Chapter 66: Friendship first, competition second, LPL third

 Huh? What's going on? Why did the recognition increase so much all of a sudden?

Could it be said that if you kill King Ning a few more times, you will be recognized by Da Sima?

Zhong Sen sat upright and suddenly became interested.

After successfully hunting King Ning, the bonus doubled again to 80%, and all his attributes skyrocketed by about 30 points.

For the next ten minutes, Zhong Sen kept staring at Ning Wangsha and successfully killed him to the point of becoming a super ghost.

Da Sima's recognition has also been rising, reaching 61%.

In the 21st minute, assistant Thresh couldn't bear the humiliation and surrendered again.

This time, Prince Ning’s veto power lost its effect.

The remaining three teammates followed suit and agreed to surrender on 4/1.

"War criminals 197 emerge!"

"Develop i9 and break the foreign blockade, worthy of the craftsmen of a great country!"

"The national server is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Do you look down on the national server? Have you paid the price now?"

"For a jungler of your level, there's a reason why IG's summer split is so bad."

"The king of the Korean server deserves to be ranked first in the Chinese server? This is a slap in the face!"

"The opponent Mantis is really too cruel. If IG doesn't make it to the playoffs, it's all my fault!"

"..."

"To be honest, this Mantis is very lucky. The tricks in the middle are useless, otherwise there would be a chance."

PDD said from the side, trying hard to save the face of Da Sima and Prince Ning.

Originally, I came to the live broadcast room for promotion. After developing the i9, I directly promoted it in reverse.

Da Sima stood quietly aside with a sweet smile on his face.

It is really a pleasure to watch the king of Korean server defeat the national server.

If I keep playing this game, I probably won’t be super bad, and my results might even be better.

"Next one, next one."

King Ning did not linger in the settlement interface, and returned to the team room skillfully, leaving i9's impressive record behind, and started the next game directly.

…………

Zhong Sen looked at the big word "victory" on the screen with a bright smile on his face.

At the end of the game, Da Sima's approval level was fixed at 67%.

Being able to reach two-thirds of the progress in one ranking is already pretty good.

Let’s look for opportunities later for the remaining one-third.

"Brother Zhong, come to double queue."

Leng Shao on the side suddenly said.

Zhong Sen turned around and saw that Leng Shao had quickly logged into the client and sent him a double queue invitation.

Faced with the double row invitation from Xie Tianyu, he could not refuse but could only accept it.

Two games an hour, the winning points will fall away.

Zhong Sen had no choice but to switch to the Korean server with Mr. Leng.

From the King Game to the Diamond Game, it felt a lot easier all of a sudden.

The king of the Chinese server, it is still no problem to control thunder and lightning with diamonds in the Korean server.

A wave of three consecutive victories, and today’s rank training ended gloriously.

The next day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the last six games of the intercontinental group stage started as scheduled.

The first game, M17 versus MVP.

Both teams were defeated by OMG, and both lost the game in 22 minutes.

The two sides were in a stalemate in the early stage and failed to open up the situation.

After a boring 35 minutes, a team battle broke out in the middle of the two sides.

MVP traded zero for five, destroyed M17 as a team, and got a point for the LCK division, which can be regarded as saving a little face for himself.

The second game is a showdown between the second seeds in the LPL and LCK divisions.

KT vs. RNG.

In the KT lineup, there are several old acquaintances from LPL viewers.

Mid laner General Pawn and bottom lane Deft are both Guodian’s Korean double Cs.

Assist Mata, the brain of RNG last year.

The two Ueno and jungle players, Smeb and Score, are both top players in the LCK region.

This KT is a well-deserved galactic battleship with extraordinary strength.

In this game, the two sides fought fiercely for nearly forty minutes.

On the scene, KT has always had the advantage.

But RNG played very tenaciously, clinging to its opponent without letting the opponent widen the economic gap.

In the end, RNG started a highland team battle with KT after three lanes were broken.

Deft scored three kills and led the team to play a one-for-four game, ending the game and helping the LCK division gain another point.

If RNG's loss to KT is still within an acceptable range, then the next game between EDG and JT directly surprised the LPL audience.

JT completely destroyed EDG in the middle and jungle, suffocating the rhythm and widening the economic gap to 10,000 in less than 22 minutes.

In the 29th minute, when the three-way high ground was also broken, EDG forced a group start and was beaten by JT with a zero-for-three.

At the end of the game, the LMS division finally got its first point in this intercontinental competition.

Fofo's clockwork won the MVP of this game with a record of 2-1-9 and a 100% participation rate.

