We are tired of winning championships, and we still need youth training?

Chapter 132 Damn it, Xu Xiu, what's with all that imagination?

"So...you mean there are more events coming up?"

Inside the IG club.

Xu Xinghe sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, touching his chin.

"There's nothing we can do, Xinghe. It was designated by the LPL officials, and I heard they received an invitation from Riot Games."

Su Xiaolu stood by with a forced smile, her attitude extremely cautious.

As a loyal henchman of Young Master Wang, he had handled some of the affairs.

It is obvious that Xu Xinghe is no longer an ordinary player; he wields an absurdly high level of influence within IG.

To put it bluntly.

If Xu Xinghe tells him to get lost, Young Master Wang won't protect him either.

"is it?"

Xu Xinghe recalled the message he had just received, and his eyes flickered.

The thing Su Xiaoluo told him was none other than this year's All-Star Game.

All-Star Game.

A rather unique event.

According to Baidu Baike, the League of Legends All-star Event (ASE) is a major international esports tournament for League of Legends, organized by Riot Games since 2013.

The participating players are all star players selected by audiences in each region. In addition to the main competition of the All-Star team, there are also entertainment modes such as Clone Battle, Infinite Firepower, Two-Player Co-op, and Solo Battle.

The League of Legends All-Star event, along with the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational and the League of Legends World Championship, are known as the three major global tournaments of League of Legends.

The specifications sound pretty high?
Actually it is not.

Because apart from the previous All-Star Games, subsequent All-Star Games have not been global events, but rather regional ones.

Previously, all five major regions would participate in the All-Star event, but now it's basically each region playing their own game.

but……

This time seems different.

Riot Games intends to revive the Global All-Star event, so it has sent invitations to top teams in various regions.

Moreover, they specifically requested that each competition region bring along some talented newcomers or promising rising stars who have not yet debuted.

The emphasis revealed in the text left Xu Xinghe somewhat puzzled.

Because in the original simulation, the fist had never made such a move.

The event was held in Shanghai, which saved us the trouble of traveling long distances.

Xu Xinghe was naturally invited to this year's All-Star Game.

The list of LPL All-Stars for this year's competition was laid out in front of him.

Coach: Himeboshi

Assistant Coach: HOMME

【TOP：TheShy】

【TOP：BIN】

【JUNGLE: Galaxy】

【JUNGLE: Jiejie】

【MID: Xiaohu】

【MID: Knight】

[ADC: Uzi]

【ADC: Gala】

【SUP: Crisp】

【SUP: ON】

Five top-tier active professional players and five promising young talents.

In addition, there's EDG's head coach Ji Xing [Abu] and head coach Hongmi, who just left WE.

This lineup can be described as incredibly luxurious.

Xu Xinghe knows most of the five current players.

Of course, apart from teammates TheShy and Uzi, the others he knows are just nodding acquaintances.

Xu Xinghe was quite surprised by the five talented newcomers.

Because many of these newcomers will become famous later on.

Or rather... they are all very famous.

Bin, the top laner, is known as the "Li Hongzhang of esports," the first contract signing coach in the LPL, a famous goldfish, and the person who is invincible for 363 out of 365 days a year.

There are two days left: one is the MSI finals and the other is the World Championship finals.

However, this was just a joke.

Bin is indeed quite strong.

So what if we can't beat Zeus?

If others can't even beat Bin, how can we expect them to fight Zeus?

He's just another unlucky guy like Mingkai.

He has to uphold the reputation of the LPL, but he doesn't have the ability.

It's really awkward, I'm stuck here.

Jungle Jiejie.

A man who speaks like a domineering CEO.

Jie Jie's quotes are popular all over the country.

When I was tormenting you, you could have left. Why didn't you resist on the first day I trampled on your feelings? I think you seemed to enjoy it.

What does it mean to stop loving someone? Well, that's what I mean.

He's practically a walking domineering CEO; Tianliang Wangpo's aura is truly outstanding, enough to make Xu Xinghe's toes curl up tightly.

—It was incredibly awkward.

However, in the simulation, Jiejie only did this one thing that was hard to evaluate; otherwise, she was quite normal.

Especially after each simulation reached S13, Jiejie's professional career became extremely frustrating, and his nickname changed from "Young Master Jie" to "Lao Jie".

Xu Xinghe was also quite curious about this player who had won the S11 championship in the simulation.

That's EDG's jungler position.

As we all know, there are two positions in the LPL that are the hardest to get promoted to.

RNG's AD carry, EDG's jungler.

RNG needs no introduction; not just anyone can take over Uzi's position.

Forcibly supporting someone without real ability can only lead to a hasty and unsuccessful endeavor.

