Chapter 355: The world problems faced by LCK! (more at night)
July 8 afternoon.
At close to 4 o'clock, the Dalian Sports Center began to play a promotional video for the decisive battle between LPL and LCK.
The picture sweeps from the ships in Dalian Port and the blue sea water, to a scene in the city, and finally from the periphery of the stadium building to the center of the venue.
Xiaohu's voice first came out on the big screen:
"We have reached the final decisive battle, LPL cannot relax even a little bit."
Then, the camera showed the old captain Sore: "This is an opportunity to defeat LPL. We will seize it tightly."
Kiin: "Going through the knockout rounds to get to where we are today will definitely prove the strength of the LCK!"
Meiko: "LPL was also the champion in the intercontinental competition last year. Of course we will defend the title this time."
"..."
The Big Devil showed a sharp look: "No matter which team the LCK encounters, the most important thing is to win the game and build an advantage for the team."
After he finished speaking, Li Hao appeared in the final shot:
"There is only one goal this time, and that is to keep the intercontinental championship in the LPL."
When the camera zoomed out, the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed.
In addition to the light shining from the fans' support items, the only thing that could be seen was the countdown flashing on the huge screen above the venue.
More than 15,000 spectators came to the Dalian Sports Center venue today, and you can hear them counting down along with the beating numbers above!
After the number skips "1", the familiar fist effects appear again.
The light and shadow of broken glass appeared on all the big screens around him, and blue and white lights began to flash in the huge venue. Xu Mengyuan's DJ performance started as a prelude, and various scenes from the intercontinental competition were replayed on the big screen.
After the two-minute performance ended, Ren Dong strutted from the backstage to the climax melody:
"Summoners on the scene, let me feel your enthusiasm, okay!"
The audience that came to the Dalian scene was also very impressive, and a huge sound erupted. Many people were shaking purple cheering sticks, and there was a continuous thumping sound.
"Welcome to the 2018 League of Legends Intercontinental Series Asia Finals. After passing yesterday's semi-finals, the LCK division has reached today's finals and will compete with the LPL to be the strongest in Asia. Behind me, there are eight teams from the two divisions.
The team is ready, let’s welcome the team to the stage!”
The opening ceremony of the finals will be much grander. This time it is no longer the team representatives, but all team members appearing together.
Starting from the fourth seed of the LCK, a screen flashing SKT opened, and under a purple fog light effect, the five-member SKT group stood on the stage.
Li Guapi's clothes are different from those of the others. The other four are all wearing short-sleeved shirts, but he is the only one who wears a red long-sleeved coat over his short-sleeved shirts.
People who noticed this immediately started laughing.
Some people say that the big devil also knows how to maintain health.
Some people say that if the melon skin is thicker, it will not be easy to break through.
The EDG team also followed suit.
Then KT, IG, AFS, RNG, KZ
The Immortal Grip, who shouted several times on the stage, raised his voice again:
"Let us welcome LPL No. 1 seed S~nake!"
The terrifying popularity can be heard from the continuous and almost never-ending cheers.
"Welcome Snake~!!"
Ren Dong raised his neck and shouted, filling up the noodles.
The director swept the camera across the scene and could see many crazy fans standing up on their seats, shouting loudly and shaking the cheering sticks in their hands.
There is also a conspicuous luminous support sign. Because the lights are concentrated on the stage, it is not clear who is holding the sign in the audience, but everyone can see the words on it: Stars are in the sky, Brother Hao is in my heart.
.
There is a high probability that she is a female fan, and a small probability that she is a male fan.
The position of each team on the stage has been rehearsed in advance. The six peripheral teams all face the surrounding audience, while the two spring championship teams stand face to face in the center of the stage.
They face a podium.
"All eight teams have assembled and the intercontinental championship will be decided here. Let us wait and see who is the Asian champion."
"The championship podium is already at the center of the stage. Next, let's ask the LPL representatives from the last continental championship region to return the trophy."
“Welcome TheKing~!!!”
Pictures of Li Hao holding up the Intercontinental Championship trophy appeared on the big screens all around. The sound of the Dalian Sports Center blended with the exciting background sound that suddenly changed on the stage, and it was already deafening!
The stage special effects divided the positions of the LCK and LPL teams into red and blue. Then, the path under Li Hao's feet seemed to be the river. He walked to the center and placed the silver-gray intercontinental trophy in the shape of a tornado.
Up.
This trophy looks quite big, but it is not heavy.
The lights fell from directly above. When Ren Dong called for the official start of the intercontinental competition, the camera circled around the trophy. The audience could clearly see that there was a red gem inlaid on the top, which is unique to the Asian competition.
The color of the gems in each division is different.
