“Put away the clouds and see the light, and keep moving forward to Busan!”
"After EDG entered the semi-finals, there are already two LPL teams in this year's semi-finals."
As soon as the competition ended, Wang Duoduo began to summarize, and also wrote a poem along with it.
This is not the first time that both LPL teams have reached the semi-finals. In addition to last year, it has also happened before in S4.
But those before were meaningless.
Especially last year, I really don’t want to mention it again. Everyone was very happy that the two LPL teams entered the top four, but it turned out that they were paralyzed after the semi-finals.
It was very uncomfortable to be joined by two Korean teams at the Bird's Nest.
Of course, scalpers are probably much more uncomfortable than the audience.
This year's situation is obviously completely different. Everyone really doesn't believe that the LPL team can't make it to the finals this year.
Again, those who are bold are already imagining the final civil war.
At this moment worthy of celebration, RNG has to be mentioned.
While everyone congratulated EDG and IG, they couldn't help but want to step on RNG.
If you give me some help, we won't have three LPL teams in the top four this year.
The top four and three LPL teams have really never appeared before. If it can be completed, it will be regarded as the only one in history.
Moreover, the opportunities this year seem to be very good, and the draw conditions are very favorable. However, if you fail to use the opportunity given to you, there is really nothing you can do about it.
"Oh, we saw the OhYes gesture, it's very obvious."
"No matter if the game restarts, I will still beat you 4:0."
"When people look back on it a few years later, they will definitely remember this Bo5."
"..."
After Su Can finished his gesture, most of the Korean audience at the scene also left.
The remaining domestic fans at the scene gave the five EDG players their biggest cheers.
After the game, the time was pretty good.
Even though there was such a long pause, the game couldn't help but ended so quickly.
EDG played a game at one o'clock in the afternoon local time, so after the game, it was not too late and it was just time for dinner.
After the interview was over, the entire EDG team began to go out for dinner.
There is not much to eat here in Korea, mainly barbecue, so we found a barbecue restaurant.
There are really no obstacles to action in South Korea. There are more than one or two Koreans in the main team.
You go abroad to play games, and others return to your hometown.
In addition, South Korea is such a big place, even if they are not from this place, Su Can feels that they are quite familiar with it.
During the barbecue dinner, almost everyone took out their mobile phones to watch the next game.
In the game between KT and C9, the winner will be their opponent in the next round. There is nothing wrong with paying attention to the game.
On the surface, of course, KT is stronger, and the EDG team is already prepared to face KT by default.
Even when the coaching staff was preparing the opponent information for the next round in advance, they were studying KT, and no one on C9 was in charge.
In other words, if C9 can really advance in an upset, it will be good news for EDG, and there is no need to prepare later.
It is a rule within the team to watch the opponent's game in advance.
Not only the coach has to watch the game, but the players also have to watch it if they have time.
The result was not unexpected, KT defeated their opponent 3:1 to advance to the semifinals.
But the game didn't go so smoothly.
If KT hadn't gone against the wind and grabbed Baron in the third game to comeback, Su Can felt that this game was hard to predict, and he would have to reach the decisive game no matter what.
This year's C9 is still strong. The third seed can compete with South Korea's first seed. I have to praise it as the "Light of North America".
Su Can didn't have much idea about KT's opponent.
The outside world thinks that if they beat KT, EDG will basically guarantee the championship.
In fact, in Su Can's opinion, KT is not necessarily as difficult to beat as IG.
Anyway, no matter who the opponent is, just fight and that's it.
His arrival this year has at least changed KT's ranking.
In the original time and space, KT was sent away by IG in the first round, and Galaxy Battleship stopped in the top eight, which was somewhat embarrassing.
This year we made it to the semi-finals, which is pretty good.
After thinking about it carefully, the current top four have changed a lot compared to the original top four.
Originally, there was no one in the top four LCK, and the World Championship has never been so miserable in so many years.
At that time, there was only one IG, but it was Asia’s last hope.
If IG hadn't won the championship in the end, S8 would have really risen in Europe and the United States this year.
…
After the quarter-finals, we have to change cities again in the semi-finals.
This is also the standard mode of the S game.
When it was held in China last year, it also traveled to several cities.
However, EDG people are not in a hurry this time, because there is still nearly a week until the semi-finals.
For this reason, the S game gave people a deserted feeling.
