Chapter 166 Uzi wins the championship after six years! Uzi is the best ADC in the world! (Ask for monthly ticket)
Although after each year's World Championship ends, there is more than two months of vacation before the start of the next year's Spring Split.
But these two months seem very long, but in fact they are fleeting.
On November 4th, the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals ended.
On November 10, Dark completed a two-year, $7 million contract extension with the G2 team.
Then, after completing some advertising endorsements and filming of advertising videos, Mingrui returned to China again and returned to his parents.
For nearly a month, Mingrui's daily activity was to conduct daily game live broadcasts on YouTube in accordance with the contract. After the live broadcast, he would accompany his parents or travel.
The vacation time is very pleasant and wonderful, but the only uncomfortable part is that because foreigners do not celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year and only celebrate their Western Christmas, Mingrui’s return time is scheduled for December 28, which is Christmas Within three days after that.
So, after confirming the time to return to the team, Mingrui took advantage of the last chance during the vacation to take his parents on one last trip.
This time, the target location of Mingrui Travel is no longer near Pingxiang, but directly to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province in the north!
In addition to wanting to visit the legendary eighth wonder of the world, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, there is also another most important goal, which is to "experience" the 2018 LPL division in advance. Is it what they say? The most promising year for LPL.
Because this year's Demacia Cup will be held right here!
This year's Demacia Cup will be held from December 20th to 23rd. There are eight participating teams, namely IG, RNG, JDG, RW, EDG, TOP, SNG and SDG.
Originally, Mingrui had "high hopes" for the newly upgraded version of the RNG team. Unexpectedly, when the German Cup adopted a double-elimination system, the RNG team was directly eliminated the next day, which made Mingrui unbearable. Those who live there are called garbage.
What surprised Mingrui was that the IG team was really as brave as netizens said.
Whether it is top laner Theshy, jungler Ning, mid laner Rookie, bottom laner Jackeylove, or assist Baolan, it can be said that the IG team has almost no disadvantage in the four lanes, and everyone's personal strength is top-notch in the LPL.
Especially top laner Theshy and bottom laner Jackeylove. When watching the IG team's game, Mingrui has been comparing and simulating it in his mind. What if the top laner Wunder and bottom laner Perkz of his own G2 team were facing off against them? In the process, can you create the advantages you want to see?
The answer in Mingrui's mind is that the bottom lane should be 50-50 open, and Perkz can even gain some advantages with his game experience.
But on the top road, if Wunder and Theshy are in line, it can only be a 50-50 split at best.
So if the G2 team meets the IG team in the World Championship, the top lane may be a problem. After returning, they need to find someone to give Wunder special training.
The four-day German Cup journey ended quickly, and the results of the game were soon released.
In the end, the IG team successfully won the German Cup championship, the TOP team won the runner-up, the SN team won the third place, and the EDG team won the third place.
This result also surprised Mingrui. I thought that even if Zhuo Ding Knight’s SN team couldn’t beat the IG team, they would be able to get at least the runner-up spot. However, I didn’t expect that the TOP team, a little-known team, would get the runner-up spot as soon as they debuted. .
The truth made Mingrui couldn't help but exclaim that the three teams RNG, EDG and WE are indeed the garbage among the garbage. In the German Cup where only eight teams participated, they couldn't even get the top three.
The WE team is the most rubbish one. They didn't even qualify for the German Cup!
So what if LPL teams habitually use the German Cup to train? Garbage is indeed garbage!
After the trip to Xi'an, Mingrui sent his two elders back home, and after saying goodbye reluctantly, he returned to the European Division and the G2 team club without stopping.
It was also on December 28 that Mingrui officially met all his teammates for the new season for the first time.
"Dark, I am Wunder, and I am very lucky to be a teammate of the FMVP in the finals!"
Top laner Wunder has a very festive-looking face and is very polite when shaking hands with Dark. After all, he knows very well that in the current G2 team, Dark is the well-deserved big brother!
"Dark, I'm Caps. During the semifinals of last summer split, didn't you ask me if I would like to join the G2 team? Now I'm here!"
"And to be honest, I actually regret not coming to G2 earlier. If I had come earlier, wouldn't I have been the world champion long ago?"
The mid laner, Caps, is a very young and delicate-looking boy. When he introduced himself to Dark, his face was filled with regret, thinking that he was still too young last year.
"Dark, I am Perkz, the new AD AD of the G2 team. I hope you can lead me to win the S8 world championship."
Perkz, the bottom laner, said to Dark with a playful smile, and then succeeded in getting a look from Dark.
"Dark, I am Hylissang. I was originally going to FNC to defect to Caps. As soon as I heard that he was coming to G2, I quickly followed him. I hope that I will not disappoint everyone in the next year. ”
The assistant Hylissang is a very old-looking man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a full beard. He did not shake hands with Dark, but clasped fists at Dark. He had a kind of Zhang Fei's temperament in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Hello everyone, my name is Dark. I hope that in the next year, we can help each other and make progress together."
