The quarter-finals of the S series global finals adopt the best-of-five system, that is, the best of five sets; the quarter-finals will officially start on October 17, four days after the end of the group stage, and the game will be held in Chicago.
Among the top eight places, there are three LPL teams and three LCK teams, as well as C team from Taiwan LMS and G4, the only European LCS team. Generally speaking, this kind of qualifying situation makes the audience in Europe and North America very excited. Despair - First of all, the audience in the European division did not think that G4 would be the opponent of the CK team; then the audience in the North American division disbanded directly after the group stage, and each went to the dwarf to choose their favorite team from other divisions to support , chatting with consolation to support the S series schedule with more than half a month left... Otherwise, what can be done, after all, they are also very desperate.
The evening of October 13th.
After the game, they took the luggage that the staff helped to pack and flew to the airport—the event organizer had already prepared the training ground and hotel in Chicago for the quarter-finalists, so they met at the airport. Team CK and teammates from Team YQCB; as soon as I looked up after the security check, I saw Tat, the mid laner of the TAT team, standing not far from the security check, with a paralyzed face to the other teammates; the mid laner of the OP team, Jin Yuguang, was also beside him, saying with a smile What... The two of them seemed to sense the gaze on them, raised their heads to see Lu Sicheng, and both nodded politely from a distance - A-tai still bowed, after all, when Lu Sicheng was still TAT and chessman, he was his senior.
After the nursery rhyme went through the security check, she walked up and saw her two biggest nemesis in the current S series were chatting harmoniously with her captain, pulling the sleeves of the man behind him and asking, "Why are they here?"
Lu Sicheng tilted his head slightly: "You're not talking nonsense? Or did they swim from San Francisco to Chicago?"
The nursery rhyme said "Oh" and pretended to be calm: "I saw you collaborating with the enemy even after I passed the security check, and I gave you a gentle warning in the form of an inquiry."
With his toes, Lu Sicheng could hear the nursery rhyme being a little nervous about these two mid laners, and the corners of his lips twitched deliberately: "These two people, I can't get through and you can't beat them, so don't care so much... Hey, how do you fight? Human?"
"I still want to kill you." Tong Yao patted the hand on the man's back and pinched it again, "Jin Yuguang, who only played in the quarter-finals, don't encourage others' prestige, then I won't be able to fight... "
"If you really can't beat it, let me carry you." Lu Sicheng smiled and stopped her shoulders, raised his hand and waved lazily to the two top Korean mid laners not far away, "You carry me this. There are so many elderly people, and it's time for me to show you what it means to be 'an old man who has a long-term ambition'..."
The nursery rhyme was half-held in Lu Sicheng's arms, and his breath was full of the smell of cologne mixed with light sweat on the man's body... I have to say that his embrace was firm and warm, which indeed gave an inexplicable sense of security.
Although he put out such a serious sentence as "Old Ji is stubborn, ambition is a thousand miles", he stunned to express an indescribable emotion.
... This is probably the specialty of the rogue.
Nursery rhymes groaned inwardly with a blank face, while hugging the man's waist, trying to enjoy the last peace. At this time, Xiaopang, Lu Yue, Lao K, and Lao Mao also got together with Mingshen. A few days ago, the video of other group games was reviewed... The atmosphere in the team was very serious and tense. At least when he went abroad for the group game, Xiao Chuan was still playing mobile games on his mobile phone before boarding the plane.
For the ZGDX team, the quarter-finals will be the real start of the trip to the World Championship. They must face the Korean operator team with 120,000 spirits - just as the results of the lottery came out, the two divisions The players sighed one after another: It is not an exaggeration to say that the battle between the operators of the two countries is a preview of the finals. This is a real master move.
…
Four days later.
October seventeenth.
The quarter-finals kicked off. On the first day of the competition schedule, only the CK team in the LPL division was arranged to play against the G4 team-although everyone was not optimistic about G4 before the game, but compared to the CK team, G4 was barely a bit of a race. Sexual home field advantage... European LCS or North American LCS is called LCS anyway, right? So on weekdays, no one looks down on the other's Wolidou competition area and unites in an instant. On the day of the game, cheering for G4, the only seedling that represents the two LCS competition areas, cheers loudly!
Nursery Rhymes and the others sat down at the seats arranged by the competition party. The atmosphere on the field was very warm. After a wave of foreigners cheered on G4, the Chinese voices of the CK team were unexpectedly not small. The momentum of the five openings is... To be reasonable, the Chinese have it everywhere.
And the critical moment is also very united to the outside-
This kind of place that needs to shout cheers more than momentum is generally not cold.
The two commentators at the scene seemed a little surprised when they heard the cheering in Chinese. After a moment of silence, one of the commentators couldn't hold back the "chichi" and laughed out loud. I was the home court, but it was embarrassing to find that the Chinese on the scene were not to be outdone.]
Commentary G: [I hope next time we shout cheer a little louder. After all, the ticket sales system can't tell the passport of the ticket buyer, and it's not good to lose momentum on your own territory.]
A big brother heard what Xie said, and shouted "Cheer CK, long live LPL" like a demonstration, so the players entered the field with laughter at the scene - Commentator T: [You know what is the most annoying thing ! The most annoying thing is that they understand everything we are saying here, but we don't understand a single word of what they are saying.]
Commentary G: [Hahahahaha!]
While the two commentators were chatting, the first game went to BAN&PICK, not to mention the CK team playing on stage, and even the nursery rhymes sitting below them were infected by the atmosphere of the scene. In the eyes of people, it should be no problem for CK who can beat the operator team today to beat them, right
The nursery rhyme thought so.
Then the game started.
She found that reality seemed to be different from what she thought—
Originally, the system of the European and North American divisions is not the same as that of the Chinese and Korean divisions. Compared to following the version, they can often come up with strange lineups that go with their swords, such as Amumu, Bomberman, Icebird, Heroes such as Dragon King, Carter, and Yasuo are basically very rare in the official LPL and LCK games, but these foreigners say that they can take it and they are not ambiguous at all—they have no burden in their hearts.
In the face of the CK team that won two Korean operators, G4 was originally a team from the second seed pool. Before the game, the domestic and foreign media were not optimistic. If they lose, they will lose. Although it is regrettable, it is nothing more than that.
In the first game, the G4 team took the double poke lineup of Varus and Jess. Although there was no advantage in the early stage, the speed of stealing the tower took off quickly. The wild area was like a loach. Stealing development... The CK team began to be passive in the mid-term, and the leading economy was gradually tied - and then they began to put two outer towers and two elemental dragons without thinking.
Twenty-five minutes of teamfights, and they were directly beaten in a wave of one-for-three.
After that, G4 made great progress with the high shouts of the commentary and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, and successfully pushed to the high ground of the CK team in 37 minutes of the game. Varus took the CK team AD with three arrows. Withdrawing, the middle single flower was also cut off during the retreating process. Without the double C, I can only watch the big crystal being blown up with regret.
After the first game, the G4 team members who looked at the state of taking off were full of smiles. Compared with the expressionless appearance of the CK team, they took up the water cup and drank water... Nursery rhyme squeezed Lu Sicheng's hand beside him, and suddenly there was a An ominous foreboding.
At this time, the temperature in her palm was probably felt by the people around her. Lu Sicheng pressed her hand back and patted her gently: "Don't panic, it's alright."
