Alliance: IG, I will take you to rush again

Chapter 146 The only seedling IG, LPL's only hope (for subscription)
After a week-long rest, RNG took the lead in meeting the challenge of SKT.

Compared with the other half of the game, people's attention is more focused on RNG.

For nothing else, just like fate, it must be a challenge for RNG to face the triple crown dynastic team SKT in the semi-finals of the World Championship.

Both RNG and SKT are the top teams in the two divisions.

As the first party to start the semi-finals, RNG carries the honor of LPL.

The day before the match, Lin Yue had expressed the importance of Galio to his RNG teammates more than once.

Since following the historical trajectory, five bans on Galio cannot win the game, why not try to ban Galio, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.

But the RNG teammates obviously didn't take Lin Yue's words seriously.

Everyone thought that Lin Yue was joking. After all, BP was something only coaches had to worry about, and Lin Yue was a newcomer, so they naturally didn't take this to heart.

Sitting on the preparation table, everyone in RNG was full of excitement. Xiaohu deliberately opened his throat and presented a song in order to calm his teammates down.

The game started under the sound of magic.

In the first round, RNG chose the blue side.

SKT is naturally the red side.

This time IG people did not come to the scene to watch the game. Their game is tomorrow. It is not good to show their faces in front of the public at this time.

If I lose to SSG, I will definitely be criticized for not training hard, and I am still in the mood to watch other teams' games the day before the game.

Therefore, everyone on IG secretly watched the live broadcast in the hotel.

For the rest of the day, there is no special need for training, just adjust your mentality.

"Lin Yue, which side do you prefer, SKT or RNG?"

The game was still in the preparation stage, King Ning asked curiously.

Since Lin Yue's prophecy was already well-known in the IG team, after King Ning spoke, everyone stopped talking, expecting to hear the answer from Lin Yue.

"Guan Zeyuan's prediction is that RNG3 is better than 2SKT, so my prediction is the opposite. This probability must be greater."

Lin Yue laughed.

He didn't want to reveal too much, so he used Guan Zeyuan as a shield.

However, the facts are as Lin Yue thought, under normal conditions, RNG will definitely lose to SKT, and they still lose to their opponents in such a narrow way.

It's a bit of a pity.

However, before the game, Lin Yue was already trying to change some things as much as possible.

If everyone in RNG listens, there may be hope.

This time, he was not sure who would win and who would lose, so he was looking forward to the result of the game, sitting among the crowd, and seeing the demeanor of the two teams.

In the first game, RNG took out the combination of Shen, Zhumei, Grasshopper, Mouse, and Fengnv.

The hero used by Faker on SKT is still Galio.

……

After 38 minutes, RNG's Ssangyong Hui got off to a good start.

In the congratulations to RNG that I remember, the scene was full of cheers, and the barrage was frantically swiping the screen.

Even everyone on IG can feel the blood boiling in their hearts.

Compared with the resolute figure of everyone in RNG, Faker, who lost the first game, sat in his seat for a long time and didn't get up.

A little dazed, a little helpless, he rarely had this kind of experience in the World Championships, and RNG's overly strong performance in the first game made him realize something.

Maybe he is no longer at the peak, and his teammates are definitely not at the peak.

The commentary lineup of this game is also quite luxurious. I remember that as the official commentary, I also invited Uzi’s former teammate Shen Chao as the guest commentator. Not only that, but there is also a commentary from the famous IG and Ning Wang’s guide PDD.

He did not participate in the second day of IG's game, but was scheduled to the first day.

Even the PDD does not understand what the official intention of such an arrangement is.

Of course, these are not important.

It's just enough to prove that the official attaches great importance to this game.

RNG's first win brings hope to all LPL viewers.

Maybe the opponent is a legend, but RNG also hopes to become a legend.

In the second game, SKT quickly recovered the field and pulled back a victory.

Galio had no vision W flash, and taunted the three of them in Nightmare's ultimate move, helping SKT win the victory.

I have to say that the rhythm of Blank's barrel is also quite good.

