On May 22, KT and MAD started competing for the last final ticket at the National Sports Center of Iceland.
The entire KT team is already waiting in the lounge.
For KT, this is the first time MSI has encountered an offline competition. Because this year's LCK Spring Split is all online, MSI's semi-finals are the first time they have played BO5 offline. Everyone's emotions are inevitably slightly different.
.
Of course, everyone is an experienced player, so they are not too nervous.
The atmosphere in the lounge before the game was not as cheerful as usual, nor was it dull. The players were chatting, playing on their mobile phones, and the players were passing the time in their own ways.
It was just after nine o'clock in the evening Korean time, and a large family in Seoul had already gathered in the living room to watch Lin Cheng's game.
"You can only watch it for half an hour, and then go to sleep obediently."
"But uncle hasn't come out yet. What if there is no Enxi behind to cheer and uncle loses? Sister~~~~"
The little girl knelt on the floor and looked at the two sisters eagerly.
Enxi also understands the principle of saving the country through curves. She knows that she can't even speak a longer sentence. It is too difficult to convince her mother, so it is better to ask her sisters for help.
The little girl wrinkled her nose and was so adorable that Han Shuyan couldn't help but touch her little head, "Then let's let uncle win early, okay? After winning, Enxi will go to rest obediently."
"Uh-huh."
The little girl nodded desperately, and then looked at her mother carefully.
If it was Lin Cheng who begged for mercy, Zheng Siyan might have told Lin Cheng to shut up with a straight face, but her attitude towards Han Seoyan was much softer.
"Then~~~don't hold on when you feel sleepy later."
"Yeah! Long live mom!"
The little girl raised her hands and cheered, while Xiao Tong took the opportunity to boo.
"Can Eunxi perform a show for us? Just think of it as cheering for your uncle."
Enxi was a little embarrassed, but after hearing that she was cheering for Lin Cheng, she still tried her best to use her little arms and short legs to twist and perform a set of tortoise punches that she learned from Lin Cheng.
After receiving a round of applause, the little girl quickly buried her head in Sister Yan's arms in embarrassment.
Xiao Tong sent a message to Lin Cheng.
Enxi is clamoring to watch your game. You'd better get off work at 3:00 early, otherwise Enxi won't be able to endure it.
Lin Cheng: I obey, my dear wife! (Salute)
Xiao Tong: Get out!
The little wife's mouth was still as vicious as ever. Lin Cheng was about to continue teasing a few words when he received a blessing from Park Ji-yeon.
Jiyeon: Come on, we are all watching your game, please do better.
Lin Cheng: OK.
Today, Ji-yeon happened to get together with her three sisters. The four of them had dinner and chatted for a while. Ji-yeon found the MSI Korean streaming channel on TV.
Although others were not interested in the game, the advertisement at the beginning of the Korean stream still attracted their attention.
Unlike the Chinese stream, which sells yogurt and mobile phones at the beginning, the Korean stream, in addition to promoting MSI’s official car brand Mercedes-Benz, mainly uses the war song to attract traffic to Spotify.
"Each MSI team has chosen its own battle song this time. These songs can be found on Spotify's official League of Legends playlist. If you are interested, you can listen to it."
"KT, who represents our LCK, chose the battle song "Tiamo", sung by Tara. Many viewers should still have an impression of this group, right?"
"This song expresses a kind of gratitude to the fans for never giving up. The intention is very profound. It is said that this song was personally chosen by Cheng. I believe that KT fans will be able to feel his heart."
It’s really hard to explain Korean music. Lin Cheng chose a song at random and forced them to explain it with a deeper meaning. Even the original singers were dumbfounded.
Lin said in the group that he chose this song purely because he liked the melody of the song, without any deep meaning.
This song is not widely sung among Tara's works, and its reviews are average. Most of their fans will not even think of this song when they mention their masterpiece. The only reason they can think of it is because this song is composed by the six of them.
The group's final return.
And just because Lin Cheng chose this song as KT's battle song, "Tiamo" even became a hot search topic on Korean websites during this period. Now everyone knows which Korean song Lin Cheng likes the most.
"Hey! Lin Cheng's publicity effect is really good."
Juli poked Zhiyan and said, "Next time you release a song, ask him to help."
Zhiyan said with a smile: "Go and tell him what he ordered me to do?"
"I'm not familiar with him."
Jiyeon joked: "How about we let the five of us come back instead of letting him wear women's clothes?"
"What a great idea! It will definitely sell well."
"Just let him be a vase in the MV. Don't open your mouth."
Zhiyan was dumbfounded.
She was just joking casually, but she didn't expect the three sisters to actually discuss the feasibility.
······
Half an hour before the game, the Chinese streaming screen finished playing the promotional video and then cut to the studio.
Sitting in the Chinese stream commentary booth today are the three Yin-Yang masters who triggered the three bonds of Yin-Yang Master, Ze Yuan, remember, Cat.
Remember: "Okay! Dear summoners, welcome to the schedule for the second day of the 2021 League of Legends Mid-Season Championship semi-finals. I am the commentator."
Zeyuan: "Hello everyone, I am Zeyuan."
Cat: "Hello everyone, I'm Cat."
Remember: "In yesterday's game, RNG from our LPL division has taken the lead in getting a spot in the finals. Today, viewers can relax and study the opponents in the finals together."
Zeyuan: "Actually, before the start of MSI, the two teams that the outside world was most optimistic about were KT and RNG. At present, it seems that these two teams have a high probability of reaching the finals."
Cat: "Okay! You don't think of me as MAD, do you? You helped KT book a spot in the finals before the semi-finals even started?"
Since there is no LPL team anyway, Zeyuan felt so angry that he felt no pressure: "No way? Does anyone really think that MAD can eliminate KT?"
"After two matches, I really don't see MAD having a chance to defeat KT. You didn't kill Brother Orange even once. Why do you think KT will lose?"
Some people started to scold Han Za in the barrage, but more people were thanking the colonel for his spell.
At this moment, they believed that Zeyuan was still emotionally towards RNG.
Remember: "Before the analysis officially started, the director indicated that there would be a short pre-game interview video to see what the players from the two teams had to say."
After the words fell, the director cut out the short video screen.
Lin Cheng sat next to the background wall with the MSI logo printed on it, looking at the camera sincerely.
"This year's trip to Iceland was a very unique experience. I would like to thank everyone for their efforts in fighting the epidemic. I also hope that the viewers in front of the screen will be in good health."
"We won everything in the past year, but the club's honor room still made me feel that something was missing. Then I realized that there was an MSI trophy missing."
"I promised the fans that I would fill the club's honor room. This time I will personally engrave KT's name on the MSI trophy."
