After winning the game, there must be a post-match interview. You can't just leave like before when you lose.
Whoever is going to be interviewed is usually assigned to a player who performs well or has more experience.
What a coincidence, Liang Yichen meets all the requirements, so he can't escape at all.
Jungler Junhao laughed twice beside him, and then he was also named, after all, he had a super god record with Viego today.
Laughing is a problem, I told you not to laugh casually.
Coming to the stage, Xiaoyu introduced the players as usual.
It's just that the family members were a little depressed today, and the smile on their faces was a little forced.
How can it not be uncomfortable? You beat her brains, and you wanted to interview Brother Yi Jin but you didn't have the chance.
The feeling of winning the game, the mental journey of Viego's flash, how to play NIP tomorrow~
Similar questions can actually be guessed before going on stage, and how to answer them has long been thought about, so it's not difficult for the two UPs.
It was just a little different at the end, with an extra fan letter segment.
"If you have to choose three heroes to live on an uninhabited island for five days, which heroes would Qingyue choose?"
Ah, can this be asked during a live broadcast?
And what's with your serious expression, Xiaoyu?
Who came up with this fan letter to come on stage to stir up trouble?
Or is it that Liang Yichen's thinking is too divergent? He secretly glanced at Junhao and found that the young man was trying not to laugh. It seems that he and he thought the same thing.
For this question, Liang Yichen's face was full of seriousness.
"The uninhabited island will face many crises, and there may be life-and-death challenges, so you have to consider the choice comprehensively~"
Junhao was very impressed. Qingyue spoke fluently and made sense. If it wasn't for the slip of the tongue that changed Sona's skill from increasing movement speed to increasing attack speed, he would have almost believed it.
But it didn't seem to be a slip of the tongue. After all, twin ponytails do have this bonus.
The schedule of the loser group of the knockout round is very tight. After playing IG today, we will play against NIP tomorrow afternoon.
Those with good relationships can borrow a base from WE, but for a team like UP, they can only find a hotel.
It is difficult to have a comfortable environment for training, and the housing prices around Qujiang E-sports Center have skyrocketed due to the competition, and there are a lot of spectators watching the game.
We can only choose some farther places, which makes it more than an hour to get back to the hotel.
Fortunately, UP has achieved real results. At least there is no problem staying in the hotel, but it is not very convenient to play ranked games to maintain the feel, and it should not be very necessary.
At present, several people in UP have found the comfort zone and correct posture to win the game.
Once the work and rest is formed, it is difficult to change. Several people can't sleep at all after midnight, so they sort out the points that need to be improved in the three games under the arrangement of the coach.
There is not much to say about the big victory, mainly in the team's discipline and small details such as eye position.
After a brief one-hour talk, the coach took out a bunch of information, all related to NIP, and sharpened his weapons before the battle.
In addition to the work and rest schedule, the UP team was also excited about defeating IG, so they were not very sleepy. Everyone was very energetic and studied how to play the second elimination match.
Anyway, it was enough to go to bed at three or four o'clock. After waking up at noon, they could rush to the stadium to prepare after eating.
The night was long, and it was not only UP who couldn't sleep.
For professional players only, there were others who tossed and turned in different places, especially the teenager Abin who was unwilling to accept the loss of the game. 1
It was not easy to enter the elimination match, but they were defeated by TES in the first game and went home, ending the idea of 1-5. The whole BLG team was not very happy.
Especially when they were 10,000 economic leaders and were overturned, this would make anyone's mentality explode. The key is that BLG is the most expensive in the league. In the first stage, they were first killed by TT who "had never studied it", and then they were defeated 3:1 in the elimination match. It was unacceptable.
Originally thought that TT would fall in the winner group, BLG, who had studied it well, could avenge the previous shame, but unexpectedly was blocked by TES again.
Recalling the reporter's questions during the interview, BIN was even more confused.
"The first stage is over. In order to cope with the rest of the schedule this year, what adjustments does the team need to make now?"
"Well, there won't be any adjustments, because there will be no lane change in the next version, and then we can just play our strength normally."
"It's useless to keep studying lane change. The version will be updated in the second stage."
