In the group stage for two days, Lin Xuan did not play, which made the two coaches of SKY bear a lot of public opinion pressure.

However, some people can understand the plans of the coaching staff, after all, the continental competition is not as good as other competitions, there are only three divisions in total, even if you are at the bottom of the group stage, you can still enter the knockout round, and that is the time to decide.

Of course, there are many people who know the intentions of the coaching staff and still scold them on the Internet.

There is only one round in the group stage, so once you lose, unless you face each other in the knockout round, there will be no chance of revenge, and in the four games on the first day, the LPL lost all four games, and the second day was better, getting two points.

After eight games in the group stage, the records of the four teams are not very good, SKY0-2, Ichthyosaurs 1-1, TL1-1, 4190-2, if they can't get a valuable point in the knockout round, SKY and 419 are likely to leave without a win.

On the third day of the continental competition, that is, on July 15, after two days of group stage, the first round of knockout matches will officially begin, and the winner of the LPL and LMS will advance to the finals and compete with the LCK for the final championship.

The LPL has a 2-6 record in the group stage, with four defeats against the LCK and two wins and two losses against the LMS, while the LMS has a 4-4 record with two wins and two losses against both the LCK and the LPL.

After yesterday's group stage, the official announced the list of the first teams to appear in the knockout stage the next day.

LPL is SKY.

LMS is its own spring runner-up WSL.

After the starting list was announced, the audience in the LPL region, who had experienced a two-day defeat in the group stage, finally regained hope: the man finally returned to the starter.

Although Lin Xuan didn't play in the past two days, he actually participated in the training match, but he had never played a training match with the LMS and LCK teams.

If he can return to the team at full health, SKY naturally doesn't need to hide anything, but unfortunately although he can appear, because of a finger injury, he is still adapting to playing games with three fingers, and his state will definitely be affected, so he has to keep some things as much as possible.

The knockout round started at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which is not much of a problem for domestic audiences, but for Jiang Qianyu, who is in North America, it is definitely not friendly.

Xiao Nizi is about to take the exam, and she wasted a lot of precious time some time ago, so it was very painful during this time, and Lin Xuan, in order to comfort her, even said the words "There is no suspense anyway, it's the same whether you watch the live broadcast or not".

Although it takes all the strength of the lion to fight the rabbit, "all the strength" does not mean that the lion has to doubt whether he can beat the rabbit, so Lin Xuan did not have the slightest weakness when he said this.

Even in the worst case, there is TL to guarantee it.

TL's results in the World Championship in recent years have not been glorious, but the winning rate of playing LMS is 100%, which is far more than LCK in this regard, because LMS is the region that has defeated the most LCKs in the World Championship, especially TPA is the most famous, so there are two completely different ridicules of "Anti-Korean Pioneer" and "LPL Son".

Because he went to bed a little late after the evening review, Lin Xuan also deliberately got up more than an hour late in the morning, and when he came to the training room after breakfast, he was a little surprised to find that in addition to Jiang Yingxue, Mu Wanli was actually there.

"I went to bed early last night, I couldn't sleep, so I got up."

Mu Wanli didn't know whether he was weak or looking for something to talk about, so he took the initiative to confess to Lin Xuan the reason why he was here.

"It's good to get up early, the early bird gets the worm."

Lin Xuan lazily moved his body, feeling a little nostalgic for his back pain, so he twisted his waist again, and then sat down in his place, and said casually: "Didn't you say that there are a lot of delicious foods here, can we walk around after the game?" ”

"I guess I'll leave the next day after the fight, if you want to go, you can only play after the finals." Mu Wanli was queuing, so he was relatively idle, and he was still watching the news.

"It's a bit hard, because you're going to celebrate."

Jiang Yingxue was also queuing, but people didn't know what they were looking at with PAD, Lin Xuan leaned over to take a look, and found that it was actually a comic, Xiao Nizi was also watching it some time ago, a new work by a popular beautiful cartoonist in China.

"Shallow?"

Jiang Yingxue glanced up at him, then nodded, and continued to look down, she was the same as Xiao Nizi, she read comics very carefully, unlike Lin Xuan who only watched the plot, when she watched it with Xiao Nizi, she always had to wait for her for a long time.

Of course, that's not the point.

