"Across mountains and seas, former opponents and teammates will finally meet in the S8 semifinals. What kind of stories will they experience, and what kind of future will they write?"
"Ah, life, you are so wonderful and so magical that it is hard to let go of you!"
"Get out of here and don't go crazy here."
Xu Ruoguang rolled his eyes at Beryl, who seemed to want to turn into a bard, and raised his hand unceremoniously to give him a Silas weak blast.
At this time, Beryl shook her wrist, straightened her collar, and sighed in a very confident tone,
"Oh, fate."
Elegant, so elegant!
He saluted Xu Ruoguang, elegant and funny, while Uzi beside him could no longer hold back and was laughing wildly.
"Brother Guang, don't you think you and Faker are really destined?"
Beryl spoke slowly.
"I don't think so. I just think you're a little disgusting."
Xu Ruoguang smashed a bottle of Wangzai milk over, Beryl caught it with quick eyes and hands, and spoke respectfully.
"Thank you, my great Brother Guang."
"What on earth are you having?"
Xu Ruoguang is really a little numb.
We came together today to take a breath of fresh air. As soon as we arrived in the lounge, we saw that disgusting Beryl.
This kind of teammate is really outrageous!
"hey-hey."
Beryl chuckled and handed over his mobile phone.
"Brother Guang, take a look, Riot Games officially made a promotional video for the semi-finals."
Just as Xu Ruoguang was about to take it, Beryl suddenly took it back.
Xu Ruoguang:?
"How can you and I watch such a good thing? Of course we should watch it together."
beryl positive color.
Xu Ruoguang only thought he was noisy.
"I'm not interested, I'm going to training."
Ten minutes later, Xu Ruoguang sat on the sofa in the lounge with a blank look on his face.
The left hand is Xu Xiu and the right hand is Beryl.
He turned his head and said, "Xiu'er, can you let me go?"
"Brother, it's very interesting."
Xu Xiu said seriously.
"I want to train."
Xu Ruoguang sighed.
"Brother, it's really interesting."
"..."
What a mess.
Hongmi, who wears big pants, takes out his pants every day and closes the curtains after finishing work.
"Let it go, let it go!"
He sat on the sofa, put his hand in front of his nose, smelled it, and nodded with satisfaction.
Still a familiar smell.
If you don’t smell it for a day and feel uncomfortable all over, that’s right.
Hongmi had a hobby when she was little. After picking her feet, she had to smell them.
The threatened Xu Ruoguang had no choice but to look at the screen in front of him.
With a somewhat soothing rhythm, two lines of English appeared in the center of the screen.
THE ONE
AND
THE TOP
As the English letters faded, the still young Lee Sang Hyuk appeared on the screen.
"2013,OGN,Spring."
In the 2013 spring game, Lee Sang Hyuk made his debut.
He looked calm and his eyes were sharp.
The lifted hair makes him more aggressive.
Although Faker's appearance during this period was criticized for looking like Amomum villosum, it must be said that it was indeed very oppressive.
However, he made his debut at this time and did not let his opponents feel the pressure.
The opponent's ID is a look of contempt and relaxation, with no serious ambition at all.
Leader An probably never dreamed that one day he would be whipped to death.
At this time, Boss An was with Milkman.
The next shot is of Xu Ruoguang.
"2015,OGN,summer."
2015 Summer Split, July 29th.
Xu Ruoguang, debut.
In the camera lens, he has slowly stood up.
As the director scanned the scene, there was no cheering, which was in sharp contrast to Raven, who had a perfect record of eight bars and zero.
The handsome young man walked off the stage without any change in his expression.
"Faker lost the chance to go to the S4 global finals! SKT fell in the bubble game!"
The camera switched again, and faker looked a little disappointed this time.
The next second, the scene of EDG winning the 2015 MSI appeared.
"Let us congratulate EDG for defeating their powerful enemy SKT and winning the first League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational!"
Lee Sang Hyuk resigned unwillingly.
The music gradually became more exciting.
The two people walking opposite each other in the darkness suddenly stretched out their hands to hold.
