LOL: Brother Koi, stop showing off!

Chapter 217 You don’t even want to call me.
Snake and RNG came to Chengdu in advance, and the two teams held several friendly training matches.

As the spring finals approached, Snake played very seriously in training matches.

Teams from the same division played dozens of games throughout the spring, and the two teams also had official matches. If they knew each other well, there would be nothing to hide.

From October 4th.

Head coach Heart of Yujianmen is always worried in private, and the results of training matches are not ideal.

RNG loses more and wins less.

Buffs such as "invincible in training matches" give people a rhythm that is about to collapse, but it also depends on the mentality of both teams before the game, and whether the results can be taken seriously.

Heart knows very well that his team does not play with the idea of ​​"practicing skills".

The double-top and jungle rotation lineup that became more and more proficient in the regular season was repeatedly used in training matches with the Snakes, but it could not change RNG's winning rate.

RNG played very seriously, and you can even feel that they tried their best from Uzi's expression that occasionally turned red with excitement.

The management also found the crux of the failure.

April 4, the eve of the Rubik's Cube finals.

Head coach Heart, RNG head coach Sun Dayong, and several tactical coaches and analysts gathered together.

I played two more games with Snake this evening.

2:0, all lost.

The mood of Uzcasa and others was affected to a certain extent.

"What should we do? How will we adjust tomorrow? Do you have any good ideas?"

Sun Dayong's eyes scanned everyone.

Tactics coach Mit was the first to speak: "The Snakes are harder to beat than IG. Their flaws are quite difficult to find. The top lane duo Flandre and the bottom lane duo have made great progress compared to last year. They are cautious online. Starting from the second half of the spring split, The number of adventurous attacks from above becomes less and less.”

"Judging from the playoff data, their habits continue. Such a team is more difficult for us to crack. It is not as distinctive as IG. When IG operates, we can find more opportunities."

"main."

Mit hesitated for a second, then breathed out softly, "It's TheJin who is too difficult to deal with in the middle. Xiaohu played hard enough in training. In terms of operation and team fighting, he is a little worse than his opponent."

Saying "a little bit" is euphemistic enough, but it's actually a hundred million points.

Because RNG's uniform team discovered that Xiaohu had undergone several 'transformations' during the training match with Li Jinta.

At first, Li Jin made Xiaohu feel unfamiliar and played more cautiously.

Because Li Jin was so famous, Hu instinctively followed his lead, especially since he was not the eldest brother in the team.

However, under the persuasion of the coaching staff such as "It's a training match", "Let's play freely", "No one will blame you", etc., General Tiger began to use more unrestrained heroes to fight for operations.

But the results were pretty bad.

General Tiger is a research-oriented player. During this period, Li Jin became more familiar with his professional world from a stranger, and his impression became more and more profound. This is a process that he has to face all mid laners.

After studying and getting familiar with it, Xiaohu will determine whether he can pretend to be in front of this person, thereby avoiding the "pot".

Follow the biological instinct of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages".

Xiaohu naturally wanted to defeat Li Jin. He did a lot of training and put in a lot of effort. He also fantasized about the moment when he would become famous in a battle, but the most terrible thing was...
When he discovered that these efforts were almost useless, he simply could not develop the strong will to "try his best".

Facing the coaching staff, he would shout "burn yourself", but when he saw the ID "TheJin" on the opposite side, he realized that he was a "fuel-efficient lamp".

Don't collapse in the lane, wait for the big brother to bring C.

In today's training match, General Tiger has shown this attitude, which is why the RNG coaching staff is so anxious and hastily held meetings.

TheJin can't limit him at all. If you give this guy perfect development, the game will be too difficult to win.

Especially now that he is in the middle, he can influence the wings with a little momentum.

From the perspective of the early and mid-term considerations, the threat of mid laner Koi is far greater than the threat of AD Koi in the eyes of the RNG coaching staff.

Following Mit, several data analysts also presented their analysis results from the training matches.

In situations where RNG can win, it basically relies on Uzi developing and then having a good team fight.

