It took more than half a month for the MSI competition abroad. Mars finally qualified as No.4, but successfully defeated the Korean team, which was favored by everyone, in the semi-finals, but unfortunately lost to the strong rise of this year in the finals. EO, the spring champion of the European Division, also lost the chance to reach the Grand Slam this year.
It was the first time that Lu Xi discovered that what Qiao Shifei said was actually the truth. Sure enough, no one's youth is without regrets.
There are more or less gaps, which may be life.
If it were to be in the past, Lu Xi would inevitably have to think about it again.
However, Yukie gave him thought lessons first, he understood the thoughts of Yukie and several other people in Mars, and knew that they would no longer be frustrated by this kind of thing, so he only regretted a little, and did not complain about Daman again. Always so persistent.
Moreover, with the start of the LPL Summer Split approaching, RP has no time to care about Mars.
Even on the day Mars returned to China, Lu Xi was going to pick him up from the airport, but he was delayed because of a temporary training match.
A few days after Mars came back, the LPL started, and RP was "lucky" to be included in the first day's schedule.
The League of Legends official also knows that RP is a very popular team, so in order to attract more people to watch the game, RP is specially placed on the first day.However, RP's status and weight were not enough to play the opening game, so it was arranged in the seven o'clock game after the five o'clock opening game.
Most of the LPL's e-sports clubs are located in City S, so they have rented the Sequoia Arena here for a whole year, and the matches between teams in the same city will be held here.Only when playing against a few teams that have home games in other cities, do you need to fly to the city where that team is located for an away game.
For the two games on the first day, the four teams are all in S City, so they will be played successively in the Sequoia Arena.
The five-point field opener was assigned to CAI at bat.
Both are traditional strong teams, but one is the most stable team in the LPL, and the other is known for its changeable tactics. They have played wonderful game highlights in previous seasons.Moreover, the fans of the two teams also have feuds, at least in the e-sports circle, it is very effective and topical.
Immediately afterwards, RP played against SG. SG can be considered as the once powerful LPL, but after their star mid laner retired two years ago, this team has declined. In comparison, it is embarrassing.
"I was a fan of SG back then."
Du Huai crossed his hands and sat in the backstage lounge, watching SG's pre-match promotional video on the screen with some nostalgia.However, things are different, the SG logo has not changed and the team uniform has not changed, but the players have changed several times, and now they are all new faces appearing in the camera.
"Is it time for fans to beat up idols again?"
Lu Xi smiled, "It looks like we're going to win today."
"That's not necessarily true," Du Huai shook his finger, "How do you know it's not 'Welcome to LPL'?"
It may be dominated by some mysterious oriental force, LPL always has some inexplicable metaphysical stalks, such as the players who leave can always beat the old club violently, such as the fans can always rub their idols on the ground, or the new team will definitely be "welcome" Come to LPL".
Today was Team RP's LPL debut. There were more fans than Lu Xi imagined, and they were able to compete with Bat and CAI. This made Lu Xi realize that they are a star team.It's a pity that this star was not created by strength, but by variety show filming.
CAI and the Bat played the opening game until the third round to decide the winner. In the end, CAI won a small victory, so that the subsequent games were postponed and started an hour later.
When preparing to wait backstage, Lu Xi stood behind Yu You in order.
Yu You's stature was about the same as him, a little taller than him, so standing in front blocked his sight.Lu Xi's gaze could only fall on Yu You, from the back of his head to his straight spine.
Noticing that the gaze behind him was staring at his back for a long time, Yu You's back gradually straightened subconsciously, and he felt awkward no matter how he stood.
"Yu You." A hand patted his back lightly.
Yu You turned around stiffly, and saw Lu Xi smiling at him, "Don't be nervous."
It was rare for Lu Xi to fulfill the fan's wish today. He tried wearing contact lenses, and his eyes curved nicely, which was a bit more vivid than the usual gentleness.
"I'm not, nervous."
Just stop staring at me.
Yu You thought.
"It's normal to be nervous when I'm in LPL for the first time."
As the support position, Lu Xi stood last in the team, and had no other choice but to chat with Yu You in front to decompress.
Waiting outside the door for a long time, the CAI interview inside is not over yet.Lu Xi was a little tired from standing, so she couldn't help raising her hand, putting her elbow on Yu You's right shoulder and half propping it up. "When I played lpl for the first time, my hands were sweaty, and I finally went up and put a layer of paper on the mouse, it's so embarrassing..."
Thinking of something, Lu Xi poked him on the shoulder, narrowed his eyes and teased, "Shall I prepare a piece of paper for you?"
Yu You stretched out his hand in front of him, and said in a flat voice without any ups and downs, "Touch and see."
Lu Xi blinked, and took his hand, only to feel that the palm was dry, much warmer than his own... It was quite comfortable to hold.
"Looks like you don't need it."
Lu Xi shrugged, and was about to withdraw his hand, but found that Yu You held him back, and he couldn't move.
Yu You lowered his eyes calmly, and squeezed Lu Xi's palm and fingertips, "I think it's what you need now."
"I don't..."
Halfway through Lu Xi's words, the gate to the stadium has been opened by the staff.
The lights and cheers poured out from inside, and Lu Xi's half-sentence stopped abruptly. A long-lost sense of familiarity rushed over his face, awakening his most passionate, frivolous, lonely and darkest memories.
...he finally came back to LPL again.
Lu Xi glanced at the RP team logo on his arm, raised his mouth slightly, walked into the venue with his chest raised and his head raised.
This is the LPL.
No matter how it is imitated, it is still a different LPL.
"Lucifer!" "Ring!" "Come on!" "RP come on!"
As soon as the host invited the five RPs to enter the arena, the audience cheered one after another, mostly girls' voices.
