Chapter 260 The Upper Rock Field is ablaze with lights, the Three Old Kings ascend to the throne to witness the new reign.

October 18th.

There is one day left until the final competition begins.

Seoul Hotel.

The Samsung White team has just finished their eighth practice match against the Samsung Blue team today!
"Wow! I really can't take it anymore, my arms are going to break if I keep training like this!"

Imp slumped in his seat, rubbing his wrist in pain.

In preparation for facing their final opponent WE.A, Samsung White has been training day and night for the past few days.

At this point, public opinion, both domestically and internationally, had reached a point where they were in an extremely unfavorable position.

It was as if Samsung White would commit a capital crime if it failed to win the championship.

This period was undoubtedly extremely painful for the Samsung White team.

Because they had never undergone such intense training before.

Head coach Chio's management philosophy is extremely advanced.

Previously, he had assigned a dedicated coach to each of the Samsung White and Samsung Blue teams, responsible for their respective tactics and training, and submitting daily training reports.

At the same time, the two teams, Samsung White and Samsung Blue, are deliberately kept in competition. The difference in their styles and daily practice allow the two teams to constantly expose and make up for each other's weaknesses.

However, Choi emphasized that he would not force training too much, but would focus more on cultivating players' awareness of self-practice and their passion for the game.

But now, he has no choice.

Samsung Blue was eliminated by WE.A in an extremely ugly manner, and now Samsung White has become the last fig leaf.

Therefore, he had to start grueling training for his team members during this period.

Fortunately, the training results were very effective.

In the past few days, Samsung White and Samsung Blue have played 36 training matches, and Samsung White has achieved a 90% win rate!
Of course, although Chio emphasized that the Samsung Blue team members must give their all, Samsung Blue has already been eliminated, and the team members are currently caught in a media storm, so their condition is definitely not very good.

Even so, a 90% win rate is already enough.

WE.A, this dark horse team that has emerged unexpectedly, has put tremendous pressure on chio.

But in Chio's opinion, if there is any team in the world that can defeat WE.A right now, it must be Samsung White!
WE.A's tactical system and Samsung White's tactical system are actually very similar.

They are both very good at early-game offensive pressure, and the most significant characteristic of both teams is the importance of their two junglers.

Like Zhou Li, Dandy, the jungler for Samsung White, was responsible for the early game tempo for the team. As the tempo master of Samsung White, Dandy also has a calm mind and is undoubtedly the team leader of Samsung White.

In Chio's opinion, if you compare the Zhou rituals with Dandy, Dandy is definitely not inferior to the Zhou rituals.

The most common comments about Zhou Li on the internet are his exceptional skills and his unsolvable mindset.

But in Chio's eyes, Zhou Li's so-called "unsolvable consciousness" was actually achieved through extreme operations.

Zhou Li's playing style is extremely aggressive, but after observing Zhou Li's every match, Chio realized that in many cases, Zhou Li's choices were not what Chio agreed with.

Because the risk is just too great!
One mistake could very well cost you the entire game!

However, this person's actions were so unpredictable that every wave of his invasions was successful, leading netizens to attribute these actions to good awareness.

In fact, the crisis was resolved through strategic maneuvering.

In contrast, Dandy, who is also skilled at hacking, would not make the same rash move as Zhou Li.

Although it may be slightly inferior to the Zhou Dynasty's Dandy in terms of operation, Chio believes that the Dandy's concept is absolutely no worse than the Zhou Dynasty's.

The teams that were previously swept and defeated by WE.A were essentially no different in nature from those teams defeated by Samsung White.

They all gained a huge advantage in the early game by playing strong junglers.

According to statistics, Samsung White can lead their opponents by more than 7000 gold in about 15 minutes per game and can end the game in about 25 minutes. Almost no team can last more than 30 minutes against them.

And this data is almost identical to that of WE.A!

This contest between the two sides has attracted a great deal of attention from the outside world.

Because two teams with similar early-game styles can definitely deliver an extremely exciting match.

