The semifinals ended,
IG and RNG meet again for Xia Jue.
Among them, RNG miraculously allowed two to chase three in the semi-finals. After the game, Uzi and Mata looked at each other and smiled, extinguishing their grudges and breaking the rumored handshake of discord in the bottom lane.
This scene immediately made RNG a hot topic on Weibo, becoming the most beautiful player in today's semi-finals. The popularity even completely overshadowed IG, which had won seventeen consecutive games and advanced to the finals.
"Nais! Crush them to death!"
Backstage, RNG manager Su Xiaoluo smiled broadly while looking at the hot searches on Weibo, and finally felt relieved.
It’s not easy!
It’s really not easy to ride a horse!
This summer, since RNG encountered the Waterloo of IG in the second round of the regular season, the Galaxy Battleship, which once had countless fans and infinite scenery, has gradually lost its halo like a pearl covered in dust.
In contrast, the IG team is becoming more and more courageous and vigorous all the way.
The 16-game winning streak in the regular season completely made this team that he once abandoned completely overtaken Galaxy Battleship RNG, which made Su Xiaoluo almost feel depressed for a while.
Fortunately, RNG finally found its form in the playoffs.
First defeat LGD, then beat EDG. Both rounds of BO5 were full in terms of intensity and time. Today, they completed the counterattack of two to three, allowing countless fans to regain their lost confidence and courage.
Su Xiaoluo, among other things, is quite good at fan management. He used to be responsible for the fan management of the official blog when he was on IG. Seeing the heat falling from the sky, he quickly caught it and posted a tweet about sprinting for Xia Jue. Bo.
[The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, letting two chase three! 】
[The next goal is to wear one and three! Summer Finals are here! This summer belongs to all RNG fans! 】
As soon as the official blog was posted, fans who had lost their followers when RNG was in a downturn all flocked to comment on it and started a joyful team building on Weibo, as if they had won a victory.
And the topic #RNG一衣三# has once again become a hot search topic on Weibo. Su Xiaoluo is so happy that he can’t open his mouth from ear to ear. Look at his hot spot detection ability. I won’t say whether he can wear it or not. Anyway, let’s get the traffic first.
In the evening, IG Club by the Huangpu River.
The first person to see the hot search for RNG on Weibo was A Sturgeon.
There is nothing I can do, there are so many of them, it’s hard to even open Weibo and try not to see them.
Moreover, those Sima marketing accounts are also very outrageous. They boast about RNG. In their words, IG seems to have become fish on the chopping board. They deserve to be the background board for RNG's "one to three in the playoffs".
"Damn, I love popping champagne so much."
Ah Zhen read what he saw on his phone to his family, and after reading it he couldn't help but complain.
"Our former manager was like this." Rookie smiled and shook his head.
Li Fu seemed thoughtful after hearing this, and immediately noticed the attention of everyone, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Take this as encouragement, to encourage us not to lose this time."
After hearing this, coach Chris glanced at Li Fu with admiration. He had a good attitude and simply clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry about online things. All the players have to do is play well. The finals will be in one week. Let's take this opportunity to start." Let’s have a meeting where everyone talks about their opinions on RNG in the playoffs. Everyone has to say, who comes first?”
Most of the people here are Internet-addicted teenagers. If you want to say that the canyon can squirt five times a second, then everyone is good at it.
But speaking in front of everyone, it was a bit difficult to speak, and they looked at each other for a while.
Save, who was sitting in the starting position of the top laner, saw that everyone was silent and stood up on the spot, "Let's start with me. I don't think you need to panic when playing RNG. If you can beat them in BO3 or BO5 in the regular season, it's not a problem. At least Getting on the road is not a problem, Brother Fu and I are killing each other."
Chris couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
This guy really knows how to speak.
However, Chris must admit that after this summer, although Save was not firmly in the starting lineup, it was in those games he played off the stage that he will make great progress next time he plays.
In other words, in those games where Save failed to play, he was like a sponge in the audience, absorbing the nutrients from Li Fu's games. The only problem was that his personality was a bit too out-of-touch.
But Chris didn't think this was a problem in his heart.
Of those top top laners who can leave their ID in the history of LPL, which one is not full of personality?
With Save taking the lead, A sturgeon also spoke, "If I play RNG, don't worry in the jungle. Although I can't overwhelm Mala Xiang Guo, the opponent can't overpower me either."
Rookie squinted after hearing this, "Did you just tell me to blow up the spicy hotpot?"
"That's not bragging in private." A Zhen looked slightly embarrassed, and then remembered what Save had just said, and couldn't help but straighten up his chest and said, "But it doesn't matter, Brother Fu and I are killing each other randomly."
puff-!
