Chapter 167 Brother Ka, I will lift the World Championship trophy! I will!

When the last group match was over.

The drawing ceremony that the audience was looking forward to but didn’t want to see soon began.

As a guest, Rookie obviously has much better luck than Zizi.

The first sign.

TOP1!

FW!

This means that the first match of the quarterfinals will be between TOP1 and FW.

Look at it from another perspective.

This is also considered a civil war.

but
FW team’s performance in this year’s competition is obviously not as good as that of other regions. When facing the TOP1 team, the favorite to win the championship, the result is self-evident.

Second sign!
SSG!

SKT!

When the second group results of the quarterfinals were announced.

The entire Wuhan Sports Center was in a frenzy.

Countless audiences screamed.

Two of the three LCK teams actually met in the quarterfinals!

Even Rookie, who drew this lot, looked at his hand with curiosity, as if he was very surprised by the result.

Next is the third sign!

RNG!

EDG!

next second.

The audience who were still screaming suddenly started wailing again.

No one expected it.

In less than a minute.

They actually witnessed the ‘miracle’ at the same time!
Although the final group result of the quarterfinals has been determined.

However, as the person who drew the lots, Rookie had to show the remaining two slips of paper in order to avoid being spread rumors by some bad media, saying that the LPL region had cheated in a large-scale event like the World Championship and had predetermined the places for the quarterfinals.

ROX!

G2!

This way.

The draw ceremony for the quarterfinals was finally over.

The quarterfinals will be held at the Guangzhou Gymnasium.

Although it is already October.

However, the weather in Guangzhou and Wuhan is similar, both are in a relatively hot environment.

Group A’s schedule will finish the fastest.

After confirming that the TOP1 team had advanced to the quarterfinals, coach kkoma took the players to a hotel near the Guangzhou Gymnasium in advance.

After a short rest.

Everyone quickly plunged into high-intensity training.

Time passes day by day.

soon.

10 month 19 day.

4 o’clock in the afternoon.

The first BO5 match of the quarterfinals officially began.

Before the game, the LPL official also specially interviewed some fans of the two teams who came offline to support today’s game.

A young man wearing a TOP1 team jersey signed by Wang Yu shouted excitedly to the camera: “Come on TOP1! Come on Emo brother!”

Many fans of Team TOP1 also shouted in unison: “Come on TOP1!”

As for the fans of FW team.

Can’t say no.

It can only be said that the official LPL interview staff searched for a long time before they found a fan of the FW team among many passers-by players.

and.

This player from Taiwan is not a pure fan of the FW team. He just had good luck and won a ticket from the FW team in a lottery online.

When facing the camera.

There was also a sense of helplessness in his tone when he spoke: “I hope Team FW can lose less miserably.”

When the players in the live broadcast rooms of the competitions on various platforms heard these words, they couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

[What truth are you talking about? If you can tell the truth, just say more! ]

[Be careful not to open the champagne before the game! Our TOP1 team just got the first place in Group A by luck, and FW team is also a strong team! ]

[Brother upstairs, could you please stop laughing when you say this? ]

【Hahahaha~】

Amidst the banter and chat in the barrage, the game soon began.

When the lights gathered on the players’ channel, the big screen in the venue also displayed the pictures.

Compared to the TOP1 players who were walking on the road with a relaxed look on their faces and interacting with the players in the audience seats on both sides, the players of the FW team not only had serious expressions, but even forgot to interact with the players in the audience seats on both sides.

“Dear summoners at the scene and in front of the screen, welcome to the quarterfinals of the 2017 World Finals! The game that is about to begin will be between the TOP1 team and the FW team!”

“You can see that the players are ready! So please give the audience the warmest cheers to start the first BO5 match of this year’s World Championship!”

The experienced Guan Zeyuan in the commentary booth livened up the atmosphere with just a few words.

Accompanied by cheers and encouragement from the audience.

A crisp sound rang out throughout the entire competition venue!

BP has begun!

“Blue side TOP1, red side FW.”

“TOP1 banned Gragas right from the start. It seems that the first place finish in the group stage did not make coach kkoma arrogant. He also did some research on the FW team during the offseason!”

Guan Zeyuan looked at the big screen with admiration.

Coach kkoma, who was wearing a suit, holding a small notebook in his hand and had a serious face, gradually regained his form as the world championship progressed.

The significance of this first bna position is obvious!

The strongest and most core member of the FW team is the jungler Kasra.

Talk about it.

