It was undoubtedly a happy spring for Knight, who led the team out of the minor league with an impressive 32-1 record as the absolute core of the YMA.

But he also knew that his fate with YM was coming to an end.

Riot has not allowed the same club to have two top-flight teams since S4, and this policy also played a role in the promotion of Samsung Shizi in China at that time, in addition to the generous salary package.

YMA must change its name and surname after entering the LPL, and if knight wants to continue to stay in the YM first team, he can only play Lin Ran's substitute.

But Lin Ran's competitive state is too stable, and his physical fitness is much better than that of the big head cup AD, and if the left hand is used as a substitute, there is almost no chance to play as a substitute.

After getting the FMVP, the knight will naturally not be satisfied, so it is inevitable to leave.

YMA won the championship easily in three small games, and it was already 9 p.m. when he left the venue after the interview.

Lin Ran and the young people of the second team went to Haidilao for a meal, and the two of them, Garlic Wang Ba and Liu Qingsong, were too lazy to order takeout, so they also rushed over from the base.

"Brother Ran, look at this!" Xiao Tian glanced at his phone and shouted excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent.

Lin Ran took the phone and glanced at it.

It is a Weibo message issued by LPL's official Weibo.

[Out of consideration for the formalization of the event, we will add two awards from this year, the best team and MVP, to express praise for the excellent performance of the players]

(Tips: Some readers asked why they didn't write the regular season MVP before, it's not that they didn't write it, but it was that the LPL didn't have this thing at that time...... For the first time in the 2017 Spring Season, the regular season MVP award was set up, and the winner was QG.Doinb)

[After the voting of the expert panel and the public judges, the results of the LPL Spring Regular Season Honor Selection have now been officially released]

[Regular season first team top laner: y, jungler:, mid laner, ADC:zi, support:]

Nakano was swept by YM, the first team in the bottom lane was won by RNG, and the upper unit was rookie TheShy.

The first lineup of the ADC was taken away by Uzi, and Lin Ran felt that it was very normal.

Jack didn't play much this spring because of stomach problems, and whether AD is strong or not is closely related to the strength of the support, he and the prophet Liu Qingsong, the two new support partners, are not eye-catching on the line this year.

But Lin Ran, the upper unit, was a little surprised, he originally thought that he would award Jin Gong.

A closer look at TheShy's stats made him know why.

With an average output of 555, he was first in the same position, 50 points higher than Loong in second place; The damage accounted for 27.8%, which is still the first in the same position; At the same time, TheShy also had 23 solo kills.

Lin Ran felt outrageous when he looked at this data graph, as mentioned before, Lin Weixiang's average output was only 550 points, and TheShy's damage data was much higher than that of ordinary ADCs.

However, with his high output and frequent line pressing, TheShy was rewarded with infinite targeting, and he had already dared to catch and die, and he died a total of 134 times throughout the season.

He was first in the top laner and second in the overall position – just behind LGD assistant Aya Hirano.

And the jury still gave TheShy a burst of tops.

Because Jin Gong's data is not so gorgeous, the average output and damage proportion are in the top five, and the average damage is in the top three.

However, judging the best lineup based on data performance alone is unfair to blue-collar singles like Jin Gong and 957.

They play a much bigger role on the field than the stats suggest, and a lot of the time they're making strategic sacrifices for the team.

For example, in order to control Xiaolong, the jungler pushed off a blood tower and gave up helping to go on the road, then these blue-collar top laners can only shrink under the tower, and it is inevitable that they will leak the knife, how can this sacrifice be reflected through data?

Lin Ran continued to look down, and the second lineup finally had Jin Gong and Jack.

However, neither of YM's two supports was rated as the best team, and the newcomers and performance were relatively average, which is normal.

Lin Ran swiped through the best lineup map, and then saw a makeup photo of himself, in which he held a playing card on his chest, smiling and looking ahead.

2017 LPL Summer Season Regular Season MVP——!

This result was expected by Lin Ran.

The only ones who can compete with themselves are Uzi and Condi, but in terms of performance and data, Lin Ran is not inferior to them.

It is unreasonable not to give him this award.

Knight flipped out his phone with half of the screen shattered, and opened the Weibo interface with a stutter, and also saw this message.

