Chapter 202: Hostility from the LCK
"The schedule of the continental competition feels quite tight, and the group stage is only two days."
After Chen Ye and the factory director sat down, Uzi casually talked about the topic.
When the factory director heard this, he also nodded.
"It's true, and our two EDG games are on the second day of the group stage."
The group stage schedule of this continental tournament is quite interesting.
Each team will play two BO1 matches in the group stage.
Their BO1 opponent is related to their ranking in the spring season.
For example, EDG, they are the champions of the spring tournament, so the opponents they will face will only be SKT and FW.
These two teams are the first in the spring competition of their respective regions.
The other teams also arranged their opponents according to their rankings in the spring tournament.
Everyone waited for the meal to be served, and chatted casually.
After a while, Xiao Ming suddenly said mysteriously.
"I heard that next year's bend competition area will be gone, do you know about this?"
Chen Ye raised his eyebrows and shook his head lightly.
The news of the factory director is naturally better than Chen Ye.
After Xiao Ming opened the topic, he quickly picked up the conversation.
"Well, I've heard of it, and it's almost settled. If nothing else, there will indeed be no LMS next year. β
Xiao Ming nodded, and said, "Don't you have any players who are interested?" I feel that there are still a few good players on this side. β
The director stared at him for a while, with a smile on his face.
"Shi Senming, do you have something to say?"
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he said hehe.
"Nothing."
The factory director took a chopstick dish and said casually: "Which of them is you RNG interested in?" karsaοΌ Or maple? β
"Hey, you haven't talked about him yet, what are you talking about?"
Uzi put a piece of meat in the factory director's bowl and also lightly exposed the factory director's problem.
The factory director turned his head and looked at Chen Ye and blinked.
The meaning is obvious: Look, these two people are really interested in the bent players, this is spying on the military.
Chen Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
"What about your IG? Are you planning to strengthen the next division? β
didn't wait for too long of silence in the room, Xiao Ming pulled the topic to Rookie again.
Rookie didn't beat around the bush so much, and gave the answer very happily.
"If we IG, you also know that the weaker point now is the lower road."
"But the ADC in our academy, as you all know, is pretty good."
"So, we shouldn't have any reinforcements next year."
After a pause, Rookie continued, "And I feel like there's no player on this side of the bend that can replace any of us next season. β
Chen Ye's hand paused slightly, and his eyes looked at Rookie with some admiration.
It's you, madness!
Until now, Chen Ye still remembers an anecdote about Rookie, or black material.
In the year he was in S5, when he first joined LPL, he experienced an interview that made his reputation change sharply.
At that time, the interviewer asked him why he chose to come to LPL.
Rookie's answer was very straightforward.
Because he felt that in the LPL region, it would be easier for him to go to the World Championship and touch the supreme S Tournament trophy.
As soon as this remark came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and his somewhat upright character was exposed.
And now, this kind of uprightness has been somewhat restrained.
But in this question just now, it was inevitably exposed.
Maybe Rookie is talking about the truest thoughts in his heart, but to outsiders, it will be a little arrogant.
A few people chatted, and the dishes were almost finished.
And just as Xiao Ming pulled a few people, ready to take a group photo together.
A shyly crooked voice sounded beside everyone.
"Hello."
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was a Taiwanese girl about 20 years old.
He looks very sweet and has a pretty good figure.
At this time, she was standing at this dining table and looking at Chen Ye.
"Can you add a contact information?"
When the girl saw everyone looking at her, her face did not change, and she still kept a smile and looked at Chen Ye.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then inevitably there was some coaxing.
The factory director raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything, just watched all this and ate the vegetables silently.
"I'm sorry, but I have a girlfriend."
To the surprise of Xiao Ming and the others, Chen Ye reacted quickly after being stunned at first, and then directly rejected this girl.
The girl didn't seem to expect this to be the result, and after a moment's pause, she nodded with an embarrassed but polite smile and turned to leave.
