LOL: You don’t want to be broadcast live on the entire network, right.?

Chapter 165 LPL: We most want to meet SKT... right? We really did?

As soon as these words came out, the coquettish figure of the factory director immediately spread all over the world.

It reminds people of the S3 All-Star period, when Kai said "I will prove who is the best jungler in the world" and "I am already studying MSI opponents."

It is true that the program is very effective.

In the following days, this trend intensified. LPL's "taking the lead in starting a group" seemed to be a response to the "arrogance" of Chen Yiqiu, Lee Sang Hyuk and other SKT members who were interviewed after winning the championship.

For example, in the North American NA Summer Split that ended the next day, the championship-winning North American fantasy god TSM, a world-class AD, and the live-action master, tweeted: "Of course we most hope to meet SKT, because they are too arrogant. "

"The World Championship has not yet started, but they seem to have already won the championship trophy. I think the world needs to let SKT recognize the reality. At this point, I admire EDG and RNG of the LPL. They are warriors."

At the end of the summer season on the same day, European champion G2 mid laner Ah P, one of the four trophy-winners, agreed: "It's really annoying and arrogant, @SKT Reaper, man, I don't think you are the one in this World Championship. The top laner in the world is Kikis (G2’s starting top laner).”

Soon after, SKT’s official Twitter responded personally, @阿P and G2’s official Weibo: “Is he the autistic player who was beaten by Reaper at MSI after the game? (smile).”

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, the happy people were ecstatic, and all the bad jokes flew away.

During this period, compared to these giants who have already been 'confirmed' to be on the grand stage, the third seed spot in each major competition is still in fierce competition.

Everyone in SKT doesn't pay much attention to this. They are still training recently and their vacation is scheduled after landing in the United States.

23 number.

The competition for the LCK third seed has entered a fierce stage, with KT facing off against Samsung.

Because the winner of this game will become the third LCK team to participate in the S6 Global Finals this year, and will most likely be their 'opponent' in the future, everyone in SKT specially watched.

As a result, they witnessed scenes of outrageous metaphysical behaviors and shocking and unspeakable operations.

——That's right, the three stars of the Bubble Game God of War are showing off their power!

Before the game, almost no one was optimistic. This year's performance in the LCK division could only be regarded as a mid-to-low three-star, and it had four consecutive games with this year's third place KT.

In the fifth game, Samsung collectively exploded, and Cuvee An showed his power and defeated KT, completing the most amazing reversal in the world before the start of the year-end S game.

In a shocking upset, KT was defeated and eliminated, losing the last ticket to participate in the S competition in this year's LCK.

After the game, old captain Score hugged his head and cried, and all the team members broke down emotionally.

People can't help but think of the butterfly effect of KT's punishment when facing ROX in the playoffs, allowing them to instantly go from being able to advance to the finals to compete for the No. 1 seed for the championship, to competing for the No. 2 seed based on points, to being unable to participate in S race.

The world is sad and full of emotion.

As a result, the three places for this year's LCK division to participate in S6 have been determined.

They are: No. 1 seed SKT, No. 2 seed ROX, and No. 3 seed SSG.

The lineup is so strong that it’s humbling.

On the other hand, with the final third seed competition in the LCK announced, the quotas for other divisions to participate in the S competition have also been completely settled.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing is that the third seed in the next door LPL division was actually won by the IM team that just played the LPL this year.

Some people may not be familiar with the IM team.

This team was once affiliated to EDG's second team EDE. Later, due to Riot's restructuring, it was renamed IM and has been playing in the secondary league LSPL.

They were on the LPL stage for the first time this year, and in one season, they actually completed a jaw-dropping three consecutive jumps.

From LSPL to LPL, and then from LPL to S-Sea.

The inspirational process and extraordinary strength made the whole world unable to help but admire him with admiration. Successfully competed with LCK's Samsung and became the biggest dark horse at the end of the year.

It is worth mentioning that the current boss of this team is the retired mid laner of the royal family who is said to be 50-50 rivalry with Lee Sang Hyuk. He is still on the bench of the IM team. Netizens claim that if IM encounters SKT, they may invite the ancestor to let him. Faker forced a 50-50 opening!

