Chapter 277 The war reignites!

The Jakarta Asian Games will officially kick off on August 8. Although the national team roster for the League of Legends event has been finalized, there are still more than two months before the event starts.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a qualifying match during this period, scheduled for June 6th.

The key purpose of forming a national team early is to make full use of the relatively free time afterwards so that the players can concentrate on running-in and playing more training matches.

After all, the players will have to participate in the intense summer season. Whether it is the national team game or the club game, it is very important for the players and they cannot be careless at all.

The summer season is related to the club's performance and ranking in the league, which affects the subsequent global finals, while the national team competition carries the honor of the country. Both competitions are very important.

Therefore, the selected national team can only show their best in both events and win honors for their respective teams and countries by running in together in advance, constantly honing tactics and improving tacit understanding in training matches.

As the coach of the Chinese team, Li Jiongjun is well aware of the tight time schedule and arduous tasks. On the eve of the start of the summer season, he decisively called the players together for a training camp to fully prepare for the upcoming competitions.

After all, once the summer season officially starts, the players will be caught in a tight schedule. If they want to have concentrated training like this again, they may only have an opportunity once a week. In this way, time will definitely be stretched.

Therefore, on June 6, Saint Gun and Uzi took the lead in setting off for the GT base. The reason for choosing the GT base in Shenzhen for training was also after some consideration.

After all, it is undoubtedly much more convenient to have two players go there than to have five players go together. Furthermore, from a practical point of view, it is impossible to go to the RNG base for training. Many factors limit this option.

But for Saint Spear and Uzi, this is not a big deal.

In fact, the club has some ideas, of course, here we are referring to RNG.

I am afraid that after Xiaogou focuses on the national team, there will be problems in the subsequent league adjustment, which will affect the league games.

But they don't have any good solution now.

You can't really let the puppy not go, right?

If you don't go to GT, you will have taken up all four places.

If the puppy goes, he can get another share.

Help the club gain popularity.

As for the Snake Team, they don't have so many tricks.

After all, the Snakes are now also a happy club.

Its value in China is second only to Lao Gan Die, and the boss is ready to run away.

The environment is so good now, if we delay any further, this LPL spot may not be sold for so much money.

And then they were lucky enough to have a national team player in the top lane, so shouldn’t they take this opportunity to find a sucker to take over?

Naturally, they are all hoping that Saint Spear Brother will go, and it would be best if he could achieve good results and win the Asian Games championship.

……

After a long journey, Saint Gun and Dog finally arrived at the GT base.

The moment they stepped into the base, their states were completely different.

Puppy had a familiar smile on his face, while Saint Spear was obviously a little reserved, with a hint of discomfort in his expression.

Saint Spear's reservedness was understandable. On weekdays, his interactions with Li Yi and other GT team members were basically limited to the confrontations on the field.

During those brief and intense moments of competition, both sides were more engaged in tactical games and operational contests, with few opportunities for in-depth communication.

Besides, he had never fought alongside them in an intercontinental competition, so the relationship between them was inevitably unfamiliar.

On the other hand, Xiaohu had played against the GT team many times in the LPL arena and had some exchanges in private, so he was much calmer when facing the GT team. After a few simple greetings, he seemed to have integrated into this group.

In order to break Saint Spear's reservedness and let everyone get familiar with each other more quickly, the team members suggested to warm up by ranking together.

In the game world, everyone quickly got into the game. In the fierce battle, the shouting of instructions and the exchange of tactics were endless.

Saint Spear was a little restrained at first, but as the game progressed, every tacit cooperation and every successful team battle brought him closer to his teammates.

From time to time, he would say "damn it" or two.

The communication between young people is often so wonderful. After a few ranked games and a few discussions about operations and tactics, the relationship between Saint Spear Brother and everyone has made a qualitative leap.

Everyone was playing games and joking around, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.

At this point, they are no longer rivals on the field, but teammates fighting side by side for a common goal.

The national team seemed such a distant title in the past.

And now, aren’t we completely closer?

After all, they are all professional players, and essentially they are “internet-addicted teenagers” who love e-sports.

Seeing that the players were gradually getting back into shape through the qualifying matches and their cooperation with each other was getting better and better, coach Li Jiongjun made a prompt decision and started to arrange a training match.

He set his sights on the EDG team and decided to let the national team start the running-in journey in actual combat. The reason why he chose EDG was very clear.

EDG has always been a representative of strong strength in the LPL region, especially their top lane, which has considerable hard power.

This is undoubtedly an excellent touchstone for testing Saint Spear's adaptability in the team and the role he can play.

After all, as a new member of the national team, Saint Spear's tactical value and room for development in the team can be accurately positioned through confrontations with strong teams.

In the first game of the training match, Li Jiongjun arranged Lin Weixiang to play first, while uzi watched attentively on the side.

Next to uzi, Cheng Lu also stood quietly, his eyes closely following the battle on the screen.

At this moment, Cheng Lu felt mixed emotions, her eyes full of envy and unwillingness.

The results of the South Korean national team's personnel selection have already been settled, with Kiin being selected as the top laner.

Khan's poor performance in the mid-season game made him completely miss the opportunity to play for his country. Unfortunately, the Korean coaching staff also did not extend an olive branch to Cheng Lu, and even the strong GimGoon was excluded.

Standing in the training room, Cheng Lu watched the intense competition on the field, and kept fantasizing in his heart: How great it would be if he could stand on the field and fight for the country.

But the reality is so cruel. He can only watch others fight for their dreams on the field as a bystander, secretly swallowing his heart full of loss and desire.

