Fierce shooter

Los Angeles, California.

The long journey made everyone on the LPL team exhausted physically and mentally.

Fortunately, LPL officials have arranged the hotel where they will stay, with two people per room, and the training room has also been properly arranged.

Not surprisingly, Shi Senming strongly requested to be in the same room with Li Lu.

Li Luo didn't care. Shi Senming didn't look like he could snore, so just let him be.

This time Li Luo slept in a daze.

Before his rebirth, Li Luo disliked the feeling of jet lag.

This is also the main reason why he either doesn't go abroad or stays for a long time once he goes abroad.

It was daytime when everyone set out.

It was still daytime when we arrived in the United States.

Now I wake up in the dark night.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

Dimly, he picked up his phone and checked the time, then Li Luo rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed.

Glancing at Shi Senming who was still sleeping on the other bed next to him, Li Luofang walked lightly towards the training room.

Before entering the room, LPL official staff took them to the training room for a look.

Li Luo just calculated that he had only slept for about six hours.

Play a few games, wait until midnight before going to bed, and sleep until dawn. This is Li Luo's previous experience in adjusting for jet lag.

There was a public restroom next to the training room. Li Luo washed his face and pushed open the door of the training room.

To Li Luo's surprise, the training room was not empty.

957 is also there.

"Brother Legs? Are you awake?"

"I went to bed, but I felt like I couldn't sleep much in the first night, so I set a vibrating alarm clock."

957 smiled: "How many games do we want to play together?"

"Okay, then I'll start a live broadcast."

Li Luo walked to 957 and sat down, connected the peripherals and turned on the phone. Then Li Luo contacted the staff of Panda TV to start broadcasting from overseas.

It was daytime in the country at this time.

Li Luo is now a popular anchor on Panda TV, and Panda really hopes that he can broadcast more.

Even in the offline state, Li Luo found that there were still living people in the live broadcast room, and there were quite a few of them.

"Brother Luo, on the fourth day without live broadcast, I miss you."

"At first glance, he is a fake fan. Brother Luo has obviously not broadcast live for four days and three hours."

"Is the anchor here? If so, I'll give you a deduction."

"Is there really someone who stays in the live broadcast room every day? No way, right?"

"Brother Luo is going to participate in the All-Star Game. It's dark in Los Angeles right now, so he should be sleeping. Even if you find time to stay here, you have to find the right time. If Brother Luo starts airing, I will eat my phone on the spot. .”

957 came over, looked at the messages that kept floating in the chat box of Li Luo's live broadcast room, and said with emotion: "You have more active fans without the broadcast than I do with the broadcast."

Li Luowu said that in e-sports, results speak for themselves.

The multi-faceted effects of the Bird's Nest championship far exceeded Li Luo's previous expectations.

As time went by, Li Luo gradually got used to this feeling.

After getting a reply from the Panda Technology Department, Li Luo started the live broadcast.

The live broadcast room lit up instantly, and the barrage next to it also stopped briefly.

The next moment, overwhelming questions emerged.

"Damn it, you're cheating!"

"Brother Luo, where's the sex head? Where's the head?"

"Could this be a proxy broadcast?"

"The big brother who just cheated on me by eating and drinking, the one whose ID is Qing and our fellow gangsters will be filming, hurry up, send it over from the live broadcast room, and show off eating on your mobile phone!"

Looking at the crazy scrolling barrage, Li Luo cleared his throat and said: "Um... we are in the hotel now. There are no cameras, so everyone will make do with it. Next, I will double queue with my leg brother to play on the American server. , chatting with everyone by the way or something."

"It's really Brother Luo!"

"I was just bored when Brother Luo came and burst into tears."

"Brother Leg? Brother Leg, V's biological brother?"

"Yes, the one who looks like V is Leg Brother, and the one who looks like Leg Brother is V."

Some people began to buy gifts one after another, and the popularity of the live broadcast room also soared rapidly.

Li Luo and 957 soon started a double queue.

The account used is a high-hidden-score American server account prepared by Riot for the players for this All-Star Game.

Therefore, even if they haven't positioned themselves yet, the two of them are still ranking players around the US server's King Division.

