Chapter 360 Interview

"Don't forget, WE beat SKT in the Intercontinental Championship."

"LZ is not that strong, they didn't meet a particularly strong team in the group stage."

"Indeed."

"..."

There are still 3 days until the semi-finals.

Let's fight.

Many posts are predicting the score, and people leave questions or agree with them from time to time.

Among them, the bolder comments will become the material for boomerangs in the future.

Just like this time.

WE fans analyzed their own advantages.

They think that the BO5 between SKT and RNG revealed enough information, such as there is no need to restrict Wolf's Lulu, such as Prince can be tied with Gragas, and such as Huni doesn't know Kennen at all.

In addition.

RNG doesn't play Xayah and Rakan, but it doesn't mean WE won't.

Relying on these advantages, 60E believes that WE has a good chance of entering the finals by luck.

Seeing these analyses.

RNG fans are very angry.

When they were grouped in the quarterfinals before, they were attacked by 60E.

What’s even more infuriating is that the material of RNG and SKT’s five-game battle will definitely be borrowed by WE——

Some people are furious at the thought of helping WE.

A QQ group.

A group member sent a link to a post. Clicking it will show 60E’s team building in the comment section.

“It’s really disgusting!”

Why.

The most praised comment is a variation of last year’s credit stalk:

“Why do you say it’s a good draw? I just hope RNG can play out SKT’s stuff and clear some obstacles for WE.

Winning is of course better, with three seats in the semi-finals; but losing is not bad either, as it can avoid a civil war again... In the end, as long as WE enters the finals, RNG has one-third of the credit. As for LGD, two words, meeting. I’m an LPL fan, a rational fan.”

[No problem. ]

[RNG was eliminated, what’s wrong with that? ]

[If the Royal Team enters the finals for the third time, I guess I won’t be able to get my nationality back. ]

[Most people are very satisfied with the quarter-final draw, so who is dissatisfied? Those who understand will understand. 】

【Everyone here owes RNG a championship. This is an opportunity. 】

【Haha. 】

Seeing these contents.

The group members were so angry that their mouths were crooked.

They didn't expect that one day, they would be played with credit by other fan groups.

"Haha, is this a unified front? We have the worst luck in the draw, is there anyone to speak for us?"

"You play it like this, right? Then I will support SKT. Anyway, there are not many players in China that I like, so it's better to support Faker." Some group members gave up the principle of unified front.

"With WE, they might be defeated by SKT 3-0. What's the point of playing Xayah and Rakan, and making BP easy? Faker has not picked any other mid laners except Galio in these five games."

"Still Galio."

"Only idiots think it's Galio's problem."

"Xiye fans are also funny. Faker's state is not fixed. If you like to take a moment as forever, you must have a hole in your brain."

"WE fans are like this. They are sour and disgusting."

"Lemon people..."

Scold them.

Logic tells them that RNG did help WE in terms of BP. In fact, SKT guessed that RNG would not lock Xayah and Rakan only in the fourth or fifth game.

This is also a gamble.

However, SKT's gamble was successful. Otherwise, according to the blue side BP, they took the jungler in the first floor, and they were destined to give Xayah and Rakan plus a team-opening jungler to RNG. And according to the rules of the first and third games, if SKT released this kind of BP, the probability of losing was very high.

To put it bluntly.

SKT's offensive in the bottom half was actually not as good as RNG. After all, this was not 3-0 or 3-1, but a real 3-2.

The reason why RNG scolded the coaching team was that they thought RNG had a good chance of winning.

It's just that the coaching team was pure trash, which led to a bad BP.

Apart from anything else, if RNG was the same as LGD, and had one more killer combination, would SKT dare to ban so many junglers?

In fact, it was later.

The answer SKT found was that BP restricted the team-opening jungler and tactically protected the transition of the bottom lane. They spent three games and roughly defined the scope.

Even so.

SKT still won very hard.

If Uzi was more stable in the key game and not in a hurry to do things, maybe the stalemate could have lasted for a long time, because both sides lacked the means to go to the high ground at that time.

"It is difficult for anyone to do BP on the red side, unless they think that their mid lane can suppress the opponent."

"I want to see how WE breaks the red and blue."

"Have they forgotten that Huni's weapon did not take the initiative to exchange blood in the intercontinental competition, so he would not go home three times in 5 minutes. You don't really think i's line, he can't even burst Letme."

"Huni is a more stable person, and he is still good at ordering dishes. 957 is an old blue-collar worker. I don't know why the lemon people are praising him, praising his age or praising him for not taking a bath."

"???"

