The opening ceremony ended.

The appearance of eight teams also kicked off the quarterfinals.

LPL's official live broadcast room.

The three official presenters are energetically making opening remarks.

"The upcoming start is the 2019 League of Legends World Championship, the first BO5 of the quarterfinals, which will be played by SKT, the No. 1 seed of the LCK, against GRF, the No. 2 seed of the LCK!"

When he said this, there was obviously a hint of laughter in the commentary's voice, and the expressions of the three of them were a little uncontrollable.

No way.

As soon as it came up, it was a civil war between the first and second seeds in the LCK, and the fun was just too great!

Just look at the anxious expressions of the LCK audience at the scene, you can see that their mood in this game can be called extremely tangled!

Belong to the kind of people who won't feel good no matter which side wins.

"Ahem, the outcome of this game is not very predictable."

"Well, the odds should be similar on both sides, but I'm actually more optimistic about GRF, especially their double C, which feels like there is a lot of potential."

"Well, we're the opposite, I'm more optimistic about SKT, for no other reason, it's Faker, he's already created a lot of miracles on the world stage, I don't know if this year will bring us the same surprise."

“.”

The three commentators are saying everything you say and I say it one by one.

Finally, the competition has officially begun.

As everyone thought before the game, this is undoubtedly a close and evenly matched game.

From the perspective of the player's individual ability, such as reaction speed, extreme operation, etc., the GRF side is undoubtedly stronger.

After all, just in terms of age, SKT can be called an elderly kayak.

But!

SKT's tactical reserves are obviously much richer!

In addition, the extremely mature operation strategy and team cooperation.

These are incomparable to GRF, a young team that has never entered the S competition!

So in the beginning, the first inning.

Not surprisingly, GRF got an early advantage.

In addition to the Sword Emperor on the upper road, the middle and lower lines of GRF are all line excellent!

The jungler Tarzan is even more like a fish in water, with a signature spider in one hand, and in just 15 minutes, he killed 6-0!

The spider, a pure carnivorous jungler, took off, and the impact on the situation was too great.

Catch people and cross the tower without much effort!

Playing and playing, the second half of SKT completely collapsed, Viper's Kasumi took over the game in advance, and in 29 minutes, the SKT base exploded!

For a while, many GRF fans were excited!

pity

Second inning.

SKT set a trap from the beginning of BP, shaking Lucian to the top lane and giving the bottom lane a pair of EZ and cat bastard combinations.

The operation strategy after the opening is even more prominent in a surrounding point to help, obviously using GRF on the road as a breakthrough, but the result is to catch Tarzan who rushed to support first!

Faker's enchantress took off, seizing opportunities at every turn, and the GRF situation collapsed.

So, 32 minutes, the game ended.

The third game.

It's another classic tactical competition.

Khan sacrificed the top single Quinn, and Teddy and Effort on the lower lane took out a combination of Yasuo and Wine Barrel!

Not only did he shake the GRF dizzily on BP, but in the subsequent game, he played one routine after another, and he couldn't tell the GRF a little indistinguishable from the southeast, northwest, and northwest!

So, just 26 minutes, the third game was over.

The score came to 2:1.

SKT has two match points in hand!

Fourth inning.

GRF Double C is back in force.

Breaking out in a desperate situation, a tsar and a Kaisha, turning the tide under the disadvantage, and fighting a perfect team battle!

Complete the comeback!

As a result, under the watchful eye, the most tense fifth game unfolded.

There is no doubt that the game has completely heated up here.

The two sides almost all means out, and all the hole cards that can be turned over have been turned over!

What is a mid-laner cannon, a top-laner sword girl, and a jungler death song, it is simply eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers!

The battle between the two sides lasted for 45 minutes!

In the end, it was SKT's toughness that was superior, catching a single wave of radical moves on the opposite side in the Ancient Dragons, and Faker's small cannon soared into the sky to complete the harvest.

This is the only way to win this wave of team battles and end the game.

“Faker！ Last shot! Viper poured!! ”

"They're about to win this game!"

The voice of the European commentator was so excited that it trembled a little: "SKT!! Or SKT!! They continued their dynasty and declared who was the real king of the LCK!! ”

There is no doubt that the intensity of this game is definitely the highest since the start of this S competition!

The strength of both sides of the game has been perfectly displayed almost in this BO5!

From the player's personal ability, to BP design, tactical reserves, hero pool foundation, etc., it is almost to the point of exhaustion!

It is also because of this that the excitement of this BO5 has reached a very high level.

After the game, the whole scene was boiling!

Tens of thousands of spectators chanted 'SKT' and 'Faker' in unison!

Meanwhile.

On the Internet, the amount of discussion about this BO5 has soared!

At one time, some people even thought that the classic degree of this game had surpassed the original S6 semi-finals SKT vs. ROX!

Even IG and others, who were watching the game backstage, all looked shocked by my mother's expression.

"Turtle turtle, this is really going to dig out anything."

"Although, it's all over today, how will they play in the semifinals?"

Obviously, this question is not just on their minds.

On the Korean Open, the related discussions are also high!

"Lose both!"

"Xiba, although SKT won, the price is too great!!"

"Sure enough, I said that the civil war is the most hurtful!"

"Damn, why is the LPL team's luck so good?!"

“.”

After a civil war, the Korean net broke the defense again.

Madrid, live.

An hour later.

The scene, which has cooled down, ushered in the second game of the day.

FPX vs. TL!

Compared with the tension and excitement of the previous game, this BO5 is far from the same in terms of intensity and suspense.

And that's exactly what happened.

Three games.

FPX is almost overwhelming, breaking through TL from all sides!

BP, laning, supporting, field control, teaming. In every direction, almost crushing!

Not surprisingly, 3:0, the game ended.

The average length of the game did not even exceed 30 minutes.

"Oh~~!! FPX！！ ”

"Congratulations FPX! With an almost crushing attitude, defeat TL! ”

"This little phoenix from LPL has completed their nirvana and is beginning to fly high! Maybe they have to fly to the throne at the end of S9, and they will choose to land! ”

At the scene, the commentators of each competition area looked excited.

Although in terms of intensity, this game is completely incomparable to the last one.

But. It's cool!

FPX is almost pressing TL all the time!

There is no stalemate between the two sides, any balance of power to find opportunities, etc.!

There is no tangled place, the whole BO5 can be called in one go, giving people an incomparably silky sense of déjà vu!

All in all.

At this point, the quarterfinals of the first day came to an end.

The list of the two teams from the left half of the region that advanced to the semi-finals has been confirmed: SKT, FPX!
