LOL: Seventeen, No. 1 in the World

Chapter 52 [You] VS [SMLZ]

LPL teams have already felt the unusualness of this summer.

EDG is still as experienced as ever. Once they enter their operation phase, the opponent team is like their plaything.

After the baptism of MSI and the bonus of the Spring Championship Buff, WE's players are in better and better shape. They rarely rely on Dragon's Son to snatch the dragon and win, and their strength improvement is visible to the naked eye.

RNG is also almost invincible in the late game. If UZI gets a late-game hero, they can basically dominate the game.

OMG's SMLZ also often turns the tide in the late game.

IG team's violent online play also makes all teams afraid.

The teams that are performing well at the moment all have a strong bottom lane and ADC to provide support in the late game.

The difference is that only the IG team is fighting in the early stage, and in fact, there is currently no team that can withstand the pressure brought by the IG team in the early stage.

IG does not pursue team battles, but only pursues a strong BP method online, which also puts tremendous pressure on all teams.

What about the strong ADC Tristana in the Hook-8 version, or the mid lane Kassadin? You will be beaten to a pulp if you choose them.

IG's extremely entertaining playing style from the start has caused the popularity of the entire IG team to surge.

Apart from EDG, RNG, and WE, IG has become the team that most viewers can call out the names of all the players.

Top lane, Theshy!

Jungler: Ning!

Mid laner: Rookie!

ADC: You!
Support: Baolan!

The playing style is entertaining and the audience loves to watch it, but IG’s real fans are also worried about one issue, which is whether IG can play in the late stage.

Can they play against strong teams?

Relying on the late-stage ADC's operations to turn the tables has long become a deeply ingrained idea among LPL viewers.

Moreover, the teams that IG played against before were not even considered top in LPL.

If IG encounters a team that is really strong in laning and has relatively mature operational capabilities in the later stages, can its winning streak continue?

This has become something that IG fans are really worried about.

Week 4 of the summer regular season, Saturday.

[IG Team] VS [OMG Team]

Sima Laozei has always been a team that many LPL viewers consider to be a pity. They have super carry abilities and explosive output, but have never entered the World Championship.

Didn't even get a decent ranking.

However, this does not affect the audience's love for him or recognition of his abilities.

Chen You is also facing a very severe test.

SMLZ!

Not those mediocre ADCs in LPL!

He is a man who has the ability to change his destiny.

******
The Shanghai Stadium was packed with people.

Whether it is the current IG team or the OMG team played by SMLZ, they both have a considerable fan base.

The stadium, which can hold thousands of people, was packed.

A little girl in a white princess dress looked at the staff fiercely, "I'm an IG fan, why are you giving me an OMG support sign? I don't want it!"

The staff smiled and explained, "No more, really no more! Who knew that so many people who bought IG audience tickets had so many IG fans?"

Yes.

The moment the tickets were released, all the tickets for IG were sold out.

I refreshed the page and found that the OMG tickets were gone.

The official is actually a little confused. This kind of situation only occurred in the games between RNG and EDG in the past. Is IG so popular now?

IG team lounge.

Su Xiaoluo stood behind Chen You and rubbed his shoulders as usual. He saw Chen You's efforts and he maintained a very good competitive state every day. Mafa once again reminded the players of the things to pay attention to in the game, "When playing against OMG, the most important thing to pay attention to is their double C!"

"SMLZ has strong laning abilities, a lot of experience, and a deep hero pool. You guys should try your best."

Mafa glanced at the calm Chen You and continued, "When you can't suppress it, don't be reckless. You need to know when to advance and retreat. We can find a breakthrough from other ways."

It is impossible to prevent Chen You from having a head-on confrontation with SMLZ. How could a young man be afraid?

Now everyone in IG doesn’t know that Chen You’s goal is to become the world champion.

Mafa didn't really care about losing this game to OMG. He was still worried that Chen You would be beaten by the top ADC in LPL and his mentality would explode.

Moreover, OMG knows who the big daddy is and will definitely target Chen You.

Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's just an OMG, not worth mentioning."

This is what Mafa was worried about. "You've never lost. Oh, forget it! Let's talk about the mid lane."

"The strength of their mid laner Icon is underestimated. He dares to operate and make big moves. Rookie just needs to be careful."

"If Icon gets a hero that can charge, Baolan, you must protect the ADC!"

Baolan chuckled, "Don't worry, I understand!"

King Ning said, "Mafa, please stop boosting their morale, okay? They are the ones we should be worried about!"

Mafa really doesn’t know how to lead the team now.

The team keeps winning, so the problems exposed are actually not problems.

Only by experiencing failure can these young people calm down.

OMG lounge.

As Ning Wang expected, the one who was worried was the OMG team.

As a veteran strong team, it once rose with [Dark Force], and fell into decline due to [Break the Friendship] and [Shock Wave]. Now with the addition of fresh blood Icon and the strong AD Sima Laozei, the team has shown a trend of returning to its peak.

The strength cannot be underestimated.

Coach Mingzhe said seriously, "You can't treat today's game as a regular season game. I guess all the LPL teams will come to watch today's game."

"Today's game may very well affect whether we can qualify for the World Championship!"

World Series.

Sima Laozei, who had been lowering his head, finally raised his head and stared at Coach Mingzhe.

What SMLZ wants most is to enter the World Championship to prove himself.

Icon looked unconvinced. They were all newcomers, so why did Chen You get so much attention?
I am very strong too.

Mingzhe continued, "IG is so powerful right now. If we can't break their momentum, they have a good chance in the World Championship."

"Everyone knows the strength of our team. It is slightly inferior to those three teams."

"If even IG can become our opponent in the World Championship, then our chances of entering the World Championship will be even slimmer."

Everyone knew what the coach meant.

When the two teams meet in the regular season, whoever wins will have a psychological advantage in the future playoffs.

As for losing to RNG, EDG, and WE, not many people care.

The strength shown by these three teams at the moment is too strong. I am afraid all the audience will take it for granted if they lose to them.

On the stage.

Xiran was wearing a dark green skirt, the hem of which looked somewhat transparent, which made her already beautiful legs look even longer. The color of the clothes also made Xiran look more stable.

Originally, it was not Xiran's turn to host such a popular competition as IG, but because Chen You was more talkative during the interview with Xiran, many viewers were more willing to watch the interaction between the two, which led to her hosting this popular competition.

Xiran didn't quite understand why Chen You had a good impression of her when there were so many female hosts in LPL, including the queen like Yu Shuang, the petite and cute Xiao Yu, and the funny and naughty Luo Xin.

But she cherishes the opportunity now.
