Chapter 633 Let Them Learn to Respect
In the second round of the group stage, the Chinese team, which had a clear advantage in strength and played very cautiously, defeated the Taiwanese provincial team and the Vietnamese team again without any suspense.
By the way, it gave the Kazakhstan team face.
——They held out for twenty minutes, got two kills, a water dragon, and destroyed a defense tower, giving them the best gaming experience.
Six games later.
The Chinese team won all the games.
Firmly ranked first in the group.
In the second game between the Taiwanese team and their big brothers from Vietnam, there was a small mistake and they were forced into a situation where they were playing like a bandit and had an economic gap of over 6,000 in ten minutes.
In the 27th minute, we lost another crucial team battle.
They were beaten 1 for 5 and lost the Nash Baron, completely losing hope of a comeback.
Thus, they entered the extra round with the same points.
Fortunately, the provincial team maintained the dignity of the mainstream division after a fierce battle in the extra game.
Although the Vietnamese brothers lost the game, they played with style and saved their fate which was teetering on the edge of the mine.
This battle was also rated by foreign media as the most intense match in the group stage.
Group B did not cause any waves.
The South Korean team is the first in Group B.
The wealthy country of Saudi Arabia is second by a huge margin.
Pakistan and host Indonesia can only find a sense of normal combat when they are fighting each other.
“Why is Pakistan so bad?”
Xiye was very surprised by the performance of 'Ba Tie': "Don't they have a professional team? And they won all the qualifiers 8-0. It seems that they played worse than the one at the bottom of our group...what was that?"
"Kazakhstan." UZI has a very good memory.
"That 8-0 was won by a DOTA2 team." Abu also thought Pakistan had some strength at first, but he found out the truth after entering the Asian Games Village to collect information: "They let a professional DOTA2 team play League of Legends, got a quota, and then let the League of Legends team play."
"No wonder the ID length is wrong, it can still be like this!" Meiko broke into a sweat.
League of Legends and DOTA are both MOBA-type competitive games.
There are also certain similarities because they have common developers.
However, there are essential differences in game focus, team battle strategies, operational details and other aspects.
If a professional team 'crosses over', they will definitely be beaten up by five random random people put together.
Even so, Pakistan still let the DOTA2 team help get a spot for the League of Legends... You can imagine how weak the original team was.
After watching the last game where both sides were feeding each other, one side's ultimate was in vain, while the other side quickly flashed to collide with the skill.
All group matches are over.
The knockout round match schedule was then announced .
In the upper half, it's China vs Saudi Arabia.
In the lower half, it's the South Korean team versus the Taiwan Province team.
"God bless you, playing against China in the semi-finals is really a nightmare."
“They are too strong.”
"Two years ago, their strength was still lower than South Korea, but now, I am afraid that even the South Korean team may not be their opponent."
Wickychi, the Saudi team's top laner and the team's only professional player, voiced despair: "An ancient philosopher once said that no one can dance under the roar of a lion. Playing against the Chinese team is more terrifying than dancing under the roar of a lion."
"Winning or losing doesn't matter, we just need to try our best. The important thing is participation!" Saudi coach KonDziSan didn't know how to cheer up his players.
It is said that truth is medicine and lies are viruses.
Facing the Chinese team.
Whatever morale-boosting method is used, it is obviously a lie.
I can only say some clichés.
The other four players who don’t even have a professional identity still have the mentality of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger, and the pressure is not as great as the top laner.
I even fantasized about defeating strong opponents on the biggest stage in Asia, proving my strength, and enjoying flowers, applause, cheers and green coins.
Until... August 28, the moment the competition started.
In the group stage, which had enough tolerance for mistakes and was very familiar with the strength of other teams, Xing Dao, Zzai Zhang, Xiye, UZI and Meiko only played at about 60% of their strength, which was the passing level.
Entering the knockout stage, even though I wasn't 100% serious, I still played at 80%.
Less than ten minutes into the first game, the Saudi team remembered a custom from an ancient country - covering the face of the deceased with a white cloth.
Less than two hours.
The Saudi team lost three games in a row.
Excluding the time for rest and Ban/Pick phases, the average time per game is no more than 20 minutes.
Except for the top laner who is a professional player, can recognize the gap and has prepared himself mentally early, everyone else has expressions that look like they want to cry but have no tears.
"Congratulations to the Chinese team for defeating Saudi Arabia 3-0 and reaching the Asian Games finals."
In the commentary booth, Wang Duoduo cleverly omitted two of the three words "exhibition match": "The next match will be a BO5 battle between the Korean team and the Chinese Taiwan Provincial Team. The winner will compete with the Chinese team for the gold medal."
“The losing team will have to fight the Saudi team to decide who gets the bronze medal.”
"I really hope that the Taiwan provincial team can create a miracle and meet in the final." Zhihuan is looking forward to it.
But expectation is expectation.
The strength of the provincial team is indeed a little bit worse than that of the South Korean team.
Even though the South Korean team was overwhelmed by EDG after the S6 finals, the four strongest teams in this year's Intercontinental Championship still lost to LPL in terms of comprehensive strength, which disappointed the entire Korean audience. They were cursed to crash into a plane and feed to sharks, and they were still one-sidedly crushed when bullying the provincial team.
During the competition.
Kiin, who played in the top lane position, was in great form.
In three games, he got a total of twenty-nine kills, with an average of nearly double-digit kills per game.
Faker shook off his previous slump and used Leblanc to face two people in the middle lane. He killed Maple, the mid laner of the Taiwan Provincial Team, with a single-digit health difference. He then used the W skill to teleport away and escaped unscathed, which aroused cheers from the entire audience.
The Chidi in the bottom lane achieved the effect of threading the line in every game.
In the jungle, Peanut's performance was not that impressive because others performed so well, but he still had 69% jungle control and 100% dragon control, which was terrifying to watch.
After the game.
The South Korean team, which won 6-0 in the group stage and 3-0 in the semi-finals, accepted the media interview in high spirits.
"Although we lost to LPL in recent events, including the Intercontinental Championship."
“But I still think LCK is better than LPL.”
Faker said confidently: "Everyone in our team is a top player, and everyone is good enough. The champion of this Asian Games will definitely belong to the Korean team."
"I think that players in the LPL region generally don't know what respect is, especially General, who often shows an infuriating expression when he is in an advantageous position." Kiin, a rookie top laner who debuted only a year ago, said seriously: "This time, they should learn this!"