SKT proved to the world that the king is still the king in the second game.

At this time, RNG still didn't feel anything, but seeing the situation developing towards the past, Lin Yue felt more and more that RNG was about to fall today.

Sure enough, in the next two hours, RNG and SKT each won a game, rewriting the score to 2-2.

In the deciding game, RNG came up with their most confident lineup, the mid laner Xiaohu took out the plane, the jungler Mala Xiangguo locked the prince, and Letme also had Shen who was good at it.

It's a pity that Uzi didn't have the energy to use another VN due to his hand injury.

And SKT also took advantage of a ban position, that is, Uzi did not use Xia in the World Championship.

This caused SKT to respond more naturally in the draft phase.

In the last game, SKT's lineup was quite balanced, with top laner Gnar, jungler Prince, mid laner Galio, bottom laner policewoman and Lulu.

"Sure enough! Still haven't banned Galio."

After a few words of emotion, Lin Yue paced out the door.

He already had the answer in his mind.

RNG will export SKT, which means that IG is the only seedling of the entire LPL.

Even with the breeze blowing by at night, Lin Yue could smell the pressure in the air.

If IG is still the only seedling of LPL, then they will carry the last hope of LPL.

This is the picture that Lin Yue had been looking forward to when he first joined IG a few months ago.

But at this moment, when he really faced this situation, the pressure would only be greater than he imagined.

……

A few 10 minutes later, IG people sighed from the hotel, some were sorry for RNG, while others were worried about the upcoming semi-finals.

This is destined to be a regretful night for RNG fans, and it is also a sleepless night for the five IGs.

Except for Duke, who had already experienced it, the rest of them had their own concerns.

It's not that you don't think too much when you are usually optimistic. On the contrary, behind the optimism is the sadness that is deliberately concealed.

In the "puppy down" that I remember screaming, RNG lost to SKT 2-3.

At this time, everyone in IG suddenly realized that their prophet and coach Lin Yue was right again.

"Where's Brother Yue?"

Ah Shui asked curiously.

"After the BP ended, I watched Lin Yue go out. At first I thought he was just going to the toilet, but I didn't expect that he didn't come back after the whole game."

King Ning was puzzled.

Afterwards, Ah Shui worriedly made a few phone calls, thinking that Lin Yue was suffering because of RNG's loss.

After all, during these days, Lin Yue and RNG got along very well, and even Ah Shui was a little jealous.

Half an hour later, when Lin Yue returned to the room, Ah Shui immediately knocked on the door to check the situation.

Lin Yue had just finished his run and was about to take a shower, so he opened the door for him rather reluctantly.

"What's the matter, Bobo, what's the matter?"

Lin Yue asked curiously, from the other party's hasty knock on the door, he thought there was something urgent.

"You disappeared for more than an hour. Why did you go? My buddy thought you disappeared before the game, and you're running around in the mood for the game tomorrow."

"Also, the match between RNG and SKT is over. RNG really lost just as you said, and you guessed it right."

"..."

Ah Shui's mouth was faster than Dazui's attack speed, Lin Yue was taken aback when he heard it, and he had no chance to interrupt.

Fortunately, Ah Shui couldn't breathe, so Lin Yue had a chance to defend himself.

"I'm just going out for a run, as for?"

"Professional players not only compete for skills, but also compete for body! I suggest you go out with me for a run when you have time."

Lin Yue laughed.

He could hear worry from Ah Shui's mouth.

I know this guy is stubborn.

"Oh~, you went for a run together! My buddy thought you ran away, and was scared by RNG."

Ah Shui suddenly realized, and continued to ask: "Then why don't you answer the phone while running?"

"I don't like to carry my mobile phone when I run. I just concentrate on running. It's not very comfortable to run with a mobile phone."

Lin Yue said with shame.

This guy's brain circuit is really strange.

He can even think of running away, and he is not someone.

Afterwards, Ah Shui stayed in Lin Yue's room and refused to leave, saying that he wanted to deepen the relationship with the bot duo, so he pushed Lin Yue out.

