Chapter 2260 Friends
Because of EDG's announcement, the ID "Orange Brother is cold but his heart is warm" has aroused more heated discussions among netizens.
Then everyone started to make a fuss about Lin Cheng.
New registered ID accounts such as "I want to join KT Youth Training and eat the leftovers of Orange Brother's workplace" are emerging one after another.
Lin Cheng was dizzy and began to think about whether he should sue EDG.
Just because EDG issued a random announcement, his reputation was damaged. There is no reason why he can't sue EDG?
Retaining the right to hold EDG accountable, Lin Cheng also paid attention to the news of the upcoming World Championship.
This year's World Championship grouping was drawn after the LCS game on September 12. At that time, Lin Cheng was preparing for the Asian Games and didn't pay attention. He only remembered to study the grouping now.
As a result, he looked at the grouping information.
Coincidentally!
Very coincidental!
KT, as the No. 1 seed of LCK, was assigned to Group A in this World Championship, and the No. 3 seed of LPL, EDG, was also assigned to Group A.
Isn't this just a coincidence?
Enemies meet... No! It's old friends reuniting.
Lin Cheng is looking forward to meeting Abu again.
First, he kicks you out in a palace fight, and then he beats you up as an opponent.
Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.
Of course, Abu, as a management, may not necessarily lead the team to the United States, but Zhu Kai and Mao Kai will definitely not escape his reckoning.
It's a pity that being in the same group means that they will never meet again before the finals. In the double round-robin of the group stage, they can only beat EDG twice at most, unlike BO5, which can win three games.
What? The finals are waiting?
Lin Cheng can accumulate strength until the finals, but can EDG reach the finals this year?
The grouping of the group stage is as follows:
Group A: KT, CFO, EDG, TBD
Group B: C9, G2, T1, TBD
Group C: RGE, TES, GAM, TBD
Group D: JDG, GEN· G, 100T, TBD
TBD means to be determined, and there will be four teams that will make it from the qualifying round.
The situation of the qualifying round this year is quite special. Due to the absence of the CIS region, Riot announced early that the CIS region’s quota was given to the third region LEC, which resulted in two teams from LEC participating in the qualifying round.
That is, the third seed FNC and the fourth seed MAD.
If these two teams are both eliminated from the qualifying round, the fourth seed MAD in Europe will no longer be subject to the same group avoidance principle in the group stage.
However, according to the nature of EU, it is not surprising that the qualifying round will fail.
I’m talking about you! MAD!
EU's shame, creating a precedent for the four major regions to be eliminated in the qualifying rounds, this year the Madrid Lions will be drowned in the qualifying rounds again, and no one will be surprised.
Especially European fans, they have already prepared themselves mentally.
Because MAD's process of qualifying for the World Championship this year is too abstract.
LEC's competition system is relatively unique. The spring season points + the regular ranking of the summer season jointly determine the summer playoffs. The world championship team is directly determined from the six teams in the summer playoffs, and there is no so-called bubble match.
Regular season god MAD relied on the good second place in the summer regular season to get a high ranking, even if they lost right away. Falling into the loser group can also directly land in the third round of the loser group.
As a result, two teams ranked lower than MAD were eliminated in the first two rounds of the loser group.
So, MAD magically entered the World Championship.
Even if this team did not even make the playoffs in the spring and did not win a BO5 throughout the year.
Anyway, everyone was stunned.
LNG from LPL played 7 BO5s and unfortunately lost in the final bubble match, but MAD from Europe lost both BO5s throughout the year and made it to the World Championship.
Who can they complain to?
Anyway, European commentators and audiences are madly criticizing the unreasonableness of the EU competition system, mainly because MAD is the European version of the Civil War Phantom God, and EU audiences are worried that they will set a new low when they go to the World Championship.
Lin Cheng is not very concerned about the MAD team, but he is quite happy that RGE can win the LEC championship.
He specially sent his blessings to his old teammate Malrang and agreed to meet in the United States.
