Chapter 261 Intercontinental Competition! LPL’s luxurious lineup!
The RNG team came closer. Coach Heart quickened his pace and greeted them with a smile:
"Brother Mo Zi, Ming Kai, you are here so early."
Su Mo shook Heart's hand. In fact, it was not his intention but the other party's initiative, which made him a little confused.
"Manager Abu." Heart went to find Abu again.
· RNG team members walked over slowly, and Su Mo joked: "Leaders, how do you feel? Our work is going well."
· RNG people did not understand the situation, and saw UZI asking: "Leader? What leader? I don't understand."
Meiko explained: "Just now Mingkai said that you walk like leaders."
UZI smiled, and suddenly his face turned cold: "Mingkai? Mingkai is like this, he talks nonsense."
"Uzi? What do you mean?" the factory director replied.
As expected, the two began to confront each other when they met.
However, after Abu came closer, the two of them chose to stop and pretend that nothing happened.
"Manager Abu." UZI greeted him with a smile.
Abu responded: "Uzi, you are here too, so now we still need RW. Why haven't you come yet?"
Abu took out his mobile phone and made a call.
Immediately afterwards, Abu exclaimed: "Ah? You've already gone in? Didn't you agree to gather outside?"
"Okay, okay, we'll go in right away."
Everyone knew what was going on as soon as they heard it.
Abu greeted: "Let's go together, RW has arrived at the terminal, let's go there quickly."
Everyone entered the airport one after another, and a moment later, Su Mo saw everyone in RW in the terminal.
I saw Doinb looking here with a smile. When everyone approached, he stood up and said:
"Oh, why are you waiting outside? It's so comfortable to come in and sit."
"Hello, Brother Mozi, Brother Mozi."
Doinb grabbed Su Mo's hand and shook it wildly. He was so excited, and the expression on his face was also very exaggerated.
"Hello, hello, that's about it. My hands are sore." Su Mo complained.
Doinb then let go of Su Mo's hand: "Brother Mozi, this time the opponent is so strong. Their top horse KZ will be handed over to you EDG."
"By the way, didn't you win KZ in MSI? It feels like it's easy for you to beat them."
Su Mo responded: "It's not like we can hit whoever we want, it will depend on the situation."
Su Mo looked at A Guang next to him: "Brother Guang, don't you recognize me? Brother Guang."
A Guang raised his head and greeted, "Brother Mozi."
Su Mo asked: "I feel suddenly unfamiliar. How is A Guang?"
Su Mo still thought that he and A Guang had a good relationship. Logically speaking, A Guang would be more enthusiastic, but since A Guang left EDG at the beginning of the year until now, every time they meet, A Guang becomes more unfamiliar.
A Guang denied: "No, isn't it the same as before?"
Doinb interjected: "It's because of the sense of loss. A Guang didn't get results in our RW, which was completely different from when he was in EDG, so he was very disappointed."
Doinb really dared to say this, but A Guang seemed to be used to Doinb's behavior, so he didn't say anything.
Everyone was chatting away.
Suddenly, Su Mo smelled a familiar fragrance, and two figures came to his side. One of them stretched out his hand and patted Su Mo on the shoulder.
"Brother Mo Zi! Good morning!"
"Brother Mo Zi, long time no see."
Su Mo saw that it was none other than Luo Xin and Rita.
The two of them were dressed fashionably, wearing sunglasses and sun hats. Su Mo didn't notice them just now. He had to look at the front to recognize them.
"Yes...it's been a long time, maybe more than half a month." Su Mo muttered.
Because he did not play games during this period and did not need to edit videos, he did not go to the studio.
"You also know, Brother Mozi, why don't you come to see us!" Luo Xin put his hands on his hips, looking angry.
“Huh? What are you talking about?” Doinb felt like he heard something extraordinary.
Su Mo rolled his eyes, Doinb was too active, there was nothing he could do.
Su Mo looked at Rita: "You are going to work over there, right? Host the game and commentate on the game."
Rita nodded: "Yes..."
She glanced at the other people in the LPL and said, "This time our LPL lineup is very luxurious, and with Brother Mo Zi, I feel reassured, we will definitely win!"
At this moment, the factory director said: "Which of us is the superior horse and who is the inferior horse?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. This question... is not easy to say.
It always feels a bit insulting, although it may be true.
Doinb suddenly said: "We RW are inferior horses, we are waiting for the horses when we come."
Everyone in RW either looked down at their mobile phones or covered their faces with their hands for fear of being noticed. There was really nothing they could do when they met Doinb.
The key point is that Doinb is now the soul of RW, and no one can say anything about him doing this kind of thing.
UZI spoke: "It goes without saying that EDG with Brother Mozi must be a top-notch player."
UZI deliberately emphasized that "Brother Mozi" obviously wanted to put aside the relationship with the factory director.
