Chapter 223 Target! Grand slam!
The contest between the league leaders finally ended with dg winning 2:0 over ig.
ig used all their methods, and the continuous substitution of top laners still didn't change anything.
In this one battle, only the DG team in the entire LPL league still maintained a winning streak, and at this time it seemed that the real king was determined.
The gap between ig and dg is still a bit shocking. After all, the actual time to finish the two games was less than two hours. Everyone can understand how amazing this gap is. If you forcefully say that ig has this strength, you will be criticized. ridicule.
However, DG still maintains its dominance over the league, and the discussion after the game was extremely intense.
I originally thought that after a season, the gap between everyone would be slightly narrowed, but judging from this situation, not only did it not narrow, but it expanded. Brother Koi's strength has increased by several points compared to before.
According to the current intensity, dg has really developed a lot and has a great chance to lift this global finals trophy at home in South Korea!
The most important thing is that their triple crown is not going well now, ranking fifth in the league. Although they have qualified for the playoffs, SKT is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. It feels like the spring split again. Cruise.
Samsung is not doing much better at this time. If it wants to win the championship, it can only look to these three-legged cat teams.
Judging from the situation in the playoffs, these teams are strong or not, but they do not exceed a certain level. To put it simply, DG can easily control them.
However, due to previous lessons, domestic fans did not get excited in advance. Anyway, with an indifferent attitude, they might be able to get surprises by then. After all, there have been enough swords pointed at the front. If it is regarded as a joke, it will be a joke. We can't afford to lose face like this. No one wants to see this kind of thing again. The half-time celebration with champagne is destined to be ridiculed crazily.
Besides, we are only playing in the regular season now. Even if we win 15 consecutive games in the regular season, if there is a problem with our form in the playoffs, if we lose the key finals, even if we have points and successfully qualify for the World Championship, it still feels a little less interesting.
Time flew by.
Then came September 24th.
On this day, all members of DG boarded a commercial vehicle bound for the airport. The vehicle was moving slowly. Everyone sitting in the commercial vehicle was already used to it. It was a common occurrence in this crowded magical city. They all closed their eyes and rested. .
The flight to South Korea is at 8pm, but now we have prepared early to leave at 2:00, so we have plenty of time.
Besides, we have already been abroad once before the mid-season tournament. Everyone has seen the world, so naturally they are not so nervous.
"Hahaha, after the Asian Games, the next step is to play in the global finals. I feel hot now!" Xiaotian said to Lu Ming excitedly.
Xiaotian's performance in the just-concluded Asian Games was also remarkable. He was called the patron saint of the top lane, allowing Lu Ming to attack boldly with confidence and create a matchup gap in every game.
Kiin, the top laner of AFS, was originally full of confidence. After all, he stood out from the top laners in Duoduo and also got a ticket to the global finals. It feels like all good things will happen this year.
First win the Asian Games championship and be exempted from military service, and then win the global finals championship and directly become a winner in life.
As for koifish, who performed very well in the mid-season, it was just that their opponent Khan was not very good.
It was with this mentality that this player was crazily killed by Lu Ming in the Asian Games final.
In the three games, they achieved a luxurious record of 3-21-7. The fearful eyes in the handshake at the end of the game undoubtedly left a psychological shadow.
In the end, the Chinese team won the Asian Games championship medal. It was a pity that this medal did not record the main competition, but was only regarded as an exhibition competition.
But even so, everyone was very excited, because no one could have imagined this championship! Everyone is not optimistic about the South Korean national team's lineup. You can tell at a glance that it is not easy to mess with. How can you collide with them?
It is this idea of winning this Asian Games championship that makes them very excited.
In this way, dg has won all the championships in various competitions this year, including the spring championship, the mid-season championship, the summer championship, and the intercontinental championship halfway through. Now they are just short of the global finals.
Especially Lu Ming, Xiaotian and Sima Laothi won the Asian Games exhibition championship. In this way, if they win the global finals championship, they will have a Grand Slam achievement!
To be honest, this is really exaggerated, and based on current performance, there is really this opportunity.
