Looking at this panel, Li Yi couldn't help but shout in his heart, Invincible!
This is fucking invincible! This gain is really great. Not to mention that the strength will increase by one percentage point every year, just based on the nine-year career, the gain has exceeded forty attribute points!
The rewards for this summer season champion are even more exaggerated than those for the mid-season championship.
Drink some black wolfberry again...and the value will be broken through again.
Li Yi himself couldn't even imagine that scene. It was like seeing Faker holding up his fourth championship.
Invincible!
I was a little worried about the World Championship, but now I’m not worried at all.
You can target me all you want, Riot Games. If I frown, I will lose.
GT swept RNG 3-0
At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room was also exploding!
[The haters are talking! Where did the people who analyzed before the game and said that GT would not be able to win the championship after the version change and would be swept by RNG go? ]
[It's so funny, after winning the game, I can't find a bunch of people who know me, they're all pretending to be dead. 】
[Wow, I was wrong. GT had a record of 16 consecutive wins in the summer season. I don’t know where this illusion came from. I thought GT would be good after the version change. Damn, it turned out to be so powerful! ]
[Damn, Xiushen has such a rich hero pool, he can play everything, he crushed Xiaohu with two games of Ice Girl, Li Bingbing! Not to mention Jia Leo! ]
[In fact, it is not an illusion that GT is going to fall. The continuous version changes have already targeted GT badly. The players spent a lot of time to adapt successfully. If other teams were the same as GT, they might have won the championship long ago. ]
[Yes, didn’t you see how much the neighboring region SKT was affected? They lost to Longzhu in the finals... It’s really hard for a team with the mid lane as the core. It’s hard to imagine how much effort GT put in to win the championship.]
[No matter! Show God is at his best! We are the champions again! ]
Although some people feel jealous, but in this adverse phase, no matter what words are typed, they will be directly drowned out and there is no point at all.
Instead, it will make you very depressed.
GT just celebrated briefly on the stage.
I have won several championships recently, so I can adjust my mentality quickly.
And it was indeed embarrassing for them to watch us celebrate.
So he quickly walked to the RNG player seat.
Uzi was not in a good mood because of the losing game.
But something Brother Feng said in the lounge relieved his stress a lot.
Because even if you lose, it won’t affect the final outcome at all.
They will advance to the global finals as the second seed.
The No. 1 seed just has one more championship.
In the end, they are all participating teams in the global finals.
That's what it means to really fight for the game.
As long as we win the global finals championship, it doesn’t matter even if we lose all the league championships.
This is how it is for professional League of Legends players. The world championship represents everything.
"Yishen, you are still too strong. I couldn't target you at all. In the end, I was beaten by you for three rounds." When shaking hands, uzi had adjusted his mentality and said to Li Yi with a smile on his face.
"You guys made me feel really bad. I won purely because of luck. With these two heroes banned, I don't know what to play next."
“Come on, you keep throwing smoke bombs at everyone. It’s useless even if the AD hero moves. You will be pushed to the bench.” Uzi also made a few jokes to Li Yi.
The one who felt most relaxed after hearing this was Xiaohu.
If the puppy is not angry, there should be no problem going back.
Next, I will train hard and prepare for the global finals.
This year must be stronger than last year!
If we were in the quarterfinals last year, then we should set the goal of reaching the semifinals first.
Xiaohu showed a determined look at this moment.
Cheng Lu and Liu Qingsong were both filled with confusion.
No, buddy, why is your gaze so determined after the game is over? I really don't understand what state Xiaohu is in now.
Although they lost the game...they became more and more determined as the game went on. Mentally, they felt that Tiger God was indeed much stronger than them and was worth learning from.
After the handshake, all GT members came to the center of the stage and bowed deeply to the audience, thanking them for their support in the finals.
At this moment, Nanjing Gymnasium erupted in warm cheers and applause.
During this session, even RNG fans celebrated for GT.
Although RNG fans are notoriously difficult to deal with, there is still a difference between online and offline.
