Chapter 72 Semifinals—Facing Samsung!
Amid the cheers of nearly 20,000 spectators at Madison Square Garden, H2K, the only European and American team, launched a challenge to SKT, the legendary team with a big devil.
Before the game started, most of the audience thought that this would be a ruthless crushing game of bo5 SKT, but H2K surprised the world as soon as it came on.
In the first game, SKT was on the blue side and H2K was on the red side.
In terms of BP, SKT has the regular three-ban team of Policewoman, Jayce, and Syndra, while H2K has the three-ban team of Ryze, Jhin, and Karma.
At the end of BP, SKT was stunned because Leopard Girl was released, and since Leopard Girl changed her version, Bengi has not played a game against Leopard Girl.
Will Bengi be a leopard girl?
Of course it will, but only SKT insiders know about this situation. SKT is even planning to hide it until they play ROX in the finals and then take it out to catch them off guard.
But now, H2K has released Leopard Girl. Should SKT take it or not?
This is obviously a tentative BP. H2K dares to do this kind of BP. On the one hand, it wants to test Bengi's hero pool, and on the other hand, it must be well prepared to deal with Leopard Girl.
There was no way, SKT finally snatched the Leopard Girl.
If there is a Leopard Girl in the world who is the most feared, it is undoubtedly Xiao Peanut, but the Leopard Girl opposite H2K should not be underestimated either - Jankos is the European Leopard Girl King!
In the end, SKT got the combination of Gnar, Leopard, Viktor, EZ, and Nami, while H2K got Kennen, Olaf, Snake, Sivir, and Zyra.
H2K released Leopard Girl so that the bottom lane can get the support Zyra, establishing a laning advantage in the bottom lane, and the combination of Sivir + Olaf in the jungle is very lethal against SKT's lineup in team battles. .
Sure enough, although SKT established a slight advantage with Leopard Girl in the early stage, in the mid-term, they were completely unable to fight back against H2K's lineup, whose economy was almost the same as theirs.
During the team battle, as soon as Sivir's ultimate move [Hunting] was activated, Olaf activated [Ragnarok] + [Ghost Step] + [Glory of Justice] by himself. In the blink of an eye, he was next to Victor, and after swinging his axe, he Next, SKT's formation was ruthlessly destroyed like a chicken and a dog.
H2K, unexpectedly won the first victory!
The whole audience cheered, and the European and American audiences had a collective climax!
After losing the first game, SKT replaced Bengi and chose to let Blank come to the rescue.
This time, SKT chose to play slowly and steadily, widening the economic gap step by step through long and stable Korean-style operations. Finally, the game finally ended at 42 minutes, with the two sides tied at 1:1.
Entering the third game, the two sides were still going back and forth, which was exciting.
At 2 minutes and 59 seconds, with a wonderful exchange of blood, Ryu used Ryze to sprint away from Faker's flash, and then exchanged flashes to follow up with the previous shot to draw A, completing a single kill of Victor under the tower!
Three years ago, you dodged two of my basic attacks and changed your destiny, becoming the Demon King.
Today, I will finish with a basic attack to avenge the past!
In 2016, Faker was not the "Master Da Fei" who was spurned by countless LOL players, but the "big devil" recognized by the world. Countless mid laners were proud of killing Faker alone.
What's more, there is a deep connection between Ryu and Faker, so after this wave of single kills, the audience in Madison Square Garden instantly became excited, and the whole audience chanted Ryu's ID for a long time.
Countless viewers who watched the game live online were also excited about it. Countless e-sports media published articles one after another, pushing the popularity of the League of Legends 2016 Global Finals to a new peak.
However, the European and American audiences at the scene were not happy for long.
At 3 minutes and 40 seconds, Blank's Olaf started sprinting to catch Ryu, and then rushed to the top lane non-stop, cooperating with Poppy who pushed the lane into the tower to catch H2K's top laner Troll.
In just half a minute, Blank scored two kills through roaming gank, helping SKT open up the situation!
