LOL: This man is too persuasive!

Chapter 335 Gangzi recognizes his relatives, the summer competition is coming

"Finally home!"

After a voyage of nearly 7 kilometers, passing through countries, all members of MSI returned to Shanghai.

"Wow, the air here is so sweet~"

"Unlike England, except for rainy days, there is fog!"

The first person to step off the plane was Caedrel, who was 1.84 meters tall.

Jiang Zhun followed closely behind.

"awesome!"

"This is my first time here!"

“You can actually see the moon in the night sky of the Magic City!”

Caedrel sucked in air and turned his gaze to the sky.

"It's so bright."

Jiang Zhun, who was following him, had an imperceptible smile on his lips.

Today is May 5, the tenth day of the lunar calendar.

If the final roster for the Asian Games had not been submitted before June 6, several EDG players would have had to undergo final training and screening, and everyone would have hurried back home the day after the MSI finals.

It is really possible that the EDG team, like the LPL entourage, will travel to Paris for a few more days at public expense.

When the vacation is over and I return to China, it may be around fifteen or sixteen.

At that time, the adjective in Caedrel's mouth might not be 'bright', but 'round'.

"Harmful!" Jiang Zhun rubbed his neck and shook his head, laughing in his heart: "It turns out that if you use the post bar too much, you will really become the shape of your friends. You can even think of this abstract shock wave plot."

Lord Jiang asked for advice.

Therefore, he is not the kind of person who goes his own way and doesn't care even if he knows that others hate his certain character or behavior.

Going abroad is something that many people yearn for but can only dream of.

But only after you actually go out, you will understand that in a foreign country, there are constraints everywhere, and all kinds of small things are likely to cause a lot of trouble.

Therefore, except for the first few days, when Jiang Zhun followed Yu Shuang and Xi Ran, two hosts who are good at travel guides, he spent the rest of his time either in the hotel gym or lying on the bed surfing the domestic waves.

It has to be said that netizens are getting better and better at keeping things organized.

When Jiang Zhun was browsing the resistance bar, he saw a post calling himself ‘H Xia Heavy Artillery’ and Ou Cheng ‘European Jane Proud’. He was very happy at that time.

It's a vivid but not bizarre metaphor.

"Nexus!"

"Am I going back to EDG's base to rest with you tonight?"

“Better stay in hotel”

Caedrel asked Jiang Zhun while taking a selfie with his mobile phone.

"This guy is really a smart man." Jiang Zhun admired in his heart, and then replied a little mysteriously: "According to Manager Ji's arrangement, the visit to the club will be on the 25th, which is tomorrow."

"If you want to rest in the club, of course that's no problem. There are still empty rooms at the base."

"However, I have some friends who want to meet you tonight."

Even before the knockout rounds, Caedrel received an invitation from Abramovich to visit the base with the team after MSI.

He immediately agreed and applied for a visa.

When EDG defeated FNC and won the championship, Caedrel came uninvited that night, took the champagne he had prepared long ago, and ran to the hotel contracted by Riot to celebrate his idol ‘Nexus’.

And the ‘push’ ID has been changed to [Caedrel (EDG Loyalty)].

This kind of cheating behavior shocked the manager, Abu, and privately commented: "It is really overqualified for him to work professionally."

Jiang Zhun's ability to read people is as accurate as his name.

He knew that beneath Caedrel's flamboyant behavior was his extraordinary wisdom in pursuing profit.

And I am also the beneficiary of this exaggerated behavior.

——Caedrel’s support will allow Jiang Zhun to slowly open up the European and American markets, and his personal image will gradually expand from LPL to various competition regions.

Therefore, Jiang Zhun and Caedel got along very well in the past two days, and the two got to know each other very quickly.

"Your friend?"

Caedrel was a little surprised.

Although his tough style of play in the European League has attracted many fans, he also knows that he can impress LPL audiences thousands of miles away.

Ninety-five percent, or even ninety-nine percent, of LPL viewers may have never heard of Caedrel.

"They are all professional players." Jiang Zhun explained: "Please believe me, you will be surprised later!"

……

Huangpu River.

