Chapter 491 Brother Tao Bo [asking for a monthly ticket]
"It's so strong, I'll give it to you lpl!"
"It seems that the next door is not doing well this year. Except for dwg, there is no one who can play."
"This year is the weakest year for lck! lpl has great hope."
"lpl?ig, okay, now ig looks like a champion."
"I think with ig's current state, it won't be a big problem to beat dwg."
As the LPL teams are very competitive, the online LPL audience is very confident. Not only do they look forward to the championship, they even look down on the strength of the LCK team next door.
Amid the optimism of the LPL audience, the World Championship began the second round-robin round of the group stage. Group A started first, and the games between G2 and TL started first.
TL, who had no time to adjust at all, was pushed to the ground by G2 and violently beaten. G2's mid laner Caps was in very good condition, and TL's mid laner Jensen was pushed to the ground again and blasted.
This is already the second time that Caps has suppressed Jian Huang. Since the qualifying round, Jian Huang's state has been hard to describe. It seems that he cannot adapt to the intensity of the main game of the World Championship. He has lost four consecutive games in the group stage.
On the contrary, JDG, the third seed of LPL, played very strongly and still performed very stable in the second round, easily defeating MCX.
mcx, who had just been defeated, didn't even have time to adjust, so they played back-to-back against g2, and then were easily defeated by g2, who was in a state of firepower.
JDG was not to be outdone. Facing the sluggish TL, JDG was unstoppable under the leadership of the Redmi coach and won consecutive victories, winning five consecutive games in the group stage.
He was obviously the third seed, but he played as strong as the first seed. On the contrary, g2, the first seed in Europe, was suppressed by jdg and couldn't hold his head up.
However, g2 is not without a chance, because in the next finale of Group A, they will face jdg again. As long as g2 can win this game, they can win the qualification for the play-offs, strive for the first place in the group again, and defend themselves
The dignity of the No. 1 seed.
But before that, we have to watch a battle of dignity between TL and mcx. Since mcx defeated tl before and already won the first victory in the group stage, the psychological pressure is not that great.
However, as the third seed in North America, TL has lost all five games and has lost all dignity of playing in the four major regions. The group stage has not yet been completed, but TL, which has already been determined to be eliminated in advance, has been regarded as a shame for North America by North American netizens.
.
Obviously, Jian Huang was the light of North America when he was in c9, but he was upgraded to the shame of North America in just one year. Maybe this is the charm of e-sports.
In the end, TL defended its dignity, and after a hard battle, finally won the peak battle with MCX, bringing a successful conclusion to its S10 world schedule.
Next comes the peak showdown of Group A, the showdown between jdg and g2. After a period of adjustment, g2 has slowly recovered from its discomfort on the first day.
In this key battle of Group A, jdg still played steadily in the face of g2 who was already gaining momentum. In the early stage, g2 had a considerable advantage, but jdg finally stabilized.
In the mid-term, we used steady operations and tacit cooperation to win two consecutive team battles, successfully overturned g2, and achieved six consecutive victories in the group stage.
"Look, this is the strength of the LPL. Even the third seed can kill in the group stage."
"I originally watched the LPL playoffs and thought that this year's players were very weak. I didn't expect that the third seed could also kill in the group stage."
"Is there a possibility that ig is too strong, so it seems that other teams are weak, but in fact they are not weak at all."
"Indeed, although JDG lost to TES in the semi-finals, they are actually very strong."
"Fuck, that makes sense, but JDG is so strong, how strong should IG be, which has been dominating LPL before?"
"So terrifying! Invincible ig!"
Although jdg won six consecutive victories and ranked first in the group, the barrage in the live broadcast room slowly began to discuss ig. This may be jdg's fate.
This team is too low-key. Just like their stable style, each player does not seem to be very outstanding. Compared with the star-studded ig, jdg seems very simple and unpretentious.
Even JDG's most prominent player, Kanavi, has no topic compared to IG's Xiao Leyan. Therefore, after JDG won six consecutive victories, the topic will of course slowly come to IG.
Of course, based on personal ability alone, Kanavi is still much better than Xiao Leyan, but in the game of League of Legends, one person's strength does not have much effect.
