The fourth day is the last day of the first round of the s7 group stage. The first round of competition will end today.
The first game is ig vs. fw. In group d, fw and tsm are both old and strong teams, but compared to the two new teams we and msf, they are already going downhill. Their performance and deterrence are not as good as before.
, Under ig's offensive that did not give any chance to breathe, fw, the number one seed from the lms division, finally followed in the footsteps of tsm. ig won a game again, and easily defeated the number one seed in the lms division.
This can be regarded as resolving some of the public opinion in the two divisions on the Internet caused by edg's loss to ahq. The third seed of lpl can easily win the first seed of LMS. As a result, edg, as the first seed of lpl, can still lose to his own relatives.
Son ahq, saying that ig helped edg take revenge is not a big deal, but after this fight, it made edg look even better.
After that, tsm, like FW, was defeated by the new team msf as a long-established giant.
The match in Group D gave the audience the feeling of a replacement of old and new forces. TSM and FW, two old and powerful teams that are on the decline, have been replaced by ig and msf in their prime.
In other groups, there are not many upsets such as edg. The strong teams still show their dominance. Even if they play steadily, they can win the game.
After rng defeated g2 in the last game today, the first round of the group stage officially ended.
In the first round, the group stage schedule is already halfway through. After three games for each team, the top spot in the team has been determined. skt is the first in group a, lz is the first in group b, and lz is the first in group c.
rng, first ig in group d.
The first places in the four groups all have 3-0 records, and their dominance in the group is clearly visible. If nothing else happens, they will basically stabilize at this ranking by the end of the second round.
In other words, the promotion of these four teams should be stable. There are two promotion places in each group, and the remaining one promotion place depends on the competition after 234th place.
For lpl viewers, this result is quite exciting. The first lpl and lck in the four groups each account for two. This is basically the division of strength in the current game. From this point of view, we can
It can be seen that compared to other competition areas, the strength of the LPL and LCK competition areas is the most similar, and other competition areas are slightly worse. This year, the LPL does seem to be the most promising year.
But this hope is given by rng and ig now, so I have to put aside edg.
This may be the most disappointing year for edg. In the past, it could at least guarantee the top eight every year. Edg was indeed competitive in the top eight, but this year the top eight may be gone.
Although in theory, edg still has the possibility of qualifying, as long as they win the second round, they may advance, but edg can single-handedly win three consecutive defeats in the first round. This alone does not make the audience believe that they will
Winning three consecutive victories in the second round was convincing.
And the most important thing is, judging from the current situation of edg, if you want to advance, you must let other teams in Group A raise their hands in the second round. Simply put, it depends on the strongest SKT in Group A.
, After all, edg is now at the bottom of Group A at 0-3, and other teams are ranked higher than him. Even if edg wins 3-3, skt can still control the promotion if it deliberately leaves it to the other two teams.
The quota is gone, so EDG will be gone. This kind of decision-making of one's own destiny based on the other person's face will undoubtedly be very uncomfortable.
Not only the players are uncomfortable, but the LPL audience is also uncomfortable, but you can't blame others, you can only blame yourself. But if you can win, it's not that big of a deal. People like ig and rng don't have this kind of trouble.
The promotion of these two teams is basically stable, and they can still study the subsequent games. Only edg is currently busy preparing for the second round of the group stage.
In the few days before the start of the second round of the group stage, in addition to praise for ig and rng on the Internet, there were also various voices for edg. At present, no audience can tolerate edg's performance.
Angry, even the people in the lpl training group are worried about edg. In the past few days, they have been focusing on edg to try their best to make suggestions to deal with the second round of the game. Cheng Lu even received an invitation to coach mouse.
There is no way, there are people in the sparring group for the top lane position, but the best one has to be theshy, who is the godfather level figure of the top laner.
Cheng Lu naturally agreed, as she was all contributing to the lpl, and there was no competition these days and she had nothing to do. But to be honest, she didn't have much to teach. Mouse can't do damage, and EDG doesn't need mouse to do damage.
Just choose a big tree or a big insect to follow. Forcing the mouse to play will not bring any good results, but will have bad effects.
The output top laner has a great need for team battles. The ability to find opportunities, entry timing, team battle ideas, etc. are all very important. Cheng Lu cannot teach this. This really depends on talent and requires a keen sense of team battles.
