Chapter 311 SKT First Generation Top Laner vs SKT Third Generation Top Laner! Chen Yiqiu: Don’t Brag for Me

Ponytail nodded thoughtfully and gave a high evaluation: "It's well-deserved."

The assistant stuck out his tongue and thought, idol, I can only help you up to this point.

...

That night, the entire LPL seemed to be plunged into darkness. Although people cursed and talked, EDG was the top powerhouse in the LPL region after all. Losing for two consecutive days at home was an unspeakable blow and frustration to everyone.

Fortunately, the other two LPL teams performed well this year, and EDG has not lost its last chance to turn the tables.

The next day, the third day of the 2017 World Finals group stage was also the penultimate day of the first round of this year's group stage.

Up to now, the warm-up of S7 has officially come to an end, and then a more intense life-and-death battle will begin.

Of course, the so-called life-and-death battle, the word "life and death" is relative.

For SKT now, they have won two games and now firmly grasp the top spot in Group A. If they win again today, they will most likely lock in a place in the quarterfinals in advance, unless they lose three games in a row in the second round.

But this should be impossible for SKT.

After all, they are not EDG...

"Ah, it's time for my favorite holiday again."

Walking into the venue to check in, Bae Jun-sik stretched lazily, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

This made several of his friends nearby very confused. Li Zaiwan asked bluntly: "Junzhi, did we sleep together last night? Or did you sneak out to find your girlfriend in the middle of the night?"

"......." Pei Junzhi was stunned and said in a literary way: "Why do you say that?"

"Your dark circles are probably really going to be sucked dry, right?"

Chen Yiqiu said simply and rudely: "I tell you, if we lose the game because of you, don't blame me for pulling it off for your brother to play the pipa."

"????"

Pei Junzhi's face flushed: "Vulgar, vulgar, Yiqiu, watch your resin!"

"Although C9 advanced from the qualifying round, this team can enter the S game every year. It is also a perennial T1 team in North America. Don't be careless, everyone."

Li Xianghe heard that several teammates were still joking, and immediately stopped everything seriously.

"Tsk, Sang Hyuk, you're just a boring guy. We were just joking. Don't be so nervous. We have no rivals in the group stage."

When several people saw Lee Sang Hyuk's state, they were a little bored.

Since the end of today's game, Lee Sang Hyuk has been like this. When reviewing the game, he always had a sullen face, as if they didn't win, but lost.

In fact, Kkoma's words may be the only one who listened to him.

Lee Sang Hyuk should know better than anyone what the team is like in this summer season. So he has proposed to strengthen training more than once, which has caused Bae Junzhi and Lee Jae Wan to murmur.

Not to mention the two of them, even Peanut, who has always been a fanboy, can't stand this high-intensity training.

But the intensity of training has increased, but the strength of the team has not increased as significantly as before.

This casts a shadow on Lee Sang Hyuk's heart.

Yesterday, this shadow became a reality.

After completing the 10,000 economic reversal and the team battle, Li Xianghe was so excited that he couldn't help but cheer and celebrate with his teammates, but after calming down, he was full of fear and worry.

Fear that if the "luck" in the team battle is not so good, worrying about whether SKT in this state really has the strength to compete for this year's world championship?

Yes, in the eyes of the outside world, the dominance has risen to a historical high, and even the invincible SKT with a little metaphysical buff, but in the hearts of the insiders, it is more like a balloon that has not been punctured.

The balloon flies high, but there will always be a day when it will be punctured and deflated.

In order to prevent that day from happening, Li Xianghe's entire mood and attitude are now unusually serious and focused.

"Don't worry, we will go to the end."

Seeing this, Chen Yiqiu patted Li Xianghe on the shoulder.

As a good friend, what he can do now is to play every game as well as possible and try to let SKT go further. As for whether he can finally break into the Bird's Nest and defend the championship, it is beyond human control.

"Well, get ready."

When Li Xianghe heard Chen Yiqiu's voice, the sense of urgency in his heart was slightly relaxed. He said nothing more and lowered his head to organize his peripherals.

...

At the same time.

C9 backstage lounge.

"Guys, we are about to meet SKT. I want to interview you. How do you feel now?"

