I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 124-All-Star Game Opening

LGD club.

Wei Zhen looked at the increasingly deserted training room, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Acorn and Flame have already returned to South Korea, and Taobao Quan also did not return home overnight.

Pupu still maintains an extremely disciplined life of going to and from work.

From his debut to now, he has played in many games.

There were also quite a few failed games.

He has lost in the City Championship, LSPL, and LPL.

A year ago, because Styz Qu Ziliang was banned, he became the core of the team for the first time.

This year, he completely broke out.

Although they lost the Spring Finals, that was not his problem.

If Deft hadn't been lucky enough to kill Imp with a critical hit, he would have been the one to participate in MSI.

When he first faced the S4 champion Pawn, he thought it was just so-so.

Wu Tian fought against Buddha, and he used his own strength to prove that the domestic mid laner is capable of competing with the world champion mid laner.

Compared to Pawn, it was IG's mid laner Rookie who posed greater threat and pressure to him.

After winning the summer season, we thought they would be able to show their prowess in the world championship.

The training match with Flash Wolves made them realize the importance of top lane in advance.

Firefox's tactical analysis and BP gave them a way to restrain Iron Man.

Although there were some twists and turns in the group stage, qualifying with the first place result did not disgrace the status of the LPL's number one seed.

But facing KOO, he felt powerless.

The combination of Pray and Groilla is stronger than Imp and Hirano Aya, and the top laner Smeb completely suppressed Brother A and the Princess.

And when he faced Kuro, he was powerless.

BP, tactics, playing style, strength, all are restricted.

He was unable to lead the team to win the game even with Diana and Yasuo, his best characters.

So much so that Varus's arrow in the opposite direction didn't seem that important.

"It is my fault……"

Wei Zhen lowered his head, feeling depressed.

Although he looks mature, he is just an 18-year-old boy.

He thought that there was no rival in the world and no one was more talented than him.

But his experience in the World Championship clearly told him that there were many people better than him, and he was not very special.

"Ding Dong"

The WeChat notification sounded, and when Wei Shen clicked it, he was stunned for a moment, then he took a deep breath, and his eyes lit up again.

There was only one line of text on the phone screen.

"Ah Wei, we need a mid-lane carry, can you come?"

Note: Yuan Shen.

……

"Ah Wei, puff puff, it's time to eat!"

At the LGD base, Chen Bo yawned and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time.

"Why are you still sleeping...huh?"

Pushing open the door, Chen Bo froze in shock as he looked at the neatly folded quilt and the clean dormitory.

There was a note on Wei Zhen's desk.

There are two lines of words written on it.

"We're going to look for A Yuan. Do you want to come with us, Brother Bo?"

"Please call me the No. 1 mid laner in CPL from now on!"

"These guys..."

Hirano Aya took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

He joined LGD in 2012, and he is very familiar with every tree and blade of grass here and has feelings for them.

Going to Flash Wolves is indeed a very tempting choice.

but……

He is tired.

"Come on next year."

After sending blessing messages to Wei Zhen and Imp respectively, Hirano Aya folded the notes on the table and put them away.

Then, he closed the door.

It was as if he had never been here.

……

"The S6 meta trend is unclear at the moment, but mid and jungle must not be too weak."

Char Siu held the tactical analysis board in his hand and spoke eloquently.

"The jungler and support are strong, and this is just the first level."

"Assuming that the jungler always stays in the bottom lane to protect the ADC's development, then there will be a situation where the support does not roam frequently, but the affinity rate between the jungler and the support is very high. This style of play is suitable for teams with a strong bottom lane. The top laner can choose Titan, Poppy, and Maokai to resist pressure."

"In the second case, when the opponent chooses a tank top laner, I can choose some powerful late-game top laners."

"But Sword Princess has been weakened."

"It's not Fiora. Although Fiora is very useful against tanks and can also be used for 4-1 split push in the late game, this version requires a certain margin for error. I think the top tank Ekko is very good. In addition to Ekko, there are several other heroes."

Char Siu paused before speaking.

"Heroes like Scavenger, Ryze, the revamped Corki, and the buffed Viktor... These heroes are all late-game cores, and tanks can barely threaten them during the laning phase. Furthermore, Scavenger and Viktor can build semi-tank items, and with their ultimates, their damage isn't much different."

Char Siu took out the data provided by the analysts from behind him and distributed it to everyone.

"The new season is different from S5, so we must take it seriously."

