Just when everyone in LGD was looking forward to the announcement of the MVP player, the door of the team lounge was suddenly knocked, and then the familiar host Yu Shuang's smiling face appeared in front of Lu Haoran again.
"Manager Lu, congratulations to LGD for winning six consecutive victories!"
"For today's post-match interview, can I invite you to the stage?"
Yu Shuang widened her sparkling eyes and asked with great desire.
"..."
"It seems that the chance of us meeting is quite high. I remember that after our first game of rng, you were the host after the game, and you also wanted to invite me for an interview."
Lu Haoran curled his lips. He didn't expect that after such a long time, Yu Shuang still hadn't forgotten this matter.
"Hehe, after all, there are not many LPL hosts."
"So Manager Lu, are you willing to be interviewed this time? You rejected me last time because you felt it was not suitable for an interview after winning the first game and you were worried that the audience would complain about it."
"But now that Godfather has won six games in a row, you must be willing to be interviewed, right?"
Yu Shuang showed a cute smile and tried to use coquettishness to get Lu Haoran to agree to her request.
But I never thought that this time, Manager Lu would shake his head again!
"No, no, no, I'm still not suitable for interviews now. After all, it's still early before the playoffs."
"Go and be interviewed now. If you don't perform well in the following games, aren't you waiting to be criticized by the audience?"
"It's better to wait. When the time is right, I will accept the interview again."
Lu Haoran said lightly, once again rejecting Yu Shuang in an understatement.
"The time is right? When is the time right?"
Yu Shuang suddenly showed a bitter look on her face and asked in a very aggrieved tone.
"Champion, when our godfather wins the championship, he will go and be interviewed by you."
"Otherwise, giving an interview before winning the championship will be meaningless no matter what angle you look at it!"
Lu Haoran's sonorous and forceful words gave Yu Shuang a definite "opportunity" and at the same time, he once again consolidated his ultimate goal for the spring competition!
As a last resort, Yu Shuang had to give up the idea of interviewing Manager Lu again and turned around to invite the cutest Xiao Ming in the team.
"Wait a moment, Aunt Yu Shuang, we are waiting for the MVP to be announced."
But Xiao Ming actually gave Yu Shuang a critical hit on the spot. She was so angry that she rolled her eyes, but she couldn't do anything to Xiao Ming.
At this moment, the sound effect of announcing the MVP finally sounded from the TV on the wall of the lounge.
The next moment, the MVP candidate for this game finally appeared!
lgd.godv!
Wei Shen got his wish and won the mvp, g of the second game.
"call!"
"I just said that I must be the MVP in my second game!"
"Although I didn't get many heads, the final decision was for everyone to see!"
Wei Shen breathed a long sigh of relief, then laughed loudly.
"You are deceiving yourself, Wei Shen, you are just deceiving yourself. You must have said hello to the officials in advance, otherwise I think MVP Lang Xing will definitely have a chance."
"That's right, Wei Shen is lucky today, otherwise he would have called us the Great God."
"Wei Shen, for the rest of your life, do you have to treat your brothers to a big dinner tonight?"
Following the announcement of the MVP, everyone immediately worked together to "besiege" Wei Shenlai. For a time, the entire lounge was extremely lively.
"Ahem, okay, okay, everyone, hurry up and pack your things."
"Wei Shen's performance is still very good. Winning MVP is not too much, right?"
"Besides, Wei Shen is your captain after all. If he is really allowed to come to the interview table, he will call me a waste and call you his gods... He has the nerve to shout, but you have the nerve to agree?"
Lu Haoran said bluntly to everyone that although he really wanted to see that funny scene, as a coach, he had to give Wei Shen, the head of LGD, some face.
"Xiao Ming, go interview with Yu Shuang. Remember to call me sister instead of aunt, otherwise someone will beat you up."
After speaking, Lu Haoran urged Xiao Ming again and pointed at a male commentator on the TV, making Yu Shuang's face suddenly turn red.
…
After Xiao Ming completed his post-match interview, the post-match group interview also began soon.
Once again, reporters aimed their long guns and short guns at Lu Haoran, the man behind LGD!
