LoL: I really didn’t mess up!

After the lottery ceremony ended, a large group of people left the scene together. QG, who had just finished the game and not eaten yet, went to a restaurant that had been reserved.

Today was their last day in San Francisco, so of course they needed to have a good meal.

The group first came to Chinatown and listened to the endless Chinese chats in the street. Although most of them were in Cantonese, they were still full of intimacy.

San Francisco's Chinatown is the first in the United States and has the longest history. Along the way, the architectural style maintains Chinese characteristics.

The story of "Ip Man 4" was filmed in this place, but it was two years later.

But that was not their goal. They walked through Chinatown and arrived at the famous Fisherman's Wharf.

As a dock near the sea, the food here is of course mainly seafood. Everyone quickly sat in a restaurant that had been reserved in advance. Chen Dongqing glanced sideways. The Golden Gate Bridge, which often appears in movies and TV shows, was within sight. at.

Well, it's the Golden Gate Bridge that's easily destroyed.

From Chinatown to Fisherman's Wharf to the Golden Gate Bridge, this is a connected tourist route.

After everyone was seated, the restaurant quickly began to serve dishes. Dangenis sea crab, eaten with French sourdough bread, is the most classic combination here.

Chen Dongqing was not too keen on these things, and was still browsing domestic forums while eating.

After the draw for the quarter-finals, the discussion in the anti-bar was lively.

There is no way, this draw is simply too explosive!

Three LPLs versus three LCKs, this is simply a fateful showdown.

Just thinking about it makes me think it’s very effective!

As for whether we can win?

[You don’t really think EDG and the Snakes can beat South Korea’s first and second seeds, do you? 】

[I’m afraid that the factory director will be brutally tortured by Little Peanut.]

[Do you care if he can win? The lottery results are out, support is over]

[Two top eights are enough, better than two top 16s last year, right? 】

[And QG is also very stable. It should be no problem to enter the semi-finals]

[It is too difficult for QG to win the championship. They will kill Samsung in the first round, SKT in the second round, and probably ROX in the third round. Are they trying to kill LCK in one round? 】

Chen Dongqing looked at the comments and couldn't help curling his lips.

Perhaps because of last year’s trough, current LPL viewers don’t even dare to dream boldly.

It’s okay, I will definitely win the championship this year and show it to you.

After eating, it was only nine o'clock. After some discussion, everyone decided to take a bus to the Golden Gate Bridge for a walk.

Because he has been preparing for the group stage and ranking points in the past few days, Chen Dongqing's spirit has been tense.

Now that a group of people can take a few steps on the beach together, everyone seems to be able to relax a little.

"Hey." Uzi suddenly said at this time: "What do you think of this knockout draw?"

Chen Dongqing said casually: "How else can I look at it? Just look at it like this. Although it is indeed very difficult, it is not unacceptable."

"Alas." Uzi sighed, not knowing what to say.

Although he was the world runner-up in S3 and S4, he actually understood that in those two years, he relied on civil war to reach the top.

Moreover, every time he faced an LCK team after entering the finals, he was always beaten. This made Uzi feel a little unsure when facing an LCK team in the S game.

And what about the draw this time? If nothing else happens, the remaining three teams will all be LCK teams, which puts Uzi full of pressure.

As for Uzi's pressure, everyone actually understands it.

Not only him, but also Liu Qingsong, Xiangguo, and Doinb. All three of them are entering the World Championship for the first time, and they all feel huge pressure.

Although QG has been invincible this year, in fact, after the S game, even they themselves are not confident that they can win.

Linko listened to Uzi's words and hesitated to speak.

And Chen Dongqing suddenly said: "If you want to become a champion, you need to defeat all opponents. As for who the opponent is, it doesn't actually matter."

"What's wrong with the Korean team? Is our strength worse than the Korean team?" Chen Dongqing said this and smiled: "If it doesn't work, just believe me. No matter what the situation is, I will stand up and lead you." Winner."

Upon hearing this, the pressure in the hearts of everyone in QG immediately disappeared.

really.

When did Chen Dongqing’s career collapse?

