Chapter 268: First BO5

April 22, sunny.

Lin Cheng got up early and put on a mask to go out.

Lin Cheng is used to taking a walk in the nearby park on the morning of the game day, breathing some fresh air to get his brain excited as soon as possible.

The streets of Seoul are very busy in the morning, and pedestrians are in a hurry. Most of the people who go out at this time are people who are busy for life. Lin Cheng seems a bit out of place.

He wandered around the park and played with the stray cats who were as leisurely as him. Then Lin Cheng had breakfast outside and returned to the base.

He went into the gym for half an hour of high-intensity exercise, and then started a one-person RANK.

Everything is not much different from usual.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Korean time, and the semi-finals of the 2020 LCK Spring Playoffs officially started.

KT training room.

The players checked their equipment and chatted while waiting for the game to start.

Lin Cheng sat in his seat, holding a cup and drinking water.

Kuro stood up from his seat, came over and patted his shoulder, "Lin Cheng, don't be nervous, just play like you usually do."

Lin Cheng was about to speak, and Bono next to him patted his shoulder, "It's easy to be nervous when playing BO5 for the first time, don't be afraid of mistakes, I will help you catch more today."

Tusin also joined in the fun, shouting the Chinese sentence he learned from Bono: "Chengbao, don't worry! We will cover you if something goes wrong."

Lin Cheng put down the cup in his hand, looking confused.

"What are you doing? I wasn't nervous at all, but you guys made me a little nervous."

Kuro: "If you're not nervous, why are you drinking water all the time?"

Lin Cheng: "I'm thirsty, I ate too many chocolate cookies just now."

Kuro: "·····"

In the Chinese stream Huya live broadcast room, today's game commentary is jointly performed by Corgi and Junri.

Junri: "Here we go! The battle for the last ticket to the finals of the 2020 spring LCK is about to begin, with KT vs. DRX. Let's see who can grab this ticket to the finals."

Corgi: "KT and DRX can be said to have undergone a major change this year. Last year, KZ changed its name to DRX and chose to rebuild around Deft, while KT used a new lineup that combines the old and the new this year.

Although the two teams have had their own ups and downs along the way, their goals are definitely the same. They have come this far, and today's game will surely be very intense."

Junri: "I don't know if It's a cycle. In the summer season of S8, Brother Mai led Griffin, who had just been promoted to LCK, to the finals of the playoffs, but fell to KT at the time.

Then last year, Griffin entered the finals twice in a row, but eventually fell to SKT. Even if DRX can get past KT today, it will still face T1 later.

I was thinking, Brother Mai will not be sniped by the two brothers of the news agency when he tries to win the championship four times in a row? ”

“Hey! It's true.”

Corgi joked: “Brother Mai must be thinking: Why are the two brothers of the news agency still haunting me? KT messed with me the year before last, and SKT used crazy tricks last year. Stumbling block, after all the twists and turns, I didn't expect it to be these two this year. "

"Anyway, Brother Mai brought his two beloved disciples to DRX in the hope of winning an LCK championship. If DRX can beat KT today, this will be the fourth time in a row that Brother Mai has led his team into the LCK finals, a record that no one has ever achieved."

Junri changed his tone: "Of course, if Brother Mai falls in the finals again, it will also create a very embarrassing record. There has never been a coach who has won four consecutive runner-ups in the history of LCK, although he also holds the record of three consecutive runner-ups."

"Brother Orange, go for it!"

"Brother Cheng: The glory of the news agency I will protect it. "

"Didn't expect it? It's me again. JPG."

"Brother Mai should not enter the finals. If he loses in the finals again, he will be a demon."

"Compared to Brother Mai's embarrassing record, I am more curious about what tricks he will come up with."

"Cold knowledge: Brother Mai will definitely have tricks in the key BO5."

"Doran's top single Kalista is ready."

"The ace pilot applied to play! I just want to see who will start first, Mr. Dai or Doran."

······

Although the semi-finals are also online games, compared with the regular season, there are more cameras in front of the players' computers, which can record the players' every move in front of the camera in real time.

The process of waiting for the game to start was a bit boring. Lin Cheng adjusted the angle of the camera above his computer screen again and again.

He always felt that the camera installed by the staff was a bit crooked.

When the broadcast cut to the player's screen, Lin Cheng just waved to the camera with a big smile.

"Hello! Annie!"

Junri: "This... Although I can't hear the players' voices, I can see from their lip movements that Brother Orange is probably saying hello."

Corgi was amused: "It can be seen that Brother Orange is a very funny person, but the camera is close to his face, and his appearance is really high."

Junri: "LCK votes for the most beautiful players on the forum every year. I'm curious if Brother Orange has a chance to make the list this year."

"Then he definitely has a great chance. Even though Brother-in-law and Princess are both in LCK this year, Brother Orange is just as good-looking as he is strong."

Corgi changed the subject: "Let's get back to the point, Junri, what do you think of today's game? Which side do you think is better?"

Junri thought for a while: "From the state point of view, KT has a little advantage in entering the playoffs with the momentum of 13 consecutive wins in the regular season, but it's hard to say in BO5.

After all, everyone knows Brother Mai. It's entirely possible that he suddenly came up with something very cool today and caught KT off guard."

Corgi teased: "Three consecutive Pantheon and Taliyah?"

Junri: "Your one is too much, don't lash out at Brother Mai anymore, he gave up this routine after the spring finals last year."

Corgi: "Don't say that, I feel that this routine can really be tried after the revision of Pantheon, and Taliyah in the bottom lane can be played as a mage core."

Junri: "Mr. Dai is not Viper after all, and rarely plays mage core heroes. It depends on whether he has secretly practiced under Brother Mai's guidance."

Today is also the day when the LPL playoffs start. The first round is between the old giant WE and the new army ES.

However, since the LCK game started an hour earlier, countless viewers waiting for the LPL game to start chose to watch the LCK game first to kill time.

It just so happened that I heard that KT's Chinese top laner was very strong, and many viewers who usually only pay attention to LPL games also came to join in the fun.

"Is this the new world's No. 1 top laner that Brother Guan praised? He is really handsome."

"It's very strong when I read the news, but the news from self-media should be discounted by 10%."

"I agree, self-media only cares about traffic and is shameless, and can praise the Spanish Second Division's Wu Qiu Wang as comparable to Messi."

"I've watched Brother Cheng's live broadcast, it's really super show."

"Don't say too much, can you beat the wheelchair god stick brother?"