Heart and head coach Son Dayong participated in the discussion.

We don't have a good way, we still have to implement the "Uzi three-piece suit" tactic, which is what RNG currently has.

As for the winner, it all depends on the player's condition and performance at the time.

Yujianmen has integrated the corresponding BP tactics again.

Then, Sun Dayong interviewed everyone in the team alone.

The main reason was to talk to General Tiger without seeming too specific or obtrusive.

Facing TheJin every day, Huzi’s physical and mental health is very important.

Chicken soup, flatbread, and promises, Sun Dayong also gave Hu Zi a three-piece set.

"TheJin is so famous, no one will blame you even if you lose."

"Follow the tactics given to you by the team and have confidence. We think you are the best!"

"Xiye, Scout, and Rookie have all come through the three levels. You are not afraid of TheJin! Besides, the fans' expectations are not high. If you can achieve something, it will be a surprise to everyone and it will greatly improve your mid lane status."

"If you win Snake, get a bonus!"

"..."

In the RNG base, Sun Dayong patted Xiaohu on the shoulder like the big brother next door. His tone was long and gentle, deeply rooted in people's hearts, and his eyes were so concerned.

He even gave the argument that "you make money when you win, but you don't lose when you lose."

General Hu was also moved by the head coach's instructions.

What a trust!

In front of Sun Dayong, General Hu used his unique speaking tone to promise: "I will burn myself in the finals and try my best to fight TheJin!"

This night, the lamps in the corridor glowed brightly, but Sun Dayong's smile was so warm.

The look in Xiaohu's eyes was even more gratifying.

Time flies, to May 4th.

This year's Msi game time is more reasonable. When Sao Paulo Msi started last year, the LPL playoffs had not yet finished.

This play-in competition obviously took into account the LPL schedule.

The teams that arrived in Berlin early could only train and wait.

Of course, these teams participating in MSI will definitely pay attention to the LPL finals.

It was four o'clock that evening.

Snake and RNG players stood on the Chengdu Rubik's Cube live stage.

The 2018 LPL Spring Finals started with warm cheers.

From a macro perspective, Snake and RNG don't have much in common.

The Snakes have never been on the finals stage before, but RNG is a regular.

This can't help but make the ID "TheJin" echo in everyone's mind.

In the first spring after Koi came to the Snake team, Snake touched the LPL Spring Finals floor and gained support from more people.

The exaggerated Buff "Champion Wherever You Go" seems to be coming true again!
In the past, in the LCK division, LPL viewers did not feel that deeply.

WE won the championship last year, and this year they experienced dramas such as Koi switching to the mid lane, switching teams, and the rise of the little snake. At this time, many LPL viewers were in an inexplicable mood at the Big Rubik's Cube.

Yujianmen fans who didn't know the results of the training matches were full of confidence in RNG at first.

But when they arrived at the Big Rubik's Cube and saw that familiar face in Snake's camp, the disciples of the Sword Control Sect felt their hearts tremble slightly.

In the 2017 regular season, RNG was swept by WE led by Li Jin.

Afterwards, they tried to take revenge at the Olympic Sports Center, but were swept by WE again.

What about this year?
In the regular season, they met the Snakes team with Li Jin, and RNG was defeated 2:0.

Nima
I have an ominous premonition!

Many old fans of Yujianmen started to play metaphysics in their worries. When players from Yujianmen and Snake Team entered the battle stage, they immediately forwarded the news.

"Forward Koi, bless RNG"

"Forward the koi and the dog will fly!"

But then I thought it didn't taste right. The koi was on the opposite side.

Suddenly, the competition on the Big Rubik's Cube started.

This is destined to be a sad moment for Uzi fans. The curse of being without a crown has not yet been lifted.

Game1, Game2
In the first two games of the spring finals, RNG and Snake played smoothly until 30 minutes later, but they were always under Snake's offensive.

The biggest difference is in the middle units.

According to seasonal rules, the tiger should be at its peak in spring, but when he encountered the koi, it triggered his highest-level "Tiger Can't C" mechanism.

During the game, he played very cowardly.

