In the last game of the intercontinental group stage, the LGD team faced the SKT team!
Although the result of this game will not affect tomorrow's semi-finals, it is very important for the lpl and lck divisions!
The lpl division urgently needs the lgd team to win this game, so that lgd can save the last face of lpl.
The LCK division also hopes that the SKT team can win this game, avenge the loss of MSI, and at the same time secure their title as the first division in Asia!
Both teams worked hard to show off their skills in this game, and the entire game was extremely intense.
During the 40 minutes of a normal game, both the LGD team and the SKT team played their most perfect performance, and each had multiple perfect team battles.
But the msi champion LGD team was still better. Taking advantage of a sudden wave of steals in the late game, the LGD team once again defeated the SKT team and won the last game of the intercontinental group stage!
…
"Let us congratulate lgd!"
When the LGD team struggled to win the game, the LPL commentators all breathed a long sigh of relief, and the stones hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
At the end of this game, although the lck division can still directly advance to the finals on the last day, for the lpl division, the 4-4 group points finally retain the hope of the lpl.
Even among the four games won, two of them came from lgd!
"Tomorrow is the semi-finals between our LPL and LMS divisions. I hope that after going back tonight, the four coaches in the LPL division can carefully study the order of playing tomorrow's game."
The commentators prayed worriedly.
Before the start of the intercontinental competition, they all thought that in this intercontinental competition, the lpl would definitely kill teams from other divisions when they saw it. After all, after winning the MSI championship, the lpl was already the first division in Asia.
But judging from the results of the two days of competition, the LPL division is still very weak, and the only strong one is the LGD team!
In tomorrow's semi-finals, when all teams must play, even if the LGD team continues to win, if the other three teams all lose, the LPL division will still be eliminated!
Because the intercontinental competition is about the overall strength of the division, not a team!
"I originally thought that the LMS division was very weak, but now it seems that they can also pose a great threat to us..."
"I hope that in tomorrow's game, we, rng and edg can work hard and try to defeat at least two opponents!"
At the end of the live stream, the commentators gave their blessing again.
…
After the LGD team finished its last game, the four LPL teams quickly returned to the hotel.
While the four coaches arranged for the players to rest and train, Lu Haoran immediately called the other three coaches together.
"What do you think of tomorrow's game?"
Lu Haoran said in a solemn tone. On the way back, he had been thinking about tomorrow's finals, but he didn't feel safe no matter how he thought about it.
After all, judging from the two days of competition in the LMS division, except for the weak jt team and m17 team in the third and fourth place in the LMS division, the fw team and the ahq team are both very strong and have enough strength to win against Yusanzhong.
Any one of them!
"Tomorrow's game is in random order. Before the game, we can know which team the opponent will play next, so we must not let the LMS division use Deda Ji's horse racing tactics."
"That is to say, you LGDs must not fight JT and M17, otherwise you will be wasting your combat power."
Coach edg carefully analyzed that if the LMS division uses Tian Ji's horse racing tactics tomorrow, it will not be good news for the lpl.
The worst case scenario is that in tomorrow's match between LGD and M17, the first team will play against the fourth team, and then in the other three games, it will become LMS's first team against the second team, the second team against the third team, and the third team against the fourth team.
.
Although the LPL team thinks they are very strong, they really don't have enough confidence to say this now.
"That's right, we must seize the match tomorrow. Our LGD must fight against FW or AHQ."
"But you must also be prepared for the worst, that is, when you meet these two teams, can you win at least one game?"
"In this way, we will at least draw 2-2 in the first four games tomorrow, and then in the last game our LGD will appear again, and we can win for sure no matter who we play."
Lu Haoran looked at the three coaches and said solemnly that in tomorrow's semi-finals, he only hopes that Yusanjia can win at least one game. Only in this way can lpl successfully advance to the finals!
If they can win two games, then LGD will have one less game to play. If they win three games directly, then LGD will have a chance not to even have to play!
"Don't worry, Manager Lu, we will work hard tomorrow!"
The three coaches clapped their chests and promised, and then began to discuss with Lu Haoran the specific order of playing in tomorrow's semifinals!
…
The training time passed by in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, the third match day of the intercontinental competition, which is also the day of the semi-finals, has officially arrived!
Today's game was a life and death battle in the LMS division, so the entire competition venue was filled with spectators from the LMS division. They cheered for the LMS team and waved flags, but no one cheered for lpl at all.
"Damn, why are the players in the Bay Bay Province acting like this, as if we are enemies?"
When he entered the arena and saw such a scene, Xiao Ning cursed, thinking that sooner or later, he would be completely ungrateful.
"Don't be like this. After all, we are playing on behalf of the division now. There is no need to think about these things."
"Our mission today is to play the game well, not to disappoint the LPL audience, and we must advance to the finals!"
Lu Haoran said with a smile, not caring about the quality of the audience. After all, there are a lot of facts that prove that the number of audience will not affect the outcome of the game at all!
"No problem, we can definitely turn the site into a library today!"
Xiao Ning said angrily again, and then entered the lounge with everyone.
…
"Okay, welcome to all the audience friends on site and in front of the screen to watch our intercontinental semi-finals on time!"
"Hello everyone, I am explaining Zeyuan today!"
"Hello everyone, I am Rita!"
"Hello everyone, I am the commentator pdd!"
In the commentary box, when the three commentators appeared together, it was enough to illustrate the importance of today's semifinal.
"After two days of group stage competition, the intercontinental competition has finally temporarily divided the first, second and third places."
"The first place in the lck division has directly advanced to tomorrow's finals. The lpl division and the lms division are tied for second place. They need to pass today's b05 semi-finals to compete for tomorrow's finals!"
