Chapter 174 The next road can only be walked by yourself [Please subscribe]
There are many replies below the post.
But now it’s just S7 after all, and RNG’s ‘rational fans’ are not that scary. Most of them are making reasonable rebuttals.
"I'm just thinking about a question, why does EDG only get one-third of the credit for defeating SKT? Why does RNG get half of the credit for defeating SKT?"
"That's not right! You only played one team here, SKT, and you were beaten 4-0 by IG. Why do you get half the credit?"
"Yes! If IG wants to qualify for the finals with you, it will most likely need to defeat two LCK teams. IG should have at least 80% of the credit, right? Where does RNG get half of the credit?"
"If you are serious, then I have only one thing to say to you, your horse is gone! If you are fishing, then I have only one thing to say to you, your horse is gone!"
"I wonder if RNG just beat the weakest No. 2 seed FNC and jumped like that?"
……
Regarding such outrageous remarks, there are more people who criticize him. After all, most of them are normal people.
However, there are also some reverse characters, fun people, Yin Yang family... and other characters who are fishing like crazy.
In the carnival belonging to the LPL, the tournament team officially released the promotional video for the second day of the quarterfinals knockout round again in the early morning of the 20th - [Figure on the Legendary Road]!
The promotional video is also only eight minutes long.
At the beginning, Lee Sang Hyuk and Ming Kai appeared.
But they are not standing back to back like Uzi and Ou Cheng.
Lee Sang Hyuk stood at the top of a staircase, making an effort to climb up.
It can be seen from Lee Sang Hyuk's posture that he is climbing with difficulty. He is holding his knees with both hands, bending slightly and breathing heavily.
There are 11 steps between Ming Kai and Lee Sang Hyuk below, and these steps are all colored.
The three steps behind Lee Sang Hyuk are red, and the three steps below are purple.
Mingkai was standing on the golden stairs, but there were not three golden stairs, but five.
Mingkai was standing on the second of the five golden steps, and there were still three steps in front of him.
As the exciting music sounded, the screen turned and began to play the performance scenes of SKT's previous world championships.
S3, world championship!
S5, world championship!
S6, world championship!
Then there is the results screen of the EDG World Championship.
S4, the top eight of the World Championship!
S5, the top eight of the World Championship!
S6, quarterfinals of the World Championship!
It wasn't until they saw this that the audience understood what the stairs at Mingkai's feet meant.
The competition team clearly divided the results of the World Championship into five stages.
Top 16, top eight, top four, runner-up, champion!
Although SKT was the World Championship champion in S3, SKT did not enter the World Championship in S4.
This led to S4 entering the World Championship, and EDG, which achieved the top eight results, finally caught up two steps, but that was all.
In the next two years of the World Championship, SKT pushed EDG further and further away, and Lee Sang Hyuk was obviously going much faster than Ming Kai.
The barrage of videos is being flooded with all kinds of barrage at this time.
‘38EDG’, ‘3-Crown SKT’, ‘The legend will never die’…
At this moment, the scene turned again, and five thrones appeared in the dark night, but the figures of the other four thrones were extremely blurry, and only the center one, Lee Sang Hyuk, was sitting on the throne.
Behind Li Sang Hyuk, three rays of light appeared, tearing the dark night apart.
These three rays of light turned into heroes whose bodies were comparable to gods, and who could not see the top at a glance. Human beings seemed like ants in front of them.
The one in the middle is naturally the owner of the S3 champion mid laner skin - Zed!
The one on the left is the owner of the S5 champion mid laner skin - Ryze!
The one on the right is the owner of the S6 champion mid laner skin - Syndra!
There was a terrifying turmoil comparable to an earthquake in the video.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
……
The sound came closer and closer, as if indicating that a fourth figure would come out of the dark night again and join the team behind Lee Sang Hyuk.
This undoubtedly means that Lee Sang Hyuk is very likely to win a championship again.
All the viewers did not expect that it was just a promotional video, but the effect was so shocking, as if they were watching a Hollywood blockbuster, which shocked people.
However, just when all the viewers were in shock.
The scene suddenly changed to the backstage lounge of the competition venue.
Ming Kai patted Lin Yuyu's shoulder with some dejection and whispered: "Come on!"
Then Lin Yuyu's voice sounded.
"I think EDG has hope of winning a runner-up spot this year, really!"