And after the girl left, Xiao Ming looked at Chen Ye with an incredulous face.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Uzi and Rookie didn't speak, but they had similar expressions of surprise.
Chen Ye nodded very dryly.
"There it is."
Xiao Ming was a little incredulous at first, and then swept over Chen Ye's face.
Then, his expression began to take place as it should.
"Also, your face is estimated to have never lacked a girlfriend since you were a child."
As soon as Xiao Ming said this, everyone nodded in approval.
When the factory director saw this scene, he smiled faintly, and his face was quite self-conscious.
This gesture is as if the elder brother is looking at his younger brother who has come out of his house, and he is praised in front of everyone and tries his best to pretend not to care.
"But that girl just now looks really good, and her figure is quite good, she looks like she should be a college student."
"So simply refused...... The male virtue is exemplary. β
Chen Ye smiled and said, "My girlfriend is much better looking than her." β
The factory director was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Ye's face beside him.
I don't know if it's his illusion, he always feels that Chen Ye's face is a little showing off at this time.
Several people also suddenly became energetic and coaxed to see the photos.
Chen Ye couldn't help it, so he lit up his mobile phone and held it up in front of everyone.
The lock screen of his mobile phone has long been replaced by the first photo of him and Su Qiaoqiao.
When this photo was taken, the two had just been together.
The movements between each other are not too intimate, but there is some green temptation.
When the picture was frozen, Su Qiaoqiao just turned his head to look at Chen Ye, and his eyes lit up slightly.
The girl's delicate and flawless side face is lit up by the neon lights of the city.
Too many beautiful things.
The crowd stared at the picture for a long time, and then they all sat back in their seats in silence.
After a long time, Xiao Ming let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm sour, I'm really sour."
Uzi wanted to speak and stopped, and finally pulled the corners of his mouth and didn't speak.
Rookie was also a little stunned, and after a while took out her phone, as if she was secretly looking at something.
Eventually, he muttered to himself in a voice that made it difficult to hear what he was saying.
"Anyway, you're the most beautiful in my heart."
After that, the atmosphere at the dinner table was no longer in favor of the girls.
Damn, Chen Ye, this kid has been killed, so what else do we have to say?!
Although everyone didn't speak, this thought flashed through their minds.
And the dinner is also in this process, gradually approaching the end.
However, just when everyone was chatting and preparing to check out and leave, a somewhat non-standard Chinese sounded around everyone.
"Mingkai?"
Everyone turned their heads to see that it was Deft and Pawn.
Outside the cafeteria, the other KT team members were chatting, presumably waiting for the two of them.
The director stood up and chuckled.
"Long time no see, both."
Deft also smiled slightly, his eyes swept over Chen Ye.
"You've become amazing this season."
The factory director was silent for a while, then nodded, "You know, I always look at my teammates' eyes, and it's always better. β
The pawn on the side finally joined the conversation at this time.
However, his target was not the factory director, but Chen Ye on the side.
"You seem to be very powerful, Sanghyuk has lost to you."
The Pawn's gaze was dark, and his expression seemed calm, but with a strong sense of aggression.
Chen Ye was of course very familiar with both of them.
As the double C who carried the flag of the EDG team at the beginning, it is naturally impossible for him not to know him.
"I'm lucky."
Chen Ye didn't say much, and after saying this sentence briefly, he continued to be silent.
Pawn, however, doesn't seem to be planning to let the conversation end there.
"You've done a great job so far leading the EDG team."
"Then I'm curious, in the next battle between the divisions, can you lead the entire division to move forward?"
After a pause, the pawn continued:
"I'm looking forward to playing against you, and I wonder if we can play each other once in this continental tournament?"
Chen Ye squinted slightly, staring at the pawn in front of him.
"I think there should be a chance."
