Chapter 228 Chasing the Figure Named Faker

"First-person perspective! Guigui, he's still cutting!"

In the camera, Li Xianghe was moving to avoid the skill, and he cut the screen to take a look at 369 who was running away.

He turned around and threw a yellow card and continued to run.

"No, he really cut a little too much, he shouldn't cut again later. Still cutting, still cutting!"

"Fuck. I'm a little dizzy watching it." Xika covered his forehead, a little confused. "What is he cutting? Aren't all his teammates gone?"

"He just wanted to cut, how can I say? He should feel no pressure."

"I know that Faker has to cut all the time when playing games, but he has to cut when he's escaping at the limit, it doesn't make sense." Xika thought, "Just the escape just now, many people can't do it with full attention, the details are full, and it's really difficult to react on the spot."

"It's really difficult, but for Faker, it seems a bit easy."

The relaxed expression of Li Xianghe in front of the camera and the expression of Keria just now, as if he was going to "warn, warn" in the next second, formed a sharp contrast.

This is not escaping at all, but strolling in the garden.

In the first perspective, after Li Xianghe calmly cut the screen again, a red card was thrown out.

Then his expression lit up.

That calm expression seemed to be more relaxed than the socialites walking in the city in the business district.

From the scene, DRX was hurt in this wave, but it was not unacceptable.

More importantly, it had an impact on the mentality of the four young players born in the 2000s.

Although Deft has been comforting his teammates.

But Deft himself is not a player who is very good at commanding the team.

Although he is experienced, commanding requires talent.

And there are many limitations to commanding in the AD position. ADC rarely acts as the initiator of the team's rhythm.

The impact on the mentality made the thinking and response speed of the other young people in DRX obviously slow down a lot.

This made them suffer a big loss in the next operation rhythm.

"Oh, we're going to catch Card, but Faker already knew it in advance. He took down the upper second tower and ran back, using his ultimate."

"If those three people go to catch Faker, then the middle lane tower will be lost for nothing? TES is operating!"

"It feels like these DRX players have fainted and have been being carried."

After the last wave, TES was completely free of pressure on the dragon.

And DRX's wonderful non-core lineup is very good at teamfights, but it has no ability to rush the dragon.

And DRX's lineup is not good at actively starting a teamfight. It can only wait for the opponent to start a teamfight, then fight back, or rely on neutral resources to force a teamfight, in order to win the game.

Li Xianghe is of course very clear about the limitations of the DRX lineup. While performing high-intensity screen cutting, he commanded the team to start constantly changing lanes and exchange resources.

DRX tried every means to limit the role of Faker's Card in the laning phase, but Card is never good in the early stage.

Li Xianghe's rich experience easily dragged DRX into the operating rhythm.

In a blink of an eye, neither side had a team fight, but DRX had already lost three defense towers in a row.

Originally, DRX was disgusted by Lee Sang-hyuk who kept running in front of them but could not be killed.

Now, to put it nicely, it was being manipulated, but to put it bluntly, it was just being played like a fool.

The temperature was getting higher and higher, and the game was getting more and more anxious.

There is a common point in any competitive game, that is, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to reveal flaws.

DRX was eager to group up and seize the route and the vision of the lower half.

Preparing for the upcoming dragon group

At this moment, Karma, who had TP, was assigned to defend the top lane with Lee Sang-hyuk.

They felt that Chovy's Sion was needed to hold the front.

It seemed fine, but it was a fatal mistake.

They gave Chovy Sion to fight Lee Sang-hyuk's card because Sion could quickly clear the line, and in addition to TP, his ultimate could also quickly support other battles.

Under heavy pressure, DRX seemed to have forgotten why they chose Sion to fight against Card.

And Karma with Ice Fist, Ghost Book, and Censer could not be like Sion, who could take damage and quickly clear the line of soldiers before the line of soldiers entered the tower.

Sion was only half-health after taking a full set of Card, and his ultimate could offset the control and distance.

And if Karma was hit by this violent Card, she would really die.

He could only wait for Card to send the line of soldiers under his tower.

"Karma is in the top lane, so we can end the game." Li Xianghe immediately captured the opponent's fatal flaw accurately.

Then he hoarded a large wave of soldiers and slowly pushed to the opponent's high ground.

After the little dragon refreshed, DRX had retreated to occupy the dragon pit, preparing to build an iron bucket formation around Deft to welcome the key team.

At this moment, Li Xianghe led the line to the top tower, but immediately retreated and lit up TP in the middle lane.

The TP position is the middle lane of the middle line.

"Faker T! If he Ts here, DRX can see this place directly!" Xika obviously couldn't keep up with Li Xianghe's thinking.

"It's okay, Card has sprint and can get there first. It seems that he wants to surround the opponent this time." Kid has a slightly higher level, but the gap is too far.

This TP gave Doran a fatal choice.

He doesn't have the ability to quickly clear a lane with two sports cars.

And this wave of cards has sprinting in hand. If he goes too late, something may happen to him.

