Chapter 373 Dragon and Declaration

What kind of characteristics will a team show before winning the championship?

A broad hero pool?

A hot state?

Or a united team atmosphere?

It seems that no one can tell the answer clearly.

Just like when Bang won the S5 championship and was interviewed to recall his journey in the world championship, he still only felt that the pressure was great and he never relaxed. Instead of feeling that he was pushing forward like the fans did.

Or.

It is because the players are used to making mistakes that they feel that everything is empty until the last moment.

The only correct point is.

When you lose, everything is wrong.

You want to show strength, others say that you are not competitive, you feel uncomfortable, your eyes are slightly red, others say that you are a giant baby on the field, and you are not strong when operating, which will only bring public pressure to your teammates.

Just like this.

The day before the night of the Bird's Nest.

When Bang was interviewed by OGN's column, facing the reporter's question whether he had confidence, the first thing that came to his mind was not how hard he trained or how much support his fans had.

Instead, he remembered the afternoon when he watched LGD play SSG during the Intercontinental Championship. All of them were silenced by the matchup in the middle lane. He remembered that after that game, Faker played Clockwork all night.

"We will try hard..."

Bang hurriedly ended the question because he really didn't know what to say.

He is not the kind of person who likes to express determination. He is afraid of being rushed and afraid of being boomeranged. As a public figure, his words and deeds are no longer under his control.

When the time came to 3:30 in the afternoon.

The voices speculating on the direction of the game never stopped.

"Come on! The last BO5."

"Our mid lane hero pool is deeper than Faker's, and we can completely ban each other's mid lane."

"Don't panic, I feel that Qingshen will definitely get MVP."

"Stay stable in the line and give the ball to the middle lane."

"If I were Cvmax, I would definitely let the middle lane be the last pick."

"If the director dares to cut the microphone again, I will really curse."

"..."

And at the scene.

Song Ming entered the seat through the ticket gate and realized that he was not early. Many people were already sitting in their seats, playing with their phones and chatting with friends.

"Help WE get revenge."

"How much did you buy your ticket for?"

"1,800?"

"I also bought it from a scalper, but it was only 1,500."

"The front row is more expensive, it's been sold for 10,000."

"Forget about not allowing you to bring water, but it costs 6 yuan to buy a bottle."

"These maggots are just making dirty money."

"If it weren't for supporting Qingshen, I really don't want to be treated like a leek by these people."

"It was said that we would take care of it, but the door was full of scalpers."

Hearing this.

Song Ming nodded inexplicably.

If it weren't for cheering for the home team, who would be willing to be a sucker. And after WE's game, there was a wave of condemnation against KOR on the Internet. Many netizens shouted that they must not let the SKT fans at the Bird's Nest exceed their own people.

"Oh, Qingbao!"

"Wow, the final battle."

When the big screen started playing the highlights, only the LGD screen appeared, Song Ming was almost shocked by the cheers around him.

Especially the two girls sitting in the front seat, their voices were simply amazing, which really didn't match their thin bodies.

"They are all very enthusiastic..."

Song Ming laughed.

He never doubted Penicillin's popularity, but this scene still scared him. This reminded me of a saying circulating on the Internet, that is, you must go to the Hangzhou E-sports Arena to watch LGD's game once in your life, saying that the atmosphere is invincible.

Look now.

The atmosphere of the Bird's Nest is even more invincible.

After all, the E-sports Arena plus the second-floor stands can accommodate less than 2,000 spectators, while the Bird's Nest, including the stands, can accommodate 90,000 spectators. Only when you are in it, you know what it means to cheer like a tsunami.

"The atmosphere is so hot before we even enter the venue."

"Of course, everyone in the group has said that we must have a hoarse throat today."

"Why?"

"They didn't get the tickets, so I have to shout for them."

"Also, this is a battle to become a god!" A buddy next to him said to his brother: "If we win, I wonder what excuses those Korean idiots will make. Damn, it's great to beat WE, right?"

"..."

Ah?

Can we share the same voice?

Song Ming couldn't help but marvel when he heard this. As the earliest die-hard fan of Penicillin, he suddenly realized that his awareness was a bit low.

In a blink of an eye.

Several advertisements were played on the big screen.

Then.

The big screen began to count down.

When the whole audience shouted to '1', the logo of Riot Games appeared in front of the audience. Accompanied by the melodious melody, teams flashed back and forth. Finally, when the bird's-eye view of the Bird's Nest appeared, only LGD and SKT were left.

The melody stopped abruptly, and Jay Chou suddenly walked onto the stage.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Jay Chou!"

The atmosphere on the scene became more and more heated.

But Song Ming felt that this song called "Hero" was not good, not as exciting as "Legends Never Die".

Just thought so.

The theme song is coming.

The female lead singer came on the stage from the side. Although her performance was not as perfect as in the recording studio, her momentum was not diminished at all.

