Chapter 178 The inevitable... civil war! [First update, more]
Defeating H2K is just the beginning. In such a group, K1 will be considered a failure if they don't take first place in the group.
C9's World Championship is a bit mysterious. Although it seems to be terrible in North America every year, it can still qualify.
But talking about metaphysics is false. At least K1’s quota cannot be squeezed out by C9.
With the first round of the group stage completed, K1 showed great dominance and was invincible in the same group, with no opponents at all.
However, K1 is not the only team like this.
The Korean team is equally dazzling.
In terms of BO1, the Korean team is much more stable than the LPL.
Whether it's ROX TIGER, SKT, or SSG, their performance in the group stage is still appalling.
Although the status of the two teams EDG and RNG has gradually improved, no one knows what the outcome of the second round of confrontation will be.
Especially when EDG lost to the Brazilian team, it was a bit exaggerated.
Under such circumstances, K1's training not only did not stagnate, but intensified.
The famous lazy dog Ah Shui gave instructions in this regard: Training every day will make me numb!
But complaining is complaining. Do you want to stop training?
Xu Ruoguang laughed, do you dare to try my words?
"Let us congratulate K1 for winning again!"
On October 10th, the second round of K1’s group stage begins!
There are no waves. With K1’s personal ability and operational compactness, and the current group B’s crooked talents, it’s still a bit too difficult to break through K1.
But KKoma was not happy because his tactics failed.
Who is K1 playing games for now?
For the Korean team to see.
Using BP and rhythm, the intention is to distort the Korean team’s understanding of the version.
Unfortunately, the Korean team was not fooled.
They are not like the LPL coaching team, who have their own version of understanding.
Just because you K1 can win in this way doesn't mean we can win in this way.
They understand this very clearly.
Although LPL is not worth mentioning in the eyes of European and American event media, SKT, which has already lost to K1, will not underestimate K1.
"never mind."
KKoma looked at the players coming down from the stage and gave up the idea in his heart.
"It doesn't matter if you can't mislead, just use your strength."
"Brother, have you seen my Jace? Is he strong enough today?"
Xu Ruoguang started claiming credit as soon as he came on stage.
This time, although his Jace was also targeted in the early stage, it could only temporarily suppress his development.
Xu Ruoguang's ability to steal development is beyond what his opponents can imagine.
In the mid-game, an inexplicable two-piece Jace took over the team, and everyone on the other side was stunned.
Where did you get this growth? Is it open?
Xu Ruoguang wanted to laugh, but it didn't mean he was smiling.
"Do you still need praise? Isn't it enough that I am willing to come to LPL with you?"
kkoma didn’t say how much he liked Xu Ruoguang, he just smiled lightly.
Xu Ruoguang was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said with a smile, "That's right."
For KKoma, there are obviously so many choices.
His willingness to come to LPL is a recognition of Xu Ruoguang.
“Live up to expectations.”
Scout rubbed his arms to relax and said to KKoma with a smile.
"I've seen it all, and my performance is getting better and better, Rucan."
"You have become a unique mid laner."
kkoma nodded in approval.
In such a tight but loose atmosphere, K1's group stage began to move forward steadily.
Although everyone knows that after S6 is completed, it is still a matter of suspense whether K1 can exist again.
Although everyone knows that after S6 is over, they may no longer be able to fight for S7 together.
But, so what?
Fireworks fly into the sky just for the dazzling moment.
As for the fall after burning, who cares?
Life is like this, the process is sometimes more important than the result.
Victory, victory, victory!
K1 stopped pretending and started beating the children.
AHQ?H2K?C9?
Sorry, you are no match for us.
Even if the opponent tried his best, he still couldn't last thirty minutes against K1.
In the second round of the group stage, K1's dominance was fully demonstrated.
The average game time is twenty-eight minutes per game, and the economic lead is four thousand in fifteen minutes per game.
It became more and more exaggerated, Xu Ruoguang was almost close to every single kill...
All of them illustrate the strength of K1.
This is an era in which the average game duration is more than thirty-five minutes!
“The era of K1’s dominance is coming?! LCK is in danger!?”
This is the first time Korean media has used such a slogan.
In the past, they had no regard for LPL teams at all.
However, K1's performance was a bit harsh, and even the Korean media who had always been aloof could not help but murmur in their hearts.
Is it possible that K1 is really powerful?
However, fortunately, in the second round, there were people in EDG and RNG who pulled their hips again.
This time, it's RNG.
Since EDG started training matches with K1, their performance has been getting better and better. They directly defeated FW twice and firmly grasped the already slim chance of qualifying in their own hands.
