Chapter 251 1643! Close to the winner group! Only 1 opponent!
Chapter 251 1643! Close to the winner group! The only opponent!
Millions of viewers around the world cheered and screamed as the crystal exploded.
Not only for the result of this much anticipated BO5 match, but also for being immersed in the visual shock that has not yet dissipated!
"It's over!" I remember shouting at the top of my lungs.
"Too violent! So exciting! This is a match that belongs exclusively to V5! This is a performance that belongs exclusively to Master Ye! This kind of match can only be seen in his games!"
Guan Zeyuan was also shouting excitedly: "A wave of killing in 16 minutes and 43 seconds, three consecutive games are the direction that no one could have predicted!"
"This should be the first tragedy of this MSI, right? Remember, this is T1!"
Rita seemed to be still a little confused as she clapped her hands. Thirty seconds ago, she thought that the tense and stalemate game would suddenly end, and she still didn't understand the final mutation.
Many people were in the same daze as her, with only their instinctive emotions left about the outcome of the game.
Guan Zeyuan received a reminder and confirmation from the director in his headphones.
"That's right! This game is the record-breaking battle under the new 2023 MSI competition system!"
"It's just the first game since coming to MSI! V5 has already broken the record set by T1 in the play-in round, leading by a full 7 seconds!"
"This game also holds the second shortest record in the history of the MSI Mid-Season Championship."
At this point, Guan Zeyuan's smile became even more intense, and the two people next to him also smiled inexplicably.
This is because the director just mentioned one thing in the headphones of the three people - in the historical records of MSI, T1 was the protagonist in all the first three games with the shortest time!
Ranked third is the 1 minutes and 16 seconds that T50 played against Europe's second seed MAD in the qualifying round not long ago.
At that time, this record was praised by many T1 fans.
Even though he was only playing against the second seed from Europe, being able to set such a "speed run" record in this version is indeed more impressive than the records in the ancient versions.
However, unexpectedly, a new record was created in just a few days!
And one is playing against MAD, and the other is playing against T1!
The value of this is different!
Of course, Guan Zeyuan didn't dare to mention this matter here, as it would only cause trouble for the T1 fans who had nowhere to vent their anger.
But the people in the live broadcast room naturally understood what the second half of the sentence meant, and everyone started to comment.
[It's really hard to guess who takes the shortest time! ]
[Got it. Given that V5 can speed through T1, and T1 can speed through MAD, we can conclude that MAD≈T1! ]
[Don’t be so mean, this is us T1, we can easily take the top three records in history! This is the real triple crown! ]
[Waiyi is so mean! You win if you want, but you have to steal chickens at the end! You have to give T1 a pig quarantine stamp on their butt, and leave some marks on Feifei's body! ]
[So T1 is going to the loser group? If they really go home in the first round, it would be better to give the spot to BLG and play the LPL playoffs again in MSI! ]
[Fuck, I don't dare to think about it. It would be too embarrassing to go home without winning a single international match. Don't even mention BLG. Even if you change Top Esports, he's better than him! ]
The director's camera moved to the contestants' seats.
The spotlights shone at full speed on the winner, and everyone in V5 jumped up from their seats in excitement.
As soon as they took off their noise-cancelling headphones, the sound waves created by tens of thousands of spectators came through the clouds and rocks, mixed with the passionate shouts of the English commentary on the scene.
Although Ye Bo could not understand what they were shouting, the surging emotions contained in them were definitely clearly audible.
Even though this is only their first game in this MSI.
But as long as the opponent is the team called T1, it will be very different - this is true for everyone.
"What the hell! We're 1-, T! What the hell!!" Xun jumped three feet high and ran directly to Ye Bo with a crazy look on his face, even a little incoherent.
"The last wave really made me dumbfounded. I didn't even see how you got there! The opponent was definitely scared to death! I was so stunned that I almost didn't react! I almost couldn't keep up with the damage. Master Ye is so powerful!"
"Master Ye! I want to play Neeko!"
In fact, even the V5 teammates did not expect the final wave of team fight from behind.
