"Oh, it's in the soup."

The negotiated KFC plan was doomed to fail from the moment Little Peanut appeared.

Sit at the bar.

"Brother Neinian, you can drink soda."

Theshy and Little Peanut got together and ordered two bottles of beer each.

Men, if you have alcohol, you are friends, and if you have a common topic, you can quickly talk about it under the stimulation of alcohol.

The bars are lit up, rock musicians play bass passionately on stage, and the beat of drums from the drum kit makes the boys and girls on the dance floor sway their hormones.

The smell of rich perfume fills the air, making people gradually rise.

Li Nian was bored and drank soda.

The piercing sound of electric music made his eardrums ach faintly

The only consolation is that he can appreciate his handsome photos.

This is near Riot's headquarters, and even the bar walls are covered with IG's championship posters.

It's a full deck!

fortunately

In the eyes of foreigners, Orientals all look about the same.

Few people recognized him and theshy.

However, during this period, two beautiful girls recognized Li Nian and took a group photo at their request, except for the tight hug and big suffocation.

Everything else was fine.

"Read, why did you have a nosebleed?" Little Peanut looked at Li Nian in surprise, "I'll accompany you to the bathroom to deal with it." ”

Touch your nose, sure enough.

"It's a little hot." Li Nian said weakly, took a tissue to block his nose and walked to the bathroom.

The two of them walked a little faster, and the lights were dim, and when they passed by the booth, they accidentally created a big man.

The burly figure was coiled with tattoos, and the face was full of flesh and fierce looks, making Li Nian and Little Peanut look like two crispy chickens in front of him.

"Mazhefak."

The scolding sounded, and Li Nian and Little Peanut glanced at each other.

Take care of it.

In the surprised gaze of the strong man, the two straightened up, took a step back, and bowed respectfully to him.

申し訳ありません(I'm sorry!) ）”

The strong man was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, the two of them had already disappeared.

"Damn little day pig" The strong man Bangbang hammered his fists on the table, and the wine bottle and glass also shook three times.

His companion yelled, "Thomson, what are you doing!" ”

"Oh, Tydamir," the brawny man pointed in the direction of the bathroom, "I want to kick their asses off those two stupid little day pigs." ”

Tedamir tilted his head to look over, inexplicably feeling familiar.

Touching his cheeks and pulling his mouth, he laughed.

He naturally easily recognized Li Nian's back.

The first FMVP from the LPL division made a deep impression on him when he spoke at the Bird's Nest Awards Ceremony.

But

He didn't debunk the lies of the two, but comforted his companion, "Thomson, you as a designer have to be patient enough not to be too impatient, like."

His thick palm patted Thomson's shoulder, "After the All-Star game, think about that magical boy's play, and take advantage of the fact that version 8.1 has not yet been released, and harmonize the values of the talent runes." ”

Thomson was a little surprised, he rarely saw a founder so attached to a particular pro.

Roll call to.

"Chun-Li's side has roughly set the tone," Thomson laughed innocently, "and he gave me four words"

"Fight version!"

In the final analysis, whether it is an incense burner or a wild core, the confrontation is too weak, and the two sides will decide the outcome after one or two waves of groups in the later stage.

It not only loses the innovation of the version, but also reduces the excitement of the collision, which affects the ratings of the viewer and is not conducive to expanding the publicity of League of Legends.

Taidamir saw the two smiling people next to the bathroom, "Chun-Li's main theme is very good, go back and give him a bonus!" ”

IG, which won the championship in S7, has become a thorn in the designer's side.

How to quickly adjust is very important.

Fortunately, the essence of IG uses the double C field core play, but if it is targeted by the designer, it will inevitably be heavy.

Li Nian never expected it.

He and Little Peanut were just under the skin, and they were targeted by the founders and designers.

By the time the three of them returned to the hotel, it was almost 12 o'clock.