The Bund, Xinrongji.

"I'm really jealous of cowards!"

"There are only two MSI trophies in the LPL, and they all belong to EDG. I didn't expect this year's LCK to be so good!"

"Zong Huang is not the one who enters the knockout rounds from the top!"

"Seriously, I can play in the FNC finals!"

Loud voices and vulgar language filled the box.

Even without a hint, it's easy to guess that this is a dinner between nouveau riche or brothers.

While eating the free pre-dinner snacks "almond crisps" and seasonal fruits, Zhi, Crystal Brother, Flandre, and the other three were scolding Fang Qiu like crazy and giving instructions on the field.

"You're really not good at fucking you!" Flandre looked at her increasingly fat figure and said with a smile, "Are you able to torture Khan, or can you handle Bwipo's crocodile?"

Hearing this, he chewed half of the food in his mouth and swallowed it directly into his stomach. He slapped the table with his hand and shouted loudly: "You little Holy Spear, haven't you seen me alchemize the broiler and Scout in the spring game?" Did the two top Korean mid laners in the LPL cry after being beaten?"

"Why do you say I can't do it?"

"If you were good at it, MSI wouldn't stay at home and play DJs anymore." Flandre mercilessly poked at the sore spot of the posture.

Brother Crystal, who silently ate a piece of cantaloupe, also immediately added the score: "Don't question the starting lineup as a substitute."

"Substitute!"

"Why do you say that I am Yan Junze's replacement?"

"Who will be the starter in the Spring Showdown BO5?"

"I played twice!"

Seeing the gesture, Flandre and Brother Crystal both burst out laughing.

Boom, boom.

click-

Just when he was about to reveal the case and use his absolute advantage of weight to reason with the two thin dogs in front of him, the wooden door of the box was opened.

I saw several tall figures behind the waiter.

"You guys, this is it?"

Jiang Zhun looked at Brother Crystal, Zhi, and Flandre who were sitting in front of two decorative flower pots, all looking like they had seen a ghost, and couldn't help but ask.

"This, this, this, this"

Brother Crystal pointed his index finger at Caedrel behind Jiang Zhun and became stuttering.

Gesture and Flandre shook their heads repeatedly, their eyes constantly wandering back and forth between Brother Crystal and Caedrel.

"Fanzi, why do you still have a golden-haired brother?!"

"I'm obedient!"

"This guy's head reaches to his little ginger nose, and he's 1.8 meters tall!"

"What's going on? Why do you look so similar, but your height is so different?"

Of course, it can be seen from the posture that Caedrel and Brother Crystal are not of the same skin color, but he still seizes the opportunity to taunt as much as possible in order to win back the victory.

"I, I don't know!"

"Why is this guy copying my face?"

Brother Crystal was still in surprise.

It was hard for him to imagine that with such a unique look, there would be someone else with a face so similar to his!

This is meow.

Couldn't he be the half-brother left behind after his father had an accident with Yang Ma when he was young?

Does your father really have this ability?

On the other side, Caedrel's expression was equally exaggerated - this time he really wasn't pretending!

In his heart, he has the same idea as Brother Crystal!

"Ahem, let me introduce you."

Jiang Zhun got his wish and saw Caedrel's imaginary expression when he met Brother Crystal. After saving the photo, he explained:

"This is the AD player kRYST4L of the Snake team. He scored 2015 kills in the 293 LPL Spring Split and won the title of kill king. Due to the competition format, no player has surpassed him so far."

"This is Flandre, the current top laner of Team Snake."

"This is Zz1tai, the former Sanke mid laner and now the substitute top laner of the RNG team."

After introducing the ‘Snake Team Trio’ to Caedrel in English, he switched to Chinese:

"His name is Caedrel, a jungler from EU. During this period of time, his popularity through live streaming is as fast as that of Wuhu Da Sima at the top. Then Abramovich invited him to visit the club at public expense in order to build EDG's brand."

After the introduction, the slightly cold atmosphere in the box warmed up again.

The familiar Caedrel sat next to Brother Crystal, while Jiang Zhun and the factory director sat next to each other in the remaining empty seats.