"As for the G2 team's goal in the S8 season, it is also very simple, that is to continue to win the Grand Slam in 2018!"
"That is, the EU Spring Split Champion, the MSI Champion, the European and American International Competition Champion, the EU Summer Split Champion, and the S8 World Championship!"
"Let'sgoG2!"
Mingrui smiled and said solemnly to his four teammates, and then without any more greetings, he immediately entered the training and preparations for the new season under the leadership of the coach.
……
The start date of the 2018 EU spring regular season is January 20, 2018, so there are still three full weeks before the G2 team’s first game in the new year.
However, for the LPL division, their spring regular season starts five days earlier than the EU division, officially starting on January 15th.
Obviously, due to the collective failure of the LPL division in the S7 World Championship, after the start of this year's LPL spring regular season, the viewing popularity of LPL games has dropped significantly compared with the same period last year.
But at the same time, the viewership of the EU Spring Split is more than ten times higher than the same period last year!
In other words, even if the EU competition time is late at night in China time, there are still many Chinese viewers who are willing to stay up late to watch the EU competition, or to be more precise, the G2 team's game!
As for who they were looking at?
The answer is undoubtedly the only Chinese aid player of the G2 team, jungler Dark!
However, the psychological activities of these Chinese audiences when watching the G2 team's games are quite polarized.
Some Chinese viewers who are championship fans immediately became loyal fans of the G2 team after the team won the S7 world championship. They hope that after the G2 team's lineup has been newly upgraded, they can still block and kill the gods like last year. Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, it is best to complete the massacre of the LPL division for a whole year again!
Another part of the Chinese audience is a real G2 fan. The reason why they watch the G2 team's games is because they want to see an incident of "watching him build a tall building and watching him collapse."
After watching the entire EU Spring Split, these two groups of viewers were both satisfied to varying degrees!
Because although the G2 team once again defended the EU Spring Split championship, the entire Spring Split journey of the G2 team was not particularly smooth.
Especially during the spring regular season, the G2 team even lost several big games!
The reason is very simple, that is, the running-in speed of the G2 team in the new season is not particularly fast.
Especially when the G2 team is almost completely rebuilt around Dark, and Dark welcomes four new teammates!
Even Perkz can be considered Dark's new teammate. After all, he, an "AD player", is really a solid newcomer.
Fortunately, Dark is still good enough. In the process of helping his teammates to adjust, he almost dragged the G2 team into the EU spring playoffs with his terrifying ability to lead four pits.
And what makes Dark very gratified is that after entering the spring playoffs, the G2 team's lineup adjustment has finally been completed!
In the semi-finals, the G2 team finally regained their terrifying posture as the European devil, successfully defeated the Splyce team of former teammate Expect with a score of 3-0, and successfully advanced to the finals.
In the finals, they once again defeated the FNC team, the only designated opponent in the European Division, with a crushing score of 3-0. While once again defending the EU Division 2018 Spring Split Championship, they also successfully qualified for the 2018 MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational Tournament. qualifications!
As for the LPL division, the entire spring split process was full of drama.
Because the LPL division canceled the promotion and relegation system in 2018 and changed it to a league, major changes were also made in the competition system.
During the regular season, LPL teams are no longer grouped according to AB groups, but learn from the NBA's East-West grouping.
As a result, after a nearly four-month regular season journey, teams that successfully reached the quarterfinals of the playoffs were born one after another.
They are the IG, RW, RNG and JDG teams in the Eastern Division, and the EDG, Snake, BLG and WE teams in the Western Division. Among them, the most terrifying team is naturally the IG team, because they actually achieved an astonishing 18-game winning streak throughout the LPL spring regular season!
Then, a dramatic scene immediately occurred.
That was the eight-to-six game in the first round of the playoffs that started on April 12, 2018. The two teams participating were the top four RNG teams in S7 and the top 16 WE teams in S7!
In just one winter, the two teams changed from "World Championship Team" to "Playoff Team", which made Mingrui have to applaud and call "Xiaohu" and "Kangdi" two people. The team’s mascot!
However, there was no suspense about the result of the game. The RNG team easily defeated the WE team and successfully advanced to the top six.
In the eight-to-six match on April 13, the BLG team defeated the JDG team, which also officially ended Toothpaste's first LPL season.
On April 14th, six into four, RNG played against Snake. Mingrui thought that RNG would never be the opponent of Snake, which ranked higher in the regular season, but he never expected that RNG would win again. And successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
On April 15th, RW team played against BLG team. RW team won and advanced to the semi-finals.
A week later, in the semi-finals, the RNG team faced the IG team again. I thought that this time the RNG team could not be the IG team's opponent, but what Mingrui didn't expect again was that the RNG team actually won again!
But it's not because of how strong the RNG team is, but because the IG team's starting top laner Theshy suddenly injured his hand after the regular season, causing him to be unable to play. As a result, the RNG team took advantage of the opportunity and got it. Semi-final victory.
