Chapter 658: The battle for the top team, and then fight against SKT
"Congratulations to cp for winning this game!"
Su Xiaoyan announced with a smile, and then continued: "The first round of Group A is over, and CP ranks first in the group with 3-0 points!"
"The qualifying situation is very good, and we are basically certain to enter the quarterfinals."
Su Xiaoyan's words did not say "death". The reason why she did not say "certain" basically was because there was an event with a very small probability that would prevent CP from advancing.
That is the second round of the group stage. CP lost all three games and lost to c9 in the play-offs. In this way, c9 will advance with 4-3 points.
c9 is currently 1-2, having only beaten the wild card team Vietnam.
If we lose to SKT by default in the second round of the group stage, we can still get 2 wins and become 3-3 points.
Then, cp will have the same points as cp, which is 3-3.
According to the outcome of the match, if both sides win one game, there will be a playoff, and whoever wins will advance.
skt defaults to first place in the group, and if c9 wins cp, it will be second in the group.
This situation is very extreme.
Of course, if cp loses all in the second round of the group stage and c9 wins, there will be no need for extra rounds. c9 can advance directly and even compete with skt for first place in the group!
From the actual situation, this probability is almost non-existent.
Will cp lose to the wild card team?
All we can say is that this is something that has a very, very small probability of happening, and is almost impossible.
Therefore, Su Xiaoyan first said that the CP qualifying situation was very good, and she was basically certain to advance, but she did not say that she would definitely advance.
The explanation still cannot be complete, but must leave a little bit of fairness.
Hao Kai smiled and nodded: "I hope rng and we will do their best."
"At present, their points situation is pretty good and they all have a great chance of qualifying."
Qi Huan nodded: "Yes, I hope the three LPL teams can advance together this year, just like last year."
Last year in S6, edg and rng were eliminated despite encountering rox and skt in the quarterfinals.
But the three teams cp, edg and rng have all advanced from the group stage. They naturally hope to see the three lpl teams advance again this year.
Not to mention how far we can go in the future, at least the top eight is better than the top 16.
The more rounds you play, the more opportunities you have.
"Win, win!"
"marvelous!"
Lin Wanwan and her roommates who were watching the game in the dormitory laughed very happily when they saw CP winning the game.
Ever since Lin Wanwan came back from Wuhan and brought back signed photos of the entire CP team, the whole dormitory has become a fan of CP.
Moreover, there is a trend of spreading to classes.
Nowadays, there are not too many college students who like to play lol.
Lin Wanwan's roommate got the autographed photos of Chen Lang and others, and naturally showed them off on WeChat, QQ and other platforms. When the students in the class saw them, they would also ask where they came from.
After getting to know each other, everyone also knew the close relationship between Lin Wanwan and CP, and naturally they loved and paid more attention to CP.
Many people wanted to get autographed photos of the players, but Lin Wanwan did not agree, but declined with other reasons.
Chen Lang and others were competing in the World Championship and could not focus on other things, and Lin Wanwan did not want to disturb them too much.
After the World Championship is over, the team will definitely give back to the fans, and then Lin Wanwan can help her classmates get as many photos as possible.
When it comes to major matters, Lin Wanwan knows her priorities clearly.
After the game ended, Chen Lang stood up from his seat and walked to the c9 position with his teammates.
They shook hands, and when Jensen saw Chen Lang, he couldn't help but feel helpless in his eyes.
The gap in hard power is indeed a bit big, and he has absolutely no way to restrict Chen Lang.
There were several waves of his skills that he cast very well, and he accurately killed Xiaotian and jackeylove in seconds.
However, Chen Lang used his ultimate move to revive them at the critical moment, thereby negating Syndra's explosion.
Syndra is a high-explosion mage. Once the damage is done and it still can't kill anyone, half of it is useless.
Time's ultimate move perfectly restrained him, and Jensen felt helpless that he couldn't even try it even if he had the strength to do so.
He also wanted to kill Chen Lang's time first, but unfortunately Chen Lang's position was very cautious and did not give him this opportunity at all.
When adeaky from c9 shook hands with jackeylove, he smiled.
"Hello." He greeted jackeylove with a smile.
jackeylove saw him and responded with a smile.
"I like you very much. You are very powerful. I hope I can beat you in the second round."
"Let's work together." jackeylove replied.
"Do you like Xia?" sneaky asked.
jackeylove nodded, and sneaky immediately showed a delighted smile: "Can you take a look at my cosplay photo of Xia, are you interested in taking a photo together?"
"..." jackeylove was speechless, he shook his head silently.
