Chapter 58 The intercontinental competition begins! ! 【Two in one! 】
After killing two of his teammates, Snake's remaining three members dispersed. Lucian quickly went to the top lane to defend the skateboard shoes that were advancing with the Canyon Herald. Jhin and Clockwork used their skills to clear the path.
However, when Lucian rushed to the road, the bloody Canyon Herald still crashed into the highland defense tower. Although the defense tower was not shattered, due to the consumption of skateboard shoes and soldiers, the health volume was less than half.
The tower in the middle had also consumed some health. Under the pressure of four people, Snake could only let IG push down the defense tower in the middle.
After going home and replenishing a wave of equipment, IG started a classic 41-point push. One person from Skateboard Shoes goes to the bottom lane to push, and four people push the second tower in the middle lane. As long as Snake sends someone to do the wiring, then the four people will enter the jungle together. If Snake doesn't come to do the wiring, the second tower will be consumed.
In the end, Snake gritted his teeth, abandoned the second tower in the middle, mobilized three people to catch TheShy to death, and was replaced by TheShy's skateboard shoe. With such a good opportunity, how could IG not bite Snake hard? He immediately rushed into the high ground, killed the two guarding the high ground, and broke the Snake crystal in the middle.
After going home and replenishing supplies, IG captured the newly born dragon in the early 20 minutes. Snake's own operation is no match for IG, let alone when there is a Baron? In the end, Snake could only fight to the death and was wiped out by IG in 25 minutes, ending the game.
After the first game, Snake finally stopped choosing this underworld lineup in the second game and picked a more satisfactory lineup.
But both sides chose the underworld lineup, and Snake's top and bottom lanes could at least stabilize the matchup. After choosing a normal lineup, Snake was destroyed by IG in both the upper and lower lanes. Sofm had to turn into a firefighter, saving the top lane and the bottom lane.
TheShy didn't get caught in vain even once in this round, and even if he was caught, he could always trade for one. He actually knows when he can change one by one and when he can't, but he just wants to make waves and operate.
However, after knowing that Lin Yuyu, whom he had harmed, was even forced to undergo inhuman training with him, TheShy became much more stable.
After all, he is not the protagonist in the god-making movement after S8. Now he is just a rookie player whose starting position is unstable, and his plasticity is obviously much better.
In the cheers of the commentators, IG2:0Snake won this Bo3 victory.
In the end, the official decided to let Lin Yuyu be interviewed!
What Lin Yuyu said in the last interview set off various social media, and the discussion was so huge that it gave the official a taste of traffic. Naturally, they hope that Lin Yuyu will start a traffic carnival again.
As for whether the players will be angry because of the criticism? The authorities don’t care about this!
In this interview, Lin Yuyu's performance was quite satisfactory. He didn't say anything about leaving the cabinet, and he was no different from other players.
Finally, there is the on-site fan interaction session...
"Brother Jianjian, I would like to ask, I am 15 years old this year, and my rank is the Korean server king. But after reaching the king, it is difficult to continue to improve my score. Do I have the chance to play professionally?" A man with eyes and a little skin said A dark, chubby boy, the boy's immature face was full of doubts.
However, when Lin Yuyu saw this boy, he was slightly startled.
This boy... isn't he Bin?
Bin Lin Yuyu is naturally no stranger to him. He was also one of the top laners considered by EDG. Lin Yuyu followed his colleagues from EDG and had a certain understanding of Bin's various situations.
Bin was born in September 2002. He is currently 15 years old in S7.
Lin Yuyu's eyes fell on the middle-aged man next to Bin, and a clear look flashed in his eyes. Bin should be accompanied by his father this time and came to contact some teams.
"Since you can be ranked as the king of the Korean server, whether you can play professionally does not depend on whether you have a chance, but whether you want to play or not!" Lin Yuyu said with a gentle smile: "The four words "League of Legends" actually mean It seems to me that it contains a lot of meaning!
What is a hero? When no one else believed in you, you chose to believe in yourself and achieved success. This... is the way to become a hero!
What is an alliance? When you are surrounded by people who believe in you, you carry their trust and still achieve success. This... is the best interpretation of the alliance!
