Chapter 585: LPL No. 1 Seed, Please!
"Let's congratulate IG! After fierce competition, with a score of 3 to 1, he won the championship of the S11 Spring Championship in the winner's group! ”
With Colonel Guan's passionate commentary, the first round of the winner's group finally came to an end.
After the first game between the two sides ended, KKOMA quickly began to adjust the target, aiming at Ah Shui, who was not so stable.
Ah Shui is a very interesting person.
When you target him, it's actually easy to flush him out.
Because his own style of play is already aggressive enough.
However, he can often play very good output before he dies, resulting in sometimes losing teamfights even if he rushes to death.
So kkoma began to change his thinking in the second hand, and began to let Xun infinitely target the lower lane during the line period, forcing jiejie to hang up on the lower road.
And when this style of play comes out, Jiejie can only come.
His route began to be restricted.
At this time, KKOMA asked Xu Ruoguang, who was on the road, to select one single-belt line hero after another.
At this time, if he loses the Saint Spear Brother who is a jungler, it will be difficult to contain Xu Ruoguang's one-line ability.
EDG began to frequently look for opportunities in the medium term, but IG's operation at this time was stable to the extreme, and it began to constantly put pressure on EDG through the line.
In the face of such a style of play, EDG seems to be a little poor in donkey skills.
No matter how hard Meiko tries, it is now impossible to deal with Xu Ruoguang on a single line.
As a result, the second one ended very quickly, and EDG couldn't even find a chance to play a group.
In the third hand, EDG will take the initiative to choose the red side and want the jungler to counter.
Don't you like to catch it?
This EDG directly selects the spider to jungle.
Come on, play 3v3!
Taking advantage of the strength of the spider, EDG easily disrupted Xun's rhythm in the early stage and kept Ah Shui.
In the end, in the middle of the wave of team battles, he successfully completed the snowball and won the third hand.
can be regarded as retaining his dignity and not being taken away by 3-0.
However, the adjustment ability of the fourth kkoma is far beyond Abu's imagination.
After replacing with rookie, IG began to choose to fight with EDG in the late team battle.
The change in tactical style is very difficult, however, IG's slump some time ago is for this moment.
How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?
In the difficult times some time ago, IG has quietly prepared for everything.
The fourth game played for a long time, and it was not until the game time was close to thirty-seven minutes that IG won EDG in one fell swoop through the strength of the teamfight lineup.
Three to one, they won EDG in the first round of the upper bracket.
After the game, Ah Shui looked a little lost.
He didn't play badly today, but he couldn't talk about how good he was in the face of targeting.
"Come on."
Xu Ruoguang didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder, smiled and encouraged.
"Let's encourage each other."
Ah Shui sighed,
"It's so fierce, Brother Guang."
The end of the first round of the upper bracket does not mean that the spring season is over.
IG is still training.
At this time, they have truly integrated into a group, and their cooperation is getting better and better.
On April 7th, EDG, who defeated the winner of the second round of the lower bracket, played the final again.
To put it bluntly, in the current LPL, except for EDG, which is a team of the same level as IG, the other teams are somewhat meaningless.
Before the game, in order to create their determination to win, EDG's players also began to talk wildly.
"We won't lose to IG again this time!"
"Last time we lost, but now we have successfully completed the evolution, IG wait!"
"The EDG of today is not the EDG of a few days ago!"
They seemed confident.
At this time, IG did not react much.
The pain of transformation?
Bad fit?
These problems have been completely solved some time ago.
Now, it's time for IG to accept the results, no matter how EDG changes, their system is still the same after all, and nothing qualitatively has changed.
And in the face of such EDG, IG at this time has nothing to worry about at all.
The game starts at five o'clock in the afternoon.
At half past seven in the afternoon, IG left work at the speed of light.
This time, EDG, who felt that he had evolved, was taken away by IG at the speed of light 3-0.
The invincible EDG-sama has fallen again!
Seeing IG winning the cup, the EDG audience was a little bit defensive.
"It doesn't matter if I couldn't beat it some time ago, I still can't beat it after this adjustment once, I'm dizzy!"
"Is the difference in strength really that big? Obviously, our EDG lineup is not bad, but it is extremely uncomfortable to be pulled every time! ”
"They have two systems, they really can't play it."
"It's bad, now we're going to get Meng!"
Before the playoffs began, there was actually a saying on the Internet.
said that IG would become Meng Huo, and EDG was about to incarnate Zhuge Liang to complete many captures of IG.
It's a pity that the boomerang at this moment has hit EDG itself.
The current EDG fans are no longer a group of people from the previous pig offal.
They are now the little knights of the Silver Dragon Knights!
