Chapter 541: The Final Four Are Out!
"3 to 0! Let's congratulate the Thorn Birds team for advancing to the Final Four with a complete victory! ”
On the commentary seat, Guan Zeyuan's enthusiasm was not over: "We all know that last year's EDG handed in an unprecedented answer sheet in the S competition, and we said at that time that it may be difficult for a later team to surpass this legendary result." ”
"But now, the Thorn Bird is moving towards the record set by EDG last year, and Brother Luo is also trying to surpass their own record, can they do it?!"
Guan Zeyuan is passionate about what he said here, but the barrage has already exploded.
"Guan Zeyuan, shut up!"
", I originally thought that the Thorn Bird had a chance this year, but now that the colonel has opened his mouth, I think it will be gone this year."
"Brother Luo's keyboard is bubbling with milk."
"I have to say that this year's EDG is not weak, well, I was surprised by their performance at the World Championships, they were too stable."
"Upstairs, you're defaulting to FPX and you're going to lose when you play EDG, right?"
"FPX played like that bird in the group stage, he will definitely lose when he plays EDG, he won't lose my live broadcast and eat!"
……
In the midst of the audience's discussion, Li Luo led a group of thorn birds to the DWG team's battle seat.
The showmaker, who had been completely stunned before, had already stood up, although he looked a little embarrassed, and he could see clear bloodshot in his eyes, but showmaker's expression was unexpectedly calm.
Bow your head, bend slightly, and bend very low when shaking hands.
A trace of waves flashed in Li Luo's eyes.
Xu Xiu.
Before the rebirth, Showmaker won the world championship in S10.
At that time, they showed a very invincible posture and showed their dominance.
But Showmaker during the S9 period hasn't received much attention yet.
Li Luo once felt that although Showmaker's personal ability was outstanding, it was not to the point of being particularly top-notch, and in the finals, he played back and forth with Suning's mid-laner Angel, you must know that the once dominant mid-laner of LCK could make the opponent's mid-laner a BO5 down without any news.
However, Black Angel did have a highlight in that BO5, and the reason why it was not mentioned after that was also because it was completely covered by the "bright" light on the lower road ADC.
If the rating of each contestant is 10, then Li Luo thinks that the rating of Showmaker's various abilities is around 9.
He's a super-top player, but he seems to be a drop off the top.
It's not uncommon for a midlaner like Showmaker to be seen in the past.
But games aside, Showmaker gives Li Luo a completely different feeling from other LCK players.
When the two shook hands, Li Luo could feel that the temperature of the latter's hand was normal.
For professional players, if they want to know what the opponent's mentality is after a match, the temperature of the hand is often a more conventional reflection.
Most of the players who are deformed will have cold hands.
And it can't be warmed up for a long time.
It's the same in life, often when you suffer a major blow and cause psychological problems, your hands will be cold.
However, Showmaker's hand temperature was normal, and his hand was the only one warm compared to the other DWG players.
This shows that his mentality has gradually adjusted back at this time, or rather...... Accept the fact that you have failed.
Such people are terrible.
As long as his fighting spirit doesn't dissipate, such a quick mindset adjustment will allow Showmaker to take it even further in the coming year.
At this time, Li Luo suddenly hesitated in his heart.
It's not that he's worried about whether the LPL team will lose to the LCK team next year after he leaves the field.
It's because if Showmaker can go one step further next year, it might be fun to play against a team like that.
However, this thought was only cleared from Li Luo's mind as soon as it emerged.
If Showmaker is AD, then he might be more interested.
……
In the post-game interview, Li Luo did not become a riddler for the first time, nor did he insinuate.
Although the DWG team is young, it does give Li Luo a different feeling, they are crazy, but they are also very pure.
It is worthy of the team that came all the way up from the Internet café.
Such a team is undoubtedly rare for the entire League of Legends professional circle.
Therefore, Li Luo even expressed a kind of praise for the fighting spirit of the DWG team and even the team's ideas in the interview.
This also surprised the Korean media.
You must know that every time they see Li Luo being interviewed, they will have one head and two big.
