There is usually a handshake after the game, but this time Xu Yuan didn't say much, just patted Li Xianghe on the shoulder.
Lao Fei, go back and practice for another two years.
If this was a world game and everyone was on the same team, I would praise you for playing well, but this is the Asian Games so I can only say that you still need to practice.
Li Xianghe was indeed a little disappointed.
After all, this is a national honor. It is a pity that we failed to win it. The next Asian Games will be four years later.
Such a long time...
Whether I can make it, and how much of my peak strength I can exert after making it, are basically unknown.
Unless your opponent's mid laner is useless, it will be difficult to win.
Li Xianghe has always had a clear understanding of himself.
Smeb couldn't hide the regret in his expression.
Military service...
If you can really win, there is a high probability that you will be exempted.
He is almost at the age where he can serve in the military. No matter how much the club helps with the paperwork, it is basically reaching its limit.
But although he felt very sorry, he still hit Xu Yuan on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile.
"Shit, your excellent performance makes me feel a little sick."
As a teammate, he was naturally happy to see Xu Yuan perform well, because it meant that he was still in great shape.
But if the target of this heroic act is oneself, that would not be a pleasant experience.
Forget it, it’s just the first Asian Games that e-sports has entered, and it’s essentially an exhibition match.
Even if you win, it doesn't guarantee that you will be exempted from military service.
Smeb finds joy in the midst of adversity.
But unlike the two of them, Emperor Chi was already covering his face and crying at this time.
The two brothers, Smeb and Faker, played very well today.
In the second game, Smeb's Fiora was also targeted by the strategy, not because he played badly.
Even though Korean netizens have plenty of martial virtues, they still have some sense, albeit not much.
So I would be more lenient towards them.
Jungler Peanut also played well in the first game today and was not in a daze throughout.
Support? It’s hard to blame the support for a team’s loss. If the bottom lane collapses, it’s usually thought to be the AD’s fault.
Therefore, the Emperor Chi was in trouble.
Because his little cannon is really too disadvantageous.
Now his name is probably on the kill list of Korean audiences.
Maybe the day you return home will be the day when your hatred will boil over.
Thinking about it...
Ah Xi, I became a war criminal! ?
His crying at this time was very sincere, not only because of losing the game, but also because of the public opinion that might come.
Even when he stood on the podium, he was still crying silently and wiping his eyes.
In a sense, Chidi is smart.
Showing sadness now can somewhat reduce the incoming firepower.
At least some Korean audiences would think that he still has the intention to mend his ways.
The joys and sorrows of different people are different.
Xu Yuan stood on the highest gold medal podium, thinking seriously about a very nonsensical question:
Eat something to fill your stomach first.
How about going to the lounge and getting some fries?
Unlike the gold and silver medalists, the Wanwan team was standing on the bronze medal podium with excited expressions and even cheering.
The organizer came up with the medals and first gave the bronze medal to the Wanwan team.
Kasa lowered his head and let the organizer put the bronze medal on him, then he lowered his head and bit the medal.
He took the champagne handed to him by the organizer, cheered and opened it.
Xu Yuan:?
field:?
Lee Sang Hyuk:?
Smeb: ???
Several people turned their heads and looked at Kasa at the same time, making Kasa's face blush.
"It's so funny, what bronze champagne, can pizza be so perverted?"
"Don't say it, don't say it! Our compatriots are actually happier than the Korean team right now, because they can't beat China and Korea. Getting third place is a success, but the Korean team can't accept runner-up!"
"Long live 60 points, one point more is a waste!"
Karsa actually didn't want to do it, but the coach told him that he didn't know whether he could come next time, so he might as well start it first.
So he opened it.
Silver medals and gold medals were hung around the necks of the athletes one by one, and behind their podium, three flags were ready.
The one in the middle is naturally the Chinese team.
Just at this moment, passionate music suddenly sounded.
Xu Yuan's expression instantly became solemn.
It is undeniable that no country is perfect, but after all, it has raised us and deserves respect.
For some reasons, I won’t go into details about the lyrics.
As the music gradually faded away, the Chinese team's flag was already flying at the top.
This is the significance of the Asian Games!
At this time, the barrage of comments was already filled with comments like "Awesome!"
This scene at this moment will surely become a memory of youth in the hearts of many people.
And in the distant country, the old village chief smiled, and the parents of other contestants also smiled.
There was only pride in their smiles.
