Alliance: If you block my contract, I will just start!

Due to the influence of the Asian Games, the LPL Summer Season ended very late.

The summer season just ended in mid-September and the global finals began on October 1st, so the three qualifying teams did not have much time to adjust.

Fortunately, EDG and IG were able to advance directly to the group stage, so they have relatively more time to prepare than RNG, which needs to play in the qualifying round.

But even so, after winning the summer season, Abu only gave the players two days off and then entered into intensive preparations.

The other EDG players have no objection to this. Not only the manager wants the team to achieve better results, but all players with a little bit of dreams hope that they can win better honors on the field.

In the past, it seemed that there was no hope, but now with the big star Shen Lang in the team, the other players’ originally dead hearts have become lively again.

Shen Lang's diss comments about his teammates in the post-match interview were just a joke, but what he said was not completely unreasonable. The other players in EDG were not as bad as he said, but their performance in the finals was indeed not that impressive.

Everyone else is well aware of this, so they want to improve themselves as much as possible before the World Championship begins to ensure that EDG will not fail in the World Championship due to their own reasons.

Only Shen Lang had strong opinions about Abu's decision.

"I've fought so hard for EDG for so long, can't I just enjoy myself?"

Abu frowned after hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh again:

"This talented player of ours is good in every way, but he just wants to be lazy all the time and never trains well."

Shen Lang felt very wronged about this.

If it weren’t for the system rewards, who wouldn’t be a hard-working baby?

During the training after the holiday, Shen Lang would escape if he could. If he couldn't avoid it, he would play ARAM or play duo with the factory manager.

As for why you don't just play solo.

Shen Lang really cared about his own scores. If he played around, he would lose points, which made him feel sad. But if he lost points with the factory director, he suddenly felt much better for some reason.

Abu is miserable about Shen Lang who is always thinking about being lazy. He is really worried that the story of Shang Zhongyong will happen to his talented player.

It's not just Abu who feels bad, IG's coach and manager also feel bad.

EDG's performance in the summer finals successfully refreshed the perception of IG players. After the game, EDG naturally became the strongest opponent in the world championship in their hearts.

So after the game, Su Xiaoluo kept making appointments for training matches with EDG, wanting to study his team's strongest opponent carefully before the start of the World Championship.

During the first appointment, Abu said that Shen Lang was not feeling well and asked Ray to play the training match in his place.

During the second appointment, Abu said that Shen Lang was catching up on his live broadcast time and had no time to play training games, so he asked Ray to take his place.

During the third appointment, Shen Lang asked for leave for something.

……

This happened again and again, and Su Xiaoluo suddenly felt that Abu was not sincere.

IG's strength is not bad either, and EDG doesn't have any good opponents for training matches right now. They will definitely not be at a disadvantage in training matches with IG. And according to past practice, everyone has to face the outside world in the World Championships.

The group stage hasn't even started yet and you, EDG, are already hiding things. What does that mean?

Fortunately, after learning more about it, Su Xiaoluo discovered that what Abu said was actually true.

Not to mention training matches, Shen Lang didn't even play much in the usual Rank matches. It wasn't that Abu was hiding it from Shen Lang, but that Shen Lang himself didn't want to play training matches.

Su Xiaoluo was speechless about this and even threatened that if Shen Lang was an IG player, he would be fired the next day.

Fortunately, Wang Sicong didn’t know what he said, otherwise he would have been even more speechless.

Dude, why are you pestering a player that even Ed Zhu can't buy? Do you expect him to pack up and leave after joining IG?

Not only IG and EDG were affected by Shen Lang, but RNG, the last of the three qualifying teams, was not spared.

While his teammates were playing a training match, Shen Lang was playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

This game is boring to play alone, so Shen Lang always calls others before playing.

Abu gave a strict order. The EDG players would definitely not play with him, and he was not very familiar with the players from other teams. After thinking it over, he could only call the RNG players.

Shen Lang plays PUBG with RNG players every day. Although it is during their rest time, it does have some impact on the players' condition. How can the manager not be anxious and angry?

The news of Shen Lang's poor performance in the training match was soon posted online. In fact, it was not difficult to detect. He broadcast live every day playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds with RNG players, and IG players also complained during the live broadcast that Shen Lang was not in the training match with EDG.

