Chapter 255 Meeting Chen Sheng and Lee Sang Hyuk by Chance, the LPL Players Were Flattered
The champion spots for the Spring Split in major regions around the world have been announced one by one, which also means that the most grand MSI international event in the first half of this year has begun.
That night, SKT continued to practice more and focused on teams they believed were threats to them in this year's MSI, regardless of size.
In this way, time passed and it was May 5th in a blink of an eye.
On this day, everyone from SKT embarked on a journey to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
After landing, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Everyone was very tired from the long journey. Kkoma was still holding on, directing the staff to install the equipment in the temporary training room.
Chen Yiqiu, Li Sanghe and others have returned to their rooms to rest.
When we came out again, it was already dark and it was nine o'clock in the evening.
"Hey, did you notice yesterday that everyone from other divisions seems to have arrived, and we are the latest group this year."
During the meal, Li Zaiwan whispered to everyone and pointed not far away.
Everyone turned around and saw a group of blond and blue-eyed foreigners sitting not far away. When they took a closer look, everyone was happy.
It turned out to be an acquaintance - G2.
"Hello!"
G2 also spotted everyone from SKT. Ah P immediately stood up, waved enthusiastically, and walked over quickly.
The rest of G2 followed suit, and jungler Trick grinned and said, "We were still talking about you just now... Oh, the idol of all of us, the great SKT T1, are you going to dominate MSI now?"
"Please leave us some way to survive. We also need honor, don't we?"
The jungler obviously didn't have a high emotional intelligence, and when his words of praise came to his mouth, he gradually turned into a yin and yang.
Of course, no one in SKT was willing to listen to what he meant.
Because except for Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk, everyone else present is actually not familiar with English. There is no translator around everyone, so they can't communicate normally.
Seeing the other party gesticulating excitedly, everyone vaguely heard about the greatness, SKT T1 and the like, and thought that this guy was also their fan in the professional circle.
"Thanks, Crab."
Li Zaiwan twisted his fat butt and thanked him with a smile.
Pei Junzhi didn't look away and leaned lazily on the chair.
Not to mention, this posture, coupled with the three stars on the chest, really looks like the big devil of SKT T1.
But the real devil, Faker, had already stood up and shook hands with everyone humbly.
"In other words, you guys are really too strong this year. Meeting you at this year's MSI is simply a terrible thing."
Ah P was already acquainted with everyone, so he didn't have much scruples about what he said. He spread his hands very directly and shrugged.
That look seemed to tell him that after getting the news that SKT was promoted to MSI, his whole mentality collapsed.
"Yes, we were very confident about this MSI. Believe us, all of us in G2 maintain a very optimistic attitude towards this journey... But when I see you, I am really a little desperate, brother. "
Ah P pointed at Chen Yiqiu: "Why are you always so strong? Please show some of the regular rules of a champion top laner."
Chen Yiqiu looked at him speechless: "Is it really okay for you to curse me in front of my face?"
"NO, NONONO."
Ah P immediately shook his head when he heard this: "How can this be a curse, Reaper, you are my favorite professional player, you are my fan... Oh no, I am your fan."
"Speaking of fans...the group of Latin American brothers who came before are your crazy fans...the top laner in their team actually wants to introduce his sister to you...well, this is a good suggestion, you need a girl Friends, if you are interested, I can help you connect, what do you think of this proposal?"
"I don't think so."
Chen Yiqiu shook his head expressionlessly.
Deep down in my heart, I have begun to criticize the directness of Europe and the United States.
Ah P, it’s true, don’t you pay attention to the news in Asia?
Now that his teammates are around him, how dare he say such a thing.
If Jin Min and I were to hear it, the two of them would probably start fighting on the spot.
Besides...
He had already seen the group of people who had just walked out of the bathroom through the 'hints' of other good brothers in G2.
This group of people had colorful hair, and among them the top laner was a big man with bare chest hair and rough facial features.
All I can say is that a chill ran down my back, as I could already imagine what the other person's sister looked like.
"Oh, by the way, let me remind you... Just so you know, the LPL team is here too, and this time they are not the same team."
Everyone in G2 didn't stay here long. It's not that they didn't want to spend more time with SKT, a world-class team, but SKT obviously had more important things here.