At this moment, the 2018 Jakarta League of Legends competition has officially ended!
As soon as the Chinese team stepped down, they were blocked by various media, while Abramovich only chose to accept domestic interviews.
"Excuse me, contestant Xu Yuan, how do you feel now that you have won the Asian Games as you wished?"
Xu Yuan glanced at the interviewer and smiled.
"Now? I feel relieved. I feel like I have finally fulfilled my mission."
"For me, since I am playing in this capacity, winning is something I must do."
“I’m very happy and excited.”
The 2018 Jakarta Asian Games was already won, with the Chinese team beating South Korea 3-1.
Although the lineups of both China and South Korea have changed, Xu Yuan’s goal for himself is not to be worse than the original Uzi.
It is indeed more difficult, after all, Smeb and Lee Sang-hyuk are in much better condition than before.
However, since so many fans support him, the higher-ups also trust him.
He must not lose.
This is the simplest logic in Xu Yuan’s mind.
Although he used to hate people who praised Uzi as a spectator, he also sincerely praised Uzi for being awesome at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games.
Without further ado, Xu Yuan smiled and declined the next question, then followed his teammates backstage.
Only a tall and straight figure wearing the Asian Games jacket was left.
Behind him, [CHINA] is so conspicuous.
As the game came to an end, major media outlets immediately began reporting on it.
Xiao Tuantuan: "In the just concluded first League of Legends exhibition match of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team in the final with a score of 3-0, winning another gold medal for our country. Congratulations to them!"
CCTV Sports Channel: "Recently, our Asian Games athletes crushed South Korea and won another gold medal, which indicates that the emerging sport called e-sports has now begun to flourish. Let us congratulate them!"
Xinhua News Agency: "Xinhua News Agency reported that at 7:32 pm on August 29, 2018, my country's League of Legends team defeated the South Korean team 3-0 and won another gold medal!"
Ziguangge: "A new era requires a new atmosphere. The future is led by new forces. What is e-sports?"
The first to be affected are the four top official media outlets.
Although the League of Legends project cannot be included in the news broadcast yet, after all, the current environment does not support it.
However, on platforms like Weibo and Bilibili, the authorities did not ignore it and gave it due publicity.
It's just the times.
The news of winning the gold medal in League of Legends shot to the top of Weibo’s trending searches in less than ten minutes.
Three to zero, and we were still beating the South Korean team.
This is so inspiring!
Coupled with the serious coverage by official media, many veteran players were moved to tears.
Because when they were little...
E-sports?
This thing was called electronic heroin at that time.
However, not everyone is happy.
For example, the female fans of a top male star who bought trending searches.
Seeing that their brother’s hot searches were about to reach number one as they wished, and seeing several League of Legends-related hot searches suddenly pop up and surpass their favorite brother, they were really furious.
“＃紫光阁讨论esports haha, who bought this trending search, how shameless, I have never heard of esports, Purple Light Pavilion? Judging from the name, it should be a restaurant, they must use gutter oil every day!”
"So disgusting, who on earth is maliciously putting it on the trending search? The fans of the rival team are so unreasonable."
These comments are really upsetting.
Even Xu Yuan, who had been through many battles and had practiced in Tieba for many years and had already cultivated an innate abstract holy body, could not help but laugh out loud.
Ziguangge has actually become a restaurant, and it even uses gutter oil.
In ancient Greece, he was more or less the god of humor.
It's similar to Luo Tianyi's lip-syncing.
At this time, he had already boarded the bus back to the dormitory and would set off for home tomorrow.
He really replied, not like Boss Jia.
The forum also started to have heated discussions, but this time what they were discussing was a little strange.
A maggot baby named Bullfrog Frog posted a very popular post.
"Let's have a rational discussion. Is this battle ranking reasonable?"
T0: Constant temperature, China flying, healthy sun, Asian Games Yuan
T1: Vampire Chicken, Steady Water, Kunming Tiger, Fantasy
T2: Dopa is not allowed, Lian is heartbroken, and the culture is the problem
As soon as this post was released, both the haters and fans of these contestants could no longer hold back.
"Damn, Constant Temperature Zi is outrageous. Even my dog ​​Hei can't hold it anymore. If Wu Zi can really mature, it will be really fierce."
"Zhongguo Fei really deserves T0. If Faker was Chinese, LPL would have been unified."
"Healthy Shy is worth it for not soloing with Trash Can theshy, right? I don't feel T0, brother, what championship are you and Uzi?"
