Chapter 436: I am still strong, I would rather move my heart with a gray head
The last ticket to the eight-to-four knockout round will be decided between TL and Griffin.
These two teams can be regarded as a duel between the older generation and the new generation.
In the TL lineup, Damu was born in 1995, Xmithie was born in 91, Froggen was born in 94, Smile was born in 92, and M was born in 92.
On the other hand, GRF, Blue Cat and Viper are all born in 2001. Except for Sword King, who is slightly older, Taishan and Lehends are only 1999.
The average age difference between the players of the two teams is six or seven years, which is a bit outrageous. It’s hard to imagine that this is the situation in the e-sports circle!
In the first game, the new force showed great vitality.
The midfielder and jungler combination of the power leveling team flew, and the TL midfielder and jungler were directly bombed, which also caused the upper and lower lanes to be at a disadvantage.
In only 278 minutes, GRF won the first victory.
In the second game, TL, a group of old guys, took the initiative to control the tempo, allowing GRF to invade like fire, but TL remained unmoved.
The vigor of the new army is their magic weapon for victory, but sometimes it can become a double-edged sword.
After several waves of offensive attacks were resolved by TL, Griffin became a little messy.
TL seized the opportunity and made great achievements in one fell swoop, destroying the team at the Dalong Pit.
In the third game, TL still focused on defensive counterattacks.
GRF once occupied nearly 5,000 gold. The three C positions that could not hold up TL were developing desperately, and their equipment was not far behind.
By the time they got the Dragon Soul Group, which GRF was bound to win, TL already had the power to fight.
GRF controlled the Wind Dragon Soul as they wished, but was shut down and beaten by TL.
TL played 2 for 4, and the remaining three people immediately rushed to the baron pit and took the opportunity to rush the baron.
Use the Baron buff to knock down the outer tower, and TL's economy achieves a lead.
GRF was unable to dismount, so they could only bite the bullet and compete with TL for the ancient dragon.
As a result, because they cared too much about the ownership of the ancient dragon, GRF's formation was seriously out of touch and was killed by TL in the river.
It can be seen that Griffin, the dark horse, is still a bit immature, especially in terms of experience and mentality, and there is a certain gap between it and TL.
Entering the fourth game, TL had a chance to let one chase three and end this round of BO5.
Unfortunately, the injury risk of veteran players broke out. After the previous few fierce battles, the condition of everyone in TL has obviously declined, and their energy gradually cannot keep up with the consumption.
TL made a fatal mistake in the late period, lost a good game, and was tied by GRF.
I never expected that these two teams with distinctive characteristics would fight so hard to separate each other. Who will win in the end?
Many viewers and even the official commentators are optimistic that GRF will win the decisive game.
After all, young people have more physical strength. TL felt that they were exhausted in the game just now. Could it be that a short rest period can restore them to full strength?
However, when Griffin was ready for a protracted war, TL suddenly took the initiative to speed up.
Seeing that the gas tank of this classic car was about to bottom out, TL decided to race to the limit in one breath, betting that he could cross the finish line first before stalling.
After many years, Madlife once again demonstrated its magic hook robot to players around the world.
The precise hook, like a claw machine master, can catch it accurately, making the five GRF people run away when they see the robot rushing towards them.
Smiling and showing off his champion skin ez, he dominated the game in the mid-term with all kinds of e-face output.
GRF failed to withstand TL's offensive, nor did they wait for the strong period of their own lineup. TL took advantage of it and pushed the base flat in less than 25 minutes.
When the GRF base crystal exploded and TL's five veterans held their waists or waved their arms, then looked at each other, smiled and high-fived, the audience gave these "old guys" warm applause and
Cheers.
"If you are old and strong, you would rather lose your heart with a gray head? If you are poor and strong, you will not fall into the clouds. This BO5, TL played so well!"
"GRF: The remnants of the old era, there is no ship to carry you in the new era. TL: The future is yours."
"It's so touching to be riding a horse. The youth of labor and capital is back!"
"Griffin will strengthen his team and try again next year. I think it's quite promising."
"Reinforcement? Who are you looking down on? Do you believe that the domestic wealthy bosses are already planning to buy at a premium from Griffin Supermarket?"
"Great birthday! The North American gangster actually made it to the semi-finals. The TL boss fainted in the toilet because of laughter. After being sent to the hospital, he happened to be in the same ward as the senior brother who fainted in the toilet crying."
"TL really gave us too many surprises. We thought that reaching the top eight was already a breakthrough, but we didn't expect that a group of veterans who were about to retire overcame the dark horses of LCK and successfully advanced to the top four."
"Can we expect TL to upset SKT with one hand?"
"Although GRF is the second seed, compared with SKT, the gap is visible to the naked eye. It is no joke that SKT is the only one in this year's LCK."
At this point, all the top four teams have stood out.
The venue for the next semi-finals will also be moved to the Universiade Gymnasium of Gwangju Women's University.
The LPL civil war in the first half, V5 and IG replay the summer finals derby.
The lower half is a night of shining stars, a brawl between well-known players, and TL challenging SKT.
……
Advancing to the semi-finals, the opponent is IG who swept the summer finals. It is said that V5 has an absolute advantage.
However, the closer they get to the Summoner's Trophy, the more worried everyone becomes about gain and loss.
In the training match that night, none of the players performed very well.
Zhuge Liang watched the entire training match with a frown on his face. Before he could say anything, the players spontaneously began to review themselves.
"Coach, I played well, I will practice more."
"I was too hasty on the last wave."
"Oh my, blame me for my poor decision-making."
"Everything started when I was counter-killed in lane."
"..."
Zhuge Liang looked at the dejected crowd and thought that the top eight of them had been eliminated.
"After arriving in Kimchi Country, we have been staying in the hotel to train. Let's end the training tonight. I will lead the team tomorrow and we can go shopping together to relax." Zhuge Liang said with a chuckle.
When the players are floating, Zhuge Liang will try his best to suppress them.
But when the players put too much pressure on themselves like they are doing now, Zhuge Liang needs to relax them to avoid being too tight and causing abnormality.
Everyone was stunned and stared at Zhuge Liang carefully for a while.
Well, he is still as handsome as ever and is not a fake.
"Everything is about efficiency. No matter how you practice now, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Why not relax for a day and practice again when you are in good condition. By then, you will get twice the result with half the effort." Zhuge Liang said slowly.
After everyone heard this, they were still a little uneasy and didn't know what to do.
"Awei, why don't you go to the live broadcast to play Tian Dao and make up for the live broadcast time for the team?"
"Xiao Jiang, quickly form a team, get everyone together, and let's start a five-row brawl in the professional team."
"I'm here to be your ob commentator. It's up to you whether you're going to be a super god or not."
That night, while the entire IG team was immersed in training, the entire V5 team rushed into the live broadcast room.
At first, everyone was quite restrained, a bit like students who were caught deserting by their teacher.
But under the guidance of Zhuge Liang's atmosphere, everyone immediately relaxed.
