Chapter 197 Haidilao, the Four Poisons

Chapter 197 -Haidilao, four major poisons

IG won the game, but the ability displayed by IG made everyone in SKT look solemn.

"Their teamwork has improved a lot compared to last year."

Kkoma touched the non-existent beard on his chin and said solemnly.

He didn't understand when he lost to IG last year.

Fu Manduo sent him messages on Kakao Talk every day, and even took photos of the S3 and S5 championship trophies and asked him which one looked better. He was so angry.

Last year's defeat was a very serious blow to everyone at SKT.

If it weren’t for the version that favors IG too much and Yuan Shen too much.

If it weren't for Yuan Shen's personal strength, and if it weren't for the terrifying dominance of the top laner in the heavy version, SKT would never have lost.

In terms of teamwork, SKT is stronger.

In terms of team members' tacit understanding, SKT is stronger.

In terms of tactical depth, SKT is still stronger.

Except for the top lane matchup, SKT is stronger than IG in the other four positions!

But even so, they still lost.

Without Yuan Shen's sudden emergence, they would definitely be able to win the S5 World Championship, and they might even win without losing a game and win the championship!

Bad luck.

This is a summary of all LCK teams’ losses last year.

SKT is no exception.

But this year is different. This year it is no longer the top lane version.

Even if Yuan Shen transforms into a jungler, it will be useless.

This year’s version is Nakano Suke’s version, and Riot won’t favor one position for two consecutive years.

SKT has the world's top midfielder and jungler configuration.

Top laner Lee Ho Sung, mid laner Lee Sang Hyuk, and assist Lee Jae Wan.

Jungler Jiang Shanjiu, jungler Pei Xingxiong.

ADC Bae Jun-sik.

The current SKT has a perfect lineup with three Li, two Pei and one Jiang.

SKT is making a comeback with full confidence.

For this MSI, Kkoma made a guarantee with SKT’s top management.

However, after IG's first game, they smelled an element of uneasiness.

Compared with last year's IG, the current IG is undoubtedly more collaborative. In terms of tactical depth, it can be seen from the endless magical BPs emerging in their LPL.

…

IG got off to a good start with a huge economic advantage and a big score.

The barrage was full of singing and dancing. Occasionally, there would be a few people saying that Rookie flashed into the wall, and everyone took it as amusement.

It was as if no one had sprayed Jack when he was at a disadvantage in the bottom lane.

It is not advisable to output against the wind. Anyone who jumps out to sing the opposite at this time will be treated as a retarded Han Za.

After the game, Yuan Shen took everyone on IG to shake hands with the big North American brothers.

Although they lost the game, the opponent did not have a downcast face. Instead, he smiled and shook hands with everyone on IG.

Seeing the smile on the face of the big North American brother, Yuan Shen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

If this were in the LPL, I would have been sprayed so hard that my mother wouldn't even recognize him, and I would have been sprayed fiercely in the live broadcast room while holding up mourning flags and mourning sticks.

Even after losing the game, he still laughed and lost his face.

The atmosphere in North America is relatively relaxed, and their degree of professionalism is not high. Compared with teams in other regions, they are really playing games.

"Kakao is doing well in NA. He and I are brothers."

Xmithie held Yuan Shen's hand and smiled bitterly.

In this game, he was defeated by Yuan Shen.

"Forehead……"

Yuan Shen was a little embarrassed. Since Kakao went to TSM, they occasionally chatted on WeChat, but most of the time they were silent.

After shaking hands, everyone from IG went to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience.

In an instant, the five members of IG were engulfed in overwhelming cheers and applause, enjoying the glory of this moment.

The feeling of winning a game is something you never get tired of no matter how many times you play.

The LPL audience at home is so enthusiastic.

If there are IG anti-fans and Han Zafan in the live broadcast room, but those who can come to the scene are definitely IG’s true fans.

When I went back to pack my peripherals, the pregame trash talk suddenly started playing.

The next game is G2 in the LCS.EU European Division against FW Flash Wolves in the LMS Division.

Seeing the figure on the screen, Yuan Shen suddenly stopped and watched with interest.

Ah P, he is very familiar with it.

Compared to the optimistic family LGD, G2 is truly optimistic.

Ah P was the biggest contributor to S8 helping IG win the championship in history.

Today's Ah P is in his prime, at the peak of his career, and is a new generation of Dharma kings in Europe and America.

This person is really optimistic.

Pre-match chatter, Twitter interaction, P-picture genius, the first person to slap in the face, background boards for famous scenes.

