Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 431: The People in the Competition Area

When the game was going on for 2 minutes and G still hadn't gained a decisive advantage over Excellent Era, the audience finally began to realize that something was wrong.

Of course, to be specific, it is not entirely true that we have not gained any advantage at all.

After a summer of training, Perkz's combat power has increased again, and he is still able to exert great pressure on Jia Shi's relatively weak bottom lane.

Although Mickey occasionally has seizures, they are obviously not as extreme as when he is high, and basic stability can still be guaranteed.

However, the slight advantage gained in the bottom lane was offset by the disadvantages of the top and jungle.

"No, are the brothers in China so strong now? This guy is only seventeen years old?" Bai Shu's forehead was covered with sweat.

As an international student in China, he insisted on playing on the Chinese server when lol was first launched.

However, as their strength improves, they become more and more sensitive to delays, and the impact of the dozens of extra frames of delay in the Chinese server compared to the European server is becoming more and more obvious.

So Bai Shu began to move to the European server, and quickly became famous in the European server with the skills he developed in the Chinese server. He was eventually valued by G2 and replaced Wunder who left for LCS.

After that, he rarely played games on the Chinese server again.

This time when he returned to China, Bai Shu showed the level of success that a top student should have in getting an opportunity to study abroad in East Asia.

But the time available for him to open the book was far from enough.

It’s not that Bai Shu is not diligent, it’s just that he hasn’t been back to China for several years. He can’t not go home to visit, right?
G2, who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem at that time, was very humane and granted him a period of vacation, allowing him to go home first and not worry about training.

The club is so understanding, and Bai Shu is not an ungrateful person, so naturally he has no reason to refuse.

So Bai Shu went back and stayed for two or three days, catching up with his parents, and then returned to training.

Moreover, during training, the opponents they arranged for the training matches were all old acquaintances from the LEC.

Although the socialite Jankos also suggested finding a team from another region to practice with, the training group discussed it for a long time and decided to be a little more cautious.

As a result, G2, which had a relatively short training period and whose training match level was not that top-notch, faced Excellent Era, which had been trained by all the strong teams in the entire LPL for half a month.

Especially in the top lane, Bai Shu, whose condition has not yet fully recovered, is facing Abin, who is ready to fight, as his eyes are glowing red after being trained by the super top laners.

The result is naturally a little bleak.

In order to relieve the pressure on the bottom lane, xun went to the bottom lane more often to ambush and counter-ambush, which prevented Jia Shi's bottom lane from being directly penetrated by perkz.

In contrast, Abin did not receive too many resources from the jungler.

But Bai Shu's Rambo was still killed by Abin's Irelia and the score was reduced to 0-3-1. The only assist came when Jankos came to help catch him.

The shocking degree of this scene can be described as scary.

You know, during the entire LEC Summer Season, no matter whether the game was won or lost, or how quickly it ended, Bai Shu had never been suppressed by anyone as badly as Abin.

In the entire LEC, the best result for the strongest top laner other than him when facing him is just a slight pressure.

In LEC, Bai Shu has a nickname, called the Insurmountable Wall, which is derived from the Great Wall of China, used to praise Bai Shu's stability and ability to withstand pressure.

However, today, Bin asked the question for everyone with his performance:
No, man, does League of Legends have a hero called Wall?
Outside the stadium, the LEC audience felt like their hearts were about to stop after suffering three consecutive heavy blows in just one day.

No, G2 won’t really lose to Excellent Era, right?
It's barely acceptable for the No. 2 to lose to the No. , or the No. to lose to the No. , but if G really loses to the No. seed of LPL as the No. seed of LEC...

That would be a disaster for European e-sports.

On the other hand, the LCS fans who were originally worried were happy.

The LEC and LCS audiences have always been at loggerheads, especially when the LEC sent a heavyweight to the LCS.
What they love to see most is LEC getting humiliated.

Now that LCS is about to suffer a three-game losing streak, people immediately rushed to the scene from afar to laugh at it.

Especially the last one.

Don’t think that the North American money-makers always get angry and glare at Excellent Era when they mention it, as if they wish to expel them from the LCS immediately.

But only when they beat LEC will the North American guys remember that this is their second seed.

