LPL’s legendary female devil

Chapter 61 The intercontinental competition begins! On, why is it a good sign! (-in-)

7 Month 4 Day!

The plane carrying the LPL team roared to the ground and arrived at Xiongshi International Airport!

Fans who had already received the news rushed to the airport to pick him up in advance.

At the airport pick-up gate, an LPL player carried a suitcase and passed through the crowd of people picking up the plane under the escort of on-site bodyguards.

Among them are the IG players.

Due to team size requirements, IG only brought seven players this time: Duke, The shy, Ning, Rookie, Anyi, Megan, and emergency substitute West.

As soon as he got off the plane, An Yi smelled the sea breeze with a faint salty smell.

This was also her first time to come to the southern tip of the motherland, and she was a little excited for a while.

As a man from Northeast China, Ning felt deeply about the crossing from north to south: "I'm going! It's so hot, I should have worn less clothes."

Good brother Bao Lan responded directly: "So who is like you, flying south and still covering yourself up so tightly? Let's learn from An Yi."

As soon as these words came out, the teammates' eyes shifted to An Yi.

It was seen that the girl today was only wearing a white one-shoulder dress, revealing her delicate collarbones and white neck. Her bare feet were wearing white sandals, which were very cool.

Aware of his teammates' gaze, An Yi turned his head.

Seeing this, the group of people who were peeking quickly looked away.

Xihuang also changed the topic: "What? Do you think we will go out soon, how many fans will welcome us?"

As a world champion, Duke is optimistic: "It should be quite a few."

Rookie patted his big belly: "Be confident, there will be a lot!"

And after playing the game for so long, isn’t it just to make a name for yourself?

After all, they are also the undefeated king of the LPL now. They must have some cards when going out.

As a result, everyone on IG walked out proudly, ready to welcome the cheers of fans.

who knows.

"Come on RNG! Come on UZI! Show your style in our LPL division! Our LPL depends on you!"

"Mystic! Uncle! Look here!"

"Li Rucan! Go, go, go! We will always be with you!"

The fans outside were so crazy that they almost broke through the wall of security guards.

Everyone on IG was originally full of confidence, but at this moment everyone’s smiles froze.

It’s hard to imagine that IG would have a period when it lost in terms of traffic. Obviously, IG at this time was just a small and transparent one, and no one was taking advantage of it.

It can only be said that the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. At this time, everyone on IG just thinks that they are noisy.

Ning was the most confused: "Huh? The pigeons have never lost in the summer race and are ranked first in the regular season. Why don't you give me any face?"

Baolan said straight to his heart: "Still in the regular season! Still in the regular season! Who will cheat on you when you are out of the competition area!"

The shy also laughed: "We... what kind of champions!"

As for everyone at IG, walking at the end of the LPL team, they just felt: We shouldn’t be in the plane, but at the bottom of the plane!

Fortunately, a few people still got consolation prizes.

Just as I was walking by, I suddenly heard a few voices coming from outside: "Little IG, come on!"

Looking around, everyone on IG saw a handful of fans holding IG flags and shouting.

Seeing this, everyone regained their confidence: What, we still have fans!

So after greeting the fans cordially, everyone got on the team bus to the hotel with satisfaction.

Because they are in the same division, the four LPL teams are naturally arranged to be in the same hotel.

After introduction, we learned that not only is this a sea-view room, it is also equipped with complete training facilities and fitness and entertainment facilities, which surprised the team members.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, Mafa received news that the four LPL teams were going to gather together for a meeting.

Yes! Together!

After all, the essence of the intercontinental competition is that four teams from the same division compete against other divisions.

After entering the knockout stage, the BO5 is based on the division as a whole, with four teams competing for points with teams from other divisions at least once a game.

At that time, there may be some kind of "Tian Ji horse racing" situation.

For example, you can choose to use the No. 4 seed to play someone else's No. 1 seed, then the No. 1 seed to play someone else's No. 2 seed, the No. 2 seed to play someone else's No. 3 seed, and the No. 3 seed to play someone else's No. 4 seed.

This achieves the goal of sacrificing a fourth seed to replace the opponent's top combat power, that is, inferior horses versus superior horses, and then complete the overall strength of the remaining teams to crush, with the weak defeating the strong.

The original LPL fourth seed OMG in history was fed to the LCK's Galaxy Battleship KT, which consumed a strong LCK team in vain, thus creating a decisive opportunity for the LPL.

It can be said that this competition system is full of fun, so the four teams naturally need to carefully plan the order of appearance and team tasks.

However, this kind of pre-match tactical matters can be left to the coach. The players do not need to take care of it before going on the field.

