In the second round of the group, tes was the first to be drawn out, but then gen was drawn out second. Also based on the avoidance principle within the group, gen was also assigned to the bottom half, leaving only their opponents
ig.
After seeing that their opponent was ig, the expressions on the faces of Samsung's players and coaching staff became very ugly. There is no doubt that ig is the opponent that Samsung least wants to encounter.
"Hahahaha, Samsung is going to launch IG, it's really interesting."
"The team that took the longest time in the group stage met the team that took the shortest time in the group stage. This draw is really interesting."
"Samsung was lucky enough to win the championship lottery (referring to ig) in no time."
"There is no shame in being eliminated by the champion (dog head)."
"Let me tell you, now I want to see the expression on Guan Zeyuan's face. Isn't this more interesting than the Samsung players?"
"Colonel: Actually, I'm fine."
"I really like what Guan Zeyuan said, Samsung is good at creating miracles, hehe."
"Congratulations to Samsung for getting what they wanted. They can finally create miracles."
The moment Samsung drew IG, the barrage in the live broadcast room began to make fun of Senior Colonel Guan. Originally, this quarterfinal match was not very interesting, that is, there was a huge difference in duration.
But after all the audience saw that Guan Zeyuan was scheduled for the game day, the lpl audience immediately became excited. The ig game was not to be missed, and now it was Guan who personally explained the game in which Samsung was about to be eliminated.
Can't miss this scene.
The lottery ceremony is still in progress, and the second place in the last two groups has also been drawn. In the end, dwg's opponent is g2, while sn's opponent is drx.
The three lck teams that were shortlisted for the quarter-finals did not encounter civil war. Perhaps this has a lot to do with the fact that two of them were second in the group.
However, the LPL audience is quite satisfied with this draw. At least the draw results of the four LPL teams are not too bad.
The only pity is that there will be a civil war in the quarter-finals, and they are still the old enemies of the summer split, jdg and tes. The lpl audience actually doesn't like to see civil war.
But it is impossible for the four teams not to meet together. What the four teams need to do now is to adjust their state as much as possible, because the cruel knockout rounds are about to begin.
After two days of short rest, the quarter-finals of the World Championship began. The first half was the first half of the game, with dwg facing off against g2.
"God's Coming"
In the first game of bo5, dwg showed their strength. After being banned from the two wild core heroes, Nanqiang and Baolan, they actually also took out the troops that they rarely play, and directly played an explosive game in the early stage.
Rhythm.
Cooperating with Niu Guli on the top lane, he directly penetrated the top lane. The top laner of dwg was obviously a late-stage hero captain who needed to develop, but he gained a huge advantage in the early stage and beat Wunder's crocodile to 1-5.
In the end, relying on the early rhythm, dwg established a huge advantage in the mid-term, and then through continuous winning team battles, they finally won the first victory and won the first bo5 victory.
However, as a powerful force in recent years, g2 is not without its ability to keep the bottom of the box. In the second game, g2 came back. G2 deliberately released the male gun, and then used Qinggang Shadow to reverse Conte Niuguli's Sword Princess.
.
Under the constant roaming of the mid laner of the caps card, dwg, who performed very well in the last game, encountered a waterloo in the upper jungle and was beaten very miserably.
Sword Lady was even beaten to 0-7, which was completely different from her performance in the first game, but DWG adjusted very quickly.
In the next two games, dwg increased its support for the mid lane, allowing the mid laner showmaker to suppress caps on the lane. When cap king had no way to support the game, g2's early rhythm collapsed.
dwg finally won two games in a row, and then won the Bo5 with a total score of 3 to 1, becoming the first team to reach the semi-finals.
The performance of this bo5 was highly praised by the audience and the commentators, especially dwg's tactical insight and timely tactical adjustment ability, which were praised even more.
Although jdg also double-killed g2 in the group stage, dwg appeared to be more relaxed on the scene. From the game scene, it is obvious that dwg is much stronger than jdg.
The second game of the quarterfinals was between sn and drx. Compared to the clean and tidy game of dwg in the first game, this game seemed much more anxious.
In the first game of bo5, sn's performance in the jungle was amazing. Abin and sofm seized the initiative from the beginning, and then relied on their uninterrupted attack on the top lane to successfully open up a hole in drx's top lane.
