On October 21st, EDG was defeated by SKT.

If it was the World Championship in previous years, and the LPL team was defeated by the Korean team, then no matter what, it would definitely be sprayed by fans who broke the defense on the Internet that day.

But this time, although EDG lost to SKT, the firepower it suffered was not as ferocious as imagined.

Except for some loyal fans who were miserably broken, most passers-by and viewers did not criticize them too much, and even most of the discussion posts were justified in analyzing why they lost, and there were not many people who scolded and messed up.

The reason for this can be summed up in one sentence.

If there is no expectation, there will be no disappointment.

Originally, it was only the second seed, and everyone's expectations for EDG were not so high from the beginning.

Just experienced IG's big victory, which has made everyone's mentality relax a lot, and the later games don't seem to be too involved, plus there is an RNG behind that can still be counted on, so when they see EDG lose, everyone's hearts are naturally not so uncomfortable.

In this way, EDG's defeat did not cause too much sensation and discussion at this point in time.

Then the next day, the RNG tournament began.

RNG vs. FNC.

And this game is a game.

It can only be said that there is no danger, RNG was also forced to the fifth game by FNC, but RNG in the fifth game finally played steadily and won the game, successfully becoming the last team to advance to the semi-finals.

At this point, the top four of this world championship are officially decided.

Upper half: IG and LZ.

Lower half: SKT and RNG.

And the time for the semi-finals was officially released, exactly a week later.

IG and LZ hit first, on October 28.

RNG and SKT are played later, on October 29th.

Then, the venue will be shifted from Guangzhou to Shanghai.

During this period, the four teams had a week to adjust and prepare for the game.

……

In the semi-finals, two Chinese teams faced two South Korean teams.

It can only be said that such a four-strong showdown in the Sino-Korean war is really full of topicality.

During this offseason, in various forums around the world, everyone was frantically discussing various topics related to it.

It's not just LPL and LCK fans who are arguing and spraying each other, but even players in the European and American LCS regions and major wild card regions are also discussing on Twitter or other well-known forums.

Even in the two major international cities of Seoul, South Korea, and Shanghai, China, there are many billboards and promotional videos supporting the two teams.

In addition to ordinary viewers and fans, even commentators in various competition areas, active players, retired players, club owners, well-known anchors, and well-known event hosts...... and so on, all on social platforms, one after another to speak out and support their favorite teams.

It was boiling, and the smell of gunpowder was full.

This time, the semi-final showdown in Shanghai was really full of heat before the start of the fight, and even many people who didn't pay attention to LOL were unconsciously attracted by this huge publicity and couldn't help but start paying attention to this passionate showdown.

Then, under this much-anticipated gaze, the days passed day by day, and the match between IG and LZ finally came.

……

October 28th.

Shanghai Oriental Sports Center.

At half past two in the afternoon, there was still an hour before the start of the game, and the entire stadium was already crowded with people.

Most of them wore team uniforms and flags to support IG, and even many fans directly printed IG's team emblem on their faces, and the faces of every man and woman were filled with enthusiasm and excitement.

Although the game has not yet started, at the scene, the official has already started the pre-game live broadcast.

Then, the first to appear in the camera was also the guest commentator of today's game.

This time, the commentators have new faces that surprise everyone.

"Hello everyone, I'm commentator Zeyuan."

"Hello everyone, I'm commenting on Su Xiaoyan."

"Hello everyone, I am your good friend, Li Jiahang."

On the guest comment table, in addition to the usual Guan Zeyuan and Su Xiaoyan, the guest invited by the official this time is the star summoner nicknamed 'Zhang Wei', 'Snake' and 'Zhang Yida', Li Jiahang.

As a popular actor star, Li Jiahang's familiar smiling face just appeared in the camera, almost subconsciously, and the audience burst into a burst of laughter.

Then at this time, Guan Zeyuan was also the first to speak.

"First of all, welcome our good friend Brother Jiahang to be a guest at our review table, so on this important day today, does Brother Jiahang have any views on this crucial semi-final match, for example, who do you think will win, and then which player you like the most."

As for Guan Zeyuan's inquiry, Li Jiahang also laughed and replied naturally.

"To be honest, I'm actually a veteran player, I've been watching the games in the past few years, and then we've lost many times against the Korean team, so every time I encounter a match between LPL and LCK in the past few years, I'm extremely nervous and scared, I feel that they are really too strong, and I don't know how to win at all.

Before the start of this World Championship, I really wanted to watch it but didn't dare to watch it, but since watching IG's game, everything has changed. ”

Li Jiahang in the camera looked confident, slammed his chest twice, and continued to smile.

"Now I'm a big fan of IG, I don't need to ask this kind of question at all, I want IG to win, I always believe that IG is invincible!"

His passionate speech also caused the audience to burst into equally enthusiastic cheers.

Then immediately after, he continued.

"And then say the player you like.,I like the five people of IG.,If you have to say your favorite words.,It's definitely the blue brother on the list.,At that time, the two barbarian kings with SKT.,I really saw that the thief was excited.,Ka Ka Ka knife one by one directly cut SKT overturned.,At that time, I couldn't help it.,I went directly to the ranking to play a few rankings.,It's so exciting!"

