LOL: This man is too strong!

Chapter 316 In Berlin Day1
As the chief operating officer of TSM, Maggiora is now suffering.

A series of changes after the 2017 winter window brought TSM into a relatively dark time.

In addition to the impact of the addition of new players on the team as a whole, the departure of the big brother also caused them to lose an immediate combat power, which is tantamount to breaking up and reorganizing TSM.

The arrival of Stupid Chicken and Kakao did not allow the TSM uniform team to see the desired effect. It seemed that they did not fit well with Bilson, and there were not small communication problems, which led to the decline of TSM's overall combat power.

In this year's North American LCS Spring Split, TSM lost to CG 1:3 and stopped in the semi-finals. For the first time in history, they missed the North American LCS finals, let alone Msi.

But Maggiora is very clear that his boss is not so anxious because of TSM's record.

Since he has the determination to change, the orangutan captain naturally has the psychological expectation of record fluctuations.

The most terrible thing is that it is still on "The King".

Maggiora recalled that three months ago, when The King officially announced his injury and missed the game, the orangutan captain was really happy and crazy in those few days.

"Here's your chance, man!"

For several days in a row, he could hear these extremely excited words from the mouth of the orangutan captain.

They took advantage of The King's recuperation period to actively discuss a loan agreement with Snake, and planned to implement it in the summer window of 2018.

In Maggiora's view, the ambitious orangutan captain is like a gambler who frantically pushes his chips on the gaming table. He has a kind of confidence in The King and has no doubts about his state after the injury.

For this reason, TSM secretly made an exaggerated offer to Snake!
But this time, the snake over there did not refuse as before.

Showing an ambiguous state of being indifferent, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

Maggiora can see from this point that Snake always has concerns, and is also worried about whether The King can return to the game after returning from injury. The huge sum of money he spent is likely to be in vain, or even become a sky-high price. bench contract.

In the TSM office, Maggiora glanced at the orangutan captain, who was frowning with a look of depression.

To a certain extent, his own boss's confidence in The King was even higher than that of Mr. Snake.

This should come from the keen perception of a professional player.

However, at the last moment, Snake still refused.

Xia Chuang's lease is not valid.

At this moment, Maggiora also had to admire Captain Orangutan's vision.

Hibernating for three months and missing dozens of games, when Snake was at a loss, The King, who returned from injury, was still the most reliable pillar of Snake, and led Snake to sweep the eastern power all the way, and finally reached Berlin, Germany.

Looking back at it all, it's incredible.

Maggiora couldn't help licking his lips, and his boss almost won the bet.

Unfortunately, snakes are never on the table.

He turned around and advised:
"Boss, don't be too pessimistic. Like you said, Snake is heading towards a legendary three-peat dynasty. If not, they might have signed the contract, and we'll still have a chance."

The orangutan captain is still muttering incessantly:

"I knew it, I knew it!"

"This incredible guy can definitely!"

"My feeling is right!"

Maggiora gave a small compliment: "Mr. Snake is quite calm, and he has survived in three months."

"He can't hold his breath. I think he has too many worries and expectations."

"TheKing is very popular in LPL. If he dares to let go now, Snake may be unstable."

"In addition, there are Asian Games and three consecutive championships this season. He dare not make a decision lightly. If it is a traditional transfer transaction, it will be fine. Such a loan will definitely put him in a dilemma. He wants to continue to operate for a long time. Word of mouth Of course it can't be too bad."

Listening to Captain Orangutan's words, Maggiora also thought about this.

He heard the orangutan captain say again: "He wants to win three consecutive great achievements and build a legendary dynasty. I'm not that greedy. I just want the first world champion in North America!"

Maggiora smiled secretly, thinking that you are not greedy?

If the North American S game wins, wouldn't the entire LCS e-sports circle explode!

"However, this year we should have no hope."

"We didn't even win CG, let alone fight for the world championship."

Maggiora showed shrewd eyes: "Boss, we should have a good chance this winter window."

"good."

