Even Redmi sent a few messages to express its envy.
He used to be a professional player and wanted to appear in the official MV once, but after S3 won the S3 World Championship ticket for the team that year, he gave up the starting position to looper, and then he gradually transformed into a coach. No chance.
Wechat messages on Lin Ran's phone kept popping up, from classmates, friends and relatives who had just watched the MV...everyone wanted to have a chat with him.
He didn't finish replying the message until a quarter of an hour before the plane landed in Busan.
They took a few group photos at Gimhae International Airport, and everyone in YM boarded the bus prepared for them by Riot.
It is still Wen Sen who is in charge of contacting the reception.
He was one step ahead of schedule and had already flown to South Korea after the end of the LPL bubbling match to help contact the hotel and plan the itinerary.
"Everyone has nothing to deal with after arriving at the hotel today." On the way, Wen Sen kept emphasizing the relevant matters to the staff of the YM competition training department. "On the 30th, the official will shoot a promotional video for the group stage, which will take up an entire afternoon... "
"When will the training room be available?" Guo Hao asked.
"You are the third team to arrive in Busan, and the training room will not be ready until tomorrow morning." Vincent replied truthfully.
A large number of Riot staff are now in Seoul, and the play-in competition will start in early October. This is the opening match of the S8 Global Finals. The staff are on the alert for fear of any problems.
As a result, there are not many Riot staff assigned to Busan, and the layout of the training room is a little slower.
"Jin Gong and Hongmi have already checked in at the hotel, and they are on the 15th floor just like you," Vincent glanced at the precautions, "It's the same as when going abroad for the competition, if you want to leave the hotel and act alone, you must tell me in advance And report to the manager of the training department, do you understand?"
It wasn't the first time for this group of people to participate in an international competition. They were clear about this aspect and nodded in agreement.
Lin Ran glanced at his phone, it was 11 o'clock in the middle of the night in Seoul time, and it was ten o'clock in Shanghai, his girlfriend thought he was still awake, so he sent Su Cheng a WeChat message to report his safety, and got a reply right away.
Su Cheng sighed a few words about the plot of the MV, and then she was about to take a bath and rest. Lin Ran didn't bother her, and focused on the street scene outside the bus.
Although Busan is not as prosperous as Seoul, it is also the second largest city in South Korea, and its nightlife is very developed.
Fried chicken shops and barbecue shops can be seen everywhere, and they are full of people. There are elderly Korean uncles on the side of the road. It is estimated that they have drunk a lot of alcohol, their faces are flushed, and they are even walking staggeringly.
Driving all the way from Gimhae International Airport to the hotel, you can gradually smell the unique humid atmosphere of the seaside.
"This is the first time you have come to Korea," the driver murmured in Korean, "Our Busan is very beautiful, have you heard of Haeundae?"
Lin Ran waited for Jiang Chenglu to finish the translation before replying, "I've heard that there is a movie with the same name."
The driver was very pleased to hear this. He was obviously proud of the cultural impact of the film industry in his country, and he still introduced them to the nearby food along the way.
"There is a cheese hot dog stick that is very famous. It has a crispy and refreshing skin, a rich and runny cheese, and a hot dog with delicious and tender meat... Hey Yigu, I must buy two after work." The driver said to himself Feeling hungry, I turned the steering wheel and drove the members of the YM competition training department to the coast.
Through the window, one can see the turbulence of the sea in the distance. The waves are smashed by the stones, and the white foam formed quickly subsides.
"Ahead is the hotel we're staying in," Wen Sen pointed out the direction for Lin Ran and others, and at the same time motioned them to look sideways, "Did you see this beach?"
"Huh?" Jack didn't react yet.
"The S4OGN Summer Finals, KTA vs SSB, was held on this beach," Vincent said, still feeling a little nostalgic, "It was such a grand occasion..."
"I guess if Lao Song comes here, he can miss the gold content of 2014OGN." Shiba Inu smiled tensely.
That was the most prosperous era of Korean League of Legends. Under the two-team competition system, dazzling new stars emerged one after another.
In addition to the three-star ten sons, there are broilers, kakao, ssumday, Marin, wolf stick combination, Hou Ye and others. Although these people's peak periods are different, looking back now, it is completely a melee of gods.
The bus stopped not far from the hotel, and the personnel from the YM training department got off the bus one by one to pick up the suitcases.
Hongmi and Jin Gong are still waiting for them in the hotel lobby.
After seeing each other for ten days, everyone chatted for a while before taking the elevator to the 15th floor.
