Chapter 347: Chinese Dragon, Division Glory!

Chapter 347 - Chinese Dragon, the glory of the region!

When the results of the game were finalized, the LPL region was confirmed to be the first in the group and jumped directly to the finals, and the outside world was already crazy!

Not long after the game ended, all the major teams in the LPL region, without exception, sent Weibo congratulations. The official Weibo account of League of Legends even said: "The ambition of the dragon, the LPL region, is building its own era on a global scale. The major hosts and commentators were also excited.

After two days of intense schedule, the LPL region had both wins and losses in this year's Intercontinental Championship, but the final result was good!

On Weibo's hot searches, # Asian Challenge # , # LPL region group first # , # LPL region advances to the finals # hot searches directly dominated the list!

Because of the MSI championship, the LPL competition is now highly anticipated, not to mention the international competition under the home court. The attention has reached the highest climax since the Intercontinental Championship was held. On major forums, netizens jumped up and down excitedly.

"No.-! No. 1 qualified!"

"The scumbags of Taiwan and LCK are so funny. ”

“Is this the first division a done deal?”

“IG is really strong! How can they be so strong!”

“IG is the big brother of LPL this year. They won both games. It’s awesome!”

“No, no, it’s too early for the first division. The finals haven’t been played yet.”

“I don’t understand why EDG can advance to the Intercontinental Championship. They are really inferior…”

“Han Za, you’re here? What’s wrong with your output against the wind?”

Although the LPL division is a whole, the Intercontinental Championship is different from any other international competition. It highlights the overall strength of the division teams.

However, after all, it is played by individual teams, which is different from the All-Stars where players are selected from various teams to form a team.

There are also differences in strength between divisions.

For example, the four division representative teams are integrated, but which one wins and which one loses, the result will be very embarrassing. If the other three representative teams All the teams won, but you lost. Isn't that embarrassing for the team?

You not only held yourself back, but also held the entire region back!

As the saying goes, everything is afraid of comparison, but comparison is everywhere...

This has led to IG, the representative team of the LPL region this year, winning two games in a row. In the past few days, its reputation and fame have surpassed the other three teams, which can be said to be in great glory.

However, many people also think that this is the performance that IG should have.

Who made you the four-time world champion and the world's number one team?

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

With achievements, the expectations of the outside world will naturally be higher.

IG will naturally be recognized by global players and audiences as the leader of LPL!

The rest of RNG and EDG have a solid foundation, their performance is also remarkable, and their reputation is also good.

As for WE, this veteran team has made many viewers shine.

RNG and EDG have played in the World Championships in the past two years, but WE has not entered the World Championship since S2.

Four years later, some people still remember that WE.

The group stage ended these two days. After two days of watching the game, LPL audiences have divided the three major divisions and twelve teams into three levels of upper, middle and lower.

The fun of the Intercontinental Championship lies in this, Tian Ji's horse racing, highlighting the fun.

First of all, in the LPL division, IG has been selected as the top horse.

Even the commentator Wawa said in public when the LPL division advanced to the Asian Challenge Finals with the first place at the end of today's game: "Top horse? No, I think IG is now a Hummer, right? Or a Ferghana horse? The kind of! LPL's top big brother, do you have any doubts? The younger brothers below fight, and I, IG, sit on the Diaoyutai. Who bullies my three younger brothers? I will smash you when I come out of the mountain! "

Although these words are jokes, they also express the thoughts of everyone outside at this time, including the four LPL representative teams!

Big brother's face, big brother smoking and other funny emoticons were photoshopped and instantly became popular on the Internet!

As for the middle horses in the LPL region, they are RNG, EDG, and WE.

There are no lower horses!

Regarding WE's level, the controversy is the greatest. They have been hovering between the upper and middle levels.

But EDG and RNG are indeed worthy of the title, because their performance in the Intercontinental Championship is definitely not as good as IG's.

And the four participating teams in the LCK region, LZ and KT were both rated as upper horses.

And Samsung and SKT are ranked in the middle.

Because Samsung played two games, met IG and RNG respectively, and lost all of them.

And SKT was also miserable, met IG and EDG, and also lost 0-2.

LCK, also has no inferior horses, and even has one more superior horse than LPL!

The LMS division is also divided.

It is worth mentioning that the LMS division played the Intercontinental Championship, because the results were too poor, someone photoshopped a group of horse emojis, which was very shabby, while LCK was all sports cars, highlighting a gorgeous crush!

As for LPL, it was a train with three sports cars, which was much stronger than LCK!

As soon as this picture came out, it made the world laugh, and it was even uploaded to the Internet and directly on Twitter.

There were also many interviews and funny emojis, and the program effect was explosive. In just a few days, the unique atmosphere of the Intercontinental Championship has become known to everyone!

In this atmosphere, on July 7th.

This day is a lucky day for the old man Seven, but unfortunately the LPL audience is very "disappointed"

After all, they jumped directly to the finals. Today's semifinals, there is no game for our team, right?

The reverse taunting ended, and LCK and LMS also started the battle for the last spot in the finals.