But just as the IG players were sitting in rows in their training room, preparing to play some Ranks, Mafa brought back the tactics of the LPL coaching staff.

After hearing this 'tactic', Ning, who was straight forward, thought that he had heard wrongly or was too shocked.

He shouted at the top of his voice: "What? After entering the knockout rounds, we need to find an opportunity for our fourth seed IG to fight against the LCK's first or second seed (SKT or KT Galaxy) and the LMS's first seed (FW Flash Wolves). ), other teams go and beat other people’s second, third, and fourth seeds!”

Good news: The coach has rich experience in Tian Ji horse racing!

Bad news: The inferior horse is actually me!

Xihuang was anxious: "It's so insulting. No matter what we do at IG, we will never be inferior. Why should we be sacrificed for other teams?"

When Mafa heard this, he was also angry: "I have never thought that you are inferior horses, and you should not belittle yourselves. As a coach, I proactively provided this strategy to our coaching staff on your behalf. Before you comment, please listen to me. That’s it.”

Then, as the old father of IG, he began to explain patiently: "First of all, do you think you are the weakest among all LPL teams, the so-called inferior horses?"

Captain Rookie took over: "Definitely not. Among the four teams, EDG and WE all lost to us, at least that's the record."

Mafa nodded: "That's okay."

Everyone was confused after hearing this and didn't understand what it meant.

At this time, An Yi, who had been silent, spoke up: "What the coach means is that we are not inferior horses, but hidden dark horses!"

The reckless man Ning scratched his head: "I don't understand why I changed from a low horse to a dark horse?"

An Yi looked at his confused look and rolled his eyes: "Brother Ning, have we lost?"

Ning shook his head: "No, how can we lose before the game has even started?"

The thoughtful Baolan has already figured it out: "So if you lose, you are the inferior horse, but if you win, you are the dark horse."

Suddenly, Ning turned his head and clapped his hands: "Oh! So that's what happened!"

Everyone will think that the fourth seed is the weakest in the region, but IG is the exception.

Because the seeding ranking is determined based on the Spring Split, but IG introduced The shy, Anyi, and Ning in the Summer Split to complete the transformation. IG in the Summer Split and Spring Split have already become completely different, and they are absolute powerhouses!

At this time, IG was wearing the "sheepskin" of the "fourth seed" to face the leading teams in other divisions.

If you can win with your strength, you will gain blood. If you can't win, it will not be a loss if you consume the opponent's top combat power.

Regardless of whether you win or lose, this will be of great help to the LPL as a whole. It is commonly known as a two-way profit game.

As for the dark horse or the low horse, which one IG wants to be depends on its own strength.

But there is no doubt that to make such a decision, IG needs to withstand huge pressure from public opinion, because if it really loses, it will be a veritable inferior horse.

But this is the time when LPL must unite, so Mafa can only choose to stand up and ask: "So have you decided which horse to be?"

Ning slapped the table: "That's definitely a dark horse! Am I weaker than my opponent? I want to be the back horse!"

An Yi was also a rare arrogant person: "That's right, our little IG doesn't kill the unknown people, but the elites!"

The shy laughed and said: "Ouch! That's so crazy!"

Ning grabbed Baolan's collar: "Am I crazy?"

Baolan was speechless: "It's not me who said it, you dragged An Yi!"

Seeing the interaction between the two, the teammates all laughed.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Mafa also said: "Okay, hurry up and prepare. We will have to play training matches with other teams later."

Duke smiled and asked, "Will you play against SKT?"

An Yi knew what this person was thinking. The words 'Faker, I won the championship again' must have been in his heart for a long time, so he smiled and said: "We will definitely meet him."

There is no way that the LPL can't even beat the round robin, finish third, and then be eliminated by the LMS in the knockout round.

Thinking of this, An Yi was suddenly stunned.

wrong! It seems that the LPL was actually ranked third in the round robin in history!

Although he could advance to the knockout rounds no matter how the round-robin match ended, he was worried about something going wrong. To be on the safe side, An Yi asked: "Coach, can I see the next schedule?"

Mafa nodded: "No problem, I've sent the schedule to the group."

The girl hurriedly opened it to check, and then saw a scene of a hell scroll.

Schedule for July 7th:

JT vs. EDG

KT vs. RNG

M17 vs. MVP

WE vs. FW

JT vs. SSG

MVP vs IG

Schedule for July 7th:

KT vs. AHQ

M17 vs IG

AHQ vs. RNG

FW vs. SKT

SSG vs. EDG

SKT vs. WE

It seems that due to the butterfly effect, there have been some changes in the order of this intercontinental competition and Aki's known intercontinental competition.

