The next day, the semi-finals between T1 and GEN began.

Everyone in TES gathered together to watch the game. In the training room, Lu Yi found a place to sit down.

Suddenly, Meiko came in with several paper bags, put them on the table, and said:

"The coach asked me to buy some local specialties. You can eat them as you like. I don't usually eat these things."

Everyone took out various foods from the bags and ate while watching the game. At this time, the players from both sides, GEN and T1, were coming on stage. The starting players on both sides looked very confident and felt that they could win.

While still in the BP, Lu Yi took out his phone and took a look, mainly to see the current pace online:

[It feels so good to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, hahaha. ]

[Bet big or small, buy it and leave it! 】

[I feel like T1 is no match for GEN. T1 is not called a killer for nothing! ]

[It doesn't matter. We were all defeated by TES. It's just a matter of losing to TES again after advancing.]

Lu Yi looked at the screen. The BP on both sides was over. Just like the game screen, Chovy got the Ahri, and Faker chose Quesanti as the mid laner!
Meiko muttered, "What level is Faker's Quesanthi at? Do you know?"

Ah Shui responded: "With his talent, he will definitely be good."

Meiko nodded. "That's true."

Soon, this view was confirmed. Faker's Quesanti was indeed something and caused a lot of trouble for GEN. The fox had no way to deal with Quesanti and could not control or beat him.

In the Rift Herald team battle, the role of Ahri was completely incomparable to that of Quesanti, and GEN's mid, top and jungle were chased by Quesanti.

Xiaotian complained: "This hero is really disgusting, just like a gangster. You can't kill him by hitting him, but if you don't hit him, he will disgust you."

Lu Yi teased, “Quisanti is like this.”

Soon, the game entered garbage time. GEN failed to win two Rift Herald team fights, resulting in the middle lane tower being pushed down very early.

In the end, T1 easily won the first game.

Shan Ji suddenly said: "Could it be that T1 really defeated GEN? To be honest, I would rather play against GEN than T1."

Xiaotian complained: "Don't you just think Zeus is more powerful than Doran, so you don't want to face Zeus?"

Shan Ji muttered: "Zeus is more powerful than Dolan, isn't that a fact?"

Immediately afterwards, the second game began and players from both teams took to the field again.

This time the situation was even more complicated. T1's mid and top lanes exerted their strength at the same time. Although GEN's bottom lane performed well with the help of the jungler, the gap between the mid, top and jungle was too big, which directly stunned GEN.

The director gave a close-up of Chovy, who looked very unhappy at this moment, especially when he lost the last team battle and was about to be defeated. Chovy looked like he was about to collapse.

Shan Ji gloated: "Hahaha, didn't Dolan yell at Yishen before? Can he still yell now?"

Xiaotian commented: "It feels like T1 has become stronger. They are improving and learning."

Lu Yi said: "I feel that it was mainly because GEN revealed too much when playing against us. T1 already knew how to beat GEN, so they were very well prepared and defeated GEN right from the start."

The third game started, which was the most tense game for both sides. Chovy took out Yongen in the opposite version and perfectly suppressed Faker in the middle lane. His performance in small-scale team battles was also very good, leading his teammates to establish an advantage in the early stage.

But this time there was a problem in the bottom lane. Gumayusi was like a chicken with blood, and he pinned GEN's bottom lane to the ground. Although it was because his teammates helped him first, his performance in the bottom lane itself was also very good.

The support Keria had a stroke of genius and roamed the middle lane, cooperating with the jungler to end Chovy's Yongen, and the situation suddenly began to tilt towards T1.

But GEN did not wait to die, but chose to resist. The two sides fought back and forth, with each winning and losing, and the battle lasted until forty minutes.

Xiaotian exclaimed: "There aren't many games in this version that can last forty minutes. Usually, a dragon soul is available in thirty minutes."

Shan Ji muttered, "Now both sides have three dragons. It's time to decide the winner. This is the last team fight."

Chovy's Yongen took the lead and almost killed Faker instantly, but because the damage was just a little bit less, Faker survived and looked for a place to return to the city for supplies, and he still had TP.

Xiaotian couldn't help but get nervous: "This wave is crucial. GEN wants to gain time and kill the little dragon before Faker comes back. This is a desperate move!"

"We are safe if we take the dragon soul. Whose little dragon is it? The little dragon... ah? The little dragon was taken away by Oner? What are you doing, Peanut?"

