Chapter 455: SKT Top Laner 2nd Generation Vs. 3rd Generation!
Li Zaiwan asked: "Their top laner seems to be called The shy. Is he very strong? Has he caused you a lot of trouble?"
Chen Yiqiu replied: "Yes, he is very strong and talented, and is still in a period of rapid growth."
"But it's not troublesome. I enjoy playing with him."
Li Zaiwan looked at his two top laners and said: "You have to be careful. If you meet IG, you must be careful in the top lane and don't give them a chance."
Soon, the restaurant became lively. With the addition of RW, all four LPL teams arrived.
However, each team occupied a separate place and kept a distance from other teams. There was no intention to sit together.
On the contrary, Top Esports and SKT were like "brother teams" and sat next to each other.
Seeing that the other LPL teams didn't come, Li Zaiwan whispered: "Why do I feel that the atmosphere is not right? Are you being excluded in LPL? You are being excluded."
Little Peanut smiled: "Exclusion? How is that possible? We can't be excluded. Have you ever seen the first place in any division being excluded?"
Soon, someone else came in, but not one team, but four teams!
Dozens of people came in from the restaurant door together. Chen Yiqiu saw that some of them were familiar.
The leader was the FW team, all of whom were old acquaintances. The following three teams were also from the LMS division, but not very familiar.
The LMS was very extreme this season. Only FW stood out. The other teams basically had no sound at all.
After the LMS people came in, they began to look for a place to sit. They noticed Top Esports at first, so they chose to stay away from Top Esports.
But an embarrassing thing happened. The four LPL teams were scattered, and they wanted to avoid all the LPL teams. What should they do?
It seemed that there was nowhere to go. Wherever they went, they had to be close to an LPL team.
Finally, they chose IG!
Perhaps it was because IG's players were relatively young, and except for Rookie, they had never participated in the world competition, so they had no intersection with them.
"Does the LMS region also play in the Intercontinental Championship?" Suddenly, Li Zaiwan's voice came.
Chen Yiqiu responded: "You don't know? The Intercontinental Championship here is played by three regions together, LCK, LPL and LMS."
Li Zaiwan shook his head: "I really don't know, I always thought there were only LCK and LPL. When they discussed in the meeting, they only talked about your LPL, and didn't talk about the LMS region at all."
At this time, Xiaohuasheng also spoke: "In fact, it's the same here. We didn't discuss LMS. If I hadn't seen them participating on the Internet, I wouldn't know about it."
This is a bit embarrassing. Whether it is the LPL region or the LCK region, they didn't take the LMS region seriously.
Soon, the waiter began to serve the dishes, and everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very good.
Suddenly, Chen Yiqiu saw a few acquaintances walking in from the door, also coming to eat.
KZ!
After the KZ team entered the door, they were still looking for a place to sit down. At this time, they noticed Chen Yiqiu and other people from Topbo.
So the KZ team subconsciously chose a table farthest from Topbo to sit down, highlighting their fear.
Seeing this scene, Li Zaiwan laughed: "Hahaha, I found that KZ seemed to be very afraid of you. It should be defeated by you."
Chen Yiqiu smiled and said nothing. If you look at the history of the league, the KZ team is just a flash in the pan. These people have no championship potential, so they don’t need to spend too much energy. They can’t even dominate the LCK region for a long time, let alone compete for the S championship.
A moment later, the GRF and AFS teams also entered the restaurant. Two regions, eight teams are all there!
Just when the atmosphere was a little depressing, two phantoms appeared at the door. Jin Minwo and Zhao Enjing walked in. After entering the door, the GRF, AFS and KZ team subconsciously looked over.
After all, the two are well-known hosts of LCK. They often meet each other during the usual games, and everyone has a good impression of them.
"Over there." Jin Min-wo noticed the location of the Top Esports team and came with Zhao Enjing.
So the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became awkward. How could the famous female host of LCK ignore the LCK team and go directly to Top Esports?
Li Zaiwan laughed: "It seems that you will be hated by all LCK teams. You will attract hatred."
Chen Yiqiu said calmly: "As long as you are strong enough, you are not afraid of attracting hatred."
After dinner, Top Esports returned to their respective rooms to rest. In the afternoon, the twelve teams from the three divisions were taken to the venue for filming. Some materials were taken. In the evening, Top Esports chose to rest and did not continue to arrange training.
The next day, the Intercontinental Championship started.
At the game site, the game had not started yet, and fans lined up outside the scene to enter the venue.
Today and tomorrow are group matches, a total of twelve games, and teams from all three divisions will participate, and then they will be ranked according to points.
