"Flowing fire" refers to the main star of Scorpio going westward and eventually disappearing, and the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the first month of autumn, so "July flowing fire" means that summer goes to autumn, and the weather becomes cooler, not hot, as if it is going to catch fire."

Liu Handong and Li Yi walked into the bus one after the other, and corrected Li Yi's idiom use mistakes without pretentiousness, but they were quickly debunked by Xue Yunqi, who was sitting in the front position: "Why, I was just educated yesterday, and I started to educate others today?" ”

"It's called applying what you've learned."

Liu Handong put down his backpack, sat on the empty seat behind Xue Yunqi, turned his head and asked Lin Xuan across the aisle, "Is it brother-in-law?" ”

Lin Xuan ignored him, leaned back in his chair, holding a copy of "The American Trap" in his hand, and was reading it intently.

This book is well-known to many people because of the current situation and the press conference of a certain domestic company, and Lin Xuan also remembered to read this book because of this, and it happened that Jiang Yingxue had it there, so he made a clever come, originally only planning to flip through it, but when he looked at it, he found that he was about to finish it.

Jiang Yingxue sat in the seat behind him, without headphones, and was closing her eyes to recuperate, waiting for the bus to leave for the airport.

The time is close to the middle of July, because the continental competition is about to start, the LPL Summer Tournament has deliberately left a few days of blanks, and the top four teams in the Spring Tournament will represent the LPL in the Asian Competition, which will be held in Kaohsiung City, SKY is this morning's flight.

The four teams are SKY, Ichthyosaurus, TL and 419. In the spring game, SKY finally completed the miracle of winning the championship from the penultimate in the LPL with a shocking four.

And although TL was swept by SKY 0:3 in the semifinals, and the golden body of the "Civil War Phantom God" was broken, but in the subsequent battle for the third place, TL once again proved what it means to be "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", and the 419 team with Wang Hao as the core was once again clearly understood by TL Korean operation education, TL effortlessly killed 419 3:0 and won the third place that was not very glorious for them.

In the group stage of the continental competition, the regional battle will be strictly based on the ranking of 1234, and only when it comes to the knockout round, can the order of play be arranged by each region without being restricted by the ranking - unless the fifth game is played, the team cannot be re-played.

Lin Xuan had heard the saying that "the Tang and Song dynasties were in Japan, the Ming Dynasty was in Korea, and the Republic of China was in Taiwan", although he scoffed at this, he still had a certain curiosity about this legendary treasure island of the motherland, which was very rich, but unfortunately after landing, they didn't have time to wander around.

However, all the way from the airport to the hotel, except for the traditional Chinese characters, everything else is like that.

The Fish Dragon team and 419 arrived yesterday, Lin Xuan and TL came to the hotel arranged by the organizer one after another, about this regional competition, before leaving, the coaches of the four teams had a discussion, and after coming to the hotel, Zhang San and Ren Fan quickly went over to meet.

SKY beat STR at MSI, and the other clubs were not jealous, but at the continental competition, the four teams were on the same side after all, so after SKY took the initiative to "strengthen communication and tactical sharing", the other three teams quickly responded enthusiastically.

In fact, at the first continental tournament a few years ago, the four teams of the LPL that lost SKY also had such a sincere cooperation, and the advocate of that time was TL, and successfully defeated the LCK, TL attracted countless fans because of this, and they did shine at that continental tournament, but unfortunately, after a short period of time, it was not able to change the situation that LPL is becoming more and more weak in the world championship and TL is not playing as well as it should be.

In the LPL Summer Tournament, which has been going on for nearly a month, SKY's results are not good, and after the first victory, it ushered in four consecutive defeats, not only Li Yi's problem, the entire SKY from the coaching staff to the players, seems to be a little "confused", and there are some operations that fans can't understand, such as Mu Wanli, after taking out the almost god-like sword Ji, he was still hit by the opponent's top single kill.

This state of affairs has made many neutral fans of SKY and LPL not dare to hold out much hope for the prospect of this continental tournament - of course, there must still be.

It stems from a very simple thing.

In the list of SKY for the continental competition, the sixth person on the bench is not Zhang Heng in the LPL, but Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan held a live broadcast during this time, and the result was that the screen was full of "German orthopedics", "kill Lin Xuan, grab shallow", "knife in hand, kill forest dog", and he couldn't ban it, and then he was too lazy to broadcast live, ready to wait for the limelight to pass.

