LOL: Brother Koi, stop showing off!

Chapter 208 The Godfather Effect
It is common to be given a few free meals.

Stupid Ji thought that when he was at the barbecue stall, he often invited Li Jin and Li Sang Hyuk to drink Coke.

However, as he returned to the backstage surrounded by his teammates and having fun, Benji was relieved.

He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time since leaving the barbecue.

That night, it was drizzling like silk in the Magic City, the north wind was blowing, and the temperature was even lower.

But Snake's morale was high from before to after the game. Everyone put great enthusiasm into training and didn't rest until twelve o'clock in the evening.

Because they started with two consecutive wins in big games and four consecutive wins in small games, the boss of the Snakes, Mr. Orochi, also came to the club to experience the new atmosphere.

Vibrant vitality, rarely seen in the past.

I have been hearing feedback from Shuangquan and others that the club has changed a lot. Snake always had something to do and did not come to see it. Now I have gained some knowledge.

It hasn't been this formal since Snake's inception.

Like a group of sheep running around, a shepherd suddenly came.

According to WE insiders, Li Jin has changed their team culture.

It sounded a bit exaggerated at the time. How could a professional player be so capable?
Now it seems that what was said was true.

After observing in the training room for a while, Chris closed the door. Snake always asked Chris and Zuo Wu in a low voice outside the door.

"Is this how you practiced a week ago?"

Zuo Wu shook his head: "Since Li Jin came."

That is charisma.

Boss Snake nodded secretly and asked about the operation of Zuowu Team.

This year, Snake invested 1 million to recruit the league's No. 6000 player, who is gaining momentum. This contract offer is already twice that of Faker, and it is definitely the league's No. [-] salary.

The effect is also immediate.

There is a huge amount of traffic waiting for Snake to digest and monetize.

Investors, advertisers, and sponsors also came after hearing the news.

The team's popularity grew instantly.

Snake's original reputation in China was just like that, belonging to the middle and lower reaches. But since the introduction of Li Jin, Snake has instantly become a top-tier team in the LPL, and has even gained fame around the world.

After all, when the ACE League announced the deal, it was reported in the CBlol division as far away as Brazil.

Everyone has received the message "The koi is playing with the snake".

Mr. Snake is different from Mr. Pei of WE. He is basically the boss, while Zuo Wu is the general manager in charge of everything about Snake.

If it weren't for the huge investment this time, he would probably have the same attitude as before: "I will sell Li Ning if you can't afford it. Don't blame me then."

When it comes to operational matters, Zuo Wu becomes very happy.

Very different from last season's frustration.

Snake, which no one cared about, instantly became the target of cooperation with Mercedes, BMW, Logitech, Durex, etc.

"If we have a stable season this year, we will definitely not lose money. This does not include the value of popularity, brand power, commercial influence and other values. If we can really make a breakthrough or even win the championship in the World Championship, that will be another story. .”

"The hundreds of millions quoted by RNG are not based on random calculations."

"After the Bird's Nest won the championship, Li Jin's influence in the domestic e-sports circle has been difficult to shake. Those who operate the LPL are aware of this, so we don't communicate much. They help us promote it for free. In fact, they promote Li Jin incidentally. .”

Zuo Wu smiled proudly, it was not easy to take advantage of Teng Jing.

After all, that's a pretty stingy penguin.

Mr. Snake was quite surprised.

The current development of the Snake Team is unexpectedly smooth. Listening to Zuo Wu's constant encouragement to recruit Li Jin, he was also worried that he would suffer a big loss, but because Boss Hou from OMG said a few more words to stimulate him, such as Wanting to acquire Snake or something made him decide to take a gamble.

As soon as Li Jin came, the effect was immediate!

"I haven't paid attention to it for a few days. I didn't expect it to change so much."

He laughed and said: "No wonder OMG that guy surnamed Hou suddenly wanted to treat me to dinner, and now he wants a share of the pie?"

"Zuo Wu, come on."

"If this season can really live up to expectations, we should be able to keep our hard work. If we don't reach the final stage, I won't be willing to sell Snake and change the team name."

"I'm usually not at the base, but you must take good care of Li Jin."

"do you know"

"The people Li Ning sent to talk to me this time were no longer as forceful as before. It's funny, they didn't expect us to recruit Li Jin. They probably don't know how to deal with it, but they don't want to give up this billion-level publicity. Resources. From the current point of view, recruiting Li Jin should be the most successful transaction since we established the team."

Mr. Snake patted Zuo Wu on the shoulder and interrupted the other person's compliment.

He motioned in the direction of the training room abruptly:
"Well, you can find some professional health consultants to come to the base to take care of Li Jin's physical condition. Seeing how hard he trains, I'm a little worried."

"According to normal understanding, his age is close to the edge of retirement among professional players."

"Don't be so tired and manage your time scientifically."

Zuowu Chris and others could clearly feel the concern in Mr. Snake's words.

Whether it was Zuo Wu or Shuang Quan, they were extremely surprised.

This homeless boss Snake has never cared so much about a professional player.

……

January 2018, 1, the second day of the second week of the LPL spring regular season.

