Subsequent games.

DK vs. GEN, left with regret at 2:3.

In the first two games, Chaowei and Xiaohuasheng's performance was very eye-catching. With Yongen and Zhulian, they drove the rhythm of the whole game and easily won the first two games.

By the third and fourth games, Doran was clearly starting to get sick and gave DK many chances to win the game.

The score was about to reach match point at 2:2.

Chidi stood up, and the Luna combination dealt explosive damage, and their output was maximized in team battles, helping GEN win the difficult fifth game.

At the same time, it also shattered DK's fantasy of coming back from 2-0 down to 3-0.

the other side.

The EDG vs. DRX match was also very tense.

EDG took the first two cities, with Scout and JieJie making great efforts, there was not much suspense in the first two games.

They thought this game was basically won, and as long as they won any of the next three games, they could advance to the semi-finals and meet Tes.

Moreover, coming back from 2-0 down to 3-0 down is extremely difficult in the entire league's history.

So EDG was obviously careless and didn't take it seriously.

What’s more, DRX was the fourth seed in LCK and almost failed to qualify, so it has always been regarded as a weak team in this World Championship.

But in the end, DRX made it to the end, completed the feat of coming back from 2-0 down to 3-0 down, stepped on EDG's "corpse" and advanced to the semi-finals!

This battle is bound to make countless fans feel unhappy!

For a while, the Internet was completely blown up.

[Mad, did the sword move last night? ]

[Don't move, the one from last night was broken, and now I have a new one.]

[This is really the biggest joke in history. We practiced the lineup against DRX and then went straight home after practice. ]

[Be more confident, EDG is just a noob, don't talk about practicing the lineup. ]

【After watching this, I really want to curse. 】

[Oh my god, open the champagne! ]

[EDG is also strange. They fought back and forth against T1, but got beaten badly against DRX. ]

[It’s just a joke in the first division. ]

[It gets stronger every year, and this year it almost made it to the top 16. 】

【The No. 2 seed was crushed by the No. 4 seed. How embarrassing.】

[I suddenly feel that IG in S8 is awesome, the only team that can save face for LPL. ]

[What you said, isn't Tes strong anymore? They shut out T1! Let's see Tes again this year]

[It’s not that LPL doesn’t have any team training, it’s that LCK doesn’t have any team training. After all, Gen.G and DRX both have rare playing styles. 】

[Don't look for them anymore, EDG is already on their way back home. ]

[Don't be so mean, EDG is paying tribute to the factory manager. They played the game at 7 o'clock, their economy of 7 was overturned, and they played for 7 hours, and finally successfully advanced to the top 7. ]

[The Korean double Cs enhance our country's prestige! ]

[It’s so funny. I remember I was still buying tickets for the semi-finals before EDG started playing.]

[EDG: I heard the semi-finals will be held in New York, so I won’t go. ]

[This game is as abstract as RNG vs. JDG. ]

After some heated discussions online, the draw results for the top four were announced.

October 10th, Tes vs GEN.

October 10st, JDG vs DRX.

After the draw results came out, a meeting was immediately held within Tes.

"GEN is also the favorite to win this year. Their strength should not be underestimated."

White Crescent displayed all the data of GEN in this World Championship in front of everyone.

"Chao Wei and Xiao Huasheng are in very hot form in this world competition, and they are the ones we need to focus on."

"There is also the bottom laner Chidi, who was also very good in this world championship. The combination with Lehends' Luna is something we cannot let go of."

"As for Doran, he is a relatively weak link compared to the rest of them. We can target him."

“Of course, the most important thing is Chovy. His performance in this World Championship was really strong. We can’t let him play too comfortably.” White Crescent said, looking around at the crowd.

"Got it coach."

Ah Shui and others nodded seriously.

They all knew what White Crescent said, and they also knew that GEN was not a weak team, and was even the favorite to win the championship this time.

"A Shui, this time it's up to you. Just break through the opponent in the bottom lane." White Crescent Moon looked at A Shui and said half-jokingly.

"Next time I go up against the Ruler Emperor, I will definitely give him a hard time."

A fierce look flashed in Ah Shui's eyes, and his waist slapped loudly.

"Xiaotian, thank you for helping to establish an advantage in the bottom lane this time. If A Shui is up, our team fights will be secure." White Crescent looked at Xiaotian again and continued.

