Chapter 103: It is our responsibility to create glory for LPL!
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Los Angeles is still in a state of turmoil.
There is a clear sky above, the city is bustling with traffic, and people are rushing to and fro.
The graceful figure sitting in a coffee shop, holding a bone china cup and taking a sip occasionally, seems to be a rose-red embellished among the green leaves, leaving a touch of calmness in the busy pace.
Nearly 20,000 spectators flocked to Staples Center in the central city area.
Today is October 30th.
The 2016 League of Legends World Championship has entered its final stage.
The EDG and SKT teams overcame numerous obstacles and difficulties.
The trophy is just one battle away!
"I have said what I should say many times before, so I won't repeat myself."
Abramovich made a pre-match mobilization speech: "To be able to get to this point, each of you is good enough. I just want to state a fact here."
"No one is optimistic about us in the summer season."
“We played a complete victory.”
“We lost to the wildcard in the group stage and no one was optimistic about us.”
"We qualified with a record of 5-1."
"No one is optimistic about us against ROX."
"We scored 3-0 which no one could have imagined!"
"Now, only SKT is left standing in our way. If we defeat them, we EDG and our LPL will be the strongest in the world!"
Even though Abu's shrill voice lacked some momentum.
The team members' blood was still burning.
That's right.
Since the team was founded, EDG has been best at creating miracles.
This has never changed from Season 4 to now.
So what if we face SKT this time?
We are still EDG!
"The biggest difference between SKT and ROX is that they can use two lineups."
BP coach Maokai made the final arrangements: "Bengi will appear on the field. In the early stage, he will definitely protect Faker and look for opportunities to target the mid lane."
"Blank pays relatively less attention to the mid lane, and his route is more inclined towards the bottom lane."
"If the dragon's attributes are strong, the upper jungle area may be left empty."
"But it should be noted that just because both junglers rarely go to the top lane doesn't mean SKT won't gank it."
"If Duke is a pure pressure-resistant hero, then the risk is not high. If it is a hero with cooperative ability, you must be careful in the top lane."
"I understand." Xing Dao deeply agreed.
SKT's current top laners Duke and Marin have completely different styles. They are best at withstanding pressure and surviving, as well as relying on the advantages of their teammates to split push and engage.
When facing most opponents, there is no need for the mid and jungle to take care of them.
But if Duke can't stand the pressure.
Faker, who can easily take the initiative, may not necessarily come up with his jungler.
After all, LCK has a very deep understanding of the importance of the top lane. If you have to choose one to protect between the top and bottom lanes, the answer is most likely the top lane.
but.
Xing Dao had made preparations early on.
Unless something unexpected happens, I will never compete with Duke in the early stages.
The other side.
SKT head coach KkOma also emphasized the key points of each aspect.
The competition and handling of the two heroes Ryze and Ashe, the relationship between Nami and Jhin, how to rely on the line to fight in the jungle, the advantage or disadvantage of the game, how to choose between different types of resources, etc.
soon.
It's time for the game to start.
A dreamy sky-blue mist filled the main stage.
The lights went out one by one.
Accompanied by the theme song Ignite, the simple and magnificent temple unfolds along the floor screen and curtain like a scroll.
Annie and Ashe's iconic skills appeared one after another, with fire and ice each occupying half of the area.
The winner has not yet been decided.
Nami's shadow waved her staff and summoned a huge wave that poured down.
Then.
Blood, storms, lava, lightning, and rune energies bloom one by one, bringing the audience an immersive visual feast.
The music reaches its climax.
The spotlight is on.
In the center of the stage, fireworks were ignited.
On the big screen hanging high in the air, the players' figures and wonderful operations appeared one by one, and finally froze into a bird's-eye view of the scene.
In the center, there is a shining summoner trophy.
Both sides of the trophy.
EDG and SKT members are lined up in each column.
Wait for the host to finish the introduction and go to your respective seats to prepare.
During the debugging of peripherals.
Pre-recorded trash talk was played.
In the S6 season, although the popularity of League of Legends was very high, it did not develop a particularly exaggerated fan economy.
Therefore, trash talk was not like the scripted, bland, old jokes played against each other as it turned out.
But it's random play.
As long as it does not go beyond the playing field, you can say anything.
When the factory manager was interviewed before, he attracted a lot of hatred, so much so that the SKT players prepared extremely offensive language.
The first to speak was ADC Bang: "When I see EDG, I think of the Royal Club back then."
In response, Deft was not to be outdone: "It's a pity that you are not Piglet, and I am not UZI."
Support Wolf took over: "Actually, we can. After all, we are also world champions."
Meiko: "Then let's meet in the game."
Talk to each position one by one.
EDG, which lacks historical honors, is clearly at a disadvantage.
Especially when facing Faker's bland words: "As long as we play normally, we should be able to win in the end."
Scout, a junior from SKT who was a trainee and didn't even get a chance to play, even forgot to refute.
Until the camera is given to the top position.
When Duke said: "I hope General will learn to be humble, and not become arrogant just because he wins over a few losers."
Xing Dao simply ignored this remark.
He started talking to himself: "In the finals of S3 and S4, Royal Club played against SKT and Samsung. At that time, UZI sat on the chair and cried. I will never forget that scene."
“At that moment I thought, if I can become a professional player, I must win them all.”
"Now, with the trophy in front of me, I have to wonder if this is my only chance in life."
"As long as we can beat SKT, we can prove that our LPL is the strongest region."
"It is our duty to create the glory of LPL!"
This scene.
It became the ending remark of the trash talk session.
“66666666——”
“666666——”
“Awesome!”
"Brother Jie is awesome!"
“It’s so impressive.”
"Kill SKT, double kill Faker!"
“Let them know what is number one in the world.”
The barrage exploded instantly.
More importantly, it is a copy of "It is our responsibility to create glory for LPL."
The screen is filled with layers of white text, and if you don't set a shield, you can't even see the picture clearly.
“That paragraph was really well said.” The factory manager heard the last few sentences before he put on his noise-canceling headphones.
"It's just so-so. Actually, I wanted to persuade Duke not to mock himself, but I felt it wasn't grand enough, so I changed it temporarily," Xing Dao recalled.
"Hahahahahaha, it's awesome that you even mock yourself." Meiko laughed very happily.
Junior brothers Scout and Deft were also infected by the atmosphere.
A relaxed expression appeared on his face.
"It's just that this year's theme song is a little lacking." BP coach Maokai felt that it lacked momentum and was too soft.
"Not bad." Xing Dao tapped his fingers casually on the keyboard: "There is a line in the lyrics that I really like."
"Which one?" the factory manager asked curiously.
"Win or die."
