Chapter 211: Sixteen consecutive victories! Miracle summer!

In the second round of the LPL Summer Regular Season, IG's new mid-jungle lineup confused many teams and forced the coaches of the remaining four teams in Group B to work overtime and study the solution to IG's new system all night long.

As a result, by the fifth week of the regular season,

When IG played against IM, which is EDG's second team, Li Fu returned to the jungle position.

Save, the rising star and the biggest fan of Fu Ge, also returned to the top lane, which made IM, who was transferred from EDG as an analyst, dumbfounded when he received the news.

The result was not surprising.

IG took it away directly with a score of 2-0.

Eight consecutive wins!

The next three teams are VG, OMG and WE.

Playing against three teams in two weeks is easy for IG, which has now fully recovered.

Two to zero,

Two to zero again...

When the second round of the regular season's inter-group confrontation came to an end on the weekend of the seventh week of the summer season, that is, on July 17, people suddenly looked back and realized that IG had become the new LPL galaxy battleship.

As for RNG, the "first generation Galaxy Battleship" that was known as the invincible bottom lane at the beginning of the season, they actually lost two games in the second round of the regular season. By the end of the second round, they had even fallen to fourth place in the standings, below WE.

Why did the Galaxy Battleship, which was invincible in the summer season and in good shape in the first round of the group stage, suddenly fall so fast and even lost three points in the second round?

For a time, countless viewers and fans on the Internet had different opinions on this.

But according to the information inadvertently revealed by RNG team's mid laner Xiaohu in a live broadcast, the three-foot-thick ice did not form overnight, and RNG's condition did not decline after losing the next two games.

In fact, their form has seriously declined since their loss to IG three weeks ago.

The situation at that time was that RNG lost consecutive games against EDG and NB. Some fans asked in the barrage why RNG was in such a bad state, so bad that they couldn't even beat NB?

Xiaohu kept giving a helpless wry smile and said, "He didn't want to do that, but the team had problems three weeks ago, and everyone is still working hard to recover."

Something went wrong three weeks ago?

The witty netizens in the barrage thought about it.

I reacted immediately.

The timing is right.

That must be after losing to IG.

So that night, the topic #IG beat RNG so hard that their morale was shattered# became a hot search on Weibo, and IG, which had won 11 consecutive games and had not lost a single game in the second round of the summer regular season, was once again pushed to the forefront.

"Fuck! Is IG so strong this summer?"

"Awesome! Who dares to say that the MSI championship has no value?"

“RNG: Fake Galaxy Battleship; IG: Real Galaxy Battleship!”

"Next week will be the third regular season, right? If IG returns to Group A, won't they be eliminated?"

"I get it! IG's summer season scenario is to win sixteen games in a row and crush the LPL, right?"

“…”

Soon, it was July 21st.

It is the eighth week of the LPL Summer Split, which is also the third round of the regular season. The twelve LPL teams once again start the intra-group round-robin competition.

In the eighth week, IG, the leader of Group A and also the leader of the LPL standings, first defeated EDG and then the Snake Team.

In the ninth week, IG won consecutive games against GT and SAT.

Finally, on the last day of the tenth week of the summer season, IG finally faced NB.

This game actually has no impact on IG's performance.

With fifteen consecutive wins in the summer regular season, IG has already secured the top spot and entered the playoffs, so it doesn't matter even if they lose the game.

But this has a huge impact on NB.

NB's current regular season record is 5/10, ranking ninth in the summer season standings, only one point away from the eighth-placed LGD.

You know, to advance to the playoffs you need to be one of the top eight teams.

If NB can win today's game against IG, then they will have the opportunity to play another round of extra games with LGD to compete for the last spot in the playoffs.

But if they lose, it means they will have to say goodbye to this summer completely.

5pm, Hongqiao Tiandi LPL competition venue.

Before the game, when the director's camera was directed to the players' seats, he inadvertently captured a scene in which Swift, the jungler in the NB competition seat, stared blankly at the profile of Li Fu opposite him across the stage.

At that time, thunderous cheers from IG fans were heard at the LPL scene.

Yes, IG fans.

As IG embarked on a legendary winning streak this summer, more and more viewers joined the team's fan base, and it is now one of the new big three teams that can truly rival the old big three teams in LPL.