Most of the teams have been eliminated, leaving only the last four, which has long lost the excitement at the beginning.
After a round of competition, you must give a certain amount of rest time. Of course, the most important thing is to play the game on the weekend.
After finishing this weekend, the semi-finals will begin next weekend, which is equivalent to at least six days in between.
During this time, even the players became more relaxed.
There are also fewer training matches, or almost none.
With only four teams, we can only make an appointment with the other half of the region.
Obviously if you want to win the championship this year, EDG is the biggest boss.
So IG has been scheduling training matches with KT in the past few days. Both teams have the ability to win the championship, but there is a big mountain in front of them, and that is EDG.
Now playing training matches with EDG is obviously meaningless.
If you want to practice something, you can't practice with EDG.
It makes no sense to say that the LPL needs to be united. This is the main reason why we are fighting, and there is nothing to unite with.
It is basically certain that IG will enter the finals, and they themselves are relatively confident.
After entering the finals, there is a high probability that they will face EDG.
To put it bluntly, everyone is a potential opponent, so don’t say anything about it.
My IG also wants to win the championship, but I want to help you win the championship.
If EDG wants to play training matches, they have only one choice, which is to eliminate RNG's G2 team.
But again, G2's strength this year is really not good, and it has not reached the level of S9.
If you practice with them, you won't be able to produce much content, and the quality of training matches is a bit low.
And even if Su Can doesn't play, it's relatively easy for EDG to win against G2 in this state.
Even the people who played EDG were confused. How did RNG lose?
After a day of training, the two teams broke up.
G2 doesn't want to be beaten all the time, which will affect their optimistic mentality.
Being able to reach the semi-finals mostly depends on mentality. If you maintain a good mentality, you might be able to compete with IG later.
If the mentality is also broken, it will be dangerous.
Besides, G2 would be satisfied with reaching the semi-finals.
At least now it seems that they are better than the No. 1 seed FNC. Before the game, who would have thought that their lineup could reach the semi-finals of the World Championship.
After there are no training games, EDG has nothing to do. At most, the players are just playing Rank.
It's not a problem to stay in the hotel all day, it's just too boring.
Su Can could tell that Haro had long wanted to go out and play, but was just waiting for him to speak.
As good brothers, you can see through each other's thoughts at a glance.
Haro was too embarrassed to speak, so Su Can had no choice but to invite him.
"There's nothing else to do in the evening, why don't you go out for a walk?"
"Okay, okay."
Haro quickly stood up and asked, "Do you know where I can wash my feet?"
"Wipe it, can you be a bit promising? You know how to wash feet all day long."
"Ask Nofe, he must know better at his age."
"Li Rucan definitely doesn't know. He has never even been in love."
Haro: "..."
Are you serious when you ask the head coach where he can wash his feet?
Only Su Can dared to do this kind of thing, Haro would never dare to do it.
If he really offends the coach or the management, it will really stop him from playing in the next game.
But Su Can won't.
If he doesn't play, let's see if the club can explain to the fans.
Even if Abu or Edzhu can make up their minds and go back to the game, Tengjing's top management will probably call.
Su Can just teased him, saying how could he really let Haro pass.
Forget about washing feet or something like that, it's still a bit unsafe to do that kind of thing in a foreign country.
If the girl washing feet is a Korean Wolf Warrior and calls the police directly for the glory of LCK, then Su Can will be banned directly. Please explain.
Just go out for a quick meal and some shopping.
Su Can didn't prepare to say hello when he went out this time, but Jin Xingyu still noticed it.
Haro didn't dare to speak, and Su Can didn't hide it, so he just said to go out to eat and hang out.
No one stopped them and just let them go.
After all, Korea is much better at night than Europe and the United States. The risk of danger is not that high, so it’s no problem to go out and have fun.
Just a warning not to do it too late.
At the same time, while Su Can was going to the bathroom, Jin Xingyu specifically whispered to Haro, asking Haro to watch Su Can more and not to mess around.
Although there is no danger, Su Can will survive on his own if he can't stand it.
The game has reached a critical moment like the last one, and no one can accept any accidents.
After Haro looked at him, he felt guilty and could only nod awkwardly.
To be honest, it’s hard to say who did the mess.
Su Can didn't notice anything, and the two of them walked directly out of the hotel's training room.
"Hey, have you two eaten?"
