LOL: I didn't retire, just no one wanted

Chapter 144 Star-making Project!

Tengjing headquarters.

There are many people in the conference room with simple decoration.

Jin Yibo, head of LPL, Gu Ying, head of live broadcast and content, and other executives.

Jin Yibo took the lead and said: "The report from the headquarters has arrived, and the various data of MSI this time... are really horrible."

"When the location of MSI was chosen in Brazil, I strongly opposed it. Regardless of the environment, the jet lag problem cannot be solved at all. The current result can only be said to be expected."

This year's MSI cannot be compared with the previous ones, no matter in terms of attention or the number of global online viewers.

There is no way, the location is chosen in Brazil, which clearly shows that the vast majority of viewers who have given up on LPL and LCK.

After all, the time difference between the two regions is as high as 11 hours. When Brazil was playing, it was two or three o'clock in the morning between China and South Korea...

How many viewers can insist on staying up late every day to watch the game?
I don't know which treasure thought of hosting MSI in Brazil, but the Riot headquarters really picked it up.

"So, the headquarters decided to put the location of this S game in Kyoto!"

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the conference room lit up.

The S game is scheduled to be held in China, which has too many benefits for the LPL competition area.

First of all, the LPL participating teams have the home field advantage, so they don't have to worry about going to other countries, which will lead to unacceptable conditions.

Second, is the increase in attention.

In fact, since last year's S game LPL lost to the quarter-finals again, the top management of LPL clearly felt that the popularity of LOL is gradually declining.

At the beginning of the season, various data were declining year-on-year.

why?
The reason is that the audience has gradually lost confidence in the LPL championship.

Anyway, the final is the Korean Civil War, so what else to watch?

Fortunately, the DAN team was born out of nowhere. With its violent style of play and super personal ability, it successfully attracted a large wave of traffic and helped LPL temporarily stabilize the downward trend.

Why are Hollywood popcorn blockbusters so enduring?
Because of personal heroism, there will never be a shortage of markets.

To put it another way, why are Zhao Yun and Lu Bu so popular in Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

"Can you leave your name in the future?"

"Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

In just two sentences, how many men's hearts are surging.

Get it!

Another point is that all major competition areas around the world are now learning LCK-style operating tactics, which has greatly reduced the viewing pleasure of the game.

The tedious operation and development continue to wear down the patience of the audience.

Regarding this point, the Riot headquarters has also realized it, and it is said that internal discussions have already begun, and they are preparing for a major revision of the version next season.

"Let's put the matter of the S game aside for now, the headquarters has not yet officially finalized."

Jin Yibo paused, and continued: "Now, the top priority is to select the people for the star-making project."

At the beginning of the season, they tentatively decided on a few candidates.

Xiaohu, Xiye and Meiko.

Qin Ge's appearance was just an accident.

No one thought that this rookie team led by a LSPL veteran would shine so brightly.

Gu Ying took it for granted, "I don't think there's anything to discuss. The Singer player has strength, and his temperament and image are good in all aspects."

"I think so."

"really!"

"Agree!"

All of a sudden, other people in the conference room agreed with Gu Ying's proposal.

Chunguan, MSI smashed SKT, pleasing style of play, good image...they are simply the best candidates for the star-making project.

"OK, then it's settled!"

Seeing this, Jin Yibo nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, he himself was very optimistic about Qin Ge. When Dan won the spring championship, he had already decided on the candidate in his heart.

"Coordinate and cooperate with all departments to prepare two sets of publicity plans. If MSI wins the championship, everyone will be happy. If it does not win the championship, there is PlanB to deal with it."

……

……

Brazil time.

October 5, two o'clock in the afternoon.

The match on the third day of the MSI group stage officially started.

In the first game, G2 vs. TSM.

In the eyes of LPL and LCK audiences, this pecking game is very important in the eyes of European and American audiences.

Although LPL viewers always refer to Europe and the United States as Lobi, they don't think they are one, but compete everywhere.

Whether it is NA>EU or EU>NA has always been a point of debate among European and American audiences.

At present, the record of this pair of brothers and sisters is very poor, G21-3, and TSM is 0-4, without a single victory.

The two sides are full of gunpowder, which can be seen from the lineup.

G2 took out the mid-field combination of the blind monk Syndra, coupled with Lucian Bron, the early strength was directly full.

TSM didn't hesitate at all, and backhanded Spider Gadges.

At the beginning, TSM's jungler Svenskeren came to grab the second level with one hand, and cooperated with Rambo to kill the barrel.

Subsequently, the spider rhythm took off completely.

Bjergsen, known as the King of North America, broke out completely, and the output of Jess exploded with one hand.

However, in the middle and late stages of the game, G2 forcibly moved the situation back with its superior resilience, and even almost ended the game in a wave.

In the end, the two sides fought for 52 minutes, and G2 adopted the tactics of stealing home.

TSM's top assistant returned to the defense in time, completed a thrilling 100 blood comeback, and also won the first victory of MSI.

The effect of this game program was full, the whole process was either fighting or on the way to fight, and the audience who watched it were hooked.

In the second game, SKT played against Flash Wolves.

It seems that SKT was stimulated by yesterday's disastrous defeat, and SKT was particularly irritable in this game.

Huni took out the sword girl, Peanut chose the signature blind monk, and Faker also took out the assassin murloc.

The bottom duo even got Dazui Gablon.