When you have enough confidence in your heart and are ready to bear everything! So as a professional player, I welcome you to join! ”
"I'm ready! I want to play professionally!!!" Bin shouted loudly, his young face even a little red because of the excitement.
It was obvious that his trip was not going well. I am in a confused stage at the moment, so I asked such a question.
"I see unimaginable determination in your eyes. Just like me back then, I believe in you. Please work hard with my trust in the future!" Lin Yuyu's face was filled with an extraordinarily gentle smile: "Here Make a promise! I will wait for you in the professional arena and look forward to the day when I can compete with you!”
"..." After hearing Lin Yuyu's words, Bin, who had been confused for several days, all the hesitation in his heart disappeared. Tears of excitement fell from the corners of his eyes, and he even started to sob: "Uuwuwu...I, I..."
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Bin's voice was particularly firm: "Thank you! Brother Jianjian, wait for me!"
The fans at the scene immediately burst into cheers.
Although they could not perfectly empathize with Bin, Lin Yuyu's words were like life mottos, applicable to everywhere.
As soon as Lin Yuyu said this, although it did not become a hot search topic. But it also caused waves in major social media sections related to League of Legends. It triggered rounds of discussions.
After Lin Yuyu’s ‘Brother Steady’ and ‘Brother Arrogant’, he got a new title ‘Brother Philosophy’!
After the interview, Lin Xuyu took the bus back to the base with everyone.
According to the old rules, after winning the game, I was able to rest after returning to the club that night.
However, Lin Yuyu did not rest. He took the initiative to find Ah Shui to line up with him, and then asked Duke, West, Kidkid and the second team's mid laner to catch him.
Seeing Lin Yuyu like this, how could the other people have the nerve to rest?
Among the IGNing kings, he is the most arrogant and has an impulsive personality. If he had achieved such results in the past, he would have been crazy and didn't know what was going on. But now he knows that IG and he can go so smoothly and win the game so beautifully... It can basically be said that Lin Yuyu occupies a large area. Naturally, he would not dare to make mistakes if he took partial credit.
Through this period of contact, he also learned about Lin Yuyu's character. On the surface, he seemed to be joking but not upright. But once it affects the game, Lin Yuyu will definitely not be able to give a good look. Don’t you see that TheShy has been reduced to a substitute now?
He finally had a game to play in, and he could also show off. King Ning didn't want to go back to the bench and sit on the bench. According to the system that Lin Yuyu gave IG, if KidKid is used as a tool, it is estimated that winning the game will not be a big problem.
Seeing Lin Yuyu like this, everyone who was still laughing and joking at first started to rank in a good manner! TheShy, who saw all this, fell silent and opened Rnak alone to start training.
In the next few days, the audience all discovered that not only did Lin Yuyu not start the game on IG, but he was replaced by West! TheShy on the road has also been replaced by Duke! But the good thing is that IG has been playing weak teams these days.
However, after losing Lin Yuyu and TheShy, it was obvious that although IG still won the game, the rhythm of the game was no longer as smooth as before, giving people a stumbling feeling.
In the game between IG and JDG, they overturned and lost a small Bo1 game. However, in the end, they still managed to win the game 2:1 without any danger.
The day before the game against SNG, TheShy finally completed training and regained his starting position. After he appeared on the stage, IG's overall performance suddenly became much better. With the experience of the past few days, TheShy has obviously become much more stable.
Although he will still be caught to death, he can basically change his head. At the worst, he can flash to the opponent to show his value, and he will no longer be caught to death in vain like before.
With TheShy sharing the pressure on the top lane, Ning and Rookie pushed their own rhythm to the extreme and started killing in various ways. There is no need for operations at all, and the game can be won purely by relying on personal strength.
After the three Bo3 games, the S7 intercontinental competition finally arrived.
S7 is the first intercontinental competition of League of Legends, and it is also an official large-scale event, attracting unprecedented attention.
The date of the event has also been announced by Riot Games before. It will be held on July 6th. The venue will be Xiong City, Baowan Province. As of July 6th, the top four teams in the LPL Summer Split standings will be eligible to participate. qualifications.
IG has maintained a winning streak so far, leading the entire LPL and qualifying for the intercontinental competition.
At this time, countless fans also called for IG to let Lin Yuyu return to the starting lineup to play in the intercontinental competition.
