"Congratulations SKT!! This year's regular season journey has come to a successful end. ”

"Congratulations to T1... They will directly lock in the LCK Summer Finals in advance, enter the LCK Finals again, and aim for the Summer Finals trophy! ”

At the LCK scene, the Roaring Emperor was emotional and embarrassed.

The final BO3 of today's regular season of the summer season is very exciting, and the overall strength shown by SKT is already worthy of the official sentence - the evaluation of the S6 favorite.

With SKT's points for the whole year this year, in fact, no matter whether the finals are successful or lost, they will lock in a place for this year's LCK region to participate in the S6 World Finals.

The difference is only whether they can win another trophy and whether they can complete the crowning double in one year this year.

"The first team to advance to the S6 World Championship was born?"

"It should be... Although the format of the wild card and the European and American sides is early, it is a little different from the bubble tournament of the LCK, SKT is the overall champion of this year's spring tournament, and with the points of the summer tournament, the second seed has been locked. ”

"If they win the Grand Final, they'll be the No. 1 seed..."

"Welcome to San Francisco, (host of the 2016 World Championship group stage) SKT!"

Guan Zeyuan said in a complicated tone, inexplicably a little scared in his heart.

Here it is, SKT is really here!

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, since the end of MSI, the most 'worried' thing for everyone in the LPL division has happened.

SKT advanced to the S6 Global Finals, or is it such a strong promotion, how should the LPL region respond?

This time it's not MSI, it's the only palace-level event with the highest gold content, the S race.

There are three teams participating in the LPL region, will there be a 'grand occasion' of being beaten by SKT in turn?

Just thinking about it makes everyone feel hopeless.

……

RNG Club.

"SKT has advanced to S6."

"Faker and Reaper are so strong."

"Please, don't be in the same group as SKT in the group stage..."

The RNG people who followed today's game all the time, and when they saw the end of the game, they suddenly had mixed feelings, and they were inexplicably looking forward to it.

A staff member also folded his hands and said that he should never touch SKT in the S race.

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately stared at by the current starting members of RNG.

"So... It's interesting. ”

"I've been wanting revenge for a long time! SKT is well qualified! ”

Liu Shiyu is gearing up, and the improvement of this summer game, as well as the dominance and intensity shown by the team since the introduction of Uzi in the lower lane, have made him more confident.

The current RNG is not the RNG that was beaten up on MSI half a year ago.

"You said yes? Li Yuanhao. ”

Xiaohu had a discerning smile on his face, didn't reply, and asked Uzi, who was sitting on the chair and looked like a big brother: "Puppy, what do you think?" ”

"It's a small thing, I've played in the finals with SKT, and we have such a strong team now, there's no need to be afraid of them."

Jane was proud and confident.

With RNG's performance in this year's spring and summer seasons, they will most likely advance to the finals in the playoffs, and the championship trophy that Uzi longs for seems to be coming true today.

Similarly, due to the points ranking of this year's Spring and Summer Tournament, RNG has almost also locked a spot in the LPL to participate in the S6 World Finals.

“Reaper… Since I'm here for the royal family, I'm sure I'll have revenge! ”

Uzi thought.

……

EDG Club.

"Why isn't SKT dead, does this team qualify for the S competition every year?"

"No, didn't they make the cut in S4?"

"It's so stressful... Don't run into it in the group stage. ”

The atmosphere was depressing, and Ah Guang joked with a grin: "You also said that Reaper would 'keep his hand', right?" After all, the S match is not MSI, is this too much if it is such a heavy hand on our LPL? ”

The crowd was silent.

SKT's excellent form and results in this year's summer season have put a lot of pressure on them.

However, it is still early to think about this, and they need to actively prepare for the playoffs and study the opponent RNG to focus on.

As for the S race... Anyway, the three teams in the LPL, they don't believe that SKT can beat them all.

Meanwhile.

There are still many regions and teams, and after seeing the end of the regular season of the LCK Summer Season, SKT still maintains an undefeated record, and an invisible pressure is coming, as if it is about to encounter a wild beast.

——The current SKT, in the eyes of the world, is a wild beast and a villain boss.

……

“Nice”

"Congratulations."

"You've had a hard time this year."

Back in the background, SKT was relieved and thanked by the club's management.

After a whole year of dedication, S6's 'new SKT' once again advanced to the World Championship, and as we all know, once SKT qualified for the World Championship, it was a well-deserved protagonist.