"The vampire chicken is really fine. Like the steady water, it is at the top level. The broiler chicken really likes to give up resources, and Ah Shui is really wasteful."
"The people of Kunming are laughing so hard, because our seasons are like spring, so every day is spring for the Kunming tiger, which just happens to trigger the passive skill of the Spring Tiger Emperor, right?"
"What is the meaning of Fantasy Let?"
"Is it possible that this is literally what Letme imagines himself to be?"
"Even my fantasy self can't reach T0? Suddenly I feel a little sorry for him."
"It's too classic that dopa is not banned. Everyone says dopa is awesome, saying that if he is not banned, he will be another Faker in the professional arena. These people are really like horses."
"Could the Broken Heart Lotus be referring to Tian Ye after Deft returned to Korea in the early stages of S7? Did he still have a big move to summon a newcomer Yuan? Then it makes sense that he's on the list."
"Cultural hotpot is outrageous, spicy hotpot has culture, so you don't have to be afraid to travel around the world, right?"
I can only say that at the end of August, the popularity of this post was indeed a bit exaggerated.
Because it envisions the upper limit of the players, and it also comes with many jokes.
So it became popular immediately.
However, Xu Yuan didn't look at it for long.
There was no other reason, he had seen this job before.
Without cheerfulness and unity, I can only say that I cannot get his recognition.
After returning to LPL, the EDG players immediately began preparing for the playoffs.
Although they didn't train together much during the Asian Games, the players' individual training volume was no less.
After all, all five players in the S8 EDG lineup have basically entered this year's Asian Games, but three are in China and two are in South Korea.
The status is still impeccable.
Although from a competitive perspective, the Asian Games is not as valuable as the S Games.
Even compared with the value of MSI, it may not have any decisive advantage.
However, the level of competition is definitely higher within the competition area.
Therefore, there is no problem with the players’ individual conditions, the only problem is the running-in process.
We haven't played together for a few weeks, so it will take some time to regain our rapport.
It is much easier for a team that has already worked well together to regain its tacit understanding.
Tencent Esports specifically adjusted EDG's schedule because the Asian Games is definitely more important than the regular season and it needs to give way to it.
So EDG has finished the regular season a long time ago, and now that they are back, they have quite a bit of time to adjust.
The eight playoff teams were officially announced on September 2nd.
Eastern Conference: IG, RNG, JDG, SNG
Western Conference: EDG, RW, TOP, FPX
All I can say is that Tencent Esports doesn’t understand grouping.
If SNG and JDG are put together, won't they have a real fight?
Rather than saying it is SNG vs. JDG, it would be more accurate to say it is Suning.com vs. JD.com.
A pure e-commerce war, isn't that interesting?
The current rule is that the third in the Eastern Conference plays against the fourth in the Western Conference, and the fourth in the Eastern Conference plays against the third in the Western Conference.
So JDG's opponent is FPX, not SNG.
Xu Yuan was quite disappointed.
Back in June, JDG mid laner Toothpaste was fined two Dabului.
The reason for the fine is actually a bit funny. It was because he typed a sentence on the public screen during the game against SNG on June 18:
618, go to JD.com!
The SNG players at that time were all confused.
It is worth mentioning that after Yagao was fined two dabuluo by the LPL official, the JDG club subsequently rewarded him with five dabuluo.
All in all, Toothpaste made a huge profit of 30,000 yuan with just one sentence.
It also adds a bit of black humor to the incident.
Time passed little by little, and Xu Yuan did not pay attention to any hype about him on the Internet. Instead, he calmed down and began to improve his hero proficiency.
In the eyes of many teams, his hero pool is already difficult to target, so they simply give up.
However, Xu Yuan himself was not satisfied.
In every version, there are always some heroes who become popular, and Xu Yuan’s ultimate goal is to become an ADC that is not affected by the version.
So, how can we do this?
Xu Yuan's idea is similar to Da Gu's in a sense:
In that case, wouldn't it be enough to train everything to the top level from the beginning?
Therefore, although in the eyes of many people Xu Yuan is now successful and famous, he also maintains a very high competitive level.
It's about time to relax.
However, Xu Yuan never thought about it this way.
Before winning the championship, the enemies were players from other teams.
After winning the championship, the enemy has become myself.
"Let's take a break. The training is almost over anyway."
