Chapter 120
On October 21, the S7 finals quarterfinals began.
The first match is between SEA vs BBJ, the number one seeds from DPL and DCS.
The North American division has always liked to use tricks, which has caused a lot of trouble to DPL and even DCK every year in the past, but don’t forget that this year Su Zheye has also started studying tricks since the day he joined SEA.
Previously, Jiang Yiwen was not the kind of support who stayed in the line obediently - otherwise Lu Yang would not have quarreled with him every day - because SEA was the jungle core, Jiang Yiwen was very good at roaming with Gu Yuan, and now with Su Zheye who was researching new tactics, Jiang Yiwen would not stay in the line anymore.
In the first game between SEA and BBJ, Su Zheye switched lanes with Jiang Yiwen, which not only confused the opponent, but also the team and fans in his own region.
But it was this style of magic defeating magic that prevented BBJ, the North American region's king of tactics, from gaining any advantage over SEA, and he was sent home with a 1:3 score.
In fact, the suspense of the match between SEA and BBJ is not particularly great. For fans, the match between the second and third seeds of the China-Korea region on the second and third days is the top priority.
Early in the morning, all the SEA members were woken up by Huang Heran to accompany TRG to play a training match.
Lu Yang yawned and almost fell asleep during the BP: "Why didn't you ask us to play a training match last night?"
Jiang Yiwen was not quite awake: "It's probably because we just finished a BO5 game and we're afraid of getting tired."
"yes."
Huang Heran interrupted from behind, "How dare they let you guys work non-stop? It's okay, they just arranged a game and said they wanted to find your form. After the game, you can go back to sleep. The semi-finals will be in nine days, so take a day off today and start training hard tomorrow."
Lu Yang immediately perked up: "Okay, brother."
After playing a game with TRG, the SEA guys went back to catch up on some sleep.
They didn't have a match today and there were no extra lounges in the stadium, so at 4:30 in the afternoon, all the SEA people gathered in the training room at the base to watch the game.
The version for the World Championship has been updated. The experience gained from the jungle knife has been changed, and the aoe skills of several powerful mages in the middle lane have also been slightly weakened - in simple terms, it has reduced the ability of the jungler to gain experience by stealing the line, and also reduced the efficiency of the mid laner in clearing the line, so the mid laner has to be tied to the line more and cannot roam.
In addition, late-stage core ADs such as Electric Loli and Moon Shadow Bow have been slightly strengthened.
This change is more beneficial to DCK.
Because the Chinese division likes to fight, everyone from the jungler to the mid laner support likes to roam, and in the early stages there are all kinds of four-on-two and resource-forced team fights. However, this change reduces the roaming ability of the mid laner, so he can only be forced to develop and only join the team in the middle and late stages.
The Korean division prefers to develop and operate slowly, and the three teams that entered the quarterfinals are all very good at the version's core AD heroes.
Yesterday, SEA's match against BBJ did not highlight the impact of the new changes, because both sides prefer early-stage clashes and will not focus entirely on operations. But today, when facing DCK's veteran powerhouse RCG, the advantages and disadvantages of the new version were fully revealed.
In the first game, TRG forced a team fight in the early game but RCG kept avoiding it, picking late-game heroes. When the game dragged on for 40 minutes, they were wiped out in a fight at the Ancient Dragon, ending the game in one wave.
RCG took the first step.
In the second game, TRG was on the blue side and snatched the Blood Lotus Sacrifice from Pipi.
Although Blood Lotus Priest's QW have been slightly weakened, they can still clear the lane quickly.
I have to say that Pipi is very talented. After playing training matches with SEA for so long, he has learned the true skills of Su Zheye. The Blood Lotus Priest constantly cooperated with the jungler and the bottom lane to establish an advantage, and then snowballed, helping TRG to win back a city with a KDA of 4/2/11.
In the third game, TRG made a strong effort in the top lane. Gao's signature pharmacist was ahead by more than 2k economy and a whole big item during the laning phase, winning the MVP and allowing TRG to reach the match point first.
