Chapter 246 Give G2 a Break? No, I Choose to Bully the Weak!

After the top four are released.

Many LPL viewers began to discuss the LGD semi-final matchup.

G2 and Flash Wolves.

LGD will take the initiative to choose one of these two teams as its opponent in the semi-finals.

Most LPL viewers prefer LGD to pick G2 as their semifinal opponent.

Because of the team G2.

Although since the spring of 2016, I have played in the top leagues in Europe.

So far, a total of three seasons have been played in the European League.

In these three seasons, they all won the league championship.

Achieved the first three consecutive championships in the history of the European League.

It can be said that it is comparable to EDG's dominance in the LPL civil war of the previous two years.

However, G2 has held two international competitions since its establishment - the 2016 MSI Mid-Season Championship and the 2016 Global Finals.

All played very badly!

Including this year's MSI, G2's group stage process also started high and went low.

In the end, the fourth in the group barely made it to the semi-finals.

Almost didn't make it out of the group.

Let’s look at G2’s experience since the team was founded.

This team is like a competition expert who is an expert in civil war but an outsider in external war!

In contrast.

The Flash Wolves are also the league hegemon in the Tiwan Division, and their results in foreign games are also not ideal.

But at least I have a representative work in an international competition!

For example.

In this MSI group stage, the first team to defeat SKT was the Flash Wolves.

And at last year’s global finals.

Flash Wolves also defeated SKT in the BO1 group stage.

Comprehensive record of all matches between Flash Wolves and SKT.

The Flash Wolves are even the team with the leading record.

Although they are all BO1 games, there are no BO3 or BO5 games, so the gold content is not very high.

But at least it shows that the Flash Wolves team has an upper limit.

Unlike G2, their performance in several international competitions so far has been nothing but a weak competitor and a piece of trash!

Netizens discussed it for a while.

More people tend to think that it would be better for LGD to play G2 in the semi-finals.

It just so happens that the day of the LGD semifinals is May 20th.

As a result, some netizens started shouting that they would “give G2 a holiday on May 20!”

It actually means "Give the chicken a holiday!"

"Give G2 a holiday!" This meme is indeed quite interesting, and it quickly spread among the LPL audience.

And during this period.

After the group stage match against SKT, Zhou Dian said in an interview with a European host, "Actually, it doesn't matter who you play in the semi-finals, we all win anyway!"

It also began to spread on a large scale.

for this post-match interview.

Many people praise Zhou Dian, saying that he is full of confidence, has a good attitude, is relaxed, and is a competition-type player.

Naturally, many people disparaged Zhou Dian, saying that he was too arrogant and arrogant, so that he would end up as a arrogant soldier who would be defeated.

Within the LGD team.

Although Zhou Dian said that it doesn't matter who he hits.

But that was just a casual answer from a forced European host.

Who specifically will LGD play in the semi-finals?

Of course, it is impossible to draw lots and then choose one of the two, there is no difference at all.

In the hotel's temporary training room.

All LGD players and coaching staff are gathered here.

Everyone is seriously discussing which team to challenge in the semi-finals.

Unlike the audience who can only judge the team's status through official games.

The participating teams played many training games with each other.

The understanding of the specific status of each team is more in-depth.

Therefore, during LGD’s internal discussions.

Put aside the filter of G2 being "soft in competition" and take a more honest look at G2's true strength in this MSI.

The audience can discuss the game in a somewhat metaphysical way.

But as a team member who wants to participate in the game, you must not play metaphysics.

Everything has to be done from a practical perspective.

After careful comparison and discussion.

Basically all LGD members came to a common conclusion:

If we were to play a BO5 now, G2 would definitely be much stronger than Flash Wolves.

What exactly is G2 better than Flash Wolves?

The strength lies in G2's endless new routines and deeper hero pool.

The creativity of European players is indeed very good.

The G2 team has developed many new things during this period of training matches.

Some of them showed results in training matches.

Some don't.

Moreover, Zhou Dian guessed that G2 must have hidden a lot of things that they did not bring out in the training games.

Once it reaches the BO5 knockout round.

If G2 works hard, it will really cause people a lot of headaches.

Therefore, let G2 leave the headache to SKT.

Although I don’t expect G2 to win SKT.

But they can cause some trouble for SKT.

And a team like Flash Wolves.

The game style is too static.

And there is not enough effort.

This kind of team can only be manipulated in a BO5 match with SKT.

It won't cause any trouble to SKT at all!

Similarly, Flash Wolf cannot cause any trouble to LGD.

Because Flash Wolves’ top laner, Mimi Egg (MMD), is really average.

Still the same sentence.

A team with a too weak top laner has no chance of winning against the current LGD.

So, for LGD.

Give G2 a break?

No, I choose to abuse food!

Why did you work so hard to get first place in the group?

Isn't it just to choose Flash Wolf as his opponent in the semi-finals now?

That night.

Riot Games officially announced the specific matchups for the two semifinals of this MSI.

