After the completion of the grouping, the opening ceremony ended perfectly, and the group stage will start three days later, which will also mean that this season's international league is about to officially start.
The situation of the groupings was reported back to the country amidst the attention of everyone, and it immediately caused a lot of heated discussions. Netizens made inferences about the winning percentage of the teams in each group. For a while, whether it was on the forum or Weibo, there were endless topics, messages, and comments. Zhongjun's eloquent analysis of the situation has a magnificent momentum of pointing out the country. Among all the public opinions, the most controversial is undoubtedly the attention of the seed team Black Rose.
Ever since You Jing's hand injury was exposed to the media, fans in the field who had full confidence in this year's LPP team inevitably harbored a deeper level of worry in their hearts. On the one hand, I hope that You Jing can recover from his injury as soon as possible and participate in the competition in perfect condition. On the other hand, I am worried that without You Jing, a strong pillar, the Black Rose team does not know whether it can withstand the impact of powerful opponents from all over the world.
Of course, more Black Rose fans are optimistic. After all, in the LPP league, although Zou Qiguan, who replaced You Jing, performed mediocrely, it will not become the team's Achilles' heel. After this rookie made his debut this season, he has remained above the expected level. It cannot be called everyone's expectation, nor will it be criticized. What's more, the Black Rose team also has Lin Xiao, who was rubbed this season, and this player has finally been widely accepted by everyone and is known as the "successor of the old ghost".
The same name, the same production method, and even the same unpredictable and unpredictable tactics... No matter which one, it is enough to make fans in the field start to look forward to whether this new face who has been directly named a god in a season can He really lived up to the title of this old ghost's successor, and once again let the national flag of our country rise on the stage of the international league.
Lin Xiao was abroad, so of course he didn't know the turmoil in the domestic circle at this time. After getting up early in the morning, he took Zou Qiguan and pushed him to You Jing, saying: "There are still three days, hurry up."
After the end of the LPP league, Zou Qiguan has been training with You Jing for a period of time. After all these days, his watery eyes are almost crushed by the heavy bags under the eyes, but the whole person looks He was still full of energy when he got up, and just stood in front of him, looking at You Jing very seriously, as if he had the generous consciousness to die bravely.
"Please Team You, don't ravage me mercilessly!" Zou Qiguan raised his curly hair, speaking his lines with great passion.
Devastated? You Jing raised his eyelashes: "... who taught you this?"
Zou Qiguan still replied energetically: "Return to Team You! Brother Lin taught me!"
"Cough cough cough, hurry up and start quickly." Lin Xiao lowered his head in You Jing's gaze, turned around and got into the room, "I'll help you turn on the computer!"
Zou Qiguan's gaze was always on You Jing with great respect, and before he recovered, Lin Xiao pulled him into the room, his feet were tilted and almost staggered, at this moment Lin Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something, Turning to look at him and asking: "I said switch, have you called Master?"
Zou Qiguan was a little confused, and said blankly: "What master?"
"A teacher! Of course I'm a teacher!" Lin Xiao glanced at You Jing, turned around and said earnestly, "I see that you have a good bone structure, are talented and intelligent, and are a good material for e-sports. I learned from your team You It's been so long, of course you should have a title. I said, how can you be so real, why don't you hurry up and call Master!"
Zou Qiguan was stunned for a moment when he heard it, but when he finally realized it, his eyes lit up, and he looked at You Jing with admiration and expectation, and asked timidly: "You team, can... is it okay?"
"This line..." You Jing looked deeply at Lin Xiao, "I stayed up most of the night last night, so I was reading a martial arts novel?"
Lin Xiao smiled: "The Legend of Condor Heroes vs. Water Margin 108: Laughing Forest Legend, you deserve it."
You Jing: "..."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Zou Qiguan couldn't help but dim the light in his eyes. In the entire alliance, a god-level priest like You Jing can be accepted as an apprentice, and it seems that he will be recognized as a successor. He knows that his talent is actually very ordinary, and he didn't have any thoughts at first, but After being hooked by Lin Xiao like this, it is inevitable that there is still some disappointment.
You Jing glanced back at Zou Qiguan's lost expression, after thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Call."
"Ah?" Zou Qiguan raised his head suddenly, met You Jing's calm eyes, his heart skipped a beat before he realized it, and immediately grinned the corners of his mouth in ecstasy, "Master!"
Lin Xiao looked at this harmonious scene in a good mood, leaned over and said with a smile: "Master has already called, it's time to call Master."
"Ah?" Zou Qiguan was dumbfounded again.
"It's time to train." You Jing suddenly interposed between the two of them, directly carried Zou Qiguan to the table, pointed to the computer screen and said concisely, "Warm up first, and practice for two hours."
Zou Qiguan was full of energy: "Yes, Master!"
Yo, are you shy again? Looking at You Jing's reaction, Lin Xiao only thought it was funny. With his hands behind his head, he lay lazily on the soft pillow on the bed, and looked at the backs of the two with a smile. , The feeling of quiet time.
He sniffed the tip of his nose when he came back to his senses.
