League of Rattles

Chapter 164 The Intercontinental Tournament Begins

"Hello, Dalian, welcome all summoners and friends to gather together and watch the 2018 Intercontinental Asia Tournament."

"Hi everyone, I am the host Ren Dong!"

"This July, in the beautiful coastal city of Dalian, twelve teams from three divisions gathered together. Let us welcome team representatives to the stage."

"First of all, SKT representing the LCK!"

"Welcome Faker!"

As the host Ren Dong spoke, Fei Ke's figure slowly appeared.

"Next, I will invite someone from the LMS division..."

……

"Next, please invite the RNG team to represent the LPL division, and please invite UZI!"

After hearing the familiar name, there was a huge burst of cheers at the scene.

"Please invite the EDG team representing the LPL division, and please invite Clearlove7!"

The appearance of the famous pig and dog on the same stage is a tearful event for fans.

Especially in the summer game, the factory manager never played a game.

Although his fans are self-deceiving, the director is the secret weapon.

But you can tell by looking at the number of times he played. How can there be a secret weapon like this?
RNG's Spicy Hot Pot also rarely played, but when he played, he was always able to turn the tide. This is the real secret weapon.

And the factory manager... Even if he doesn't want to admit it, it is inevitable that the hero will be late.

For e-sports players, he is already very old, and he has no advantage compared with young players.

For the fans, they know very well that the factory manager's game is one less game, so they cherish it very much.

It's just that the factory manager rarely broadcasts live broadcasts. Basically, except for playing games, it is difficult to see him.

He didn't play in the summer split, and he hasn't seen him for a long time after the spring split finals.

It was of course a very happy thing to see him appearing at this time.

"Next is the IG team representing the LPL division. Their representative is the FMVP owner of last year's global finals. Simple!"

Twelve representatives of twelve teams gathered together.

LCK's KZ, SKT, KT, AFS.

LPL's RNG, IG, EDG, RW.

FW, M17, MAD, GRX of LMS.

After introducing the twelve teams, the next step is for all the players to appear on the stage.

It's just that when the LMS players appeared on the stage, there were very few voices from the audience.

It was really disgusting last year.

The LPL won the championship, but the audience almost left, without any respect, and it was ashamed to be thrown abroad.

The player comments on the extranet are like two countries.

And the opening ceremony of the Intercontinental Tournament was exactly where RNG faced off against FW.

That is, Casa's old club.

Before the start of the game, everyone felt that RNG could easily win this game.

After all, the strength shown by RNG over the past year has been terrifying.

Having just won the MSI championship, everyone naturally felt that they could win.

This is not the fanciful confidence of domestic audiences, but everyone at home and abroad thinks so.

This time RNG has banned Swain, Sword Girl, Pig Girl, Morgana, Nuoshou!
I chose Qinggangying, Galio, Tahm, Kai'Sa, and Mondo!
And FWban dropped Luo, Zoe, Rock Sparrow, Ashe, EZ!

Vampire, Scorpion, Pike, Iron Man, Captain are chosen!
(The version is updated, the World Championship is available, and the domestic league version is generally later than the next door.)
RNG chose a traditional lineup that is biased towards maintaining AD output, while FW chose a lineup that favors the mid-term rhythm.

Looking at the choices of both sides, at the beginning, a group of LPL players felt that RNG could easily end the game.

After all, UZI's Kai'Sa has been released.

At the beginning of the game, RNG chose a line-changing lineup, but the opponent was obviously prepared for it. The three of them took the lead and chose to push down the bottom tower first.

In the mid-term, FW used the advantages of its own lineup to continuously snowball and accumulate the advantages of Xiaolong.

Although Qinggangying found opportunities to start a group many times, targeting the captain of the opponent, but with little success.

As time goes by, FW's lineup is obviously more dominant in frontal team battles.

After annihilating many people, FW ended the game in a wave.

FW, successfully won the first game of the Intercontinental Championship.

After the game ended, the audience on the scene and online were immediately dumbfounded.

No one thought that RNG would lose.

The expectations were too high at the beginning, and the result was even more unacceptable.

At this time, the expression on LCK's side is also very subtle.

In the beginning, they naturally regarded RNG as their formidable enemy.

After all, RNG defeated them strongly last year and won the championship of the finals.

At MSI, I stepped on them to win the championship again.

But I didn't expect that I would lose to FW in the opening match.

Before I had time to think about it, the people from IG went straight to the game.

This time, they are facing off against M17.

M17ban dropped Draven, Ashe, Zoe, Jace, Enchantress!
I chose Pig Girl, Swain, Niutou, Bingniao, Nuo Shou!

IG banned Qinggangying, Nightmare, Rock Sparrow, Yasuo, and Daomei!
I chose Sword Demon, Wine Barrel, Ryze, and Lucian Ganami.

IG chose a traditional shooter lineup, while M17 chose a lineup that favors close combat.

At the beginning of the game, the new version of Sword Demon completely suppressed Nuoshou in the top lane. After the wine barrel helped GANK once, Sword Demon completely took off. After Brother Sun's Sword Demon got up, it was totally unreasonable.

