Just as I thought before, the Kangba was bustling with activity.
Firstly, because there was a match between the popular team VG, and secondly, many of the results of the second round were unexpected, which inevitably aroused heated discussions among maggot babies.
[VG is always awesome! Just don’t overturn when you beat a weak team. This is called a top team. Watch and learn from those who can’t even understand how to bully a weak team]
[So it’s quite a blessing to be a fan of VG. This six-game winning streak in the group stage is really exciting for VC. Look at RNG and EDG next door. They lost so badly at home. It’s so shameless!]
[Xiao Hei Zi is almost done. RNG was taken advantage of by G2 and allowed Imp and Ah P to do whatever they wanted. This is to let everyone experience the pressure resistance in an immersive way. Isn’t this a perfect anti-pressure experience? Cultivate fans as Han Xin, that’s all.
Bear the humiliation and bear the burden; EDG's 10,000 yuan economy was overturned, in order to take the piglets to experience the roller coaster, exercise everyone's mentality, and strive to be calm in the future]
[Wuwuwu, the two teams are so gentle, they really... I cried to death...]
[So it turns out, RNG and EDG have good intentions, and the reasons behind them are heartwarming!]
[Hot knowledge: Since the restructuring of the S4 World Championship, the winner of the group stage must be the champion of this World Championship]
When Gu Xing saw this, he pointed his fingers and recalled the group stage results of previous S competitions in his mind.
The result was exactly as the maggot baby said.
After the restructuring, all participating teams must fight fiercely in the group stage in exchange for qualifying spots. So far, a total of 3 teams have emerged that have won the group stage.
They are Samsung White for S4, SKT for S5 and VG for S7.
The first two teams were both world champions that year, and their winning rates were extremely terrifying. They were dubbed by netizens as the 'most dominant team in the history of League of Legends'!
Although Gu Xing does not believe in evil, when his own interests are really at stake, he still inevitably gives himself psychological hints.
Will VG be like Samsung White and BBQ Stall in this World Championship, winning the Summoner's Trophy with a super high winning rate?
Thinking of this, my self-confidence instantly swelled.
Gu Xing finally suppressed his turbulent thoughts and continued to browse the anti-bar.
After all the matches ended today, the headlines of Tieba were all occupied by summary posts. Only by scrolling down can you see the real-time discussions during the game.
[Oh my god, you can win with a mantis in the herbivorous jungle version? Brother Xing is no longer a human being!]
[I can only say that the little yellow hair is ridiculous!]
[There is a saying that the gap between one person and another is too exaggerated. Brother Xing used the mantis to defeat the race knight's EZ, and the race knight used the mantis to lose to Levi's little yellow hair. In the end, the only loser was himself! 】
[Then the question is, is Mantis good at playing EZ?]
[Am I reading that right? Can GAM beat Samsung? Isn’t this pure and unnatural? 】
[Just kidding, you are looking down on my Vietnamese team, right? It’s unreasonable, you must teach SSG a lesson!]
As a third party, domestic players' comments about GAM's upset victory over Samsung do not contain any real feelings - after all, not everyone is Guan Zeyuan.
This made Gu Xing feel unhappy. He quit and carefully searched for reposted posts on the Korean website Inven forum.
As a result, he actually found it!
Gu Xing couldn't help feeling that there were still many kind-hearted people in this world.
Maggot babies are everywhere in the anti-bar having fun, and they never miss any opportunity to laugh at LCK while gaining experience. Naturally, they go to the Korean network forum as soon as possible after the upset game to watch the changes in public opinion. By the way,
Transfer all the comments back so that everyone can watch the school beauty together.
Since the comments were intercepted early, the Inven forum is full of anti-defense quotes.
[C8, what on earth is Samsung going to do? Can it even lose to GAM? It’s shameless! 】
[I can only imagine how the LPL and European and American audiences are going to make fun of us. Samsung is so good that it makes me sick!]
[Quoting Quan Yongjun’s post-match comments - When we calculate the probability of SSG winning the first place in the group, it is based on the premise that Samsung can beat GAM! Are you trying to lose to the Vietnamese team first? 】
[The five SSG people should get out of KR quickly. Are you worthy of being a member of the Han Kingdom? 】
[Vietnamese prisoners of war SSG emerges!]
[Old viewers all know that Samsung is like this. Back then, it was eliminated in the SSO group stage and won the top 16. This year, it will lose to GAM again. In foreign games, it often stretches its hips to show its filial piety]
[I thought Samsung would be in better shape in the group stage if they played one more round of qualifying rounds, but I didn’t expect it to be like this, bah!]
Gu Xing didn't take it too seriously to watch the excitement, and happily enjoyed the Korean netizens' actual records of breaking the defense.
