Based on the current situation of Group D, if Snake defeats TSM in the final round, then they will advance together with Snake.
This is the scene that GRF and LCK fans least want to see.
Once TSM kills the killer, Griffin and Snake will have exactly the same victory, and the two sides will have to play extra games.
Judging from GRF's performance in the second round, after several attempts to find the most suitable style of play, no matter how stupid the new coach Dragon is, he should know how to employ people by now.
Therefore, as long as there is an extra match, Snake will definitely be the more dangerous side.
On this night, the Berlin Concert Hall was still noisy, and the audience remained enthusiastic.
But backstage at GRF, Coach Dragon and other members of Griffin's front office all had an ominous premonition.
The players of TSM and Snake have not yet appeared on the stage, and Jianhuang dug up a video of TSM's interview a few days ago.
The interviewee is Kim Sang-soo.
During the video playback, the host asked:
"Coach Jin, The King is in great condition and is currently the undisputed number one player."
"But he has a lot of injury history, and fans are very worried about his health. Has TSM ever made a detailed plan for the use of The King?"
Jin Xiangxiu said cautiously:
"We are highly concerned about Brother Hao's health. This has always been the most stressful thing for the TSM team."
"Don't worry, everyone. TSM's health consultant has also accompanied him to Berlin. Brother Hao is doing well."
"In terms of use, as long as there is an opportunity for load management, the team will give it priority. After all, he is our absolute core."
"..."
The short interview video made Griffin very uneasy.
TSM currently has five consecutive wins in the group stage, has qualified early, and has locked in the first place in the group.
In the last game, whether we win or lose, it has no impact on TSM.
Then, the possibility of TheKing truce will be very high.
"We won't be so unlucky~!"
The Sword Emperor said somewhat reluctantly.
Chaowei remained silent, his expression very stiff.
Taishan sighed: "The feeling of having your destiny controlled by others is so uncomfortable."
"if."
He wanted to make a series of assumptions, but kept his mouth shut.
It's too late to say anything now.
This is Griffin's first world championship. With the title of the uncrowned king, they went abroad amidst the praise and expectations of the LCK audience. Before coming out, everyone was very motivated and wanted to win the Summoner's Cup and leave their own legacy.
story.
But the situation at this time was something I never imagined.
The young Griffin is like a powerful horse. They can gallop across the world, but they lost their direction in the fog of S9.
Originally, they had Cvmax, an old horse that led the way, but it was dismantled by Griffin's own supervision halfway through.
Perhaps, this is the fate of the uncrowned king.
When the starting rosters of TSM and Snake were updated on the big screen, the LPL audience was in an uproar!
"The mid laner is Bilson, and the top lane is handed over to Kabo. Damn it, this is TSM's entertainment lineup, Brother Hao is taking a rest!!"
"it is true!"
"TSM weapons are in storage and horses are released to Nanshan. Brother Hao really missed it!"
"Uuuuuuu, Brother Hao, I cried to death on the spot~!"
"..."
In the commentary box, Wawa rubbed his hands excitedly and smiled tacitly with Miller beside him.
"TSM's arrangement seems very reasonable to me!"
"We are already first in the group, and now all the top eight teams are staring at this. There is no reason to expose the tactics to others. Let Brother Hao take turns. This is the smartest way."
"Hahaha, yes, I completely agree with your point of view."
The Haier brothers smiled happily, and the girl Rita on the side was more straightforward:
"At the critical moment, my brother Hao stood up again!"
Brother Haier laughed again when he heard this, "If nothing else, we will be good brothers forever!"
"Why do some people say that TSM acted deliberately? This is wrong."
Miller looked at the barrage with a serious face:
"Brother Hao is the oldest player in the league. Everyone knows that he has many problems. TSM has already stated that it will definitely let Brother Hao rest if there is an opportunity."
"At Snake back then, we basically played like this."
"..."
Seeing the commentators trying to cover up the truth, the LPL audience all laughed.
Snake fans were filled with yin and yang emotions, both happy and sad.
"At critical moments, Snake can still trust Brother Hao, even if he is in North America!"
"Please tell me the psychological shadow area of everyone in Griffin."
"Brother Hao: Stupid Ou Doudou, I can only help you so far!"
"Brothers, do you know why Brother Hao didn't play? Because he kept lifting Snake over and over again and his arm went numb, so he took a break."
"GRF: I'm carrying you, please carry me down, right?"
"..."
The LPL audience was in a state of excitement. Many people were making fun and jokes, but most of them were happy.
Everyone believes that with Li Hao's absolute throne in TSM, if he had not approved the decision to suspend the season, he would never have been put on the bench.
The root of all this is the love that big brother has for his younger brothers.
Of course, there are also gambling dogs yelling:
"I report! I report! The King is operating shamelessly! This is a fake match!"
"It's very windy on the rooftop, so you have to float a little bit when you jump off."
"..."
After seeing TSM's lineup, Snake's players were all in awe of the lineup.
Everyone kept communicating, and Chris also joined the group chat.
Flandre was the most excited:
"How is it! My guess is absolutely correct, Brother Hao really doesn't want to fight!"
"Brother Hao gave up the chance to win the group stage for you guys!"
"All of you are sinners!"
Standing on the commanding heights, the holy spear judged everyone.
But in the words of Da Congming and others, the Holy Spear is also one of those bullshit.
