Chapter 453: Expedition!
"We.... Won the championship?"
In the backstage lounge, the former manager of the Snake team and the current manager of the Thorn Bird team looked at the screen.
He admits that in the past nearly half a year, the thorn bird has paid a lot up and down, including himself.
Although there were many ups and downs in the process, Li Luo was not able to win the spring tournament as he did when he was in the EDG team last year. In the regular season, the Thorn Birds lost a lot of big games, and even more small games than the teams behind them in points.
But in the playoffs, the Thorn Bird soared as if it were a rocket, soaring to the point that each time the final score exceeded Zuo Wu's pre-game preset.
Now the final is 3-0 to crush JD.com!
Although the opponent of the Thorn Bird in the final is not the giant IG and EDG team that has won the world championship before and is widely recognized by the domestic audience, it is undeniable that JD stands out among them, which is enough to show the strength of the JD team.
However, such a team was completely suppressed by the Thorn Bird team in terms of tactics and player execution ability. In Zuo Wu's opinion, it was really the same as a dream.
When did he see the final stage as the manager of the club?
But now he sees it, and soon he will be able to get up close and personal with the players, and even hug the trophy!
"Calm, it's just the champion of the LPL league, it's not a big deal." Zhu Kai patted Zuo Wu's shoulder.
Zuo Wu looked at Zhu Kai's narrow expression, and instantly became happy: "Yo, it's up."
"Then you see, buddy was the champion in the spring and summer games last year, and the spring game is the champion again this year, and I am the only coach who has won three consecutive championships in the domestic LPL division except Abu, right?"
Zhu Kai was proud.
"Okay, okay, what's the deal with tea and water."
Zuo Wu immediately replied, but after replying, he smiled with relief: "But also, you pour tea and water, ordinary people really can't do it."
Jokes aside.
Zhu Kai's efforts in the past six months are in Zuo Wu's eyes.
Zuo Wu admitted that when he was in the Snake period, Zhu Kai did not play a particularly important role in his eyes to the team's results.
Adjusting the relationship between the players and maintaining the daily needs of the players, Zhu Kai has done a good job in these aspects. But tactics are hard to describe.
However, Zhu Kai, who came back after going to the EDG team to "gild" for a year, gave Zuo Wu a feeling of being impressed by the three days of Shibi.
How many times late at night the contestants have slept, but Zhu Kai has not slept yet.
How many times he has woken up, but when he arrived at the training room, he found that Zhu Kai was still staring at the computer screen to record the review and some tactical information in detail, and sometimes even slept directly on the chair.
Zhu Kai may not be the most powerful coach in the LPL.
But at least in the past six months, Zuo Wu can be sure that Zhu Kai is definitely the most diligent coach in the LPL division! He is so diligent that he can't die, he is in his thirties.
"Then you see, otherwise why wouldn't it be you who came to power?"
Zhu Kai also patted his old partner's shoulder: "Let's go, haven't you touched the trophy yet?" Just had a good time?" "Gotcha, let's go!"
On the stage of the venue, neon lights poured on several teenagers who stepped onto the stage after shaking hands. The teenagers quickly rushed to the championship trophy and held it high around it!
"Okay, tear less, don't be tense, come, hold it yourself and feel it."
Xiangguo looked at Liu Qingsong staring at the trophy in a daze, and immediately teased.
However, this time Liu Qingsong did not reply, but after a brief hesitation, he reached out and picked up the trophy. "It's a little heavy."
Liu Qingsong, who lifted the trophy, had mixed feelings in his heart. His professional years are not short.
And in addition to the LPL League, Liu Qingsong also played other messy small games.
Now it's up
When this symbolizes the highest honor of the domestic league, Liu Qingsong feels that this feeling is really beautiful.
"Doesn't it feel good, buddies have had enough, you can feel more when you get back to the base." The incense pot said with a smile.
"I've felt it like this, and now I want to know what it's like to be the MSI Championship Trophy, do you know that?"
Liu Qingsong glanced at the incense pot. The incense pot's face suddenly collapsed. Of course he played MSI.
It's a pity that I didn't touch the championship trophy.
