Chapter 214 213: SKT, what are you going to do to fight us?
On the mobile phone screen, H2K faced SKT and drew one to one.
In the ongoing third round, Jankos once again relied on an extremely bloody and ferocious attack in the early stage to help the team gain an advantage!
"Ah this..." Gu Xingrao was very confident in H2K, but he didn't expect that the plot would go like this.
The little peanut next to him poked his head in. He was a little taller, so he had to raise his head to see his friend's cell phone screen clearly.
Seeing SKT falling into a disadvantage, Peanut beamed with joy, "Really or not?"
Before the semi-finals started, he had imagined a peak competition with SKT in the finals.
As a result, he failed to reach the finals now.
SKT is also in a dangerous situation!
"They can't make it to the finals, right? Hahaha..." Little Peanut gloated, "That's really the biggest upset!"
Like yesterday's second half match between VG and ROX, most viewers believed that the Tigers could successfully advance.
But even the most optimistic Korean netizens don’t think ROX can sweep VG!
After all, the latter has shown great strength from the group stage to the quarterfinals, and it is normal to be anxious about playing against the Tigers.
And what level is H2K?
The second seed in Europe has no foundation at all.
Inside are Yue Lun, who can't survive in the LCK, and Jankos, a 21-year-old brazen and self-proclaimed king of the new generation...
There is also a bald man who uses his hairstyle to explain why his hometown of Greece is on the Mediterranean coast.
Just kidding, why should this lineup compete with double champion SKT?
Before the game, the audience generally believed that there was no suspense in the semi-finals of the first half, and SKT was destined to sweep into the finals!
As a result, the two sides are now fighting inextricably!
"Why?" Li Zhixun couldn't figure out the reason. "SKT can't be so bad, right?"
Gu Xing clicked on the battle reports of the first two games.
Finally found the problem.
SKT played Xiaohei in the first game.
"Can Shan Jiu play this kind of game?" Little Peanut laughed out loud, "It really amused me."
He and Blank have a passable personal relationship.
Both young players were born in 1998. According to Korean parlance, the two of them call each other "relatives". They have the same seniority and do not need to use honorifics.
At this moment, he laughed mercilessly.
Gu Xing thought so too.
From the group stage to now, he has been studying SKT a lot.
Xiao Hei's current strength is pretty good.
But on the stage of the semi-finals of the World Championship, it is really not enough to watch.
Gu Xing, Peanut, and Jankos are all carnivorous junglers, extremely aggressive!
Xiao Hei wanted to play as brutally as the other three junglers, but reality didn't allow it.
Because he is in SKT.
The team's style is to procrastinate, waiting for the Double C three-piece set, waiting for Duke to lead them all the way, and cannibalize resources through perfect troop line operation to win.
Blank is in this kind of team, and there is no way he can attack in the jungle like other junglers in the semi-finals!
Ultimately, SKT's jungler is a tool.
The team wants him to help solve problems on the third lane.
It is basically unrealistic to expect SKT players to take the initiative to help in the jungle.
Moreover, Xiao Hei's own strength is indeed not as good as the other three. In addition, without coordinating the relationship between his playing style and the team's style, his performance will naturally be very unsatisfactory!
Generally speaking, Blank is trying to use wild core play to act like a stupid chicken.
There are problems with the team and himself, and it is difficult to integrate them in the current version.
In this case, Gu Xing didn't understand why Kkoma was so insistent on letting Xiao Hei play!
Even though Benji needs to train new people due to his age and future contract renewal issues.
But he wouldn't use a crucial game like the S6 World Championship semi-finals to hone Xiao Hei.
Just like now.
"Perhaps Kkoma thought H2K was vulnerable before the game and specially asked Xiao Hei to practice his skills?" Gu Xing guessed.
Coach Nofe disagrees with this, "It's just for practice, but the public pressure that a loss will put on the players will be very scary. With so many SKT fans, something may happen..."
He's not very good at anything else, but he's really top-notch in regulating the team atmosphere and player psychology.
In his opinion, if Xiao Hei is allowed to go up now, if he wins H2k, it will definitely improve Blank's performance.
But in the eyes of countless SKT fans, that is a matter of course.
Unless Blank performs at a dominant level, supporters will not focus on him but praise 96Line's three core players.
And in a team like SKT that wants to control the jungle, it is difficult for Xiao Hei to play brilliantly and outshine the absolute core!