"Manager Lu, in the intra-group competition in Group A, the LGD team hardly conducted any operations, but in today's game against EDG, although LGD's operations were not perfect, their performance was quite good."
"I would like to ask Manager Lu, during LGD's usual training, do you deliberately let the team members practice operations?"
The reporter who first asked the question was like an intelligence spy, asking straight ahead.
"Yes, operations are an indispensable ability for a strong team, so LGD will naturally study operation strategies frequently."
However, there is no need to hide anything about this question. After all, Lu Haoran's answer is actually only "yes" and "no".
"Strong team? After defeating edg today, the LGD team has indeed achieved six consecutive victories and has become the only team with a complete victory."
"However, in today's game, LGD also exposed many problems. If other teams in the future operate better and make fewer mistakes, it will be difficult for the LGD team to continue to win."
"In the future, the LGD team will face the other five strong teams in Group B. How many of them are Manager Lu confident of winning?"
The second reporter asked provocatively.
"Of course it's a total victory."
Lu Haoran smiled and answered quite simply.
"Manager Lu, if the LGD team can really sweep Group B, then you will have at least 11 wins and can lock in a playoff spot. Your minimum guarantee goal at the beginning of the season will be completed."
"So after entering the playoffs, do you have other higher goals? Or does leading the LGD team into the playoffs count as success?"
The third reporter’s question once again attracted the attention of all the reporters. Not to mention how much they wanted to hear Manager Lu make bold statements again. If so, there would be plenty of articles to write in the future!
"Is success considered making it to the playoffs? I've never said that."
"In my opinion, whether it is LGD or other teams, there is only one goal from the first day of entering the LPL league."
"That's the champion!"
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. A team that doesn't want to win the championship is not a strong team. If you don't even have the confidence to win the championship, then you might as well go home and raise pigs and buy meat waffles!"
Lu Haoran said so loudly that all the reporters took a breath. They never expected that not only did they expect Manager Lu's heroic words, but they also waited for such a statement that affected all LPL teams!
This made the reporters overjoyed, because with this sentence alone, they could write no less than 10 press releases!
"This post-game group visit ends here. Finally, I wish the LGD team can achieve ideal results."
Seeing that the reporters were already lowering their heads and writing down something quickly on their notebooks, or typing on the keyboard, and after confirming that no one continued to ask questions, the host ended today's post-match group interview, and then sent all LGD members off.
"Manager Lu, can we really win the championship?"
On the way back to the base, the team members all asked cautiously, but their eyes were full of desire for the championship.
"certainly."
"But the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step."
"Before that, we must play every game well, advance to the playoffs, then the semi-finals, and then the finals and championship!"
"The road is long and long, and I will search for it up and down."
"Although we won today's game, those reporters were right. We did expose some problems."
"So in the next games, I will let you practice through games, and try to make your strengths stronger and make up for your shortcomings before the playoffs begin!"
"In this way, when it comes to the spring finals, the championship will be ours!"
Lu Haoran looked at the five LGD team members with sharp eyes and made a decisive decision.
…
After returning to the base, Lu Haoran took out his mobile phone and took a look. Sure enough, those fast reporters had published their articles on major platforms.
But unlike the previous theme of questioning LGD, this time, more than 80% of the content is praising the strength of the LGD team!
"The biggest dark horse in the Spring Split—lgd!"
"Sending edg their first defeat! LGD's six consecutive wins!"
"LGD is the strongest team in LPL!"
"New player? First-class player! Manager Lu is the god of drawing cards!"
"Can we defend the glory of Yusanjia?"
…
After seeing these articles, Lu Haoran smiled knowingly and did not feel any surprise.
After all, e-sports strength speaks for itself. Before the team achieves good enough results, the audience will question, ridicule, and deny LGD. Even if they want to object, they can only endure it.
And now, when LGD has won six consecutive victories and has become the only undefeated team in the entire LPL, even if they don't say anything themselves, someone will speak for them and recognize their strength!
Of course, not everyone is willing to admit the strength of the LGD team, especially fans of the other five teams in Group B who have not yet played against LGD.