In bright or dark light, smiles appeared on the faces of Xu Ruoguang and Li Sang Hyuk.
"This is a promotional video for the summer finals. I still remember that he was very reluctant to film it at the time."
Xu Ruoguang looked at his past self, a little nostalgic, and spoke with emotion.
Memories sometimes seem not worth mentioning at all, but they always give you a heavy blow just when you think they have disappeared.
It's like going to see off a departing relative.
Maybe I could still control my emotions at the time, but when I looked at the traces of his or her past life, tears suddenly flowed down unconsciously.
On the screen, a line of English appeared.
The translated meaning is very simple.
"Double Star"
The scene was filled with crazy screams, the audience surged like waves, and the IDs they shouted.
Emporer!
"2015,Season5,Berlin."
2015 Global Finals, Berlin!
"What a terrifying dominance! What a trembling power! This is SKT! This is Emporer and Faker! No one knows how to defeat them, they are the strongest top laner and mid laner in the world right now!"
European and American hosts roared crazily.
"none of them!"
"We can believe that as long as they continue to cooperate, a new dynasty will be established!"
However, the climax only lasts for a moment.
In the next shot, Xu Ruoguang is already wearing the K1 uniform, looking calmly ahead.
In front of him, Lee Sang Hyuk, wearing SKT team uniform, clenched his fists, his eyes showing both happiness and loneliness.
"Let us congratulate K1 for dominating S6 with a complete victory in the finals!"
"Perhaps there will never be another team like K1 in the future. But at least now, we can still send them our best wishes!"
In the voice-over, Xu Ruoguang burst into tears at the finals, and the scene was frozen at this time.
"It's a bit disgusting. You don't edit when you're handsome, you just edit when you cry, right?"
Xu Ruoguang curled his lips. Although there were inexplicable emotions surging in his heart, he still controlled it.
This is the first time he has shed tears on the court, and it is also the only time so far.
K1 is also a profound memory for him.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lee Sang Hyuk smiles brightly, and stands side by side with Xu Ruoguang again on the S7 podium.
"In 2017, he and he became teammates again."
The English on the screen wrote such a sentence, and then ended it with a very high praise.
"They are already legends!"
Next, it’s S8.
In the S8 UR makeup photo, Xu Ruoguang stands in the center, looking slightly to the right.
In the S8 SKT makeup photo, Lee Sang Hyuk is also standing in the center, subconsciously looking to the left.
Under the uncanny workmanship of the fist [referred to as PS], Xu Ruoguang, who was wearing the UR team uniform, and Lee Sang Hyuk, who was wearing the SKT team uniform, looked at each other quietly.
Next to their figures, countless pictures began to fly by.
A line of small words is marked in the lower left corner: Courtesy of SKT, IP Club photographer.
It looked like two people in the training room laughing.
There are only two screens that are lit up in the darkness late at night.
There was a snap shot of Lee Sang Hyuk picking up the air conditioner remote control after Xu Ruoguang fell asleep in the lounge.
Of course, what is more important is the two young people looking at each other and smiling on the field.
One line of words and the scrolling started.
Canyon, already immersed in it, subconsciously began to read it.
"Since Emporer's debut in 2015, he has played a total of 240 games with faker, including nine playoff BO5 games, three league finals, and two global finals."
Seeing this, Canyon's mouth opened wide.
This data is really exaggerated.
If he remembered correctly, Faker and Brother Guang had only been together for a year and a half in total.
S5 Summer Split, S7’s year in LPL.
That's all.
However, in just one and a half years, the two of them played in three league finals and two global finals.
What is a golden partner?
This horse is the real golden partner!
However, Canyon's originally wide-open mouth could no longer hold back after seeing the winning rate and took a deep breath.
If he knew Chinese, he might have said something like "This guy is so scary."
"The total winning rate, the total winning rate is...98.75%?!"
"Damn it, were you so cruel back then?"
Uzi couldn't hold himself any longer, this kind of winning rate was really outrageous!
How about you two co-operating in this S game as power training?