Once he loses the game, in the current World Championship where jungle jungler play is rampant, Blank will inevitably be exposed to a matchup gap!
Whether it’s because the jungler is directly defeated, or because the lane explodes first and eventually affects the jungler.
In most games, the jungler statistics of the losing team are not good, which is also the target of fans!
Especially for Xiao Hei, who has few supporters, it is a severe blow to public opinion.
After all, there are only a few professional players who are completely unaffected by public opinion. Blank himself is not a player with a strong ability to withstand pressure. It is easy to fall into a vicious cycle of being constrained and getting worse.
Nofe doesn’t understand Kkoma’s approach.
"Ignore them, let's go eat Tomahawk Steak after taking the photo!" Gu Xing has long been prepared to face SKT. If H2K can reach the finals, it will be a good thing for VG.
In the training before the semi-finals, VG's winning rate against H2K was maintained at around 65%, which is a quite exaggerated number, and they also have a considerable psychological advantage.
It was already evening when we returned to Manhattan from Liberty Island.
Ding Jun treated the guests and invited members of the Tiger Team to find a steak restaurant, where he wanted everyone to exchange feelings.
Ju Shengbin had a great time eating it. From the beginning to the end, his mouth never stopped, showing off the beef in his mouth.
Smeb is still watching the semifinal live broadcast on his mobile phone.
He really wants SKT to die.
Seeing that his old enemy was so overwhelmed by H2K's rapid offensive that Smeb could not even lift his head up even if he ate braised vegetables, let alone steak!
Olaf, who was now full of tears and pointing at Jankos, shouted in broken Chinese, "Jankos, this basket!"
Gu Xing was taking pictures to show his girlfriend tonight's dinner. When he heard Smeb's cheerful words, he came over to take a look.
"Isn't Jankos very good at playing?" He was puzzled. "I just caught the stupid chicken to death with Yue Lun."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xing reacted.
Smeb was deceived by Gu Shengbin at some point and really thought basket was a Chinese word for complimenting someone.
Gu Xing didn't have time to expose and correct him, he just directed the topic elsewhere.
"Jankos has made great progress now," he was very satisfied with this. He forked a piece of smoked meat and stuffed it into his mouth. "This time I can really tear off a piece of meat for SKT!"
The effect of the joint training between VG and H2K some time ago was fully revealed.
Gu Xing learned a more aggressive early attack, while Jankos learned a more complete operational strategy in the middle and late stages.
The result of learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses was that H2K was able to rely on its early advantage and still play back and forth with SKT around 25 minutes!
In the third game that ended previously, H2K lost after a fierce battle for 45 minutes, and SKT took the match point.
In the fourth game currently underway, Jankos used a ferocious attack in the early stage to once again help the team establish a 5K lead in 25 minutes!
The ROX and VG members who saw this scene cheered in unison.
“H2K Go Go Go!”
Everyone ate steak leisurely and cheered for the friendly forces in Madison Garden.
But the situation took a turn for the worse.
Faker's Clockwork stepped forward at the critical moment and cooperated perfectly with Duke's Gnar.
The two people's ultimate moves were perfectly connected. The moment Gnar flashed and slapped the enemy against the wall, the shock wave instantly swept through the H2K formation!
SKT's solid operations are showing results.
At any time, they can use the army line to allow Double C to get enough economy.
With Lee Sang Hyuk's three-piece suit in hand, the damage caused by the shock wave is enough to frighten people!
Ou Tu tried his best, but only replaced two SKT generals before they died.
The opponent can still take down Baron Nash!
"Ouch..." Smeb slapped his thigh angrily, biting into the steak with gnashed teeth, wanting to mistake the food for SKT, "Why aren't H2K more careful!"
SKT successfully obtained the Baron and eliminated the economic gap in the blink of an eye!
"It's over, it's over," Xiao Duan's face darkened, "Do you want it to end three to one..."
Anyone with eyesight can see it.
There is still a gap between the operating levels of both parties.
Even if H2K learns a lot of details from VG, it will still be difficult to catch up with the top operating team SKT!
If there is a balance of power, H2K can't beat the opponent at all!
SKT knows this well, and after leveling the economy, they make full use of vision control to slowly roll the snowball, and are not in a hurry to advance.
Just when Gu Xingdu thought that H2K’s journey to this World Championship was over.
