The quarterfinals were almost uneventful. EDG's opponent is the unlucky KT. It was difficult for KT to reach the knockout round, and then their opponent was EDG, which was really a bit difficult. But there's nothing we can do about it, that's how the lot is drawn, so who's to blame? Today's EDG is stronger than in the group stage, and their play style has gradually changed from four guarantees to focusing more on the early and mid-term. KT is actually not weak, but KT's players are really tired. EDG's victory over KT was relatively easy, so I won't go into details. After the match between EDG and KT, the next step is the match between JDG and GenG. This fight was quite intense. Although GenG seemed to be very dominant in the World Championship, GenG's top lane has always been a problem.
Although 369 is now more of a front-rower for the team, he can also play Crocodile. When the situation was deadlocked and the game entered the fifth game. JDG's bottom lane stood out. Missing's Luo and Ruler's Xia played a beautiful coordination in the crucial fifth game. In the end, it also helped JDG advance to the semi-finals with a score of 3 to 2. BLG's opponent became T1. It's weird to say the least. Obviously the No. 1 seed has changed, but the No. 2 seed has also changed. But WBG still beat NRG, the only soft persimmon in the quarterfinals. Maybe there really is such a thing as dog luck. After WBG easily defeated NRG, all the pressure fell on BLG. If BLG can defeat T1, then there will be four top four LPL teams. As for BLG, LPL audiences have a lot of confidence. The reason is actually very simple, because BLG once defeated T1. In this year's MSI, both BLG and JDG have won. Although the versions have changed now, BLG, as the former king who dominated the LPL for a long time, still has many audiences looking forward to them. "BLG can't win." Xu Yuan, who was also watching the game, made this judgment very calmly. When Abu heard this, he did not question it, but nodded slightly. "It's hard."
"There's something wrong with their condition." Maybe BLG didn't realize it themselves, but their status was already starting to go wrong. In the past, when playing domestic games, Toothpaste was more of a functional mid laner. However, at the World Championships, Toothpaste was able to stand out. Some people may say, isn't this a good thing? No. In fact, when Toothpaste needs to stand up and play C to win, it means that BLG's rhythm is already very poor. Just like S9's RNG. When Langxing has to step up to be the C, it means that no one else can be the C except Uzi. "Abin is too easy to give a chance. It is much better than domestic food." Compared to the reserved Xu Yuan and Abu, A Le is more outspoken. He really felt that Bin had changed his mind. Although he is still very confident, he is much rougher online. And to fight Zeus in this state... A Le feels that 80% of it is already difficult. At 7 ., the game officially begins. "Welcome everyone to the 2023 League of Legends Global Finals. I am the commentator Kim Jae-won." "I'm commentator Park Ji-yong." "Today is our last second seed in LCK, T1." "A game against BLG, the third seed of the LPL." The Korean commentary had a serious tone. "If T1 loses this game, then the LCK World Championship journey will be over." The LPL audience is very confident, but the LCK audience has little confidence. Even the Korean commentator felt that today's game was a bit difficult. Because BLG performed very well at MSI. Backstage at T1, after the tactical arrangements, Lee Sang Hyuk had been sitting quietly in the corner, looking at his phone silently. Suddenly, a message was sent. Xu Yuan: Will you win? "..."
He smiled unconsciously. Lee Sang Hyuk: I will win. This is what he was waiting for! After finally waiting for Xu Yuan to return, it has become Lee Sang Hyuk's obsession to play against this former teammate. BLG really made a deep impression on him. But Lee Sang Hyuk is not afraid. Because he had experienced this kind of thing more than once. S6's SKT was almost eliminated in the group stage! "Let's go, kids." He stood up, his expression as calm as ever, with only calmness and confidence in his eyes. "Let us send BLG home." Five minutes later, with the introduction of the players, all members of T1 stepped onto the stage and sat on the player seats. Lee Sang Hyuk skillfully adjusted the peripherals. On the big screen behind them, their pre-match interview was being played. When it was Lee Sang Hyuk's turn, the host of Riot Games asked such a question. "What keeps you going until today?" "We all know that you are a player who has debuted since S3. This year is already your eleventh year." "Why persist?" Facing the host's questions, Lee Sang Hyuk showed no unnecessary expression. "Because I like the feeling of winning, because I like playing professionally." He said calmly, "So, what are your thoughts about today's game?" The host asked immediately. "Player Savior and I have been friends for many years. Player Savior chose to come back this year, and I am really happy." "No matter how strong BLG is, they will only lose to T1 today." "Because for me, there are Savior players waiting for me behind." "We made an agreement." "So, I don't have any reason to lose." Lee Sang Hyuk is very serious.
