"3 to 0! Let us congratulate the Thorn Birds team for advancing to the semi-finals with a complete victory!"
In the commentary box, Guan Zeyuan's Kang's excitement was not over yet: "We all know that last year's EDG delivered an unprecedented answer in the S game. At that time, we said that it might be difficult for any subsequent team to surpass this.
This is a legendary achievement.”
"But now, the Thorn Birds are moving step by step towards the record set by EDG last year, and Brother Luo is also trying to surpass their own record. Can they do it?!"
Although Zeyuan was speaking with great passion, the barrage had already exploded.
"Shut up Guan Zeyuan!"
"Damn it, I originally thought that the Thorn Birds had a chance this year, but now that the senior colonel has opened his mouth, I feel like it's gone this year."
“Brother Luo’s keyboard is covered with milk.”
"One thing to say is that this year's EDG is not weak. I was surprised by their performance in the World Championship. They were so stable."
"Upstairs, you assume that FPX will lose when playing against EDG, right?"
"FPX performed like that in the group stage. They will definitely lose against EDG. If he doesn't lose, I'll give shit on the live broadcast!"
…
Amid the discussion among the audience, Li Luo led a group of Thorn Birds people towards the DWG team's battle seat.
But Showmaker, who had been completely stunned before, had already stood up. Although he looked a little embarrassed and there were clear bloodshot eyes, Showmaker's expression was surprisingly calm.
Lower your head, bend slightly, and bend very low when shaking hands.
A trace of excitement flashed in Li Luo's eyes.
Xu Xiu.
Before the rebirth, Showmaker won the S10 world championship.
The posture they displayed at that time was very invincible and their dominance was fully demonstrated.
But Showmaker during the S9 era has not received much attention.
Li Luo once felt that although Showmaker's personal ability was outstanding, it was not particularly top-notch. In the finals, he had a back-and-forth match with Suning's mid laner Angel. You must know that the dominant mid laner in the LCK could do it.
Let the opponent's middle unit come down in a BO5 without any news.
However, the Black Angels did have a highlight in that BO5, and the reason why it was not mentioned later was because it was completely overshadowed by the "bright" light of the bottom lane adc.
If each player's rating is 10, then Li Luo feels that Showmaker's rating for each ability is around 9.
He is a top-notch player, but he seems to be a little short of the top.
It's not like mid laners with Showmaker's caliber haven't appeared in the past.
But putting aside the game, the impression given to Li Luo by Showmaker is completely different from other LCK players.
When the two shook hands, Li Luo could feel that the temperature of the latter's hand had returned to normal.
For professional players, if they want to know the opponent's mentality after the game, the temperature of their hands is often a relatively common indicator.
Most of the players who have deformed operations will have cold hands.
And it couldn't recover for a long time.
The same is true in life. When you suffer a major blow and have psychological problems, your hands will become cold.
However, Showmaker's hand temperature is normal. Compared to other DWG players, his hands are the only ones that are warm.
This shows that his mentality has gradually adjusted back, or that... he has accepted the fact that he failed.
Such people are terrible.
As long as his fighting spirit does not dissipate, such a rapid mental adjustment will allow Showmaker to take further steps in the coming year.
At this time, Li Luo suddenly felt hesitant in his heart.
He is not worried about whether the LPL team will lose to the LCK team next year after he leaves the game.
It's because if Showmaker can take a step further next year, it might be interesting to play against a team with such a player.
However, this idea was cleared from Li Luo's mind just as it emerged.
If Showmaker was in the ad position, his interest might be stronger.
…
In the post-game interview session, Li Luo did not act like a riddle man for the first time, nor did he make any insinuations.
Although the DWG team is young, it does give Li Luo a different feeling. They are crazy, but they are also very pure.
It is indeed a team that has come all the way from the Internet cafe.
Such a team is undoubtedly rare in the entire League of Legends professional circle.
Therefore, Li Luo even expressed his praise for the DWG team's fighting spirit and even the team's ideas in the interview.
This also surprised the Korean media.
You must know that every time they see Li Luo being interviewed, they will be confused.
