In the days after the semi-finals, the popularity of the S-Games on major domestic platforms has gradually increased, and you can see related topics on the hot searches basically every day.

In the "E-Sports Louvre" anti-bar, various friends also show off their magic skills. Every few hours, they will bring up a controversial topic, which attracts all the experts to take action, such as:

"The Shy's total number of kills in the semifinals was exactly equal to Jiang Keda's kills. What do you think this means?"

"Before the start of the third round, the scene where I closed my eyes and meditated reminded me of Xiaoyao who suddenly exploded in popularity at MSI. Is there any explanation for this..."

"Ah Shui and Jiang Ge fist bumped after the game. It seems that these two people have a good relationship. Will there be a chance to play a game together in the future?"

"Bengbu is in trouble. Tiger's total output in the semi-finals was not as good as AD's last one. Let Emperor be suppressed by a total of 500 dollars in the four games. Is there any mid-top player that is more outrageous than this?"

"Don't forget Hades! He didn't win this World Championship without Titans, and he hasn't been able to practice Lulu for a whole year. It's time for a complete reckoning!"

…

Three LPL teams advanced to the semi-finals, but in the end only YM entered the finals. The LPL failed to lock the championship in advance, which naturally made many people break the defense.

Many e-sports enthusiasts who suffered heavy losses even angrily cursed RNG in the comment area, and conspiracy theories about match-fixing cropped up from time to time.

However, anyone who has watched the game knows that RNG and KT are not teams of the same level at all.

On the night after the game ended, "Shi Yigua" Doinb began to review the game while it was still hot in the live broadcast room.

"Actually, I told you before the game that it would be difficult to have an LPL civil war in the finals, because KT was in such good shape that it would be difficult for RNG to win. But oh my god, a lot of people told me to go back to Korea..." he

He looked like his scalp was numb.

Then he looked at the video and analyzed the four games in the left half.

"RNG won the first game because KT was testing the lineup. They actually wanted to see if they could beat Ornn and Green Steel Shadow. After trying it, KT knew how to play. The next three

There will be no suspense anymore.”

"To be honest... I think KT is the most versatile team in terms of tactics in this World Championship. Mainly they have two top laners, Smeb and Marin, who can both lead solo and team up, and the midfielder and jungler are also veterans.

, the hero pool is too comprehensive..."

"RNG has played so many games with four guarantees and one... Yes, I know Uzi is very C, but it's useless. Everyone knows RNG's system. I am the coach of KT and I know how BP does it... No

There’s a way.”

After feeling sorry for RNG, Doinb brought the topic to the finals.

"The final is hard to say. KT won the semi-finals much easier than YM, and their team's background is too terrible. Pawn, Marin, Mata, these three have all won the S championship, AD and jungler

They all debuted in S2 and S3, and the entire team is made up of legendary LCK players, while YM’s players are all players who just debuted this year.”

"But I still hope that YM will win the championship. As for the score, I predict it will be 3 to 2, because these two teams have never met before, and it is said that they have not played in training games... Anyway, cheer for YM!"

After saying that, Doinb directly took out a black uniform of YM, put it on his body quickly, and then clenched his fists to cheer for YM.

The viewers in the live broadcast room also launched barrages.

[I am a veteran player who has been into S2. After watching it for so many years, I really hope that LPL can win the cup once. Come on YM! 】

[I quit the game after seeing the Bird's Nest LCK civil war in S7. Today I saw YM enter the finals and come back obediently. LPL has tortured me a thousand times. I treat it like my first love. Damn it in next week's finals!]

[In S3, I watched the finals in the dormitory with my brothers. Now it has been four years since graduation. Today, my brothers made an appointment to book a venue to watch the finals together next week. Although they are no longer the same teenagers, they still have a passion for e-sports.

It won’t change, YM give it to me!!]

[You are still young upstairs, the 35-year-old greasy uncle is here! I will take my three-year-old son to watch it next week, and we have to start e-sports from a young age, hahaha]

[Although I have hacked YM for a whole year, I still hope that LPL can win the championship. A quick 3-0, or a difficult win like 3-2 would be too disappointing...]

As the region with the largest number of players, LPL has never lacked supporters.

It’s just that the Korean civil war has been staged in the S finals for three consecutive years, especially last year’s S7 held in China. In the semi-finals, WE and RNG were both eliminated and failed to reach the Bird’s Nest, which broke the hearts of fans.

At the time, some people lamented that the past three years should be the darkest era that the LPL has ever experienced, and that the day may never come when we see an LPL team win the championship.

Therefore, after seeing YM reach the finals, the once-disappointed audience returned to the familiar stage one after another, like dew after a long drought.

Regardless of whether you are a fan of YM or not, whether you are still paying attention to LOL e-sports this year, but this November, most people have a common wish in their hearts.

Win that damn championship and break the dark history of LPL without S championship for seven years!

This is not only about an honor for the players on the field, but more importantly, it brings an end to the regrets and unwillingness accumulated over the past few years!

…

Incheon City, one of the six major metropolitan cities in South Korea, is only 65 kilometers away from Seoul. It is also the third first-tier city in Asia after Busan and Seoul.

