In the last match against ahq, Yunge and the players were very relaxed. Even when standing on the stage to bp, Yunge didn't feel any pressure.
"In order to prepare you better for the upcoming playoffs, I decided to temporarily increase the difficulty for you."
Yun Singing held Rookie's shoulders, and then made a joke with the player. Ah Shui, who was sitting next to him, immediately turned to coach Yun Ge when he heard this.
"No, coach Yunge, it's the last game. Please get off work after the game. Please, don't do it."
"No, the group stage is not the end. The next playoffs are the real test. I don't want you to fail in the playoffs."
Yun Ge shook his head decisively. Hearing his words, all the ig players felt sympathy. They were all frightened by coach Yun Ge, fearing that he would choose a weird hero for them if they disagreed.
But when the final lineup of ig was selected, not only the players of ig, but also the commentators and the audience were speechless.

Top order:Annie
Jungler: Pig Girl
Mid laner: Carter

Support: Tahm

Blue side, ahq team:

[Checking lineup bonds]
[Lucky Star (5): Annie, Piggy, Carter, Jinx, Tam]
[Bond effect: After winning a game with the Lucky Star lineup, there is an 80% chance of obtaining a piece of equipment]
[ig.jackylove is equipped with the Holy Sword, Holy Light Job Transfer, and Guinsoo's Furious Blade]
[Equipment effect: This hero changes his job to the God of Heaven and the Guardian of the Holy Light, which increases the operational ability by 5%, increases the laning ability by 10%, and increases the reaction speed by 5%. During team battles, every time he attacks the enemy hero, 1% reaction is superimposed.
Speed, no upper limit, after leaving the team, the effect will be reset]
Seeing the effect of the [Lucky Star] lineup, Yunge was a little surprised. This bond was actually a pure development lineup, which could only explode equipment and provide no bonus effect at all.
Moreover, the five [lucky stars] are not 100% able to obtain equipment, with an 80% probability. If he is not a chieftain, he may not even have the equipment for several games. Fortunately, Yun Ge feels that he is not a chieftain.
If you face some bad teams in the regular season, it’s not impossible to take out the [Lucky Star] lineup and take advantage of it. As the saying goes, you can’t kill a chicken with a butcher’s knife. There is no need for ig to defeat some teams. If you can rely on [
The lineup of Lucky Star couldn’t be better.
Thinking of this, Yun Ge already understood how IG would play in the regular season of LPL. When playing against weak teams before, not only the IG players were not interested, but Yun Ge also felt that it was not very interesting, but now it is no longer interesting.
Same.
Now that he can blast equipment from them, Yunge's spirit is instantly lifted, "Zinima, I'll blast it!"
"No, what kind of lineup is ig, top laner Annie? I don't think I've seen theshy use it. Is this their hidden ultimate move?"
While the players were loading into the game, Wang Duoduo and Tong Xi began to discuss ig's lineup, but his expression was very puzzled, and he had no idea what coach Yun Ge was doing.
"I think there is absolutely no need to use a lot of tricks when playing ahq. Moreover, this game is not critical at all. There is no need for ig to expose its territory at this time. This lineup is probably just a temporary choice by coach Yunge."
Tong Xi's expression was a little hesitant. After thinking over and over again, she could only come up with one reason. It was possible that coach Yun Ge was sick when ig came up with this lineup. But in the commentary box, she couldn't say that, but the meaning was very important.
clear.
"No, can you use amplified moves to hit ahq? Isn't this an anti-aircraft gun to hit mosquitoes?"
"Ahq: No! No! How can I be so virtuous and capable as to be targeted like this by IG?"
"Is there a possibility that coach Yunge deliberately chose such a weird lineup because he wanted to confuse his opponents in the knockout rounds?"
"It's possible, and it's very likely. Coach Yun Ge is too treacherous and bad. I like him very much."
"Hey, don't ask. Asking is to hide the ultimate move. When you hit ahq, bring it out to show respect for them. Theshy's Annie is very strong and she will be banned in the knockout round!"
"Indeed, I can testify that theshy's Annie will definitely kill, and all IG's opponents will definitely need to take good aim!"