"Uzi, what kind of horses are you?" The factory director looked at UZI.
Abramovich came out to smooth things over: "There is nothing wrong. Anyway, we don't know what the opponent will do. If we play LCK in the final, we will draw lots to decide."
"Draw lots?"
"Originally our idea was to arrange a reasonable order and we can do whatever we want, but then we thought about it, if the opponent doesn't play according to common sense, wouldn't it be in vain? So we chose to draw lots. It is not a very important game anyway. "
Everyone nodded after hearing this. Since they have already decided, let’s do it.
More than half an hour later, everyone boarded the plane.
In the afternoon, I arrived at my destination, got off the plane, and went straight to the hotel.
At the hotel, everyone from LPL met many fans. After handling the fans well, they checked in.
Su Mo got the room card and took the elevator up to the room.
Finding the room, Su Mo put down his luggage and tidied it up a little.
Just as the cell phone rang, there was news in the intercontinental competition group.
Abu: "Everyone is ready, we will gather together for dinner around five o'clock."
Then there is the news in the EDG group.
Abu: "In ten minutes, come to room 519, our training room." Su Mo was ready to leave his room and walked forward to find room 519. The door was open and someone was talking inside. Su Mo walked in and found that everyone else had arrived.
I saw Abu say: "Xiao Mo, here you go, now you train first and get familiar with it, and then we will go to dinner at five o'clock. It gets dark earlier here, so we go to have dinner early."
Hence, everyone found a place to sit down, turned on the phone and logged in, and started training.
Su Mo, on the other hand, took out his mobile phone and started playing to see what was going on online.
This looks like it’s broken.
Although Abu said that he would not engage in high-grade horses or low-grade horses.
But netizens are doing it.
The competition system of the Intercontinental Tournament is very special. Not to mention the group stage, it is not difficult for the LPL. Moreover, the results of the group stage only determine the rankings of the three divisions.
The advantage of getting first place is that you can directly enter the finals. The semi-finals are between the second and third place.
So it doesn’t matter if you don’t place first in the group stage, as long as you can win the LMS in the semi-finals.
The format of the semi-finals and finals is BO5. At the same time, different teams must be arranged to play the first four games.
Suppose EDG plays the first game, then EDG cannot play in the second, third, and fourth games. Of course, there may not be a fourth game. In short, after all teams have to play it once, if there is a fifth game, there will be a repeat situation.
Therefore, it is useless to have only one strong team. At the same time, it also depends on the opponent's situation.
Su Mo entered an analysis post to see what netizens said.
"EDG is a high-class horse, RW and IG are medium horses, RNG is a low-class horse."
"You are kidding, RNG has become a low-class horse? At least it is a middle-class horse?"
"RNG can only rank third in the East, why is it a middle-class horse? Inferior horse! "
"Okay, okay, let's play like this, okay, if you have the ability, you EDG can fight one against four."
"We should unite at this time, why are we arguing?"
Su Mo looked at it and didn't know which god came up with the format. Isn't this just deliberately provoking conflicts?
Perhaps the designer initially thought that doing so would strengthen cooperation between different clubs, but he obviously overestimated the tolerance of fans.
In terms of order, there are various opinions.
"Let EDG play in the first game. The opponent will definitely want a strong team to win the first game and take the lead."
"No, no, since the opponent will consider the higher horse to play immediately in the first game, then we should arrange for the lower horse to play. We cannot delay the overall situation because of temporary gains and losses."
"Do you think the opponent is a fool? They will definitely think the same way. They will arrange the low horse to snipe EDG in the first game, so in the first game we arrange the medium horse to win and not waste EDG's times."
"Don't you think the LCK doesn't think so? They will also arrange mid-level horses to snipe our low-level horses, so we have to arrange high-level horses to deal with their mid-level horses."
"What are you doing with this big chess game? I'm going back again?"
Su Mo looked at it and laughed. The game went on and on, but in the end there was no answer. Everyone had their own opinions.
Su Mo suddenly realized that it was indeed a good idea to draw lots before Abu said.
Since the opponent will also consider this issue, and you don’t know which level he is on, then there is no way to win and just play random.
The time came to five o'clock, and sure enough, it got dark very early here and the sun set.
Abu called the other three teams and went to have dinner together.
Su Mo suddenly remembered that Luo Xin and Rita also lived here, and said, "Abu, I'll ask two employees to have dinner together, is that okay."
So Su Mo called Rita and Luo Xin to have dinner together.
Find a hotel nearby. After everyone in the LPL went in, they became stars and were recognized.
Furthermore, these four teams can account for at least 90% of the current LPL popularity and traffic.
As long as you follow the LPL, you will definitely find a player you like.
The whole hotel became lively for a while.
Abbu suggested: "Let's sit at the same table for our two teams. There are two tables in total, otherwise we won't be able to sit down."
