Chapter 98 Intercontinental Championship! Summer Split Champion! (Please subscribe)
"Haha, now you know there is a strength gap between you and the LCK?"
"Didn't you keep saying before the intercontinental tournament that you want to win the group stage and then win the finals 3-0?"
"Why is it so difficult to win an LMS now?!"
"Why don't you speak, why are you mute, and are you just trying to get up and down?"
"What about your LPL halftime tradition of opening champagne? Why did you throw away the tradition this time?"
After G2 E-Sports Club won the Intercontinental Championship, the G2 team once again got a day off.
However, because the next league game is about to start soon, and the finals of the Asian Competition will also start tomorrow, all members of G2, including Mingrui, did not go out to play and stayed in the base to simply relax.
Ah P and his friends still have a lot of relaxing content, either doing fitness, playing csgo, or just watching videos.
At present, Mingrui's relaxation content is only one, which is to find LPL viewers on his scarf to play against each other.
It's not that he is happy about it, but in the two days of the intercontinental competition, his dark value has indeed increased faster than usual, so in order to get more dark value, he must pull the LPL audience's attention more. Hatred.
Unfortunately, it is of no use at all.
After creating the "national humiliation of e-sports" yesterday, even if today's LPL successfully defeated LMS and advanced to the finals, the LPL audience did not come to respond to Mingrui's ridicule. Instead, they began to reflect on themselves and reflect on the LPL division and LCK. The gap between them makes me think about the future path of LPL.
The LPL audience was in this state, which made Mingrui anxious.
It's not that they are worried about the rapid improvement of the LPL division's strength and that they can beat their G2 on the stage of the S7 World Championship, but they are worried about their own dark value.
After all, if LPL viewers don't come to "hack" him, then he will really lose an important channel for obtaining dark points!
"It's boring."
"If the LPL viewers lose their tough mouths, it is equivalent to the West losing Jerusalem."
After continuing to hang around RNG Super Chat, WE Super Chat, and EDG Super Chat for a while, after confirming that there were not many people to counterattack him, Mingrui turned off his phone out of boredom, but in his heart he began to look forward to successfully winning the LPL division tomorrow. Champion.
After all, Mingrui still knows the LPL division very well. If they have no chance of winning a game, they will behave very humbly and look harmless.
But if there is a chance of winning a game, even if the chance of winning is not particularly great, the LPL region will be very confident and even arrogant, and will make ridiculous behaviors such as "booking the championship", "booking skins", "opening champagne at halftime", etc. .
Therefore, only if the LPL wins the Intercontinental Championship tomorrow, can they "regain their strength" and continue to compete with themselves.
But if it really fails to live up to expectations and loses to the LCK division, then the LPL division is likely to be "unrecovered", and morale will not be restored until the S7 World Championship is about to begin.
This kind of result is not what Mingrui wants to see. After all, his dark value accumulation speed is really too slow.
"@G2.Dark: Can the LPL win the championship tomorrow? Can you give me some credit? If you can't win the championship, why don't you give up a few of the S7 World Championship spots to the LMS. Anyway, it's a waste if you go!"
So after thinking of this, Mingrui took out his phone again and sent an encouraging scarf.
So something happened that made Mingrui deeply gratified. After all, the LPL teams and the audience, who still had a sense of shame and a sense of victory, spoke out one after another. They will definitely win the championship in tomorrow's intercontinental finals and fight hard. Hit Dark in the face!
"Haha, that's right."
Mingrui chuckled softly and went to bed.
……
The next day, July 9, the final day of the 2017 Intercontinental Series Asia Tournament finally arrived!
At this moment, not only the audience across Asia gathered in front of the screen, but all the fans of the G2 team were also in the live broadcast room, wanting to see if this LPL division could give them the Dark God in their minds. tone.
Then I was pleasantly surprised to see that the LPL division actually succeeded in giving Dark a try!
In the first game, the EDG team took the lead. After a fierce battle for nearly 50 minutes, they successfully defeated the SSG team. They not only avenged their shame, but also won the first point for the LPL division.
In the second game, the No. 1 seed team WE and SKT met again. The enemies were so jealous that the game was so bloody. After a fierce battle throughout the game, the WE team won. Won the second victory in the LPL and also won the match point in the finals!
In the third game, the OMG team came on the scene. Although they had a pretty good advantage in the early stage with the momentum of the LPL division, they were still inferior to the KT team because of their operational capabilities. The KT team completed the comeback and allowed the LCK division to regain one point.
In the fourth game, the RNG team made its final appearance. Facing the fourth seed in the LCK division, they did not show any mercy to the MVP. They defeated the MVP team with an almost crushing attitude and officially changed the finals score to 3-3. 1!
At the same time, it also helped the LPL division win the championship of this year's Asian Competition!
"Let us congratulate the LPL division for successfully winning the 2017 Intercontinental Series Asia Championship!"
"In this intercontinental competition, our LPL's road to winning the championship was not smooth. Especially in the first two days, it almost hit the bottom of history."
"But our LPL division has never given up and never backed down in the face of desperate situations!"
