After the game on the 13th, the first round of the group stage officially ended.
On the third day of the competition, the four LPL teams still maintained a complete victory. It seems that they are really preparing to regain the title of the first division this year.
Another carnival for fans in the competition area.
The current results of each group are as follows.
Group A:
KT 3-0
FPX 2-1
RGE 1-2
C9 0-3
Although FPX's 2-1 record in the first round was not bad, the performance on the field still disappointed fans.
Originally, everyone thought that the two big devils in Group A were fighting each other, and that they would beat up the other two European and American bastards.
As a result, I didn’t expect that FPX and the European and American teams were at odds with each other, but KT treated the other three teams equally and beat them violently.
Of course, even if FPX's current performance is mediocre, LPL audiences still have high hopes.
After all, judging from the performance in the summer split, even the semi-finals of the S tournament are low requirements for FPX.
As the third seed in Europe this year, Rouge was placed in a group with the two favorites to win the championship, and the European audience did not expect much from them.
The minimum requirement of the audience is not to lose to C9.
EU is greater than NA, please know!
C9 has inherited the glorious tradition of the North American team and started with a hellish 0-3. The probability of North American Light advancing is extremely slim.
Group B:
EDG 3-0
T1 2-1
100T 1-2
DFM 0-3
This group is currently in line with everyone's expectations. Although the score format is exactly the same as Group A, the content shown in the game is completely different.
Although T1 lost to EDG, they were crazy and violent when playing DFM and 100T. It seems that EDG and T1 have a high probability of advancing together.
In the second round, we will see whether 100T can inherit the glorious tradition of North America and play the role of water ghost, and get a point from EDG or T1.
DFM is working hard to seek breakthroughs and strive to win the main stage of the first global finals in team history.
Group C:
RNG 3-0
PSG 2-1
GEN·G 1-2
FNC 0-3
This group is actually quite unexpected. The 0-3 start of the European powerhouse FNC is a bit surprising.
However, considering that the core AD player in their team, Jian, had low self-esteem and ran away from the battle, this result is actually justifiable.
It seems that there is no suspense about RNG's promotion. It depends on who can grab the second promotion ticket between PSG and GEN·G in the second round.
Group D:
DK 2-1
LNG 2-1
MAD 1-2
TL 1-2
The scores of this group are the closest, and the results are forming a closed loop. It is not surprising that anyone is eliminated in the second round, but DK is still the more promising team.
DK's early offensive ability has dropped significantly this year, but being able to reach the finals in the LCK spring and summer to compete with KT for the championship shows that this team has a high ceiling.
It's just that DK often falls into a disadvantage when facing weak teams in the early stage. It's not surprising that they lose to some teams that everyone is not optimistic about before the game.
The end of the first round of the group stage can be said to be a bumper harvest for the LPL and LCK regions.
Except for GEN·G, the other teams in the two major regions are in the worst situation and have two wins. It seems that the LCK and LPL have a lot of hope to jointly occupy the top eight.
Will the knockout tournament become an intercontinental tournament?
We all have a bright future.
Two of the three undefeated teams are from the LPL. At this time, the excited LPL viewers have begun to think about how to avoid civil war in the quarterfinals.
"Tsk tsk! After a long time, only KT is considered a threat"
"I declare! This year is the most promising year for LPL!"
"A certain shoe: I've said it for a long time, this year is the weakest year for LPL (eating melon)"
"Smelly Shoe knows 78, and in his mouth, except for the S8 championship, there is no gold in it"
"Let's see, big players, what are our chances of winning the semi-finals?"
"As long as there is no civil war, there is really a way to win the top four"
"The current status of RNG and EDG no longer supports them becoming second in the group. It depends on whether FPX and LNG can qualify as first in the group"
"Whoever fails to live up to expectations and takes second place in the group, prepare for a civil war."
Coincidentally, LCK viewers also consider the issue of civil war.
