Volume 2 Chapter 135 Looking forward to the World Championship!
【LPL won the Intercontinental Championship! 】
【3-0! The champion is undoubted! 】
[Who is the top league? Let LPL tell you now! ]
The marketing campaign has already begun.
Every time this happens, it’s basically a carnival for them. They’re a group of people who just want traffic and don’t care about that.
On Weibo, fans of major teams also started the party.
"Awesome! RNG!"
"Awesome! EDG!"
"Cool! OMG!"
"Can WE be handsome without them? Yes!"
Long before the Intercontinental Championship, who could have imagined that the outcome of the Intercontinental Championship would be like this?
If you said before the Intercontinental Championship that LPL could beat LCK 3-0, who would believe it?
This stuff sounds a bit far-fetched.
Now LPL doesn’t have a single S-level championship, and it can be said that it has absolutely no confidence at all.
In this situation, if you say something like 3-0 LCK, everyone would think it's outrageous.
In fact, Korean audiences also find it outrageous.
Now, their mentality has undergone a subtle change.
If we talk about the mentality when they lost to EDG at MSI, it was probably like this:
Damn! LPL stole my game!
Now, after being beaten 3-0 in the Intercontinental Championship, their mentality has completely changed:
Could it be that they really have some strength?
You know, most of the current LCK viewers didn’t take LPL seriously at all.
What the hell is LPL? It's just a bunch of crap competing for second place with European and American dudes.
However, the LPL, which they did not think was strong at all, beat them 3-0 in a match among the top teams in the Asia Challenge.
Three to zero!
Strictly speaking, this is a complete crushing defeat.
How could they bear this?
A group that competed with Europe and the US for second place, now they beat our invincible LCK 3-0! ?
Is this true or false?!
This is my current mentality, I am really sweating profusely.
Among them, which team do LCK audiences hate the most?
Without a doubt, SKT.
You know, a big tree attracts the wind.
As the champion team of S6, SKT should shoulder the responsibility.
If you don't win the championship, why do you let others win it?
That doesn't make sense .
What's the result?
At MSI, the Korean audience was preparing to watch LCK bully LPL, but SKT was beaten 3-2 by EDG.
Who can accept this?
I was already feeling very unhappy and had already started cursing.
As a result, you met EDG in the Intercontinental Championship and lost again!
Who would believe you if you said SKT is not EDG’s biological son?
"kkk, if EDG's friends have a celebration party after the game, they won't start unless SKT is there, right?"
"This is outrageous and disappointing. Ah Xi, how did our LCK become like this?!"
"Shit, how can we protect LCK together with this group of filial guys!"
"SKT is so ugly. How many more championships will they give to LPL?"
"Every time SKT plays EDG, it always feels like there's nothing to show for them. Are you scared? If you're really scared, just get lost next time! Coward team!"
"Next time, transfer more Korean won to EDG's account so they can be more gentle!"
SKT was undoubtedly the one that suffered the most.
Especially Bang, because he basically didn't perform well every time he played against Xu Yuan, he naturally became the target of concentrated fire.
I can only say that Bang is indeed a bit difficult to handle.
At this moment, Xu Yuan was watching the Pressure Resistance Bar happily.
This thing is really interesting!
The main thing is that the games are won, if we don’t watch the resistance then what’s the point?
Not only does he watch, he also sets the pace himself.
"Now there's not even a rating post, it really doesn't have that flavor anymore."
Xu Yuan smacked his lips.
A stress-resistant bar without scoring stickers is like the West without Jerusalem.
Then what's the point?
Without hesitation, post directly.
"The Intercontinental Championship is over. I'll send you the finalists for you to rate!"
Because he used to post frequently in the Anti-Stress Forum for a while, some people still knew him.
"You B again?"
"Damn it, you only come out after every game. I didn't see you during the game. How come your schedule is completely different from those of Rock Sugar Man and Bullfrog?"
"You're not really a professional player, are you?"
Xu Yuan’s anti-bar ID is “I am truly a professional player”.
The main focus is confusion!
As long as he says that he is a professional player, the maggot babies will definitely not believe it.
It’s all about psychology.
However, it seems that because Xu Yuan always posts after the game, he has still attracted some people's attention.
