Chapter 441: LCK Tragedy
[Before the S game started, almost everyone was making fun of Dahan Mingguo for unplugging the network cable. However, S8, as the organizer, Bangzi respected the game, but RNG did not.]
[Yan Junze said, ‘I think this game is not only good for stick players’, yes, G2 proved that Europeans can also play it well]
[Today, October 20th, IG chewed a hard bone, and RNG choked itself to death after taking a sip of water...]
[I was so nervous in the fifth game, for fear that RNG could come back]
[After playing for so many years, the best result is achieved at 50-50. It’s so true]
[One person, I will take four lanes, and I will have zero output in a team battle]
[Thank you G2, thank God P, for letting me regain my nationality]
[First of all, don’t spray UZI, the maximum damage is warning! Secondly, don’t criticize Xiaohu, cherish the warnings from people in front of you! Also, you can’t blame Casa for not having the rhythm, and the little dragon’s attributes are unsatisfactory. Warning]
RNG fell to the quarterfinals.
However, the reckoning for Huang Za, for Uzi, for Xiaohu, for Kasa, for Yan Junze, and for Shi Senming came to the top after the IG team defeated KT!
"This is a bit too ironic. RNG, which was completely optimistic, fell in the knockout round because of its arrogance, but IG was able to easily defeat the KT team 3-0 and advance to the semi-finals."
After the BO5 between RNG and G2 ended, the showdown between the IG team and the KT team, both in the top half, began.
The reason why there was so much excitement before the game was that during the qualifying round, the Latin American team was unable to come to the Great Cold Country on time due to visa issues, which resulted in all competition events being postponed for one day. The most important thing is that Riot Games officially took over the finals event this time.
For the sake of fairness, the four knockout games were scheduled to be played in two days.
This can fully avoid that some teams can get more adjustment time than other teams due to longer rest periods.
Of course, the most important reason for Riot to take over the World Championship is because the popularity of League of Legends today has far exceeded that of the S2 period!
It has become the most popular e-sports event in the world.
The Great Cold Underworld has always used its privileges as the organizer to make some small moves.
In addition to the much-talked-about incident of WE being unplugged from the network cable in the S2 season, in the 2005 Warcraft competition, Dahan Mingguo modified the game data.
Enhance all the data that are beneficial to your own side and weaken your opponent's data.
In addition, the most recent incident is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The 4AM team led by Wei Shen landed in the Great Cold Underworld one day late due to visa issues.
Although I missed the first day of the game, according to the rules, the highest score in 4 rounds of 16 games will be taken as the result.
However, Dahan Mingguo, as the organizer, immediately changed the competition format after the start of the competition, taking the sum of the total points from the four rounds.
If we look at this alone, there is actually nothing to criticize.
After all, the original competition format was indeed somewhat unreasonable.
However, as long as the Great Cold Underworld team has landed in a box during the game, the organizer will determine that the game will be restarted due to various bugs in the game.
When the two behaviors are combined, they appear to be quite
Therefore, this is why Riot suddenly announced before the start of the game that it would take over the S8 League of Legends Global Finals, and the LCK division only needed to provide venues.
"Why."
“Both games ended in the most unexpected way.”
"Domestic forums are crusading against RNG, but the Korean network is also chasing KT."
The two Korean players in the EDG team, Hae Sung-min and Lee Yeo-chan, are surfing the Internet intensively.
RNG's failure caused Huang Za, who accounted for a large portion of the audience in the LPL division, to break their defenses one after another. Many people directly turned back and began to criticize RNG.
Of course, fans of other teams who were plagued by the locust plague made all kinds of cynicism.
For a moment, RNG was like a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting to beat it.
Even though many loyal members of the royal family, or personal fans of players within the team, still stand firmly on the side they love, their hearts are full of despair.
"This is worse than when we left the top eight." Meikou originally wanted to mention the embarrassing incident of the S6 World Championship again, but after keenly observing the expressions of the factory director and Abramovich, she immediately tactically picked up the water glass on the side of the table.
Don't say another word.