I was eighteen that year and stood like a minion.

Uzi looked at Chenglu next to him and felt his envy. From this perspective, he felt pretty good.

He still has the confidence to snatch the Asian Games starting AD from Lin Weixiang.

The two-day training time passed in a flash, slipping away like a white horse passing by.

In these short two days, Xiaohu and Saint Gun had a perfect experience.

They seemed to be in e-sports heaven, and truly felt what it was like to fight side by side with god-level teammates.

On the field, every time you make a bold and aggressive move, every time you raid deep into enemy territory, there are always reliable teammates behind you to provide steady support and protection.

Whether it is the timely control skills when in trouble, or the precise damage supplement at the critical moment, they have no worries.

The feeling of helplessness of fighting alone and without help when playing for their respective clubs in the past is gone.

Now, they only need to focus on their own operations and laning without distraction, because they know that no matter how critical the situation is, their teammates will be their strongest backing.

This feeling of being protected in all directions made them exclaim "It's so comfortable and so cool", as if a whole new door to e-sports was opened.

When the time of parting came, the two stood at the door of the club, feeling reluctant to leave.

They looked back every few steps, their eyes lingering between the familiar training room and competition venue. Everything here witnessed their growth and happiness in the past two days.

Every moment of intense tactical discussion with teammates and every cheer of victory after fighting side by side left a deep mark in their hearts.

This feeling of reluctance grew stronger on their way to the airport, reaching its peak while they were waiting to board the plane in the terminal hall.

The two sat on seats in the waiting hall, surrounded by passengers coming and going, but the noisy voices could not conceal their inner thoughts at all.

They looked at each other and caught the same emotion in each other's eyes, feeling sympathy for each other.

They have all fought hard for victory in their respective clubs, but often failed due to poor cooperation with teammates, team tactical flaws and other problems.

Now, having finally experienced the joy of fighting together with top teammates, they have to face separation and return to their respective "battlefields". This sense of gap makes them sympathize with each other.

However, compared to San Gun Ge, Uzi has experienced more major competitions and is more emotionally restrained.

He knew in his heart that his RNG team was also a frequent participant in the global finals and possessed profound foundation and strength.

However, during the two days of training with the GT team members, an idea quietly emerged in his mind, and once this idea appeared, it grew rapidly like weeds and could not be stopped - "If... I could play in the game with GT next time."

In his opinion, the tacit cooperation among the GT team members, their superb individual strength and advanced tactical system all make him see more possibilities of winning the championship.

This yearning for an ideal team environment, like a magnet, deeply attracted him.

After uzi returned to the RNG club, he quickly devoted himself to daily training and started one intense and fierce training game after another with his teammates.

However, every training match experience was like throwing another heavy stone into the depths of his already turbulent heart, making him feel more and more strongly that the atmosphere was completely different from that during the training at the GT base.

During the training process, the gap in the middle lane was like an insurmountable chasm that stood before him.

Xiaohu's performance is far superior to that of GT team's Xiu Shen. The strong dominance that Xiu Shen showed on the court is still vivid in our memory.

He can always grasp every opportunity accurately, whether it is the suppression in laning or the key output and control in team battles, it is perfect.

With excellent game understanding and superb operating skills, he can easily control the rhythm of the game and lead the team to victory.

uzi couldn't help but recall the days of training at the GT base, when he fought side by side with Xiu Shen and witnessed his wonderful performance on the court. That shock is still unforgettable.

It was also at that time that uzi deeply understood why GT was able to overcome all obstacles and win the first championship trophy of the LPL region on the stage of the global finals.

The presence of Xiu Shen is undoubtedly one of the key factors for GT team to win the championship.

Now, back at RNG, facing the current situation of the club, uzi has mixed feelings.

At the same time, he recalled that fans often compared him to the show god, thinking that they were on the same level.

But now that he has personally experienced fighting side by side with Xiu Shen and comparing the current situation, uzi felt his face getting hot. He knows very well that there is still a big gap between him and Xiu Shen in terms of team cooperation and control over the game situation.

This gap is not due to his personal lack of ability, but the impact of different team environments and tactical systems.

But this also makes uzi more eager to have teammates like those in the GT team...Lin Weixiang is really lucky.

On June 6, the 11 LPL Summer Season kicked off at Shanghai Central Plaza. The opening match of this e-sports feast was played by the Eastern powerhouses IG and JDG.

At five o'clock in the evening, the first day of the first week of the regular season kicked off on time.

It has to be said that JD.com is quite generous in its investment in the event, and they have started the regular season opening game in the past few years.

The attention has been maximized, but the current results are not satisfactory.

On that day, all members of the GT team also came to Zhengda Mall and made their appearance under the attention of everyone.

Since the competition starts with the Eastern team, the GT team in the Western Conference has no competition arrangements for the next few days.

After the show, they have to return to their home ground in Shenzhen.

However, it is a comforting thing for the GT team to have their own home court.

That is to say, the first few days of the regular season are more troublesome.

In this highly anticipated opening match of the 2018 LPL Summer Season, the IG team fully demonstrated its superb team cooperation ability.

Every position of the IG team is at the top level in the entire league.

Ah Shui had previously suffered a defeat against the GT team, and he had been feeling very excited.

After a period of adjustment and tempering, he has now successfully regained his confidence, and his eyes are burning with burning fighting spirit.

So he was particularly ruthless in the opening game and beat the opponent unconscious.

It only took one hour for the IG team to successfully sweep the JD team with a crushing force.

This hearty victory announced to the entire LPL region that IG is a strong contender for a spot in the World Finals! (End of this chapter)
