LNG was eliminated in the last extra round on October 18, and MAD used operations to turn the situation around despite being at a huge disadvantage in the early stage.
At the end of the game, the Chinese commentator was already a little confused.
This year's LPL team's group stage experience has been nothing short of ups and downs.
No other year has been so wonderful.
In the past, we were either desperate to the end or the situation was promising. Never before has we been on such a roller coaster ride as this year.
The performance of the LPL division in the entire group stage is roughly like this.
On the first day of 2-2, the Internet was in mourning.
The next day it was 4-0 and everyone was revived.
On the third day, 4-0, the champagne was flowing.
On the fourth day, 0-4, FPX received a lot of criticism.
On the fifth day, 1-2, EDG's reputation collapsed.
On the seventh day, 2-2, RNG was questioned.
On the eighth day, 1-3, Leng Shao suffered the highest intensity of online violence in his career.
Anyway, the mentality of the LPL audience is broken.
It can only be said that the double-elimination competition system of the LPL still has its merits. In the end, only the two champions of spring and summer remained.
Life must go on. After the game to send off LNG, the draw ceremony for the knockout round will be held on site.
KT players gathered in the training room to watch the draw.
But Lin Cheng is not here.
As the representative of the team, Lin Cheng will attend the draw ceremony at the competition site.
Club staff have set up cameras in the training room to record Vlog, preparing to record the players' reactions to watching the draw.
This is a routine part of every team. It can be said that famous scenes occur in the group stage and knockout draws every year.
For Flash Wolves in S7, every time a team is drawn out of the group stage, they applaud and cheer loudly. From the players to the coaches to the backstage staff, everyone is filled with joy.
The group of people laughed so wildly that they thought they had won the championship.
I was really happy that I wasn't assigned to the LCK team, but when I got drawn, I laughed so hard, but I was slapped in the face.
They went to the group stage and got off to a 0-5 start.
At that time, the Flash Wolves were all old acquaintances from the LPL.
Karsa, Maple, Snake, Betty and War Horse. Although these people unfortunately did not come to the World Championship this year, Steak and Little Bi have already come and have led FPX to swim home.
RNG in S8 is even more classic. Xiaohu smiled twice, and all RNG members laughed until S9.
S9's FNC didn't give up much. When they drew FPX, Bwipo led his teammates to sing a song, but when he got to the court, he was addicted to the Internet and put on a mask of pain.
Besides that, there were many slap-in-the-face scenes. Anyway, Mr. Dai remembered what Lin Cheng said to him when he left today.
"Remember! No matter who you draw, you must not laugh!"
When S6 drew INTZ in EDG, Mr. Dai couldn't help but laugh with his teammates. EDG became the first LPL team to lose to a wild card that year.
"Come on, come on! The lottery has begun."
Mr. Dai sat upright and said, "Remember not to laugh."
Kang Dongxun joked: "The person most likely to be unable to bear it is not here, everyone should be able to bear it, right?"
Little Peanut suddenly clapped his hands, "That's bad! Lin Cheng shouldn't laugh out loud on stage, right? That would be such a loss of character."
"It's possible that every time Brother Lin Cheng tells us not to laugh, he ends up laughing the loudest."
Everyone burst out laughing, and the training room was filled with joy.
Lin Cheng was not here anyway, so Mr. Kang Dongxun took the lead and drove hard.
Under the introduction of the on-site host, the lottery guests have already appeared.
The person in charge of the knockout draw this time is Nukeduck, a player who currently plays for Excel in the LEC.
Nukeduck does not have any honors in his career. The few highlights may only be when he used his own hero to kill the snake girl who penetrated the hat king when he was in a brave state.
But he is a very experienced player.
Nukeduck has been competing since his debut in 2011.
Of course, according to Riot's usual style of inviting celebrities from the local competition area to draw lots, the reason why Nukeduck was invited to draw the lots this time may be because European celebrities of Xiaoyang's level are not willing to come to the scene.
Nukeduck is a Norwegian. Norway, which is also a Nordic country, is adjacent to Iceland and is relatively close to each other.
Anyway, being idle at home is idle.
At this time, the Chinese live streaming room was very busy.
"Who is this person who drew lots? I don't know you at all"
"Nobody, is Riot so perfunctory in inviting guests now?"
