Chapter 305 Why did you lose before the game was played?
Saturday, October 21st.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the quarter-finals between we and Samsung is about to begin.
The opponents are the third seeds of lpl and lck respectively.
Before the game, many viewers thought that both sides were about the same strength, and some LPL viewers even thought that WE had a greater chance of winning.
The reason why I feel this way is simply because Samsung was double-killed by rng in the group stage.
It’s just that it’s been more than 20 days since the World Championship started, and every team is constantly making progress. You can’t look at a team with the same old eyes.
Besides, bo1 games actually don’t have much reference value.
Teams that have played training matches with Samsung recently all know that the current Samsung team is very strong.
Their understanding of the version and the compatibility of their playing style with the version are very high.
However, we still have to fight to know the real result.
Training is never as convincing as a formal game.
This involves a lot of mentality and on-the-spot performance.
...
Since we were the first to qualify in the group, one more team had priority in choosing the side. In the first round, we chose the blue side.
In the first round of BP, neither side banned any hero from Xia Luo.
We also grabbed Luo on the first floor of the blue square.
If the two heroes Xia Luo cannot be combined, take one separately. In the current version, it is generally believed that Luo has higher priority than Xia Luo.
Surprisingly, the red side Samsung did not choose Xia on the first and second floors, but chose Xiao Pao as the adc.
This is to give the Xia Luo combination to we.
I don’t know if Samsung is too confident or too arrogant in letting Xia Luo go.
Naturally, we were not polite and quickly selected Xia.
In addition to Xia Luo, we also selected the mid laner Grasshopper in this game.
Malzahar is a mid laner who suddenly became popular during the knockout stages.
However, this hero is really easy to use, clears the line quickly, does high damage in team battles, and is easy to operate.
There is also a big move that can suppress you at a certain point, forcing you to waste money and mercury early on.
It is quite in line with the current trend of mid laners gradually becoming tool players in the current version.
After giving Xia Luo and Malzahar to us, Samsung reaped the consequences.
The bottom lane was directly killed by Xia Luo.
In the end, it only took 27 minutes, and we won the first game of bo5 overwhelmingly.
This can't help but excite the majority of LPL viewers.
It’s just that the players from the other two LPL teams, rng and omg, who are watching this game at this time, all know that this game is not optimistic yet.
We can win purely because Xia Luo is too strong, and it will be impossible to get Xia Luo later.
Sure enough, in the second game, Samsung on the blue side directly banned all Xialuo.
Banning Luo is expected, but the blue side also bans Xia. Doesn't it mean that Emperor Chi doesn't know how to play Xia?
King Chi chose Varus this time.
Not only this game, after the first game, King Chi played three consecutive games of Varus.
In these three games, the trend throughout the game is basically the same.
We were completely unable to withstand Samsung's cannibalizing attack, which was like boiling a frog in warm water. Samsung's vision suppression, team coordination, and use of any vision advantage made us breathless.
For three consecutive games, we lost the game in the same way, with no way to break it.
Samsung let one chase three, defeated we, and advanced to the semi-finals.
Although the score was three to one and Samsung lost one game, all viewers who watched the game would have an intuitive feeling that Samsung won easily.
In a hotel in Yangcheng, in the OMG training room, Mingzhe frowned after watching the game.
The strength shown by Samsung today was beyond his imagination. If OMG encountered it, would it be managed to death like WE, with no way to break the situation?
Then Mingzhe shook his head and laughed at himself.
Why do you think so far ahead? Let's think carefully about tomorrow's opponent Longzhu. Currently, Longzhu is the number one favorite to win the championship.
...
After We lost to Samsung, LPL viewers also became pessimistic in Tieba, Weibo and other places.
Is the Korean team really that strong? How to fight?
The reason why the majority of LPL viewers have such pessimism is not only the LPL's poor World Championship record in the past two years.
The reason is that even though Samsung showed very strong strength today, in the minds of LPL viewers, Samsung's strength is not as good as SKT and Longzhu.
It’s so difficult to beat a three-star team. How should RNG beat SKT in the semi-finals?
How will OMG beat No. 1 seed Longzhu in LCK tomorrow?
Reasonable LPL viewers have all realized that today's Samsung team is basically the same team as the Samsung team that was double-killed by RNG in the group stage.
However, at present, the audience is not able to make an accurate division of the strength of these three teams in this year's lck.
LPL viewers generally believe that SKT and Longzhu are stronger than Samsung.
Although skt played five games in the quarterfinals against the Rabbitohs, he had the aura of a triple crown, so the LPL audience couldn't help but think less of him.
Longzhu has not played bo5 yet, but how can the No. 1 seed of lck, which has won the group stage, be easy to deal with?
Therefore, pessimism could not be suppressed and spread among the LPL audience.
Everyone thinks that tomorrow's match between OMG and Longzhu will be very unlucky. Even OMG fans don't have much confidence in tomorrow's game.
Only a few people still have confidence in omg. In the quarterfinals of S4, omg faced the cold country team najin white shield. They were also not optimistic before the game. In the end, they defeated najin white shield 3-0.
omg I have never been afraid of a team from the Han Kingdom.
However, these voices were only a minority after all, and were quickly drowned out.
So after we lost to Samsung today, in just a few hours, a very strange public opinion situation appeared on the Internet.
It's like lpl has only rng left, and lpl's last hope can only be pinned on rng.
omg fans also expressed their confusion:
I'm thinking that OMG's quarterfinals haven't even started yet! Does this mean that we can't beat Dragon Ball and will be eliminated by Dragon Ball?
To say that this trend of public opinion was not deliberately guided by people with ulterior motives, I would not believe it even if you tell me.
If you really wait for OMG to be eliminated by Dragon Ball tomorrow, it won't be too late to market LPL's last hope!
What's the rush?
Some people, please don’t worry!
What about the promised unity? How can we do some small tricks behind the scenes?
Sure enough, the most united global finals in the history of LPL is just talk.
After all, this is just a competition between clubs and teams, and the essential goal of running a club is to make money.
If you have money to make, it doesn’t matter what means you use!
Of course, the operation of guiding public opinion can only be carried out in online communities where many players gather.
There are more LPL viewers who just watch the game and don't care about other things. They still cheer for OMG who will face Longzhu tomorrow with simple emotions, and also for RNG who will face SKT in the semi-finals a week later.
come on.
As long as it is not a civil war in the LPL, they will definitely support the LPL team.
