Chapter 287 Now Is the Fantasy Moment! SKT vs RNG, Sharp Review: Good Guys, Professional Match
“…Yi Qiu, why don’t you respond to this?”
The current SKT is full of old Chinese people who can understand most Chinese, so they heard the audience around them crying so miserably and the young lady’s cry was so distressing.
For a moment, they all forgot their own position and looked at Chen Yi Qiu one by one.
When Chen Yi Qiu heard these words, he was actually very confused. LPL lost, so how could it be related to me?
It’s wrong for me to win LPL, and it’s also wrong for LPL to lose.
Thinking like this, he can understand the mood and feelings of ordinary audiences.
After all, the behavior of the competition area has nothing to do with ordinary water friends and audiences. On the contrary, as a player who has played in LPL and has experience, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the audience of LPL. All the audiences who like him have the same status in his heart.
It’s not easy to say more about this sensitive topic. He can only wave to the crowd: "It will be better later. Come on, LPL."
"You all go back and rest. It’s not safe to go out at night."
Hua La La
"......!"
After saying these words, he had already boarded the bus, and the sound after that could no longer be heard.
But one could feel the LPL audience's emotions of being touched and excited.
"Yi Qiu, do you really think LPL can advance to the finals?"
Li Zai Wan asked beside him.
"Maybe."
Chen Yi Qiu nodded and said, "According to LPL's strength, it would be strange if they couldn't advance."
"I think so too."
Little Peanut beside him nodded.
...
At the same time.
Chen Yi Qiu did not misjudge the reaction of the LPL audience.
Not only did they express their excitement at the scene, but when the SKT team returned to the hotel one after another, the forum that was originally full of abuse also appeared in the forum about him comforting the LPL audience outside the stadium after the game.
There was even a video shot by the person involved with a mobile phone uploaded.
For a moment, the heat exploded.
[I cried, Chen Sheng is always so gentle. ]
[Come back, my Chen Sheng. 】
【A new driver this year. I used to hate Reaper and thought he didn't return to China for the sake of grades and honors. But after understanding him, I realized how wronged Chen Sheng was. Today, I saw this video... I have nothing to say. No matter on the field or on the field, he is the number one god! 】
【Those LPL teams and officials, look at this, look at Reaper's pattern, and then look at yours. 】
【To be honest, seeing the collective death of LPL today, there was really a moment when I imagined how good it would be if Chen Sheng was still in LPL. Would those top laners from other regions dare to be so arrogant? 】
【Now is the fantasy moment! 】
【Yes, I'm talking about Letme, Xiyang, and A Guang, these trash! 】
【——LPL has never been a top lane desert because of Reaper's existence. 】
【From today on, I will become a die-hard fan of Reaper, Huang Za Go! 】
【……】
The crowd was excited. LPL's performance on the second day of the Asian Challenge was so bad that many viewers had already begun to fantasize about Chen Yiqiu's return and gave up the previous criticism of Reaper under the public opinion.
In fact, after such a long time, many old viewers knew that Reaper's existence had, in a sense, become the last fig leaf of the LPL region.
——Although he is not in the LPL region, he is Chinese, and this can never be changed.
So even if LPL is really rotten, as long as Reaper still maintains his aura, the outside world will not dare to despise LPL too much.
…
"It's funny to let an "outsider" help us save face when the game has reached this level."
That night, in the hotel, the LPL training room.
No one went to rest and sleep. Today's record of losing all four games has deeply hurt everyone. Even players who have no sense of honor in the region cannot accept such an outrageous Waterloo result in their own region.
And through the public opinion on the Internet, when everyone saw that all the LPL viewers were actually "pray" to Reaper, the feeling of being humiliated became even more serious.
This is equivalent to being cheated in front of everyone, and that feeling made everyone feel angry.
"Chen Yiqiu is Chinese, but he is also an LCK player. He plays for the LCK region and SKT, not any of our LPL teams."
Jin Yibo violated the rules and appeared in the big training room tonight. He looked around at everyone and said in a loud voice: "So, our failure has made an "outsider" so glorious, don't you have anything to reflect on?"
"For this intercontinental competition, all of our efforts are obvious to all. I know that you can't accept the current situation, so, do you have any objections to extra training tonight?"
"No!"
