Chapter 290 The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!
The autumn wind brings a bit of coolness. As November approaches, the weather in the United States gradually turns cooler, and even the leaves at the door are dyed with autumn colors. Fallen leaves floating in the air bring a bit of a desolate atmosphere.
The morning glow of autumn is slowly waking up the city.
On October 23, the battle in the second half officially began.
The Korean team's civil war between T1 and DK began, and there was no doubt about the final result.
No matter how bad the record in other games is, T1 will evolve completely as soon as they come to the World Championship. There is no suspense in this BO5.
As soon as T1 came on, they took the lead and crushed the third line with the style of a king. Even the always confident Third Uncle couldn't rest at ease under oner's crazy harassment, like a headless frog that couldn't find its own rhythm.
Both Zeus and Faker played at their peak level. Facing Deokdam, who was a few points weaker than himself, Gumayusi once again showed the power of Lu Bu, using a policewoman and a Verus to kill continuously!
Excluding BP time, the first two rounds took less than an hour to play, and the score came directly to 2-0.
Unknowingly, DK was already standing on the edge of the cliff. On the verge of desperation, they finally showed some of the foundation of a championship team. Mid laner Xu Xiu reversed the version and took out his most confident Syndra. Canyon was not to be left behind, and won the S12 World Championship for the first time. Choose Kayn!
The battle in the third game entered a fierce stage as soon as it started. The two sides' attacks came and went. Fighting broke out all over the Summoner's Rift. T1, who was completely let go, and DK, who was giving it a try, started a crazy attack. They don't look like two LCK teams at all.
In the early stage, DK relied on Syndra's line rights in the middle, and Sanshu gradually spread his influence to the entire second half. In the early stage, he created an economic difference of nearly 3,000 and successfully gained the advantage.
But when it comes to headwinds, T1 is an absolute professional.
Under faker's expert attention to detail, T1's overall defense was flawless, and its unhurried operations cut off DK's offensive momentum several times.
Soon DK became impatient because the offense could not be launched, and the advantage could not be converted into a victory. In the end, he had no choice but to shoot the baron.
But this shot completely gave away their small advantage. Everyone in T1 in the dragon pit performed their duties and fought a perfect team fight. In the end, only Canyon's Kayn was flexible enough to barely escape.
When T1 took down the Baron with a backhand, the situation on the scene was instantly reversed!
Just like a dying person letting go of his last breath, DK, who was once again at a disadvantage, did not last long. The key reason for this was that since Genshin Brother left, their vision and command system were in a mess. This was also the reason why DK was at a disadvantage at that time. They have important problems in the LCK league.
After T1 skillfully pulled one down several times, DK's personnel were quickly divided and attacked. They lost three consecutive lines and were bulldozed by the opponent's base!
The wolf is coming!
The other teams who were watching the game backstage all had this idea in their minds and felt fearful.
T1 at this time and T1 in the group stage were completely different from the same team. They understood the version and were obviously far ahead of DK, so they could downplay their victory at this time.
No matter which team wants to win the championship, it will be a tough battle.
"Faker, you chose Galio in the first game, but you chose Ryze in the second and third games. This is the hero that everyone in the world knows about you. I want to know why you chose the final correct choice. What?”
The blond host asked with interest, "Was it specially designed before the game?"
Entering the post-game interview session, Uncle Fei faced the camera with a familiar watermelon hair style.
"When I moved the mouse over Ryze, he seemed to be asking why he didn't let me appear, so I finally chose to respond to him."
Lee Sang Hyuk smiled confidently and gave a romantic answer.
As soon as the words were finished, the audience started shouting like a frenzy again!
Even though this is a home stadium in North America, all you can see are supporters from T1. A more appropriate description should be supporters of faker.
The dazzling figure on the stage seemed to be the talented boy he was back then, and he was still so high-spirited.
Zeus next to him looked at his eldest brother with longing in his eyes.
I still remember that when he was eight years old, he grew up watching faker's games at home, dreaming that he could become a professional player and stand on the stage and become the next world king of LoL.
As a result, now that I am 18 years old, your eldest brother is still your eldest brother.
