The next day.
It was also the last day of the quarterfinals of the finals.
The final set of best-of-five matches between Team Quick Water and Team Legend would begin today.
After watching God- Hand of God's domineering sweep of MLG, witnessing the intense battle between KG and Fate, and witnessing the thrilling five matches between SSK and Season, it seemed like the final set of best-of-five matches would be a little more ordinary. However —
That did not stop the majority of Chinese players from having great expectations and enthusiasm for the final set of best-of-five matches.
Because in this group, there were still teams from their LPL division participating in the battle.
After three days of intense battles, the first and second seeds of their division had firmly advanced to the semifinals. In fact, they had already created the best record in the history of the LPL division. However …
If Quick Water could defeat Legend today …
In that case, this year's S6 finals would undoubtedly become a grand carnival that belonged purely to the LPL players!
Three of the semifinals?
A few years ago, even if it was just a few months or a few days ago, this was something that almost no local server player dared to dream of.
However, the reality was that the three Chinese teams were slowly, step by step, moving toward this almost dream-like goal.
Now, they had already achieved two-thirds of it.
They were really only missing one piece of the puzzle, and it would be complete!
"Three of the semifinals … Damn, it's like the three LPL teams are ganging up on SSK in the semifinals!"
"Three of the Heroes versus Lü Bu?!"
Some of the players on the local server exclaimed in surprise.
Speaking of which, in the history of the Three Heroes versus Lü Bu, it was the Three Heroes of Liu, Guan, and Zhang who won.
No matter how strong SSK was.
But this year, as long as the three LPL teams worked together, they would definitely have a huge chance of winning!
…
9 AM sharp.
In the Pullman Conference Hall, the atmosphere in the bustling competition venue was once again lively and noisy.
Quick Water's team members were already preparing to go on stage. The other members of KG and God's team also rushed over to cheer them on.
Huangxue Nightsong stood beside Morning Star, glanced at his old friend, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?
"Yesterday —"
"What did Maple tell you?"
Morning Star paused for a moment, then shook his head, his expression as calm as ever.
"It's nothing."
While the two of them were conversing in hushed tones, the other members of God and KG were surrounding the Speedwater brothers, slapping their shoulders and thumping their chests.
"Sigh, it's all up to you guys today!"
"Are you nervous?"
"I've helped you practice enough these few days, so there's no need to be nervous! Just go all out and fight! "
"That's right. Just play in the same state as we did during training last night. There won't be any problems!"
Soon, it was time to go on stage.
Shi Hang walked over. Lin Feng, Wildsnow Nightsong, Morning Star, Tian Tian, and Li Shiyi looked at him.
"Good luck."
"Today … let's give it a try!"
Shi Hang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "That's for sure! Win or lose, it's already a win if we can make it to the quarterfinals. Next … let's make it big with Legend! "
Immediately after, he waved goodbye to Lin Feng and the others, and strode towards the stage with the other members of his team.
Watching Shi Hang's back, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually faded.
Wildsnow Nightsong looked around.
"What do you guys think?"
"Today's group?"
Tian Tian shook his head with a grave expression. "Difficult."
Ceng Rui nodded.
"Very difficult."
Li Shiyi looked at the stage with a worried expression. "It still depends on Old Shi and Phoenix's mid lane. Otherwise … there's not much of a chance of winning."
Yes.
Although the cheering at the start was quite intense.
But everyone knew in their hearts that today's set of 'best-of-five' was really not going to be easy.
Although God and KG had won the quarterfinals two days ago, their victories didn't mean that Quick Water could do it easily. After all, in terms of overall strength, there was still a certain objective gap between Quick Water and the real top veteran teams, and this gap couldn't be easily made up for with confidence and morale.
Of course, now that Quick Water had the support of Shadow Puppet in the bottom lane, it supplemented a very important part of the team's overall combat strength. But overall, as the top European team, Legend still had a solid advantage over Quick Water in almost every aspect.
It was similar to when they met MLG in the group stage.
And at that time …
Quick Water lost to MLG twice in a row.
Looking at it this way, today's set of 'best-of-five' was even more worrying.
Morning Star let out a light sigh of relief and shook his head.
"We've done what we can. The rest can only depend on Quick Water's own performance.
"Next … just cheer for them.
"And, if it's Old Shi, his faith is very strong —"
"It's not impossible to create a miracle."
Everyone nodded slightly.
Although Shi Hang, as the captain of Quick Water, had always been laughing and joking when talking about today's big battle, everyone knew very well that deep in his heart, their friend had an incomparably strong desire to win this group of the quarterfinals.
Sometimes, faith could really create miracles.
At least —
Now that they were off the stage, they could only hope so.
…
The last set of 'best-of-five' finally began.
The first match.
In the BAN round, the blue team Quick Water was in the midst of the cheers and applause of the audience. Shi Hang locked on to the single Enchantress in his hand.
In this year's finals, the frequency of appearances of Crafty Enchantress Lefran was not low.
Moreover, in the hands of those top-notch mid-laners, they had indeed displayed a stunning and impressive style of play.
But this time …
In reality, Phoenix was on the weaker side, but when facing Europe's number one Wizard and the third of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), Phoenix still chose an AP Assassin hero that relied purely on mechanical skills and offensive abilities. From this, one could easily feel the player's courage and determination.
"No matter what, as long as Addisi dared to choose Enchantress in the face of Phoenix, at least in terms of mentality, he is no longer at a disadvantage!"
On the China commentary platform, Old Mi solemnly gave such a praise.
At the same time.
On the stage, in the Legend team arena.
In front of the computer screen, Phoenix looked at the blue team's chosen Enchantress Lefran. His face was calm and his eyes were shining.
Soon.
The purple team's hero was confirmed.
Future Guardian Jess!
