On the morning of October 30th, the entire omg team arrived at the Magic City Airport and boarded a plane bound for the Imperial Capital.
The distance between the two places is not particularly long. It is a quick flight and we will arrive at noon.
Then they arrived at the hotel arranged by the club in advance. After putting away their luggage and belongings, the team members found the training room according to the address sent by the team leader in the group.
It's not far from the room where the team members sleep.
We only advanced to the finals last night. After arriving in the Imperial City today, the training room has been set up. The team's logistics are quite in place.
After all, various teams have had many incidents in the past where they were forced to train in Internet cafes because they only had a place to sleep and no place to train, similar to competing in remote locations.
In fact, the team leader only informed the group of the location of the training room, and did not notify the players to assemble. The head coach Mingzhe did not arrange training tasks at this time. He also did not notify the players to assemble in the training room, and also specifically told the players to gather in the training room today.
Make your own arrangements for the rest of the time.
But not long after arriving at the hotel, Lu Chen and his teammates came to the training room one after another.
It completely became a subconscious move.
Lu Chen looked at his teammates who entered the training room one after another. The corners of his mouth raised higher and higher, and an undisguised smile appeared on his face.
Very good, it seems that everyone's desire to win is extremely strong.
During the World Championships, under Lu Chen's "teaching by words and deeds", there is a truth that has become deeply rooted in people's hearts.
That is, every game should be played as the only opportunity in this life.
E-sports players have a short career and it is not easy to meet a few suitable teammates.
When everyone comes together, since there is a chance to achieve results, we should strengthen our beliefs and try our best.
If you are eliminated due to some non-competitive factors, there is no use regretting it later. You may never reach the heights you achieved at that time.
...
After greeting each other, they turned on their computers and opened the League of Legends client.
It's just that everyone's movements were inevitably a little hesitant, because they suddenly didn't know what to do.
The global finals have reached this level, and the schedule has passed for more than a month, with only the last finals left to be played.
To be honest, whether it is the players of OMG or the players of OMG's opponent SKT, playing ranked at this time, apart from maintaining the feel, basically has no training effect.
After more than a month of competition, no matter which League of Legends server around the world, its version progress has exceeded the World Championship version by at least two versions.
What can really have a training effect is training games.
However, everyone in the training room thought for a moment and realized that they had no training games to play now.
So far in this global finals, only two teams, omg and skt, are left, and the other eliminated teams have all taken a vacation.
Who do you want to ask for a training match?
Looking for the last eliminated rng in the lpl team?
It seems like everyone has been playing chicken all day and night!
Who has the time to train with you?
It is said that this is the most united World Championship in LPL, but that was only before they were eliminated.
After being eliminated, you can do whatever you want. Who are you?
It's obviously unrealistic to ask skt to arrange a training match. Even if they agree, you don't dare to go!
Not to mention the two teams are from different divisions.
Before the semi-finals started, Samsung and SKT must have played a lot of training games, just like the same.
If in the semi-final between OMG and Samsung, Samsung advanced, and now Samsung and SKT are about to face off in the final, then at this point in time, the two teams will definitely not play training matches.
Regardless of how many training matches the two teams have played with each other before, once they are determined to be life-and-death opponents, it will be impossible to train with each other.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Lu Chen found that the only option was to play ranked.
But there were still five or six days left for the finals. He had just traveled a long distance and had not been assigned any specific training tasks. Lu Chen's mentality was quite stable, but his teammates were inevitably a little impatient.
Especially when they think that their opponent in the final is SKT, it is impossible to say that they are not at all worried and nervous.
So Lu Chen suggested going out for a stroll, walking along the main streets of the imperial capital, and calming down his mind.
At the end of October and about to enter November in the Imperial Capital, the weather has become a bit cooler. Walking on the main road, except for the slightly bad air, everything else feels pretty good.
When all members of OMG were on the road, SKT did not conduct any training.
The skt team members who arrived in the imperial capital one day before omg were climbing the Great Wall at this time.
At this stage, skt's team members were also unable to completely concentrate on training. It was rare to come to the imperial capital, so they simply took a day to visit the Great Wall, one of the seven wonders of the world.
Just between the semi-finals and the final, skt had one more day of rest than omg.
At this time, these people from skt were talking and laughing on the Great Wall, obviously completely immersed in the travel mentality.
Going back to the topic mentioned earlier, after the current SKT team made it through the semi-finals and entered the finals, except for Faker, none of the other players were able to correct their mentality.
Huni and Peanut, the two people who came to SKT to "team up", are already very proud at this moment. They feel that most of the championship has been won and they can't escape.
Little Peanut thought to himself, this SKT is really ruthless. If you come here, you can enter the finals of the S competition, and you can win the championship of the S competition. It will be really nice to lie down.
If I had known that it was so easy to win the championship, why did I have to work so hard in Huya C? In the end, I didn’t lose directly to SKT in the S game?
It's better to get it right in one step and come directly to skt.
Little Peanut shook his head, and then thought: Brother Smeb, why do you have to save face and suffer the consequences? SKT took the initiative to recruit you, but you refused to "surrender" to the enemy, and insisted on going to KT to form a Galaxy Battleship with Mr. Dai. As a result, you even entered the World Championship.
Not coming.
Hehe, I am still wise, brother!
And the old brothers from Huya, oh, they changed their name to Dragon Ball this year, and they won the lck summer championship again.
It's really good, but so what? We didn't just stop at the quarterfinals in the S game, but were actually swept by the lpl team in the quarterfinals. It's such a shame for lck.
When we were in Huya last year, we played against the LPL No. 1 seed EDG in the quarter-finals of the S tournament. It wasn’t just clear love that we could hold in our hands and use at will!
Huni's mentality is similar to that of Little Peanut. The two of them were originally dean-level figures in their respective teams, but once they took the so-called shortcut, their mentality naturally changed drastically.
The enthusiasm I had at the beginning will definitely not be regained in a short time.
As for the two players in the bottom lane of SKT, Bang and Wolf, they simply won too many championships, were slacking off, tired of it, and no longer motivated.
In competitive sports, once you lose your energy and desire to win, you will never be able to pick it up again.
