my name is blitz

The night of the end of the national server summer semi-finals, 7 o'clock sharp. .

Two announcements were posted on the homepage of the official forum. One was naturally about the results of the semi-finals of the national server professional league and the list of the two qualifying teams. Regarding this point, the national server players who had already watched the game live in the afternoon did not know what to do. No more attention was given.

Dark Night-dk and Team Hope, they already knew about it!

What really caught everyone's attention was the content of the second announcement——

"Notice on the Schedule of the World All-Star Game and the Postponement of the National Server Finals".

First of all, this All-Star event officially kicked off two days later. There are seven top teams participating in the event, each from the seven major servers of the League of Legends.

The North American team, the South American team, the Southeast Asian team, the European team, the Japanese team, the Korean team, and the Chinese team as the organizer of this event.

Among them, the teams recognized as the strongest and most competitive are naturally the representative teams of the four major servers of North America, Europe, South Korea and China.

As for South America, Southeast Asia... and even the Japanese team, all the players know it well, these are basically just to make up the numbers.

For example, the South American team, only one team qualified for the World Finals last season, and then they knelt down all the way, holding a zero record, and ran back to their own server in despair.

As for the Southeast Asian team, during the World Finals, many players from the national server had their performance on the Southeast Asian server human fleshed out. That scene... can only be described as "terrible".

In the end, this Japanese team is even more unpopular than the previous two. The Japanese server was only opened until this season. It has not experienced several seasons of training and accumulation like other national servers. It is suitable for ordinary players and even professional players. The level of strength can be imagined.

But for this point, the majority of national server players gloated:

Good guy, now you can beat devils in the game!

A group of guys who probably just learned how to insert wards, if they are met by our national server All-Star team, they will be beaten to a head count of one to two hundred to zero?

Thinking about it, I still have a little expectation~!

As for the schedule, on the opening day, there will be a single-lane duel first, with jungle in the morning and mid lane in the afternoon; top lane in the morning and bottom lane in the afternoon. The teams take turns playing against each other.

From the third day of the All-Star Game, it will be the highlight of the team 5v5 mode competition.

Seven All-Star teams, the schedule is that one of the teams will have a bye in the first round, and the remaining six representative teams will eliminate half of them in two-to-two duels. The remaining four teams will have a second round on the next day. The two teams battle it out.

It is precisely because of this arrangement that the national service professional league finals originally scheduled for two days later were postponed to a week later, that is, the night after the end of the All-Star Game.

Such a lengthy and cumbersome schedule introduction text, the majority of national server players just glanced at it for a few times and then looked away.

What they really care about is the content of the last paragraph of the official announcement of the All-Star Game——

The specific arrangements for the group confrontation of the seven All-Star teams!

There is no need to watch the one-line duel in the first two days, just swipe down on the virtual light screen to the bottom.

The group duel tree-like information of the 5v5 mode game caught the eyes of all national server players in the first place.

[The first round bye team of the All-Star Game: North American team]

[Group A: Korean team vs Japanese team. 】

[Group b: Chinese team vs Southeast Asian team. 】

[Group c: South American team vs European team. 】

It's so clear, it's clear at a glance.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement. In the first round of the All-Star Game, none of the four strongest teams from North America, South Korea, China and Europe met each other.

The North American team had the best luck and directly advanced to the second round with a bye.

South Korea meets Japan, China meets Southeast Asia, Europe meets South America...

It was a game in which three groups could guess the result with their toes.

According to this grouping arrangement, once the Chinese All-Star team defeats the Southeast Asian team in the first round, they will meet the European team in the second round. If they win two rounds in a row, they will advance to the final...

Then the team that may be encountered in the end is the Korean team!

The Korean All-Star team with three "god-level" players!

The vast number of national server players are quite satisfied with the grouping arrangement of this schedule-the difficulty is from low to high. First practice with Southeast Asians, then play two games with Europeans to improve their status, and finally go to the Korean club full of energy! !

perfect!

……

For a while, the entire national server was caught up in heated discussions about the upcoming All-Star game.

The major game media in the country also caught wind of the news, and timely launched interview and comment programs one after another, inviting a group of national server professional players and well-known popular commentators to analyze and predict the upcoming All-Star Game.

Among them, the most authoritative and popular on-demand interview video was produced by startv.

In this video, Luoyang and Taozi, the main commentators of startv, are the hosts, and Huaniaofengyue and Watcher are invited as the interview guests. The lineup is quite luxurious.

The content of the four people's discussions naturally focused on various aspects of the All-Star event, such as the specific rules of the event, the strength comparison between the national service representative team and other All-Star teams, and the prediction of the outcome of the event.

As the star players of last season's All-Star game, Huaniao Fengyue and Watcher know all the details of this game, and shared many interesting anecdotes from last season's game. The server players listened with gusto.

When talking about the analysis of the strength of the All-Star teams in this competition and the prediction of the results of the competition, Huaniao Fengyue gave such an answer:

"In the 5v5 mode, everyone should know the list of the semi-finalists who will advance to the second round. Our four teams from the national server, European server, Korean server, and North American server must have no suspense."

"In the second round against the European teams, the most important thing to watch out for is of course their mid laner gleam, who is also recognized as the oldest 'god level' in the world. You must know that gleam is not just an ice bird who can play well. His other The mid laner hero is definitely the best in the world—of course, Liu Shuiguang is in a good state recently, and I believe it will bring us a very exciting mid lane duel.”

Tao Zi took the conversation and asked with a smile: "If we can beat the European team, our opponent in the final round should basically be the Korean team. Do you have any opinions and comments on the Korean team, Huaniao? Or, What do you think is the odds of winning against a Korean team with a gorgeous all-star lineup like our national server?"

Through the pictures on the video screen, all the national server players who watched this talk show could clearly see that Huaniao Fengyue hesitated for a while.

After a while, I saw him speak again, and said slowly:

"To be honest...although our national server's all-star team is stronger than last season, but if we want to fight against such a Korean team, I guess... well, I personally don't estimate very optimistically...the outcome should be the most Around [-]-[-], most conservatively it should be [-]-[-].”

What, what?

[-] to [-] is not enough?

Against the Korean team, the winning percentage is only [-]-[-]! ?

Just seeing the content of the interview video here has already made many national server players jump their feet.

Flower and Bird Fengyue is not mistaken! ?

The current lineup of our national server can't be described with any other adjectives other than luxury, okay?

The five positions are all the well-deserved and undisputed No. [-] adc, No. [-] support, No. [-] top laner, No. [-] mid laner and No. [-] jungler. Your sister will get a [-]-[-] open from you. evaluate! ?

This is too much to destroy one's own morale and increase the prestige of others! ?

As a result, in the discussion section of the official forum of the national server, the pot suddenly exploded. Most of the crazy posts were accusing Huaniao Fengyue of being too pessimistic and negative. The mentality of the former No. [-] support in the national server meanly mocked Fengyue Huaniao because she couldn't make the All-Star lineup, so she deliberately poured cold water on the national server team like this.

However, amidst such heated discussions, there are still some calm viewpoints.

Especially the members of the major professional teams in the national service professional circle, in fact, can understand the assessment given by Huaniao Fengyue.

……

"Flower and Bird's estimate is similar to what I thought——"

In Ionia, the first area of ​​the national server, in a custom battle room, the eyes of the flowing time swept over the four of Blitzcrank, Draven, Situation and Desperate Flame, and then slowly said:

"If we face the Korean All-Star team, our winning percentage should be below [-]%." (To be continued.)
