Chapter 159 Depart for San Francisco, World Tournament Opens

When Lin Yi got up and surfed the Internet at noon the next day, he found that there was already a huge quarrel on the Internet about the lottery ceremony.

Hot search terms such as 'Death Group', 'VG', 'RNG', and 'EDG' account for almost half of the list.

He randomly clicked on a few entries and looked through the comments.

[VG’s grouping is too outrageous, what kind of monsters are in the group? 】

[Double champion SKT, European Summer Split champion G2, plus a North American No. [-] seed, I feel it is difficult to qualify. Is it possible to have the No. [-] seed in the top [-] like last year? 】

[RNG is not much better. Samsung slaughtered KT in the bubble match. KT is a team that can chase SKT from two to three, and there is TSM above them, the North American Summer Split champion! 】

[It seems that EDG has made it to the quarterfinals?The brother team Flash Wolves will undoubtedly give away points, H2K?Is Yue Lun on this team?Coupled with the Brazilian wild card, there doesn't seem to be a strong team. 】

[EDG’s Group A in the Summer Split is known as the Fish Belly Group, and now there’s another Fish Belly Group in the World Championship. If EDG can’t even qualify, I suggest you don’t take a plane and swim back directly from the Pacific Ocean. 】

The League of Legends World Championship was so popular that Lin Yi could only see a small number of comments after browsing for about ten minutes.

Generally speaking, most domestic netizens are pessimistic about the results of this lottery grouping.

According to their thinking, VG, the three LPL teams in this S competition, is the most difficult team to enter the quarterfinals.

In the group, there are not only the double champions of the World Championship + SKT, the winner of the MSI championship in the first half of this year, but also the European and American duo of G2 and C9.

It is said that it is a European and American competition, but this is also a title created by S4 Royal Family + OMG.

In S5, there were still two teams that entered the top four of the S competition, and their performance was a level higher than that of the LPL.

Even though the G2 team did not perform well in this year's MSI, it felt a bit like a civil war fantasy.

But at any rate, he is the double champion of the European Spring and Summer League, so his strength should not be underestimated.

Although C9 is the third seed in North America, they are actually the runner-up in the summer split, losing only one hand to TSM.

The team even has S3 Global Finals champion top laner Impact.

No LPL audience will underestimate them.

"Sigh" Lin Yi shook his head, putting the pessimistic thoughts behind him, got up, washed up and went downstairs to train.

With a powerful enemy ahead of him, he didn't dare to slack off at all.

In the following time, Lin Yi increased his training frequency by another level.

In addition to the daily Korean server Ranking and Solo practice with Long Ge, he also took time to browse the ranking data website to see if there were any new favorites in the version and different outfit ideas.

Day after day of hard training, time flies by like a fleeting moment.

Finally, the day came when they were ready to leave for America.

Team leader Jin Wenhyuk became both a father and a mother, and his voice reminding the team members echoed in the villa.

"Don't leave anything behind. Once you get on the plane, you won't be able to come back!"

Lin Yi checked his suitcase several times and made sure it was correct before boarding the bus and choosing a seat.

Arriving at the airport, the three teams competing for the World Championships were making their final assembly.

"Come over and take a group photo together as a souvenir."

The staff arranged everything in an orderly manner.

After finishing the last chores, Lin Yi followed his teammates into the cabin, found a seat and sat down.

Looking at the scene outside through the window, his heart beat violently.

The journey to the World Championship has officially begun!
"Do we have to fly for a long time?"

Duan Deliang asked nervously from the side.

"Yes, we won't land in San Francisco until 12 hours later!" Lin Yi pondered for a moment before replying in the affirmative.

Brother Long came over, his excited voice mixed with a bit of uneasiness: "This is my first time going abroad."

"Who is not?" Lin Yi was also full of expectations. "I heard that I will be jet-lagged when I get there. I wonder if it will be good?"

"It shouldn't be anything, right?" Duan Deliang replied softly, "I sleep during the day at the base, and I can easily switch to sleeping at night when I get to my hometown."

"It's different." The factory director, as someone who has been there, imparted his own experience. "Jet lag is quite uncomfortable. If this world championship hadn't been held in the United States, I would never want to experience it again."

He had been to the United States during MSI in 2015. Apart from the joy of winning the championship, what impressed him most was the painful feeling of jet lag.

The most important thing is that the schedule is extremely tight. From the time the plane lands to the start of the game, there is only two days of rest. No one can recover and they play for four consecutive days.

Played through everything from the group stage to the finals.

