The commentary in the commentary box was heartbreaking.
They looked very sad, but they still spoke to the audience and said, "ROX lost."
"However, their performance was very good. In the final, SKT will play CP. I hope SKT can win against CP!"
"Yeah." Another commentator said with red eyes: "I have seen LCK lose to LPL in the finals several times. I hope we can beat them once."
"CP is too strong. The strong one is not LPL but CP. I hope I can defeat them and win the championship. This is of great significance to LCK."
"ROX players have tried their best and I hope they can win their own trophies in the future."
Several commentators praised ROX. Regardless of whether they are fans of ROX or not, for them, the battle between LPL and LCK naturally favors LCK.
Just like Miller and others also prefer LPL, this is to explain their own position.
ROX is a highly motivated team. They are young and energetic, they have a sharp attack, and their team battles are extremely exciting.
The team's top jungler is the strongest in the LCK this year, and his pleasing style of play is very easy to like.
It is understandable that the audience would feel sorry for such a team being eliminated.
The mainstream play style of LCK is focused on operations, while ROX is uncharacteristically focused on offense. Their gorgeous and extreme offense destroys the opponent's defense, which makes people excited.
Perhaps, there will never be a team like ROX again in the future.
...
CP's promotion made the LPL audience excited.
The three commentators on the commentary desk were also very happy.
In fact, before the S game, CP was the world's No. 1 club team ranked by ESPN.
Coupled with their results in the group stage, they are a championship seed team no matter how you look at it.
Although it is happy to advance to the finals, it is not too exaggerated.
But because RNG and EDG were eliminated in the top 8 respectively, there was only one team left in the LPL.
As a result, the LPL audience was heartbroken.
They are afraid that CP, the last team, will also be eliminated.
There is no way, in the final analysis, it is the other two teams in the LPL that were eliminated earlier than before, which makes everyone frightened.
CP’s opponent ROX is not weak either, ranking second in the world.
Before the game, some people said that the battle between first and second place would be the final.
The two teams have similar styles and a close relationship. Former teammates VS current teammates is also a contest between the two junglers.
In the final analysis, the situation is similar to last year, CP is the last hope of LPL.
One important thing is that CP has received more attention than last year.
This means that many teams use CP as their imaginary enemy, so there will be more tactical arrangements for CP, unlike last year when many teams focused on SKT.
The team that is studied by more people is more likely to lose the game.
Because, everyone is studying your rhythm and play style, as well as the placement of vision, and then arrange tactics based on these habits.
...
At the end of the game, all CP members showed happy smiles.
Especially Xiaotian jumped up from his chair happily.
He was under great pressure in the last game and was afraid that he would make a mistake and ruin the game.
Fortunately, he didn't have any major problems, and his early rhythm was picked up. CP maintained its economic advantage all the way to the end of the game.
ROX is a different story.
Top laner smeb stood up first. He stood up and looked around, the dazzling lights, the dazzling stage, the shouts of the audience...
All this was seen by him, but he failed again at such a critical moment.
Just like last year, they fell to the semi-finals again!
However, last year it was the invincible SKT that eliminated them, and this year it was CP from the LPL.
The feeling of failure is not pleasant, and he has tasted it several times.
After two years of World Championships, 1-3 in both years, Smeb looked at the cool lights above the stage and felt the cruelty here for the first time.
He was far away from the trophy and was just a little bit close to touching it, but he was always blocked one step away.
This step is incredibly difficult.
Smeb looked around, the disappointment on his face clearly visible.
pray and GORILLA sat in their chairs, not moving.
Little Peanut lay down on the table and burst into tears.
smeb looked at all this lonely, and the cheers at the scene were all for CP.
Their failure became a medal for others. Smeb has never felt that e-sports is so cruel.
The site was very large, but there was no place for them to settle down.
"I'm sorry, I didn't play well."
Smeb lowered his head and said this to his teammates.
The silver-haired little peanut was still sobbing, and the older Pray was the first to speak out: "It's not your problem, there's something wrong with our bottom lane."
Mi has always had an advantage in the bottom lane, but has been constantly suppressed by the opponent. Pray knows that in this BO5, it is not smeb's turn to take the blame.
Kuro looks lonely, he also has a problem.
I can't beat Chen Lang in the lane, I can't beat him in roaming, and I'm blown away in all directions.
The midfielder is the most important position in this game. He is outnumbered. It is not easy to play as a little peanut, and the side lanes are also under great threat.
Smeb patted Little Peanut on the shoulder, and Little Peanut stopped crying.
"This is the last time we play together." Smeb said softly.
When he said this, the audience kept shouting, and for the first time Smeb raised these voices, which were very harsh.
ROX no longer has any sponsorship, and this year all members are focused on competing for the championship.
As long as you win the championship, you can attract the attention of investors, and it will also be easier to attract sponsorship.
Today, they failed.
