Chapter 159-The Eternal Hunting Twins, the competition officially begins!
(I forgot how many monthly votes I got last month, but I definitely got a thousand. This chapter has ten thousand as an extra update, to even it out!!)
"Okay, our team atmosphere is pretty good. Just say whatever you want to say. I don't want to keep some things in my heart and waste time. Everyone has a good personality. Chengluo, you have to learn to communicate actively. Your Chinese is already very good."

"Wenbo, Xiaoming, you need to pay attention next time when you're on the line. Don't keep getting hooked. We won't be able to play like this."

Rookie said comfortingly.

Yuan Shen on the side calmed down and walked over to touch TheShy's head. TheShy, who had a bowl-cut hairstyle, had plenty of hair and felt almost as good as a ragdoll.

"There's nothing we can do. The enemy jungler keeps going downhill, and it's hard for us to fight in the laning phase."

Jack argued quietly, while Xiao Ming beside him reminded him to sit up straight.

"Ani! No, it's not that I won't tell you, I want to start a group..."

TheShy looked reluctant, but he had no choice.

The person who loses the Solo game will be punished.

And Yuan Shen’s request was to touch his head.

I don't know why I have such a strange hobby.

"Leave the teamfight to me next time. You can start a teamfight when you play as Maokai. Why would you start a teamfight, Captain? If you just rush in, you will be killed in seconds."

Rookie looked helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

He really likes the current atmosphere of IG.

Everyone has a good personality and can accept criticism and shortcomings. There is no need to worry about no one taking the initiative to raise problems when they arise, and the atmosphere is managed to maintain a happy atmosphere.

Yuan Shen was very strict with them.

Now Jack and Xiao Ming are not afraid of anyone except Yuan Shen getting angry.

After all, he is the boss.

Before they knew it, a tragically thick barrier had built up between them and Yuan Shen.

Next time we meet, maybe I will call you "Master".

"After we go back, we should prepare seriously. Tomorrow we will play against RNG. We should play well and try to get off to a good start!"

Fu Manduo drank some chicken soup as usual, then turned and left.

He feels relieved that Yuan Shen is in IG.

He no longer has to worry about daily training and coaching of the players.

He and Rookie played more of the role of psychological counselors and caring older brothers, listening to TheShy and Xiao Ming complain about Yuan Shen's trash can.

After the meeting, Jack and Xiao Ming went back to the training match arm in arm to continue their duo queue, while TheShy was practicing different heroes.

Based on the changes in the version, Yuan Shen assigned them a number of heroes that needed to be practiced.

Treant, Poppy, Titan, Ekko, Fiora, Jayce, even Gyrocopter, Ryze, Vampire, and Viktor...

They all need to practice these top lane heroes.

Of course, Zzitai chose Ryze and Viktor, whom he was more familiar with, as well as the three mythical gods in the top lane.

TheShy chose an offensive top laner and a late-game core like Vampire.

IG's two top laners can form two different tactical systems.

Although I don’t know what Yuan Shen’s intention was in making this arrangement, the effect of the training match was very good.

"What are you thinking about? The game hasn't started yet. Don't be so stressed."

Rookie patted Yuan Shen on the shoulder. He could feel that Yuan Shen was under a lot of pressure recently, but he didn’t know why.

"I'm fine..."

Yuan Shen smiled, but was still a little hesitant.

There are only two things he has been doing recently. One is to study Zwada and Xiangguo madly, studying their playing styles and ideas.

Another way is to accumulate points through ranking and practice as many jungle heroes as possible.

The jungle position is a new track for him. Past experience can bring indirect help, but cannot form direct combat power.

Season 6 is also a new challenge for him.

"A new season brings new challenges. It is normal to have pressure. Pressure brings motivation."

Yuan Shen stretched and turned to look at Rookie.

"I have been studying all the major teams during this period. I can only state my conclusion. Among the domestic teams, our biggest rivals are RNG and EDG.

LGD may be able to pose a threat, but they won't be too strong this year unless the jungler and support issues are resolved.