Since talking to Jiang Yingxue about Su Hui that day, Lin Xuan had vaguely felt that Jiang Yingxue's attitude towards him had changed somewhat, but he couldn't say what was different, just a hazy and subtle feeling.

He once thought that it was because he was also a "wise man", but he didn't feel like it, and after seriously recalling and reflecting, he felt that there seemed to be no change.

Since he couldn't think clearly, Lin Xuan didn't spend too much thought on this matter, anyway, he was not his daughter-in-law, there was no need to think about such a small matter, otherwise Xiao Nizi would be able to say that there was still a little bit of trust, at most it would be good to take the opportunity to be coquettish and coax a kiss.

But if Jiang Yingxue misunderstands that she has any bad intentions for her, wouldn't the world's No. 1 down-lane combination "collapse halfway"?

Lin Xuan turned on the computer, logged in to the game, and then clicked on the queue, and then turned his head to look at the situation of the two teammates, Mu Wanli received a temporary departure test, but Jiang Yingxue was still reading comics.

She's been in line for twenty-three minutes.

Could it be that the system also knows that she is not easy to get along with?

Lin Xuan turned his head and asked, "Do you want a piece?" ”

Jiang Yingxue didn't raise her head and said, "Don't." ”

"Why?"

Jiang Yingxue ignored him and continued to read the comics very seriously.

Lin Xuan said a little depressedly: "You can't, when I can take you to the score, you will be in a double row with me all day long, and I won't take care of me as soon as my hand is injured, okay?" ”

Jiang Yingxue ignored him and continued to read the comics very seriously.

"Do you know what you call this behavior? You're calling it ......."

Jiang Yingxue turned her head and stared at him.

"Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, what is the relationship between the two of us, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, right? Besides, I always have a good hand, right, and when the time comes, I will ...... if you ask me to take you to the top points."

Jiang Yingxue, who had just turned around, turned her head again.

"I'll take you with me."

She continued to look down at the comics.

Lin Xuan pursed his lips and began to form a team, and said, "Ah Li, will you finish this game together?" ”

Mu Bangli took off his headphones and looked at him with a blank expression, "What's wrong?" ”

"Together?"

Lin Xuan didn't expose him, please, your computer taskbar is not hidden, and anyone with better eyesight can see the mute sign, okay?

"I'm the king."

Mu Wanli said more implicitly, but the implication is still very clear, we can't double row.

Lin Xuan: "......"

Lin Xuan and Jiang Yingxue received the temporary departure test almost at the same time, but the difference between the two ranks was too great, so it was naturally impossible to be in the same game.

He deliberately went to take a look at Jiang Yingxue's rank, and also reached the king, but they were all kings, she queued for nearly half an hour, and when Mu Bangli finished the team just now, she couldn't even line up in the same game...... If this was some kind of hint in the dark, Lin Xuan felt very sorry for Mu Wanli.

After playing two games, Lin Xuan chatted with Xiao Nizi who was about to go to bed for a while, and the others also got up one after another, each playing RANK hot hand, and then after lunch, he set off for the arena.

Lin Xuan came back from recording the pre-game interview, the four teams had all arrived, and the coaches were continuing to discuss the issue of the order of appearance, but in fact, everything that could be said in this regard was almost said last night, and what to do now is to make temporary adjustments and small talk.

Lin Xuan and the others were bored in the training room and played SOLO, and were soon reminded that it was time to get ready to play.

The appearance was simple, there was no ceremony, so they each carried their own equipment and walked up the stage along the backstage passage.

On the third day of the continental competition, Lin Xuan walked on the stage for the first time, and the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall is not a gymnasium, so one of the extra-large "conference rooms" used as a competition venue can accommodate 2,000 people, which is not small in terms of scale.

There are a certain number of vacancies on the site, but there are very few, so as far as the eye can see, it is basically people.

and LMS lights.

There are also LPL light signs, Lin Xuan also saw "LPL", "SKY", "Xiaoxue" and his own name, but in fact, there are only two pieces, "LPL" and "SKY" share a light sign, and brother-in-law and Xiaoxue share a light sign.

This should be a student from the mainland, or someone who happens to be playing here.

Lin Xuan walked to the front of the competition area and sat down in his position, while Jiang Yingxue returned to the auxiliary position after more than a month.

