Chapter 188 Fist, you can’t control your skin, let your Uncle Teng help you control it! There were also no fluctuations in the second and third games. EDG quickly passed the Snake Team in three games.
After all, the Snakes had a classic mid-game drive.
After the game, although KKoma didn’t know the Snakes very well, he had a profound impact on them.
"The first 20 minutes are top-notch, and then they are like an Internet cafe team."
This is his critical assessment.
Don't say it, really don't say it! Xu Yuan clearly remembered that the Snake Team really lost to the Internet Cafe Team.
And it’s still the main lineup!
The main lineup of an LPL team lost to the Internet cafe team.
This is very exaggerated.
Zuo Wu, the manager of the Snakes at the time, was speechless.
I gave it directly to the coach at the time at KTV, and then I found a printing shop to take a screenshot of the words of netizen Snakes at that time, printed them, and hung them in the training room of Snakes.
It was even laid out under the keyboard to ensure that the contestants could see the netizens’ wild comments about them no matter whether they looked up or down.
It is said that the coach who was KTVed is Zhu Kai.
Xu Yuan is not sure, but at least he should be suspicious.
How else to talk about the Snake Team?Not only is his name Snake, but he also likes to play with snakes.
"Can't beat him! God K is now older, and it's unfair for a young champion to beat a coward."
Brother Crystal, who was blasted three times in the bottom lane, returned to the lounge with his hands spread out.
He really had no idea.
I played very hard and was in good shape.
So Zuo Wu didn't blame him and just patted him on the shoulder.
"Can you hold on?"
Brother Crystal knew what he was asking and nodded without hesitation.
"How serious is it? Just hold on."
"Are you really not going to train for a season? You will definitely still have to work after you finish training. The Snakes are not so impersonal. We believe you have this potential."
Zuo Wu asked patiently.
"No, if I take a rest for a season, I might not be able to keep up with their top AD."
Brother Crystal was silent for a moment and then said.
"Do you think I want to be beaten like this? I'm so reluctant now."
"One season... is too long."
Because of the previous BO10 tragedy, Brother Crystal's hand condition is very bad now.
There are two paths.
One is to recuperate and rest for a season to recuperate.
Another one is bloodletting.
This can indeed alleviate a large part of the situation, but it is very painful for the players.
Every time Brother Crystal was bleeding, he screamed like a pig was being slaughtered, and his hands were covered with blood.
A person with his personality wouldn't act in such an exaggerated manner unless he really couldn't bear the pain.
But...Brother Crystal still chose bloodletting.
This is probably the case for all players in this era.
Because I have witnessed with my own eyes how bad the situation of e-sports was in the early days, I cherish the opportunity to play professionally now.
Zuo Wu opened a pack of cigarettes and lit it.
There are quite a few non-smokers in the Snake Team.
And even if you don’t smoke, you are already used to secondhand smoke.
Along with the misty rising smoke, Zuo Wu's face was somewhat unclear.
"Will it be scrapped? Will you give up for this year?"
he asked calmly.
"I have no choice, my condition will only get worse."
Brother Crystal bared his teeth and shook his hand, stood up and smiled.
"If I don't try my best when I still have a chance, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"I want to go to the World Championships, isn't that too much?"
Brother Shengqiang had been listening quietly and smiled when he heard the words.
He will not interfere with his teammates' choices, he will only support them.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
"Just win one or two of these teams such as IG, WE, and RNG."
The Snakes team had just lost the German Cup, but their fighting spirit became even higher.
The time left for Brother Crystal is really running out.
EDG lounge.
Xu Yuan asked without looking back while putting away his peripherals carefully and gently.
"Are you going there tomorrow? Have you bought your tickets for Brother Bu?"
"Well, we will gather on the first floor tomorrow afternoon. Don't ask me to shout again then."
Abu thought for a while, nodded, and replied angrily.
"Slandering me, right? Isn't it Brother Kai who stays in bed every time? He is sleeping every time I pass by his door."
Xu Yuan felt a little unfair.
"Don't be embarrassed. Your brother Kai is now an assistant coach. What's wrong with taking a nap?"
Mingkai rolled his eyes and smiled evilly.
"What about last year?"
"You trained so hard last year, is it normal to not be able to get up?"
Mingkai spread his hands.
Xu Yuan sneered, "If you can't get up, you just can't get up. Why are you bragging?"
"Fifty RANK in one night, you really worked hard, bro!"
Mingkai was a little embarrassed.