Of course, it was impossible for several teammates to admit this. Xiangguo said firmly: "Your mother, you even put it on!"

"Haha, I don't need you to lead me either!" Uzi also stretched out his fat hand and pointed at the seaside: "Next, we will definitely win all the way!"

Chen Dongqing kindly reminded: "The direction of your hand is pointing in the wrong direction. You have to point in the direction of the mainland. If you point to the sea, we will go directly across the Pacific Ocean and return home."

"Ouch"

Linko relieved himself when he saw the team members, and he finally felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Come on, come on, let me take a group photo for you."

"Come on!"

The Golden Gate Bridge is busy with traffic and brightly lit. Everyone in QG has their backs to the bridge and faces the camera with bright smiles.

Back at the hotel, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Soon the senior brother came over, exchanged team uniforms with the QG fathers, and took photos together.

Chen Dongqing went back to his room first, folded his senior brother's uniform and put it in his suitcase, then went to the training room and started the computer.

Tomorrow they have to fly to Chicago, and today is the last day in this training room.

Chen Dongqing logged into the US server and immediately opened the rankings to take a look. He had to see how many points were left behind him and Faker.

Today is his game day, and Faker is resting, so the score may be increased a lot.

First place: mid faker - 980 points.

Second place: 2016TOP1——950 points.

kindness! ?

Chen Dongqing was suddenly shocked.

He clearly remembered that when he went out in the morning, Faker was still at 1,050 points. Why did he suddenly drop by 70 points?

At this time, an account named "Wang Ho" in the friend list sent him a private message: "".

Because he often uses a Chinese-Korean translator, Chen Dongqing knows that this is a symbol used to express laughter in Korean.

Chen Dongqing clicked on Faker's record page and took a look, and saw an eye-catching red.

Seven games a day, win one and lose six.

In the six games he lost, Little Peanut contributed to four of them. In the end, it was clear that Faker himself was heartbroken. In the last game, he contributed a 1-5 snake girl, which brought him joy. After 980 points, I went to draw lots.

Now Chen Dongqing suddenly understood what surprise Xiaohuatuan told him.

I also understand why Faker’s expression was so serious during the draw.

It's hard not to be serious.

Chen Dongqing couldn't help laughing immediately, and started to send a message through the translator: "Awesome! Wanghu!"

"" Little Peanut was still laughing, and then said: "Come on, we will be the first one today!"

Chen Dongqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after reading the news: "You and Faker are both from the same competition region, why do you want to help me?"

"It doesn't matter if we compete in different regions or not." Little Peanut typed: "I just don't want to see Faker reach the top. I've been disgusted by his fans recently."

Chen Dongqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

Because they have won the most championships, SKT has the largest, yet most terrifying and extreme fan group in the LCK, dominating the entire LCK.

ROX, which has been against SKT for a whole year this year but has no fan base, is obviously the main output target of SKT fans.

Now that Faker has suppressed ROX in the US server rankings, he is naturally arrogant and provocative.

But the key is that Faker in S6 is really strong, and his dominance in ranked games is unexplainable. Little Peanut is really unable to catch up in solo queue. After chasing for more than half a month, he is still behind by a hundred points.

The single row cannot catch up, and the double row cannot win.

So, Little Peanut decided to recruit foreign aid!

"Okay!" Chen Dongqing replied with a smile, and immediately started the game. Faker's account happened to be offline at this time, which was a good opportunity to steal the chicken!

But as soon as the idea came up, Faker's account came online and quickly entered the queue.

When Chen Dongqing saw this scene, not only was he not annoyed, but he became even more excited.

There is still 30 points between him and Faker, and it takes two to surpass him.

But things will be different after Faker comes online.

As long as you can defeat Faker head-on, you can reach the top of the US server!

Soon, the queue came in.

Chen Dongqing first took a look at the friend list and saw that Faker was selecting a hero.

At the same time, he looked at the chat information in the lower left corner.

"Wang Ho joined the team chat"

"2016TOP15 joined the team chat"

And Faker's ID did not appear in it!

Chen Dongqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

coming!