And after successfully advancing to the S game, completing three consecutive jumps, and crying with joy, IM did not forget the advice of the two previous LPL seniors, nor did he forget the 'grievances' between his elder brother EDG and SKT in the past few days.

As a top laner in the same position as Chen Yiqiu, AJ spoke in Mandarin with a Xiangjiang accent after the game: "The one I most want to face in the S game is SKT. Reaper said he is the number one in the world this year, but he has never played against him. , the game hasn’t even started yet, I feel like I can ‘educate’ him.”

The ancient handsome man became famous in one battle and was regarded as the vanguard of LPL top laners by Kangba. He showed no fear in the face of "strong enemies", which fully demonstrated the confidence of the LPL division in the S competition this year.

Combined with the "Diangan" SKT named by the other two teams in this year's LPL, no matter whether they can beat it or not, at least their momentum and mental state have reached the highest point.

——Let Reaper see the strength of our LPL top laner.

Without you, we can still play the S game!

……

9 month 10 day.

The outside world is making noises, but everyone from SKT has already landed in San Francisco, USA on this day.

This is the venue for this year’s S6 Global Finals group stage.

This year’s S competition will be held entirely in the United States.

The venues are: San Francisco (group stage), Chicago (quarterfinals), New York (semi-finals), Los Angeles (finals).

The competition officially started on September 9, and there are still 30 days until the opening of the group stage.

During these 20 days, teams from different regions/national teams from around the world will arrive in San Francisco to kick off the year-end feast.

SKT took a rare two-day holiday.

They really have to take a holiday, because since the end of MSI in the first half of the year, SKT has been almost non-stop. They have also been training during the official offseason.

If you don't relax a bit before the start of the competition and the most important World Championship this year, there will be big problems.

So, the vacation that Pei Junzhi has been looking forward to day and night has finally arrived.

On this day, the entire SKT team was dispatched, and all ROX members, who were flying in for vacation, walked together around the hotel, preparing to have a happy day.

Walking on the road, looking at the exotic buildings and the people of different skin colors around them, everyone was chattering.

The old guys from SKT and ROX were okay. They were like little peanuts. It was their first time to play in the United States. After such a long "trip abroad", everything was really new.

The whole person's spirit is in a state of excitement.

"Brother Jinghao, look over there. Is this the filming location of that American TV series?"

"Brother Xianghe, there seemed to be a blond and blue-eyed young lady looking at me just now. Does she like me?"

"Brother Xianghe, brother Xianghe, do you like this type? It feels so...sexy. Did you see the legs of the one who walked past just now..."

"Wow...this is good, this is good, Brother Xianghe!"

"Brother Yiqiu, your English is so fluent. When did you learn it? I'm so envious..."

The little peanut is like a sparrow, chirping non-stop.

Everyone else was fine, but he dragged Li Sang Hyuk to discuss various things about the young lady, which made Guapi look a little embarrassed.

Because they are not the only ones today. Because of their good personal relationships and the relationship with Bae Junzhi, Zhao Eunjing and Jin Minga, including the commentator Lee Hyun Kyung who was absent from MSI last time, it is rare for them to go out with SKT this time.

In the future, there is no need to fly to the United States with the team, and the work will be seamlessly connected.

and so…

Eunjing is right next to you. You and I are here discussing whether the legs are white, whether they are long, whether they are big or not? !

Lee Sang Hyuk is ready to strangle little peanut to death.

That is to say, he is not in the same team, otherwise he must taste the consequences of offending the team leader!

"Oh... Wanghu, your Brother Xianghe is very annoyed now, please stop talking."

Chen Yiqiu was also annoyed. He just reviewed his spoken English before coming here to learn faster and maintain normal communication. As a result, the little peanut kept chattering all the way.

"Really? Brother Xianghe is annoying me?"

Hearing the sound, Little Peanut was a little scared and a little sad.

He actually admires players like Lee Sang Hyuk and Chen Yi Qiu and regards them as idols.

