"I didn't expect that the lgd team would show no mercy at all when facing a new team like the dan team."
"At 15 minutes and 34 seconds, the lgd team directly pushed the dan team's base crystal!"
"If I remember correctly, this time has already created history in our LPL professional league, becoming the fastest game to end the battle!"
When the first game of the opening game ended suddenly with such lightning speed, the two of them congratulated each other, but they were completely confused.
I never expected that the first game of the new season would become a record-breaking game for the LGD team!
The fans of the LGD team at the scene kept exclaiming, not only because the LGD team made history, but also because the LGD team's good start showed that they are in good shape in the new season.
If this continues, this summer championship may still be in the possession of the LGD team!
"The mood of the players on the dan team seems to be a little unstable. It feels like all five of us are a little dazed."
"There's nothing I can do about it. If I were a player on the dan team and I finally made it up from the secondary league, I was thinking of entering the playoffs directly in the first season, but I ended up getting killed in the first game!"
"Although their opponent, the LGD team, is the spring champion and MSI champion, the dan team didn't even have a chance to make 20 shots. This is really uncomfortable."
"Is this the welcome ceremony prepared by the LGD team for the Dan team? Let the Dan team truly understand what the strength of LPL is."
"Now the pressure is on the rng team. If they win the next game too slowly against the sng team, or even lose the game, then they will be embarrassed."
The two of them, Wawa Miller, didn't mind the excitement and didn't say too many good things for the dan team.
After all, to become a professional player, the ability to adjust your mentality is also very important. If the dan team's self-confidence collapses just because of a defeat in a game, it can only mean that such professional players are not fully mentally prepared.
In the next second game, all LPL viewers witnessed the growth of the dan team.
After experiencing a defeat in the first game, the Dan team did not give up in the second game, but continued to resist tenaciously.
Although they lost the second game again, they not only persisted for 20 minutes, but even persisted for 25 minutes!
This kind of dan team really has a promising future!
As for the winner of the opening game, the LGD team was naturally extremely happy. At the same time, in the post-game news interview, Lu Haoran once again announced the LGD team’s ultimate goal for the summer split.
That's the championship!
…
But before winning the summer championship, the LGD team also has the opportunity to win another championship trophy.
That is the first intercontinental competition officially organized by Riot Games!
In order to increase communication and confrontation between major competition regions, Riot Games added the intercontinental competition as an e-sports event in 2017. Each continent will invite battles from different competition regions for confrontation and exchanges.
The Asian Division Intercontinental Tournament invites teams from three divisions, namely the lpl league, lck league and lms league.
From July 6 to 9, 2017, the Asian Competition will compete fiercely in Kaohsiung City, Bay Area. Four teams will participate in each division to compete for the title of the strongest division!
The quotas for the twelve teams in the three major regions have been determined based on the final rankings of the Spring Split.
lpl division, lgd team, rng team, we team and edg team.
lck division, skt team, kt team, gen team and mvp team.
LMS division, fw team, ahq team, jt team and m17 team.
In the first intercontinental competition, all competition regions attach great importance to it, and the same applies to the lpl division, so that in the entire June schedule, the competitions of the four teams that need to participate are concentrated in the first half of June.
As for the second half of the month, there are few games, and the main time is used for training, training for the intercontinental competition!
During this period, LPL officials even issued a proposal, hoping that the four teams could train together and select a head coach to be responsible for the planning and coordination of the entire intercontinental version.
As for the important responsibility of the head coach, it fell on Lu Haoran.
…
"As we all know, our LGD team won the championship in MSI, which made many LPL viewers see the hope of our LPL."
"So in the next intercontinental competition, we must represent the lpl and win the intercontinental championship. We must not let the audience be disappointed again just after seeing hope!"
On June 30, one week before the start of the Intercontinental Tournament, the coaches of the four teams gathered together and began to discuss the strategies and tactics for the upcoming Intercontinental Tournament.
