Chapter 371 What Is Humiliation

The Korean audience is still reflecting overnight.

Of course.

This is not the first time they have seen the region fall into a dilemma.

But compared with the LPL audience, they are still a little less experienced.

After all, LPL audiences felt that LPL was only one breath away from winning the championship when they won two consecutive championships. At that time, the tone was to maintain the second place and fight for the first place. They never thought that S5 would be so dark.

It was also because S5 saw the top 16 of the No. 1 seed, the surrender of the National Day, and the drama of FNC 4-0 that broke the audience's psychological defense line.

How serious is it?

According to the data report given by Fujii, since the S5 World Championship, the viewing data of the S6 Spring Competition has been nearly halved, and the discussion of the game has plummeted. The most serious thing is that the skin is not selling well.

So.

Some anti-bar yellow cards feel quite puzzled when they see the Korean network breaking the defense.

This is just the beginning. LZ lost to LGD and Kaleidoscope Blue God. Although it was a speedrun and a bit like a human-machine game, at least it was in the top four, which is not a big loss.

Let me talk about it.

Since S3, your Korean division has basically swept the top eight whenever it goes to the World Championship. Even though so many viewers called for three seats in the top four this year, SKT was still better, and five Galios sent RNG out.

It's like this, what else are you dissatisfied with?

Has your LCK ever had a record of the top 16 of the No. 1 seed?

Has the representative team lost to the European and American losers in a BO5, and was beaten 4-0?

None of them.

Even the last time they shouted about shame, they were abused by OMG, and they met Lingyao who was in a state of bursting at the peak high ground... Tsk, it doesn't feel too much.

After all, Lingyao only explodes in foreign wars, as if he is holding back something. There is no such feeling in the normal league.

People are burning their little universe, so what's wrong with a flowery boy Watch in the jungle. Watch is a herbivore, and you usually take the blame. It's normal for you to be exploded.

Anyway, if a herbivore jungler encounters a disadvantageous game and his teammates are not strong, his basic data will be very ugly.

The more I think about it.

The anti-bar doesn't understand why the Korean netizens are crazy.

It's just that they were beaten 3-0 twice, is it so uncomfortable? It's not like they were beaten 3-0 by G2. On the contrary, in this group stage, G2 lost to SSG in the last game, and A-P was caught by An Bixin and cried.

At that time, the whole network was saying that An Bixin was too cruel.

It was already three o'clock in the morning.

There were several international students who were still tirelessly moving the Korean discussion posts.

Hearing Tarzan being called a traitor, BDD being called to retire, and Khan being called shameless, the anti-bar people still didn't understand that emotion.

After all, in the eyes of the anti-bar.

Qingshen showed its invincibility early this season. What BDD, Crown, and the league are just messes. How can you expect these two to explode in the world championship?

To put it bluntly.

That part of the operation in the Intercontinental Championship can no longer be replicated.

Because there is no second Crown in the world, or rather, Crown no longer dares to show his sword in front of Penicillin.

When LGD did not ban the mid-lane hero at all during the quarter-finals, the audience understood that Crown could not overcome his inner demons.

It was the quarter-finals.

LGD really respected BDD. In addition to trying to maximize the tactical value of the mid-lane by picking the latter, they also restricted BDD's hero pool in the second round to prevent him from getting a very comfortable push hero.

It was so targeted, isn't it normal for BDD to perform a little worse?

No.

Why are you so angry?

Is the genuine product not worthy of beating the pirated product?

Or can the fake jungler who was kicked out by LGD be compared with the real jungler? Can you, LZ, play the mid-jungle linkage? You usually rely on the top jungle c in the league, and can you become the mid-jungle c in the world game?

The yellow cards have ten thousand question marks in their hearts.

The more I read the comments on Korean websites, the less I understand what they are angry about.

If this emotion is magnified to the sports world.

Those people who are like gods before the game have all been crushed. The reason why competition is so exciting is that clown incidents happen all the time, and the strength is not so absolute.

Maybe just one hour of superman mode.

It can bring the gods of the world down to earth.

As for the Korean netizens.

Most of them are not interested in following the games of other regions. And thanks to the fact that South Korea really treats e-sports as an industry, they see hype news every day.

So the fame of a newcomer is often hyped by the media.

Just like when Faker came out of nowhere, everyone forgot his predicament in the S3 semi-finals, because the media does not allow gods to have weaknesses, and they will not report these.

