I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 76-Fighting KT, Riot's star-making plan!

"These people are probably crazy."

After browsing the LMS and LPL forums, Yuan Shen came to this conclusion.

He doesn't even know where the LPL audience gets their confidence from.

AJ was beaten into nothing by MaRin's forehand and backhand, and he's still bragging...

"It's a bit uncomfortable to play against KT in the quarterfinals."

Zhou Luxi muttered.

Indeed, not very lucky.

Among the four teams that advanced from the group as the second place, KT is the strongest one.

Even if the first place in other groups is taken into account, KT's strength should not be underestimated.

Especially KT team's top laner Ssumday.

Many players who started watching the game in S6 may be unfamiliar with this ID.

But in fact, before the S5 World Championship, the most famous top laner in LCK was Ssumday.

Smeb's peak was in S6, while MaRin's highlight was in the S5 World Championship.

Ssumday is the undisputed number one top laner in LCK.

In the LCK league, Ssumday's performance has always been better than MaRin and Smeb.

Ssumday showcased his depth by playing 2015 different top laners in the 12 LCK Summer Split. His champion pool included popular champions of the time (Shen, Gnar, Maokai) as well as snowballing carries (Yasuo, Riven). He was also the 2015 LCK Summer Split MVP, winning 14 games. This award further validated his crucial role within the team, as his skill, particularly his use of Teleport, helped his team gain the lead.

"Ssumday has been KT's ace throughout 2015. He contributed 2015 points to the 1400 LCK Summer Split MVP award, defeating Faker for the title. His Maokai has been a constant source of morale. However, KT has been somewhat lacking in overall suppression. If the opponent focuses on Ssumday, this match will undoubtedly be a tough one."

"As a member of the 2014 OGN Summer Championship team, Ssumday has always been the team's core carry. Whether facing MaRin or Smeb, Ssumday can always perform at his best. If MaRin and Smeb are the sword of attack, then Ssumday is KT's shield. When KT needs it most, he keeps KT's hopes of victory alive and leads them on a gradual counterattack."

Looking at the various information and game habit summaries of Ssumday's summer games in his hand, Yuan Shen tapped the table lightly with his fingers bent.

Ssumday is definitely the strongest top laner he has ever encountered since the World Championship.

Compared to Smeb, Ssumday is definitely more difficult to deal with.

If Karsa doesn't come up, he has a chance to break through alone, but his development speed will definitely be much slower than against Smeb...

"It's the same no matter who we meet. It's just better to play against SKT later. I'm not ready yet."

"No problem, just give it your all."

NL and Snake no longer matter.

With Yuan Shen around, they are fearless against anyone!

"We can change our goal now. I think we can compete for the championship in this group."

Yuan Shen shrugged. KT and FNC are most likely the opponents they will face in the quarterfinals and semifinals.

Both Ssumday and Huni are actually good opponents.

Especially Huni, he really used all his strength when fighting, and his performance was quite good.

However, his performance against Ziv seemed a bit disappointing, not like that of a master.

Hard to say.

For the first time, Yuan Shen felt that he couldn't see through Huni.

This guy showed off all kinds of skills against the weakling, and his operation was so gorgeous that even he was amazed.

But against slightly stronger opponents, he was a bit mediocre. I don't know if he was hiding his weakness or what...

"Champions!! Don't worry, Yuan, we are the best in the world!"

Karsa patted his chest confidently.

"I think any of the top eight teams with a jungler named Yuan as their top laner can say the same."

Maple kept killing without mercy, and Karsa couldn't help but feel angry.

"Before, Riot Games said Yuan was the sixth-best top laner in the world. Now everyone is dumbfounded, right?"

Sheshe was a little indignant.

Flash Wolves were ranked tenth, but advanced as the top team in their group.

Yuan Shen was ranked sixth in the world, but he beat Smeb, who was ranked fourth, so badly that his face was probably swollen from being hit by his fists.

"That's old news. The latest news is that we're ranked third among the teams, behind SKT and LGD. As for Yuan..."

