Chapter 273 KZ caused us a lot of trouble
In the GT team's player booth, at the moment of victory, Li Yi and others stood up from their seats in unison.
Although it was only the semi-finals of the mid-season tournament, his face was still filled with joy.
"We won!" That shout burst out from the bottom of their hearts, carrying with it endless joy and pride.
KZ... the new king of the LCK Spring Season, doesn’t seem to be very strong, a thrilling 3-0 victory.
"Well done, brothers!" Li Yi's words were full of praise and affirmation for his teammates.
Wushuang couldn't stop laughing. He laughed loudly and shouted excitedly: "Haha, this was such a great game. I feel like Peanut is indeed stronger than last year."
At this point, he paused, his eyes revealing a hint of the sharpness of a professional player, and continued, "But his biggest problem now is that the strength of the mid lane is not as good as Brother Yi!"
At this moment, Wushuang unconsciously revealed the demeanor of an old senior.
Ever since winning the World Championship, his entire temperament has changed, and he is already at a different height compared to those players who have yet to reach the top.
Take the super popular domestic player uzi for example. If the two are compared together, except for uzi’s loyal fans who will vote for their idol unswervingly, most people will vote for Wushuang.
Because the global finals champion is truly more important than anything else.
The gap in honor cannot be made up by popularity.
If the gap in honors can be made up by popularity, then there is no need to play the game and just award the championship to RNG.
Li Yi listened to Wushuang's words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
He raised his hand, patted Wushuang's shoulder gently, and said gently: "Stop playing tricks, shake hands."
"Hahaha, Brother Yi, I'm so excited here. I feel the game is quite easy." Wushuang nodded.
The other people also calmed down their excited emotions.
So, the players calmed down their emotions, and walked towards their opponents with the joy of victory, ready to shake hands after the game.
When the GT team defeated the KZ team with a score of 3:0, it was as if a powerful bomb of joy was ignited in the Zenith Stadium. The cheers broke out like a surging tsunami, and the momentum was simply terrifying.
The entire venue seemed to be shaken by an invisible yet powerful force, and the air was slightly trembling because of the deafening sound.
Looking around, this originally neutral stadium has now become the exclusive home of the GT team. The audience's enthusiasm poured out without reservation, and they did not hesitate to applaud and cheer. Every applause used up all their strength, and every cheer burst out from the bottom of their lungs.
When the camera swept across the audience like a nimble bird, in an instant, countless figures stood up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
They were seen holding tightly in their hands cheering boards covered with various slogans. Those cheering boards seemed to be given life, waving wildly in the hands of the audience, as if shouting in unison their love and support for the GT team.
"GT, invincible!"
"sease, the strongest!"
“GT, keep going!”
The various colorful slogans sparkled under the lights, like a gorgeous sea of flowers blooming in the gymnasium.
In these three games, the GT team used their superb operations, tacit cooperation and unwavering tactical execution, like a shining blade, accurately piercing the opponent's defense and deeply conquering the hearts of every European audience present.
From the laning suppression in the top lane, to the clever roaming in the middle lane, to the exquisite coordination in the bottom lane, and the elusive appearance in the jungle, every move of the GT team made the audience fascinated and excited.
They witnessed Li Yi turning the tide in the middle, as well as the wonderful performances of other players in their respective positions.
These games have become indelible classics in the hearts of the audience, and have also allowed the GT team to successfully gain countless fans in this European land.
When the GT team walked towards the KZ team's player seat with confident and brisk steps, a sharp and almost glaring contrast formed between the two sides.
On the KZ team's side, the atmosphere was as depressing as the silence before a storm. Except for Bdd, the other players all looked like they were hit hard by the hammer of fate, with masks of pain on their faces.
Khan, whose usually flamboyant look on the field was now completely shrouded in gloom, clenched his teeth, his facial muscles twitching slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress his inner resentment and anger.
He subconsciously clenched his hands into fists and pressed them tightly against his thighs. The veins on the back of his hands bulged, highlighting the tremendous torment he was experiencing at the moment.
Little Peanut's eyes were full of confusion and loss, and the lively and fighting look of the past was gone.
He lowered his head, his bangs covering most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression, but his slightly trembling shoulders revealed his inner sadness.
The loss of this game completely ruined his carefully planned jungle tactics. He might be blaming himself for not being able to do better and lead the team to victory.
Lost to GT again, I'm sorry, Xianghe, I couldn't do it.
On the other hand, when the game ended, Bdd's expression was unexpectedly calm.
He leaned back slightly, leaned back on the gaming chair, slowly exhaled a long breath, and his eyes revealed a kind of relief.
He had endured too much pressure during this entire game. The huge disadvantage in the mid lane and the heavy burden of the team's defeat were all like huge rocks pressing on his heart.
Now that the game is over, even though it ended in failure, for him, it was like finally taking off a heavy shackle.
He no longer needs to bear tremendous psychological pressure every time he makes an operation, and no longer needs to rack his brains to find opportunities to turn the tide in every team battle.
However, for the other KZ players, this loss was undoubtedly an absolute shame.
They know very well that what they carry on their shoulders is not only personal honor, but also the expectations of the entire LCK region.
For a long time, the LCK region has stood proudly as the king in the world of League of Legends and is recognized as the strongest region.
They have won the championship trophy countless times in international competitions and written their own glorious chapters. But now, they have failed in the semi-finals of the mid-season tournament, and the road to promotion is also full of twists and turns. They barely made it to this point in an extremely shameful way.
Now they were even swept by the GT team without winning a single game. This was an unacceptable reality for them who were so proud and used to victory and glory. How could they laugh?