Li Luo's interviews often give them a feeling that there is nothing wrong with them when they first listen to them, but if they get to know Chinese culture and then analyze what this person said through words, the more they listen to it, the more strange it becomes.
, I always feel that he is acting strangely, and he is extremely aggressive and hostile.
But this time, the answer to the question was actually normal.
The first game of the quarter-finals has come to an end.
For the LPL division, they were very optimistic about the Thorn Birds game before this game, but when they actually won the game, many players were quite happy.
Because this means that LPL has already lost to the finals.
Another match between EDG and FPX kicked off on the second day of the quarter-finals.
Before the game, each commentator gave their predictions.
More than 90% of the commentators are optimistic about the EDG team.
Most of these commentators gave a score of 3-1 or 3-0. This is really because the stability gap between the two teams is too huge. Although EDG has been tepid throughout the year, it feels a bit like the S6 and S7 periods.
.
Although EDG was strong at that time, they could find faults with their fundamentals.
The current EDG is completely different.
They have Jin Gong in the top lane who is as stable as an old father, Xiaotian who is on the rise and his condition is gradually exploding, Scout in the middle lane who is as stable as Xiaodai as a carry point, and Meiko in the bottom lane who is like a sea-fixing needle and has a "mosaic"
Lin Weixiang, known as "Li Luo".
The description given by Shaduo netizens was quite explosive. Li Luo was drinking water when he saw this message, and he immediately sprayed it.
As for the netizen's explanation, Li Luo also read it. Lin Weixiang often died suddenly in the past. Now he is much more stable, but the hidden attribute of sudden death still exists. After all, Lin Weixiang's team fighting style is very bold, but he is relatively weak in the laning phase.
Some.
Because the gap between Lin Weixiang's lower limit and upper limit is somewhat large, the term "mosaic" was given.
As for FPX, although their performance in the second round of the group stage was acceptable, the team's problems were still visibly serious.
However, one of the commentators gave a different score than the other commentators.
That is Guan Zeyuan.
The prediction given by Guan Zeyuan is 3 to 2, and EDG will win.
The reason is that he believes that FPX's creative ability will not be easily won by EDG.
It must be said that his prediction was bold and the reasons were sound.
However, when the game between FPX and EDG became increasingly anxious on the second day, the expressions of countless players became subtle.
FPX...it's actually an advantage against EDG.
In the first two games, FPX and EDG won one and lost one.
But no matter which one it is, FPX's performance is very strong.
Xiaotian's Prince seems to have been borrowed from S10. He tried to play a fast tempo and was manipulated by Sofm in the jungle for two waves before he began to deform.
Even a low-level mistake like putting EQ instead of QE occurred.
This is also the main reason why the EDG team lost in the first round.
EDG was able to fight back in the second round because FPX's old problems were still there. Their decision-making mistakes in the middle and late stages directly sent EDG into a big wave. Under meiko's excellent command, the EDG team successfully counterattacked and completed a comeback.
When the two sides drew a draw and were on the same starting line, EDG's backstage lounge was filled with restlessness.
If victory depends entirely on the opponent's mistakes, then how should this game be played?
Abu woke up a wave of players hard and woke them up. In the third game, EDG relied on the blue side's BP advantage and excellent operational performance to score another 10%!
At this time, all EDG fans feel stable.
But in the fourth game, doinb’s Ryze exploded.
In a single 43-minute game, doinb's Ryze scored 5.1W of output, which stunned the bottom lane Hope who was somewhat explosive in the early stage.
In the fifth hand, 957 took out Gnar. When the team was at a slight disadvantage in the early stage, a wave of team battles combined with doinb's Kled attack, tp circled around and dealt a devastating blow to the EDG people who had a somewhat scattered formation.
With one slap, the four of them were knocked unconscious against the wall. Kai'Sa, who was hopeful, stepped on her W to search for enemies in the void and quickly entered the field, blasting EDG in waves.
The final score was 3 to 2!
Only Guan Zeyuan guessed the score correctly!
Although it's the other way around.
FPX counterattacked EDG and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
This time doinb did not shed tears on the stage, but performed a set of cool monkey punch combinations in front of the camera.
They did it.
The players on the EDG team were beaten to the point of being a little autistic.
