EDG ended the game early and got off work early at 4:30, but the LPL Summer Split is still in full swing.
On August 14th, that is, at 9 o'clock in the evening on the day when edg defeated we, the semi-finals between rng and im in the second half were decided. rng defeated the second team edg without any suspense with a total score of 3-1. of im, advanced to the finals.
This also means that rng will once again meet edg in the lpl finals after losing this spring.
Due to their spring split championship and runner-up results, both teams have already locked up their spots in the World Championship after the semifinals. The finals can only decide who the No. 1 seed and the No. 2 seed are.
However, this does not mean that the excitement of the lpl finals has declined at all.
Quite the opposite.
The only person in the edg team who is committed to studying the opponents of the World Championship is Meixia, a time traveler who knows everything beforehand. The rest of the team thinks the same as what Meiko said in the interview - it is too early to study the World Championship, and the finals in front of us are just that. It is the top priority.
Prior to this, edg won the Silver Dragon Cup four times in the spring of 2014, summer of 2014, spring of 2015, and spring of 2016.
If he continues to win the summer split, he will be an unprecedented five-time LPL champion! How can you not prepare carefully!
Compared with edg, rng, the opponent in the final, covets the shining silver trophy even more. Since the establishment of the team, including the predecessor ryl, it has never won the lpl championship. As an lpl giant team, such an honor is already below the standard.
What's more, the humiliation of losing in the spring finals is still like a barb in the hearts of rng players. They meet again in the finals. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to wash away the shame!
The whole team plays training matches and ranked matches with high intensity.
deft continues to practice Jin and Han Bing. The situation where he was poked by Martin in the past six to four is still vivid in his mind. This season is really not a version that can play late-stage adc.
In terms of support, on the one hand, Tahm's priority has soared after the semi-finals. On the other hand, when paired with Ice or Jhin, the poke that assists Karma is also extremely disgusting. Meiko knows both of these heroes, so there is no need to practice too intensively.
Mei Xia followed the memory of the S6 World Championship and provided him with a lot of suggestions to prepare for the upcoming World Championship.
As for the top lane and jungle, there is not much difference between the World Championship version and the playoffs, so there is no need to work hard to train new heroes.
As for Mixia herself, she still enjoys playing in ranked with a bunch of whimsical heroes.
The next day on the 15th, the lpl playoffs continued. We lost miserably to edg and with an explosive mentality, we lost to im in the third place match without any resistance. The lower points caused them to start from behind even in the World Championship qualifying rounds. Compared with im Play one more bo5.
Five days later, on the 20th, the lck finals finally started.
Out of concern for kt, who has been playing training matches with edg, and because lck is different from other regions and is edg's biggest competitor in the world championship, Abramovich arranged for the players to put aside their ranking and training to watch the game together.
And kt, who had high hopes before the game, suffered a misfortune in the finals!
First, they fought hard for four rounds to maintain the score at 2-2. In the deciding round, they failed to steal the baron. After the jungle punishment, the baron dramatically only had two drops of blood, and was snatched away by ROX top laner Captain Smeb with his ultimate move!
In the end, kt regretted losing the game, and due to insufficient points in the spring split, they lost the opportunity to be sent to the World Championship. They had to play in the playoffs to fight for lck's last World Championship ticket.
The little peanut with dyed blond hair on the court raised the trophy with a smile and celebrated!
The five ROX Tigers are in high spirits. They have created the history of LCK triple jump and they seem to be the spokespersons of miracles!
The kt players who bowed their heads became the backdrop for rox.
"What a tragedy, friends of the kt team." After watching the game in the edg training room, Mixia clenched her fists and said to her teammates, "If we go to the World Championship and encounter ROX, we must avenge them!"
It's not entirely out of anger at the defeat of my friend kt in the training match.
ROX jungler Peanut, right? Mei Xia is deeply impressed by this guy. In his previous life, he claimed to be a fan of the factory director before the World Championship, and then he dealt 4396 total damage to the factory director in the World Championship.
Live your life again, don’t let me see you in the World Championship!
Although coach Abramovich was surprised that kt lost, he disagreed with Mixia's words, "There are still play-in rounds... rox just got lucky and grabbed the baron. It is easy to get through the play-in rounds with kt's strength. There is no reason for us to avenge kt. …”
The factory director nodded in agreement with the coach.
Mika defended kt just because they played a few days of training matches. I'm afraid this Sakura girl would have run away if she hadn't given her a lollipop!
He earnestly explained to the simple Mika, "Mika, don't be partial just because kt is playing training matches with us. The training match appointment is mutual and not unilaterally done by ROX.
Moreover, the Rox team has been very inspiring from Internet cafes to the World Championships, and their players are also very friendly. I heard that the Peanut player is still a fan of mine. "
Having said this, the factory director felt a strong sense of pride.
mika is his fan, and so is peanut. It is said that the South American championship team also has his fans.
Although I don’t know the appearance of the fan from South America whom I have never met before, mika and peanut are both handsome men and women. Could it be said that this is the average quality of piggies! !
When Meixia heard the fan, she snorted, "Peanut, senior director, don't be careless and underestimate the enemy just because he is your fan. Be careful with him in the World Championships!"
"Haha, I'm definitely not the kind of person who puts things off for fans. Let them see the strength of idols when the time comes." The director said confidently, "Mika must have had a lot of experience in this aspect when she played in DFM competitions!"
Well……
Last year's World Championship, when Mika lost, it had nothing to do with you, the factory manager.
Just pray that this time you don't get hit by Little Peanut, where Olaf is stunned by the ice for two seconds before he activates his ultimate move.
Meixia complained in her heart, but she was relatively relieved about this World Championship. After all, she had changed a lot of history this year. Even the previous bo5 score between rng and im in the second half of the district had changed from 3-2 in the previous life to 3-1. Defeating rox shouldn't be a problem.
It’s just that the meaningful number 4396 is full of chance and will most likely never appear again.
I feel a little regretful for no reason.
…
There is no competition in China this week, and the e-sports circle is as quiet as before the storm.
With the defeat of kt, the voices of support for lck and rox on the Korean Internet became more and more powerful, while kt, who unfortunately lost, was belittled to his heart's content.
In the eyes of the Korean Wolf Warriors, KT lost to ROX in the finals of a 50-50 training match with EDG, which means that LCK and EDG are at the same level or even more powerful, at least including these two teams in the finals!
"Score continues to brag about EDG and brag about Mika. Why are you silent after losing the game?"
"Don't worry, kt at least still has the qualifying rounds."
"EDG is still the god of war in the training matches. Didn't he always brag about EDG last year and the year before that? Why did he always leave the game in the top eight!"