Baolan, who was on the bottom lane, couldn't help but laugh.
Immediately everyone laughed out loud.
"Damn, I really envy you, you can all kill with Brother Fu." Rookie smiled and spread his hands, "I can't do it anymore, or Brother Fu can also switch to the mid lane."
"It's not impossible." Li Fu smiled.
"Brother I want to exhaust myself to death." Chris rolled his eyes at Rookie.
"Just kidding." Rookie coughed dryly and said with a serious face, "But when it comes to playing RNG, I really have nothing to say in the middle. Xiaohu is a bit weird. When his teammates are strong, he is very powerful, but when his teammates are not, he is very powerful. When I was there, I felt like he was sending me away."
"I understand what you mean." Li Fu said with a smile, "Then let's see if we can defeat his teammates."
"Sure enough, Brother Fu understands me best." Rookie smiled shyly.
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked towards the bottom lane.
Wuxx said nervously, "I will fight well in the lane."
"No ambition!" A Sturgeon interrupted, "Can't you say you can beat Uzi?"
"Well, it's useless even if I say this." Wuxx felt a little aggrieved by the criticism.
It's time to play and have fun, don't make fun of Brother Zao.
To be honest, Brother Zaozi, who doesn't eat or take a shower, is still very good. Not to mention Wuxx's lack of confidence, Brother Zaozi didn't have much AD in the LPL during his peak period, so he could say he was a stable player.
"What are you talking about?" Coach Chris glanced at A sturgeon immediately, then turned around and said gently to Wuxx, "Don't listen to A sturgeon's nonsense. You guys are playing well in the bottom lane this season, so just play normally. Don’t think about who is overpowering whom.”
Wuxx nodded when he heard this and said no more.
When Baolan saw this, he knew it was time to show off. After all, if nothing else, IG has a lot of support.
"Don't worry, everyone. I dare not say anything else. I dare not say that MATA will not surpass me in roaming support, but in the laning aspect, Wuxx and I will definitely not have any problems."
"Okay, very energetic!"
Just keep saying that you can play well, but coaches really like to hear encouraging words.
Li Fu saw this and simply followed suit, "I think we will definitely win more than 17 consecutive victories this summer!"
More than seventeen consecutive victories
That means winning the championship directly with 18 consecutive victories.
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly surged, and no one was willing to stop there.
You won't be able to prepare for war just by talking words. Tonight is just to inspire people.
In the following week or so before the Summer Finals, except for taking one day to record the Summer Finals materials, IG basically maintained the intensity of two training matches a day.
After the training match, we reviewed the review. Coach Chris talked about it in detail and didn’t miss any details.
When the game was approaching, the support rates of the two teams for the summer finals also appeared on the Internet.
Thanks to RNG's terrifying resilience in defeating powerful opponents in two rounds of BO5 in the playoffs, the support rate on the Internet did not show a one-sided advantage. RNG's support rate of only 45% was slightly lower than IG, which has won seventeen consecutive games so far. .
People can't help but feel that RNG is still RNG, and it is worthy of being the Galaxy Battleship of LPL this summer.
This would be completely impossible for other teams.
time flies.
On August 26, the much-anticipated Summer Finals finally arrived.
After this period of warm-up fermentation and the drainage of major e-sports self-media, Su Xiaoluo occasionally used RNG's official Weibo to shout a few words, "One wears three to witness the return of the king", "The royal family never gives up" and the like slogan, the game was completely hyped before the game even started.
Jianghai, Mercedes-Benz Center venue.
At four o'clock in the evening, the huge venue was packed, and at a glance, everything was filled with people.
As soon as the time reached four o'clock, the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed.
A group of low-profile performers dressed in League Hero Coser uniforms appeared on the stage. Immediately, dynamic music sounded, and the scene was suddenly lit up again.
In an instant, familiar cosplayers such as Ahri, Little Yellow-haired EZ, and Piltover Policewoman appeared on the stage. The most eye-catching ones were the ones standing in the middle wearing Zed, Lucian, and Master Yi, who had a strong sense of metal. Project series Cosplayers have been selling very popular skins during this time.
The official starting point is good.
However, viewers in the live broadcast rooms on major platforms did not buy it.
"Are you drafting it? Have you agreed on a match at four o'clock?"
"What kind of rural non-mainstream is this? I'm so embarrassed about riding a horse that I almost get cancer."
"Please let the officials stop messing around. They really want to show that you are ready to join a girl group."
"Hey, the girl group is good, this is good, I like to watch it."
"."
