Chapter 692: A short-lived flash in the pan, and another prosperous age
On the evening of October 11th.
Former Snake retired player Cuihua and IG jungler Ning Wang were invited as guests to the lottery stage. In front of them were two lottery pools with silver balls, one for the first seed and one for the second seed.
SN, TES, and JDG are trembling, hoping that they are not the lucky one.
After Cuihua's hand, the first team to be drawn out was DWG, followed by G2.
Ranked in the top half with G2, although it is not as good as some players faced G2 in the past. Xu Xiu, Ershu, Niu Guli and others are very happy. This is the best draw, there is nothing better than this.
Yes.
Who wants to get into a semi-final with Snake?
Meeting in the finals and meeting in the semifinals are completely two concepts.
The legend, the exposure, the bonuses, it's all different.
"pretty!"
“Bravo Cuihua!”
Backstage at SN, everyone is happier than the other.
According to the principle of not meeting each other before the finals of the same group, TES in Group A and JDG in Group B must avoid being first in the group, so the two teams can only appear in the bottom half. One of their teams will be directly assigned to play with Snake in the quarters.
finals.
The sexy fan stared at the green flowers on the screen, feeling a lot in her heart.
Unexpectedly, his former competitor would help him in a world competition.
Even if it is accidental and inadvertent, it is still magical.
Snake, GEN, are assigned to the lower half.
The Samsung generals were silent.
In the past time, Li Hao caused them too much pain.
Since 2016, the team led by Li Hao has always swept them time and time again.
The players have changed, but the pain remains.
Especially King Chi, when he saw the ID TheKing, his head was as big as a bucket and he really didn't want to face it.
Bdd said: "Is it possible for Snake to be eliminated in the quarter-finals?"
"We all have this fantasy, but it's just a fantasy."
Clid spread his hands: "Playing against Snake is a kind of torture."
Edger did not allow everyone to be so discouraged. He encouraged: "No matter who the opponent is, we just need to fight hard."
"If you want to win the championship, you always have to defeat the strongest opponent."
"..."
Snake's momentum is so scary. They are the only team to win all the games in the group stage. They can easily win even if they change formations in the bottom lane. This shows that they have a deep foundation.
Coupled with two thrilling five-kills in the group stage, the dominance of the number one player in e-sports can be seen with the naked eye.
No matter how hard Edger and the Samsung uniform staff give them, they can't get rid of the thorn in the hearts of the GEN players.
Anyone facing such an opponent will be under great pressure.
After Cuihua is drawn, King Ning appears.
Ah Shui wanted to call him a good brother, but King Ning stretched out his hand, and JDG was drawn out. JDG in the upper half had to avoid it, and could only be placed next to Snake, who was drawn out first in the lower half.
In the quarter-finals, JDG faced off against Snake.
The duels of each group are released one after another.
In the other group in the lower half, Samsung plays against Taobo.
In the top half, DWG and DRX are also in a civil war in the LCK.
G2 faced off against SN.
Except for JDG, the other teams are quite satisfied.
After the lottery is completed, each team only has three days to prepare.
On October 12, everyone set off to the Guangzhou Stadium together.
LPL players are very happy these two days. Among the top eight teams in the world, there are four LPL teams.
LPL will take half of the money, and the rest will be given to the world's top players.
Among the four teams, there is also a powerful dynasty like Snake with the first person in e-sports. This is destined to be the golden heyday of the LPL.
After arriving in Yangcheng, the eight teams quickly adapted to the environment and immediately started training in the training room prepared by Riot.
On October 14th, everyone came to the Yangcheng Gymnasium one day early to get familiar with it.
Snake has the largest entourage. Ale, Gala, and Serena, who are not on the roster, were all brought along by Zuo Wu. They seemed very excited in Wuhan.
Although they couldn't play, as a member of Snake, they could still experience the atmosphere of the S game.
Accompanying an invincible galactic battleship, the journey brought them quite a shock.
Entering the S game for the first time, the cheers of the audience and the atmosphere made their blood swell.
Inside Yangcheng Stadium...
When Li Hao and others were pulled by the staff to rehearse, Gala asked in a low voice while taking pictures with her mobile phone:
"Awei, how do you feel when you see so many spectators?"
"It's shocking."
Serena smiled and said: "When we actually arrived at the S game, many things were different from what I imagined, especially when I was waiting to go on stage and the sound of the scene was heard backstage. I felt nervous even before I played the game.
"
"You can't read it on your mobile phone."
"If JDG and the others read the forum before defeating DWG, their mentality would definitely explode."
"You have to admire Brother Hao."
He glanced in the direction of the stage: "I observed silently, Brother Hao never seemed nervous."
"Only when you are around him can you understand what it means to be a real grand occasion man. Xiaohang told me that he was quite nervous at first, but his heart calmed down as soon as he saw Brother Hao."
A Lele laughed: "Isn't this nonsense?"
