With one week left until the playoffs kick off, Snake prepares just like the rest of the team.

The training match was more intensive, and Snake did not dare to relax after the game on the 4th, although the record was good, but everyone was not sure of winning the playoffs.

This season is divided into East and West, and the playoff rules haven't changed much as usual.

The first place in the West still needs to win two knockout rounds to get the MSI spot.

As for who the opponent is, it is difficult to determine now.

"Lin Weixiang, is the knife girl fun?"

"It's fun."

Lin Weixiang replied to Liu Qingsong, ignoring the other party's 'ridicule', but asked Flando: "Holy spear, let's change positions, you come to fight AD, and I will be a single knife girl." ”

"This newly revised version of Irelia is so easy to play and more handsome to operate."

He couldn't stop smacking.

Flandor snorted, raised his arm and touched Chris beside him:

"Coach, there's something wrong with this man's mind."

Chris smiled and said:

"Recently, the version has changed frequently, and when it comes to Dao Mei, I look at TheShy's Rank record, and he is obviously practicing."

It's natural for Chris to think of IG as an imaginary enemy.

Despite beating IG in the last round, no one dares to underestimate this team.

Sweeping the east is full of gold.

The talent displayed by the tridents and their respective strong individual strength made many teams jealous, and the genius that cashed in on the talent was really terrifying.

Chris is worried that a player who will cash in his talent to 100% suddenly appears in IG 3C, which is almost the level of Li Jin.

To know.

After the last two teams played, IG seemed to be inspired to get stronger.

Li Jin, who was sitting in the middle, saw Chris's thoughts, and he drew everyone's thoughts aside.

"The practice time is too short, and the strength has to be tested, if you are curious about the new version of the knife girl, just play with Rank, Xuanjun doesn't need to delay the time to practice."

"Understood."

Flandor believed in Li Jin's judgment more, that is, he didn't take this information seriously.

Chris looked at Li Jin with some curiosity.

When the other party talked about IG, he actually had a feeling of being in his chest.

"Brother Jin, if you play IG, do we have anything to say?"

"Just fight normally."

"Don't put so much pressure on everyone, follow the regular season plan, and when you are familiar with this 8.7 change, you can play at a normal level."

Except for the stupid chicken, the other three have no experience in competitions.

Not to mention the ranking of the World Championships, I haven't even touched the floor.

With this in mind, Li Jin took the time to bring them a little chicken soup.

“……”

"Whether it's the first place in the East or the first place in the West, there are variables every time you go to the knockout round, if you only look at the strength on paper, you should award the trophy to Snake, after all, we have the best record."

"The mentality in the knockout round is very different from in the regular season, you get through yourself first. World Championship after World Championship, I've seen too many examples like this. ”

Li Jinwen smiled:

"In the past two days, Xiangzi, Qingsong, and Xuanjun, I see that you have practiced until two or three o'clock at night, and you are more roll than me, and your attitude is excellent, but there is no need to collapse so tightly"

"I haven't won a few playoff games since 2015."

Flandor changed her attitude of laughing just now, and said that his heart made him a little depressed, and he cheered up again, and said, "Brother Jin, this time is very important." ”

There is a chance to win the championship, a chance to enter the bigger stage.

Who wants to be the leader of the empty slashing group?

Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang came to "I am the same".

The stupid chicken was watching the play on the side, and shifted his gaze to Li Jin like everyone else.

Obviously, he is the backbone of everyone.

The stupid chicken squinted slightly.

It seems that the difference between koi and Sanghyuk has been discovered again.

Koi has more leadership than Sanghyuk, and if you rely on him at critical moments, it seems to be very down-to-earth.

There are achievements as a foundation, and there is a very important point, I am afraid that it is personal charm.

In the eyes of the stupid chicken, Li Jin always has a calm temperament, and when he is flustered, having such a person by his side can really make people settle down.

Flandor and the others also know and know that they are rookies.

But in just a few months, gathered around Li Jin, they have grown a lot.

