Chen Yiqiu took out his mobile phone and took a look. Sure enough, the situation on IG was similar. There were already photos online, and many fans chose to go to the scene with IG's bus.
Suddenly, Little Peanut pointed at the back of the car and shouted: "Look, what are they doing? Are they following us on purpose?"
Chen Yiqiu looked back and found the bus There were dozens of cars lined up behind, and more and more, and each car had the TOP team logo on it.
Don’t mention it, it’s quite impressive, if dozens of cars drive together.
Chen Wei was dumbfounded: "I have never seen such a scene before."
Little Peanut muttered: "I've never seen this in so many years of playing in the LCK. You LPL fans still know how to play."
But the good times didn't last long. Everyone was following them to the scene. Suddenly, several cars roared. Flute traffic police motorcycle Tuo appeared and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Go! Don't block the road. Go quickly!"
Then the huge convoy was blown away. It won't work if we don't disperse. It will happen when the time comes. Cause traffic jams and even cause traffic accidents.
Although it didn't work out in the end, the scene was already very grand. Someone posted the video on the Internet, causing heated discussions:
[Is the LPL so active now? 】
[To be honest, I really like this e-sports atmosphere. 】
【This is competition, it should be exciting! 】
【Wow! Not going to the LPL to watch the game is really a big regret in my life. 】
So, fans accidentally made an advertisement for LPL.
At this time, in Ponytail's office at Fujii's headquarters, Ponytail was paying close attention to the game.
"Report the situation." Ponytail picked up the coffee from the table and took a sip.
"Now the LPL search index is skyrocketing, and it is close to 90% of last year's spring finals."
Hearing this, Ponytail was shaken and returned to 90%!
This is very good news. It will surpass the previous popularity and is just around the corner.
“At the same time, the number of overseas attention has skyrocketed, exceeding the attention of last year’s spring finals by 300%.”
"More than 300%?" This is something Ponytail didn't expect. If taken together, wouldn't it be more popular than last year?
But if you think about it carefully, Taobo's current midfielder and upper jungler are "world-class players" and have received a lot of attention around the world, far exceeding others in the LPL.
So now that they are playing in the LPL spring finals, they will definitely attract the attention of many overseas audiences.
Looking at it this way, the most dangerous stage of LPL has passed, and the process of falling from S7 and getting up has been realized.
Success is also Chen Yiqiu, and failure is also Chen Yiqiu.
S7 lost to Chen Yiqiu, which caused the LPL to sink. Now it is relying on Chen Yiqiu to revive the LPL. The next step is to create new highs, and it still depends on Chen Yiqiu.
On the other side, everyone in Taobo had arrived at the competition site. They entered the lounge and put down their things. Chen Yiqiu found a place to sit down and rest.
Coach Hongmi said: "I believe this year's game will be more intense and it will be the biggest challenge we encounter this season. Although we have played against IG before, there is a big gap between IG at that time and now. ”
“Of course, with With our current strength, there is no need to be afraid of them. I just hope that you don’t take it lightly and take it seriously.”
Little Peanut responded: “Coach, don’t worry, we are ready to let them come.” Go! ”
Lee Sang Hyuk joked: "It seems that someone was almost fooled yesterday and leaked our tactics."
Hearing this, everyone in Taobo couldn't help laughing. The incident about Little Peanut had been posted online by netizens in the live broadcast room at the time. Now everyone knows that Little Peanut almost fell into the trap of online dating.
"This kind of thing...please forget about it, thank you!" Little Peanut bowed to everyone. It seemed that he was really embarrassed.
On the other side, in the commentary box, Wawa, Miller, and Guan Zeyuan were ready.
I saw the baby trying to ask: "Brother Guan, which side are you going to support today and which side are you optimistic about?"
Guan Zeyuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I feel that there is a chance if it is 50-50."
Miller asked: "50-50? There is still a difference, Brother Guan, don't be restrained. , if you want to support, just say so."
Guan Zeyuan made a decisive choice: " I think IG is quite strong now. Their top laner may have a fight with Chen Sheng. Their bottom lane is stronger than Taobo, and their jungler is worthy.”
Hearing this, Wawa and Miller nodded. They looked at each other and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus through eye contact.
Seeing that the two of them were not talking, Guan Zeyuan asked: "Then which side do you support?"
Miller touched his neck and seemed very hesitant: "We... feel that Taobo is better."