There are always a lot of little sugar men online and a lot of gods offline.
I can only say that being online will magnify the darkness in one's heart. Of course... Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall cannot be counted, because there are a lot of unruly visitors there, who are already arrogant without any education.
He Bin and Li Jiongjun, who were in the backstage, also came to the front desk to celebrate with all the GT team members.
With colorful ribbons falling from the sky and fireworks erupting on both sides of the venue, everyone raised the sixty-pound Silver Dragon Cup together.
If it is a thin dog, it is really difficult to lift it over the head.
The lights kept intersecting, focusing on all the GT members who were holding up the trophy. The host Ren Dong took a deep breath, then raised the microphone in his hand and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to GT! They are the champions of the 2017 League of Legends Summer Season! Audience, please give them your applause and cheers!"
The audience at the scene once again screamed and cheered with all their might.
The impact of 20,000 people is really a bit different from previous celebrations.
Especially since they were in the center of the stage, the sound was all around them!
Even Li Yi was a little excited.
This is the scenario for 20,000 people. What if it is 50,000 or 70,000 people?
Something of this scale...isn't it the Bird's Nest?
At this time, the camera also swept across the audience at the scene.
You can see a large number of audiences holding GT signs, swaying wildly to the sound of the scene.
It's time for carnival now.
Who says GT is not good? This GT is awesome!
As the screams of the audience gradually subsided, Ren Dong once again took control of the rhythm on the court.
"Next, please invite Mr. Jin Yibo, the director of the LPL League, and Mr. Bobby, the director of the Riot League of Legends China Division, to present the awards to the GT team."
At this moment, two middle-aged men also walked onto the stage with smiles on their faces.
There were several staff members following behind, holding signs with the championship prize money in their hands. One million and a half was five hundred thousand more than the one million in the spring season, but playing professional games is no longer about the championship prize money.
On the other side is the exclusive championship jersey.
This piece of clothing is actually the clothing given at the upcoming departure ceremony, but it was distributed to GT in advance. This is a treatment only for the champion.
With a smile on his face, Jin Yi Bo asked the staff to hand GT a sign of 1.5 million.
Then Mr. Poppy put on the LPL uniforms for the players. The black and gold uniforms were very cool.
After all the GT members changed their clothes, their momentum went up several levels.
The main thing is that the benchmark in the middle is very cool.
It’s just that the brand of the sponsor Topsports at the back is a bit too big.
Fortunately, there is no main team for Top Esports now. They have money, but they haven’t found a suitable team yet. They may as well take advantage of the popularity for now.
Jin Yibo patted Li Yi.
"Keep up your spirits in the global finals. Maybe I'll be the one to present you with the award then."
After all, it is held in China, and he is the highest-ranking person in charge in the country, because he is not only responsible for League of Legends, but he is also the first president of the new company Tencent Esports that is about to be established.
If GT can really win the trophy at the Bird's Nest, it will really be him.
Of course, there must be a Riot leader of Tryndamere's level who comes with him.
"Then you guys have to tell Riot designers to stop targeting me. Now that all heroes have been nerfed, it will be difficult for me to win the championship."
"Hahaha... I don't think there's much difference for you. Your performance in the competition is still very exaggerated. I believe your version in the Global Bureau won't be much different either."
Li Yi and Jin Yibo just had a brief chat, and after the award ceremony, they took photos together.
GT is also the fifth No. 1 seed after Royal Club, WE, Lao Gandie, and EDG.
However, the reason why Royal Club is the number one seed in S3 is not because they won the championship, but because something happened to the number one seed and they were ranked higher.
But this just shows that there are endless teams in the LPL region, and a hundred flowers are blooming. Even if they were dominant before, they will still be eliminated if they can't keep up with the version.
This is also the penultimate stage.
Announce the fmvp player of the summer season finals.
In fact, there is not much suspense.
Ren Dong picked up the card in his hand.
"I believe there is no suspense about the fmvp player anymore."
"In that case, let's shout out this ID together!"
"sease!"