Everyone in LPL answered in unison.
"Okay."
Jin Yibo looked at everyone and said, "We must eliminate LMS in this semifinal. If we fail, then... all our efforts and investment over the years will go to waste, and it will be more like a joke."
After saying that, Jin Yibo did not stay any longer. It was a bit against the rules for him, an official boss, to come here in person, so he should try to be more discreet.
And what he said was not alarmist.
How much money and energy has LPL invested in its development over the years since its establishment? In the end, if they can't even beat a provincial division, it would be a joke. Apart from anything else, Jin Yibo himself would have to commit suicide on the spot to apologize.
Other teams and players participating in the battle will not have a good result either.
So, the LPL training room was sleepless that night.
…
The next day.
The day of the semi-finals of the Asian Challenge.
SKT and LCK did not have a schedule today, so they chose to watch today's semi-finals in the hotel.
It's not impossible to go to the scene, but the coaching staff needs to record the advantages and disadvantages of the two major divisions and the various key points of today's game in real time. After all, it is not as convenient to be on the scene as in the hotel's training room.
After a short opening ceremony, the first BO5 game started soon.
It was not until the eve of the game that the two major divisions reported their first team to the official.
EDGvsAAHQ.
This was a game that was highly anticipated before the game.
After all, no matter what, AHQ has always been known as EDG's own son.
But EDG's performance was not satisfactory. It was good in the early stage, but when it came to the team battle, AHQ gained the advantage several times, which made EDG more and more difficult to play in the later stage.
EDG's new top singler Audi performed well and fully inherited the excellent qualities of the factory manager. The two of them combined, Audi double diamond, the factory's partner, and the main game was who could run faster than who.
The game was once fiercely fought until the beginning of 60 minutes, and EDG lost to AHQ in a surprise defeat.
LMS took the lead in getting off to a good start in BO5, and the LMS fans at the scene in Kaohsiung went crazy.
In contrast, the LPL audience has completely broken down.
"Brother, do you still think highly of LPL?"
In the hotel.
Peanut sat next to Chen Yiqiu and asked when he saw this.
"Well, EDG is not in a good state today."
Chen Yiqiu nodded.
In the 2017 Intercontinental Championship semifinals, the LPL region was not in a good state. It should be related to the tight schedule. After all, the sequelae of yesterday's consecutive defeats were too big, and it was not something that could be eliminated.
"Let's watch the next game."
The second game of Tian Ji Horse Racing, OMG vs FW.
This game was called more heavyweight by the audience, but in fact, when the LPL region sent OMG to the field, it was determined to exchange the weak for the strong.
FW is a frequent visitor to the world flash after all. OMG, a team that has not advanced to the S game for several years, is the weakest brother in the LPL region this year.
It is worth using him to kill FW.
At the end of the second game, LPL was 0/2 behind LMS. The scene could not be called crazy. Even Chen Yiqiu was watching with his eyelids twitching.
This scene was too explosive and the tolerance rate was too low. If the remaining teams in the LPL did not perform well, it might directly ruin the reputation of the entire region.
Fortunately, RNG and WE did not disappoint. The two teams ranked in the top two of LPL this year finally showed their due strength in desperate situations and defeated M17 and FW respectively.
The two sides tied 2-2. In the end, LPL sent WE, who was in the best condition today, and LMS sent Flash Wolves to fight for the final decisive battle.
This game was also very tense. In the late stage, the head ratio of the two sides was less than two, but WE had a better economy. After a late team battle, it led FW by 9,000 economy. In the end, it pushed FW's crystal base to the ground amid the shouting of all LPL audiences.
3-2 advanced to the finals, and LPL survived this level.
"Ah, it was so hard to watch."
The old captain of KT, who witnessed the whole game today, sighed and shook his head.
"It's OK, LPL played very well, Yiqiu was right."
Xiaohuasheng was watching with great interest, because this kind of back-and-forth game actually looks more enjoyable to watch, especially when it comes to the important finals spot, he will subconsciously worry about the players on the field.
"Then our opponent is confirmed...LPL, which is similar to our previous prediction. Everyone cheer up and prepare for the final battle."
The KT coach clapped his hands, and everyone stood up and prepared for training.
The coaching team had to find a good Tian Ji horse racing plan in a short time.
