Chapter 215: Semifinals on the way out for LMS in the new era
The semi-finals of the 2017 League of Legends Intercontinental Championship were planned to be held on the afternoon of July 8, and have now begun successfully.
Dear viewers, below is a detailed introduction to the data of the two competition areas.
The LMS independent division won the S2 League of Legends World Finals championship. The current participating teams include Flash Wolves, AHQ, JT and M17.
The pre-match data is as follows: No. 1 seed FW: currently ranked third, 4 wins and 2 losses, small game 8-5, winning rate 62%
Second seed Ahq: currently ranked fourth in the division, 3 wins and 3 losses, small game 8-7, winning rate 53%
No. 3 seed JT: Currently ranked second in the division, 5 wins and 1 loss, small game 11-2, winning rate 85%
No. 4 seed M17: Currently ranked seventh, 2 wins and 4 losses, small game 5-10, winning rate 33%
The total current record of the division: 14 wins and 10 losses, small game 32-24, winning rate 57%
The teams participating in the Baodao Division and the Korean Division Intercontinental Competition are selected as the top four in the Spring Split, which is different from the LPL Division.
LCK division
No. 1 seed SKT: Currently ranked 2nd, 7 wins and 1 loss, small game 14-4, winning rate 78%
No. 2 seed kt: currently ranked 3rd, 7 wins and 1 loss, small game 14-5, winning rate 74%
No. 3 seed SSG: Currently ranked 1st, 7 wins and 1 loss, small game 15-5, winning rate 75%

The total current record of the division: 22 wins and 10 losses, small game 45-29, winning rate 61%
From the perspective of competitiveness and team data, the Korean team is far ahead of the Baodao Division in terms of performance and personal strength.
This is a difficult but certainly spectacular semi-final that will go down in history. After an emergency meeting, the four teams in Baodao stated that they have come up with a set of practical and effective plans to deal with it.
In the pre-game interview, the Korean team stated that they would advance to the finals with a big score of three to zero. The defeat in the group stage was just a small probability event in probability science. The fundamental reason was the force majeure factors caused by the acclimatization of the island.
lead to.
Now the four teams have adjusted their status.
As soon as the video of player Feike, who was the main interviewee, was released, it triggered a huge discussion frenzy that day. Most League of Legends players believe that the current LCK is just one point ahead of the LMS division and sitting in second place.
You shouldn't have such a arrogant attitude.
At the same time, there are also elite Korean elements who have expressed 100% support for this.
They believe that BO1 and BO5 are not the same type of games. BO1 is full of variables, and it is impossible for an LMS team to win against the powerful Korean team Smecta in a BO5 game.
The prediction of three to zero has become the consensus of most people.
Now let's get back to the game.
"At the beginning of the game, the two teams did not know the order of the teams before the game. The Korean team sent out the powerful KT team in the first game out of the idea that it was bound to win the first victory. The LMS division sent the fourth seed M17 as the
response."
"Obviously, the LMS division is also using the strategy of my country's great military master Tian Ji. M17 showed its spirit of daring to sacrifice and take responsibility. It was the first to play and challenge the current second seed of LCK."
Viewers expressed their regrets, posting that they deeply regretted that M17, who died as a "lower horse" in the first game, could not face SKT.
The result of the game was no surprise. Even though the players tried their best, they still lost to a strong opponent. The KT team had high morale and the players were strong. M17 was defeated as expected in front of the well-trained and well-executed No. 1 player.
.
At the end of the handshake phase, there was thunderous applause. They were proud of M17, the heroic spirit of the division. The LPL division teams also watched the entire game carefully, expressing their guilt for not committing a crime other than war.
An insider revealed that the LMS division already knew the order of teams to be sent in the first LCK game through unknown means, and sending M17 was a well-thought-out choice.
The famous prediction master and LPL working emperor explained on Weibo.
Although the KT team lags behind SKT in the Spring Split, it has a strong early game style and fighting tactics in terms of strong versus weak performance. It is difficult for the LMS team to resist, so the KT team is a more difficult enemy to deal with than SKT.
.
The winner is in the second and third games.
In the second game, triple crown champion SKT will face the small EDG team!
The person in charge of the AHQ team, who is responsible for the order of appearance in the competition, said that he will take charge of the competition personally and will definitely win a victory for LMS.