Moreover, there is no translator on both sides now. Except for Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk, they stand here and stare at each other because they don't understand the language.
It would be a bit too embarrassing to stay here.
When SKT heard what G2 said, they were all startled.
Especially Chen Yiqiu.
He was not surprised when the LPL participating teams arrived. Due to some event reasons, SKT was indeed the last team to arrive in Sao Paulo this year.
but…
What is called more than just a team...
MSI stipulates that only the spring champion of each division can qualify.
Is it possible that there are several Spring Split champions in the LPL?
? ? ?
"...I probably understand."
Just when everyone was thinking hard and puzzled, Chen Yiqiu had already seen a group of people walking in at the entrance of the restaurant.
They spoke familiar Mandarin with accents from all over the world.
Among them, several figures are familiar, and this group of people is very large, far from being as simple as a team.
"EDG...RNG? And IG...right? What are they here to do? Are they going to watch the game live?"
At this time, Little Peanut also discovered this scene and immediately said in great surprise.
"No, I think they may have all 'qualified' for the competition. Well...otherwise, why would their coaching staff be here?"
Li Zaiwan noticed the coaching staff around the LPL group.
There are many faces that are quite familiar to them.
"What are they doing?"
Even Kkoma was a little surprised and confused.
"One autumn."
As the two parties approached, Chen Yiqiu heard a familiar voice in the crowd.
Turning around, I saw that it was Letme who had shaved her round head.
"Baiyun...!!"
Chen Yiqiu was also surprised.
Baiyun is one of the few close friends he has in LPL. Back then, the two of them lived in the same dormitory.
It can be said that we are really brothers in distress.
As for Bai Yun, although he was a bit petty in private, he never had anything to say to him.
Although he had visited Letme a few times before returning to China, due to RNG, they didn't have much chance to talk in detail. Mainly Chen Yiqiu. Every time he goes back here, he is very nervous, so Chen Yiqiu is really surprised to meet him at this moment.
"Uh... Kurotsuchi?"
Letme looked embarrassed when she heard this title. She paused and shouted, "Are you Kurotsuchi?"
"What Kurotsuchi, why are you here? Are you publishing a book?"
Chen Yiqiu came over happily and took the initiative. The others in LPL, who had kept a straight face and pretended to be calm, suddenly trembled in their hearts.
To be honest, I was a little flattered.
Especially when Chen Yiqiu came over, the rest of SKT and Lee Sang Hyuk followed him, which made them feel a subtle illusion.
——SKT took the initiative to come towards us. I am super. Can we be on par?
"Why publish a book? We are invited by the official to be a training team for WE this time."
Letme is very confused about Chen Yiqiu's always teasing him about publishing books.
But Youdao said too much, so naturally he became concerned.
So Letme thought more than once during this period that since Yiqiu said this every time she saw him, it seems that he really has some talent for publishing books.
I also have the potential to become a great writer!
If one day, he really becomes famous...well, after winning the championship, he can consider publishing an autobiography. The first book must be given to Chen Yiqiu, so as to highlight the friendship between the two of them.
Chen Yiqiu just didn't know what Letme was thinking at this moment, otherwise he would be very speechless.
He's not short of paper, so why do he need books?
That thing is hard, and it can step on the horse's butt.
But what Letme said just now reminded Chen Yiqiu.
"Training? Officially organized?"
"Yeah, we all are."
Letme pointed to the people behind him with a smile: "Like EDG, and us...Although we lost, LPL's performance in international competitions has been poor in recent years, and you know...Oh, so this time the official It’s a big effort…”
After saying that, he hesitated to speak.
Chen Yiqiu understood what he meant.
I guess this has something to do with him.
In another world, although S7 officials also created sparring teams and the like, those were during the S7 Intercontinental Championship and World Championship.
As for MSI, it probably hasn’t been done yet.
Now in advance, we can only say that as a Chinese player, Chen Yiqiu has done so well in the LCK. Counting this spring split victory, he has won the LCK championship three times.
Whether inside or outside the competition area, or at Penguin headquarters, the pressure on LPL officials must be considerable.