In their opinion, as long as their respective teams make complete preparations before the game and designate sufficient combat strategies, then this LGD team can definitely defeat it!
And that’s exactly what the major teams did.
In order to defeat the LGD team and interrupt their winning streak, the remaining five teams all conducted all-round research on the LGD team, making it more difficult for the LGD team to win!
On March 5th, the LGD team’s second different group match was against the slightly weaker GT team in Group B.
LGD fans thought they could easily win today's game, but they never imagined that they were caught off guard in the first game.
Jin Gong, the top laner of the gt team, was like a god of war in this game. He directly attacked the wolf line in the lane, and then radiated his top lane advantage to the entire game, and finally won the first game.
Fortunately, the LGD team quickly adjusted and finally succeeded in making a comeback from one to two.
But the GT team's small victory gave other teams a clearer reminder.
That is, although the new top laners of the LGD team are very strong, as long as their own players perform better than them, LGD players can make mistakes under heavy pressure.
On March 12, the LGD team played against the QG team. The LGD team lost 1-2 to EDG, suffering its first defeat in the spring split. The metaphysics of "seven kills will lead to death" was finally revealed to the LGD team.
In this game, it's not that LGD didn't play well, it's that qg team played too well.
The roaming of qg mid laner doinb and his midfield linkage with jungler clid caused tons of trouble for the LGD team!
Moreover, even if Lu Haoran told them how to deal with doinb's wandering during the intermission, they could not stop it during the actual battle.
After Lu Haoran's targeted training and adjustments to the players, on March 16, the lgd team played against the vg team and finally won again with a score of 2-0.
On March 18th, they fought hard for three games and defeated the nb team with a score of 2-1.
But on March 25, when facing the last Yusanjia WE team, in the face of the WE team's more terrifying operational capabilities, the LGD team still suffered its first 0-2 defeat this season!
This kind of record is not good for the fans of the LGD team, and they are even worried about the team because of the three losses in different teams.
But in fact, all members of the LGD team took the failure of the game quite calmly, because they all knew that it was impossible for a team to win all the time.
Losing the game, discovering problems, and solving them are actually a good thing for a team that needs to get stronger and stronger!
After the confrontation between different groups, Lu Haoran did find many problems with the LGD team. From laning to fighting, from the jungle to operations, almost every detail had more or less problems that needed to be solved urgently.
So after returning to compete in the same group, Lu Haoran continued to implement the concept of "training through competition" into the last five games.
Although they lost to RNG at the beginning, allowing them to complete their revenge, in the subsequent four games, LGD continued to complete a double kill against the other four teams in Group A!
So, on April 16, when the last match day of the 2017 lpl spring regular season officially ended, the final regular season rankings of the two groups ab were officially released!
First is group A.
First place, lgd team, record 12-4!
Second place, rng team, record 11-5!
Third place, omg team, record 8-8!
Fourth place, ig team, record 8-8!
Fifth place, Team IM, record 5-11!
Sixth place, snake team, record 4-12!
Then there is group B.
First place, edg team, record 12-4!
Second place, Team WE, record 12-4!
Third place, qg team, record 9-7!
Fourth place, nb team, record 6-10!
Fifth place, vg team, record 5-11!
Sixth place, GT team, record 4-12!
The top four teams in each group of AB will all have the opportunity to advance to the playoffs. As for the bottom two teams, they will need to play in the promotion and relegation rounds.
At the same time, although the playoff schedule will not be released on the same day, the four teams that will compete in each half of the playoffs have been finalized!
The four teams lgd, we, omg, and nb are in one and a half zones!
The four teams of edg, rng, qg and ig occupy one and a half zones!
In other words, in the upcoming spring playoffs, the LGD team sitting in the semi-finals will face the only opponent WE team that lost 0-2 in the entire regular season!
On the other side, the rng team will once again face the pig-dog battle with the edg team!
This means... starting from the semi-finals of this playoffs, there will be exciting battles that are as exciting as the finals!
(It’s confirmed, 51 will be released on the shelves, and the minimum update will be 20,000 on the day it is released, and it will start to be 10,000 per day after that!)
