[Damn it, SKT beat RNG, WE beat SSG, Master Leng’s luck is so bad!]
[I think it’s okay. Originally, our LPL division was aiming to win the championship this year. As long as you want to win the championship, what difference does it make whether you meet SKT first or later? 】
[At least this grouping is interesting. EDG beats FNC, RNG beats SKT, both are battles of revenge.]
[Let’s not talk about RNG for now, I feel like WE and EDG should be firmly in the semi-finals, right? 】
[If RNG kills SKT with a sudden burst, then there will really be three LPL teams in the top four this year.]
[Mainly, this year’s SKT doesn’t feel that invincible. Even if they were beaten by EDG in two games in the group stage, even AHQ can beat them. I feel that RNG really has no chance!]
[If we switch to WE, I think there is a chance, but RNG... SKT has a dog-fighting Bang, I think Xuan.]
[Haha, Bang is also the best in the world. How many blows can he play in the lane? Majesty loses a tower in six minutes? 】
[It’s as if Uzi wasn’t penetrated by Majesty in the lane. At least SKT lasted 18 minutes in both games.]
Regarding the results of this year's knockout group draw, there were various opinions on the Internet for a while.
Some people think that the grouping of the top eight is very bad. They actually put the two second-seeds of LCK against each other in the LPL. Under the premise that the three LPL teams will not meet in the first round, this situation can be said to be the worst.
grouping results.
At the same time, many viewers think this result is acceptable, because if the two LPL teams can defeat their opponents, only one LZ team in the LCK can reach the semi-finals this year.
Since the LPL has performed well in foreign competitions this year, although the Internet thinks that RNG and WE are not very lucky, they feel that they have no chance of winning, especially WE's chance of winning is not small.
After all, SKT was severely beaten by EDG in two rounds in the group stage, and SSG was even beaten by RNG. Especially optimistic fans have begun to look forward to the three top four LPL teams joining forces to encircle and suppress LZ.
Not to mention EDG, everyone thinks they got a good draw.
As for why it is a good draw, first of all, they directly avoided the two Korean teams in the first round of the quarterfinals. At the same time, they were not in the same half zone as the other No. 1 seed LZ, and the domestic competition record is stable.
On the WE side, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they will be sent to the finals directly.
But it is precisely because of this that LPL viewers are more worried...
Because every time EDG draws a good draw, they always disappoint fans in various unexpected ways.
Last year's group stage had such a good fortune, but they were severely beaten by the wild card division and lost the chance to qualify first in the group. The year before last, in the S5 global finals, FNC, which is recognized as the weakest group, was ranked first in the quarterfinals, which shocked the fans.
They were all so happy.
Before the game, manager San Shao also made cruel remarks. Ming Kai even sent "nimensidingle" in the chat column, but was backhanded and beaten 4-0.
Even though the state of FNC this year seems to be extremely poor, and they barely qualified through the second round of group stage playoffs. They no longer have the courage to punch IG and kick C9, but against such a "dad", can EDG retaliate?
The revenge of 4 to 0 back then was once again a joke of S5. To be honest, fans were very unsure.
Seeing these comments on the Internet, Yang Yi just felt a little sad.
Last year, Klin's Dirty Dance kick not only kicked away a large number of fans, but also kicked away the confidence of the audience and fans in EDG. Even if they were drawn against an opponent like FNC, public opinion on the Internet was only conservatively optimistic about EDG.
The main piglets don't dare to have hopes for EDG, because this team never disappoints in disappointing aspects.
The day after the results of the quarterfinals came out, EDG's large team boarded a flight to Guangzhou.
The first is to adapt to the environment in advance to avoid acclimatization - even though this global finals is played in China, people on the Internet are joking that if you lose this year, you can't use acclimatization as an excuse, but you must know that this is China.
!
Our country's land area is about 9.734230 square kilometers, accounting for about 1/15 of the world's land area and 1/4 of Asia's area. There must be a huge difference between the north and the south in such a country.
Needless to say, there are many people on the Internet who are fighting all day long. Just discussing whether winter is colder in the south or in the north will make everyone tear their heads.
The second is to cooperate with the official staff to shoot the promotional video for the quarterfinals.
The quarter-finals will be held in the main venue of the Guangzhou Stadium, which is not small in size. The total project covers an area of about 240,000 square meters, of which the stadium accounts for one-third, with tens of thousands of regular seats.
