Hotel.

It's not a quiet day.

Karsa swung her neck and swayed into the esports room. As soon as I entered, I saw a very reassuring figure.

"Early." He found his place.

"Early." Qin Hao responded.

There is still a little time before the quarterfinals, and everyone is training hard. After all, there is no room for error in the knockout round, and there will be no opportunity to adjust if you lose.

Of course.

Compared with Qin Hao, Karsa felt that the training intensity was not high. After all, he couldn't stay up that late, and he couldn't get up that early.

But I played too much ranked yesterday and almost fell asleep in the game...... However, when you think about the importance of the knockouts, these exhaustions are nothing.

After all, no matter what, just stick to it for a month.

When the world championship is over, you will either take a vacation to recuperate with honor, or take a vacation to heal with bitterness.

Compared to the latter, Karsa would rather be a little more tired.

Because he has been a professional for so many years, he is always one of the members who take early vacations.

Truth be told, he doesn't miss those days. Although you don't have to stay up until four or five o'clock, you don't have to play a dozen rankings every day, you don't have to review the game and be publicly executed, and you don't have to be so tired that you fall asleep.

But the days of no achievements are really empty.

That's what I was thinking.

Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps, Karsa couldn't help but turn her neck, and then saw C-Bo with a face that hadn't woken up.

"Huh?"

Karsa was incoherent.

He thought that in this team, Qin Hao was the most diligent, and C Bo was lazy, but he didn't expect the sun to come out in the west, and C Bo actually woke up.

He glanced at the computer screen in the lower right corner.

That's right.

12:42 p.m.

A point where it is impossible for a C Bo to wake up.

Seeing that C Bo sat down very consciously, Karsa couldn't help it: "I got up very early." Karsa meant to be surprised.

It turned out that C-Bo was rolling his eyes.

"I just had a dream, I dreamed that PP was killed by the crown, and I cried at me when I lost the job, crying so much that it was a heart-rending ......"

C Bo emphasized that Qin Hao cried miserably: "I was stunned, desperately trying to say something, but just as I was about to speak, I woke up." When I woke up, I saw that there was no one in the bed, and I couldn't sleep again when I wanted to......

Eh, it's all to blame PP for saying that he practices more, which makes me a little nervous now. ”

Qin Hao listened interestingly: "Did I really cry so loudly?" ”

"yes." C Bo nodded.

Seeing how much the two were chatting and crying, Karsa couldn't help but complain: "Dreams are all reversed." ”

"Well, I don't think it's possible either." C Bo yawned and said, "I haven't seen PP cry." ”

"I haven't seen you cry either."

Karsa covers her face, this has to fight?

"Harm." C Bo remembered what he had just swiped in the toilet, and while opening the client, he said, "Do you know that WE fans and RNG fans have quarreled. ”

"Yes." That's exactly why Karsa doesn't feel like it's a quiet day. Who would have thought that the quarterfinals had not yet started, and the Internet could be so lively.

"What?" Qin Hao didn't pay attention to Chaohua, and he didn't understand that the war had started.

"It seems that WE fans are celebrating the good signing and offending RNG fans."

"It's the score prediction post between RNG and SKT, and there are WE fans who support SKT to win." Karsa eats a different melon.

"Harm, anyway, the two sides are spraying passionately." Speaking of this, C Bo laughed: "The most interesting thing is that WE fans also made an IOU." ”

"What an IOU."

"I owe RNG an S Race champion."