"Ho ho ho, Samsung is about to be expelled from Korea!" He happily shared the good news with Jack.
"Let me be healthy," Yu Wenbo became more energetic. He took out his mobile phone and went to surf on Kangba. "Do you have any reaction from the netizens in the Vietnam competition? It's not fun just watching Inven."
"No way," Gu Xing shook his head, "I guess there are not many people in the country who understand Vietnamese, and I don't have the guts to translate it by machine."
There are so many unique nouns in League of Legends that even the basic meanings cannot be translated using software, let alone the correct meaning!
Jack felt a little disappointed, but then he laughed out loud after seeing the hotly discussed and reposted post by European and American netizens on Reddit.
The Marquis turned his head to take a look, and immediately stopped.
"These people are really like Tianjin's pancakes - one thing after another!" he said as usual.
Gu Xing also found the Reddit translation post.
[What the hell, I was sleeping, but I was woken up by the subject yelling. When I got up, I saw that TSM would lose to GAM? 】
[Fxxk TSM, if you lose to VG, can you still say that you are not strong enough and can’t even beat GAM? 】
[NA is simply a disgrace to the five major regions! It really can’t be disbanded]
[SSG also lost, so it makes sense for me, TSM, to lose! 】
[9494, look at the fuss you are making. Isn’t it normal to lose to the Vietnamese team? Don’t forget that TSM is America’s team! The Vietnam War is an old prisoner. As the younger brother of Samsung, you have to step back a little!
】
[The point is not just losing, but ranking low! TSM ranks last in Group A with 1 win and 5 losses, 1!5! Even GAM can’t catch up]
Except for this part of North American netizens who hate TSM, the rest of the European and American audiences are quite tolerant of TSM.
North America is no longer prone to crotch pulling every day. In terms of record, it has been the worst among the five major competitions from S1 to now.
If you lose, just lose?
It’s amazing to win!
When Boss Ding saw Duan Deliang coming back from the interview, he patted his butt and stood up, "Elbow, let's go out to eat something good today to celebrate. Everyone has worked hard for so long, so we have to combine work and rest to improve efficiency..."
Since they played on the first day of the second round, they will have about a week of rest until the quarter-finals. It is understandable to take a night's rest, which should be used to adjust their mentality.
The location of Wuhan Sports Center is quite remote, and there are not many expensive restaurants near the hotel. As a result, they met their opponents in the same group again.
VG's interview session took a lot of time. All three teams had already eaten. Perhaps because the private rooms were full, they had to choose a few long tables in the lobby.
After Gu Xing and others opened the door and came in, everyone looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"Are you still coming to the Chinese restaurant?" Gu Xing waved hello to Dean Bi.
Bjergsen is gradually coming out of the shadow of being eliminated in the group stage. It doesn't seem to be a big deal to him. The top 16 is nothing more than retracing the path of previous years.
"When I was preparing for the battle a few days ago, in order not to affect my condition, I always chose food from my own country. You can eat it with confidence and boldness. Now that it has been eliminated anyway, I must hurry up and find some local specialties when I have free time."
Bilson spoke very fast and with an accent. Gu Xing didn't understand it for a moment, so he had to look at Vincent, a Riot employee who was accompanying the team, for help.
After getting the accurate translation, he asked with concern, "How does it taste?"
"Hmm..." Bilson thought for a moment, "It's not the same as the Chinese food we have there. It always feels weird."
"There are no fortune cookies, right?" Gu Xing teased.
Jack laughed loudly next to him.
During the World Championships last year, they tasted a modified version of American-style Chinese food in the United States. The fortune cookies that came with every meal at Panda Express were really impressive.
"I think it tastes pretty good," Ruler took a big mouthful of steamed pork and complained vaguely, "I don't understand why Brother Hekui said that all the Chinese food he has eaten here is inedible."
Gu Xing asked the translator Li Zhixun to act as the microphone. After hearing Ruler's words, he couldn't help but curse.
That's right, Deft ate at the Guodian Canteen!
The four teams did not communicate much. After all, the group stage has just ended and we are in the stage where "people's joys and sorrows are not connected to each other". It is not good to be overly enthusiastic or indifferent.
As soon as Gu Xing sat down and was about to order, he was tapped twice on the shoulder.
Looking back, he turned out to be a race knight.
"Is something wrong?" His attitude was cold.
Svenskeren ignored Gu Xing's expression and eagerly asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time, "Is Yin Zeriel a version trap?"
The game is over. Now that the race knight has calmed down, the more he thinks about it, the weirder it becomes.
You may say that Xiao Huangmao is weak, but it seems that he is not. In many games, he can carry the whole game by relying on his early rhythm.