After changing the top laner, the Snake team's strength did not improve, but its potential decreased a lot. The mid and jungle are their biggest weaknesses.

QG's words..."

Yuan Shen smiled and said, as for QG, let the bullets fly for a while.

In his memory, QG's performance in the regular season of the spring season was not bad, but the one-minute BO5 rift between the mid and jungle in the playoffs directly broke the team.

I don’t know what will happen after GimGong joins QG, but it won’t be good.

Swift's team-dominant personality, coupled with his hot-tempered brother GimGon and Doinb's screams, I'm afraid they'll have to blow up the QG base to feel comfortable...

"In my opinion, IG's current strength should be ranked in the top three."

Rookie gave his own judgment. During this period, they have played training games with almost all the strong teams and have a rough assessment of the strength of their opponents.

Yuan Shen shrugged, without commenting, and just gave a reminder.

"Leave the domestic situation to me. I will give you the conclusion directly when the time comes. You can focus on LCK, especially the reorganized ROX and Samsung."

"Of course, there is also SKT."

Yuan Shen is very clear that compared to the big earthquake in LPL, the changes in LCK are not that big, but everyone is holding their breath and wants to regain the lost honor of LCK.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

As the founder of the new dynasty, IG will be targeted by Riot in various ways in the new season.

It is too difficult to win two consecutive championships.

Even winning the MSI and S titles in the same year is extremely difficult.

He must work harder so as not to be helpless when facing a strong opponent.

What the system provides him is only the quantification of the degree of strength he has become and the rating of his specific strength.

If they want to win the championship, they have to work together.

"I understand. Don't worry, I'm very familiar with LCK."

Rookie has long been accustomed to Yuan Shen's style.

In the words of Yuan Shen, this is called planning for defeat before planning for victory. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat.

"Unknown Feeling"

When Yuan Shen and Rookie returned to the training room, Jack and Xiao Ming immediately stopped talking and instead started discussing the cooldown time of each other's summoner skills in a serious manner.

"Look at you, you scared them. I think you'd better recover. They are just children."

Rookie has taken off his braces. His teeth are much straighter than when he first came to IG, and his eyes narrow into slits when he smiles. It’s just that the food has been good recently, so he looks a little fatter.

"It's okay, just look at me."

Yuan Shen blinked, walked over quietly, and grabbed the two men's necks.

"Woc! Brother Yuan, please don't do that, it's cold!!"

The temperature in Shanghai in January is not very high.

Although the air conditioner is on, Yuan Shen often feels cold hands and feet, and can only warm his hands with a hot water bottle.

"You little bastards, you said something wrong in the meeting today, right? Who are you trying to show off to?"

"That's not true..."

Xiao Ming shrank his neck and complained: "Bang and Wolf are too fierce in the laning phase, and you don't care about us, so it's hard for us to beat you."

"I can't control it. If you're new, just practice more. You guys saw the video just now. Blank was lurking in the bottom lane the whole time. How can I get there?"

Yuan Shen rolled his eyes. In addition to replacing the top laner, SKT also introduced a new jungler.

Xiaohei, Blank, and Xiangguo’s good friends.

SKT's playing style was the same as he remembered.

The jungler and support work together, but the support does not roam.

The top laner plays by himself, while the mid laner is responsible for commanding and leading the jungler.

After the failure in the S5 World Championship, Bang became the core of SKT, worked hard, and his overall strength improved a lot.

The last time I watched an interview with LCK, it seemed like Bang was showing signs of going bald.

Yuan Shen couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw them fighting so hard.

Turning a person into a ghost, I am really a bad person!
"You guys also have to be careful when you play against RNG tomorrow, don't let them get blown up again."

Yuan Shen poked Xiao Ming between the eyebrows.

These two little things are only one or two years younger than him, yet they keep acting cute every day.

We are all young people, who is not a baby?

Wasn't he just a few months old when he turned eighteen?

"RNG, Xiangguo and Blank will also come down."

She Keke said.

Yuan Shen on the side also nodded.

RNG's playing style was different from what he remembered.

When Uzi was not around, RNG in S6 played the coordination between mid, jungle and support, focusing on top, mid and jungle.