But when Li Luo interviewed, they were often given a kind of thing, there was nothing wrong with the first listen, but if they learned about Chinese culture, and then analyzed what this person said through words, the more they listened, the more wrong it became, and they always felt that he was yin and yang, and he was aggressive and hostile.
But this time, the answer to the question was actually normal.
The first game of the quarterfinals has come to an end.
For the LPL division, they were very optimistic about the Thorn Birds before this game, and many players were quite happy when they really won.
Because it means that the LPL has already guaranteed the finals.
Another match, the matchup between EDG and FPX, kicked off on the second day of the quarterfinals.
And before the game, the various commentators gave their predictions.
More than ninety percent of the commentators are more optimistic about the EDG team.
Most of these commentaries give a score of 3-1 or 3-0, which is really because the stability gap between the two teams is too huge, although EDG has been tepid throughout the year, it has a bit of a taste of the S6 and S7 periods.
At that time, EDG was also strong, but it was able to find fault with their fundamentals.
The current EDG is completely different.
They have a stable upper road Jingong like an old father, a Xiaotian who is on the rise and a state that is gradually exploding, and a stable carry point in the middle of the road like a small generation, as well as Meiko who is like a sea god needle in the lower road and Lin Weixiang, who is known as "Mosaic Li Luo".
The description given by Sha Wither netizens is still very explosive, Li Luo was drinking water when he saw this news, and he sprayed it directly.
As for the netizen's explanation, Li Luo also read it, Lin Weixiang used to die violently, and now his words are much more stable, but the hidden violent death attribute still exists, after all, Lin Weixiang's style of playing in a group is very daring, but he is relatively weak in the line period.
Based on Lin Weixiang's gap between the lower limit and the upper limit, the term "mosaic" was given.
As for FPX, although the performance in the second round of the group stage was okay, the team's problems are still serious to the naked eye.
However, one of the commentators gave a different score from the others.
That is Guan Zeyuan.
Guan Zeyuan's prediction was 3 to 2, with EDG winning.
The reason is that he believes in FPX's creative ability and will not be easily taken down by EDG.
& I have to say, his prediction was bold and the reason was correct.
However, when FPX and EDG became anxious in the second day's match, the expressions of countless players became subtle.
fpx…… Playing EDG is actually an advantage.
In the first two games, FPX and EDG won one and lost one.
But either way, FPX is doing very strongly.
Xiaotian's prince seems to have borrowed it from S10, and he began to deform after trying to play fast-paced by Sofm after two waves of operation in the wild area.
Even the low-level mistake of flashing EQ and putting it into QE appeared.
This was the main reason why the EDG team lost in the first hand.
The second EDG can be beaten back, also because the old problem of FPX is still there, and their wave of decision-making mistakes in the middle and late stages directly sent EDG a big wave, and under the excellent command of Meiko, the EDG team successfully counterattacked to complete the turnaround.
When the two sides were tied and on the same starting line, EDG's backstage lounge was restless.
If victory is all about the opponent's mistakes, then how should this game be played?
Abu ruthlessly woke up a wave of players and made them sober up, so that in the third game, EDG relied on the BP advantage of the blue side and excellent operation performance to reach the next level!
At this time, all EDG fans felt stable.
But in the fourth, Doinb's Ruiz exploded.
In a single 43-minute game, Doinb's Ruiz cut down the output of 5.1W, and dragged the bottom lane Hope, which was a little explosive in the early stage.
Fifth, 957 took out Nar, and in the case of some small disadvantages in the early stage of the team, a wave of team battles combined with Doinb's Kree Impact, TP circled and dealt a devastating blow to the EDG crowd who were a little scattered in the formation type.
A slap knocked the four of them to the wall, and Hope's Kai'Sa stepped on her W Void to ask for the enemy and quickly entered the field, blowing up EDG in waves.
The final score, 3 to 2!
Only Guan Zeyuan guessed the score correctly!
Although the other way around.
FPX counterattacked EDG and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
Doinb didn't shed tears on the stage this time, but played a chic combination monkey punch under the camera.
And they did.
The players on Team EDG's side were beaten a little autistic.
The brutality of esports is also vividly reflected in this moment.