However, when the five RP players and Canggou entered the arena, the moment the group was illuminated by the spotlights, the sound of cheering in the auditorium suddenly stopped, and the entire arena suddenly became strangely quiet for two seconds.
Everyone's eyes are focused on the costume style of the five RP starters that are simply incompatible with "e-sports"——
The pink and white team uniform jacket, the light pink RP flower font team logo on the arm, and the pink laces on the white sneakers...
Two seconds later, from an unknown corner, a cheering roar of a boy suppressed his laughter erupted.
"Come on, RubyPrincess!!!"
The laughter of all the fans watching the game seemed to have finally been poked, and they immediately burst into laughter.
All RP staff: "..."
The smile on Du Huai's face almost didn't collapse on the spot. He walked in the front with a smirk, bowed first and sat down in his upper unit. In front of him were the keyboard and mouse sponsored by their RP sponsor father. The design is also uniform pink and white.
"I hate pink."
As soon as Lu Xi and the others put on the earphones, they heard Du Huaisheng's declaration of lovelessness.
"Don't you think we don't match the painting style of the entire venue? I can still think of how the live barrage is laughing at us..."
Xia Keke was curious, "Will you laugh?"
Du Huai squeezed his throat and started to get angry, "RP is the Pink Detachment of Women? I almost thought there was an extra women's team in the LPL."
"It's a disgrace to the LPL that an e-sports team is sponsored by a girl's toy brand."
"As expected of the first princess team in the LPL, they are all female fans."
"After all, strength will fluctuate, but appearance will not."
"Wait," Lu Xi interrupted him, turning his head and looking past the three people to look at Du Huai who was still chattering beside him, "Stop fishing in troubled waters. Isn't your last sentence boasting yourself?"
Du Huai laughed a few times.
"Don't think about those useless things, just concentrate."
Lu Xi adjusted the distance between the microphones, "I don't know what the barrage is saying now, but if I lose, I know how the forum will scold me... Brothers, today is also the first time I return to LPL to play support. My My heart is weaker, can I be scolded less, everyone?"
"can."
Yu You twitched the corner of his mouth, and said nonsense in a serious manner, "I'll post a Weibo when I get back, if you want to scold me, don't scold my assistant."
Du Huai hissed with sourness, "Can you stop showing off, you two?"
"Finished talking?"
Canggou's cold voice came out of the headset, and the entire team's channel was silent immediately, and no one dared to say a word of nonsense.
The two sides entered the banpick interface. RP was on the blue side in the first game, and chose Kai'Sa and Pike's bottom lane team to fight against SG's Sivir and Lux.
Sivir and Lux are a very popular bot lane combination in this version, with almost no natural enemies.Lux is the soft support who mainly focuses on protection, while Sivir is more of a tool man, who can clear the line of troops more quickly, and he does not necessarily need to play an advantage in the early stage.
On the contrary, Kai'Sa and Pike are expected by the team.One is the main output point of the team in the late stage, and the other is because of the fast movement speed, it is necessary to roam around the whole field and launch unexpected attacks.
On Nakano, RP chose Aatrox first, and SG chose Kenan. These two are usually top lane heroes.However, when RP saw Kenan, he shook the sword demon to the middle lane and gave it to Xia Keke, and backhandedly chose a shepherd who restrained Kenan in the upper unit.
SG didn't sit still, and chose Jax who restrained the shepherd.
In the end, the two sides adjusted their heroes. SG transferred Jax to the top lane with Shepherd, and Kenan's middle lane with Sword Demon.
"Hey?"
Xia Keke stared at her lineup, "Why do you seem to have dug a hole and buried yourself..."
"It was reversed."
Canggou's face darkened slightly.
The SG players changed from team to team, but the coach was still Yan Yue who had been leading the team since his peak.He has the strength to make such a design.Canggou is clear.So he was not surprised that he was reversed.
The two commentators in the commentary room next door also began to analyze the lineups of the two sides.
"Swapping the lines in this way, it seems that the three lines of SG are Xiaoyou."
"The advantage of the lineup depends on who plays."
After Canggou got off the stage, Lu Xi comforted his teammates in the microphone, "If you can win with a good lineup, what are we still doing here?"
Yu You hummed, and everyone else echoed, as if they were cheering each other on before the first battle.
However, that being said, at the beginning of the game, RP's lineup was slightly inferior, and all three lines were still pressed under the tower.This scene is almost rare since the five of them formed a team.
Even the first blood broke their team's record.
At 5 minutes, Du Huai wanted to go to the middle lane to support Xia Keke, but was blocked by the opponent's top laner, forcibly killed him, and took a blood.
In all previous matches and training matches, RP's first blood was often sent by Xia Keke, sometimes in the bottom lane, and occasionally Qiao Shifei, but Du Huai had never missed a shot.
Besides, today he was still single-handedly killed by the opponent.
"Hey, it's interesting."
Fortunately, Du Huai's psychological quality is very strong. After being single-killed, he was only stunned for a moment, and even smiled happily.
Lu Xi was not too frustrated, but he was deeply aware of it.
The intensity of LPL is indeed different from those previous games. They can't turn things around only by their personal laning strength, but rely on tactics and command.
As for the command, it depends on the captain's decision-making.
It was the first time that Lu Xi discovered that what Qiao Shifei said was actually the truth. Sure enough, no one's youth is without regrets.
There are more or less gaps, which may be life.
If it were to be in the past, Lu Xi would inevitably have to think about it again.
However, Yukie gave him thought lessons first, he understood the thoughts of Yukie and several other people in Mars, and knew that they would no longer be frustrated by this kind of thing, so he only regretted a little, and did not complain about Daman again. Always so persistent.
