Chapter 61 [LPL, your grandpa is back again! 】
July 21st, the day of the competition.
The members of the IG team were woken up early by Chen Zi knocking on the door and were ready to have lunch.
The club is equipped with professional nutritionists who will formulate daily diets for the players.
Not only must nutrition be balanced, but safety and hygiene must also be ensured. Otherwise, if an individual player suffers from a bad stomach during an important competition, or even ends up in the hospital, it is very likely that a year's hard work will be in vain.
The IG club pays special attention to logistical support, including the cooking aunties in the base, who are all carefully selected. Players with an average age of less than 19 years old are full of praise for their cooking skills.
Especially after a year of hardship in EDG's dark dining hall, he cherishes the club's food.
After finishing the lunch carefully prepared by their aunt, the players each played two Ranks before setting off. After the time was up, they sat together on the team bus.
IG's base is located in the city, nearly 35 kilometers away from the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center venue, and it takes at least an hour to get there.
Taking advantage of this time, Mafa patted Xin Minsheng on the shoulder and emphasized the tactics again in the bus.
"Based on the information compared by our analysts, our winning rate against Team Snake today is only 30%!"
New Minsheng translated the words of coach Mafa and looked at Wang Cheng, "Your task today is still to stabilize the line. We will still focus on the top half. Do you have confidence?"
"Of course."
Wang Cheng pinched his knuckles, his face filled with confidence, "From the time I played against Brother Crystal in the Spring Split until now, he has never beaten me online."
Wang Liuyi raised the corners of his mouth and nodded gently.
"Gao Zhenning"
Before Yuan Shanyan finished speaking, Gao Zhenning patted his chest and promised, "Coach, don't worry, I know there is a strength gap between me and Sofm, but I know how to win the game."
Hearing this, Yuan Shanyan nodded with satisfaction.
It has been less than three months since Gao Zhenning transitioned into the jungle, and his experience, hero pool, and jungle planning are still at a lower level in the LPL.
Even compared to the kid Yu Shen in the team, he is slightly inferior.
But again, Gao Zhenning has a lot of spirituality in him that current professional junglers in the LPL do not possess.
——Know how to protect your father and win the game!
The most important thing is that this tall guy from QQHE not only has a bold personality, but is also so confident that he is arrogant.
After saying that, Yuan Shanyan turned to look at Chu Ge, hesitated for several seconds, and then said, "Relax, just treat it as military training, don't overdo it."
Chu Ge nodded and said nothing.
After entering the LPL last year, I have only played two games in my career, so I have to count it down carefully.
Chu Ge is the newest player in the team.
After the coach finished drinking chicken soup, Chu Ge put his headphones on and leaned against the car window, letting the traffic outside pass by.
Chu Ge held up his cell phone, clicked on Weibo, and quickly edited and posted the news:
Did I call you: [LPL, your grandpa is back again! 】
Not long after the post was released, the comment area below the post immediately became lively.
[It’s still a familiar recipe! The pigeon is finally back! 】
[Pure passerby, I just want to see if you can let the LPL know what cruelty is]
【Fuck! Catch Dow alive! 】
[Hurry up and finish the game, my brothers are waiting for your live broadcast]
[IG has changed everything except the mid lane in the summer split. Is it really effective? 】
After scrolling through the e-sports forum, the team bus drove into Hongqiao World.
Gao Zhenning enthusiastically rushed to the front with his black schoolbag on his back. When he saw Chu Ge still behind, he urged, "Hurry up, pigeons. I'm waiting to tear up Sofm's wild area!"
"Just you?"
BaoLan looked Gao Zhenning up and down, with no trace of trust in his eyes, but full of suspicion.
Chu Ge patted Gao Zhenning on the shoulder and chuckled, "Follow our tactical plan for the training match. You listen to my command."
Hearing this, Gao Zhenning clapped his chest hard and promised, "Today I will definitely use the title of Prince Ning as a compliment!"
"What are you two doing with your ink?" Chen Zi urged hurriedly, "The elevator is here, otherwise we have to wait for another 10 minutes. If you are late and are fined, the club will not pay you!"
"Just punish me and the pigeons and I don't care," Gao Zhenning waved his hands casually, tilted his head and looked behind him, "You think so."
"Pigeon?"
Gao Zhenning looked around and suddenly saw Chu Ge waving to him at the elevator entrance.
"You kid betrayed me!"
"Dear viewers, welcome to the first day of the eighth week of the 2016 LPL Summer Split."
Today's commentators are Wawa and Miller.
While the players on both sides were still debugging their equipment, Wawa quickly finished reading the advertisement for the new sponsor of the Summer Split, and then said, "The two sides fighting today are IG and Snake."
"Snake has no personnel changes, but looking at IG, after replacing BaoLan, a new assistant, in the last game, Dow will take over the top lane today."
The doll tilted his head and looked at his partner, "Mr. Miller, what do you think of today's match between the two teams?"
Miller took over the conversation and analyzed, "The Snake team performed very well throughout the summer split, especially after the introduction of Sofm from the Vietnam Division. They seemed to have found the switch to victory and were advancing all the way."
"Although the IG team is also a long-established and strong team, their personnel have been constantly changing, and until now they don't know how to win the game."
Wawa nodded in response, "However, I don't know if IG will bring us any surprises today after replacing the new player Dow."
"I think it's very possible. The two games played by young player Dow in the Spring Split have left a deep impression on me so far. Her laning strength is not inferior to that of Looper!"
"I just don't know what kind of sparks the talented top laners of the two teams can create in the top lane today." As soon as Miller finished speaking, he received the start notice from the director, "Let's wait and see!"
With a metallic crunching sound, the screen on the big screen turned and entered the BAN/PICK interface.
"SS has the priority to choose the side in this game and actively chooses the blue side!"
The BAN people on both sides are very fast.
SS banned Enchantress, Ice, and Jhin; while IG banned Grasshopper, Sivir, and Vampire.
The BAN positions of both sides are targeting the selection of mid-to-lower heroes, especially AD heroes who prefer functionality.
The heroic SS of Vampire can swing mid-to-upper, has a strong ability to withstand pressure, and outputs very high damage when entering team battles in the mid-to-late stage. It is a fixed ban position on the red side.
In the commentary booth, Wawa smiled and said: "SS did not restrict Dow's hero pool, probably because they are very confident about the strength of Brother Holy Spear."
"This is normal. The Dow players didn't show much in a BO3. Even the version of Sword Princess, the only one they used, wasn't very strong." Miller agreed.
SS locks EZ on the first floor to prevent it from being snatched by IG when AD options are scarce.
Seeing this, IG didn't hesitate and snatched away the Nosuke heroes Braum and Jiugong with their backhand.
SS took down the excavator and tsar in second and third hands.
Azir was slashed by his fist in version 6.11. The passive [Legacy of Furima] removed W [Sand Soldier Appearance] to cause damage to the defense tower.
The days of Kunge pushing towers and being crazy are gone forever. (End of chapter)