At this time, Doinb also shouted excitedly: "OK, OK, if you win this game, you will reach the top, right?"

At this time, the bans of both sides took action quickly. There was a passerby on the first floor of his house. The ban was purely based on his mood. Chen Dongqing did not understand English and could not communicate with him, so he saw him banning Sindra. Monk, Leopard Girl, these are the powerful heroes in this version.

On the other side, the ban positions are a bit interesting: "Sword Queen, Riven, Jace."

And immediately after, Victor was selected on the opposite floor.

With such an obvious ban target, and then choosing a mid lane hero, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the opponent on the first floor.

"Damn, this is so big." Chen Dongqing couldn't help pouting, "Ban my hero, right?"

But Chen Dongqing also has a solution.

Choose Kled again!

In the ranked matches with Faker, who do you need to say more about?

Just do it in the middle and you're done!

Soon, the game started, and Little Peanut selected Olaf, and directly started a mid-field linkage with Doinb.

Although these two people are not on the same team, they all have one thing in common, that is, there is a top laner in the team.

They all have a lot of experience in protecting the road, so the linkage is quite smooth!

Little Peanut hit three quick draws at the beginning. Although he failed to succeed, he was not discouraged. He went back to brush two groups of junglers and hit again at level four!

This time, he successfully caught Faker's flash.

Doinb, who relied on Wild Dad to get the line rights, seized the opportunity to push the line aggressively. At five minutes, he pushed the line into the tower, and then caught a wave with Little Peanut on the road!

Chen Dongqing didn't have to do anything, he just lay back and collected his head.

Chen Dongqing, who enjoys the emperor-level treatment, is also unambiguous and takes advantage of the situation to feed his teammates. After level 6, Kled rushes towards the middle and directly kills Faker who did not dodge!

The upper, middle and junglers help each other, and the advantage quickly expands!

And Chen Dongqing was too lazy to fight the passers-by on the other side, so he just stared at Faker!

If you have a big move, just rush in. If you don't have a big move, come over and flash for flash, then wait for the big move and continue charging!

Faker was stunned by Kled, and quickly reached a record of 1-5, recreating the snake girl.

After completely destroying Faker, Chen Dongqing turned his target to the top lane and completed another tower-crossing solo kill. Peanut and Doinb then used four packs and two bottom lanes to directly kill the opponent's bottom lane which was gaining momentum. .

Three-way advantage, the game is easily controlled!

+22!

【mission completed! 】

[Task reward: 4000 points! (Only once)]

Achieved the first place in the US server, and got the points reward smoothly!

Chen Dongqing nodded with satisfaction, said hello to Little Peanut, and then came to the US server ranking interface.

First place: 2016TOP1-972 points.

Second place: mid faker - 965 points.

Chen Dongqing took a screenshot and sent it to the WeChat group of the World Championship team, and immediately received a lot of praise.

Flandre: "Brother Shu is awesome!"

lwx: "Brother Shu is awesome!"

Linko: "Brother Shu is awesome!"

Chen Dongqing looked at the praise, first closed the LOL client, and then typed happily: "Low-key, low-key."

He is indeed quite low-key and doesn't bother to post on Weibo or anything. After all, for professional players, ranking scores are really nothing and not worth bragging about.

Of course, someone will do it for him.

The moment Chen Dongqing reached the top of the US server, many fans started posting on major e-sports forums.

[How do you evaluate Brother Shu’s seven-day climb to the top of the US server? (picture)】

【What the hell? real or fake? 】

[I saw it, it’s true, I’ve reached the top]

[The speed at which this point is reached is off the charts, and the winning rate is still close to 80% until we reach the top]

[I fell from gold five to silver one in seven days, and he climbed from zero to the top in seven days. I can't accept it]

[The key is that he has been quite aggressive these days, playing nearly twenty games every day]

[Just to vent our anger on LPL! Brother Shu is so gentle, I cried to death! 】

[According to Brother Shu’s winning rate, he won’t stop until he reaches 2,000 points? 】

[Trivia: Shuge US server PUBG has been launched again]

【? ? ? 】

At this time, it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening.