After returning to China, ROX will be disbanded and the five of them will be separated.
This World Championship is their last chance.
It's a pity that they failed to seize this opportunity, so Smeb Haopary and others acted very lonely.
It’s even more painful than losing in last year’s World Championship.
In fact, they were really happy playing games together, and the five of them got along very harmoniously.
Chen Lang and his party have already come over to shake hands.
Perhaps because they could feel the other party's disappointment, there were not many smiles when everyone shook hands. Chen Lang and others just nodded lightly to each other.
Respect for your opponent is respect for yourself.
When it was Little Peanut's turn, Chen Lang saw the corner of Little Peanut's eyes, which must have been crying, so he stepped forward and gave him a hug.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Lang said softly: "You played well."
"Thank you, Brother Lang." Little Peanut twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a smile.
This is a blessing to Chen Lang.
"Come on, we must win the championship."
"We will not disappoint your expectations." Chen Lang patted Little Peanut's head.
Maybe smeb and others hope that SKT will win, but Little Peanut definitely hopes that CP will win.
Although he is Korean, he is a player from CP.
It can be said that without Chen Lang, there would be no Little Peanut today, and Little Peanut knows it very well.
He left CP just for personal pursuit, but he will never forget his days in CP and the scenes of playing games with Chen Lang and others.
Training, competition, winning...these images are vivid in my mind.
Little Peanut gathered up his emotions and smiled at all CP members.
He also said blessing words to everyone, and everyone hugged.
Bro LOL.
When Little Peanut saw CP, he thought of himself last year, and even though he left CP, he was still a part of it.
His joining ROX is also a matter of brotherhood.
However, ROX failed to create miracles.
Is ROX’s performance poor this year?
Not bad, the LCK division won the Spring Asia, Summer Championship and reached the semi-finals in the World Championship.
Although I don’t say how outstanding my results are, it definitely has nothing to do with being poor.
It's a pity that there is only one champion, and those who fail to win the championship are losers.
smeb watched with envy as CP and his group stepped onto the center of the stage, while they left from the wings.
At this time, they suddenly heard some voices in the audience shouting:
"ROX!"
"semb!"
"peanut..."
Although ROX lost, this BO5 game with CP still won them a lot of applause.
"Don't feel so heavy." Pray put his arms around several people's shoulders and said with a smile, "Go back and have a good meal!"
"Well, let's have a big meal!"
"Let's eat barbecue. It's been a long time since I've eaten and drank. I've been exhausted from training during this period~"
This time, they left much more relaxedly.
Failure is something that people will experience in life, but they will not give up.
If you lose this year, come back next year!
If you lose next year, try again the year after!
The fighting spirit in the hearts of ROX people has not been extinguished, and they believe that one day they will be able to be on the stage of the finals!
Even though they may no longer be on the same team, they will bring the "ROX" soul to win trophies for their teammates.
They are ROX tigers, immortal tigers!
...
One week later, the finals will begin.
The venue for the finals will be the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
It has witnessed the birth of many "champions", and it will also see the birth of a new king again.
The red and black war begins again.
This week, the Internet has been extremely popular.
As an emerging super team, CP captured many fans in last year's World Championship.
And they passed all the way, especially defeating Rox Tiger, who was also in excellent condition and ranked second in the world before the game, which made many CP fans extremely cheering.
SKT is a long-established and strong team with the most popular player Faker. With him, SKT will always be a team with the potential to win the championship.
Many fans of SKT may have watched the Battle of Double Tribulation when they first entered LOL and found a game~
The timeless picture is too stunning and unforgettable.
Chen Lang is a sudden rise. Even well-known players such as Pawn and Imp have never reached Chen Lang's current popularity.
After defeating the "old god", he became the new god.
The operation between Ike and Zed last year was also considered to be the next classic scene that will be passed down forever.
There was not a single mistake on either side's part, and both sides were trying their best.
Before the final, in addition to filming promotional videos with their fists, both teams were training at the base.
There is only one week left, and no one wants to relax at the last moment.
Because, at this time, Songxi may mean that a year's hard work has been wasted.
"It's a familiar recording time again." Chen Lang looked at today's schedule quite happily.
"I don't want to run, I'm exhausted~" JackeyLove stretched.
"You're so lazy, forget it. You don't even know how many pounds you've gained." Chen Lang rolled his eyes at JackeyLove.
JackeyLove chuckled: "I'm young and still growing~"
Xiaotian, the onmyoji, spoke up: "Other people grow their bodies vertically, but you grow horizontally. Are you a crab?"
JackeyLove was furious and sat up from the chair in an instant, looking at Xiaotian with an angry look: "Little bastard, I can gain weight, but if you look at how skinny you are, the wind will blow you away!"
"..."
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Chen Lang quickly stopped them.
"You are still unwilling to run away." Chen Lang said: "Although we are cooperating with the filming, the outdoor scenes are just like going out to play, isn't it good?"
