LOL: This man is too persuasive!

Chapter 433 Autumn Trip to Busan

"KTX is about to arrive at Platform 4 of Busan Station."

KTX is the high-speed rail of Dahan Ming Kingdom.

The Group A match ended yesterday, and everyone in EDG bought KTX tickets from Gwangju to Ohsong and then to Busan overnight.

The high-speed rail in Dahan Mingguo was opened in 2004. Therefore, even the special class carriages have a far inferior experience than the domestic first-class seats.

Due to the need to transfer from the KTX Hunan Line to the Qingquan Line, the originally two and a half hour drive actually took nearly three hours.

"It's less than 200 kilometers, it took almost three hours." Mala Xiangguo carried his suitcase and pressed his peaked cap and complained: "It's better to just take the bus!"

Pigeon, pigeon, pigeon, pigeon
After twisting his neck, Mala Xiangguo's spine made a crisp sound.

Obviously, KTX gave him a bad riding experience, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Be considerate and considerate."

"The construction of their high-speed rail started in the last century. Even the latest line is 14 years old."

"In this era of technological explosion, versions are updated too fast."

Abramovich was in a good mood because EDG qualified with six consecutive victories as the first in the group!
“Just think of it as experiencing the local special culture!”

"The next World Championship will be held in the Great Cold Country. I don't know when it will be."

"That's right." Mala Xiangguo shook his head.

He was born in 96 and is 22 years old this year.

Referring to the retirement dates of other e-sports players, Mala Xiangguo knows that he may have to bid farewell to the competition for another two years at most.

Two years
The dimension is too short. It is obvious that Riot cannot hold the S9 and S10 World Championships in the Great Cold Kingdom.

"How was everyone's fall?"

“The perfect time to enjoy the fall foliage will be next week.”

"Everyone can see that the red leaves have decorated the entire city."

“The blue sea and red leaves make Busan uniquely charming.”

"The temperature is neither too high nor too low."

“Great weather for walking”

Jiang Zhun's attention was not focused on the exchange between Mala Xiangguo and Abu.

After he took off his headphones, his eyes naturally looked at the large advertising screen above the LED screen of the car in front of him.

At this moment, the billboard is not playing an advertisement, but a female host is promoting Busan.

As she said, it is indeed a good season to travel.

With the League of Legends World Championship being held in the Great Cold Kingdom, flights to here are now sold out.

When they were riding the high-speed train just now, Jiang Zhun and others even met many foreign students and domestic special forces college students.

"I'm going to skip school on Friday afternoon, take a leave of absence on Monday morning, and go abroad casually for four days?"

These are the exact words of an EDG college student fan.

Yes, as long as you apply for the visa in advance, it will be OK.

Not to mention, some countries are visa-free.

"Let me tell you, these plastic surgery faces look really good with hydrated skin." The director didn't know when he stood next to Jiang Zhun, and followed Jiang Zhun's gaze and focused on the female host.

"What is she talking about?"

"Well, autumn is here."

Although Jiang Zhun can speak Korean, he has not used it for too long. He can understand the general meaning of the female host's words, but it is quite difficult to repeat the original words.

Facing Jiang Zhun's concise summary, the factory director was stunned for a moment.

Then he recalled the fiery red leaf forest in the video and the average temperature for the coming week of 24 degrees displayed on the side, and he came back to his senses. Jiang Zhun was not being sentimental, but translated the female host's words to him.

"Having said that, the temperature has indeed dropped very quickly these days. It's a bit chilly in the morning and evening. It's hard to cope without a coat."

The factory director subconsciously shrugged his shoulders, and then said something incomprehensible:
"Autumn is here, and the little tiger is about to wilt. According to the rules, this guy Cuvee should be getting stronger, right?"

"According to metaphysics, this is indeed the case." Jiang Zhun couldn't help but smile.

"The second round of confrontation between RNG and Samsung should begin."

The factory director slapped his head and quickly started the live broadcast on his mobile phone.

Generally speaking, during the World Championship, each team must follow Riot's unified arrangements and move to various cities.

However, due to changes in this year’s group stage schedule, Riot Games allowed each qualifying team to travel to Busan in advance at their own expense.

