In January 2015, the LPL Spring Tournament officially kicked off.

In line with the major updates made by Riot, the LPL league has also been upgraded, with the number of participating teams increasing from eight to twelve, and nine teams bringing in strong Korean reinforcements.

The opening of the era of live streaming has also brought more attention to e-sports competitions, and countless huge amounts of capital have poured into e-sports. The entire LPL has shown a thriving attitude, and both practitioners and ordinary audiences are full of confidence in the future of LPL.

These 12 LPL teams won the qualification in three ways, and the three ways are:

1. The original 2014 summer relegation successful teams, a total of six: EDG, royal, LGD.

2. The top two teams directly qualified for the summer competition: e.

3. The top four teams in the LPL preseason promotion: .A), GT (Guangqi Fenghui), .

These twelve teams form what people call the "LPL Prosperous Age", and the strength of each team cannot be underestimated.

After joining a top league like the LPL, King's manager and players have to sign countless terms of agreement. The dense contracts dazzled Monday too.

When it came time to submit the roster, King ran into a small problem:

LPL player IDs are not allowed in Chinese and must be English letters.

Of King's several team members, only Monday and Skye started with English IDs, and the remaining four were all in Chinese.

After some discussion, King's final submission was finally confirmed.

Manager: Wekiy

Top order: Zeus

Jungler: mlxg

Midlaner: Assassin

Auxiliary: LeyM

Subs: Skye

Judging from the scene, such a lineup is certainly not comparable to such a galactic battleship. However, in terms of tactical coordination and tacit understanding, King has been able to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other.

LOL's competition has never been just about personal strength. Sometimes, a mediocre and complementary team is more likely to win the game than a supernatural but ego individual.

On the opening day, King received a "meeting gift" from LPL:

Invincible battleship EDG!

EDG has been restructured before the season, and now EDG has introduced world-class double-C Korean reinforcements, coupled with the 2014 summer champion Ueno, the strength of the squad is outrageous.

Some people even called OMG, which is known as the strongest all-Chinese class, and EDG, who introduced the world champion midlaner, as LPL double battleships before the start of the competition!

Monday looked at the personnel list of EDG's game, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

EDGKoro

EDGClearlove

EDGPawn

EDGDeft

EDGMouse

…… Wait a minute!

Monday rubbed his eyes and looked closely at the support staff, it was indeed Mouse.

"What's the situation? Isn't this Ah Guang? How does the light of the top order come to assist? What about Meiko's cutie? ”

Monday pinched the list and carefully recalled it, and carefully remembered the personnel changes of EDG in his previous life.

"I'm kind of impressed...... At this time, Curly Hair retired, EDG first brought in Ah Guang to assist, and then because the effect was not good, he tried to replace Meiko...... This change will bring out an MSI champion! ”

After recalling the specific situation, Monday shook his head with some disappointment, he longed to face the peak EDG, and he completely felt a lot less flavor.

"It's okay! Be sure to make it to the playoffs, and at that point, you'll have a chance to play against Peak EDG! "Monday pumped himself up and put the list back on the table.

The game was about to start, and wekiy gathered the players together, explained the final tactical ideas, and cheered for the players who were making their debut in the LPL.

At the urging of the staff, King's five starters each held their own water glasses and followed the staff onto the field.

The venue of the LPL is the venue of the German Cup final, so Monday is the second time they have appeared on this stage, and everyone is not overly nervous.

"First of all, let's welcome...... Team King! ”

With the tone of the host Zhong Er, the five members of King took the stage, and Zhou smiled generously at the camera, while the four of them were a little sluggish, standing motionless and not daring to talk to each other.

"King, Zeus!"

There were some cheers at the scene, and the live broadcast on Monday won the first place in the national server and won the German Cup championship with King, which still attracted some fans for them.

"King Jungler, mlxg!"

The cheers from the audience are still the same, and the light of Monday before seems to have somewhat overshadowed the incense pot, but the German Cup final let everyone see the strength of the incense pot, and he suppressed the world top four jungler Spirit in three consecutive games.

