And what's more important is the leadership within the team.

Mata.

As the champion support of S4, he is currently the only player in the global finals to win FMVP as a support.

Even said.

LCK dominated the League of Legends after S5 and S6, and Mata took a huge credit for the prototype of many operational methods.

The linkage between him and Score's wild assistant was enough to give IG a headache in the early and mid-term.

On the other hand, look at IG.

Although Nosuke often did what he asked, Baolan passively accepted it. On the contrary, Li Nian and Rookie wandered around more.

If Ucal contained Rookie in the middle.

Then Li Nian will be unable to survive alone.

Kkoma briefly explained the player information. After all, when they were still in the LPL, they also played several training matches with KT.

Still win more and lose less.

in addition.

Smeb didn't suffer a lot online when facing Jiang Chenglu, and he had a very good habit.

steady!

Generally speaking, KT inherited the Korean operation, and at the same time found the answer to the current version. It focuses on the offense of the middle and upper jungle, and uses the advantage of the bottom lane to help the jungler establish an advantage.

This is different from RNG.

After RNG gains an advantage in the bottom lane, the jungler tries to protect the bottom lane. Let alone invade, anyone who takes two steps away from the bottom lane will be caught.

The second point where KT is strong.

Their hero pool is very deep now.

The five players can not only come up with strong heroes in the current version, but also come up with their own unique skills. It is difficult to specifically target them in terms of BP.

The IG training team is constantly analyzing their opponents.

The quarter-finals are still held in Busan, and Li Nian and his team members don't have to travel all over the place. They only need to quietly participate in the training match in the hotel.

However, the hotel on the same floor was already half empty, and every night, the original noise gradually died down.

The time soon came to October 20th.

The game to be held in the morning is between IG and KT, while in the afternoon it will be RNG versus G2.

Li Nian was lying on the minibus, blowing on the air conditioner and reading the e-sports forum.

Although the training games were full these two days, they had a lot of personal time due to the reduction in rankings, so reading the forum became the happiest thing.

Although some teams will collect players' cell phones before the game and prohibit players from participating in any posts that affect their status.

But apart from Rookie and Baolan, the other three people on IG become more and more enthusiastic the more they read the forum.

In today’s Tieba forum, LPL viewers seem to be celebrating the New Year.

"Four teams in the quarterfinals are first in their group, and they are all Asian teams!"

"IG defeated KT. Doesn't that mean the semifinals and finals were all their own?"

"Turtle! What is the most promising year?"

Li Nian now looks at the forums of other competition regions and finds that not only the LPL viewers are thriving, but they are also starting to support IG.

Accompanied by the joy of the e-sports forum, the bus slowly drove outside the clubhouse.

At this moment, there are already many enthusiastic fans wearing the jerseys of various teams waiting for the players' vehicles outside, and at the same time holding banners high to cheer for their favorite players.

After Li Nian got off the car.

Under the protection of security personnel, he warmly greeted the fans around him and then walked into the player-only channel.

Dedicated passages also need to pass security inspections.

After all, this hall can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators. If anything happens, their organizers will be punished.

First, I went to the lounge, put my backpack away, and took out the peripheral equipment inside.

At the same time, the head coach also submitted the starting list for this game to the organizers, and Chen Zebin was still in the audience as a substitute.

Although there is no opening ceremony for the quarterfinals.

However, in order to be photogenic and not look like King Ning, the contestants also put on light makeup on their faces.

Kkoma also writes and draws in the notebook that he never leaves his hand, constantly deducing the opponent's BP results in his mind, striving to help the players get the best lineup.

Until Vincent pushed the door open and called the players to get ready to go on stage.

"Welcome to the 8-to-4 knockout stage of the 2018 Global Finals!" Roaring Emperor stood on the stage and faced the audience.

"Starting today, the global finals will enter the final sprint stage. Every BO5 here will determine who can continue on and move towards the Summoner's Trophy!"

"Let us give warm applause to welcome the two participating teams in the first game of the knockout round!"

"First up is KT from the host LCK team!"

The Roaring Emperor raised his arms and shouted, and KT's six players and head coach appeared in the backstage passage in front of all the audience.

"Top laner Smeb, jungler Socre, mid laner Ucal, bottom laner Deft, and assistant Mata"

After all, it's a home game.

Although KT usually doesn't have many fans, now that this is the only one left in the LCK, fans of the adaptive team naturally support KT very much.

They all raised their support sticks and waved them continuously, and there were even many ten-year-old fans of KT shouting the names of the players on the field.

"Let us invite you next."

The Roaring Emperor drew out his voice.

Then he suddenly turned up the volume, "The winner of the 2017 Global Finals, the number one seed team of the LPL - IG!"

The stage that was supposed to be filled with enthusiastic cheers was now filled with cheers from fans shouting that Chinese IG is awesome.

The pitter-pattering sound at this moment made the stage look particularly quiet.

The Roaring Emperor doesn't care, after all, this is his home stadium, he just needs to do his job well.
Chapter completed!