The application of the sparring team this time may be to gather the resources and masters of the entire competition area and work together to win the MSI championship this time, defeat SKT, and defeat...Chen Yiqiu.
"Reaper, long time no see."
At this time, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Chen Yiqiu took a look and found that it was Yu Shuang and the others.
Did LPL charter a flight this time? Did they all come on one flight? Maybe they arrived too late, everyone in the LPL had already arrived early.
"Hello."
Facing Yu Shuang, Chen Yiqiu was still very polite.
He really doesn’t have many acquaintances in the LPL division, except for Letme before he became famous, and Yu Shuang is barely half of them.
After all, they were interviewing him every time. Under the special arrangements of the LPL competition, Yu Shuang also secretly extended an olive branch to Chen Yiqiu.
“We played really well in the spring split.”
"Crab, LPL is also very strong this year."
Chen Yiqiu glanced at the LPL crowd.
EDG, RNG, and WE are now the most popular and strongest teams.
Even teams like IG, which is not very prominent in the league, are here.
Because although they are not good in the league now, the mid laner Rookie's personal ability is very strong, so it is perfect to be used as a training partner for WE's Xiye.
"If I had known we would have called our brothers here, the LCK officials would not be able to help us."
Li Zaiwan already understood, shaking his head and starting to mutter.
"Stop talking nonsense. Riot Games almost hates you SKT. LCK officials don't really want you to win the championship. There are so many teams in the region that want you to die and even set up a sparring group for you. What a joke."
Pei Junzhi's words are sharp and direct.
During this period of time, he has been relatively silent, but his occasional speeches always catch people off guard and hit the nail on the head.
"Hmm...Does Letme have a good relationship with Brother Yiqiu?"
Little Peanut saw that Chen Yiqiu and Letme were very familiar and affectionate, and asked curiously.
"I heard that he is one of the few friends who was in LPL before Yi Qiu."
Lee Sang Hyuk explained, then stepped forward and began to take photos with several slightly excited LPL players.
These LPL players are really excited. According to their thinking, they usually don't have access to Faker, such as children, but this time, by some strange combination of circumstances, they unexpectedly encountered Faker.
Moreover, it was Chen Yiqiu who came over on his own initiative, so they didn't have to be scolded for licking Faker, and they could successfully get autographs and photos.
Wait until you return to China to start a live broadcast, enlarge the photo twice and hang it in the live broadcast room.
It can be just as full as it needs to be.
"Then that's it for today, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
There were too many people at the moment, so Chen Yiqiu didn't waste time for others to eat. He briefly chatted with Letme and decided to invite him to dinner alone tomorrow before preparing to leave.
But before leaving, there were a few people who wanted to take photos with him and Lee Sang Hyuk, so they were delayed for a while.
In this gap, Chen Yiqiu suddenly discovered that Uzi in the crowd had not spoken. He was even different from everyone else. Everyone else was in high spirits at the moment. Even if they pretended to be aloof, there were traces of it.
He was the only one who didn't pretend to be cold, but he didn't take the initiative to come over. Instead, he lowered his head and played with his phone alone, looking like he had touched it and cared about it.
He waited until one of SKT's human resources left before he raised his head, his expression not very good.
"Puppy, we met you just now, why don't you say hello."
Xiaohu said with relief: "That incident of yours was not intentional. Let it be done in the past."
"I know."
Uzi sighed: "But... you don't understand."
Xiaohu opened his mouth, a little embarrassed.
What do you mean I don't understand?
Don't you just remember that Bae Junzhi mentioned a few words during SKT's live broadcast? Is this the case?
"Forget it, let's eat. After dinner, go back and rest. I have to get jet lag today."
"You haven't turned around yet? It's been a few days."
Xiye, who was not far away, was a little surprised when he heard the sound.
"You do not understand."
In this regard, Xiaohu answered for Uzi: "Jet lag varies from person to person. We have always been very slow in getting rid of jet lag."
"……Fine."
Xiye nodded doubtfully.
"Hey, Yan Junze, are you familiar with Chen Yiqiu? That's awesome. I haven't heard you mention it before."
On the other side, other people have begun to gossip about the personal relationship between Letme and Chen Yiqiu.
There were whispers.
Uzi's meal was not a pleasant one.
Very unpleasant.