“Brother Hao, I’m so awesome~~”
"We're hopeless, brothers. We are a dynasty team, and we need Brother Hao to take care of us like this when we qualify for the group stage."
"We have to fight well in this game. If we lose, let's retire where we are."
"Hahaha, if we lose this game, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to retire. A large number of fans will plan a swimming route for us. If the water quality is not good, it will make us burp~~"
"..."
Chris saw them chatting and quickly interrupted:
"Okay, stop beeping and play the game!"
"..."
The audience at the scene was not too disappointed, because TSM's lineup was unrestrained and artistic enough.
Big Brother and Black presented the lineup of Delma + Cat amid the cheers of the audience.
The e-sports mercenary took out Sword Princess on the top lane and had a great time playing with Flandre.
Snake's lineup is relatively conventional, and they don't dare to be as relaxed as they say.
Apart from giving up one Li Hao, TSM did not let any slack in the game.
This game lasted 34 minutes.
The head-to-head ratio was 11:20. With the outstanding performance of Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, Snake passed the test in a thrilling manner.
Snake, with 4 wins and 2 losses, ranked second in the group and secured the last qualifying spot in the S9 group stage.
The director is very good at causing trouble, and the camera panned backstage at Snake and TSM.
There was a revelry on the Snake team, and everyone was shouting excitedly.
TSM, on the other hand, was chatting and laughing and didn't pay much attention.
It is worth mentioning that coach Jin Sangxiu is sitting next to Li Hao, Li Hao is leaning on the water dispenser, and Shi Yizhong is looking at the picture on the screen with a smile on his face.
If I say that I didn't have any adultery with Snake, would anyone believe me?
The MVP of this game should not be Lin Weixiang, but the man sitting on the bench.
GRF backstage, no one is willing to accept such a result.
The majestic and uncrowned king of LCK, the best player in the regular season, the dark horse, and hope.
Fell in the group stage!
There may be people who say that HKA didn't win a game, didn't score a single point, and was shaved in the death group. Griffin is much more respectable than HKA.
However, they ended up with exactly the same result, about buying a plane ticket in Berlin.
There are also sticks complaining about TSM, saying that they have no professional ethics and engage in match-fixing.
But other reasons aside, why should you leave your destiny in the hands of others?
In the final analysis, you are not strong enough.
During the game commentary, in the European commentary box, Charles asked Coster:
"What do you think of TheKing giving up their unbeatable record in the group stage and complying with the team's decision to take a break?"
Coster, the peak of Haofui, said firmly without any hesitation:
"This is one of the smartest decisions in the history of esports."
"Compared with TheKing's health, a complete victory in the group stage is nothing."
"No one will remember their complete victory in the group stage. People will only remember who the champion of S9 is."
"TSM has taken this step to prove that their front office team is still thinking and is not a fool. These people know what TSM and LCS ultimately need."
Many people agreed with Coster's point of view. In the post-match interview, Kim Sang-soo said similar words.
However, as a Korean coach, Kim Sang-soo has been expelled from the club because of this move.
Sjokz took the stage last.
She announced the top eight list this time.
They are DWG and G2 of group A respectively.
SPY, RNG of Group B.
IG, SKT in Group C.
TSM, Snake in Group D.
These eight teams will compete in the quarter-finals at the Vista Allegre Palace in Madrid, Spain.
On October 21st, Riot Games invited Origen to support professional player Mithy for a draw.
That night, Mithy wore a suit and leather shoes and stood in front of two pools filled with silver balls.
All the top 8 teams are staring at him.
In the first draw, Mithy drew IG and was assigned to the top half.
Then, what excited everyone on IG, Mithy drew SPY again!
"Nice, Ness, Ness~~!!"
In the IG training room, the shy man hugged the cock and had a three-hit combo.
European snakes, this is the most comfortable half area.
As a result, TSM and DWG were placed in the lower half.
Sure enough, Mithy pulled out TSM and DWG successively.
“Wonderful!”
"Xiumei is about to run into Brother Hao!"
"My dear, this is your chance to face your idol. The fairy tale is about to become a reality!"
IG fans laughed:
"Mithy is okay, much better than those two guys from VIT."
“Good sign, good sign!”
"..."
The most exciting thing is the second place pool in the group.
Mithy in the camera is smiling and taking out the first silver ball.
Uncover it and show the team label to everyone.
"Snake!"
"Nah! The first battle is civil war!"
"Snake wants to fight IG!"
"This Mithy deserves to be killed!"
The LPL side is in trouble.
Soon, European fans were also furious.
Mithy's second draw, G2 won the jackpot!
SPY versus G2!
The third European brother versus the European big brother.
Civil war, still civil war!
Backstage at G2, Hat King P and others were all happy.
There's no absolute certainty when it comes to beating other people, so it's better to hit the third brother with a handful of hands.
Mithy's third draw.
"It's SKT!"
In the LPL commentary box, I remember shouting:
"Oh my god, TSM and SKT, thunder versus fire!"
"In S9, Faker and Brother Hao faced each other in Spain! How cruel!"
The only remaining RNG was drawn below the DWG.
The swordsmen who were wielding swords in the sky above Spain were trembling as they looked at the situation in the lower half.
TSM,SKT,DWG
These guys are the hardest and hardest to chew!
Get your money back!
What a bad draw!
Is the sword going to be broken again?!
Mithy, this person deserves to die!
The sword-wielding disciples are discussing whether they should kill Mithy, the bastard, before the sword breaks into pieces!