Although he really likes Xayah as a hero, he still doesn't want to cosplay him.
Not to mention that Xia is a woman, so don’t even think about wearing women’s clothes!
Xiaotian smiled and joked: "Why did you refuse?"
"I think you can do a Xia Luo Qifei cosplay with him, it will definitely be popular!"
jackeylove was furious in an instant and slapped Xiaotian on the head: "Little bastard, you don't want to live anymore!"
"Why don't you cosplay as a blind monk? I think you are quite suitable!"
"I gave you a well-intentioned suggestion, but you still hit someone..." Xiaotian felt very wronged.
It was too much to hit him even though he was just making a suggestion!
Besides, jackeylove and sneaky are both adcs, so it’s okay for them to cosplay, right?
In the next game, rng also won the victory, advancing to the second round of the group stage with the same score of 3-0.
In their group, ssg is the biggest opponent, followed by g2.
Although ssg is only the third seed of lck and g2 is the first seed of lec, the overall lck division is far stronger than the lec division. Even the third seed ssg is more popular in everyone's hearts than g2, the summer champion.
powerful.
We also won the victory, but lost to lz before. Their score was 2-1. Although it was not as impressive as g, it was still second in the group.
In the past few days, lz's games have been basically exaggerated and one-sided, which has also made we's reputation a little better.
When we lost to lz, the public opinion on the Internet was overwhelmingly critical.
Now that we have seen lz’s dominance, everyone feels that we’s loss is understandable.
Moreover, except for lz, we won the other two games, and our performance was not bad.
For LPL viewers, the first round of the group stage is still acceptable.
rng and cp won the first place in the group, and we won the second place in the group. If we continue to play in this situation, the qualifying situation will be very good.
However, there is another problem, that is, the three LCK teams are also first and second in the group...
This also means that in the quarterfinals, there is a high chance that the two divisions will meet, and the scene in S6 may be repeated.
Last year rng and edg were both eliminated in the quarterfinals, which was still very hurtful.
This year, the audience doesn’t want to experience it again.
In fact, the audience in other divisions will feel even more uncomfortable. If both lpl and lck qualify, then there will only be two places for them to split...
The three groups abc have teams from lpl and lck, so group d has become the most competitive group.
Everyone has about the same strength, and they all have a chance to advance, but unlike the other three groups, the gap is not as obvious. Everyone has a chance to advance, and they played very hard.
The second round of the group stage begins.
Different from the first round mode, only one group is played in a day, a single group round-robin.
Four group matches were played in four days.
The first day was the Group A match.
The game between cp and skt was moved to the final round.
If c9 wants to have a chance to advance, it must win at least one team, skt or cp.
Came up to play gam, c9 successfully defeated the opponent.
Then came the match between cp and gam, which was also no problem.
After that is the game between c9 and skt.
This game is crucial for both sides.
If c9 wins, it will have a chance to advance. If it loses, the hope of advancement will become slimmer.
If skt wins the game, it will have a chance to compete with cp for the first place in the group.
If they lose to c9, it basically declares that they will qualify as second in the group and have no chance to take first place.
Based on the current situation, they are very likely to have a civil war in the quarterfinals.
If the second and first team members want to fight, they are likely to encounter lz and rng.
Calling rng is fine, but calling lz will be troublesome.
After all, they had just been swept by lz in the summer finals. If they met lz again, they would not have the confidence to think that they would definitely win.
Therefore, qualifying first in the group is the best result.
kkoma doesn’t think cp will lose to c9, and he won’t place his hopes on the illusory c9.
Only after defeating c9, when skt meets cp again, if it successfully defeats cp, it will enter the playoffs.
In fact, all members of SKT are gathering momentum and want to overcome the defeat in the first round.
When skt played c9, it was not easy to win, but they still won the game without any danger.
After c9 lost to skt, basically the result of the game between him and cp did not affect the overall situation.
cp4-0, skt3-1, c92-3. Even if c9 beat cp, the points are only 3-3 and there is still no chance to advance.
Even though skt lost two games in a row and the record was 3-3, skt still advanced due to the winning relationship between the two sides.
Therefore, c9 has no chance to advance.
After the elimination was confirmed, c9 let go.
Just like LGD in S5.
If the players lose their shackles, then it’s a happy game.
c9 chose an unconventional lineup, fighting CP throughout the whole process without considering the operational relationship at all.
On the contrary, this "warlike" style of play allowed them to persist longer than in the first game.
The game ended in 30 minutes, and cp won the game.
In the end, there are only two games left, skt and gam and skt and cp!
Playing against a wild card team, skt was extremely ruthless.