"Wow......" he couldn't help but whisper.

Below Lin Ran's makeup photos is a string of extremely exaggerated data.

KDA of 7.7, the average economic lead of 2800 per game, the average pressure knife per game is 43.9, the average number of raid successes per game is 2.2, and the average economic difference of 15 minutes per game is 777......

Knight has just debuted for half a year, and his favorite thing to do is to look at his stats after playing.

He compared Lin Ran's data with his own, and the swelling thought in his heart directly retracted.

Lin Ran played in the LPL League, and he didn't have much advantage compared to the data of the secondary league, what else did this swell?

……

The minor league is over, and the relegation and relegation tournament has just begun.

VG fought 4 games with Snake and finally lost, and the original SKT Nakano, the champion skin owners Benji and Hou Ye were one step away from the secondary league.

If they lose the BO5 with LSPL runner-up Dan again, it will really make history, the S champion Nakano dropped the secondary league, and the stupid chicken said before he came that he could have imagined that VG would fall to the point where it is today?

LGD, on the other hand, defeated NB 3:0 neatly and sent the remaining Rainbow QG quartet back to their home in the minor league.

Anyone can see that this old godfather team is not at the level of the relegation and relegation tournament at all, if it weren't for the fact that they were too late to determine the full lineup, they would have the strength to compete for the top three seats in Group B.

Unfortunately, Suning, the runner-up of the second division, will face such an old godfather.

Manager Suning put on a Sima face when he was observing the team meeting, and the villain in his heart roared wildly.

In order to be fair and reasonable, the original format of the relegation and relegation tournament allowed the runner-up team of LSPL to face the winner of the two bottom groups of teams in the LPL; Let the LSPL third place face the loser of the fifth place in the two groups of LPL.

Normally, the bottom team is weaker, so it must be better to play.

But who knew that they would face this old godfather as the runner-up? Who doesn't want to play VG?

The team manager suddenly felt that his future was bleak, and Suning, the owner behind him, invested in this secondary league team, and what he wanted was to be promoted to the LPL.

Originally, their squad was definitely luxurious in the second league, and as a manager, the salary he offered to his players was also one of the best in his class.

Who knew that YMA would suddenly kill a golden left-hander, even if he lost the final, he would have to face the full LGD in the end!

Is there a heavenly reason? The runner-up Suning wants to play the strongest, but the third-place DAN can pick soft persimmons and pinch them?

Manager Suning's heart is like ashes.

Without any accidents, Suning was swept out of the game by the old godfather 0:3 and returned to the secondary league again.

And the third runner-up Dan in the minor league was overjoyed, they originally didn't have any hope of qualifying, but they didn't expect them to play VG!

This team is also an old acquaintance of Lin Ran, and it was this team that he faced at the beginning of his career.

That's right, 2144D.

They have now changed their name to DAN.

Ggoong, the second brother of South Korea, who is loved by domestic audiences, is still in the team at this time.

When he saw that the opponents in the relegation and relegation match were Hou Ye and Stupid Chicken, he immediately became excited, and his limbs were trembling with excitement.

I didn't expect it! You easyhoon and stupid chicken also have today!

Ggoong was beaten by OMG at the S4 World Finals that year, and then beaten as a Muggle by Lin Ran in his debut in the opening game of last year's Spring Tournament.

It's really not good for him to play Chinese, but at this time opposite is SKT's champion Nakano!

A family member from a distant homeland!

Ggoong doesn't have any concerns about "Koreans don't fight Koreans" in his heart, and it's a classic operation.

In an excited mood, he started a little lightly and heavily, and directly beat VG to himself.

3:1！

VG relegation failed!

The five members of the DAN team hugged each other tightly and let out an exhilarating shout.

Listening to the cheers of his rivals, Dumb Chicken looked up at the ceiling of the arena, where the spotlights flickered and flickered, focusing on the five DAN players.

How long has it been since he's left SKT to enjoy such cheers and spotlights?

This is obviously the path he chose by himself, but when it comes to the step of relegation, the stupid chicken is still melancholy and unwilling.

Suddenly, there were a few whimpering sounds.

Stupid Chicken suddenly remembered the sobbing sound of faker after the S6 finals, and subconsciously turned his head sideways.

It's the top single Loong.

