"The gap is very big and it creates too much trouble."
Smith from the North American studio said: "This round of sweeps is no surprise. No one can surpass The King's sweep record of North American league teams in 2019. C9 is imitating TSM's tactics last year. They have made great progress this season, thanks to The King Inspiration for the LCS, but when facing The King head-on, what C9 has learned will be seen through at a glance.”
"After three games, from BP to on-field operations and tactical execution, C9 was clearly at a disadvantage. The second game lasted for thirty-five minutes, which can be considered a miracle for C9."
"Nisqy was single-handedly defeated by the powerful The King. He was unable to handle The King. In addition, the team's thinking was not clear to Snake. C9's failure seems to have been doomed long ago."
David on the side agreed very much:
"So, our predictions in advance are all 3-0."
"The powerful leader of the alliance showed off his force at will. Nisqy could only wave the burned and broken flag, helplessly staring at the ruins at his feet."
"This is Snake after The King returns, the powerful dynasty that has attracted the attention of the e-sports world!"
"..."
There was not as much noise in the LCK commentary box as there was in the LPL and LCS. The commentary team led by Kim Dongjun kept feeding back one thing to the Korean audience:
"We don't need to discuss the controversy after the joint interview anymore. It doesn't matter what riddle The King came up with now."
"That's right, Snake has reached the finals again."
"Next, we have to pay close attention to tomorrow's game. T1 will work hard to defeat G2. Let's join Snake in the Magic City Finals!"
Eunjun said: “We must admit that LCK is already a weak side.”
"But we still believe in miracles."
"As long as we reach the finals, we will definitely have a chance!"
"Overthrow the dynasty team, defeat the first player in e-sports, and look for the past glory of the LCK. All the glory and splendor worth looking forward to are waiting in the Magic City."
"Come on T1!"
Emperor Baoxiao is not in the studio, but the LCK players have all become Emperor Baoxiao.
When the most terrifying dynasty in the history of e-sports comes to the finals again, the LCK is under great pressure. It looks up to the dome. It is four years of darkness. In the fifth year, will a hero from the LCK come and break the darkness?
Amidst the deep worry, there is a hint of hope.
…
Accompanied by the cheers at the Olympic Sports Center, the Snake team arrived at the C9 player seat.
This is the last handshake before the host sends C9 away.
Nisqy: "TheKing, LCS without you makes people feel lonely."
Li Hao gave face and responded: "Let's meet again in this year's S game."
The people in North America who were swept away were not too depressed and happily accepted the result.
What makes Enhuang more disappointed is that
He took the initiative to chat, but failed to hear the "Future Sutra" from Shi Yizhong's mouth.
If I say "The future is yours" again, Enhuang's trip to China will be complete.
…
Sister Tuozi: "Director, you have reached the MSI finals again after 2015. How do you feel now?"
In the post-game interview, the young man with Jarhead rarely stopped working, and his tone was sincere:
"Of course I'm happy to reach the finals. Thanks to our brother Hao, it's really a great experience to be teammates with the aliens."
He even laughed at himself:
"I feel that in a game, even if I don't contribute 4,500 points of damage, I can still win the game, because there is a super-powerful output machine in the middle."
Sister Hunchback, who understood the value of 4396 very well, couldn't help but laugh and asked again:
"Then what does the factory director want to do most now?"
Everyone thought that the factory director would say something like champion.
Unexpectedly
"I want a time machine that allows me to take it back to S2."
…
Sister Tuozi: "Brother Qiang, we once again teamed up with Brother Hao to reach the mid-season finals. Is there anything you want to share with everyone?"
Flandre said with a smile: "Share your feelings, I am very happy. I have been recalling this scene last year."
"For me, playing games with Brother Hao is the way I am accustomed to."
"It would be perfect if Brother Hao wouldn't be so cruel to me."
Holy Spear now has three crowns in hand, and he is also the player who has been with the first e-sports player for the longest time. His status in the league is quite high.
Assuming that Li Hao is positioned at the Jordan level, the holy gun is Pippen.
Sister Tuozi thought of the recent storm of joint interviews and boldly asked an out-of-the-box question:
"Brother Qiang, do you have any plans for your future career?"
"Of course."
Before Sister Tuozi finished her follow-up questions, Shengqiang rushed to answer:
"2019 has made us think about one thing. Playing games with Brother Hao now is my biggest source of motivation and happiness."
"If Brother Hao retires one day in the future, I will accompany him."
Sister Tuozi did not expect that when she threw a firecracker, she really attracted thousands of troops. The audience in the Olympic Sports Center and in front of the screen were all surprised by the Holy Spear's answer.
You know, Flandre is in her prime at this time. If she sets a flag in front of so many people, if she doesn't fulfill it, she will be severely slapped in the face.