Everyone has seen IG's performance in the past few days. Although they won the game, even the Fish Belly team was stumbling and was far from as smooth as before against strong teams such as EDG and WE.
Only then did the audience realize that Lin Yuyu should be the most important core of the IG team that was killing the LPL, but Lin Yuyu has always been a substitute. The audience and fans were naturally anxious!
Compared to EDG, RNG and WE... IG's combat effectiveness is obviously much stronger with Lin Yuyu on the court, and it has the greatest hope of defeating LCK!
LPL fans are so eager to beat the LCK!
Following the darkest moment of the S5 World Championship, the LPL has not received any honors around the world for two and a half consecutive years, especially this year's MSI. WE, which everyone had high hopes for, fell once again!
They are so eager to win a world championship!
LPL, we can no longer remain silent!
In the midst of everyone's expectations, it was not until the night of July 1st that Lin Yuyu withstood the gank of four people and defeated Ah Shui three times in SOLO.
It has to be said that this kind of training intensity is really full. Ah Shui himself is a player with explosive laning ability. It is extremely difficult to win. He also has to beat Ah Shui against the gank of four people. Lin Yuyu has already started from June 22nd. , struggled until July 1st to win against Ah Shui three times.
Seeing that Lin Yuyu was so miserable by himself, TheShy secretly made up his mind not to advance so rashly in the future when death is inevitable. At least, he should do so when he can force a flash from the opponent!
When he learned that Lin Yuyu had finally completed his training, Su Xiaoluo called everyone together overnight!
"Everyone has worked hard, but the next few days will be even harder." Su Xiaoluo looked at everyone and said, "In order for everyone to adapt to the different environment in advance, we will set off tomorrow morning, so we all go to bed early today. ”
No one has any objection to this, and they also hope to adapt to the environment as soon as possible.
Su Xiaoluo left with Mafa, but not long after, Mafa came back alone, holding the schedule in his hand, and posted it one by one: "I also posted it to the group, please pay attention."
Lin Yuyu took it and took a look.
IG has two games on the afternoon of July 7th. As the No. 1 seed in the LPL, IG's opponents are the No. 1 seed SKT in the LCK and the No. 1 seed FW in the LMS division! !
According to the rules of the competition, the round-robin points competition will be played first.
After the points match, the division with the second and third points will play in the semi-finals, and the winner will go to the finals with the division with the top spot!
"SKT and Flash Wolves are not fuel-efficient lamps." Rookie's expression gradually became serious: "Does this mean that the 'benefits' brought by our No. 1 seed is to play against the No. 1 seeds in other regions?"
"That's right." Mafa replied.
The LCK's domination of the LPL and even the world continues, especially SKT, a team that is now at its peak. To put it bluntly, it is simply terrifying!
"Afraid of being a chicken?" King Ning shouted: "We are an elite force. If we don't become the No. 1 seed, how can we beat weak chickens? What's the point? Now TheShy and Brother Jianjian have completed training and returned to the starting lineup! The No. 1 seed? Just kill it randomly!”
"No matter how strong a team is, there are still weaknesses." Lin Xuanyu also nodded with a smile: "As long as we play well, we will definitely win!"
"Yes." Mafa nodded: "We know their playing style very well, but they don't know much about Brother Jianjian. We still have a good chance of winning!"
"Everyone, relax and go to bed early." Su Xiaoluo said, turned and left.
A group of players were left, no longer in the mood to play with their phones, gathered together to talk about recent mistakes in the game and what to pay attention to.
It was not until ten o'clock that Lin Yuyu returned to his room first. After that, others also left the training room one after another.
Lying on the bed, Lin Yuyu relaxed and opened Station B.
As soon as I entered, I saw a video. In the video, a UP leader is analyzing how to beat the LCK team. In the video barrages, overhead barrages such as 'It doesn't matter, SKT will take action' will appear from time to time.
Lin Yuyu immediately laughed!
SKT?
In fact, SKT has been going downhill since this summer. It's just that Faker's form is really hot, covering up the shortcomings of his teammates.
Not everyone is like Faker. After reaching the top, he still seeks self-breakthrough and always carries his original desire for the championship.
After winning two world championship trophies, Bang's determination to win the championship has begun to weaken. After winning MSI this year, his professional attitude has become significantly more relaxed than before.
