Chapter 259 Peanuts? Peanuts!

In the end, SKT had a close call and defeated the G2 team with a score of three to one.

Became the second team to advance to the MSI finals.

The finals will begin one day later between LGD and SKT.

The winner will be the champion of the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Invitational.

After the semi-final between SKT and G2 ended.

On Chinese Internet-related platforms.

Basically no one is talking about this game anymore.

All the spectators are looking forward to tomorrow's final.

LGD vs. SKT.

Another final showdown between China and South Korea.

In fact, following the 2015 MSI Mid-Season Championship.

LPL has been in three consecutive international competitions and has not reached the finals.

The 2015 Global Finals, the 2016 MSI and the Global Finals.

There were no LPL teams in the finals.

Coincidentally, the final champions of these three international competitions were SKT.

Completely defended the title in the S competition and won three consecutive international competitions.

SKT is already a well-deserved dynasty team.

As for the LGD team, it has been two years since the LPL competition finals in international competitions.

The first LPL team to reach the finals of international competitions.

Naturally, LGD also carries the hopes of the entire LPL division.

However, their opponent is SKT.

It is a mountain that has stood in front of the LPL division for many years.

From a perceptual point of view, the vast majority of LPL viewers will definitely support the LGD team in the finals.

But analyze it from a rational perspective.

I have to say that SKT is the team with a greater chance of winning.

Most viewers are actually more optimistic about SKT.

Of course, both of these feelings can be said to be vague and subjective.

However, the vast majority of the audience just watched the game and had fun.

Viewing issues is naturally very subjective.

Let’s talk about whether there was an objective and rational analysis before the game.

Of course it is also available online.

There are many big players who have published pre-match analysis posts or analysis videos for the finals.

We made some detailed analysis on the operational level of players on both sides, the depth of the hero pool, and the technical and tactical playing styles of the two teams.

Of course, no matter how you analyze it.

I'm not too optimistic about LGD's prospects for the finals.

And in these related analyses.

In addition to analyzing the “hard power” aspects mentioned above.

Analysis of the “soft power” of both parties is also indispensable.

In terms of "soft power", the most noteworthy thing is actually that LGD played this first in the semi-finals.

About that.

Opinions on the Internet are also highly polarized.

Some people think that LGD is ranked first in the group, and it is worth it.

He took the initiative to choose Flash Wolf, the weakest among the top four, as his opponent in the semifinals.

Beat the semifinals.

Whether it is energy, physical strength, or tactical reserves.

LGD actually has no consumption.

Without this option, G2 would be significantly stronger than Flash Wolves in the semifinals.

It is impossible to say that LGD will have to spend a lot of money to make it past the semifinals.

Furthermore, by playing the semifinals first, you can have an extra day of rest before the finals.

Having a good rest will undoubtedly benefit LGD's finals status.

Others, on the other hand, hold the completely opposite view.

They felt that if LGD won the first place in this group and played in the semi-finals first, it would be beneficial to SKT.

These people think that e-sports is not a traditional sport.

Without such a large amount of physical exertion, there is no need for an extra day to rest and recover.

Instead, SKT finished the semifinals and then played the finals the next day.

Continuous fighting will make your hand feel hotter and your condition will get better and better.

LGD took a day off in the middle.

Maybe the hand feeling condition will stop.

People holding these two views are quarreling online.

Both sides insist on their own opinions, and no one can convince the other.

For this kind of thing that has metaphysical elements, you have your reasons and I have mine.

It is indeed impossible to integrate a unified concept and conclusion.

After all, even in some traditional competitive sports that consume a lot of physical strength.

There are also many cases where the rest time before the finals is too long.

In the end, the break was too big, resulting in a complete loss of form in the finals, and an example of an eventual overturn.

So, which view is more correct?

We have to wait until the MSI finals are over and verify it with the results of the finals.

The day passed quickly.

The time has come to May 22, the day when the finals of this MSI Mid-Season Invitational begin.

After lunch.

All LGD players, as well as members of the coaching staff, as well as some other accompanying staff, boarded the bus to the final venue.

On the way to the competition venue.

In the bus, the one who looked most nervous was still the head coach Dgc.

On the contrary, none of the starting five who were going to play in the game looked nervous.

Especially Zhou Dian, Eimy and imp.

There was absolutely no tension on his face.

Imp is a veteran who has been through many battles, and he has also won the S-race championship. He has never seen anything like this before!

Naturally, I won’t be nervous about the “mere” MSI finals.

As for Zhou Dian and Eimy.

The two of them are examples of good mentality.

Zhou Dian has strong personal strength and confidence, so he naturally has confidence.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhou Dian still had the same calm expression as he usually does when playing other games.

And this person Eimy.

He has always been carefree and a born optimist.

At this moment, Eimy was holding his cell phone and laughing.

I don’t know what I’m looking at that makes me so happy.

Not only was there no nervous expression on his face, there was even a hint of excitement.

Seeing this, Zhou Dian couldn't help but joked: "Brother Dan, we have to face Little Peanut again later, are you weak or not?"