BIN had a blank expression when answering these words, but there was still a deep hatred for the lane change version in his eyes. Damn Zhuo, is he the first to lead the abnormal game in LPL?
Without lane change, it would be the stage for the real men to fight in the top lane. It can only be said that Zeus and his ilk are in danger.
Go call T1, oh~ It seems that I called the wrong one.
Brother BIN will not lie to us. In the second stage, BLG will definitely rise up and remain undefeated! 1
BIN got up and continued to watch the game video, which he had repeated countless times, but the more he watched, the angrier he got.
"Take the whole game seriously, but lose the game because of a bug. Who would have thought that the ending would be like this!"
Before the sun rose in the early morning, he directly posted a video to complain. The content was naturally that BIN controlled Quesanti to rush from the second tower to the front tower of the highland to kill TES's bottom lane Varus, but encountered a bug of instant W and was killed.
At the same time, he logged into the social account outside and directly @ Riot's designer, asking him to fix the bug quickly.
After expressing his inner emotions, BIN felt much more comfortable and lay down on the bed to rest.
But in a half-awake state, he had an inexplicable dream.
In the dream, it was the scene of the 25th World Pioneer Tournament's top four to two. As the winner of the first stage, BLG did not have a smooth start from the first game. In the end, it even played five games with HLE in another form and returned home in shame.
Let LPL completely fall into the last place in the competition area.
Seeing the ridicule on the screen after the game and the insults suffered by the whole team, Chen Zebin suddenly had a headache and fainted on the ground. When he opened his eyes and woke up, he found that he had traveled back to the time when the economy was leading by 10,000 in the third round of the knockout round.
"Winning this round, we have a great advantage to win consecutive games. It's time to show our glory, aim for the Pioneer Tournament, the championship, and take back everything we lost last year!"
Listening to the celebration of his good brother who could be kicked three times by his own Bangbang, Chen Zebin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. There were many words stuck in his mouth but he didn't know how to say them, but let him know that as the world's No. 1 top laner, he must do something.
Must take responsibility, be responsible, and reverse what will happen in the future.
"I'm sorry for you who are fighting on the same stage. I don't want you to be scolded again." Chen Zebin said silently in his heart, recalling the bug of Quesanti, he rushed straight to the front teeth from the second tower of the red side.
This BUG should be put to good use~
Wow, bin fell down.
Bang, bang, bang!
A quick knock on the door sounded, BIN barely opened his eyes, his phone was already flooded with notifications.
When he opened the door, he saw ELK with an anxious face: "No, buddy, if you post like this, what should I do with my Axiom Mouse?"
BLG staff also led the team over. Things have fermented, and the original video must be deleted immediately!
When the sun rises, forget about yesterday~
"Hiss~" Rubbing his eyes, Liang Yichen didn't know why he had such a strange dream, which felt quite interesting.
The accompanying staff were already knocking on the door one by one. It was just half past twelve to go out for dinner, and then pack up and take a car to the scene.
The whole team was very excited to defeat IG. They had been tossing around for a while last night, and they were also eating melons on the front line. After packing up their luggage, the UP team rushed to the Qujiang E-sports Center again.
There are fewer people gathered at the entrance today than yesterday, after all, except for UP, the remaining three teams are all top-tier.
NIP actually doesn't have any particularly famous players, except for Doinb in the middle lane.
"Qingyue!"
"Qingyue!"
Walking on the road, Liang Yichen was a little sleepy, as it was like this when taking a car after a meal, but suddenly there was a shout outside the temporary fence.
I became energetic all of a sudden.
Liang Yichen smiled and greeted, and when he saw someone holding his support items and a marker and asking for an autograph, he walked over without any hesitation.
"Qingyue, a ten-year old fan came uninvited!"
Wow~
It's these old guys again. Liang Yichen had met them before, and they chatted and took photos together. I didn't expect to see them again today.
"Qingyue, you played so well yesterday!"
"That Gnar was amazing when playing in the side lane. When can you get a pentakill?"
"I'll try my best. This game depends on luck."
Speaking of Gnar, after the game yesterday, many midlaners suddenly chose this hero in the canyon, and then discussed with the top laner to switch lanes.
