LOL: Serve the country with loyalty, I have full attributes to resist Korea

Chapter 351 King holding three scepters! Triple Crown Skin!
"It's a pity that T1 can't come to MSI this year. This is the last year for Old Li, and there will be fewer games to play~"

Abin was lying on the backrest of the airplane, holding a small pudding in his mouth and looking at his mobile phone.

"You're done if T1 fans see this. What they can't stand the most right now are the words 'last year'." Angel teased.

"Indeed, Bin, you'd better be careful with your words and actions recently. After all, we are going to play the game at their doorstep this year. I heard that dump trucks are very popular in Korea." Jack Ai also said with a smile.

"It's not a big deal! I've seen someone organizing on the Korean forums. This year, Cheng's fans will form a guard team to provide full protection online and offline!"

"What do you mean we have our own great kimchi to debate the scriptures for us?" ON let out a strange cry.

Cheng Ming listened to the conversation of his teammates and smiled silently.

With the end of the summer season in each region, the MSI rosters have been released.

Since the S13 season, MSI, an international competition that has been criticized for its "value", has finally ushered in a major change in the competition system.

Simply put, the number of participating teams in the four major regions increased from one to two, and the new "Swiss Round" competition system was adopted for the first time.

Logically speaking, MSI is a gathering of the world's spring championship teams and the only world-class event of the year besides the S League. Even if its value is not as good as the S League, it should not be much worse.

But in fact, in the eyes of most viewers, the value of MSI is far inferior to that of the league championship.

It is useless to take it and it will not be counted in the "number of trophies in the competition area". If you abandon it, you will be insulted by the same level of players in the S competition. It is a very useless existence.

Perhaps Riot saw this situation and chose to increase the number of matchups between the four major regions that everyone is most interested in to two.

As for the so-called "Swiss Wheel".

To put it simply, it can be explained in plain language: "If you win, play with the winners; if you lose, play with the losers; if you win three times, you will advance successfully; if you lose three times, you will be eliminated."

Relatively speaking, this competition system will increase the tolerance for errors, is less prone to upsets, and the strength match between teams is more balanced.

However, due to the unexpected events that happened to T1 in the spring season this year, they suffered seven consecutive losses after Faker was rotated in, resulting in them not having enough points to squeeze into the top two in the spring season, and ultimately failed to make it to this year's MSI.

This also made Cheng Ming, who was on the road, somewhat uninterested in this MSI trip.

It's a pity that we missed an opportunity to fight early.

After all, Cheng Ming is very clear about what kind of people are there in this year's LCK except for that one team. It can be said that it is even worse than LPL in S12.

And the facts prove it.

This is not Cheng Ming being arrogant.

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, England, May 2023, 5.

The day the Swiss round begins is almost the day of the "final".

The two teams from LPL and LCK will collide directly in the first round!

WEvsKT
JDG vs GEN.G
As the second seed, KT ran into WE, and no one had much hope for them, especially when they saw the old captives Cuzz, BDD, and Aiming, who was replaced by ELK and kicked out and had just been sent back from BLG.

The result was naturally no suspense. Almost from the beginning, the three lanes were crushed.

As for JDG, they have invested a lot this year.

It is called "One Hundred Million Galaxy Battleships"!
The cost of building a team is even higher than that of WE this year!
In addition to Chidi, Kanavi, and 369, who are all at the top salary level, JDG also spent a lot of money this year to recruit "the highest paid domestic mid laner" Kinght Zuoshou from TES to replace Toothpaste.

It’s not to mention that there is always someone in the “Galaxy Battleship” every year.

It's a pity that the Galaxy Battleships never have a good ending every year.
"Smooth and clean! WE crushed us like a fry in Rank! We won our first victory!"

"JDG is the better team in this fierce battle! Left wins right! LPL region wins two consecutive victories!"

[WE has become a level stronger. I haven't seen such a gap in a long time! ]

[Squeeze toothpaste with your left hand and brush with your right hand! ]

[Facts have proved that the left prime minister is greater than the right prime minister. The Korean prime minister cannot capture the Chinese prime minister! ]

[Who told you that JDG is the prime minister's? Don't forget that last year, including the Asian Games, JDG was captured by WE four or five times in one year! At most, they are the eunuchs under the prime minister! ]

[Yes, yes, it seems like the S-League is here again this year! This year, let’s use the LCK’s home gate to give Li the trophy to send him off! Let’s pay back what we owed in S7! ]

[Our LPL is thriving, thriving! ]

LPL viewers haven't felt such a good situation for many years.