There is a game tomorrow, so you can't sleep well tonight?

……

On October 10th, at noon on the second day of the game, Lin Yue followed everyone from IG to the venue ahead of schedule.

The game will be held at 15:30 in the afternoon. After a little preparation, the game will start.

I don't know if it was the reason why RNG lost to SKT yesterday. Although the audience agreed a lot in today's game, the cheers did not have the momentum of yesterday.

Maybe the fans are also afraid that tonight's game will also lose.

Accepting the defeat for two consecutive days will break the hearts of LPL fans, and those who cannot bear it may completely withdraw from the LPL world and never watch the game again.

Even with such a wonderful start, LPL still failed to get rid of its fate.

IG is standing where WE used to be. If it loses to SSG, then LPL's S7 will end here.

Who would have thought that there is only one IG left in the first place of the three groups.

Just like the mood of fans taking a turn for the worse, the pressure of everyone on IG is rising steadily.

Although everyone is excited about the upcoming semi-finals, the pressure is also unprecedented.

Winning or losing is fate. The moment I stood on the field, IG had no way out.

Before the game, as usual, Chris gave everyone some positive chicken soup.

Even he himself was very disturbed.

Today's opponent SSG is the favorite LZ team to win the championship with zero seals in the quarterfinals.

It is not comparable to MSF.

IG is still a young team that has not experienced many challenges from the beginning to the end. While the upper limit is high, the lower limit of IG may also be very low.

Coupled with the loss of RNG yesterday, LPL fans chose to lie flat for the time being, and wait for IG to take the initiative on the scene and get up again.

It's not that they are superficial, it's just that they really don't have the ability to accept failure.

"No matter what the result is, we must play well, live up to today, and give an explanation to the home audience."

Lin Yue laughed, this 18-year-old inspired everyone.

Even though I am nervous, I am full of anticipation for the game.

It's all here, how can you be willing if you don't work hard?

Facing the crowds of spectators, everyone from IG went to the combat seats.

The capacity of the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center is very large, and there are many more spectators than in the quarterfinals.

While the scene is getting bigger and bigger, it also proves that the game is getting more difficult.

……

"Welcome to the scene of the S7 semi-finals. I am the commentator Miller."

"Hi everyone, I'm the commentary doll."

"Today, the two of us will explain the game to everyone. Although there are no guest commentators, I believe that with the ability of the two of us, we can handle this scene."

The two commentators laughed.

This is not a joke, it is indeed seeking truth from facts.

As far as the strength of the two partners, Wawa and Miller, is indeed no worse than yesterday's commentary lineup.

It's just that there are still many older generation IG fans looking forward to PDD to explain to IG. After all, IG has a deep relationship with him, including the one sitting on the field.

And these can only have a chance when IG enters the finals.

But, can IG really have a chance to enter the finals?
This answer is unknown until the end of the game.

During the stage of debugging the equipment, everyone in IG chatted without saying a word.

It's also a way to relieve stress.

"If you lose this game, you will have a holiday."

Rookie sighed.

When everyone heard that the main C had such a weird idea, they immediately stopped him.

"Hey, it's not necessary. If you win, it's good to see the bird's nest. I haven't played in your bird's nest yet!"

"I used to only see it on TV during the Olympics."

Ah Shui is very yearning.

When I think of the opportunity to compete in a place that has witnessed many honors, I am also excited.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Rookie asked curiously, as a Korean, he naturally doesn't know much about these things.

Lin Yue and Ning Wang echoed from the sidelines, telling Rookie to stop and put his energy into the game.

The thought that LPL has nothing to lose.

Both the commentator and the fans are looking forward to it, even if they lose, they also hope that IG can stand up and lose and play momentum.

Like RNG, play five rounds.

It's a pity, but not many people blame them, try their best, the gap in strength is there.

RNG has come up with their best form.

Now, it's IG's turn to play.

"BP has already started. IG actively chooses the blue side, while SSG is the red side."

"The blue Fang IG banned the pig girl as soon as it came up. In the quarter-finals, the pig girl in the head of An was really impressive."

said the doll.