Although EDG has already won the championship.
But who dislikes having fewer champions?
Most people reflect when they fail.
This reflection is also the driving force for humanity to move forward.
But what I am most afraid of is that after reflection, I found that I and the team did not swell and did not make mistakes.
But still lost.
This kind of unwillingness will fill the entire brain in an instant.
The news of FPX's upset shattering EDG's dream of two crowns has spread.
In this BO5, FPX's creativity and their highly ornamental style of play have won the recognition of countless players.
No one expected that there would be such an explosive BO5 in the second half of the originally calm area.
In contrast, there was not so much suspense in the first half of the game.
Griffin's quality was good, but I don't know if it was because they were knocked unconscious by the Thorn Birds in the group stage or something else, but when facing the experienced SKT, Griffin's performance felt like a child who had learned the same thing as his big brother.
Completely controlled by the pace of SKT's operations.
Viper, who was on the lower lane, faced the rock-solid Bang and failed to tear the crack to make a breakthrough.
On the contrary, Chaowei was targeted many times by the rhythmic combination of faker and clid.
On the road, Khan showed the dominance of this year's LCK when he faced his own domestic top single sword emperor.
Three in a row, the Sword Emperor was beaten three times, directly turning the team into a situation of 4 to 6.
SKT beat Griffin in three games, and the total number of heads that broke out on both sides in the three games combined was more than 20.
There is no doubt that this is a BO5 with a very LCK tournament style.
It's also a bo5 that can put a lot of players to sleep.
However, there were also a significant number of players who touted Team SKT's performance after the match.
"Look, this is the real quality bureau of League of Legends."
"SKT's operation is even more terrifying, and it feels like it's not a bad thing for them to lose MSI, so they can position themselves well, devote themselves to training, and put their all foot in the face of the LPL team."
"Rational analysis, judging from the two BO5s, I think SKT's strength is stronger than the Thorn Bird in this World Championship, and the Thorn Bird has a bad time in the middle of the third seed of the LCK, look at SKT, the second seed who beat them is the same as the mercury pour, and I am optimistic that SKT will win the Thorn Bird in the final, so that Faker's world No. 1 throne will be more stable!"
"Ah, yes, yes, you have to fight to win the championship, otherwise as long as Brother Luo wins the championship this year, his throne as the first person in the alliance will be gone."
There are a small group of people in the LCK post bar, according to their remarks, what is the difference between the competitions between clubs, like domestic and foreign?
In contrast, the other game in the top half was equally unsuspenseful.
Team G2 easily crushed TL 3-0.
This BO5, which was completed on MSI before Li Luo's rebirth, is now buried in the World Championship.
Like SKT against Griffin, Team TL didn't show the slightest bit of strength against G2.
TL was taken down easily.
The needle-to-point match between Europe and the United States in the world championship once again ended in North America defeating Europe.
Europeans rushed to tell each other, and the carnival continued.
They are all full of absolute confidence in their favorite team, believing that they can send SKT away at MSI once, and they can send SKT away at Worlds for the second time!
So far, the top four of the S competition have all been released.
In the first half, SKT played against G2.
The bottom half is a civil war between the Thorn Bird and FPX.
After the semi-finals, the Thorn Birds players were once again engaged in intense training after a short break.
It is worth mentioning that although the EDG team has been eliminated, it stands to reason that they will either return to China or have a good time in Europe for a few days, but they choose to spend a lot of time with the Thorn Birds to play training matches.
They don't think that their training can help the Thorn Bird improve their win rate against the FPX team, FPX has shown their strength nine out of ten in the face of EDG to win, but EDG everyone clearly knows that although FPX's strength can pose a threat to them, it is even more difficult to pose a threat to the Thorn Bird, which is tight both offensively and defensively.
The reason why EDG is stable and plays a few more training matches with the Thorn Birds is because the two teams in the first half of the region are too popular.
This year's Thorn Bird is an all-Chinese class.
And what domestic professional player doesn't want to see five Chinese standing on the championship stage of the S competition?
Anyway, you have been eliminated, so put your hope in the Thorn Bird and let them go on with their hope!
