"I didn't expect to meet you here. What a surprise."
Xiye was very surprised when she saw Rookie.
We and CP came to Wuhan together, mainly buying group tickets to make the air tickets cheaper.
One ticket may be a little cheaper, but dozens of tickets can be a lot cheaper.
As we all know, WE has always been a very "poor" club, so the leader of the WE team specially discussed with Guo Hao to come to Wuhan together.
All aspects of accommodation are arranged by the alliance, so it doesn't cost much.
If you can save, save, this is our label.
"Although we lost, we hope to keep the championship in LPL this year." Rookie said with a smile.
Unlike many foreign players who come to LPL to make money, Rookie is relatively dedicated to Han Yuan.
In the past few years at IG, I have been serving as the dean.
When he joined ig as a bonus from kakao, his salary was very low.
This year, Principal Wang specially gave Rookie a maximum salary, which can be regarded as recognition of him.
It is not easy to be the dean of IG in the past few years. Rookie himself has a very cheerful personality, which makes Principal Wang very happy. If he doesn't get the maximum salary, who will get the maximum salary?
"With your help, I'll be sorry if I don't win the championship this year!" Xiye said with emotion.
Thanks to the intercontinental competition, the teams participating in the competition have a very harmonious relationship with each other.
Therefore, in order to keep the championship in lpl, lpl specially found several clubs and players, and asked them to help train the three teams competing in s7.
Playing training matches with outside teams may still reveal some tactics and BP routines.
Even though the teams scheduled to fight may not meet in the front and may only meet in the middle or second half of the event, there will eventually be a time when they meet.
But training within the LPL team means that all kinds of tactics and routines will never be known to others, let alone be penetrated by other teams!
For the achievement of three consecutive championships, lpl has spent a lot of money.
"There are a few people who are coming later, but we are the first ones to arrive." doinb smiled like a monkey.
"It's a bit awesome." jackeylove said.
The sparring group for this LPL is very large, with 15 people!
In other words, three teams can be formed separately!
This is consistent with the three teams that went on the expedition, and the official did not miss any team.
Moreover, the 15 players in the sparring group can also freely form a team to compete against Chen Lang and others, which can greatly ensure the standard of training matches.
The whole ig team came, and then omg sent sz and hackers (h4b was in jdg.
Not every team plays as a whole team, some players are willing to come because of personal relationships.
No matter what, Chen Lang and others admire these players who are willing to come all the way to Wuhan to help them with sparring when they could have rested at home.
lwx, pyl, xiaoal (wolf line)......
"The top lane position is really cool~" Brother Shengqiang said with a smile.
"The top bot laners are also here." jackeylove joked: "They don't want us to be comfortable in the training matches, they want to defeat us."
Di nodded and said: "But this training method definitely works!"
Chen Lang looked at the players who came for training and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, you are greater than us."
They are advancing to the World Championships, so they train hard in order to achieve better rankings and honors.
But the players who come for sparring are different. They act completely spontaneously.
There is no salary and no vacation. During this period, the training is also very tiring.
In fact, as a professional player, you don't have much vacation time throughout the year. You have to play in the spring and summer splits all the time. It's hard to get a chance to take a vacation. It is indeed very noble to not enjoy the vacation to help other teams train for free.
"Let's make progress together." Rookie smiled.
"You are the three strongest teams in the LPL. We will gain something by playing with you."
doinb immediately said: "Yes, we also want to get good results next year and try to go to the S competition to see the scenery."
"It will happen, come on." Chen Lang nodded.
Rookie laughed and said: "Let's work together!"
They are one step away from the World Championship this year, and Rookie is actually very satisfied with this lineup.
At least the lineup is much better than the previous two years, and the potential is much greater.
As long as they are equipped with an excellent bottom lane, Rookie believes that ig will definitely take off next year.
Participating in training is not without its benefits. If you build a good relationship with the players, you might be able to recruit one next year~
theshy smiled at Chen Lang and said: "This year I will accompany you to participate in the S competition~"
Last year, theshy, Chen Lang and others were teammates. They participated in the S6 World Championship together and won the championship.
This year is the first time they have separated, and while he failed to enter the World Championship, Chen Lang and others are aiming for three consecutive championships.
Theshy still hopes that Chen Lang and his team can succeed. After all, they have been teammates together for two years, and he definitely hopes that his old teammates can win the championship.
"You will also have a chance next year." Chen Lang patted theshy on the shoulder and smiled.
The entire ig team is here, and the top laner is theshy. For the three LPL teams, theshy is still very strong in the top lane.
This will particularly improve their tactics or BP on the road.
