Chapter 112 I just hate reading less books! !
After MSI is over, the teams in each major region are truly welcoming their own holidays.
However, the holiday is only for some clubs. After all, they have been on holiday since the end of the spring regular season. Those major championships and championship contenders are still busy making preparations for the start of the summer season.
The most outrageous thing among them is the LCK division. They just finished the mid-season invitational tournament on May 22nd, and they couldn't wait to beat the drum of the summer split on the 30th.
In other words, SKT, which won the championship, only had less than a week of rest time before and after.
Well... to be precise, after winning the championship, the SKT club was very "generous" in giving the players three days of rest, including one day on the road... and then all members returned to the team on the 26th to start the next step. The training camp once again launched an impact on the club’s goal of three consecutive championships.
Think about it, even if you only get one day off in a month or two, even if you win the championship at the end of the season, it is only two or three days of rest. No wonder Bang will say that there is no difference between winning and not winning. Feeling the difference, he started the meditation mode in this summer's competition, and after reducing the amount of training, his condition declined rapidly.
The start of the LPL summer season is ten days late. It will not officially start until June 8th. The start date is delayed, and the end time is also delayed. Therefore, many LPL viewers complain about the unreasonable competition system of their own division. It is always better than Next door, I came into contact with the World Championship version ten days and a month later.
You are still holding on to the playoffs and fighting for a spot in the World Championship. Others have already started studying the opponents in the World Championship early, and you are more than a step behind others in understanding the version.
The start of the competition is scheduled for June 8th, but the draw ceremony was arranged early on May 30th.
The draw ceremony for the Summer Split was held at 19:30 on the same day at the Super Mall in the Magic City. The competition format is the same as the Spring Split, with the twelve teams divided into two groups AB, with a double round-robin in the same group and a single round-robin in different groups.
On the same day, Lin Shuyang took 694 and the managers and coaches of the other eleven teams to the draw site to witness the group results.
Before the game, the LPL official arranged for WE's former AD player Xiao Xiao to be the guest of the draw, while Riot Games and Tencent Games sent representatives Li Chun and Jasper as on-site guests to comment on the results of the group draw.
After the draw, there was no difference between the memories of the two groups AB and Lin Shuyang.
Group A: EDG, WE, IG, SS, IM, TES!
Group B: RNG, OMG, NB, SNG, JDG, LGD!
Yes, their TES team was assigned to Group A where EDG and WE were together.
The first game is on No. 9, and the first round is a showdown with old enemy Qi Jiang.
As soon as the group results came out, the LPL e-sports forum exploded.
[No, are you serious about the distribution of the strength gap between the two groups AB? 】
[Except for RNG, Group B is all a bunch of experienced babies pecking each other, and Group A is all gods fighting. 】
[Le, the official took the lead in making things happen, right? Put all three companies, EDG, WE, and TES into the same group...]
[Those who say that Group B is just a bunch of noobs pecking each other, I hope your face won’t be swollen when the competition between different groups comes. 】
[What's Group B? Isn't it true that the entire division is full of rookies pecking each other and bloating monsters? In the World Championship, they will only serve SKT steadily? 】
[In a word, WE has never been discouraged when Leader Guang is here. Only after Leader Guang retired did he realize that everyone is the same. 】
[Hey hey hey, you guys are talking about your issues. Anyway, I’m looking forward to the game on the 9th, where the boss will fight against the pig factory! WE versus IG, this is not a continuation of the ancient grudge match from the S3 era. 】
……
The new season is just around the corner, and major teams have entered a stage of crazy appointments for training matches.
Among them, TES, who was promoted to LPL and competed in the league with almost a new lineup, naturally attracted the attention of many teams.
They really want to see if Lin Shuyang really has the ability to train this new army to a terrifying combat capability in such a short time in the secondary league, or if he can become the points baby that everyone is eager to love this season.
Something worth mentioning, in training matches.
The TES team led by Lin Shuyang neither performed poorly nor had supermodel statistics. All in all, everything looked so "normal"!
Yes, normal.
Normally, the upper and lower limits are the level of a mid-level LPL team. It won't be at the bottom, but it is only a stage where it is possible to get tickets for the playoffs.
In this way, the leaders of the LPL clubs are both envious and relieved.
I am envious that the TES team can have such a person in charge who can improve the level of newcomers in a short period of time. WE's ranking first in sales of new LPL players every year is really thanks to this best-selling gentleman.
