Chapter 51: A Shocking Upset! DRX Defeats 3-Star!
"Such a fast cut."
White Crescent didn't respond on Weibo, but instead posted this sentence on WeChat Moments.
Of course, it was deleted very quickly.
However, it was still posted online by someone with ulterior motives, which once again brought his public image to its lowest point.
"Haha, has White Crescent Moon broken down yet?"
"Cut? What cut? The club?"
"Didn't the club kick you out a long time ago?"
"Besides, Topsports only mentioned job adjustments, not your resignation."
"The white crescent moon disappeared on its own; there's nothing we can do about it."
"That was a good cut. By cutting you off, Top Esports has directly entered the semifinals. This cut is meaningful."
"Haha, White Crescent is completely out of the running. Top Esports played well."
For several days in a row, netizens condemned the white crescent moon, but the latter did not continue to post on Weibo to prove anything.
This farce seems to have come to an end.
After filming the promotional video, Lin Jin and his teammates spent the next two days training.
At this stage, there are no more practice matches to play.
There are now four teams, and theoretically, any of them could be an opponent.
In this final stage, it all depends on how well you practice.
Another aspect is the understanding of the game version, which varies from coach to coach.
This stage is particularly important, and Lin Jin and his teammates have been involved in discussions with the coach.
Strong heroes in the current version, suitable team compositions, the choices made in the draft phase, and strategies for level 1 invasion, etc.
Tomorrow is the first day of the semifinals, with Samsung playing against DRX.
The Korean civil war started first, which also gave Top Esports a chance to observe and learn.
Before the match started, everyone thought Samsung would win by a large margin.
Supermicro will also be entering the World Championship finals for the first time.
However, the match was very close.
In the first game, Samsung demonstrated strong dominance, with their bot lane duo, in coordination with jungler Foygo, achieving a 2-for-0 exchange and establishing an advantage in the bot lane.
They kept snowballing their lead, constantly pressuring DRX, and almost easily pushed to the end of the game.
The second game was different. DRX's support, BeryL, caught Samsung's jungler, Sejuani, in the jungle.
His Braum used Flash to apply his passive, and eventually his teammates killed Sejuani together, after which DRX took down Baron.
DRX successfully tied the score at 1-1.
The match ended in a draw.
In the third game, DRX's top laner Kingen picked Aatrox and played exceptionally well in lane, gaining a significant advantage.
Zeka's Azir also gained a significant advantage in the laning phase.
The mid and top laners completely dominated Samsung's mid and top laners in the laning phase.
This left many Supermicro fans puzzled.
What exactly happened to Chaowei?
Why does he start acting up as soon as the World Championship knockout stage begins?
Didn't you behave quite well before?
In this game, Aatrox and Azir dominated the match, and DRX also executed a perfect team fight, achieving a 4-for-0 exchange.
The game ended in one fell swoop.
DRX is leading 2-1!
At this point, no one expected that DRX would take the lead and push Samsung into a desperate situation.
The commentators also shouted:
"Wow! What are we seeing?"
"DRX's resilience is truly remarkable!"
"Could this mean that DeFord's first-ever appearance in a final is about to begin?"
"Samsung really needs to reflect on this. Their early game draft was great, but they couldn't win the laning phase."
"In this version, if you lose the laning phase, it's really too difficult to make up for it in the late game."
"Let's watch the fourth match between the two sides. I'm really looking forward to it."
LPL fans also got up to watch the game.
I didn't think it was exciting before, but now that I suddenly see DRX, a fourth seed team, is going to make it to the finals, how can I not be excited?
Moreover, Samsung has quite a few haters, which makes this a perfect match.
"DRX, charge! Take down Samsung!"
"Haha, what do you mean by 'the underdog overthrowing the superior'? DRX is awesome!"
"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Mr. DeFord is getting stronger and stronger!"
"Kingen and Zeka are really strong. I didn't notice them before when they were in the LPL."
"They're not really going to let DRX into the finals, are they? If that happens, Top Esports just needs to beat T1 to win the championship."
"Loan, still taking out a loan."
At this moment, in Top Esports' training room, everyone was watching the match in addition to playing ranked games.
When he saw DRX push Samsung to the brink, Coach Fang praised DRX's draft picks and has been emulating them ever since.
Jack Spicy Dance said, "Deford feels like he's really going to make it; Samsung's form isn't right."
Gao Tianliang: "What's said online is right, Chaowei always..."
Mark: "Haha, a spineless coward, huh? That's pretty ruthless."
Left Hand: "It seems so. If they keep playing like this, they're definitely going to lose."
Lin Jin also said, "DRX is blessed with good fortune."
"That's a bit of a stretch, Little Fire."
In the fourth game, Samsung picked Ryze for the mid and jungle, while DRX opted for Kindred and Galio, with Varus and Braum still in the bot lane, maximizing their laning strength.
Samsung secured control of the dragon and the vanguard in the early game, and also had an economic lead.
The turning point came in the jungle. In the 26th minute, three DRX players caught Peanut's Blade of the Ruined King and then started Baron Nashor.
Samsung played well in a 4v5 situation, but DRX successfully secured Baron Nashor, achieving an economic comeback.
Is it the same old story again?
At the 34-minute mark of the game, a fierce team fight for the Dragon Soul was taking place between the two sides.
DRX jungler P's Kindred secured the Ocean Dragon Soul with a crucial Smite.
This immediately ignited the passion of everyone at DRX.
The commentators were also shouting loudly:
"Pyosik! Kindred! One Smite, and the Dragon Soul is secured!!"
"My God! DRX is going to win! They're really going to win!"
"Team fight, what can I say? Samsung couldn't withstand it. Rule flashed to trade with Deft, but Kingen's Gragas blew him away."
"It wasn't changed, wow! Kingen!"
"Daef's Varus was hitting maximum damage, constantly auto-attacking without stopping."
"A team wipe of three stars! And they even got the Baron!"
"With the two dragons combined, how will Samsung withstand this wave?"
"Wow! Incredible team fight, incredible DRX!"
"DRX is about to end the game in one fell swoop!"
The audience at the scene were chanting DRX's name.
The South Korean commentators found it unbelievable.
"DRX! Are they going to defeat GEN?"
"Is this history about to be made?"
"Oh my god! LCK's fourth seed has made it to the finals!"
In the footage, Samsung employees fall one by one.
Chaowei, rule, and Xiaohuasheng all started scratching their heads one after another.
There was nothing they could do but watch helplessly as their base was destroyed.
"Bang!"
competition is over.
The DRX members embraced each other excitedly.
They made it to the final as the fourth seed!
This has made history for the World Championship finals!
BeryL, on the other hand, has reached the World Championship finals for three consecutive years!
At the moment the game ended, DeFord was so moved that he shed tears.