"sease!"
The audience at the scene shouted in unison almost as soon as Ren Dong spoke.
The atmosphere is extremely hot now.
After all, after an exciting game, it is time to reap the rewards.
"Yes, it's Saese! Next, please invite our Mr. Jin Yibo to hand over the FMVP trophy to Sease."
Jin Yibo originally thought that he would have nothing to do after the bonuses were moved, but he did not expect that he would have another segment as a guest.
But he didn't care much and just picked up the fmvp trophy next to him and handed it to Li Yi.
In fact, this is exactly the same as the trophy for the spring season. It feels very plastic, but it looks pretty good up close.
It's a trophy with great commemorative significance.
After retiring, there is no need to put flower pots on the background wall during live broadcasts.
At least now there are four championship trophies, two fMVP trophies, and one fMVP medal, which is quite a lot.
……
"Contestant Sease, this is my second interview with you." Ren Dong, the Undying Grasp, stretched out his left hand and waved it forward, as if asking Li Yi to move forward.
Fortunately, Li Yi was prepared and did not extend his hand, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face by Ren Dongxiu.
"First of all, congratulations to Sease for winning the FMVP in the Summer Finals. What do you want to say about this? Do you have any expectations for the World Finals?"
"Well, I am very grateful to my teammates. If they hadn't given me enough support and helped me in the game, I wouldn't have won the FMVP."
"In fact, this trophy is also a good affirmation of our efforts in the summer. With the blessing of the trophy, I think we will perform better in the next games!"
"As the No. 1 seed of the LPL, just like we said in the mid-season tournament, we have an obligation to create glory for the LPL, not only for ourselves, but also for the entire league. We will perform better in the upcoming World Finals... and break the curse that the No. 1 seed of the LPL has never won the championship in the World Finals."
After hearing Li Yi's words, the audience was like a flame ignited, and their emotions instantly rose. They raised their arms and shouted, "Go GT! Go LPL!"
"Believe in Xiushen, you can definitely do it."
The shouts intertwined together, like surging waves, one after another.
Everyone's eyes were sparkling with excitement and anticipation, as if they had already seen the glorious moment when GT won the trophy in the global finals.
In the live broadcast room, the barrage of comments rolled like heavy rain.
[sease is so cool, this speech is exciting! ] [GT will definitely break the curse! As the first world champion in recent years, I believe in their strength! ]
[The real hope of LPL, go for it!] Various colorful comments almost filled up the screen. The audience could feel the hot atmosphere through the screen. They were also infected by Li Yi's ambition and enthusiasm, and they were looking forward to the arrival of the global finals.
RNG, who had already picked up the good stuff in the backstage, also raised their heads after hearing this interview.
“But it’s not just... only the number one seed has to break the curse, as the number two seed we also have to break the championship drought!” Feng Ge said this while looking at uzi.
RNG was already the spring season champion before Uzi arrived.
Not cursed.
And this time this year, uzi is closest to his championship.
It’s a pity that the opponent in the final is GT, and their mid laner feels like Faker to them.
He is difficult to target. Even if he has tried all the BP methods, his opponent is still stronger. His rich hero pool makes him not afraid of being targeted at all.
Instead, it helped teammates establish a very good bp advantage before the game even started.
After the mid laner set the pace, they won the game easily.
"There is still a month until the World Championship, and there will be at least two more updates. Since Riot has set the tone for the version to favor the bottom lane, the mid lane will definitely be cut! Since we have already got the ticket to the World Championship, we just need to make more thorough preparations during this period. I believe that by then, we will definitely play a more outstanding game, and it is not impossible to win the World Championship."
Brother Feng immediately gave the contestants a lot of chicken soup. Of course, this was not blind talk. Based on facts, the contestants were also convinced.
Just use the next period of time to adjust your state of mind!
"This year, not only will I go to the Bird's Nest, but I will also lift the global finals championship trophy in the Bird's Nest!" Xiaohu was obviously a little excited by the chicken soup.
"If we can't do it, we'll retire..."
