LoL: I really didn’t mess up!

September 12th.

The LPL Summer Third Place Tournament has begun.

It's still QG's home court. The losers of the first two semi-finals, EDG and FPX, meet today to compete for third place.

Everyone at FPX is still very confident about this game.

The reverse version is the reverse version, this thing will at most affect their upper limit. Even if they reverse the version, their lower limit is still there.

Can you still lose against EDG?

EDG is no longer as simple as a reverse version. With their current staffing, they cannot perform in any version.

In today's BO5 battle, both sides first won one game each and tied one to one. Then FPX suddenly exerted force and ended the game three to one.

At the end of the fourth game, Doinb excitedly pushed the e-sports chair behind him and started monkey punching excitedly on the stage!

This is the second time QG and IG have met in the finals this year. Both teams have enough points. No matter who wins or loses, they will lock in the first and second seeds.

Other teams need to compete for the final third seed through the qualifiers.

FPX, who were third in both spring and summer, have the third-highest points in the LPL. Their situation in the qualifiers is the best. They will sit at the bottom and only need to win a BO5 to advance to S8!

Doinb believes that no matter how bad their FPX team is, they will still be fine in the World Championship.

In the audience, the fans were all a little emotional.

The little piggies were even more heartbroken.

Since the establishment of S4, EDG has not achieved any results in the World Championship and has entered the top eight every year, but it has entered the World Championship every year.

If you can't fight a foreign war, you have to catch up on the civil war, right?

But this year, I was stepped on by QG, ​​abused by IG, and hung up by FPX.

This year's EDG probably really won't be able to enter the World Championship.

At this time, Chen Dongqing has arrived in Nanjing with the team, and the final will start in Nanjing.

In the training room of the hotel, Chen Dongqing felt a little embarrassed after watching the entire game.

Many people say that EDG is the benchmark for the LPL. When they dominate the LPL, that's when the LPL is at its most disadvantaged. When they pull their hips, it is the time when LPL is at its peak.

This statement is a bit embarrassing and cannot be called a conclusion, but it is indeed a rule summarized based on the past records of LPL and EDG.

After all, EDG's gameplay and management model are here to limit the upper and lower limits of this team. They will not be too weak, but they will not be too strong either.

If this team can reach the top of the LPL, it means that the overall strength of the LPL this year is indeed not that good.

If EDG can't even make it to the World Championship this year, then the overall strength of this year's LPL cannot be ignored.

In this year’s World Championship, there is a high probability that there will be a big wave in the LPL.

Chen Dongqing closed the web page, took out his mobile phone and started browsing Tieba again.

As soon as I walked in, I saw many barbers showing off their skills to this year's European and American lineup.

Due to the delay in training and schedule of the Asian Games, the summer games in several Asian divisions have been delayed for a long time.

In North America and Europe, their games have long ended, and even their spots in the World Championship have been settled.

The three European teams participating in the World Championship are FNC, VIT, and G2, while the North American teams are TL, 100T, and C9.

For these six teams, the comments of the friends are - the flying dance of spring.

[When I looked at the team name and the player IDs, they were all old acquaintances. I felt very relieved about them]

[Did Team B of G2 fall to the third seed this year? Can’t even understand Europe? No team can really lose to G2, right? 】

[These six teams should strive to enter the semi-finals this year]

[I think the top four are a bit difficult. European and American teams play impart every day, and their hands are weak. The top eight is considered a success]

[I’ve watched all the European and American finals, and they were basically noobs pecking each other. When I met QGIG, I guess they were all hung up and beaten]

[It’s natural for QG to beat Europe and the United States, what about your IG? 】

[Laughing to death, the last time IG entered the World Championship, I was beaten by FNC until I surrendered on National Day. This time I look down on Europe and the United States. Do I have the qualifications?]

[The past was before and now is now. Is the current IG the same as before? 】

【I can't say】

Seeing the discussion among the bar friends, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but feel happy.

It can be seen that with the rise of IG this year, the dog sons in the Kangba have also begun to gradually recover.

After all, Kangba was originally created to blackmail WE, and in ancient times, IG has always been fighting against WE. Among the people who blacklisted WE, Gouzi accounted for a large part.

And because of the excellent results of the LPL in recent years, those veteran players are still quite active now.

Those players have been well preserved until now. They saw that IG actually completed its rise in S8, and they also resurrected one after another.

These players were quite arrogant in the forum, and they started discussing the finals the day after tomorrow.

[I have one thing to say, I am purely neutral, but I think the final is really 50-50! 】

[Indeed, IG also double-killed QG in the regular season. Why should I lose in the finals? 】

[What about the hammer? QG's big daddy didn't play in the regular season at all. Is that the same thing? 】

[Why is it not the same thing? At most, QG is dominant in the upper and lower lanes, and IG is also dominant in the middle and jungle, so it can be beaten]

[Haha, the son of a bitch is really capable of obscenity. He is even 50-50 with QG. If IG can reach the fourth game then, it will be regarded as his success.]

