Chapter 355-Summer Season, Aim for the Triple Crown
"As the crystal at SKT's base exploded, let us congratulate IG for defeating SKT and helping the LPL region win the Intercontinental Championship!"

"Congratulations to IG, congratulations to LPL, and also to Yuan Shen for turning the tide and once again showing us his strong personal strength and unparalleled courage!"

The commentator was very excited.

On the competition stage, everyone from IG stood up to celebrate.

"We won! We won! Nice!" Baolan cheered wildly.

TheShy found Yuan Shen, stretched out his hand, and the two high-fived.

"Your Sword Demon is awesome." The Shy doesn't use fancy words, but just uses the simplest words to praise.

"It's OK, I performed normally." Yuan Shen said modestly.

Coach Fu Manduo rushed up from backstage to join the celebration:

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. You played well! Today you are the heroes of the LPL region!"

"Now go over and shake hands. There will be an award ceremony later."

So the IG players lined up and walked towards SKT together.

First of all, Huni, the top laner, is in a red-hot state at this time.

Among all the SKT players, he is the weakest and has the worst mentality.

However, when shaking hands with The Shy, he was still timid and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

After all, the gap in strength is there, and he knows it well.

Next, jungler CUZZ.

At this moment, CUZZ had a serious expression and was unsmiling, and it seemed that he had not yet recovered.

Then there was the mid laner Faker, who nodded politely when shaking hands with everyone on IG, but looking at him like that he must have felt very uncomfortable.

This is the umpteenth time he has lost to IG. Even if Riot has added new competitions, can he still not overcome that huge mountain?
Finally, it’s the bottom lane combination. Bang looks pretty normal. After all, he’s not very competitive, so he wouldn’t be too upset if he lost the game.

When it was Wolf's turn, Wolf threatened Yuan Shen: "This is just an entertainment game, see you in the S game!"

"No problem." Yuan Shen smiled.

He could see that Wolf had a lot of emotions towards him. After all, this was not the first time they had snatched the championship from SKT, from S5 to now, it was impossible for him not to have some emotions.

Moreover, Wolf is a famous wolf warrior from the Han country, and he has always been a hardliner in foreign policy.

After shaking hands with the SKT players, the IG players walked to the center of the stage.

At this time, the other three LPL representative teams also came up, WE, RNG, and EDG.

Four LPL teams stood on the championship podium, while LCK ranked second and LMS ranked third.

Although it seems that there are prizes in every region, history will only remember the names of the champions.

The host came on stage: "Congratulations to the LPL region for winning the 2017 Intercontinental Championship Asia Championship!"

The atmosphere on the scene reached its peak:

"LPL! LPL!"

"IG! IG!"

After the award ceremony, everyone prepared to leave.

At this moment, a staff member came over to Yuan Shen and said:

"Please ask Yuanshen to go to the LPL region interview booth for an interview."

Yuan Shen found the interview seat of the LPL region and met Luo Xin who was in charge of the interview.

"Congratulations, Yuan Shen! Your performance today was really perfect. If it weren't for you IG, I think we would have lost the championship." When Luo Xin saw Yuan Shen, she turned into a little fan girl on the spot and smiled happily.

"Just play normally. Our division is already the number one division, so it's only right that we win the championship." Yuan Shen responded.

"Wow! So confident!"

"Master Yuan, please stand over here. The interview is about to begin."

Yuan Shen and Luo Xin stood together and looked at the camera.

The interview began at the director's signal.

Luo Xin said: "Congratulations to LPL for winning the championship again. We have invited IG's starting jungler, double champion Yuanshen, to accept our interview."

"God Yuan, please say hello to everyone."

Yuan Shen took the microphone from Luo Xin and said:
"Hello everyone, I am IG's starting jungler, Yuanshen."

The audience was boiling with excitement:

"God Yuan! God Yuan! God Yuan!"

After the cheers died down, Luo Xin began to ask questions:
"Okay, now let's start asking questions. The first question is, in the penultimate teamfight, which was the crucial teamfight before you took the Baron, you were ambushed by SKT in the river bushes and attacked first."

"You counterattacked perfectly without vision, and you were out of touch with your teammates. You beat four SKT players by yourself. It's like a god descending to earth! How did you do it? What were you thinking at the time?"

Yuan Shen responded: "This was a subconscious reaction. I didn't know there was someone in the bush at the time. When I saw the Debang flag, I subconsciously fought back and retreated."

“Although I was out of touch with my teammates, I felt that the opponent chasing me like this seemed to be giving me an opportunity, so I went for it.”

