LOL: This man is so strong!

At around 6 p.m. on October 8, Snake had dinner at the Park Hyatt Hotel restaurant in Haeundae District, Busan.

The members of IG and RNG are also there.

Li Hao, Flando, and Da Mingming sat around a small round table.

While Flandre was munching on the last fried chicken leg luxuriously, the fat man behind him stretched.

"There's only one day left, how are you preparing?"

"Just so-so."

After hearing this, Uzi poked Li Hao with some disbelief:

"So-so?"

"Why are you so fierce in training matches recently? I even wonder if you are on drugs."

Before Li Hao could answer, Flandre turned her head with a smile: "It's true that she was on drugs."

"Brother Hao took my medicine and was unable to stop the car during training."

Uzi looked unbelieving.

Flandre nudged him with her elbow and said maliciously: "I brought back a few bottles of essential oil from Jakarta last time, and they were very effective. Do you want to try them?"

Suddenly, Uzi burst into laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

"Holy spear + essential oil, this and this."

"Made, what are you thinking!"

…

"There will be a game the day after tomorrow. I hope everyone goes well in the group stage."

"Yeah, let's try to get first place in the group. We'll see you in the semi-finals."

"good!"

"Brother Hao, we'll let you down in the training match, but we're going to get serious about it in the knockout round."

Teacher Guo was all smiles.

Li Hao also responded with a smile: "Okay, let the horse come over."

"There's no horse, so I'll let the dog over, and it's a crazy puppy."

"Fuck!" Uzi and Xiang Guo got into a fight. The dog concubine and Uzi on the side bullied Teacher Guo together.

The group games start soon, but the LPL side is quite relaxed.

After this period of training, everyone has a certain understanding.

On October 9, Snake was invited by the LCK team to play a training match with Samsung in the same group.

Before 20 minutes, GEN played GG in advance.

Chris felt a little strange:

"What's going on with Samsung?"

"Their condition in the training match was very poor the day before yesterday. Are you deliberately showing weakness?"

Li Hao shook his head: "It's not enough to show weakness, maybe it's simply because of poor condition. On October 2nd, they almost lost to INF in the qualifying round. If not for the strength of Ruler Emperor, Samsung would really lose. Latin American Team.”

"I think so too."

Casa said: "This GEN is in good shape right now. Others are unusually stretched. Corejj's performance is not as good as in the Asian Games."

"This is not the version where the ruler can carry."

Flandre and the others also participated in the discussion on this issue, and the training room suddenly became buzzing.

Li Hao is very clear about Samsung's situation.

Last season's solo kill king has withered and lost this season. It has something to do with the version. The current solo kill lineup is not as OP as before because the driving heroes, including Ryze, Tahm, Rockbird, and Nightmare, are all very strong. Also, the strength has indeed declined. This season, it has withered and has no place in the LCK top lane.

Leader An can no longer be beaten now. The young jungler Haru and EDG's new jungler Haru not only have similar names, but also similar styles. Not to mention the operation, the carnivorous jungler plays well, but the shortcomings are also obvious. , has no ideas and no overall view of the command. This is actually very fatal for Samsung at this time, because the middle and jungle are closely connected, and Brother Crown is no longer the same Brother Crown.

If Crown Brother hadn't changed his position yet, and there wasn't so much pressure on the line, and he had the energy to give Haru some command, his jungle level would definitely go up a notch. This is very similar to EDG's Haro. He often wanders around in the jungle because the current junior is not a commanding mid laner.

Last season, Crown Brother not only had the unique skill of grasshopper, but also the support of Yanque was in place. Although he was pressed, he was able to hold his own. This season, he was a little unable to withstand it and was often killed alone.

Corejj is also declining, Samsung really relies on Ruler.

Therefore, such Samsung will be trained hard when encountering RNG, let alone facing Snake at this time.

They once had a world championship, with three-star white stars shining brightly, but that was all in the past, and now they are not on the same level as Snake.

…

Busan BEXCO, also known as Busan Convention and Exhibition Center, was the main venue for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup group activities and the Busan Asian Cup.

For example, Vit mid laner Jiizuke, who came to the venue at this time, didn't like this place a little because he is Italian.

At around 3:30 in the afternoon, more than 4,000 spectators were seated at the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center. In addition to the local LCK spectators, many spectators from other competition regions also came. After all, this is the World Championship, which is the most valuable and highest-level competition in the league's e-sports. , there are admiring audiences from all over the world.

On the big screen, against a hazy blue background, the numbers started jumping down from 10.

When the camera panned to the venue, there was only a faint red light in the auditorium, making the stage extraordinarily bright.

"Viewers, what you are watching now is the opening ceremony of the 2018 League of Legends Global Finals Group Stage, and what is about to be followed is the trophy return ceremony."

"Following the countdown, the ceremony is about to begin."

Many domestic viewers are staring at their mobile phones and computer screens, and they can hear Wang Duoduo's voice constantly ringing in their ears.

