The analysis at the American Summer Conference finally gave everyone an accurate understanding of the level of their opponents in the finals, and they understood that although SKT is strong, it is not invincible.
In the next few days, everyone started normal training in the hotel in Los Angeles.
Of course, it is impossible to schedule an appointment with SKT for a training match, as that would reveal the tactics, and the other teams in the World Championship have basically left. The only North American teams that can be scheduled for a training match, but training with a team that cannot break through to the top eight is not discrimination by coach Abu
For the top eight, playing training matches with them was really ineffective, so the training matches were basically stopped.
In the finals, players can only practice their skills in the rankings, and then conduct tactical analysis by watching videos.
It was not until the 27th that the team members, who had been bored in the hotel for three days, finally had new work and needed to go out.
The filming of the finals promotional video has begun.
The general format of this promotional video is similar to that of the semi-finals. It mainly features images of the contestants at various local landmarks, coupled with close-ups of the contestants and saucy remarks in the background.
However, unlike the landmark buildings selected for filming in New York, perhaps because Los Angeles has stronger tourism and entertainment attributes, most of the filming locations for the finals promotional video here have entertainment attributes.
Summer and her teammates first went to the most luxurious amusement park in Los Angeles, then went to the beach at dusk and sunset to take pictures, and only returned to the Staples Center, the final venue, at nightfall.
The scenic spots we went to were worth visiting, but Meixia's teammates had no intention of enjoying and playing. They hurriedly took pictures and left immediately.
Meixia herself really wanted to go on a roller coaster twice or swim twice in the ocean, but she was really embarrassed to waste everyone's time because of her personal thoughts. The latter was not possible even if she didn't even prepare a swimsuit.
I had no choice but to tell myself that after I won the championship in the finals, I would make an appointment with my sister Risa, who had already arrived at the hotel according to the flight schedule, and have a good trip to the attractions in Los Angeles.
After shooting the exterior scenes, it’s finally time for the flirty stage.
As usual, faker spoke on the skt side.
On Edg's side, because the interview answers from Mei Xia's semi-finals have become popular around the world, they specially reproduced her lines from the Glory series.
The edited promotional video began to be released on the official League of Legends accounts around the world the next day, and quickly received a large number of views.
Meixia also watched the movie that night.
As a promotional video, the first thing she noticed was the scenes she had never seen before. Different from the shooting locations of EDG, SKT went to Hollywood Boulevard and Roller Plaza, with iconic letters, and a bunch of roller skating shots.
I feel that the places where skt goes are not very fun. What fun is there in the bare hills of Hollywood? In the roller skating plaza, no one knows how to roller skating. This time, the shooting location of edg won!
Then we get to the scene of edg, where Miatsu looks up at the roller coaster and Ferris wheel at the amusement park, and the seaside scene shows the five edg people walking on the beach.
【Mika-chan is crying with greed!】
【Mika looked at the roller coaster with anticipation in her eyes.】
[How can there be no swimsuit session at the beach! Photographer, you’ve lost your chicken legs!]
[Mika-chan won’t cry. If you win the final, your uncle will take you on a Ferris wheel to build a castle on the beach!]
…
The audience seems to be more dissatisfied with the lack of swimsuits than Miha herself!
However, even though there was no welfare component, the powerful promotional video still won praise from the audience, and the re-engraved declaration of glory received rave reviews.
And with the arrival of the promotional video.
Regarding the World Championship finals two days later, the discussion on the Internet has entered a heated stage.
In South Korea, even though ROX and Samsung, which they had high hopes for, lost one after another, and each team lost more miserably than the other, the audience still did not believe that EDG could win the championship.
Most viewers believe that skt is stronger than edg, and the lck team has a high probability of winning if they play normally. At most, they think that skt's winning process will be very tortuous and difficult.
But what's interesting is that there are two traitors in the lck host. On the pre-match prediction show, two commentators actually thought that edg could beat skt 3-2.
The two commentators were soon denounced by the angry audience and had to come forward to explain.
Under the general trend of unified support for SKT, only a small number of people who are attracted by Mika's appearance, and those who have a grudge against SKT like Samsung jungler An, are still secretly supporting EDG.
On the Chinese side, although the majority of viewers support EDG, the public opinion on the Internet is very strange. It seems that most viewers are pessimistic about whether EDG can win the championship.
This strange atmosphere mainly comes from an e-sports proverb...
"Edg will never let you down when it comes to disappointing you!"
When everyone thinks that edg will definitely go smoothly as the number one seed in the lpl group stage, edg can lose to the wild card.
When everyone saw the list of the top eight players and thought that edg would definitely be eliminated in the top eight, mika and the factory director gave them a huge surprise.
Then came the semi-finals. Everyone thought the match was evenly matched at least until the fifth game, but edg easily won 3-0.
Edg's World Championship highlights a surprise, and it seems that this familiar complaint will become a fact.
Therefore, in the finals, even if the audience felt that edg had a chance to win, they would not dare to take the initiative to breastfeed the lpl team online.
[As long as edg shows its strength in the semi-finals, it still has a good chance of competing with SKT in the finals!]
[Hey, I’m afraid that the factory director will lose his mind and go crazy in the finals! If the factory director tries a triangle kill or a factory-style roundhouse kick, my eyes will go black! 】
[The pressure in the finals is huge, I feel like the factory director’s little heart is about to explode...]
[For the first time to reach the finals, you will be successful if you win one round of skt! 】
[I still want to believe in Mika! There is no such thing as poisonous milk or destiny! Mika even won the group stage with the edg that was given so hard. Even if she had to drag the factory director with her in the finals, I believe she can lead edg to win! 】
Meixia immediately liked the last post manually.
I obviously spoke so passionately in the pre-game promo, but you fans are still here in a negative mood! LPL viewers who don’t believe in Mika, you are in trouble!
In addition to South Korea and China, there is another force with a clear banner on the Internet during this World Championship, and that is the fans of America Summer Games in the island country!
Mika became the first female e-sports player to reach the finals of the World Championship, raising her popularity to a higher level in Tokyo.
The results of the semi-finals made several news headlines that day, and the number of views on her social media instantly increased by several orders of magnitude. As a result, many Japanese people who had only heard the name or even had no idea about League of Legends started to learn from this.
I learned about e-sports during this competition.
And their support for Mika, the Sakura girl, is naturally unreserved and does not care about the strength of EDG and SKT.
For example, Miha's parents, who have now arrived in Los Angeles, told him on the phone many interesting things about his company colleagues after they learned that mika was his daughter.
"It's the junior who taught me how to watch live broadcasts on my laptop. When I heard that my daughter is Mika, a famous professional player in League of Legends, I was so surprised that my jaw dropped!" Mixia's father said.
"He heard that my daughter had given me air tickets and tickets. His face was full of envy, but he immediately became upset. After all, after I left, all the work matters would have to be left to him, haha."
"We just won the final! We will all be cheering for you from our seats! Your mother even wore a kimono specially for you. Remember to say hello to her when the time comes!"
When Meixia heard these words, she was both rarely nervous and extremely excited.
A gentle woman in a kimono sits under the stage and cheers for herself. This is really foul!
