Old Mi's remarks at the end of the set of best-of-five matches between God and MLG caused a lot of heated discussion among League of Legends players after the match.
This was especially true for the players from the other servers. Old Mi's remarks were unceremoniously mocking and criticizing.
Many players and netizens from the other divisions thought that the official commentator of the LPL division was too arrogant. More people mocked the commentator's words.
"Three out of the top four?"
"Come on, this Chinese commentator's brain is just like his name, Rice. Is it filled with rice? Can't he be a little more normal?"
"To be able to occupy three spots in the top eight, there's already an element of luck involved. The remaining teams in the quarterfinals are all top-tier teams. Where did this guy get the confidence to think that the other two teams other than God would be able to defeat their opponents?"
"That's right. God- Hand of God did a great job. Their performance was amazing, but that doesn't mean that the other two teams in the LPL are at the same level."
"One of them is the first seed of the LPL, and they just happened to meet an opponent that they completely defeated. That's why they were able to play so smoothly. The other two seeds and the third seeds are not weak either."
"Hahaha, anyway, this commentator has already said his big words. If the remaining two teams in the LPL are eliminated, let's see how he ends up getting slapped in the face."
In fact, it wasn't just the players from the other servers. Even the players from the Chinese server had a rather cautious attitude towards Old Mi's remarks.
Of course.
From a psychological point of view, they were definitely the same as this commentator. They could not wait for their LPL division to achieve the magnificent feat of occupying three of the top four spots.
But this kind of words … It was better to keep it to themselves.
If they really said it out loud, and everything had not been done yet, what if they became a "toxic healer"? Wouldn't they be laughed at?
Although the players from the Chinese server were confident in their own LPL teams, they were still very clear about the current situation.
Team God had indeed played to their heart's content today, and they had gained a lot of prestige and prestige.
But this group's victory was already expected.
Unlike the other two groups —
If one were to categorize the difficulty, God's group should be the easiest and most stable. The remaining groups, be it KG versus Fate or Rapid Water versus Legend, would be far more difficult to defeat than the first group.
If KG fought against Fate, the odds of him winning would be fifty-fifty.
As for Quick Water's side … if they were to meet the veteran European overlord, Legend, they would at most have a 30% chance of winning, and that would already be ideal.
There was another thing that the Chinese players and netizens were worried about. Since the announcement had already been made, their remaining two teams had yet to officially compete. Would it cause any psychological pressure and burden before the competition?
If this affected the performance of the team members, it would really be self-defeating.
…
Old Mi was also aware of this. When the LPL team returned to the hotel from the Pullman venue that night, Old Mi purposely made a special trip to look for KG and Quick Water to apologize to the coaches and team leaders. He regretted that he had blurted out those words on the commentary platform out of excitement. He was worried that it would affect and burden the team members.
On the other hand, the coaches and team leaders of KG's club expressed their understanding. They even comforted and reassured Old Mi, telling him not to mind the criticism from the outside world. They also expressed that their own club would not be affected by such a small matter.
As for the members of Team KG, they were even more forthright in expressing their stance.
"Brother Mi, you don't have to worry about this."
"That's right, it's not a big deal!"
"Our KG has been through a lot. He won't give up just because of a little bit of pressure from the outside world. If he's going to be affected by this, then we should just quit playing professionally."
"Brother Mi isn't wrong. We're already aiming for the semifinals or even the finals."
"Even if the opponent is Fate, it doesn't matter. It's just a piece of sh * t!"
"That's right. Brother Mi is helping us to spread the word. Now, we're just waiting for you to fulfill your promise to the world."
"This year … we will definitely enter the top four!"
Everyone was united and full of fighting spirit.
Seeing the attitude and reaction of KG and the others, Old Mi finally felt a little relieved. However, he still felt a little guilty and apologetic. He looked around as if he had discovered something.
"By the way, where's Yuan Deity?"
Indeed, most of the members of KG Club were present. The only one missing was Tian Tian, the core and main top laner of the team.
Hearing this question, KG's team members exchanged glances with each other. Then, the mid laner, Demon Ghost, answered:
"Oh, he was just called away by Senior Number Three."
Old C, the jungler on the side, added, "He probably went to get special treatment."
At the same time …
In a room on the second floor of the hotel, two laptops were facing each other. Number Three and Tian Tian were sitting in front of the screens. Lin Feng was the only person in the room.
Number Three looked up at Tian Tian, who was sitting opposite him, and raised his eyebrows.
"You know what's going on between KG and Fate, right?"
Tian Tian nodded solemnly.
"Understood."
To be honest, out of the four groups in this year's Top 8 elimination round, the group between KG and Fate was the most evenly matched. It was hard to tell who was the better of the four.
Both teams were determined to get into the top four.
In a situation where the overall strength of both sides was difficult to determine, each side could only rely on the performance of their own core trump card.
Fate's Moon.
And KG's Tian Tian.
"If the ace players of both teams are matched, then it'll be convenient."
"You can just start from the lane and fight to see who's better."
"But that's not the case now."
"You're the top laner, and that kid called Moon is the mid laner."
"You've split up."
"That's why this competition isn't a head-on showdown. Simply put, it's a competition to see who can kill faster and roll the bigger snowball."
"And in this aspect, the requirements for you will definitely be higher —"
After saying that, Number Three glanced at Tian Tian again.
"If the two of you have the same advantage in each lane, what do you think are your chances of winning against Fate in the middle and late stages of the team battles and operations?"
Tian Tian's expression was solemn as he shook his head.
"They must be stronger."
Yes.
This was indisputable, because Fate's strength lay in the mid to late game. Moon, who was known as "Moon Emperor", was much better at controlling the situation in the mid to late game than him, the so-called world's number one top laner.
Number Three nodded.
"So, if you want to win, you need to snowball your top laner in the early game."
"My requirement for you … is to fight fiercely and fiercely in the early game."
"Of course, you've improved a lot recently, but it's still not enough. You're still lacking something."
"So —"
As he said that, Number Three patted the table in front of him with a calm demeanor.
"Tonight."
"Let's practice this."
