Chapter 498: First Round of Semifinals, the Troops Attack

Along with the column article, there are also high-energy voices from the group stage.

When netizens found Pray's neurotic shouting "Watch Zed, watch Zed", they were a little bit nervous.

[Are you so scared? ]

[Nonsense, Zed can easily kill him with his development. ]

[The current situation of AD. ]

[Woo, don't persecute AD players. ]

[I love Qingshen for his goodness. ]

[Haha. ]

In the nearly 5-minute clip.

The anti-bar has kindly added Chinese subtitles for the bar friends to enjoy. In addition, another content that has been highlighted is the front-page headline reprinted from the ESPN website, titled——

"The Chosen One: The Youngest Two-time Champion in History".

At the beginning of the article, there is also an index written by the columnist: "He is not only the most popular professional e-sports player in China, but will also change the world's view of e-sports."

Afterwards.

The article reviewed Penicillin's career path, and the first-year fans were surprised to find that the happiness of LPL viewers was built on the pain of LCK viewers.

For example, Faker's two consecutive defeats, Kouma's departure, and the catching of the traitor;

For example, Crown talked about his frustration in S6, which made him not want to touch League of Legends for a while;

For example, Wolf's semi-retirement, BDD's piracy, Khan's champion face... These players who have the ability to represent LCK are all defeated by Penicillin.

However...

What makes netizens feel the most scalp tingling is not the above results, but the answer given by Penicillin.

Obviously, he has so many honors and so many sustenances, but he can still maintain a high-intensity training volume.

Not a buddy.

Don't you have any burdens?

Even Faker will collapse, shake his hands, and suddenly complain about himself, but Penicillin has never revealed his jade side. Including the loss to EDG in the S6 regular season, it is normal to accept the defeat.

It is said that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

But in this report, all you can see is open-mindedness, optimism, and positivity. At the end of the article, the website also attached several interview photos.

Looking at the side face of the iconic smile.

One netizen said with emotion: "Just like the dialogue: You performed better than we thought."

[Love it. 】

This message hit many people's hearts at once. After all, after the first championship, they were criticized for avoiding laning and only knowing how to play in groups. It is unimaginable that they can continue to improve under so much public pressure.

In the words of a netizen: If it were me, I would give up.

Anyway, I don't have the right to be free from criticism, and the annual salary is not low, so why work so hard.

Is it not good to lie down, or other games are not fun...

Or.

How many people are willing to support 996? It's not for those losers, trading health for money.

When the whole network was hotly discussing this report.

Maple said disdainfully: "Just take a look, don't take it seriously."

Putting himself in his shoes, Maple thought that Penicillin was not as good as the article said. How could e-sports players not have resentment, and how could they regard practicing heroes as a way to relax.

This statement is just to fool people outside the circle.

Before James left the Cavaliers, he was still the representative of one man and one city. He talked about love in interviews, and his fans mocked others for sticking together. What happened?

Just listen to what the media says.

One point of effort is 10 points in the eyes of the media, and one point of sincerity is indestructible in the media's writing. Even self-discipline and partying in the bar can be said to be true nature.

Snake: "But he has been ranked first for three consecutive seasons." Snake admires this point very much, because he can't do it anyway. And it's impossible to touch League of Legends during the holidays, let alone start teaching how to rank up.

Hanabi agreed: "We (interviews) will also say some polite words, which is normal."

"Which side are you on?" Maple said angrily: "You can't beat him, but why flatter him."

Maple was very unhappy.

In the past two years, people always talk about Penicillin when talking about lol. Like flies on a horse, they buzz around him.

After being criticized, Sheshe remained gentle: "I still remember that when he returned to his hometown, he would broadcast the ranking game even without a camera. When I saw his live broadcast room, I was still thinking about practicing Luo during the holiday, but it was just a thought."

"Ha."

Betty laughed: "I was browsing the forum and saw someone typed more than a thousand words to criticize my bad performance. I was really angry at that time. As a result, I practiced hard for a few days, and I felt a little stupid again. My mentality was affected by a comment."

Seeing that his teammates were getting more and more biased, Maple complained: "I admit that he is better and more hardworking than me, but he always yells and wishes the whole world knew.

