Chapter 30: The world line is hard to change, DRX advances to the top 4!
LPL commentary booth:
"Sigh, it's such a pity. Li Ning was just a little bit away from victory, but unfortunately, T1 managed to turn the tide in the Baron fight."
"Faker's Taliyah, that crucial lift, it lifted Light back, it's almost unstoppable."
"From that angle, Light, without Flash, definitely can't escape."
"All I can say is congratulations to T1, they've got three match points now, 2-0."
"Li Ning, it's such a pity. This match was turned around. I hope everyone's mentality won't be too affected in the third game."
"Yes, Li Ning, keep it up, get back on track."
"There are precedents for teams coming back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 in the quarterfinals of a World Championship."
"Yes, at the S10 World Championship, Top Esports (TES) came back from a 0-2 deficit to defeat FNC 3-2! Li-Ning can definitely do it too!"
The audience was laughing out loud at the commentary.
"Excuse me, where is 'almost'?"
"Just kidding, you really think I'm joking with you?"
"Haha, it'll be a one-shot deal."
"Why is Faker a true god! He saved the team with just one Taliyah lift."
"Big B, it's been a long time since I've heard the story of the rock sparrow lifting three times."
"They're really bad, stupid! Li Ning is beyond saving!"
"It's 3-0, time to go home. Swim back."
"What are you talking about? A thorough investigation into the 'Light King' is tantamount to a crime!"
"Tazan consumed so many resources, but it was still useless. What was that last wave all about?"
"Speechless. This is terrible. Get out of here."
At this moment, Lin Jin watched as Li Ning was defeated and fell into deep thought.
"That doesn't make sense..."
"Now, the mission is doomed."
He sighed.
Sure enough, Li Ning lost his courage again in the third game.
They wanted to do something, but became increasingly anxious, and were led by the nose by T1 the whole time.
They were completely outmaneuvered throughout the entire event.
The game lasted for 27 minutes, and the match ended.
T1 defeated Li Ning 3-0 to advance to the semifinals of the World Championship.
Li Ning was eliminated.
The online public opinion was overwhelming.
Not only are they criticizing Tazan, Doinb, Denghuang, Lvmao, Ale, and the coaches, but also the Li-Ning Group itself.
Even in their live streams on Douyin, a large number of netizens flooded in to criticize them.
The livestreaming girls selling shoes and clothes had never seen anything like this before. They were bombarded with criticism and had no chance to have a proper experience, so they ended their broadcasts and left.
…………
In the Top Esports lounge, Lin Jin waited for the system notification for a long time, but it still didn't come.
The fact that the reward did not increase means that the mission failed.
Sigh, it's still only 50% salvageable.
The knockout stage is already over. If the World Championship ends before the 80% rescue threshold is reached, the game will have to be rolled back and restarted.
Lin Jin really didn't want to go through that again.
"call……"
Lin Jin pondered carefully: "I guess the only way is to work on Top Esports. If I can lead the team to victory with my own strength, I can get a direct reward."
However, Lin Jin also understands that League of Legends is not a game for one person.
It's a team game. No matter how strong you are individually, the era of one person saving the world is long gone.
At present, all we can say is that we will do our best to gain every advantage.
Fortunately, the top lane was heavily emphasized in the S12 World Championship; otherwise, it would have been a disaster in any other season.
After Li Ning was eliminated, he faced a barrage of criticism, and the club subsequently apologized.
However, Li Ning did not terminate its contract with Tazan immediately, unlike in Season 13.
Some forums have also published lengthy analytical posts pointing out that LPL didn't expect Li Ning to achieve any results this year.
You were the fourth seed, so losing to T1 isn't unusual.
But the pre-tournament hype about four LPL teams making it to the semifinals was truly outrageous.
They've already been eliminated in just the first quarterfinal match.
Netizens are very resistant to LPL's self-praise and are criticizing it relentlessly.
After that, the pressure was immense in the three major LPL matches.
Especially for EDG against Samsung, the pressure is immense. Samsung is the LCK Summer Split champion and the number one seed; they might even get swept.
Some people are even worried that JD Gaming's chances of beating DRX the next day are not very high.
Everyone feels that DRX has shown great drive since becoming the fourth seed.
Although they lost to Top Esports, they showed great resilience.
If JD.com cannot defeat them 3-0, they could very well be overturned.
The next day.
The match between JD Gaming and DRX has officially begun.
Inside the Top Esports lounge, Lin Jin was also uncertain, wondering how this worldline would unfold.
DRX were the original world champions, and they came back from a 0-2 deficit to defeat EDG 3-2 in the quarterfinals and advance to the quarterfinals. Deft shed tears on stage.
Is JD Gaming going to follow the same path as EDG in the original World Series?
The competition began quickly.
JD Gaming had little pressure in the first match and defeated DRX.
Netizens commented that this is normal; if the LPL's first-place team can't beat the LCK's fourth-place team, then there's no point in holding the event.
In the second game, JD Gaming performed well in the early game, but DRX managed to turn the tide in the mid-game. However, in the later stages of the game, DRX's Deft and Ezreal went to backdoor.
We were almost able to steal their base; we were just one basic attack away from bringing back the high ground crystal.
Base A is not viable.
De Ford's tragic death has dealt a blow to the DRX.
JD Gaming takes a 2-0 lead and reaches match point.
After the match, everyone said, "Thank goodness it was a close call!"
"Tianyun Jingdong! If Daifurt had used one more A, the outcome of the game would have been completely different."
"That's incredible, the DRX's resilience is just too strong."
"Another 2-0 score, JD Gaming should have it in the bag."
"It's in the bag, it's in the bag, there's no chance of a comeback from 0-2 down to
"We can only say that DRX was just unlucky, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Deford, go back and pray. We're almost done with A-base, and the crystal has revived."
"This is fate! JD.com is going to make it all the way to the finals!"
In the Top Esports locker room, they watched the game while marveling at JD Gaming's incredible luck.
Lin Jin's expression was very solemn.
The plot is exactly the same. It looks like JD Gaming is going to follow in EDG's footsteps.
In the next three games, DRX dominated each other more than the last.
No! I have to do something!
Just as Lin Jin was about to go out again, the coach suddenly walked in:
"Get ready, we'll have a practice match in ten minutes."
That's it, there's absolutely no hope left.
Lin Jin sighed and said, "I'm sorry, JD.com. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that there's really nothing I can do."
Subsequently, JD.com was defeated by DRX.
Fans said it wasn't a big problem, and that they should let him win the game to save face for DeFord.
In the fourth game, DRX played steadily in team fights and won the game, coming back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2.
JD.com fans and viewers alike are starting to get excited.
The commentators were getting anxious, hoping that JD Gaming could stay calm, play more aggressively, and not give the opponent any opportunities.
The fifth and decisive game has begun.
On JD.com, mid laner Yagao was completely crushed by DRX's mid laner Zeka.
It's an explosion from all sides.
Completely destroying everything in its path.
As expected, DRX crushed JD Gaming in the fifth game.
They pulled off a reverse sweep, defeating LPL's number one seed JDG to advance to the World Championship semifinals!
