Chapter 80: Semi-finals, against ROX!
"Old Chinese……"
Meiko was a little confused: "Aren't they all about treating infertility, hard but not erect, erect but not firm, erect but not hard, etc?"
Talking and talking.
His eyes also swept towards the factory director's lower body.
"Ahem, don't be so blunt." Xing Dao made a gesture to stop him.
"You two little... kids!" The factory manager inexplicably had the urge to transform into the UZI in the dormitory.
8888 exploded again.
It can only be described in two words.
--Comfortable!
"Okay, okay, come over for a meeting. We're going to play against ROX tomorrow, so let's prepare first." Abu called out from the other side.
As the saying goes, sharpen your sword before battle, even if it's not sharp it will shine.
Determining the tactical focus and countermeasures for unexpected situations in advance, as well as changing tactics when advantages and disadvantages appear in each position, will significantly improve actual combat.
besides.
There is another key.
That is……
Should we just bring out the jungle Taliyah and kill ROX by surprise?
"I think it's better to just light it up directly." The factory manager expressed his opinion.
"Yes, let's get one point first." Meiko agreed.
"We are facing the No. 1 seed of LCK and we don't have the strength ." BP coach Maokai also shared this view.
If you lose the first game.
Even if we use the jungle Taliyah trick to recover one point, we will just have to start over from BO3.
Not to mention, Taliyah can only guarantee to take the initiative, but has no 100% certainty of winning the game.
If you lose the first game, you can still make adjustments.
No matter how bright you are when you lose, if you don’t win, your mentality will definitely explode.
As for the dream of beating ROX with a normal lineup first, and then using Taliyah to seal the victory...
Did it.
But I really don’t dare to take the risk on EDG now.
Since both the BP coach and the hero operator, Factory Manager, said so, Abu naturally would not disagree and immediately decided on the lineup for the first game.
After discussing some details, the meeting was adjourned.
Start daily Rank mode.
"Wow, you're already ranked second in the US server?"
While waiting in line, the factory manager was bored and checked his teammates' battle records.
I found that Xing Dao’s victory points had reached 875.
There is only one Challenge with 908 LP.
"Who is the first one?" Meiko was a little curious.
"Faker, you can't even remember his ID?" The factory manager was a little speechless.
"I'm a master ranked 300th, why would I pay attention to him?" Meiko shrugged.
The overall strength of the US server is relatively weak.
It represents a player with strong personal abilities who can easily carry the team on his own.
For those who are more dependent on teammates and are only icing on the cake most of the time but rarely provide timely assistance, the road to gaining points is much more difficult.
Think about it.
Meiko was accompanied by a passerby.
We need to consume and protect at the same time.
You also have to be careful that the AD cannot keep up with the rhythm or rushes forward to die.
Next, fight for vision, analyze the situation, and send attack or retreat signals in advance.
Occasionally, you have to use your body to block skills and die for your teammates.
After working hard for ten minutes, they completed one or two kills in the bottom lane and suppressed the enemy for more than twenty times, just one step away from taking the first blood tower.
Found out that the top laner who was leading by three levels at 5-0 came down with one and a half big items...
Play with your sister!
"It's really not easy to be a support in the US server, but Xing Dao has a chance to get the first place."
The factory manager calculated: "33 points, it's just a matter of two or three clean wins. If I'm a little luckier, I can surpass Faker."
"It doesn't matter." Xing Dao didn't care much.
"What do you mean by indifferent? It really matters!" The factory manager taught by example: "Don't always think that fame doesn't matter when you have the ability. Gold will always shine. This idea is wrong."
"There are many talented street kings, but how many of them are popular through live streaming?"
"What's the point of people in the circle knowing that you are strong?"
"Only when passers-by think you are strong can you turn your strength into profit. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Xing Dao nodded.
"So, after we defeat ROX, we must suppress Faker!" the factory manager encouraged.
"Okay, let's defeat ROX and suppress Faker!" Xing Dao said this and became a little worried: "What if Faker doesn't cooperate?"
"I'll help you hold him down!" the factory manager said without hesitation.
My junior Scout was listening nearby and only understood half of what was said.
I don’t know what I thought of.
Silently moved the gaming chair away from the factory director...
…
October 23rd.
New York.
Madison Square Garden.
A blue and white bus pulled up to the entrance of the venue and a line of young men wearing warm jackets and carrying backpacks with electronic equipment and supplies stepped out.
"I thought it was really a garden, but it turns out to be a gymnasium."
Xing Dao looked at the circular building in front of him.
"The full name should be 'Madison Square Garden', but it's just called the Garden." Abramovich took the lead and walked forward: "Come on, come on, let's go in first. It's too cold outside."
Watching the game in China, the time is 7pm.
But there is a 13- hour time difference between the two sides.
7pm Beijing time is actually 6am New York time.
In addition to the previous preparations and debugging, the contestants need to arrive at least half an hour in advance.
It was a morning in late October, with the temperature only 11 degrees Celsius and the streets filled with a thin mist that made clothes wet. For the EDG members who had just stepped out of the air-conditioned car, the feeling was a little uncomfortable.
He trotted all the way into the door.
Following the staff's instructions, walk along the dedicated passage to the backstage.
I did some warm-up exercises and adjusted my condition.
At this time, the live broadcast screen has already turned to the promotional video recorded before the game.
The camera starts from the most basic corner of the city and gradually moves to the towering clock tower, as if expressing the desire to pierce the sky with a mortal body.
Suddenly it turned around.
On the busy central street, top laner Smeb appeared wearing the ROX team uniform.
The half-raised face looked around and finally stopped at the busy traffic.
Time fast forwards. The factory manager leans against the car window with a focused gaze, as if his attention is attracted by something.
Following the line of sight, I saw the first generation Rat King PraY standing on the overpass with his arms folded, with an inexplicable longing on his face.
Next.
The star players participating in this year's world finals appeared on the screen one by one.
The background also transitions from the guild hall and subway to the Statue of Liberty.
Day to night.
Then into the early morning.
Crossing the last street, the venue for this semi-final comes into view.
The screen switched, and a silver trophy inlaid with sapphires and reflecting the silhouettes of the winning teams of ROX and EDG moved from near to far, and finally stood in the center of the sandbox of Summoner's Rift.
"Summoners, welcome here!"
"Are you ready to enjoy the showdown between the two strongest teams in the region?"
A host wearing a dark brown suit and dyed gray hair walked up to the trophy.
Wait for the cheers to die down.
Start the introduction: "Well, please welcome the top team from the LCK region, ROX Tigers!"
On the big screen hanging in the air, the ROX team's wonderful operations before the semi-finals were first played.
More than ten seconds later.
The spotlight below the screen lights up.
Five main players, one substitute and one coach, a total of seven people appeared on one side of the stage.