The effort is rewarded, even if he is as tired as Bae Junzhi, he has an unconcealable smile on his face at the moment.

"Triple crown... Is there a real chance that it will happen..."

Kkoma's eyes were in a trance.

Now, their schedule is only the final LCK Finals, which is a battle between the champion and the No. 1 seed, and the importance of this is needless to say.

Before that, they don't need to participate in the bubble tournament in the LCK, and have a lot of time to study their opponents and practice their lineups.

Waiting for the arrival of the S6 World Finals.

The thoughts that once came up like a dream bubble, and the vision in my heart, seem to have a chance to become a reality.

Of course...

Before that, they had to face tougher opponents, whether it was the Summer Finals or S6, and Kkoma had a hunch that ROX would be the biggest obstacle on their way to winning the championship.

Lee Sang-hyuk did not participate in the discussion, he sat next to Chen Yiqiu, his eyes were empty, and his thoughts turned a thousand times.

Compared to others, he is now thinking about the 'unexpected' things.

When S6 arrives, Chen Yiqiu's contract will expire in a month or two, and at that time, will he continue to stay at SKT?

"What are you doing in a daze, you want to be quiet?"

Chen Yiqiu looked at Li Xianghyuk stunned and patted the other party.

"Ahh It's okay, just a little emotional... Time flies, and we've all been fighting together for almost a year. ”

Lee Sang-hyuk said with a smile.

"It's early, it's still a few months away."

Chen Yiqiu didn't care, and said with a smile: "How about it, you don't have to play a bubble match, do you want to date Enjing during the holidays?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lee Sang-hyuk suddenly broke his skills and said, "This... How can this be dated, there is no competition, there is still training, and there is also preparation for S6... How can you date. ”

Chen Yiqiu gave a thumbs up.

It's you, a super addicted teenager.

Lee Sang-hyuk remembered another thing.

Speaking of girlfriends, Chen Yiqiu seems to have been silent, but in fact, Lee Sang-hyuk feels that the other party should be a more ambitious person, make more money, and later start a family.

Make more money... After the end of the MSI, the offers made by countless giants in various major regions are not low at all.

At that time, there was still SKT's contract liquidated damages, but this time S6 ended, and there was no contract?

If Chen Yiqiu plays well in S6 this year, or even wins the championship, he will become a veritable 'champion top laner'...

How will he choose the white banknotes?

The more Lee Sang-hyuk thought about it, the more his heart sank, and he made up his mind that he would have to talk to the supervisor afterwards and improve the treatment of his S6 teammates if they played well.

In this way, there are thousands of thoughts, and it is rare to let go of thinking about the future.

The post-match interview came as scheduled.

Chen Yiqiu was invited to the LCK interview seat.

This interview with him was not Zhao Enjing, the regular season ended and was replaced by a roaring emperor with a higher 'coffee position'.

"How do you feel about winning all the games in the summer and ending perfectly?"

Standing in the interview seat, Emperor Roaring looked at Chen Yiqiu with admiration and reverence.

In the past year, the LCK's official and commentators have been very impressed with Reaper's performance, and after MSI, he has been regarded as one of the LCK's iconic top laners.

Hearing this, Chen Yiqiu told the truth: "The performance of my teammates is very important, and for me personally, this summer competition is a pleasant and unforgettable journey. ”

"Everyone is now 'comparing' Ling to the Faker players in your team, and the two of you are also known as the 'Double King' in the media, what do you think of this? Did the two of you discuss this in private? ”

Chen Yiqiu smiled and said: "Lee Sang-hyuk is a very good player, he has always been my role model, we haven't discussed it in private, but I told him, um... I took the initiative to show him. ”

He recognized it and gave it a thumbs up.

"Hahaha..."

Just listening to Chen Yiqiu's words, everyone can already imagine Brother Li's iconic thumb movements and expressions.

Roaring Emperor Wan'er, he continued to ask: "How do you feel about Riot's official listing of you as the number one unit on this year's official list?" ”

God's official world first...

Chen Yiqiu complained, it was obviously the famous 'poisoned milk list'.

If he could, he would rather not be on this list, but whoever made the list, except for a few people, none of them ended well.

Of course, he still said very seriously on the surface: "I hope it will live up to everyone's expectations." ”

The Roaring Emperor nodded, he also knew the stalk of the poisoned milk list, Dade of S4, the top ten and 8 LPL players in the S5 list, all died honorably and were out of the quarterfinals.

It can be said that it is another major metaphysics in addition to beef noodles.