In a previous interview, in order to highlight his efforts, it was stated that he played at least fifty Ranks a day.
At least.
"You are such a tough guy!"
Xu Yuan didn't mind, smiled casually, and followed the team back to the bus.
Today's daily task, disgusting Mingkai, has been completed.
He likes Ming Kai very much.
But as a senior fan, he is generally well aware of Ming Kai's black spots.
After all, you have to go out to line up.
When the time comes, you don't know these things, and you can't even retaliate when others call you a "scatterer", which makes you feel very uncomfortable.
Got on the bus and went straight to Tieba.
"How would you rate your performance today?"
"Just a reminder, I'm the bartender now, so all the old men should pay attention to what they say."
He used the same Tieba account he used before.
That's right, he messed up! The rewards after winning the championship came a little late, but they finally arrived.
Xu Yuan thought it was probably because the system was made by NetEase, so it had many bugs.
Tengzi's server does not have this problem, let's talk about it.
After winning his first championship, he also gained two new traits.
[Nothing, I just caught a Kun]: Your skills in seducing the jungle are too good. When you go out to catch big fish, your ability to pull the line will increase.
[I recommend Yuanzi]: Whenever you interact with fans or negative fans, your affinity increases.
[Special Tip: Your price will rise faster when you interact with black fans. 】
Xu Yuan also made plans for improvement.
The first one is very simple, just go fishing once a week.
The second one is even simpler.
Isn't it just interaction?
Which other platform users talk more nonsense than the maggot babies of Kangba?
This group of hangers-on can discuss for days even a question like "should I use an umbrella or wear a raincoat on a rainy day?"
It takes more time to highlight one piece of bullshit.
At first glance, Xu Yuan marked him as a pure leek.
So now after finishing the fight, he goes straight to the forum, definitely not because he is an abstract person.
Absolutely not!
Faced with Yuan Shen who hasn’t posted for a long time, Kangba’s Maggot Baby was quite disappointed.
Another person who secretly plays with a trumpet after having his vest stripped off, or simply stops watching? There are quite a few players who are resisting.
The early Tieba was like this. It would not be an exaggeration to go to Wang Zuxian's bar and meet Wang Zuxian.
A lot of professional players play it. For example, Sima Laothi is the barista of the black WE bar.
But when he went to WE in S13, it was difficult to relax.
So they originally thought Xu Yuan was going to change his number.
The result... no! Xu Yuan posted again!
It's just that this time he restrained himself a little and didn't continue to flirt with Uzi fans.
"you are?"
"It's just average. You probably won't be able to pass our RNG trial training."
Xu Yuan saw this comment and immediately replied with a question mark.
The maggot babies were also made to laugh.
"Have you seen your little boy Tu Qiong Dagger?"
"The abacus is very loud. Don't do it next time."
"What a rubbish provoking method!"
"It's still exposed that you are a hz!"
In addition to the more polite ones, there are also more abstract ones.
"Give 10, don't give 0 [smile with big nostrils]"
Bullfrog and Frog: "I'll give you points every day. If I were the boss, I'd ban all of you little ones who are giving points!"
Xu Yuan was quite impressed with him, he was such a bastard.
That's okay. The pig is one of our own and can be sealed.
I backhandedly banned him for a day and replied to him.
Xu Yuan: Can you still speak? ^^ Everyone was amused.
"I am super, right!"
"The Abyss God sealed my [drooling]"
"What a disgusting permission dog!"
Xu Yuan happily interacted with them for a while, and then asked a question.
"What do you guys think is the best choice for the champion skin? We're going to Riot headquarters right away."
This completely aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
"Does that need to be said? Ice!"
"It's really no problem. Han Bing is the hero Yuan Shen used in the first game, right? It's still very memorable."
"What's the point of ice? The T3 skin doesn't change its movements. It still looks like a zombie."
Xu Yuan's eyes lit up, he's an expert.
There's one thing to say, it's really no problem.
Champion skins are all T3, and T3 does not change character movements.
Han Bing already has a source plan.
Against the background of T2, the Source Project, all the current T3 ice skins are not good.
It was only after the Angel of the West came out that the situation where the Yuan Plan family was the dominant one changed.
"What about Vayne?"
"It's really good. Vayne seems to have used it in the group stage and the semi-finals."
"No, do you really want Godzilla to die?"
"Indeed, Godzilla can't defeat Yuanza, and now Yuanza will dominate the world!"
"Haren, luckily I am Yuanza."
"Fortunately, so am I."