Chris has already made up his mind that it is impossible to give Ann the chance to play a game of pig girls tonight.

Even if it is the blue side, they will take the initiative to ban it.

It just so happens that King Ning doesn't like to play this hero, so it's reasonable to occupy a ban position.

"The next two bans in IG are Galio and Lulu, and the top three bans in SSG are Skate Shoes, Fengnv and Dazui."

"The goals of the top three bans on both sides are very clear. SSG wants to limit IG's bot lane combination."

Miller said.

The IG blue side took Luo in one rush.

They took this hero quite decisively, not only because Luo was a version hero, but also because Lin Yue played Luo very well.

So far in the World Championship, his Luo has not lost.

Throughout his career, Luo's winning percentage has been above [-]%.

This is the confidence of Brother Unique.

But SSG was not afraid at all, and the LZ that got Xialuo was also eliminated by them with zero seals, even if Xialuo was outside.

The last two choices of SSG are still the prince and Xiaopao.

The Prince and Xiaopao versions are popular, no surprises.

And IG readily accepted it, and SSG really released the Xialuo combination.

This is IG's signature lineup for the bottom lane.

Although LZ lost, it was LZ and had nothing to do with IG. Lin Yue and Ah Shui were more confident and excited than the other.

The youth is full of energy, this is the impact of the young IG.

On the contrary, the inexperienced IG can go on boldly.

"IG got the Xialuo combination, this BP is very comfortable! The third hand locks the barrel, this is also the hero that King Sai Ning uses more often in the world."

The doll laughed.

In addition to the first three BPs, he felt much more at ease.

For some reason, watching IG games is always more peaceful than RNG.

This sense of security is not available in RNG.

IG did not choose the heroes of the upper and middle lanes in the first three moves, and SSG also locked the gems in the third move.

The next BP is obviously that one side must have a counter all the way.

The BP link is the coach's brainstorming and the player's own hero pool competition.

The remaining two ban positions of IG were given to Clockwork and Gnar respectively.

SSG banned two top laners, Jess and Big Chongzi.

The two attacking types collided on the road, and it was also a highlight of the game who was better, TheShy or CuVee.

IG and SSG have no obvious shortcomings, and anyone can stand up at a critical moment, which is why the two teams have been able to get to where they are today.

"The SSG on the red side took the hero first, and Chidi finally locked the rock sparrow. Sure enough, SSG still wanted to leave the counter position to the top laner CuVee. It can be seen that TheShy put a lot of pressure on it."

The doll laughed.

IG has already figured it out, first out of the middle, Rookie took out Kassadin to deal with it, Kassadin has not played much for Rookie this season.

This is a routine that was practiced in the training match with WE recently. Rookie understands the game well. After learning this hero from xiye, he immediately used it in the game.

The commentators and the audience were full of exclamations. This can be said to be a blow to the SSG coach. He didn't expect that IG would take this kind of hero.

As for TheShy's hand, Chris wanted him to be cautious.

But he himself leans more toward Lambo.

TheShy doesn't want to be beaten in vain. He knows CuVee's style, and this kind of extreme player is the easiest to blow up the line.

TheShy wants to establish an advantage in the lane.

In the end, Chris chose to believe in himself and let Lin Yue lock Rambo.

This is a very IG lineup, and the offensive firepower is not weak.

But SSG did not back down at all. On the counter position, CuVee asked his teammates to lock Kenan, and he wanted to fight Rambo head-on.

It is not difficult for Kenan to fight Rambo.

CuVee is quite confident in his laning ability.

Although during the World Championship, TheShy's laning ability has been recognized by all opponents.

But SSG has never played against IG.

CuVee is also a confident person, he doesn't think he is worse than TheShy.

At this point, the BP of both parties ends.

IG (blue side): Rambo, Barrel, Kassadin, Xia, Luo.

SSG (red side): Kenan, Prince, Rock Sparrow, Small Cannon, Gem.

The war is about to break out, carrying the only hope of LPL, IG has no way out.