Changes have come.
At 37 minutes, H2K's economy was 4,000 behind. With a small disadvantage, H2K started a decisive battle with SKT against the Ancient Dragon.
Yue Lun used Ryze to rely on Seraph and passive double shields to tear apart SKT's defense line with his body, creating an opportunity for his jungler to enter the Xiaolong Pit!
Jankos did not hesitate, raised the knife and flashed the punishment!
"I got it!" Gu Xing was beaming.
The steakhouse box suddenly burst into cheers and applause.
Members of the two teams enjoying the immersive viewing experience raised their glasses and made a crisp sound when they collided with each other to celebrate H2K's outstanding performance!
"Look at the faces of the SKT players," Pray said happily, "It stinks, it stinks so much!"
The stupid chicken under the camera is holding his chin in his hand, his expression is quite serious.
This wave of opportunities for the opponent to grab the dragon is mainly because SKT has a small advantage and cannot completely block the Dragon Pit Pass, which will expose some flaws.
Another reason...
It's because Jankos' reckless style of play doesn't make sense at all!
The stupid chicken was stunned for a while.
He replaced Xiao Hei and played three games in a row. He felt that Jankos' style was very similar to Gu Xing in the playoffs of the group stage!
He is just a reckless man who doesn't play his cards according to the routine at all, and often catches himself off guard!
Like just now.
How can any jungler sacrifice the mid laner and himself in a late-stage 5v5 team battle just to grab the dragon?
H2K just dares to play like this!
In order to grab this ancient dragon, they paid the price of losing two people in the middle and wild, and the remaining three people retreated to a safe position.
SKT wanted to end the game quickly, but was successfully held back by Ou Tu with the help of the Ancient Dragon BUFF.
H2K's top laner, the troll, disconnected from behind again, leaving the opponent without enough troops to end the wave!
The regrouped H2K made a comeback, relying on the remaining Ancient Dragon BUFF to rush to the SKT high ground.
The current version of the ancient dragon does not yet have special killing effects, but the attached extra damage and dragon buffs still help H2K reverse the teamfight and achieve a tragic victory of four for five!
Although only one person survived, the resurrection time was as long as one minute, and H2K could still go straight to Huanglong and bulldoze SKT's base!
Jankos was very excited in the picture, and he kept roaring excitedly.
Yue Lun was even more delighted, his fat face almost turned into a chrysanthemum with laughter.
"Two to two, it's going to be full again?" Jack was dumbfounded.
Gu Xing gloated.
They exposed many tactical details when facing the Tigers, and even revealed the trump card of the troll jungler.
If SKT easily breaks out of the top half, won't VG have to suffer this embarrassing loss?
Now that they have reached the decisive game, SKT must show more tricks in order to maintain stability!
"Jankos can play a role. Can he have another round and send SKT back home?" Smeb was full of expectations.
Before the BP session of the fifth game started, Kkoma's expression changed.
Originally he thought it was a guaranteed win, but he also wanted to train Blank.
As a result, Jankos used it as a breakthrough to kill the game. After replacing the stupid chicken, he felt that he could win it steadily.
Who would have thought that H2K could finally seize the dragon with one hand and force SKT into a desperate situation!
After all, in the first game, SKT had to fight Xiao Hei for death; in the fourth game, it was due to some combination of circumstances and bad luck that they were punished and failed to win.
SKT obviously managed to win in the later stage, so this BO5 should be an easy win.
But he played himself on the line between life and death!
At this moment, Kkoma will inevitably be burdened with psychological pressure.
The double championship has given SKT an unparalleled foundation, but from a certain perspective, it is also a shackles and burden.
He discussed with his team members for a while and decided to draw his trump card.
Originally this was used to deal with VG, specifically against Gu Xing's blind β-gank style of attacking out of common sense.
However, the hole card was not drawn too much, only a little.
When Lee Sang Hyuk selected the Guardian of Time, the whole Madison Garden room was in a state of excitement!
Gu Xing was quite surprised, "Can I choose the time mid laner in this version?"
Time is extremely functional, it can accelerate and decelerate, stun and revive. It is indeed a good choice to put it in the auxiliary position.
But in the middle, it is still the S6 World Championship version of the middle.
It is inevitable that some shortcomings will be exposed.
The early cooldown is not stacked, and Q [Time Bomb] has a long cooldown and is slow to push the line.