C9's manager stood at the door, with at least five or six cameras placed beside him, all aimed at C9's teammates. The scene was so big that it was embarrassing.

And C9 has been waiting for this day for a long time.

It is well known that C9 is SKT's most loyal fan, and in the current e-sports circle, it is even more proud to be able to establish a relationship with SKT. C9 will play against SKT for the first time in this year's S game, so naturally it will not miss this opportunity to make a living.

In contrast, in terms of the ability to make a living, the Asian division is unilaterally crushed by Europe and the United States.

"Let me say a few words first."

The cross-dressing guy from C9 stood up and faced the camera, gesticulating and saying, "You know, we are good friends with SKT. My two favorite players are serving in SKT. You know who I'm talking about, of course, our greatest mid and top laners, Faker and Reaper."

"I was shocked by the excitement of yesterday's game. To be honest, we don't have much confidence facing SKT today, but... that doesn't prevent us from defeating them."

Pa pa pa pa.

Amid the thunderous applause, someone shouted, "Brother, you're right!"

"Now, facing the camera, do you have anything to say to SKT and your two idols? These documentaries will be broadcast later."

The manager was fanning the flames.

"I want to say something." The cross-dressing man pointed at the camera and wiped his neck: "SKT, prepare to die!"

"This year's God-killing mission starts with us!"

"Oh~"

"666."

"Brothers, kill the gods, we ourselves are gods!"

The C9 training room was in chaos backstage, and the atmosphere was hot, which was in sharp contrast to SKT.

Five minutes later, both sides were notified and took the stage one by one.

…

"Welcome back, this is the 2017 World Finals, Wuhan, China."

"Hello everyone, I am Ze Yuan, the commentator of this game."

"I remember."

"Hello everyone, I am Rita."

The camera turned, and three LPL commentators appeared in front of the camera in formal suits with smiles on their faces.

"After the intense and tense last game, the points table of each group has been initially released. For the two teams in Group A that are about to appear, today's game is also crucial."

"Yes, at present, SKT is absolutely dominant, leading 2/0 and ranking first. Today is their last game in the first round of the S7 group stage this year. If they can win, they will achieve a good record of winning all the games in the group stage."

"Similarly, C9's points are behind SKT. If they can beat SKT, it will have a huge impact on their second round of group stage and even the qualifying form."

Several commentators briefly analyzed the current qualifying situation of Group A, and then the camera turned to the BP interface as the director notified them.

In this game, SKT is on the blue side and C9 is on the red side.

From the distribution point of view, this game is actually not favorable to C9. The disadvantage of the red side's natural lack of a ban position has been infinitely magnified in the S game, becoming more and more deformed and serious.

So when it comes to banning people, C9 obviously seems a little hesitant.

Because no matter which one is banned, other heroes will be released.

Especially the top lane that they all agreed to target, how can it be so easy to target?

In the end, after discussion, C9 still banned Jayce, Shen, and Spear of Vengeance.

The first two are the most popular heroes that Chen Yiqiu has used recently, and the last one is a ban position that the red side cannot help.

In comparison, SKT is much more conventional.

They banned Lulu, Xia, and Galio respectively.

They are all very popular heroes in the version.

"In this case, both sides still have a lot of heroes released. C9 finally chose the package of Jayce + Shen, so there are still a lot of Reaper skilled carry top laners out there..."

Guan Zeyuan looked at the big screen, his tone couldn't help but get excited, and shouted: "Can we see that hero appear?"

That hero, which hero?

In Reaper's hero pool, there is only that one who can be compared with Jayce and Shen.

"In this version... Fiora has basically not been on the field."

Jide took a breath next to him: "Will there be a chance to see her?"

"I think there should be. Reaper's personality is the kind of personality that likes to challenge the limit. Since there is a chance to use it in this game... I think it is unlikely that he will not use it with his style..."

Rita also blinked.

If Qing Gangying rarely plays in this version, then Fiora is a hero that is even "colder" than Qing Gangying.

Today's game is crucial. Will SKT directly choose her?

Without giving everyone too much time to guess, SKT quickly revealed the answer--

"Sharp sword, sharp eyes."

