The Korean team used KT's tactics to raise Zeus like crazy, but the Chinese team treated KT's core Lin Cheng like a dog.
The contrast is strong, Cheng Za is already sharpening his knife and getting ready.
Just waiting for an opportunity to attack, EDG's badass coaching staff will know what cruelty means.
All the quarter-finals were played in one day, and there was no upset. The four obviously stronger teams all advanced 2:0.
China, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Vietnam.
They happen to be the four regional representative teams with the highest level of Asian LOL.
Without a chance to rest, the semi-finals began on September 28th.
The first game to start at 9 a.m. is the match between South Korea and Taipei.
The intensity of the confrontation finally increased, and the enthusiasm of the audience became even higher.
Except for the Taipei team's top laner, who plays for PCS' Rest, the rest of the players are all from the LPL. Many Chinese spectators were cheering for the Taipei team.
It's a pity that the gap between the two sides is still obvious. Taipei's entire team is estimated to be ranked around the playoffs in the LPL, but South Korea is the top group of players in the entire LCK.
2:0, South Korea easily completed the sweep.
Zeus plays very comfortably under the current Korean team's system, and there is a huge top lane gap between the two.
Korean commentators have gone crazy.
"This is player Choi Woo-chi! God King Zeus is on the road!"
"I must say, I saw the shadow of God in him in this BO3."
"We have always been looking forward to Zeus Cheng as the next Cheng! With the blessing of KT's tactical system, he really has the shadow of Cheng."
"Come on! Next is the final!"
"Go up to Cheng and defeat him openly!"
The audience also discovered that this Korean team is surprisingly strong.
Theoretically, the Taipei team was strong enough. Even if they couldn't beat them, they should still cause some trouble for the opponent. As a result, they were beaten brutally in two rounds.
After analysis by many people after yesterday's game, more and more viewers have reacted.
This Korean team is indeed using KT's tactics.
Even though KT's coaching staff didn't come, after all, three of South Korea's starting players were teammates who dominated the world with Lin Cheng last year. They are very familiar with KT's style of play.
Keria was even more impressive than Effort's performance in KT last year. The four of them formed a framework that was extremely suitable for KT's play style. The only significant change was the core top laner.
Compared to Lin Cheng, Zeus is indeed not versatile enough, and his personal abilities are also slightly inferior.
But it depends on who you compare with.
Compared to others, Zeus is the top top laner, even though he is still so young.
The Korean team is making great progress using KT's style of play, and now the pressure is on the Chinese team.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the battle for the last final ticket between China and Vietnam began.
The game was broadcast live on CCTV and was narrated by CCTV anchor Sheng Zhaobo and Miller.
The BGM of "A Thousand Years of Waiting" was playing at the scene, and the players entered the scene. Lin Cheng, wearing a red national team jacket sponsored by Anta, led the way.
The cheers in Chinese throughout the stadium and the flags of 45 Asian countries hanging above the surrounding auditoriums all tell the difference between playing in club games.
CHINA
What is printed on the back of the team uniform is no longer the game ID, but the country's affiliation. Even the Chinese stream commentators will call the players by their real names.
Listening to the cheers at the scene, Lin Cheng subconsciously glanced at the audience.
Unfortunately, no trace of concern was found.
The competition venue is large, but there are not many open seats. There are at least three empty seats between the spectators, so it is still too difficult to find someone at the same time.
At this moment, Wanwan was sitting in the middle seat on the side of the auditorium, happily waving a light stick.
"Come on Lin Cheng! You must work hard!"
Colleagues had already invited Wanwan to come with them to watch the Asian Games. Rita had just posted photos of the event on Weibo, but Wanwan declined the invitation from her colleagues and chose to come secretly alone.
I wanted to give Lin Cheng a surprise, but I also had a little bit of thought behind it.
Although Lin Cheng had previously said that he would go to Shanghai to find her, after all, he really had no time to spare during the training period to prepare for the Asian Games, so Wanwan chose to come to Hangzhou on his own initiative.
This is not free of charge!
Lin Cheng finally participated in important competitions in China, and Wanwan didn't want to miss the opportunity to support him on the spot.
But compared to two years ago in Shanghai, Wanwan's stance has changed slightly now.
It’s not just fans!
Looking at Lin Cheng's slender and tall figure on the stage, Wanwan was waving a light stick, her eyes were slightly squinted, filled with inexplicable emotions.
Really handsome!
Thinking of the three short days we spent together in Korea, the girl couldn't help but feel happy.
The story that happened in the tent suddenly came to mind again. When he remembered Lin Cheng's preference for the legs wrapped in his stockings, his delicate toes were quietly buckled in the shoes.
Wanwan the devil is shy.
The host began to introduce the contestants, and Lin Cheng turned around and waved around.
"On the road is player Lin Cheng. He is the most dominant player in the past three years. He has won all League of Legends international competition championships and the Korean LCK League championship in the past three years."
"You heard that right! This player does not play in our Chinese League of Legends League LPL, but competes in the South Korean LCK League."
"He is the captain of the KT team and the absolute core. He is also called the God of the Canyon by countless players."
"As I introduced before, League of Legends is a game of 5V5 confrontation in Summoner's Rift. Such a title is enough to prove this player's status in the hearts of players."
Following the deep voice of the CCTV host, many viewers who were simply joining in the fun were shocked.
Originally, I just came to watch the fun and see where Lin Cheng, who has been causing trouble among fans recently, comes from. The series of introductions made by the host really made people dizzy.
Canyon God has never lost a championship trophy in his career. It is said that he is the only foreign player in the Korean LCK, which is also the strongest division. A Chinese in the Korean team has countless fans worshiping him...
What kind of magical plot is this?
"Haha! The host has done a lot of homework, but it always feels like an endorsement"
"If you don't understand, just ask, isn't the God of the Canyon who Brother Cheng calls himself? (Funny)"
"It was true at first, but then everyone admitted it (dog head)"
"It sounds really awesome, equivalent to e-sports Malone?"
"Anyway, it's not e-sports Wu Laoer (Insidious)"
On weekdays, the audience who watch e-sports events basically have a gaming background, but the Asian Games is different. Many people just join in the fun and watch.
There were a lot of noobs in the barrage, and even ridiculous-looking questions appeared.
It's rare that e-sports audiences have become polite and patiently explain to those who don't understand the game how awesome Lin Cheng is.
The barrage is friendly.
If it were replaced by an e-sports live broadcast room, barrages such as "Draining Dog" and "Rice Circle Mu Ren who doesn't even have a client" and "Brother Chengzi doesn't know where the valuables come from" would have dominated the screen.
After all, it is a live broadcast on CCTV, so the resistance fighters have to subconsciously pay attention to their quality when they come.
Of course, the politeness is only temporary. When the game starts, these guys who are used to jumping around the family tree will definitely be exposed.
The host's introduction to Lin Cheng was very lengthy. In the camera, Lin Cheng said hello but seemed a little absent-minded. He kept scanning the audience as if he was looking for something.
I noticed that Lin Cheng turned his head and seemed to be looking towards the audience, Wanwan smiled and covered his face with a light stick.
