The game was held as scheduled the next day. The rhythm of public opinion yesterday was still crazy, but most people's attention also shifted to the game.
After all, whether it was the game between KT and FNC in the morning or the civil war between IG and EDG in the afternoon, they were all full of highlights.
KT played against FNC. In fact, many people thought there was no suspense in this BO5, but FNC gave everyone a surprise.
At the beginning, FNC detonated the whole game with two devastating victories.
The top laner Viktor's electric shock was so painful that neither Urgot nor Sword Demon could do anything to deal with this rogue top laner.
But at the beginning of the third game, KT began to change their thinking, and when FNC selected Victor again, they locked the knife girl in seconds.
Coupled with the infinite care of the old captain RE, Bipo was directly captured and destroyed.
In the fourth game, it was still the brainless combination of Sword Girl and Wine Barrel. KT played a very smart game with a lane change in the middle.
Urgot turned to the middle line, and Sword Girl stepped forward, and Zhi's Sword Demon obeyed obediently.
In terms of the strength of the midfielder, KT is not inferior to FNC, and the alpaca and Mata in the bottom lane can also play a considerable advantage in the laning.
After getting familiar with the rhythm of FNC's style of play, KT finally turned over three games in a row, causing Mao Huang and Ou Cheng to shed tears on the stage.
The mentality of letting two chase three was too great, and the five FNC players did not hold back in the end.
This BO5 almost gave the LCK audience a heart attack, especially when they were pushed to the edge of the cliff by FNC 0-2.
KT almost caught up with AFS and GenG who went home first.
Soon, everyone turned their attention to the final LPL civil war.
The LPL audience watched this game with very mixed emotions. EDG actually played pretty well, but the disadvantage on the BP side was too great.
Now that the S game has started, most versions of heroes have surfaced.
Sword Girl, Akali, NOC, Enchantress, as well as the second-level Urgot, Sword Demon, Jace, Syndra, and Dutmeow are the heroes that IG is good at.
There was only one Urgot that Asuna basically didn't play. As a result, Rap took out this thing a few times in the first game and Asuna exploded it.
She doesn't play Urgot very much, but she knows Victor well! Ice Fist's half-meat Victor is really designed to restrain these melee short-handed midfielders.
He couldn't even bring out Ray's signature Sword Girl, and was finally carried away by IG with a clean score of three to zero.
During the handshake session after the game, everyone in EDG, who was disappointed, shook hands and also offered their blessings.
They are very aware of their own strength. In fact, being carried away by their own team may not be a bad thing.
At least judging from the public opinion after the game, there were almost no people complaining about EDG, and even the fans themselves were mentally prepared.
It's normal to lose. If IG overturns, the risk assessment of both clubs will collapse together.
The name of a civil war fantasy god is probably going to overwhelm EDG, and they will never be able to turn around in this life.
The top four teams and opponents have also been officially determined.
C9 vs. G2
KT vs IG
Just one of the four divisions advanced to the semi-finals, and now only IG is left in the LPL division.
After it was determined that IG was the only team, countless viewers began to move closer to IG. In just a few days, IG gained countless new fans out of thin air during training.
Because everyone came to their senses at this time, IG is now fighting alone. The same is true for EDG in S7, fighting alone.
Recalling that the last time they talked about meeting for a civil war was RNG, the LPL fans' resentment suddenly became even deeper.
When they lost the game, they felt sorry for themselves the most, but they also felt sorry for their brother teams and fans, for failing to live up to everyone's expectations. ….
On the day when their opponents were selected, the entire IG team rushed to the hotel arranged by Gwangju Riot Company to check in and prepare for the next semi-finals.
This time the IG crowd
He seemed to be alone, as RNG and EDG had returned home early.
After several days of public opinion fermentation, there have been a lot less posts trolling RNG online. It’s not that the trolls have let RNG go, but that they have more important things to do now.
The match between KT and IG is currently the focus of domestic public opinion. The strength of KT or the LCK team has left a shadow on many people. They are really worried that IG will overturn.
LPL audiences and officials have been clamoring for the first division of LOL for a whole year, but it cannot withstand the torment of failure.
Commentators and hosts also began to cheer for IG on social platforms
Commentator Miller: "Come on IG! Let's go to Incheon together!"
Zeyuan: "LPL needs an ultimate victory to break the haze, and IG can definitely do this!"
Yu Shuang YSde: "I believe in IG and my sister to get everything the LPL needs back."
