"Damn, you bunch..."

Chen Ke swore that he really didn't want to laugh at first.

My brother was captured, where did I get the mood to laugh, and today I will focus on a sad atmosphere.

was engaged in this group on the barrage, Chen Ke couldn't hold back.

In addition, the teammates behind him were laughing one by two, which made Chen Ke laugh successfully.

Chen Ke can only say carelessly, he shouldn't keep staring at the barrage today.

Fortunately, after Chen Ke finished laughing, the fans also stopped.

Because at this time, the lottery in the live broadcast screen is about to start.

At this time, the lottery guest arrived on the stage, and it was the famous AD Wild Turtle Brother in North America.

At this time, the host was on the stage, talking about the rules of the lottery.

Others don't need Chen Ke to translate, after watching the competition for so many years, these rules must be known.

And the draw to enter the knockout stage is actually much simpler than the group stage.

Seeing that it was about to start, everyone's attention was on the draw.

Chen Ke couldn't help but turn his head and asked, "Who do you all want to fight?" ”

"It doesn't matter, you can beat anyone."

"It's better not to have a civil war."

"Let's have a Korean team, I want to send the Korean team away as soon as possible."

“……”

The V5 players are quite confident, there is no way that the big daddy is here, and it is difficult to be confident.

Chen Ke also paddled in the group stage, and everyone knew that it was time for Chen Ke to play in the knockout stage.

However, the players, like the fans, don't want to run into a civil war.

When you are absolutely confident in your own strength, you naturally want to play in foreign teams.

Only by winning foreign teams can you increase your fans, and if the results of the world championship are all won by civil wars, there will definitely be people who talk about this.

Even if you want to fight a civil war and feel that you have met an acquaintance, you can't show it directly in the live broadcast.

Chen Ke glanced at the lottery, and really let King Ning say it.

Ning Wang has always said that he wants to play the Korean team, and he seems to be a little obsessed with playing the LCK team like Chen Ke.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Ning Wang saying this, when they were on IG before, they finally won two BO5 of the Korean team in the World Championship.

In the history of the LPL Team World Championship, it is considered a lot for a team to contribute two BO5 victories against the Korean team.

Some teams have encountered the Korean team so many times, and Bo5 has really never won once, and they are more filial than anyone else, and then they still put aside the all-Chinese class every day.

V5 successfully drew the DRX team.

This is also the only LCK team they can draw, and all four LCK teams have reached the quarterfinals, and their group stage is as consistent as ever.

Among them, T1 and both are the first in the group, this V5 must not be drawn, and the first group can only be drawn second.

The remaining two teams are second in the group, but DK and V5 are in the same group, and they can only meet in the final.

In this case, the only Korean team that can be drawn is DRX, which can be drawn, which shows that luck is still good.

As soon as this sign came out, all the barrage was "good sign".

Chen Ke's reaction was similar, it was not enough to open the champagne in advance, but everyone laughed a lot, and King Ning even applauded directly.

The reason why everyone thinks that it is a good sign is that DRX is easier to play is one thing, not the main reason.

To put it bluntly, the strength of V5, which Korean team is not a fight against you, fans will not be excited because of this.

The main thing is that after the DRX is drawn, it means that there is no civil war.

The two LPL teams themselves are second in the group, and the chance of V5 drawing the civil war is two-thirds, which is still quite high, and it's a good thing that you don't get it.

Knowing that the other two LPL teams can't pose a threat to V5, fans just feel that it's really not interesting to watch the civil war.

There are two LPL teams left, and EDG has been drawn, which is quite interesting.

Because these two teams are called each other by fans of the two countries.

One is China and the other is South Korean EDG, which has long given the impression that they are the kind of team that is good at fighting civil wars.

Moreover, these two teams are in the semi-zone with V5, and the winner will meet in the semi-finals.

In the other half, JD.com drew T1.

In the original timeline, the two teams met in the semi-finals, and this time they met before mentioning.