In the warm-up time before the start of the game, the director gave the shots to the players on both sides, and at this time, Jiang Yingxue was undoubtedly the protagonist, and the director deliberately gave her a full-screen close-up after the storyboard.

"The director deliberately gave Xiaoxue a shot, and she is still as beautiful as ever."

Shu Ya, who was in charge of today's commentary, said with a smile, and Xin Xin next to him immediately took over with a smile, "Do you know what I have always envied Xiaoxue the most?" ”

"It's good-looking."

Shu Ya's answer choked Xin Xin for a moment, and she had no choice but to say: "Of course this is, but the most important thing is the skin, the skin of people who are often in front of the computer is generally affected, and they will stay up late, but Xiaoxue doesn't seem to be affected at all, her skin is too good." ”

"Really. You can go back and ask if there are any maintenance tips. ”

"This one does."

"Remember to tell me by the way."

Although the results of the first two days were not good, firstly, the brother-in-law played today, and secondly, most people were still optimistic about the first game, so the two commentators were not very serious.

After Shu Ya teased a few words, he pulled the topic back and turned his head to ask the former professional player next to him what he thought of the game.

"Many viewers may not know much about the WSL team, they are a team that has just risen to the top of the LMS this year, before losing to TPA in the spring, they were almost overwhelmed, and they have not lost in the summer until now, so they are an opponent to be reckoned with."

"This team relies a lot on the rhythm of the Upper Field, which is different from SKY, which is more often through the jungler and the bottom lane, especially now that the brother-in-law is back......"

"But I heard that my brother-in-law's injury doesn't seem to be healed yet?"

"Yes, the operation will definitely have a certain impact, but in fact, I think that in fact, like this kind of player, the operation is secondary."

"Yes, whether he is there or not is an influence in itself, and as far as I know, although SKY does not have a unified command, if the ideas are not consistent, it seems that the brother-in-law is still the main one, so his return must have a relatively big impact on SKY's decision-making."

For SKY, command is actually a helpless thing, under normal circumstances, the command of the team is mostly held by support or jungler, because these two positions have time to look at the whole field and can see the situation of other positions in time.

But it's a pity that in SKY, there are two most suitable positions for command, one is like gold, and the other is brainless, and it is difficult for Lin Xuan to take into account the situation of other positions in real time when he is on the line, so he can only not set up a command position, but give a supreme decision-making power.

"Brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law?"

"There's no brother-in-law here."

"Brother."

"Do you dare to be more disgusting?"

"Lend me a sip of water."

"I don't borrow it."

"Wait a minute, I'll go down the road and catch it."

"You don't have to come."

"Hey, it's hard to stop playing ADC."

"Xiaoxue, that's also water, you can borrow her to try."

“…… My Coke is delicious. ”

"Xiaoxue, did you see it, Liu Handong still dares to dislike you."

The referee behind him asked, "Do you want water?" You can ask the staff to send it over. ”

"No, no, I'll just drink Coke, don't bother."

"And you still need water?"

"If you finish early, you can go down and drink water."

Time passed quickly during the small talk, and after the referee reminded them, SKYLi, SKYJinu, SKYqiqi, SKYFirst, and SKYice entered the game room in turn.

The WSL blue side quickly pulled out Kaisha, Lowe, and Green Steel Shadow, all of which were aimed at players, while SKY's side pulled out Svein, Galio, and Rock Sparrow.

WSL grabbed Varus.

SKY took down the newly revamped Sword Demon and Troll.

WSL takes Pig Girl and Tam .

SKY takes the green steel shadow.

In the second round of drafting, WSL knocked out Bullhead and Ezreal, while SKY eliminated Vampire and Knife Girl.

"It feels like they're all on the other side?"

", they don't know how we're going to play."

"It should be said that our tactics are well arranged."

"What shall we take?"

"Policewoman?"

"Actually, the policewoman's brother-in-law can also play?"

"What do you mean, don't believe in Xiaoxue?"

"Damn, can you not be so cheap?"

Lin Xuan helped Jiang Yingxue lock up the policewoman, and then WSL took Orn and Ice Girl.

"Then SKY has one last support slot left, and it feels like there are quite a lot of heroes."

"Karma or Morgana are good choices."

