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

Originally IG and RNG were chatting, but when Chen Yi Qiu came in, people from both sides came over to take a look.

Ning was the first to stand up and greet him: "Qiu Shen! So handsome? Is this your new team uniform?"

"Ning." Chen Yi Qiu responded.

Soon after, UZI and Xiaohu also came up.

UZI greeted: "Qiu Shen."

Xiaohu gave a thumbs up and said, "Very good, very energetic!"

Chen Yiqiu joked: "Will we see golden rain in this S-League?"

UZI smiled awkwardly and said that the golden rain was a joke made up by RNG fans.

Before the final, RNG fans said online that they wanted to see golden rain in the final.

That is to say, I want RNG to win the championship.

Embarrassingly, RNG lost in the semifinals and didn't even make it to the finals.

This golden rain has become a meme.

Ning said: "RNG should step back a bit, let IG come!"

"Qiu Shen, you guys will play from the upper half, and we'll play from the lower half, and we'll meet in the finals."

When these words came out of Ning's mouth, no one else was surprised, after all, Ning has always been so carefree.

Jackeylove, who couldn't bear to watch, came over, grabbed Ning's arm and pulled him aside: "Gao Zhenning, you're almost there, you should think about how to advance to the group stage."

Ning said dismissively: "Isn't it okay to play in the group stage? There's no way we won't advance, don't worry."

Just then, a staff member came in and said, "It's time, everyone, get ready, it's time to go on stage."

So everyone from RNG and IG stood up, and more than 20 people from the three teams, including players, managers, and substitutes, walked out of the backstage lounge and came to the back of the stage.

At this time, the host Colonel Guan came on stage and began to read the opening remarks.

The audience was also excited:
"coming soon!"

"Where are the TES fans!"

"This is RNG's fan!"

"Come on IG, we will always support you!"

After the opening remarks, Colonel Guan welcomed us:
"Now, let's welcome our three LPL teams with the warmest applause, first of all, the Spring Split champion, the MSI champion, and the Summer Split champion, Top Esports!"

All the TES fans in the audience cheered: "Top! Top! Top!"

Chen Yi Qiu led the TES members onto the stage and came to the center of the stage, accepting the cheers and applause.

The big screen above showed TES's game highlights from the past year, as well as the championship moment, creating a lively atmosphere.

Colonel Guan began to introduce the members of Top Esports one by one, starting with Chen Yi Qiu. Every time someone was introduced, his data was displayed on the big screen.

After Top Esports introduced everyone, Colonel Guan began to welcome IG and RNG.

IG and RNG appeared on the stage one after another, standing on the left and right of TES.

When all three teams appeared and were introduced, they took a group photo together.

What followed was an interview with the coaches and managers of the three teams, mainly to talk about their outlook for the S game.

Then, Fujii, the representative with ponytail, came on stage to give a congratulatory speech and handed the task of competing for the first LPL S championship to TES, IG and RNG.

The departure ceremony is over, and the official blog of the LPL region has updated the departure photos of the three teams, with all the blessings below.

So "The most promising year for LPL" became a hot search.

The next day, at the airport, the three LPL teams set off!
At the airport gate, everyone also met fans who came to see them off. There were quite a few of them, totaling over a thousand people.

After taking photos with fans, dozens of people from the three teams boarded the plane together.
After more than an hour's flight we arrived at our destination.

For Peanut and Lee Sang-hyuk, this was like going back home and it felt very familiar.

On the plane, Ning was sitting in front of everyone on TES and suddenly turned around and asked:

"Did you guys TES book a hotel in advance? Where is it? Is it the same hotel as ours?"

Hongmi shook her head: "Of course not, we don't stay in a hotel."

"Ah? If not in a hotel, where would you stay?" Ning asked.

"We plan to go to SKT's base, which is convenient for training." Hongmi responded.

"Puff..." The little peanut who was drinking water sprayed it all out in one breath.

"What do you mean? Did I hear you correctly? Living in the SKT training base?" Xiaohuasheng looked at Hongmi as if he had seen a ghost.

Hongmi nodded: "Yes, didn't Manager Guo Hao tell you in advance?"

Everyone looked at Guo Hao, who smiled and said, "I was planning to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect it. Don't tell me now. Yes, I contacted SKT in advance."

"They thought it was OK and very welcoming, and said some old friends wanted to meet up with us and catch up. I think that's great."

