Chapter 364: The last dance? The last few dozen dances!

I have to say that these people at Tenghai have some bad intentions.

It is clear that the final scheduled time for the suspension of Honor of Kings services is late November, by which time even the World Championship will probably be over.

Even if the service suspension requires advance notice, about a month in advance will be enough. There is no need to release it in a hurry at this time.

But Teng Hai did just that, as if he was enjoying the fun.

So, at this critical juncture when almost every region was striving for the regional championship and a place in the World Championship, such a crucial group frenzy was thrown out by Teng Hai.

The atmosphere was already tense, and as those old Dengs who had more or less some bad fate with Glory turned into Dian Wei and went completely crazy, it began to get out of control.

The timing is so subtle.

Let the old players know about the suspension of Honor of Kings before the real climax of the summer season arrives, and then postpone the official suspension time to after the World Championship.

This means that if these old guys who have given up their glory want to attend the funeral of their "old lover" in a decent manner, they can only win the next championship in front of them.

Therefore, in the upcoming major competitions, young people who are unaware of the situation will suffer badly.

The first person to suffer was Xuanqi.

Does Xuanqi have an old Deng? Well, he does. Wang Ze, Zhang Jiaxing and Song Xiao have all been playing in the Glory League for at least three years. Li Hua has a little less experience, but he has also played in the Glory League for two full years.

However, they are limited by the heights they have reached in the Glory League, and the highest status they have in Glory is only the second-in-command of a strong team.

Coach Zhang Yiwei is even worse off. His career has either been a cycle of being a mediocre captain, or leading a group of people struggling on the edge of relegation.

Therefore, their obsession is definitely a little inferior to those real old things.

Unfortunately, their next opponent is a team with six old guys, including the coach and manager, who have left unforgettable marks in Glory and some have even served as team bosses.

When shaking hands, looking at Lu Liang's eyes that were faintly flaming with fire, Zhang Yiwei couldn't help but feel that this time he might be in for a big loss.

And the facts turned out to be just as he expected.

Fanhua pushed Xiye to the bench and brought up Tian Sen, who had not played many games in the summer season.

The four elders form a bond and start!
Before the game, facing the spring double crown flowers, Xuanqi must have made a lot of arrangements.

Judging from the current situation, the person most likely to become a breakthrough point on Fanhua's side is Mo Fan in the jungle.

Therefore, Zhang Yiwei made a lot of arrangements for the jungle role.

If Li Hua was not really unable to be as nonsensical and imaginative as Baozi, Zhang Yiwei would have wanted Li Hua to learn Baozi's free-spirited jungle route.

But all these arrangements, in order to be effective, must be based on one premise:

Xuanqi's line must be held, at least it cannot collapse too quickly.

However, in the face of today's flourishing flowers, this goal seems a little bit difficult.

In his limited appearance opportunities in the summer season, Tian Sen mostly used heroes that were more like tools, appearing as the executor of certain tactics.

But today, he took a Tsar and beat Gai Caijie, who was caught off guard, to the point of being in agony.

Tian Sen has not had many opportunities to perform since joining the team. He once struggled to support the last glory of Royal Style, but after joining Fanhua he has been willing to play the role of a supporting actor.

But being willing to be a supporting role does not mean that you can only be a supporting role.

The first game ended in 23 minutes. Except for Li Hua who picked up a head in the late team battle to avoid being shut out, the other team almost won the game with a shutout.

To be able to crush the opponent like this in the playoffs really shows that the Suns are coming from the west.

Tian Sen's Tsar easily scored 4/0/2 and broke through Xuanqi's middle lane with a single point.

This forced Zhang Yiwei to urgently adjust his deployment during the game, asking Li Hua to take more care of the middle lane to avoid being completely penetrated.
Then in the next game... Well, Tian Sen did not perform that well, but the problem was that Zhang Jiale in the bottom lane woke up again.

He was a bit lazy in the last round, and got off work on time after hitting 206. In the second round, he took out an ez and beat Wang Ze into 1/4, and his output was more than twice that of Wang Ze.

Because of his style, after coming to LPL, Wang Ze was once given the title of "Little Zhang Jiale" when his momentum was at its strongest. He even thought about how to remove the small word in front of it.

But facing the real Zhang Jiale and the world champion's Fanhua bottom lane group, it was a good interpretation of why pirated products cannot beat the genuine ones.

Another Zero Dragon Tower.

In the third game, Wang Ze's condition improved and he was not beaten, but the problem was that Zhao Yang quietly took out his Captain in the top lane...

A group of old guys whose murderous intent had been completely awakened gathered together, and the fighting power they unleashed was terrifying.