The biggest reason Chio has a certain level of confidence is that he has enough trust in all his teammates.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Dandy might feel a little suppressed when facing Zhou Li, a monster in terms of skill, the tactics of Samsung White mean that Dandy will not be alone most of the time!
The core of Samsung White's tactics is the jungler and support duo roaming!
By observing WE.A's matches, Chio can be quite certain that WE.A's support player absolutely does not have Mata's ability!

I may not be your match in a 1v1 in the jungle, but what about a 2v1?!

No matter how skilled you are, I can still crush you with sheer numbers when I launch a strong early-game invasion!

Once Zhou Li is outmaneuvered, WE.A is no threat at all.

Samsung White's tactics will allow Mata and Dandy to coordinate early on, jointly invade the enemy jungle, set up deep vision, and then launch a fatal offensive against one side lane.

This playstyle makes SSW's early game tempo snowball unstoppable.

In most cases, they will choose to target the mid lane where the fat general is stationed!
Once the mid laner gets ahead, Samsung White's mid, jungle, and support will start frantically plundering resources.

It can be said that Samsung White's trident is its mid, jungle, and support!
And what about WE.A?
Judging from the current matches, they only have Zhou Li as their key weapon!
On another floor of the hotel.

At this moment, the WE.A team members are also enduring grueling training.

Xiaoming suffered the most among them.

"stand up!"

"sit down!"

"shake hands!"

With each instruction from Zhou Li, Zhu Kai, watching from the side, stopped and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's good, Brother Zhou. Xiaoming can now react in 0.2 seconds every time."

Hearing Zhu Kai's words, Zhou Li nodded in satisfaction.

He patted Xiaoming's shoulder, whose eyes had become somewhat numb, and said with relief:

"That's enough, go and rest."

Seeing Xiaoming walk to the bedside like a zombie and fall asleep immediately, the WE.A members all wore expressions as if they had seen a demon.

Zhou Li has been giving Xiaoming five days of intensive training.

The training content consists of these things that seem to have nothing to do with the game content.

According to Zhou Li, he wanted to make Xiao Ming react to his voice.

As soon as Zhou Li speaks, Xiao Ming's body has to react faster than his brain, giving the correct response.

In other words, he had to unconditionally and absolutely execute Zhou Li's orders, even skipping the process of thinking directly.

Samsung White has the only support player in the entire league to be awarded FMVP.

Let alone the still-naive Xiaoming, even Xiaoming in his prime couldn't compete with Mata in terms of thinking.

To expect Xiaoming to subjectively contend with Mata is undoubtedly wishful thinking.

However, Zhou Li also needs to guard against the roaming jungler and support from Samsung White, so he needs Xiao Ming's help.

Although a game in League of Legends can last for 30 or 40 minutes or even longer, the outcome of the game may actually be decided in just a few seconds.

Therefore, Xiaoming must be able to react to his commands with the fastest possible speed.

To put it bluntly, Xiaoming has lost his own brain. Zhou Li's mouth is his brain.

"Xiao Ming has completely become like Brother Zhou."

The Khan looked at Xiaoming, who was already fast asleep, and seemed somewhat sentimental.

"Khan!"

The next second, Zhou Li's soul-binding shouts rang out in the Khan's ears.

"exist!"

The Khan immediately gave Zhou Li a military salute.

Where is the largest and most efficacious temple in Seoul?

Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, the Khan was taken aback.

"I know that, but Brother Zhou, do you still believe in this?"

Khan obviously didn't expect that Brother Zhou, who was always fearless, would actually want to pray to the Bodhisattva for protection before the big battle.

Zhou Li waved his hand impatiently.

“You, take a taxi to the temple right now and find a master to cleanse you of your bad luck. I originally wanted to take care of this for you back in China, but the old Taoist priest said that there is a problem with your household registration and it is not under our jurisdiction.”

Khan pointed blankly at his own nose.

"I?"

Saint Gun Bro grinned slyly.

"This idiot doesn't know that while he was asleep that night, Brother Zhou performed an exorcism ritual for him, hahaha."

The Khan's eyes widened.

"Exorcising demons?!"

Zhou Li had already opened the door and kicked the Khan in the backside, sending him flying out.

