This result was not even expected by EDG itself, and the boss, Edzhu, called the CEO of the alliance that night.

"It's all for the league, EDG hasn't had any good results in international competitions over the years, and it's time to give other teams a chance."

"The current LPL urgently needs to be performed, isn't it?"

Jin Yibo admonished earnestly.

"We EDG can't get results? No matter what, it's better than IG, right? ”

"What is the configuration of IG, three newcomers, Duke alone has major tournament experience, can they perform better than us in the continental competition?"

Edju was not happy.

Such a reason is obviously not convincing to him.

From a commercial point of view, it is one thing to prove the strength of his own team, after all, the EDG shooter position in the summer tournament has been strengthened, and the overall strength of the spring tournament has definitely improved by a notch, in this case, he can't figure out why EDG's place will be topped by Xiaoxiao IG.

It is reasonable to fight for the quota back.

Edzhu didn't care about any demeanor, and he violently output on the other side of the phone, exerting pressure.

"It's useless for you to look for me, the announcement has been issued, it is impossible to change it, as for the statement, you go to Su Cheng, this is the result of my comprehensive consideration with him." Jin Yibo was forced to have no choice but to move out of Su Cheng.

Ed Zhu was stunned, "Su Cheng? What does he mean? ”

If that's the case, it's going to be a bit tricky.

Is it because of a group of former classmates and friends of IG?

Or does this current ranking player in the LPL region think from the bottom of his heart that their EDG can't shoulder the responsibility of going to the continental competition?

……

……

EDG base.

In the evening, the lights were bright, and everyone gathered in the training hall to wait anxiously for the results.

They themselves are preparing for the continental competition, and even the factory director has taken the lead in studying the LCK opponents next door, only to suddenly tell them that the continental competition is not needed? This huge gap has made the entire EDG panic.

Finally.

General Manager Abu walked out of the office.

"How's it going?" The factory director hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Hikatsu, Scout, and Meiko also came over, "It's shady, right?" Is there a clear answer? ”

Iboy is the most concerned, he feels that his talent is much higher than the twin star of the same name next door 'JackeyLove', and EDG is a giant, so there is no reason to be replaced by IG.

Iboy is looking forward to the scene where he will go to the Intercontinental Games and sweep the LCK to achieve great things.

"The result of the alliance CEO discussing with the orange god, there is a clear answer that there is no way to change it, as for the statement...... We have been thoroughly studied, the results of the competition are not good, and the league is not optimistic. ”

Abu was also helpless.

He didn't expect it to be like this.

Recently, the popularity of the continental competition is extremely hot, and the sponsors of the club are looking forward to the team can achieve good results on the international stage, so as to maximize the advertising effect, which involves tens of millions of wealth, and even the follow-up potential value of fame and traffic is immeasurable.

At the moment, the club can't even enter the door of the continental competition, which is unacceptable to everyone.

"What do you mean?" Mingkai was surprised.

Meiko also said: "It should be that the league specifically asked him for his opinion, after all, the intercontinental competition, still led by Snake, they are 3:0 SKT, which is the biggest guarantee of LPL, and the orange god plays steadily, we can say that we are naturally one point ahead of the LCK, but even so, it makes no sense to let IG replace us." ”

"I see, he's aimed at us, on the surface, he is high-sounding, but in fact, he is biased towards the old buddies before, we can play with our feet in a team like IG, and we are 2:1 in the regular season, no matter how you look at it, it's all shady." Iboy was very upset and said indignantly: "I really think that if I win an MSI, I can do whatever I want, right?" ”

debuted at the same age as Su Cheng, Zhuyu was in front, and he had long regarded the other party as an opponent and target that he would surpass in the future.

The team he is in is a veteran giant in the LPL, with a better configuration of teammates than the other party, and now the summer game has ushered in the version of ADC, especially to assist Meiko soft auxiliary debut, it is not good to expect him to start a group, but it is not good to count on him to protect ADC, Tian Ye is too good, the time and place are favorable, isn't this the version born for him?

"I think he was afraid of losing to us later, so he deliberately took advantage of his current scenery to put us together." Iboy became more and more angry and went straight out of the conspiracy theory.

"Su Cheng is not such a person." Ming Kai glared at Iboy, he felt that this kid had swept all the way since his debut, and he was a little unable to recognize himself.

"I'll go find him."

Ming Kai thought about it for a while and decided to drive himself for an appointment.

"I'll go too!" When Tian Ye heard this, he hurried to follow.

Ah Guang is also very positive, "Take me one!" ”

The teammates are gone, leaving only Scout and Iboy.

Abu has already accepted his fate and did not follow, the alliance has already issued an announcement, although there are a lot of doubts on the Internet, but if they let EDG replace IG, it will only cause greater repercussions, and the most important thing is that this kind of thing will seriously affect the official prestige.

As soon as the fans made a fuss, the official immediately slapped themselves.