The LGD team selected the Flash Wolves as their semi-final opponent.

The remaining SKT team and G2 team.

It will serve as the two sides facing each other in the semi-finals of the other group.

As soon as the news came out.

Many LPL viewers expressed regret that they could not "give G2 a holiday" in person.

The task of "giving G2 a holiday" was handed over to SKT so easily.

Judging from these remarks.

The vast majority of the audience is optimistic that LGD and SKT will eventually meet in the finals.

The days passed quickly.

Just in a simple cycle of eating, training, and sleeping, four days passed.

The time has come, Saturday, May 20th.

Today is the day of LGD’s first MSI semifinal against Flash Wolves.

The game starts at 3pm local time in Brazil.

After lunch.

The entire LGD team left the hotel, boarded the bus, and headed to the semifinals venue.

in the car.

The expressions on the faces of the LGD players were quite relaxed.

Even Dgc, who has always been the most nervous.

At this time, his face was quite calm.

Because today's opponent, Flash Wolves, is indeed inferior to LGD in terms of hard power.

As long as he is a person with normal mental qualities.

There is nothing to be nervous about when facing an opponent who is not as strong as yourself.

Of course, the mentality is relaxed and relaxed.

The entire LGD team is still treating today's game very carefully.

Never underestimate your opponent!

After all, in the history of professional League of Legends games.

There are too many incredible incidents of boat capsizing in sewers!

"Hello everyone, welcome to the venue of this MSI competition - the Rio Olympic Stadium!"

"This Rio Mid-Season Championship has reached the second half of the knockout stages!"

"Fellow Taoists, after four days of retreat, you will get up in the middle of the night again today to watch the first showdown between us, the top four!"

In the LPL official live broadcast room.

The live broadcast screen has just arrived at the scene.

Guan Zeyuan's voice came out from it.

At this time, it was approaching two o'clock in the morning domestic time.

But in the live broadcast room, the barrage is very dense.

This shows that there are a lot of people in the live broadcast room!

Obviously, there are a large number of LPL viewers staying up late to watch this game.

"I wonder if everyone has adapted to our slightly underworld game time after the group stage!"

"Okay, welcome everyone back to the live broadcast of our game! Hello everyone, I am Zeyuan!"

"Hello everyone, I am a hallucinogen!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Rita!"

In this semi-final, these three people teamed up in the LPL official commentary box.

And as soon as Rita appeared in the camera.

On the barrage in the live broadcast room, many barrages of obscene Rita appeared immediately.

The most common among them.

Of course it’s the classic “driving a Mercedes, drinking War Horse, and playing Rita on the gaming chair!”

"What about before the game starts?"

As soon as Guan Zeyuan appeared on camera, he immediately read a long advertisement.

This can be considered a "classic" part of the LPL official live broadcast.

Even if Guan Zeyuan recited the slogan at full speed, he was almost shouting "Xing Xingzi".

This advertisement still read for more than a minute.

It’s true that it smells bad and grows longer!

Next time.

Several commentators in the commentary box introduced some statistics of the two teams in today's game - LGD and Flash Wolves - in the group stage.

The data comparison of each position is also given one by one.

The biggest gap among them is the comparison of data between top order and AD.

After playing another promotional video for the semi-finals.

The live footage was given to the LPL official live commentary booth for this game.

"Okay, viewers, welcome to the semi-finals of LGD vs. Flash Wolves. Hello everyone, I'm Changmao!"

"Hello everyone, I am Su Xiaoyan!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Remember!"

Because today LGD’s opponent, Flash Wolves, is a team from the Tiwan Division.

So, the live commentary aspect of today’s game.

The official specially arranged two commentators from Diwan - Changmao and Remember.

As soon as Su Xiaoyan appeared.

On the barrage in the live broadcast room, Su Xiaoyan's idiom memes immediately began to be viewed.

Subsequently.

When the three commentators were previewing the game.

The director's camera panned across the main stage.

It can be seen that the starting players of LGD and Flash Wolves have already taken their seats in their respective player seats.

Players from both teams are debugging equipment and making final preparations before the game.

It’s not far away from the start of the first game of BO5 in the semi-finals!

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers.

In the live broadcast, the BP interface suddenly popped up.

In the middle of the BP interface is the actual screen of the players.

As soon as it appeared, it was the top laners of both sides.

Zhou Dian on the left had a very relaxed expression, looking calmly at the computer screen in front of him.

Mimidan, the top laner of Flash Wolves on the right, was shaking all over.

At the same time, he kept turning his head and looking around.

There was visible tension and anxiety on his face!

"Okay, we have entered the BP stage of the first game of the semi-finals. The speed is very fast. We don't have time to guess the BP!"

After a pause, Changmao continued: "Mimidan looks a little nervous here!"

"After all, he has to face Zhou Shen today. I think there are very few top laners who are not nervous at all when facing Zhou Shen!" Remember said with a smile.