Specially for taking orders from S competition champions, right?
"I'm not sure, I don't have much impression. Anyway, I didn't seem to lose when I was doing IP."
Xu Ruoguang rubbed his chin and added.
"I haven't even lost a small game."
Uzi is already numb.
It was impossible for him to produce such exaggerated data when RNG was at its peak.
At most, a win rate of 70 is already exaggerated.
When these two people are together, the winning rate is 98.75 compared to Gouba...
On the screen, words are still scrolling,
"Emporer,age19."
"Faker,age22."
"Emporer, S5, S6, S7 global finals champion."
"Daker, S3, S5, S7 global finals champion."
"They are still very young."
"The legend continues."
The dynamic music suddenly stopped, and what appeared at this time were the IDs of UR.Emporer and SKT.Faker.
"A new showdown is about to begin!"
"In the semi-finals of the 2018 Global Finals, SKT captain Faker and UR captain Xu Ruoguang met again."
"Please, look forward to it."
As the picture turned completely dim, Xu Xiu rubbed her arms and couldn't help but sigh.
"Wow, I really got goosebumps."
"Right, right, I saw this video when I got up in the morning. Xiba, you did a great job. I couldn't help it. After I saw Brother Guang get up, I couldn't help but want to tell him."
Beryl chuckled.
He rarely got up early today.
It’s not for any other reason, it’s because the phone was taken away by Redmi.
You’re already in the semi-finals, and you still want to play mobile games?
Hongmi: It makes no sense!
He couldn't wait to get back to his phone in the morning, but he didn't expect to open Twitter and start the lightning strike directly.
This video is so well done, Beryl’s blood is boiling when watching it.
"generally."
Xu Ruoguang lifted his pants, stood up with a calm expression.
"Going to training."
The teammates were left looking at each other.
"Brother Guang didn't react at all? I'm a little disappointed."
Beryl smacked her lips.
"No, when Guangzi is really excited, he secretly enjoys himself alone."
Uzi played with Xu Ruoguang in OMG for a period of time before, and he is quite aware of Xu Ruoguang's character.
In fact, Xu Ruoguang was really having fun at this time.
He sent the link to the people he knew and followed it with a message:
Isn’t my brother handsome?
Lee Sang Hyuk replied almost instantly.
Cauliflower: I laughed, that’s it?
Tranquility Zhiyuan:???
Cauliflower: I feel less handsome than me.
Tranquility Zhiyuan: What about your horse? Can you compare with me?
Cauliflower: Haha, are you in a hurry?
In the SKT lounge, faker was typing with a serious face.
Bang took a look and couldn't help but admire him.
"I'm probably checking for version changes again. Brother Xianghe, you've worked really hard."
If faker's haha was so anxious that bang understood it, faker's glorious image in bang's heart would probably be completely shattered [Sad]
Xu Ruoguang's teeth were itching with hatred. This guy had already reached the thirteenth level of resistance before, and he started talking all kinds of slander.
It's so weird.
For Faker, starting from S7, it has become a habit to wait for the queue time to watch the battle. He has never been exposed to this aspect before, so he naturally became addicted.
He didn’t have any other hobbies, and for him, this thing could also pass the time and integrate into the IP of the time.
Just one sentence: The Internet is so exciting!
Over time it becomes a habit.
Even because he was often despised by yellow cards, Faker, who was once a small blue card player, became eager to win. He even made a note when studying how to win.
Frequently ask questions that are very offensive but also very cryptic.
For example: "Am I the only one who thinks RNG has never been strong?"
"Does anyone really think that pig offal is rare now?"
"As a pure outsider, how do you evaluate Emporer's performance today? My evaluation is a defense."
"I'm not pretending to be cool, I'm Lee Sang Hyuk! Do you want to ask me for my quick reply?"
Faced with such obvious fishing, the owner of the bar naturally banned him frequently, but because faker can play PS and is still active from time to time, he was not banned.
Now it is also a famous bar favorite.
Especially Faker’s last post about me being Lee Sang Hyuk if I don’t pretend to be hot, it really aroused the interest of many people.
