Chapter 84 Every family, every family, every family, who understands?
MSI, full name League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational.
Seed teams from 13 regions around the world will compete in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this year.
Moreover, MSI is extremely critical now.
Because it can determine the places in the global finals.
The region that achieves the top four in this year's MSI will have the number one seed in the group stage of this year's World Championship.
That is, the top seed in the division directly becomes the first seed in the group.
This is quite crucial, because after getting it, you have the opportunity to avoid the situation of civil war in the group stage.
After all, no one wants to compete with their own team in the group stage.
At this moment, EDG has entered the final countdown to training.
Today Xu Yuan's life is very regular.
After getting up in the morning, I would rank myself for more than two hours and practice last-hitting for an hour.
Then there are training matches one after another in the afternoon.
Now that some teams have already had holidays, EDG can only play with teams that don't have holidays.
Some answered, some didn't.
After all, everyone is on vacation. Whether they are willing to accompany you to EDG training depends on their mood.
Fortunately, what is more gratifying is that both RNG and WE agreed to EDG's request for a training match.
Today's LPL is indeed very united.
Today, EDG only has three opponents: RNG, WE, and IG.
Many IG players stayed away during the holidays. After all, it is impossible for Korean players to go back for such a short holiday.
So the basic personnel are there.
Anyway, nothing happened, so I naturally took over the training match.
And because of this, EDG's winning rate against IG in training matches was the lowest at the beginning.
the reason is simple.
"GG."
Xu Yuan hit GG on the screen and exited the game steadily after 15 minutes.
This is already the third training match lost to IG today.
Xu Yuan glanced at his unfinished battle.
He took another look at the second tower on the road that was about to fall.
I didn't know what to say for a while.
In fact, you may not lose if you continue to fight, but the training matches are about early-stage operations and laning. Since the results have been obtained, there is no need to continue fighting.
Aguang was out of line again.
Of course.
When IG replaced the new jungler Ye Ning who likes to catch, plus the fierce and terrifying Theshy on the line.
These two people come together...
During this period, Aguang, who was relieved because Xu Yuan often bore the pressure of being caught, suffered very horrific military training.
Not surprisingly, he collapsed.
After all, Aguang is not really strong in the lane. It is very difficult to face Theshy alone, not to mention Theshy also brings King Ning.
"sorry Sorry sorry."
A Guang's face also lost the smile and was full of self-blame.
In the professional game, being pushed to the second tower within ten minutes undoubtedly means that the line has completely failed.
A Guang didn't even dare to look up, he was afraid of seeing the disappointed faces of his teammates.
He knows that he is EDG's biggest breakthrough.
During this period of time, Aguang has not stopped training and works very hard.
However, the gap in talent is there, if you can't beat them in the lane, you just can't beat them.
Thinking of the MSI opponent he was about to face, Aguang's body was trembling slightly, and he immediately became more determined to train hard.
He must not let the tragedy in the training match happen at MSI! Li Rucan's face was calm but indifferent.
He doesn't like to comfort people.
Mingkai was scratching his head and didn't know how to solve the dilemma on the road.
Meiko was not in the mood to talk either.
After three consecutive laning matches, the game is over!
How could he not feel anything? But it was useless to blame his teammates, so he chose to remain silent.
Abu stood behind them, watching without saying a word.
Don't ask Abu why he just watched, because that's what he wanted.
IG's top jungler is very strong, really strong.
Especially this Theshy.
In Abramovich's analysis, he may be more suppressive and more aggressive than SKT's top laner Huni.
It's an exaggeration.
The strength of this combination in the jungle will only be higher than the current combination of SKT's Huni and Peanut.
This is the effect Abu wants.
By playing training matches with a team that has a stronger top and jungle team than SKT, I will try my best to let Aguang learn how to stabilize better during this period of time.
If you beat an opponent with a perfect score and then beat an opponent with a score of 90, your chances of winning will definitely be much higher.
But... there is a problem.
That’s the mentality of the players.
Anyone who has played games with friends knows that this situation often occurs: I stayed up all night in high spirits, spoke loudly at the beginning, talked nonsense in the middle of the night, and was silent when I was about to get off the plane.
Even if you keep losing all night in the dormitory, you will have a bad mentality, let alone if you keep losing in training matches.
Just when Abu was worried, Xu Yuan stretched.
"Aguang, do you want to rest for a while?"
"me……"
A Guang looked at Xu Yuan, who was still smiling, feeling a little at a loss.
"Do you think it's embarrassing that you can't beat us? Or are you afraid that we will lose?"