But although the order has changed, their opponents have not changed because of the locked ranking.

And An Yi is also very clear about the outcome in history. On the first day of this intercontinental competition, leaving aside the unknown IG, the LPL team will be completely wiped out!

Yes, if there is no slip of the tongue, the entire army will be annihilated!

In the original history, the LPL also encountered a similar Waterloo, so that it went from being proud of the second division to being stepped on by BayWan.

There were even various remarks at that time that 'anyone who criticizes the LPL is politically correct'. It can be said that the confidence of the entire competition was shattered on the first day.

Seemingly seeing something wrong with An Yi's expression, coach Mafa took the initiative to ask: "What's wrong, An Yi?"

The girl said bluntly: "I feel a little bad."

As soon as this sentence came out, his teammates were also very confused.

Team leader Aning rarely came over to intervene: "What's wrong? Isn't this a lottery? We played two LMS teams on the first day of the LPL, so no matter how you look at it, it starts with a minimum of two wins and two losses. .”

In this regard, An Yi didn't know what to say and could only nod: "Well, I hope so."

I understand that I am just an ordinary player and all I can do is play well. I just hope that other teams can cheer up.

But Mafa could see that the worry in An Yi's eyes was not fake.

At this moment, fans who have learned about the schedule have begun to party online.

As a maggot baby with more symptoms than awards and more cases than academic qualifications, he published such a post on the Anti-Stress Blame Bar.

"On why intercontinental competition is a good draw"

In an instant, some normal people and most of the crazy people rushed in.

The poster directly came to the conclusion: "On the first day, the LPL will encounter two weak persimmons from the LMS. Kill them at will. I think the LCK is just a bid to sell Seoul! It is recommended to award the champion directly!"

"Damn it! This is the first day to beat EDG as JT. Let's get one point first! WE and FW have won each other in MSI, but overall I think WE is stronger. Let's give him 0.5 points. Let's give it to RNG. I count KT as 0.5 points, IG will definitely win the MVP, no matter how you look at it, Tianhu will start with at least 3 wins and 1 loss."

"Can it still be 0.5 points? I'm betting!" "Who's hanging on?"

"Needless to say, IG is determined. They are a rookie team that has struggled in the regular season and has no experience in major competitions. The LCK is not a vegetarian."

"It doesn't matter, IG will just try its best. After entering the knockout round, I hope IG can play something like FW, SKT, and KT. The rest will be left to EDG and RNG, and WE will guarantee the bottom."

"??? What do you mean by posting something and looking down on my little IG like that?"

"Let me tell you, IG has won seven consecutive games in the Summer Split and is the purest fourth seed! Hidden number one seed!"

"You're playing Gou 8, and you're hiding the No. seed. When you say this, I feel embarrassed for you son of a bitch. (Smiley face)"

"Not strong? Then why did other teams lose to IG? Do they not want to win?"

"Then how did IG get the fourth seed? Didn't I lose in the spring split myself? Didn't IG go there to give points to the LCK?"

"Ant claws are ant claws, and crab babies are crab babies. If you always use ant claws as crab babies, why don't you compare it with NM when she gave birth to CS like you? I checked your ingredients. The day before yesterday, you were an ooze monster. Yesterday I was a little knight, today I am a KR person, remember to change your account to a smaller one next time."

"Is this urgent? Dian! The first place in the regular season has 78 points. If you are the first place in the league and go to MSI, you will be beaten by your KR father."

"Oh! Today I was really accused of being a KR person. The ingredients were found out, nmsl (then it's okay)!"

"The strongest seed in the LPL? It doesn't matter, I, SKT, will take action! How dare you, little IG, come to touch you? The fourth seed can't touch it, nmsl (then it's okay)!"

"So, wouldn't it be nice to give the fourth seed IG to SKT and Flash Wolves in the knockout rounds? Let's just go to Tian Ji and see if IG is an inferior horse."

That is to say, An Yi didn't see this post, otherwise she would definitely laugh it off.

IG may not be able to win the civil war, but as long as it can win, the name of the Phantom God in foreign wars will not be blown.

As for SKT1557, let’s not talk about it. The main reason is that Faker of SKT has been a little alone this year, and the other teammates and even their professional attitudes have problems.

Of course, all this has not yet fully fermented, so the final outcome is still unknown.

And An Yi only knows one thing, that is, the following games must not be taken lightly.

No matter who your opponent is, just give it your best!

So after a day and a half of devilish training, the LPL division will meet their first day's challenge.