They discussed again, and Xu Yuan smacked his lips.
If it doesn't work, he doesn't like Vayne.
If there weren't really any games left to play, he wouldn't have played Vayne.
It can only be said that Vayne belongs to work and Xia belongs to life.
After all, who doesn’t like wives? Xu Yuan also likes it.
Of course, it is impossible for him to be a yellow man.
He closed the Tieba forum to recharge his batteries.
I'm already thinking about who to choose tomorrow.
The next day, EDG players boarded the plane with specially arranged tickets from Riot Games.
"It's really picky."
This was Xu Yuan's first thought.
I thought it was first class.
Turns out it’s just business class…
It can only be said that Riot's structure is a bit small, and such a large company is in trouble.
However, Meiko, who was traveling with him, was a little distracted and just looked at the scenery outside the plane window in confusion.
Xu Yuan noticed this and said.
"what happened?"
"...I should see Scout today, right? I feel a little complicated."
Meiko sighed.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect him to leave. We were like that in S6 and he didn't even let Abramovich trade him."
"Why are you leaving now that you have achieved results?"
He was a little puzzled.
You have to say that Scout wanted to leave before, so why didn’t S6 leave? “We can’t keep those who should leave, and we can’t drive away those who don’t want to leave.”
Xu Yuan replied calmly.
"speak English."
Meiko chuckled.
"You're not him. You can't figure it out even if you try hard."
"……Right."
Meiko was stunned for a moment and had to admit that he was right.
"Dian."
Lee Sang Hyuk, who had been listening quietly, turned around and spoke with a smile.
Xu Yuan: ...
Damn it, why are you so abstract, Lee Sang Hyuk!
And isn’t this the time for our EDG to choose skins?What are you doing here?
Only then did he see Lee Sang Hyuk coming.
"Brother Bu, why is Faker here too?"
Isn't Xiaobu a bit mentally disturbed? He just likes to see Faker see us choose this year's skin and put on the Pain Mask, right?
"There's no one in the base. It's not good to leave him in the club. I'll come over to play with him and relax."
Abu, who was wearing sunglasses, turned around and explained with a smile.
"Oh, I got it."
"Yuanzi, don't act like I'm traveling on public funds. The mental health of the players is also very important."
Abu said seriously.
"I believe it."
Xu Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, closed his eyes and waited for the plane to than ten hours later, when the EDG players stepped off the plane, Riot staff were already standing there with smiles to greet them.
Under their guidance, EDG first had a brief visit to Riot Games, and then had a meal in their work canteen.
By the afternoon, several chief designers had arrived.
Discussions on champion skins have also officially begun.
"You can communicate with yourself first, and then make a preliminary decision on the hero you want to use, and then tell us."
A bald designer said with a smile.
"Clockwork."
"I want to choose clockwork."
Scout, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, didn't seem particularly strange when they met again.
Still smiling and greeting his former teammates.
The EDG players didn't target him and responded with a smile.
Only Xu Yuan nodded calmly.
Scout didn't mind, but felt a little guilty.
"Maybe my leaving hurt him?"
That's what he thought.
Saying he was leaving the day after winning the championship was indeed a bit too much.
From Xu Yuan's perspective, he would feel like a traitor.
He went to SKT as he wished and became the famous SKT starting mid laner.
However, all this was not as beautiful as he thought.
He always misses every bit of his time in EDG from time to time, especially his cooperation with Xu Yuan.
He and Xu Yuan are the world's number one double Cs, or so he thinks.
Especially now that SKT's bot lane team is leaving, the S8 bot lane team doesn't seem to be very competitive.
This made him miss Xu Yuan even more.
Presumably... Xu Yuan is so angry because he cares too much about me, right?
Also, besides me, who can become the strongest double C in the world with him? Thinking of this, Scout, who was treated coldly by Xu Yuan, was not only not angry, but also smiled.
However, what Xu Yuan was thinking at this time was...
"Fist's food is really good!"
He is still savoring the taste of that steak.
Do their staff eat so well? And many people seem to start working only in the afternoon.
If there is too much, we won’t talk anymore. If we talk again, we will explode.
As for Xu Yuan, does Xu Yuan think anything has changed since Scout left? That's still there.
It’s more fun to play!
Lee Sang Hyuk has now begun to play as a team, with full roaming attributes.
For a laning tough guy like Xu Yuan, what he likes most is a bottom lane team that can support him.
For example.
Two waves of lanes enter the tower, and you may be caught in the bottom lane.