Moreover, the biggest problem of ig is that the bottom lane combination is not strong, and the top, middle and jungle strength is definitely among the top in lpl.
This time the sparring team comes over, sz and pyl can be paired with ig's midfielder and midfielder for training, then ig will be fully integrated.
By making up for the last shortcoming, ig's overall strength will become very terrifying.
Although omg was eliminated early this season, sz is definitely in the first-line AD ranks, and his personal strength has reached its peak.
In other words, if he is not in omg but in ig, then we may not be able to get the third seed seat.
The players from the two teams plus the training team were so large that they were very conspicuous when walking together.
When we left the door, many fans were already waiting to pick us up.
The players' itinerary will be pushed through the official blog, so some true fans will choose to wait for the players at the airport.
Because this allows you to get close to the players, not only to chat, but sometimes to sign autographs and take photos.
After all, they are professional players, and their popularity and celebrity are far apart, so the gap between everyone is not deep and there are many opportunities for communication.
Many local fans from Wuhan came. Many fans who picked up the game asked for the autographs of several players and took photos with them.
Although you may only be a fan of one person, in this case you will definitely need several copies!
If you can get two but only have one, what else is it stupid?
"It's so hot. If we continue to be stuck like this, I'm afraid we'll have to eat dinner."
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we got off the plane. It was already 3:30 after we picked up our luggage and picked it up until we arrived at the exit gate.
Fans who came from afar to pick them up at the airport welcomed them. It was not too much to ask for autographs and photos, so the players naturally tried their best to satisfy them.
But these all take time.
By the time they left the airport and it was approaching rush hour after get off work, time had passed.
"Eat?" jackeylove immediately became energetic when she heard about eating.
"I know where the food is delicious. Shall we get together today?"
Xiye immediately threw away the Wangzai milk in her hand, and then said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, let's go together~"
"We even have to eat together!?" Xiaotian looked surprised.
Di grinned: "Don't blame us, we are not reduced to the point where we can't even afford food~"
Xiye nodded: "There are noodles every time~"
Xiaotian thought of the cafeteria in his club that served three meat dishes, one vegetarian dish and fruits after meals every day. He patted Xiye on the shoulder: "Let's eat together tonight, feel free to eat!"
"Yes, everyone is free to eat!" jackeylove waved his hand: "Brother Tian is treating you!"
Xiaotian originally wanted to tell Xiye that it was jackeylove who was treating him, but jackeylove told him in advance that he was going to treat him and blocked his words.
After satisfying the fans' requests, everyone boarded the bus and left the airport.
They went to the hotel where the official accommodation was arranged.
The hotel is quite far from the airport. After all, the airport is located in a relatively open suburb, while the hotel is in the urban area.
This period of time is the time for the players to rest in the car.
However, everyone was just talking about the dinner party in the evening, so everyone was still in a high mood, and they were all excitedly discussing where to eat in the evening and what they wanted to eat.
Xiaotian was cheated by jackeylove, and he couldn't express his pain, so he could only use language to satirize jackeylove as much as possible to regain some ground.
jackeylove also knew that Xiaotian was deliberately looking for trouble, but after all, he had to eat dinner, so jackeylove just let Xiaotian mock her and just lay down and let the mockery go.
"It's good to be young." Guo Hao and the team leader sat together and watched the players having fun and said with a smile.
"Yes." ig team leader Su Xiaoluo nodded.
They are not very old either, close to thirty years old, but compared to professional players who are around twenty years old, they are considered "senior".
The older a person gets, the more energetic and energetic they are.
Just like when I was in middle school and high school, I didn't feel tired at all if I stayed up all night on the Internet, but after I turned 25 or 26, staying up all night again was simply exhausting.
Obviously there is not a big age difference, but the difference in mental and physical strength is very obvious.
This is also very obvious in the game.
Why is the golden age of professional e-sports players around 20 years old? Because this is the age when a person is most energetic!
During the dinner party in the evening, Chen Lang also took the time to video chat with Lin Wanwan.
The other party has just started school and has no time to come to Wuhan to watch the group matches.
Chen Lang has no objection to this. Anyway, there is plenty of time later, and it will not be too late to wait for the quarter-finals and the semi-finals to watch them live.
We ate tens of thousands of dollars at the dinner party in the evening, which made Xiaotian feel very distressed.
Later, every time someone asked for a piece of meat, Xiaotian looked at him bitterly, feeling extremely aggrieved.
jackeylove laughed out loud when she saw it, and her weird mood in the afternoon was swept away.
Finally, Chen Lang settled the bill with a smile.
It does cost a lot of money to eat barbecue for dozens of people.