Four groups of competitions, three of which are China-South Korea battles.

For fans of the two divisions, this draw seems to be acceptable, and the attention is full all of a sudden anyway.

There is really nothing to be done in the European and American divisions, and this year is relatively bleak, with only one team from RGE entering the quarterfinals.

After watching the draw, there is nothing to analyze.

Anyway, Chen Ke is also quite satisfied with this draw, and there is a high probability that he can wear three South Korean teams in a row to win the championship.

For Chen Ke, who has always had a holiday with the stick, there is no better signing.

The Koreans also felt that it was acceptable, and let the weakest DRX fight V5 first.

There are two remaining groups of duels with LPL, and they are likely to win.

DK vs. RGE in this group of matchups, and they are not worried.

After all, RGE is not the G2 of the year, and it is not so easy to win the LCK team in the Bo5 competition.

If all goes well, the top four will be three LCK teams encircling V5.

I don't know if the encirclement and suppression can be successful, but at least there is something to say after losing.

LPL is only stronger than V5, or our LCK as a whole.

……

After the draw was over, each team began to make training appointments.

The other half of the zone, T1 itself is the best training target.

In the past few years, T1 has been very strong in training matches, and there are a lot of tactical systems.

The interpretation and understanding of the version is also the fastest, and if you play more training matches with them, you can always gain something.

However, the relationship between V5 and T1 is not ordinary stiff.

It's not enough to tear your face, at most it's a state of blacking each other, there is no communication at all, and it's impossible to make an appointment for a training match.

Anyway, there are three teams left, which is enough for V5 to play a training match.

The quarterfinals will not start until the 21st, and it will take three days to go.

One fight a day, Chen Ke and their one was on the last day, so their waiting time was a little longer.

Fortunately, the quarterfinals did not change places, and they were still held in New York, and Chen Ke and the others could continue to live in the current hotel.

But after the group stage, it was obvious that the hotel where the team was staying was a lot more deserted.

Half of the 16 teams went straight home, and of course it was deserted.

Anyway, Chen Ke and the others came together the next day, and they heard that the people of Taobo were going back to China.

The game played like this, and I was embarrassed to go out and play.

It is estimated that he will be photographed as soon as he goes out, and then he will be scolded on the Internet.

During this time, all the players can do is play dead and wait for the new season to begin.

I can't go out to have fun, so I naturally have to hurry back to China.

Chen Ke came out with King Ning and sent them off a little.

My brother seems to be in good shape, looking like he has adjusted.

When Chen Ke came over, his brother said with a smile: "Play well in the knockout round, and make an appointment when you go back." ”

"OK, you can go back and have a good rest."

Chen Ke nodded, he really didn't know what to say, so he could only say two official sentences on the surface.

People don't seem to care anymore, you snap over and give people a whole sentence: "Don't think about losing Vietnam", isn't this an appropriate mentality?

Mainly engaged in such a mentality, it seems that he can't earn real points, and it doesn't mean anything to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke just delivered it to the door of the hotel and watched the people get into the car one by one.

Anyway, according to his observations, the two people who seemed to be in the worst mood were the left hand and Guo Hao.

Originally, Chen Ke thought that Xiaotian was the one with the worst mood, and there was a high probability that he would want Yuyu, and he couldn't slow down at all for a while.

I didn't expect Xiaotian to look okay, but he couldn't stand it on his left hand.

After the left hand played this year, the blow was still quite big, and I already regretted not leaving the team this year.

I made up my mind to change the environment next year, and no matter what happens in the future, I will never lose to Vietnam with my left hand.

Guo Hao's poor mood here is understandable, and he has spent a lot of money this year.

Although I haven't bought anyone in a big deal, the double C salary is here.

Even if the left hand sacrifices a lot of wages, it is tens of millions of dollars.

There is also a small day, and the salary is quite high, and the big millions are wanted.

As a result, it became this forced pattern, so that Guo Hao really couldn't accept it.

The players went back on vacation, and he had to think about how to deal with it when he went back.