Yuan Shen, who is familiar with Ah P's various deeds, immediately "spotted the elements" when he saw the footage of Ah P talking trash when he left the country.

"What's the outlook for this event? Of course it's the championship."

Ah P smiled broadly, showing his big white teeth.

"Last year, FNC lost to SKT. This year, we replaced FNC to regain the glory that belongs to Europe. SKT? You mean SKT, which didn't win a World Series last year? The Korean division has declined, and now is the era of Central Europe.

CLG? Sorry, EU>AN, we are the strongest team in Europe. As for the other teams, I forgot their names, sorry hehehe..."

"Our opponent in this MSI is only IG."

"..."

The reaction on the scene was a bit strange.

Holding back laughter? Confused? Surprised?

All of them.

Domestic audiences have never met such an optimistic and frivolous player, so unique.

Of course, the most common comment is still the same sentence.

If it's not my brother, who are you sending to?

Ah P's words basically offended all major regions in the world.

Stepping on LCK, stepping on North America, and not talking about Flash Wolves and wild cards.

Even FNC, the team with the most fans in the European region, was used by them to whip the corpse.

You know, in terms of the number of fans now, G2, which is just a dark horse, can't compare with the powerful FNC.

Yuan Shen has reason to believe that if this MSI was not the home court of China, Ah P was afraid of being beaten to death by the surging audience, and it might be possible to step on IG.

It's amazing.

Jack is also very frivolous in his live broadcasts. Now it is really a big frivolous meeting a small frivolous, and he admires it.

Soon, the game between G2 and F2 began.

A-P chose Ryze.

The current Ryze is not much different from the S5 version except that the damage is weakened and the CD of the skill is increased.

Riot announced the plan to rework Ryze as early as last year, but it is still just a plan until now.

Slow efficiency?

There is no way, too many things need to be changed in S6.

Too many heroes need to be reworked.

A-P came to the middle lane and flashed the team icon to the opposite side.

It was not G2, but IG.

The LPL audience immediately booed.

To be honest, A-P is too coquettish.

So something big happened in this game.

Karsa, who has always had a good temper, seemed to be madly targeted at this Ryze, and killed him three times in the early stage, making this Ryze's record 0-3.

The Flash Wolves team has always had a good rhythm in the early stage, but in the mid-game, they made their usual mistakes.

The decision to kill the big dragon was wrong.

The Flash Wolves team has had a characteristic for a long time, that is, it is invincible before 20 minutes.

Whether you are the world champion or not, I have the final say 20 minutes ago!

But at 20 minutes, after the big dragon refreshed, Flash Wolves seemed to be under a spell, and had no idea how to play or how to end the game.

This game was no exception.

The poor decisions in several waves of big dragon group fights in the middle period allowed G2 to regain some of the situation.

The style of this game was completely different from the previous one. Both teams played extremely aggressively...

Or they gave each other too many opportunities.

Both sides had a chance to win the game.

Unfortunately, Flash Wolves won the subsequent group strategy and ended the game directly.

Ah P, who said dirty words, suffered his first defeat in MSI.

When Karsa was interviewed after the game, he asked openly: "Do you remember FW's name now? If not, we can see it again in the group stage."

Karsa's words also excited the audience.

And many LPL teams have also set their sights on the LMS region, which is also from the same family.

Many LMS players and coaches seem to be pretty good?

The tragedy of G2 has just begun.

Obviously, the SKT team, angered by G2's trash talk, worked hard to teach G2 a lesson and ended the game with a huge score of 23:3.

A-P's Ekko was even ordered by Faker's Ryze.

In the 23-minute game, the data of 2-6-0 and 9-0-6 formed a sharp contrast. The last hits were 41 knives behind and the economy of the position was more than 5,000 behind.

After the two games on the first day of MSI were lost, A-P's expression full of distress and confusion immediately became a hot search on Tieba and was edited into various emoticons.

For example————

Who can stand this? .jpg

I want to go back to China.jpg

Is IG playing in the uniforms of other teams on the opposite side? .jpg

After the big brother Doublelift, he is still the only European and American player with such a high topic in LPL.

After SKT defeated G2, they faced the wild card SUP.

Needless to say, it was a crushing victory.

Then, it was CLG vs. FW.

Europe and the United States have always been rivals, and before the game, A-P started his trick again.

He posted a tearful emoji on Twitter, and manually x-on:CLG's official Twitter, posting a "0:2".

Obviously, even G2 can't beat FW, and A-P doesn't think CLG, which is even worse than them, can win.