After the special effect of "Riot" smashing the screen with a punch, the camera showed three magician sculptures with glowing blue magic balls in their hands. The atmosphere had just been heightened, and the camera turned to the right again, and a familiar figure appeared.

It is LCK Roaring Emperor Quan Yongjun.

This man was born in 1972 and joined OGN in 1999. From 2012 to 2018, he has never been absent for seven years. Whenever the finals start, you can always hear the passionate roar of the Roaring Emperor, igniting the enthusiasm of the audience at the finals!

Even domestic players have no dislike for this OGN uncle who can remain neutral.

The camera had just been shown. The Roaring Emperor, who was wearing a burgundy suit, was holding a microphone in one hand and the other hand was swinging in front of him. With excitement on his face, he opened and closed his mouth and shouted loudly in Korean:

“Welcome all visitors to the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center in South Korea!”

“Welcome to the first venue of the LOL Global Finals~~!!”

With the last high-pitched tail note, the Roaring Emperor's body violently swung upwards, full of passion.

"Thank you for the applause."

“Are you ready for the schedule from the 2018 Global Finals?!”

"Teams from all over the world bring their hopes to pursue their final dream, which is to lift the Legend Summoner Trophy!"

"The miles are very long, sweat, tears, in the end only one team can lift this trophy and reach the top, and"

"Win the title of world champion!"

"..."

"Now, they are ready, and the final goal is Incheon Munhak Stadium!"

An animation was inserted on the big screen, the lights on the stage began to shine, and the Snake players lined up and walked out from the backstage.

"Here it comes! Our final trophy! Our last champion, Snake, will put it back on the stage."

The Roaring Emperor added: "The King, the backbone of their victory, is walking over holding the trophy!"

When Roaring Emperor took the initiative to applaud, the audience at the scene did not hesitate to applaud. Those LPL audiences who came to the scene gave bursts of cheers.

At this moment, all members of Snake are standing around the Summoner's Cup, allowing summoners around the world to once again see the monument and glory they left in the 2017 season!

At this moment, many real-time comments also appeared in the LCK broadcast hall, ScreenX hall and other places.

Especially when we saw Snake on stage, the conversation became even more heated.

"This is a tough team. I don't know if KT can beat them this year. Well, KT can definitely do it. The LCK will never lose again!"

"The biggest enemy in the 2018 season has appeared. Snake is here for the dynasty. Don't let them take away the trophy anymore. Stay in the LCK. Players, please work hard."

LCK’s more rational analyst left a message:

"The challenge facing the LCK is very big. Snake is different from the previous teams. They have a suffocating guy. If the LCK does not deal with The King, it will be difficult to win."

There are also more desperate and frustrated voices: "Snake is too strong. You have all heard the news about the training match. I am afraid that only time and injuries can knock a guy like The King down. He is now invincible. Crown is in Group B." , his state this year is too different from The King."

There are also trolls roaring:

"Quickly destroy Snake, they are too arrogant! The championship is ours, if we continue to lose, the LCK will be disbanded!"

…

In the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center, some Korean girls at the scene suddenly brightened up when they looked towards the stage.

The man standing in the center of the stage, the gem on the Summoner's Cup beside him was shining brightly.

Brilliant gems, glory, grand beauty, a beautiful picture was carved in the girl's heart, which made the cheers in the venue much louder.

All the winning scenes of the S game were played on the big screen.

Team Snake waved to the audience and left the stage.

The Roaring Emperor picked up the cards in his hand and introduced each team starting from Group A.

According to the pre-game arrangement, each team will send a representative. Because the size of the stage is limited, they will stand next to the audience. Every time their name is called, the lights will follow.

This is naturally incomparable with the grandeur of S7, but the fact that the Korean League can be held to this extent is considered to be of high standard.

After all teams called their names, the opening ceremony of the group stage ended.

Because it is a local battle, LCK naturally takes the opportunity to show off.

The big screen came to a Korean-style wooden house. The Roaring Emperor was sitting on the threshold, and a voice kept coming:

"There was only one global finals where the LCK failed to reach the finals, and that was the first global finals in 2011."

"Why? Because the LCK didn't participate that time."

"..."

This is a very big flag, and LCK has already established it from the beginning.

Subsequently, the three LCK teams were introduced in detail. Kiin, Ruler and others all had shots.

After a total of 12 minutes, everything came to an end.

The light screen slid in front of the audience's eyes. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the opening game of the group stage started on time!

LCK Summer Split champion KT faced off against MAD.

In the first game, the KT team did not disappoint the Korean audience and played at the level of their own league champions. They did not use very special tactics and used hard power to defeat MAD. In 28 minutes and 19 seconds, KT won a head-to-head ratio of 14:6. End the game.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the second game of Group C, RNG played against C9.

In 25 minutes and 4 seconds, RNG easily defeated C9 11:4.

Uzi's Xayah scored 5/0/5 MVP data, showing with actual actions that 5 words can be used.

At six o'clock, PVB in Group A played against Flash Wolves.