Moreover, the damage in the later stage is obviously not enough. The output skill of the whole body is only Q, which cannot guarantee accurate hits.
Against the background of the large core brushes of the mages, Time indeed looks like an alien.
Kuro and Lee Sang Hyuk have played against each other quite a lot. Now he is the first to help explain, "Faker was selected to support Bang. They especially like to do this. Time is like an enhanced version of Karma for SKT..."
"Use the resurrection mechanism to improve the overall fault tolerance rate of the team. As long as Bang's equipment is formed, SKT will be sure to win in the later stage."
Gu Xing understood clearly.
SKT's strongest combination is excluding the midfielder and midfielder.
It’s the double C of Faker and Bang.
If the former is the well-deserved core of this team.
Then the latter is SKT's most solid backing!
If you don't know how to play in a critical moment, you can definitely protect yourself.
Back then, Faker played Lulu as a tool and kept Bang running around. Lucian, who had difficulty finding a output environment in the late stage, was able to score five kills, which was enough to prove a lot of things.
In this World Championship, Bang's performance was even better!
When the team's economy accounts for less than 23%, the average output is close to 730, and the damage conversion rate hovers around 170%.
A truly historic performance.
"For example, SKT selected Time + Jhin Double C in this game. If it is delayed to 30 minutes, and wait for Bang to make a three-piece suit, he will be able to run around the whole court and pull, which will be very scary..." Kuro couldn't help but say this. Shivered.
Half a year ago, they met Faker in the LCK Spring Finals.
At that time, Xiaohei's Qian Jue was still the starting jungler, and together with Bang's Lucian, the two shooters were simply lawless under the protection of Lee Sang Hyuk!
The extremely arrogant time mid laner left an indelible impression on Kuro.
It was that final loss that kept the Tigers from making the trip to the midseason tournament.
Gu Xing was still pouring ice Coke into his mouth, focusing all his attention on the live broadcast, and did not notice the change in Kuro's demeanor.
"The sky is bright and the earth is bright, Jankos depends on you..."
Just three minutes into the game, Smeb couldn't sit still.
"No, why is Jankos so out of rhythm in this game?"
Jack rolled his eyes angrily, "Are you crazy? You're going to arrest someone in three minutes?"
"Oh, it's so urgent," Smeb said, not even thinking about eating, "I just want to see the opposite base explode right now!"
Jankos lives up to his reputation as the First Blood King.
In 5 minutes, he helped kill Duke on the road and opened the gap first.
It's just that the stupid chicken returned the favor and cooperated with Faker to catch Yue Lun to death.
"Huh?" Gu Xing hissed, focusing on the middle lane, "You are really awesome. Does SKT have such a linkage between the middle and jungle?"
The guide plays back the battle scenes.
Faker used time to go up and first use E [Time Clockwork] to slow down. Benji's spider cut in from the side, flashed the cocoon and successfully hit the slow-moving Yue Lun!
Immediately afterwards, Lee Sang Hyuk hung another QWQ double bomb on Yue Lun's head to supplement the stun control.
Although Time lacked damage, the double bombs smashing down on his face, coupled with the high burst of spiders, were enough to kill Ryu!
"Yes, something," Kuro was also surprised. "SKT didn't use similar mid-jungle linkage tricks last time."
"Use E to slow down time first to increase the success rate of the jungle spider's cocoon... If it doesn't dodge or move in the middle, it will almost be killed." Gu Xing's face became solemn.
There is no doubt that Benji’s spider proficiency is second to none.
This kind of ferocious carnivorous jungler character can be turned into a herbivore map control game in his hands. In the early and mid-term, he mostly supports the lane, and after the laning period, he starts to give way to the wild monsters in the C position, which can actually perform well. effect.
However, most of the mid-range mages in the current version do not have the ability to move.
Under the encirclement and suppression of SKT's midfielder, it was just a matter of time to catch one!
Waiting until 15 minutes, Benji got stuck in the gap at the beginning of the line change period and came to the middle again to cooperate with his teammates to arrest Ryu!
At this point, Gu Xing was finally sure.
Time paired with a jungler character like Spider who has control or powerful output is a hidden move that SKT has planned for a long time.
During the laning phase, rely on the linkage between the midfielder and the jungler to slow down time and control and damage the jungler, in order to achieve a successful gank.