"As soon as Brother Hao appeared on the stage, the other person immediately became nervous."
"That's two five kills!"
"Brother Hao gets five kills in the S game every year, and I only need to get five kills in the S game once in my life."
Gala became familiar with him and struck him face to face:
"It's quite difficult for you."
"The vast majority of professional players will never get a pentakill in the S game in their lifetime. If you have this idea, don't drink ice Coke next time and pick up a thermos cup as soon as possible. This is your only chance."
"..."
Although they have only stayed at Snake for less than half a year, the feeling given to these newcomers is that they seem to have learned more and experienced more in the past six months than before combined.
When the number one person in e-sports who has won countless honors is still training so hard in front of you and never forgets his original intention, then he realizes that in his limited life, they should seize the time and dance on the keyboard.
Learning from the heart and using subjective initiative made all three of them feel fulfilled and each made progress.
In the previous games played in the secondary league, they were all MVP-level performances.
Snake is very effective in their targeted training.
Now I understand why those who came to Snake all became stronger and reached the peak of their careers.
This is an excellent environment.
The number one player in e-sports, he has shaped the culture of the most successful team in the league world.
When Zuo Wu recruited Li Hao to the Snake Team, his original intention was to use the experience of veterans to build a team culture.
At this moment, they accidentally collided and coincided with each other.
…
On October 15th, in the Guangzhou Stadium, the LCK civil war began.
DWG dialogue DRX.
Longcha held his breath and wanted to get past the big turtle, so that they would have a chance to enter the finals.
In the first game of the quarter-finals, the two sides staged a classic operation. DWG seized on the mistake of Dragon Cha to take the Dragon Soul, Baron and Ancient Dragon, and then ended the game with overwhelming force. Pyosik was about to cry now, Qian Jue played close to 39
Minutes, only 4432 points of damage.
Chaowei definitely didn't lose, with 410 dollars in the lead.
In the second game between the two sides, DRX defeated the Big Turtle in a team battle in the jungle and the whole team gained an advantage. Unexpectedly, in the subsequent wave of DWG, Ornn and Thresh made contributions. At a disadvantage, they chased the Dragon Cha and DWG got the big advantage.
The dragon nibbled away the dragon fork again.
DWG got three match points and became more comfortable. In the early stage of the third game, Beryl Panson's roaming took advantage. Second uncle Qianjue stacked up his mark critical attack flow to defy the dragon fork. DWG swept the game with a strong sweep and entered the semi-finals.
On the DRX side, the saddest thing is Mr. Dai. He fell on the S field again, and his dream seems to be getting further and further away.
On October 16, G2 played against SN.
After the group stage, no one will underestimate this European team, even DWG, which is also in the top half, is studying them.
G2's current style of play is similar to Snake's. Today's Cap King is extremely brave in form. His huge advantage can drive the jungler, but the middle lane collapses and the jungler is in disarray.
In the first round of the showdown, Caps scored luxurious statistics of 11/2/6 and used two waves of key moves to lead G2 to defeat SN.
In the second game, the rich man came back to his senses and cooperated with Daan to make consecutive grabs, and SN regained the game.
In the third and fourth games, the two sides tied the score at 2:2.
The duration of each game is more than 35 minutes!
An extremely tense atmosphere gathered in the Guangzhou Stadium. No one expected that this round of competition would be so anxious.
SN, the fourth seed from the LPL, played like a real second brother in the LPL, with outstanding performances in every game.
The trend of dark horse is getting stronger and stronger.
G2 and SN seem to have similar strengths, so it’s hard to say who will win.
In the fifth life-and-death battle, SN and G2 fought for 42 minutes, and it was simply dark.
The advantage of one or two thousand on the field is no longer useful, everyone is just a team.
The tense and suffocating atmosphere was released at 44 minutes and 1 seconds. In the LEC studio, Coster shouted that it was a pity.
"there is none left!"
"Caps did not borrow any more divine power. This power was borrowed by SN's Bin. Sword Girl got three kills and G2 failed."
…
"Congratulations SN!"
"The first LPL team to enter the semi-finals!"
In the studio, only Changmao was feeling sad. He was a G2 fan.
It is no longer easy for European emperors to reach this point.
…
On October 17, the quarter-finals came to the bottom half.
The civil war between JDG and Snake begins.
This round of quarter-finals can be said to be the most disparate contest in terms of paper strength. Whether it is past performance or current ability, Snake crushes JDG in all aspects.
However, there are still some people who are eager for an unexpected appearance.
Especially the LCK teams and Han Zai.
The GEN players watching the game in the training room may be more nervous than the JDG players on the field. They really hope that JDG can win.
However, this is destined to be a fantasy.
At 6:40 in the evening, the head ratio in the first round between JDG and Snake reached 23:5.
The financial gap on the big screen came to 11,000 yuan.
0/6/1 Guozi was sweating profusely, and Syndra on the opposite side beheaded 13 people!
