The S5 Global Finals began, and so did the LPL disaster.
In the first week of the competition, LGD lost all of their matches and did not ban the bugged hero, Steel Dude.
"Only a theoretical possibility of qualifying is left." Many people had only heard such a sentence in the National Football League.
In the second week of the competition, LGD was eliminated, and GodV was still being criticized because of his reverse Q.
IG was also eliminated in the group stage, leaving EDG, who was beaten by SKT, to enter the top eight and become the hope of the entire village.
On the eve of the top eight, EDG's manager, Third Young Master, taunted his opponent, FNC: "Nice sidingle." (You're dead meat.)
In the end, in the top eight, Mr. Dai played tricks in the first round, sending Jayce's strategy into his own trap, and Jin Chuandeng's reputation spread far and wide.
In the second round, FNC gave Steel Dude to EDG. FNC's late lineup gained the upper hand against EDG's early lineup, but a bug appeared in the match, and both sides agreed to a rematch.
When the match restarted, EDG was beaten again and was eliminated with a score of 3: 0.
Including the rematch, EDG was defeated by FNC, and was even beaten with a score of 4: 0.
At this point, LPL was sent home by the "European idiots", ending S5's journey.
After the S5 Finals, LPL fans could not stand such an ending. LGD was the first to bear the brunt of it, and they were scolded the most. GodV's arrow flew directly to S6, and at the same time, the optimistic family was announced.
LPL's golden fifth mid laner, which was ranked above Faker, was wildly ridiculed by foreign netizens.
Throughout the entire season, every LPL fan wanted to be immersed in that spring, and did not want to wake up. However, in the fall, LCK gave LPL a tight slap.
Coach Kim Jong Un had already informed his team members to focus on training and not participate too much. Moreover, SKT did not broadcast before the finals.
However, while the team members were alert, the fans were not. Their own team was so good, why would they not brag about it?
Li Xu was naturally aware of the heated discussions on the Internet, and he even enjoyed reading the discussions of the netizens.
There were so many posts bragging about themselves that Li Xu's face turned red. However, wasn't it the pride of a pro player to give his fans something to brag about?
Only by performing at their best would they be worthy of their fans' praise. They would try their best not to disappoint their fans.
If a pro player couldn't even see his own fans, then he wouldn't be able to brag even if he wanted to. That would be a sad thing.
Perhaps it was for the sake of the show's effect, but the LCK hosts had split their predictions into two camps. SKT had a clear advantage in terms of support for both teams.
Other than Han Wenliu's legendary support, Madlife, who favored GRF to win the championship, the other hosts all favored SKT to defeat Griffin and win the championship trophy.
On the other hand, Chinese Streamer was in a bit of a predicament. Initially, most of the commentators thought that SKT would be able to defeat GRF and claim their seventh championship trophy.
However, after commentator Ze Yuan declared that SKT would beat GRF with a score of 3: 0, the tide changed. Those who predicted SKT's victory were silent, while those who predicted Griffin's victory were grateful to the Senior Colonel for his help.
Senior Colonel Guan's poison healer skills were truly profound. He had just proven himself a few days ago.
In the LPL playoffs on the 5th of April, many people thought that EDG was obviously stronger than SDG. Defeating SDG should not be a problem for them.
Senior Colonel Guan had personally predicted that EDG would sweep SDG with a score of 3: 0. In the end, EDG was cleanly defeated by SDG with a score of 3: 0. His ability to jinx was admirable.
Speaking of which, Senior Colonel Guan's jinx had a long history. The most famous one was probably last year's 10: 0 prediction.
At that time, KZ was so strong that they were practically a replica of SSW.
However, everyone knew the outcome. KZ lost to RNG like a broken arm. After that, KZ, who was invincible in the LCK Spring Season, was unable to recover from the setback. Furthermore, they were swept out of the tournament by Samsung in the bubble tournament and were unable to participate in the international tournament.
During the S7 Spring Season, Ze Yuan declared that he favored the S6 champion, VG Squad. That season, VG was directly relegated. Fortunately, VG made a comeback in the Summer Season after a bloodbath in LSPL.
However, during the drawing of lots for the S8 Spring Competition, the host asked Zeyuan which team he favored. Once again, Zeyuan expressed that he favored the newly promoted VG. After that, VG basically stayed in the bottom three throughout the year.
During the Summer Season draw, Ze Yuan expressed that he favored WE. In the end, WE finished last in the West.
In this year's Spring Season, Suning had brought in former Lightning Wolves mid laner Maple and support Snake, SMLZ, and Wolves. Ze Yuan immediately congratulated them and expressed that Suning had formed a Galactic Battleship and was very competitive.
After that, Suning started off with a four-match winning streak. In the end, they did not even make it into the Spring Season playoffs.
The key was that Ze Yuan's serious analysis made people feel that it was quite reasonable. He was not spouting nonsense, but the result was the exact opposite.
There were many different kinds of stories. Often, when Ze Yuan was commentating, he would say that a player was invincible and that the environment was so good that they would not die. Then, the main character would immediately die.
This time, when the Senior Colonel predicted that SKT would win the championship, the netizens expressed that SKT was already trembling in fear.
Was it Senior Colonel Guan's skill or was it SKT's skill that was better? This became a new hot topic.
As the Spring Season finals of the LCK were the first to start among the major leagues, everyone had their eyes on the upcoming LCK finals.
The LCS finals would be held one day after the LCK finals, on the 14th of April. Facing the North American cult team TSM, who had not entered the finals for a long time, the Senior Brother was full of confidence. He said that his old team would not be able to withstand a single blow. He was already researching his opponents in MSI, hoping to meet Li Ge in MSI.
On the morning of the 15th of April, the finals of the LEC League would begin. Ah P had already tweeted that they would defeat OG and enter the MSI to seek revenge from IG. It was a pity that they did not have the chance to fight against Brother Li in the S League last year. This year, they hoped to meet SKT in MSI.
The more attention a match had, the easier it was to give off pressure. It was like an ordinary person playing in a small district football match. In front of a few spectators, they would be able to perform as they wished. However, in front of a hundred thousand spectators at Camp Nou, the average player would be easily nervous.
Even if the final match was held in the Silkworm Room Indoor Stadium, the tickets had already been sold out. There would still be more than ten thousand spectators.
In such an atmosphere, it was not surprising that the average new player would be nervous or unstable.
What kind of situation had Li Ge not been in? The eighty thousand spectators in the Bird's Nest had already experienced the final match. Naturally, no one would be worried. The same was true for MATA. Clid and Teddy were veteran players who had been in the game for more than two years.
In comparison, all the members of GRF had the experience of entering the Summer Season finals last year.
On the other hand, Li Xu was a new player who had only played professionally for a few months. Therefore, there were many comments on the internet that were worried about Li Xu's condition.
However, the entire SKT team was not worried about Li Xu's condition at all. Li Xu's carefree attitude did not seem like someone who would be nervous in a match.
