"Before today's game started, did you ever think about defeating Samsung 3:0?"
"I really didn't expect the score to be 3-0 before. I thought the fight might be more intense today. Then we had some beautiful team battles and won this series."
"You will face EDG or Dragon Ball next. Are you prepared?"
"Because we are the first team to play in the bottom half, we will watch the game between Longzhu and EDG next, observe their playing style, and then we will know how to deal with it later."
Flandre answered Yu Shuang's questions seriously on the interview stage, and Li Hao was standing next to Flandre with a microphone.
I heard Yu Shuang ask again:
"Today you are facing off against Blight. How would you rate Blight's performance today?"
"Well, if the full score is ten, I would give myself a 9 and him a 6."
Yu Shuang smiled and asked: "Where is the 3-point difference?"
"Because it's 3:0, there are 3 more points."
Having said this, Flandre smiled proudly.
Withering will probably be extremely depressed after seeing this interview.
"You rate yourself 9 points, where is the 1 point difference?"
Flandre said: "Because I give Brother Hao 10 points and I give 9 points. This is more reasonable."
Li Hao couldn't help but laugh, he was very good at playing with guns.
Yu Shuang asked Li Hao again:
"You have three games with Crown Brother today. Do you have any comments on his and your own performance?"
Li Hao raised the microphone and said, "Crown is a very good mid laner. Whether it is laning details, support or team battles, he does a very good job. This is how I felt last year, and I can feel it when I play against him again this year.
With Crown's progress, he has grown into a world-class player. He should be ranked higher in Japan's OT rankings. Crown is underestimated."
Aunt Yu Shuang saw that Li Hao's expression was serious and it didn't seem like he was joking.
This is a little strange.
Although Brother Crown has his own tricks, didn’t he get blown away in these three games?
Of course, Yu Shuang just thought about it in her heart and didn't say a word.
The doubts in her mind were instantly eliminated when Li Hao spoke his next sentence.
"As for my own performance, I don't really have a good evaluation of it. I can only briefly talk about it based on my record. Crown is very strong and a world-class player, and then he was suppressed for three consecutive games. Looking at it this way, my performance is pretty good.
."
Auntie looked surprised.
No wonder you want to blow the crown
After the interview, Flandre chased after him.
"Brother Hao, what I just said was not coquettish enough?"
"It's quite sexy, but the direction of the show is a bit crooked."
"How to say?"
Li Hao prompted: "Qianzi, you should give Blight 100 points."
"Then you beat an opponent with a 100-point score. Isn't that more impressive than beating an opponent with a passing score of 6 points?"
"Canyon relativity, right?"
"Um."
Flandre slapped her thigh and suddenly realized, "Geez, why didn't I think of that!"
"Next time I have a chance, I will definitely blow!"
"Brother Hao, you are still coquettish."
"..."
Li Hao smiled, put his arms around Flandre's neck, and walked into the contestant tunnel together.
…
On the evening of October 21st, LPL officials released the opening video of the fourth day of the quarter-finals.
The camera panned across the audience seats. LPL fans were full of passion and held up various support signs.
Because tomorrow is the EDG game, the support cards contain all kinds of good wishes for EDG.
The voices recorded in advance by the EDG players were also conveyed from the short film.
The factory director, the junior students, and IBoY all expressed their feelings and were eager to go further in S7 this time.
Along with the scene in the short film showing the EDG team qualifying, the director's voice finally came:
"I hope I can keep this championship in my own country."
"Can stay in LPL."
"..."
The semi-finals are on October 28th, and the second half of the competition is on October 29th. Snake has a week off.
However, after returning to the hotel that night, they packed their luggage.
The next stop is to return to base camp.
On October 22nd, there was a drizzle in the sky over Guangzhou.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, with the shouts of the on-site host, the final round of the quarter-finals officially started.
EDG battles Dragon Ball!
"Do you think EDG has a chance to compete with us in the Magic City?"
When the first BP sound sounded, Gangzi stared at the screen and said.
"There is definitely a chance, but it's difficult."
"Although the knockout rounds and the group stage are two different things, Longzhu is the team that came out 6-0 after all."
After Zuo Wu finished speaking, Li Hao on the side smiled and said:
"I really hope EDG can win."
"Last year we were besieged by the LCK, and we are looking forward to being able to besiege the LCK this year."
