Chapter 67 Playoffs and Cruel Reality
The days of training at WE went by like this.
The LSPL playoff match day soon arrived, and there were only two days left before the youth training trials.
Before the selection competition began, Lin Shuyang decided to take the newcomers who persisted until the end to the competition site to experience it.
"Interview, missing player, how do you feel now."
On the bus, several newcomers sat together with the ME team members.
Perhaps due to his personality, or perhaps destiny, Jiumeng found Missing. Regarding the upcoming BO5 playoffs, he was curious about the mentality of the assistant who was about the same age as him before the game.
"Feeling..."
"It's the same as playing games in normal times, except there's one more game in number." Missing said matter-of-factly.
One more game?
The black angel sitting on the chair next to him suddenly thought that it was because he had not learned mathematics well, because it was completely different from the calculation of missing.
"It's just two more games, right?"
"No, just one game."
"The difference between a BO3 game of 2-0 and a BO5 game of 3-0 game is just one more game!" Snow explained for his supporting partner.
As a man who can support two top supports in the club, Snow doesn't care whether the missing is a slip of the tongue and directly thinks of it from the most arrogant angle.
Xiaotian then asked: "Are you nervous? Being watched by so many pairs of eyes will definitely make you feel uncomfortable if you make a mistake."
ZBB stood up and made extremely exaggerated movements with his hands: "Don't worry, kid, you are overthinking. There are basically no spectators at the secondary league games, and the tickets are given away and no one wants them."
"When the game starts, there is no extra time to think about all the mess."
"Besides, do you think the desensitization training that the coach arranges for us on weekdays is in vain?"
"The small scenes in the secondary league are nothing compared to my brother's ultimate invincible pianist in Zaun."
"Hey zbb, just say what you say, please be quiet." Magic left his seat in horror. "All the pink on my face is shaking all over me."
"That's the truth..." Xiaotian thought about it carefully and it was indeed the case.
When I used to play games at home, even if there were one or two more people standing behind me, I would feel uncomfortable all over and my chest would feel uncomfortable.
After practicing in WE for a period of time, this situation basically doesn't happen anymore.
"By the way, can we advance to the LPL after playing this game?" Some newcomers are curious about this question.
Snow shook his head, "It's not that simple. The rule for LSPL teams to advance to LPL is that only the season champions can advance directly, and then the second and third place teams will compete with the two teams that won the LPL spring relegation match for the last two spots."
"In other words, if we win the semifinals, we will only be guaranteed a chance to play in the promotion and relegation rounds. Only by winning the finals can we be promoted directly to the LPL."
"And if we lose, we will have to play the third-place game with another team that lost the semi-finals to compete for the last promotion and relegation spot."
Jiumeng continued to ask: "The LPL relegation match seems to be behind us. Who are the four bottom teams this year?"
"Lao Gan Daddy, Snake Team, GT and VG!"
"Hey, I feel like there's no one to mess with."
"No one comes up and thinks about playing promotion and relegation matches with LPL teams. Our goal is to win the championship."
"Hehe, yes, yes, champion!"
"We will definitely win until the end!" BeryL, who had been silent for the whole time, joined in. In two months, he had gained considerable fat on his face.
When the topic came to this point, the players talked about the four clubs at the bottom of the LPL. "Let's not mention GT and VG. How can Lao Gan Daddy and Snake Team be reduced to this? One is the S5 Summer Split Champion, and the other is a team that was still competing with our team for a spot in the World Championship last year."
"Boss Ding is true. He spends all his money on swords, and only buys pension insurance for SKT players. According to me, the money to buy Monkey and Chicken combination is not as good as to use it to buy Brother Yang, the only designated world championship quota in LPL. Let’s find out more!”
"It goes without saying how valuable it is to take us from the bottom of the spring split to the second place in the league."
Probably the top laner has a wild and free-spirited beast in his heart. When it comes to passion, Spunk jumped up on the spot and performed a mantis punch. "In the summer split, under the leadership of Brother Yang, look at the two heroes of WE sweeping the LPL. Win first and second place and go straight to the World Championships! ”
"What, am I right?"
For a long time, Spunk found that no one echoed him, and looked around strangely.
The bus fell into silence for a moment, and the faces of the ME team members suddenly showed a somewhat lonely mood.
"Spunk, if we really make it to the LPL, we won't be WE's team next season."
Riot Games changed the rules as early as the end of S4. A club is not allowed to hold ownership of two league teams at the same level at the same time.
This is also the key reason why the blue and white teams disbanded at the speed of light after Samsung and White won the championship.
In other words, if ME advances to the LPL in this spring split, the club in the summer split will most likely sell the team's spots to other investors who want to enter the LPL league.

"Don't think so much!"
While the players were still discussing the four bottom clubs in the LPL, Lin Shuyang's attention had already turned here.
Stand up and walk from the front row to the middle of the team members.
Lin Shuyang said in a gentle tone: "After entering the LPL, how the club arranges quotas is the club's business."
"As players, your task is to win every next game and fully demonstrate your strength and value."
"And my mission is to send each of you to the stage of a higher league."
"Why, could it be that you are worried that if the quota is sold, you players who relied on hard power to enter the LPL will lose a contract?"
"To give you a lowdown, as early as when we still had four or five regular season games before it ended, many LPL teams had put their olive branches in my arms."
For LSPL players, it is a tacit fact that they use the secondary league as a springboard to enter the LPL or even higher stages.
There is nothing to hide.
It’s just...
"It's just that compared to leaving midway, if it can be proven that everyone here has the hard power to knock on the door of LPL, starting position, salary contract, etc., what will be worth worrying about?"
"Pah!"
"Boys, to be honest, I would rather we finish this playoffs, separate after being promoted to LPL, and shine in the LPL team as stars in the sky."
To describe it as a pile of shit when gathered together and a sky full of stars when scattered may be a bit too biased.
With four SR cards + one SSR, it is certainly not a problem to enter the LPL arena.
But if you want to gain a foothold in the LPL in the future, or even go further, a qualified club manager will take apart the four SRs and disrupt them.
Either keep it in the team system, or sell it.
The only thing that is impossible is to keep the original team and go to the end of the world...