But it's a pity that even if he doesn't play, every time there is a SKY game, these ridicules will never be absent, and now it has developed to the extent that as long as it is a League of Legends game, even if it is an LCK or LCS game, someone will brush it.

Maybe someone really took off their fans of Jiang Qianyu because of this, maybe someone really turned black to Lin Xuan because of this, there may be feelings of envy, jealousy, disdain, and contempt, but even if people who look at him unpleasantly, they will not deny his strength.

Lin Xuan's finger recovery is not bad, according to the doctor's instructions, at least a week, at most half a month, he can resume training and play, so about whether Lin Xuan is going to the continental competition, whether he can go, whether he wants to go, how to decide the list...... There has been a lot of difficulty and discretion within SKY.

In the end, it was Lin Xuan and Zhang Heng who made a decision, Lin Xuan said that if needed, he could play, and Zhang Heng said that as long as his brother-in-law could play, he would not waste that place.

However, although Lin Xuan was on the substitute list, there was only one possibility, and everyone didn't want Lin Xuan to play. Because if you play now, it will definitely affect Lin Xuan's recovery from injury, and then affect the entire summer season of SKY.

Although Lin Xuan was injured, he didn't play training matches during this time, but it was not that he didn't play games, and after the injury, he quickly thought of a temporary "expedient measure".

He was injured with his index finger, and he can use his little finger, ring finger and middle finger instead to operate without using his index finger, and the impact will definitely be there, but if you choose some heroes who are easy to operate, especially those who don't rely too much on ultimate, you can still fight.

After dinner, SKY played two training rounds against 419, TL and Ichthyosaurus, winning only one of the six games, which is definitely not optimistic, because the schedule of the continental competition is tight and they don't have much time.

The next morning, Zhang San and Ren Fan announced the news that Lin Xuan had joined the training, and the position was auxiliary.

The opponent of the first training match was still the Fish and Dragon team, Li Yi and Zhang San and Ren Fan were together, and after watching the two training matches, the expression on their faces was very strange.

"Do you think they've been playing you all these days?"

Ren Fan, who also had a somewhat strange expression on his face, asked in a joking tone.

Li Yi glanced at the two coaches and quickly shook his head.

Zhang San sighed: "Don't talk about you, I also suspect that they have been playing you all this time." ”

Ren Fan silently added: "Plus one." ”

After Lin Xuan came on the field, the spirit of the entire team was obviously renewed, Liu Handong had a brain, Mu Wan didn't slip away, Xue Yunqi also knew how to swim away, and even Jiang Yingxue had fewer words.

Naturally, no one suspected that other people were acting, but after Lin Xuan came on the stage, the changes brought to others were too huge, which made Zhang San and Ren Fan, who understood the reason, a little muttered.

played two training matches with the fish dragon, one win and one loss, and then played a training match with the LCK, Lin Xuan left the table again and replaced Li Yi on the court.

"How does it feel?"

"It's still a little uncomfortable."

Lin Xuan didn't hide it, and there was no way to hide it, and it wasn't RANK that could be played casually, when it came to the professional arena, the strangeness of the game brought by the four fingers to the three fingers would inevitably have an immeasurable impact on the game.

It's like being able to release skills accurately without looking at the keyboard at all, all kinds of operations have been deeply rooted in the bones, and the conditioned reflexes of the muscles have already been formed, and it is too difficult to twist it in a short period of time, and even if he can do it, Lin Xuan can't do that, unless he plans not to press the keyboard with his index finger in the future, otherwise he will have to feel uncomfortable again after the injury heals.

At the end of the day, everyone was very busy, and after the review, Zhang San and Ren Fan had to meet with the coaches of other teams to do a rare tactical exchange.

Zhang San and Ren Fan have undoubtedly become the core of the coaching staff of the four teams, because their opponents in the continental tournament are LCK, and among the people present, although most of them are from South Korea, when it comes to beating the LCK, there is no doubt that these two in front of them have more experience.

After discussing privately, Zhang San and Ren Fan contributed two sets of tactics, one was the AD Jungle Stream, and the other was the Hunger Strike Stream, both of which were originally proposed by Lin Xuan.

The former SKY has been practicing for a while, but the effect is not very good, and the latter is a big move prepared by himself, and he was originally going to give a knife to a certain team present by surprise, if it weren't for the unsatisfactory results of the training matches of the four teams, they would never take it out easily.

In addition to the tactical exchange of coaches, the communication between the players has also increased significantly compared to the LPL, after the implementation of the home-and-away system in the LPL, different teams are scattered in different cities, even if there is a game, it is before the game, and the game is over, and there must be a frustration, it is not easy to find an opportunity to communicate.