As for the result, it's hard to say. Anyway, they cursed until they were banned.
Someone posted a screenshot of the record on Liang Yichen's Weibo. 0-10, Gnar was miserable.
Previously, Comet Rock Bird was at least playable in the middle lane, and everything else was okay, but yesterday's hero was indeed difficult to replicate in the canyon.
In addition, there were many cases of flashing to the dragon pit to grab the opponent's jungle, but unfortunately, the success rate was not high. Later, they deliberately caught the jungler and waited for the opponent to flash over to get the head.
Anyway, the ranking was okay, but in normal matches, they all started to follow Qingyue's operation on the field.
While leading a new trend, it also made more people wear the mask of pain.
Not to mention ordinary players, even many professional mid-laners tried to use Gnar to deal with Galio on the side lane several times last night.
Unfortunately, they are not Qingyue and cannot achieve the top suppression.
When signing, these brothers said that they wanted to buy tickets for yesterday's game, but they couldn't buy them at all. The main reason was that the opposing team was too popular and the scalpers were offering a premium of several thousand.
Support, but scalper tickets cannot be bought. Then it is not so difficult to buy tickets for today's game. Several people are in the same dormitory. It's just right to watch the game while they have nothing to do in their senior year.
So they were impressed by the technology and became fans.
"Qingyue, please sign for me too."
Oh, there are female fans here, what an unexpected gain.
You have to be handsome and have skills on the field, have suppression power in the middle lane and a handsome appearance, how excellent!
After signing for several people quickly, Liang Yichen caught up with the main group and turned back to make a heart to these supporters.
As time goes by, there will be more and more supporters. I just hope there won't be any big rhythm.
When Liang Yichen came to the lounge, he saw that there was no other arrangement for the time being, so he went directly to the room where NIP was.
Although the league stipulates that only those who have obtained written permission from the club manager can freely enter and exit the team lounge for confidentiality reasons, it doesn't matter if you don't go in.
Stand at the door and say hello.
"Maya~" Seeing the real Doinb, he was also very enthusiastic.
Several people came to the players' public rest area to chat for a while. This is a place specially prepared by the league for players to communicate.
Relatively speaking, the two teams are relatively familiar with each other. After all, they have played many training games, but Liang Yichen has only played one game, and the rest of the time is left to Saber.
Originally in different groups, I didn't expect to meet so soon, and I had to go to the same team, and there was cooperation in competition.
Among all the players in the league, Doinb has a very high emotional intelligence, so he naturally welcomes Liang Yichen to come.
He also asked about his condition today and wanted to have a good fight in the official arena.
You can rest assured today, the package will definitely be arranged.
The first game ended quickly, TES defeated TT 3:1 cleanly. TT was lucky to get here. This team also has no star players.
The live broadcast of the event, the commentator Ji De and Miller made pre-match comments on the next team to be on stage.
"In fact, our knockout round is very cruel. Two teams have to leave every day."
"Well, the competition system is relatively short, and the results are somewhat unexpected."
"Today's stage of the knockout round is to see who has more in their pockets. TT actually exposed a lot of things in the group stage. They have already given everything in the two BO5s in the knockout round, but the reserves are indeed not that rich. They only ate one game when confronting strong teams head-on."
"Yes, if the double-sided fearless sign has taken out more key heroes in the regular season, it will be easier to be designed in the knockout round." Ji De took over the conversation and turned to talk about UP again.
"We have said before that the average age of UP is very low, but after several games, it seems that no team can pull Qingyue's starting UP to the final round, and he can even bring out unexpected heroes, which is very scary."
"Before coming here today, I saw the statistics, a very key point. After several games of UP, the proportion of neutral resources in the jungle is frighteningly high, and they can get the upper hand in every game."
"UP's starting mid lane is still Qingyue, you don't know what kind of response he will come up with, and it is not limited to the mid lane."
"Doinb's hero pool is also unique in the league, including Lee Sin, Pantheon, and Ryze, etc. This is also the difficulty of UP in BP. So today's mid lane game is still very interesting."
In the red-blue duel victory, UP team was officially favored for the first time.
Remember that UP won NIP 3:1, and the players predicted that UP would win. Although the predictions before that believed that UP could win a small game, they were not optimistic about entering the next round.