As long as this point is grasped, it will be easy to open a breakthrough from the bottom lane in the early stage. In addition, Huni is also an offensive top laner, but his personal strength is not the strongest among the top top laners, and he will most likely be defeated against TheShy.
Rookie basically has no problem keeping an eye on Faker, and has advantages in the top and bottom lanes...
King Ning, a super rhythm maniac, will naturally expand his advantages and enter IG's operating rhythm.
IG’s problem with beating SKT is actually not that big!
Moreover, in addition to training these days, Lin Yuyu also specially prepared a meeting gift for SKT.
I believe there will be enough for SKT to drink by then!
Then he checked Tieba Hupu again... Lin Yuyu also gradually fell asleep.
……
At 8:30 a.m. the next day, the team members had prepared their things and boarded the bus that picked them up.
There were also EDG players in the car. Under the leadership of Ming Kai, they got out of the car to help with their luggage.
"Yo... 7-chan!" Lin Yuyu handed the luggage to Ming Kai and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so dark circles under your eyes?"
"Your old father is still worried about you? I asked you why you didn't start the game!" Meiko said with a smile before Mingkai could speak.
"Rolling, rolling..." Mingkai stared at Meiko with death: "If you have the strength, grab more suitcases!"
"Tian Tian, how do you get these glasses? They are quite high-end." Lin Yuyu turned around with a smile.
"A store near the club." Meiko replied: "It's a pity that you are not short-sighted, otherwise I will take you to get one another day."
"I think I'm more suitable to wear sunglasses." Lin Yuyu laughed: "Wearing gold-rimmed glasses always makes me look like a polite scum. Hahahaha..."
"You are a polite scumbag, I am a sunny and handsome boy." Meiko said angrily.
"I think it's just a little puppy!"
Things have been put away, Mafa and Abu are sitting together, and others are also taking their seats.
The bus started quickly, and Lin Yuyu and Ming Kai sat together. Mingkai was currently turning on his mobile phone to check some version change information that had just been released. Seeing this information, Ming Kai frowned unconsciously!
In the next version, Ashe and the policewoman will be weakened. The EDG team's ADC Zet used to use Ashe the most, which means that their tactics and system will inevitably be affected.
Lin Yuyu also leaned his head to watch together. Although he was reborn and remembered everything in general directions, some detailed information still needed to be checked.
The arrival of the incense burner version is getting closer and closer, especially in the playoff version, the incense burner version has just emerged.
He is very strong, but only by catering to the version can he truly thrive!
It wasn't until the bus stopped outside the RNG club and UZI and others got on the bus that Ming Kai put away his mobile phone and Lin Yuyu became more serious.
This was his first official meeting with UZI after his rebirth. Before, they had only met occasionally in the interview room or in the backstage passage, and they had never met as opponents on the field.
"I didn't expect to be your teammate first." After putting down his suitcase, UZI noticed Lin Yuyu and smiled casually. But his eyes were always fixed on Lin Yuyu's face, as if he wanted to see through Lin Yuyu completely.
Their team's recent two 4-guaranteed-1 systems have achieved certain results, and the more he understands these two systems, the more Uzi realizes the horror of Lin Yuyu. Such a powerful and almost perfect system can be developed, but how can it be simple?
And there is a consensus within the RNG club that... this system must have been developed by Lin Yuyu for himself in the first place. But they didn't understand why Lin Yuyu didn't use it himself, but chose the jungler King Ning to be the first to use it!
"It's good to be a teammate first, and then give me some time to gain experience." Lin Xuyu replied with a smile on his face: "I haven't even learned to block yet, so you just ask me to challenge the boss. It's too much."< br>
For a moment, everyone laughed.
Lin Yuyu's words seem to be self-effacing and complimenting UZI, but in fact, they are not a kind of self-confidence.
Strong people never need to take the initiative to show off their strength. This...is exactly the embodiment of confidence.
The bus soon started again, picked up the WE people and took the team members to the airport.
It takes about two hours and twenty minutes to fly from Magic City to Xiongshi. The time is quite short. As soon as you wake up, you have arrived at your destination.
As a local competition area, the organizer of LMS also sent vehicles in advance to pick up the players and staff of the four teams to a high-end hotel.