Even before the action took place, they only saw Ye Bo running around and did not notice when the other party reached the high ground!
Everyone just does their own job and stands guard at their own post.
Then, upon hearing the other party's command, they immediately follow "blindly".
"Xiao Xun, you just held back the whales and monsters and won T1~" Beryl's mouth couldn't help but rise, but she pretended not to care: "Can you be more steady like me and He Kui?"
Deft couldn't help but look at Ye Bo, gave him a thumbs up, and blurted out a very clear and melodious word.
"Awesome."
Saint Spear embraced the excited Xun and joked: "You are still young, I am used to it. When you see this kind of operation in the future, you must silently say in your heart: these are just Master Ye's basic operations~"
At the urging of the referee, everyone stood up and went to the opposite contestant seat.
All the members of T1 had ugly expressions, and they were acting out all kinds of faces in their seats.
Although he did not break the "glorious history" created by his predecessors, such a miserable record appeared in his career and will never be erased in this lifetime.
It is undoubtedly a very uncomfortable thing.
Zeus, who was at the very edge, took a deep breath while looking up at the sky while sitting on his chair. His face was painful and his mouth was slightly open, as if he had said two words.
Since his debut last year, the outside world has called him a "genius boy". He reached the peak right after his debut. He joined the recognized strongest team right after his debut and became one of the core members of the team.
But since then.
In fact, he has been suffering from "failure" all the time!
In the 22 MSI, they lost to RNG, in the summer finals, they lost to Dolan, in the S game, they lost to Kingen, in the 23 spring finals, they lost to Dolan again, and in the MSI, they were once again defeated by zero and three.
Runner-up, top four, runner-up, the highest is still runner-up!
For others, runner-up might be a great achievement - but for Zeus's goal and his team T1, runner-up is not worth mentioning at all.
This kind of experience is undoubtedly a huge test for one's mentality.
Some people may never recover from this and "change their form" to start playing with meat, turning into a "team-based" non-stick pan style.
However, if we can get through it, perhaps we will see real progress.
Looking at Ye Bo walking towards him, Zeus was dazed and almost forgot to reach out his hand.
Oner, the silly brother at the back, had a dazed look in his eyes————because when he saw this face, the same “whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh” that had been ringing in his ears like a magic sound all the time seemed to resound in his mind.
Li Xianghe also took a deep breath, stood up and bumped fists with Ye Bo who came over.
The two looked at each other face to face again at close range.
The first meeting in 2023 was like being pulled back to Madison Square Garden, with deafening cheers still ringing in my ears.
But this time, the cheers still had nothing to do with them.
"sharp."
"come on!"
The conditions still did not allow for much communication, and the two of them only had a simple conversation in English with each other.
But from the look between the two, it was clear that they were both very sure that this would not be their last fight this year.
Ye Bo has this confidence because he clearly feels that T1 has not adapted well to this version. It can even be said that there are many problems, including Li Xianghe’s "personal problems"!
But even so, T1 still caused them countless troubles in the game, and the game process was definitely full of ups and downs.
Obviously this team is much more than that.
Li Xianghe has such confidence because he is sure that there is no problem with the five people in this team, and he also believes that the four young soldiers around him are far from their peak.
In fact, failure is not uncommon for Lee Sang-hyuk.
He shouldn't be feeling the way he is now.
This has been especially true in the past five years.
However, when facing this "opponent" again, Li Xianghe felt inexplicably complicated.
This person was very different from all the opponents he had faced in the past ten years.
He is sharp-edged, has brilliant ideas, and tries his best to push the opponent into a desperate situation, but he always finds a glimmer of hope in the cracks between the ruggedness, which brings people endless frustration.
It feels like you can never figure it out, you can't see the other person's upper limit or if there is an upper limit at all?
But to be honest.
Ye Bo's presence, on the contrary, stimulated Li Xianghe's inner energy several times.
That something that had been gone for many years.
Ye Bo's feeling was very accurate. In fact, Li Xianghe's hand injury relapsed at the end of the spring season. Since then, his operating state has obviously declined, which indirectly led to adjustments in his personal and team playing styles.
And at this moment.