And his group of NC fans always use this to make a fuss." Compared with people like Penicillin and GimGoon, he was definitely classified as "self-destructive".

Sheshe was very surprised: "If someone interviews him, they will definitely talk about this topic. Besides, if I have achieved some success, I will definitely hope that others will praise me. Otherwise, where will the motivation come from?"

"Yes."

Hanabi stretched out her tone: "I heard from Sister Xiaobi that she will co-organize the competition area with Southeast Asia next year, and most of the games will be played online in the future...

I was thinking, just wearing headphones and playing online in the training room, what's the difference between that and a training game?"

This made everyone silent.

When Sheshe thought about how he had established a connection with SN management and had not yet told his teammates that he would leave for the summer season, he felt a little sorry for his brothers.

But when he thought about only being able to play online games and having a lower contract than last time, Sheshe felt wronged and thought that he should not waste his career.

Eh…

Sheshe sighed in his heart and listened to Hanabi's mumbling. He said that even if they merged, they would still be the first-tier team, and that Southeast Asia was full of noobs, so it didn't matter whether they merged or not.

At this time, Sheshe wanted to talk to Maple again, only to find that his eyes were a little evasive - did he think what we said made sense?

Sheshe understood Maple's hostility towards people in the same position.

If he was compared with other supports by netizens, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. It's just that he thinks Maple hates Xiaohu and Penicillin a little too much.