There is no need to use too many tactics. As long as there is always someone on the line who can burst out and become a hero, the victory of the game can be secured.

With almost no effort, they defeated Xuanqi, who had been quite popular before the game, 3:0 and entered the losing battle, facing Xingxin, who had just lost to Blue Rain.

Since then, the competition for the summer championship has once again become a fierce battle between the Big Three.

But this time, no one dared to easily predict the final result.

The return of the champions, the rebirth of Baozi, the inestimable Xingxin, and the winner of the winner group, the long-awaited champion Blue Rain...

It seems that whoever wins the championship will have a say.

So, rarely, this time no self-media dared to come out and make a prediction video.

Everyone is eagerly waiting for the final decisive battle...

……

The news of Honor's suspension of service naturally did not just cause a sensation in China, but also caused an uproar around the world.

However, the reactions in different regions are not exactly the same.

For example, in South Korea, the situation is completely different.

For ordinary players in South Korea, there probably isn't much sentiment or love for Honor of Kings.

The reason is very simple. In the era of highly professionalized e-sports, during the glory era, most of the people in online games were working for large guilds to collect materials, and the number of ordinary players was really limited.

For these material workers, the existence of glory is equivalent to the black-hearted company they used to work for, where the work intensity was extremely high and the treatment was not very good.

Bankrupt? Not opening champagne is a sign of good manners for these people.

However, there are also people who have expressed clear dissatisfaction with the suspension of Honor of Kings.

For example, StarCraft players in South Korea.

It’s not that they miss or love Honor so much, it’s just that they feel that the timing of Honor’s announcement of service suspension is really not right.

To be honest, it's no wonder that the Koreans regard StarCraft as their national sport. They are really good at this field.

When Kespa was still rebuilding and its competition and training system had not been fully established, they relied on the rise of a group of talented young people to quickly establish their dominance in the new StarCraft professional circle.

innovation, maru, BYuN, TY……

A large number of extremely powerful players emerged like a blowout and quickly began to conquer the major interstellar competitions.

But compared to a parallel world, they encountered a powerful obstacle, Xiao Shiqin.

It is precisely because of this person's existence that the Korean SC dares to say that they dominate the world, but they dare not directly say that they have crushed the Chinese Star. Even if the Chinese Star is now ranked in the first tier in the world, so far only Xiao Shiqin is the only one.

In a large number of official and unofficial competitions, both large and small, Xiao Shiqin has lost and missed the championship.

But he did two things:
First, when facing all the players from South Korea, including Lu Bu, the winning rate was over half.

Second, it would be fine if we didn’t make it to the finals, but as long as we made it to the finals, we would definitely be the champion.

It is precisely because of his monstrous performance that he has always been regarded as a mountain that must be climbed by the Korean interstellar community.

At the recent Golden Tour Seoul stop, they saw hope of victory.

Reaching the semi-final stage, perhaps it was the added bonus of home court that allowed the baseball players to perform exceptionally well in this tournament.

Among the top four, three seats were occupied by him, and the other seat was occupied by Xiao Shiqin.

Moreover, in the quarter-finals, Xiao Shiqin's performance could not be said to be very bad, but it was just at an average level. He had a back-and-forth battle with a certain wild man who was lucky enough to make it to the quarter-finals for the first time in his career.

This is not the performance that the world's number one god should have.

There are three South Koreans in the semi-finals, Xiao Shiqin is not in good shape, and they have the home-court advantage. He should be able to secure the championship this time, right?
Originally everyone thought so. Even many Chinese players who supported Xiao Shiqin came to comfort him in advance, saying that it was enough and that he should adjust himself and that they would be waiting for his return.

But perhaps it was because Huang Xudong mentioned during the live broadcast that day that Xiao Shiqin's upcoming schedule would be a bit difficult.

The night before the semi-finals, news of Honor's server shutdown broke.

So, the next day, the audience watching the semi-finals were extremely shocked to see Xiao Shiqin, who was always well-dressed, walk onto the stage with a pair of dark circles and bloodshot eyes.

This even scared his opponent Maru, who kept asking Xiao Shiqin through the referee whether he wanted to take a break first and not rush the competition.

But Xiao Shiqin waved his hands and said it was okay and he could fight.

Maru didn't believe it at first and thought he was just pretending.

But as the game went on, he began to realize something was wrong.

The one in trouble seems to be him.

Today, Xiao Shiqin was like a chicken with blood injected. He played extremely ferociously and desperately, but his thinking was also very clear and his operation seemed to have improved.

Maru, who was already distracted by Xiao Shiqin's appearance, was caught off guard and was taken away neatly by the bloodthirsty Xiao Shiqin.