Wuxin is just a pressure-resistant position.

The current RNG is somewhat like last year's LGD.

Looper held his position steady and even gained a small advantage with his personal strength, but the team's main tendency was towards the bottom half.

The first target of Xiang Guo and Xiaohu's cooperation in the mid and jungle is Uzi in the bottom lane.

"We still need to practice. As long as we don't collapse in the laning phase, they won't dare to attack the mid and jungle."

Rookie is very confident.

Although Xiaohu is strong, Song Yijin is the champion mid laner of S5 and is not afraid of any challenge at all.

"I understand the truth, but don't be so harsh next time. I'm not unwilling to listen to you if you talk to me nicely."

Jack muttered quietly, he just didn't pay attention to details normally, there's no need to get so angry.

"I don't want to PUA you. This is not for your own good, but for our own good. If we want to win the championship, everyone has to do their best and solve their own problems, including myself."

After Yuan Shen finished speaking, he walked straight to his computer.

"Come, watch the video. In this wave, your Lucian used his ultimate to sweep the enemy and walked in front of Xiao Ming. Who can protect you?"

In the picture, Jack's Lucian moved forward and was hit by Wolf's Titan's QR flash. It was just an ordinary wave of consumption suppression, but it turned into a zero-for-two situation.

This is Lucian who established an advantage in the early stage with his help.

"Are you playing like this and living up to the advantage I helped you build up earlier? Ah? If these two kills were given to Cheng Lu, he definitely wouldn't... Never mind, Cheng Lu will give them away too, I won't give you the kills next time."

Yuan Shen pinched his eyebrows.

The current IG is somewhat different from what he imagined.

The imagined IG has endless potential, is youthful and full of vigor.

In the real IG, there is a reckless top laner, a careless AD, and a novice support. Only he and Rookie are still trying their best.

It's clearly a concentration camp for troubled teenagers!

"And this time, Rookie has already given the signal but he still won't leave. If you don't eat this cannon cart, you will lose a piece of meat. Isn't it better to be the one who abandons the cart?"

"goose……"

Xiao Ming on the side had already laughed like a pig, while Jack's face turned red. He wanted to say something but couldn't refute.

What he said makes sense, what should I say?
What Can I Say? ? ?

"Alright, alright, practice on your own. Zizi, you can play with Tree and Chengluo, or Tree vs. Victor. Pay attention to the details, and we can discuss it together after you're done."

After Yuan Shen arranged the training content for everyone, he turned on the video.

There are already a lot of them stored on the desktop.

Xiang Guo and Factory Manager’s game videos and research notes were all put together.

However, what he is watching now is not the jungle video, but the video of TheShy's training game.

As he looked at it, Yuan Shen thought of other places.

He actually knows TheShy very well.

Based on his past and present lives, as well as the contact and understanding he had gained during this period, he was able to clearly judge TheShy's personality and behavior.

His analysis of TheShy is based on three aspects.

First, it is the way of cognition.

TheShy's cognitive style tends to be realistic, which means he cares about his own data, especially offensive data.

He has observed TheShy's solo queue videos. As a player who can play both jungle and top lane, TheShy will often mark the opponent's jungler position.

Many times he is not brave enough to be caught or die, but he knows someone is coming to catch him, but he thinks he can change or he is not afraid. This means he has awareness, but his attitude and way of dealing with it are different.

This is very different from Yuan Shen’s previous understanding of TheShy.

However, there is an example to prove this.

Before becoming a professional player, TheShy went to SKT for an interview to be a jungler. The examiner asked, what should you do if the opposing jungler disappears?
TheShy's answer was to find the opponent and kill him. This answer is a typical sensory cognitive method. If he answered that I would remind my teammates when I do something, then it would be intuitive.

From this we can also see that TheShy's underlying personality cognition style is definitely inclined towards the sensing type, but SKT has always only liked junglers with intuitive cognition.

Therefore, it can be concluded that TheShy's way of judgment is emotional.

When facing a possible gank by the jungler, it is safe to retreat. This is not necessarily the best option, nor the most effective way to show the show, but it is the most correct and reasonable way. If you do this, it is a rational way of judgment.

