Chapter 350-If miracles have colors, it must be...
“WE!!”
Commentator Miller was in tears: "WE!! Xiye!! They are fighting hard! They are fighting with all their might to turn the situation around in LPL! LPL! Live forever!! We are going to advance to the fifth game of the finals!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, WE was already advancing with unstoppable force. LZ took too long to resurrect, and two people were killed alone. WE was extremely aggressive, and took advantage of the difference in numbers on both sides to successfully push down LZ's crystal base!
The game time was frozen at 30 minutes, WE won the fourth game of the finals!
Revitalize the LPL region from the desperate situation!
"WE! Game 5! We were tasked with the task when the army was defeated and were ordered to act in times of crisis! WE, for IG and LPL, fought for the chance to reach the finals! Now, let's enter the finals together!! We still have a chance! We can still win the trophy!"
“LPL is awesome!!”
“WE is awesome!!”
The game is over, the whole network is going crazy!
WE hugged each other excitedly. Xiye raised his right hand and shouted crazily: "LPL!"
The five members of their team, even the usually calm Brother Tui, could not control his emotions, his eyes were red...
They did it!
"LPL! LPL! We won! We won! We really did it!"
This scene was extremely funny and hilarious. Seeing the WE team members so excited about this game, all the audience members were in tears!
"Well done!"
“No points lost!”
“So spirited!!”
"WE, when no one believed in you, you chose to believe in yourself and won the game. This is the way to become a hero! The game has come to the final decisive round! WE, we made it!"
Miller's eyes were red with excitement: "There is some to watch! Now the game has entered the fifth game, there is really some to watch, we still have a chance!!"
"Ahhhh!!"
The five WE members walked to the front of the stage with excitement on their faces, and the scene continued to go crazy...
Then, return to the backstage.
The good news spread all over the Internet in an instant, causing many people who had not dared to watch the game before to be stunned and then rushed into the live broadcast room excitedly!
"Today is destined to be a classic battle. Let us look forward to the fifth game together!"
In the lounge, all the LPL players had already stood up, their faces flushed, except for the IG players.
The five WE players just returned and passed each other.
Everyone in the lounge, either sitting or standing, had their eyes fixed on the two teams that passed by each other.
"Thank you for your hard work." Yuan Shen patted 957 on the shoulder.
957 was full of excitement and took a deep breath. "The rest..."
"Leave it to us."
The IG members wore their team uniforms and walked towards the stage!
Just as they promised to WE and others in LPL before the game:
As long as WE survives this game, the rest will be left to them!
I tried my best to give you a chance to play
If I play, I will give everyone a championship!
Kaohsiung Sports Center.
The competition lasted for a whole day, with the LPL and LCK divisions fighting each other fiercely.
But the atmosphere on the scene has reached its highest point since the start of the Intercontinental Championship!
The two major divisions and eight teams have now all taken turns to play.
WE became the savior and successfully helped IG get the final chance for the decisive battle!
That’s right, in the last game, regardless of the decision of the LPL think tank, even the outside audience and even the opposing LCK knew that the LPL side would definitely use IG in this decisive game that would determine the championship!
It couldn't be any other team!
WE fought so hard, but after WE won the game, why were all the people so excited as if they had won it?
Isn't all this because of everyone's confidence in IG?
As long as it lasts until the fifth game, IG will be able to play again and will live up to everyone's expectations!
At the same time, because of WE's sudden upset, the desperate LPL region was revitalized. After hearing the news, the popularity of major live broadcast rooms began to rise wildly.
The focus instantly broke through the first four games.
Because everyone knows that no matter who wins or loses, one division will hold the championship trophy in an hour!
"Welcome to the 2017 Intercontinental Series Asia Finals. Hello everyone, I am Wawa!
“I’m Miller!”
“I’m Longhair!”
In front of the camera, three LPL commentators appeared, looking energetic and radiant.
I still remember that half an hour ago, their faces were pale with despair, but now it’s like Sichuan Opera face-changing, the show effect is at its maximum!
The commentators only play with reality!
"Now... we have entered the fifth game!" Wawa said with great emotion: "WE in the last game really moved me!
"I think every LPL team this year was very touching, including the stunning posters of the 12 teams in the theater before the game... Regardless of whether we win or lose today, at least everyone has tried their best and there are no regrets!"
