Chapter 536 I didnt know what my opponent was back then
Looking through all the historical records of the S competition, has the LCS North American Division ever entered the semi-finals?
It only happened once, and it was also the TSM team.
However, that was the ancient S1 season, and there were only eight teams in total, with NA and EU accounting for the majority. The remaining two teams were experienced babies from the Philippines and Singapore, and had no gold content at all.
So, for NA.
TSM's current results in S9 are already the best in history!
Live in Madrid, the host commented that Coster firmly occupied the C position. He specially made an explosive hairstyle, which matched his loud voice at this time, which was a bit like a lion's roar:
"3-0, TSM swept SKT! They gave those doubters a loud slap in the face, God, even I find it incredible."
"Charles, we just discussed the fourth game, right?"
"certainly."
Charles spread his hands: "This is the SKT team, the champion of the LCK Summer Split. Who would have thought that they could not win a game in the knockout rounds."
"To be honest, my understanding of the LCK team is changing."
"All this is caused by The King!"
European Haofui Peak heard his companion say this and laughed loudly: "That's right! This is TheKing, the LCK team that others are afraid of. They are like a small dessert in front of him."
"The Samsung team in 2016 was the second Korean team to be swept after Najin White Shield. It also officially opened The King's dominance over the LCK team."
"In the entire alliance, only The King has such strength."
"Before the game, people discussed whether Faker could come back from the battles he always lost. Now it seems that he just lost more completely. The King's three superb games were the direct factor in defeating SKT."
"Facing TheKing like this, Faker has nothing to do!"
"Faker is a legendary player, but they are no longer on the same level. The King's height is beyond the reach of countless professional players."
Coster boasted so much that Charles on the side saw no problem.
The audience in Madrid applauded and praised.
Quarterfinals, three amazing games!
Facing a team like SKT, many local European audiences have seen the world.
Under the desperate eyes of the stickmen, all members of TSM stood up and accepted the thunderous cheers from the scene.
Bilson walked in front, followed closely by Senior Brother and Black. Li Hao pulled the stupid chicken, and everyone headed to the SKT players' bench together.
Brother Han, who has a strong mentality, is now sitting on the gaming chair like a plague.
In the process of being swept by TSM, he Khan was definitely one of the war criminals.
Next to him, Clid, like Khan, felt weak when shaking hands.
Reach out, retract your hands, and end this painful process quickly.
The big devil suppressed the feeling of collapse. His eyes were slightly swollen. After shaking hands with Blake, he glanced at Benji and Li Hao.
"Xiangxianghe."
Regardless of how tough the idiot was when he spoke to Li Hao, he still couldn't bear it after actually sending the big devil out of the arena with his own hands.
Faker's current desire for the championship is very clear to stupid chicken.
Especially after the rise of Li Hao, Faker wanted to prove that he didn't have to be inferior to Li Hao, but the more he proved, the farther away he was from the result he wanted.
What if, he becomes an accomplice and eliminates Faker together with Li Hao.
One can imagine the latter's mood.
The big devil took a deep breath and looked tense. This was his limit.
"You bastard!"
Faker can't blame the stupid chicken. On the field, the stupid chicken has to do that.
He scolded lowly, and with the hand that was not shaking hands, he clenched his fist and punched Benji's body.
The stupid chicken looked like it was in pain and let the devil relieve his hatred.
Under the lens, this scene is clearly presented.
The old audience members smiled, already thinking about the grudges and grudges.
They could also see that the man standing next to Benji was also smiling.
At the same time, he said something to Faker.
Faker, who had a tight face, immediately showed a rather disgusted expression.
"Xianghe, what Wolfberry said is true."
"I have discussed with him that if we defeat SKT, we will put you on the plane."
The stupid chicken also sighed:
"You should know that this is my last season."
"I have to serve in the military next year. When I come back, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to play in a professional league again."
"Xiang He, this is the last time the three of us will get together on the field."
"If I have time, I hope we can have a brief gathering in Madrid."
"..."
"All right."
At Benji's begging, the big devil agreed.
When shaking hands with Li Hao, the Big Devil asked the question that was lingering in his mind:
"Did this guy lie about his age?"
"Huh~~"
"At 25 years old, in the best version, Ma Run has already given me a huge shock. You are older and stronger than him. This is really impossible."
"Actually, like me, you are only 23 years old, right?"
"..."
The stupid chicken was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Faker was still obsessed with this issue.
They had discussed it many times back then.
Li Hao let go of his hand:
"I really can't believe it at my age."
"Actually, I am 18 this year."
"Xianghe, if this happens, will you feel better?"
"..."
Such nonsense made Lee Sang Hyuk roll his eyes. He regretted that he shouldn't have asked these questions.
Wolfberry, I must be very proud of myself.
After missing the captain, when Li Hao shook hands with Effort, he noticed that Effort's hand was trembling slightly.
this.
