Volume 1: An Era Chapter 88: Preparation for War (1)
The departure ceremony for Season 4 was not very grand.
However, this unique atmosphere still gave Li Nian a very strange feeling.
Although there were not many spectators at the scene, most of them were still pure at this time, not as corrupt as in the previous life, where they would become filial if they disagreed with someone.
When the performance ended, the three teams representing LPL walked to the center of the stage one by one and stood in front of the Cosers.
Oh yes, Li Nian noticed one thing.
The ticket card given to each team does not say LPL region.
But the Chinese region.
After several hosts thanked the sponsors in turn, everyone took a group photo. From the time the contestants appeared to the end of the ceremony, the departure ceremony was over in less than ten minutes.
At this moment, the WE members didn't care whether the ceremony was gorgeous or not.
What they care about is... the upcoming World Championship.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Since WE has become the No. 1 seed in the LPL region, it is only natural that they should perform like the No. 1 seed in the World Championship.
The No. 1 seed represents the highest level of the region.
But in fact, no one in WE had much confidence.
"It's over. I'll take a day off tomorrow and start training the day after tomorrow."
In the lounge, Li Nian put on her shoulder bag, waved her hand with a little tiredness, and walked out of the lounge first.
Smile and Strawberry looked at each other and followed closely.
Xiang Guo and Xue Xue followed at the end.
In the business car, Wei Xiao would occasionally glance at Li Nian who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Li Nianti was leaning against the window, and a light snoring sound could be heard slowly.
"Hush."
Strawberry made a gesture to keep quiet, then reached out and pinched Xiangguo's neck.
Xiang Guo, who had just taken out his mobile phone, nodded obediently, then indicated that his phone was in silent mode, and Strawberry let go of his hand.
No conversation along the way.
After arriving at the place, Li Nian got up from the car in a daze and rubbed his eyes. "Do whatever you need to do tomorrow. Treasure the little rest time left. The group match will start on the 18th. We have to go to T City a week in advance to prepare. The network environment there is very average, so we don't have much time to practice."
Finally, Li Nian looked at the invisible man not far away and said, "Um... Manager Ma, I'm leaving the visas and a series of logistical matters for the players to you."
"Don't worry, this is all my job."
Manager Ma felt quite awkward along the way, but the mutual consideration between the players made him, as the club manager, feel completely different from his previous job.
"It's troublesome."
Li Nian said this and yawned as he entered the base.
He needs a good sleep now.
The No. 1 seed...
In fact, if possible, Li Nian would prefer WE to enter the World Championship as the second seed.
At present, the teams entering the World Championship in each region have basically been settled.
In Li Nian's opinion, the real strong ones in the S4 season are not the number one seeds in each division, but the number two.
In fact, based on past experience, there is indeed a certain mystery surrounding the number one seed, especially before the S8 season, the number one seed would definitely fail in the World Championship.
This year, the number one seed in the Korean region is SSB [Samsung Blue] and the number two seed is SSW [Samsung White].
The number one seed in the European region is ALL [Team A], and the number two seed is FNC.
The No. 1 seed in the North American region, TSM, and the No. 2 seed, C9…
WE being the No. 1 seed of LPL means that the group cannot have the No. 1 seed teams from the other three of the four major regions, so WE is likely to encounter these strong No. 2 seeds.
If the second seeds from these three regions were all gathered in WE's group...
Pah pah.
Li Nian slapped himself twice: "Children's words are without restraint, children's words are without restraint..."
After returning to the room, Li Nian was too lazy to wash up and fell heavily on the bed.
Staring at the ceiling for a long time and listening to the chirping of crickets outside the window, Li Nian's eyelids became heavier and heavier.
"I hope... the grouping won't be that bad."
…
When I woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Perhaps it was because she slept too much that Li Nian felt a little dazed.
Picking up his cell phone and taking a look, he saw that it was already past nine o'clock. Li Nian got up from the bed, washed up, and looked in the mirror. His hair had obviously become longer , so he decided to go out for a haircut today.
Although a handsome man won’t change much due to a change in head shape, it can at least give Li Nian a psychological hint... Well, short hair makes him look more energetic.