Of course, if the team does not want to pay their own expenses, they can wait until the Group D group stage is over and take the bus arranged by Riot Games.

By winning the championship last year, EDG made a big comeback.

In addition, EDG is not like the WE team who need to go for a meal after the game. The wealthy Ed Zhu reluctantly spent the price of a glass of wine to let the club's training team find a training base in Busan in advance.

In this way, EDG can train with peace of mind after finishing the group stage, and its time has many advantages compared to the teams in the BCD group.

Moreover, since the knockout rounds and semi-finals are all held in Busan, EDG rents the training venue for half a month!

Now we are heading to Busan in advance, and after cooperating with Riot’s photographers to capture the materials needed for the knockout promotional video, we can prepare for the game wholeheartedly.

"Why is it different from what I imagined?" The factory director was a little disappointed after entering the live broadcast room of the League of Legends World Championship.

The game between RNG and Samsung has come to an end.

It was a complete crush.

It only took RNG 26 minutes to bulldoze Samsung's three-way high ground.

"A big dragon directly gets 6100 yuan of economy?"

"This is really an exaggeration."

"Samsung doesn't even want to defend the defense tower."

"Too bad I still expect it to wither and falter."

The factory owner was disappointed.

And Jiang Zhinan asked with a smile: "How is Xiaohu's record?"

"4-0-7, pretty good."

"It's really strange. Autumn has already arrived."

The factory director continued to play tricks.

Jiang Zhenli continued: "It's normal, the hostess just said that next week is the best time to see the red leaves in autumn."

"Let's go to the knockout rounds and see Xiaohu's performance."

"If he can still hold up in the knockout rounds, I can only say that this fall will be a bit abnormal."

Walking out of the high-speed rail station, EDG's training team had already arranged for vehicles to be waiting.

Abu is very satisfied with this.

With many years of team leadership experience, he knows that sometimes the quality of logistics can directly affect the team's performance.

While other teams were still suffering from the pain of the group stage, EDG was able to comfortably review the game in the training base while discussing and studying the next knockout rounds.

Even though the draw results for the knockout rounds have not yet come out, as long as they are well prepared, there should be no need to worry based on EDG's overall strength.

"Aren't we going to cooperate with our fists to collect materials tomorrow?"

"After everyone goes to the base today to study the group matches of Group B, we will take a half-day vacation."

"There will be no more days off after that."

"Everyone can play whatever they want. Busan is close to the sea and the scenery is pretty good."

"The only thing you need to pay attention to is not to eat anything outside." "If any of you end up in the hospital because of eating a bowl of beef noodles, and then affect the team's performance, I will really get mad."

Abu was talking and laughing, and the others couldn't help but shake their heads after hearing this.

Obviously, everyone in EDG does not have much psychological pressure.

……

Two days later, the second round of the group stage in Group D was completed, and the group stage was completely over.

The qualifying teams for each group are determined:

Group A: First EDG team, second C9 team
Group B: RNG first, Samsung second

Group C: First team KT, second team G2
Group D: First FNC team, second IG team
After the RNG club learned that the EDG club had rented a training base at its own expense, it was not willing to compare the differences. It also rented a house for special training next to the hotel arranged by Busan Riot.

But what worries everyone is that there are some problems with the house's network.

Every time between 7:00 and 12:00 in the evening, network fluctuations will become very large.

This directly affects the players' Rank.

Fortunately, after Group D came to Busan, RNG could take over the hotel floor with its fist after joining.

Otherwise, if this situation continues for a while, I'm sure Uzi will go crazy.

After all, this is related to the results of the World Championship!

It is no longer just as simple as the LPL league.

The last game of Group D is the showdown between Afs and FNC.

If FNC wins the game, they will qualify with the same name.

If Afs wins the game, the records of the three teams IG, FNC, and AFs will be exactly the same, and Group D will play a playoff.

Fortunately, FNC did not perform abnormally in the game, and defeated AFS relatively easily, confirming the top spot in the group.

The AFS team is also the first team to be eliminated from the host LCK division.

This is quite unexpected.

After all, the performance of the KT team and AFs team in the summer playoffs can be said to be off-season.

Compared with these two teams, the Samsung team should be the team that was eliminated.

