"Alas," Xiao Tian pretended to shake his head and sigh, "It's too easy. ”

YM everyone watched the IG base on the screen turn into pieces, listening to the enthusiastic applause and cheers of the audience, it is impossible to say that there is no feeling in their hearts.

Since returning from their mid-season victory, they have had their ups and downs for weeks, even losing to the bottom of the league against JDG.

As soon as he stepped into a high position, he ushered in a painful blow, and the psychological pressure faced by a group of young people is really not small.

It wasn't until he won this match that the YM player finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, IG is not weak now, even if they lose the duel with YM, they are still the first in Group A - because according to LPL rules, under the same relationship of big scores, you have to look at the net score first, and most of the games won by YM before have played 3 games, and the net score is a lot behind.

"Thank you, Ning." When Lin Ran and King Ning shook hands, it was called a sincere feeling.

In his opinion, IG is simply a shot in the arm, comparable to the existence of a power bank.

King Ning looked puzzled, and with his dark face, he looked like Nick Young's black question mark face.

Theshy was still grinning, unaware that he had won.

Lin Ran didn't know why this person was so happy after losing the game.

shook hands with him as usual, and then Lin Ran felt an itch on his hand.

The four eyes are facing each other, and they are separated by one touch.

Theshy still had an unfathomable smile on her lips.

Lin Ran always felt that this person was gaygay, just shake hands if you shake hands, what does it mean to scratch me with your fingertips

After shaking hands, everyone came to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience in thanks.

Yu Zhen took the stage with a hand card and left Lin Ran and Xiaotian for the post-game interview.

Many viewers saw that there was a small day in the post-game interview, and their eyes immediately lit up.

They want to know about the change of Weibo name before Garlic Wangba, but these viewers must be disappointed.

This kind of question is unlikely to be raised in an official setting, and if the contestants themselves do not take the initiative to respond, it will be treated coldly.

After the routine self-introduction, she asked her first question.

"We also noticed in the last two weeks that there were some ups and downs in the form of the whole team, and what kind of adjustments did the team make today to win the current Group A top spot?"

Garlic King Ba was relatively close to the aftershock, but he didn't understand how to answer this question, so he pushed Lin Ran's waist with his elbow.

"As I said in my post-opener interview, version changes are a problem for every team, and we were a little confused in the first two weeks......

Lin Ran held the microphone and said: "This has nothing to do with the state of the players, it's just that they don't adapt to the version, but today is much better, I believe that the team's state is slowly picking up, so you don't need to worry too much." ”

There are still a few fans screaming in the audience, waving YM's light signs in their hands, these people are the ones who care most about the club dynamics on weekdays, and they are very happy when YM's state improves.

"We also hope that YYM's performance will get better and better......" Aftershock glanced at his hand card and asked the second question? The first Asian Tournament is coming up next month? What do you think about this?"

Xiaotian thought for a moment, "Surely you will not live up to everyone's expectations?" We're going to play every game hard. ”

Compare the modest statements.

Lin Ran didn't want to be so modest? But when he thought about it, the continental competition is not a matter of one person or one team having the final say.

It took the cooperation of the other three teams to win the championship.

What if he shouts too loudly? What to do when you find out that the situation is out of your control?

Once he was slapped in the face, it was not only him and YM who were involved.

After all, Lin Ran didn't dare to guarantee that no team manager would say such an astonishing remark as 'inferior horse'.

"Will we do our best? Leave your first continental trophy in the LPL. Lin Ran is very conservative.

It was their last game before the intercontinental competition.

Ten days later? They will fly to Kaohsiung with three other LPL teams to compete with teams from the other two major regions to compete for the championship trophy of the first Asian Confrontation Tournament.

No holidays, YM crowd daytime training matches? Review in the evening to find problems.

After Liu Qingsong came off the bench to win two games in a row? He has already secured the starting position in the training match.

With such a suitable version of the wandering assistant, YM's training match win rate has been rising, even higher than that of training matches in the mid-season stage.

However, the white crescent moon knows that this is a bit exaggerated.

Now YM can get the Canyon Pioneer in the early 10s of every training match.

The Canyon Pioneers' blessing to YM is unmatched, compared to the mid-season game? While not delaying the rhythm of the early attack, they also gained an additional Void Behemoth that pushed the tower and was much faster than the ADC.