Old fans can understand Flandre's mood:
"Before Brother Hao, the Holy Spear could only be reduced to empty slashing. At that time, the Snakes were quite confused, and their only advantage was that they played well. The arrival of Brother Hao had the greatest impact on the career of the Holy Spear, otherwise he would never have
Today’s brilliant achievements.”
"We are already in a three-champion dynasty. With Snake's momentum, it is very possible to win four crowns with Brother Hao. That honor will definitely rank second in the league. If you think about it, if Brother Hao doesn't fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to win the Holy Spear.
Come on, cheer up."
"Cry me to death, Brother Gun is the true love!"
"Pure brother e-sports!"
…
After the Holy Gun interview, the director switched to a funny scene.
When Flandre was returning to the player tunnel, perhaps because of the call, everyone vaguely saw Shi Yizhong pinching the back of the Holy Spear's neck in the tunnel.
Therefore, Holy Spear told the truth, Brother Hao is quite vicious.
Uzi, Lumao, Xiaohang and others were interviewed one after another.
Everyone can feel that the Snakes team is high-spirited, united and confident in the upcoming finals.
The semi-final opponent C9, as the loser, also faced the camera.
Travis Gafford is a famous LCS reporter. He has his own YouTube channel and often posts videos about LCS. He also works for Espn. He immediately found Blaber immediately after the game commentary. Without the local advantage of LPL media people, he
.
He is the American jungler next to Enhuang. He used wine barrels in all three games today. Because the midfielder and jungler combined to send several waves, he is definitely one of the war criminals in the semifinals.
But Blaber showed no shame in front of the camera.
He told Travis Gafford: "As you all saw, I played Gragas three times."
"In the Spring Split, my Gragas played a total of eight games. It is the hero I use most frequently, and the winning rate is 100%! In the LCS, my Gragas is invincible."
"We tried our best to fight against Snake today, but in front of the best player in the world, we lost."
"I'm sorry, I have regained the memory of the 2019 season. He is still the same The King, maybe even stronger."
"Nisqy, I, we are all looking forward to continuing to fight Snake."
"We hope The King is as strong as it is now, because that in itself is as crazy as winning the championship."
Blaber suddenly laughed: "Being able to enter the regional competition in the spring split and witness it personally in the world arena is already a success for C9."
"Congratulations to SheKing, I believe they will be the champions."
"..."
When Blaber's voice returned to China, North American fans were not surprised at all.
Because from the moment the semifinal matchup list was officially established, C9 was swept out 3-0 in the hearts of the majority of LCS fans.
In the year when the LCS was dominated in 2019, they could find too much material about Shi Yizhong defeating the North American team. No matter what methods the opponent used, it all seemed futile in front of him.
Legends and superheroes are not something Cricket C9 can compete with.
Regarding this era of e-sports, people have already had a common answer in their minds.
…
“Dududu”
At 11:30 pm on May 17, 2020, Faker’s cell phone rang on the table.
He opened the bulletin and checked a message from Li Hao.
"Guapi, we won't stay in Jinling and will leave for the Magic City tomorrow."
"I will watch the game between T1 and G2 in Shanghai."
"In my impression, when G2 plays games with T1 and SKT, they always have too much energy. Maybe you will have a fierce battle tomorrow."
"but"
"No matter whether T1 wins or loses tomorrow, I invite you to come to Magic City for an appointment. I know you are bringing Halla Mountain with you. Then we can go to the Huangpu River to relive the past season."
"April hurt you a lot. I hope you can get rid of all that and face May again, because there will be new tests waiting for you."
"Magic City is the place where you once won the championship. Please leave some memorable memories this time (smiley face)."
…
"Axi~!"
After reading this, Guapi in the hotel already imagined someone snickering sinisterly.
Faker has long learned how to use picture emoticons in chat. He posted a dog with a sarcastic expression on his face.
Also with the words:
"Wait in the magic city, don't underestimate people!"
Faker's chatting method obviously has no lethality. If it had, Eunjing would have been taken down long ago.
Kouma, who lived in the same room as him, noticed something strange about Faker: "What's wrong?"
"Li Hao left you a message?"
"That's right."
"This guy is as annoying as before. If I weren't not familiar with this chat software, I would have deleted him long ago."
"hehe"
Kuan Ma sneered and said secretly that he had no ambition.
Anything unfamiliar is an excuse.
When Faker relayed Li Hao's message to Kuama, Kuama's coach was also confused.
"Axi, we are looked down upon by him."
I wanted to say something harsh when I buckled the horse.
But he thought again.
G2, which T1 defeated, still had to face Snake when they arrived in the Magic City.
In the two group matches, they lost miserably on both the red and blue sides.
"Xianghe, how many chances do you think we have when we get to the Magic City?"
"unimportant."
The big devil said firmly: "No matter what the odds of winning are, I will never give up."
"I'm not willing to defeat this guy once before he leaves the league!"
Faker was deeply troubled by the content of the joint interview, and he thought of more things.
