You are number one in the world, do you have to be obsessed with the whole job?

Chapter 246 Gwangju, here we come 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

The storm of RNG being eliminated by G2 is still going on.

But EDG has no mind to pay attention to these.

They have now successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

The only thing to do at this moment is to predict your imaginary opponent in the semifinals, conduct targeted training and do BP.

After the semi-finals really start, they can play the most perfect state.

Xu Cheng is the key target of the EDG team. Based on Xu Cheng's style of play, the team has made several sets of backup tactics.

this evening.

After staying up until early in the morning, EDG's training mission was considered over.

The crowd was hungry, and Ming Kai warmly ordered takeaway.

Bang bang bang.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?"

Everyone in EDG was a little surprised.

It's so late, is there anyone still awake?

"Did the takeaway arrive so quickly?"

Meiko was a little confused.

Ming Kai just ordered takeaway, so it's here so soon?
"it's me!"

A somewhat familiar female voice sounded.

Everyone in EDG was startled, and then looked at Xu Cheng with strange expressions.

Meiko teased, "Oh, it's been so long!"

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect Orange to have such charm."

"One thing to say, if my girlfriend can wait so long while I'm training, I'm really crying to death."

After Ming Kai retired, he also let himself go more and more.

It even made me cry to death.

"Moved."

"I'm really touched, it's unreasonable not to marry someone..."

Facing the crazy ridicule of his teammates, Xu Cheng rolled his eyes.

Did not care about this group of B.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

"Okay, hey..."

The door was pushed open, and Rita in a dress sneaked in stealthily.

Two hands are still carrying two large packages of takeaway.

"I guessed that you guys would be hungry after training so late, so I brought you five spicy pots."

Rita put the bag on the table and said with a smile.

"Huh? Five copies?" Xiangguo's eyes widened.

"Oh, this is too polite!"

Meiko let out a cry of surprise.

Obviously did not expect that their group of bachelors also had a share.

Ming Kai looked depressed.

If I had known earlier, he would not order takeaway.

As for the money for ordering takeout, he paid for it privately!

waste!

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Tian Ye understood the ways of the world, and after shouting, he was very sensible and stepped forward to help, and shouted sweetly along the way.

"Oh, don't call me sister-in-law, I'm not your sister-in-law."

Rita was embarrassed.

"Yeah, don't bark."

Xu Cheng came out to verify.

?

Rita glanced at Xu Cheng, smiled and said nothing.

"I said brother, it's a pity not to marry such a good girlfriend."

As someone who came here, Ming Kai was eating a delicious spicy pot, um...

It's delicious, and I don't know why, but he really likes spicy hotpot.

Then he educated Xu Cheng in an old-fashioned way.

The incense pot on the side was trembling inexplicably.

"This daughter-in-law, it's good to love someone, unlike your sister-in-law, look, when did she do this for me?"

"...!"

Xu Cheng was speechless.

"Eating can't stop your mouth."

"Oh, you mean what you said, and if you add a few more copies, you won't be able to stop it!"

Ming Kai bared his teeth.

Xu Cheng simply ignored him.

After eating, he and Rita went out and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Um……"

Rita is a little embarrassed.

In fact, outsiders are just joking, she knows it, and for now, she and Xu Cheng are still at the stage of good friends.

"There's something really wrong."

Xu Cheng had guessed it a long time ago: "Just talk about it if you have something to say, we are not outsiders anyway."

"Who is no stranger to you."

Rita retorted flatteredly, and then said:

"Actually nothing."

"That's right... My company here wants to set up a media account, and everyone asks you for help... Do you think you have time?"

Xu Cheng asked suspiciously, "The media? What media?"

"It's an e-sports account of our company, and I want to do an interview."

Rita was very embarrassed.

Now Xu Cheng understood.

It seems that Rita's brokerage company has taken a fancy to her popularity and popularity, and wants to borrow the relationship between Rita and herself for a while.

after all.

Now EDG has been confirmed to advance to the semi-finals.

And the most popular saying nowadays is——

KT is gone, who else can stop EDG?

By default, there are not a few EDG who can defend the double crown.

despite this…

When Rita said that, Xu Cheng was a little surprised.

Default to default, forecast to forecast.

Now EDG has not really won the championship.

Come here so early.

have to say…

Rita's agency is quite discerning...

Of course.

Interviewing this kind of thing, if this one does not agree, that one will agree.

It doesn't matter.

He was just a little surprised.

Rita is so polite to you?

"It's not like you, you make it difficult for me."

Xu Cheng looked sideways at Rita.

"I don't... feel bad."

Rita is also very real: "Many people have said now that I have been chasing your popularity. The company first proposed, but I refused, but after thinking about it... I agreed."

The meaning of the ellipsis is probably thinking of her ambiguous relationship with Xu Cheng.