In the next two games, Flash Wolves defeated WE with difficulty and scored another point in the LMS division.

AHQ even defeated KT in an upset, allowing LMS to equal the LPL in points.

The last game of the group stage, a showdown between the top seeds of China and South Korea.

SKT vs. WE.

The last wave of team battles was zero for five, and WE was directly eliminated as a team.

The economic gap between the two sides has already exceeded the 10,000 mark, and the head-to-head ratio has reached a terrifying 18:2. WE can be said to have been tortured to pieces.

SKT defeated the WE team in 24 minutes with a crushing attitude.

After twelve games in the group stage, LCK topped the list with six points and was directly sent to the finals.

The LPL division and the LMS division both have three points and both have to start from the semi-finals.

However, due to the relationship between victory and defeat, the LPL division failed to maintain its second place and suddenly fell to the last place.

There is also a gap between the top three opponents.

That night, at the gathering place for e-sports enthusiasts, the audience started shouting.

"What a fucking mess. He lost all four games and was at the bottom of the group."

"Originally I was thinking of securing second place, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even beat my brothers from the provincial team."

"I can't stand losing to LCK. How can your EDG be tortured like this by JT? Just swim back!"

"WE also travel back to pay for it, RNG boat tickets, OMG air tickets."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"After watching the four games today, I don't know how I will play in the LMS division in the knockout rounds tomorrow. I'll be thankful if I don't lose 3-0."

"Unexpectedly, in the end, the two all-Chinese classes were at odds. There is an O for Chinese, and there is an R for Chinese!"

"Friendship first, competition second, LPL third!"

"..."

In the underworld forum of Wanwan, everyone became optimistic.

"Seriously, I played great today!"

"Am I dreaming? I actually won three games today. I can't believe it!"

"I declare that the LMS division has won!"

"Tomorrow's semifinals, defeat LPL!"

"Okay, let's give LPL some color!"

"..."

In the evening, while Zhong Sen and Leng Shao were training in the Korean double queue, the LPL coaches were holding an emergency meeting to formulate tactical arrangements for the semifinals.

Time passed quietly, and it was late at night in a blink of an eye, and it was time to rest.

On July 8th, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the intercontinental semi-finals, the LPL versus LMS division game, started on time.

The pre-match opening video begins with a pre-match interview.

The first person to appear on the big screen was EDG’s jungler director.

"Of these three divisions, the LCK is stronger, the LMS has performed very well in the past two days, but the LPL feels subpar."

FW team’s coach steak:

"I think the LMS performed very well in this intercontinental competition. Every team has played a lot of things they want to play for everyone to see."

"Because our previous LMS team, although not inferior to others in terms of strength, could not perform well in large-scale competitions in terms of the selection and application of many tactics."

Then there is WE coach Hongmi:

"We expected that the opponent would send the strongest team. We didn't perform very well in the previous day's game, but we were still confident that we would do well in the first game, so we chose to play in the first game."

Players from both sides have already taken the stage, and the first game of the intercontinental semi-finals is about to begin.

The pioneers of both sides have been announced, namely LPL's No. 1 seed WE, and LMS's No. 3 seed JT.

"Brother Zhong, do you think WE can win?"

Before the BP started, Mr. Leng asked Zhong Sen.

"I believe WE can win." Zhong Sen replied firmly.

Since the LPL coaching staff chose to let WE take the lead, they must be determined to win the first victory.

The No. 1 seed versus the No. 3 seed, the advantage is mine!

…………

Magic City, LPL Studio.

The special guests and two commentators are ready to continue and start the pre-game warm-up.

"Hello everyone in front of the screen, what you are watching now is the 2017 League of Legends Intercontinental Series Asia Competition."

Remember to look at the camera and say hello with a smile as usual.

"Good afternoon everyone, I'm the commentator."

"Hello everyone, I'm Rita." Rita smiled slightly.

"For today's first game, we also invited a heavyweight guest to join us and bring you wonderful commentary."

"Hello everyone, I am PDD!"

"The two sides of the first game have been determined. WE, the No. 1 seed in the LPL, will play against the JT team, the No. 3 seed in the LMS division."

"Everyone also knows that WE lost both games in the group stage and failed to win, while JT won against EDG."

"Although this is the No. 1 seed versus the No. 3 seed, and there is a certain gap in the paper strength between the two sides, we should still spare no effort and never take it lightly." I remember saying with a stern face.

"Well, yes." PDD nodded, "To be honest, I'm already getting nervous."

