Just as domestic public opinion has been pushed to the top, the players of the M3C team have already embarked on a journey to Poland to participate in the IEM9 World Championship.

It was a baptism for them, a test from the world.

Although the IEM series is not as good as Riot's Series S World Finals, or even Riot's mid-season tournament, there is no doubt that it is an old event.

And it's also a world tournament that's authorized by Riot, so its gold content and honor should not be underestimated, and the prize money is also very generous.

Speaking of the origin of this IEM, we have to mention.

IEM, or Intel Extreme Masters, is the first elite esports tournament on a global scale.

In 2006, Intel Germany cooperated with ESL to create the IEM Extreme Masters, which began to implement a global competition based in Europe.

League of Legends tournaments were only added during the S2 season.

This competition is the time for the M3C team to prove themselves, and it is also the only way to maintain their competitive state, and the more interesting part is the IEM event, which no team has to participate in the LPL league.

In addition to the four teams that have a slot, the top three teams from last season will be invited from the four regions to join the event.

After the LPL league refused, the LMS league took the spot.

The final confirmed matches are the following eight teams.

The LPL league team is the M3C team, although many people are reluctant to admit that the M3C team represents the LPL region, but there is only such a team in the LPL league, so they can only acquiesce.

In the Korean LCK League, Team CJ and Team GE are both well-known teams, while Team GE may sound unfamiliar, but as long as you say another name, you may suddenly understand.

This GE team is the Huya team, at the beginning of this season, the Korean league started relatively early, and he had a good ranking last season, so he invited it.

This season, that is, the beginning of the S5 Spring Tournament, Huya's performance is excellent, and it has won consecutive wins in the Korean region, which can be said to be the favorite to win the IEM Cup.

The LMS league is the Lightning Wolves participating in this cup, the European and American LCS leagues are participated by SK team and GMB team, and the North American LCS league is participated by C9 team and TSM team.

A total of eight teams.

Official professional commentators have already commented on the eight teams, with M3C being the least rated, and they have little hope of winning the championship.

The LPL League Spring Tournament started too late, resulting in a dense schedule, so that no one was willing to give up the league to participate in this cup.

It just so happened that the M3C team was banned from the collective spring tournament, and with this participation spot, it was the opportunity to join the competition for this world-class competition.

However, many people think that this M3C team is an experience baby who will be brushed down after playing a few games.

This is also thanks to the start time of the LPL League, because other teams can't collect more information about M3C teams, just for a spring game, there is too little information that can be obtained in a game, and even if it wins, the reliability index is still not high.

As a result, the M3C team naturally became the team with the lowest probability of winning the championship in this IEM9 event.

The other teams have done well this season, even the teams that have a spot have finished third or higher in the league.

And the M3C team is a wonder.

He is the only team with the lowest ranking, and due to the ban, their score is temporarily marked as 0, which means that they do not have a league position.

By the time IEM starts, the LPL league has almost finished the second round of the game, and the M3C team doesn't have to think about it, they are banned for three games, and whoever they face is automatically abstained, and the opponent directly wins three points.

After playing the IEM Cup and returning to China, it is estimated that they have already reached the fourth round of the game.

The league points should be at the bottom.

When they went to Poland for this trip, they went early, because they had to adapt to the jet lag and diet, and they set off a week early, almost on the third day of getting the ban notice.

The other teams have one more league game to play, and they arrive in Poland almost a few days before the IEM Cup kicks off.

So at this point, the M3C team has the advantage.

But it's not that much of an advantage, some of the local teams have a bigger advantage, and they can play 120% at home, and they are quite sad.

There is really only a limit to the amount of money that a team can afford to play in.

The plane tickets are paid for by the WGC team, but the food and beverage costs are all paid by the players themselves, because they don't want the M3C team to participate in this event.

There are many reasons for this, the first of which is the probability of winning the championship.

If the probability of winning the championship is a little higher, you participate, and the senior management of the first team is also happy, but with the current M3C team, where can the probability of winning the championship be higher?

Even if the M3C team defeats the Protoss team, it's just a game, how much does that mean?

Foreign countries are not optimistic, and domestic countries are also not optimistic about the M3C team.

It's good for the club to give them a lot of money to pay for their plane tickets, but it would hurt if they scraped together a little more money to pay for their food.

In fact, they also considered whether to participate in this IEM Cup.

But the schedule was there, and they had to abandon the two league games in the middle of the game, and compared the stakes, they still chose the league.

The league results are good, and you can absorb a lot of fans, and then as long as you dress up the professional players beautifully, give them a script to shoot a MV moderately, wash the positive image, and then do public relations, sometimes a little more excessively, ask some water armies to add a little more momentum.

All of a sudden, you can earn a lot of potential benefits.

Fans are one of the keys, and the most important core interest of a team is fans.

It is true that some people regard dreams as the goal to pursue, but more people use dreams as a fig leaf, decorating themselves, and decorating a hypocritical person.

What is their purpose?

It's nothing more than money, fame.

Don't look at this one team with red heads, each swearing badly, I want to win the championship! I have a dream! I must win glory for the country or something!

The players may have this idea, but the club certainly doesn't have it.

Why would anyone want to invest money in the development of the club?

You think they're good people? Do you really want to contribute to esports?

No profit can not be early, they are for this benefit!

Because they're going to make money on esports!

E-sports is a big cake, a big cake that no one has discovered, and the top management of each club is the person who eats these cakes, and the higher the status, the more points.

And the league record is the basis for ensuring that they share the big cake.

Once a player or team mixes up in the league and has a fan base, the club's top management will never hesitate to use these things to start making a lot of money.

In the eyes of the club, players and coaches are just tools for them to make money.

Dreams are also just a fig leaf for them.

These players and coaches who are throwing their heads and spilling blood under the club are just a few small employees, once they make the top management unhappy, not to mention that you want to continue to play, they will not even give you the opportunity to play professionally, and they will completely ban you, and see which team is willing to accept you!

There are things in this, and the players and coaches are afraid to go in and wrestle their wrists.

Because there's so much involved