Suffice it to say, YM is currently unrivaled in the tactical arrangement and use of the Canyon Vanguard? Best-in-class in the league.

But what if the other teams reacted and figured out how to solve the YM?

The win rate will definitely slip.

The white crescent moon was not idle, and Su Cheng proposed a theoretical framework? He's going to have to modify it to make it perfect.

But isn't this tactic something that can be perfected overnight? The white crescent moon has no clue for a short time.

7 a.m. on July 4th? The dull vibrating sound of the cell phone echoed in the dimly lit dorm room.

The quilt on the single bed moved? Then he stretched out a bony palm and turned off the phone alarm clock.

"Xiaotian is up......" Lin Ran's voice came from the quilt.

Wang Ba on the next bed didn't move at all.

Lin Ran rubbed his eyes and came out of the quilt, his eyes were still bloodshot.

Normally, he would have gotten up early at this time to run.

But yesterday a few of them got together and watched a horror movie called The Grudge.

Turn off the lights in the training room, then pull the curtains and the horror movie atmosphere comes alive.

As soon as the coconut came out, Lin Ranren was directly numb, and the third floor of the YM base was full of the howls of the team members' ghosts and wolves, and the garlic king directly dropped the headphones, until Guo Hao was provoked, and the group rested.

But when he was sleeping, Lin Ran couldn't control his thoughts, and he always felt that the coconut would come out of the quilt.

I was dazed and groggy, and I barely fell asleep until two o'clock in the morning, and the quality of sleep was naturally very poor.

He stared at the ceiling for a minute, then got out of bed and ran to the bathroom with his slippers on.

Half an hour later, he wiped his hair and opened the bathroom door, only to find that the thick quilt on Xiaotian's bed still covered him tightly.

"Hurry up, we have to catch a plane."

Lin Ran slapped it, aiming at Xiaotian's back.

With this palm's nearly 20 years of skill, Lin Ran has the confidence to make the garlic king refreshed.

I didn't want to shoot it empty.

"Hmm," Lin Ran was stunned.

His first reaction was that Xiao Tian had already gotten up.

But there was a bulge under the quilt, and he touched it.

Then the quilt moved violently.

A hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the corner of Lin Ran's pajamas.

Lin Ran's heart stopped beating half a beat.

He remembered last night's gaco, for a moment.

The wild garlic king got out of the bed.

He crooked his tongue and grimaced, "I'm Gaco, slightly ......"

Lin Ran's face turned pale for a moment.

Then with nearly twenty years of skill, he slapped Xiao Tian on the head.

"You're a big-headed ghost!"

"I'm Gan! Don't hit anyone! Xiaotian was thrown all over the house, "You're not afraid that this is unscientific!" ”

Lin Ran secretly rejoiced while beating him, fortunately his face was white, otherwise Xiao Tian would have found out.

The two of them got up in the morning and exercised for five minutes before stopping.

Xiaotian, whose eyes were red like rabbits, ran to wash, while Lin Ran put on headphones and dialed the phone.

"Are you up?" he said, in a warm and soft tone, just like the two of them just judged.

"Hmm...... I'm up early, and I'm eating raw frying," Su Cheng on the other end of the phone said in a lively voice, "Do you want to bring you a few?"

Lin Ran was hungry, "A fried Wagyu beef vermicelli soup, they have breakfast at the base." ”

"I sent you a list, you just need to sort out your luggage according to it," Su Cheng reminded, "Don't forget to bring your ID card, Taiwan entry permit, and ...... pass"

"I know, I know," Lin Ran folded the quilt neatly, "Don't just talk about me, you also check the documents." ”

"Take it all, don't worry." Su Cheng yawned, then took a sip of vermicelli soup.

Lin Ran listened to the yawning sound on the other end of the phone, and suddenly remembered a good idea, "Let's watch a horror movie together when the intercontinental competition comes back."

"Domestic" Su Cheng's voice was suddenly full of vigilance.

"No, who is a serious person who watches domestic horror movies...... Except for the old corpses in the mountain villages," Lin Ran hurriedly explained, "It's better to watch those domestic horror movies than to go into science, at least the first half is quite scary." ”

"Oh, that's it." Su Cheng agreed to come down.