February 7.

Xiongshi Exhibition Hall!

As the first intercontinental tournament, Riot Games can be said to have spent a lot of money on promotion.

On the first day of the opening, the venue was overcrowded. Obviously fans of each team had been looking forward to this for a long time and came to support their home team.

Along with the officially produced animated short film, the teams in each competition area are introduced one by one.

At the same time, the hosts Ren Dong and Anna also took to the stage. After the warm opening ceremony, a total of 12 teams from the three major regions of LMS, LPL, and LCK were invited to the stage one by one.

It's just that among the teenagers, the flowing little skirt and high-heeled shirt are too eye-catching.

In an instant, it became popular on the Wanwan Underworld Forum: In three minutes, I want all the information about this female player!

This also reveals that although IG has a good record in the LPL, it has not yet become famous in the international arena, so fans in other regions do not know much about it.

But seeing such a cute female player, they decided to get to know her.

After completing the cutscene, the teams from each division exited and returned to their respective lounges, waiting for the game to begin.

Because all teams compete as a group in the division, the four teams in the LPL naturally gathered in the common room.

Here, An Yi also met many old faces.

In the lounge

As soon as An Yi sat down, the director of EDG came over to greet his beautiful girl fan "An Yi".

He shook his hair self-righteously, and then showed a kind smile: "Hey, sister Benzi, we meet again."

Seeing the old senior coming, An Yi also greeted politely: "Hello, factory director, just call me An Yi."

When he saw an outsider coming to flirt with his little An Yi, Rookie immediately stopped him.

Ming Kai asked in confusion: "Huh? What do you mean, Old Song? Guard yourself against everyone!"

Former IG assistant Ben also jumped out at this time: "Who is with you?"

Mingkai immediately pointed at him: "Hey! It's too much for you, a WE person, to stand on IG's side and say this!"

Ben said confidently: "I am an old IG person, and Brother Shy is also an old WE person. We are called WG family members!"

In a sense, WE giving The shy to IG can indeed be regarded as a family.

Upon seeing this, Mingkai immediately complained: "We are facing a powerful enemy, and someone is forming a small group! Where is the coach, come out and take care of it!"

All I can say is that he is indeed Ming Kai, and he has a way of talking nonsense.

Upon hearing this, Abramovich, who came with the team to serve as an assistant coach in the competition area, immediately gave him a warning look, "Be honest and don't keep flirting with other female players." Mingkai immediately withered after looking at him.

But what he was thinking in his mind was: When I get rid of you, I will be the head coach of EDG. Let’s see what you Ji Xing has to say!

It can only be said that EDG is an anti-bone boy per capita!

But An Yi felt that this was an opportunity. In order to prevent the competition from repeating the same mistakes, she planned to tell these 'teammates' to be careful.

So she started the topic and said: "Senior Mingkai, you will represent our LPL in the opening game against JT in a while. Are you confident?"

This call of 'Senior Mingkai' went straight to the heart of the factory director.

Who wouldn't like such a cute young girl? So he immediately patted his chest: "You're kidding! I'm super brave, okay?"

An Yi originally wanted the factory director to be careful, but after hearing what he meant, she underestimated her enemy even more, so she hurriedly said: "Well, that's not what I meant."

Mingkai raised his hand to stop: "I understand what you mean! Don't worry! I'm already studying my opponents in the knockout round in advance!"

An Yi:? ? ?

asshole! Don't say this nonsense!

However, before An Yi could say anything more, the factory director was called away because they were about to play the opening game.

Before leaving, the factory director gave a thumbs up and said to the members of the other three teams: "Watch it! Today I will let LMS and LCK know what the King's Corpse and the Death of Thunder are!"

At this moment, the factory director didn't realize that his head was already full of Flags!

Then the EDG players stepped onto the stage with confidence, and the fans cheered passionately.

"EDG! Come on! EDG! Come on!"

46 minutes later, the EDG base exploded.

The commentator was a little helpless: "EDG underestimated the enemy a little. They were 5000 ahead and failed to complete the wave. Instead, they were caught by Luo on the opposite side. They started the team perfectly and left a counter wave. FoFo's explosive pack is really accurate. .”

Miller: "EDG played a good game and was overturned. You must have a stable mentality. I hope our LPL team can make adjustments quickly."

First battle! JT defeated EDG!

At this moment, all LPL fans are confused.

You must know that this is the least difficult game among the four games. It is recognized that the disparity in strength is huge, but EDG has been overturned?

In an instant, fans shouted: EDG has never disappointed in this aspect!

