded, a new division was established, both PCS and Pacific Division.
The main teams come from China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and several Southeast Asian divisions. The overall layout of the first spring split of this new division this year is actually similar to the previous LMS. Most of the top-ranked teams are former LMS teams. The finals of the spring are Machi
Esports versus Talon Esports, the former is a Taiwanese team and the latter is a Hong Kong team.
TLN went against the trend and defeated the spring regular season leader and finally won the championship.
Most of the players on this team are not familiar to everyone, but the top laner is impressive.
Hanabi!
That's right, it was the copy of Ninja Halabi who was constantly recreating Li Hao's hero pool in Flash Wolves back then!
Lightning Wolf is no longer good, but Harabi is still good.
After the Snakes played against the Flash Wolves that year, when Shi Yizhong shook hands with Halaby, he claimed that he was optimistic about his art. Since then, Halaby was greatly encouraged and has been brimming with energy on the league stage.
Therefore, when Halabi came to China with the TLN team this year, many people joked:
"You are worthy of being a copy ninja. The bonuses are soaring."
In the PCS finals, Halaby used his top laner Silas to score the MVP. After the game, he said very pretentiously in an interview:
"Yes, I also learned to meditate."
"This spring, I used a lot of heroes that The King is good at. This is the strongest way to play."
"So, Snake won the LPL championship, and I was also the Pacific Division champion."
Halabi also meditates?
People don't believe that a person with LokeN's characteristics can continuously achieve undefeated results. Halabi is not that impressive.
The analysis emperors have already explained it in place. Halabi most likely has the blood chakra eye opened, and he is just imitating pseudo-meditation with two or three magatama eyes.
When giving a counterexample, Supervisor Kim of Longcha also mentioned Halabi, saying that it was impossible for him to use The King’s brain network. If The King’s brain network is in the 5G era, then Halabi is in the Nokia era.
However, thanks to his close connection with Shi Yizhong, Halabi is very popular now, and he is a well-deserved star player in the Pacific Division.
This time I went to Hangzhou to play a game, and many domestic spectators came to watch the fun.
Fans of the Optimist Family are quite serious, and they even suggested that management recruit Halabi.
Because what this guy Halabi has done recently is really joyful.
An optimistic family, right? Their combat power is at the back, and happiness is fundamental.
More importantly, I heard...
Harabi's Heavenly Sword plays well.
Damn it, the optimistic family can’t sit still, this is the reason!
Harabi is like a thousand-mile horse, a jade lion that shines at night!
There was no opening ceremony for the qualifying round, and the activities were similar to those of the regular season.
But it is broadcast live globally and can be seen by league viewers in all major competition areas.
Compared with previous years, the popularity of this year's qualifying tournament has already made the league very satisfied.
At five o'clock in the evening, the opening match of the qualifying round started in Group A, with the Latin American champion AK team facing off against the CIS boss UOL.
Many LPL fans are familiar with UOL. This team performed well in the S9 Global Finals.
There was no suspense about the result of the opening match. The CIS defeated AK.
Although the level of the teams in the playoffs was limited, they played in a more organized manner than in the past, and they were not a chaotic battle in the low rankings.
In the second game of the opening game, DFM still played in the Japanese division, facing the Turkish FB team.
This game is more lively.
Japanese top laner Evi came up with a unique skill, the Empire's most dangerous crab.
Fans are very happy in my childhood. The FB top laner Sacre, who looks very old and grown-up, is actually a rookie, and he is beaten by the extremely vicious crab.
The LPL audience watching the show felt pity:
"Xiaotian defeated FB, and Jue Xin Crab performed well, but its overall strength is still a bit behind."
"Yes, it would be interesting if DFM could advance to the group stage!"
"When LPL encounters LJL, he will die early if he doesn't smash their heads in."
"Can DFM work harder? Don't you want to see me, Brother Hao?"
"Look at how crazy the Brazilian competition area next door is. Everyone is a die-hard fan of Brother Hao."
...簝
The KBM team in the spring championship of the Brazilian CBLOL division, as discussed with fans, has the Brazilian midfielder Tutsz, the Brazilian bearded AD player DudsTheBoy, and the Brazilian rookie assistant Ceos. These three are complete fans, and they are leading Brazil
The expectations of the audience in the competition area come to chase the stars.
Since the Olympic Games and the crazy World Championships in recent years, the CBLOL division has been filled with Hao fans, and Ronaldo also added fuel to the fire.
Nowadays, if any e-sports player in the Brazilian region does not know "The King", he may not even be able to enter the team gate.
