Chapter 621 Old Gan Daddy's Adventure in the Play-In Tournament
When he started playing training matches, Lin Cheng had much less time to rank, but he still gained points quickly due to his extremely high winning rate.
After a week, Lin Cheng managed to break through 1100 points even though he only played a few games every day, ranking among the top 50 at the top of the canyon.
However, there is still a long way to go before reaching the top, because Huya anchor Sally, who is number one in the canyon, has a score of 2000, which she only achieved recently.
A 1,700-point champion in the Korean server is already considered the ceiling. Lin Cheng was a little surprised to find a 2,000-point champion at the top of the canyon.
Lin Cheng knows how disgusting the compensation mechanism is when the score is high. He loses twice as many points when he loses in the Korean server as when he wins. It is probably the same at the top of the canyon.
On September 25, the S10 qualifying stage begins.
There was nothing going on with KT at this stage, but the training match ended early, and Lin Cheng was bored in the room and prepared to watch the game.
Just like in the training games, although the wild card team is very weak, there may be some cool things that can surprise people.
It is also because many wild card teams know that they are not strong enough and will try their best to come up with something that the strong teams have not seen before.
With this idea in mind, Lin Cheng didn't expect that the first person to surprise the LPL audience would be the godfather.
The fourth seed in Europe had a tough battle with the Brazilian team in the first game, and it was very difficult to win the match. The LPL audience was laughing at them.
Unexpectedly, the old godfather who just laughed at the European gangsters and appeared later actually lost to PSG in the first game.
Although PSG was not a loser in the qualifying round, it only got two kills in the game. Is it a bit too much to be beaten with 2-16 kills?
Lao Gan Daddy is the fourth seed in the LPL!
The world champions IG and FPX in the past two years did not go to the World Championship, so your godfather went to the World Championship to give me this?
You must know that PSG has three players who have not yet finished their quarantine due to visa issues, so the midfielder on the PSG field is a player on loan from AHQ, another PCS team.
However, Riot Games stipulates that a maximum of two players can be rented from other teams in the same division, and their AD position players are also unable to play.
There is no other way, PSG can only let the 26-year-old team coach temporarily replace him. This coach retired and has not played a game for more than a year.
The LPL audience was really disappointed that Lao Gan Daddy was beaten so hard by a team that had only been together for less than two weeks.
When the game ended, the barrage in the official live broadcast room exploded.
"Damn it! A good start! You really have your godfather."
"Outrageous! How did the old godfather get out of the LPL when he could be beaten by a cobbled-together team?"
"That's it? That's it, winning the top four?"
"Xila laughs at me."
"Little peanuts? Small batches of peanuts!"
"For the game in Shanghai, Hangzhou Godfather has not adjusted to the time difference. Please understand."
"Lao Gan Daddy is the rookie station!"
"Why not give up your spot to IG?"
······
To be honest, it was surprising enough that the old godfather lost to the patchwork PSG, but I didn’t expect that there would be an even bigger surprise to come the next day.
On September 26, on the second day of the qualifying round, Lao Ganba went through a fierce battle for 40 minutes, and finally lost to the Latin American team by one move.
If we lost to PSG yesterday and it can be said that our opponent has some strength after all, then losing to a Latin American team is really unjustifiable.
And it wasn’t a game that was ruined by player mistakes. Throughout the whole process, Lao Ganba was inextricably linked with his opponent, and he didn’t have any advantage. People who didn’t know the team name thought it was V5 going to the World Championship.
The speed with which Lao Gan Daddy integrated into the wild card division was unexpected.
Domestic fans of the Optimistic Family are no longer optimistic.
This is different from what was promised!
Didn't you say that it was a shark that broke into the small fish pond? Why didn't the old godfather kill the wild cards randomly?
European audiences are still in the mood to laugh at Godfather, but the European fourth seed MAD on the other side is not having an easier time than Godfather.
After a difficult victory over their opponents in the opening game, MAD was severely beaten by North America's third seed TL, and then in the following game today, it overturned in front of the Turkish team SUP led by Kakao.
One is 0-2, the other is 1-2, and the qualifying situation for the fourth seeds in the two major regions is in danger.
After all, there are only four games in the group stage of the qualifying round, and both teams are currently at the bottom.
In the third match day on the 27th, Lao Ganba finally stood up in the eyes of countless domestic audiences who were either expecting or ridiculing. He decisively defeated V3 from the Japanese division and won his first victory in the qualifying round.
Countless LPL viewers breathed a sigh of relief.
The godfather has finally found his form!
As a result, they were only happy for two hours. The Laogandaddy had just stood up and his knees were broken by UOL, the boss of the CIS region. UOL dealt a heavy blow to Laogandad and almost ended up in the Zero Dragon Tower game.
The LPL audience couldn't hold back.
After defeating the Japanese team just now, I thought LGD had bottomed out and rebounded, but I didn't expect that it was a comeback.
In this way, after four games in the group stage, Lao Gan Daddy finished last with a record of 1-3.
The old godfather single-handedly woke up the LPL audience who were shouting to win the semi-finals before the game.
This script looks a bit familiar.
It's your godfather again! The team is beaten up again!
What's even more outrageous is that this is still the finals.
Damn! You’re not dreaming about going back to S5, are you?
Of course, the game is not over yet, and the old godfather has not been eliminated yet.
V3, who is ranked ahead of Lao Gan Daddy, currently has a record of 1-2. If V3 defeats PSG later, Lao Gan Daddy will be directly eliminated.
Fortunately, PSG's big brother didn't give in. He defeated V3 neatly and let the two teams share the same points, giving the old godfather a chance to play in the playoffs.
Lao Gan Daddy finally seized the opportunity in the playoffs and defeated V3 to win the chance to play in the 5 knockout rounds.
There were five teams in a group in the qualifying round, but after the group stage, the only wild card team that Lao Gan Dad defeated was actually V3 from Japan. This was something no one expected before the game.
If it hadn't been for the opportunity given by V3 and PSG's last move, the old godfather would have really drowned in the wild card group stage.
The LPL audience was disappointed by what happened to Lao Gan Daddy, and what happened to MAD on the fourth match day also left European audiences in no mood to laugh at Lao Gan Daddy.
The record of the Madrid Lions in the group stage was exactly the same as that of LGD, both with 1 win and 3 losses. Fortunately, MAD also managed to survive in the extra rounds.
However, the performance of the two sides in the knockout stage was very different.
LGD finally woke up and regained their form, defeating their opponents in two consecutive waves of 5 and successfully escaping from the playoffs.
MAD, on the other hand, didn't quite live up to expectations. They were defeated by SUP in the first round of Wave 5, so they were given a ticket back to Spain.
This is also the first team from the four major regions to be eliminated in the play-in stage. No team from the four major regions has ever been eliminated in the play-in stage before. They made history!
Of course, even if LGD successfully entered the group stage, it did not receive good looks from the audience.
I asked you to test the water in the finals, but you almost drowned when you stepped on the horse.