Luo Xin tried to understand: "So this is a neural reflex unique to masters. It doesn't require thinking, it relies entirely on muscle memory! Of course, the most important thing is courage! Ordinary players would definitely not dare to do it."

"Second question, from the game we can see that you and the top laner TheShy have a very good cooperation. As a new super top laner, TheShy's play style is unique in the top lane. As a senior, how do you evaluate TheShy as a player?"

Yuan Shen replied: "He is a rising star in the top lane position. I believe that with his talent, he can create a world in the top lane even without my help."

Luo Xin praised: "This is a very high evaluation. I hope The Shy can continue to work hard and realize his talent as soon as possible."

"The last question is, S7 will be held in China. This is a very meaningful S game. At the same time, this is also your chance to win three consecutive championships. It may even be your only chance. Master Yuan, do you have confidence?"

Yuan Shen smiled: "I think this question should not be asked to me, but to those who intend to compete for the S7 championship. They are the challengers."

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
"Fuck, he's crazy, he's done everything."

"That's right. Master Yuan is the one guarding the ring. Whoever dares to challenge him can go up."

“I hope my teammates can give me strength.”

"Three consecutive championships! Unprecedented and probably never to be matched again!"

The interview ended and Yuan Shen returned to the LPL viewing room.

People from the four LPL teams are all inside and everyone is celebrating.

Seeing Yuan Shen coming in, they all greeted him:

"Master Yuan! Fortunately you were strong today, otherwise I would have failed miserably."

"I can imagine the look on Han Za's face if LCK wins the championship."

"It's nothing more than saying that LCK is the top region, and the S-League championship is not as convincing as the Intercontinental Championship."

"It seems like something they can say."

Yuan Shen said, "Now that we've won the game, let's go have a meal together to celebrate."

"After all, when we return, we will go from being teammates to being rivals."

Everyone was happy to hear that they were going to have dinner together, but when they heard the second half of the sentence, they suddenly felt something was wrong.

That’s right, we became opponents after we returned. It felt great to be teammates with Yuan Shen, but it was very short-lived.

Everyone in LPL packed their things, left the lounge, left the competition venue, and found a hotel to eat.

Yuan Shen came to eat, but the people from the other three teams came to socialize.

"Master Yuan, how do you think we should play as junglers in the summer season? Which heroes are good to play?"

"Master Yuan, how do you think we should play top lane in the summer season?"

"Master Yuan, can you teach me how to be a crocodile?"

"God Yuan..."

……

After the Intercontinental Championship ended, all IG players returned to LPL. After a short vacation, the summer season began.

The official arranged the opening match of the third round of the summer season's same group competition, IG vs. RNG!

Yuan Shen’s words immediately came true. They were teammates before, but now they have become rivals.

In the next few days, the IG team resumed training and prepared for a beautiful battle.

At the LPL game, the venue was packed with people before the game even started.

A bus with the IG team logo passed by the competition venue: "Here we go! It's IG!"

"IG! IG! IG!"

"God Yuan, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

"Shy, please be gentle and don't make Letme cry."

In the car, Ning Wang exclaimed: "There are so many people. It is really more fun to play in LPL. The venue is big and there are many people."

Baolan complained: "Won't you be nervous when there are so many people? What do we need so many spectators for?"

Prince Ning laughed: "What do you know? It feels good when there are many people around, and it makes your blood boil. But you are right, you are Princess Blue after all."

"Ning Mazi! Are you annoying?"

Before the game even started, the jungler and support had a conflict.

Coach Fu Manduo said: "Everyone, today is the opening match of the summer season group competition. It is very crucial. Everyone should cheer up. Our opponent RNG is very strong. We need to deal with it seriously."

Soon, the bus entered the parking lot of the competition venue, and after the bus stopped, everyone from IG got off.

After getting off the car, everyone was about to enter, when another car came over.

There is a big R on the car body!

RNG!

"Oh, they are coming." King Ning seemed a little excited, like a leopard that smelled its prey.

Yuan Shen teased, "King Ning, if you want to go up so badly, why don't you go up and fight? I'll leave the spicy hotpot to you. Let's see who is more reckless between you and him."

Ning Wang refused and said, "Forget it. Today's opening match of the group competition is very important. If I lose, won't my fans scold me to death?"

Soon, RNG's car stopped in front of IG, the door opened, RNG got out of the car, and then noticed this side.

"Coach Fumando."

"Coach Fox."

The coaches on both sides greeted each other and shook hands.

There was also eye contact between the players.

Yuan Shen noticed UZI, and saw UZI smiling and saying:

"I didn't expect that we would become rivals now. To be honest, I still prefer to be teammates with Yuan Shen."

Ning Wang said: "How about you come to our IG as a substitute?"

