Chapter 253 A Mad Axe Shatters the Star-Piercing Formation, A Silver Saddle Illuminates the Night as the Dragon Court is Stolen

No one expected that this highly anticipated match between the top seeds from China and South Korea would progress so quickly!
Faced with WE.A's rapid offensive, Samsung Blue had absolutely no chance to fight back.

The Korean region's proud operational system was torn to shreds like a rag against WE.A's overwhelming offensive!

In fact, Samsung Blue did consider resisting, but WE.A seemed to have a god's-eye view, preparing countermeasures in advance every time Samsung Blue tried to deploy its tactics.

Operations rely on strategic planning and accumulating advantages through resource exchange.

But WE.A seems to have known the script beforehand, how are you supposed to play against that?!

Samsung Blue had just finished the lane swap, and before the heroes even arrived on the lane, WE.A had already made preparations to deal with the lane swap.

Olaf, dancing alone on the high ground, appeared to the Samsung Blue team with a sense of mockery and ridicule.

The competition has reached the semi-final stage, so it's impossible to surrender like in the group stage. Every game must be fought to the last moment, otherwise, the angry fans will definitely settle scores after the game.

Therefore, at this moment, the Samsung Blue players could only force themselves to fight, trying to find a glimmer of hope in their despair.

Olaf's dancing further stirred the nerves of everyone in the Samsung Blue team.

Heart noticed that Olaf's position was somewhat out of sync with the rest of WE.A. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Can I open it? I can find an opportunity!"

Heart's words quickly received a response from the Samsung Blue team.

They knew that this aggressive move might kill Olaf, but facing WE.A's counterattack would likely only cause their base to explode sooner.

But now their anger has made them lose their minds.

It would be enough to just kill Olaf, who so openly and boldly mocked them in front of players worldwide.

After all, no matter what, this game was already lost.

After receiving feedback from his teammates, Heart no longer hesitated and steered the Minotaur forward.

He didn't choose to Flash directly to control Olaf because he knew that with Zhou Li's reaction, his Flash-WQ combo would definitely be reacted to by the opponent.

So Heart cleverly chose to go to the minion wave that WQ had just arrived, as if he just wanted to clear a wave of minions.

Then, the instant you use Q, immediately press Flash!

"Anivia used Q-Flash! He engaged Olaf! The 3-star Blue seems unable to tolerate Zhou Li's taunts and chooses to force an engagement!"

Olaf was sent flying by the bull's head, but Zhou Li was not in a hurry.

In the Samsung Blue lineup, the only one with any damage output right now is Deft's Kog'Maw.

The three junglers, who had already completely collapsed and were underdeveloped, dealt him damage like scraping a scald.

So he wasn't in a hurry to use his ultimate to counterattack; he simply pulled back while keeping an eye on Deft's positioning.

Deft is, after all, a world-class ADC player, and he understood that he absolutely could not give Olaf a chance at this moment. Therefore, he was very cautious in his positioning, preferring to deal less damage rather than give Olaf an opportunity.

But the pilots at this point were still quite young.

After seeing Olaf's health drop to half, he finally couldn't resist and greedily went forward to use a basic attack.

And it was this tiny gesture that immediately earned Olaf an axe blow!

"boom!"

A burst of intense gasps erupted from the crowd!
"Wow! Olaf used a Q-Flash! He charged in! He went straight for Deft's face! Facing a five-man encirclement, Zhou Li actually chose to fight back!! My god, is he crazy!!"

In the Korean live stream, Jeon Yong-jun's eyes widened, and he lunged forward, staring intently at the live stream screen!

"Deft used Flash immediately, but Olaf had already activated his ultimate! Deft used Heal, but it was no use! Olaf! He's like a mad dog! Deft!! Deft!! Ahhh! Deft seems to be trapped! No one can stop Olaf!!"

[WE.A丶Li (Berserker) has defeated SSB丶deft (Abyss Maw)!!]

Zhou Li beheaded the pilot, then grabbed the nearest bull's head and began hacking at it wildly!
Before the counterattack, Zhou Li's Olaf's health had dropped to nearly a third.

However, as he kept attacking, Olaf's health kept increasing, and he was almost back to half health!
This completely shattered the morale of everyone who liked Samsung Blue!
Olaf's powerful kill on Kog'Maw among the five made the little guy scream involuntarily!

"Wow! Why are you all putting up with him?!"