This was not Li Luo's first time playing games on a US server, but to be fair, Li Luo didn't really like playing US servers.

Whether you are in China or in the United States, there will be a certain delay when playing the US server. Although this delay is not particularly high, it is much higher than the Chinese server and Korean server.

The US server has a lot of operating monsters, but the number of slaves is incomparable to the Chinese server and Korean server, so playing on the US server is mainly based on happiness.

When Li Luo chose Kalista in the bottom lane, 957 was still hesitant.

"This version, captain, is good. You can give it a try."

Li Luo suggested.

This is the main game after all.

Although 957's hero pool is not shallow, the last version is completely different from this version. 957, which has been taking a break for a while, may not have found the direction to improve in this version.

"Captain? Then Brother Luo, you have to kill me."

957 smiled: "Some people captain E and play barrels, some captains only use ultimate moves to play support, and some people only play guns. I am different. I usually play captain. Orange's."

"Rank, you just need to practice more. If I remember correctly, we should be playing against the Brazilian team on the first day of the group stage. With your strength, you can evolve into a gun-playing captain."

"how about you?"

"I'll just be casual when the time comes. I'll be a fortune teller or something."

Li Luo's "casualness" left 957 speechless.

And the barrage has already exploded.

"It's a classic and you can just mix it up with a fortune teller."

"To be honest, I don't believe Brazil dares to let this thing go."

“Brazilian veterans fainted in the toilet crying.”

"The Brazilian team said that we are Brazil, not the West Eight, and we also hope that you can be merciful as individuals."

Something went wrong in the first US server ranking game between 957 and Li Luo.

The reason was that their jungler had moved to support, and the two junglers quarreled with each other about changing positions.

Although there was no hangup, the rhythm of this game was obviously messed up.

Li Luo spoke English skillfully and interacted with several teammates while countless spectators were stunned.

During the interaction, Li Luo relied on Kalista's mobility to successfully complete a 1v2 double kill while avoiding the Niutou Second Company.

"I'm a kid. I'm typing while killing people, and I can speak English. How can I be so evil?"

"I understand the truth, but I really don't understand. Brother Luo can also speak English???"

"Sure enough, the only value of my presence in this world is to make up for it."

"One thing to say, Brother Luo is already at level 6 in English. I am already a junior and have not passed level 4. I am bursting with tears."

"Brother Luo is younger than me, and he is so much better than me. Thinking on the bright side, maybe I can only be slightly better in terms of family conditions."

…

The game lasted 44 minutes and 03 seconds, but Li Luo relied on his excellent communication skills to win with his teammates who were scattered and quarreling.

Although this is just an ordinary high-scoring public ranking in the US server, for the editors, this is a wave of high-quality traffic material!

"The FMVP player of the World Finals was impressed by his ranking in the US server and inspired his teammates, and his fluent English stunned the audience!"

"When God opens a window for him, he is destined to open another door for him."

"Shocked! League of Legends e-sports players are actually hidden academic masters?!"

"He can obviously rely on his appearance, but he has to rely on his strength..."

…

Li Luo also didn't expect that his daily live broadcast would cause such a big rhythm.

At this time, Li Luo suddenly understood why before his rebirth, some people always said that Uzi supported countless self-media companies by himself.

The traffic era is so scary.

Taking advantage of the halftime break, Li Luo opened the webpage and took a rough look at the format of this All-Star Game.

There are a total of eight representative regions participating in the competition.

They are LPL, LCK, European LCS, North American LCS, LMS, Turkish TCL, Southeast Asian GPL, and Brazilian CBLOL. These eight representative competition regions.

The first game of the day usually kicks off at 7:15 am Capital Time.

In the main game, the eight divisions are divided into two groups for a BO1 confrontation. The four-to-two semi-finals are a BO3 confrontation, and the final is a BO5 confrontation.

In addition to the main game, there is also a solo game every day.

The players in the solo competition on the LPL side are Rookie and Li Luo.

Li Luo originally wanted to refuse.

But Prince Ning forced him to confess, which made Li Luo speechless and wanted to secretly kill him.

