LOL: What is a self-destructive jungler?

After a month's rest, DYG members gathered again.

LOL theme park, competition venue, Luo Sen led the DYG team into the backstage lounge.

At this time in the locker room, the other three teams representing the LPL region were already in place.

BLG, JDG, LNG.

As soon as Luo Sen came in, Kanavi greeted him, "The DYG people are here."

Everyone looked over and came up to say hello.

Toothpaste greeted: "Boss Luo, I feel relieved when I see your DYG."

Luo Sen joked: "Are you confident that you can win the championship?"

Toothpaste quickly explained: "Forget about winning the championship. With you guys here, our LPL results won't be too bad, and we won't have to swim back."

Missing also came up to join in the fun: "We need to help each other, and study the version together. DYG has so many strategies, share a few, and we will take the top four."

Meiko joked, "That's not good. If they take all four spots, it will be hard to attack them since they are all our own people."

As everyone was talking and laughing, a staff member appeared at the door and reminded them, "Everyone, we are about to go on stage. Are you all here?"

What will be held today is the LPL departure ceremony. The DYG team will lead the other three teams out of the lounge, ready to go on stage.

On stage, after a brief opening speech, the host invited the contestants to come on stage:

"First up is the No. 1 seed representing the LPL region, DYG!"

Luo Sen brought all the DYG players onto the stage. All of them were wearing new uniforms with the names and logos of various sponsors on them.

When Luo Sen was looking for a manufacturer to design his logo, the manufacturer asked for more money because there were too many logos. There was nothing he could do about it.

After the DYG team made their debut, the host continued, "Then, it's the second seed representing the LPL region, BLG!"

Next are the third seed JDG and the fourth seed LNG.

The four teams came on stage one by one and took a group photo together.

Luo Sen was invited to give a speech as a representative. Luo Sen said a few words casually, and the departure ceremony was over.

After the departure ceremony, the four teams rushed to the airport together, ready to go to their destination together.

After an hour's flight, the four LPL teams landed in LCK.

At the airport gate, hundreds of fans were already waiting.

DYG received a warm welcome as soon as they came out:

"DYG! DYG! DYG!"

"Boss Luo, I am your fan!"

"BLG, BLG! BLG!"

"Watch the movie, watch the movie!"

Luo Sen greeted: "Thank you for your support, thank you."

The four teams took photos together with the fans. Luo Sen continued to walk forward and scanned the audience. Soon, he saw three familiar figures.

I saw three men standing not far away, holding flowers, tall and short.

Luo Sen walked up and greeted, "Zhixun, long time no see."

The tall guy among them was none other than Chovy.

Chovy came up, presented flowers, and gave Luo Sen a hug: "Gege, you are finally here."

Nuguri, who was standing nearby, found Thehsy decisively: "Teacher Shy."

Theshy looked at the flower in Nuguri's hand for a moment, but finally did not reach out to take it.

Nuguri explained: "It was Ji-hoon's idea."

At the same time, Liu Qingsong went to find Yu Wenbo and Meiko.

"Songsong." Yu Wenbo strode forward and wanted to take the flowers.

Something happened that he didn't expect.

Liu Qingsong walked past him and went straight to find Meiko.

"field."

"Songsong."

The two cherished each other.

Yu Wenbo stood there, staring at the two of them, and started to complain:
"No, you two are both supporting roles, aren't you competitors? What the hell are you doing?"

However, Liu Qingsong and Meiko ignored him.

Luo Sen teased, "Wenbo, if you can't squeeze into a circle, don't force it, understand?"

Chovy said, "Gege, let's go to the training base first and put down our luggage, otherwise it will be inconvenient."

Luo Sen asked: "The training base you are talking about is DRX's training base?"

Chovy and Nuguri mentioned this in the group before.

Chovy looked at Nuguri and said, "Yeah, it's a pity that our Nuguri didn't even make it to the S-League this time."

Nuguri seemed a little embarrassed. After all, everyone here was familiar with each other, and whoever didn't make it to the S game would be embarrassed.

At the same time, Liu Qingsong came over and said, "Boss Luo, long time no see."

Luo Sen responded: "Songsong, you are more active in this S game than I thought. I thought you might not come."

Liu Qingsong smiled and said, "I took a year off, traveling and eating delicious food every day, and it felt boring. I don't know why, but when I saw the S game started, I wanted to come and take a look."

“I have to say, League of Legends is much more interesting than traveling.”