Li Xianghe has never been so eager to get back to his former self. He wants to fight the opponent head-on in his peak condition.
Win or lose.
In Li Xianghe's heart, he has already regarded Ye Bo as the biggest and even the only "opponent" in his future career.
Even until the V5 members walked out of the contestant seats and returned to the center of the stage, his eyes were still fixed on that back, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
"Brother Xianghe, wait for the finals! We will play them in the MSI finals! We will definitely win then!" Aunt Yoshi's face was not so good.
Even though he had already been defeated, he still felt unwilling to accept it in his heart!
As for his personality traits, he is actually very similar to a certain LPL player with the surname B.
They all like to make big statements before the game, double down on their big statements after the game, and like to complain and make excuses. The only difference is that he is in T1.
But now it seems that there is no difference.
Lee Sang Hyuk was lost in thought and didn't hear what the other party was saying. However, his partner Keria, who was standing next to him, smiled bitterly when he heard what was said.
At least in this version.
If they can really make it to the finals of this MSI, Keria doesn't have much confidence.
For some reason, he could feel that Beryl's playing style had clearly not changed, but the next battle after joining V5 this year had become even more "scary".
Not just a little bit!
Keria's record in the BO5 match against Beryl is now 0-5, and it's really hard to have confidence.
But if you really want to say it.
What left the deepest impression on Keria was not this old "enemy", but the opposing mid laner.
He had never seen any mid-lane player who could suppress the "god in his heart" to this extent.
Even if we lost last year's S game, even if my hand injury recurred this year
The opponent's mid laner's operation was so horrific that he had never seen anything like it in his life!
In the ever-changing and chaotic team battle, this person was able to think of angles and ideas that others could never imagine, and use them with ease - it's incredible just to think about it!
I'm afraid that only Brother Xianghe, who is at his peak, can achieve this level?
Keria, who usually thinks his "operation" is better than everyone else in the support position, can't help but feel a little ashamed at this moment.
Brother Hekui, you made the choice this time.
The LCK live broadcast room is still filled with grief.
"Ah," the Roaring Emperor, who was watching the live broadcast, sighed dejectedly, "The most urgent thing is that T1 must cheer up immediately and can't be affected!"
"Now they have reached the edge of the cliff. The loser group can no longer afford to fail. The losers of JDG and GEN tomorrow will be difficult to deal with."
SKT's Wolf is full of confidence: "It's not a big problem. GEN will most likely win anyway!"
"JDG was defeated by V5 1- in the LPL finals. T will definitely win if JDG comes down. Then we can get revenge by entering the finals!"
What he said made sense, and Bang beside him immediately nodded in support of his partner: "Yes, T1 has always been a slow-starting team, and the loss at the beginning is no big deal!"
But, no matter how they try to "save face",
At this time, no other comments could be seen in the LCK live broadcast room.
True fans have already started to log off the Internet and flee in advance to avoid the coming storm of reckoning.
The live broadcast room barrage had already been filled with densely packed [1643][1643][1643]
After the fist bump, they returned to the stage and bowed to express their gratitude, and then the V5 members dispersed to various competition areas to be interviewed.
As the most dazzling player in this BO5 and also the most popular player in overseas regions, Ye Bo received an invitation from the local home court without any suspense.
When Ye Bo walked back to the center of the stage.
The cheers in the Copper Box Hall were deafening, the flashlights on the stands kept flashing, and tens of thousands of people in the audience once again spontaneously shouted:
"YE YES!"
"YE YES!!"
"YE YES!!!"
Local host James Dash walked onto the stage and waited for the enthusiastic voices to die down before he began to speak. His passionate voice continued to stir up emotions.
"Please welcome the three MVP winners of this game again! Mr. Magic YE from LPL! These three games are really exciting!"
There was another round of cheers and screams at the scene, and Ye Bo also waved enthusiastically to the audience.
However, European and American hosts have never liked to follow a routine.
The first question was obviously a bit provocative: "So, YE players, today you defeated T1 led by the legendary player Faker -. Did this meet your expectations before the game?"
After listening to the translation, Ye Bo nodded naturally: "It matches!"