RNG fans are always sensitive to the word "bathing".

And in the outside world.

With LGD beating SSG, RNG and SKT's BP problem has a new debate.

For example, RNG fans think that it is not that Uzi can't play Xia, but that Xiao Ming's Luo is too ordinary. The reason why I don't dare to play Xayah and Rakan is that I'm afraid Ming's feel is not good -

Classic theory 1: Tristana and Twitch feel more popular, so there's no need to play Xayah and Rakan, who are more dependent on skills.

In addition.

Those who watched the game know that when LGD reaches the red side, they can only single out Rakan.

Someone counted LGD's BP from the group stage to the quarterfinals when they shut out SSG, and found that when LGD reached the red side, they only banned the popular jungler Galio.

In this way, some RNG fans came up with the second classic theory: the most special heroes in S7 are Kalista and Rakan, not Xia, and certainly not Galio.

So if you want to find the culprit, the top lane was suppressed for four games, the output ratio of the mid lane was not as good as that of AD, and Ming's performance was stable only when he got Janna. These three people committed far more crimes than Uzi.

For a while.

As the anger of AD's sudden death was smoothed, Uzi's reputation improved slightly, and even more cohesive than before. After all, in this world championship, Uzi did not lag behind Bang in the laning phase.

No matter how much people criticize Uzi, they have to admit that in this BO5, Uzi showed the laning skills and team battle harvest that a top AD should have, which is not a weak point of the team.

Watching his teammates become Uzi's stepping stone.

Weibo.

Some e-sports big Vs suddenly sent a edited voice message as if they had received an order.

This voice is not long, only more than 6 minutes-

"No matter what the opponent chooses, we will take Ryze this time."

"Look at the dog, look at the dog (silent silence) Can the dog run? Eh, it seems not."

"Can it be started? Just start the team fight, you don't have to start AD."

"Don't let Zac in."

After winning the third game, Uzi said: "I don't think they are that good." After a while, Uzi said again: "They played so-so."

Lost the fourth game.

Ming and Letme are still livening up the atmosphere: "It's okay, just treat it as a BO1."

Hearing this, it's actually nothing.

The audience can only feel that Letme's mentality is okay, unlike the outside world's speculation, he is not under great pressure against Huni.

Then.

The most important thing is here.

When SKT grabbed Zac on the blue side in the fifth game, a very obvious voice came out in the background: "The opponent must be Galio and Gnar."

The message given by this sentence is that RNG knows what the opponent is going to take.

"Relax." Xiangguo is shaking his legs.

"Can you take Xayah?" Firefox: "Xayah and Rakan are invincible."

Silence, silent silence.

"Then choose Twitch."

The voice ends here. It does not include the team battle voice and the ending voice of the fifth game.

Bai Xing knows one thing very well.

He is not here to destroy Uzi, so it is enough to release these voices.

After all, if the full version of the voice is released.

Everyone knows that there is something wrong with the mentality of the double C in the fifth game.

In fact.

In S6MSI, Xiaohu did not speak and ran to die in a key game. It can't be said that he died, but he didn't report to his teammates what he was going to do.

Of course.

This is normal.

If the situation is not right, PYL usually only has to put wards in his mind, and will ignore potential dangers.

So in the training game, as long as Qin Hao reduces the command, PYL's death position is very strange, and Eimy laughed and said that it is not a place where a normal support should go.

In fact, there are only two situations in which being killed alone in the professional arena, one is that there has been communication and you know the danger and want to operate, and the other is that you did not communicate and pursed your mouth when you die.

And RNG's fifth game.

There are many pursed lips shots.

Compared with the first four games, the communication of the all-Chinese team in teamfights suddenly became less noisy, otherwise, in a group fight, all five people would shout xxx.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

This edited voice made the already boiling lake turbulent. Similarly, fans who support RNG's mid, top and support have had blisters on their lips in the past few days, and they will see the sound of scolding when they go online.

For those who say that they are guilty.

Except for pretending to be dead, it is not easy to refute. After all, in terms of BP, Xiangguo has the greatest pressure and the most banned heroes. In the game, Uzi is watched the most.

To put it bluntly, SKT doesn't care about the mid and top at all.

So Xiaohu's fans themselves are embarrassed.

They know that when SKT plays against LGD, they will devote a lot of energy to find Penicillin in teamfights.

Like at MSI, someone in the anti-bar copied SKT's teamfight voice.

At that time, Faker said: "Find the mid-lane position, don't start if you don't know", and when it comes to Xiaohu, I guess it's "Don't look at him, just start AD".

Sorry, sorry.

