League of Legends: Arrow of Champions

Chapter 746 [767] Suppression of Japanese

In mid-September, after Jiang Ya and Lin Yi returned to Yicheng, Jiang Qianyu also went to North America two days later. Since then, Lin Xuan has hardly been out of the base, and basically spends every day in training and review.

Ever since Jiang Yingxue overheard the "chat" after drinking that night, Mu Wanli has become extremely silent, and he didn't even talk much during the replay.

Jiang Yingxue also seemed to have changed a little bit, this change was very subtle, and her usual words were still rare, but occasionally, when Lin Xuan and the others chatted and joked, although she still never participated, she seemed to be listening, even on weekdays Now, her expression seems to be no longer as cold as before.

Even when the club was filming the promotional video for the global finals, she had to record interviews with some team members, but she accepted it, which surprised the filming team.

The play-in competition starts on October [-]st, but the group stage will start on the [-]th, so Team Fish and Dragons can go to Jiangcheng later, but Wang Yingfeng offered to go to Jiangcheng for training earlier, Zhang San and Ren Fan naturally have no objections .

Although the Yulong team lost to TL again in the summer finals, but entering the World Championship, especially the World Championship that is still held at their own doorstep, the three LPL teams naturally need one team. I hope that the three LPL teams can go to Jiangcheng earlier to conduct closed training together.

This is based on the experience of the intercontinental competition, and it also wants to continue the cooperative spirit of the intercontinental competition. However, after the TL team won the summer competition, the brand popularity became popular again. It is probably because some merchants offer relatively high prices. The TL club is not like SKY. Like Yulong, SKY and Yulong were planning to go to Jiangcheng for training ahead of time, which conflicted with a business event that TL had arranged long ago, so they didn't go to Jiangcheng with them.

There is no way to force this matter. NO.19, SKY and Yulong arrived in Jiangcheng, and then stayed in the hotel arranged by the government, and began closed training.

Professional players have more or less bad habits in their lives. In order to be able to meet the global finals in the best condition, the first thing the players have to do after arriving in Jiangcheng is to adjust their physical condition, work and rest regularly, eat regularly, One hour of yoga every day, restricting electronic products, etc., is like the treatment of a college entrance examination.

In addition to them, there were also some teams from other divisions who came to Jiangcheng earlier, and they were basically teams from other divisions participating in the play-in competition to adapt to the eating environment in advance, or to overcome jet lag.

Most of these teams are from the wild card competition area, and their levels are uneven. Most of them have expressed their hope to play a training match with them. After discussing with them, Zhang San, Ren Fan, and Wang Yingfeng were not very happy, but in line with the sense of responsibility of the host, they proposed training. The several teams invited by Sai played two or three rounds. After the advice was over, if there were any ignorant ones, they politely declined.

On the 23rd, the lottery ceremony for the global finals was held in Shanghai. Lin Xuan and the others gathered together to watch the lottery process.

The first was the draw for the qualifying round. SKY was assigned to Group D. The two teams in the same group were from Japan and Turkey. After the draw, Bubbles teased them: "The opportunity to fight against Japan has come."

Lin Xuan corrected angrily: "To fight against your sister's day, this is called suppressing the Japanese!"

A group of people laughed, but no one felt that this term was inappropriate. In terms of the strength of the two teams, "suppression" was undoubtedly much more appropriate than "resistance".

Due to some historical reasons, most LPL viewers are very concerned about the JRG team from Japan. After the results of SKY and JRG being assigned to the same group came out, there was a small upsurge of discussion and ridicule on the Internet. If SKY loses to Little Japan, so-and-so" words.

Naturally, few people think that SKY will lose to them, so this kind of discussion is still mostly ridicule and expectation.

On the second day after the lottery, Fang Kai responded to many "anti-Japanese" jokes on the bullet screen during the live broadcast of "Talking about the grouping of the global finals", and spread the ridicule in a very small range through the group chat of insiders. The correction was spoken out.

"My brother-in-law said that this is called suppressing the Japanese."

Before Lin Xuan entered the professional arena, Fang Kai had used him to hype him up, and later on he had been too hot, even hostile and targeted, but after winning the LPL, MSI and Intercontinental Championships, seeing the revival of SKY and the rise of Lin Xuan are inseparable Block it, Fang Kai, who is used to judging the situation, will naturally not be stupid enough to oppose him.

When he mentioned this during the live broadcast, he might have the idea of ​​rubbing the heat, but there is really no malice.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that this sentence caused an uproar very quickly, and it was posted on the hot search that night, and then there were comments on the Internet against Lin Xuan, saying that he insulted the Japanese team and had no professional ethics. It should not be hostile to international friends, or even affect the relationship between the two countries.

Not to mention fans of Lin Xuan or SKY, even the neutral audience, even those who were originally unhappy with Lin Xuan, couldn't bear these remarks. Instead, because of the refutation and scolding of many people, the popularity of the "suppressing the Japanese" incident quickly heated up, and even the popularity of a certain star's scandal was suppressed.

Xiao Nizi has just started school, and there are many things to do. Lin Xuan chatted with her and didn't mention it, but Nishang didn't know how to chat with her. When he mentioned this matter, Xiao Nizi ate an extra bowl of rice in anger, I went to Weibo and clicked the report for a long time.