For example, Able, the famous "A-walking monster" from Season 7.

EDG's jungler is more troublesome than RNG's AD carry.

Every rookie jungler who was once highly regarded by EDG was given the title of "Crown Prince".

After all, everyone knows that EDG was originally founded by Mingkai and Abu.

How many princes have there been by now?

There are three in total.

Jiejie is the Third Prince, and the only one who successfully ascended to the throne.

He just finished the Nest tournament this year and was promoted to EDG's first team.

Because of his outstanding performance in scrims, he was recommended by EDG for this All-Star event.

After the selection process, he was successfully included in this list.

She is also the youngest among the newcomers, only 18 years old this year.

Apart from Xu Xinghe, basically no one is younger than him.

Mid laner Knight.

Nicknamed Golden Left Hand, Salesman, Coward, Childhood Sweetheart.

Each of these nicknames has a story behind it.

The nickname "Golden Left Hand" comes from the fact that he is left-handed and has exceptional individual skills when playing video games.

There are many talented players in the LPL, but there are very few who, despite repeatedly failing to achieve results, are still considered promising by their clubs and coaches.

Left Hand is such a player.

Many people think he's a CJB, but even a CJB needs to have something to brag about, otherwise he's not even a JB.

How talented is he?

He can yawn while swimming like a dragon in a professional match.

Even Faker or the top mid laners in LCK have a headache when they encounter Knight in ranked games.

His personal abilities are simply too strong.

However, Zuo Shou's professional career was not very stable; he was once sidelined.

Perhaps it was that experience of being sidelined that made him silent and hesitant, and caused him to lose the courage to fight desperately in many situations.

Strictly speaking, he's not really a newcomer anymore.

He is now the star player of TOP team, which is the predecessor of TES.

Unfortunately, the LPL currently lacks a mid-lane prodigy of suitable age, so they have no choice but to let Knight step up.

After all, he is still quite young.

Yes, LPL doesn't have it.

The most common roles in LPL are jungler and AD carry.

Mid, top, and support players are all severely lacking in personnel.

Even someone like Baolan is a top-tier support, so what hope can we have for LPL supports?

Among them, mid-laners are the most in demand.

To date, only a handful of mid-laners in the LPL have become truly famous.

The truly leading domestic mid-laner in the strictest sense is actually Xiaohu, who is still with RNG.

This illustrates the extent of the talent shortage. Mid laners like Angle have already debuted, but can they live up to the reputation and prestige of the LPL?
Obviously not.

Therefore, the LPL officials had no choice but to turn to Left Hand.

After the selection process, Zuo Shou lived up to the official expectations and successfully secured a spot.

ADC, Gala.

LPL legend who caught eight players, a three-time quarterfinalist, the creator of the famous meme "This Flying Makes Me Laugh", and Mark's rumored boyfriend.

Gala just joined the LPL this year and is currently playing the bot lane for DMO.

But his talent is undeniable, so getting the bottom lane spot wasn't surprising to Xu Xinghe.

Huanfeng is quite strong now, but Gala is clearly more formidable.

He can now be said to be on the verge of becoming the head of DMO.

In the next few years, without Xu Xinghe's interference, he would have become RNG's star player and won several MSI titles.

But his playing style has never changed.

The amount of meat consumed determines the amount of damage dealt.

It's top-notch, but it's always just a little bit short of being the best.

Ultimately, his laning skills didn't reach the top level.

He couldn't even dominate the scene like Imp or Uzi in their prime, let alone rule the region like Jackeylove or ELK in their prime.

Even at his most famous, GALA wasn't known for his laning phase, but for his team fights.

This is also the most regrettable aspect of him.

As for the remaining auxiliary ON...

This guy is definitely a heavyweight.

It's no exaggeration to say that this B is an enhanced version of Uzi in the support role.

Don't get me wrong, what's being strengthened isn't strength, but rather temper.

Many people think there's something wrong with Bin because Bin kicked ON.

Actually, it was a real misjudgment to blame Bin for the surgery.

He's just asking for it.

Losing composure in crucial moments is a major taboo for professional players, but ON will never learn it.

The neighboring school is Keria, also known as K-Tech.

After losing S12, they also turned over a new leaf.

What about ON?
Will you change your ways?

Absolutely not.

He never thinks it's his fault when he loses a game; he only thinks he was just not in good form that day.

Perhaps I have genuinely cried because of failure, but I forgot about it in the blink of an eye.

Everyone says Bin has a poor memory, like a goldfish in esports, forgetting everything as soon as he wakes up.

But ON's memory is not as good as Bin's.

"This is really interesting."

Xu Xinghe looked at the list in his hand and became interested.