In terms of Snake's current attention and number of fans, Lin Weixiang's performance is impressive enough when everyone is watching with a magnifying glass in every game.

Back then, at SKT, Hou Ye didn't serve Xianghe very much.

Stupid Chicken made a replacement.

If the current Lee Jin is replaced in the position of Sanghyuk at that time, will EZ Monkey be convinced?

Koi is more like a team boss.

It's more of a leader than Sang-hyuk.

Thinking about it, the stupid chicken secretly said, "Sanghyuk is sorry."

He was too influenced by Li Jin, and he would secretly say bad things about Sanghyuk.

Isn't this pure backstabbing brother?

He was stunned, and Li Jin chatted with Flandor again.

Zuo Wu and Chris have already done their psychological homework before, and the chicken soup is not less fed, Li Jin's words of encouragement now are similar to what Zuo Wu said, but the effect is very different.

Li Jin is not only a mouthful, but also the object that everyone relies on on the field.

In the discussion before the playoffs, everyone was open and honest, which eliminated most of the psychological difficulties and enhanced team cohesion.

Everyone's belief in attacking Msi is getting stronger and stronger.

The pre-war mobilization is already in place.

……

On the night of April 8th, the stupid chicken night tour snake team base, in the early morning, the moonlight entered the house. Looking for koi, koi fish have not yet slept, and when they enter the kitchen, the kitchen table cups and plates are empty, the sausage barbecue is crossed, and the leftovers are also covered.

Stupid chicken heated a barbecue, and Li Jin poured two cups of hot water.

Stupid Chicken proposed to open two buckets of beef noodles, but Li Jin refused.

"What's wrong, what's on your mind?"

"You guessed it, it's the message I received today, and it feels like I didn't do very well before." Stupid chicken is slightly melancholy.

Li Jin knew that he was talking about Li Guapi.

After defeating KSV 2-1, the barbecue booth lost to KT 3-1 in the second round of the knockout round, missing out on the third and fourth rounds, and lost the Msi spot in the LCK for the first time since 2015, ending a three-year absolute dominance over the division.

In other words, the barbecue stall is over.

Especially in the round of KT, after SKT won the first game, KT immediately replaced Rush and let the veteran captain Score appear.

The jungler surnamed B, who has been led by stupid chickens for a long time, has been engaged in research and development for three consecutive games, and has cut down 1/6, 1/7, and 1/8 of the sky-defying records respectively.

The Great Demon King was unable to support himself and watched the team be blown up.

Stupid Chicken has an excellent relationship with Li Guapi, so when he received a message from Faker that the Great Demon King wished him to enter Msi, Stupid Chicken's mood swings were so big.

Li Jin listened to him again.

"Wasn't I too ostentatious and too showy before, Sanghyuk was in a very bad situation at the time, and I should have been very disappointed in my heart."

"How can Zenjiu fight so outrageously."

"Sex male, you underestimate him too much."

Li Jin was relieved: "The messages you sent will only stimulate his fighting spirit." SKT's lineup configuration this season is not good, and even kneeling like that in the regular season, he can't get into MSI because he is tired. ”

"If he sulks, he won't encourage you."

"So, if you have anything to say, it's best to take the Msi champion and go back to him and talk to him, and invite him to have a drink."

patted the stupid chicken on the shoulder, Li Jin made a promise:

"After all, we're all good friends."

"You invite him to drink a bottle of Hallashan, and by the way, persuade him to confess early, and I will pay for the soju."

Looking at the rather generous koi, the stupid chicken finally couldn't hold back a smile.

You're so bad.

However, he was a little looking forward to it.

mentioned going back to South Korea, Stupid Chicken asked again: "Do you want Li Jin to go with me?" ”

"Forget it now, I've been there with you in your hometown of Daegu, wait for the summer competition, I'm going to take the world championship place."

"Ambitious."

Stupid Chicken praised: "Come, have a drink." ”

They touched it with a hot water cup, and the memory seemed to go back to the 2015 season.