So it was time to allocate tables. As soon as everyone in EDG sat down, Xiao Ming came to Meiko:
"Tianye...I..."
However, before Xiao Ming could sit down, he was pulled up.
"Let's go over there." UZI took Xiao Ming to IG and sat down.
There is nothing wrong with every song, every post, and every content. Look at them one by one!
Seeing this scene, the factory director laughed: "Uzi is really disgusting. If someone wants to sit here, he has to pull them over."
Meiko joked: "If he really comes to sit here, you won't be happy."
Doinb took everyone in RW to sit down with EDG, and then started to chatter: "The match will start tomorrow, which one of us will go first?"
Abbu responded: "The first game is when our EDG plays FW. The schedule has been determined. Anyway, In the group stage, every team has to play once, but the opponents are different. In the end, we look at the points. Doinb nodded: "That's it. Let's cheer for EDG tomorrow. If EDG wins, we win."
After eating, the four teams returned to the hotel together and prepared to continue training.
"It's too far to the north. Why should we hold the game in a place like this?"
Suddenly, everyone in the LPL heard an inexplicable sound.
Looking back, I saw a group of young people walking in with various luggage.
They looked quite tired, probably coming from somewhere far away.
Su Mo recognized a few of them, Hanabi, Maple, Betty...
FW, the spring champion of the LMS division.
Having played against each other at MSI before, Su Mo was deeply impressed, because they were very happy when FW lost to KZ, but when they lost to EDG, it was hard not to be impressed.
In addition to FW, there are more than 20 people, probably players and coaches from the other three teams in the LMS division.
This is the first time Su Mo has seen it. In the past, LMS had at most two teams participating in international competitions, but this time there were four.
· The people in LMS were still making fun of him in various ways, but when they discovered that everyone in LPL, especially Su Mo, they immediately shut up, did not dare to complain, and walked to the front desk of the hotel in a polite manner.
Su Mo followed his teammates into the elevator and went upstairs.
At this moment, Meiko suddenly said: "What would it feel like if we played against the third or fourth place player in the LMS division? Is it the same as playing as a wild card?"
The director smiled: "Wild cards? The wild cards we encountered in the World Championship have all been carefully selected. I don't think they can even beat the wild cards."
Zhi Zhi began to gear up: "Can you let me go up and fight? I want to fight their fourth place! Leave this difficult task to me!"
Su Mo joked: "You want to bully the elementary school students."
Zhi Zhi suddenly had an idea: "You People asked me if I could beat them in fourth place? I think it’s absolutely possible. I know how to play mid lane and top lane, which means I can also play jungle. I can definitely beat the mid laner and top jungler. I just choose a development hero in the bottom lane and it’s all done online.”
· After everyone in EDG went upstairs, they came to the training room and started training.
Take a break after training until twelve o'clock to maintain energy for tomorrow's game.
The next day, the LOL Intercontinental Asian Competition began.
The four LPL teams share a lounge in the competition venue, so it seems a bit crowded.
· Abramovich is making final arrangements for everyone in EDG: "We are already very familiar with the FW situation. You can win if you play normally. Relax, keep your mentality, and play it like a training match."
"It's almost time, let's play."
So Abu led everyone in EDG towards the door. Doinb looked up, smiled and waved his hand:
"Come on EDG, we will pray for you."
On the other side, Su Mo is still sitting on the chair, because this scene is all about posture.
Hitting a FW does not require him to play.
There were cheers from the audience.
Su Mo looked at the screen in front of him. Players from both sides appeared on stage. The five FW people looked quite optimistic, as if they thought they could win.
Perhaps it was because I saw the posture on the stage.
The two sides are in position and entering the BP stage, and the commentator begins to analyze the BP.
Su Mo discovered that Rita's business ability has indeed improved very quickly. Wawa and Miller created the atmosphere, and Rita is the one with useful information.
BP is over. In this gesture, we got the Alchemist on the top lane!
This is a special requirement for the posture before going on the field. According to him, he has already trained this hero and wants to show it off.
Hence, other people in the live broadcast room started talking.
Aguang muttered: "Alchemy? Is this hero strong?"
Doinb asked back: "You are the top laner and we are the top laner? You ask us?"
A Guang shook his head: "Forget it, let's see how he plays."
Entering the game screen, the posture alchemy faced the opposite Mondo top laner, and Abu also returned to the lounge.
Mundo is indeed a stronger hero now, but when he thinks about these two heroes facing each other, Su Mo wants to laugh.
Sure enough, the top lane matchup turned out to be what Su Mo had imagined. Alchemy ignored Mundo and used his Q skill to clear the line of troops. Mundo didn't chase him, so he just hit A to hit while using his kitchen knife to consume Alchemy. Alchemy moved wildly, and Mundo predicted wildly.