"What are you muttering about?"
After changing clothes, Mingkai saw Qin Yu talking to himself alone, and could vaguely hear a sound similar to that of a news broadcast.
Am I hallucinating?
Interrupted by Ming Kai, Qin Yu looked at the two teams on the stage. During the draft session, SKT seemed not to realize the problem of their top laner.
"Nothing, I'm just wondering if LMS has a chance to overthrow the LCK."
"It's unlikely..."
"Do your best and obey destiny!"
He rubbed his face, not so confident in his suggestion.
You can still succeed if you use the routine once or twice, but the gap in overall strength is that after five games, three wins are a bit out of reach.
"How did you arrange the optimal solution?"
"M17 overcame KT in the first game. It doesn't matter whether they lose or not. KT is very good at beating opponents. Basically no team in the LMS division can defeat them."
"Not even Flash Wolf?"
"No, it's just a matter of team style and hard power."
"In the second game, we were able to let the AHQ team shackle the barbecue stall. The key point is whether the Flash Wolves can use their own style to defeat the three-star or MVP. Then AHQ will use this method to shackle the Korean team for another game, and the remaining JT will not be able to play.
It doesn’t matter anymore.”
According to the rules of the game, if a team is already behind 2:1 in the first four games, the team behind can send a team that has already played.
The key to victory lies with Flash Wolves. If they can win against LCK's Samsung or MVP, then there is a glimmer of hope for the LMS division. If they lose, then going home 3-1 will be an outcome that nothing can change.
"Relax, it doesn't matter if AHQ and our relationship help each other. Other teams going abroad can just let it happen. Our four teams work together sincerely and there will be no problem in playing the LCK in the finals."
"This is nothing like what you can say."
Qin Yu glanced at Ming Kai in surprise. When did his brother become more confident?
Ming Kai looked deeply at Qin Yu's teasing.
His eyes wandered into the distance, even though he couldn't clearly see the details on the competition stage.
"Can you win?"
"I only know that the current EDG does not want to lose, and will not lose to anyone."
…
The BP between the two teams ended, and the AHQ coach gave full play to the tactical system of strategic cooperation with EDG.
The blue side chose a formation system with Kledite as its core.
Regarding the AD position, player Xiaoan kept the content of the meeting in mind and chose the hero Rampage Loli without being superstitious. Instead, he took the initiative to determine the number one hero in the current version, Niyu-Xia.
The audience was satisfied with AHQ's solid BP.
In terms of junglers and support, AHQ respects the SKT team and is not proud or laissez-faire. They moved to Thresh and jungler Lee Sin through grabs and substitutions.
Facing their opponents, the Triple Crown champion SKT team did not want to expose too much of its tactical system and appeared conservative in its selection of players.
There is a certain conflict between the top laner Prince and the jungler Jiugong. The mid laner's plane is too late, and the defensive support Tahm in the bottom lane obviously gives up his own advantageous lane when he cooperates with Verus.
"The lineup is rubbish. If you choose it, there is a 70% chance of losing to EDG." As the two sides are about to enter the Summoner's Rift for an intimate debate, the SKT team regrets that it has not received the support of its fans.
At the same time, there are many dissatisfied views on the SKT team in Korean forums.
The game officially begins.
At the invitation of Lee Sin, the jungle king of the canyon, the rock bird arrived in the F6 area one step ahead of the line with the enemy's heroic bombardier.
Subsequently, with the joint efforts of both parties, Comrade Li Qing's speed of brushing F6 was greatly improved.
At the same time, the enemy wine barrel was still fighting against the six birds alone, and the Kuchi player did not help.
The blue side's jungle brushing efficiency at the beginning is improved.
Outside the court, player Ming Kai, a member of his LPL friendly team, discussed the situation with Qin Yu and reached consensus on a series of issues such as how to expand the advantageous game.
Comrade Qin Yu said that the relevant plan was delivered to the AHQ team in advance last night. What we should do at this time is to wait and wait slowly. We believe in our partners as our unwavering belief.
Manager Abramovich said that since establishing the competitive division partnership with the LCK, it has successfully achieved considerable results.
Both sides can achieve a new stage of rapid development. LPL regained the MSI championship and G2 also achieved outstanding results. The current AHQ support for the LMS division is a new perspective for the next step.
