Chapter 387: Stepping Stone Yue Lun
On October 19, Summergate arrived in New York with the team, and the two semifinals of the four teams will be held at Madison Square Garden in downtown soon.
From the group stage to the semi-finals, traveling to San Francisco, Chicago and New York, even Summer, who is always full of energy after being reborn, is a little sleepy after stepping off the plane.
The crowd rested in the hotel for the whole day.
On the second day, the organizers invited all contestants to participate in the filming of the promotional video for the semi-finals.
I thought that similar to the promotional video for the quarterfinals, it would be completed in two hours on location in the city, but the photographer's enthusiasm and dedication to the work far exceeded Summer's thoughts.
Four teams departed from the hotel.
On Summer's side, EDG five people started filming in Times Square in New York, then took a taxi to Brooks Bridge, where Hollywood's famous movie was created with a large number of river jumps, and finally returned to Madison Square Garden.
From front to back, filming began at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived in front of the venue at 5 o'clock in the evening, while several other teams going to landmark buildings such as the Empire State Building, the New York Subway, and Grand Central Terminal also arrived one after another.
Finally, the semi-finals are stared at by their rivals from the sidelines.
Faker and Yue Lun.
The director of the factory and the head of Ann.
However, considering Ka's special identity and the fact that the real soul of H2K should be the European local player Fiven instead of Korean aid, the scene where the star players of the four teams led the team into the stadium was filmed.
And here's the problem, shooting on location alone, because there is no reference of the same level, Summer's height is easy to hide under the photographer's superb skills.
For example, in the New York square, she and the huge billboard behind her complement each other, coupled with her already temperamental face, she feels like a fashion star when she shoots it. For example, when shooting on the bridge, I only took the half of the body leaning on the bridge, and the long hair fluttering in the wind was also very moving.
But in front of Madison Square Garden, her teammates were all taller than her, and she was suddenly three points shorter.
In the end, the photographer had to give up the idea and let Summer's four teammates squat on the ground, while she stood alone in the middle against the pillar of the entrance passage and finished the shooting.
Of course, the picture shot in this way is very harmonious, but the director and IKO smiled bitterly after shooting.
The two of them can already guess the comments released by the promotional video this time - it is estimated that it will have to be the same as when I went out before, saying that Ka was leading four dogs!
He also completed the shooting of the pre-competition interview in the museum.
Finally, this toss ended, and the entire promotional film was filmed until more than six o'clock in the evening.
The crowd had a slightly more expensive dinner in the heart of New York before driving back to the hotel.
The next day, the cut promotional video was put out.
Sure enough, when I saw the last shot of EDG, the Internet was full of remarks ridiculing the relationship between the players.
However, compared to EDG's full team shots, or the beautiful pictures of Sakura Girls, e-sports audiences are really more interested in the story of the game, even if it is the story of two men.
Faker and Yue Lun, who are looking at each other in the middle of the traffic outside Madison Square Garden, is undoubtedly the most topical scene at the moment!
In the Double Tribulation War, the Flying Emperor became famous in the first battle, and Yue Lun ran away with hatred!
After three years, things are not people, one is struggling for life in Europe, and the other is already on the road to becoming a god.
….
The similarities are that the two of them have matured a lot, the faker under the lens has a surging beard, and Yue Lun has gained weight again.
Is it faker who reproduces the suppression of the day, or Yue Lun's revenge succeeds!
Although there is a huge gap in the strength of the two teams, the competition is extremely hot with the label of the Double Tribulation War and the European and Korean War.
Even Summertop is curious about the first half of the game!
You must know that in the parallel world before her rebirth, H2K lost to SSG in the semifinals and missed the fight against SKT, although Yue Lun entered the World Championship again in S8 later, but SKT was absent from the world at that time
Journey to the World Race.
In the end, until Yue Lun retired from military service, these two former rivals did not fight each other for the second time in the official competition, but only played a double robbery solo match at Yue Lun's retirement ceremony, and the double robbery war ended with the youth of a generation of audiences.
However, in this world, because of her fanning butterfly, the world matchup between faker and Yue Lun came true.
I really don't know whether to say that Yue Lun is lucky or unlucky.
But for Mixia, a lively audience, it is of course extremely happy to see this kind of topical game!
Don't expect H2K to win even one game, even if it is three games, as long as you can see Faker kill Yue Lun alone or vice versa, even if it is definitely worth the ticket price!
……
The pre-game promotional video successfully fermented the heat of the game, and by October 22nd, SKT and H2K were the first to appear!
Summertime and her teammates ate weird-tasting fried rice and dumplings from a local Chinese restaurant in New York at the hotel, and watched the game in the next half of the district.
This BO5 is absolutely cruel to European and American audiences, especially European audiences.
The ambitious SKT sent H2K away early with a clean 3-0, and even at a pace that K can hypnotize the audience, the game that started at six o'clock and ended at nine o'clock was very fast.
European spectators who stayed up late at 11 a.m. to watch the game could even get a good night's sleep at 2 o'clock.
However, for viewers like Mixia, who have long predicted the outcome of the game and just want to see the effect of the show, the whole game is really interesting.
In the first two games, Yue Lun also went to play with the goal of winning the game, taking out Victor and the snake girl, but not only did he not take advantage of it, the team lost the game, but he himself was killed by faker on the way.
In the last game, Yue Lun finally realized the gap between the teams, and he didn't want to win, so he selected his signature hero Enchantress in S, and only asked for a single kill.
However, he found a chance to go head-to-head with the Faker Clockwork Demon Spirit in the middle of the game, and in the past, QRE emptied the most important chain, and it was impossible to kill, and on the way back to the second stage, he ate the clockwork R flash again!
Then he was beaten out of the passive [Ghost Shadow] and divided into two demon queens, Yue Lun manipulated the real demon queen to the left and the fake demon queen to the right.
But faker clockwork Q guessed that it was a real enchantress! Connected to Ping A to complete the counter-kill!
The final wonderful mid-laner duel drew an end to the BO5 in the first half of the semi-finals.
Three years ago, Faker would be beaten to 2-2 by Yue Lun and forced to split life and death in a double-robbery duel.
Three years later, in three games, Yue Lun could no longer touch any of SKT's second towers.
The genius is still climbing the mountain, and the stepping stone of the past has fallen far behind him.
So in the face of Sjokz's question, "After the quarterfinals, many viewers began to think that EDG was the more likely team to win the World Championship, and some people said that KA is a more talented player than Faker, did those analyses and ideas affect you? How are you going to prove yourself in the next finals?"
Faker looked at the audience and replied calmly, "I believe that KA may be the strongest midlaner at the moment, and EDG also has the strength to win the championship. But I still believe in my progress, and from the i to the Worlds, my teammates and I are going step by step and getting stronger and stronger! I'm confident that in the final, we will be stronger than anyone else!"
He felt that if EDG made it to Worlds, KA would be the best stepping stone for him to reach the Worlds again.
Just like Yue Lun Ryu who used to be treated!