And what makes everyone happy is that if they win this global finals championship, they will not only achieve zero breakthrough in China, but also rely on so many blessings to become the first Grand Slam player in the history of the league. Although the status is still incomparable. Faker, who won the Triple Crown, can still be considered a domestic leader if he can show it. The remaining global finals champions can continue to chase. Maybe he can create three consecutive championships?
Of course, some fans raised this topic and were immediately suppressed.
The global finals have begun now. What if something goes wrong if we start to complete these chores now?
So the best thing to do is to avoid it as much as possible.
"During the Asian Games, everyone didn't expect us to win the championship. Why do so many media think we can do it in this global finals? They are optimistic about us winning the championship." Xiaotian looked at the reports on his mobile phone with some pride.
As a player playing in the Super League for the first time, he is not only happy to achieve such an achievement, but also sighs that he made a good choice.
Sure enough, just like ranking, playing well is not as good as ranking well. I am really grateful to the club for giving him this opportunity.
Especially when I see that my former left-hand mid laner is still hanging around in Suning, and I have to try my best even in the playoffs.
At first, he was called the golden left-handed genius mid laner, but in the end, he was still behind him.
Next, we have to continue to hold on to the top laner and win more championships.
He had already thought out his strategy for the global finals. He stayed near the top lane during the first 15 minutes of the laning phase and didn't go anywhere.
With Big Daddy on the road, I am not nervous at all when playing games.
Xiaotian laughed when he thought of this.
Tabe immediately gave Xiaotian a headache when he saw it.
"Don't be too exaggerated. Skt's state this year is not good and they did not get a spot in the global finals. However, the three teams participating in the competition should not be underestimated. The first is the kt team that defeated Griffin, and the Galaxy team formed last year this year It can be regarded as initial results. The veteran top laner smeb is used in the top lane, and the blue and white three-star bottom lane deft and mata are formed in the bottom lane. ”
"We also know the strength of the kz team. Although we were eliminated by us 3-0 in the mid-season, we were eliminated by AFS 3-1 in the summer playoffs, and AFS lost to Griffin. Griffin is strong enough. It’s still not as strong as kt, so we must be careful about kt’s team.”
"We also have to pay attention to their No. 3 seed Gen. After all, they are in Group B with us. Their strength will definitely not be any worse."
The current core of Samsung is actually the ruler of the bottom lane. The ability to be selected into the Asian Games roster and become a starting player cannot be underestimated.
This team is naturally the biggest enemy in the fight for first place in the group, so be careful.
The strength of the second seed Afs is also unclear, so be careful.
Hearing what the coach said, Xiaotian's smile immediately disappeared, and then he immediately became serious.
What he thought was that with Brother Koi on the road, the next games would be very easy to win. In fact, just like what Tabe said, the game started to swell before it even started. This problem is still very big and it is true that he cannot win a few championships. It starts to expand.
"Let's all take a good rest." Tabe said to everyone.
During this period, dg did live up to expectations and defeated rng 3:1.
ig did not maintain the strength of the regular season in the playoffs, and lost to rng in the semi-finals.
rng made a strong comeback in the playoffs, and in the finals, they were in full swing and even won the first game.
It also made many fans feel that they finally had a chance.
Fans of the rng team jumped out at this moment, saying what would happen even if they won all the previous championships, they would be the No. 1 seed after all.
Brother Koi is just a guy who has been blown away by everyone. His personal strength is average, and the bottom lane has the final say in the game.
The face of gsl made everyone clearly realize that the reason why they didn't jump before was just because they didn't get results. Now that they win a game, doesn't it smell like a shark smelling blood? One after another, people from the dark ditch Jump out.
Of course, the final ending is still very satisfying.
rng wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but was beaten by dg for three consecutive games, finishing with one chasing three.
gsl has completely turned into a joke, and it is embarrassing to throw it to Dafa. After such a reversal, this summer split was an interesting one.
But it was finally determined that the No. 2 seed was rng. In fact, the harvest was still good. After all, it didn't matter whether they won the championship or not. They already had a spot in the global finals. They were guaranteed a consolation prize, so the expressions of the puppies and the others were not so bad.