In addition, if you don’t watch the game, your views can easily become extreme, and you can’t accept the reality of the fall of gods.

Because in the eyes of these people, S6 was just stolen by LGD.

Blame the coaching staff for being incompetent, and blame Blank and Bengi for being too outrageous, otherwise they would have ended the game 3-1.

They didn't watch the game.

They only watched the slices and comments, and then built a set of rating posts.

Besides, it takes more than ten years to really get to know someone. But fans only need one report to like an idol.

Just like Qin Hao will also meet many people who don't watch the game but come to support him.

In their hearts, Qin Hao is hardworking and motivated, and is simply a new-age idol. No, he is more like an idol than an idol. After all, idols need to do business and please fans, but Qin Hao relies on technology to make a living.

Or, idols who focus on their careers make them more favorable.

It's very strange, right?

Although the whole world knows that as long as you are a human being, you will always have someone to please, but they firmly believe that idols will not show off their laughter easily, and they like to emphasize this point.

If someone says it is for sale, it will feel cheap and boring.

It’s like getting a brand endorsement.

It must have been because of its own value that impressed xx, rather than because of a joke.

Same reason.

There are many preconditions for why Korean fans are uncomfortable.

For example, after the Korean media lost in the intercontinental competition, they repeatedly promoted that LZ was the only team that did not lose to the LPL;

For example, Tarzan’s title of wild king and Khan’s title of top player in the world (in the Top 20, he is the highest ranked top laner);

Another example is that LZ was praised as the savior when nothing happened, thinking that they could take over SKT and get back the Summoner's Trophy they lost in S6.

LZ has been given so much meaning.

The result was a score of three to zero.

After the game, I will say that it is not the top lane version.

West Eight.

Could the audience be angry just because they were humiliated on the field? No, it's the loss of charm.

The audience suddenly discovered that LZ did not lose to LPL in the intercontinental competition. It was not that they were stronger, but they were just lucky not to encounter LGD.

Suddenly I discovered that LZ was able to win the Summer Championship not because of its gold content, but because the division as a whole became weaker and SKT no longer dominated in the past two years.

Wait until the audience starts recalling S3 and S5.

Those passers-by who were led astray by the self-media and fanatical fans are increasingly convinced that LZ likes marketing.

so.

Is this LZ's fault? Is it wrong to not take credit?

The Korean E-Sports Association attaches great importance to LOL. The problem is that except SKT, which has no worries about traffic, other teams are quite lacking.

to this end.

They can only create gimmicks.

Otherwise, when the Faker era is over, who will help LCK attract the world's attention?

To put it harshly, all competition regions are lacking stars. Just like North American clubs have invested a lot of money, the league's viewing data ranks at the bottom of the four major divisions.

And want to cultivate market demand from scratch.

The quickest way is to create a superstar.

Let the superstar drive the circle expansion and become an anchor point that attracts the audience to invest their time.

It's like taking the NBA back to before the Jordan era.

What they can do is to discover superstars, market superstars, and then constantly look for successors.

so.

Korean media likes marketing, which is a reflection of LCK’s professionalism.

LCK wants to launch a second and third star that attracts the audience's attention before draining Faker's value.

As for being angry...

Does it matter?

Even being like a clown in a circus is better than being unknown and no one cares. There are so many people criticizing football, but does anyone criticize baseball?

oh.

There is no soil for baseball in China.

That's okay.

Although the Korean audience found the phrase "the only team that has never lost to the LPL" harsh, it at least aroused discussion and made foreign audiences recognize Khan.

To put it harshly.

It's also a loss, but SSG didn't cause so much discussion.

These reactions point to a reality: the lack of controversy is just superficial and no one pays attention to the inside.

