October 16th, the fifth match day of the group stage.
Kang Dongxun led the whole team to watch the game in the hotel room.
It wouldn’t be wrong to look at the game content of other teams. Anyway, KT’s top eight opponents will also be born among the following teams.
In addition to hard power, BO5 also requires tactical reserves. After experiencing S7, Mr. Kang Dongxun will not underestimate any opponent.
How invincible was the Dragon Ball he led back then?
The No. 1 seed in the LCK, qualifying 6-0 in the group stage, who would have thought that Longzhu would be crushed by Samsung in the quarterfinals, which they allowed them to round and flatten in the LCK?
After experiencing the terrifying drama at the beginning, Mr. Kang Dongxun is now very stable.
What is somewhat surprising is that after FPX's downturn yesterday, EDG is not in good shape today either.
In the second round, they only defeated DFM, the weakest team in the group. They were first crushed by T1 and then easily defeated by 100 Thieves without any rhythm in the game.
T1 won the second round and counterattacked to qualify as the top spot in Group B.
Relying on a 3-0 points advantage in the first round, EDG was in poor condition and lost two games in a row in the second round. In the end, they advanced with a 4-2 record and T1.
Fortunately, 100T lost the last game to T1, otherwise there would have been a lively scene of three 4-2 teams playing in a playoff.
According to the state of EDG today, there is a real risk of being eliminated in the playoffs.
No one expected that FPX would be taken away without winning a game in the second round, and EDG would only win one game in the second round and lose the top spot in the group.
During the interview, Viper expressed his disappointment with the team's state today and his unwillingness to face KT in the quarterfinals.
The LPL audience has already broken through.
"EDG played really disgustingly today, the familiar smell is back"
"I saw hope in the first round, but in the second round I was beaten by T1 as a human machine, and then was beaten violently by North America. Is this playing with snakes?"
"If T1 hadn't raised a hand and defeated 100T, if the three teams had played in the playoffs and had been in this state, EDG would have come back."
"Dian Bao is ready to go home to the top eight again, right?"
"Everyone said that a team with KR Koreans is unreliable. Only the CN all-China class RNG is worthy of my support."
"I feel like EDG is controlling points and deliberately qualifying as No. 2 to start a civil war."
"Viper said he doesn't want to play KT, so he obviously wants to play RNG. It's really disgusting."
As for the LCK, things are happening again.
After beating EDG, 100T and DFM continuously, they began to clamor for revenge against KT.
Youth Storm has come to Iceland to evolve, and now only KT is our target.
Of course, KT fans are not used to them, and when they see the trend of Tan Zong rising, they immediately become full of fire.
Youth storm?
How many times have you guys been treated like pigs and killed?
It’s almost the same as stupid and crazy abalone!
Give it a rest, you guys.
Of course, aside from the fans' bluster, it is true that T1 performed very well today, and they displayed a variety of tactics.
Their system for taking cats is very strong, and if the opponent dares to take cats, they will directly use Luna to penetrate the bottom lane. If the opponent does not let go of Luna, they can still suppress it with the combination of Lulu + Aphelios.
In particular, Keria's hero pool is really deep. He dares to use anything to support him, and he always performs amazingly. No one knows how many weirder things there are in his hero pool.
In fact, although the hero Yuumi has reached a 100% BP rate in the group stage, not all teams can use it.
At least none of the current LPL teams seem to have this set of tactical reserves. Only EDG used Yuumi + female guns, but they were beaten to pieces by T1.
On the contrary, the LCK team will take Yuumi on the blue side as long as the opponent dares to let it go.
This is also something that makes it difficult for LPL viewers to let go.
It seems that the tactical reserves of the two competition regions are simply not at the same level. Are all our training groups eating white rice?
Of course, KT is an exception.
No matter in red or blue, they will not choose Yuumi.
But no one doubts that KT can't control Yuumi's system.
Is it difficult for the Yumi system to exist with someone like Lin Cheng who defies heaven?
There is a big daddy in the team, even if Yuumi is disabled, he can still play.
I can only say that KT doesn’t use it because it really doesn’t fit their style of play, but other teams obviously can’t handle it if they don’t use it.
This is not a double standard, this is respect for Lin Cheng.
Others are very powerful with a male swordsman + cat. What kind of terrifying scene would it be for KT to have a sword girl + cat?
The first two game days of the second round have been enough to make LPL viewers miserable, and this is not over yet.
October 17th is the sixth match day of the group stage.
In today's first game, RNG came up and faced FNC's huge advantage, but was overturned and suffered the first upset.
Even though Jane has low self-esteem, this is FNC!
What are the LPL teams playing in the second round?
Bad memories were triggered in the minds of LPL viewers.
God's last game was when he lost to FNC and was carried away. Isn't it Heilisang's turn to host Xiaohu's retirement ceremony today?
Originally, the self-confidence in the competition area should not be so worried about gains and losses, but the plot of the past two days was too magical. No one knew whether the water in Iceland was poisonous.
There’s no reason for the entire competition area to pull their hips at the same time, right?
Fortunately, RNG withstood the pressure in the next game against PSG and successfully defeated the opponent to lock in a qualifying spot in advance.
The audience breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it can be seen that RNG's state in the second round was not very good. Then they lost to GEN·G. As a result, they ended up with the same points as GEN·G and had to go through extra rounds to compete for the first place in the group.
In the playoffs, RNG defeated GEN·G with difficulty and finally secured the first place in the group.
In this way, the two qualifying places in Group C are RNG and GEN·G.
The LPL audience was a little dizzy.
Yesterday they were still blasting EDG, but in the end, even the all-China class RNG was unreliable?
Although both ranked first in the group, compared with KT who beat everything before and T1 who chopped melons and vegetables, RNG looked weak in terms of game content.
It can be said that RNG wanted to control the points and not have a civil war with EDG, but it happened that they won the extra round.
There is no way to deceive yourself.
The LCK audience is already excited.
Gen·G, who went 1-2 in the first round, was originally considered by the outside world to be the team with the least chance of advancing to the LCK, but in the end, it barely qualified as the first in the group.
Now, no need to say more about who is the first division, right?
Be bold! Conquer the top four!
The LPL audience has had a dream, now it’s their turn.
October 18th is the last match day of the group stage.
The big one is here again.
LNG worked hard to defeat DK in today's game, but lost to TL and MAD one after another.
Then in the playoffs, LNG lost to MAD again and was unfortunately eliminated.
No one expected that Guan Zeyuan not only predicted the outcome perfectly, but also revealed the process in advance.
Phoenix follows?
Feng Yiqi follows!
Little Phoenix was the first to be eliminated, followed closely by Little Qilin!
At this point, the LPL team faced a total defeat against Europe and the United States in the second round.
That’s right, total defeat!
The second round started with FPX, and the LPL team failed to win even a small game against European and American players.