Compared with more well-known stadiums such as the Bird's Nest, the Guangzhou Stadium has a history of sixteen years since its completion. Like all aging buildings, more and more concerts and large-scale events have been held here in recent years.
The fewer tickets there are, the harder it will be to sell tickets.
But this time is an exception. Since all three LPL teams have reached the quarter-finals, there is no need to worry about selling tickets for the quarter-finals. All the tickets for the match day of the three LPL teams were sold out within one minute of going on sale.
It was sold out, and even the match between LZ and MSF was also benefited. The scalpers who grabbed the tickets took the opportunity to make a fortune. The scalpers' tickets at the better locations were sold for sky-high prices, making many people really want to come and watch the game live.
The LPL viewers are deterred.
Due to the huge scale of the Guangzhou Gymnasium, an 80,000-square-meter athletes' village was reserved during the original design. Therefore, the eight participating teams even saved money on hotels and were directly accommodated in the athletes' villages.
In the village.
The accommodation environment is also good. After all, it is specially prepared to receive athletes who come for competitions and celebrities who come for concerts. It is much better than the previous hotel.
The only drawback is that the network here is a bit poor, but this difference is compared to Seoul, South Korea. The delay there is basically single digits, while the network delay here is around 35.
For LPL players who are used to this delay, the 35 delay is already quite smooth. In the past, when Yang Yi secretly played League of Legends in a black Internet cafe, the delay in the Internet cafe could often reach hundreds.
However, the three teams in the LCK couldn't stand it, especially Teacher Da Fei, who often complained to the officials and players from other LCK teams that the ping value was too high.
The other two teams didn't have such an obvious feeling. It was just that Da Fei had been saying this for a long time, and they felt a little uncomfortable as time went by.
So the three LCK teams simply suspended their ranking training and devoted themselves entirely to training matches.
At first, Abramovich thought that EDG would be as popular as it was in the group stage, and the other seven teams would rush over to schedule training matches with them. Later, he found that it was becoming increasingly difficult to schedule training matches with LCK teams, and he realized the problem.
Hurry up and get RNG and WE to have a training camp.
Because in the first round of the lottery grouping, the three teams in the China and South Korea divisions did not have a civil war in the top eight, everyone did not have to worry about tactics and playing styles being exposed in the training matches, and the training effect was much stronger than usual.
The remaining two European teams, FNC and MSF, were confused at first glance. They were already fighting each other in training matches, and the LCK team didn't look down on them at all, so they could only try to compete with the three LPL teams.
Training match.
However, FNC is about to compete head-on with EDG, so the only European Rabbids who come to Yang Yi and the others are the European Rabbids. Abramovich originally planned to directly reject MSF's training match invitation, or just make a few symbolic appointments to play casually.
However, he heard that the invitation from RNG next door to FNC was open to all, so he also relaxed to MSF and wanted to get a taste of FNC's style from MSF.
You won’t know the result until you fight, but you will be shocked when you fight. The European Rabbids are not as unbearable as Abramovich thought before the game. The early offensive pressure they brought to EDG was even greater than RNG with spicy hot pot. Not only the middle and jungle two
MSF's midfielder suffered a big loss, and the black technology brought out by the bottom lane duo even made Yang Yi and Tian Ye drink a pot.
In this version, which is full of incense burner monsters and soft assistants, MSF's assistant IgNar actually reversed the version and took out a hand of robots, Niutou and Japanese women, which really caught the EDG duo by surprise.
In particular, IgNar has a unique understanding of Japanese girls' talents. He actually did not choose [Courage of the Colossus] that the regular hard support likes to use, but instead selected [War Zeal] that only ADCs and warriors can use.
During the first laning battle against the enthusiastic Japanese girl, the unprepared EDG duo was completely stunned. They sent out two waves of laning kills one after another. Hans and Sama’s little cannon got fatter and killed everyone in the field, causing Yang Yi and Tian Ye to panic.
The mentality explodes.
It can only be said that the World Championship is indeed very easy for players and teams to grow rapidly. MSF's current state is simply a completely different team compared to their time in the group stage.
Abu is even a little lucky. People on the Internet said before that the LPL team was unlucky for not drawing MSF. Now it seems that it would be unlucky if any team drew the European Crazy Rabbit. If LZ's mental quality is not up to standard and they fail to make timely adjustments, they will end up in trouble.
