Volume 1: An Era Chapter 90 Destiny
In the next two days, the rank training of WE team's top and jungle did not go smoothly.
On the first day, Xiang Guo, who was duo-queuing with Li Nian, directly reached around 150 points in the King rank, but dropped below 100 points on the second day.
Only then did Xiang Guo realize how important it was to have someone who could cover his back.
When playing in a duo, Li Nian can control Xiang Guo's unstable rhythm. Even if there is a deviation in the team's rhythm in the mid-term, Li Nian can make up for it with excellent command.
In addition, when Li Nian goes to the bottom lane, the double lane on their side is mostly an advantage lane, and the output in the mid-to-late stages will also be guaranteed.
But after playing solo, the person who could cover for Xiangguo disappeared.
In the S4 season, Xiang Guo was able to easily maintain a top ten ranking in the national server rank with his aggressive playing style and operations.
But the styles of Korean servers and Chinese servers are very different.
The Chinese server likes fighting, and junglers like Xiang Guo who frequently gank in the early stage are particularly popular. Moreover, the mentality of players in high-end games is actually not very good. If the early stage is too chaotic, they may call for a mid push.
The Korean server has strong human defense ganking capabilities, and there are many professional players, and their early styles are relatively stable.
In this environment, Xiangguo’s shortcomings began to be gradually magnified.
The three-pronged attack failed to produce any effect, and the probability of the jungle area collapsing was more than half!
In Li Nian's previous life, Xiang Guo's shortcomings were infinitely magnified in the S5 and S6 seasons.
Now this shortcoming has been fully exposed under Li Nian's patient guidance.
But Li Nian still did not let Xiang Guo stop this training method. Not only that, Li Nian also temporarily passed a resolution through Li Xiaofeng.
If the rank points are not enough, the salary will be deducted.
Well...only for incense pot.
When Xiang Guo learned the news, his eyes immediately turned red. He jumped onto Li Nian and pinched Li Nian's neck with both hands, shaking it back and forth. It looked as if he really wanted to strangle Li Nian to death.
"you can."
Li Nian stared at the incense pot motionlessly.
"I can not!"
"you can."
"I really can't..."
"Then deduct the salary."
"Well, I can..."
Xiang Guo gave up this powerless resistance with grief and indignation.
In fact, the score set by Li Nian was not difficult for Xiang Guo.
The difficulty lies in what method to use.
It is actually very easy for many professional players to gain points, but scores do not represent everything.
No matter how high your score is, what’s the point of lagging behind when it comes to the competition?
Do you expect Riot to give an award to players with high rank scores?
If he uses the playing style he is familiar with, Xiang Guo feels that his winning rate within 50% in the Korean server is at least 60% or above.
But using the tactics Li Nian requested... the winning rate might not even be 40%.
Xiang Guo stretched out his finger, dipped it in the water cup on the table, and then rubbed it on the corners of his eyes.
"Brother Nian, let me tell you a story."
Li Nian didn't even raise his eyelids: "Oh, go ahead."
"I have a friend who used to have a girlfriend..."
"Get to the point."
"His girlfriend said to others, 'My boyfriend is good in everything. He gives all his salary to me. But I have hinted to him many times during the holidays, but he is reluctant to give me even a red envelope of 1314. Do you think I should break up with him?'"
Xiang Guo spoke excitedly, secretly observing Li Nian's expression.
Li Nian lowered her head and continued to trim her nails: "Wow, even the capitalists are crying after seeing this, then what?"
"Huh?"
Xiang Guo was stunned.
Brother, didn’t you summarize it very well?
It makes me gain points, but also makes me use tactics that lose points.
What's the difference between you and this woman?!
Now you give me the whole and then...
And then your sister!
"And then...and then her girlfriend was beaten to death."
"oh……"
Li Nian's response made Xiang Guo feel powerless. He leaned back in his chair and muttered to himself: "You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep."
"You don't train?"
After trimming her nails, Li Nian looked at Xiang Guo suspiciously: "Are you afraid that you will continue to lose?"
The corner of Xiang Guo's mouth twitched slightly.
He suspected that Li Nian was mocking him and had sufficient evidence.
"Training, this is training, watch carefully, today I will definitely prove..."
"Prove how many Korean server champions there are?"
"Grass… …"
"Haha, just kidding. Come on, I'm rooting for you."
…
The next day, Xiang Guo failed to prove how many people were the kings of the Korean server, because... he dropped in rank.
Li Nian didn't say anything, but called all the team members together. Today was a very important day.
The live broadcast of the S-League draw will be held today.
There was no so-called draw ceremony before the S5 season .
The person responsible for the draw for the S4 World Finals was just an ordinary employee of Riot.
The drawing of lots hasn't started yet, but people at Xiangguo's place have already started praying.
"What about the shaman dance?"
Li Nian glanced at him.
"What do you know? This trick of mine is always very effective. Look how kind this bearded guy is. He will definitely draw a good lot for us!"
Xiang Guo said with a pout.
"Oh, I'll wait and see."
Li Nian responded.
The sixteen teams entering the World Championship have been completely finalized.
The three teams in the OGN Korean division are ranked according to the first, second and third seeds: SSB, SSW, and NJ White Shield.
The three teams in the LPL China division: WE, EDG, and Royal Club.
LCS North America: TSM, C9, LMQ.
EU European Division: ALL, FNC, SK.
Southeast Asia region: TPA, AHQ.
Wild Card Zone: Kabum, DP.
According to the draw rules, the number one seeds from the four major regions of OGN, LPL, LCS, and EU will not meet in the group stage.
In addition, if teams in the same group want to meet in the knockout stage, they can only do so in the finals.
The bearded man fiddled with the envelope in his hand, said something gibberish, and then began to draw lots from the envelope.
First sign...
OGN , No.1.
When Li Nian saw this sign, his pupils shrank slightly.
changed.
It has changed indeed!
He remembered that Samsung Blue was not in Group A in his previous life.
Because of my arrival, has the draw for the World Championship group stage changed?
The draw is going on.
Group A SSB.
Group B TSM.
Group C WE.
Group D ALL.
This is completely different from what Li Nian had in mind.
call……
Li Nian slowly exhaled. If that's the case...
Just let everything take its course.
As the draws came out one after another, the groups gradually became clear.
At the beginning, the WE members could still chat a little, but as one team after another appeared, the WE members gradually fell silent.
The first to come out is Group A.
SSB, EDG, DP, SK.
"EDG's draw is quite good. Although they are in the same group with South Korea's No. 1 seed, at least they have no risk of qualifying."
Strawberry said slowly.
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
SK and DP, one is Europe's third seed and the other is a wild card. They really don't think these two teams can be very strong.
Following Group A is Group B.
TSM, NJ White Shield, AHQ, FNC.
Since there were no LPL teams involved, the WE team didn’t discuss much.
All their attention is on Group C and Group D at this time.
Currently Group C includes WE, TPA, and c9.
Group D is ALL, Royal Club, and LMQ.
And there are two teams in the remaining draw.
A wild card kabum.
There is another one...SSW.
Xiang Guo began his alternative way of praying again.
Li Nian's eyes were fixed on the fist staff's hand.
The envelope was opened.
The suspense...is resolved.
What the staff member was holding in his hand was OGN No. 2.
According to the postponement mechanism, SSW will be arranged in Group C.
That is to say, in the group stage, WE will meet SSW, the world champion in the previous life... in advance.
“This is fate.”
Li Nian sighed softly.
