Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 436 S6 version, I am your fan... ?
On the fourth day, Group A had a scrimmage.

If I have to say, the games in Group A are slightly less interesting than those in the other groups.

It’s not that their strength is not strong, it’s mainly because the ecology of Group A has a little bit of stratification.

To put it simply, although the fight between Blue Rain and Samsung is tense, unless someone on Blue Rain pulls a big trick, such as Gangzi replicating a wave of one fish and four kills, it will be difficult for SSG to find a breakthrough in their iron wall.

The match between Samsung and FNC was obviously suppressive. Although the middle and lower lanes were still evenly matched, there was still a small gap in terms of overall integrity and tactical quality.

Not to mention GAM. Apart from Levi who is qualified to be at the table, it is still a question of whether the others can get a spot even if they are put in the qualifying round.

This clear-cut situation of strength and weakness made the game slightly less suspenseful.

Especially LPL fans.

Among the four teams currently, the ones that seem to be able to fight the most intensely are Samsung and Blue Rain.

But they can't possibly expect Samsung to win, right?
The LPL in this world is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by everyone in the parallel world. If fans really dare to blatantly support foreign regions in the national war, their nationality will be confiscated.

As for the strategic game on the fourth day, the situation was roughly the same.

In the second match against Blue Rain, Samsung, who had suffered a loss once, was even more vigilant in the jungle this time, vowing to help An Bi Xin drag Huang Shaotian to death in the jungle.

But the result was that Huang Shaotian decisively gave up his style of invading as soon as he arrived, and happily ran to help ambush people on the line.

The result was that the first blood came much faster in this game than the previous one. Not long after Ruler and corejj came up, they were killed by a three-on-two attack in the bottom lane, and the bottom lane was immediately at risk of being destroyed.

By the time Samsung belatedly started to defend their line, Huang Shaotian began to leisurely continue to stir up trouble in Anbi Xin's jungle area.

As a top opportunist, Huang Shaotian has never been too particular about playing style. Whether it is focusing on rhythm or his own development, he just does whatever comes naturally.

In addition, Yu Wenzhou's external brain helped him make the final judgment and correction, so there was no fixed way of playing that could limit him when facing Huang Shaotian.

This is where Blue Rain's rogue side comes in. They possess top-notch tactics and operational thinking, but the presence of Huang Shaotian makes it difficult for opponents, even if they are equally good at operations, to play comfortably at their own pace.

Unlike the previous game, even though Samsung fully utilized their strengths of dragging the game and mixing things up in the mid-game, they once again tried to drag the game to the late game when they could catch up with their equipment and then decide the outcome.

But this time, Blue Rain found an opportunity around 30 minutes in. They dodged in the grass and flashed to Pawn, who was not careful enough in maintaining vision. After causing casualties, they instantly turned to the Baron and began to advance fiercely.

Finally, they pushed down the crystal in about thirty-five minutes and won 2-0 against Samsung in the group stage.

After this game, because the situation was still a bit tense, and the fact that Blue Rain was the number one seed against the number three seed, the controversy about which region is stronger, the LPL or the dark horse LCK, has not dissipated.

But another less noticeable inequality was summarized by the people who like to have fun: CN glory>KR glory.

To some extent, An Bi Xin and Huang Shaotian are somewhat similar.

They all switched to League of Legends from Honor halfway through. Before the switch, they were all well-known and legendary players in their respective regions. Their honors were roughly the same, and after coming to League of Legends, they all chose the jungle position.

However, judging from the current direct dialogue, Huang Shaotian can be said to have basically achieved direct suppression of Anbi Xin.

Although there are some objective factors involved, such as An Bixin's older age, it can also be proved that Huang Shaotian's personal strength is able to overwhelm An Bixin.

Taking into account the fact that Park Jae-yoon was slaughtered like a dog by Fanhua in MSI, it can basically be concluded that KR's glory is not as good as CN's.

SSG doesn't care about the mess at Honor, and An Bi Xin is not a nostalgic person.

However, losing both games to Blue Rain frustrated LCK's originally unstoppable momentum, which made Lao Deng very unhappy.

Therefore, in Samsung's other games, they were a little bit heavier.