Could it be that this B is really a professional player?
When Xu Yuan saw this reply, his smile froze instantly.
Damn, you can guess this?
It shouldn’t be that serious, right?
If this account was really revealed to someone, he couldn't even imagine how people would laugh at the forum.
Fortunately, this person was immediately sprayed by the other maggot babies.
"You're older? Can this be true?"
"I don't believe that there are professional players who would deliberately choose a nickname like this to claim they are professional. Are you the poster's smurf?"
"Hahaha, does anyone really believe that?"
Seeing that the protesters remained skeptical as always, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
fine!
"What do you want to eat tonight? The boss wants to treat you to dinner when we get back."
Abu said with a smile.
At this time, several people were already on the plane returning.
After all, Kaohsiung... To be honest, there's not much to do and I'm unfamiliar with the place.
When I really come back in the future, I will have plenty of time to come and play.
There's no rush now.
"I can do it all. Brother Yuan played really well in this intercontinental tournament."
Meiko stretched and spoke with soft eyes.
He didn't know when it started, but he started calling Xu Yuan "brother".
I can only say that Meiko really understands.
"It's okay, the incense burner is just too strong."
Xu Yuan shook his head indifferently.
"I can eat anything except beef."
"I know. You said you don't eat beef."
Mingkai complained.
"It's really hard to understand people who don't eat beef. Isn't this stuff delicious?"
Xu Yuan smiled but said nothing.
Smeb lay in the chair, looking out the window at the dark night sky.
Deep down, there was an excitement that had yet to be suppressed.
He finally did it!
In this intercontinental competition, he defeated SKT head-on.
And twice!
Just a few months ago, SKT seemed invincible.
And now, SKT seems to be nothing.
All these changes...
Smeb's gaze could not help but fall on Xu Yuan who was sitting in front of him, in silence.
His choice, from now on.
At least there's no problem.
The entire LPL has fallen into a carnival, including...
White Star!
As the boss of RNG, after RNG won the first game, Bai Xing, who had turned off his phone, immediately turned it on again.
After sending out a Weibo post announcing the lucky draw, I started thinking about it.
How can we obtain greater benefits?
For a capitalist like Bai Xing, he really doesn't care who wins or loses.
Unless there is a vested interest.
And now, RNG won the first game, which was undoubtedly very crucial.
This naturally made him think.
Just start mobilizing the internet trolls now and brag about RNG’s role in this intercontinental tournament as much as possible.
Will we be able to... seize the fruits of victory?
Do it when you think of it!
He immediately called his assistant.
"Go find an operator right now. Use the same method as before to maximize our impact!"
"We really are very useful this time!"
"As long as we work hard, then the team that contributes the most will definitely become our RNG."
Shirahoshi has always felt that winning a competition is not a big deal.
The real ability is to be able to get enough benefits after winning.
That's why he markets himself as a fan of Uzi.
Actually... no one really thinks he is an Uzi fan, right?
If he is really a fan of Uzi, would he cut Uzi's contract like those Uzi fanatics say?
This is very contradictory.
Which fan would block the contract of their favorite player?
Because I like you, I have to keep you in my hands, or you have to retire?
What a yandere.
Either Uzi's contract has not been blocked, or Shirahoshi is just talking nonsense.
Everyone can figure out the truth for themselves.
For Bai Xing, as long as he can attract more fans and make more money, he doesn't care what means he uses.
And it's not just him, other clubs, including Edzhu, are actually similar.
The club owner doesn't run it for charity.
So here comes the problem, there are only a few clubs that make money.
How do clubs that don't make money survive?
Some LDL teams have been exposed to be solely responsible for helping their bosses launder money.
LDL is really dirty.
This is also the reason why Xu Yuan doesn't want to start playing in LDL.
He doesn't want to be forced into a fake match.
Even if Xu Yuan didn't fight, he had no ability to do anything to Gouzhuang.
All capitalists are similar; no one is more "human-like" than another.
Ed Zhu's response was quick.
Or rather, he wanted to do so.
It’s just that Bai Xing’s movements were too fast. Before he could make up his mind, Bai Xing had already started to exert his strength.