South Korea gave way to the emperor?
Effort left a sentence that impressed Li Hao deeply:
"Master told me that you are an unforgettable person in his career."
"At that time, I didn't understand the meaning of his words."
"Now, I understand it very deeply."
For such a young player, Li Hao not only patted his shoulder to express encouragement, but also told Effort seriously, "The future is yours."
But today, with the Internet being so developed, professional players have long known not to believe such nonsense.
Effort doesn't believe it either.
But like his master Wolf, he has an unforgettable person in his career.
Before participating in the World Championship, Effort never thought that S9 would have a team that could sweep them out of the knockout rounds.
Magical reality, created by legendary people.
"..."
"You should say you are 24, then Sang Hyuk might believe it. Saying 18 is too reluctant."
As the stupid chicken walked, he shook his head and said.
"I didn't lie to him. During the competition, I always regarded myself as an 18-year-old player."
Stupid Chicken: "Self-comfort, or psychological suggestion?"
Li Hao smiled: "It's not appropriate. You can describe it in a more professional way."
The stupid chicken's head was electrified: "Meditation!"
Li Hao looked like a child who could be taught.
Immediately, Benji started to think powerfully. He thought of "Ritian Xue" and many, many more.
The next moment, as he arrived at the live stage in Madrid, he was reminded of one of the biggest questions in the league world.
"Alas~~"
His elbow touched Li Hao's arm.
"What's wrong?"
"When you were 18 years old, what was your state in the e-sports field? Regardless of your mentality, what was your pure personal operation like? Can you describe it?"
Stupid chicken is like a curious baby.
How strong is the 18-year-old TheKing?
Hearing a low hum, Li Hao raised his chin slightly and looked up at the lights above the Allegre Palace in Madrid's Vista.
He recalled:
“I don’t remember very clearly”
"When I was 18, I had my hands in my pockets and didn't know what my opponent was."
"..."
His words sounded a bit arrogant and a bit stinky, but the stupid chicken was inexplicably convinced.
The 18-year-old wolfberry must be very, very scary.
In the field of e-sports, I’m afraid I really don’t know what my opponent is.
…
The TSM players stood on the stage and thanked the audience.
The applause lasted until the post-match interview began.
"TheKing, you put in another great series!"
"..."
In Malibu, west of Los Angeles, in a bar near the beach, a burst of noise suddenly broke out.
This bar called "sun" has a variety of styles. Celebrities and rich people living around Malibu will also come here to party.
Today, it has become a complete e-sports club.
It is wrapped in a strong alliance element.
The owner of the bar, Joel, is 37 years old. He is a typical Los Angeles native with a beer belly, and his father and grandfather are both Arizona cowboys. Joel has inherited the cowboy genes from his ancestors to a certain extent.
In today's bar, Joel is also wearing a Mexican-style wide-brimmed high-top felt hat.
However, he did not carry a Colt revolver on his waist or a Winchester rifle on his shoulder, nor did he wear a cartridge belt. Instead, he wore an alternative cowboy outfit with a sword slung across his waist.
People who are familiar with the Alliance can recognize it at a glance. It is the cosplayer of Yasuo's western cowboy skin.
But from the front, Joel looks more like a Western barrel.
The Hormone Zone, which was originally a resident bar singer with girls dancing around on poles, has become Joel's home field. He controls the DJ and shouts with his mouth wide open:
"OH! TSM swept SKT!"
"Guys, I've told you before, whether they can or they can't, so can The King. I know him too well!"
"This is the passionate e-sports that belongs to the LCS. The King has given this region a crucial dose of adrenaline. We can finally enjoy the LCS games!"
He changed his voice and roared: "In the past few seasons, do you know how I got here? Every time I played in the S game, I had to smash a lot of monitors!"
"Victory, who can bring victory to LCS!"
"The King, only The King!"
"OHHHH~~!!!" A group of demons danced wildly in the bar, and there were shouts and cheers.
Everyone around knows that the boss Joel is an avid fan of Hao.
It’s so fanatical that if you are not a Hao fan here today, you are not allowed to enter!
Even the boss’s daughter Susan is a huge fan.
Here in Malibu, this bar is famous for this, and it is the base of the top LCS fans in the Malibu area.
Those who love league e-sports can enjoy it better here.
For example, the three games just now were a complete e-sports feast for them!
"let us be together."
"LCS needs TheKing!"
"We need The King!"
"..."
Joel shouted a slogan, and the e-sports fans watching the game also shouted too. The whole bar was very magical.
On the central screen, Li Hao, who was being interviewed, said something to the camera, and someone translated it in English.
People in the Madrid scene and bars heard it clearly.
Adelina (Madrid host):
"TheKing, TSM entered the semi-finals, and you have set a new record."
"Someone once said that the LCS is a very weak division, and there is a gap in hard power between it and the top divisions. Even you can't lead the LCS to the championship. What do you think of this problem?"
