When coming down from the commentator's seat, Wang Duoduo noticed that Guan Zeyuan seemed to be in a daze, and immediately waved his hand in front of him, and at the same time said comfortingly: "There is indeed something wrong with GEN's state, but they have always been slow to warm up. You
…”
"I'm fine, I'm actually fine."
Guan Zeyuan shook his head.
He has to be strong.
Even if his two favorite players, Crown and Ruler, performed really well...
All he could do was to pray for the two players silently in his heart after he stepped down, hoping that the two players could reverse the decline and perform well after this.
…
"As a bastard, I am in tears today."
"Trivia, this is the first time EDG has defeated the Korean team in the group stage of the S series."
"I have one thing to say: I thought that after Brother Luo arrived, EDG's S-game would not be like previous seasons, but I really didn't expect that I would shave my head for the Korean team in the first game."
"I wonder how powerful GEN is in the bubble match. This is it."
"I say Emperor Chi takes the blame, who is in favor and who is against?"
The grumpy old guys in Tieba were all blown away as the game ended.
And all the prediction posts before the game were dug up without exception.
Most of the people whose graves were dug up have already pretended to be dead, and only a few posters are still being stubborn.
For example, the post is titled "After a year of training, Emperor Chi feels that he has completed his sublimation before the S game. Let's discuss rationally. Even if Brother Luo is stronger, Emperor Chi and Brother Luo can still reach a 46-open situation."
When the poster was bombarded with a lot of questions after the game, he calmly responded with a few words.
"What I said is correct. The Chi Emperor and Luo Ge split four and six times. The Chi Emperor split six times in four minutes. Is there anything wrong with it?"
In addition to the standard army of question marks below his reply, other netizens also expressed their most sincere condolences.
Little did they know that the situation on the Korean forum at this time was already uncontrollable.
0/2 start.
This is the first time in the history of S competition!
Memories that many Korean netizens had forgotten gradually emerged.
In the S3 World Championship, there was a Korean team that failed to qualify in the group stage.
And the name of that team is Ozone.
It is also a team of Three Galaxy, and Ozone's adc player at that time was also the famous mouse champion skin owner of the white team in the S4 season imp.
Then the question comes, Ozone is also a three-star system.
Comes from the same lineage as the GEN in front of me.
Could it be...
In short, Korean netizens couldn’t stand it any longer.
The E-Sports Association even called GEN directly and asked GEN what was going on.
It's okay to lose to EDG. Although the loss is indeed a bit ugly, it is not difficult to see from their performance today that they should not have high hopes for them when they play EDG.
But losing to VIT before was really inappropriate, right?
If you lose again, you will really have to live your life depending on the person's face.
Layers of pressure finally fell on Edgar's head. Edgar also understood the seriousness of the current situation. He did not tell the players about the news. At the same time, he confiscated all the players' mobile phones and prohibited the players from browsing relevant forums.
and news.
The purpose of this is to reduce the pressure on the players.
Edgar could clearly feel that the players' mentality was on the verge of exploding at this moment.
In contrast, EDG is very laid-back.
As the saying goes, this time and that time.
Although EDG used to enter the World Championship as the No. 1 seed, they are no longer what they used to be.
Soon, the third day of competition came.
EDG will face VIT, the dark horse in the group.
As the impression of this team gradually became clearer in his mind, Li Luo quickly found a way to deal with it.
The players in VIT have very good personal abilities.
But their teamwork is always flawed.
Excellent tactics, good ability to adapt to the version, and the strong personal abilities of the players make VIT what it is now.
VIT clearly took the initiative in the middle and early stages when facing GEN, and VIT's mid laner JIIZUKE steadily suppressed the twilight crown brother.
But it is a pity that the junior brother is not the crown brother.
At this time, the junior student is not only at the peak of his competitive age, but his competitive status is also impeccable.
VIT's mid laner wants to compete with his younger brother in terms of operation, but he is obviously thinking too much.
It's still a battle between Syndra and Ekko.
But Syndra, who is a junior, is on a par with Brother Crown when it comes to fighting.
In addition, Li Luo took the initiative to take out the hero Delaiwen in the bottom lane, which made VIT's adc suspect that their tactics had been leaked.
Because VIT's adc players also prepared a hand with Delaiwen, their original plan was to release Kai'Sa to Li Luo, and when Li Luo got Kai'Sa, he would use Delaiwen to counterattack.
Who would have thought that Li Luo would take the initiative to choose the non-mainstream Delaiwen as the bottom lane when Kai'Sa was available.
This caused VIT's adc to reluctantly choose Kai'Sa.
