After the game, there was a lot of criticism against EDG on the Internet. However, with the No. 1 seeds in other divisions also being eliminated, when it comes to "the No. 1 seeds hold hands, whoever makes it to the quarterfinals is a dog", it's okay.
Attracted some of the firepower for edg.
Edg really deserves to be criticized. This year's competition held in China is definitely the most united year for all LPL viewers. In this last game against SKT, countless viewers were speaking out for EDG, but EDG failed everyone.
Due to the expectations of fans, no one can accept such a result.
But regardless of whether you can accept it or not, this result cannot be changed.
So far, the two teams that have advanced to Group A have also come out, namely skt and c9. The group stage of s7 has completely ended. The eight teams that have advanced in the four groups this time are:
Group a:skt,c9
Group b:lz,fnc
g,ssg
Group d:ig,msf
Except for lz, the number one seeds in other divisions have already withdrawn from the s7 stage early. As the strongest team with the highest voice in this lck, their record of victory in the group stage is indeed worthy of the name. However, from this time, the number 1 seed in the world in s7
Judging from the performance of the collective hip stretch, it is still unknown how far the No. 1 seed lz can go.
The No. 1 seeds in each major competition area in each S-tournament are definitely not weak. These are the teams with the best results in their respective divisions. Of course, they can reach this point in the S-tournament. In fact, no team is a weak team, but they are definitely still
There is a high-low order.
In the group competition of the quarter-finals, the teams in the first tier will face off against the teams in the second tier, and the four groups will also compete in pairs. Group A will face Group D, and Group B will face Group C.
That is to say, in this quarterfinals, ig will face off against g, which is second in group a, and fnc, which is second in group b.
Relatively speaking, this is definitely a good group. Neither fnc nor c9 is a strong opponent. Originally, lpl viewers made predictions before the s7 group stage started. In fact, the group situation after this
I was worried, because at that time, no one thought that edg would be like this. According to the original prediction, if edg advanced to the second place in the group stage, they would face ig, and the palms and backs of their hands were all flesh. No one wanted to have a civil war in the lpl.
See.
But now that the group stage is over, I no longer have such worries. IG will just blast c9 and be done with it.
On the day of the end of the group stage, after the dust had completely settled on edg and they were eliminated, Cheng Lu looked at the somewhat lonely edg players and felt it was a pity. However, in the future, these players will continue to compete in the lpl in another way.
, edg, who has been in the top eight every year, won the top 16 this year, but in the future edg will win their championship.
That night, the official staff held a farewell party, and the Yellow Crane Tower also turned on the lights. The gifts were not edg, but ig and rng, but edg also participated. It was also a celebration that the two LPL teams successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
, are about to head to the next stop, Guangzhou, where greater challenges are waiting for them.
Before leaving, Cheng Lu sat in the nanny's car and looked out the window at the unfamiliar streets at night. This was her first time in Wuhan. If she hadn't been so tight this time and had to be busy with training every day, she would have really wanted to be in Wuhan.
Take a walk and play on the Yellow Crane Tower River Beach.
In fact, Cheng Lu had the opportunity to travel at public expense before. The Douyu Carnival held at the Hankou River Beach at the end of May this year invited him in advance. At that time, she was still the anchor of Douyu. Douyu originally wanted to take advantage of the carnival.
Let Cheng Lu show her face on the spot and participate in on-site activities to interact with other anchors, such as the anchor water friends invitational competition. We can also take advantage of the carnival to pull Cheng Lu up and let Cheng Lu
She completely secured her position as the head anchor, but at that time she was about to join ig and switch jobs to Panda. Even though Douyu people found it very difficult to accept this result, and once tried to persuade Cheng Lu to come back, she still refused.
The live broadcast is the same wherever you go, it can’t be compared to playing professionally.
Recalling the past, the last time she received an invitation was to come to Wuhan as a host. She didn't go. In the blink of an eye, when she received another invitation and left Wuhan, she was already a professional player in the top eight of the S7 World Championship.