Although in the mid-term, there was a wave of small groups in the river, two IGs were killed in battle, and they fell into a disadvantage, but the sword demon took down the first blood tower on the road.

In the mid-term, Ryze went around and cooperated with his teammates to kill the two opponents and take down the big dragon.

In the face of the huge equipment gap, IG easily defeated the opponent and won the game.

IG, successfully won the game.

Healed from injury and returned to the game again, Brother Sun's strength is still very terrifying.

Especially the sword demon that has just been revised, in his hands, it is almost tailor-made.

Brother Sun came back, and simply paddled for a while.

Needless to say, this feeling is very good.

The combination of Nami and Lucian directly blows up the opponent's bottom lane, which is very unreasonable.

The gap in personal hard power is so huge that the opponent has no way to resist at all.

In the end, the Sword Demon, who descended from the gods to the world with one hammer, successfully won the MVP.

Simplicity did not win the Parker he was thinking of.

He knew very well that if he took it out at this time, he would have no chance to get it later.

This is naturally not what he wants to see.

Then EDG easily won AFS, and the junior Zoe took off.

The Xia team RW met KT and lost miserably.

The LPL, which is vaguely known as the first division, actually won a two-bar two on the first day of the game, which is naturally unacceptable to many people.

The Xia team's failure was within their expectations, but RNG's failure was really unacceptable.

That day, there was no small rhythm.

On the first day, the LCK, which had a record of three bars and one, had the last laugh.

It's just that the next day, the four LPL teams exploded and won four consecutive victories.

With a record of six bars and two, he directly entered the finals.

Yes, after two days of knockout matches, the LPL side directly advanced to the finals as No.1.

The other two divisions will play the semi-finals on the third day, that is, tomorrow, July 5th, and a BO[-] will determine the other list of the finals.

Here is a mention, during the intercontinental competition, each team will play in the semi-finals and finals, and only in the fifth round can you assign teams at will.

On July [-]th, the LPL took a break directly.

Some people go to the game.Some people also took a stroll in Dalian.

Of course, there are also those who stay in the hotel and continue training.

Now that it's a holiday, Jian Jian went out to play and relax.

Since May, he has been training and competing, and he really doesn't have much leisure time.

Auntie is obviously very busy as the face-to-face, and she doesn't have time to accompany Jian Jian at all.

But simply asked sister Zhou directly, and turned her into a dumb bride, unable to say a word.

All that was left was grunting and rolling his eyes.

Knowing the simplicity of the result, he naturally didn't care about this day's game.

The strength gap between the two sides is too great.

In the end, the LCK directly won the LMS [-]-[-] and advanced to the finals.

The strength gap between the two sides is too great, and it is over without letting all four LCK teams play.

This result is not surprising.

In the intercontinental competition itself, LMS is actually just to accompany the prince to study, and the real main force is the other two.

It would be strange if the LCK was overthrown.

As a coastal city, Jian Jian ate a lot of seafood and abalone here.

Abalone is delicious.

Fat and juicy, wonderful.

Sister Zhou accompanied Jian Jian to eat seafood together, and finally she was full. She had no choice but to not want to waste it, so she called for support directly and called all her good sisters in line with the idea of ​​not letting the fat and water flow to outsiders.

Simple and fine with that.

With whom to eat or not?
Just don't waste it.

After eating the seafood, he returned to the hotel contentedly.

It can only be said that the seafood here in Dalian is really good.

After the attribute solidified, his appetite was very big, and it was commendable to be able to eat all at once.

After returning to the hotel, since there was no training match, they basically practiced by themselves, or played ranked to maintain their feel.

Simply playing ranked to [-] o'clock, a wave of winning streak came, it didn't feel too much.

Ever since his stats had improved and he was guided by the dotted line, he was like a ghost in the rankings.

As long as you don't meet particularly outrageous teammates, or have an actor playing him, it is basically difficult to lose.

He's not stupid in the rankings, so of course he won't get support for higher scores.

When you are at a disadvantage, the support is really helpless, and the initiative is not in your hands at all.

Simplicity wants to keep everything in its own hands.

So the middle field is the easiest to win.

Now there is a word.

You can't win even when encountering simplicity, how good are you?

Basically, as long as you don't stretch too much and your teammates are normal, even if there is a gap in strength between the two sides, there is simplicity, and basically you can't lose.

The simplicity at this time is to truly control the thunder and lightning in the king's game.

Regardless of national or Korean clothing.

In recent days, the canyon has been turbulent.

With the start of the Intercontinental Tournament, these professional players from other divisions entered the canyon, and there were naturally a group of masters in the high-end game.

But these people are also sanctioned when they encounter simplicity.

As strong as Feike, he was easily suppressed in the mid-lane duel.

Simple laning is not an opponent.

But he went for a walk and came back with a few head assists on his body.

Or go into the jungle area, catch the jungler to death, and face him, Feike will find that he can't beat this person.

It's just so magical.

In order to enhance the efficiency of earning points, it is simple to call one number to the top [-] kings, then change the number and continue playing.

After the ranking is high, it is not easy to get in line, so it is better to change the number and start playing from diamond again.

