Chapter 180 Su Xiaoluo: It was my fault before, I will kneel down for you! [Requesting monthly votes]
Even EDG themselves did not expect this result. The owner Ed Zhu called the league CEO that night.
“Everything is for the alliance. EDG has indeed not had very good results in international competitions in recent years. It’s time to give other teams a chance.”
“The current LPL , It’s urgent to achieve results, isn’t it?”
Jin Yibo warned with sincerity.
"Our EDG can't produce results? No matter what, we can be better than IG, right?"
"What configuration is IG? Of the three newcomers, Duke is the only one with experience in competitions. They can perform better than us in the intercontinental competition. ?”
Ai Dezhu is not happy.
Such a reason obviously did not convince him.
The business perspective is one aspect, and proving the strength of one's own team is also another aspect. After all, EDG's reinforcement of shooters in the summer season definitely improves its overall strength by a level compared to the spring season. In this case He couldn't figure out why EDG's spot was eliminated by little IG.
Both emotionally and rationally, we have to fight for our place.
Ai Dezhu didn't care about his grace, he typed hard on the other side of the phone and put pressure on him.
"It's useless to look for me. The announcement has been sent out and it cannot be changed. As for the explanation, you can go to Su Cheng. This is the result of comprehensive consideration between me and him." Jin Yibo was forced I had no choice but to move Su Cheng out.
Ed Zhu was stunned, "Su Cheng? What does he mean?"
If this is the case, things will be a little difficult to handle.
Is it because of a group of classmates and friends from IG’s past?
Or does this current top-level player in the LPL region truly believe that EDG cannot shoulder the responsibility of participating in the intercontinental competition?
……
……
EDG Base.
In the evening, the lights were brightly lit, and everyone gathered in the training hall anxiously waiting for the results.
They were all preparing for the intercontinental competition. Even the factory director had taken the lead in studying the opponents in the LCK next door. However, the alliance suddenly told them that they did not need to go to the intercontinental competition? This huge gap has made the entire EDG panic.
Finally.
General Manager Abu walked out of the office.
"How's it going?" The factory director hurried forward to ask.
Aguang, Scout, and Meiko also came over, "Is there a shady story? Is there a clear answer?"
Iboy is the most concerned. He feels that his talent is better than that of the twin star 'JackeyLove' who has the same name as him next door. It is much higher, and EDG is a wealthy team, so there is no reason for them to be replaced by IG.
Iboy is looking forward to the scene where he goes to the intercontinental competition and kills everyone, sweeping the LCK and achieving great success.
“After the alliance CEO discussed with Orange God, they made it clear that there is no way to change the answer. As for the explanation... we have been thoroughly studied. The results in the competition are not good, and the alliance is not optimistic about it.”
< br>Abu was also helpless.
He didn't expect it to be like this.
The recent intercontinental competition has been extremely popular. The club's sponsors are looking forward to the team achieving good results on the international stage, so as to maximize the advertising effect. This involves several The subsequent potential value of tens of millions of wealth, even fame and traffic, is immeasurable.
At present, the club cannot even enter the intercontinental competition, which is unacceptable to everyone.
“Is this what Orange God means?” Ming Kai was surprised.
Meiko also said: "It should be that the league asked him specifically for his opinion. After all, the intercontinental competition is still led by Snake. Their 3:0 SKT is the biggest guarantee for the LPL. Orange God has performed stably. We can It’s natural to be one point ahead of LCK, but even so, it doesn’t make sense to let IG replace us.”
"I see, he is targeting us. On the surface, he sounds high-sounding, but in fact, he is favoring our old friends. We can beat teams like IG with our feet. We were beaten 2:1 in the regular season. No matter how you look at it, It’s a shady story. "Iboy is very unhappy. Feeling happy, he said angrily: "You really think you can do whatever you want after winning MSI, right?"
Debuting at the same age as Su Cheng, with Zhuyu in front, he has long considered the other person to be his future partner. To surpass opponents and goals.
The team I am on is a veteran powerhouse in the LPL, and has a better teammate configuration than the other team. Now the summer season has ushered in the ADC version, especially the soft support Meiko has made his debut. It is not feasible to expect him to start a team. But I expect him to protect the ADC. Tian Ye is very good at it. The right time, place and people are right. Isn't this the version created for him?
"I think he is just afraid of losing to us later, so he deliberately takes advantage of his current glory to play tricks on us." Iboy became more and more angry and directly brought up conspiracy theories.
"Su Cheng is not that kind of person." Ming Kai glared at Iboy. He felt that this kid had been so successful since his debut that he no longer recognized himself.
"I'll go find him."
Ming Kai thought for a moment and decided to drive and make an appointment.
"I'll go too!" Tian Tian heard the words and hurriedly followed.
Aguang was also very active, "Take me one!"
All his teammates left, leaving only Scout and Iboy.
Abramovich has resigned himself to his fate and has not followed. The league has already issued an announcement. Although there are many doubts online, if they let EDG replace IG, it will only cause greater repercussions. The most important thing is that things like going back on one's word will Seriously affect the official prestige.
