Alliance: My Qinggang Shadow made my alma mater famous

Chapter 251 [The eve of departure]

United States.

Los Angeles, Santa Monica area.

On a May morning, the warm, salty wind from the Gold Coast rattled the windows in the flat-floor office.

Annie, wearing Little Red Riding Hood, hugged her Tibbers bear and stood quietly in the exhibition area, guarding the morning tranquility of Riot.

On the wall behind her, there are all kinds of precious photos, recording the history of the fist company along the way.

A big bald man with a KCF takeaway paper bag and earphones walked into the park humming a song.

When he walked into the office in the design district and found that the windows were all open, he couldn't help but frowned and shouted loudly.

"Ji Wen, you forgot to close the window again last night!"

A few minutes later, the bearded man in a baseball cap slowly got up from the sofa, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Sorry, August, it was so stuffy in the room last night," he said, and he yawned, "Can you give me half of your hamburger, I'm so hungry that I could eat a cow now."

The big bald man rolled his eyes, picked out a piece of hamburger from the paper bag, and threw it to him in the air.

The two sat by the window, looking at the beach in the distance, and chatted.

Among the current hero designers of Riot Games, Shay and August are the two most outstanding representatives.

During this period of last year, Ji Wen single-handedly handled the design of the top laner Qing Gangying, and in this year's spring split, he once again brought out his masterpiece Ornn. In the design of the top laner, he performed very well .

Among the four top-ranked sisters, he also participated in the remake and modification of Sword Ji, Ruiwen, and Sword Girl.

August, the bald head, led the design of Vayne, Jinx, Jhin and other AD heroes. The "three rings" skill mechanism is also his original idea.

This year, Kai'Sa, Daughter of the Void, is his masterpiece.

"You have finished modifying the MSI version last night, right? Today is the deadline. If you still can't submit it, the two of us may be thrown into the sea by Morello (the chief designer) to feed the sharks."

"Don't worry, all the proposals have been handed in," Ji Wen shook his head, "If it wasn't for the incident in the LPL division, I wouldn't have dragged it until today."

"Haha, I have already said that you have a big problem with the balance mechanism. At the beginning, I thought Qing Gangying was a hero with high basic attributes, but you still don't admit it." August gloated.

"Please! By this year's MSI, I have cut four versions," Ji Wen said helplessly, "The ghost knows how the top laner from the LPL can develop Qinggangying to this point."

"When I was modeling, I didn't expect to be able to play that kind of operation. I really wanted to see how this person's brain circuit is long, so the BOSS made me rush to work all night."

August touched his beard: "However, the LPL Finals the day before yesterday was really surprising. I had already bet with Morello that EDG will win 18 consecutive victories this year ([-] consecutive victories in the regular season + season [-]) Playoff two consecutive victories) into MSI, who knew EDG would lose the game in such a way."

"The Young Miracle team is really interesting." Ji Wen made a cup of black coffee and drank it down. "This should be the first club in the LPL division to complete the triple jump in one season."

"I'm more interested in the top laner from YM," August recalled. "This spring, Censer and Banner of Command established the rhythm of the mid-bottom version. The top laner should have been based on the Olympic The tank tool man represented by En.

"But it's really surprising that this top laner dominated the LPL finals while completely reversing the version of BP."

"You're laughing at the blue steel shadow I made for being too buggy, aren't you?" Ji Wen rolled his eyes, "Still thinking about the last time the boss handed over the modification of Lucian and Calista (skate shoes) to me? "

"Of course," August raised his eyebrows, "You just need to manage your top lane honestly. You don't know anything about the position of ADC. Believe me, Kai'Sa will be big in MSI. Shine."

"Let's wait and see." Ji Wen ignored him, turned on the four screens on his desk, and began to prepare for a new day's work.

The 2018 MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational is less than five days away.

They need to check the 8.9 version used at MSI, whether there will be some changes that affect the balance of the region.

As the first World Series in half a year, MSI can be regarded as a preview of the global finals at the end of the year.

Fourteen championship teams from all over the world gather here for the semi-annual big test.

The balance of the competition area has always been the concept followed by the fist company.

Although most designers this year agree that the championship will fall into the hands of the overlord of the LCK Spring Split, Samsung GenG.

After all, after winning the S championship last year, they once again defeated SKT led by the big devil in the spring finals this year, and it seemed very incomprehensible.