"Young Master Leng can draw lots in S7, why can't the nuclear bomb duck come?"
"Indeed! Icon didn't have an LPL champion either. No one recognized the LPL at that time."
"Don't bully young people who are poor. This year's icon shocked the world. Why do you say it's not famous?"
"This year, all the mid laners who are playing against Leng Shao want to kill him alone. This achievement is already comparable to Faker, please know"
"Bengbu is here! It's on par with Faker, right?"
"The only mid laner in Group D designated for solo kill!"
"Young Master Leng, you should concentrate on drawing lots from now on, and don't go to the World Championships."
"Cold dishes + 50 yuan, this little unicorn is not unjust if he is eliminated"
LNG had just been eliminated, and the LPL audience was still angry. At this time, the barrage still didn't let Leng Shao go.
The main reason is that the performance of icon today is even more outstanding than that of Coin Brother before.
Brother Coin had a problem with his thinking and used random equipment to mix things up, while Young Master Leng played too hard in today's game and was killed by a single player. The gap between the mid laner and the mid laner was visible to the naked eye.
Soon, the representative players of the eight teams also appeared.
The representative players of the four No. 1 seeds lined up on the left side of the stage, while the representative players of the No. 2 seeds stood on the right.
The representative players of each team are basically the captains of their respective teams.
of course there are exceptions.
For example, DK's representative player is Showmaker, and their captain is actually Beryl.
The camera swept over one by one, and Lin Cheng stood first on the left, wearing a team uniform and standing tall.
"Brother Cheng Zi is so handsome!"
"Lick the screen! My Orange Brother"
"The key is temperament. With broad shoulders and a straight back, you look very stylish when you stand there. Brother Li and Xiaohu next to you look a bit vulgar in comparison."
"It's too much to say obscene (dog head)"
"Isn't DK's captain Lao Lu? Why is it that Xiu Mei is here to draw lots?"
"I suspect Beryl is busy playing Genshin Impact in the hotel and has no time!"
"Reasonable! Genshin Impact is more attractive than drawing lots"
The draw officially begins.
The current situation of the two seed pool teams is as follows.
No. 1 seed pool: KT, T1, RNG, DK
Second seed pool: C9, EDG, GEN·G, MAD
First, the No. 1 seed pool draws lots to determine the division.
Nukeduck quickly drew the first two teams from the No. 1 seed pool.
RNG and DK.
These two teams are placed in the top half, which means they may meet in the semi-finals.
Next, T1 and KT were assigned to the bottom half.
Tanza started clamoring for revenge again.
KT blocked them from the finals in the LCK Summer Split, and this time they want KT to have a taste of the same.
Seeing this division, the LPL audience began to howl.
Due to the principle of avoiding the same group, EDG cannot wait in the same half zone as T1 and can only go to the top half. There is a half chance that the quarterfinals will have a civil war with RNG.
Even if they can't meet each other in the top eight, they will definitely meet in the top four if they advance.
Of course, they hope that RNG and EDG can be divided into different halves. Maybe they can each perform a one-for-two show when they meet in the finals?
That way the LPL can regain the face it lost this year.
The next draw for the No. 2 seed pool is the highlight, and will directly determine the matchup situation in the quarterfinals.
When Nukeduck opened the first ball from the second seed pool, the Chinese stream exploded.
EDG.
Civil war is coming!
EDG will face RNG in the quarterfinals.
This is the first time EDG and RNG have met on the World Championship stage after 14 years.
It's a pity that there are no pigs or dogs in the pig-dog war.
The camera lens is given to the representative players of both sides.
As a result, Lin Cheng next to Xiaohu stole the show.
Seeing EDG encountering RNG, Lin Cheng patted Xiaohu next to him on the shoulder, then pointed at Meiko opposite and said something with a smile.
He looked like he was watching the excitement and smiled brightly.
I heard you are going to have a civil war? Hahaha!
Xiaohu didn't seem to know how to react, so he smiled reluctantly.
The camera turned around and the girl opposite was also smiling.
This scene is very joyful.
Don't push me! I'll pay you back if you say you want it. Give me a few days to think about it.
Do you think it’s easy for a waste to update thousands of words a day?
