Seeing the confused looks from his teammates, Baolan twitched his lips, but in the end he didn't smile. He was actually quite embarrassed.
That's what it's like to be a player in a strong team. The players are all very strong, and whoever is weak will be embarrassed. The whole world knows that he is not in good condition now, and this thing cannot be argued with.
It might be said that Baolan wants to be bad, but that’s not true. Seeing that the team has rushed here and has the potential to win the championship, who wouldn’t want to play well?
"Alas..." He sighed softly in his heart. Although Baolan was still looking at the screen, his eyes were no longer focused, and he was as confused as his heart at this time.
No one can understand his struggle. The atmosphere in the LpL division at this time is quite harmonious. Both teams have advanced to the semi-finals. What else can they complain about?
Now many of them even fantasize about the famous scene of the century when the LpL region will fight a civil war in the World Finals.
Just thinking about it makes them very excited and full of longing. The emotions of fans of teams in other divisions and audiences in divisions are also very stable, at least as of today.
After all, as long as tomorrow hasn't come yet, there will be two teams on the field, LEc, LcK, and LpL. Even if they really don't like a certain team in their own division, they will only support them mindlessly during this period. At least, in This will be the case until the end of their road.
But the happy day will eventually pass. On October 27, the second round of eight-to-four battle began.
The first match between SKt and SpY was held at 7pm. Scp's performance in the group stage was remarkable. Audiences in Europe, America and even LpL generally believed that this team could give SKt a try.
But the result can be said to be quite unexpected. Although SpY was not killed as a piglet by SKt, it also allowed everyone to see another side of SKt.
That is the extremely terrifying stability. The five players have no leadership and no mistakes. Through a slight lead in various aspects such as troop lines, resource competition, team battle vision, etc., they steadily expand their advantages step by step.
Every step is a little ahead of you, and the mistakes are a little less than yours. They avoid fighting and do not take the risks of starting a group.
This kind of fighting style that divides slaves makes SpY, a new European powerhouse, very difficult to resist. It's like every punch hits cotton, which is quite uncomfortable.
This situation lasted for four consecutive sets, no matter how the opposite SpY coach changed the formation, allowing SKt to easily advance with a good score of 3-1.
Not to mention the person involved, SpY, even those watching the game found it very tortured. SpY seemed to be able to beat each wave of team battles, but in fact it was unbeatable. The head count after the end was also average. SKt's average head count in the four games was only around 14.
According to Yu Hui, SKt is playing a very old thing. They are trying to win the game again with the stability and operation that Lck was most proud of.
At present, there is no problem with SKt's thinking. Now that the hard power of the two sides is similar, the gap is once again reflected in the soft power of the team such as operation and command.
After entering the rhythm that this veteran team likes most, SpY's rough and rough operation processing became their Achilles' heel.
This is why there is such an average head ratio per game. To put it bluntly, SpY cannot be said to have been beaten to death by SKt, but was crushed by his own team's mistakes.
The second half of G2's game against dwG was also very exciting. Different from SKt's stable performance, G2 was more like showing off their skills.
They came up with several sets of play ideas one after another, which not only defeated dwG in terms of operation, but also outperformed them in terms of fighting, and there were also some fancy tricks.
With Ah P as the mage king, who can play both mage and traditional Ad, G2's playing style is very versatile, and the five starting players are extremely confident.
In Yu Hui's view, it is not too much to call this year's G2 the strongest and most perfect team among all previous European and American teams. It was not that unexpected to take away dwG 3-1.
The lonely looks in the eyes of Nuguri and Xu Xiu at the end when they left the stage made many viewers sigh. dwG is not weak, but they are indeed not very strong, at least when the Nuclear King plays Ad.
As soon as G2 Kai'Sa and Xayah were banned, dwG stepped half-foot into the coffin. Nuclear King was originally a forehand with Kai'Sa and backhand with Xayah, so these two were half-retired on the spot as soon as they were banned.
Although Brother Yuanshen tried his best and even used the black technology assisted by Orn in the end, it was still difficult to save the defeat.
G2 forced d, the guy who switched from mid laner to AD, to show off for a few games, and the mentality of playing against dwG exploded.
Since then, the list of the top four of S9 has been officially determined IGFpxSKtG2, and this will also be the grouping for the top four to enter the finals. This battle situation is great for LpL players. After all, there are only two teams left in their own division, and the opposite teams LcK and LEc are both There is only one lone player left, and their probability of entering the finals is quite high.
During the preparation period for the next semi-finals, the two teams IG and Fpx began to practice frequently. Although they were also opponents in a sense, at least the threat was not that prominent until the finals.
Now they are each facing the top seed in the other division, and they are all the strongest. The top priority is to successfully break through from the semi-finals together.
IG can learn a lot from Fpx in the top and middle lanes. Doinb's support flow is defeated by a strong laner like Rookie, and Jin Gong is not very able to withstand Asuna's beating.
However, IG is not as smart as Fpx in terms of coordination in the jungle. It is worth mentioning that whenever the two sides play training matches together, Yu Huidu's shouts of "Songbao Songbao" make Baolan feel a sense of crisis.
It's not that she has any other thoughts about Liu Qingsong, Yu Hui mainly wants to build a good relationship. After all, she can't wait to send Baolan to Liu Qingsong's bed to learn some new things~ It's just that she hasn't found a way yet~ LpL competition area official Bian also put a lot of thought into it. After all, judging from the grouping of the S competition, there is a high probability that their LpL can achieve the famous scene of the finals.
Therefore, the official team went off to coordinate the time of the teams in other divisions on behalf of the two teams, and helped them invite clubs that were supposed to be on vacation to train the two teams.
The other two divisions are doing the same thing. After all, both LcK and LEc have not won the championship for a long time. The division champions are really motivated. Both sides are even better than LpL officials.
Time quickly passed quietly as the major clubs prepared for war, and finally came to the match day on November 3.
Shanghai Pudong Football Stadium, named SAIC Pudong Football Stadium, is also known as the White Jade Bowl. Its shape concept comes from traditional Chinese porcelain. It covers an area of ten hectares and has a designed capacity of 100,000 people.
The semi-finals and finals of the S9 Global Finals will be held here, and the S9 League of Legends Finals is also the first time that the Shanghai Pudong Football Stadium has hosted the event.
The highly anticipated semi-finals officially opened. The bGm of S9's theme song resounded throughout the venue, and the pre-match mVs of IG and SKt began to be played on the large LED screens on all sides of the venue.
