Chapter 287 It’s fantasy time! SKTvsRNG, critical review: Good guy, professional counterpart
"...Yiqiu, don't you respond to this?"
Today's SKT are all old Chinese and can understand most of them Chinese, so it’s heartbreaking to hear the audience around me cry so miserably and the young lady’s screams.
For a moment, they all forgot their own positions and looked at Chen Yiqiu one by one.
When Chen Yiqiu heard these words, he was actually very confused. If LPL lost, he would lose. How could he still have anything to do with me?
It’s not right for me to win in the LPL, and it’s also wrong for the LPL to lose.
Thinking like this, he can understand the mood and feelings of ordinary viewers.
After all, the behavior in the competition area has nothing to do with ordinary water fans. On the contrary, as a player who has played in the LPL and has experienced it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the LPL audience. The audiences who like him have the same status in his heart.
It’s hard to talk about such a sensitive topic. He could only wave to the crowd: "It will get better later. Come on LPL."
"You all go back too. Rest, it’s not safe to go out at night.”
Crash.
“…!”
After saying these words, he had already stepped onto the bus, and the subsequent sounds could no longer be heard.
But you can feel the touching and excited mood of the LPL audience at the scene.
“Yiqiu, do you really think LPL can advance to the finals?”
Li Zaiwan asked from the side.
"Yes."
Chen Yiqiu nodded and said: "According to the strength of the LPL, it would be strange that they couldn't advance."
"I think so."
< br>The little peanut next to him nodded.
……
At the same time.
Chen Yiqiu did not guess wrong about the reaction of the LPL audience.
Not only did they express their excitement at the scene, but when the SKT team returned to the hotel one after another, the topic about him comforting the LPL audience outside the venue after the game also appeared in the Tieba forum that was originally filled with abuse. .
More videos taken by the parties involved on their mobile phones were uploaded.
Suddenly, the heat exploded.
【Crying, Chen Sheng is always so gentle. 】
【Come back, my Chen Sheng. 】
【This year’s new driver, I always hated Reaper. I felt that he did not return to China for the sake of performance and honor. But after getting to know him, I realized how wronged Chen Sheng was. I saw this video today... I have nothing to say, no matter what. On and off the court, he is the number one god! 】
【Those LPL teams and officials, look over here, take a look at their Reaper layout, and then take a look at yours. 】
[One thing to say, seeing the collective sudden death of LPL today, for a moment, I imagined how great it would be if Chen Sheng was still in LPL. Do the top laners from outside the competition region still dare to be so arrogant? 】
【Now is the fantasy time! 】
【That’s right, I’m talking about Letme, Sunset, and Aguang, these losers! 】
【——LPL has never been a top lane desert because of the existence of Reaper. 】
【From today on, I will become a die-hard fan of Reaper, go away! 】
[…]
The crowd is excited. LPL’s performance on the second match day of the Asian Competition was so bad that many viewers have begun to fantasize about Chen Yiqiu’s return and have given up their previous criticism of Reaper. .
In fact, after such a long time, many old viewers understand that the existence of Reaper has become the last fig leaf in the LPL division in a sense.
——Although he is not in the LPL competition area, he is Chinese, and this can never be changed.
So even if the LPL is really ruined, as long as Reaper still maintains its halo, the outside world will not dare to look down upon the LPL too much.
...
“It’s really funny to let an “outsider” help us save face when the game reaches this level.”
That night, the hotel, the LPL training room.
No one went to rest and sleep. Today's four-game defeat has deeply hurt everyone. Even the players who have no sense of the honor of the division cannot accept such an outrageous Waterloo in their division. score.
Through the public opinion on the Internet, when everyone saw that all LPL viewers were "praying" to Reaper, the feeling of being humiliated became even more serious.
It was like being cheated on in person, and that feeling made everyone feel angry.
"Chen Yiqiu is Chinese, but he is also an LCK player. He plays for the LCK division, SKT, not any of our LPL teams."
Jin Yibo violated the rules tonight and appeared in Entering the big training room, he looked around everyone and said loudly: "So, our failure is a foil to As an "outsider", don't you have anything to reflect on?"
"The efforts of all of us for this intercontinental competition are obvious to all. I know that you cannot accept the current situation. , so, do you have any opinions about extra training tonight?”
“No!”
Everyone in LPL answered neatly.
"Okay."