This is not the first BO1 match between TOP5 and FW in a world-class event.

The semi-finals of this year’s MSI event.

The FW team has already played against the TOP1 team.

In fact, coach kkoma had paid attention to the FW team a long time ago.

After all, Kasra is a regular in the World Championships.

He can lead a team to the World Championship every time by himself!

Its strength is absolutely world-class.

But unfortunately, he is the only pillar of the entire FW team.

This BO5.

The tactical cards played by kkoma were also simple and crude.

limit!

against!

As long as Kasra fails to display his original strength and drive the team’s rhythm, it will be difficult for FW team to win.

And so it is.

Whether it’s the red side or the blue side.

The ban positions are exactly the same.

Beer Man, Jarvan, and Sejuani, three jungle heroes that are in the mainstream of the version and are often chosen by the FW team, kkoma chose not to use them but banned them.

Kasra felt that he was being targeted and was very uneasy.

Although the hero pool is not a problem for a player with rich competition experience like him, he still has to consider the version issue.

Kasra, who was used to playing as a team, was unable to quickly transform his playing style into a jungle core cancer style in a short period of time.

So much so that even if he got the Nidalee by grabbing it instead of banning it, Kasra would subconsciously give the low-health kill to his teammates in the game.

This resulted in Kasra often being able to bring a good rhythm to the team in the early stages, and even at one point leading the team in economy.

It can be achieved as the game progresses to the middle and late stages.

TOP1’s steady operations gradually made up for the economic gap, and when the time came for their double C to exert their strength, they were able to end the game directly through two or three waves of team battles.

Three hours.

3: 0!

After the game, Kasra sat on the chair, rubbing his face, not wanting to say anything.

Until Wang Yu came with his teammates.

He slowly stood up from his seat.

“Good luck next time!” Kasra patted Wang Yu on the shoulder and forced a smile on his face.

This only takes a few minutes.

Any player with a strong desire to win cannot adjust his mentality. He can only force a smile and cheer for his enemy who has defeated him. This is the most Kasra can do.

“Brother Ka, I will lift the world championship trophy! I definitely will!” Wang Yu responded seriously.

the next day.

SSG vs. SKT!

This BO5 battle lasted for six hours before the winner was finally decided.

After experiencing failures in the spring and summer seasons.

Even though the team coach Kim Jeong-joo is not as strong as kkoma.

Just as Faker said before the game, he showed a different side of himself in this BO5.

Five games.

In three games, the blue team grabbed Galio once, and won two and lost one.

Not only did the timely TP and ultimate support save Bang from death many times, but Faker also used multiple flashes + W to create extremely critical control effects, allowing the originally disadvantaged team to instantly reverse the situation.

Karma and Void Prophet’s act of eating grass and milking the cows will give all the economy belonging to the mid lane to the bottom lane and jungle.

From the core of the team to the sacrificial position of the team.

Only Faker himself knows how much effort and sweat he put into this.

The result of successfully defeating SSG and advancing to the semi-finals is Faker’s best gain.

Day three.

RNG vs. EDG!

With both sides of their hands being made of flesh and blood, Wawa and Miller were even unwilling to serve as commentators for this BO5 match.

Without any choice.

The official could only find Guan Zeyuan who looked dejected because of SSG’s elimination, Wang Duoduo who mindlessly supported TOP1, and Haokai, the oxygen tank.

The same five games are played.

Unlike the LCK civil war, the LPL civil war is more like a competition between coaches on how well they understand the opposing players.

The outcome of the game can basically be predicted from the first ten minutes.

The two teams won and lost one game until the crucial match point.

MingKai, who has been in better and better form since the start of the summer season, did not hesitate at all and took out Lee Sin in the deciding game to prove that he was once the world’s No. 1 jungler.

And mlxg also took out the killer weapon he had finally mastered after training with the TOP1 team for a long time: Shen!

Although Shen has been chopped down a few times by the designers, he is still the mainstream top lane hero of the version. It is not a problem if you think about it carefully that RNG has moved him to the jungle position.

mlxg is called a reckless jungler by many players.

A hero like Shen, who is extremely aggressive and can start a team fight at any time, is simply the perfect fit for mlxg’s style of play.

Less than three minutes into the game.

mlxg successfully counter-jungled, not only forcing Mingkai to flash, but also stealing the red BUFF that was of great use to Mingkai.

There was a lack of a set of red BUFFs in the early stage, and Mingkai’s Lee Sin started the game in a shattering manner.