Good brothers from Europe and the United States, go hand in hand together.

0-2 on the first day, this is what A-P meant.

However, CLG really won.

Stixxay policewoman perfectly led the rhythm of the whole game, making everyone pay attention to this North American No. 1 policewoman.

The barrage of the mouse platform was instantly flooded.

CLG＞FW＞G2.

NA＞EU.

The screen was full of human head emojis, and this joke was even hyped to the top three of the Twitter list after IG defeated SUP in the last game of the day.

Because G2 and SUP both had a score of 0-2 on the first day.

G2 is equivalent to a wildcard team?

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

The North American audience mocked wildly, and the European region also cursed.

The trolls all over the world are of the same family, and the trolls in Europe are also saying things like "the G2 team is traveling back to China", "we owe FNC a championship" and other similar words.

The first day of MSI was extremely popular!

Audiences in the global LOL circle are celebrating.

After the game, IG packed up his things and left the stadium through the player-only channel, preparing to find a place to eat.

"We will play SKT tomorrow. I don't know what their level is now."

IG still attaches great importance to SKT.

As early as the beginning of the season, Yuan Shen focused on three teams in the LCK.

SKT, ROX, SSG.

SKT is the biggest enemy at the top of the list.

However, the relationship between IG and SKT is actually very good, and they usually arrange training matches.

Of course, it was Fumanduo's relationship, but the two teams also wanted to know more about their opponents.

"It's hard to say. I don't even know whether the intensity of the LPL division has increased or decreased this year."

Rookie spread his hands. Anyway, he felt that there is no mid laner in the LPL now that can put too much pressure on him.

Pawn is like this, and Wei Shen is like this too.

Every year before the World Championship starts, many spectators come forward to give advice.

In a certain competition area, gods are fighting each other, while in a certain competition area, novices are pecking each other.

Some people think that an operating division with few mistakes is strong, while others think that a team with strong fighting skills is strong. Each has its own reasons.

But in fact, this is just the result of different styles in the competition.

After watching the LCK finals, many people will feel that the Korean team is really too strong and they don’t know how to win this year.

But once they hit the World Championship or MSI, they knew that the reason why the LCK had no flaws was because the pressure they encountered was not enough to cause problems with their operating rhythm.

Before playing against each other, no one dares to assume that they have mastered the strongest play style in the current version.

The IG team's bus stopped at the place where they were eating.

A Japanese food store.

The team members got out of the car noisily.

“The Japanese food here is good, at least the sashimi won’t cause diarrhea.”

Rookie said.

They come to this store often, and at the critical moment of this kind of competition, they won't come to explore the store to test the poison.

"Yuan'er, what do you want to eat today?"

He asked with his arms around Yuan Shen's neck.

"beef noodles?"

"Damn, you've started again, haven't you?"

Jack and Xiao Ming, who were familiar with the four major poisons of the LPL, looked at Yuan Shen in surprise.

"I wanted to say that last time Xia Jue ate Haidilao, but he ate it with EDG, so it doesn't matter." Xiao Ming said with a smile on his face.

A bowl of beef noodles can destroy the world's number one ADC Nami, and everyone on IG naturally knows it.

At this moment, Fumanduo suddenly picked up the phone, said "Huh" in surprise, and then started to reply to the message.

"What's wrong?"

Yuan Shen asked.

"It's Coach Kkoma, asking me what delicious food there is in Modu."

Yuan Shen was stunned for a moment, then as if he remembered something, he asked doubtfully: "What store did you recommend?"

"Well...it's the Haidilao restaurant we ate at last time. I feel pretty good."

Haidilao...

Yuan Shen was a little embarrassed.

The inertia of history is really great.

What was supposed to come, came anyway.

At MSI in 2016, there were many jokes.

Among them is Haidilao, the first of the four major poisons in the e-sports circle.

Half an hour later, Yuan Shen watched with interest as the SKT official blog posted a video of the entire SKT team eating Haidilao.

The leader of Guapi held out his thumb with a smile on his face, affirmed, and said a lot of words in Korean.

Rookie was translating next to him, which probably meant "Haidilao is very good, the waiters are very considerate, and the atmosphere inside is like returning home. Thank you very much for the recommendation of the IG team. I heard that they played Xia Jue after eating Haidilao last time. It’s great, it’s really delicious. I’ll come back next time.”

"It's broken...we were eating Haidilao, and we took EDG with us!"

Fu Manduo put his hand on his forehead and couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't even know how to explain this kind of thing to Kkoma.

It can only be said that the local Haidilao only helps local teams.