"After the first day of LPL, we played better and better, and we are indeed our biggest opponent."
"Only GEN·G has some difficulty in advancing. They must win PSG in the second round."
"Just don't lose to FNC, I always feel like GEN·G is going to do something big"
"In the second round, GEN·G won RNG and PSG in a row, then lost to FNC and was eliminated, right?"
"You understand the effect of the program"
"Why are you so afraid of FNC? They are 0-3"
"Because FNC has been promoted after starting from 0-4"
"If GEN·G advances, they will probably have to fight a civil war, so why not just eliminate them?"
Although fans from the two competition regions are wary of each other's bad mouths, they have one thing in common:
They don’t even regard the European and American teams as human beings!
From the perspective of LPL and LCK viewers, there is a high probability that all Western teams will be wiped out in this year’s quarterfinals.
The one with the best record in the first round of the LEC and LCS divisions is 1-2. Who will advance first?
The only team outside the two major regions that has a relatively high hope of reaching the quarterfinals is PSG.
It’s another year that European and American pornographic guys have been routinely underestimated.
October 14th is the offseason after the first round, and there is no game today.
However, the promotional videos for the second round of the four groups must be shot in one day, which is actually not leisurely for the players.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Cheng was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone.
Without opening his eyes, Lin Cheng, who was huddled in bed, reached out and groped for a long time on the bedside, and finally found his cell phone.
"Moxi Moxi? Yabuseyo?"
"What took you so long to answer the phone?"
Chi Shengxi's voice came from the mobile phone, "Get up quickly! After dinner, I have to go to shoot a promotional video early today. Everyone is up, but you are the only one left!"
Lin Cheng responded vaguely: "I know, I'll get up right away."
He promised so well that Lin Cheng dropped his phone and was still feeling dizzy.
After the group stage started, Lin Cheng had even less time to rank. In order to hit the first place in the European server, Lin Cheng played until three in the morning last night. He didn't want to leave the bed at all.
Although he was very tired last night, he also successfully raised his European server RANK score to 1600, officially becoming the first in the European server.
Tara Go!
Now open OPGG, this ID cannot be avoided in the European server.
Hmm~~~How should Zhiyan reward me when I go back?
Wear black stockings and dance for a minute?
No! Not sincere enough.
How about... let the sisters-in-law take turns dancing for a minute to take a look?
Brother Cheng can be used as a mirror and a wall.
Hehe! This is good, this is good.
But if you bring it up, there’s a high chance that Hyomin will chew it up and criticize it, right?
Ju Li’s personality is a bit easier to bully...
Lin Cheng's mind wasn't clear yet, so he was thinking quite coquettishly with his eyes closed.
Just as he was daydreaming, the doorbell rang.
"Who is it?"
Lin Cheng got up with difficulty, opened the door and saw little Peanut standing outside the door neatly dressed.
"Sister Sheng Xi asked me to wake you up and we are about to leave."
"Right away."
Lin Cheng said it nicely, then turned around and went back to bed.
Little Peanut sighed, "I promised Sister Sheng Xi that I would wake you up, but you are making it very difficult for me."
He sighed, but there was a sinister smile on his face.
Raising his eyebrows, Little Peanut closed the door like a thief.
This scene is quite a bit like Tom Cat preparing to close the door and beat up Jerry.
Peanut Butter took out the ice-cold soda hidden behind her back and quietly leaned towards Lin Cheng.
"ah!!!"
A scream sounded in the room.
"Han Wanghao, you are dead! I will kill you!"
There was a flurry of excitement, and Little Peanut opened the door and ran away.
Lin Cheng chased him in his pajamas and fought all the way to the hotel lobby.
There happened to be an English speaking reporter who was accompanying the team taking a rest in the hotel lobby and witnessed Lin Cheng being so angry that he was about to chase down Peanut Butter.
Immediately, the reporter turned on his computer and quickly edited the article.
