Create a great era of e-sports

Although as a game company owner, you should not be biased towards any competition region, and you should even pay special attention to the ownership of the championship. The more championships won by different competition regions, the more healthy development of the event will be stimulated.

But Mo Yu still has the soul of a Chinese e-sports player in his heart.

No matter what, he still hopes that the champion can stay in the country.

pity.

This situation is basically impossible now.

This year's IG did play well, but they must also realize the strength gap between them and the top teams.

EDG's operational style has swept thousands of teams in the GPL. How will the Korean team, which is more proficient in operational skills, be any worse?

certainly.

This is also an analysis based on the current paper strength. It is difficult to say what the actual situation will be like.

What's more, there is also FNC among the top four.

This veteran top team is not a vegetarian, maybe it can create miracles.

"They say fighting will destroy operations."

"I hope IG can really take home the trophy!"

"After all, this team should be the only team in the entire GPL that has fighting engraved in its genes."

Mo Yu sincerely hopes that IG can crush all negative comments, reach the championship with the strongest attitude, and keep the trophy that represents GAG's highest honor in the GPL competition.

Late December.

The semifinals begin at Madison Square Garden in New York.

All 20,000 seats were occupied.

Some scalpers have sold the tickets to more than ten times the price, but the supply is still in short supply. I don’t know how many people are openly asking for tickets.

On the day of the game, some fans even cried on social platforms and complained that the tickets they bought at a high price were fake. They felt extremely aggrieved.

And on site.

It has to be said that the audience in the North American region is definitely the friendliest audience group in the world.

The teams in their own division fail to reach the finals every year. Even if they want to find a home team to support them, they can't find one, so they have to be nice. Anyway, everyone is the same, so it doesn't matter, as long as the game is exciting, the applause will never be stingy.

Like this year.

Of the three teams in North America, TSM, the ray of hope, once again failed to qualify for the top 16. The second seed, CLG, also failed to qualify. The remaining third seed, C9, performed the best, making it all the way through the qualifying rounds and even reaching the quarterfinals. However, they met FNC, the European king, was eliminated directly 0-3.

All three teams were wiped out, and the home team was completely gone.

Having said that, the home team will be gone if they don't have it. After playing for three times, they are almost used to it no matter how unwilling they are to accept it.

No matter what, you still have to watch the game, and you still have to shout for cheers.

Therefore, among the more than 20,000 spectators at Madison Square Garden this year, North American spectators are really not a minority, accounting for at least 70% of the venue.

The rest are the supporters of each team coming from afar.

Inside the venue.

The semi-final matches are displayed on the big screen.

In the first game, IG played against FNC, and in the second game, the Korean team had a civil war.

Perfect draw for the top four!

Only Koreans complain everywhere about the shady story.

It's a pity that the North American organizers ignored them and didn't even bother to send a response.

"It feels like the pressure is coming on."

"No, are you afraid of playing FNC?"

"No, it's mainly because it's my first time to play in the semi-finals. I'm really nervous."

"Nervous as a hammer."

The IG five-member team kept discussing backstage, saying they were not afraid, but in fact they could not hide their excitement.

Three years after the team was founded, it entered the World Championship for the first time and went directly to the semi-finals.

This result can be said to have far exceeded their expectations for themselves before the game. Even many team supporters did not expect that they could reach this point.

At most, it’s the top eight!

This has fully satisfied the big boss's requirements for them before the start of the game!

"The top four, to be honest, I didn't even think of it myself." KID twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh but unable to do so. The corners of his mouth were too stiff, making it difficult to do so.

"Don't be afraid, the world is infinite, the universe is borrowing its magic, let me hit the road!" PDD made a strange look, making random gestures with his hands, looking very relaxed.

"Don't make trouble, stay calm." Xiaoxiao said with a smile beside him.

"Are you embarrassed to say it's true? Sun Yalong!" The lady from the capital successfully spoke: "Just don't be too arrogant!"

"Damn it, are you exposing the truth?"

A few people were messing around, and the tension dissipated a lot.

This was a really tough battle for them. Even if they were drawn against FNC, the five IG players didn't think they would definitely win.

In fact, FNC’s performance this year is definitely not bad.

Ranked first in Europe, SKT was assigned to the group stage. Although they lost two games, they were all narrow defeats, not a crushing game.

In the quarterfinals, they easily defeated C9, the only team in North America. It can be said that they are in full swing and are in the limelight.

This team has been praised by many as the light of Europe in the European Division this year, and it has been the closest to the championship trophy in Europe this year.

This is evident.

IG faces FNC, it’s really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

After a short break, the beautiful host with a big heart from the North American region took the stage.

"Welcome Summoners from all over the world!"

"This is Madison Square Garden in New York!"

"The opening match of the top four of S3, IG will face FNC in the first round!"

"The game is about to begin!"

With an order, everyone was ready and the game officially started.

In the first round of BO5, IG's online offensive intentions were too strong, but FNC seized the opportunity. With several waves of wonderful GANK, IG successfully gained an advantage in the early stage.

In the mid-term, both sides fight around the big and small dragons.

IG's reckless attribute showed up, and they were the first to start a team at a disadvantage, which was far beyond FNC's expectations. They made mistakes in response, but IG put them back at a disadvantage. The two sides' economies on the field were almost equal.

28 minutes.

FNC seized the opportunity and successfully captured the lone position.

Before the posture was about to die, he used all his skills to replace one, but as a result, the situation was urgent and the damage was not dealt out completely, so the intention of changing the head failed.

FNC took this opportunity to decisively kill Baron.

Four members of IG took over the team.

A terrifying battle broke out between the two sides in Dalongkeng.

In the end, a 4-for-3 was played, IG was wiped out, and FNC was left with the top two dragons, and then started to push four and one points.

The situation on the field was very unfavorable for IG, and the situation was completely at a disadvantage.

39 minutes.

The blind jungler of FNC touched his eyes and kicked the kid back with a roundhouse kick. AD was defeated and the IG team battle was completely defeated.

"Congratulations to FNC for knocking down IG's base and taking the lead in scoring a point!"

soon.

The second round begins.

The defeat in the first game affected the mentality of everyone at IG to a certain extent, and the number of mistakes on the field increased significantly. However, FNC did not know what was going on, and they also had frequent flaws.

The two sides started to compete badly.

In the end, IG was superior in skills and not as bad as FNC, and successfully regained one point.

Game 3.

The two teams, which were tied one to one, suddenly adjusted back.

There was no trace of the second game between the two teams.

Even the on-site commentator was doubtful: "What happened? Suddenly he started to enter the power training state? Was the second game really played by these ten people on the field?"

When it's bad, it's rotten to death; when it's good, it's so good that it explodes.

In the third game, the two teams went back and forth, showing off their strong team attitude.

The two sides continued to stalemate until 56 minutes, and the Ancient Dragon refreshed three times before finally ending the game.

FNC successfully secured the victory with Kassadin stealing the tower.

2 to 1!

IG is on the verge of elimination. (End of chapter)