If you want to be strong, you will be taught by Mantis and other high-explosion heroes!
Svenskeren was puzzled.
"Haha," Gu Xing showed a mocking smile, "What do you think?"
The race knight looked constipated.
Svenskeren is not alone in his confusion.
The Group B match the next day can be called a rally of EZ jungle victims!
When FNC faced the Red Pegasus, Broxah took the lead in taking out EZ and taught the opponent hard to score the second point. Xiao Huangmao scored an excellent record of 6/2/9 in the game.
The leader SKT replaced Clid as a substitute when the probability of qualifying was extremely high. This guy chose to use his signature Lee Sin to face AHQ's jungler Yin Zerel.
Needless to say, the result is that although Xiao Huangmao took advantage of the strong strength of Wind Cavalry + Red BUFF in the early stage, when the lane transition period came, SKT slowly made up for the disadvantage with its skilled lane transition skills.
Finally, Clid used the Virtue version of the roundhouse kick, which stunned AHQ shooter Xiao An from the formation and kicked him in front of the SKT players!
Wash your feet!
Looking at the entire game, Xiao Huangmao is still much more useful than Blind Sin, both in terms of performance and data.
Broxah was very confident in his EZ and continued to use it in the next key qualifying match against EDG.
"I'll give you a damn!" Jack exclaimed, slapping his thigh in the hotel training room, "FNC really dares to choose!"
The members of the sparring team who were also watching the match also cheered, and the room was filled with joy.
Liu Qingsong's smile was also very obvious.
Unlike other little Heizi who live happily, he is really a fan of Ming Kai and is known as the number one piggy in the professional circle.
In the whole room, Liu Qingsong sincerely hopes that Gui Jiao Qi will qualify.
Gu Xing was also very happy.
Helping the brother teams in the same division as much as possible is also one of his purposes in constructing the EZ jungle trap.
Now seeing Broxah choose Xiao Huangmao, Gu Xing suddenly felt the joy of a good harvest.
Done!
Able shook his head repeatedly to express confusion, "Is the training analysis of professional teams so bad?"
"Logically speaking, you should be able to sense something is wrong..." He murmured.
Hongmi smiled brightly, "Dai Zhichun, you overestimate professional teams. You always think that the coaching staff in the world are all the best. In fact, there are quite a lot of losers among them, and there are still people who have no independent opinions and like to follow others' opinions and copy other people's understanding.
"
"Among the remaining coaching staff, there are still some who like to play tricks and carry them out to the extreme."
You can choose lineups without continuous output. The BP idea of 5 guarantees of 0 is not uncommon. There is also the precious value of choosing the Chopper team without banning the Stone Man.
The fiery man smelt iron, and Lucian was chosen from the three...
Cerebral palsy BPs emerge in endlessly, which directly affects the team's winning rate.
You never know what these coaches can do!
Although some unfavorable BPs are influenced by the strong personal opinions of players, what is your job as a head coach?
Is it honorable to be ignored by players without prestige?
It is sheer nonsense to say that netizens are better than them, but it is not necessary to say how high the level of these coaches is.
There are only a handful of coaches who truly have something of their own and look around the world!
Mr. Hou was convinced.
He now has an issue of trusting data too much and preferring the direction of European and American coaching staffs. This is probably related to his experience of studying mathematics in college. He always involuntarily relies more on the intelligence information presented by the data.
As a result, BP and version control are always criticized by Hongmi as having no spirituality. I plan to study with Big Brother for a while before going out to work alone.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be very shameful to be kicked out of KTV by another team after only half a year of coaching?
"Besides, Dai Zhichun, you are looking at the EZ trap from a God's perspective," Hongmi continued, "If you don't know anything about it and see Xiao Huangmao killing everyone in the professional arena, the BP rate and winning rate are rising all the way,
The top teams in the world are using it, and the qualifying matches are also very popular..."
"Can you really stick to your inner thoughts and think that the coaching staff of other teams are all rookies? Are you the most correct?"
Dai Zhichun fell into silence.
Fortunately for the top teams in the upper reaches, they have their own system of play, and their coaching staff is generally above average, so it is difficult to be fooled.
But the mid-range teams don't think this way. They probably copy the understanding of the upper-level teams. If they can't practice certain tactics, they won't doubt the top teams. Instead, they first reflect on whether they are not good at learning and are unable to exert their full power.
It's weird to think about it.
In this case, the EZ jungler is cheating these mid-range teams!
FNC's performance this year was very unsatisfactory, and they stumbled into the World Championship as the third seed in Europe.
Fortunately, the Xianglu version paid more attention to the strength of Double C in the understanding level of the group stage, which allowed them to defeat Guodian in the first round.
