Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 410: Quota Allocation and Expedition (Part )
Although Tenghai is steadily making progress in improving the status of a series of competitions other than the S-League, it is obvious that the top priority now is to make the first S-League, which is about to take place, a success.

The first is the issue of quotas.

Due to the results of MSI, there are a total of 24 places in the World Finals, with LPL and LEC getting four each, LCK and LCS getting three, LMS and VCS getting two, and the other six small regions getting one each.

In order to ensure that LPL, as the current top league, can attract the most attention, the official deliberately put the LPL finals at the latest schedule.
So by the time the LPL finals started, the bubble games or finals in other regions had basically come to an end, and the teams that would go to the S game had already been determined.

LCK naturally has three galaxy battleships formed in the summer season. If there is a fourth spot, perhaps other teams can work hard for it, but if there are only three, then the result can only be said to be no suspense.

In the LEC, G2 continued their strong performance in the spring in the summer season. Maintaining the original lineup, they won both the spring and summer championships with great momentum, becoming the only two teams to achieve this achievement.

However, it is worth mentioning that unlike their success in LEC, G2 established a CS division with a player named niko as the core.

It is obvious that the team is an absolute galaxy battleship just by looking at the lineup, and it was also the leader in the league when it first started.

But after the LEC schedule entered the final stage, the CSGO division, which was obviously unrelated to the competition, began to stumble.

I don’t know if the luck was sucked away by the branch next door.

All in all, MSI was one step away from victory. Well, considering that they were defeated 2- in the end, it may take more than one move for G to make a comeback with their little brothers in LEC.

This time, they don't want to be the champions of live entertainment.

For G2, the master of making trouble, they warmly welcome any work that can stir up trouble and attract attention.

For example, it would be very attractive to have Pei Yunteng come to Europe in person next spring to present awards for their three consecutive LEC championships.

Although we don’t know where their confidence comes from, they just think they can definitely win three consecutive championships.

In any case, the game hasn't even started yet, but G2 has already made some harsh remarks on Weibo, Twitter and other major social media platforms at home and abroad.

At the beginning, domestic audiences were quite disgusted, thinking that you, a defeated general, had no reason to be so arrogant when you were defeated 3-0 by Fanhua.

But G2 is even more serious about the live show than in their official matches, and they never double standards, and they are ruthless in criticizing others and themselves.

Over time, their media image has gradually moved closer to that of G2 in a parallel universe.

However, there are also side effects. With G2 as an abstract leader and the aggressive style of LEC, there are many magical scenes.
A group of players headed by Hai Lesong have "ruined" the overall image of the competition area to a great extent.

As a result, as the S game approaches, the publicity and understanding of teams from other regions are gradually increasing, and the image of the entire LEC region in the minds of LPL audiences seems to be changing little by little towards the direction of a comedian.

I don’t know if this kind of behavior can be considered another level of psychological warfare.

As for LCS, it is a region that does not need much to be said. In terms of hard power, it can even be said to be at the bottom of the four major regions without any controversy, although they still wishfully believe that they can suppress LCK.

But who told Xia Tian that they had to face the devil Jia Shi?

Although Jia Shi did not have any points in the spring season, they made it all the way to the runner-up position in the summer season. If it weren't for the fact that C9 almost gathered the strength of the entire region to stop them in front of the championship trophy in the final, they might even have qualified as the No. seed of the LCS as an all-Chinese team.

But even if they are only runner-up, it will be enough for them to participate in the North American bubble game and compete for the last two spots.

The other teams in the bubble match obviously had no ability to stop this crazy bull that almost overturned the entire division.

Thus, the second seed of LCS was miraculously taken by Jia Shi, and the third seed was finally won by a team called 100T.

Excellent Era's getting the second seed brought about two magical consequences.

First of all, it put pressure on the entire LCS region.

To what extent is the stress? Some radical bloggers have even analyzed the racial gap between yellow and white people in the gaming field.