The essence of rational judgment is to judge based on right and wrong.

But TheShy is different. If someone comes to catch him, can he kill one or all of them?
If we withdraw, then there will be no discussion at all, that’s not good.

Don't retreat, fight again, then you'll have a chance to show your abilities, good.

The emotional way of judgment is to judge based on good and bad.

All this started to change after S13, when we became more team-oriented, more stable, and more trusting of our teammates.

His experience on Weibo in 22 was not very good, but it was definitely the best year in the second half of his career.

Even TheShy said in an interview that he was not mature enough in his early years, but now he has become much more mature.

The perceptual lifestyle is manifested in that they play the game in a very Buddhist and casual manner. It seems that they do not have a strong desire to win or lose. What they enjoy is the process of the game rather than the result.

He prefers to keep the opponent from being eaten rather than kill him alone.

Therefore, it is true that he likes to develop, but he did not say it in full. The full answer should be that he likes to develop himself and at the same time prevent the other party from developing.

From TheShy's debut to his S8 championship, he had not achieved any results at this stage. For a professional player, he had a strong desire to win at this time. He had a very clear goal, from having no achievements to getting the best results possible.

TS at this stage is very ruthless and has the drive to lead the team to victory on its own, and has a strong sense of purpose.

And now TheShy is still in the most naive fantasy stage of a teenager...

Yuan Shen pinched his eyebrows.

TheShy User Manual

This thing really exists.

How to use TheShy to guide him to a more perfect stage is what Yuan Shen is most interested in at the moment.

He did a personality analysis on TheShy. Originally, the historical TheShy can be divided into five stages.

In the five years from 2014 to 2018, TheShy came to LPL after hitting a wall in LCK, so he became a professional player with the idea of ​​proving his dream.

During this period, TS has clear goals, and his game ideas are simple and passionate, just like the male protagonist of a hot-blooded youth comic. He has a typical ESFJ personality and an Archon type personality.

After winning the S8 championship and then suffering a crushing defeat in the S9 mid-season tournament, he became lost. Winning the championship too early led to losing more fun in the game, so he wanted to be the most dazzling character on the field.

Therefore, the Spring Season of S9 was the time when TheShy performed the most terrifyingly personally, and it should also be the happiest time for him. He was free and had no pressure, and he could show his operational talent without any scruples. At this time, he had an ESFP personality, a performer personality, which is actually the underlying personality of TS.

From the S9 mid-season tournament to the S10 bubble tournament, the teammates left one after another, IG was completely disbanded, Rookie's condition declined, they often ranked in the top three in the regular season, and were always eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

This result made TheShy doubt himself. He thought that he didn't do well, so the team couldn't win. Because he couldn't lead everyone to win, everyone left, and everyone was unhappy. So TS's choice was to maximize what he was good at. Break through the opponent in the laning phase. During this period, TS's personality became an ISFP explorer personality, which is an extremely independent, unpredictable, and gambling personality. This is also the reason why he was so easy to catch and die during this period.

In S12, TheShy became very contradictory. The fourth dimension had changed, but the second and third dimensions had not yet completely transformed. So TheShy was extremely unstable this year. The ISFJ guardian personality is a very gentle and passive personality. This personality focuses on protection, and it manifests itself in becoming more and more team-oriented.

This reminded Yuan Shen of the evaluation of a certain runner-up mid laner: he was too stubborn and difficult to change.

A runner-up AD said that it is difficult to do things in the bottom lane.

TheShy in S11 and S12 was in a dormant period until S13.

TheShy in S13 experienced a long period of slump, so he rekindled his desire for the championship.

The teammates have been replaced by a group of veteran star players. They are definitely capable, but they are all commanders within the team and are the big brothers of their respective teams.

TheShy doesn't like to fight for power with others, so he continues to maintain the role of accepting orders. Through practice and adaptation, the second dimension is finally adjusted to intuition, and the third dimension is transformed into rationality.