In the SKT training room, Faker was sitting in front of the computer, his head hurting from anger.

He was really fucked today by Little Peanut, the B-target!

Line up to the opposite side again and again, and grab the middle every time!

How to play this Gou Ba?

And this time it’s even more extreme. Not only the jungler, but also the top laner Kled is here to catch him. Isn’t this game allowed to be played?

The only Li brother, Li Zaiwan, was still looking at the ranking list while chewing potato chips. He said happily: "Sang Hyuk, your number one is gone!"

"I know!" Faker was furious. Seeing that Xiaohuatuan's account had been offline, he started the game again.

Without the obstruction of Little Peanut, Faker won quite smoothly this time and took the first place back into his hands. This was like a letter of challenge, launching a battle for the first place against Chen Dongqing.

But the stone fell into the sea.

The account 2016TOP has also turned gray and will no longer bounce.

It seemed that Chen Dongqing just came here to prove that he was capable of winning the first place. After winning the first place, he turned around and left without any nostalgia.

Faker only felt a tightness in his chest that couldn't be vented. Even if he got the first place, he couldn't feel even the slightest bit of happiness.

Uncomfortable!

The next morning, the eight teams got ready and took the same flight to Chicago.

This is a journey from the western part of the United States to the central part of the United States. The entire flight takes nearly four hours. Although it is long, it is still much better than the previous twelve hours.

After the plane landed, Chen Dongqing immediately felt a cool breeze blowing, which could even make people feel a bit chilly. It didn't look like October at all.

Because Chicago is close to the curved shore of Lake Michigan, the special terrain causes the cool lake breeze to continuously blow into the city, so it is known as the "Windy City".

At that time, Derrick Rose, the youngest regular season MVP in the NBA, was called the "Windy City Rose" because he played for the Chicago Bulls, and Rose means rose in English.

Of course, Chicago has another title, called "Sin City", which is also the prototype of GTA San Andreas.

When you think about the skin color of the main character in San Andreas, it's not hard to think about why the crime rate in Chicago is so high.

On the 12th, all major teams came to the arena under the organization of Riot Games. While getting familiar with the venue, they filmed some interviews.

The venue for the quarterfinals is the Chicago Theater, one of the three major theaters in the United States. It can accommodate 4,000 people, which is not too big.

At this time, the interior of the theater has been transformed into the shape of League of Legends, with large screens and computers, everything is available.

On the 13th, after lunch time, someone visited the hotel on the floor belonging to LPL.

Doll Miller and other commentators, as well as several hosts, all came together to cheer on the three teams.

Chen Dongqing, on the other hand, seized the opportunity and chatted with Lin Xianhua on the sidelines.

"Be careful here." Chen Dongqing reminded: "Don't go out at night, it's very dangerous."

Lin Xianhua smiled and said: "Don't worry, I haven't gone out at night since I came to North America. I have always been in the hotel."

After saying that, Lin Xianhua added: "It's you, come on for the next game! Your game is on the 17th, right?"

Chen Dongqing smiled and nodded.

The four games in the quarterfinals were not played in order, but were played alternately. The first game was played by Flash Wolves and CLG in the top half, and the next day it was the turn of SKT and Snake in the bottom half.

But no matter how you arrange it, QG, who is in the second game in the bottom half, will play on the last day.

Of course, this is not an advantage. The result is that after the semi-finals, they have to take the lead.

"Come on, come on!" Lin Xianhua clenched her fists, "I will be the interviewer on the day of your competition. I hope the person being interviewed is you!"

"Don't worry." Chen Dongqing was also very confident.

If nothing else, he is still confident of being a three-star player.

Next to them, the people from QG and the commentary and hosting team looked at the two people chatting and looked away tacitly.

Although these two people have not made an official announcement or told others, they know it well.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the commentary and hosting team was ready to retreat.

The players and commentators were not in the same hotel, so they had to go back to the hotel while it was still dark.

Chen Dongqing nodded, waved to Lin Xianhua, and said, "See you on the stage!"

"Bye!" Lin Xianhua also waved.

On the side, Miller Doll and others also waved their hands in good faith, "Brother Shu, come on for the next game!"

