As we all know, playing LOL is just a job

Chapter 130 Is This The End Of Head An?

The scene fell into a brief silence. .
Then I don't know who started first, and the extremely enthusiastic cheers came suddenly.

"Win, win, win!! RNG, cheating!!"

"RNG is cheating!!"

"+1"

"+1"

The deafening shouts immediately made the city extremely noisy, coupled with the flashing neon lights, it made people feel a little dazed.

Amid such cheers, everyone in RNG stood up in unison.

Everyone hammered Xiangguo's shoulder hard: "Fuck, your last kick is amazing."

Lin Xiu rubbed her chin, squinted her eyes and smiled, "I feel like this is the most handsome blind monk I've ever seen."

"???"

Xiangguo, who was still very happy, froze: "What is it called, the best time?? Implying that I was good before??"

Lin Xiu: "???"

What kind of logic is this tower meow?

"Stop first!!"

Seeing that Xiangguo and Lin Xiu were about to start chatting again, Xiaohu beside him decisively interrupted the topic: "You two cheated, but I was the most trashy, brothers took me to lie down so comfortably, so let's go back and beep beep!! !"

Incense Pot: "..."

Lin Xiu: "..."

In this regard, I can only give a thumbs up and make complaints. . .abuse.

. . .

"Although this result does not surprise us, we are still very happy to see this scene."

Miller said happily: "Let us congratulate RNG for successfully defeating Samsung and advancing to the semi-finals!!"

This year's struggle, this non-stop preparation, proved that RNG has lived up to everyone's expectations.

They are still the team that has maintained a very high level of competition since the mid-season.

"This BO5 is very exciting and very strategic."

As a professional player, Rookie applauded while still analyzing: "It can be seen that RNG won the game, relying more on teamwork and mature play."

Whether it's a line change in the first round, or a perfect team battle in the next few rounds, it's handled skillfully.

These things together tell us that RNG is not just a team that can fight, they can also play tricks with you.

At the same time, the most important thing is that after these four games, RNG did not expose anything at all.

Look at what Lin Xiu is playing, top laner Victor and Rambo. .

Wait, this type of legal system is on the list.

If you place 10 ban positions, it is impossible for the opposite side to ban these things.

The puppy on the bottom road is even a small cannon to play to the end, clearly telling you that this is the case, but you have nothing to do.

A victory like this is really a headache for the remaining teams that may become opponents, because they can't see anything at all.

Of course, apart from the celebration on RNG's side, the scene on Samsung's side is very tragic.

The most obvious of these is An Zhangmen.

He looked at the screen in front of him, with the flashing red light and the word failure, his vision was slowly blurred, and the glasses were covered with fog.

Yes, he cried. . .

This married man, as a seasoned professional player, looked at the stage and the machine in front of him, and shed tears of unwillingness.

"team leader.."

Everyone in Samsung, their eyes were also red, they looked at Mr. An silently, wanting to comfort them, but they didn't know where to start.

They all knew that it was hard to lose the victory in the quarter-finals, but the crux of the problem was not here.

Because, this is the last dream-chasing trip of Head An.

Already 25 years old, he has been fighting since s2 for 6 years.

It stands to reason that it is a miracle that e-sports players at this age are still fighting on the field.

Looking back at his career, he started as a mid laner and was almost retired by Tianjiao Li.

Then he made a strong transformation into the jungle, and led his team to the finals twice.

This veteran has really been playing for too long, and by next year, he will know very well that he is too old to fight. .

And this year should have been his last rightful journey.

All he has to do is to try his best to finish the World Championship, let his veteran journey come to an end, and finally retire.

Unfortunately, this end.

It's a bit hasty to come, and it's very hasty.

After shaking hands with everyone in RNG very casually, or after Mr. An didn't know what attitude to use to face his opponent, he sat down slowly and slowly packed up his saluting equipment .

Even if you never give up in your heart, looking back, it's all gone.

The winner has already cheered, and the loser will eventually leave.

This is e-sports, and it is the law of all sports.