Char Siu's expression was unusually serious.

In the past, they participated in the competition as challengers, but now, Flash Wolves has become the new generation of kings.

Receiving the highest honor in the e-sports circle is not only a reward for them, but also a responsibility.

The higher you stand, the less you dare to lose.

S5 is a top lane version. Even if other lanes are at a disadvantage, the top lane alone can carry the game.

Any hidden shortcomings within the team are masked by absolute strength and version enhancement.

But it’s not possible now. The importance of each lane, including mid lane, bottom lane, jungler, and support, has been greatly improved.

Even in this version where top lane is king, Yuan Shen cannot do without the help of his teammates.

Spider, Shen, Card, Annie, Lulu, Tam...

There are heroes in every position that can enhance the top laner's ability.

"In short, we have to accept this meta change again. We shouldn't be complacent just because we won the championship before. We need to practice the heroes in the meta and master the tactical system. Our core top lane tactics are already very proficient, but in the current meta, opponents can easily choose heroes like Poppy, Titan, and Treant to deal with them. It feels like we've returned to the days of blue-collar top laners dominating the game. It's much more difficult to establish the same advantage we once had."

Karsa touched his chin. There were many changes to the jungle position in this preseason.

Control of the Rift Herald, hunter potions, mage jungle heroes, and the launch of the new hero Kindred.

The emergence of the green jungle knife avoids the embarrassing situation that junglers needed to make eye stones in the past. It can also be regarded as an enhancement, especially for heroes like Lee Sin.

"I have studied the hero Kindred. Her marks of different levels will appear on different wild monsters when they are refreshed. If you can master this rule, you can control the marks. The specific method is to have only one group of wild monsters that meet the rules when the mark is about to refresh."

Karsa added.

Although I can't remember the rules of controlling the mark clearly, these basic things can be figured out with more practice.

"Yes, there are a lot of changes to the heroes. You should study them more."

Char Siu pinched his eyebrows, changed the male gun into a shotgun, and added a bullet replacement setting.

These version changes require the Flash Wolves to slowly accept them.

"The S5 World Championship meta was like this. Teams with weak top laners were instantly defeated against us. This is the consequence of not adapting to the meta. Therefore, we must grasp the trends of the meta and be ready to adapt to changes in the World Championship meta at any time. Speaking of which, I feel that mid laners like GODV are still a bit unstable."

Char Siu looked at Yuan Shen.

He was a little worried that Wei Shen would become someone like Wu Zhuang.

While relationships are often mentioned as a win-win, money can be a powerful asset. Fame, benefits, and fans are all things that no one can resist. The degree of team resources allocated to a team further influences who will be the most successful player on the field.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Yuan Shen shrugged and continued, "To win the championship, everyone has to be prepared to sacrifice themselves, and I'm no exception. The new version of Poppy is very strong, especially against heroes with displacement skills like Fiora and Riven. Her ultimate skill is also very strategic in team fights. I will practice it."

"I can also train Leopard Girl."

Karsa raised his hand and said.

"No way, Haoxuan, do you still need to practice your Leopard Girl? Is the power of time so difficult to master? Call me brother, I will teach you."

"Wow! Do you know how annoying you are like this?"

Karsa said unhappily.

"If it's the All-Star Game, Wei should be participating, right?"

Zhou Luxi looked over. He didn't pay much attention to the LPL voting results as he had been busy with the transfer period recently.

After the All-Star Game, he will fly to Huanggang, Hubei.

JackeyLove's voice sounds very mature, I didn't expect that he is a post-00s...

"No, Pawn won't go either. He needs to heal his back injury. I'm going to try to get first place in the Korean server."

The Flash Wolves suddenly turned around.

At the door of the training room, who else could it be but Wei Zhen?

"Ah Wei?! How did you get here so quickly?"

"Damn it, didn't you tell us you were coming to Taichung?"

Yuan Shen and Karsa greeted them with surprise on their faces.

"I came straight here after receiving your message. How's it going? Can you still keep the mid lane position for me?"

Wei Zhen squinted his eyes and smiled happily.

"I'll keep you, but you'll have to try out first. Who knows if you still have the same strength as before? Are you going to drink with Pu Pu to drown your sorrows?"

After Yuan Shen finished speaking, a familiar voice was heard outside the door again.

"Guys, come and help me! Xing Li is too heavy!"

"no……"

Yuan Shen was stunned for a moment and quickly walked out.