The orangutan captain's eyes are bright: "I have a hunch that Snake is likely to establish a dynasty this year. Their current lineup is so good that there are basically no flaws."

"The duo, top laner, and jungler are all very powerful and at their peak."

"Coupled with an absolute No.1 in the league, this is an exaggerated championship vehicle!"

"As one of the oldest players in the league, I have the feeling that this year's Snake is even stronger than last year's. All competitions, including the LCK, can only be used as a foil. Just look at it, this time Msi can prove it what I said."

"Don't talk about Snake's current configuration, just put TheKing in our current lineup, and TSM can instantly transform from a North American team to a world-class team."

"As I said, the position of the mid laner is very special, especially a mid laner with absolute dominance. No matter which lane you are in, you will be affected by him."

"What's more, The King can organize the game and command calmly. It's just perfect! The god of e-sports seems to be meticulously crafted on him, and there is no more perfect existence in the league than him!"

The more the orangutan captain talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more frustrated he became.

This is someone else's house~~
Maggiora added: "The King is also fluent in three languages. As a commander, he can easily control local players and foreign players, and the problem of communication within the team has basically been solved."

"..."

"Boss, I want to call Mr. Snake right now. If he sells The King to us, I'm willing to promise him a lot of conditions."

The orangutan captain laughed, he knew that Maggiora was joking, "There is no need to contact Snake for the time being, this is impossible in 2018, we might as well do some cold treatment."

Maggiora looked at the various Snake player profiles on the table, and he said sharply:

"Snake is very strong in every position. This season, they are also working hard to develop younger mid laners."

"It seems that they are also actively planning for the future."

"This is undoubtedly good news for us"

"..."

Snake's return to Msi has aroused widespread discussion throughout the league world, and there are more than one places like TSM.

On the morning of May 5, Snake base in the magic capital.

Chris knocked on Li Hao's door, and Flandre swung it open inside.

"Look for Brother Hao?"

"Ah."

"No."

Flandre opened the door to the maximum, expressing that she did not lie.

"Go to the bathroom?"

"No."

"Go out early in the morning."

Chris was curious: "What did you do?"

Flandre responded: "It seems that a friend from Jinling's hometown is looking for it. Brother Hao said he will be back after lunch."

"I'm thinking that it's probably a relative or something. After all, I'm going abroad. My family must be worried. I had a long phone call with my mother last night."

Chris said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Flandre was lying on the bed, enjoying the last rest time before going abroad, when he saw the door was opened.

Looking up, Li Hao came back.

"Brother Hao, you look very tired, did you go out with friends from your hometown?"

"No."

Li Hao took a small breath: "It's just a simple meal together."

As a top top laner, Flandre's consciousness is still good, he asked with a mysterious smile:
"Male and female?"

"Female." Li Hao didn't hide anything.

"Oh?!"

Sheng Lance sat up at once, gossip flooding his heart: "Brother Hao, when did you do Midsummer Night's Dream!"

"Tell me!"

Li Hao cast a glance at him: "Children don't have to worry about adults' affairs."

Flandre came up and rubbed her hands together:

"Tell the child quickly, don't worry, I will keep it secret!"

Li Hao explained:
"It's a friend of mine in Jinling. He also works here. I haven't seen him for a long time. Let's chat and have a meal. They have arranged a blind date at home. What can you do with me?"

"Be pure in your mind, don't gossip all day long."

"That's it~"

Gun shook his head, a little regretful.

"Brother Hao, if you want first-hand gossip, you must tell me."

"Now a lot of people miss you."

He earnestly said: "Brother Hao, look, you are not young, at least find someone."

Li Hao rolled his eyes at him:
"Give you gossip, and then you put it on the homepage to backstab me, right?"

"Don't think I don't know, Ritianxue was created by you kid."

"Hahaha." Holy Lance, who had been told what was on his mind, laughed loudly.

Seeing him like this, Li Hao thought that the Holy Spear was easy to coax, and Meiqin was not so easy to argue with, most likely due to his own inexperience.

Taking advantage of the rest time, Li Hao clicked on Miss Hui Ye again to observe the brainstorming of geniuses.

