Chapter 255 Encounter with Chen Sheng and Lee Sang Hyuk, the flattered LPL players
The spring championship quotas for various major regions around the world have been announced one by one, which also means that the biggest MSI international event in the first half of this year has begun. prelude.
That night, SKT continued to practice more and focused on teams they believed were threats to them in this year's MSI, regardless of size.
In this way, time passed and it came to May 5th in a blink of an eye.
On this day, the SKT team embarked on a journey to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
After landing, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Everyone was very tired from the long journey. Kkoma was still holding on, directing the staff to install the equipment in the temporary training room.
Chen Yiqiu, Li Sanghyuk and others have returned to their rooms to rest.
When we came out again, it was already dark and it was nine o'clock in the evening.
"Hey, did you notice yesterday that everyone from other competition areas seems to have arrived, and we are the latest group this year."
During the meal, Li Zaiwan whispered to everyone, pointing out Pointing not far away.
Everyone turned around and saw a group of blond and blue-eyed foreigners sitting not far away. When they took a closer look, everyone was happy.
It turns out to be an acquaintance - G2.
“Hello!”
G2 also spotted everyone from SKT. Ah P immediately stood up, waved enthusiastically, and walked over quickly.
The rest of G2 followed suit, and jungler Trick grinned: "We were talking about you just now... Oh, the idol of all of us, the great SKTT1, is coming to dominate MSI now. ”
"Please leave us some way to survive, we also need honor, don't we?"
The jungler obviously didn't have a high emotional intelligence, and when his words of praise came to his mouth, he gradually turned into a yin and yang.
Of course, no one in SKT had the intention to listen to what he meant.
Because except for Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk, everyone else present is actually not familiar with English. There is no translator around us, so we can't communicate normally.
Seeing the other party gesticulating excitedly, everyone vaguely heard about the greatness, SKTT1 and the like, and thought that this guy was also their fan in the professional circle.
"Thank you, Crab."
Li Zaiwan twisted his fat butt and thanked him with a smile.
Pei Junzhi didn't look sideways and leaned lazily on the chair.
Not to mention, this posture, coupled with the three stars on the chest, really looks like the big devil of SKTT1.
But the real devil, Faker, had already stood up and shook hands with everyone humbly.
"Speaking of which, you guys are really strong this year. Meeting you at this year's MSI is simply a terrible thing."
Ah P is acquainted with everyone, and he doesn't have much scruples in speaking. , very directly spread his hands and shrugged.
That look was like saying that after he got the news that SKT was promoted to MSI, his whole mentality collapsed.
“Yes, we were very confident about this MSI. Believe us, all of us in G2 are very optimistic about this journey... But, seeing you, I really I’m a little desperate, brother.”
Ah P pointed at Chen Yiqiu and said, “Why are you always so strong? Please show some of the regular rules of a champion top laner.”
Chen Yiqiu looked at him speechless: "Is it really okay for you to curse me in front of my face?"
"NO, NONONO."
Ah P immediately shook his head when he heard the sound: " How can this be a curse, Reaper, you are my favorite professional player, you are my fan...Oh no, I am your fan."
"Speaking of it. Fans... A bunch of Latin American brothers who came before, they are your crazy fans... The top laner in their team actually wants to introduce his sister to you... Well, this is a good suggestion, you need a girlfriend, there is one If you're interested, I can help you connect. What do you think of this proposal? "
"I don't think it's good."
Chen Yiqiu shook his head expressionlessly.
I have begun to criticize the directness of Europe and the United States in my heart.
Ap, it’s true. Don’t you usually pay attention to the news in Asia?
How dare he say such words now that his teammates are around him.
If Jin Min and I were to hear this, the two of us would probably start a fight on the spot.
Besides...
He had already seen the group of people who had just walked out of the bathroom through the 'hints' of other good brothers in G2.
This group of people have colorful hair, and among them the top order is a big man with exposed chest hair and rough facial features.
I can only say that my back felt cold, I could already imagine what the other person’s sister looked like.
“Oh, by the way, just to remind you...just tell me, the LPL team is here too, and this time they are not the same team.”
Everyone in G2 didn't stay here long. It's not that they didn't want to spend more time with SKT, a world-class team, but SKT obviously had more important things here.
