Chapter 405 [Going forward to Busan! 】(1/2)
In the ym base, everyone who watched the lottery ceremony had mixed emotions.
The one who was hit the hardest was pdd. Before the draw, he even went to Jing'an Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, just hoping to draw a good draw for ym in the group stage.
It would be better now to start the death group directly. Isn’t this a reverse burning of incense?
LCK's second seed and North America's first seed, these three teams are all T1-level teams in the entire world championship.
And the most exaggerated thing is that because Group D does not yet have a team from the European division, it cannot trigger the avoidance principle of the same division.
And if ig breaks through, it will not be assigned to group d.
If g2 breaks out of the siege, then there is a high probability that he will be assigned to group d!
Isn’t this just MSI’s big four brawl?
After the news spread to the Internet, water enthusiasts from all walks of life have started discussing it heatedly.
[Good draw! Why is it said to be a good draw? Because the No. 1 seed in the LPL should go to the most difficult group. If you qualify, it will be fine. If you are eliminated, you can also play out the strong team's routines in advance and clear the way for the knockout rounds behind the brother team.
clear obstacles]
[Ym was drawn into the death group in the first year of the World Championship, which is really a bit of bad luck. Didn’t it appear on the Internet that the naughty pig went to Jing’an Temple? Burning incense and worshiping Buddha in reverse? 】
[Trivia: There has never been a top 16 world champion team in the S competition, which means that Samsung will basically lock in a spot. If g2 is assigned to group d by then, the most likely to overturn among the three teams is ym
】
[This lottery made me laugh, God bless me! Brothers, I will take the first step! See you in the knockout round!]
[Now let’s pray that ig can be assigned to group C. Group B fnc and the African team both have the top spot. At least two teams can qualify]
[Certain groups should stop being so quick. Last year they were able to win the semi-finals, but this year they won’t be directly ranked in the top eight or sixteen.]
[Fuck you, will rng be in the top eight or sixteen?]
…
"Be patient, Mr. Whore, who can predict things like drawing lots." Xiaotian comforted pdd.
He has a good mentality and is not very concerned about being drawn into the death group.
"Actually, it's better to be a little tighter in the group stage. This way we can get out of shape in advance, and the strong teams have already played half of the competition. Whether it is a foreign war or a civil war in the subsequent knockout rounds, we will have an advantage." Su Chen also said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm too nervous. What you said makes sense." pdd shook his head.
His current mentality is indeed too sensitive. It is his first time to be the boss of a world championship team and he was once a professional player. It is inevitable that he will take s8 more seriously.
After Mengma discussed it with the coaching staff, he also called the entire ym team for a small meeting.
After the draw of the global finals, ym will go to Busan for training on September 28.
Although the finals are held in Seoul, only ig needs to participate.
The first and second seeds of the LPL can just wait in Busan to play in the group stage.
This time it is completely different from the msi environment.
On the one hand, players can play relatively high-level cold clothes locally to get a feel for their game.
On the other hand, with rng around, internal training matches are easier to schedule.
The environment is much better than that in Europe.
"We have two days off today and tomorrow. Starting the day after tomorrow, we will conduct targeted training for the World Championship version. Everyone should adjust well. If you have any personal matters that you should be busy with, you can deal with them in the past two days." After asking for pdd's opinion, Meng Ma said
Arrangements were made.
Anyway, there is still half a month until the official start of the group stage, and the version of the World Championship has not been updated yet, so it is normal to take a holiday.
Nowadays, the development of LPL is becoming more and more standardized, and Uzi's hand injury problem in the spring game has also caused the league to pay attention to player load management.
This is the first time that ym will play in the LPL this year. The schedule is much longer than that of other clubs. In addition to MSI, they also have to play in the Asian Games, and now they have to embark on the journey of the World Championship.
Meng Ma was also worried about something going wrong with Xiaotian and Su Chen, so he emphasized it.
"Give yourself a holiday and relax these two days," Meng Ma pulled Su Chen aside, "If you don't set an example, then others will be embarrassed to rest. Brothers are too tense during this period.
Already."
Su Chen smiled: "I know, I don't plan to train today. I plan to go out in the afternoon."
"Yes, go out and relax, don't make it like we are at war every day." Meng Ma was relieved.
