Chapter 352 Promotional Video and Black Technology
Hotel.
It was not a peaceful day.
Karsa moved his neck and walked into the e-sports room. As soon as he entered, he saw a figure that made people feel reassured.
"Good morning." He found his seat.
"Good morning." Qin Hao responded.
There is still some time before the quarterfinals, and everyone is training hard. After all, there is no room for error in the knockout rounds, and there will be no chance to adjust if you lose.
Of course.
Compared with Qin Hao, Karsa felt that the intensity of his training was not high. After all, he couldn't stay up so late, and he couldn't get up so early.
Yesterday, he played too much in the rankings and almost fell asleep in the game... However, when he thought about the importance of the knockout rounds, these fatigues were nothing.
After all, no matter what, he would only last for a month.
When the world championship is over, either he will take a vacation to recuperate with honor, or he will take a vacation to heal with bitterness.
Compared with the latter, Karsa would rather be more tired.
Because he has been playing professionally for so many years, he is always one of those who take a vacation early.
To be honest, he doesn't miss those days. Although I don’t have to stay up until 4 or 5 o’clock, I don’t have to play dozens of ranked games every day, I don’t have to be publicly punished for reviewing the game, and I don’t have to fall asleep as soon as I’m tired.
But the days without results are really empty.
Just thinking about it.
Hearing the heavy footsteps, Karsa couldn’t help but turn his neck, and then saw C Bo who looked sleepy.
“Huh?”
Karsa was incoherent.
He thought that Qin Hao was the most diligent in this team, and C Bo was relatively lazy. He didn’t expect that the sun rose from the west and C Bo actually woke up.
He glanced at the computer screen in the lower right corner.
That’s right.
12:42.
A time when C Bo couldn’t wake up.
Seeing C Bo sitting down consciously, Karsa couldn’t help but: “You got up very early.” Karsa meant to express surprise.
But he found that C Bo was rolling his eyes.
"I just had a dream. I dreamed that PP was killed by Crown. After the fight, he cried to me because he lost. He cried so hard that his heart was broken..."
Cbo emphasized that Qin Hao cried miserably: "I was confused at the time. I tried hard to say something, but just when I was about to speak, I woke up. When I woke up, I saw that there was no one on the bed. I wanted to sleep for a while but couldn't...
Hey, it's all PP's fault for saying more practice. It made me a little neurotic now."
Qin Hao found it interesting: "Did I really cry loudly?"
"Yes." Cbo nodded.
Seeing that the two of them were talking about the degree of crying seriously, Karsa couldn't help but complain: "Dreams are the opposite."
"Well, I don't think it's possible." Cbo said: "I haven't seen PP cry."
"I haven't seen you cry either."
Karsa covered his face. Are you going to argue about this?
"Oh." Cbo remembered the content he saw when he was squatting in the toilet just now. While opening the client, he said: "Do you know that WE fans and RNG fans are arguing."
"I know." This is exactly why Karsa felt that today was not peaceful. Who would have thought that the Internet would be so lively before the quarterfinals even started.
"What?" Qin Hao didn't follow the super topic, so he didn't know that the war had already started.
"It seems that WE fans are celebrating the good signing and offending RNG fans."
"It was in the score prediction post between RNG and SKT, and there were WE fans supporting SKT to win." Karsa got a different melon.
"Oh, anyway, the two sides are passionately arguing." At this point, C Bo laughed out loud: "The most ridiculous thing is that WE fans also wrote an IOU."
"What IOU."
"I owe RNG an S championship."
Qin Hao: ...
~~~
Evening.
Cvmax stood in front of the tactical board and listed the lineup BP that SSG had done from the playoffs to the group stage.
"...SSG basically only plays a few lineups. Compared with the playoffs, they currently tend to let the top laner choose some more comfortable heroes, and then focus on controlling the vision.
So as long as the frontal clearing is not opened, their mid, jungle and support can take the time to replenish the vision during the period from each round of soldiers entering to the next wave of soldiers coming."
"To be more specific, their control rate of the dragon and the vanguard is not high, and they like to use these neutral resources to exchange for defensive towers."
After talking about SSG's focus.
Cvmax gave his thoughts: "If we want to play comfortably, we have to let the opponent's jungler be active in our field of vision.
In addition, we must have a way to force the middle line, and we can't let Ruler comfortably defend the line and develop."
Finally, Cvmax made a summary: "In this version, the most important thing is the mid-term rhythm. As long as CuVee takes enough time to take down the side tower and we can't group up and push the middle, they will have a hard time playing."
