The storm of RNG being eliminated by G2 continues.

But EDG doesn't have the heart to pay attention to that anymore.

They have now progressed to the semi-finals.

The only thing to do at the moment is to predict your imaginary opponent in the semi-finals, train and do BP.

When the semi-finals really start, I can play my best.

Xu Cheng is the focus of the EDG team, and the team has made several sets of backup tactics according to Xu Cheng's style of play.

This evening.

It was not until the early hours of the morning that EDG's training mission was over.

A group of people were hungry, and Ming Kai had already warmly ordered takeout.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

The EDG crowd was a little surprised.

It's so late, and there are still people who haven't slept?

"Did the takeaway arrive so quickly?"

Meiko was a little confused.

Mingkai just ordered takeout on the front foot, so soon?

"It's me!"

A somewhat familiar female voice rang out.

EDG everyone was stunned, and then they all looked at Xu Cheng with strange expressions.

Meiko teased, "Oh, I've been waiting so long."

"yes, yes, I didn't expect oranges to have this charm."

"One thing to say, if my girlfriend could wait so long while I trained, I would really cry to death."

After Ming Kai retired, he became more and more self-conscious.

Even I cried to death.

"Touched."

"I'm really moved, I can't talk about this if I don't marry someone......"

Facing the crazy ridicule of his teammates, Xu Cheng rolled his eyes.

Didn't bother with this group of Bs.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

"Okay, hehe..."

The door was pushed open, and Rita, dressed in a dress, burst in.

In both hands, he was carrying two large bags of takeaways.

"I guess you're hungry so late in training, so I brought you five spicy pots."

Rita put the bag on the table and smiled.

"Huh? Five copies? The incense pot's eyes widened.

"Oh, that's too polite!"

Meiko screamed in surprise.

Apparently I didn't expect that their group of bachelors also had a share.

Ming Kai looked depressed.

I knew he wouldn't order takeout.

As for the money for ordering takeout, it was all out of his own pocket privately!

Waste!

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Tian Ye understands the world, and after shouting, he was already very sensible and stepped forward to help, and shouted sweetly.

"Oh, don't call me sister-in-law, I'm not your sister-in-law."

Rita blames me for being embarrassed.

"Yes, don't scream."

Xu Cheng came out for certification.

？

Rita glanced at Xu Cheng and smiled without speaking.

"I said brother, such a good girlfriend, it's a pity not to marry."

As a person who came over, Ming Kai was eating a delicious spicy fragrant pot, well...

It's delicious, and I don't know why, he likes to eat spicy fragrant pot.

And then while educating Xu Cheng in an old-fashioned manner.

The incense pot on the side trembled inexplicably.

"This daughter-in-law, it's good to hurt people, unlike your sister-in-law, look at it, when did she do this for me?"

“……！”

Xu Cheng had nothing to say.

"I can't stop you if I eat."

"Oh, that's what you're saying, no matter how many more copies, you can't stop it!"

Mingkai bared his teeth.

Xu Cheng simply ignored him.

After eating, he and Rita walked out the door and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Rita was a little embarrassed.

In fact, it's just a joke from outsiders, she knows it, and at present, she and Xu Cheng are still at the stage of being good friends.

"It's a bit of a problem."

Xu Cheng had already guessed it: "If you have something, just say it, anyway, we are not outsiders." ”

"Who's not an outsider to you."

Rita retorted, and then said:

"Actually, it's nothing."

"It's just... My company wants to set up a media public account, and everyone says to ask you for help... Do you see you have time? ”

Xu Cheng was puzzled: "Media? What media? ”

"It's an e-sports account of our company, and I want to do an interview."

Rita was embarrassed.

Now Xu Cheng understood.

It seems that Rita's agency has taken a fancy to its popularity and popularity, and wants to borrow Rita's relationship with himself to rub it off.

After all.

Now EDG has confirmed their qualification to the semi-finals.

And the most widely circulated sentence today is-

KT is gone, who else can stop EDG?

By default, there are not a few EDGs who can defend the double crown.

Nevertheless...

Rita said this, which still surprised Xu Cheng.

Default is default, and prediction is prediction.

EDG hasn't really won the championship yet.

Leaning over so early.

I have to say...

Rita's agency is still quite discerning......

Of course.

If you don't agree to this kind of thing, you will agree to that.

It doesn't matter.

He was just a little surprised.

Rita is so polite to herself?

"It's not like you, you're like this, and it's embarrassing for me."

Xu Cheng looked at Rita obliquely.

"I'm not... Don't you think it's good? ”

Rita is also very real: "Now many people have said that I have been rubbing your popularity, and the company just proposed it, and I refused, but when I think about it... I agreed. ”

The meaning of the ellipsis is probably to think of her ambiguous relationship with Xu Cheng.