After entering November, Incheon has entered the late autumn climate, with the lowest temperature reaching as low as 10 degrees.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, a bus with a fist logo on it stopped at the entrance of a circular sports arena.

The car door slowly opened, and Su Chen, who was wearing a black jacket, jumped out and looked up at the building in front of him.

Incheon Munhak Stadium, the host venue for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, is also the venue for the finals of this year's S8 World Championship.

A few days ago, Su Chen had seen the exterior of the stadium on the bus when he arrived from the airport to the hotel, but he didn't know what the inside of the stadium looked like. He just looked at some pictures online.

Behind him, Xiaotian, left hand and others who got off the car also looked up at the stadium in front of them, taking photos with their mobile phones.

"Compared with the Bird's Nest, it's still a little less interesting." PDD seemed to be leading an inspection, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth to look at it.

The burly figure wearing a long black trench coat looked like a bear preparing to hibernate.

"It's not bad. It's bigger than the venues in Gwangju, and it's open-air. I think it's quite interesting." Xiaotian looked around and secretly took a selfie with his mobile phone.

"Let's take a photo together first. I'll post it on my official blog later." Meng Ma greeted, holding the camera.

Everyone also came over and formed a simple pose together.

Soon, Su Chen saw the photo posted on YM's official blog on his mobile phone. Just one minute after it was posted, the number of comments exceeded 100, and the popularity was still very high.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the Riot staff in charge of reception came to the door and took the group into the venue.

After passing through the dark passage, everyone arrived at the interview area set up in the center of the venue.

There are rows of chairs on the green lawn, and reporters from various competition areas are entering the venue one after another, including some old acquaintances from the LPL.

"Hello!" Guan Zeyuan, who was wearing a work badge, waved excitedly, and next to him was Yu Shuang, who was dressed in casual clothes.

The two of them were wearing couple's sweatshirts, one blue and one red, as if they were on a public-funded trip.

After the finals started, the LPL also sent a group of people to Incheon for broadcast, including this young couple.

"Hello, auntie." The garlic bastard shrank his head and said with a mean smile.

Yu Shuang didn't care about this title and said with concern: "I looked at the weather forecast and it seems that the temperature will drop tomorrow. You all should pay attention and don't catch a cold."

Before Su Chen opened his mouth, Guan Zeyuan rushed to answer: "They are all young men, and their bodies are very durable. They are different from the elderly like us."

Yu Shuang rolled her eyes at him: "Who do you think is old?"

Su Chen smiled, exchanged a few words with the two of them, and then followed his teammates to sit on the interview stage.

After waiting for about ten minutes, KT's group also entered the venue, led by Marin with a warm smile on his face.

"Ali Ha Se~" He bowed slightly to the reporters at the scene and greeted them politely.

The same goes for Smeb, Pawn and others behind him.

KT and his team sat on the interview stage in an orderly manner, and following the team at the end was Deft, who had dyed golden hair.

"Seventh brother, do you want to take a photo with your idol later?" Xiaotian winked when he saw Deft coming on stage.

, I was a little moved when I heard this, but I didn’t feel good about it. After all, there was a fight tomorrow.

"Is Deft your idol?" Zhang Xiaowen asked curiously as this was the first time he knew this.

Nodding: "I also thought about playing professionally when I saw EDG win the 2015 MSI."

"Isn't this the same as Gao Tianliang?" Zhang Xiaowen seemed to have some realization.

"What a pity, your idol is in the finals, and Tianbao's idol is live broadcasting at home." Zuo Zuo joked.

Xiaotian shook his head indifferently: "That doesn't matter, I will catch his idol in front of him tomorrow, just wait."

"This Deft golden retriever is a bit handsome," Zhang Xiaowen said with envy, and then touched his head, "I won the championship tomorrow, and I also want to tidy up this thing."

"Get a green one, it suits you very well." Xiaotian's bloodline as an Onmyoji suddenly awakened.

"What are you barking at? What are you barking at?" Zhang Xiaowen's eyes widened and he immediately turned on the Battle mode.

Su Chen shook his head and did not participate in the quarrel between his brothers. Instead, he quietly looked at KT on the other side of the interview room.

He is familiar with both Smeb and Marin. The former played against him in the Asian Games, and the latter also met once in the LPL.

But he is not so familiar with the other combinations of Pawn, Score, and bottom lane.

Although KT's current core is claimed to be Deft, in fact they don't always play around the bottom lane.

General Pawn in the middle can also play heroes like Enchantress in the semi-finals, and Score can also choose Green Steel Shadow, which also shows that KT's rhythm can change at any time.

During these few days in Incheon, apart from playing training matches, the most important thing he did was watch KT's entire year's video.

The conclusion reached is similar to that of the coaching staff. KT has no obvious flaws. This team is perfect. How it plays in the finals all depends on the performance on the scene.

While Su Chen was thinking, Marin, who noticed his gaze, also turned her face and gave him a gentle smile.

Smeb and Pawn beside him also nodded towards Su Chen.