At this time, Ah Shui in the nanny's car was vividly telling Cheng Lu about some specialties from his hometown. He is from Hubei, but not from Wuhan, but this does not hinder it. After all, when talking about Hubei, Wuhan is usually what comes to mind.
It seems that there are quite a lot of professional players in Hubei, and they are all star players of the LPL, such as Factory Director and Uzi. They are among the three teams participating in the S competition this time. This has also attracted local attention. Everything arranged here is very important.
In place.
However, even if the players return to their hometowns, they don't have time to go home and visit. People like Ah Shui who train with the team can't leave. Maybe only the factory director has time.
Cheng Lu looked at the unfamiliar streets outside the car window, thinking that she didn't know what kind of identity she would have next time she came to W City.
······
During the short offseason, players from each team are preparing for the upcoming quarterfinals. Different from the previous group matches, the next games are all bo5 elimination systems, which are completely different concepts from bo1.
The next competition will be more intense.
The discussion on the Internet before the game is still going on. With IG and RNG at the forefront, there are fewer people complaining about EDG, and there are more voices supporting IG and RNG on the Internet.
The game will come soon.
October 19, Guangzhou Stadium.
The first day of the 8-to-4 match will be held between the two teams lz and ssg.
Among the teams in the LCK division, one is the No. 1 seed and the other is the No. 3 seed. Most people are more optimistic about the No. 1 seed lz. This is a team with strong individual strength. The average rank score is ranked among the major teams in LCK.
Ranked first among the teams. In the eyes of many LPL viewers, this team is a bit similar to IG. They both rely on the personal strength of the players, and the top laner Khan of the lz team is definitely the strongest in this S competition.
In addition, Khan also came from WE in the early days, so he was surprisingly matched up with Cheng Lu.
Therefore, these two teams from different competition areas are often brought together to discuss in online discussions. Even the current coach Jin of the lz team has openly expressed his appreciation for the ig team and hopes to win in this competition.
I can have a wonderful battle with ig.
Under this series of factors, coupled with the identity of LPL's biggest enemy, LPL viewers are very concerned about the lz team, because everyone basically believes that between the lz and ssg teams, lz has a better chance of advancement.
bigger.
However, when the game started, the expected situation was completely opposite. SSG easily defeated lz with a record of 3:0 to advance to the semi-finals. After watching these three games, many people were shocked. You are a third seed. Being the No. 1 seed in the same division is just like playing games. If you play like this earlier, you won't get the spot of the No. 3 seed.
After this game, the Internet brought up EDG, which had been treated coldly before. Originally EDG was already cold, and the audience's attention is now focused on the IQ of the two teams IQ and RNG, but it is difficult not to lose LZ. It reminds me of whether the No. 1 seed has reached a tacit understanding. The other four No. 1 seeds joined hands and fell in the top 16. Not to mention, lz was not happy, and they came together immediately. It even appeared on the Internet. There were a lot of emoticons. This time it was true that all the No. 1 seeds had become the winners. Whoever makes it to the semi-finals is the loser.
But apart from the ridicule, many people have begun to pay attention to the previous SSG team, which did not seem to be outstanding in its previous performance. The ability to keep lz clean definitely needs to be re-recognized. This may become a key factor in lpl's journey to win the championship. The biggest obstacle.
In the second day of the game on October 20, just like yesterday's game between lz and ssg, another unexpected situation occurred, which once shocked the audience and almost caused another upset.
The two teams competing on this day were skt and msf. Anyone who had asked before would have thought that this was a very disparate match. It was the kind of match where skt easily defeated msf 3:0 to advance.
But what everyone didn't expect was that MSF was hiding very deep. After losing to SKT in one game, it surprisingly won two games in succession, directly winning the match point, and only one game left to defeat SKT. Walk.
In these two games, msf's assist performance was very eye-catching and full of intelligence. In the current version where the incense burner monster soft assists are rampant, in the second game, he reversed the version and directly took out the robot assist and defeated skt, forcing skt to the third place. The first of the three, they banned the robot, and even banned several auxiliary players one after another to target msf's auxiliary players, but msf did have something, and under skt's attack, they chose another hand of war The enthusiastic Japanese girl smashed SKT and shocked the audience watching the game.