Looking at that crazy look, he was just short of saying that white people are an inferior race in the gaming field.

What’s even more amazing is that such an abstract view actually has quite a number of supporters in North America.

If an old-timer tries to refute, he will usually get a reply like this:
"Hey, man, let's discuss this again when the proportion of white people in our expeditionary force exceeds half."

Well, among the fifteen starting lineups of the three LCS teams, Jia Shi is naturally an all-Chinese team, occupying five spots.

The other two teams, C9 and 100T, did not have a full day shift.

On the C9 side, the top laner IMPACT is from South Korea, and the bottom laner Doublelift is Chinese-American.

Although they are not Chinese strictly speaking, it doesn't matter. In the eyes of North American idlers with high per capita education, they are all Chinese.

Not to mention they have an African-American assistant.

100t’s “bloodline” is slightly purer, but they also have a Latino person of color in their team.

This resulted in the final count of the 15 North American starting players, seven of whom were Asian, one African, and one Hispanic, while there were only six rednecks wearing the Stars and Stripes.

Oh, no, two or three of these six are European immigrants.

This resulted in countless little pink and blue war eagles becoming so angry that their faces turned red when they saw the list of people going to the expedition.

The comment sections of C9 and 100T's social media also showed signs of collapse.

Many knowledgeable people have denounced that LCS has become a cyber colony of LPL in the field of e-sports.

So much so that there was a lot of quarreling every day.

However, what is strange is that in this public opinion storm, Jia Shi, which should have been in the eye of the storm, is actually in a calm situation.

Their public opinion situation is in a delicate balance.

On the one hand, Zhan Ying, who had a little more vision and culture, was actually a little embarrassed to cause trouble for Jia Shi.

The fact that a secondary league team from another region came to the top league in North America to colonize and grab places is abstract enough in itself.

In the end, someone else actually managed to grab the spot, which was even more embarrassing.

Excellent Era didn't even need to make any counterattacks. Their record as an LSPL team was enough to turn all attacks from LCS local fans into boomerangs.

You said LCS doesn't welcome you, get out of LCS?

We conquered the territory and grabbed the quota with our own abilities. What qualifications do you have to chase us away?
As for those semi-illiterate people who didn't think too much and just wanted to vent their anger and enjoy the pleasure of being a racist in the comments section of Excellent Era...

As it happens, the brothers of Jia Shi are not very well educated. At least they can't easily understand North American social media and communicate without obstacles.

When Tao Xuan sent the children to North America, he repeatedly told Wu Xuefeng that academic performance was secondary and the key was to ensure the physical and mental health of the young people.

Wu Xuefeng also did a very good job in this regard. Since the children basically didn't understand English anyway, he simply let them continue to use domestic social media and domestic software and only maintain social interaction with domestic people.

As for North America, the players' personal social media accounts? Live broadcast rooms? None!

The five members of Jia Shi came to North America just to compete in the competition and grab spots. Apart from the competition, they didn't consider anything else.

Anyway, they don’t plan to stay in LCS for long, and Xingxin is still waiting for young people to take over from the old Dengs.

If it were other contestants, they might have some complaints about such almost militaristic management.

But unfortunately, these young people in Jia Shi happen to have very pure personalities.

Especially Abin and Qiu Fei, the two core members of Jia Shi. Not only are they very powerful, but they are also honest and simple-minded young men.

With the two of them taking the lead, and their normal social media in China still open, everyone is not used to using North American social media except that it is a bit convenient for Brother Bin to find resources.

I simply gave up on communicating with my "fans" in North America.

Therefore, even if the old rednecks wanted to rant and rave, they could only go to Jia Shi’s official account and rage.

As for the comment section of that account, even Jia Shi itself was too lazy to read it.

In this way, from the end of the LCS Summer Finals to the time when the three places were completely decided, the overwhelming storm of public opinion hurt C9, annoyed 100T, and even forced the LCS officials to apologize.

However, it did not cause any impact on the culprit, Jia Shi.