It is known that LCS No. 9 seed C9 defeated Excellent Era, so C>Excellent Era.

It is also known that LEC's No. 2 seed G2 is in danger in front of Excellent Era and may be about to lose, so G<=Excellent Era.

So NA>EU, no problem.

"Let's go, Galaxy!" For the first time, LCS viewers cheered for Excellent Era, a team they once feared like a tiger, from the bottom of their hearts.

What’s quite embarrassing is that most fans can’t read the Chinese team name of Jia Shi.

The official English abbreviation of Excellent Era, E2, sounds similar to their rival G2.

Therefore, the LCS audience could only bite the bullet and shout the name “Excellent Era”.

And because the pronunciation is not standard, it always sounds like people are shouting "Galaxy".

If Excellent Era successfully advances to the quarterfinals, they will face SSG.

"SANSUNG!" "Galaxy!"......

Why does it look like an advertisement for Samsung phones?
But no one knew if their shouting disturbed Jia Shi's morale. After LCS fans joined in cheering for Jia Shi, the situation actually began to improve little by little in the direction of G2.

The main thing is that CAPS in the middle finally started to exert his strength.

The value of LEC's No. 1 mid laner is unquestionable. The seventeen-year-old Qiu Feiguang may be as talented as CAPS, but he is far behind in experience.

In addition, the younger Jia Shi is still a little more impatient than G2. Even after special training, some minor problems have not been completely corrected.

In the 27th minute, CAPS finally caught the opportunity when Abin's Irelia was too deep in the enemy's territory, and he led two people to protect one and catch her.

Then, they immediately used their numerical advantage to rush to the Baron and forced a team fight, resulting in a two-for-four team fight and taking down the Baron.

The advantage that Perkz had gained in the early stage was realized at this moment, and Jinx, who was slightly ahead in development, became a powerful weapon for the frontal team.

The G2 double C, who had shined in the MSI arena and withstood the fierce bombardment of the Mapo double C to enter the finals, once again demonstrated their value at this moment.

After this wave, although Jia Shi still had room to resist, and indeed dragged the situation all the way to nearly forty minutes before the outcome was decided.

But G2 did not give up the chance to win that they had worked so hard to gain.

In the fifth game of the first day, G2 defeated Excellent Era, giving LEC their first win of the day and avoiding the fate of being shut out.

But even so, the total score of 1-2 and the not-so-good-looking game process still made countless EU fans who were waiting in front of the live broadcast or simply traveled thousands of miles to China to watch the game feel uneasy.

There is definitely a problem, there is no need to say more.

But when LEC viewers looked back at their summer season, they couldn't tell what went wrong with these qualified teams.

I feel like they played pretty well in the summer, huh?

Why did it suddenly fail on the world competition stage?

Only those fans who watch LEC and pay attention to other regions can vaguely perceive the truth:
It's not that LEC has become weaker, but that LPL and LCK are crazy competitive. LPL is not to mention, the championship zone is already extremely competitive, since the summer season, it can be said that every team has undergone a certain degree of transformation, coupled with their already world-leading foundation, they are naturally unstoppable.

As for the LCK, it has undergone a complete transformation this summer, from top to bottom, and has regained some of the glory it had when e-sports was first established.

If it weren't for the fact that their foundation is still a bit far behind the level of LPL, which even has the vague support of gaming companies, they would probably have achieved the same dominance as StarCraft next door.

The LEC is moving forward, but it's clear that the crazies in East Asia are moving faster, more determined, and harder.

In comparison, it seems like LEC has regressed.

It's really sad.

However, Europeans have always been optimistic, and they quickly found ways to relieve their frustration.

There seems to be another division next door that’s even worse off than us?

Well, LCS, the first day record was 0-2, a complete loss.

The narrow defeat of Jia Shi and G2 after a bloody battle has become the highlight of the current LCS. At least they once forced G2 into a desperate situation, showing their dark horse style.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

But on the other hand, the LCS No. 9 seed C’s defeat was not so dignified.

The reason is very simple, they met their old rival in the opening game.

Well, to be precise, they are one-sided old rivals. They treat each other as old rivals, and the other side treats them as a fool.

blooming.

Fanhua had not studied LCS very seriously. In Zhang Jiale's words, even Jia Shi before the special training had a hard time beating the team.