Soon, Xiao Shiqin's old rival Lu Bu followed in Maru's footsteps. The two great emperors were kicked over by Xiao Shiqin one after another.

The South Korean audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room watched the haggard Xiao Shiqin perform with his own eyes, from the laughter and joy in the pre-match prediction to the silence during the game and then to the nonsense after the game.

If it weren't for projects like StarCraft, taking stimulants and other drugs would most likely have the opposite effect. It is estimated that a large number of Koreans would collectively petition to have Xiao Shiqin undergo eight or ten urine tests.

opened?
In an interview after winning the championship, Xiao Shiqin explained his extraordinary performance as follows:

"I feel sad that Honor has announced the suspension of services for the game I loved and played for before."

"I've been thinking about this all night, and I feel like I should get as many honors as possible before Glory shuts down. This will be worthy of Glory's cultivation over the years, so I'll play a little harder today."

Well, were you the one who brought the Japanese in?

When I thought about the fact that the championship that was almost delivered to my doorstep was lost just because of the suspension of the next door Honor of Kings server and stimulated a certain big devil, I was shocked.

In addition, StarCraft players have had various grievances with Glory over the years.
All new and old grudges were settled together, causing chaos on the Korean Internet that day.

In addition to the ordinary StarCraft players passing by, there are also some people who want to curse at the Honor of Kings service suspension notice.

"Let's congratulate JAS. Although SKT defeated them twice in a row at the beginning, they managed to drag the game into the deciding game with excellent teamwork and the outstanding performance of IPX players in the top lane! G————G————!"

Accompanied by the Korean commentators' signature "GG" in unison, in the animation of the crystal exploding, the faces of the five SKT players all looked a little pale.

"Ah Yisi - is that old guy crazy?" The dusty Khan couldn't help but curse.

"I never thought that a cancer like him would have the opportunity to beat up his old club..." sighed the support Keria.

IPX, or Park Jae-yoon, is the old Deng who was optimized at light speed by SKT after MSi and is the representative figure of 80 e-sports.

Originally, his story should have been like the back of him when he left SKT, like a run-over dog, stinking and rotting in a dark corner, and eventually disappearing from people's sight.

But the facts have proved that there may be some water in his identity, but not much.

Before the start of the summer season, IPX was traded by SKT to jas, who was at the bottom of the spring season, in order to make it impossible for him to ever make a comeback.

But in the summer season, IPX showed his ability to lead the team.

Maybe it's because although Jas's performance is not good, he still has some talent. Or maybe it's because the strength of the top few LCK teams is too terrifying, so there is a gap in the team's strength.
All in all, in the summer regular season, Park Jae-yoon actually led the team to sixth place in the league and made it to the playoffs with difficulty, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, even though they made it to the playoffs, no one in the entire LCK thought that he had the ability to lead this bottom-ranked team.

But the reality far exceeded everyone's expectations.

"All the honors and achievements in my career so far, even the little positive reputation I have left, were all obtained in that dying game."

"Before it comes to an end, I want it to burn one last time!"

Park Jae-yoon did not mention words like revenge during the interview, but only emphasized that he wanted to lead the team to go further and live up to his identity as a Glory player.

And his performance fulfilled his oath.

After winning the first round of the playoffs with a difficult score of 3-2, in the second round, facing the league's top team and his former club SKT, which was at its peak, he played what might be the best performance of his career so far.

After a hellish start where SKT lost two games in a row, one of which almost shut them out, Park Jae-yoon keenly noticed Khan's mental problems.

The guy who replaced him as SKT's starting top laner was the solo kill king in the regular season of the summer season and was at the peak of public opinion at this time.

Even through the screen, IPX could feel the boy's swell.

And if he expands, he will have a chance.

In the first four games, Park Jae-yoon perfectly played the role that Khan wanted to ravage at all costs: old, weak, and unable to fight back.

Then when Khan becomes arrogant, cooperate with teammates to create a breakthrough from him.

Khan never expected that this old thing, which he no longer took seriously, still had a lot of gas in its tank, and it was almost turned into a black bass in the third and fourth rounds.

With Khan's two consecutive good performances in the R&D i series, the score was forced back to 2:2 and entered the deciding game.

Before the deciding game, Park Jae-yoon was fully energized and eager to fight, no longer trying to hide his true feelings.

"Sang Hyuk, we meet again on the field after many days."

"You chose to stay here, so let me see how much you have improved!"

In response to this, Li Xianghe only had one sentence:

"Give me... the Tsar!"

　I will continue writing the extra chapter next time when I have nothing to do.