This made Edward Zhu very anxious.
However, his confrontation with Shirahoshi is a story for later.
With all the teams returning to their respective regions, the 2017 Asia Challenge officially came to an end.
This was undoubtedly a sad game for LCK.
This was the first time in the finals that they were suppressed by LPL from beginning to end and had no ability to resist at all.
Although they say, "It's nothing more than BO1, we are better at BO3 and BO5!"
But they also know it in their hearts.
If you lose, you lose. There is no point in saying anything.
For the LPL which is in the dark, this intercontinental competition is of greater significance.
MSI may also indicate that perhaps only EDG is strong.
To exaggerate a bit, it is Xu Yuan alone who is very strong.
This is meaningful, but relatively small.
It is difficult for just one talented player to save the level of the entire region.
It can only be regarded as a lighthouse struggling to hold on in the endless darkness of the sea.
The 3-0 victory in the Intercontinental Championship truly made LPL see the dawn of victory.
In this long night, the first ray of dawn finally appeared in the distant sky.
Can the long night finally end?
Nobody knows.
Even Xu Yuan himself didn't know.
But as a player, the only thing he can do is to play well in every game and not miss any opportunity.
In S13, the former S10 world champion DK fell in the round of 16.
Mid laner Xu Xiu once said: I have to think about whether this is my only chance in this life.
In fact, it might be true.
Fortunately, he did get hold of the S10.
Xu Yuan didn't want to miss any opportunity, no matter how slim it was.
The same thing.
Whether you can win or not, you will only know after fighting.
Summer season, continue!
Without much rest, the LPL summer season continued.
The Intercontinental Championship itself is a mid-season competition set up by Riot, and after you finish it, you have to come back to play in the summer season.
It is natural that things are back on track now.
In the following summer season, the strength of the four teams in the Intercontinental Championship began to clearly pull away from the other LPL teams.
The weakest is undoubtedly RNG.
After all, with their system, although the Censer version was easier to master, they didn't start trying it until the finals.
In this case, the understanding of the incense burner is naturally still relatively preliminary.
The strongest ones are naturally WE and EDG.
Although WE did not appear in the Intercontinental Championship, their strength is still real.
In addition, head coach Hongmi has always had a strong ability to read and develop the version, so they adapt very quickly.
In the following LPL regular season, the two teams became the two greatest teams of the moment and hardly lost even a small game.
And it was at this time, with Faker using [hide on bush] to queue up with an A-walking monster and then reporting it, the censer system officially appeared in front of all teams in all regions and became the most popular system in all major regions.
Under such circumstances, Xu Yuan is still evolving steadily.
Each version plays differently.
As an ADC, Xu Yuan knows it very well.
The most important emphasis in the Censer version seems to be team battles, but it does not mean that a strong combination in the early stage cannot win the line.
As long as you beat the opponent badly enough in the early stage, they will not have the money to make an incense burner.
Then the cost of paying for hard support is still acceptable.
"Let us congratulate EDG! They ended the regular season of this summer season with a near-perfect victory!"
"EDG is now in first place in points and has a good chance of winning the No. 1 seed representing LPL this year."
"Let us wait and see!"
With the end of the last regular season game, the summer season playoffs are about to begin in full swing.
If EDG can win the summer finals, then there is no doubt that they will become the No. 1 seed of LPL in S7.
After all, the points of the Spring Championship are completely incomparable to those of the Summer Championship. After winning the Spring Championship, if the summer season is in poor condition, you have to play the bubble game honestly.
Of course, if EDG loses, that won’t be necessary.
Because he has the highest points now.
The number one seed is Xia Guan.
The second seed is the team with the most points throughout the year and is also the team most likely to make it out of CJB.
But there is still a small vacation before the playoffs.
After all, the players are also human beings, and it is not possible for them to withstand such high-intensity competition all the time.
And Xu Yuan, naturally, started the live broadcast.
The signed contract already included the clause for live broadcasting. The money was not particularly high, but it was not small either.
For people like Xu Yuan, they have to broadcast it if they can.
"The Birth Cow is not online. I miss him."
Looking at the empty friend list and the blacked-out nickname of Niu Niu.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
How can I live without you, Niu Niu!
