At the post-match press conference, the event reporters rushed to fill the room.

Everyone wants to get first-hand interview information from YM, who has just set a regular season record in the LPL.

With a smile on their faces, Lin Ran and his teammates answered one question after another from reporters: their outlook for the playoffs, their evaluation of their teammates and opponents......

After the game, Brother Hao took them to take a taxi and went straight to the hot pot restaurant.

YM's dining place is the same, either hot pot or barbecue.

Because there are so many factors to consider.

Even if Jin Gong speaks Mandarin very well, it can't change the fact that he is Korean, and he is only compatible with hot pot and barbecue.

And Ning and Garlic Wang Ba are northerners, and their taste is heavier than Xiao Ming in Jieyang, Guangdong and Lin Ran in Suzhou.

And JKL is allergic to seafood...... When you go out to eat with your eldest son, you must first veto the seafood restaurant, after all, Brother Hao can't bear to watch his own contestants eat instant noodles at dinner.

Sitting in the co-pilot of the taxi, Lin Ran turned on his mobile phone, +, most of them are congratulatory messages, junior and senior high school classmates, ponies around Fat Dudu, and official personnel of the Fighting Shark platform......

Lin Ran picked up a few friends who have a good relationship on weekdays and replied to the message, and the rest of the editors sent it in groups, which can be regarded as a unified reply.

Father Lin Mingdong also sent a word of encouragement, but Lin Ran didn't know what to reply, so he simply sent a string of ellipses.

Then he felt that it was inappropriate, and made up two emojis, so that it looked more lively and not so raw.

Su Cheng sent a congratulatory message as soon as the game ended, probably watching the live broadcast.

As soon as Lin Ran replied with a voice, Su Cheng's video call came.

He glanced at the rearview mirror, the garlic head Wang Ba in the back row was closing his eyes to recuperate, he didn't play in these two games, he simply stayed up late every day to make up for it, and he couldn't open his sleepy eyes during the day.

And JKL, who was sitting next to the garlic king, was still addicted to phishing, and Lin Ran was afraid that he would catch himself in it one day.

The phone was still vibrating, Lin Ran hurriedly put on the headphones and turned on the video.

"Awesome dog, 16 consecutive wins, congratulations." Su Cheng lay on his back on the bed, raised his mobile phone with both hands, and said to Lin Ran with a smile.

"It's not a big deal, it's more critical that the playoffs haven't been played yet." Lin Ran said a few words modestly, his cheeks flushed as he looked at the screen, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the phone.

Su Cheng on the screen is wearing loose white home clothes, and her long black hair is spread out scattered, lining the sheets more white and tidy.

Because Su Cheng's clothes were too loose, her two thin and delicate collarbones were accidentally exposed, the clavicle fossa was moderately deep, and her skin was snow-white, reflecting in Lin Ran's eyes.

He clenched his palms.

"I'll go and cheer you on during the playoffs," Su Cheng said, her lips lightly furrowed, "I hope you can make it to the World Championship." ”

Lin Ran saw that Su Cheng had changed her posture, and her clothes covered her body tightly, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Cheng's voice in the headphones was soft and firm.

"Lin Ran, have you ever heard of a sentence?" She looked at Lin Ran with a clear gaze.

Lin Ran was stunned for a second.

He can judge his girlfriend's emotions through Su Cheng's various names for himself.

Every day, she will call herself Dog or Mr. Lin, at this time she is naughty and cute; And when he encounters something serious, Su Cheng will call his full name.

"What?" Lin Ran asked.

"Don't be in fantasy, don't be in vain." At this time, Su Cheng seemed to be a life coach.

"Mr. *** said it, I know what it means." Lin Ran's breathing slowed down.

"I'm sure you'll be able to do it, right, Lin Ran?" Su Cheng tried to make eye contact with her boyfriend.

“…… Definitely. Lin Ran replied seriously.

The corners of Su Cheng's mouth raised slightly.

"Oh yes, my parents might go to see you play in the playoffs, too." She said coldly.

Su Cheng, a science woman, was still teaching Lin Ran one second ago, and the next second her thinking instantly jumped out of another dimension.

"Huh?" Lin Ran was really stunned.

"Ahh Su Cheng pouted, "Fudan will wait until next summer vacation for military training, my parents and I will go to see the house outside the school first, and plan to rent a house to live, and by the way, we will go to watch your game." ”

She saw that Lin Ran's expression was still a little unnatural, and added, "Oh, what are you nervous about?" You don't know who my parents are, didn't you make love with Uncle Su back then, they won't embarrass you. ”

Lin Ran's mood was not half relaxed because of Su Cheng's words.