The opposition between the two sides in the early BP stage left him with only Kai'Sa as his choice.
The results speak for themselves.
EDG relied on the powerful combination of Thresh and Draven in the bottom lane to defeat VIT's bottom lane duo with the purest hard power.
VIT's mid laner JIIZUKE tried to control the junior player, but was counterattacked by the more experienced junior junior player. He completed the single kill in the middle with less than 50 health points left.
VIT's top lane was also very anxious, but what he encountered was Jin Gong who was least anxious.
In addition, EDG's jungler in this game is a scheming factory director. The factory director, who likes to play at a slow pace, relies on the online advantages established by his teammates to put pressure on his opponents from the jungle step by step.
Li Luo had to admit that Ming Kai seemed to have the mentality of an old monster.
In fact, Mingkai did have certain psychological problems when he played in the S game.
It seems that it is caused by the shadow left by the past. Before Mingkai takes the field, he will subconsciously give himself the thought that "maybe unfavorable".
This also caused him to be really timid in the middle and early stages of the game.
Fortunately, the environment given to the team was as familiar as before. After fifteen minutes of game time, Mingkai's condition obviously began to improve.
When Abu in the background saw this, he loosened his grip on the notebook slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
No one knows Mingkai better than Abu.
Abu has always sincerely hoped that Mingkai could overcome the curse in his heart.
Abramovich also knows clearly that Mingkai often feels deeply guilty for his poor performance in world championships.
But there is no use blaming yourself.
The day Mingkai cannot prove himself on the stage of the World Championship will be the day he cannot get his own forgiveness deep in his heart.
For a professional player like him who has been playing for such a long time, the impact of the public opinion of the audience on Ming Kai is actually very small.
What he really desires is to achieve a breakthrough from his own heart.
Perhaps nothing can be seen from this first round.
But Abu has a vague feeling that after this World Championship, no matter what the final result is, Mingkai will have a great chance to complete his transformation!
VIT and EDG completed a thirty-three-minute game performance.
The head ratio between the two sides ended up being 18 to 7.
Li Luo beheaded twelve heads alone.
Of course, Li Luo also died twice. As a German, it is indeed easier to die once he is targeted by five opponents in a team battle.
Even so, Li Luo's KDA still beats all adcs in the S competition so far, and all data are far ahead on the list.
It is worth mentioning that GEN finally won its first victory on its third day.
They defeated MAD with a huge score and reduced MAD's record to 0/3.
This victory gave Edgar mixed feelings.
The good news is that they still control the fate of qualifying in their own hands.
As long as they win three consecutive games in the next second round of the group stage, they will be able to enter the quarterfinals with their heads held high.
But there are too many places to worry about.
The first is the question of whether we can win three consecutive games in the second round.
If you want to win three consecutive games, you must overcome the mountain of EDG.
In this duel with MAD, Edgar discovered a fatal problem.
That is, their condition has not substantially improved compared to the previous two days.
But the process and results of the game went very smoothly.
What does this mean?
It shows that the level of MAD has been eliminated by Group A.
They have a serious gap in level with the remaining three teams in Group A.
The first two days were not about them at all. GE, these two teams were very strong in their own right.
If this is the case, then I am afraid that GEN will still be in a tough battle in the second round of the group stage.
In comparison, the results of other LCK brothers are pretty good.
After everyone in EDG took a short break for two days, the first round of the group stage of the four groups came to an end.
In Group A, the EDG team leads the team perfectly with a 3/0 victory record.
VIT, in second place, follows closely behind with a record of 2/1.
The third place GEN1/2 is not ideal.
The fourth-place MAD is 0/3 and is now on the verge of elimination.
In Group B, KT currently maintains a complete victory, leading 3/0.
The second place RNG 2/1, they unfortunately lost to KT in the first round, but they defeated TL and GRX in a relatively relaxed state.
TL and GRX are ranked third and fourth respectively, and their records are exactly the same as GEN and MAD in Group A.
Group C is very interesting.
The AFS team from South Korea lost to G2 in the first round of the group stage and defeated the other two teams, so it has a 2/1 record.
FW lost to AFS, defeated G2 and 100T, and currently has a record of 2/1.
G2 lost to FW and defeated AFS and 100T, also with a 2/1 record.
It can be said that except for 0/3 of 100t, the strength of this group is particularly average.
Group D is relatively anxious. IG won three consecutive victories in the first round and took the lead with a record of 3/0.
C9 ranked second as always, 2/1, and only lost one game to IG.
FNC only won one victory in the first round, and the 1/2 record was not very good.