[Not much to say, just wait for QG to win the sixth consecutive championship]

Chen Dongqing looked at the post and couldn't help grinning.

Obviously, no matter how deep Gouzi's background is, he still can't compare with QG. In the pre-game discussion, Gouzi was suppressed.

This is of course not surprising.

QG has not lost in the past three years. They are fans accumulated from each victory. They have enjoyed the largest traffic since the LPL cake became bigger. What kind of championship do you have on IG? What do the fans use to win?

"Let's go, Chen Dongqing." Linko urged from the side: "Go and record the interview and promotional video first. After recording, let's go have a meal of Nanjing salted duck."

"Okay!" Chen Dongqing stood up and walked to his room, put on his summer uniform, and ran to the stadium with his teammates.

Time flies, and two days pass in the blink of an eye.

The time has come to September 14th.

At nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, a long queue formed at the entrance of the Youth Olympic Sports Park venue. Countless men and women entered the venue one after another, filling all the more than 20,000 seats under the venue.

After the Asian Games, the enthusiasm for domestic e-sports became even higher. The LPL Summer Finals that followed the Asian Games attracted the largest traffic. Tickets for the finals even sold out within ten seconds of going on sale, and scalpers even speculated on the tickets. At a sky-high price!

Lin Xianhua entered the venue as an internal employee, found her seat in the front row, and watched countless people coming and going on the stage, making final preparations for the opening ceremony.

On the big screen at the scene, the comment box screen hosted by Remember was playing. The three people in the comment box were making predictions about the outcome of the two teams based on the data.

"I have to say, IG's data in this summer split is great!" I remember I couldn't help but marvel at this data: "Their average length of time per game is shorter, but the average number of kills per game is more, and the average damage per game is It's even further ahead! It's almost the word "fight" taken to the extreme!"

"QG actually loses in terms of statistics. This is the first time we have seen this!" Wang Duoduo couldn't help laughing: "Of course, we also know that QG did not have Brother Shu in the first half of the regular season. Since the lineup is incomplete, this data has no reference value!"

"Of course, this data does add a touch of uncertainty to this final!" I remember saying at the end: "Who will win today? Let's watch a short video first. After the short video, the final begins!"

The promotional video for the final was still the same as before. It started with an aerial shot over Nanjing, and soon cut to a close-up of the room. The contestants from both sides emerged one after another in the darkness, and finally all took the stage, looking at each other seriously from the left and right sides of the screen.

After the promotional video ended, the host Ren Dong stepped onto the stage and shouted loudly: "Okay, welcome to the 2018 LPL Summer Finals! This is the Nanjing Youth Olympic Sports Park venue!"

"After more than three months of long fighting, this summer's competition has finally come to an end! Now two teams have stood out from the league and stood on this stage!"

Ren Dong waved his hand and shouted: "First of all, let us invite this year's dark horse! IG!"

"Top laner TheShy! Jungle laner Ning! Mid laner Rookie! Bottom laner JackeyLove! Support Baolan!"

Five teenagers wearing white uniforms walked onto the stage from the left side of the stage, with excited smiles on their faces. They were obviously looking forward to this game!

Ren Dong then shouted: "Next, let's invite the other team in the finals, QG!"

The cheers from the audience ushered in the first wave of explosions!

"Top order! iiiiiilex!!!"

Ren Dong prolonged his tone, and the audience's voices became louder and louder!

It's no exaggeration. There may be a lot of idiots in the audience who support IG.

But they will definitely give Chen Dongqing the same applause.

As the face of the current LPL and even Chinese e-sports, Chen Dongqing is simply too perfect.

As long as they watch the game seriously, no one will have any objections to Chen Dongqing.

"Jungle mlxg! The mid laner is cancelled! Bottom lane Uzi! Assist Ming!"

Amid the voices of countless spectators, QG players also stepped onto the stage from the other side of the stage.

"Next, let's invite the players from both sides to take their seats! Get ready for the game to begin! Will QG continue its legend and win an unprecedented six consecutive LPL championships, or will IG's dark horse counterattack and win the first championship in team history! Let's look forward to it together!"

After a few words, the contestants from both sides took their seats, and Ren Dong left the stage!

The camera quickly cut to the commentary box. Today's commentary lineup is Doll Miller and Guan Zeyuan. The three of them smiled at the camera and were looking forward to the final of this game.

The three of them turned the topic to the next BP, and everyone was talking about it. They felt that QG's BP did not seem to be dominant.

As we all know, QG has a key winning weapon, which is the hero pool of Shuang Daddy. Shuang Daddy's vast and fierce hero pool gives the team an advantage in BP, and even Abulai can BP decently.

But against IG, QG's advantage seems to no longer exist.

Sword Queen, Akali, Jess, Sword Girl.

Xialuo, Verus, policewoman.

QG can do it, IG can do it.

IG even has a unique Enchantress in the middle, and a Draven in the bottom lane, which QG does not have.