Qin Hao: ......

~~~

At night.

Cvmax stood in front of the tactical board, listing the lineup BP that SSG had done from the playoffs to the group stage.

“…… SSG basically only play these lineups, and compared to the playoffs, they currently tend to let the top singles pick some heroes who are more comfortable, and then focus on controlling the view.

So as long as the frontal line is not opened, every round of troops will enter and the next wave of troops will come, and they will be able to take time to make up for their vision. ”

"To be more specific, their dragon control rate and vanguard control rate are not high, and they like to exchange these neutral resources for defense towers."

After talking about the focus of the SSG.

Cvmax gave his thoughts: "We want to be comfortable playing, we have to keep the opposing jungler active in our field of vision.

In addition, we must have a way to open the midline strongly, and not allow the Ruler to develop comfortably in the defensive line. ”

Finally, Cvmax concluded: "The most important thing in this version is the mid-tempo. As long as CuVee takes away the side towers and has enough time for us to huddle and push, they will have a hard time. ”

“……”

At the same time.

Edgar objectively analyzes what could happen in the quarterfinals.

"LGD's strong opening is more lethal than RNG, if you don't want to occupy the middle in the middle of the road, you have to defend more in the middle, understand?"

See the crown nodding.

Edgar added: "Also, LGD's offense is very efficient. This team mainly revolves around Nakanosuke, hoarding on the road, and conditional four-pack two to open up the situation.

As such, they rarely miss.

Because if they can't open the lane, they will use the mid laner to wander around and play a round with more fights and fewer fights, so as to seek the rhythm of the next wave.

In addition, the ability to fight in the middle is also crucial, and both Karsa and Eimy will help the midline accumulate advantages by squatting or gank along the way.

Although I don't want to say it, the reason why LGD's offensive efficiency is high is based on the premise that there are not many mistakes in the middle line.

So what we have to do is not to force Penicillin to make mistakes, but to try to hold him back. ”

This last sentence is entirely addressed to the crown.

It's also a way for the SSG coaching staff to meditate hard and feel that it can pull down Penicillin's presence.

If you have to say it.

Neither side of the mid laner does anything, which is only good for SSG, and there is no harm in it.

After all, the crown can't do it like Penicillin, through his own laning ability to get lane control, and then help teammates open up the situation through wandering support.

It's not that the crown is arrogant and unwilling to learn Penicillin.

It's Penicillin's style of play, which tests the ability to read the game too much. And Penicillin sacrifices a little bit of development and can still play. This does not mean that it doesn't matter if others are inferior.

Next.

SSG simulates BP.

Edgar lists Cannon, Charlotte, Prince Galio, Jace Tree, Emerald Double Shot, and Clockwork Nightmare.

"If it's the first development strip, Nightmare, how are we going to fight?" The LGD hero pool is too deep and the ban is not enough. If you go to red, you can't break the combination.

"Sending out nightmares, you can't play soft auxiliaries." CoreJJ said directly: "The strength of this combination lies in the attrition of the team and the filling of damage. If you want to crack it, you have to make it difficult for the nightmare to fly. ”

"SKT was seconds all the time that day because the clockwork was so well developed. And after being opened, no one helped AD open the nightmare. ”

"But if LGD wants to play, they will definitely ban Kasumi, or grab it themselves."

"If they block Kasumi, the first round of banning will definitely not be enough, I can Tamu or Bull Head, and then AD will bring a barrier to protect itself. As long as the first time is not seconded, you can find an opportunity to reverse it in the future. ”

"What about the sideways?"

Nightmare Clockwork is also a high threat to the flanks.

"If they want to arrest them, they have to send out two or three people, and we can take the opportunity to push down the middle tower and sweep the upper half of the area.

And SKT loses because it can't be delayed, as long as we can bite the economy, find an opportunity to make up for the golden body and resurrect the armor, the nightmare clockwork is not so good to play the combined fire advantage. ”

Sounds like a good idea.

At least I have a clear idea of the match in my head.

But Emperor Qi felt that it was not that simple, but he couldn't say the reason, but he was a little empty in his heart.

In fact.

There was only one thing he could hear from these discussions, and that was that they were particularly afraid of Penicillin's play.

He was thinking: when can he be so jealous of his opponent?

Training matches that followed.

Seeing that the crown was the first to die in a Karma team fight, Ambison shouted hysterically: "Are you serious about playing!" Yes! Or are you going to fight LGD with this state? ”

Behind.

Edgar frowned, "What's the fire in the training match?" ”

"Assiba."

After Ambison gave his death gaze, he got up and poured water for himself, suppressing the nameless fire in his heart. He didn't understand why he was so grumpy.

But he just couldn't help it.

He's 25 years old, and he doesn't dare to think that if he can't break through this year, what will those people think of him?

Is he going to live his life as a loser?