It is almost impossible for Scout to T unless Xu Yuan forces it.
However, Li Sang Hyuk didn't need Xu Yuan to mention it at all, he came by himself.
"As for me, I would probably choose a big tree."
A Guang, the team's substitute, touched his head and showed a simple and bright smile.
He still participated in the group stage, and not participating does not mean that he did not participate.
"I really like the feeling of playing with big trees. It makes my teammates feel at ease."
He spoke shyly.
"Kainan, don't think too much."
Smeb, the cool guy with a plain face, pushed up his glasses and spoke seriously.
"This hero means something extraordinary to me."
For Smeb, Kenan's thunderous entry was also the moment that completely made him famous in the world.
Apart from winning the championship, this is the most profound memory.
And EDG's championship this year is inseparable from his Kennen.
His Kennen is specifically used to fight Gnar this year, and only plays single belt.
"As for me, she is probably the only one."
Ming Kai almost didn't think and spoke with a smile.
"I must choose the widow."
If you had to choose an iconic hero for Ming Kai, many young people might want to choose Pig Girl.
But his love for the widow cannot be concealed. Mingkai's favorite hero is undoubtedly the widow.
This kind of jungler who uses poor vision to perform ganks is naturally suitable for his style.
You know, Mingkai was also famous for his terrifying card vision when he was at his peak.
When other junglers were still very rough, he was able to stand a little outside the limit of his field of vision.
very horrible.
So now that he finally had a chance, there was no way he could give this skin to Pig Girl.
Although Zhumei is indeed the biggest contributor to helping him win the championship in S7.
But sorry, he will still choose the widow.
"Luo, I want to choose Luo. If not, I'll choose Lulu."
Meiko spoke next, with anticipation on her face.
"My Rakan is still playing very confidently, but because AD's Xayah is so powerful, our Xayah Rao doesn't come out very often."
He has some regrets.
AD's Xayah really puts too much pressure on people, causing the opponent to almost move Xayah's hand.
Xia Luo never came out at all.
This is still a bit of a pity for him.
"Xia."
Xu Yuan spoke briefly.
There is no reason, he just likes Xia.
Kasumi is the hero who can really turn the tide of the war, at least now.
From another more realistic perspective, Kasumi's popularity has never been low.
No matter in the game or in the ranking, there are many AD players playing Xayah.
As long as the quality of the skin is not too slim, Xu Yuan thinks that Xia's skin should be able to sell well.
Because this is the first championship of LPL.
"Then... Xia Luo?"
Meiko is very happy.
"Well, just Xia Luo, but don't misunderstand Tianye, I'm not a gay."
Xu Yuan nodded and then reminded.
Meiko's face turned green, "Me neither!"
After several people discussed the skin selection, they informed the designer.
One of the bearded designers smacked his lips with regret.
"Savior, to be honest, I thought you wanted to choose Vayne. I have a great idea here. I guarantee that she will become the hottest champion skin in history."
"Shut up, York. I'm thinking about your black stockings all day long."
The bald designer raised his middle finger mercilessly at the bearded designer and pulled him behind him with a smile on his face.
"What style of skin do you want?"
Several people looked at each other, and finally all focused on Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan: ...
He recalled EDG's championship skin and spoke tentatively.
"Blue background, leaning toward ancient Chinese style skin?"
In fact, there is nothing to say about this.
S7 is different from S8. The S7 finals are in the Bird's Nest.
This is the first time the LPL has held a global finals, and its significance is completely extraordinary.
Now designers are willing to ask for their opinion on style.
Then Xu Yuan definitely wants to add some unique elements to the skin that belong to us at CN.
"CN style?"
The bald designer’s eyes lit up. "No problem. There have been no championship series skins in this area before. This is a new direction."
Champion skins before S6 had almost no special effects, or even no special effects at all.
This situation has been improved on the SKT champion skin in S6, and special effects have been added.
And this year, it was LPL that won the championship again.
For this championship series skin, Riot Games can be said to attach great importance to it.
In fact, you have to pay attention to it, because this set of skin itself is extraordinary.
Quiz: Who is the boss of Riot Games?
A. Tryndamere B. Obtuse angle C. Tengzi Tengzi had already changed from a simple capital injection into Riot to a full acquisition a long time ago.
Even 100% holding!
Although Tengzi did sign a "non-interference in Riot Games' operations" clause in the contract.
But when it comes to skin...
Tengzi: Quanzi, you can’t grasp it, let your uncle Teng help you grasp it.
Some things don't need to be said clearly.