On October 14, the quarter-finals finally started.

The two teams this time are FW and CLG.

Of the four games played by these two teams this time, it can be said to be the one with the least attention.

Although this is a North American home stadium, so there are a lot of North American spectators at the scene, but after all, e-sports competitions are still mainly broadcast online. For global audiences, the battle between China and South Korea is obviously more interesting.

In today's game, Wolf King Karsa rubbed his hands. Standing on such a big stage, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

As for the outcome of the game, he can only leave it to fate.

As soon as the first game started, CLG got their best classic combination of grasshopper + policewoman. In this game, CLG played a pretty good offense. Huhi directly destroyed the Flash Wolf mid laner Maple.

The collapse in the middle also greatly affected Karsa's jungle area. Although he helped the team ease the situation by counter-crouching, manpower was sometimes exhausted. CLG finally seized the defensive loopholes of Flash Wolves and established an advantage with a wave of attacks. !

In the end, it took CLG thirty minutes to bulldoze the FW base!

In the subsequent games, although Flash Wolves struggled to regain a victory, the overall strength was still superior to CLG.

Three to one, North America's last hope CLG struggled to advance to the semi-finals!

October 15th.

The game moved to the second half, with SKT and Snake taking the lead.

Chen Dongqing also met everyone from the Snake Team during the morning meal and asked them what they thought.

But everyone in the Snake Team is open-minded. Their attitude is that it is not easy to reach the top eight. As for the top four, they will try their best.

So in today's game, the Snakes had all their cards. Holy Spear Brother even pulled out Jace, whom he had been practicing hard for a long time and specifically learned from Chen Dongqing.

In this game, Jess performed extremely well and even single-killed Duke's Gnar on the top lane!

At this time, Duke recalled the fear of being dominated by a certain Jayce at MSI.

As for the bottom lane, SKT's situation is not optimistic. When the Snakes get Zyra in the bottom lane, even if SKT gets the most confident EZ Karma combination, they are no match for the bottom lane!

In a wave of laning in nine minutes, Snake Zyra and Jhin's combination of punches directly knocked SKT home from the bottom lane, and at the same time forced out Wolf's flash!

Seizing this opportunity, SofM decisively grabbed it and successfully caught the wolf who did not dodge. At the same time, he helped Brother Crystal demolish the bottom tower!

Seeing this, you should understand something.

Snake triple C, all in good condition in this game!

Even Chen Dongqing was a little excited. He didn't expect Snake to launch such a rapid offensive!

In the next game, Snake's offensive rhythm remained the same. Although SKT's defensive counterattack ability is first-rate, Snake has the key point of Jayce!

Jayce + Jhin was QG's answer to SKT's turtle lineup, and this time, Snake reproduced it perfectly!

The defensive towers were dismantled one after another, and the dragons were taken down one by one, and the advantage became greater and greater.

However, SKT's defensive counterattack ability is also top-notch. Although they have been dropping towers, they have also replaced a lot of defensive towers through Duke's single belt.

Duke's Gnar's performance in this game was outstanding. Although he was single-killed in the lane, his role became greater after he performed ice punch and black cut. While single-handedly pulling out towers, he also attracted a lot of attention. force!

The first game lasted until 48 minutes.

From this point on, the rhythm was a little off.

All we can say is that SKT is still SKT after all.

After reaching the late stage, the suppression power of Jace and Jhin has become slightly exhausted. With both sides having six gods, the economic advantage is meaningless.

Soon, Faker stood up.

Victor seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, and under the crazy laser fire, he led SKT to complete the comeback!

"Alas" Chen Dongqing sighed, "Snake Team tried their best."

This Snake Team has performed quite well, and even led by 7,000 gold in the mid-term!

But no matter what, it still fell short.

In the next two games, the Snakes were not able to play as smoothly as they did in the first game, and could not even gain an advantage.

Duke avenged his humiliation in the last two games. He first used Kennen against Poppy, giving him a huge advantage, and then used Sword Girl to fight against Kennen, winning the same battle!