You must know that the symbolic meaning of the MSI championship trophy in the S6 season is actually quite far-reaching, because the first MSI in 15 years only has medals, no trophies.
They beat SKT back-to-back in the group stage, but they were bloodied in the knockout round. This has also become a big knot in the incense pot.
"Although I haven't picked it up, but at least I've smelled it, what exactly does it feel like, you ask Lao Li, he is clear." The incense pot smuggled.
"I'd like to know, too."
Xiye also added a sentence after that.
In fact, he and Xiangguo's desire for the MSI championship trophy is theoretically higher than that of Brother Shenggun and Liu Qingsong. People have a curious mindset about things they have never been exposed to.
To put it bluntly, it's just interest.
But only when you touch that stage, when the championship trophy has a chance to fall into your hands, but then fly away, the feeling of losing and cherishing will make people yearn for the championship trophy even more.
The same is true of the night and the incense pot.
After thinking seriously for a few seconds, Li Luo said slowly: "It's been a long time, to be honest, I forgot a little bit, this time I tried to write a note of my feelings, and maybe I could publish a book after a long time."
Li Luo's words made the other members of the Thorn Bird slightly stunned.
Xiangguo was the first to smile: "Okay, then you review it a second time, and we will learn it a first time." "Learn it the first time, hit the MSI!"
After saying these words, everyone in the Thorn Bird said "Impact MSI" in unison, and at the same time, they once again held the trophy high in the cheers that still lasted for a long time!
In this post-match interview session, Li Luo and Liu Qingsong were invited to participate together.
Liu Qingsong has not been interviewed many times, and although he is not very resistant to interviews in his heart, he definitely can't like it.
This time, I will choose to accept it, or because Li is on his side. Today, it is still Yu Shuang who is in charge of the post-match interview.
Li Luo is also used to being interviewed.
It's just that after frequently winning the championship in the finals and answering some similar content in interviews, Li Luo is also a little tired.
Except for the feeling of winning the championship, most of the other questions were answered by Liu Qingsong.
"This time, the Thorn Birds team will represent the LPL region in the MSI Mid-Season Championship, and at the same time, ..... In the next version, last year's EDG team's champion skin will also be released, and here I would like to interview shine player, will you use the champion skin you won last year in this MSI?"
Yu Shuang's question surprised Li Luo.
Yu Shuang has already said just now, this is the last question.
But as is customary, shouldn't the last question be something like "what is the outlook for this MSI?"
Although he was stunned for a moment, Li Luo quickly considered the wording, smiled and said, "Of course, at the same time, I also hope that the teams that can participate in this MSI in other major regions will use my champion skin more, and if they use it more, the popularity will also rise, and the skin will naturally sell better."
The scene burst into laughter.
Yu Shuang glanced at Li Luo in surprise, in her impression, it was the first time that Li Luo answered questions in such a "straightforward and explicit" way.
"That.... There's one more question."
Yu Shuang blinked, and continued in Li Luo's stunned gaze: "Actually, you already know, right, I believe the audience also knows what I want to ask.
This time MS..... Team Lee's expectations?"
"I really can't run."
Li Luo was helpless, but as for how to answer this question, Li Luo had actually been prepared for a long time. MSI on the thorn bird prepared a lot.
But in Li Luo's impression, there are also a lot of variables in this MSI.
Faced with this problem, Li Luo was not 100 percent sure in his conscience. Therefore, Li Luo's answer was only four words: "Do your best."
"Okay, do your best, then let's go and see if the Thorn Bird can overcome the thorns and fly high on the MSI!" Yu Shuang was also slightly stunned after hearing Li Luo's answer, and then she seemed to realize something, and even her tone became a little serious.
Many of the answers in the interview are not difficult to guess what they really mean.
When Li Luo said that he would do his best, instead of pursuing a certain goal, Yu Shuang understood that perhaps in Li Luo's eyes, this MSI was very likely to be a vicious battle.
The LPL's Spring Tournament has come to an end.
But for the melon-eating audience, the effect of the show has just begun. The old brother who resisted the bar hasn't started to bring the rhythm yet, and the bar is gone.