After Alchemy's HP bottomed out, Mundo started sprinting and rushed to pursue him. Alchemy also started sprinting. This Mundo also had sprint TP, which was probably specially used to deal with Alchemy.
The two ran from the first tower to the jungle area and made a long circle. The audience laughed.
Happiness was very high, but if he continued to move forward, he would reach high ground, and he had no way to go. The director gave the posture a close-up of his expression. The posture was in a state of excitement. Su Mo seemed to be able to hear him shouting:
"Move! Move! Move!"
However, his positioning was useless and he was finally taken away by Alchemy's flat A.
The whole audience was in an uproar, and Doinb commented:
"It's not a loss, this wave is not a loss, the army lines are all cleared, and Mondo on the opposite side will lose a wave of troops."
· A Guang complained: "The gesture is really too funny, I thought he brought out alchemy, which is some kind of nuclear technology, and it was just for a long time to make fun of him."
Jackeylove suddenly said: "This wave is indeed not a loss, the army line is profitable, anyway, there is a Mundo on the opposite side, just give me a head."
Abu felt that his face was dull: "This posture is too unreliable."
Although the top lane was a bit funny, the other lanes were still quite serious, and aple in the middle lane was very uncomfortable.
The situation in the bottom lane is similar. Iboy's operation is in place. Moreover, because the factory director does not plan to go to the top lane this time, and focuses on the bottom lane, the bottom lane can be suppressed with confidence.
With ten minutes of game time, EDG played a double game in the middle and jungle, completed a tower jump in the bottom lane, and opened a breakthrough.
Doinb joked: "Oh my god! EDG has learned our moves."
Then he looked at Aguang: "Aguang, did you do it? You leaked our routines to EDG. "
A Guang retorted: "Anyone who watches our game will know it, it's not a strange thing."
The game lasted thirty-two minutes, EDG easily defeated FW and won the game.
After a while, everyone in EDG came back and won the game, so everyone was very happy.
The posture became exciting: "Brothers, we got one point for LPL, the rest is up to you."
UZI said: "Awesome, awesome, posture, your alchemy made us all laugh."
The posture was slightly awkward: "Isn't this to give everyone a little more program effect? Right, otherwise it would be a dry game, which is meaningless."
“You’d better improve the effect of the show.” UZI joked.
It is LCK and LMS in one game, so everyone in the LPL only needs to watch.
KT played against MAD. Su Mo had never heard of this MAD team before.
The players from both sides came on stage and shook hands in a friendly manner. Su Mo saw a familiar scene again.
It feels like the teams in the LMS region seem to have an inexplicable fondness for the LCK region. Even their opponents will have a favorable impression and take the initiative to flatter them.
Without any surprise, KT easily defeated MAD.
We welcome the third game today, the match between LPL and LCK, RNG versus AFS.
The current points are one point for LPL, one point for LCK, and zero points for LMS.
If the LPL can beat the LMS in this game, they will be ahead in points.
· On the RNG side, coach Heart started to set up, and Abramovich walked over to help. The four coaches all gathered together.
I saw Heart saying:
“What’s more difficult about the AFS team is that they have top laner Kiin and bottom laner Kramer, but there’s no need to worry about the bottom laner. We just need to be able to deal with their top laner. As for their jungler Spirit, this guy is a bit smart and he performs well. It's great at the moment, but it's really a gift. Let's deal with it depending on the situation." After a while, everyone in RNG followed Heart on the stage. There were cheers from the audience, and there were quite a lot of RNG fans at the scene.
Meiko suddenly said: "Do you think RNG can win? Why do I feel a little uncertain? The AFS team's top laner has something special. This Kiin, he currently has the most MVPs in the LCK top laner. He is tied for first with Khan, ranks first in CS per point, and has the highest team participation rate."
The director chuckled: "Then RNG feels a little uncomfortable. This is the team they least want to encounter. What they are most afraid of is this kind of team with a strong top laner."
In this game, Kiin got the captain and started to develop invincibly on the road. Letme really couldn't put any pressure on him and could only let the captain steal money like crazy. This was a sign of stealing and was very satisfying.
"It's time to raise a dad, let's start raising a dad!" the posture joked.
Su Mo said: "I feel like if you were fighting them, the situation would be similar."
He retorted with a gesture: "Definitely not, Brother Mozi. At least I can choose alchemy and walk the dog in the opposite wilderness, without giving the captain a chance to trigger the theft omen."
Su Mo smiled: "It seems true."
The game continued. RNG did have an advantage in the bottom lane, but it was not a big one, and the opponent's bottom lane was not a vegetarian either.
In the mid-term team-building stage, RNG still had an advantage, relying on UZI's violent output to forcefully win the team battle. However, as the captain made the Infinity Blade to join the team battle, the situation of the team battle suddenly changed, and RNG was completely unable to win in a team battle.