Peanut rolled his eyes. "Ah? Why is this happening? I'm dead, right?"

Isn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? There's no need for Li Zaiwan to come to him, he just came to him.

After getting off the plane, the TES team got in the car and headed straight to SKT's training base.

The surrounding scenery became familiar, and Chen Yi Qiu suddenly remembered the days when he played games in LCK. Judging from the time, it was less than a year since he left.

A moment later, the car stopped in front of the SKT training base. It was still the same as before, with no changes.

Everyone from TES got off the car. Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong felt a little restrained. After all, they had never played a game for SKT.

Suddenly, a man in a suit walked over quickly.

When everyone saw him, they saw his handsome face, gentlemanly demeanor, and stylish walk. If he was a little taller, he would be a typical hunk.

Coach Kkoma!

Peanut quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Coach Kkoma!"

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Kkoma came up to greet them with a smile.

"Manager Guo Hao, Coach Hongmi." Kkoma shook hands with Guo Hao and Hongmi, and the three of them exchanged greetings.

Chen Yi Qiu and Li Xianghe also walked up to say hello.

Seeing Lee Sang Hyuk, Kkoma gave him a hug and said, "It seems that you are a little fatter than before, Sang Hyuk."

Peanut joked, "The food there is so delicious. Brother Xianghe eats too much every day, so he is fat, isn't he?"

Kkoma looked at Chen Yiqiu again, stretched out his hand, and said:

"Chen Yiqiu, the top lane god! I watched your performances in MSI, Intercontinental Championship, and LPL Summer Finals. I don't know what words to use to describe you, but I know that you will dominate the top lane position for a long time."

Chen Yiqiu responded: "It's hard to say. The competition for the top position is very intense right now, and there are many talented newcomers."

Kkoma asked: "Is it the player named The shy? He is indeed very talented, and his talent is visible to the naked eye. However, it is not easy for him to surpass you. After all, you are also improving, and you are also very competitive."

Peanut was making crazy expressions next to him, trying to attract Kkoma's attention.

He was clearly the first one to come up, but was left behind by Kkoma.

Kkoma finally looked over, and Peanut quickly said, "Coach Kkoma, long time no see."

Kkoma then said: "Wanghu, you have gained a little weight, it seems that you have eaten a lot."

"Come on, I'll take you inside to have a look. Have you brought all your luggage?" So everyone walked inside under the leadership of Kkoma.

Entering SKT's training base, everyone saw a glass cabinet at the entrance of the hall.

This glass cabinet is full of trophies and medals!

It sparkles in the light.

Guo Hao walked forward and looked at them with fascination. These were all honors!

The league trophy was placed in the corner because there were too many trophies and the league trophy seemed to lack value.

However, in many clubs, the league trophy is placed in the middle because there are no other trophies to show off.

"Maybe this is the foundation of a wealthy team." Guo Hao exclaimed.

Everyone went upstairs and toured each floor one by one. There was nothing else to do anyway.

However, when everyone was sightseeing on the second floor, suddenly, a voice came:
"Ilchu, Lee Sanghyuk!"

When Chen Yi Qiu looked, he saw Li Zai Wan running towards him!

Although he was calling "Il Qiu Brother Li Xianghe", he was actually running towards Xiao Huasheng.

"Oh no!" Peanut panicked and ran away.

So the two began a crazy chase.

"Stop right there! Wanghu, where can you run to?"

Kkoma smiled awkwardly and said, "They have a good relationship, so after meeting, they couldn't help but..."

Chen Yi Qiu and Li Xianghe have become accustomed to it and are not surprised by it, but Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong find it quite new.

Because Xiaohuasheng usually acts like an older brother to the two of them, but now, this image is shattered.

The group continued sightseeing and finally arrived at the accommodation area and began to choose rooms.

SKT did not make it to the S game, so the players went back home for vacation and the room was empty.

What surprised Chen Yi Qiu and Li Xianghe the most was that their two rooms had never been occupied and were specially reserved by the club.

And every month someone comes to clean and keep the place clean and tidy.

The TES players put their luggage in the room and followed Kkoma to the training room.

"This is where we train daily. You can play training games here." Kkoma introduced.

Entering the training room, Chen Yi Qiu discovered that the layout here was different from before. It had been moved, but it didn't have much impact.