Loong, who often chooses heroes such as Shen and Bobby on the field, feels as steady as a mountain, and often does not change his face in the face of strong opponents, which is a strong support point for the team.

But losing the game at this moment, he was about to be relegated, and he finally couldn't control himself and exploded all the negative emotions in his heart.

He was first introduced to the professional league in S2, and from shaver to pro, loong has been chasing this road for 5 years.

He had previously gone through a relegation match with Team UP before moving to VG as a senior unit.

At this point, loong had reached the pinnacle of his individual ability, and with former SKT champion Nakano, he thought it would be an amazing journey.

Even if you can't make it to Worlds, it's still okay to play in the playoffs, right?

But he didn't expect the reality to be so cruel, and at the age of 22, he was about to become an older LSPL top laner.

Loong was disappointed and frustrated, he felt like he had stumbled and spent 5 years just standing still and not improving his grades at all.

In competitive sports, people like him should be called losers, or rather, frustrated.

(Loong performed quite well in the 2017 spring season, but still couldn't get rid of the fate of relegation, and wasted his last peak in the minor league, see the chart)

……

After VG and NB reluctantly bid farewell to the LPL stage, the playoffs slowly opened.

In the first round, there were eight into six, with IM vs. IG and QG vs. EDG.

IG's upper middle almost chiseled through IM, and now TheShy is sharp, and the opponent's top laner AJ is going to be beaten stupid.

He looked at Master Rambo who was riding on his face on the barbecue opposite, and recalled the peerless Ma Run of S5, which was a pain that AJ could never erase in his heart.

Three to one, IG advanced to the top six of the spring tournament.

EDG on the other side swept QG 3-0.

The performance of the above and the bottom was broken in the six-in-four match.

IG and OMG fought for five rounds, and in the decisive game, the broiler clockwork stood up, and the [Command: Shockwave] in the shadow of the dragon pit pulled the OMG three, and the sudden burst of damage directly ended the game! Yiyun Chinese

OMG's ADC Sima Lao Thief didn't make it this step in the end.

Like VG's loong, Sima Lao Thief is also a frustrated, he has not entered the LPL semi-finals so far, and the nickname on his head is "The Emperor of the Relegation Match" in addition to "Facial Paralysis AD".

No matter how strong the emperor is, it is also in the relegation game.

On the other side, EDG vs. WE.

Exciting matches.

The grievances and hatreds between the two teams have to start with a 'fish is dead, and the net is broken, and I will leave tonight'.

WE fans 60E and piglets are even more bitter.

In the past few years, WE's results were not good, and fans didn't dare to jump too much.

But no one expected that last year, S6's ghost foot would kick the two forces into a two-level reversal.

With the strong rise of the Red Army WE2.0 this spring, the 60E finally dared to speak out loud, and before the game started, public opinion on the Internet had been brewing.

[EDG, you see that if I don't do it, you'll be done! ] 】

[Oh no, WE fans can also dance? ] It's been two years, but you're tired, right? 】

[That's not true, when your top 8 Guodian were beaten into stupid dogs by the Tiger team, we already started a group! ] After all, the waste Mingkai, a teammate as a 4, I am 3, 9 is so 6! 】

[Hehe, the top 8 in the World Championship in our lifetime is better than WE, a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp who can't even enter the World Championship. 】

The EDG title comes from the IEM competition in February this year, EDG temporarily withdrew from the competition, claiming that there was a problem with the Polish visa, and angry fans stormed the Polish embassy.

The Polish official came forward to explain that EDG's own materials were not submitted sufficiently and could not apply for a visa, and the Shanghai official also came forward to say that the relevant materials could be processed in 5-7 days, and the time was completely in time.

After comparing the arguments on both sides, netizens found that EDG didn't want to go to Poland to participate in the competition, and once again counterattacked EDG's official blog.

EDG boss Ed Zhu angrily posted on Weibo, "Do trolls want to ruin Chinese e-sports? ”

Such funny remarks have become an eternal classic in the history of LOL e-sports, and Guodian has also become a new title of EDG.

Tengjing didn't expect that the momentum created by this six-in-four knockout match directly topped the hot search on Weibo, and Bai Cha's popularity naturally couldn't be put in vain, Tengjing quickly paid for the hot search, and raised the popularity of the game to a higher level.