"..."
At the same time.
Edgar objectively analyzed what might happen in the quarterfinals.
"LGD's forced opening is more lethal than RNG's. If you don't want to be uncomfortable in the middle lane in the mid-term, you have to return to defense more often in the middle lane, understand?"
Seeing Crown nod.
Edgar said again: "Also, LGD's offensive efficiency is very high. This team mainly relies on the mid and jungle support, the top lane hoarding, and the conditional four-on-two to open the situation.
Because of this, they rarely miss.
Because if the laning can't be opened, they will use the mid laner to roam and have a round of more against fewer, so as to seek the rhythm of the next wave.
In addition, the fighting ability of the middle lane is also crucial. Karsa and Eimy will help the middle lane accumulate advantages by counter-camping or ganking along the way.
Although I hate to say it, the reason why LGD's offensive efficiency is high is based on the premise that there are few mistakes in the middle line.
So what we have to do is not to force Penicillin to make mistakes, but to try to delay him. "
This last sentence is entirely for the Crown.
This is also the way the SSG coaching staff thought hard about how to reduce Penicillin's presence.
If you have to say it.
The mid laners on both sides are doing nothing, which is only good for SSG but not bad.
After all, Crown cannot use its own laning ability to gain lane rights like Penicillin, and then help its teammates open up the situation through roaming support.
It’s not that Crown is arrogant and unwilling to learn from Penicillin.
It's Penicillin's style of play that tests the ability to read the game too much. Moreover, Penicillin can still be played even though it sacrifices some development. This does not mean that it does not matter if others are disadvantaged.
Next.
SSG simulates BP.
Edgar listed Xiao Pao, Xia Luo, Prince Galio, Jace Tree, Emerald God Double Shot and Clockwork Nightmare.
"How are we going to fight the first development bar and Nightmare?" LGD's hero pool is too deep and there are not enough bans. If you go to the red side, there is no way to dismantle the combination.
"You can't use soft support to defeat Clockwork Nightmare." CoreJJ said directly: "The strong point of this combination is to reduce the number of people in front of the team and fill up the damage. If you want to crack it, you have to make it difficult for Nightmare to fly."
"SKT was constantly beaten that day because Clockwork's development was too good. And after being kicked out, no one helped AD fend off the Nightmare."
"But if LGD wants to play, they will definitely ban Xia or grab it themselves."
"If they block Xayah, they will definitely not have enough bans in the first round. I can use Tahm Kench or Tau Tau, and then AD will bring a barrier to protect myself. As long as I don't get blocked the first time, I can find opportunities to counterattack later."
"What about the side road?"
Nightmare Clockwork also poses a high threat to the wing.
“If they want to catch them, they need to send out 2 to 3 people. We can take the opportunity to knock down the middle tower and sweep the upper half of the area.
Moreover, SKT lost because they couldn't bring out the defensive equipment. As long as we can hold on to the economy and find opportunities to supplement the golden body and resurrection armor, Nightmare Clockwork is not that easy to use the combination's fire advantage. "
It sounds like a good idea.
At least I have a clear idea of the matchup in my mind.
However, Emperor Chi felt that it was not that simple, but he couldn't explain the reason, but he felt a little empty in his heart.
In fact.
He could only hear one thing from these discussions, and that was that they were particularly afraid of Penicillin's performance.
He was thinking: When could he be so feared by his opponents?
Subsequent training matches.
Seeing Crown playing Karma and being the first to die in a team fight, An Bixin yelled hysterically: "Are you playing seriously? Ah! Or do you plan to fight LGD in this state?"
behind.
Edgar frowned and said, "Why are you so angry during the training match?"
"Asiba."
After An Bixin gave him a death stare, he stood up and poured himself water to suppress the unknown fire in his heart. He didn't understand why he was so angry.
But he couldn't help it.
He is already 25 years old. He doesn't dare to think that he won't be able to break through this year. What will those people think of him?
Is he going to live his whole life with the label of a loser?
If he didn't have a championship, no one would think he was strong.
When talking about the ID Ambition, we will always talk about the upgraded Mantis in front of the tower, as if his career was condensed by that one shot, and Xiba is still a clown.
certainly.
Everyone pretended not to notice the jungler's gaffe.
in Korea.
It is very common for seniors to lecture juniors. No one thinks there is anything wrong with what An Bixin did. The only problem is that the tone does not have to be so harsh.
CuVee resisted the urge to roll his eyes and mentioned, "We still have time."
"Time?" An Bixin drank the water and shouted loudly: "Yes, what we lack most is time."