"You even brought Poo-Poo here?? Holy crap!"

"Pfft, I've been waiting for you for a long time!!"

"Next year, let's go for it together!"

……

The All-Star Game will be held in Los Angeles, North America.

In early December, the contestants in each major competition area were also determined.

The North American LCS lineup is top laner: Dyrus, jungler: Hai, mid laner: Bjergsen, ADC: Doublelift, support: Aphromoo.

The European LCS lineup is top lane: Huni, jungle: Amazing, mid lane: xPeke, ADC: Rekkles, support: KaSing.

LCK's lineup is top lane: Duke, jungle: Bengi, mid lane: Faker, ADC: PraY, support: Madlife.

The LPL lineup is: Top: Koro1, Jungle: ClearLove, Mid: Rookie, ADC: Uzi, Support: PYL
Many foreign audiences are also very familiar with the LMS region's lineup.

Top laner: Yuanshen, Jungle: Karsa, Mid laner: WestDoor, ADC: Bebe, Support: SwordArt.

Except for Bebe who was the ADC of Assassin Star, the other four players left a deep impression on them at the World Championship.

The day before the All-Star Game, Yuan Shen took the initiative to create a WeChat group and invited all his teammates to join.

The All-Star event hosted by Riot is more entertaining and not as serious as the main competition.

In the competition between the two regions, in the end, the teams from LMS and LPL stood out and made it to the end.

After eliminating the LCK All-Star team 2-1 in the semifinals, the LMS team officially faced the LPL All-Star team.

"I haven't played against LPL opponents in the main tournament yet."

Yuan Shen is very much looking forward to it.

The All-Star Game was their last time representing the LMS region.

The same goes for LPL.

After the All-Star Game, they were a family.

12 month 15 day.

The last day of the All-Star Game and the finals begin!

"Hello everyone, I am Doll."

"Hello everyone, my name is Zeyuan."

"Hi, my name is Miller."

In the LPL commentary booth, the three major commentators from LPL are greeting the audience.

Commentators from several other regions were also greeting at the same time.

"Today is the final day of the S5 All-Star Game. After two days of fierce competition, the LMS and LPL teams have reached the final!"

"Oh, that's right, the two teams from the Chinese region have successfully joined forces!" Wawa said with a smile.

There are six regions and a total of thirty contestants.

But in the end, it was LMS and LPL that came to the end.

It is no exaggeration to say that this year has been the most successful year for Chinese e-sports.

They won the MSI championship, the S championship, and the All-Star Game.

Could it be more successful than this?

Although the All-Star Game is mainly about entertainment, pranks, and skills, no one wants to lose.

Everyone is doing their best.

"Speaking of which, yesterday's solo match was really exciting. Yuanshen's strength was truly terrifying."

Miller was still full of emotion when he talked about it. In yesterday's Solo competition, the two teams each sent a number of players to participate in the competition, competing for the title of Solo King through an elimination tournament.

But unexpectedly, Faker was eliminated in the first round.

Facing his own region's support Madlife, Faker started to slack off in the first round of the Solo match.

Instead, it was Yuan Shen who made it to the end.

Whether it is the crocodile or the weapon, they all show off to the fullest and every frame is a classic.

He eventually defeated his senior Doublelift and won the Solo Championship.

The final day's competition is a BO3 showdown between the most core teams.

The final match of the 2015 All-Star Game, a Chinese civil war showdown!
A clash of top forces from the two major regions, LPL and LMS.

This BO3 match is also considered by many to be a competition to see who will dominate after the merger of the regions.

After all, apart from Flash Wolves and AHQ, the strength of other teams in the LMS region is indeed a bit weak.

Even the teams that made it to the playoffs were only mid-level in the LPL.

On the stage, the Poro battle had just ended, and Riot presented a warm-up show to pave the way for the final peak showdown.

Full of anticipation.

The audience were all waiting anxiously.

Although it is just for fun and entertainment, no fan wants to see their own region lose.

Especially the LPL audience.

After losing the World Championship and Flash Wolves winning the championship, coupled with the news of the regional merger, many players with provincial team IPs were arrogant in the live broadcast room.

Mainland audiences feel uncomfortable when facing these people.

After all, LPL's performance is not as good as LMS, so what it says is not tough at all.

I have no confidence!

But this cannot be blamed on others, it's because our own team is not doing well.

Now we can only hope that LPL wins this All-Star Game.

Let our Taiwanese compatriots see who is the real number one division!
