Chapter 116: Hitting the Playoffs

And this time, the properties received by several team members are not very close to each other, unlike those who speculate outside, it is better to have more space separately, and the four members of the WT team are also very satisfied with this, after all, these houses are not necessarily where they will live, although the relationship between them is good, but there is no need to live together completely.

These five days of rest are very precious, but Lan Yu did not rest, several other teammates have taken vacations, he is soaked in the club's training base every day to discuss tactics with Hua Fei and others, as well as watch the second team simulate the lineup of the IG team, and from time to time put forward a little bit of his own opinions and understanding on the side, which also benefited the second team a lot.

The WT team and the IG team played a total of two rounds and four games, and the WT team won with a total score of 3 to 1, but even so, they still dare not take it lightly, because this team is very special, it is considered to be the oldest strong team with the most complete lineup since the S2 era, the middle singles and ADC in the team are all veteran players, only the top single and auxiliary chose to retire, and the two who retired were once one of the top players in China in their respective positions.

The WT team knows that the IG team has inherited too much experience and wisdom, and the more important games like the playoffs, the more they can show their true strength, and Lan Yu is constantly denying his own tactics, trying to find out the real weaknesses of the IG team as much as possible.

At the earliest, their top laner was a weakness, because they came from South Korea, communication was inconvenient and communication was not smooth, and in the current version, almost all the team's top laners were teleported, and teammates would teleport in seconds with a word, but there was a problem with communication with Korean players, and it was difficult to cooperate with them in the first time.

It's much better now, except for the IG team's ban when they need their mid-laner to come and ban, the basic communication is not too much of a problem, and the Korean top laner is gradually finding his senses and performing better and better in the game.

At the end of the short vacation, Chen Chuxiao and the other four also returned to the club, and it still feels a little strange that there is no training for a few days, but because of all kinds of things, it is also fulfilling, and everyone will call or send messages and other communications every night, and occasionally double row before going to bed to maintain the feeling.

The WT team is now too haloous, and the action led by them to improve the treatment of professional players and optimize the living environment of esports players has made great progress, and the league has begun to issue an ultimatum to various small and medium-sized clubs, requiring them to rectify the club's professional and semi-professional players within the specified time, including the backup of contracts and salary standards, all submitted to the league for the record.

And now all professional teams are subject to the restrictions of the league, including no unauthorized transfers, passive boycotts, unauthorized departures, etc., there are corresponding punishment regulations, these regulations are to protect the rights and interests of the club from damage, to do this big action is to do two-way constraints, as the saying goes, there are no rules, only by first incorporating all teams into a rule range, in order to improve the whole in the simplest way, the league has been working in this direction over the years.

Now that the results have finally been achieved, the league is also grateful for the support shown by the WT team and other strong teams and clubs this time, and now there are small and medium-sized clubs reporting the staffing and salary documents within the club every day, and there are many high-scoring players who are ready to try to enter the professional league through the league's new "draft" module to sign up for the professional team.

This module is also a new idea, in the past, the team selection was generally in the game advertising recruitment or in the second team and the secondary league to find, this way of looking is too limited, with the current "draft" module, when some players who aspire to be professional players can sign up here after meeting the hard conditions, and then the league's teams and clubs can communicate on their own, players also have more choices, clubs and teams are also convenient, a win-win measure.

At present, it is also trying to operate, but the effect is not bad, many clubs with insufficient qualifications have chosen not to continue to operate, and some players with good strength have also left those clubs with irregular salary contracts to try their luck in the "draft" module.

In short, in the week after the regular season, the domestic esports environment has changed by leaps and bounds, and the leading clubs have also received countless praises and abuse, but no one cares.

Lan Yu finally felt that his wish had come true, and since he really decided that he wanted to devote himself to this career, he has been thinking about how to improve the e-sports environment as much as possible, not expecting the attention of the whole people like South Korea, but at least starting with the survival of professional players.

In the last two days of the week, Lan Yu was not obsessed with tactical play, and trained separately according to Chen Chuxiao's customized training tasks, while Lan Yu was busy dealing with some interviews or communication matters on the alliance side, and Ye Qing couldn't make decisions on many things, and he had to make decisions on behalf of the team.

In fact, the time to officially prepare for the playoff rankings is actually only one week, and the WT team basically spent the week in the training match, not only playing with the second team, but even making an appointment with the EDG team that unfortunately failed to enter the top four by one point, of course, the WT team did not expose too deep things, and the training match with the EDG team also ended in failure, but it confirmed a lot of things in Lan Yu's heart.

Before the playoffs arrived, the WT team still had a lot of training tasks to complete, and now through H City TV, these five boys and girls have been remembered by many people who don't even know what e-sports is, and they initially watched the documentary only to focus on the five teenagers in the city who embarked on the road of "playing games" as a career, with the end of the first season of the documentary, the picture of Lan Yu and others often training hard until late at night is also remembered by more and more people.