Lin Yuyu, who looked serious, appeared in the screen and patted Ming Kai's right arm!
All the spectators who saw this were stunned, feeling that this scene seemed so familiar.
These words, this scene...why are they so familiar?
I seem to have heard it somewhere?
Before they could think more, Lin Yuyu's voice sounded again.
"Because this year's champion will only be our IG. I think 7-chan you are the strongest jungler this year except Gao Zhenning. Only our IG is qualified to defeat EDG. You and EDG should not fall at the feet of others!"
Lin Yuyu's expression in the picture is particularly serious.
But when the promotional video was played here, the audience who was watching the promotional video were completely silent.
Almost all the audience had big question marks on their foreheads, and their expressions were particularly strange.
Barrage spewed out at this moment, and if you didn't turn off the barrage, you wouldn't even be able to see the screen clearly.
‘666666’
‘7777777’
‘Scumbag’
‘Scumbag’
‘Esports scumbag’
‘I didn’t expect you to be such a steady brother’
……
Lee Sang Hyuk's voice sounded at this time. On the stairs, he turned back and looked condescendingly at Ming Kai behind him. He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his right hand and said with a particularly calm expression:
"You have witnessed our championship twice. Some of my fans joked that you (EDG) are our (SKT) lucky dolls.
But I have always felt that our only opponent on the road to legend is myself, so I would like to say that this year, just like the previous three years, stop here and don’t leave! ”
Mingkai laughed: "Our EDG opponent has always been ourselves. No matter who we meet in the quarterfinals, we will defeat them! But you have walked the road to legend for so long, you must be tired, right? Stop and take a good rest when you are tired, and I will help you walk the rest of the way.”
The eight-minute promotional video ends here.
As soon as this promotional video was released, it became a hot search topic at two o'clock in the morning that day.
The main reason is that this promotional video has too many program effects.
EDG, which has won the quarterfinals three times, faced off against SKT, which won the Triple Crown. Who won this game?
In addition, Lin Yuyu gave almost the same chicken soup speech in the two days of promotional videos.
In the IG club, Lin Yuyu deliberately didn't sleep and turned on the promotional video for the 20th just after 12 o'clock.
When he saw the words he said to Ming Kai in EDG's promotional video, his face turned dark.
"Fuck! What does this competition group mean? Isn't this deliberately messing with my mentality?" Lin Yuyu pointed at the eruption with question marks in his head.
Yu Wenbo almost burst out laughing: "Sure enough, my buddy guessed it right. I told you that this is how the show will be effective!"
"What are you laughing at?" Gao Zhenning, who had just finished a Rank game, leaned over and asked curiously.
"Brother Jianjian's speech to the factory director and Uzi's scumbag runner-up was cut into the top eight promotional videos of the two teams!"
"Aha?" Gao Zhenning became happy when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Damn it, isn't the competition team causing trouble?"
"The program is so effective!" Yu Wenbo said, turned on his mobile phone and opened Weibo, and said with a smile: "Look, it has been trending on Weibo."
Lin Yuyu slapped her forehead, unable to complain anymore.
Gao Zhenning burst out laughing when he saw this: "Hahahahaha..."
The high-decibel laughter immediately attracted everyone else’s attention.
After they knew the specific situation, they also joined Gao Zhenning and Yu Wenbo, and they were so happy!
At 4 pm on the 20th, after some performances by players from both teams, the game between SKT and EDG began!
As the first team in Group C, EDG has the priority to choose the side. EDG naturally takes the initiative to choose the blue side.
Today's EDG is completely different from the version of EDG that was eliminated in the group stage in the previous life.
However, although they know that the current version is a 41-point version, EDG has never played a top laner-based system and cannot practice it in a short period of time.
They can only give the top laner a big bug to play by themselves, and then give the mid laner a big late-stage core to build the mid-bottom double C system that EDG is very familiar with. The rhythmic thing is left to Mingkai.
S6 and S7 are two versions after all.
The jungle situation of this version of S7 can be said to be the most suitable version for Mingkai.
There is no need for Mingkai to have extreme operations, nor does Mingkai need to be responsible for carrying in the later stage. He only needs to find opportunities to catch people and counter-crouch in the early stage, and can start a good team in the later stage of the team battle.
Facing RNG's top lane monster, SKT directly took out the top lane monster in the middle to assume the late C position.
SKT is often tricked by various BPs or small designs when it comes to IG, but SKT is not afraid of EDG.
