Chapter 262 Reaper Is the Highest Mountain of SKT

Why does SKT change its top laner every other year? Why is there such a high turnover of team members in SKT? Since the establishment of the team, there have been several major changes.

After winning the championship, the team members were exposed to various temptations and money.

What's more, the psychological pressure of riding a horse is so great that they simply can't bear it.

From the field to off the field, from inside the team to outside the team, the life of not being able to stop at all times, working, training, and competing like a robot may become a nightmare for them in this life.

But at this time, others obviously haven't realized this yet. Perhaps the old SKT people have a tacit understanding. Before the dynasty collapses, they will abide by their duties, keep silent, and maintain this hard-won relationship. of miracles.

"I'll tell you a number. Nine and one are open. Isn't that too much? Brothers."

Peanut said lively, he is the most relaxed person in the SKT team now.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that he joined for a short period of time, and Kkoma has not given him much strength yet.

In the summer games, the Riot version will change. When Leehom's intensity increases, the little peanut will become a peanut in an instant. He will learn from Collier's Dirty Dancing, and the main character will be a brush word, which will cause brain congestion to the audience all over the world.

"Open on September 1st? It's a bit too much."

Chen Yiqiu shook his head.

Li Sang Hyuk nodded and said, "I think so."

"Let's go to ten, we are ten, they are zero."

Everyone: "..."

Sang Hyuk, are you so crazy now?

Everyone tried their best to relieve the fatigue and stress during this period and keep their spirits as high as possible.

This is a hard-won opportunity for other teams and regions, a ticket to the semi-finals of the World Championship, and a ticket to the finals, but here in SKT, there is an inexplicable sense of sparseness and normality.

"But after all, FW should not be underestimated. After all, they are very strong in BO1 singles. Although they have not won BO5, if something unexpected happens and they really overturn, then our joke will be big. "

After the laughter, Kkoma warned everyone with a serious face.

This kind of thing, similar to some bizarre 10,000 economic comeback, can happen to any team, but it absolutely cannot happen to SKT.

Because the current SKT represents absolute dominance and authority. This will not change even if a team that surpasses SKT appears in the league again in a few decades.

Everyone, LPL, LMS, still trembles when they see the three letters SKT, which creates huge psychological pressure.

"Okay, get ready, it's time to play."

At this moment, the front desk director gave the notice, and everyone in SKT packed up their things and walked towards the grand stage together.

…

at the same time.

Front row, VIP viewing position.

Today, everyone in the LPL and WE came to the scene specially to watch a crucial showdown in the first half of this year.

Although from a probability perspective, the chance of FW being upset is very small.

However, as a saying goes, you still have to have dreams, just in case they come true.

Everyone in the LPL, at least these players, do not want SKT to win at this moment. Even if they could, they would choose to exchange conditions with God, using their teammates to be single for a lifetime in exchange for SKT losing the game...

"Do you think FW can advance today?"

RNG's Xiaohu rubbed his chin and began to ask for other opinions.

"Enough to choke you."

Xiangguo said crudely and directly, highlighting his sincerity.

"Uh... you can't say that. Lightning Wolf is still good. He is the king of BO1 and specializes in killing SKT!"

Uzi retorted: "SKT is strong, but now it's a bit nonsense to just say 100% that FW lost without even playing a single game. If that's the case, everyone won't have to compete in the future and just declare the champion directly." alright."

"Yes, stains are right."

The IG kid nodded repeatedly, feeling that what Shi Zi said was so right, and it spoke to his heart.

Are their IG weak? Not weak!

If we really look at the team's support, wouldn't their IG never have a chance to win the championship?

"The main reason is Chen Yiqiu. If FW wants to win, they must get rid of SKT's top laner."

Brother Leg, as the only LPL top laner who has played against Chen Yiqiu so far this year, said with great authority: "To be honest, SKT's top laner position is a bit buggy, it's just... foul."

"That's right."

Hearing someone bragging about Chen Yiqiu, as Chen Yiqiu's only good friend in the LPL, Letme rarely mustered up the courage to interject: "Yi Qiu is very strong. Those strong teams that lost to SKT basically had mistakes in the top lane."