NL flipped through his phone, looked up, and slowly said under the hopeful gazes of the Flash Wolves, "World No. 1."

"Great!!!"

"It's forbidden!"

"It seems Riot Games isn't completely blind after all!"

Zhou Luxi looked at Yuan Shen cheerfully. Even when TPA won the championship, Riot had never given the title of world's best top laner to any player from the LMS region.

Now it seems that Yuan Shen's performance not only conquered the audience and commentators, but also won the attention of the players.

After all, everyone has witnessed Yuan Shen's dominant performance in the group stage, which is absolutely unique.

The dominance displayed is enough to make everyone realize how strong Flash Wolves is this year.

Version blessing, tactical core.

The time, the place and the people were all right. Except for the advantage of playing at home, we had the other two!
"Get some rest tonight, and we'll leave for London tomorrow. We mustn't take KT lightly. We might even have to test our ultimate against them."

Zhou Luxi became serious.

At this point in the World Championship, they still have three unused ultimates.

Each one has the potential to dominate the victory of a game.

Of course, it is common for big moves to fail, and the strength of opponents in training matches cannot be compared with those in the main competition.

But in short, it’s better to be prepared.

……

"BO1 is too random. Flash Wolves' strength should not be overestimated."

Looking at Hirai who looked worried, Ssumday comforted him.

"Smeb's individual strength is still a little lacking, and it's normal for him to be beaten in the lane. If it were me, I wouldn't be so miserable. Believe me, I will win."

"Flash Wolf just had better luck."

Nagne also comforted.

There is randomness in BO1.

In the early stages, a ward position, a fight for a buff, or even a small mistake may affect the situation of the game. It is not surprising that a team with stronger hardware strength loses to a weaker team if it cannot adjust its status in time.

In their opinion, the Flash Wolves team is a mess except for Yuan Shen who is strong enough, the other positions are a mess.

If Smeb hadn't been so bad and couldn't handle the pressure, the mid and bottom lanes would have been almost destroyed by KOO.

"BO5 is different. They won't be so lucky."

Arrow is not worried about his performance in the quarterfinals.

In their opinion, Flash Wolves is also the easier team to beat among the teams that advanced as the first in the group.

Tactical reserves, depth of hero pool, mentality for the competition, bench depth, concentration, physical strength... A team's strength and foundation will undoubtedly be revealed in the BO5.

"We will expose Flash Wolf's true form!"

……

On October 10, the Flash Wolves boarded a plane to London, England.

The semi-finals will be held from October 10th to 15th at Wembley Arena in London, England.

It has to be said that Riot Games attaches great importance to the organization of this World Championship.

The group stage will be held in Paris, the quarterfinals in London, the semifinals at Brussels Expo in Belgium, and the final at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany.

European tour.

Let the whole of Europe feel the atmosphere of LOL e-sports, feel the charm of this game, and spread the influence of the game.

Although traveling at public expense is great, flying around is still a bit physically demanding for the athletes.

If the body is not acclimatized, it will affect the performance of the players.

But for Flash Wolves, the problem is not big.

Zhou Luxi has experience participating in the S3 World Championship, and this time he also brought a nutritionist and a doctor with the team.

On the other side of the world, a meeting was also being held at Riot Games headquarters.

"The star-making plan for this World Championship has almost decided on the candidates," said Tryndamere.

Tryndamere is one of the founders of Riot Games, and the Barbarian King in the game is named after him.

When League of Legends was first released, he had a girlfriend named Katarina. Unfortunately, Katarina abandoned him shortly after League of Legends was released.

It is obvious that Katarina hurt him badly, otherwise Katarina would not appear as the target of beating every time a new hero introduction video is released.

"A star player."

Ryze, who was also the boss, nodded and said, "Based on the performance in the group stage, several candidates have been selected. Everyone, please look at the screen."

As soon as he finished speaking, a VCR appeared on the projection screen.

This VCR captures the wonderful performances of several players in the competition.