Fang Kai added Lin Xuan's WeChat apology for this matter, Lin Xuan didn't care about it, and she didn't even take it seriously when the trolls attacked her online, but when I looked through some comments on the Internet, I saw some The real users were also scolding him, which made him somewhat depressed.

On the 26th, the LPL officially announced the punishment for Lin Xuan on the grounds that he "made inappropriate remarks" and fined him 2000 yuan.

The fine was paid by the club, and there was no need for Lin Xuan, who was lying on the ground, to pay. Then as the finalists approached, this little disturbance basically subsided, but more people began to look forward to the match between SKY and JRG.

As for the possibility of SKY overturning, it basically does not exist in everyone's consideration.

I don't know if it was affected by the "suppressing Japanese" incident, but the JRG team has never invited SKY for a training match. Naturally, it is impossible for SKY to take the initiative to find them and arrange their own training step by step every day.

SKY's recent training games are not in a good state, but fortunately, the overall trend is on the rise, and the bot lane combination has returned to the peak. When it stabilized, it was Mu Wanli who felt strange.

Jiang Yingxue didn't change her attitude towards Mu Wanli because she heard their conversation that night. The degree of indifference before and the degree of indifference now seems to have given Mu Wanli a certain amount of "psychological comfort". Zhang Heng, Liu Handong and the others also felt that Jiang Yingxue probably didn't hear their chat.

After repeated "reviews" by several people, the distance from the yoga room to the outside became farther and farther, and the sound insulation effect became better and better. Naturally, the possibility of Jiang Yingxue being able to hear their conversation became less and less. As for her There are many reasons for turning on the lights. I have to find something. I heard someone talking outside the yoga room after dancing... In short, after these days of observation, everyone agrees that Jiang Yingxue has nothing important. hear.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, in short, no one was overthrown by Jiang Yingxue himself, and it is infinitely close to the truth.

Lin Xuan was actually a little bit guilty, because after some careful consideration, he found that the possibility that Jiang Yingxue didn't hear those words was quite high. Even though the conversation with her the next day was a little weird, but looking back, it seemed that it was still possible. There was really nothing related to what he said that night.

It was impossible for him to mention Su Hui's matter to Zhang Heng, Liu Handong and the others. That night, he just confessed his feelings to her behind Xiao Nizi's back.

Because of the training camp, everyone's usual schedule is similar, and the space is more limited. On the contrary, he rarely has the opportunity to be alone with Jiang Yingxue, and there is no way to chat about these things without leaving traces. As the game approaches, he can't care about these things.

The possibility of confessing in advance was artificially eliminated by everyone, but Mu Wanli did not become cheerful again because of this. He still rarely took the initiative to speak on weekdays, and seemed to be preoccupied. Zhang Sanrenfan and the others were a little worried for a while, but Mu Wanli The game state of Wanli was not affected by this, but showed a surprising state of continuous heating up.

Judging from the training data since the training camp, from the time he came to Jiangcheng for a closed training camp to the last training game before the finalists, his state and performance have always maintained an upward trend.

This was directly reflected in the interviews with players from other divisions before the game.

Li Yifan said in an interview: "This year's LPL teams are very strong."

BGM mid laner Next: "I'm very worried about the top laner. Our family's top laner mentality has been blown up, and so is the bottom laner. So if I want to win, I can only rely on myself."

The coach of the third-seeded XNT team in the LMS Division: "Our grouping is very good, and we have a chance to enter the group stage. We have played training matches with SKY, and they are willing to play against us, but we do not want to play against them. It is a blow to the players' confidence. big."

Bubble: "SKY has been in a good state recently. I believe they can advance to the group stage. Ah Li is very strong recently."

The jungler of the LCK No. [-] seed VCR team: "Last year we won the LCK championship, but our performance in the World Championship was not very good. This year we are the LCK champion again. We hope that we can not repeat the mistakes of last year. Our goal is only to win the championship, but the opponents They are quite strong, especially Crane and SKY."

M16, the No. [-] seed in the EU Division: "To be honest, I can't understand why SKY is the No. [-] seed. I can't believe that such a team doesn't even qualify for the playoffs in the LPL! Of course they are very strong, but We still have the confidence to beat any team, including them...if our top laner is not broken by then."

……

Most of the players from other regions are coming to China for the first time, so there is a sense of novelty, but the most important thing is to prepare for the competition. At most, they can go out for a meal in their free time, and they don’t even think about playing.

The snacks in Jiangcheng are very famous, but in fact, the tastes of different countries and regions are very different. In most cases, the famous snacks that the local area is proud of may not taste so good. , as long as it is Chinese, foreigners will be amazed and admired after tasting it, which is even more crooked.

Naturally, there must be people who really like it, but in more cases, the praise is more out of etiquette. I am used to the taste since I was a child, so it is not so easy to change and adapt.

In addition, many contestants don't know whether they know that Chinese people love face and flattery, or they simply want to learn Chinese. No matter how heavy the accent is or how bad the speech is, they always have to learn a sentence of Chinese to say hello and introduce themselves. Therefore, before the start of the competition, As the warm-up videos of various teams were released, most of the Internet showed a peaceful and lively atmosphere.

Under such circumstances, on the afternoon of the National Day, the play-in match officially kicked off, with SKY facing the Japanese division champion JRG in the opening match.
