What an uproar!

The first person who knew the Weibo news and came to ask was none other than Rng.

"Puppy, are you crazy? G2 is also a quarter-final team no matter how you say it, okay, your career is really coming to an end if you overturn it like this."

Xiao Ming took the lead and walked in, talking as he walked, his anxiety overflowing.

"Yes, yes, I can understand you when you say that you voted for an adc hero, now look at what is under the vote!!"

"Yasuo? Parker? Robot? Rock Sparrows? ”

Chris's face was full of anger, and he wanted to criticize Li Luo with his mobile phone.

Although the two were good friends in the past, this approach is now as if no one is in sight and arrogant, which is an unforgivable mistake for a professional player in competitive games.

"Ah, Ah, I'm 100% sure I'll win the game when the time comes, come, we'll be ..."

Motioning for a few people to sit down first, Li Luo began his own speech that could be called brainwashing.

After a while, the atmosphere in the tense room became harmonious, and from time to time, laughter was heard.

Compared with the gradual harmony inside, public opinion in the outside world is like the eye of the storm that has accumulated energy, waiting for an opportunity to either erupt into a terrifying natural disaster or dissipate invisibly.

Weibo was sent out only two hours ago, and in the middle of the night near 12 o'clock, not only likes, but also comments and retweets were rising in a terrifying trend.

By noon the next day, it created the first million comments on Weibo of League of Legends e-sports players.

This time, the war is not only burning to the back resistance, but even the official main bar League of Legends, lol, the people of CPDD are gone on weekdays, and nine out of ten posts are discussing random heroes.

"On Uzi's hero pool, there is a lot of data analysis in it, and this article tells you how many mysterious weapons there are in Uzi's arsenal"

"Please vote for Vn, although the puppy asked us to vote, but don't vote for those weird assistants!"

"Uzi's wave is simply ruining his character? is so arrogant, if you lose, retire directly! ”

"Hehe, people's G2 is the whole job, Rng is a bad character, double standard one set after another, iron and iron"

"110,000, 10,000 people ask for Yasuo's vote, you vote, I vote, Yasuo will make his debut tomorrow"

"I'm going to rush Yasuo out too, Jian Zihao's Yasuo is shining in the World Championship, tsk...."

Under the popularity of voting random heroes, League of Legends officials found that the number of votes on Weibo actually exceeded the trend of all-star voting.

The first place Yasuo, in just one day, led the second place Teemo with 1380W votes and 920W votes.

At this time, the League of Legends official couldn't sit still, and after contacting the Weibo official and Li Luo, he made an official voting page for the first time in history.

"The quarterfinals, the heroes used by zi are up to you!" 》

The voting period is until the 18th, two days before the start of the quarterfinals, and players who have reached League of Legends Summoner level 30 will have one vote to vote for any hero.

When every player who doesn't pay attention to the game but plays the game clicks on the League of Legends client and sees the title in the middle, they are confused.

You know, this is the supreme temple of League of Legends professional players! When would anyone dare to do that?

As more and more players join, the votes are getting more and more terrifying.

By the time the deadline of 12 noon on the 18th was reached, all the lottery results were officially settled on the page, and the voting channels were locked.

Yasuo: 8631W votes (Weibo source: 5630W votes)

Timo: 6630W votes (Weibo source: 4870W votes)

Galen: 4200W votes (Weibo source... ）

Barbarian King: 2900W votes (Weibo source... ）

...

Under the funny influence of netizens, all ADCs basically fell out of the top 20 on the list, and those left in the top 10 were either heroes who had never appeared in professional competitions, or Uzi's "reward" heroes in the rank.

Yasuo won the appearance spot with an absolute advantage of 2001W votes and became the expectation of everyone.

All players who like happy wind men, on the day after the voting ended, it was like the New Year, and even hundreds of thousands of users poured in to congratulate the wind sword hao post bar.

By now, random hero voting is no longer an individual-led event, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a carnival for all League of Legends players.

How fresh is it to help your favorite pros choose heroes?

On the other side, after the voting ended, Li Luo also saw the voting results and laughed.

It's normal for netizens to want to see Uzi play Yasuo, but he didn't expect Yasuo to get more than 80 million votes.

In League of Legends, where there are only millions of daily active users, this high vote value is a bit scary.