"Miss, it's time to serve~"

Seeing the waitress standing aside, she calmed down her wild look just now and pretended to be polite in her voice.

This made Flandre on the side shake her head repeatedly.

Seeing that Caedrel and Crystal Brother were both using translation software and trying to communicate there, Jiang Zhun and the factory director started chatting with Zhi Ge and Flandre before the food was served.

"Have you ordered all the dishes? When I was in Berlin, I only ate sausages. When I arrived in Paris, I ate hard bread like baguettes every morning. I lost five or six pounds while traveling abroad!"

The factory director started complaining directly, "To be honest, I haven't even recovered from jet lag. Fortunately, you didn't book a Western restaurant today, otherwise I would have spent the whole day in bed as soon as I got off the plane!"

"Actually, after the Asian Games training camp ended two days ago, Brother Crystal and I planned to return to the mountain city to prepare for the summer games. The recent version changes are a bit big."

"But thinking that we haven't gotten together for a long time, I waited for two more days in the magic city."

Brother Shengqiang explained: "To be honest, after the East-West division, although you can travel to different cities to play games, there is only one club in the mountain city, the Snakes, and you can't even visit the club. It's boring." Long time no see, everyone has everything they want to say. a lot of.

The factory director and Brother Shengqiang started talking about a wide range of topics, and everyone followed along.

"Let me tell you, during the Asian Games training, who Yan Junze was called after being selected. If EDG did not win the championship, there was a 50% chance that he would be able to play. The final training roster was announced after you won the championship the night before yesterday. Ueno Xiaojiang and Xiang Guo were locked in a direct lock, and Yan Junze’s face turned green!"

"Haha, to be honest, no one from EDG will be embarrassed by the time the lineup is confirmed!"

"The designers at Riot are really stubborn! You EDG just won the championship with the front foot, and the update of the back foot directly cut your arteries! In order to prevent Xiang Guo from being caught at level 15, following the previous version of the mage jungle equipment [Fu Neng Echo] After the enhancement, this version has adjusted the experience value of wild monsters, and the refresh time of the river swift crab has been advanced by seconds!"

After all, everyone is playing games.

Even though the Snake base and the EDG base were adjacent to each other in the past, everyone had a good relationship, and they all called each other brothers, but after chatting, they finally decided to talk about version changes.

Since EDG spent nearly a month on MSI, even though the club's remaining staff were exploring new versions and conducting various data analyses, the director still spent almost all his time studying opponents while in Europe. This directly As a result, he was not familiar with the 8.10 version that had just been launched and the 8.11 version that had already been applied in the Korean server.

After learning that in order to weaken the influence of junglers in the early stage, especially when reaching level 3, Riot has reduced the early experience of wild monsters and set up a mechanism to increase the experience of wild monsters as the level of wild monsters increases. At the same time, it has increased the supply of river swift crabs. Gold coin experience, advance its refresh time, the factory director instantly blackened.

As a former professional player and last year’s champion jungler, no one understands the ripple effects of these changes better than him!

The experience points of the red and blue buffs at level 180 have been reduced from 115 points to 10 points, while the experience points of the river swift crab have exploded 11.5 times from 1 points at all levels to 115 points at level 230 and can reach up to points as the levels increase!

what does this mean?

The value of the river swift crab is not inferior to that of a group of wild monster camps, and even its vision and acceleration effects make its value comparable to that of red and blue buffs!

Any level 2 catch or speed 3 gank will become a thing of the past because of the increased value of this river swift crab!

Because, as long as the jungle speed is slowed down or the vision is exposed online, the opponent's jungler will definitely use this information to find ways to get the Double River Crab start!

"This fist"

"MLXG frequently selected Pig Girl to use my champion skin at MSI. It was not easy to attract many players to buy it because of the special effects. As soon as the sales started to pick up, the result was a huge cut!"

The factory director gritted his teeth a little.

In the following games, the competition for river crabs will inevitably become the focus at the beginning.

Herbivorous heroes like Pig Girl and Ivern will have a hard time resisting carnivorous junglers like Leopard Girl, Gunslinger, Olaf, and Mantis in the early stage to fight for the river crabs.