Well, in the future, whenever the controversial system is released, which fan will come to make trouble if it is unhappy, if this is the case, will the LPL still be able to do it?

……

10:30 p.m.

Su Cheng sat opposite Ming Kai and a few people at a Haidilao hot pot restaurant downstairs.

"What do you think about the continental competition?"

Ming Kai doesn't beat around the bush, and asks directly when he orders a good dish.

"On the one hand, it has been thoroughly studied, and on the other hand, it is also because you have recently started to transform, and there is not much time left for you, and the old-fashioned system of double C trust in the later stage of operation cannot win the LCK."

Su Cheng did not expire and said calmly.

"But......" Ming Kai was a little unwilling.

"Instead of taking the super high risk of rolling over, you should concentrate on improving and prepare for the playoffs later."

"Transformation is a good thing, but success doesn't happen overnight, you are improving, and others are also improving."

Su Cheng's words hit the nail on the head, which made the three EDG brothers fall into deep thought.

The first intercontinental tournament is so grand, it is not a child's play, audiences all over the world pay wide attention, the most important thing is that the four teams go out together, who loses is embarrassed, LPL audiences will not be used to it, don't see how good it is before the battle, once you really lose the game, especially if you lose to LCK, all the time overwhelming abuse will follow.

That's why some players play with the spirit of 'I'd rather do nothing than make mistakes.'"

The cost of making mistakes is too great.

"Okay, you're right."

"It's about the honor of the division, and the capable will go out, since you have strongly recommended IG, we have nothing to say."

"That'...... I wish you all the best and win the continental races! ”

"We're not going to be soft when we come back to the playoffs."

The three of them also came to their senses, and they couldn't be clearer about the recent state of their team.

Even if they went to the intercontinental competition, except for the MVP, none of the other three LCK aces is easy to gnaw, and they have also watched the recent LCK games, and each other's state is indeed not at the same level.

"Let's eat."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but speaking of which, you kid is in MSI, it's really beautiful."

"3:0SKT, envy doesn't come ......"

During the hot pot dinner, several people also began to reminisce.

Usually busy, they all go home separately during the holidays, and when they come back, they will devote themselves to the summer competition, and they have never had time to get together privately, which is a hard free time.

……

Following.

The LPL Summer Tournament, the journey of the regular season, was suspended.

What followed was the growing popularity of the continental races.

On the Internet, starch is making trouble every day, and LPL's official blog has also been frequently blasted and pressured by fans, but later, the news about Su Cheng's proposal to let IG go out together was exposed on the Internet, and starch stopped.

Although there are also a lot of criticisms, there is no doubt about the weight of the first person in today's LPL, the 17-year-old double champion, has not tasted a defeat since his debut, and defeated his old rival SKT 3:0.

There was not much turmoil in the back, and Ming Kai also stood up to speak out, and a lot of starch also calmed down, and the follow-up eyes of the whole network were focused on the upcoming Intercontinental Championship.

It is about the honor of the two major regions.

In a sense, the continental race is almost a benchmark for the 'World Race'.

After all, the world's first and second divisions are LPL and LCK, and each of the two divisions sends four teams representing the highest level of the region, and the gold content is naturally self-evident.

"I must win the championship!"

"Fight side by side, dry smash LCK!"

"MSI we all won, the orange god led the team, naturally one point ahead, I don't know how to play the LCK?"

"I hope IG doesn't drop the chain."

"IG can enter the Intercontinental Competition, I really should give the orange god a kowtow, I don't know what Manager Su thinks."

"What will Manager Su's reaction be when he sees the orange god? Want to see it! ”

“……”

In the midst of countless voices of anticipation.

It's July 6th.

The Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall was overcrowded and full.

The schedule of the Intercontinental Championships is very tight.

For a total of 4 days, there will be 6 BO1 matches per day, and the group stage will last for 2 days, which means that each team in the three major regions will need to play two BO1 games, and the final region with the highest total points will directly advance to the 'finals'.

"Lightning Wolf, come on!!"

"This is our home turf, the throne of the king of Asia, it must be ours!"

"LPL is invincible!"

"Orange God kills the master, punches the LCK, kicks the LMS!"

"It's done!!"

"There are oranges in the East, who is competing??"

"LCK rush, sweep the LPL fiercely, wash away the MSI shame!"

“……”

All the fans at the scene were cheering loudly for their own competition area.

14:00 p.m.

The competition is on.

The first.

JT, the inferior horse in the LMS division, will face off against the LCK superior horse SSG.

In the game that seems to be no suspense from the outside world, the audience in Wanwan Province is cheering for the players in their own competition area passionately, and the words such as "hey", "ah" and "locomotive" sound like motherly words, and many LPL viewers feel that there are 10,000 ants crawling in their hearts.

"Don't call it, okay?"

"The middle single row is a real eye, ahhhhhh

"Haven't you ever seen anyone play?"

