In the second week, when the members of the ES.M club took care of the trivial matters at home one after another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lee Sang-hyuk entrusted the South Korean immigration administration department to help several people in the team, including him, apply for passports in turn.

In fact, there are about ten days left before this MSI Intensive Invitational Tournament, and the reason why Lee Sang-hyuk decided to go over with his teammates so early is because he took into account the time difference between the eastern and western hemispheres and many other factors, and wanted his teammates to go over as soon as possible to get used to it.

Otherwise, once this kind of thing breaks out before or between the games, it will undoubtedly become a very headache.

On this point, Madlife and Lee Sang-hyuk, who are also experienced in competitions, share the same opinion.

So after a brief internal discussion, as soon as the passport arrived, Lee Sang-hyuk led a group of four people in the team to Riot-Korea to report and let them start arranging the trip to the United States for the competition.

......

The day before the schedule was confirmed, SBS TV, the organizer of the OGN Spring Tournament, gave a short pre-race VCR to several people in the ES.M club.

Ask them to talk about how they felt about their trip to MSI, if they have any small goals or something.

At the end of the event, SBS TV also called for a grand press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel, one of Seoul's landmarks.

Many celebrities in the entertainment industry attended the event, and fans gathered around the hotel, which can be said to be a full momentum for ES.M to participate in MSI before the game.

But correspondingly, except for Lee Sang-hyuk and Madlife, two old players, feel okay.

The three of Dopa, Choi Hyun Wook, and Uzi all felt a little bit of pressure after this kind of reception, which was burdened with the expectations of countless people.

......

But if you want to succeed in this world, there is nothing that is stress-free.

Sometimes proper pressure is not necessarily a bad thing, so Lee Sang-hyuk didn't pay too much attention to what to adjust in his eyes.

After all, on the road to becoming truly the world's best player, this kind of pre-tournament pressure must be overcome by the players themselves.

Otherwise, even if the strength of the players has reached the world's first-class level, they will never reach the height of the world's top players.

It's like some players and teams who may be very aggressive in their own region, but when it comes to the World Series, they hold back. If it's the first time, it may be explained by the fact that you don't have any experience in competitions, but if it's like that a few times in a row.

That only shows that such a player, in essence, cannot become a "big competition" player and does not have the qualifications to reach the top.

......

In the arena of the Donald-L. Tucker-Civic-Center of the State University, Florida, USA.

According to the rules of the competition, although the competitors can come to the competition city to adapt to the water and soil environment, the competition venue can only be opened to the competitors one week before the competition.

So when Lee Sang-hyuk and the other four ES.M arrived the day before the venue opened, they found that the teams in the LMS and LPL divisions in the Eastern Hemisphere had also arrived in Florida in the United States about half a month ahead of schedule, taking into account the problems of water, soil and time difference.

It can be said that the participants in MSI this time are the champion teams of the spring competition in each major region.

It is a real collision between "king and king"!

.....

When he met EDG in the LPL division and AHQ in the LMS division in the stadium, Lee Sang-hyuk immediately walked up to greet them in Chinese with a smile, and Uzi on the side naturally followed with great interest.

Several players of the EDG team and the AHQ team were very surprised that Lee Sang-hyuk, a Korean, spoke Chinese so authentically. In the face of Lee Sang-hyuk's initiative to talk, they all came to talk with interest for a while, and Uzi also interjected two sentences from time to time.

As for Dopa and the others behind him, they were naturally confused, and Lee Sang-hyuk didn't want them to be embarrassed here, so he asked them to go around the venue first to familiarize themselves with the environment and competition facilities.

......

In this LPL division of the parallel world, there is no situation of "Korean aid everywhere" in the previous life.

On the contrary, LPL has the glory of WE dominating the world when S2, even if the Korean OGN division sprung up in S3, but there is no eternal king in the e-sports circle, it is always you who sing and we appear, so the LPL in this life is still a "sleeping lion" that should not be underestimated at this time, and no region dares to despise it casually.

And in this parallel world, the EDG team will naturally go to MSI this time with a lineup of five all-Chinese classes.

They are the top laner Korol, the jungler factory manager, the mid laner U God, AD Nami, the auxiliary Meiko and a substitute Ai Lori.

It is worth mentioning here that before this MSI Mid-Season Invitational, Riot officials also sorted out the five positions of the World Pro Player Rankings for the last time based on the performance of each player in the spring tournament of each major region.

And EDG is the team that dominates the jungler and ADC positions.

In other words, in this last [Official Ranking], the "world No. 1" in the two positions of jungler and AD are both belonging to the same EDG team.

However, this season, EDG is as fierce as a tiger, crushing all the way to the LPL Spring Finals with a winning record in the LPL region, and then taking away the team with a neat 3:0 to directly win the championship and MSI qualification. The momentum in the LPL is not much worse than that of ES.M.

Therefore, the last time Riot officially gave this [official ranking] with the support of sufficient game data, it is quite fair.

As for the other three positions in the [Official Ranking], the "No. 1 Top Single in the World" naturally gave this season's dazzling newcomer Lee Sang-hyuk in the OGN division;

"The world's No. 1 midlaner" is given to Bjergsen, who incarnated as the king of France this season, substituted TSM into the finals and successfully defended the championship, and entered MSI;

The last "No. 1 support in the world" was given to the veteran of the three dynasties of OGN, Madlife, who was reborn after joining ES.M this season.

In other words, in the official world ranking of players given by Riot before the mid-season match.

The LPL division "Shimono" dominates the list, and the OGN division "Shangfu" tops the list.

On the LCS side, the mid-laner position is outstanding.