Originally, Lin Yuyu thought it would be quite troublesome, but everything went smoothly. When he arrived at the hotel, he checked in directly and was greeted by a man wearing a work badge.
"Welcome everyone, let me take you to get familiar with this place. The eighth floor is where everyone lives, the ninth floor is the training room, and the second floor gym. If you have time, you can go to exercise. Then if you have any questions, you can call the front desk or Contact me directly." The man said slowly.
After a while, the team members arrived at the training room on the ninth floor.
"Okay, this place is pretty good." King Ning sat on the gaming chair and looked around.
"Today you will get familiar with this place first, and we will start playing training matches tomorrow." Abramovich came over and said.
Early the next morning, the four LCK teams also arrived in Xiongshi and also stayed in this hotel.
In the following days, the head coaches of the four teams often gathered together for meetings to discuss the styles, strengths and weaknesses of the teams in other divisions.
Outside the world, the popularity of the intercontinental competition continues to rise as time goes by, and various discussions and pre-match predictions are endless!
Especially the game between IG and SKT is particularly eye-catching!
That is a big mountain that has stood in front of the LPL team for a long, long time without wavering!
Therefore, too many people’s expectations have been placed on IG! ! !
Against this background, July 6th came as scheduled.
It is worth mentioning that of the four LPL teams, only IG does not have a schedule today.
EDG played against MVP and M17 respectively, RNG played against SSG, and WE played against AHQ.
The above is all the schedule related to LPL today.
Therefore, the IG players did not rush to the game, but gathered in the hotel training room to watch the live broadcast.
At the scene, most of them were local fans in the region, and the teams they supported naturally belonged to the LMS division.
Of course there are LPL fans too.
The entire afternoon session went very slowly, or in other words, it felt very long.
In the first game, EDG played against MVP. They fell behind for a while in the early and mid-term. In the mid-term, the factory director stepped up and started several waves with perfect timing. He led the team to blow the counterattack horn and finally turned defeat into victory!
In the second game, RNG played against SSG, and the result was a bit pity. RNG used the "three-step incense pot" system centered around Mlxg.
They gained a huge advantage in the early stage, and their economic lead was close to 7K in the early 20 minutes. However, Mlxg was born as a rhythm jungler and could not perfectly transform from a rhythm jungler to a "wild core" in a short period of time. When he saw an opportunity, he Easy to get addicted to.
In the mid-term, they were ambushed by SSG twice in a row, and then they found opportunities one after another to complete a dramatic comeback and defeat RNG!
In the third game, EDG played against M17, and the result was also disappointing. The factory director was severely restricted and had no room to play. Others failed to take over the game.
The fourth, the most critical battle, WE vs. AHQ!
All the spectators and commentators were very nervous before the game. Once they lose this game, unless they can win three of the four games tomorrow, the LPL division points may even be at the bottom!
The final result once again shocked everyone.
All members of WE were out of shape and made frequent mistakes at critical moments. Their early advantage was abruptly reversed by AHQ!
Defeat! ! !
On the first day, LPL only won one out of four games! ! !
For a time, the official created a lot of heat for many days. At this time, it was like a flood, setting off a storm on the Internet!
"The code workers took time off just to watch the game, so you can show me this? Damn it!!!"
"I really can't be disappointed with the LPL anymore. I'll live in the shadow of other regions for the rest of my life!!"
"I don't want to read it. 10% off water bottles and some people are claiming that this year is the most promising year for the LPL???"
"I find that LPL is getting weaker and weaker now. Even AHQ can't beat it? Go home and raise pigs!!"
What's even worse is that he can even say vicious words such as selling G and being a thief.
"The result is quite sad, but don't give up. After all, there is still a chance tomorrow." Wawa couldn't even raise his head when he spoke: "But I have to say that now LPL is really forced into a desperate situation."
"Keep up the good work. To be honest, I still didn't expect such a scene." Miller sighed, his eyes red.
Is our LPL now so weak that we can only be at the bottom in the intercontinental competition? ? ? Yesterday I went to the hospital to get some eye-dilating medicine, but today I can’t see anything. This chapter was almost blind typing. After 10 hours of typing, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I’m just thinking hard about how to write about the next game, and I’ll write more tomorrow!
(End of chapter)