However, at least the other regions cannot be made to appear too weak.

The LPL, which is rich in ADCs, and the European division, where there are many mid laners, also need to be taken care of.

"If this year is RNG with Uzi, or EDG, I think there is still hope for LPL, but YM's bot lane has a short board, and it seems that it cannot be taken care of by the MSI version." Ji Wen said.

"Originally, the possibility of winning the LPL division is not high," August said with a smile, "In my eyes, EDG and WE will have stronger hard power than YM, and the latter's ability to come to MSI is all thanks to you Ah Shay."

Ji Wen, who was too lazy to bicker, put on his earphones silently, intending to continue modifying the model.

Before officially starting work, he couldn't help opening the webpage again, and entered a string of letters.

The Huaxia youth in black appeared on his screen.

In the photo, he was bathed in the spotlight, holding the trophy in both hands, dazzling as if he owned the whole world.

"Jiang...ke...big." Ji Wen read these Chinese characters jerkyly, then shook his head.

Because of this guy, designers all over the company are now laughing at themselves for having a problem with their balanced design work.

The boss even asked him to fully check whether the attributes of top lane warrior heroes such as Qinggangying, Jianji, Daomei, and Ruiwen were overflowing, which added a lot of extra workload.

The last player who would increase the workload of the designer in this way was Faker who debuted in S3. At that time, almost every time he took out a hero on the field, it would give people a feeling of unbalanced hero design.

"Troublesome guy." Shay mumbled and closed the webpage.

……

Modu, YM base.

Many fans gathered near the base, holding photos of various players, commemorative team uniforms and other peripheral products, wanting to have a chance for the players to go out, ask for an autographed group photo, and the like.

In the past few days after winning the spring championship, YM's attention has also risen sharply.

On Weibo, Douyin, Tieba, Bilibili, Zhihu and other major social media sites, there are many topics related to YM's championship.

Among them, the topic of #江州科技大学#, the night after the game the day before yesterday, even rushed to the top of the hot search, and even added the word "explosive" in front of it.

After all, the process of YM winning the league championship was full of drama, and the protagonist Jiang Keda itself was full of various topics.

In addition, there are a series of derived topics.

For example, EDG is ahead of [-] and the economy is overturned.

For example, Meng Ma, who was so lucky that he won the LPL championship in the first season of coaching, was dubbed the koi, and his photos were forwarded on the Internet.

Also, the face change of EDG boss Ed Zhu, who was watching the game in the audience that day, changed from joy to sorrow in the last game, was also made an emoji package and circulated on the Internet.

And YM's "One Piece stalk" has also been spoofed by netizens.

Some netizens directly put the face of the factory director on the face of the "White Beard" of the Four Emperors, and at the same time added the character's classic lines, "I am a remnant of the old era, and the new world has no boat to carry me."

Of course, netizens are more concerned about the next journey of MSI.

……

"Hey... slow down!"

PDD, who was wearing a large hospital gown, sat in a wheelchair and was pushed into the hall of the base by Xiao Ma and Shen Lingmin.

"Hey, it's better to be kind when you go home." PDD looked around, and then his eyes fell on Su Chen who was smiling in front of him.

"Awesome!" PDD gave him a thumbs up, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

You said that he was a small boss of a secondary league. He had no hope at first, but within half a year, he suddenly transformed into an LPL league champion club.

When Su Chen made a video call to him at the championship site, PDD once thought it was because of overuse of anesthesia during the operation, and he had hallucinations, and realized that all of this was true until his face was swollen.

"Hurry up and bring it to the prostitute teacher." Xiao Ma urged.

After all, Xiaotian and the left hand duo joined forces to hold the heavy spring championship trophy in front of PDD.

According to the LPL practice, the team that wins the league championship can keep the Silver Dragon Cup for a period of time, and the official will give a re-engraved one as a souvenir for subsequent matches, and the original will be recycled and saved for the next league awards.

After putting the trophy into his arms, PDD couldn't help rubbing his chubby face on the trophy, and even kissed it a few times. Although his appearance was funny, it was enough to show the excitement in his heart.

"Teacher prostitute, what does this trophy taste like?" Xiaotian asked with a smile.

"Great fragrance, super sweet." PDD said solemnly.