Tengzi only needs to negotiate with Riot's management, and Riot will immediately say, "Brother, I understand what you mean."
After all, Tengzi’s cash flow is in Tengzi’s hands now, how dare you disobey me? Do you really think Tengzi is doing charity?
Antarctic bullies are not easy to mess with.
So this set of skins was ordered by the top management, and all the chief designers of the skin department were here.
If you want to sell well in the LPL, Chinese-style skins are obviously more likely to stand out.
After determining the style of the skin, the next step is naturally the player’s exclusive actions.
"I want an elegant kneeling salute. I think this is very elegant and handsome."
This is Meiko's request.
"Can you make me an action similar to the one Minato Namikaze made in the Fourth Battle?"
This is Aguang's abstract request.
Xu Yuan thought it was a bit funny just thinking about the posture of the fourth generation of the big tree.
No, I can't help it! "puff."
"Ah, is this funny? How about another one?"
Aguang touched his head.
"I'm not laughing at you, I'm thinking of something happy."
Xu Yuan spoke seriously.
"puff."
Meiko couldn't hold it any longer.
Aguang was numb, "Then change it?"
"No, no, no! No! No!"
Xu Yuan hurriedly said,
"When I think about having a big tree like you in the front row to protect me, I laugh happily."
"Yes, yes! Me too! I feel particularly safe!"
Meiko hurriedly followed.
A Guang was a little suspicious, "Is my big tree really that strong?"
"Really, choose!"
Xu Yuan confirmed again.
"Okay, that's it."
Aguang was a little happy and smiled innocently.
Like a child.
"I wanted the posture of the clockwork to be like the original painting, showing that sense of power."
Scout thought about it and felt that the original painting of the fist was very good.
So I don’t plan to make any changes to the action.
"The eyes are sharper, like a killer in the shadows."
This is Smeb's request.
I don’t know how this cute creature like Kennan could be connected with the killer, but Smeb doesn’t care about that.
Just make the request and leave the rest to the designer.
He now belongs to Party A.
Do you understand the value of Party A?
It was Mingkai's turn, and he smiled evilly.
"I don't have any other requirements. Just make it sexy."
Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the eyes of others were also a little strange.
Mingkai immediately became alert, "No, don't think blindly."
"The Widow is originally a very sexy hero. I think the charm of the Widow as a hero can only be reflected by being a bit sexier."
Xu Yuan touched his chin and reluctantly agreed with this statement.
Indeed, if a widow is not sexy, is she still a widow? Do you want to be as light as you, with some heavy and dark secrets? "Then it should be my turn next, right?"
Xu Yuan fell into deep thought.
After a while, he showed a confident smile.
“I hope to be a skin that opens its arms to hug teammates.”
"Because without my teammates, I wouldn't be able to win this championship, let alone the FMVP."
"I am very grateful to my brothers for their efforts in the World Championships."
Without Smeb's single belt, EDG would never have been able to pass SSG so easily.
Without Ming Kai's explosive seed, Leader An would never have been beaten while shopping.
Without Scout giving up his pride and choosing to believe in Xu Yuan, it would be difficult for Xu Yuan to have comfortable support in team battles.
Without Aguang to survive this year's MSI, he might not be able to win this year's Grand Slam.
Without Meiko's desperate and serious protection, his output environment would not be so good.
Xu Yuan thanked his teammates from the bottom of his heart.
I like a saying very much: The five most correct people.
and many more……
Xu Yuan suddenly thought that the last time he heard this in his previous life was when Ah Shui said that the five TES players in the S12 season were the five most correct ones.
Then these five people broke up the next year.
This……
Back to the present.
Scout did leave, and Mingkai did half retreat.
Will the team have to be rebuilt next year as long as some people think they are the five most correct people?
It's a bit of a joke from hell.
The bald designer listened very carefully to what the translator said, and from time to time would take out a small notebook to write it down. His attitude was very good.
After constant inquiries and mutual discussions, the general details of the S7 championship skin belonging to EDG were finally determined at around [-]pm.
After bidding farewell to the designer and returning to the hotel arranged by Riot Games, EDG rested for a night before flying back to China the next day.
As soon as he left the airport, Xu Yuan couldn't help but sneeze.
He took out his cell phone and checked the temperature. He immediately took Abu's coat and walked quickly towards the bus back to the base. He was relieved when he got on the bus.
Outside the window, fine snowflakes have begun to fall.
"It's the Chinese New Year..."
Xu Yuan smiled and sighed softly.
