Chapter 302 As long as the League of Legends still exists, SKT will always be the best team in the world
“Here, look, how it looks.”
October 5th.
Opening day of the 2017 Global Finals.
Wuhan, hotel.
Li Zaiwan twisted his fat butt and showed off his new team uniform.
SKT’s new team uniforms were actually produced as early as the summer split. The new design is very eye-catching and the overall color is bright red, but it is not as outdated as the old team uniforms.
It looks very conspicuous, especially when worn by people with fair skin.
For example, after Chen Yiqiu put it on and posted a Weibo update, it received 50,000+ comments and even made it to the Weibo hot search list.
So at this moment, Li Zaiwan was a little unable to hold himself tight, so he put it on to see the effect.
But...
It can only be said that appearance and figure determine everything, which is hard to say.
"Well...I feel okay."
Chen Yiqiu tried his best to speak in a tactful tone: "In comparison, I prefer the three stars embroidered on the chest of the new team uniform. Stars."
"...Yiqiu, you are really good at talking."
Next to him, Lee Sang Hyuk was slapping his lips and praising Chen Yiqiu's high emotional intelligence speech.
Anyway, after seeing what Li Zaiwan was wearing, he couldn't help but complain.
"Hehe..."
Li Zaiwan nodded with satisfaction, but also a little melancholy, and asked Kkoma: "Coach, why can't we wear the new uniforms from the beginning of the group stage? This uniform is better than the old one." The uniforms look much better . ”
“Don’t mess around. I specially asked the master to see it this time. The red color means that our team will always move forward bravely. This new uniform must also advance to the finals. Wear.”
Kkoma was like an old bastard, nagging: "If you wear it in advance, the effect will not be good."
"Oh, until now our great SKT dynasty won the four crowns on the day , put on a brand new red jersey, everyone, want to Think about it, what a wonderful scene it is, can you imagine? The whole world is cheering for us..."
"...I think the coach is very ill, it seems it is time to get married. ."
Chen Yiqiu turned to comment.
Little Peanut did not dare to speak, Pei Junzhi was in a state of wandering, Li Zaiwan was coy, and only Lee Sang Hyuk nodded: "He has been like this recently, he wants to win the fourth championship."
"You don't want to?"
"Nonsense, of course I want it too."
Li Sang Hyuk rolled his eyes.
“Let’s go our outstanding players, it’s time, come on for the first match today!”
At this time, a club staff came to inform, everyone packed up their things and set off for the bus .
In the end, Li Zaiwan did not dare to disobey Kkoma's wishes.
But in Chen Yiqiu's eyes, this red team uniform is far less glamorous than everyone seems to be looking at it at the moment.
One thing that he remembers very deeply in his mind is that SKT put on red clothes on the day of the S7 finals, climbed to the Bird's Nest, and then was defeated by Glory three to one, and the dynasty collapsed.
So, this thing looks unlucky, so I might as well not wear it first.
“The wait is finally here…”
At eight o'clock in the morning, everyone from SKT arrived at the Wuhan Sports Center.
At this moment, the top players from all major competition areas around the world are also arriving one after another. The Wuhan Sports Center is also full of people inside and outside. The square outside is full of teams selling support items and supporting fans.
There are also many photographers and Internet celebrity self-media shooting. Occasionally, they can catch star players who have not yet entered the venue. Various short interview videos are very lively, and the e-sports atmosphere is very strong.
“By the way, the S tournament held in your country is really lively.”
Under this situation, even Faker, who is used to seeing big winds and waves, couldn’t help but shake his head and admired One sentence.
"Well, in fact, China has always had the largest number of League of Legends players."
Chen Yiqiu nodded, everyone kept a low profile, mainly because they are so popular. Once exposed, it will probably affect the subsequent attendance of the audience.
So no one showed up, and hurriedly entered the venue from the backstage to check in, and then entered the lounge to prepare for the game.
SKT was placed in Group A this year.
The opponents in the same group are: EDG, AHQ, and C9.
Among them, EDG, as the No. 1 seed in this year's LPL division, was assigned to SKT's Group A, which once aroused great public response from the outside world.
Almost all LPL viewers and EDG fans are heartbroken. They feel that EDG is really having a bad time and has been assigned to the group of death.
——SKT’s group is now the group of death.
Since I am hell, that’s it.
Today, SKT’s first game will be against this year’s second seed AHQ, and EDG will be ranked tomorrow.