The LCK is one floor away from the All-Star players and coaches, and the makeshift training room that Riot is building is right next to each other.

KKOMA hasn't slept yet, and although Little Peanut has transferred, he still looks a little cramped when he sees the former coach.

After all

In the past, I was reprimanded by the coach in the team, and I was afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, and the little peanut was also very beaver.

"Wanghu, let's go rest." KKOMA patted Little Peanut on the shoulder, "I have something to talk about with Li Nian." ”

"Inside" Little Peanut nodded, and ran away, her red hair shining in the dim light, "Brother Nian, I pray like the gods and hope that you will be safe." ”

KKOMA rolled his eyes and raised his fist to hammer the monkey, ", don't think that I won't be able to control you if you leave the team." ”

Little Peanut stuck out his tongue and slipped into the room, causing the fellow faker to curse, "What about the Coke you brought?" Han Wanghu! ”

Li Nian couldn't stop laughing.

Side by side with the future head coach on the rooftop.

"Hello, Kim Jong-kyun" kkoma took the initiative to reach out.

Li Nian also smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, future coach."

KKOMA handed Li Niangen a cigarette, and when he saw that he didn't confiscate it, he lit it himself, took a deep breath, and spit out the smoke ring comfortably.

"Are you surprised by my arrival?"

Li Nian leaned back against the balcony, supported the wall with both hands, and said with a smile, "It's really surprising, but it's actually reasonable." ”

"Oh? How to say." Kkoma wondered.

Li Nian has a straightforward temperament and has never liked to tell lies, "Adults, times have changed. ”

"From now on, it will be the era of IG."

KKOMA looked at Li Nian's eyes full of fighting spirit, and for a while he actually felt that his team members were glowing.

There is no suspicion of any cupping.

It's as if it's explaining a normal fact.

"Perhaps. I will also be there in this era. ”

KKOMA was unconsciously infected by someone's strong self-confidence, and he didn't even notice that the smoke burned to the yellow filter.

"But this time," he turned his head to look at Li Nian, "I won't show mercy to the All-Star, after all, we are still opponents." ”

Li Nian shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

"Firefox is also a good coach."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

The first handshake exchange happened to be filmed by a white female reporter with her hands on the glass of the room, and it was quickly posted online.

It happened to be daytime in China, and the major self-media that got the news reprinted the news on Twitter as soon as possible.

Public opinion is rapidly fermenting.

- Su Xiaoluo did not announce the candidate for head coach on the Internet, and he also had to learn from other clubs to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Trying to win the championship of the breath-holding competition, after all, the gold content of KKOMA is enough to shock the LPL e-sports circle.

Anti-bar brain holes, conspiracy theories, suspicions are flying all over the sky, and various types of posts are emerging in an endless stream.

"Brother Zui in the All-Star Darkness Chen Cang Tactical Secrets to LCK", "There are pictures and true images, the e-sports version of Mission Impossible, it turned out to be. 》

Many sanity fans don't want to believe it, and they have left messages under IG's official blog, wanting to know the truth of the matter.

Su Xiaoluo was in a hurry in the base.

I made a call to the other side of the ocean, but it was turned off all the time.

Under the fanning of people with intentions, things are getting worse and worse, as if there are signs of "Leak Door".

The young lady of the operation department was impatient and strongly advised Su Xiaoluo not to continue to hold her breath.

Easy to suffocate.

Ultimately.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of the same day, IG officially released the list of spring competitions, becoming the first team to determine the list of the breath-holding competition.

Su Xiaoluo's teeth itched.

"Overseer: kkoma."

"Coach: Mafa"

"Analyst: West"

"Top Order: Theshy/Duke"

"Jungler: Fly"

"Mid Single: Rookie"

“adc：JackeyLove”

"Support: Baolan"

After the list was revealed, an uproar quickly set off online.

"IG's lineup, it's going to heaven!"