In Rita's heart, although the two are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet, there is no doubt that both parties have a crush on each other.

In this case.

In such a trivial matter, it seems that there is no need to avoid suspicion too much.

Sure enough, Xu Cheng smiled and said, "It's a big deal, but a small one, don't worry, take care of me."

"Well...that's it, by the way, the next game...come on."

Rita also knew that Xu Cheng was very busy recently, so she didn't dare to delay his time too much, and wanted to leave in a hurry after leaving a word.

"Come on, that's for sure... Wait, don't leave yet."

Xu Cheng called the other party to stop, and turned around and took a gift box to it: "I don't need the little holiday benefits from our club, so you can take it."

"Thank you."

Rita took it, blinking her eyes and saying nothing.

"Uh…?"

Xu Cheng waited for a while, then asked in surprise, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"...Is that all you want to say?"

Rita was out of breath.

"Well... Let's have dinner together later... After the game, you can find a place, and I'll treat you."

"A word is settled!"

Without waiting for Xu Cheng's response, Rita happily turned and left.

"...Why do you feel like I've been tricked?"

Xu Cheng stood there thinking for a moment before turning back to the hotel.

Next, he has to go all out to prepare for the next game...

After all, EDG's goal is the double crown.

If there is a problem because of this link, then Xu Cheng himself will not let himself go.

……

Silent all night.

The next day.

IG vs. AFS.

This is another heavyweight match.

Because IG is also a team belonging to the LPL division.

So far, the attention and enthusiasm for all the matches of the teams in the LPL division has always remained high.

It can also be seen from this that how well LPL is developing now.

At least in terms of audiences, the number of Chinese audiences accounts for half of the world, which is not too much.

The day.

A group of people from EDG also specially came to the scene to cheer for their brother team IG.

The relationship between EDG and the IG team has always been good.

This is mainly due to the fact that before S7, both teams had a common enemy - RNG.

I won't say much about fans' private affairs.

In short, due to various reasons, the two teams were properly brother teams before S7.

As for after S7...

Who would have thought that EDG, who had repeatedly stretched their hips in the World Championship, would suddenly take off?

So caught off guard, and so sudden and fast.

It made IG look dumbfounded.

We agreed to be younger brothers together, but why did you suddenly fly away?
Referee, report, someone cheated here!
The relationship between the two is good. The reason why everyone from EDG came here today is actually more because of the fact that RNG was eliminated yesterday.

RNG was eliminated, and the only teams in the LPL division on the S8 stage this year are IG and EDG.

After a night of fermentation last night, the influence of RNG losing the game and being eliminated has become greater and greater.

The pressure of public opinion from the outside world is also as heavy as a mountain.

Both EDG and IG felt the pressure on them.

Therefore, coming to cheer for IG today is actually showing an attitude.

Let's go to the end together!
By the way, let's also study the African team that has been hailed as the rising star of the LCK this year.

If IG loses today, the African team will undoubtedly become another stumbling block on the way for EDG to win the championship.

Thoroughly studying the opponent's style and tactics is one of the most important tasks that EDG needs to do at present.

"AFS has been strong this season."

While waiting for the opening game, Meiko couldn't help but said: "This year their record in the LCK is magnificent."

"Actually, to be honest, IG is also quite strong this year."

Da Ye Xiangguo said: "Their style... feels quite similar to ours."

"That's true."

The crowd nodded.

S8's IG, despite being suppressed by EDG within a year.

But even this kind of suppression cannot completely cover up their light.

Mainly this year's IG, after the new AD Ah Shui played, it seemed to form a complete body.

The strength and state completely exploded.

I don't have the feeling of being a younger brother in the LPL at all.

In terms of sharpness, RNG is even inferior to them.

Only EDG, which is very likely to defend the double crown, can suppress them.

"IG is really strong this year, and we can really look forward to it."

Ming Kai nodded beside him: "I've been studying their styles and habits for a long time, everyone, don't worry, even if we do meet, our odds of winning are very high..."

???

Everyone looked at the factory manager with admiration.

really.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Worthy of being the ancestor of Seven.

No one can compare to him in studying his own people!
"Okay, let's start!"

Just now.

Someone reminded me.

The crowd looked up.

Today's first BO5 match, which was watched by hundreds of millions of people, also kicked off the prelude.

In the first game, IG showed its strong side.

None of the three lines are weak against the line, and the rhythm of the jungler King Ning is also very smooth.

This good start went much smoother than expected.

When IG was sure that he won the first game of the day.

Whether it was outside or inside the court, extremely terrifying cheers erupted.

Everyone is applauding this once unknown team.

Before that, IG was indeed considered a nobody.

After all, in the S game, all the audience were very strange to them.

This is not to say that IG has no experience in participating in the S game.

In the year of S5, they did participate.