"Hahaha." Luo Sen laughed.

Yu Wenbo said: "You can consider making a comeback, Songsong. With your talent, it will be no problem."

Liu Qingsong sighed: "Let's talk about it later, mainly because I'm old."

Luo Sen said, "Let's go to the DRX training base first, and we'll talk about anything later."

Everyone was about to set off when Bin came over with the BLG members.

Bin asked, "Mr. Luo, where are you going? Not to the hotel?"

Luo Sen responded, "We went to the DRX training base. They didn't make it to the S game, so they had it vacant."

"So cool?" Bin was surprised. It was much more convenient to be at the training base than at the hotel.

However, BLG and DRX don’t have much friendship, and they are not popular in LCK, so there is nothing we can do.

Luo Sen led the DYG team and followed Nuguri to the roadside.

There were two cars parked on the side of the road, and Nuguri and Chovy drove up.

There is not enough space in two cars, so we need to take another one.

The three cars set off together and arrived at DRX's training base a moment later.

After checking in at the DRX training base and packing their luggage, Nuguri took everyone to a restaurant for dinner.

After entering the box, Luo Sen found a place to sit down.

Luo Sen asked, "Nuguri, what are your plans for next year? The talent pool in LCK seems to be highly concentrated right now, and all of them have been taken away by the top few clubs. It's hard to find good teammates."

Nuguri scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and then said, "I want to take a break next year."

Luo Sen glanced at Liu Qingsong and said, "Those who are still working want to rest, and those who have already rested want to make a comeback. Maybe this is life."

Yu Wenbo pressed the issue: "Nuguri, have you thought it through? If you regret it later, it won't be that easy to make a comeback."

Nuguri was quite resolute: "I have thought it through. It is impossible for me to win the championship again in my current state."

After hearing this, everyone understood what was going on.

Since he has completely lost his fighting spirit, there is nothing to persuade him.

Nuguri lamented: "DWG, there's no coming back."

Chovy joked: "Nuguri's phone wallpaper is still a picture of DWG celebrating the championship."

"DWG was his favorite player, but unfortunately it no longer exists." Luo Sen asked, "What's the current situation of Canyon and Showmaker?"

Chovy replied: "Canyon's form has declined a lot compared to last year. Of course, he is still a very good jungler. For someone like him, not winning the championship is an unforgivable sin."

"So, if DK still doesn't get any results today, he will probably lose his last bit of patience."

Yu Wenbo said, "Zhixun, look at others, are you ashamed? You haven't won a championship in such a long time."

Chovy was anxious: "Isn't it because of Gege? Gege always stops me."

Yu Wenbo raised his eyebrows: "Is it really because of DYG? You guys can't beat T1 every time you meet them in the World Championship. Don't you look for your own reasons?"

Chovy was speechless for a moment, after all, this was true.

Although they have been able to beat T1 in various ways in the league, they have been unable to beat T1 in the World Championship, and this has happened more than once or twice.

Luo Sen looked at Liu Qingsong and asked, "Songsong, what are your plans? Are you going to make a comeback next year?"

Liu Qingsong thought for a moment and replied, "I'll wait and see. If I want to make a comeback, I need a suitable team."

Yu Wenbo smiled: "You really want to make a comeback, it's written all over your face."

Liu Qingsong quickly said: "Let me make it clear that even if I want to make a comeback, I will not return to DYG. It's not for any other reason. I feel that I can't keep up with you. Your training intensity is high and your goals are too high."

Meiko laughed and said, "I'm just a jerk anyway."

Soon, the waiter brought the food and everyone ate and chatted.

Luo Sen asked again: "Zhixun, this time you GEN are the No. 1 seed of LCK again. Suppose, I mean suppose, you meet T in the knockout stage, can you win?"

When this was mentioned, Chovy became excited: "We can win, we can definitely win, this time it will definitely be different!"

"We spent a lot of time studying T1's play style during this league, studying them from head to toe. Now we have prepared at least five sets of tactics specifically for dealing with T1."

Yu Wenbo laughed: "Based on my experience, the more complicated it is, the worse the final effect will be."

"Just tell me, what is T1's weakness now? Which way can you break through and win stably?"

Chovy rolled his eyes and muttered, "How can I feel that you are trying to get information? This is the result of our hard research."

Yu Wenbo spread his hands and said, "It seems like there's no hope. You definitely won't be able to produce anything."

