Chapter 66: LPL likes to open champagne in the half, right?
"Laugh, LPL opened the champagne again at halftime."
It was also a bit unexpected for Mingrui that Team WE was able to defeat Team SKT and win the game with such a domineering attitude.
After all, in his opinion, although the LPL team is the "most promising year" every year, and wants to defeat the LCK and complete the anti-Korean mission every year, in fact, except for a few occasional "anti-Korean successes", most of the time, the LPL team is unlikely to pose any threat to the LCK team.
Not only because of the absolute gap in strength, but also because of the fear of LPL for LCK from the bottom of my heart, and the blood suppression of LPL by LCK!
Therefore, this is also the reason why LPL fans are so excited and crazy after Team WE finally won a BO1 from Team SKT, after all, for them, being able to defeat the LCK team once is equivalent to the New Year!
Just looking at the LPL fans who rushed into the comment area of their necks and began to show off their might, Mingrui felt that there was something more or less big in their heads.
Because in the past so many years, LPL fans like to open champagne at half time to celebrate, as if it is their own passive skill, as long as the LPL team achieves some results, then in the eyes of LPL fans, the LPL team can win this year's world championship!
But the question is, from S2 to S6, in the whole five years, in addition to the MSI in 15 years, has LPL won other S championships and MSI championships?
Not a single one!
And which time, didn't they all die on the way to open champagne in the half?
At the time of S2, all LPL viewers felt that Team WE must have been the champion of the S competition that year, after all, they had just won the IPL5 world championship.
The result? WE and IG both fell in the quarterfinals of the year...... Even if there is no CLG network cable pulling incident, the WE team successfully reaches the semi-finals, and it is unlikely that the follow-up will beat the Taipei assassination star of the year!
At the time of S3 and S4, the talented teenager Uzi was born out of nowhere, and everyone had high expectations, especially when Uzi led the royal family to the finals for two consecutive years, everyone thought that he would definitely bring the first S championship to the LPL.
The result? S3 lost to Faker, who is also a talented boy, and S4 even lost to SSW, which has been called the strongest team in the world until now!
As for S5, not to mention, the LPL Summer Champion LGD team has not yet gone abroad, Wei Shen has already begun to struggle with what to choose for the champion skin, and MSI Champion EDG is also aiming for the world champion.
The result? At that time, LGD not only was the first iron not to be an iron man, but also went out directly in the group stage, and as for the EDG team, it lost to the FNC team with a humiliating 0-4 and fell in the quarterfinals!
S6, that is, last year, when everyone claimed that "this year is the most promising year for LPL", the EDG team, the RNG team, and the IM team that completed the triple jump feat went to S6 together, and even held a rather grand departure ceremony.
The result? Before the two official commentators of Doll Miller got off the plane, all three teams of the LPL had been eliminated and went home!
And now, S7's MSI, the group stage has only been played until the second day, and the WE team has only won three BO1 victories, and LPL fans are impatient to book the WE team with the championship of this year's MSI.
The result?
Although the results have not yet happened, in Mingrui's view, the end time of the darkest hour of LPL must not be in this MSI, or even this year.
They LPL need to survive at least until they retire before they have a chance to get a world championship from the hands of the LCK!
"Champagne at half-time? What do you mean? ”
Seeing Mingrui secretly laughing at the screen with his mobile phone, Perkz asked curiously, because after a month of understanding, Perkz can already determine that whenever Dark makes this kind of action and expression, he must be on the line with LPL fans again.
"Fans of WE and LPL have already booked the group to win the qualifiers, and even booked this year's MSI champion."
"Brothers, do you agree? Why don't you put some water on WE tomorrow and satisfy their poor vanity? ”
Dark asked with a smile, and the G2 coach was anxious.
"What the hell? Drain water to WE? Dark, you're out of your mind! ”
"If we really let WE win, LPL fans will start scolding you and our G2, forget it, and European fans will have to scold us for days."
"So don't give WE water tomorrow, our goal is to win the group!"
The G2 coach was in a hurry, but he said solemnly, and Mingrui and his teammates laughed.
"Coach, we're just kidding, how can we release water to WE tomorrow so that they can win?"
"Besides, in the eyes of those LPL fans, I'm a traitor to the LPL, so even if I lose to any team, I can't lose to WE!"
Mingrui said with a smile, and he was already looking forward to tomorrow's match with Team WE.
"A traitor to the LPL? It's not that LPL itself doesn't want you, why did you become a traitor? ”
Zven asked suspiciously, feeling that the logic was somewhat strange.
"Haha, when I wanted to stay in the LPL, they refused for various reasons, and even asked me to get out of the LPL."
"As a result, now seeing that I am so powerful and pose a threat to their LPL, I have become a traitor."
