I'm the strongest mid laner

Chapter 230 The first match against SKT
That night, CP defeated EDG to win the LPL Summer Championship and became a hot search on Weibo.

The main reason is that EDG has a lot of fans, so CP is on the hot search. Fans under EDG's official blog have expressed their dissatisfaction. They feel that EDG played poorly in the finals and there are internal problems.

It's not that they can't accept defeat, but they can't accept being easily defeated, and the game ended 3-0, which is a bit too crushing.

Even when returning to the game, EDG rarely leads the CP, and most of the time they are beaten by the CP. For fans who are waiting hard for the game, EDG's loss is a bit unacceptable.

Rational fans could see that CP played very well, so they did not scold EDG, but encouraged them, hoping that they could get a good result in the S game.

At the same time, CP posted a wave of photos after winning the championship.

The photo is a picture of the contestants holding the trophy after winning the championship. There are five group photos and a single photo holding the trophy. The five young and immature faces are proud and wanton. From the photos, you can see their confident temperament .

Jiugongge photos, 8 color photos, one black and white photo in the middle, this photo has received the most comments and has been reposted by many people on major e-sports forums.

In the photo, the five people made a unified movement around the trophy. The movements were neat and handsome and highlighted the trophy. The white lights on the stage shone on the silver dragon cup, making the trophy shine white.

This is to tell everyone that they won the championship, and it also tells everyone their pursuit. Their professional dream is to chase the championship!
Relying on the popularity of EDG, CP was rarely searched on Weibo, and then attracted many Weibo users. Many people were amazed by the composition of this photo.

On the largest LOL post bar in China - Anti-stress Bar, everyone is actively discussing topics related to the finals.

"Although EDG was eliminated cleanly, I don't think they played badly, but CP played well."

"One thing to say, CP's performance in these three rounds is really strong. The player's hero pool is very deep, and they can play many routines that have not been seen before. I think their championship is worthy of the name, and they are very competitive in the S game! "

"I watched the LCK finals next door. They played wonderfully. The king of SKT is back. The World Championship is definitely our strong opponent!"

"Has anyone noticed the photo that CP just released? They are all so confident. There is a photo that I think is very handsome. Let me show you, trophy.jpg."

"I really feel it, damn it!"

"666, I have a hunch that this time the LPL will kill the LCK, we are too strong this year!"

After someone posted that photo in the post, there were even more replies from Lou Zhonglou than the post!
After the game, all the big players in the post bar were dispatched, some started to reorganize the P-pictures, and some started to replay after the game.

Those who worked hard provided the factory manager with pictures of EDG never being destroyed. All the pictures showed four people in EDG died, leaving the factory manager alone to escape, and there were a few waves or even full of blood to escape~
The people who review the game start from the first sentence and review the game through details, so that everyone can see the details of the game in the game. These things are things that only high-level players can notice. There will be an "oh, that's it" reaction.

"Look, this is the scene of Brother Lang's level 2 solo killing pawn in the third round. Through the map signal of CP, they guessed that the factory manager went to the middle to arrest people, but Brother Lang didn't choose to escape but forcibly killed him. He thinks that besides being able to solo kill cards, it’s also for the smooth progress of the top lane attack.”

"Little Peanut took advantage of this wave of opportunities to go directly to the road, that is to say, EDG caught and CP caught, almost at the same time, and when the factory manager passed by the Ueno area, the river got his eyes, which made koro1 lower his vigilance Xin, Little Peanut has succeeded in this wave of roaming."

"Looking at it alone, Brother Lang's strong kill is very exciting, but in fact, even if Brother Lang didn't kill the card in this wave, it doesn't hurt much, because Yasuo's return to the line to play cards is still an advantage, but the upper lane TheShy and Peanut won the advantage. It's the same, Brother Lang is using his life to attract EDG's attention, he wants to help his teammates open up the situation!"

The follow-up includes details such as the operation of the pawn line and changing lines to explain what CP does well, and how EDG handles it, many of which are things that the audience cannot see.

Why sometimes there is no outbreak of kills, but the economic gap between the two sides is established. It is because of excellent details such as line transfers that economic advantages can be established.

After a brief reunion with his parents, Chen Lang sent them to the station the next day and returned to the base to start training.

Even if he won the LPL Summer Championship, he can't rest now, because he will go to the World Championship soon, and he must hurry up and train with his teammates in order to cope with the opponents in the World Championship.

