Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 414: Sitting at home and welcoming guests from all directions (Part )
Guohao listened stiffly to a few big men exchanging their speculations and understandings about the foreign war, not daring to breathe.

His teammates, as well as those in the other three teams who were not very good at tactics, such as Baozi, were almost stunned by what they heard.

Otherwise, why can the big guys become the big guys?

We only have so little time for rest and preparation, yet we have to use all that time to discuss tactics.

This attitude alone has already left behind many of the pure-play teams.

Um, it seems like I’m the temporary captain of that biggest team.

He has never systematically studied tactical systems with his teammates, and even his captaincy was temporarily appointed by a group of scapegoats.

At this time, I was sitting next to the three big guys and listening to their discussion. Although I was one of the top professional players, there were many things in their discussion that even I didn't understand.

The main character is going to jail.

There's nothing we can do. It's not that Guohao's understanding of the game is really that far behind, but many things are ingrained in his habits. He can use them, but has no systematic research, and doesn't even know how to name them.

When it came to the discussion, Ye Xiu and his friends often threw out a bunch of self-made names when writing strategy guides, which would confuse anyone who came.

Many times, he wanted to persuade these big guys that there was still a month before the official competition, and there was still another week left if the qualifying round was excluded, so there was really no need to squeeze in these ten minutes.

At least give yourself a chance to catch your breath.

But when he thought that he was representing the reputation of a team, he felt embarrassed to say such an embarrassing thing.

Fortunately, the other three captains seemed to be aware of his predicament. At least they did not suddenly turn around and ask "Guohao, what do you think?" during the discussion.

It can be considered as retaining the last bit of dignity.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe an hour, or maybe just a few minutes, Guohao finally heard the heavenly sound that he had been waiting for for who knows how long.

"All players of the participating teams, please get ready. The departure ceremony will begin soon. Oh, and by the way, everyone only needs to wear the team shirts, and don't wear jackets."

There are 20,000 spectators waiting outside. We can’t just let them become victims.

Therefore, Guohao and the LGM players, who felt as if they had been pardoned, were finally able to be the first to throw away their coats and rush out of the lounge under the gazes of the three captains who were trying to hold back their laughter.

Leaving the well-soundproofed lounge, the voices of 20,000 people once again filled everyone's eardrums, with laughter, shouting, and discussions, it was extremely lively.

It makes everyone in LGM feel like they are back to the human world.

As for where hell is...let’s not talk about it for now.

Obviously, waiting for about ten minutes is not enough to make the audience give up the upcoming departure ceremony, even though this ceremony is just a formality in the eyes of most people.

This sense of ceremony is what we want!
The lights dimmed and the ceremony officially began.

As four mixed-cut promotional videos were broadcast one after another, the four teams came out one after another amid thunderous cheers.

"You know what, they cut it really well." Hai Chao said happily.

The editor of Tencent Esports is quite talented. Even though LGM, who was just playing badly at the time, was in such a mess, the promotional video was still edited very well.

There were even scenes of LGM members making faces and glaring in front of the camera. The scene was as funny as it could be.

As a result, I added a filter in post-production, adjusted the color tone and edited it, and the style of the painting suddenly changed, with a rough and fierce aura emerging.

It formed a sharp contrast with the other three teams that had a heavy idol image and were more reserved in front of the camera, complementing their fierce murderous aura.

This made the LGM members, who were suffering from image anxiety, feel relieved.

However, he let out a sigh of relief when the host called out the names of the contestants.

"Next, let us welcome the fourth seed of LPL, Lao Gan Ma. Optimistic Family Team, to the stage! —— (shock)"

Well, this is the full Chinese name of the LGM team, abbreviated as PF in the spring season and LGM in the summer season.

Everyone who thought the host would read out the initials of LGM started to turn green.

How could you forget that there is still a disaster here?

Needless to say, the audience on the stage burst into laughter without any concealment.