Teams such as VK, FLA, FUR and even RDP in the Brazilian region attach great importance to The King's template when selecting players.
Therefore, some older players receive preferential treatment in CBLOL.
Many young people will add "The" in front of their personal account IDs, but they dare not add "The" in front of their official competition IDs.
Because the prefix is usually added, it means belief.簝
If you add it during the game and it doesn't work, you will be laughed at.
That's a blasphemy.
This has almost become the tacit culture of current Brazilian e-sports.
For example, DudsTheBoy, the AD player of the KBM team, skillfully added ‘The’ in the middle of his ID. In the ambiguous words of the bearded man, this is called putting God in your heart, so it is in the middle.
It's not offensive and very cool.
As for KBM’s top laner and jungler...
Parang and Wiz are both Korean aids. In jargon, they are Dai.簝
CBLOL hired two thugs who tried to break out of the finals and go to the finals to meet "God".
Once successful, KBM's feat will be written into the history of CBLOL's e-sports.
The Samba people shouted loudly before the game, and everyone knew their purpose.
Therefore, at 8 o'clock in the evening, when KBM played LGC in the Oceania Division, many LPL fans were cheering for the Samba team.
In the 31-minute match, KBM defeated LGC with a head-to-head ratio of 23:5.
This is a good start, LPL players are very happy, they also want to see Snake in KBM.
This is especially true for Brazilian fans. The KBM players on the field won the first game and all of them were waving their arms excitedly.
LPL officials are very good at handling matters and gave KBM mid laner Tutsz an interview immediately after the game.
Asked very formally:
"Tutsz, congratulations on your first Msi victory. Your Syndra is outstanding."
"What goals do you have for participating in the Mid-Season Invitational this time?"
The young man with the flying head in the camera shouted without any hesitation:
"The spring split was a dream for us. We didn't perform well in the regular season, but in the final battle, my teammates and I found the right state, so now we have the opportunity to stand here."
"We all agree that this is the arrangement of God of destiny."
"I just joined the professional league this year. Before that, my wall was covered with posters about The King. I was a fan of his."
"Msi's biggest goal is to enter the group stage and go to the next city. I want to compete with my idols on the court. For me, that is a sacred moment, as solemn as walking into the cathedral with my lover and listening to the priest speak.
.”
"After a big battle, communicating with The King is enough to make the CBLOL mid laners go crazy with jealousy."
Tutsz grinned and showed off: "My good friend NOsFerus, the mid laner of the VK team that ranked first in the spring regular season, was still calling me yesterday."
"If I could meet The King, he would like me to get an autograph for him."
"This is a rare opportunity for KBM and me, and we don't want to leave any regrets on Msi."
"..."
Tutsz openly chased stars during the interview, which made many Hao fans smile knowingly.
It doesn't matter if we win or not, it's a pity not to see Brother Hao.
The attitude of Brazilian CBLOL is so firm.
Look, this is Brother Hao's appearance.
Suddenly, a group of ten-year-old KBM fans emerged and praised Tutsz greatly.
…
At this time, the T1 team, which has arrived in Jinling, is resting in a hotel arranged by Riot.
A team of people stayed neatly in the training room.
The finalist competition is not very valuable, but it is okay for professionals to see the slight impact brought by the version. There are people who can help with trial and error, so of course you have to pay attention.
Captain Teddy clasped his chin, looked at the screen in surprise and said:
"Brother, the attitude of people like KBM is too exaggerated."
The only one left in T1 who can be called brother by the captain is Li Guapi.
"Chencheng, KBM is a Brazilian team, it's not surprising at all."
"If you are confused, you can look at the MSI video in 2017."
Li Guapi felt a pain in his heart when he mentioned this.
Msi in 2017 is also one of his scars.
He has experienced the grand occasion of the Olympic Arena, understands the enthusiasm of Brazilians for e-sports, and can appreciate Li Hao's passion for CBLOL.
If I could have defeated Snake there...
Now, should the Brazilian team worship me?
The powerful demon king was very envious and suddenly became unhappy.
Thinking of that man always makes people irritated.
Especially the recent information on forums such as Inven, Li Guapi noticed that many people are not optimistic about him.
Almost 90% of people believe that he will continue to lose to that guy.
Shivering and cold...
I will stand up and show you this time!
I want to beat that guy!
I want to say when he fails, 'You are old and the future has been taken over by me'.
I also want to give him the Halla Mountain I brought with me when I revisit the Huangpu River!
2020 should be the era of the rise of the devil, and five kills and three stars are the preparatory script!
…
Canna, Cuzz and others could not imagine that the demon king, who looked calm at this time, would be so full of emotions inside.