Ma Bao picked mid laner Sion and had a great time playing against the Vietnamese team, so there was no pressure.

Moojin showed great power with Rock Bird, and he took all 5 kills in the early stage.

The game ended in less than 28 minutes, and it was basically one-sided.

Judging from the current three games, it is relatively easy for the strong teams to defeat the weak teams in this version, and it is difficult to stop them when the rhythm is up.

The Korean audience watched the fourth game with a more relaxed mood, AFS versus G2.

In the eyes of most people, the second Korean brother can handle G2 with ease, just like the leaves on the back of a buffalo.

However.

G2 comes prepared!

The weird Big Tou + Luo went down the road, and the top three players in Europe showed off their art.

AFS's offense seemed to be ineffective against G2. For 17 minutes, there was only one kill in the game, and the economy was not far ahead.

Many people have discovered the clues.

In previous games, the European teams liked to fight in the early stage, while the Korean team was in charge of operations. Often in the process of their operations, the European teams would expose various flaws due to insufficient understanding, causing the economic snowball to continue to be destroyed. expand.

However, times have really changed.

They were originally European and American fishermen, but now they have caught up with their understanding and even started to do needlework.

AFS was constantly pulled and played until 35 minutes and 56 seconds.

At this time, the head ratio on the field became 3:7, and the second Korean brother was forced to protect Athena.

Datou put his big turret at the door of AFS and pushed the tower crazily.

With a loud bang, G2 defeated AFS, causing the first big upset in this world championship!

Throughout the game, G2 played more like the Korean team, with ease and purpose.

This team, which made it through the playoffs, changed people's impression of them with their performance.

"Are the European teams so strong?"

"I watched the European competition before, and there is something indeed. I can no longer look at them through the eyes of the past."

"G2's performance is only the third in Europe. Isn't the second brother VIT even more powerful?!"

"S8 Europe is rising? Is VIT going to be upset too?"

Someone laughed: "Haha, what a surprise. The VIT game in Group B is about to begin. Look who they beat."

Some people quickly looked at the schedule and suddenly woke up.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, VIT battle

Snake!

"Europe's second brother is going to rise up and be an upset! Oh oh. It turns out to be Snake, so that's okay."

Someone laughed and said:

"VIT also wants to dance?"

In the LCS European studio, Coster, Ball and Charles were sitting in the commentary box.

All three were very excited about G2's performance, slapping the table to vent their emotions.

Ball: "I have said before, don't underestimate the European teams this season, we are different!"

"Since the beginning of the summer split, I have watched games in various major regions. Whether it is tactics or player performance, European teams can keep up with the first tier. We have made great progress! A lot of data can prove that we and The tactical ideas of the LPL division are consistent with each other and have surpassed the LCK’s understanding of the game.”

"G2 is also a team I am optimistic about. I said before the game that AFS was not sure of defeating G2. It was indeed the case! We won, a gorgeous victory!"

"VIT and FNC are stronger, we have unlimited possibilities in S8!"

Charles slapped Ball on the shoulder, his mouth opened like a wooden fish, and smiled: "Man, calm down, VIT is about to face Snake, you don't think this game is going to be an upset, right?"

"We have a chance, VIT is stronger, we have a chance!" Ball shouted overly excited.

Haochui, the top player in Europe, the number one interpreter in LCS Ritian Xue, and one of the top two Haochui players in the league, Coster showed a smile of wisdom.

"Bauer, calm down."

"That is a team with the peak The King. The aura of the dynasty has already wrapped around him. I can feel the glory of the dynasty coming from Busan while sitting in this studio. VIT has some strength, but facing Snake, I want to explode. Leng, the probability is lower than my grandpa crawling out of the grave."

He spread out his big hands and said extremely seriously:

"If VIT can defeat Snake, I, Coster, will admit that they are the strongest in the universe."

"Because the team with the pinnacle The King is the strongest in the universe!"

…

The discussion in the European studio continued, and at eight o'clock in the evening, the game in Busan started.

As an Italian, I have watched the World Cup. Jiizuke really doesn't have a good impression of Korea.

Sitting at the Busan venue, Jiizuke never dreamed that such a big 'surprise' would be waiting for him today!

At 8:29 p.m., the barrage on the LPL broadcast platform was covered by a large block of similar text.

"Emperor J!"

"Emperor J!"

…

Ten thousand barrages, eight thousand J!

Jiizuke has been collectively recognized by LPL players!

"The Emperor of Japan beheaded 12 heads in 24 minutes, one head every two minutes! The terrifying Syndra, the violent magical energy!"

"Busan Convention and Exhibition Center, Emperor J became famous in one battle! He was crowned the Twelve Emperors!"

"No one has asked about the league for ten years, but once he is crowned emperor, the whole world will know about it!"

"Sending 8 heads in 17 minutes and 3 seconds is priceless, comparable to King R! He has the capital to be selected into the background mountain in the future!"

…

PS: Good night, book friends!
