SKT's road to the Triple Crown was not an easy one.
From the debut and peak of S3, they thought their dynasty was about to begin.
But in S4, I met the top 10 players from Samsung at the time, and was beaten on the head. They couldn't even enter the World Championship.
The dynasty has just been established and the people are gone?
If this kind of blow were applied to an ordinary team, they might have been broken up long ago.
If you were an ordinary professional player, you might have chosen to change teams long ago and go to another strong team to continue chasing your dreams.
But SKT doesn't have it, and neither does faker.
They persisted, and he decided to defend a city alone!
Since his debut, Da Fei has never lost confidence in himself!
Even when facing the three-star cross at that time and facing the peak fat general, he was unwilling to lose.
But this time, he was actually beaten to the point of being stunned.
Da Fei is like this, and others are even more like this.
The same opponent, whom he jokingly calls his 'idol', has truly become a figure that is beyond Peanut's reach this year.
He can't beat him, and neither can blank.
The bottom lane duo, who have been in poor form all season, are now being rubbed against the floor by EDG's new bottom lane.
The strong man in the top lane was blasted by his opponent at a single point, and he was directly treated as a human machine!
What else can SKT win?
Losing the game is not terrible. What is terrible is that even though you have used all your cards, you are still unable to parry. Instead, you lose harder and harder, and the more you fight, the worse you get!
A good fight next time? What can I use to fight well? All based on one mouth?
Even if he is buckled, they don't think he can do anything to turn things around.
Panic
I’m really panicking about the horse deduction this time!
Looking at the increasingly hollow eyes of the team members, he took two steps back in shock!
Is this still SKT? Is this still the only SKT in history to win the Triple Crown?
Is this still the master of the king who is the only one in the world?
"This is not good! It seems like you are giving up on yourself in this atmosphere?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the door.
Everyone looked up and memories came flooding back to their hearts!
"Stupid chicken?"
"Chicken Lord!"
"Bengji? Why are you here?"
bengji pulled up a chair and sat down, smiling and saying: "Have you forgotten? I have been playing in the LPL this year! The World Championship happened to be held in the LPL, so I didn't go back and stayed to watch the game."
Wolf asked: "But you"
bengji: "You are asking, how can I come in if I am no longer from SKT, right?"
Wolf nodded, and Master Ji replied with a smile: "The boss asked me to come and see you."
When he said this, Master Ji's smile was obviously a little bitter, and everyone was silent.
When Ji Ye was traded to LPL, it was also the intention of SKT's top management.
Now, Master Ji is asked to cheer up the old team members and provide psychological counseling. This is somewhat heartbreaking.
If he didn't have deep enough feelings for the old team, Master Ji could completely ignore this weird request and refuse it directly.
But he didn't, because he did have a deep friendship with SKT.
"What? Do you want them to take my clothes and I can go up and assist you? Xianghe? You guys fought so hard!"
Master Ji was obviously joking. It was impossible for him to wear clothes and play, but it is an indisputable fact that SKT played ugly!
"I should have the most say on whether EDG will be strong this year. After they added the top laner this year, the strength of the entire team has improved a lot. Maybe what I tell you now is a bit hindsight!"
"You are SKT! No matter how strong your opponent is, you can't let him get five kills, right?"
Mr. Chicken's words were very straightforward and deeply hurt everyone's heart.
They were so ashamed that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Seeing the expressions of the others, Master Ji looked at the time and it was almost time. He couldn't take up too much time for the tactical arrangements of buckling horses.
So, he stood up: "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. I have to go back to the auditorium."
Before leaving, he did not forget to turn back to Brother Li and said: "By the way, Xianghe. The front row tickets I bought are quite expensive. If you only watch three games, it must be very uneconomical. What do you think?" "
Da Fei's heart skipped a beat and he smiled.
Seeing Da Fei's eyes gradually regaining the light, Kuan Ma nodded happily.
"Sure enough, after Ji Ye, SKT has no jungler anymore!"
"Thank you! bengji!"
Backstage, in the EDG lounge.
It was different from what many people imagined. The atmosphere backstage at EDG at this time was not fiery, but rather strangely calm!
The factory director was in a daze holding the water glass, Scout was playing with his wristband, the girl was resting with her eyes closed, IBOY was leaning on the gaming chair, watching the staff coming and going in trance...
As for Zhuang Tian, he took advantage of this moment to smoke like crazy...
There was no communication between the people, as if they had their own thoughts.
Abu watched all this silently and did not say anything to break the peace.
Because he knew that this was their last moment of relaxation.