"Brother Hyukkyu was called to retire." Hae Sungmin wisely found a topic from the Korean website forum to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Old Dai."
“It’s really a shame how we behaved these past few nights.”
The factory director shook his head, "In the early stage, the online performance was pretty good, but in the mid-term team battles, one person is completely lost."
"I can't blame him. IG's extremely reckless game play really restrains KT, an experienced team with a distinctive tactical style."
"Kill the master with random punches!" Abu also said: "Fighting, fighting, fighting has been non-stop since the beginning."
"It's all about operation, the lineup combination of linked positions, and the tacit understanding between players."
"Although the IG team has just debuted on the court this season, they have already started to learn from each other after last summer split, and the tacit understanding is really good."
"In addition to the upper, wild and lower three positions, they are all very powerful."
"It's normal for KT to not be able to adapt."
"Mafa and Jinzhu are still quite good." The factory manager said: "In the group stage, they let Duke play one round and Theshy play another round."
"Then in the knockout stage, only Theshy played and not Duke, and compared with the combination of operation and fighting in the group stage, the play style became a way of operation after fighting or operation by fighting, which directly confused them."
"I guess until now, KT's coaching staff or players are still dizzy."
"I don't know how they lost the game"
"Everyone, take a break."
"Take a short break tonight, but don't go out and eat anything casually. Wait until tomorrow afternoon to review it."
The factory manager stretched and sighed.
Two BO5 games a day, a total of 8 games.
Although not played all, the continuous high-intensity watching is still quite energy-consuming.
It is obviously unrealistic to review it immediately tonight.
In addition, there are still 6 days before the semi-finals. In addition to cooperating with Riot to shoot the promotional video for materials, there are still 5 days to adjust the team. The half day tonight seems insignificant.
Although the schedule of the World Championship is not very tight, the pressure on the players during the World Championship is actually very high, so taking a short half-day off after the game can maximize the state of the entire team.
After hearing the words of the factory manager, the EDG players symbolically said "Yeah" and then dispersed.
…
Obanjang, BBQ restaurant.
The IG team talked happily in a dining environment similar to a garden.
As the boss, Wang Sicong rarely did not accompany the female internet celebrity in the hotel, but sat among the team members and talked and laughed.
"Yordle people, why are they always Yodel people?"
"Open your eyes!"
The barbecue stove had just heated up, and Yu Wenbo also took the opportunity to open B station to find slices of the game that had just been played.
As expected, these Up masters who are more diligent than animals uploaded the wonderful slices of the game more than ten minutes ago.
——In the middle lane, a team battle is going on.
Niyu broke through the darkness like a flash of lightning and suddenly appeared in front of the KT team.
Accompanied by a cold laugh, the screen paused.
Above Niyu's character, a strange and cold virtual picture of Yu Wenbo flashed.
Then, she was surrounded by light.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
The feathers shot out, shining sharply, dancing like a gust of wind, breaking through the air and hitting the opponent's body, and the critical hits continued!
"Courage is the seventh equipment of ADC!"
"Critical hits are a reward for the brave!"
With the dubbing, Xia killed Deft, and her teammates rushed up and wiped out the KT team.
Enjoy!
Yu Wenbo leaned back in the chair.
Since he started playing professionally, he has never had such a wonderful feeling.
Flash forward!
This time is different from any previous game!
[KT: GG said that the food has been ordered and they are just waiting for the food to be served. So we let the car rush over at 3:30. Is there any problem? ]
[Uzi is awesome. First he made Aiming autistic, then he made Doublelift autistic, then he made Rekkles, Ruler and Pray autistic. Today he made 90% of Chinese fans autistic]
[IG: Lao Huang, we have tested KT for you. It is really very watery. No, Lao Huang, where are you? ]
[I don’t object to some people calling Shy Dad, but it’s just cheap for those who call Shy Brother]
[I am great, no need to say more! ]
[This is the operation that my ideal ADC player should play. ]
[On the other hand, RNG’s AD]
The entire video segment is not long, only two minutes.
Watching Ning, Wang, Baolan and the boss talking and laughing, Yu Wenbo refreshed the video to satisfy his spiritual enjoyment, but he didn't expect that in just two minutes, the barrage would instantly increase by a large amount.