"From that moment on, he was the number one in the world in my mind, and there was no one!"

Li Jiahang's tone was full of excitement and excitement, and he even stretched out his hand and gestured a few times as he spoke, causing the audience to burst into laughter again.

Then, the three guests in the commentary table also gave their pre-match prediction scores at the request of the official.

On the big screen of the live broadcast, the predictions of the three people appeared in an instant.

Guan Zeyuan: 3:1, IG wins.

He insisted that LZ could win at least one game.

Su Xiaoyan: 3:1, IG wins.

Li Jiahang: 3:0, IG wins.

At the same time, when the commentary seats on the LPL side make pre-match predictions, the commentators in other regions are also going through the same process.

Among them, the LCS commentators in the LCS region, whose own team has been completely eliminated and are now all incarnated as fun people, are also the most bold and straightforward in their various speeches.

"With all due respect, I don't think LZ's current strength is much better than SSG's, I feel like they are also shattered at the touch of IG, and they are sent away with pleasure by 3-0."

"LZ's top laner Khan has a big win in the LCK region, but his performance in the Worlds is honestly not very impressive, I think it's not even as good as Cuvee, I have no doubt that he will be a Huni 2.0 when he plays against Lancer"

"Jungler Cuzz's performance in this World Championship is not even as good as the jungler of some North American teams, and he was even completely blown out by MSG's jungler, so I hope he will not be embarrassed when facing Ning's invasion."

“LZ？ The first favorite to be blown out is bound to be crushed to pieces in front of my powerful IG team and their god of war Lancer! ”

"I'm already looking forward to the faces of those who brainlessly blew LZ world No. 1 before the game when LZ was 3-0 by IG hahaha."

“……”

When there is no own team, the LCS commentators really have something to say, without concealment, and the program effect is full as soon as it opens.

Then when the predicted score displayed on the live broadcast screen appeared, there were four 3:0s.

The position can be called a firm.

Then on the LCK side, several Korean commentators cheered for their teams before the game.

"This is undoubtedly the toughest battle LZ has ever had."

"Yes, in the face of IG, which has not tasted defeat so far, the pressure is really great."

"But the lads at LZ are also very strong, and as the No. 1 seed in the LCK, I believe they will win as long as they play their true strengths!"

"To be honest, compared to SSG's style restraint, I really feel that LZ will have a higher win rate against IG."

"It's true that the players on each line of LZ have strong individual ability, and their style is very similar to IG, they are all very aggressive, and I feel that they will definitely bring you an extremely exciting fight against IG."

"Get on the road! The most important thing is to get on the road! Khan! O East River! Be sure to show the momentum of your LCK No. 1 top laner and avenge the good brothers (referring to Huni and Cuvee) who were bullied by Lancer before. ”

"The BDD in the middle is the same, and he is also a line-to-line player, and I think he can play five or five with Rookie."

"We have a clear advantage in the bottom lane, so as long as the middle and upper are stable, the momentum has a really good chance of beating IG."

"Come on, Khan! Come on, LZ! ”

“……”

All of a sudden, with the resentment accumulated against IG in the previous game, several commentators in the LCK commentary seat shouted cheering slogans to LZ before the game.

Then, after a series of pre-match warm-up activities, soon, the players from both sides also began to take the stage for debugging.

At this time, seeing that the time was almost up, the screen on the LPL side also switched to the commentary seat.

The three commentators in charge of the commentary this time, in addition to the memory who is responsible for controlling the field, the other two are Miller and the doll.

Then, after a brief analysis of the situation of the two teams, the three of them were analyzed.

The pre-match interview video was also released on the field.

"OK, now that the players on both sides are about to finish the commissioning, let's take a look at what the players on both sides said before the game."

As the sound fell, the live broadcast began to play the video that had been recorded in advance.

The first to appear is the player on LZ's side, Khan.

On his chubby face, Khan still wore his trademark goofy smile.

"IG's words, to be honest with the dominance they have shown so far, I really surprised me, I also see the strength of the Lancer players, but it doesn't matter, they have been winning before just because they didn't meet us, and today in it, we will definitely make IG taste the bitterness of defeat."

With a kind smile, Khan said something quite oppressive.

Then the camera was given to IG, and it was Zhao Yun who appeared in the camera.

With a bright smile on his handsome face as always, Zhao Yun squinted slightly and said his thoughts with a smile.

"Maybe before we came, we LPL fans have been living in the shadow of the Korean team for all these years, and we are scared and trembling every time we are in the World Championship."

"I was particularly saddened by this phenomenon at one point."

"So, here we are."

"We came here with only one purpose from the beginning, and that was to defeat all our opponents and get our own first championship trophy for the LPL."

"We are here to win the championship, in order to overturn the Korean team's four-year domination of LOL!"

"Therefore, all enemies who dare to stand in the way will be ruthlessly crushed by IG."

"As for the Dragon Ball team, you're not the first."

"Again, it won't be the last."

“……”

Move tomorrow, I guess there is no time to code, so I will write tomorrow's update in advance in the early hours of tonight, and then there will be no tomorrow during the day.

Let's explain this in advance.