"I feel like Flash Wolves' top laner... isn't very good."

As a superior, he did not support Chen Yiqiu without thinking when he said this.

FW's current top laner, MMD, is also an old face in international competitions. I believe anyone who is not blind can see how far his personal strength and performance are from Reaper.

Therefore, this is the reason why everyone is not optimistic about FW.

Do you think MMD can beat Reaper online?

Not to mention that the configuration of other positions of FW is not on the same level as the current SKT.

Of course, it is not ruled out that MMD suddenly explodes, just like the Sword Demon Brother of DRX in S12 of another world, the FW team burns their lives and kills SKT in the last dance.

That was really the biggest breaking news this year, second only to SKT being eliminated in the S competition.

"Okay... let's begin."

Everyone chatted for a few more words, and when they saw that the screen had switched to the commentary box, they all immediately sat upright, preparing to watch this game that they were very serious about.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational. I am Zeyuan, the commentator for this game."

"I remember."

"I'm Rita."

LPLMSI broadcast room.

Guan Zeyuan, remember, and Rita also appeared in front of the camera. This is also the standard for the commentator's seat in this year's MSILPL division.

The three of them had smiles on their faces and looked in high spirits. The current LPL team has not yet been eliminated, and their hearts are not heavy.

"So the two teams that are going to face off today... I think everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Yes, SKT has advanced to the MSI semi-finals again after a year. As for the FW team... it's also very interesting."

Guan Zeyuan smiled and said: "The Flash Wolves have always been a very strange team. They have rarely won BO5s in international competitions... but their winning rate in BO1s is very high."

"And this team has a lot of "experience" in playing against SKT. I think we can look forward to this and see if there can be any big upsets today."

Rtia laughed.

Because the FW team does have this trick. Every time they play BO1, they are like a god of war, and BO5 is like a wild card.

In a decisive battle like today that involves advancing to the World Finals, FW versus SKT is indeed worth looking forward to.

"But I still have to say one thing. In fact, before the game, I read a lot of people's comments online."

Guan Zeyuan got to the point: "How should I put it... Looking at the two teams at the moment, it does seem that SKT has the advantage."

"Because Reaper from the previous team maintained a very scary state at this year's MSI. I feel that after half a year, he is no weaker than he was at the S6 Global Finals."

Rita nodded and said: "A common topic - when playing against SKT, you first have to think about how to face Reaper."

"If you face Reaper..."

Everyone was silent.

Now Chen Yiqiu is equivalent to a big mountain in the SKT team. If you can't praise this big mountain, then don't talk about defeating SKT.

Unless Reaper's status declines one day, then SKT may change from "gods" to "humans" again.

It makes people look up and find hope of catching up.

"I believe that FW's coaching staff should have done a lot of preparation and homework. At the same time... SKT will not let down its vigilance. Facing this level of semi-finals, both sides will definitely do their best to serve everyone present. , and audiences around the world, presenting a wonderful audio-visual feast..."

"Then we see that the director's camera has switched and BP has begun. Let's enter the first matchup of today's semi-finals BO5 together!"

The commentary finished, and the director's camera switched to the BP interface.

In the first game of the BO5 semi-finals, SKT chose the blue side and FW the red side because of their points advantage in the group stage.

"banjes, banjes!"

As soon as they came up, there was an immediate consensus within the FW team to ban Jess first.

Then came Sword Girl, and finally Qinggang Ying.

As soon as the third child came on, there was not a single doubt or surprise in the audience.

SKT on the opposite side even looked at it and laughed.

"Ah, it's like this again, Yiqiu, what kind of terrible impression does your kid usually leave on others, so that everyone is beating us like this now."

"We are so shameless."

Li Zaiwan muttered.

Pei Junzhi, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but laugh a little, nodded and said: "That's true, being teammates with Yi Qiu is too stressful."

"You're right."

Li Zaiwan nodded immediately and glanced at Li Sang Hyuk: "There is a saying that is very popular on the Internet now..."

"Of all the teams in the world, being a member of SKT is the most tiring, and within the SKT team, the jungler and bot lane are the most tiring."