If it weren't for my physical fitness and my ability to resist, it would be hard to say what the final result would be.

"Hello hello!"

Uzi's majestic figure like a mountain appeared in Lin Yi's sight, "How was the recent training match?"

The rest of the RNG team members followed him and poured into the cabin.

Dandy and Fat General stood up and greeted their old teammates Mata and Looper in Korean.

"Not so good!" Lin Yi looked sad when talking about this, "I can't get a date with the Korean team."

In the previous summer split, VG had almost endless training matches.

But it's different now. Since there are only [-] teams entering the global finals, many teams have already taken a holiday.

Not only that, the three teams in the LCK also seemed to be holding back their energy and rejected their invitations for various reasons. Even Redmi had no choice.

During this period, VG can only target European and American teams that they have not played before.

Although the winning rate is good, Lin Yi always feels that the effect is average.

"It seems that everyone is the same," Uzi sighed. "Every time it comes to the World Championships, South Korea starts to make these little tricks."

"It's so normal. They don't think highly of us in the first place. After all, they have been ruling this game for three years." The director sneered, "And they all know the sportsmanship over there!"

"The LCK side probably practices in-house," Tian Tian interjected, "What year would they not do this?"

Lin Yi smiled bitterly and was helpless about this.

Taking the recent World Championship group stage as an example, VG can only obtain opponent information on paper.

Such as hero pool, universal system, etc.

But this information is of little use at all.

Normally, a team would only play a few dozen official games in the entire summer split, and they would span a full 7 versions. The team's tactical style had already undergone earth-shaking changes with the patches.

Nobody stays in the same place all the time.

How much reference value can the earlier games have?
Without samples to study the opponents' flaws and loopholes, Lin Yi and others could only improve their hard power through other training during this period.

Other than that, they have no other option.

The flight gradually took off, and the plane slowly became quiet.

Lin Yi put on the eye mask and began to take a nap with his eyes closed.

12 hours passed by suddenly.

During this journey, he was in a light sleep state for a long time. When he was awake, he was eating and going to the bathroom.

It was 10 o'clock in the morning when the plane arrived in San Francisco on the West Coast.

Lin Yi stood up and moved his body. At this moment, the voice of team leader Jin Wenhe sounded.

"Everyone, follow me closely and don't wander around," he kept warning. "I'm not familiar with this place. If I lose it, I'll be in trouble."

Lin Yi followed him and slowly left the cabin.

The sun is shining brightly in San Francisco and the weather is still very nice.

The VG training department got their luggage and gathered together as a group.

Riot Games sent staff to pick them up. It was also a bus, and a group of people filed in.

Lin Yi found a seat and sat down, then took out his cell phone to report to his parents that he had landed safely.

After arriving at the hotel, Jin Wenhe took them to their rooms one by one. "The training base set up by Riot Games is inside the hotel. After putting away our luggage, let's gather in the lobby and go take a look."

He went on and on: "The first, second, and third floors of the hotel have been officially reserved, and the next sixteen teams will live here. If you have any players you want to make friends with, you can also drop by and take a group photo to commemorate the exchange team." It’s okay to take anything.”

Lin Yi nodded to express his understanding.

After Jin Wenhe explained to him, he took the remaining team members to the next room.

Lin Yi opened the door with the room card in his hand and dragged the suitcase inside.

The layout of the room is no different from that of domestic hotels, with a large bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a separate wet and dry bathroom.

Much the same.

Lin Yi opened the window and prepared to ventilate the room.

After gathering in the lobby, the group took the elevator to the 7th floor.

"This is our training room at the back. You guys try out the computer and the Internet first. If you have any questions, just ask and I will explain it to Riot."

Lin Yi glanced at the room.

The training room converted from a temporary hotel room is definitely not as spacious as the VG base.

Two long tables were put together, with five computers placed on each side, for a total of 5, plus chairs and tactical whiteboards.

These objects almost fill the room.

The rest is like the balcony and bathroom.

It doesn't look big, but fortunately it has everything.

Lin Yi installed his peripherals on the computer, made sure there were no problems, and then asked aloud: "Do we have to play the US server later?"

"Yes," Jin Wenhe replied, "Fist has already sent us the super account. I will put a sticker on the upper right corner of the computer later. You can follow the same steps to log in."

After handling everything, he announced that he would disband on the spot.

The contestants had been working hard for more than ten hours. When they heard that it was time to leave, they all returned to their rooms to catch up on sleep and jet lag.

Lin Yi washed up a little and then fell into a drowsy sleep.

When I woke up again, the sky in San Francisco had completely plunged into darkness.

