On October 15th, SKT welcomed their third opponent in the group stage, CG. It was also the last match of the first round of the group stage.
For this match, the entire SKT team was full of fighting spirit.
This year, SKT's fighting prowess was astonishing. It could be said that everyone was afraid of them. Everyone was at a disadvantage when facing SKT.
Even G2, the king of verbal attacks, started to admit defeat on social media after being beaten by SKT in MSI.
Under such circumstances, Huni actually boasted in North America that he would beat SKT's mid and mid laner, and even let his coach scold SKT's players until they cried.
It seemed that this little fatty, who dared to ignore Brother Li's gaze, had become a little arrogant in the North American fish pond.
It was time for Huni to calm down.
However, before SKT could act to calm their opponents down, Huni's teammates had already calmed down. After being beaten by FNC and RNG in the beginning of the match, they had no choice but to calm down when they met SKT, who had beaten those two teams.
CG's mid laner, Damonte, said in a short video interview before the match:
"All the fans' expectations for CG are that we'll be eliminated 0-6. We're used to competing in this kind of public opinion because we've never been favored on the international stage. Especially when we're up against SKT, no one really thought we'd win. However, this is our advantage. We have nothing to lose, and there's no pressure during the competition. Who knows, maybe we'll give our opponents a surprise?"
Although this statement was forced to express their fighting spirit, at least it was much more low-key than Huni's boasting about beating SKT's mid and mid laner.
The commentary for this match was co-hosted by Ze Yuan and Miller. At the same time, they had invited former professional player Shang Guo as a guest commentator.
After the short video of the match ended, the broadcast entered the screen. Both teams were adjusting their equipment.
Miller: "Alright, welcome back, my friends. We're now on the fourth day of the group stage. In the BO1 match that just ended, our LPL team, RNG, defeated FNC. Our first round score is 2-1, and we're in the lead in the group stage. The match between SKT and CG will be starting soon."
Ze Yuan: "After watching the short video just now, CG's fans' goal seems to be half achieved after today. Based on CG's performance so far, it'll be difficult for them to win even one match in this group. 0-6 is not a dream."
Xiang Guo: "I watched the match before the cinematics, and I felt that something was off."
Miller: "This team is really something. You can see the signs from the qualifiers. Everyone can play C, but everyone can pull. Especially after they entered the group stage, basically everyone was pulling."
Ze Yuan: "I watched all the matches in the preliminary round. This team has never had all five members perform well at the same time. Even if three of them perform well, the other two brothers will definitely drag them down and take turns to screw over their teammates.
During the qualifiers, their opponents were limited, and they were still able to make it through. But once they enter the group stage, they won't be able to do so. This team's mid-game rhythm is too bad. I feel that it will be very difficult to win a match against these three opponents. "
Coincidentally, the camera panned to the scene of Huni and the jungler Lira chatting and laughing with each other. Beside them, Damonte suddenly tilted his head and stared at the two brothers.
Miller said, "Huni's expression is still very happy. Losing the first two games didn't affect his mood much."
Ze Yuan: "It doesn't matter if he wins or loses, as long as he's happy. Look at those heroes he's using, he's very happy. Sigh! Look at the way the mid laner is looking at them. Can you two stop laughing and be more normal? "
Miller: "In the first two games, the two brothers from CG's jungler led the way. In this game against SKT, this jungler will probably be beaten to a pulp. SKT's mid laner is too good."
"Huni: What's wrong with me laughing? I'm going to get beaten up later. Can't I laugh first? "
"Hu Bilie, get ready. Li Xu is coming!"
"Huni is really happy. Every time he leads the way with the advantage. It feels like he doesn't care about winning or losing."
"Brother Li loves to beat up his old teammates. Won't Hu Bilie split open today?"
"Based on what Miller said, RNG2-1 is in the lead? SKT is 3-0 after the game. What do you mean? Do you expect SKT to fail? "
"Anyway, SKT will definitely qualify. Of course, RNG has to be compared to FNC. Currently, they are in the lead."
"Every time the host says this, I feel like something bad is going to happen."
… ….
Ze Yuan: "No matter what, although we don't have high hopes for CG, they have to fight their way through the competition. Let's see if CG can overcome SKT today."
Miller: "Senior Colonel, why are you suddenly so conservative? You were the one who started to criticize CG just now. "
Ze Yuan: "Aiya! Didn't I just realize it? Even 'Ten Zero' failed. I thought that it wasn't a good idea to criticize CG just now. What if something happens to SKT? Am I right? "
Miller: "That may be the case, but SKT will definitely go all out in this match. Huni said that he would beat Li Jiu up before the World Championship. Li Jiu is such a vengeful person, wouldn't he beat you to death?"
Ze Yuan: "Don't forget, SKT has Brother Li who specializes in beating up their old teammates. Everyone from SKT who goes up against Brother Li usually ends up in a bad state. Let's see if Huni can still laugh after this match."
"Li Jiu is such a vengeful person. Miller knows that very well."
"Haha! Li Xu is vengeful and petty. Everyone knows that. "
"Brother Li is awesome. His good name is known far and wide."
"Li Xu punches people who give him likes. Huni is already attacking his face. Why isn't Li Xu punching Huni?"
"Li Xu specializes in beating up his old teammates. Guapi specializes in beating up his old teammates. Won't these two crush Hu Bumey?"
"Brother Li is really happy to kill his teammates, whether it's the current or the former."
"Guapi: I like beating up my old teammates. I don't even play mid laner anymore. I'm going to beat up my old teammates."
"Too bad Bang didn't come to the World Championship. Otherwise, it would be more interesting."
"Let's see if Huni can still laugh after the match. Ze Yuan is targeting me, Hu Bawan."
… ….
SKT's team voice chat was very relaxed every time they were adjusting the equipment.
At this time, Li Xu was sitting on the stage listening to his teammates' nonsense. He was a little distracted. His left and right index fingers were on the S and B keys, respectively.
"Li Xu, why aren't you saying anything?"
Teddy was puzzled. Li Xu was usually the one who took the lead to liven up the atmosphere (attract aggro). Why was he so quiet today?
Li Xu came back to his senses and joked, "I'm thinking about who I'll be facing in the knockout round."
Brother Li: "We've only played two rounds in the group stage and you're already thinking about the knockout round?"
Li Xu shook his head. "I don't care. I'll make it to the finals. Give me your best. Don't hold me back."
Everyone: "…"
I've made an appointment with Lin Yuqing. She'll be watching me in the finals.
Li Xu stretched his back.
Now, let's warm up by beating up Huni.