"Still, there's a little bit of confusion."

"What?"

"You have been asking Sang-hyuk to confess, why are you still single, I heard Hyun-jun say that you are as popular as the LCK among the hostesses of the LPL. By the way, I asked you last time, and Sister Li Xianjing."

"Damn, you're really handsome."

Li Jin looked at his jealous look and smiled.

"Let me tell you, I don't have any feelings for those hostesses."

The stupid chicken scratched his hair innocently, feeling that Li Jin was not joking.

He also knew that someone had said that staying single was the secret of Li Jin's strength.

No distractions, or. Maintain hand speed.

He thought for a moment and picked up a piece of roast meat:

"The pinnacle gives birth to hypocritical advocacy, and the twilight witnesses devout believers."

Li Jin can be regarded as half-approving of stupid chickens.

They were eating and chatting, when they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

Zuo Wu opened the kitchen door, originally he was going to reprimand, dinner is not delicious, supper in the middle of the night!

Flandor and Liu Qingsong were caught stealing food last time, and he made a mess of the kitchen at that time, which made the chef Aunt Susan dissatisfied the next day.

The words of his reprimand were already in his throat, and the emotions were brewing.

At this moment, a face in the kitchen turned to look at him.

Zuo Wu's expression changed in seconds, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Jin, are you hungry?"

"Do you want me to stir-fry for you?"

"Don't, don't"

Li Jin hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't dare to compliment Zuo Wu's cooking skills.

The last time I ate the sixtieth nail he burned, my teeth were almost knocked out by the sand

This night, when the stupid chicken is touched, he can still find someone to talk to.

But a certain person in Seoul is lonely and can't find like-minded people.

thereupon

Hide on bush is back online.

……

On April 12, the first round of the LPL playoffs was played between RNG and WE.

In the face of the three heroes in the east, even if it is just the third brother, the 60e also have a bad premonition.

The sense of steadiness in the past is gone!

The WE players on the field fought tenaciously and finally won a small victory on RNG, retaining a bit of the defending champion's face.

"WE with koi can break out of the LPL and win the world championship."

"WE, who didn't have koi, fell in the first round of the playoffs."

After this round of the playoffs, the 60e discussed the most about the game rather than the course of the game.

After experiencing that feeling of falling from the clouds, the 60e's are more reminiscing about last season.

There was also a large number of people running to support Snake.

On the second day of the playoffs, BLG swept JDG.

By April 14, the competition site was packed.

Pig and Dog Wars!

When the Edgeworth Gate carnival arrived, RNG let one chase three, and then defeated EDG 3:1.

Seven sauces played two games, and they were happy to mention 1/8.

In the handshake session after the game, the little fat man who faced Saiwen Ancestor smiled.

The next day, the second brother in the east faced BLG in a six-in-four match.

These people who were retained from IM almost had an upset, and they were only one step away from letting two chase three.

RW had the last laugh.

IG vs. RNG in the top half of the semifinals, and Snake vs. RW in the bottom half.

The three heroes of the east are encircling the big brother in the west.

Four days apart in the offseason, the LPL forum fell into heated discussions, and the majority of those who supported IG and Snake accounted for the majority.

Inside the IG base.

While Coach Golden Pig was studying Snake, their match with RNG began on April 21st.

What many people can't imagine is.

RNG and IG won successive battles to a 2:2 draw, and in the Game5 life-and-death battle, the more experienced Edgeworth Gate defeated the invincible Eastern Big Brother with a 12:1 head ratio.

RNG fans who were waiting for the sword to shatter in advance suddenly found that the sword was not broken!

Everyone was stunned, watching the RNG fans in the player's seat carnival, and seeing Rookie on the IG side next door crying bitterly.

The knockout rounds have more brutal rules.

The pathetic IG can only accept this fact.

Su Xiaoluo in the background looked at the golden pig speechlessly, wasn't he studying how to fight Snake?!

As a result, RNG didn't even fight!

Nima's removal!

Remove it for me! Thorn with Golden State!

