With the gradual development of League of Legends events, the audience can still be more and more satisfied in terms of the number of events.

However, compared to the large number of events, most viewers are relatively more willing to pay attention to the quality of the events.

Especially... unanimous external competitions.

During the LPL competition, fans of the major clubs are torn apart, and there is already a trend of developing the e-sports circle into a fan circle. The largest fan group is Li Luo's fan group, and there are many of them. Some bug-like characters are running around flailing.

This also led to Li Luo not doing anything at home, but the blame came directly from the sky. While the number of fans is still increasing, the number of black fans is also gradually increasing.

The reason why Li Luo was sprayed is relatively simple, either by using the team-mate grabbing line to divide the relationship between the Thorn Bird team, or by saying that "there is no tactical focus", so there is no Li Luo's remarks today.

Those idiotic fans' comments would give Li Luo a label of "can't manage his own fans".

Although Li Luo didn't care much about these remarks, it didn't mean that Li Luo was unaware of the potential threats these remarks might bring.

But Li Luo has nothing to do about it, he can only occasionally mention a few words about the positive performance of other players during the live chat, so that the black fans who pay attention to this part will be self-defeating.

Li Luo also talked about restraining fans, but Li Luo was pessimistic about whether it would be effective.

In this day and age, everything is missing, that is, there is no shortage of skewers.

High-level Chuanzi can often use the simplest way to lead people they want to black into the abyss.

In addition, the tight schedule does not allow Li Luo to be distracted and think about some messy things.

Before he fell into the altar, no matter how many black fans there are, compared with the group of true fans that Li Luo spent more than two years accumulating, it is still an egg hitting a stone.

It has been about a month since the start of the summer split.

So far, the Thorn Bird has not lost a big game except for two losses in a small game. This situation is somewhat similar to the dominance of last year's EDG period.

It's just that the repercussions of dominance brought by the Thorn Bird are relatively greater.

After all, the EDG team has rarely lost in the LPL league since the S4 period.

They have ruled the LPL for too long, so even if EDG's winning rate is more exaggerated after Li Luo went to EDG, it will not be able to bring more shock to the public.

But Li Luo's current team is an all-Chinese class that has just been formed for half a year!

The last all-China class that dominated the LPL division had to be the EDG team dating back to the S4 period.

As for the former dark force OMG, although it is the most promising all-China class of the first generation, and it is also the first all-China class to defeat a Korean team 3-0 in the World Championship, it is undeniable that there is no Chinese team in China. Those who can get the No. [-] seed in the S game are still a little far away from dominating the LPL.

Thorn Bird was not favored at the beginning of its establishment, and now it has successfully conquered a large number of audiences with its strength. Only the players, coaches and even management of Thorn Bird know the hardships along the way. 【

Li Luo is also quite fortunate that he has been able to maintain a complete victory in the summer games so far.

Although Li Luo didn't know what Abu was thinking, occasionally a sentence came to Li Luo's mind.

Luck is part of strength.

In addition to the hard bones of the IG team, the Thorn Birds encountered the strongest team during this period of time is FPX.

Benefiting from the version, FPX studied a tactical system with doinb as the core, and won five consecutive victories at the beginning of the summer split.

Thorn Bird almost lost to FPX.

Xiye's performance in the LPL can only be said to be above average, definitely not a top mid laner, so when facing doinb, it is difficult for Xiye to be like a left-handed, junior, Rookie and the like will doinb in the lane Period suppressed.

Xiye can't suppress doinb, doinb can swim, and once doinb swims, FPX's tactics can be perfectly executed.

Under this kind of execution, Li Luo endured the top-level pressure as if he had been in a lifetime, which resulted in his early development not being good.

If Hope hadn't been too young and played too aggressively after gaining an advantage, if Li Luo caught a wave of opportunities to cooperate with Xiangguo, this BO3 might really lose.

To put it bluntly, it is not smooth sailing for Thorn Bird to maintain a complete victory in the summer competition so far. There are also problems that need to be solved under the glamor.