"Wait a minute, our general OG will come on stage, and see if you can still scream."

"Thinking too much, Orange God is playing KT today, and I don't have time to take care of LMS, let the second brother IG go."

"The big battle KT is the main event."

“……”

The audience of LPL is really bored to watch, and they can't help but discuss with each other.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that this first BO1 turned out to be an unprecedented bladder game, and the two sides were stunned for 53 minutes before it ended with SSG's victory.

Backstage, LPL lounge.

Four teams of LPL gathered together.

With the end of the game, the spacious room also sounded the sound of gossip.

"JT is in good shape." Kandi couldn't help but say, "Although this field is not good, but the middle and lower are quite fierce, and it dragged on for 53 minutes." ”

"That's it, Ann is too cautious, just JT's jungler, I use foot veil, my evaluation is, weak, don't pay attention." King Ning said very conceitedly.

However, JT jungler is a little weak.

After all, it is only an inferior horse of the LMS, and it is not the elite of the LMS division in terms of player configuration.

"FoFo in the middle of the lane must pay special attention, this player is very strong on the line, but the awareness is not very good, easy to grasp, write it down." 957 is very careful, his personality is calm, and he is not as babbling as King Ning and Kangdi.

"It's to take care of it.,The incense burner version of the soft auxiliary priority has been raised.,This invisibly narrows the gap between AD.,The next road BeBe is not too strong.,But if you choose Xia Luo or EZ to stabilize the development in the early stage.,At most, you can press a little knife.,You have to take care of it.,At least you can't let him play comfortably.,This is JT's weak point.。

Brother Feng, the head coach of RNG, also wrote in a small notebook.

"Samsung's state today is not very good, but this team still has to be extraordinary, they play all the games very slowly, and the style is very similar to EDG, like to operate, the main focus is 'encroachment flow', there are risky things in the early and middle stages, they are not willing to do it, unless it is a dragon group that must fight, or the vision is very good, and there will be no flaws at all."

"And sometimes, they will give up the dragon group and go to steal development for Double C."

"You need to be on guard."

WE head coach, Redmi also said to the players.

Zhu Kai got together in the chaotic crowd and found that he couldn't speak, so he simply went to help Su Cheng make a pot of tea.

"What do you think?"

WE here, Xi Ye looked at Su Cheng, who was sitting and drinking tea not far away, and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, dozens of pairs of eyes in the room looked at each other at the same time.

"I see with my eyes." Su Cheng dealt honestly.

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter, and they all couldn't help but look at Su Cheng.

With this kid escorting, they are all down-to-earth.

"Don't make a fuss, talk to your family about it." Rookie stepped forward with a smile.

He cares a lot about this edition.

Ah Shui said in a slippery tone: "Yes, but my younger brother is not sensible, my brother orange doesn't speak, and the discussion of the big guy Balabala doesn't take the strongest double crown in history in his eyes, right?" ”

"You're right, this team, except for Samsung, needs to be studied, JT doesn't have to pay attention to it, a bunch of rabble, can't become the climate, their team coordination is very poor, although there are also some ways to operate, but in fact, many times it is ineffective operation, and I learned that people Samsung has a little skin."

"If anyone loses JT, kneel down directly to the LPL audience who bought tickets on the spot after the game."

Su Cheng said unceremoniously.

As soon as they heard this, everyone was laughing, but there was more or less pressure in their hearts.

No one can say for sure.

"As for the plan for Samsung, let's not discuss it first, let's talk about the MVP team, they play the jungler excavator stunt, nicknamed Cuzz disciple, Xiao Han digs, you have to take the initiative to attack this person, the more you want to defend, the easier it is for him to find an opportunity, the excavator can be Ban or not, but if you give me Brother Ning Wang's whole pig sister Zack or something, it's still Ban."

"And ......"

Before the game, Su Cheng also studied the MVP team.

All the members of IG, including Duke and head coach mafa, listened to Su Cheng's advice with serious faces.

Not much.

The staff informed that all IG members took the stage.

For a while, the coach left with the players, and in the area where IG was located in the room, only Chris and Su Xiaoluo were left, and no one from the players and coaches of the rest of the team was willing to approach them, looking lonely.

Su Xiaoluo saw Su Cheng looking at him and showed a reluctant smile.

Chris also looked embarrassed.

"What's that, Brother Orange, have you been talking about it for a while? I'll pour you tea. Chris was very eye-catching, and seeing that the atmosphere in the spacious room was a little awkward, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and took the teapot from Zhu Kai's hand.

Su Xiaoluo was a little nervous when he saw Chris's dog-legged face, but when he saw so many pairs of eyes in the room looking at him together, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, walked forward in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "That, cough cough...... Orange, it was wrong to be a brother before, a little blind, and I saw the real hero wrong. ”

"You two, I still like the way you were unruly before."

"Please recover?"