Wawa: "Although RNG and EDG both fell one after another, the LPL's ace is still there! They are the five most suitable people."
Xiao Yuyuyu: "I'll wait for you in Incheon~"
Six days passed in the blink of an eye. On October 27, the semi-finals officially started. Major live broadcast rooms around the world started setting up early to prepare for the carnival.
This year's semi-finals are the year with the most complete divisions. The European and American divisions, plus the China and South Korea divisions, are also the year with the largest number of spectators.
After it was confirmed that G2 and C9 had entered the semi-finals, European and American audiences were aroused with great enthusiasm to watch the game. After many years, they finally no longer have to accompany them, which makes them crazy.
Therefore, the audience of all major live broadcast platforms is rising crazily. They have no reason not to, because in the end only two divisions can enter the championship competition.
Taking a bus into the Universiade venue of Gwangju Women's University, you can see that the square is packed with people.
After all, the competition between enemies in the European and North American divisions is no less interesting than the confrontation between China and South Korea.
IG people entered the competition venue through the VIP channel. Through the corridor glass, they could see the excited and crazy expressions of the audience in the stadium.
Watching this scene, Rookie's blood boiled: "There are so many people! It's the semifinals, bro, we're just one step away."
"Damn, there are too many people. Why do I feel like my legs are weak? Prince Ning, give me a hand~" Ah Shui joked.
Prince Ning pushed Ah Shui away and said disgustedly: "Don't lean on me if your legs are weak! Thank you!"
"Why am I so heartless?"
"I'm a jungler, and you're an AD who eats and drinks, what kind of relationship do I have with you?"
"Hell, what you said is too much! Aren't I just going to enjoy your popularity? Sister Yu can't eat more than I can?"
"I advise you to think clearly before speaking~"
"Um... I'm not worthy, okay, give the red to Sister Yu!"
Yu Hui smiled calmly: "This is only the semi-finals, the finals will be even bigger~"
A few people were chatting and laughing and accidentally bumped into G2 and others. When Ah P saw Yu Hui, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he came up and said something like:
"Asuna! We meet again. Great. Are you here to cheer me on? You are my goddess of luck. I can definitely kick Jensen's ass today~"
After finishing speaking, he added very excitedly: "Can you shake my hand? Give me some encouragement and I can make Sneaky's pretty face in cross-dressing cry, believe me!"….
"...Come on~"
Yu Hui looked complicated, but he still shook hands with Ah P, a talkative guy, and gave him a buff.
"Thank you Asuna, I want to be your opponent, it can only be me, wait for my good news!"
Ah P suppressed the cynical smile on his face and said seriously, and finally called his teammates to go to the lounge to prepare.
Yu Hui nodded: "I hope we can meet in Incheon."
Ah P waved his hand without looking back: "See you in Incheon!"
Although Perkz likes to work hard, it's not really offensive to say the least. He dances really well, talks tough enough, and deserves a beating, but he can afford to lose.
If his words win, he will dare to tweet and pop out the champagne. Even though he was beaten and tortured, he could still smile with a bruised nose and a swollen face. As the saying goes, the signal from the grave of a noisy child is not bad~
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the opening ceremony of the semi-finals officially began. As soon as the lights in the venue dimmed, more than 10,000 spectators cheered and screamed one after another.
There were players and fans from all over the world at the scene, and it was also the first time that the audience from the European and American divisions could equal the number of fans from Asia and China and South Korea.
The big screen in the center of the stage slowly became brighter, and as the aerial footage of Gwangju appeared, the sound of BGM also sounded.
【TakeitorrunrunrunIayoudon】
【Yoraffiyfun，SoIbreatheasyouilldron~】
BGM: The prelude of [Run] sounded, and representatives of the four semifinal teams flashed across the screen.
Perkz: "I have always believed in my own strength, but I have never had the chance to show it~ and when our team is running well, it will be more conducive to my performance~"
[Perkz is here, let’s take a look at his operation~Perkz! Let RNG explode instantly! , G2 beat RNG to a pulp! 】
The screen turned, and in the quarterfinals, Perkz's Enchantress flashed RQE and entered the field. RNG and the two retreated in seconds.
Jklove: "The Global Finals is actually an opportunity for me to be positive about myself and let the world know more about the LPL and me, a relatively powerful ADC!"
Sneaky: "Many coaches, analysts, and commentators predicted that we would not make it to the knockout rounds, but we did it!"
