Chapter 344: Only Caibi wouldn't want to win the championship
However, it's not over yet!
Two days later, the two BO5s in the bottom half ended.
RNG defeated KT 3-2 and eliminated the last team in the LCK, EDG swept C9 and also advanced to the semi-finals!
RNG and EDG will join forces, and IP will join hands with MSF to go out.
All three LCK teams were wiped out.
The top four of the LPL occupy three seats, reaching the best S qualifying results since the beginning of S1.
The huge drop instantly flooded the brains of all the viewers of the LCK, and for a while the flames of anger began to burn.
"I thought it would be difficult for the LCK this year, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult, and all three teams would stop in the quarterfinals... We, what's wrong? ā
After the extreme anger, the LCK audience is more afraid and confused.
Looking back two years ago, it seemed that the LCK was still the first division, and every World Championship was a time for the LCK to shine.
But what about this year?
Samsung, fell at the feet of IP.
RNG, defeated KT.
Even SKT, which is the best in the group, was beaten by a European team like MSF with a humiliating 3-0!
The LCK has never been weaker.
So much so that they are only confused after their anger.
LCK, what the hell is going on?
Why did it suddenly fall to such a point?
What are we doing wrong?
They don't understand.
"The players are too vegetable, what configuration do you see other people's IPs, what configuration do you think we have?"
There are those who say that the contestants are dish.
"The tactics are too backward, and there are not even as many reserves as a team like MSF, the incense burner monster is also the first time to play in the LPL, and the Galio system is also developed by the LPL, so we have completely lost our competitiveness!"
It is said that the tactical reserves are too poor.
"Xenophobia is the real reason! There are all kinds of foreign aid in other regions, but we are very resistant to foreign aid, wasn't it because of Emperor that Emperor left the LCK at that time? ā
Some people say that the compatibility of the competition area is poor, and even take Xu Ruoguang as an example.
At this moment, Ahn Zhangmen, whose nationality has been confiscated by the Korean audience in the past two days, stood up.
He is already retiring, and he has no scruples about speaking.
During this time, Ann did everything that a burned dead wood should do,
In the interview, he blamed himself for Samsung's loss.
"Yes, we were a bit chaotic because I was too hesitant to create a good rhythm. I have nothing to do with my teammates, they are all very good players. ā
"If you want to ask me what I regret at this Worlds, probably I'm sorry for my teammates, it's because I put too much pressure on Cuvee, so he has a problem playing, Cuvee is a very good player."
"Samsung can't beat the IP, the responsibility lies with me."
"If you want to scold, scold me."
Head Ann didn't have the idea of dumping the pot at all.
For him...... Samsung is a very memorable club.
This is where his dream began and ends.
Now that you've decided to leave, let me take care of everything before you leave.
Ambixin is responsible.
So Korean netizens naturally satisfied him and scolded him for being bloody.
What a sinner in the Great Cold Netherworld, what a person who is not worthy of being a Korean or something.
These two days are nothing to Master An.
But the death threat forced him to be vigilant and contact the Samsung club directly for a box strike.
This made the surging public opinion on the Internet stop a little.
And then...... Even KT lost.
At this time, Korean netizens have shifted their firepower, and the head of An is out of danger.
Seeing Korean netizens break away from their state of extreme anger, An Zhangmen also participated in the discussion as a retired player.
His thinking was peculiar, and he didn't dwell on anything else.
"The reason why LCK's performance this year is so poor is that in the final analysis, it is the loss of talent!"
"Two years ago, we had faker and kuro in the mid-laner, and there were a large number of excellent mid-laner players, and we had Emperor and Marin in the mid-laner, but where are they now?"
"It's because of the shortage of talents that we will lose our competitiveness!"
The retirement of the old players and the departure of the runaway.
Compared to S5 two years ago, LCK is much weaker.
The new generation of players is either still in the academy or in the second team, and there is no chance to show their strengths.
At a glance, there are all some old players, what happened to such players, who have played the LPL that is becoming more and more popular?
Even lose to Europe and the United States!
Boss An didn't realize that he was also scolding himself, because in his opinion, he had already retired, which could be regarded as making room for his juniors.
Korean netizens listened to it, hey!
And guess what?
That's what it really means.
Every year, these crooked melons and cracked dates go to the World Championship, can they not lose?
This year's SKT was the worst, but it still got a place in the Worlds, which already shows the intensity of the LCK now.
As a result, Korean netizens immediately began to petition, hoping to promote LCK reform.
This is exactly what the new chairman Lee Min-hyuk wants.
He has just come to power, and he has not yet been able to cultivate his own cronies.