After opening the system and finding Yasuo's proficiency, Li Luo was happy at a glance, and Uzi's Yasuo's proficiency was only two stars.

Basically, two stars are ordinary diamond levels, of course, this is the mastery of hero skills.

With the reflexes that have now surpassed the limit, even if it is a two-star, Li Luo is confident that he will play at the level of three stars or even four stars.

But if you want to destroy G2's confidence, this proficiency is obviously not enough.

In Li Luo's imagination, he will not only have to play this voting hero, but also play until the G2 mentality explodes, for fear that he will take it out next.

The next moment, a long sword emitting crimson blood appeared out of thin air, and the moment it appeared, the entire room seemed to have the feeling that it could not bear the energy and was about to collapse.

As a blue ripple flashed, the longsword fell silent when the training code also appeared on the side.

Sword of Aatrox: Characteristic 1: Sacrifice [Sacrifice the proficiency of one hero, switch to another hero, the sacrifice hero will never be able to be increased by external force, and the proficiency will be locked. 】

Trait 2: Rapid Kill [Locked]

...

Every time he saw the Sword of Aatrox, Li Luo couldn't hide his shock.

This equipment drawn after the Asian Games, not to mention the weirdness of the item itself, these characteristics alone are enough to make people incomprehensible.

Reciting the name of the sword girl silently in his heart, a light appeared on the blade, and he silently recited Yasuo's name again, and in the burst of hissing, containing the details of the operation of the unequaled sword hime, the memory of various skills is rapidly disappearing, and it is replaced by Yasuo's various novel skills.

On the system panel, Yasuo's proficiency is also like taking a train, and after Jian Ji completely dropped one star, Yasuo came to level five.

...

October 20th.

Today is the opening day of the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Championships.

RNG everyone got up early in the morning, packed up their periphery, and after breakfast, took an exclusive bus to the competition venue.

The final eight matches of S8 will still be held in Busan, and the semifinals will go to Gwangju, and the finals will be held in Incheon.

The buildings on the road were rapidly receding, and looking at the stadium on the front window glass of the bus, despite having been playing here for several days, today, the RNG people could still feel the difference between the group stage and the quarterfinals.

In the ratings of the S competition every year, except for the finals, the quarterfinals are the highest.

Eight teams, the 20th and 21st two-day schedule, but almost covered nearly 80% of the heat and stalks of the S competition.

Almost every year, the memes and famous scenes are born from the quarterfinals.

Entering the quarterfinals, the competition system has officially changed from a round-robin system to a brutal BO5 elimination system, with the winner in the next round and the loser going home directly.

On October 20th, there will be a BO5 match between the four teams in the left half.

When the RNG bus came to the parking lot of the venue and parked, everyone got off the bus only to find that the RW and IG buses had been parked.

The Rw crowd, who usually giggled and laughed, looked solemn, and walked straight to the venue with their peripheral backpacks.

"They're gathering momentum, Steak is a good coach, and I guess I've done a lot of ideological work these days," Chris said softly on the side.

Although there is no sword and sword shadow in League of Legends games, just like marching and fighting, momentum is very important.

With momentum and determination, we can have resilience and turn the tables on the Jedi.

Now the LPL team is no longer its own brother, but an enemy who fights to the death on the battlefield.

No one wants to laugh and laugh with the enemy, and it is a fool's dream to step on other people's corpses to advance without hurting and being angry.

Seeing Rng's bus, Ah Shui said hello from afar, and followed the team to silently enter from the other side.

"Take it easy, they are expected to play full BO5 today, let's just play BO3"

Looking at the few people who were a little nervous because of the momentum of the two teams, Li Luo took the initiative to help everyone relieve the pressure.

However, the two substitutes on the side, Xiao Tian and Xiao Dongdong, were a little excited because they got some kind of promise from Chris.

"Alas, you said that we were nervous when we hit G2" As the captain, Xiaohu took a deep breath and pretended to be calm.

"Isn't it, Li Yuanhao, didn't you call your dad last night and say that you were nervous? Why did you put it up today? The incense pot that lived in the same room with Xiaohu unabashedly tore off the disguise.

"Roll on, I am bound to win this S championship, no one knows how to play a good mid laner better than me!"