The barrage in the live broadcast room flooded the screen.
Fortunately, the officials were more considerate. The warm-up session for the cosplayers in this alliance only lasted less than three minutes. As the lights of the Mercedes-Benz Center were turned on again, the host in suits and ties also stepped onto the stage.
"Hello to all summoners on site and in front of the live broadcast room, welcome to our 2016 Summer Finals competition site. I believe everyone has been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Well, without further ado, let us Please bring out the teams from both sides! The first team to come out is our IG—!"
Following the host's introduction, a group of people who had been preparing on the stage appeared on the stage in an elevator.
"First of all, let's invite Padre6, the top laner in IG's starting lineup today!"
As soon as the words fell, a burst of extremely warm cheers erupted from the scene. Countless fans in the surrounding auditorium waved their support cards, and Rookie behind him felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
Once upon a time, Li Fu was still a veteran who had been in the LPL for many years but achieved nothing.
But now, no one in the world knows you!
This is Brother Fu.
Next, the host introduced all five members of IG's starting lineup today in the same way.
"Next, let us welcome another team! They are RNG! The Royal Family will never give up!"
"The first one to appear is top laner Looper!"
The introduction process on RNG's side was similar, but when it finally came to Uzi, the cheers at the scene obviously went up a notch, almost on the same level as Li Fu. This is the star effect of a super player.
After the introduction of the players from both sides, they took their seats in the soundproof competition rooms on both sides of the stage.
A trophy stand slowly rose in the middle of the stage - Li Fu held the Silver Dragon Cup they won last season in both hands and slowly placed it on the pedestal.
At the same time, the big screen simultaneously played the trash talk recorded by players from the two teams in the past few days.
Looper's steady and calm face first appeared in the camera, and he said in a calm tone, "If he meets Padre6 again on the road to the finals, I will tell him with practical actions that specialization is a very important thing, and the career of a professional player There is only one position in the game that can really be played well."
The next second, the camera showed Save.
"I agree with Looper's view because he is an ordinary person like me." After a pause, Save's expression suddenly became serious and he added, "But, Brother Fu is not."
grass! So licking!
The barrage saw this and made a lot of complaints.
Immediately afterwards, the camera quickly turned to Mala Xiangguo, "I hope Padre6 can appear more as a jungler in this finals, because in the playoffs I have already defeated Eimy and the factory director, and I am still one step behind him." Only then can it be filled up.”
Rookie's chubby face is always smiling.
"I think Xiaohu is a player with no shortcomings. Likewise, I don't think he has any advantages either."
Wuxx scratched his head: I want to win the championship, not to prove anything. Well, actually I still want to prove something.
The subtext of this statement is self-explanatory.
Prove what?
Naturally, it proves that it was not his fault that he was kicked out by RNG.
The next second,
The camera goes to Mata.
"AD determines the lower limit of the bottom lane, and the support determines the upper limit of the bottom lane. Fortunately, I can meet a top ADC player like Uzi who can infinitely increase my upper limit in another journey of my career, instead of others."
As soon as these words came out,
The smell of gunpowder between the ex and the current one is instantly pungent!
Next,
The camera jumps between several players.
Each person only had one or two sentences, but there was a sense of unruliness in their words.
At a certain moment, before the person who appeared on the big screen opened his mouth, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the scene!
Uzi was wearing an RNG team uniform, with his hands behind his back and his back straight as he faced the camera. "This period has been a good period of growth for me. I don't care about other people's opinions and ridicule of me, because I know very well. What do you want? As for today’s opponent, what I want to say is...
At the age of 17, I reached the finals of the global finals. What about you? "
The moment he finished saying this, the fat man's eyes facing the camera were full of unruly provocation.
The atmosphere was immediately ignited.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the camera showed Li Fu, whose expression looked unexpectedly calm.
I saw him rubbing his wrist. He was obviously filming but did not look at the camera. At this moment, he turned his head and bent slightly as if he was talking to someone, "Well, can you not return the Silver Dragon Cup tomorrow? It's very troublesome to move it around. The uh.”
Ouch!
All of a sudden, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded.
"6666, Fuhuang is so sexy!"
"That's right, it's really troublesome to move around."
"You kid (Gotou) didn't win the championship, so you were only thinking about the trophy, right? Be careful of people calling you a thief."
"."
Ending with pregame trash talk.
After the coaches from both sides guessed the coins, the victorious Chris happily got the right to choose the side for the first game and returned to the IG game room on the side of the stage, and immediately decisively chose the blue side.
"Zheng" sound!
The first battle of the Summer Finals BO5 has begun!
(End of chapter)
