Chapter 640 Several families are happy and some are sad
The first round of matches was completed on October 6. In the end, only two teams in the four groups, KT and Topball, maintained a 3-0 victory record.
The current form of Group A is relatively balanced. G2 and SN are tied with a record of 2-1, while TL and MCX are one position behind with a record of 2-1. It seems that everyone has a chance to qualify.
Suning, the third seed in the LPL, had a bad start and faced last year's world runner-up G2.
But as a team participating in the World Championship for the first time, Suning played extremely tenaciously against G2, and even played a 0-for-5 classic against Shuangyonghui, allowing the audience to see the full resilience of this team.
Although they lost the first game, SN clearly showed their adaptability to the world stage in the subsequent games, and more viewers began to look forward to SN's subsequent performance.
The situation in Group B appears to be clearly strong and weak.
KT tops the list with a 3-0 record.
Although JD.com, the second seed in the LPL, was beaten by KT in the first game, it regained its momentum and won two consecutive games to end the first round with a 2-1 record.
RGE maintained EU's dignity with a score of 1-2.
PSG was miserable at the bottom with 0-3.
The four teams have successively reduced wins, which perfectly fits the assessment of the strength of each team in this group.
At the end of the qualifying round, PSG's top laner Hana Bi was interviewed and said happily: They can defeat the fourth seed of the LPL and can also defeat other strong teams. The LCK and LPL are not as strong as imagined.
However, reality slapped him in the face.
It’s not that the LPL and LCK teams are not strong.
It’s the old godfather who’s acting!
If the appearance of Group B is relatively clear, then Group C appears to be confusing.
The group of death is never because the opponent is too strong, but because the strength between the teams is too average.
Except for the NA team, which is 0-3 on a daily basis, GEN·G, FNC, and LGD are all tied with a record of 2-1. No one dares to say that they are sure to defeat their opponents.
It's only been one round, but the flavor of the group of death is already strong. Now all teams in Group C can have a huge impact on the form of this group.
Including TSM.
Whenever the other three teams lose points to TSM, the situation is not good.
Moreover, TSM is the No. 1 seed in NA and has many years of experience in the top 16. This time they team up with old Dean Bilson. In the second round, TSM may not know which team they will drag into the water.
As the fourth seed in the LPL, Lao Gan Daddy had an eye-catching performance at the bottom of the playoffs. Now everyone is very satisfied with their performance in the group of death.
Unlike the LPL players who all rallied against Lao Gandaddy during the playoffs, now many viewers have begun to encourage Lao Gandad.
Although the barrages such as "Drunkard Peanut" and "Xila Laugh at Me" are still all over the screen, there are more cheering barrages.
Apart from Little Peanut still looking like a ghost, Xiye's state was actually very good in the group stage.
Although Lang Bao, who has been criticized all the time, is still far behind the top top laners, compared to his European friends Bwipo and Yong E Flash Broken Sword Brother, Lang Xing can be considered a person.
Although Mark from Lao Gan Daddy is often criticized for his poor mentality, and when he is at a disadvantage, he sends random messages as if he wants to get off work, but at least compared to the high-spirited messages...
Hmm~ Hi Lisang, although he may not look like a human being, but his current performance is indeed much better than Mark's.
But Mark is not useless.
At least the game can't be launched without him.
Of course, the format of Group C seems to be very close, but for Lao Gandad, it seems that the format of the group stage is not as exciting as the finals.
Finally, the format of Group D is exactly the same as Group B.
Taobo 3-0
DWG2-1
FLY1-2
UOL0-3
The No. 1 seed Taobao has basically locked in a qualifying spot by steadily scoring three points. It is getting closer and closer to the goal that Knight said before the group stage, "reaching the semi-finals will count as success."
Before the game, the only opponent that Taobao fans were worried about was DWG. Since they have defeated DWG once, they have enough confidence to meet again.
After all, FLY and UOL are obviously weaker by more than one level. If they want to take points from Taobo in the second round, they can only hope that Taobo will possess the cat ball at the same time.
Generally speaking, after the first round of the group stage, some teams were happy and some were sad.
The LPL is calculating the probability of four seeds advancing at the same time.
LCK has begun to pray for a good grouping situation in the next knockout rounds.
EU is still laughing at NA for cheating.
NA can already start preparing group purchases for air tickets back to North America.
There is a two-day break between the two rounds of group matches. KT's second round will start on October 9. At that time, all games in Group B will be played within one day to determine the two qualifying places for Group B.
On October 7th, there was no training match scheduled for this afternoon. The entire KT team gathered together in a separate conference room in the hotel to review the tactics of the group stage.
In fact, there was nothing easy to review in KT's game. The main reason was that Kang Dongxun found the shortcomings of the previous team and gave some pointers to the relevant players.
This kind of review is mainly at the tactical level. The coach will not say what is wrong with the opponent's operation. He will only review the overall situation and tell the players how to make choices and where they need to improve their vision and command.
Among them, the layout of the field of vision has always been the focus of the KT coaching staff.
There are particularities in where and when to place your vision when facing different opponents. The help of excellent vision control to KT's operational level is difficult to describe intuitively but extremely huge.
After the simple review, a group of fools shared their feelings and interesting stories about their time in Shanghai in the conference room.
"Hey! I heard that Zhang Yongzhun and his gang actually mixed shower gel and laundry detergent. It's so funny."
Speaking of this, a group of guys all found it very interesting.
Lin Cheng laughed: "I watched it too. Those guys can't understand Chinese, and they can't even understand English. Illiteracy is terrible."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
"What's wrong? Why don't you speak?"
Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh~ I'm sorry, I forgot that you can't read English either, tsk tsk! English has been taught since elementary school, right? None of you have studied well since elementary school.
?”
Pantro looked serious, "Lin Cheng."
"Um?"
"What is the thing you hate eating the most?"
"Durian, I feel like vomiting when I hear this question."
"Very good, I'll treat you to snacks later."
"What snack?"
"durian."
Lin Cheng: "·····"
Some people think durian smells bad but tastes good, and some people think durian smells bad and tastes bad.
Lin Cheng is one of those people who can't get used to the taste of durian.
But after offending the masses, Lin Cheng could only take a piece of durian and gnaw it happily.
But then I thought about it, durian is quite expensive.
Panro treated him to durian at his own expense, how could he refuse his teammates' kindness?
Lin Cheng was also a ruthless person. He thought about it instantly and then crazily stuffed durian into his mouth while holding his neck.
"Li Shiheng."
"Um?"
"I want to eat durian, you continue to treat me."
Pants ro: "·····"
Damn it! Is there something wrong with this person?