Yellow is the South American zone, blue is the European and American zone, purple is the Pacific zone, and green is the wild card zone.
Except for the different colors of the stones, the shapes are the same.
So some people joked that this trophy might have been designed by Thanos.
…
The players returned to the backstage, and the big screen began to play the footage of players from each major team entering the venue. Of course, there were many advertisers interspersed with it.
I remember constantly reciting the opening lines. On this finals day, his voice was particularly passionate.
Cooperating with Rita and another guest, Fireloli, they began to review yesterday's game.
The LMS's three disastrous defeats were shocking, and the LCK clearly returned to its proper form during the knockout rounds.
After eight minutes of nonsense, the long-awaited audience finally saw the camera shift to the contestants' seats.
In the first game, LPL sent out RNG!
At present, the RNG team feels very stable, almost the most stable team except Snake.
It makes sense for LPL to arrange this.
As long as RNG wins the first game, it means that if LCK wants to win the championship, it must defeat Snake.
Because Snake is now the ace of the LPL and can play twice in the most extreme situation.
From the summer split to now, Snake has been showing terrible form and has not lost a game so far.
Even the audience can feel that the current LPL division is obviously stronger than the LCK.
Despite this, Snake can still be undefeated in a small game!
The team sent by the LCK happens to be SKT. They have been fighting for a long time and have been winning.
RNG also fought against SKT for a long time, but kept losing.
Although historically RNG has been at a disadvantage against SKT, LPL fans believe that things are different now.
Backstage at LPL, everyone was sitting in front of the screen, looking at BP quietly.
At this juncture, the atmosphere backstage in the LPL is still a bit tense.
Before actually winning the championship, all comparisons will always only exist on paper.
When it comes to the competition, it's hard to say whether I can play stably.
The winged colossus that constantly tormented RNG in the S7 arena had no chance to appear again, because RNG gave Galio the ban spot in the first place. KT played the first game on behalf of the LCK and also used its killer move.
That's right, it's the Tetsuo system currently causing trouble in the intercontinental competition!
It doesn't matter if Bang can't play Tetsuo, Faker can play.
However, if Tetsuo hits the mark, it will be a supporting wild core play, and Xiaohei does not have such a tactical status at all.
Even though Bang was a phantom after meditation, SKT still believed in him.
As a result, the Big Devil Latte Man stepped down to cooperate with Wolf and became a new duo.
Play Luo's Xiaohei and support Bang's Xia.
This Kasumi is naturally punishing and can develop like crazy.
On the top of the road, King T brought out his Nuo hand. This combination is naturally a hot style in the current version, but SKT rarely used it before. When it was used in the finals, it had the flavor of a big move.
RNG selected a solid combination of Sword Demon, Qinggang Shadow, Ice Girl, EZ and Shen on the blue side.
Nofe, Director Chris and others began to discuss the strength of both sides' lineups. KT suddenly changed their tactics, and everyone was still a little worried.
Li Hao sat next to Casa and couldn't help but smile as he listened to their heated argument.
When he mentioned the strength of RNG, he thought of the intercontinental tournament at that time, where RNG played a heroic role.
The record at that time was that RNG played 4 games and won 3 games, and the other teams played 9 games in total and won 6 games, which cleverly formed the string of numbers.
However, RNG won two games in the finals, which was full of gold.
Gouzi has been waiting for so many years, and this is his moment of revenge on the final stage.
In 2 minutes and 10 seconds, Mr. Guo made a direct hit at level 2!
After the hook lock stunned Luo, Xiaohu's Ice Girl followed up with W.
Coupled with the ignited damage, the ice girl got the first blood!
From the beginning of this wave, RNG has always had the advantage in the early stage.
The game lasted 15 minutes and 26 seconds, and the kill ratio between the two sides became 3:0. King T's Nuoshou was behind for fifty CS, and even gave away two kills.
how to say?
He has to be T-Emperor!
In less than 17 minutes, RNG broke into SKT's bottom lane high ground and almost pushed down the high ground tower.
At 18 minutes, an accident occurred at Xiaolongkeng.
After a wave of dragon pit team fights, RNG was beaten into a three-for-three situation with the advantage, and the water dragon was also obtained by Faker's Tetsuo.
Changing heads when you have an advantage is a big loss.
This wave gave SKT a big breath.
In the commentary box, the doll left a classic quote:
"Wolf's Bull Head has been delayed for too long. Open up the WQ 2nd Company and drag a wave in the Dragon Pit. Move back and forth to resist damage and delay time."
"Here Wolf flashes and hits the wall, dragging him again."
The barrage immediately started scrolling:
[Wolf: Well said! I flashed into the wall just to delay time]
【Wolf: Doll understands me】
...KT fought back a lot, but they thought the lineup was not easy to beat even in the late stages, so they quickly made an irrational decision.
