[Section 27 The Glory of the Past]
Liang Chen never thought that he would go abroad because of playing games. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When he was just an ignorant teenager, he promised Luo Bingyu that he would accompany her to travel all over the world, but as he grew up, Liang Chen realized how naΓ―ve and ridiculous it was to make this promise at the beginning, because he probably knew that he was old and died in this life, and he didn't have the opportunity to go abroad, not even China, let alone the world?
I used to think about going to IEM, and all I thought about was playing games and competitions, until I stepped on an international flight with the team, and he suddenly realized: Nima, Lao Tzu is going abroad!
From a small village to a big city, and then to going abroad, Liang Chen, who can almost be called a triple jump a year, has not had time to be happy and proud for a long time, and found that things are far from being as beautiful as he imagined.
Aren't many Chinese people subconsciously thinking that going abroad is a very good thing? Then it should be good abroad, right?
So why is this foreign country different from the imaginary foreign country?
Poland is one of the poorer countries in Europe, and Katowice is known as the "coal capital", its coal mines occupy an exaggerated 98% of the country's coal mines, and it is an industrial city!
Not to mention that compared with the international metropolis of Shanghai, Liang Chen feels that compared with Xiaocheng, the county seat of his hometown, it is five or five open.
As for playing or anything, Katowice, which was only a small village in the mid-nineteenth century, has nothing worth seeing, and as a Chinese who came out of China, one of the four ancient civilizations with a history of 5,000 years, Liang Chen feels that he still has a vision...... Well, in fact, the most important thing is that Du Ting does not allow the players to go out, otherwise there is nothing to do in this small broken city, and it is not bad to enjoy the exotic scenery casually, otherwise it will be a waste of air tickets!
On the one hand, they have to adjust the time difference, and on the other hand, they have to tense the run-in lineup, and they don't have enough time.
Liang Chen and the others spent their first trip abroad in the hotel, playing training matches with the LPL team, testing the lineup and running in the team's tacit understanding.
A few days passed quickly, and the schedule for the IEM finals was soon announced.
The IEM finals are a double-elimination group system, divided into two groups of AB, each group has four teams, the first round of the group stage is drawn by two pairs, the winner of the first round enters the winner's group, the loser enters the loser's group, the winner of the winner's group directly qualifies, the loser of the winner's group faces the winner of the loser's group, and then the winner qualifies.
The Starlight team was divided into Group A, and the four teams in the group are: ATM, a veteran North American powerhouse known as the "North American Cult", OG, which ranked third in the European division, and the South Korean ESC team that beat the Chinese BN team on the IEM clone station to reach the top!
Whether it is from the perspective of strength on paper, season performance, or positioning in the minds of players at home and abroad, the Starlight team is undoubtedly the weakest one.
The results of the first round of the group stage draw came out, and many die-hard fans of the domestic starlight team felt cool and cool.
Korean ESC team!
Regardless of whether the name of this team is recognized or not, many people just need to see the Korean team, anyway, as long as it is the Korean team, it is one word: strong!
As the strongest region in the world, almost all the teams that can represent the LCK region in the World Championship are the number one rivals in the eyes of other non-Korean regions in the world.
South Korea also had two teams in the IEM finals this year, one was the ESC team that topped the IEM Cologne station, and the other was the Tiger team that did not taste defeat in the LCK region this year.
The first round of the group stage is played at 7 o'clock in the evening in China, and it is Friday, so even if the IEM live broadcast website is a bit pitted, there are still many fans who have found the live broadcast URL early, squatted and waited for the Starlight team to play, and then started various barrage discussions...... Of course, whenever there is a professional league, there are trolls on the barrage, and I don't know who is worried that the barrage is too cold and the hired water army, or if there are really so many trolls in the national uniform.
Domestic teams, commentators, fans of the Starlight team, and simple LOL players are all paying attention to this game, after all, IEM is the only world LOL game outside of the official mid-season invitational tournament and S series, and there are still gimmicks.
Wang Chong and the others, regardless of whether they were fans of the Starlight Clan, were already there anyway, and after eating dinner early, they stayed in front of the dormitory computer and found the live broadcast URL and waited, and many dormitories next door were also like this...... Even in the whole of China, such a scene is happening in many universities at this time.
The Starlight team, which rose three years ago, entered the LPL as a dark horse, won the spring championship of that year, and went to the S series with the royal team in the same year. Later, in the quarterfinals, he was defeated by Xiao Feng Wayne and ended his first World Series journey.
The year before last, the Starlight team, the Storm team, and the royal team, once again represented the Chinese LPL in the S series, and the early stage of the group stage was poor, and fell into the brink of elimination, and faced off against the King of Europe F team in the most critical game related to whether it could appear, 87 Seven minutes of epic battle, first in the base crystal only 50 drops of blood left in a basic attack can ignite the last hope of the situation, and then in the end, all the heroes of all the six gods of the lineup are obviously defeated, Gogo Ruiz's god-level circle opened the group and knocked out the core ADC big mouth of the opposite four Bao Yi in seconds, and finally won the final victory of the competition that was judged by the official Riot judges of the year.