When I arrived at the hotel lobby on the first floor, I met Su Xiaoluo, the team leader of IG.
This guy was holding a lot of lunch boxes in his hand, and he probably ordered takeout.
This hotel does not deliver takeout, you can only come down and pick it up.
As the team leader, it is normal for Su Xiaoluo to be responsible for everyone's lives.
We have all been in Korea during this time, so we have some contact with each other, and we are considered acquaintances.
Su Can and he are still considered members of the same family.
Su Can stopped and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten yet. I plan to go out for a drink. Do you want to come together? You haven't been to a bar in Korea yet?"
"ah?"
Su Xiaoluo was dumbfounded.
The semi-finals will be played in a few days. Are you two planning to go to the bar to join forces?
Is this really appropriate?
The key is to leave it alone, why do you still call me? This is very difficult for me.
Su Xiaoluo definitely wants to go there because he usually takes the players out to have fun.
Drinking is a trivial matter, but there are more exciting things.
Thinking about it, it would be nice to go out for a drink with Su Can and the others. After being in Korea for so many days, I really haven’t had a drink.
And Su Xiaoluo knew very well that Su Can's call to him was probably just an invitation and had no other ideas.
To put it bluntly, EDG is much stronger than their team, so there is no need to get him drunk and get something out of his mouth.
But I might be able to get some valuable information from the two of them.
Heart-beating, Su Xiaoluo thought for a while and still refused.
The principal will fly to South Korea tomorrow to watch the IG games for two days, but he doesn't dare to be so brave.
If you are caught going out drinking later, even if you are flattering, you will inevitably get scolded.
Su Xiaoluo's rejection did not surprise Su Can, so she didn't expect him to actually go with her, but it was just to tease him.
Neither of us speak Korean very well, but that doesn't stop us from having fun outside.
First, we took a taxi and found a place to eat. After dinner, the two of us actually went to a nightclub.
It's not that he came here to drink. Su Can has a bad ability to drink and doesn't like drinking.
Mainly because Haro wanted to come over and have a look. It was probably because Su Can teased Su Xiaoluo that Haro remembered it in his heart.
If you can't find a place to wash your feet, you might as well go to a nightclub to see the beauties.
Su Can agrees with Haro's idea.
The two of them took a taxi to a relatively high-end nightclub in Busan. After entering, it felt like a completely different world from the outside.
As the king of bathing centers, Haro can't let go when he comes to the nightclub.
It was also the first time for Su Can to come to such a place, but on the surface it was still relatively calm.
[It is detected that you go to a nightclub during the Host World Championship, and you will be rewarded with an increase in alcohol consumption and dance proficiency. 】
"wipe."
Su Can just came in to order something delicious when he received a prompt from the system.
Both rewards are quite suitable for the place, and the question is of no use to Su Can.
What can people who don’t drink alcohol do if their drinking capacity increases?
The most arrogant thing is that I have maxed out my dancing ability. Are you planning on making my debut in the future?
Within a few minutes of sitting down, the two of them got used to the rhythm here.
I don't know if it was because of maxing out his dance proficiency, but Su Can felt that his body would keep beating to the music, and his body's rhythm in this aspect was obviously much better than before.
But if you really want to go to a disco or something, you might as well forget it. It’s not that Su Can can’t let go, but he’s a little afraid of being photographed.
After the World Championships, his popularity is not low now.
If he is photographed dancing like crazy, it doesn't matter what the outside world thinks. The problem is that if he has any contact with other girls, An Lan may be a little unhappy when he sees it.
And if it is too conspicuous and is seen by Korean black fans, there may be a risk of being beaten.
But despite her good looks, even though Su Can was very low-key, several Korean girls still came up to chat with her.
Judging from the reactions of the girls he was chatting with, he probably didn't recognize me either, so he just treated him like a passerby.
Indeed, if you don’t follow LOL, it’s normal not to know him.
Similarly, with so many people in the nightclub, mostly young people, many people must recognize him.
Su Can wondered if he was going to be photographed, but he didn't expect that he was actually photographed.
The Korean who photographed Su Can and Haro drinking in a nightclub didn't want to set the pace, so he just put the photo on the relevant section of the Korean forum.
I want to tell everyone that EDG went to a bar to drink before entering the jungle. In theory, does KT have a greater chance of winning?
This post triggered a heated discussion among the stickmen and once gave them hope!
