Chapter 286: Kaisa Division! Destroying the Earth with Efforts 20!
On the afternoon of July 7, a little while before four o'clock, the scene at Dalian Sports Center was already filled with a tense and enthusiastic atmosphere.
The audience was excited and looked forward to the start of this peak showdown.
At this moment, passionate music sounded in the venue, and the promotional video of the decisive battle between LPL and LCK began to play on the big screen.
In the picture, ships in Dalian Port are sailing on the blue sea, and the prosperous scenery of the city flashes by one by one. Finally, the camera slowly moves from the periphery of the gymnasium building into the center of the venue.
Xiao Gou's firm voice was the first to come out from the big screen: "We have reached the final battle, LPL cannot relax at all."
That tone was like cheering up all LPL players and fans, letting everyone know the importance of this game.
Then, the camera turned to the old captain Score. He had a firm gaze and a tone full of determination: "This is an opportunity to defeat LPL, we will seize it firmly." It was as if he was announcing LCK's ambitions to the world.
Kiin's voice followed: "We have been through the knockout stage to get to this day, we will restore the glory of LCK!" His voice was full of desire for victory, and also showed the confidence accumulated by LCK after the knockout stage.
Of course, he is also the first glory brother in the LCK region
The factory manager's calm voice rang out: "LPL was also the champion in last year's Intercontinental Championship. Of course we have to defend the title this time." As a veteran of LPL, his words carry the mission of LPL to continue its glory.
……
The great devil Faker showed a sharp look and said calmly: "No matter which team LCK meets, the important thing is to win the game, establish an advantage for the team, and get the key point." His words are always so concise and powerful, making people feel his persistence in victory.
Finally, Li Yi appeared in the camera, his eyes firm and full of fighting spirit: "This time we have only one goal, to keep the Intercontinental Championship in the country! Continue to be the strongest in Asia!" His words were like a reassurance, making the LPL fans at the scene excited.
As the camera zoomed out, the lights suddenly dimmed and the entire stadium fell silent. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the official start of this e-sports extravaganza. It seemed as if even the air had frozen. Everyone knew that a battle to determine who would win the glory was about to begin!
The spotlight instantly focused on the SKT players, who stood tall and straight, with confidence and sternness in their eyes that came from years of experience.
Captain Faker raised his chin slightly, his signature calm expression hiding his determination to win. The screams and shouts of the fans below the stage instantly intertwined into a boiling ocean.
Then, another screen opened, and members of the AFs team filed out. They walked with powerful steps and stood closely together, showing full team cooperation. Their determined eyes seemed to announce their ambitions to everyone.
As the LCK teams made their debuts one after another, the atmosphere on the scene became increasingly heated. Ren Dong raised his voice and shouted excitedly: "Now, let's invite the LPL teams to the stage!"
The first to walk out was the EDG team. The players were full of energy, with the youthful vigor and drive. The purple cheering sticks at the scene were waved even more vigorously, and the fans shouted their names at the top of their lungs, with deafening cheers.
Afterwards, the IG team walked onto the stage in neat steps. Captain rookie had a determined look, which caused the fans in the audience to scream wildly and applaud loudly.
The LPL teams took the stage one by one, and the appearance of each team pushed the atmosphere to a new climax.
On the stage, Ren Dong's penetrating voice sounded again, with waves of voices rising higher and higher: "Let's welcome LPL's No. 1 seed. GT!"
In an instant, the venue was like a lit powder keg. Cheers came like a tidal wave, one after another, without any sign of stopping. The surging popularity seemed to overturn the entire sports center.
Immediately afterwards, Ren Dong also raised his neck and shouted with all his might: "Welcome.GT~~~!!"
Every syllable was filled with enthusiasm and expectation. In his own way, he gave the highest honor to the GT team without reservation. Under the background of this warm atmosphere, the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to another boiling point.
When all the teams had taken their positions, Ren Dong spoke again: "At this moment, all the teams are in place. The battle for the strongest team in Asia is about to begin! Summoners, are you ready to witness this glorious moment?"
As soon as the words fell, an overwhelming response broke out at the scene again. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the flames of this peak showdown to ignite.
Ren Dong stood on the stage, his eyes sparkling, his voice carried throughout the Dalian Sports Center through the microphone: "The championship podium is already in the center of the stage. Next, let us invite the LPL representative from the last Intercontinental Championship to return the trophy."
Then, he took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: "Welcome.sease~!!!"
In an instant, the large screens around seemed to have been switched on at the same time, and the images were all switched to Li Yi holding the Intercontinental Championship trophy.
Below the stage, the cheers and shouts of the audience surged, interweaving with the suddenly passionate background music on the stage. The sound waves were deafening, as if they were going to break through the dome of the sports center.
The stage special effects are dazzling, clearly dividing the positions of the LCK and LPL teams into the red and blue sides, as if they are two camps about to engage in a fierce battle.