, it also depends on the individual's sense of team play. If mouse wants to understand these things, it is better to choose a gangster top laner. When playing in a team, it is easier and more trouble-free to stand in front to resist damage.
There must be a reason why edg didn't play Superstition Lucian well in the past few days. The laning strength is there, but edg can't play a greater role. In the later stage, due to lack of damage, the lineup needs to be adjusted to allow mouse to assume the position of an output point.
It's definitely irrational to force him to play even though he can't play.
ig can play like this, but edg can play like this, which is a bit forced.
Therefore, Cheng Lu could only suggest that edg should not touch Lucian, and mouse should not choose any output. It is better to stick to the big tree and have a greater chance of winning.
In fact, edg also has this idea on this point. They chose Lucian and lost all three. This must be a problem. Unless Cheng Lu joins edg now, otherwise they are not going to touch this hero. Until now,
In this situation, if they lose another round, they will not stop playing head-on. Next, they still want to play according to the style of play they are good at.
In the past few days of training before the game, Cheng Lu didn't touch DPS heroes. She was actually very good at playing tank-type top laners, but she didn't need to teach mouse. The focus was to teach mouse how to play Jayce.
A hero with a strong version.
You can't learn things about team battles, but the details of laning can indeed be taught, and Jace's team fighting is also very simple. Just pay attention to your position and qe consumption. Basically, you only need to have the skills.
But in fact, Mouse asked Cheng Lu to teach him not because he wanted to play on his own. He was good at playing big trees, and more importantly, he wanted to be proficient in laning with such powerful heroes.
······
On October 12th, the second round of the group stage officially started. In this round, the winner will be determined directly in each group on the same day. The top two teams will advance directly. The first day of the game is between the four teams in Group B.
In the duel, the lz team, which had previously ranked first in the group, once again won three consecutive victories with an unstoppable momentum, locking the first place in the group and directly advancing.
In the eyes of most viewers, Group B should be the group with the largest strength gap in the group. LZ, the No. 1 seed in LCK, has absolutely dominated the performance of LCK this season. In the summer split of LCK, SKT was sent away by KT.
After entering the finals, they still lost to lz 1:3. Before the start of the s competition, some people claimed that this was the strongest team in the s competition.
The other three teams in Group B are indeed far behind compared to them. Needless to say, imt and gam, the old giants fnc are also in decline this year, so lz can win such a record and advance to the next level.
It didn't surprise everyone.
As for the second promotion spot in Group B, the remaining three teams are all about the same strength. After the extra rounds, the more experienced FNC finally advanced successfully with a record of 4-4 in second place.
This team can be considered a team that is relatively familiar to LPL audiences, and there has been no upset.
The match in Group C started the next day. RNG, the top team in the group, lost the first game to G2, which made many LPL fans feel nervous. With the lessons learned from edg, everyone's hearts are hanging on.
I was afraid that rng would make the same mistake again, but fortunately rng adjusted well and won the next two games.
In the end, they lost to g2 in the group stage. They double-killed ssg and fb and secured first place in the group with a record of 5-1 to secure the promotion spot.
Ranked second in Group C is ssg, which lost two games to rng and locked in the promotion spot with a 4-2 record.
And the g2 team, which jumped out to work before the game and claimed to win Group C with a 6-0 victory record, ended up only winning 3-3 and ranking third. Ah P really had a lot of fun, and Yasuo paid for it.
Out.
The most pitiable thing is the fb team, which basically has no sense of existence. With a record of 0-6, it has not won a game and is at the bottom.
This group is also the one that LPL viewers are paying the most attention to right now, and rng’s smooth promotion is very exciting.
Next comes ig.
As predicted before the game, there was no decent opponent in this group. ig, who had ranked first in the first round, effortlessly won three consecutive victories again and advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-0 record.
The situation of group d is somewhat similar to that of group b. ig and lz both excelled and won the first place in the group without any suspense.
Ranked second is msf. With a record of 3-3, it won the promotion spot in the group with a one-game lead over tsm. The two established giants tsm and fw have so far stopped on the stage of the S7 World Championship.