The moment when cheers surged all around the scene.

Under the camera, Swift's expression at that moment was extremely complicated, and he seemed to have mixed feelings.

At this moment he seemed to remember a lot of things.

From breaking off relations between the mid and jungle, to joining forces with teammates to squeeze out Doinb and become the boss of the new team.

From B05's unwillingness for one minute to now watching the team and people he looked down upon rise step by step.

In just one summer, the veteran who Swift once mocked many times on Weibo has now grown into a player that he, a Korean aid jungler, needs to look up to among the junglers in the LPL!

Why is it like this?

Swift began to question his life again.

He felt that fate was so unfair!

I am obviously younger!

Better talent!

Even more powerful strength!

But why is it that in the end, the opponent stood at the top of the summer season standings, while he was reduced to struggling on the edge of the playoffs?

I have to say that the LPL director’s skills are still very strong!

This moment of capture vividly showed the "fan-shaped diagram" of three parts of unwillingness, three parts of confusion and three parts of anger in Swift's eyes, which immediately attracted the attention of countless viewers at the scene and in the LPL event live broadcast room.

"Smile a little, don't look so smug all the time."

"If I had been kind, I wouldn't have said this might be Swift's last game in the LPL."

"Hahaha, the owner of the NB club must be regretting it now. He should have kept Doinb earlier."

"Indeed, if they bought Dade and rebuilt the team around him, but couldn't even make the playoffs, which team would dare to hire him next season?"

"Oh no! No wonder the look in his eyes when he looks at Emperor Fu is so complicated. It seems like his life is in the hands of Emperor Fu."

"It's so funny, keep posting on Weibo!"

“…”

The live broadcast room was filled with comments like crazy.

Before the NB game, the whole team was praying, praying that they could win one more game, so that they would have a chance to enter the playoffs.

However, after today's BO3, the powerful IG left NB with no hope at all. They felt despair all of a sudden and won 2-0 without any ripples.

Li Fu and Swift played against each other in the jungle again.

In the first game, the opponent was able to fight back and forth, but unfortunately we lost.

Unexpectedly, after losing a game, it was not only Swift who was pushed to the line of life and death. Everyone in the NB team was in chaos. They played without any rules and it was like they were sleepwalking.

To put it bluntly, the mental pressure of the competition was too great, which directly broke the string in the players' minds.

In the end, they were defeated by IG 17:0.

"Let's congratulate IG!"

"Congratulations to IG for their 16th consecutive win, achieving a perfect end to the regular season and becoming the first team in LPL history to enter the playoffs with a perfect record."

In the commentary booth, the two commentators began to congratulate IG.

As for NB, which fell to the last and qualified for the playoffs, what will be the ending?

To be honest, no one cares anymore.

This is esports.

Applause, flowers and glory are always reserved for the winners.

The cruelest, but also the fairest, because he treats every team equally.

After the last match day of the tenth week, the list of the top eight teams in the 2016 LPL Summer Playoffs was released.

From top to bottom, they are IG, EDG, WE, RNG, VG, IM, Snake, and LGD.

At the same time, the playoff schedule was also announced.

August 10th, eight to six.

LGD vs. VG; IM vs. Snake.

August 12, six to four.

WE vs. the winner of the bottom half;

RNG will play against the winner of the top half.

Of course, IG, with 16 consecutive wins, is firmly at the top of the summer season standings.

The previous games have nothing to do with them anymore.

At this point, IG has grown from a challenger who came up from the bubble match last season to a challenged player at the big devil level in the summer season, which is equivalent to being admitted to the semi-finals together with EDG.

On the night when the regular season ended, coach Chris gave everyone a big hug when he returned to the club base.

For him, this Saitian summer is simply a summer "full of miracles". He was once just a ruthless takeout order clerk, and he never thought that one day he would be able to coach a team with an undefeated record in the regular season!

Today, Chris really wants to tell everyone loudly!

The person standing in front of you now is not someone who takes takeout orders, nor is he responsible for closing the door. He is a top coach who can personally coach the LPL Galaxy Battleship!

"Thank you! Thank you so much everyone!"

Chris turned his head and looked at Li Fu, his eyes full of love, the more he looked, the more he liked him.