"We V5 are the No. seed. It's only natural for the No. seed to beat the No. seed. I believe everyone thinks so too~"
Without "Mingkai's Gaze" this year, Ye Bo's interviews are becoming more and more free.
He is not the type of person who would deliberately say anything naughty.
Anyway, the point is “tell the truth”.
James was very cunning, and immediately followed up with a smile: "Oh!? In that case, in tomorrow's match between GEN and JDG, you are more optimistic about YE."
"Well, coming back to that," Ye Bo was attacked by the opponent, but he quickly responded.
"Because our LPL won the S game last year, the second seed may be better than the first seed, but it's hard to say~~"
Xia An, who was in charge of translating and relaying the message, visibly widened his eyes when he translated this sentence.
James and all the European and American audiences who heard the translation all made strange sounds such as "Oh~~~~".
They all look like they're enjoying the fun.
James excitedly asked, "So, YE thinks that the LPL is stronger than the LCK and that the LPL is the best region, right?"
After listening to the translation, Ye Bo looked puzzled.
He asked in a very "natural" way: "Isn't it?"
The audience and the host were all extremely excited, and there were noisy screams and shouts from the audience, as if they had heard something incredible.
Only the LCK fans who had not yet left the venue had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.
【Turtle! Master Ye! The soldiers came out to steal the account! 】
[Haha, winning a BO5 is really awesome! T1 hasn’t lost yet! This is really annoying! ]
[Ouch? The tadpole is looking for his mother again~]
【1557！1643！1557！1643！1557！1643！】
[Telling the truth is called showing off? I wonder how anyone dares to output against the odds. Why don't they just run away with their tail between their legs when it's 3-0? ]
[You don’t understand, Tieba and Hupu are about to start a global reckoning, and I have nowhere else to run so I can only come to the live broadcast room to shout~]
To be honest, Ye Bo's reaction was not just pretense.
Based on surfing experience, hasn’t it always been the case that whoever wins the latest S-League championship is the number one region?
After finishing his work, James finally became serious: "Okay, now that we are talking about this, who do you think will win tomorrow, YE? Or, who do you personally want to beat more?"
Ye Bo raised the microphone again and said without thinking: "Then you must want to fight both. Why do you have to choose~"
This abstract answer immediately caused the barrage to fill up with [Two? Ten! Fight ten! ]
Of course, Ye Bo also added: "With Viper and JDG, both sides are old friends, it should be very interesting to play against each other."
James then asked several more questions about the game.
Undoubtedly, it's all about what everyone cares about most, the dazzling operations in the game.
For example, Titan's change of direction shockwave in the first game, Lee Sin's super-dimensional dragon tail swing in the second game, and Neeko's seventy-two transformations in the third game.
"Because the skill text is very clear and there is no ambiguity, Neeko is still 'Neeko' after transformation, but she has the attributes of the transformed unit, so the defense tower is indeed Neeko who searches for enemies, but with the added attribute of the sports car, so it cannot be killed. Well, this is probably the logic of the artillery car resisting the tower, I don't think it should be considered a bug."
"Ha, actually it's not difficult to find these things. You can figure them out by just entering the training mode and trying for a few hours~"
“As for other operations, if you are interested, you can pay attention to the video account produced by our club, which will review and explain these operations~”
Ye Bo chatted freely on the stage and, in front of the live broadcast room, recommended a video account of his own club, which had received extremely good feedback, to fans around the world.
The audience in the audience may not all understand what is being said.
But they all listened with great interest.
"What a shame. He actually tested it out this way." Brother KC sighed as he took a selfie with his back to the phone and the stage.
"What do you think about the idea he just mentioned, about adding the speed of time flow to the training mode?" Brother Sanhuan seemed to show an interested look.
"Boss, are you serious?" CT asked in surprise, "If you ask me for my opinion, I definitely agree with it! I've long said that the training mode is too restrictive and not open enough!"
"Oh, have you become a fan of his like Colon?"
"Watt? What are you talking about! I have always been a devout YE fan!"
"By the way, what was the name of the account he just mentioned?"