Just kidding, at that time it was a friend who knew each other well, but now a gender has been added to the front, and the relationship has deteriorated, can it be the same?

Lin Ran's Adam's apple rolls.

However, he was nervous all night, and the next morning he trained as usual, and the playoff results were crucial for YM.

Because they are still in LSPL in the spring, they do not have an advantage when calculating the points of the S game, and if they want to enter the S6, they have to look at the ranking of this playoffs.

The rules for assigning a place to the World Finals in the LPL region are fairly simple: the summer champion is the No. 1 seed; The first place in the annual points is the second seed (the champion of the summer tournament will not be counted in the points statistics); The four teams that have moved back in the standings will compete in a bubble tournament to determine the third seed.

Since YM doesn't have Spring points, it means they have to go to the bubble tournament unless they win the summer - unless there is another extreme situation, YM is the runner-up, RNG is the champion, and EDG is the third place.

In this case, RNG is the champion of the summer tournament + the first place in points for the whole year, while YM can get 300 points as the runner-up in the summer tournament, and EDG will receive a total of 290 points (200 + 90) points as the runner-up in the spring tournament and the third runner-up in the summer tournament.

In this way, RNG's points will not be counted in the statistics due to the summer championship, and YM's points will be higher than EDG's, and they can become the No. 2 seed and enter S6.

RNG relied on Uzi's excellent performance to win a hard-fought victory over WE in the finale to retain their second place in Group B, so that they would only meet YM in the final.

IG, which had a poor record before, defeated the Snakes, IM and NB in succession at the end of the season to finish fourth in the group and enter the playoffs.

And the broilers played a dominant performance in the last few points battles.

In the three BO3 games, his output accounted for 37.9%, the average output exceeded 800, and he won 10 single kills on the line, which was simply a one-on-one resistance to IG into the playoffs.

The final Group AB regular season rankings are as follows:

Group A: EDG, Snake, IM, IG, NB, SAT;

Group B: YM, RNG, WE, VG, LGD, OMG.

According to the rules, the top four teams in each group advance to the playoffs, while the fifth or sixth place drops into the relegation zone.

After a 5-day break, at 1 p.m. on August 10, the playoffs 8-6 took the lead.

The 8-in-6 format is a little unfair, with the fourth place in the group playing the third place in the group, but the third place naturally holds a win.

In other words, the fourth-placed team needs to win three games, while the opponent only needs to win two.

Lin Ran also didn't know how much alcohol the rule-setter had drunk to come up with such an idea.

IG, who is fourth in Group A, challenges WE, who is third in Group B.

The contradictions between the two teams can be counted from before the establishment of LPL to the present, and they are all among the best LOL e-sports giants back then. Grave

But today's circumstances are different.

The broiler was unable to stand alone, and WE went down to two cities in a row, and from entering the venue to being interviewed, it only took them an hour and a half to defeat the IG team that the broiler had worked hard to support.

After that, the third IM in Group A and the fourth VG in Group B came to the stage, and the game was a lot more anxious, and BO5 played the last small game.

In the end, IM relied on stronger teamwork to win the game and advance to the top 6.

In the relegation match on the second day, Sima Lao Thief finally stood up, and the three-set MVP sent the electric baton back to LSPL's hometown, and OMG will next face YM's second team in LSPL.

This is a brand new team formed by Fat Dudu, with good talent but little experience, and finally lost to Sima Lao Thief and icon, and can only be sharpened in LSPL for another season.

On August 12, two BO5 games of 6 into 4 started.

WE3:1 over Snake.

mystic crushed Ding Huang in this BO5, the management of the Snake team has always been good at playing snakes, even in the last game of life and death, they did not choose to replace Brother Crystal, but let Ding Huang, who was pressed to the explosion of mentality, play the whole BO5.

With poor results, they can only hope to play in the relegation match, and WE successfully qualified.

Five days later, they will challenge the YM led by Lin Ran.

In the other half of the district, RNG faced IM again for 5 rounds, and the whole BO5 game was very difficult.

IM's excellent field control limited the rhythm of MLXG, and the mid lane Tiger couldn't open the situation, and finally won the game thanks to the excellent performance of Uzi and Looper.

IM returned with only 4 spots in the bubble race, and it is still unclear whether they will be able to catch the last train to S6 with the summer points.

Lin Ran didn't watch these two games.

He took advantage of the base vacation to pick up Su Cheng and her parents.

The high-speed rail station is still full of people, and Lin Ran found Su Cheng at a glance in the vast sea of people.

The two of them had a good heart, and when they looked at each other, Su Cheng waved his hand and pursed his lips and smiled.