Listening to the familiar tune.

Qin Hao stood at the entrance of the passage and suddenly said: "Maybe I am a little selfish, but today I want to hold my destiny in my own hands."

The teammates have not reacted yet.

Cvmax was the first to answer: "As long as you want."

Qin Hao looked at him blankly, with only affirmation in his eyes.

After a while, C Bo muttered: "Did the activity two days ago affect you?" C Bo knew that Qin Hao hated being distracted during preparations, as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"No." This was a word that didn't mean anything.

It's just that Qin Hao doesn't want his teammates to think too much.

"I just thought...well...I should do something."

SKT played two three-two games.

It is not difficult to deduce SKT's lineup from this information. Feeling the atmosphere of the scene, there was an idea in his mind that told Qin Hao: The person on the other side should be anxious.

Qin Hao whispered, "I think they will try Galio first. I won't lose when I grow up."

IMP and Big Wolf looked at each other.

Only C Bo understood something.

When a huge ancient dragon with a ferocious appearance hovered in the air, it finally flapped its wings and landed on the top of the bird's nest, sending out a heart-rending roar to the surroundings.

This is pretty much what it looks like, right?

Qin Hao didn't know how many times he dreamed of the Bird's Nest, imagining that he would compete for the final championship under the watchful eyes of 90,000 spectators. The specific memory has been completely blurred, but the figure on the stage always attracts everyone's attention.

The blood flowing in the body is heating up.

When the staff waved in this direction, C Bo finally said with emotion: "PP, do you think we don't believe you?"

"No."

Qin Hao thought to himself: I just feel it is necessary to express my feelings.

Along with the question marks in the live broadcast room.

The giant dragon flew into the sky and soared for several seconds before disappearing from the nest.

"This is the scene of the finals!"

Ren Dong, wearing a dark purple suit, stepped onto the stage, and his voice was transmitted through the microphone to every corner of the Bird's Nest. "After five weeks of fierce competition, only the last two of the 24 teams are left. And they will also compete here. The real winner of the 2017 season!”

"Let us invite you~~!" Ren Dong drawled, "2016 Global Finals Champion, 2017 Mid-Season Championship - the No. 1 seed from LPL, Hangzhou LGD!!"

"Top order, Langx!"

The old-looking big wolf's steps were stiff.

no way.

The cheers at the scene were a bit loud, and he was a little shocked by the momentum.

"Jungle, Karsa!"

"AD, IMP!"

"Support, PYL, and our mid laner~~"

When Qin Hao followed the queue and appeared, his eyes were deeply attracted by the Summoner's Trophy not far away.

"P~enicillin!!"

【Oh oh oh! ! 】

[Qingshen, look here. 】

【You are great! 】

Ren Dong put down his card and took a deep breath, "Next, let us invite the 2013 Global Finals Champion, the 2015 Global Finals Champion, the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational Champion, and the No. 2 seed from the LCK Division—S~~KT !”

"Top order, Huni!"

"Jungle, Peanut!"

"..."

"And the mid laner, Faker!!"

There is no need for Ren Dong to emphasize it, the audience proved their enthusiasm with their shouts.

It's just that compared to the previous game, LGD, who was supported by the home team, received more cheers.

"Heroes chase legends~~"

A few warm-up words passed.

The director took advantage of the time when both players were debugging their equipment to play the pre-recorded promotional video.

At the foot of the Great Wall, Faker slowly stepped into the camera.

"We lost to LGD last year," he said calmly. "We were beaten twice in the group stage again. Everyone feels that this final will only have the same ending."

The camera slowly zoomed out, and Faker turned around, revealing the iconic team logo on his back, "But, I don't believe in fate until the last minute."

Camera switch.

Qin Hao appeared wearing LGD team uniform.

"For a long time, I didn't quite accept myself. I always wanted to be special and not so ordinary——"

The camera follows Qin Hao towards Juyongguan.

“So I’m always thinking about what I can do to be successful.”

The pace is steady.

There was a unique flavor of young people in his voice.

"...At the same time, I read and heard the words that others asked me. Some were concerned and some were confused. They all thought that I was boring and thought that I should enjoy life after making money.

But I couldn't tell them that this was the life I enjoyed. "

The camera just zoomed out.

White clouds, breeze, a man in a team uniform spread his arms, as if embracing the world.

【What you love is your life! 】

[Qingshen’s attitude towards life is really worth learning from others. 】

[Why does he always speak so nicely? 】

[Is it possible? He didn’t just say it. 】

[The war between the devil and the gods. 】

[I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that Qingshen is brighter than Faker. 】

The barrage was frantically expressing opinions.

And on site.

Song Ming missed the days when he had no job and had a lot of time to help Penicillin fight. It hasn't been long, but it feels very different.

perhaps.

This is youth.

"What do you think of today's game?"

Commentary seat.

After Guan Zeyuan introduced himself, he turned the topic to his partner.

