Esports managers start with relegation

CHAPTER 256 - WATCH
S8, MSI, KG won the championship again.

What is different from usual is that the LPL audience seems to be used to KG's invincibility, and what they are talking about is not the realization of dreams, but the discussion of MSI winning the championship and various activities launched by Tenda Group.

And most importantly, less than a week after the MSI game, the champion skin of S7 was also launched for sale.

Previous champion skins usually come out in April, but this year's is unusually late.

Everyone from the KG generation gathered together again, even Jin Gong from IG came to celebrate.

369, Weapon Master Jax.

Letme, Aoun, the Flame of the Mountain Hidden.

Clearlove, Evelynn the Embrace of Pain.

Faker, LeBlanc, the sorcerer.

Uzi, Vayne, the night hunter.

Ming, the fallen angel Morgana.

Molo, Twilight Protoss Zoe.

There are seven skins, all of which are priced at 79. If the player's signature is added, the price is 99. A set of gift packs costs 648, which is in line with the audience's expectations.

The happiest thing is that in order to commemorate the first LPL championship, Riot specially made a jewelry skin for Lu Tian.

Like an exquisite pagoda's jewelry skin, it still has Lu Tian's pair of smart eyes, which will flash when inserted, which surprised many players who saw it for the first time.

"Hahaha, Brother Li, I haven't seen you for so long, now you must be unable to beat me!"

369 rushed in, and when he saw Faker, he floated up, ran over and touched Faker's shoulder.

"Well, I don't think you can do this either. Shouldn't you be like Brother Bing when you serve in the military? Why don't you even have any chest muscles."

En Jing smiled and said, "It's not like he's going to be a soldier, he's just like a community worker. It takes two years, and he can still have personal time at ordinary times."

"Ah... Doesn't that mean that Brother Li hasn't given up training either?"

As soon as 369 heard it, he immediately froze. He knew Faker's self-discipline. Even if no one supervised him, as long as he had time, he would firmly keep training.

He even sometimes doubts that even if Faker doesn't play professionally for three or four years, he can still maintain the world's top mid laner level.

"Wait to practice?"

Faker put down the Coke in his hand, raised his eyebrows, looked at 369, and asked with interest.

"No, I don't want to be abused... How about it! Let's play a friendly match between the first team and the second team."

369 looked at the older brother with a smile, and said, "I haven't played well with the older brother yet!"

Speaking of which, 369 and Gogoing also played against each other twice in the spring split. TES was eliminated before they met KG in the playoffs.

"Okay, I want to see, old thief, what skills do you have, Xiao Ming and you will look at me every day and sigh..."

Uzi is also a little upset, since Xiao Ming and the old thief started a duo trip on the top of the canyon, he rarely played ranked with him.

Although he does not lack masters to help him rank together, for example, Lian, Meikong, Frog, Pupu and many others have a very good relationship with him.

However, after all, he and Shi Senming are partners. If they don't get in touch with each other often, there will still be some differences after a long time, and the tacit understanding will decline.

The old thief slowly fished out the seafood in the pot, and said with a smile: "As far as your style of play is constantly smashing the opponent, what kind of support can withstand it? You need to learn more from me..."

"Come on, I can't hold you back even if you charge up." Meiko on the side couldn't help breaking the stage, and everyone laughed.

Back at the base, looking at the familiar layout, everyone was a little moved.

Soon, the battle representing the first generation of KG and the second generation of KG will start, while Rookie, Theshy, Jin Gong, Letme and others are watching the battle.

It has to be said that more than half of the top players in the entire LPL are gathered in KG at this moment. Compared with MDD's YN team, it seems that KG is the real e-sports Whampoa Military Academy.

But strictly speaking, KG with a complete youth training system will not lag behind too much in player training and newcomer training. In the past, the best players in LPL in this regard were the EW and GED teams. To add another KG team.

Soon, the direct battle between the two teams will begin. Without any BP, each player will get their own best hero, even if the entire lineup looks weird.

Doinb did not play, but he would not let go of such a good opportunity, and directly started to watch the live broadcast, pulling Rookie and Theshy together to pretend to be commentators, and let Jin Gong, Letme and others pretend to be spectators. As spectators, there was also Xiao Yu , Enjing, Tang Xiaoyou and the girls, as well as their coach, Lu Tian.