At this moment, Li Yi moved forward steadily. The path under his feet seemed to be the river in Summoner's Rift. Every step he took was steady and powerful.
Finally, he walked to the center of the stage and solemnly placed the silver-gray Intercontinental Championship trophy, which was shaped like a tornado, on the stage. The trophy shone with dazzling light under the lights.
As the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to its climax, the competition was about to officially begin.
Ren Dong couldn't contain his excitement and announced loudly: "Next, let's look forward to the exciting match of the first game! The LPL team is RNG!"
In an instant, cheers and shouts merged into one in the venue, and the RNG team name was shouted repeatedly by fans, with the voices getting louder and louder.
Today's RNG team is like a giant ship sailing steadily in the rough waves, giving people a full sense of security.
In the entire LPL region, they are the most stable team besides GT. The players are in peak condition, and their performance in domestic competitions is only slightly inferior to GT.
Giving the first game to RNG undoubtedly carries the expectations of everyone in the LPL region. Everyone hopes that they can get off to a good start and get a good start in this intercontinental competition.
The strategic layout behind this is actually very clever. As long as RNG can win the first game, it will be like one foot has already stepped into the championship for the LPL region, and it can even boldly declare that the LPL region is already the champion of this intercontinental game.
After all, even if the other two teams unfortunately lose, with the strength of the GT team, it will not be a problem for them to win a game. In the subsequent extra games, the LPL region is still very confident that it will defeat the LCK region with a score of 3 to 2.
Under such circumstances, the psychological advantage quietly took root in the LPL region.
On the other hand, if the LCK region wants to win the championship trophy of this intercontinental championship, they must defeat the tough nut of the GT team, otherwise the dream of winning the championship will be shattered.
At this moment, the two sides were on the verge of a fight. The RNG players were already sitting in their game seats, concentrating on debugging the equipment, their eyes full of determination and confidence, as if they had already secured victory in this game.
The audiences in the audience also held their breath and stared at the big screen.
The LCK region sent SKT.
Although they are the fourth seed, their ceiling is the world finals champion because they have Faker in the team!
With the presence of this triple crown winner, no one dares to underestimate this team.
Because you don’t know if he will explode in the next game.
When the coaches from the LCK region saw this match, they finally felt relieved. The reason was simple: SKT's winning rate remained 100% when facing RNG.
There are psychological advantages in this situation as well.
The chances of winning this game are very high.
But things are different now. The current RNG is no longer the RNG of the past, and this SKT is no longer the SKT of the past!
The difference in the states presented by the two sides is beyond everyone's imagination!
Before the game was about to start, no one could have expected that this much-anticipated contest would unfold with such a shocking plot.
With the BP interface on the big screen finalized.
The SKT lineup on the blue side is: Ornn on top, Shen on jungle, Azar on mid, and Xayah and Rakan on bottom lane.
The red team RNG is: top laner Crocodile, jungler Scorpion, mid laner Iron Man, bottom lane duo Kaisa and Titan. At 2 minutes and 17 seconds into the game, RNG's rhythm engine Kaisa showed a strong desire to attack and directly caught the bottom at level 2!
He first used his e skill to slow down the opponent, and then Titan accurately hooked Xia.
With the help of the burning damage of ignite, Uzi's Kaisa decisively took the first blood!
RNG's morale was boosted instantly. From this wave on, they firmly took the initiative in the early stage and the rhythm became smoother and smoother.
In the blink of an eye, the game was in progress for 13 minutes and 26 seconds, and the situation on the field was already one-sided, with the head-to-head ratio between the two sides fixed at 4:0.
At this time, Bang's Xayah was not only 40 last hits behind Uzi in terms of economy, but also gave away two kills in a row.
It has to be said that Bang, who is now in a slump, has long lost the strength of a top AD, but the SKT management still seems to have unrealistic fantasies about him and still keeps him in the starting position.
Facing Uzi, who he could once easily suppress, Bang is now unable to do so and makes frequent mistakes.
In less than 17 minutes, RNG was in high spirits and advanced all the way, directly attacking SKT's bottom lane high ground and pushing down the bottom lane crystal in no time.
The SKT players all looked solemn and were in a desperate situation.
However, the drama of the game suddenly unfolded at the dragon pit at 18 minutes.
At the critical moment, Faker's Tsar stood up. In the team battle in the dragon pit, he moved accurately, acted decisively, and used a perfect ultimate move!
This move stunned all RNG players and they successfully fought a one-for-three team battle. SKT was able to barely stop their decline.
When SKT fans saw this scene, they all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that perhaps with Faker's unstoppable team battle ability, the team still had a chance to drag the game back and try to make a comeback.
At this time, the Roaring Emperor in the commentary booth wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Believe in SKT!"
Thanks to Faker's magical performance of the perfect Tsar ultimate, SKT successfully stabilized the shaky situation, not only stopping the decline, but also regaining a lot of advantages.
