Chapter 739: Don’t you LPL have your own home stadium? !
“Congratulations to EDG!”
Wawa, Miller and Shenchao said in unison.
When the dust settled, the audience at the scene and watching the live broadcast in front of the monitors all started celebrating.
Compared to the thrilling situations of IG and KT, they were almost overturned by a little bit.
The game between EDG and FNC can only be described as a crushing victory.
The 'crush' here doesn't mean five people against five people, but EDG's top laner crushing the entire FNC team!
Ekko, a hero that had never been chosen in an official game before and had only been played in the All-Star Entertainment Game as a dual-cultivation, one-shot-kill hero, was brought out, giving everyone the feeling that EDG's top laner still had some energy left.
No.
Not a feeling.
I just have enough energy!
When the European e-sports media saw FNC meet EDG, they knew that the chances of winning were extremely slim, so they prepared for their own team to be defeated early on and wrote a lot of battle report templates in advance.
For example, the rookie top laner Bibab faced the current world No. 1 and gave a brilliant performance, winning with honor.
For example, the French King Caps played in the style of the European region and left the field standing.
For example, AD player Ou Cheng, who debuted in S2, is still strong and lived up to the title of the top talent who can add AD and C. Even though he lost, he left a deep impression on his opponents, etc.
Now take a look.
Good job.
Don’t send it anymore.
In the first game, he tried to be clever by changing the line, but ended up losing more than he gained.
In the third game, I was stepped on the head and hit in the face by a hero chosen at random.
Except for the second game which can barely be described as "not as skilled as others", the others are simply beyond words. It's embarrassing no matter how you post them!
…
"EDG defeated FNC 3-0 in today's match and secured the third ticket to the semi-finals."
"Tomorrow's match will be between RNG and JDG."
Wawa's introduction here had a bit of weirdness in his tone: "No matter what the result is tomorrow, our LPL region has taken three seats in the top four and surrounded... North America's third seed C9!"
Hear this.
Not only the audience burst into laughter.
Even Miller on the commentary desk and special guest Shen Chao couldn't control their expressions.
Wawa deliberately pointed out the title of C9 team's "North America's third seed", which was not a hint.
But say it clearly!
As we all know, North America (LCS.NA) is a region that is only slightly stronger than LMS, and is often at a disadvantage compared to LCS.EU, which is also known as the "European and American noobs."
It is incomparable to LPL and LCK, which have always remained in the top two in the world and are competing for the world's first place.
All that's left is a third seed.
Let’s look at the LPL side.
The number one seed is EDG, the double champion + Grand Slam in the same year + one step away from a super Grand Slam.
The second seed is IG, whose individual strength is unreasonable. They won various 4v5 and 3v5 team battles. After defeating KT, they transformed and made up for their operational shortcomings.
The third seed is RNG, which has the Asian Games champion AD player UZI and two top junglers who rotate in, Mala Xiangguo and Karsa. They only finished third in the summer season after being defeated by EDG in the semi-finals. It is really hard to say who will win against IG.
Number four...
to be honest.
The newcomers in the JDG team all have good potential, but a large part of this potential has not yet been transformed into strength. If they want to qualify against RNG, which has been at the level of the "Big Three" for two consecutive seasons, it is still a little bit more difficult.
certainly.
This is just theory.
When fighting breaks out, anything is possible.
It still depends on how we perform in actual combat tomorrow.
"Let's take a look at the post-match data."
"EDG's lead wasn't that big in the first fifteen minutes, but it suddenly skyrocketed near the 20-minute mark."
"That was when FNC gathered five people to set a trap, but General killed Sivir from the side, then killed Xin Zhao and Braum, and got three kills in a row."
Miller looked at the economic curve and said, "To be honest, if there is no top player to hold General back, General's pressure will be felt by the entire team. Although has good strength, he is still too young. Caps may be able to do this, but he has always been targeted by General and his two teammates."
"Speaking of this, I want to praise General again." Shen Chao said: "Some professional players have strong personal abilities, but always like to fight alone and don't have good coordination with their teammates. In our usual terms, they play very 'alone'. General never minds having teammates help. I have watched all his first-person videos. Even if he has the ability to kill alone, as long as this kill cannot maximize the benefits, General will call his teammates."
"Indeed." Wawa looked at the specific data: "General got a perfect record of 9-0 in this game, and stacked up 25 layers of Book of Death. If he hadn't been pushed down in one wave, he would have been able to get six divine equipment immediately."
