289 [Three semi-finals, the rise of LPL!] 】

The fans who were about to leave the stadium at the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center all stood at the door of the exit passage when they heard the questions of the post-game interviews that were still echoing indoors.

The audience, who could not understand Chinese, wondered why someone would block the door, and just when they wanted to go up to the theory, they heard the Korean translator in the main venue completely repeat the words of the two.

Suddenly, the originally noisy guild hall was like pressing the pause button, and the footsteps and noise fell silent in an instant.

After all, Song Xiuyan was originally the leader of LCK, but she went to work in the LPL division in order to chase men.

Now as soon as these words came out, the fans and viewers in the two divisions all showed their aunt's smile.

All I can say is......

The people who were originally shouting noisily on the Internet, 'killing the dog, hiding from Xiuyan', silently sent their blessings to the two fairy couples in the e-sports circle.

Li Nian, who was standing on the stage and letting the lights shine on his head, smiled dumbly, and looked at the green eyes of the audience under the stage, and was actually a little panicked.

Why do these people look like gossip? Especially the muscular man in the pink shirt sitting in the first row, put away your dirty eyes!

After quickly thinking of a coping strategy in his head, Li Nian raised the corners of his mouth and brought the microphone close to his mouth, "Last year's teammates set a flag that has not been realized until now, if I also set up a flag, wouldn't it be the poisoned milk herself?" ”

“flag! flag! ”

The audience in the audience immediately stopped buying it, and continued to raise their arms and shout, obviously they didn't care about the so-called poisonous milk or not.

He raised his eyebrows, trying to make his words sound more direct, "Since the audience and friends are very warm, then I'll say something more." ”

As he spoke, he smiled at his girlfriend next to him and changed the microphone to a different hand.

Taking advantage of everyone's lack of attention, he grabbed Song Xiuyan's hand with lightning speed.

The girlfriend looked at her boyfriend in surprise, and the inexplicable nervousness in her heart had actually settled down at this moment.

She was a little surprised.

Because I didn't discuss this issue with my boyfriend in advance, it was all my own temporary intention to tease my boyfriend.

After all, this thing was too ruthless before.

And at the moment.

Her heart was blank, and she looked at her boyfriend with a little panic in her eyes.

Li Nian snorted lightly and continued, "Since this is the case, then I will no longer beat around the bush, after winning the championship in the World Championship this time, my goal is to win!" ”

All the spectators in the stadium held their breath, including the RNG and G2 players who were debugging the equipment, and they all cast curious glances towards the main stage.

Jack, who was still nibbling on cookies and drinking Coke in the lounge, stood up anxiously, "Brother Nian, you can't die well!" Can you hurry up! ”

Baolan was also impatient, and slapped Yu Wenbo's buttocks, "You TM block me from watching TV, die!" ”

"If you win, you ......"

"Get married!"

Before the audience could cheer, Li Nian continued, "But this is not something I can do if I say it, after all, this year's championship has not been won yet, and I and your sister Xiuyan have not yet reached the legal age of marriage, so you don't want us to be locked up!" ”

The audience suddenly fell silent, and then I don't know which girl's laughter and laughter in the whole hall suddenly burst into laughter.

Song Xiuyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, she was thinking about how to end this public show of affection, but now her boyfriend not only set up the flag, but also gave the two of them a good step.

"I do!"

Song Xiuyan was speaking Chinese, and an audience member under the stage who was making trouble found the microphone under the stage without knowing where to find it, and played BGM into the microphone with his mobile phone.

"I'm willing for you!"

"I'm willing for you!"

As soon as the song came out, the hall that was already laughing burst into laughter again.

"Congratulations again to our FLY players for winning this game, and I hope you can continue to cheer in the next two BO5 games!"

Song Xiuyan ended the interview with her professional ability.

"I'll go back first," the two walked off the stage side by side, Li Nian still didn't let go of his girlfriend's hand, "Don't be so naughty next time!" ”

When Song Xiuyan was on the stage before, the flush burned to the base of her ears, and when she heard her boyfriend's words again, she stuck out her tongue and immediately let go of her hand.

ran to the LPL host's lounge, and when he entered the door, he turned around and shouted, "Li Nian, maybe you like Messi?" ”

Before Li Nian could answer, the door in the lounge hung up.