PVB ranks last, 0/3.
Except for Group C, the conditions of the other three groups are pretty much the same.
But all the major teams know it.
In the S-match group stage, the real fate is often determined by the second round, not the first round.
They were in good shape in the first round, but in the second round there were too many teams that failed.
After all, the second round is conducted according to groups. Four groups play for four days to directly determine all the top eight places.
This means that each team must play at least three games a day.
During the offseason from the first round of the group stage to the second round of the group stage, whether the teams can gain a new understanding of the version and whether they can improve some of the problems encountered in the first round will determine whether some teams can succeed in the game.
The key point to complete the counterattack in the second round.
The GEN team even made a pledge after defeating MAD in the first round, showing all fans that they would perform well in the second round.
After Busan experienced a heavy rain, the second round of collisions in the group stage kicked off.
The first to start the battle is Group B.
This day's game made countless LPL fans and fans of the RNG team do sit-ups non-stop.
The first was a thrilling showdown between RNG and TL. The two sides fought for more than fifty minutes. In the end, RNG successfully found a wave of opportunities for Uzi to complete the harvest.
Immediately afterwards, RNG defeated KT in the last game of the second round, playing a scene in the library that silenced the entire audience.
Domestic fans are naturally excited about it.
But your life depends on this.
KT and RNG started the playoff between them with both 5/1 records.
But in this extra match, RNG lost.
The time to watch this game in China has already reached around midnight.
The audience who stayed up until midnight were expecting to see RNG counterattack and take first place in the group, but in the end they still lost.
Although regret is a common thing for e-sports, in a sense, it is not easy for RNG to give itself a chance to play in the playoffs.
But this feeling of giving people hope but disappointing them still makes fans extremely uncomfortable.
KT and RNG became the first and second teams to enter the quarterfinals.
After that, the IG of Group D also arranged a wave of sit-ups for the audience.
IG didn't play very well in the second round of the group stage.
They lost to FNC and C9 in the second round. Fortunately, in the second round, FNC counterattacked and exploded, destroying the C9 team and raising their own score. This allowed three 4/2 teams to appear in Group D.
team.
After two additional games, IG fans were quite happy, at least the result was good. In the end, IG won first place in the group stage and successfully qualified with FNC, which exploded in the second round.
In Group C, AFS won the first place in the group stage with 5/1, and G2 ranked second. FW was invincible in the first half of the classic classic, but was defeated in the second half and was completely eliminated by G2.
Only the Group A matchup was placed on the last day of the group stage.
This arrangement by the competition organizing committee is actually a bit tricky.
After all, Group A is actually the first team to start the first round, and it is also the first to finish.
Calculating the rest time between the first and second rounds, plus their rest time on the schedule, the teams in Group A have rested for a long, long time.
This is almost equivalent to giving GEN a little more time to train and adjust.
After all, the Koreans still have great trust in their coaching staff. They feel that as long as they have time, GEN will be able to understand the version more deeply and be more likely to perform better in the second round.
However...GEN's mentality cracked in the first matchup of the second round.
VIT.
It's VIT again.
VIT's trick was to re-cast Kai'Sa, targeting other adcs.
They tried to use this trick against EDG in the first round, but EDG saw through it.
The reason why EDG found out was actually not that Li Luo suddenly wanted to choose De Laiwen.
But Li Luo was very familiar with a match between VIT and GEN in his memory. In that game, VIT's bottom lane used Devin to fight Kai'Sa, who was the King of Rulers, and then relied on the help of his teammates to gain a laning advantage.
So to be on the safe side, Li Luo told Abu that he wanted to play German.
The tactics that VIT was holding back did not come out, and now they are naturally used on GEN.
No surprise, GEN, that's it.
They started with a 1/2 record and instantly became a 1/3.
This means that as long as VIT wins 4 games, they will lose the chance to play in the playoffs.
Ever since, GEN has pinned its hopes on MAD.
Judging from the normal situation in previous years, teams that have no hope of qualifying will put down their psychological burdens, transform into water ghosts without any psychological pressure, and pull other people in the group to dismount.
But MAD directly told GEN...
Sorry, they messed up.
Since we can’t get out of the line anyway, why not treat it as a trip?
It's impossible to work hard. Since the only person you, GEN, can win is me, then as little people, we can just go with the flow...
Of course, it could also be real food.
In the backstage lounge, when he saw VIT completely beating MAD and even shaving MAD's head, Edgar felt dizzy and sat down on the chair.
them……
No chance at all.
GEN will also become the second Korean team in the history of the S tournament to be eliminated in the group stage.
