Chapter 718 I think some people overestimate the gap between teams
4 p.m.
The only remaining AFs team in the LCK region faced off against C9.
Compared to the fierce battle between IG and KT, which lasted until the fifth game to determine the winner.
This game was a one-sided one.
Someone in the forum also posted a very interesting screenshot of the conversation.
"1-0."
"Investigate again and report back."
"It's 2-0."
"There's really no way. The gap between the North American third seed and the Korean second seed is too big. C9's lineup is not good. If it was TL that advanced, maybe they could have played against AFs."
"Um... I mean C9 got two points."
“???!”
On the court.
C9 faces AFs.
In the first game, we had advantages in all positions except the top lane.
Jian Huang used Leblanc to suppress Scout's overconfident Kassadin. The cross-dressing guy Sneaky in the bottom lane used the enhanced Lucian and Braum to easily defeat the AFs Xayah + Old Bull combination.
Relying on the combat effectiveness of the two Cs, they played a quick push for 28 minutes.
Second game.
C9 brought out the top laner Aatrox, the jungler Graves, the mid laner Ahri, and the bottom laner Lucian and Braum.
AFs used a top laner who stole money, Viktor, a jungler who played Xin Zhao, a mid laner who played Ryze, and a bottom laner who played Kaisa and Lao Niu, a lineup that did not change much.
LCK's current top laner Kiin and his younger brother Scout both showed their strength.
In fifteen minutes, one scored 3-1-2 and the other scored 5-1-0.
With a kill ratio of 9-2, they completely suppressed C9.
When everyone thought that AFs had shown their true strength and the North American pride's journey in the world championship would end, even the commentators vowed that "C9 is gone."
C9 started a crazy attack with a desperate mentality.
By gathering together to cross the tower and capture the jungle, they raised a 5-1 Graves and had an output hero that was capable of holding the field.
Next.
C9 centered around Graves and pretended to fight the dragon before actually starting a team fight, lured and killed Alcatraz, Xin Zhao, and Ryze in succession, obtained Baron Nash, broke AFs' bottom lane high ground, converted the 7K economic lead into equipment, and pushed forward again, ending the game before thirty minutes!
Another two to zero!
Compared with the veterans in the KT team who have reached or are close to the top of the world.
The AFs players obviously don't have strong enough nerves.
There is a big problem with the mentality.
Especially Kiin in the top lane, who took out a money-stealing Gangplank when facing Ornn... He was led into a trap by Xing Dao.
Line phase.
AFs is slightly better.
Leading by two heads.
But Kiin's Captain did not develop to a strong period and had no presence in team fights.
What's even more terrifying is.
C9 clearly played with confidence.
Even though the team fight in the river failed, the jungler fought hard to grab the fire dragon, and the top and mid laners forced their way into the river bend without any punishment, and used small skills to grab the Nashor Baron, reversing the situation that was about to collapse.
34 minutes and 53 seconds.
C9 started the fight head-on and completed a zero-for-five crushing victory!
He personally broke the record that no Korean team had ever missed the semi-finals since the S2 finals!
This moment.
The light of North America really has a halo .
It is no exaggeration to say that no matter what the results of subsequent games are, C9 is the hero of the NA region.
When the cross-dressing boss Sneaky was interviewed and said: "We were originally an operations team in NA, and we were easily beaten by EDG in a training match in Korea. So we realized that we still have to fight to win the world championship." Afterwards.
All eyes are on...EDG!
Tomorrow, EDG will face FNC, the number one seed in Europe.
Even though everyone admits that EDG is the current No. 1, before IG defeated KT and achieved transformation, EDG was even a team of its own caliber, and the probability of a crash was negligible.
but.
Who could have thought that KT would fail?
Who could have thought that AFs would be defeated by C9 3-0?
Even if these two things really happened, no one would dare to believe it without watching the video. Who can dare to guarantee that FNC really cannot threaten EDG?
You know, FNC's mid laner Cap King is a top-level mage, the bottom laner Ou Cheng is a veteran powerhouse, and the new top laner Bibab also has world-class strength.
Judging from the information on paper, FNC is much easier to make a comeback than C9!
…
"Get up, get up."
At 9 a.m. on the 21st, Abu knocked on the doors of each room and woke up the players who had gone to bed early: "Eat something first, and then we will go to the stadium to prepare."
Make sure everyone is awake.
Abu began to instruct the logistics team again: "Remember to load bananas, chocolates, chestnuts, raisins, and candies. Check the spare peripherals twice. Nothing can go wrong."
The peripherals for the World Finals are sent by the teams to the official site for testing and safekeeping.
Before going on stage, ask the staff to change it.
This will eliminate any possible unexpected situations.
You can also specify the brand and model and ask the official to prepare new peripherals.
but.
Equipment problems are common in competitions, so it is necessary to bring a spare set just in case.
After washing up, the EDG players simply ate a meal until they were half full.
I leaned back on the sofa and took a nap.
At 11:00 noon, we boarded the bus and headed to Busan Gymnasium.
12 noon.
While LPL viewers were slightly worried, European viewers watched with full anticipation.
The quarterfinals in the left half officially kicked off.
At this time.
A very interesting scene happened.
——The World Finals hosted by South Korea is different from previous ones. The promotional video is not distributed equally, but focuses on the three LCK teams. It can basically be regarded as a "self-boasting" introduction.
The teams and players from other regions, including EDG, all flashed by, and it was almost impossible to see a second shot.
But...
With the right half of the game finished, all LCK teams were eliminated.
Looking at the lengthy declarations read by KT and AFs players on the big screen, especially the sentence 'I think some people overestimate the gap between teams. This world finals is completely different from the past. Every team that has made it this far has the possibility of winning', the show effect was maximized!
“Ouch!”
"Some people do overestimate the gap between the teams."
When the camera turns to the commentary booth.
Wawa, who was extremely biased towards the LPL region, said this in a very mischievous way.
Although his old partner Miller and special guest Shen Chao were not so extreme, they couldn't help laughing when they thought of happy things.
"to be honest."
Miller adjusted his expression and began to warm up: "KT and AFs all lost, which also sounded the alarm for us. We must face C9 and FNC squarely and take every game with the most serious attitude ."
"That's true." Wawa nodded. "Let me give you a preview first. The upcoming BO5 match between our LPL No. 1 seed EDG and LCS.EU No. 1 seed FNC will take place. The winner will get the third place to advance to the semi-finals."
"At 4pm, the civil war between RNG and JDG will take place."
"Which of the four teams in our LPL region will advance and whether they can meet in the finals as everyone expects, half of it will be decided today!"