Do not seek success, but seek no fault.

It is conceivable how much harm it will do to the team to face the strongest alliance No. 1 with this kind of mentality. The impact of the two sides' center on the sidelines and team battles are not in the same dimension.

Lose, still lose!

Li Jin, who was not restricted in two consecutive games, destroyed Uzi in support and team battles, and got MVP data.

In Game 3, after losing two games in a row.

Fans of Sword Gate. Even passers-by want to see their desperate spirit from RNG, and have a free fight with Snake, even if they lose, they will have fun.

but
RNG was more stubborn and came up with a late-stage lineup.

The Snakes stormed the early and mid-game, and Li Jin selected mid laner Jayce, who was unpopular in the version and had only appeared twice.Cooperating with Benji's Pig Girl, Xiaohu defeated Ryze, who was used the most in the Spring Split.

When Uzi, who was seriously developing, was instantly killed by Jayce in a chaotic team battle, Gouzi was furious.

RNG's communication gradually decreased, and the team showed an irreversible collapse.

Game 3 lasted only 24 minutes, and Snake used a blitzkrieg to destroy RNG's crystal hub.The sword shattered the Rubik's Cube.

Yujianmen fans, who were extremely frustrated by the sight, sprayed wildly and entered the mode of dividing the pot.

Against the MVP, it should be Xiaohu's fault, but except for the line explosion in the third game, Xiaohu's data in the first and second games was not the worst, and his damage ratio was not low.

then
The pot of jungle!

Without rhythm and catching undead koi, you can't escape either of these two runs.

The teacher Guo played twice, and with the ID taking the blame, he had more blame-taking attributes than Casa.

The miserable Gouzi continued his crownless curse.

Some extremely depressed fans could only send Uzi to the Snake team that won the championship and put on Snake uniforms.

Let's talk about comfort.
……

"Snake swept RNG and became the 2018 Spring Finals champion! 》

"Uzi's Nightmare, Sweeped by Koi Again"

"Seven: I've done some research and am preparing for S9. 》

"Snake will represent LPL in Msi"

……

"RNG is playing badly!"

"Axi, if they fight like this, they will never be able to defeat Snake!"

"I already have a plan to defeat Snake. It was so close. Why didn't I make it to the finals?"

Jin Zhu, who has always been relatively deep-tempered, had a small outburst in the training room after watching the finals of the Rubik's Cube. After experiencing a series of speechlessness and silence.

Su Xiaoluo stood at the door, folding his arms and looking at a certain fat body jumping anxiously.

"Ha ha."

He sneered lowly and returned to the office.

The principal inside was eating a burger while watching Snake award the award.

"Principal, the golden pig is crazy. Well, I'm stimulated."

The principal ignored him and ate his burger again.

Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoluo immediately handed over a plan.

“That’s the winter window plan for this year.”

The principal waved his hand, and the screen of Li Jin receiving the final MVP was playing on the office LCD screen.

He didn't look at what Su Xiaoluo handed over, but just pointed at the screen.

"Understand?"

Su Xiaoluo was even more determined, shouting "I understand" repeatedly and not taking the plan in hand.

He had the urge to go to Incheon now.

……

4 month 30 day.

In Pudong Airport, Snake and his team were waiting for their flight and took some photos before leaving.

Everyone was in high spirits.

We can talk about what happened in the regular season and playoffs, but more often we will think about the upcoming mid-season.

For rookies who are going abroad to play for the first time, seeing the planes taking off and landing in the sky outside and hearing the roar can make them excited and restless.

"Brother Jin, you are rich in experience. What should you pay attention to when going abroad to play games?"

Flandre, Lin Weixiang and others got together.

Li Jin was very interested: "Don't run around, be careful of being ganked by a wild male gun."

"Watch your steps when you walk, and don't step on gold when you enter the stadium. If you do, we will probably feel nauseous during the game."

"Hahaha!" Lin Weixiang laughed exaggeratedly.

Li Jin told them about the gank of Little Peanut, and everyone listened with interest.

While chatting, Zuo Wu and Chris brought the topic to MSi again.

