Alliance: From Plumber to LPL Champion

In the next half month, everyone was engaged in intensive training.

At the same time, the qualifying round was over, and C9 was assigned to Group A.

So the four teams in Group A were completely determined: DL, SKT, AHQ, C9!

The schedule was also determined, and the first four days were the first round of the group stage.

The first and third match days were for Group A and Group C. Each team had to play three games, and played once with the three teams in the same group.

The second and fourth match days were for Group B and Group D.

The opening game was Group Z, DL vs. SKT!

Luo Ren continued to observe the comments on the Internet, and suddenly, he saw something interesting.

The video of Mo Zi interviewing him before had spread on the Internet and was made into an inspirational short film.

In this short film, Luo Ren became an inspirational e-sports star, working hard to prepare for the S game.

He needed to go to work and live broadcast every day, and could only meditate and train when he slept.

Coupled with the sensational music and lines, Luo Ren was dumbfounded.

Is this him? Why do I feel like I'm in a parallel world?

I have to say that video editing is really powerful nowadays.

Maybe it's because this video editing is so successful that many people believe in the idea of ​​meditation training and think it's true.

Luo Ren couldn't hold it anymore. He was just talking nonsense.

Maybe this is the influence of celebrities. Anything they say can resonate with people.

Then, another discussion appeared on the Internet:

"Do you think XLG will play in the opening game between DL and SKT?"

"I don't think so, because he is XLG, he will definitely surprise you."

"When you all think he won't, he will."

"You're wrong. When you all think he will, he won't."

"Why is it here? Just ask a half-immortal about this kind of thing."

Luo Ren looked at his private messages.

Oh my god, it's numb. I can't even finish reading them.

They all asked him if XLG would play in the first game.

Luo Ren chose to post a preview. He originally wanted to say that XLG would definitely play.

But it was too direct, and it felt easy for people to guess that he was XLG.

So it needed to be more tactful.

Luo Renbian changed it to: DL will win the opening match.

After this post was sent out, there was an immediate response:

"No, you didn't say whether XLG will play or not."

"So will XLG play or not?"

"Wait, DL will definitely win? Then XLG will definitely play, otherwise how can they win?"

"Not necessarily, now the other players in DL are also very strong, and they have a chance."

"Not even close, DL without XLG is just a mess."

Luo Ren achieved the effect he wanted, and some people could associate the two together, but they were not completely sure.

This controversiality would expand the influence.

A few days passed quickly, and the opening match began!

At noon, Luo Ren took a short break after finishing his meal. Seeing that it was almost time, he walked out of the room, went downstairs, and walked to the door of the training base.

At this time, the DL players were coming out one after another, carrying bags, which should contain peripherals.

PDD and Hongmi followed the team. Hongmi confirmed that everyone was there and said:

"Let's go! Go to the door and take the car."

Luo Ren walked in front of Zuo Shou, whose hands were shaking at this time. He was too nervous.

"Is it so serious? You are like this before the game. You will faint when you get on the stage later?" Luo Ren complained.

Zuo Shou forced a smile: "I'm not nervous, but my hands are a little unstable."

Wei came over: "It's okay, Zuo Shou. If you feel that your mentality is unstable, you can let Luo Ge go up and you can cheer for him from below."

Zuo Shou scratched his head: "This is not good."

Although he said this, the corners of his mouth rose, proving that he really wanted to be a cheerleader.

Luo Ren would naturally not let him back down: "Then I won't play mid."

Zuo Shou was stunned and asked: "If you don't play mid, which lane will you play?"

"Jungle." Luo Ren looked at Wei.

"Ah? I'm a cheerleader?" Wei exclaimed.

"Yeah, don't you like being a cheerleader? Then come."

DL walked to the gate of the community, but found that it was very lively!

There were many people outside, holding all kinds of cheering signs in their hands.

"Here they come! DL people are here!"

"DL! DL! DL!"

"XLG, I'm your fan!"

"We must win! Beat SKT!"

Luo Ren glanced over and estimated that there were thousands of people, all holding cheering signs.

Those who can find this place must be die-hard fans, very loyal fans.

DL walked out and passed through the crowd.

The car stopped at the roadside, and everyone got in the car and headed straight to the game site.

In the car, Zuo Shou exclaimed: "There are so many people. I guess the venue will be full today."

Wei: "Of course, will you be so nervous that you will faint?"

Crisp: "That's too exaggerated, you are not a girl."

Luo Ren noticed that the billboards on the roadside were all advertisements for the S game.

Many of them were promoting today's opening game, DL vs. SKT.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the game site, and as expected, the square outside was crowded with people.

Seeing DL's car coming, the audience cheered:

"DL! DL! DL!"

Perhaps because DL played SKT in the opening game today, many people in the square were DL fans.

Of course, most of the remaining people were SKT fans.

If you look at the number, they are comparable.

You know, this is on the territory of LPL.

SKT actually has such appeal, which is too terrifying.

The car entered the parking lot, and Hongmi greeted, "Okay, we're here, get off."

So everyone got off the car and walked towards the competition venue.

Just then, Luo Ren noticed a group of people in front of him, and they were also entering the venue.

This team uniform... is obviously SKT!

The SKT people also noticed this side.

So after the DL people walked over, the two teams met.

SKT coach Kkoma picked up Hongmi and took the initiative to greet him: "Coach Hongmi."

Hongmi responded: "Coach Kkoma, long time no see."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the SKT people turned ugly.

Not to mention whether Hongmi did it on purpose, but it is indeed easy to associate it with the last time they met at MSI, when DL stepped on SKT's head and won the championship.

It's hard not to associate it with this.

The coaches of both sides shook hands and exchanged a few words.

Luo Ren noticed that the SKT people were observing him intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to have some thoughts about him.

Luo Ren saw a hint of ferocity in Huni's eyes. It seemed that he was itching for trouble again and began to be dissatisfied again.

Soon, the two teams went their separate ways.

DL entered the lounge, put down the pigeons' things, and then found a place to sit down and rest.

Everything that needed to be prepared was prepared in advance, and now all they had to do was wait for the game to start.

Luo Ren took out his mobile phone, and now the whole network was discussing the opening game.

This game was very crucial, as SKT was the second seed of LCK.

If SKT beat DL, the first seed of LPL, it would be a huge blow to the confidence of LPL.