I have no choice but to bite the bullet and participate. It’s a solo game anyway, so just play casually and have fun.

You still need to pay more attention during the main competition.

The captain of 957 does play a little green.

But Li Luo discovered the excellent quality of 957.

He is a person who will definitely not be anxious.

In this respect, 957 is somewhat similar to Jin Gong, but not quite like Jin Gong.

Jin Gong belongs to that type. When a heavy burden falls on him, he will dare to operate even if he takes some risks.

But 957's style in the game is far from as gentle as he appears on the surface.

957 will go when he needs to resist damage.

But more often than not, 957 will put his teamfight position in a position that is very embarrassing for the enemy's backline heroes.

It's like his captain in this game.

During the group fight, he kept his distance. As soon as he released the bucket, he didn't rush to detonate it. He just used his ultimate move and stared at the opponent's C position.

Although it is somewhat bluffing, this style of play is more likely to work wonders in higher-end games.

In the low-end round, players can't tell whether 957 is really sure enough to find the opportunity to kill him or is bluffing. There is only one word in the minds of the players in the low-end round.

Dry.

In high-end games, heroes like Monkey can often deceive opponents with their false identities.

But in low-end games...

What?

False identity?

I've raised my ashes for you, whether you have a fake body or not, I'll chop them all to death for you.

The same goes for the captain.

957's barrel play is not skillful. If the opponent's output position is really brave and dares to attack, 957 may not be able to threaten them.

But 957 is hiding it. He will basically not expose all his trump cards to his opponents.

This invisible pressure can often produce miraculous effects in a game.

Therefore, when lining up with 957, Li Luo only needs to deal with the opponent's front row in most cases.

This is also the main reason why the WE team's adc brother-in-law has always focused on the late-stage core.

Any adc would love a player with a style like 957.

Li Luo is no exception.

The two played heartily for six sets and won six consecutive games.

Looking at the large 666 on the barrage, Li Luo said with a smile: "Brothers, I am going to download the broadcast. Continue to adjust the time difference... As for when the next broadcast will be broadcast... it will be next time!"

Li Luo turned off the live broadcast amid the barrage of question marks.

Then the two of them went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Another six or seven hours passed.

When Li Luo opened his eyes again, he could already see the light outside the window through the curtains.

This time, Li Luo's spirit was undoubtedly much better than when he got up before.

I glanced at the bed next door and it was empty.

It seemed that Shi Senming had gotten up at some point.

Li Luo got up, washed himself, washed his hair, dried it and walked to the restaurant.

People depend on food, and he is hungry.

The restaurants in this hotel are all self-service. The LPL has paid the fees in advance, so players can eat whenever they want.

It's 9 a.m. US time.

It's past breakfast time and lunch hasn't arrived yet.

This time was rather awkward, so Li Luo simply decided to eat something casually and wait until noon.

After eating two good-sized cheese-baked lobsters, Li Luo burped and walked toward the training room.

"Gao Zhenning, what's the auxiliary system for the excavator?"

"Why do you want to play jungle when you have nothing to do? I want to pick your feet for hunting wild vegetables."

"What can I do to fill in the gap? Hurry, hurry up, there are still ten seconds left."

"Red! Red!"

"Which one is red? Hey, Brother Luo, are you awake? Hehe."

"First in the first row!"

"Is there more? Brother Luo, have you eaten?"

Prince Ning:......

Li Luo felt like he had heard this conversation somewhere.

"Click Zombie Guard, this talent is very buggy."

Li Luo glanced at Shi Senming's interface and said.

Shi Senming's hand speed was so fast that he successfully clicked OK at the last second. Then he smiled and said: "Gao Zhenning, listen, listen, why are you still playing jungle? Can't you learn from Brother Luo?"

"Don't make me slap you."

Prince Ning discovered that Shi Senming had changed.

He was heartbroken that his once good partner was now like this.

"This version of Zombie Guard is very buggy, please be careful."

Although Li Luo felt helpless at the quarrel between the two, he felt more relaxed than ever in this atmosphere.

Mafa was also in the training room. He nodded slightly after hearing Li Luo's words: "Indeed, the appearance of zombie guards will affect many teams, especially strong teams."