The devastating opening of the life-and-death game did not affect the veteran’s mentality and judgment.

Game time is five minutes.

Mingkai demonstrated his absolute awareness of vision control to audiences all over the world.

After a flanking move, Lightmi predicted and successfully hit the target with his Q.

EDG, which was at a slight disadvantage at the beginning, was the first to get first blood!

However, the good times did not last long.

After taking an extra set of buffs and reaching level 6 first, mlxg ganked the middle lane first, used E flash E to help Xiaohu kill Scout, and then took Xiaohu to the bottom lane for a 4V2 tower dive, sending deft and meiko back to the fountain.

“Xiang Guo’s two waves of ganking rhythm are a bit like your style, Brother Yu!”

“Indeed! The action was very decisive. If RNG hesitated, Mouse would definitely TP to support the bottom lane.”

“It’s mainly because Mingkai hasn’t reached level 6 yet. He missed a buff at the beginning, and even if he got assists, it couldn’t make up for it.”

The TOP1s who came to watch the game as if it were a holiday were discussing in low voices.

“I feel like there’s no need to keep watching. Uzi’s Tristana is simply invincible in the early game. I don’t even know what Dai Putt can do to fight him.”

imp’s judgment is very accurate.

The game went on for about 15 minutes. Although the economic gap between the two sides was not much, Uzi, who had consumed resources from two lanes, already had two sets of equipment in hand!
A group of dragons.

Uzi performed three consecutive jumps and chased EDG from the dragon pit to the middle lane tower, almost completing a team wipe before 20 minutes.

However, EDG did not fall into despair after this setback.

Although Mingkai’s skills have declined a lot as he gets older, his awareness is still top-notch.

Game time is 23 minutes.

MingKai used his W skill to slowly move behind the RNG lineup. Although Uzi used flash and W to create distance at the moment of entering the field, Xiaohu, who was a step slower in reaction, was not so lucky and was kicked directly into the EDG crowd by MingKai.

If you take the initiative and kill one person instantly.

EDG’s team battles became increasingly difficult.

With Shen dividing the battlefield, Tristana’s output environment is very good, and a quad kill directly ends the game.

The game time stopped at 25 minutes.

RNG won the final game and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Fourth day.

The last quarter-finals.

ROX vs. G2!

Before the game started, many viewers were optimistic about ROX, including kkoma and Wang Yu.

But…accidents always come so suddenly.

The G2 team won two games in a row with a thunderous momentum and pushed ROX to the brink of elimination.

The LPL and LCK audiences, who had never seen such a scene, almost stared with their eyes wide open.

LPL viewers are full of anticipation.

After all, ROX is the number one seed in the LCK region. If they are eliminated by G2 in the quarterfinals, it would be considered a history for the LCK region.

LCK audiences continued to watch the game with a nervous mood.

Compared to SKT, who successfully advanced after a life-and-death fight, they are more looking forward to ROX, which has been invincible throughout the year.

Two games in a row were tied.

Faced with a life-and-death situation, ROX had no choice but to use the top four tactics they had prepared in advance.

The super strong and stable concentrated fire output of Void Prophet + Prince + Shen.

An alternative double C of Jayce + Jhin + Time Grudge.

In the final game, Peanut carried the hopes of the entire team and took out the jungle core hero, Nidalee.

ROX scored three points in a row to turn defeat into victory and became the last team to advance to the semi-finals.

After the game.

The audience at the scene has not yet recovered.

The drawing ceremony has begun!
This time it was Mingkai who was eliminated yesterday and has not returned to Shanghai yet.

Mingkai did not have a good reputation last year and was criticized by many domestic audiences.

Although he was eliminated in the quarterfinals this year, not many players criticized Mingkai’s performance.

It’s different from playing a game.

Mingkai, the guest, stood next to the lottery pool, and the show effect automatically came to him.

He was just rubbing his hands together and closing his eyes to pray before drawing the lots.

These actions were instantly made into various emoticons by netizens.

Maybe prayer really worked.

The grouping of the semi-finals is different from that of the quarter-finals.

SKT vs. RNG!

TOP1 vs. ROX!

The moment the draw is over.

The comments in the live broadcast rooms of various platforms were all echoing the words that Wang Yu said at the LPL departure ceremony.

【Brothers, see you in the finals!!!】

However, when LPL viewers finished watching the first BO5 of the semifinals, the only thing in their minds was the commentator’s slightly tearful question: “Why didn’t you ban Galio!!!”

The next day.

The second BO5 is about to begin.