"The moment I saw KKOMA, I was stupid, Brother Zui won the MVP of the year that day, I'm afraid it's really going to become a reality."

"This All-Star is fun, my own head coach is on the other side, and Brother Zui doesn't give the new coach a disadvantage."

"Welcome to LPL!"

When he got up the next day, it was already noon, and Li Nian first pulled the drowsy theshy up and went to the restaurant downstairs to fill his stomach.

The LCK team also arrived yesterday, and at this time they have not adjusted their state jet lag, and the two elders are still sleepy and eating hamburgers.

The LMS people arrived early, and Karsa was still chatting and laughing with their division's meritorious Bebe.

This is the only remaining bloodline of the Doudi of the S2 Assassination Star, and the owner of the skin 'Izawa Forcebi, the King of Silliness'.

Of course, for some spectators, Bebe's most impressive scene was when the World Championship operation cannon was crouched in the grass of Uzluthian and sent back to the spring with eight shots in one second.

As soon as Casa saw Meiko enter the restaurant, his eyes lit up, revealing his signature Kasa star.

Then he rushed straight over.

"It's over, Hong Haoxuan is here." Meiko muttered that he had been in a good relationship with the team in the EDG base during this time.

Every day, he calls his two-dimensional paper wife, and the dormitory room is full of various figures.

It's ridiculously expensive.

In the weekday training competition, the pronunciation of the Wanwan dialect is also particularly easy to deviate all the players.

Especially Khan, who was originally rotten in Chinese, was led astray by Karsa, and the two took turns bombing Meiko's ears.

Sick of it!

"Don't come here!" Meiko hurriedly backed away, causing Karsa's eyelids to jump, and her head was full of question marks.

"Shall I go?"

He did leave, but he came to Li Nian's table, and he was familiar with his face, which can be regarded as a noodle base.

In the 'Internet Addiction Cessation Squad', Karsa and Li Nian are poor every day, and the most chatted in the group belong to these two goods, which made the factory director who didn't like to speak cry and laugh, and directly blocked the two.

outcome

Karsa ran to her team and took over his mantle.

Originally, Karsa was a true fan of the factory director, but after being fooled by Li Nian, he also became the pillar of the black fan leader.

He is also considered an elderly person in e-sports, and he has to leave the competition area halfway through his career just to chase his dreams and make money.

Ed Zhu.

It's just too much.

"Brother Mouth, all-star pinch lightly." Karsa took the initiative to pour Li Nian a cappuccino.

"Don't disgust me" Li Nian hurriedly retreated in disgust, and the group scolded him, and when they met at this time, they licked their faces and asked him to lighten them.

It's really a heavy attack online, and a stroke of instigation offline.

"You know," Karsa's eyes burned, "Although the Wild Core and the Hunger Strike Flow have been slashed, I'm afraid that you will collapse my family's military training." ”

Theshy understood, his eyelids jumping.

Turtle son!

Do I use jungler catch? In front of you, you can press the tower of your single ziv can't get out.

Li Nian stretched out his hand and mouthed at theshy, whose eyes were full of shark intent in his eyes, "I don't care about the order, go to Brother shy." ”

"Brother Shy"

Before Karsa could say a word, she saw a girl next door timidly running to theshy and asking for a group photo.

"Nei Li Nian will help me take a picture."

Theshy blushed, took the pink rabbit ear cap handed over by the female fan, took off her glasses and placed them on the table.

Li Nian was stunned.

Before he could react, Theshy had buttoned his hat to his head and covered his face with his hands.

After the group photo, the female fan shook hands with Li Nian, and then ran away with a smile on her face.

"Ahh

That little sister

It's simply a paper man's wife who broke the dimensional wall!

He was speechless as he looked at the watch that he could buy an OMG.

