After Chen Lang and his entourage boarded the plane, Ivy League officials quickly sent a group photo of the players to the editor for them to write the news.
In addition to the group photo, players from the four teams took a group photo together.
The CP player is in the middle, which is the C position.
As two-time champions of S and MSI, both qualifications and honors belong to them.
Then the three teams of RNG, IG and WE surrounded them.
LPL goes to intercontinental competition!
For Tengjing, they very much hope to win this championship.
Because this is a division honor.
Even though they have won the S Championship twice, there are still many voices from the outside world saying that LCK is the first division.
The LPL championship is only due to CP. Only CP is a strong team, and other teams are not good.
Then I used the results of the S5 and S6 World Championships to prove it.
Except for CP, no team can break through the top four!
This proves the weakness of the LPL division in disguise.
The LCK side also has this idea, and they are also very eager to win this intercontinental championship.
After all, they have lost to CP in international competitions, and their only chance of winning is to rely on their overall strength to defeat their opponents.
The intercontinental competition is a very rare opportunity.
Therefore, when Riot proposed the idea of a continental tournament at the beginning of the season, the LCK side raised their hands in approval.
CP has won all the championships in the past two years. Chen Lang is like a mountain pressing on the hearts of all the players, making it difficult for them to breathe and giving them huge pressure.
And this intercontinental competition is a rare opportunity.
The LMS division also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to win the game.
"There is only one goal, the championship!"
After getting the photo, Tengjing's editor quickly posted the article.
Several editors edited different copywriting and published it, and soon more e-sports editors on various platforms began to copy and forward it.
The interest in the intercontinental competition has increased instantly.
Before this, everyone was discussing this matter.
And when the intercontinental competition is about to begin, the audience is still looking forward to it.
"Brother Lang is so handsome, firmly in the C position!"
"Why is Brother Gouzi at the back? Isn't this for UZI and Chen Lang to be together as official Sima?"
"It's so funny, Xiye's hairstyle is really stupid."
"JackeyLove's head is so big, it blocks the rookie behind~"
"Brothers, I have a hunch that we will definitely win the Intercontinental Tournament. EDG didn't go!!!"
"What you said above is right. Not only did EDG not go, but they also got an extra spot for other teams. If they win the intercontinental competition this time, EDG will have contributed."
"Yes, every event that EDG participates in will cause crotch tightening. It's very important that EDG didn't go there."
In addition to expressing their support for the intercontinental competition, netizens also stepped on EDG.
The main reason is that EDG had many black spots before, and the official has always created a "pig-dog war" in the past, so fans of the two groups have never dealt with it.
This time, UZI's RNG team went to the Intercontinental Championship, but EDG was unable to go. Naturally, Uzi fans would not miss this opportunity to mock the factory director.
Just like when EDG participated in the World Championship, UZI was watching the game at home and was ridiculed by the opponent's fans.
Fans of both parties are used to this kind of behavior.
It's like the habitual behavior of "Come here, put the incense stick before leaving"...
I have to say that the performance of S6 Director in the World Championship is really hard to describe.
Therefore, after EDG returned to China, he was often ridiculed.
Being kicked as a ball by Little Peanut's blind monk, and even being stepped on by a horse with flying arrows...
There are too many elements, and the audience said that they didn’t even need to eat to watch him operate, and they felt full immediately.
This is a foreign invasion.
The internal worry is that deft and pawn left EDG, which also took away some fans.
Then there was a conflict between EDG team fans and the factory director's fans. The director's public remarks also caused him to be criticized by many netizens.
After all, we are teammates who have won championships together, how can we burn bridges and burn rivers?
Under the circumstances of internal and external troubles, EDG's public opinion will naturally not be good.
When they failed to make the cut for this intercontinental competition, many netizens laughed at them.
The official Weibo of the League of Legends posted a photo of everyone together with the text "Let's go, Kaohsiung!"
Countless netizens have left messages below to cheer for LPL.
The intercontinental competition is the only one that abandons the results of the club and only looks at the honor of the division.
Therefore, if the four teams of CP, RNG, IG, and WE can win the intercontinental championship, this will be a proper regional honor.
For IG and RNG, this is also the honor they need most.
WE, also a member of Yusanjia, had very good results in the early years and also won international championships.
