Chapter 156: The Battle of Ice and Fire! The Battle of Spear and Shield! An Unexpected and Bold Desi

Chapter 156: The Battle of Ice and Fire! The Battle of Spear and Shield! An Unexpected and Bold Desi

Chapter 156: The Battle of Ice and Fire! The Battle of Spear and Shield! An Unexpected and Bold Design!

On October 10, at the State Agricultural Stadium in Atlanta, the entire stadium with nearly 31 seats was filled.

Although the only remaining European and American team, RGE, has been eliminated, the local North American audiences are still enthusiastic and have come today to watch this battle between strong teams. Or they are expecting that GEN.G, which defeated their own team, will suffer the same result today!

At five in the morning local time, domestic audiences set their alarm clocks and waited in front of their screens for the game to begin.

The lights in the stadium went out instantly.

The giant screen in the center began to play the pre-match promotional video for the second half of the semi-finals.

{In LCK, domination and strength are the keywords for GEN and its players this summer}
As the narration began, the screen flashed to show GEN.G's game in the LCK league and the scene of them holding the league championship trophy.

The next moment Chovy appeared in front of the screen, supporting the glass mirror with his right hand, staring at himself in the mirror.

"In my opinion, there is not much difference between the World Championship and the LCK Summer League."

This sentence clearly implies that the top four were almost all taken by the Korean region, almost like playing the LCK playoff process again.

"And we are the best team in LCK."

"I will prove it again in this global finals!"

The scene changed from light to dark.

The narration sounded again, and scenes of EDG's equally hot summer jumped out, stirring the fiery nerves of the team's supporters.

{The crown seemed to be a shackle for this team at first, until they integrated new blood, broke through and rebuilt, and were reborn}
The picture connects to Chovy's previous segment, and the camera suddenly begins to pan and stretch to the left - standing opposite the opaque glass mirror is Ye Bo's figure.

"My teammates walked this same route just last year, so they are very familiar with it."

"With them leading the way, I don't think I will get lost here."

"By the way, I am actually a collector and have obsessive compulsive disorder. So I am looking forward to playing against Chovy!"

The metaphor of this passage is also self-evident.

The pre-match statistics of the World Championship have always been the most talked-about topic in major media forums, and Ye Bo's top-notch "Paired Single Kill Rate" has always attracted much attention both in the competition area and on the stage of the World Championship.

After the two finished their "trash talk" monologue, the camera pulled back instantly.

It shows two people standing opposite each other on the mirror.

Then, the two of them simultaneously raised their fists and smashed forward against the mirror, breaking the barrier that was so close - in an instant, they were meeting each other as kings!
The loud sound of breaking glass was accompanied by the exciting background music. The picture kept flashing at every landmark in Atlanta. The two groups of people appeared one after another with full momentum!
And everyone in every scene is looking towards the Summoner's Trophy that appears everywhere.

Finally, under the strong spotlight.

The two sides faced each other.

The focus of the picture returns to the scene where Ye Bo and Chovy are standing opposite each other.

This is clearly the "focus match of the game" selected by the official.

The video was then re-narrated, recorded in segments by LCK's Roaring Emperor and LPL's Guan Zeyuan.

Guan: {People say that YE’s laning phase is like fire, a flame that can destroy and devour all opponents and hopes}
Xiao: {Then Chovy’s laning phase is like ice, an unshakable iceberg that always stands in the middle lane.}
Guan: {The last LPL team to challenge the No. 1 seed of LCK}
Xiao: {The real battle has just begun}
The picture froze at this point, instantly sparking a frenzy of discussion in the live broadcast room.

[I'm so excited! I'm so excited! ]

[Isn't it so cool? It would be embarrassing if someone gets beaten up later~]

[The upper half is the old man's reminiscence, and the lower half is the new generation's song of ice and fire! ]

[This must be a connection! The championship teammates have so little space, so this is really YE's personal promotional video, right? ]

[No? Without Master Ye, it would have ended last week! ]

[Then let me ask you, why can three top eight players be the protagonists of the World Championship promotional video for two years? ]

[One protagonist made it to the semifinals half a year after debuting, and another protagonist made it to the semifinals for the first time four years after debuting. I can’t say who has connections.]

Just arguing endlessly in the barrage.

A dazzling light suddenly appeared from the top of the center of the venue, shining straight onto the center of the stage.