The game that night made the three commentators lose control of their emotions several times, made the female commentator Xiaomi cry silently, and also made many players at home and abroad remember the flying praying mantis of Ruiz forever.
After qualifying, the Starlight team faced the JSW team that eliminated the RST team in the domestic qualifiers, and was jokingly ridiculed by all players at home and abroad before the game, "Anyway, 3:0 I can go on and I can do it", and the well-known Korean commentator even publicly said that there will be no fourth game in the quarterfinals of this BO5, and China will be swept 3:0.
As a result, the Starlight Sentai team killed JSW 3:0!
When the Starlight team swept JSW to advance to the semifinals with a clean sheet, most of the Koreans chanted "Starlight" in unison, which made many players who watched the game at the time still feel enthusiastic and excited even if they just recalled it.
Although Starlight lost to Xiao Feng's royal team again in the semifinals, this team has never lost anyone in the LPL in all the world competitions it has participated in.
Now the veterans who played the LPL at the World Championship have retired, and the Starlight team is still wearing the "Starlight" logo, still wearing the bright starry sky with a dark black background, but there are five rookie players who have never played in the World Series, one of whom has just joined the team and has not played any professional games.
Can this young and immature starlight team continue to stand out and defend the glory and dignity of the LPL?
Su Bingning also stayed in the living room, called up the live broadcast interface in the smart TV, opened her eyes wide and tried hard to find Liang Chen's figure in the live broadcast screen, although Cousin Jiang was not interested in the LOL competition, but she was still very interested in her future brother-in-law, so she sat on the sofa with Su Bingning, eating a fruit plate and sipping melon seeds, while waiting for the game to start.
"Okay, now the game is finally going to start and the players on both sides are preparing. Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the Starlight team, after Chen Mubing, the first in the national server, joined the Starlight team, there was no start in the LPL spring game a week ago, and today we can see that Chen Mubing finally started, after Chen Mubing joined, how was the run-in with the team, and we can see the ...... right away in the next match against South Korea's ESC."
In Beijing's Xishan Villa, the four girls who moved back from their respective homes after the year sat next to each other in the downstairs living room to watch the live broadcast.
Xiaoxue asked Zi'er with a lollipop in her mouth, "Can Liang Chen win?" β
Zi'er, who had changed a hardcover copy of the Book of Songs, said without replying: "I don't know how to play this game, ask me what I'm doing?" β
"Don't look at me, I don't understand." Xiao Yu, who was sitting on the other side, saw the curious baby turn her head, and without waiting for her to speak, she said a word first, and then continued to lower her head and wipe her fingernails.
Xiaoxue wrinkled her nose, so she had to ask Luo Bingyu, who was looking at Liang Chen in the live broadcast interface without blinking: "Bing'er, what do you think?" β
Luo Bingyu ignored her words and just stared at the TV screen.
"Bing'er?"
"Bing'er?"
Xiaoxue called several times, Luo Bingyu just stared at Liang Chen on the TV screen, and didn't hear it at all, the little girl had to flatten her mouth, sit back honestly, roll her eyes and say, "Nymphomaniac!" β
Zi'er and Xiaoyu laughed at the same time.
Luo Bingyu suddenly turned her head, startled Xiaoxue, hurriedly leaned on Zi'er, and looked at Luo Bingyu vigilantly: "What do you want to do?" I'm telling the truth, who told you to just look at Liang Chen and ignore me......"
Luo Bingyu didn't leave her, and asked Zi'er next to her: "Zi'er, can you help me go over the wall and open the following live broadcast in Europe or the United States?" β
Zi'er said strangely: "Why? β
Because of their family background, several girls have been exposed to foreign languages since they were children, and they don't seem to have a hard time with the whole English live broadcast, but the domestic live broadcast is good, why did Bing'er suddenly jump to a foreign live broadcast?
Luo Bingyu looked at the two commentaries on the TV screen, lay down on the sofa, Bingqingyu's face was full of helplessness, and sighed softly: "These two commentaries are really ...... They explained that I couldn't stand it anymore. β
The other three girls immediately laughed wildly, and Xiaoxue accidentally spit out the lollipop in her mouth, rolling in Zi'er's arms and laughing.
"Hahaha, Bing'er, you're so cute...... Although I don't like these two explanations that came out of nowhere, they are not as exaggerated as you, are they? Hee-hee-ha-haha......"
It's evening at home, but it's afternoon in Katowice.
When Luo Bingyu asked Zi'er to go over the wall and transfer to a foreign live broadcast website, Liang Chen and their side finally started the first game of IEM and entered the selection stage. (To be continued.) )