And there is no translator on both sides now. Except for Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk, they stand here and stare at each other because they don't understand the language.
It would be a bit too embarrassing to stay here.
When SKT heard what G2 said, they were all startled.
Especially Chen Yiqiu.
He was not surprised when the LPL participating teams arrived. Due to some event reasons, SKT was indeed the last team to arrive in Sao Paulo this year.
But...
What is more than just one team...
MSI stipulates that only the spring champion of each division can qualify.
Is it possible that there are several Spring Split champions in the LPL?
? ? ?
"...I probably understand."
While everyone was thinking hard and confused, Chen Yiqiu had already seen a group of people walking in at the entrance of the restaurant.
They spoke familiar Mandarin with accents from all over the country.
Among them, several figures are familiar, and this group of people is very large, far from being a simple team.
"EDG... RNG? And IG... No, what are they doing here, watching the game live?"
At this time, Little Peanut also discovered this scene and immediately said in surprise.
"No, I think they may have all 'qualified' to participate, well...otherwise, what would their coaching staff be doing here?"
Li Zaiwan noticed the coaching staff around a group of people in the LPL. them.
There are many familiar faces among them.
"What are they doing?"
Even Kkoma was a little surprised and confused.
"Yiqiu."
The two sides approached, and Chen Yiqiu heard a familiar voice in the crowd.
I turned around and saw that it was Letme who had shaved her round head.
"Baiyun...!!"
Chen Yiqiu was also surprised.
Bai Yun is one of the few close friends he has in LPL. Back then, the two of them lived in the same dormitory.
It can be said that we are brothers in distress.
Although Bai Yun is a bit petty in private, he has nothing to say to him.
Although he also visited Letme when he returned to China several times before, due to RNG, they didn't have much chance to talk in detail. Mainly Chen Yiqiu. Every time he goes back here, he is very nervous, so Chen Yiqiu is really surprised to meet him at this moment.
"Uh... Kurotsuchi?"
Letme looked embarrassed after hearing this title, paused before shouting: "Are you Kurotsuchi?"
" What Heitu, why are you here? Are you publishing a book?"
Chen Yiqiu came over happily, and the others in LPL who were still pretending to be calm suddenly trembled. To be honest, I was a little flattered.
Especially when Chen Yiqiu came over, the rest of SKT and Lee Sang Hyuk followed, which made them feel a subtle illusion.
——SKT took the initiative to come towards us. I am super. Can we be on par?
"What about publishing a book? We are invited by the official to be a training team for WE this time."
Letme is very confused about Chen Yiqiu who always teases him about publishing a book.
But Youdao said too much, so naturally he became worried.
So Letme has been thinking more than once during this period that since Yiqiu says this every time she sees him, it seems that he really has some talent for publishing books.
I also have the potential to become a great writer!
If one day, he really becomes famous...well, after winning the championship, he can consider publishing an autobiography. The first book must be given to Chen Yiqiu, so as to highlight the relationship between the two of them. friendship.
Chen Yiqiu just doesn't know what Letme is thinking at this moment, otherwise he would be very speechless.
He's not short of paper, so why do he need books?
That thing is hard, and it even steps on the horse's butt.
But what Letme said just now reminded Chen Yiqiu.
"Training? Officially organized?"
"Yes, we all are."
Letme pointed to the people behind him with a smile: "Like EDG, and us...Although we lost, LPL's performance in international competitions has been poor in recent years, and you know...Oh, so this time the official It’s time to put in a lot of effort..."
After saying that, he hesitated to speak.
Chen Yiqiu understood what he meant.
I guess this has something to do with him.
In another world, although S7 officials also created sparring teams and the like, those were during the S7 Intercontinental Championship and World Championship.
As for MSI, it probably hasn’t been done yet.
Now in advance, I can only say that as a Chinese player, Chen Yiqiu has done so well in the LCK. Counting this spring split, he has won the LCK championship three times.
Whether it is inside or outside the competition area, or at the Penguin headquarters, there must be a lot of pressure on LPL officials.
The application of the sparring team this time may be to gather the resources and masters of the entire competition region and work together to win the MSI championship, defeat SKT, and defeat...Chen Yiqiu.