The actual Summoner's Trophy appeared before everyone's eyes.

"To all the audiences here and in front of the screen, this is Atlanta! Welcome!"

The North American presenter, dressed in formal attire, stepped into the spotlight.

"After the exciting competition in the first half, the first strong player to enter the finals has reached the top of the mountain, and today will be the semi-final showdown of the second half."

"Now please invite both teams to come on stage!"

The lights suddenly spread to both sides, lighting up the entire stage.

"First, let us welcome the 2022 LCK Summer Split Champion, the No. seed of the LCK region——GEN.G!"

"Top laner Doran, jungler Peanut, mid laner Chovy, shooter Ruler and support Lehends!"

The Korean fans who came from afar screamed at the top of their lungs and cheered for the home team.

The host waited until the noise died down before taking a deep breath and shouting again: "Then what's next!"

"Let us welcome the 2021 World Finals champion, the 2022 LPL Summer Season champion, and the No. seed of the LPL region - EDG!"

The cheers that had just subsided for a while suddenly exploded tenfold!
This was accompanied by screams in many different languages ​​and irrepressible applause, which formed a great contrast with the welcoming moment just now.

Ye Bo, who was waiting under the stage, felt the rising platform under his feet and listened to the cheers that were becoming clearer and clearer.

His heart was already beating violently in his chest.

"Top laner Flandre, jungler Jiejie, mid laner YE, shooter Viper and support Meiko!"

The host on the scene shouted loudly in a drawn-out tone.

And it was obvious that when the midfielder's name was read out, the foreign language voices at the scene once again showed quite high ups and downs.

"There is only one spot to the finals, and only the winner can get a ticket to the San Francisco finals. Let's wait and see who will win!"

The excitement at the scene continued until the two contestants took their seats in the center of the stage.

The live broadcast screen also switches back to the live broadcast room of each streaming service.

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2022 World Championship semi-finals. Hello everyone, I am Wawa!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Miller!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Ze Yuan!"

In addition to the standard Haier Brothers, Guan Zeyuan, who was on duty for the entire match, was also specially invited to commentate on the semi-final match.

"Although the games in the first half exceeded all of our expectations, today's game is actually the highlight that everyone was most looking forward to before the game!" Miller took over the conversation.

"EDG vs. GEN, the clash of the top seeds from China and South Korea will definitely be a confrontation on the tip of a knife!"

Wawa also added: "Before this, both teams had not lost a single game in the world competition and maintained an undefeated streak! This is enough to show that the strength of the two teams is very close!"

The director then cuts out the specific data comparison of the ten players.

As one of the focuses of this match, when it came to the comparison of mid-lane data, it unsurprisingly attracted everyone's attention.

"Master Ye's {blood index} was as high as a terrifying 15 9.6 minutes ago! He may even be the player with the highest statistic in all the world championships!" Wawa said, and did not forget to explain how the statistic was calculated.

"The Bloody Index is mainly based on the comparison between {average kills per game} and {damage per minute}. 15 minutes ago, he was generally still in the development and laning phase. To be able to achieve such a number, he is indeed worthy of the description of "Fire" in the promotional video!"

Miller immediately responded, "Chovy's statistic is 4.3, which is half as low as Master Ye's. They are two extremes. It really looks like his description of "Ice" in the trailer!"

Guan Zeyuan noticed several other key data.

"But Chovy is not without advantages. You can see that Chovy is ahead of Master Ye in {last hit difference} and {opposition economic difference}. At the same time, he is only slightly behind in {average damage per minute}, {damage percentage}, {average single kills per game} and other data!"

At first glance, Chovy and Ye Bo's data are indeed quite close.

But this is mainly because in the quarterfinals, Ye Bo's change in playing style was indeed very similar to Chovy's team positioning, which led to a sudden "brush" of data, resulting in several data being somewhat close.

However, there is only one piece of data where there is a huge and obvious gap between the two sides - "Participation Rate"!
Ye Bo's participation rate ranks first, while Chovy's participation rate ranks eighth.

Ranked last among the top eight mid laners!
Here we can see the biggest difference between the two sides.

The commentary desk is still analyzing.

Some players from both sides have already come to the center to toss a coin before the game to choose their side.

