Chapter 307: Who is stealing someone else's Stankon! Battle of liquidation?

~8 min read 1,502 words

"Welcome everyone to the scene of the 2023 LPL Summer Semi-finals! This is the V5 home court in Shenzhen!"

Host Yu Shuang walked onto the stage in a high-slit cheongsam evening dress to open the show: "After six days of fierce competition, after WBG successfully defeated BLG to enter the top four yesterday, last year's defending champion EDG also regretfully withdrew from the stage, confirming that they have left the S13 stage..."

"And currently, the top four spots for the LPL playoffs have been generated!"

"They are V5, LNG, JDG, and WBG."

"Next, these four teams will decide the final team to go to this year's S series, as well as the new king of this summer split, through a double-elimination system!"

The confrontation in the upper half is fierce.

The competitive pressure in the lower half is also not small.

I don't know if it's because frequent personnel changes led to BLG's poor state, or if the medicine imported from Italy is too strong and they haven't adapted yet.

In the end, BLG was captured by WBG for the second time, falling into the bubble match along with TES.

And this result directly exploded the hidden danger of EDG losing the game the day before yesterday!

The LPL "bubble match" rule is that the top six teams in total points enter, so in fact, the bubble match only has two spots.

EDG has a spring split point advantage compared to LNG and TES, and is also tied with WBG. If the higher-point BLG could win, it would not have an impact on their spots.

But it just happened!

EDG not only lost to TES first, allowing them to advance further, but TES also lost to LNG, allowing them to enter the top four, and finally the high-point BLG also lost to WBG.

Netizens who have been calculating "points" on major platforms for two days were a bit broken for the first time.

This is the defending champion team of last year's S series!

It is a team that won the world championship with a full victory, kept the double-champion jungle-support in the new season, and added foreign gods. The dignified two-time champion "half-step dynasty" team actually announced that they couldn't enter the S series early this year, and didn't even have the qualification for the bubble match!

Uzi's Varus in that game was seen as the culprit.

Soon many sharp-eyed bloggers issued video analysis, revealing the outrageous operations from slow-motion analysis.

That night, it ignited a bigger public opinion frenzy, and for a time it reached the "Era of Great Liquidation"!

【This is God's punishment! Seven years ago, the Pig-Dog War, seven years later, the dog stands in the pig cage, the National Power is destined to be buried with the Imperial Army~~~~】

【Those who have watched the analysis video know that Varus is absolutely fully responsible, really the more I think about it, the angrier I get... That is the life-and-death game of the last game of BO5! How can you practice heroes like this ah ah ah ah ah】

【YE's Varus: "Terrifying Arrow Shooter"; Uzi's Varus: Are you here to shoot arrows?】

【It can only be said that the tide has receded to know who is stealing someone else's Stankon!】

【You were the champion before I came? — I came so you could still be the champion! — I left and you are no longer the champion~】

【It really is, given the state of the EDG team in 2022, going to the S series would be an eight-strong fate. Thinking about it this way, it was actually worth it, it should have happened last year】

Netizens seem to be liquidating the key problems of Uzi's last game.

But more is emotion.

After all, for this remnant version of the champion team EDG, the mid laner Fofo was already giving his all while serving his "sentence," but the previous mid laner's light was just too dazzling, and there was truly no way around it.

Top laner Ale is also a "pseudo-god stable ghost" type hitter who is stable in key games, and the state of the jungle-support has indeed declined slightly.

Actually, Uzi's performance this year is not too bad, and his comprehensive performance can still be ranked in the top six, but the gap with his own peak is obvious.

What netizens really miss is the EDG that left many people moved last year.

It is also because of this.

Today's semi-final duel in the upper half can be called the focus of attention!

From "EDG civil war" + "grudge duel" + "BLG liquidation avenger" multi-party expectations!

The live broadcast camera cut to the auditorium.

The scene was full of people, and the popularity was evident.

And seeing the irradiation of the big screen, the audience also excitedly shook the cheering objects in their hands—most of them were V5 fans, the black and gold team logo and the team slogan "Breaking the Array Only I" presented a very obvious quantity advantage.

But the "Kirin Clouds Appear" blue and white team logo on the other side was also not small.

More importantly, although there was a gap in numbers on the other side, the momentum was quite huge, and for a time it was able to compete with V5!

"Junior! Junior! Come on Junior!"

"Dry Ye to death for me!!!"

"Junior mom loves you ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Today I will tell you that there is a gap between world champions... Hey, who are you, are you stealing pictures of me!"

Compared to V5, which has been appearing for a season, although the fan group is still dominated by Ye Bo fans, all other players have also received love and cheers, and individual cheering rarely appears.

But the fan composition of LNG is very obvious.

After all, besides Scout, the most famous in the team is even Breathe, who was bought in the mid-season.

Obviously, the remaining four tied together and doubled are not as good as the fan volume of one mid laner!

And the biggest advantage of female fans is that "tolerance" is very strong, even if Scout played like a district last year, even if he led the team to dive to the bottom in the first half of this year, even if a bunch of negative news is entangled... they can all self-adapt and interpret!

And as soon as they wait for the team's state to rise, especially after kicking TES three to zero the day before yesterday.

It makes the confidence of the fan group reach an unprecedented level.

{Weibo Super Talk} is all saying: V5 is just lucky! They met LNG whose state was not good at the beginning of summer!

Even taking T1 next door as an example!

Plus XMM is definitely one of the groups that "hates" Ye Bo the most—from the EDG bench-grabbing period to now, thinking that everything about Scout today is caused by YE.

Today, they only want to see the "Battle of Liquidation"!

So during the player stage entry session, every one of them was trying their best to make the biggest ghost-like screams, shouting for their idols!

The terrifying scene made people doubt whether they had come to Silent Hill.

Both sides entered their seats, and the commentary desk screen was connected.

"This BO5 today is interesting. Both sides are old acquaintances, and there is a duel between old clubs," Jide took the lead in spreading the topic.

Wang Duoduo immediately echoed: "Yes, the two teams Brother Shengqiang stayed in before V5 were LNG and EDG, and there is also the former champion teammate mid laner of Ye Master and Junior. Today is really the most familiar duel!"

"At the same time, this game can also be said to be crucial to the situation of the LPL playoffs!"

Gu Gu adjusted her headset and said according to the headset director's prompt: "According to the competition rules, the spring split champion V5 currently has 90 competition points, and the highest point BLG in the bubble match only has 30 points, but the runner-up of the summer split directly has 110 points, and the third place also has 90 points..."

"That is to say, if LNG can win this game against V5, they only need to win one more game to squeeze into the finals, and they have already guaranteed to go to the world championship!"

"And if it is V5 winning this semi-final, then LNG's situation will be difficult, meaning they have to win two or three games in a row, and the opponents are still strong teams like BLG, WBG, JDG!"

The summer split points far exceed the previous segments, and even the third place can be the same as the spring split champion.

So generally speaking, poor performance in the spring split will not affect the S-series spots too much.

But the problem is, the first and second in spring and summer this year are currently V5 and JDG! ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