However, RCG was the runner-up in the World Championship for two years after all, and was not affected at all. It adjusted very quickly, and in the next two games, it banned Pipi's signature Blood Lotus Priest and Gao's Pharmacist. Then the mid laner selected the Wings of Germany who had strong one-on-one ability, and completely restricted Pipi to the middle lane.
The entire game was brought into the LCK's operating rhythm, with both sides playing for more than 40 minutes in two consecutive games. In the ancient dragon group in the match point game, RCG still had the economic and vision advantages.
But - there was a TRG tp ward behind RCG that had not been cleared, so Gao went around and tp!
Everyone's heart was in their throat, and they stared at the screen intently.
Still not discovered!
RCG took the lead in attacking the Ancient Dragon. When its health was half left, 555 used the flash finger to force out the RCG ad's flash. Then Gao flashed into the field and cut straight to the back row of RCG!
"Nice!!"
Lu Yang shouted loudly: "Minimum is gone, Minimum is gone, TRG can turn around!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two Cs of RCG fell under Gao's sword.
TRG didn't even look at the Ancient Dragon and all members chased after it.
The RCG top laner also arrived, leaving the jungler and support alone to defend the base. The resurrection time at this moment has been as long as 60s, and RCG is powerless to recover.
TRG took down the two front towers and then the crystal.
——Victory! !
【Congratulations to TRG! Congratulations to DPL!!】
[See! I, the third seed, still beat you, the second seed! ! ! ]
[I hate RCG the most. They get so mad when they win. Even FEL isn’t this annoying. In one word, awesome!!!]
[The DPL is going to have a civil war, but no matter what, there will be a DPL team in the finals. 】
"Nice!!"
Lu Yang jumped up: "6k economic turnaround ah ah ah, let your RCG be arrogant again!!"
"Well done."
Jiang Yiwen also smiled: "I'm so nervous. Gao's flanking move is really cool."
"It's a battle between the strong."
Huang Heran, who had a pair of glasses on his nose, commented seriously: "I can hardly keep up with what I see."
Lu Yang exposed him without hesitation: "You can't keep up with our game."
Huang Heran: “…”
Yan Shusheng is always the most realistic one: "You have also seen that TRG's operational rhythm and team-fighting ability have greatly improved. Don't underestimate the enemy. Go to bed early today and prepare well for tomorrow."
Because SEA and TRG won more than they lost in the training matches.
Everyone responded immediately.
TRG and RCG played five full games, and none of them were short. Including the interview, it is already half past ten.
SEA had already had dinner during the half-time break, and spent the rest of the time playing ranked games and then sleeping, but none of them turned on their computers.
"I'm going to go out for a moment."
Su Zheye said to Gu Yuan, "I'll be back soon, you can go ahead and play without waiting for me."
Gu Yuan knew what he was going to do and said "hmm".
"I'm going too!"
Lu Yang said happily, took Su Zheye's arm and ran out.
TRG’s bus was like a sparrow’s nest, full of chirping sounds, and everyone’s face was filled with excited smiles.
When they saw that their opponent was RCG, they were actually fully prepared for the outcome of failure, but when they reached the match point early, everyone still saw hope of winning and advancing.
Then they were tied by RCG. When the battle song started, their mentality was not affected at all. They just treated it as a BO1 and gave it their all.
Fortunately, their efforts paid off in the end. Despite being unpopular with anyone, they won the second seed of DCK and last year's world runner-up as the third seed of DPL!
555 still feels a little unreal. He looks out the window and then at his phone with a silly smile on his face: "Did we advance?"
Gao gave him a look of disdain: "You've asked me this for the tenth time."
"I still can't believe it."
555 shook his arm and said, "Well done, top laner. You'll be the best in the next two days."
Gao: “…Fuck.”
"Grass!!!"
Pipi also suddenly realized this, and raised his voice: "In a few days, I will be facing Brother Su. Ahhhhh I don't want to play anymore!!"
“It’s not a big problem.”
Gao said: "Don't forget that Brother Su is no longer a tool man. It depends on whether you are lucky enough to meet his Snow Girl."
“…”
Pippi became even more desperate.
"Grass."
