RNG unfortunately lost to SKT and stopped in the semi-finals.
That night, the Internet exploded. The entire team was greeted by greetings from top to bottom, inside and outside.
With deep love comes deep responsibility. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
From the perspective of the entire BO5, RNG is not without its ability to fight, but unfortunately it is finally short of breath.
Along with this, a bunch of young people posted screenshots of uninstalled games on Tieba, Weibo, and Moments to commemorate their lost youth.
One thing to say, the name of the All-China Class is quite attractive, not to mention that with star players like Uzi, the number of fans supporting RNG may not be less than that of WE.
Before the game, "LPL is a family", "brother team", "you kill three stars, I will kill the barbecue stall", "see you in the Bird's Nest in the finals", and a huge co-branded support sign was also placed at the scene.
As a result, when the game was over, it was "S7 is over", "SKT is scheduled to win three consecutive championships", "LPL is cool", "Even if WE wins the championship, it feels like something is missing", "No one really regards WE as a doomsday hero"
"It can be called reality in the world.
In fact, the LPL audience is somewhat panicked, fearing that the last glimmer of hope will be dashed and not daring to place too much hope!
This year's global finals can be said to be Tianhu's start. All three teams reached the quarterfinals, and two advanced to the semifinals.
However, LCK, as the king of the old era, was not willing to step down from the throne and set off an almost crazy resistance.
EDG was swept out by the inconspicuous SSG in the quarter-finals, and RNG became a stepping stone for SKT in the semi-finals.
LCK has used practical actions to defend the glory and dominance of LCK, demonstrating its strength to the world.
Now that only WE is left fighting alone, can it really overcome the seriously underestimated SSG and win against the transformed SKT in the finals?
Even the most optimistic viewers feel that this road is as difficult as the Shu Road!
No, the road left for WE can no longer be said to be over a mountain.
This is obviously for WE to penetrate the LCK mountains and open a high-speed tunnel for LPL!
……
The next day, the night of the game.
"Summoners on the scene, can you let me feel your enthusiasm?"
With the audience counting down, host Ren Dong walked onto the stage.
"Tonight, at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center, WE will face Samsung, and the winning team will directly advance to the finals of the Bird's Nest. Before the game starts, let's cheer for LPL and WE, shall we?" p>
The director showed the audience to the scene, and what came into view were the old WE people sitting in the front.
Including the factory director who has been eliminated, the remaining four people from WE1.0 all sat together to cheer for Smile, who will be on stage today.
Oh, not only the old WE guys, but also a figure very familiar to the LPL audience.
Mr. Yan, known as one of the four golden flowers of LPL, female commentator Su Xiaoyan!
In addition, there is also a group of relatives and friends of the WE players. Several of the younger sisters with stunning looks made countless wolf howls when they appeared on the scene.
The director naturally understands the audience's xp system very well, and gave WE's sister group a long close-up.
"In 2012, a team called WE came out of nowhere, and players in all regions felt the charm of this team and remembered the red color of the LPL region.
In the past five years, WE has also suffered a lot of setbacks. After experiencing relegation and the reorganization of the team's name, a brand new Team WE was reborn from the ashes and came to the stage of the semi-finals of this year's global finals. p>
After five years of conquering Kyushu with one sword, today one battle will determine the ninth level! If miracles have a color, it must be WE’s miracle red!"
Time flies, from five years ago to five years later, WE has gone from strength to strength and ushered in another glorious period.
Whether it is a revival or a breakthrough will determine how far WE can continue to go.
"Let us welcome the WE team to the stage!"
Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators at home, WE people wearing red and black uniforms came to the center of the stage.
The director gave a close-up, and the audience discovered that everyone in WE had tattoo stickers of WE printed on their faces, which complemented the team logo on their chests.
Including coach Wolong, who has always been formal and meticulous, he also had a team logo sticker printed on his cheek.
These are props enthusiastically distributed by fans outside the competition venue. At this moment, spectators with the same stickers can be seen everywhere in the spectator seats.
A sense of solidarity quickly spread, giving great encouragement to several contestants on the stage.
Tonight, we are all 60e!
On the other side of the stage, LCK's Roaring Emperor appeared and also introduced the opponent SSG team in this game.
"Now, the game officially begins!"
In the joint shouts of the two hosts, the battle for the tickets to the Bird's Nest began.
……
"Hello everyone, I am the LPL commentator doll."
"Hello everyone, I am LPL commentator Miller."
The Haier brothers in the commentary box tonight also changed into new "skins" with Chinese style, and had WE and LPL team logo stickers printed on both sides of their cheeks.
Nowadays, WE is the only one left in the LPL, and the official has given enough cards accordingly.
Wawa: "Tonight is bound to be a tough battle for WE! SSG shocked the world in the BO5 round of eight to four, and it reminded us of the original saying 'if the stars never scatter, we will always win the championship'
!"
Miller: "Because we haven't won the S game yet, we will always be challengers. We can't call ourselves kings until the moment we ascend to the throne. Be fully prepared and focus on the game from the first second.
Until the last second, I felt that WE could beat Samsung!"
In the words of the two commentators, the game entered the BP stage.
In the first game, WE chose the blue side first, and SSG came to the red side.
Both sides came prepared, and the banner hardly hesitated.
In the first round, WE banned Pig Girl, Grasshopper and Rock Sparrow.
The pig girl in charge of An is definitely not under the factory director. This current t0 level herbivorous jungle hero is very suitable for rhythm players like them who use their brains.
As for Grasshopper and Rockbird, they are aimed at Crown, who is in poor condition, and prevent him from getting the ideal mid-lane hero.
On the other side, SSG banned Galio, Rakan and Kalista.
Facing WE, especially on the red side, these three moves are basically locked and are unlikely to change.
On the first floor, WE targets the prince.
Without Pig Girl, the current popular junglers are still Prince and Wine Barrel.
Both of these heroes can be played by Emperor Kang, but in comparison, it will be more troublesome for Leader An to get the prince.
SSG backhandedly got Xiao Pao and Feng Nu, a bottom lane combination with strong laning ability and certain guarantees in the later stage.
On the second and third floors, WE quickly locked onto Varus and Lulu.
A fairly brisk bot lane combination that is not weak in the laning phase and takes shape faster than the opponent.
SSG thought for a few seconds and selected Gnar on the third floor.
Entering the second round, WE banned Clockwork and Wine Barrel, while SSG banned Shen and Big Bug.
Subsequently, SSG finalized Zach on the fourth floor.
It was WE's turn, and a very impressive hero quickly lit up on the fourth floor.
Holy Lance Ranger, Lucian!
Before the audience had time to howl, WE left the fifth floor in seconds.
Seeing the hero, the audience immediately suppressed their unspoken complaints, and then burst into deafening exclamations.
