The next day, the quarterfinals continued, with AFS facing off against RNG.
This game is related to TES’ opponent in the semi-finals, so everyone at TES chose to gather together to watch the game.
I saw Hongmi saying: "Although we have played against these two teams before and won both, I still hope everyone can take it seriously. After all, all teams are making progress, and we cannot let down our vigilance. . ”
Players from both sides appeared, and everyone in RNG seemed to be in bad shape, especially Letme.
Little Peanut joked: "Have Letme been scolded? You guys look like this, like a child who feels aggrieved after being scolded."
Chen Wei muttered: "It looks like this, probably because he didn't learn anything from us."
Little Peanut smiled: "Is learning something so simple? If If it’s that simple, then everyone can learn it and become invincible.”
The players from both sides took their seats and the game began. Just as everyone thought, RNG played the same thing as before. They continued to resist pressure on the top lane and stayed down. Road to fight.
But AFS is different. They chose to engage in RNG mid lane and bottom lane instead of choosing to break through on the top lane.
In the first game, UZI played Lucian, who was more flexible and had strong laning ability, destroying the AFS bottom lane.
Although AFS has been targeting the bottom lane, it is of no use. Mlxg has been counter squatting in the bottom lane.
After winning the first game, everyone in RNG was smiling and their mentality was much better.
Letme laughed, proving that they really had no pressure.
Little Peanut muttered: "We won't let them gain confidence, what if they sweep AFS 3-0, transform, and kill us in the semi-finals..."
Chen Yiqiu smiled Li: "It's not that simple, AFS is not easy to bully."
Immediately afterwards, the second game began. This time RNG continued Lucian in the bottom lane.
However, this time, AFS took out Dao Mei in the middle, which was very strong in the lane, and cooperated with the jungle to suppress the RNG middle and jungle.
Then we targeted the bottom lane again. This time, there was no anti-crouching by Mlxg, and RNG failed to withstand the bottom lane.
AFS took off from the bottom lane and won the second game.
Lee Sang Hyuk commented: "AFS midfielder plays very well, we may need to pay attention to this."
Little Peanut was very confident: "It's okay, Brother Xianghe, our combination is definitely better than them."
In the third game, UZI showed off his unique skill Kai'Sa, and the audience cheered.
From the beginning of the laning phase, UZI has been very strong.
Coupled with the support of the little tiger Lissandra in the middle, the bottom lane quickly achieved a breakthrough, and the game ended in more than 20 minutes, with a score of two to one.
Liu Qingsong analyzed: "RNG's midfielder and bottom lane are now cooperating better and better. Letme in the top lane is basically a marginal player. No one cares about him, as long as he can hold the opponent back."
Chen Yiqiu agreed: "Yes, the pressure of the AFS top laner is completely different from that of Letme. The AFS top laner needs to consider supporting his teammates and roaming. Letme only needs to focus on laning. This should be the task assigned to him by RNG."< br>
In the fourth game, AFS played a trick and suddenly took out Sword Demon in the middle to face Xiaohu's Ryze.
And Ryze, who originally looked like a mid laner, was switched to the top lane to face Poppy.
Redmi took it seriously: "Swinging in the middle? This seems to be the first time AFS has played this way. It seems that it is at the last moment and must be taken out."
Little Peanut answered. : "I feel that this RNG is not easy to play. It should be very difficult for Galio to face the Sword Demon. It will also be uncomfortable for Poppy to fight Ryze on the top lane. At most, it will develop peacefully."
Sure enough, just as everyone at TES thought, RNG was defeated in this game.
From the laning stage onwards, the team completely collapsed and was completely unbeatable. In the end, it was difficult to get a kill and avoid being shaved off. It was already so miserable.
The game was dragged into the fifth game. At this time, the faces of everyone in RNG were ugly, and they were not as calm and calm as before.
Looking at AFS, they are facing a headwind, and they are getting better and better as they fight.
Lee Sang Hyuk commented: "Now for RNG, we need to stabilize our mentality. If there is a problem with our mentality at this time, it is very likely to collapse directly."
In the fifth game, players from both sides appeared on the stage and war songs sounded.
In this AFS mid laner, Chen Yiqiu suddenly felt a little familiar when he took out Enchantress.
Will RNG lose this game? Could it be said that they escaped the curse of G2, but will it happen again to AFS in the end? It turns out that the problem is not G2's, but RNG's own.
Chen Yiqiu's idea soon came to fruition. RNG performed very poorly in this game, especially UZI, which was beaten by the opponent in various ways.
Let the little tiger in the middle send the opposite enchantress up.
So, UZI, who was in very poor condition, met a enchantress with advanced development. The scene was too beautiful to watch.