In Rita's mind, although the two are not boyfriend and girlfriend now, there is no doubt that both parties have a crush on each other.

That being the case.

In such a trivial matter, it seems that there is no need to be too evasive.

Sure enough, Xu Cheng smiled: "It's a big deal, a small matter, don't worry, it's on me." ”

"Hmm... That's it, yes, the game after that... Come on. ”

Rita also knew that Xu Cheng had been very busy recently, so she didn't dare to delay his time too much, and wanted to leave in a hurry after leaving a word.

"Come on, yes... Wait, don't go yet. ”

Xu Cheng shouted to the other party, turned around and took a gift box and brought it over: "I don't need the little holiday benefits from our club, you can take it." ”

"Thank you."

Rita took it, blinking and not speaking.

"Uh...?"

Xu Cheng waited for a while, and said in surprise: "Do you still have something?" ”

“…… Is that all you want to say? ”

Rita was angry.

"Hmm... Let's go back and eat together... After the game, you find a place, I invite you. ”

"It's a deal!"

Without waiting for Xu Cheng to respond, Rita happily turned around and left.

“…… How do you feel like I'm being tricked? ”

Xu Cheng stood in place and thought for a moment before turning around and returning to the hotel.

Next, he'll have to give it his all and prepare for the next races...

After all, EDG is aiming for a double crown.

If there is a problem because of this link, Xu Cheng will not let himself go.

……

Nothing was said all night.

Following.

IG vs. AFS.

It's another heavyweight event.

Because IG is also a team that belongs to the LPL division.

So far, the attention and popularity of all the matches of the teams in the LPL region have always been high.

From this, it can also be seen how well LPL is developing now.

At least in terms of audiences, the number of Chinese audiences, accounting for half of the world's total, is not excessive.

That day.

EDG and others also came to the scene to cheer for their brother team IG.

The relationship between EDG and the IG team has always been good.

This is mainly due to the fact that before S7, both had a common enemy - RNG.

I won't say much about the private things of fans.

In short, for various reasons, the two teams were considered proper brother teams before S7.

As for after S7...

Who would have thought that EDG, who had repeatedly pulled his hips in the World Championship, would suddenly take off?

So caught off guard, and so abrupt and fast.

made IG look confused.

said yes to be younger brothers together, but why did you suddenly fly?

Referee, report, someone here is hanging!

The relationship between the two is good, on the one hand, the reason why EDG people came over today is actually more because of the fact that RNG was eliminated yesterday.

RNG was eliminated, and the teams in the LPL division on the S8 stage this year were only IG and EDG.

After a night of fermentation last night, the impact of RNG's loss and elimination has become more and more significant.

The pressure of public opinion from the outside world is also as heavy as a mountain.

Both EDG and IG are feeling the pressure.

Therefore, coming to cheer for IG today is actually showing an attitude.

Let's go to the end together!

By the way, also study the African team that has been hailed as a rising star in the LCK this year.

If IG loses today, the African team will undoubtedly become another obstacle on the way to EDG's championship.

Thoroughly studying the opponent's style and tactics is one of the most important things EDG needs to do right now.

"AFS has been very strong this season."

While waiting for the opening, Meiko couldn't help but say, "Their record in the LCK this year is gorgeous. ”

"Actually, to be honest, IG is also quite strong this year."

Jungle incense pot said: "Their style... It feels a lot like us. ”

"That's right."

Everyone nodded.

The IG of the S8, albeit suppressed by EDG for a year.

But even this kind of suppression can't completely hide their light.

The main thing is that this year's IG, after the new AD Azumi field, seems to have formed a complete body.

The strength and state completely exploded.

I don't have the feeling of being a little brother in LPL at all.

When it comes to edge, RNG is even inferior to them.

Only EDG, who is very likely to defend the double title, can suppress them.

"IG is really fierce this year, and you can really look forward to it."

Ming Kai nodded beside him: "I've been studying their styles and habits for a long time, don't worry, even if we really meet, our chances of winning are very good......"

？？？

Everyone looked at the factory director with admiration.

Really.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

It is worthy of the ancestor of Saiwen.

When it comes to studying his own people, there really is no one who can compare to him!

"Alright, here we go!"

Right now.

Someone reminded me.

The crowd looked up.

Today's first-time BO5 game kicked off.

In the first game, IG showed its strong side.

None of the three lines are weak against the line, and the rhythm of the jungler Ning King is also unusually smooth.

This is off to a much smoother start than expected.

When IG was sure that he had won the first game of the day.

Both off and outside the stadium erupted in extremely terrifying cheers.

Everyone is cheering for this once nobody.

IG was indeed a nobody before.

After all, in the S competition, all the spectators are very unfamiliar with them.

This is not to say that IG does not have the experience of participating in the S competition.

