The LovelyGhost turmoil caused e-sports fans in China and South Korea to quarrel for a long time one after another. However, due to the approaching playoff schedule, e-sports players from both countries have gradually withdrawn from this dispute and began to devote themselves to the intense preparation rhythm. As a result, the voices from all walks of life began to gradually recede, and finally fell silent.
The atmosphere before the opening of the LPP playoffs was much weirder than in previous years due to the confrontation between China and South Korea, so that fans did not start to react until they saw similar topics appearing on the club’s official Weibo and players’ Weibo. The key The game is about to start.
However, in fact, all of this is not as calm as it seems on the surface. At least, all professional players in the league know very well that in the unknown depths, there are many undercurrents that are quietly surging with.
There are a total of eight teams shortlisted for the LPP playoffs this year, namely the Black Rose team of the Black Soul Club, the Liuyun team of the Liuguang Club, the Apocalypse team of the Tianqiong Club, the Hongye team of the Feiye Club, and the Jiutian team of the Kyushu Club. The Blades of the Blade Club, the Undead of the Reaper Club, and the Blitz of the Thunderbolt Club.
The biggest difference between the playoffs and the preseason is that it adopts a compact format of wheel battles. From the opening day, there will be four consecutive days of competition every week. In the morning and afternoon, two teams will compete in a round-robin competition. After the round-robin competition system ends, the four teams with the highest points will directly enter the semi-finals.
Such a tight schedule is undoubtedly a major test for the teams and players. Just a few days before the opening of the playoffs, the players of all teams have gathered in the imperial capital. After the lottery ceremony, the players of the eight teams, under the leadership of their respective coaches, began to devote themselves to the final stage of on-site simulated sprint practice.
That night, the members of the Black Rose team were gathered in Li Bochuan's hotel room, preparing for the final stage of strategic deployment discussions. When he saw the latest playoff schedule released to the hands of the teams, Xu Yiming couldn't help but shouted: "I rely on rely on rely on rely on who draws this lottery, do you want to be so unlucky?" Ah, I met the No. 2 seed team in the first game, so I can't live it!"
Under such grief-stricken screams, Xu Yichen covered his mouth with some headaches, suppressed the voice that only he could hear, and successfully blocked the words behind him with only one sentence: " Team You drew lots, are you sure you want to shout?"
Liu Zeshen glanced at Xu Yiming, who was suddenly quiet, and joked with a smile: "According to your way of complaining, won't the B group of the Tianqi team be drawn to commit suicide?"
What he said was mostly a joke, but it was not wrong. The combined strength of the Liuyun team is indeed one of the best in the league at present, but compared with the Tianqi team, there is still a certain distance. Although it is not a very satisfactory result to meet them in the first stop, at least it is not the worst situation.
Xu Yiming didn't shout so exaggeratedly anymore, but still couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Although Team Liuyun is indeed inferior to Team Tianqi, the Group A we drew happened to be the opening match! I thought there could be more Take a rest for a day and a half to recharge your batteries, now it's all over, you have to play in a hurry!"
You Jing flicked through the materials for a moment, then looked up at him: "So?"
Xu Yiming was caught by the chilling gaze, and immediately changed his expression: "So, we must recharge our batteries and use the most handsome and energetic state of mind to meet new tests and battles!"
Xiao Li couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing with a "poof".
"If the Liuyun team follows the preseason situation, it will not be difficult to win with our current lineup. However, there is no Wen Shuqing in the preseason Liuyun, and now, not only Wen Shuqing has returned to the team, but also paid a lot of money to hire him back. Zhang Xuannian was appointed as their coach. After this period of training, the overall strength may not be the same." Li Bochuan put a file of information on the table, ignored Xu Yiming's ramblings, and analyzed to everyone, "But Even so, the opening game will greatly affect the trend of public opinion and the morale of the subsequent games, so there are reasons to win."
Shen Changyu nodded, and began to distribute the current tentative appearance arrangement to everyone, while explaining: "According to the opponent's situation, our current preparation is that Lin Xiao, Xiao Li and I will play in the individual competition. Is there any problem?" ?”
Xiao Li: "I obey the organization's arrangement."
Lin Xiao just yawned, then paused and said with a smile, "I'm fine."
Shen Changyu nodded and continued: "Then, in the team competition, Liu Zeshen, Chen Anqi and Team You will play. Do you have any questions?"
You Jing didn't say anything, it was a tacit consent.