"No, he doesn't bother you, he wants to kill you."

Li Zaiwan, who was left behind, alone but occupying two tonnages, felt uncomfortable and did not want others to feel comfortable.

"what?"

Little Peanut was completely confused.

Bae Junzhi was at the end, talking to the host Park Ji-sun, which made the other party laugh like silver bells from time to time, and the branches of flowers trembled.

This made Li Zaiwan feel even more uncomfortable when he was left alone and ignored.

"Ah, what, brat, do you also think that I can't find a girlfriend, brother?"

"Brother, no, I didn't. That's not what I meant."

Little Peanut was even more confused.

"Wanghu... say less, you are in a bad mood in Brother Wan."

Xiao Hei, who also had a low status, pulled the corner of Xiao Peanut's clothes and gave a weak reminder.

"puff."

Smeb and the Rat King were already laughing crazy beside them.

Okay, okay, these SKT guys are really interesting.

Here, having got rid of the little peanut, Chen Yiqiu came to Li Sang Hyuk and said with a smile: "How are you thinking about it?"

"Don't do it."

Lee Sang Hyuk ruthlessly refused.

"No, I really think you are suitable for a plane head. Why don't you get one and recreate the...er, domineering side of S3 Shrimp Rice?"

Chen Yiqiu felt quite regretful and regretful.

The day Little Peanut arrived in San Francisco, he wanted to take him out to get his hair styled and design his image.

But with this kind of thing, how could Chen Yiqiu forget his good brothers Li Sang Hyuk and Pei Junzhi?

Therefore, he told everyone about this matter.

South Korea has always paid more attention to appearance management, and Pei Junzhi and others strongly agreed with this matter.

Only Li Sang Hyuk, like an old monk in meditation, immediately shook his head and expressed that he didn't want to do it when he heard about the cost of a complete image design.

Pooh.

If you don’t want to do anything, just say it!

Chen Yiqiu suggested: "If you don't like airplane hair, you can get side bangs or...dye your hair yellow, right? You should make it more individual so that when the audience sees you, you will have a special look that subverts your image." Beauty!”

Li Sang Hyuk looked at Chen Yiqiu: "I want to subvert you."

Chen Yiqiu: "..."

puff.

Everyone nearby was stunned when they heard this sentence.

"I think I can make one."

Smeb suppressed his smile and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, that's right, Xianghe, you are just too reluctant to spend money. If I were you, I would have been arrogant and extravagant a long time ago... Uh, Yiqiu, is that okay?"

The Rat King humbly asked Chen Yiqiu about idioms.

"Totally applicable."

Chen Yiqiu gave a thumbs up.

"That's right, Brother Xianghe, don't you think you should show your best side on a grand stage like the World Championship?" The silenced little peanut couldn't help it.

"Shut up."

Everyone spoke out in unison, scaring the child so much that he quickly continued to silence himself. "...But by the way, I also need to do some nutrition, and I can make a maintenance package by the way."

At this time, Zhao Enjing, who was just laughing next to her, spoke softly and smoothed her hair in front of her forehead: "The host has to maintain his image. This can be considered as a contribution to the work."

"Yes, yes, I heard that there are more styles here, and I want to try them too."

Jin Min nodded.

Park Ji-sun from behind also agreed.

"Uh…"

Lee Sang Hyuk was stunned.

"I'm treating you, I'm treating you!"

Pei Junzhi smiled like a silly son of a landlord, and said in a proud tone: "I invite some beautiful young ladies to do my hair with Ji Xuan!"

What you mean by doing hair is not what I understand, is it?

Chen Yiqiu's eyelids twitched.

But suddenly he felt a murderous intention coming from his side, and he was startled.

Lee Sang Hyuk's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he stammered: "Uh... if Eunjing is hosting... Actually, I just happened to bring some money..."

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Enjing glanced at Li Sang Hyuk narrowly, hummed, walked in front with her hands behind her back, and stopped talking.

"Uu~~~!"

"Yo ho!!"

"Yo Xi! Yo Xi!"