After saying that, I felt something was wrong.
"..."
"Let's go, let's go, Xiaohu, don't be so excited, go back to the hotel and have a rest first. We will go back to Shanghai early tomorrow." Brother Feng patted Xiaohu.
On the other hand, GT still had to celebrate on the spot, and took photos with the lucky audience members after the interview.
Fortunately, the competition ended early, otherwise it would have taken until one or two in the morning to finish these activities.
But everyone is exhausted. This is even more tiring than playing a game.
However, Zhou Bin on the side was indeed very excited. He also collected a lot of photos and gave them to the staff to post on Weibo.
Now that we have won the championship, it would be unreasonable not to take advantage of this wave of popularity to increase the number of fans for the club.
In fact, even if he didn't use photos to operate, a lot of people came to the official Weibo to leave messages to celebrate GT winning the summer championship and started a lot of interactions.
A lot of people hope that GT can continue to maintain this state, perform well in the global finals, and win this most crucial game.
Of course, what is pushed to the top is the true feelings expressed by fans.
[Xiu Shen is so handsome! ] The number of likes exceeded 5,000.
"Come on, come on. If we delay any longer, it will be two or three in the morning when we get back to the hotel after the celebration banquet. There seem to be a lot of famous dishes here in Nanjing. It's a pleasure for me to follow you." He Bin said with a smile.
The boss has already made all the arrangements.
As for why He Youjun didn't come, I heard from the staff that he went to participate in other activities.
Can't leave temporarily.
But they can relax more when the boss is not around.
After fighting for so long, it's time to replenish energy.
In order to maintain my good condition at the beginning, I didn’t eat very much, and my stomach was already rumbling.
I also took the high-speed train back to Shanghai early in the morning. It was early in the morning and the high-speed train was very fast, so there was no need to take a special flight.
After returning to the club, I started training.
The global finals will start very early, officially on September 27th.
But that was the qualifying round and has nothing to do with GT.
The qualifiers are played by teams that do not have a full quota for the World Championship.
The group stage officially begins on October 5th.
Since you are in the country, you have plenty of time to prepare and you don’t have to rush like you would if you were going abroad.
So I also looked for a team to arrange a training match.
Of course, we are more likely to look for foreign teams, not to hide tactics from domestic teams.
The three main teams, WE, EDG, and iG, are busy with the upcoming qualifiers.
There are no training matches scheduled for the time being.
It just so happens that there are more Korean players in the GT team, and they also have more ways to contact other teams.
The lck region likes to play training games with GT the most.
One of the reasons is that the strength of the GT team is exaggerated.
Playing with GT can gain some development, to put it simply, there is improvement.
It's not like playing against other teams is a waste of time.
Naturally, they would not refuse the LCK region and even took the initiative to invite them many times.
As I said before, no matter which division you are in, strength will ultimately be the deciding factor.
After all, it was very difficult to arrange a training match in GT before.
Now these teams are rushing up one by one.
……
9 month 2 day.
First round of trials.
IG vs WE.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
Fans on both sides were extremely nervous; it truly was a battle of fate.
It actually ended in a 2-2 tie!
Is the intensity of the first round of the bubble match so exaggerated?
Both sides have fought to the end. At this point, no one wants to lose...
One hour, ten minutes and thirty-seven seconds!
A super bladder game was born!
But in the end, WE had the last laugh.
Xiye Kassadin successfully killed the game, killed Tristana in the last team fight, and completed the subsequent harvest.
What we didn’t do in 16 was successfully done this year!
The 60e fans in the audience danced excitedly.
Rookie hung his head and finally couldn't help crying after the handshake.
He didn’t get a spot in the World Championship this year, he was just two steps away!
WE had the last laugh and completed our revenge in the playoffs, but now is not the time to be happy.
Because the final goalkeeper is EDG!
Only by defeating EDG can they get the third seed.
Otherwise, all this will be in vain.
EDG is undoubtedly a very difficult team to deal with at this stage.