But it was the black spot of being out in the top [-] and surrendering, and it is still often dissed by black fans.

In this atmosphere and mood.

The second game starts soon.

However, in this game, IG didn't seem to be able to maintain that momentum.

After the first game, AFS accurately found the weakness of IG——

Young, daring to fight, and easy to get on top!
It's easy to handle.

The overall style is biased towards the conservative and operational AFS, and I like to play this kind of top team the most.

In this game, they mainly aimed at the weakest bot lane among the three lines of IG.

From the very beginning, it had an unexpected effect.

The effect is surprisingly good.

It also caught IG by surprise.

About 10 minutes into the game, the game ended and AFS pulled back a victory.

The two sides drew 1/1.

It's game three.

The atmosphere inside and outside the arena has been pulled to its fullest.

It was also under such circumstances that IG withstood the pressure, united as one, and won AFS again amidst the high expectations.

With a score of 2/1, leading AFS.

Moreover, they are only one point away from eliminating AFS and advancing to the semi-finals of the 2018 Global Finals!
Meet the semi-finals with the brother team EDG!
"Huh... IG, you should be able to win, right?"

In this situation, everyone in EDG couldn't help but take a deep breath.

After IG2/1AFS.

Everyone including EDG, the countless LPL viewers and commentators, were all a little excited.

If IG really defeats AFS, then the LPL division will really meet again in the semi-finals!

This is another meeting after S7.

The difference is that last time it was RNG.

And this time...

But it became IG.

Things are changing and people are changing, and it is no longer what it used to be.

But in any case, IG is also a team in the LPL division.

Even compared to RNG, their experience is more legendary and inspirational.

From the third seed in the LPL division to the top four in the world...

Coming to this point is enough to make IG proud.

Everyone was excited, and the game on the field did not stop.

Perhaps it was the expectation of everyone.

This time IG, the reborn IG from Nirvana, did not disappoint the LPL division.

The fourth game, the tiebreaker.

IG still maintains its own terrifying state, the three lines are all excellent, and the jungler King Ning's rhythm is flying.

Pushed all the way.

The game time finally stayed at 24 minutes.

IG flattened the crystal base of AFS.

Won the final victory in today's billion-dollar semi-final!
Successfully advanced to the semi-finals!

With the brother team, big brother EDG, successfully joined the semi-finals!

on site.

Everyone in IG hugged each other excitedly, each member's face was filled with unbelievable and extreme excitement.

They have never been just background boards, little people.

When did I think that one day, I could also stand on this radiant stage.

up to now...

offstage.

Everyone in EDG was also swaying in their hearts, happy and cautious.

Of course, the happy thing is the promotion of the brother team IG.

As a brother team, seeing IG come to this point, they are somewhat proud of being the big brother.

Therein lies the worry.

IG in this state...

If the finals really meet.

Can they beat each other 100%?
"No matter who wins, it will be the LPL division championship."

Meiko said: "And think about that scene... Two teams from the LPL division, fighting civilly on the final stage of the global finals... My God, this scene is not in my dreams!"

"One thing to say, indeed, novels are not written like this anymore."

Xiangguo nodded.

The rest of the people were also overwhelmed by Meiko's words.

once Upon a time.

How humble is the LPL division?

In the era of LCK dominance, LPL is really brutal like being beaten by a machine.

And now...

To the S8.

The LPL division finally began to show its edge.

The civil war in the finals, I ask you if you dare to think about it!
Bibo burning!
"Ahem, well, it's time to congratulate IG. Besides, we... also need to strengthen our training, so we can't overturn on our side."

Ming Kai coughed lightly.

In the ultimate honor of the brother team and the second defending double champion in history...

The factory manager decisively chose the latter.

Ok.

It's so real.

The temptation and attraction of the double crown is too great.

It is so big that no professional player or professional team can ignore it and remain indifferent!

SKT has reached the most peak, which team does not want to achieve?
I'm sorry bro, stop me from being the Double Crown King, and that's it!

Everyone in EDG cleared up their mood.

I ran to the backstage to congratulate everyone on IG who had just won the game.

In the end, I didn't stay much, and went straight back to the hotel.

Prepare for the upcoming semi-finals.

……

The last day.

FNC upset Samsung.

This is a BO5 that fans in the LPL division don't pay much attention to.

But it still has won great attention and enthusiasm overseas.

This is the end.

The S8 top four places are officially settled.

They are:
EDG played against G2.

IG vs. FNC.

The determination of the top four teams also indicates that the global audience is most looking forward to, and it is also the most intense and bloody semi-final.

It's finally time to start.

On this day, everyone from EDG arrived at the venue for the semi-finals of the 2018 Global Finals——

South Korea, Gwangju.

　Adjust the detailed outline, update it today, make it up tomorrow, brothers forgive me