“Traveling at public expense is the most enjoyable thing!”
Xiaotian was stunned for a moment: "Brother Lang is right. We want to go out and play on our own, but we are not familiar with the place. It's much better if someone leads us!"
Chen Lang’s English is pretty good, but he’s not familiar with Los Angeles!
Besides, he was also afraid that his group would be slaughtered.
It’s not easy to go out and see the place in the United States when you’re not familiar with it and don’t have time to make a guide.
Soon, they met SKT players and they all wanted to shoot a promotional video together.
We found several locations and filmed the entire team and individuals.
At other times, players from both sides also chatted together.
For example, JackeyLove asked bang: "How do you successfully lose weight?"
As a professional player, he certainly doesn’t have much time to exercise. Bang was quite fat last year, almost the same as Wolf, but this year he has completely changed!
Last year's bang looked like a fat nerd, but this year's bang looks a bit like a model, very handsome.
Of course, everyone's speaking level is about the same, so I'll guess what you draw.
Anyway, although the language is different, with the addition of actions, it can still be understood.
Bang replied: "Eat less and don't drink carbonated drinks."
"If you don't drink Coke, it won't kill me." JackeyLove shook his head after hearing this.
Chen Lang was close to Faker, and the two world-class mid laners came together.
"Besides training, what are your hobbies?" Chen Lang asked.
"Read a book." Faker is a taciturn person and seems to be an honest person.
Chen Lang decided to tease him, so he continued to ask: "Which aspect?"
"Psychology, I'm very interested in this." When it comes to hobbies, Faker's eyes are bright and he talks more.
He felt that he and Chen Lang were the same kind of people. He heard that Chen Lang was a famous college student who dropped out of school to pursue a career.
faker also wanted to go to college, but unfortunately he missed the opportunity to go to college in order to pursue a career.
When he was in school, he was among the top three in the school. If he had not pursued a career, he would still be a college student now.
"Psychology?" Chen Lang smiled: "Are you afraid of losing the game and trying to enlighten yourself?"
"???"
What kind of criticism are you talking about? A question mark floated in Faker's mind.
"It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously." Chen Lang laughed when he saw faker's confused look.
Faker was very dissatisfied, so he asked Xiang Chen Lang: "What are your usual hobbies?"
Chen Lang leaned on the railing, looked at the lake in the distance, and then said with a smile: "I am more annoyed, there are too many things."
"It's okay not to say anything."
"Tell me, maybe I can help you too." Faker heard this and was about to take action.
After reading some psychology books, if Chen Lang had any troubles, he would be able to answer them himself.
"I want to go shopping with my girlfriend, eat with her, play with her, read with her..."
"???"
When faker heard Chen Lang's words, he immediately shut himself up.
You have a girlfriend, you are awesome!
He's handsome, good at gaming, and has a girlfriend. Faker thinks this is the life he expects?
"I feel that life is very good now and everything is what I want."
"Shooted!"
The staff shouted, and the team members from both sides returned to their positions for filming.
It just so happens that this scene is in an amusement park, and there are things for sale inside.
After shooting for a while, everyone felt a little tired.
Chen Lang bought a few bottles of water for JackeyLove and others to drink. Faker saw this and imitated him.
He walked to the stall, took a look at the price of Coke, and said hesitantly: "Let's have a can of Coke."
After getting the Coke, he returned to his teammates.
"I'll treat everyone to a Coke!"
"Brother Xianghe~"
"Lee Sang Hyuk, the most handsome today!"
The team members all smiled.
I saw Faker opening the Coke himself, raising his head and taking a sip. Then he handed the Coke can to the next person's hand and said, "Drink."
"..."
Everyone thought Faker was buying a bottle for everyone, but they didn’t expect that he was buying a bottle for everyone to drink!
However, no one disliked it. Everyone happily took the Coke and everyone took a sip.
Things are not expensive, everyone can afford them, and you can enjoy the atmosphere.
They also know that Faker is usually very frugal. He gives all his money to his parents and sometimes donates to charity organizations. He is also a picky person, but he is used to a frugal living habit.
"Hey, faker!" Chen Lang shouted.
Faker and the team members looked sideways.
I saw Chen Lang giving each of them a bottle of water, and then said: "Girls don't like you, you can't find a girlfriend~"
After hearing what Chen Lang said, the SKT players also laughed.
Everyone took the water from Chen Lang and thanked them. Chen Lang said with a smile: "Drink my water, and the champion will give it to me. Reciprocity~"
"..."
faker complained in his heart, I may not be a normal person, but you are a real dog!
After a day of shooting, everyone returned to the base exhausted and prepared to rest early so that they could train well the next day.
Hongmi and the coaching staff are still watching all the SKT game videos over and over again. They are looking for SKT’s weaknesses so they can take action against them.