"Brother Hao, that's not good. Doesn't that mean we want SKT to take our winning script from last year?" Flandre was surprised.
Liu Qingsong raised his head and said: "SKT should pass RNG first."
"RNG has been training very hard recently and was still practicing late last night."
"They are holding back their energy and want to seek revenge from SKT this year."
"..."
"here we go."
"Watch the game first."
"..."
The first match between EDG and Longzhu made some nervous Guodian fans cheer.
EDG came up with a system that Samsung had used before, and selected Malzahar in the mid lane.
The bottom lane is small cannons and gems.
Dragon Ball failed to break through EDG's Iron Barrel Formation in the early stage, and they were a little impatient. During a team battle in the mid-term, EDG used the gem's ultimate move to hit a beautiful backhand, and defeated Dragon Ball with 1 for 4!
With the support of the two earth dragons, EDG used small cannons to demolish towers crazily, destroying the two highlands of Longzhu in the 32nd minute.
In the next 5 minutes, EDG gathered the two dragons and took away the dragon balls with the help of super soldiers.
"Strong!"
"The factory director is in great shape today, and the junior is really stable in the middle!"
"EDG just led by more than 10,000 gold, and there is Luo on the opposite side! The curse has been broken!"
"Come on EDG!"
"..."
Everyone in Longzhu returned to the backstage, and Coach Jin asked them to calm down and clearly analyzed the problems of the previous game.
In the second game, Longzhu changed its tactics.
Khan took out Weapon Master, and Dragon Ball played a four-point push.
During the summer regular season, Khan single-killed his opponents 22 times and was the LCK summer single-kill king!
Coach Jin released Khan's sharp spear and stabbed EDG's tree spirit on the road.
Once the tactics change, the effect will be immediate.
Weapon Master's single belt made EDG miserable. Due to several waves of teleportation support, Dashu's development on the top lane lagged far behind the weapon, and it was impossible to defend the single lane.
With Khan's involvement, Dragon Ball continues to accumulate neutral resources, and its defense towers also take the lead in various ways.
At 35 minutes and 12 seconds, when the high ground on the road was repeatedly smashed with weapons and street lights, all fans knew it was over.
The three of EDG returned to defense, and Baron followed and lost.
Although the wild boar did not grab the baron, it miraculously slipped away from the Dragon Ball crowd after throwing a big move. The electric fans could only rejoice in their misery.
Using this wave of dragon buffs, Dragon Ball destroyed EDG's three-way high ground.
With a huge disadvantage, the game was ended in one wave.
In the third game, EDG took down their weapons very recklessly.
However, the Korean classic Jess taught them how to behave.
Khan's Jayce started to show strength in the mid-term, giving Dragon Ball a three-way advantage.
In just 28 minutes, Longzhu got the match point with a huge advantage.
"Brothers, no, we are all staring at Khan. The Rat King's output has no pressure at all. How can we fight this?"
"Why are you banning Jax? Can the Khan hero pool be moved completely?"
"Get the big core for the junior brother, the others are unreliable!"
"The ancestral tree is no longer working, so we need to change our tactics quickly."
"..."
There is a lot of discussion from the outside world.
EDG faced huge pressure and made a decisive change in the fourth game.
To the surprise of the audience.
They came up with the Jayce + mid laner Rambo system that Snake used before.
However, this is a variant, replacing Jace with Gnar.
This Rambo mid laner, Longzhu really didn’t expect it.
They knew what Snake was doing, but they didn't expect that EDG also had this skill.
The junior Rambo played well and produced the tactical effect of Rambo in the mid lane.
At 11 minutes, there was a wave of small dragons. The young boy released a perfect ultimate move. EDG won the team battle with 0 for 2 and also won a fire dragon.
Guodian fans were very excited, and the cheers of 61e people kept ringing at the scene.
Those fans who were holding "Scout" signs held their support signs high.
Abu was also excited backstage and called out to his junior brother for doing a good job.
Until the 26th minute, EDG had the lead.
However, their advantage has never turned into a victory.
Longzhu kept biting the economic gap and delayed the game until 35 minutes later. EDG's several attempts to beat Baron were crushed by Longzhu.
The two sides have been entangled for a long time around Baron Nash.
At 37 minutes and 24 seconds, the team battle suddenly started in the middle.
Some old fans were holding their heads and couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Khan's Kennen seemed to be possessed by Smeb, sending a wave of thunder around the sky, unleashing explosive AOE damage and control on the EDG crowd.