Manager Abu emphasized that we must maintain close communication with friendly competition areas and teams, refer to my country's table tennis operation methods, and improve the team's competition mechanism.
The AHQ team learned deeply yesterday.
The Ueno and jungle cooperation maintains good coordination in the team, and the two have further exchanges on the SKT team's top laner Prince.
For the sake of production safety, top laner Comrade Ziv invited assistant Comrade Thresh to participate in this event in advance.
In a three-on-one situation, the three of Ueno and Suke worked together to win the first blood. They have now successfully learned from each other and are of great significance to the LMS division's victory over the LCK division.
Top laner Klie said that the friendly regional cooperation and close teamwork were the key factors for him to obtain first blood. The team's voice resounded with the public's admiration for Nosuke and Nosuke.
At the same time, the captain reminded us that we must keep our faith and never forget the people who dug the wells, and we must never be two-faced villains.
The key to the game is to establish effective communication methods for each lane. The top lane can gain the advantage of the game before other partners. The next step to promote other lane strategies needs to be considered.
At that moment, Comrade Thresh returned to the bottom lane to assist Ni Yu and immediately informed the team of the cooldown status of the skills.
At the same time, this time our competitors are well-funded, powerful, and have a different tenacity than previous teams. Our team is only 400 gold ahead of the first blood. Blind arrogance is not advisable, and blind confidence can harm people.
If you want to further gain an advantage, you should proceed steadily and in an orderly manner.
Yanque from the middle lane expressed his high recognition and is willing to continue to work with the top lane to build a modern innovation canyon after level 6, and contribute valuable efforts to further expand the top lane and the team's advantages.
Since the matchup with the legendary player Feike in the middle lane, Yanque has adhered to the principle of controlling the lane and pushing the lane at the right time, focusing on preventing the enemy's capture route of Couch who got the explosive pack in about nine minutes. Attack the enemy personnel from the top, middle and bottom lanes.
Conduct a highly concentrated observation, and at the same time take advantage of the high mobility of Yanjai Level 6, give full play to our fine tradition of heroic combat, and tear apart the SKT team's defense line.
With the active cooperation of the five team members, the overall development of the team in the early stage was mainly steady and progressive, but Yanque knew that the Korean team had rich experience in post-processing and we should use our strengths and avoid weaknesses to strive to gain a greater advantage in the early stage. This also allowed Comrade Yanque to
During the wandering process, the thinking is clear and the direction is clear.
The four team members performed effectively and achieved remarkable results.
After capturing the movement of wine barrels in the wild, Comrade Yanque and Kled took the initiative to attack.
In the end, he completed the kill of the top laner Prince in the enemy's red zone team battle, and the jungler Jiugong fled in a panic.
But in terms of handling details, Feike player was like a magic needle in the sea, playing stably, and with excellent operation, he successfully replaced the head of our top single Kleit in the follow-up team support. In the later stage, the hero Kuchi has better development and is still
A huge challenge to our own side.
Comrade Yanque from the AHQ team emphasized in his voice that while doing their job well, all parties should strengthen their control of vision, have an awareness of the overall situation, be strict in self-discipline, and not be corrupted by the petty gains of one soldier or another. Strengthen the control of the field of vision.
With the layout of the big and small dragons' vision and the advantage in the top lane, Canyon Pioneer can invite jungler comrade Li Qing to go with him. The bottom lane duo should provide timely support after the lane push is completed.
At the same time, we will unswervingly walk out of the green and innovative game of the modern LMS competition area, and finally achieve the goal of winning the semi-finals. This is our ultimate goal until death.
The tasks ahead are arduous, but we should face them head on and display our hard-working spirit.
After the short team battle, we should implement the scanning ward inspection in the competition for resources in the wild area. At the same time, we require all relevant personnel, especially the assistant comrade Thresh, to always bring more real wards when going out.
The defense tower on the road has been destroyed by our Comrade Klie. At this moment, all personnel should strengthen their awareness of prevention, improve their ideological awareness and focus on teamwork.
In-depth study and improvement of S5 Jinx’s bad practices such as exploring the grass with his face.
Suddenly, he was having a friendly exchange with Jarvan IV near the top road and was attacked by enemy auxiliaries Tahm and Verus. During the continuous pursuit, although the Furious Knight rose up to resist, he was ultimately outnumbered because he was out of touch with his teammates. As of now,
This incident resulted in the sudden death of top laner Klie on the spot. The Rift Herald released in the middle lane was unable to gain further advantage. The bottom lane duo and the middle lane team gave up two minutes of development to defend the tower.