Snake vs. OMG.

Since OMG lost Marco, 59e has put a lid on the coffin. They really can't imagine what they can do to rise this season.

The top laner Xiyang, the jungler World Sister, the mid laner Leng Shao, the support is still Xiaowu, and the AD is Chelly, the car king who played in the secondary league in GT last season.

59e is quite disappointed.

When Marco left, they once imagined, "Is the home team trying to recruit Koi by giving up Marco to vacate the AD position?"
I don't know if Li Jin is going to transfer, no matter whether it is a fight or a quagmire, some old 59e people do discuss it with such good wishes. Every day during the winter window transfer, they are waiting for the latest information released by the ACE Alliance. .

Until Snake made the announcement first.

It was a day of disappointment and a collapse of faith.

The Che King who replaced Marco is more like a short man who pulls out a general and provides temporary relief.

Li Jin, who was sitting in the Snake player seat and staring at AD across the room, knew better that the majority of 59e players underestimated the King of Cars.

Not only is this person not a temporary worker, he seems to have taken a bullet for the uniform team.

Even if the driver showed too much pressure, OMG did not remove the AD. They even gave up the fifth player after he was too weak for a season, allowing the driver to switch from AD to support.

There is CoreJJ's script, but CoreJJ's life is not there.

In today's Game 1, Li Jin took the lead in selecting Ryze, and Leng Shao used Snake Girl to counter Counter.

But in the game, Benji's tactics were far more decisive than those of World Girls.

The prince was caught in three waves, and Young Master Leng died twice in a row.

Whether it was Li Jin forcing Leng Shao to position, or the stupid chicken just wandering to the middle, it can only be described as a perfect fit.

The control provided by Ryze happened to block the time when the prince came to EQ.

The tacit understanding between the two of them in the middle and jungle has a smooth and silent feeling.

Young Master Leng on the court felt aggrieved the most.

Because he always had the illusion of "almost escaping".

After the explosion in the middle.

Snake's midfielder and jungler teamed up to catch him. Even with Xiao Wu's frequent prompts, the King of Chess couldn't keep up with Snake's efficient moves.

Flandre used Gnar to fight Sunset's vampire, but before he could exert his strength, OMG collapsed in the middle and lower, and the game lost its suspense.

In the 26-minute game, OMG sent out a total of 27 kills.

The skateboard shoes of Che Wang were 0/7/1, which can be regarded as a feeling of suffocation when playing against a strong team.

Only this game made him feel the huge gap between LPL and LDL.

Li Jin scored a double-double of 11/0/13 in the first game and produced 39% of the team's output.

This is Ryze in less than 30 minutes!
In the first two rounds against VG and EDG, Li Jin did not produce such data.

Fans are a little happy.

I heard that koi carp like to catch fish in the regular season. When I saw it today, didn’t it make me excited?
But in Game 2, he started playing Galio again.

OMG realized its shame and then acted bravely. In Game 2, it played extremely cautiously in the lane. Snake changed his thinking and suppressed OMG in three aspects: linkage, operation, and team battle.

About 1 minutes later, it was another game that suffocated OMG.

For 30 minutes and 09 seconds, Snake looked like a training match, but he simply collected the points with 2:0.

The gap between the two sides made 59e feel blind.

The director gave the most shots to Li Jin.

Both the audience and the commentators can find that Li Jin talks more and directs more in a game when he comes to the middle.

Occasionally switch languages.

This is both good and bad for Snake.

Clear command will naturally allow the team to move clearly and avoid being sloppy and delaying the rhythm.But
Li Jin's burden became even heavier.

Can Li Jin continue to sustain such consumption with his energy?

1 month 28 day.

On the weekend of the second week, Snake played against BLG.

Guys like the Ancient Beauty, Golden Horn, Athena, and Road are very good at beating the old man, which is the bladder tactic.

BLG acquired IM to get a spot in the LPL, and the IM team has been working together since S6, and they have a tacit understanding.

After several changes, BLG clarified the team system with Road as the overall commander, making the immediate combat effectiveness more and more stable.

In the last round, they even defeated EDG in an upset.

Snake lost its first small game of the season in the fourth round of the Western Conference and tied with BLG 1:1.

The BP of Game3 has come to an end.

Cheers rang out in the main square. Li Jin opened the hero pool and took out a card that he had not used before.

Drizzt, the card master.

This is the card’s first appearance in the Spring Split.

Judging from the current version 8.1, Ryze, the strong hero in the version selected by Athena, is almost not worthy of recognition.

As long as BLG stabilizes the situation a little, Snake will not be able to pick up the team in the mid-to-late stage, and the head-on winning rate will be very slim.

But Snake resolutely implemented this low fault tolerance lineup.

BLG jungler Wisdomz strictly implemented the coaching staff's tactics and infected the middle lane to delay the card to 6 time.

just
Teacher Benji taught him a lesson: "What is the dead squat in the middle".