He was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Perhaps, do you like Messi?" A familiar voice came from behind him, Yu Wenbo put his arm around Li Nian's shoulder, and posed 'Deng Chao's yo yo yo emoji.jpg and get married if he wins the championship. ”

"You want to die, don't you?"

Li Nian took the bag handed over by his teammates, and walked to the room where the media was interviewed.

After the group visit, Li Nian and his teammates got on a minibus and returned to the hotel arranged by Riot, packed their things and prepared to go to the venue of the semifinals.

Gwangju.

IG will be the first team to come out of the semi-finals, and the other three semi-final teams will be decided tomorrow afternoon.

When they got on the bus to Gwangju again, Lee Nian took out the tablet and connected it to the hot spot to watch the RNG vs. G2 match.

However, to his surprise.

In the first game, RNG won G2 with a big advantage of 1W2 in 23 minutes, and the situation was very good.

Many domestic viewers and barrages have begun to celebrate the convergence of IG and RNG in Gwangju.

However, when Li Nian and their trip were just over halfway through, the RNG had a big advantage in the early stage of the second game, but after 15 minutes, the whole team seemed to be collectively sick.

Jack beside him frowned, and as a professional player, it was easy to analyze the reason through the perspective of God on the field, "There are too few damage points on the RNG side, and this letme didn't get the sword demon and didn't play too well." ”

"Uzi chooses all the large-core ADCs, and he can't get most of the functional ADCs."

Li Nian nodded.

It's not that Uzi doesn't know the core or a functional ADC, but the team's tactical positioning determines that Jane is proud to come up with a large-core ADC hero.

Like the ruler who was eliminated in the group stage before, Uzi is also the patron saint of the classic ADC and is bound to recast the glory of LCK.

Including the regular season and playoffs, as long as there are RNG games, there are no slightly functional ADCs like Bomberman, Sindra, or Du.

Even the number of times the ice has been used is only a handful.

Although Uzi used to play a mid-laner in S4 for a while, and played a lot of traditional mid-laner heroes for the sake of team building, it stands to reason that with the talent and sensitivity of a professional player, it is easy to pick it up in a short period of time.

However, according to the team's analysis of Uzi's ranking, he has not even used any of the core bottom lane heroes except for the traditional ADC.

There are only a few heroes that can be selected in this version.

Ice, Ice, Verus, Lucian, Kaisha, and Kasumi, if you count the cannons used by Uzi, there are a total of 7 heroes.

The first three are typical functional ADCs, especially as far as this hero is.

Uzi's Ice and Verus are not bad, but compared to other heroes, they are really too average.

After all, since his debut, Uzi has been the spokesperson for the most typical A-type ADC player, and he is really a little uncomfortable with this mechanism of changing bullets after four shots.

High-strength point floor positioning often does not match the end, and even says that many of them are ineffective positioning, which will find many flaws for the enemy ADC.

In the second game, G2 won.

After the big advantage was overturned, in the footage given by the director, the expressions of the five players were obviously wrong.

As a result, in the third and fourth games, the two sides filled the game to BO5, which is for many spectators who predicted that RNG would take away G2 3:0.

It's like the unthinkable is happening.

By the time of the fifth game, Li Nian and the others had already settled into the hotel under the leadership of the Riot staff.

In order to prevent another power outage at the Busan Hotel, Riot made full preparations this time.

Even if there was a power outage in the hotel's training room, it was left for the team to spare within a five-kilometer radius of the training room.

Fifth game.

Uzi was obviously a little red, but in this game, King Ning kept saying something with a black face in the camera.

Looking at it through his expression, it seems that he is waking up Uzi in Rua.

The last game.

RNG's lineup surprised everyone, Uzi not only did not take a big core ADC like Kaisha and Xia, but took out a more suitable version of the end, and Xiao Ming also took out Tam.

And Ning Wang, who originally focused on carnivorous junglers to help his teammates establish advantages, took out Kai Yin, who had not appeared in the professional arena for a long time.