"It's time to go," Vincent walked up to the crowd with his coffee, "It's a rare opportunity to come to Los Angeles, today happens to be the day of the opening of Riot headquarters, are you going?" ”

Wang Tsai couldn't wait, and hurriedly raised his hand, "I'll sign up!" ”

Not far behind, Uzi wrapped Tucker in his mouth and shouted, "Take me one." ”

The others didn't have any opinions, and after a few people filled their stomachs, they sat in front of the Riot company's shuttle bus with their blue schoolbags on their backs.

"I'm curious, will Riot employees be scolded by their supervisors when they go to work to play League of Legends?" As he walked on the road, Li Nian asked.

"Play as you like!" Vinson explains, "In order for employees to be open-minded, there are no rules and regulations of outside companies. ”

After the two talked, LPL Zhongfu came to the office building of Riot, which was extremely empty and many times wider than the studio in Shanghai, after all, Fist can also be regarded as a few words of wealth.

Li Nian entered the glass door and was greeted by the giant statues of Anne and Tibbs, the giant bear was extremely fierce, it seemed that he could pinch the bear with one hand, and maybe he could even piggyback on King Gigi.

There are a lot of people visiting today, and many tourists are still jumping in the tour hall wearing Timo green hats.

"We still have a lot of these statues, the Warden of Hammerstone and the Titan of the Deep are in the pool outside"

Vinson acts as a tour guide, and he knows Riot China for several years before returning to Riot's Shanghai office.

"A lot of it was created spontaneously by the community," Vincent pointed out of the glass wall, "There's a DIY factory there, you can do it yourself if you like, it's all free." ”

Li Nian followed Vincent's finger and looked over.

The factory opens open to the eye and houses a variety of equipment and materials.

It's better to say it's a factory than a small workshop.

There are also players and staff inside, wearing work aprons and creating new statues.

"You can also try your hand at crafting," Vincent laughed, "and if you make it successful, Fist won't be stingy with rewards." ”

Uzi squinted his eyes and asked, "What will be rewarded?" ”

"It will recharge the corresponding bonds on your US account." As soon as Vincent's words fell, he heard Uzche's voice.

For the pros, bonds are really not very useful.

On the super number of Hanbok, all heroes and all skins.

Bonds may not be as useful as the essence, but at least you can use 1w5 to draw two skins, which may be able to grow a dragon blind.

"This is the RP gallery of the Community Cultural Gallery."

There were various stick figures hanging on the wall, and various genres gathered together, and one of them attracted Li Nian's attention.

- Yasuo, the big head, 1/9/0, and a level 5 hero proficiency icon on his head.

The most sassy thing is.

I also wrote below in English, 'Death is like the wind, always with me.' ’

"Jane is proud of Yasuo's zero bar ten to me." Li Nian patted Uzi's shoulder, "This ID is very much in line with your temperament." ”

As the founder of 'Reward Yasuo', Uzi has a mysterious confidence in Yasuo.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and when I looked back, I was worried about the canyon. ’

"This ID is good," Uzi's eyes lit up, "Go back and give me a name change card, I'll change it to this double row with you!" ”

Li Nian hurriedly retreated, "Retreat, retreat!" ”

Vincent is also used to being naughty with the players, after all, everyone is not very old, and it is normal to play with flowers.

"Finally found," Meiko perched on one wall.

Li Nian took the opportunity to look over.

It is a group photo of EDG winning the cup at the S5 Mid-Season Invitational Tournament.

"We have that too."

The night was also found - a photo of WE winning the first world championship in the first professional league on IPL5.

That is, the predecessor of LPL.

Strictly speaking.

This is also the first time that the all-Chinese class has won the championship.

"These photos hanging on the wall are more historical, and by the way, yours have also been made, and it has not been long since they were hung."

Li Nian and Theshy also saw pictures of themselves on the walls.

Not only that, but there is also a whole picture of the bird's nest spliced together by three foam boards - the scene of the 6W audience raising the IG cheering card and the team flag is vivid.

The following notes:

"A dragon from the Ancients,"

This is Riot's Wall of Honor.

