Chapter 185 Faker & Boyo

00: 01.

The countdown is over.

On May 2023, 5, the knockout round between WBG and T20 officially began.

"Hello, welcome to the 2023 League of Legends Mid-Season Championship. Today is the final showdown of the knockout rounds. Whoever wins will get the first ticket to the finals. Hello everyone, I am Miller."

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Umbrella."

"Hello everyone, I'm Rita."

At least Chinese and Korean players will no longer question Weibo's strength and recognize its ability to be the number one team.

I don’t know why T1 is so difficult to crack. In short, every time it comes to a competition that lasts long enough, T1 can always show its flexible adjustment ability and quickly modify its understanding of tactics and ideas about the version. , thus immediately transforming into another team with a completely different style in the next game.

"Every year they say that the domestically produced mid laner is a genius, but in the end they can't even touch Faker's hair. Genius is just the threshold for me to become the Flying Emperor."

"Please invite the next talented mid laner."

Fortunately, not meeting GEN in the quarterfinals may be the luckiest thing about T1.

"If you want to ask me why I think he is not good before the game has started, I can only tell you. Even if Faker loses, he will definitely not be able to defeat LPL players."

Jiang Huai didn't do anything wrong. As a result, he was besieged by many fans because he was at the forefront of traffic.

Come to the LPL live broadcast room and brush your feathers.

"The LPL blows a player every year. Last year it was left-handed. Who is it this year?"

The first is of course the LPL side. If we can really pick someone who can compete with the only true god faker in the lck side, then the LPL audience will 100% vote for boyo.

While saying that the viewing atmosphere in LCK is better than that in LPL, he also came to LPL to poop, right?
Before krd was finished, the LPL's counterattack had already begun.

Therefore, even after such a long time, they still feel that the LPL teams will always be soft-footed shrimps and will always fall into the hands of the faker.

Otherwise, why would Han Za be said to be disgusting?
Obviously you are watching the game in the LPL, but you must watch the content of the LCK, emphasizing that the LPL can never beat the LCK.

The inability to figure out T1's playing style is the most important reason why LPL teams lose to T1.

The first is naturally Weibo.

Therefore, when the commentator focused his talk on the Weibo team and gave him considerable expectations, many T1 fans had already started to get angry.

If you really like T1, why not go to Africa Channel to watch T1’s live broadcast?

"What do you mean by that? The highest mountain and the longest river in LPL will never be defeated by Lee Sang Hyuk."

In contrast, the T1 team does not need much introduction at all.

In their eyes, defeating anyone does not count. Only by truly defeating faker head-on can one be considered truly capable.

"The only one who can beat Faker is the Korean mid laner. Boyo is really not good at that."

After the commentators introduced themselves one after another, they then began to comment on the current results of both teams.

"It's really cool to be able to beat faker, okay."

But today, after defeating the LCK's No. 1 seed, Weibo's reputation as a strong team has truly expanded around the world.

After all, in all the years of LPL, domestic teams in the S competition have never defeated T1 even once in a BO5.

So far, I have finally met the Weibo team, and T1 fans also think it is a relatively good signing.

After defeating GEN, Weibo's reputation overseas has become completely louder.

Even if Jiang Huai's strength this year is enough to prove that he has the qualifications to win the championship, T1 fans still feel that the LPL is still just as embarrassing as before, just for god-making marketing.

But this sentiment is precisely what T1 fans are most resistant to.

It is true that after defeating the GEN team, many viewers can clearly realize that Weibo's current combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, but T1 fans do not think so.

Not to mention its past honors, as far as its recent record is concerned, at least no one can be their opponent.

First of all, T1 fans are discriminatory towards LPL teams.

After all, they have the advantage in numbers, and it is difficult for krd to resist.

It's fine if you ignore him, he'll be happy if you pay attention to him.

"Here we go again, another classic step-on-one-off-one."

It’s up to T1 fans to talk about it, but in fact, most LPL fans still don’t dare to say anything.

Although after winning the championship last year, Weibo's name was already in the hearts of foreigners, which somewhat surprised them.

He rushed over with trembling words like "LPL kneel down".

The stringing started even before the beating started.

I think back then, veteran LPL teams like RNG and EDG were never opponents in the hands of T1, which left such a deep impression on them.

They just like faker, and the way they express their love for faker is to slander all the domestic newcomers that the LPL is pursuing.

Weibo has been studying T1 for a long time, and it is still difficult to determine whether T1 will still use a fixed set of game ideas and tactics like they showed in the spring playoffs.

Even before the game started, Danny was still worried that T1 would suddenly change their style and completely disrupt their previous tactical layout and planning.

Compared with the nervousness before playing GEN, this time Danny can be said to have an anxiety disorder.

Here in London, England, the British people's food is not to their taste.

Danny has been eating in Chinese restaurants with the team in the past few days, and it is difficult to eat food that suits his Korean taste.

Although the taste of Chinese restaurants in London, England is almost the same as that in mainland China, it is even better.

But after all, there is really no good food in Britain. There are so many foreigners coming and going, and because they are unfamiliar with it, they can't find a suitable restaurant.

I'm not used to the local environment, and I still have jet lag when I return to the place where I rested. It's easy to get worse with a lot of training.

I don’t know what’s going on at T1, but Danny on Weibo is extremely worried.

Now, he has finally adjusted his team's state to its best. He really doesn't want to be knocked back to his original shape by T1 in the first game.

When he was in the LCK before, although the dwg he coached also successfully defeated T, he tried his best at that time, and because the version was relatively consistent, the win was somewhat of a fluke. Otherwise, showmaker would not have made such an arrogant face in front of the camera after winning T21 in the 4 semi-finals.