In less than 30 minutes, JDG lost.
In the second game between the two sides, JDG adopted a strategy of resisting pressure in the middle and playing on the sidelines.
In this game, they exposed more problems and a more obvious gap between them and Snake.
Both sides get cards and Galio in the middle.
There were no kills in the early stage, and JDG did not collapse as much as it did at the beginning of the game.
However, JDG's wingers have no advantage in front of Snake.
After the sixth level of the card, Li Hao led Snake's rhythm, defeated LokeN in the bottom lane with several waves of roaming, and cooperated with the factory director to catch Zoom to death.
JDG wanted to open the wing, but all the wings were blown through.
The creamy Galio did support and released a few waves of ultimate moves, but the damage to Snake was too little.
As soon as the cards become more powerful, JDG will definitely die.
With the entire industry collapsing, JDG lost this game even faster.
In the mid-term, towers were lost continuously, and at 18 minutes and 23 seconds, Snake breached the bottom lane high ground, and all map resources in the jungle were lost.
At 21 minutes and 03 seconds, JDG was beaten 0 for 4 in a panic, and Snake ended the game with a wave.
"This series can be said to be over."
Miller emphasized: "The gap between the two sides is too big. When I go back, I can study Brother Hao's cards. It is equivalent to giving him a lesson and teaching him how to play rhythm and support."
"Snake got the match point, JDG didn't want to think of a way, and was about to be swept."
Wawa said: "LCK is fighting a civil war, and LPL is also fighting a round of civil war."
"However, the combination of Brother Hao and Snake will undoubtedly bring us a greater shock."
"There is no anxiety, very little suspense, and it is completely overwhelming."
He couldn't help but sigh: "With the addition of Brother Hao, the team will be stronger."
After a short rest, JDG's cliff round began.
Only 10 minutes into the show, the JDG uniforms backstage had already bought their tickets back to Kyoto.
JDG, with a broken mentality, failed to show any confrontation.
Li Hao's Rock Birds roamed the road in two waves, making Flandre's Crocodile fat.
Taking advantage of the top lane, they got the vanguard and destroyed Sylas' first tower early.
Silas is almost sleepwalking.
LokeN in the bottom lane, who was originally a special player, has now changed his operation. In this game, he played Ice, and he may have wanted to predict when he enlarged his moves, but the magic crystal arrow was crooked.
All he had to do was shoot an arrow behind him.
At the beginning of the spring split, LokeN was so brilliant, able to compete with Shi Yizhong in terms of results.
In the playoffs, the special player emerged in the second stage and competed with Shi Yizhong for results.
As a result, those things only brought hallucinations to JDG, just like the study of meditation, which is a dead end.
Li Hao is still the only one, so strong that there is no fluctuation.
He is an exception among exceptions, and what happened to him does not apply to other players.
What about LokeN, the special person?
Just a flash in the pan.
At this time, if you look back at everything that happened, you will inevitably have more feelings.
The two can only play dirty duels.
In less than 25 minutes, Snake won easily and swept JDG.
At this time, even JDG fans must admit that SN played better next door, while JDG looked like the fourth seed.
"Congratulations Snake!"
"Congratulations Snake!"
"..."
Player Snake walked up to the JDG player bench, and Gao Zi and Lu Mao hugged each other.
Now, he envied his former good brother even more.
The only thing that pleased the JDG uniforms was that because they were swept by Snake, not many people complained, because no one thought Snake would lose. Everyone started celebrating Snake's entry into the semifinals, and JDG was quickly forgotten and forgiven.
Even if someone criticizes him, JDG can still ask with his soul:
"Who won't beat 3-0?"
You can even be more forceful and make others speechless:
"Okay, go and beat The King! If you can't beat him, shut up!"
If JDG is swept by other teams, in its current state, it will definitely suffer endless abuse.
October 18th.
GEN players are still thinking about how to fight Snake?
In the semi-finals, what tactics should be used?
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Samsung was woken up by two basins of cold water poured on it by Taobo.
Xiba, why is it 0-2!
The LCK audience was in disbelief. Before nine o'clock, Taobo sent Samsung home with a score of 3:0.
The LPL audience laughed to death:
"BDD is useless. At critical moments, he will act like a tsar, a big-eyed monster, and he will be hard at work. This is the case in the LCK. You can even take care of him with your left hand. How can you fight Brother Hao?"
"Actually, it's the same. If you encounter Snake, you'll also sweep away."
"It's not a shame, it's not the first time anyway."
"This year's LCK really can't be compared with the LPL."
"Chiku Di also has a reason to say, my teammate is CoreJJ, the leader of An. Who are you in this group? You asked me to lead you. Clid Laifu is playing jungle assistant. Can he play? He can't. He doesn't have the ability to know.
?"
"..."
With the promotion of Taobao, the S10 top four list is released.
SES,DWG,SN.
The lonely DWG was surrounded by LPL teams.
LPL, it’s a prosperous time again!