Looking at the comments from talented netizens, he couldn't help but smile.
"Rouji, if I remember correctly, you seem to have played in KT before?"
Wang Sicong said with a hint of sarcasm: "Why are you so cruel today?"
"I'm not familiar with them." Rouji touched his head and said naively: "It's a bit difficult to let them go."
"Hahaha!"
"Come on in the semifinals, carry G2 away directly."
"This means IG>G2>RNG. Although there is no chance of revenge this season, isn't this a kind of victory?"
Gao Zhenning is very narrow-minded. For the spring playoffs and summer playoffs, RNG defeated IG twice in a row, making him unable to participate in the finals, and he has always been upset in his heart.
After seeing RNG being defeated by G2 today, he felt much happier than if he had won the game himself.
"Ah, it's a pity."
"If RNG hadn't crashed, this year it would have been our three LPL teams that would have surrounded FNC in the semifinals."
"Haha, it's funny."
"This should be the first time that no LCK team has made it to the semifinals of the world championship? The most important thing is the Great Cold Netherland."
"I don't even know if the tickets for the semifinals and finals can be sold out."
Su Xiaoluo also interrupted and courted his boss.
"Indeed." Mr. Wang nodded, and then said: "G2 looks strong. Are you confident in the semi-finals?"
"Very confident."
"RNG can't beat G2, it's all their own fault."
"Otherwise, the game can end at most 3 to 1."
Rouji's evaluation was very objective.
"Our biggest opponent is EDG."
"They basically won't have an upset against FNC."
"Maybe we'll see in the finals."
Su Xiaoluo also added quickly, and picked up a skewer of grilled eels.
"Alas."
"Some people really don't have good taste."
Su Xiaoluo sat next to Yu Wenbo, and the meaning of his words was also very clear. This person was referring to Yu Wenbo.
Because Yu Wenbo is allergic to seafood, although eels grow in fresh water, they spawn in the sea, so they can also be considered marine fish.
Yu Wenbo can't be touched at all.
Hearing this, Yu Wenbo's originally good mood disappeared instantly, and he smiled awkwardly.
Originally, Wang Sicong wanted to take the players to eat seafood, but after knowing that Yu Wenbo was allergic to seafood, he changed it to eat the most famous local barbecue.
The players had no objections.
After all, the risk of eating seafood is still relatively high, and diarrhea or food poisoning are both possible.
In comparison, barbecue is much safer, and theshy and Rouji both like Korean barbecue very much, and they are quite satisfied with it.
Only Su Xiaoluo has been brooding about it
Of course, this little episode was not noticed by the boss and other players who were discussing it happily.
…
"Luo is the best offensive support in the version, and the next two heroes are Minotaur and Thresh."
"In comparison, Braum's priority can actually be delayed."
"When the opponent takes out Titan or poke heroes, Braum's priority is higher."
Late at night, the other players of EDG did not come back.
Although they have adjusted their work and rest schedule, in order to adapt to the rhythm of the world game, their sleeping and waking time during this period is postponed by three hours than usual.
For some reason, the factory manager and Jiang Zhun both tacitly did not go out to play.
After watching the video on their mobile phones for a while, they were bored and began to analyze the BO5 match between KT and IG.
"The appearance rate of these heroes is still high."
"Rakan must not be released on the IG side."
"Baolan with Rakan and without Rakan are two different levels of support."
Jiang Zhun's tone was quite firm, and he almost said that Baolan without Rakan was not as good as some diamond game support players.
"I know this, even if I waste the class meeting in the first round, I will not let him go."
"In comparison, what I am most worried about is the middle lane."
"Rookie's performance today was really good. Except for the fact that the first game was too tense and he did not buy the starting equipment, it was really perfect."
"Whether it was in terms of last-hitting or roaming support."
"I am a little afraid that Hai Chengmin is not his opponent."
The factory manager pointed to several mid-lane heroes and said: "Lissandra, Galio, and Hai Chengmin all played very well."
"But it is much worse than Rookie"