The two South Korean teams, KT and AFs, arrived in Busan earlier than them.
The rest of GEN are still in Seoul to prepare for the finals.
Since it was not early, and the training room hadn't been set up yet, Redmi arranged to go back to rest directly.
Lin Ran swiped his card and opened the door to enter the room.
Xiaotian behind him let out an exclamation of wow.
"A sea view room!"
The hotel that Fist chose for them is in Haeundae, where you can see the endless sea when you open the curtains, next to the Chinese Consulate in Busan, the location is excellent.
Lin Ran didn't care about admiring the beautiful scenery, he took out all the things in the suitcase, and hurried to take a shower first.
After washing off the exhaustion, I dried my hair and adjusted the sleep mode of the air conditioner, and then lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 617: The Global Finals kick off!
When I woke up again, it was already the morning of the 28th.
Lin Ran glanced at his phone and found that there were still two hours before the meeting time stipulated by Redmi last night.
He wanted to sleep for another half an hour, and then get up and wash.
But when I closed my eyes, I felt that my body was getting hotter and hotter, and it didn't work to remove the quilt covering my body. When I turned over a little, my forehead started to sweat.
its not right.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Guan who was on the bed next to him was also awakened by the heat in a daze, and subconsciously muttered.
"The air conditioner is broken!" Lin Ran changed into a short-sleeved team uniform, turned over quickly and got out of bed.
"Ah?" Xiao Zhan put on his glasses and leaned half on the bed, his brain is still in a state of shutdown even though he didn't get enough sleep.
Lin Ran took a look at the air conditioner, and it was true that the cold air was no longer blowing. When he went out to check, he opened his mobile phone and WeChat to tell Wen Sen about the problem.
Just as he opened the door to leave, a man rushed out from the next room, complaining that the air conditioner was not working.
old acquaintance.
doublelift.
"Hey, I heard that you guys arrived in Busan last night...it's convenient because it's close," said the senior brother, who was muscular and definitely strong among professional players, "Damn it, we didn't enter the hotel until four o'clock in the morning today. After sleeping for five hours, I was woken up by the heat!"
He was obviously very dissatisfied.
"I still want to sleep again, but it's obvious that I don't have the chance now." Lin Ran went downstairs with him to find the hotel staff, and also had a breakfast by the way.
Going straight along the corridor, many doors were opened along the way.
Mr. Dai squinted his small eyes, and muttered in a low voice with a unique voice; the hair of the big quail was almost like a bird's nest, seeing Lin Ran and the elder brother going downstairs, he followed with a pair of slippers come up.
When I took the elevator to the lobby, I found that the counter was full of customers, and they were clamoring in various languages to solve the air-conditioning problem.
With the help of Mata's translation, Lin Ran understood the lobby manager's loud explanation, "We will solve it right away..."
He also gave a definite answer, "It can be fixed during the day today!"
After calming down for a while, the customer vented his grievances and knew that if he stayed here, the air conditioner would not be repaired in an instant, so he had to scatter away.
At this time, Suantou Wangba, Jack and others also came downstairs, and happened to have a face-to-face meeting with Lin Ran.
"This hotel is really bad," Xiaoyan was still very dissatisfied, "Look at the specifications hosted by us last year, and then look here..."
He thought the big quail couldn't understand Chinese.
In fact, I still know some simple Chinese communication terms, such as the word 'hotel'.
Combined with Xiaocheng's tone of voice, Mata can probably guess what Suan Touba is talking about.
His face turned red all of a sudden.
South Korea has a strong sense of honor and disgrace in this regard. The Busan hotel entertained foreign players like this, and Mata Chuan felt that his face was dull and he couldn't save face.
It can only be said that I am very upset in my heart, but I can't find any reason to refute.
He found an excuse casually and fled back to the room immediately.
The big brother called friends and called friends, and found a group of contestants, and went to the restaurant to eat something to fill their stomachs before talking.
He is very popular, and he is very popular in European and American circles. The FNC team members just arrived in Busan this morning, and they were also called by the big brother.
Caps, who looked exactly like Mr. Bean, approached Lin Ran as soon as they saw Lin Ran, and wanted to take a photo with a smile.
Lin Ran didn't refuse, Caps quickly handed the phone to bwipo, his top order.
Xiao Mao is short in stature, but his brain is very smart at first glance. Before Lin Ran could make a move, he gave a thumbs up to the camera.
Lin Ran originally wanted to change his posture, but seeing Xiaomao's appearance, he could only like it.
