Chapter 322 The Temporarily Deposited Championship Trophy!
Seoul, Korea.

Inside the headquarters of the GEN e-sports club.

"Finally you won, Zai Hyuk, this is your revenge. I remember that you didn't seem to win much when you were in the queue."

In the group of the illegal third row, apart from GEN's bottom lane duo Chidi and coreJJ, there is also the top laner Cuvee.

At this time, Cuvee also showed a smile after seeing the Korean word Victory that popped up on the screen, and said.

"Trust me I'd be happy if you took that last sentence back."

Chidi responded blankly.

Since the defeat in the S7 World Championship, Chidi's temperament has become more and more indifferent. He has gradually become an emotional output machine in the team. When facing any bot lane duo in China, he dares to fight and fight hard. .

And his style of play is like venting his grievances.

Chidi knew very well how this game was won. During the laning phase, the four of them jumped down the tower, but they were almost manipulated by Li Luo. If it wasn't for Li Luo's jungler, Blind Boy would be the best sixth man. The foot sent them out of the attack range of the defense tower, who was bound to die against the tower, and maybe Li Luo would fight back with that wave.

Rank is such a thing that it is difficult for an ADC to carry the team on its own, but there are people on Li Luo's side who want to win. If Li Luo becomes fat, the result is really hard to say.

It was under such internal and external cooperation that he gained the upper hand in the laning phase. Emperor Chi secretly calculated that in the past year or so, he and Li Luo had encountered no less than thirty or forty times in the rank. For the first time, he destroyed Li Luo's defense tower one step ahead.

Thinking about it is a little bit sour.

"We're going to the play-ins soon, cheer up."

coreJJ patted Chidi on the shoulder: "Strive for a full victory in the play-in competition. If possible, we can also be assigned to Group A to truly achieve revenge on the field."

Unexpectedly, after coreJJ's words fell into Chidi's ears, Chidi jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He shook off coreJJ's hand and said, "Ayigu, I'm bothering you."

coreJJ looked at the back of Chidi leaving, feeling a little helpless.

"He has a knot."

Zhangmen An didn't know when he appeared behind coreJJ, and said.

"I know that he is eager for revenge, but in fact, he has already developed a fear of Shine in his bones. This is a very contradictory psychology, and he is escaping."

As Chidi's old partner, coreJJ sighed: "I think our state is really good, and I have an intuition that EDG will not go smoothly in this World Championship. The MAD state in Group A is very good. Lacha, we had a scrim against them recently, and they were ridiculously weak."

"Europe's No. [-] VIT is very strong, but it doesn't feel as strong as us. I want to give it a try. Do you think we have a possibility to make EDG like last year... Eh? Brother Chanrong?"

CoreJJ, who was talking endlessly, turned around and found that Mr. An was already walking away.

I saw Mr. An stretching out his hand while walking and said: "Don't take us if you are bragging. It is good to have a dream, but your dream is too unrealistic. I have the same thoughts as Jae Hyuk. I don't want to fall behind in the group stage. In Group A, if we fall into other groups, we may even qualify first in the group, but in Group A, there is a high probability that we will only be second."

"Do you want to start a civil war when you're eight or four? I don't."

Head An felt handsome when he said these words.

He thinks he has a long-term vision.

As a Korean, although he lost in the World Championship last year, Ahn thought it was a small probability event.

The training environment of Korean League of Legends is still far better than that of China. They don't have so many sponsor advertisements, and they don't take up a lot of training time for players.

At most, I would occasionally participate in activities such as variety shows, which is also for the relaxation of the players.

Although LPL has been developing rapidly in the past year or so, Zhangmen An firmly believes that if the pace is too large, it is easy to get caught.

This year, their Korean team will use the results of "three Korean teams in the top four" to help LCK regain the title of Qi in the first division!

There is a reason why An Zhangmen has such confidence.

Although they ended this year's summer split with a loss to AFS in the first round, GEN completed an incredible series of three in the bubbling match.

They killed SKT first, and then they successively won the dark horse Griffin in the summer split and the champion KZ in the spring split.

KZ, which fell into a decline after MSI, failed to even enter the World Championship, and was kicked away like a dog in the playoffs.

Even Guan Zeyuan, a well-known LPL commentator and their loyal fan, posted a Weibo with inexplicable excitement, praising GEN's resilience in words, and said that a team like GEN that has gone through great hardships before entering the World Championship will surely make great strides , hit a record in team history.

The whole world is optimistic about them. What they failed to do last year will definitely be able to do it this year!
Thinking of this, Head An held his head high, full of confidence.

……

at the same time.