Especially in the two games against FNC, it was a bit cruel.

Ryu was desperate.

You know, when he was still in KT in the spring, Pawn and his Samsung didn't cause much trouble for Ryu.

His personal performance was basically able to suppress the opponent.

It can be said that at that time, Ryu was undoubtedly the strongest mid laner in LCK except for Faker.

If Samsung had extended an olive branch to him at that time, he would probably have been too lazy to go.

But less than half a year had passed, and after replacing a pair of midfielders, his old teammates' fighting power suddenly soared, and they crossed the step that they could not cross in the spring and won the LCK championship.
Samsung, their rival that they once looked down upon, has also grown into a company that they cannot reach.

Faced with Pawn again, although in terms of laning alone, Ryu was still confident that he could at least have a 50-50 chance with him.

But the environment where one can focus on suppressing the opponent is gone forever.

Why is it me? Ryu couldn't figure it out.

When I first came to FNC, I felt that my teammates had excellent individual abilities, not much different from KT back then.

Everyone played well in the LEC Summer Season. Although they didn't beat G2, they are definitely one of the most competitive teams.

But why did they suffer a crushing defeat when it came to the World Championship?

For this question, the equally lamentable LEC fans probably have no way to answer them.

There are quite a lot of fans from Europe who came to China to cheer for LEC this time.

The runner-up finish in the spring, coupled with the reinforcements and improvements in the summer, gave them great ambitions for the championship trophy.

Now the result is that they came all the way to the scene to cheer for the LEC team, but their team just gave them wave after wave of big wins.

Well, after suffering two crushing defeats in front of Blue Rain and Samsung, FNC has basically reached the third to fourth steps of "opening game - life and death battle - honor battle - train station".

God knows how desperate those LEC fans who traveled across the ocean to China with high hopes are feeling at this moment.

If Chengdu itself were not an excellent tourist city, simply coming here to play for a few days would be worth the trip. Otherwise, the public pressure that LEC is facing now might be a little higher.

This is the first season, and the LEC audience has not yet completely collapsed like the LEC after S11 in the parallel world.

绞尽脑汁也想不明白为什么战败的FNC看着从1-1一路打到1-4的战绩欲哭无泪，然后就将凶狠的目光投向了隔壁0-5的GAM。

Maybe there is no hope of advancing, but at least we have to win this last game and save the last face of LEC!

I was feeling very angry when I faced those two monsters.

Sorry, we can only vent our anger on the Vietnamese. But the question is, will the Vietnamese really be willing to let them vent their anger?
One thing that didn't receive much attention at the time was that Levi mentioned in a pre-match interview that he was a fan of Ryu.

When this statement came out, it caused a lot of question marks in the official live broadcast room.

No, you are a jungler, why would you be a fan of a mid laner?

Well, not just the mid laner, in fact, a week or two ago, Levi mentioned in an interview that he is a fan of IMPACT.

After all, Levi's two sentences are not just politeness, but also a signal sent to the outside world.

At least before the start of the World Championship, Ryu and IMPACT were examples around the world of going to foreign regions as foreign aid that were as good as or slightly better than their home regions and still being able to achieve good results.

To put it in an inappropriate analogy, it's like Mr. Yue, who came from the European League, going to the NBA, with similar influence.

Levi emphasized the two of them in the interview and regarded them as role models, and the subtext was very clear:
He wants to be a mercenary from another region.

Although Levi is not a stranger, he really doesn't have much affection for GAM and VCS.

As a top player with a very high status in the region, he knows very well what VCS is like.

The management is chaotic, there are many scams, the coach is eating for free, and the talent is buried...

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

If GAM hadn't done well in the spring and barely managed to grab a top six spot,

They may not be able to beat the weaklings who only have one entry.

What is most difficult for Levi to accept is some truly fatal bad habits that have begun to grow quietly in the competition area.

For example, gambling and match-fixing.

China's own legal system is strict and excellent enough, and with Tencent's unremitting governance and black technology, things like match-fixing have been basically eradicated in China, at least in the e-sports industry.

But obviously, Vietnam is not China. This place is already extremely chaotic.

