"Master Yuan, are there any teams that are difficult to deal with in this S game?"

"Master Yuan, how strong is KT? You should have seen his games."

"I see that everyone in LCK is saying that KT is the savior of LCK and they want to defend the glory of LCK."

"It's so funny. They are still defending the honor of LCK. How many times have they been beaten by Yuan Shen?"

Yuan Shen said: "I haven't watched KT's games for a long time. I'm usually preparing for the league games and don't have time to watch them. But it's okay. When the S League starts in a while, we will prepare for it."

However, after hearing Yuan Shen's words, everyone started to make a noise:

"Master Yuan, you don't take them seriously at all."

"Why do I feel like I'm cramming for a final exam?"

“I feel like we can discuss it before the game starts. I think there’s still time.”

"A bunch of defeated generals, they have already seen through it, there is no need to study it at all."

Yuan Shen finished the live broadcast at 11 o'clock and then went to rest because everyone was going out for a trip together tomorrow.

The next day, everyone from IG set off for a ten-day trip.

Happy times are always short-lived, and ten days passed quickly.

Although there are still more than twenty days before the start of the S game, all IG players need to rush there in advance for training and to adapt to the venue.

Of course, this time it is held in LCK, so the time difference can be ignored, which is a good thing.

Before departure, there is one more thing I want to complete, the LPL departure ceremony.

The IG team arrived at the LPL competition venue. Just as they were about to enter, they suddenly heard a noise behind them:

"IG! IG! Yuan Shen!"

Yuan Shen looked back and saw Letme running towards them and greeting them.

Although Letme was badly beaten in the match against IG, the league is over now and the World Championship is coming soon, and everyone has become teammates from opponents.

After Letme approached, Yuan Shen teased, "Letme, you look quite energetic. Do you have a good chance of winning the S-League this time?"

Letme smiled and said, "It's OK. As long as we can make it to the quarterfinals, it will be a success."

UZI's voice came: "Hey! Letme, what are you talking about? Who told you that reaching the quarterfinals is a success?"

UZI looked at Yuan Shen and said, "Don't listen to him. Just because he has no ambition doesn't mean our team has the same ambition."

Yuan Shen smiled and said, "I know that with your strength, the top eight is just a guarantee."

Other RNG members also came up and both sides greeted each other.

UZI continued: "If EDG is only in the quarterfinals, it will be considered a success. They will be in the quarterfinals every year, hahahaha."

Yuan Shen knew that the relationship between the factory manager and UZI was not good, and the two often targeted each other, so it was expected that UZI would say this.

Unexpectedly, the factory manager's voice came at this time: "Who is spreading rumors about us EDG? Uzi, is it you?"

After hearing this, everyone turned around and looked over, only to see the factory manager and the EDG members walking over with serious expressions.

When he saw the factory manager, UZI sneered: "Mingkai, isn't what I said the truth? If there is anything wrong, you can point it out, I admit it."

The factory manager retorted: "Who told you that our EDG's quarterfinals is a success? Has anyone in our team ever said that?"

Seeing that the two sides were about to start arguing, Yuan Shen chose to take everyone from IG and run away, not wanting to waste time.

"Hey! Master Yuan, wait for me, let's go together." The factory manager didn't even bother to attack UZI, and hurriedly followed with the EDG team.

The three teams came to the backstage lounge together. Yuan Shen led IG to sit directly on the sofa, while the RNG and EDG teams stood on both sides.

The factory manager was still communicating with Yuan Shen: "Yuan Shen, let's start scheduling training matches when we get there. By the way, there is a new version for the S tournament. Let's discuss the new version together when we have time, Yuan Shen."

UZI said: "MingKai, you are known as the best jungler in the country, why do you have to ask Yuan Shen about this?"

The factory manager asked: "When did I claim to be the best jungler in the country? Don't slander me."

UZI retorted: "Didn't you say you were the top jungler in China in S4? How could I not know that?"

The factory manager quickly explained: "That was S4, my peak period, and Yuan Shen hadn't started playing at that time, right? What's the problem?"

Yuan Shen scratched his ears. Whenever these two people got together, they would definitely quarrel. They were natural enemies.

Just then, a staff member came in and reminded:

"Everyone, get ready to go up."

So the three teams stood up and walked out of the lounge.

At the scene, the host was ready. After a brief opening speech, the host greeted:
"Now, let us welcome the No. 1 seed of this S representing the LPL region, IG!"

The IG members came to the stage, first up was Yuan Shen!
The director gave a close-up, and all the IG fans in the audience went crazy: "IG! IG! IG!"