By the time of the World Championship, TheShy officially transformed into an INTJ personality, an architect personality. This personality is the trump card of a team. He is not the core, but the kind of behind-the-scenes boss who does ruthless things with his ultimate.

And this positioning is most suitable for TheShy.

It took TheShy seven years or even longer to transform from his underlying histrionic personality to his final architect personality.

It took Faker nine years to transform from a debater-type personality at the bottom to a commander-type personality at the end.

Looking at the notes on the screen, Yuan Shen felt mixed emotions.

These are the predetermined trajectories of fate.

It is something that happens in a time and space that is not affected by oneself and does not produce the butterfly effect.

The analysis of TheShy can help him better understand how to guide TheShy toward the path IG needs.

Of course, it can also maximize TheShy's talents and nature.

Kkoma, Bengi, Fumando, and Damu worked together to suppress the negative side of Faker's personality and slowly trained him to become the trump card of SKT.

Yuan Shen can do the same now.

Today's TheShy is like a blank sheet of paper, just like the protagonist in a passionate youth comic.

He has pride, talent and potential.

Originally in history, his target was Faker.

And now, his target is Yuan Shen.

Before coming to IG, TheShy was full of vigor and vitality. The name of his live broadcast room was "The Strongest Operation on Earth". His playing style was ferocious and delicate. He was not afraid of anyone and just wanted to do it.

Because of this, he also has a side that disobeys power, does whatever he wants, and is arbitrary.

Unless he can convince someone sincerely.

And this person is Yuan Shen. In his performance at the World Championship and the All-Star Game, Yuan Shen has demonstrated everything a top laner can do.

TheShy has watched Yuan Shen's game videos more than once, and has new insights almost every time.

It’s just like doing reading comprehension. Sometimes you don’t notice anything at first glance, but when you turn around and think about it carefully, you realize that a certain wave of single kills was planned three minutes ago.

The more he studied Yuan Shen, the more shocked TheShy was.

Why can someone perform laning and teamfighting to such perfection?
Every operation is flawless and every wave of choices is meaningful.

Or maybe, his level is not high enough and he can't understand?

Yuan Shen once said, "If you don't play top lane and don't play against me, you won't know how strong I am. It's like a frog in a well looking at the moon. But as long as you play against me, you will see me like a mayfly seeing the sky."

"Genius is just the threshold to meet me."

Although Yuan Shen couldn't help laughing after he said this and turned his back to everyone, Yuan Shen's words pierced TheShy's heart like a sharp sword.

His original career goal was Faker because SKT rejected him.

He wanted to let SKT know what a mistake it was to miss him.

But now, he no longer thinks about winning one or two championships, he just wants to prove himself.

……

As time goes by, all LPL teams are in hiding, waiting for the start of the spring season.

The new version of S6 is a huge test for each of them.

They are about to welcome a new version that has never been seen before.

January 2016, 1, Shanghai Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center.

The new competition venue is bigger than last year.

The venue can accommodate more than a thousand people.

All twelve teams are present.

"Let's welcome all the LPL teams to the venue. The first to enter is the IG team that won the world championship last year!"

Under Ren Dong's high-spirited tone, one team after another walked onto the stage.

The version of League of Legends has been updated, and professional players have also welcomed a lot of fresh blood.

Stepping into the battlefield again, Yuan Shen looked at the many new faces and couldn't help but feel excited.

However, before the excitement lasted long, I saw a blood-pumping scene on the big screen.

The promotional video for the new season begins playing.

Deep and exciting music began to play, and right at the beginning, a naked man with his upper body exposed appeared taking a bath.

Just when everyone was laughing and thinking that the official was clearly indicating Uzi, the camera switched and the factory manager lifted up his wet hair and gave a cold smile to the camera.

"Fuck! The factory manager is so wet and tempting!"

“I have to say, after cosplaying Widowmaker last time, the factory manager has become more and more sexy.”

"I'm afraid it has developed some strange properties!"

"Hehe, you know nothing. It was Yuan Shen's idea to cosplay Widow last time. What a scheming 1!"

What appeared next was EDG's training room. The first shot was of EDG's new team uniform with a black background and white stripes, and a big EDG printed on it.