But soon, Saint Spear Brother, who was the closest and had just walked over, came back with a pout on his face. One look at his expression showed that he had lost the guess.

"You lost again, Brother Saint Spear~" Jiejie, with a slightly nasal tone, said jokingly, "This coin bet won't work!"

"I will never guess this side again. This side without words is really bad!" Saint Spear Brother complained unhappily.

"It's okay~ Let them play on the blue side!" Ye Bo consoled with a smile.

Not surprisingly, in this version, unless there is a special design, it is almost impossible for anyone to actively choose the red side.

The information of choosing sides is conveyed.

Before long, the clanging sounds echoed throughout the venue.

The BP panel is presented to everyone!

"The first round of BP has officially begun! GEN.G won the right to choose the side and took the lead in getting the blue side in the first round!"

"Hey, it seems that Gen.G chose to leave the middle lane empty!"

The first round of bans for both sides:

GEN.G: Akali, Treant, Ruined King

EDG: Cat, Policewoman, Sword Demon

There is no need to say much about the red team's BP, basically two positions are locked first.

No matter which one the Cat Policewoman puts out, the opponent will grab it. If you choose to put all of them out, the opponent only needs to grab the Policewoman to crack it.

After all, if you pick Miss Fortune and the opponent dares to pick Cat, it means you are almost halfway to success before you even defeat Miss Fortune. At the same time, Miss Fortune can also pick Cat to solve the hero's biggest flaw, the "V-shaped strong curve".

At present, as long as the ban positions are not extremely tight, the simplest and most direct way is to ban all of them.

As for the Sword Demon, it can be said that there were many factors that influenced yesterday's semi-finals.

The performance of the Aatrox in that BO5 was so brilliant and crucial, even though everyone knew that the more crucial thing was the user Kingen - after all, the Aatrox used by Zeus did not produce very good results.

But such performance has at least proved the strength and upper limit of this hero, so there is no need to release it if you can avoid it.

As for the blue side's BP, Gen has his own ideas.

DK has already paved the way for them, and it is obvious that the hero pool strategy targeting the mid laner is difficult to be effective.

Then just use all but the most famous skills and use more ban positions to build an advantageous lineup.

"Gen seemed to be wavering between Tsar and Silas, but finally chose Tsar!"

If it was before the quarterfinals, perhaps GEN.G would prefer Sylas as the first pick.

But after the quarterfinals, Ye Bo's Tsar left everyone with an impression no less than Silas.

What's more, Tsar is also a hero that Chovy is better at.

In addition, when EDG played against DK, and when T1 played against DRX yesterday, there was a matchup of {Tsar vs. Sylas}.

The Tsars controlled by Ye Bo and Li Xianghe both played a good suppressing effect on the court, which seemed to prove that this was a reasonable matchup.

"EDG counterattacked and locked down Sylas in seconds! Without any hesitation!"

“Although this matchup is known to be somewhat uncomfortable, the unique skill of YE player is absolute confidence!”

Miller recalled: "But it's not that we can't play. Although Zeka's Sylas had a hard time in the laning phase yesterday, he also played quite well in the mid-term teamfight. These two can't be said to be restrained."

"EDG defeated Graves again. It looks like Jiejie should be back to form today!"

"But GEN picked Sejuani and Varus. This blue side pick is really comfortable."

As the game progresses to this stage, Varus' priority has been visibly improved.

It’s not because of yesterday’s “Three Arrows to Win the Dragon”, after all, that was just a low-probability event.

At the beginning, this hero was a relatively unpopular choice.

Players criticized him for not having any displacement and being prone to sudden death, his carrying ability in the mid-to-late game not being as good as Aphelios, and his laning strength not being as good as Miss Fortune and Skateboard Shoes. He can be said to be in a mediocre position.

But as everyone's understanding of the version improves.

Varus suddenly transformed himself and became a "jack of all trades" choice whose carry ability in the mid-to-late game is far better than that of Skates, but whose laning strength can crush Aphelios, and who also has control + certain pushing abilities!

In particular, this hero does not rely too much on support and can switch between "attack speed flow" and "Poke flow" at any time.

No matter which type of support it is paired with, it can produce impressive results, and now it has become a high-priority bottom lane pick.

However, Ye Bo was not surprised after seeing the opponent's BP.

They had already determined the direction before the game.