Miller said: "Yes, in this BO5, the director informed us that our LPL region will send IG to the fifth and most crucial deciding game of the finals!"
"Wow!"
"IG!IG!"
“Ahhh!! Yuan Shen go go go!!”
Hearing the sound, even though they had guessed it a long time ago, the audience and those watching the live broadcast still screamed excitedly.
Several commentators were not surprised at all. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly: "IG... I think everyone should have guessed it at the end of the fourth game!"
"That's right, I don't need to say much about IG. They are the best in our LPL and the biggest of the big brothers. I hope IG can play to their normal level. I think our chances of winning the championship again are really great!"
"Yes, there is one thing I don't know if you have noticed, that is, the four teams today have all lost to IG before. KT was in the S5 World Championship, SSG was in the S6 World Championship, and LZ was in this year's MSI. I won't mention SKT. In the past two years, SKT has lost to IG three times in a row in major competitions. I wonder which team the LCK coaching staff will choose to play today."
After that, the director also announced the participating teams in the finals on the LCK side, but the result was a bit surprising.
Because in the fifth game of the LCK finals, it was not KT, who everyone thought was the strongest, but SKT!
"This..." The doll widened his eyes.
"KT lost to IG in the first game today. LZ just played against them in the last game, so they probably have some problems with their mentality now. The LCK team is too strict! They really don't want to make any mistakes. SKT is an old friend. Although they have made a lot of personnel changes this year, the people everyone is most familiar with have not changed. And SKT is the only team in this intercontinental game that played very closely with IG... You know what, LCK's choice is also reasonable!"
"Yes! IG vs. SKT, these are two legendary teams recognized worldwide. One is a veteran legendary team. I think no one, no matter how SKT is now, will question their past glory! Similarly, IG is a legend today! After this game, if IG can win, then LPL and them will once again win a world championship trophy!"
After that, the director notified Wawa loudly: "That's right, the two strongest teams from the two major regions are now ready! Let's go to the last game of the BO5 finals today!"
The camera turns, the scene goes crazy, and the BP interface appears!
In this game, IG is on the blue side and SKT is on the red side.
Both sides' attitudes towards their opponents were understandable and expected.
It was reasonable that LPL would send out IG at the most critical moment, but what was unexpected was SKT's appearance.
But anyway, the game started and both sides started BP.
Right from the start, SKT had plenty of experience. Even though Shen wasn't a strong player in the meta, they were determined not to let him go!
In addition to Shen, they also banned Lee Sin, and after a moment's hesitation, they gave the last pick to Taliyah!
Now it’s S7. As Yuan Shen plays more and more games, his signature heroes are increasing. Taliyah and Shen are among them!
Ban the jungler without hesitation!
IG banned players in a regular manner, targeting Faker, banning Syndra, Malzahar, and the support Rakan. "Another ban of three junglers. SKT is very knowledgeable now. After all, they are old rivals with IG. Just ban them!"
Miller nodded: "It's very targeted at Yuan Shen, and the same is true for IG... But I feel that no matter how much you target Yuan Shen, it's useless! Everyone knows this person now, he is a hero in the sea!"
Cheers broke out at the scene, and at the same time both sides started the first round of selection.
After the final battle, both sides made their choices, and IG got the Big Mouth, Minotaur, and LeBlanc in the first three picks.
SKT's are Clockwork Prince and Xia!
"IG was as aggressive as ever in the first round! They picked Kog'Maw, who is very popular recently, and Rookie's LeBlanc. Kog'Maw and Minotaur paired with LeBlanc... steady and aggressive!"
"But IG still did the classic of not picking a jungler... I don't know what hero Yuan Shen will pick in this game. SKT will definitely continue to ban when they see that you didn't pick a jungler in the first round."
As expected, IG did not choose a jungler in the first round. In the second round, SKT targeted two junglers and finally decided on Braum.
IG picked the top laner Fiora, and when it came to the last choice, the director's camera also gave the direction to Yuan Shen in time.
“Which one?”
At this moment, everyone in IG also looked at Yuan Shen:
Yuan Shen thought about it and said, "How about this?"
"Really?" The teammates were a little surprised.
Yuan Shen said: "This hero can't be played outside now, I think it's okay!"