After careful calculation, QG actually suffered more!

"Of course, the hero pool is one thing, and the upper limit of different heroes that players control is another thing." Wawa listened to the message in the headset and smiled: "What is BP like? We still have to wait for the coaches of both sides. You’ll only know when we fight!”

As soon as Wawa finished speaking, the BP panel cut in.

Miller seized this opportunity and immediately spoke out the news he had heard in the earphones: "According to the information we received, the QG team won the pre-game coin guessing session, so they have one, three, five rounds. Pick a side and choose the blue side position for yourself at the start!”

"We can see that QG has already banned Galio for himself!"

The combination of Green Steel Shadow Galio was discovered by QG and carried forward. This combination is usually used in the red side's first and second hands. As the blue side's QG, of course it must be restricted.

On the other side, IG's people seemed to be well prepared, and their choice was to ban Akali!

"There is no need to say more about the choice of Akali. Brother Shu picked it up in the last game of the Asian Games finals and performed horribly! And he was occasionally selected in the playoffs and performed horribly!" Miller He smiled and said: "If nothing else happens, this hero will probably not be released by IG no matter what."

Immediately after the second move, both sides banned Poppy and Sword Girl respectively.

In fact, TheShy really wanted to choose Jian Ji to compete with Chen Dongqing. He had done this before, but the results were very bad, so now IG's coaching staff no longer believes in him, so they will honestly send him. ban bit.

"Then the last move, the choice for both sides is to ban Jess and Dao Mei!" Watanago analyzed with his arms crossed: "QG bans Jess, this is quite rare!"

The logic of self-banning Jess is not difficult to understand. QG's Jess can only be taken on the top lane. Although he is powerful, he also has restraints.

As for IG's Jess, he can swing up and down. Rookie and TheShy are both Jess's unique skills. Combined with their red side positions, Jess will be difficult to deal with, so banning is the best option.

As for the other side, there's nothing to say. Chen Dongqing's sword girl is very scary and should be banned.

"Then, entering the selection stage, QG locked the Sword Demon with the first hand, and IG locked the Ice Gatam with the backhand!"

Ice and Tam are the bottom lane combination that IG likes very much. There is nothing interesting about this combination. Ice is a tool AD ​​with excellent mechanics. Tahm is assisting Ice by slowing down while pulling, and ensuring the bottom lane by eating with one hand. road safety.

This choice was expected, and QG took advantage of the situation to lock in Kai'Sa and Rakan as a response.

Subsequently, IG determined Ryze, the midfielder, and entered the second round of BP.

After entering the second round, the goals of both sides were clear. QG chose to ban Zach and Olaf, giving both ban positions to the jungler.

IG, on the other hand, banned Zoe and Syndra, hoping to limit Xiaohu's roaming linkage.

Immediately following the fourth move, IG locked Xin Zhao and left the top lane choice until the end.

"Come on Brother Shu, what top laner do you want to play?" Banbazi asked in the soundproof room: "Xiaohu can use the mid laner Sword Demon to beat Ryze, and you can play a smooth top laner. Of course you can also play Sword Demon Okay, Xiaohu’s BP can be more comfortable.”

When Chen Dongqing heard this, he smiled and said: "What's there to say? Just give me Sword Demon. I can play anything anyway. It will be good for both of us if you make Li Yuanhao's BP comfortable! He can't beat him. opposite!"

When Xiaohu heard this, his face turned red and his neck thickened, and he choked: "What do you mean, I can't beat the opponent! I can obviously beat him!"

At this time, Xiangguo stabbed ruthlessly: "Haha, I'm too lazy to say more. If you can beat us, we won't be double-killed in the regular season."

Xiaohu stopped talking now. He thought for a long time and finally decided to lock in an Ice Lady to fight against Ryze, and then choose the blind monk in the jungle to make up for the damage in the middle and jungle!

"Now let's see what heroes IG will use to fight Brother Shu's Sword Demon!" Watanabe said, "Actually, there aren't many top heroes out there anymore!"

As soon as Wawa finished speaking, IG's last hero was confirmed.

Qinggangying!

"Oh, TheShy!" Senior Colonel Guan exclaimed again in the commentary box, "TheShy is still very energetic today! He has created such a hero!"

At this point, the heroes of both sides are determined.

Blue square QG: Sword Demon in the top lane, Blind Sin in the jungle, Ice Girl in the mid lane, and Kasha Gallo in the bottom lane.

Red side IG: top laner Qinggangying, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Ryze, bottom laner Ice Gatam.

The structures of the two lineups are highly similar, with a tool mid laner, a meaty jungler, and a carry-type top laner.

"It's not hard to see that this will be a battle in the first half of the game!"

Miller looked at the lineup and analyzed it: "IG and QG, the two strongest teams in the top half of our LPL, used their best playing style in the first game of the finals!"

"Then which side can win this one, let us look forward to it together!"

I won’t write too much about this final, the highlight is the confrontation with IG in the World Championship (end of this chapter)