Olaf, who had 2 kills in 4 minutes, knew everything about it, especially since the opponent Jankos chose Spider. Faced with such an advanced Olaf, collision in the jungle must not be his opponent's.
Although Faker was single-killed, after gaining an advantage in the early stage, Blank gradually became full of confidence, completed the weak mark on Jankos, and started the killing mode.
At 27 minutes, in the third game, SKT was unstoppable and won easily.
In the fourth game, SKT was still in a hot state and did not give H2K a chance at all. They operated in a standard Korean style until 31 minutes, ending the BO5.
3 to 1. Although they stumbled in the first game, SKT's overall strength was undoubtedly much stronger than H2K, and they had the last laugh.
October 22nd.
It’s still Madison Square Garden.
In the waiting area, all members of the ROX Tigers lined up, waiting to play.
After a light show, under the leadership of the host, the audience shouted countdown.
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
When the countdown ended, the little tigers stretched their heads and looked forward to the stage.
On the big screen, the semi-finals promotional video was shown again, and the Riot staff standing in front of the players waved their hands to signal the little tigers to start entering.
"Gogogo!"
"Charge the duck! Just SSG!"
"3 to 0! Little Tiger will never work overtime!"
Lin Qiguang walked at the front of the team, holding his head high and his body high. Fans and audiences at the scene kept cheering along the way.
On the other hand, in the area where SSG appeared, although there were constant cheers, the excitement was obviously much lower than that of ROX.
When they came to the stage and stood still, each of the little tigers put their hands on their chests and assumed a cold posture.
"Peanut! You are so cute!"
"Ahhhh Flashlight! I love you!"
"Smeb! Look here, look here!"
No matter how the audience shouted, all members of the Tigers always looked indifferent, but despite this, they still could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the audience and fans.
After the promotional video was shown, it was time to introduce the team.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Madison Square Garden in New York! This is the venue for the semi-finals of the League of Legends 2016 Global Finals!"
"First of all, let us welcome the third seed of LCK-Samsung Galaxy!"
“Top order—CuVee!”
"Jungle - Ambition!"
“Mid laner——Crown!”
"ADC——Ruler!"
"Auxiliary-CoreJJ!"
"Coach—Edgar!"
When SSG was introduced, the atmosphere at the scene was also very warm, and there were a lot of cheers as expected.
However, everyone in SSG hardly moved during the introduction, and at most they waved lightly, which still aroused the disgust of many viewers at the scene.
Everyone’s cheers are so high, why don’t you guys give me some reaction?
“Next, let’s welcome the LCK Summer Split Champions—ROXTigers!”
When the name "ROXTigers" rang out in the venue, there were thunderous applause and cheers!
“The first top order—Flashlight!”
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience and fans, Lin Qiguang smiled handsomely in front of the camera, made his hands into palms, raised his right hand to his collarbone, and raised his left hand diagonally upward at a 45° angle.
What's going on with this move? Some of the second moves?
"Jungle——Peanut!"
“Mid laner——Kuro!”
"ADC——Pray!"
"Assistant——Gorrila!"
“Substitute top laner—Smeb!”
"Coach - Nofe!"
Like Lin Qiguang, every member of the Tigers made similar moves when they were introduced.
Lin Qiguang, Peanut, and Kuro raised their arms to the left, Gorrila, Smeb, and Nofe raised their arms to the right. Pray in the middle squatted on one knee, then raised his hands to both sides.
(As shown in the picture).
After the whole set of actions was completed, the audience immediately cheered and shouted with great enthusiasm, and the barrage in the live broadcast room was also extremely hot.
[Look at the Samsung opposite, this is the show effect! 】
[The Tigers are so fun to play, even though they are a bit mediocre, but I like them! 】
[This is what ROXTigers did in the LCK finals. Tears! 】
[Tiger team rush, rush! Climb into the finals with three stars and end the legend on top of the world! 】(There are still easter eggs after this chapter, please wait for review)