This time is the best chance for the other two teams to break through the team's history.
Although RNG is inherited from the previous Royal Family, the team names are different after all, so they certainly cannot directly inherit the results.
RNG formed this lineup just for results and championships.
Although we haven't won the championship in the past two years, at least we can see opportunities.
If you can win the intercontinental championship, it will be an honor to some extent.
Although they do not belong to a certain team, they can still receive praise and honor for participating in it.
Unlike IG and RNG, WE had glory in its ancestors, but the performance of WE after the reorganization has dropped a lot.
The most recent one is the IEM championship that has been banned.
This can also be regarded as WE's final glory.
Now, with the WE2.0 reorganization, WE is eager to recreate its glory.
Except for CP, the other three teams attach great importance to this intercontinental competition.
Not only is this their chance to wash away their shame, but it is also their closest chance to win the championship!
With CP here, as long as they don't hold back, it will be easier for them to win the championship.
The intercontinental competition is different from other competitions. As long as you reach the semi-finals, you need to think mentally.
The coach will arrange different teams to compete.
So, this requires strategy.
When the points are equal, CP will become a very critical link.
The semi-finals and finals will adopt the BO5 relay format. The semi-finals will be held between the second and third-placed teams in the group stage, while the finals will be held between the first-placed team in the group stage and the winning team in the semi-finals.
The order of the semi-finals and finals is determined by the coaches of both teams. This is not only a competition in terms of team strength, but also a psychological game between the coaches and the divisions. It feels a bit like "Tian Ji Horse Racing".
If strong enemies are dealt with by CP, they can win the championship.
What teams such as IG need to do is win as many opponents as possible in the BO1 group stage and then advance to the semifinals.
When arranging team games, LCK will have to consider the CP situation to arrange opponents to play.
There was a lot of noise online, and the contestants were resting on the plane at this time.
He said he was resting, but he wasn't resting at all.
Everyone was excitedly discussing matters related to the competition.
He is also talking about the current version of heroes and his own opinions.
For example, is it better to be a mid laner like Syndra, who has a core development core, or Ryze, who has a strong ganking ability?
Xiaohu and Rookie were still arguing, while the others watched the fun.
They didn't ask Chen Lang because Chen Lang said everything was good...
Chen Lang's words are of little reference. After all, his strength is higher than theirs, and his playing style is also fundamentally different.
RNG and IG are actually somewhat similar, except that one guarantees the top and the other guarantees the bottom.
Rookie is a weakened version of Chen Lang, so his hero selection should be similar to Chen Lang.
However, he can't play the role of warrior hero, and wandering feels weird.
That's why he was discussing with Xiaohu.
The rookie saw that a player as strong as Chen Lang was not the main lane player, so he began to change his playing style and slowly adapted to roaming.
The flight from Pudong to Kaohsiung is very fast and can arrive in two hours.
Therefore, the players did not rest along the way, chattering and discussing like sparrows.
Since it is a small passenger plane, half of the crew is chartered by them, and it is surrounded by staff, so there is no disturbance to residents.
Riot Games gave the four LPL teams two floors of a hotel on a two-person basis. After all, Kaohsiung is considered a big city, so there are no big problems with hotel facilities.
"The weather here is too humid."
Chen Lang quickly turned on the air conditioner to dehumidify. From the moment he got off the plane to the moment he checked into the hotel, the sweat on his back didn't stop.
Kaohsiung, located in Tainan, determines from its geographical location that both temperature and air humidity are more exaggerated than Shanghai.
Chen Lang looked back at Xiaotian who was squatting on the ground and opening his suitcase, and found that he was much more exaggerated than he was.
The slightly long hair hangs down on the scalp, and the bangs are plaited as if they have been soaked in water.
"I can't stand it anymore, let's take a shower first!"
Seeing his appearance, Chen Lang felt uncomfortable all over, so he went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.
"Hurry up and wash it, I'm covered in sweat!" Xiaotian shouted.
Since he had rinsed his body in the morning, Chen Lang spent a quarter of an hour washing off the sweat before rushing out.
Xiaotian grabbed his shorts and rushed inside.
Chen Lang blew his hair and clicked on his phone. Under the leadership of the official, the four teams set up a large group chat with all the people in it.
