Chapter 69: 2017 Intercontinental Championship, Grand Opening [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
[Almost, regular season champion, right?] Playing an RNG, you boast that he is in good shape today and has strong strength, that's right, the world's No. 1 top single is somewhat outrageous, right? 】
[There is also that picture of a bathing dog with a cannon, you are not allowed to see it! ] You are not allowed to look at it!! 】
[The emperor is angry and ruined...]
[Speaking of which, the continental tournament was held in July this year, EDG should be eligible to be selected, right?] Will the Buddha play then? 】
[After watching today's game, I'm really looking forward to the singles in Buddha and other regions, especially the singles in the LCK... Hopefully it won't disappoint me. 】
【……】
Continental races.
The full name is the 2017 League of Legends Intercontinental Series.
This is a brand new international event that Riot has been planning for three or four years, and officially announced this year.
It is also the third official international competition held after the S competition and the MSI competition.
There are a total of 13 participating competition areas around the world, which are divided into five major competitions.
Among them, the Asian competition in which LPL participates is the event with the highest gold content that has not yet opened.
Of course... This has nothing to do with the LPL division, but mainly with the other division that participates in the Asian competition - the Korean LCK division.
It's brutal, but that's the reality.
There are three major competition areas in the Asian Competition, namely: China LPL Division, South Korea LCK Division, and China Wanwan LMS Division.
In the three major regions, four representative teams from each region will be selected to compete against other regions in the form of unprecedented event rules, Tianji horse racing, etc.
In the LPL region, although EDG's results this year are very poor, after all, they have the status of a giant and the third place in the spring, so they have automatically qualified for the continental competition.
However, there is still about half a month before the opening of the continental competition, and the competition areas are just preparing silently behind the scenes.
……
Since the last time I played RNG, I used the nuclear system once, and the effect was good.
After that, in the EDG schedule, Xu Cheng will always arrange a run-in opportunity for the nuclear system.
Sometimes the performance is good, and sometimes there are some unexpected surprises.
After all, the four teammates had never played this kind of system before, and now the shortcomings of this EDG team are too obvious, and the bottom lane is a pain point that they can't ignore.
But overall, if you put aside the version... The effect is good.
The only thing EDG is worried about now is that if the version is not on the core when it comes to the upcoming S game, or it is not a version that is conducive to the road, what should it do?
No one can predict the future.
It's in the midst of such a tight and laugh-filled schedule.
Time passes.
The inaugural League of Legends 2017 Continental Series is finally here.
……
End of June.
The North American and European divisions and other western divisions and major wild card regions have announced their suspension and have begun to prepare for the continental competition.
LPL, LCK, LMS and other major regions have also announced their suspension in the past few days.
The teams that have been confirmed to participate in the competition are preparing intensively, actively holding meetings, and sharpening their knives at the same time.
Even the teams that didn't qualify for the competition started to get busy.
Each club takes turns to go to the four teams participating in the competition to exchange and learn, sparring tactics, including sharing some of the ultimates prepared by their own teams -
Some people may find it strange.
Only four teams have advanced to the continental LPL, so why are other teams joining in the fun?
Actually, there is no other reason -
Asian Match, just listen to the name, this is the competition of the entire region!
This event is not only about the honor of the individual team, but also about the honor and disgrace of the entire LPL region.
This is what sets the continental race apart from any other international competition.
It is also this intercontinental tournament for the first time, no matter how you shouted "foreign wars are united with the outside", it is actually an LPL division of internal strife, and it is truly a unity of heart and body.
Unite as one, work together, work together, and fight only for the honor of the Chinese division!
In addition, this year's S Tournament was held in China throughout the whole process, and even the official attached great importance to this intercontinental competition, and specially approved a large amount of funds to bring together the four participating teams a week early.
Living, training, eating, sleeping, and even healing games are done together.
It was also during this time that Xu Cheng met a lot of new friends and completely integrated into the big family of LPL.
……
June 29th.
Go to the venue of this intercontinental competition, Wanwan Kaohsiung on the night.
The training group was on holiday, and everyone played outside.
"Eh, I'm super, these fans and viewers are so talented, look at these pictures."
The incense pot crossed Erlang's legs, looked at the phone and was silly for a long time, and then passed the picture to others.
Everyone watched it in turn, and they couldn't help but laugh a little -
This is an emoji pack of this year's intercontinental race made by water friends in the post bar, and the three major areas of Tian Ji horse racing.
The LPL division is a group of horses: my soldiers are strong and strong, and I should be ashamed!
The LMS division is a group of mules: I want to follow the example of Tian Ji horse racing, or maybe I can fight!
The LCK is a group of supercars: this group of sand sculptures!
As soon as the comparison chart came out, the stark contrast in the strength of the three major regions, as well as the chain of contempt, all came out.
Audiences who are not familiar with the three major competition areas, when they see this picture, it is very rare to see the mussels.
"Speaking of this year's continental competition, we just need to pay attention to the LCK, what kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp is LMS, isn't it a pinch to beat them?"
After laughing, the incense pot was arrogant: "The little provincial team, ridiculous!" ”
"Good!"
"Well said!"
"That's right!"
"I just like Liu Shiyu, you look arrogant and domineering!"
"It's enough to pay attention to the LCK, as long as we win the LCK, we are the champions!"
A group of people bared their teeth and claws, full of ambition.
Xu Cheng, who was sitting in the shade with the factory director, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
"Big brother."
Ming Kai also smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "The pond of LPL is too shallow after all, although our system is progressing relatively slowly, I still want to see you gallop in international competitions." ”
"Now... Here's your chance! ”
"Oh?"
Xu Cheng picked up Bing Kuole and took a sip, looking at the factory director: "You are so confident in me?" ”
"I feel like you're more confident in me than myself."
"I'm not confident in you."
The factory director pointed to his eyes with a smile: "It's my vision, and I have confidence." ”
"Alright."
Stand up and pat the dirt on your buttocks: "Let's go, relax tonight, tomorrow... It's officially war! ”
Xu Cheng then stood up, stretched his waist slightly, looked at the sunny blue sky, felt comfortable, and suddenly there was an inexplicable blood boiling-
"International Races, ......"
"I'm looking forward to it, too."
……
Following.
There are four participating teams in the LPL: WE, RNG, EDG, and OMG.
Including IG, Snake and other teams that are about to go to Kaohsiung and bring together the strongest fighting power in the entire LPL region.
Six or seven clubs, dozens of people, stepped on the plane of Wanwan Kaohsiung, the venue of this year's continental competition.
The journey to the international races starts here.
