In early April, at the TSM base in Los Angeles, during the offseason, Li Hao and others not only trained and paid attention to the teams in the same division, they also set their sights on other divisions.
At this time, the spring playoffs in each major competition area are starting one after another.
In the next half month, teams from 13 regions around the world that are qualified to participate in MSI will be announced one after another.
As MSI approaches, there is more and more talk about the Mid-Season Invitational.
This year's MSI is destined to be different. In many people's imagination, the competition will be even more tragic.
In previous years, MSI was basically the stage for LCK and LPL.
The LEC has shown a renaissance since last year's S-League, and the LCS recruited the league's first player in the winter window. This makes today's TSM even more evil and has a bit of boundless power.
LPL and LCK are still strong. Let’s not mention other divisions. Just put these four spring championship teams together and it’s hard to guess who will have the last laugh.
With just a quick glance, you can tell that MSI in 2019 will be intense.
Time flies and it’s April 7th.
The LCS spring semifinals begin at the Chicago Theater.
For Li Hao, this is a familiar venue.
The venue for the quarter-finals of S6 was chosen here.
At five o'clock in the evening, the two teams from the top half of the semifinals entered the venue.
C9 and TL, the second and third brothers of the LCS this season, the two teams with the closest strength, are about to compete for the final tickets.
After a simple opening ceremony, the players of C9 and TL officially took their seats.
As for the TSM group, they were in a hotel on State Street in the Loop. The Chicago Theater was a nearby landmark building and was only 10 minutes away from the hotel they were staying in.
TSM is paying close attention to this round of games. C9 and TL are about the same strength, and they will definitely be able to use many hidden tricks.
What Li Hao is more curious about is, when TL is pushed to the limit, will Emperor Jian come up with the so-called trump card?
It wasn't that he was afraid of Jian Huang's trump card, but it was just that he often talked about it, and Li Hao also wanted to know what kind of art Jian Huang would do.
When the audience at the Chicago Theater burst into cheers, the LCS Spring Split semifinals officially began.
As many people predicted, the game between TL and C9 was particularly exciting!
In the first game, TL played with a unique understanding.
Jian Huang took out the new art, the great inventor of the mid lane.
Teacher Omu continues Kennen, Xthie plays Jungle Prince, and the duo is Wheel Mom and Galio.
As soon as this imaginative and very TL-style lineup came out, many people became serious about it. The version had just changed and everyone was judging the feasibility of the lineup.
On C9's side, they backhand a lineup of Vampire, Excavator, Zuo Yin, Varus, and Tahm.
As soon as the heroes on both sides locked up, the LPL viewers watching the broadcast were the first to react.
Isn’t C9 TSM’s system?
The entire lineup is copied from TSM.
This rhythm is familiar to LPL viewers!
In the 2018 season, Snake, led by Brother Gouqi, was unstoppable and created many routines and styles of play, such as the mid laner Klie's all-out rush. After that, many LPL teams followed suit and reaped the benefits.
Although it doesn't sound good to join just because you can't win, the bonus is really comfortable.
Just like Du Du in schoolbags, the Golden State jersey on the bed is the champion, it is really fragrant, and the same is true in the e-sports world.
At that time, there were more than one or two teams that followed Snake to get bonuses. Unexpectedly, this familiar scene appeared in the LCS again.
The path of C9 is really spacious.
TL's tactics are very novel, and Jian Huang's choice of the leader really made him enjoy the cheers from the scene.
However, these are all false and the game has never been played.
Svenskeren has been helping to catch the team in the early stage, which allowed Lript to take the captain position in the top lane. In the third game, he hit 40% of the damage ratio, leading the Canadians to more than 5,000 yuan in the line, and fired the first shot to save TL.
In the fourth game, Mr. Omu showed off his power again!
Kennen had a record of 4/0/7 in one hand, plus Zven used Varus to regain his feeling, and combined with Emperor Jian's resurrected Old Man Time, TL evened the score to 2:2!
In the decisive game, Jian Huang said, Teacher Damu, please take a break and I will take over.
Compared with P Huang's extraordinary performance in the playoffs, Jian Huang's performance in this round of semi-finals has been very stable, and the damage data is not too bad.
At the most critical moment, Emperor Jian showed no mercy.
Facing the Belgian Zuo Yin, he confidently chose LeBlanc.
After a bladder battle of 46 minutes and 10 seconds, TL finally finished with a head ratio of 16:10, allowing two to chase three!
Jianhuang scored 8/2/6, with 14 of his 16 kills related to him. Together with Zven, he cut 69% of the team's output, performing at the level of a key player.
Fans were surprised by TL's big comeback, and they were even more surprised by another thing: we still don't know what Jian Huang's trump card is?
LCS female host Ovilee was dressed in a costume and looked at Jian Huang who was beside her and was giving a speech excitedly.
Jensen: "More than an hour ago, I thought I was going to be eliminated. Unexpectedly, more than an hour later, I was standing on the stage savoring the feeling of victory. This is amazing."
"I am very happy and excited now. I feel like God is giving me a chance."
"OH~?"
Ovilee asked with a smile:
"What kind of opportunity is it?"
"Defeat The King?"