The annual event began. When everyone in SKT was resting in the lounge, they were inevitably "harassed". Old friends from the World Championship gathered together, including G2's Ah P and others, TSM's Bjergson and Big Brother, and even People from the LPL side took a look and found that the main focus is a global star.
It wasn’t until the opening ceremony began that everyone dispersed.
......
The opening ceremony of the 2017 Global Finals was very grand, especially the promotional video of the opening ceremony. Chen Yiqiu said on behalf of SKT, "As long as League of Legends still exists, SKT will be The world's strongest team" once detonated the scene.
The enthusiasm of the Wuhan Sports Center audience exceeded everyone's expectations. After appearing on the stage and returning backstage, Li Zaiwan was full of praise for the atmosphere and still had more to say.
"Oh, why are we just showing our faces? It would be nice if we could stay a few more minutes. I really want to hear them shout SKT a few more times."
"Why are you in a hurry? It will be natural when you play the game. Can shout."
Chen Yiqiu said with a smile: "It's better to prepare now. Although AHQ is not a strong team, it cannot be underestimated.”
He is actually a little worried about the state of the team at the moment. SKT in the S7 World Championship is far from invincible, and he doesn’t know. On this long-awaited trip to the top of the Bird's Nest, there will be accidents and twists and turns along the way.
Hope everything goes well.
"RNG is on the field..."
At 3:30 in the afternoon, RNG, as the home representative, was well deserved to be scheduled for the first game of the S7 opener, against FB.
Needless to say, the result is that if RNG can't even beat FB, then it can really kill them with a piece of tofu.
The official specially assigned the weakest opponent to RNG. What they want is a good start and a good start.
Half an hour later, RNG lived up to expectations and defeated FB. After the second game, it was finally the first showdown of S7 in Group A.
Everyone in SKT sorted out their things and stepped onto the stage.
......
"Welcome back, this is the scene of the 2017 Global Finals, Wuhan, China. Hello everyone, I am Zeyuan."
"I remember .”
“Hello, I’m Rita”
"So after the previous two exciting duels, now comes the third match of today's group stage, which is also the first round match of Group A this year."
Guan Zeyuan and the other three appeared in front of the camera with smiles, Familiar court control: "I believe everyone is looking forward to SKT's first game in this year's S Championship."
"Yes, AHQ feels there is quite a lot of pressure. First We met SKT in the first game. "I remember feeling sad: "I hope AHQ can adjust its condition and give us a wonderful game today."
"To be honest. , judging from paper strength, SKT is undoubtedly the dominant side, but in e-sports, we cannot just look at paper strength, performance in the field is also a top priority..."
Guan Zeyuan spoke up for his good brother, and then he cheered up: "Then the players from the two teams in front are ready, let's enter the third match today, SKT vs AHQ!"
Words After landing, the director camera switches and comes to the BP interface.
In the first game of the S7 World Championship, SKT is on the blue side and AHQ is on the red side.
As soon as they came up, both sides eliminated Lulu and Feng Nu respectively, and then SKT added Policewoman and Dashu.
AHQ banned Jace + Spear of Revenge.
The banners on both sides generally tended to be more meta-oriented, and also targeted the opponent's strong points.
Because there are too few ban positions and they are on the red side, AHQ can only target Jayce in the first hand, which is considered their best effort.
"In this case, Lulu Fengnu is gone, then Fan Mom and Braun are actually good choices."
"Well... In addition, in this game, AHQ is on the red side. , released a lot of top laners, I feel like Reaper should be very happy now, he hasn’t been this comfortable for a long time, right?”
The director’s camera happened to show Chen Yiqiu, and he did have a smile on his face, which caused bursts of laughter in the audience. scream.
Then... SKT immediately locked up Qinggang Ying.
"Wow..."
"Qinggangying, it was locked instantly!"
"It's started, it's started, Reaper is very comfortable now!"
There was an uproar at the end of the court, and Guan Zeyuan made a joke.
In fact, Qinggang Shadow is not popular in the top lane in this version, and the appearance rate is very low. However, heroes also depend on the players. It is normal for everyone to get Qinggang Shadow with the ID of Reaper. It also deserves everyone’s cheers and applause.
“When I hold this Qinggang Shadow, I feel like AHQ’s scalp is numb now.”
Rita’s tone fluctuated and she looked at the big screen.
In the AHQ team, the moment top laner Ziv saw the opponent locking Qinggang Ying, his facial features twitched and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing the hero's avatar and ID, he was already scared.
"Cheer up, buddy!"
The teammates next to him were a little speechless for a moment when they saw that this guy's mental quality was such a stretch.