Hearing this, Eimy raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "Little peanut? Patch peanuts!"

"Just look at how I raise his pigs and that's it!"

As soon as he said this, everyone else on the bus started laughing.

The atmosphere in the entire car immediately became much more relaxed.

After walking on the road for too long, the bus drove into the underground parking lot of the final competition venue.

The LGD personnel just got off the bus.

There are already official Riot staff waiting below.

In the following time, until the final officially starts.

The LGD players have a lot of other things to do.

Just follow these staff and wait for arrangements to be made!

LPL official match live broadcast room.

Although it's almost two o'clock in the morning.

And it was still Monday, so many viewers had to go to work after dawn.

However, there are still a large number of viewers in the live broadcast room at this moment.

The number of spectators was no less than the semi-final match between LGD and Flash Wolves the day before yesterday.

Even a lot more.

The game hasn't started yet, but the barrage in the live broadcast room is still dense.

If you don't turn off the barrage, you won't be able to see the live broadcast at all.

The enthusiasm of the LPL audience for watching the game was fully demonstrated at this moment.

So many viewers stayed up late at 2 a.m. to watch the work.

Naturally, it is to support the LGD team in their own LPL division.

Even though LGD's opponent in the final is SKT, the unbeatable dynasty team in international competitions in the past two years.

Even in various pre-match analyses, LGD did not have much chance of winning today.

Not to mention that LGD defeated SKT in the group stage.

But the group stage BO1 and the knockout stage BO5 are basically two games.

SKT has overturned many times in BO1 in the past two days.

But as long as it comes to the knockout rounds, it will be a BO5.

SKT is still the invincible SKT!

Moreover, the two sides' record in the group stage was only one to one.

In terms of BO1 in the group stage, LGD failed to gain an advantage.

Therefore, from an objective point of view, it is normal not to be optimistic about LGD before the game.

But so what?

The results of the game are all played out, not analyzed.

For ordinary LPL viewers watching the game.

They don't need anything objective.

The main thing is subjective.

As long as the game is not over, anything is possible!

Another few minutes passed.

Amidst the dense barrage, the base of a trophy appeared on the live broadcast screen.

Then, the camera moves all the way up.

The full picture of the trophy was also shown in the live broadcast.

"After the fierce and cruel knockout rounds, we finally reached the championship stage!"

"What everyone sees now is the championship trophy of the Mid-Season Championship!"

As Changmao's voice sounded in the LPL official live broadcast room.

The overall picture of the game scene also appeared in the live broadcast footage.

Then, the camera showed the commentary box of this final.

"Yes, the two teams that will participate in today's mid-season championship finals, LGD and SKT, are already ready to go!"

Along with these words, there were huge cheers from the scene.

"Hello everyone, I am Changmao!"

"Hello everyone, I am Su Xiaoyan!"

“Hello everyone, I’m Zeyuan!”

These three people are sitting in the LPL official commentary box at today's finals.

During this MSI, there were only a few LPL commentators who went to Brazil.

Naturally, there were the same faces coming and going in the commentary box and the commentary box.

In the last LGD game, Changmao and Su Xiaoyan were the game commentators.

Today, I was assigned to the commentary box.

Guan Zeyuan, on the other hand, had two consecutive BO5 games for LGD and did not get the chance to commentate on the game. Both times he was in the commentary box.

Of course, once Guan Zeyuan and Su Xiaoyan are on the same stage, they appear in the same shot.

In the LPL official game live broadcast room, the transmission of entertainment is naturally indispensable.

The barrage of [Yan Jie Guan Ye] immediately filled the screen.

"Okay, now we're at the Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!"

"After so many days of Mid-Season Championship games, today's game has indeed the largest number of spectators and the highest enthusiasm!" Changmao said.

"That's right!" Guan Zeyuan nodded,

"Half a season of sweat and tears will all come to a conclusion today!"

"Right away, let's start the opening ceremony of today's Mid-Season Championship Finals!"

The words have not yet finished.

The live camera has moved from the commentary seat to the main stage in the center of the game.

In the center of the main stage, there is a one-meter-high rectangular column.

The trophy symbolizes the final champion of the MSI Mid-Season Championship.

At this moment, it is standing quietly on this column.

Waiting for the five hands to hold it up!

Next to the column, the host of the finals stood.

He was speaking Portuguese and saying something loudly.

The LOL event came to Brazil, and the host of the event naturally had to speak the language of Brazilians.

However, Portuguese and Spanish are two other languages.

Once the voice is louder and the tail tone is prolonged, it often comes with a "goal effect".

At this time, this supporter is introducing the appearance of the two teams in the final.

Naturally, he will shout at the top of his voice, and the tail tone will be dragged out for a long time.

For a while, in the LPL official event live broadcast room.

The screen was full of [Goal~~~~~~~~] [gggggggoal~~~~~~~~]

This is when I just opened the live broadcast room and thought I was in the wrong place.

I would mistakenly think I opened a live broadcast of a football match.

And it was the kind of goal that had just been scored!
