Volume 1: An Era Chapter 16: A battle that decides fate, the first battle against SH Royal Family!
The playoffs are over.
The EDG team won the final championship without any suspense.
The EDG team, which won the LPL Spring and Summer Championships, will also directly qualify for the S4 World Finals.
And just as Wei Xiao said, EDG will be the defending No. 1 seed.
According to the schedule, a total of four teams will compete for a place in the World Finals.
OMG, IG, WE, Royal Club.
The four teams will compete in a BO3 format to enter the winner group and loser group respectively.
Both the winner group and the loser group can get one spot, and the winning team in the winner group will challenge EDG and compete with EDG for the number one seed in the LPL region of the S4 World Finals.
OMG will face IG in the first match.
What WE has to face is SH Royal Club, which is now at its peak after recruiting new players.
On the eve of the game, WE team announced the team's qualifying roster.
After seeing this list, major clubs and many players were shocked.
Top single strawberry.
Jungler mlxg.
Mid laner Xuexue.
AD smiles.
Auxiliary monster.
This list was something no one expected.
First, WE introduced a little-known jungler from the LSPL region.
Secondly...the monster that received the most attention actually ran to the support position.
"This WE... is their brain watt? They don't think that a jungler who plays in the secondary league is better than monster?"
"I'm really impressed. Letting such a strong person play as a support, what's the difference between this and using a cannon to kill a mosquito?"
"At least the lineup has changed, so let's look forward to it. In fact, I feel that if WE falls into the loser group and plays against IG, the chances of winning should be quite high."
"Do you already assume that OMG can beat IG?"
"What's the problem? IG has been like this since PDD retired. If they hadn't won the runner-up in the spring season, how would they have had the chance to play in this qualifier?"
…
The barrage forum was full of discussions.
The most confused person at this time was EDG's jungler MingKai.
Mingkai stared blankly at the list on the screen. After a long while, Mingkai couldn't help but curse, "Fuck!"
Abu next to him looked at Mingkai with some sympathy.
Recently, Mingkai has spent a lot of time and energy analyzing Li Nian's jungle style.
Since there was only one game and the materials were limited, even if Mingkai reviewed the game more than a dozen times, the results of his analysis were limited.
In the past two days, he had finally figured out some tricks based on his understanding of the game, and also worked hard to come up with some tactics to target Li Nian. But, Li Nian just went to play support without saying a word?
"kidding me?"
Mingkai's face looked a little gloomy.
"Their new jungler is really strong, but I don't know how he will perform on the spot."
Abu said beside Mingkai.
Mingkai nodded: "I know, but he still has a long way to go as a newcomer. The competition field is very cruel. Even if I hold back, Insec definitely won't."
"If you want to fight me, you have to get past the royal family first!"
…
At the same time, inside the royal base.
"What's the deal with this new support? Does anyone know his Korean ID?"
UZI raised his head and said while chewing his hand.
“That’s not really clear.”
The Royal Family's coach shook his head slightly.
Zero, UZI's second concubine, also spread his hands and said he didn't know.
"That's a problem. Wei Xiao is too stable in laning. If he is paired with Conan, he can suppress the opponent a little bit..."
UZI smacked his lips and said, "I hope this new support isn't too bad, otherwise it will be hard to handle."
…
One day later.
The time came to September 6th.
That is the day when the qualifying round begins.
Everyone in WE went to bed early the day before, and immediately started training after getting up in high spirits.
At around nine o'clock, Li Nian got up with panda eyes.
Looking at himself in the mirror who looked a little depressed, Li Nian murmured to himself: "I am so handsome even when I am depressed. Oh, it's so hard."
Shaking his head, Li Nian quickly washed up and came to the training room.
They will set off for the venue at 11 o'clock, and before that Li Nian still has important tactical deployments to make.
This is what every coach should do.
Of course, if WE management had not agreed to pay Li Nian double the salary, Li Nian would definitely not have done it.
What the hell, being both a father and a mother all day long is so exhausting.
The deployment time was not long, and Li Nian used all his skills to simplify what he wanted to say to the extreme.
In Li Nian's opinion, the Royal Team has extremely distinctive characteristics.
Cola, who plays top lane, is better at using some mage or development-type heroes. He can also use tank heroes, but his performance is not outstanding.
There is no need to say much about the jungler insec, his style is somewhat similar to Xiangguo, but the difference is that Xiangguo is more extreme than him, while he is more experienced than Xiangguo.
Mid laner Yumi is currently the best Yasuo in the country. He plays aggressively. Although his condition is not very stable, at least he can hold his own against many domestic mid laners.
There is no need to say much about UZI and zero. In his previous life, Li Nian believed that apart from Xiao Ming, he was the support who had the best compatibility with UZI. Although zero is Korean, his cooperation with UZI is truly seamless.
Overall, the Royal Family looks like the strongest spear.
WE, on the other hand, prefers the strongest shield.
What Li Nian needs to do is to make the team look like a shield on the surface, but actually insert two spears in it!
"That's about it. We'll deal with it as needed later. Now... let's go."
Li Nian took a deep breath and spoke loudly.
"WE will win !"
Everyone gathered together, with the backs of their hands and palms stacked one on top of the other, and finally, accompanied by a uniform shout, everyone's hands pressed down hard!
Once upon a time, when WE was mentioned in the e-sports circle, the response received was like this.
WE?
Was that a team? No, it was an era!
Today, WE's era is fading and gradually coming to an end.
And this game will be the first step for WE to regain its glory!
Especially for Li Nian, as a time traveler, he knows very well that as long as they can defeat Royal Club, it means that WE has defeated the world runner-up!
Is this year's world runner-up.
In this game, we can only win, not lose!
…
The venue was packed with people today.
The match between OMG and IG will be held first at 1 o'clock, while the match between WE and Royal Club will be held at 4 o'clock.
When the WE members got out of the car and walked through the entrance passage towards the cheering fans, Li Nian could vaguely hear the discussions of the people around them.
"Wow, Strawberry is so handsome!"
"No, there's someone more handsome. Who is that person? Is he the new monster?"
"Looking at him like that, can he play as a support?"
There are countless discussions like this.
Li Nian just smiled at this.
Can you play assist...?
Li Nian actually doesn’t know what level his current support is.
The only ones in the team who commented on him were Xiang Guo and Wei Xiao.
Smile opened her mouth and said nothing.
And Xiang Guo said...
Brother Nian’s support is like a young cow that has grown into a adult. It’s so awesome!