"Congratulations again for winning this game today 3-0. Finally, do you have anything to say to the fans?" The host smiled and waited quietly for the applause to subside before asking the last question.
"This year's journey is both short and long. Thank you for your support along the way. I hope to accompany my teammates until the end this year, and I hope there will be no regrets."
He gave his answer slowly.
Gu Chuan, who was sitting in the room, gently turned off the TV and stared at the notes on the desktop.
As an old viewer who started watching the game in S3.
If he were the great faker back then, he would have said, "Our next goal is to win the championship." Obviously, he knew very well that he didn't have much time left to play, and he wasn't too confident about his condition. .
S12 went round and round as if it was back to the beginning. Gu Chuan didn't know what the final result would be, but he would not let go of any chance to win.
At this time, domestic LPL fans were still criticizing Taobao and EDG. The humiliating defeat of the two teams awakened their championship dreams.
However, fans don't know that there are still masters who have not yet appeared, and there is still a chance to use the quick-acting Jiuxin Pills that have not yet been consumed.
After the LCK civil war came to an end, the next day ushered in the final battle of the top eight.
After a half-day training match and high-intensity ranking, Gu Chuan slept until 12 noon.
When he slowly woke up from bed, he opened his phone and took a look. The screen was immediately flooded with all the news that had just been refreshed.
DRX three to two JDG!
Gu Chuan lay back on the bed with a wry smile and tried to get up again in another way, but the final fact was still before his eyes.
You said you don’t need to watch the JD.com game, but you wake up to another big win? Why did he wake up this morning and all his allies were dead, leaving him alone?
[Brother 9, what’s going on? 】
【Reincarnation. 】
[Their LCK is so strong this year, please work hard and remember to help me (｀ロ)/take revenge! . 】
Gu Chuan looked at the new message from Bai Jiahao on WeChat and shook his head helplessly.
Now it seems that he is still so optimistic,
But this is obviously just a superficial emotion. A year of hard work has come to an abrupt end, which is hard for anyone to accept.
E-sports has always been so cruel, and you can only get to the end by winning all the way. Gu Chuan switched to the forum smoothly, and the three teams EDG, Taobo and JD.com were already listed on the homepage by netizens,
Today is the busiest day in the League of Legends e-sports sector since 2022.
JD.com, which had a sure chance of victory, fell to a mere fourth seed in the LCK. No matter how hard the opponent DRX worked in the process to win in five games, this result is something that the LPL audience cannot accept.
After all, many people's impression of Longcha is still in S11, that broken team that was easily crushed by DK and didn't even have the basic ability to fight back.
Due to WBG's big victory at MSI and the version that seemed to be very good for LPL, at the beginning of the World Championship, most viewers were still dreaming that this year's LPL could win the top four and compete for the championship and Asia.
Now it can be said to be a "double happiness". JD.com can book a flight home with EDG.
For a time, JD.com's live broadcast room suffered a huge fan impact, and even the shopping APP received one-star negative reviews on major download channels.
On the list of war criminals who failed this time, there is no doubt that the first one is Hope in the ad position, followed by the auxiliary Missing.
No one expected that the 26-year-old Deft could defeat the 21-year-old Hope in the lane. Missing looked extremely sluggish compared to the spiritual Genshin Impact.
Although the duo in this version of the bottom lane is no longer the protagonist, they cannot withstand being directly penetrated by the opponent and receiving four or five layers of plating. No matter how powerful 369 and Brother Kan are, there is no way to save the rotten situation. situation.
A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.
Just like losing to WBG in the league, this defeat made Hongmi coach feel extremely depressed again, and he became more determined to strengthen next year.
An invincible team coupled with his grand strategy will surely go further!
After DRX sent Jingdong back to his hometown, the quarter-finals of S12 officially ended. The hotel that was full of laughter a few days ago gradually became quiet as the number of people decreased.
According to the principle of the upper and lower halves, the top four opponents of each team are automatically born.
【WBGvsGEN】
【T1vsDRX】
The week passed quickly in various training matches and rankings, and each team was closely preparing for the next showdown.