There is not enough manpower, material resources and financial resources to implement such strict supervision on the competition and gaming environment like China.

Especially for things like match-fixing and gambling, which cannot be easily detected by in-game plug-ins, it is even more difficult to detect them.

In addition, Vietnam itself is not a developed region, and entertainment industries such as e-sports are not fully developed. At least in terms of commercialization, the progress is not fast.

Although the salaries of most professional players are quite decent in their own country, they are not very impressive when compared with those in the rest of the world.

But it’s completely different for spinach. As long as you are willing to cooperate with them in depravity, you will never lack money.

Levi doesn’t know how many VCS players are already ready to make a move or may have even already fixed the game.

But he knew that if things continued like this, even the strongest GAM, as the leader and face of the region, would fall only a matter of time.

Even the VCS second team, which also entered the World Championship but was eliminated in the qualifying round without making any splash and does not even deserve a name, may have had some problems.

Levi knew that this was by no means a healthy and normal scene for a competitive region, and he also knew that the future of VCS would not be optimistic if it continued like this.

But what can we do?

Even a giant like Tenghai, which wanted to take charge, was restrained by many local tyrants in Vietnam and could not do anything.

What's more, he is just an ordinary player with no power or influence.
Even if he gambles his career and sacrifices himself to blow up the cesspool, whether it will be effective is another matter.

By then, it is likely that there will be much ado about nothing, and after being passed around by several Ruan commissioners, the matter will eventually come to nothing, and his career will be over.

In this case, Levi felt that he had only one way to go:

Take a look at the strong teams passing by!
The strongest jungler in VCS, leading a team to the finals by himself! His contract expires at the end of this year! He works hard and never complains, but his salary requirements are not as high as those of the stars in the major competition areas!
If you are interested, please contact us quickly!

That's why he frequently mentioned Ryu and other foreign aid role models in interviews, hoping that teams that are strong but lacking in the jungle position would take a look at him.

Cheap and durable Vietnamese foreign aid!
However, Levi didn't know:
The current version is roughly synchronized with S6 in the parallel world.
He also said that he was a fan of a famous player on the other side.
It seemed that some extraordinary bond had been triggered.

In short, Xingxin head coach Mingkai, who was watching the live broadcast of the match between FNC and GAM while eating that day, got goose bumps all over his body the moment he heard that sentence.

A chill of unknown origin lingered throughout my body.

He was so scared that he didn't even bother to eat, and hurried back to study KT's video all night.

On the GAM side, Levi, who had already treated the last game as his own performance, completely let himself go.

Who cares? I’m going home anyway, so I might as well have fun playing first!

Coincidentally, the opposing FNC, especially Ryu, thought the same way, so in their eagerness to kill and win, they played this round particularly recklessly.

The result is that Levi always hits the mark.

Levi didn't think about what his opponent was thinking. He just subconsciously thought:
Eh? The opponent is pretty easy to catch?

So what are you waiting for? The data is right in front of you, check it out!
His teammates, who were originally dejected because they had not won a single game, suddenly saw their leader being so brave and leading the whole game. The opponents seemed to be thrown into disarray.

Could it be possible...?
Although there is no hope of advancing, if we can draw 1:1 with the second seed of LEC, it would seem that we can still go back with great face.

So, with their morale boosted, they all started to counterattack, shouting and following Big Brother Levi.

As we all know, in games without LPLLCK, most of the time, the operational level of both sides is not very high.

Especially now that FNC is losing quickly and doesn’t know how to play the game, they have no way of calming down in a short period of time to counter GAM’s mad dog counterattack and can only fight against them.

Maybe they are definitely superior to GAM in terms of personal ability, but the morale and the leadership buff that Levi adds to GAM can change everything in this situation.

So, in the end, in thirty-three minutes, thirty kills broke out, and this fierce battle between the two reckless men that dazzled countless spectators was actually won by GAM.

They were able to hold on to a precious victory and end their first World Championship journey with their heads held high.

Judging from the cheers that filled the VCS live broadcast room when they won the game, they should be able to go back with dignity.

As for Vietnamese prisoners of war Ryu and FNC...

Good luck to them.
