Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 457: Head-on confrontation (I)

As one of the teams that may not have the strongest overall strength in LPL, but definitely has the most explosive temper, Fanhua’s reaction at this time can not be said to be small.

Just as Lu Liang himself said, generally speaking, most teams will not allow their players to be exposed to even the slightest bit of relevant public opinion in the period before a major competition.

Because whether it is awkward praise or awkward criticism, if you are not careful, it may affect the morale and ideas of the players who are not so determined, and it will take some effort to correct it.

But this time, after hesitating for a long time, Lu Liang decided to use these words, which had not yet formed a real public opinion trend, as the final hurdle.

As for KT, Lu Liang certainly doesn't dare to say that he has studied the opponent thoroughly.

However, they have basically completed all the work that could be done within the limited time. As for the current state of Fanhua, he thinks that it only lacks the final bit of stimulation.

KT is obviously a team with strong teamfighting and high aggressiveness. They definitely have operations and snowballing abilities, and they are quite outstanding, but in comparison, they seem to prefer a gameplay where teamfights decide the outcome.

In a sense, this style is somewhat similar to Fanhua and Xingxin, and it is a gameplay that prefers to decide the outcome head-on rather than the torturous operations.

However, their team configuration is indeed suitable for this kind of play. Whether it is Peanut in the jungle or the few tough guys on the line, they are all the kind of tough guys who are very lethal in team fights, and each of them is a real berserker and warmongerer.

In other words, when Fanhua, an equally warlike team, meets them, there will most likely be wave after wave of team battles where only the brave will win.

At that time, what will determine the direction of the game, in addition to pre-match preparations and small designs, will most likely be things like morale, determination, and spirit.

In the operation situation, no matter how strong your determination is, you can only feel helpless and furious if you fall into the opponent's operation trap.

But in a team battle, it may become the decisive factor in determining victory or defeat.

Lu Liang believes that his team has a strong psychological quality after experiencing so many public opinion storms. In addition, the public opinion on the Internet has not yet formed any truly lethal storms.
Showing it to Zhang Jiale and others at the right time could actually arouse their fighting spirit.

Sure enough, the group of people's anger was immediately aroused to the point where they were "itching to fight".

Although he didn't lose his mind immediately, the expression on his face became much worse when he looked at KT's information and photos again.

Although the top leaders knew after communication that this was not really a propaganda offensive by the Bang countrymen, it was obvious that Zhang Jiale and his team did not know that.

In their view, this is like the Koreans popping champagne at halftime, their arrogance is even overwhelming the victims' heads.

Although during this period of research, they also admitted that this "small region" that was separated from them by a favor had indeed grown to a level that required the LPL to go all out to deal with.

But they are already building up momentum before the game even starts, as if their team is about to make it back home in the quarterfinals. Isn't that a bit too confident?

What Zhang Jiale can't stand the most in his life is that some people don't take him seriously.

If he had been unable to win the championship in the past, and Ye Xiu and Wang Jiexi, who gave him the runner-up, had been a little arrogant, that would have been their ability.

How dare you open champagne when you haven't even achieved any honor?

Then I can only let you see how powerful Grandpa Zhang is, who treated the champion of your region as his son.

As for Sun Zheping, there is no need to say much. This guy is so ruthless that one of him and the KT players must die this time.

The two big brothers were so furious, let alone the ordinary young people below.

"The morale is good." Lu Liang looked at Fanhua's murderous look and nodded slightly.

I am very angry, but not to the point of losing my mind. This level is just right.

Next, he honed his edge when facing KT.

As for whether it will be beneficial or not, it depends on tomorrow's game.

……

Coincidentally, KT was also holding meetings overtime to boost morale.

However, they did not pay attention to the small splash on the Chinese Internet.

"Given the current situation, as long as we can overcome this huge obstacle, we will at least be able to secure a spot in the finals!" the coach said passionately.

"Although Team Blossom is definitely one of the strongest enemies we have faced so far, their strength is beyond doubt."

"Tomorrow's game will definitely be a tough match." He waved his hand vigorously: "But!"

"We are the champions of LCK! We are the number one seed that the entire Republic of Korea has placed its trust in!"

"We haven't lost even a big game since the playoffs!"

"If we can maintain this spirit, it will surely become our weapon to victory!"

It was a passionate speech, and the audience, who were all full of vigor and vitality, immediately started shouting.

Feng Xianjun was not fooled. South Korea did not have the intention of popping champagne at halftime or looking down on the LPL.

At least now, they still regard LPL as their biggest rival and enemy, and give them full respect.

For example, although the SSG team is still preparing intensively for their BO5 with Xingxin, the other two teams have basically given up the possibility of them winning consecutive games against the No. and No. seeds of the LPL and meeting them in the finals.

Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that an LCK team in the upper half advances to the finals.

SKT did a great job and made it to the semifinals without revealing their strength.

Now, it depends on whether KT can join forces with its brother team.

Considering that SKT has not won even a small game against Fanhua since spring, KT suddenly felt that they had a great responsibility.

If they really can't control the big devil Fanhua, LCK may really have to stop in the semi-finals.

"Think about it carefully. If you want to gain respect and status in the global e-sports field, even if you just want to get a higher salary, then the status of the LCK region must be established!"

The coach also knew that it was useless to just encourage the students, so he quickly started talking about more realistic things.

"Among the players who are not from the major regions, the first and second most valuable players are G2's Bai Shu and TL's Wunder."

"Bai Shu's strength is indeed remarkable, but Wunder's competitiveness and accumulated honors in North America are far inferior to IMPACT who came from our region."

“Why is he able to get such a high salary?”

"Because he is the runner-up top laner of MSI!" The speaker was smeb, his eyes a little red.

Although a lot of capital is pouring into LCK, the players’ salaries have not increased much.

Even the old guys in the glory days don't get paid that much, let alone these young people who are still on child labor contracts.

Originally, the nearly one million US dollar contract that IMPACT obtained by traveling to North America was already a high salary that they were drooling over.

The key point is, how could Wunder, who, according to SSG top laner cuvee, is nothing, get a higher salary than this?
Look at yourself again...

The young people's eyes began to turn red.

They are not a team like Fanhua, where the older members have already made enough money, and the young members get just as much contracts and bonuses because the older members are generous with their spending.

At least in this first year, their wages can only be described as meager.

As for next year, whether they stay in this division to develop or go overseas as foreign players, how much money they can earn will depend on the results of this game.

Only with achievements will domestic and foreign capital be willing to invest in LCK, and they will have the chance to get high salaries.

Only with good results will foreign teams be willing to spend a lot of money to buy LCK players, and their value will skyrocket.

Like the neighboring StarCraft, many clubs have already offered high salaries to top players from South Korea, eager to break the Thunder's absolute leading position in this field.

For example, Lu Bu, no one knows how much intention he has received, and his future salary will definitely be an astronomical figure.

They also want to obtain such a star-studded status.

So for this reason, we must step over this flower in front of us that looks very strong and is actually very strong!
On one hand, there is the honor of the region and the team, and on the other hand, there is the future financial prospects.
All in all, this evening, the passion of both sides had been aroused to the maximum extent by their coaches.

Let's see who will win tomorrow...