Use the midfield advantage to help the team relieve the pressure, and wait until the ADC three-piece set is formed before taking over the game.
"Hongmi, do you have any solution?" Gu Xing looked at his coach for help.
There are specialties in the art industry.
Homme, who is good at using destructive tricks, is the perfect choice to deal with routines.
Hongmi had been paying attention to this semi-final for a long time, and looked at the Marquis with furrowed brows, "You know how to use your time, right?"
Before he coached Easyhoon, he once checked the opponent's hero pool.
"...I know a little bit about it," Li Zhixun has always been modest and low-key, and he doesn't brag. "I have used it once in the professional arena."
That dates back to the 2014 Summer Split.
Lee Ji-hoon, who was affiliated with the SKTS team at the time, faced KTA, the broiler chicken + Kakao mining brothers, in the playoffs, and devoted his time to help the team win.
Coincidentally, the shooter of Team S who was protected by Lee Ji-hoon was also Bang.
"In terms of time proficiency, there is no way to compare him and me," Li Zhixun declared in advance, "Faker is proficient, and I can only give a passing performance."
Hongmi nodded, "I'll make a plan when I get back. Just focus on practicing a few heroes this week..."
"Our finals against SKT is probably going to be a tough battle," he said with great emphasis. "Especially the time system, we must find ways to deal with it."
Smeb was very dissatisfied when he heard this, "Jankos didn't die even once, why do you think SKT can win?"
Pray ate the last piece of steak on the plate and patted Smeb on the shoulder with his mouth full of oil, "Don't be so harsh. Do you think H2K can beat SKT?"
In the mid-term, the economic gap between the two sides has not widened.
Time is running out for H2K.
Smeb just didn't want to believe that another team fell short when they were about to defeat SKT!
"You must win the finals next week..." he repeated in a broken voice.
"Let's go back to the hotel to train!" Gu Xing ate and drank enough to be mentally prepared for the finals.
ROX played 300 rounds with VG that night and played 7 training games.
They knew that Ding Jun had generously donated money so that the team could stay in the United States for a week of travel, so they reciprocated the favor and made a special effort.
Xiao Duan even started practicing female gun support under Grella's guidance.
"Actually, the female gun can only be chosen as Zyra's back-up counter. If faced with Karma, the effect will be very poor," Grela said, "This hero has serious limitations. It is best to Paired with ice, it can help retain opponents, and you can gain benefits by relying on chain control and damage..."
He didn't talk much about operational aspects.
Gloria knew that Duan Deliang was a weird operator, and anyone could play the female gun after a few rounds of practice.
The difficulty lies in the construction of the corresponding system.
This is the core of ROX’s female gun support!
Hongmi was also listening with her voice recorder on, waiting to sort out the notes after the training.
Gu Xing practiced jungle combat and refined some details of jungle clearing with the help of Peanut.
Each of them has mastered a lot of skills that the other is not aware of, but now they can improve each other's skills together, and the efficiency is quite amazing!
Ding Jun was very pleased.
This money is not in vain, and using it wisely now will undoubtedly allow VG to grow further within a week!
After Gu Xing returned to his room after a busy night of training, he took the time to browse the battle reports on the e-sports forum.
It's exactly as everyone imagined.
The winner is SKT.
They fought fiercely for 35 minutes and 22 seconds. Bang's Jhin almost played a racing game as time kept accelerating. He used the ultra-high movement speed approaching 1000 to repeatedly pull and pull, and occasionally rushed up and fired two shots, making H2K miserable. !
SKT squeezed out H2K's last hope of a comeback by boiling a frog in warm water and advanced to the finals with a score of 3 to 2!
Gu Xing also saw a picture of Yue Lun's back from the counter bar when he left.
It can only be described as devastated.
Think about it and know that there is nothing more cruel than seeing hope and then being severely killed.
After the double battle between Yue Lun S3 and Lee Sang Hyuk, he went to work in the outer competition area and did not want to stay in the sad land of the Korean League.
Under normal circumstances, he would not encounter Lee Sang Hyuk again in the professional arena until he retires.
As a result, H2K, which was formed less than a year ago, actually passed five levels and defeated six players, entered the semi-finals of the S competition, and met SKT in the semi-finals!
Gu Xing could understand Ryu's mood.
During World War II, he would probably think of the OGN summer playoffs three years ago.
With the same score, in the blind selection double calamity battle, Lee Sang Hyuk used absolute operation to crush Yue Lun.
