Volume 1: An Era Chapter 11: Have you ever considered going to Gotham City to confront Batman?
"I...we're in the playoffs?"
He smiled as he looked at the big word "Victory" on the screen, and for a moment he was dazed.
After the first game, his mentality was broken.
The strength gap between the two sides was fully reflected. In addition, EDG did not care about winning or losing this game and played without any pressure, but WE had to fight under huge psychological pressure.
Under pressure, Wei Xiao felt that she was not in a good state today , and her heart was already half cold.
No one expected that Li Nian would pull WE back from the edge of the cliff in such a seemingly easy way.
Compared to the first game, this second smile felt very satisfying.
Li Nian's jungling rhythm in this game was very good, and his command ability was incredibly strong.
This allows Xiaoxiao to devote all her energy to the operation.
Throughout the entire game, WE only lost five kills.
And EDG...
Seventeen in total were lost!
This was an absolute crushing victory!
"Yes, we made it to the playoffs."
Strawberry let out a long sigh and slumped in the chair, feeling like her body was hollowed out.
"Okay, go shake hands."
Li Nian stood up and patted Strawberry on the shoulder.
"good!"
Strawberry was cheered up, and finally had the chance to take the initiative to shake hands.
The current LPL competition system is very disappointing. If the game is tied at 1-1 in a BO2 match, the team that takes the initiative to shake hands is the team that wins the second game.
Even though it was a draw, it just felt unpleasant to be shaken by someone else!
The five WE players walked neatly through the aisle in the battle seat and came to the battle seat where EDG was. The players shook hands with each other one by one.
Li Nian could feel the strong smell of gunpowder emanating from Smile and Strawberry.
"You are lucky to have found a good jungler."
Mingkai looked a little indifferent as he shook hands with Wei Xiao: "But it's a pity that you will lose miserably in the playoffs."
Smile maintained her expressionless face: "Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? The one who laughs last is the real winner."
"hehe."
Mingkai chuckled and said nothing more.
The last laugh?
Sorry, our EDG will definitely be the one laughing last.
Li Nian didn't say a word during the handshake. At this time, Li Nian was thinking about the next step.
Today's game is the final battle of the LPL 2014 Summer Season.
It seems that we are approaching the end of the season, but in fact there is still a long way to go.
If WE really wants to keep going.
On the way to the backstage lounge.
"We're going to get slaughtered in the playoffs."
Strawberry stretched.
"Why did we get beaten? With Brother Nian here, I don't think we will lose to EDG."
Xuexue looked up with curiosity.
After the game, although his Yasuo was not super-god, he still got six kills.
He hadn't been this happy playing a game in a long time.
"It's true that we have Li Nian with us, but Li Nian can't play in the playoffs."
Wei Xiao shook his head slightly: "According to the rules of the LPL competition, substitute players must play two full games in the regular season before they can participate in the playoffs. Our points have been fixed, and there will be no more games for us in the future."
"is that so?"
Xuexue was stunned.
“There is such a rule.”
Strawberry nodded sullenly : "Why else do you think Mingkai dared to say such harsh words and beat us in the playoffs?"
"Don't think too much, at least Brother Nian helped us get a place in the qualifying round."
Conan spoke at the right time.
The competition system of Season 4 is indeed distorted.
There is no so-called points system in the current season, and there are two ways to get a place in the World Championship.
First, win the summer championship.
The second is to stand out in the qualifiers. The winner group and the loser group will each compete for a place in the world championship. The winner group champion will have the right to compete with the LPL Summer Championship champion for another place.
The schedules during this period were very tight, which was also a headache for Li Nian.
Today is August 16th.
If he remembered correctly, the bubble game would start on September 6th.
In other words, WE has less than 20 days to prepare for the game.
Li Nian doesn't have many ideas and tricks for playing jungle in his memory, and using them once or twice as a surprise move looks very cool.
But the other teams are not fools. They will naturally study it thoroughly after using it more often.
Therefore, WE must replace its personnel in such a short period of time!
"Li Nian, are you sure about the qualifying round?"
When they were about to reach the lounge, Wei Xiao hesitated for a moment, took two steps forward and walked side by side with Li Nian, and asked.
Li Nian shook his head slightly: "We need to make some personnel changes and tactical adjustments to the team, and then see how the running-in goes... These are all small things. The most critical point is whether the management can support my ideas."
"you mean?"
Wei Xiao was stunned and a little confused.
"I remember that the league's rules state that players can be loaned out temporarily, right?"
Li Nian said.
"It can be."
Wei Xiao nodded. There have been examples of renting players from other teams . For example, OMG asked the PE team to rent the bottom lane duo during the WCG game.
"As long as the club reaches an agreement and the money is in place, there shouldn't be any problem, but the question is who are you going to rent... To be honest, the players in the lower ranked teams in the LPL are pretty average."
Smile was even more curious now.
Li Nian smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."
It’s meaningless to say all this now. The premise for discussing the issue of renting players is that the club is willing to pay the money.
"The great heroes are back? Congratulations."
Shan Niruo couldn't help but say something sour when he saw everyone coming back.
Li Nian's performance shocked him, but also made him a little envious.
However, what made Shan Niruo embarrassed was that none of his teammates paid any attention to him and they were all chatting among themselves.
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door and the host came over to invite the contestant to the interview booth for an interview.
"Li Nian, why don't you go?"
Wei Xiao rubbed his sore eyes. He was too tired to move.
"Yeah, it's a good opportunity to show your face, which is only slightly worse than mine, in front of your fans."
Strawberry seemed to be in a good mood and started to tease.
Li Nian didn't care about it. He had never accepted an interview in his previous life or this life. It didn't hurt to go. He immediately stood up and looked at Strawberry and said with a smile: "I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words. This is related to whether I should re-plan my focus in the next competition."
Upon hearing this, Strawberry's expression became serious: "General, please go quickly. I feel ashamed to have you here."
"Fuck."
Smile looked at Strawberry in confusion and couldn't help but swear.
Good guy, he is just a good guy.
Is this the face of a slave?
“It sounds fake, but I love listening to it.”
Li Nian snapped his fingers and said, "Let's go."
On the side, Shan Niruo, who looked envious, couldn't help but mutter, "Shit luck."
The sound was not loud, but it was clear enough in this relatively small lounge.
Wei Xiao frowned and looked at Shan Niruo. When he was about to say something, Li Nian spoke before him.
Li Nian walked up to Shan Niruo and patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, have you ever considered going to Gotham City to fight Batman?"
"ha?"
Shan Niruo looked confused.
What does it mean?
"Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot this is 2014."
Li Nian suddenly realized that he shouldn't ask that.
"Have you ever considered working in the circus?"
After leaving a few words, Li Nian walked away, leaving Shan Niruo behind with an angry look on his face after he came to his senses.
This time, he understood!