"Fortunately, we have no shortage of sponsors, and we don't need a specific sponsor to give us a title." Zhang Jiale smiled.

A team of their level certainly has no shortage of sponsors, so naturally there is no need to sell naming rights.

Perhaps this is the margin of the veteran strong team.

On the stage, the LGM members looked at each other, and they could see the deep grief and anger in each other's eyes.

I finally managed to salvage that little bit of my image, but it was ruined again.

"In this world competition, everyone should perform well and rush as much as possible to leave a deeper impression on everyone," Zeng Guohao said gritting his teeth.

"Then, try to find us a new sponsor!"

This is just great.

As a team whose combat effectiveness is determined by its morale, after defeating Xuanqi and entering the S game and getting what they wanted, LGM should have once again fallen into a state of slow decline in satisfaction.

But now, before they have time to slide down, they have a brand new goal:

Change the sponsor for your team.

Regardless of the strength, the key is that the new sponsor must have a domineering name!

They also need to look good, right?

Now, LGM's morale and spirit can be maintained for a long time.

With LGM, the team that brought the show to its full potential, taking the lead, the atmosphere during the team appearance segment was quite lively.

Whenever the Big Three appeared on stage, they didn't even need to try to look cool to draw screams and cheers from the whole audience, which made the LGM members become more and more introverted.

However, except for experienced players like Su Mucheng who had a sweet business smile, most of the others had stern faces for some reason.

In this occasion, such an image seems quite mysterious and difficult to deal with.

But actually——

"Boss, it's a bit cold."

"Hold on, if you still want to maintain your image, don't shake. The process shouldn't be long and will be over soon."

I don’t know why, but the official requires the players not to wear team jackets when they appear on stage.

The air conditioning on site is quite powerful and it feels cool when it blows on my body.

It's just a little... chilling.

LGM doesn't feel much because of their excited emotions and other reasons, but it's different for the Big Three.

If it weren't for the LGM incident, many people would have given up trying to protect their image in front of the camera. Why do you have to take off your coat? Some people have already complained quietly.

However, they soon found out why.

After all four teams came on stage, they formed a fairly tight square according to the pattern of the previous rehearsal.

I thought that after reciting the lines and striking some poses, today's ceremony would be over.

But then——

"Oh my god, what is that?!"

Baozi, who had the sharpest eyes, suddenly noticed more than twenty dark shadows hanging above the ceiling, and now they began to slowly descend.

At the same time, the spotlight quickly moved upwards, and the light converged on the shadow, revealing its true form.

That was customized for the competition area and belonged to the expeditionary uniforms of the four teams.

The main color of the whole body is black, which is elegant and majestic. There are golden dragon patterns embroidered on the shoulders. The color tone and size have obviously been designed, which makes it look domineering without being too cliché.

I won’t go into other details, the thing is, he’s handsome.

"This... is a bit strong--" At this moment, the players of the four teams no longer cared about the little unhappiness of being frozen all the way. Their eyes were shining.

I have to say, the idea of ​​having the conquest fall from the sky is indeed a great idea.

Although in a parallel world, this part is somewhat difficult to describe due to many reasons such as the expedition style, the size of the scene, the lighting level, the atmosphere, etc.

So much so that fans nicknamed him "the shroud that fell from the sky."

But when Tencent spent a lot of money, used the most professional team to create an atmosphere at a large venue like Mercedes-Benz, and made those expedition uniforms designed by top designers appear in the spotlight,
The shock it gives to the audience is quite good.

The traveling uniforms were lowered, and the contestants happily put on their own uniforms.

The advantage of LPL's average appearance far exceeding that of other regions was fully demonstrated at this moment. After the eighteen people from the Big Three put on their expedition uniforms, they only needed to slightly block a certain evil view, and then they could be used directly as models.

Even LGM's temperament has been improved after the change. Although it is still a bit miserable against the other three good-looking teams, when taken alone, it can be regarded as a team of elegant and energetic young men.

LPL viewers are in for a treat.

