Chapter 16: How loud are you yelling at God and Demon Horse!
"CLG!"
"CLG!!"
"CLG!!!"
San Francisco time, September 30, 17:07.
The Bill Graham Municipal Auditorium, which was transformed into an e-sports viewing venue, was filled with roaring cheers.
In the League of Legends 2016 Global Finals, the opening game of the first match day of the group stage, North America's second seed CLG almost defeated the first seed G2 from Europe with a huge head-to-head deficit of 14:4.
Since the S2 League of Legends World Series got on track, viewers in the two major regions have been arguing endlessly about who is stronger and who is weaker, NA and EU.
Looking at the results of the S competition alone, EU is indeed >NA, but NA has always been unconvinced and has been waiting for the moment when the EU division team was defeated by the NA team.
Although they are the second seed, CLG also has high hopes from the NA audience this year. After all, they won the runner-up in this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational. This is the best result in the history of an NA division team in the official League of Legends international competition.
This victory has once again confirmed a point of view: G2 is a big player who is "expert in civil war and amateur in external war"!
The optimistic family patriarch Perkz, who is also known as the "European and American King" along with Bilson, actually lost all rhythm when he took out the mid laner Syndra in version T0, and gained a dismal record of 0-3-0.
AD, who was invited to join the team by Perkz after the MSI game, Zven, who was officially ranked No. 16, was also beaten to a score of 0-2-1, and his last hit was suppressed by CLG's Stixxay by a full 80 dollars.
Although both teams were in the second pool when they were drawn in the group stage, NA's second seed beat EU's first seed, and North American players must be going crazy.
NA>EU!
In the second game, ROX played against ANX. Flashlight, who many LPL viewers were looking forward to, did not appear. The substitute top laner, Smeb, was in charge.
Just when the vast majority of the audience believed that the ROX Tigers, the well-deserved favorites to win the championship, would easily win their first victory with absolute crushing force, the ups and downs of the game made the audience take several quick-acting pills.
One word: chaos.
The ROX Tigers, known as the "Strongest Spear", indeed played very fiercely, but it always felt like they were fighting randomly. ANX was not afraid of the Tigers' status as the No. 1 seed/favorite for the championship. The two teams were defeated throughout the game. It turned out to be a back-and-forth fight.
At 3 minutes and 16 seconds, Peanut's spider invaded the red square F4 and captured ANX's male gun.
However, because the skill was transferred to F4 and the R skill was on cooldown, the damage could not be dealt immediately. Instead, the male gun plus F4 was instantly disabled.
Smeb, who has the line rights, controls Rambo and kills from the red buff. The spider lands and is handed over in a flash. In the middle, Kuro's Jace also arrives before the vampire.
ANX's male gun stared at the weak and retreated to the middle, avoiding the combined punch of Jess + Rambo, and maintained its health at 1/3. While Kuro's Jace was dealing out the male gun, he was also beaten to 1/3 of his health by ANX's vampire set of skills, and both of his attacks were successful.
What Peanut and Kuro should do at this time is to eat the bloody F4 under the protection of Smeb, and then quickly withdraw from the red side's top jungle area.
However, the upper, middle and jungle trio were clearly on top. Instead of retreating, Jess and Spider not only refused to retreat, but instead turned to the depths of the jungle after taking F4, allowing ANX's Shen to come in for support.
In the end, the three members of the Tiger team died in battle, allowing Peanut's spider to escape around the stone beetle.
Fortunately, both heads were taken by Shen. The attributes of this hero determine his upper limit. Coupled with the overall strength gap between the two sides, it was not enough to cause ROX's early rhythm to collapse.
Until the 16th minute, the two sides were either fighting or on the way to fight, and the head-to-head ratio was abruptly reduced to 8:8.
One head per minute, the blood level can be said to be full, and it also made the audience who watched the live broadcast at the scene and around the world enjoy it.
At the beginning of 16 minutes, the vampire in the middle of ANX was eager to kill Pray's Lucian in seconds, so he gave away a kill. The ROXTigers took advantage of the momentum and won the first tower in the middle, accumulating a 3.5k economic lead.
Lin Qiguang in the lounge did not panic at all, and the two coaches Nofe and Ssong also looked confident, obviously full of confidence.
Although the exploration of version 6.18 is still continuing so far, they have already mastered a lot of data and can definitely see the direction of the situation better than ordinary viewers.
The time came to 20 minutes. During these three and a half minutes, ROXTigers continued to expand the head score to 13:8, and the economic gap also widened from 3.5k to 8.9k.
It seems like a back-and-forth fight, but it's actually boiling a frog in warm water.
Ordinary viewers only saw ANX fighting bloody battles with the ROX Tigers who could become the strongest in the world with a flurry of punches, but in fact there was not much time left for ANX to struggle.
"Jinghao and Wanghu are still a bit too aggressive. If Zhongren and Fan Xian hadn't beaten the opponent's bottom lane combination in this game, it would have been very difficult to create operating space."
Before the game was over, Ssong began to evaluate the performance of the players.
Nofe also nodded: "Friendship and tacit understanding are powerful weapons that make them dominate, but sometimes they can also make them lose their judgment of the situation."
"Qingguang," Nofe turned to look at Lin Qiguang, "Get ready for the game against G2 the day after tomorrow."
"OK." Lin Qiguang gestured to indicate that he was fine.
The Chinese gaming community pays a lot of attention to ROX Tigers, no less than double champion SKT. After all, this is a team funded by domestic Huya Live, and there is also a Chinese player in the team.
On sites such as Hupu and Tieba, many players started heated discussions about the game before the game ended.
[Qingshizi]: From the current point of view, 6.18 is indeed the most balanced version in the history of the global finals. Even though the Tigers have always had a huge economic lead, the idiots have been fighting back and forth with them.
[Yeye Xiao]: This ANX reminds me of the M5 of the past. Lao Maozi’s tough style is still the same as before. If the tactics are more refined, there should be no problem in qualifying for the group!
[Xiaotian doesn’t eat spicy food]: From this point of view, I always feel that this year is the most promising year for the LPL. IM doesn't expect that EDG in Group C should easily qualify first in the group, and RNG in Group D should also easily beat the LCK's third seed.
[Stomach hurts]: Let’s just say, can we not open the champagne in advance? Just breastfeed as hard as you can, and you will be happy if the EDG breasts explode.
[一OOOOO]: It doesn’t matter, just breastfeed as hard as you can, and when your breasts explode, put on your scarf and squirt him @daidaisenxiong!
[Senior Brother Daidai]: How loud are you yelling at God and Demon Horse!
Two hours later.
[Patriarch of the side sect]: EDG I’m so damned good!
[Xunu Yumi]: @大大哥, can your attitude be better? !
[Empty words for fishing]: @大大哥, are you going to scold me again? !
[Blessed Butterflies Can’t Fly Over the Sea]: @EDG, aren’t you playing some of these things? Win the summer split and win the championship, that’s it? Being beaten in the wild card division? ? ? [One round of moonlight]: Tell a joke, "The director I am your fan", hahahahahahahahhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
[Red Dust Relegated to Immortal li]: 60E rose up, 60E was satisfied, 60E sank to the bottom of the sea, gurgling gurgling.