And that’s actually what happened.

The current core of C9 is IMPACT in the top lane and Doublelift in the bottom lane. One is the most stable core in North America, and the other is the stable pressure-resistant king in the top lane.

But the problem is that they are facing Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping.

Yes, that’s right, Sun Zheping.

Because of Tang Rou's performance in the summer season, and the fact that the world game version made a slight adjustment to the offensive top laner's stats,

So Sun Zheping, who hadn't played top lane for the entire summer season, spent some time to get his feel back.

Although according to Fanhua's internal tactics, Sun Zheping will still be in a supporting position most of the time, but it is still very necessary to use him occasionally as a strategic deterrent.

And C9, unfortunately, became the first target of deterrence.

It is already very difficult for IMPACT to handle Abin, let alone Sun Zheping who is a level stronger than Abin.

Moreover, in this scene, Fanhua also had the idea of ​​"helping the younger brother get back his face".

After all, TL has gone home, and you are the only one left, brother.

Let your brother love you well!

So, it was another one-sided crushing game that lasted less than thirty minutes. The North American No. 1 seed was beaten like a top by the Chinese No. 3 seed. The scene was simply tragic.

For LCS viewers, today is probably a day worth despairing.

Because their last hope is almost dead.

The moment TL was eliminated in the top 24, LCS inevitably fell into self-doubt:
Being kicked out of the finals by the Japanese and Taiwanese people, could it be...

We are really bad, right?
And now, there is an answer: Yes, you are just terrible.

After losing to Fanhua, there is still SKT in the group, a strong team that also reached the top four in the spring season. Given their current form, it is hard to say whether they can win, as their double C is also very strong.

C9's prospects for advancement don't seem so clear...

In desperation, LCS viewers took a look at their own lineup and discovered with both laughter and tears that there seemed to be only one Excellent Era. Currently, they are still maintaining a good momentum. Although they lost the first game, the defeat was not bad, and the future is promising.

So, should we support Excellent Era? The last hope of LCS?

The LCS audience is still confused, but Excellent Era is not confused at all.

As they bowed and left with some regret, they were greeted with thunderous applause and cheers.

The LPL audience has never regarded Jia Shi as an outsider. In fact, due to their age, they pay special attention to these young people.

Especially the fans of Xingxin, they looked at Jia Shi with eyes that were almost tearing out.

This is the future of our little Xingxin...

The average age is seventeen, so what’s wrong with losing to the number one seed?
The loss is not ugly!

Of course, the fact that they were able to accept the fact that Jia Shi was defeated in such a good attitude was mainly due to the successful start on the first day of LPL.

Participated in three battles in total and won all three.

Blue Rain defeated FNC, and Fanhua defeated C9. In the dialogue between the four major regions, both won beautifully. After five months, it once again proved that LPL is at the leading level among the four major regions.

It is worth mentioning that the game was won by Xingxin.

The opponent is DFM, so there is no need to elaborate.

But what’s interesting is that DFM is very clear about his position, so from interviews to trash talk to attitude during games, how can we describe what he shows?

To borrow the line from the Shining Assault Locust's transformation in a certain Neon special effects video:
There is no hope of survival, a fatal blow!
God knows when EVI said in the trash talk before the game, with a firm look in his eyes,
"Although I know that there is a huge gap between us and the LPL's mid-lane emperor and top-lane witch, we will still rush towards the heart of the battleship with the heart of a beast!"

How did Xingxin hold back his laughter when hearing such childish words?

But considering that DFM really showed an attitude of leaving no regrets and their image in this world competition was very positive, Xingxin still held back a little.

Moreover, when pushing the crystal at the end, he was very graceful and pretended that the Yuequan kill failed, giving DFM a few heads, so that the score did not reach a very ugly number.

It can be said that enough face was given.

All in all, DFM had a great time, Xingxin was relaxed, and victory was achieved. Everyone has a bright future.

However, all participating teams have not forgotten one crucial thing:

They have not yet had a head-on confrontation with LCK teams.

LCK only had two games today, KT's big win over OG and SSG's easy win over GAM.

It was also an easy win.

It remains to be seen which division is stronger between the two regions.

Now is not the time to be careless.