Chen Yi Qiu sat back in his old seat, put on his own mouse and keyboard, and felt as if he had gone back to a year ago.

After getting familiar with the environment of the training base, the TES members, together with Kkoma and Li Zaiwan, went out to eat together.

I arrived at the restaurant and found a place to sit down. Not long after, another acquaintance came.

A handsome, slightly plump man walked in. He was wearing sunglasses and dressed quite fashionably.

Bae Joon-sik!
Seeing this, Peanut said happily, "Bae Junzhi, you're here too? You're so handsome, are you in a relationship? Oh, by the way, I remember someone online said that you're dating a female anchor, is that true?"

Lee Sang Hyuk complained, “Can you please stop gossiping?”

Pei Junzhi greeted everyone: "Coach Kkoma, Brother Yiqiu, Brother Xianghe..."

Then he sat next to Chen Yiqiu, and Chen Yiqiu smelled the perfume. It seemed that Pei Junzhi had begun to enjoy life and his focus was no longer on the competition.

It's understandable, the team he's in is considered mediocre in the LCS, and it's not even ranked on a global scale. This is not something that one person can change.

Since I chose to go to the LCS region, I’m not going there for the sake of getting good results.

The waiter started serving the dishes and everyone ate and chatted.

Soon, the topic shifted to this year's S League.

Kkoma suddenly asked: "Do you TES feel any pressure in this S game? The goal is definitely to win the championship, do you feel that the opponent is difficult to deal with?"

Peanut chuckled and said, "Coach Kkoma, do you have any confidential information you can reveal about the three LCK teams?"

Kkoma shook his head: "How can I have such a thing? We were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs and didn't even face KT, AFS and GEN. I didn't spend time studying them."

Hongmi spoke up: "I think the three LCK teams are all very strong. Overall, KT should be the strongest, while AFS and GEN are relatively close, and each has its own characteristics."

Kkoma nodded. "I have a similar opinion. What about LEC? I think G2 has great potential in this S-League tournament. Their lineup has basically brought together talented players from the entire region."

Hongmi agreed: "Well, G2 is indeed strong. If you underestimate them, they are likely to fail. In fact, I think it would be a good thing if G2 could help defeat an LCK team."

Kkoma smiled: "The grouping of the World Championship is a big problem. There is some luck involved, but it should not have any impact on you TES. Your strength is there."

Hongmi smiled and said, "Coach Kkoma thinks highly of us. We are still learning now."

The two of them started chatting and felt a mutual admiration for each other.

After dinner, everyone in TES returned to the training base together.

It was still early, so Chen Yi Qiu went back to his room to pack his luggage, and then came to the training room.

It turned out that everyone else had already arrived and had already turned on their computers and logged in, preparing for ranking training.

It seems that everyone is under a lot of pressure.

For the next two days, the TES players played ranked matches at the SKT training base to regain their touch.

Chen Yi Qiu was also following the news online. All the major competition areas had already set off and arrived in LCK one after another.

The groups for the play-in round have also been announced. LCK won the S championship last year, so their third seed can directly enter the main competition.

LPL's third seed RNG needs to start from the qualifying round and compete for a place in the main competition.

On the third day of staying at the SKT training base, the TES team was training in the training room. The door of the lounge was pushed open, and Hongmi walked in and said:
"I've already arranged a training match. It's going to start in an hour. Everyone, get ready."

Peanut asked, "Who? Who are you fighting with?"

Hongmi responded: "G2."

"G2, it turns out to be them."

Everyone began to make preparations.

While there is still time, go online and check the news.

There is a lot of news discussing the S League now.

"Voting for the top 20 players in Riot's official S-League."

Suddenly Chen Yi Qiu saw an interesting title.

Top 20 players? It seems like every S-League has this, it's a reserved program.

Chen Yi Qiu clicked in to take a look. The voting was still going on, but there were still two days left before the deadline, before the qualifying round began.

The voting is divided into two parts: professional media and institutional voting and fans' online voting.

Finally, combine the results and wait for a relatively objective result.

Of course, as long as it is voting, there is no absolute objectivity, only relative objectivity.

Chen Yi Qiu took a look at the current situation. He was the first place, whether it was professional voting or online voting.

The second place is Lee Sang Hyuk.

It is also stated below that this is the first time in history that the first and second place winners are from the same team. (End of this chapter)
