In the second BO5 match of the quarter-finals, the European fans' enthusiastic cheers did not help FNC advance in their home ground.
FPX overcame their disadvantage in the group stage. Relying on perfect teamwork and the unique Nakano Enigma combo, they easily defeated FNC in their home ground and clinched the second spot in the semi-finals.
Following RNG last year, FNC also laughed their way to S10 this year.
Once again, it was time for the popular post-match face-slapping segment. During the draw for the elimination round, FNC's members sang and danced in the hotel room. After the match ended, they were immediately dragged out and whipped.
The first match of the quarter-finals was over. The two LPL teams, IG and FPX, from the right half of the bracket, had successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Both teams would be fighting for a spot in the finals.
After watching the match, Jin Zhengxun sighed. "This FPX team is really good. Their combo rhythm is great. They are really a strong team."
Li Xu: "Are they playing dead in the group stage? The difference is too big. It doesn't seem like they are the same team. "
Mata nodded. "We played against them in the mock competition, but their rhythm was not as tight and smooth. It was different in the actual match."
Jin Zhengxun: "Oh right, Li Xu, go and call Assistant Cui. It's time for dinner."
"I'm not going. Let Li Ge do it."
Li Xu lay on the ground and started to play dead.
She was so angry just now that she thought I was a pervert. It would be so awkward to meet her face to face.
… …
October 27th, sunny day.
At around noon, SKT arrived at the competition venue. SKT would be fighting in the first match of the quarter-finals.
Outside Vista Alegre Palace, two iconic bronze bull statues stood on the left and right. The 20-meter-high spiral-shaped outer wall was slightly mottled, telling the story of the palace's history as a bullfighting arena.
Since bullfighting was indeed too bloody, there weren't many bullfights held in Vista Algre Palace every year. Except for the end of April and the beginning of May, the roof of Vista Algre Palace would be raised and used as a venue for public performances.
Guapi fans from the barbeque stall walked up the stairs and looked at the iconic red and white outer wall of the bullfighting arena with great interest.
Teddy: "Wow! Look at the glass on the wall, it's all slanted. "
Clid: "I didn't think so when I watched the game yesterday, but it looks more like a circular bullring from the outside."
Li Xu: "If only I could play in a place like the Bernabéu."
Li Ge: "Stop dreaming. We don't need such a big venue in Europe."
In Europe, other than football, there was almost no other sport that could fill the 80,000-seat Bernabéu.
Apart from Belgium's Yang Kun Azar being ridiculed by fans for holding a concert at the Bernabéu, Bernabéu rarely held activities other than football matches.
Li Xu curled his lips. "Next year's S Competition will be held in China. The venue will definitely be huge."
Li Ge was a little melancholy. "Then don't become a freeloader next year. You won't even be able to participate in the international competition then."
He still remembered that Blank, who was full of intelligence two years ago, became a freeloader last year and pushed him out of the international competition in South Korea.
Li Xu patted Guapi's shoulder and comforted him. "Li Ge, don't worry. Even if you become a freeloader, I won't freeload."
Li Ge replied with a death stare.
… …
It was almost one o 'clock in the afternoon, and the atmosphere in the stadium was getting more and more heated. Li Xu, who walked out of the lounge, could faintly hear the loud cheers coming from the stadium backstage.
Under the influence of the fanatical football atmosphere, the European audience's cheers were naturally not small.
Although the Guapi fans from the barbeque stall were already mentally prepared after watching FNC's game yesterday, the new players of the international competition were still a little unaccustomed to the scene that was obviously much bigger than the Lolpark stadium.
With the appearance of the host, the atmosphere in the stadium became more and more intense. The players from both sides backstage were also preparing to enter the stadium.
The European commentators in the stadium were already excited.
Daniel said, "Wow! The atmosphere in the stadium is great. Although their opponent is SKT, there is no doubt that Splyce has received an overwhelming amount of support on their home ground. Although Fnatic lost the game yesterday, the enthusiasm of the audience has not diminished. Today, we still have the tenacious Splyce and the king of Europe, G2. "
Drakos: "With this kind of support, I even have a glimmer of hope that Splyce can give us a surprise. Go Splyce! "
The European commentators were frantically cheering for SPY, while the LCS commentators could not wait for LEC's team to explode on the spot.
Azael said, "The atmosphere in the stadium in Madrid is very lively, but can the European teams really make up for the huge gap in strength and hinder SKT? I don't have high hopes. "
DoubleLift said, "There is no doubt that SKT will win the match 3-0. We have played mock matches with both teams. SPY is like a bubble that will burst at the slightest touch in front of SKT. Even Perkz's G2, who is on Twitter with me every day, could not stop SKT's progress. I don't think SPY will be a problem for SKT."
Sitting in the commentator's seat, the big senior brother had completely let go of his ego. He was only one step away from calling SPY trash.
Under the signal of the staff, Li Xu took the lead and walked out of the entrance.
The venue for the semifinals was obviously much bigger than the group stage. The ring-shaped venue was filled with a black mass of spectators. Countless lit up SPY support boards and bright yellow inflatable sticks were obviously more than SKT's red ones.
After the introduction of SKT's players by the host, it was time for SPY's players to enter the stadium.
The scene suddenly erupted with a tsunami of shouts and cheers.
Although there were fans cheering for SKT's players when they were introducing them, the difference between before and after was very big.
Obviously, even though SKT was the winner of the Triple Championship, the European fans were using this method to tell them:
This is the home ground of Europe.
Li Xu curled his lips.
'You guys are cheering so much now, but don't cry later.'
For the LPL broadcast, Remember, Rita, and Wang Duoduo were commentating the match live.
Remember: "Hello everyone, I remember."
Rita: "Hello everyone, I'm Rita."
Wang Duoduo: "I'm Wang Duoduo."
Remember: "Today, the three of us will be commentating the match live at Vestal Allegre Palace. I don't know if everyone can hear us live, but there are a lot of European fans cheering for their team, the European snake team, SPY. Let's see if SPY can create a miracle amidst the cheers of the home crowd."
"SKT, go for the ducks! Go for it, Xu Ge! "
"Guapi, Guapi, Guapi, Guapi!"
"Why isn't the Senior Colonel here? I want to see the Senior Colonel brag about Li Xu. "
"SKT, go for the granddaddy! Beat them to shut up. "
"Hurry up and watch the second huya channel, GHS is openly skirting the boundaries."
"Forget it, it's just lulu legs, there's nothing to see."
"Seconded, that long legs in black stockings annoys me, I lost interest after watching for ten minutes."
"6666, you watched for ten minutes?"
"The Sage is full of confidence."
