Chapter 400 and 13: Tremendous Pressure
Their plane to Guangzhou was on the same plane as Team IG, and they flew off immediately after returning to the hotel after the match.
Similarly, the Korean team was on the same plane as them.
Because all the official staff also have to go to Guangzhou, and the number is not a few, Riot is chartering this time.
Of course, the LPL team and the LCK team did not sit together, and when the plane flew smoothly, everyone above the plane began to talk.
The two sides said different things, and the funny thing is that when the LPL team was talking, they looked in the direction of the LCK from time to time, and similarly, the LCK players also looked at their side from time to time when they spoke, and the two sides mentioned each other's players or the names of the team from time to time!
They were opponents of each other in the Final Four.
Gu Linshan also looked over from time to time, and the faces of the old three stars were all plain.
Indeed, the two teams in the two divisions, SKT and the old Samsung are all veterans of the battle, including the two newcomers in SKT, HUni and Little Peanut, although they are said to have joined SKT this year, but they also performed very well in the S competition in other teams.
Among the IV team and the IG team, the IG team is okay, they have three veterans in their team: Duke, Rookie and Kid, and the bottom lane combination is a brand new person.
But the five members of Team IV are completely newcomers, and it's the first time they've played in such a high-level league.
In fact, after the victory over Team KT, Team IV has already caused a lot of discussion around the world, and the experience of this team is so legendary that Riot is already working on a promotional video for Team IV.
As for the domestic media, they are about to blow the IV team over!
And this is just the beginning, if Team IV can continue to win, it will be more glory for them!
The Korean team is now more and more dominant, even surpassing S4, and the IV team was able to defeat the powerful KT team, which has pushed their prestige to the peak, even surpassing the OMG who defeated the NJS in the first place, and the momentum of the heavenly team is still formed.
If they keep winning, the team's popularity will grow by leaps and bounds!
There is no doubt that with the current popularity of LOL in China and even the world, if they can really win the world championship of the S competition in one go, their prestige and fame will reach an unparalleled level!
No matter who these five people are, they will be coaxed by all live broadcast platforms, and they are all sky-high contracts!
In the land of e-sports, what determines popularity is still the result after all!
On a plane, teams from two regions were talking about each other, and there was no direct conversation between the two sides, only Duke and SKT people were more familiar with each other, and occasionally went to talk to SKT people!
A year ago, he was still at SKT, but now, in a few days, he will be playing against SKT on the same field!
This is also e-sports, and e-sports is the business field!
He got what he wanted at SKT, Grand Slam, LOL all the titles, and then, he left SKT for IG in search of his high salary.
This is also some of the problems that the IV team itself may have, after winning the championship, the team has won honors, they have all gained fame, and they want to pursue more money for the sake of the future.
And once they win the championship, some of the current salaries can't meet them, but offering too high a salary is too much pressure for the IV team.
So if Team IV wins the S Championship, it's hard to say what direction the team will go in now.
Of course, these are all afterwords!
Not long after, the plane stopped in Guangzhou, although it was early in the morning, but when the people of the IV team and the IG team came out of the passage, the scene was actually crowded with a lot of fans, who had just finished watching the game and immediately came to support the IV team.
Of course, there are also some fans of old Samsung and SKT, who don't fit in with the surrounding environment!
These fans are also Chinese, but even at this time, their choice is to support foreign teams.
Of course, this is also the old Samsung and SKT with their own efforts, SKT plays anywhere in the world with their cheers, this is a proof.
Surrounded by a group of fans, the four Zhan Yu stayed at the hotel!
The next is still a normal training match, and for a few days, the IV team has stayed at home, they are all training frantically, and Yang Ming is constantly discussing the lineup with the players and developing the lineup. At the same time, it shows itself in training matches!
Most of their training matches are now played with four teams, including SKT.
Of course, Koreans never expose their own things in training matches, and the people of Team IV naturally don't expose too much, most of their training matches are still with the IG team, and the training with the Korean team is mainly to touch some of the opponent's alignment habits and other things. Won't fight with all his might.
In fact, the Koreans have been average in training matches since S5!
For example, TSM like to play as hard as they can in training matches, so they will brag before every game that they are invincible in training matches, but after the main game, it becomes a Muggle hanging day.
A week flies quickly, on the Saturday of the third week of the S competition, the semi-finals will start at Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium!
Yes, the venue for this competition is Tianhe Stadium, which is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and even more than the number of spectators in the finals!
But when the ticket was issued, the place was quickly snapped up.
There are two games in two days, and the Chinese team is involved, which is a great thing.
On Friday night, Gu Linshan couldn't sleep all the time!
The other members of the IV team seemed to be used to the rhythm of the S competition, and they all slept quite quietly, but Gu Linjiao couldn't sleep anyway, and the closer he got to the game, the more pressure he felt in his heart!
Their game was on Sunday, and tomorrow's game wasn't theirs at all, but he couldn't sleep anyway.
In the next game, he faced not simply Dandy alone, but Dandy and Mata!
This team can be said to be the strongest Nosuke combination in LOL history, Mata's vision control is really cool for Dandy's jungler to write, and Dandy can focus on his jungler position, Mata is a very amazing conductor!
Among the IV team, although Zhang Wei's style of play is also biased towards wandering, Gu Linshan's style of play is more in line with the jumping knife, and Nosuke Shuangyou does not play very much in the IV team, they play more of a midfield linkage style of play.
In the face of these two legendary players, the pressure on him was really huge, and he couldn't sleep in bed for a long time, so he got up and planned to go to the restaurant to find something to eat.
When he first arrived at the restaurant, he found that Guo Yier was actually in the restaurant, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a cup of coffee in front of her, the spoon in her hand was constantly sliding on it, and at the same time her head was looking out the window, her face was furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
She looked intellectual, Gu Linshan couldn't help but look at it outside, it was the first time he had seen such a temperament in Guo Yi'er!
He smiled, ran to Guo Yi'er and sat down after ordering the meal and said, "Yo, my beauty Guo Da doesn't sleep so late is thinking about me?" ”
Guo Yi'er turned her head when she heard Gu Linshan's voice and glanced at him and said, "Why haven't you slept yet, it's already two o'clock in the morning." ”
"I can't sleep under too much pressure, aren't you thinking about something to do with me? Don't worry, I'll be gentle. Gu Linjiao thought of the stalk in the previous quarterfinals, and couldn't help but joke.
Guo Yi'er glanced at him disdainfully and said, "Do you dare?" If you dare, we'll open a room right away. ”
"I'm grass." Gu Linshan couldn't help but scold, he never expected Guo Yi'er to be so fierce, and he opened his mouth directly!
He was stunned all of a sudden, waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Talking about playing, why can't you sleep." ”
"I always feel ......," Guo Yi'er sighed, "If we win the championship, the team will be scattered." ”
When Gu Linjiao heard her words, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "You... What did you find? ”