Without reform, his power will be weakened.
finally became the president, and also used some selfish means, Li Minhe will never allow anyone except him to get his power.
So he immediately stood up and said that he wanted to promote a new round of LCK reform.
He also severely criticized the former president and his subordinates, calling them "the scum of wasting food and the potential of the competition area".
Anyone who knows the presidents of beautiful countries knows that every president has a surprisingly consistent attitude towards the previous president after taking office.
Unanimous disparagement!
Because it's easy to highlight yourself as better, just belittle your ex.
It's the same with President Lee Min-hyuk.
Lee Min-hyuk's move undoubtedly ushered in unanimous cheers, and LCK viewers barely calmed their anger and began to look forward to his change in S8.
This year, the LCK's World Championship journey has come to an end.
However, LPL!
We're not done!
You wait!
This is the voice of all LCK viewers.
However, Xu Ruoguang, who was one of the targets of the LCK audience's silent cruel words, was also worried at this time.
"Do you really want to do this?"
"Yes, I hope you will cooperate with me."
"I know, but, this, it's too tight."
"It's okay, just get used to it, and you'll be comfortable later."
"Shall I move, then? Can I move now? ā
"No, no, no, you don't have to move, just let me move."
The beautiful photographer smiled shyly and gently helped him adjust the angle of his hat a little uncomfortable.
This is the set where the promo film for the semi-finals including the finals was filmed.
Or what do you think?
Xu Ruoguang sat on a step in distress.
The hat was so tight that he was a little unaccustomed to it.
After sorting out everyone's styling, the photographer smiled slightly.
"Alright, everybody, sit down where I just told you."
When shooting, they are all poss, and the lines are matched when they are post-collected.
Coach KKOMA stood quietly on the side, with a smile on his face, and watched them shoot seriously.
Standing on the far left is Xiao Wu.
At this time, Xiao Wu smiled brightly, one hand casually put on the team uniform on his lap, and the other hand against his forehead, slightly tilted his head, and his eyes were open.
On his legs, the back of IP's coat is revealed.
ādā
On the far right, there is a small peanut.
The positions are arranged in the order of support, AD, top laner, mid laner, and jungler.
At this time, Little Peanut put one foot on the steps below, one foot under his buttocks, and leaned forward slightly, revealing his aggressiveness.
It's a pity that the bright smile on his face makes him seem harmless.
There was a distance next to Xiao Wu, and it was Ah Shui.
At this time, Ah Shui was different from Nosuke, he stood up.
grabbed the IP's team uniform with one hand and casually put it on his shoulder.
The other hand gestures to the front for a pistol to shoot.
The lips opened slightly, as if to say, bang.
On the other side, the faker turned sideways, revealing a side face, slightly bowed and expressionless.
In the center, Xu Ruoguang stood straight, raised his right hand, and made a thumbs-up gesture.
As if to say, you are still far away.
"Very good, this is the kind of movement I want to be oppressive!"
The photographer's young lady was full of praise, and her eyes were shining.
Although the contestants don't know her intentions very clearly, and they are not professional models, they have filmed too many promotional videos and have some experience.
It is this feeling of youth that makes the photographer feel very good, which is very in line with the positioning of professional players.
"You're handsome."
This was said by hands sama, an AD contestant of MSF who also completed the shooting next door.
Of course, it was spoken in English.
It was obvious that he was happy, after all, he managed to beat SKT.
Even if the dynasty is no longer there, it is still a very inspiring achievement for a relatively little-known team like MSF.
is about to face IP, although they know very well that IP is a team that never makes mistakes, and it is not comparable to SKT, but they are still not discouraged.
Because they have already won SKT, for them, it is already considered a success.
Even if you lose to IP, no one will feel sorry.
Of course, it's better to win.
Not to mention winning BO5, nibbling one or two is considered a success.
So they really don't have a lot of pressure and seem very relaxed.
Faced with Hanssama's sudden praise, Xu Ruoguang's first reaction was that this big brother should not be a gay man, right?
Seeing Xu Ruoguang's embarrassed but polite smile, Hansama also seemed to notice that his actions seemed to have misunderstood him, and he laughed.
"Don't get me wrong, Emperor, I have a girlfriend."
Xu Ruoguang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your compliment, you are also very handsome." ā
"The one that won against SKT was a beautiful one."
Hansama smiled and held out his hand, "Can I swap jerseys with you?" ā
Xu Ruoguang looked at KKOMA on the side, and KKOMA signaled that it was okay.
He nodded, "Okay." ā
hansama couldn't be happy, nodded again and again, and directly took off his MSF coat.
Xu Ruoguang is the same. Completed the exchange of team uniforms.