This kind of contact is mostly in the group activity time of eating and exercising, Xiyan and Jiang Yingxue have undoubtedly become the objects of everyone's attention, although the former is famous, but he gets along with a group of big men and is generous, and with Alley as a springboard, they still get along well in most cases.

As for Jiang Yingxue, whether it is single or good-looking, she is more eye-catching than Xiyan, but from beginning to end, unless she acts alone, except for Xiyan, no one will take the initiative to talk to her, and even if she occasionally acts alone, except for a few people who are more narcissistic or cheerful, they don't think that she is acting alone, such as her mobile phone, it is likely to be her partner, just say hello to her mobile phone.

The few people who took the initiative to greet her received a response unexpectedly, even if it was just a nod of their heads, or a look at their eyes, which was somewhat presence.

Jin Zaixiu, who was transferred from TL to the 419 team before the summer game, secretly inquired with Lin Xuan and them more than once in private: "I'm really super super curious, how do you communicate with her, do you rely on your eyes?" ”

Under normal circumstances, when asked this kind of question, other people would either point their fingers at Lin Xuan, or answer Lin Xuan, or they would be "the one who almost broke his leg".

For various reasons, there will inevitably be all kinds of conflicts or contradictions in the professional arena, so such a meeting, in fact, there will be some more embarrassing scenes, such as Lin Xuan and Wang Hao on the second night of arriving at the hotel, during dinner, they accidentally sat at the adjacent table, but Jin Zaixiu, as Wang Hao's new teammate, also had a good chat with everyone who had defeated him twice, and occasionally talked about some topics, and would turn his head to ask Wang Hao.

This guy who used to have an extremely hot temper in the game, he didn't see any temper when he met, and even made people feel a little shy and immature, Lin Xuan can probably understand that he is so focused on the League of Legends and ignores reality to some extent, and even affects the growth of a certain part of the mind, this is a very common thing, people's energy is limited, and there are not a few geniuses who are "biased".

Of course, understanding is understanding, if Wang Hao behaves like this again in the future, Lin Xuan will never hesitate to turn his face, even if he had chatted with Wang Hao with a smile at dinner that day, he couldn't see any traces of discord.

As for the other famous Like, Lin Xuan had heard some things about him before, Ren Fan, Zhang Heng, Zhang San, former old people, would never have any communication in the face of Like, and it was already rare to ignore them as enemies, and these new generation of players, although they would not have such an attitude, but if they were to contact him without any guilt, it was unrealistic, even if you didn't hate him, their own position was still there.

This is something that cannot be avoided and ignored.

Like obviously knows this, so he talks and laughs with other people, but he never takes the initiative to get to SKY's side, the well water on both sides does not violate the river water, and because the Ichthyosaurus team and SKY are in the same breath, when 419 has a part of the close to SKY or Ichthyosaurus, TL In most cases, it is the people of his own team, but he does not deliberately avoid it, such as making a joke, or letting so-and-so have a treat, as long as he is present, he will not ignore the part of the other team's members.

The media operation members of each team have posted many photos of each team falling in love with each other, which has caused a certain wave in the LPL fan group, and many people are very pleased.

This relief did not last long, as the two-day rest buffer period passed quickly, and the intercontinental confrontation officially kicked off, and the LPL lost all of them on the first day of confrontation.

If losing the LCK is barely acceptable, then losing to LMS is a slap in the face to everyone.

What's even more heart-wrenching is that on the territory of compatriots in the eyes of everyone, when the LPL loses to anyone, there will be earth-shattering cheers at the scene.

This makes many people, including LPL players, have an illusion, as if they are a foreign team, and LCK, they enjoy the same treatment here as the home court, especially the two teams of STR and Crane, when playing the LPL or even the LMS team, even if it is to punish a river crab and pull out an eye position, many people will cheer excitedly.

When Lin Xuan sat backstage and heard those cheers for the first time, the first team to appear had not yet lost, but at the beginning of the first game, he was removed by the other party, and at that moment he thought that he was in a foreign country, or that there were so many international friends who had traveled thousands of miles to swim to support his team.

Many hazy impressions that have been established since childhood in textbooks, film and television and other aspects collapsed in that incomprehensible moment.

Maybe the League of Legends group can't say anything, maybe the LPL's record in recent years is too unsightly, but at least ...... That's what I see.

Labor and management are unhappy.
