Chapter 71 I will end the legend!
[I was so tortured during the training match that I no longer want to touch the computer. I just declare on my personal behalf: This year’s world champion is ROXTigers! 】
On October 20, two days before the semifinals of the League of Legends 2016 Global Finals, EDG's jungler Clearlove suddenly issued such a scarf.
After the quarter-finals, EDG and RNG originally planned to play in Los Angeles for two days and then fly back to China.
However, under Lin Qiguang's operation, he still deceived EDG, which had just lost, and became ROX's sparring partner before the semi-finals.
In just a few days, ROX not only became more proficient in using previously designed combinations and routines, but also tried a very bold idea - a double top lane routine.
The result of the training match was that EDG was beaten to death.
As for the cost of the training match, it was naturally paid by Lin Qiguang. After all, EDG was already on vacation at this time, so if you want to play training, you have to pay extra.
Under the questioning of countless bastards, Clearlove successively revealed some ambiguous information.
For example: During the World Championship, EDG's training match winning rate against SKT was 40%, but its training match winning rate against ROX was only 10%!
Another example: ROX has prepared a lot of tricks that SKT could never imagine. Every trick can beat EDG to pieces. It's like 20 shots!
Of course, EDG and RNG have signed confidentiality agreements regarding the specific content of the training matches. Once leaked, they will definitely face sky-high liquidated damages.
Mr. Mingkai's speech first spread quickly within the LPL, and then was passed on to the Internet by domestic bastards, attracting the attention of netizens in various competition areas.
ROX did not respond to this situation. After all, Mr. Mingkai’s speech did not violate the confidentiality agreement and even indirectly created a wave of momentum for ROX.
After the news reached the United States, SKT and SSG had completely different reactions.
SKT’s idea is: No matter how evil you are, I will remain unmoved. I am the best in the world!
As last year's global finals champion team, LCK 2016 Spring Split champion, and 2016 MSI Champions Invitational Champions, although SKT suffered a setback in the summer semi-finals, they still have the capital to be confident.
Faced with this news, SSG was already a little numb.
SKT at least defeated ROX 3-1 in the spring finals, and their SSG, whether in the regular season or training games this year, never won a single game against ROX.
Now EDG suddenly made such remarks again, and the entire SSG team was in panic.
I'm in New York and I'm about to face the ROX Tigers. I'm waiting online. How do I play? ——
At 18:00 on October 21, New York time, Madison Square Garden.
Whether in New York local history, boxing history, basketball history or music history, Madison Square Garden is a place worth mentioning. After three renovations or reconstructions, it has long become a New York landmark and part of the cultural symbol.
Now, in a basketball stadium that can accommodate 19,000 people, the exciting events of the League of Legends 2016 Global Finals semi-finals will be staged for two consecutive days!
On the 21st, SKtelecomT1vsH2KGaming!
On the 22nd, ROXTigers vs Samsung Galaxy!
At this point in time, even though ROX Tigers is at its peak, SKT's influence around the world is still extremely strong.
The same record of 5-1 in the group stage, and the same score of 3:0 in the quarter-finals. The strength shown by SKT is still strong.
And H2K, as the only remaining star in Europe and the United States, is also affecting the hearts of countless European and American audiences at this time.
The dispute between NA and EU was alleviated to a certain extent. A large number of European and American audiences poured into Madison Square Garden to cheer for H2K.
Of course, the North American audience that supports H2K is only a small part of them. More North American audiences are actually more optimistic about SKT. After all, instead of expecting H2K to overthrow SKT, what people want to see more is for SKT and ROX to meet at the top.
On the first day, the biggest highlight of SKT and H2K was the "feud" between Ryu and Faker.
Before the bubble match in 2013, Yue Lun put his hands in his pockets, not knowing who his opponent was.
But Faker stepped over Yue Lun's body and moved forward step by step, eventually becoming the world's number one mid laner at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Before the members of SKT and H2K took the stage, there was a 2 minute and 16 second semi-final promotional video.
The first person to appear on the screen was H2K's bottom lane FORG1VEN. In the screen, he looked up at Times Square and said:
【When we have nothing to lose, all we think about is victory. I think if we give it our all, it’s possible to make history! 】
Although in the history of the League of Legends Global Finals, Europe's FNC was the first to win the Summoner's Trophy, neither European players nor e-sports practitioners would regard the "Internet Cafe Tournament" champion as a glory.
So what FORG1VEN calls "making history" is defeating SKT and reaching the finals!
After FORG1VEN, it’s Crown brother Crown:
[I want to go further, and the further I go, the more I want to know where my limits are. 】
Ambition:
[I believe we can cross the ROX mountain in the semi-finals. This step will definitely be extremely difficult, but I will try my best for this. 】
SKT’s only Li brother Wolf:
[Our goal has always been to defend the title. No matter it is H2K in front of us or our opponents in the final - SSG or ROX, they can't stop us from achieving great things! 】
ROX captain Gorrila:
[We are looking forward to meeting SKT on the final stage. This is the obsession that the Tigers have accumulated for two years. We will definitely defeat you on the pinnacle stage! 】
The big devil Faker:
[This time Riot still rated me as Top 1, which actually explains a lot. SKT failed to show its due strength in the summer split, but now I always firmly believe that SKT is the strongest team in the world, and I——will Defeat all challengers as always! 】
Flashlight:
[The title of No. 1 in the world will always belong to the strongest person in the world. Maybe no one can match your honor for the time being, but in this year’s global finals, I will personally end the legend! Therefore, I hope SKT will not accidentally fall in the semi-finals. 】
After the promotional video, the lights dimmed, and suddenly a bright light shone on the center of the stage. The Summoner's Trophy, symbolizing the highest honor of the League of Legends professional league, stood quietly in the center of the stage.
"Live and in all live broadcast rooms, League of Legends players from all over the world, welcome to Madison Square Garden in New York! Are you ready?!"
"Sixteen teams from all over the world, after eighteen days of competition, only four teams were able to come here."
"On the two nights today and tomorrow, these four teams will conduct two bo5 trials respectively to compete for tickets to the Staples Center in Los Angeles for the glory of the division and the honor of the team!"
< br>
"Now let's welcome the two teams that will be playing tonight. The first is the second seed from LCS.EU-H2KGaming!"
"."
"After that, it's the defending champion-SKtelecomT1!" After this chapter, there will be my self-made promotional video for the semi-finals opening ceremony,
The Easter egg chapter needs time to be reviewed and should be released during the day. Please remember to watch~