This GEN is a team built around double Cs. With the top individual strength of Chao Wei and Ruler in the mid and bottom lanes, plus their famous big-brush playing styles, they can stably kill the game as long as they slowly operate the team until the late stages.

Therefore, EDG has already prepared for a "blitzkrieg" when fighting them.

"EDG picked Skateboards on the third floor!" "Just looking at the lineup, it seems that the EDG style of play that we are most familiar with is back today!" Wawa seemed a little excited.

Entering the second round of BP————

GEN: Renata, Crocodile

EDG: Alchemy, Fan Mom

Renata is an excellent combination with Varus and Skateboard Shoes, but since the red side can choose first on the fourth floor, GEN can only ban themselves.

And they naturally saw that the opponent's lineup was obviously going to play at a fast pace, so they banned the crocodile that was strong in the early and mid-game.

As for EDG's thoughts.
"There's nothing wrong with EDG banning Alchemist. Lehends is the famous No. 1 Alchemist in the Korean server, and Skateboards is really afraid of Alchemist's ground-binding effect!" Miller analyzed.

"But even though the Apocalypse banned many support heroes, it seems that there are not too many restrictions, right?"

"Eh? EDG didn't leave the counter position for the top laner, and directly gave the all-purpose Gnar to Saint Spear!"

In fact, if we can see clearly the "auxiliary confrontation" situation that is now in front of us.

You will find that it is normal to leave the counter position to the auxiliary.

There are indeed many soft supports out there, such as Sorry, Lulu, Radiance, Ashe, etc.
But among them, Lehends, who started out as a hard support, basically doesn't play the nurse, and he also has no idea how to play non-mainstream shooter supports like Ashe that require walking A.

Then what remains are {protection type} and {Poke laning type}.

But here, there is an auxiliary "triangular restraint chain".

Generally speaking: "Forced opening hard auxiliary → Poke type soft auxiliary → Protective soft auxiliary → Forced opening hard auxiliary."

If you choose Lux and Varus to form a double Poke, you can choose strong-opening heroes such as Diana and Titan as the fifth-floor counter position. Since Varus's range is far less than that of Caitlyn, he cannot maintain a health advantage at all times, and he is more likely to be found when facing strong-opening hard supports.

If you choose Lulu to play protection, the opponent can choose a Poke-type soft support and cooperate with Skates to attack the laning phase.

Not to mention the inevitable defeat in laning phase.

What’s more important is that once you choose a soft support like Lulu whose core ability is “amplification”, then Varus will inevitably be tied to the “attack speed flow” style of play - but under the opponent’s strong face-to-face lineup, the attack speed flow Varus without displacement will have extremely worrying survival space!

GEN head coach Score thought about it.

A solution that seems more appropriate was made.

"Tahm Kench, he can also defend against the opponent's early-game bottom lane tower dive."

"Ruler plays Poke in this game, and Tam is looking at Tsar in the late game. As long as the opponent's lineup fails to kill Tsar, we will have a 10-0 chance in teamfights!"

Since the support will be countered no matter what it brings out, it is the option with the least risk to just bring out one even if you are suppressed.

At the same time, Tam can also provide the last layer of protection for the two key dual cores in the team, or even the core in the middle, and can also prevent the four-on-two situation that may occur in the early stage.
But when Ye Bo saw that the opponent chose a protective support like Tam, a gleam appeared in his eyes.

really
EDG immediately made a decision and chose Ashe between the two Poke-style soft supports, Lux and Ashe.

The lineups of both sides are confirmed.

《Blue side: GEN.G丨丨Red side: EDG》

[Top: Hidden Mountain Flame vs Lost Fang]

[Jungle: Fury of the North vs. Outlaw]

[Mid-lane: Desert Emperor vs Liberator]

[Archer: Arrow of Punishment vs Spear of Vengeance]

[Assist: River King vs Ice Shooter]

At the same time, everyone at DRX was watching the final.

During the final BP selection, Beryl, who was in charge of BP in the team, was obviously a little confused.

"GEN's understanding seems to be different from ours. This is a bit like the understanding of the previous version, still this slow-paced turtle formation."

"This Karma ban is a great choice, it happens to be one of the soft supports that Sun Ge plays best, and it is a choice that can play both laning and protection. EDG has done a lot of research on them."

"But actually looking at this Tam, I feel like GEN may not even realize what the other team is thinking!"