All we can do is to keep rushing and defeat all the opponents standing in front of us.

The so-called one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up.

When people look up at the pinnacle of the throne, who will notice the white bones under the throne?

Others are better than you, you deserve to be eliminated.

If you want to win, don't talk about luck, because that kind of thing will only favor a team that is well prepared.

But for the LPL audience, RNG's victory certainly started a good start, but it also brought new anxiety.

This RNG is winning.

How about the next game? ?

Next.

TSM vs LZ, SKT vs FNC, WE vs EDG,

The first two groups, to be honest, looking at the toughness and level of LCK's third seed, it's really not LPL's arrogance.

In this version where operation and style of play are very important, Europe and the United States really can't beat it.

So basically there is no suspense.

Then the key question is in the last BO5, EDG vs. WE. .

RNG managed to get off to a perfect start, but the fans of LPL have to endure the torment of the civil war.

"I can only be here, silently wishing LPL can continue to go on, and better work hard."

As for the next game, everything seems to be continuing as everyone imagined. .
Dragon Ball vs TSM.

Although TSM's Dafa is indeed very good, even the whole audience is shouting for TSM. . .

but. . .In the face of absolute strength, Guangxiu has a hammer. Do you believe that Dragon Ball can really kill you? ?
So easily, Dragon Ball won 3-0.

Not to mention SKT vs. FNC.

FNC also knows very well that he came in from the knockout round, but in terms of hard power, he is only the third seed this year.

Facing the mighty SKT, what can they do? ?
The only thing we can do is try our best not to lose too badly, but unfortunately the final result is still a dismal 3-0.

Then, after the results of the first two matches came out without any suspense, everyone knew that the next most anticipated match was coming.

This belongs to the civil war of the LPL.

EDG vs WE.

"Hey..."

In the audience, in RNG's temporary training base, Xiangguo looked at the big screen with a tangled look: "Although I'm very upset, who do you think will win??"

Everyone in RNG shook their heads.

Speaking of which, EDG and WE have not officially played against each other since they got off the plane. It is hard to say which one is stronger or weaker.

And there are different opinions about who has the greater advantage in this game.

Some people are optimistic about EDG, among other things, the second seed is the most direct manifestation of strength.

Then there are also people who are optimistic about WE, because WE's grouping is very miserable, but that kind of WE defeated the strong opponents G2 and Samsung, and finally qualified first in the group.

This shows that WE is in a good state now.

In addition, there are so many fans of the two teams, so the scene became entangled, and there was a feeling of watching the LPL playoffs.

On this day, RNG also temporarily put down the training at hand and chose to silently watch the match between the two brother teams.

Not for anything else, but this scene is really worrying.

This year's LPL is the best year, there are no disputes between teams, players and fans are united as one.

At the same time, it is precisely because of the mutual running-in training between each team that the three teams of the LPL maintain a very hot feeling.

But now, they are about to kill each other.

"By the way, Lang, what do you think?"

The incense pot at the side thought about it and decided to ask Lin Xiu.

"what??"

Lin Xiu, who was still enjoying the milk tea silently, was stunned: "Why do you ask me, shouldn't you ask a professional about this?"

With that said, Lin Xiu gave Feng Ge beside him a look.

Just kidding, predicting the game must be handed over to the coach. .

However, Xiangguo shook his head and said very firmly: "Brother Feng's words may be right, but your mouth should be more sensitive, after all, you are a consecrated mouth!!"

Lin Xiu: "???"

Not only that, but the other RNG people on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Brother Prodigal's open mouth, I really admire it."

"One thing to say, this time I stand in the incense pot..."

emmmm
Lin Xiu's face turned black: "You guys, you have to believe in science..."

Everyone in RNG: Hehe. . .

"It's okay to talk about it."

Brother Feng on the side forced himself not to laugh, and then said slowly: "I'm also curious, who do you like more."

Others don't know this, but Brother Feng knows it very well.

Lin Xiu's eyes are too poisonous.

The so-called open mouth, to put it bluntly, is the precise control of the situation and the macro. This ability is quite rare among professional players.