Lin Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes. After feeling that he was in good condition, he took out his mobile phone and surfed the waves.

VG official blog posted several VBs today.

There are pictures of the training team leaving for San Francisco, as well as photos of the three teams.

Lin Yi felt that there was nothing interesting, so he looked at the hot search list again.

What he didn't expect was that he was on the list again.

And it was with Faker.

"Could it be that bull's head?" He muttered to himself.

Lin Yi clicked in and found that it was a video.

It shows the performance of SKT players when they witnessed the lottery results.

At the beginning of the video, when the teams for Pool [-] were being drawn, the SKT members had calm expressions.

On the screen, Wolf asked his teammates in a loud voice, and Chinese subtitles were displayed below: "Which team do you want to go to?"

Bang next to him didn't hesitate: "Let's go to Group C, there are Flash Wolves over there!"

He explained his reasons: "We were double-killed by him in the group stage of MSI. If we can meet him this time, of course we must take revenge!"

Flash Wolves are now hailed as the 'Korean Heroes' by many domestic audiences. They often defeat LCK teams in the BO1 group matches and have a terrifyingly high winning rate.

Bang is obviously extremely confident in the strength of his team and must regain his position.

Wolf muttered in a low voice: "I really want to draw VG. After all, there is Brother Zhixun in it. I haven't seen him for a long time."

2015 was a turning point in Li Zaiwan’s career.

They met EDG in the finals of MSI. They fought five fierce games in total, and Wolf died 25 times!
At that time, he was so criticized by Korean netizens that he was autistic. Almost everyone commented that he was SKT's biggest breakthrough.

It wasn't until the summer split that Wolf learned from the painful experience and began to work hard to improve, which led to his wonderful performance in the global finals.

From the trough to the peak throughout the year, Wolf benefited a lot, and naturally missed his old teammates from that year.

When Captain Jack drew SKT into Group B, Wolf jumped up and down with excitement.

"Hahaha, brother Zhixun, I'm coming."

Judging from his expression, he seemed not to care at all about the strength gap between the teams in Pool [-].

South Korea has dominated the League of Legends World Championship for three consecutive years, which made Wolf think that the LCK team will still share the cake in this S game.

Teams outside the Korean Division have no chance of winning the championship!

"Joonzhi probably doesn't want to meet VG."

Faker on the side suddenly said something.

Anyone who is familiar with him knows that every time Faker shows an expression that makes him want to laugh but doesn't want to laugh, that's when Lee Sang Hyuk gets into trouble with his teammates.

As expected, Bang's face turned dark immediately after hearing this.

"Oh? Why." Ma Yun said calmly.

He was equally unfazed by the draw of his group.

In Kkooma's opinion, the ones who are afraid are the teams that are in the same group as SKT.

"Hey," Wolf Le's eyes narrowed, "It's not because of VG's AD player. Junzhi can't beat him every time."

"Hey, hey," Bang looked dissatisfied, "The bottom lane is a matter between two people, and you can't escape the involvement!"

"MrY?" Kkooma rubbed his chin, "His performance in the training match was really impressive. I heard that Sang Hyuk spoke highly of him?"

"We cooperated once in qualifying," Faker explained. "His reaction was very fast!"

Wolf's eyes were rolling, and he suppressed a smile on his face: "When I talk about this, I think of the scene where MrY's little cannon was killed by you, which even happened a few days ago."

"I told you it was because I wanted to save him!"

Faker glared at him, seeming to feel that his image was shattered.

SKT's training room was filled with laughter and laughter.

Wolf is like a living treasure, no matter who he is, he will go to provoke them.

There are thousands of comments on this video of the lottery ceremony.

Lin Yi browsed hastily, wanting to see what other tricks the netizens were doing.

[Really or not, Bang can’t beat MrY? 】

[Looking at this appearance, the entire SKT team is very impressed with him]

[I watched that Niutou live broadcast, Faker really did it hahaha]

[To be honest, I am looking forward to this World Championship more and more]

Lin Yi surfed for a few minutes and felt that he was officially awake. He put down his phone and ran to wash up.

After finishing, he went out and rushed to the training room.

After entering the room, Lin Yi found that none of his teammates had arrived yet, presumably still adjusting to the jet lag.

He found his seat and sat down. The team leader had posted all the accounts of the US server on the upper right corner of the computer.

Lin Yi followed the instructions and logged in.

After changing the garbled ID to the nickname he wanted, he started his first ranked game on the US server.

Time flies.

On September 9th, the 29 Global Finals will officially open today!
