"The local team is rising!"

"Come on IM! Come on IM! Come on IM!"

"Smile!"

"Curly!!"

"Ahhhh! The leader will win! IM will win!"

The lights in the competition venue were all shining on the ink-black stage. Several huge electronic screens showed Liu Yi and others walking towards the stage. Under the lights, Liu Yi and others walked onto the stage with smiles.

The new uniforms are somewhat different from those of other teams in the domestic competition area. The reason is that the uniforms of domestic teams are generally black, and the various endorsements received by the club make the uniforms look a bit fancy, while the uniforms worn by Liu Yi and others do not have any useless things, and they look simple and generous, which is intimidating.

"Ahhhh!"

When the director gave Liu Yi and Curly Smiling, the shouts in the audience became more and more intense, allowing pedestrians outside the Performing Arts Center to hear the huge sounds coming from inside, and they all looked at the venue in surprise!

......

After a brief introduction by the host, Liu Yi and the others walked off the field.

In the commentary rooms located directly in front of the competition venue, several professional commentators were much calmer than the audience on site. However, the audience watching the live broadcast could still hear the tone of the commentary trembling, and the excitement was very obvious.

It's not difficult to understand.

Liu Yi, who has long been called a domestic jungler by professionals in China, can appear in professional competitions, which naturally caused many people who are paying attention to it to their hearts. In addition, the smile, curly hair and the return of the elder brother also brought them great shock.

"Cosmic-class battleship."

"The strong team in the lpl region is most likely to win the championship except Edg!"

In private, many post bars and Weibo big Vs have labeled this label for the IM team, especially the connections accumulated by Big Brother and Smile Curly, which makes both domestic players, commentators and viewers full of hope for this team.

“…”

Liu Yi and the others were the last team to appear, so after walking off the venue, they went directly to the place prepared by the competition.

The method adopted in this summer is roughly the same as the spring season. Both use the group cycle mode. According to the points ranking in the lpl spring season, it is divided into four seed pools, and the twelve teams are divided into two groups A and B.

Specifically, each group consists of a No. 1 seed pool team, two No. 2 seed pool teams, two No. 3 seed pool teams and a No. 4 seed pool team. Teams in the same group will compete in the BO3 double cycle, and teams between different groups will engage in a BO3 single-cycle confrontation. Under such a group match system, the regular season of the summer season consists of 96 BO3 games.

This year's LPL still has three places to participate in the World Finals.

The championship of the summer season will directly qualify for the global finals and become the No. 1 seed of the LPL. After the summer season is over, each team will obtain the corresponding global finals points for the whole year based on the final ranking. The first place in points will directly enter the global finals and become the No. 2 seed of the LPL.

The team with 2-5 final points will enter the qualifying round, and the qualifying round champion will represent the LPL region to enter the global finals and become the third seed of LPL.

I have to say.

In this mode of competition, every team can see the hope of advancing to the finals. As the most authoritative official event of Riot, all the teams qualified to participate in the competition are the strongest teams in the competition area. So many top teams gathered in the finals and can be called the strongest duel of the year.

......

The first day of the regular season.

Liu Yi and his team were divided into Group B through a draw, and the opponent they fought was OMG, an old-fashioned team in the LPL region. When he knew that the opponent was OMG, Liu Yi felt inexplicably in his heart, and then turned around and looked at the elder brother sitting next to him.

Although Omg has experienced various changes today, its strength has already reached a lot of gap with the past.

But it is undeniable that OMG still has considerable strength today, and its experience is much richer than the Im team in terms of competition. Although Curly and Smile are back, they have said goodbye to their profession for a long time. It is simply funny to rely on this period of time to catch up with the progress.

Thinking of this.

Liu Yi shook his head and smiled, nodded at the elder brother with a feeling of emotion, and then withdrew his gaze.

This time I didn't choose to let my elder brother play. Now it seems that this decision is really too correct. Imagine if my elder brother faced the first battle he once regarded as his family, his inner complexity can be imagined.

When he reached the players' seat, Liu Yi stopped talking.

Their battle with omg will be tomorrow, so today's opening game is not their turn to play.

The two teams that started the first match of the LPL summer season are Edg and Newbee. The match between these two teams will start around 5 pm this afternoon. It can be said that the smoke of war ignited in the first stop of the summer season.

Needless to say, edg's strength has rarely lost since its founding.

In addition to the unsatisfactory performance of EDG in international competitions, EDG can be said to be an invincible existence in the LPL region. Various champions and countless honorary titles are the same as its players, and the EDG is incredible.

The strength of the newbee team should not be underestimated.

The jungler Swift once performed very well in the OGN League. He used the blind monk to make a three-way round kick to save the team when he was broken in three ways. He was rated as the top five blind monks of that season by Korean media. He was a famous jungler both in South Korea and China.

As for the mid laner, Dade, who is a god-level mid laner, even though he fell into a trough, his strength is still very considerable. He has both online playing styles and offense and defense, and his sense of wandering on the field is quite in place. What’s more important is that he has a deep hero pool and a very difficult character.

In addition, with the stable performance of the top and bottom lanes players, coupled with the strong mid-basket linkage of the NB team, even if they are really compared with EG in today's game, there will not be many people who think that NB will lose from the beginning.

After all, edg is not without shortcomings.

......

In the contestant's preparation room.

Abu is making the final tactical adjustment before the game. He has already made a tactical plan to deal with the NB team. If nothing unexpected happens in this game, Abu is very confident in the victory.

"Everything to be said has been finished. In the first match of the summer season, we EDG must win the first prize!"

Abu loosened his tie and said to everyone sitting in his seat.

at the same time.

In the preparation room of nb, nb's coach took out various materials such as the game videos that had been prepared before and made a final analysis of the possible tactics that edgs may be adopted. The small blackboard not far away also reads the nicknames of edg players such as pawn and clearlove, and various terms followed by them.

Even if the game time is coming, they are still analyzing the opponent's playing style and the players' personal habits. Only by understanding them thoroughly can the hope of victory be greater.

At 5 pm, the first stop of the summer season finally began.
Chapter completed!