Miller chose to believe in NIP.
"I feel like I'm a bit out of place. Why do you all think highly of UP?" Miller laughed awkwardly.
"Well, the strength of the two teams is relatively close. Both are possible." He remembered saying something good, but there were some things he didn't say.
For example, he originally thought that UP would win three games in a row, but he had to give face, so he added a 1. Another example is that he wanted to say that Miller didn't comment in person yesterday, so he might not feel Qingyue's pressure, and today happened to have such an opportunity.
"The pre-match interview of the players is ready. Let's listen to it."
"Welcome to the pre-match interview session. Today we invite UP mid-lane player Qingyue. Come and say hello to everyone."
Pure business is forced.
This thing was actually pulled away for a unified interview as soon as he entered the venue. The staff happened to see Liang Yichen chatting with NIP players, and then naturally invited him and Doinb. Neither of them escaped.
This was Liang Yichen's first pre-match interview, and it was also a new experience.
Waiting to enter the venue, there were naturally fewer spectators in the venue today than yesterday, but the voices cheering for UP could be clearly heard.
Especially when the players were introduced on stage, the cheers were much more enthusiastic than yesterday.
It seems that tickets are indeed easy to buy and the competition is not that fierce.
"Today's audience is very powerful."
"There is a buddy next to me, and he scared me with a roar."
After sitting down and putting on headphones, the whole UP team began to chat.
The other four players have adapted to this rhythm. The originally low-key team environment has become much more relaxed under the leadership of Liang Yichen, and they will also talk about some things unrelated to the game.
The coach is happy to see this situation. A lively team is much better than a lifeless one, and this relaxed atmosphere is more popular on the field.
But you can't keep chatting.
"According to previous analysis, NIP's top and midfielders use more functional heroes, so the bottom lane bears the main output pressure."
"At present, everyone here can stand out and have a good output environment, so, Qingyue, what hero do you want to use in this game."
The coach's turn is inexplicably a bit abrupt~
The specific choice still depends on the BP situation.
NIP did not fall into the dilemma of banning five mid laners. They still dealt with the strong heroes in the current version, including Kalista, Wei, Yongen, Rakan and Renata. UP dealt with Ryze, Rumble, Scorpion, Poppy and Black Uncle in return. There will be many heroes released in the first game of BO5, so they cannot ban all of them. UP failed to take the lead in the first coin toss, so they had to be on the red side. However, for the five players, the red side is actually more adapted. Almost all the previous games were here. If they were switched to the blue side, they might not be able to adapt to the local climate. Of course, the players also knew that as long as Qingyue was on the field, the red side was their home. The final lineup is as follows. NIP on the blue side: Shanji-Crocodile on the top lane, Aki-Nightmare on the jungle, Doinb-Alola on the middle lane, Leave-Kassadin on the bottom lane, and ppgod-Rell on the support. UP on the red side: top lane 1 Jiang-Wolf Mother, jungle Junhao-Shrimp, mid lane qingyue-Jayce, bottom lane Wako-Xayah, support Rosielove-Aotaur.
UP's last ban of Poppy was a good choice, otherwise when Steadfast Style was activated, most heroes on the right would be restrained, especially the top lane Wolf Mother.
For NIP, the pressure was not only on the mid lane, but also on the jungler Aki. If the timing was not good, Nightmare would fly in and kill him directly. This was the situation faced by the first-hand point.
Why is the appearance rate of Shrimp high? Because the cost of starting a team fight is not high.
"I feel that UP is growing too fast. They are moving closer to strong teams in all aspects, but it still depends on whether they can win today's game."
I remember that I didn't notice that he had unconsciously spoken from the perspective of UP. Seeing the UP team's games for two consecutive days would indeed be affected.
As the coaches of both sides finished their instructions and left to fist-bump, the second game of the third day of the first stage of the knockout match officially began.
"Qingyue, do you have any small combos today?"
Jungler Junhao asked directly at the beginning of the game. He benefited a lot yesterday.
"No, there is not a drop left, completely dry."
"I don't believe it."
"Okay, let's go, five people go to the top lane."