Everyone did not mourn for EDG for a moment. The next one to rush to the battlefield was the God of War RNG!

RNG: Today, let the world cheer for me again! Drink.Drink.Cheer for me!

But who are their opponents? It's KT!

That brought together all the powerful players in the LCK and created the first Galaxy Battleship!

How many galaxies are there?

Let’s briefly introduce: top order Smeb! Jungle Score! Mid laner Pawn! Deft! Assist Mata!

It can be said that any one of the players is the cornerstone of a team.

Let’s talk about Smeb first, the former top laner of ROX and the future number one top laner in the world. He was only defeated by The shy.

Let’s talk about General Pawn, who was once the leader of EDG’s team. He was a ruthless man who could crush WE even after he was brought up with a waist injury.

Not to mention Deft and Mata, a future champion AD and a legendary player in the support position.

On the other hand, RNG, although they went out with UZI, UZI suffered a hand injury at this time, so they could only send out Y4 as a substitute in the bottom lane.

Needless to say, the final result goes without saying.

MLXG and Xiaohu barely managed to carry the big cauldron, but in the end the gap in overall hard power still made them feel more than they could achieve.

At the end of 35 minutes, KT passed the level both up and down. General Pawn was old and brave, and his sword was still young, giving Xiaohu a complete childhood.

Miller: "Although we are very reluctant, RNG, which we had high hopes for, also fell here. We must admit and face up to the strength of the enemy."

World War II! KT defeated RNG!

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire LPL team became a little strange. The originally optimistic players also fell silent, and they did not dare to look at their mobile phones anymore, because the public opinion knew what it was like.

And they can only pin their hopes on WE!

As the leader of the LPL, WE is bound to face the recognized top team this time - FW Flash Wolves!

The two teams are very close in strength and are almost the two most evenly matched opponents.

It's a pity that Karsa, the last wolf king of the Wolves, showed his strength. At this time, he was not the old decrepit. He suppressed Condi with perfect rhythm.

Karsa: I will attack in radar form!

The auxiliary Snake and Karsa cooperated tacitly. The perfect Ye auxiliary linkage found an opportunity in the mid-term to end the 2-0 Xiye and directly win the Baron.

From 'Xi shocked me' to 'Xila laughed at me' in just a moment.

Xiye's incarnation as 'Mao Maotou' lost his voice, and 957 Leg Brother sacrificed himself for his teammates and took caution. He just beat the opponent Qinggangying by 20 knives and still lost, which made him a little confused.

LPL lost three games in three games! Hell begins!

Although An Yi already knew the history, he still felt sad.

The Internet became even more noisy because of this.

"One chance of losing is in your own hands, two chances are in the hands of others, and three chances of swimming trunks are in the shopping cart."

"That's it? The second division? Isn't it embarrassing enough? Swim back quickly while the Bay Province is close!"

"No, it's okay if RNG and WE can lose. Why should you, EDG, lose?"

"Why can't you lose? The eldest brother still laughs at the second brother? Your royal family is very noble?"

""United as one", "United as one to the outside world".

"I can only say that the LCK and Flash Wolves are too fierce. Who can withstand this!"

"IG: I don't know if I can handle it."

"Damn it! There is also an IG! I just found out! Now IG is really the last piece of underwear!"

"You used to call people low-class, but now you call them bottoms? This generation of netizens have changed their minds so quickly. Sichuan Province needs you to pass on the culture!"

"How about IG lose together and go home? We've all done it, and no one can blame anyone."

At this time, the outside world is unanimously negative about the LPL, and it is completely unimagined that a round-robin competition is like this and there is no need to enter the knockout round.

Looking at the rest room, the coaches of each team were also paralyzed while reviewing the game. They didn't expect it to start like this, and then they couldn't help but look at IG.

Their village's last hope!

At this time, IG is really prosperous. As the fourth seed in the LPL, there are five coaches arranging draft picks for them.

And when has IG, who has always been the BP of the team members, ever enjoyed this kind of treatment?

Is that what BP focuses on?

The shy faced EDG's coach Nofe with a confused look on his face: "Go on the road. Why did you choose the big tree?"

Ning faced the Redmi coach helplessly: "Wild Core? Do you think I look like Wild Core?"

Suddenly, many coaches couldn't help but wonder how IG drafted, and why IG couldn't understand their bottom-of-the-box tactics.

But when they heard Mafa say top laner Lucian, mid laner Lucian, bottom laner Lucian, and jungler Lucian, they all understood.

Maybe only IG understands IG best. In that case, let them give it a try!

After the players are ready, the final card battle of LPL is about to take place!