"Brother Lang, are you still watching the game?" JackeyLove was about to rest after training, when he saw Chen Lang still in his seat.

"En." Chen Lang responded.

"You have watched a lot of competitions in other divisions these days, so you don't have to work so hard." JackeyLove said with a smile: "I think our strength is still relatively strong. We mainly look at the teams with stronger strength in other divisions. There is no need for everyone Watch the opponent's game so many times."

Chen Lang shook his head and said, "It's different, don't be too confident, sometimes this kind of self-confidence will cost you a heavy price, it's better to work hard now than to regret later."

"Don't underestimate other competition regions. Maybe you think their strength is not that strong, but a strong team is not guaranteed to win a game. Sometimes it depends on the version, hero and mentality. These are the keys to the outcome of the game. factor."

JackeyLove pursed his lips and said, "I just think our opponent should be the LCK, and we should study their games more. The hard power of Europe and America is still a little bit worse."

Judging from the record of previous matches, the strength of the European and American divisions is indeed weaker than that of LPL and LCK, so LPL audiences and players have always regarded LCK as their opponents, and NA and LEC have not taken it seriously.

"In fact, the characteristics of the competition regions are different. LPL and LCK are relatively opposite, focusing on online rhythm and operation. Europe and the United States like to play cards not according to routines, so their results are either poor or amazing. Sometimes this kind of Flexible routines are more promising than rigid operations and BP.”

"It's right to pay more attention, so as not to stumble when the time comes, and you can also learn a little routine from them."

When the hard power of the two sides is similar or the gap is not particularly large, the routine will be very effective.

Because if you can't win the opponent in a regular game, sometimes black technology will stun the opponent, because the opponent has never encountered this lineup and situation, but it is easy to win the game.

Both Europe and the United States have a BO1 competition system. The S match group stage is a single-round BO1 cycle. Sometimes their whimsical ideas can indeed bring surprises to the audience.

In fact, later on, LPL and LCK also took the initiative to learn the gameplay of the European and American divisions, including non-mainstream builds that cannot be seen in this division, Magic Cheluxian, Archangel Clockwork.
JackeyLove pulled the chair next to him, then sat down carelessly, and said with a smile, "I'm not sleepy now, my buddy will accompany you to watch the game."

Chen Lang glanced at JackeyLove, his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape: "Okay, let's study SKT in a while."

"We really need to watch more of their games and replay them. They are very strong, and I think they may be our biggest opponent." JackeyLove nodded.

SKT is the champion of the LCK Summer Split. After losing at MSI, they returned to the LCK and still showed their dominance. They even set the record for the highest win in the league!
This point is a bit similar to them. Both teams broke and created the winning record in the summer split of the division, but they are slightly better, because SKT lost a game, and they have not lost a game!
"They are indeed very strong, whether it is laning, team battles, or operations are top-notch," Chen Lang said.

"In their eyes, we should also be the number one enemy. We need to be more prepared. You are right. It may be a good choice to learn black technology from Europe and the United States."

JackeyLove knows how strong SKT is. As the No. [-] seed in each other's division, the two sides are definitely the number one enemy.

After all, EDG defeated SKT at MSI. Now that CP has defeated EDG and still swept the team, such an outstanding performance will naturally attract SKT's attention.

"There is only more than a month until the World Championship. We still need to strengthen our training. If we want to win the championship, we must defeat all opponents!"

In addition to the hard power of the team, the results of the single-elimination competition system have a lot to do with luck. As long as the group scores are good, even if the strength is not as good as that of the top teams, they can still get good results.

However, the team that can become the champion must be the strongest team in the world at the moment, because they want to defeat all competitors.

Chen Lang and JackeyLove began to study the game video, reviewing all the games of the teams that entered the world championship this time, evaluating the overall strength of those teams, and also looking at their players' weaknesses.

Chen Lang was fully prepared. Knowing the ending in his previous life, he knew that the LPL would receive an unprecedented blow in this World Championship. All the teams failed in the group stage. EDG barely broke through to the quarterfinals, and the LPL division became a joke.

Because of MSI, the LPL division has been blown as the strongest division. ESPN also listed LGD, the No. [-] seed, as the strongest team in the world. The audience in the LPL division are all confident and ready to win the championship.

However, the bloody facts gave all the LPL audience a blow. The LPL team played very ugly games. The No. 0 seed LGD was directly eliminated in the group stage. Two games where the outcome doesn't matter
EDG had an unprecedented 0-4 exit in the quarter-finals, the LPL No. 0 and No. 4 seeds were eliminated early in the group stage, and the second seed was [-]-[-] in the quarter-finals. No matter what it is, it is a very shameful result.