That night, Chris found him again.

Mainly to discuss the latest version changes.

This is closely related to Li Hao, because several mid laners have been buffed or nerfed.

For example, LeBlanc, which underwent a redesign in S7, has returned to its original appearance, re-enacted, and the once stunning Black Rose is back.

There are also several versions of strong heroes who have been cut, such as the Tsar and Galio.

Li Hao is very clear that this time Msi will only be updated to version 8.8, and it is still just a small repair for the mage in the middle lane.

In the 8.9 version, that is the real big change of the legal system.

……

On the morning of May 5rd, Li Hao received another call from his parents, who gave him instructions.

Afterwards, he arrived at Pudong International Airport with the Snake team.

LPL officials and some friends from the media also rushed over. Before leaving, they opened a team flag with the LPL logo on it.

Soon, LPL officially uploaded several sets of photos, and Snake also released them on the homepage one after another.

——In the 2018 mid-season championship game, Snake officially embarked on the journey representing the LPL division!

First stop: Berlin, Germany.

On the plane, the most excited person should be the Black Angel.

This kid doesn't talk much, but everyone can feel the excitement.

It was the farthest road he had traveled from Nanning to Shanghai before, but now, this distance has been extended a lot.

Angel was sitting next to Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang. Da Congming saw his appearance and said with a smile:

"The us last year are very similar to Xiaotao now."

"It's also the first time to go abroad, and it's also Msi."

Liu Qingsong joked: "Angel is much better than you, at least he is not afraid, but you were nervously pulling Brother Hao's arm."

"Ah? Is there?" Da Congming looked like he couldn't remember clearly.

Flandre leaned her head closer: "The thing that impressed me the most was the security check."

"At that time, there was an old black prosecutor. He actually knew us and asked me for an autograph."

"Hey, we're considered celebrities around the world."

Casa asked Li Hao: "Brother Hao, what are you thinking now?"

"Um"

"I don't think about it, I just hope this year's Msi goes as well as last year."

Same as last year?
The implication is to win the championship? !
Brother Wolf's eyes lit up immediately, and he was looking forward to it.

He has only won championships in the LMS, and he has no gold content at all. Especially in these few world championships, the LMS has not only been reduced to an accompanying runner, but the record of the participating teams is even worse.

To be a world champion is definitely an elusive honor for brother wolf.

Karsa knew very well that this time was the closest he was to that glory!
"Flying the world is close to 15 hours, so try to rest as much as you can."

"When we got there, there was a seven-hour time difference."

"okay!"

"..."

After getting off from Berlin Airport, everyone was a little tired. Although the trip was not bumpy, fatigue was inevitable.

Outside the airport, staff members arranged by Riot had been waiting there for a long time.

To Li Hao's surprise, he saw a familiar face among Riot's staff, because he had seen this person at the Los Angeles headquarters before.

Ghost designer Certainlyt.

He is the designer of Teemo, Yasuo, and Nuoshou. The latest Zoe also comes from this middle-aged blond man with sunken eyes.

Certainlyt, like several other staff members, extended a warm welcome to Snake and his party, all of them were smiling.

Li Hao had communicated with Certainlyt before, so he shook hands with him very friendly.

"Li! You are welcome!"

"Thank you."

Together they boarded the bus that Fist had prepared, and they heard Certainlyt ask again:

"Li, what do you think of Zoe's design?"

"not bad."

"You shouldn't weaken her, though, and Targon's mischievous girl deserves more vigor."

"Haha, we have the same views, but Chun Li and the others won't listen."

"I saw the Zoe you used, it's wonderful."

Certainlyt gave a thumbs up: "I hope you can use it in the next game."

Li Hao responded half-jokingly:

"I'm afraid that after I use it, you will weaken it again."

"For the Twilight Protoss, this is really a cruel thing."

"Hahaha."

"Lee, you're really funny, that's why you're so creative."

"..."

After chatting for a few more words, Certainlyt felt that he had met a bosom friend, and he said mysteriously:

"Let me tell you a piece of news. I have a very good idea recently. I swear that it will make the summoners' eyes shine. This is a brand new design."