Ryu must want to regain his position in his heart.
In the end, he was defeated by Lee Sang Hyuk in a completely different way.
This time Faker did not use the peak operation he was proud of.
Instead, use awareness, experience and overall operational details to crush and win through this part.
Three years later, two completely different ways of failure are definitely heartbreaking for Ryu!
Other spectators in the Kangba Bar had a great time celebrating.
[Okay, okay, even H2K can push SKT into a desperate situation, let alone VG]
[Is it possible that this year is really the most promising year for LPL? 】
[Why do I feel that there is no chance? VG has no advantage in any of the five positions except jungler]
[Classics are better than personal strength, so VG is not as good as ROX. Wouldn’t they still win in the semifinals? 】
[Believe in Xiao Gu, he is the pride of our LPL! 】
[Go and watch the post-game interview, Faker is saying harsh words]
The last comment is followed by a web link.
Gu Xing clicked on it and found that it was SKT's post-game group interview.
The first question in the intercepted clip was to Lee Sang Hyuk.
"I would like to ask player Faker, how do you feel about your difficult victory over H2K today and reaching the World Championship finals for the third year?"
Lee Sang Hyuk held the microphone and said with a serious smile, "I don't think it is difficult. Although we reached the fifth game, we always had the advantage and did not give the opponent a chance."
"As for entering the World Championship finals for the third year... I think it's nothing special compared to before. I'm just happy that I and the team have always maintained a high level."
The reporter continued to ask, "I will meet my former teammate Easyhoon in the finals. Is there anything you want to say to him?"
This time Lee Sang Hyuk hesitated for a moment before answering, "No, it feels the same as the group stage, it's just an ordinary game."
Afterwards, the reporter asked about the prediction of the final result. Faker was full of confidence, "I don't know the specific score, but the final winner will definitely be SKT!"
As the absolute core of the SKT team, Lee Sang Hyuk also answered most of the interview questions.
Gu Xing hastily skipped some of the useless articles and saw someone asking stupid chicken what he thought of himself.
"Virtue player?" Benji smiled, "I also watched yesterday's semi-final, and I have to say that he is indeed a very good young player. After all, if he can beat me in the group stage, he must have two skills."
"But in the past two weeks, I have learned a lot from Virtue by studying VG's videos. I hope to have a peak confrontation with him in the finals."
This idea coincides with Gu Xing's.
He can't wait to see what level BO5 SKT is!
The next afternoon, the team prepared to board a flight to Los Angeles on the West Coast.
H2K also has to leave and rush back to Europe.
Jankos has not yet adjusted his mentality and looks depressed.
"Don't be so straight-faced," Gu Xing hit him on the chest, "This is my first time entering the World Championship, and the semi-finals are already pretty good. Let's keep up the good work next year."
Jankos is quite satisfied with his performance in his first World Championship.
At least before he came to the United States, he never thought he could reach the semi-finals of the World Championship.
But he turned around and sighed again.
"I still don't know if I can enter the World Championship next year..."
He is also considered a veteran of the league and has never entered the global finals before.
It was really the right time, right place, right people, and the right people to be able to come in this time.
FNC suddenly pulled its hips and gave other teams in the European Division a chance.
S7 may indicate that the ancient giant FNC will make a comeback!
"It will definitely work, be optimistic," Gu Xing encouraged, "With your skills, you will definitely have no problem entering the World Championships!"
Little Peanut also echoed in simple English, "Yes, the three of us must meet again in the World Championships next year."
The comfort from the two of them made Jankos feel much calmer.
He was quite optimistic at first, but now he is really worried about gains and losses.
I usually like to drink, but the amount I drink is definitely not too much—at least it’s not the average level in my hometown of Poland.
However, Otu, who is from Greece, follows local customs and basically does not drink alcohol. When he sees Jankos drinking, he calls him an alcoholic.
In addition, European bald dogs are naturally unruly.
It’s no secret that H2K’s jungler and ADC don’t get along.
The team may be rebuilt next year, but Jankos is not sure when his contract expires.
"Leave your contact information. If you have nothing to do later, you can play with the microphone..." Seeing that he was about to board the plane, he quickly sped up his speech.
Then he looked at Little Peanut, "Aren't you going back to Korea?"
Peanut puffed up his chest, "We have to go to training with VG, take a look around Los Angeles, and then go back after the finals!"
