"That's right, if you want to stay No. 1, you have to keep winning, and I'm sure Reaper and SKT will always maintain their excellent record and form."

Jin Wen stabilized his mind and asked the last question with a smile: "Finally, I would like to ask the two of you, your record in this year's spring competition so far, you are still in a state of complete victory, do you have the confidence to continue to maintain it?" ”

"Of course."

"If we can, we'll keep winning and won't disappoint the fans who expect our victory."

Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang-hyuk's categorical answers caused the highest applause at the scene.

And in the time that followed, SKT did exactly what they said.

After the Chinese New Year, the spring competitions in various major regions around the world can be said to have officially entered the white-hot stage.

On the LCK side, SKT still maintained its due dominance in the regular season after winning LZ, and although the style of the new jungler Peanut is sometimes incompatible with this SKT team, it is clear that this is still a version of SKT.

At least they're adapting faster than the rest of the teams in the region.

From the end of January to the beginning of March, in addition to losing two small games, SKT won all three big games in the regular season, and the points and strong attitude have been pointed to the grand event MSI in the first half of this year.

In other divisions, LPLEDG is in a slight decline, and EDG, which has lost its backbone, has lost to RNG in the first half of the crucial season of S7.

RNG is as strong as ever, and it is worth mentioning that in addition to EDG and RNG, the ancient giants WE, which were not noticed by everyone before, shined in the LPL spring tournament this year.

WE, which has gradually improved the team last year, has used the poorest set of lineups to achieve results beyond cost performance.

The lower lane, who was once ridiculed as the brother-in-law of a beautiful man in South Korea, broke out at the level of genius AD in the LPL, and the jungler Condi is even the top jungler, with the steady 957 on the upper lane, and Xiye at the bottom of the middle lane, WE's momentum is almost on par with RNG.

This made countless ancient fans tearful, because the team is deep enough, WE is different from other teams, and has accumulated popularity at a very fast speed, becoming the most eye-catching 'upstart team' in various major regions around the world this year.

The changes in other regions are not too big, and teams such as G2 and TSM, and C9 are still the dominant teams in North America.

"So if we can play this year's MSI, I think WE is another opponent to watch out for, in addition to RNG."

At the end of March, the LCK Spring Season regular season has come to an end, and SKT is almost guaranteed to participate in the Spring Finals, so Kkoma included WE as one of their top opponents in the first half of the year.

Write the word WE on the whiteboard.

"I've watched a few video games of WE, and overall, I feel that this team doesn't have any obvious weaknesses, but the performance of the players actually depends on their personal state... In other words, maybe they'll have ups and downs in the big game? ”

Lee Sang-hyuk sat on the sofa and spoke about his feelings for WE.

"Their mid-laner is not as strong as the mid-laner, and I think the tournament may be a breakthrough for us."

Bae Jun-sik agreed.

Chen Yiqiu, who was next to him, heard this, and his eyelids jumped.

Although Xiye is nicknamed Sheila, it was a civil war, and if I remember correctly, this B is not pulled at all.

Especially against Faker, in terms of personal ability and performance, he can definitely be called a fierce tiger.

This is in stark contrast to his good friend Ming Kai.

"It's better to pay more attention to Xiye, don't be careless, in addition, RNG and Europe and the United States also have to pay attention, there are many strong teams on MSI this year, and if we want to prove our dominance in the new season in the international competition, we have to work hard."

"Yiqiu is right."

Kkoma nodded approvingly: "Of course, we can't forget the opponents in our own region, judging from the points status of this year's spring competition, I think LZ is still likely to be our last opponent in this year's spring final." ”

"So, guys, it's up to you whether you can win the first championship of the year."

"Don't let us study MSI's opponents here, and in the end we can't even go to MSI..."

"Hahaha, no, no."

"LZ, they're improving, but we're not weak."

"Coach, I'm already working on the horror game at Yiqiu's house."

The SKT crowd burst out laughing.

In their eyes, LZ is not fully developed, at least now, and the time when it is really strong should be in this year's summer race and the S race.

"Alright, let's start training..."

Kkoma clapped his hands and prepared to go out to get a glass of water.