And through this game, Mingrui once again saw how rubbish and disgusting the RNG team and RNG fans are.
Because just before the game started, they kept mocking Theshy and even made a special poster of "Broken Hand"!
Another semi-final was held between the RW team and the EDG team.
Unfortunately, the RW team was not able to continue their dark horse status to the end. Unfortunately, they lost to the EDG team, and once again made the finals of the LPL Spring Split a pig-dog battle.
But before the pig-dog war, LPL also added a third-place match this year, which was started by the RW team and the IG team.
As for the result of the game, it was staggering again, because the IG team, which dominated the entire LPL spring split, actually lost to the RNG team after losing to the RNG team!
Therefore, when the RW team successfully won the third place in the spring, the IG team also successfully won the "honor" of "18 consecutive wins and the third place".
Next, is the much-anticipated competition for the 2018 LPL Spring Split Finals!
On April 28, the 2018 LPL Spring Finals officially kicked off at the Chengdu Rubik's Cube Performing Arts Center. The defending champion EDG team met its old rival RNG for the fourth time in the finals.
In the end, after 4 rounds of exciting "pig-dog" competition, the RNG team successfully defeated the EDG team with a score of 3-1 and became the champion of the 2018 LPL Spring Split. At the same time, it also successfully qualified to represent the LPL division in the Mid-Season Championship.
And it is worth mentioning that this spring championship is Uzi's first LPL championship in his six-year career!
"I think it would be better if this championship came earlier."
"This will definitely not be the last one. I will continue to work with my teammates from the RNG team to win many, many championships in the future!"
During the post-game interview, Uzi, who had won a championship in six years, said with great excitement. As he spoke, his eyes turned red with excitement and he was almost moved to tears!
Just listening to the audience chanting "Uzi" and "RNG", Mingrui was quite speechless.
Isn’t it just a league championship? Are these RNG fans so excited for Uzi?
You know, he already has three such league championships!
And there is also a World Championship trophy that Uzi and all RNG players may never have the chance to touch in this life, as well as the Finals FMVP trophy, the MSI Championship trophy, and the MSI Finals FMVP trophy!
"As for the next MSI, the RNG team has only one goal, and that is to win the championship!"
"We already said after the end of S7 last year that RNG will definitely regain everything we lost in S8!"
"Then, the RNG team's road to revenge begins with the 2018 MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational!"
And when Uzi was successfully elected as the FMVP of the LPL Spring Split Finals, he said this with a fierce look in his eyes when facing the camera.
As a result, the entire audience was excited once again.
Because they all know very well that although Uzi did not name anyone, the target of his revenge must be the G2 team, the mortal enemy of the RNG team called Dark!
"RNG! RNG! RNG!"
Then, the audience once again chanted the name of the RNG team in unison, vowing to use their most fanatical volume to help the RNG team win this LPL division in the upcoming MSI, which has been three years away. MSI champion!
……
"Ridiculous."
"Why do LPL fans always think that as long as their voice is loud enough, LPL teams can successfully win the championship?"
"Especially the fans of the RNG team are even more ridiculous. Uzi has just won the first regional league championship. According to their tone, Uzi has become the truly world's number one adc, RNG The team has become truly the number one team in the world?”
"Have they asked our G2 team for their opinion?"
Mingrui couldn't listen anymore. He sneered and turned off the live broadcast. He turned his head to the left and asked without knowing why.
"I, I don't know either."
"We lost to the RNG team last year."
Then, I heard a voice that was extremely aggrieved and on the verge of tears.
Therefore, Mingrui immediately realized that he was still not completely accustomed to the fact that the person sitting on his left was no longer Perkz, but Caps.
Fortunately, Perkz was on the left side of Caps, so Mingrui lay back and continued to ask.
"Perkz, what do you think?"
"Of course I didn't ask. After all, they didn't dare to ask."
Perkz chuckled disdainfully.
"In my opinion, these teams and fans in the LPL division have no other specialties except bragging about the strength of their own teams. After all, they have no chance to show their strength."
"So besides blowing, what else can you ask them to do?"
"Before we played Team WE last year, the fans of Team WE were also saying the same thing before the game. As a result, we were beaten 3-0 in the finals."
"Since a similar plot happened again this year, we naturally have to beat the RNG team 3-0 again."
"Of course, the premise is that the RNG team can reach the MSI finals."
"But I feel that their chance of RNG reaching the MSI finals is actually very small, because this year's MSI participating teams are still very strong."
Perkz continued to chuckle and said that if his remarks were posted online in the form of a scarf, RNG fans would immediately curse Perkz as "Dark No. 2"!
"Huh? All the teams participating in this year's MSI have come out?"
"What teams are there? When is the game?"
Mingrui immediately asked curiously, because he couldn't wait to fast forward time to MSI!
In this way, he can continue to beat the RNG team severely in the MSI arena after half a year!