Hearing this, the ADCs on both sides were unhappy.

Although SMLZ didn't say anything, his expressionless face said it all.

Baolan muttered something with a sullen face.

"Being your teammate? That's too much torture..."

"It's not like I haven't given you chances before, but it's useless!"

Yuan Shen smiled and said: "The results of the summer season are crucial. They determine whether we can go to the S game, so I will be frank in advance. I will not show mercy."

UZI also became serious: "I think so too. Although the title of Triple Crown sounds great, as an opponent, I will try my best to cause trouble for you."

"Wait and see."

Yuan Shen didn't feel anything. He just wanted some interesting opponents.

Otherwise, it would be too boring.

IG and RNG entered the competition venue together, then parted ways and went to their respective lounges.

In the lounge, Yuan Shen put down his bag, took out his mobile phone and started playing.

The BP and tactics have been planned in advance, and now we just have to wait for the game to start.

The internet is full of discussions about today’s game.

#LPL Summer Season Group Match Opening Game#
#IG VS RNG#
#Yuan Shen is coming#
The top three trending searches are all related to the competition.

Moreover, the third place belongs to Yuan Shen, simply because Yuan Shen was here when IG announced the starting lineup today.

At the same time, Yuan Shen also saw some interesting news about the previous Intercontinental Championship.

Many netizens copied comments from the LCK from the outside world.

"LCK should just disband. There is no way they can beat IG."

"As long as IG is still here, as long as Yuanshen is still here, there is no hope for LCK."

"I found that if Yuanshen is removed from IG, we have a chance to beat IG!"

"How about we donate some money, issue a bounty mission, and find someone to assassinate Yuanshen?"

Seeing this, Yuan Shen scratched his head. What was going on? Was it still dangerous to play in the game now?

The assassination attempt has already happened, they really dare to think of it.

However, the fans on the LCK side are more extreme, and it is not completely incomprehensible.

To achieve the goal, the means justify the means.

"It's almost time, get ready to go on stage." Fu Manduo reminded.

Everyone stood up.

"This is the first game of the third round of the summer season. It's a new beginning. Come on, everyone!"

At the commentary booth at the game, Guan Zeyuan, Jiede, and Rita were ready.

Guan Zeyuan explained: "Dear viewers, the opening match of the 2017 League of Legends Professional League Summer Season will be held, with our double champion IG facing RNG!"

Remember to answer, "Both teams' performances in the Intercontinental Championship were remarkable. Now that they are back in the LPL region, they have gone from being teammates fighting side by side to being opponents. I hope they can both perform well."

Rita said, "Now, let's turn the picture over to the scene."

On the live competition stage, host Yu Shuang appeared. After a brief opening speech, she welcomed the audience:

"Let's welcome the players from both teams, starting with the double champion team, IG!"

Yuan Shen led the IG team to the competition stage, and the audience cheered loudly:

"IG! IG! IG!"

After IG made a brief appearance, they lined up in the middle of the stage.

Yu Shuang continued: "Now, let's welcome RNG!"

The five starting players of RNG walked onto the stage, with UZI at the front.

"RNG! RNG! RNG!" You finish your performance and then I take the stage. RNG fans are also very supportive.

Players from both teams came on the field, stood face to face and shook hands.

Yuan Shen faced off against the spicy hotpot.

After shaking hands, the players from both teams turned and walked towards their respective seats.

The game starts soon.

Entering the BP stage of the first game!

In this game, IG is on the red side and RNG is on the blue side.

The first round of ban heroes.

RNG: Spider, Rek'Sai, Lion Dog
IG: Policewoman, Ashe, and Tam.

Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "RNG banned players in this game, targeting the jungler position, and they are all carnivorous junglers. It seems that they are very afraid of Yuan Shen's ability to pace the game in the early stage."

"On the other hand, IG's idea of ​​banning people is also very simple. They just target Uzi. Caitlyn and Ashe are both signs of supplies. As for Tam, although it seems to be banning supports, it is actually limiting the protection of ADCs."

Rita agreed, "Yes, this is the first game of the new season, and the version has been greatly changed, so both sides are relatively conservative in banning and follow the previous ideas, but I think there may be something new when selecting players."

Enter the hero selection stage.

The blue team's RNG locked onto the Prince on the first floor.

IG got the Xayah and Rakan combination on the first and second floors.

Immediately afterwards, RNG locked Galio and Rambo on the second and third floors.

I remember analyzing it: "RNG picked the mid, top and jungle. This seems to be a good combination. Galio, Jarvan, and Rambo! The mid, top and jungle are very powerful in the early game! The level 6 wave is very critical!"