After taking a shower, Mingkai picked up his team uniform and put it on casually.

Tian Ye smiled, stretched out his hand, and bumped fists with Deft.

Pawn has his back to everyone and slowly turns his head, standing in the center of the screen.

Flando, wearing the EDG team uniform, appeared. He gently tossed a coin with the LPL logo printed on it. The camera kept zooming in and focusing on the LPL logo on the coin.

I walked in and arrived at the LGD training room.

Everyone on LGD also made similar moves.

Every contestant will be treated with an independent camera.

But only EDG, LGD, and IG, the three teams that participated in the World Championship last year, can enjoy this.

The other teams either served as background or just flashed by.

Accompanied by passionate music, huge IG makeup photos appeared.

New and old people on IG, wearing black printed short-sleeved shirts.

Panda TV is printed on the left chest and the IG team logo is printed on the right chest.

Above the team logo is a small star.

This means that IG has won the world championship!
All IG members gathered together, watching eagerly!
After all the teams appeared, the camera turned and a long staircase appeared.

Every team is climbing up. The camera keeps sweeping across the stairs. We can see that the better the performance of a team in the previous season, the higher up the stairs they will appear.

The speed at which the camera swept across the stairs gradually increased.

Appearing there was the LPL Spring Championship Trophy, and a figure sitting on the top steps, closest to the championship trophy!

Surprisingly, it was Yuan Shen, well-known to LPL audiences!
At this moment, Yuan Shen sat on the top step, clasped his hands together and rested them on his chin, looking down at the team members who were still climbing the stairs, revealing a gentle and confident smile.

Finally, when the IG team reached the top of the stairs, Yuan Shen loosened his hands, supported his knees, slowly stood up, and turned to look at the championship trophy.

What appeared in the camera was Yuan Shen's profile and back.

"Gudu."

I don’t know who made the first sound, but the whole audience suddenly shouted and screamed.

"IG!!IG!!"

"EDG!!!"

“LGD!!!”

These three teams are the three teams that represented LPL in last year's World Championship.

Because IG won the championship in the end, EDG in the quarterfinals and LGD in the semifinals were not blamed too much.

They all fell into the hands of our own people, what is there to say?

What can you expect from a third seed?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we finally won the championship?

In addition to these three teams, the paper strength of RNG, QG, Snake Team and VG is also quite strong.

RNG introduced S4 top support and Uzi's return.

QG recruited top laner Gimgoon and mid laner Dade.

I don’t know what kind of insider deal they made with EDG, but in the end, they traded Saint Spear for Tong Yang’s Snake team.

VG, which bought EasyHoon from SKT and signed Dandy from S5, forms the Korean mid and jungle, is quite strong.

WE, OMG…

Every team has changes, and every team is chasing the highest championship trophy, climbing the ladder, constantly moving forward, and forging ahead.

Putting Yuan Shen at the top, the director's meaning is very clear, this is our LPL's first world championship FMVP! !
He is recognized as the world's number one top laner in S5 and is also the man who has achieved the highest achievement in the LPL region.

People's demand for the first place is always the highest.

Even a little behind next time will be a step backward.

What's more, Yuan Shen's transformation to jungler is a new challenge for both him and IG.

Today, other LPL teams are challengers.

Either someone else will succeed in challenging the legend and take his place, or IG will continue to sit firmly in first place and no one will shake it.

In just three minutes of video, the audience's anticipation and enthusiasm were aroused.

This is also the significance of the promotional video.

Zhang Hongwei is a fan who has been watching League of Legends games since S2.

During WE's heyday, he was 60E.

During the heyday of the royal family, he was a bullshitter.

During OMG's heyday, he was 59E.

And now, he is a glorious son of a bitch, a huge fan, and King Kong.

In a nutshell, he is a fan of the strong and the champion.

Of course, Uzi did not have any championship at that time, not even the LPL league championship and the Solo championship.

There is nothing shameful about this.

Eighty percent of the e-sports circle are champion fans.

In e-sports, being bad is the original sin, and the winner is the king.

If it's not true love, who would support a team from a division that hasn't won a championship in seven years?