In these two games, Duke's single belt was still getting everything he wanted from the wing, even more dazzling than Faker!

So the next plot is no surprise. SKT defeated Snake 3-0 and advanced to the semi-finals first!

Regarding this defeat, the LPL audience did not feel anything wrong except lamenting that the LCK top laner was still strong.

After all, they are the third seed. They have already been very successful in the quarterfinals, and Snake has also broken through the high ground of SKT. This is something that EDG has never done.

"It's a pity that Snake ended up in the quarterfinals after all!" I remember sighing in the commentary box: "But as the third seed of the LPL, they played their own style! The whole world remembers such a team!

"Next, let us shift our expectations to EDG and QG! Their story continues!"

October 16th.

ROX vs. EDG.

Before the start of the quarter-finals, Aguang had to return to China due to an unexpected incident at home, so EDG's starting top laner in this game was koro1.

The core of this game is of course the two junglers. One of them is TOP4 and the other is TOP5. They are the No. 1 and No. 2 junglers in the world respectively. The game between the two sides in the jungle should be the most exciting point.

But if you come to the game with such expectations, you will definitely be disappointed.

Because in this game, the junglers of both sides created the largest matchup gap in the history of the S game.

In the first game of Factory Director, Olaf jumped over the tower and stepped on the trap without opening the big move. He only activated his ultimate move after the trap control was over, highlighting a stupid one. In the later team battles, he opened the big move and went shopping without anyone having an A.

In the second game, the horses and men were close to each other. Every time a team fight is used, the ultimate move is used to escape, and teammates use the grass to return to the city.

Although he won the third game with difficulty, he mainly won with Deft's ultimate carry. Factory Director's Olaf did not gain any advantage in the hands of Little Peanut's blind monk.

Not to mention the fourth game. Little Peanut directly performed forehand and backhand teaching, teaching you how to use Olaf to beat the blind monk, and then hit the eternal classic of 4396.

In just four games, Little Peanut proved who is the best jungler in the world!

"On this day last year, no one knew who Peanut was!" The three people in the North American commentary booth shouted excitedly: "At this time this year, everyone recognizes that Peanut is the king of the jungle!"

"Let us congratulate ROX tiger for becoming the third team to advance to the semi-finals!"

When the game saw this, the live broadcast room was already in an explosion. They looked at a certain mysterious number in the settlement list after the game and started to swipe the screen like crazy!

And the major e-sports forums are also full of hostility.

For those teams that have been eliminated, Kangba will never be stingy with its firepower.

As long as you don't curse the plane crash and don't harm your family, you can spray whatever you want.

【4396? No shame! 】

[The abandoned factory should really retire. It is so good in domestic competitions, but it is really broken at the touch of a ball abroad! 】

[My suggestion is don’t fly, just swim back]

[Swimming the Pacific Ocean is too strenuous. I will give you a route. You can go east, swim from the Atlantic Ocean back to Europe, and then come back via the Silk Road. This will save you effort]

The factory director who scored 4396 naturally became the target of the first episode.

The hot targets in the second episode are mouse and koro1.

One of them was labeled as "escape from the battle", and the other was beaten as RBQ by Smeb. The matchup difference was not inferior to that of the jungler.

Smeb had Jace in one game, Kennen in one game, Sword Queen in one game, and Big Tree in one game. They all pressed more than 40 knives on each other, and the entire BO5 defeated Korol by 160 knives.

In addition, the gap at the data level is even greater.

Seeing this, fans finally realized that the top laner in the LPL was actually not that strong. The only one who was strong was ilex.

[I have said it a long time ago, after the S game, the Korean team will be invincible, waiting for QG to be beaten by Samsung]

[Can Han Za die quickly? Did you say that QG was beaten by Samsung? 】

[Brother Shu’s top lane level is set at this, he can’t be beaten by wither, right? 】

[I believe QG is finished. With their record this year, it is absolutely impossible for them to reach the quarterfinals]

While LPL fans were disappointed and angry, they had to turn their attention to the last team.

The last ray of light, QG!

There is a little less today. The knockout round will start tomorrow. I will try my best to finish the first game.