Not only WE, several teams at the top of LPL have also demonstrated strong competitiveness.

In fact, everyone felt this way until the last moment of S13.

The final stage of MSI is a civil war between two LPL teams, and it is also the second regional civil war in the World Championship after S11.

The results were no surprise.

369 was defeated by Bin as usual, and the bottom lane and the jungle were also full of old rivals, with the same familiar feeling as last year.

Compared with JDG which was "captured three times" by WE last year, the biggest change is obviously the replacement of the mid laner, which is also an important reason why they are regarded as the Galaxy Battleship.

But everyone knows the characteristics of the left hand!

When facing WE, he just acted like a coward. In order to guard against Cheng Ming's gank, he turned himself into an earthbound spirit, and even made his overall performance worse than last year!
"The wave is over! Still clean and neat! Congratulations to WE!"

The two British Mediterranean commentators at the scene shouted extremely exaggeratedly.

"The MSI stage has become a civil war in LPL, and WE has once again proved its absolute hierarchical suppression power within the region!"

"It's like they're invincible!"

"Now it seems that only WE and Krd can truly interpret the word 'dominance' in the league. Other people talking about this word is just temporary and very empty!"

"I think that in the future, the term 'legendary player' will be set at a very high starting point, because Krd has opened our eyes and allowed us to see the ultimate of a professional player!"

Another Mediterranean player narrowed his eyes and said, "This year's Krd has risen again according to Shi Yiye's evaluation. He has become a king who can control three scepters! WE has achieved its current performance under his integration!"

“I personally think it will be hard to see another player like Krd in the future.”

"And this dynasty will definitely be established this year, and it should be established! S13 will be their throne. Let us look forward to the legendary mark left by this strongest miracle maker in LOL when the first dynasty is born!"

Due to the successful export of Chinese players, the reputation of WE and Cheng Ming in North America is no less than that in China.

It even seems more fanatical here because of cultural differences.

The scene was filled with screams, and the two Chinese teams enjoyed home-level treatment abroad.

In comparison, it seems that not many people care about the LCK, which couldn't even make it to the MSI finals.

After a year of losing streak, the entire LCK region seems to be in a state of decline.

LCK seems to have entered the "Winter is Coming" copy.

[I'm not saying this, but from now on, just keep the title of the second division and don't let North America surpass you. This is my bottom line! ] [Laughing, where are the people who said they relied on Samsung before? Don't you look at the ID? Chovy, Pinat, Dolan, I beg you to open your eyes and look, is this an ID that you can trust? ]

[What does this have to do with Chovy? To be honest, one MSI really doesn’t mean anything. It’s not the first time we lost at MSI. Are you not used to it yet? ]

[Ah, right, right, anyway, it’s not the first time we lost the S game, it’s just the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth time~Are you still not used to it? ]

[Has no one noticed? In the spring season, apart from the seven consecutive defeats without Faker, T1 actually only lost one big game in other games. Isn’t it clear enough who we in LCK can rely on! ? ]

[Still Faker, still Faker, you are already half buried in the ground, I suggest you just surrender and aim for S14 this year]

Pudong International Airport, the evening of May 2023, 5.

Many passers-by in a hurry looked back frequently.

There were a lot of fans crowding at the door of the returning WE team. Passersby thought they were some celebrities holding an evening pick-up event here, and there was a big banner holding up "MSI Champions Triumph" behind them.

The WE players did not want to disappoint their fanatical fans, so they acted as emotionless thumbs-up machines and took photos with them one by one.

"God K is awesome! WE is awesome!" The fans are still cheering for them.

“Go for it when you go to Seoul this year! I want to see a match that’s even more silent than our S7 match! I look forward to the first quadruple champion to emerge!”

"The champion skin is so cool!!"

Cheng Ming, who was surrounded by people, heard a word in the crowd and then he remembered that today seemed to be the day when the champion skin video would be released.

Tencent Esports knows how to keep people on suspense, having previously only released a trailer showing the heroes chosen by everyone.

The release of the official preview video at this time was clearly a well-timed release, waiting to be released on the day MSI ends to catch the heat of the championship and whet people's appetite.

After returning to the car, everyone immediately couldn't wait to open the video and watch the actual demonstration.

The first to appear is [WE-Tryndamere].

Abin finally got what he wanted.

Tryndamere was greatly enhanced in the middle of the S12 season and was extremely popular in the mid lane for a while. It was only in the S stage that he became slightly unpopular. However, Bin still picked him in a game against the wildcard team in the group stage.