S5 and S6 were later recognized as the two years with the worst results in the LPL, but in fact S5 was the one. In S6, two teams entered the top eight, and in S5 there was only one team in the top eight.

Putting aside the results and looking at the process, S5 lost against the LCK, not to mention the European and American divisions, S6 lost to the LCK teams anyway, EDG lost to the then LCK summer champion roxtiger, RNG lost to SKT.

These two teams can be said to be the two strongest teams in the world that year. Losing to them is not shameful. On the other hand, S5's performance is not good, and they were beaten by European and American teams. Naturally, S5 was the most humiliating year.

Chen Lang didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, he hoped to rewrite that sad ending.

Fortunately, he has changed part of his direction. Now the No. [-] seed is no longer LGD, and the No. [-] seed is still EDG. LGD will compete with IG for the No. [-] seed in the bubbling match.

A few days later, the LPL bubbling match started. As expected, the final team in the bubbling match was IG playing LGD.

In the end, IG lost 1-3 to LGD and missed the World Championship, while LGD got the last place in the LPL World Championship!

So far, the teams representing the LPL have been determined, the No. [-] seed CP, the No. [-] seed EDG, and the No. [-] seed LGD.

Before the expedition, LPL officials will also film an S game expedition ceremony to cheer for the three teams.

The players of each team will wear their own team uniforms, and everyone will appear on the stage hand in hand.

On the eve of filming, the team members mingled and communicated. They were opponents on the court, but not enemies off the court. Some of them were still friends.

"Come on for the World Championship, lqs." The factory manager said with a smile when he saw lqs.

LQS's bangs are almost covering his eyes, and his smile can be seen through his thick hair: "Come on together."

"We lost to you in the summer competition, and we will definitely not lose again in the world competition!" said the factory manager.

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that the meaning of this sentence was not good, so he quickly changed his words: "We meet in the final, and I will never lose to you again!"

If the two teams can go to the final together, that would be the best ending. This is also the hope that both sides can achieve excellent results, after all, they will enter the final to guarantee the runner-up.

The LGD team members were also there, and Wei Shen came over and smiled when he heard the director's words: "This is the final meeting, what about us?"

The factory manager smiled and said, "It depends on which team you will play in the semi-finals, whoever wins will advance~"

"Don't worry, it must be us." Wei Shen said very confidently: "Before we lost, we went back and reflected on the mistakes we made. We are invincible in the World Championship."

"Invincible?" The factory manager looked at Wei Shen in feigned surprise and said, "You don't think Brother Lang is right?"

"."

Which pot does not open which pot.

The factory manager is the jungler, Wei Shen is the mid laner, and Chen Lang is also the mid laner. The two of them are the most direct confrontation. Wei Shen is somewhat embarrassed by the factory director's words.

After all, he had just lost to Chen Lang in the playoffs. Wei Shen claimed to be invincible in front of Chen Lang, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Chen Lang smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as we all get a good result together, we can't say for sure in the World Championship."

Wei Shen smiled confidently: "We will meet in the top eight. In the top four civil war, anyone can accept the loss. The champion must stay in the LPL and cannot be taken away by the LCK. This year, we will encircle the top four and suppress the LCK!"

Although Wei Shen has a conceited and arrogant personality, in fact, he still hopes that the LPL can win in his heart.

"Okay!" The factory manager nodded with a smile.

"In other words, the three teams in the LCK this year are also quite strong, which is a bit tricky."

The factory manager is a jungler with his brain. He likes to study opponents from other regions. These days, he has watched a lot of matches between the three LCK teams participating in the World Championship and found that they are all very strong.

Wei Shen didn't care at all: "Can you still be better than us?"

"Mingkai, you beat SKT at MSI, 3-1, and you beat us 3-2 in the Spring Split. This doesn't mean that SKT is weaker than us, and LGD is stronger than SKT."

Wei Shen used the record of LGD and EDG in the finals of the Spring Split to compare the record of EDG defeating SKT at MSI to compare the strength gap between LGD and SKT horizontally. After all, the opponents are both EDG, and this comparison is still of reference value.

"CP3-0 you in the summer split, which means that CP is stronger. SKT swept all the teams in the LCK in the summer split, so SKT is the strongest, but SKT is even worse than our three teams. Our championship this year is stable."