Because of it, it means that Li can not only be an excellent player, but also a core with strong strategic significance.

"All right.."

Lin Xiu slowly put down the milk tea cup in her hand.

Speaking of which, this thing was kindly sponsored by Cheng Xiaoyi ╮(╯_╰)╭

"If you really want to say who I am more optimistic about."

Lin Xiu looked at the two teams that were already preparing for BP on the big screen, and said softly, "Then I will definitely choose WE."

"Huh? Why?"

Brother Feng was a little curious: "It is reasonable to say that EDG has a stronger background, and most people are more optimistic about EDG. Your point of view is a bit..."

In this regard, Lin Xiu just shook his head.

It is true that compared to the glorious history of the team, WE is indeed worse than EDG.

After all, EDG was once the well-deserved overlord in the country. 1
"However, there is a very simple reason for this—team integration."

The WE team is not easy.

Experienced restructuring, disillusionment.

It was also overturned one step away from the world stage.

Even after going through so many ups and downs, WE's most powerful lineup, which is the current five-member team, has been preserved intact.

So after so many years of tempering and integration, the current WE may not be the best in every point of individual strength, but the team linkage and running-in are definitely at the top level in the world.

Compared with last year, they are only stronger but not weaker.

In contrast to EDG, it is difficult to achieve this step.

What is EDG this year?
It is a team composed of a group of young people of the new generation, young and full of drive.

But don't forget that this year's EDG is more about inheriting the glory of the past. He is really not as good as when he was at his peak last year.

Or, once EDG.

The EDG that was dominant in the mid-season game during the S5 period will never come back after all.

Like when RNG played against EDG, it was absolutely necessary to play a full BO5, but now it is EDG who has been beaten violently.

This kind of strength gap that others can't see, but actually exists.

Without Fat General and Mr. Dai, the upper limit of EDG is now very high, while the lower limit is also very low.

Then in such a version where the laning requirements are not so prominent and the operation is focused on, there is really no reason not to give WE confidence.

Therefore, according to Lin Xiu's prediction, WE can be said to have a high winning rate.

"Of course, this is just speculation."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiu touched her nose: "No one knows what it will be in the end."

Just kidding, in case I tm wrong, you guys have to call me poisonous.

If I am right, I will continue to believe in superstition. .

Anyway, it's hard to be a human being. .

However, these two teams, nine out of ten are going to play a full BO5.

After all, these two teams still know each other too well.

Then, amidst the various speculations of the crowd, and various entanglements at the scene. .
This long-awaited LPL civil war has officially started.

For the LPL, including the rest of the competition, this event is of great significance, because the winner will undoubtedly enter the semi-finals.

It's different from RNG playing Samsung, the almost nemesis-like style of play.

It is conceivable that the confrontation between these two teams will inevitably play a lot of LPL characteristics.

Then this allows everyone in the LCK to better face the LPL team in the semifinals.

As for the game process, it was quite tragic. .

In the first game, EDG mainly played in the middle field and won strongly.

In the second round, WE went crazy with 4 packs and 2, pulling back a round.

In the third game, EDG also played 4 packs and 2, mainly playing the bottom lane, and won two match points.

In the fourth game, WE was at a disadvantage in the early stage, but struggled to hold on, and finally found a chance to comeback in 50 minutes and tied the score.

Game five, the final tiebreaker. WE got the team battle lineup that they are best at. In the first 30 minutes of being inferior, two waves of team battles settled the situation and won the game.

Therefore, the result of WE's game against EDG was finally 3 to 2.

WE won. . .

They made it to the semi-finals.

It is impossible to describe the mood of WE fans at that moment.

Many of them may not have thought that WE could get to this point.

Because to be honest, everyone's expectation for WE is to reach the top eight, so there is no shame in saying this.

But they actually defeated lpl's well-deserved second seed, EDG? ?
Anyway, believe it or not, that's the truth.

Then all the major forums fell into heated discussions.

Fortunately, the fans of both sides, as well as the teams of both sides, are more rational.