An outrageous scene appeared. Oner easily snatched away GEN's little dragon. T1 got the dragon soul with fewer people. The team battle was about to break out, but unfortunately Faker had already TPed to the front.

GEN was missing Yongen's ultimate, while T1 had an extra dragon soul, so the team battle became one-sided.

Shan Ji complained: "Ah? Is this possible? The game is lost just because of a punishment?"

After winning the team battle, T1 will go for the Baron and then start advancing.

Ah Shui made a judgment: "That's it, that's it, we can think about how to beat T1 now."

The result was just as everyone expected. T1 pushed down the GEN base crystal in one wave and won the game.

Zhan Ma greeted: "The game is over, T1 swept GEN, few people could have expected this in advance."

"Then we will play against T1 in the finals. You can tell us what you think and we can discuss it together."

Xiaotian spoke first: "Although we have played against each other before and won, I feel that the current T1 is much stronger than before and is not easy to deal with."

Shan Ji agreed: "T1 has always been difficult to deal with."

"This team can create miracles at any time."

Ah Shui complained: "You guys are too cowardly, it's just a T1..."

Just then, the post-match interview began, and this time the subject of the interview was Gumayusi.

The host asked: "You lost to TES in the loser group last time, and you will meet TES again in the finals. Do you have anything to say?"

Gumayusi said: "The last time we lost to TES, it was because we were not well prepared. The games in our league were quite intense, so we didn't spend too much time studying our opponents for MSI."

"We have more time this time, so the championship will definitely belong to us, T1."

Shan Ji got angry after hearing this: "What's wrong with this little Lu Bu? How dare he yell at us? Has he forgotten how he lost to us last time?"

Lu Yi joked: "I guess he didn't forget, he just pretended to forget. But it's okay, we can fight as we should."

The host continued to ask: "How do you evaluate TES's starting ADC player, Jackeylove? Who do you think is better between you and him?"

Gumayusi smiled confidently: "I think Jackeylove is a very lucky player, because since he started playing professionally, his teammates have been very strong. Such players tend to overestimate their own videos. I think I am much better than him."

“Fuck!” Everyone in TES looked at A Shui.

Xiaotian provoked: "The other side has come to kill us, Wenbo, don't you have anything to say?"

Ah Shui smiled contemptuously: "Let him be strong, the breeze blows over the hills; let him be arrogant, the bright moon shines on the river!"

"Good poem! Good poem!" Lu Yi applauded on the spot.

A Shui continued: "This time, I will prove on the finals stage who is the world's number one ADC now!"

Meiko screamed: "Ahhh! Wenbo! Wenbo!" Shan Ji immediately turned into a little fan of A Shui: "Wenbo is so awesome! Wenbo! The pride of our Top Esports!"

Xiaotian also joined in: "Then we can rest assured. I will give the stage to you and you can perform."

Zhan Ma said, "In order to win this final, let's start training early. Let's start training against T1 now and review their MSI games first, mainly to find their flaws."

"Especially since T1 lost the game, we need to watch more."

So everyone in TES started to take action. Although the time was short and the game had to start every day, they had to race against time.

Meanwhile, there has been a row online:
[In this final, T1 will prove to the world that they are the world's number one team! ]

[Can you stop bragging and win first? When was the last time T1 won the world championship? ]

[He has transformed this time, and he transformed right after defeating GEN! ]

【Take off! T1, take off! Defeat Top Esports and get revenge! 】

The morale of T1 fans is very high right now, it feels like T1 has already won.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, at the game site, the TES bus slowly entered the parking lot.

When passing by the entrance just now, Lu Yi saw quite a few spectators entering, holding various welcome signs in their hands. Among them, it was visibly more TES cheering signs than T1.

TES has won championships continuously in the past few seasons and has been recognized by most people, even overseas audiences.

After the car stopped, Zhan Ma said, "Get ready to get off. Don't forget to take your things with you."

Lu Yi got out of the car, and at this moment, another bus drove over, stopped in front of the TES people, and the door opened.

Gumayusi was the first one to get off the car. He glanced over and his eyes fell on A Shui with a fierce expression.

Ah Shui was not lenient at all, and the two of them just looked at each other, and it felt like a fight might break out at any time.

Shan Ji said, "Wenbo, go beat him up on the road! Give him a slap!"