Jian Huang looked confident: "Of course, there is nothing more exciting than that."
Ovilee patted her proud career line: "Jensen, can you tell us a little bit?"
"What kind of trick does it make you choose to endure even after losing two games in a row to C9?"
Jian Huang, who entered the finals, did not avoid this question like before. He said insinuatingly:
"The King is the most powerful player in this league. Defeating him is the wish of all mid laners. I also want to defeat him and have done a lot of research."
The audience listened patiently to his story.
"In my opinion, defeating The King is not as difficult as imagined. Maybe most people will be a little worried when they see the ID of The King, which makes them lose their psychological initiative for the first time. I want to say, this is absolutely
Absolutely wrong!"
"Take the initiative and come up with a stronger desire to attack and attack methods. This is the first condition to defeat him."
"Next, I will take the initiative into my own hands."
"..."
Jensen paused again mid-sentence.
The emotions of many viewers were aroused.
Some mid laners looked thoughtful after listening to his words.
It cannot be denied that Jian Huang can be called the "anti-Hao pioneer" this season, and this is the second time he has spoken out.
After the first shot in Los Angeles, Huang Jian fired the second shot in Chicago.
On the post-game interview stage, Jian Huang was so confident and high-spirited.
The LCS Spring Finals seems to be his God-killing venue.
After hearing Jian Huang's call, the first person to respond was the Acid Emperor from the LEC.
That night, Sour Emperor tweeted, saying that he also agreed with Jian Huang's point of view.
What is surprising is that Magneto King, Mountain King, Dragon King, Pig King, and several consecutive king-level players all sent out tweets.
"When facing the number one player in the league, you must first not lose your momentum."
"The King is very strong, but he will always be defeated."
"I can't wait for the next showdown with The King. At that time, I will be more aggressive."
"I can understand what Jensen said, mid laners should do this."
…
In a short period of time, the unyielding emperors on Twitter united and joined forces, and all of them rebelled!
In the end, another ancient emperor of the LCS, Emperor P, who was on the same level as Emperor Jian, finally couldn't sit still.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emperor P rose up.
"Jensen awakened something inside me."
"It turns out there is an illusory mirror, and I see my own cowardice, panic and weakness."
"Now, I broke the mirror."
"Come on, your truest self!"
"Can't wait, Chicago Theater!"
"..."
Emperor P responded strongly and made big moves!
Some FLY team fans were stunned after seeing these words.
From the perspective of the audience, they cannot taste the oppression of the emperors in the middle, so naturally they cannot empathize with it.
So, King P suddenly felt hot and declared that he wanted to have a decisive battle with The King?
Are there no peanuts on FLY’s dinner table tonight?
Just in the last round, you, Pobelter, were also jumping around repeatedly, okay?
If Brother Yegui hadn't saved you, you, Emperor P, would have already gone fishing.
Regardless of whether others understand it or not, after this wave of operations came out, after a night and day of fermentation, the pre-game enthusiasm has exploded.
On April 8th, still at the Chicago Theater, the LCS second half semifinals officially began.
Many people want to see if Emperor P can become tougher.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, fans arrived early and the venue was overcrowded.
All TSM and FLY players were present, and when BP's background sound officially sounded, huge cheers erupted inside and outside the venue.
As the competition between TSM and FLY continued, the spectators in each competition area showed contradictory expressions of "Sure enough" and "Shocked".
Many people watching the game couldn't control their expressions at all, and even laughed out loud on the spot.
The strong King P who came to the semi-finals finally had no luck.
King P says "no" to repeated horizontal jumps!
So, what makes FLY fans collapse is...
Regardless of whether it was a stupid chicken or a stuck one, these two took turns to log in, using heroes with different strengths, and they all cooperated with Li Hao to implement a high-pressure policy against King P.
On FLY's side, jungler Santorin had no choice but to find a collision with TSM in the middle.
Helping a disadvantaged lane can cause FLY's situation to collapse quickly.
In three consecutive games, King P used Zuo Yin three times, and his performance was even more difficult than when he played FOX in the last round.
King P played steadily, played a tough style, and contributed three consecutive war criminal-level performances!
Li Hao grabbed Emperor P and killed him violently!
The data column was maxed out on the spot!
There was a lot of laughter in the LCS studio.
Smith revealed his scars on the spot:
"Hahaha, I thought Pobelter was just joking with Jensen, but I didn't expect that he really wanted to compete with The King."
"Why would Pobelter believe what Jensen said?"
"I think everyone should feel sorry for ildTurtle, he is an innocent victim."
"..."
Riv analyzed:
"No matter where the prediction is, Fly's winning rate against TSM in this round is less than 40%."
"I was also optimistic that TSM would win, but I didn't expect that it would take such a short time."
"The average length of the semifinals was 22 minutes. It was the only one in the entire league. I have to say that Pobelter made a great contribution."
…
"FLY was swept, TSM advanced to the finals."
"Guys, the finals performance we are looking forward to is about to begin."
"Jensen, you should give us a surprise."
"Haha, there will definitely be surprises..."
"The 2019 LCS Spring Split is about to enter its final stop. On April 14, we will witness it all at Madison Square Garden in New York."
"..."
…