Even though SKT knew that this was a 41-point version, they still chose to play the bottom double C system with EDG.
On the contrary, this is the situation that SKT hopes to see more. Instead of giving the ball to Huni, it is more secure in the hands of Faker.
Both sides played well in the early stage without making any mistakes. At one point, the game reached 25 minutes with only 3 kills, and the economic difference was only 1,000!
However, the EDG of S7 can only say that the staffing is really not good. Meiko, who lost the pilot Deft, not only has to assume the command position, but also has to distract Iboy.
In the 29th minute, SKT found an opportunity for the Baron team and played a wave of 2 for 4. SKT directly won the Baron to establish a victory.
In the second game, both EDG and SKT once again had similar lineups.
Obviously, from EDG's point of view, the reason why they lost the first game was not because of their lineup system or poor playing, but just because they did not perform well in team battles.
EDG keeps its tactical system unchanged, and the winning SKT does not need to change its formation.
However, in the second game of EDG, Mingkai chose to take the initiative. In less than 10 minutes of game time, he killed the middle and lower SKT, got 2 heads of economy, and gave them all double Cs in the middle and lower.
EDG gained a huge advantage early in this game. After taking down Baron in one fell swoop in the mid-term, their economic lead even reached 10,000.
"Damn it, the economy is ahead by 10,000!" Gao Zhenning, who was watching the game, exclaimed: "EDG is okay, but we can't say we can steadily lead by 10,000 in economy when we play SKT, right?"
"Ten thousand gold, as long as you don't get sick, you can win with a few bronzes!"
"EDG is so awesome. Are they really going to join RNG in the semi-finals? Will they be sent to the Bird's Nest finals?"
"Awesome, awesome!"
"EDG cowhide!"
There were bursts of exclamations in the IG club.
Lin Yuyu frowned unconsciously.
An economic game of 10,000 may seem like a lot, but if averaged over 2-4 people, the lead is only about 3,000, which is only a difference of one piece of equipment, and there may even be no equipment at all.
In the game League of Legends, economic advantage does not equal combat advantage. SKT's double C core equipment is enough.
Although EDG's double C killed SKT's double C quickly enough, they did not have the "fault-tolerant equipment" stage of resurrection armor.
At this stage, the comparison is about whose double-C output environment is better.
With just a little control, SKT's double C can kill EDG's double C!
This is why Lin Yuyu particularly likes to let IG concentrate its economic leadership on one person.
When a person's economic advantage is greater, the equipment is better, and the fault tolerance is higher.
Just when everyone was confident that EDG would win this game, EDG was once again defeated by SKT in a perfect team battle just like in the first game.
This scene caused all the LPL spectators who were watching the game to have brain congestion on the spot!
EDG, which had a 10,000 gold lead, was defeated by SKT.
Trolls on major social media LOL sections have sent greetings to almost all the EDG team members and their families!
EDG was pushed to the edge of the cliff by SKT.
In the third game, EDG finally came up with a black technology - top lane vampire!
I don’t know if it’s because Kang Seung-rok’s vampire left such a deep impression on all SKT members in the group stage.
SKT went crazy in this game and started to catch Aguang's vampires.
But the hero vampire knows everything. As long as a vampire with a blood pool doesn't think about killing, it's really difficult to kill him.
Thanks to Mingkai's counter-crouch, the vampire even got two heads early.
Ah Guang can actually be regarded as an 'LPL-style offensive top laner'. It can be seen from his S8 performance in RW. Although his offensiveness is not as good as Jiang Chenglu's, it is still very good.
After gaining the advantage, Aguang's vampire began to lead crazily alone. In the later stage, when facing SKT's three-man double team, he even managed to escape, giving EDG a chance to beat the Baron.
In the end, with the help of vampires, EDG won the game.
EDG pulled back a point, and the score between the two sides came to 2-1!
SKT chose the blue side in the fourth game, and they immediately banned the vampires.
If you can't handle it, just ban it. Kkoma is not stubborn at all.
EDG won the game in the last game. In this game, they are going to continue to let Aguang pull the single lane, and give Aguang another highlight top laner hero besides Dashu from EDG - Gnar!
But SKT was clearly prepared. After seeing Aguang win Gnar on the 4th floor, SKT took down Yasuo with a backhand!
Yasuo beats Gnar!
Absolute Counter laning!
The ending is already predictable!