Jackeylove's Jhin is already sniping from a distance.

Under tremendous pressure, Doran did not dare to hesitate too much and directly pressed his TP.

There is no way, we have to go head-on. Doran can only think, if you lose a big wave of soldiers, just lose a big wave of soldiers. Teamfight is the key.

But what he lost this time was not the soldiers, but the base.

The card landed, forcing Doran to immediately light up his TP.

"It's a wave." Lee Sang Hyuk drove at a high speed but did not go under the dragon pit. Instead, he turned back and hurried up the road.

On the road, the sports car that was resisting the tower lit up with a beam of light.

It is a TP of 369.

"Hey, no, TES doesn't want to join a group, they want to steal your home!"

"Can you go back? In DRX, only chovy has a T! Damn it! The cards are opened up and we are back to the top half."

A blue card! Throw it out!

The highland defense tower was quickly destroyed by Wan Hao's two punches.

DRX realized something was wrong.

I want to retreat quickly.

But Jackeylove's Jhin in the distance would definitely not put any distance between them.

With the blessing of the card's ultimate move, Destiny, all the DRX side's vision is exposed to his vision.

One shot! Two shots! Keria raised his shield, trying to create space for Chovy and his teammates to return to the city.

Chovy even prepared to use his ultimate move to increase the distance.

And Zhuo naturally would not give them this opportunity to flash RW.

Keep the DRX army.

At the same time, he blocked Chovy's ultimate move with his body.

At this time, the crystal on the top road was also broken, and the army line had already entered the incisor tower.

Wanhao's Q and the card's W both make them top-notch experts at demolishing towers.

Add the two together, and the two incisor towers are in vain.

Everyone in DRX was in chaos.

They could only turn around and kill Zhuo who had been interfering next to them.

Then turn on the stopwatch and take off the time again.

Chovy had no choice but to turn on his TP and forcefully return to the city.

In desperation, the TP target Chovy chose was the incisor tower, which had only half of its health left.

Lee Sang Hyuk threw out a blue card again, and 369 unleashed his overwhelming power and landed his left and right punches.

The speed of TES demolishing towers in the mid-to-upper range is too fast.

The defense tower collapsed.

DRX's last hope of returning to defense was turned into powder together with the defense tower.

In the end, he could only get up angrily and kill Zhuo to vent his anger.

And amid the cheers of "Stealed! Stolen!"

The DRX crystal exploded again when Lee Sang Hyuk threw the card out of his hand.

The idea of ​​Cvmax relying on abstract tricks to defeat TES has become a laughing stock.

Although, Cvmax believes that DRX had a good chance in this round.

It was the players' mistakes that led to DRX not being able to start the last wave of life-and-death struggle and losing the game.

But he knows that he can't be harsh on his players now.

They didn't do well enough, but in the face of someone as powerful as TES, who can do well enough?

The atmosphere in the DRX lounge was very quiet.

Keria said nothing.

Whether it was Lee Sang Hyuk's relaxed and leisurely escape, or the entire team being led around by TES, it made him extremely uncomfortable to play.

The last act of stealing was even more devastating to his mentality.

Anxious, confused, unwilling, self-blame, annoyed, angry, fearful.

Keria couldn't tell what kind of emotion he was feeling right now, or maybe he had all of these emotions.

Although he knew that TES was far stronger than their team.

But now my hands are still shaking uncontrollably, my heart rate remains high, and it's even difficult to breathe.

This is his first time participating in the World Championship, but he doesn't want to stop here, not just in the quarterfinals.

He thought over and over again about the wave of dragons on the field. If he hadn't rushed up and opened Jackeylove, deft would have been cut.

Isn't that the case?

Before cvmax could speak, deft put his arm around his teammate's shoulders.

"Have fun, kids," Deft said.

"This is only your first or second world championship, and getting here is already a very good result."

"You are still young. The future stage is yours. You don't need to worry too much about the present."

There is no shortage of wonderful stories of people surviving desperate situations in this world.

Everyone always talks about the big comebacks that are remembered.

However, the reason why the great reversal is remembered is because he was small enough.

Under the crushing force of absolute strength.

Most of them are as expected.

That’s not to say that DRX has lost its spirit of e-sports and constant self-improvement.

It's just that the situation has reversed. Now, everyone has understood the same gap as the TES gap.

deft understands that telling his teammates "We will win the next game" at this time is a bit too much like deceiving himself.

Even though they cheered each other on and expressed trust, his years of experience as a professional player made him understand that in this situation, he already knew that he could not win.

Most players cannot deceive themselves.

There are many comebacks that look quite thrilling to the audience, but in fact it is not that thrilling for professional players.

Of course, the players cannot predict the outcome of the game.

But the players will have a sense of propriety in their hearts, knowing which team they may be defeated by, and which situation they cannot turn around.

After the second game, the DRX players looked at the relaxed Lee Sang-hyeok.

They knew that they were not qualified to stop the rise of the devil.