Jack raised the corners of his mouth, although he knew that Uzi had autism in the fifth game, but after all, his teammates had the existence of King Ning, and this guy was the same as Uzi.

The obsession with winning games is all the same, and his personality is even more fiery than Uzi's.

With his burly figure and his fierce-looking face, it is easy to intimidate people when they are angry.

The result was the same as the IG players who were watching the game.

RNG, who was given hope, successfully revitalized the early stage of the team in the last game through the strong invasion of King Ning's unique Kaiyin.

Wuzi, who was originally Hongwen incarnated as Guan Gong, gradually took a bath in King Ning's saliva shower after chewing gum to complete his redemption.

"We're going to win!" I remember smiling all over my face, "Although they were not in good shape in the first three games, they finally defeated G2 in the last crucial game of BO5 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals!" ”

Zewon chuckled, "They will face IG in the semi-finals in Gwangju and compete for a ticket to Incheon!" ”

On the second day of the playoffs, EDG faced Team Liquid, and the two upper-middle pairs of Khan and Kasa went crazy.

In this eight-in-four knockout round, the big brother failed to continue his good luck in the group stage, although EDG is the third seed team in the LPL.

But in fact, their strength is far beyond TL by a lot, and they won the victory with a crushing advantage of 3:0 without any effort!

This time, the senior brother did not shed tears on the scene as in previous years, but shook hands and smiled with the EDG team members very firmly.

For Senior Brother and Mr. Ohki, as a team in the North American region, being able to reach the quarterfinals of the group stage is already a historic breakthrough.

And doublelife has also successfully washed away the fate of the top 16 every year; EDG has broken through itself and completed the best result since the establishment of the team.

"Congratulations EDG!" The doll shouted loudly, "The three teams of LPL will successfully meet in the semi-finals, and the last game of FNC and FW will determine the last semi-final seat!" ”

The chat channel of the mouse station is full.

"Oh my God! LPL is a bit overdone this year, right? They got the script that originally belonged to LCK! ”

"After the group stage, now there is only one team left, and the European Renaissance seems to be nothing more than that!"

"If FW defeats FNC, it means that this year's South Korean home team will be won by four teams from the LPL."

"It's over! You're really going to ruin Korean esports! ”

Li Nian watched today's two games in the hotel.

Today IG has a day off.

I really can't help it.

Now they can't play a training match with their good brother RNG in the same group, after all, this is their next semi-final opponent, and no one wants to leak their tactics.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's October 27th.

Gwangju Women's University Gymnasium.

It was once one of the venues for the 2015 Universiade, and it is definitely not small.

It's overcrowded right now.

Although there is no Korean team's competition, today's IG is gaining more and more momentum internationally, coupled with their unique and visual style of play, they have gained many foreign fans.

There are also local international students, Li Nian's roommate at the school, and classmates from another class also took the bus to Gwangju to watch the game.

Some even flew by plane from China in order to watch the game between IG and LPL.

The gimmick of this game is also quite simple.

After four years in the LPL division, there is a civil war matchup again in the World Championship, and the last one will be traced back to the SHR Royalty vs. OMG match.

The older generation of esports players are impressed.

That year, OMG took away Nanjin White Shield 3:0, giving hope to the then First Division League and achieving the original Dark Forces 1.0.

For Li Nian and the rest of the IG team, especially Jack, this is the only chance in this life.

There is only one chance to achieve two consecutive championships, and there is no room for half a point of mistake.

And for RNG.

It's also very important.

Uzi is known as the uncrowned king, even though he is strong and has made great contributions to the bottom of the LPL, there are still countless sunspots who feel that Uzi should be hacked.

But......

Jian is proud of his professional attitude, except for the fact that his mentality is a little irreconcilable, there is nothing else that can be blackened.

Even though many netizens often ridicule him with early events, more people are playing with memes.

In the face of major rights and wrongs, it can still be carried clearly.

The semi-finals, where everything is staked, are about to begin!

-----------------

It was close to 5 p.m. KST.

The venue was already full, and Korean and Chinese were intertwined, setting off the atmosphere of the scene.

Signage for the 2018 season was everywhere, and countless spectators were already showing their support for the team.

Today, at the home of South Korea.

Two LPL teams will meet their derby match.