She walked briskly with a small suitcase, followed by a middle-aged couple with outstanding appearance and capable temperament.

Lin Ran recognized that it was Su Cheng's parents.

Although he was mentally prepared on the way here, he was still nervous at this time.

"Dog...... Lin Ran," Su Cheng subconsciously almost said the dog, but she realized that her parents were still behind her, so she quickly changed her name.

She called Lin Ran by name, "You look stronger than before." ”

"Yes, I told you that there is a gym in the base, and I often go to ......," Lin Ran replied.

"Then you can help me carry the box." Su Cheng interrupted him.

This is the reason she asked Lin Ran for fitness.

Lin Ran smiled and took the small box from Su Cheng's hand, and took the opportunity to scratch Su Cheng's palm.

Soft to the touch.

Su Cheng blushed for a moment, Lin Ran seemed to scratch the tip of her heart, and the itchy and astringent feeling flowed down the blood in her heart to her limbs.

She glared at Lin Ran.

The middle-aged couple behind them finally rushed over, and Su Cheng's mother patted her daughter gently.

"How do you talk to Lin Ran?" She turned her head and looked at Lin Ran with a smile, "I really haven't seen you for more than half a year, and I've become a young man." ”

"Mingdong mentioned you to me two days ago, saying that you have matured a lot." Su Cheng's father had an elegant face and a gentle smile.

Lin Ran greeted Su Cheng's parents with a smile, not taking Lin Mingdong's evaluation of himself to heart, he thought it was just Su Cheng's father's polite words.

Su Cheng's family was staying at the hotel where they were picked up by car, and an hour later, they arrived in front of the hotel where Su Cheng was staying before.

"I'm a little hot, go buy some ice cream, Mom and Dad, go check in." Su Cheng saw his father's vague gaze, hesitated and spoke.

"You buy one for Lin Ran, your father and I don't eat this thing." Su Cheng's mother said that she went to check in by herself.

Lin Ran looked at Su Cheng's father, whose expression suddenly became serious, and his heart lifted in one breath.

"Lin Ran," the middle-aged man took off his glasses and took out a piece of mirror paper, "Are you in love with Orange?" ”

Orange is the nickname of Su Orange.

"Yes......" Lin Ran responded.

"The college entrance examination is over, and it is her own decision who Orange wants to fall in love with, and it is not easy for me to interfere as a father." Su Cheng's father's voice was low.

He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Ran.

"Your father and I were college classmates, and after graduation, we both returned to Suzhou to settle down," Su Cheng's father continued, "I have had a very good personal relationship with Ming Dong over the years, and we have a close relationship with each other. ”

"Orange and you have been friends for more than ten years, and my uncle also grew up watching you grow up, to be honest, when I knew that the object of Orange's love was you, I was relieved, after all, I also know what your conduct is."

Su Cheng's father put on his glasses.

"But your work situation is a little special," Su Cheng's father saw Lin Ran raise his head, knowing that he would be wrong, "Don't be nervous, it's the 21st century, I won't engage in any professional discrimination, no matter what industry you are in, you have the ability to get ahead." ”

"I'm referring to your work environment," he continued, "and I know that the best players in your industry are about the same as the stars of the entertainment industry, and you're going to face all sorts of temptations. ”

Lin Ran remembered the hostess who interviewed him before for no reason.

"I'll be fine with oranges." Lin Ran felt his throat a little dry and hoarse.

"I know, it's just that the work in the e-sports industry is very stressful, and you and Orange can't see each other often, little couple, there will definitely be all kinds of conflicts at that time."

"Orange's temper is also a tendon, pampered since childhood, I just hope that the two of you can trust each other and be more tolerant."

"Ah, this ......" Lin Ran was a little surprised.

He originally thought that there would be some bloody plot, but he didn't expect it to be this?

At this moment, Lin Ran felt that he was about to take off with his wings.

"Don't talk about that, I heard from Orange that your team made it to the semifinals?" Su Cheng's father changed into the elegant face he had before, "Two more wins are the national championship?" ”

"Yes, we ......" Lin Ran's mood relaxed.

When Su Cheng came back from licking Menglong ice cream, he saw this scene, Lin Ran was discussing e-sports competitions with his father.

At this time, the check-in procedures were also completed, and Su Cheng saw his parents walking in front, and hurriedly came to Lin Ran's side and muttered quietly.

"What's the situation?"

Lin Ran took an ice cream from Su Cheng's hand.

"It's nothing, your father didn't object to our business."

"Hey, I know." Su Cheng's shoulders slumped, and her expression was visibly happy, contradicting her relaxed tone.

Lin Ran could see that Su Cheng said that he didn't care, but he was also worried about his parents' opposition.