Soon, the first game started!
RNG vs. fw!
Before the RNG players went on stage, as comrades in the same division, they naturally had to cheer for RNG.
UZI also made a promise: "Brothers, watch our performance later! Beat up fw!"
Ning cheered: "Oh oh oh! RNG! Come on RNG, I'm your fan!"
Everyone laughed when they saw this scene. Ning has a good personality and is easy to get along with.
Chen Yiqiu and everyone in the LPL were watching the game in the lounge, and RNG and FW players appeared.
There were no surprises in the result. RNG dunked and killed FW!
RNG also specially asked Karsa to play. You must know that Karsa switched from FW to RNG this season. He knows his old teammates like FW quite well, so the fight is very smooth.
Little Peanut commented: "I found that RNG's abuse of food seems to be quite powerful. As long as it keeps the bottom lane and breaks through from the bottom lane, it can quickly destroy the opponent's defense line."
Chen Yiqiu responded: "Well, RNG has a strong desire to attack. When it encounters a weaker team than it, it can end the game quickly."
Soon, everyone in RNG returned to the lounge, walking with wind in their eyes.
Everyone came forward to congratulate:
"Well done to RNG!"
"Nais, what a great start, Uzi is awesome!"
"I feel very stable. Who will play next?"
"We are IG!" Ning stood up, he couldn't wait to take action.
The second game is IG against M17, which is also a team in the LMS division.
Ning also pretended: "Brothers, let's see how we defeat them. We will definitely be faster than RNG."
Letme expressed his dissatisfaction: "You are almost useless. FW is much stronger than this M17. Unless you are faster than us when fighting FW, it doesn't mean anything."
The two teams came on stage, but the game process did not go as smoothly as expected. IG's victory over M17 was not a one-sided crushing. IG gave many opportunities, which caused the normal game to drag on.
Of course, IG won the game in the end, but it just didn’t look good.
Lee Sang Hyuk commented: "IG feels that it lacks a good leader. They always make unnecessary actions that do not bring much benefit but are very risky."
Chen Yiqiu nodded: "Well, that's true, but from a certain point of view, it is difficult to command these five people. No one in the team can completely suppress the others, and it is estimated that no one has this idea. "
"Maybe letting each of them make their own decision is the perfect situation for their team."
While the two were talking, everyone from IG came back, and everyone from LPL came forward to congratulate them.
Although winning is not so beautiful, it is a win after all.
On the contrary, Ning himself felt a little embarrassed: "Here, there seems to be something about these M17s. I thought they were soft persimmons."
Chen Yiqiu joked: "Is it possible that you gave them too many opportunities?"
"It seems... that's the case." Ning scratched his head.
Immediately afterwards, the third game began!
This game is Taobo vs. AFS!
Chen Yiqiu took out his mobile phone and took a look at it, and found that there were some very magical sayings in the Tieba:
[TOP vs. AFS, brothers, here we come! 】
[Isn’t this the second generation of SKT’s top laner versus the third generation? So wonderful? 】
[I heard that Marin originally left after the spring split, but because there was an intercontinental competition and he might meet Chen Sheng, he chose to stay in AFS and finish the summer split. 】
【What the hell? Is there any other way to say this? There is something. 】
[Does Ma Datou want to prove himself? The second generation is greater than the third generation? 】
[That’s almost it. Marin is indeed very strong, but he is not as comprehensive as Chen Sheng. 】
Marin has also accumulated a lot of fans. After all, he is the first top laner FMVP in the history of S game.
In the eyes of the previous generation of top laners, he was a true god.
At the game site, in the commentary box, Wawa and Miller were ready.
I saw the baby commentating: "What is about to be played is the third game on the first day of the intercontinental group stage. Taobo from the LPL division will face AFS from the LCK division!"
Miller continued: "There must be many top laners, especially SKT fans, looking forward to this game, because it is SKT's second-generation top laner Marin versus third-generation top laner Chen Sheng!"
At this moment, the data of Chen Yiqiu and Marin appeared on the big screen, as well as their makeup photos, just on both sides of the screen.
The first is honor. Chen Yiqiu's honor naturally surpasses Marin. After all, he has two S championships, while Marin only has one.
Then there is the career data. Regardless of the hero pool, output ability, and survivability, Chen Yiqiu's lead is very obvious.
However, Marin is also very dominant in the top lane position, but the era of his dominance is different from that of Chen Yiqiu.
The follow-up was to play the wonderful scenes of the two people's careers. Marin went up to the sky for another 20 seconds, and Sword Girl reversed the team battle.