The E-sports Louvre died, and all the troops moved to the anti-pot bar.
Two days before the end of the finals, it was no surprise that most of the voices in the bar were congratulating the Thorn Birds. But after two days, some of the lurkers began to show their heads.
They began to "reasonably" with wave after wave of rhythm.
One of the more dominant rhythms was Lee's ambiguous answer to the question of MSI's expectations in the post-match interview.
A series of remarks such as "lack of confidence", "MSI is dangerous", "LCK will regain its glory this year", "there is no hope for the all-Chinese class", etc., have sprung up like toilet paper.
And with the teams participating in MSI in each region being released one after another, the classic European team G2 has also begun to work.
Ah P, who transformed the ad position on Twitter, directly said that it was a pity that EDG did not meet EDG in the World Championship last year, but it doesn't matter, although EDG did not appear on MSI this year, the most important person is here, waiting to receive the baptism of genius a!
In addition, the other members of the G2 team and even the coaches have also expressed their own ambitions. In this regard, most of the LPL audiences regard them as comedians.
Because that's how G2 used to be.
In the hearts of LPL audiences, the opponents that the Thorn Bird team should really pay attention to are excluding Europe and the United States.
The SKT team in the LCK region is still strong this year, winning the LCK Spring Championship and advancing to the MSI.
At the same time, SKT's supervisor kko also said very bluntly that this time they will definitely take revenge on the LPL, aiming at the MSI championship.
China and South Korea are already facing each other, and even if there is still some time before the start of the game, the smell of gunpowder on both sides has gradually become stronger.
However, at the same time, in the base of the Thorn Bird Clan, everyone who had already prepared the Thorn Bird Clan officially embarked on the journey.
Zhu Kai said slowly on the bus to the airport: "The location of this competition is not particularly far from us, the play-in round and group stage will be played in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, the group stage will be played in Hanoi, and the knockout stage will be played in Wanwan Province, we don't need to make any adjustments in terms of jet lag, remember one thing when you get there, don't eat indiscriminately, don't go out and run around alone."
"Vietnam is not India, so the problem shouldn't be that exaggerated, right?"
Brother Saint Lance said thoughtfully.
"My knowledge of Vietnam is limited to the fact that I know that their currency is not very valuable, and the prices seem to be very cheap." Xiangguo thought for two seconds and then turned his head to look at Li Luo: "Brother Luo, do you know what specialties there are in Vietnam?"
"I'm not a jack of all trades."
Li Luo was speechless, Xiangguo has a lot of questions recently, and he likes to ask him everything.
At this time, Li Luo's mind kept echoing emphasis
A classic picture that I saw before I was born.
He remembered that before the rebirth, the IG team, as the team that participated in this MSI, left an indelible classic scene in the group stage.
This scene is not against 1557 against Team SKT. It is the famous interview scene of Yu Wenbo.
Myself ..... this time You won't encounter a translator, right?
When he realized this problem, Li Luoyou tried to teach himself Vietnamese.
Li Luo, who was abroad before being reborn, learned English very quickly, so Li Luo subconsciously felt that he should be relatively talented in language.
However, after studying Vietnamese for ten minutes, Li Luo really gave up. Now Li Luo can only pin his hopes on "luck".
If it doesn't work, then give your teammates a little temptation and let them go up for you to interview. Well, that's a great idea.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Li Luo's mouth, and his eyes swept over several of his teammates.
"Speaking of which, the European team is very jumpy this time, but I have watched their finals and I feel that they are still very strong."
Liu Qingsong suddenly spoke.
"It's definitely not as unbearable as it says on the Internet, the more you like to point out, the more you don't understand anything, I also think G2 is a strong team, and TL is not bad this year, but I don't know if they will continue to trigger their North American debuff in the World Championships."
Brother Saint Lancer followed suit.
"We just need to train well, this time MSI I'll be honest, it feels quite fierce to see any of them, this version seems to be like this, watching a game in a single region, it's hard to measure the strength and weakness of yourself."
After saying this, the incense pot was silent for two seconds: "The other team said that I only want to do SKT once."