So many people found that the current kings are very difficult to win, and those previous kings have been squeezed out.

In fact, they are all simple trumpets that went up, and then pushed them down.

After the strength is improved, the game can be ended quickly, which slightly increases the efficiency of simply getting points.

But that's all.

A person's energy is limited, and after all, he can only control one account. He is full of energy, and the time of playing every day can be extended, and the efficiency can be increased, but other than that, there is nothing else.

This day is just a very ordinary day. Everyone is busy with their own affairs, and then rests according to their own biological clocks.

The simple biological clock is different from others on IG.

Others basically don't end the game until two or three o'clock, or train, and then play the game for a while, it may be four or five o'clock.

Only get up in the afternoon.

The simple thing is that I basically start to rest around twelve o'clock.

But although the schedule is different, it doesn't really affect anything.

The training games usually start from the afternoon to the evening prime time.

It didn't say that they were still playing training games at [-] or [-] o'clock.

When not playing scrims, basically everyone plays their own games.

Therefore, the simple routine is different from them and does not affect anything.

Every day when they were still sleeping soundly, Jian Jian had already woken up, did morning exercises, and after washing up, did basic training, and then played ranking.

The schedule is full.

It's not like other people who basically sit in front of the computer all day.

Even during the intercontinental competition, Jian Jian didn't change his habit.

On April [-]th, he woke up at five o'clock in the morning.

There is no club gym, and all kinds of fitness equipment. Simply get up and go for a run, then return to the hotel, take a shower, and turn on the computer for basic training.

Even though his attributes are solidified, he still does all kinds of training every day to maintain his touch and muscle memory.

It's just so simple and strange, when he is doing all kinds of training, because of the solidification of attributes, he can feel that he has become stronger.

Logically speaking, it is obvious that he has become stronger, and his attributes should be improved.

But the attribute has never been improved, it can only be increased with points.

Simply don't know how it works.

It is guessed that only after one's total attributes reach sixty can one understand this.

It's just that he was a little apprehensive.

I worry about what will change after I reach sixty.

His performance is so good now, to a large extent, he mainly relies on the dotted line, so he can only let it go temporarily.

Since the improvement in strength can be felt, it is not that important whether the attribute improvement is still not improved.

Because of this, he has been doing basic training.

This is not useless work, but a real improvement.

Busy and busy, time passed quickly.

Jian Jian had already eaten and drank enough, and played a five-game winning streak with the trumpet. At this time, Ah Shui and the others started to cheer.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death!"

Ah Shui, with blurred eyes, saw Jian Jian alone in the queue, and approached him.

"You bastard, once you hit the ranks, it's like something."

"Dad isn't fierce in the competition? When did I miss you?"

Simply focus on the operation without looking back.

"Comfortable!"

On the screen, it ended with five kills by Nuo Shou.

The guillotine's five consecutive cuts are the same as Pike's five consecutive cuts, which are very comfortable.

After five kills, he quickly flattened the opponent's base and saw Ah Shui eating Kabaka with a bag of snacks.

"Eat snacks on an empty stomach, and you won't be afraid of stomach problems."

Simply rolled his eyes.

"Bring it to you, Dad is doing it for your own good!"

As he said that, he snatched the snacks from Ah Shui's hand and ate them by himself unceremoniously.

"You guys, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of."

Ah Shui doesn't care.

"Heh, you little rookie, what do you compare with Dad? Dad's abs are enough for you to practice for a few years!"

Simply came the contempt of a king.

"you……"

He took another bag of snacks and just tore them apart. Hearing this, Ah Shui suddenly felt that it didn't taste good.

The simple figure is really beyond his comparability.

"Also, I ate snacks, that's when I ate. How can you be on an empty stomach?"

"What can I do if I don't eat snacks to pad my stomach?"

Ah Shui was helpless.

"You think everyone is like you!"

Speaking of this, Ah Shui was full of envy.

In order to maintain their responsiveness, they didn't dare to eat at all during the game, or they didn't dare to be too late. They always took snacks, chocolates and the like to pad their stomachs.

Dare to eat after the game is over.

But simplicity doesn't have this problem at all, and it's not affected at all when it should be eaten.

Back then, the five members of WE just starved all day and played games for ten hours.

There was an eight-hour pause in between.

For professional players, reaction is very important.

So even if they are hungry, they must keep their reactions at the most sensitive state.

After Ah Shui got up, other people got up one after another.

Clean up, eat some bread, snacks or something to fill your stomach, it is considered a meal.

After a little rest, turn on the computer, practice, and warm up your hands, you basically need to go to the venue.

For their choice, they simply disagree, but there is no other way.

In order to achieve results, sometimes some sacrifices cannot be avoided.

Just like training, sitting in front of the computer for more than ten hours a day is prone to occupational diseases after a long time.

Like a puppy's hand injury, it was born out of life.

But if you want to chase your dreams on this road, then this is inevitable.

Of course nothing can be said about simplicity.

E-sports, strength speaks.

Others only see their brilliance on stage, but they can't see the hard work and sweat behind them.

This is true of any industry.

If you want to be famous in front of others, you have to suffer in the future.

How can there be flowers and applause without doing anything?