These people are people who have witnessed the most glorious era of EDG, and they also have absolutely high expectations and trust in EDG.
But they forgot.
EDG won the championship last year, but Xu Ruoguang was not there last year.
When this invincible top laner who was still in his prime returned, even a team as strong as EDG had extremely exaggerated pressure on the side.
After IG completed the adjustment, the EDG at this time, regardless of the tactical system or personnel allocation, has lost the ability to compete in the face of IG.
When IG uses tactics to restrain EDG, EDG has no choice!
"Three to zero! This IG is even better than the last one! From the beginning to the end, EDG was not given any chance to turn the tables, and the three rhythms were crushed from the beginning to the end! ”
"We can be sure that the Galactic Battleship that everyone thought at the beginning of the season really showed the kind of terrifying domination that belongs to the Galactic Battleship at this time!"
Guan Zeyuan's words are conclusive, and he has great trust in IG at this moment.
Three to zero!
Who can stop the champions from winning their unstoppable streak in their first season after winning last year's title?
IG can!
Not only stopped, but even crushed!
At this time, IG is no longer a team at the same level as EDG.
EDG abuses other teams and can abuse them casually, but IG abuses EDG, and the same is true......
Casual abuse!
What is a galactic battleship called?
This is a galactic battleship!
Xu Ruoguang skillfully got up from the chair and went to shake hands with the EDG players.
He's been through this many times.
It can only be said that League of Legends is still cruel at times, and the winner always has privileges.
Taking the initiative to shake hands is like a kind of punishment for the loser.
Because the loser does not have this right, they can only honestly sit in their place and wait for today's winner to come and shake hands.
"I didn't expect you to adjust so quickly."
Facing Xu Ruoguang, who was coming towards him, Li Xiaocan's expression was complicated, and he was a little unwilling to speak.
He has always wanted to win Xu Ruoguang once.
Some people may say, isn't the regular season won?
However, in Li Xiaocan's eyes, winning a regular season game is also a win?
In the playoffs, EDG won two BO5s, with a total score of 6-1.
It's not a team of one level anymore.
IG, which has completed the adjustment, has shown its strength, which has moved teams like EDG.
"I believed in them, and they gave me enough in return for making me believe in them."
Xu Ruoguang just said this, and gave Li Xiaocang a hug with a smile.
"Come on, Woo Chong."
"At this year's Worlds, I hope to see you."
Li Xiaocang unconsciously smiled on his face in the face of Xu Ruoguang's embrace, but quickly retracted and said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, this year, I'm sure I'll win."
Xu Ruoguang patted him on the back and nodded with a smile.
Didn't say anything.
When the handshake was over, it was time for EDG to leave.
The rest of the time does not belong to them, but to the eventual winner, IG.
Abu skillfully comforted the contestants and watched the stage speak aloud.
"Remember this moment, remember the loss of the present."
"S11 has just begun, and we're not going to stop there."
"Remember the feeling of this moment and work for it."
"I'm sure you all hate losing as much as I do, so let's work together to get revenge on them in the summer."
The EDG player nodded silently.
Failure is a common occurrence in soldiers.
A single defeat can't destroy EDG, which has been tempered like iron in the Worlds.
Just the pride in their hearts is enough for them to burn the fire in their hearts all the time.
Qin Zhongze, the person in charge of Tengjing, once again stepped onto the stage.
He first announced the prize money for the champion of this year's LPL Spring Tournament, and then announced the final winner of this year's Spring Tournament with some emotion.
"Although there have been several twists and turns, the final champion has finally been decided."
"Let's go together, congratulations IG!"
With the cheers of the audience and the silver flowers falling from the sky, Xu Ruoguang smiled and picked up the silver dragon cup with his teammates.
Although the name is the Silver Dragon Cup, it is the Silver Dragon Knights who were sent away today.
I have to say, with a bit of dramatic humor.
The S11 Spring Tournament is officially over now.
This year is probably the most special year.
Due to some unspeakable special reason, the MSI that was forcibly held last year caused many players to have accidents, so this year's MSI was decided to be suspended.
Now that the format has become more and more severe, it is almost impossible to play abroad.
This is also what makes Xun and ON a players a little regretful.
I was thinking about whether there was a chance to win an MSI championship this year, but it was just lost due to special reasons.
However, the LCK side does not quite agree.
Led by the boss of GENG, he wants to invite the top four teams on the LPL side to hold a competition similar to MSI with the top four teams in the LCK, called MSC.
His intentions were good, but he went the wrong way.
IG directly rejected it at the first time.
Xu Ruoguang took to Twitter and said he was not interested at all.
The content of his tweet can be summed up in one sentence: Who are you?