Xu Yuan asked with a smile.
His voice was the only one echoing in the entire EDG training room.
"I'm afraid of being held back..."
Aguang opened his mouth.
"Harmful."
Xu Yuan stood up and patted his shoulder.
"We are a team. If you can't beat us, just adjust slowly. I don't believe the opponent can really make you unsteady."
"Don't be afraid. When the situation is really desperate, I will take action."
"Aguang, trust me, okay?"
He didn't have any mood swings because of three consecutive defeats.
To be honest, the despair he has experienced is much more terrifying than this thing.
What does it feel like to lie in bed every day and wait for death that may come at any time? This was his daily routine for the last ten years of his previous life.
So Xu Yuan didn't feel any irritability at all.
He had long been accustomed to patience.
After all, it's useless to rush.
Aguang looked at his gentle eyes and finally nodded seriously.
Take a deep breath.
"it is good."
As the undoubted and absolute boss of EDG now, the more calm Xu Yuan behaves, the more confidence he brings to his teammates.
It also prevents teammates from giving up due to pressure.
After all, everyone in the team is still emotionally stable.
Someone behind you can stand up!
This feeling of peace of mind can give people a little more courage.
Abu, who was standing behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Then let's take a break and continue dating on IG?"
"No problem! Coach, I think we can fight!"
Xu Yuan was the first to respond.
With him taking the lead, Nakano Suke, who was originally agitated, naturally calmed down.
Maintain your mentality!
Abu gave Xu Yuan a thumbs up in his heart.
What is leadership temperament?
That's what leadership looks like! Time flew , the day of departure came.
The door to the dormitory was open, and bright sunlight poured in.
[January 5th, sunny. 】
[The results of today’s training match were not ideal. Aguang still felt uncomfortable being caught, but when he faced Theshy alone, he had learned not to be killed alone. 】
[January 5, cloudy. 】
[Tianjian was a bit low-pressure, and I suspected it was due to the loss, but when I told him that I would go to SKT if we lost, he regained his fighting spirit, which was pretty good. 】
[May 5th, light rain]
[Gan, I just remembered that this year MSI can’t play Xia, Cao, Fist and Burn Your Dreams! 】
[January 5th, sunny. 】
[Aguang is now so stable that it’s almost scary. He finally understands that as long as he doesn’t die, it’s enough. Although he is very badly suppressed by Theshy, he is finally out of control in the lane. We have a chance against SKT because Huni is much more rubbish than Theshy. 】
"Xu Yuan, are you okay?"
Ming Kai's voice came from the door.
Xu Yuan, who was writing furiously, put away his diary, raised his head and responded.
Although serious people don’t keep diaries, are they serious people?
Xu Yuan stood up and walked to the mirror.
The boy in the mirror is handsome and sunny, and he looks like a cheerful big boy.
"good."
He muttered to himself with satisfaction and ran out of the dormitory.
Today is the day they head to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
There are only two days left before the start of the group stage.
There was no moment of mourning for the fall of RNG. The one who immediately rushed to the battlefield was——
EDG!
At the same time, the famous e-sports media ESPN finally released their carefully edited MSI player rankings at this moment.
This media can be said to have a great background.
Do you know who is the number one ADC in S4? ESPN ranked Nami.
Then Nami ate the bowl of beef noodles and kept eating it till the end.
Before you knew S5MSI, who was the number one player? Lee Sang Hyuk! As a result, SKT's BP was tricked in the fifth key game, and Lee Sang Hyuk's Enchantress failed to produce results. Even though Enchantress had a 100% winning rate, it still lost MSI.
With these two Kazakh counter-examples in front of us, the current ESPN rankings are more often called the poisonous milk rankings.
Of course, although the first place is poisonous milk, the second and third places are generally ranked very it also has some reference value.
Not surprisingly, all members of SKT are on the list.
NO1: ESPN said of him:
"After experiencing the difficulties of S4, we are very happy to see the official return of the big devil. Maybe some people think that SKT, which lost MSI in S5, is not worthy of the honor of ruling for a year. However, Faker has been in the world championship for two consecutive years in S5 and S6. They are all the undoubted cornerstone and core of winning the championship!”
This is also an honor that only comes first, and other players don't have much evaluation.
is Bang.
A very simple sentence: "The strongest ADC so far, a textbook AD that all AD players should learn."
is Peanut, which is a small peanut.
"The crazy ROX in S6 will never be separated from his near-perfect performance. Now that he has won MSI tickets again, it seems that his integration into SKT has been very successful."
is Wolf.