Obviously, apart from the game, there is no intersection...

~~~

3 pm.

Sheshe and his group went to the Zenith Stadium.

At this time, the ticket check had not started yet. Sheshe glanced at the seats through the passage, and her heart began to pound: Compared with the venues for the group stage, this place can be used to hold football matches!

At a glance.

The stands were surrounded by plastic seats, so many that they could not be counted.

"Wow."

Betty was excited with a hint of nervousness: "At least tens of thousands of people can sit here."

"This is the feeling of a game." Hanabi immediately dismissed Berlin's hosting qualification.

At the same time.

Also because of the interview, Lao Ma asked a completely different question: "Brother Hao, have you ever encountered something particularly uncomfortable since you started playing professionally?"

Of course.

The day after winning the championship, MaRin clearly stated that he would leave the team, and it was also there that he knew that all good things must come to an end;

The contract was about to expire, and the queen mother took the live broadcast contract provided by Huya and said that it was all for his consideration, and then Zhangkou deceived Yewang into reducing his salary. At that time, I felt sorry for Yewang.

But all these are in the past.

"If you encounter something unpleasant, you may not feel so uncomfortable after a while."

"Tsk tsk."

Old Ma made a strange sound: "There is a story!"

"Ah, yes, I also encountered a pangolin in my childhood. I was also six years old."

Old Ma: ...

"I have changed now." Old Ma was not convinced.

Qin Hao imitated Brother Mai and pretended to be serious: "Well, report more useful information in the competition and talk less nonsense. Be good~~" Qin Hao couldn't help it and laughed out loud after he finished speaking.

"Fuck."

When Old Ma saw Qin Hao laughing, the corners of his mouth rose. He liked being teased by Qin Hao. After laughing, even the boredom of daily life was reduced a lot.

One hour later

Regarding the semi-final BO5, Cvmax took the initiative to propose: "Given FW's level, we should add some game content."

Qin Hao hesitated: "Wouldn't it be better to get off work early?"

Cvmax persuaded in a gentle voice: "Compared with when Karsa was there, is this Flash Wolves weaker?"

"Yeah?"

"When you see these IDs, are you thinking of winning 3-0?"

"Yeah?" The tone rose.

"People say that our lineup is changeable, but the combination shown in the official game is less than half of the training game."

"Yeah." This is the most certain.

"Is there a difference between the training game and the official game?"

"Yeah."

"If you don't rely on the official game to find confidence, how can you verify the rationality of the combination."

"Hiss."

In front of everyone, Qin Hao hesitated and nodded: "It seems to make sense." Thinking of being able to enrich the solution and verify the strength of the combination, Qin Hao found it very interesting.

It is said that professional players are all based on the person.

If the opponent's ID is changed to Scout or Rookie, Qin Hao will probably give up the idea.

"Then it's settled."

Cvmax didn't mean to make Qin Hao feel entangled: "If we lose a game, we will follow the (version) formula." Anyway, there is room for error, so let's warm up first.

Seeing Qin Hao nod, Cvmax inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. Based on his understanding of the eldest disciple, if he doesn't support the work, it will be awkward when he goes on stage for BP.

It has to be said.

Ever since he knew that Qin Hao's new contract included team shares, Cvmax always felt that he should discuss more with Qin Hao. Of course, he has some respect for Qin Hao's temperament.

Although when he was playing professionally, he often heard that Cricket Coach didn't pay attention to substitutes and talked nonsense, but in fact he didn't fight that hard.

After all, some things have nothing to do with age.

Compared with Qin Hao, he didn't cherish the opportunity when he was playing professionally. He just wanted to stand on that stage, and didn't have the idea of ​​staying.

"Then... what should I play in the first game?"

Cvmax said calmly: "Flexible and adaptable."

Qin Hao: ...

What's the difference between this and not saying it?

Qin Hao muttered to himself and stopped talking. On the side, Peanut was still confused. After Brother Gongzi finished translating, he realized that the coach did not emphasize the tactical focus before the game.

Everyone was very quiet.

Kouma was even talking to the training team about mentality, because the SKT manager called him to complain the day before yesterday, saying that the team was a mess and they kept their words to themselves. He also said that U Huang almost quarreled with Wolf.

The reason was that Wolf and Bang were eating in the cafeteria, and said that top laners like Untara could not get out of the youth training camp before (the subtext was that the current players were not as good as before).

Seeing Wolf taking advantage of his age, U Huang just came over with a plate and was so angry that he poured out the food. He rushed back to the dormitory with red eyes and cried.

"So."

Kou Ma sighed: "The difficulty of coaching is never how to play, but how to manage."

"Yes."

"If there is a role model in the team, the coach's work will be much easier."

When saying this.

Kou Ma tried not to look at Jin Dahu's face, fearing that the other side would show off again. But what can he say? Penicillin and Jin Gong are the kind of people who can be good captains. With them, even if there are troublemakers, he will obey them even if they scold him.

Just like this incident.

Wolf has opinions about U Huang, not just because U Huang played badly, but the old players will naturally compare the new players with a critical mentality.

In Wolf's eyes, those who have won the championship and have good memories are his brothers, and you U Huang? It is precisely because of leading SKT that Kou Ma knows that Wolf is sometimes really hurtful.

Because he doesn't like other supports to cover him, and he hates people to be stupid.

Soon.