The problem is that after losing to SKT in the quarterfinals, Uzi's fans were a bit too much.

Why is it that Uzi is awesome when we win, and teammates are not safe when we lose? In this BO5, Xiaohu definitely played better than last year, and the final comeback was clearly given away by Uzi.

But in the mouths of Uzi's fans, it became that without Uzi, we couldn't make it to the fifth game.

Ha.

I also said that without mlxg, there is no way to win at all. Those who say this are bullying Xiaohu because they have few fans!

It doesn't make sense that in a game where four protect one wins, it's because Uzi is great and leads the team alone. In a game where four protect one loses, it's because teammates have problems and Uzi can't lead.

Many times.

The choice of lineup determines the direction of tactics. Not executing is one thing, and being in a bad state is another.

In this BO5, it’s ok to scold Xiaohu for his poor economic conversion rate, and to wash Uzi, it’s ÷ to scold Xiaohu, but as a core AD, the first AD to die in the late game, what is this?

Just fight it.

No one expected that the popularity of the predicted scores of the semi-finals would be diluted by such an unexpected event.

Although I really don’t want to say it.

But Uzi’s black traffic is really huge.

After the voice is released.

At least it explained to the general public one incident that urgently needs to know the truth: that is why the BP in the fifth round is somewhat abstract.

Why didn't RNG lose BP after SKT demolished Xia Luo? The exchange logic in the first few games was clearly understandable, but not in the fifth game.

It’s also because I don’t understand.