"A support with tactical thinking, together with Bang, is the strongest bot lane team in the world right now."
Until No. 5, there are others.
NO5: "The man who saved G2 from the fire and water, the absolute core without a doubt, the genius mid laner who created miracles!"
Only two people from EDG can enter the top ten.
: "A mid laner who has successfully continued EDG's strong mid lane, but whether he can still perform as well as Pawn in the World Championship is still a question mark, and we keep looking forward to it."
: That is Xu Yuan.
ESPN's evaluation of Xu Yuan was even more contemptuous.
"A player whose playing style is similar to Bang, an AD who can barely be considered a genius. However, no one knows how far he can go. He may not be able to do the same thing as Deft, or he may be stronger. We hope he can perform well. One thing, don’t let the suspense disappear prematurely.”
As soon as ESPN’s ranking came out, the domestic maggot babies were furious.
But I don't have the confidence to refute.
After all, the S6 World Championship was like B, so what qualifications do you have to refute others? Now, they can only place their hope on EDG.
"Although EDG Sima, since it's you who are going, you better not lose!"
"There's no choice. I can only support EDG. I'll scold them hard if they lose, and brag hard if they win."
"It's okay. Although EDG's Uenosuke is useless, the double C's are indeed top-notch. Looking at ESPN's behavior, I guess they didn't want to rank EDG's players in the top ten. However, the double C's statistics are indeed strong enough and they have achieved dominance. force."
"Yes, believe Xu Yuan!"
"Now I have to become Yuanza, Xu Yuan will be killed by me!"
The sisters on Weibo immediately started praying to EDG for help.
This is also a reserved program before every competition.
The younger sisters are indeed not very good at swearing, but they are really good at the whole job.
"Ming Kai~Ye Ye~Xu Yuan~Li Rucan~Chen Yuhao~is back in spirit!"
"Jimei friends, I recently went to a nearby temple to ask EDG for a lottery, and the result showed that it was a lottery!"
"Come on EDG!!! I'll smoke a and open it at night. Anyone who has scolded EDG is not allowed to smoke!"
However, EDG was completely unaware of the turmoil on the Internet at this time.
At seven o'clock in the evening, they arrived at Sao Paulo Airport.
To be honest, this is Xu Yuan's first time going abroad.
After meeting with the staff arranged by Riot Games, he was naturally taken to the hotel arranged by Riot Games.
This place is Brazil...
It's actually quite messy.
At least Riot staff warned EDG that if anyone wants to leave the hotel, they'd better tell them.
But when it comes to safety, it’s actually quite safe.
Although there are many gangs, drug dealers, etc., for those with formal entry and exit records, there is basically no need to worry.
This is the confidence that CN brings to Xu Yuan! After Riot staff arranged the EDG players, Xu Yuan also felt a little hungry.
After calling Mingkai, I was going to go out to eat something clean to cushion my bed, and then adjust the jet lag at night to avoid acclimatization.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they were about to go out, they met everyone from SKT who was also preparing to go out for dinner.
In some small corridors, two waves of people were stunned at the same time.
"Savior?"
The first person to speak was Bang, who looked a little surprised.
He looked Xu Yuan up and down, nodded imperceptibly, and asked in relatively fluent English,
"Just arrived today?"
"Ah."
Xu Yuan couldn't figure out what he wanted to say and nodded slightly.
"what……"
Bang smiled and walked up to Xu Yuan.
"Do you remember what I once told you? Go have a good meal. Meet your last lunch."
He seemed to want to say this condescendingly.
Unfortunately, Xu Yuan is taller than him.
As a result, the momentum is a bit insufficient.
"You're too close, it's affecting my appetite."
Xu Yuan was not surprised by his ridicule.
After all, as the current representative of both parties, Bang could only have this attitude towards him.
"I hope you don't just have words."
Bang sneered and returned to the SKT crowd.
Li Sang Hyuk looked at Xu Yuan with strange eyes.
Is this...the overly good-tempered AD?
Offline, in this kind of situation, some people unexpectedly show their sharpness.
Lee Sang Hyuk likes such opponents.
A calm victory for him...
A little boring.
When he passed Xu Yuan, he chuckled and patted Xu Yuan's shoulder.
"come on."
Xu Yuan:? ? ? Lee Sang Hyuk, what are you doing? It seems like we don’t know each other! At this moment, Xu Yuan suddenly thought of a Bible chant: Family members, who knows.
I met a shrimp-headed man today, and he started to do something to me!
Really down! (End of this chapter)
