Times are progressing.
On the day when WE arrived in Taipei, ESPN released a ranking of players for the S4 World Finals.
When Li Nian heard the news, she couldn't help but be happy.
Sure enough, some things may be late, but they will never be absent.
The poisonous milk list is finally here.
Li Nian opened the webpage and took a look, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Good guy, he is just a good guy.
Starting from the twentieth place onwards, each name listed on the Toxic Milk List will be followed by a reason.
20, clearlove.
19. C9’s AD cross-dresser Sneaky.
18. White Shield jungler, the boss gives him a Watch.
…
There are no WE players among the top 10-20.
But the highlight is yet to come.
Li Nian saw her ID.
monster, ninth place.
"This player can only be described as incredible. He is undoubtedly the savior of Team WE, but considering the small number of games and lack of experience, we will temporarily rank him ninth."
"Thank you for not killing me."
After seeing the reason behind it, Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
But think about it, ESPN does have a little authority in some sense... Well, Li Nian can't make up any more stories.
Li Nian thinks the ninth place is reasonable.
But the position of the smile is a bit scary.
Among the top three ADCs in LPL, UZI ranks fifth on the list.
Namei ranked fourth.
The third is SSW’s auxiliary mata.
Second... weixiao.
The first one is of course Dade, the founder of the Dade Award.
"Brother Cheng, your ranking is a bit high. Turtle, the world's number one ADC. Is this an official evaluation?"
Xiang Guo came over and spoke into Wei Xiao's ear.
"I don't know either. I feel like this list is not very reasonable..."
Smile said with a wry smile.
He also felt puzzled.
“It’s the economic conversion rate.”
Li Nian reminded.
If WE had not been the No. 1 seed in the LPL, this evaluation would have belonged to Nami.
The reason is simple: Nami's economic conversion rate is very high and has been very stable.
This is not unrelated to EDG's magnificent record, but Nami also played an important role in EDG during S4.
But Smile's economic conversion rate is even more terrifying, especially in the qualifiers, the duo of WE team blew up the bottom lane of all teams. In team battles, Smile is the absolute core of WE, and this has never changed.
I just feel that ADC only carries the lower limit of the bottom lane, while the upper limit is the support position.
The improvement that Li Nian brought him was terrifying.
"Is this thing authoritative? Isn't it just a list for fun?"
Xiang Guo muttered.
He is still a little vain. Although he knew it was impossible from the beginning, he still had to have a dream. When the list came out, Xiang Guo had fantasized that he could be on the list, even if it was just at the end.
But unfortunately, there is no such thing.
"I don't think so. Dade is still very strong. He has completely suppressed Faker this season. I think there is nothing wrong with him being the first."
Strawberry also came over.
Li Nian turned his head to look at Strawberry, but secretly kept a wary eye on her.
Well...regarding some of the questions regarding toxic predictions in this World Championship, you must not ask Strawberry, absolutely not!
There is something wrong with this guy. He actually believed in the toxic milk list!
While chatting, everyone had already packed up their things and prepared to go check out the temporary training ground.
This matter was proposed by Li Nian. In Li Nian's impression, the training environment in Taiwan has always been average.
If Li Nian doesn't sort out the problem of training environment first, she will definitely not be able to eat.
“Ah, this…”
Seeing the backs of the WE members, Manager Ma felt a little annoyed.
With the previous experience of S2 season, he was given a death order by President Pei.
The logistics of this World Championship must be done to the best of our ability, and the budget can be spent freely!
Manager Ma had originally planned to take the team members out for a big dinner , but looking at the situation... they won’t be able to eat for a while.
Aren’t they hungry?
Manager Ma rubbed his belly.
After getting off the plane, he kept running up and down, and received one phone call after another. He never had a rest at all.
Now he is starving.
"Oh, yes, Manager Ma, we can't finish it in a short time. Please just make us some instant noodles."
Li Nian, who was walking in front, seemed to have thought of something and turned around and waved to Manager Ma.
"Instant noodles... OK then."
Manager Ma touched his nose helplessly, then went to prepare instant noodles.
Manager Ma came back with a big bag of instant noodles for several people, some snacks such as ham sausage, and soul drinking water in a short while.
When he reached the door, Manager Ma was slightly stunned. He saw the EDG group walking out of the hotel, seemingly discussing what to eat for lunch.
Abu also noticed Manager Ma. As the coach of the team, Abu also serves as the team leader. He is also familiar with WE's new tool man.
After saying hello, Abu glanced at the plastic bag in Manager Ma's hand and said suspiciously, "This is..."
"The team members are all debugging the training machines and testing the hotel's network, so they don't have time to eat. They'll just have a bite to get by... well, you guys are busy."
After Manager Ma finished speaking, he hurried over.
The EDG members were left with different expressions.
"Fuck...are you working so hard?"
U Emperor smacked his lips and was the first to express his opinion.
Curly remained silent, while Mingkai's eyes revealed a complicated look.
Such a hard training method... is very much to his liking.
Mingkai is a very serious person.
But he didn't expect that someone could be more serious than him.
It stands to reason that after changing the environment, you should experience the local customs and culture to some extent. Besides, you should be tired after the journey, so it is reasonable to have a big meal.
But WE actually...
"Forget it, let's go back to training."
Nami suddenly said, "I won't go. I'll just make a bowl of instant noodles and train first."
After that, Nami walked back to the hotel.
The atmosphere at the dinner was wonderful.
Generally, when one person quits, a second person will naturally quit.
Curly also felt bored, so he turned around and followed Nami.
"Let's train."
Mingkai turned around third.
“This… is it?”
The corner of U Emperor's mouth twitched.
Abu had been here before, and after landing, he had been recommending a beef noodle restaurant nearby that had a very good reputation.
Adhering to the saying "dumplings on the bus, noodles off the bus", they originally planned to try it.
But how can I be in the mood now?
"Well... let's eat it when we have a chance. I'm going to buy some instant noodles. You guys go back and wait for me."
Abu thought for a moment and said.
As the coach of EDG, Abu felt pressured when he saw WE working so hard.
In terms of hard work and training attitude, has EDG ever lost to any team?
It's just beef noodles, he can go get it! Braised beef, spicy beef, all you can eat!
"Then...give me two more sausages."
"I want a Sprite."
U Emperor and Korol said one after another.
…
In WE's temporary training room.
"It's OK, the delay is not too high."
After Li Nian logged into his Korean server account and turned on customization and observed for about ten minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the fork and ate two mouthfuls of noodles.
When you are away from home, you can only leave it to chance when it comes to the quality of the network environment. It seems that WE is quite lucky in this regard.
"Oh, right."
Li Nian seemed to have suddenly thought of something: "Will the quarterfinals be divided into groups or drawn by lot this time?"
Li Nian had visited the official website before, but did not find any relevant information.
"I asked about that."
Manager Ma put down the bucket and raised his hand and said, "It seems that the plan was to implement a grouping system where A1 plays B2, C1 plays D2, but in the end it was decided to use the same lottery system as S3. The teams that enter the quarterfinals will be divided into the first and second place in the group, and then the order of the draw will be carried out without violating the premise that the next meeting of the same group can only be in the finals."
"Oh, it's different again."
Li Nian nodded suddenly.