Unfortunately, there will be an upset in the quarterfinals!
After the scheduled training match on the first day, Abramovich immediately took the initiative to make an appointment for the next two days, with an attitude that was arrogant but respectful.
MSF didn't say much. They deliberately brought out this black technology in training matches just to make EDG pay attention to themselves and to test whether it can be effective against strong teams.
EDG, which has defeated SKT right now, is a perfect experimental subject. The two teams are mainly in different half regions, so there is no conflict of interest for the time being, and EDG has also become interested in MSF's high-tech lineup.
After taking precautions, the effect of MSF's black technology will be greatly reduced. Although they can gain a certain advantage in the early laning, as long as they can survive the mid-term team battle, going against the version will cost them dearly. MSF's training matches
The winning rate also dropped again and again.
However, after three days of training matches, Abramovich and Nofe had new ideas about this black technology support.
Paired with hard support like Japanese Girl and Ox Head, it just makes the team lose one incense burner monster, but if you can get a tool player like Karma in the middle that can produce incense burners, then this problem will naturally be solved.
Anyway, Kalma is not difficult to operate. As long as Scout practices a little bit, this lineup can become EDG's tactic to keep the bottom of the box, and maybe it will work wonders in the future.
In such day-to-day training, the first day of the knockout rounds finally arrived as scheduled.
On October 19th, RNG and SKT kicked off the quarter-finals with a bloody duel.
No one expected that the man who was called God by the whole world would actually take out a so-called gangster hero in the first game of the quarterfinals - Galio.
Of course, the hero chosen by Xiaohu didn’t expect to go anywhere. Malzahar, the mid-hand midfielder, is also a classic in the eyes of the audience. The main reason is that this hero is not difficult to operate. The only detail required is to put an E on the target before turning on the R.
Skill [Evil Star Illusion], because the mechanism of the ultimate move Hades' Grip can refresh the duration of this skill. Anyway, it is not a complicated operation. A set of EQWR combos only requires enough distance and hand.
Isn't it true that someone would play Grasshopper and not put E on the opponent before zooming in?
Xiaohu was once regarded as the new hope of the domestic mid laner. After losing to Faker in the quarterfinals last year, many viewers were optimistic that Xiaohu, who played 90,000 in this year's game, would take revenge on Faker. Unexpectedly, this year's two mid laners unexpectedly took out theirs.
There are two gangster heroes fighting in the middle.
But the difference is that RNG has a pig who doesn't eat grass and only eats meat, while SKT has a Xiang who doesn't eat meat and only eats grass.
In this game, nk's Zach exploded into a flying star. In the early stage, the three-way gank rhythm was invincible. In the middle and late stages, he took the lead and decisively broke up the team, completely destroying the opponent's black, and also won the MVP of this game.
The SKT coach in the lounge turned green when he saw the horse dunk. NK was carried out with a chair. Fortunately, after he calmed down, he felt that he lost the game because he did not do a good job in BP, and then asked Xiao Hei to be present.
Stayed there for a while.
In the second game, RNG came to the red side where BP was inferior, and indeed allowed SKT to regain the game.
But RNG actually had no chance of winning in this game. RNG even had a huge advantage in the early and mid-term, but these advantages were basically concentrated on Letme's top laner Gnar, and they were ruined by his back jump not long after.
However, as RNG returned to the blue side in the third game, the old disease relapsed again, allowing Xiangguo to get the first pig girl with invincible rhythm, and Spicy Xiangguo also played again as in the first game
The MVP performance brought the score to 2-1.
Seeing that RNG was only one game away from defeating Triple Crown champion SKT, countless LPL spectators were excited. The possibility of retaining the S7 championship in China became infinite at this moment!
In the fourth game, Kkoma, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He first lifted Xiao Hei, replaced Xiao Peanut and started the game again, and then decisively banned the pig girl from Xiang Guo.
Pinat, who had been cooling off at the water cooler for a while, did not let him down. With the help of Faker Galio, he helped SKT get the score back to two to two.
At the critical moment of the deciding game, RNG’s coach Feng Ge frowned and asked in Brother Bath’s ear:
"Can you know Xia? Xia Luo is invincible."
"I won't."
"OK, let's go to the mouse."