At the same time, the peace of mind is that Lin Shuyang is still in the category of a normal person. It is the limit to train some inexperienced newcomers to the qualified level of LPL. Anything further depends on whether the players' personal talents match.
Except for a few of the major clubs who have come to this conclusion, they still choose to retain follow-up observation of TES, and most of the others decisively turn to study the top three teams of WE, RNG and EDG, which are strong contenders for world championship tickets.
I don’t know what caused it, but it seems that everyone has forgotten one thing.
Which team would reveal its true level and core tactical system early in a training match?
Also, since they are a newcomer and TES has reached such a level before the league has even started, is it possible that the team will just stand still in the next two months?
Also acting in sync with this are Riot designers.
Mostly because they don't do anything, these designers are absolutely sorry for the salary and are worried about being fired. Some heroes are adjusted from left to right, right to left, and their values jump repeatedly.
In the version update, a piece of news that made many teams in the LPL, especially EDG, bear the brunt of the news.
Dashu, the version has been revised!
Yes, the former leader of the top laners, the man who allowed EDG to dominate the LPL with Twisted Treant, Maokai and the Big Tree with three axes, had his original ultimate move replaced by Riot in the mid-season version, which can help The Revenge Whirlpool, which provides high damage reduction to yourself and your teammates, has become a natural way to start a team at a very long distance.
"Fist's brains are really outrageous. The top lane hero has cut off the most critical tankiness skill, so why not redo his other skills to do more damage to wild monsters and throw him to the jungle."
In the TES training match, Li Sining, who was in charge of data analysis, couldn't help complaining that the replacement of the ultimate move caused an exaggerated drop in tankiness, which almost completely sent him out of the top unit.
In a corner where no one noticed, Lin Shuyang quietly gave his wife a thumbs up. She was forced to work part-time because she failed to recruit an analyst. Due to the major changes in the summer competition, she needed to sort out hero data and version research materials. Like mountains.
Even with this, he could predict Dashu's future employment direction at a glance. Lin Shuyang had to admire his wife's talent in data and writing.
In addition to the big tree, some popular heroes in the mid-season have also been stabbed.
First of all, a series of heroes such as Gray Lady, Kled, and Galio, who have been rampant in the upper unit for a long time, were weakened. Secondly, the prince who moved from the jungle to the top lane was also caught by the designer, and the damage of his ultimate move was cut. And then At the end of S6, the ultimate damage level of the poor blind boy was reduced by 150 points. Riot designers realized that they had to adjust some of the data. Although the strength is still not as good as in S6, it is still possible to return to the game in the summer split. A little hope.
If there are any weakening, the policewoman and big bug will be strengthened, or their skills will be adjusted, or they will be able to obtain benefits from equipment. The appearance rate is soaring in both rank and professional competitions.
The refresh time of other wild monsters, the attributes of minions, etc. have also been slightly adjusted, and the rhythm is completely different from the spring game.
There are so many data that sometimes Lin Shuyang has to wonder whether the reason why the LPL league is deliberately more than ten days slower than the LCK is because it deliberately leaves time for the teams in the LPL division to copy their homework.
……
Time flew by.
The sun rises on time on June 9th!
TES base.
After the players got up on time at 11:40 noon, they did morning exercises in front of the base as usual. After the morning exercises, everyone finished their breakfast leisurely, and then got on the base car to prepare for the LPL regular season game. site. There is no change from the spring game. The regular season venue continues to be located on the 9th floor of Zhengda Plaza in Pudong New Area.
"Player cards, check the player cards, don't forget this."
"What...are your peripherals still upstairs?"
"Hurry and get it. We haven't reported it to the official. You need to bring your own peripherals."
"It's not too hot today. You can wear a jacket or not."
"..."
On the base car, 694 took the trouble to remind the players over and over again.
Before setting off, the all-powerful players in the game showed their nervousness on their faces one by one, and at the same time, they also found them at the same time.
It was my first time to play a game, and the opponent I was going to play was EDG. It was normal to have such a reaction.
Lin Shuyang sat quietly in his position as the head coach. Probably when he reaches a certain age, he will miss the memories endlessly. His eyes were quite nostalgic as he looked at the pretending calmness of the few comrades in front of him.
Well, I remember when I played the first game in S3, I seemed very nervous.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Let's go!"