"Yes, and this is the policewoman of the brother-in-law, and the ability to line is still very strong, whether it is Morgana or Karma, with the policewoman has a strong line suppression force......"

The analysis of the three commentators is very reasonable, the female policemen have already been selected, so it must be to play an advantage online, but ......

"Yasuo?"

"What the hell is this?"

"Uh...... Auxiliary Yasuo again? ”

Whether it is the commentators, the spectators, or the professional teams who are watching the game, they are all taken aback by Yasuo, who was shown at the end of the SKY.

"Isn't that right?" Even Liu Handong muttered a little.

"Please, you can win this kind of team in four or five, okay?"

Lin Xuan urged Jiang Yingxue to hurry up and make sure, "I'm only responsible for being happy." ”

Jiang Yingxue ignored him.

Ren Fan hesitated: "If you can't play an advantage on the line, this hero will basically be scrapped." ”

"No, you see that Varus, Orn, and Pig Sister are all restrained by the wind wall, and I will get back to my roots by blocking two ultimates."

"Then take it, play it casually, it's a big deal to play the fifth game, and I'll carry the pot."

Ren Fan groaned again, and finally patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder and agreed to this selection that seemed to be a little "messy".

First, there is indeed a gap in the strength of the two, and secondly, when he watched the group stage backstage in the past two days, the cheers of the audience for the LCK also stimulated him a little.

"Locked?"

"My Nima, this is the continental race, big brother!"

"That's too sassy, isn't it?"

In the LPL backstage lounge, the players and coaches of the other three teams almost didn't bare their eyes out, Jiang Yingxue had played an auxiliary Yasuo before, but it was in the Demacia Cup, and it was also a qualifier...... Whether this is an intercontinental competition or not, it is a matter of regional honor, and if you are not careful, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame!

"I don't think Yasuo should be a support, right?"

"What's that auxiliary? Green Steel Shadow? Sword Demon or Policewoman? ”

"Yasuo can't help!"

"They've played with Yasuo."

"See how they divide it."

Hero tweaks soon begin, but something even more surprising is here.

Yasuo came to the AD position, and the auxiliary position was a policewoman.

"Holy!"

"Sure enough, I can't think of it"

……

The three commentators didn't know what to say for a while, Shu Ya worked hard to sort out his thoughts, and said, "No, it should still be Yasuo to assist, and the hero of the policewoman can't assist...... No, of course, Yasuo can't assist, but SKY has a lesson from the past, so this should be the brother-in-law who uses Yasuo to assist, and Xiaoxue is the AD position. ”

"That's how it should be, but Yasuo assists...... How to play? ”

In fact, what Xin Xin wanted to say was "What's the use?" But naturally, it's not easy to say it so bluntly, and LMS and LCK naturally don't have this scruple on their side.

When I first saw Yasuo, the two commentators almost simultaneously thought it was a joke and teased the audience, but just as they were saying "SKY is not quite the same style as other LPL teams, I like to play some ......" Before he finished speaking, Yasuo locked in.

"What the hell is this?"

"It can't be the wrong choice, right?"

"This lineup can't be played, who can assist?"

"It can't really be Yasuo's assistant, right?"

"Feel this...... ADC is going to curse, although the assistant is a beautiful woman......"

After the two commentators who almost stared out of their eyes were stunned, they studied the lineup of the five heroes of Sword Demon, Troll, Qinggang Shadow, Policewoman and Yasuo, and I really didn't know who could assist, some doubted whether it was a routine, and some thought it was a wrong choice and waited for a re-election.

When Ren Fan straightened his collar and walked to the middle of the stage very calmly to shake hands with the coach opposite, the coach on the other side still thought he was dreaming, looked at him with very uncertain eyes, and almost asked: "Are you sure you don't want to re-elect?" ”

Before the commentators and the audience could accept this reality, the pre-match interview appeared on the big screen.

The person interviewed was Lin Xuan.

"Because of a finger injury, I haven't recovered yet, so I was recuperating two days ago and didn't play."

"I can only press the keyboard with three fingers now, and I'm still very uncomfortable, and I'm usually fine, but if I play a game, it will definitely still be affected, especially the operation, so I can only play some heroes who don't need to operate or have relatively simple operations."
