With the help of Little Peanut's arrest of Oner, Oner regained a victory. Just when the two sides were tied at 1:1 and everyone felt that the follow-up game would be very anxious, the gap between the two teams' tactical reserves began to appear.
Since the top laner could not handle Zeus' Yongen, GEN·G could only BAN Sword Demon. However, as T1 brought out the dual shooters of Varus + Ashe in the bottom lane to force the lane combination, GEN·G's BP became increasingly stretched.
Facing the changes in T1's bottom lane, GEN·G responded to the changes in the third game by remaining unchanged.
Trust Ruler!
Continue to get Luna for the bottom lane.
Then they were greeted by a massacre.
The bottom lane has no line power, the mid lane Chaowei can't beat Faker, the top lane 1v1 Dolan is also suppressed by Zeus, and GEN·G is beaten to a man-machine game.
Entering the fourth game, GEN·G stood on the edge of the cliff and selected the classic late-stage combination of Tsar + Aphelios.
They like to choose this way in the league, and they can only play this way when they are on the verge of being eliminated.
Then, this one loses faster.
The last wave of front lines was opened, and the Super Power Tsar was still below concentrating on clearing the line. After his teammates were reduced in number, he came back and put up a symbolic resistance before giving up the base.
T1 defeated GEN·G 3:1 to enter the semi-finals.
Ze Yuan witnessed the elimination of his beloved team from the Chinese stream commentary booth.
"Super Power T! Come back! Come back quickly!"
"My home is gone! What's the use of coming back now?"
"I can only say that T1 in the World Championship has something to say, and its performance was indeed outstanding."
"What did GEN·G do to prepare for the game? Basically, it is still the same as the group stage and league. BP is too rigid."
"There is a gap from the players to the training team, GEN·G does not deserve to win."
"Haha! The colonel broke the defense"
"Chaowei, come back soon! The senior colonel is anxious to death"
"The team battle super addiction is back again! It's so typical"
"Chaowei is really weird. He can't walk when he sees the soldier line. Apparently he was cured of his soldier addiction last year?"
"Last year there was Brother Chengzi! This year there is no Brother Cheng beside Chaowei. I don’t trust my teammates to be able to perform well."
"The genius mid laner who has been playing for so many years can only win against Faker one year after being led by Brother Chengzi"
"What the hell is GEN·G doing? It looks like he hasn't woken up yet."
"When it comes to disappointing people, GEN·G will never disappoint"
At the end of the game, Lin Cheng felt a little sad when he saw Peanut Butter sitting in his seat with a sad look on his face.
How high-spirited the little peanut was last year!
But it is true that GEN·G does not deserve to advance today.
GEN·G This team has a very obvious characteristic: familiarity.
The more familiar teams they face in the league, the more thoroughly they study it. Although they can't beat KT, they have become more and more comfortable playing T1 in the past two years.
However, when it comes to the World Championships, GEN·G almost always overturns early, mainly because this team has a poor ability to quickly adapt to the version.
In recent years, they have always been accustomed to playing their own way in the World Championship. Even if they seem to be following the version of the World Championship, they have become their own way again.
Unlike T1, even though they were beaten badly in the World Championships in the past two years, they have always continued to come up with things they understand.
So even if GEN·G can handle T1 in the league, when they come to the World Championship, they find that their opponents have become different.
This is the reason why the GEN·G team is always stretched out in foreign battles.
Coming to the World Championships, you need to quickly develop versions and study opponents, or you need to steal things quickly. GNE·G happens to be unable to do these things, and it does not have the strength to crush the level like KT.
It's natural to roll over.
Of course, player performance is also important.
I don’t know if it’s because Lin Cheng is no longer around, Chaowei has started to relapse, and he always doesn’t trust his teammates in key games.
November 1st is the second match day of the knockout round.
The ones competing today are JD.com and DK in the top half.
The first match between China and South Korea in the quarterfinals attracted great attention from the audiences in both regions.
After DK lost Beryl, their late-stage decision-making throughout the year was very abstract. Even if they recalled Nuguri in the summer split, their decision-making problems were still obvious, and they were still one step away from a team with a strong integrity like JD.com.
In the end, DK1:3 was defeated.
At this point, both LPL and LCK have one team each reaching the semi-finals.
November 2nd is the third match day of the knockout round.
Today is the duel between RGE and EDG. Once EDG wins, LPL will occupy at least half of the top four.
The entire KT team is still watching the game in the training room today.
"What should I say? Who are you optimistic about today?"
"EDG! There is still a gap in terms of hard power."
“RGE has no chance? Europe’s last hope.”
"The ability is a bit poor, unless the meat pigeons explode...or someone sends EDG a gift."
The players had a lively discussion before the game, and they were relatively optimistic about EDG's promotion.
Even the No. 1 seed in Europe will still be looked down upon when facing the No. 3 seed in the LPL. This has been a common practice in recent years.
Unless this No. 1 seed is G2, it may still be overestimated.
Tactics geek Beryl was very curious: "I wonder if we can see anything unique today? EDG should be a little prepared to enter the knockout round, right? You might as well give us some reference."
Lin Cheng sneered: "You expect EDG to have something? They only know how to steal! We might as well see if RGE has any tricks up our sleeves."
Mr. Dai also made a rare joke: "Why is EDG running out of stuff? What a great top laner! I had a unique skill when I was in EDG that year."
"Ha ha!"
The team members were talking and laughing, and Chi Shengxi walked in with a bag of snacks and placed the bag on the table.
“Get your own snacks!”
"Thank you, Sister Shengxi."
"Are there any turtle cookies? I miss them a bit."
A group of fools immediately gathered around to look for snacks. Chi Shengxi went to one side and prepared to turn on the camera to record the team members' daily vlog.
Lin Cheng leaned over and winked at Chi Shengxi mischievously, "Sister Shengxi, how about we make a bet?"
"What to bet on?"
"Let's bet on who will win today."
Chi Shengxi raised his eyebrows: "What are the conditions?"
"If you win, I will be your horse and cow."
"Hey! Who cares?"
Chi Shengxi looked at him funny, "What if my sister loses?"
Lin Cheng leaned into her ear and whispered: "If you lose, just let me hey hey... uh%% don't ￥@#&!"
Before he could finish his words, Chi Shengxi rubbed his cheek crazily.
"Oh!!! Sister Sheng Xi, I was wrong."
Lin Cheng quickly begged for mercy, pitifully.
Chi Shengxi let him go, "Then I guess EDG will win."
"Eh?"
Lin Cheng looked at her blankly.
Chi Shengxi glanced in the direction of the others calmly, "Do you think RGE can win? It's difficult! My sister guessed EDG anyway!"
So...sister Sheng Xi agreed to the bet?
Lin Cheng suddenly became excited, jumped up and shouted: "Yah! RGE, rush me!!!"
The teammates who were sharing snacks all turned around.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
"The sudden shouting startled me."
"Are you out of your mind?"
Lin Cheng smiled brightly and said, "Please cheer for the Meat Pigeons. Meat Pigeons are my home team today."
His teammates looked like fools.
"hurry up!"
Lin Cheng's eyes widened, and Brother Cuzz quickly raised his hand in response: "Come on RGE! Fighting!"
