2:3。

The RNG and G2 matches are over.

RNG, who was given high hopes by everyone, fell into the hands of the 'European and American Laobi', which he had never lost.

Stop in the quarterfinals, dream shattered Busan.

That night, all the major LOL forums in China were completely swiped by this incident.

At a glance, there are not only the heartbreak and cries of countless soft fans of the all-Chinese class, but also the carnival of RNG black fans and fans of other teams.

Anyway, it can be summed up in one sentence.

The hot search exploded.

The hot search on Weibo exploded, the hot search on Tieba exploded, and the hot search on station B exploded.

Even some places that usually seem unrelated to e-sports games, such as the book review area of major platforms, the comment area of a pink comic app, and even the comment area of major online shopping e-commerce platforms, you can see RNG-related statements.

In the same way, while feeling heartbroken or ecstatic about the failure of RNG, countless LPL fans also pinned their last hopes on IG.

On the forums of major LOL, similar posts have appeared wildly.

【!】 Is there only one single seedling left in IG? 】

[The familiar picture reminds me of the legendary S7]

[That year was 2017, RNG and EDG fell one after another, and the last remaining IG withstood the huge pressure, and finally cleared three BO5 with absolute hard power, and won three BO5s in a row with nine consecutive wins, stepping on the corpses of three Korean teams to win the championship. 】

[This time, the pressure is on them again.] 】

[! Why is RNG so useless! Lao Tzu is really angry! G2 can lose! 】

[Lancer: It's okay, I'll make a move]

[Perhaps, after looking at it in the past two years, it's not that LPL has really become stronger, but simply because the IG team is too invincible? ] 】

[Don't blow it, I'm really tired, now I don't believe anyone, I just want to see my first favorite Brother Yunzi take out the leopard girl Qianjue Rock Sparrow and slaughter it frantically, and then continue to win two consecutive championships in a string of three]

[Woo woo, you must help RNG get revenge, IG! ] 】

You can always trust Lancer...... Rookie, Ning, Sappy, TheShy, and Ah Shui! 】

[Come on! IG！ 】

[Think of it as RNG and use no low profile!] 】

[The scariest thing, everyone, IG shouldn't also fall in the quarterfinals, AFS seems to be quite strong! ] 】

【……】

Suddenly, because of the RNG fiasco, a group of LPL fans who were originally full of confidence in IG couldn't help but feel worried.

There is no way, mainly because of the various encounters in the past 17 years, which has caused everyone's Korean phobia to always exist.

Even if S7 succeeds in winning the championship, everyone's fear of the Korean team, especially the SKT team, is still difficult to get rid of.

Now that EDG has just been beaten 3-0 by KT, RNG has lost to G2 right away, which is really hard not to worry about.

All of a sudden, many LPL fans ran to the IG official blog to leave crazy messages.

I hope that the IG players will play hard, don't have psychological pressure, and just play their strength.

Of course, these contents will definitely not be seen by the IG players.

During the game, the club basically did not allow the players to swipe Weibo and post it.

Of course, even if you really see it, the IG people will not be affected too much.

For example, Zhao Yun himself, when he saw RNG lose to G2, he sighed at most, and felt embarrassed for UZI's World Championship journey.

If it was him a year ago, he might still be affected by online remarks.

But at this time, after more than a year of successive victories, ordinary rhetoric has long been unable to affect him in any way.

After all, he hasn't lost at all in the past year or so, not to mention scolding him for his remarks related to him on the Internet, there are even few fair and objective neutral remarks, and most of them are basically blowing.

Many times, even when he himself saw these words, although he smiled on his lips, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart.

Over the past year, the remarks I see every day are basically blowing him, and this kind of environment will only make him feel happy, how can it affect his self-confidence and mentality?

Again, the rest of the IG is similar.

In the case of a winning streak, it is natural that there can be no mentality problem.

In addition, although Su Xiaoluo himself is not very good at management, he is still very good at creating an atmosphere, and he has a hand in maintaining a relaxed atmosphere in the team.

As a result, even though the two brother teams of EDG and RNG have suffered defeats one after another, the atmosphere in the IG team is still the same as usual, and it is still the same relaxed and happy.

And in such an atmosphere, everyone also watched the follow-up games together.

October 21, C9 and FNC match.

The civil war in Europe and the United States, the gimmicks and discussions before the game were directly full.

The end result is also full of drama.

C9 and FNC won 3-0.

All of a sudden, EU fans reveled, and NA fans were heartbroken.

The match between C9 and FNC started at 12 noon and ended at the speed of light in less than three hours.

Exactly right, after an hour's rest, four o'clock perfectly connected to the IG game.

And this one, the showdown between IG and AFS, is what really touches the hearts of thousands of LCK and LPL fans.

Before the start of the game, the video of the pre-match interview was also released.

Facing the camera, Zhao Yun was also the same as usual, with a relaxed and confident smile.

"Is there any pressure to face AFS?"

"To be honest, we didn't have any pressure at all, and we have even started to study in advance what lineup to use in the final against KT."

Regarding Zhao Yun's extremely arrogant words, LCK fans only felt extremely angry when they heard it.

At that time, in the live broadcast room on the LCK side, all kinds of barrages were swiped, and they all said that IG was bound to lose, and LPL's S8 World Championship journey would stop here.

Then, when the game officially started, the final result of this round of BO5 was to silence them all at the same time.

Three to zero.

There weren't too many surprises, it was straight from start to finish crushing to win.