Although in the last four rounds of the regular season, the factory director played to help the team win 3 wins, but he still did not get a chance to play in this BO5.

The gap in team strength is too big, and EDG's problem is not an AD at all...... Jungler can solve it.

Even if the factory manager is on the field to deal with the command problem, the individual ability and teamwork ability of the ADC are far from the WE.

I simply don't want to do it.

Although EDG was swept out of WE 0:3, EDG fans, who are known as starch, started to make an article about the factory director not playing.

For a time, remarks such as "the factory director is not a loser" were very popular.

It turns out that Ah Q's Spiritual Victory Method works everywhere.

As long as you feel like you're not losing, you're not losing.

After this key matchup, the places in the semifinals of this year's spring tournament were officially determined, with RNG vs. WE and YM vs. IG.

Lin Ran and the others took time out of the base to watch the semi-finals of RNG vs. WE first.

In the first game, WE controlled the big dragon in the middle of the crushing momentum, and the RNG in the inferior game had no power to resist in the face of an operation team like WE, and was bulldozed by WE in a wave.

In the second game, RNG took out the green steel shadow to letme, and 957 chose to use caution to do the counter to the line.

RNG took advantage of Uzi's strength to get a big advantage in the medium term, and Xiaohu's Ike also ate a lot of heads, and the counterpoint economy was nearly 2,000 ahead.

Lin Ran originally thought that RNG would win the game smoothly in this game.

But he didn't expect a wave of irrational RNG to cross the tower and directly bury all the advantages!

Letme Lower Lane Single Belt Pushes the Pawn Line to the Bottom of Tower 957.

Then Xiaohu's Ike used the line of vision to cover all the way forward, and wanted to try to cooperate with letme to kill 957's Shen in the lower lane of WE.

"Do the two of them really want to cross the tower and kill them? Isn't that not enough? Miller looked at the movements of RNG and was inevitably worried.

As the commentary said, RNG underestimated the cautious frankness of 957, and Xiaohu Ike's E [phase dive] mistake also hit the tower, and finally 957 was 1V2 under the tower to kill Qinggang Shadow!

Xiaohu was also taken away by the WE crowd who rushed over! The tide turned in an instant!

"This Ike damage is too low!" Liu Qingsong in the base couldn't help but shout, "RNG, dare to cross the tower?" ”

"What kind of equipment is Xiaohu?" Lin Ran couldn't help but spread his hands, "He has such a big advantage and plays games like this?" ”

Xiaohu's habitual and steady outfit since last year has finally exposed its drawbacks.

Push stick + Zhongya + Yaoguang, Xiaohu's big advantage of 401 in 25 minutes Ike is out of this equipment.

If he made up for the Lich Scourge for the second time instead of the Zhongya Hourglass, that E [Phase Dive] was not empty, and 957's Shen would definitely die.

"That's too robust, isn't it?" Xiaotian couldn't help but be yin and yang, "On the other side, Zhongfu Karma + Lulu, Xiaohu still wants to come out of Zhongya?" Who's going to kill him? ”

Lin Ran also felt outrageous, Xiaohu was now thinking wrong.

It's not impossible for this 40 Tianhu Aike to make up for Zhongya, and Lin Rantian Hu Luthion has also made up for the blue shield.

But it depends on the lineup.

Lin Ran came out of the blue shield at that time because his teammates didn't lack output at all, and he could win by going up and hitting the black cut armor piercing effect enough.

What about RNG?

Xiao Ming chose Bron and took the green god in the spicy incense pot.

Nosuke has almost no output at all, letme is still an average-developed green steel shadow, Xiaohu has such a big advantage and the second piece can produce Zhongya?

Lin Ran didn't know what to say.

Losing the second game, Uzi's face stinks real.

In the last game, RNG, whose mentality was almost collapsed, still got the advantage in the early stage, but was once again dragged by WE in the late stage and survived the turnaround.

Lin Ran thought before the game that WE would win this game, but he didn't expect the score to be so disparity.

“3:0！ Two BO5s, two 3:0! Miller on the commentary podium shouted, "WE have proven their strength and secured a spot in the finals early!" ”

"WE's dominance this spring is evident, and even RNG can't take a win from them!"

