Chapter 730: The First Year of E-Sports

The end of TI6 also represents the last peak of CNDOTA.

After winning the championship, Wings quickly disintegrated due to internal conflicts.

After that, CNDOTA became worse and worse every year, and often at the end, only the only LGD was left struggling to move forward.

The glory is gone!

From then on, every time there is a TI, CNDOTA will think of the team that once carried the expectations of all Chinese DOTA players and won the championship.

Year after year, never forget it!

In addition to DOTA, GAG also began to enter the dark age in S4.

The anti-Korean cause has begun.

The Emperor Star, who won two world championships in a row, was able to reach the quarterfinals in S3, but it was completely weak in S4. It was hard to get a ticket, but in the end it could only make it to the top 16.

As for the remaining teams such as IG, EDG, RNG, WE, and LGD, they are constantly breaking the bottom line.

Every year, they call GPL the first division, every year MSI shines, and every year S game aims at the top 16.

Starting from S4.

The Korean division began to dominate the GAG ​​project.

That year, Samsung defeated a strong opponent and won the first championship since its establishment.

Players around the world have witnessed the terrifying dominance of the Korean division in the GAG ​​project.

It was also from this year that the original rise of Chinese aid gradually faded, and Korean aid began to become popular instead.

In S5 and S6, after SKT won two consecutive championships, it began to become a new dynasty. Faker ascended to the throne and replaced Lu Zibo as the world's No. 1 mid laner.

In the past two years, the performance of the GPL division has become worse and worse. It is worth celebrating to enter the quarterfinals. It is difficult to see the figure of the GPL team in the semifinals, while the Korean team is there every year. Europe and North America rotate constantly. As for Southeast Asia, it is basically not worth mentioning.

S7 is the most silent year for GPL.

All Chinese teams were eliminated in the Bird's Nest that year, and finally ushered in a double-Korea showdown.

It was also because of this game that the next year, when Mo Yu went to rent the Bird's Nest to prepare for TI6, he spent a lot of effort to finally negotiate a cooperation.

Back to the Bird's Nest in S7 in 2014.

The scene of the civil war between the two Korean teams made the entire Chinese division completely silent. The last fig leaf seemed to be torn off, and the scene became a sea of ​​cheers for the Korean team.

In the Bird's Nest, the capital of a country, there was not a Chinese team!

This was the saddest and most tragic year, but it was also perhaps this year that made the GPL division feel the pain, began to endure hardships, and fought back.

Although the attitude of the big brother Dixing is no longer there, and Lu Zibo has become an old senior, his own operation has not declined at all, and he is still the feared old god in the middle.

Zhang Zhaoyang continued to form a brand new Dixing team with Lu Zibo as the center to fight in the new season. The performance was brilliant, and there was a faint reappearance of the ancient glory.

However.

The protagonist that year was not Dixing, but the IG of all reckless men.

After leaving IG from the decline of WE, that man began his own performance.

Theshy made his mark in the S7 season, and won the third place in the 2014 GPL Summer Season with his team, and the fourth place in the 2015 GPL Spring Season in S8; in July, he won the 2015 Asian Challenge Championship with his team; in September, he won the runner-up in the 2015 LPL Summer Season with his team.

Although IG was very strong at that time, it was still not the team with the highest voice to win the GPL championship that year.

Because there were EDG and RNG that year, and every team was as good as them.

However, until entering South Korea, like a long-hidden beast, IG's reckless blood was completely awakened!

It was not obvious in the group stage, especially after losing two games in a row to the European champion FNC, which made it fall into overwhelming doubts.

In the quarterfinals, it was divided into the same half of the two favorites to win the championship that year, KT and RNG.

At that time, no one thought that IG could qualify, and the most optimistic fans did not dare to say that they were determined that IG would definitely break through the siege and complete the promotion.

However, this IG has completely transformed in silence. They don't eat or sleep all day long. The crazy training has made them reach a new peak without knowing it, a peak that can crush all the teams in S8!

Just when the outside world thought that IG could not defeat KT, IG began its journey to the top.

In the first game, IG was at a disadvantage, but they continuously organized attacks to complete the counterattack. The big dragon even killed KT, until KT was killed for the second time on the high ground, and IG won the first victory.

In this game, IG became more and more fierce, driving on the high ground, A Shui sacrificed to the sky, and being anxious to get off work became a label on IG.

The third game was the most thrilling battle.

At the end of the two teams, even the director thought IG was going to win. The screen was cut to when Theshy Sword Princess stole the home, but in the end, he lost the game because he was a little slow.

Perhaps because of the pressure in the third game, IG lost even more miserably in the fourth game and was crushed throughout the whole process.

So far, the two sides have a 2-2 tie.

When almost everyone thought KT was going to perform a miracle of coming back from 2-0 down to 3-0 down, IG performed their miracle.

When Rouji left the game without buying any equipment, everyone felt the huge pressure from IG players, but under the pressure, IG showed amazing strength.

Ning Wang ganked three lanes, helping his teammates gain a huge advantage.

Ashui's flash forward, which cost him his entire career, made players around the world exclaim, and the heavens responded with four consecutive crits.

In the end, IG defeated the strongest enemy, GCK's top seed KT team, and advanced in one fell swoop.

Then, with EDG and RNG all eliminated, IG entered the semifinals and began their journey to super godhood.

In the semifinals, IG faced G2.

In the first game, IG attacked from the beginning to the end, turning G2's ultimate rush into the formation into an ultimate escape flow.

In the second game, Ashui's EZ sacrificed to the heavens, and IG began to show off.

Theshy's Jayce in the top lane performed a one-on-five attack, making G2 headshot and flee without any ability to fight back.

It was also in this game that I remember shouting the bold words "If God hadn't given birth to me, Theshy, the GPL top laner would be like a long night forever."

Soon the third game started.

Theshy's voice had just fallen when the river sword demon god descended to earth and hammered four people, completely making Theshy the big daddy in the top lane.

The Sword Demon in that game simply struck the hearts of all players, making people passionate and unable to stop.

After a hearty victory over G2 with a score of 3-0.

IG was only one away from the championship, FNC, who had lost to them in two consecutive games in the group stage.

There was no Zhong in the Bird's Nest, and there was no Han in Incheon.

Facing FNC, IG won the first game in less than 30 minutes. CAPS's mid-lane Irelia was really beaten into a little sister.

The second game.

FNC's top single Crab became a breakthrough.

Theshy must have Ning Wang within three steps. The two worked together to directly beat Crab into a clown. His mentality was completely broken and he had to leave the game and replace him with a substitute.

The third game.

After the mid and top lanes were all cleared once, it was finally the turn of the bottom lane to start the drama.

A Shui Kaisha won 5-0 and directly broke through FNC's bottom lane.

The final game ended in 25 minutes.

3-0 again!

First beat G2, then beat FNC, this year's European championship dream completely fell at the feet of IG!

IG never works overtime!

In China, after several years of silence, GPL finally won the championship again.

Everyone was cheering and celebrating the joy of winning the championship!

Countless new players flocked to GAG.

The first year of e-sports begins from now on! (End of this chapter)