But before the formal discussion, Lu Haoran said these words categorically, making every coach feel a heavy responsibility on their faces.
They naturally knew what Lu Haoran meant specifically. After all, before this, lpl had experienced what the audience called the darkest moment.
Now, the LGD team has finally brought a glimmer of light to the LPL division. How can they be willing to let the LPL return to darkness?
As for how to win the intercontinental championship?
It's very simple to say, that is, every team needs to work harder to win every battle!
The rules of the intercontinental competition are very simple, that is, crazy bo1.
The two days of July 6th and 7th are considered as the group stage. The twelve teams from the three divisions will compete twice with the teams with the same ranking in other divisions according to their respective rankings in the division.
Winning will result in 1 point, while failure will result in no points. After the two-day group stage, the division with the most points will automatically enter the finals on the last day, while the second and third divisions will need to compete in the semi-finals on the 8th.
It seems that the rules of the competition system are quite complicated, but in fact, for each battle, the intercontinental competition is very simple.
As long as the LPL team can directly take first place in the group, they will only need to play three games at most to end the four-day intercontinental competition.
"Every game in the group stage is very important, so in the next time, I hope everyone will join me in carefully studying all eight teams in other divisions."
"In this way, each team will have more battle ideas when it officially faces the opponent it needs to fight."
Lu Haoran looked at the three coaches and said seriously that in order to help the lpl division win the intercontinental championship, he was even willing to take the initiative to reveal some understanding of the version that was nearly a month in advance!
Fortunately, the three coaches were very cooperative, and they also did not hide anything. They provided a lot of tactical understanding during the training. This made the training situation of the four teams very good, and made everyone full of excitement for the upcoming intercontinental competition.
confidence.
…
Although you still need a pass to go to Bayan Province, there is no jet lag after all, so the four teams just arrived in Bayan Province one day early.
After staying at the hotel, I didn’t go on a trip or anything, so I started training again, and at the same time cooperated with the officials to shoot some videos again.
In the interview videos, the content of the interviews between the SKT team and the Flash Wolves team is almost exactly the same.
They said that although they lost to the LGD team in the MSI two months ago, they will definitely defeat the LGD team in the intercontinental competition and avenge themselves!
But for Lu Haoran and all the players of the LGD team, such cruel words are tantamount to incompetence and rage in their hearts.
So in the interview video of the LGD team, Lu Haoran said this.
Since the LGD team is now the world champion, teams in other divisions should stop trying to beat them. Now, the only team that has a chance to beat the LGD team can only appear in the LPL division!
Although this sentence lowers one's status a bit, it actually elevates the status of the LPL division in disguise.
Because according to Lu Haoran, the lpl division has become the first division in Asia, which is also the first division in the world!
However, in the intercontinental competition, the competition is not the strength of one team, but the overall strength of the entire division.
If the lgd team defeats the first place in the other two divisions, but we, rng and edg lose to their opponents, then it still means that the lpl division is not as good as lck, or even worse than lms.
However, such a thing is absolutely impossible to happen to the LPL team!
On July 6th, the 2017 Intercontinental Asian Competition finally officially opened!
In the first game, Team JT, ranked third in the LMS division, faced off against Team L, and Team Gen won easily.
In the second game, the edg team, the fourth place in the lpl division, faced off against the mvp team, the fourth place team in the lck division, and the edg team won with difficulty!
In the third game, Team L played against Team We, the third ranked team in LPL. Although Team We worked very hard, they still lost to Team Gen.
In the fourth game, the edg team ranked fourth in lpl played against the m17 team ranked fourth in lms. The edg team unexpectedly lost to the m17 team.
In the fifth game, the second-placed ahq team in LMS played against the second-placed rng team in lpl. The rng team defeated the ahq team with difficulty.
In the sixth game, the FW team ranked first in LMS faced off against the SKT team ranked first in LCK. The SKT team won easily.
