Ji Feng's condition was not serious, but his wound was inflamed after all. After taking the antipyretic injection, although his body temperature dropped a lot, he still had a low fever.
Yan Jin discussed with Roll and decided to let Ji Feng stay in the hospital for another night to prevent a recurrence of his condition at night.
In WDG team's debut match tomorrow, Lin Mi will replace Ji Feng.
Lin Mi was a little confused after receiving the notice.
He would have no problem playing one or two training games for Jifeng, but he is not ready for a real game right now.
"Xiaomi, you don't have to feel any burden,"
Roll still looked heartless. "Anyway, our first match is against DZG. Even if Jifeng is not sick, there is no hope of winning. Just do your best and consider it as gaining experience."
DZG team, the champion of this year's LPL Spring Season and the world runner-up of the Mid-Season Champions Cup, can be said to be the strongest team in the current LPL.
The newly formed WDG team directly fought against the final boss in the first game, which is completely in line with the tradition of LPL.
Every team that is newly formed or promoted from the secondary league will face insurmountable opponents in the first game. In the words of the audience, this is called welcome to the LPL.
Everyone on the WDG team understood the gap in strength between their team and the DZG team. Although no one said it out loud, everyone was mentally prepared for the outcome of the game. So even when there was an emergency like Ji Feng falling ill and needing a substitution, no one panicked.
It's impossible to defeat him with normal fighting anyway, so Shanglin tried to find a surprising trick, which might have some miraculous effect.
Lin Mi also understood this. He was not afraid of losing, but he just didn't want to be the one who dragged down the team.
"Don't worry, I'm here," Rong Zezhou said confidently, "Tomorrow we'll do it just like the training match. I'll be the big carry in the middle lane, and you just need to focus on last-hitting and developing."
Lin Mi looked over expectantly: "As long as I finish off the enemy well, can you lead us to victory?"
Rong Zezhou shook his head: "No, I can help you share the firepower. If I lose with the big core, the haters will definitely come to criticize me. Wouldn't you feel less pressure this way?"
Lin Mi immediately put away all the expressions on his face and stared at Rong Zezhou with dead eyes: "Thank you, no."
Although Rong Zezhou's jokes had no constructive significance, they did ease Lin Mi's anxiety a little.
There is one thing that Roll said is very right. Since you are facing an opponent who is much stronger than you, just try your best. If you lose, you won’t lose anything, and if you win, you will make a lot of money!
Lin Mi has always had a good ability to self-regulate. When he got on the team bus to the competition venue with his peripherals on his back, the only thing left in his mind was how to achieve a surprise victory.
Rong Zezhou sat next to Lin Mi, still trying to save his character which was about to collapse:
"Xiaomi, let's switch keyboards during the competition."
If this pink and white keyboard and mouse appeared in the live broadcast, the serious image he had built up over the years would definitely collapse on the spot.
"Don't make a fuss," Lin Mi refused sternly, "We've already reported the peripherals to the league before the game, how can we just change them at will?"
Rong Zezhou still refused to give up: "Then I'll switch to the team's spare keyboard."
Before the game, each player will report his or her peripherals to the league, and the team will report several extra sets of spare ones to avoid accidents on the field.
"You are not used to the team's backup keyboard again," Lin Mi looked at Rong Zezhou with a smile, "Ship God, don't forget that you promised me last night that you would lead me to victory today——"
Rong Zezhou: ...
It's not that he doesn't have it. He knows himself well and he wouldn't brag like that.
"Can we really win?"
Hua Shuran, who was sitting in front of them, suddenly turned around. It was also his first time to play in a competition and he had changed his partner temporarily. He was so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night and had huge dark circles under his eyes.
Looking at the team assistant who was even more nervous than Lin Mi, Rong Zezhou finally couldn't bear to deny it, but nodded: "Well, I'll lead the team today."
After hearing Rong Zezhou's words, Hua Shuran breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Rong Zezhou very seriously and said, "Don't worry, Ship God. I will definitely protect you today. I will give you a bird shield, a crucible, and help you block damage. I will always stand in front of you!"