After the Group A match, the LPL audience was generally very optimistic and elated, as if I was the best in the world.
And in the second round of Group B, it was once again proved that the situation of Group B is very similar to that of Group A. dwg and TES basically occupy the qualifying spots, it is just a matter of whether to qualify first or second.
In the first game of the day, dwg easily defeated psg, had a good start, and won four consecutive games, demonstrating the strength of the lck's No. 1 seed. This was also the last dignity of the lck audience.
Because so far, dwg is the team with the most championship potential besides ig. It is even stronger than jdg, which has won six consecutive victories. After all, they have defeated tes, who won jdg before.
And tes, who was the second player to appear, showed no mercy and quickly defeated his opponent rge, consolidating his second position and ready to challenge dwg's first place at any time.
tes is slowly accumulating strength, preparing to avenge its shame and regain its own dignity in the final head-to-head showdown with dwg.
And dwg is still very stable. In rge's back-to-back games, he defeated his opponent faster than tes and continued to put pressure on tes on a psychological level.
The players and coaching staff of TES did feel the suffocating pressure of dwg, and there was a faint fear of facing ig, but tes' next opponent was psg, which helped tes warm up the game.
In the battle of dignity in Group B, after psg and rge finished playing, the tes players drank the chicken soup that White Crescent had temporarily poured out, and started the game with dwg with a look of death.
At the beginning, TES played really vigorously, especially the cooperation between the top, middle and jungle, which suppressed dwg for a while. Moreover, TES's bottom duo of Puff and Nanfeng also showed extraordinary tacit understanding and successfully suppressed dwg.
Got dwg’s bottom lane duo.
In the mid-term team battle, 369 and Left Hand performed very well, especially with the help of Senna and Tahm, they completely suppressed dwg's mid-to-upper players in the team battle.
dwg was stunned by this sudden change of tes, because tes completely regarded dwg as ig to play, using his familiar early rhythm, paired with the auxiliary Senatam combination in the bottom lane.
The personal strength of dwg's online players, especially the mid and upper lanes, is actually not inferior to that of ig, but tes still seized the opportunity because tes discovered that dwg is not without its weaknesses.
At first glance, dwg's tactical style is very similar to that of ig. They rely on the players' online personal abilities to gain advantages, and then use the advantages to quickly end the game.
However, TES players found that there was still a big gap between dwg and ig, especially in team battles. Facing tes' strong attack, dwg did not show the same tacit cooperation as ig.
Niuguli was caught many times by Kasa and Left Hand in this game, and he was a little over the top. He was blocked twice before the team battle, and the situation was completely handed over to tes.
Seeing that they had gained such a huge advantage in the mid-term, the TES players did not choose to settle down. Instead, under the protection of Tamu and Cena, they continued to push forward, chasing dwg as if they were beating a drowned dog.
In the end, when many people were not optimistic about it, tes actually avenged its shame and successfully defeated dwg, avenging its previous defeat.
"Awesome, tes, can this be turned around?"
"Hey, dear, it's a bit fierce. It overturned the dwg. Does tes want to go to the sky?"
"This is dwg who claims to compete with ig for the championship. It's not very strong. It can't even beat tes."
"Indeed, it's a little early to compete with ig for the championship. Let's go through tes and jdg first."
"Tes rushes and extinguishes lck's last hope!"
Since the records of tes and dwg were mutually exclusive, a round of extra rounds was necessary to determine the first and second place in the group.
Since there are no quotas involved in this game, there is no risk of elimination for both teams. Therefore, neither team has any burden on their minds and can instead play an unrestrained game.
Since they just defeated DWG, the LPL audience is very optimistic that TES can defeat DWG and rank first in the group like JDG.
But Brother Topo likes to joke with the audience. When everyone had hopes for them, Brother Topo once again disappointed people.
In the extra round, tes lost to dwg. The early rhythm that they were proud of in the last game was completely destroyed by dwg. Canyon used wild core's perfect rhythm to teach tes, who was not good at wild core, a lesson. Tell me
What is their real version of the answer.