S5 was there that year.

But it was the top 16 out, the black spot of surrender, and it is still often turned out by black fans.

In this atmosphere and mood.

The second game began quickly.

However, in this game, IG did not seem to be able to maintain that momentum in one go.

After the first game, AFS accurately found IG's weakness -

Young, dare to fight, and easy to get started!

It's easy to get started.

The overall style is biased towards conservative and operational AFS, and I like to play this kind of top team the most.

In this game, they mainly target the weakest and weakest bottom lane of IG's three lines.

At the very beginning, there was a surprise effect.

The effect is surprisingly good, not to mention.

also hit IG by surprise.

After about twenty minutes, the game was over, and AFS pulled one back.

The two sides drew 1/1.

It was the third match point game.

The atmosphere inside and outside the stadium has been pulled to the fullest.

It was also in this situation that IG withstood the pressure, united as one, and won AFS again in anticipation.

With a score of 2/1, they lead AFS.

And, with only one point left behind, they can eliminate AFS and advance to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Finals!

Meet the top four with the brother team EDG!

"Whew... IG, you should be able to win, right? ”

In this situation, EDG everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

After IG2/1AFS.

Everyone, including EDG, countless viewers and commentators in LPL, were all a little excited.

If IG really defeats AFS, then the LPL division will really meet again in the semi-finals!

This is another meeting after S7.

The difference is that last time it was RNG.

And this time...

But it became IG.

Things are not people, and they are no longer what they used to be.

But in any case, IG is also a team in the LPL region.

Even more legendary and inspirational than RNG.

From the No. 3 seed in the LPL region to the top four in the world...

Coming this far is enough to make IG proud.

The mood of the crowd was agitated, and the game on the field did not stop.

Maybe it's because I feel everyone's expectations.

This IG, the IG of Nirvana's rebirth, did not disappoint the LPL division.

The fourth game, the tiebreaker.

IG still maintains its terrifying state, the three lines are all excellent, and the rhythm of the jungler Ning Wang flies.

All the way down the sideways.

The game ended up at twenty-four minutes.

IG, bulldozing the crystal base of the AFS.

Won the final victory in today's billion-eyed semi-finals!

Successfully advanced to the semi-finals!

and the brother team, big brother EDG, successfully met in the semi-finals!

Scene.

The IG crowd hugged each other excitedly, and each member's face was filled with incredible and extreme excitement.

It's never just a backdrop, a little person.

When did you think that one day, you can also stand on this glorious stage.

So far......

Offstage.

EDG everyone looked at it with a swaying heart, and the mood was happy and cautious.

Of course, I was happy that the sister team IG was promoted.

As a brother team, I can see IG come this far, and they are a little proud to be the big brother.

That's what worries you too.

IG in this state...

If the finals do meet.

They can beat each other 100 percent, right?

"No matter who wins, it will be the champion of the LPL region."

Meiko said, "And think about that scene... Teams from the two LPL divisions are fighting in the final arena of the Global Finals... Oh my God, this picture is not in my dreams! ”

"There is one thing to say, indeed, it is not written like that."

The incense pot nodded.

The rest of the people were also thrilled by Meiko's words.

Not long since.

How humble is the LPL division?

In the era of LCK rule, LPL is really like being beaten and tortured.

And now...

to S8.

The LPL division is finally starting to show its edge.

The finals of the civil war, just ask if you dare to think!

Bibo burns!

"Ahem, okay, it's time to go and congratulate IG, and besides ourselves... You also have to strengthen your training, so you can't overturn on your own side. ”

Ming Kai coughed lightly.

The siblings and the second defending double in history are among the best of all...

The director decisively chose the latter.

Well.

It's that real.

The temptation and attraction of the double crown is just too great.

It's so big that any professional player, professional team, can't ignore it and be indifferent!

What team wouldn't want to reach the pinnacle that SKT has ever reached?

I'm sorry brother, whoever stands in my way is the double champion, it's over!

EDG everyone packed up their moods.

Ran backstage to congratulate everyone on IG who had just won the game.

In the end, I didn't stay long, and went straight back to the hotel.

Prepare for the upcoming semi-finals.

……

Last day.

FNC upset defeated Samsung.

This is a fan audience in the LPL division, and the attention is not high in a BO5.

But it still won great attention and popularity overseas.

So far.

The S8 semi-finals are officially decided.

They are:

EDG vs. G2.

IG vs. FNC.

The determination of the top four teams also indicates that the global audience is most looking forward to the semi-finals, which is also the most tense and bloody.

It's finally time to begin.

On this day, EDG arrived at the venue of the semi-finals of the 2018 World Finals -

Gwangju, South Korea.

Adjust the details, one more today, and make up for it tomorrow, brothers, forgive me