Zhang Hongwei, who bought a ticket to watch the opening match, stared at the promotional video on the screen, especially when Yuan Shen appeared, he felt like his whole body was burning.

It's hard to feel the emotional atmosphere if you're not there.

"IG, you must win!!!"

……

"It made me laugh to death. You know, the makeup artist originally said he wanted to add abdominal muscles to Mingkai, but after an hour of work, the result was still one piece."

Our reporter Yu Wenbo was talking excitedly about the gossip he had heard, while Yuan Shen rolled up the LPL brochure in his hand and temporarily played the role of a supporting actor.

"Mr. Mingkai, do you have anything to say to yourself after seeing this scene?"

Jack coughed twice and deliberately imitated the factory manager's voice and said, "Ahem, don't say I'm a wet temptation, that's my death stare, don't save it, makeup artists are all liars, I will never believe them again, and I will never shoot this again. Now I just want to blow up the me in that big monitor, preferably with one punch to blow up his pig head..."

In the IG lounge, everyone laughed together again.

Even Fu Manduo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Should we do this? Now it seems that the scene of us holding the trophy together is the most boring one."

Zizi pinched his brows with his thumb and index finger, thinking hard. He felt that the promotion method he came up with was destroyed by EDG.

The popularity on Weibo is not as high as the factory manager's "wet temptation".

"Hey, we've all seen it. Excessive publicity is not a good thing."

"Yeah, we still have to achieve good results this year."

Listening to She Keke and Xiao Ming's overly steady words, Yuan Shen shook his head.

"That's not the case. Don't they want to hold the trophy? They have to have one too, right? Look at the stars on your chests, and you'll know what you should do."

"Alright, alright, get ready. We're going to face RNG at the opening ceremony today."

Fumanduo smiled and clapped his hands. The group competition was a bit unfriendly to IG.

The opponents studied in the first round could not be beaten in the second round. The second round had just ended, and not much of the previous research results could be used.

Version changes are still very frequent.

Moreover, the opponents they value most, whether it is RNG or EDG, are in Group A.

Even the Snakes are in Group A.

On the contrary, there are no strong players in Group B except LGD and QG, and VG and WE are also average.

In terms of competitive pressure and difficulty in qualifying, Group A far exceeds Group B.

There is no way. Every season the team changes its members and the team's strength also changes.

As for the group stage, we can only refer to last year’s results, which is not very objective and unpredictable.

In Yuan Shen's opinion, dividing the seed pool based on last year's results can only ensure a general balance in the strength of the teams.

But it is impossible to achieve perfect balance.

Being in the same No. 1 seed pool, although IG and LGD both made personnel changes, who did LGD replace?

It’s okay for top laner MaRin, after all, his strength is there.

Just because you can’t beat him doesn’t mean MaRin is bad.

On the contrary, last year's MaRin was a complete dimensionality reduction attack against any top laner other than himself.

The world's second-best top laner, fully qualified.

However, in Yuan Shen's eyes, Eimy, who played as a jungler, was simply pretending to be a professional player.

The condition of support Aya Hirano is also very worrying.

Although the triple C of MaRin+Wei Shen+Imp is worth looking forward to, the shortcomings of the jungler and support are too obvious.

"Not as Good as a Hair of EDG"

After the opening ceremony, the contestants also entered the venue.

IG's first opponent is RNG.

The S4 champion top support, paired with the top domestic mid and jungle Xiangguo, Xiaohu, and Uzi.

Such a lineup has given many Royal fans and Godzilla hope again.

There are only three people left in IG's championship team, and Yuan Shen has also changed his position.

No one knows how strong the new players TheShy and Xiao Ming are.

On the contrary, the five players of RNG are all experienced, and they are slightly better than IG in terms of both performance and overall strength!
The game hasn't started yet, but fans of Yuan Shen and Uzi have already started arguing in Tieba, forums, and live broadcast rooms.

A good start is the principal's only request to everyone.

No one wants to lose the first game either.

RNG is nominally only a team in the third seed pool. No matter how strong it is, it is already a lower-level challenger against IG.

