As a local venue with a capacity of 10,000 people in Qingdao, it is perfect for hosting German Cup matches.
Although nearly two months have passed since the S7 World Finals, the enthusiasm of domestic players continues to rise.
Before the game has even started, players on the Tieba forum have already made predictions about the German Cup schedule.
"Eight into four, JD.com beat IG, there is no suspense about this 2-0, Snake beat BLG... It's hard to say, novices are fighting each other, RW beat EDG... To be honest, EDG only played Luo Ge, not Factory.
Moreover, if the younger brother and Meiko are still in the same bad state in the World Championship, I don’t think they can beat RW. Considering that Brother Luo is here, let’s give it a 2 to 1.”
"In the end, WE will play SN, and WE feel that the chance of winning will be greater."
"The people above are conservative. I think EDG is here to train this time. RW is really not weak. Aguang can withstand pressure and Xiaofu leads the rhythm. Doinb in the middle knows all about it. QG's Korean power leveling skills back then were really strong.
Yes, the bottom lane... To be honest, I don’t know much about the support, but the old thief is also a veteran top ADC, and the urine EDG of the ADC in this version is really a bit confusing."
"This version of adc does rely more on teammates, but it doesn't mean there are no carry opportunities at all."
"League of Legends designer! You fucking killed me again!"
…
"The weather in Qingdao is really nice...if the sea breeze is a little lighter."
When meiko got out of the car, she wrapped herself into a rice dumpling.
"Who says it's not the case? The air is still humid and there is heating in winter. I want to buy an apartment here for my retirement when I get old."
Ming Kai rubbed his hands and said.
"This is not okay, Qi Jiang, LPL player No. 001, if you don't return home in the future, what will be the difference between you and Jin Yi Ye Xing?"
Li Luo smiled.
As a northerner, Li Luo is quite accustomed to the outside temperature in Qingdao in winter.
"Brother Kai, can I follow you to Jiangcheng for a bowl of hot dry noodles? I really like it."
Xiaotian also came up to join in the fun.
"I told you not to call me Brother Kai."
Ming Kai's face turned dark.
Brother Kai already has a name, and he doesn't want to get involved.
After glaring at Xiaotian, Mingkai said helplessly: "That place in Jiangcheng is really hot in summer and cold in winter. There is no heating yet. It's terrible."
“Heating, comfortable!”
Jin Gong, who came from behind, also smiled.
"After all, the organizer is a person. If we were to play in a venue in Shanghai, a box of hand warmers wouldn't even be enough for me."
Xiaotian rubbed his hands and breathed again.
"Let's go, go in first."
Life coach Zhu Kai urges.
The EDG team entered the venue in a grand manner.
Their match today is in the second game.
The IG team, which won last year's world championship, was scheduled for the opening match.
From eight to four, the two sides will engage in a wave of three battles, similar to the LPL regular season.
Therefore, the competition format of the German Cup does not seem too lengthy. As long as you can maintain your position in the winner's bracket and not fall into the loser's bracket, you only need to play a wave of 3 and a wave of 5 to advance to the finals.
In the backstage lounge.
Everyone in EDG was watching the game and discussing this version.
Another thing that makes Li Luo relatively comfortable in the EDG team is that the three-person tactical preparation team in the team can communicate without pressure.
They are all Chinese and all speak Chinese.
In contrast, the previous communication between Li Luo and Mafa required an interpreter, and the time cost of communicating with each other undoubtedly doubled. This is also the main reason why Li Luo and Mafa often discuss late at night, and together with
The translator also has to work overtime with me.
This problem no longer exists. Everyone, including the players, can communicate in Chinese for more than 50% of the time.
This is already very good for a team with Korean players.
It's just that the RW team they faced today was the same as them. Although they had two Korean players, but with the language genius doinb, there wouldn't be too many communication problems.
Moreover, RW’s Korean aid is in the middle and jungle, and the linkage between the two can be communicated in Korean.
In contrast, the coordination between the midfielder and jungler of the EDG team needs to be further improved.
The competition between IG and JD.com has begun.
The early and middle stages of the first game between the two sides were quite tense.
This is undoubtedly difficult for fans of the IG team to accept.
In the first 20 minutes, although the fight between the two sides was very bloody, a total of 22 people were killed on both sides.
However, some mistakes made by the IG team made it difficult for fans to accept.
Almost all fans of the IG team are looking forward to today's matchup because they are worried that after losing Li Luo, IG will become the same unstable person they hated in the past.
This high gap under high expectations will inevitably make many people sigh.
Game time is 23 minutes.
The shy Camille was caught stealing a blue and red buff.