After a brief discussion on the barrage, everyone agreed that this was the ultimate move released by ig. Non-staff personnel from the War Ignorance Bureau began to dispatch and leaked all the secret tactics of ig.
Theshy also has a hidden ice top laner, Rookie's little mage explodes with kills, it's so vivid and vivid, each one is more outrageous than the last.
This game of ig also proves this point. Although theshy has only played Annie a few times in the Super Smash Bros., his basic skills are still there, and there is no problem at all with last-hitting in the lane.
As the mage hero with the longest range in the League of Legends, Annie is very comfortable bullying the captain on the top lane, especially since theshy is a barrel monster. The captain never used a powder barrel to blast theshy in the entire game, which is very outrageous.
Annie took advantage of her long hands to suppress the captain's growth very easily, and even cooperated with King Ning to jump over the tower and kill the captain at level six.
After reaching level 6, Xu Xiu suppressed Rookie in the last game, and finally had room to vent in this game. In this game, Carter directly chose to lead Ignite, thinking about beating Victor online.
The rookie did indeed do it. He single-killed Victor three times at level 6, level 8 and level 11. As a result, Carter was too fat in the mid-term. As soon as the team battle dagger turned, ahq's lineup became fragmented.
Ah Shui's bottom lane had an advantage together, but there was no room for him to play in this game. After entering the team battle, the two big group control of theshy and King Ning, combined with Rookie's entry, instantly destroyed ahq's lineup.
Empty.
I saw Carter in the crowd constantly turning, and everyone in ahq was covered in blood. Carter was able to get at least three kills in every team fight.
Rookie's Carter's damage was too high, so Ah Shui, who was originally responsible for harvesting, could only place a rocket in the distance to add to the fun.
When it comes to killing skills, it's better to be Noxian. The heroes of Zaun are all younger brothers.
In 18 minutes, Rookie, who had already got 11 kills, completed a super achievement early. After getting four kills, ig took advantage of the situation and pushed away ahq's base, ending their s9 group stage schedule.
"Let's congratulate ig for finishing first in the group with six consecutive wins. Let's look forward to their performance in the knockout rounds. I'm already looking forward to it."
Wang Duoduo looked very happy when he saw ig advance with a 6-0 record. After all, this is not only the glory of ig, but also the honor of all lpl staff.
"IG's current six-game winning streak is unique among all teams. The defending champion is still very strong this year. Maybe it can really create a miracle?"
Tongxi is also looking forward to ig's performance in the knockout rounds, but as the commentator for the final game of Group D, Wang Duoduo and Tongxi not only have to work overtime to commentate on the game between dwg and tl, but also the final draw ceremony. What an unlucky guy.
In the extra round between dwg and tl, dwg had the last laugh. After thirty-eight minutes of fierce fighting, relying on Xu Xiuqiyana's wonderful ultimate move, dwg took down the baron, then flattened tl's base and sent away
They went back to their hometown.
Seeing TL's final fate, the ig players were quite happy. This time in the group stage, they were able to avenge msi's defeat with one stone. The ig players were already satisfied with this.
Staying in the backstage of the lounge, everyone in ig watched the entire draw ceremony before leaving the field, because the draw for the knockout rounds is a very critical matter. Although with ig's strength, there is no need to worry about meeting any opponents, but if they can meet a
With a relaxed opponent, ig will definitely be happier.
The current top leaders of the four groups are grf from group a, fpx from group b, skt from group c and skt from group d. In the quarterfinals, the top players in the group will not encounter each other, so ig's opponents
Only three groups except dwg came second.
As long as the division is not bad, no matter who is drawn, it will be a good draw. The worst result for ig is to be divided into the same half zone as skt, and then encounter skt in the semi-finals.
As for grf and fpx, there is not much difference for ig. In fact, skt's name is just a bluff. Normally, the first place in the three groups is really the same for ig.
With much anticipation, the draw for the s9 knockout round began. The first one to be drawn was fpx. Little Phoenix was drawn to the top half. The second goal was very crucial. After seeing the red team logo in the hands of the guests, Wang Duoduo
I was excited all of a sudden.
"Okay! Beautiful, sign up! The two LPL teams have been divided into two divisions. At least before the finals, there will be no civil war in the LPL."