With just these nine people participating, anyone who isn't interested in this All-Star game would be a genius.

LPL is really awesome, they really know how to pick.

"By the way, the LCK teams should have been selected by now, right?"

He suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Su Xiaoluo.

"Yes, yes, the list is here."

Su Xiaoluo looked delighted.

The fact that Xu Xinghe is willing to get involved at least shows that he is interested and should not refuse.

He took out his phone, pulled up the list, and showed it to Xu Xinghe.

Coach: kkoma

Assistant Coach: mafa

【TOP: Khan】

【TOP：Nuguri】

【JUNGLE: Canyon】

【JUNGLE: Oner】

【MID: Faker】

【MID: Chovy】

【ADC: Deft】

【ADC: Gumayusi】

[SUP: Gorilla]

【SUP: lehends】

Xu Xinghe narrowed his eyes, a hint of pleasure in his voice:
"...What a coincidence."

There are quite a few acquaintances here.

But think about it.

The youth training system in the LCK is already very well-developed.

Talented players who go to youth training programs are like iron spikes in a bag; they can easily stand out.

However, upon closer inspection, it seems there are quite a few ill-fated relationships involved.

Let's not even talk about Canyon and Jiejie.

The middle unit, left and right hands, is still entangled in a complicated situation.

The bot lane's big egg AD and Samsung's new generation of soul support will become the face of LCK players in the future.

It has to be said that Xu Xinghe's interest is growing stronger.

However, Xu Xinghe was genuinely surprised that Canyon came to the All-Star game.

It's not that I'm not qualified.

Although Canyon didn't debut early, he is now one of the top junglers in the LCK, and he is fully qualified and capable.

Logically speaking, that guy who's like a憨厚熊 (honest and simple bear) when he's not playing shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing.

Xu Xinghe was very curious.

He acted on his impulses, and after agreeing to Su Xiaoluo's request, he immediately opened his phone and sent a message to Canyon.

Xu Xinghe: Are you there?

The other side replied very quickly.

Canyon:?
Canyon: Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will remain a part of the canyon for the next few decades.
Xu Xinghe laughed; BYD is quite humorous.

Xu Xinghe: You're going to the All-Star Game too?
Canyon: I can't go?
Xu Xinghe: I'm just curious, you don't seem like the type of person who would participate in this kind of activity.
Canyon: ? You're really going all in? You don't think you know me that well, do you?^^
Canyon: The official told me you would go, so I thought about it and decided to go too.
Canyon: Last time I lost to you because I didn't get enough rest that day, this time I'll make sure you never forget that defeat.
Xu Xinghe clicked his tongue in displeasure.

The All-Stars of the Trough, the Official of the Trough.

That's really damn insidious.

He had just told Su Xiaoluo that he would be going, but Canyon said that the LCK officials had already told him he would be going beforehand.

Isn't this a classic case of getting something for nothing?

Canyon: Aren't you going?

Clearly, Canyon realized what was happening after seeing Xu Xinghe's message.

Xu Xinghe: Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen someone so eager to be tortured.

Xu Xinghe: Are you a masochist?
After a long time, no message came from the other side, which puzzled Xu Xinghe.

But he didn't care and put down his phone to play ranked games to kill time.

Ten minutes ago, at the DWG base.

Xu Xiu, carrying fried chicken in one hand and a bottle of soda in the other, strolled leisurely into the lounge.

After the holiday started, there weren't so many rules, so he dared to bring food to the lounge to eat.

To his surprise, Canyon didn't go home either.

Xu Xiu glanced down at the fragrant fried chicken in her hand, and after careful consideration, reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​eating it all by herself, and walked towards Canyon, who was chatting with his head down on the sofa.

He walked up behind Canyon, who was wearing headphones and listening to music, and was just about to speak when he saw the ID that caught his attention:

Galaxy
—That savior of IG.

Just then, a message came from the other side.

Canyon tapped the message and clicked "Translate".

[Galaxy: Do you want to play M?]

Xu Xiu: ...

Xu Xiu: ?
Xu Xiu: !
What happened?!

Xu Xiu's expression twisted.

Difficult, could it be said...

Is this what a "good friend" is?

Heo Soo is, after all, a proper Korean, and he's read quite a few comics.

He also understands things like M.

But it was precisely because he understood that Xu Xiucai was so deeply moved.

Stir, what are you stirring?

Caw! I don't want to see!
Canyon took off his headphones and glanced back.

Xu Xiu smiled sweetly: "I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving now."

Canyon's mouth twitched.

He knew that Xu Xiu had probably misunderstood something.

Damn it, Xu Xiu, what's with all that imagination?!