Lin Mi: srds, you seem to be my assistant...
Rong Zezhou: There is no need to do so...
"Very good, Shu Ran, just keep this belief,"
Roll continued to fool the new assistant with a smile, "We must believe in the God of Ship. The God of Ship will definitely lead us to victory!"
Rong Zezhou: Thank you.
The cute new auxiliary, under the persuasion of the two veterans, got rid of the gloom just now and became confident again. He lively pulled Zhuoyang to discuss how the jungler and the auxiliary should cooperate to defeat the opponent's mid laner in the following game.
Brother Hai, who was sitting in the last row and understood everything, said slowly: "You are young and stupid."
WGD team's game was the first game of the day. When they arrived at the venue, the audience had not yet entered.
When he went on stage to debug the equipment, Lin Mi looked at the empty auditorium and suddenly thought of a question:
"What do you think we'll do if no fans of our team come to watch the game today?"
After each match, when waiting to enter the game after the bp, there will be a segment where the audience will cheer for the players.
The DZG team they are playing against today has a long history, impressive results, and a large number of fans. The cheers for them will surely be very loud in a while.
But their team has just been reorganized and has no achievements. They even had substitutes on the field today. It would be embarrassing if there was silence when they should have been cheering for them to cheer.
"Hey ADC, don't you know our team's mid laner too well?"
Brother Hai pinched his throat and said, "The Ship God is the most handsome, the Ship God is invincible, and the Ship God has the most fans in the world—"
Rong Zezhou stood up directly from his chair and clenched his fist towards the team's top laner.
Brother Hai cleared his throat wisely and said seriously, "Jungler, try to see if your DF key works properly, or you won't be able to use the punishment again."
Zhuo Yang who was caught in the crossfire:? ?
What do you mean he can’t use the punishment button again? Didn’t he fail in using the punishment button during the training match yesterday?
That's a matter of luck, not a problem of skill!
Facts have proved that Lin Mi really underestimated Rong Zezhou's popularity. When they really came on stage after being introduced by the host, there was a burst of enthusiastic applause from the audience, mixed with screams from girls, and even a big brother with full of energy shouted: "Ship God, you are so handsome!"
"Our Ship God is still as popular as ever."
Today's commentators are still Bi Hai and Qing Tian. Hearing the cheers from the audience, Qing Tian said with emotion, "Even though he transferred to the bottom-ranked WDG team in the league this summer, the fans' support for him remains unchanged."
Bi Hai corrected him, "Being at the bottom of the league was a matter of the Spring Split, okay? The WDG team's roster in the Summer Split is actually pretty good, and I'm looking forward to their good results in the Summer Split."
Qingtian: "Indeed, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the WDG team today. Top laner Sea Sun Hai, this is an old acquaintance of ours. There is no top laner in the entire LPL who is more experienced than Brother Hai. Although he has been resting for a while due to injury, his rank points have always remained at the level of a thousand-point king, without any slackness."
"Sun Zhuoyang, the jungler, is a young player who was promoted from the secondary league in the spring season. Although WDG's performance in the spring season was not very good, Zhuoyang still left a deep impression on everyone with his unpredictable jungle style."
"Mid laner Boat Rong Zezhou, no need to say more about the boat god, he was the first-team mid laner in the spring season, an absolute top player."
"It is worth mentioning that in today's debut, WDG did not use their starting ADC Jifeng, but used substitute Seek Lin Mi, who formed a new combination with support Flower Hua Shuran. These two players are on the LPL stage for the first time. I look forward to them bringing us fresh vitality."
[The commentator is just bragging, what a crappy configuration, the boat god is completely messed up. ]
[That's right. When I looked at the roster before, there were at least two carries, Swift and Ship God. Now, Swift is not on the roster for such an important debut. Instead, a substitute who has never played a game is on the roster. I don't know what the WDG coaching staff is thinking! ]
[I feel sorry for Jifeng. This substitute is a very popular anchor. WDG only cares about popularity and not results. ]
The comments in the official live broadcast room were not as optimistic about the WDG team's player configuration as the commentators, and could even be said to be very dissatisfied.