This fight in Shanghai is extremely crucial to his career.
Kuama was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and said quietly:
"Yes, we won the championship once in Shanghai."
"Oriental Sports Center, this venue is no stranger to us."
"Xianghe"
"Um?"
They looked at each other, buckled their horses and said, "Let's fight this time."
…
At six o'clock in the evening on May 18, 2020, the second half of the Msi semi-finals started between T1 and G2.
At that time, Snake, who had arrived in the Magic City first, was also watching today's game.
In Li Hao's ears, Holy Spear, Uzi and others were chattering.
From a normal psychological point of view, everyone in the Snake Team definitely hopes that G2 can win.
Playing G2 is easier than playing T1.
A head-on battle with G2 is much more energy-saving than a tactical and tactical fight with T1.
What's more important is that as soon as Ah P saw Shi Yizhong, he sent a few waves of abnormal rhythm and was purely undercover.
The progress of the game between the two sides is similar to what outside research and discussion have shown, with T1 being the stronger side.
But G2 was very energetic in beating T1, and the scene was always back and forth.
In the first game, the battle between the two sides reached 40 minutes. Both junglers died in the ancient dragon pit. The captain used Kalista's spear-drawing technique to grab the ancient dragon. The balance was broken, and the T1 wave ended the game.
The process is dangerous. If the prince of Yancos holds on for a second longer, the result will be different.
Because Cuzz was the one who died first.
In the second game, G2 enlarged their moves.
The top laner defeated Black Chenar, the jungler Pan Sen, the mid laner Zuo Yin, the AD Ice Spear Rock Bird, and the assist Thresh.
This lineup is very suitable for G2's personnel configuration, and it is very good at playing the Mage Cap King.
In the spring split, they tried many times and defeated European teams repeatedly.
For example, SK team's mid laner Jenax once collapsed under G2's system.
The control of the bottom lane took the lead and jungler Pan Sen was added. The captain who won the MVP in the previous game became a breakthrough in this game.
In just 26 minutes and 01 seconds, G2 won T1 with a head ratio of 19:8!
T1 was defeated by a sudden change of black technology, and even the Snake team who watched the game took it seriously.
In the third game, G2 tasted the sweetness of their continued tactics.
Top laner Sett, jungler Panson, mid laner Aircraft, AD Rockbird, and assist Thresh.
What made the Korean audience's hearts beat wildly was that G2, who revealed their killer move, defeated T1 repeatedly at 35 minutes and 41 seconds with a score of 22:11.
A's sword demon and AD female gun all exploded.
T1, who was hurt by the beating, finally became honest and banned Pantheon and Rock Bird in BP.
This allowed Cap King to get a strong version of Aphelios.
However, after selecting the regular lineup, G2 lost the fourth game and the two sides tied at 2:2.
When the war song sounded, G2 selected Variant Art in the fifth game.
Top laner Sword Demon, jungler Death Song, mid laner Ornn, AD female gun, and auxiliary female tank.
This is G2’s final trump card.
In the spring split, they had a similar lineup and beat XL.
European King's lineup is very capable, but unfortunately, T1 in the fifth game played too well at the beginning.
Cuzz finally found the line left by Senior Benji under the water dispenser. He caught it repeatedly and no longer fell into the trap of entangled with G2 in the bottom lane.
The big devil's Ryze got 3 kills in six minutes.
Ryze has gained weight, and no one in G2's lineup can control him.
In addition, in the mid-term, the big devil used his ultimate move to lead Cuzz to radiate influence towards the side lanes, continuously catching the dead cap king, and G2 forced the fire dragon group to destroy the group.
In chaos, G2, which lacked a stabilizing force, lost control of the situation, and T1 made the fastest wave of this series in 23 minutes!
When they defeated G2 3:2, on the T1 player bench, the big devil who originally clenched his fists finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If he really loses to G2, he will definitely break the contract.
He didn't want to be treated as a joke by that man.
The LCK studio let out huge cheers, and T1 entered the finals.
In 2020, the final battle of MSI will take place between the rival teams of China and South Korea.
No matter what the outside world predicts.
This set of duels is an e-sports Spring Festival Gala in an absolute sense.
Many spectators at the Olympic Sports Center who wanted to see Brother Li beat Brother Li gave T1 applause.
The Big Devil saved T1 with Ryze's superb performance, which seemed to be the passionate clarion call he sounded before facing Shi Yizhong.
…
"Xiumei, T1 wins!"
The second uncle said happily.
In the hotel, Xu Xiu nodded and looked longingly in the direction of the Oriental Stadium:
"Jianfu, let's go to the Magic City Finals together."
"good!"
The second uncle readily agreed and said: "It's a wonderful game, but it's a pity that we didn't get to play."
"Xiumei, we must not be absent this summer."
…
…
PS: Good night book friends, we will update on time before 23:59 tomorrow night.