Satisfied, Caps took back the phone from his teammates, and casually said to Lin Ran, "Luka is not here today, otherwise the three of us can take a photo together."
Luka is the name of perkz, and Lin Ran has a good relationship with him.
"If G2 can't even qualify for the finals this year, it will be fun..." Xiaomao smirked twice, and began to hurt others while Ah P was away.
The state of G2 this summer is very mediocre. They only lost to FNC in the finals in the spring, and they also won a runner-up, but the weather turned hot, and the team suddenly went wrong.
With 12 wins and 6 losses, they only ranked No.4 in LCS.EU. They were swept out by the Rabbits [-]-[-] in the first game of the playoffs.
When Lin Ran saw the battle report, he still felt that it was outrageous, and suspected that someone in the G2 team had been canceled and lost.
Fortunately, in the G2 bubbling match, they caught up and beat the European snake first, then overturned Schalke 04, and successfully won the last World Championship ticket in the European division.
But not many people like them.
With G2's personality that likes to play snakes, maybe he will fall in the play-in round.
"Ran, can we make an appointment for a training match this afternoon?" The elder brother asked expectantly.
North America also knows that their level is not good enough, and if they continue to play internal training games on their own, they will only get better and better.
It is necessary to communicate more with other competition areas outside.
The East Asian LPL and LCK are currently recognized as the two strongest divisions.
But if you want to play a training match with them, you have to have a connection.
They are all acquaintances in a competition area, and three teams come to participate in the world competition, and practicing with each other can solve most of the needs of the training game.
If it doesn't work, China and South Korea can communicate and negotiate again, and the two competition areas can form a small group to digest all the training games internally.
After all, the LPL division had more linkages with the LCK during the spring and summer games. In addition, both divisions believed that China and South Korea were far ahead in strength, and were unwilling to train with lower-level European and American teams. Just for fun.
If you want to play a training match with the LCK, you have to have Korean aid or a Korean coach in the team. If you have a close relationship with Lara, maybe you can succeed.
As for LPL, Europe and the United States really have nothing to do.
There is no foreign aid in the team, and there is no phenomenon of domestic coaches going to the top European and American leagues. They are not familiar with the LPL competition area at all.
Under such circumstances, the elder brother wanted to make an appointment with YM through Lin Ran by using his contacts.
"We only need a BO5 in the training match, how about it?" Doublelift's expression was full of desire.
Team Liquid's qualifying situation looks good this year, and the big brother wants to go further into the quarterfinals.
If you can learn some version understanding or routine cooperation through the training match with YM, it will be a great benefit to TL.
"...I really can't make the decision on my own." Lin Ran picked up the tray and went to the self-service area to get sliced bread, fried eggs and ham sausage for himself. "You have to ask our coach."
It is usually the job of the coach to make appointments for training matches, Lin Ran basically does not ask, and it is impossible for him to agree without authorization.
"Okay, okay," the elder brother looked at Xiaomao again, "Then let's play a game between the two teams at night?"
Although in his opinion, the strength of Europe is not as good as that of China and South Korea, but FNC still has some strength this year, and it is definitely not a loss to arrange a training match.
The coach of FNC was sitting next to him, and when he heard that the big brother wanted to hook up with his own team to play a training match, he quickly vetoed it, "No, we made an appointment with VIT when we came here, and we will mainly play with them these two days."
The senior brother begged around, but failed to find any definite training match opponents for the team. After breakfast, he ran to the upstairs room sickly.
When Lin Ran and others returned upstairs, the training room had already been set up.
It's just that the air conditioner doesn't work.
"It's not a big deal if there is no air-conditioning in the sleeping place. It's not unacceptable to open the windows at night..." Guo Hao frowned, "But isn't it torture to stay in the training room during the day?"
I was woken up by the heat this morning, mainly because I didn’t prepare in advance. I turned on the air conditioner and closed the doors and windows. When there was no cold wind, the temperature in the room would naturally rise. If you sleep at night and ventilate, the weather in Busan is not hot.
But if you train during the day, without air conditioning is a kind of torture.
A total of more than 20 square meters of training room, ten computers and more than a dozen people are squeezed into it, and the windows are too hot to explode.
After Guo Hao communicated repeatedly, he asked Vincent to take him to a nearby shopping mall to buy a bunch of small electric fans the size of a palm, and put them on the table to blow the air.
Standing in the middle of the training room with his hands on his hips, he said to his players and staff, "The conditions are like this now, there is no way, everyone, Miss Li."
Lin Ran felt quite balanced in his heart.
After all, not only YM, but all participating teams have this configuration.
