Before the finals were eliminated, in fact, this year's MLG team has always been a team that is very optimistic about the outside world.
In this year's professional league in the LCS European division, this team suddenly made a blockbuster, and abruptly defeated the Legend team, which had dominated Europe's strongest name for several years, and won the first seed in the division.
Following the group stage of the world finals, they also ranked first in the group and advanced to the qualifying stage.
The outside world has even vaguely believed that Spoon, the single captain of the MLG team, may have caught up with Phoenix, the first European king, or at least reached the peak of the realm of the seven kings, and his real strength is not far from the four emperors.
But unfortunately, this team, which has been highly regarded by the outside world and by countless European players and fans, encountered God in the knockout stage of the quarterfinals of the finals, and was directly eliminated without any wiggle room. out.
However, at this point, although it was a heavy blow to the players of the MLG team, the only thing they should be thankful for is that at least their elimination did not make the entire European LCS region lose hope.
The Legend team still survived.
It has become the last flag of their European division, and it can also represent all European players and fans to continue to fight in the finals.
As for the semi-finals of the semi-finals, when they learned that Legend was about to meet God, it certainly made countless European players and fans a little nervous and worried, but the members of the MLG team were not so pessimistic.
Yes.
They were indeed defeated by God in the quarterfinals.
But in the same way, the BO5 matchup in the quarter-finals also allowed them to see the true strength of God-Hand of God, plus their own familiarity with Legend, an old rival in the same region, and they were able to come up with an advantage. A somewhat reassuring conclusion—
This year's God is strong, but the Legend team is also not a vegetarian. When the two top players meet, whoever will die will really need to be on the field to see their abilities.
Even Spoon, the captain of MLG, thinks so.
Even in the first two games of today's BO5, Legend has lost one after another and was directly forced into the match point battle, but before the third game really starts, Spoon still believes that the Legend team under the leadership of Phoenix still has a comeback. Opportunity and hope for victory.
The first two games were definitely lost.
But Legend has only lost by a margin, and even God's winning is a certain element of luck.
but-
In the fourth minute of the third match of BO5, when the notification of a bloody kill came from the middle, Spoon's eyelids jumped uncontrollably in the training room of the MLG base.
In the seventh minute of the game time, the blue Fang Zhongye joined forces with Shuangyou to invade the lower half of the Legend team, and the ice girl successfully intercepted the purple Fang who had flashed over the wall. —
The mood of the single captain of the MLG team in front of the electronic screen watching the game in the training room has suddenly sunk to the bottom.
Because of this moment.
He finally found something.
A few... truths that completely dissipated all his faith in Legend and Phoenix.
Less than ten minutes into the game, the future guardian of the purple side of the mid lane, Jayce, lost his push right.
It doesn't sound like a big deal.
But as long as they are professional mid laners who have reached a certain level, if they think about it carefully, they will suddenly feel a shudder.
Because this is Jace-
Even if he lost a head in the early laning stage and let the opposing Ice Girl get the first blood for a solo kill, the rhythm dominance of the laning should still be in Jayce's hands, but now even the push power has been lost. It means that Jess has been completely suppressed to a point where he is unable to resist in the early stage, and even his own wild area is incapable of withdrawing to support or block it.
A Jess was suppressed to such an extent that it was basically a bit of a breakdown.
Often this kind of thing only occurs when there is a clear gap between the personal strengths of the mid laners on both sides.
But right now...
It was Phoenix who controlled Jace.
Staring at the OB screen on the electronic spectator screen in front of him, the pupils of his eyes reflected the figure of Lissandra, the single ice girl in the blue square, and the shocking emotion in Spoon's heart was like a tide.
This guy…
Compared to the quarter-finals a few days ago, did you hide your true strength
Or, in just a few short days, he actually became stronger!
…
After two waves of rhythm, the situation on the scene seems to be tilting slightly towards the God team on the blue side.
The Legend team on the purple side seems to be restrained everywhere, constantly falling into passive.
But the situation remains relatively stalemate.
until-
Game time 10 minutes and 25 seconds.
In the middle of Summoner's Canyon, another killing announcement by the female voice of the system resounded across the map again.
"Killing-Spree (a hero has been killed)!"
In the purple square, Jace's body collapsed.
The ice girl Lissandra's figure stood calmly and calmly on the middle route.
Solo kill.
Another solo kill.
The entire competition venue shook, and several official European and American commentators exclaimed in disbelief from the commentary platform, as well as the ecstatic cheers and cheers of several national service commentators in China.
In the competition room of the blue-sided God team on the stage, Dawn Morning Star in front of the computer screen remained calm, but the flames in the depths of his pupils were burning with palpitations.
In the competition room of the Legend team opposite, Phoenix in the mid laner seat stared at the game screen that turned into a black and white TV in front of him, and his face finally changed.
Even if it was a series of defeats in the first two rounds, even if it was a critical moment when the opponent was forcibly stealing the house at the last minute, even if it was forced into the match point—
The first French king in Europe has always maintained that calm and calm mentality.
until this moment.
A look of shock finally flashed across his face.
because…
He saw it too.
…
North America, Season's club training base.
Autumn, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly laughed at this moment.
Originally, according to his estimation and judgment, this group's BO5 match should be a confrontation with a good chance of winning, but now such a situation seems to have slapped him in the face unceremoniously, but the support at this moment The god seemed not to care at all, and the smile on his face even revealed that he was rarely so relaxed and happy.
Because he suddenly thought that his team was defeated by SSK in the quarterfinals.
Skills are not as good as people, naturally can only recognize.
But now it seems-
Maybe wait until this year's final battle arena, someone may really do it for them to avenge their Season revenge.
inside the competition arena.
In the front row of the audience, the expressions of everyone in the SSK club became more and more serious and even ugly.
Ray was gasping for breath and didn't even know how to comment.
Park Chanyeol's expression became a little dark and incomprehensible.
He turned his head to look at Han Shihao next to him again, and for the first time his tone took on a bit of awe:
"I admit that your judgment is correct."
"So-"
"You should hurry up."