Seeing the high-spirited looks of the players, Lu Tian was also very pleased, and pulled Ye Qi aside to watch the game with great interest.

He knew that Faker had occupied the number one position in Hanbok for three full months, and the level of the Demon King, who had been training hard, hadn't dropped too much.

The final lineup of the two sides is:
"KG Generation Blue Fang
Top Order 369: Jax
Jungle Clearlove: Evelyn
Mid laner Faker: LeBlanc
Shooter Uzi: Vayne

Supporting name: Morgana
KG second generation red square

Top laner Gogoing: Renekton
Jungle MLXG: Jarvan IV

Mid laner GODV: Diana
Shooter SMLZ: Kai'Sa

Support Meiko: Janna. "

Compared with the lineup of the second generation of KG, the lineup of the first generation of KG is much weirder, but when they saw the loading screen, everyone else suddenly realized.

That whole set of skins full of ink style, isn't it KG's winning lineup!

The popularity of the Doinb live broadcast room has also risen visible to the naked eye, and many viewers are passing it on to each other, almost crazy.

Not to mention the popularity of the two generations of KG, and KG just won the MSI championship. Faker's return alone is enough to make the LPL audience happy like a new year.

However, Faker’s return to the LPL they imagined did not come true. After all, military service is not something he can decide. If he is an LCK player, it’s okay to say, and Korean players who play professionally in the LPL have to face this problem.

The game lasted for a full 37 minutes, and in the end it was the second generation of KG who was even better and won the game.

Although there are many reasons, one is that the lineup of KG's first generation is not reasonable, and the other is that they have been separated for nearly half a year, and the degree of running-in has dropped significantly.

But the second-generation KG won't be so easy. It's okay to say that Wei Shen has really experienced the horror of a demon king.

In S7, Wei Shen and Faker didn't feel anything in the line, but after winning the championship in S7, Faker's attributes have made a qualitative leap.

"Tips: SSR126
Consciousness: SSR128
Development: SSR128
Teamfight: SSR127
React: SSR128
Support: SSR126
Overall Rating: SSR"

Such stats are daunting enough, and even though Wei Shen has a full attribute +3 buff when facing SSR players, he still completely lost to Faker's enchantress in the lane.

Without him, just look at Eun Jing as the audience and you will know why...

Everyone on IG also participated in the next event. The peak duel between Theshy and 369, and the game between Rookie and Faker all attracted many viewers.

Today's Rookie is also becoming more and more mature. With the sense of responsibility and responsibility as the captain of IG, Lu Tian is looking forward to the full body of Song Yijin, who will be a god-level mid laner that is not inferior to Faker at all.

The civil war went on for three full rounds, everyone on the field played, and in the end, each person used a computer to qualify for the top of the canyon at the same time.

On that day, the players at the top of the canyon felt the fear, and some lucky players even joined the duel between nine old and new KG players.

However, soon they don't think so...

The heavy pressure of nine KG players is not something ordinary players can bear.

Just the wave of attacks like a tsunami is enough to make ordinary players suffocate and doubt their lives.

Happy times are always short, and after Faker returned to China, the offseason ended soon.

Whether it was the All-Star Game within the LPL or the Summer German Cup, KG did not participate in any of them, and used this time to make a good adjustment.

The opening match of the summer split was held directly between KG and GED. The two kings of the spring split faced each other again. All the audience felt that it would be a battle between dragons and tigers, and their expectations were full.

But the result of the game made everyone unbelievable. It took only one hour for KG to end the game.

2:0…

The average running time is just under 24 minutes!

The completely one-sided result of the match made everyone dumbfounded, and Ming Kai's eyes widened in astonishment.

He doesn't know what happened to KG, but he knows that the dynasty belonging to KG's second generation is coming!

In the intercontinental competition, KG, GED, JD.com and IG played on behalf of the LPL. When facing the LCK coalition of KZ, KT, T1 and SSG, the entire LPL broke out with shocking strength.

They won all the group matches and swept the LCK and LMS 8-0. Both KG and JD.com played their own characteristics and proved themselves in front of audiences all over the world.

In the semi-finals, LCK defeated LMS with a score of 3:1, but their mood was desperate. Facing LPL, they had no chance of winning at all.

The result of the game was just as they expected, 3:0. Before KG made his final shot, the other three teams won the LCK.