This incident quickly aroused heated discussion among netizens.

What everyone wants to see is that before the World Championship begins, the three teams that are qualified to compete in the World Championship help each other, and then when everyone advances to the knockout stage, they will decide the winner.

However, due to Shen Lang's influence, the three teams' pre-match training seemed to be not very good.

"Brother Weiwu, are you going to destroy Chinese e-sports?"

Some people directly criticized him in the forum, and some even said that he was a troublemaker in LPL.

"Brother Weiwu is still a little young after all. He doesn't know who he is after achieving a few achievements. People who don't know him would think that EDG won the S8 championship directly."

"How can anyone compare Weiwu Ge and Faker? Faker has won three championships but still remains humble, while someone is so arrogant after only winning the summer championship."

"Let me put this out there. EDG didn't even make it to the quarterfinals this year."

"Can't Weiwu just let himself be bad? Why does he have to bring RNG players with him? The play-in round is about to begin. If RNG can't win the championship this year, it will be Weiwu's responsibility."

……

Shen Lang could never have imagined that everyone was praising him in the forum just a few days ago, but just a few days later, the situation suddenly changed.

"Look, everyone says you're a troublemaker. Can't you be a little more careful?"

Abu said earnestly.

Shen Lang's face was full of questions: "If I am a troublemaker, then what are the other LPL players? Shit?"

"you--"

Abu suddenly felt like he was having a heart attack.

"Alright, alright, it's just a training match. I'll play in the training match tonight."

Seeing that Abu was about to strike back, Shen Lang quickly changed his words.

No one knows how hard he works!

Who told him to have such a weird system? He couldn't make progress through normal training, and he could only become stronger by playing badly.

That night.

Su Xiaoluo made an appointment for the training match on time.

He feels like a bootlicker recently. He knows that even if he makes an appointment with EDG, Shen Lang will not be there, but he still goes on time every day.

"OK, Shen Lang will be there this time."

Looking at Abu's answer, Su Xiaoluo didn't react at first, but after seeing it clearly, he became excited instantly.

"Alas!!!"

"It's an appointment!!"

The players in the training room were all surprised. They had never seen their manager so excited before. Those who didn’t know would have thought Shen Lang was some big star.

"Play well in the training match tonight. This opportunity is hard to come by. Who knows when the next training match will be for Brother Weiwu."

Su Xiaoluo gave serious instructions.

……

Time passed and the agreed time soon arrived.

Neither side imposed any restrictions on the training match. Both IG and EDG players hoped that today's training match would be as intense as a formal match.

In the first game, EDG was on the blue side and IG was on the red side.

The main purpose is training, so neither side bans heroes, and all strong heroes are released.

EDG chooses Kaisa first.

IG then locked down the Xayah and Rakan combination.

EDG chose Alistar as support and Xin Zhao as jungler.

After the summer season finals, the factory manager's confidence soared. Now, whether in training games or rankings, he often chooses strong jungle heroes, and sometimes he can even pick Lee Sin.

What’s interesting is that IG rarely chooses strong junglers. The hero Ning used the most in previous training games was Zac, which completely confirmed his identity as the King of Zac.

Zac was still chosen in this game, and Rookie's favorite Jayce was picked in the middle lane. In this training game, IG wanted to try to set the early rhythm.

EDG chose Ryze for the mid laner. Ever since Shen Lang complained that his junior was an earthbound spirit in the post-match interview, Scout often picked roaming heroes like Ryze and Taliyah in training games, as if he wanted to prove something.

"Everyone has changed a lot during this period of time!"

Shen Lang sighed.

Abu behind him rolled his eyes and said, "You are talking nonsense. Everyone has been training very hard recently, but you are the only one doing nothing. I guess you haven't even opened the client recently. What changes do you want if you don't train?"

“But I don’t think I need to change.”

Shen Lang wanted to laugh.

"Forehead……"

Abu didn't know what to say.

Although this may not sound nice, it makes sense. As long as Shen Lang can maintain the form he achieved in the summer season finals, there is really no need for any changes.

Nofe couldn't stand listening any longer and interrupted quickly: "Which hero do you want to play in the top lane?"

"How about Vayne? Or Lucian? If that doesn't work, Skateboard Shoes will do..."