Chovy did not refute, but asked: "GeGe, what do you think of the teams this time? Which teams do you think are more difficult to deal with?"

Luo Sen replied: "From our DYG's perspective, T1 is definitely the most difficult to deal with."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, there are also you, GEN."

"Ah? Gege, you actually ranked our GEN behind T1?" Chovy heard it, Luo Sen still attached more importance to T1.

Theshy joked: "Because we have you as an insider, GEN is not a big problem."

“Hahaha…” Theshy said this and everyone laughed.

Meiko laughed and said: "Theshy either doesn't speak, or when he does, it's a classic."

Something even more outrageous happened. Nuguri said, "So, Chovy is really your insider?"

Seeing his serious look, everyone laughed again.

Yu Wenbo complained: "You two masters and apprentices are amazing."

After dinner, everyone went to the supermarket together to buy things, mainly daily necessities.

The next day, normal training began, starting with playing ranked games to get a feel for the game.

Redmi is also contacting other teams to see which teams have come, arrange training games, and develop training plans.

After three days, everyone in DYG switched from holiday to normal working status.

At the same time, LPL sent Rita and Luo Xin to interview DYG and asked some questions.

The most common ones are naturally opinions about other regions and other teams.

Luo Sen simply ranked the other teams, and the interview content was posted online that evening.

There have been a lot of discussions on this issue online, and Luo Sen’s views are naturally the most popular.

As soon as it was put up, it attracted a lot of attention.

[Holy crap, T1 and DYGS+? Why not GEN? ]

[Isn't GEN the champion of the LCK Summer Season? Why does it seem like Mr. Luo has always looked down on GEN? ]

[Is it possible? This is an objective ranking and has nothing to do with whether you respect it or not. 】

[Are GEN, BLG, and JDG a strong team? Are they all S? ]

[Forget about CJB like BLG. 】

Luo Sen ranked DYG and T1 as the highest S+. Of course, if displayed in a bar chart, although DYG and T1 are at the same level, DYG is slightly higher.

There are only three S-level teams, GEN, BLG and JDG.

BLG is even slightly higher than GEN, and JDG is slightly lower than GEN.

The A+ teams are LNG, KT, and DK.

LNG is the highest, followed by KT and DK.

Luo Sen did not rank among other teams. It was meaningless as they might not even make it to the quarterfinals.

In this way, LCK has one S+, two Ss, and one A+.

LCK has one S+, one S, and two A+.

The most important thing is that among teams of the same level, LPL is slightly stronger than LCK.

According to Luo Sen's algorithm, in terms of overall strength, LPL is much stronger than LCK.

Therefore, these contents were quickly reposted on the Internet and caused an uproar in the LCK region.

[LPL is too inflated this year, especially DYG! ]

[I don't believe DYG can keep up their form. SKT's peak can only last for two years. Can they be stronger than SKT's peak? ]

[GEN and T1 must defend their glory this year! We can’t lose to them every time. 】

[In fact, as long as DYG is dealt with, there is nothing to be afraid of in the LPL region. 】

About twenty days later, the qualifying round began!

This time, LCK's fourth seed DK needs to participate in the qualifying round.

DK naturally chopped down the opponents like crazy in the qualifying round.

The group stage advance ceremony also began.

However, the competition system has changed this time, and the Swiss round will start from the main competition.

The so-called Swiss rounds are arranged multiple times through a points system to prevent high-level opponents from meeting and being eliminated too early.

Every team has multiple chances and will not be eliminated directly just because they lose a game.

Of course, the winner takes all. The team that can maintain a good winning streak from the beginning of the Swiss round can advance earlier than other teams and play fewer games.

The first round of draws is completely random, and the subsequent draws are based on points, with teams of similar levels drawn together.

The first round of draws began on the night the knockout rounds ended.

There are a total of sixteen teams entering the Swiss round.

First, draw eight teams and determine the order on the left side of the match chart.

They are GEN, NRG, G2, BLG, T1, C9, DYG and FNC.

Then there are the eight teams on the right: GAM, LNG, DK, BDS, TL, MAD, KT, and JDG.

In this way, DYG’s first round opponent is KT!

After the opponent was determined, DYG began to study KT, studying all of their playoff games and determining tactics.

Four days passed quickly and the Swiss round began!

Since it is in LCK, the first game of the opening match naturally needs to be participated by LCK teams.

DYG vs. KT!

At the competition site, in the DYG lounge, everyone in DYG is waiting for the competition to begin. (End of this chapter)