However, RNG has a big problem.
SSG made adjustments and began to focus on the midfield and upper jungle. RNG only had the same lineup, and after playing a training match with the Korean team, they stupidly exposed the entire system.
In the second round, I faced SSG and was directly defeated.
The No. 1 seed that was originally a sure thing was suddenly lost to them.
On the contrary, EDG faced SKT in the second round. Although they still lost, the game was dragged out for more than 40 minutes.
If SKT hadn't been able to find opportunities when they were at a disadvantage, they would have been almost overthrown by EDG.
With the end of the group stage, K1 is the first seed and RNG and EDG are the second seeds.
The Korean media breathed a sigh of relief.
fine.
Their LCK has three No. 1 seeds qualifying!
With this advantage, how could Feilongqian lose?
It seems that only K1 has the strength to compete for the championship, and the other LPL teams are just useless.
This time, LPL viewers also have different expectations for the next quarterfinals.
"All three teams have reached the knockout rounds. Is this the most promising year for the LPL?"
"RNG and EDG are still almost incompatible. In the end, we still have to look at K1!"
"Don't speak too early. I breastfeed K1 every day. It will be fun if K1 is eliminated in the quarterfinals."
"Nmd fart, my K1 will be in the top eight and sixteen?"
"To be honest, I always feel that Koreans will serve their country loyally."
"LPL is not a Chinese competition region. Don't talk about what is there and what is not. If Huang Za wants to scold other teams, just scold them. Oh, no, your senior assistant seems to be Korean too, haha."
Xu Ruoguang never expressed any opinions on such remarks.
Whether it's strong or weak, you'll know after you fight it.
Improve yourself and be stronger than anything else.
At this time, K1 has gathered together and is preparing to watch the draw of the next quarter-finals.
Draw for the quarter-finals.
This thing has been a very eye-catching thing since ancient times.
The famous second laugh also came from this time.
In the spacious living room, the entire K1 team stared at the screen intently.
"Who will draw lots today?"
Ah Shui asked curiously.
"I don't know, I'd probably rather smile at them, right?"
Xu Ruoguang was also a little unsure. Where had he paid attention to this?
With the smile of the bearded host, the draw officially began.
"Brother Guang, what will happen if we draw an LPL team?"
Hirano Aya suddenly thought of a question.
Xu Ruoguang looked at him strangely,
"What else can we do? Try to advance."
"Won't you get scolded? What if you don't win the championship?"
Hirano Aya looked a little worried.
He had seen that kind of scene before. He had a civil war in the World Championship and then defeated the team from the same division. As a result, he did not play in the finals and was directly cursed when the plane back home crashed.
"You might as well speak more clearly."
godv held the snacks and said maliciously.
"Didn't I already tell you that OMG fans cursed the royal plane for crashing?"
Hirano Aya scratched her head.
"You still don't surf the Internet too much, Brother Ping."
Ah Shui said with a smile,
"I understand this matter. Many people said it during the live broadcast."
"What do you say?"
"At that time, four of the four teams advanced to two in the S3 qualifiers, and the Royal Family played PE."
Ah Shui chuckled and said,
"If the Royal Family wins PE, then WE will still have a chance to enter the World Championship."
"As a result, the royal family has never played PE."
"WE fans were upset. They thought Royal Family did it on purpose because they didn't want WE to go to the World Championships, and then they directly cursed Royal Family for the plane crash."
"Later on, the Royal Family defeated OMG in the World Championship. OMG fans were also unhappy. WE fans took advantage of the situation and fanned the flames, and finally put the blame on OMG fans."
Hirano Aya was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Ghost."
Send a heartfelt sigh.
Xu Ruoguang also understood a little bit and said silently.
"Ah Shui, if you could be as good at surfing as you are at training, you would be the number one AD in the LPL by now."
"That's a matter between 60E and 59E. Let's stay out of it."
Pressure value +10!
Ah Shui:?What are you doing?
"Besides, even if we draw EDG or RNG, we still have to win."
Xu Ruoguang said calmly,
"Who told them not to get the No. 1 seed? Did we force them to get the No. 2 seed?"
"If you don't live up to your expectations, don't blame the draw."
"Moreover, when I come to the World Championships, I have to be determined to defeat all opponents."
"Afraid? If you're afraid, don't play in the World Championships."
Ah Shui thought about it and nodded in approval.
This is true.
If you get the second seed, it will be easy for you to have a civil war. If you don't want to have a civil war, you will win.