Originally, everyone thought that LMS was slightly inferior to LCK before the game, but after all, they are known as the pioneer of anti-Korean magic division. With FW, the anti-Korean hero, there is still hope of victory.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. The LCK division, whether it is the coach think tank or the strength of each team, is obviously stronger than the LMS division.

Although the B05 of the Intercontinental Championship is a disguised BO1, LMS still failed to beat LCK.

A simple and clean 3:0, LCK's top seed LZ, did not even have a chance to come out, and LMS was eliminated.

With the LMS Division being crushed and eliminated, the finals seat of the 2017 Intercontinental Series Asia Contest has been completely determined!

As expected by everyone, it is still the old rivals LPL Division and LCK Division!

Also because of the names of these two divisions, overseas attention has increased instantly.

In everyone's opinion, this Intercontinental Championship is more like a battle for the title of "No. 1 Division".

Since the S5 World Finals, the LCK Division has not performed as well as the LPL in international competitions, but it has a deep foundation. Before S5, it was their era!

Also having dominated the World Championship for two years, the LCK is more like an old master with a deep foundation.

And the LPL is the new world No. 1.

Fists are afraid of the young, and sticks are afraid of the old.

Who is the No. 1 division? It remains to be discussed.

And the original international competitions were all individual teams fighting on their own, which did not reflect the strength of the division.

This Intercontinental Championship is the best stage for the LPL Division to prove itself!

Whose era is it now? Everyone is waiting!

Who is the No. 1 Division?

With the official end of the 2017 Intercontinental Series Asia Tournament knockout round, the two rival divisions LPL and LCK met again, and this topic was quickly remembered by everyone.

There have been too many debates about the topic of the No. 1 Division.

It is a pity that there are wins and losses in the competitive arena, but it is difficult to distinguish the superiority and inferiority outside the arena.

In the end, no matter how much you brag, you still have to speak with actual results!

It is also to prove it with fists and strength.

Esports, strength is respected!

Except for IG, other LPL teams have indeed lost more than they have won when they met LCK teams in recent years. This is an indisputable fact.

Now LCK fans can only criticize LPL for the two points of LPL's introduction of Korean aid and overall strength, and still insist on promoting LCK as the real No. 1 Division.

Shortly after the game, all major media have focused their attention and spotlight on LPL and LCK, the two powerful regions that advanced to the 2017 Intercontinental Series Asia Showdown!

LPL viewers were collectively excited, but also a little disappointed.

"LMS is just like this?"

"Just like this, just like this?"

"No way, no way, no one really thinks that LMS can overturn LCK in BO5?

"Bring Onmyoji? GKD!"

"This BO5 is outrageous, being crushed throughout the whole process, it is indeed a secondary region..."

"LMS is no different from a wildcard, the five major regions should have been removed long ago. "

"To be honest, LCK is really not weak. Did IG's performance in the World Championship give you an illusion... making you think that LCK is full of noobs and anyone can win? ”

“It turns out that I am not the only one who thinks so. The intercontinental competitions in the past few days have shown that the strong one is not LPL, but IG. The state and strength of other teams still feel a little behind LCK, at most they are about the same...”

“Now we can only rely on IG... But I am afraid that other teams can't hold on. It's useless for IG to play once!”

There are all kinds of discussions. In the eyes of the onlookers, the outside world, and even foreign audiences, tomorrow's Asian Challenge Finals is a battle between the first division and a fierce battlefield. Tomorrow, the two major divisions currently recognized by the world will surely create different sparks.

But for domestic LPL audiences, including team players, playing LCK in the finals is not good news.

After all, in anyone's eyes, Judging from the name alone, playing LMS in the finals is a qualitative difference from playing LCK. Even if the strength is similar, just looking at the name, it is easy to play against LMS, mainly because there is no psychological pressure.

On Weibo.

"The Final Battle of Asia, Who Will Be the First Division Title?" and other similar titles have already soared to the top of the hot search list.

After the finals quota was determined, major media began to frantically promote and promote. Major forums, Weibo hot searches and other platforms were discussing it, and all eyes were focused on tomorrow's Dianyang Tournament!

Click.

Kaohsiung, in the lounge.

Abu turned off his phone with a tired look on his face, threw it on the table, and couldn't help cursing: "Isn't LMS too bad? It would be fine if they could play something. At this level, they should quickly merge with Southeast Asia."

"As for LCK... Can we beat them?" Feng Ge, the coach of RNG next to him, frowned and was a little worried.

Except for IG, who can win a game, the other three teams are not sure of winning against LCK.

Theoretically, the best matchup is definitely IG vs. KT, RNG vs. Samsung, WE vs. SKT, and EDG vs. LZ.

In this way, there is an 80% chance of winning three games.

If it is RNG vs. SKT, the winning rate is only 50-50.

In fact, at this moment, the LPL think tank has no intention of watching the fun, but only faces the pressure of strong enemies.

First of all, IG must kill a top horse in LCK, and they cannot let them sacrifice their inferior horses.