She will depart for Kaohsiung with the team today.

The Fudan exam week ended relatively early, and on June 30, Su Cheng completed the last mathematical analysis AII exam, and he has already started his summer life.

By the time Lin Ran and Xiaotian packed up their suitcases and locked the door, Guo Hao was already standing at the staircase on the third floor waiting.

"Your documents will be handed over to me for safekeeping, and then I will give them to you at the airport......"

This time to go to Kaohsiung, the documents required are not small, and Guo Hao did this mainly to ensure that the documents are complete when they leave the base.

Seven suitcases with personal names were neatly stacked at the gate of the base, and the team members sat around the dining room for breakfast.

"Brother Ran, don't you eat it" Xiao Tian took a sip of salty tofu brain, and then took a bite of the fried dough sticks that were fried until golden and crispy, looking quite enjoyable.

Lin Ran sniffed the fragrance and felt that the protest in his stomach was getting stronger and stronger, but when he thought of the fried Wagyu beef vermicelli soup brought by Su Cheng, he could only shake his head.

"Don't eat it, someone will bring it to me later."

Jack was hungry with a hot meat bun in his mouth, "Then you are hungry, it is best to starve to death, let you show off your show, how come everyone has a girlfriend now......"

"Brother Hao, you don't ignore this bun," Lin Ran suddenly looked at the manager.

"No, what's wrong" Guo Hao was a little puzzled, "Where can I find Tianjin buns in Shanghai?"

Lin Ran sneered, "No wonder Jack eats it, you won't pay attention to the bun if you buy a dog in the future and ignore him." ”

"I'm ......" Jack immediately wanted to stand up and prove his position as the emperor of the team, but when he saw Lin Ran, who was more than half a head taller than him, he still chose to swallow his anger.

For a time, the inside and outside of the base were filled with cheerful air.

Lin Weixiang laughed, and the soy milk almost squirted out.

Jin Gong also asked Xiao Tian what this meant, but the garlic king didn't have time to deal with the Xiba people - he couldn't even hold the fritters with a smile.

Several team members were full of food and drink, and set off with the hungry Lin Ran to pick up Su Cheng and go to Pudong Airport.

Lin Ran finally solved his breakfast problem halfway through, a large mouthful of vermicelli with two slices of beef, and a mouthful of hot soup smoothly warmed his stomach.

It was nearly 10 a.m. when they arrived at Pudong Airport, and the buses of the other three teams arrived almost simultaneously, and more than 20 players met outside.

"Wow...... Brother mud Meng is so broad. The chubby broiler looked at the BMW behind Lin Ran, quite envious.

Because IG has its own funders, it doesn't like to receive sponsor advertisements, and BMW's top sponsorship is still far away for broilers.

"Their team is really rich," the male duck laughed, "the champion team continues for two years, which is too ruthless." ”

"What else do you say" Lin Ran glanced at him, "You guys will return Xiao Ming"

"Hee-hee-hee." Xiao Ming, who was passing by, suddenly laughed, he put one hand around King Ning's waist, and the other hand stroked Jack's head, looking very happy.

Lin Ran quickly made up his mind when he saw this scene.

Astound! The champion assistant is entangled with the two predecessors Addison in front of the current one, is it a moral degradation or a distortion of human nature behind all this......

Xi Ye was wearing WE's red and white team uniform, holding a can of Wangzi milk in his hand, "You YM won't want to monopolize LPL, right?"

"Isn't this an easy thing," Lin Ran joked, "I want to take the Silver Dragon Cup and wait for me to retire." ”

I couldn't stand such an arrogant Lin Ran, "Meadhu, how about I make an exception to sacrifice my ** to let you recharge, the only price is that you must help us take revenge and win YM." ”

There seems to be some kind of wonderful connection between Xiye and Mid Tiger, as long as Xiaohu finishes fighting we, he will become a vigorous tiger and return to the state of the Tiger Emperor of Spring, which is simply used as a power bank in Xiye.

"We don't need you to recharge, we can knock over YM." Xiaohu was very proud.

He's also been inflated lately.

Since the continental competition is an intercontinental event mixed with the LPL summer season, Tengjing specially arranged the schedule of their four participating teams to be tighter, and the two weeks after the continental competition were a little more relaxed, leaving some rest time for the players.

