Extra 1: "Division 1" (Free)
Drama Master.
This old guy who has accompanied Li Luo's career for two and a half years, and has attracted enough attention every year, finally looked forward to the favor of Li Da's summoner.
When the champion skin on the AD slot was selected, countless players burst into tears.
"Tearful eyes, Brother Luo, you are finally a person."
"Turtle and tortoise, AD position, three consecutive crowns, unique in the past, right?"
"One thing to say, the position of the ADC is very strange, if you want to win the game, he is absolutely indispensable, but it is difficult to win if you want to put all your guts on the ADC."
"Hard to win? My brother Luo can play the tool man AD as a dog for his teammates, and he can also play four guarantees and one of them, this is a pure hexagonal ADC template, okay? ”
"I have to say that Brother Luo is too stable, he has been playing professionally for so long, and his strength has been stable......"
……
After the World Championship came to an end, the discussion about Li Luo has not stopped in major forums.
Although LOL is only a game project in e-sports, it is undeniable that with the achievement of the LPL's three consecutive championships, as the largest player base in the world, the popularity of the game is still unique among many games.
If it weren't for the fact that Mafu always engaged in some underworld operations, focusing on selling skins for 30 years but ignoring the essence of leaving players, the popularity of League of Legends would not have been so much.
But the reality is sometimes so magical, knowing how to go, there will always be some dramatic problems.
As the S10 season approaches, the transfers of the major teams are also in full swing.
The most high-profile last season's champion Thorn Bird, under the expectation of countless fans, did not make adjustments to the departure of personnel, but only added a new substitute AD player HOPE, although this operation caused a discussion, but as long as Li Luo is still there, almost everyone ignores the existence of substitute AD.
Until......
Halfway through the spring competition, a dynamic released simultaneously by Li Luo's personal Weibo and Thorn Bird's official blog caused a major earthquake in the circle.
Li Luo will leave the stage temporarily and choose to rest.
At this point in time when Li Luo was resting, the Thorn Birds had already won 8-1 in the situation that they had played against several strong teams in the new season, such as TES, JDG, and SN.
The only game we lost was against TES at the start of the season.
When Jackeylove and Left Hand joined TES, TES attracted a lot of attention in the new season.
And the 2-1 score against last year's champion Thorn Birds also proved it.
Countless fans of the Thorn Bird were a little stunned for a while after seeing Li Luo's rest information.
In fact, these fans have felt that from the beginning of the season to the present, although the Thorn Birds have a superior record and occupy the top of the current standings, and their games still seem to be full of enjoyment, they always feel that something seems wrong.
Let's just say that in the tiebreaker with TES, the two sides played a bladder game, but the thorn bird got a lineup that was biased towards the mid-stage huddle, and it would be a little weak in the late stage, on the other hand, TES gave double C two late-stage big cores.
When the ADCs on both sides are dressed in six gods, and there is a significant gap in the lineup, as long as the ADC with a good lineup does not make mistakes in operation, the space to play is bound to be greater.
Therefore, when all the teammates died in that game, and Li Luo was lonely, the three people who still had enough combat power in the face of their opponents could only hate the scene.
Even if Li Luo's output in this game is still explosive, when the final winner belongs to the opponent, the right to speak will be in the hands of the winner.
After losing the game, Li Luo looked at the bright red defeat on the screen and lost his mind.
But then there is relief.
He hadn't lost a game in a long time.
At the beginning of the season, Li Luo thought about resting.
Even though he felt a faint sense of fatigue in his heart after the World Championship last year, Li Luo still chose to stand on the field when preparing for the new season.
It's just that after repeated training and games, Li Luo has an indescribable feeling, although his actual state is still hot, the game idea is also very clear, and he is quite proficient in the new version......
It wasn't until the moment he lost the game that Li Luo realized that he seemed to be overloaded.
Physically, mentally, in these three-year career, it has finally been overloaded.
In the past three years, except for the Chinese New Year, Li Luo has very little time to go home, that is, he has a short time to go home when he plays RNG and JD.com at home in the capital.
For his body, although Li Luo is consciously managing, the abstract work and rest time of professional players are destined to be unable to ensure health all the time.