Georgia, USA.
City of Atlanta,
The city is rarely lively at this time,
The former home of the NBA Hawks, the State Agricultural Arena was already crowded with people and brightly lit, making this night extremely lively.
This was once one of the busiest concert stages in the world. The entire luxurious venue cost as much as 213 million US dollars and could accommodate an audience of up to 18,000 people. Yao Ming's first All-Star debut was here.
Everyone knows what today will be.
E-sports enthusiasts and fans from all over the world flocked here, everyone was covered with various decorations and lights, ready to cheer for the teams in the semi-finals of the S12 Global Finals!
Representing the strongest strength of a top division, the No. 1 seed from the LPL will face the No. 1 seed from the LCK!
Just like the legendary battle between ROX and T1, tonight may also be an early stage of the final!
"LadiesandGentlemen——!"
"Welcome to Georgia——!"
"At the State Agricultural Arena! Are you ready for the next chapter of the 2022 World Championship!? This will be the final step to the gods! Only two of the four teams can make it out! Go to San Francisco!”
The venue with nearly 20,000 people erupted in unprecedented cheers! The wave of sound crashed towards the stage like a mountain!
The powerful roar spread throughout the venue from the top speakers! The fiery red big screen behind him showed two domineering team logos! Hostile since the establishment of the division, two teams from different divisions met again today, and the makeup photos of the players from both sides collided as if they were competing against each other!
In the absolute middle C position, Gu Chuan and Chaowei looked at each other next to the Summoner's Trophy.
During the introduction by the host, the two teams of players walked through the aisle in the center of the stage and high-fived each other at close range with the audience.
"Atlanta! Let us cheer for this showdown again! There are only two seats in the finals! The winner will get the ticket to the San Francisco finals! WBG vs. GEN! It's about to begin!"
There was endless applause in the State Agriculture Arena! As the players from the two teams took their seats one after another, the lights on the stage finally dimmed.
Two rows of seats are placed facing each other in the center of the stage. The entire ground is covered with a huge LED screen, which can display in time when different heroes are selected.
"How do you feel?"
Gu Chuan slowly adjusted the height of his seat, put on his headphones and started testing the sound.
"To be honest, I'm really nervous." Weiwei took a deep breath and felt his heartbeat speeding up crazily.
It was the first time for him to come to such a luxurious venue and stage. It seemed that the eyes of the whole world were focused on him. Every move he made could be noticed by the audience. He could only force himself not to look at the grand scene around him.
"Put the screen as close to you as possible and turn up the volume."
Liu Qingsong, who has experience in various competitions, seemed particularly relaxed. He taught him softly in the earphones, "Don't care where you are, just focus all your attention on the game screen."
Xiaohu looked over with a smile.
In fact, Liu Qingsong's character is so hard-spoken and soft-hearted. If anything happens, he is always the first to be anxious.
"Eat some chewing gum." Gu Chuan remembered his preparations and passed the green arrow along Xiaohu.
In fact, he was already very excited and nervous about himself, but just like on the eve of the college entrance examination, when you have made all the preparations in advance, when you actually come to the game, it is uneventful.
"Come on, fight slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Dany, who finally walked onto the stage, patted their shoulders one by one and whispered, took out a tactical board filled with various contents, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Both players are ready, the game is about to start, please be ready."
Cheng Lu rubbed her fingers and gently pulled the mouse to the starting position.
The next moment, the familiar war drums sounded throughout the venue! The BP panel is presented to everyone!
As a year-round ace commentator, his voice is still steady and powerful today, "The first round of BP has officially begun! GEN actively chose the blue side through the right to choose sides, while WBG is on the red side!"
After reaching the semi-finals, the advantage of leading the team in the group stage ends here. Under the auspices of the head referee, the coaches of both sides decide the ownership of the side by tossing a coin before the game, and then each game will be played by the loser group. Pick a side.
GEN's coach Score preferred to play second-hand and first gave the initiative to Danni. However, Liang Daren was obsessed with it on a whim and chose the side without words.
As expected, the materials were not enough, and in the end they had to give up the right to choose sides to GEN.
