LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 637 After three years! DWG advances to the finals! A resurgence!

In the background, the voices of LPL commentators could be heard:

"FPX, DWG, TL, and the defending champion EDG..."

Amidst the melodious background music.

Images of Doinb, Niu Guli, Clid, Flandre, and others appeared one by one.

next second.

Suddenly, the stirring drumbeats resounded!

The background music reached its climax, with an ethereal female voice accompanied by cello music, which enlivened the atmosphere of the entire venue!
One memorable moment after another began to emerge!
The LPL commentators' passionate voices erupted:

"Wow! ShowMaker! This should have been a certain death, but he pulled off a miracle!"

"Emperor Ruler has secured another kill!"

"Clid! That was a brilliant dragon steal!"

"Bin! And SN!!"

At this point, the background music (BGM) entered a period of inactivity.

On the big screen, the camera began to rotate, passing over landmark buildings and heading to the other side of the city.

Finally, the camera slowly pans down.

The background music started up again, breaking the silence!
The camera shot from below, showing the back of a person in a black team uniform standing in the dim light.

Behind him, the white 'Kshine' ID was particularly eye-catching!
The wind whistled.

A sense of impending final boss looms over me!

"Scout! That was a brilliant Orianna ultimate!!"

"Ornn! HolyGun's Ornn! He uses his ultimate, Rammus, to charge into the backline!"

The picture rotates.

The background music also came to an end.

The camera finally locked on.

Wang Yao stood beneath the enormous Summoner's Cup, bathed in dim red light, and slowly raised his head, gazing intently at the camera.

At this moment, the atmosphere was brought to its peak!
The entire chat was exploding with comments!
Countless 'demon kings' drifted by!
"Wow! Yao-ge is so handsome!!!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, the real Demon King!"

"Look directly at me, bastard!"

"Who do you think you're facing? (Leans back tactically)"

"The true face of League of Legends!"

"..."

It has to be said that this promotional video has almost reached the pinnacle of the League's promotional videos in terms of camera work and lighting!

Especially the last scene.

The dim environment, the red lights, and Wang Yao's eyes combined to create a classic 'villainous BOSS' picture!

And then there's this perfectly fitting background music.

The short promotional video, lasting only a few minutes, elevated the atmosphere of the entire event and even the online live stream to an unprecedented level!
Just look at the audience members who were still in shock for a long time.

The lights in the venue have already been restored.

But many people were still immersed in the scene they had just witnessed.

It wasn't until the host came on stage and spoke that everyone finally snapped out of their daze.

"This is the final trial before the finals. Four of the world's top teams are vying for only two spots..."

The host, with a solemn expression, raised his voice: "Winners are greeted with cheers, losers are sent off in dejection! Only those who stand to the end can reap all the glory!"

"Come on, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the four teams to the stage!!"

In an instant, thunderous applause resounded!

Countless excited shouts erupted!

"Oh oh oh oh!!!!"

Amidst rising white smoke, the four teams made their entrance from both sides of the stage!
The host's voice still echoed in the air above the venue.

LCK's number one seed, LPL's number three seed, and LPL's number one and number four seeds!
Four teams representing the highest level of competition in the league have gathered on one stage!
……

On the LPL official commentary booth.

"This is the scene at Pudong Football Stadium. The first match of the 2020 League of Legends World Championship semifinals is about to begin! It's LCK's number one seed DWG against LPL's number three seed SN!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Miller, the commentator for this match."

"I'm a doll."

"I'm guest PDD."

After the three official commentators finished reading their opening remarks, they immediately launched into a long monologue.

"cough……"

Miller cleared his throat and jokingly said, "No question about this match, we're definitely supporting SN, right?"

"That's for sure."

"Yep."

"Alright! Both players have now entered the arena! Let's turn our attention back to the big screen!"

While the three commentators were speaking, the players from both SN and DWG teams entered the arena and began setting up their equipment.

The big screen also showed images of the players' seats.

The players and coaches on both sides were constantly exchanging ideas and making final tactical arrangements before the match.

It's worth mentioning that, perhaps due to the team atmosphere, DWG actually seemed more relaxed than SN!

In short, very soon.

With the equipment debugged, the two sides finally began the business process.

As the game begins.

Both sides executed their own tactics and strategies, resulting in a back-and-forth battle.

