After the game, there was a carnival in the country.
It’s not enough for everyone to be happy on their own, you have to read the hot reviews on various Korean websites.
Coupled with the portability of Korean-language commentary, you can enjoy it however you want.
All I can say is that everyone knows how to enjoy it.
Su Can also started to talk about the post-match interview, but the rest was fine.
After the game, everyone went out to find a place to eat. It didn't look like they were having much fun.
The teammates were quite excited, but they were too calm when they saw Su Can and Tian Ye, and they were too embarrassed to show it too much.
Everyone’s goal is to win the championship, that’s what we’ve said from the beginning.
Now they just made it to the semi-finals. Regardless of who the opponent is, this is considered a normal result and nothing to be excited about.
We are still short of the last two Bo5s before we can win the championship. It will not be too late to be happy when those two Bo5s are over.
After the game against SKT, another week-long offseason began.
Every time the World Championship reaches this stage, it is the most comfortable for Su Can.
You have free time and don’t have to play training matches.
Although Su Can doesn't play in every training match, at any rate, Su Can has to participate to some extent in the review after the game.
If the whole process was treated as if nothing happened, Su Can would seem to have no sense of existence at all, which would be somewhat unjustifiable.
There are now only four teams in total, and the number of training matches is very small.
For the two LPL teams in the other half of the region, it would be pointless to schedule a training match with EDG.
To put it bluntly, they are all from the LPL, and they already knew that Su Can would not be able to play in the training games.
This is a matter within the team, and it seems to have always been like this, and it is not directed at anyone.
No one can interfere with the use of EDG team members, that would be very rude.
But without Su Can, to be honest, the training matches are of little value.
Without EDG's Su Can, it can only be said that his strength is average and he can't stand up in China. Let alone the top four in the World Championship, he is not at this level at all.
If the two teams want to practice something, they have no choice but to go to G2.
G2 was also happy at first. Their next opponent was EDG, also an LPL team.
They have already determined their next opponents. The two sides will definitely not schedule any more training matches. They can only compete in official matches.
So in order to get familiar with EDG's play style, or some of the habits of LPL teams, it is still valuable to find two other LPL teams.
G2 was very busy in the first two days, and the training matches were almost fully booked.
Because the two LPL teams over there wanted to play with them, G2 did not refuse and accepted them all, which meant that they had to play more.
To be honest, for a European team, this training intensity is a bit wrong.
European and American teams usually have relatively easy training.
It can only be said that Europe is slightly better. After all, North America is too easy, so easy that even Su Can can't perform well.
Because everyone is showing off, how can he still show off? He belongs there and can blend in.
But the training intensity in Europe is incomparable to the LPL and South Korea.
Their players also said in interviews that they felt that Eastern players were too ruthless and their training intensity was too high.
Everyone thinks that working hard is a good thing, but they don't think so. They feel that doing so is consuming themselves in advance.
Therefore, many powerful professional players in China and South Korea have not been in their prime for long.
They think it is also related to excessive consumption. Look at Western players.
As long as there is some ability, basically there is no need to worry about finding a job, and various teams are constantly changing.
If Europe is no longer available, I can still play in North America, which is not an ordinary comfort.
But this year is different. This year they are playing at their own home court.
G2's current status can be regarded as the king of Europe.
They still want to achieve something at home, in front of their hometown folks.
Winning the championship at home is every team’s dream.
If G2 wins the World Championship in Europe this year, although it won't be the first championship in European history, the meaning will be similar to the first championship.
By then, no one can shake the status of the G2 team.
With this belief, the amount of training will naturally be larger.
Moreover, G2 is a team in Europe, so it has a relatively large amount of training.
It can be said that they were very motivated in the first two days, but after two games, G2 urgently stopped the training match.
Next, they didn't even play the scheduled training games, they didn't play a single game, and they were in a state of ruin just like EDG.
Because whether they are playing IG or FPX, G2 is very miserable.