It is understood that the initiator of this attack, Player Feike, was not satisfied with the result. It can be seen from the enemy's actions that Player Feike also had the idea of launching bigger and more attacks.
As the game progresses, both sides win and lose.
The SKT team was shocked by the fighting power that AHQ exploded in front of them.
During the game, AHQ's top and jungle duo played the mainstay role, and the two played a major role in the team's victory. At the same time, the pressure on Feike players in the SKT team was huge. As time went by, the prince's role in contributing to the team gradually decreased.
, the damage of Verus in the AD position is also not as good as that of Xayah in the later stage.
Feike players know very well that if they want to win the game, they must make good use of the team's heroes and all the props, so that there are endless possibilities. Only through the unity of all parties can we achieve staged victory.
…
It's a pity that in the end AHQ was still unable to defeat the BBQ Stall, a giant in the league's e-sports history.
Forty minutes into the game, the economic gap between the two teams was kept at about 8,000. Although the Prince on the road was far less effective than Kled, he only needed one big move.
The same goes for Verus in the AD position. Tahm Kench chose to give up protecting AD and instead protect Feike, who was already equipped with divine equipment.
God, I still have the power to kill LMS in the intercontinental competition.
There is a saying that is indeed true, the LCK teams in the group stage and knockout stage have different talents.
Da Fei and his dynasty are indeed on the decline, but it is not something that AHq can overthrow.
While AHQ lost, Qin Yu's system mission of helping LMS defeat LCK basically failed.
Counting the two consecutive losses in the M17 and AHQ LMS divisions, although the Flash Wolves tried their best to defeat the fourth-seeded MVP, it was difficult to restore the decline of the LMS.
The Flash Wolves continued to appear in the fourth game, but just as Qin Yu thought before the game, the LCK sent KT, who was most suitable for playing against weak teams.
In thirty minutes, the big score of 21 to 4 ravaged the audience in the LMS division.
"Sorry, I failed your tactics."
At the end of the game, Xiao An ran to EDG's rest area and apologized to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu waved his hand.
"You have tried your best. It is a very dangerous behavior to deal with the barbecue stall in the later stage. What's more, he also got the current version of the aircraft with exaggerated strength in the later stage."
"See you at the Worlds."
'Okay, see you in the World Championships, you must kill them in the finals.'
“Korean Smecta’s face is disgusting.”
Several other team members also felt uncomfortable listening to LCK's slightly mocking interview outside the court.
"must!"
After sending a few people away, Ming Kai leaned over.
"How about our Comrade Zhuge Goutou express his thoughts?"
"What should I publish? I am sad and crying when my strategy fails, I doubt my life and my confidence is thwarted?"
It's a good idea that I'm not that fragile. No matter how good the tactics are and the routines are perfect, the people who execute them must not have any problems.
There is a gap in hard power between AHQ and barbecue stalls. G2 can win because the European guys are really good at operations and they also like to play tricks, so they are much better than LMS on the basis of accepting new routines.
Furthermore, in Tian Ji’s horse racing, the top horse must be able to beat other people’s medium horses, and the four-horse race basically eliminates the existence of top, middle and bottom gameplay.
Fist also understands the power of Chinese art of war.
Compete for the strongest division, rather than compete for the playing arrangements of the strongest coach.
But LCK's mouth is as tough as ever.
Da Fei said during the interview.
"In the finals, we don't think the LPL can pose any kind of threat to us. Last year and the year before that proved it. And from 2013 to now, the champion of the S competition is still our division, right?"
It has to be said that there are many LPL players who agree with Li Guapi’s remarks.
Although the little Heizi didn't dare to output EDG against the wind, they believed that they could at least get a victory, instead of ending the battle with 3-0 as Li Guapi said.
But the slaves who have been kneeling for a long time always believe that the LCK division is one level higher than the LPL.
Qin Yu just glanced at the interview booth, then turned and left, "I talked so much before the game, just don't continue to be arrogant after the game."
"This is what I like about the European competition. It's all about trouble. If you lose, you give up immediately. Even if you continue to get high next time, it'll be fine..."