However, from the beginning of the foot god, the enthusiasm of the audience has obviously faded a lot, and this is a very realistic point: King is really unfamiliar to other audiences.

After introducing King's team members, the cheers at the scene seemed to suddenly turn up the volume.

"Next, let's welcome...... EDG Team!! ”

The deafening cheers suddenly became louder, and even if I was mentally prepared on Monday, I was still taken aback.

When the man was introduced, Monday couldn't help but pluck his ears, he felt that he might be about to have tinnitus.

After the players on both sides finished playing, the ten people returned to their positions, sat down and began to debug the equipment.

This is when the commentators come into play, and the commentators begin to ramble around to make time for the players.

The game was narrated by Doll and Long Hair, and the two chatted about interviews with each team before the game, and almost all teams listed EDG as the most important opponent.

After a few minutes, the director reminded the doll that it was time to bring the topic back to the game, and the doll immediately ended the idle conversation with Long Hair.

"Okay, now that the two sides of the game are ready, let's officially enter the game stage!"

The current double round-robin format shows that the two sides take turns to choose sides. In the first game, King picks the side, and they pick the blue side, banning first.

King's coach wekiy and analyst Lao Qi went on stage BP together, and at this time, the LPL did not stipulate that only one person could take the stage BP. So during the S5 period, when some teams were playing, they often saw several coaches and analysts standing behind the players together, which was very interesting.

Chose the Fishman, which is a hero that Pawn is very good at, and the Foot God doesn't have that much faith in his Fishman.

chose the prince, before in the Demacia Cup, the prince of the incense pot can be said to have killed all sides, and EDG also learned a long lesson.

Choosing the Enchantress, like the little fishman, Pawn's Enchantress is too strong, and the King coaching staff unanimously decided not to release it.

Press Yasuo, this hero can swing in the middle and upper in King's system, and King has not used Yasuo to win in the first division. It seems that after the elimination of the German Cup, the team has finally been carefully studied.

King's final ban was given to Cassadine, who was proposed on Monday, and he had met Cassadine of the Pawn a few times during Rank training, which can be said to be very difficult.

EDG chose the Wind Girl in the end, and they have a very strong ability to go down the Deft line, so EDG has to hold down the Wind Girl, a highly protective auxiliary, to create space for Deft's lane.

In fact, both teams deliberately left the two versions of the heroes of Ice Girl and Nar in the ban, and Koro and Monday's Rambo also deserve a ban. But these heroes did not press each other, but tested each other's choice.

King didn't hesitate to grab the Ice Girl on the first floor, they weren't in a hurry to ask for Rambo or Nal, anyway, the Ice Girl could swing in the middle and upper, EDG couldn't Nal Lambo choose together, right?

Sure enough, the first floor of EDG grabbed Nar first, and the second floor locked the excavator after hesitating for a while. Nar is not only the current version of the hero, but also Koro's most confident hero. And the excavator is the new hero who has just come out of this version, and the man dares to take it out and use it, so he naturally has confidence.

King locked the hammer stone on the second floor, and took the wheel mom on the third floor. In the face of Deft, who has a strong laning, first help Le Yi win an option that can cooperate with the jungler, and then let Wuxin get a hero who can mix lanes and play a team at the same time, and try his best to dismantle Deft's threat.

EDG locks the fire girl on the third floor, and takes down the rat on the fourth floor. Abu first helps Mouse get the support that can attack the group, and then chooses the mouse for Deft in the late Carry. It is said that in the face of the combination of hammer stone and wheel mother, rats generally dare not choose, and their ability to line is too weak. But Deft is confident, as if he doesn't take Wuxin Le Yi seriously at all.

King takes Rambo on the fourth floor, and locks the poodle on the fifth floor. In the face of Koro's Nal, Monday also took out his very confident Rambo to make up for the damage of King's lineup. And the poodle of the incense pot is to match King's lineup system, and the poodle of the incense pot also plays very well.

EDG's last counter position was reserved for the mid laner Pawn, and Abu hesitated for a long time before locking the Tsar for the Pawn.