Chen Yiqiu's included more "The Last Precise Etiquette", "Kassadin, the Promised Level 16", and "Illaoi Cross-Border Belief".
Wawa explained: "With the exciting music, we briefly reviewed the careers of the two top laners in the world. Now, they stand on the stage together and will face off. Let us look forward to their performance! "
Immediately afterwards, the players from both sides appeared on the stage, with top laners leading the way. The director gave a close-up of Chen Yiqiu and Marin, creating an atmosphere of a fateful duel.
Chen Yiqiu stood on the stage, enjoying the cheers of the audience below.
At this moment, he noticed Marin's gaze, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Players from both sides are in place and entering the BP phase of the game!
Taobao is on the red side and AFS is on the blue side.
This game is not stressful for Taobo. After all, AFS is ranked third in the LCK.
Hongmi walked up behind Chen Yiqiu and asked, "What are you going to do on the road this time?"
Little Peanut interjected: "Brother Yiqiu, we support you to go on the road to compete. You can play whatever you want!"
Chen Wei also came out to cheer Chen Yiqiu: "Come on Chen Sheng! We are all your audience in this game, little fans, let's watch your performance."
Chen Yiqiu smiled: "Are you so unsure of me? Just fight normally."
AFS chose to target the middle lane in BP, and BAN dropped Galio, Zoe and Rock Bird.
Seeing this scene, the doll commentator said: "Hey, the AFS BAN people are interesting. They actually released all the top lane heroes. What kind of trick is this?"
Miller analyzed: "Is it because there is a lot of pressure in the middle? We all know that Kuro is a famous 'technophobia' patient. If we don't help him ban a few mid lane heroes, he may feel that he can't play. In comparison, the top order situation may be better.”
Entering the hero selection stage, the blue side's AFS locked Qinggang Shadow on the first floor.
This deceived everyone in Taobo.
Little Peanut became excited: "What do you mean? Marin, what does he mean? Brother Yiqiu, he wants to challenge you and steal your signature Qinggangying!"
Chen Yiqiu smiled when he saw this and said nothing. Although it seemed that the other person had this idea, was this really the case? It’s hard to say yet, I’m afraid there’s still the possibility of a change of formation, so there’s no rush.
It was Taobo's turn to choose Hongmi and asked: "Do you want to grab the top laner first? They may ban the top laner later, and you may not be able to get the hero you want in the second round."
Chen Yiqiu then said: "Come on, give me a promise."
Little Peanut started to cheer: "Oh! Brother Yiqiu's Nuoshou! I finally saw Brother Yiqiu playing Nuoshou!"
"To be honest, I've wanted to see you play this hero for a long time. Nowadays, many top laners are playing Nuoshou in the game, but the effect seems to be average, so I still have to let Brother Yiqiu do it."
Chen Yiqiu explained: "Professional players will pull, so it is difficult for Nuoshou to achieve the effect of five consecutive splits in the passerby game. It is normal."
Little Peanut responded: "But Brother Yiqiu is different. I'm ready to call Ness. Brother Yiqiu, come on!"
Taobo locked Nuoshou on the first floor, and the audience was shocked:
"I'll go, what's going on? Tao Bo's promise? Is Chen Sheng going to kill everyone?"
"Here we come! I finally see Chen Sheng playing with his hand, chop it up for me!"
"Wash your neck and wait for me on the other side!"
"Ruthless iron hand, killing everyone!"
In the commentary box, Wawa explained: "Is it actually the Nuo player? And it is the Nuo player who is locked on the first floor. Although the opponent has already confirmed the top laner Qinggangying, it takes courage to choose the Nuo player so early."
"Because Nuoshou is a hero that can easily be kited. If the opponent sees you picking Nuoshou, they may choose a very mobile lineup, which will make it uncomfortable."
Miller affirmed: "That's right, the top laner in this game is Qinggang Shadow Danuo. It is unlikely that these two heroes will develop peacefully. Only those who are alive cannot last up the damage!"
BP is still going on, Taobo got Pig Girl on the second floor, and it's AFS's turn to choose.
Miller explained: "AFS has locked Lucian and Niutou on the second and third floors. This bottom lane combination is very aggressive. AFS's midfielder has not yet been determined. Taobao has the counter position on the fifth floor. I guess it will be given to Faker. player."
Wawa then said: "Taobo got Xialuo on the third and fourth floors. Sure enough, the counter position on the fifth floor is for the middle lane. Now it depends on what Kuro chooses in the middle lane. We all know that he has phobia. , and now I have to be beaten by Conte, which should be a lot of pressure." (End of this chapter)