At this time, the luck of belonging to the Thorn Bird team appeared.

Except for IG and FPX, the Thorn Birds faced relatively low-ranking teams in the early summer split.

It's the kind...even if you practice the lineup on this kind of team, with Thorn Bird's full online status, it is unlikely that you will lose to the opponent.

These opponents gave Thorn Bird a lot of time to develop, and the problem of insufficient version lineup practice caused by MSI events has gradually disappeared.

At this time, the summer schedule is not yet halfway through, but Thorn Bird has developed to a relatively excellent level.

Even in the second half of the game, the teams they will face are relatively strong, such as IG, which has not lost a game since losing the first game in the summer split, and EDG, which has become fierce in the summer split routine, or TOP, which still maintains a dark horse posture like the spring game, and JD.com, which ranks in the forefront with its solid tactics and team stability...

These opponents are evenly matched in terms of strength, and their styles are also different.

But the Thorn Birds didn't panic at all, they were ready for battle.

It's just that what Li Luo needs to face now is another problem.

Intercontinental competition.

The official promotional video of LPL has been filmed.

In this Asian competition, the Thorn Birds team will lead the team.

This is the slogan of the LPL division.

And this slogan is destined to make Thorn Bird the focus in the eyes of all players.

He, Li Luo, was in the center of the storm again.

Li Luo has a lot of confidence in the version and tactics of the intercontinental competition.

But Li Luo didn't have much confidence in whether he could win this intercontinental competition.

Although it is said that teams from four divisions participated together in the Asian competition, the audience knew that two divisions were just here to accompany them, and the final peak matchup had to be between South Korea’s LCK division and China’s LPL division. .

It has been a long time since the LPL division has aspired to the throne of the "World's No. [-] Division".

And the performance of the LPL division in the intercontinental competition last year was very good. At that time, Li Luo was in EDG, IG, which was as stable as an old dog and continued to exert strength, and RNG, the best state. Easy.

But this year...

Li Luo let out a breath slowly and rubbed his temples.

The four participating teams in this year's LPL are Thorn Bird, JD.com, FPX, and TOP.

These are the top four teams in the Spring Split.

In the current ranking of the regular season of the summer season, the top four teams are Thorn Bird, FPX, IG, and EDG.

JD.com and TOP are slightly behind.

But the overall strength is still online.

Li Luo also couldn't deny that when doing the tactical rehearsal in advance, even when they faced Jingdong and the top team, they didn't have an absolute chance of winning.

But when it comes to the intercontinental competition...

In a world-type event like this, mentality determines everything.

This is not to say that the strength of the team itself is not important.

But the level of the major teams will not actually have a big gap. When the gap is small, many objective factors will affect the overall direction of the game.

Is Jingdong's mentality good?
it is good.

But the problem is that their mentality is a bit too good.

Is FPX in a good mood?
In all fairness, with doinb around, theoretically this team should be Li Luo's most reassuring team, but when he thinks that FPX has sofm, Li Luo has reservations about whether FPX is reliable.

TOP...

As a young domestic dark horse team, what Li Luo can imagine is that if this team goes well in the first round of the intercontinental competition, then they are likely to go all the way to the end.

But if they were designed by the LCK in the first round and led to a disastrous defeat, with their self-adjustment ability, they will probably be worse in the knockout round.

The four teams in the LPL are all young teams!
Before the expedition, this problem has been exposed.

Normally, if there is an old strong team in a team, this team can easily become the backbone team of the other three teams.

But now among their four teams, can Thorn Bird become the backbone? FPX's coach Zhanma and TOP's coach White Crescent may be easier to communicate with. As a top Korean coach, can Hongmi integrate with their three domestic coaches?

Li Luo couldn't even think about many problems, and Li Luo's head had already started to grow.

And it's even harder when it comes to talking about opponents.

The four teams participating in the LCK division are SKT, Griffin, KZ, and DWG.