The DRX roadblock could not even trip Faker on his journey to the top.

At least, that's the case now.

Therefore, Cvmax did not speak to comfort him at the first time, and Deft did not say the usual encouragement.

When everyone understood that the words of comfort were just words of comfort.

He lost the effect of comfort.

Instead of saying empty words that no one believed.

It's better.

"Have fun, enjoy the game, kids, just think of yourself as a player."

Deft felt that since failure was inevitable.

It's better to face it with a smile than to cry and wait for death.

"But, what about you, Hekui brother." Keria asked.

Several young players in DRX all regard Deft as a real big brother.

They also understand how difficult it is for Deft to persist until now.

Back injury, age, public opinion.

They are indeed as Deft said, still very young, with a lot of future waiting for them.

They still have a lot of time to grow and fight.

But after Deft finishes this year, will he be there next year, and will there be a world championship?

Where will the next world championship be?

No one can give an answer, and no one can be sure.

"I, I don't care, I'm used to the quarterfinals." Deft smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

He said that he has an old face and doesn't care.

But in fact, his heart is full of bitterness, but he has learned to suppress his emotions now.

The child who participated in the world championship for the first time, was beaten and cried, and was comforted by nine brothers should also grow up.

Deft doesn't want to cry on the stage again. If he really has to cry, Deft only hopes to save the last tears for the moment when he completes his obsession.

The third game.

DRX finally pressed the card.

Cvmax no longer showed the world his unfathomable pick and ban.

He picked all heroes that left no regrets.

Crocodile in the top lane, Kindred in the jungle, Sylas in the mid lane, Policewoman in the AD and Lux ​​in the support.

All of them were the best heroes.

And TES, seeing this, no longer followed the operation idea.

Sion, Lee Sin, Leblanc, Draven, Thresh.

All of them were their best heroes.

TES relied on Card operation in the first two games, but it did not mean that they did not dare to compete with DRX in operation.

Li Xianghe understood what DRX meant, they wanted to play the last game without regrets.

Then Li Xianghe naturally satisfied their ideas, so let's have a hearty battle.

"Fuck, Faker! He killed Chovy alone! Chovy has never been defeated!"

"Chovy is feeling miserable now, thinking, Faker, you should just play Card."

"But DRX played well in the bottom lane, always suppressing Draven! Hey! Keria made a mistake! He gave up! Then Jackeylove took off!"

Although DRX said that they would have a good game without any regrets.

Perhaps, every time at this stage, the team without regrets should be like the last dance of a butterfly in autumn, struggling beautifully, struggling to make people say that it is an honor to lose.

But, reality is not a script, sometimes it is cruel and chilling.

Deft's speech greatly improved the mentality of the DRX players.

But the players are too young, and it is still difficult to adjust their state and mentality to the best state in a life-and-death game.

What's more.

They are facing the invincible team led by the devil.

"Ah, DRX is far away."

"3:0, probably. This is going to be a wave."

Deft looked at the unstoppable TES on the field and shifted his sight from his gray-black screen to the other side.

Li Xianghe in the distance was talking with a relaxed face, and the players around him had already started cheering.

Compared to the TES voice, they were celebrating the upcoming victory.

That's great.

Speaking of it.

He really envied, envied the strange man named Faker.

Envied that he was so powerful, envied that he could easily lead the team, step by step, step by step, and move up unstoppably.

When will I be able to do it?

Deft couldn't help but doubt himself.

Doubt himself who seemed to be lingering.

Is it really just obsession?

Maybe, am I really too paranoid?

Should I really give up?

"Take a good rest during the holidays, kids. There are many restaurants in Shanghai that I liked to eat at when I was young. I will be your guide."

"And the coach said he would take us to their family's yacht for a party. Of course, he will pay for it."

"So, welcome the future well."

Deft was confused and comforted his teammates, but no one comforted this veteran who was in the quarterfinals again and would be ridiculed by the public again.

As he said this, looking at the TES players who came to shake hands with him, he stood up and shook hands with TES pretending to be calm.

"Come on, I hope to see you again next year." Li Xianghe suddenly said to deft. "Don't give up! I am your fan."

Deft was slightly stunned, then smiled shyly and awkwardly. "Okay, are you really my fan?"

Li Xianghe said, "Without you, the game will be less fun."

The conversation between the two ended briefly, because 369, who was confused behind, was still waiting to shake hands.

Deft couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Li Xianghe, he is really a strange person.

Of course, me too.

TES successfully defeated LCK No. 2 seed DRX 3:0 and advanced to the semi-finals.

Deft regretfully stopped in the quarterfinals again.

Amid many remarks that persuaded him to retire, deft still decided to come again tomorrow.

Although even if Li Xianghe didn't say it, he felt that he would stick to it.

But, since the strongest professional players now let him stick to it, why can't he continue happily?

What's more, deft always tells everyone that he is also a fan of Faker.

And he also has to chase the figure named Faker.