At 4 minutes and 09 seconds, the mantis caught the stupid chicken who had been shopping for 15 seconds and succeeded in counter-crouching. Li Jin's yellow card cooperated with the prince's EQ for two consecutive times to directly kill Wisdomz.Athena kindly came to the rescue and ended up buying one and getting one free. The card instantly had two heads and took off directly with 4 layers of murder rings.

After the cards return to the city to buy equipment, the next wave of stupid chickens with good vision directly invade the BLG wild area.

Mantis was caught and killed in its own blue zone, and then the two wild areas were countered and collapsed.

BLG did a good job of defending the second half.

But Snake didn't go in that direction at all.

After the wild area exploded, Flandre, who used Gnar to take advantage on the road, and the stupid chicken were caught together, using Athena as a cash machine.

In just 9 minutes and 34 seconds, one of the BLG towers was destroyed.

2 minutes later, the yellow card flashed to stop Ryze, and he cooperated with the prince to kill Athena in front of the second tower. At this time, he released the Canyon Herald and destroyed the second tower in BLG.

The situation collapsed so quickly that the BLG coaching staff watching the game backstage was stunned.

As they listened to Road's increasingly chaotic commands in the team's voice, they knew that their own command system was also being compromised.

In the previous two games, the opponent's koi didn't seem to play like this.

When it comes to the decisive game, is this guy anxious?
If you don't take the bot lane friends to play, you can directly destroy your own midfielder.

He is still a support hero like Card.

Although Wisdomz helped set up the stage, it was too embarrassing!

The old man didn't have to endure it anymore. At 20 minutes and 38 seconds, when Snake got Baron Nash, he took an economic lead of over [-] yuan and made the game lose suspense.

Wisdomz originally planned to grab the Baron Savior.

But Mantis was discovered by Snake when he was still 2000 yards away from the dragon pit. The card was directly hit in his face. The yellow card + universal card + a basic attack with the Lich killed him instantly with full health!

The violent scenes detonated the Super Mall, and also locked the MVP highlights of this week.

At 23 minutes and 20 seconds, the BLG old crystal exploded without any suspense.

25th floor murder book, 17 heads.

This was Li Jin's most violent game since the start of the season, but it was played with cards.

After some heated discussions, we came to a conclusion: the koi carp is the deciding factor.

In the next two days of competition, the style of LPL changed suddenly.

Cards, cards, cards.

In three consecutive rounds of competition between the East and West, a total of four card masters appeared.

It is obviously a T3 version of the hero, but it suddenly became popular.

Analysts call it: the Godfather effect.

If you are still doubting the strength of the card, why is Godfather used in the decisive game?

No, do you doubt your understanding of the Godfather’s version?

Not strong enough to play?

Then why are they killing indiscriminately?

The LPL audience was shocked. The LPL Texas show started, and even the LCK and LCS next door were gradually used.

This indirectly proves that countless pairs of eyes are watching every move of the koi.

After five consecutive championships and double FMVP, the world's top league professional players, analysts, management, and coaching staff all paid attention to Li Jin.

Multiple world championships have proven that the Godfather did not miss it.

Even Snake's own family was confused after seeing the league's sudden change in style.

"Brother Jin, the card is actually T1?"

Chris and the newly hired analyst Chen Hui both waited for his answer solemnly.

"no."

That day, Chris closed the door and looked at Chen Hui.

The man's relaxed smile and a hint of teasing answers appeared in their minds.

It only takes a few days to transfer to the middle road.

And one small move of his can trigger an uproar in the entire alliance.

This is probably the real top professional.

On the last day of January, Snake played against FPX.

Little Phoenix belatedly recruited Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong this season, but they were a little slow and were intercepted by the Snakes.

But Da Chongming and Sha Shao received their invitation.

Therefore, in this round of confrontation with FPX, the two were extremely active.

It seems to be saying to FPX: "You saw the right person."

The bottom lane combination of Hudie and Light was suppressed by the opponent. In front of the two newcomers, Da Chongming and Shao Shao can be regarded as seniors.

Li Jin was very happy to see them playing well.

S8 has very high requirements for all roads, otherwise it will not be able to defeat those imaginary enemies.

In daily training or official competitions, Li Jin always hopes that Flando and Smart will get more training opportunities.

……

In early February, the city was still experiencing a chilly spring season.

WE's plan to relocate to Xi'an has not yet been implemented, and the current base is still in Shanghai.

The air conditioning is on in the training room. Long Nan 957 and others don't have many clothes on, and they are all training hard.

Xiaoshou and others were quite pleased to feel the atmosphere of the club.

The training habit has been formed, and as long as WE does not waver and maintain it, this will be their valuable asset.

If it hadn't been for Li Jinlai, the team would never be where it is now.

The original sloppiness and disorder are still vivid in my mind.

"Xiye."

"Ok?"

"Snake has won five games in a row. What do you think? If we lose again, Snake will sweep the Western Conference."

After 957 finished speaking, Long Nan shook his head, "What you said is not the point."

Xiao Duan smiled evilly: "That's right, Xiye will face Brother Jin in the next game."

"Xiye, it's time to prove that you are the strongest mid laner in China!"

"I support Xiye!"

"The discussion outside is very lively, Xiye can do it!"

"Xi shocked me!"