Under the not-so-bright light, the five boys and girls stared at the screen with serious expressions, the left hand keyboard and the right hand mouse moved rapidly, and the young people's faces under the light and shadow had a particularly distressing temperament, so much so that the WT club actually received a joint complaint, complaining that the club ignored the players' bodies and did not force them to rest on time.

Although the players of the WT team also get up very early in the morning, it is really hard, but this complaint still makes it difficult for them to deal with, and in the end, it is the person in charge of the club - Lan Yu's mother personally came forward to modify the club's training time, and the training time of the first and second teams of the WT team shall not exceed half past eleven in the evening (except for special circumstances), which calms the emotions of those who care about these teenagers.

Although it is a very nonsensical vignette, it can also see what kind of influence the WT team has reached in the local area.

Therefore, the ranking battle of the playoffs has also attracted more people's attention, almost every day fans come to the club to condole, fans are not noisy and quarrelsome, the club itself is open to the public - in addition to the player training room, they usually come to see the back of Lan Yu and others training, and then silently leave some small gifts, such as chocolates or drinks and other snacks, or buy some peripherals in the club.

These have become the motivation for the WT team to struggle, and occasionally Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan will come out to sit outside in the spacious lounge and chat, talking about the interesting things that happened in the professional game, after all, the two are girls, their minds are more delicate, and they also like to stay with these warm fans.

These pictures have been captured by the e-sports media that have been lingering in WT clubs recently, and when the news came out, many people felt the cohesion of the WT team now.

A week has passed quickly, and the next thing for the WT team to impact is the top two in the spring playoffs, as long as they get the top two, they will be able to qualify for the China Regional Qualifiers for the World Finals, and they will have the opportunity to go abroad and win glory for the country on the world stage.

The LOL Professional League E-sports Stadium in T City, J Province, is still this location, and it is not anyone's home stadium, but every team can feel the atmosphere of the home stadium when they come here, because the tickets of each fan are very evenly distributed, and many neutral fans are supporters of each team, and the atmosphere on the scene can always maintain a warm and passionate atmosphere.

The e-sports hall of the professional league was expanded last year, and now it can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators, but it is still far different from the scale of the e-sports hall in H city, which was originally to build an indoor formal football stadium, but then gave it up because of the development of e-sports, and the audience that the venue can accommodate is also the first of all e-sports stadiums in China, and now it is reported that the e-sports division of H city is talking about cooperation with the official, with the aim of obtaining the qualification of the host of the World Finals in China in the second half of this year. Moreover, it is said that the progress of the negotiations is very good, and it is almost at the stage of inspection.

So the WT team feels that the mission on their shoulders is heavier, and they also arrived in T City a day in advance, everyone relaxes and wanders around to prepare for the game, of course, most of the time is still in the hotel to study videos and tactics, recently Lan Yu's tactical thinking has changed, with the update of the version, the appearance rate of tank jungler heroes has also increased, and the tank heroes' early wandering ability is average, such as jungler Mondo, wine barrel, Zhuang Senni, Zack, etc., the rhythm ability is far less than the blind monk spider clown.

But every version change will bring certain changes in the tactical system, the professional team is in the United States in advance, and then return to the national server to train, and finally take it to the professional field to show, Lan Yu has no time to experience in the United States in advance, but he has a friend relationship between the TSM team and the C9 team, and he also humbly asked a lot of advice through email, including the changes in the tactical system of the American server after a period of version update and the win rate of jungler heroes, etc.

Hai, the captain of the C9 team, and the assistant known as the Lemon Country are both tacticians, responsible for the tactical design and development of the C9 team and the command on the spot, Lan Yu is responsible for these two responsibilities alone, and there are many common languages between each other, in addition to the improvement in tactics, Lan Yu feels that the biggest gain is that his English level has really improved a lot, and now he can communicate proficiently without translating some words online.

The team went to the city for dinner together the night before the game, bringing all the staff who arrived together, and the club's bus would also send the die-hard fans who came over in advance to the city, and then send them back safely, the WT team was separated in the city, Yuan Xiaoye and Yan Xue didn't know where to go to sweet, Mu Huan also took Wang Yan to visit the night market, Lan Yu and Chen Chuxiao returned to the arranged hotel early to snuggle up and watch the video together.

The phone rang, Lan Yu picked it up casually, and after listening to a sentence, his face suddenly changed drastically, and his body trembled uncontrollably strongly, Chen Chuxiao, who was snuggled next to him, immediately noticed that something was wrong, stood up and looked at Lan Yu nervously.

"Wood...... and Sister Yanyan, there was a car accident. Lan Yu said in a trembling voice.