Because he really felt that T1's strength was the best in the world, and if they defeated the world's number one, they could become the world's number one, but he didn't expect that EDG would be even more outrageous.

Having little confidence is not the best situation for a coach.

He didn't want to bring this emotion to the players, so Danny tried his best to act calmly in front of the players.

When he thought about it, the players under him would be somewhat nervous when they knew they were going to play T1.
But he didn't expect that these five heartless guys would seem happier than before after hearing about playing T1.

As if he felt that he was about to face a very important challenge, King Ning could be said to be quite excited. He didn't know what he was expecting. In short, he kept talking about destroying the jungle area of ​​oner, and he also Before the game, a flag was set up and a message was posted indicating that oner was designated to have no good results in the jungle.

Tens of thousands of people liked that post. The LPL audience was very happy to see that their team still had such a good attitude even in London, England.

“Come on Weibo!”

"King Ning does what he says, Uzumaki Ningren really doesn't joke around. Doing what he says is Ningren's way of ninja."

"Oner is a muscular guy with no brains. As long as Faker is killed by Boyo alone, everything will be easy to deal with later."

"I don't think we should be so nervous about Weibo's strength. T1 is pretty good this year."

All kinds of speculations spread from the Internet to various places.

Major anchors also made predictions about today's game on Weibo.

His attitude has always been to tell the truth. Although he is personally emotionally attached to the LPL, his predictions, or to his audience, are not just random bragging.

"Given Weibo's current status, it's really not a problem. The team we need to worry about is T1, not Weibo."

"Although I have always said that Weibo is very strong, we still can't take it lightly when playing T1." let me said, "I laughed as I said it. Don't look down on T1. To be honest, this team is no matter whether it is in its own league or not. No matter how many times he loses, he will definitely have the ability to defeat the LPL team.”

"Who is the anchor optimistic about? The anchor must be optimistic about Weibo. Do you want me to support T1? No way."

Uzi said after taking a sip of water.

Although he knew that Kuroko was joking with him, he still wanted to make his position clear.

What does it mean for an LPL professional player to retire and become a streamer to support the LCK?
It certainly can’t support it at all.

And if we really support T1 openly, then the live broadcast room will probably be flooded by all kinds of fans, and LPL will also send messages to ask.

Among all the anchors, there is only one person who can support any team casually, and he is doinb.

In today's game, he specially invited BeryL as a guest.

Although it is said that the LPL is playing LCK and it seems a bit embarrassing to invite an LCK player to come as a guest, doinb, a guy who is good at generating traffic, wants this kind of embarrassment.

To be honest, his sense of program effects is much stronger than that of any other player anchor.

He knows that LPL viewers like to watch, and he also knows how he should broadcast live.

Anyway, as soon as Genshin Brother arrived, the audience in his live broadcast room immediately exploded, and many people even came to watch him explain the second lane.

And the most hilarious thing is that before the game started, he specifically asked Genshinori which team he supported.

He knew that Genshin Impact and being an LCK player would of course not be able to support the LPL, so he was able to tactfully put all his firepower on this good guest he invited.

As a result, he was stunned and didn't expect that Brother Genshin's personality was so free and unrestrained.

He didn't care about LCK or LPL at all. He told the truth directly, saying that Weibo's strength was higher than T1's and today's game was more difficult than T1's.

Such a sentence surprised doinb. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only nod in agreement.

But here, the audience can see at a glance what the big anchor is doing.

I wanted to dig a hole for Genshin Impact, but I didn’t expect that Genshin Impact’s sincerity is his surefire skill.

I didn’t tell you any nonsense, I just expressed my feelings directly, and you won’t be able to fix it immediately.

"My, my, I shouldn't have asked."

After discovering that the trend of public opinion in the barrage was not quite right, doinb immediately stepped forward to make adjustments and proactively admitted his mistakes.

By this time, the game was almost about to begin.

In the pre-recording session before the game, there was some interaction between the players on both sides.

In fact, backstage at the MSI game in London, England, the lounges on both sides are not too far apart. Sometimes the sound is even slightly louder, and the opponent can hear the opponent's tactical layout and planning.

After discussing tactics and training, Jiang Huai didn't like lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, so he went out for a walk to see what was going on outside and how many people were sitting in the audience.

As a result, I didn't take more than two steps before I met faker who wanted to go to the toilet.

The two people met directly in the corridor.

Because Faker knew Boyo and noticed the Weibo team uniform he was wearing, he nodded from a distance and planned to be polite and then walked sideways to the toilet.

Jiang Huai happened to think so too.

It is estimated that only the two of them know how embarrassing it is for two introverted people who are rivals and don't speak the same language to get together in an inappropriate place.

The result was so unfathomable, I don’t know how the ring designer from MSI in London got this job.

Suddenly, several European and American spectators went to the wrong place and happened to meet Faker and Boyo.

In the spirit of never making mistakes, they made mistakes and caught the two people together for a photo.

For a moment, both of their heads were a bit big. I didn’t know what the composition of this group of fans was. Anyway, they stood together with them, one on the left and one on the right, to form the first photo of Faker and Boyo in history, and they were praised by these foreigners. I happily posted it online.

And just such a photo, posted before the game, caused a huge response.

Audiences in Europe and the United States actually don’t have a very separate concept of the LCK and LPL teams.

Although they know that these two teams come from two divisions, they will classify these two types of people as East Asians.

Just like how we treat foreigners, the British, the French, and the Germans, they have no concept of distinction between the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese.

You may have some ideas after careful communication, but they will still be confused subconsciously.

After all, they have never actually been to China, South Korea and Japan, and they have very little news from the other side of the world.

The two bosses met before the game even started.

Such a small photo became popular immediately after it was circulated.

The expressions of the two people in the photo are quite intriguing.
