Chapter 301: Smile and become one of the top eight.
After receiving such a lottery, Icon himself was dumbfounded.
The girl on the stage put a painful mask on her face.
I have criss-crossed circles. I was just joking when I said I had a dark face. Are your hopes of smuggling into Europe really gone now?
icon You are so lucky. Where do you live? Can I give you some souvenirs?
We met the Triple Crown winner in the group stage, the third seed South Korea in the quarterfinals, and the first seed Longzhu in the semifinals. The most outrageous lottery script was obtained by EDG. How can we not feel uncomfortable.
If professional players are like this, you can imagine how LPL players will collapse.
"It's over. Damn, the others are three heroes fighting Lu Bu. Do we have to go through three levels?"
"Destroy it quickly, my little country, Guodian, finally failed to win the World Championship. How can you fix this?"
"It's not enough to send away one SKT in the group stage, now there are two more on the way to the knockout stage."
Meikou's expression was just captured, and her painful look was exactly the same as that of the LPL audience.
Although the strength of RNG and WE in the first half is basically stable and guaranteed to advance, C9 and FNC are not strong. Even if the top four have a civil war, they can send a team to the finals. Now everyone is most worried about EDG.
Even though they won a lot of games this year, the Korean team's dominance in the S competition still makes players jealous.
"Is it possible that our EDG will kill SKT first, the top eight will kill Samsung, and the top four will kill Longzhu and send them home?"
"Brother, I can only say that this is the script that all LPL fans are looking forward to, but it is impossible no matter how you think about it."
When everyone in EDG saw the lottery results in the audience, their expressions were similar to those of the girls.
They had all encountered the most difficult opponents.
You really have to pass the threshold if you want to win the championship, right?
"Okay, let's not be unreasonable. In addition to Samsung being difficult to defeat, Longzhu must first deal with MSF. This is the opponent we have to consider."
"If you want to win the championship, you must win no matter who your opponent is." Qin Yu said.
"Gou Guo is right, let's keep working hard!"
…
October 15th is destined to be an unavoidable day in the history of League of Legends.
First, the Triple Crown team SKT was eliminated in the group stage.
Then Humility’s interview confirmed his reputation as a top e-sports student.
That sentence means that true maturity in life should not be about pursuing perfection, but facing one's own shortcomings. Players talked about it after the game.
Then, just when everyone was happy to face the three LPL teams qualifying first in the group, EDG drew a hell-level script in the second half.
Damn, I laughed a little too early.
The quarterfinals of the knockout rounds are finally determined.
First round.
Dragon Ball Team vs. MSF!
second round.
RNG vs. FNC!
The third game.
EDG team versus Samsung!
Game 4.
WE versus C9!
The draw is over and the knockout rounds will start on the 19th, which is next Thursday.
This kind of draw is considered a good draw for the other two teams except for EDG fans who are very emo.
Therefore, except for the news about SKT being eliminated and EDG's death half being hotly searched on Weibo, the other teams did not attract much attention.
And as we entered the quarterfinals.
The operators of LPL specially organized sparring groups to help players maintain their condition.
In the group stage, we can still find teams from different groups to play training matches. After the knockout stage, it will be really difficult for everyone to find people.
Officials specifically asked to help EDG find the best competitive state.
After all, so much publicity resources were invested in the early stage. If they were surrounded and killed by two Korean teams, the LPL would really explode.
During the offseason, not many teams are willing to take on this task. After all, they have to spare their own time, so the gap in strength cannot be too great.
After all, sparring is not about being beaten, but if you are being beaten, there are currently very few teams in the LPL that can withstand the firepower of EDG and RNG.
The task naturally fell on IG.
There is no age limit in training matches, and the Navy AD, who has been criticized by players for a long time, can finally show off his skills in training matches.
You don’t know if you don’t train.
The three LPL teams, including EDG, have basically been beaten in many games.
The three players in the top, middle and jungle are very confrontational, and with the accumulation of experience, theshy has a tendency to evolve ahead of schedule. In several training games between EDG and IG, Qin Yu found that theshy's laning was rough and thin.
Nor is he the blind and arrogant one who gave away ginger.
Ning Wang, who is the jungler during the duel, can often arrive in time. When EDG's director or Ai Luoli need to relieve the pressure on the bottom lane, Qin Yu himself suffers a lot in the top lane.
"After JackeyLove joined IG, I feel that their laning intensity in the bottom lane has gone up several levels. It's poisonous!"
Meikou reacted violently to the fact that she and Zet were hit several times, but this also made everyone calm down a lot after the group stage.
If IG's AD this year is JackeyLove, it's hard to say whether it will be the current three teams in the World Championship.
"It's a preview of the quarterfinals. Samsung's Ruler has a very strong bottom lane. We must consider that An Bixin will not go to the lane to cause trouble when we are at a disadvantage." Ming Kai expressed his opinion on the training.
They have trained with Samsung many times, and it can be said that both sides understand each other's weaknesses very well.
Among the three Korean teams, the outside world thinks that Longzhu is difficult to beat, but Mingkai thinks that the hardest one to beat is Samsung.