"...It's not that I don't want to cheer up, it's just that it's really hard to play. I feel like it's not fun to choose anything now. How about having fun on the road? There's no way I can do anything."
Ziv spread his hands.
Before the start of the S7 World Championship, in order to let outstanding players from all over the world feel the local enthusiasm, the official specially promoted the top of the canyon to the official training uniform.
Therefore, players from various major competition areas have actually played against each other many times during this period.
Ziv, the top laner in AHQ, met Chen Yiqiu several times. The process and results were very tragic, and he was almost mentally scarred.
Now when we meet him in the main match, he has already begun to suffocate in advance.
"How can we win with you like this!"
Mid laner Westdoor angrily said: "Seeing that his ID has withered first, why are you still playing a career like this!"
"Don't talk about me, he's the same as me when you meet him!"
"Isn't my opponent strong? Faker!! Do you understand the value of the great devil Faker?"
>"Then let's switch. I'm actually okay in the middle..."
"No switch."
Everyone: "?"
"Okay, okay, the Twisted Dryad is gone, isn't there still Void Fear? This is okay. If the opponent doesn't choose, you can take it. If you stabilize the opponent, there is nothing you can do. This is version T1."
"Okay, then I'll take Void Fear."
Ziv gritted his teeth and nodded.
The stability of Big Bug is very outstanding in this version, and the most important thing is that it is easy to mix.
Jace might be a little uncomfortable when he meets Reaper, but Qinggang Shadow shouldn't be as hard to beat as imagined.
When AHQ picked the big bug, they also got the jungle prince.
"Big Chongzi and Prince are both heroes with very strong versions, so there is no big problem... For Big Chongzi, the pressure on the top lane should be less."
From the outside, everyone saw this from AHQ Both selections were also given positive approval.
In the SKT team, AHQ’s choice was not surprising.
“Go ahead and get the blind monk for Wanghu, and then get the clockwork for Xianghe.”
Kkoma holds a small notebook behind him and directs people to pick up people.
They have actually done a lot of preparation and BP during this period. This is also the norm for teams participating in the S competition, so the selection of players by both sides is not slow.
Soon, the lineups of both sides were completely settled, as follows:
Blue side SKT: top laner Qinggangying, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane Wheel Mom +Bron.
Red side AHQ: top laner Big Bug, jungler Prince, mid laner Syndra, bottom laner Xia + Luo.
The lineups of both sides are determined and the game is loaded.
“AHQ’s choice of Xia Luo was great. I didn’t expect SKT to release it. They chose Braum. In this case, there shouldn’t be too many sparks in the early matchup between the two sides. It mainly depends on the performance in team battles in the mid-to-late stage.”
The game started, and both sides gathered for vision after entering the game, Guan Zeyuan analyzed this.
AHQ's lineup is actually a bit more fierce than SKT in general. Except for the top laner Big Bug, their lineup has very strong combat capabilities in the mid-term.
On the contrary, SKT, who was expected to continue its domineering style, won the Clockwork + Wheel Mom in this game, a pair of double Cs that takes a long time to develop before they can stand on the stage.
Of course, the early rhythm will naturally be left to Chen Yiqiu and Xiaohuahua.
“So it can be seen from here that the current SKT relies heavily on the performance of top laner Chen Sheng... How should I put it, I wonder if you have noticed a detail.”
Guan Zeyuan is Those who pay a lot of attention to SKT, or in other words, every LPL commentator pays a lot of attention to SKT now because of Chen Yiqiu's existence.
“SKT has actually shown this recently, including in the summer finals. Although SKT used to attach great importance to the top lane, it definitely didn’t have the all-or-nothing feeling it does now.”
“From the side, this may be a change in tactics, but it is also true that the status of several other lines of SKT has fluctuated greatly.”
"So this year's SKT may not be absolutely invincible... Let's see, both sides are online normally, Qinggang Shadow... Qinggang Shadow has been squatted!"
Guan Zeyuan's voice suddenly rose.
But it was at the upper river on the field, before the lines of troops came into contact, that Chen Yiqiu was suddenly squatted by AHQ Ueno who had already planned it.
This was really premeditated. AHQ had obviously been waiting for this target for a long time. After Qinggangying was caught, he was knocked away by a big bug and was left in place.
“AHQ!! A very smart wave of crouching people. This wave of Reapers was knocked away and cannot escape!”
"Wow... This is really a bit unexpected. AHQ is obviously well prepared. Once the Qinggang Shadow dies, the big bug on the road will have an easier time."