After the translator finished speaking, Li Luo and Mafa looked at each other and smiled.

They both wanted to go together.

Zombie Guard is a tracking rune in the Domination system.

The effect is that after participating in the killing of an enemy guard (field of view), friendly zombie guards will crawl out of the enemy guard's body. The duration of the guard is 180 seconds.

Li Luo knew this when EDG held a collective meeting before, but Abu also saw the clues and analyzed the impact of zombie guards on the version at the meeting.

If the changes to the heroes only affect the playing style of IG, then the emergence of zombie guards is tantamount to planting a landmine in the originally blocked IG tactical style.

It is no exaggeration to say that this new eye positioning mechanism may even subvert the fundamental gameplay of this game.

In the S7 World Championship, the macro style that IG showed to the audience was to suppress the three lines, and then enter your jungle area to lay out your vision and squeeze your vision resources.

But now with the emergence of Zombie Guard, it means that once the field of vision invaded and deployed in the wild area is cleared, the opponent will get a Zombie Guard that lasts for 180 seconds at no cost.

To put it bluntly, the advantage side loses a field of vision.

Instead, the disadvantaged side used the advantageous side's vision to protect their own jungle area without paying the cost of ward position.

In Li Luo's view, this has a great impact on IG's overall style.

It's just... there is someone else who suffers the worst.

That is the SSG team that likes to play defense.

IG in the World Championship has already experienced how strong SSG's defensive vision is.

But under the zombie guards, their defensive eye position will become a natural fort for the invaders after their vision is eliminated.

The truth is that you have to eat the poisonous mushrooms you planted.

In Li Luo's impression, this plan was originally set up for the SSG team that won the championship before the rebirth. This was also one of the main reasons why the SSG team's performance plummeted in the S8 season.

It's just that this plan is also suitable for a fierce team like IG that likes to play an invasion style.

If Li Luoliu thinks well, this is also the main reason why Riot will include him in the main competition of this All-Star Game. They want to find the version of the game through the collision of top players selected from each major competition area. vulnerabilities and make subsequent adjustments to the version.

The weakening of the Zombie Guard is a certainty, and the three-minute duration is too oppressive.

This version of jungle is so crucial.

…

Just as everyone in the LPL was actively training to prepare for the All-Star Game, another storm of public opinion quietly arose.

Players from the North American LCS and European LCS began to interact on Twitter.

It has long been known to everyone that the two divisions do not deal with each other.

But what the audience never expected was that the two divisions would quarrel from another extremely tricky angle.

The groupings for the All-Star Game have been released.

Group A is the LCK, European LCS, Southeast Asia GPL, and TCL.

Group B is the LPL, LMS, Brazilian GBLOL and North American LCS.

The two divisions are not in the same group, and teasing each other about whether their opponents can make it to the knockout round is just one aspect, but on the other side...

"Even if we lose, we still lose to the LPL. If you lose, you lose to the LCK. The LPL is the first division in the world. The value of losing a game is simply incomparable, isn't it? Rubbish EU!"

This sentence directly made everyone in the EU fume: "What happened to the LCK? Have you forgotten the world runner-up who was almost crushed by MSF in our region last year? The rubbish LCK is waiting, and I will torture you this time."

The people in LCK were confused.

Noisy, noisy, why did the flames of war come to them inexplicably?

The joys and sorrows of people are different from each other.

For the LCK division, this is their revenge battle.

So they are more serious than ever.

For the LPL division, if someone wants to provoke, of course you have to brace yourself and deal with it seriously.

In the eyes of big brothers in Europe and the United States, All-Stars are just a place for entertainment.

Both the LMS and GPL divisions are holding the idea of ​​​​oldsix to see if they can take advantage of the loopholes and drag down the strong teams.

As for the Brazil and Türkiye divisions...

We are just here to play and run with you, and it’s okay for the big brothers to abuse you lightly.

In this atmosphere, the All-Star Game quietly kicked off.

ps: The number of words is not enough, so I will update it. There are still more words before midnight. I have adjusted my writing ideas in the past two days. Although my writing is a bit slow, I hope to make progress slowly.
