Faker (Lee Sang-hyuk) and Ruler (Park Jae-hyuk), who also played for the national team at the time, entered into a battle of revenge for the first time in five years.

The LoL national team, consisting of six members including Lee Sang-hyuk, Park Jae-hyuk, Chovy (Jung Ji-hoon), Zeus (Choi Woo-jae), Kanavi (Seo Jin-hyuk), and Keria (Ryu Min-seok), won the best-of-three quarterfinal match against Saudi Arabia with a set score of 2 to 0. reaped.

The game was so overwhelming that the total game time took less than 40 minutes.

Among the mid laners who attracted attention due to the competition between Sang-hyuk Lee and Ji-hoon Jeong for the starting position, Ji-hoon Jeong played as a starter against Saudi Arabia and performed well.

As Korea and China are evaluated as one step above other countries, the semifinal match between the two teams held tomorrow is evaluated as a gold medal match in fact. In fact, the League of Legends World Championship (hereinafter referred to as Worlds).

The most prestigious international competition in League of Legends, has been held a total of 12 times since 2011, of which the Korean team won the most with a total of 7 times, followed by the Chinese team with a total of 3 times. there is.

Looking at the past 5 years, the situation is tight with the Chinese team in the 3rd episode and the Korean team in the 2nd episode. In another international competition, the MSI (Mid-Season Invitational), the Chinese team has won 5 times and the Korean team has won 2 times, leading China.

In a situation where the skills of the players of both Korea and China are not equal, China's 'territoriality' is considered the biggest variable.

As it takes place in Hangzhou, there is a lot of cheering and booing from Chinese home fans.

In addition, China announced that after holding a preliminary round called 'Road to Asian Games', the team ranked first in the regional preliminary round would advance directly to the quarterfinals, as was not previously announced.

Accordingly, China was able to have sufficient practice time and rest until the quarterfinals against Macau on the morning of the 27th, but Korea and Japan, which had not been notified of this in advance, did not participate in the preliminaries and had to start from the preliminaries.

The biggest territoriality is the lack of experience in the main stadium. China held the quarterfinals at the main stadium of the e-Sports Center, the main stage where the semifinals and finals will be held.

However, our national team played both the preliminary and quarterfinal matches in the auxiliary stadium.

While China has experienced and adapted to the stage in advance, our national team will have to play tomorrow in an unfamiliar environment.

National LoL coach Kim Jeong-gyun also expressed concern about this after confirming his team's advancement to the semifinals.

He said, “I think the shouting and cheering (of the Chinese cheering squad) is inevitable because it is held in China,” and “The biggest worry is that today China played in the main stadium, while we played in the auxiliary stadium.

“I’m most worried about this because the difference between adapting and not adapting is so big,” he explained.

Despite these adverse conditions, Coach Kim said, “I am focusing on practicing and doing my best every day with the goal of winning the gold medal.

He expressed his confidence by saying, “I am confident that I will win tomorrow,” and “I hope tomorrow comes quickly.”

If our national team wins the semifinals against China, it will advance to the finals at 8 PM on the 29th. If they lose, the bronze medal match will be held at 3 PM on the same day.
