Four days later, the Chicago Theater in North America will hold the quarterfinals of the 2016 League of Legends Global Finals.
The day after the lottery results came out, no! It should be said that the discussion that night was filled with everyone who likes e-sports.
After their own team helped fans save ticket money by choosing the top eight, the two brothers in the LMS and North American divisions could only look at other divisions with envy and jealousy as they frantically discussed the next top eight matches.
The three bumper cars of the LPL can be said to have broken the hearts of fans.
The most painful thing is the fans of WE. Needless to say, RNG has the best draw. That night, not to mention the players, fans went directly to the roadside barbecue stall and drank beer. There was no champagne and beer to celebrate their advance to the semi-finals.
It's always possible.
As the No. 1 seed, the star players are neither up nor down. Although Samsung is not a good draw, with Pawn and Deft, they are the kind who know the basics. It is embarrassing to lose, and it will be even more embarrassing if it is a civil war.
"It's uncomfortable for Shiitake, why do you treat us WE like this!"
"I'm crying. The worst lottery with the lowest probability happened to us. We finally entered the World Championship against all odds. Damn Riot, they don't like us, WE, right?"
Fans of WE have been lamenting on Weibo or Tieba.
"Hey, Lao Lin, what the hell are you dressing up like?"
Then, I thought that winning four consecutive games in the World Championship and qualifying first in the group with a 5-1 score would be a sign of success.
Kandi's expression successfully made everyone's originally weird atmosphere relax.
Think about what you have experienced over the past three years.
…
Obviously, except for the team leader and coach who knew the inside story in advance, no one else could understand the situation.
If we lose the game later and fans of other teams ask the players to swim home, we can just feed the sharks right where we are.
Now you tell me that if I want to win the championship, I may have to face the pursuit and interception of three Korean teams?
Nakano, who got up late, just walked out of the room and saw a few people quietly sorting out fishing gear.
During the offseason, LPL teams gathered together to keep warm.
Even EDG in the same region, with the Korean team as their common enemy, has made appointments with WE for training matches many times.
During the preparation period for the World Championship, WE, which fell into a state of involution due to Lin Huan's hand injury, can be said to be the team with the most exaggerated training in the League of Legends. Even Mr. Kang, who always likes to go out to jungle, reached the level of system involution in more than a dozen games a day.
As for the required threshold, you can imagine the amount of others. The current WE is no longer able to improve the state in one or two training games. After discussing with the Redmi coach, in addition to maintaining the state in normal training games, relax and train the midfielder and jungler.
Mentality issues have become the top priority.
To defeat the Korean team, individual skills and teamwork are indispensable, and it also needs the support of the players' firm will.
After three years of wasted time, today's WE club is no longer the glorious 60E of the past. The club with few fans and poor fans still avoid having the name of e-sports Wang Jingwei attached to itself.
"Ahem... In the next few days, Luster will take you for special fishing training." Hongmi put her right fist on her mouth, coughed twice, and said with embarrassment, her eyes wandering.
"We won't really have to spend four days fishing at the beach during the offseason from the group stage to the quarterfinals, right?"
The group of people set off towards the fishing spot.
What else can you say to the RNG support team and the stars?
"It's okay. You won the civil war with us?"
Seeing Lin Huan fully armed, Emperor Kang couldn't help but complain.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion and looked at Lin Huan who was packing things aside. Their eyes seemed to say, Brother, are you kidding me?
Riot staff got in touch. A rich North American fan whom Lin Huan gained in the group stage heard about the needs of the WE team and expressed his willingness to help. The team then entered a private island for two days of training.
Fans of Human Nature also purchased additional top-of-the-line computer equipment and installed it on the island because they were worried that it would be inconvenient for the WE team to travel back and forth to the island for additional training.
Early the next morning.
"I'm not, I didn't, you definitely heard wrong."
From the bottom of the league, to the 2.0 combination, it was not easy to see that the Spring and Summer Split points of Hope were enough to qualify for the bubble competition. Then came a fatal day of BO10, and Clustre, the stable player in the team, injured his wrist.
"It seems that classmate Kangdi is very dissatisfied with his training!" Lin Huan packed up his things, raised his head, looked at the aggrieved Kangdi, and said with a kind face.
"fishing?"
After several years of low performance, WE fans are mostly rational and die-hard fans. Of course, they cannot do the same thing as mocking their teammates in their own region during the World Championships.
Lin Huan walked at the end, next to Hongmi on the right. At this moment, Hongmi did not have a tactical notebook that gave the team members a headache. Instead, he was wearing crisp short-sleeved shorts and carrying a bucket of fishing gear.
Lin Huanhe, the team leader of Red Rice, brought a complete set of fishing gear to let all WE members experience what is called "the happiness of a fisherman".
If we don’t intensify our training to deal with ROX in the remaining four days, why don’t you take us to the fans’ private island to be fishermen?
There is naturally a reason for such strange training.
At RNG, Lin Huan clearly felt that the opponent was hiding something, so Hongmi waved his hand and simply let his brother-in-law attack several times without wasting Lin Huan's precious "status maintenance" training time.
In the distance, Kandi and Xiye, two idiots under the tree, looked at the fishing gear in their hands and fell into deep thought.
"Su Hanwei, can't you stay away from me?"
The so-called fishing comes second and meditation comes first.
Although I don’t quite understand what medicine Lin Huan and Coach Hongmi are selling, it’s not a bad thing to be able to enjoy the sun and beach after accepting the arrangement.
ANX on the other side wanted to continue playing training matches with them, but considering that ANX's opponent in the quarterfinals was RNG from the same division, the team leader did not agree.
After everyone had a good night's rest after playing in the group stage, they gathered in an open field outside the island in accordance with Hongmi's regulations.
The kind of courage that one person has to dare to move forward in the face of thousands of troops is the answer to defeating the LCK version.
Unlike other teams, WE only plans to leave for Chicago on the last day.
When Emperor Kang heard this, he waved his hands in panic.
It seems that fishing also belongs to hunting...
San Francisco is a standard coastal city. WE, which won the group stage and emerged first, went to the seaside with the financial support of Mr. Pei.
fishing?
"Special training????"
Of course, it is different from the beach surfing in 2017 in his previous life or Mr. Kang’s imagination of being a beach boy.
"Hahahaha..." "Lin Gou, you must not avenge yourself. I won't catch him during the competition."
If it weren't for his trust in AD, why would the No. 1 jungler in the LPL choose to put down his jungle knife?
"Hey, never mind, others don't enjoy this kind of treatment when traveling at public expense."
Fans of the other two teams don't know how to comfort them. They won the first place in the group two days ago and didn't mock them much.
Meditation training for e-sports anglers!
"Damn, the beach is not your home, why should you tell me to stay away?"
"If you insist on crowding me on such a big beach, I'm afraid someone doesn't know how to play jungle..."
Xiye, who was still an innocent little virgin, blushed.
"You, you, you, you are talking nonsense, you are slandering others, why do you say that I don't know how to play jungle."