But after just a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and looked back at everyone: "Tonight, the official preview of the original image of our champion skin will be announced, and don't forget to promote it on their respective social media when the time comes." ”

"Wow, is it finally here?"

"My champion skin, woo-woo."

"Can you hurry up, this S7 is almost halfway through, the champion skin hasn't come out yet, and the efficiency of the fist is really too low."

When everyone heard this, they immediately started to talk about it, and they didn't have the heart to train.

Since defeating LZ last time, they returned to the base and saw the original picture of the first version of the champion skin, they were not very satisfied, and communicated with Riot several times, and finally under Chen Yiqiu's strong recommendation, they made a version of the original skin that everyone liked.

Now that Riot has picked up the pace, it is expected that SKT's third set of champion skins will be available for pre-sale when MSI starts or ends.

Now that the spring playoffs are about to begin, the original picture is released, also to hype up the heat.

"Okay, train first, watch at night."

Kkoma was smiling and his modified eye skin had settled, and he was in a very good mood now.

"Good, brothers, get moving!"

"Come on, come on, find LZ to make an appointment for a training match, Wanghu, you go to make an appointment."

"Huh?"

"Ahh

"Okay......"

Little Peanut muttered a sentence that was not too emotional.

"What's wrong with you?"

Chen Yiqiu asked curiously.

"Brother... When will I have a champion skin? ”

Little Peanut looked at Chen Yiqiu with blank eyes.

Chen Yiqiu was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Come on, in October this year, let you get your first set of champion skins." ”

"You can't go back on what you said!"

Wanghu this kid is so foolish, as soon as he heard Chen Yiqiu say this, he immediately cheered up and began to actively backstab his former brothers, and frantically provoked LZ.

……

Eight o'clock in the evening.

SKT's official media and Twitter officially announced the original skin image of their S6 global championship, with a total of six sets of original skin images, namely: SKT Reaper, SKT Bengi, SKT Faker, SKT Bang, SKT Wolf, SKT Blank, and a set of eye skins, SKT Kkoma.

Among them, unlike the other world, in another world, the S6 version of the SKT champion skin is quite a bit colorful, but in this world, because of Chen Yiqiu's suggestion, the skin has been changed to a slightly ink-style taste.

It fits perfectly with this year's SKT black and white uniform.

Chen Yiqiu's Jace skin is more special among the five, because of his Chinese identity, Riot is very happy to 'drain' the LPL region with the largest number of players.

Therefore, Chen Yiqiu's skin is the same style as SKT, but with a lot of ancient Chinese elements added to the details.

For example, even if the giant cannon in his hand has turned into a dragon pattern fire gun carved with a rui beast, the shape is a bit like a halberd, Chen Yiqiu has seen the special effects of the first version, and the long cannon issued is not so much a cannon as something similar to sword qi, and there will be a black dragon pattern appearing in the position of the skill release, highlighting a desire for money.

Several others were inspired by him and made many of their own details.

For this reason, the official side of Riot has a lot of quarrels with SKT.

Because of the championship skins they made before, how could there be such a hard work, and SKT was too demanding, which made them very reluctant.

But because they want to enlarge Chen Yiqiu's identity as a Chinese as much as possible, in order to set off a wave in the Chinese region with the largest number of players, this time it is really a bloody effort.

And when these original skin pictures were first released, they immediately caused heated discussions around the world.

The China competition was particularly enthusiastic.

[I'm super, such a handsome dragon! Or is it an ink dragon?! 】

[Is this year's champion skin so fast?] Didn't you have to wait until July onwards? 】

[The gold content of the Triple Crown! 】

[No, Chen Sheng's original picture is a bit explosive, isn't this ink style Chinese style? ] 】

[Why does Reaper use Chinese style? He's an LCK player! 】

[Don't be embarrassed, Chen Sheng is not Chinese? ] 】

[It's over, I originally hated Chen Sheng, but when I saw this skin, I had to buy it no matter how much I hated it. 】

[This is the first time in history that this skin has appeared, right?] Not to buy is not Chinese! 】

[Laughing, it's a good calculation to fight with your fists, since Reaper doesn't come back, then I'll let his skin come back!] 】

【6！ 】

The audience in the LPL division reacted very enthusiastically to the new skin, especially Chen Yiqiu's skin, and in terms of actual action, the official hung the original picture of this set of skins on the League of Legends client every other day, and gave a big picture recommendation.