But to Chen Lang, this is just a small sum of money.
Among the players present, regardless of annual salary, Chen Lang is well-deserved to be No. 1 in terms of bonuses earned from playing games.
In this case, he would naturally not let Xiaotian pay.
Rooike and others came to Wuhan to help them with training, so it was normal for him to treat them to dinner.
Let alone one meal, he can afford it even if he eats it every day.
After eating, the players returned to the hotel and started debugging the equipment.
We can start formal training tonight. Even if we don’t train today, we will have formal training tomorrow.
The official hotel and training venue were arranged, and Chen Lang and others were accommodated together according to the club's grouping format.
People from g live on the first floor, and we and the people from the sparring group live on the first floor.
That night, everyone had already begun to test their skills in a training match.
Chen Lang and others fought with ig first.
The original lineup of ig played against cp, while sz, doinb and others formed another team to play against rng first.
We and the rest of the players are watching from behind, and we will come back later depending on the situation.
Except for g and we, the players in the three teams are the same, and the remaining 15 players in the sparring group are all mobile.
Training matches end very quickly, usually no more than 20 minutes.
There is no need to push down the base, as long as you gain a relatively large advantage, the game will end.
The training matches mainly focus on rhythm issues in the early and mid-term, as well as lineup combinations, routines, and BP.
The training match between cp and ig ended quickly. cp did not suppress ig one-sidedly, and the two sides fought back and forth.
Or theshy made a wave, but Chen Lang seized the opportunity, and then CP destroyed ig in a wave.
"The bottom lane is still the key."
After the first training game ended, both sides began a brief review before starting the second game.
Bai Yueya pointed at the review screen and said: "Xiaotian, even if you don't gank the bottom lane in front of you, you still have to put a certain amount of pressure on the opponent."
"Don't reveal your position too early, otherwise it will be dangerous down the road."
"The vision problem in the current version is very serious. You have to help the support to share the pressure on the bottom lane."
Xiaotian was caught too many times in this game, causing Ning to go crazy and gank jackeylove and lqs in the bottom lane.
One side grabs the top, the other grabs the bottom.
The reason for the Incense Burner version is that the ADC becomes fatter in the early stage, which makes team fights more difficult.
Although the status of the bottom lane has been rapidly elevated after the popularity of the incense burner soft support, it does not mean that the bottom lane duo will dominate the battle from beginning to end.
The auxiliary does not buy eyes in the early stage, the ADC goes out with the Holy Shield, etc. All the measures are to allow the soft auxiliary to make [Blazing Incense Burner] in advance.
This situation requires that soft assistants cannot wander around at will during the laning phase. They must stay in the lane and eat up the gold coins provided by [Ancient Coin] and [Sacred Shield], two salary items that can only work with the help of the army line.
Therefore, in the Incense Burner version, before the assistant creates [Blazing Incense Burner], the entire game is actually completely controlled by the midfielder and the jungler.
Due to the low efficiency of soft assists in coordinating jungle ganks, today's professional junglers in the early stage will have more linkage with the top and middle single lanes. For them, the bottom lane duo is mainly for protection.
After prioritizing the release of the top and mid laners, they can then use their superior level and economy to cooperate with the junglers to double-team the opponent's bottom lane.
To put it simply, after the hard supports such as Thresh and Titan were defeated by the soft supports before, the jungle route became relatively monotonous.
Originally, the jungler could cooperate with the hard assistant with control in the bottom lane to kill, first release the support and then use the jungle assistant to roam together to deal with the other two single lanes, or invade the jungle to restrict the opponent's jungler.
This game of ning is an unconventional play.
Because the ecology of the bottom lane is no longer a world of hard support, but soft support.
The soft support's control ability is relatively weak, and its ability to cooperate with the jungle gank is low.
Therefore, most people will choose to gank mid-up to open up the situation.
Uncharacteristically, Ning kept attacking the bottom lane, catching jackeylove, Xiaotian and others by surprise.
Having directly gained the advantage in the early stage, coupled with the competition for resources such as Xiaolong, ig has an absolute advantage.
Especially on the road, although theshy was caught a few times, his development has not fallen behind.
theshy's personal strength has gradually reached its peak. No matter how badly he is targeted, he can rely on his outstanding personal ability to play an important role.
"Maybe there are only so many problems. Let's make changes in the second game and see..."
After analyzing a lot, White Crescent started preparing for the second training game against ig.
...
The days passed like this.
Chen Lang and his team train every day, playing ranked games during the day and training matches at night.
The draw for the group stage has begun.
Everyone sat together and watched the whole process.