When the JD team's jungler clid Mantis was attached to his top laner Shen's ultimate move, he directly activated his ultimate move to become invisible and pounce towards Theshy.
The damage caused by the explosion forced The shy to hand over the hook and cross the wall.
Clid followed closely and jumped over the wall to pursue Camille with an absolute advantage in health.
When the two sides chased to the river, as Mantis' W flashed Q, The shy's Camille instantly became bloodthirsty.
Theshy's Camille backhand big move connected with A, and then used up the stopwatch on his body.
Ding!
A soft chirping sound sounded.
The bloody Camille's golden body in situ.
"It's over."
At this moment, countless fans felt chilled.
However, some sharp-eyed fans noticed that other members of the IG team seemed to be beating Baron!
Wang Duoduo, who was in the commentary box, burst out with his own golden words: "The shy wants to buy time, and his teammates are beating the baron..."
The voice fell.
The shy's Camille dodges and pulls away in the opposite direction, and then kicks the cooled hook lock to the wall and then to the mantis. He raises his hand AQ to pick up Tiamat, completing an extremely extreme blood counterattack.
kill!
In an instant, the whole audience was shocked!
"Fuck!"
"Theshy!!!"
"This Camille is showing off to me!"
"666, IG is still strong in the midfield and midfield. The suppression power is maxed out."
"It's not a big problem, brothers. Although it's exciting, it's fun! IG is still the same IG. Even if Shine is gone, they are still the IG we like!"
This wave of counterattacks, coupled with the capture of the dragon, directly broke the previous economic balance.
Economic balance is secondary.
The key is that IG puts huge pressure on JD.com’s mentality.
Clid's whole body was numbed by the show.
After JD.com lost quickly in the first game, they obviously had not yet adjusted in the second game, and were directly sent to the loser group by the IG team with a score of 2-0.
IG, successfully promoted!
"Although the game was a little anxious, we can find that the IG team is still strong! Let us congratulate IG!"
In the commentary box, Wang Duoduo said with emotion: "The next game will be even more interesting. EDG will face RW. We all know that Brother Luo belonged to IG before, but now he belongs to EDG, and RW team's top laner
U-color used to belong to EDG, but now he belongs to RW!"
"Yes, matryoshka dolls belong to yes."
The commentator standing next to Wang Duoduo is Commentator 11.
The German Cup quarter-finals did not allow several heavyweight commentators to appear.
However, Wang Duoduo's unique commentary style and the eye-catching Eleven made the audience not have any negative feelings about this pair, if not like them.
Unlike hallucinations, the reputation among viewers is relatively poor. Many viewers even feel that they have been tricked when they see hallucinations appearing, and begin to have hallucinations. Hallucinations will make them involuntarily turn off the sound in the live broadcast room.
Lose.
During the halftime break of the game, in EDG's backstage lounge.
Looking at the players in front of him, Zhu Kaixin felt quite emotional.
He never thought before that he would one day be able to coach such an outstanding team.
Having been in EDG for some time, Zhu Kai has a certain understanding of everyone's temperament and temperament through his meticulous observation.
In his eyes, all EDG players, except Ming Kai, are full of vigor and vitality.
Mingkai is like a towering tree that protects the players from wind and rain.
He loves this team so much.
"Boys, today will be your first time playing with the new lineup."
After calming down, Zhu Kai said slowly: "I have seen everyone's training during this period. It is very hard, but what I want to say is that those who sow with tears will surely reap with smiles."
"For this game, I hope that everyone will not have too much pressure, but it cannot be without pressure. No matter what the result is, as long as we do what we should do, that will be enough."
"Although we live in the present, we all look forward. We had enough dominance in the past, and now we also have it. Come on!"
"EDG!"
"come on!"
The players get together.
Zhu Kai's words were extremely destructive to young people like them who were inexperienced in the world.
Xiaotian felt the blood boiling in his chest.
He can't wait for his first battle!
"come on!"
Everyone in EDG wore black uniforms and stepped onto the competition stage!
The RW team on the other side were wearing red and black uniforms. They looked quite serious when they took the stage, and the mid laner doinb was talking non-stop.
The five people sat down from the battle table. Before the BP started, everyone was closing their eyes and concentrating.
This is the method Zhu Kai taught them.
A way to adjust your condition to the best level before the game starts.
At this time, the scene was filled with Li Luo's personal fans.
There may be quite a few of them who don't like EDG's style of play. After all, the EDG team has really had a bad reputation in recent years.
It is not an exaggeration to say that an insider is an expert in civil war and an outsider is an outsider in foreign war.
The results of maintaining the top eight in the World Championship were pretty good, and the fans were used to it anyway.
But last year, the top 16 came.