While fighting his inner demons, Li Guapi created so many scripts.
Li Guapi couldn't help but smile when he fantasized about the beautiful scene.
This scene happened to be seen by the captain and Effort who turned their heads.
Effort asked the captain in a low voice:
"Brother Xiang He seems to be very confident, a little more confident than before. Has he thought of a way to deal with The King?"
The captain touched his chin again, thinking seriously, and then an electric light flashed in his mind.
"I think Brother Xianghe has a great chance this time."
"oh?"
They walked to the water dispenser in tacit agreement and heard the captain beeping quietly:
"Human energy is limited. If the previous The King was single-minded, then Brother Xianghe is multi-tasking."
"Now that Eun-jeong has left Hyung's world, he can gather all his thoughts and deal with The King with a detached attitude. This time, his flaws are far smaller than before."
"An emotionally wounded man threw himself headlong into his career."
"If Brother Sang Hyuk can do it, he will move the LCK."
"So, you will find that during this period, his condition is better than before and he is more focused."
Effort suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up to the captain: "That makes sense."
"Pain and hurt can make people feel difficult and vulnerable, but they can also be a revelation, making a person stronger and wiser."
"In the end, Eun-jung left Sang-hyeok's world, hurting him, but also helping him."
"Brother Xiang He, maybe you got those revelations."
"I noticed some news from the outside world. Some fans said that Faker has truly become perfect this season."
"And the perfect Faker may be able to fight against the perfect TheKing."
The two chatted quietly, and from time to time looked at Li Guapi, who was immersed in his personal world, thinking that he understood this man.
…
"Brother Hao, did you hear what Tutsz said?" Flandre asked.
"certainly."
Li Hao asked: "What do you think he wants to talk to me about?"
“Talk about the future!”
Flandre knew it very well: "Young players like to hear this. Your white lies to them are very useful to them."
"Imagine that the strongest e-sports player in history said to me, the future is yours, and I would be very happy. Just like when you go to the playground to play basketball and someone says you play like Jordan, you will be very happy. The truth is similar.
"
Li Hao pursed his lips and smiled:
"I never admit that it is a white lie. In so many games, I have seen young talents. They have outstanding talents and will definitely become the mainstay of the league in the future."
Uzi came up to him and patted Holy Spear on the shoulder at an inappropriate time:
"I am what he calls the young genius, one foot on the verge of retirement. If I had not come to the Snakes, I would have been exhausted."
"By the way, Xiye Xiaohu and the others also have something to say."
Uzi tried to disrupt the situation, but Holy Spear saw that Brother Hao remained unmoved and looked calm.
His study of "Sun Tian Xue" produced new results.
From May 1st to May 4th, all qualifying matches of Group A and Group B have been played.
Out of eight teams, only two are left.
The promoted teams are KBM and DFM!
Now, the audience is excited.
Because there are three teams that can enter the group stage, Brazil and Xiaori, how come one of them can advance.
The knockout rounds will start on May 7, and the spots will be determined in one day.
On May 6th, Snake received continuous training invitations from three finalist teams. The Snake team had plenty of time and did not refuse any of them.
Except for G2, the remaining two teams did not play well.
Of course, this is in line with their paper strength.
The members of the Snake team did not take it lightly. The opponent played seriously and had a very good attitude.
"Why doesn't DFM ask us to play a training match?"
Flandre's hands are itchy.
Zuo Wu said: "Didn't you see the promotion of Brother Hao in the LJL division?"
"Team Xiaoli is probably afraid of Brother Hao and doesn't dare to invite a fight."
"Animation fans in the LJL forum compared it like this. DFM and PCS division teams playing training matches are equivalent to a group of pirates attacking a small village in the East China Sea. Fighting us is equivalent to a war with the top."
"The circle of LJL is only so big, and the players know it very well."
Xiaohang asked Li Hao: "Brother Hao, who do you think has a better chance of advancing, DFM or KBM?"
This is a serious question. Li Hao responded:
"I know you want to beat up Xiaori, and I want to, but I don't think I have a chance."
"KBM is a mid-career agent. I guess there is no problem with communication within the team. They play in a more organized manner than DFM."
Everyone was a little disappointed.
Zuo Wu said: "There are only a few days left in the group stage. T1 has been working very hard during this period. We cannot rest on our laurels."
"In the opening game, as the host nation, we are the first to play. Everyone should work hard and show good condition."
Li Hao nodded and pointed at the battle uniforms worn by everyone.
"Wearing this dragon-patterned black gold, we should give it glory."