The cruelty of e-sports is also vividly reflected at this moment.
Although EDG has already won the championship.
But who resents the fact that he has few champions?
Most people will reflect when they fail.
This kind of reflection is also the driving force for human progress.
But the scariest thing is that after reflection, I realize that I and the team have not inflated and made no mistakes.
But still lost.
This kind of unwillingness will fill the entire brain in an instant.
The news that FPX upset EDG's dream of two championships spread like wildfire.
In this BO5, FPX's creativity and their highly ornamental play style have won the recognition of countless players.
No one expected that a BO5 with such an explosive effect would appear in the originally calm second half.
In contrast, there is not so much suspense in the first half of the game.
Although Griffin's strength is good, I don't know if it was because they were knocked unconscious by the Thorn Birds in the group stage or for some other reason. When facing the experienced SKT, Griffin's performance felt like he was competing with the old team.
A child whose elder brother has learned the same thing.
Completely controlled by SKT's operating rhythm.
The viper in the bottom lane faced a rock-solid bang, but was unable to break through the cracks.
On the contrary, Chaowei was targeted many times by the rhythm combination of faker and clid.
On the top lane, Khan showed his dominance as a top laner in this year's LCK first team when facing his domestic top laner, Sword King.
Three times in a row, the Sword King was beaten violently three times, directly turning the team into a 4-on-6 situation.
SKT did not lose any blood in the three games and easily defeated Griffin. The total number of kills from both sides in the three games was more than 20.
There is no doubt that this is a BO5 with a very LCK style.
It is also a BO5 game that can put many players to sleep.
However, there were also quite a number of players who praised the SKT team's performance crazily after the game.
"Look, this is the real quality department of League of Legends."
"SKT's operation is even more terrible. I feel that losing MSI is not a bad thing for them, so that they can position themselves well, devote themselves to training, and show their full attitude to face the LPL team.
"
"Rational analysis, judging from the two BO5s, I think SKT is stronger than the Thorn Birds in this world championship. The Thorn Birds have trouble playing against the LCK third seed. Look at SKT.
Their second seeds are like mercury, and they are optimistic about SKT entering the finals and defeating the Thorn Birds, making Faker's world number one position more stable!"
"Ah, yes, yes, you must strive to win the championship. Otherwise, as long as Brother Luo wins the championship this year, his throne as the number one player in the league will be gone."
The LCK forum is filled with a small group of people. According to their comments, what is the difference between domestic and foreign clubs’ preferences for competitions between clubs?
In contrast, the other game in the first half was also without any suspense.
The G2 team easily defeated TL 3-0.
This BO5, which was completed at MSI before Li Luo was reborn, was only buried in the World Championship.
Just like SKT playing Griffin, the TL team showed no strength to compete with G2.
TL was easily defeated.
The head-to-head confrontation between Europe and the United States in the World Championship once again ended with North America's disastrous defeat of Europe.
Europeans rushed to tell each other and had endless carnival.
They all have absolute confidence in their favorite team. They believe that they can send SKT away once at MSI, and they can send SKT away for the second time in this world championship!
So far, all the semi-finalists of the S competition have been announced.
In the top half, SKT faced G2.
The second half is a civil war between Thorn Birds and FPX.
After the semi-finals, the players of the Thorn Birds team took a short break and once again devoted themselves to intense training.
It is worth mentioning that although the EDG team has been eliminated and is supposed to either return to China or have fun in Europe for a few days, they chose to spend a lot of time playing training matches with the Thorn Birds.
They don't think that their training can help the Thorn Birds improve their winning rate against the FPX team. FPX has already used 99% of their strength to win against EDG. However, everyone in EDG clearly knows that although FPX's strength can
It poses a threat to them, but it is even more difficult to pose a threat to the Thorn Birds, who are tight in both offense and defense.
The reason why EDG plays a more stable hand and plays more training games with the Thorn Birds is because the two teams in the top half are too popular.
This year's Thorn Birds is an all-Chinese class.
Which domestic professional player doesn't want to see five Chinese standing on the championship stage of the S game?
Anyway, you have been eliminated, so put your hope in the Thorn Birds and let them go on with their own hopes!