What's even more critical is that WE.A's teammates who had retreated earlier have returned to the battlefield!
Flandre's Kennen took the lead, flashing in and using his ultimate to engage!
【ACE!】

With a crisp announcement, WE.A pulled off a 0-for-5 exchange right in front of Samsung Blue's inhibitor turret!
"WE.A! They've wiped out Samsung Blue! Now they can end the game in one fell swoop!"

"Lucian and Jayce are attacking the tower incredibly fast! Even Deft, who has the fastest respawn time with a three-star blue buff, only has twenty seconds left! It's simply too late!!"

Congratulations to WE.A! They've won the first game of the 2014 League of Legends World Championship semifinals!!!

As Miller shouted excitedly, the audience erupted in a thunderous cheer!
And the Samsung Blue base, amidst the cheers, was reduced to dust!

"Wow! This match ended so fast! Twenty-one minutes and thirty-six seconds! WE.A ended the game in one go! Samsung Blue's proud macro-management was completely useless against WE.A!"

Bella was extremely excited and shouted:
"Who dares to claim invincibility? Who dares to say they are undefeated? Only WE!!"

"It's worth mentioning that WE.A has achieved a record of 28 consecutive victories since the start of the Summer Split! They have remained undefeated since the Summer Split, even in the World Championship!"

Miller felt that Bella was speaking too soon.

After all, today's match is a best-of-five series, and this is only the first game.

Although he also felt that WE.A wouldn't lose, Samsung Blue was, after all, the number one seed team, and there was no guarantee that they wouldn't have some big tricks up their sleeves. If they managed to steal a game from WE.A, then the commentators who were celebrating prematurely would have to "take responsibility."

However, it's understandable that WE.A's victory today was a huge morale booster for LPL viewers.

Although WE.A had thoroughly taught the Korean team NJWS a lesson in the previous group stage, which alleviated LPL's fear of Korea to some extent.

However, from the outside perspective, NJWS is only the third seed from the OGN region.

Just like how WE.A completely crushed OMG, the third seed from the LPL.

OGN's number one seed, Samsung Blue, has a clear advantage over NJWS.

Therefore, before the two teams actually face off, no one can guarantee which team is stronger.

After all, there are just too many factors to consider when the two teams play each other.

For example, player form, draft picks, and tactical counters, etc.

Think back to OMG back then. On the eve of the All-Star Game, LPL fans were shouting that revenge was just around the corner, full of confidence. But when they got to the stage, they were completely swept by SKT, so badly that they didn't even recognize their own mothers.

Who can guarantee that WE.A, which seems invincible now, will still be so strong when facing top teams in OGN?

Even before the match started, there were still quite a few so-called "rational fans" who were pessimistic about this semi-final.

But WE.A shattered all the skepticism in just twenty minutes!
In the commentary booth, Miller was excitedly shouting:

"WE.A, they proved in twenty minutes that no matter who their opponent is, they are still the WE.A team that brings endless shock to the world!!"

Bella nodded. Among the group of two men and one woman, she was the first to suppress her excitement.

"However, we need to calm down now, after all, WE.A still has two more matches to play!"

The child immediately noticed the problem and jokingly remarked:
"They told us to calm down, but then they said it would be two games, which is a best-of-five series."

Compared to the atmosphere in China, Koreans on the South Korean internet were in a state of deep mourning.

Although Samsung Blue only lost the first game, the key point is that it was lost too quickly and too badly!
Their top seed, on whom they had placed such high hopes, was treated like a pathetic European or American loser when facing WE.A. This was their Republic of Korea's top seed!
Just like LPL viewers had the same idea before the match, although WE.A had crushed their Korean third seed NJWS in the group stage.

But that was only the third seed, wasn't it?

NJWS is a trash team that couldn't even make it out of the group stage. They've long been a disgrace to South Korea and have been stripped of their citizenship.

Therefore, it has no reference value whatsoever.

Before the match, many South Korean netizens said that only the Samsung twins could truly demonstrate the strength of their South Korean region.

Although Samsung Blue's performance in the World Championship is not as impressive as WE.A's, and they have lost quite a few games so far, they believe that Samsung Blue will show their true strength in the semifinals.

As a result, WE.A gave them a rude awakening right from the start today.

The stick was woken up by the stick.

Just like Miller's post-game summary.

WE.A is that WE.A team.

It doesn't matter who the opponent is, it's all the same to them.