Pray's small cannon jumped past Rambo's ultimate move, and he jumped in the crowd in conjunction with the damage done by his teammates, scoring three kills in one fell swoop!
EDG's backhand made the score 4 for 2, and only the junior Rambo escaped.
Dragon Ball took advantage of this wave to take down the big dragon and the ancient dragon.
Abu sat down on the bench and felt a cold sensation under his buttocks.
The uniform team on the side listened to Abramovich constantly chanting words such as "the top eight and the top sixteen".
Longzhu's lineup has entered a strong period, and EDG's mid laner Rambo's system has begun to weaken. One and the other waxes and wanes. Coupled with Longzhu's violent Double Dragon Hui, it directly caused them to be defeated in two consecutive high ground.
EDG persisted until it was close to the 49th minute of Q7. Miller in the commentary box watched Longzhu continue to demolish the incisor tower, and could only shout out one weak sentence:
"Congratulations Dragon Ball."
"Congratulations to them for entering the top four and joining up with Snake in the bottom half."
"What a pity for EDG. They have an advantage in the mid-term. It would be nice if they could take advantage of the strong period of their juniors to play more decisively. Longzhu may not be able to defend it."
Changmao on the side said:
"There were several key team battles where Gnar's anger was not good. This is why EDG did not dare to take over the team."
"Although Gnar is a very strong hero now and has no natural enemies online, he is still full of unstable factors."
"..."
What they say is just an afterthought.
EDG was eliminated, and this result cannot be changed.
The factory director and others sat helplessly on the contestants' bench.
The 2017 season is over.
Looking at the lights on the stage and listening to the commotion, the director was in a trance.
At the beginning of the season, he changed his ID and determined to make contributions in the S7 season.
By this time, things had backfired.
The glory gradually fades away, leaving only the mark of "7" on the e-sports world.
Clearlove8?
The factory director shook his head when he thought of this.
This time he was relieved, and he was already a little tired.
…
In the post-match interview:
"Khan, what are your expectations for the next semi-finals?"
Khan's answer was tough:
"What I'm looking forward to is not the semi-finals, I'm looking forward to the entire S7 World Championship. We will prove who is the strongest team in S7."
"What is your evaluation of the Holy Spear Brother you are going to face next?"
Khan responded: "He is an excellent top laner and has also won the S championship. However, I will prove who is the number one top laner now."
Facing the camera, the Rat King, who was also interviewed, also expressed his voice:
"In 2017, from the moment we came together, we were the best Dragon Ball."
"Coming to the stage of the global finals, we have only one goal, and that is to win the Summoner's Cup!"
"No matter how tough the opponent is, this goal will not change."
"..."
Backstage, Coach Jin looked approving.
Dragon Ball is a bit high-profile right now, but that’s nothing.
Coach Jin believes that Longzhu players do have this ability.
Moreover, we have to deal with Snake in the next round.
Facing this Grand Slam team, you must not be timid!
Putting aside everything else, Coach Jin doesn’t want to be weak at all in terms of momentum.
The quarter-finals have officially come to an end, and the e-sports forum has not lost its warmth because of a few days of truce.
There are discussions about everything.
The expressions "eight strokes for every word" made pig fans feel tired for a while.
It can only be described as "devastated".
It's normal to be the king and loser, and to be criticized when you lose.
This is the truth, but it does not prevent the forum from being full of chaos.
October 23, 8:30 am.
Snake and everyone packed up their belongings and prepared to go on the next journey.
On the first floor of the hotel, Li Hao had packed up and was waiting for his teammates to come down.
"Ding~"
The sound of the elevator.
Thinking that Flandre and the others were coming down, Li Hao turned around and saw the factory director.
"Qi, do you want to go back together?"
The factory director raised his head, with dark circles under his eyes: "No, we will repair it here all day."
"Come on for the semifinals."
"OK."
The factory director was not very interested and Li Hao did not talk to him much.
After the defeat in Guangzhou, Jarhead's back looked particularly desolate when he went out.
That afternoon, Snake and the others returned to the Magic City.
In the evening, the LPL official TV station was broadcasting a program, and two commentators were invited, namely Ruofeng and Teacher Prostitute.
The title of the program is: "There is a plan within the plan, PDD competes with the fan Saya on the same stage".