"So, we defeated the LMS division 3-2 in the semi-finals, and defeated the LCK division 3-1 in the finals. We won the championship of this intercontinental competition with a last-ditch battle!"
"At this moment, we LPL can finally proudly announce..."
"LPL is the number one division in Asia!"
"LPL is the number one division in the world!"
"Let us congratulate LPL again!"
"We are the champions!"
On the TV screen, several official commentators from the LPL were extremely excited, even to the point of tears.
After all, in the past few years, except for the MSI championship in 2015, the entire LPL has been hard to win.
And just when the WE team won the MSI runner-up and was only one step away from winning the championship, in this intercontinental competition, the LPL division finally completed the final step and successfully won the championship that they had longed for for a long time!
At the same time, this championship has another extremely important meaning for the entire LPL region.
That is, it not only announced the official end of the LPL's "Dark Age", but also announced the official beginning of the LPL's "Bright Age"!
Therefore, how can LPL commentators not be excited and shed tears after winning a treasure?
After LPL won the Intercontinental Championship, it was naturally not only the LPL commentators but also the majority of LPL fans who were moved to tears!
"Two years, two full years, LPL finally won the championship. Do you know how I came here in the past two years? We are the champions!"
"LPL is not only the championship, but also the number one division in the world!"
"Seeing our LPL win the championship, does Dak's face hurt, are you afraid, are you afraid? This championship is just the beginning of our LPL. In this year's S7 World Championship, our LPL will definitely massacre this trash like you!"
< br>
"Dak stood up and got beaten! I have tolerated you for three days, and today is the day for me to take revenge!"
"You G2 won SKT 3-2, and our LPL won LCK 3-1! This can completely prove that your G2 won the MSI championship based on luck!"
"But it doesn't matter. This MSI championship will be given to you in the European and American competition areas. The S7 world championship must belong to our LPL!"
"Whether it's G2 or SKT, let us LPL wait to die in the S7 World Championship!"
On this day of winning the Intercontinental Championship, the LPL audience finally opened the champagne again, finally made bold statements again, and finally rekindled their hopes for the World Championship!
Looking at the LPL celebrating together, Mingrui's face finally showed a faint smile, like "I am very pleased to be a father". "That's right. If the entire LPL is lifeless and doesn't even dare to fart, then what's the point of my revenge?"
"The current situation is very good. They ranked second in MSI and won the Intercontinental Championship. The slowly getting stronger LPL must think that they can go one step further and win the S7 World Championship in one go."
"If I were an LPL fan, I would definitely think so too... It's a pity that I am their LPL's big devil!"
"Now that LPL thinks they can do it again, I can only use a little more cruel methods to make them feel the strongest despair at the most hopeful moment!"
"Still want to get involved in the S7 world championship?"
"Haha, have a good dream!"
Mingrui smiled contemptuously, and then posted a new message on his scarf.
"@G2.Dark: Yo? Did you really win the championship? Not bad, not bad, I'm very pleased. I hereby officially announce that your LPL return home in S7 can be postponed to the quarterfinals."
After saying that, Mingrui ignored him, turned off his phone and started training.
After all, after the intercontinental competition is over, it will be time for all teams to sprint for qualifications for the global finals!
……
In the next regular season games in the EU division, the G2 team continues to play their role as European hegemon.
After winning six consecutive games, in the remaining seven games of the summer split, except for a few small games that were "unfortunately" lost because some unconventional heroes were too unconventional.
In terms of the overall situation, the G2 team not only did not lose a game, but also directly won the first place in Group A of the group stage with a record of 13-0, and also the first place in the entire league!
It is precisely because of the G2 team's invincible results that they directly locked in the qualification for the S7 World Championship in advance at the end of the regular season on August 13!
As for whether the G2 team will ultimately be the No. 1 seed or the No. 2 seed, it still depends on whether the G2 team can pass two levels in the next playoffs and win the summer championship again!
After the G2 team ends their regular season journey, they can prepare for the semi-finals until August 27, so during this period, Mingrui can have enough time to pay attention to the situation in the LPL division.
The result surprised Mingrui, because he never expected that after the end of the LPL summer regular season on August 20, the RNG team that he had "high hopes" for actually lived up to his expectations and directly finished with 12 With a record of -4, he won the first place in Group B of the LPL League!
Moreover, he directly qualified for the semi-finals of the LPL playoffs on August 25!
And not only did the RNG team live up to Mingrui's expectations, the EDG team and the WE team also ranked first and second in Group A of the LPL League with a good score of 11-5.
Just because of the relationship between victory and defeat, the EDG team can directly sit in the semi-finals, and the WE team still needs to play one more six to advance to four.
"As expected of the Royal Sanjia of LPL, their dominance in the league is strong."
"It's a pity that they are just a bunch of novices who are experts in civil war and outsiders. In the S7 World Championship, they will still be the top four, eight, and sixteen, and they will get better and better every year."
"And the LPL does have a chance to make it to the top 32 this year. After all, there is one more play-in tournament this year."
Seeing the results of the LPL Yu Sanjia, Mingrui chuckled softly, knowing in his heart that this year's LPL S7 team should be these three teams.
