This is how the anniversary celebration in Shenzhen came to an end.

In fact, everything was expected by Cheng Mu, and there was nothing to say.

For their pirate ship, the biggest significance is probably to go out into the limelight, take a photo, and appear on the cover of major e-sports magazines the next day.

But I have to say that Mu Dad is getting more and more temperamental now, and I don't know if he has a masculinity after becoming a man, or if the LPL champion and the world's No. 1 midlaner should have this temperament.

Anyway, Mu Dad is now in micro. The popularity of Bo and other aspects can almost compete with the second-tier top stars, which shows that Mu Da's popularity has reached a new height, and at the same time, it proves the popularity of League of Legends and e-sports events around the world?

League of Legends is popular, so an IEM8 tryout, which is relatively not a big event, still attracts the attention of all parties.

Yes, with the anniversary celebration falling to the end, all the teams participating in S3 have been confirmed, and the conversation in the esports circle revolves around the upcoming World Finals......

But after the news of this IEM8 selection spread, everyone regarded it as a condiment before the S3 finals.

Or it can be said to be a soaser for those who have not yet watched the playoffs and qualifiers.

After all, the participating members are basically the top teams in China...... Not to mention that the three S3 teams are there, even ig, we are not lacking in these veteran universe teams!

It's just that S3 is coming, and the iem8 event is a bit rushed...... Just three days later, the seven teams went to Shanghai again.

The Corsair is certainly among them. But compared to the other teams, they seem to be a little bit of a waiter, after all, they have a first-round bye. Straight from the semi-finals, which are the semi-finals.

Well, Thursday noon. Shanghai Vanke E-sports Center......

There are still crowds, and audiences from all walks of life are already ready.

The qualifiers of iem8 are not comparable to the anniversary celebration and the playoffs, and in order to rush the time, the official adopts the main stage and the secondary stage to carry out two modes, which is quite WCG.

In the case of the BO3 single-elimination system, it only takes one and a half days for seven teams to determine the final winner.

Even the pirate ships, which were waiting for leisure, had to be put on the afternoon of the first day. Go face the winner after the first fight, IG.

That's right, it's still a familiar opponent...... In fact, the seven teams in the iem8 qualifiers are all civil wars in the LPL, and a team like Corsair, whose strength is obviously one level higher than others, is like a roadblock, and other teams don't want to touch it in the draw at all.

It's a pity that the dog's son was not lucky, not only did he meet the strongest pirate ship, but he was easily swept out of the house by the pirate ship with a 2-0 victory, which also made the dog's son sigh bad luck. Ill-fated.

Pirate Ship fans are still excited, as that means their Pirate Ship has a good chance of winning another championship...... Even if it's just the division winner, it's a champion, and most importantly, next year, the grass grows and the warbler flies in March. Once again, they'll be able to see the pirate ship on its way to Poland!

Corsair never fails to disappoint fans.

Even the most terrible playoff finals were won after five rounds of hard fighting.

So this time with IEM8, Corsair is inevitable. There is no room for error!

This IEM8 is actually a big upset.

Following the elimination of IG in the semifinals of Corsair. We turned out to be up to eliminate OMG, and at the same time that the king strawberry weapon stealing became a good story. The name of the rune god of war Aunt Yin was also extremely loud for a while.

However it's like a sticker. Bar is not ashamed of the hardcore fans of the pirate ship.

Whoever makes it to the final is actually the same, they are all here to level up the pirate ship......

In fact, it is exactly what it is.

After experiencing that difficult life and death BO5, the strength of the pirate ship may not have changed much, but the mentality and morale have obviously improved by a full level.

IEM8, although it is known as a strong gathering, but when the final result came out, when the Corsair still lifted the championship trophy of the sub-station and got the pass to Poland, everyone also sighed...... In this reigning dynasty of the Corsairs, the rest of the warbands are destined to be a tragedy.

Of course, it is precisely because of this pre-S episode that everyone has more confidence in Corsair's results in the S race.

