Chapter 228: To Chicago

That night, Lin Han invited the team to eat at a local restaurant in San Francisco, and tasted the local specialties and wines, which was considered a treat.

According to the temperament of this group of calves, they are never soft on their brothers, and naturally they don't save any money for Lin Han, and they spend a lot.

Full of wine and food, satisfied.

After returning to the hotel, all members of the SSR Club got together again for a regular post-game wrap-up meeting.

It is also a discussion of the upcoming quarterfinals.

"Overall, I think it's a good one for us."

Coach Zhou said to the players: "At least there is no team that draws the LCK like EDG and RNG. ”

It's a bit euphemistic, not just an ideal?

It should be ideal!

Three of the four teams that qualified in first place were from the LCK.

Excluding Samsung in the same group, there is a high probability of hitting the South Korean team by two-thirds, but I didn't expect them to meet the remaining third.

Pretty lucky, okay!

"H2K?"

Han Xin scratched his head: "They are also strong, EDG in the second round of the group stage was killed by them, and we are not so easy to play." ”

Hao Ren put his hands in the back of his head, leaned on the back of the chair, and whispered: "It's the quarterfinals, how can there be any weak team?" It's not easy to fight! ”

While listening to their conversation, Lin Han recalled some information before the crossing.

Team H2K, Europe's second seed, is the only team from the EU region to reach the quarterfinals.

Not only that, they also reached the semi-finals later, becoming the only surviving non-Korean team in the semi-finals of S6 that year.

Of course, in the semi-finals, they met the Samsung team, were defeated 3-0, and then eliminated.

But there is no denying that they are still a strong team.

"Brother."

Qin Tianyu said to Han Xin with a smile on his face: "You're going to face Yue Lun soon, are you excited, are you nervous?" ”

Qin Tianyu's words immediately reminded everyone, and they immediately looked at Han Xin's side.

And this stubble, I almost forgot.

H2K's mid-laner, but the legendary "Yue Wheel" - Ryu!

A veritable "legendary" player.

Whether it's a new player or an old player, and whether you care about the professional league or not, most people in the LOL circle know this meme to a greater or lesser extent.

The famous Double Tribulation War!

Two of the main actors, one is the great demon king Faker, and the other is Ryu.

The major highlights, videos and GIFs circulating on the Internet are regarded as the most famous scenes.

In the 2013 Korea OGN Summer Finals, Team SKT vs. Team KTB.

In the fifth game of life and death, due to the special blind selection mode of the rules at that time, both sides of the mid-laner were selected at the same time.

At that time, Ryu was already the top mid laner in Korea, while Faker was still a new star in his debut.

In that game, when Faker was demolishing the tower in the middle lane, he was caught by Ryu and crippled first.

Then the two staged a fancy operation show of a wave of Hokage.

However, judging from the results, Faker's skills were superior, and in just a few seconds, he showed off the other party, making Ryu, the most prestigious Korean top midlaner, completely reduced to a background board!

It was after that game that SKT entered the S3 Worlds and created the legend of that year, and Faker also rose to the top and became the Great Demon King.

On the other hand, Ryu fell to the bottom of the altar and left OGN to join the European and American divisions, and since then his career has been in a slump and there has been no major improvement.

Just because of one game, these two players embarked on diametrically opposite paths, and their future fates were very different, which made people can't help but sigh.

Of course, looking at this wave of double tribulation duel from a later perspective, there are certain limitations to Faker's ability to win, such as the mercury ribbon on his body, and the version at that time was able to solve the opponent's ultimate move, which is quite crucial.

But who cares so much?

Esports has always been about winners.

The result is a win, a loss, a sky show, and a show.

All arguments are pale and feeble.

At last year's S5 World Finals, SKT and H2K met in the group stage, and the two met again, but the result was still a defeat for Ryu.

H2K also fell in the group stage and failed to qualify.

This year, they came back and advanced to the quarterfinals.

More than 300 days and nights in a whole year!

Only he knows how eager Ryu is to stand in front of Faker again and take revenge to wash away his shame.

Because this is the mountain of his life!

Hao Ren clapped his hands: "Sanjin, this is the end of the calf, Yue Lun is going to Faker, you will be stepped on by him as a stepping stone!" ”

Lin Han smiled: "That's necessary, you are purely blocking the way of others." ”

I saw Han Xin shrug his shoulders and look indifferent: "Come on, I'm waiting, see if I don't arrange him, it's over." ”

"Ho ho ho, who arranges who is not certain!" Qin Tianyu said with a smile.

Everyone ridiculed Han Xin one after another, and they were happy for a while.

The crowd laughed.

"Actually, we're pretty good."

Hao Ren sighed: "Look at RNG and EDG, they want to play SSG and Tigers, isn't it much sadder than us?" ”

Han Xin nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't?" ”

The three teams of the LCK all qualified first in the group, which indirectly shows that they are still coming to the world stage with an absolutely strong attitude this year.

Although they won against Samsung not long ago, they have not yet been carried away by the victory and can keep their sanity.

was able to defeat SSG, but also because of some mistakes by the opponent, several waves of rhythm to gain an advantage, coupled with the lineup, the situation was downwind and not too much hindrance.

But they also know that this is not the case very often, no one can say what is going on in terms of the pace of the game, and with their current strength, facing a strong opponent in the LCK is not enough to completely control the situation.

Besides, it was just a BO1 against the other party.

As we all know, BO1 and BO5 are two very different concepts, and there are more things to consider.

It's not that simple.

Even if they win H2K, they will face the winner between EDG and ROX in the final four.

And, most likely, it's ROX......

As he spoke, before he knew it, everyone stopped talking and fell silent.

Each has its own thoughts.

Lin Han saw that the words were almost finished, and asked the coach, "Coach, we still have to fly to Chicago tomorrow, right?" ”

Coach Zhou nodded: "Yes, the plane in the morning." ”

"Okay, so be it for today." Lin Han said, "Don't stay up late tonight, don't think too much, and get up early tomorrow." ”

"Okay, good night."

Then they went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Han lay on the bed, after extinguishing the light, the surroundings fell into darkness, closed his eyes, but there were still many thoughts lingering in his mind.

Until the night, I gradually fell asleep......

Early the next morning, after breakfast, all SSR members flew to Chicago.