SKT was a little sluggish at the beginning of the summer split, but now it has quickly adjusted its state.

Griffin is jokingly called the little top among many LPL audiences, but whether they are stronger or weaker than top, many audiences naturally have a scale in their hearts.

Since KZ lost Khan, the whole team seems to be reborn...Of course, the rebirth here only existed in Li Luo's memory of the S9 intercontinental competition. If Li Luo remembers correctly, KZ won both games and was abandoned by SKT The abandoned son Cuzz also played brilliantly.

Finally, there is the DWG dubbed the Big Turtle.

DWG's five juniors at this time happened to be the champion team of the S10 World Championship before Li Luo's rebirth.

This team may still be a little immature now, but its edge has gradually emerged.

Such four teams...

Variables, all variables.

Soon, it was the day of the expedition.

Under the official arrangement of the LPL, the four teams, the coaching staff and the accompanying staff took a flight to Seoul, South Korea.

That's right, this time LPL will play away against LCK and teams between LMS and VCS in South Korea.

Players from each team greeted each other before boarding the plane.

For Li Luo, there were almost no familiar players in these three teams.

If you have to say it, hope counts as one.

Fortunately, doinb is familiar with himself, and last year RW was one of the participating teams in the S8 Intercontinental Competition. With doinb's inhuman enthusiasm, the players quickly became one with each other. Let's chat.

at the same time.

The LCK division is also in full swing.

Fans have long made comments about this intercontinental competition on Korean forums.

In contrast, domestic trolls, when faced with their home team's poor performers, at most use the keyboard to do a wave of craft work.

But there are not a few extreme trolls in South Korea.

Some said that they wanted to go to the grass near the club with a knife to learn how to crouch from Tyrone, and some directly drove a self-destruct truck into the base.

Compared with these extremes, some hopeful Korean fans believe that this year is the most promising year for South Korea.

This intercontinental competition will be the beginning of their turn from bad to good!
The four teams that Korean fans have placed high hopes on have started training in the same place a few days ago.

The class gap in South Korea is very stark.

When the chairman of the e-sports association issued a death order, the coaches of the four Korean teams began to unite.

Kkoma naturally became the person in charge on this front.

This is not the first time he has been in charge of the front line.

After having failed experience, Kkoma has summed up a lot and is fully prepared for this intercontinental competition.

He didn't ask the coaches of each team to share tactics.

Because of this, the coaches of the teams, who were a little bit repelled, eased up a lot, and began to cooperate with Kkoma's scheduling more and more in training.

Kkoma did not study the Thorn Bird team at all this time.

He put all his attention on the remaining three teams in the LPL.

The competition system of the intercontinental competition is like this. In the confrontation between the divisions, if a team cannot have more than two reliable teams, no matter how sharp their spears are, it will not help!
Besides, they may not be unable to defeat the Thorn Bird.

This time the LCK is in full swing, and it is bound to revive the glory of the LCK!
……

The level of preparation the LCK has done so far is far from enough.

First of all, the network environment of the residence provided by the event organizer for the LPL competition area fluctuates severely.

In this country where the average pin value of playing LOL is less than 10, such a situation will appear, which is a bit outrageous.

However, what is even more exaggerated is that due to the chain reaction caused by network fluctuations, the accounts of players who were offline in the rank were banned one after another.

In terms of the attitude of lifting the ban, South Korea is still "accumulated" as before, but the number of bans is increasing. On the first day alone, some players were banned twice.

In such a situation, doinb was angry and cursed in the training room, even speaking his native language.

Li Luo's mentality is fine.

After all, you should be mentally prepared before you come.

That's Daehan.

Fortunately, Principal Wang arranged a new training place for the players through money ability that night, so that the players could be temporarily stable.

However, this stability will not last long.

The LPL schedule is tighter than the LCK, which is destined to delay the training time for the four LPL teams for this event.

When everyone arrived in Seoul, it was less than a week before the start of the match.

Time is running out!