The staff came to remind him, and Qin Hao followed the coach to the entrance of the corridor, waiting for the host to announce the show.

"The seats are not full."

Lao Ma stretched his neck and found that there was an empty spot in the south stand.

"Do you think this is the final at the Bird's Nest?"

Lao Zei said, "This stadium has more than 60,000 seats, and there are handrails on the top circle, so the audience can stand and watch."

"Oh."

Lao Ma said stupidly, "How do you know?"

"..."

"I searched on Google."

Lao Zei was actually a little excited, so when he heard Lao Ma say stupid things, he subconsciously defended him.

"Let us use the warmest applause to welcome the 2016 World Finals champion, the 2017 World Finals champion, the mid laner from the Top team - P~~"

"Penicillin!!"

The host waved to the corridor, and as soon as Qin Hao appeared, white dry ice rushed out from both sides of the stage.

"Ahhhh~~"

"Qingbao!"

"Hao Shen, look here!"

Qin Hao heard the accent of his hometown. There were people from Hunan Province shouting "Look this way" at the scene. Following the sound, Qin Hao tilted his head and saw two brothers waving small flags and shouting.

Qin Hao couldn't help but waved at this side.

When his buddy saw it, he was very proud: "I hooked eight blue veins to burst, finally it was not in vain."

After such an episode.

In the commentary booth, facing the hot atmosphere on the scene, Guan Zeyuan was very excited: "There is no need to say more about this BO5, whoever wins will enter the finals."

"Since Karsa left the team, Flash Wolves has never missed the international stage, and compared with the past, even the ranking has not changed." Miller joked, hinting that Flash Wolves will lose tonight.

"It's mainly because of Maple and Snake." Guan Zeyuan commented: "No matter how bad it is, it won't be that bad."

Wawa interrupted: "I'm a little curious about how the BP will be in the first game. Generally speaking, the first game of BO5 is basically based on testing."

Miller: "Hmm..."

As soon as the voice fell.

Top gave everyone a surprise.

After the regular three bans and the full opening of the middle lane, Top, who got the blue side, took the initiative to grab Ezreal, and then Flash Wolves sent out the jungle according to the version, and took away Sejuani and Kaisa.

The reason for not sending out the support first is very simple.

First, they were afraid of Xiaohuasheng's Sejuani. Second, if they didn't fight for Titan, they could also use Minotaur, Luo, and Morgana as alternatives. In the eyes of the team at that time, Kaisa had many partners, and they didn't particularly favor Titan.

Because Kaisa had only been on the field for 2 months.

Most ADs didn't dare to fly, and basically used the ability of the evolved Q to clear the line and cooperate with the team to occupy the middle, so they didn't need to force the opening.

Even RNG would use Janna to partner with Kaisa, protect the person who came in as the C position, and play Kaisa as a cannon.

Later, Guan Zeyuan was still talking about the possibility of Olaf, Scorpion, and Kindred, and then Top locked Centaur and Maokai in the second and third hands.

"???"

"Centaur as jungler, Treant as support?"

"That should be it. You can't just do a Renaissance and let Gongzi go. These two heroes have been eliminated in the top lane long ago."

"It's hard to say."

Miller gave a different opinion: "Before Coach Cvmax turned behind the scenes, he was known as the best Centaur in Korea. Is it possible that he passed on his experience of playing Centaur to Jimugong!"

"Ah."

Guan Zeyuan was stunned for a moment: "Who can Centaur play against in the top lane? It has nothing to do except fast return to the line. And this is not the previous line-swapping version. There is no need to eat in the top lane."

The commentator doesn't understand.

But the audience likes it.

[Haha, the commentator is numb. ]

[I guess it's Centaur as jungler, Treant may be in the top lane. ]

When the barrage was speculating fiercely.

Flash Wolves honestly made up for the Ice Maiden. Anyway, this game is to protect Kai'Sa, and the mid lane only needs to push the line and develop, and not be broken by Penicillin.

That's it.

In the second round, Flash Wolves banned Leblanc and Irelia to ensure that the mid lane could be played, and then helped Snake choose his most proud Minotaur.

Now.

Flash Wolves' lineup is roughly formed, basically double front row plus stable control chain plus Kaisa harvesting, and the top lane only needs to make up some damage.

"If you play against Ashe, Hao has a very useful hero!"

"What?"

"Card." Guan Zeyuan is full of confidence: "Card's radiation range is larger than Ashe, just protect the side lane and speed up the rhythm. Moreover, Flash Wolves' mid and jungle are all control, lacking continuous damage."

Miller: "..."

Wawa: "No problem."

The next second.

Seeing Top's choice, Guan Zeyuan widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Xiao Fa?"

bass.

After the lock, Top added crabs on the fifth floor.

"This hero has no answer...it feels like Ice Girl is pushing the line randomly."

"Just believe it first."

"The combination of people and horses seems to have a bit of a picture."

final.

Listening to the urging of his teammates, Hanabi replaced Kennen, who he didn't play much. There is no way, Nakano Suke has to enter the field, and the team still lacks AOE, so he can only come out from Kenan and Captain.

Question Crab Conte Captain…

The lineup is settled——

Top (blue) top laner Crab, jungler (sprint), mid laner Xiaofa, bottom lane ez (teleport) plus tree (weak)

FW (red) top laner Kennen, fighting wild boar girl, mid laner Ice Girl, bottom lane Kai'Sa (purification) with Niutou (weak)

The game is still loading.

The audience was already excited. They didn't expect the BP in the first game to be so exciting. On the left, except Crab and ez, they are all uncommon heroes.

[Maggie begins. 】

【Fight without regrets! 】

[It’s embarrassing, there are often Xiaofa beating Ice Girl in the rankings. 】

[Does this pair have a line in the middle? 】

[Why do you need the line? Compete with the ice girl? 】

【come on! Unanimous to the outside world! 】