Wei Shen said with a smile: "The quarterfinals will definitely play LCK. I hope we will play SKT by then, and I will send the anti-FAKER away directly."

The factory manager looked at the cheerful Wei Shen and didn't say a word, his self-confidence was too high.
The factory manager looked at Chen Lang and said, "Brother Lang, when the time comes, the three of us will play more training games."

"no problem."

During the World Championships, each team will play training games to maintain their feel. They also have to adapt and explore the version, experimenting with various routines and styles of play. Everyone is advancing through exploration.

The training match must require teams with similar strength or strong strength to be effective, whether it is the training lineup, rhythm, or operation.

The difference in strength is too big, and I don't feel the problem. After all, Ni Kangte can also defeat the opponent. How can I practice heroes and laning?

After the departure ceremony, the three LPL teams went to the UK together.

At this moment, the LPL audience is united as never before. Everyone cheers for the LPL team together. In China, everyone supports different teams, so they are opponents. However, the S game is a competition of the nature of the division, and everyone is still unanimous.

Especially, having been defeated by the LCK in the past two years, the LPL audience very much hopes that the LPL team can win the S championship!
After arriving in the UK, the first thing Chen Lang and the others did was to get rid of jet lag. The time in the UK and China is different. In order to ensure a good training state, there should be no mental problems.

After getting used to it for a few days, everyone started formal training, and each team made appointments with each other for training matches.

The most popular teams are SKT and CP. These two teams showed their super strength in the summer split. All teams want to play training games with them to experience each other's strength.

In this case, CP and SKT have continuous training games every day, only they don't want to play, and there are no training games they can't get.

"How is it? Are you feeling better?" Chen Lang asked JackeyLove with concern.

"Better." JackeyLove nodded.

His stomach is not very good, and he is not acclimatized when he comes out of the UK, and he doesn't like the food here, so his physical condition is not very good, but he is already adjusting, and he will definitely be fine when the competition officially starts.

"Okay, take a break if you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself, or it may have a negative effect." Chen Lang reminded.

The most common thing is to play rank on the European server, and most of the training games are played at night. JackeyLove is not in good health, so Chen Lang and the others turned down part of the training games.

"SKT has an appointment with us for a training match!" Lin Huiyin said from outside the door.

Startled, JackeyLove looked up at Lin Huiyin and said, "Really?"

"Yeah." Lin Huiyin nodded: "They wanted to make an appointment with us two days ago, but they were picked up by EDG and LGD."

EDG's Deft has always had a good relationship with Korean players, as does LGD's IMP, so they used their personal connections to communicate with their teammates, and then the players gave feedback to the coach, and they made appointments for training games in advance.

EDG and LGD are also strong teams in the LPL, so there is no reason for SKT to refuse. Everyone is an opponent, so there must be no problem if you play too many games one by one.

The group stage has not yet drawn lots. Once the teams in the group stage are determined, the teams in the same group will not be able to play training matches at that time, which is not conducive to studying opponents. This is an opportunity to learn about opponents.

"Come on let's see how ****ackeyLove is excited about SKT.

Chen Lang sat on the chair with the same excited expression.

SKT of S5 is also known as the strongest team in the history of LOL. It has created a series of S game records and is definitely an extremely powerful opponent.

Meeting such an opponent, Chen Lang faintly felt his blood boil.

Entering the custom room, Chen Lang saw a list of all SKT titles on the other side, and his eyes were full of challenges.

"Let me see how strong you are!"

SKT lounge.

"Oh, here we come." The chubby wolf saw the game match Chen Lang and others came in.

"Fight well, brothers, they are very strong." Bang and his teammates said.

Bengi was gearing up and said: "Look at who is stronger between our middle field and the opponent's middle field!"

FAKER didn't speak. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he is very ruthless in the game, and he and bengi are three-year-old teammates, and the two cooperate very well.

Bang, wolf, and Marin all joined SKT's T team this year. The three of them were previously members of the S team. Now the two teams have merged into one to form the current SKT team.

"They are scarier than us!" Bang said: "They won all the regular seasons in the league, and only lost one game in the finals. We have to be serious, we can't lose to them in the first game."

"It's a very strong opponent. I met their top laner in the rankings before. They play very aggressively and are easy to catch." Marin squinted and smiled:
"It seems that this is going to teach my brother a lesson."

TheShy is Marin's junior in terms of seniority, and Marin has no problem calling him his younger brother.

After a simple greeting, the game between the two sides began.