The fire of hope was rekindled in the eyes of SKT fans, who felt that as long as the team could continue like this, they still had a great chance of turning the tables and winning the championship.
However, RNG will not sit idly by and give SKT time to breathe and adjust.
Just when everyone was guessing how RNG would respond, they made a bold tactical decision that made the entire audience gasp. In the 22nd minute, they directly forced a team fight with the Baron!
The five RNG players quickly gathered and approached the dragon pit.
Although this decision seems extremely risky, after all, the terrain near the dragon is complicated, coupled with the dragon's output, if you are not careful, the opponent may seize the flaw and lose the whole game.
But RNG dared to do this after careful consideration.
Their mid laner is Iron Man, a hero with a unique mechanism. Once Iron Man uses his ultimate to capture the enemy's key figure in a team battle, he can turn it into his own output.
Even if Kaisa's damage is slightly insufficient in the early stage, there is no need to worry at all with this tactical cooperation.
SKT had no choice but to come over and join the fight! Beside the Baron pit, the battle horn had already sounded.
The players from both RNG and SKT quickly entered into a fierce battle, the lights of their skills flashed constantly, and the Summoner's Rift was illuminated like daylight.
On the SKT side, although Faker's Tsar was still looking for opportunities and trying to replicate the ultimate move that turned the tide before, the RNG players were very cautious in their positioning and did not give Tsar any chance to take advantage.
The Iron Man on the RNG side is like a meat grinder on the battlefield, playing a vital role.
Karsa flashed and used his ultimate to drag Xia over.
Iron Man activated his ultimate skill and imprisoned Xayah's soul inside it. Under Iron Man's control, the enslaved Xayah's soul kept attacking the SKT players, and output damage for a long time.
During this period, SKT players tried to focus their fire on Iron Man and kill him instantly, but Iron Man, under the protection of his teammates and relying on his own tankiness and resistance, stood tenaciously on the battlefield and continued to exert pressure.
At the same time, uzi controlled Kaisa to flexibly shuttle around the edge of the battlefield, looking for the best output position.
He keenly captured the gap that appeared at the output point behind SKT, and with a decisive move, he quickly ran to the back of SKT.
At this time, SKT had insufficient output points and most of its energy was occupied by Iron Man, so it was unable to stop Kaisa's crazy output in time.
Kaisa's skills fell like raindrops, and combined with basic attacks, she instantly killed the Tsar!
The audience witnessed this scene and burst into deafening cheers. Under Kaisa's fierce attack, he easily got a triple kill!
SKT players showed despair on their faces...
uzi stood up from his position and let out a roar.
Win! The curse of many years was finally broken, and they successfully defeated SKT!
From SKT to GT...is it far away?
As the afterglow of RNG's victory over SKT in the first game was still lingering on the court, the second game quickly kicked off with IG facing KZ.
This match was full of tension from the early stages of the game, and both sides seemed to be holding back their energy to decide the winner in Summoner's Rift.
As soon as the game started, the two sides frequently clashed in the wild area and on the line. The number of kills increased alternately, and the heartbeats of the audience on the scene accelerated with every kill.
The IG team seemed to be particularly adaptable to this intense fighting rhythm. Relying on tacit cooperation and bold decision-making, they gradually took the initiative in the game.
Before they knew it, the economic panel showed that IG was 6,000 ahead of KZ, which surprised the LPL fans at the scene and they cheered one after another.
Twenty minutes into the game, the situation of the KZ team took a sharp turn for the worse and they completely collapsed.
IG was like a group of hunters with a keen sense of smell, chasing after every mistake made by KZ. And Ashui's Kaisa was like a fish in water in this game, developing very smoothly, getting three sets of equipment early, and the damage was terrifying.
Twenty-five minutes later, IG gathered together and successfully took down the Baron.
With the Baron Buff, they charged towards KZ's high ground with great momentum. Ashui's Kaisa took the lead, moving flexibly and dancing on KZ's high ground.
I saw the Kaisa in his hand constantly releasing skills, brilliant rays of light flashed, and instantly killed many KZ players.
The audience stared with wide eyes, watching A Shui's wonderful operation, and burst into deafening cheers. Kai'Sa got a quad kill! At this moment, A Shui became the most dazzling star on the field.
In the commentary booth, the Roaring Emperor was shocked, his voice trembling, and he shouted in despair: "Kai'Sa Division! LPL is really a Kai'Sa division, every AD player's Kai'Sa is too scary!"
His words expressed everyone's thoughts. It seemed that the AD players of LPL all had unique talents in using the hero Kaisa.
Finally, at the twenty-seventh minute, KZ's base exploded under IG's overwhelming attack.
IG won another victory for the LPL region with a resounding victory.
2: 0!
The LPL region is only one step away from winning the Intercontinental Championship trophy! (End of this chapter)