In the end, RNG lost, losing to AFS 2-3 and eliminated.
The commentator could only regretfully announce: "With the explosion of the RNG base crystal, RNG, which we had high hopes for, fell to the top eight. There were too many mistakes, what a pity..."
Little Peanut exclaimed: "I thought I had a good chance, but RN G doesn’t want to cherish it. How can he lose? He obviously has a chance to win.”
Lee Sang Hyuk commented: “Maybe there is something wrong with the team. The mentality is not adjusted well, and everyone is silent. , it is easy for communication problems to arise.”
Liu Qingsong agreed: "It should be a matter of mentality. Uzi's mentality has always been poor."
Chen Wei smiled and said: "You can only say this here. If you say it out, you will probably be hacked." ."
Liu Qingsong was not used to it at all: "Uzi is prone to redness and warmth. Not everyone knows this. "
Hongmi greeted: "Anyway, now that the game is over, our opponent is determined, AFS. Next we have to train against AFS."
"Just now. They, Sword Demon and Ryze, are both mid-to-high and worthy of our attention.”
So everyone at TES threw themselves into training to prepare for the semifinals.
After a day of training, Chen Yiqiu lay on the bed to rest after taking a shower.
Sure enough, the intranet has exploded, the first hot search: RNG eliminated
The second place: RNG lost to AFS
The third place: RNG2:3AFS< br>
Taking the top three spots, all talking about the same thing.
Fourth place: Letme is invisible
Fifth place: Xiaohu status
Chen Yiqiu was dumbfounded when he saw this.
Although it is true that there were personal mistakes, it is also true that RNG's overall strength is not good.
The middle and upper levels feel like they are being pushed out to take the blame.
The following comments are basically scolding:
[In this BO5, I didn’t even know there was a Letme playing on the field. 】
[Letme is pretty good. He is invisible but does not send her away. There is a beast who sends the opposite enchantress up. 】
【Is this beast playing Sivir? 】
[Xiaohu didn’t send it? Wasn't it that the enchantress he sent was so fat? 】
【Let me ask you who gave more? 】
Fans of different players in the team are attacking each other, and no one comes out to take care of it. No one from RNG speaks out. It is estimated that it is completely chaotic now.
In the next three days, the remaining two quarter-finals were held.
In the end, FNC defeated GEN and entered the quarter-finals, while IG defeated G2 and entered the quarter-finals.
In this way, the semi-final matchup will be determined for Xiali.
TESSVSAFS.
IGVSFNC. One week passed quickly
Everyone from TES came to the competition site again.
Entering the lounge, everyone put down their things.
Chen Yiqiu is sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, ever since AFS eliminated RNG.
AFS’s voice across the entire network is very high:
[AFS won’t win the championship this year, right? They feel so fierce. 】
【If AFS wins the championship, will RNG be whitewashed? After all, he lost to the champion. 】
[That’s right, RNG just met the champion in advance. Isn’t it normal to fail? 】
【Almost done, who told you AFS can win TES? 】
【AFS didn’t win before, can’t it now? 】
【If AFS beats TES three to zero or three to one, it means that TES is not as good as RNG. 】
Chen Yiqiu can see that only a small number of people really like AFS. Among the remaining people, they either hated RNG before and decisively chose RNG when they saw AFS beat RNG.
Either they are TES's anti-fans, and they will support whoever TES fights against them.
However, these things don’t matter anymore. Anyway, this is not a matter of winning or losing through online voting. Whether someone supports it or not, it doesn’t matter.
In the commentary box of the competition, Colonel Guan, Miller, and Wawa were ready.
Colonel Guan Jian explained:
"The upcoming semi-finals of the 2018 League of Legends Global Finals will pit TES from the LPL division against AFS from the LCK division."< br>
"Both teams are currently in very good shape. After AFS eliminated RNG in the quarter-finals, the voice across the entire network was very high, which will definitely bring some pressure to TES."
Wawa has a different view. :
“I think it’s hard to say, because TES has defeated RNG many times, and TES has also defeated AFS. Their status is His attitude has always been good. Of course, things on the field are hard to say.”
“Before RNG lost to AFS, it is estimated that many people did not watch AFS. In short, time will give us the answer. Let us welcome players from both sides!”
On the competition field, everyone from TES and AFS is about to appear, starting with AFS.
"AFS! AFS!"
There were quite a few people cheering for AFS at the scene.
Then it was TES’ turn.
"Taobo! Taobo!"
At this time, the gap came out. TES's cheers instantly flooded the entire venue, and other sounds were covered.
The director gave a close-up of everyone at TES, and the audience became even more excited.
The players from both sides faced each other in the middle of the stage. Chen Yiqiu faced off against AFS’ top laner Kiin.