When fans make a fuss, the officials immediately slap themselves in the face.
Okay then, whenever a controversial system is released in the future, whichever fans are unhappy will come to make trouble. If this is the case, will the LPL still be able to handle it?
……
10:30pm.
Su Cheng sat across from Ming Kai and others at a Haidilao hotpot restaurant downstairs.
"What do you think about the intercontinental competition?"
Ming Kai didn't beat around the bush and asked directly after ordering the food.
“On the one hand, it has been thoroughly studied, and on the other hand, it is also because you have recently begun to transform, leaving you with not much time. The old double C support post-operation system cannot win the LCK.”
Su Cheng also said calmly.
"But..." Ming Kai was a little unwilling.
“Instead of taking the extremely high risk of overturning, it is better to concentrate on improving and prepare for the subsequent playoffs.”
“Transformation is a good thing, but success does not happen overnight. You are making progress. , others are also making progress."
Su Cheng's words that hit the point made the three EDG brothers fall into deep thought.
The first intercontinental tournament is so grand and grand. It is not a child's play. Audiences all over the world are paying attention. The most important thing is that the four teams compete together. Whoever loses will be embarrassed. The LPL audience will not get used to it. Don't watch. No matter how good you said before going out, once you really lose the game, especially to the LCK, overwhelming abuse will follow.
This is why some players play the game with the spirit of 'rather do nothing than make mistakes'.
The price of making mistakes is too high.
“Okay, what you said is true.”
“It’s about the honor of the competition region, and only those who can compete will compete. Since you strongly recommend IG, we have nothing to say.”
"Then... I wish you a successful start and win the Intercontinental Championship!"
"We will not be lenient when we come back to the playoffs."
The three of them also woke up. They know very well what their team's recent state is.
Even after going to the intercontinental competition, except for MVP, none of the other three LCK aces is easy to chew. They have also watched recent LCK games, and they are indeed not on the same level.
“Let’s eat.”
“Long time no see. Speaking of which, your boy is really beautiful at MSI.”
"3:0SKT, I can't help but envy you..."
During the hot pot dinner, several people also began to reminisce about the past.
They are usually busy, and they all go home during the holidays. When they come back, they will participate in the summer competition. They have never had time to get together in private. This is a hard-earned free time.
……
The next day.
The LPL summer season and regular season journey have been suspended.
What follows is the intercontinental competition becoming more and more popular.
On the Internet, Starch was making a fuss every day, and the LPL official blog was frequently blasted and put under pressure by fans. Only later, the news about Su Cheng’s proposal to let IG go on the expedition was exposed on the Internet, and Starch stopped. Come down.
Although there are many voices of criticism, there is no doubt about the importance of the current number one player in LPL. He has won double championships at the age of 17, has not lost a single game since his debut, and defeated his old rival SKT 3:0. Such outstanding records Netizens discuss him every day. In the field of e-sports, where performance matters, no one can take advantage of such a great player.
There wasn't much of a commotion later, and Mingkai also stood up and spoke out, so many fans calmed down, and the entire network focused on the upcoming intercontinental competition.
It’s about the honors of the two major competitions.
In a sense, the Intercontinental Championship is almost the benchmark for the ‘World Championship’.
After all, the first and second divisions in the world are LPL and LCK. Each of the two divisions sends four teams representing the highest level in the division, so the gold content is self-evident.
“We must win the championship!” “Fight side by side and crush the LCK!”
"We all won MSI. Orange God led the team and naturally led by one point. I don't know how to play in LCK?"
"I hope IG will not let go."
"IG can I really should give the Orange God a try when I enter the intercontinental competition. I don’t know what Manager Su thinks.”
“I want to see what Manager Su’s reaction will be when he meets the Orange God!”
"..."
Among the countless voices of expectation.
The time comes on July 6th.
The Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall was overcrowded and all seats were occupied.
The schedule of the Intercontinental Championship is very tight.
In a total of 4 days, there will be 6 BO1 games every day, and the group stage lasts for 2 days, which means that each team in the three major divisions needs to play two BO1 matches. In the end, the division with the highest total points will advance directly. 'finals'.
"Come on Flash Wolves!!"
"This is our home court, the throne of the King of Asia must be ours!"
"LPL is invincible!"
"Kill the Orange God, punch the LCK, kick the LMS!"
"Just do it!!"
"There are oranges in the east, who can compete??"
"LCK rushes, sweeps LPL, and washes away MSI's shame!"
"..."
Everyone on the scene Fans are cheering loudly for their home division.
14:00 PM.
The game is announced.
The first one.
JT, the lower horse in the LMS division, faced off against SSG, the upper horse in the LCK.
From the perspective of the outside world, there is no suspense in the game. The fans in Wanwan Province were enthusiastically cheering for the players from their own division throughout the whole process. They kept saying "Hey", "ah", "motorcycle" and the like, which sounded girly. Many LPL viewers felt like there were ten thousand ants crawling in their hearts when listening to the idiosyncratic vocabulary.
“Can you please stop barking?”
