Chapter 674: Semi-Final Training?
Wukesong Stadium is located at No. 69, Fuxing Road, Wanshou Road Street, Imperial Capital HD District.
The staggered grille curtain wall, known as the 'Ice Flower' design, is composed of gold aluminium panels, highlighting sportiness and innovation.
Hanging above the main stadium is a large screen with a 360-degree field of view, which can accommodate and provide 1.8W spectators with a viewing experience without dead ends.
September 9th.
Before it was time to check in the tickets, a large number of spectators gathered at the door.
Among them, there are Cosers wearing costumes such as Ahri, Piano Girl, Jinx, EZ, etc., and there are die-hard fans holding oversized luminous plates and giant team flags, and the relatively exaggerated shape has attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.
It doesn't matter if you don't bring anything.
Both teams set up booths at designated entrances to receive cheering sticks, glowing headgear, and small banners.
EDG also has stickers and postcards to give.
Lucky fans can even receive autographed versions of the contestants.
It was 15:30.
The staff began to greet the entrance.
The audience entered along the entrances on both sides, checked the real-name tickets, passed the security check, walked through the corridor of more than ten meters, and stepped into the main stadium that was converted into an e-sports venue.
As far as the eye can see, the audience with EDG support items accounts for almost ninety percent.
The remaining part of the one is holding RNG's support.
Part of it didn't take anything.
Occasionally, you can see a few maverick spectators, with signs in their hands that read...... The victory is not for the DGL me!
"Hello everyone!"
"Today is still the playoffs of the 2018 League of Legends Pro League-Summer Tournament, and after the first four days of intense competition, we have also come to our semi-final stage."
"The two teams that will play the semifinals are the second in the Eastern Theater - RNG."
"And the number one in the Western Theater - EDG!"
The three commentators, Long Hair, Hallucinogenic and Rita, appeared in front of the big screen.
After a brief introduction.
The director switches the screen to the shot of the contestants entering the venue.
Members of the RNG team walked along the dedicated aisle into the arena and headed for the lounge.
Walking at the front is a little fat man with a black backpack and a hand full of muscle stickers.
"What we see is UZI, who has just won the gold medal in the Asian Games."
"Compared with the S7 season, the weight of the bottom lane of the S8 season is constantly weakened - first the Mage League, then the endless revision, and then the rise of new heroes such as Sword Demon, Sword Girl, and Akali. ”
"According to the United States, the values of some popular ADs may be further reduced...... This is not good news for RNG teams that rely heavily on UZI. ”
RNG is naturally aware of this problem.
There were many attempts to change during the regular season.
But compared with Xing Dao, who was the first to break the gear, Theshy who returned from injury, and the 'genius old man' Saint Gunge.
The talent is not high, and Letme, who is not strong enough to seek stability, is okay, and if he really wants to take an offensive hero to collide, he is afraid that he will die quite ugly.
At most, let Xiaohu share the responsibility of the Carry team.
After the RNG members walked into the lounge, they put down their backpacks and began to discuss the game strategy.
The camera switches to EDG.
When a row of figures led by Xing Dao appeared, bursts of cheers immediately rang out at the scene.
The barrage is even more enthusiastic.
"EDG is awesome!"
"I'm finally going back to China to play."
“777777777!”
"Come on, Wangzai!"
"The fields are so enduring."
"I scored 82 points for Jie Bao's appearance, and the remaining 18 should be put in by Jie Bao himself."
“……”
Wait for the sound of the scene to be stopped.
Changmao took the initiative to speak: "There is a very interesting thing, today's semi-final showdown just gathered the members of our champion team who went to the Asian Games and returned triumphantly. ”
"Ten days ago, they were teammates who were still working closely together."
"Now, ten days later, they are competing for a place in the LPL finals in Wukesong Stadium."
"Speaking of which, what do you think the outcome and the score will look like?"
"EDG has a higher win rate." Rita said on the matter: "As many players have concluded, the situation in the LPL region has always been one super. ”
"However, anything is possible in real combat."
"Since JDG has counterattacked RW with a 3-0 record, RNG, which is also in the Eastern Theater and ranks one place higher, may not have no chance."
"I feel like it's either EDG three-to-one or RNG three-to-two."
"I'm on the same page." Hallucinogenic opinions are unanimous: "There are three key points in the battle between RNG and EDG, one of which is whether Letme can withstand the pressure given by General, the second is whether Xiaohu can continue to gain the upper hand in the face of the night, and the third is what kind of effect UZI can play in the lower lane. ”
"It's mainly up to General and UZI to play."
Both teams are ready.
The starting roster was also submitted.
"RNG's starters are the top laner Letme, the jungler Kasra, the mid laner Xiaohu, and the bottom lane UZI, supporting Xiao Ming."
Longhair got the news from the backstage: "Kasra's performance in the summer tournament is more stable than that of the incense pot, and the RNG should want to play in the way of developing a team. ”
"EDG's starter is...... Ay?! ”
The moment when the group photo of the players switches from RNG to EDG.
Both the narrator and the audience were surprised.
The upper road Xingdao, the middle road Xiye, the lower road Ah Shui and Meiko are no problem.
But the player in the jungler position is not a spicy blue man, but a young player with silver round-rimmed glasses - Jiejie.
"On Jiejie?"
Rita was a little incomprehensible: "Although the data of the factory director has declined a little this year, the overall winning rate is still very high, and the performance in the Asian Games is also quite good, and the newcomers are in the LPL semifinals, which is ......"
"The game is even more suspenseful!" Illusion is very good at using words: "If the factory director comes to fight, I think the winning rate of the two sides is at most twenty-eight, but since EDG has enabled newcomers, the RNG chance of winning should be about forty percent." ”
Jungler is the rhythm engine at the beginning of the game.
Six minutes ago, the importance was unparalleled.
Ten minutes ago, it was definitely no less important than any one position.
When the young Jiejie meets Kasra, who is known as 'Brother Radar', he may be bombarded by the omnipresent anti-squatting mentality.
Come to think of it.
The RNG members who saw this scene in the backstage lounge were a little more motivated.
The starting lineup was introduced.
The big screen starts playing a playoff promo video.
The two teams entered under the guidance of the staff and took their seats.
The Wukesong Gymnasium has a semi-open design for players, with a bottle of sponsor drinks placed above each computer desk, and a 24.5-inch, 240Hz, TN panel monitor that can be moved up and down, left and right at will to ensure the most comfortable visual angle.
After debugging and testing, both parties confirm that there is no error and the referee confirms.
Enter the official Ban/Pick session.
EDG ranked higher in the regular season, and preferred to the blue side, and the first to ban was ...... Phantom Ling-Luo!
Good evening, everyone!
