Chapter 228: I don’t think Smeb is stronger than Duke!
“IG is awesome!”
"It's been a long time ! Our LPL team has made it to the World Finals again!"
"Yes, this is the resilience of LPL! This is the strength of IG!"
“…”
The commentary was accompanied by cheers from the audience.
IG advanced to the finals with a score of 3 to 1, defeating two of the three LCK teams. This certainly made the LPL audience ecstatic, but happiness in this world is conserved.
If someone is happy, it means someone is unhappy.
Korean audiences are very unhappy at this moment.
To be honest, when Faker performed the famous scenes of "ascension" and "extreme one-to-four" in the first game of BO5 today, leading SKT to win the first game with great momentum, at that moment, almost all the audience thought of the scene of the two Korean teams SKT and ROX meeting in the finals.
There were even quite a few Korean viewers who were fans of both teams, and at that moment they began to struggle over which team to support.
Unexpectedly, soon after, some Korean audiences who were struggling inside found out that they seemed to no longer be struggling before they could come to their senses.
Because SKT has been eliminated 3 to 1.
At this moment, some Korean viewers who still remained rational did not even have time to mourn for SKT's elimination, and the more radical trolls had already arrived on the battlefield.
"What are you fighting for? Are the SKT guys eating shit?"
"I'm really speechless! They played such a good hand so badly. What happened to the LCK meeting in the finals?"
"I don't understand, why didn't they target the opponent's jungler earlier? They knew their jungler was the most C."
"Come on, what era is this? Why does it feel like SKT is still superstitious about Faker?"
"To be honest, if Faker could really lead the team to victory, SKT wouldn't have performed so poorly in the summer split, allowing ROX to win the championship."
"Faker is not worthy of being a carry, he is not as good as Kuro."
"Alas, now we can only look to ROX, our last card in LCK."
“…”
It has to be said that e-sports fans only play for the real thing.
When SKT was killing it all, public opinion in South Korea said that Faker would lead SKT, the double champion, to establish a dynasty. Establishing a dynasty in the field of e-sports means winning three championships.
How high-spirited we were at that time.
However, no one expected that SKT's reputation would plummet after just one semi-final.
From a team that inherited the glory of LCK, they became a sinner on the pillar of shame.
At the moment the game ended, Li Fu looked towards the opposite competition seat, but he only saw the gloomy faces in the SKT competition seat and the man sitting in the mid-lane position with his hands supporting his forehead and covering his face.
Obviously, since the MSI, Faker and SKT's journey in the LCK summer season has not been smooth. In the end, they got the last ticket to this year's S game and reached the semi-finals after going through many hardships.
As long as they make it to the finals, Faker has enough confidence to teach his little brother ROX a lesson.
You know, in all the BO5 games between SKT and ROX so far, ROX has never won SKT. There was a rumor on the Internet that SKT was the curse binding ROX.
So...what about you?
Faker suddenly raised his head and looked across the stage at Li Fu who was sitting on the other side.
Are you also my nightmare that I can't escape from?
…
Backstage, everyone from IG had smiles on their faces.
Coach Chris came forward and gave everyone a big bear hug. When it was Li Fu's turn, he jumped up and pounded his shoulders, saying with a smile, "Well done! Well done !"
"Coach, do you think we have the potential to be champions?" A Xun came up and asked.
"Don't milk, don't milk!" Coach Chris was as superstitious as ever. Before the last step, he was afraid that he would accidentally say those two words and lose the championship.
Ah Xun, however, ignored all this and shouted, "What are you talking about? There's just the Tiger Team. We're not...eh? I don't think we've ever played against them."
Ah Xun was a little stunned.
Rookie next to him interrupted, "No, although we haven't played against each other, didn't Brother Fu fight against the Tiger Team when he was trying to enter the Canyon World Server? There was also a three-kill Tiger Team. I guess they should be familiar with this."
"That's not the same thing."
Li Fu immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, "Rank and competition are different, the other one doesn't count."
"Why doesn't it count?" Ah Xun immediately raised his head and said, "I've won before, so I've won before. At worst, I can just beat him again in this S-League."
“That’s right!”
"It's just the Tiger Team. We specialize in fighting tigers!"
"All enemies are paper tigers!"
"Fuck the Tigers!"
A group of people were excited.
At the same time, Li Fu also received a notice to go for an interview.
Save sighed when he heard the news. It was a pity that Li Fu didn't get the MVP in the top lane against SKT today, otherwise he would have been able to show up again.
When he arrived at the interview seat, the person responsible for interviewing him was Feng Sichu.
Meeting again on the stage on the other side of the ocean, they looked at each other and smiled before they spoke.
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room broke down again. Damn it, I was so happy to see the LPL team advance, but someone stuffed mouthfuls of dog food into my mouth.
"First of all, congratulations on defeating a strong team like SKT in today's semi-finals. How do you feel now? Do you have anything to say to SKT?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Fu's face as the host spoke.
Li Fu smiled and said without hesitation, "I feel relatively calm."
"Not excited?"
"Yeah, I'm actually fine."
"Why?"
"Because... well, it's not the first time we've won against SKT after all."
"What I want to tell them is that you are very strong, but you just happened to meet someone who is even stronger than us!"
Ohhh—!
As soon as Li Fu said this, the Chinese students and many enthusiastic European and American audiences at the scene immediately started to make a noise, and shouted Li Fu's name loudly with their hands on their mouths.
It has to be said that after MSI and this World Championship, the name Padre6 has become known to more and more audiences around the world, and his age-old but strong playing style has attracted the love of countless people.
Although there was booing at the scene and people thought Li Fu was pretending, Feng Sichu would rather believe that Li Fu was speaking from the heart.
She looked up shyly at Li Fu and continued the interview, "IG lost their first game today. We all know that the coach asked you to switch to jungle, and then they started winning. How would you rate your performance in the top and jungle positions against SKT today?"
"Any comments? SKT is very strong, I think I would be better in the top lane position." Li Fu nodded.
"Ah? But then why did he change to jungler?"
"Because Duke is the type of player who gets stronger when facing stronger opponents, it's difficult for me to radiate my advantages in the top lane position to my teammates, so I chose the jungle position."
"So it seems that you will still choose the jungle position when facing a strong enemy like ROX in a week?"
"No, I choose top."
Everyone at the scene was shocked when they heard this!
Even Feng Sichu was surprised and subconsciously asked, "Huh? Don't you think Smeb is a stronger player than Duke? Why not avoid his edge and choose to play jungle at this time?"
"Hmm..." Li Fusi really hesitated for two seconds, then said seriously to the camera, "In a sense, I don't think Smeb is a stronger player than Duke."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!
Backstage, in the ROXTigers' lounge.
With a puff!
Someone crushed the disposable paper cup in his hand.
"Shit!"
There was a ghostly scream in the lounge.
The gushing hot water splashed the coach next to him in the face!