The feeling this first game gave people was less about Samsung Blue being too weak and more about how incredibly strong WE.A was!

And this feeling is the most despairing!
Samsung Blue Lounge.

The Emperor was still relentlessly criticizing Spirit.

"Wow! This game was such a shame to lose. Why did you choose to start with the blue buff? He's Olaf jungler, you could have just avoided it!"

In the Emperor's opinion, the reason why this game was lost so miserably was entirely due to Spirit's poor judgment.

If it weren't for the first wave of support for Spirit, how could the top, mid, and jungle have completely collapsed?

But this time, Spirit didn't choose to indulge the emperor.

He already harbored a lot of resentment towards the emperor.

During the group stage match against WE.B, it was because of this noob that he got dragged into the mess and his family was cursed by netizens for a long time.

In the end, he managed to shift the blame onto himself in this game!
Listen to him, is he speaking like a complete idiot?
"How could I not have thought about avoiding Olaf? It was precisely because I wanted to avoid him that I chose the blue start!"

"Why make excuses?" the Emperor pointed out with displeasure. "The fact is, Olaf found you, didn't he? If you had just gone to the red buff area, none of this would have happened."

The Emperor's words sent Spirit into a complete frenzy, and it stubbornly shouted:
"Damn it, he guessed I was going to take the blue buff, what could I do! He's smarter than me, and I'm dumber than him! What can I do?! On the other hand, you agreed to play Lulu, if you had played Lulu, how dare he invade my jungle like that! And you could have killed him earlier by using Ignite, why did you keep saving it! Do you have no brains and no hands?!"

Spirit's insults, which resulted in a double loss of 1,000 to 800 enemies, turned the Samsung Blue lounge into a library.

Everyone stared at Spirit in shock, clearly not expecting him to utter such outrageous words.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the Emperor revealed his signature Korean-style smirk.

"Axi..."

Eight is silent.

"You've gone mad! Are you insane?!"

He rolled up his sleeves, ready to give Spirit, this arrogant brat, a taste of Korean-style bullying.

Heart, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer and stopped the two of them.

"Alright! What exactly do you want to do! The match isn't over yet!"

When Heart spoke, the two stopped arguing, but their anger was clearly not gone.

At this moment, coach Choi Yoon-sang finally spoke up:

"Keep arguing! Why don't you stop arguing?!"

Faced with Choi Yoon-sang's angry rebuke, everyone lowered their heads.

Unlike most LPL teams now, Korean clubs have come to place great importance on the coach's position within the team.

Choi Yoon-sang has absolute authority within the team.

He looked at the Emperor and immediately offered the most cordial greeting, clearly having tolerated this "star player" for a long time.

"Idiot, why didn't you pick Lulu! Damn it, who gave you such confidence? Have I been too lenient with you all this time?! If you still want to play, then go up there and play properly. If you don't want to play, get out of the club right now! The enemy mid laner is way better than you!"

Choi Yoon-sang wanted to say a few more words of abuse, but his voice suddenly stopped.

He noticed that the door to the lounge had been opened a crack at some point, revealing half of a cell phone.

"who!"

He tensed up instantly.

"what……"

The door was pushed open, and a smiling, seemingly harmless man appeared in the doorway.

He bowed and scraped, a fawning smile on his face, and began to speak:

"!"

Choi Yoon-sang paused for a moment, his angry gaze sweeping over his teammates.

"Who ordered takeout?!"

Everyone shook their heads, looking puzzled.

Just as Choi Yoon-sang was about to step forward with suspicion, he saw the delivery guy suddenly shout.

"Ah! I'm sorry! Wrong address! Private Marseille!"

Then he turned and left.

The Samsung Blue group looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.

Heart was the first to react.

"Why did that person speak such strange Korean?"

Deft immediately spoke up:

"And isn't 'Private Marseille' a Japanese language? Why was he speaking Japanese?!"

The group reacted instantly, and Choi Yoon-sang rushed out, but the corridor was empty; there was no one in sight.

Five minutes later, a video appeared on Twitter.

The title was written in both Japanese and English.

[Samsung Blue's head coach Choi Yoon-sang admitted backstage that WE.A's mid-laner Xiye is hundreds of times better than his own mid-laner Dade.]

Choi Yoon-sang blushed furiously as he looked at the message on his phone!

"You damn Japanese dog, why are you helping the Chinese?!"
