LOL: Brother Koi, stop showing off!

Chapter 172

WE defeated EDG and swept Group A in two rounds, and won the summer regular season.

Guodian originally planned to replace iboy after losing a game, but considering that the opportunity to face Li Jin on the court was quite rare, in the spirit of experience, they used too much force.

After the two sides shook hands after the game, iboy, who returned to the backstage with Seven, was in a daze and his eyes were not focused.

"Xiao Zhao, how do you feel?"

The factory director took the initiative to find topics like an old father.

"Um"

"He's different than he was in scrims."

After hearing this, the factory director curled his lips and said to himself that Xiao Zhao was too young.

Funny, how can Li Jin’s official game be the same as a training game?
Not wanting to get entangled in childish topics, he asked again:
"Any other feelings?"

iboy said: "It was uncomfortable to play. It seemed like I couldn't show my strength, and I didn't even fight in the lane."

The situation embarrassed him, and he was beaten in both games.

If I want to complain about Meiko, she is much worse than others in the two-person coordination between AD and support.

Meiko is the old man of the team and he didn't dare to speak.

The factory director looked at him and knew that he was young and energetic and refused to admit defeat, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Just a few words of encouragement and no more words.

Before the summer competition, the factory director was looking forward to iboy's debut.

It's like opening a blind box.

If he can play at Li Jin's level, and he is so young, wouldn't EDG take off?

Now, the blind box is opened.

iboy is indeed good, at least most 61e are quite satisfied with it.

But it is quite far from psychological expectations.

Especially after these two games, although it is only the regular season, the gap between the two is completely visible to the naked eye.

iboy is nothing like the supposed "young koi template".

Now I can only hope that iboy can train hard and be self-disciplined enough to maximize his talents.

By then, he will definitely become an excellent AD in the league.

EDG's pre-game operation was like a wedding dress, hyping up the 'genius' against the "strongest AD in S7" was like a big own goal.

EDG said that iboy is the "one in a million" one.

As a result, under strict inspection by top quality inspector Koi, it was discovered that he was not.

Public opinion is one-sided.

The maverick and brainless iboy gang has stopped now.

I wanted to use Li Jin as a stepping stone to fight to become a god, but I couldn't grasp it.

An interview clip appeared on the Luquan forum that night. It was Yu Shuang's interview with Li Jin after the match between EDG and WE.

A section from the video:
Yu Shuang: "Brother Jin, how would you rate EDG's AD player iboy?"

Li Jin: "As a newcomer, iboy played better than I expected, and he is enough to shoulder the starting responsibility of EDG. He is very young and will have a lot of room for improvement if he trains hard in the future."

"If it's a perfect score of ten, what score would Brother Jin give him?"

"Four points."

……

This interview also caused heated discussion in the forum.

"Brother Jin is being tactful enough. To win by crushing iboy, 6 points is the limit. 7 points will completely give ancestor Savin face."

"There is room for growth in the future, please take a closer look at (dog head)."

"Brother Jin is right. As a newcomer, iboy doesn't play badly. What's wrong is that 61e has expanded to the point where players of different levels are compared together."

"iboy suffered a lot against Jin Ge, a top AD AD. He probably got his pants off before he even played. I have watched a few games iboy played before EDG, and I paid a lot of attention to this newcomer. This is definitely the most uncomfortable thing iboy has ever played. In one round, his thoughts and operations were completely crushed. He was struggling, and none of his gorgeous and spiritual offensive operations could be seen."

"One thing to say is that iboy is so miserable. Not long after he debuted, he was used to bump up against Brother Koi. It would be weird for EDG to have such outrageous ideas and not wear a mask of pain."

"..."

I used to brag a lot, but now it's normal to be slapped in the face and ridiculed.

Even the bottom of EDG’s official homepage cannot be avoided.

They do gimmicks and add fuel to the flames, but the traffic is never that good.

but,

EDG is quite smart. They readily accepted the complaints from netizens and said that iboy was inspired by the game and should work hard to learn from Li Jin's game experience.

8 month 20 day.

With RNG sweeping NB 2:0, the 2017 League of Legends summer regular season officially ended.

LPL announced the summer regular season MVP that night.

Li Jin was re-elected with impressive data.

This sparked enthusiasm among fans.

However, this round of enthusiasm did not last long and was diluted by the arrival of the playoffs.

The LCK, Europe and North America and other competition regions have also switched to playoff mode.

this means
S7 is approaching!

The global finals held in China this time touched people's hearts. As MSI won consecutive championships in the intercontinental competition, LPL viewers were looking forward to but also nervous.

If the beginning is good, can the ending be perfect?
The day after the regular season ended, the summer playoffs started on time.

There are two spots left in the S competition, and the major LPL teams have to grab the lead.

No one would pass up the opportunity to compete and show their face in their home country.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 22nd, IG, which had a ranking advantage, automatically won a game, and then defeated SNG in two consecutive games, directly sweeping 3:0 to advance.