Go to the next city first.
Just when everyone thought that SM might have a crushing record, drx adjusted its tactics in time and began to choose stable tank heroes for the top lane, and then launched an attack on sn from the middle.
Relying on chovy's strong personal ability, he gradually took the initiative in the game. On the contrary, angel, who had no jungle help, was suppressed by chovy and became invisible throughout the game. In the end, drx regained the victory.
In the third battle of Tianwang Mountain, drx once again took advantage of the middle lane and the rhythm of operations to constantly drag sn down to death, successfully turning the situation unfavorable to them and taking the lead with a score of two to one.
On the contrary, just when many viewers thought that SN was about to be pushed flat, SN, who was in desperate situation, once again burst out with surprising power. Top laner Bin seemed to have awakened.
One game of Green Steel Shadow and one game of Sword Girl successfully helped sn to stay alive. In two consecutive games, he opened a breakthrough in drx's top lane. He carried the team forward alone and successfully advanced to the semi-finals with sn.
This five-game bo5 made many LPL viewers feel excited. They did not forget that SN is the fourth seed of LPL.
However, as the fourth seed, sn is getting better and better in the world championship. It has not embarrassed lpl at all. It even made it all the way to the semi-finals and is about to play the semi-finals with dwg.
"Awesome, sn, the card of the fourth seed."
"The fourth seed blasted the second seed. Some people say that the LPL is not the first division."
"It's so funny. I heard that drx is so strong that even ig can't look down on it? Now you know how powerful lpl is, right?"
"sn:lpl There are many people as strong as me."
"sn: I'm afraid you don't know, but I was hit by a blaster in lpl,"
Regardless of the fact that Sn was praised by the LPL audience in this Bo5, and Bin, who performed very well in the Bo5, not to mention his outstanding performance, naturally became famous overnight.
"Abin was really strong today. I surpassed him and passed the level directly on the road."
"I can only say one word, bin!"
"Tonight belongs to Bin! Let everyone remember this young genius who is on the road."
"Abin's Sword Girl is really so powerful, I can only say that she is invincible."
"I can't wait to see the next round of the match between Abin and Niuguli. The winner can even play against theshy in the finals."
"Trivia: ig's quarterfinals haven't started yet, and they've already been sent to the finals."
"Indeed, the teams in the lower half are no threat to ig at all. Samsung, jdg and tes, who can stop ig?"
After playing in the first half, the audience actually didn't have much expectations for the games in the second half. For example, the first game of the second half between JDG and TES was just like the previous LPL semi-finals, which made people a little uninterested.
But the reality is contrary to what many people imagined. In the semi-finals of the lpl, jdg finally lost to tes. However, after the experience of the world championship, jdg was obviously in much better shape than tes.
Especially after qualifying with six consecutive wins, JDG gained a lot of confidence and their morale was extremely high. But TES is different. This world championship is not very friendly to TES.
They were not very happy when they lost the World Championship, but they had to face DWG in the group stage. The entire group stage process was purely based on their mentality.
After the group stage, TES players were generally very tired, even more tired than after playing several bo5 games. They rested for several days and still failed to challenge.
In the end, in the quarterfinals against JDG, TES's performance was not even as good as in the semifinals of the LPL Summer Split. Facing an extremely stable JDG, TES was at a loss.
They lost the first game in a panic. Facing JDG who became sharper in the World Championship and more determined to play in the middle and jungle, TES was not prepared at all.
Kanavi was swimming unscrupulously in the jungle, but Casa was helpless in the face of this situation. Relying on the huge advantage in the early stage, jdg quickly won the game.
The process of the second game was exactly the same as the first game. After JDG's test in the first game, he directly grabbed tes' life gate and killed his left hand in the middle. tes completely lost his voice.
When the game reached 2-0, everything seemed to be doomed. The panicked tes was unable to pin down the players.
As Carey's position in the team, Casa and Lefty are all players with relatively soft personalities. In this desperate situation, they simply don't have the courage to lead the team to victory.
In the end, TES became the first team to be defeated 3-0 in the World Championship, and was successfully sent away by JDG, who was defeated in the summer competition. For TES, the first team to be eliminated, the LPL audience felt sad for their misfortune and angry for their indifference.