"Go quickly!"

After dealing with the jinx Khan, Zhou Li turned his attention to Xi Ye.

Having resolved the biggest problem, Zhou Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The finals are tomorrow, so there's no need for training today. Everyone, get some rest. We have a practice match against Team B tomorrow at noon to help you get back into form. That's all for now, you can all go home."

After everyone left, Zhu Kai stayed behind furtively and asked Zhou Li:

"Brother Zhou, should I go downstairs and bring a few bowls of beef noodles to those Koreans?"

“No need,” Zhou Li shook his head and gave Zhu Kai two addresses. “You can just go and pick up Hyun-kyung and Eun-jung for me.”

October 2014, 10!
Sangam World Cup Stadium!

This stadium was the venue for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.

But now, after the semi-final controversy, the words "fairness and justice" are prominently displayed above the Shangyan World Cup Stadium.

The match had not yet started, but the Shangyan World Cup Stadium was already packed with people!

Tens of thousands of spectators from all over the world poured in like a tidal wave, instantly filling the empty stands to capacity.

The clamorous sound waves soared into the sky, converging into a deafening roar.

Banners, flags, and LED signs created a sea of color.

Outside the venue, countless fans who were stranded due to the difficulty in obtaining tickets remained just as enthusiastic, gathering in front of the big screen and eagerly awaiting their turn.

In the backstage corridor, the contestants preparing to enter were surrounded by this tsunami-like momentum, and the air seemed to freeze due to the fervent anticipation and immense pressure.

At this moment, the official live stream of League of Legends esports is experiencing its highest viewership in history.

On the big screen, the final countdown has reached its last ten seconds!
The stage resounded with a powerful drumbeat, and with each beat, the world of the final battle gradually came to a standstill!

When the time on the big screen reached its final second, the crowd erupted in a thunderous roar that soared into the sky!
On stage, the Koreans are giving their all to showcase the traditional culture of the Korean ethnic group in China to the world.

On the big screen, accompanied by Menglong's passionate singing, the battle scenes of the sixteen teams in the World Championship began to flash back continuously!

Among these—

OMG, a comeback from 50 HP down!

There was a bewildered look in Clearlove's eyes after the first round of the group stage for WE.B!
The confidence and composure that NJWS's mid laner, gogong, exuded when he locked in Zed was truly remarkable.

There's a clip of the Samsung Blue team completely stunned when WE.A broke their defenses.

There's a highlight reel of Samsung White ADC player imp wielding Vayne and racking up a pentakill.

Even more impressive was Zhou Li's solitary and heroic presence as he stood alone on the stage, under the spotlight, with his arms outstretched in the face of the deafening boos from the Korean audience!

When everything settles down!
Rising from the ground, creating brilliance!

At this moment, the two teams that have made it to the final are standing at the center of the stage of the Sanam World Cup Stadium, which is also the center of the world!
"To our viewers here and those watching the live stream!!"

On the stage, Quan Yongjun's excited voice rang out!

"You are now watching the 2014 League of Legends World Championship!"

"A month ago, the world's top sixteen League of Legends clubs competed against each other. In this fierce battle, only two teams made it to the final stage! Now they are only one step away from the ultimate glory, from the top of the world! The championship trophy, representing the supreme glory of Summoners, is right there, seemingly within reach! But we all know that only one team can lift this trophy today!"

"Now, xpeke, the S1 World Championship winner, TOYZ, the S2 World Championship winner, and Faker, the S3 World Championship winner, are standing in the center of the stage, watching the championship trophy they once lifted! And now, they may regretfully be unable to lift this trophy again, but today, they will also be here to witness the birth of a new king!"

Quan Yongjun pointed to his side!
"Standing to my left is the Samsung White team!"

"Top laner Looper!"

"Dandy the jungler!"

"Mid laner Pawn!"

"ADC imp!"

"Support Mata!"

The cheers from the crowd lasted for more than a minute before they finally subsided.

"Standing to my right is the WE.A team!"

"Top laner Flandre!"

"Jungler Li!"

"Mid laner xiye!"

"ADC smlz!"