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

"God Yuan, go for it, and strive for the quadruple crown!"

"Brother Shy, win another championship!"

After the five IG members came on stage, they stood in the middle of the stage and accepted the cheers and welcome from the audience.

"Next up is RNG, the second seed representing LPL in this S-League!"

Five RNG players appeared on the stage. Although they did not make it to the finals in the summer season, they got the second seed spot based on their points.

There were many people cheering for RNG at the scene, mainly cheering for UZI, who was very popular.

"Finally, it's EDG, the third seed representing our LPL region in this S-League!"

Finally, it was EDG's turn to perform, and the five EDG members walked onto the stage.

RNG and EDG sandwich IG in the middle, with the moon surrounded by stars.

After all the teams came on stage, the LPL management came on stage to speak.

They are all clichés, mainly hoping that LPL can achieve good results.

Then it was the contestant’s representative’s turn to speak. Yuan Shen was this representative. Fortunately, Fu Manduo had prepared a script for him in advance, so he just had to read it.

Soon, the departure ceremony was over and the three teams headed straight for the airport.

After an hour's flight, the LPL team finally arrived at their destination.

The IG team went straight to the hotel. When they entered, Yuan Shen felt the atmosphere. There were many service staff from Riot Games around them. When they saw them coming in, they took the initiative to come over to greet them.

Professional players are all accommodated in this hotel.

Of course, the LCK teams are not here, they are at their own training base.

This is more convenient, and it’s quicker to get to the stadium anyway.

Teams from other regions can only stay in hotels.

The IG team got their room cards and took the elevator upstairs.

Fu Manduo said, "Everyone go and settle down first, we will go to dinner together later."

Yuan Shen found his room and opened the door with the room card.

After a quick glance, I saw that the decoration of this room was rather old, so I had to make do with it.

After Yuan Shen packed his luggage, he took out his cell phone and took a look.

There is group news for the 2018S competition group.

This group was created by Fumanduo, and people from the three LPL teams are in it.

Fu Manduo: "Everyone, have you all found your rooms and settled in? We'll go eat together at six o'clock."

EDG, Clearlove7: "Coach Fumanduo, good afternoon, thank you for your enthusiastic help."

RNG, UZI: "MingKai, you really don't miss any chance to lick IG. If it doesn't work out, you can join IG next season."

Yuan Shen smiled. The two of them had not quarreled enough offline, so they wanted to have another one online.

It was evening and the time was almost up. Yuan Shen walked out of the room, and sure enough, other people also came out one after another.

Fu Manduo was waiting outside, using his phone to notify those who hadn't come out yet. Of course, in addition to IG's players, RNG and EDG's players also came out, and everyone gathered together to discuss where to go for dinner.

Today is just the beginning and there is no training scheduled, so I am relatively free and can spend some time enjoying life. However, starting tomorrow until the end of the S game, I probably won’t have this kind of life anymore.

Finally, everyone decided to try some local barbecue.

Everyone set out from the hotel and used their cell phone navigation to find a barbecue restaurant.

After I found it, I felt it was okay. There were quite a lot of people there, which means it can't be too bad.

After entering, everyone started looking for a place to sit.

However, at this moment, something outrageous happened.

"That... isn't it Faker? It seems to be Faker." Baolan seemed to have discovered something.

Everyone saw it and found that it seemed to be true.

At this time, Faker was wearing casual clothes and having dinner with two people. Yuan Shen didn't know these two people and thought they were Faker's brothers or friends.

Suddenly, Faker looked over here and noticed the IG, EDG and RNG players.
Especially Yuan Shen, Faker was stunned when he saw Yuan Shen.

The LPL team didn't bother them, they just found a place to sit down and started ordering food.

The factory manager muttered: "SKT didn't make it to the S League this year. I heard it was pretty bad."

Scout said: "Brother Xianghe was screwed badly."

Xiao Ming echoed, "I also think he was tricked. Their current jungler, Xiao Hei, is really outrageous. Sometimes his operations... feel like an actor!"

Abu reminded: "Don't say such things carelessly. If it gets out, it will have a bad impact."

The LPL group was eating and chatting happily.

After dinner, everyone returned to the hotel lounge.

After a simple wash, Yuan Shen lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone. The whole network was now discussing the S game.

Various analyses have been conducted to determine who will win and which division has the greatest chance of winning.

At the same time, Riot's official team rankings and player rankings came out.

In the team rankings, IG naturally won the first place without any surprise.

The second place is KT, the number one seed of LCK.