Smiled and asked the last question: "Hmm... This year has really been a year of legend and hope for Reaper, and so far, it seems that all you have left on your journey is the 'Grand Finals'. ’”

"LCK Summer Finals, S6 World Finals, the big stage, what are your expectations for the upcoming events? Can you predict who will play in this year's Summer Finals? ”

"The bigger the stage, the more excited I am, and as for the opponents in the finals... Personally, I'm more bullish on ROX. ”

At the end of the post-match interview, Chen Yiqiu returned to the backstage amid full applause.

After that, the teammates who had waited until they had participated in other media interviews returned to the SKT base together.

……

At the same time, after the game, not only the major teams and players in the LPL region 'overreacted', but the LPL audience was also a little 'panicked' at the moment.

[Report!] SKT won all the regular season and skipped the bubble game to play the finals! 】

[100% will participate in S6, now it depends on the number of seeds. 】

[ROX, ROX to do something! ] 】

[I still believe in the Tigers, looking at the state in the second half of the summer season, ROX should be the only team that can do SKT hard. 】

[Is it only me who feels hopeless? SKT, ROX, Samsung, KT... Which one is not LPL's dad here? 】

[The most feared episode of the LPL division is really here! ] 】

[Woo woo, I'm LPL, I'm starting to cry. 】

[Chen Sheng: MSI is just a small test, I will let you know what cruelty is! 】

[Don't be embarrassed, S6 has begun, and Chen Sheng's return to LPL has entered the countdown! ] 】

[I'm super, really, I don't believe Reaper is a true saint, at the end of the one-year contract, LPL will directly throw money at him and stun him, next year's S7, he will be the best list in our LPL! ] 】

[Don't look at the capitals, don't you want traffic and results? Let's get started! 】

The end of the regular season of the summer season, the finals of the summer competition and S6 in each major region are about to open, which has caused many viewers to itch.

Among them, everyone is obviously concerned about Chen Yiqiu's trends in the new year, and everyone is obviously to the extent of a kind of demonic shock.

Although it is too early to talk about the future direction, it will only be known in a few months.

Among them, the 'enthusiasm' and 'piety' of the LPL division have reached an unprecedented level.

But as long as Chen Yiqiu can give full play to the dominating strength of MSI in this year's S competition, his value and popularity will usher in a real take-off.

The official secretly watched all this and did not say a word.

They're waiting for the biggest event of the year to begin, and they're also preparing for their own playoffs.

……

Time flashed, and the LPL summer playoffs opened first, but SKT didn't pay much attention to it.

After the regular season, they only took one day off and then continued into the devilish death training session.

Research ROX, target ROX, and try your best to deal with ROX.

That's right, Chen Yiqiu's interview was not polite.

The whole SKT team agreed that ROX will definitely advance to the finals this year and will become the archenemy of SKT to create a treble dynasty.

Because anyone who is not blind, viewers who have watched the second half of this year's LCK Summer Tournament can see that ROX is more than one notch stronger than when the spring and just summer games began.

There is no disadvantage in the three lines, the version has changed, the jungler has completely become the mainstream, and the state of the little peanut has reached its peak.

The Tigers' signature ferocious attack was amplified to the extreme.

It can't help but make people wonder if this year's version of the S6 World Championship is specifically 'tailor-made' for the Tigers.

The time, place, and people are favorable, and the Tigers occupy all of them, so they can't be careless.

They can vaguely perceive that their opponents are not only the whole world, but also the official!

As a result, they didn't pay much attention to the opening day of the LCK playoffs.

It wasn't until ROX crushed all the teams and made it all the way to the LCK Summer Finals, and then unsurprisingly met SKT at the top of the summer that SKT came out of this state.

No surprises, no surprises indeed.

"ROX, this group of stinky boys has really advanced, it's hard to do."

Lee Jae-wan, who has always been arrogant and doesn't take anyone in his eyes except SKT, couldn't help but rub his eyebrows after watching today's bubble game.

In contrast, they would have liked to have played three stars in the finals, or KT.

ROX this team... They don't want to bump into it.

It's not that they can't beat it, it's that compared to other teams, they will have an easier time and a higher probability of winning the cup.

"Isn't it normal for the strongest to advance to the finals?"

Lee Sang-hyuk's expression was flat, and he didn't approve of Wolf's metaphysical remarks of 'it would be nice if so-and-so was promoted'.

"If they don't advance, they will have ghosts."

