Hearing Ren Xiao's appreciation, Yun Luoyang scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It's nothing, if it weren't for Penguin to bring this game to China, I wouldn't have had a chance to play it." ”

Ren Xiao laughed and said: "Okay, okay, no need to blow each other in business, I called you here today, I have something to tell you." ”

Yun Luoyang was curious: "Things? What's the matter? ”

Ren Xiao waved his hand: "Don't worry, you first listen to Abu about the qualifications for the S2 World Finals." ”

In fact, everyone knows the qualifications for the S2 World Finals, one is to win the play-in championship. This championship was won by IGA, and IGA is also the team currently ranked second in the standings, so unless the championship is won by a team other than WEA, it will definitely be IGA.

The second is the first place in the standings, and WEA is currently in first place with 12 points, unless this City Hero Championship WEA has no points, does not even get a third place, and loses to another team in the playoff with the same points.

Otherwise, WEA will enter the World Championship properly.

It can be said that the qualification for S2 has been determined in June of the middle of the year, so what's the point of talking about this now?

Yun Luoyang looked at Sister Bu curiously.

Sister Bu muttered: "You also know the qualifications, unless you can't get a ranking in WEA, it has basically been determined." But haven't you always wanted to go to the World Finals? I have a chance here, do you want to go? ”

"Opportunity?"

Yun Luoyang was ecstatic and said: "Could it be that this S2 allows the team to bring a substitute player?" ”

He remembered that at the S2 World Finals, there was obviously no substitute player. Now that the WEA positions are stable, it is unlikely that he will be given another position. But there are no substitutes for the first and no spare places for the second.

What will Abu do to get him to go to the S competition?

"Of course not." Sister Bu shook her head and said, "At present, Riot has not stipulated that substitutes can be brought in the World Championships, and even the penguins, which own 92.78% of Riot's shares, cannot be changed. But ......"

But?

Yun Luoyang waited for the following with doubts.

Sister Bu smiled slightly: "But we found a loophole in Riot's rules that can take you to the competition." I reported this to Penguin through the club, and after the Penguin checked Riot's rules for S2, they affirmed it and felt that there was no problem, so they brought you over to talk about it, depending on your wishes. ”

"Rule loopholes? You say. Yun Luoyang didn't dare to breathe, waiting for Sister Bu's detailed explanation.

Originally, Riot's rules for League of Legends were written, and the Season II World Championship was expected to take place in the United States in October 2012, when each country was expected to earn two spots to compete for the $5 million prize. The Chinese team will be awarded points based on the results of the large-scale offline competitions after the operation of League of Legends, and the team with the highest points will represent China in the Season II World Finals! If the team with the highest number of points is unable to participate due to special reasons (such as visa issues, injury issues), it is allowed to arrange substitute players or substitute teams from the teams in the subsequent rankings.

There is a sentence in the back that if the team with the highest points cannot participate in the team due to special reasons (such as visa issues, injury problems), it is allowed to arrange substitute players or substitute teams in the teams that are ranked later.

It was this phrase that gave the WÉA an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Because the senior management of WEA asked about Penguin, Penguin consulted about the situation on Riot's side, and the response was this.

Teams must apply for visas in September and arrive in California by October. If there are problems such as injuries or problems with the team members after landing, the tournament organizers of each country are allowed to arrange a substitute team or substitute players in the standings to participate.

In other words, if WEA comes to the United States and a player suddenly falls ill, then the substitute can be played.

From this point of view, Riot's rules are still relatively humane, so that you don't have a substitute at all.

It's just that everyone is a pheasant team in S2, including WEA, who is poor and can't afford to raise substitute players, so there is no substitute appearance. And in the tense and exciting environment of the Global Championship, it was obviously inappropriate to bring a substitute who did not have any cooperation with the team, so few teams would bring a substitute at that time.

Unless someone really has a visa problem or an injury problem, there is really no way.

But this kind of thing is not necessarily without precedent.

In S2, there is one team that has a substitute, and that is the S2 Champion TPA. There are two mid-laner players, and the substitute mid-laner is still the promoter of TPA, NXC, but the performance of the starting mid-laner in the game has been very stable and has not allowed NXC to play.

So in S2, Riot also did not explicitly prohibit substitutions. It's just that the rules are limited on the substitution.

Substitutes are only allowed when there are injuries and problems in the players. Other times, substitutes are not allowed.

Moreover, there are no skin bonuses for substitutes and they will not be recognized as champions.

Although in S3 and S4, although Riot has opened up substitutes and allowed teams to bring a substitute to the S arena unconditionally, the substitutes have no human rights at all and have no skin at all. This will continue until S5, when the number of champion skins will increase to 6.

Here's what WEA's plan looks like.

After the plane landed in the United States, they applied to Riot for a replacement in the name of the team's unadaptability.

This is within the limits of the rules, so Riot should agree.

And the penguins will help them make it happen.

Don't think that Penguin has no support for Chinese esports, in fact, Penguin has always been promoting Chinese esports.

It's just that the Blue Speed Internet café incident and the problem of domestic censorship have caused the e-sports career to be dragged very slowly. (If you are interested, you can go to Baidu.) ）

In fact, the Chinese version of League of Legends has been lagging behind foreign countries, not at all because Riot does not update the new version, nor is it because Penguin is deliberately making the domestic version update slower than abroad.

But...... (I'm afraid of being 404, so I won't say it, anyway, it's an irresistible reason.) ）

Therefore, whether Yun Luoyang can become a substitute is not a question at all.

The problem is that Yunluoyang will not get any benefits.

Because even if you win the championship, the glory belongs to WEA, and it has nothing to do with Yun Luoyang. It can be said that Yun Luoyang went to WEA as a substitute, basically working for free day jobs, and his name will not even be in the list of champion teams.

This is also the reason why Abu came to ask Yun Luoyang's opinion.

"So what do you think?"

After Sister Bu analyzed the situation for him, she said: "That's it now, you can go, but if you win the championship, the ownership of this championship is WEA's." ”

Yun Luoyang barely hesitated and said, "I'm willing to go!" ”

Joke.

The S race has always been his dream since he was reborn, and if there is really a way to go to the S race, he will definitely spare no effort to agree. Even if there are no bonuses, no honors, no skins. So what? It's the greatest luck to be able to go to the S competition, and I never have to ask for anything.

Because he has only one wish, that is, to regain the glory of the Chinese team and defeat the humiliation of the past. I want to get back all the things that the world owed to the Chinese team in the S2 competition that year.