Due to the excellent results of each season, the club rarely has holidays.
Like the teams at the bottom of the LPL rankings, they can have a holiday in early August.
Others are resting while they're playing the playoffs.
They were also resting while they were playing bubble games.
During the World Championships, it was extremely comfortable to rest.
But the teams that can make it to the World Championship and reach the finals are different.
Of course, there will be more or less a few days off in between.
It's just that Lee's position in the team is too special.
Take the thorn bird as an example, although the thorn bird was formed by relying on a group of veterans.
But these veterans have different personal styles.
Trying to crumple veterans with different playstyles into a rope on a tactical level is not something that can be solved by touching the upper lip to the lower lip.
Version preview Li Luo to consider.
Tactical run-in Li Luo should be considered.
The game BP Li Luo should also be considered.
The in-game conductor Li Luo still has to consider.
As for this, it should be the coach's job......
Li Luo is also very helpless.
He doesn't do tactics, who does.
Do you rely on Zhu Kai?
So Li Luo is tired.
Really tired.
Suddenly, Li Luo understood Faker's feelings when he cried in the Bird's Nest before he was reborn.
is as strong as a faker who treats League of Legends for ten years as a day, and there has never been a time when he has made a high-intensity start for three consecutive years and has a full schedule every year.
S3's faker genius debut.
S4 Waterloo, which failed to make it to Worlds, had a few months to adjust to itself.
The return of the S5 king has changed its own style, and the team attributes are shining like a new star.
S6, full of strength.
S7, full of intensity.
Then he finally fell in the final.
S8, the Black Emperor and the T Emperor went out to fight, and was stuck in front of the World Championship by a troll a pillar.
S9……
is as strong as faker, and in three consecutive seasons of high-intensity battles, Hou Ye has shared some pressure for him.
Li Luo played more than 95 percent of the games in three years.
Although in terms of mentality, Li Luo felt that he was not under any pressure.
But this kind of pressure that is hidden in the depths, seems to be invisible, and cannot be touched, once it accumulates to a certain extent, it explodes instantly, and it is the most terrifying.
From this day on, the teenager Hope began to play training matches, and Li Luo would occasionally give advice to him as a senior.
After gnawing most of the hard bones, Li Luo's rest also followed.
And when Li Luo rested, the Thorn Birds' results did not decline significantly, and the next few BO3 games faced teams were not strong, and in the case of only losing one more point, the Thorn Birds still advanced to the playoffs at the top of the standings and stood in a good position.
And Li Luo has not started broadcasting since announcing his break, and the account score of Hanbok has also fallen rapidly with the absence of a long time, and countless marketing accounts and self-media were still looking forward to Li Luo's news all day long, but when the LPL Spring Tournament was over, they still didn't get any news, so they gradually gave up.
The results of the Spring Championship of the Thorn Birds were not satisfactory, and the Thorn Birds lost 1-3 in the face of FPX rising from below.
Countless fans of Thorn Bird have begun to miss Li Luo, but the characteristic of the first division is there, that is, there is never a shortage of traffic protagonists.
If there is a traffic protagonist falling, there will be a new traffic protagonist rising.
Riot '20 Midseason changed the format.
The format looks somewhat similar to the China-South Korea match.
Four teams from each region are divided into two groups to compete against each other.
Unlike the China-South Korea match, teams in the region will also face each other.
And when TES won the championship and LPL swept the top three, the name of the world's No. 1 region seemed to have fallen firmly on the LPL.
At least, that's what the whole network is saying.
Li Luo's contribution to the LPL is recognized by players, and a large amount of capital will be injected into the three-consecutive championship region, wanting to get a piece of the pie.
At this time, Li Luo had been out for a long time, and finally embarked on the way back.
"Xiaoluo, there is one thing I don't really understand, the number of Korean aid in LPL this year doesn't seem to be less at all, it stands to reason that the all-Chinese class has won the championship, shouldn't you believe in your own people more?"
On the plane, his brother Li Hong, who came back with Li Luo, said thoughtfully.
"Brother, it's a shame that you're still a top student in the law department."