Throughout the entire process, the economic gap between the two sides never exceeded 2!

However, as the match went on, DWG's overall teamwork began to show.

The series of resource-intensive team fights completely disrupted SN's rhythm!
Finally, at 33 minutes, Nuguri's classic Kennen teleported behind the enemy lines to initiate a team fight, and Ghost's Xayah finished off the remaining enemies, wiping out SN!

A match is over.

The number of comments on the entire public screen has at least doubled!
LPL viewers were all starting to feel a sense of unease.

But, in the second game...

SN showed off Bin's signature Gangplank, and the mid and jungle players even picked a combination of Orianna and Rengar.

The battle lasted 36 minutes.

Sofm's Rengar repeatedly dictated the pace of the game, creating an advantage in all three lanes and ultimately securing a crushing victory in the team fight!
SN pulled back a point with a large margin!
The score is now 1-1.

At this point, everyone's excitement returned.

Wait until the third game.

DWG has brought out Kennen again!
As a result, after a grueling 41-minute battle, Nuguri's Kennen fought his way to a 6-2 lead, showcasing his signature flanking maneuvers and team fight initiations on multiple occasions!
The score is now 2-1.

"Congratulations to DWG for taking another point! They now have two match points! Every game from now on will be a do-or-die situation for SN!!"

At this point.

The audience's emotions finally became uncontrollable.

"Is it coming? Is it really coming?!"

"Hiss... The big one is coming..."

"Just one more win, please, SN, just one more win! I want to hear the battle anthem!"

"DWG, hold on! Hold on!! 2-1, this time you really have a chance!!"

"We have to win!!"

Under the close watch of countless spectators.

The fourth match has begun.

DWG's draft this time was incredibly solid: top lane Gangplank, mid lane Galio, jungle Lee Sin, and bot lane Xayah and Thresh.

It's fair to say that they've revealed almost all of the five players' signature heroes!
Correspondingly, SN also revealed their final trump card.

Top lane Fiora! Mid lane LeBlanc! Jungle Wukong!

On the field, the players on both sides were extremely focused, and even the coaches had solemn expressions.

A life-or-death battle has begun!
"This match is crucial! Can SN withstand DWG's offensive?"

"To be honest, I actually favor DWG in this draft, and even in the four games so far, I think Coach Daeny has the edge."

"Yes, and to be honest, SN's lineup is a bit unconventional."

In the LPL commentary booth, the three official commentators were talking one after another.

soon.

As the loading screen finished, the match footage began to appear on the big screen.

Just then, the doll coughed slightly, looking a little embarrassed, and launched into a rapid-fire explanation of the business process:
"Ahem! Well, before the match begins, I also want to tell everyone that the SPD Bank Peak Heroes S-Series Customized Credit Card comes with a super stylish S10 World Championship customized suitcase as a gift when you open an account..."

For a moment, question marks filled the entire public screen.

"At such an exciting time, you're still advertising for me?!"

"I can't hold it in anymore! Just how many ads has Tencent Video accepted?!"

"If you don't understand, just ask: if I get this credit card, will SN win this game? (doge)"

"I don't know if DWG can win, but Tencent is definitely going to win big."

"..."

They've really won too much.

It's important to know that since S7, the potential and influence of the esports industry have attracted increasing attention from investors.

Some investors chose to enter the market directly, such as JDG and SN.

More often than not, the simplest and most direct approach was chosen – sponsorship!
As a result, the league events over the past two years have been flooded with advertisements!
Of course, more sponsors also mean a more prosperous LPL league.

Let's return our focus to the match itself.

On the field, the actions of both sides have already begun.

"Both sides opted to swap jungle camps, but DWG was very meticulous; ShowMaker left a defensive ward at the blue buff location."

"This way, Sofm's whereabouts are exposed the whole time, making it easier for Nuguri in the top lane to play."

"Oops! Bottom lane! Hooked on Nautilus! That's a bit awkward! Nautilus was forced to use Flash at level 1, and he can only recall to base to recover his health and mana."

"Here, Canyon takes the river crab, and BeryL arrives just in time. Sofm has no choice but to retreat. Tsk tsk, it's starting, it's starting. This is DWG's jungler-support duo."