It is said that the lagging side is under great pressure, but who knows that the leading side is also under great pressure.
Historically, situations like being forced into second place and chasing three situations have not never happened. When such a situation occurs, it is usually caused by excessive anxiety to end the series, which leads to various outrageous actions and a deformed mentality.
It's hard to guarantee that the same situation will happen to EDG's players next time they play.
Moreover, they themselves know very well that they will not give up on a team like SKT easily.
Trailing by three match points, this match point game will definitely usher in their craziest counterattack!
Can you and your team handle it?
None of them can guarantee it.
At this point in the game, the so-called tactical arrangements no longer have much meaning, and mentality affects the outcome the most.
So Abu spent the last few minutes giving psychological counseling to the team members.
"Come! Come closer, everyone!"
“This season, it’s the last step until today!”
"I have been very strict with you this summer and interfered in your private life, just for today!"
"Now it's time to harvest, but I want to tell you to relax! Try to relax yourself and don't have too much pressure. Play slowly!"
"We can afford to lose, but they are the ones who can't afford to lose!"
"I just hope that you can do just that when you go on the court! Slower, more steady, don't make mistakes, and don't give your opponents even the slightest chance! Because they will definitely play very hard in the next game! We don't want to fight them Gang, we want stability, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded.
Afterwards, he folded his palms and shouted: "EDG!"
"come on!!"
Before going on stage, Abu called Zhuang Tian.
"Xiao Zhuang!"
Zhuang Tian turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Abu thought for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Actually, there is nothing wrong, I just want to tell you."
"I didn't really like you when you first joined the team. But..."
"I'm so lucky to have you!"
Zhuang Tian was stunned after hearing this, and then responded with a smile: "Even if you say that, I will not forgive you for lying to me about the twins."
"Get out of here! You kid"
Zhuang Tian walked from the chief election to the stage with a smile. The spotlight was cast down, and the audience gave out the warmest cheers.
Looking at Zhuang Tian under the spotlight, Abu smiled and even had tears in his eyes.
"Coming! Coming! Coming!"
"Viewers! You are now watching the finals of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals! What is about to begin is the third game of today's finals, which is the match point game! The two teams are the No. 1 seed EDG team from the LPL. , and the SKT team holds the Triple Crown record!"
"Let us welcome them with the warmest applause!"
At the match point, the Haier brothers showed their highest etiquette and made another opening statement.
Because they know very well that the next few dozen minutes are likely to bring a successful conclusion to this world championship!
The door to the new century is about to be opened!
"It's hard to imagine how long I have been looking forward to this scene today for seven years! A whole seven years! My commentary career has been more than seven years! But I have been looking forward to today for seven years!"
As soon as he said this, the baby guide became a little moved again.
Miller followed up and said: "You may have many people who feel the same way as us. As a division with the largest number of players, why can't we always win the championship! Why is it so difficult for us to win the S competition? I have countless I have imagined today's scene in my dream for the first time, but until the dream really came into reality, I felt that none of my previous dreams were as perfect as today! 2-0, we have three match points, which I never dared to dream of. Thought!"
Child Director: "That's right! I want to tell you a little story here. Everyone knows that I have a good relationship with the factory director in private. I also asked him such a question before the World Championships. If it happens again this year What if I can’t win the championship? What if I get worse results than last year? What if this time it’s not 4396, but 3396 or 2396?”
"Do you know how the factory director replied to me?"
Brother Leg: "How to reply?"
Child's guide: "He only answered me with two words: Retirement."
Brother Leg was a little stunned: "Ah? Can this be said here?"
The baby guide shook his head: "I asked the factory director, and he said it doesn't matter. He is already convinced! As long as he doesn't win the championship this year, he will retire without hesitation no matter what the results are. I believe what he said at that time is true, because his My eyes don’t deceive me.”
At this point, the sad atmosphere has spread.
Many people in the audience shouted: Director, don't retire!
Mingkai! Don't retire!
Director Kewa immediately changed the subject: "Don't worry yet. I am a fan of the director. At the end of the chat, he even said something to me."
Countless pairs of ears in the audience stood up instantly.
"The factory director said he thought it would be more difficult to retire this year. I asked him why... and he told me with a mean smile."
"Thanks to the young master's delay, he may have to extend his retirement age!"
After he finished speaking, the cheers at the scene shifted from the factory director to Zhuang Tian.
Feeling the cheers of the audience through the headset, the factory director smiled.
"Master, listen."
"What?"
"It's the sound of pretending to be critical!"