If there is no champion, no one will think he is strong.

When talking about the ID of Ambition, he will always only talk about the upgraded praying mantis in front of the tower, as if his career was condensed by that one shot, and Xiba is a harlequin.

Of course.

For the jungler's gaffe, everyone should not have seen it.

in South Korea.

It is very common for seniors to lecture juniors, and no one thinks that there is anything wrong with what Ambixin is doing, the only problem is that the tone can not be so rushed.

CuVee resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "We still have time. ”

"When?" After drinking the water, Ambison shouted: "That's right, what we lack most is time. ”

"Calm down." Edgar soothed.

There was a dead silence in the living room.

Everyone was thinking about what Ambison said.

Because Emperor Qi feels that they really seem to lack the most time, if the top eight don't draw LGD, they may not be so impatient in terms of mentality.

Crushed by a mountain.

Everyone in the SSG is losing patience. It's just that some people have a higher patience value, and some people have a lower patience value.

Night.

In his sleep, CoreJJ faintly heard someone crying. He got up and turned his head to look at the next bed, and found that the crown was holding the quilt and secretly calling someone.

"I'm so tired......"

He inhaled, tears streaming down his cheeks, "I'm afraid of being on the line with him, I'm afraid of being pressured by my teammates, and the thought of losing makes me feel bad...... Mom, I'm probably not fit to play professionally. ”

CoreJJ sighed as he listened.

He hated the atmosphere in the SSG team, but he couldn't change it. As a Korean, he was fed up with the so-called respect for his predecessors.

In the middle of the night.

CoreJJ suddenly missed his days in North America. At that time, although I always lost, I was able to get joy from the game.

He could understand the pain of the crown.

As an aid, he will be reprimanded by Ambixin if he doesn't do a good job, and this feeling of being scolded by his peers is very bad.

Thinking of the expiration of the contract at the end of the year.

He began to think about whether it would be a good choice to stay in the LCK and compete for the championship. The facts of these two years have taught him that enduring exhaustion does not necessarily lead to results.

Three days passed.

After the stage of brainless curses, the scolding war between WE and RNG has entered a new height, and netizens have begun to think carefully about what kind of content can make the opponent angry.

"Xiaohu, it's not just Qingyi'er, it's also Fei'er, if you don't believe it, just wait and see."

"Bang beats Uzi, there's a saying."

"Although Huni is a bit abstract, it should be fine to order."

Hear these words.

RNG fans are.

After all, this is the first time WE2.0 has entered the World Championship, and they can't review the classics.

The other side.

Qin Hao and others left Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, and then took a bus to the hotel. Sitting by the window, Qin Hao felt that everything in front of him was very fresh.

Speaking of which, Guangzhou is his second hometown.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, many people from my hometown came to work here.

He just looked greedily at the green belt next to the street, watching people come and go.

Rested for the night at the hotel.

Everyone rushed to shoot the promotional video of the quarterfinals the day before the start of the competition.

When asked how he felt about his achievements and if he could pass on the experience of quickly adapting to LPL to those who are about to embark on a career journey?

Facing the camera.

Qin Hao thought for a while and replied, "I am also here to thank my teammates and coaches. ”

Fujii's filming team looked at Qin Hao, who answered the question unhurriedly, and was not satisfied in their hearts. Listen, how sensible is this answer?

And there is no need to reshoot it a second time at all, which saves a lot of effort.

"As for imparting experience, it may be to communicate more, and the training match is a little more demanding of yourself."

When saying this.

Qin Hao inexplicably thought of the big wolf, and remembered that when the big wolf first came to LGD, he also said that he had discussed him with his roommate in the dormitory.

"On top of that, I want my juniors to remember that from the moment you start your career, you're only aiming for a championship."

Hiss!

The director glanced at the photographer and whispered: "I feel that this section has to change scenes, and it is better to have a condescending feeling." ”

The interior scenes they are now shooting, the green screens they are paving.

In fact.

Most of the promotional videos for the top eight are just going through the motions, saying a word or two if you want to win, and then adding some Guangzhou landmarks to it.

The problem is that as a director, I have a bit of a desire to express myself.

Seeing that Qin Hao said it so well, the director remembered the legendary meaning contained in the theme song, and felt that this section should not be filmed so roughly.

"Where's the shot?"

"Yuexiu Park."

"I'm fine, you're the director anyway." Photographer Lao Zhang quipped.

Seeing the staff packing up the equipment, Qin Hao thought that the filming was over, and was about to go back to the dressing room to find his teammates, but just turned around, the director shouted: "Eh, Xiao Hao." ”

"Huh?"

"You haven't finished filming yet?"

Qin Hao: "??? He remembered that when he was waiting in the dressing room, C Bo and Big Wolf took a total of one point.