Just now, Bai Yueya notified everyone to have a meeting in the training room arranged by Riot Games.
"The notice said that there is a meeting. Xiaotian, I will go first. After you wash up, just go up the hotel elevator and go to the conference room No. 1 on the ninth floor!"
This meeting is not a meeting of a single team.
It was a meeting attended by four LPL teams.
After all, the intercontinental competition is a regional competition, and everyone must participate in the discussion.
Including tactical arrangements, pre-match mobilization...
When the players went to their rooms to take a shower and pack their luggage, the staff was arranging a training area.
This conference room is their usual training and meeting venue.
"Everyone, find a seat and sit down. We will arrange the training place for each team in a while."
Although four teams train in one conference room, they are also divided into different places to identify different teams.
Of course RNG players have to be together, there is no way they can mix and match with IG...
"Let's talk about it first, the group stage will start in a few days."
"Before this, all daily training will be conducted here, each team will play frequent training matches, and then our coaching team will review the results together."
"Help each team identify the problem, and then explain it systematically to try to solve the problem as soon as possible."
They are all relatively big problems, such as some matters regarding the hero pool, which cannot be solved in a short time.
After all, training a hero takes time.
Not everyone can practice it so quickly.
It only focuses on solving the problems that are most likely to occur with the team's rhythm and players.
For example, if UZI likes to press the line, you need to see in the training match at which time point he is most likely to make a rash advance and get caught.
"The coaching teams of our four teams will share data and tactical systems."
Bai Yueya spoke alone, while the coaches of the other three teams were listening below like the players.
After all, White Crescent just won the championship in the mid-season, so as the leader of the official roll call, there is no problem for him at this time.
There was an interpreter beside Hongmi who whispered in his ear what White Crescent Moon said.
The small meeting ended quickly, just a simple mobilization.
"You guys should familiarize yourself with your position in the afternoon, play in rankings and find your form, and we'll start the training match in the evening."
Players from each team will start training in ranked positions according to the arranged positions.
The time from afternoon to evening is for the players to adapt to the new environment.
After dinner in the evening, the training match officially started.
The first ones to appear are CP and RNG.
Because the rhythm of IG is relatively similar to that of CP, the training matches of these two teams are deliberately staggered, and there will be less games.
Only when playing against teams with different rhythms and tactical systems will it be easier to expose problems on both sides.
Players from the IG and WE teams did not train simultaneously, but watched the game between RNG and CP from behind.
After the game is over, the coach and players will review the game together, and then IG and WE will play again.
It can be regarded as finding some problems and letting them solve them.
The first half of the night is a training match within the competition area, and the second half of the night will be a training match with teams from outside the competition area.
Behind Chen Lang stood the largest number of players.
For a player like Rookie, Chen Lang's first-person perspective is very precious.
If you have the opportunity, you won't miss it.
Watching the first-person perspective, it is easiest to see Chen Lang’s playing style and ideas.
The training match ended quickly, and within 15 minutes RNG was already at a 2000 economic disadvantage.
Chen Lang's Kled not only killed Xiaohu once in the lane, but also helped his teammates in ganks repeatedly.
Moreover, this time Chen Lang brought TP instead of Ignite.
Because, Xiaohu’s choice is Card Master and he wants to play support with Chen Lang.
Chen Lang knew that it was difficult to kill cards, so he simply chose to bring teleportation for support.
Rookie looked at Chen Lang's game with a solemn expression.
He found that Chen Lang combined gank and laning almost perfectly.
Even if he wandered away, he didn't fall too many knives.
Instead, Tiamat is used to continuously clear mlxg's F4.
There is no card behind Xiaohu in terms of last hit count, and his record also has more assists.
The advantage is built up bit by bit in this way.
Then there is the handling, operation and top-notch awareness of team battles.
The goal is very clear, and he uses the opponent's skills to the maximum to dodge and kill UZI, making it impossible for him to escape even if he flashes!
The time to return to the city is not necessarily the time when the equipment is stuck, but to wait for the artillery soldiers to appear and return to the city.
Block the troop line in the middle, and the artillery troopers are very tough and will be difficult to kill for a while.
In this way, even if the other party wants to push the line, it will take a certain amount of time.
At that time, Chen Lang had already come out of his home and was able to minimize the number of soldiers killed by the defense tower.