"Everyone in the mid lane line up is screaming. Is that called pinching the horse?"
"Have you really never seen anyone playing in a game?"
"Wait a minute, our general OG Come on stage and see if you can still scream.”
“I’m thinking too much. Orange God is playing KT today and has no time to deal with LMS. Let the second brother IG go fight against KT. That’s the highlight.”
"..."
The LPL audience looked really bored, and they couldn't help but whisper and discuss with each other.
What no one expected was that this first BO1 turned out to be an unprecedented game. The two sides fought fiercely for 53 minutes before SSG won.
Backstage, LPL lounge.
The four LPL teams gathered together.
As the game ended, a variety of voices filled the spacious room.
"JT is in good condition." Kandi couldn't help but say, "Although he is not good in the field, he is very strong in the middle and lower. It was delayed until 53 minutes."
"That's it. , Leader An is too cautious, as for JT's jungler, I use my feet to guard him, and my evaluation is that the weak should not be ignored," King Ning said very conceitedly.
But JT’s jungler is a bit weak.
After all, it is just a low-level team in the LMS, and its player configuration is not the elite of the LMS region.
"FoFo in the middle must pay special attention. This player is very strong in laning, but his awareness is not very good. He is easy to catch. Write it down." 957 is very careful. He has a calm personality and is not as loud as King Ning and Kandi.
“You have to take care of it. The soft assistant priority in the Incense Burner version has been raised, which has invisibly narrowed the gap between AD. BeBe in the bottom lane is not very strong, but if you choose Xia Luo or EZ in the early stage If you want to stabilize his development, you can at most put some pressure on him, but you also have to take care of him. At the very least, you can’t let him play comfortably. This is JT’s weak point.”
RNG head coach Feng Ge is also in Xiaoxiao. Write it down in the notebook.
“Samsung is not in good shape today, but this team still deserves special attention. They play all games very slowly, and their style is very similar to EDG. They like to operate, and their main focus is 'cannibalization flow'. They are unwilling to do risky things in the mid-term, unless it is a must-win dragon team, otherwise they have good vision control and will not be able to give up at all."
"And sometimes, they will give up. Dragon Team, go steal growth for Double C.”
"You need to be defensive."
WE head coach, Hongmi also told the players.
Zhu Kai joined the chaotic crowd and found that he couldn't get a word in, so he simply went to help Su Cheng make a pot of tea.
"Orange God, what do you think?"
WE Here, Xiye looked at Su Cheng, who was sitting drinking tea not far away, and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, dozens of pairs of eyes in the room looked over at the same time.
"I see with my eyes." Su Cheng said honestly.
“Hahaha.”
Everyone burst into laughter and looked at Su Cheng with laughter.
With this guy as their escort, they feel at ease.
"Don't make trouble, tell your family in detail." Rookie stepped forward with a smile.
He cares about this intercontinental competition very much.
Ah Shui said in a glib tone: "Yes, my brother is not sensible anymore. I, Brother Cheng, are silent. You guys are talking about it, don't you take the most powerful double crown in history into consideration, right?"
"What you said is quite right. Except for Samsung, which needs to be studied, JT doesn't need to pay attention to this team. A ragtag group of people can't make a difference, and their team coordination is poor. Although they try to operate in the same way, in fact, they often operate ineffectively, and they only learn a little bit about people."
"Whoever loses JT. , kneel down directly to the LPL audience who bought tickets after the game.”
Su Cheng said unceremoniously.
When everyone heard this, although everyone was laughing, they felt somewhat stressed.
No one can be sure about competition.
"As for the plan against Samsung, let’s not discuss it for now. Let’s talk about the MVP team first. They have a unique skill of playing field excavators. They are nicknamed Cuzz disciples. When Xiao Han digs, he has to take the initiative to attack this person. The more difficult it is, the more difficult it is. If you want to defend, the easier it is for him to find an opportunity. You can ban the excavator or not, but if you give me Ning Wang, the whole pig girl Zac, I'd better ban him."
"Also..."
Before the game, Su Cheng also researched the MVP team.
All IG members, including Duke and head coach mafa, listened to Su Cheng's suggestions with serious expressions.
Not long after.
The staff informed that all IG members will be on stage.
For a while, the coach left with the players. In the area where IG was located in the room, only Chris and Su Xiaoluo were left. No player or coach from the other teams wanted to get close to them. Look, Up alone.
Su Xiaoluo smiled reluctantly when he saw Su Cheng looking over.
Chris looked troubled too.
"What, Brother Cheng, are you thirsty after talking for so long? I'll pour you some tea." Chris had a look. Seeing that the atmosphere in the spacious room was a bit awkward, he hurriedly walked forward with a smile. Zhu Kai took the teapot in his hand.
Su Xiaoluo felt a little embarrassed when he saw Chris's naughty face, but when he saw so many pairs of eyes in the room looking at him, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he walked forward awkwardly and apologized with a smile. Said: "Um, ahem...Chengzi, I was wrong before. I was a bit blind and misjudged the true hero."
"You two, I still like your unruly look before."
"Could you please restore it?"
"..."