No LPL fans want to see a civil war between LPL teams. After all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, especially the thrilling knockout rounds. Forget it if there is a civil war in the finals, just give it a try and whoever wins the championship will be very happy for the LPL audience.
But if it is a knockout civil war, it will be very uncomfortable. Many teams that win the civil war are inexplicably owed a lot of championships, which is quite strange.
Then ig was drawn third and grf was drawn fourth. Their two teams were flown to the lower half. Then the fpx players and coaching staff who were watching the draw ceremony in the hotel were very nervous.
Due to the principle of avoidance in the same group, fpx's opponents can only choose between dwg and g2. Judging from the strength of the team, fpx definitely hopes to draw g2. I don't know why, even though g2 has a good record and even got s9msi's
Champion, everyone still thinks g2 is a soft persimmon.
Perhaps only the underestimated European and American teams are the strongest. When the lpl and lck teams really get serious, their strength is really not good enough.
The War Horse coach and the fpx players stared closely at the lottery guest's hands. When he drew g2, the players and coaches of the fpx team all laughed. They felt that they had drawn a good lottery.
At this time, the G2 players and coaches who were watching the lottery ceremony in another hotel also laughed. This was also a good draw for them.
According to the avoidance principle of the same group in the quarter-finals, g2's opponents can only choose one among fpx, skt and ig. If there is a choice, if g2 is given a hundred chances, they will also choose the fpx team.
The two teams, both of whom thought their opponents were weak, came together. Perhaps this was fate. On the other side, the lck audience looked very ugly.
Even though dwg hasn't been drawn yet, their opponent is already destined to be skt, and lck is already destined to have a civil war, and the faces of dwg's players are also very ugly, because they really can't beat skt.
If you change your opponents to grf and fpx, they can both give it a try, but if you switch to skt, the dwg players are really filled with despair. They have never beaten skt in lck before, and they want to break through in the world championship.
It's even more difficult.
In fact, the mentality of skt players and coaching staff is similar to that of ig. The second place in all groups is not much different to them. As the only triple crown champion, skt has a big devil in the middle, they are very confident.
The second team to be drawn out was fnc. Due to the avoidance principle of the same group, they were postponed to ig. After seeing their opponents, neither ig nor fnc's opponents showed any joy or anger.
Because for fnc, they have no choice. The gap between ig and grf is not much. Maybe grf is easier to play, but if they want to reach the finals, they must face ig if they stay in the bottom half.
At this time, FNC has not yet recovered from the defeat in S8. They used to be only one Bo5 gap from the championship, but now it is completely different. FNC, which was swept in the finals, even lost the mid laner.
This is definitely a fatal blow to fnc,
Their opponents have become stronger, but their own strength has become weaker. They have no chance of winning this game, so there is no expression on the faces of the FNC players.
Later, dwg and spy were drawn respectively, but the group format of the entire quarter-finals did not change at all. A large portion of the lpl audience was very excited after watching the entire draw ceremony.
"What a great draw! What a great draw! One for each of the upper and lower half of the LPL. In the civil war of the LCK, there is no better draw than this, right?"
"IG and fpx come together! Promise me to enter the finals together!"
"Compared to the quarter-finals, I want to see the semi-finals, the battle between fpx and skt, and the battle between ig and grf. Damn it, it's awesome."
"Haha, I just laughed. This game hasn't even started yet, but the finals have already begun. Can fpc and ig definitely beat g2 and fpx?"
"It's so funny, there are always people who think that foreign products are good, their own products are rubbish, and even the air abroad is sweet."
"Indeed, the moon abroad has not been round for a day or two. After all, some people just like the sky in the distance and don't care about the land under their feet."
After the top eight groups ended, apart from the habitual ridicule from a small portion of the audience, the majority of the LPL audience was still very optimistic and very supportive of their team, even if it sometimes really disappoints people.
Those who are mad when the wind is blowing and bear the wind against them are the fans who truly love the game, and those who win are the ones who yell the most fiercely.
On October 22nd, ig did not waste any time and went directly to Madrid, Spain. They had to complete two knockout rounds here before they could enter the finals. Four days later, the quarterfinals were held as scheduled.