Many people thought that this LPL civil war would be as exciting as the previous semi-finals, but they did not expect that it would be a one-sided crushing by JDG.
As if the one who lost to TES in the previous semi-finals was not the jdg in front of me, I have to say that on the road of professional players, players with a better mentality will often go further.
After jdg became the third team to enter the semi-finals, only ig and Samsung were left in the quarter-finals. The game has not yet started. The players of ig have been waiting for a long time.
Fortunately, I can watch the games of other teams to relieve my boredom. IG players are still very optimistic about the upcoming schedule.
Judging from the previous knockout games, the overall intensity did not exceed ig's perception. Even Yun Ge could feel that dwg and jdg did not even show their full ability.
g2 and tes did not bring out the full strength of dwg and jdg. These two teams still have reservations. Yun Ge also understands this. After all, if they can win the game with ordinary methods, the coaching staff will definitely not use the bottom line.
Skill.
The same goes for ig. Some tactical systems will not be revealed at all unless they encounter a strong opponent. ig also has a lot of things that are at the bottom of the box, but Yunge has been hiding them for a long time.
Even Yun Ge knew in his heart that these were probably not used when playing against Samsung in the quarter-finals, but if the opportunity was right, Yun Ge would definitely not hide it.
The last quarter-finals game attracted the attention of the LPL audience. In addition to being a game between IG, the favorite to win the championship, Guan Zeyuan also became another protagonist of this game.
Originally, Guan Zeyuan didn't want to commentate on this game. He had already planned to switch shifts with someone else. However, for the sake of program effectiveness, the director of lpl forced Guan Zeyuan to the commentary desk.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the last game of the quarterfinals, the game between ig and gen. I am the commentator."
"I am Guan Zeyuan."
Guan Zeyuan spoke expressionlessly, and it was obvious at a glance that he was not very happy, even though the game had not started yet.
"Hey, Brother Guan, which team do you like more in this game?"
I remember asking questions knowingly and looking at Guan Zeyuan with a smile on his face, as if he was watching Guan Zeyuan's joke,
Guan Zeyuan rolled his eyes when he heard this, and then helplessly answered the questions he remembered.
"I think ig will win today's game..."
Guan Zeyuan's tone seemed weak, and there was no confidence in his tone at all, but more of frustration.
"Hey, what a coincidence, I am also optimistic about IG, but no one is optimistic about Samsung."
I remember that I started to blatantly tease Guan Zeyuan. There were not many opportunities. I remember that I didn’t want to let Guan Zeyuan go easily.
Guan Zeyuan: "..."
Seeing that Guan Zeyuan was silent, I remember talking to myself again, "I feel that at this time when there is such a huge disparity in power, even if some people support Samsung from the bottom of their hearts, they will definitely not dare to say it directly."
"Brother Guan, do you think this is right?"
"right!
!" I remember Guan Zeyuan's gritted teeth response.
But I remember that he still had a nonchalant expression on his face. Everything was done for the sake of the show's effect. Making fun of Guan Zeyuan was the biggest highlight of today's game.
But the happy time is always short-lived. Players from the two teams on the field prepared quickly and soon entered the BP stage, which can be regarded as helping Guan Zeyuan out of trouble.
Since ig ranked first in the group, they automatically got the priority to choose the side. Of course, Yunge decisively chose the blue side, and gave the first three ban positions to Olaf, Bear and Troll.
Yunge's ban position did not change in any way because of the change of opponents. On the contrary, Samsung's coaching staff did a very good job. In the first round, they chose to send Xiao Leyan's three wild cores, male gunner, leopard girl and centaur.
Got into the ban position.
Yun Ge was not surprised by this, because basically they are not weak teams that can enter the quarterfinals. During the rest of the past few days, Samsung's coaching staff must have studied a lot of IG's games.
Of course, the most valuable one is definitely the match between TES and JDG against IG. In fact, the matches between the other three LPL teams against IG have always been popular videos for other World Championship teams to study IG.
In particular, the way JDG Redmi coach played against IG is regarded as a classic by many coaches. Although IG's last game against JDG was just a regular season game a long time ago, this game was still repeated by Samsung's coaching staff.