Busan, inside EDG's temporary training base.

All EDG members are disaster-affected groups.

It's just that the local area of ​​Li Luo was the hardest hit.

After losing a rank again, even Abu couldn't stand it anymore. He walked to Li Luo's side and couldn't help but said, "Why don't you... take a rest, this will not achieve any training effect."

"Actually, it's okay."

Li Luo shook his head slightly: "Aside from winning or losing, if you don't think about it, this kind of training environment is actually quite good."

"what?"

Abu was stunned.

At the end of this day, he had seen what Li Luo's ghosts and monsters looked like.

These people's acting skills are extremely bad, and all kinds of deliberate irritating actions emerge in endlessly.

But Li Luo is like a wooden man. He is not angry when he is robbed of popularity, and he is not angry when he is maliciously flashed by the assistant. He always fights rank with a calm attitude.

Is that human being?
Isn't this a saint?
Li Luo glanced at Abu who was in a sluggish state, moved his wrist while waiting in line, then turned his chair and said, "Coach, you have to think about it from another angle, for example, the one who grabbed the red, although he won the red, But losing my dear horse, it will be much more comfortable if I think about it this way.”

Abu: o((⊙﹏⊙))o
For the first time, he felt that someone could express the "stinky mouth" with elegance.

"There is also the wave of four packs and one in the bottom lane. I thought about it carefully. If I encountered the same situation next time, I might be able to live for two more seconds. I only avoided three of the four directional skills in that wave. If it wasn't for our blind monk's kick that messed up my Dao Heart, I would have been able to dodge the fourth one."

"What is this? This is experience. The next time I encounter a similar situation, even if my teammates try to control the other nine people on the field by flashing in place, I will be the one who is free from control."

After Li Luo's remarks, don't say that Abu is stupid, Xiaotian who is listening next to him is also stupid.

Xiao Tian privately thought that his brain circuits were already convoluted enough.

But compared to Li Luo, he looks like a child.

This is such an unforgettable experience after going through so much blood and fire? !

"alright."

Abby had nothing to say.

Xiaotian opened his mouth next to him: "Brother Luo, I'm a little confused now, and I need your guidance."

"please say."

Seeing Xiaotian's appearance, Li Luo felt amused, and said pretendingly serious.

"As a jungler, I also know the truth of helping the good and not helping the bad, but the problem now is that I will almost always meet teammates who are at a disadvantage in the three lanes. How can I help?"

Xiaotian asked a very distressing question.

"It's a simple question."

Li Luo still had a serious expression on his face. He stood up and went to the refrigerator in the training room to get a can of Bing Kuo Luo and said at the same time, "Help get the ticket."

Xiao Tian:……

The favorites never lack for training their opponents.

The problem of the poor ranking environment is gradually improving as the major teams have settled in South Korea.

The same is true for Li Luo.

When there are two to three heavyweight professional players in a match, even if someone sends it out clearly, there is still a chance to win the match.

Moreover, the number of five Chinese people lined up on one side has gradually increased.

Li Luo must be thankful that at this time he hasn't seen someone open in the top game of the Korean server, there may be, at least he hasn't encountered it very often.

The competition came as scheduled, and the finalists also followed.

Many teams among the top 32 will determine whether they can enter the top [-] through the play-in competition.

Everyone in EDG just watched the live broadcast of two or three play-in matches and stopped watching. It was enough to leave Abramovich alone to keep an eye on the few two or three teams that might enter Group A.

EDG will listen to Abramovich's summary of the use of the version by the major teams in the play-in competition at most at night.

Great cleverness, there are still some.

The strengthened promise hand in the World Championship version quickly completed its appearance in the play-in competition.

It's just that this appearance came and went faster.

When the opponent took out Urgot, another mainstream hero of S8, Nuo was brutally beaten during the laning phase.

The priority of Urgot's E skill is extremely high, and the characteristics of its W skill are too easy to stack the conqueror. When a hero can't beat another warrior hero when it is close to the face, then this hero is in the field It is conceivable how the effect will be in the game.

After that game, all the teams have learned to be good. It is impossible to pick a Nuo player. It is impossible in this life. This thing is too embarrassing when playing in a team. It is easy for people to play with it in the palm of their hands.

And when this hero is played with, he looks extremely stupid. When he thought that he would be ridiculed by a group of bronze and silver players as a dignified professional player, almost all the top laners subconsciously said "no" to Nuo Shou.

The schedule for the play-in rounds progressed quickly.

When the final four qualifying places are finalized, it is a matter of course for the audience that these four teams qualify.

G2, GEN, C9 and GRX.