Qin Hao didn't understand, so he could only follow the shooting team.

When he arrived at the place, the director asked him to raise his head slightly, and he asked him to climb a small hill, and he went to climb it. When he went back, C Bo also complained: "Wori, let us wait for so long." ”

"I don't want to."

Qin Hao probably said what happened, and C Bo showed a suspicious look: "And the exterior part?" How did I not. ”

But C Bo didn't bother with this.

Although he is the nominal captain, the outside world thinks that Qin Hao is.

However, Qin Hao looked at Weibo and many people aite him, and asked if he had arrived in Guangzhou, Qin Hao posted a photo of the airport, with the text-

"Guangzhou, we're coming!"

Just updated the dynamics.

The comment area suddenly flooded with many netizens.

[Ha, this time I can see Qingshen offline. 】

[You have to win.] 】

[There is no confidence in playing SSG. 】

Netizens have too many questions to ask.

For example, how do you eat, how do you sleep, whether you like Guangzhou or not, and how do you think about the recent war between RNG fans and WE fans.

Faced with such enthusiasm, Qin Hao could only try to pick some questions to answer.

In the blink of an eye.

The quarterfinals begin.

Qin Hao sat on the sofa in the hotel and finally saw the results of that day's shooting. The first half of this promotional video, as in previous years, does not have much new ideas.

They all cut some of the highlights of the game, and then inserted the shooting materials of each team member.

Until—

The camera was given to Qin Hao, and the video first chatted in the form of narration to thank his teammates and encourage newcomers to have higher requirements for themselves in the training competition.

And then.

The camera chased Qin Hao's back, followed him into the park, passed by the stone statue of the five sheep, and finally walked up the hillside.

In this gradually elevated angle.

Qin Hao spoke.

But when his first sentence came out, the audience at the scene and in front of the screen was dumbfounded.

In the picture, Qin Hao looked at the bottom indifferently, "I hope my juniors can remember that from the moment you embark on your career path, your goal is only - the championship." ”

Yes?

No one expected that at the end of the promotional video, there were such cool words hidden. What is everyone talking about cheering for the team, not disappointing the fans, and then defeating the xx team or something.

How did you get to Qin Hao, the style of painting has changed.

This indifferent tone, combined with a condescending perspective, makes the audience feel very good.

On the commentary seat.

Miller sighed with emotion, as if he remembered last year's championship moment, and at the scene, it was clear that the host was about to introduce the upcoming RNG and SKT, but many people were shouting Qingshen.

Letme was a little confused when she first appeared.

I thought that Qin Hao had come to the scene to supervise the battle.

In the face of the surging barrage, RNG fans gasped: Nima, grab my home team shot, right?

"I'm blanching."

"New Bible!!"

"This forces me to give 100 points."

"That's no problem, Qingshen is indeed qualified to say so, he just debuted and won the championship, you just say the goal is right."

"If you change someone else, I will say that you have it in your dreams, and if you change the green god, then it's no problem."

"Only I noticed that the director was a bit excessive, the finale plus the special scene design. Everyone else sat on a high stool and shouted, only Qingshen was at the top of the slope. ”

"Don't ask, ask is the MV protagonist."

In the background, all the members of SKT and RNG appeared.

The first game of the quarterfinals broke out between China and South Korea.

The strength of the two teams is equal, and everyone has the possibility of going to the magic capital.

This round of quarterfinals is indeed as many viewers imagined, and it was more anxious.

After Xiaohu single-handedly killed Faker, Huni wore it, Puppy vn stubbornly gnawed the next game, and Blank grabbed Da Long and Faker Gallio after one and four guarantees.

The two teams came to the fifth inning.

"Do you want to put Galio in it?"

"What's wrong with putting Galio, you can press it."

"Believe in General Tiger."

"Bang's big mouth, Uzi's mouse."

The tiebreaker was treacherous, and the incense pot once again took the lead in opening the situation and suppressing Blank.

But Galio's key move proves that Brother Li is still your Brother Li.

"This kind of situation depends on who can't hold it."

It's like confirming Cbo's words.

In the late game, teammates are on the front line, and rats are stealthy in front of their own high ground, trying to find an angle to steal damage.

Pulling.

SKT is preparing to wait for the next wave of soldiers to come, and the mouse Q skill disappears to reveal the position. As a result, he was directly killed by Bang's big mouth.

As soon as AD fell, Blank crossed the tower strongly to open the group, and cooperated with Galio's second approach to tear up the formation.

"RNG, which we had high hopes for, fell on the road to eight into four......"

Ultimately.

SKT won 3-2 against RNG.

Under the camera, Uzi's face was already red, and his eyes were full of anger.

After the game.

Five Galio appeared on the hot search, plus the three Galio in the summer semi-final, fans built more than 100,000 floors in the official blog group.

Next.

The 60E thought WE could run over easily.

As a result, MSF's black technology enthusiastic female Tanga robot gnawed two games in a row, and finally relied on Mstic's explosive seed to get 3 to 2......