But now, practicing Xiao Huangmao's jungle position is tantamount to tying yourself up and shifting your tactical focus to the jungle position to compete with EDG!
Playing right into Ming Kai's heart.
Gui Jiao Qi likes to resist pressure and play defensive counterattacks. If you let him take the initiative to attack, it may not be a good thing.
The EZ jungler selected by FNC pushed him into the field of play he is best at!
The one-handed pig girl can control the wind and rain in the wild area, relying on making eyes in advance to observe the movements of the little yellow fur, and then use this to avoid combat and develop.
Broxah invaded the EDG wild area up to 7 times in the early and mid-term, but either he couldn't find any trace of the pig girl, or the opponent easily escaped with the pig's skin's flatness and the pig's sudden movement!
EDG dragged on for 30 minutes. As Yin Zerui's strength gradually declined, Pig Girl's role in the team battle completely overwhelmed Xiao Huangmao!
At present, Guodian operates Que Shi La Kua in the later stage, but when it gets a lineup with a deeper power point, it can also defeat FNC by relying on the strength of the hero combination!
Winning this game means that EDG is in a good situation in the battle for qualifying spots!
"Nice!" Song Jinghao applauded Guodian, "As long as we win AHQ, we will have the initiative!"
As the third team of Guodian, AHQ still gives respect to its eldest brother. The old Ximen Ye said that he is not worth mentioning in front of the younger brother who is unwilling to choose Lucian.
EDG has achieved three wins. Unless FNC overturns SKT, it is possible to win the right to play!
There is no reason for the barbecue stall to release water.
Huni showed no mercy to his old master, he took out the troll and hit the road straight away!
In the last wave of the team, Lee Sang-hyuk's clockwork hid the ball in the wall, and unexpectedly handed over the big move to catch the two enemy generals, completely destroying FNC's last hope of qualifying, and helping SKT win and advance to the knockout round!
At the same time, EDG, with three wins, locked the remaining qualifying spots in Group B!
The cheers and screams in the hotel training room rose to the sky, quickly filling the space!
"Handsome Faker!" Gu Xing applauded and praised, "This is really a great benefactor to Guodian!"
"It has to be you, Brother Xing!" Jin Yibo, who was watching the game, was happy, "This EZ jungler move is absolutely amazing!"
He sincerely does not want the LPL team to fail in the group stage.
That will affect the ratings.
For example, today, if EDG is eliminated, many passers-by will not watch the next game!
Jin Yibo wanted all three teams to enter the quarterfinals, and it was best not to have a premature civil war.
Now, even if EDG is second in the group, it can still barely complete the task!
"Let's go," Liu Qingsong said happily, picked up his phone and ran outside, "go downstairs for some supper, just in time to meet EDG!"
Many members of the sparring group rushed down.
Gu Xing had nothing to do, thinking that no one would accompany him to continue practicing, so he simply followed the others and ran downstairs.
After a delicious meal at the buffet restaurant, we happened to meet SKT who had returned from victory when we arrived at the hotel lobby.
The red uniforms are extremely eye-catching in the dark night.
It is even more intimidating when worn by the Wolf Stick duo in the bottom lane - without him, their bodies are definitely considered to be big and round among professional players, and the sense of oppression brought by their body shape is quite good.
Gu Xing met Faker's eyes.
Nodding and saying hello briefly, he wanted to apply oil on the soles of his feet.
However, Lee Sang Hyuk said in unskilled English, "I hope we can meet soon..."
"I've been waiting for a full year and I have no patience anymore," Faker whispered.
The S7 season has been a tough one for SKT.
He only finished second in the Spring Split, losing the Spring Championship for the first time since entering the LCK era. In addition, he also lost the Intercontinental Championship, leaving Lee Sang Hyuk unable to complete a new Grand Slam!
Fortunately, the three armies worked hard, and the barbecue stall in the summer competition was relatively successful. It won the championship and entered the S competition as the No. 1 seed.
Lee Sang Hyuk believes that the incense burner version is very suitable for SKT.
There is no doubt about Bang's stability. It is not an exaggeration to say that Bae Junzhi, who has not entered a meditative state, is the strongest shooter in team battles in the world!
Coupled with Xiao Hei's increasingly mature play style, as long as Huni, the smart knife, tries not to make mistakes in the top lane, it is natural for SKT to win!
Faker waited for a whole year before he finally got the chance to meet VG on the international stage. He couldn't wait to avenge last year's finals.
This dark horse team single-handedly prevented him from achieving consecutive championships, and Lee Sang Hyuk will never forget that painful memory.
"Sure," Gu Xing's smile was still bright and sunny, "If you have the ability, just come over!"