"There are still some jungle heroes left out there, but they are all not strong junglers in this version. What should Yuan Shen choose? I think he should choose one...eh?" Before Wawa finished speaking, he saw the BP interface. Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar avatar appeared in the last position of IG.
"They will welcome you like heroes!"
The hero that was reworked ahead of schedule because of the butterfly effect - Darkin Sword Demon!
"Ah, this...Sword Demon?!"
"Uh!"
Everyone at the scene was stunned when they saw IG show this hero!
Can this hero play jungle?
The Sword Demon was reworked some time ago, but has never been online and only officially appeared in version 7.13.
Unfortunately, the previous game version has always been 7.12.
That is, after the start of this year's intercontinental championship, the latest version 7.13 was used immediately.
No one has the slightest idea about this reworked hero.
Because the old version of the Sword Demon is an unpopular professional hero who rarely appears on the professional stage. Moreover, due to its skill mechanism, the playability and operability of the old version of the Sword Demon are far less strong than those of today's top heroes, and it is mostly active in low-end games.
The last time he played in a professional arena was when Yuan Shen played top lane at the Olympics last year...
But everyone's impression of the Sword Demon is still completely the same as before, that is, "a low-end hero" and "an unpopular hero in professional competitions".
So rare!
Now seeing IG's choice, I can't help but feel a little skeptical.
"The reworked Aatrox...someone has played him top lane with pretty good results...but can this hero play as a jungler?!" Miller's eyes were full of doubt.
'So far, as far as I know, no one has used the Sword Demon to play in the jungle...' Wawa smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's started! Master Yuan has started. Is he going to give me something new?"
"It's not locked yet, do you want to confirm it? It can't be Aatrox top laner, because IG has already chosen Fiora... Hey! It's locked! Confirmed! It's Aatrox jungler!"
After the words fell, IG locked it directly without hesitation!
The newly reworked Sword Demon entered the professional arena as a jungler for the first time, and it was the international finals!
"Wow!"
“IG!IG!”
Although most of the audience is still in a state of confusion, and are unsure about Yuan Shen's sword demon, but seeing the lineup finalized, the last game of the finals B05, everyone still gave their trust and gave the biggest cheer!
"It might be a big move. After all, the Sword Demon has never appeared before, and it is in such a crucial sentence. I think Yuan Shen can choose it, so he must be confident. From what I know about Yuan Shen, he may be about to start!"
After Wawa finished speaking, SKT also let Huni get the top single Gnar.
At this point, the lineups of both sides have been finalized.
IG on the blue side: Fiora on top, Aatrox on jungle, Leblanc on mid, Kog'Maw and Alistar on bottom.
SKT on the red side: top lane Gnar, jungle Jarvan, mid lane Clockwork, bottom lane Xayah and Braum,
The lineups of both sides clearly have the characteristics of their respective regions and teams. Just by looking at the names of the heroes, you can feel that IG's lineup is full of murderous intent. Teamfight? Except for a Minotaur, what teamfight can the rest of the team fight? Just rush in and it's over!
This is the familiar way of opening for IG! It is also the point that makes all LPL viewers feel the most proud and crazy!
As for SKT, they have a mid-to-late-stage lineup, but the strong version of Prince has unlimited possibilities, and Gnar can be used in team fights or solo.
If the team names are covered, SKT's lineup is actually more in line with the version and has a higher winning rate.
"But the team name cannot be covered. If other teams choose this lineup, I might say that the game is over. But if the team with this lineup is IG, then I feel more relieved!"
Miller finished.
The game was loaded and the crowd cheered wildly.
The voices of “Come on IG” soared into the sky at this moment.
"After going through so much, WE's final desperate victory was an upset, and all the LPL teams and staff worked day and night for this moment! Just to let IG make their debut!"
Wawa's emotions reached their peak, and he shouted: "The audience, including us, are now excited! The lineup is confirmed, and the game has begun. I think there is no need to say more now. We will see you in the game!
“This finals, please!”
Miller had a lot to say, but now he could only say: "IG, please help us win the trophy!!"
“Go IG!!”
"Ahhhh!!"
The crazy scene and the frenzied audience seats, even if they were sitting in the competition room wearing headphones, everyone on IG could hear it clearly.
And with these crazy cheers, the competition officially began.