"Calm down." Edgar reassured.
There was dead silence in the living room.
Everyone is thinking about what An Bixin said.
Because Chi Di feels that they really seem to be short of time. If LGD is not drawn in the quarterfinals, they may not be so impatient mentally.
Pressed down by a huge mountain.
Everyone in SSG is losing patience. It’s just that some people have a higher level of patience and some people have a lower level of patience.
at night.
CoreJJ faintly heard someone crying in his sleep. He got up and turned to look at the bed next door and found Crown holding the quilt, secretly calling someone.
"I am so tired……"
He breathed in, tears streaming down his face, "I'm afraid of facing off against him and being pressured by my teammates. The thought of losing makes me uncomfortable...Mom, I may not be suitable for playing professionally."
CoreJJ sighed as he listened.
He hates the atmosphere within the SSG team, but he can't change it. As a Korean, he was fed up with so-called respect for his seniors.
In this late night.
CoreJJ suddenly misses his days in the North American division. At that time, although I always lost, I could still get happiness from the game.
He could understand Crown's pain.
As an assistant, he would be scolded by An Bixin if he didn't do a good job in ward positioning. It felt very bad to be scolded by his peers.
I think the contract expires at the end of the year.
He began to consider whether staying in LCK to compete for the championship was a good choice. The facts of the past two years told him that enduring fatigue does not necessarily lead to results.
Three days passed in a flash.
After the stage of mindless curses, the verbal battle between WE and RNG reached a new height, and netizens began to carefully think about what kind of content could anger the opponent.
"Xiaohu, not only Qing Yi'er, but also Fei Yi'er, just wait and see if you don't believe it."
"Bang has a story about beating Uzi."
"Although Huni is a bit abstract, ordering food should be no problem."
Hearing these words.
RNG fans were furious.
But they could only talk about nightclubs, after all, this was the first time WE2.0 entered the world competition, and they couldn't look back on the classics.
On the other side.
Qin Hao and others left Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and then took a bus to the hotel. Sitting by the window, Qin Hao felt that everything in front of him was very fresh.
Speaking of which, Guangzhou is his second hometown.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, many people from his hometown came here to work.
He just looked greedily at the green belt beside the street, watching people coming and going.
Rested in the hotel for one night.
Everyone rushed to shoot the quarterfinals promotional video the day before the game started.
When asked about his feelings about the achievements, and as a "senior", could he pass on the experience of quickly adapting to LPL to those newcomers who are about to embark on the professional journey.
Facing the camera.
Qin Hao thought for a while and replied: "I would also like to thank my teammates and coaches here."
Fujii's filming team looked at Qin Hao who answered the questions slowly and was very satisfied. Listen, how sensible is this answer?
And there is no need to reshoot a second time, saving a lot of effort.
"As for imparting experience, it may be to communicate more and set higher requirements for yourself in training games."
When saying this.
Qin Hao inexplicably thought of Dalang. He remembered that when Dalang first came to LGD, he said that he had discussed him with his roommates in the dormitory.
"In addition, I hope my juniors can remember that from the moment you embark on the professional path, your only goal is to win the championship."
Hiss!
The director glanced at the photographer and whispered, "I feel like we need to change the scene for this part, and it would be best if we could have a commanding feeling."
They are now shooting the interior scene with a green screen.
In fact.
Most of the promotional videos for the top eight are just a passing scene, saying a few words about wanting to win, and then adding some Guangzhou landmarks in.
The problem is that as a director, there is a certain desire to express.
Seeing Qin Hao's good words, the director remembered the legendary meaning contained in the theme song and felt that this part should not be shot so roughly.
"Where are we going to shoot?"
"Yuexiu Park."
"No problem for me, you are the director anyway." Photographer Lao Zhang joked.
Seeing the staff packing up the equipment, Qin Hao thought the shooting was over and was about to go back to the dressing room to find his teammates. As soon as he turned around, the director shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Hao."
"Huh?"
"You haven't finished shooting your part yet?"
Qin Hao: "???" He remembered that when he was waiting in the dressing room, C Bo, Da Lang and others only shot one point in total.
Qin Hao didn't understand and could only follow the shooting team.
When they got there, the director asked him to look up slightly, so he looked up slightly. When he asked him to climb a small hill, he climbed it. When they went back, C-Bo complained: "Damn, you made us wait for so long."
"I didn't want to either."
Qin Hao roughly explained what happened, and C-Bo looked suspicious: "There is also an outdoor scene? Why didn't I have it?"
But C-Bo didn't dwell on this.