Ah Shui looked over and said, "Why don't you go? Go and kick each of the people on the other side."

Meiko smiled, "Okay, let's go in first."

The TES team walked towards the venue. The two teams walked side by side along the passage, all the way to the fork in the road. TES went to the left and T1 went to the right.

After entering the lounge, Lu Yi put his bag on the chair, sat down and started playing with his mobile phone.

There is a message from JDG in the group.

EDG, FOFO: "Come on, Top Esports, it's up to you guys"

EDG, Leave: "It seems that Tian Ye is going to win the championship. Congratulations, Tian Ye."

TES, Meiko: "I will work hard and not hold everyone back."

TES, Shanji: "Do you know how much pressure I put on Zeus?"

EDG, Jiejie: ​​“Don’t give up, I think your teammates can lead you to victory.”

TES, Shanji: "Damn it, you dare to look down on me! I...I won't let you guys have this one!"

Lu Yi smiled. It seemed that everyone was quite optimistic.

Open the forum and take a look. Dolan has turned into a clown. After all, he had previously threatened to beat TES in the finals. Lu Yi mentioned this during an interview.

As a result, GEN didn't even make it to the finals.

[Dolan: After studying our opponent in this final, we won’t go to the final! ]

[Dolan is a good comrade. In order to avoid actually defeating TES, he chose not to go to the finals. ]

[It's outrageous, being swept by T1? Did they do it on purpose, trying to give us a surprise? ]

[Don’t ask, asking is confidence! ]

After a moment, Zhan Ma called out, "It's almost time, let's go on stage."

So everyone in TES stood up, left the lounge, and prepared to go on stage.

At the competition venue, the audience seats were already packed before the game even started. Fans of LCK and LPL were competing with each other, waving their cheering signs wildly.

In the commentary booth of the LPL region, Wawa, Miller, remember the three of them are ready.

Wawa explained: "The upcoming MSI finals will be between TES from LPL and T1 from LCK."

Miller continued: "Both teams are in very good shape right now. TES swept GEN 1-, and T also completed the feat of sweeping GEN. Now GEN has gone from being the No. seed in LCK to a unit of measurement."

Remember to joke: "This is a different time. T1 has learned from their mistakes in the loser group and has transformed after a lot of hard work. We can see how they perform in the finals. Maybe they will surprise us."

The host comes on stage and after a brief opening speech, invites contestants from both sides to come on stage.

First up was TES. Lyu Yi led his teammates onto the stage, and the audience cheered in unison: "Top! Top! Top!"

Then came T1. LCK fans were unwilling to be outdone: "T1! T1! T1!"

The players from both sides stood in the middle of the stage, accepting the audience's welcome and cheers, and then faced each other, with Lu Yi facing Faker.

At this moment, Faker's eyes were sharp, his expression was very serious, and he was full of murderous intent. It seemed that he came with a heart of revenge.

This is also a good thing. Lu Yi also wants to see how much pressure Faker can put on him.

Both parties extended their hands, shook hands, turned around, and walked towards their respective positions.

Lu Yi came to his position, put on headphones, debugged the equipment, and everything was ready. The first game began and entered the BP phase.

In this game, TES is on the red side and T1 is on the blue side.

BAN position situation:
TES: Gwen, Gnar, Master Yi

T1: Monkey King, Ruined King, Aphelios

Wawa began to analyze: "In this game, T1 didn't ban any mid laners. It feels very strange. In addition, Top Esports released Quesanti. In the semi-finals between T1 and GEN, Faker's Quesanti played quite well. In other words, T1's Quesanti can now swing between mid and top lane. This is quite scary."

Miller commented: "Indeed, we don't need to say much about Zeus's Quesanti. Faker also played so well. Top Esports chose not to ban him. Is it because they have a way to deal with it? I think it's possible that they have a way to deal with it in the mid lane, but what about the top lane?"

Entering the hero selection phase, the blue team's T1 first floor locked on Quesanti.

I remember the commentator said: "Here comes T1's Quesanti, he can play mid or top, it depends on how they choose."

It was TES's turn. TES locked Xia on the first floor and Luo on the second floor.

Wow Wow analyzed: "Xayah and Rakan are indeed a combination that is not so afraid of being approached by Quesanti, but they need to develop well to be able to beat Quesanti." (End of this chapter)