"In that case, Canyon can get another river crab. A double river crab start, this pace is so comfortable."

"..." This can be seen from each sentence of the explanation.

In this match, DWG's decision-making and execution capabilities almost completely overwhelmed SN!
If in the early stages it was simply a matter of jungler and support being paired together.

Once ShowMaker's Galio reaches level six and has his ultimate ability, DWG's classic mid-jungle-support synergy will begin!
More than seven minutes.

Galio mindlessly flies down!
They teamed up with Lee Sin for a four-man gank on the second tower, but instead of getting any kills, they just pushed the tower!
So, at 7 minutes and 40 seconds, SN's entire first tower lost all five plating layers, and DWG took the first tower!

They then switched lanes, forcing Angel to go to the bottom lane to farm, which greatly limited Angel's ability to control the pace of the game.

Within ten minutes, inexplicably, DWG had already taken over the top half of the map.

The vanguard took the lead without any doubt.

Immediately afterwards, the jungler ganked top, released the Rift Herald, pushed the tower, and took the turret plating all in one smooth motion!
"Wow... DWG's rhythm is just too comfortable!"

"This is simply taking the coordinated roaming tactic to its extreme. I don't even need to kill you; as long as I come, I'll at least take down one of your towers!"

12 minutes.

The kill ratio is still 0:0, but the economic gap between the two sides has widened to nearly 3,000!

DWG even has two dragons in their hands!
Furthermore, DWG's pace became increasingly tight, giving SN no chance to breathe, and their decisions kept eroding the opponent's living space!
26 minutes.

The two sides didn't even manage a single 5v5 head-on team fight.

However, DWG managed to break through SN's high ground by constantly picking off enemies and maneuvering around resources!
29 minutes.

A major dragon pull.

DWG didn't give SN any chance to hesitate and decisively started the dragon!
"SN has realized it, but it might be a little too late!"

"DWG's objective is very clear: target Sofm! Sofm's Stopwatch was forced out, and DWG immediately secured Baron! Wow! Lee Sin kicked in! This team fight is initiating!!"

"Sofm is dead! Angel is down too! DWG got a 3-for-0! Hey! Looks like we can end this in one fell swoop!!"

In the commentary booth, the voices of the three official commentators trembled with surprise.

The LCK commentators on the side were also shouting wildly!
"DWG! They're about to end this game!! The remaining two SN players can't stop their advance!"

Off the court.

Countless viewers were already excited, and many LCK fans had stood up, waving their support signs with excited expressions.

After three years, an LCK team has finally made it to the World Championship! They no longer have to watch LPL teams clash in internal battles!
And on the field.

SN players' bench.

Angel's gaze was fixed on the black-and-white screen, his face expressionless, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his feelings.

His teammates next to him were all pale-faced and sweating profusely.

A single team fight lasting 30 minutes is enough for one side to easily destroy the other's base!
"Take down the tower! Take down the tower! Take down the tower and you win!!"

"Ignore EZ! Go straight for the base!!"

Amidst the cheers of the LCK commentators and the clicks of the five DWG players.

SN's main crystal has finally exploded!

"In that case, let's congratulate DWG on finally making it to the finals after three years!"

In an instant, from online to offline, almost all LCK viewers were plunged into a sea of ​​revelry!

Meanwhile, the number of comments in the LPL's official live stream was unprecedentedly high!
The dense barrage of comments like "Sending off guests," "Trash SN," and "LPL disgrace" caused the entire live stream to lag!

On-site, in the players' seats.

The five members of DWG were so excited that they jumped up and hugged each other tightly, with some even tearing up!

The last hurdle that blocked their way has already been crossed.

Congratulations to DWG!

On the LPL commentary desk, Miller's voice rose almost two octaves: "They defeated SN! 3-1! They've secured the first ticket to the finals!"

"This team, which started as an internet cafe team and has gradually become a world championship powerhouse, has finally proven its strength at this year's S10."

said with no exaggeration.

DWG's victory this time will boost their popularity and buzz by at least tenfold!

As an unsponsored internet cafe team, they relied on five exceptionally talented players to gradually reach where they are today, and only this year did they complete the final roster reorganization.

After their defeat at S9 last year, they made a comeback and finally defeated SN to reach the finals, defending the last vestige of LCK's prestige.