But the reality is so cruel. The AFS team, which is stronger than the Samsung team, can only go home in the top 16 due to the lottery grouping.

"Luck is also part of strength!"

"Draw C9 or G2, don't punish IG for us!"

Everyone in RNG did not feel sorry for the AFS team being eliminated. All their attention was focused on Bang at the moment.

Yes, he is the guest of the knockout draw.

Uzi did not show much concern for this old opponent who had defeated him more than once in the World Championship, but focused all his attention on the small ball in his hand.

Because this small ball determines the team RNG will face in the knockout round.

Although in the league this year, except for the RNG team that lost to the IG team in the first show of the spring split, the rest of the games, whether it was Bo3 or Bo5, defeated the IG team.

However, no one in RNG who watched the lottery ceremony wanted to draw this IG team.

It's not that they don't want to meet the teams in the LPL division, but the strength shown by the IG team is the strongest among the second-place qualifying teams.

In addition, whether it was the spring playoffs or the summer playoffs, the RNG team always played BO5 with the IG team, and finally won the game with a 3:2 record.

Therefore, RNG does not want its knockout opponent to be IG.

"C9!"

"C9!"

"G2!"

"G2!"

Seeing Bang unscrewing the ball in his hand on the screen, and then taking out the note with the team logo printed on it, covering it with his hand and taking a look in advance, everyone in RNG couldn't help but become nervous.

In the entire room, apart from the sound of the air conditioner blowing air, the only sounds were the players whispering softly from the two European and American teams.

The barrages in the LPL official live broadcast room are also constantly being refreshed:

[Hey, let Samsung escape by chance. If they don't meet in the group stage, there will be no avoidance principle in the same group. In this way, according to the order of the draw just now, our RNG opponent will be Samsung]

[What the hell, how come there are only two Great Cold Underworld teams this year, and Europe and the United States can enter three teams? ! 】

[It made me laugh. The first and second seeds in the North American division all packed up and left, but C9, the third seed, persisted. 】

[Hey, I know that EDG, RNG, and IG can all enter the knockout rounds. This year is the year when our LPL has the best chance of winning the championship! 】

[EDG and RNG are already in the two halves and will not meet before the finals. It is no longer important whether the IG team will fight a civil war. 】

[Haha, you guys are a bit funny. I watched the group stage matches and IG did not perform worse than RNG, right? 】

【Not worse than RNG? Then why does RNG6-0 qualify first in the group, but your IG can only qualify second in the group? 】

[Draw C9 or G2, so RNG can enter the semi-finals again! 】

【…】

In the anticipation of countless people, RNG's opponent in the knockout round was finally announced.

Bang slowly presented the note in his hand in front of the camera.

I saw an old goat's target appear.

"G2!!"

"RNG's opponent in the knockout round will be the third seed G2 from the European Division!"

The on-site commentators, Guan Zeyuan and Anhui Liu, were the fastest. They knew the results of the draw immediately and couldn't help but roar.

For them, as long as RNG doesn't draw IG, it's a good draw.

"Stable!" Guan Zeyuan shouted.

At the same time, the room where the RNG players were located fell into a brief silence.

Xiaohu's reaction speed was very fast. After seeing the G2 logo, he danced for the first time. At the same time, Casa sitting next to him also had a subtle smile on his lips.

However, the two of them didn't make too much noise.

While raising his hands, Xiaohu observed that Uzi, who was drinking fruit tea, did not move at all.

After hesitating for half a second, he quietly put his hands on his legs.

But the next moment, Uzi twisted the chair under him and clapped happily.

Seeing this, Xiaohu's smile immediately bloomed.

Casa couldn't help but celebrate with Shi Senming, Zhizi and others.

"The top four are here!"

Coach Heart is equally happy.

Of course, everyone in RNG did not celebrate for too long. They quickly returned their attention to the TV in front of them.

Because, the final team that IG team and EDG team will battle has not been determined yet!

"The opponent KT will face is"

Bang picked up another ball.

The stick audience at the scene all clasped their hands and silently prayed that it would not be the Samsung team.

After all, AFS was eliminated in the group stage.

If the knockout rounds lead to another civil war in the LCK division, then this year's top four LCK will only have one lone seed left.

The probability of winning the championship is too low!