Just like CuVee, he has been playing professionally for so many years, but he is not as popular as Khan who just debuted.

~~~

After causing controversy.

After receiving some outrageous remarks, LZ management was a little bit embarrassed. They couldn't figure out what the loss of four games into two games had to do with the lack of gold content in the Xia Guan.

then.

LZ issued a statement late at night, thanking the players for their hard work along the way. At the end of the article, they also posted the Summer Championship trophy.

What LZ management wants to express is very simple.

Being guilty in the S game does not mean that the league honor should be deprived. Just because you played poorly this time doesn't mean you didn't play well last time.

【What does it mean? 】

[I feel bad about being sprayed. 】

[There are just as many clubs as there are players. 】

[The top four in the world (×) top laner (√)]

[It is recommended to correct your identity. 】

[Laughing to death, why rely on LZ to save you? I feel embarrassed when I think of LZ fans. 】

at the same time.

Cvmax stretched himself to prepare for bed. When he passed by the gaming room and rubbed his eyes, he heard some movement inside.

Cvmax was startled, and then he stuck his head out to take a look, and then saw a particularly familiar figure from behind.

hiss……

Cvmax stared blankly at the empty seats on the left and right, thinking: Is this burning?

As a former SSB substitute top laner.

He has seen many hard-working players in the circle. After all, in the Korean Division, hard work is worthless. Those who can make it out of the youth training camp must at least be diligent.

But no matter how diligent you are.

Humans are not machines either.

It is impossible to face the rankings one after another like Furui Muha.

the most important is.

Seven or eight hours ago, they just finished the game against LZ. In that BO5, everyone was relatively concentrated.

Anyone who has experienced how tiring it is to concentrate will understand.

Just like that.

After the dinner, Cvmax didn’t even want to review the trading. Firstly, I feel that LZ is not very strong, and secondly, I want the players to take a good rest and not be in a hurry.

It turns out it's four or five in the morning.

The gaming room still echoed with the vague and vague sound of tapping the keyboard, snap, snap, snap, snap.

"Xiao Hao?"

Cvmax said as he walked closer.

Qin Hao heard some noise, but he was operating, so he didn't look back.

The next second.

Someone gently took off his headphones and asked, "Are you still awake?" Cvmax noticed that Qin Hao was playing with the airplane.

"There is no game tomorrow..."

Qin Hao replied casually and continued to have sex.

"..."

Cvmax didn't expect to get such an answer. He was a little helpless. After all, as early as the spring game, he knew that Qin Hao was a more independent person.

"There's no competition...but aren't you tired?"

"fine."

After a few seconds, Qin Hao replied: "I'm just tired for the past few days. When the S game is over, I won't be tired even if I want to."

This is still correct nonsense.

Everyone knows that the S game determines the value of a player.

"Go to sleep after this." Cvmax just advised. If Langx and PYL were sitting here, he would not persuade them.

"I'll go to bed when I'm sleepy."

in the screen.

The plane steadily fired a missile to kill the remaining blood Ryze.

When he found a bush and returned to the city, Qin Hao turned around and showed a flattering smile: "Coach, you know, I fall asleep very quickly."

Is this something worth showing off?

Cvmax heard C Bo talk about Qin Hao sleeping on a pillow, but he still couldn't laugh or cry. After all, he was not discussing the sleeping situation with Qin Hao.

A few words of advice.

Qin Hao was unmoved.

The outside world said that Qin Hao listens to the coach's words more, and in the BP voice released, he always discusses with the coach, which has become another proof for the audience to praise good players.

But only Cvmax and Heart know how stubborn Qin Hao is. Fans will never get a chance to see this.

finally.

Cvmax couldn't resist the sleepiness and lost to Qin Hao again. As a Korean, black coffee and various liver-protecting tablets flow in his blood.

Even so.

He couldn't defeat the gods either.

It was the next day.

Regarding the other semi-final, netizens gave a lot of previews.

Some people use the intercontinental competition to prove that Xiye is not inferior to Faker, and some people use the league performance to discuss it, thinking that after WE improves its mid-to-late game operations, it can compete with SKT.

Some people also say that there is no need to worry at all when seeing the two IDs of Huni and Blank.

But most.

I still applaud SKT.

These people feel that the SKT World Championship is changing. After the quarterfinals defeated RNG, a new round of evolution was completed.

Because in this BO5, Faker found the feeling of one guaranteeing four. This is something S3, S5, and Sr don't understand.

If S6 he knows this trick.

In the final, Penicillin won't be blocked in the middle.

certainly.

Regarding this point of view, many people think that Galio is too supermodel, and Faker will definitely not be able to relieve the offensive pressure if he is replaced by Yanjai.

The only problem is.

WE is not RNG.

These are two teams with obviously different styles.

Oriental Sports Center.