To be honest, FW's coaching is quite abstract.

To be able to come up with such a ghost BP with a big mouth to take a mouse, it can only be said that FW has picked up a treasure.

But even so, with such a strong lineup, SKT was actually led by FW in terms of early rhythm.

Backstage of the contestants, Qin Ge raised his eyebrows and said, "Good guy, SKT is too weird!"

He figured it out, even if he gave SKT an early tempo lineup, they would still be able to play defensive counterattacks.

Absolutely!
After 35 minutes of fierce fighting, SKT finally won the game with the single belt of Huni Jianji.

At the end of the game, Qin Ge and others got up one after another.

In the next game, it's time for them to play. The opponent is GAM, the big brother of Vietnam.

A few minutes later, the backstage door was knocked by the staff, and Qin Ge was the first to open the door and walk out of the lounge.

In this BP match, the Vietnamese big brothers changed their brutal style and actually selected the mid laner Lulu, playing four guarantees and one.

However, it is not the bottom lane that is guaranteed, but the wild mantis.

How to say this BP.

It's just... very abstract!

DAN's lineup is as violent and brutal as ever.

In the middle and upper field, Klie, Spider and Enchantress, and in the bottom lane, Verus and Thresh played the offensive to the extreme.

The game time is 1 minute and 40 seconds, and the mantis is caught on the second level.

Qin Ge used the dismount mechanism to escape successfully.

At 2 minutes and 36 seconds, GAM Nakano caught up again and played Qin Ge Flash.

This scene made Qin Ge laugh out loud.

It's better than shaking people, right?
very good!

At 3 minutes and 18 seconds, Nakanosuke of the DAN team came up collectively, catching the dead wine barrel and the mantis who was placed ahead of schedule.

At 4 minutes and 39 seconds, the DAN team hit the road with five packs and one, and once again caught the dead barrel.

At 5 minutes and 05 seconds, in front of the five players and the second tower, they caught the barrel of the backline again.

At this point, the wine barrel is completely disconnected.

on the commentary.

Miller shook his head and laughed: "You can't target the top lane when you play against the DAN team, because once you are targeted, you will find that this game is not only about operations and tactics, but also about human sophistication."

The baby on the side nodded, and said deeply: "GAM obviously doesn't understand, and I haven't suffered a lot."

"Any line of the DAN team can give up the line at any time and support the road. But the problem is, if you let the road go, you are raising monsters, and this is in an endless loop."

LPL official live broadcast room——

"Do you understand what a tactical core is?"

"Brother Gezi: When you come out, you have to be powerful and have a background. Which team do you belong to?"

"Laughing to death, the barrel people are stupid."

"Who can stand this?"

"DAN's operational tactics can be summed up in four words, the road is the father!"

"Little brother, playing on the road is very sophisticated."

……

After shaking hands with three heads, Qin Ge became even more unscrupulous after returning to the city to create Tiamat.

At 6 minutes and 02 seconds, Qin Ge made a big catch and successfully caught Lulu to death.

At the same time, Xiong Yulong took control of the first dragon.

At 7 minutes and 21 seconds, the DAN team took five packs to the lane, successfully killed the bottom lane duo, and took advantage of the opportunity to tear down the next tower.

At 8 minutes and 19 seconds, Qin Ge made a big catch again, and the five quickly assembled in the middle.

This wave of changing speed not only harvested the head of the opposite Nakano, but also took advantage of the opportunity to pull out the Zhongyi Tower.

GAM came up with this lineup, which is simply a waste of martial arts, giving up what he is best at.

Instead, he wants to use his own weaknesses to defeat Dan's strengths.

Isn't this nonsense!
The game time was 18 minutes. After the opponent was wiped out in a wave on the high ground in the middle, Qin Ge's five people took advantage of the situation to flatten the base and won the fifth victory.

After winning GAM, Qin Ge and the others did not seem very happy.

Among the six teams in the group stage, GAM is at the bottom no matter in terms of hard power or soft power.

It is taken for granted.

If you can't hold it, then wait to be sprayed out.

……

The next fourth game is G2 vs. FW.

I don't know if it's because G2 and SKT played too many training games, but since yesterday, G2 has been a little bit wrong.

BP is all based on SKT's model, the mouse is clockwork, assisting Tam, and playing cautiously on the road.

But let alone, with such a lineup and G2's operational ability, the effect is really good against teams like TSM, FW and GAM.

In this game, Casa was completely blown away by Trick.

The rhythm was completely crushed, and G2 ended the game cleanly in 27 minutes. The Flash Wolves were beaten by Linglong Tower and their heads were shaved.

"Tuigui, G2 has something!"

Xiong Yulong raised his eyebrows, his face full of surprise.

Yang Shuwei curled his lips and said: "I told you before, the G2 team should pay attention, their learning ability is very strong, and they are very creative."

"The Lightning Wolves' shortcomings are too obvious. Their individual ability is the worst among the six teams." Qin Ge interjected.

Can you believe that Kled can be single-killed by the third level when he beat Shen?

Although Shen does have a Counter against Kled to a certain extent, there is obviously a problem with MMD's Kled.

The core point of Kled's hero laning is that Ka W gets off the horse.

Using it well is equivalent to having an extra life.

But even if you put aside the top laner, Flash Wolves can't win this game.

This team is too dependent on Kasa's state. Once Kasa's state is not good, there will be no sound at all.