Who would have thought that an "old bastard" who was accidentally pulled up from the bench has now grown into a towering ancient tree that can support IG?

When Chris thought of this, he couldn't help but feel happy and felt that he really had a keen eye!

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.

At this time, the RNG club base.

Compared to Chris's smiling face, the smile on RNG coach Fly's face completely disappeared.

He felt like his happiness had been stolen.

Fourth in the regular season, to be honest, this ranking would be acceptable for another team.

If it were NB, which died in despair today, it would probably cry with joy on the spot.

But for the Galaxy Battleship RNG, which has been highly expected by countless fans, viewers and even club owners this season, this result is not a good one.

They should be the ones who win 16 consecutive games and enter the playoffs.

Why is this happening?

Coach Fly looked around the quiet training room, then looked up at the bright fluorescent lights on the ceiling above his head. His thoughts suddenly drifted back to the summer transfer window a few months ago.

In fact, as insiders of the club, they confirmed earlier that after kicking Wuxx out of the bottom lane, they would get a heavyweight ADC player to join. Although the name was not announced, the coaches and players of the club were all aware of it and had been looking forward to it for quite a long time.

To this day, he still remembers very clearly that when Uzi actually moved into the RNG club and the official blog announced it, coach Fly's heart almost jumped out of excitement!

Done!

The last piece of the championship puzzle for the perfect LPL lineup in his mind ...

Finally it’s done!

On that day, the RNG boss invited everyone to a dinner together, and when raising his glass, he said, "I wish everyone a long and successful summer season!"

The half-drunk Fly was in high spirits at the time. He patted his chest and made a pledge - in this regular season, the Galaxy Battleship RNG will not fight for third place or second place, but will fight for first place!

The RNG boss said, "Great! Very impressive!"

The atmosphere at the table was so heated that he and the boss were arm in arm, chatting and laughing like good brothers.

But yesterday... just yesterday RNG finished the last game of the summer season, and the entire regular season finally came to an end.

When I came back from the game in the evening, I met the boss of RNG.

Coach Fly tried hard to force a smile and approached to say hello, but unexpectedly the latter's attitude was as cold as ice, as if he was thrown into a polar ice cellar in an instant.

Why is this happening?

Coach Fly, who had been staring blankly at the fluorescent lights on the ceiling, suddenly reacted.

He didn't know the answer.

But I suddenly realized something that I had overlooked.

That is, if RNG makes one more wrong step in the top six of the playoffs - the cold attitude of the RNG boss towards him yesterday might be the best he will ever encounter in his life.

The next time we meet, he might just pack up and leave.

You have to know that in the LPL e-sports ecosystem, coaches are even lower-level than players, and they change their clothes more frequently than their underwear.

grass!

Coach Fly, who was suddenly awakened, became anxious.

He rushed into the quiet competition room. Fly, who had been dealing with and adjusting various conflicts between players in the team for the past two months, and constantly trying to smooth things over and act as a peacemaker, had a face as cold as ice tonight!

Even Mata, who turned around and opened his mouth to ask Fly to close the door, was stunned by Fly's expression.

This guy... is out of his mind?

"Guard the door..."

Mata shook her head and was about to continue.

Bang-!

The latter slammed the door so hard that the fluorescent lights on the ceiling shook.

At this moment, Mala Xiangguo and others who were in qualifying training also took off their headphones and looked at the frosty-faced coach Fly with some surprise, wondering what was going on with him tonight.

Fly, who usually smiles, now has a cold face!

My heart feels even colder!

Damn it, if they don't play well in the playoffs, these bastards will most likely stay on the team in the summer season. After all, players are worth much more than coaches.

Of course, RNG’s contract is not so easy to terminate.

But when his contract expires, he might have to find a new job.

The key is that the owners of other clubs are not fools.

When people see your resume, they are like, wow! You made the "Galacticos" at the beginning of the season such a mess.

Can you do it?

Whenever Coach Fly thought about the possible scene in the future, he became more and more angry.

Galaxy Battleship?

Damn battleship!

Damn, everyone wants to be the boss.

It would be strange if it could fly!

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Coach Fly said coldly:

"In the second round of the playoffs, whether won LGD or IM in the previous round, I hope everyone understands one thing now."