[Jensen hasn’t left yet, he wanted to intercept his opponent and he did it! 】
Enchantress suddenly appeared in the jungle and instantly killed the AFS shooter, reversing the outcome of the game.
[I would say this can be an exhausting slog, but if we win Worlds, it will be all worth it. 】
KT: "Many teams have only now realized that imitating other teams' successful methods will not allow them to win~"
Yu Hui: "This is the World Championship. Legends will inevitably fall, and new kings will also be reborn!"
As Yu Hui's voice fell, the promotional video also came to an end at this time.
"Bang bang!"
An excited male voice sounded, "Ha~~hey~Guangzhou~!!!"
LCK host Bao Xiaodi walked onto the stage in a suit and leather shoes, and crazy shouts suddenly erupted from the scene.
After Emperor Pao Xiao’s signature shouting commentary, the semifinals between G2 and C9 began successfully.
From the first game, G2 showed unparalleled dominance. Ah P in the middle could easily restrict Jensen's roaming.
In particular, the competition between the two sides for top laner Victor also made everyone at the scene excited. Currently, top laner Victor has also been promoted to the favorite in the field.
It has become the first choice of many players in the top lane during this period. After upgrading the core and strengthening the Q skill, the high acceleration and deceleration kiting method has tortured countless short hands. ….
So far, the four teams that have entered the semi-finals have not had many restrictions on Victor in the top lane, which shows how terrifying the power of the shit-stirring stick is.
Both sides have similar understandings of the version system. After C9's best time-horse system was firmly locked in the ban position.
In a pure competition of personal strength, C9 has almost no chance of winning.
G2 has not released the exclusive lineup of the North American team for three consecutive games, which proves that G2 has studied its opponents very thoroughly.
Using their strengths to make up for their weaknesses, C9 was helpless and won the game crisply with a score of 3-0.
C9’s World Championship journey ends, G2 is strong
Entered the final stage of the S finals.
After the game, G2 started an online championship party on Twitter as usual, and even showed off that the entire team met ig backstage, and that he and Yu Hui wanted to wish them well.
After the fermentation of today's European and American decisive games, the popularity of the League of Legends S8 global finals has become more and more popular.
Everyone began to turn their attention to tomorrow's China-South Korea battle between KT and IG, and there was a feeling that a storm was coming.
Half a day passed in a blink of an eye, and it soon came to IG’s game day.
"Damn it! You guys are in the audience! There are so many cute brothers in the queue today!"
Among the audience at the venue today, fans from China accounted for the majority of the entire venue.
At least half of it is from China, and the remaining half is evenly divided between Koreans and European and American audiences.
From this, we can also imagine how powerful the Chinese fan base at the game will be.
Not to mention the familiar lights and slogans, the huge IG team flag spanning eight or nine rows of seats is particularly eye-catching.
Hearing his teammates' exclamations, Yu Hui turned around and looked a little stunned. At the same time, he felt that the pressure on himself was even greater.
Prince Ning and Ah Shui rarely speak anymore. They carry too many people's expectations and dreams, and the pressure is really high.
"Wow, today's game is going to be explosive. Just in the period before the game, you can feel the excitement of the audience."
Those in the commentary box remember looking at the crowded audience area with some emotion.
"That's for sure! We've already made it to the semi-finals, brother. Let alone the audience, I'm shaking with excitement right now. Look at my hands~"
Guan Zeyuan stretched out his shaking arm in a funny way to show to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Sister Zhou complained: "You are obviously freezing. The temperature has dropped during this period. Please keep warm."
"Yes, it's already very cold here in Korea, but my heart is very hot. I can't wait to witness the new history created by IG."
"Don't suck, don't suck! We haven't reached the finals yet."
"Which time have I successfully breastfed on IG?"
While he was talking, Emperor Bao Xiao had already stepped onto the stage and started his signature hosting performance:
"First of all, I would like to invite our No. 1 seed in the LCK division, the favorite team to win the championship, K! T!!!"
"Welcome KT!"
The Korean audience in the stadium immediately burst into loud cheers to welcome the champion team of their own division.
"Ahhh Deft oppa!!"
"Sb!!!"
"KT! KT!"
Several people from KT appeared one after another during the announcement of Emperor Bao Xiao, and even Pan, who had been a substitute at the water dispenser for a long time, also stood on the stage.
After the cheers from the audience gradually subsided, Emperor Pao Xiao said with a smile: "I believe everyone already knows who the next team is..."
"Let us invite the LPL No. 1 seed, this year's champion, I!!G!!".