Because Bin's father, who went against the family's objections and fully supported Bin to pursue a professional career, is a "middle-aged master" who only knows how to play King of the Barbarians.

His first weapon skin once had a related easter egg. The "white-haired old barbarian king" in front of the screen couldn't beat his opponent, and Jax, holding a keyboard, took over from behind and punched into the screen.

And this third skin can be regarded as a kind of echo.

The Tryndamere first appears with white hair, but when he activates his ultimate move, he will instantly turn back into his youthful "black-haired" appearance.

Top comment: "Summoner, when is your shining moment? When I use my ultimate to summon Haodaer!"

There is also a unique easter egg. After the Barbarian King returns to the city, three trophies will suddenly fall from the sky. The Barbarian King uses all his martial arts to dodge and finally collect them all!
"It's so spicy! Dad will definitely like it! I like it too!" Abin was obviously quite satisfied.

Being able to give a champion skin to your father who supports your professional career is probably the highest honor for a League of Legends player.

Further down are the two mid laners.

The ones they chose were Angel [WE-Nila].

With Xiao Dongbei’s [WE-Kieran].

Xiao Dongbei only appeared in one game, so this was the only choice he had.

But he is already quite content. After all, Shi Guang is also a hero he often uses during the S11 period, which is a very satisfactory choice.

As for Angel, he actually had a lot of options to choose from, but in the end he still chose the unpopular new hero, Unruly Joy.

Nyla is a key player in multiple systems of WE in the S12 arena. She is a hero that can be used for both melee and ranged combat, and can perform functions as well as output. This is in line with Angel's image in the team.

And there is another layer. Nyra has the deepest linkage with the jungle position. When people see this hero, they will think of the Void Queen who is linked with her.

After that, it’s the bottom lane combination of [WE-Draven] and [WE-Braum].

ON's idea of ​​choosing Braum is very similar to Angle's. He has always regarded Cheng Ming as his idol and role model, and Braum is also the highlight of the jungler-support collaboration.

As for Draven.
In fact, Jack was initially struggling between Draven and Yasuo, but in the end he chose Draven who "best suited" him.

This is a big red-haired Draven with "WE red"!

Danmu sharp comments: [Not my buddy? How can you have three skins for one hero! And they are all selfies! ]

"Old Cheng, what does this barrage mean?" Jack Ai pointed at Cheng Ming of Baishitong and asked in confusion.

".Just look at Draven's fourth and seventh skins and you'll see."

"Hey, it's coming! Brother Cheng's is coming!"

As always, the finale, as always, of the highest standard.

The Queen of the Void rode the torrent of the void and drilled out across the spatial barrier.

The ethereal purple tone is rendered into the unified WE red of the entire skin set, which actually adds a touch of epic feeling!
When returning to the city, three golden crowns slowly descended from the void to the top of the head, hovering halfway above the Queen's back. After a while, a golden light flashed, giving off a sacred feeling.

This is also the card and easter egg unique to the "Triple Crown Skin"!
And since it is difficult to create special effects for the skills themselves, designers can only put a lot of thought into the models.

The entire model is carved with great delicacy and detail. Even the summoned void fish has two independent modeling sets, one for the normal state and the other for the real state. It will also undergo subtle changes as the skill level increases.

There's no way, the base camp is full of fans who are willing to work overtime.

[Shadow Lord, Ruined King, Void Queen, three crowns! And why does it feel like the upgrade path of these three skin names of God K is the same as his career! ]

[The episode that best fits the character setting. The next one should also be promoted to God, right? ]

[I understand! It must be Desert Death: God! ]

[Cheetah: "Actually, I can change my name to Wild Hunter TT"]

[Although this year's skin is still pretty good compared to the ones before S10, it still seems a little inferior to last year.]

[Normal. The heroes selected this time are not easy to make special effects. Don’t you feel that the models are obviously very delicate? It can be seen that the designers have tried their best.]

【God K: "It doesn't matter~ I'll just have another one this year!"】

Cheng Ming himself is quite satisfied. After all, he cannot expect to come up with special new ideas every year.

With the limited brain capacity of the design team, it would be good if they could create fewer new heroes and maintain a good balance. The past two years have been exceptional performance, and it is indeed difficult to make special effects for this year's skins.

After admiring their own champion skins, everyone returned to the Pudong base.

There is a short time between MSI and the Summer Season. The start of the Summer Season is imminent and a new version of the Summer Season has also been launched.

The last journey of S13 battlefield!
