League of Legends: Arrow of Champions

Chapter 775 [796] Advance to the final

On the 21st, after SKY defeated Crane 3:0, in the next two days, VCR and STR defeated their opponents 3:1 and 3:0 respectively, and advanced to the semi-finals. After that, only Yulong and ASG remained the match of.

However, Lin Xuan and the others have played a lot of training matches with these two teams. Knowing their status, they are not very worried about whether the Yulong team can advance.

SKY had trouble of its own.

After the match on the 21st, they came to Shanghai, the city where the semifinals were held, on the afternoon of the second day. During the training match that day, Zhang San and Ren Fan noticed that Mu Wanli's state was not right.

The ichthyosaur SKY on the Internet has always been followed by people, and they naturally heard about the discussion about Mu Wanli. Afterwards, Zhang San and Ren Fan had a brief chat with him. The invited psychological counselor also chatted with him.

The effect was there, but it was not resolved. The psychological counselor then told Zhang San and Ren Fan: "He has something on his mind."

It's normal to have something on your mind, but the problem is that Mu Wanli is unwilling to talk about it, and seems to repel others from touching it, so it's a bit tricky.

Lin Xuan vaguely guessed something.

After MSI, Mu Wanli is no longer an "unknown person", but he lives in the base every day, rarely goes out, and has fewer personal activities, so apart from the skyrocketing Weibo attention and private messages he has never responded to , basically no change was noticed.

If there is, it means that there are fewer people scolding him, and you can hear praises occasionally. He is no longer the top order unit of LPL, and there is even a saying that "Mu Wanli is invincible in the world".

But these are far greater than the impact of the harm of online public opinion on family members.

In fact, the coaching staff and psychological counselors did not expend much effort to solve his troubles in this area. After all, the better he plays, the less doubts there will be from the outside world, including his family. If he wins the championship and can even represent his country in next year's Asian Games, then no one will criticize him based on his background.

Yet he still had something on his mind.

The next morning—for professional e-sports players, eight or nine o’clock is also the morning. Mu Wanli received a call from his younger sister in the training room. Guilt, worried about affecting his training, specially called to cheer him up, saying that she was showing off to her classmates and so on.

At that time, there were only Lin Xuan, Jiang Yingxue, and Mu Wanli in the training room. Last night, they played a little late in the training match and slept late, so even Jiang Yingxue had just arrived in the training room and had not had a big meeting, and they were all still in line.

Seeing that he hung up the phone, Lin Xuan asked. Mu Wanli told the truth about his sister, and when he spoke, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Lin Xuan tutted, "Your sister is much more sensible than you."

Seeing Jiang Yingxue look over after speaking, she smiled at her and said, "Are you envious and want to have a younger sister?"

Jiang Yingxue gave him a white look, "I'm not envious of you."

Lin Xuan choked for a moment, because the shallow understanding of this sentence simply means that he has no sister, but there is no need to understand it too deeply, and it is easy to associate it with Jiang Qianyu.

Jiang Yingxue asked Mu Wanli again: "How old is your sister?"

Mu Wanli was stunned for a moment before saying: "Junior high school, what grade is it..." For a moment, she couldn't remember how old her sister was.

"A real sister?"

"of course."

Lin Xuan said: "Hey, hey, if the two of you don't talk like this, I'll get angry, okay?"

Jiang Yingxue asked again: "Why is she calling you?"

Lin Xuan: "Didn't I just ask again? You don't listen to us?"

Mu Wanli said with some embarrassment: "She said she was afraid that my training would be affected by what was said on the Internet."

"That's really sensible."

Jiang Yingxue paused, and then said: "Continue to win, and sooner or later everyone will shut up."

Mu Wanli didn't know what to say for a while, and Jiang Yingxue didn't wait for his answer, or to continue the chat, put on the earphones, and opened a video website.

Seeing that Mu Wanli's happiness came too suddenly, Lin Xuan silently mourned for him for two seconds, thinking that it seems that Ah Li really has no chance at all.

In fact, this is a fact that anyone with a discerning eye knows very well, otherwise, if there is even a slight possibility, even if the name will only be rejected, Lin Xuan would not make that hug gesture that day, and would definitely avoid it.

No matter what, from this day on, Mu Wanli's heart problems disappeared, and all the fluctuating training conditions quickly stabilized.

In the afternoon, Yulong defeated ASG 3:1, and sent the last hope of Europe and America back to their hometown.

On the 28th, the semi-finals kicked off, and China and South Korea faced off.

In the case of the quarter-finals, when the audience complained wildly, the situation of scalpers has not improved, and it is still hard to get a ticket on the spot, not to mention the ordinary audience, even Zhang Fei and Wang Fei want to buy a ticket for their daughter-in-law. Difficult, it can be seen that scalpers are rampant.

Although the high price of tickets has forced many spectators who originally wanted to go to the scene to cheer for the game, there are still many people who came to watch the game. Some of them bought tickets through the official rush, and most of them were through scalpers. purchased.

At the end of the group stage, the interviewed members of SKY and Yulong all said that it would be better not to have a civil war. The enthusiasm of all spectators.

Before the match, there were calls for "reunion finals" everywhere on the Internet, and various emoticons and posters were flying all over the sky. Among them, there was a back view of a red and a yellow two people punching side by side, which maxed out the Internet.

