Chapter 173 RNG Clown Team! Still want to fight for 1st, 2nd and 3rd? RNG only deserves to be fourth in the group!
With the end of the sixth game on the second day of the group stage and the G2 team easily defeating the TL team, the points rankings for the second day of the MSI group stage were officially released!
First place, G2 team, 4-0.
Second place, KZ team, 3-1.
Third place, FW team, 3-1.
Fourth place, EVS team, 1-3.
Fifth place, RNG team, 1-3.
Sixth place, TL team, 0-4.
And when this ranking came out, all LPL fans were immediately shocked!
If the RNG team failed to win any game on the first day of MSI yesterday because they were in poor condition, then what is the reason why today's record of one win and one loss means that even the Flash Wolves were unable to beat them?
Is it still because RNG is in bad shape?!
"GG! RNG kept saying before the game that they would start from this MSI championship and regain all the championships they lost, but the result is this? I am afraid that it is difficult to even achieve the goal of qualifying for six and four groups!"
"Is this another promising year for the LPL? It's so hopeful! RNG should come back from Europe as soon as possible, and don't embarrass yourself in the World Championship!"
"No wonder Dark said that these five people from RNG are not worthy of being selected for the Asian Games. Now it seems that they are indeed not worthy!"
"It's so funny. I have Big Brother in North America and Uzi in LPL. I'm ranked first and second in the group respectively. They can be regarded as brothers."
"I heard that the two teams ranked in front of RNG are wild cards? I think LPL and NA should be classified as wild cards by fist!"
"I hope that in tomorrow's match between TL and RNG, TL can work harder and directly win RNG. After all, LPL has always claimed to be the first division in the world. Let's give them a chance to be the bottom division in the world tomorrow!"
With the end of the second day of the 2018 MSI group stage, there was no need for Mingrui to take action himself, or even G2 fans to speak for Mingrui. LPL fans themselves scolded the RNG team bloody.
Although before the start of MSI, LPL fans supported the RNG team and hoped that the RNG team could really win the championship. After all, the RNG team ultimately represents their LPL division.
However, when the RNG team played four games in two days and only defeated one wild card EVS team, all the LPL fans who were not RNG fans could no longer sit still and cursed the RNG team as trash.
MSI has nothing but embarrassment for LPL!
And just when Dark and all LPL fans felt that the RNG team would definitely stop in the MSI group stage and become the biggest shame in the history of the LPL region.
On the third day of the group stage, the RNG team finally stood up and regained its form, or it could be said that it was woken up by the scolding of LPL fans!
On the third day of the group stage, against the TL team and the Flash Wolves team, the RNG team actually won the games one after another. While achieving a complete victory in a single day for the first time, it also successfully regained the promotion with 3-3 points.
Possibility of knockout!
As for the other four games in the group stage, they were also crushing games for the G2 team and the KZ team. They all won the game with a complete victory in both games and continued to lead the standings on the third day of the group stage.
First place, G2 team, 6-0.
Second place, KZ team, 5-1.
Third place, RNG team, 3-3.
Fourth place, FW team, 3-3.
Fifth place, EVS team, 1-5.
Sixth place, TL team, 0-6.
Logically speaking, after the third day of the MSI group stage, the situation of qualifying for the group stage has become very clear. After all, each team only needs to play a total of 10 BO1 games in the group stage. If they want to successfully advance to the knockout rounds,
You need to win at least 5 games.
Therefore, the elimination of the EVS team and the TL team has almost become a certainty. Unless the EVS team wins four consecutive victories in the next two days, otherwise the four teams of G2, KZ, RNG and FW
If you have a qualifying spot, it is almost impossible to miss out on others.
But is it possible for the EVS team to win four consecutive games?
It's obviously impossible, because it's impossible for the G2 team to agree!
Therefore, after the RNG team has steadily qualified for the knockout rounds, the LPL fans who scolded the RNG team as a shame to the LPL division last night have rekindled their hopes for the RNG team tonight and expressed their support for the "group's first place".
The incident of "Second Qualification" started their fantasy.
Although LPL fans, especially RNG fans, are very dissatisfied with the arrogance of the G2 team, they believe that even if the RNG team encounters the G2 team in the MSI semi-finals, they will definitely be able to defeat them directly and eliminate the G2 team in advance.
However, amid concerns that "RNG team's condition has not returned to its best" and "it will definitely be easier to play against FW team in the semi-finals", RNG fans still hope that RNG team can at least qualify as second in the group.
.
In this way, the RNG team can avoid being picked by the G2 team in the semi-finals, and being forced to expose their tactical cards in the semi-finals. Once exposed, even if the RNG team wins the semi-finals, they will not be able to face them in the finals.
When playing against the KZ team, the difficulty of winning the championship will also be greatly increased!
Of course, for the RNG team, the best situation is that the RNG team will win all four games in the next two days and the G2 team will lose all. In this way, the RNG team may even have a chance to qualify as the first in the group!
And at that time, when the RNG team has the initiative to select its semi-final opponents, the RNG team's room for maneuver will be greatly improved!
