Chapter 133 Ten Thousand Economy! Big dragon! Luo! Clockwork! Understand?
As IG defeated WE to take the lead in entering the summer finals, fierce competition began in the other half of the region.
RNG vs. EDG!
As the two teams with the largest and most popular LPL fans at present, they have been old enemies since their establishment.
Especially RNG's core player UZI and EDG's core player Ming Kai, the two almost propped up an era of LPL.
Fans even affectionately called this game the ‘Pig-Dog War’ because of the nicknames of the Crazy Puppy and the Pig Farm Director!
For their own honor and to qualify for the S7 World Championship, the two teams also tried their best.
RNG is still good at four guarantees and one, while EDG still operates with mid-to-lower dual-core.
Both sides fought around the bottom lane. After four rounds of fierce battle, the two sides tied 2-2. This result made the fans feel excited.
Then the war song sounded, and the two sides entered the final decisive game.
This is similar to the score process between RNG and EDG in the original finals in history.
If nothing unexpected happens, EDG will defeat RNG, a still young team, with the resilience they have shown all year round, and there will be a scene where Ma Baoguo counterattacks and kills the young people.
But if nothing else happens, there will be an accident here.
The strength of the two teams is quite different. It can be said that the slightest change will affect the overall direction.
As the game entered the middle and late stages, EDG had a full 1w economic lead and was almost on the verge of winning the game.
Unfortunately, they were hesitant at the critical moment at the Dalong Pit, fighting and not fighting, walking and not walking, so that their position was blocked by RNG's Luo + Clockwork.
Keywords: 10,000 economy, big dragon, Luo + clockwork.
So under the unbelievable eyes of everyone in the audience, RNG's Xiao Ming gambled his life with R and flashed W to open the two cores of EDG. trick.
EDG's double C was cut, and everyone panicked. They hurriedly counterattacked, but RNG played 0 for 3, losing three finishers, plus a big dragon.
Everyone in EDG felt extremely sad, knowing that this round might be a bit dangerous.
Sure enough, although RNG did not complete the wave, it still pushed EDG to the high ground after relying on Baron to get the Ancient Dragon.
With the explosion of EDG's base, the commentator also officially announced: "Congratulations to RNG. After defeating their old enemy EDG, they successfully entered the summer finals and had a final showdown with IG to compete in our LPL Summer Split. Champion! "
"Although EDG fell into the loser group, they still have the opportunity to compete with WE for third place and the bubble game for a spot in the S7 Global Finals."
For. An Yi was only slightly surprised by this result, but she also thought it was reasonable.
The next thing she needs to do is to prepare for the final battle with RNG, a powerful enemy.
IG must win this game!
Because IG does not have many points in the Spring Split, only 30 points. Once it wins the runner-up, there will only be 90 points to get in the Summer Split, and the total is only 120 points.
But since WE has entered the third place match, with the 90 points from the Spring Split Champion, even if it gets the fourth place, it can still collect 130 points, stabilizing IG and EDG.
The result will be that IG will fall into the bubbling competition, and RNG and WE will directly advance to the S7 global finals as the first and second seeds respectively.
On the other hand, if IG wins the championship, RNG will still be able to firmly enter the World Championship with 160 points in the Spring and Summer Double Asia.
So the pressure is on IG's side. It can be said that their performance in the finals will determine whether they can participate in the S7 global finals.
And this is the huge disadvantage of falling behind in the spring split.
But now IG has nothing to complain about. They must resist this pressure and must be able to resist this pressure.
So from the next day, IG started special training for RNG, and found 'EDG', which won the first place in the imitation RNG competition, as a training match opponent.
At the same time, Coach Mafa also took a deep dive into RNG and discussed the video of the game with the players over and over again.
Among them, An Yi's idea was particularly attractive to him.
Faced with the coach’s daily inquiries, An Yi had only one sentence: "RNG? It’s better to catch him at the second level."
This is not an empty talk, it is mainly aimed at RNG’s moves. The road does work.
First of all, RNG is a team that relies on bottom lane carry. Even if Xiaohu now has the ability to carry indirectly, he is just laughing along with UZI.
So as long as UZI is killed, RNG will lose an arm.
Secondly, this is a BO5 game, and the mentality of the players is particularly important. Although the record and equipment in BO5 cannot be carried over to the next game, the mentality can!
UZI happens to belong to the category of top-notch operations, but not a very good mentality.
So as long as the first one or two rounds are targeted, UZI's subsequent operations are likely to be deformed.