The champion of the S1 Internet Cafe Tournament is FNC, and then TPA, SKT, and SSW

Photos of all the official champions of the tournament when they won the trophy are kept here.

Uzi was speechless one after another, habitually gnawing his nails, and due to the large number of people in the exhibition hall, the hot atmosphere once again made him turn into a red-faced Guan Gong.

Firefox patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "There will be." ”

"Maybe"

The second floor is not a public exhibition area, but an open office area for Riot employees, and Vincent leads everyone upstairs with their cards.

Li Nian finally understood what it meant to be open-minded.

Even the 5v5 vP battle zone is equipped! There are still employees who team up to play chicken during working hours?

What a fairy office environment this is!

"Bob, if you don't pull the gun again, I'll consider farting with my ass in your face." The big man angrily scolded his teammates around him.

"Oh, Designer Thomson, you can't do this to me, the death replay shows that the other party locked my head with two shots in a row with an 8x mirror AK." The man known as Bob drops his headphones and tries to defend himself.

"Damn anchor 'Douyu, moyinnuomi', as a streamer, he actually blatantly uses modifiers," Thomson was extremely irritable and smashed his headphones on the computer table.

I'll go

Li Nianyu looked at the familiar figure, and his body couldn't help but shudder—the tattoos all over his body impressed him.

Exactly met at the bar last night.

As if sensing that someone was watching, Thomson turned his head and happened to meet Li Nian's gaze, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He glanced at Vincent again and smiled, "Vincent, are these your guests?" ”

"Yes my friend," Vincent smiled and hugged Thomson, "both players from the LPL division." ”

While the two were talking, Li Nian hid sideways behind theshy, afraid of being arrested on the spot.

Don't be noticed by the designer.

There is a way, what you are afraid of.

Thomson continued, "I seem to see the most valuable player in this championship, Vincent, and I would love to meet him. ”

Vincent raised his eyebrows and signaled that it was okay, but when he turned around, he didn't see Li Nian.

When he looked around, Thomson had already picked someone out who was hiding in the shadows.

"Look who this is, it's nice to see you again, my friend." Thomson bites the word friend very hard.

pity

In front of this designer, the bedroom Uzi can only be regarded as a fat tiger with no combat power at all.

Wang Zai, who couldn't understand English, didn't know what was going on, so he saw that his teammates were ganked, and he wondered why Li Nian was so well-connected.

You even hooked up with a designer?

The legendary esports courtesan?

"Hello, Designer Thomson." Li Nian smiled very awkwardly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the world was really small.

Cheap little peanuts too!

Vincent also wondered why Thomson, who had always had a bad temper and disdained to deal with people, suddenly became interested in a professional player.

"I'm going to take you on a tour of our art department." Thomson's hearty voice rang out.

Lexy is also working diligently as a translator next to him.

When the other team members understood what had happened, they all laughed, and theshy also gave a thumbs up, "Brother Nian, it's greasy!" ”

It's more like an art department than a studio.

Various sketchboards and hero designs are displayed on the museum shelves, and when I walked to Thomson's station, the electronic sketchboard still had the first draft of the new hero Zoe that appeared in version 7.23.

"Guys, look at this great work." Thomson proudly said, "My design will make him the greatest mage hero in the mid lane, like the feeling of holding a 98k headshot." ”

Li Nian is also a big girl on a sedan chair - the first time.

Zoe's first draft is on a black background, with dark blue hair and unruly eyes, a bit like the North Star.

But around the yellow ribbon

But it gives people a strong sense of pulling, like a little Nazha who has just jumped out of the lotus.

Infys listens.

"Thomson, you stupid groundhog." A familiar voice sounded, and Li Nian looked back, it was Chunli, the designer director of the fist.

He used his hairline to show his status at Riot headquarters.

You don't look like a good person!

- Sharp review from theshy.