Li Luo yawned: "On the surface, the all-Chinese class won the championship, indicating that five Chinese are greater than five KR, but the domestic side cannot be compared with the Korean side in terms of cultivating new talents, so the role of the all-Chinese class to win the championship is only one, that is, to make the LCK Korean aid temporarily trampled under the feet of the LPL from the beginning of the sky-high price become cheap." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Hong instantly understood.
If the club wants to cultivate newcomers, it must first find those who really have this kind of talent, and secondly, it must also consider whether other families are willing or not, and secondly, whether they can be trained in a short period of time without systematic training experience, and even if they are trained, how much time and how much money they have to invest in this process.
These are all problems.
In contrast, spending money directly, and not having to spend so much to buy Korean aid, is undoubtedly still the best choice for the development of the competition area.
At least from the perspective of capital, it makes perfect sense to think about it.
"But this ...... Is it really not going to go wrong? ”
"Who knows?"
Li Luo said with a smile.
After a few months of rest, coupled with revisiting places around the world, Li Luo is undoubtedly much more relaxed.
And Li Luo has not completely abandoned the League of Legends for such a long time, in addition to the version of Li Luo's attention, Li Luo has also played unpopular servers such as European and Australian servers.
The strength is much lower than that of the hanbok, but there is no problem in maintaining the feel.
The mid-season is a bit late, with the Worlds just two months away from the end.
Now that he is resting, Li Luo simply plans to rest until the end of the season.
Just the results of the summer race from the Thorn Birds......
It's a bit bad.
The regular season standings were only sixth.
The sixth position seems to be at the forefront of the sixteen teams in the LPL.
But in fact, aside from a few teams facing a little stronger, they will send points steadily, and only the experience of playing against each other to get points is not to mention, the ranking of the Thorn Bird can only be regarded as the middle of the stream.
I can't even get into the World Championships.
And there are a lot of problems accumulated in the team, and Li Luo, who has been resting for a few months, needs a certain amount of time to adapt to the intensity of the game even if he goes back.
Therefore, Li Luo simply planned to rest until the end of the World Championship.
……
The much-anticipated World Championship is coming.
Under the expectation of countless LPL audiences, LPL teams began to shine in the World Championship.
Famous scenes have also been born one after another.
First, Wolf Xing was beaten out of the pain mask by Little Peanut.
Then the left-handedness reached the semi-finals, even if it was successful, it was also fulfilled.
Suning, the No. 3 seed, became a dark horse, knocking out JD.com and TES all the way, and meeting DWG in the final.
When he saw this scene, Li Luo couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Three wins in a row, but nothing changed anything that followed.
Oh...... The same cannot be said either.
Because the sentence Xu Xiu said in the Bible is obviously more resolute than the sentence Xu Xiu said in the S10 World Race before he was reborn in his memory.
Three years of humiliation have all turned into motivation at this moment.
And it is SN who bears such firepower.
When Huanfeng's operation was transformed, and the ancient dragon buff Ezreal skill was completely empty and was killed by Clockwork, the game was already over.
LCK, recast the glory, lifted the championship trophy of the S competition.
Before the World Championship, the LPL was the first division, and this "first division" was also marked with double quotation marks.
The anger that Korean players had suppressed for a long time erupted.
In the absence of this Li Luo, all poured out.
Just like the famous phrase of the giant at the beginning.
It's been three years.
LPL players seem to recall that humiliating time again.
Li Luoren sat at home, and inexplicably became a hot search again.
Unfortunately...... Fists are going to make trouble.
While every year's iconic entertainment All-Star Game is announced, the 2020 All-Star Game is different.
This year, there is a main competition.
In the two major regions, players will vote, and the player with the most votes for each position will participate.
Two substitutes are allowed in each region.
I even got a trophy out.
Although there are trophies in the All-Star Game in previous years, the trophies are limited to the solo game.
This is the first time that a trophy of the nature of a region has been made.
Voting will only be held by those who have competed in the region this year.
In the pool of LPL players, Li Luo is impressively listed.
On the night when the competition system and voting were officially released, Li Luo couldn't help but laugh when he saw himself leading everyone by a cliff in just a moment with the number of votes on the voting website.
"Fist, it's really good at arching fire."
