Chapter 236 [I have begun to study the opponents of MSI]
"Let us congratulate edg for successfully advancing to the 2018 lpl spring finals!"
After edg won the game, Guan Zeyuan and Remember, who were in charge of the commentary at the scene, congratulated each other.
On the field, the rng players left the field sadly. The spicy hot pot was brought up for the life and death game. After losing the game, after all the teammates left, they stood up from their seats and put on their clothes.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at the stage behind him, looking a little nostalgic and reluctant to leave.
"I didn't expect edg to win so easily. It was completely different from what I expected before the game." Guan Zeyuan was a little depressed.
In the post-season dining hall night show before the game, he predicted the scores of the conference finals were WE 3-0 YM, and RNG 3-0 EDG. Unexpectedly, the scores were correct, but the order was all wrong.
On the show, Guan Zeyuan directly stated that Letme has grown very rapidly this year and is already a T1 level top laner in LPL. He believes that he can show the style of domestic top laners with Huni online.
As for the Tiger Emperor of Spring in the middle, it is no surprise that he will become the core of the team after Uzi's absence and become the mainstay of the game.
The result was that Huni won three MVP games in a row, while Xiaohu only produced 8800 output in the third game of life and death, which was almost equivalent to being invisible.
"Brother Guan, now I'm doubting your ingredients. Are you pure or starch?" I remember smiling.
"Don't do it, my predictions are all based on scientific research and analysis," Guan Zeyuan said helplessly, "But after watching today's game, I can only say that this year's EDG is really terrible."
In the three games, none lasted more than 30 minutes, and rng never saw the high ground of edg from the beginning to the end. Even in the second game, rng was beaten by a "Linglong Tower" (rng had zero dragons and zero defensive towers in the game)
Bureau...
With rng's lineup configuration, even if Uzi is absent, it is still as strong as the four emperors of lpl, but it is still swept by edg in such a tyrannical way.
"I can't help it, Huni was in great shape today," I remember sighing, "Last year, we often said that Huni's performance in SKT was unsatisfactory, but this year after entering the LPL, Huni has entered the stage of his personal career.
peak."
"I feel that he is suitable to play in the LPL," Guan Zeyuan said seriously, "SKT's full-court operation style of play is actually a restriction on Huni. This year we also saw his upper limit, ranking first in the LPL
The level of top order is really great.”
"Hey, it's too early for you to say that," I remember interrupting, "You know, YM in another division also eliminated WE with a score of three to zero. Who is the first in LPL between Jiangsu University of Science and Technology and Huni?
Top laner, we can’t make a final decision until the finals are played.”
"Yes, very rigorous." Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.
After the game.
Huni and Peanut also came to the post-match interview venue.
The host Yu Shuang handed him the microphone with a smile, and there was a cute translator girl standing next to him.
After winning the game, Huni raised his head slightly and looked a little arrogant, while the little peanut beside him looked a little shy.
Yu Shuang first congratulated the two of them, and then started asking the usual questions.
"Coming to the first season of LPL, what do Huni players think?" Yu Shuang asked.
After listening to the translation, Huni said a series of cold words.
"I feel very good. The LPL's regional play style is very suitable for me. I can play more freely here than I did in SKT last year. I think this year will be the best year of my career."
Yu Shuang nodded and then asked.
"EDG successfully advanced to the spring finals this year. Next, you will face YM, an opponent from another division. Facing YM, are you confident in winning?"
After hearing this, huni smiled and said a bunch of cold words.
The translator on the side looked a little confused after listening carefully.
She whispered a few cold words, as if confirming something with Huni. After the latter shrugged indifferently, the translator lady repeated his original words.
"To be honest, we initially thought that our opponent would be WE, and YM would advance to the finals. This was beyond my expectation. However, rather than our opponents in the finals, I am more concerned about which teams from MSI will participate. Because we will be there in half a month."
"Um... huni player is very confident. It seems that you are very confident to defeat ym." Yu Shuang looked a little surprised.
The MSI Mid-Season Invitational is the second largest global LoL event after the LoL Global Finals. It was officially held in 2015.