As a result, the first round of the round-robin of the four participating teams has long since been completed.

YM, IG and WE are all 4-1, and only RNG leads the way, with 10 wins and 1 loss in small games and 5 consecutive wins in big games, ranking at the top of the league.

Lin Ran only knew that RNG was indeed strong now, exactly the same as what Xiao Ming and Xiao Hu said before the summer game.

But he doesn't know exactly where it is.

These days, the YM coaching staff and players have shifted their focus to continental competitions, and not much attention has been paid to league opponents.

"You can beat me" Lin Ran pretended to be disdainful, "No, you can call it on your lips, it's really on the line, and you will immediately get out of the cloth armor shoes and the golden body plus the banshee"

"I can't beat you, but we still have Uzigo." Xiaohu's expression is as arrogant as having nuclear weapons.

"Uzi can't do it," Lin Ran began to snort, "I remember last year when I took a vampire to swoop him four times." ”

Xiaohu was not angry, and wanted to say something.

But Tengjing CEO Bobby suddenly called Lin Ran over.

As soon as he got close, Bobby's arm was on Lin Ran's body, looking quite familiar.

"Lin Ran......" he whispered, "This continental race is similar to the meaning of the mid-season competition, can you understand?"

"I understand," Lin Ran nodded to show that he understood, "but if you want to win, you can't rely on us alone." ”

Bobby nodded, "That's why I talked to these managers and coaches the other day to make sure everyone's hearts are together." ”

"When the time comes, you will also get together to discuss tactics, and you will not hide your secrets," he patted Lin Ran on the shoulder, "As the core of YM, you must ensure the state of the team." ”

"Although you can't win the continental championship by relying on you alone, but without YM, then this championship is ten times more likely to be lost."

Lin Ran pursed his lips, but still joked, "I'm under a lot of psychological pressure because you're doing this." ”

"You have to be under pressure to improve," Bobby laughed, "and I want to be there to watch you guys win the cup." ”

"Let's get together and take a picture," he clapped his hands and turned up the volume, "It's a souvenir before the trip!" ”

A group of people squeezed over, and Lin Ran realized that there were so many people going to Kaohsiung.

The coaching staff, managers, and players of the four teams, more than a dozen employees of Tengjing Sports and Riot China, and a team of official photographers led by Yicun.

There are dozens of people in the vast and mighty way.

The staff of Tengjing specially brought the flags of the four teams and the LPL, Lin Ran and Jin Gong, the two tall leaders, stood in the center, and one of them pinched one corner of the LPL flag.

"Can you get us all in there," Poppy asked aloud.

Ichimura gestured that it was okay, "Everyone smiled...... 3、2、1！ ”

Everyone smiles at the camera, and the picture freezes.

On July 4, 2017, YM, WE, RNG, IG, four teams, with the YM champion team as the core, plus star players led by Rookie, Theshy, Uzi, MLXG, Xiye, and Mystic, marched to Kaohsiung side by side.

There is only one goal, to win the championship!

The League of Legends official quickly got the photo and sent it to Weibo with the picture editor when the LPL team boarded the plane:

At the moment, it's LPL.

[LPL rush rush! 】

[I took a look, this format is a bit of a Tian Ji horse racing feeling]

(Some readers may not be familiar with the continental format, I will post it in this chapter)

[It doesn't matter what format it is, it can break the LCK!] 】

[If there are contradictions between the teams, let them go, win the foreign war first, and then tear it up when they come back! ] 】

[Didn't anyone say that SKT lost in the mid-season before, but LCK didn't lose, known as Samsung and KT, these teams are better than other teams in LPL, and this intercontinental tournament will not slap their B faces]

Weibo was posted for half an hour, and the number of comments exceeded 10,000.

In the face of the upcoming continental competition, fans of various teams put aside their preconceptions and temporarily united to cheer for LPL!

This is the honor of the division!

During the two-hour flight, the LPL expedition personnel landed at Kaohsiung International Airport in the afternoon, and then rushed to the hotel with the car.

Riot gave the four LPL teams a two-story hotel according to the standard of two people per room, Kaohsiung is a big city after all, and there is no big problem with hotel facilities.