It's not that the official 'forgives' Chen Yiqiu, but the better this set of skins sells, maybe it can improve the popularity and vitality of China this year.

In short, for the sake of the competition area, no matter how dissatisfied Chen Yiqiu was with his original decision, they had to do it.

……

"Come on, let's talk casually, let's take a brief shot here, and it will be over soon."

Following.

SKT Rest Day.

Everyone finished training in the training room in the morning, and by noon, Riot had already sent a filming team, mainly to shoot a documentary about the spring game.

The SKT crowd put on their uniforms, sat down one by one, and chatted as if nothing had happened.

They have experienced this kind of shooting many times, so they are very calm.

But just as the Riot staff was about to shoot, they squatted down and looked at it, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong: "Hmm..."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Kkoma next to him came over and asked.

"That's... The location is not right, it is blocked. ”

The Riot photographer said something vaguely, gesturing to the seats of the SKT crowd in front of him.

Kkoma followed, and then his face darkened.

It turned out that Blank's chair was in the middle of Faker and Chen Yiqiu, just blocking most of their heads.

Block one, forget it, you still block two?

Immediately, Kkoma waved his hand irritably, and immediately a staff member ran up, and with Blank's bewildered face, he pulled him to the edge of the camera, even with a chair.

？？？？

"Hahaha."

Seeing this, Pei Junzhi couldn't hold back and almost laughed.

"That's too good."

"Brother Zenhisa... It's miserable. ”

The little peanut next to Chen Yiqiu turned his chair around, feeling that he finally understood what it meant to "carry someone down with a chair".

It turns out that the weak are wrong to even breathe.

Xiao Hei also blushed a little here, and hurriedly apologized to Lee Sang-hyuk and Chen Yiqiu.

"Let's go, let's go."

Kkoma impatiently urged, and the recording officially began.

After five minutes, the staff made an OK gesture.

"OK, it's okay, everyone is free, and... Yiqiu, you come with me for a while. ”

Kkoma walked over and greeted Chen Yiqiu.

Chen Yiqiu stood up suspiciously: "Coach, is there something wrong?" ”

"That's right, the director here has to shoot Ling alone, mainly about some questions about this year's S7 World Championship... It's a request from the Fist, you know... Now this is the case. ”

Kkoma explained briefly.

Chen Yiqiu understood as soon as he heard this.

The so-called individual interview should be strongly requested by Riot and LPL, mainly to rub the heat, if SKT really wins the championship again this year, then Chen Yiqiu may bring a lot of heat to LPL even if he is not in LPL.

It's the same as S6 winning the championship, everyone wants to continue to rub it.

And this is also good for Chen Yiqiu, an opportunity similar to last year's "Legend is Flourishing" is not something that just someone can have.

After winning the championship last year, the reason why he has become famous in the LPL and around the world by leaps and bounds, the contribution of the documentary "Legend is Prosperous" is not low.

"Okay, let's go."

Chen Yiqiu sorted out his things and followed everyone to the next door.

He sat in front of a computer, first logged into his account, and made it look like he was being interviewed for daily training.

"What do you think of this year's World Finals?"

The off-camera director gives the problem.

Chen Yiqiu thought for a while and said: "This is undoubtedly the grandest World Championship in history. ”

"S7 will be held entirely in your country, and you're currently 'serving' in the LCK (Korea) region, do you have anything to say about that?"

"I think competition knows no borders, just like our country's table tennis team, there have been many great players, and some of them have been hired by excellent teams all over the world, which may be the charm of competitive sports."

"Are you confident about this year's Worlds?"

"At the moment, I think our team is in good shape, so I'm more confident... However, it is still far from the S competition, so it can only be said that it will depend on the state at that time. ”

Chen Yiqiu didn't say anything full.

"What about yourself? If you could actually enter the Bird's Nest this year, how would you feel? ”

Here's the highlight.

Chen Yiqiu paused, and said loudly: "I will be very excited, I am very honored, the Bird's Nest, as the international sports center of our country, has always been a dream stage for every Chinese athlete, and I am no exception." ”
