Let's talk about the Red Bull Cup.
Red Bull's sponsored "LOL Engage Competition" has selected 7 European teams to compete for this year's S champion T1.
This game is not very hot in China, but the external network is very popular, the ** on YouTube and Twitch add up to four or five million **, and even the Chinese stream two-way commentary on the Wanwan side has rubbed hundreds of thousands of **, in short, the popularity is indeed quite high.
To be reasonable, it is normal for this game to be not popular in China.
After all, you T1 just killed our LPL in the fourth world championship, and then turned around and went to engage in a wheel war with the European division, and as a result, whether you win or lose, the face of the LPL can't be placed. I have always been alone in China, and I usually don't pay much attention to the affairs of the outside competition area.
So the "Red Bull Cup" thing, if you can dilute it, dilute it.
But we really don't have any baggage now, if the LPL doesn't work, it's not a big deal. Is it only allowed for you players to transfer, not for us esports viewers?So what's going on, let's transfer directly to T1 now, and we will also be a noble champion fan in the future. Watching the game, being a spectator, of course, how to be happy.
The Red Bull Cup is pretty good.
It can only be said that it is worthy of the competition made by Red Bull, which is very challenging.
First of all, the format is outrageous.
From 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. on December 9, T1 will fight for seven hours in a row against five European teams. This intensity can't help but remind people of the famous BO10 incident in which our LPL once beat Gangzi to the same place and retired. I can only say that it is worthy of you, Red Bull, and I really have a hand in challenging the limit, and I don't know what the 28-year-old Faker teacher feels.
But that's not all, in order to continue to give T1 some strength, the tournament team also made a "one-sided global BP" only for T1 - from Game 2 onwards, as long as it is a hero used by both sides, T1 cannot be used.
As a rough calculation, by the time you reach Game 4, there will be as many as 40 heroes banned in T1.
This gameplay can only be said to be terrifying.
But what's even more terrifying is that T1 has won all four games of the unilateral global BP. In the European region, where the rules were taken advantage of, the four teams of BIG, NNO, KC, and TH were crushed by T1 in turn, and none of the teams could fully survive 30 minutes. It can only be said that the champion content of S13 is still rising, and the legend content of Faker is still rising.
Of course, after all, it is a "fun" competition.
While T1's sweep looks ferocious, it's clear from the first four games that these teams are still playing a lot of fun.
The hard power of the European division is indeed inferior to T1, but everyone doesn't seem to be doing their best, there is no tactical design, and there is no extreme operation. Even in the game between T1 and NNO, the two teams also engaged in a big brawl in the middle of the game at the beginning, and the corners of the mouths of the players on both sides were more difficult to press than AK, and their faces were full of joy.
I found it a real joy in Europe.
Not only the famous team G2, but also other teams, playing games are full of spirit, and winning or losing seems to be relatively light. The main thing is to play hello, hello, hello everyone, play the game together and have fun for the audience. The e-sports audience over there doesn't seem to have any fancy work, neither the extreme behavior of Korean fans, nor the fan circle gameplay of our LPL fans.
Anyway, it's probably that the European division is really clean.
Let's talk back to the Red Bull Cup.
The real highlight and challenge of this game is that G2 plays T1.
The game was also relatively fair. For T1, first of all, the global BP is gone, and you can choose heroes freely, which is a small boost, and at the same time, facing the European powerhouse G2 in the case of mental exhaustion, it is also in line with the theme of "challenging the limit";For G2, it is really impossible to win the complete T1, even against the weakened T1, it is quite "challenging the limit" for G2.
It's half a catty.
As a result, it was a bit of a sight to behold, and both sides played the real thing. In two minutes, the G2 jungler cooperated with the lower lane to complete a wave of tower crossing, and double-killed the T1 lower auxiliary duo;In three minutes, the G2 jungler caught the T1 jungler in the wild area, and cooperated with the top laner to complete the kill. G2 is a jungler, and if it can make it to Worlds, the LPL team of S14 is likely to suffer.
G2, which had a big advantage at the beginning, had a full offensive rhythm throughout the game, although Faker's Akali still maintained a strong suppressive force on the line, leading the team to regain some advantages, and even played until the two sides suspended the game. But even so, T1 finally failed to recover the overall disadvantage, and after more than 30 minutes of difficult support, it was bulldozed by G2 in a wave.
What to say about this game, although the physical state of the two sides is not at the same level, but the game is really exciting. The European style of play, or G2's offensive play, is very strong, and T1's response is also very strong, and there are really a lot of highlights and cool points in the whole game.
As a result of the competition, some viewers began to comment on "G2 WBG".
After all, judging from the results, G2 turned the tide and stopped T1's killing of the European region in time. In contrast, WBG, which was given high hopes for our LPL, was really defeated, with no sense of resistance at all, and simply let T1 achieve the achievement of killing LPL.
How to say it. Netizens have a reason for sharp comments. There is really nothing to say about the final of S13, a game almost knocked out the spirit of LPL fans, what else is there to say.
I can only say that from the perspective of a bystander, congratulations to LPL for continuing to work hard.