The doll echoed: "My opinion is similar to Miller's, I choose Taobo."
Guan Zeyuan smiled: "Then you must have made a mistake today, IG will definitely win."
However, Wawa and Miller also laughed, and Guan Zeyuan became more determined If you support IG, the two of them will be more certain that Taobo can win.
At this moment, the director reminded: "The live broadcast will start soon, please commentate and be prepared."
So the three of them put away their playful smiles and looked at the camera together.
At this time, the popularity in the LPL official live broadcast room has exceeded 300 million, and five sub-rooms have been opened for diversion.
The audience started commenting on the barrage:
[It’s so lively, are there any friends from the United States? 】
【Friends from the island country come here. 】
【LCK fans gather! 】
【This is the European support group! 】
Unlike previous LPL finals, this time the number of overseas viewers in the finals was unusually large.
They even formed a viewing group and had crazy discussions in the group.
Of course they came here for the three people from Tobo, Naka and Ueno.
After the host made a simple opening statement, he said: "Now, let us welcome the contestants from both sides with the warmest applause!"
The audience who had been waiting for a long time became restless:
"Taobo! Tao Bo! Tao Bo! "
"Reaper! Reaper!"
"Jackeylove, I'm going to give you a monkey!"
Chen Yiqiu brought everyone to the field, and the scene reached its climax again. Apart from cheers, no other sounds could be heard.
Taobo's five players lined up, and everyone's data appeared on the screen. Starting from Chen Yiqiu, top laner, jungler, mid laner, ADC and finally support.
Wawa explained: "This season, Chen Sheng has obtained the terrifying data of 38% of the average output per game. This is not a very strong version of the top laner. This kind of data can only be described as terrifying. "
Miller answered: "Yes, and you must know that Chen Sheng's teammates are "Little Peanut, Faker, it's not easy for him to have such a high output ratio," Guan Zeyuan explained: "But having said that, the result of the high output ratio of the middle and top junglers is that the bottom lane output ratio is very low. Lu has the lowest output ratio among all teams entering the playoffs.”
Immediately afterwards, under the welcome of the host, the first five people from IG appeared on the stage!
The leader is none other than Theshy!
The IG fans on site also worked very hard and cheered crazily.
The data of the five IG people appeared on the big screen.
Wawa immediately laughed when he saw it: "IG is a very unique team. They have a lot of heads and deaths. The number of heads can be compared with Taobo. At the same time, the number of deaths can be compared with the last few teams."
< br>“It feels like they are the kind of people who don’t care about life or death. Besides, it’s the kind of team that just wants to have a good time.”
Miller continued: “It’s a bit loose to say that. After all, they have been winning, and they only lost to Taobo, and that was before. Even when they are not in full form, their playing style is indeed pretty rough. Even if it is an advantage, it will often send one or two waves."
Guan Zeyuan explained: "I personally feel that IG's gameplay is to train the personal abilities of the players. Think about it, if the game is normal, The advantage then snowballed, and it was easy with their abilities. You can win it.”
“It’s not fun to win the game if it’s too easy, right? Send one or two waves to send the opponent up to increase the difficulty. Under this kind of training, the IG players’ His personal ability exceeds that of Tao Bo.”
Hearing this, Wawa and Miller no longer knew how to respond. At first, they thought the colonel was backtracking and joking.
However, the serious expression on Colonel Guan’s face indicated that he really thought so, which would be a bit troublesome. Wawa and Miller did not think so.
In the official live broadcast room, IG fans have begun to tease on the barrage:
[Something’s wrong, brothers, the senior colonel seems to be supporting us today, so aren’t we in danger? 】
【Ah? Support us? Why? Go support Taobo. 】
[Who wants his support? Isn't this a scam? 】
【Colonel Guan, you'd better be more conscious and support Taobo, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. 】
【The game hasn’t even started yet, but the IG team members’ keyboards are already leaking milk. Who can withstand this? 】
The doll commentator said: "Okay, now that the players on both sides have debugged the equipment, let's start the BP for the first game. In this game, Taobo is on the red side and IG is on the blue side. Fang."
"BAN people, IG chose to target the bottom lane. BAN dropped Xayah, Varus and EZ, which was very targeted. Three BANADC, but Kai'Sa was released. This is a bit strange, because in the previous semi-finals with RW, Gala's Kai'Sa performed very well. Not bad.”
Miller then said: "I guess IG has a way to deal with it, while Taobo is targeting the jungle and mid lane positions. BAN dropped Zach, Enchantress and Mantis."