And for the team management, the transfer period is coming soon, and what to do is enough for him to have a headache.

……

The elder brother left, and also took away Chen Ke's thoughts.

That night, the whole V5 team went out for a hot pot.

It's quite simple to eat hot pot here in New York, and they found a hot pot restaurant with good reviews in New York, called "Second Hot Pot".

After coming in, I found that all of them were my own people, and Chen Ke and the others were all recognized.

But fortunately, no one came up to disturb them, at most they took two photos, and they didn't delay Chen Ke and them to eat.

This belongs to the mountain city hot pot, and the taste is really good.

After eating, a few people wandered outside for a while.

In a crowded place, there is no need to worry about any danger, and it is not so exaggerated.

Chen Ke and the others hadn't returned to the hotel yet, and the photos were circulating on the Internet.

In the offseason these days, it's time for everyone to be bored again.

Now in the domestic forum, in addition to the competition, it is to analyze the situation of the quarterfinals.

Then the whole V5 team went out to eat hot pot, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and finally something new.

Just go out for a meal, and you won't be scolded.

After the group stage is played and you are still the first in the group, it is normal to go out for a meal.

The focus of fans made Chen Ke completely unexpected.

"Turtle turtle, Taobo was photographed at the airport, and V5 was photographed at a hot pot restaurant."

"Why don't you bring it to Taobo when you eat hot pot, is it because they don't like to eat it?"

"To be honest, the competition is going to be in a few days, so you still have to pay attention to your diet."

"This hot pot restaurant, at first glance, I thought it was in China."

"No, what temperature is it in New York now, why is Chen Ke wearing shorts and short sleeves, and Ning Wang wearing a down jacket?"

"The two of them are in different seasons, which is really outrageous."

"The temperature in New York is not high now, and Chen Ke is wearing too little."

"It's really awesome, aren't you afraid of freezing and cold?"

"There's no way, Chen Ke specializes in Koreans in the game, and it's obvious that this person is more resistant to cold."

"Awesome, born with a cold-resistant physique!"

“……”

The most discussed thing is Chen Ke's dress.

I didn't feel anything at first, but looking at the clothes of the other people in the V5, it felt a little wrong.

Basically, they all wore coats, and the most outrageous thing was that Ning Wang even put on a down jacket.

He was still walking next to Chen Ke, so the contrast was obvious.

Ning Wang doesn't look at people who are tall and big, but he is a little weak, and he was always prone to fever and cold when he was in IG before.

I broke up after coming to V5, and I haven't talked about my girlfriend's health for a while, but overall it's still hard to return.

Generally, if you are relatively weak, you will be a little afraid of cold.

King Ning is afraid of the cold on the one hand, and Chen Ke is indeed wearing less on his side.

In addition to his good physical host, Chen Ke felt really comfortable with the [constant temperature] talent that he brushed out through the red temperature detector last time.

Even if it is cooling down here in New York now, it is still quite cold outside, and Chen Ke doesn't feel anything when he goes out.

In addition, the temperature is not very exaggerated, it is only late October.

When they came, there were still more than 20 degrees, and the maximum temperature of the recent cooling was about 10 degrees, but the breeze felt a little cold.

If it's really icy and snowy, Chen Ke will add clothes.

This kind of temperature felt unnecessary, and Chen Ke went out directly in summer clothes.

Chen Ke didn't feel anything, but fans felt a little cold when they looked at it.

In a hot pot restaurant, you say that you eat hotter and wear less to understand, and it is indeed easier to sweat when eating hot pot.

But many of Chen Ke's photos were taken when they were walking outside.

If it is a photo in a hot pot restaurant, King Ning will not wear a down jacket to eat hot pot.

Some female fans went directly to the official blog to leave a message, and the consciousness was to tell Chen Ke more, don't look back and get really sick.

There are still many people who are ridiculing more, and all of a sudden Chen Ke's cold-resistant physique turned out to be on fire.