The teams participating in MSI are all spring champions of their respective divisions. The strong showdown can be called a feast of kings.
Winning the MSI championship is not only an honor for the club, but also an honor for this division.
The first MSI champion was the 2015 LPL Spring Championship champion edg. At that time, this luxury battleship composed of fat general, factory director, and deft, on the MSI stage, defeated skt t1 led by the rising Lee Sang Hyuk head-on.
That year, it was this MSI championship that gave the LPL audience unlimited hope. However, in the S competition that year, the championship still fell into the hands of SKT, which became a starry regret.
Among the current five major regions, lck, lpl, North America, Europe, and LMS, the lck is the region that has won the most MSI championships.
The corners of the mouth on Huni's fat face were slightly raised, looking very confident, but the little peanut beside him was a little uncomfortable.
This statement sounds like humor, but in fact, it is also a bit arrogant.
From his tone, it seemed that he didn't take the ym team seriously.
However, huni does have something to be proud of.
Because he was in SKT last year and won the MSI championship. Compared with many LPL players, Huni's honor alone is enough to surpass them.
The barrage in the live broadcast room.
[I have to say that although I really don’t like Huni as a person, the performance of the three players today was indeed at a thigh level, and the emperor never had the upper hand in front of him for a second]
[It’s a pity that Uzi is not here in the spring game. The wave of Dragon Pit just now, it really feels like there is only one Uzi missing. It is not impossible for rng to let two chase three]
[It’s no surprise that EDG reached the finals. This year’s regular season victory was already terrible. Although they only played three games in the playoffs, I feel that they are even stronger than the regular season]
[Looking at ym like this, it feels a bit suspenseful. Although they were all three to zero, ym winning every game yesterday was so thrilling, while edg basically crushed them without any suspense, so the gap is still a bit big]
[Ym should not be defeated three to zero in the finals. After all, Jiangsu University is here, but if you want to say that he can beat Huni online, I don’t think it is realistic. At most, it will be a 50-50 split]
Judging from the trend in the comment area, most of them think that there is no problem for edg to win ym.
In the history of the LPL, no team from the secondary league has ever won the league championship in its first season in the LPL.
In the history of e-sports, only Faker, who debuted in 2013, has achieved such an achievement, but in that ancient era, e-sports was far from as mature as it is now.
What's more, this year, YM's opponent is EDG, which has surpassed its peak in 2015.
In this round of the series, ym is still the underdog.
…
ym base.
After watching the game, the players stretched and moved their bodies and prepared to go out for dinner.
"This fat guy is too arrogant. I will slap you in the face next week." Zhang Xiaowen bared his teeth at huni on the screen.
Gu Xian
Su Chen patted his head and said with a smile: "Your opponent is meiko, just leave huni to me."
"I have to talk to Mr. Guo," Xiaotian twisted his neck, "He suppressed the little peanut on the third stroke. I have to ask him for advice."
"Left hand, what did Scout say?" After Xiaotian finished speaking, he glanced at the left hand beside him.
"Let's go for 50-50, my cold suit score is higher than his." Zuo Zuo said seriously.
"My score at the top of the canyon is higher than that of the factory director, so you just stand out and force yourself." Xiaotian rolled his eyes.
Everyone walked out of the lounge noisily.
Su Chen and Meng Ma looked at each other, with smiles on each other's faces.
After watching the game, everyone in ym felt how powerful their opponent edg was.
However, after the battle with We, Xiaotian, Zuo Zuo, Zhang Xiaowen, and even Bovy have all grown up.
If you want to be a member of a championship team, the first thing you must possess, rather than ability, is unbreakable confidence.
…
A few days after the lpl conference finals.
In various cities around the world and on the soil of other competition regions, their respective finals have been concluded one after another, and this year's Spring Split champion was born.
Monday, North American Division.
The winner of the spring championship is the tsm team led by the living fossil player of the division, doublelift (big brother). Ever since he entered the professional circle in 2012, he has been regarded as a signature in the North American division.
On the stage of the finals, the senior brother raised the trophy high and made a bold ambition to win the MSI championship.
Tuesday, European Division.