The cheers received by SKT when they came out were even louder than those of WE.

No matter how 60E gives gold to ancient WE.

The fact is.

Their popularity in China cannot be compared to EDG, RNG, LGD, let alone SKT.

"Whose home field is this?"

"A little embarrassed for WE."

"Why are there so many signs cheering for SKT?"

"Wori."

Barrage aspect.

WE won.

In terms of real money, WE lost.

certainly.

The most fucked up thing is.

Even the directing team is willing to give Faker the most shots. Several close-ups were cut out, causing screams from the fans at the scene.

"That's disgusting."

"Hahan's dog, yuck."

There were complaints at the scene.

"Don't worry, this is a club game, and it depends on your mother's nationality."

"Labour and management support whoever they want to support, but they don't support nightclub guys anyway. A little bit."

"I paid for the ticket, but you still don't let me hold a light sign saying "Brother Li is cheering"? Who the hell is this? You are so lenient.

"..."

Not yet.

A conflict broke out on the spot.

Across the aisle.

Those who support WE look down on those who support SKT, thinking the latter is lowly and like a dog; but the latter thinks the former is sick and comes offline with money, so why should they be looked down upon.

After all this game.

Except for a few lucky people, everyone else relies on increased prices to get tickets from scalpers. And compared with supporting overseas, holding the competition domestically this time can save the wallets of Faker fans.

"Condi doesn't look very good."

hotel.

C Bo ate snacks and made a comment.

"When I hear so many voices cheering for SKT, it's normal to have some thoughts in my mind."

Karsa said: "When I competed in Kaohsiung three months ago, I heard someone scolding me when I went on stage. People were numb at the time."

Karsa can sympathize with this.

After all, you are competing at home, so you have some desire to perform, but it turns out that the "hometown elders" are not that supportive of you... Gan.

Enter Summoner's Rift.

In the first game, WE gave 957 to get Kennen, and during the laning phase, they guarded the tower one-on-two, killed the jungler who was resisting the tower, and successfully ran away.

Entering the mid-term.

Relying on 957, even if WE makes some mistakes and loses points inexplicably, it still maintains its advantage and initiative on the scene.

Arrived at 28 minutes.

At the stalemate, 957 hid in the grass and waited for Huni who was out of the tower to eat the line, successfully killed him alone, and then threatened the high ground to force him back to defend, involving SKT's formation, and helped his teammates in the upper half to control the big dragon.

Then it was not until the 36th minute.

WE won the game by destroying the tower.

It was the second round.

SKT changed its strategy, gave up the game between Luo and Galio, and chose Tsar. Then the two sides fought for 41 minutes, and finally relied on Faker and Blank to steal the ancient dragon under the lamp, and SKT got back the score.

"Mystic is a bit anxious."

Qin Hao sat on the sofa and watched the game with his teammates. After watching these two games, the bottom lane didn't play too well.

Entering the third round.

WE used the Shen and Galio system, and from the beginning of the laning period, it guaranteed the development environment of the bottom lane core, and finally won the game by maintaining the ranking.

[Can Blank die! ]

When the Korean audience roared.

Kouma didn't choose to be stubborn, but gave Peanut a chance. Under such pressure, SKT chose the combination of Graves and mid-lane Karma to limit Xiye, who had a good feel.

Everything went smoothly.

Until the 29th minute, WE's outer towers were all destroyed and the economy was 10,000 behind. Condi's Gragas had no way to limit Graves, and he didn't know who to bomb in team battles.

Same.

After experiencing the loss in the previous game, fans cheered for SKT. Xiye took off his headphones at the time and listened to the deafening cheers of Faker, and was in a trance for several seconds.

I don't know if his mentality was affected.

Or something else.

In the fifth game, WE became very impatient and wanted to defeat the opponent in one wave and win the game.

As a result, after the early advantage, they started two waves of river team fights in a row, but they didn't win.

"Xiye!"

Looking at the screen, Xiye's Kassadin was chased and killed by Peanut's Graves, and the commentator finally couldn't control his inner anxiety.

"With Kassadin and Kog'Maw, I don't think we should be in a hurry."

PDD, as a guest, also couldn't control his emotions.

At 22 minutes, Peanut invaded and found Condi, who was two levels behind, and cooperated with Huni to kill him.

At 29 minutes, Nash Baron let out a shrill roar and fell to the ground helplessly.

At this time, the WE fans at the scene fell into a dead silence. Many people chose to leave early, unwilling to hear the cheers from the seats next to them.

At 32 minutes, WE's lower high ground was broken, and Xiye's harassment was caught by Wolf.

"Congratulations to SKT..."

"The last hope of LCK, the last face of South Korea, please take this hope and fight LGD."

Compared with the weak LPL commentator, the Korean side expressed their true feelings.

That night.

The poster for the final was released in advance.

In the photo, Qin Hao and Faker stood side by side. The Bird's Nest, as the venue for the final battle, became the background board for the two.