Although I have regrets,

At the same time, in RNG's training base, everyone looked at Lin Xiu with strange expressions. . .

"Ahem, see, this is called vision..."

Lin Xiu glanced at the crowd indiscriminately: "Of course, I admit that I have the element of gambling..."

bet? ?

God tm's bet. .

"Really, it's not bad at all??"

We win. .

Play a full BO5. .

Sure enough, the man in front of him was terrifying. .

Everyone thought to themselves, let Lin Xiu cheer for RNG for half an hour before the next game.

So with the addition of various metaphysics, isn't RNG invincible? ?

Of course, this kind of thing is just a matter of thinking. It is impossible for everyone to let Lin Xiu, a bastard, cheer and shout.

Because once Lin Xiu is missing from this RNG, it always feels like something very important is missing.

"Then the next step is the very exciting semi-final."

Regardless of the disappointment and frustration of everyone in EDG, and the undiminished enthusiasm of everyone in WE, everyone knows very well that this quarter-finals is actually just a stepping stone.

What comes next is what is more exciting and exciting.

That is, the semifinals.

There is no need to draw lots in the semi-finals, and the opponents of the two sides are mainly based on the half area they are in.

That is, Group A versus Group B, and Group C versus Group D.

So in such a grouping situation, the opponents of the LPL have already been determined.

first game.

RNG vs Dragon Ball.

Second game.

SKT vs WE.

It can be said that looking at this group, the feelings of audiences all over the world are beyond words.

For the LPL side. .

"This is probably our best performance on paper since S3."

In the semi-finals, the LPL actually occupied two spots.

You must know that in the past, it was basically an LCK battle. Even if there was an LPL player coming in, it was basically the only seedling.

Now, have times changed?

From LCK dominating the world, it will eventually move towards the LCK and LPL two major competitions.

Regarding the upcoming semifinals, I don't know what the mood of the LCS and EU audience is at the moment.

As for the venue of this semi-final match, it is also very interesting.

Everyone, go home.

Shanghai will be the venue for the semi-finals.

It is a very good thing for LPL spectators and LPL players, because it is not only a home game, but also a key hometown game.

Such a sense of familiarity will bring great comfort to the players.

"Of course, the preparation time for the next week will be particularly important."

Almost all the teams that entered the semi-finals understood this truth very well.

In the following week, no accident, there will be two major competition areas, and each competition area will hold together to keep warm.

RNG has to train with WE.

For SKT, we have to train with LZ.

There is only one thing they have to do and can do at this time.

It is to repeatedly study the videos of the major teams' matches some time ago, and find out the corresponding style of play and countermeasures.

In this way, they will be able to appear handy until the next game.

In fact, there is no need to say more about LPL. They have done too much research on LCK and are too thorough.

On the contrary, on the night when the semifinals were announced, the only two remaining teams on the LCK side, including the coaches of Samsung, had a very heated discussion together.

that night. .

In SKT's temporary training base.

At this time, the atmosphere of the base was quite dignified. . .

The Dragon Ball coach said in a deep voice: "Although I really don't want to admit it, we must say that this year's LPL poses a great threat to us."

That kind of operation is different from LCK, and it is also different from LPL's pure reckless style.

Very personal, almost impossible to imitate the style of play, has successfully begun to threaten the LCK operation style.

It is precisely for this reason that everyone needs to share their experiences with each other.

After all, this is no longer a question of whether the clubs win or not. This is likely to be a discussion about the future of LOL.

After all, LOL is a business game.

Also talk about, it itself is the existence of diversity? ?
In the past, LCK used results to prove its strong operations. Now, can LPL also prove that there is nothing wrong with its style of play? ?

All of this depends on who can win this year's competition.

"For WE, I think their style of play is very interesting."

At this time, the coach of Samsung agrees with the words of coach Komma.

He is very upset now, but he still evaluates seriously.

"As players in the same group, although I dare say that we are definitely higher than them in hard power."

"But the resilience of this team..."

Samsung's coach paused, his face serious: "It's scary..."