This extra match that the LPL audience was looking forward to ended up with a result that no one expected. It was obvious that TES was still crushing the winner in the last game, but was completely crushed by dwg in this game.
Moreover, it was a crushing attack on three lines, and even the jungle area exploded. In twenty-five minutes, DWG even pushed TES's base crystal.
The enthusiasm played by tes before was like a joke played by Brother Taobo. It was short-lived and absurd, which made people completely stunned.
Although TES finally appeared as the expected second place in the group, because Brother Taobo gave the lpl audience undue hope, after the disappointment, the live broadcast room was full of abuse.
"I knew I shouldn't trust tes. What did they play in the last game?"
"It's too bad. It's like a substitution. If you want to lose, lose early. Why do you have to play one more game?"
"It still depends on IG. Even if TES qualified, they still don't have any championship prospects. This kind of team won't go far."
"People have said that reaching the semi-finals is considered a success, but the meaning is not clear yet. I have no intention of winning the championship."
"Indeed, the most valuable thing about tes is that they have self-awareness, so don't put too much hope in them. The championship depends on ig."
The viewers who started complaining in the live broadcast room may not know that the person who lost in this extra match was not the audience watching the game in the live broadcast room, but the TES players who fought hard in the two games.
After losing the last extra round, the momentum that the TES players had managed to gather dissipated again, and the atmosphere of the entire team became extremely dull again.
Even Xiao Zhuge Bai Yueya has no way to deal with this, because the problem of TES's lack of morale cannot be solved in a short time.
And the best way to deal with low morale is to win the game. Fortunately, the group stage has been completed and tes has a few days to adjust. As long as tes can find a suitable opponent, tes still has a chance to adjust.
But many people know that TES, which appears second in the group, will not be assigned a good opponent. With the appearance of Group C still unclear, TES's current opponent is most likely to be ig or jdg.
Basically, TES, which is second in the group, has already decided on a civil war. It’s just a question of who the opponent is. If TES players and coaching staff were given a choice, they would definitely prefer to meet jdg.
After all, there is still hope of winning the game against jdg. If the opponent is ig, tes can already prepare to go to bed. tes players have no confidence to fight ig now.
TES, which has not won against ig all year, has already formed a nightmare in their hearts. When they face ig again, they have no confidence at all.
Therefore, in the next match of Group C, the TES coaching staff is very concerned because they also want to know who their next opponent will be.
If possible, TES does not want to fight a civil war. Judging from the state of JDG World Championship, this is definitely not the JDG team in the semi-finals of the LPL Summer Split.
Not only TES, but viewers all over the world who follow the game are looking forward to the Group C match, because compared to other group matches where there is no suspense, Group C is a group of death, and the qualifying situation is still not very clear.
Sn now has a record of two wins and one loss. Through the relationship between wins and losses, it is ranked above fnc, which also has two wins and one loss. Next is gen, which has one win and two losses.
Even tsm, which has lost all three games, still has the theoretical possibility of qualifying in Group C. As long as they can win three consecutive games, they can get a place in the group stage through the play-offs.
But everyone understands the theoretical possibility of qualifying.
Even the most optimistic fans in North America have basically lost confidence in tsm. With them in a sluggish state compared to TL, it is simply impossible to win three consecutive games.
Therefore, tsm has been eliminated by audiences around the world by default. Their only meaning now is to be a water ghost, and then take the opportunity to drag a team into the water.
Even if sn is currently in a very good qualifying situation, as long as it loses a game to tsm, it will become extremely passive in the next situation.
As for gen, which is currently in the midst of one win and two losses, as long as it can win three consecutive games, it will be able to secure a qualifying spot. With Samsung's slow-paced style, the probability of three consecutive wins is not impossible.
So under the expectant eyes of all the spectators around the world, the Group C match started. As a result, Group C gave everyone a big job as soon as it started.
Because fnc was in a very good situation, they turned around in the first game against tsm. They lost directly to tsm, making their subsequent qualifying situation very passive.
If they lose to TSM in the second round, it means that if FNC wants to appear, they have to defeat SN and gen head-on, and then wait to see if there are play-offs. This difficulty is simply too high.