Unparalleled Fiora-Fiona!

"Fiora, the first floor locked Fiora in seconds, it's still the familiar SKT, it's still the familiar Reaper, Chen Sheng!!"

As soon as the hero appeared, the whole audience instantly climaxed.

The barrage was full of [Here he comes, he's coming! ], and the scene at Wuhan Sports Center also set off a wave.

"Wow... brother, he really picked Fiora, you're in trouble now."

The cross-dressing man said to the team's top laner Impact.

As the first-generation top laner of SKT and the real "big brother" of Lee Sang-hyuk, Impact just smiled and said in a rather pretentious way: "Reaper is my junior."

Everyone: "..."

"There is an old Chinese saying." The team's jungler said: "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves."

"The front waves are lined up on the beach."

"Impact, I think you will be the one who is hit on the beach, what do you think?"

"Fuck."

Impact didn't say much, just gave his teammates a middle finger, and then said confidently: "Give me the Twilight Eye."

"Oh, Impact is serious! Brothers, let's wait and see!"

When everyone heard this, they stopped joking.

Shen is a signature hero of Oak. He once cut the LPL top laner and ran away. This time, it can be seen that no matter what Impact said on the surface, he must be a little nervous in his heart.

"Okay, take the Twilight Eye."

The coach trusted the players very much and nodded when he heard it. C9 got the Tristana on the first floor and directly locked Shen on the second floor.

"Shen... It seems that the top lane in this game will not be peaceful."

Seeing this, Guan Zeyuan exclaimed.

"The top duel between the new and old generations of SKT top laners!"

I remember being very excited: "This kind of scene is rare."

"Yes... let's see here... SKT got the mid laner Clockwork again... it seems that Faker still has to rely on him to drag the bottom."

In the BP interface, after C9 determined its first two choices, SKT got Clockwork and Jungle Prince respectively.

These two choices, the first Clockwork immediately reminded everyone of the ascended Clockwork yesterday.

After this battle, Faker's Clockwork has been labeled as invincible in team battles, and anyone who sees it will shudder in their hearts.

C9 is no exception, but fortunately the heroes released in this game are very big. Seeing that the opponent chose Clockwork, they took Syndra in return.

The main focus is on early oppression, trying to establish their own advantages in the early stage.

In this way, the two sides went back and forth, and the game lineup was quickly settled.

Blue side SKT: top lane Fiora, jungle Prince, mid lane Clockwork, bottom lane Policewoman + Wind Girl

Red side C9: top lane Shen, jungle Lee Sin, mid lane Syndra, bottom lane Tristana + Fan Ma.

The lineups of both teams are determined and the loading screen is entered.

At the same time.

The LPL people in the audience and backstage, as well as Ponytail and others all raised their heads, ready to appreciate the first collision between the new and old SKT top laners in S7.

…

"By the way, Brother Yanyong is still the same. Most people will play a single like Void Terror in the autumn, which is the best."

When entering the Summoner's Rift and SKT gathered together to do vision, Li Zaiwan couldn't help but mutter.

"That's right, Brother Yanyong has been this style in North America for so many years. He should also be looking forward to this matchup."

Pei Junzhi nodded.

In terms of seniority, Da Mu can really be regarded as the elder brother of the two of them. After all, when the former won the world championship with SKT, the Wolf Club combination was still unknown.

"Well... he can't beat Yiqiu."

Li Xianghe put the wards in place, thought for a moment and said, "They are not the same type of players."

"Oh?"

Everyone looked at him sideways.

"Yiqiu has been relying on personal ability since his debut. Brother Yanyong has long passed that age, and when he was at his strongest, he and Yiqiu were not the same type of players."

Li Xianghe explained.

This is also a way to improve the morale of the team.

As the only person who had been teammates with Da Mu and won the championship, he knew the other party's level back then.

Very good, but compared to talent and operation, it is really far behind Chen Yiqiu.

Not to mention that so many years have passed now, it can only be said that this game is a success if it is not defeated.

Chen Yiqiu has been listening without saying anything, but at this moment he couldn't help but "scold" Li Xianghe: "Enough, don't brag for me!" (End of this chapter)