SKT, who were also waiting for the flight, finally realized something was wrong.
The flight back to South Korea is about to board, why don’t the ROX guys leave yet?
Kkoma suddenly heard Xiaohuatong’s words again and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
SKT has not played a training match for a week.
Before the semi-finals, H2K was a direct opponent, and ROX and VG were potential contenders for the championship.
All three teams, SKT, have not made appointments and usually play ranked games to gain points.
The training effect is naturally not as good as playing with a professional team.
Originally, Kkoma thought that if neither side could make an appointment for a training match before the final, the gap would be infinitely narrowed.
Who would have thought that VG actually pulled a trick and coaxed ROX into boarding the pirate ship!
These two strong teams study every day, and they might come up with something in a week!
Kkoma looked at the ROX members with sinister smiles and panicked. After seeking advice from the team management, he suddenly thought of asking H2K for help and arranged two training matches.
Ou Tu is one of the top talkative players, and the grumpy old man refuses to accept anyone.
After listening to Kkoma's suggestion, he raised his head, revealing his shiny forehead.
"Who are you sending β to? After eliminating us yesterday, you suddenly want to drag H2K to play training matches?"
"Brother, I want to go back to the Mediterranean to bask in the sun. How can I have free time to accompany SKT?"
Otu refused to cooperate.
Not to mention Yue Lun.
If you want to choose someone who has a blood feud with SKT, excluding ROX, it’s him Yue Lun!
Because of Zed's background, Ryu was nailed to the pillar of shame his whole life, and his career was affected a lot.
When he was applying for a job, the boss from the outer competition area immediately thought of two calamities when he saw him. His first impression was so bad that he almost couldn't join the team.
This is no different from cutting off a person's financial path.
Yue Lun now wants SKT to die quickly, but he still plays training games with you?
Why don't you go to heaven?
Double C refused, and the other team members did not want to stay in the United States. They wanted to return to Europe to recuperate.
Kkoma has no idea.
He knows that SKT has been too popular in the past few years and is quite annoying in the circle.
After all, no player wants to live in the shadow of such a dazzling Faker.
Jack grinned happily when he saw that SKT was defeated by H2K.
"Lao Gu, there are three teams in the top four who all want SKT to lose the game. They are the only ones, right?"
"Hmm...why doesn't it count?" Gu Xing asked perfunctorily.
He was busy taking photos with Peanut and Jankos.
The three of them fist bumped each other as a sign of friendship as they said goodbye.
"See you next year...whether it's MSI or the World Championship, I feel that the future belongs to us." Gu Xing is very confident.
"That's for sure," Little Peanut said arrogantly, "It's time for the old guys to move down quickly. We are the future!"
Jankos was also so proud that he waved goodbye to the two friends he met during the World Championships and embarked on the journey back to Europe with his coach.
VG boarded the plane in the evening and headed to Los Angeles, the City of Angels.
This is the largest city on the west coast of the United States.
Hollywood, where entertainment is paramount, and California Institute of Technology, which pursues academic rigor, are both located here, but they don't seem out of place.
Plus, there's the Lakers.
The end point of this World Championship is the Staples Center, the famous stadium and home stadium of the Lakers!
After arriving in Los Angeles, the VG team had no time to appreciate the local culture and customs, so they devoted themselves to hard training.
"SKT's time system is like this..." Gu Xing is still giving advice to Redmi, "We will target each one accordingly and find ways to overcome it."
"First sort out the disadvantages of time. For example, the lane push speed in the early and mid-term is average, it relies heavily on blue BUFF, and accordingly it has no lane rights, and its ability to protect the jungle is weak..."
Hongmi turned the pen and said, "We can start from these aspects."
"The time routine is really strong if you delay it later. It will be a huge increase for Bang... Then wouldn't it be good if we don't let his equipment take shape?"
Around this goal, the players expressed their opinions and kept discussing possible successful plans.
Then let ROX select the corresponding lineup, and the two sides will play two training games to see the effect.
Just as Kkoma thought.
ROX can benefit VG a lot just by acting as a training object!
They can quickly put their ideas into practice and use training games to eliminate wrong options one by one!
On the eve of the finals, Hongmi finally decided on a plan to deal with the time.
Now, he is full of confidence in the next BO5 game.
SKT, what are you going to fight with me for? 8800 words, 21.64w