…
On the first day of the game, lpl's 2 wins and 2 losses poured cold water on the heads of all lpl spectators who were aiming to win the championship.
I thought that after the LPL division had a group of dark horses like the LGD team, its overall strength would definitely improve a lot.
But judging from the results of the first day of the game, the LPL division is clearly still the same LPL division that is at the mercy of others, but the strength of the LGD team has raised the LPL division to a level that does not belong to them!
Although after the first day of competition, the LMS division had 1 win and 3 losses, which looked even more rubbish than the LPL division.
But on the first day, LMS played all teams from LCK. For the LPL division, tomorrow's game is the most difficult battle!
And just when all LPL viewers came to the second day's game with the mood of "the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment", the performance of the LGD team finally gave them reassurance.
In the first game, the lgd team easily defeated the fw team, and Xiaoning once again brutally beat Casa!
But the effect of this reassurance is only as long as one game...
Because in the second game that followed, the edg team, a battle between insiders and outsiders, once again lost to the third-place jt team in the LMS division.
The good news is that in the third game, the mvp team defeated the m17 team, allowing the lpl division to retain the chance of second place in the group.
But the bad news is that in the next fourth game, the ahq team defeated the kt team unexpectedly, completing all the group matches in the LMS division and setting their final score at 4-4.
Therefore, the focus of all competition areas was once again fixed on the last game, the game between the LGD team and the SKT team.
If the LGD team defeats the SKT team, the LPL division can still complete the group stage with a record of 4-4, and the LGD team can also become the last fig leaf of the LPL division.
But if the LGD team does not defeat the SKT team this time, then the LPL division, which ended the intercontinental group stage 3-5, will become the weakest division in Asia and become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world!
…
"How are you? Are you stressed?"
In the backstage lounge of the lpl competition area, Lu Haoran asked with a chuckle.
At this time, the atmosphere in the lounge was still very solemn, because the players from the other three teams were in a very serious mood, and they all looked serious and seemed to be in a very remorseful state.
There is no way around this. After all, they have been preparing for the intercontinental competition for a long time, and they have even decided not to win the intercontinental competition. g.
But now, if the LGD team also loses to the SKT team, then it is really possible for them to complete the feat of crossing the bay and strait.
"It depends on where the pressure is."
Xiao Ning whispered, feeling a little speechless.
"There is definitely no pressure when playing against SKT. After all, they are already defeated by us, so they are not afraid at all."
"The problem is that the state of this group of people puts too much pressure on me. I feel like if we can't win, they will jump off the building on the spot."
Xiao Ning pouted, feeling helpless. He never expected that his own people would put so much pressure on themselves when the enemy did not put too much pressure on them!
"Actually, there's no need to be nervous. After all, even if we lose, we can still play in the semifinals tomorrow."
"Of course, I don't mean that we will lose, we are just playing a bo1 with skt."
"In skt, bo5 is not easy to win, but bo1 is not easy to win?"
Lu Haoran chuckled and said, I heard that the SKT team claimed before the game that the next game would be the sixth game of the MSI finals and wanted to tie the final score with the LGD team at 3-3.
But in Lu Haoran's opinion, after this game, the score between them and the SKT team will be rewritten to 4 to 2!
"Let's go, let's go on stage, let's fight quickly."
"Even if LCK has made it to the finals, we still have to beat SKT to make us doubt our lives!"
Wei Shen gritted his teeth and said, and then, under the leadership of Lu Haoran, everyone in the LGD team got up together and walked out of the lounge.
"Come on, Godfather!"
"We must win!"
"You are the last and only card in LPL!"
When taking the field, the players from the other three teams also shouted their cheers.
Lu Haoran responded with a polite smile, but was speechless and choked in his heart.
The competition is not going well, come on first place...Does our LGD team need you to cheer up? You have this time, why not train more and prepare in advance for tomorrow's semi-finals!