Although he was the captain in name, the outside world thought Qin Hao was.
Qin Hao saw that many people tagged him on Weibo, asking if he had arrived in Guangzhou. Qin Hao posted a photo of the airport with the caption -
"Guangzhou, we are here!"
Just updated the status.
The comment area immediately flooded with many netizens.
[Ha, this time I can see Qingshen offline. ]
[We must win. ]
[Do you have confidence in playing SSG. ]
Netizens have too many questions to ask.
For example, how is the food, how is the sleep, whether you like Guangzhou, and what do you think of the recent battle between RNG fans and WE fans.
Faced with such enthusiasm, Qin Hao can only try to pick some questions to answer.
In a blink of an eye.
The quarterfinals started.
Qin Hao sat on the sofa in the hotel and finally saw the results of the shooting that day. The first half of this promotional video, like previous years, did not have much new ideas.
It was just some highlights of the game, and then inserted the shooting materials of each team member.
Until——
The camera was given to Qin Hao, and the video first talked about thanking his teammates and encouraging the newcomers to set higher standards for themselves in the training match in the form of narration.
Then.
The camera chased Qin Hao's back, as he walked into the park, passed by the Five Goats Stone Statue, and finally walked up the hillside.
In this gradually rising angle.
Qin Hao spoke.
But his first sentence stunned the audience at the scene and in front of the screen.
In the picture, Qin Hao looked down calmly, "I hope my juniors can remember that from the moment you embark on the professional path, your goal is only-champion."
Ah?
No one expected that there would be such cool words hidden at the end of the promotional video. Everyone was talking about cheering for the team, not disappointing the fans, and then defeating xx team.
Why did the style change when it came to Qin Hao?
This indifferent tone, combined with the commanding perspective, makes the audience feel very emotional.
In the commentary booth.
Miller was so emotional that he seemed to recall the moment of winning the championship last year. At the scene, the host was about to introduce the upcoming RNG and SKT, but many people were shouting Qingshen.
Letme was a little confused when he first appeared.
I thought Qin Hao came to the scene to supervise the battle.
Facing the surging barrage, RNG fans took a breath: Damn, you are stealing the camera of my home team, right?
"I am so angry."
"New Bible!!"
"This forces me to give 100 points."
"You are right, Qingshen is indeed qualified to say so. He won the championship just after his debut. You just say the goal, right?"
"If it were someone else, I would say that it happened in my dreams, but if it was Qingshen, then there would be no problem."
"Am I the only one who noticed that the director was a bit too much, the finale plus the special scene design. Others were sitting on high stools shouting, only Qingshen was at the top of the slope."
"Don't ask, just ask the protagonist of the MV."
Amid the rumbling background sound, all the players of SKT and RNG appeared.
The first match of the quarterfinals between China and South Korea broke out.
The strength of the two teams is evenly matched, and either team has the possibility of going to Shanghai.
This round of the quarter-finals was indeed as many viewers imagined, and the game was quite tense.
After Xiaohu killed Faker alone, Huni led the team, Xiaogou VN tenaciously won the next game, and Blank grabbed the Baron and Faker Galio protected four.
The two teams came to the fifth game.
"Do you still want to release Galio?"
"What's wrong with releasing Galio? We can suppress it."
"Believe in General Hu."
"Bang's Kog's mouth, Uzi's Twitch."
The final game was full of twists and turns. Xiangguo once again took the lead in opening the situation and suppressing Blank.
But Galio's key ultimate proved that Brother Li is still Brother Li.
"In this game, it depends on who can't hold on."
It was like confirming C Bo's words.
In the late stage, teammates were pushing the front line, and Twitch was invisible in front of his own high ground, trying to find an angle to steal damage.
Pulling.
SKT was preparing to wait for the next wave of soldiers to come, and Twitch's Q skill disappeared, exposing his position. As a result, they were killed by Bang's Kog'Maw.
As soon as the AD fell, Blank overran the tower and started a team fight, and cooperated with Galio's second entry to tear apart the formation.
"RNG, who we had high hopes for, fell on the road to the top 4..."
Finally.
SKT defeated RNG with a score of 3 to 2.
Under the camera, Uzi's face had already turned red, and his eyes were full of anger.
After the game.
The five Galio releases became a hot topic, and with the three Galio releases in the summer semi-finals, fans built more than 100,000 floors in the official blog group.
The next day.
60E thought WE could easily crush them.
As a result, MSF's black technology, enthusiastic female tank and robot, played two games in a row, and finally relied on Mstic's explosion to get 3 to 2...