This was an agreement made four years ago. And now, he has to keep the appointment! Looking at Lee Sang Hyuk with serious eyes on the screen, Xu Yuan touched his nose. "Is it possible that this time, my brother will become Lee Sang Hyuk's motivation?" In this case, if T1 really beats BLG, wouldn't I still have one-third of the credit? Damn it, Han Za is actually me! ? Xu Yuan was amused by his idea. He laughed, Ming Kai asked him strangely what he was laughing at, and Xu Yuan also expressed his thoughts. Mingkai:...... Don't say it, really don't say it. There really is some truth to it. The mastermind behind the scenes has been found, Weibo @daidaidaxuyuan! After an hour and a half, the LPL audience fell into silence. "seriously……" "What on earth is BLG fighting?!" "Why can't you win from the beginning to the end? Is T1 so strong?" "Three to zero, damn it!" "You made me laugh. Is this Xiao Wang? You, your mother, are criticizing you!" Li Sang Hyuk stood up with a calm expression and casually high-fived little Lu Bu beside him. The Korean commentator on the scene has gone crazy. "Three to zero!" "T1! The savior of LCK!" "They successfully defeated BLG and advanced to the semi-finals in the global finals!" "The LCK's journey to the World Championship is not over yet!" They simply laughed. I originally thought it would be a fierce battle, but it turned out to be a crisp three-to-zero. T1, the last member of the LCK, showed their style in this game and brutally brutalized BLG. When Lee Sang Hyuk came to the center of the stage, he finally smiled. He stared at the camera in front of him. Xu Yuan, have you seen your brother’s handsome operation? "Son, do you think the water will jump into the glass and fly to my brother's mouth?" In the EDG lounge, Xu Yuan spoke leisurely. fofo was very sensible and immediately poured him a glass of water.
"Brother Yuan, drink!" "Not bad." Xu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to it at all. BLG's state itself was a bit bad, and it was normal for T1 to win. They say they are big or small kings, but in fact BLG and JDG are not teams of the same level at all. Even JDG could only score one point, and it was really normal for BLG to lose 3-0. Because JDG's resilience far exceeds that of BLG, but even JDG couldn't resist T1's early and mid-term rhythm. How can a team like BLG, which relies on online advantages, beat T1? Some teams appear to be still alive, but are actually dead at the end of the draw. Therefore, Lee Sang Hyuk wanted Xu Yuan to see his wonderful operation, which can be said to be a wink to a blind man. Xu Yuan already knew the result, so he glanced at it casually. "T1 is really strong." Abu looked very serious. He watched it from beginning to end. It is undeniable that BLG has problems, but T1 can seize these problems and beat BLG without any ability to fight back, which shows that T1 is indeed ruthless. After the game, Kangba also had a heated discussion. "It's over, why don't I feel something is right?" "How could BLG be beaten so badly? Is the gap really that big?" "The funeral has started again. How dare you touch Zeus in this B state?" "What a beast, you really deserve to be eliminated!" "Leaving aside BLG, why do I feel that neither EDG nor JDG can beat T1?" "Is Biluochun starting again? If your father loses, does it mean that no one else can beat him?" "This is what a filial son is like." All the pressure from public opinion fell on BLG. The team's assistant ON also burst into tears again. Although he often likes to show off his facial expressions, ON's defense is actually quite low. I don’t cry once or twice after losing a game. He is also a model of being both good and fun-loving. But Abin is as crazy as ever.