It's just that according to the competition system, they have to wait until the end of the group stage and the quarterfinals are all decided before they can have a game, which also makes some anxious spectators depressed.

The good news is that Royale and OMG are in two separate groups, and they take turns against teams from all over the world every day...... This is better than nothing in the case that the pirate ship does not have a competition, after all, it can also see if the strength of the LPL region can abuse Wanwan and Europe and the United States.

As for the Korean OGN, which occupies almost four of the top five places in the current Riot Global Team Rankings, even if the royal family and OMG can't beat it, there is still a pirate ship staying there!

Well, IEM8 is also the end of it.

The dog son may still be happy because they have another chance to compete with CJF for a spot in Singapore......

But for Corsair and OMG and the royal family, everything is over at home now, and basically, it's all left for the weekend group planes to go abroad.

According to Riot's regulations, the five players plus the coaching staff and a substitute can all travel at "public expense", as long as they arrive in Los Angeles, USA, all food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included......

So of course, Brother Xiao Cui, Sister Yueyue and Xiao Hongdou and others can all come to a "public-funded tour".

This made Xiao Hongdou, who had never been abroad, excited, and was happy directly in the base for a long time.

But in fact, don't say it's Xiao Hongdou, it's Brother Qi Cheng Mu's entire pirate ship team, except for Sister Yueyue and Brother Xiao Cui. There is no one who has ever had the experience of going abroad!

Fortunately, their visas and passports and other things have been applied for by Sister Yueyue a month ago, and they only need to find a flight to Los Angeles at that time......

Just like Sister Yueyue said. When you get on the plane, you just have to sleep with your eyes closed, and you will directly cross the Pacific Ocean. When I arrived in the United States, I stayed with the team every day, and there were team leaders and translators in the team, as well as the person in charge of the ROIT company, so they didn't have to worry too much about it at all.

After arriving in Los Angeles, they may only have time to rest and play for the first two days, and when all the teams from other regions arrive on the third day, they will definitely ask them to do some training matches and other things, and they will start to get busy again, just like they are at the base now.

Of course. S3 lasts about twenty days in total, and if they make it all the way to the finals, they'll definitely have to spend at least 20 days in the U.S.

During this time, they had to follow the local customs.

Not to mention that the hanbok can't be played by an agent, even if it's a national server, it is estimated that it will also pass the king's protection period because it is not on the number for 20 days, and it will fall to 1-75 points in the drill!

It's nothing to drop the level, the six people of the pirate ship will hit you in pairs and doubles to hit the king in minutes, but the key to the problem is. During these 20 days, they can only stay in the US server and play the US account provided to them by the ROIT company!

Cheng Mu also smiled bitterly.

When I was playing professionally, I had a dream of reaching the top of the American service, Hanbok, and national service, but later my career was too busy. These original intentions have long been temporarily shelved by him, and even the first hanbok was never thought about after a whim......

But who would have thought that now he was given a chance to go to the first place in the United States.

The same. After learning about these news, the eyes of the three hundred yuan and the little red bean, Bi Chaoshen and others lit up. I have great expectations for the American service in the birthplace of the game......

They have even begun to bet on the king to see who will come first to serve the king. This also makes Cheng Mu feel distressed for those big-breasted brothers in American clothes, after all, in terms of the quality of server masters, Hanbok is greater than the national service and greater than the European service, and then the Taiwanese service and the American service......

Not to mention the six pirate ships of the double kings of the national costume and Hanbok, they are the other players who participated in the finals team, and they can reach the king in the United States in ten days......

But things like training matches, eating and sleeping habits, and ranking servers are all small things.

Cheng Mu and the others knew very clearly that they would set off for Los Angeles tomorrow, and they had only one goal...... The champion of the World Finals, the Finals trophy that symbolizes the highest honor of the Summoner, and the five champion skins that will be tailored for them!

When it comes to champion skins, everyone is also enthusiastic.