Jin Yibo looked at everyone: "In this semi-final, LMS must be eliminated. If we fail, then...our years of hard work and investment will be in vain, more like It’s a joke.”
After saying that, Jin Yibo didn’t stay any longer. It was a bit illegal for him, an official boss, to come here in person, so he still tried to avoid it.
And what he said was not alarmist.
Since the establishment of LPL, how much money and energy has been invested in its development over the years? In the end, if he couldn't even beat a provincial division, it would be a shame. If nothing else, Jin Yibo would have to commit suicide on the spot to apologize.
Other teams and players participating in the battle will not have good results either.
So, there was no sleep in the LPL training room that night.
……
The next day.
The date of the Asian Tournament semi-finals.
SKT and LCK have no schedule today. They chose to watch today’s semifinals in the hotel.
It is not impossible to go to the scene, but the coaching staff needs to record in real time the respective advantages and disadvantages of the two major competition areas and the various highlights of today's game. After all, it is not as convenient as being in the hotel's large training room at the scene.
After a short opening ceremony, the first game of BO5 started quickly.
It was not until the eve of the game that the two major regions officially reported their first teams.
EDG vs AAHQ.
This was a highly anticipated game before the game.
After all, AHQ has always claimed to be EDG's biological son.
However, EDG's performance was not satisfactory. It was good in the early stage, but when it came to the team battle, AHQ gained the advantage several times, which made EDG more difficult to fight in the later stage.
EDG's new top laner Audi performed well and fully inherited the excellent qualities of the factory director. The two of them combined, Audi double diamonds, factory partners, focusing on who can run better.
The game was fiercely fought until the early 60th minute, but EDG suffered an upset loss to AHQ.
LMS took the lead in the BO5 and got off to a good start. The LMS fans in Kaohsiung went crazy.
In contrast, the LPL audience has completely broken through. "Brother, are you still optimistic about LPL?"
In the hotel.
Little Peanut was sitting next to Chen Yiqiu. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask.
"Well, EDG is not in good condition today."
Chen Yiqiu nodded.
In the semi-finals of the 2017 Intercontinental Championship, the state of the LPL division has actually been not very good. It should be related to the tight schedule. After all, the sequelae of yesterday's consecutive defeats are too great and cannot be eliminated by simply disappearing.
“Let’s watch the next show.”
The second race of Tian Ji’s horse racing, OMG vs FW.
This game was called a heavyweight game by the audience, but in fact, when the LPL division sent OMG to play, they were already determined to exchange weakness for strength.
FW is a frequent player in the world. OMG, a team that has not advanced to the S competition in several years, is the weakest player in the LPL division this year.
It is actually very worthwhile to trade him for the death of FW.
At the end of the second game, LPL was 0/2 behind LMS. The scene could no longer be called crazy. Even Chen Yiqiu's eyes were twitching.
This scene was too explosive and the fault tolerance rate was too low. If the remaining LPL teams do not perform well in the future, it may directly ruin the reputation of the entire division.
Fortunately, both RNG and WE did not disappoint. The two big and small kings who ranked among the top two in the LPL this year finally broke out their due strength in desperate situations and defeated M17 and FW respectively.
The two sides were tied two to two. In the end, the LPL sent WE, who were in the best condition today, and the LMS sent the Flash Wolves to the final battle.
This game was also very tense. In the later stage, the head ratio between the two sides was less than two points, but in terms of economy, WE was more dominant. After a wave of team battles in the late stage, it led FW by 9,000 in economy. , and finally, amid the hoarse shouts of all LPL viewers, FW’s crystal base was bulldozed.
Advancing to the finals three to two, LPL survived this hurdle.
"Axi, it's so hard to watch."
KT's veteran captain, who witnessed the whole game today, sighed, tutted and shook his head.
"Okay, LPL is playing very well. Yiqiu is indeed right."
Little Peanut watched with great interest, because this kind of back and forth The game actually seems to be more enjoyable to watch, especially at the moment when the important finals spots are at stake, you will really be subconsciously worried for the players on the field.
"Then our opponent is confirmed... to be the LPL. This is similar to our previous prediction. Everyone, cheer up and prepare for the decisive battle."
Coach KT clapped his hands, and everyone stood up and prepared for training.
The coaching staff must find a good Tian Ji horse racing plan in a short period of time.