Final lineup: King top laner Rambo, jungle poodle, mid laner ice girl, ADC wheel mom, auxiliary hammer stone.

EDG top laner Nar, jungler excavator, mid laner czar, ADC mouse, auxiliary Annie.

After the start, King knew that there was Annie on the other side, so he didn't choose to play the first-class team, and both sides of the jungle were opened in the lower half of the jungle.

The incense pot Kaiye did not let the duo help out, which gave Wuxin Le Yi plenty of time to come to the next road in advance.

Before the minions went online, the King duo played a small trick, and the two hid in the grass on the line and squatted to the fire girl who came to investigate.

Le Yi learned the pendulum of doom at the first level, he first played a passive with A, and then immediately swept back the fire girl with E, and at the same time set it on fire.

The fire girl was so frightened that she immediately turned around and handed over W, Le Yi was stunned by the fire girl, but he was not in W's range unintentionally, he continued to chase and kill the fire girl.

The fire girl put on the wheel mother and set it on fire, and then fled to the bottom of the tower without looking back. And Deft's rat has been attacking Wuxin, relying on his own Ping A will be heartless.

The remnant bloodless Wuxin naturally didn't dare to chase the fire girl anymore, it was originally a situation where the fire girl would die, but Deft forced the King duo to retreat with a dozen and two.

Unwilling to turn around and run away, Deft didn't chase after him. But at this time, Le Yi's temper came up, and he manipulated the hammer stone to attack Deft, and the flat A plus E skill beat Deft into half blood, helping Wuxin to regain some advantages.

The advantage of blood volume allowed the King duo to press the line to their heart's content, and after the incense pot was red, they also took the opportunity to invade the lower half of the EDG jungle.

The factory director was playing a toad at this time, and the five-star poodle of the incense pot suddenly appeared, and the factory director was so frightened that he immediately ran away.

Xiangguo did not chase the factory director, but casually accepted the factory director's toad, and the factory director lost a big wild monster and lost a lot of money.

King's lower field has a slight advantage, while both sides are evenly matched in the middle and upper, and the form is somewhat tilted towards King.

In the fifth minute, Monday was already able to hold down Koro after three levels, and he pushed the line under the Koro tower, and the follow-up knife led by more than ten cuts.

The foot god in the middle lane is still evenly matched here, and the ice girl and the tsar develop each other, and no one can suppress anyone.

And the king duo in the lower lane also pressed the line into the defense tower, and Wuxin had already pressed Deft more than ten knives, ready to go home to replenish after pushing this wave of lines.

At this time, the incense pot was brushing the wild in the upper semi-wild area of EDG, and he reminded: "Be careful on the lower road, the excavator is underneath." ”

Wuxin replied: "Okay, let's go back after pushing the line!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fire girl suddenly walked up against the line, and Le Yi sensed that something was wrong, and the two immediately retreated.

At this point in time, five minutes happened to be the gap in the field of vision of the lower lane, and King had no vision at all in the triangle grass on the lower lane, which also made Wuxin Le Yi panic.

After the two retreated to the middle line of the lower road, the fire girl and the rat were still in hot pursuit. At this moment, behind the wall next to the triangle grass, an excavator suddenly appeared.

Le Yi's eyes are quick, and he hooked the excavator with a precise Q skill, pulled the excavator towards him, and then swept the excavator away with the E skill.

Although Le Yi's control played beautifully, this time also allowed the fire girl to follow in time. The fire girl stunned the hammer stone with a Q skill, the excavator was connected to the control top fly, and Le Yi was instantly disabled.

After the control was over, Le Yi immediately handed over the flash and fled back to the tower, and unintentionally handed over the treatment to Le Yi to carry back the blood volume. The EDG trio had no choice but to turn around and retreat, and the King duo resolved the danger.

"Damn, I'm scared to death!" Unintentionally, they all looked like they had palpitations.

"If it weren't for this young fire girl, Le Yi and I would have donated here! Why does the factory director like to catch it so much? ”