"I will bring new vitality to Targon, I believe you will like it too."

"Certainlyt, half-talking is not a good habit."

"..."

Li Hao cooperated with his sense of mystery, but in fact his heart was very peaceful.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Certainlyt had this idea so early.

This genius designer of the Alliance will leave his last masterpiece in Riot, which is No E Trouble.

Not even the E skill, which is beyond the thinking of ordinary designers.

People always make jokes about Yasuo's E. Some players who hate Yasuo think that Yasuo's E skill is the most annoying design. Maybe this is what inspired Certainlyt.

Since the controversy is so big, I simply don't want the E skill.

Seeing that Li Hao and Certainlyt communicated very freely, the Snakes and the rest of the team were quite upset.

If you don’t understand, that’s awesome.

"Gunzi, I often tell you that you must read more and learn more."

Zuo Wu said earnestly.

Flandre gave him a blank look, making it seem like you can keep up with Brother Hao's rhythm.

He asked back: "Then do you usually read and study?"

"Of course." Zuo Wu patted his chest.

"What book did you read?"

Before Zuo Wu could answer, Liu Qingsong on the side rushed to answer:

""Cat Owner's Body Language", "The Manager and the Cat", "Meow Sauce Can't Be So Cute", "Cat Films"."

"Yue~~~!"

"Hahaha"

Those fist-fist guys don't know what they're talking about, but laughter is contagious.

Several blond brothers could feel their active and cheerful atmosphere.

They laughed too.

Those in the car are even more optimistic about this favorite to win the championship.

They have a calm and wise core, a group of lovely, lively and good-minded teammates, this is a dynamic team.

The good attitude and relaxed atmosphere come from their strong self-confidence.

Li Hao looked out of the car window. There are baroque buildings showing off wealth, using a lot of precious materials and colorful colors.You can also see the revival of classical column proportions, semicircular arches, and dome-centered buildings, which originated in Florence during the Renaissance.

It feels pretty good to take a look at this European-style street by chance.

He just turned on his phone and saw a lot of unread messages.

Some parents sent: [Son, safety first, competition second.Don't go out at night, and don't walk around at ordinary times, always follow the big troops. 】

There is a message from the whoring teacher: [I and Sun Yalong and his group will arrive in two days. If you forget to bring anything, you can tell me.Good brother, can I get along? After Msi, it’s okay to take me on a few waves, right]

Li Hao couldn't help but laugh.

Message from Cuihua: [Brother Hao, I will cheer for you in front of the screen! 】

Scrolling down, there is also a message from North America, after a closer look, it is indeed sent by a stupid chicken: [Damn it, wolfberry, I originally wanted to come to Msi to attack you, but I feel unwell recently, so let it go first You'll be fine soon. 】

Li Hao shook his head with a smile, and responded: [LCS top six, let’s watch TV at home (dog head)]

There is another message from Meiqin: 【Brother Hao, come on! 】

……

Replied all the messages on the phone, chatted with the people in the car, and soon arrived at the hotel arranged by the fist.

This time around, all 14 teams that came to Msi were put together in a hotel not far from the European LCS studios.

However, unlike Snake's newcomer, those teams that need to qualify for the finals have already started the competition today.

There are 10 play-in teams, only 2 of which can advance to the final group stage.

The Flash Wolves of the LMS division are also in the finalists.

In the first two days, Snake's team members basically recuperated in the hotel, reversing the jet lag.

Then start playing scrims with some teams.

A few days passed, and the form of the play-in competition gradually became clear.

The EVS team from Vietnam and the Flash Wolves of the LMS division broke through and entered the six places in the group stage.

Next, the 6 teams will play a single game in a double round-robin format.The top four teams can advance to the knockout stage of Bo5, and if there is a tie, there will be an extra match.

On the day of May 5th, many teams were already preparing to leave Berlin and go home.

For them, it's all about participation.

And the official contest of the 2018 Mid-Season Championship has just begun.