Regardless of the unreasonable combination, Yuan Shen has only one goal.

Smash him.

……

"Welcome back, audience friends. The first game of the 2016 LPL Spring Season is about to begin, with IG from Group A facing off against RNG. You have all been looking forward to it for a long time!"

"Yes, it's a new season and a new version. Recently, many teams have been studying the new version's play style. I feel that the changes are relatively large. Maybe a few dark horses will emerge and change the landscape of our LPL."

The commentators today are Jide, a new commentator from LPL, and Ze Yuan, who has already experienced a season.

The game quickly entered the BP interface.

In the new season and new version, the advantage in BP has also changed.

As the top team in the No. 1 seed pool, IG had the right to choose the side in the first game and directly won the red side.

There are too many strong heroes in this version, and it is impossible to ban them all.

The blue team can only take one first, while the red team can at least take down two strong heroes, and has the option of a Counter position to restrain the opponent.

RNG on the blue side first banned Tsar, Leblanc, and Viktor.

Three-ban midfielder!

With Yuan Shen transitioning to jungle, a new player in the top lane, and Jack in the bottom lane, RNG resolutely placed all restrictions on Rookie.

IG on the red side banned Elise, Lucian, and Jarvan.

"RNG is easy to target, but Rookie has a deep hero pool, so it shouldn't have much of an impact." Jide said.

"Hahaha, I don't agree with you when you say that. Isn't IG also using triple ban as a jungler? Isn't this targeting?"

Guan Zeyuan winked at Jide, who had just transferred from LMS and obviously couldn't follow the joke.

But the audience in the live broadcast room understood.

"Okay, okay, BYD's Lucian is the jungler, right?"

"BIG courage, are you not afraid of Godzilla?"

"Hey! The past was the past, and the present is now. Now buddy is King Kong, let's go Solo!"

The heat in the live broadcast room was ignited instantly, and the fans, Godzilla, emperor fans, extreme fans, and piglets were all in a melee.

……

"Yuan has switched to jungle, and no one knows how strong he is. On the contrary, I believe everyone has been looking forward to TheShy's transformation into top laner for a long time. Many of his Rank highlights videos have a lot of views."

Guan Zeyuan smiled and continued, "I think Yuan's transformation to jungle is a failure. If he was in the top lane, RNG would never be able to do something like triple ban mid lane. After all, he is the top laner, so we still have to give him some respect."

As soon as he finished speaking, RNG directly locked onto the Minotaur.

A grab assist.

Yuan Shen's expression was indifferent.

He had already anticipated this move.

The Minotaur in S6 can be said to be Mata's signature hero this season, and he is known as the Bull Demon King in training games.

During the spring season, Mata was in excellent form, and his performance and play were completely worthy of being called the best support in LPL.

However, after the summer season, his performance showed a significant decline, his mistakes gradually increased, and in the world championship, he even appeared as "Windtalker Zyra".

But no matter what, the current RNG is definitely a strong team.

"Give me Kindred."

Yuan Shen didn't hesitate at all.

In the spring version, the Thunder has been chopped down several times, and now it has truly achieved a hundred flowers blooming, and all nine ultimate talents have the opportunity to appear.

Kindred is also one of the jungle heroes he is most proficient in at present.

Except the prince.

"OK, Bobby has chosen too."

Fu Manduo made a decision.

"Hold your soul and live with you!"

Lamb Spirit and Wolf Spirit coexist as one and appear at the same time in the hero selection box on the first floor of IG.

On the first and second floors of IG, Kindred of the Eternal Hunters and Poppy of the Divine Hammer, chained down.

"Besides Graves, there is also a jungle shooter!!"

"Wow!! Poppy actually appeared so soon??"

I remember that Guan Zeyuan and I created a lively atmosphere on the scene.

In the version updated before the New Year, Poppy was reworked.

From the original Iron Ambassador, he has become the Holy Hammer of Resilience.

The original painting has not changed, but all the skills have changed.

In the version of the LPL Spring Split that started, Poppy had just appeared on the game server, but I didn’t expect IG to use her right away.