This is also the most interesting part of the Intercontinental Championship. If the tactics are done well, even if the strength is slightly worse, there is a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Only a few people from Kkoma stayed in SKT, and Chen Yiqiu and others returned to the room to start training.
At the same time.
The scene in Kaohsiung.
After finally advancing to the finals, the LPL people breathed a sigh of relief, and began to release smoke bombs to the media and the outside world.
The so-called smoke bomb is to cooperate with the coaching team to engage in psychological warfare with LCK first.
For example, when being interviewed, EDG's manager said bluntly: "I hope we can be arranged to play against SKT in the finals. We really want revenge."
RNG's Uzi said: "We also want to meet SKT, and we want to fight Reaper in the bottom lane again."
The other two teams that did not meet SKT in the group stage also made similar remarks.
In short, the meaning is one thing - LCK, you have to think clearly, we all want to play against SKT, think about how to arrange SKT, and don't let OMG meet them in the end.
The LCK did not comment much on this, because in their opinion, the LCK is indeed too strong this year, not only SKT, but KT is also facing an almost invincible team in the LPL.
"We will play our own games. As long as we can protect SKT and KT tomorrow, we will be basically stable."
...
"Is this really okay?"
"The most feasible way for us to play is actually to let OMG play against SKT, but KT is also a problem. Can RNG play against KT?"
LPL training room.
After the LPL team came back, they didn't have time to celebrate, and they were already involved in the deployment of tomorrow's finals.
As for saying that everyone wants to meet SKT... What a joke, only ghosts want to meet SKT!
That is to confuse the opponent. In fact, for tomorrow's LPL, the best plan is for OMG to play against SKT.
As the saying goes, OMG is the scapegoat. Although it is sad, there is no reason to refute it.
"We... don't know. It all depends on the state of the day."
Feng Ge was a little hesitant.
"... Anyway, if OMG doesn't meet SKT, then EDG, if WE and RNG meet, then... let's try not to have any regrets."
The cards in your hand are always limited. The opponent has two trump cards, and you can barely count as one and a half trump cards. No matter how you count, you are missing something.
But it doesn't matter. LPL is not afraid of playing this kind of psychological warfare.
In this way, the two major regions were secretly speculating on the opponent's lineup tomorrow. Time flies, and finally arrived at the opening day of the finals.
After the grand opening ceremony, the first game of the finals BO5 began.
In today's first game, LPL still sent EDG first, and LCK sent Samsung.
For this combination, everyone was a little nervous before the game, but LPL was very excited.
Because according to their predictions and training game results during this period, EDG can definitely beat Samsung. In addition to Samsung, it is MVP. In short, as long as they meet these two teams, EDG has completed their mission today.
As expected, the EDG in this game was completely different from the EDG in the previous group stage and semi-finals. The fierce ganking of the factory manager and the team battle of Zet were not bad. In the end, the whole venue was left with Miller's words "Kill the ruler, kill the ruler".
EDG "unexpectedly" defeated SSG, and LPL actually won one point first.
Then in the second game, LPL unexpectedly sent OMG, and LCK sent one of the strongest teams in the region, KT, which is the best at playing LPL.
This time, even the audience couldn't hold it.
It is a perfect solution to replace SKT with OMG, but if KT can be replaced, it is also OK!
It can be said that everyone in OMG lost this game with a smile, and this is also the easiest game they lost in this year's Intercontinental Championship.
The two sides tied 1:1, but at this time, one of the LCK trump cards had been replaced, and only MVP and SKT were left.
And LPL had two trump cards, WE and RNG.
The worst result is that both sides can play the whole BO5.
Kkoma had already suggested in the background that SKT should play in the third game. No matter what, it is always dangerous to let the opponent lead by two points.
But the Intercontinental Championship is not a team competition, but a whole division. After listening and discussing, the other coaching teams could not make up their minds for a long time between MVP and SKT.
In the end, it seemed to be the influence of the butterfly effect. LCK finally decided to send SKT, the strongest big brother in the division.
LPL sent RNG.
When the logos of these two teams appeared on the big screen, the whole venue was boiling.
——LPL: "It's over, this time we will be suppressed by SKT for the rest of our lives."
——LCK: "Good guy, professional match."