"It's okay to slack off once in a while. We've already won the championship, right?"
"Why do you work so hard every day? If you train hard before winning the championship and train hard after winning the championship, then the championship will be won in vain!"
Such thoughts have caused many players who have the potential and ability to compete for a second championship to sink.
Humans are naturally lazy, and many tools were invented to save energy and make things more convenient for ourselves.
For a successful champion, the most important thing in the second year of winning the championship is to maintain an enterprising spirit.
Although Abu has become a manager now, he still likes to walk around the entire training room with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Xu Yuan working as hard as ever, Abu couldn't help but nod secretly.
There is a reason why some people are successful.
Abu always felt that EDG was lucky to have Xu Yuan now.
If EDG is Cao Cao, then Xu Yuan is as important to it as Guan Yu.
Abu thought that some local specialties seemed to have been sent to him from home recently.
I'll send it to our Yunchang later!
The first playoff game starts at 4:30 p.m. on September 5th.
The TOP team will face the SNG team.
After the return of White Crescent, TOP team's performance in the summer season has improved greatly.
Although Yaya has always been famous for pig brain overload.
But there is good news:
Many LPL coaches don’t even have a pig brain and can only copy BP.
The current jungler xx of the TOP team has shown obvious growth.
In the S8 Summer Season, xx was undoubtedly the pillar of the TOP team. As the first person to be banned for laughing while losing a game, xx has now completely transformed.
While his playing style is aggressive, his ability to seize opportunities and his early-game rhythm are excellent.
Laugh and hate all your life, and there is no joy in it.
xx stopped smiling, but he did become stronger.
SNG mainly relies on the top lane to set the pace.
Now their path is Wolf Walk.
Although due to his not-so-brilliant performance in subsequent international competitions, Langxing was ridiculed as a dog crawling or a bank.
But it doesn’t mean that Langxing is bad. He is really good in the top lane of LPL today.
On the Nakano side are Hacker Ultraman and Black Angel Angle.
Although this mid-jungle duo is still relatively immature, they have played very well.
Because TOP was in the lead, they started with a one-to-zero lead.
It doesn't look like there's much suspense.
The configuration of SNG is just like that. TOP doesn't seem to have any pressure. He can win by winning two more games.
However, in reality, this game made TOP sweat.
Although the score was one to zero at the start, we started directly from the second round.
However, TOP was beaten by SNG in the second and third games.
If we don't count the point given by their ranking advantage, they were beaten 0-2.
Fortunately, White Crescent stopped messing around afterwards, and after Moyu was substituted in, they finally defeated SNG.
Perhaps from this moment on, a ghost, a ghost named Zhenghuo, has been floating above TOP.
That’s why TES, a top-level live team that inherited the name of TOP, emerged later.
TES is simply the Florida of LPL, they really don't keep any idle people.
The top laner of the team is Qingtian, the first person to fight against Faker.
The second team's jungler is Naiyou, who invented the word krd. His classic phrase "krd, i kill u mom" is simply a unique skill.
Many years later, when White Crescent and his most loyal Top Esports lost to Vietnam in the S12 World Championship and were eliminated, I wonder if he would remember this classic comeback from 2-0 down?
The second game between JDG and FPX was not interesting at all, Xu Yuan was too lazy to even watch it.
The weaknesses of these two teams are too obvious. What's the point of studying how to beat them?
Just let Xiaotian catch it at level 2, and Xu Yuan will be the C.
EDG is first in the Western Conference and IG is first in the Eastern Conference, so both of them will be directly promoted to the semifinals.
There is nothing to pay attention to except for
Without much rest, the second round of the playoffs began soon.
"Today is RNG playing against TOP?"
"Want to see it?"
Li Xianghe smiled and spoke.
"Forget it, they are not on the same level."
Xu Yuan just shook his head and continued to rank.
Although TOP has some strength, it is really only a little.
Even though RNG suffered a defeat at the hands of EDG this season, in fact, RNG still has the same dominance as before.
It's just that I'm a little lacking in self-confidence, which is normal.
Can you feel invincible if you keep losing to the same team?
RNG directly defeated TOP 3 to 1 easily.
This also made RNG fans happy.
"Why should I watch RNG's games? As long as they're not playing against EDG, it's another victory when I wake up!"
"Xiaogou is really awesome. He is the real No. 1 in LPL in my heart."
“EDG is waiting!”
Don’t worry about whether you can win or not, just point the sword first.