You can't win yourself, so you blame someone else's team for winning the No. 1 seed, leading to a civil war. Is this reasonable?
The drawing of lots has begun.
The qualifying teams from the four groups are as follows:
Group A:ROX TIGER,G2.
Group B:KING ONE,C9.
Group C: SSG, RNG.
Group D: SKT, EDG.
The bearded host looked at the note in his hand with a smile on his face.
"SSG!"
"Samsung, I really want to beat them. I heard that Ruler is one of the strongest ADs in the world right now."
Ah Shui showed excited eyes.
"Give up, it's impossible, they are also the No. 1 seed this round."
Scout complained mercilessly.
"Maybe there is a chance? Draw us into the top half!"
Ah Shui had a different idea.
After the knockout rounds, it will be divided into two halves.
The top eight players from Group A and Group B will compete in the semi-finals, and the winning team will advance to the finals.
The same goes for Group C and Group D.
Xu Ruoguang smiled, "Bozi, have you ever thought that if EDG or RNG were drawn into the Samsung group, you would be acquiescing that they would be eliminated?"
Ah Shui was anxious, "Brother Guang, I am loyal to LPL, don't provoke!"
Xu Ruoguang chuckled and stopped talking.
The bearded host then took out the note and turned it over.
"SKT!"
he shouted loudly.
"It's a pity that the top four could just kill SKT."
Scout is a little sorry.
He doesn't have any deep hatred for SKT, but he just wants to crush SKT.
reason?
Is it enough to prove who is SKT’s strongest mid laner?
kkoma sat next to him and patted his shoulder calmly.
"There will be a chance."
In fact, Scout is not the only one who wants to crush SKT. Why doesn't KKoma want to do that?
He also wanted to prove something.
Without me kkoma, you SKT will accomplish nothing!
"ROX Tiger!"
Big Beard took out the third note, which meant that K1 was also placed in the lower half.
SKT and SSG in the top half.
ROX TIGER and K1 in the second half.
There is actually not much suspense about the first round draw.
What matters is the second round.
The bearded host obviously understood this very well, his face became much more serious, he walked to the No. 2 seed pool and stretched out his hand.
He stirred vigorously and took out a piece of paper.
Open it and reveal an unexpected expression.
"RNG!"
"We are in the same group, so the postponement rule should be triggered."
Ah Shui muttered.
SSG and RNG are in the same group. If they want to meet again, they have to go to the finals.
So……
"RNG has reached the second half."
Xu Ruoguang spoke up.
Sure enough, the next moment, the words ROX TIGER playing RNG were displayed.
The bearded host looked cautious and took out the second note.
"G2!"
In the second game, SSG is in the bottom half, so there is no need to avoid it.
SSG vs. G2!
In the third picture, the bearded host was nervous as never before.
This is the final grouping. After drawing this card, the knockout pattern will be basically determined.
is that so?
no.
"EDG..."
Xu Ruoguang closed his eyes slightly and then opened them.
Already confirmed.
Because EDG and SKT are in the same group, according to the avoidance principle, no matter whether EDG or C9 is drawn, it will only be EDG playing K1 and SKT playing C9.
"There's going to be a civil war."
Ah Shui took a deep breath and then exhaled.
Playing EDG is not scary.
But in the knockout LPL civil war, it's really hard.
Personally speaking, Ah Shui also hopes that EDG and RNG can meet later.
Now the civil war...
He was really feeling a little uncomfortable.
Grouping confirmed.
Upper half:
SSG vs. G2.
SKT vs. C9.
Lower half:
ROX vs. RNG.
K1 vs. EDG.
Some spectators began to cry.
"What! Civil war?"
"What a disgusting lottery. I really can't stand the civil war."
"Why didn't K1 get the second seed? If K1 got the second seed, wouldn't there be no civil war?"
"Indeed! K1 just wants to step on his brother's corpse and reach the semi-finals, right?"
"Can you have some brains? Why don't you ask RNG and EDG why they didn't get the No. 1 seed? You didn't get the No. 1 seed and it caused a civil war. Now it's K1's fault?"
"I laughed. EDG couldn't beat RNG and could only take the No. 2 spot. You K1 obviously controlled the Thunder in the group stage. Wouldn't it be easier to lose to the No. 2 seed? Can't you give up the No. 1 seed for the sake of the overall situation?"
"What idiot? Do you want K1 to fight match-fixing?"
This civil war is undoubtedly something that all LPL viewers are not happy to see.
It took a lot of effort for all the top eight to qualify, but then there was a civil war?
