Chapter 84: Las Vegas
"This is the Stratosphere Tower, it's really spectacular!"
Looking up at the entire tower, Kino sighed.
Las Vegas, USA.
The hotel where Yunjin and his party stayed is the building in front of them, and the Sky Hotel is also quite famous in the whole of Las Vegas.
Ten days after the game against the King team, the esports elite was invited to participate in the IPL year-end finals, and Yun Jin and others came to Las Vegas.
In the past ten days, Yun Jin and others played 5 league games and won 5 games. The King team also has five wins, and the esports elite is still one win behind King in the standings.
"Well, it's very impressive."
Yun Jin also nodded, Las Vegas is really a good place.
"Yunjin, you said that the coach is not here, should we go and have some fun." Mu Ye raised his eyebrows and said bewildermently: "It's my first time going abroad, and I've heard of the name of Las Vegas for a long time, so this time I came to see and learn." ”
"What? The bonus that has just been issued is ready to be thrown into the water? Yumeng struck.
"Small bet on pleasure, small bet on pleasure, hehe......"
"I'll go to the casino too, and I'll go with you when this game is over. If we can win the championship, I think Mr. Zhou will be happy to help us pay for such a fee. ”
Now that he has come to Las Vegas, Yunjin also wants to try his luck in the casino.
"It depends on your state, if you play well, I can win by lying down." Kino is very crisp.
"Then we have to take a good rest, try to adjust to the jet lag, and adjust our condition." Yunjin was the first to walk into the Sky Hotel.
International events are completely different from domestic ones. But you can't be careless.
The first is pressure from opponents. Each region has a different style, and there are opponents you've never faced before. There's a lineup you've never seen before.
The second is pressure from fans. International competitions have invisibly imposed an aura of glory for the country. You played well. That's fine. If you're not playing as well as you want, that's a good example, and Avril is not a good example.
If the esports elite is ranked seven or eight in the league, if they lose, they lose, and it's not a big deal. After all, it does not represent the highest level of LPL. But the e-sports elite is killing all sides in the league, and if it collapses here. If he was eliminated in the first round, the picture would be unimaginable.
Just when Yun Jin and the others were about to rest, Coach Lu Yu came back. As soon as he got off the plane, he was dragged by the tournament organizers to participate in the draw ceremony. Originally, Yunjin was going to go together. However, he was rejected by Yun Jin. He couldn't stand the flight all the way.
I feel sorry for Coach Lu Yu, who made the plane late?
"What happened to the draw?" Avril handed over a cup of tea, then asked.
"Not bad." Coach Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders and was very relaxed, "We were placed in Group A, and our opponents in the same group were CJ from South Korea, Fire from Russia, and Hoer from the Turkish League. ”
"There is only one strong opponent in CJ, and we will definitely have no problem qualifying, depending on whether we are in first place or second place."
Coach Lu Yu took a sip of tea. Quite complacent.,I'm very proud of the good lottery.。
Yun Jin pouted, IPL is the supremacy of strength, and it has nothing to do with luck.
The format of this year's IPL is the same as in previous editions. It's a double-lose. Even if you can't qualify from the group, you will only enter the lower bracket. As long as the strength is strong enough, it can also be fought back.
This format. Teams are allowed to make one mistake. You can even use this format to avoid teams that have a tactical style that restricts you.
In a word. IPL tournaments encourage the strong and also provide some opportunities for the underdog.
"After qualifying from the group. We will face the first and second places in Group D. If we finish first, we finish second in Group D. If we are to finish second in the group, we will have to face the top spot of D. ”
"If nothing else, the first and second places in D will be Bokk in the Italian league and Rand in the Spanish league."
Coach Lu Yu passed on the news he got to his players one by one.
"What group is Team USA's CouldN in?" Squinting his eyes, Yun Jin asked.
Since the U.S. won the world championship last year, the U.S. league has established itself as the world's No. 1 league. CouldN's performance in this tournament can be described as impressive, with a current record of 44 wins and 0 losses, sweeping the entire North American arena. They have won several races, and with the home advantage, there is no doubt that they are considered the favorites to win the championship.
The esports elite is also on the list, but in fourth place. There are also CJ Sentai and Assassination Star Sentai in front.
'They were in Group C and we won't meet them until the upper bracket final. Coach Lu Yu said.
Oh, that seems like a pretty good signing. Yun Jin smiled, although he believed in his own strength, he was also very willing to see it compared to the easier schedule.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. Since we were placed in Group A, we were honored to be the opening guests. ”
Coach Lu Yu's words made several people in the room wail. You know, the opening game starts tomorrow, and they have just arrived today, so there is no time to prepare. If it weren't for the coach, they would have gone to sleep.
"If I'm not mistaken, tomorrow's opponent is not weak, and it can only be Team CJ." Yun Jin said.
"Yes, CJ, who is in Group A with us, is not immune. The opening match was a strong conversation, and the tournament organisers wanted to use that to catch everyone's attention. After all, the leagues of various countries have entered a more critical moment, and if it is not a contest between two strong teams, it is unlikely to attract everyone's attention. ”
"But Team CJ was a little bit more prepared than we were, they arrived two days ago. It is said that they have played several training matches with local clubs. ”
Looking at Mu Ye and Yumeng, whose faces were dark, Lu Yu continued: "What, there is pressure? ”
Hearing the coach's words, Mu Ye was not convinced, and said loudly: "What is the pressure? But coach, you're under a lot of pressure, right? Have you heard your information, and how should you BP? ”
"Naturally, you don't need to worry about this, as early as the moment I was invited, I began to prepare the information of all the participating teams in the IPL." Coach Lu Yu is also quite confident.
"That's good, go back to your room and sleep." Yunjin clapped the board.
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
At the moment, the most important thing for them is to get enough sleep. (To be continued.) )