Everyone seemed to be nailed to the pillar of shame, filled with disappointment in themselves and guilt towards their fans.
After the handshake, all GT members left the battle seat immediately.
For GT, there was no need to pay any attention to the losers, so they came to the center of the stage at the first opportunity to express their gratitude to the audience who supported them.
In Riot's official live broadcast room, the huge screen was showing the GT players receiving warm applause from the audience in the center of the stage.
At this time, the commentators in the commentary booth could no longer contain their excitement and turned on their microphones, allowing their voices to spread through the airwaves to every corner of the world.
"The powerful GT! They won the semi-finals, 3:0, in a crushing victory!" The chief commentator's voice was so loud and passionate that it seemed to break through the ceiling of the studio.
His eyes were fixed on the screen, his face full of amazement and admiration, as if he was still immersed in the intense game that had just happened.
Every word is full of recognition for the strength of the GT team. The last time he expressed such emotion was when he was at SKT, which won three world finals championships.
Another commentator took over the conversation, his eyes flashing with insight into the game situation: "They are only one step away from the mid-season championship. No matter which of the Flash Wolves and FNC in the lower half is the final winner, they will be under tremendous pressure when facing GT, because GT is the strongest team of this era! They have to sprint for their second consecutive mid-season championship!"
Amid the commentators' constant exclamations of admiration, the atmosphere among the audience became increasingly heated.
Because after the game, the following interview session was also extremely exciting.
In the center of the stage of the Zenith Arena, the lights focused on Li Yi like a spotlight.
At this time, the host Sjokz came forward with a smile, the microphone in her hand seemed to connect the curiosity of e-sports fans all over the world. She tilted her head slightly and handed the microphone to Li Yi. Her clear and pleasant voice echoed in the stadium: "sease, can you comment on KZ's performance?"
Li Yi's eyes were calm and peaceful. After thinking for a moment, he spoke calmly: "They are very strong and caused us a lot of trouble. We thought about the tactical arrangements for a long time before the start of the game." His words were concise and clear, and his tone was calm.
Once these words were translated, the audience was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
The game scene involuntarily emerged in everyone's mind: KZ team fought hard against GT team, but failed to stop GT's progress. They lost in the semi-finals with a score of 0-3, and in the group stage, they were swept by GT 2-0. In total, KZ team lost all five games against GT and could not win a single one.
The audience laughed and exchanged glances with each other, understanding each other's meaning.
Li Yi's seemingly modest comments are actually quite sharp. In the world of e-sports, strength is the right to speak, and the GT team has proven its dominance with victory after victory.
Compared with bluntly saying that the opponent is not good, this implicit expression is more clever and dexterous, like a needle hidden in cotton, making it difficult for the opponent to refute, but at the same time, it shows absolute confidence and strength between the lines.
The audience's cheeks flushed with excitement. This game not only witnessed the strength of the GT team, but also allowed them to appreciate Li Yi's unique linguistic charm.
On the stage of the Zenith Arena, Li Yi's interview with Sjokz lasted three and a half minutes.
During this short but meaningful time, Sjokz asked many questions in succession, covering aspects such as game strategy, teamwork and outlook for subsequent games.
Li Yi remained calm throughout and answered the questions clearly and logically. Each of his answers not only demonstrated his deep understanding of the game, but also revealed his composure and confidence as the core of the team.
As the interview came to an end, the shocking result of GT team sweeping KZ team was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves in the e-sports circle, and the discussion topic about GT team has exploded.
Looking back at the past two seasons, the personnel changes of the GT team have always attracted much attention. From the initial lineup adjustment to the current players in all positions performing with ease, they are like a thriving sapling, gradually maturing and flourishing.
In this mid-season tournament, Li Yi's personal data was dazzling. His laning pressure in the middle lane, his key output in team battles, and his precise control of the situation all became important guarantees for GT's victory.
However, the strength of the GT team is not just due to Li Yi's strength. On the field, every player showed an excellent competitive level.
Whether it is theshy who has returned to the top lane, his extremely aggressive laning style and fearless ability to start team fights make opponents tremble with fear.
It was the new AD Lin Weixiang in the bottom lane. His steady development in the laning phase, as well as his clever use of the output environment and precise output in team battles, also performed remarkable.
In game after game, whether it is a fierce online confrontation or a life-and-death game in a team battle, there are always players who can stand up and carry the banner of the team.
This kind of team performance with strong members has ignited endless imagination in the hearts of domestic audiences.
They can't help but wonder, with the current strong strength of the GT team, can they dominate the next games, overcome all obstacles, and win all the global finals championships?
If this is true, it will undoubtedly be a grand carnival for fans of the LPL region. The joy and pride are enough to make people feel happy just thinking about it.
The LCK region is now like a tiger with all its teeth pulled out.
Under the current circumstances, shouldn't we promote all the strongest players in the country to one team?
Only in this way can we defeat GT.
Otherwise, we would have been suppressed by LPL until now.
The game is over, and all attention has been drawn away.
So no one cares about Flash Wolves and FNC in the lower half of the group.
Of course, FNC is still better than Flash Wolves.
After all, this is their home ground, and many Europeans come to support them during the game.
But the strength is there. They originally thought that GT was their biggest rival for the championship. However, GT, whom they had studied for so long, was slapped to death by Flash Wolves!
That’s right, Flash Wolves demonstrated a very strong tactical system.
It took them four games to easily defeat FNC and advance to the finals with a score of 3 to 1.
Everyone understood at a glance that Flash Wolves were more fully prepared before the game.
But this also makes domestic audiences very excited.
Wow, now it’s the national team playing against the provincial team!