"It goes without saying that he was the MVP. This game was completely General's personal show." Miller was very sure: "General tore through FNC's encirclement in a jungle team fight and got a triple kill. He also killed Lissandra instantly in the river and helped the team get the Baron. These were the keys to the victory."
really.
The next scene showed the half-body silhouettes of Ike and Xing Dao.
K/D/A: 9-0-1
Damage percentage: 54.3%
Participation rate: 100%.
Average damage per minute: 619
As an assassin-type hero, he accounts for more than half of the team's output, which means that he can determine the trend of the team battle as long as he takes action.
On the main stage of Busan Sports Arena.
The EDG players left their seats and went to the left side of the stage to shake hands with the FNC players.
The five FNC players all started the "private revenge" mode. When shaking hands with Xing Dao, they either patted his shoulders or beat his chest, using some strength to a certain extent.
but.
Xing Dao didn't suffer any loss either.
Although he definitely couldn't win in a real-person 1v5, Xing Dao temporarily COSed some of Faker's classic moves.
As far as Xing Dao knows, Europeans not only often eat with their hands, but the proportion of washing hands before meals is not high...
the next day.
The game between RNG and JDG begins.
Compared with IG vs. KT and EDG vs. FNC, this game is much less popular.
On the one hand, the gap between the two teams is indeed obvious.
Another aspect is...
It's a civil war anyway .
Win or lose, it’s your own spot.
It doesn’t matter to fans except for RNG and JDG.
The result of the game was not unexpected.
In the JDG team, top laner Zoom, mid laner Toothpaste, support Green Hair and others are indeed too young. Although their operations are good, their experience cannot be compared with the group of old foxes in RNG.
Moreover, after RNG changed the starting jungler from Mala Xiangguo to Karsa, they switched from a reckless style of play to pure operations.
There is no question of whether these two styles of play are superior or inferior.
However, compared to fighting, operations have lower risks and are more suitable for bullying newcomers.
In the first and second games, RNG had a one-sided crushing victory.
In the third game, JDG recovered a game and saved a little face.
In the fourth game, RNG replaced the team with Mala Xiangguo, using top laner Sion, jungler Jarvan IV, mid laner Galio, AD Kaisa, and support Lao Niu. This unreasonable charging system completed the classic UZI three-step plan.
Once UZI had three sets of equipment, a team fight destroyed JDG's resistance.
Coach Hongmi, who saw this scene, sighed helplessly.
There is really no other way.
RNG is not strong in fighting and is forced to transform into operations in order to win, compared to the two monster-level teams EDG and IG.
It is actually not very realistic for LPL teams other than EDG and IG to beat RNG by fighting.
Since then.
The top four spots have been decided.
The matchup schedule has also been determined according to the half-zone.
Left half: EDG vs RNG
Right half: IGvsC9
The four teams will travel to Gwangju Metropolitan City to compete in the semi-finals on October 27-28.
As long as IG can defeat C9, the championship and runner-up of this World Finals will all belong to LPL.
October 27, 4 p.m.
The battle between IG and C9 kicked off at the Gwangju Women's University Universiade Gymnasium.
Before the official match, the commentators and spectators of the North American region still held out a glimmer of hope. After all, the performance of the 'Light of North America' can often be unexpected, and the weak defeating the strong often happens.
This year, C9 first defeated Samsung and then shut out AFs, giving people the feeling that the goddess of victory was standing on their side.
What a pity.
This glimmer of hope was completely shattered in less than two hours.
IG is on full fire.
The first game ended in 18 minutes and 33 seconds.
The second game ended in 23 minutes and 49 seconds.
The third game... tied at 17 minutes and 25 seconds!
Sweep?
Crush?
No!
It's a massacre!
The shy was not much different from Xing Dao in pure offense. He kept beating up C9 top laner Licorice the entire time. When it came to the moment of shaking hands, Licorice had a dazed look on his face and even doubted his life.
In the bottom lane, Sima Laozei and Baolan in his prime suppressed the cross-dressing combination of Sneaky + Zeyzal.
In the middle...
During the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, 'Chicken Master' Rookie bullied Emperor Jian.
The scene can only be described as sad to hear and tears to see.
You know, Rookie, who has been training with General Pawn and his junior Scout for two whole years, is best at laning!
What’s even more interesting is.
The moment the battle between IG and C9 was over.
Everyone outside the LPL region, especially the Koreans, wants to ask this question.
——Don’t you LPL have your own home stadium?!