Under such circumstances, even if Li Luo is present, it is difficult for them to be favored.
bp, it soon kicked off.
At the commentary table, Wang Duoduo and Shi Yi also started their own work.
"It's my first time commentating on Luo Ge's game. To be honest, I'm a little nervous."
"The same goes for me. Today is the EDG team, and it is also Luo Ge's first show in 2018. I hope Luo Ge can perform well, and I also hope that his opponent RW team can play a heroic style!"
While Wang Duoduo was talking, bans on both sides were already underway.
"The blue side RW team, the red side EDG team! RW's three ban positions are given to Zoe, Tsar and Ezreal respectively!"
"The EDG team has banned Ryze, Ornn and Tahm Kench respectively! In this case, Brother Luo's destiny master will be released!"
The tone of eleven suddenly rose.
Could it be that……
The two looked at each other and suddenly came up with a very bold idea.
Luo Ge’s first show in 2018 will be a fortune teller, right?!
Riots also began at the scene.
Obviously the audience is also looking forward to it, expecting Li Luo to be able to show off the hero who shocked the world but eventually became Xia Luo's tool.
However, they are bound to be disappointed.
Because the RW team instantly selects the fortune teller on the first floor!
"The fortune teller... The fortune teller of the old thief Sima has something to say! Apparently the old thief doesn't seem to be very convinced when facing Brother Luo!"
Wang Duoduo's voice suddenly rose.
The audience at the scene gave the old thief enough applause after a brief boo.
The old thief still has a lot of fans in the LPL.
The audience can see how powerful he is as a fortune teller.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the hearts of the audience, the old thief is the strongest fortune teller in the country besides Li Luo!
"Brother Luo, you have been provoked. Although I am not the one who provokes trouble, I will not tolerate it if this happens to me."
The garlic bastard started causing trouble again.
Li Luo also had a headache about this.
If he sat next to Xiaotian now, he would definitely give Xiaotian a slap on the head.
"The EDG team...first selected Kalista for Brother Luo, and then decided on Thresh! In this case, EDG is very proactive in the bottom lane."
It's the RW team's turn to choose.
The RW team has locked Camille and Galio on the second and third floors respectively!
"Jin Gong, do you want to choose a big tree?"
At the EDG battle table, Xiaotian looked at RW’s choice and said with a smile.
"Choose your Xibal."
Jin Gong responded mercilessly.
"You choose a big tree and I will go up there and help you catch it. You keep someone alive, and he will die once you catch him."
"Then all the heads will be given to you?"
Jin Gong snorted.
Abu smiled from behind.
Based on his understanding of Xiaotian, when he starts talking a lot, it means that he is in a state of "shallow nervousness".
He helps himself relieve stress by communicating with his teammates.
But Xiaotian would not say it directly. He felt that if he spoke out nervously, his teammates would become nervous too.
This is Gao Tianliang.
If Xiaotian can perform well in this state, his mentality will improve rapidly.
If something goes wrong, it will be more troublesome.
After all, it's the first show.
"Let's get the blind monk."
Thinking of this, Abu decided to choose a strong jungle hero for Xiaotian.
At least take the initiative in the jungle hero matchup.
The two sides entered the second round of banning.
The RW team continues to target the middle lane.
Press down all the rock birds that push the line faster and even Jace who has a strong line setting ability.
The EDG team, on the other hand, targeted Niutou and the jungler Prince without any hesitation.
The RW jungler is known as the prince’s signature unique skill brother.
In fact, according to Li Luo's impression, this prince does not need to be banned.
But if Abu is worried, it doesn’t matter if he gets banned.
They don't lack this ban position.
After the banning session was completely over, the EDG team on the fourth floor instantly selected the Trickster Enchantress.
"The Trickster Enchantress plus the blind monk's midfielder... It seems that EDG will give up the late team battles, and they will just play the early game! This is still relatively rare for the EDG team."
While Wang Duoduo was talking, the heroes on the fourth and fifth floors of the RW team had been locked down one after another.
Support, Titan!
Jungle, Mantis!
After their entire lineup was released, the EDG team abandoned their traditional skills for the first time and did not choose functional heroes like Dashu or Shen for the top laner.
Instead, Jin Gong selected a core hero who could protect him in the later stage.
captain!
In the commentary box.
"The lineups of both sides have been finalized! The blue team RW team, Kamil in the top lane, Jungle Mantis in the jungle, Galio in the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo is Destiny Master and Titan!"
"The red side EDG team, top laner Captain, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane duo Kalista paired with Thresh!"
"The players on both sides are ready, let's come together to welcome the first matchup between RW and EDG Wave 3!"