Because of this boss, he didn't even bother to find someone to make the trophy. Just made a small card.
The prize money after winning is also terrifyingly low, which is equivalent to less than 30 W in soft sister coins.
Just for that kind of thing. Forcibly go to an MSC?
And then after the fight, it will be targeted by the insidious designer to play a good hero?
The most important thing is that although this game has gold content in terms of strength, after all, it is the top four in the LCK and LPL.
However, it is not an official tournament, and it is not an international card tournament at all.
In terms of honor, the gold content is ridiculously low, at least it can't compare to MSI.
Whoever hits who is stupid.
Anyway, Xu Ruoguang is definitely too lazy to fight, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Oh, the original TES will fight, that's fine.
It's really like something that TES can do, and it's a typical brainlessness.
However, the timing is a bit awkward.
Because at this time, other LPL teams have already agreed, but IG has not agreed.
For a while, a voice naturally flowed out.
"IG, scared?"
The audience must want to watch more games, otherwise it would be a few months before the summer is after the spring is over.
I haven't watched a game in months, how boring is this?
They wish they could play the World Championship every day so that they can watch it all the time.
IG's refusal naturally upset them a little.
In addition, during this time, IG fans almost dominated the rivers and lakes on the Internet. As a result, many people felt that their home team was being belittled, so they began to fight back.
It's also thanks to Xu Ruoguang that he has an achievement, otherwise the current IG fans are no different from S8's royal miscellaneous before 1020, and they are all likely to be liquidated.
The problem is that because of Xu Ruoguang's restraint, coupled with the fact that he alone has a higher honor than all the clubs combined, Guangza almost never goes against the wind.
So IG was afraid that even if this argument led to some discussion, it still failed to set off too much of a storm.
IG doesn't care what the audience says at all, because the current IG is Xu Ruoguang's final say.
Xu Ruoguang knows the mentality of the audience too well, and they are not all dissatisfied with the current IG not playing the so-called MSC, the main reason is that they are bored and want to watch people play games now.
And this is actually not difficult for IG to satisfy.
Soon, the IG Club issued a statement.
IG Esports Club:
【IG Esports Club Announcement】
"From now on, any professional team that feels it has the strength, including a minor league team, can ask IG to register for an open training tournament, with five BO1 spots, one BO3 spot, and one BO5 spot every day."
"The whole process of the open training match will be broadcast live on the Huya platform @Huya Live, because of the open training match, I hope everyone is clear about the nature, if there is a tactical system that you want to hide, please pay attention."
"IG welcomes all opponents who feel they have the strength."
In a word, IG big stage, if you have the courage, you will come!
Although training matches are generally not closed.
But IG has already explained it in advance, and everyone knows it, so it is equivalent to an open exhibition match.
And who is the opponent?
It's IG!
A team of IG's level, it's no exaggeration.
Not to mention any LDL team, even if a mid-stream team wants to make an appointment for an IG training match, it is almost impossible.
Because IG has reached this level of strength, the training match will only be considered by the top three or even the top two in other regions.
Like the European LEC and the North American LCS, IG will only play with the champion and runner-up, and other invitations to training matches will be rejected.
In a word, no time, thank you.
So even though playing an open training tournament might expose something to a greater or lesser extent, it doesn't matter to the mid-stream team or the lower LDL team!
Because if it weren't for this accident, they might not even be able to play a training match with IG for the rest of their lives, except for encountering each other in the game.
Okay, I'll rush!
Now IG is like saying: deduct 1 free training opportunity.
Almost instantly, the IG Club's phone was blown up.
The competition ended in the spring and continued until the day before the start of the summer season.
Everyone's caliber is unprecedentedly unanimous: 111, is the big brother really sending?
IG: Really send!
This is Xu Ruoguang's plan.
Don't you guys like to watch games?
Here, I'll show you enough!
Now IG has figured out the style of other top teams, and it is not very profitable to continue to play.
And it's hard to make appointments right now in the offseason.
And no matter how good the other teams are, the training effect is a little better than the player's own Rank.
It's a win-win for IG!
IG wins twice.
It not only solves the turmoil, but also has enough quality and sufficient quantity of training matches.
Some people may have said that if IG doesn't have a holiday, won't the players have any opinions?
Not really.
Because both Xun and ON know very well how critical this year is, and it is not completely without rest, IG has a holiday as usual on Saturdays and Sundays.
So it doesn't matter at all.
Even Xun didn't think it was necessary to put it on Saturday and Sunday.
Xu Ruoguang felt that he was a little too extreme.
So an open training tournament that lasted for more than two months officially began.
For a while, the MSC news was completely covered.
Because MSC is the second, third, fourth, and fifth to play.