Aside from the advertising for sponsor Dad, this show is quite interesting.
The theme is "Soul Painter".
Contestants paint based on three aspects: color, composition, and difficulty. The highest score for each item is five stars, and the one with the most stars wins.
Judging from the official painting activities in this issue, it is not difficult to find that they are investing promotional resources.
The prostitute teacher, who had received the script a long time ago, asked Chao Ruofeng: "Just choose from the players in the major leagues now, who is the strongest player in your mind?"
Nose smiled and said: "Of course it's The King. You don't have a second choice, do you?"
"Hahaha."
The prostitute teacher smiled and faced the camera, "Okay, come on!"
Background music sounded, and both parties began to create nervously.
If Feng draws very quickly, he should be the first to hand in the paper and display it in front of the screen.
On the white paper, he used a blue pen to draw an extremely rough thermos cup.
Moreover, he wrote in crooked words: Haha, I am the true form of The King.
Immediately, the fans watching the show were delighted.
[The nose is bold! You dare to draw Brother Hao’s body, fork it out!]
【0 marks!】
[The thermos cup is drawn too thickly, it should be thinner. Can’t you see how detailed my brother Hao is in the competition!]
…
In the end, Ruofeng only received 1 star for color and composition, and 2 stars for difficulty.
The overall score is 4 stars.
On the other side, the prostitute teacher laughed while drawing and coloring with crayons, enjoying it.
His works are displayed.
Several green wavy lines represent the Huangpu River, which was marked by the prostitute teacher himself.
Then, the little man on the paper had no face, and the prostitute teacher marked it to indicate that it was from the back.
Anyone who knows jokes knows that Teacher Prostitute is describing the scene when he met Brother Wolfberry on the Huangpu River.
He also drew a butcher knife, but it was too soulful, a bit like the Infinity Blade.
It all depends on the subtitle explanation marked by Saozhu himself, otherwise I really can’t understand it.
[The truth about Sao Zhu is revealed. No wonder I think Brother Hao’s damage is outrageous and I can’t understand it. It turns out there is an extra Infinity Blade here. 】
[Others will draw the front face, but I know the prostitute teacher will definitely draw the back, because they are all in reverse, right!]
[Brother upstairs, you just don’t respect me, Wei Jiang, by saying that]
[If Jiang Li draws another pig, the creativity of this picture will be perfect]
…
With a "boom" sound, Sao Pig's score is 7.5 stars.
Then, the ranking of soul painters was announced on the big screen.
Ranking first is Commentator Eleven, who received 13 stars.
Then remember, An Zhangmen has long hair.
Sao Pig has 7.5 stars, surpassing the Grasp of Immortality! It ranks fifth on the list.
Ruofeng's 4 stars barely tied for seventh place with Dragon Ball's Khan.
"Okay, this issue of Soul Painter has ended."
PDD smiled mysteriously and said: "Our next Soul Painter program will invite two mysterious guests. You can look forward to it."
…
"Brother Hao? Are you going to participate?"
Taking advantage of the break, Cuihua, who watched the Soul Painter program, asked curiously.
Li Hao nodded and shook his head.
Cuihua was stunned.
Li Hao smiled and stopped teasing him:
"Zuo Wu told me that there is such an event."
"But it has to wait until after the semifinals."
"If I win the semifinals, I will definitely participate. If I lose, I don't want to be embarrassed."
Cuihua let out an ooh.
He suddenly thought of something and glanced around. All his teammates were busy. He leaned closer and asked with some worry:
"Brother Hao, did my performance in the quarterfinals this time look bad?"
"Why do you ask that?"
In front of Li Hao, he did not hide anything and said bluntly:
"I have been training very hard and want to give more help to the team. But I still feel that some aspects cannot keep up with last season."
"Brother Hao, I don't have the kind of super talent you have."
"Even if I keep working hard, I can't stop myself from falling."
"That day in Guangzhou, when Leader An was trying to grab the dragon, I had no choice."
Li Hao saw that he was disappointed and said with relief: "That's not your problem, that's An Bixin's shining moment, and these operations cannot be stopped."
"Brother Hao."
"I was worried that I would be a drag on the team."
"At the end of this season, I must advise the club to find the next jungler."
Li Hao stared at him, Cuihua was very serious and didn't seem to be joking.