It’s not that you can’t play hard assist in this version. It’s just that because of the existence of the incense burner, the income from soft assist is far less high. However, msf relied on this hard assist to win two games of SKT in succession, forcing it into a desperate situation. This is indeed It gave many people an amazing feeling.
But it is a pity that msf failed to make it to the end after being seen clearly by skt. After playing bo5, it still lost to skt. This made many lpl viewers feel regretful. If msf defeated skt, then the pattern after that would be completely It will be different, there will be big changes, but even if msf loses to skt, I have to say that this is definitely a wonderful bo5.
At the end of the two days of competition, although there were some twists and turns, the number one seed who upset lck was eliminated on the first day, and almost made the same mistake on the second day. The second seed skt had to fight hard before successfully defeating msf and advancing, but The overall pattern remains unchanged. The first to advance to the semi-finals are still the two LCK teams. These are indeed the biggest opponents on the road to the LPL championship.
But it was lpl's turn to perform in the next game.
The third day of the game started between the two teams rng and fnc.
This season, rme can actually play offensive top lane. He is very proficient in Qinggangying, and he plays training games with ig all day long and is intensively educated by Cheng Lu. His level must have improved to a certain extent, but maybe it is because of the relationship with the team.
It cannot achieve a good chemical reaction, so it is better to use the pressure-resistant top lane heroes such as Big Tree, Shen, and Big Insect to be more fault-tolerant and more effective.
This is also the style of play that rng is good at. Standing on the stage of the top eight of the world championship, they have no head iron. They still follow the previous style of play, protecting the core of the bottom lane and leaving the decisive power to Uzi in the later stage.
.
The operation develops in the early and mid-term, and in the later stage, it is when Uzi exerts its strength.
Judging from the results of the game, RNG chose the style of play that it is good at and achieved very good results. FNC's bottom laner Ou Cheng is in poor condition this season. The mid laner Caps is also difficult to support alone. It is difficult for the double C to stand out in the late stage. The front
They can still fight rng back and forth, but fnc shows its decline after 30 minutes. Even if the two sides have basically the same economy, rng can still have an advantage in the late team battle, and the game can be ended in about 40 minutes
win.
However, after fng started the game, it also showed its strong resilience as a veteran giant in the life and death game of the third game. Under the disadvantage of economic backwardness, it once stubbornly resisted rng's ferocious attack and won the game.
After 50 minutes, in fact, if both sides choose to delay the late stage steadily, the chances of the late stage are the same, and the outcome can often be decided in one wave. In this round, FNG was pulling crazy and it was difficult to determine the outcome.
In the end, after a wave of rng's base, the Crystal Incisor Tower, was knocked down, the nature of the game changed. They couldn't decide the outcome head-on. They chose the tactic of stealing, and were able to successfully defeat rng in this life-and-death situation, and regain a level.
Bureau.
The failure of this hand exposed certain problems for rng. It gave too many opportunities in the mid-term, which should not be done, but it is not fatal, because there are still two hands for them to adjust, but in fact for
They said that one handful was enough. The audience at the scene did not panic after seeing fnc stealing the victory. fnc is indeed a resilient team, but from the analysis of the previous three games,
The only game fnc won was a victory that was very difficult and was achieved through stealing tactics. From this point, it can be seen that there is a gap in the hard power between the two sides.
After a short break to reflect, the fourth game resumed, and rng stood out. They used a more stable style of play to not give fnc any chance. After learning the lessons from the previous game, rng managed to win in one fell swoop in the later stages.
Went to fnc, won the fourth game, and advanced to the semi-finals with a 3-1 record.
Along with the commentator Miller's "Congratulations rng", the entire scene was filled with deafening cheers from the audience.
The victory of this game made the LPL take another step towards its championship. The desire for this championship made the cheers of the audience echo throughout the Guangzhou Stadium and could not dissipate for a long time.
rng did not disappoint the audience. It played its own style in this bo5 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. It was already in place waiting for the arrival of ig, and it was not only rng that was waiting for ig, but also all lpl audiences.
That night was destined to be a sleepless night for ig fans.
