Chapter 123 - The Battle of the Four
In front of Big Ben, there was a lot of traffic and Smeb's voice rang out.

"I want to prove once again that Korean League of Legends teams are the best in the world. Yes, we can't say that easily anymore, but if anyone is going to recapture the glory of Korea, I want it to be my team."

Smeb looked into the distance under the night sky with a determined gaze.

At MSI, EDG defeated SKT. At IEM5, KOO lost to WE, the second-to-last team in LPL. Aluka said, "There are eleven teams better than us."

The past events are still vivid in their minds, spurring them to keep moving forward every moment.

"Congratulations to IG! They advanced to the next round as the first in the group!!"

"Congratulations to IG for defeating KT and advancing to the next round with a perfect record in the group stage!"

The background sound of IG's winning streak and the commentary suddenly sounded. Yuan Shen was standing in the distance of the Summoner's Trophy. Behind him was the fifth-ranked cathedral in the world, St. Paul's Cathedral.

In front of the arched hall supported by square stone pillars, decorated with heavy golden paintings, stained glass windows and huge murals of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and apostles on the walls, Yuan Shen said softly: "This is my first time on the stage of the World Championship. We have no past and no honor, but this also means that every step forward we take is creating history. LPL has no glory, but I am the glory!"

In six consecutive games, the five heroes used by Yuan Shen appeared one after another.

Noxus, Crocodile, Garen, Fiora, and Riven lined up in a row.

"I want others to see how we beat legends step by step, become legends, prove ourselves, and prove that the LPL region is the best in the world. Even if we are just a summer meteor, a flash in the pan, we will burst out with the most dazzling light and shock the world."

At 221b Baker Street, in front of the Sherlock Holmes Museum, OG's top laner sister-in-law stepped onto the stairs, step by step, just as they were indomitable in the group stage, defeating KT and ending their dream of qualifying.

“Many people said that we advanced to the quarterfinals by relying on others’ slackness, but on this stage, I will prove my strength.”

As night falls, the lights are bright and people are moving quickly on the street.

In front of the Tower Bridge, the unique elegance of the Victorian era was clearly revealed, and the figures of Huni and Ou Cheng appeared.

"We are the world champions of S1, but the world has forgotten us for too long. We will do our best in this world championship. If we beat SKT, we can restore the glory of FNC!"

On the south bank of the Thames, on the rooftop of The Shard, Faker's figure slowly appeared.

"SKT is an extraordinary team. We have reached the peak and fallen to the bottom, but now we are standing here."

The BGM instantly became higher, and Faker always stood at the highest point, never looking back, and never stepping down from the throne.

"If you want to become stronger, then the easiest way is to defeat me."

A simple sentence, showing your domineering power!
As the top eight teams appeared one by one, all the audience at the scene cheered.

The BGM ended and the camera switched, and the bustling scene outside the Wembley Stadium flashed by. After cutting back to the stadium, thousands of spectators waved their arms and the scene instantly became boiling!
On the first day of the quarterfinals, SKT faced FNC.

The battle between the top seeds from South Korea and Europe!

"Who do you think will win?"

Rookie looked at Yuan Shen.

They spent a lot of time shooting promotional videos these days, and actually didn't spend much time on training.

Fortunately, they are competing on the last day and have a few days to adjust their condition.

"Although I hope FNC can win, but...SKT, after returning from MSI, SKT seems to have become a different team. They are very strong now, and everyone can carry. They have always been our biggest rival, and I am looking forward to the final with them."

Yuan Shen shrugged, not feeling that his words were disrespectful to KOO at all.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

And the result of the game was just as they expected.

Facing SKT, FNC had almost no ability to fight back.

Huni used three heroes: Riven, Fiora and Lulu, while MaRin only used one hero from beginning to end.

That's Rambo.

"Huni has improved a lot compared to the group stage, but it's still not enough. If they didn't meet SKT in the first round, maybe his performance would be better in the next few rounds, and FNC would have a better chance."

Mingkai saw it very clearly.

Both FNC and Huni have improved a lot compared to before.

If FNC faces LGD again now, it is hard to say who will win or lose.

The World Championships are a great training ground for the players.

"I can't help it. It's my fate."

Yuan Shen didn't think it was a big deal. During the World Championship, everyone was making progress.

Among the top eight teams, FNC may be only slightly better than EDG.

But the current EDG, the EDG in our memory, has also improved a lot.

"We have to ban Rumble when playing against MaRin. He is too skilled. Even if we don't have an advantage in the laning phase, he can still cause us a lot of trouble in teamfights."

Fumanduo's voice sounded, he also watched the global videos of SKT and FNC.

It's a pity that FNC was not able to beat SKT more.

SKT still maintained the BP habit of banning Malphite on the blue side, which made Fumanduo doubt that they really didn't know how to play Malphite.

SKT has always had this habit during the group stage.

Or maybe, they have too many ban slots?
Their opponents must take on the responsibility of banning the hero Ryze.

Only Rookie and Faker can use this hero in the entire world championship.

In addition to Captain Iron Man, there are Ryze, Lulu, Spider, and even Rumble...

Six classes are indeed not enough.

On October 10, OG defeated FW.

FW, who had shined in BO1 and became the vanguard against Korea, became unplayable in BO5.

The steak in the top position became a complete breakthrough point. My sister-in-law inserted it fiercely and stirred it wildly, causing FW to twitch from time to time and feel uncomfortable all over.

IG's game is on the last day.

On October 10, LGD faced EDG.

Yuan Shen had already predicted the outcome of this game.

But domestic audiences are full of expectations.

EDG and LGD have never met in the playoffs before.

Instead, they played a game in the bubble match.

That time LGD defeated EDG.

And this time, there should be no problem, right?

However, they still thought too well.

LGD on the blue side was unstoppable. When EDG actively released Malphite, they banned it themselves without even looking at Malphite.

Not to mention when on the red side, Iron Man and Gangplank banned the position to buy a house, not giving the opponent any chance to use these two heroes or match these two heroes.

After all, Imp is really not an iron man.

They knew this news during the group stage training.

Sharing what you have can sometimes help your opponent gain a better understanding of you.

It is risky in itself.

LGD defeated EDG 3 to 1.

Successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

And the final battle is about to break out.

This battle received the most attention.

The only civil war between China and South Korea in the quarterfinals!
If IG can win, they will face LGD in the semi-finals.

Advance to the finals to face SKT.

If IG loses, then this World Championship may become a Korean civil war.

if that is the case……

Yuan Shen didn't dare to think about it, he just wanted to win.