Especially the fact that Ji Feng did not start was totally incomprehensible.
At this time, under the director's prompt, Bi Hai quickly explained: "The reason why WDG team did not play Swift today but played the substitute ADC is because Swift has a fever, so fans who like Swift don't worry, we will be able to see Swift on the court again soon."
On the stage, the WDG team players who were wearing noise-canceling headphones had no idea what the commentator was saying. The BP hadn't started yet, so they turned on the training camp solo to maintain their feel while chatting.
"I don't know what Ji Feng is doing in the background," Zhuo Yang pressed the punishment button frantically on the big dragon in the training camp. "I told him to watch the live broadcast in the hospital, but he insisted on waiting in the lounge. The air-conditioning in the lounge is so cold. What if his condition gets worse?"
Lin Mi kept firing at Rong Zezhou, keeping his hand on him. "When I came out, I set the air conditioner to 26 degrees dehumidification mode and hid the remote control. He shouldn't be able to get cold."
Rong Zezhou gave Lin Mi a thumbs-up, praising his young leader's very effective way of doing things.
Brother Hai picked up his hot tea and took a sip: "Referee, can you turn off the air conditioner facing me? I always feel a cold wind blowing behind me."
The referee standing behind Brother Hai raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and answered coldly: "No, if you are cold, put on your team jacket."
The stage is equipped with central air conditioning with unified control. Where can he turn off the air outlet individually?
What's more, the lights here are so bright that people are sweating, and there is no cold wind blowing!
The bp of the game started quickly. The WDG team on the red side conservatively chose to ban three strong heroes in this version, while the DZG team on the blue side banned the mid laner, banned the mid laner, and banned the mid laner.
Rong Zezhou: ...
"Ah, this familiar smell," Bi Hai shouted exaggeratedly in the commentary booth, "As expected, whenever there is a game with the ship god, the ban position is always a variety of mid-lane heroes."
Qingtian also smiled: "So being the teammate of the Ship God should be quite comfortable. After all, there is always someone in the front to bear the enemy's fire."
The teammates of the ship god are indeed very happy.
Except for the speechless Rong Zezhou, all the other members of the WDG team laughed.
"In the first three rounds, pick the jungler and bottom lane first, and leave the counter position to Azhou," Roll said while instructing his teammates to choose heroes. "Anyway, he has a deep hero pool, so he can carry whatever he chooses."
The WDG team had no idea what the mid laner was feeling. When the DZG team on the blue side had priority in picking players, Hai Ge directly asked Hua Shuran: "Shuran, what kind of support do you want to play? I'll grab it for you."
However, after he asked this question for a while, he didn't hear Hua Shuran's answer.
Lin Mi quickly turned to look at Hua Shuran who was sitting next to him, but saw that he was staring at the computer screen with his eyes wide open, as if he didn't hear Brother Hai's question at all.
"Shu Ran?"
Lin Mi tapped the table lightly, and then he saw Hua Shuran looking at him blankly.
"Referee, our support can't seem to hear his teammates."
Lin Mi quickly raised his hand to signal to the referee.
The referee called Hua Shuran several times in the voice chat, and seeing that Hua Shuran had no response, he immediately signaled for a BP pause.
The bp interface on the computer disappeared, and when they returned to the team room, Hua Shuran realized something was wrong. He subconsciously wanted to take off his headphones, but was held down by the referee who came over to check the situation.
After the staff responsible for debugging the equipment came on stage, the referee signaled Hua Shuran to take off his headphones and give up his seat.
The BP on the field was suddenly paused, and the audience couldn't help but talk about it. Hua Shuran, who didn't wear noise-cancelling headphones, listened to the buzzing sound in the audience and the commentator's words to comfort the audience. He stood at the back with a pale face, lowering his head in a loss, as if he was a child who had done something wrong.
Yan Jin, who came on the court as an assistant coach to help with bp, put his arm around Hua Shuran's shoulders. Brother Hai handed over the heating pad he had prepared when he came on the court. Everyone else also turned around and smiled at Hua Shuran. Zhuo Yang even made a few exaggerated faces.