"Oh my god, can you guys stop asking questions about the game? I finally have a day off and I'm exhausted."
Near the training room, Li Nian's ears moved and he heard something that seemed to be the sound of a hot pot.
It was not until then that Li Nian remembered that the team members seemed to have live broadcast contracts.
Although as a professional player, the required live broadcast time each month is not too long, but I am usually training hard so how can I have the time to live broadcast?
But does Xiang Guo also have this contract? There shouldn't be any temporary loan players, right?
Or has the club already taken Xiang Guo away from the King team?
Li Nian was not aware of these things. He shook his head and walked into the training room.
As expected, the teammates did not go out to hang out today, but instead completed their monthly live broadcast tasks.
Smile and Strawberry like quietness when playing games, even when they are live streaming. Xuexue is even worse. She doesn't even turn on the camera and just concentrates on the game.
The substitute support Conan was on vacation, so Xiang Guo was the only one talking in the huge training room for a while.
It's like a monkey entering an empty zoo.
But the monkey hasn't noticed Li Nian coming.
"What? Shan Niruo? Oh, how would I know, brother? I hadn't been here when he was in WE... But there's no denying match-fixing, okay? This is the most disgusting, I tell you."
"Stop asking, especially those who are relying on the popularity of WE to get high reviews by spraying mud. I advise you to be careful and don't exploit the dead..."
"Good fellow."
Li Nian smacked his lips and sat down next to Xiang Guo: "Don't you have anything to do today on holiday? You're so diligent in ranking here."
"Brother Nian, are you here?"
Xiang Guo was startled by Li Nian, and then said with a smile: "I reached the Korean King rank two days ago, so I plan to take advantage of the victory and reach the King rank 500 points first..."
"Ambitious."
Li Nian gave a thumbs up.
In fact, he believes that Xiang Guo has this ability. Of course, there are not many LPL players who can become the king of the Korean server in the S4 season, so the road will definitely not be smooth.
"Then you see."
Xiang Guo flipped his hair in a cocky way: "I am the only Korean server champion in the team now, right? Brother Nian, do you want me to help you rank up?"
“It’s not impossible.”
Li Nian said this and entered an account that seemed unfamiliar to Xiang Guo.
Click to Login.
The account's nickname is a string of Korean characters.
As Xiang Guo stared in amazement, Li Nian inconspicuously clicked on the personal information and inadvertently hovered the mouse over the icon belonging to the rank.
Xiang Guo recognizes the logo of the strongest king.
But the 961 below...
“Fuck!”
Xiang Guo swore.
"Oops, I logged in to the wrong account. I forgot it's not this one."
Li Nian slapped his head, logged out of the account, and logged into the account he usually used for training. The ID of this account was moster, which Xiang Guo was very familiar with.
"Diamond 1, 89 LP."
"GuoGuo, come and take care of the little Zuan."
Looking at Li Nian's smiling eyes, Xiang Guo felt that his world had become dark.
He will never forget the score of Li Nian's account just now.
You should know that the highest score in the Korean server is only around 1200 points.
Close to a thousand points, which means approaching the pinnacle of the Korean server king.
At this time, Xiang Guo suddenly remembered that Li Nian seemed to have less training time than them every day, or to be more precise, he returned to his room earlier.
As a coach, Li Nian has a computer in her room.
At this time, the barrage in Xiangguo’s live broadcast room had exploded.
"What did the anchor see?"
"Shocked, is there some unspeakable secret on Brother Nian's computer screen?"
"I guess it's Ava..."
"It could also be a photo of her sleeping without clothes on."
"Good man, there's something wrong with you upstairs."
"Xiang Guo Xiang Guo, let me ask you a question that has nothing to do with League of Legends. Zhang San raped a corpse, but unexpectedly the corpse suddenly resurrected. What crime should he be charged with?"
Xiang Guo recovered from his shock and happened to see this comment, and was slightly stunned.
"It's a crime to be a little bird ."
Li Nian's leisurely voice floated past.
The barrage in Xiang Guo’s live broadcast room seemed to lag for a moment, and then countless "wow" began to scroll across the screen.