Chen Yiqiu also laughed.

At the same time, I knew in my heart that the next step was the real tough battle.

In the finals, ROX is played, and after the game, it is S6, and in the face of the world's strong forces, SKT cannot slack off.

You have to be prepared.

"In other words, RNG has also advanced, in the first autumn, the LPL division should have determined two teams this year, EDG and RNG."

Bae Jun-sik smiled and asked, "You don't have any pressure to hit them, right?" ”

Although everyone at SKT has been training recently and hasn't paid much attention to the progress of the playoffs in the LPL and other regions, a team like this that can advance to the S competition still knows the news.

The LPL region confirmed the teams for the Summer Finals yesterday.

RNGvsEDG。

The repertoire, like the LCK, is a 'two-king showdown' in the spring and summer.

"How do I feel like EDG is stronger?"

Lee Jae-wan expressed his opinion: "I feel that they have more 'Shen Yun' from us, and they operate and play better." ”

"I also feel that I don't necessarily have to beat EDG in the RNG finals."

Lee Sang-hyuk nodded.

For EDG, his impression is a little deeper than RNG, speaking of which, this year's S competition, it is natural for them to play RNG, and even more so to play EDG, after all, there is MSI's 'one-arrow hatred'.

Think about it this way, combined with G2, H2K, which have been confirmed in the European region, TSM, CLG, etc. in the North American region...

They are really old friends, and they are much more lively than MSI, with three teams in each division, all of whom are the most well-known old faces.

"You can keep an eye on the Worlds because we've already secured a spot, but if it's just a second seed, I don't think it's in line with our quality."

"In the same way, the trophy of the summer championship, I think it can be engraved with the IDs of the six of you, you are the best, aren't you?"

Kkoma smiled and waved his hand, arrogant: "Guys, get ready, it's time for us to appear." ”

After a break from the bubble game, the opponent of the finals is determined at this moment, and the villain SKT is finally about to appear.

This time, to win the championship, fight for the No. 1 seed, and advance to S6, you must win.

August 20th.

Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium.

Coming to this familiar large-scale venue again, Chen Yiqiu was quite emotional.

Last time I came... It was the LCK Spring Finals half a year ago.

Unexpectedly, this year, they were able to walk into this venue twice.

The difference is that last time there was no one around him, but this time there was a group of blonde, blue-eyed, English-speaking foreigners.

- A personal documentary shooting team sent by Riot some time ago.

That's right, Chen Yiqiu was selected for this year's 2016 World Finals official documentary "Legend is Prosperous".

Starring in episode 6.

Many old viewers should be familiar with this documentary, the first season was released by S5 last year, 7 episodes per season, and the most legendary 5 players from various major regions around the world will be selected to do personal specials, and the remaining two episodes will be made into a collection-style group photo.

For example, the familiar sentence "I think, a team like Rox tigers, it is estimated that there will never be another one" and the classic scene of the factory director Sichuan dramatically changing his face, smiling one second and scolding Uzi for his 'pen' in the next second, are all from here.

Once released, word of mouth exploded.

Due to his legendary career and excellent performance at MSI this year, Chen Yiqiu was selected.

In addition to Chen Yiqiu, in the LCK division, his good brother, ROX top laner Smeb, was also selected to become the protagonist of episode 5.

In addition, the LPL division chose Xiaohu...

In short, it is a good experience, Chen Yiqiu has been following the photographer almost all the time during this time.

Their team even divided a group of people to go to China to shoot their 'dilemma' in LPL at the beginning of the year.

"It's a big star."

Wolf said so sourly more than once that Chen Yiqiu only had a watermelon in his left hand and a hot pot in his right hand to deal with him, and he was obedient.

"Oops, isn't this normal, super player Reaper, the future champion of S6, the owner of the Jace skin, legendary or not? A legend in full swing? I think it's well deserved! ”

Bae Jun-sik licked without a bottom line.

"Alright, let's get ready for the game."

Punching in and entering the venue, everyone adjusted the slightly subtle mood and mentality of the finals while waiting for the game to start.

I have to say that the finals are different from ordinary events, and the summer finals are related to the competition for the No. 1 seed in the S6 World Finals, and the atmosphere and mentality of the team are completely different, and there is faint blood burning.

In this way, half an hour later, the opening ceremony ended.

In the sound of tens of thousands of people shouting and tsunami at the scene, SKT people received the director's notice, put on their team uniforms, took their peripherals, and walked to the stage.

(End of chapter)