Everyone in YM welcomed PDD in with a smile, and held a small celebration party at the same time. Under the murderous eyes of his sister-in-law Shen Lingmin, PDD bit the bullet and ate a piece of cake, and finally put down the knife and fork resentfully.

"Old Su, chat with me alone for a while." PDD beckoned, pushing the wheelchair and slipping away quickly.

The two came to the courtyard outside the base.

PDD stretched, and with Su Chen's support, he slowly stood up.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect to win the championship this spring," PDD said frankly, "I don't know how to thank you."

"If you have any dissatisfaction, please mention it to me, and I will solve it as soon as possible."

"It's enough for you to take good care of your body." Su Chen smiled.

"Yeah," PDD nodded, "you're going to fly to Berlin tonight, it's hard for you to delay it for a day just to wait for my return."

"It's okay, it's said that Mr. Pei has booked us a five-star hotel in Berlin for a month in advance?" Su Chen said.

The 2018 MSI finalists and group matches were held in Berlin, Germany.

The group stage is about to start, and tonight, the whole YM team is going to leave by plane.

"Old Pei? It's more like spending money indiscriminately. Although we made a lot of money in the LPL, this guy can't wait to spend money faster than he can make money." PDD was a little speechless.

"If I have the opportunity, I would also like to thank Mr. Pei in person. If he hadn't been so willing to devote himself, maybe we wouldn't have achieved such good results." Su Chen said seriously.

The two chatted for a while, and looked forward to MSI.

After winning the league championship, PDD felt that he had already performed supernormally. As for MSI, he didn't feel very good about it. He just told Su Chen repeatedly not to put too much pressure on him.

Do your best.

In the afternoon, the YM base has a collective holiday.

The players went out to buy some necessities, while Su Chen went for an hour of jogging in the base gym.

After sweating profusely, he took a hot shower and returned to his room.

His luggage had already been packed, and he didn't have much to bring.

They usually wear team uniforms, and leave things like passports to Xiao Ma and the others.

Nothing in particular needs him to prepare.

The phone placed on the table suddenly vibrated.

"Hey, brother!! Are you flying to Germany tonight?" The voice of younger brother Su Yuan came from the phone.

"You've already asked eight hundred times." Su Chen said helplessly.

Since YM won the championship the day before yesterday, my younger brother Su Yuan would call himself almost every few hours, either asking how it feels to win the championship, or asking what the championship trophy looks like.

The next step is to ask myself to send him some signed photos back, so that he can get the school to pretend to be aggressive.

Excited as if this LPL champion also has his share.

"It's great. I can still travel abroad. Remember to bring me back some local specialties from Berlin." Su Yuan said excitedly.

"Okay, then I'll give you a whole box of authentic German pancakes." Su Chen said seriously.

"OKOK," Su Yuan happily agreed, and then added, "By the way, brother, after the high school entrance examination at the end of June, I can come to Shanghai to find you, my parents agree."

"If you can guarantee to be admitted to a key high school in the city, then there is no problem." Su Chen said.

At the end of June, it should happen to be the opening match of the summer split, so Su Yuan's presence didn't affect anything.

"Don't worry, the first place in my exam is as easy as drinking water." Su Yuan said proudly.

Although this statement sounds watery, it is mostly true.

The younger brother Su Yuan is smarter than himself, whether it is in reading or in the talent of LOL.

"But then I should play a game, but I don't have time to take you around." Su Chen reminded.

"Don't worry, I have friends in Shanghai, so I'm here to meet Ji." Su Yuan said with a smile.

"You can still make friends in Shanghai? What are you doing?" Su Chen asked curiously.

"A buddy who used to play double row with me before. He is super powerful. It is said that he has passed the trial training in the e-sports club in Shanghai. I will meet him then." Su Yuan chattered a lot .

"That's it, let's talk about it when the time comes." Su Chen couldn't stand this talkative brother, and after a few perfunctory words, he hung up the phone.

My younger brother Su Yuan was also at the diamond level before. During the Chinese New Year, I also helped him get his number to the top of the canyon. It is not impossible to meet a few youth players.

However, these are not what Su Chen is concerned about right now.

　Sorry, a bit of a Calvin, an hour late.

　　In addition, congratulations to Brother Li for his tenth consecutive championship.

　　It was exactly the opposite of the LCK finals result in my book. .
