DT was eliminated in the group stage and withdrew from the competition of this German Cup early.
The new team, which was highly anticipated before the game, failed to even reach the knockout rounds of the German Cup, which really surprised many people.
Suddenly, the direction of public opinion changed slightly.
Not only domestic players, but also many foreign players who are paying attention to DT can't help but get involved.
"The so-called dream team, this is the result? It can't even beat EDG and FPX, it's just ridiculous to skr people!"
"Faker was acclimated after leaving LCK. Facts have proved that his refusal to renew his contract with T1 was not a wise decision. If he stays in T1, at least he can sell his feelings and complete a good story."
"DT spent a lot of money to get Mala Xiangguo out of RNG. Unfortunately, Xiangguo's status has declined too seriously, and its dominance cannot be compared with the past."
"Iboy is so beaten, sell it now! How about Wolong spend some more money and try to buy Uzi over?"
"The top laner is the one with the most serious problem. He doesn't play tanking or tanking, which seriously restricts the team's BP selection. The key to playing is just like that. He can see it during the laning phase, but he often sleepwalks in the middle and late stages."
"I heard that the assistant is in charge, but I don't understand. Brother Li has served as the leader in SKT before. Why not let Brother Li take charge?"
"It's just a question of the head coach's ability. Unless Wolong comes back and fully takes over DT, I dare to say that DT won't even get a seeding spot in the global finals."
"Perhaps, this year will be the second time since S4 that Faker has missed the global finals."
"There are too many strong teams in the LPL. DT can't even get past EDG and FPX. When it comes to upstream teams like IG, V5, and VG, they must be hung up and hammered?"
"Hehe, those Korean dogs who are bragging about your Korean father, are you comfortable now? The locust is gone, everyone is celebrating!"
"I know, this is actually Wolong's big move. He first deceived Faker, and then destroyed all his energy and worth. In this way, the biggest henchman of LPL was eliminated."
That night, Zhuge Liang called Bing Jing to inquire about the status of the players.
And according to Bing Jing’s answer, everyone in DT didn’t seem to have suffered a big blow.
These people have either experienced strong winds and waves, or they have big hearts. A defeat in the cup did not shake them.
In fact, before the German Cup started, everyone in DT had prepared for the worst.
The S9 has just started. It is a little behind at the starting line, but it can still use its power in the middle and rear sections to overtake.
After Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Zhuge Liang had a detailed exchange and discussion with Bing Jing on the problems discovered by his second-line explanation in the past few days.
Losing is not terrible. What is terrible is that you keep losing but make no progress and stand still.
……
This year's German Cup is a real battle between dragons and tigers, which makes the audience hooked.
In the semi-finals, IG defeated V5 with a score of 2:1 and advanced to the finals.
In the other half of the group, VG surprisingly defeated FPX 2:0, proving that buying and selling can produce results.
In the finals, IG and VG were fighting like gods, leaving the suspense until the fifth decisive game.
In the face of huge headwinds in the mid-term, IG played a perfect team battle in Dalongkeng, staged a desperate comeback, and won the championship of this German Cup.
Some viewers compared this game with the S8 finals, saying that this round of BO5 was even more exciting than the finals.
"S8 champion V5 fell in the semi-finals, and runner-up mid laner Faker was eliminated early in the group stage. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
"Hongmi is so delicious. His joining has completely transformed IG. If Hongmi had joined IG last year, maybe IG would have won the championship!"
"Indeed, Hongmi's BP makes people feel very at ease, unlike Jin Zhu who often engages in underworld BP."
"I feel that VG is quite strong this year, no weaker than SKT during the finals."
"It is predicted that S9 will represent the LPL in the global finals, and IG and VG will definitely occupy a place."
"The metaphysics of the player surnamed Gao's championship continues, let us congratulate IG in advance!"
No wonder fans praise it so much, the strength shown by this IG is indeed strong.
Compared with the IG team in the S8 Spring Split, the current IG team is a little less reckless, a little more cerebral, and rough in the middle.
In addition, two sets of player lineups with different styles give IG more choices and enrich their tactical library.
As long as the version does not undergo major changes and IG players can maintain their own form, this IG will definitely be the favorite this year!
……
The German Cup has come to an end, and the spring season will begin soon.
LPL officials also took the opportunity to release a promotional video for the new season.
Different from the previous promotional videos that mainly focused on posing, this year’s official promotional video is entirely an encyclopedia.
The official took the lead in making jokes, this wave is the level 6 stone man flashing his ultimate move to start a group!
In the EDG clip, the record displayed on Meiko's game screen is clearly 7/7/7, and if you look carefully, you can also see the skill icon of the widow.
Although Qi Jiang left the LPL to compete in other competition areas, Qi's will is still preserved.
The one who appeared on behalf of RNG was Xiao Ming. He ordered a spicy hotpot that had everything he wanted in the cafeteria, but Yu Shuang’s guest appearance in the cafeteria aunt said that the spicy hotpot had been sold out.
In JDG's picture, Toothpaste and Duke, a pair of black and white buns, order a basket of buns to entertain the new team member, Peanut.
When it was V5's turn, the unsmiling Ma Ge watched the barrage session, and the content of the barrage was about the other players of V5.
FPX's C position was naturally left to Doinb, and after losing the game, he said "it's a pity".
This year, VG, which spared no expense to produce super battleships, was led by kkoma.
kkoma took off the SKT badge and was about to pick up the new T1 badge to wear when he suddenly shook his head and replaced it with the VG badge to wear on his chest.
IG, which just won the German Cup, won a long time, and the players just climbed over the mountain and it was over.
In the new season promotional video, Faker undoubtedly replaced Zhuge Liang and became the protagonist.
In the picture, Brother Li is sitting alone in the tram.
On the electronic screen behind him, the battle between the two tribulations was replayed, and Yue Lun was beaten to death every day.
The background music playing in the tram is "It's Always Quiet" which the audience must order now that Brother Li is on the air.
Through the window of the moving carriage, you can see photos of teammates who have worked with Brother Li before passing by one by one.
After a while, the tram pulled up to the stop, displaying the DT team logo.
The car door opened, and the remaining four players waiting waved to Brother Li.
The camera cuts to a close-up of Brother Li, his eyes leaving the mobile phone screen for the first time.
The mobile phone screen is filled with slander and doubts about Brother Li.
Finally, Brother Li put his phone back in his pocket, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the tram.
The door closed, and the tram with the SKT team logo on it slowly started and exited the screen little by little.
The screen then darkened, and LPL's slogan appeared: ALL WE FIGHT FOR!