"In one month, the first League of Legends World Championship will be officially held in China."

"The four top seeds of LPL are on stage, waiting for guests from all over the world to arrive and compete for the top spot!"

"See you in the finals!"

……

The departure ceremony has been completed, which means that the summer seasons in all major competition areas have finally come to an end.

Next, we will wait for the final S game to decide who will win the final and most important championship trophy of the year.

The LPL's departure ceremony also caused some waves around the world.

There is nothing I can do. Although this departure ceremony is quite formulaic, there really aren't many innovative parts.

However, the high-standard and high-investment scene, coupled with a group of good-looking contestants, still raised the level of this formal departure ceremony.

This result indirectly demonstrated LPL's status as the top league.

This also makes other divisions even more jealous of the position of the first division.

After watching this departure ceremony, the preparation intensity of teams in other regions will probably have to be raised to a higher level.

So the question is, what is LPL doing?
Believe it or not, they are currently in a bit of a disagreement.

"I personally still think that as the runner-up region in the spring, LEC is the opponent we should pay the most attention to," Zhang Jiale emphasized.

Beside him, Fanhua coach Lu Liang and LGM coach who does not deserve a name for the time being also nodded slightly.

“But LCK’s growth rate is too fast.” Yu Wenzhou shook his head slightly.

"And the SKT team you faced had many problems, such as internal conflicts and the coach's trickery, and they did not fully display their strength in front of you."

"I watched some of their games, and they are indeed a completely different team from Chuntian. Their speed of improvement is worthy of being a region that once dominated the e-sports world."

Xuanqi head coach Zhang Yiwei, who had finally escaped from the defeat by LGM, expressed his approval of Yu Wenzhou.

The tactical exchanges in the lounge were not just a show. Not long after the departure ceremony, several major teams and some well-known tactical experts in the region gathered in a venue to discuss the next external tactics and other arrangements.

In the LCK, the internal unity that could not be achieved despite great efforts is as easy as eating and drinking in the current LPL.

The Chinese have a fine tradition of being united against foreign enemies.

During the discussion of tactics, a rare disagreement arose over "which region might become LPL's biggest opponent in the S League".

For the people of Fanhua who had played against all major regions in the spring, recalling the records of playing against major teams in the spring, they subconsciously regarded LEC as the number one opponent in the upcoming S game.

Although MSI's runner-up G2 failed to snatch even a small victory from Fanhua, compared to other teams, they still put enough pressure on LPL.

The personal abilities of players such as CAPS and jankos in the team also left a deep impression on Zhang Jiale and others.

However, after studying the LCK videos, Yu Wenzhou, Zhang Yiwei and others firmly believe that LCK is the strong opponent that LPL must be careful about in the future.

The young people's outstanding basic skills and potential, the rapidly growing tactical system, the growth rate of LCK is a bit scary.

Not to mention they also have a talented mid laner who makes everyone look at him like a big devil...

"Is that young man Li Xianghe really as strong as you think? He is a fan of LPL." Zhang Jiale hesitated and didn't understand why they were so afraid of that little fanboy.

"Because he is our fan, he does not have some common problems of LCK. Considering his talent, his ability is beyond doubt."

Zhang Jiale nodded, but after thinking for a moment, he added, "But I must remind you that his performance may be exaggerated."

"It's not that I don't recognize Lee Sang Hyuk's ability. I'm quite concerned about this little fan," he explained.

"But his team, since MSI, has clearly wanted to use him as their face."

"So his teammates often ignore tactical arrangements and even sacrifice some chances of winning in order to protect the mid laner and let him perform smoothly."

"In this environment, his performance must be watered down."

He still feels that in the short term, the LEC guys will be more difficult to deal with.

The two sides discussed for a long time, but still could not reach a sufficient consensus. So Yu Wenzhou sighed:

"Since there is no way to persuade them directly, we can only seek external help."

"Xinjie, Shiqin, sorry for the long wait, come in."