At four o'clock, Zuo Wu led the Snake team to fight NB.

To the relief of Snakes fans, both King O and Saint Martin were abandoned.

In a tense knockout match, they brought back Brother Crystal.

But on NB's side, mid laner Coco and bottom laner LWX were in great form, leading the team to consecutive wins.

Lin Weixiang showed his confidence and even took out Vayne, and also got MVP data.

Brother Crystal was better than King O and St. Martin, but he was afraid of his young strength. He was no longer at his peak and was eventually swept out by NB together with Snake.

This battle.
Snake's defeat also made Ezuo Kiro pay attention to the bottom duo of Lwx and Crisp.

"Xingxiong, what do you think of them?"

Zuo Wu asked Benji about the NB duo through a translator.

"It is more mature than the regular season, and it is a very stable ability to fight immediately."

Benji looked at the people on the bench in the distance and whispered: "If you can recruit him, Snake's results will definitely be better than now."

"But isn't your first goal to recruit Li Jin in the winter window?"

The stupid chicken was puzzled: "It changed so quickly?"

"Given the current situation of the team, only by recruiting an absolute core C position can there be fundamental changes."

"Although Li Jin is not that lovable, his ability is not comparable to that of the NB duo."

Zuo Wu said:

"I am preparing to recruit Li Jin."

Stupid Chicken wanted to retort immediately, but then he thought about it and suddenly showed a look of horror.

"Ah Xi~~!"

Yes, Li Jin may not necessarily play AD next season.

Based on WE's strength this year, there is a chance of winning the championship.

Once successful, Li Jin will have an AD champion.

Last year was the auxiliary championship.

A pair of champion skins are put together in the bottom lane, plus an eye skin, this...
Stupid Chicken was reminded by Zuo Wu, and his forehead roared.

He knew Li Jin's character very well, and he might be able to play a big game of chess, something that ordinary players would never dare to think about.

"How did you come up with this idea?"

Stupid Chicken looked at Zuo Wu with a hint of surprise on his face.

Obviously I don't believe that he has such vision and wisdom.

"I saw it in the e-sports Koi Bar. The bar members there know Li Jin very well. During this year's championship skin update, they came up with many ideas and unique insights."

Seeing the stupid chicken say "oh", Zuo Wu felt that he was offended.

8 month 23 day.

IG challenged OMG, Duke Shaman rotated in the top lane, Broiler Chicken performed stably in the middle lane, AD Xihuang performed beyond the regular season level, and Baolan even scored the MVP.

IG defeated OMG 3:1. 59e find it difficult to accept this result.

NB, who advanced from Group B, faced EDG, the second best team in Group A, and was swept out 3:0.

After two days of rest.

The semi-finals started on time at two o'clock in the afternoon, IG faced off against WE.

Many teams in the league that are aiming for the finals are paying attention to WE's latest status, so they will not miss the semifinals.

The two sides played a total of four games.

After the 1:1 draw, the most exciting thing was the third battle at Tianwang Mountain.

The two sides fought fiercely for 18 minutes with a head count of 16:46. In the end, Li Jin's Xia got three kills in a wave of ancient dragon team battles, and WE grabbed the match point in one fell swoop.

Game four.

Xihuang used a small cannon to line up with Li Jin's Xia, but was knocked out of the line due to a mistake.

Less than 30 minutes into the game, IG did not escape the fate of being swept by WE Gentlemen.

In the match between RNG and EDG at six o'clock, General Tiger showed his might. He fought with EDG for over an hour when RNG was trailing 1:2, and used airplanes to inflict [-] points of damage to help RNG regain the match point.

unfortunately,

In the fifth game, the smart pig was suddenly captured at level 2, and Uzi was at a direct disadvantage after sending out first blood at the beginning.

iboy is not Adou. Under EDG's rhythm, he played very well after gaining the advantage.

After 31 minutes, the battle between pigs and dogs ended.

EDG advanced to the finals.

After losing to WE twice in the regular season, 61e held their breath and looked forward to EDG's revenge in the finals and regaining the top spot in the division.

On November 9th.

The decisive battle between WE and EDG took place at Wukesong Stadium.

The venue was full of spectators. Before the start of the game, 60e and 61e were fighting each other, and the cheers resounded throughout the venue.

Using the same formula, Li Jin continuously suppressed iboy in the bottom lane and arrested him steadily.

WE won two games in a row to get match point.

A young boy from Game 3 suddenly broke out to kill Xiye alone. On the road, 957 failed to manage his mentality well and was called out by the factory manager one after another, losing the first blood tower.

The advantage Li Jin gained from suppressing the bottom lane was gone.

EDG opened up the situation with the help of the first half, and took 35 minutes to regain a victory, giving 61e a glimmer of hope.

But since Game 4 started, the only cheers left were the 60e people.