Shen Lang mentioned a lot of heroes.

The more Nofe listened, the angrier he became. How could this be the kind of hero a normal top laner should play?

"I'm talking about top lane! Not ADC!"

He stressed loudly.

Shen Lang turned his head and asked: "Coach, what are your requirements for the top lane?"

Nofe thought for a moment: "I want to suppress the opponent in the laning phase, and it would be best if I can carry the opponent in the later stages."

"That's right!"

Shen Lang slapped his thigh and said, "Just tell me whether the heroes I mentioned earlier can meet your requirements."

ADC has the advantage of long arms, and it is indeed easy to achieve a suppressive effect in the early stages. Shen Lang also used this type of hero in the playoffs, and his proficiency in the hero is also very high.

In this version, ADC does tend to be in the late game. If you develop well in the early game, you will definitely have the ability to carry the game in the late game.

Nofe took a deep breath and said, "Then let's choose skateboard shoes."

He was actually convinced by Shen Lang!

IG here.

Looking at the hero chosen by Shen Lang, Jin Jingzhu felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

He felt that Shen Lang was not playing seriously.

"Can skateboard shoes be used on the road? What's the use of dating a mighty brother? He doesn't play seriously and just messes around!"

Su Xiaoluo was also very upset, and even a little angry: "No matter what, we must win this training match. If Brother Weiwu doesn't want to play seriously, then we will beat him until he plays seriously!"

With IG finally locking onto Shen in the top lane, the first training match began soon.

It is still easy for Skateboard Shoes to beat Shen in the early stage, but if they cannot gain an advantage in the early stage, once Shen develops, Skateboard Shoes will be in a very difficult situation.

Therefore, you must defeat Shen in the early stage!

Enter Summoner's Rift, first sign a contract with Xin Zhao, buy Doran's Blade, and then go straight to the top lane.

When you get to the top lane, get stuck in the bushes first.

If you want to achieve a suppressive effect, you must handle it well at the beginning.

The troops came out quickly.

Theshy controlled Shen to go forward and finish off the enemy, but as soon as the distance was shortened, Shen Lang directly controlled Skateboard Shoes to go forward and launch a normal attack.

While attacking, Shen Lang used his passive to jump forward. In this game, the talent he chose was Lethal Tempo, which can grant a short high attack speed bonus after triggering it. Theshy did not fight hard, but quickly controlled Shen to turn around and walk towards the defensive tower.

But even so, when the two of them pulled away from each other, Skateboard Shoes still consumed a lot of blood. Even at the end, Shen Lang released the E skill to draw the spear, but the Shen soldier was not hit and disappeared with half of his blood.

"Oi, it hurts!"

Even Theshy, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but frown when looking at his own condition.

Shen Lang returned to the bushes and started to kill the soldiers.

The health of the melee soldier was quickly reduced. Theshy upgraded his W skill and wanted to force his way into the lane, but his idea was seen through by Shen Lang.

Before Shen came forward, Shen Lang first controlled Skateboard Shoes to cross the line of soldiers and move forward.

"Want to finish off the enemy? See if you have what it takes!"

"Don't eat it!"

Shen Lang said this while frantically launching normal attacks at the approaching Shen. Every time he launched a normal attack, he would mutter "Don't eat it" to himself.

When the distance was widened again, Theshy's Shen's health had become dangerous.

Although he still had supplies on him, he didn't dare to stay on the line any longer. With his low health, as long as Skateboard Shoes controlled the minion line, he wouldn't even be able to gain any experience.

Shen returns to the city to replenish his status, then TPs directly to the line.

Skateboard Shoes has reached level 2. Shen Lang did not continue to control the line, but kept attacking soldiers to push the line, while communicating with his teammates in the voice chat:

"Xin Zhao, come to the top lane quickly so you can kill Valiant by crossing the tower."

Upon hearing this, the factory manager did not hesitate at all. He did not even kill the three wolves and walked straight towards the blue buff, wanting to catch them quickly.

IG here.

Looking at the miserable state of Shen in the top lane, Kim Jeong-soo didn't know what to say.

You said Shen Lang is fun, he chose Skateboard Shoes as the top laner.

You said he didn't play well. He made it impossible for Theshy to play from the beginning.