However, the result was not as expected.

On the 28th, fish and dragons faced off against STR, fought five rounds, and was eliminated unfortunately.

In fact, in this game, the Yulong team once pushed STR to the edge of the cliff in the early stage. After winning the match point 2:1, they took the lead at the beginning of the fourth game, but they were quickly defeated by An Chengye's mid laner Gary. Aoyou revitalized three ways, and then tied the score.

In the game of life and death, Bubble took out the blind monk at the bottom of the box, and once played a wonderful coordination and effect, but in the most critical wave of big dragon battles, he misjudged the opponent's vision and squatted in the grass In the eye position, after being caught and killed, STR took down the dragon.

Under the circumstance of being constantly pushed and eaten by the opponent's big dragon, the fish and dragon team did not want to die slowly, and decisively took the initiative to find an opportunity to form a team, but unfortunately they did not win. After Xiyan died in battle, Zhao Jiang and Mo Cheng survived Powerless to defend, was pushed off the base by the opponent.

Fang Yao's eye circles were red during the interview.

Nearly an hour after the game, the Fish and Dragons team officially released a long post on Weibo, written by a girl in charge of operations, which read, "We worked overtime and stayed up all night to make a poster for going to the Bird's Nest. We are going to win the game and show it to everyone. , but there is no chance now", "I hope SKY will continue to move forward with our hope", many fans' eyes are sore.

Jiang Qianyu also watched with tears in her eyes, sniffed and called Lin Xuan, saying to reassure him that if he loses, she will also write a long article, keeping the gratitude written from the bottom of her heart, making people cry and never scolding them.

Lin Xuan didn't know how to be kind and scolded her badly—if you don't shake your prestige at this time, when are you waiting?
In the first game of the second day, in the interview recorded before the game, the VCR mid laner—another genius who was hailed as the most likely to succeed An Chengye in the mid lane, said confidently: "SKY is very strong, but in the past few days In this year's competition, almost all LCK civil wars, I think this year is no exception, STR has successfully advanced, we will not lose to them."

In the first game, Xue Yunqi's mid laner Thain pushed the line infinitely, but did not go down the lane as most people thought before the game, but cooperated with the jungler to take care of the top lane continuously. Only 10 minutes into the game, the opponent's top laner Ryze He died four times in a row.

In the 24th minute, Mu Wanli's captain used a one-on-three kill that detonated the audience, and even ran away, completing the feedback to his teammates for continuous help.

In the second game, VCR played a one-for-two advantage through the jungle invasion at the beginning. Among them, the jungler Xin Zhao and the middle single-handed girl each got a kill, and then slowly gained the advantage through the middle-field linkage.

In the 7th minute of Xiaolong Tuan, Mu Wanli's top laner Kenan made a god-level circle, and then cooperated with Lin Xuan Kai'sa to enter the field, and the team wiped out to regain the situation.

Then VCR tried to avoid the opponent's team fight with a single belt, but in the key big dragon team, Syndra was hooked by Jiang Yingxue Thresh, and then the jungler tried to interfere when SKY was fighting the dragon, but was caught again Jiang Yingxue lost the big dragon in the hook, and then SKY used the big dragon to expand his advantage. When the second big dragon was used, the game was ended through Shuanglonghui.

In the third round, the VCR on the edge of the cliff took out Kai’Sa and Clockwork’s double late-stage C-position team-up lineup. SKY returned the same team-up lineup, but the core hero was Jinx, who rarely appeared on the field. Supporting the Titans, the jungle prince and the mid laner Syndra, Mu Wanli sacrificed his signature Aoun.

At 34 minutes, the dragons of the two sides fought decisively. When the opponent's prince Liu Handong was arrested and escaped with residual blood, he was cut to death by Kai'Sa followed by a big move. Afterwards, the five VCRs were eager to expand their results, and were defeated by Ornn, Titan and Syndra. Playing continuous control, Lin Xuan fired five rockets and killed four, completing the harvest.

Then a wave of big dragon advances directly ended the game.

SKY's promotion brought the whole LPL into a state of jubilation. Many LPL viewers really felt that it was just like Chinese New Year. All the media and people in the circle praised it.

Many scalpers who already have tickets to the finals in their hands and are waiting to sell them are as excited as the Chinese New Year.

However, for many professional players, such jubilation is somewhat unpleasant.

After a lapse of seven years, the LPL team once again entered the final of the global finals.

This is the third time an LPL team has entered the finals.

All three times are SKY.

The TL team was whipped again. The main reason was not because of their previous performance in the World Championships, but because after the quarterfinals, their AD pick Yi Yinfeng was sent out during the live broadcast.

The talented AD, who is also one of the top three LPL rookies like Lin Xuan, said that if they qualify, they will face SKY or Yulong, and the result is hard to say.

But no matter what, there is no such thing in reality, so the team that advances to the final is SKY.

It was on November [-]th, Jiang Qianyu's birthday.

The eliminated Ichthyosaurs did not disband because of being eliminated like other teams, but became a full-time training partner for SKY to help them train their lineup.

Regarding how to play STR, Wang Yingfeng gave Zhang San and Ren Fan a four-character mantra: "Target the middle lane"!