"This may be the unique brain circuit of LPL fans!"
Mingrui sneered and said, but he didn't particularly care about this matter.
After all, the mouth grows on their body, how can Mingrui control their horn or something?
The only thing that Mingrui can do is to use practical actions to break the mouths of all LPL fans through one victory after another against the LPL team!
"It's a pity that our match with WE is scheduled for tomorrow, otherwise we will be able to see the reaction of LPL fans after the WE team lost to us in a while."
"But it doesn't matter, don't you often say a Chinese saying, what kind of good meal is not afraid of being late?"
"Tomorrow, we will definitely be able to beat WE and sit at the top of the group!"
Perkz nodded, patted Mingrui lightly on the shoulder, and said loudly.
……
The second half of the second half of the second day of MSI started very quickly.
In the fourth game, the FW team defeated the GAM team and finally ushered in their first victory in this MSI.
In the fifth game, the WE team appeared again, and continued to beat the TSM team in a hot state, winning the first four consecutive victories in the group stage!
In the sixth game, the G2 team made its finale appearance, and once again defeated the FW team under the "expectation" of all LPL fans, and also won their fourth point in the MSI group stage.
As a result, after the second day of MSI, the standings of the six teams changed slightly.
1st place G2 team, 4-0.
2nd place WE team, 4-0.
3rd place SKT team, 2-2.
4th place FW team, 1-3.
5th place GAM team, 1-3.
6th place TSM team, 0-4.
When this ranking was finally released, it was eight o'clock in the morning.
It's the time when countless LPL fans go to work or school!
And when more and more LPL fans saw that Team WE not only ranked first in the group after the two-day MSI battle, but also directly overtook Team SKT, they had higher expectations for Team WE's final results in this year's MSI!
"It seems that this year is really the most promising year for LPL, SKT is no longer our opponent of WE, how can G2 beat us?"
"What is the identity of G2, why is it 4-0 like our WE? Tomorrow's battle for the top spot in the group stage, WE will definitely abuse G2! ”
"G2 has to be glad that they didn't meet us two days ago, otherwise, how could they be qualified to be tied with our WE?!"
"Look, wait for tomorrow when we break G2's mentality, and in the second round of the follow-up game, G2 may directly lose all 5 games, and then eliminate it directly 4-6!"
"Why does time pass so slowly, it's only half past eight, I really want to fast forward to half past four in the morning tomorrow, and then see WE dry crush G2 with my own eyes!"
On the scarf, countless LPL fans are full of anticipation and confidence for tomorrow's game, and even can't wait to rush into @G2.Dark's scarf again, let him wash and prepare to die, ready to meet the trial from the LPL!
Trials from the LPL?
Seeing these brainless speeches in the comment area, Mingrui only felt ridiculous.
The LPL will judge him, tomorrow's game against the WE team is obviously his first revenge on the entire LPL!
"Let's continue to open champagne for half time, preferably a few more bottles."
"When we win WE tomorrow, you will know who is the real daddy of LPL!"
"When the time comes, I'll see what more you can do with dogs!"
Mingrui snorted coldly, and then withdrew from the scarf.
……
May 13th.
The third match day of the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Champions Invitational Group Stage is just around the corner.
Matchday 3 is special because the first three games will be the last three games of the first round of the group stage, and the last three games will go directly to the second round of the group stage BO1 round-robin.
The first three games were crucial for all six teams.
Not only will it affect how each team will stand after the first round, but it will also affect how they qualify after the second round!
In other words, no one wants to lose if they can!
But in the face of absolute strength, confidence cannot play any role in the outcome of the game.
In the first game, Team SKT slaughtered Team GAM directly, officially fixing their first round record at 3-2 and Team GAM at 1-4.
In the second game, even if the TSM team wanted to get their first victory in this MSI, they still struggled to find a win against the FW team, who also wanted to win more, and lost again, freezing the first round record at 0-5 and giving the FW team a 2-3 record.
And when these two slightly "boring" games finally ended, the audience around the world was finally shocked and instantly refreshed.
Because the next third game is not only the last game of the first round of the group stage, but also a match that everyone is looking forward to!
Team G2 and Team WE, the two teams that have beaten SKT in the first two days of the tournament and won four in a row, are finally about to meet each other for the first time and the first round of the group stage!
As long as you win this key game, you can not only lock in the group qualification place in advance, but also become the real group leader!
But the most eye-catching point of this game is not at all.
It's about the blood feud between these two teams!
Is it the "traitor" of the LPL WE team who is the "traitor" of the G2 team Dark?
Or will Dark succeed in getting revenge on the LPL, the garbage division that slandered him and expelled him?
It's all in the upcoming battle for the top spot!