Along the way, before the others had time to get nervous, they were made to laugh by the bickering of Xiaohu and Xiangguo.

While talking and laughing, the Riot photographer hiding in the corner of the parking lot once again captured the state of several teams between them.

The open-air parking lot is open to the public.

There are a lot of people outside the stadium today, and although there are security guards and guardrails, you can still see the faces of many Chinese people cheering in the vast crowd of spectators.

After seeing Rng and a few people coming, the crowd who were still cheering for ig and rw suddenly turned their guns, and for a while, the sound of shouting Rng could not stop for a long time.

Although they were accustomed to the scene of the competition and saw so many people supporting them, the RNG crowd was still slightly agitated in their hearts, held their heads high, strode into the stadium, and began to wait for the game.

One o'clock in the afternoon KST.

In the live broadcast room, which was watched by countless viewers around the world, and the fans in the Busan stadium, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, became excited as the time got closer.

Suddenly, the closed microphone suddenly came from the clock.

Immediately afterwards, with the appearance of the host, there were no bells and whistles of the opening ceremony, and the scene directly began to count down.

With the end of the countdown, with a few bangs, fireworks burst above the venue, officially announcing the start of the quarterfinals of the S8 World Finals!

On the big screen in the center of the stadium, a cool animation of the fist played quickly, and as the fist logo fell heavily, the screen shattered and transitioned, entering the pre-match preparations.

The lights in the center of the stage dimmed, and the pre-match trailer prepared on the screen began to play simultaneously.

This is a promotional video shot at the foot of the mountain, and as the camera is raised, the whole view of the mountain peak appears in front of everyone's eyes.

At the foot of the mountain, the "veteran strong team" C9 and a group of five people silently climbed the mountain, as the camera zoomed in, the women's ad turned around, and said indifferently:

"Except for S1, which did not participate, and S5, which was in the top 16, our C9 has always been in the top 8 over the years, and has never broken through the top 8, and now, we will face the strongest team in history, skt."

Jungler Svenskeren also stopped, turned around, and looked at the foot of the mountain:

"What does Skt say... They were really strong before, the No. 1 seed in LCK, and they have the strength to crush us."

"So we can't..."

The five of them said in unison: "Do your best!" ”

The camera quickly zoomed up, leaving the C9 group silently climbing the mountain and moving to another team that was climbing the mountain.

With the surging BGM, RW people also appeared in the camera, laughing as they walked.

This time, the officials did not give the five a chance to speak, but the smile on their faces was louder than any words.

As the BGM rises, the two love-hate teams of G2 and fnc appear together.

Ah P smiled: "This year I and CAPS are very unlucky, our team met Rng, who won all the group stage, they met KT, and even after drawing this sign, there are already many people who have said that the champion has been decided, they are so strong, so strong that people can't see hope"

"However, I will tell them with strength that this is the strongest year for Eu"

As soon as the picture turned, in the group stage of Group A, with a crazy operation of Ah P, he won four kills.

The commentators from Europe and the United States shouted passionately: "G2, they broke out of the group of death, they defeated TL and Fw, and successfully reached the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Finals!" ”

CAPS also replied with a relaxed face: "Before the game, everyone was not optimistic that we could beat KT, but we will use our strength to tell you the difference between the first and second seeds!"

The camera is up, and on the mountainside, the figures of KT and IG appear.

This time, both teams also chose to do the same as Rw, without saying anything, just walking up step by step with a firm pace.

"If Rng loses to us, it means that all teams in the LPL will be eliminated again this year"

The voices of SKT and the others stood on the right side of the mountain like gods, appearing in front of the camera.

A voiceover popped up:

“faker！！ It's game over! Faker is down! ”

The camera shifts to the back with the voiceover, and the faker who is swept up in clothes as the mountain breeze blows:

"We won the most titles at the World Finals"

"World Finals, Double S Championship, Skt's dominance continues!" The footage cuts quickly to several shots of Faker holding the trophy.

"At the World Finals, it's us who really deserve to sit on that throne!"

With Faker's bold words, tens of thousands of Korean fans in the stadium instantly went crazy and stood up and chanted Faker's ID.

The picture also seemed to stop with the audience's cry, and suddenly went black.