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Chen changed into casual clothes and walked down from the room on the second floor. He happened to bump into Xiaotian who was going to the kitchen to make noodles.
"Brother Chen, are you going out?" Garlic Bastard asked curiously, holding a fork in his mouth.
"Yes, let's go out and do some errands." Su Chen didn't say much.
"Oh~ I know." Xiaotian understood immediately and showed an ambiguous evil smile.
"Brother Chen, are you going out?" Zhang Xiaowen happened to pass by the living room and saw Su Chen getting ready to go out, so he came over.
Su Chen was a little speechless: "Go out and do some errands."
"Take me with you! I'm bored in the afternoon and don't know what to do. If you want to go shopping, I can help you get it." Zhang Xiaowen said happily.
"Do you like being a light bulb?" Xiaotian glanced at him.
"What's that for?" Zhang Xiaowen looked confused.
Too lazy to pay any attention to the pair, Su Chen quickly walked out of the gate of the base and got into a taxi called by a taxi app.
The scenery outside the car window flew by, and finally stopped in front of an antique street.
Su Chen jumped out of the car and looked up to see the "Old Town God's Temple Snack Plaza" sign hanging on a store not far away.
This is a relatively famous attraction in Shanghai, adjacent to Yu Garden. Because it is in the old city, it retains some of the architectural styles from the early last century.
Su Chen took out his mobile phone, checked WeChat, and then followed the crowd. Soon he saw the person he was looking for under an old tree next to the square.
After not seeing each other for a year, Lin Chu still looked the same as when he was at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
She is still dressed in a simple forest style, with a white bohemian style sweater on her upper body and a round neckline revealing her fair neck.
The lower body is made of narrow light blue jeans and deerskin boots, which set off the long legs beautifully.
Such a girl standing on the street is a sight in itself, attracting the attention of many pedestrians.
If it weren't for her iceberg-like aloof temperament, there would have been many people who would have taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.
"Hi, beauty."
A voice sounded in Lin Chu's ears.
She turned her face, and when she saw the person coming, her original aloof temperament immediately dissipated.
"Hi, handsome guy!" Lin Chu said with a bright smile.
"It seems like we haven't seen each other for a year," Su Chen said with a smile.
"Yeah, it feels like time flies too fast," Lin Chu said with a look of reminiscence, "It seems like I was at Jiangsu University yesterday... I mean our school."
She added seriously.
"Let's talk as we walk," Su Chen glanced at the crowd watching them, "It's my first time here and I'm not familiar with it. You can order whatever you want and I'll pay the bill."
"Wow, there are rich people!" Lin Chu smiled slyly, "Then I'm welcome!"
But despite what she said, the Chenghuang Temple Snack Street is not the kind of place that focuses on high-end products. Although the prices are a bit exaggerated and may be suspected of robbing tourists, Lin Chu also deliberately avoided some more expensive items.
The two of them were walking through the streets and saw a store without queuing, so they went to take a look.
Su Chen looked at Lin Chu who was asking the snack bar owner enthusiastically, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
The Lin Chu in his memory was the goddess teacher who was buried in front of the documents in the office all day long, busy with various trivial matters in the school.
Because of her temperament, most students are actually a little afraid of her.
Su Chen got closer to Lin Chu because of her part-time job during the summer vacation, and he also knew that she was actually quite simple at heart.
It even feels a bit natural, which is quite different from the appearance.
But at that time, Su Chen never imagined that one day two people would queue up for 10 minutes on the streets of Shanghai for a snack.
Lin Chu's eyes lit up as he carefully stuffed the plum blossom cake into his mouth.
Su Chen suddenly had the idea of taking a picture of this scene, but he still resisted. This kind of behavior was immediately identified as an idiot.
"Hey, try this, it's super delicious!" Lin Chu pointed to the plate in her hand with a surprised expression. It was obviously her first time eating this.
"I'll forget it, it's only two yuan in total..." Su Chen said casually.
"Don't be afraid, I'll treat you if you don't have any money," she pointed to the small satchel she was carrying, "I've paid my salary."
Su Chen couldn't resist her, so he could only pick up the remaining piece of pastry with a toothpick and put it into his mouth. Well, it was indeed very sweet.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Chu asked hurriedly.
Su Chen smiled and nodded. She immediately showed her thumbs up and said proudly.
"I checked the strategy before coming here!"