"That's called a show! It's not Youxi!"

"Ambiguous~"

A cry sounded out, causing Zhao Enjing, who was pretending to be nonchalant in front of him, to stagger.

Lee Sang Hyuk's face was already flushed, and his palms were trembling slightly for some unknown reason.

When performing operations like the Battle of Two Tribulations, his hands were as steady as an old dog's, but now they were actually trembling.

Ryu cried to death when he saw her.

"Xianghe~ Can you please let me do your hair too~"

Chen Yiqiu pinched his throat, and a eunuch-like voice floated into Li Sanghe's ears.

"I hate it, Yiqiu~ Don't say this Jiang Zi, Xiang He is also a shy boy."

Pei Junzhi acted enchantingly and flirted.

Li Zaiwan almost went crazy.

Big brother Bengi's mouth showed an aunt's smile, and he looked at Lee Sang Hyuk with eyes full of relief and encouragement.

As for the ROX people and Xiao Hei, the former is not a teammate after all and does not dare to be too "romantic" in front of the big devil, while the latter is simply holding back.

He really didn't dare to offend his brothers!

And in this slightly ambiguous atmosphere, Park Ji-suan saw that Chen Yiqiu only remembered teasing Lee Sang-hyeok, but he didn't show any expression at all. He coughed twice and said: "Contestant Yiqiu, Sang-hyeok wants to invite Eun-jeong, you ...Won’t you please...?”

"Ah? Who can I invite?"

Chen Yiqiu was stunned.

But everyone had already reacted and immediately let out another sigh.

"What do you say?"

Park Ji-suan glanced at Chen Yiqiu, and then at Jin Min-wo, who was elegant, tall and wearing exquisite makeup.

The latter was also stunned and tilted his head.

Park Ji-sun said it was all trivial, please call me the red scarf, and then trotted to catch up with Zhao Eun-jung in front of him and whispered, I don’t know what he said, and soon there was laughter and frolicking, and from time to time he turned back and secretly pointed at Chen Yiqiu and Jin Min, Let out a meaningful laugh that only best friends can understand.

"Brother, please be more careful."

Pei Junzhi looked like someone who had come before, his words were full of vicissitudes, and he patted Chen Yiqiu on the shoulder.

"Brother, please be more careful."

Li Sang Hyuk had calmed down at some point, straightened his back, and was in an unprecedented good state of mind. He patted Chen Yiqiu's shoulder hard and strode out with his head held high.

Take big strides and be full of confidence!

Chen Yiqiu: "???"

Weren’t you all making fun of Lee Sang Hyuk just now? Why am I here?

Chen Yiqiu's face became angry when he saw the ROX people who had just walked up and prepared to 'relay'.

"Brother...brother, can I speak?"

Little Peanut was so frightened that he changed his tune temporarily.

"No."

"Oh."

"Yiqiu, please be more careful."

"Hahaha."

Song Jinghao and the Rat King no longer had such worries. They punched Chen Yiqiu and ran away immediately.

"Hahaha…"

Laughter came from the front. Chen Yiqiu was stunned for a moment and looked at Jin Minwo beside him, who was also not leaving.

Jin Minwo winked playfully at Chen Yiqiu and followed the others with a smile.

"...Am I the clown?"

Chen Yiqiu asked the sky speechlessly.

Could it be that the best tradition in the SKT team will eventually be transferred from Lee Sang Hyuk to him?

At present, it is very possible!

No... I don’t want to be laughed at by Samsung and the head of An, Xianghe, you should return to your true colors, such an old pervert, this is not the big devil I know!

In the end, Chen Yiqiu, who was extremely shocked, generously accepted Xiaohuahua's strong invitation and did an image design, and his hair color became silver gray.

Lee Sang Hyuk 'obeyed' Jo Eun Jung's advice and simply dyed his hair a flaxen color and simply styled his hair.

Not to mention, after such a long time, the smell of S6 Demon King hit his face, making Chen Yiqiu very suspicious whether Zhao Enjing had this idea a long time ago...

Several other people also gained something.