There are even a lot of emojis in this area on the Internet, which makes Chen Ke happy.

The management also saw the messages of fans on the Internet, but they didn't take it seriously.

Because they have been together for two years, everyone knows what Chen Ke's physical condition is.

……

To Chen Ke's surprise, after more than ten hours, A-Ning came to Chen Ke and told Chen Ke that there were domestic brands that wanted to make an endorsement for him.

"Which brand?"

Chen Ke was a little surprised, because there were a lot of business activities and endorsements for him before, and Chen Ke is now a top e-sports player.

It's just that Chen Ke refused, and he asked A-Ning to help him refuse.

Today, A-Ning can come over and take the initiative to mention it, and Chen Ke also realized that this brand is estimated to be a bit of a problem.

A-Ning said: "Anta, and the price given is more appropriate. ”

Chen Ke nodded, this is indeed one of the best sports brands in China.

It's just that Chen Ke is very strange why they found him.

Anta doesn't seem to have much involvement in the field of e-sports, but if you want to say Li Ning's words, Chen Ke feels normal.

A-Ning guessed here: "I guess it has something to do with the cold-resistant physique that suddenly became popular, and Anta wants to use this point to publicize, isn't it going to be cold soon." ”

"Made, is this all right?"

Chen Ke was a little confused, it seems that Anta's marketing department has a ghost.

Anta wasn't interested in the e-sports field at first, and to put it bluntly, they felt like a sports brand, so I went to talk to those who sat and played games.

But Nike and Li Ning have invested, and after the end of Nike's contract with LPL next year, Li Ning will become a new sponsor.

If you can cooperate with Chen Ke, it can be regarded as disgusting to your competitors.

Nike also signed Uzi and Feike.

Think about e-sports as the official event of the Asian Games next year, people have won medals when they go back, and they go up to receive the award and wear your Anta medal uniform, what else is there to worry about.

Another important reason is that most of the fans in the e-sports circle are young people.

Nowadays, young people are quite supportive of domestic products, and this consumer group is still quite valuable.

So the plan was passed very quickly, and there was no resistance.

The staff in charge there also had a strong execution, and they knew they had to seize the heat of this World Championship.

It just so happens that the V5 schedule is here, and it is drawn with the Korean team, which can make them perfect publicity.

When Chen Ke wins the competition, he will go back and market directly, and the effect will definitely be quite good.

If the World Championship is over, even if V5 wins the World Championship, it seems that the effect is not as good as during the World Championship.

If you change people, they don't dare to gamble like this, because if you lose, the so-called cold resistance will become a joke, and friends will have to eat this wave of traffic.

Business warfare is often so unpretentious.

Those who can grasp this hot spot must know about the LOL circle and know Chen Ke's strength.

Coupled with the fact that V5 is an all-Chinese class, it is more suitable.

If you are teammates with Koreans, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to go out with a cold-resistant signboard.

"You see how you say it, it's not a waste of time anyway, you just need to agree to sign a contract."

A-Ning let Chen Ke decide for himself, it depends on whether Chen Ke wants to make this money.

Anyway, Chen Ke probably won't care about the public opinion issue of the official endorsement before the game.

Chen Ke thought about it, anyway, this will not affect anything, even if Li Ning becomes the sponsor of the alliance next year, it will not affect him to take this job, the mark on the team uniform during the game must be Li Ning's, and this will be negotiated in advance.

Chen Ke also feels that it is also good to endorse domestic brands.

Like other sports brands, such as Hongxing Erke and the like, they may not be unaware of this hot spot.

But that kind of is to do it in the live broadcast room at most, and it is impossible to ask Chen Ke to endorse it.

It's not that you can't afford to spend money on a spokesperson, it's just that the marketing budget is certainly not as large as those big brands, and it's unlikely that you will spend money on esports.

Chen Ke nodded directly and agreed, he felt that he was acceptable.

If Li Ning came to him, he couldn't agree to be killed, because Li Ning really didn't resist the cold!