Twelve was also in despair: "I'm going to face off against Commander Gu, and my jungle is about to be cleared out silently."
"point!"
555 said: "You can order anything, just order 15!"
Of course, you cannot surrender in a professional game. Of course, these people are just talking. They have beaten SEA in training matches before, and everyone will give their best.
Soon, the bus pulled into the base, and the manager said, "Everyone take a good rest today, go to bed early, and train tomorrow."
"good!"
555 responded, picked up the bag and ran under the car.
The light in the base's living room was dim, but the happy people didn't turn on the lights.
Just after turning the corridor, 555 suddenly stopped.
A person stood there, with long hair hanging down on his shoulders, looking over here with a smile on his lips.
555 was stunned for a second.
Then he realized that Su Zheye was waiting for them here specifically to congratulate them.
So for some reason, 555 suddenly felt a lump in his throat: "Brother Su!!"
Su Zheye responded and opened his arms.
555 immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms: "Brother Su, we won, I kept my promise to you!"
Su Zheye rubbed his head and said, "Congratulations, you are the best."
"I know."
555 sniffed and said, "It wasn't easy. We actually beat RCG. We are the best."
Su Zheye laughed: "Yeah, you beat RCG."
"Thank you, Brother Su, thank you for always accompanying us in training matches."
Su Zheye smiled disapprovingly: "What's the big deal? It's normal for people in the same division to have a training match."
In fact, it is not normal, because the two teams are about to meet, and other teams will not make appointments with each other under the same circumstances.
"Oh, why are you crying?"
Lu Yang went to the toilet, and when he came back, he saw 555 with red eyes: "You guys are so awesome, you should be happy."
555 snorted, "I am crying for joy. Do you understand?"
"All right."
Lu Yang really didn't understand: "But you still beat RCG, and let those bastards bully you every day. Well done. Aren't you going to celebrate?"
"think."
555 said: "But I don't know what to do."
"Would you like to have a midnight snack?"
Su Zheye suddenly narrowed his eyes: "I know there are a lot of delicious food in Ktown."
He suddenly thought of something: "Oh yeah, Ktown is Korean town. We beat them and we have to eat their food."
"Okay, okay!"
555's eyes lit up: "Go, go now."
“Yeah!”
Twelve also said.
“I want to go too!”
Pipi came over and said, "Brother Su, wait for us to change clothes."
"good."
Su Zheye smiled: "I'll ask the people from SEA too."
So these people had no idea that they were about to become rivals, and they went out together to eat Korean barbecue late at night.
If they didn't have training the next day, they would have planned to go to the izakaya to have a few drinks.
On the third day of the quarterfinals, XY and P3 also fought for five games, and in the end P3 won the match point.
On the fourth day, FEL defeated 7MN 3:0 without a doubt.
At this point, the top four teams in the World Championship have all been born, two DCK teams, two DPL teams, and the teams from the same region are in the same half, which means that the semi-finals are all intra-regional battles.
Whenever there is a game during the World Championship, there will be hot searches about DPL on Weibo, and there will be more than one, and the popularity will remain high for a long time.
[I understand. Night let P3 into the quarterfinals to get revenge on his old team, to help his good brother TRG and kick XY back home.]
[No matter what, there will be a DPL team in the finals. The last time was five years ago in S2.]
[Fuck, I get angry when I hear about S2 unplugging the network cable. Can any of our DPL fans keep an eye on the network cable to prevent the Koreans from cheating? ]
[It shouldn’t happen in this era, but in the lower half… Alas, FEL’s strength is unique in DCK, and neither SEA nor TRG can beat him. ]
[Don't, just because you won an RCG, you're bragging that this year is the most promising year for DPL? SEA had a hard time beating P3, and TRG had a hard time beating an RCG, so how can they compete with FEL? ]
[Don’t dare, I’d better question DPL before believing it. ]
[You know what, with TRG playing RCG in this state, they might actually be able to beat SEA. And seeing as op.gg and the others have practice matches every day, both sides must know each other well.]
[Indeed, that makes me look forward to it even more.]
On October 30, the first semi-final match, the DPL civil war, kicked off.