Now, the only suspense is which team can become the No. 1 seed in the LPL division, because only the No. 1 seed can avoid encountering the G2 team in the group stage, thus avoiding the tragic fate of being eliminated in the group stage!
So, amidst Mingrui's expectations, the journey to the 2017 LPL Summer Season Playoffs begins!
On August 22, in the first round of the playoffs, the IG team and the NB team both easily defeated their opponents SNG team and Snake team with a score of 3-0.
On August 23, in the second round of the playoffs, the IG team pursued the victory and eliminated the OMG team with a score of 3-1 to advance to the semi-finals. However, the NB team was swept by the WE team with a score of 3-0 and stopped in the semi-finals.
On August 25, the LPL semi-finals started. The increasingly brave IG team played directly with the EDG team for five rounds, but in the end they lost to the EDG team with rich experience in civil war, and ended with a regrettable score of 2 to 3. Determining their journey in the S7 season, they can only hope for the debut of the talented youngster Jackeylove next year.
In another semi-final, although the match between Team WE and Team RNG was a replica of the Spring Finals, the results were completely different. After five rounds of fierce battle, Team RNG avenged Team WE with a score of 3 to 2 and successfully advanced to the summer. Tournament finals!
In this game, the LPL official commentator shouted the passionate line "Whoever dares to fight with a sword, I am the Tiger General".
For a time, there were rumors that the RNG team could defeat the EDG team and that Uzi could win the first championship in his career!
However, Mingrui cannot see the results of the LPL Summer Finals for the time being, because after the semi-finals, the LPL officials once again resorted to the "sell tickets" tactic and combined the Summer Finals and the final S7 World Championship qualification bubble. It was incorporated into the LPL’s sixth anniversary celebration that started on September 1st.
Before that, the LCS.EU Division Finals has ended!
On August 27, after a half-month offseason, the G2 team finally ushered in their first playoff game, which was also the BO5 semi-finals.
However, there is really nothing to say about the process. Although the H2K team this season is considered a dark horse in the European division, it has no power to fight back in front of the powerful G2 team, so it was easily crushed by the G2 team with a score of 3-0. pressure.
On the contrary, another semi-final in the EU division ended in an upset.
During the entire summer regular season, the FNC team was outnumbered by one person and outnumbered by 10,000 people. Facing the challenger MSF team, they were unexpectedly defeated by the MSF team after five hard-fought games!
This result can be said to be quite disappointing to Mingrui.
After all, he thought that only the FNC team in the entire European division could barely be regarded as the opponent of the G2 team, but who would have thought that with two star players, Caps and Rekkles, they had not even beaten the MSF team. , can only be reduced to the third seed in the European Division.
"Caps, after playing this year's S7, come to G2 next year as a substitute for Perkz. At least you can become a champion. If you continue to stay in FNC, you may never have anything to do with the champion in your life."
Therefore, Mingrui couldn't hold it back and directly sent his "goodwill" invitation to Caps on Twitter.
Then the fans of Caps and FNC got angry and began to fight back, attacking Dark with remarks such as "Humility makes people progress and pride makes people fall behind."
So Mingrui was surprised to find that they also provided him with a large amount of dark value!
At the same time, it also solved the doubts in my heart. I thought that after MSI won the championship, the anti-fans from the European Division were indeed fans of the FNC team!
On August 28, after the two semi-finals in Europe, the finals should have been held quickly.
But I never thought that EU officials would imitate the LPL and postpone the European finals to September 4th.
There was no other way, so Mingrui had no choice but to continue to pay attention to the situation in the LPL division while continuing to prepare for the finals.
On September 1st, the LPL Summer Season Finals finally officially started.
And this fight between pigs and dogs was extremely dramatic.
The RNG team, which had already booked the summer championship before the final, played very fiercely at the beginning of the final, going 2-0 with an almost crushing attitude and winning three match points.
But just when everyone thought that the RNG team would easily win the EDG team 3-0, Uzi could finally make his dream come true and win his first league championship.
The EDG team became more and more courageous in the next three games. In the end, they miraculously defeated the RNG team and became the overall champion of the 2017 LPL Summer Split!
Such a result really made Mingrui ecstatic.
Because what he likes to see the most is the RNG team personally proving that he is trash!
Therefore, the night when the EDG team won the championship also became a carnival night for Mingrui with all his firepower!
"Haha, what am I talking about? RNG is a rubbish team. Even if they lead 2-0, they can be overturned. How can they play games? Going to S7 at this level would be an embarrassment to the LPL!"
"I heard that Uzi hasn't won the championship yet? Haha, how pitiful. Look at Iboy opposite. He won the championship directly in his first season in the LPL!"
"What other tiger generals and reckless men are incense? Haha, they are just rubbish players!"
"Not convinced? Then I hope that the S7 group stage will be grouped, and your RNG will be grouped with our G2."
"In this way, I will have the opportunity to send your RNG home in the group stage!"
Fast forward to the S7 World Championship, everyone is still satisfied╮(╯▽╰)╭