"Yes, I will." Xiaotian nodded seriously.

As a jungler, he naturally knows the principle of helping the strong and not the weak.

As long as A Shui in the bottom lane can get up, they will not be at a disadvantage to GEN in team battles.

"And Tzun, you should know what to do when facing Doran this time, right?" The White Crescent looked at Lu Yiming again.

The reason why White Crescent focused on the bottom lane before was because White Crescent knew very well that the upper lane was not something he needed to worry about at all.

First of all, Knight in the middle lane will definitely be able to stabilize, at least he won’t collapse.

And Lu Yiming.

Not to mention Lu Yiming. After watching so many of Lu Yiming's games, White Crescent's most intuitive feeling about Lu Yiming is.

This kid is so fierce!
In the last match against T1, Zeus was so upset that he walked off the stage with a gloomy face after the game.

The next player they are about to face this time is Doran, who is known as the 'good friend of LPL' and he shows his filial piety to LPL teams in various ways.

If Lu Yiming didn't kill Doran twice in a game, White Crescent would think that Lu Yiming was not performing well.

Lu Yiming was so sleepy after listening to what was said that it seemed like he was not very interested in today's meeting.

"I know, of course I know, it's just a little Doran, I'll take care of it."

In his words, Lu Yiming did not take Doran seriously at all.

And no matter how arrogant he is, Lu Yiming has the confidence to guarantee it.

Never flip over!

With his current ability, it is more than enough for him to beat Doran. It can even be said that if they meet GEN, their qualification spot will be given to them for free.

But that’s not entirely true.

After all, GEN's configuration is still very strong this year.

Although Doran in the top lane is a weak point.

But that's besides the point.

Chovy in the middle, Peanut in the jungle, and ruler in the bottom lane.

These are the trickier ones.

If we really have to say which one is stronger between T1 and GEN this year, to be fair, GEN is still stronger this year.

After all, although T1 has the veteran Faker leading the team, the other four players are inexperienced and cannot take on the heavy responsibility. They can get to where they are now purely relying on Faker. The only one who can be considered good is Gumausi.

In comparison, GEN's lineup is very luxurious.

But Lu Yiming still didn't feel that GEN would pose much of a threat to them.

On the contrary. In the future games, Lu Yiming cares about the team the most.

That's DRX!

DRX should be the least noticeable team this year.

They almost failed to qualify in the summer season and finally entered the world championship as the fourth seed.

In the previous knockout rounds, DRX's strength was still relatively mediocre, and it was purely relying on their good brothers in Europe and the United States to lift them to their current position.

It was not until their last match against EDG, where they came back from 2-0 down to send EDG back to China, that everyone started to notice this unknown team.

Originally, Lu Yiming wanted to take everyone to see the DRX team and study them carefully.

But looking at the white crescent moon, it is obvious that the focus has been placed on GEN.

If Lu Yiming said at this time that he was going to study DRX, it would probably be a bit disappointing.

Ah Shui, who was looking down at his phone, suddenly frowned: "Brothers, I have some important news to tell you."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Ah Shui with puzzled looks.

White Crescent was also equally confused. Could it be that something had happened?

"This is what my friend just told me. This is inside information. After RNG failed in the quarterfinals, they did not return to China, but went to help GEN play a training match!"

As he said that, A Shui was about to pick up the screen of his mobile phone to show it to everyone, but after thinking about it, he did not reveal more information about his friends.

"This news is absolutely true!"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Then Da Huang couldn't help but swear:
"Damn it, RNG really went to help Korean Bangzi?"

If this is true, to be honest, even Da Huang, a substitute, can't stand it.

The white crescent moon also frowned.

No wonder there was no news of RNG returning to China after their failure in the quarterfinals. It turns out they went to help GEN?
Everyone felt a little unhappy when they thought about RNG helping GEN play training games when LPL and LCK were playing in the semi-finals.

Ah Shui's face was very ugly, and he was very disgusted: "RNG has no bottom line. They were eliminated in the quarterfinals, and they still helped the Koreans to beat our LPL team. Have they forgotten that they are also an LPL team?"

Lu Yiming sneered: "What bottom line do those RNG people have? Don't forget, if we advance to the finals, it will not be good for RNG at all. They hope that we will be eliminated early, so they will definitely try every means to prevent us from winning the championship."

