Chapter 232 Semi-finals, the battle for the last ticket!
The Emperor of Spring?
Li Xiufeng was stunned for two seconds when he saw this task.
What is summer?
Vaguely, he always felt that this mission seemed a bit unlucky.
But no matter how unlucky it is, it is still meat.
In particular, although the difficulty of this task is unusual, the rewards are particularly objective.
One thousand points, that’s ten draws in a row!
Li Xiufeng has already been punished twice in a row by the system.
Although it is a pity that he has never been able to draw the magic skill that allows him to breathe fire and water, [Gathering God] and [Insight] are also rare epic skills.
Therefore, after seeing this task, Li Xiufeng was stunned and entangled for a short time, and suddenly a high fighting spirit swelled in his heart!
Win the championship undefeated?
Anyway, he already has the task of winning his first career championship. If he fails, he will still be punished physically based on his current points.
The so-called lice don't itch when there are too many.
Then let the storm come more violently.
If the system sends him another order now, Li Xiufeng will probably be able to face it calmly with a smile.
...
After the semifinals roster was released, KG's coaching staff also quickly held an emergency meeting.
Because according to the competition system, their opponent in the semifinals is EW.
BMG’s opponent is AG.
After the four teams compete in two rounds of B05, the winning team will advance to the finals.
Although KG never played against EW in the group stage, B05 in the semi-finals and the group stage were completely different competitions.
There is no underdog who can reach the semi-finals.
What's more, in the history of the LPL, there has never been a team that won consecutive games all the way through the group stage and had a great record, but in the playoffs, it fell behind as soon as it played B05.
Therefore, even though they played EW in the semi-finals this time, they had won the match point from the opponent in the group stage.
But after all, EW is a strong team that has been famous since S2, and its performance this season is also very strong.
Qiye in the middle, jungler Cond, and brother-in-law in the bottom lane are all very eye-catching. It can be said that this is a veteran team that is very good at B05.
Facing such a team, KG naturally had to treat it with caution.
...
The schedule for the semi-finals will be announced on the official website soon.
The time is next Saturday weekend.
The venue was not Hongqiao, Jianghai, where the group stage and the first two rounds of playoffs were, but moved to the China Suzhou Olympic Sports Center.
There will undoubtedly be a bigger stage.
As soon as the top four are announced, pre-sale of tickets for the semi-finals will begin on the official website.
The rush for tickets was very hot, and within two hours, all the tickets online were sold out.
What should the remaining people who missed it do if they want to go there?
Then they can only go to official offline channels to buy remaining tickets, or buy them from scalpers at a high price.
no way.
This is the popularity of Aquamarine eSports. Tickets are no less popular than some celebrity concerts.
In fact, it is only the semi-finals now. When the LPL Spring Finals is held in Jinling at the end of May,
And when the MSI Global Mid-Season Invitational will be reported at the Yanjing Fengchao National Stadium next month,
I'm afraid the popularity will push away those celebrity concerts several blocks away.
...
Before the semi-finals start next weekend,
On Wednesday, KG and his team took the club's bus and came to the city of Suzhou in advance at the request of the tournament officials.
They didn’t come here to travel around and experience Suzhou gardens or anything like that.
It's because they need to record a promo for the semi-finals and trash talk between the teams.
These are the traditions of LPL that have been passed down since S3.
In fact, these rubbish words are not rubbish at all. On the contrary, they can greatly enhance the topic and create more highlights for the game.
Of course, the taunting behavior of "starting a team" before the game will naturally be more painful for the losing side to be slapped in the face.
However, in e-sports, winners and losers, and those who lose, it’s no big deal if they can just sit back and be laughed at.
Arrive at Suzhou Park Hotel on Wednesday and check in.
Early on Thursday morning, KG and his team were dragged by the director of the semifinals to shoot a promotional video for the semifinals and talk trash before the game.
The MV shooting this morning went very smoothly.
It is different from the promotional video that was shot for a day at the beginning of the Spring Split and was not finished yet.
The promotional video for the semi-finals was completed in a whole morning, after all, the number of teams was reduced from twelve to four.
Another difference is naturally Li Xiufeng's role in the MV.
When filming the promotional video for the S7 Spring Split,
Not to mention Li Xiufeng,
Even KG, a dark horse team that just entered the LPL, has very few scenes.