"Enter In the hero selection stage, Chen Sheng’s heroes are now released. Of course, Theshy’s hero pool is not restricted. Don’t tell me. , their hero pools are very similar, and I feel quite comfortable now.”
Guan Zeyuan explained: “IG helped Ning grab the prince on the first floor, and then it was Taobo’s turn. The first and second floors locked up Pig Girl and Niu Tou.”
Following that, IG locked in Jace and Thresh on the second and third floors.
After Jess was selected, the IG fans at the scene were already excited:
"Here we go, Jess from IG. He's swaying in the middle and up. I'm asking you if you're afraid!"
"The other person is probably dizzy. Where is this Jess playing? I don't understand, hahaha. ! ”
“Rookie’s Jace and Shy’s Jace are both unique. There is at least one lane to explode in the middle and upper lanes of the opponent. Exploded."
"Unexpectedly, IG is already playing swing."
In the commentary box, the doll explained: "IG played this routine in the spring game and directly showed Lucian. Whichever road is easier to fight, the middle road or the top road, he will take that road and confuse the opponent.”
Miller agreed: "Indeed, there are not many teams that can flexibly swing in the middle and upper levels. The requirements for players are too high, and only teams like IG can play it."
At this moment, Taobo made a choice, and Taobo locked Lucian and Kaisha on the third and fourth floors!
Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "If Kai'Sa and Lucian think together, it proves that Lucian must go to the middle and top. In this version, Lucian's going to the bottom lane is not good. Taobo plans to follow suit. "
Miller: "Don't tell me yet, Chen Sheng and Da Mo Wang can indeed play Lucian, so now the two sides have entered a state where you shake and I shake, and it depends on who can catch the opponent's lane."
It was IG's turn to choose, and the director gave it to everyone on IG. A close-up, at this time coach Kim Jung-soo is saying something quickly, it seems that BP is a little stuck.
In the official live broadcast room, the barrage is already boiling:
【You like to swing, right? Make it look like no one can do it. 】
【In terms of personal ability, Taobo has not surpassed anyone yet. 】
【No, why do some people think that Taobo is afraid of a so-called swing when he has the world's No. 1 mid-level ranking? 】
【Let’s sway together and see who suffers in the end. 】
[That’s almost it. Don’t cry when you get beaten up by IG online later. 】
Before the game even started, fans from both sides were already fighting fiercely on the barrage, each refusing to give in.
At this moment, IG got Draven and Snake on the fourth and fifth floors.
After the two heroes locked up, the IG fans at the scene became excited:
"Jackeylove's Draven, everyone knows it."
"Why do I feel that all three ways of Taobo are going to be destroyed? IG has no way to survive."
"It's almost done. Who is going to destroy whom?"
"IG's The battle to establish power!”
“Rookie’s snake girls are all out, they are very confident, and they are suppressing the three lines.”
On Taobo’s side, seeing the opposite bottom lane combination, Chen Wei is already feeling the pressure.
Liu Qingsong comforted him: "It's okay, we can just grow online. You are better than Draven in team play."
Chen Wei nodded, but he was still nervous.
Li Sang Hyuk asked: "Should you use Lucian or should I use it?"
Chen Yiqiu asked back: "How about you Lucian fighting the snake girl? Can you use it to your advantage?"
Li Sang Hyuk responded: "It's just so so. Lucian has been weakened a lot now and is not as strong as before."
Chen Yiqiu then made a choice: "Then you choose another one, Lucian for me."
"Give me a clockwork."
So Taobo locked the clockwork on the fifth floor!
The doll commentator said: "Since it's clockwork, Lucian will be on the road, but it's hard to say the lineup of both sides now, maybe it can still swing."
The time is ticking by. As time went by, everyone was staring at the big screen, wanting to see whether the two sides would continue to play the same routine.
The time has come to the last twenty seconds, and you can no longer change heroes after entering twenty seconds.
Just when everyone thought the lineup was determined, IG swapped Jace and Snake Girl. Jace went to the middle and Snake Girl was on the top lane!
The lineup was finally determined:
Red Fang Taobo: Top laner Lucian, playing Wild Boar Girl, mid laner Clockwork, ADC Kai'Sa, assist Niutou.
Blue square IG: top laner Snake, jungler Prince, mid laner Jayce, ADC Draven, and assistant Thresh. (End of chapter)