"I don't think T1 is very strong. I played too poorly today." He frankly admitted that he was not good at playing, but felt that T1 was really not that strong. This behavior immediately aroused dissatisfaction in counterattacking Han Za. He was defeated three to zero, so what else could he pretend to be? However, Abin probably doesn’t care, because he said something long ago: Hate me, I don't care what you think. During this period, although BLG was eliminated, they did not choose to return directly to China. Oh, there are still some. tabe ran away directly. But the players did not leave. Instead, after being invited by the remaining three teams, they began to fully help the remaining teams in training matches. Although the coach has run away, the players don't care. There is nothing wrong with the BLG players, they are very interesting. It's just that BLG's operation is really a bit messy. After beating T1, hot searches began to exaggerate the idea that T1 was invincible. He immediately started to bad-mouth LPL. Does this routine feel a bit familiar? It looks familiar. The current operations of BLG are the same operators of S10 Suning. At that time, SN's operations were quite shameless. Before I played JDG, I was setting the pace online, saying that JDG was the phantom god of civil war. After defeating JDG, when playing TES, they said that TES is the fantasy god of civil war. Then after losing to DWG in the finals, he said: Heck, we are only the third seed. Isn’t it normal to lose? Byd I have finished telling you all the good and bad things. If JDG and TES are the gods of fucking war, then why did they lose to SN? In order not to bear the pressure of public opinion, SN does everything possible in its operations. Even if the main character disgusts others, he cannot disgust himself. The pattern of the top four is also very clear. EDG plays against JDG, WBG plays against T1. In fact, almost no one has hopes for this WBG vs. T1 match.
Because people like WBG don’t look like they can win the championship? In terms of configuration, it may be similar to EDG. After all, EDG has an absolute advantage all the way, but WBG doesn't even have this. In fact, it is not as expected. T1 was another crisp three-to-zero. This LCK's last standout team made it to the finals. On the other side, the match between EDG and JDG was extremely difficult. After adjusting their playing style, EDG was somewhat powerless against JDG. I lost the first round. The second JDG also had a huge advantage in the early stage, but Xu Yuan's Verus completed the comeback. In the third hand, JDG didn't give a chance and easily took away EDG. In the fourth game, EDG counterattacked again, taking advantage of the line change to seize the opportunity of JDG and score the second point. The score goes to two to two! In the last round, EDG invaded the jungle area in the early stage, and then linked up with the midfielder to directly target Kanavi. This move was hidden by them until the very end. The effect is also very outstanding. As Kanavi's rhythm collapsed, Ruler Emperor was helpless. "Destroy it, demolish it! If you demolish it, you win!" "Although it was still very difficult, EDG still defeated JDG and continued their unbeaten performance against JDG in the Summer Split!" "Let us congratulate EDG for advancing to the finals with a score of three to two!" "And next, their opponent is..." "T1!" Accompanied by the passionate voice of commentary, JDG's main crystal was removed. The picture also freezes at this moment. Emperor Chi looked at this scene blankly, and suddenly smiled in relief. Still him. Even after so many years, Xu Yuan still sent him away in the World Championship after returning to the competition. "come on." When he saw the EDG players coming over to shake hands, Chi Di took Xu Yuan's extended hand and spoke seriously. "……Thanks."
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile. Although I have heard rumors about Emperor Chi's bullying, what does this have to do with Xu Yuan? He is not Korean, and he will only applaud the ruler when he bullies Koreans. Koreans, he has to be bullied! Time passed bit by bit. The last game of S13 is also the most critical BO5. The candidates for both parties have been decided. One side has shown terrifying dominance since the knockout rounds, averaging three to zero per game, and has already sent away two LPL teams' T1. The other side stumbled all the way, and finally defeated JDG and advanced to the finals. The players looked like they were sent to EDG. For a moment, even Yuan Za, who believed in Xu Yuan the most, couldn't help but be shaken. This…… Can you really win? (End of chapter)