But just when RNG fans, including the RNG players themselves, were all thinking about it, with the end of the fourth day of the MSI group stage, everyone in RNG once again received a blow, and once again experienced what it means to truly "ideal"
"It's very full, the reality is very skinny" despair!
Although when facing the EVS team again, the RNG team easily won and won three consecutive group stage victories with great momentum.
But in the subsequent game against the KZ team, the RNG team was not able to complete their revenge, nor could they continue their "powerful" state. Instead, after a full 40 minutes of fierce battle, they lost with great regret.
This round is a crucial game for RNG!
Because with the loss of this game, the RNG team has completely lost its hope of competing for first place in the group, and even its hope of competing for second place in the group has been shattered!
Because as the KZ team once again won two games, their group stage points have reached 7-1. Even if the KZ team loses all two games tomorrow, the KZ team can still secure the second place in the group with 7-3 points.
Outline.
It is even possible to complete the revenge against the G2 team and finally advance to the knockout rounds as the first in the group!
With the end of the fourth day of the group stage, the standings have been updated again.
First place, G2 team, 8-0.
Second place, KZ team, 7-1.
Third place, RNG team, 4-4.
Fourth place, FW team, 3-5.
Fifth place, EVS team, 1-7.
Sixth place, TL team, 1-7.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that the TL team finally awakened after being already 0-6, became a water ghost, and won a game against the FW team.
And this is great news for the RNG team, because it means that they can basically lock in the qualification for third place in their group.
As for the official end of the group stage tomorrow, whether it is the G2 team or the KZ team that is about to become the first team in the group, they need to carefully consider whether they should choose the RNG team, which is third in the group and has unfathomable strength, or choose the fourth team in the group.
The FW team whose strength can be shattered at the first touch.
However, what once again made all LPL fans never expect that the explosion of TL team is still continuing!
In the first game on the sixth day of the group stage, the TL team still continued their water ghost state yesterday and successfully dragged the RNG team into the water!
It directly gave the RNG team a 4-5 record, instantly putting the RNG team's third place in the group in jeopardy!
The good news is that after the G2 team defeated the EVS team in the second game, the FW team once again lost the game as expected in the third game against the KZ team, and the record became 3-6.
But the bad news is that the FW team’s last opponent is the EVS team, which is already 1-8!
In other words, the RNG team, not to mention being second in the group as they had imagined before, may not even be able to keep the third place in the group now!
Therefore, if the RNG team wants to steadily maintain the third position in the group instead of playing the playoffs with the FW team, then they must complete their revenge in the fourth game against the G2 team!
But, does the RNG team have that ability?
they do not!
Even though the jungler of the RNG team in this game was Karsa instead of Mlxg, in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the G2 team, the RNG team was still as weak as a small boat in front of a monstrous tsunami!
Although the RNG team lasted a few minutes longer after Casa came on the court than when Mala Xiangguo was on the court, in the end, the RNG team still lost miserably to the G2 team and ended with a final score of 4-6.
All battles in the 2018MSI group stage!
As for whether the RNG team will end up third or fourth in the group?
They can't control their own destiny at all, they can only watch the face of the Flash Wolf team!
It is obvious that the Flash Wolves team also does not want to give the RNG team any good looks, and they themselves also want to advance as the third place in the group!
So in the next fifth game, the FW team showed no mercy when facing the EVS team and quickly ended the game in just over 20 minutes.
While giving the EVS team a 1-9 final record, it also successfully prevented the 2-8 TL team from finishing last in the MSI group like last year's TSM team.
For senior brother, this may be considered an improvement?
…
"good!"
"Welcome all the viewers on site and in front of the screen to come back to our 2018 MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational!"
"Hello everyone, I am Hao Kai, the commentator of this game!"
"Hello everyone, I am commentator Zhou Shuyi!"
After the short intermission commercial ended, in the LPL official live broadcast room, the two commentators for today's second half of the game once again appeared on the screens of all LPL fans.
After quickly reading a simple advertisement, Hao Kai immediately analyzed the points situation of the MSI group stage so far.
"Because the RNG team unfortunately suffered two consecutive losses in the last two group matches, the RNG team at this time is the same as the FW team that just won the EVS team, with the same points of 4-6."
"This means that after the last round of the game between the G2 team and the KZ team, RNG and FW need to go through the final extra round to determine who is the final third place in the group stage."
"But there may be more than just one extra match tonight, because the G2 team's current points are 9-0 and the KZ team's points are 8-1, so if the KZ team can successfully defeat the G2 team in the last game, then
The two teams that are both 9-1 also need to play another extra game to determine who is the final winner of the group!"
Hao Kai looked at the camera and said solemnly, his face full of worry about the RNG team. After all, whether it is the G2 team or the KZ team, it is a very powerful opponent for the RNG team!
"To be honest, I actually hope that the G2 team will win. After all, the overall strength of the Flash Wolves team is much weaker than that of the RNG team. As long as the RNG team succeeds in finishing third in the group, it is absolutely impossible for the G2 team that ranks first in the group to go.