Ok? It seems that something strange has been mixed in
When the international league is about to officially start, every quiet moment is especially precious. On the first day of the official start of the group stage, this ordinary day was suddenly broken.
The teams in the LPP league experienced their first defeat on the day of the first round of the group stage—the Liuyun team lost to the South Korean UG team, which was a bad start.
When the international league is about to officially start, every quiet moment is especially precious. On the first day of the official start of the group stage, this ordinary day was suddenly broken.
The teams in the LPP league had their first defeat on the day of the first round of the group stage—the Liuyun team, which played first, lost to the South Korean UG team, and it could even be called a complete defeat.
Tasting the fruit of defeat in the first game, it was undoubtedly like a basin of cold water pouring down on the face, which instantly depressed the atmosphere of the originally ambitious domestic e-sports circle.
Although as the No. 3 seed team in China, the strength of the Liuyun team is still widely recognized. What's more, in their group C, South Korea's UG team is also the No. 3 seed. Right now This kind of defeat by a large score is like a slap in the face of the Chinese people, making them suddenly realize that the strength of Korean e-sports players is so terrifying.
"The goal of our Korean team this year is to win the three semi-finals." Facing the media cameras, UG captain Han Zongren said with a smile. His tone sounded so calm and courteous, but everyone could see the unique arrogance in his expression, which was bright and dazzling.
But at this moment, even if their hearts are full of dissatisfaction, the domestic e-sports circle has no choice but to treat South Korea's arrogant arrogance with silence, because the game that just ended made them see the obvious gap between the two teams. Even if you want to argue with them, you need sufficient capital first.
North American LGG team vs European TTT team, LGG team won; Korean ACE team vs European SWW team, ACE team won; Korean UG team vs Chinese Liuyun team, UG team won; Korean MTG team vs North American NTP team, MTG team won.
On the day of the first round of competition, except for the teams in Group A, the three Korean teams played in the first round all achieved complete victories and almost occupied the entire standings. Just as Han Zongren announced to the world through the media, they have shown enough kingly aura that no one can stop them.
The Korean media was boiling, and articles praising the victory were published one after another, as if they had won the championship.
To win! Show them a win! Fans who are paying attention to the international league in China can only hear the screams of enthusiasm in their hearts in the silence.
Finally, on the third day after the end of the first round, the second round of the group stage ushered in. Among the teams in the LPP league, the Liuyun team had a bye in this round, and the other two teams ushered in the first round of this year's league. Xiu: Team Apocalypse played against North American LGG team, and Black Rose team played against Korean MTG team.
When the contestants came out, the roof of the competition venue was completely overturned by fanatical fans. The commentators from various countries broadcasted live broadcasts in their respective commentary booths for fans in their own countries. Different languages were intertwined. It seemed to instantly ignite the blood in the deepest part of the body.
On the South Korean commentary stage, the commentator Sun and the special guest Song Meiqi gave an enthusiastic explanation. As the MTG team entered the field, they introduced each player one by one. After the introduction, he said with a smile on his face: "Today's MTG The opponent is this year's Chinese champion team, the Black Rose team. It is not difficult for us to find that there are many new faces in this year's Black Rose team. I believe that we can have enough expectations for this team composed of semi-newcomers .”
His words were very well-behaved, and even his tone was quite polite, but it still made people feel that he didn't care at all. Regardless of whether they were at the scene or watching the live broadcast in front of the computer, all the Korean fans were also smiling, looking forward to watching the MTG team win another game for them and continue to refresh the standings in the new round.
At this time, the players of the Black Rose team began to step onto the stage one after another. The names and IDs of the players were displayed on the big screen in the center of the venue. One side was in Chinese and the other was in English. They were mixed together and neatly arranged.
The commentator Sun took the player information submitted by the staff next to him, flipped through it, and casually introduced the players of the Black Rose team. When his eyes fell on an ID in the form, his words suddenly stopped strangely, the commentator There was such a large blank space in the live broadcast.
But at this time, obviously no one paid attention to his gaffe.
When the words "LovelyGhost" were displayed on the big screen, the camera in the corner of the screen happened to fall on Lin Xiao's body, and only a smiling face was seen in the impact. Everyone waved, with the high-profile demeanor of a leader.
Because it is the home field, almost all the stadiums of the international league are occupied by Korean fans. With such an ID and this provocative look, after the silence in the stadium, it exploded completely.
Lovely Ghost! It's that LovelyGhost!
Although it has been a long time since the Hanbok ladder incident, and the name is gradually no longer being mentioned, once it appears in the eyes of everyone, it is still enough for everyone to remember it in minutes.
This person is the one who climbed to the top of Hanbok!
No one could have imagined that after such a long time, this name would reappear in the eyes of everyone in such a form.
The eyes of the entire Korean e-sports circle immediately gathered. If sight could kill, Lin Xiao, who was waving on the field at this moment, would have been pierced into an arrow hole long ago.
But at this time, he didn't care as if he was aloof from the matter, but when passing by Jiang Minjun, he threatened viciously: "Wait! I will play cry. you!"
Jiang Minjun frowned and stared at him: "...?"