No matter what his external record is, he has never performed badly in civil wars. Except for the encounter with GT this year, he has not suffered any losses in other competitions.
There is definitely pressure, but it is not to such an exaggerated degree.
September 3rd.
WE vs EDG!
In the first game, Xiye also believed in himself and continued to take out Kassadin, who helped the team win the previous round.
But this round, they seemed to have trouble adapting to EDG.
Because they directly picked a Lucian for the mid lane.
The junior brother played Lucian very beautifully.
Kassadin does feel a lot of pressure when facing physical heroes.
In addition, the factory manager frequently caught the middle and put pressure on us.
Kassadin failed to develop as expected, but Lucian developed explosively and combined with the Censer, EDG easily won the first game.
The camera turned to the younger brother, and a smile could be seen on his face.
It seems like I have found the answer to the version.
However, WE continued to use Lucian in the second game and regained the victory with its strong strength.
EDG won the third game again.
After careful observation, it seems that they are all on the blue side.
This version does have a huge advantage on the blue side!
It's even more exaggerated than the previous mid-season game.
In the fourth game, WE, who were on the blue side, successfully withstood the pressure.
Won the game! The two sides fought to 2-2 again.
Fans on both sides began to shake hands and pray.
Especially 60e, I hope a miracle will happen...
The pressure on the red side is just too great.
Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen.
In the fifth game, EDG, with its lineup advantage, snowballed faster than they had imagined.
The younger brother iboy shines with double C.
With Lucian in one hand and Tristana in the other, he went crazy in team battles.
Mystic can't do anything alone.
At thirty-seven minutes, they could only watch EDG's double Cs push the troops into the defensive tower.
Even if I rushed out and used up all my damage, I couldn't get one.
There is no way two ADs can beat you with one AD. Their health bar and damage are no match.
With the death of Dajiu-zi, WE was wiped out.
60e fans covered their faces and felt very uncomfortable.
Last year, we lost the match against IM by a small margin and failed to qualify for the global finals, so we could only watch IM enter the world competition.
And this year...it seems like there is no way to break this curse when facing EDG.
WE hasn't played in the world finals for four years.
They watched as EDG's double carries finally pushed down the base, and they stood up from their positions like zombies.
Walked outside silently.
As for the upcoming lpl expedition, I have no interest in watching it anymore.
After all, my favorite team didn’t qualify for the global finals, so what’s the point in continuing to watch?
But people’s joys and sorrows are not the same. 60e feels very confused, but the fans are very excited.
Shouted the factory manager loudly.
The factory director bowed to the audience and looked somewhat relaxed.
He really didn't expect the pressure to be so great in this game.
Fortunately, they won in the end.
GT's Lucian mid-lane tactics are still very good.
It's worth spending so much time researching.
If we continue to use this strategy in the global finals, we will definitely achieve very good results.
There is no problem for the jungler to play support in the current version.
After all, many auxiliary equipment have been reduced in price, such as the Knight's Oath, which is very suitable for the prince.
Once one comes out, the output of the AD mid laner will explode.
As expected, if you don’t understand the version well, you have to steal from these top-ranked teams.
Aren’t SKT’s limitations obvious?
Until now, Faker cannot use these heroes, and he cannot stand out in the bottom lane. Maybe the third seed will have a chance to be grouped with them, take revenge in the group stage, and show all his momentum. This World Finals may have a bright future.
After winning the game, I naturally couldn’t help but look forward to the future.
Li Yi, who was watching the game backstage, was surprised by the result but it was also reasonable.
EDG's performance this year was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, and they were even eliminated in the round of 16.
And the domestic dominance is indeed at its maximum.
The main reason why EDG encountered problems is that they were too superstitious about Lucian.
I played Lucian three times, and lost all three.
The main reason is the weakening of a skill, the weakening of the e skill!
Added a full four seconds to the cooldown.
The version of the World Finals completely cut Lucian, even WE, who were the first to develop Lucian as a mid laner, no longer uses him.