In the first game, GED played against SSG, and Ming Kai played against Zhang Zhan. This duel between the new and old junglers shocked everyone. Whether it was vision, jungle rhythm or anti-squatting Gank, Zhang Zan was Ming. Kai suppressed desperately, without even the slightest chance to turn around.

Lu Tian watched and even laughed out loud, Ming Kai in the final was still so unbelievable and strong.

In the second game, JD.com played against T1, and Xishan, who was already at the end of his career, could no longer withstand the crazy invasion of the new generation of junglers. After selecting Zac, he was still turned upside down by Kanav's leopard female general.

Although Fate in the middle lane strongly suppressed Toothpaste as always, and Duke in the top lane also firmly suppressed Zoom's development, the overall rhythm of the game was still firmly controlled by Kanav.

In the final 35 minutes of the fierce battle, Boom's small cannon misjudged a wave of damage, and his ultimate move pushed away Loken who was trapped in a tight siege, but saved Loken's life. Let him make the most correct choice.

Pulling the bow, nodding the arrow, and hitting the Czar of Fate with the Q skill Wanjun with the maximum charge, completely ended the good situation of T1.

The 34-minute game was soul-stirring!

In the third game, IG faced the LCK overlord KZ.

Shimokami's confrontation was evenly divided, but Nakagami played an effect that made everyone's blood boil.

8 minutes, three single kills!

Theshy's sword girl once again made Khan feel the fear he once had. Whether it was 369's Jax, Letme's Aoun, or Cuckoo's crocodile, none of them made him feel so uncomfortable.

As fast as the wind and as fast as the fire, Theshy's sword girl even reminded him of when he first played League of Legends, and as if he was a rookie who knew nothing, being taught by a great god.

As for BDD in the middle, his hand of cards was severely restricted by Rookie's Tsar.

Countless times of big moves to break cards made BDD angry, but there was nothing he could do.

3:0, the same lore, but without the meaning of last year.

After the intercontinental competition, the selection for the Asian Games came. Whether it was 369 in the top lane, Ming Kai in the jungle, Wei Shen in the mid lane, or Xiaogou and Xiaoming in the bottom lane, they all prepared for this honor for a long time.

In addition to these five starting players, there is also Letme and EW's mid laner Xixi as a substitute.

In the selection of the other four positions except the middle lane, Lu Tian can select the world's first-class players, but Wei Shen is still a bit worse.

Fortunately, the selection and training for the Asian Games took more than half a month. After the tragic two weeks of training, Lu Tian took everyone to the beach of QHD to relax.

As for the nonsense that the media said about being inflated before the game and not training, and that the beach vacation failed the trust of the audience, Lu Tian also treated it as nonsense.

In e-sports, is there anything more unconvincing than strength?

The game was held in Jakarta. There were 13 games, and the LPL was undefeated. Even though the LCK has come up with top laner Duke, jungler Pinat, mid laner Fate, bottom laner Boom and CoreJJ's super top combination, it is still strong in the LPL. In front of the strength and perfect cooperation, they were defeated.

In the Asian Games, the LPL has won consecutive games. I thought it would be LPL, LCK, and LMS, but unexpectedly, the LMS lost to the Vietnam team.

When the LPL representative team won the Asian Games championship and returned to China, the competition for the summer split has also reached the most critical and hottest time.

Because the results of LPL are too good, Riot deliberately added a quota for LPL, but the fourth seed still needs to play in the finals.

Of course, in the eyes of the LPL audience, this is just a formality. The consecutive victories have given them unprecedented confidence. Some people even said that the bottom team in the LPL should go to the World Championships to practice and experience, to see if they can also achieve good results.

The top eight of the regular season are out, KG, IG, RYL, GED, JD, TES, EW, V5.And some of these teams got points in the Spring Split.

In the end, after a week-long game, KG played in S8 as the No. [-] seed, while RYL and GED played as the No. [-] and No. [-] seeds respectively. The No. [-] seed was IG's strong victory over the opponent and won the Last place.

The performance of the bubbling match was not very good for IG. If it weren't for Ah Shui's sudden explosion, the sluggish Theshy and Rookie would not be able to carry them into the World Championship.

Fortunately, there is still a play-in match that allows them to adjust in time. All four groups have LPL teams, so there is no need to worry about being grouped together.