"Emperor, you are my favorite LPL player, if we are defeated by you, please win the championship, then we will also be the runner-up."
Hansama smirked.
Xu Ruoguang laughed, "Okay." ā
Although this is a world championship, there is no enemy between the players.
On the field, everyone fought for their own future and honor.
When you come to the field, you don't necessarily can't be friends.
After the final promotional video shooting, the IP began the final sprint training.
This week's time is crucial.
A week later, it's the semi-finals.
I worked hard for more than half a year for this moment.
No one dares to relax, and no one wants to relax.
Want to rest? After playing the S game, there is more time to rest.
Now, open the book!
And at such a time, the final handling of the problem about Xu Ruoguang's competition area from Riot was solved.
Because the contract and player details provided by the LPL are very complete, the LCK's application was rejected without suspense.
Xu Ruoguang's qualifications are conclusive, and he belongs to the LPL.
Such news is also a great joy for many LPL viewers who are concerned about this matter.
So much so that some people say,
"Although OMG is a bit stupid and let go of the Emperor, but they still know that signing this contract is also considered meritorious!"
OMG's Boss Hou cried to death, you still remember whipping me, you warm me and crying.
"Whenever something about Emperor comes out, OMG suffers an online violence and dies laughing."
"Hahahaha, it's miserable."
"I am Boss Hou, I should have stabbed the manager at the time, I heard that Boss Hou also asked him to take care of the youth training and didn't kick him out, he cried with me!"
Xu Ruoguang's division belongs to the LPL, which means that the dream of the LCK is also shattered.
Xu Ruoming doesn't have to go to the LCK anymore.
Although the IP is still a big sale after this year, at least Xu Ruoguang can choose to go to other clubs in the LPL at that time.
So from the day the news came out, the major clubs have begun to prepare like sharks that smell blood.
Emperor is a player who has proved the true cornerstone of winning a championship with three years of unmatched dominance, and anyone who understands the game will feel excited when facing a player who might have such a player.
In addition to the strength of the game, Emperor is also a plus in other aspects.
Needless to say, the results speak for themselves.
Nationality is also a powerful weapon!
Huazi is on the list, and it is real.
By S7, the salary level in the league is no longer the salary of Koreans, and the salary is higher.
On the contrary, at this time, excellent Chinese players are more valuable.
On the one hand, it is because the excellent Chinese players communicate more smoothly, and on the other hand, it is also because they do not occupy the quota of foreign aid.
The K1 of the S6 and the IP of the S7 have proven the success of the 3+2 model.
If you want to make a difference, it's easier to replicate the success of these two teams.
Therefore, whether it is EDG, WE, or even OMG, they all expect to have the cornerstone of the championship.
Even RNG.
RNG boss Bai Xing is not very satisfied with the current RNG order.
Because RNG is actually a team formed around Uzi, Letme on the road is not the optimal solution for RNG.
It's just that the more powerful domestic top list and other teams don't let it go at all.
Makeshift use.
And Xu Ruoguang is also a domestic order.
One can imagine how eager RNG is for Xu Ruoguang.
Even IG is included in these ranks.
Although theshy has shown his talent, theshy of the S7 does not have that unique feeling.
Even if you run into the snake team's top single holy spear brother, you can't get much benefit.
He was even killed by Gimgoon's sword queen in the summer game to kill his vampire to the point of being a super ghost. (Real Story)
His instability made IG not trust him very much.
It is also natural to be tempted by Xu Ruoguang.
Although the World Championship is not over yet, the ID of Emperor is too dazzling, and these teams can't hold it anymore.
However, in the face of the temptation of light or darkness, KKOMA ignored it and did not tell Xu Ruoguang.
Xu Ruoguang has already handed in his mobile phone after playing the World Championship, and he will only take a look at the post bar when he finishes the game.
Those people couldn't reach him at all.
At this time, the IP is still in full swing training.
Little by little, time passed.
Sometimes time feels slow, but sometimes when you're focused, it feels like time flies.
The day has come on October 27th.
On this day, it's IP, the semi-finals against MSF!
At this point in the schedule, as long as you win the MSF, the IP can advance to the finals and go to the final S competition venue.
It was once the venue for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Nest!
At ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Ruoguang got up on time.
The start time of the game was half past three in the afternoon, and he had plenty of time.
After the morning meeting, KKOMA mobilized as usual during dinner.
Even though it is now another crucial semi-final, KKOMA still looks calm and serious.
For him, nervousness is long gone.
"Our form, we should have adjusted very well."
He smiled and spoke.
"This year has been a good year for us, we won the Spring Championship, won the MSI Championship, won the Intercontinental Championship with other LPL teams, and finally won the Summer Championship and successfully qualified for the No. 1 seed."