Dragon Ball has the strongest man brother, and EDG also has the strongest nugget Qin.
During the draw, Longzhu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw EDG, but he smiled happily when he saw that Samsung was the first to help them find out.
Longzhu knows how to call the king of the bubble tournament, so wouldn't it be nice to let Samsung force out EDG's tactical reserves and reap the benefits of being in the semi-finals?
From Longzhu's point of view, none of the teams in the upper half are a threat at all.
At least when the man drew the lots, his smile was full.
Time passes day by day.
Soon, four days later, on October 19, the League of Legends Global Finals Championship officially began.
There are four days in total, one bo5 every day.
The first day is Longzhu vs. Europe's MSF, and their EDG game is scheduled for Saturday.
"Wow, I said there wasn't much to watch in today's game. I couldn't bear to pay for the Dragon Ball or even the tactics." Mei Kuan resented being pulled up to watch the game instead of being able to rest.
Everyone believes that Longzhu can easily defeat MSF and advance to the semi-finals.
The first bo5 game was also called the least suspenseful game by the outside world.
During this period, Meikou and Zet were beaten so hard in the bottom lane that they were dizzy, and it was too late for them to practice more individually.
"Don't underestimate MSF. If Longzhu maintains the same mentality as you, they will also overturn SKT." Qin Yu said with a serious expression.
"It's impossible. After all, Longzhu is the No. 1 seed in the LCK. It's in good shape this year, and Xuanming and Xuanming in the bottom lane are not newcomers with much experience." "This year, SKT has obvious shortcomings due to the serious decline in the status of the team's players.
I think it is unlikely that Longzhu will overturn." Ming Kai couldn't believe it when he heard this.
Qin Yu didn't refute, and said faintly: "I remember that our No. 1 seed EDG turned over several times, right?"
Mingkai:……
scout:……
Suddenly it makes sense.
Starting from the quarter-finals, the attention of players has continued to increase. Except for the first game of Longzhu vs. MSF, the tickets for every other game were sold out early.
Many people act as second-hand dealers and engage in scalping business.
Although the players were heartbroken when facing thousands of tickets, they still gritted their teeth and bought it for their beloved team.
In the first game, everyone felt that they were just going through the motions, and the tickets were not very expensive. Most of the spectators came to see the strength of the top four EDG opponents.
In the official video of Khan recorded before the game, Hanzi even threatened to take the title of world's number one top laner away from Humility. He is the strongest one, telling EDG not to underestimate the enemy so as not to lose.
Samsung quarterfinals go home.
LPL players hate the arrogant man with all their heart, but there is nothing they can do about it.
I can only curse this arrogant Konishi for overturning in the quarterfinals. MSF will beat him for two more games, and it is best to send him home.
Then--
Dragon Ball has really overturned.
A shocking upset.
Before the game, everyone thought it was a bad game, Longzhu beat MSF.
Seeing the relaxed way WE beat MSF, no one would doubt that Longzhu really does whatever he wants in his own group.
Although the LCK's No. 1 seed, SKT, lost, no one dared to underestimate the Korean team. Even the No. 3 seed Samsung players left messages on Weibo asking EDG to be careful.
It may not be obvious to the senses if you just say it verbally. It may be clearer to introduce it with a classic monkey opening line.
Standing in front of MSF now is the 2017 LCK Summer Split champion, the new king of LCK, the owner of six consecutive victories in the World Championship group stage, and the leader of the pack without a single defeat. Top laner Khan, the second top laner in the world, is also known as
He is the candidate to compete with Humility to be the best top laner in the world.
One is the No. 1 seed with unlimited glory, and the other is the second seed in the group who was double beaten by WE.
One is a high-ranking young man from a rich family, and the other is a stupid young man with his hands in his pockets, as if he came from the urban-rural fringe area.
The two teams cannot be compared at all.
MSF is just a stepping stone for the man to challenge EDG.
However, when the quarterfinals began, a crazy rabbit made our five players from Xiaoxiba seem to have seen the mysterious red that their fathers talked about, beating seventeen times in a row on the three-eighth line.
rabbit.
Could it be that all rabbits have inherited genes?
That's right, Team Rabbit defeated Dragon Ball three to one.
An extremely absurd thing happened in 2017.
Everyone couldn't believe it, but it just happened.
This result shocked domestic audiences.
In the first game, Longzhu relied on its personal strength to really crush MSF, and the battle ended in 21 minutes.
But when the female tank with war zeal appeared in the bottom lane in the second game, Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming were beaten into Xuan Ming Er Lao.
Guan Zeyuan's words about the huge gap in hard power between MSF and SKT made not only LPL players aware of this poisonous devil, but it even had a tendency to spread to the outside world.
Is the second team in the group so awesome?
MSF was a sandbag in the group stage and was bullied to death by WE. Even if the Lightning Huskies didn't commit suicide, MSF wouldn't even be able to advance out of the group.
It was just such a team that killed the favorite to win the championship.
Longzhu: That year I thought I met a novice.
msf: That year I put my hands in my pockets and bit my opponent to death.