If Beryl were to do this auxiliary selection.

Even though he knows that he will be countered and that this may give the opponent more opportunities to set the tempo, he will still do everything possible to select heroes that can fight for lane control.

Just because in his understanding, line power is the most important thing in this version.

The clues Beryl saw were exactly what Ye Bo discovered before the game.

In fact, the match between GEN and Rouge in the quarterfinals was not a complete loss.

Ye Bo discovered a "phenomenon" of this team.

As for the opponent's version, apart from the lower hard support selection rate, it seems that there has been no change since the group stage - this is an extremely rare phenomenon among the quarterfinals.

In other words, GEN is one of the few teams that still sticks to its original understanding and does not follow the crowd.

Of course, there is no so-called "correct answer" when it comes to version understanding.

After all, GEN still has an undefeated record so far.

No one can or dares to say that their understanding is not the "correct answer".

You want to insist that the logic of DRX, which has already entered the finals, is correct, but the reality is that DRX can only get through every game with a difficult score of 3 to 2!
In GEN's own logic, they originally played a slow-paced lineup, so naturally they would not pay too much attention to the early battle for line rights.

This choice of Tam was equivalent to giving up the fight for the bottom lane rights, in exchange for preventing the bottom lane from crossing the tower and providing protection in the later stages - this also made Ye Bo completely confirm this idea.

The audience in the LPL event live broadcast room were confused and discussed the lineup.

[Damn, it's this turtle-like iron bucket formation again. Is this the only tactic that GEN can use? They've been using it for a year!]

[Everyone can order takeout now, be prepared to see you in 0 minutes]

[It doesn't exist. Let's see how EDG takes off this turtle shell and makes soup! ]

[You like to let Sylas go, right? Samsung's coach should be ready to take the blame! When Chao Wei is killed by a single player, just go back and slap the coach! ]

[Wake up, don’t you know who this coach is? He slapped each of the five Samsung players, and they immediately knelt down and shouted “Big brother, your slap is really loud!”]

Before leaving the stage, GEN head coach Score walked behind each player one by one and gave them encouragement.

"Just go for it. Today, it's up to you to take down YE!" He walked behind Chovy and squeezed his shoulder affectionately, "As long as the mid laner goes down, they'll lose their rhythm!"

Chovy also looked quite confident: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Score nodded in satisfaction, continued to walk behind Chidi, and said similar words of encouragement.

The ruler was only touched lightly on the shoulder, so he quickly and respectfully replied, "I will do my best!"

The coaches from both sides came down and shook hands.

Mingkai and Score, two old rivals who had fought against each other in the S League, looked at each other. They didn't expect that they would meet again in the same capacity.
I still feel a little emotional when I think about it now——————because that game was the last S game in Mingkai’s career!
As a result, he was stabbed in the ass by Score Zhao Xin, who was also a jungler.
The two nodded to each other.

The cheers in the State Agricultural Stadium were endless, coming from all directions.

As the screen gradually darkens, Summoner's Rift suddenly appears!
"The first match of the semi-finals begins!"

"It's a showdown between two No. 1 seeds, and both teams have chosen their best lineups. It can be said that it's the sharpest spear versus the strongest shield!"

"Let us wait and see whether the spear will break the shield or the shield will break the spear!"

After a brief introduction, the commentary desk quickly got into the game.
"At the beginning, it seemed that both sides were in normal positions."

"Hey jiejie what are you trying to do!?"

In the director's focus, before even looking at the rune skill selections of both sides, it was discovered that EDG's Graves had some strange movements.

I saw Graves rushing straight to the dragon pit as soon as he came out, then he used the E skill to draw his gun and slide.

Slid directly into the dragon pit!
But strangely, Graves just slid into the dragon pit without any further action.

Like waiting.

The other four people on both sides maintained the most standard long snake formation, appeared in each other's field of vision, and met each other.

It doesn't seem like there's anything unusual.

But at 0:45, after the male gun waited for his E skill to refresh, he directly drew his gun and "jumped over the wall" to E!
At this time, there is Ornn in the grass above and Sejuani at the entrance of the river below.

Obviously, those two positions can provide views of the river here. But there is nothing unusual on GEN's minimap!

"It seems that he didn't notice it!" The Holy Spear brother who was watching from above saw that Ornn did not come out of the grass to surround him, so he gave the information.