Only then would Ming not know the Luo style, Uzi not know the Xia style, and so much psychological analysis.

~~~

Guangzhou.

Uzi was playing mahjong with someone when he received a call from an acquaintance and his face changed drastically. He took out his mobile phone and clicked on Weibo. When he saw that he was being criticized, he was a little confused for the first time.

After all these 2 days.

No one sends private messages to scold him anymore.

But just now, there were suddenly a lot more private messages.

After confusion comes anger.

He simply couldn't understand why the audience was so hostile to him.

His annual salary is so high, his girlfriend is so beautiful, he has a house at home, he has a lot of savings, and he is an outstanding child from other people's families. Even before he has left the society, he is already a successful person in the eyes of outsiders.

It’s just different from other ‘successful people’.

He was always scolded.

The emotional experience is extremely bad.

"The team's voice has been leaked." He called his father, his tone full of confusion and anger.

"I just made a call to your manager..."

Father Jian was not angry and probably talked about his views. In his opinion, this matter is very simple. RNG originally planned to imitate Fujii and publish a special episode, thinking that double-killing SSG would be a disgrace to the club.

So even though they lost to SKT in the quarterfinals, the scheduled specials were still being edited.

certainly.

According to the RNG manager, they outsourced the editing work, and it was not the club that lost the voice. This will also hold the entrusted party accountable.

"Grass."

"Can you calm down a little bit?"

As a member of society, Jian's father always felt that Uzi's temper was a bit too irritable, and he often tried to persuade him.

But for Uzi.

He cares about whether the game is enjoyable or not.

It is precisely because of this pursuit that he has the patience to hone his skills without completely becoming a poker player.

Just like that.

After losing to SKT, Uzi planned to take a long vacation.

Because he felt that he did not need the honor of the spring competition, and even thought of gathering in November, he was particularly resistant and planned to take it slow before doing rehabilitation training.

After being preached.

Uzi hung up the phone abruptly.

And in the outside world.

The voice event is still fermenting.

The big Vs who forwarded it answered the unsolved mysteries of the past few days in a jaw-dropping way. In this way, the fans were divided first.

The group that had been the most protective in the past felt that they had been harmed.

They played against so many people and speculated on so many reasons, but the result was that Uzi didn't want to pick Xayah.

get this answer.

Many people almost vomited blood.

"S6 doesn't know Jhin, S7 doesn't know Xia, this is the number one AD in gsl's eyes."

"Hahaha, you said that SKT is not very good, you are laughing so hard."

"Two to one thinks it's a sure win and talks coquettishly. Two to two should adjust the atmosphere, but becomes mute again."

"It's really a blessing to be a teammate with the Hongwen boy."

"I feel a little sorry for Ming."

"GSL also tried Pengci Imp and Bang. My evaluation is that they are not as good as Basket."

"They are rubbish who never beat SKT, and they still have a face."

That "not very good" and "fairly average" comment sounds really funny now. It not only angered SKT fans, but the comparison of attitudes before and after was also hurtful.

It's been a day of trouble.

night.

While eating, C Bo chatted with Da Lang about this matter.

"The wind direction changes so quickly."

"Even if he doesn't know Xia, he doesn't have the blame." Da Lang wondered: "I really don't think Xia is that powerful. This hero can't even lose blood when playing in the front row."

"This is a backlash, Big Wolf."

C Bo has experienced how Godv changed from CN's hope to everyone shouting for beating, and he knows that what the audience is criticizing is not the Heavenly Sword, but the backlash brought by the No. 1 seed in the top 16.

Whenever Godv wins, the evaluation will be that he can win regardless of practice, a truly talented mid laner does not need to work hard, Faker is just a JB, and he cannot beat Godv if he practices every day.

Just like the 50-50 comment.

It's obviously the feeling during the training game, but it can turn into a boomerang after the game. Who dares to say that you are evenly matched with Faker when your skills are inferior to others?

After a while.

C Bo said proudly: "Now you know why I don't talk nonsense during interviews. In a professional career, you not only have to control your hands, but also your mouth."

Eimy rolled her eyes.

It’s now time to wash your hands in disguise. Obviously he is not that particular in private, but he likes to act polite in front of the camera.

People here.

They didn't take Uzi's comment seriously. They were all 2-1 ahead at the match point, so they said, "What's wrong with playing well?"

Could it be that 2 to 1 should still praise SKT for its awesomeness?

so.

C Bo doesn’t quite understand what makes the audience angry. Fans feel that RNG has lost, and yet they dare to criticize SKT as being disrespectful and clowns. This does not mean they think so.

In fact.

When I saw the post about Uzi not knowing Xia, Qin Hao just felt that Uzi didn’t like training new heroes very much.

He talked to Xiye some time ago.

I know that Uzi can beat WE's Xia Luo even in vn.

So in Uzi's eyes, Xia Luo is not that scary. This combination is good at grabbing lanes, but at worst, it is against development.

one more.

Uzi has practiced Xia in ranked, but the number of games is very small, so I don’t feel that he is strong when playing. Because except for the World Championship, Xia Xia’s appearance rate is not among the top five in AD.

Except for Xihuang, no one in the LPL has the attitude that they must be banned, including the LCK.

Such excitement.

LZ is not affected.

During the preparations for the game, Tarzan was interviewed by Korean media and was asked about "a few times" and "what are your thoughts".

He said: "I have been longing for this duel for a long time, as for the idea..."

Tarzan was silent for a while, recalling the former 'teammate' of Mike and the tireless genius, and said: "Many people asked me if I regret it, but I want to say that people should look forward."

LGD is very strong.

Penicillin is even more terrifyingly strong.

But his heart was only boiling hot.

The reporter was a little disappointed.

He wanted to get a more arrogant answer, but Tarzan seemed to be infected with Penicillin's characteristics and did not like to show arrogance.

Evening training session.

After another defeat, Jin Jingzhu held back his anger and scolded: "Are you going to compete in this state? You should know that you need to have a big advantage in the top half to maintain the winning rate."

