League of Competitive Era

Chapter 224 The Quarterfinals Begin

On the second day of the holiday, everyone in RT stopped training because today is the CLG game.

New York National Stadium.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the entire city was illuminated by neon lights, highlighting the prosperity of the city.

In the second round of the quarterfinals, CLG will play against SM.

The ones in charge of explaining are still the little frog and rice noodles.

"Today's game is full of highlights. The two sides are SM and CLG. This is the third time they have played against each other. If this is not fate, what is it?"

An exaggerated smile appeared on the little frog's face.

"That's true. Before, their record was one to one. Now, in this quarter-finals, it's just a matter of winning and losing. The winner will advance, and the loser will go home directly."

"And this is the first game of the LPL quarterfinals. If CLG can win, it can give some confidence to the teams behind."

"Without further ado, let's get into the pre-game declaration..."

The quarter-finals had a more sense of ritual than before. Before the game, a pre-match declaration link was added, which is what we often call the talk talk session.

However, after the entire declaration link was over, Chen Mo curled his lips.

Whether it's SM or CLG, the players on both sides are too reserved, and there is no such thing as such sarcasm.

"These people are too timid. If you want me to say, you can lose the game, but you can't lose the flirt."

The teammate next to him rolled his eyes, do you think everyone is like you?

After a round of BP, the battle started quickly.

I have played against each other twice, so both sides have a little understanding, and the BP of both teams is very important.

CLG chose an early-stage lineup. After training with RT for a long time, their style gradually tended to fight.

SM's lineup is very stable, and they are determined to fight you in the late game. Once the two heroes, Clockwork and Mouse, are taken, their combat effectiveness is very weak before the three-piece suit comes out.

SM also knows where the advantages of their lineup are. They don't fight with you at all in the early stage, and give up some resources directly.

In the end, the game was dragged to the later stage by SM. The injured Chongzhang and Mouse sent out explosive output in the team battle.

Finally, at 45 minutes, SM won the Baron and directly flattened CLG's crystal.

In the second game, CLG learned a lesson and chose a late-stage lineup, which made the game very boring. The two sides had been farming the economy in the early stage. After four or 10 minutes, Li Heguo broke the team and disabled SM's double C. CLG took advantage of the situation and took it away.

The two sides played one to one.

Although CLG won, Chen Mo below the stage frowned.

In these two games, CLG felt like being held back.

The first game had an advantage, but they didn't know what to do. The same was true for the second game. In other words, CLG couldn't operate.

After pushing all the outer towers on the opposite side, the only way to go to the high ground is to fight the dragon, and there will be absolutely no operations such as division.

In fact, many LPL teams are like this. Even if they have an advantage in the early stage, as time goes by, the advantage not only does not increase, but becomes less and less.

The same goes for the third game.

In the laning phase, Li He single-handedly killed the opponent's mid laner and had a huge advantage in the mid lane, but the SM team showed their tenacity and dragged to Liushenzhuang despite a huge disadvantage.

Until this time, SM had only broken the high ground all the way. CLG and others found that they didn't know what to do except clear the line and clear the wild.

After dragging to the same equipment, CLG's pent-up anger suddenly vented. On the other hand, SM, the bigger the better, the better.

The final result was not what Chen Mo expected, SM seized the opportunity, took advantage of the confrontation between the two sides in the middle, and decisively broke the team, and finally played a zero for five.

Looking at the word "group annihilation" rising on the screen, Mi Fan was stunned.

"Economy leading by more than 1 can be overturned?"

He has already thought about how to congratulate CLG, but now it seems that he may not have a chance to say it.

"I don't know what happened. CLG was very confused in the later stage. They obviously crushed their opponents online."

Little Frog also found a huge flaw in CLG.

It's just that the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. Chen Mo and the commentator both understand, but CLG doesn't understand.

The audience at the scene suddenly became excited, 2:1, their team won the match point, as long as they win another round, they can advance to the semi-finals smoothly.

Under the double pressure of LPL and LCK, no team from the North American Division has entered the semi-finals for a long time. Today, they see hope.

The final game began quickly, with players from both sides taking the field again.

It's just that several members of CLG looked a little confused, and Li Hyuk frowned, looking very nervous.

This is the most critical round, and for a rookie, nervousness is inevitable.

It's just... the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes!
Chen Mo off the stage shook his head. Before the fourth game started, CLG had already lost by three points.

On the contrary, SM's players seemed confident of winning. They were all chatting and laughing, and seemed to take victory as something in their pocket.

The competition started soon, and under the nervousness, Li He gave up.

SM's mid laner strength is not very strong, even a bit pitted, and there will always be some inexplicable operations on the field.

Li He was completely crushable against him, but in this crucial game, he was a little afraid to operate.

Originally, they could kill opponents individually, but they evolved into mutual development, which puzzled the audience.

"Li He is being taken away by others? You are playing a demon girl, why do you love the clockwork on the other side?"

"Playing the enchantress as a brush hero is playing snake."

"This is definitely the most cowardly enchantress in the world competition, and she was even overwhelmed by the opponent's mid laner."

The barrage expressed puzzlement in various ways, wishing to pull Li He down and go into battle by himself.

Li He himself was also a little confused, and told him rationally, he could step forward and hit, and he could immediately wind up the clockwork.

But when he was about to start, he began to doubt.

Is the opposing mid laner next to me? If I die, will the team lose the game?

What if I was hit by a clockwork, if I was killed by him, wouldn't the middle lane be blown up?
Forget it, the key game is over, let's be more on the safe side.

Various thoughts circulated in his mind, and the idea of ​​going up to operate was gradually dispelled, and he convinced himself like this.

The consequence of peaceful development is that the clockwork is very comfortable. Until 10 minutes, he didn't die once, and even went to the bottom lane to mess up two heads.

Chen Mo's enchantress should have wandered around, but she didn't do anything.

In the end, the match was fixed at 38 minutes, and the five players of SM forced the group. In the narrow position of the Dragon Pit, Clockwork hit three players with a big move, and the damage from the explosion poured out instantly.

Li He wanted to face AD ​​in seconds, but it was a pity that the damage was not enough. The hero Yao Ji didn't have an advantage in the early stage, and it was very useless in the later stage.

In a wave of zero-for-five, SM directly pushed away CLG's crystal in the middle.

"Let's congratulate SM!"

The voice of the North American commentary resounded throughout the venue, and the cheers of the audience followed.

At the same time, CLG and others lowered their heads and looked at the computer screen with frustration.

Winners cheer loudly, losers hang their heads down, this is e-sports.