"Why? Because of the two IDs of Reaper and Faker, we don't pay any attention. No matter how well we play, everyone's attention will be on them. We will always live under the aura of Reaper and Faker."

"Wow……"

Pei Junzhi's expression moved.

Because what Li Zaiwan said is not just a joke, it is actually a fact.

Of course, everyone in SKT doesn't really feel much about this, because they have a very good relationship in private, and with the relationship of brothers and friends, these things don't seem to matter.

Little Peanut blinked his eyes and asked excitedly: "Can I grow into people like Brother Yiqiu and Brother Xianghe in the future?"

"sure."

Chen Yiqiu faced his younger brother's enthusiastic gaze and was unwilling to spoil his happiness.

"Then I want to play blind, they are not banned, I have to teach them lessons, starting from imitating Reaper players."

Peanut pointed out the hero he wanted to play in this game.

Chen Yiqiu's popularity and fame are largely due to his fame as a hero and his gorgeous and classic operations.

For example, the angry fire lotus, the immortal guiding the way, the god king descending to earth...

Any fancy words you can think of can be used to describe Reaper's operation.

So Peanut wants to learn this. He believes that the first step to becoming a "great player" like Reaper and Faker is to play his own famous operations and heroes.

Obviously, Blind Sin is his most confident and favorite hero at the moment.

As a versatile jungler and a frequent visitor to international competitions, SKT has naturally trained countless times in private.

So after hearing this, Kkoma didn't hesitate much and agreed to Xiaohuahua's request.

"Yes, but the rhythm still depends on other heroes and position changes."

"Long live the coach!"

Little Peanut waved his hands excitedly.

Crash.

But the director's shot just ended here. When everyone saw this scene, they thought SKT was doing something fancy again, and thought of the cheers and applause.

It has to be said that after Little Peanut joined SKT, at least so far, the overall atmosphere of SKT has been greatly enhanced.

Moreover, due to the appearance of the pair Xiaohuahua and Chen Yiqiu, there is even a strange group of CP fans among the people.

Chen Yiqiu felt a little inexplicably guilty.

It’s not a good sign to be a CP fan... I don’t really want to follow in the footsteps of those star players...

On this side, the bans on both sides ended. SKT took Lee Sin first, without giving FW a chance to grab it. FW chose mid laner Syndra and jungler Prince.

This is another classic midfielder combination, which is considered a good choice at the moment.

When SKT saw this, Lee Sang Hyuk's eyes flickered and he said decisively: "Coach, I want to play Enchantress."

"Can."

Facing Lee Sang Hyuk, his own son, Kkoma will not hesitate. Enchantress has a good appearance rate in this MSI, and since the opponent has already got the mid lane tyrant Syndra, the choice of Enchantress will be very suitable.

In this way, SKT will take Enchantress in their second hand.

When it came to the third-hand choice, everyone was a little hesitant.

——Do you want to get the top order in the first round?

…

"SKT hasn't got the top lane hero yet. If we don't get it now, FW will probably continue to ban people like the teams that met SKT in the group stage in the second round."

Commentary seat.

Guan Zeyuan stared at the BP interface on the big screen, guessing SKT's next decision.

Being able to get a suitable top lane hero one step ahead is of course the best choice for SKT. Reaper's current acquisition of good heroes means that SKT has already won half the game.

But if they don't get it in advance, SKT will continue to be targeted by FW in the second round. In fact, SKT is not helpless.

——Reaper is a sea of ​​heroes, as countless defeated teams have proven.

So really speaking, Reaper is not afraid of continuing to be targeted, but SKT can gain more control over BP, and other positions will be more comfortable.

This depends on how SKT chooses to choose, as well as the issue of self-confidence.

If they are confident about Chen Yiqiu, they will choose heroes in other positions in the first round. If they want to be more stable, they will lock in the top laner.

And soon, SKT gave its answer.

They have unprecedented confidence in Reaper.

SKT got their last pick in the first round, AD Policewoman.

In this way, in the second round, FW was not polite and continued to ban Galio and Vampire, and was pleased to mention the "honor" of "five-ban Chen Sheng".

Everyone's face was beaming.
