Chapter 181Chapter181
Zhong Yuebai knew nothing about the commotion she almost caused in the Wave training room.
However, before returning to the hotel and getting ready to sleep, she received a WeChat message.
It's also a coincidence. When she was setting the alarm, she accidentally canceled the do not disturb mode and happened to see this message.
It was sent by Riddle. It is a very simple sentence in English. The translation is——
[I hope there will be a wonderful showdown today. 】
She couldn't help but smile and said "Me, too" back. After waiting for a while, when the other party didn't reply, she reset her phone to do not disturb mode and put it on the bedside table.
In today's game, they must go all out and leave no regrets.
Thinking like this, Zhong Yuebai closed his eyes, abandoned distracting thoughts and went to sleep.
The semi-finals will start at 4pm local time in Bangkok.
TheSky came to the competition venue two hours in advance to debug the peripherals. There was already a huge sea of people outside the venue, with countless banners flying, and many fans in different clothes forming teams, shouting slogans one after another, and the sound was drowned out by the waves. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly enthusiastic.
The first semi-final was between TheSky and Wave. The outer ring-shaped venue, which could accommodate 30,000 people, was packed with seats. Zhong Yuebai just glanced down the stage and felt the tension that he had not seen for a long time.
More than half of the audience were foreign faces, but there were also many waving blue and gold flags like "Go TheSky!" The official commentator in English is sitting on the rostrum. Other commentators are located around. There are broadcast machines and cameras everywhere. There are about 25 cameras in the entire venue, capturing the information in every corner. .
After the opening ceremony of the semi-finals, all the cameras in the venue were aimed at the player seats on both sides.
Before the first BanPick started, a pre-game interview with Wave jungler was played on the big screen. Mirror faced the camera and said confidently——
[TheSky’s Ares player, I’ve heard of his name for a long time. I think in the duel between our team and TheSky, whoever has the initiative in the jungle will have an absolute advantage, because we are both a team that relies on jungle rhythm. But although he is strong, I believe I am better, so we will see. 】
Chinese and English bilingual translations are displayed at the bottom of the big screen.
After turning around to read Mirror's interview, except for Yu Haiyan and Zhong Yuebai, the other three members of TheSky turned around with smiles.
"Lu Xing, people say I'm better than you~" Yi Yi smiled in a very shameless manner, "Don't take advantage of others."
Lu Xing adjusted his headset and said briskly, "I can't do it, I still have to rely on you to defeat me."
Park Woo-hyun joined the chat, "If the jungler can't c, how can we c? We must rely on the wild emperor to c."
Lu Xing said, "No, no, wait for Poseidon C."
Yu Haiyan said, "You censor me in the early stage, and I censor you in the late game. Let's help each other."
His teammates were all cheering up the atmosphere, but Zhong Yuebai had a serious look on his face and couldn't relax.
She repeatedly reviewed Wave Nosuke's early game path in her mind, thinking about and simulating the feasibility of various responses.
Three minutes later.
Finally, the brilliant lights in the venue dimmed.
Accompanied by the passionate shouts of the English commentary, the exciting BanPick interface appeared on the big screen.
The game has officially begun.
The ban positions of both sides were probably within each other's expectations, and both heroes were banned very quickly. For example, once TheSky banned the explorer, EZ, the hero, they would never let Riddle get it. Wave banned Ares' male gun, which had set a bloody record of five jungle kills and 27 kills in one game in the LPL.
As for the other ban positions, the coaches on both sides have also been prepared.
Then it comes to hero selection.
This is a game between the coaching staffs of both sides.
TheSky was on the blue side in the first game and robbed Aphelios. With EZ being banned, Wave chose the bottom lane combination of Kasha and Karma.
In this version, the prince's jungle priority is very high. What TheSky thinks is that if Wave chooses the prince in their second hand, they can choose Braum and Ryze in their second and third hands to deal with it.
But Wave’s second pick was support. In this way, they are very likely to directly give the counter position to the jungler. (End of chapter)