Li Jin captured iboy in four consecutive games, and in Game 4 he had a solo kill.

A well-developed Varus started the rhythm in the middle again in the 13th minute, causing the young boy who had gained the advantage in the early stage to explode.

In the following ten minutes, WE snowballed infinitely.

With a huge disadvantage, EDG made many mistakes while busy.

Li Jin's data was fixed at 10/0/10, scoring a super-efficient double-double.

On the other hand, iboy's 1/5/1 has a completely different style of painting.

In the Wukesong Stadium, everyone in WE won the summer championship trophy amid the cheers of the audience, becoming the number one seed in the LPL!
Under the stage lights, Li Jin also won the summer finals MVP trophy.

So far,

In less than a year, he has won all the awards in the local league.

According to the spring and summer pattern, the annual MVP award at the 2017 annual ceremony can be said to be in hand, and there is no suspense.

……

Seoul, Korea.

LCK Summer Split champion, Gentlemen swept SKT's Dragon Ball team.

Rat King Pray is sitting side by side with his dad Gorilla watching the LPL finals. They are also accompanied by BDD, Cuzz and Khan.

The coach is a fat man wearing a suit and looking confident.

It was Kim Jung-soo.

As the No. [-] seed in the LCK, it is natural to pay attention to the No. [-] seeds in other divisions.

"Jongren, my brother is in a terrible state."

Gorilla smiled and shook Pray's shoulders.

The Rat King licked his lips: "If SKT's Bang was replaced by a brother, we might not be able to pass SKT's level."

"Um"

"Bang was at his peak last year, but this year he's far behind."

Jin Jingzhu held a stack of information in his hand: "Judging from the information currently integrated in all competition regions, TheJin is undoubtedly the strongest AD this season."

Call out the ID "TheJin".

Even Jin Jingzhu sighed with emotion: "This guy is really hard to understand. How can an assistant-turned-AD adapt so well. A natural shooter?"

"Haha. So, Samsung has sent out the news that CoreJJ wants to return to the AD position." Gorilla laughed twice.

"He moved from AD to support, and now it's impossible to replicate The Jin by switching to AD. He's not a Triple Crown coach." Khan couldn't help but sneer.

Jin Jingzhu glanced at Li Jin on the screen and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"TheJin is indeed powerful, but WE is not invincible."

"Moreover, we LZ should be WE's biggest nemesis."

Jin Jingzhu laughed confidently.

This has to do with his coaching style.

Jin Jingzhu is very good at training a team with the top laner as the core and the midfielder driving the rhythm.

For example, the final against SKT.

Dragon Ball's top laners are always Green Steel Shadow, Jace, and Weapon Master.

What about SKT on the road?
Gnar, Shen, Big Bug.

With the two elders Xuan Ming holding down the bottom lane, and Dragon Ball's mid and upper jungle opening up, it was easy to win the game.

This is the reason why SKT swept AFS and Samsung in succession, and defeated KT 3:2. In the final, they fell to Longzhu.

If you look closely at WE and SKT, the composition of the two teams is very similar.

Combined with the small number of games that WE lost in the playoffs, Kim Jingzhu has reason to believe that they can defeat WE with their mid-to-upper tempo tactics.

Gorilla nodded secretly after hearing Jin Jingzhu's thoughts.

Then he asked the Rat King:

"Jongin, are you confident?"

"Yes, I have!"

Pray smiled: "And I really want to play against brother."

"Hey, I see."

“Jongin can’t wait to send out emojis and interact, right?”

……

On the LCK side, Longzhu won the No. [-] seed as the Summer Championship. Although SKT had an average summer regular season record, they had a points advantage as the Spring Championship. They counterattacked all the way to runner-up in the Summer Playoffs and directly became the No. [-] seed.

SSG once again entered the bubble match with the second place and spring split points. First, they defeated AFs in a two-match three-match series, and then swept KT 3:0.

What is the bubbling Saidi God!
The moment he became the third seed, Chichi jumped up with joy.

SSG once again changed their destiny and won the ticket to the global finals.

LCK’s S7 quota was determined first.

On the LPL side, because WE occupies the dual status of Summer Championship and first place in points, and EDG is second in points, it was postponed to lock in the second seed.

The bubble match started on September 9, and RNG finally defeated IG 2:3 and became the third seed in the summer split.

This time, there is no shortage of Yu Sanjia.

At the same time, the North American, European and American divisions, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the wild card divisions have locked in their quotas.

Same as Msi.

This year’s World Championship has expanded its section and added a play-in tournament mechanism.

12 qualifying teams from around the world will gather at Wuhan Sports Center on September 9.

As time went by, teams from all over the world rushed to China one after another, looking at this ancient, mysterious country with a long history.

The eyes of hundreds of millions of players around the world are also focused here!
The LPL forum is getting more popular day by day, with a large number of posts appearing every day.

Will this year be the most promising year?