Li Hao: "Before 2016, the LPL division did not win the championship, but in the following three years, the LPL entered the dynasty stage."
"In 2016, few people believed that the championship belonged to Snake."
"I have faced the same doubt more than once."
"Words from your mouth are weak and weak, but your real achievements are sharp."
"I prefer to respond to all this with the final result."
"..."
At that moment, Shi Yizhong's face was filled with confidence.
His stance is tougher than in 2016, but he has too much capital.
At the Vista Allegre Palace in Madrid, there were no boos at the scene, only cheers and cheers. Even the spectators from the opposing competition area could not deny this momentum.
Everyone understood the meaning of Shi Yizhong's words.
He can lead the LPL to break through the darkness, and he can also lead the LCS to the light.
"That's right!"
"That's right!"
In the SUN bar, Joel shouted again: "Wherever he goes, there will be an S crown!"
"This is the number one person in the league!"
"Lead us, the LCS needs a champion!"
Someone in the bar yelled: "Let's win a championship. The first S championship in nine years. We have waited too long. This will definitely make the competition area excited!"
"Parade, it's in Los Angeles, it's time for us to celebrate!"
"..."
After that, the bar kept shouting "The King".
In North America, similar scenes occur everywhere.
The commotion in some places is even greater, and even in some wild card regions, some people are excited about it.
They are not fans of the LCS, but they are fans of Li Hao.
In this year of LCS, with Riot's full operation, Li Hao's influence in the e-sports world has truly spread to all parts of the world.
After the brief interview with TSM, the other two teams took the stage.
Over Spain, the disciples of Yujianmen were a little panicked.
The game between RNG and DWG is about to begin.
Once the sword breaks, they will all fall from the sky over Spain.
When the BP officially started, Yujianmen fans and LPL commentators were in the same mood. They hoped that RNG could study some changes in the few days after the group stage.
However.
In this round of eliminations, RNG has changed over and over again, changing the soup without changing the medicine.
Let the wolves roam freely, focusing on the bottom lane.
The LCK audience has just experienced the tragedy of SKT, and they are feeling disappointed.
But soon, they came from great sorrow to great joy.
In the first game, Xiu Mei transformed into the god of war and used tricks to kill RNG. She scored 10 kills and 0 kills with no solution!
In just 26 minutes, RNG collapsed!
Assi, you are so strong!
This is what an LCK team should be like.
The guys are in high spirits.
In the second game, DWG blossomed more, and the midfielder and jungler jointly caught up, allowing Niuguli's Akali to take off completely.
Uzi's development in this game is actually pretty good.
However, in the team battle, he had to face Xiumei, Niuguli and Canyon, and the error tolerance was too small.
The rhythm is slowly being mastered by DWG.
At 34 minutes, DWG successfully captured the Baron by operating vision and military lines.
This was a reminder, causing RNG to lose two highlands.
Two minutes later, Uzi's face turned red and he had no choice but to hand over the match point.
RNG tried to change their tactics, but when they came to the red side, their BP was restricted and they released the OP version of Super Model.
Although Qiyana had appeared before and lost, this hero was in Canyon's hands and completely exceeded RNG's expectations.
This time, Xiu Mei is willing to be the green leaf, and mid laner Galio works closely with Canyon, repeatedly providing Canyon with perfect entry opportunities.
Super God!
Super awesome again!
From Canyon!
The talented DWG is showing off his talent.
It's obviously a very impulsive and risky play, but it can mess up RNG.
After 27 minutes and 9 seconds, LCK fans cheered!
"It's not over yet, we still have DWG!"
"Yes, DWG is stronger! More energetic than SKT!"
An old stickman said in surprise: "Perhaps DWG is the team that emerged as the times require. Their style of play is more suitable for facing TSM! This group of fearless and talented young people will create infinite possibilities in S9!"
"Xiumei, you are about to face your idol and surpass that man!"
"..."
The LPL side was also shocked:
"Is DWG so powerful?!"
"Really sweeping RNG!"
"I feel so bad for Gouzi. The sword is broken again. It's so miserable~!"
"RNG hid it for a long time. I thought there was something new, but it turned out that there were still plane tickets."
"There was a colossus that reached the top of the sky, and five fierce battles changed the emperor's destiny. There was Nirvana S9, and the demon king Uzi boarded the plane together. As fate would have it, Dunima is like ape dung."
"..."
It is common for LPL players to have broken swords. Anyway, they can recast the sword next year.
In other words, once the sword is broken, you can prepare for S10 in advance.
LPL players are not frustrated because they still have IG.
The same goes for LCS, LCK, and LEC divisions.
In the S9 season, for the first time in the history of e-sports, the top four teams are from four different divisions!
This means that the strength of each major competition area is getting closer.
S9 is about to enter the most exciting and exciting stage!
