Chapter 460 The end of the group stage

Although the support of teams in other divisions saw from OMG's first defeat that the LPL team was not invincible, what they expected in the future did not happen after all.

OMG suffered a minor setback at the hands of Samsung Blue, but it did not affect the overall performance of the LPL team.

The two brother teams LG.S and LG.G continued to be as strong as the first round in the second round. They swept the other teams in the group with an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and continued their winning streak unstoppably.

At the end of the group stage, both teams successfully qualified first in the group with undefeated records.

Even the OMG team, which suffered a small setback, did not seem to be too affected in the second round of the group stage. Not only did it maintain its victory against European and American C in the group, it even succeeded against Samsung Blue.

Found the place.

When facing Samsung Blue again, OMG maintained its fierce and aggressive tactical style while also strengthening its tactical operations. In the end, OMG used its good early attack to break through the iron wall of Samsung Blue's defense, and the battle with Samsung Blue became a success.

One to one level.

But it is a pity that both teams have a record of 5 to 1, so they will naturally have to play in an extra round.

In the final extra round, Samsung Blue adjusted the ban selection in time, which enhanced the team's early confrontation ability and strengthened the team's coordination. In the end, after a fierce battle, OMG still missed a move and lost to Samsung.

Blue, second in the group advances.

When the group stage of Group D ended, the group stage of Group S also officially ended. Seeing the results of the final group stage, all the audiences except China and South Korea shook their heads and sighed, especially the European audiences.

There are a total of eight places in the group stage. The Chinese team can be said to occupy four places, and the Korean team occupies three places. The two together account for 7%.

However, some people may ask, doesn’t it mean that each division can only have a maximum of three teams participating in the S competition? Even if all teams qualify, there are only three teams, but why are there four Chinese teams?

But in the eyes of many people, it is not just the three teams in the LPL that can be regarded as Chinese teams.

Apart from the two Bayan teams in the Southeast Asia Division, there is another team that many people regard as a Chinese team that also broke out of the group stage. They are the Royal Team 2 that was also mentioned before - LMQ.

Team.

This team was originally the second team of the Royal Club. After the end of S3, the top laner of the first team, Shenchao, was transferred to the team to strengthen the top lane. Later, due to the internal planning of the Royal Club, it went to the North American division.

Starting from the second level of the North American Division, we won all the way, jumped from the second level to the first level, and then entered the playoffs, and finally won C9 and entered the North American finals.

Although they ultimately lost to the North American team TSM with a record of 2 to 3, they successfully entered the World Championship as the second seed in the North American division.

During this process, Shenchao, who often teamed up with Xiao Min, wreaked havoc on the top lane of North America. The bottom lane combination of Death Declaration and Doomsday also dominated the bottom lane of North America.

The two eventually won the titles of the No. 1 top laner in the North American Division and the No. 1 ADC in the North American Division respectively.

Although this team is the second seed in the North American Division and competes in the name of the North American Division, its entire team, from players to coaches, are all Chinese. Therefore, in the eyes of many outsiders, this is not only a North American team, but also a North American team.

It's a Chinese team.

In the end, China and South Korea each ranked first in two groups and second in one group. In the North American division, two teams, TSM and LMQ, broke through and entered the quarterfinals with second place in the group.

Other divisions, including the traditionally powerful EU division, as well as the Southeast Asian division and the wild card division, did not have a single team break through to the top eight, and all the teams in the group went home.

North American fans can finally stand up and say loudly this time: NA is bigger than EU. After all, they have two top eight spots this time.

The results of the group stage also triggered a wave of public opinion, and forums in various League of Legends circles around the world were discussing it heatedly.

"I really didn't expect that this time all the European divisions fell in the group stage. Is it really the LA Guardian?"

"What's even more unexpected is LMQ. I didn't expect that the second team of an LPL team that didn't enter the World Championship would rush from the lower leagues all the way to the World Championship. Not only that, they also successfully qualified and reached the eighth level.

Qiang, who would have thought of this a few months ago?"

"A question suddenly occurred to me. If the current LMQ returned to the LPL league, where would they be in the league?"

"In other words, what position can the champions and runner-ups of our division achieve in the LPL?"

As soon as this statement came out, the forum could not help but fall into a cold silence.

"It seems that according to rumors, LMQ plays training matches with their royal team, and they often lose more than they win."

"Royal Family? Aren't they the top four in the World Championship in S3? It's normal that they can't beat LMQ, right? But what's their results this year? Why didn't they come to the World Championship?"

"Coming to the World Championships, it seems they didn't even make it to the playoffs, but even if they did, they would still be a team on the fringe of the playoffs."

"So what you are saying is that we are second in the division and the top eight in the world can't even make the playoffs in the LPL?" said a fan who looked at the North American division.

"Isn't the LPL division so scary? A team that appears on the fringe of the playoffs can compete with the champions of other major divisions?"

"Hiss, is it so scary?"

"This...that...isn't necessarily true. After all, it's a training match. It's still different from a formal match. It's not necessarily true."

"............"

Not to mention the overall strength of the LPL, the information from these netizens is still correct, that is, during the training matches, LMQ had a very difficult time facing the Royal Family.

Although the results of the Royal Club this season are not very good due to the turmoil of the club, in the fierce competition environment of the LPL division, several newly introduced young players of the Royal Club have grown very quickly.

Especially Coke in the upper unit and Corn in the middle unit. Under the fierce online competition in the LPL, their potential was quickly tapped. Coupled with the talented AD UZI, by the end of the season, the Royal Family's state was

There has been a considerable rebound.

After all, LMQ is in the North American division where there is less competitive pressure. Even though they often communicate with LPL teams and play training games, it is inevitable that the condition of the players will decline.

This is true even for the hardest-working Shenchao, not to mention the pressure of facing Uzi with Death Announcement, so it is not surprising that LMQ has a difficult time facing the Royal Family.