"Damn." Thomson scolded secretly, "Mr. Chunli, I think we should discuss how to weaken Knife Girl. ”

He tilted his head, "This must be interesting." ”

Chun-Li greeted the team with a smile and said, "I think you should go collect Zoe's stats, she's scary." ”

He added, "I'd like to see your feedback by next week, or I'll consider asking you to work as a clerk in a nearby store." ”

Thomson's tiger body was shocked, and he completely lost the domineering appearance he had just now.

"See you again." Chunli calmly stretched out her right hand, and Li Nian looked carefully.

The right index finger is mutilated.

But the last time they recorded the skin's request, they saw it.

The other team members also saw Chun-Li for the first time, and after noticing this detail, they also didn't say anything.

Vincent introduced to everyone as usual, "Chun-Li's identity is not only a Riot designer, but now she has purchased an NB team from the lpl and changed its name to FPX. ”

joked, "You can call Boss Li." ”

It turned out that the team's brainlessness and displeasure continued to stay in the team, and the stateless contract of the mid-laner expired without renewal, and the dean of GT was introduced, Jin Gong.

The coach also dug out the white crescent of the original DAN team to form another new army in the lpl.

Chunli bowed, "Everyone will be competitors in the future, and I won't show mercy." ”

He looked at Li Nian, "I will continue to pay attention to you." ”

Li Nian licked his lips and completely froze.

You go weaken the knife girl!

I'm not called Irelia, why are you staring at me!

But he suddenly remembered

What to fight first against Knife Girl?

Hit her in the mouth!

Yes, yes, yes.

I'm stupid, really.

Vincent showed his chattering attributes, and he also chattered non-stop on the road.

"Chunli was the fourth in North America at that time, known as the first barbarian king in North America, we have the highest score here is him, the boss is also called Tedamir, these two people compete every day, and as a result, the barbarian king father and son bureau, the boss is abused to death."

"Awesome!" Li Nian knew these things, FPX won the championship in his previous life, and in order to promote the skin, he deliberately opened a live broadcast to blow up his identity.

But

The absence of an index finger on the right hand will inevitably affect the activity of the mouse, so can you get on the fourth in the United States?

"This is also a model of cross-border employment in our company, he was studying electrical engineering at the time, but he didn't expect to join the company as a code farmer at the beginning."

Li Nian was a little surprised.

Electrical engineering is a big category, many schools learn strong and weak electricity, and programming will not be left behind, which is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades major.

However, the electrical engineering of Shanghai Foot Pain University, formerly known as the Department of Electrical Engineering, can only be said to be thunderous from the well-known alumni.

After a stroll around Riot headquarters, the team members hurried back to the hotel to pick up the souvenirs given by Vincent.

The temporary training rooms in each competition area have been set up, and the sound of 'Xiba' slapping the table can be heard from time to time in the LCK training room next door.

made Li Nian think that Brother Gongzi was next to him.

When I looked through the gap, I realized that it was 'South Korean Death Declaration', and the 2-meter-tall rat king Pary who was good at boxing.

"Grouped out"

Firefox distributed the grouping information to the players.

This all-star division of the 8 tournaments into two groups, A and B, LPL and North American LCS, Southeast Asian GPL and Brazil CBOL are Group A; LCK is in the same group as the European LCS, LMS and Turkish TCL.

The top two teams from each group will continue to play the semi-finals through BO3 for a chance to advance to the final BO5.

In contrast, the LPL's signing luck is really good, there is not 1 one in the group who can play, and the viewers who were infected by the optimistic family with the optimistic virus have already booked tickets for the LPL finals.

"Why do you say it's a good sign." Uzi laughed at himself as he and the IG players watched the draw in the break room at the same time.

At that time, he said that fan behavior has nothing to do with the team, and as a result, after the RNG top 4 was eliminated, this became a permanent meme in the LPL division.

Rational powder has become a permanent black material!