Of course, Chen Yiqiu himself was not satisfied with this day.

Because the money was not enough, I ended up paying the bill for Jin Min. The full set of high-end image design here in the United States is quite expensive, equivalent to more than 3,000 RMB.

It's not that Chen Yiqiu was sad because he was eating soft food, but because of this, he seemed to have inherited Lee Sang Hyuk's "stingy" label.

"I really don't want to protect the 'tradition' within the SKT team. I don't want to be 'Chunan'."

Feeling the hidden meaning, Chen Yiqiu couldn't sleep that night.

……

The time flies by, and time flies by.

In the time that followed, as the opening day of the finals approached, teams from all major competition regions around the world landed in San Francisco one by one.

The arrival of countless world-class star players and wealthy families has also made Twitter, Weibo, Tieba and other major media forums lively again.

A lot of interesting things happened.

Come to the 20th.

This morning, Riot Games held a draw ceremony for the group stage of this year's S on live broadcast platforms around the world. At the same time, MSI regions that did not enter the top four, such as Europe and wild cards, also ended the competition for group stage places (actually S6 Play-in round, but there is no formal play-in round in S6, and this link really started in S7).

In this way, the group list for the 2016 Global Finals group stage is released.

They are:

Group A: LCK No. 2 seed SKT, European No. seed G, LPL third seed IM, and Russian wild card team ANX.

Group B: LMS No. 9 seed FW, LCK No. seed ROX, North America's No. seed C, and Europe's No. seed SPY.

Group C: LPL first seed EDG, LMS second seed AHQ, European second seed H2K, and Brazilian wild card team INTZ.

Group D: North America's No. 1 seed TSM, LPL's second seed RNG, North America's second seed CLG, and LCK's third seed SSG.

Among them, because the European division failed to advance to the semi-finals at this year's MSI, although G2 is this year's European champion, it can only enter the second seed pool, in the same group as SKT.

The roster is released, and the competition format is the same as last year. The group stage is a double round-robin BO1 for the four teams in the group, and then the top two teams advance to the quarterfinals.

It was shocking, the popularity soared, and the discussion began to enter a violent stage from this day on.

Before the game, he had been insisting that he wanted to meet the major teams of SKT, the competition area, the audience, the commentators... At this moment, when they saw the roster, some people breathed a sigh of relief, and some felt like they were mourning.

such as…

LPL division.

"IM and SKT are in the same group?!"

"No, I was joking before, Brother Chen!"

AJ looked at the three letters SKT in Group A and felt dizzy and trembling all over.

EDG and RNG breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately for EDG, the competition system stipulates that as the number one seed, they will not meet SKT at least in the group stage.

But RNG is really relieved. They are the second seed and have a chance of meeting SKT in the group stage. But now that the list is out, they are in Group D. Although there are also LCK teams with three stars,... they are much better than SKT. La.

"IM is such a good brother. Without them, we would have met SKT just now."

Su Xiaofei had a fascinated smile on his face.

Because the drawing order of this S tournament is relatively abstract, the second and third seed pools were drawn together. SKT had just drawn IM before, and the next one was RNG. As a result, because IM was there, RNG jumped directly to Group D.

IM, you are such a good person!

On the other side, EDG looked at this lottery grouping and burst into laughter!

"Hahaha, this is such a stinky thing. The second seed is crooked, the second seed is European, and there is a Brazilian wild card, a team whose name I have never heard of. Isn't this unstable for the top eight? ?”

Meiko laughed so hard she almost got pregnant: "If I still lose, I'll write the character "天" upside down!"

The factory director, Abu and others are also very satisfied.

"This group... is simply a magic draw. You can prepare to study your opponents in the quarterfinals!"

Everyone laughed together, completely losing the nervousness and fear of the first S competition.

——Well, no need to be jet-lagged this time!

Therefore, until the start of the S game, EDG and LPL spent the New Year's Eve in a cheerful atmosphere.

9 month 30 number.

The 2016 Global Finals has officially begun.

On this day, heroes from all over the world gathered in San Francisco, and SKT came to the venue dressed in red.