Most of the shots in the promotional video show teams such as EDE and EW, as well as the all-Chinese team BMG, which have undergone major changes in S7 with the return of Korean players.
But the promotion for this semi-final is different.
KG, who won 16 consecutive victories in the group stage, has become the protagonist. At the beginning, he is a phoenix reborn from the ashes, and several people from KG also take turns to show their faces in the middle.
The final part of the semi-final promotional video is a photo of four people under dark backlight.
Uzi stood in the middle as usual, making a gesture as if he wanted to grab something.
The two male models, Li Xiufeng and Theshine, have slender and tall figures. The man known as the top single star of LPL has his arms folded in front of him.
Stand on both sides with your back tilted at 135 degrees.
It looks like the guardians on the left and right.
As for EW's mid laner Qiye, he was also squatting in front of Uz1, with his head slightly lowered.
four people.
Four teams.
I have to say, the scene at the end of the promotional video is still very cool.
After the director shoots the finished product,
The producer of LPL is a middle-aged woman.
After watching it, she kept praising Li Xiufeng and Theshine for their long legs, while Uz1 and Qiye lowered their heads and said nothing.
...
After shooting the promotional video in the morning, it was time to record the trash talk before the game in the afternoon.
The director motioned for everyone to be more relaxed. We were all young people, and they were talking... well, they were arrogant, domineering, and they could be provocative.
So KG really let it go, everyone started talking nonsense and making all kinds of taunts.
In the Year of the Ox, if Coach Long hadn't seen the situation getting a little out of control and stopped him, he would have sat across from each other and recorded the game together before having a live PK.
When these trash talks are played on the day of the semi-finals, the scene will definitely be quite shocking.
The recording ended at 5 p.m., and the four teams returned to their hotels.
Next, they still have one day to rest, and no matter how hard they talk trash, they have to win.
No one dared to relax on the last day.
...
Saturday, Suzhou Olympic Sports Center.
Although today is the B05 duel between BMG and AG, KG and EW, who will face off tomorrow, also appeared at the opening of the semi-finals as scheduled.
After the brief opening, when they met the audience, the KG and EW teams retreated.
The live stage was handed over to the two teams AG and BMG who were facing off today.
The scene was filled with people and the voices were loud.
Even though KG suddenly emerged this season and attracted fans like crazy in the LPL, the fans of AG and BMG are still huge.
The game started at five o'clock in the afternoon, and after nightfall, the evening time gradually passed.
However, the enthusiasm of the audience in the semi-finals did not show any decreasing trend as time went by.
Instead, it got higher and higher.
Because after each team won two games, AG and BMG directly pushed tonight's semi-finals into the final life-and-death game of B05.
The fight between the two sides was extremely fierce, with ten heads killed in the first ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, the two sides were going back and forth, one after another, the gods were fighting, and the audience at the Olympic Sports Center of Nuovo University was constantly shouting.
In the end, the life-and-death game lasted for nearly 40 minutes. AG's Theshine Sword Girl took to the road and led her teammates to stall for time and exchange base crystals with the opponent.
Theshine moved faster and took the first step to explode the opponent's crystal with A.
The moment the BMG base exploded!
This immediately announced that AG defeated BMG 2-0, advanced to the LPL Spring Split finals, and was one step closer to the trophy placed in the middle of the stage.
In the fifth game, Uz1 got five kills but lost the game in the end. Vayne also walked off the stage sighing about the "Uz1 championship curse".
Seeing the puppy's somewhat lonely back, countless BMG and Uz1 fans who came from all over the country to support the event burst into tears.
That night, the discussion about AG winning the fifth game by stealing the house suddenly became heated.
A small group of BMG fans and a large number of people who deliberately slandered the Internet and ridiculed AG's failure to win.
Naturally, AG’s fans fought back without showing any signs of weakness, and some e-sports influencers and marketing accounts deliberately tried to stir up the popularity.
Suddenly, on the first day of the semi-finals, there was an uproar on the Internet.
So much so that some netizens who had not paid attention to this semi-final started to watch the fun.
In this noisy and noisy environment.
Sunday afternoon.
KG and EW competing for another ticket to the Jinling Finals have also caught the attention of countless people.