As for the next bubble game, edg still failed to be in a good state of life and ig.
In this way, the three global finals spots in the lpl division have been determined.
The factory director officially announced his retirement information after the game. Obviously, he is now frustrated.
However, as I get older, it does become more and more difficult to play in the game. The powerful heroes in the version cannot be used at all. It takes a lot of time to learn. I have long lost the energy I had when I was young, so I can only use simple and crude ones like Xin Zhao and Pig Girl. The hero who starts a group has another problem due to his personality. When starting a group, it is easy to think for a long time whether he will be sent to start a group by himself.
So it's easy to miss the best time, which is also the main reason why edg lost the game.
Since the strong opening support in this version has been weakened, Meiko cannot exert his strong opening ability, and the team initiating has to be left to the jungler.
This has led to a vicious cycle.
The factory director knew he couldn't play. Although the club refused to let him retire, he still chose to retire. Why would the old guy stay in the team and cheat these young players?
If you can't do it, then give up your position and let someone who can do it come up.
After all, the youth of professional players only lasts for a few years.
The hope of winning the championship becomes even slimmer by wasting another year.
He understands very well how high the expectations for a championship are as a player.
He resolutely chose to retire.
In this regard, it is indeed better than the vast majority of professional players who only know how to eat and wait to die.
I think that if I still play games, I will have a steady stream of financial income.
There's really nothing wrong with my thinking, it's just that I'm a little selfish. People are like that.
According to the format of the global finals, ig is not qualified to directly advance to the group stage, or must pass the qualifiers.
So they had already traveled to South Korea early to prepare for the next game.
The remaining three major divisions also have two direct group stage spots, but the Taiwan division was deprived of the third qualifier spot.
North American LCS No. 1 seed TL, No. 2 seed 100 Avenue.
It is worth mentioning that the mid laner of One Hundred Avenues is the famous Ryu who was single-killed by the full-blooded robbery on the background board and was killed by the residual-blooded robbery. He is known as Yue Lun's top midlaner.
It was precisely because of this scene that he chose to leave the lck division and come to the North American division to compete in the world.
Otherwise, we might not even be able to win a global finals championship.
But all of this is fate, and it has its own destiny. To a certain extent, it is indeed necessary to accept fate.
After all, it was hard to reach the global finals, but faker failed to reach the global finals.
The two missed each other again, and there is no way to get back the shame they once had on this stage.
You can imagine the feeling of wanting to prove yourself but having no place to prove it. It makes you feel a little bad.
The first seed of European LCS is an old face, the King of Europe FNC, and the second seed is the new TVI team. This team is still quite unfamiliar to the domestic audience.
This is also their first time participating in the global finals.
The team that got half of the seats is the g2 team.
The performance in the regular season was not satisfactory, but being able to participate in the global finals is acceptable.
The playoffs are just a formality to a certain extent, there is not much pressure.
In the next LMS division of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the number one seed is Flash Wolves and the second seed is Team Mad.
The first wild card seed is the Vietnamese TVB team.
This is the team that has already confirmed its place in the group stage.
The group drawings were also drawn before.
DG is in Group B.
The opponent's strength is relatively strong.
Samsung and vit team.
The other is to wait for the finalists to see which lucky person can enter Group B.
Of course, if ig draws Group B later, it will only be postponed according to the rules.
This is the grouping rule of the global finals. Teams in the same division will not be together in the group stage.
Then teams in the same group will not be assigned to the same half zone.
Still quite humane.
As for the other groups.
Group A: fw, afs, pvb.
Group c: kt, mad, tl.
Group D: fnc, 100, ig.
However, for domestic audiences, the team without Skate always feels like it lacks some flavor.
This global finals seems to be a little less interesting.
But this means that the pressure of this global finals is not that great!
It's good news after all.
South Korea is right next door, and all DG members checked into the hotel at one o'clock in the morning.
Don't worry about jet lag.
Early the next morning, I played a few training games with ig to warm up and prepare for the next global finals.