I had a trace of suspicion about the golden pig before, and now I directly stabbed him in the face with "unreliable".

Su Xiaoluo immediately shook the pot and made a phone call:

"Headmaster, there is something wrong with the Golden Pig's thinking, he is studying Snake, saying that he left a big move, but he didn't even see Snake's face."

"I didn't let it go."

"Yes, I think there is only the recruitment of koi, and the others are not worth trusting."

“……”

RNG's upset defeat to IG provoked the league restlessness.

The third brother can lift the eldest brother's table, and the second brother should be able to lift the eldest brother's table!

RW rush!

Slay the snake rebel is a hero!

For a while, the fans of the Avengers team climaxed.

On April 22nd.

RW takes on Snake.

As it turned out, fans of the Avengers were only happy for one day.

From five o'clock in the evening, only the cheers of the Snake fans remained in the Super Brand Mall.

It's less than eight o'clock.

The mid-laner koi cut down the super god record in two consecutive games, and Snake swept RW 3:0 to advance to the finals!

This round of Snake's state is quite terrifying.

The full team exploded with a pressure that could not be seen in the regular season, almost suppressing RW on the entire line, and the rhythm was led by Snake in all three games.

RW, who was almost overturned by BLG, was already in an unstable state, and was directly washed away when he encountered such a brave Snake.

The six-in-four and semi-finals made RW feel the intensity of one day and one place.

Road's command in BLG is not half a star away from Snake's godfather command.

The moment when the game ended.

The official awarded Li Jin the Spring Regular Season MVP after the game, and for a while, the momentum and public opinion were pushed to a climax.

"I thought Snake would win, but I didn't expect it to be a sweep."

"It's too strong, Brother Jin won't play in the playoffs, right?"

"Big B is unwilling to lose, if it weren't for Brother Jin himself, I feel that his bankrupt version of Koi is worthy of anyone this season."

"The scary thing is that I don't know how many things Snake still has."

"RNG is detached from IG as if it was killed, and the finals are exciting!"

“……”

There was a lot of chatting in the forum.

On the second day of the semi-finals, Snake set off for the 2018 Spring Finals venue, Chengdu Big Cube Performing Arts Center, just like the RNG next door.

……

South Korea, KZ base.

The South Korean Spring Tournament has a shorter schedule than the LPL, and KZ, who defeated AFS, has already won the LCK Spring Tournament.

On the 23rd, when Snake left for Chengdu, they were led by head coach Hirai in the base to review Snake's game again.

Smeb, Peanut, Bdd, Pray, GorillA, this lineup that is almost a replica of the Tigers back then, this time playing happy esports again.

And sang all the way to the spring championship.

It seems that in the era of the withering of barbecue stalls, half a tiger can also rule the LCK.

In addition to admiring the talent of these people, fans can't help but think of the 2016 Tiger team.

Looking at it at this time, I feel extremely terrifying.

The members of the Tiger team who were all in their prime at the time had to add a terrifying TheJin!

This topic is widely discussed on LCK's Inven forum.

I didn't know how strong TheJin was back then, but now I can understand it.

If the Tiger team is not disbanded, I am afraid that the Tiger Trifecta will be established now

"Brother Fan Xian, who do you want to win over there in the LPL?"

"Do you need to ask?"

Gorilla looked at BDD with a smile, "Of course it's RNG!" ”

Yes?!

BDD was surprised at first, and then smiled: "Isn't TheJin the most discussed, don't you want to get together with your old teammates at Msi?" ”

"Hey, you kid."

Smeb put his arm around Bdd's shoulder, "It's a good story, but it's not a good thing." ”

Little Peanut laughed.

The Rat King looked at BDD with appreciation: "Pu Cheng is very good!" ”

BDD waited for him next.

The Rat King continued:

"Young players can't have twilight, what they need is the courage to challenge everything."

"Even if the opponent is the fiercest tiger"

Gorilla agreed:

"Pucheng, I'm optimistic about you~!"