"Well, they probably didn't find it." Ye Bo, who was monitoring nearby, also said, "Then let's do it according to our plan, Jie. If they find it, we can defeat them at level one."

"Okay, it's finally my turn to fight back!" Jiejie rubbed his hands excitedly.

Why can Graves "walk" into the opponent's jungle so seemingly easily and openly?
You have to know that the position where Peanut is standing guard is just able to detect all the vision of the big dragon pit entrance - that is to say, as long as someone walks out of the big dragon pit entrance, they will definitely be seen.

But if you don’t leave from the pit entrance.

Instead, use the displacement skill to move directly through the wall from the corner of the partition - then you can get right next to a "narrow" blind spot!

This design was actually inspired by Ye Bo's review of Kayn's incredible level 1 invasion after a battle with DK.

After all, the reason why Canyon Kayn can use E to pass through the defensive tower is that it just happens to be stuck at the vision limit on both sides of the defensive tower, so he can complete the vision-free passage within the duration of the E skill.

No one else has this unique advantage except Kayn who has Shadow Step, and it cannot be learned.

However, this idea of ​​blocking vision is obviously applicable to all heroes!

After a long and somewhat boring test.

Ye Bo found an extremely hidden vision gap in the river while standing in the most commonly used "Long Snake Formation".

As long as there is displacement.

You can avoid the gap in the river vision!
Graves entered the blue zone and first placed a ward in the blue BUFF bush.

Then he didn't stop at all and continued to move towards the three wolves!
"Turtle, Jiejie sneaked into the jungle again without anyone noticing and placed a ward that the opponent was completely unaware of. This way, Xiaohuasheng's jungle route should be detected again."

"Bu right!?"

"It seems like he wants to do more than just poke an eye!"

When the commentator saw Graves walking towards the other side's three wolves, he was reluctant to press the return button, which clearly showed that he had no intention of leaving.

Everyone looked shocked.

Peanut, who was totally unaware of the situation, carefully placed a ward in the grass above the river before leaving, guarding against a possible level 2 counter-jungle attack by Graves.

Then he went straight to the blue buff to start jungling.

It is much easier for Sejuani to fight against Graves in the jungle than Maokai, especially in the early stage. Her melee ability can be said to be not inferior to Graves.

The armor bonus of [True Man] has no effect on resisting Sejuani's magic damage, and the passive pig skin can dodge most of the male gun's two bullets and shotgun burst!

As long as he is not caught off guard, Xiaohuasheng doesn't worry about the male gun coming against him.

But what he didn't know was.

Just a short distance below, there was a male gunner who was fighting wild monsters in sync with him.

A single blue.

A single open three wolves.

"Wow, little Peanut didn't notice anything at all! And the speed of hitting the blue buff is definitely much slower than the three wolves!"

"Jiejie has already reached level 2 first, and has quietly reached the wall. There's actually only one wall between him and Zhu Mei! It's time to fight for punishment!"

Just like Kayn's sudden E to punish before.

It was a deliberate plan, and with the vision under her feet providing information on the health of wild monsters at any time, it was not difficult to deal the punishment, not to mention that Pig Girl was not prepared to deal the punishment at all.

Just as the piggy raised his whip, a punishment came crashing down from the sky!
"Ah!?" Peanut's eyes widened as he watched the blue BUFF disappear before his eyes.

"Axi!"

He couldn't understand why the male gunner could reach this position.

But the level 2 male gunner had already started beating the drowning pig, chasing the pig girl's butt and shooting her with a shotgun!

It is impossible for Sejuani to learn Q jungle at level 1.

Facing the pursuit of the level 2 Graves, he couldn't open up the distance at all, and finally he could only use Flash to forcefully pull away!

The male gun did not pursue forcefully, but turned around and continued to eat the wild monsters.

"A successful level 1 design! An unexpected and bold design! This is the EDG we are familiar with!"

"Back! Everyone is back!"

The Haier Brothers on the LPL commentary desk were delighted.

"GEN is off to a bad start! Sejuani is about to lose a piece of the jungle area right at the start, and she also has a flash!"

"Jiejie experienced Uncle San's jungle invasion in the quarterfinals. It seems that he will dump all the humiliation of the quarterfinals on Peanut!"
