Chapter 659 SKT is only a little harder than before
"Let us congratulate IG for winning the opening game of the 2018 Global Finals! This is a good start for our LPL!"
Twenty-one minutes into the game, IG took the Baron BUFF with an advantage of nearly 10,000, and flattened SKT's main fortress crystal in one fell swoop.
The score was fixed at 11 to 1, and SKT really only got the head of the pig girl.
[It’s almost a zero seal! Tsk tsk tsk, SKT doesn’t look that difficult! 】
[In fact, it was not very comfortable in the early stage. IG took a lot of effort to get this one, and it was not as simple as it looked on the scene. 】
[That’s right, there are many decisions in the mid-term, and it’s not that easy if you make mistakes!]
[No matter what, I finally got this one, IG is still invincible! 】
The viewers in the live broadcast room were filled with emotion.
Although this opening match didn't last long, they enjoyed it thoroughly.
The offensive and defensive battles and decision-making confrontations between the two sides all reflected a very high level.
It's not just a fight between reckless men with one punch and one kick, but a mutual calculation of each other's tricks.
"The next game is between the other two teams from Group B - VIT and C9. The latest LPL team game is placed in the third game, between EDG and TL from Group C! Please stay tuned!"
In the commentary box, remember to report the upcoming schedule.
Today there are only two teams in the LPL, IG from Group B and EDG from Group C. RNG’s World Championship debut is scheduled for the second match day.
So for LPL viewers, there are only two highlights today.
At the same time, everyone from IG came to SKT’s game booth to shake hands after the game.
The first one to bear the brunt is naturally SKT's top laner Duke.
As an old teammate, Chen Yu gave Duke a big hug: "Well done, Duke, I was almost held back by you. You will be in command after the Pioneer Group."
As the person in charge of the entire game, Chen Yu could tell that there had been a change in the commanding style of SKT's Vanguard team.
After the changes, SKT was able to barely resist IG's attack despite being at a disadvantage.
Among all SKT players, only Duke, who is familiar with IG, can do this.
"What's the use? It's been broken by you guys. Why can't you save some face for me?"
Duke was not upset at all. He seemed to be mentally prepared for losing to IG. Instead, he patted Chen Yu on the back and complained.
"When we meet on the battlefield, each is his own master. There's nothing we can do about it, right?"
Chen Yu smiled slightly.
During his time away from the LPL, Duke's Chinese has not fallen behind, but has become more proficient, and there doesn't seem to be much hindrance in communicating with Chen Yu.
"There is still one game in the group stage, I will find a way to beat you!"
Duke said a harsh word and without saying anything else, he let go of Chen Yu's arms and went to look for his little brother Ah Shui.
Chen Yu shook hands with Xiao Hei politely and came to Teacher Da Fei.
This time, Teacher Da Fei's face was not as ugly as it was during the Asian Games, nor was it as pale as after the Asian Games. He just frowned slightly.
Chen Yu was too lazy to add insult to injury, so he smiled slightly and ignored him.
Next came Bang and Wolf. Chen Yu and Ah Shui were not too anxious. They just politely went through the process and went to the side to wait for their teammates.
Broiler and Lesha are both Koreans. They have some friendship with most of the SKT players, and they spent a little time reminiscing about old times.
However, there was a generous smile on Broiler's face, and he was no longer as excited as when he first faced Teacher Da Fei.
When we met Mr. Dafei in the World Championship last year, Broiler was still a Korean player with no impressive results. Mr. Dafei was the world's number one mid laner and a triple crown winner in history.
Broilers need to be looked up to.
However, now, Broiler Chicken also has a championship in hand, and this year it has achieved an unprecedented record of complete victory throughout the year. The mood is already different from the past.
Although the current honor is not enough to surpass Teacher Dafei, Broiler believes that as long as the IG brothers stay together, they will sooner or later be able to help themselves become the first in history.
Therefore, in his current view, Teacher Da Fei is no longer so unattainable.
But unlike the broiler with a nice smile, Xia Sha’s face is the most unsightly among all the people on IG.
Because he contributed to IG's only death in this world championship.
This joke may be laughed at by teammates for a long time.
"Much better than before, Chenglu."
Duke patted Lesha's shoulder with his generous palm and praised him.
He spoke in Korean, as if a senior was commenting on a junior.
"You are still very powerful, but I will win next time!"
Lesha also responded in Korean, with a serious tone.
"Okay, there will be another chance soon, and I will try my best to win you."
Duke nodded.
He understood what it meant.
From Lesha's point of view, IG has won, but he, Lesha, has not won.
During the laning phase, I had a pig girl versus a knife girl. I only had some advantage in pressing the knife. With the help of my teammates many times and the overall strategy of the whole team's decision-making game, I barely managed to kill Duke once.
This is a losing match for Lesha.
The post-match handshakes between the two teams were relatively harmonious.
Not only because of Duke as a bilateral bridge, but also because of IG’s reputation, SKT fans have long been mentally prepared to not be IG’s opponent.
"King Ning is the MVP, right? You go to the LPL interview."
Everyone at IG gathered again in the player tunnel, and Chen Yu made a decision directly.
King Ning's Morgana is extremely active and has an influence from the beginning to the end of the game. She is a well-deserved MVP.
Naturally, I have to be interviewed by reporters and hosts from this competition area.
"Okay, okay. I don't speak foreign languages. It's best to interview at home."
Prince Ning did not resist at all, but was overjoyed.
For poor students, foreign languages will always be a flaw.
King Ning may speak Korean better than English.
But this would be very painful for Ah Shui, who is also a bad student.
Ah Shui dropped out of school at the age of seventeen to join a professional team without completing his studies, and his foreign language skills were limited to common swear words.
On the other hand, Chen Yu and Lao Sha are both top students in their respective universities and can communicate in English easily. Broiler can take advantage of Korean aid and accept interviews from Korean media.
So much so that Ah Shui became the only player who needed a translator to interview IG after the game today.
"Player Jackeylove, congratulations to IG for winning the opening game. SKT is your old rival of IG. They were your opponents in the finals of last year's World Championship, but you had not officially played at that time. Today is your first appearance in the World Championship.
How does it feel? How do you feel about meeting SKT in the World Championship?"
The blond European female reporter handed the microphone to Ah Shui.
After listening to the interpreter's explanation, Ah Shui put his hands behind his back and replied, "It feels okay. I think it's no different from a normal game."
The Shiba Inu showed a confident smile as always.
This time last year, he was not eligible to compete and could only watch his teammates win the championship.
If you were an ordinary person, becoming the defending champion's starting AD in the new season, and even partnering with the world's number one support Chen Yu, it would be a lot of pressure.
But for Ah Shui, it seems that he never knows what pressure is.
This person even often criticizes his own comments in anti-stress forums.
After a pause, Ah Shui continued: "As for SKT, they are indeed a little more difficult than before."
The translator on the side glanced at Ah Shui and said, "SKT is just a little more difficult than before."