However, most LPL viewers were able to accept the result after their initial anger subsided, given how incredibly strong the LCK was this year.

It's not surprising that SN lost to DWG.

You can tell this just by looking at the comments on the official live stream chat.

"Honestly, DWG really deserves to be in the finals, so congratulations to them. As for SN this year, all we can say is that they did their best."

"It's a pity that the guests were messing around in the back."

"Whoever tells me DWG is a lucky team again? Huh?!"

"..."

World Championship BO5, defeating SN!

Such a record is truly spectacular!
Without a doubt, they are a truly strong team, without a doubt!
Meanwhile, backstage...

Inside the EDG lounge.

The EDG members, who were watching this scene, also expressed their emotions.

"DWG is awesome."

"Let's go, brothers. Let's focus on preparing for our own match tomorrow. It would be embarrassing if we messed up."

"OK, let's go."

"..."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

domestic.

As hashtags like #DWGDefeatsSN# and #DWGAdvancesToFinals# trended on the list.

A new topic has been raised.

Yes—the final!
Or rather, besides DWG, who is the other team in the finals?
The comments section below the trending topic was flooded with messages.

"LCK has made a comeback!"

"Guys, is the big one really coming?" (startled)

"Damn, EDG absolutely has to win tomorrow, otherwise JDG will really be handing the game to DWG!"

"E-commerce brothers, let's stop here and help Yao Ge achieve a four-peat and become a four-time champion."

"DWG's momentum is so strong, it feels like they're going to kill a god. I hope something bad is going to happen!"

"..."

corresponding.

On various platforms, related topics and posts have already started to flood the screen.

A rational analysis: What are EDG's chances of winning against JDG?

An internal battle between LPL's first and fourth seeds!

"..."

It's not just the LPL side.

The neighboring LCK.

The discussion was equally heated!
On YouTube, various YouTubers posted videos, expressing their support with passionate words.

In short, time passed amidst such heated discussions.

The next day.

It's still at the Pudong Football Stadium in Shanghai.

Compared to yesterday's event, the number of audience members who came to the venue today has clearly increased by a significant amount!
Even though many people may not have been able to buy tickets, they still chose to come to the venue to show their support!
As noon approached...

Both teams have arrived at the scene and are ready.

Half past one in the afternoon.

The venue opened ahead of schedule, and all live streaming channels were connected!
In an instant, an astonishing amount of traffic poured into various live streaming rooms!
It's worth noting that yesterday's match set a new record for viewership since the start of S10.

Today, even before the competition started, a new record had already been set!

Many staff members at Riot Games headquarters exclaimed that it was "crazy".

It was almost 2 p.m. when we got to the time.

"Om-"

A microphone buzzing sound came from deep within the venue.

In an instant, the entire audience realized what was happening and gradually fell silent.

The stadium lights went out.

On the big screen, images lit up.

Of course, compared to yesterday's opening ceremony promotional video, this time it was just pre-match interviews between the two teams.

First up is JDG's toothpaste.

When asked by an official reporter, he first shrugged, then said with a smirk, "Even if our opponent is EDG, we will definitely win this time, that's for sure."

Scout then appeared on camera, scratching his head and smiling shyly, "JDG is an old rival. Whether you believe us or not, we've never lost to them..."

The camera turned.

Clid's eyes were confident: "Under normal circumstances, I don't think Jiejie can keep up with my pace."

Jiejie chuckled: "Hopefully the other side can recall more of the LPL's Spring and Summer Splits."

The screen turns again.

LokeN and Green Hair stood together, their arms crossed over their chests.

"We have grown so much in this period of time. Believe in us, when we face EDG again, we will surprise them. Yes, we are now incredibly strong!"

Across from them, Ah Shui and Meiko sat properly on round stools.

"I think we should be able to win if we play normally. Um, is that too arrogant?"

the other side.

JDG's top laner Zoom remained calm, saying, "As long as I play seriously and farm well in the top lane, my teammates will bring us the chance to win."

On the other side, Flandre grinned and said, "Let's farm together then!"

Seeing this, many viewers couldn't hold back anymore.

"Holy Gun Bro can't wait to get started!"

"Keep your word, Duke. Don't bully my old gun."

"As everyone knows, EDG is a team that loves peace and is not good at fighting!"

"..."