From this it is not difficult to see that coach nofe is still very rigid about the version, and if he understands it too slowly, the team will be beaten.
Last year, it was also Rox Tiger who fished in troubled waters.
If the players weren't strong, there's no way they could have played five full games against SKT.
He really attributed the strength of his teammates to himself.
EDG is desperate and trying all kinds of methods...
Nofe was introduced at great expense.
By the time the problem was discovered later, it was already too late, as the top 16 had already been waiting.
Hongmi's understanding of the version is definitely the best among coaches.
In League of Legends games, the coach is not just someone who brings takeout for everyone as everyone imagines. His impact on improving a team is beyond imagination.
It’s just that the recognition of coaches in China came too late.
And there really aren’t any top coaches.
The only ones who can be mentioned now are those who have turned players into coaches, such as Tabe.
Of course, if you want to become a top coach, in addition to studying the version, another more important thing is that the level of the team players must be good.
Otherwise, if the tactical system you researched cannot be implemented, then it would be a waste of research and have little meaning.
Li Jiongjun will now have a kind of aura of a domestic coach.
It seems to be telling everyone that Chinese coaches can do it!
……
EDG did not leave the stage after the thank-you session.
Because there was a departure ceremony, they didn't need to go backstage first and could follow directly, but they came to the side of the stage.
Because they have to put on their own battle robes.
Like RNG, there was no clothing-giving session under the spotlight.
That is a link unique to the No. 1 seed.
But getting this dress made them very happy.
For the No. 3 seed, although this is an unprecedented experience, I will definitely achieve the best result!
All EDG players are determined.
"What will happen next is the departure ceremony of lpls7!" Ren Dong appeared in the center of the stage again.
Holding the microphone in his hand, he shouted loudly: "Please welcome the No. 1 seed GT team of LPL to the stage."
"Please welcome the second seed of LPL, RNG, to the stage!"
There is no problem. GT is in the middle position, and Li Yi, as the core of the team, is also the C position among the C positions.
Under the spotlight, everyone greeted the audience enthusiastically.
At this time, Ren Dong took a deep breath and began to recite the march to war.
"Dear audience friends!
Today, we are holding the S7 LPL departure ceremony here. This is our glorious moment!
Our number one seed GT team, like a sharp sword and the scorching sun, overcame all obstacles in the summer season and demonstrated its overwhelming strength.
They won the championship with superb operations, wonderful tactics and tenacious will. Every battle is a testimony to their strength, and every victory is the cornerstone for them to reach the top of the world championship. They are marching forward to the world championship stage with our expectations, and will surely set off a storm belonging to LPL in the global finals!
Our second seed RNG team is an unyielding warrior and a beacon of hope...
Our third seed EDG team is a tenacious walker and a dream chaser...
LPL warriors, the World Finals is our battlefield, and the championship is our goal. You carry the hopes and dreams of the LPL region, and the love and expectations of countless players.
On the stage of the World Championship, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must move forward courageously. It is our responsibility to create the glory of LPL! Let us cheer for them together and look forward to their triumphant return in the global finals! "
I have to say that Ren Dong's basic skills are indeed solid.
He read hundreds of words without any pause and finished them easily.
And the momentum is also very strong, giving people a feeling of going to war with swords and spears.
"Awesome! No wonder Ren Dong is always the host. With his strength, no one else can threaten his position." Wushuang whispered to Li Yi.
Li Yi also nodded at this time.
Apart from anything else, standing in this position and chatting in a low voice really feels like talking secretly in class.
The audience at the scene also cheered enthusiastically.
The sound and the applause were tremendous.
You can really feel that everyone is extremely excited.
The World Championship is coming!
This year's World Championship seems full of hope!
The overall momentum of nature is somewhat different.
The three teams on the stage also held their heads high and looked high-spirited.
The photographer also captured this scene and kept pressing the shutter.
At ten o'clock in the evening, a group photo of the three LPL global finals teams appeared on the LPL official Weibo.
“2017, heroes go beyond!”
(End of this chapter)