As a veteran among those who have experienced it, Li Jin taught:

"People outside say that we are the favorites to win the championship. I think this is true. We have the strength. Since everyone pays attention to our opponents, we must also be confident."

"Especially in the World Championships, you can't be timid."

"The few games RNG played against us in the finals were counterexamples."

"At the same time, we must stay calm. Not everyone can adapt to the atmosphere and pressure of the world arena. You must find your form as soon as possible. We don't need to play in the playoffs. It is almost the 11th of the group stage. In more than ten days, I believe you will have already overcame."

"When we go out, we represent the LPL and play the role Snake should have. Not only this time, but also when you play in the World Championship in the future. When you meet new people in the future, you should also teach them."

Flandre said loudly "Yeah".

Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong looked at Li Jin with admiration in their eyes.

I always feel that Brother Jin’s height is different.

However, his words were so convincing.

Last year, all three Korean teams were buried in the hands of Li Jin.

With the help of Li Jin, stupid chicken's Chinese ability has soared during this period. He can understand five or six points of Li Jin's words. If he speaks slower, he may be able to understand more.

He touched Li Jin's arm and smiled:
"KZ are all your old teammates except BDD. How should they fight?"

"What they played in the LCK this season is amazing."

"time."

"It feels like I'm back in 2016."

Of course he was referring to the Tigers.

Li Jinmian said: "Xingxiong, you really hold a grudge. You are still thinking about the third crown being snatched away by us."

Stupid Chicken wanted to retort, but saw Li Jin's smile.

Can't help but say: "Yes."

"You have to pay me back this year."

Li Jin gestured to Flandre and the others: "If you treat everyone to a few more meals, we will help you realize your dream of the Triple Crown. When the time comes to meet Li Guapi, you will be able to brag again."

The stupid chicken screamed at Li Jin, but then hugged Flanduo and Lin Weixiang's necks.

About this KZ team.

It felt strange and familiar to Li Jin.

With the addition of Smeb, Kingzone looks completely different from what Li Jin remembers.

But it’s still the same old teammates.

This season, they reunited and set sail again with their dreams.

A group of close friends who are masters in the same field work together and encourage each other to play happily, which makes the team cohesion super strong.

That's exactly what it is.
KZ exploded with stronger immediate combat power than Li Jin remembered, and its strength was eye-catching.

In this MSI, the Tigers will be the fierce rivals of the Snakes.

At 12:40 noon, the Snake team members boarded the KLM KL896 Boeing 777, and they had seven thoughts.

The time period is suitable and the sailing time is short.

They went to Amsterdam for a layover and did not pay much attention to the local customs.

We only stayed for one hour, and then we arrived at Brandenburg Airport at [-]pm, after a [-]-hour flight.

The Riot Europe branch staff took Snake and a group of slightly dazed people to the team's hotel, which is less than three kilometers away from the CBlol studio.

Arriving on the same night, everyone’s jet lag was basically intact.

Because during the voyage, some guys who were too excited did not fall asleep at all.

May 5rd to May 3th is the qualifying stage, and the most familiar team is Flash Wolves.

In addition to watching the game, Snake is adapting to the latest version.

Chris, who works with versions every day, was the most shocked.

Because of Li Jin's previous interpretation of the version, Snake's hero pool perfectly fits the current hero trend. There are some differences in the details, but the general trend seems to be seamlessly connected.

Seeing Chris' surprised look, Li Jin occasionally joked at him, saying something like "You don't even want to call me godfather."

But Chris was really convinced.

Not to mention the intensity on the court, the interpretation ability alone is sensational.

Li Jin always seems to be able to guess what Riot's gang of dog designers want to do.

5 month 9 day.

After all the qualifying rounds were played, the Vietnamese EVS team and BayWan Flash Wolves advanced.

The other teams are TL in the North American division, FNC in the European division, KZ in the Korean division, and Snake team in the Chinese division!

As the group stage approaches, MSI's attention suddenly rises throughout the world.

Especially the LPL side.

The MSI opener will be between the host FNC and Snake!