Once the river crab is robbed, it is equivalent to being about 1 level behind the opponent's jungler in the early stage.

"If you can't choose Pig Girl, why can't you choose Qinggang Ying?"

"I think Xiangguo's Qinggangying is playing pretty well."

Regarding the consolation of the gesture, Jiang Zhun said: "The hero Qinggangying's level 2 jungle fighting ability is indeed strong, but I am afraid that no team will let it go when they beat our EDG."

"Uh"

Seeing the Qinggang Ying recognized by LPL and N Duo's single jinchūriki speak up, he also figured out the reason.

The mid-to-upper swing position is really hard to let go!

"Hey, to be honest, I'm really envious."

"When I was watching the live broadcast the day before yesterday, the commentator said that your EDG team won four consecutive championships in the summer, S, spring, and MSI games, and you were soft on the trophies."

"You have been working professionally for so many years"

"When you retire, let alone the cabinet in the study, even the two bedside tables won't be enough to hold trophies, right?"

Zhi Zhi suddenly lowered his loud voice and said with some sadness: "I'm afraid it will be like this box by then. There are no authentic decorations by famous artists. I can only buy two potted plants to fill the scene."

As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Crystal, who was having a heated chat with Caedrel, suddenly raised his head and stared at the posture, with a strange look in his eyes.

……

EDG team MSI won the championship, and the popularity of LPL increased again.

After three days of intense training, the Asian Games roster was finally determined. It was announced on the evening of May 5 and submitted to the Asian Games project team referees one week later:

[Coach: Ming Kai]

[Athletes: Jiang Zhun, Liu Shiyu, Su Hanwei, Jian Aoyao, Han Jin, Shi Senming]

"Hahaha, Tianye should be embarrassed!"

In the EDG training room, looking at the final roster for the Asian Games, there was laughter.

Gala, Missing, Jiejie and other team members laughed even more wildly.

As substitutes, none of them were on the first batch of rosters, or in other words, they were not eligible to participate in the training camp.

Therefore, for them, the selection of candidates for the Asian Games exhibition competition is completely a topic that can be watched from an outsider's perspective.

"Does Tian Tian have a spider sense?"

"You knew in advance that the list would be out now, so you ran to get takeout?"

The factory director's suspicion was not unreasonable.

Because Meiquan rarely gets takeout by herself, Missing, who is usually more active and greedy, picks up takeout for everyone.

"Hahaha, actually everyone already knows this."

The contestants are not announced after the training camp, but are determined by the official joint coaching team based on the training results after repeated discussions and comparisons.

The factory director, the head coach, didn’t even get involved in order to avoid suspicion!

Although this may sound unbelievable, it is true.

The most important reason why the factory director was chosen as the head coach is that he is EDG's current coach.

After all, the training roster released after EDG won the MSI championship has ensured that at least 3 people in the Asian Games team will be members of EDG!

There are many League of Legends events this year and the schedule is very tight.

The summer regular season is followed by the intercontinental competition, and then the Asian Games exhibition games are held before the summer playoffs, which means that the participating players do not have much time to run in and train.

Therefore, the coach must choose the person who is most familiar with the players and can take the players' situation into consideration when selecting heroes on the field.

As for what version of the Asian Games?

This is not important, because by then LPL’s slightly more famous analysts will be ‘recruited’ to participate in analysis and research.

"Tianye, are you back?"

Just when everyone was about to maliciously speculate on Meikou's mental state after learning that he was not selected for the Asian Games, he walked in with two large bags of takeaway.

"What's so funny"

"I already knew it."

Looking at everyone calmly, Meikuan inserted the straw into the cheese and grapes and took a deep sip. After enjoying the collision of the salty milk cap and the sweet and sour grape pulp, she said: "During the training camp, you brought me too many cow heads. !”

"After this hero was defeated in the first game of the mid-season finals, he became my inner demon."

"When they tested the hard support, they chose Niutou for me. To be honest, if Braum comes, I guarantee that it will be me and not Shi Senming."

Naturally, everyone has different views on Meikou's remarks.