It’s no longer a matter of low winning rate, it’s just that it’s difficult to win.
I don’t know why, but when they played against these two teams, G2 felt dizzy and felt like something was wrong with them.
It takes 10 games to win one. To be honest, this training game doesn't mean much. It's purely about mentality.
The G2 boss and coach are obviously aware of this. If they continue to play, the whole team's mentality will probably collapse.
When the time comes to face the more powerful EDG in the official competition, how will we fight?
The best way is to stop and adjust your mentality and wait for the game silently.
It's just that they don't have much hope themselves. They can't beat those two teams, let alone the stronger EDG.
You must know that the other two teams are only the second and third seeds. They have never been able to beat EDG.
The ridiculous LPL is really so strong that it makes people feel sick.
…
Soon, a week passed, and it was time for the semi-finals, which everyone was paying close attention to.
After reaching the semi-finals, the ratings of this year's World Championship actually did not increase very much. From a global perspective, they were not as good as last year at all.
Mainly, the first semi-final is a civil war in the LPL. People in South Korea don’t want to watch it in the first place.
For Koreans, this year's World Championship has ended early.
There are definitely people going to see it, but the attention is much lower.
Including other regions, it is actually similar.
It's not my home team, so I don't pay much attention to it. In addition, the two teams IG and FPX don't have enough fans around the world.
IG is slightly better. They performed well in last year's World Championship, but they didn't win the championship. It's hard to have that many fans.
Not to mention FPX. In the original parallel time and space, even if they won the S9 World Championship, their popularity seemed to be low.
Of course, there are a lot of domestic fans watching, but the domestic data is really too watery.
Except within each live broadcast platform’s own company, no one knows how many people are watching the game.
There are also various second routes and the like, which are very difficult to count.
Therefore, when calculating ratings, domestic data is never included.
But just watching the game, this game is still very exciting.
It was similar to the semi-final match that Su Can remembered.
This game was the ultimate in fighting, and it showed audiences around the world what fighting in the LPL is.
It's a complete brawl, all kinds of unreasonable.
In the first game, both sides took almost fifty heads.
This data is extremely exaggerated and has far exceeded the timeline.
When the Korean team saw it at this time, they must have shouted that it is impossible. How could someone play the game like this? Aren't you all underdeveloped?
But in the end, the game was won by FPX.
The score of 3:1 looks like there is still a gap in strength. It can only be said that anyone who has watched the game knows that the gap is not that big.
IG just didn't collapse. TheShy's Angel made a mistake on the top lane and gave the opponent a chance.
Otherwise, there is a good chance of reaching the fifth game. If it does reach the fifth game, it’s really hard to say.
But losing means losing. IG regretfully stopped and bid farewell to this World Championship, failing to reach the finals for two consecutive seasons.
It's also acceptable to IG. Just have fun playing this game and have no regrets.
Of course it would be better if you really reach the finals. Just reaching the finals is equivalent to locking in the runner-up place.
There is no way they can beat EDG. All the teams in the LPL have studied Su Can like crazy, and finally came to the conclusion that this person is really impossible to deal with.
There is no difference between the semi-finals and the runner-up. Knowing that you can't win the championship, there is nothing to feel sad about.
On the bright side, I can take a week off before reaching the finals.
The next day was Su Can's game against G2.
The ratings of this game will definitely not be low. One is that G2 is a European team, and the whole of Europe and the United States will pay attention to them.
North America and Europe argue every day about which one is stronger, but as long as they are not directly facing each other, they will still support each other.
Coupled with the EDG team and the existence of Su Can, it is very popular around the world.
For the duel between two highly popular teams, Riot Games is very confident in terms of ratings.
The match was held in Madrid, and the stadium was very big.
I had mentioned her name before, but Su Can didn't remember it.
According to Su Can's estimate, there were at least 20,000 spectators inside.
LOL games have so many spectators, which is already considered a lot.
