The 5th anniversary celebration of League of Legends will be held at the GZ International Sports Performing Arts Center at the end of August.

At that time, the LPL Summer Finals and the World Finals LPL Trials (Bubble Match) will also be held here.

In order to prepare for the past in advance, Lin Han and the others took a plane to GZ a few days in advance.

The schedule is out.

The first thing to start with is the EDG vs. RNG Grand Final.

In Lin Han's memory, EDG defeated RNG 3:0 and won the summer championship with a record of winning all the regular seasons.

But now, with SSR beating them in the regular season and changing the course of history, Lin Han is not 100% sure what the final outcome will be.

From August 27th to August 28th, four teams will compete for the last ticket to the World Finals.

They are: VG, Snake, WE, and SSR.

The respective standings are: WE first, SSR second, Snake third, VG fourth.

The team at the front is in an absolutely advantageous position.

If the teams at the bottom of the rankings want to make it to the Worlds, they will have to fight their way up from the back and break through the difficulties.

Originally, if SSR had beaten WE in the third-place round, they would have been in first place.

It's a pity that they lost.

Liu Zijian booked a big hotel very close to the competition venue in advance, and after getting off the plane, everyone moved in directly, and the official provided them with a training venue for the past few days.

There are five of them, and the adaptability is still very strong.

In the past, when I played the Internet café league, I could play in any shabby black Internet café, as long as I had a computer, a mouse, and a keyboard.

The members of the SSR team train as usual during the day and move freely at night, wandering around the city by the way.

......

On August 26, the opening ceremony of the 5th anniversary began.

The opening session was a highly ornamental dance and singing performance, with actors dressed in cosplay costumes about League of Legends heroes, Ahri, policewoman, Ash, EZ, Galen, etc., dancing enthusiastically and wantonly on the stage, which caused a large number of cheers from the audience.

Under the introduction of the host, ten members of RNG and EDG took the stage, and suddenly the audience erupted into more enthusiastic shouts, like a wave and tsunami.

Lin Han sat in the venue of the scene, feeling the colorful lights shining from the ceiling, misty and illusory, and in the midst of the loud voices, he looked at the crowd around him.

Unconsciously, I shook my head.

A few hours later, the match ended with EDG winning 3:0 against RNG.

It's business as usual.

......

On the last night before the competition, Lin Han wandered aimlessly around the city alone after dinner.

The weather is very good these days, the weather is sunny and the temperature is moderate during the day, and at night, there are many pedestrians who come out for a walk.

Walking to a square, there are aunts and uncles who come here for a walk, parents who push strollers and take their children out to play, couples and couples, groups of three or five, gather here, lights of various colors dot the surroundings of the square, a little noisy at the same time, and add a little more vitality to the night of the city.

But for Lin Han, he is like a bystander who is outside the matter, unable to integrate into such an atmosphere.

GZ and SH, two different cities, gave Lin Han an equally familiar strangeness.

After talking to Xiang Yuxuan that day, Lin Han went back and thought a lot.

Reborn in this era, he did change many things on his own, such as leading the team to the LPL to avoid the fate of disbandment, such as changing from an unknown bastard player to a domestic star who is admired by many audiences, and from a small anchor who is not well-known to suddenly become a big anchor on the live broadcast platform, whether it is money, fame or status, it has been greatly improved.

From an outsider's point of view, enough is enough.

But, is it really enough?

Every pro comes from all over the world, and although they speak different languages, there is always only one goal in sight: the World Champion.

Why did Faker burst into tears after losing to Samsung in the S7 Finals?

In the eyes of others, he is the big devil, the world's No. 1 midlaner, the triple crown winner of the S game, and the immortal legend of League of Legends.

Even if he loses, it won't affect his status in the slightest.

And you think, losing to Samsung, he is also the world runner-up, enough is enough.

But is it enough?

Some people may be proud of being the runner-up in the world, but for others, the runner-up is not even a consolation!

It's also a testament to the loser!

Cruel perhaps, but that's the truth.

This is true for everyone in the SSR.

Although each of them may have different reasons for standing here and continuing to fight, they all have only one purpose, and that is to continue to win, win, and win until the end.

Because they're professionals, they deserve to win.

Fighting hard in this arena, day in and day out, is all about winning.

Because they have a genuine love for esports, other than that, nothing else.

Lin Han let out a breath and thought a lot.

If he doesn't pass this level and can't make it to the World Championship, then what's the point of him being reborn and returning to this era?

Tired of walking, somewhere in the square, I found an empty wooden bench and sat down.

Close your eyes, lean back in your chair, and close your eyes.

After a while, the mobile phone prompt sounded, and Lin Han opened the phone to see that it was a button message sent by Mingluo.

Minluo: "Have you arrived at ZZ?" ”

Lin Han typed and replied: "I arrived two days ago." ”

Mingluo: "Where?" ”

Lin Han: "I don't know where it is, a square. ”

Minluo: "Which square?" ”

Lin Han thought back to the route and typed back to the message to tell her.

Mingluo: "Wait a minute. ”

......

About twenty minutes later, Mingluo arrived.

Under the flickering lights, Mingluo couldn't see his expression clearly.

Mingluo sat down next to him: "Come out for a walk?" ”

"Well, just walk around and think about something by the way." Lin Han told her.

Mingluo paused: "Tomorrow...... How's the preparation going? ”

"I don't know, there's no bottom." Lin Han told her the truth.

Mingluo was silent for a while: "Actually, I think you have a good chance, I played Snake in the playoffs before, defeated them 3:1, and won the regular season, so don't put too much pressure." ”

Lin Han shook his head: "In the game, no one can say the result." ”

Mingluo was silent, unable to refute.

On the field, there are all kinds of uncertainties, not to mention two teams that are not much different, even if there is a huge difference in strength, there may be an upset.

In practice, it's not uncommon.

What's more, the recent form of their team......

Lin Han chuckled, "And...... Even if you win the Snake team, there is still WE...... There are mountains in front of me, how can I cross them? ”