Choose the RNG team ranked third in the group as your opponent in the semi-finals."
"Although Dark is targeting our LPL team everywhere, he said that the semi-final opponent will definitely not count. It is unlikely that the G2 team's coaching staff will leave a weaker FW team and choose a new team.
The RNG team will definitely complete its transformation in the semi-finals!"
"And if the RNG team's opponent in the semi-finals is the KZ team, our chances of advancing to the finals will be very high, because we can also see the two small games that RNG lost to KZ. In fact, they were both very regrettable losses."
"As long as the RNG team completes its breakthrough against the KZ team in the semi-finals, then in the finals, the fully-charged RNG team will definitely be able to complete its revenge against the G2 team, and then win our second LPL title after three years.
MSI championship trophy, also won the RNG team’s first MSI championship trophy!”
Zhou Shuyi also said seriously from the side.
Although the RNG team lost two games in a row today, and although the G2 team and the KZ team did not win a game, she is still full of confidence in the RNG team's follow-up journey in this MSI!
"Actually, according to Sister Zhou's analysis, it doesn't matter who ranks first in this group. After all, as long as the RNG team takes third place in the group, it will inevitably face the weaker of the top two in the semifinals."
"Since it is the weaker one, whether it is KZ or G2, the RNG team will definitely defeat it successfully and advance to the finals!"
"But the premise is that the RNG team can win the final playoff!"
"Of course, before the playoffs, the first thing we need to pay attention to is the current strong matchup!"
"Whether it is the G2 team or the KZ team, they have shown us strong dominance in this MSI, and they are both opponents that our RNG team must pay attention to!"
"So, will the G2 team win the group stage again after winning the MSI group stage last year? Or will the KZ team give the G2 team its first defeat and drag the final suspense of being first in the group into the finals?
What about the playoffs?”
"Now, let's wait and see!"
Hao Kai said impassionedly, and as his words fell, the camera in the LPL official live broadcast room immediately switched to the Berlin competition scene. At the same time, members of both teams just walked onto the stage from the player channel.
"I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you the rosters of players from both teams."
"For the G2 team, Wunder is the top laner, Dark is the jungler, Caps is the mid laner, Perkz is the bottom laner, and Hylissang is the support laner."
"For the KZ team, the top laner is Khan, the jungler is Cuzz, the mid laner is Bdd, the bottom laner is Pray, and the assist is GorillA."
"It's worth mentioning that the junglers of the KZ team have been rotated, replacing Peanut and replacing them with new jungler Cuzz."
"Maybe it's because Peanut's performance against Dark in the first round of the group stage was not satisfactory, so in this round, the KZ team hopes to have some impact on the G2 team through a change of formation."
"And this is also Cuzz's first appearance in this MSI. I think there is still a chance to catch the G2 team by surprise."
Zhou Shuyi introduced seriously, her eyes full of expectation.
After all, if the KZ team wins this round, it means that the G2 team is not truly invincible. Then in the subsequent BO5 knockout match between the RNG team and the G2 team, the RNG team will definitely win!
"Yes, I hope that Cuzz player can perform impressively. I still hope to watch one more extra round. After all, this way the RNG team can have more research data on the two teams in one round!
"
"Okay, we see that the players from both teams are ready."
"Now let's enter the final game of the regular stage of the MSI group stage together!"
As Hao Kai's voice fell again, the final game officially entered the BP stage.
In the last round, the blue side of the G2 team bans first and picks first.
Tam!Lo!EZ!
The first three bans of the G2 team all targeted the bottom lane of the KZ team, especially the support player Gorilla, because this guy's protective support is really strong. In the past group stage games, his protective support, especially
It's Tam, who has saved the life of Rat King Pray so many times!
Bron! Wheel Mom! Little Cannon!
The first three players on the KZ team also did their part to ban, and they also banned Braum from Hilisan. After all, Braum is a hero that can both protect and start a team in the current version, which can be said to be very strong.
As for the wheel mom and the cannon, they are aimed at Perkz. Although Perkz has just switched to adc position less than half a year ago, through the past nine consecutive victories, Perkz has actually proven that he can also become the world's top player in the adc position.
of!
As Perkz said on Twitter before, the adc position may be much easier than the mid laner!
At this point, the first round of bans for both teams has ended.
Troll King Trundle!
The next moment, the G2 team’s first-floor selection was immediately locked in, and the jungler Troll was selected in seconds.
Although in the S7 World Championship last year, the troll jungler was still a black technology hero unique to Dark, but this year, because of the popularity of Olaf's jungler in the jungle, the troll has been obtained by more and more people.
In the jungle position, use his E skill pillar to counter Olaf in the jungle.
Of course, the troll jungler is not without its natural enemies, but Dark still decided to snatch it away.
One is because he is not afraid of any counter from the newcomer Cuzz.
The second reason is that as long as he grabs the jungler, the G2 team can match Counter in the subsequent selections on the second, third and fourth floors!
After all, you must know that except for Dark himself, the other four members of the current G2 team all have the strength to stand alone!