In short, the house is ok.

"It's too humid here," Lin Ran hurriedly turned on the air conditioner to dehumidify, and the sweat on his back didn't stop from getting off the plane to checking in to the hotel.

Kaohsiung, which lives in Tainan, determines that both the temperature and air humidity are more exaggerated than Shanghai.

Lin Ran looked back at Xiao Tian, who was squatting on the ground and opening the suitcase, and found that he was much more exaggerated than himself.

The slightly long hair hangs obediently on the scalp, and the bangs are dreadlocked as if they have been soaked in water.

"I can't stand it anymore, let's take a shower first!" Lin Ran looked at him like this, and also felt uncomfortable, so he took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom.

"Hurry up and wash it, I'm covered in sweat!" Xiao Tian shouted.

Since he had rinsed his body in the morning, Lin Ran spent a quarter of an hour washing off the sweat this time and rushed it out.

Xiao Tian rushed in with his shorts.

Lin Ran blew his hair and clicked on his phone, and under the leadership of Bobby, the four teams set up a large group chat alone, and all the personnel were inside.

Just now, everyone in the white crescent moon went to the training room arranged by Riot for a meeting.

"The notice says that there is a meeting, Xiaotian, I will go first, you can wash it out and go directly along the hotel elevator to the No. 1 conference room on the ninth floor!"

Lin Ran knocked on the bathroom door, and after getting an affirmative reply from the garlic king, he quickly dried his hair and walked outside the house in his new team uniform.

I happened to meet Su Cheng in the next room, she was facing the sky without powder, and she could see that the ends of her hair were still slightly wet, and it seemed that she had just finished washing.

"Your roommate is okay, there's nothing wrong with it," Lin Ran asked as the two walked forward together.

A room for two people is also suitable for female staff, and in fact, there are not a few members of the four teams and women in the official team, and there are exactly eight people scattered together in four rooms.

"It's good, she and I are alumni, and I graduated from the management academy the year before last to work at the fist job......," Su Cheng said with a smile, "I just knew that there was an Internet café in the fist where you could play lol!" ”

The two of them came to the elevator, where many team members were already waiting.

The group took the elevator to the ninth floor.

Meeting Room 1 is right in front of you.

Everyone looked at each other.

"It's this room," Uzi said first.

"That's what it says on the room number." The spicy pot stepped forward and pushed the door open.

"Wow......" Baolan couldn't help but exclaim, "This is too strong, isn't it?"

Not only him, but most of the players on the scene were shocked.

The 300-square-meter conference room is filled with computer parts and a variety of tables and chairs.

Ten staff members are busy here, assembling computers and gaming chairs.

In the center of the conference room, there are also several tactical whiteboards.

The huge conference room has been transformed into a giant training room!

"Well, it's okay," Poppy didn't know who he learned from, and began to ask for credit, "Thanks to my soft grinding and hard bubbles, otherwise the organizers wouldn't have made it easy for us at all." ”

"How many computers are there," Lin Ran asked.

"52," he puffed up, "one for all the players and the coaching staff!" ”

"There are four rows of long tables, one team chooses one row to use, and we have prepared one for peripherals and something, and everyone can use projection equipment......"

Listening to Bobby's introduction, Lin Ran had a feeling.

LPL is really trying to win.

The computer and chair installation speed is not slow, and it will not take long for a perfect esports training room to be born.

After the staff left, the white crescent walked to the center of the conference room with a stack of materials.

"Let's take a seat and sit down first," he said very calmly, "I'll say a few words first." ”

At this time, Xiaotian, these contestants who arrived at the conference room a little slower because of washing problems also saw the shocking room structure.

Even if it is the most spacious and luxurious YM in the base, the training room is only half the size of this conference room!

"For the next week, all four of our teams will be here for training and tactical communication......

"The analysts of the four teams share data, and the coaches share tactical system ideas," the white crescent moon, who is the head coach of the mid-season championship, became the boss, "Tonight, YM will have a training match against the lightning wolves, and the four coaches can review together and brainstorm to see what the shortcomings are." ”

He set an example first, and then the three teams had no reason to hide anymore and expressed their positions.

"It's all about winning this continental race!" The white crescent moon is cut to the core.

"Victory!"
