Chapter 376 MSC Attacks
The two watched the sunrise and returned to the camp hand in hand. Han Shuyan began to prepare breakfast.
Lin Cheng, who had just taken advantage of the situation, naturally did not slack off. He actively helped prepare breakfast, running up and down with a look of enthusiasm.
After everyone got up and had breakfast, Lin Cheng took out the folding bicycle in the car and played with Eun-hee.
The three women sat on the mats reading and chatting, and the little girl's exclamations and laughter came from time to time. It was a happy scene.
In the afternoon, Lin Cheng drove the RV back to Seoul with everyone. This short and warm journey was destined to leave a mark in his heart.
For a period of time afterwards, Lin Cheng spent every day at home with the little girl, occasionally playing ranked games to keep his hand feeling, and by the way, he read the funny comments of silly netizens on the Internet.
Originally, Park Ji-yeon was going to find Lin Cheng to date in person, but it was said that she had a temporary schedule and stood up Lin Cheng, which made Lin Cheng issue a terrifying threat: he would never be a game actor for her again.
In mid-May, Riot finally confirmed the specific rules of the new event after studying it behind closed doors for a while.
The new event is the League of Legends Mid-Season Cup, abbreviated as MSC.
Although it is used to replace MSI, due to technical reasons, it is impossible for the champion teams of all regions around the world to compete through online competitions, so only teams from the LPL and LCK regions participate in the MSC event.
After all, they are the two regions with the most attention, and Riot's move also guarantees online ratings.
Moreover, many European and American audiences will watch the match between LPL and LCK, but few Asian audiences will pay attention to the battle between Europe and the United States.
There are a total of eight participating teams in MSC, and the top four teams in the two regions have obtained the invitation qualification for this event.
The four participating teams of LPL are: JDG, TES, FPX, IG.
The four participating teams of LCK are: KT, T1, Gen G, DRX.
The competition will officially start on May 28, which is seamlessly connected with the summer season starting in June. It is naturally a feast for the eyes for the audience, and it is also a good thing for the eight participating teams, which is equivalent to having the opportunity to train for the summer season in advance.
Of course, not all players are willing to participate in this event.
There are players from participating teams in the lpl team who said they don't want to participate. It's hard to have a longer vacation time, but they have to play a thankless online game.
After all, the composition of the lpl audience is complex, with all kinds of undercovers playing the role of the grumpy old man and the yin-yang man. If you don't play well, you don't even know whether the person who criticizes you is a human or a ghost.
It's better for some players to play less under such pressure.
If I have this time, wouldn't it be nice to play Landlord?
Last year, Liu Qingsong played in the All-Star Game and was criticized by the audience because he was too happy.
The audience doesn't care what the game is. Even if you win, they can find an angle to criticize you, and if you lose, the rhythm is even more explosive.
As for Lin Cheng, he is looking forward to this event. It is also a good thing to have the opportunity to compete with teams from other regions. In a sense, this is the first international event in his career, although it is only an online game.
It is precisely because it is an online game that Riot will use third-party tools to control the delay between the two sides within the standard range of 30 to 40ms for the fairness of the game.
This has no impact on other players, but it will still have some impact on Lin Cheng. He often reacts in extreme situations, and Riot's move may make some of his operations beyond the limit.
Just like he used to dodge the knock-up at the moment when the excavator flashed, it was very easy to do with a slightly higher delay.
Of course, overall, it still has little impact. After all, relying on extreme reactions to play games every day can only mean that there is something wrong with his other aspects.
Because it is a window period for the event, Riot officials naturally attracted a lot of attention after announcing the start date of the MSC.
Before the game starts, everyone's favorite thing to do is naturally to predict the combat power of each team.
According to common sense, FPX, as the champion of last year's world championship, will definitely be the most favored team if it can continue to dominate in the LPL this spring.
But the performance of the Little Phoenix this spring is really disappointing, so naturally no one regards them as the favorites to win the MSC this time.
& In the forum netizens' vote, there are two favorites to win the MSC this time, namely the LCK champion KT and the LPL runner-up TES.
KT dominated LCK in the second half of the spring season, so it makes sense that such a team is highly regarded.
However, TES is still regarded as a team in the same echelon as KT even though it only won the runner-up of LPL. It is a bit unexpected that more people are optimistic about them than the champion team of LPL, JDG.
In fact, TES did play better and better in the second half of the spring season. It gave people the feeling that they were a strong team that was very good at attacking. They often established advantages in the early stage and ended the game quickly. Even the games they lost always gave people the feeling that they had a chance to win.
Lin Cheng also watched the finals of LPL. TES players have good laning ability, and there is a reason why Karsa is known as the world's number one jungler in the first fifteen minutes. The rhythm in the early stage is very good, which often allows TES to establish an advantage.
In fact, JD.com was at a disadvantage in the early stage of the LPL finals many times, and they recovered through team fights.
For the audience, it seemed that TES did lose a bit regretfully.
You should know that jackeylove joined the team only after April. The team can become stronger after running-in.
In Lin Cheng's opinion, this TES is indeed very strong in the early stage, and the players have good laning ability.
369 dice will not become a breakthrough point when there is no problem. Left hand has been in great form recently and is regarded by most people as the "world's No. 1 mid laner". A Shui's style allows him to snowball quickly when he has an advantage in the bottom lane.
However, although the early online game was good, TES still had some problems in the handling of the mid-to-late stage and the selection of positions in team battles.
In particular, A Shui's aggressive style did not change at all after leaving the laning stage, which was exactly the same as the sudden death mode of the pilot at the beginning. There were really many games that were ruined inexplicably.
In addition to AD, the other positions also have their own small problems.
If they can solve them well, they will be a super strong team.
If they can't solve them well, they will be nervous knives, and often give you a backstab when you look up to them and have high hopes.
Of course, the perfect team may not exist at all.
In fact, KT now has a variety of small problems. What they need to do is to try to prevent the opponent from catching their weaknesses and magnify their advantages to crush the opponent.
Just like Lin Cheng also knows that he will occasionally get lost in the mid-term, the opponent suddenly catches him when he is lost, which may be a big rhythm.
However, Lin Cheng's advantage is his strong online ability in the early stage.
When his early advantage is so big that he is about to take the lead, the opponent may be killed by him if he catches him.
At this time, even if the weakness is exposed to the opponent, it may not become a flaw.