Secondly, the three LPL teams will also encounter opponents who are restrained by their own team style, which is really not easy.

"Everyone is now one, and we must work together." Abu said.

Others also nodded, but they sighed in their hearts.

The LPL think tank is also worried about the finals.

"Actually, it's okay. Now we are all guessing the opponent's deployment. If everything goes well, it would be best if we win the first three games." EDG's analyst said calmly.

In the intercontinental finals, there are eight teams in total in the LPL and LCK regions. In the case of BO5, if the first three teams from the LPL region win the game, then B05 will win 3-0, and the fourth team will win directly.

Naturally, there will be no accidents.

But... speaking of lightness, 3-0, who doesn't want it? Can it be so smooth? Do you really think that LCK is made of mud?

If the first four games are tied at 2-2, they will definitely ask IG to play.

If it really comes to that, the chance of winning the championship is 70%.

So the key issue is that at least two wins must be guaranteed in the first four games.

In other words.

RNG, EDG, and WE must win at least one game.

"Try to let IG and KT play. KT is too strong. None of our other teams can beat them. If IG wins them, we can let LZ go and fight for one win in the remaining two games. There is a chance!" Someone suggested.

Now IG and LCK's KT team are both top teams that have not lost in the entire Intercontinental Championship, and are recognized by everyone as the top horses in this Intercontinental Championship.

The problem is that in addition to KT, LCK also has a LZ team that is equally strong.

Samsung will be at a disadvantage when facing RNG, have a 50% chance of winning when facing WE, and will win 80% when facing EDG.

This is determined by the team style.

EDG, which has been playing Korean operations for three years, is obviously not as good as Samsung, a veteran top operation team.

IG is the big brother of LPL, and now we have to rely on them.

"Speed ​​up the progress and predict the appearance order of LCK tomorrow. If we guess it right, and then target it, I think it will be much more stable. I guess LCK is also guarding against us. Now everyone should work harder, the Intercontinental Championship will end tomorrow!"

After everyone discussed briefly, Abu finished speaking, and the LPL think tank, which had worked hard for the LPL region in the past few days, immediately became busy again. Everyone's face was very solemn, but everyone was full of fighting spirit.

Although this finals is still difficult to play, with IG, the pressure on the LCK side will be even greater!

But if they guess the order of IG's appearance and let the weakest SKT come to exchange, they will be in trouble.

In another large training room, the four LPL teams, plus substitutes, more than 30 people, were training noisily, and everyone's expression was extremely focused and serious.

Knowing that the four LCK teams entered the finals, except for IG, the players of the other three teams were not panicked, but they still had pressure.

After all, except for IG, none of the other three teams dared to say that they would win the LCK.

"Don't worry, it's okay..." Rookie saw that everyone was so serious and nervous after getting the news, showing his signature smiling expression, and comforted everyone a few words.

"Just win one game, it won't be a big problem."

"It depends on you."

Meiko said: "KT is probably the only team that can make a difference, we really can't beat them."

They have also arranged training matches with KT in the past few days, but except for IG, no one else can be the opponent of this LCK Galaxy Battleship.

"Don't worry, leave it to us." Yuan Shen said.

"Okay, we are relieved with Yuan Shen's words!"

"IG is awesome!"

In the training room, the cheers of major teams came.

At the same time, at nine o'clock that night, an hour before the game,

the last moment before the start of the finals, the official Weibo of the IG club took the lead in releasing an announcement Weibo, similar to the event declaration before the finals: "Look up to the highest, fight together! IG cheers for the 2017 Asia Challenge LPL!"

Not long after this Weibo, RNG also released: "Never give up, fight together! RNG cheers for the 2017 Asia Challenge LPL!"

Then the other two LPL giants participating in this intercontinental game spoke out.

This is the first time that WE and EDG, a pair of enemies, have joined hands to fight.

No one paid attention at first, thinking it was just a joint declaration before the finals of the four participating teams.

But not long after, within an hour, a total of twelve teams in the new LPL season suddenly sent out Weibo at the same time!

FPX E-sports Club:

"Singing in the fire, fighting together! FPX cheers for the 2017 Asia Challenge LPL!

LNG E-sports Club: "Only to move forward, fight together! SN cheers for the 2017 Asia Challenge LPL!"

LGD E-sports Club: "The red heart never dies, and we fight together! LGD cheers for the 2017 Asia Challenge LPL!"

OMG E-sports Club: "The starlight breaks at dawn, and we fight together! OMG cheers for the 2017 Asia Challenge LPL!"

...

There are twelve teams in the entire LPL region, and none of them are absent!

The first four characters of each team are different, and the background of each finals cheering poster is all red and simple black.

These pictures are nothing special when you look at them alone, and everyone even thinks that the scenery of these cheering posters is the same.

But if you put them together vertically, you will be surprised to find that the background pictures of the finals cheering posters of the twelve LPL teams are like a puzzle, and they are pieced together into a complete, imposing, majestic black dragon!!

The Chinese Dragon declares war on LCK!