At the Sports Center in Budapest, Hungary, the G2 team, led by the talented European mid laner Perks, finally defeated last year's summer champion FNC after five rounds of fierce battles, successfully took revenge, and advanced to the MSI Global Mid-Season Invitational.
After the game, the boss of the g2 team directly promised on Twitter that if g2 can win the MSI championship, then he will build a statue for each of the five current players in front of the g2 base in Spain.
On Wednesday, LMS's division champion was Sh Wolf (Flash Wolves). This is the first time the Flash Wolves have won the league championship.
After Kasa, the team's biggest player, went to the LPL division to join rng, the Flash Wolves were still stunned.
It always gives people the feeling that the LMS division is like a team.
Kings from all over the world, in addition to enjoying the joy of victory, are also paying attention to the competition between the other two of the current five major competition areas, LCK and LPL.
On Thursday, the lck division finals quietly started.
The showdown in the lck spring finals is between the skt team, led by faker, and the Samsung team, which has been renamed geng.
At the Bird's Nest in China last year, Samsung defeated Faker and his SKT, ending the two-year SKT dynasty and winning the 2017 S-League championship.
This year, despite the fact that the team's top and jungle players, Huni and Peanut left the LPL, the entire spring split team lineup was extremely unstable.
However, Lee Sang Hyuk (Faker) still carried SKT to the stage of the LCK Spring Finals, trying to avenge Samsung who defeated them last year.
In the opening scene, Lee Sang Hyuk, dressed in black, was bathed in the light, his expression extremely indifferent, and his eyes full of fighting spirit.
He still wants to prove that he is the strongest player in the LoL world.
However, this year's Samsung has changed its top laner and introduced the world's top laner Khan (Khan), and its strength has even improved to a higher level than last year.
The newcomers appointed by skt to the jungle did not perform satisfactorily in the game.
Although Faker led SKT to a comeback in five games, one with Tsar and one with Ryze, they still lost to Samsung Geng with a score of 2 to 3 and missed the MSI.
This is the first time since 2015 that faker has missed an international competition.
After being defeated by Samsung twice in a row, Faker did not lose his composure like last year when he leaned over and cried bitterly in the Bird's Nest. Instead, he quietly rolled up his keyboard and mouse and prepared to leave.
The LCK roaring emperor who was commentating on the spot was also a little moved when he saw Faker's expression.
"It may be hard for us to believe that the faker player who was once known as a god in the lol world would now have such a fragile side. He still upholds the dignity of being the first person in lol history. However, in this era, it has
It doesn't belong to him anymore."
"In the face of Father Time, perhaps all greatness will eventually wither. Today's Faker is still an excellent player, but he is no longer a god in this world."
Just before the faker player was about to leave, a very controversial scene occurred at the scene.
A staff member of the Samsung team gave Faker a thumbs-down gesture with a proud smile on his face.
This extremely disrespectful move also triggered extensive discussions on the Internet, and someone later revealed that the staff member had previously worked for SKT, but later left SKT due to a job transfer.
His move was actually to vent his anger to SKT, and he just brought faker along with him. However, this was also an extremely rude behavior.
…
That night.
faker is at the base and starts the live broadcast.
Although his spring split has ended, it was because the team signed a contract with Dousha TV.
He still has unfinished live broadcast time this month.
He hopes to finish these tasks before going home for the holidays.
In tonight's live broadcast, faker did not turn on the camera and just played the game silently.
On the barrage in the live broadcast room, viewers expressed their comfort to him and their dissatisfaction with the Samsung controversy.
However, faker just keeps repeating it, hoping that everyone will not care about things outside the game, and still politely thank you after receiving the gift.
Ranking continued until three o'clock in the morning, and faker still had no intention of stopping and continued to play the next game.
The audience left one after another, and even the girl who was responsible for translating in the live broadcast room couldn't help but yawned.
There is no expression on Faker's face in front of the screen. Only through continuous ranking can he temporarily forget the defeat during the day and dilute the crying in his heart.
After letting out a slight sigh, faker took a sip of water and prepared to continue the next game.
Whether there is an audience watching or not, he will continue until his energy is exhausted.
At this time, someone sent a private message in the friend's chat window.