The third place is AFS, the second seed of LCK.

The fourth place is RNG, the second seed of LPL.
Fifth place is G2, the number one seed of LEC.

For Yuan Shen, this kind of ranking is just for fun and should not be taken seriously. If you take it seriously, you will lose.

Then there are the top twenty players that are released every year.

Yuan Shen was naturally ranked first.

The second place is Theshy.

The third place is BDD.

Fourth place is Caps.

The fifth place is Rookie.

Yuan Shen felt that this ranking was a bit to take into account the feelings of other regions, and deliberately put some players who should not be ranked so high at the front.

It can’t be that the first few are all from the same region, because fans from other regions will definitely have ideas.

It's not impossible to do so.

Yuan Shen was playing so much that he didn't know when he fell asleep.

After sleeping until the next morning, Yuan Shen checked his cell phone.

Fu Manduo sent a notification in the group: "Let's gather at nine o'clock, eat something together, and arrange the tasks."

It is now half past eight. Yuan Shen gets up, washes, and then goes to check in and comes to the special training room.

There are several computers in this area, which are used for training.

Fu Manduo was waiting inside. When he saw Yuan Shen coming in, he greeted him, "Eat something first."

Yuan Shen noticed that there were quite a few lunch boxes on the table next to him. Yuan Shen walked over and opened one. There were steak, vegetable salad, mashed potatoes and other things. Yuan Shen picked up two at random and sat next to him to eat.

Other members of IG came in one after another and ate something first.

A moment later, everyone arrived.

Fu Manduo said, "We are going to start training now. Among all the teams, ours should take the shortest time. I have confidence in you. Of course, I hope everyone will take it seriously. Although we are very strong, if we take it lightly and underestimate the enemy, we may fail."

"I have a training match scheduled for you. It will start in twenty-three minutes. Get ready."

Yuan Shen called out, "Prince Ning, you fight first, I will take a look at the situation first."

King Ning nodded: "Okay, let's learn a little bit about the power of foreigners."

Rookie said: "King Ning, be serious and don't let down the team."

Prince Ning laughed: "How could I fail? I was just talking in my sleep."

Everybody smiled.

Baolan complained: "I've never seen such a narcissistic person, I'm really impressed."

Soon, everyone finished their meal, sat in front of their computers, turned on their computers, and started practicing in the training mode.

The time was almost up, Fu Manduo said, "Okay, let's get started. I'll contact them and you guys can recruit people."

Fumanduo stood behind the IG players and began to arrange tactics and BP.

Yuan Shen played with his phone for a while in the back. After everyone entered the game screen, Yuan Shen came over to watch.

Judging from the opposing IG, it seems that they are playing a training match with FNC.

You know what, FNC's lineup is quite strong, with Caps in the mid lane.

The bottom lane is Rekkles and Hylissang.

These are all talented players, the best of Europe.

Although sOAZ in the top lane does not have a very outstanding advantage, he is very stable. After all, he is a veteran player.

Just as Yuan Shen thought, IG and FNC did not have it easy.

The top lane can withstand the laning pressure from Theshy.

Caps in the middle lane can compete with Rookie, or at least prevent Rookie from gaining much of an advantage.

Who will have more advantages mainly depends on the hero restraint relationship, and the players' own strength is very close.

Then comes the bottom lane. Rekkles is quite strong in the bottom lane, but he likes to develop in the laning phase.

It should be said that the style of their entire division is like this. They focus on developing in the bottom lane and do not deliberately seek kills in the laning phase. It is quite difficult to get a kill in the bottom lane.

Just after twenty minutes, the two sides were still evenly matched, with similar economic levels, which could be seen from last hits, kills, and defensive towers. After all, these were the only sources of economic resources.

The time was until thirty minutes, when FNC suddenly seized on a mistake and started a team fight, causing IG to lose some players, and then they went after the Baron.

Ning Wang wanted to grab the big dragon, quite excited:

"Pull aside, I'm going to fight alone! This dragon is mine!"

"Attract the other side's attention, I'm about to enter the field!"

"Punishment! The dragon is... Where's the dragon? Where's my dragon?"

But it failed and the opponent's advantage began to expand.

However, IG did not collapse like this. Theshy TPed around and started a perfect team fight, pushing FNC's Baron to the bottom and destroying it.

The two sides fought back and forth for more than 40 minutes, and the opponent's lineup began to exert its strength. The opponent's lineup was obviously stronger in teamfights. Relying on the lineup advantage, FNC finally won the game. (End of this chapter)