"At this point, the momentum on both sides is quite strong."

Miller glanced at the players' bench.

I didn't see any difference in anyone's expression.

"But after all, we defeated SKT twice in the group, and the two three-to-zero results were very safe..."

I remember suddenly interrupting: "I remember before the game, Brother Guan sent out a score prediction?"

"Yes."

"As a professional commentator, you must dare to make judgments." This is not the first time Guan Zeyuan has said this. I emphasized this sentence to netizens when I was criticized for predicting the score before.

"Teacher Miller, let's go first. Who do you like?"

"Definitely LGD."

"What's the score?"

"Three to one..." Miller thought for a few seconds.

"Brother Guan?"

"I posted it on Weibo." Guan Zeyuan said without fear, "Three to zero. If you have to give a reason, it may be the competitive state shown by the two teams. I feel that this season, Brother Hao's laning skills are unique. Level 1. Can use balanced heroes to push the line. "

"But this one, SKT is playing Peanut, so it may not be able to play 2v2 in the middle or jungle."

"wrong."

Miller suddenly reacted: "We both said the score, but you haven't said it yet. I almost let you get through."

"I'm the one asking the question."

Remember to squint your eyes and snicker.

"Tell me the answer." Guan Zeyuan urged: "If you delay further, you will be admitted to BP."

"Three to one, just like Mr. Miller." I remember chatting: "I watched SKT win the BO5 against WE. Huni seems to have become more stable, and..."

The words just fell.

The music symbolizing BP has sounded.

"According to the news, in terms of guessing coins, we won the priority to choose the side, and Cvmax took the initiative to choose the blue side."

Uh-huh!

The first floor on the left is blocked by Qinggang Ying.

On the right, Eternal blocks Kalista.

then.

The second ban position is given to Leopard Girl, and Nightmare is disabled on the right.

"The last ban in the first round... choose to ban Kalma."

Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "I feel that LGD's idea is very clear. Ban a hero who is better at playing Peanut, and then target the best incense burner mid laner to force Faker to fight in the lane."

Cvmax was prepared and did not panic when he buckled the horse.

We have all reached this point.

Both sides know what their opponents will probably target.

"Should we use Xia Luo in exchange for the prince and Galio?" He asked the team members for their opinions.

"Tear it down," Wolf said. "Replace it this way and we will become a single core."

For forced opening.

SKT lacks confidence a bit.

The so-called doing whatever they want is also a challenge. At least the prince and Galio are not so easy to target Xia Luo. And if you want to use soft support, the opponent will definitely cover the bottom lane.

In this case, you can only go to extremes during the laning period.

Because at the World Championships, the soft support has substantial shortcomings in vision and tower defense, not to mention that this version of the jungle does not need to be brushed, and it will be a headache to play with open cards.

So in Wolf's mind.

Letting go of Xia Luo means that there is no line at level one, it means that it is blocked, and it means that the jungler cannot solve it.

"Then ban Luo."

"..."

"SKT is still hesitating about their last move!"

"We still choose to ban Luo. In this case, many heroes will be released."

"It feels like SKT is going to take Galio. These two are BO5. They value Galio very much."

The words just fell.

The prince on the left, Galio on the right with the female tank.

[Learn RNG, right? 】

[Is it necessary to release Galio? 】

【Gan oh. 】

The barrage was discussed around BP.

Guan Zeyuan was calling for grabbing Ryze.

As a result, the mid laner was not played on the left side, but Xia and Shen were taken.

"Afraid of Galio swinging?"

Guan Zeyuan was puzzled: "I feel like we can play Ryze to be cautious. Even if the opponent changes formation and plays Syndra or Clockwork, I believe Brother Hao can withstand the lane. And regardless of whether Galio is on the top lane or as a support, in fact, None of them play a big role.”

that's all.

The small cannon was locked on the third floor on the right. At this point, Kuuma breathed a sigh of relief. He thought they were going to grab the small cannon on the second and third floors opposite, but he chose Xia in the anti-collision formation.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

Send Tsar and Ryze to the ban position on the right, choose to release the Rock Bird, block the vampires and weapons on the left, and release Gnar.

"Pig sister, the wine barrel is still outside."

"She is still a pig girl." I remember responding: "In this case, the error tolerance is higher."

The selection has come to this point.

The commentators all guessed that a big core should be added to the left side.

This.

This is also the solution approved by Qin Hao.

After the semi-finals, the most obvious feature of Huni is that he gave away less than before. If he chooses a midfielder with a rhythm, the advantage gained may not be enough to end the game.

the most important is.

Qin Hao knows Faker very well.

He just wants to slowly apply pressure and make the opponent anxious.

"Give me the plane."

The fourth and fifth floors on the left are locked on the Bull Head and the Plane, and the Conte position on the right is Gnar.

Just look at the lineup.

Both sides are seeking stability first.
