Chapter 357 Competition in the competition area
Ah P was very happy.
The time difference between Europe and the United States is five hours. Because e-sports players have a common characteristic of being out at night and out at night, Ah P and their teammates were surprised to find that they did not need to adjust their time difference after coming to the United States!
Since there was no need to make changes in the biological clock, Ah P and other members of the G2 team could not stand the loneliness, so they immediately started their own game mode and wandered around San Francisco.
It was a coincidence today that when they returned to the hotel after a long day of wandering, they happened to meet the coach of the champion and runner-up in the LPL division. Naturally, Ah P and others would not miss this opportunity and immediately came forward to chat.
Needless to say, when Ah P first entered the professional arena, it was the era when the XG team ruled the entire world. Naturally, he had an unusually high regard for Jiang Bufan, the head coach of the XG team!
What's more, the fat guy standing next to Jiang Bufan also knows Jin Zaiyuan, the biggest dark horse in the LPL division this year, the coach of the LTG team!
After expressing his admiration to the two League of Legends gold medal coaches in front of him, Ah P immediately asked with hope: "Jiang Shen, Coach Jin, can we have the opportunity to have a training match with you?
?”
"Training match?"
Jiang Bufan and Coach Jin looked at each other, then both laughed. Jiang Bufan asked with interest: "Are you sure?"
Ah P immediately became excited: "Of course? Being able to play against the world's top team like you is equivalent to facing off against this year's World Championship champions. How could we, as a professional League of Legends team, miss this opportunity?"
Woolen cloth?!"
The teammates around Ah P also nodded, and Ah P’s words were unanimously recognized by his teammates.
"That's right! Jiang Shen! If you have time!"
"Coach Jin, our team's top laner Yi Kepaite said he can beat WZW with one hand!"
Coach Jin was speechless: Your European and American provocation methods are too low-level, right? Can you beat the king player with one hand? What kind of magic is this?
But after all, he was in a foreign country, and Coach Jin was already in his late 30s and early 40s. Naturally, he would not care too much about the young men in their early twenties, so he simply said: "There is no problem in training.
, Let’s do this! Tomorrow…”
Jiang Bufan took over and said: "Tomorrow you call all your European division teams and we have a division match!"
"District competition?"
"tomorrow?"
"LCS EU vs. LPL?!"
As soon as Jiang Bufan said these words, not only Ah P and the others were stunned, but even Coach Jin didn't react!
"That `s a deal!"
Jiang Bufan smiled and patted Ah P on the shoulder, then pulled Coach Jin and left quickly, leaving only Ah P and the others looking at each other in disbelief.
"Hey! Director Jiang! The group stage is about to start. At this point in time, you..."
"Don't you think it's interesting?" Jiang Bufan said while fiddling with his mobile phone. "If it weren't for the upcoming World Championships, there wouldn't be so many teams from all over the world gathering in the same place? Don't you think this is
A great opportunity?"
"But if you organize the competition privately at this point in time, wouldn't you be at odds with Riot Games, the organizer of the World Championship?" Coach Jin said quickly, "They spent so much money on the World Championship, and the popularity it finally generated has been lost.
You casually took part of it, isn’t this giving Riot Games eye drops?!”
"It doesn't matter!" Jiang Bufan raised his phone. There was a message reply with the two letters OK written on it, "Fist has agreed!"
"ah?!"
Coach Jin was stunned!
………………
In just a few dozen minutes, the news spread like wildfire that the LCS EU division and the LPL division would have a divisional confrontation the day before the opening of the World Championship!
Riding on the popularity of the World Championship, for a while, the screen on Twitter was full of news about EU VS LPL on reddit!
This is different from previous World Championships, where four regions around the world compete for one trophy, but a naked competition between regions!
All of a sudden, both the EU and LPL divisions are abuzz!
Fans of various teams in the original competition area immediately united together. At this moment, whether you are a ten-year-old fan of FNC or a loyal believer of G2, they are all firmly united under the banner of EU, uniting to the outside world.
The battle line is formed immediately!
The EU region is a region that is keen on reorganization.
As soon as this news came out, the hosts of the EU division were the first to leave. They rushed out a RAP MV to directly attack the LPL division, claiming that they would give the nostrils to the LPL division before the World Championship!
As soon as this MV came out, fans in the LPL region immediately laughed out loud!
There is no other reason. In this era, EU and NA are typical European and American competitions. Their best results in the quarterfinals for two consecutive years have caused viewers from other competitions to classify these two competitions as complete garbage.
Classification, the EU division, which is now one of the two countries in Europe and the United States, dares to take the initiative to challenge the world's number one division, LPL...
Isn't this a typical case of lighting a lamp in the toilet and seeking death?
Riot Games was surprised when Jiang Bufan's idea of a regional competition suddenly caused such a stir on the Internet!
Their original idea for agreeing to this competition between divisions was that the teams from the two divisions would hold a "villa training match" in the hotel they arranged. At most, they would send a few photographers to follow the whole process, and then broadcast it on the live broadcast platform.
The group stage that started the next day was just a warm-up, but who would have thought that the topic of the competition in this region would instantly overwhelm the group stage of the World Championship that would be held the next day!
This allows Riot Games as a whole to pay more attention to the competition in this division!
"I think our two world-class competitions every year are indeed a bit short! An MSI after the spring split and an S tournament after the summer split can no longer satisfy the audience given the popularity of our League of Legends. I propose that next year
Officially adding a new event! Division competition!"
Agreste, who has been promoted to management, said this at an emergency meeting of Riot Games’ top management.
“It sure works!”
"I agree!"
"Me too!"
Agreste's proposal was approved by everyone.
"Jiang is still such a genius and creative!"
"That's right! He always has these weird ideas!"
"Then...how should we arrange the competition for tomorrow's competition?!"
"How about using our group stage venue in advance?"
"live?"
Chapter completed!