After a pause, Lu Yiming was really amused: "But there is something wrong with GEN. They actually let RNG play a training match with them. They don't really think that RNG understands us very well, right?"

GEN has been constantly studying T1's tactics. They may sometimes seem stretched when facing other teams, just like this time against DK, when they were confused by some of DK's new tactics.

But this does not mean that every team will be like them and only be the nemesis of one team.

RNG would definitely not do that, even though RNG does have a huge grudge against Tes, or more precisely, against Lu Yiming.

Playing a training match with RNG will only make them play worse and worse!
Tes then continued to make active preparations.

The time soon came to October 10st.

The semi-finals of the S12 World Championship.

It's finally here!
Today's match is between Tes and GEN.

The other semifinal is scheduled for October 10, with DRX facing JDG.

Atlanta State Farm Arena.

The venue was still packed today.

"Welcome everyone to the 2022 League of Legends World Championship semi-finals. I am your commentator Guan Zeyuan!"

"I am Wang Duoduo!"

"Today's match is between our LPL No. 5 seed Tes and GEN from LCK. In this BO match, who will win the semi-finals?"

"Yes, will Tes make it to the finals, or will GEN be better? It's really exciting!"

"Okay, we see that both players are ready. Now, let's welcome our players to the stage!"

Accompanied by exciting music, contestants from both sides walked out from the backstage.

Lu Yiming and Xiaotian walked in the front, taking the lead.

Following behind were Shui, Zuoshou and Zhuo.

After everyone arrived at the stage, they waved to the audience around them.

Off the court.

"Come on Topbo! Come on Topbo! Come on Topbo!"

There were waves of cheers like a tidal wave.

After T1 was eliminated by Tes, Tes gained a large number of fans around the world.

In this foreign country, there are far more fans coming to support Tes today than those coming to support GEN!
At this moment, I'm afraid that the GEN players must be under great psychological pressure, as if they had come to Tes' home court.

Next is the GEN team.

This time Chovy walked in the front, which was different from the past when Peanut or Ruler walked in the front.

After all, their top, jungle and AD are all new members this time, and in comparison, the veteran Chovy is more qualified.

Doran followed Chovy rather stiffly, with a slightly nervous look on his face.

He was really nervous at this moment.

These days, countless people have reminded him how strong Tzun is.

And as he will face Tzun directly today, the pressure is doubled!

Players from both sides take their positions.

After the equipment is debugged, it comes to the BP stage.

"Okay, we see that both sides have entered the BP phase. The blue side is GEN, and the red side is Tes. The blue side has the priority to choose sides in the first round."

As this semi-final is of vital importance, both sides must have done in-depth research from BP to in-game tactics.

GEN also took the initiative to ban Sejuani, Sylas, and Aatrox.

"Boyka and Sylas have been banned. To be honest, this means that the entire Boyka-Sylas system is going to be banned. After all, as everyone knows, this combination can play a very important role in both the early and mid-to-late game."

"Yes, and this group is very dynamic. If they are banned, they will not be a big threat to GEN anymore."

As a counterattack, TesBan killed the policewoman, cat, and male gun.

This is basically the regular ban position in this World Championship.

Caitlyn and Cat must not be released, otherwise if they are chosen first by the blue team, the bottom lane will be very uncomfortable.

Before even choosing a hero, the online comments had already started to argue.

【I have to ban the policewoman cat every time. 】

[If Chidi picks it, then the bottom lane is basically over. 】

[This is equivalent to always wasting two ban slots when playing against LCK. Can't LPL choose for themselves? 】

[Are you doubting your brother's ability by saying this? ]

[The policewoman is banned 6 times in a row, so cool! ]

[Don't watch it anymore. Let me tell you the ending. GEN 3:1, advanced to the finals, and Tes has nothing to do with it. ]

[I really believe this. GEN's overall strength is much stronger than T1. Faker is already old. ]

[If a young player like Lu ÷ were to encounter a team with some strength, he would definitely show his true colors. ]

[It's so funny. What do you think Doran is? It all depends on how Doran performs.]

[Do you want to win by relying on the opponent to act? You are such a loser.]

[Can you be as unsuccessful as RNG? Don’t you know who played with you in GEN’s training matches? ]

[RNG, a bunch of idiots, have made the Chinese people lose face. ]

The RNG players certainly didn't expect that their rhythm would pick up before the game even started...