But both Jiang Zhun and Mala Xiangguo knew that Meikou was not lying.

When cooperating with Sima Laothief, the girl usually chooses the ox head with the bottom lane mage and uses online combination skills.

Therefore, there is no problem with the operation of Meikou.

But when the combination of Meikun + Uzi came on the scene, Uzi, except Kai'Sa, all played traditional AD. This caused Meikun to often be unable to keep up with Uzi's offensive rhythm online.

The more times it happens, the younger sister will become anxious.

This caused him to frequently make operational mistakes such as kowtowing on the spot, or saving lives and healing the wounded and W Pu Duding.

Although Shi Senming's soft assistant is not as good as his younger sister Dunton, but compared with his hard assistant, the coaching staff will naturally rate the former much higher than his younger sister Dunton.

"Actually, command is also a reason."

Seeing Jiang Zhun start telling the truth again, Mei Kuan's expression suddenly changed.

"We are all used to it in EDG. You command during the laning phase, and then I will command the team when we look for opportunities in the later stages."

"Then during the training camp, we were assigned to the same team and there was no problem."

"But when you were on the opposite side, it was obvious that there were some problems with the team's rhythm in the mid-to-late game. Is this the reason?"

"Uh." After listening to Jiang Zhun's words, Meikou's expression returned to normal, and then she nodded her head twice, "It seems like this. I got used to online commanding in the early stage, and later I stopped talking and focused on the field of view. They didn't remind me at the time. me!"

Meikou recalled the three-day training process and regretted it endlessly.

Abu Ze, who was leaning against the pillar with his hands on his hips, said to comfort him: "It's okay. I didn't choose this time. Wait until next time. You're still young!"

"The 22 Asian Games is not an exhibition event, it is a formal event. If we win the championship, it is likely to become the first Asian Games gold medal in e-sports in domestic history!"

"But in 22 years, I am already 24." Meikou is still a little unwilling.

"Keep training, have a scientific schedule, and don't talk about your girlfriend. Are you still worried that your career lifespan will not reach 24?"

Jiang Zhun clapped his fingers and said: "E-sports is a competition of state. A few days ago, when I introduced to Yangfan that Crystal was the kill king of the 15 Spring Split, he was surprised that he had never heard of the player KRYST4L. !”

The ‘Yangfan’ that Jiang Zhun refers to is Caedrel.

Because he had almost the same appearance as Brother Crystal, everyone changed Brother Crystal's real name to Yang Fan and gave Caedrel a nickname.

This guy started his trip after visiting the EDG club a few days ago.

It is said that he also specially registered a Bilibili account to share his videos.

"really."

The factory director was also a little sad.

If his condition can be maintained, he will not choose to retire and become a coach after winning the world championship this season.

"Let's focus on the present!"

"The summer racing has begun. We have been playing in version 8.8 for too long because of MSI, and we haven't explored the version enough."

"Now that the Asian Games roster has been finalized, there is no need to think about it."

Manager Abramovich showed off his top-notch skills in making chicken soup and filling chicken soup, "Looking realistically, our goal is to be top two in the summer regular season and win the playoffs!"

"The most important thing to do now is to prepare for the summer split debut!"

"As far as I know, there are several teams that want to take advantage of our unsteady foothold in the new version and blitz us two weeks before the summer split."

"Everyone, cheer up!"

"Let them know that not everyone can win the Spring Split Championship or the MSI Championship!"

Summer Split LPL has reorganized the groups based on the results of the Spring Split:

East: EDG, RW, BLG, SNG, JDG, VG, LGD

West: RNG, IG, Snake, FPX, WE, OMG, TOP

Compared with the spring game, there are changes from Jiaotong University.

The top four teams in the spring split have all changed divisions except RW.

This is a new test for all teams in the two divisions!

According to the LPL official schedule, it is easy to guess the teams that Abramovich mentioned as wanting to shine on EDG.

"RW and JDG?"

"Our first show seems to be JDG."

The factory director stared at the big red Pekingese icon with his dead fish eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

The team members are all training intensely, and he also needs to do some things that a coach should do!

The opening of this year’s summer split has been brought forward to June 6th!
