Chapter 123 The Battle Between the Top Four Begins
Chapter 123 - The battle between the top four begins
In front of Big Ben, traffic was busy, and Smeb's voice rang out.
"I want to prove once again that the Korean League of Legends team is the best in the world. Yes, now we can no longer say that casually, but if anyone wants to regain the glory of Korea, I hope it is my team ”
Smeb looked into the distance under the night sky with firm eyes.
At MSI, EDG defeated SKT. In the IEM5 game, KOO lost to WE, the second-to-last team in the LPL. Aluka said, "There are eleven better than us."
The past events are vivid in their minds, spurring them to keep moving forward every moment.
"Congratulations IG! Qualified first in the group!!"
"Congratulations to IG for defeating the KT team and advancing to the group stage!"
IG's winning streak and the background sound of the commentator suddenly sounded. Yuan Shen stood in the distance from the Summoner's Trophy. Behind him was the fifth-ranked cathedral in the world, St. Paul's Cathedral.
In front of the vaulted hall supported by square stone pillars, with splendid heavy colors painted everywhere, windows inlaid with stained glass, and huge murals of Jesus, the Virgin and the apostles hanging on the walls, Yuan Shen said softly: "I came to the world for the first time. On the stage of the competition, we have no past and no honors, but this also means that we are creating history with every step forward. There is no glory in LPL, but I am glory!"
After six consecutive games of wonderful performance, the five heroes used by Yuan Shen appeared one after another.
Noshou, Crocodile, Galen, Sword Lady, and Riven were lined up.
"I want others to see how we defeated legends step by step, became legends, proved ourselves, and proved that the LPL division is number one in the world. Even if it is just a summer meteor, a short-lived flash in the pan, we will burst out with the most dazzling light. Let the world be shocked.”
No. 221b Baker Street, in front of the Sherlock Holmes Museum, OG's top laner sister-in-law stepped up the steps, step by step, just like their performance in the group stage when they defeated KT to end their dream of promotion.
"Many people say that our advancement to the quarterfinals relies on the laxity of others, but on this stage, I will prove my strength."
The night passed, the lights were bright, and people were passing through the streets quickly.
In front of Tower Bridge, the unique elegance of the Victorian era is undoubtedly revealed, and Huni and Ou Cheng appear.
"We are the world champions of S1, but the world has forgotten us for too long. We will do our best in this world championship. If we defeat SKT, we can regain the glory of FNC!"
On the south bank of the Thames, on the roof of The Shard, Faker's figure slowly appeared.
"SKT is an extraordinary team. We have reached the top and fallen to the bottom, but now, we stand here."
The BGM rose instantly, but Faker always stood at the top, never looking back, never stepping down from the throne.
"If you become stronger, then the easiest way is to defeat me."
A simple sentence shows your domineering power!
As the top eight teams appeared, all the audience cheered.
After the BGM ended, the camera switched, and the bustling scene outside Wembley Stadium flashed by. After cutting back to the venue, thousands of spectators waved their arms in unison, and the scene was filled with excitement!
On the first day of the quarterfinals, SKT faced FNC.
The battle between the No. 1 seeds of Korea and Europe!
"Who do you think will win?"
Rookie looked at Yuan Shen.
They have spent a lot of time filming promotional videos these days, and not much time is actually spent on training.
Fortunately, they were playing on the last day and had a few days to adjust.
"Although I hope FNC can win, but... SKT, after returning from MSI, SKT seems to be a changed team. They are now very strong, everyone can carry, they have always been our biggest opponent, I Looking forward to the final with them.”
Yuan Shen shrugged, not feeling at all that his words were disrespectful to KOO.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
And the result of the game was just as they expected.
Facing SKT, FNC had almost no power to fight back.
Huni used three heroes: Riven Sword Ji Lulu, while MaRin only used one hero from beginning to end.
That's Rambo.
"Huni has improved a lot compared to the group stage, but it's not enough. If they didn't meet SKT in the first round, maybe his performance would be better in the next few rounds, and FNC would have a better chance."
Ming Kai saw it clearly.
Both FNC and Huni have improved a lot compared to before.
If FNC faces LGD again now, it’s really not certain who will win.
The World Championships are still a great training for the players.
"There's no way, it's fate."
Yuan Shen didn't think it was anything.
During this time of the World Championship, everyone is making progress.
Among the top eight teams, FNC may be only a little better than EDG.
But the current EDG, the EDG in memory, has also improved a lot.
"We have to ban Rambo when playing against MaRin. His proficiency is too high. Even if he has no advantage in the lane, he can still cause us a lot of trouble in a team fight."
Fumanduo's voice sounded, and he also watched the global videos of SKT and FNC.
It's a pity that FNC didn't play more of SKT.
SKT still kept the habit of banning Malphite on the blue side, which made Fumanduo doubt that they really didn't know how to play Malphite.
SKT had this habit during the group stage.
Or maybe, they had too many ban slots?
Their opponents had to take on the ban of Ryze.
This hero, only Rookie and Faker can use it in the entire world championship.
In addition to Malphite and Gangplank, there are Ryze, Lulu, Elise, and even Rumble...
Six ban slots are indeed not enough.
On October 16, OG defeated FW.
FW, who had shined in BO1 and became the pioneer of anti-Korean, couldn't play in BO5.
The steak in the top position completely became a breakthrough point, and was fiercely inserted into it by the sister-in-law and stirred wildly, causing FW to twitch from time to time and feel uncomfortable all over.
IG's game was on the last day.
On October 17, LGD played against EDG.
Yuan Shen had expected the result of this game.
But the domestic audience was full of expectations.
EDG and LGD had not met before in the playoffs.
Instead, they played a game in the bubble match.
That time, LGD defeated EDG.
And this time, there should be no problem, right?
However, they still thought too well.
LGD on the blue side was unstoppable. When EDG actively released Iron Man, they banned it themselves without even looking at Iron Man.
Not to mention when they were on the red side, Iron Man and Captain banned the position to buy a house, not giving the opponent any chance to use these two heroes or match these two heroes.
After all, Imp really can't use Iron Man.
They knew this news during the group stage training.
Sharing what you have sometimes increases the opponent's understanding of you.
It is risky in itself.
LGD defeated EDG 3-1.
Successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
And the last battle is about to break out.
This battle has received the highest level of attention.
The only China-Korea civil war in the quarterfinals!
If IG wins, they will face LGD in the semifinals.
They will advance to the finals against SKT.
If IG loses, then this World Championship may be a Korean civil war.
In that case...
Yuan Shen doesn't dare to think about it, he just wants to win.