The richest man in Vietnam at the time was recruited because Cuihua wanted a replacement. Later, he also experienced the feeling of being usurped by the unfavorable guest and sitting next to the water cooler.
If it weren't for Li Hao's arrival, Cuihua's career would have been very bleak.
Now, what he said will affect his entire career.
It seemed that Cuihua had already spoken, but Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief and said frankly:
"Being able to reach this point is already quite a dream for me, just like a dream."
He smiled happily:
"I am definitely one of the lucky junglers in the league. There are many people who are more talented than me, but I have won a Grand Slam just by doing my job. This is enough to make many people envious."
"I actually understand very well, because there is only one Brother Hao in this alliance."
Li Hao exhaled and patted his little brother on the shoulder:
"No need to belittle yourself."
"Doing your job well is a very difficult thing. I am partially responsible for your success, but more of it lies with you. If it weren't for your hard training day after day, we might not be able to get here.
step."
"At that time, you studied the stupid chicken videos day and night. I still remember it to this day."
At this point, both of them laughed.
"..."
The two exchanged a few more words, and Li Hao already understood Cuihua's thoughts.
This little brother already has the intention to retreat bravely.
If Snake can defend his title in S7, this may not be a bad thing for Cuihua.
After all, he is the same age as the big devil.
As for the Great Demon King, there is also only one alliance.
Li Hao secretly lamented that he could not hold others to his own standards.
"Zhan Ran, don't think too much about anything else. Our primary goal is to hit S7!"
"This season, never leave any regrets."
"Well, Brother Hao, I will try my best!"
"..."
In the evening, Snake held another small meeting.
Everyone was very motivated. At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the keyboards in the training room were still clicking loudly.
Kaisasai, this is the passionate youth!
On October 24th and October 25th, these two days, Snake's training matches were non-stop, which can be called devil's training.
Of course, Longzhu, SKT and RNG are also training crazy.
One roll, everyone rolled it up.
If you train until 10 o'clock, we will train until 11 o'clock.
You turn off the lights at 12 o'clock, and we'll watch the Magic City at 4 o'clock in the morning.
Get rid of you bastards!
Tsk tsk, this is also a passionate youth!
…
LPL officials have also been active recently.
On the eve of the semi-finals, I invited Miss Miss to help out and filmed a one-and-a-half-minute MV.
At this time, Miss Miss Ss is still the goddess of e-sports in the hearts of many players.
…
Countdown to the semi-finals, October 26th.
LPL officially released the pre-match promotion: "PDD and the beautiful sister Zhou will take you to watch the finals at the Magic City Station"
In this 4 and a half minute promotional video, Sister Zhou is dressed quite coolly, um, the shorts are very short.
Afterwards, the two went to a cheongsam shop together.
The naughty pig put on the clothes of a rickshaw driver, and Sister Zhou accidentally exposed her girth while "making the clothes tailor-made".
The pig is jokingly said to be 0.4 feet!
It is also said that Sister Zhou's cheongsam only has a back curl and no front protrusion.
Finally, the two ended their cheongsam tour with the music of "Dark City".
"I wish our LPL team good results in the semi-finals!"
"Yes, come on for the semifinals!"
…
October 27th, the last day before the semifinals.
Japan ot officially updated the pre-match declarations of the four teams.
From RNG's side, the voice of Mala Xiangguo came out: "If I'm nervous, I'm not too nervous, because I've played with them many times, and we have a deep understanding of SKT. This time, we want to be more...
It’s about revenge.”
"I think SKT is actually not that strong. They exposed a lot of problems when they faced the Rabbitohs in the quarterfinals and almost went home. This time, we sent them home."
For SKT, representative Bang spoke:
"I believe we are the strongest team in S7, and we will renew our oath that we will still dominate this era."
Next, is the voice of Longzhu’s dad:
"Before S7, others would be a little unfamiliar with the Longzhu team. When it comes to championships, they will think of SKT, Snake or SSG. But after S7, we should also be included in the discussion."
"This year, we have this will."
Finally, the strong voice of the Flowerpot Man came from Snake's side, without any twists and turns:
"In the 2017 season, we have only played for three things."
"Champion, champion, still champion!"
…
October 28, 2017.
The semi-finals officially started at the Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai!
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The screams and cheers of tens of thousands of people resounded over the Oriental Sports Center!
…
…
PS: I went to do the nucleic acid test today, and I wasted a lot of time queuing up.