In other words, SKT has a gambling addiction.
At 21 minutes and 50 seconds, five members of SKT gathered in the Baron Pit to beat the Baron.
RNG came to kill them, and the sword demon with a graceful posture staged a wave of Q-version of gods descending to earth in the small dragon pit.
After opening the Great Destruction, he slashed wildly in the Dragon Pit. In the end, Bang's punishment failed to take down the dragon, and Xiao Ming's Shen got it, which made Xiao Ming stunned.
Is my waist hurt so much?!
RNG defeated SKT with 0 for 5 groups.
After a wave pushed SKT to level, RNG took 22 minutes and 38 seconds!
The Dalian venue has been shouting with excitement since the Dalongkeng event, and many dog fans were excited.
"Revenge! Gouzi finally took revenge on SKT in the finals!"
On the contestants' bench, Uzi's face was glowing, and he entered the red-hot mode with a smile.
When shaking hands with SKT, the 200-pound Vayne showed a big smile to Faker.
Li Guapi's face was expressionless, and his heart was quite complicated.
Now, they can't even beat RNG.
Faker glanced at the settlement interface. His and Bang's records were exactly the same, both 1/1/3.
Tetsuo had 258 last hits and Kasumi had 251.
This is a punishing Kasumi!
Bang, you are in Gan Shen Mo!
He glanced at Bang. Bang still had the same expression, neither happy nor angry, with no desires or desires.
You can never wake up a meditating bang.
At this moment, Faker is worried not only about this intercontinental tournament, but also about SKT's summer split.
After a short break, the second game of the finals began.
IG vs. AFS.
In this game, the two sides fought fiercely from the early stage.
The heads alternately rise.
However, what is a little unlucky for AFS is that after they win, they have no resources. If IG wins, they can basically use Dragon and Tower to push the tower.
Under IG's frequent fighting rhythm, AFS was in chaos, which was completely different from the way they played in the LCK in the spring split. Pit was also miserable. His troll was killed by King Ning and Broiler twice in a row in the jungle.
Second-rate.
Starting from the Tulong team battle at 20 minutes and 7 seconds, AFS couldn't beat it.
Not only can they not compete with each other in terms of hero attributes, but they also cannot compare in terms of operation.
Ah Shui's Lucian is very aggressive, showing off in the waves, and killing suddenly is not a big problem. The two big brothers in the middle and top provide stable output.
The sword demon who showed great posture in the last scene slashed wildly, and the shy sword demon in this scene also slashed wildly.
That annoying Zoe in the middle broiler will die if she sleeps with anyone now.
At 23 minutes and 14 seconds, Rookie used a hypnotic bubble to sleep across the wall to the troll next to the red buff wall. Shy Man's Sword Demon and Ning Wang's Xin Zhao rushed up immediately. The damage done by the three of them stunned the Ai who wanted to come to support.
ng was scared away. As soon as the screen went dark, he yelled "Oh no!" and the LCK team in the background also knew that it was over!
IG didn't hesitate at all, you didn't play jungle, we just opened Baron.
King Ning punished the dragon and took it down steadily.
Using the Baron buff and the Broiler's continued harassment, IG defeated AFS on both high ground at 26 minutes and 35 seconds.
At 27 minutes and 01 seconds, when Broiler launched a super-long-range flying star and killed Ryze in the pants, everything, whether it was the barrage from the LPL TV station or other broadcast platforms, became lively.
Gone! AFS is gone!
"The 10th consecutive victory in the LPL intercontinental competition!"
"It's 2:0, damn! Snake hasn't appeared yet!"
"RNG is awesome! IG is awesome too! LPL is awesome!"
"Snake must have won these three games! Are you going to win them all and win the championship?!"
"M privately means a complete victory and championship! Is there another intercontinental competition?!"
Someone laughed and said: "Seven may be the biggest winner!"
"Qichang (spreading his hands): I studied the Intercontinental Finals and found that there is no need to play at all. There is something wrong with the LCK's thinking."
…
"The sword demon charges into the crowd, AFS can't stop it!"
"Congratulations to IG! Congratulations to LPL, we won the second game!"
The Haier brothers shouted excitedly.
At this moment, LPL backstage.
The factory director stood next to Li Hao and said to him with a smile:
"Brother, I just want to watch a show today, not play a game."
Li Hao joked:
"You are so passive and slow at work, remember to treat us to dinner."
"Okay!"
Ancestor Seven agreed immediately.
…
They are very happy here, but LCK is worried.
Right now, they have a world problem to deal with.
In the third game, who will fight Snake in the finals?
…
…
PS: Book friends, there will be more tonight.('-'*ゞ