So far, the results of the three groups have been divided. 6 teams have locked in the top eight, two of which are teams from the lpl. ig and rng are indeed very competitive, both advancing with the first place in the group stage.
to the quarterfinals.
There is no doubt that the pressure will then come to edg's side. There was another heated discussion on the Internet that night. Whether the highly anticipated edg can respond to everyone's expectations is a question.
What are you looking forward to? It must be that edg can enter the quarterfinals, instead of being directly eliminated in the group stage. As for those above the quarterfinals, the audience can't even think about it now. edg has been exposed until now
There were a lot of problems, and the group stage was so miserable. Even if they could advance, they would never go far. Even if other strong teams were hiding things, they wouldn't be able to trick themselves to this extent.
But now everyone’s expectations for edg are not that high, that is, reaching the top eight, which is really not high for edg who has been in the top eight every year.
At the same time, after today's Group D IG game, some netizens discovered some different highlights, that is, three of the No. 1 seeds in each major area of the S7 World Championship have left, namely G2 and TSM.
, fw, as if holding hands and waiting for edg to come over.
This discovery also caused a lot of discussion on the Internet.
However, whether he is among the three teams in the lpl or among the number one seeds in each major competition, the pressure is indeed on edg.
On October 15th, the last day of the group stage begins.
Wuhan Sports Center, among the spectators who came to the scene this time, basically everyone came to support edg. No matter which fan they belonged to, they all turned into edg fans at this time, and various support cards were
edg, even some of the cheering cards of the grumpy old man revealed a grumpy style, and this was just the audience who came to the scene. More viewers across the country were supporting edg behind the screen of the live broadcast room, unanimously
There is only today for the outside world. If edg loses, it will definitely become a unanimous decision against edg in the next few days.
But after the first game started, it gave the LPL audience a bad premonition.
It has nothing to do with edg. In the match between skt and ahq, ahq defeated skt in a crushing way. After ahq won this small victory, it was obvious that edg's situation would be even more unfavorable.
The water in Group A suddenly became muddier, making it impossible to tell the depth.
In the second game, edg faced c9. At the beginning of this game, good news came from just the BP session, because edg finally stopped playing Lucian and followed their usual stable play style.
He was replaced by the top laner Dashu, and the mid laner Galio switched to playing four guarantees and one around the bottom lane. He played very steadily throughout the game.
At 35 minutes of game time, edg pushed away c9's base and won their first victory in this S-match. Seeing this victory, many edg fans at the scene began to cheer.
This edg really proved that they are still a capable team even if they are not superstitious about Lucian.
The next game that followed was edg versus ahq. The audience breathed a sigh of relief again after seeing that Lucian was not selected in the bp session.
ahq had studied edg and chose to block Galio to counter edg's stable play style. However, after scout gave up such an attractive choice as Lucian, he chose Syndra, an equally strong mid laner.
And perhaps because of ahq's victory against SKT in the last round, they gained confidence and directly locked in Jayce in the selection of units on the fifth floor of the blue side. You must know that in the previous game of ahq,
The single is a bastard hero, this move is very suspicious of ordering food.
However, EDG's top laner Mouse laughed when he saw this choice. The opponent was indeed confident. In this life-and-death match that determined whether he could advance to the quarterfinals, Jayce, who had never seen this move before, used it like
It's like pulling out a trump card.
But it was meaningless. Mouse responded to the ever-changing situation by staying the same and directly locked on the ancestral tree. He didn't know how the opponent Jace was playing, but in the past few days of training, he was tortured by Cheng Lu's Jace every day, and his intensity increased.
After coming up, as long as his opponent Jace's ID is not theshy, there will be no pressure on him.
In this game, after edg returned to himself, he showed his own style. In 24 minutes of game time, he defeated ahq with a head ratio of 11:1 and an economic advantage of more than 10,000 and won the victory.
I have to say that after Edg stopped being obsessed with Lucian, he won the two games against c9 and ahq very easily. While the lpl audience was pleasantly surprised, they also inevitably started to complain that it would not be stable if they played like this earlier. If the first two games were
If we play this way, edg's promotion is definitely stable. But now, the most difficult game is still behind. If they can defeat skt, edg can still play in the playoffs. If they lose, it will be gone.