Moved to a scene that all Koreans don't want to see:

"Five kills! Kasumi's five kills killed Skt's hopes of advancing to the finals, and skt fell in the semifinals! RNG is going to the finals! ”

"Puppy! The three-piece puppy set has been made! Boss Ann has no power to resist! Ann is down! ”

"Wilt, withered can't stop it, dismantle, dismantle, dismantle the base!"

"Congratulations to Rng, congratulations to them for winning the 2017 World Finals, the LPL region broke through the blockade of the LCK, we are the champions!!"

In the picture, looking at Samsung's loneliness, looking at Rng who is holding the trophy and enjoying the golden rain, at the scene in South Korea, all Korean fans' eyes are bloodshot and almost want to explode.

At the top of the mountain, the Rng people who were looking at another mountain peak from afar were confident and high-spirited, looking at the sea of clouds in the distance, with an indifferent expression.

Xiangguo's words sounded first: "This SKT's record has told everyone that their dominance is weakening, MSI, we also finished them with a crisp 3-0, this time, there will be no surprises"

"Last year we won SKT, won Samsung, everyone said we were lucky, this time, we will use your so-called "luck" to continue to defend the title, hehe" Xiaohu's words are still underbeaten, but in the ears of LPL fans, it is much more comfortable.

"In the history of the league, only skt has won the S championship twice in a row, this year, we will break this record, next year, we will surpass this record, we will show everyone with our actions, this is our time!"

As Uzi's last words spoke, the phrase "This is our time" seemed to echo in the valley.

The camera zooms out and disappears into the clouds.

The promotional video officially ended, and the scene bloomed again, and as the host announced the curtain, IG and Rw appeared in an orderly manner from both sides.

The opening match of the S8 quarterfinals began.

Thousands of pairs of eyes fell on everyone on the stage at the same time, and with the referee's order, both sides began to make BPs.

From the first set, Rw didn't have the idea of testing IG at all, and directly took out his own magic weapon, which was bound to win the first set to lay the foundation.

Titan mid-laner, Parker up-single, centaur jungler, death song AD, Japanese female support.

This is a lineup led by Death Song and Pike's follow-up killings, with the strength of Titans and Japanese girls in the early and middle stages, and the follow-up control of people and horses.

IG kills and kills, choosing Jace for Theshy and Rookie getting Sindra.

But as soon as the 20 minutes arrived, Jace and Sindra, the two heroes who had no displacement, were in full swing, and the sky was shattered.

All the advantages accumulated in the early stage of ig were destroyed by wave after wave of team battles, and there was no way to restrain this Rw at all.

Although the shy teacher on the road is strong, there is no countermeasure in this kind of dead song with an R and a half blood, and Pike enters the harvest game.

ig lost the first game, and Rw got the first win.

In the second set, Coach Kim decisively changed the formation and pressed Pike and Death Song to death in the bp stage, not giving Rw a chance to play tricks.

But Coach Kim forgot that Doinb's Titan was still outside, and Ah Guang dreamed back to his days in EDG, facing the sword demon of Theshy, and took out a twisted tree spirit to resist pressure ultimately.

In the face of ig, Rw resisted the pressure, and once again used the wandering ability developed by doinb, with Liu Qingsong's hammer stone, to hit the feeling of S9fpx in advance, and the shoe king became a breakthrough.

When Rw won the match point 2-0, everyone watching the game was shocked, and it seemed that they did not understand why ig, who was obviously in better form, was able to be beaten by Rw for two consecutive games.

Even Li Luo, who was watching the game backstage, was shocked, whether S9's fpx or S8's ig was strong has always been a topic of debate, but now, there seems to be an answer.

Once you can resist the impact of S8's shy teacher on the road, S8 has not yet matured in Ah Shui, as long as the shoe king is lost, ig seems to be drunk and can't find the direction of attack.

Thirdly, as soon as he got on the field, Coach Kim first banned the Titans and wanted to limit Doinb's hero pool.

It's a pity that Galio is still outside, and the ig who has broken the tactics has been broken, although he is not facing a Titan, but under Rw's multi-point support, Baolan's efficiency is completely inferior to Liu Qingsong.

There was no suspense, and Rw, who was not favored before the game, won ig 3-0.

It's hard to buy, and you know it early!

When Rw deciphered IG's tactics, even if IG's personal strength was against the sky, it was still impossible to escape the fate of being swept away!
