At the end of the club's two-day break, things are starting to get back on track.

SSR's players returned to their daily training routines in preparation for the upcoming LPL Summer Tournament.

That night, the coaching staff gathered five players for a formal meeting.

The main content is a summary of the continental races and a general discussion of the direction of the subsequent summer races.

"In this Asian match, our team played a total of five games."

Coach Zhou took the information and concluded: "There are two games in the group stage, one against JT and one against SSG; There were two semi-finals, one against M17, one against AHQ, and the last match in the finals, against KT. ”

"Five games, all wins!"

After speaking, the conference room erupted in warm applause, and all the staff cheered and shouted!

Oh!!!!!!!!!!!

"That's a really impressive record!"

Li Zhengyu applauded and said with a smile: "Really, it's much stronger than what I expected from you before the game!" ”

In the face of weaker teams, it is very easy to win the game, such as the game against M17, which was bulldozed by the opponent in 19 minutes, showing an absolute crushing trend, without any drag.

Opponents in the middle of the game, such as AHQ, play steadily all the way and smoothly defeat their opponents at their own pace.

Against the top teams, such as KT, even if they suffer from a big headwind, they can still be impatient, calmly think about finding opportunities, fight tenaciously to the end, and finally succeed in turning the tables.

In the game, the wonderful operations played by each team member and the strong competitive level shown made Li Zhengyu feel very satisfied.

The most important thing is that the cooperation of the whole team has reached an unprecedented level in his opinion.

Everyone in the team is full of tacit understanding, and as long as everyone performs their duties, they can be like a link, without the slightest mistake, and play the most perfect team effect.

It's all progress.

"Being able to play against teams from other regions in such a big international event is really helpful for our team." Lee said, "I have learned a lot of new things, including myself. ”

The team members nodded in agreement, and they thought so.

There will also be obvious differences in the overall tactical play between each division.

In the process of fighting with them, I also felt and learned some of the opponent's playing styles and characteristics, and I can also benefit from comparing the differences between myself and the opponent.

"And winning the championship this time also proves that the gap between the divisions is relatively close now."

Coach Zhou said excitedly: "Our LPL is not weaker than their LCK!" ”

Before the start of the continental competition, many people were very pessimistic, thinking that as in previous years, the teams in their own region would be beaten by the Korean team.

But in the final, he beat the opponent 3-0 in turn, and he was suddenly angry and happy!

Although it is not yet possible to inflate and say that the LPL has been able to fully crush the LCK, at least this proves that the gap between the two regions is not as big as imagined, and there is every chance to defeat them.

Winning the championship this time can be said to give everyone confidence and hope, which is the most important thing!

"Of course, we can't take it lightly now, the continental race is not our ultimate goal." Coach Zhou said, "Because the final assessment of us still depends on the S competition in October, right?" ”

"Yes."

Everyone nodded.

That's the main thing.

To be truly recognized by everyone, you have to prove it by winning the final S-Series.

Other competitions, if you really want to make an analogy, are at best equivalent to "monthly exams" and "high school exams".

As long as the S competition is the "final exam" in the real sense, it has the most gold content.

For them at the moment, the team's first goal is to make it to this year's Worlds.

"At the moment, our team's points situation is still very good."

Coach Zhou said: "We are the third runner-up in the spring competition, and now in the summer competition, we have won all 6-0 so far, and the points in the group stage are the first in Group A...... The overall situation is relatively optimistic. ”

There are a total of three World Championship places in the LPL.

According to the rules of selection, the champion of the LPL Summer Tournament directly enters the S tournament and becomes the No. 1 seed in the division.

Then there is the team with the highest combined points in the spring and summer, which is the second seed.

The final spot is determined through a regional selection competition, known as a bubble competition.

Last year, it was through this route that the team entered S6 as the No. 3 seed.

"Reasonable, we've got to upgrade this year, right?"

Hao Ren laughed twice: "I don't want to play the bubble competition again, I'm tired to death." ”

"yes, my heart can't stand it, it's a little hard to overcome." Han Xin rubbed his chest.

In last year's bubble game, they played that BO5 game of life and death with WE, and even now that they think about it, they still have palpitations.

"And you have to figure it out."

Lin Han clasped his hands to his chest and reminded: "If you are still the third seed this year, you will have to play more play-in tournaments, and you will be even more tired." ”

This is a new rule for Riot this year.

Unlike previous years, except for the LCK, the third seed in all other regions has to go through the play-in tournament and play against some other teams in the wild card region before the winner can enter the subsequent main draw.

In other words, even if you win the bubble game, you will not be able to enter the S game.

It's stricter than in previous years.

"That's right!"

Hao Ren suddenly said seriously: "I don't want to play so many games, I have to work hard!" ”

"Isn't that easy?" Qin Tianyu clapped his hands, "Our entire champion in the summer tournament will go directly to the No. 1 seed, so isn't that the end?" ”

"Makes sense, okay, then it's so happily decided, this summer, win the championship!"

Hahahahahahaha!

There was a burst of laughter!

"Don't swell."

Li Zhengyu was a little helpless when he saw everyone making such a fuss.

Now that the regular season is only a third of the way out, and even the playoff spots have not yet been decided, why are you starting to think about the summer championship?

Can it be so optimistic?

"Let's not go that far."

Lin Han smiled: "Let's set a small goal first, and keep the regular season as it is now, and strive to rush to the playoffs with the first points in the group stage, no problem, right?" ”

The crowd laughed.

"Of course, just one word, rush!"

......

Soon, the time came on July 15th.

This is the fifth week of the regular season for LPL2017 Summer Season.

At 14:00 p.m., SH's Super Brand Mall, the match between OMG and SSR is about to begin.

It was also SSR's first fight since returning from the continental tournament.