This is also the most interesting part of the intercontinental competition. If the tactics are good, even if the strength is slightly inferior, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Only a few people from Kkoma remained in SKT, while Chen Yiqiu and others returned to the room to start training.
At the same time.
Kaohsiung scene.
After finally advancing to the finals, everyone in the LPL breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they also started to throw smoke bombs at the media and the outside world.
The so-called smoke bomb is to cooperate with the coaching staff and engage in psychological warfare with the LCK first.
For example, when being interviewed, the director of EDG said bluntly: "We hope that the finals can be arranged to play SKT. We really want revenge."
RNG's Uzi said : "We also really want to meet SKT, and we also want to play against Reaper in the bottom lane again."
The other two teams that did not meet SKT in the group stage also made similar remarks.
In short, it means one thing - you have to think clearly about LCK. We all want to play SKT. We have to think about how to arrange SKT, so that we don't let OMG run into us in the end.
In this regard, the LCK side did not express much opinion, because in their view, the LCK is indeed too strong this year. Not only SKT, but KT is also an almost invincible team against the LPL.
“We will fight against ourselves. As long as we keep SKT and KT tomorrow, we will be basically stable.”
……
"Is this really okay?"
"Our most feasible way of playing is actually to let OMG beat SKT, but KT is also a problem. Can RNG beat KT?"
LPL Big training room.
After everyone from the LPL came back, they didn’t even have time to celebrate, so they devoted themselves to planning for tomorrow’s finals.
As for saying that everyone wants to meet SKT... Are you kidding, only the devil wants to meet SKT!
That confuses the opponent. In fact, for tomorrow's LPL, the best plan is for OMG to play SKT.
As the saying goes, scapegoating the baby OMG, although it is very sad, I can’t find a reason to refute it.
"We... don't know, it all depends on the situation that day."
Brother Feng showed some hesitation.
“…Anyway, it’s a two-way game. If OMG can’t meet SKT, then EDG. If WE and RNG meet, then…let’s try not to have any regrets.”
The cards in your hand are always limited. There are two king bombs on the opposite side, and you can barely count as one and a half king bombs. No matter how you calculate, there is still something missing.
But it doesn’t matter. LPL is actually not afraid of playing this kind of psychological warfare.
In this way, the two major divisions were secretly speculating on their opponents' lineup for tomorrow. Time passed by and finally it was the opening day of the finals.
After the grand opening ceremony, the first BO5 game of the finals began.
In today's first battle, the LPL sent EDG first, while the LCK sent Samsung.
Regarding this combination, everyone was a little nervous before the game, but the LPL side was extremely excited.
Because according to their predictions and training match results during this period, EDG can definitely beat three stars. In addition to three stars, it is MVP. In short, as long as they meet these two teams, EDG will be considered a winner today. accomplished their mission.
And the facts are as expected. EDG in this game is completely different from EDG in the previous group stage and semi-finals. The director is a fierce gank, and Zet is not crotchless in team battles. In the end, the only words left in the entire venue were Miller's words "Kill the ruler, kill the ruler."
EDG "upset" won SSG, and LPL actually won by one point first.
In the second game, the LPL unexpectedly sent out OMG, while the LCK sent out KT, one of the strongest teams in the region and the best at playing LPL.
Now even the audience couldn't hold back.
Exchanging OMG for SKT is an excellent solution, but if you can replace KT, that’s okay too!
It can be said that everyone in OMG lost this game with a smile. This was also the easiest game they lost in the intercontinental competition this year.
The two sides drew one to one, but at this time, one of the LCK aces had been replaced, and only MVP and SKT were left.
The LPL side has two aces, WE and RNG.
In the worst possible outcome, both sides can play the entire BO5.
Kkoma has already begun to suggest in the background that SKT should come to the third game. No matter what, it is always dangerous to let the opponent lead by two points.
But the intercontinental competition is not a team competition, but an entire competition region. After several other coaching teams listened and discussed, they could not make up their minds for a long time between MVP and SKT.
In the end, it seemed that due to the butterfly effect, LCK finally decided to send SKT, the strongest big brother in the division, to the field.
The LPL side sent out RNG.
When the two team logos appeared on the big screen, the entire venue was in a state of excitement.
——LPL: "It's over, I'm going to be suppressed by SKT for the rest of my life."
——LCK: "Good guy, professional counterpart."