The stage must be equipped with a soundproof room. Just a pair of soundproof headphones is really not enough.
When they played before the game, I could tell that G2's popularity was really going to explode.
There will definitely be supporters of Su Can and others at the scene, but compared with other hosts, you are simply overestimating your capabilities.
This is the second time I have come to Europe to play a game. Anyway, Su Can can feel that the enthusiasm for the game of LOL in Europe, or the competition of this game, is still very high.
At least it's much better than the North American side.
The reason why North America is so bad and has never achieved any results is also related to this environment.
The European audience is not a Korean audience, and Su Can is not that hostile, so he insists on leaving the library at the scene.
To put it bluntly, even if they really beat G2, the audience will give EDG applause and cheers. There is still no problem with the layout.
When selecting players, G2 was adjusting their activities and directly selected the hero Pike.
Pyke is the representative hero of G2. They used it in this year's MSI. The top laner Pyke was so powerful that he knocked SKT unconscious.
At that time, everyone was still joking that G2 was going to start a renaissance.
But after MSI ended, the hero Pike was also targeted by designers.
The designer is like this. The heroes he designs usually have designated positions.
You suddenly changed positions and still played well, so I, the designer, don't want to lose face?
For example, Ekko was the same back then. He was a mid lane assassin when he came out, but he became a top laner in S6. He was very disgusting and very popular in the game.
Later, the designer made some changes and top laner Ekko was no longer seen.
The same goes for Pike. The designer only wants him to be a support player. Going solo is obviously not in line with the original intention of designing this hero.
Now that I have been slashed, although it is not too severe, it is no longer very comfortable online.
When I could get it in MSI before, I was not very comfortable online, and I had to resist pressure.
If I take it out now, I would be afraid of serious consequences. G2 would not dare to choose it at all. I would just show it to see the effect.
The audience burst into violent cheers, wasn't this effect achieved?
G2 didn't choose, but Su Can had an idea.
Don't tell me, it seems like I've never played with Parker before.
For Su Can, who always likes to try various heroes, it is intolerable to have never played this hero before.
G2's actions were equivalent to reminding Su Can.
Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a big problem. You can still take it if you want.
G2 used to shine in the top lane. In fact, the mid laner can also be played, and the solo lane Pike that was first developed was for the mid lane.
Choosing this hero is a bit difficult for laning.
But with Su Can's abnormal personal ability now, it doesn't matter to him that the laning is more difficult.
When playing in the lane, it wasn't that he was suppressed, it was just that he couldn't suppress others at the beginning.
It's hard to say that it's a bit unrealistic to beat Su Can.
This hero is not brought out for lane play, but mainly for roaming.
Just after returning to the mid lane, Su Can left the deepest impression on people because of his wandering.
After getting Pike, it was like a fish in water. Su Can could drive the rhythm of the whole game.
In addition, the opponent is G2, and choosing Pike opposite them, the program effect is really strong.
In this game, there is not so much suspense about winning or losing. Su Can is far less focused than when he played SKT in the last round.
While playing the game, you can definitely create some program effects, no problem.
"Really or not, you want to play mid laner Pike?"
After Su Can expressed his thoughts, it was obvious that his teammates were also in high spirits.
Now no one would be surprised by Su Can's thoughts. They have been assimilated by Su Can's guidance and they all find it quite interesting.
In the first game, everyone was just trying it out.
Taking a step back and saying that it doesn't matter even if he loses, the factory director didn't even think about it and directly issued the order: "If you want to play, then take it and give it a good performance."
In fact, to be honest, the factory director also wanted to see how Su Can's Parker played.
"Oh, both sides are showing off their pike."
"It seems like they all want to interact with the audience, right?"
Seeing EDG also lighting up Pike, the three commentators, 957, Wang Duoduo, and Tong Xi, all laughed.
"Hey, it was locked immediately, EDG actually chose it!"
But the next second, the three of them could no longer laugh.
They saw EDG directly locking this hero on the fifth floor!