Then, he stared at Khan: "K, this is your answer?"

Without Coach Jin’s high demands, Khan wouldn’t be where he is today.

But despite being scolded too much, Khan still occasionally complains: "If I put pressure, the other side will definitely come to catch me. I can't get away every time."

"Is it my fault that you didn't leave?" Jin Jingzhu said angrily: "Look what you did. You changed at the top this time, and you just fell behind. Obviously, when you enter the next route, there will be a duel environment. …”

"If you get it in exchange, it won't be a loss." Khan explained.

"Haha." Jin Jingzhu laughed angrily: "The opponent dodges your skills, but you still have to flash all in. Don't tell me, you can't even count the kill line."

Khan opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a long time.

sometimes.

He felt it was unreasonable.

He admitted that the reason for this wave of aggression was because the opponent kept twisting, which made him unhappy. But he is not a machine, and he cannot avoid emotions when operating.

But Jin Jingzhu is still scolding.

It's easy to say that it's just a dodge, and the operating space becomes smaller. It's because of this wave of gifts that there is no rhythm in the future.

As the strongest person in the team, Khan bears the most responsibility and scolding.

Maybe with emotion.

In the second training game, Khan's performance was even worse. In the game where the dominant dragon pushed flat, he went to show off his operation and gave it to one, resulting in a few people being trapped.

"Xiba bastard, do you know how to play games?"

"You can't encourage me to operate and at the same time prevent me from making mistakes."

Seeing that Khan dared to talk back, Jin Jingzhu seemed a little angry.

In his eyes, Khan's position selection and operations were completely unreasonable.

But Khan felt that he was being treated "specially". In the game with LGD, the mid laner's duel was obviously crucial, so why didn't he scold BDD.

certainly.

It's not that he has a problem with BDD.

This is just his idea.

Obviously BDD also made mistakes, but he was always scolded.

"Operation? What's the use of incorrect operation?"

"Listen, if you want to win, you have to be prepared to get an advantage and serve the team."

Jin Jingzhu strongly emphasized his coaching philosophy: "The advantage is not achieved by you alone. If you dare to make such a mistake in the semifinals, get out of here."

No one thought Kim Jung-soo was joking.

As a coach.

Rants and insults reflect Korean rules.

In the LCK, although there are rules for seniors and juniors, as a player, no one can be superior, and only the coach and the "strong ones" can humiliate poorly performing players at will.

for this scene.

Tarzan's mind flashed back to the conversation Mag had with him before he left.

Although he left LGD, he always compares Mike with his coach Jin.

to be honest.

He also believes that laughing and joking can't lead to championships. The biggest characteristic of Mike is his 'indulgence' towards geniuses. During the LGD period, he had never seen Brother Mag being jealous of Penicillin.

but.

Not so with Kim Jing-soo.

Obviously the whole world knows that only when LongZhu is comfortable on the road can its rhythm be stable and its winning rate high, but Jin Jingzhu never gave Khan a good look.

Even if Khan is the kind of new-generation top laner who proves his ability right from the start and quickly gains audience reputation and free spray privileges, he will still be suppressed by Jin Jingzhu's desire to operate.

The biggest difference here is.

Jin Jingzhu believes that Khan should play what the team needs him to play, and cannot do whatever he wants, but Khan feels that the top laner must have a lot of freedom if he wants to c.

More precisely.

Jin Jingzhu's requirements for top order are indeed higher than other positions, and they are extremely strict.

The next day.

After Qin Hao learned about the content of Tarzan's interview, he took the initiative to log in to the Weibo account x-on:Tarzan and said——

[See you at Oriental Sports Center. 】

For Qin Hao.

He could feel the meaning of Tarzan's words "long desired".

Just like when he left RNG in disgrace, he also said, "If you don't want me here, I'll find another place to stay." Although at that time, he was confused for a while.

Of course.

This is not revenge, but proof.

Until now.

He can still recall the moment when he first met RNG on the field.

Below the dynamic.

Seeing Qin Hao quoted that interview and took the initiative to tag Tarzan, the fans were somewhat emotional. After all, at that time, some Qing fans praised Tarzan, who had just played one or two games, as the King of Taishan.

Unexpectedly, half a year later.

After Tarzan went to LZ, he really became the king of jungle in the eyes of Korean audiences.

[Turtle, "old friends" meet on the field, right? ]

[Don't hold back, there is no room for error in the knockout stage. ]

[Wow, my Taishan Qingdi bond (crying). ]

[So, this game is to prove who is the strongest jungler? ]

[What does Tarzan mean by this interview, is he going to abuse us? 】

【It's not like abuse, it should be to prove something. 】

Dinner in the evening.

Eimy saw this Weibo and said to Qin Hao: "He is in a good state." Then he joked: "He won't really abuse me."

Qin Hao picked up a piece of ribs: "This is a team game."

"Hehe."

Eimy was not afraid. In the spring season training match, his performance was better than Tarzan. This game is not a matchup that can be decided by leading.

"You don't have confidence?" Big Dog grinned.

"What a joke, I helped in the middle, if he has the guts, he will help in the middle."

C Bo: ...

After a while, C Bo looked at Qin Hao: "What about the game?" He wanted to ask if he had confidence, but Qin Hao seemed to know that he would ask this question.

"We will win."

Now.

Everyone felt that the food smelled better.

The day of the final battle.

There were crowds of people outside the Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai.

On the billboard at the entrance of the sports center, Qin Hao and BDD stood opposite each other, and the team logos above their heads were eye-catching.

This semi-final.

First, LGD and LZ kicked off.

The peak duel between the two top seeds made many viewers think: whoever wins this semi-final will lock the Summoner's Cup in advance.

After all.

SKT was defeated by LZ, and WE was also defeated by LGD.

Relying on such gimmicks.

Scalpers directly raised the ticket price to 6K, not afraid that no one would buy the live ticket.

As the start time got closer.

Everyone was getting more and more nervous.

The countdown numbers on the big screen seemed to be engraved in their hearts.

"3, 2, 1..."

Tens of thousands of spectators in the stadium counted down in unison.

The next second.

The venue turned off the overhead lights, and "Legends Never Die" sounded all around.