Lin Cheng is always grateful to his teammates in 0.
He is even a little lucky.
Meeting the old guys like Kuro and Tusin when he just debuted really taught him a lot.
He actually didn't think he could meet his teammates at the World Championship again, because except for Aiming, the old guys either went home to be salted fish or joined the army to pick up soap, and the rest went overseas to retire.
It just so happens that only Malrang, who was the substitute for Bono at the time, is still playing for a barely competitive team in Europe, and he made it this year.
However, it will be difficult for Malrang to break out of Group C with Rouge.
Because the fourth seed of LCK, DK, will inevitably be assigned to Group C after making it out of the qualifying round. Facing the pursuit and blockade of Top Esports and DK, the number one seed in Europe is likely to be bruised and battered.
After all, although DK did not perform well in LCK this year, it was only because they lost their command and made poor decisions in the late game. It was still easy for the combination of Xu Xiu + Canyon + Niu Bao to crush European teams.
As the Chinese team's double C in the Asian Games, the strength of the twin stars of Top Esports is beyond doubt, and there is also the champion jungler Xiaotian. As long as these guys don't make a big move, it won't be a problem for them to advance together with DK.
After studying the information of the World Championship, Lin Cheng found that the theme of this World Championship was probably Friends. He wanted to get together with Malrang, his teammates in the national team, and EDG.
Abu! You'd better not run away.
Wait for me in America!
At this time, Xiaoying suddenly stretched out her hand across the aisle and waved again and again beside Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng turned his head.
Xiaoying quickly turned around and sat down, kicking her short legs to avoid looking at him.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Cheng asked, and Xiaoying shyly spread her hands to him.
Under the white and tender palm, a small dark red blood scab is particularly conspicuous.
The abrasions on the girl's knees and palms have scabbed over, but the blood scab on the palm is hard and can be touched at any time. This girl always can't help wanting to touch it.
Lin Cheng pulled Xiaoying's hand and looked at it carefully, and gently touched it with his fingers.
"Xiaoying, does your hand still hurt?"
"Yeah!"
The little girl stretched out her little finger and compared, "Only a little bit."
"Then uncle will blow it for you, huh~~~ Does it still hurt like this?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Lin Cheng couldn't help laughing and reached out to touch Xiaoying's head.
This girl seems to be acting coquettishly with him?
Enxi was holding a piece of pizza in her hand and looking at the two of them eagerly. Lin Cheng waved at her, and the little girl threw the pizza on the table and rushed over.
Lin Cheng hugged Enxi and played cartoons for her on the tablet.
Xiaoying also came over shyly, but she only leaned on the sofa to prevent Lin Cheng from hugging her.
The three of them squeezed together to watch cartoons, with big heads next to small heads. The space was very crowded, but the style of painting was very loving.
Zheng Shiyan put down the magazine in her hand and couldn't help but smile.
Although Air China's planes do not have private cabins, the activities in the business class are relatively free. Except for reminding passengers to sit down, the maintenance staff generally do not interfere too much.
In fact, it is to align with international standards and cancel the name of first class. Air China's business class now includes the so-called first class in the past.
The big and two small watched cartoons for a while, and Xiaoying stretched out her hand to poke Lin Cheng's arm again.
Lin Cheng looked at her.
She stretched out her little hand again and showed him her palm.
Lin Cheng was amused and helpless, and lowered his head and gently blew the blood scab on her palm.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!"
"Our Xiaoying is awesome!"
Lin Cheng rubbed her little head.
Enxi raised her head and stared at her big black eyes, and Lin Cheng also rubbed her little head.
Looking at the two cute little faces, Lin Cheng's heart melted.
Of course, if it was their mother leaning against him like this...
Lin Cheng turned his head and glanced at Zheng Shiyan.
Just then, the elder sister looked up expressionlessly.
Lin Cheng quickly turned his head away guiltily.
It was too cruel!