It's a pity that Maggot Baby doesn't believe it at all.
"Are you Lee Sang Hyuk? No problem. Then I say I am your father, is that okay?"
"You are your mother, can you work with the baby?"
"How much money does Lee Sang Hyuk make in Goba? How can he withstand stress by playing Sewer Rat? If you are really Lee Sang Hyuk, I suggest V50. Crazy Thursday is here. Brother Rich, look at his strength. If you get V, I will accept it."
Don't tell me, faker is really awesome.
The baby maggot on the other side sent a question mark and then returned.
Here comes the sentence: Are you serious?
After some earnest advice, the core ideas are as follows:
Stop fantasizing about spicy food!
It’s okay to lie to your friends, but don’t lie to yourself!
Then I deleted the friend.
At that time, Faker never thought that one day he would be deleted as a friend.
Xu Ruoguang thought for a long time and finally thought of a way to fight back.
Although it's a bit despicable, I'm sorry, Sang Hyuk, I want to win!
A strange desire to win has set in.
He sneered and sent a sentence and started to make a nest.
Jing Jing Zhiyuan: Do you think I'm not as handsome as you?
Cauliflower: [Sweating Soybean] is smiling, why do you think so?
Xu Ruoguang smiled.
The fish has taken the bait.
The head is about to be obtained!
Jing Jing Zhiyuan: But Eun Jing seems to think I'm more handsome.
In an instant, someone in the SKT lounge became very excited.
Warning! Warning!
Cauliflower: That's okay.
Li Sang Hyuk put down his cell phone and looked at Bang, who was training seriously in front of him, and suddenly he didn't like anything he saw.
"Junzhi, training is almost over, isn't it?"
"Ah? Ah, it's almost done."
Bang was stunned and replied with a smile.
"Did you enter the training room with your left foot or your right foot today?"
Lee Sang Hyuk asked.
bang:???
He thought for a moment and said cautiously.
"Left, left foot?"
"Oh, the coach said, there will be rules and regulations in the future, and the left foot is not allowed to go forward. When the training is over, you can squat in the corner for a while and reflect."
Lee Sang Hyuk said lightly.
bang:……
"Okay, okay."
Why hasn't he heard of these rules and regulations?
But Brother Xiang He looks so angry now, and he doesn't dare to say or ask.
Thus, the world where only Bang was injured was achieved.
On the Internet, this documentary was even more praised.
Whether it is LCK or LPL, the opinions are surprisingly consistent.
nice!
On the LCK side, countless old SKT fans shed tears.
That summer was very short, so short that there was only one night of winning the championship.
That summer was very long.
It was so long that many fans still haven’t forgotten it.
"The SKT of the past, the strongest SKT in my memory, was really too strong. Even Samsung White, which won the S4 championship, did not have this kind of dominance."
"Although I am Xingza, what you said is really no problem."
"At that time, I felt that if I took out Enchantress in the middle and Sword Lady in the top lane, the game would have been won, and the opposite base would have exploded."
"It was so fierce, I really can't forget it!"
"Woooooo, as a female fan of SKT, I really want to see Ruoguang and Sanghyuk collaborate again!"
"Yes, yes, I miss you too. Are you also a fan of SKT? Can you add me on Instagram to reminisce about SKT?"
"Okay, okay, hehe."
I can only say that no matter which competition region there are, there are some smart brothers who are doing bad things.
On the LPL side, the scene is even more spectacular.
Let me tell you a question first.
How many IG fans do you have now?
In fact, there are quite a few.
After all, the Spring Split Champion and Summer Split Champion are the LPL’s No. 1 seed.
But if you want to say that you want to dominate the world, that's still too much of an exaggeration.
After losing MSI, the number of IG fans has continued to rise and fall.
Although IG is the No. 1 seed, even though they played better and better in the group stage, they successfully broke through to the quarterfinals.
They still don't have as many fans as Lao Huangza and Lao Zhuza.
This is S8, Zhuzai’s combat power is still very fierce.
