Chapter 139 Quarterfinals(1/2)
When the first day of the quarterfinals ended, there was an uproar on the Internet.
How confident the audience was in LZ's strength before the game, how surprised they were after being defeated by SSG.
Most domestic viewers are optimistic about this result.
In many people's minds, there is still an element of luck in SSG's ability to defeat LZ in the quarterfinals.
For example, Toda did not use the incense burner system in the first game, and the three-star players were in good condition today...
Many people have analyzed this result as beneficial to LPL from various angles.
Even WE fans who were extremely desperate after the draw began to gradually appear in the forum.
"Since EDG can double-kill SKT, then WE, who are also members of the Royal Three, should have no problem winning SKT. However, in the semi-finals, SSG may not be able to maintain the status of the quarter-finals."
"If you think about it this way, WE does have the possibility of advancing to the finals."
Based on this analysis, the finals of this World Championship may even be a civil war between two LPL teams.
The finals of two LPL teams were held in a venue like the Bird's Nest. Just thinking about this situation makes people excited.
…
On October 20th, the match between EDG and MSF is scheduled for today.
Although it is only the quarter-finals, the number of domestic viewers has exceeded 30 million.
There is definitely some moisture in this data, but the moisture may not be very large. After all, EDG is now the top player in LPL.
Perhaps the poor record of S6 made fans a little disappointed, but after the double defeat of SKT in the group stage, many people regained their hope in EDG.
The match was scheduled to start at three o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch, everyone from EDG set off to the competition venue.
There were many fans waiting outside the venue early, and many people came to the game without even eating lunch.
At this time, the LPL may not be doing well, but it has the cutest audience.
"Come on EDG!"
As the bus approached, it was immediately recognized by many fans. Many fans gathered around, waving EDG support items in their hands, while shouting loudly to cheer for their favorite team.
Chen Mo rolled down the window and waved to the crowd.
"Black dog, dry and crushed MSF!"
someone in the crowd shouted.
When Chen Mo heard this, he immediately smiled. He didn't say anything, he just made an OK gesture towards the fan who spoke.
Just as everyone in EDG entered the lounge, MSF players and behind-the-scenes staff also came to the game.
The players began to put on makeup, and the logistics were preparing various things needed for the competition.
The game has not yet started, and many viewers are waiting in the live broadcast room in advance.
Finally, at 2:30, the director suddenly changed the camera.
Before the start of the game, there was a pre-game chat session. Although these MSF players were not favored, I don't know if it was because they were very confident in the black technology they had prepared, so they behaved very arrogantly before the game started.
Jungler Maxlore came up and taunted directly:
"We have been paying attention to EDG's game. Although they successfully defeated SKT in a double victory, I think luck is the main factor. I hope the opposing players pray for the blessing of the goddess of luck before the game starts, otherwise they will go home with failure today.
"
Chen Mo just smiled at this: "Only the weak will make excuses. Today MSF will go back with failure. Maybe on their plane home, they will still sigh that we were lucky today."
MSF top laner Alphari pondered for a moment and continued: "I heard that EDG's arrangement today is to rotate two junglers, but in my opinion, neither of them is Maxlore's opponent, not even the two combined."
"You should thank our coach for not letting me play with one hand on the court."
Chen Mo responded.
As soon as this statement came out, the barrage exploded instantly.
"The black dog is going crazy!"
"I declare that EDG secured the victory in advance during the pre-game chatter session."
"How can we win against the opponent when there is a black dog?"
Compared to Chen Mo, everyone else in EDG is more easy-going when it comes to their dirty talk.
What about "WE is no match for me, are you the loser?", "I have to get off work early today.", "We will take you away at 3:0."...
This kind of talk is too straightforward and gives people a boring feeling.
However, pre-game chatter ultimately only served to adjust the atmosphere before the game. After the video was played, the director switched the camera to the commentary box.
"Hello, dear viewers, welcome to today's game. I am the commentator of this game."
"I am Guan Zeyuan."
"I am PDD."
Like yesterday's game, today's commentary lineup is still two official commentators and one relatively well-known guest.
After saying hello, several people turned to the conversation they had just had before the game.
"Hei Gou is a really interesting player. He is fierce on and off the field. Why didn't you find him so cool before?"
Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.
In his opinion, Chen Mo has all the characteristics of a star player.
He is handsome, his fighting style is quite unique, and his flirty talk is very powerful.
Let’s not talk about the strength. At least the popularity of such a player will not be low. As an industry insider, although I don’t want to admit it, the fact is that the income of the players is not only related to the strength. These star qualities are also related to winning big awards.
The key to the contract.
"It has to be cool. If I were 18 and double-killed SKT on the World Championship stage, I would be even more cool than him."
PDD inexplicably reminded of his past self.
After the two spoke, Qi Huan took back the topic: "Today, the MSF players seemed to be very confident. I passed by their lounge before going on stage. They were talking and laughing, and I didn't feel any pressure.
"
"Is it possible that you are hiding something?"
PDD caught on and told the truth, but Guan Zeyuan next to him immediately retorted: "How is it possible? They were almost eliminated by TSM in the group stage. They really have to hide something so that they won't use it until now."
…
During the commentary and conversation, contestants from both sides took to the stage.
In the first game, Nofe arranged for the factory manager to play. His idea was very simple. No matter whether there was any gap between MSF's strength and the training game, let the more stable factory manager test the waters first.
If it is really easy to win like the training match, let the factory director continue to play. If something unexpected happens, switch to Chen Mo. The advantage of Bo5 is that there is a fault tolerance rate of two games.
The BP of the first game started quickly.
Everyone in EDG acted very relaxedly, talking and laughing on the stage, and they didn't seem to be under much pressure.
Interestingly, the same is true for MSF.
The EDG laugh is understandable, but the MSF laugh is a bit creepy.
Laughing at this time has two meanings, either it means breaking the pot, or it means that you are really confident in the game. Judging from the expressions of the MSF players, it seems like the latter.
In the first game, because EDG ranked first in the group, they had priority in selecting sides.
Nofe chose the blue square.
EDG's first three ban positions were Clockwork, Feng Nu, and Xia.
MSF's first three moves sent Skateboard Shoes, Lulu, and Luo to the ban position.
In this case, there were not many supports to choose from. After thinking about it for a while, Nofe decided to grab the support first and lock the gem directly.
It's MSF's turn.
Still choose the bottom lane combination, Karma and Xiaopao.
Until this moment, the audience and the commentator still thought it was normal, but Chen Mo in the lounge was a little surprised.
According to memory, MSF was supposed to come up with their own showy tricks in the second game. Unexpectedly, in today's game, they came up with a big move.
If I guess correctly, Karma should be the mid laner in this hand.
Yesterday's game between LZ and SSG proved that in the current version, the incense burner system is the final answer.
The MSF coach's idea is stupid. The incense burner is indeed very important, but who said that it is necessary to assist in producing the incense burner?
Mid lane, the same can be done!
Regardless of certain lineups, this idea is truly genius.
If nothing else, MSF’s real support will choose the hero Robot.
First of all, it is not easy for soft assistants and ADCs to fight against the robot hero in the bottom lane. As long as the hit rate of the Q skill is not particularly outrageous, it is very easy to cooperate with the jungler to create opportunities.
Not only that, there is another advantage to taking Karma in the middle.
To be continued...