“Reaper, long time no see.”
At this time, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Chen Yiqiu took a look and found that it was Yu Shuang and the others.
Did LPL charter a flight this time? They were all on one flight? Maybe they arrived too late, everyone in the LPL had already arrived early.
"Hello."
Facing Yu Shuang, Chen Yiqiu was still very polite.
He really doesn’t have many acquaintances in the LPL division, except for Letme before he became famous, and Yu Shuang is barely half of them.
After all, they were interviewing him every time. Under the special arrangements of the LPL competition, Yu Shuang also secretly extended an olive branch to Chen Yiqiu.
“We played really well in the spring split.”
“Crab, LPL is also very strong this year.”
Chen Yiqiu glanced at the LPL crowd.
EDG, RNG, and WE are now the most popular and strongest teams.
Even teams like IG, which is not very prominent in the league, are here.
Because although they are not good in the league now, the mid laner Rookie's personal ability is very strong, so it is perfect to be used as a sparring partner for WE's Xiye.
"If I had known that we would also call our brothers here, the LCK officials would not be able to help."
Li Zaiwan already understood, shaking his head and starting to mutter.
"Stop talking nonsense. Riot Games almost hates you SKT. LCK officials don't really want you to win the championship. There are so many teams in the region that want you to die and even set up a sparring group for you. What a joke."
Pei Junzhi’s words are sharp and direct.
During this period, he has been relatively silent, but his occasional speeches always catch people off guard and hit the nail on the head.
"Hmm... Do Letme and Brother Yiqiu have a good relationship?"
Little Peanut saw that Chen Yiqiu and Letme were very familiar and intimate, and asked curiously.
"I heard that he is one of the few friends who was in LPL before Ichiu."
Lee Sang Hyuk explained, then walked up and started taking photos with several slightly excited LPL players.
These LPL players are really excited. According to their thinking, they usually cannot come into contact with Faker, such as children, but this time, by some strange combination of circumstances, they unexpectedly encountered Faker.
And it was Chen Yiqiu who came over on his own initiative, so they didn’t have to be scolded for licking Faker, and they could successfully get autographs and photos.
Wait until you return to China to start a live broadcast, enlarge the photo twice and hang it in the live broadcast room.
It can be just as full as it needs to be.
"That's it for today, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
There are too many people at the moment, so Chen Yiqiu didn't waste time for others to eat. He briefly chatted with Letme and decided to be alone tomorrow. After inviting him to dinner and gathering, he was ready to leave.
But before leaving, some people wanted to take a photo with him and Lee Sang Hyuk, so they were delayed for a while.
In this gap, Chen Yiqiu suddenly discovered that Uzi in the crowd had not spoken. He was even different from everyone else. Everyone else was in high spirits at the moment. Even if they pretended to be cold, there were traces of it.
He was the only one who didn't pretend to be cold, but he didn't take the initiative to come over. Instead, he lowered his head and played with his phone alone, as if he had touched it and cared about it.
Waiting until one of SKT's human resources left, he raised his head, his expression not very good.
"Puppy, we met you just now, why don't you say hello."
Xiaohu said with relief: "That incident of yours was not intentional, just let it go. ”
“I know.”
Uzi sighed: "But... you don't understand."
Xiaohu opened his mouth, a little embarrassed.
What do you mean I don’t understand?
Don’t you still remember that Bae Junzhi mentioned a few words during SKT’s live broadcast? Is this the case?
“Forget it, let’s eat. After dinner, go back and rest. I have to get jet lag today.”
"You haven't turned over yet? It's been a few days."
Xi Ye, who was not far away, was a little surprised when he heard the sound.
“You don’t understand.”
In response, Xiaohu answered for Uzi: “Jet lag varies from person to person, and we have always been very slow in getting rid of jet lag.”
"...Okay."
Xiye nodded doubtfully.
"Hey, by the way, Yan Junze, do you know Chen Yiqiu very well? That's awesome, I haven't heard you mention it before."
On the other side, other people have already begun to gossip. What is the personal relationship between Letme and Chen Yiqiu?
There were whispers.
Uzi’s meal was not a pleasant one.
Very unpleasant.