Uzi collapsed in his chair in despair.

Before the game, he thought that he was likely to win the Silver Dragon Cup this year, but he didn't expect WE to let him recognize the reality with only one BO5.

Uzi sighed heavily, rubbed his tired and sore palms, and reluctantly turned away from the stage.

There has been no crown in 5 years, and a strange curse still haunts Uzi.

Although he and Loong and Sima Lao Thief have different grades, their mood is exactly the same.

In competitive sports, there is only one winner, some people achieve their dreams, and some people are disappointed and melancholy.

are all melancholy guests, what a frustrated person.

……

After watching this semi-final, the white crescent moon had a solemn face.

"WE is tougher than we thought," he said, looking at his teammates, "and their operational strength is still improving." ”

"And they didn't lag too far behind in the early and mid-term, and the timing of the stop loss was between 20 minutes and 25 minutes." Lin Ran took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

"It's still a version issue," Su Cheng still turned the pen, "WE can now try to pick up the group head-on as long as we hold up mystic's big mouth, Ice, and Verus make a rundown hurricane." ”

"This is equivalent to letting their original three-piece team battle lineup come out of the mountain in advance."

The reasoning is the same as what RNG Uzi thought before.

It's just that Uzi wants to form equipment and plan to start the team in the middle of the game, and control the big dragon to end the game.

WE, on the other hand, wants the ADC to form equipment, use the team battle lineup to continue to drag back, and wait for the advantage to be big enough, or use the vision operation to find the enemy's breakthrough and then start a team to win the game.

White Crescent nodded, "If we want to win WE, it is not realistic to delay the late stage, and it is the safest way to win in the early stage." ”

"So we have to roll the economy bigger in the early stage, otherwise when the WE lineup is formed, we may be turned over by them like RNG."

There is nothing wrong with what the white crescent moon says.

RNG's last two games were overturned, one is because some players made mistakes in the middle of the game, and the other is because the advantage obtained in the early stage is not big enough, and often one wave can be sent back.

Then WE used the mid-to-late transfer operation and single-belt involvement to control neutral resources to win the game.

"But don't worry, we still have an advantage in personal strength, and WE is still relatively passive in the early stage." Su Cheng comforted on the side.

Lin Ran and others also knew that Kangdi was now working hard to drive the team's early rhythm, but the results were not obvious.

Because WE is accustomed to taking the lineup of mid-to-late stage force, it does not have a combat advantage in the early stage.

However, the hard power of the players against the line has not yet reached the level of not losing to the lane with the inferior hero, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough when the jungler does not gain an advantage in the lane.

After seeing the strength of WE, YM devoted himself to intense targeted training.

The White Crescent has been studying WE for a long time, treating it as an imaginary enemy in the finals, and is quite well prepared.

As for tomorrow's semi-final opponent IG?

White Crescent didn't prepare much tactics at all, and planned to follow the usual routine.

After half a year, he also has a certain understanding of IG.

There aren't many tactics in this team, and in general there is only one - jungler protection in the upper middle and hard mix in the lower lane.

YM is now much stronger than IG in terms of personal strength and run-in, and the white crescent is not worried at all.

As he expected, Jack stepped up in the face of IG's down.

In two games, Verus had a big mouth and played perfectly.

Lin Ran saw that Jack was in good shape, and he was happy to mess around, and Karma and Lulu took out a single holy grail to protect the big head.

In the last game, Jack watched the child and Baolan fight more and more, and his heart was arrogant and soared into the sky, and he forcibly crossed the line to exchange blood with the child, and almost rode on the face of the child and Baolan.

The child looked at the fierce Jack on the other side, and for a moment recalled Uzi.

The passive [Dog Phobia] was triggered again, but fortunately, the child didn't play VN in this game, and took out EZ to go scraping flow, and in 30 minutes, he finally played a 1W output.

Jack's big mouth hit 29,000 output, with damage accounting for 49.6% and a participation rate of 100%, which is an exaggerated statistic.

"It's 3:0 again! YM played very steadily, and BO5 didn't give IG any chance in the whole game, and won smoothly! Remember shouting, "They're going to meet WE in the finals!" ”

"Yes, the pinnacle showdown from Group A will give birth to the king of this spring!" Ze Yuan should be and said.