As able panted and took off his keyboard from the base and returned to the car, Lin Shuyang said to the old driver of the base car in the driver's seat.
There were eight people in the car, excluding the driver and master, five players, plus two coaches, him and 694, and a psychological counselor who had just joined the club. As for Xiao Cheng, who was also the team leader, he had already arrived at the competition venue in advance to make task arrangements.
Yes, he brought the psychological counselor to the team’s first game!
When the base car drove to a gentle road, the psychological counselor with a gentle temperament began his pre-match counseling work.
With a few simple words and two small games to relax, the four people, except Jin Gong, who were originally nervous, immediately became much better.
Originally, this task should have been completed by him or 694.
But perhaps because of taking over the management tasks of the club, Lin Shuyang's temperament as a leader has become stronger, and his conversation and behavior are more like a big leader, rather than the reliable big brother who could get along well with the players before in WE.
This is a reality that cannot be changed.
Therefore, if Lin Shuyang is in such a state to provide psychological counseling to the players, I am afraid it will be counterproductive and further increase the psychological pressure on the players for the first match.
As for 694...the unlucky kid just hates not reading enough!
The heavy training schedule on weekdays is enough for him to digest, and he really can't spare the time to study.
……
The main square of Shanghai Magic City!
The 9th happened to coincide with the Friday period at the end of the work week, and the game schedule included several high-profile clubs such as EDG, WE, and TES. The entrance to the venue was already crowded.
Thanks to the accumulation in the previous two years, the LPL officials, who are increasingly wealthy, have made a new upgrade to the competition venue in the summer split.
For example, a special photo area, a new voting wall, a summoner service station and other areas have been set up. In addition, the surrounding stores also display the new uniforms of each LPL team.
Within the competition venue, the event organizers also carried out a series of optimization and improvements to the on-site environment in order to bring a better viewing experience to the audience.
Cheng Qian, as the assistant to the boss of TES E-Sports Club, is at the entrance of the competition at Supermarket Square.
“There are only two requirements for distributing free support items. First, follow our TES E-sports official blog account on Weibo, or Mr. Lin’s personal account. Second, follow comments in e-sports forums or actively write articles about the TES team. The action of the thread ”
Cheng Qian emphasized again to the three female college students in front of her who were hired with an hourly salary of 100 yuan.
"You will inform the players who received the free aid items when distributing them. Each aid item will have a corresponding lottery code. After the game, if the TES team wins the game, we will release the corresponding winning code on the official blog. At that time, with the The lottery codes can be exchanged with the staff for team peripheral gifts.”
"Got it!"
"Okay!"
"Um... I am also a fan of Brother Yang. Can I keep a copy for myself after the distribution?"
"I have established a tes support group!"
The two responses were followed by a timid question.
The little girl wearing glasses turned on her phone and turned to the Q group page to prove it.
Looking from a distance, it turned out to be close to a thousand people!
Cheng Qian smiled and said, "Of course!"
"And our TES club is in its early stage and still lacks a lot of talents in team operations. If you like e-sports, you can consider applying for relevant positions in the future."
“There are part-time and full-time jobs!”
After receiving such a reply from Cheng Qian, not only did the girl with glasses take the initiative to ask questions, but the other two people also felt much better emotionally.
Soon, the three of them pulled out the TES team poster and red banner from the side where the audience was checking in.
“Follow the TES team’s official account and players’ personal accounts on Weibo and receive team support items for free!”
"Get it for free?"
Originally, many of the spectators waiting to check in at the square came for TES. Coupled with the unique promotional photos of the team on the poster, the three part-time college students were soon filled with fans who came to inquire. .
"What, just get free support items, but if you win the game, you can also get a lottery?"
When they learned that among the free support items given away by TES, there were also coupons that could be used for lucky draws if you win today's game, more and more people were attracted.
Thanks to the generous hourly wages of part-time job recruiters at TES, the three college students always answered questions from the players with a smile.
The three people have a clear division of labor. One is responsible for checking the proof of interest in the TES team provided by the players, the other is responsible for distributing small bags containing player support cards and small stickers, and the last one is responsible for explaining the lottery details after the game to the players.
Of course, there are also those who simply dismiss it.
EDG fan: "Huh, because the team doesn't have many fans, of course I have to give it away for free! The raffle ticket... You can't win if you play EDG in the first game, so of course it won't hurt to give it away."
"As expected of a navy team, they started marketing again before the game even started!"