"We have set a record for the most consecutive wins and an unbeaten league record."
"I'm proud of you."
The team members looked at each other and smiled, quietly waiting for KKOMA to speak.
"Ruoguang, you are the one I am most assured of, no matter what kind of disadvantage the team falls into, you can help the team turn it around, I look forward to you creating a new legend."
KKOMA looked at Xu Ruoguang, his most trusted disciple, and his eyes were full of relief.
Xu Ruoguang smiled and said humbly.
"It's all good for Little Peanut and Sanghyuk."
Kkoma shook his head with a smile and didn't say much.
"Wanghu, if you want to speed up the rhythm, don't be afraid of gank failure, the more afraid you are, the more you dare not fight, this will not work."
"I want to see you fearless, believe in yourself, believe in your teammates, okay?"
He turned his head to look at Little Peanut and said warmly and encouraged.
Little Peanut pursed her lips and nodded seriously.
"Coach, I know."
"I'll prove to you that I'm the best jungler at this Worlds."
It may not be good to mention the small peanut of the control map.
But when it comes to invading gank, Little Peanut is still very confident.
"Okay, I'll watch you."
Kkoma smiled and nodded, looking at the faker who was staring at him intently.
He smiled softly.
"Sanghyuk, actually, since S5, I think we've had different paths."
"However, I didn't expect that we would have to fight together one day."
"If Xu Ruoguang is the most satisfying player I have ever led, you are the one who has surprised me the most."
"Hard work will pay off in the end, keep working hard and play well."
"Defend your name as the world's No. 1 midlaner."
Lee Sang-hyuk pushed his glasses and spoke confidently.
"Look at it."
"Ah Shui."
Kkoma shouted.
For so long, his name for Jackeylove has changed from the original Jack's spicy dance to Jack, then to Wenbo, and even to today's Ah Shui.
"Don't be too impulsive, don't save skills."
"You're the one I'm most worried about."
Ah Shui had a bitter face, "Coach, I've changed a lot." ā
"I know, I want to say, you can do better."
kkoma said seriously,
"That's not your limit, Ah Shui."
"Let me see your efforts, let me see, what is jackeylove."
Ah Shui was stunned and smiled.
"Okay, Coach."
Kkoma nodded.
He has full trust in the players, and Ah Shui said yes, and he believed it.
"Little Five."
He looked at the last one he hadn't spoken.
Xiao Wu touched his head, "Coach? ā
"I believe that you also have an awareness, only those who don't get the opportunity will know how rare the opportunity is, and there is no need to say anything superfluous to you."
Kkoma said softly.
"Be more confident in yourself, you're not someone who can be replaced, you're our D, you're an integral part of us."
"You're important, Little Five."
Xiao Wu was stunned and nodded heavily.
"Yes, Coach!"
Yes, for him, he knows very well how important this tournament is.
This may really be his only chance in life.
Such a configuration has not been available before, and it will be difficult to have it again in the future.
Xiao Wu cherishes all this very much, so he is also very inferior because of this.
He was afraid that he would become a breakthrough in the team, that he would become a dragger.
The impression left by the previous OMG time has dissipated a lot, but the kind of career that is as hopeless as going to work all day still makes Xiao Wu remember it vividly.
He didn't want that.
Or rather, any professional player who has a bit of a pursuit, doesn't want to do that.
Guys play professionally to win!
It's for the championship!
Experience a professional atmosphere?
Only a vegetable will lick his face and say such things!
You ask Uzi if he wants to win the championship.
You ask if you want to do it at night.
You ask Ming Kai if he wants to?
Who doesn't want to win the championship?
People with strength want to get ahead, and people without strength will have no ambition.
So Xiao Wu really cherishes this opportunity.
He has played more than 4,100 ranks this year, which is only three or four hundred less than Xu Ruoguang, the king of the first volume of LPL.
This is a terrible amount of rank, because Rank is only after the training match is played before there is time to play rank.
You can imagine how hard he worked.
Because Xiao Wu knows that he is not as strong as his teammates, he must do his best to keep up with his teammates.
He wants to win!
More than I ever dreamed!
He doesn't want to be a dragger!
This is the common thinking of professional players in this era.
If you don't have the top four, you can be successful, and it doesn't matter if you don't go or not.
Whenever they have the opportunity, their goal is only those two words.
Champion!
After the morning meeting, Xu Ruoguang put on an IP silver-white coat, smiled brightly at the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.
In the mirror, the handsome boy seems to be harmless.
"Let's go, Brother Guang, I'm going to the venue."
"Here we are."
Battle, on the verge of breaking out!