Peanut and Bang both got super scores and ended the game.
The second round of confrontation between SKT and CP has officially begun.
Prior to this, cp's group stage score was 5-0 and skt 4-1.
In other words, if skt can defeat cp, they will have a chance to compete for first place in the group!
This game is already full of excitement even before it starts.
"SKT's road to revenge again!"
"In MSI, SKT almost beat CP, but they still couldn't get over the mountain. I wonder if this group stage will be a BO3~"
"Group A is still quite anxious, pitiful c9~"
"The hardest thing to beat is the big brother Vietnam, 0-6, we really can't win a game."
"I feel that SKT lost, not based on their previous record, but because their state felt very ups and downs. They were not as stable as before. They were a bit dangerous in the c9 game just now."
"Is it possible that c9 is not weak, but it just looks a bit weak against the backdrop of group A?"
Netizens are having heated discussions about the competition between skt and cp.
However, most viewers believed that cp would still win the game.
Throughout the group stage, cp's condition has been very good.
Before the game started, footage recorded by the players before the game was shown on the big screen.
When I come to SKT, I basically want to defeat CP.
Peanut is more funny. Because he was also a member of cp, his words were not offensive at all. He just said that both teams have already confirmed to enter the quarterfinals, so the fight will be more relaxed.
It's the cp's turn to be more aggressive.
Chen Lang said with a smile: "We made an appointment at the MSI to come to the World Championships together this year and treat them to dinner then."
"They are here now. If I win the game today, I will contact them to have dinner tonight and celebrate the promotion together."
"If I lose the game, I will find an excuse to feel sad and not go out."
Seeing Chen Lang say such words, netizens couldn't hold back.
"What a bastard!"
"If I win with SKT, I won't get any food. If I lose, I'll have to be dragged over by you to be angry?"
"If you don't want to invite people to dinner, just say so. You are not trying to make people feel like you are doing this!"
"666, it is indeed what a CP can do!"
"CP fans please clarify, this is Brother Lang's personal behavior, please do not escalate it to the team!"
jackeylove and others hope that their old teammate Xiaohuatuan will not mess with him and let them fight 2v2 in the bottom lane.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the game started on time.
This is also the last game of Group A. If SKT wins the game, there will be an extra game, which may last until the early morning.
Even though it is so late, the excitement of the game is still very high.
There have been hot searches on Weibo, and viewers in the live broadcast rooms of major sports events continue to flock in, making it the most popular game today.
Even though it was late at night, it was hard to stop the enthusiasm of the audience!
The game between skt and cp can be said to be the epitome of the championship battle. These two teams are also one of the teams with the best chance to win the championship.
When we were first assigned to a group, it caused quite a stir.
"Hello everyone, I am Doll."
"Hello everyone, I'm Miller."
"I am Zeyuan."
The Haier brothers and the senior colonel commented on the game.
"cp is on the blue side, skt is on the red side."
After the two sides finished choosing sides, Miller said loudly.
"This is the opposite of the first round of the group stage. At that time, skt was on the blue side and cp was on the red side."
"That's right." Baby nodded: "Let's see if there will be any changes in BP after the two teams change sides."
At that time, SKT took away the pig girl, which surprised many people.
"This is the battle for the top spot in the group stage." Guan Zeyuan looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "Both sides will definitely try their best to win this game."
"After all, the ranking in the group stage is related to the opponents in the quarterfinals, which is quite critical."
Miller nodded: "Yes, lz has a strong momentum. If they qualify second in the group, they are likely to encounter them in the quarterfinals. lz is a very difficult opponent."
It is impossible for any team to encounter lz too early.
Because a lot of tactics and routines will definitely be revealed, and everyone can see how tricky Liz is.
"Let's take a look at the banpick from both sides."
"CP banned Ryze first, and skt banned skateboard shoes..."
"The red square skate shoe is basically a must-ban hero," Miller said.
"CP banned Syndra and Galio again, and SKT banned Pig Girl and Blind Sin."
The doll said: "Xialuo has been released, one on each side."
As expected, the cp's first choice directly won Xia first.
Guan Zeyuan nodded: "Although both heroes Xia Luo are very popular, I think Xia Luo has a higher priority than Luo."
"Compared to ADs like Mouse and Big Mouth, Xayah's ultimate move can save lives, which is more advantageous than other adcs."
"Especially when there is no flash, Xayah's ultimate move can provide him with safety. This version also requires the ADC to be immortal in order to have output. Xayah is obviously better than Luo."
"That's right."
Miller nodded and agreed with Guan Zeyuan's words.