"After watching the official opening, my whole body was on fire."

In the live broadcast room, the audience started commenting one after another.

"M,L,XXXL."

"First Class A, Second Class A, Third Class A."

"Teacher whore is a prostitute, and the two are split apart immediately."

"Although WE played very poorly yesterday, I still hope you can score a point for LPL."

"If you can't even beat JT, then just swim back."

"..."

"Okay, the BP of the first game has started, the blue side JT, the red side WE..."

Soon, the lineups on both sides were locked in.

Blue square JT:

Prince in the top lane, Jungle in the jungle, Rockbird in the mid lane, Ashe in the bottom lane, and Tahm Kench as support.

Red square WE:

Top laner Crocodile, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner plane, bottom lane skate shoes, assist Braum.

In the first ten minutes, both parties were developing steadily and nothing happened.

In the 11th minute, a small team battle broke out between the two sides on the top lane, and the battle ended in a two-for-two battle.

WE gets first blood and makes a small profit.

In the blink of an eye, the game time came to the 30th minute, and a large-scale team battle broke out between the two sides in the middle.

WE first killed JT's bottom duo, then moved to Baron, then killed JT's duo, and captured Baron Nash at the same time.

With this big dragon buff, WE directly expanded its economic advantage to 10,000 yuan and began to take the initiative in the game.

In the 42nd minute, WE led a strong wave of Baron and Ancient Dragon, and a wave of zero-for-three on the high ground, directly took away JT and got a good start for LPL.

"WE won first and scored the first point for today's LPL!" I remember saying with some excitement.

"Congratulations WE!"

In the LPL official live broadcast room, the barrage also began to celebrate.

"Congratulations WE!"

"Although JT is not strong, it would be great if he can win."

"Come on the remaining teams and try to win the provincial team three to zero."

"..."

…………

At the same time, in the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall, backstage in the LPL team lounge.

Watching WE win, Zhong Sen showed a smile on his face.

Score one point first, and the psychological pressure will be much less.

"Who's going to play in the second game?"

Leng Shao asked Zhong Sen and turned to look behind the sofa. The coaching staff was plotting something loudly.

"I seem to hear FW and OMG." Leng Shao said softly.

"Well, I seem to have heard it too." Sunset beside him echoed.

Young Master Leng suddenly thought of something, his face darkened, and he was stunned for an instant:

"It's over, shouldn't we be fighting Flash Wolf?"

"It's a high probability thing." Zhong Sen said calmly.

If I remember correctly, the second game of the semi-finals was indeed OMG versus FW.

But he is not sure whether the timeline will change after he is reborn.

However, from the perspective of the LMS division, the situation is very unfavorable when losing first place.

If you lose another game and fall behind 0:2, it will be difficult to recover the three match points, which will undoubtedly create huge psychological pressure.

Therefore, in the second game, the LMS division will most likely send out the strongest FW.

Only by winning as soon as possible can the morale of the military be stabilized.

Under such circumstances, LPL's response strategy is very simple.

Tian Ji races horses and chooses the weakest team to serve as cannon fodder, consuming the strongest combat power in the LMS division.

Therefore, in the second game, there is a high probability that OMG will appear against the Flash Wolves.

While Zhong Sen was discussing with Mr. Leng, Mingzhe stood up and walked over.

"Coach, who is going to play in the second game?" Leng Shao asked.

"We."

Mingzhe curled his lips and looked a little solemn.

Although he has not received official notification yet, he can vaguely guess that the opponent in the second game will most likely be the Flash Wolf.

The remaining small probability, even if it is not Flash Wolves, is AHQ, and it is definitely not the fourth seed M17 anyway.

Whether it is FW or AHQ, it is difficult to deal with them.

"The second game is between LMS Division Flash Wolves and LPL Division OMG."

The voice of the on-site Wanwan commentary came from the speakers.

"It's bad, I'm really going to fight Flash Wolf!" Leng Shao said that it was not good.

"Relax, we don't have a chance."

Zhong Sen said calmly, with some expectation in his heart.

As the overlord of the LMS division, the FW team has a lot of championships.

Several players in the team switched to the LPL competition after the LMS division was disbanded, and they are all very good.

Mid laner Maple, bottom laner Betty, and assistant SwardArt are all players familiar to LPL audiences.

Of course, the most famous one is FW’s jungler Karsa.

After joining RNG, Casa has won many championships, both in the league and MSI.

In the second game against Flash Wolves, my championship buff will definitely be very high.

A bold idea suddenly appeared in Zhong Sen's mind.