League of Legends, who have been playing for too long, has also used hero skins too many times, and they naturally understand how domineering and sour it is to have a tailor-made champion skin......

It stands to reason that their current ranking on the roit team rankings, as well as the LPL championship, and even the final results on S3, may be lost in the long river of history over time.

But obviously, once they win the championship, their Pirate Ship team will use the championship skin to imprint the name of their legendary team into the game League of Legends!

The game is immortal, and the skin is constant.

The skin is there, and the pirate ship will always be remembered by everyone.

So, even for that skin, in order for players all over the world to use the skin named after the Chinese team, their pirate ship will definitely come back with glory and championship this time!

It's late at night.

It was the last night of the entire S3, Corsair in the country.

Tomorrow afternoon they have to leave for Los Angeles to fight for the glory of the LPL in a completely unfamiliar place.

No one can sleep.

Everyone seemed to come out of the bedroom in unison, and all came to the courtyard of the base to cool off.

The leaves were blown by the evening wind, Qi Ge and Bi Chaoshen lit a cigarette, and Cheng Mu crossed his legs and looked at the slightly clear starry sky.

"It should be above the Pacific Ocean by this time tomorrow."

Brother Qi sat next to Cheng Mu and sighed a little.

"Well, I don't know if I'll be able to see the sea then." Cheng Mu smiled slightly and replied softly.

"We're not here to see the sea." Bi Chaoshen spit out a smoke ring and said faintly.

"Hey, it's not that hard to win the championship." 300 yuan, seeing that someone finally spoke out to feel nostalgic for life, and they also came over.

After saying this, Brother Qi and Bi Chaoshen both nodded lightly, they must be confident in winning the championship.

But the crux of the matter is that they are also confused, if S3 really wins the championship directly, wins the world championship, and fulfills their dream of playing professionally, will they still stick to this circle?

Or is it like Cheng Mu said before the start of the summer competition, after winning the world championship, he will retire?

seemed to have guessed Brother Qi's thoughts, and Cheng Mu spoke out again.

"I don't know if we're going to win the World Championship, and I don't know if we're going to lose motivation if we win...... Therefore, everything can only be left to chance. ”

Cheng Mu's voice was very soft, but his expression was very sincere, so it was obvious that he was thinking so in his heart.

Hearing this, Brother Qi and Bi Chaoshen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They are afraid that Cheng Mu is too stubborn, as long as they win the championship, they will retire and study, then even if they don't retire, the pirate ship will not be the pirate ship after all......

But as long as Cheng Mu's breath is loose, it means that everything is possible, and even at this time next year, they are preparing for the S4 finals together, and then looking forward to the upcoming S5.

"I'm homesick."

Silently, Cheng Mu spoke to the sky again.

Brother Qi nodded, indicating that he understood.

A teenager who has never been abroad has to go nearly 10,000 miles away, and he will inevitably feel a little panicked and dazed.

"Uncle Cheng's illness is also cured, you have won the championship and come back, you can take them to Shanghai to play."

"No, I'll go home, I'll be at home with them for three months."

Cheng Mu shook his head, compared to the prosperity of Shanghai, he still liked the quiet town.

Brother Qi didn't say anything more, and Bi Chaoshen and the others were still silent.

Everyone has their own thoughts, even the little red beans who don't know what sorrow is on weekdays, they all learn from Cheng Mu to be in a daze at the sky.

I don't know if he's thinking about his drunkard father who doesn't know where to get drunk tonight, or his mother who wants to return to his hometown in the mountains, or if he is thinking about whether he can lead the strongest team in China to compete in the S competition one day in the future, like Mu Dad.

Tonight's e-sports circle is still boiling, tonight's royalty and OMG are jubilant, but tonight's pirate ship is destined to be a silent and sleepless night.

At the same time, in an upscale hotel in Los Angeles, USA, a young man leaned against the window and muttered......

Looking closely, he turned out to be Yin Yihan who had disappeared for nearly a year! (To be continued.) )
