On October 19, Summer arrived in New York with the team, and the two semifinals of the four teams will be held at Madison Square Garden in the city center soon.
From the group stage to the semi-finals, traveling to San Francisco, Chicago and then New York, it was a tiring journey. Even after being reborn, Meixia, who was always energetic, felt a little sleepy after getting off the plane.
Everyone rested in the hotel all day.
The next day, the organizers invited all contestants to participate in the semi-finals promotional video shooting.
I thought it would be similar to the promotional video for the quarter-finals and could be completed in two hours on location in the city, but the photographer's enthusiasm for the work was far beyond what Mi Xia thought.
The four teams set off from the hotel respectively.
On the American Summer side, the five EDGs first started shooting in Times Square, New York, then took a taxi to the Brooks Bridge, where many famous river jumping scenes are used in Hollywood movies, and finally returned to Madison Square Garden.
From front to back, we started shooting at three o'clock in the afternoon and arrived in front of the venue at five o'clock in the evening. Other teams going to landmark buildings such as the Empire State Building, New York Subway, Grand Central Station, etc. also arrived one after another to join.
Finally, there is the gaze of each team in the semi-finals against their old rivals outside the venue.
faker and yue lun.
The factory director and head An.
However, taking into account Ka's special identity and the fact that the real soul of h2k should be the European local player Fiven rather than the Korean player, we added a scene of the star players from the four teams leading the team into the venue.
And here's the problem. When shooting alone on location, because there is no reference of the same level, Mixia's height is easily hidden by the photographer's superb skills.
For example, in the New York Plaza, she and the huge billboard behind her complement each other. Coupled with her already elegant face, she looks like a fashion star in the photo. For another example, when shooting on a bridge, I only photographed the half body leaning on the bridge. The long hair fluttering in the breeze is also very touching.
But in front of Madison Square Garden, her teammates were all a bit taller than her, and her momentum was suddenly three points lower.
In the end, the photographer had to give up the idea and asked Mixia's four teammates to squat on the ground, while she stood in the middle and leaned against the pillar of the entrance channel to complete the shooting.
Of course, the picture taken in this way is very harmonious, but the director and Iko smiled bitterly after taking the picture.
The two of them can already guess the comments when the promotional video is released - it will probably be the same as when i went on the expedition, saying that ka is leading four dogs!
The pre-game interview was filmed in the stadium.
Finally, the torment was over, and the entire promotional video was shot at around six o'clock in the evening.
Everyone had a slightly expensive dinner in the center of New York, a place where land is precious, and then took the car back to the hotel.
The next day, the cut promotional video was released.
Sure enough, after seeing the last shot of edg, the Internet was full of comments mocking the relationship between the team members.
However, compared to the shots of EDG's whole team, or the scenes of Sakura girl being as beautiful as a fairy, the e-sports audience is still more interested in the story of the game, even the story of two men.
Faker and Yue Lun, looking at each other from a distance among the busy traffic outside Madison Square Garden, is undoubtedly the most topical scene at the moment!
During the Double Tribulation War, Feihuang became famous in one battle, but Yue Lun ran away with hatred!
Three years later, things have changed. One is struggling for life in Europe, while the other is already on the road to becoming a god.
….
The similarity is that both of them have matured a lot. Faker under the camera has a dull beard, while Yue Lun has gained weight.
Did Faker repeat the suppression of that day, or did Yue Lun succeed in revenge?
Although there is a huge gap in strength between the two teams, with the tag of a double calamity war and a war between Europe and South Korea, the popularity of the game is extremely high.
Even Mixia is curious about the first half of the competition!
You must know that in the parallel world before her rebirth, h2k lost to ssg in the semi-finals and missed the match with skt. Although Yue Lun entered the world championship again in s8, skt at that time was absent from the world championship.
World Tour.
In the end, until Yue Lun retired and entered the military service, these two former enemies never played against each other in an official game again. They only played a double-jeal solo match at Yue Lun's retirement ceremony. The double-jeal battle was accompanied by a generation of audiences. Youth ends.
However, in this world, because of her butterfly fanning the wind, the World Championship showdown between Faker and Yue Lun came true.
I really don’t know whether I should call Yue Lun lucky or unlucky.
But for Mixia, a lively spectator, it is of course extremely happy to see such a topical competition!
We don’t expect h2k to win even one game, even if it’s three games, as long as we can see Faker single-handedly kill Yue Lun or conversely, Yue Lun single-kill Faker, it’s definitely worth the price of admission!
…
The pre-game promotional video successfully aroused the enthusiasm for the game, and on October 22, skt and h2k took the lead in taking the field!
Meixia and her teammates ate weird-tasting fried rice and dumplings from a local Chinese restaurant in New York in the hotel, and watched the game in the next half.
This bo5 is absolutely cruel to European and American audiences, especially European audiences.
The ambitious SKT sent h2k away early with a clean 3-0. Even with K's rhythm that can hypnotize the audience, the game started at six o'clock and ended at nine o'clock, which was very fast.
European spectators who stayed up late to watch the game at 11 a.m. could even go back to sleep at two o'clock.
However, for viewers like Mixia who had already predicted the outcome of the game and just wanted to see the effect of the show, the whole game was indeed very interesting.
In the first two games, Yue Lun played to win the game and brought out Victor and Snake. However, not only did he not take advantage, the team lost the game, but he himself was killed by faker on the way.
In the last game, Yue Lun finally realized the gap between the teams and did not want to win. He chose his signature hero Enchantress in S and just wanted to kill the opponent solo.
However, in the mid-term, he found an opportunity to challenge faker Clockwork Demon. In the past, his qre had lost the most important chain, and he was unable to kill him. On the way back in the second stage, he got another Clockwork R Flash!
Then the enchantress was separated into two by using the passive [Ghost Shadow]. Yue Lun controlled the real enchantress to the left and the fake enchantress to the right.
But faker Clockwork Q guessed the real enchantress! Connected with level a to complete the counterattack!
The final exciting mid lane duel brought an end to the bo5 in the first half of the semi-finals.
Three years ago, Faker would be defeated by Yue Lun with a total score of 2-2, and he would be forced to have a double calamity duel to decide life and death.
Three years later, in three games, Yue Lun could no longer touch any of SKT's second towers.
Genius is still climbing the mountain, but the stepping stones are far behind him.
So faced with sjokz's questioning, "After the quarterfinals, many viewers began to think that edg is the more likely team to win this world championship. Some people also said that ka is a more talented player than faker. Have those analyzes and thoughts affected you? ? How are you going to prove yourself in the next finals!"
Faker looked at the audience and replied calmly, "I believe that ka may be the strongest mid laner at present, and edg also has the ability to win the championship. But I still believe in my progress. From i to the world championship, I and I My teammates are moving forward step by step and getting stronger! I am confident that in the finals, we will be stronger than anyone else!"
He feels that if edg reaches the World Championship, ka will be the best stepping stone for him to reach the World Championship again.
Just like how I once treated Yue Lun Ryu!
Dirty order