This person is known for his stability. If Theshy's upper limit is 95, his lower limit is 70.
Theshy will fluctuate between 75 and 90 most of the time.
The upper limit of this Kiin is 85, and the lower limit is 75. Most of the time, it fluctuates between 80 and 85, highlighting a stability.
The players of TES and AFS shook hands and then came to their respective positions.
Chen Yiqiu puts on the headphones, the equipment has been adjusted in advance, and his fingertips enter the BP session of the first game!
In this game, TES is on the red side and AFS is on the blue side!
In the BAN stage, AFSBAN dropped Draven, Kalista, and Vayne.
While TES is targeting the middle, BAN dropped Galio, Ryze and Tsar.
Colonel Guan began to analyze: "Although it seems that AFSBAN has three shooter heroes, which seem to be targeted at the bottom lane, but if we consider Qiu Shen's hero pool, he can use these three heroes to play the top lane."
“This is just puzzling. Is it aimed at the bottom lane or the top lane? It’s really It’s hard to say.”
Miller responded: “Yes, and then TES chooses to target the middle. After these three heroes are banned, they will have to operate with Kuro. I wonder if Kuro is ready?”
Entering the hero selection stage, the blue side AFS locked the Sword Demon on the first floor.
Seeing this Sword Demon, Colonel Guan analyzed it: "In the previous quarterfinals, AFS used the swing of Sword Demon and Ryze to cause RNG to suffer a big loss. Now they seem to be planning to repeat the same trick."< br>
"However, now that there is no Ryze, they need to come up with another hero who can swing in the middle."
It was TES's turn to choose, and TES got Luo and Qinggangying on the first and second floors.
Miller explained: "TES' Qinggangying can play on the road or in the jungle. This is also a swing. Now both sides are playing hide and seek, releasing smoke bombs for the opponent."
AFS gets Lucian and Thresh on the second and third floors.
TES locked Kai'Sa and Akali on the third and fourth floors.
After Akali was locked, Colonel Guan continued to analyze: "Akali can also swing in the hands of TES, but now the pressure from AFS is coming."
"TES Qinggangying, Aka Rei, middle and upper wild, both are swinging. I don’t know what else to choose on the fifth floor and how to do it. "Response?"
Miller continued: "Sword Demon can fight both Akali and Qinggangying. I don't think it's a big problem. However, Qiu Shen may give you a big one on the fifth floor. "Recruit, that will be troublesome."
ASF locked Barrel and Lissandra on the fourth and fifth floors.
Miller explained: "Kuro chose to avoid the lane. Lissandra is a hero who pushes the lane and roams. The lane is not the focus."
At this time, TES still had no confirmed hero on the fifth floor. Just when everyone was guessing, suddenly, TES got the werewolf on the fifth floor!
After the werewolf was locked, the barrage exploded in the official live broadcast room:
[Huh? Is this the wrong choice, werewolf? Is this hero still playable? 】
【TES, don’t mess around, this game must be won. 】
【It’s over, TES seems to be inflated, choosing this kind of hero. 】
[I really can’t get Urgot. Isn’t there Urgot? 】
The werewolf was replaced by Chen Yiqiu, and Qinggangying took the jungle position.
The countdown quickly entered the last twenty seconds, and the lineups of both sides were determined:
Red side TES: top laner Werewolf, jungler Qinggang Shadow, mid laner Akali, ADC Kai'Sa , assist Luo
Blue side AFS: top laner Sword Demon, jungler Barrel, mid laner Lissandra, ADC Lucian, assist Thresh
Colonel Guan analyzed: "This time TES got the top laner Werewolf in the top lane, which is a bit exaggerated. I have never seen this hero in the game."
Miller analyzed: "Could it be that Is it TES’s ultimate move? Therefore, although most of the top laners are not easy to fight against Sword Demon, there are still better choices than Werewolf, and Qiu Shen’s hero pool will definitely support it.”
Enter the game screen, Chen Yiqiu’s Werewolf choice. Dolan Shield, go straight to the road after going out.
Little Peanut leads the rhythm: "Why do I feel that the three lanes are not easy to fight against each other? I can only resist the pressure in the front. Everyone, be careful. Let's upgrade to level six first."
He was under a lot of pressure this time, mainly because his lineup was not good and his early combat effectiveness was too weak. He had to wait until at least level six.
This is a great test for the jungler. The jungler needs to help him get through the early stage. Needless to say, the strength of the line players will definitely be able to hold the line, but the prerequisite is that the opponent's jungler cannot break through.
The other side had no intention of invading. The first wave of soldiers came out, and Chen Yiqiu's werewolves returned to the line.
The sword demon came out, Chen Yiqiu ignored the sword demon and pushed his troops. (End of this chapter)
