The League: From Bench to Global Champion

Chapter 107 Battle of the Final Four (1)

In order to establish the comprehensive strength of each major competition area and improve the league points system. The 2015 League of Legends officially held its first global competition.

Abbreviation: "League of Legends"

This year, the league officially announced that it would no longer allow two teams from the same club to participate in the World Championship.

Last year's champion team, the Samsung Duo, also suffered a decline in strength due to players being bought and the club's personnel not well organized.

The SKT team, which won the world championship in S3, once again won the LCK Spring Championship as the king, and qualified for the first World Mid-Season Invitational Tournament.

In the same year, the EDG team from the LPL also won the LPL Spring Championship with its domestic dominance and met SKT in the mid-season.

Because S3 and S4 won the world championship for two consecutive years, the Lck division has become the world's recognized first division.Especially after the Samsung duo brutally abused the strong teams in each competition area, almost all the masters from all walks of life poured into the first area of ​​Hanbok.

Most of the clubs in China's first recruitment condition is based on the rank of Hanbok.

In this inherently superior environment, LCK fans simply look down on the LPL teams.

What's more, it is said that LCK is the natural nemesis of LPL.

This year's mid-season almost started with the two divisions scolding each other and fighting each other.

Afterwards, SKT went all the way through and defeated the champion team in the same group. EDG also lived up to expectations and stepped into the finals.

For the BO5 competition system, the Korean operating strategy is almost seamless.Many LCK teams basically lose in Bo1 or Bo3.

Just when everyone was not optimistic about EDG, the team finally defeated SKT in 5 rounds of hard work under the leadership of the factory manager.

This is also the first time that an LPL team has defeated a South Korean team in a BO5 in the World Championship.

The factory manager's outstanding performances have also attracted a large number of LCK fans, and even Korean clubs have offered him an olive branch.

After the mid-season defeat, LCK regards EDG as the only competitor this year.

When the LPL summer playoffs started, the LCK commentary channel rarely turned the BO5 between EDG and LGD into a live broadcast.

The head coach and players in the SKT Tactical Analysis Room were carefully watching the LPL semi-finals.

"Hey, EDG seems to be losing. It seems that the LPL division just updated the version today. It seems that their BP in the first round was not good enough."

Jungle bengi shook his head nonchalantly: "So what if they do well, it's not about learning from our LCK operations."

Faker patted the opponent's thigh lightly to signal him not to talk nonsense.

Sure enough, the head coach looked at Bengi very dissatisfied:

"E-sports is a continuous learning process. They learn from us, and we also learn from them. I hope that such words will not come out of your mouths in the future."

Marin has always belonged to the kind of straight-talking character. Seeing EDG's first game, he couldn't help saying:

"Is this the strongest team in the LPL? If it's just like this, I believe we will be able to win them."

Faker shook his head: "I heard that the current team called LGD defeated EDG in the regular season. And there is a new team that has done the same."

Hearing this, Marin became interested: "A new team? Aren't the powerful teams in the LPL OMG, WE, and IG? What's the point of a new team?"

At this time, the head coach also added: "They have a new team called QG. They only fought all the way from the secondary league in the summer regular season. And they also won the second place in points with a record of complete victories."

"QG?" Marin murmured again.

Bengi on the side sneered: "I know that team, and you also know the current mid laner."

"who is it?"

"Doin b."

"The passerby king from S3? The one who plays Carter and Lulu?" Marin asked back.

"That's right, it's him. A few days ago, he rushed to become the No.1 king in our district."

When the name Doinb was mentioned, several SKT players felt a little uncomfortable.Obviously a very strong player, but he went to play in a hostile competition area.

Not only are these players a little disgusted, but even LCK fans are criticizing them both verbally and in writing.

I thought Faker would say something, but I didn't expect that people skipped the link of talking about Doinb and mentioned another person instead:

"A few days ago, I watched the video of QG and EDG playing against each other. Their single player was very good on the bench, and I heard that the reaction test of that person was actually 1.3."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was not calm.

Bengi got up from the chair slightly: "What you said is true? It can't be people from LPL who are bragging! How can there be such an exaggerated person?"

Faker shook his head: "It's true, my friend is very reliable."

Marin was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What's his name?"

Faker: "It seems to be called Linlin or something. Today, in the second Bo5 of the LPL, there will be a team called QG, maybe he will also play."

Marin straightened his posture immediately, if what Faker said was true, then he had to pay more attention to this person.

wawa: "IMP still wanted to continue chasing, but Deft was held back. The factory manager came to help his teammates out, but he couldn't stand it. The operation of IMP was full, the policewoman was killed first, and the excavator was replaced. point.

The factory manager and Deft were killed one after another, and now only Meiko is left in EDG, the base can't stand it anymore! "

Miller: "If there are no accidents, we can now announce the victory of LGD in advance."

Joker: "So this problem is what I mentioned before. EDG's tactical understanding of the new version may have given too much insight into LCK's style of play. But this style of play may not be applicable in LPL.

Especially when facing LGD, which has been in strong form recently, you can see that EDG has been dragged by LGD from the beginning of the game.

It seems that EDG took the initiative to change lanes and roam, but in fact, after careful analysis, these were all forced by LGD. "

Miller: "That's right! But the whole Bo5 has just started, and neither side has shown their cards. It's still in a mutual testing situation."

wawa: "The key now is to see what kind of hero EDG will give the factory manager and Koro1 in the second game. If we still follow the idea of ​​the first game, I guess this Bo5 will be difficult."

In the team lounge, Abu crossed his arms and paced up and down on the floor.

At this time, May reminded: "Bishop, they are coming back. Look?"

Abu shook his head: "It's okay! There is no need to change players. I know Koro1. It's not a matter of his state in this round, but his thinking is a little unclear."

In the first game, Raven was chosen to play Rambo in the top lane. I thought Koro1 could exert its laning advantage and suppress the opponent.

The result was just the opposite. Raven was beaten by Rambo, and he was beaten and disabled many times to go home.As a result, the factory manager fell into a passive situation when competing for the resources in the upper half of the field.

Abbu vetoed the decision to replace Koro1 after much thought, and at the same time a bold plan was formed in his mind.