This is not an air conditioner blowing by Anyi - it is groundless.
In charge of the World Championship, whether RNG is playing against FNC or G2, these two teams have undoubtedly grasped UZI's mentality and targeted them in various ways, so they achieved the famous red-temperature scene.
For this reason, Mafa has also determined the strategy: as long as RNG's bottom lane is not played well, then RNG's bottom lane will definitely make it difficult for other teammates.
So An Yi also practiced various black technologies specifically for the bottom lane.
During the training matches, I could only work hard as a sparring partner to prepare for EDG in the third place match.
At the beginning, EDG: No matter who it is, as long as they play RNG, I, EDG, will definitely help out!
After the fight, EDG: Is your IG’s bottom lane a devil?
In such targeted training day after day, IG waited for the day when they would go north.
The finals competition time is September 1st, so on the morning of August 29th, IG flew to the venue of the competition, which is also the venue of the S7 finals - Kyoto!
Since today we still need to shoot a pre-match promotional video and record a pre-match trash talk session, everyone at IG also canceled the afternoon training, and after putting away their luggage and resting for a while, they got on the team bus and headed for the shoot. site.
When they came to a strange city, which was also the capital of China, the team members all watched curiously.
Especially when passing by, I saw the Bird's Nest Stadium standing not far away. Since the 2008 Olympics, it has carried the highest honor of China's sports competitions!
For this Ning sighed with emotion: "Is that where we will play in the S7 finals?"
Anyi poured cold water on him: "Brother Ning, we don't even have the qualifications to compete. If you don’t get it, you’ll go to the finals.”
Ning’s enthusiasm remains: “Hey, it’s only a matter of time before we play against RNG. Who says the quota can’t come from nothing?”
An. art:? ? ? You are so bold! I shouldn't have told you this!
It’s just Ning’s blind confidence that makes everyone on IG feel excited.
Because if they can enter the Bird's Nest to play, it will undoubtedly be the greatest recognition of the career they have worked hard for.
The LPL officials also took this into consideration, and the game was played in the Imperial City, so they naturally chose the Bird's Nest Stadium as the filming location for the promotional video.
When the IG team car slowly stopped, the team members got out of the car one by one and said hello to the RNG team members who were also here.
After finishing, we were waiting for the filming. During this period, An Yi was bored. When he saw the bird's nest, he also sang the song "LegendsNeverDie" because of the scene.
As the theme song of S7, it represents the youth of countless players and the pain of countless LPL players, carrying too many memories.
This song was originally not going to be released until the 15th of next month. However, because the finals animation MV needs to communicate with the contestants about Easter eggs and modeling, Aki and others have listened to it in advance. Now There's nothing wrong with humming either.
While we were singing here, the LPL director over there suddenly looked over and said, "Player Anyi, can you sing this song?"
Suddenly called , An Yi was also startled, and responded: "Ah, yes, because I studied music for a few years before playing in the competition."
The girl introduced in a low-key manner, but Assistant Yang on the side added: "It's still Jiaotong University Music student.”
After hearing this, the director became even more excited and said quickly: "Great! I was worried about having nowhere to look. As a contestant, you are the most suitable person."
An Yi: "???"
Seeing that the girl was still in the dark, the director explained.
Because the victory in the intercontinental competition made the already somewhat disappointed and even despairing LPL audience become more and more enthusiastic about world events.
So LPL plans to take advantage of the popularity of the World Championship and use one of the lyrics of "LegendsNeverDie" as the end of the promotional video.
Although there is nothing wrong with using one or two lyrics as an easter egg as long as the entire song is not revealed before release, Riot Music agreed.
But the key point is that they wouldn’t find the original singer to record just these two lines of lyrics. Isn’t that just for the sake of jealousy?
But it’s different with An Yi. First of all, An Yi’s identity as a player fits the bill, and because he’s from the LPL, he doesn’t have to pay more! (This is the key point)
LPL: Saved again! The funds are endless! There’s simply no way to spend it all!
Hearing this, An Yi also understood that he was about to be prostituted for nothing again.
An Yi: Strange, why did I say ‘again’?
But it’s just a task from LPL, and it’s hard for Anyi to refuse.
Then the director asked An Yi to sing a cappella, and the sound of the sound instantly conquered him, and then he decided that it was An Yi. Then after filming the promotional video, An Yi was pushed into the recording in a daze. shed.
LPL officials are also very efficient. They released the film within one day and promoted it on major video platforms, and then it started a wave of craze.