"Because the intercontinental competition is a competition between divisions, the order of the teams in today's semifinals will be crucial. If the coaches' tactics are well arranged, winning the game will be very easy."
Guan Zeyuan smiled and began to analyze the possibility of playing in today's semifinals.
"Actually, I feel that the order of playing is not too important. After all, I feel that the overall strength of our LPL division is still stronger than LMS."
"The only difference between our team and our team is just one breath. If this breath is raised, then even if the fourth-placed EDG team faces the first-place FW team, there will definitely be a chance to win!"
"So whether we can win in the LPL division depends on the on-the-spot performance of the players."
"In short, I hope that today's LPL team will be in full condition and contribute a wonderful bo5 game for us!"
pdd said with great expectation, his expression was very serious. After all, he did not expect that when lpl only regarded lck as its only opponent, the LMS division would actually be on par with them!
If we can't win LMS in today's semifinals, it will be an insult to the entire LPL division!
"Okay, we already know the details of the first game."
"The first game will be between the second-place WE team in the LPL division and the third-place JT team in the LMS division!"
"This result is still very good. We have successfully captured a game!"
Rita was full of excitement when she announced this result, because in this way, even if the LMS division continues to use Tian Ji's horse racing tactics and succeeds, the best case scenario is to open at 55.
After all, the LGD team is bound to win a game!
Of course, there is a premise for this matter, that is, when the WE team faces the JT team, they must not overturn!
Fortunately, in the first game, Team WE finally did not disappoint the LPL audience and successfully won the first game, temporarily leading the semi-finals to 1-0.
At the same time as the first game, the coaching staff of the two divisions had already submitted the teams for the second game, so as soon as the first game ended, the results for the second game were announced directly.
In the second game, the fourth-placed EDG team in the LPL division faced the first-place FW team in the LMS division!
…
"Unexpectedly, we succeeded in using Tian Ji's horse racing."
Seeing this result, Lu Haoran couldn't laugh or cry.
They sent edg to play in the second game because they believed that after the first game, the LMS division would definitely let the m17 team continue to appear, and after wasting the combat effectiveness of the first place LGD or the third place RNG team in the LPL division, they would come later
Three games to fight back.
But now it seems that LMS thinks that the LGD or RNG team will play in the second game. They hope that the FW team can bite a hard nut to make the subsequent games easier.
But in fact, although this result is a good thing for the LPL, it is also not bad for the LMS division.
Because in their eyes, the first place player can definitely win if he fights the fourth place player!
Even if the ahq team meets the lgd team in the future, they may not lose.
"Win our EDG for sure? Impossible!"
After sensing LMS's thoughts, iboy, a young ADC player, said confidently that although the director is now a substitute, Ai Loli has always been the starter, and although the top laner has also been replaced by a new top laner Audi, he
I think that together with meiko, I can also lead the team to win the game!
"Then I hope you win the game, so that after we play in the third game and win, rng doesn't have to play."
Lu Haoran cheered for the edg team, and then everyone sent the edg team off together.
However, although the edg team was full of confidence, they still failed to win the game in front of the invincible Flash Wolves team.
In fact, the edg team had already delayed the game to the late 35 minutes, and was just one step away from winning the game.
However, as edg and everyone made major positioning errors before the last wave of team battles, and after a wonderful team start by Flash Wolves, the victory that could have been won was taken away by the Flash Wolves team.
Regarding such an ending, all LPL teams are speechless and helpless, but there is nothing they can do. The EDG team, which is also completing its reorganization, still needs a long period of running-in period.
Besides, being overturned can be regarded as a traditional performing arts for EDG.
"I'm sorry, we couldn't win."
When the edg team returned to the lounge, they apologized to everyone sadly.
"It's okay, don't be discouraged, let's see what happens between us and the rng team next!"
Xiao Ming smiled and shook hands with Meiko, then walked towards the stage.
Because the third LGD team to play already knows their opponent, which is the second place in the LMS division, the AHQ team!
…
"The lgd team is finally going to play!"
"The opponent they face is the ahq team, the runner-up in the LMS division!"
When the commentators heard the news, they were both excited and nervous.
What’s exciting is that LPL’s LGD team is finally about to debut. What’s nervous is that judging from the performance of the top two teams in the LMS division, the AHQ team must also be in full shape.
And in the LMS Spring Finals, the ahq team only lost to the FW team 2 to 3. This shows that the strength gap between the ahq team and the FW team is actually not big. If they perform well enough, they may have a chance to overthrow LGD.
Team!
"The LGD team can definitely win. After all, in the two games of the group stage, the LGD team has defeated the FW and SKT teams. Now facing a second-place AHQ, it is absolutely impossible for the LGD team to overturn."
pdd clenched his fists and Kang said excitedly, he has 10,000 beliefs in the LGD team!
"Well, I hope the LGD team can crush their opponents as always."
"And the good news is that because the edg team lost the game in the second round, the lgd team has the right to choose the side in this round. They continued to choose the blue side that they are best at."
"In this game, Manager Lu will definitely design the ahq team well in terms of BP. I hope the coach of the ahq team can handle it!"
Guan Zeyuan chuckled.
Now, team coaches all over the world already know the horror of Manager Lu in BP, but outside of the LPL, the only ones who have experienced this personally are Flash Wolves and SKT.
But the third person is about to appear, and that is the coach of the ahq team!
And this time point is not too late. After the players from both teams simply debugged the equipment, the third match of the semi-finals officially started!
The blue side lgd team has top laner xiaoal, jungler ning, mid laner godv, bottom laner smlz, and assistant ming!
The red side ahq team, top laner ziv, jungler moudoor, bottom lane an, assist albis!
