A week before the start of the S Tournament, Y's team arrived in Country H.
Country H was the same as the host country of the mid-season tournament. It was a country that advocated Western food, and it was a country that especially liked cheese.
It was okay to eat cheese once or twice, but it was inevitable that one would get sick of it after eating it too many times.
What was worse was that no one in their team liked to eat cheese.
For them who liked to eat Chinese food, cheese was not a strength, but a disaster.
In the first few days, Y's team could still force themselves to eat Western food, but after a long time, everyone had more or less physiological disgust. At this time, a kind-hearted fan sent over a jar of Lao Gan Ma, directly saving Y's team.
Especially Ah Mu, who directly said that this fan was as beautiful as a fairy.
Fei Xu used a spoon to spread the Lao Gan Ma on the bread while rolling her eyes and saying, "You didn't even see what she looked like, and you said she was a fairy. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Ah Mu happily ate the Lao Gan Ma pasta, rolled his eyes at Fei Xu, and said, "As long as you give me Lao Gan Ma, no matter what she looks like, she's a fairy."
Fei Xu: "Shallow, at least give me a bowl of instant noodles."
After eating Western food for a few days, even instant noodles became delicacies. Fei Xu expressed that she strongly urged China to hold the S Tournament.
After seeing her team members instantly become bootlickers because of a bottle of Lao Gan Ma, Jiujiu knew that it could not continue.
Jiujiu strongly suspected that if this continued, even if someone put laxatives in the Lao Gan Ma, her team members would be especially happy and eat it all bite by bite.
Jiujiu contacted Brother Wang and asked him to help her in the kitchen, and she began to be a cook again.
When they ate the familiar Chinese food again, and it was Chinese food personally made by Jiujiu, Fei Xu and Ah Mu were so touched that they almost cried.
Fei Xu ate while saying in her heart, 'Even if I don't want this hand of mine, I still want to help Sister Yunhuai and Mo Jinghao get married.'
'I've already reserved the champion of this S Tournament for you.'
After the S Tournament started, there was a big upset.
The defending champion of last year's S Tournament had started with a 2-0 start. It couldn't have been more miserable.
Last year, they were still the kings of LCK. This year, they were defeated by two European and American teams. This was truly a shock to everyone.
Of course, compared to the LCK champions' 2-0 start, Team Y's progress was much smoother.
This time, they didn't know if it was because of Ah Mu and Flying Xu's prayers, but when they were divided into teams, they were assigned to the weakest team. It could be said that in this team, they were the kings.
Basically, as long as they didn't mess around, they would definitely be able to advance to the finals.
The group stage ended very quickly. What made everyone's jaws drop was that last year's defending champion, the second seed of LCK, was eliminated in the first round of the group stage. No one had expected this.
After the group matches, it was time for the semifinals.
Y's team this time was the second seeded team from Europe and America, Team TN.
Team TN was known as a miraculous team.
Their miraculous part was that they would enter the international competition every year. Every year, they would leave the international competition as one of the top eight teams. From the start of the S Tournament until now, there had been no exceptions.
Therefore, they were jokingly called the flowing champions, the iron-made top eight TN.
This time, after seeing that Y had drawn Team TN, even before the competition started, the domestic fans were laughing as if they had already seen Y enter the semifinals.
Of course, TN didn't disappoint the domestic fans. They were cleanly defeated by Team Y with a 3-0, and once again advanced to the semifinals.
Y's semifinals opponent was also quickly announced. LCK's first seed, Team HC.
Team HC was a team that was known as the Demon King. The S Tournament had been held seven times, and they had won three of them. Their mid laner was also known as Team HC's anchor.
The domestic fans who were still celebrating suddenly quieted down after seeing that their opponent was Team HC.
Even if Y's performance in the country was extremely hot, and they hadn't even tasted defeat in the international competition, against Team HC, even if the two hadn't fought before, they still felt that Y's chances of winning weren't very high. They might even have a 3-7 chance.
And this' 3 'referred to Team Y.
After drawing Team HC, Jiujiu immediately stopped cooking and studied Team HC again.
Of course, this time she also studied the videos of Team HC defeating their top eight opponents in the semifinals. She wanted to see some things from them.
Of course, hard work paid off, and Jiujiu did see some things.
In the semifinals of Team Y, both domestic and international, everyone paid special attention.
One was this year's rising star, Y, who only used a year to win all the championships they could have won this year. The other team, although they didn't win LCK's Spring Tournament this year, won the Summer Tournament, and entered the S Tournament with a strong momentum. Just like Y, they were HC, who had never tasted defeat.
The strength of the two teams was really hard to determine.
This was bound to be a fierce battle just like the finals.
Because the two teams had never fought against each other before, the first match was to test each other's strength.
The first match ended with Team HC's victory.
However, because it was only the first match, even if Y lost, the domestic and foreign fans were still relatively calm.
After all, the competition was ever-changing. Losing two to three was something that had happened before, let alone one to three.
As for Y's strength, the domestic fans were incomparably confident.
Sure enough, in the second match, Y won exceptionally easily.
In the third match, although Y won with more difficulty, they still won.
In the fourth match, Team Y won two matches in a row and played with confidence, so they were in a particularly relaxed state. On the other hand, Team HC lost two matches in a row, and all the members' faces were particularly solemn. Moreover, because the other two LCK teams were still eliminated, as the last seedling in the LCK region and the last hope of the entire village, Team HC could only win this match.
In this match, Team HC was extra careful, trying hard not to make any mistakes.
Both teams developed cautiously and peacefully until 20 minutes later, when a rather intense team battle broke out.
The cause of the incident was the Fire Dragon.
Originally, both teams had a tacit understanding not to fight the Fire Dragon, but Lu Wei felt that if they continued to develop peacefully, they would definitely go crazy and reveal their flaws. Therefore, in order to prevent themselves from revealing their flaws and being caught by the other team, Lu Wei chose to fight the Fire Dragon directly, forcing the other team to fight with them.