By the day of the departure ceremony, the other two teams seemed a little depressed, but the five young men from Jia Shi were the only ones who were more energetic than the others.

In addition, I don’t know what the LCS officials were thinking. During the departure ceremony, the positions were arranged so that the three major seeds stood in order from left to right.

As a result, the second seed Jia Shi happened to stand between the first and second seeds.

Coupled with their high spirits and the contrast with the other two teams, for a moment, it was really hard to tell which team was the real number one seed.

Considering that LCS officials have announced a thorough reform of the rules on foreign aid in the next season to avoid a situation like that of Jia Shi from happening again, this scene will most likely become a swan song in the history of e-sports.

In addition to causing chaos in the LCS, it also gave domestic LPL viewers a big surprise.

In fact, Jia Shi was originally popular in China for a period of time at the beginning of their expedition.

At that time, many teams were amazed that there was such an operation, allowing their second team to go to the top league next door to gain experience, and expressed their envy and hatred for Xingxin and Jia Shi for being able to seize this opportunity.

However, at that time, both the top management and the general audience, and even Jia Shi themselves, felt that the main purpose of their trip was to gain experience in the top league in advance in order to grow up as quickly as possible.

As for the results, after all, it was a journey from a secondary league to a top league. Even if LPL had already won the title of the first division at that time, no one would think that Excellent Era could really achieve any results.

Keeping your place is a success!

In addition, the information flow between LCS and LPL is basically one-way. Over time, the LPL audience almost forgot that they had sent out such an expeditionary force.

As a result, after a few months, the expeditionary force not only did not lose its place, but instead made it to the world competition with one go?

That was a big surprise.

When the North American bubble match was over, it was the time for LPL to defeat the finals. The third match between Xingxin and Fanhua should have been the most controversial topic.
But in the end, the limelight was stolen by his own younger brothers.

"No, can Excellent Era really perform well in the LCS? I heard that if it weren't for the despicable locals collectively targeting them, they might even have won the championship!"

"Although their performance in the LSPL seems to be a team that can at least secure a spot in the LPL, it is still a bit too magical to make it this far in the LCS!"

"Then the question is, if they were almost defeated by Excellent Era, how bad are LCS?"

"Considering that LCS is still one of the top four regions in the world, the question is, how bad are those regions that are worse than LCS?"

The fans were naturally in a frenzy. Jia Shi's big move in the LCS undoubtedly brought great honor to the LPL in the international arena, and at the same time boosted the confidence of the LPL, which was already very strong.

But the problem is that their older brothers and sisters were already sweating profusely at this point.

"Look, look, our second team has won the LCS runner-up and the S League berth, and you are still fighting over a defeat?"

"In the spring, we were overwhelmed by the blooming flowers. If they replicate the script of spring, you will be worse than your descendants!"

"How can we even talk about the world championship if we can't even cross the flowers!"

That day, Mingkai finally found a reason to vent his anger, but Ye Xiu and the others didn't have the ability to refute at all.

Qiu Fei and the other three Excellent Era young trainees were all brought up by Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, with Qiu Fei being Ye Xiu's personal disciple.

Brother Bin was even more exaggerated. When he first came to Xingxin Internet Cafe to join Chen Guo, he even stole Yu Wenbo's leftovers.

If they were really outperformed by this group of youngsters in terms of performance, with the arrogance of the people in Xingxin, I'm afraid half of them would announce their retirement on the spot.

It is said that it was because of this that Ye Xiu spent the whole night thinking about tactics that day, and finally developed the later Trident tactics.

However, even though they performed extremely well and tried their best, Xingxin still finished second in the summer season.

If the champions of the four major divisions remain on par, they are only tying the record of their own second teams.

So in a sense, Xingxin is the team that needs to thank President Pei the most for his personal appearance to increase the value of the LPL championship.

After all the fuss in the major competition areas, one after another, the quota for the competition was finally determined.
The LPL quota has finally been decided.

　Update update, feeling sleepy today.