Liu Zeshen smiled and nodded: "I'm OK."
Shen Changyu turned his gaze questioningly to Chen Anqi who was sitting by the French window, and saw that she was staring at the night scene outside the window in a daze, and after a while, she seemed to feel the strange silence in the room, turned her head, and the corner of her mouth curled into a twitch. Strong and weird arc: "Team Liuyun will be unlucky tomorrow, I have nothing to say."
The delicate voice passed the ears, like a hand quietly scratching the heart, causing everyone in the room to feel a chill down their spine, and they all shivered suddenly.
Ever since Chen Anqi joined the team, she hasn't talked much. At first, the young players cheered because there was finally a female player in the team, until some nights when they returned to the house for no reason, they fell down the stairs for no reason, got lost in the club and could not return to the dormitory, and some things that were mentioned by her After all kinds of unlucky series of strange and unsolvable incidents, no one dared to play any more big or small jokes with this senior loli.
Faced with Chen Anqi's answer, Shen Changhe coughed twice, and the room fell silent.
After emphasizing the arrangement of the team competition, You Jing glanced coldly around the surroundings, and there was no doubt in his usual tone: "Please use tomorrow's performance to show the audience They show our strength and we must win."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows lazily when he heard the words, and laughed a few times: "Since Team You has spoken, it must be a win!"
…
In the anticipation of hundreds of millions of league players, the opening day of the LPP playoffs has finally officially arrived!
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the whole venue was brightly lit, thousands of follow-spot lights on the top fell on the venue, and the atmosphere of all the audience was also excited with the countless vivid beams of light.

Thousands of audiences used their shouts and cheers, intertwined with the thick and faint, and repeated an exciting symphony deafeningly, venting their emotions unscrupulously.
From now on, the LPP playoffs begin!
The big screen at the front suddenly lit up, and the team emblems of the eight major teams flashed one by one in their own unique ways. As the exclusive interviews and clips of the members of each team were played, the atmosphere in the field was lifted to a high point again.
While the scene was full of enthusiasm, the e-sports channel of the TV station and the GY live broadcast platform jointly broadcast the live broadcast simultaneously. Thousands of Zone players who were unable to watch the game in person stood in front of the computer screen, watching the exciting and fierce battle.
At exactly nine o'clock, the exciting music in the venue stopped abruptly, and a man and a woman in formal attire walked onto the stage amidst the attention of all the people, holding microphones in their hands, and began to introduce the specific schedule of this LPP playoffs to the audience.
Xiao Wu is wearing a pure white dress today. She looks dignified and gentle. Standing beside her is Xu Qingli in a suit and leather shoes. The two of them will serve as official commentators for the playoffs.
Xiao Wu finished the opening speech completely with a mellow and pleasant voice. Xu Qingli next to him picked up the microphone and said with a smile on his face: "I believe everyone is already a little impatient, and I am the same. Next, let us use all our enthusiasm and Applause, come to welcome the start of today's gluttonous feast! Next, I announce that the LPP playoffs—officially, begin!"
All of a sudden, all the lampposts in the arena began to jump wantonly, and as soon as his last word fell, the cheers and shouts in the arena suddenly surged like mountains and seas, and the screams and applause almost overturned the entire scene. piece of sky.
After looking forward to so many days and nights, today is finally ushered in, and from then on, the war begins!
As the commentator's impassioned speech ended, players from both sides of the opening game began to enter the arena one after another under the eyes of everyone.
In the first game of the playoffs, Team Black Rose VS Team Liuyun.
The players from both sides went to the center of the field to shake hands and salute each other. Lin Xiao just glanced casually, but his eyes fell on the man sitting in the wheelchair at the front of Team Liuyun, his eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
In this passionate atmosphere, this person is like a warm spring, people will be attracted to him at first glance.
Wen Shuqing.
The captain of the Liuyun team, and the only disabled e-sports player in the league.
After shaking those cold hands with almost no temperature, just as Lin Xiao wanted to say something, the next person hastily pulled his hands into his palms: "Lin Xiao, we are really, long, no, See, ah!"
As soon as he raised his head, Lin Xiao's head suddenly became dizzy when he met Shang Yanlingjiang's eyes with anger hidden in his eyes.
—Speaking of which, why did I forget about this Buddha!
Feeling the sight of You Jing floating in front of him, his spirit was shaken, and he also put on a harmless and innocent smile: "Dayan, long time no see, oh hehehe..."