And this training match is IG's first play.
The audience said that "the quality of IG opponents is not good, and they are too lazy to watch", but in fact, the body is still more honest.
There is a first game to watch, no matter who the opponent is, it is better than the second and third, right?
Teng Jing was dizzy.
IG: What is this for?
IG is crazy, he is going to make a new LPL?
Scared, Tengjing hurriedly contacted IG to settle in sponsors, and at the same time shared profits and gave IG a very good endorsement fee.
IG won again, and it was a win.
It's a pity that it's not good for LPL audiences and foreign audiences.
For the first time, foreign audiences experienced the fear of being dominated by Moussrian and Mercedes-Benz.
The open training tournament, which lasted for more than two months, was exciting, and the mid-range teams didn't care about revealing their tactics at all, and anyway, the summer tournament was coming and a new version was going to be changed.
Coupled with the fact that many players play better when they are not facing the crowd, the level of this match is abnormally high.
The competition for more than two months not only played a very key role in IG, but also made the audience completely happy.
The level of discussion on a daily basis is simply outrageous.
As for MSC?
Uh, what MSC?
Nobody cares anymore.
The summer season also came as scheduled under such circumstances.
Although there are some slight changes to the version, these changes are completely painless for IG.
The arrival of the new hero Gwen also made Xu Ruoguang's hero pool more and more exaggerated and difficult to target.
"Let's congratulate IG!"
"Then in the end, I still have to congratulate IG, 2 to 0 took RNG!"
"Still congratulations to IG for winning the victory against TT easily!"
"Let's shout that sentence again, congratulations IG!"
At the end of the regular season, IG's record was a horrible 15-0.
With an invincible attitude of winning all the games, he entered the playoffs of the summer season.
At this time, IG fans can completely roar rampantly:
My home team has the posture of a great emperor!
The current IG training volume has opened up a level compared to other teams.
With the current strength of IG to play an ordinary LPL team in the regular season, it can only be described as a dimensionality reduction blow.
And under IG, there are two or three teams of similar strength.
First of all, EDG still maintains a strong competitiveness.
Then came RNG.
With Bin temporarily moving to RNG after that. The seller is back in his favorite mid-laner position, the full RNG seems to have been established, and gala's performance is getting better and better.
And then there's the old powerhouse JDG.
With TES's Last Hope Little Hand and 369 going out to JDG, JDG bought Viper from LCK to form another galactic battleship.
However, none of them are the opponents of IG now.
No matter how powerful the galactic battleship is, it is only overshadowed in the face of the current IG that has three or four systems in its hands.
The pattern of one super and many strong has been established.
Before the upper bracket finals, IG faced RNG from below and sent away cleanly 3-0.
In the first round of the upper bracket finals, IG easily curded JDG, which was also unbeatable in the lower half of the bracket.
In the second round of the upper bracket, IG faced JDG, who came up from the bottom half of the bracket, and completed the explosion again.
One game after another, 3-0 every game!
This is the strength of the top teams in this era.
"No matter what kind of strong team you are, no matter how high your configuration is, how well you cooperate, but in the face of absolute strength, these will be overshadowed!"
"The strength of IG is not reflected in one aspect, but in all aspects!"
"Maybe before today, everyone would think that IG has had a low point in the team, and it is not the most dominant team of the year."
"But after today's BO5 against JDG, I think this debate can also be over."
"At the cost of one season, IG has completely taken a big step ahead of the other competitors!"
"There is no so-called galactic battleship that can shake IG's domination of the LPL!"
"And, quite possibly. IG can also continue this invincible domination in the Worlds! ”
"The No. 1 seed of the LPL has been decided, and the champion of the S11 Summer Tournament is, IG!"
"No matter how strong you are, facing IG will only end you up with failure!"
"Let's congratulate IG and wish IG a brilliant result in this year's Worlds!"
"Congratulations IG!"
At this time, Guan Zeyuan was already excited.
In his lifetime, the last time he saw such a dominant team was the IP of S7.
And the IP of that year, the final ending was......
Win the championship and win the League of Legends championship in S7!
The new king has been established.
The legend that belongs to Xu Ruoguang continues!
The silver flowers that belong to IG fall down.
Today, it's another silver rain.
Xu Ruoguang won the summer championship that many people can't touch in their lifetime for the sixth time.
His expression was flat and confident.
He looked at the audience and bowed deeply.
The cheers broke through the sky, and the audience happily witnessed the beginning of the era that belongs to IG.
Everyone knows that a team of this caliber has only one goal when they enter the Worlds.
Champion.
On September 30th, the IG team boarded a plane to Iceland.
LPL No. 1 seed, please!