From the first game, IG used Zhao Yun's starting jungler, and in the case that Yanque was always banned, the leopard girl, Qianjue, and Qianjue were used in the three games, all of which completely exploded AFS's jungler Spirit.

On the other hand, TheShy was very steady in the lane, choosing a game of Sain, a game of Orn, and a game of Sword Demon, and played steadily to suppress Kiin.

Rookie in the middle played equally well, with one game of Galio, one game of Lisandro, and the last game of the Natal LeBlanc kill.

In this way, IG Nakakamino made a strong force, directly smashed AFS's Nakakamino, and led the team to crush and win.

Such a result not only made LCK fans helpless to be silent, but also made a group of LPL fans who were originally a little worried regain hope again.

After that, it's time for the more intense semi-finals.

Similarly, the result of the semi-finals did not surprise too many people.

KT beat G2 3-1.

IG crushed FNC three to zero.

As everyone predicted, IG and KT successfully met in the finals.

Incheon, South Korea.

November 3rd, 2018, 15:30 pm.

The S8 Global Finals, which has been expected by countless people, has finally begun.

On KT's side, the most highly anticipated and worrisome point by fans is undoubtedly the Score of the jungler.

92 years old, he is 26 years old this year.

In the e-sports industry, it is already an advanced player.

And the IG team he faced was not even nineteen years old.

Under such a premise, he still has to face the recognized strongest Carry core of IG as a jungler, which is really worrying LCK fans.

I'm worried that he won't be able to stand up to Lancer when he faces Lancer, and I'm afraid that he will become a breakthrough for KT's team.

Then, when the game started, the more LCK fans watched, the more they felt cold in their hearts.

Because, what they feared the most, still happened.

Score's wild area has been blown up.

No way, in the face of IG, KT is too difficult to do whether it is on the blue side or the red side!

In addition to the three jungle core heroes in the jungle position, Xia Luo and Kaisha in the bottom lane also want to be banned, Rookie in the middle lane LeBlanc Galio also needs to be targeted, and TheShy Sword Demon in the upper lane also wants to defend against a hand.

There are too many things that want to be banned, but there are only so many ban bits.

Taking care of one or the other, the gains outweigh the losses.

Under such tremendous pressure, no matter how KT BP, IG can get a very comfortable lineup.

In such a situation, the personal strength of Ueno in IG was stronger than that of KT, and after Zhao Yun's wild area habitually played an advantage, the snowball quickly rolled through the canyon pioneer.

In the first game, IG got the most familiar Qianjue Galio Nakano system, Zhao Yun Qianjue directly superb, twenty-five minutes and ten layers of imprints four-piece set plus stopwatch, perfect development, directly took over the game, and a wave of big dragons ended the game strongly.

In the second game, Qianjue Yanque was banned, Zhao Yun successfully got the leopard girl, cooperated with TheShy's Orn on the road, Ueno's conjoined military training was incomparable, and directly caught Smeb's Jace to the super ghost 0-9, controlled the upper half of the area, and relied on the canyon pioneer to clear all the way, twenty-three minutes Leopard Girl four-piece suit, one standard kill full blood AD, a wave of team battles to end the game.

In the third game, the KT of the blue side was ruthless and directly hit the jungler with three bans, a grab of Xia, IG successfully got the upper single sword demon, assisted Luo AD Kaisha, and finally matched with the mid-single knife sister, the last hand Counter position, Zhao Yun selected the jungle death song, and finally, with the strong suppressive force of the death song wild area, the IG quad-core lineup was perfectly developed, and the mid-term power output exploded, and the KT was defeated head-on.

Three to zero, game over.

In an instant, the voice of the commentary seat was extremely excited.

"Win! Win! ”

"Congratulations IG! Successfully defeated KT 3-0 and won the S8 World Championship! Successfully defended the title! ”

"The undefeated golden body is still unbroken, the invincible legend continues, and the dynasty belonging to IG has come!"

"We are champions! We are champions again! ”

At this moment, all the commentators in the commentary table couldn't help but shout excitedly, and their faces turned red.

When the Incheon Stadium arrived at the scene, it suddenly erupted into an incomparably enthusiastic cheer, like a mountain shouting tsunami.

“IG！”

“IG！”

“IG！”

“IG！”

“……”

The golden rain fell, and everyone on IG was also extremely excited to gather together and cheer indulgently.

And soon, the official host, as well as Riot's founder Tedamire, also appeared in person to present the IG crowd with championship rings and medals.

Then, in front of thousands of spectators, the winners of this FMVP were announced.

"His name is ............ L——A——N——C——E——R”

He read the six letters aloud one by one, and finally, in a passionate tone, he pronounced the ID aloud.

"FMVP belongs to IG's jungler!"

“Lancer!”

In an instant, the crowd rejoiced.

Throughout the huge stadium, everyone couldn't help but chant the same name in unison.

“Lancer!”

“Lancer!”

“Lancer!”

“Lancer!”

“Lancer!”

“……”

In the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, the host looked at Zhao Yun next to him with a smile and also spoke.

"First of all, congratulations to Lancer for winning his two consecutive championships and two consecutive FMVPs."

"Then, I'm really curious, why can you always be so different in your playing style, whether you are in the upper unit or in the jungler?"

Hearing this question, Zhao Yun laughed and said his true thoughts in front of countless audiences.

"Isn't it different, I don't think so."

"Because, in our silver, everyone plays like this."

“……”