Unlike the Little Knight after S11, it is useless.
Even though he won the championship, he was suppressed and beaten by the zombies. There was no dominance at all.
During this period, pig bastards could defeat five royal bastards at once, relying on their ability to hide behind each other's skin.
Regardless of whether they are Zhuzahuangza or IG fans, in fact, a large part of them are Xu Ruoguang's die-hard fans.
With the revelation of Xu Ruoguang's move to the LCK in S7, Xu Ruoguang was able to completely avenge his injustice, and the finger was pointed at Teng Jing.
In addition, RNG was sent away by G2 in the World Championship, and BLG was sent away by UR, and Korean phobia began to spread again.
In contrast, IG is not important in their hearts at all.
After all, it’s not about being a middle-class Korean dad?
Instead of supporting IG’s upper-level Korean dad, it’s better to support UR’s upper-lower CN power leveling!
40% Chinese content?
wrong!
ROG staff are basically all Huazi!
The content is almost off the charts.
Do you understand? Dogs are rare and almost have it!
UR never give up!
The R here is the R of UR!
RNG?
Go away, R, you are so unfamiliar.
So naturally, they started to become UR fans who have been fans for ten years.
There are countless people who call themselves Xu Ruoguang fans.
for example:
"I have been watching Brother Guang's games since elementary school. I like him so much. Keep up the good work, Brother Guang S8!"
This guy is either a junior high school student or a bluff.
"Brother Guang is so handsome, but I think I'm more handsome than Lee Sang Hyuk. Why don't Brother Guang consider me?"
This is gay.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't come close to him, faker, don't come close to him!"
This is a fanatic.
"UR has won the championship, can RNG take one-third of the credit? After all, if RNG doesn't lose when qualifying for the group stage, UR won't be able to qualify so easily."
This is an iron skewer, 80% of it is pig offal.
"Brother Guang is awesome! This is the first person's noodle list!"
This may be normal.
"Dad, come back!"
This is so unbelievable, 80% of it is Huang Za.
Time passed slowly in various discussions.
However, the audience was discussing that Xu Ruoguang's training with his teammates never stopped for a moment.
Whether it was KT who had been eliminated, Samsung who didn't come, or EDG and BLG, they all happily agreed to UR's training match invitation.
There are two BO5 games every day, one at noon and one in the evening, which is very fulfilling.
What, you mean morning?
There is generally no morning in the daily schedule of professional players, because they often stay up late at night and work until two or three o'clock, and even work on some papers until three or four o'clock, making it impossible to get up in the morning.
What's more, in the current World Championships, if you can withstand it, then you must.
There are really not many people who dare to go out and throw the ball at the World Championships.
There is no one who does not desire that championship.
Even if he doesn't desire it now, he may regret the choices he made countless times in his subsequent career.
There are two players who have won the championship.
SKT, UR's opponent, is also playing intense training matches.
UR doesn't want to lose, so why should they?
It’s already the semi-finals!
The understanding of the version continues to deepen, and the team's cooperation continues to improve. At this time, the more important it is to see who can withstand the pressure and maintain a strong mentality.
And finally, that day came.
October 27th, a very sunny day.
The sun is warm and the autumn breeze is refreshing.
Xu Ruoguang likes this weather very much.
He hates cloudy days, but he likes light rainy days.
He got up from the bed, kicked Xu Xiu, who was sleeping like a pig, and put on his clothes.
"...Brother Guang?"
The sleepy Xu Xiu shouted drowsily.
"Get up, beat SKT and reach the finals."
When Xu Ruoguang said this, he teased Xu Xiu.
"Rebuild the glory of LCK!"
This is what Xu Xiu says every day, and Xu Ruoguang remembers it very clearly.
Xu Xiu rubbed her face fiercely and stood up.
"good!"
After washing up, we gathered together and boarded the bus.
The venue for the semi-finals is not far away, but for safety's sake it is better to take the bus.
Seeing the crowds of people outside the venue, Xu Ruoguang was not afraid at all and instead smiled.
"Faker, you must be tired after playing for so long, right?"