Although they were not allowed to take off their headphones and had no way to communicate with Hua Shuran, they all told Hua Shuran through their actions that they were with him.
Hua Shuran pinched the hot heating patch, took a few deep breaths, and tried hard to calm himself down.
At this time, the commentators who saw the situation of the WDG team through the camera also kindly helped to adjust the atmosphere.
Bi Hai said with a smile: "Congratulations to our classmate Xiao Hua. You encountered equipment problems in your first LPL game. Don't worry, because you will get used to it in the future."
Qingtian added fuel to the fire: "The suspension during the BP phase is a small matter. At most, we can just take the whole equipment away and replace it with a new one. It won't take long. You know, our audience friends have experienced the incident of pausing for four hours in the middle of the game. Everyone has a strong ability to withstand pressure."
Bi Hai: "Although WDG is a newly formed team, it can be seen that they are very united. Although the players cannot communicate by speaking, they are now using their eyes to help Xiao Hua relieve stress."
Qingtian: "Dear audience members, let's show our enthusiasm as LPL audiences, okay? Let's all cheer for Xiaohua who encountered difficulties in her first competition!"
The audience at the scene gave face to the two veteran commentators and really shouted "Come on, Xiaohua" three times in a row. The deafening shouting completely stunned Hua Shuran.
The little assistant's eyes suddenly turned red, and Lin Mi, who had been paying attention to him, immediately handed him a tissue.
Hua Shuran wiped away her tears somewhat embarrassedly, then mustered up her courage, took a step forward, and bowed deeply to the enthusiastic audience.
There was a round of encouraging applause at the scene, and the staff had already adjusted the headset and signaled Hua Shuran that he could sit back in his seat.
The bp was quickly raised again. After both sides banned the heroes according to their previous choices, the game returned to the blue side's first choice scene.
Brother Hai asked just like he did last time: "Shu Ran, what kind of support do you want to play? I'll choose for you."
This time, Hua Shuran heard it. He sniffed and said firmly: "Choose Titan for me, I will set the pace!"
In fact, just now on the bus, he didn't want to make his teammates worry, so he pretended to believe Rong Zezhou's words, but in fact he was very worried.
But just now, when he felt most helpless, he received encouragement and blessings from everyone in the audience, which instantly calmed his heart.
He knows that he is far from being an excellent support, but he will try his best for his lovely teammates and enthusiastic audiences, to let those who support him see that they have not made a mistake in choosing him.
After Brother Hai helped Hua Shuran lock down the Titan, Zhuoyang chose a jungle bear for himself that could set the pace in the early game.
While instructing Rong Zezhou to get the ADC for Lin Mi in the third hand, Roll said with emotion: "I could hear the cheers from the audience even with my noise-isolating headphones on. I really have to thank the audience, otherwise the newbies on our team might have been affected by this pause."
Hua Shuran lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Zhuo Yang had a question mark on his face: "Coach, you are not including me, right?"
Lin Mi first told Rong Zezhou that she would help him get the ez, then said calmly: "Well, it's time to thank the audience. Maoer Live said that the effect of our last live broadcast was very good, and the new cosplay costume is on the way. Let's arrange it in a few days."
Yan Jin nodded in agreement: "Sure, Maoer Live is very generous. Xiaomi, remember to talk to them. If you want to cosplay live, the sharing of live gifts should still be the same as last time."
Lin Mi smiled and hummed: "Okay, Brother Yan, don't worry, I'm a professional in negotiating the profit sharing with the live broadcast platform!"
WDG team top, mid, jungle and support: …
They don’t know whether the pause just now has affected their mentality, but the cos “intimidation” from the team leader and analyst just now has seriously affected their mentality!
Listen to the real-time voice in the backstage lounge: …
Is it too late for me to go back to the hospital now?
As the team leader, he shouldn’t bully the sick and ask him to cosplay Zoe, right?
The author has something to say:
Hua Shuran: srds, the name Xiaohua is a bit rustic...