The emperor has been suppressed by the pigs for a long time.
It's just that they really can't do it, so they have to endure it even if they want to open the champagne.
On the other side, JDG defeated FPX and then sent RW away.
RW had a winning streak at the beginning of the summer season and was considered a dark horse.
However, they were ultimately unable to go all the way, and after being studied in the playoffs, they were simply unable to win.
Top dark horse teams like IM no longer exist.
After the game, Big B cried bitterly in the live broadcast room.
His current ID is "Jin Gugu wants to go to S8".
At this time, Big B was at the real low point in his life.
After transferring from JDG to RW, RW did give him some hope at the beginning, but this hope was eventually shattered.
One sentence can best describe Big B's current mental state:
I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.
If there really was no chance at all, Big B wouldn't be so sad.
However, this seemingly promising opportunity was finally ruthlessly , which was a huge blow to him.
At this stage of the playoffs, the final four have been officially decided.
EDG and IG, the two top teams, were directly promoted to the semi-finals based on their regular season rankings.
Then there is RNG, which is defending its ranking, and JDG, a team that came up from the bottom half.
The first match of the semi-finals was a very exciting game.
EDG vs. RNG!
The most classic pig-dog fight is here.
Although the pig has now retired, EDG's pig farm no longer has its director.
However, it was Xu Yuan who replaced him.
Every time Uzi thought about this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Mingkai is fine, at least he is not in the same position.
Even if we lose, we can say it was because Mingkai targeted us.
However, Xu Yuan has defeated Uzi many times in laning phase, which also made Uzi have more subtle doubts about his own laning ability.
Will I never be able to defeat Xu Yuan in this life?
The fact that Uzi, who is naturally proud, could think this way can only mean that Xu Yuan’s previous move was... somewhat too harsh.
On the morning of the game, the atmosphere in the RNG training room was unusually serious.
"This game is very important!"
The current coach, Sun Dayong, had a serious expression on his face and set the tone with his first sentence.
"Although we have a lot of points in the spring season, if we lose to EDG in the semifinals and IG beats JDG, their points will be higher than ours."
"If EDG wins, IG will be the second seed entering the World Championship, and we can only play in the bubble match."
He took a deep breath.
"Everyone, you don't want to play in the bubble match, right?"
In fact, even if the points are the same, it is useless, because the points weight of the summer season is higher than that of the spring season. If the scores are the same, the results of the summer season will prevail.
If IG makes it to the finals and RNG loses in the semifinals.
Then IG's qualification as the second seed is set in stone.
After hearing his words, the contestants' faces turned serious.
World Championship, who doesn’t want to go?
As for whether they have the confidence to win the bubble match, the RNG players do have it.
But the problem is that playing in the bubble game is not stable and it is easy to be targeted tactically.
This is a very reluctant choice for a team like theirs with a relatively single tactical system.
Therefore, it would be best if we could steadily advance to the World Championship.
However, if RNG wants to win stably, the only way is to beat EDG.
But EDG...is it that easy to win?
KZ from the neighboring LCK is still hanging on the old crooked tree!
The dominance of this EDG is unquestionable, it's simply despairing.
We can only hope that Riot will revamp the World Championship version and target them hard.
"I know that people don't have much confidence, and I am the same."
Sun Dayong frankly admitted this.
"But think about it, how many of the so-called galactic battleships can win all the way to the end?"
"Even if it's EDG, I think they will lose the game one day."
"And the only team that is qualified to beat them is RNG."
You win, win, win, but in the end you can only lose, lose, lose!
EDG will definitely be targeted by this version in the World Championship, and Sun Dayong believes in Riot's wisdom.
"There is no way back. Forget about the bubble game. We have only one primary goal."
He paused.
"Beat EDG and break their myth!"
At the same time when Sun Dayong was giving a speech, Xu Yuan was meticulously packing up his peripherals.
After confirming that there was no problem, he closed the door and walked downstairs to the lobby.
"Yes, it's not too late to get up today."
Coach kkoma confirmed the number of people.
He pondered for a moment and had no intention of making a long speech.
The strength is there, and we are so confident.
"As long as we play normally, we will definitely be the No. 1 seed."
"Not getting the No. 1 seed is a failure. This is not because I put pressure on you, but because you are the best players."
Coach kkoma spoke calmly and smiled.
"I have no doubt about this!"
"Let's go."
"Send them to play the bubble game."