"If you want, sooner or later we'll have a day when we will play each other. Hopefully, when the time comes, you'll be able to stay at your peak. β
When Pawn spoke, he was somewhat hostile to Chen Ye.
Chen Ye knew that the source of this hostility was most likely not a personal grudge.
It's that after he defeated SKT and won the MSI championship, the overall hostility of the LCK division towards them.
Everyone in the LCK is obviously unconvinced and unaccustomed to it.
Why did the LPL, which has always been pressed and beaten by them, win the championship in this MSI?
And in that team, the only Korean, is still a bastard?
This kind of fact makes all LCK viewers and players unacceptable.
Because of this fact, it almost means that the current LPL has surpassed the LCK.
How can they accept this kind of thing when they are used to being proud?!
Pawn tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Then come on, let's wait and see." β
After saying that, he nodded to the factory director again, and then walked towards the outside of the restaurant.
Deft also nodded to the two of them, and then turned his head and walked out of the restaurant.
Before he walked out of the restaurant, he glanced in Uzi's direction with a blank look.
The eyes are also full of hostility.
"Huh, these Koreans are very hostile."
Xiao Ming couldn't help frowning and began to say softly.
The factory director shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "They are usually good, but this is a struggle between the competition area and the competition area, and there is nothing they can do about it." β
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Are you sure it's not because you won the championship at MSI, they're a bit jumpy now?" β
The factory director was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
"It should ...... The possibilities are high. β
The two laughed for a while, and everyone had no reason to stay here.
β¦β¦
In the following time, the preparation between the divisions became more and more intense.
At this stage, training matches are not limited to each region playing against their own teams.
Between different competition regions, they have also started to make appointments.
However, in the process, all the teams were very conservative.
Obviously, no one wanted to expose their tactics to the other side during the training session.
In the process, fans in each competition area also began to send some cheering videos to the teams in their own competition regions on the Internet.
For example, on many social platforms in China, many LPL fans are sending short videos to cheer for LPL.
In their comment area, many people are also leaving messages.
"Come on, EDG! RNG: Come on! WE, come on! IG come on! β
"Rush me, get a championship back, this is the first continental competition, make history!"
"Indeed, if this wave of LPL wins the continental championship, I will wash my hair upside down."
"It's small, it's small, it's huge. If the LPL wins the championship, I will send 100 yuan to each person who likes it. β
"Is a hundred dollars serious? If you really win the championship, won't you have to go bankrupt? β
Obviously, many viewers of LPL now have ardent hopes for LPL winning the championship.
However, there are still many people who do maintain a pessimistic attitude towards the LPL championship.
"Don't...... I feel that this is a mouthful of poisoned milk, and the overall strength of LPL is not as good as LCK, so just strive to win a runner-up. β
"Indeed, if we don't lose to the bend anyway, then we can be satisfied. Then the LPL can play the level and style in the finals, even if it doesn't win the championship in the end, it is not a big problem. β
"Yes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Although EDG won the MSI championship, this is a game between divisions and divisions, and the LPL is really not interesting now. β
"Hey, it would be nice if we could let EDG play a team, in that case, there is still some hope for the outcome of the game."
From these comments, it can be seen that many viewers still don't have much hope for the rise of LPL.
Even EDG has already won the MSI championship this year.
The strength of the LCK really left a deep impression on their hearts.
The countless previous hopes have also made many people dare not raise the so-called hope in their hearts.
Because they also know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
So from the very beginning, there was no hope of winning the championship.
Then when the result is finally known, it will not be too disappointed.
And their arguments naturally conflict with the ideas of many audiences.
In the eyes of people on the other side, EDG's MSI championship this year is the rise of the LPL.
Now at this time, you say that the LPL has no hope of winning the championship.
So what are you thinking?
What ingredients?
In short, before the game even started, the audience of the LPL had already formed two distinct factions.
For a while, they were all fighting on the Internet.
And in this process, the main competition of the continental competition is finally about to kick off.