When assigning groups, G2 had no way to be assigned to Group A because there was already a European team VIT in Group A, so GEN came to Group A first.

When they heard the news, everyone in GEN had complicated expressions.

Although... they knew that their team could only appear in Group A or Group D.

But compared to EDG, they are actually more willing to face the IG team in Group D.

However, they have nothing to say about the lottery. Although Chidi is a bit emo in his heart, the ambitious Anzhangmen and coreJJ are secretly competing.

Even mid laner Guan Guan sat up slightly and showed his fighting spirit.

Who did he face last year?

It's Rookie!

Rookie's laning pressure is so strong that it will be very difficult for him to resist the pressure.

In the eyes of Brother Crown, the elementary school boy is like a weakened version of Rookie.

No matter in terms of laning ability or game experience in his career, the younger brother is weaker than Rookie. Brother Crown is confident that he can... hold him back!

Cuvee in the top lane has relatively little pressure. He has also studied Jin Gong and knows that Jin Gong is a difficult player to break through, but correspondingly he also understands that Jin Gong will not cause him too much matchup pressure.

After all, Jin Gong's laning offensive is not strong enough, this is a fact.

As for the substitute jungler Haru, he is in a state of ignorance.

He won the World Championship last year and lost.

This year, Ahn's state has declined, and he has gradually become the team's starting jungler, and the number of starts has been much more than last year.

He was much younger, and the passion in his bones made him want to go and touch Li Luo, who crushed them last year.

……

"It's GEN."

In the EDG base, Li Luo, who heard the news, was no exception.

Now the four groups have been fully finalized.

Group A: EDG, VIT (No. [-] in Europe), MAD (No. [-] in Southeast Asia) GEN (No. [-] in South Korea)
Group B: KT (Korea No. [-]), TL (North America No. [-]), RNG (LPL No. [-]), GRX (Southeast Asia No. [-], Hong Kong team.)
Group C: FW (Southeast Asia No. 100), AFS (South Korea No. 2), [-] (North America No. [-]), G[-] (Europe No. [-])
Group D: FNC (No. 9 in Europe), IG (No. [-] in LPL), PVB (Vietnam), C[-] (No. [-] in North America)
On the whole, because of the addition of GEN, the situation in Group A has suddenly become anxious, with a smell of gunpowder.

GRX, the unlucky ones who joined Group B at the end, may be the team that has suffered the most misery in the group since the development of the S game.

Although they haven't played yet, the pressure put on them by the other players in the group is really too much, it's the kind of depressing.

Group C has a lot of suspense with the addition of G2. Although this group does not have a team from the LPL division, in the eyes of the audience, the situation in this group should be quite anxious.

In Group D, the suspense also increased rapidly with the addition of C9.

As the resident water ghost of the S game, it is not certain who C9 will pull into the water. After all, they are the leaders with the best record in North America.

The end of the play-in round means that the group stage is about to begin.

……

October [-]st.

It's a good day.

Busan, Convention and Exhibition Center.

This is not the first time for everyone from EDG to come to this venue.

But their second visit to this venue still only has two words.

mean.

The group stage venue in Busan is not big.

At least compared to the S7 group stage held in China last year, it is much, much smaller.

But everyone is here to play games, so they don't care about these things. As long as the Koreans don't unplug the network cable, everything will be fine.

When everyone in EDG arrived at the backstage lounge and started preparing for today's game, in the main stadium, the audience also began to enter the arena one after another with support from their favorite teams.

The venue was not big, but it was full of seats. About half an hour later, the official promotional video of S8 was officially played.

This means that the real world championship has entered the countdown.

Team after team, player after player appeared on the screen.

They spoke different languages ​​from all over the world, telling their career dreams and expectations for this World Finals.

In the promotional video of about 5 minutes, many heavyweight players appeared on the scene.

The penultimate shot is the scene where IG people return the World Cup trophy they won last year and put it in the center of the venue.

The audience took this picture for granted.

But what surprised many viewers was that the man never appeared.

When the melody of the S8 theme song RISE came to a climax, Li Luo's back slowly appeared on the big screen.

One after another wonderful shots appeared on the screen.

Seeing this ID, many Koreans showed complicated expressions in their eyes.

This promotional video was obviously shot by Riot headquarters itself.

Changing to Koreans specifies that they will not shoot like this.

Especially at the end, when Li Luo slowly turned around and stared at the trophy, the words that he said at the end of the promotional video for the S8 World Championship left a deep impression on countless people.

"My former team-mates gave the trophy back, but for me, it's just a temporary deposit."

"In a month, I'll get it back!"
