After the group stage, it will be the knockout rounds.
As the first team to finish the group stage, Chen Lang and others have not been so tired these days.
During the day, I played ranked games in the hotel to maintain my skills, and at night, I watched the games of other groups.
Playing games is the easiest way to get to know your opponents.
Including the BP tactical issues of each team, as well as the habits of executing tactics, as well as the personal habits of the players.
Take Xiaohu for example, he is used to placing his ornamental eyes in the grass on the upper river at 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
This is to prevent the jungler from ganking in the middle after finishing farming the monsters.
This eye can clearly see the movements of the opponent's jungler.
If the opponent is attacking river crabs, they can see it clearly.
Therefore, when fighting Xiaohu, you must go to the middle to gank in advance, or avoid being seen by him in the jungle.
The routines of many teams are designed based on the habits of the players, making it easy to trap the opponent in the early stage.
"One thing to say, I feel that the sparring team is better than many teams****ackeyLove joked with a smile.
"That's for sure." Xiaotian shouted: "You don't even think about how terrifying this IG is."
The top three C, TheShy in the top lane, Rookie in the middle lane, and smlz in the bottom lane are all players with outstanding personal abilities.
Moreover, they are now at the peak of their careers.
Jungler Ning and support Baolan may be a little behind, but relying on the strong strength of their teammates, they can do their jobs well.
Ning can perform gank very well in the top lane or the middle lane, because the middle lane Rookie and the top lane TheShy are powerful and can always have an advantage.
The jungle position is very easy to perform as long as you can have an advantage online.
Only when the three lanes are at a disadvantage will it be difficult for the jungler to perform well.
Bottom lane smlz himself is a stable carry AD, plus he is good at big mouth and is a version of AD, he is the perfect fit for this IG.
In the Incense Burner version, you only need to assist in protecting the ADC's development. Once the ADC is equipped, you can step forward and take over the game.
In this regard, smlz has done a lot in OMG.
Switching to IG, he did even better. After all, the double C in the middle attracted a lot of firepower for him, allowing him to develop better.
For the best third team in this summer split, smlz beat mystic to be selected.
Although OMG's results are a little worse than WE, it also has something to do with teammates.
OMG only the middle and lower two people can watch it, the rest are relatively poor.
WE's Condi and Xiye both played very well, so the team's performance will not be bad.
After comprehensive consideration, the gap between the two teams in the regular season is not particularly big. In addition, Condi and Xiye were both selected to the best team, so Mystic's quota was squeezed out.
It’s not that mystic is not as good as smlz, but the award selection will also be discussed based on the overall situation of the team.
It is impossible for a certain team to win too many awards, so it needs to be balanced.
"IG will definitely get a spot in the World Championship next year." Chen Lang said.
IG almost entered the World Championship this year, but was defeated by WE at the last minute.
This lineup is their first year, and after getting used to it, the team's strength will definitely improve.
And after the sparring group incident, IG should also be able to see the shortcomings of its own team.
Just find an ADC that's not bad, and you'll be able to take off.
"I think so." JackeyLove agreed.
"They should spend money to bring in an ADC this offseason."
Xiaotian suddenly said: "Is it possible for IG to directly introduce smlz?"
During this period of time as a sparring partner, IG’s training record was very good.
smlz and IG have a very good chemical reaction. At least RNG and WE were tyrannized by this IG.
Therefore, if IG can introduce smlz, it will definitely allow IG to take off.
The results in the training matches already illustrate this point.
Chen Lang said: "It depends on whether OMG lets it go."
"smlz has just renewed its contract with OM, and the icon is not bad, so the future is promising."
"As long as OMG still has the ambition to enter the World Championship, it is unlikely to sell smlz."
OMG's two most outstanding players at present are icon and smlz, who are also the core and mainstay of the team.
If smlz is sold, OMG's strength will definitely drop significantly, and they may not even be able to enter the playoffs.
Even if IG wants to buy smlz, it doesn't mean it will definitely succeed.
...
Chen Lang and his group watched the live broadcast together, waiting for the draw of the quarter-finals.
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals Knockout Draw Ceremony..."
"The 24 teams that once had championship dreams are now down to the last 8, and they will go to Guangzhou for a more brutal knockout competition."
The hosts are Ren Dong and Yu Shuang, who are hosting on the stage.
The place where lots are drawn is the group stage competition site. There are seats for the players on both sides, and there are two stone pillars erected in the center of the stage.
There are two glass jars placed above, each containing four small black balls.
These are the eight teams that have advanced to the knockout rounds this time.
"The team is invited to appear!"
Yu Shuang smiled very sweetly: "They are CP, RNG, LZ and MSF who entered the quarterfinals as the first in the group!"
Each team sent one person up.
RNG sent Xiao Ming, CP sent lqs, LZ was auxiliary player gorilla, and MSF was auxiliary player ignar.
The lqs group stood on the left side of the stage, and behind them there were light signs for each team.
After introducing lqs and others, Yu Shuang continued to greet the four second-ranked teams in the group.
"Invite SSG, WE, SKT and FW who are the second in the group to enter the quarterfinals!"
SSG came on stage with cuvee, WE had zero, SKT was not a faker, it was only Li brother Li Zaiwan wolf, and FW was the wolf king Kasa.
"It should be noted in advance that according to the rules, the knockout stage will be the four teams ranked first in the group stage against the other four teams that finished second in the group stage."
Ren Dong took over what his partner said, "And another key rule is that two teams qualifying from the same group will not be divided into the same half zone!"
This also means that unless both teams from the same group advance to the finals, they will not meet again.
"Let's invite today's draw guest, the mid laner of the OMG team in the LPL division, icon!"
After Mr. Leng appeared on the stage, bursts of cheers erupted from the audience.
Many people were attracted by Marshal Leng.
Leng Shao belongs to the kind of boy with a masculine temperament. He is different from ordinary Internet addicted teenagers and has a special temperament about him.
In addition, he has a very good figure and is not short in height. After wearing clothes, he has a good figure.
Wearing a Dior original jacquard black cotton wool jacket, underneath a white cotton shirt with sealed jewelry embroidery.
Leng Shao, who is born into the second generation of rich people, has already defeated many contestants with a stooped figure due to his temperament.
His set of clothes already costs 20,000!
I have to say that in terms of appearance, Leng Shao really surprised many people.
The ring he wears is a Crow Heart gold and diamond ring worth 138,000.
Among professional players, Leng Shao is considered to be one of those with particularly good family conditions.
Unlike many Internet-addicted teenagers, Leng Shao's native family is very wealthy.
When the players in the team earned a monthly salary of several thousand yuan, the shoes Mr. Leng wore were more than 10,000 yuan~
Playing a profession is a hobby, if you don't do well you have to go back and inherit the family business.
Zero, who was standing not far from Mr. Leng, was wearing a team uniform. When the camera showed the two of them, a gap instantly appeared.
Zero is like a loser.
"What a fool! Cold dog is handsome!"
"It's really embarrassing to be in the same room~"
"Let me tell you, Young Master Leng is really good."
"Let me tell you, Leng Gou's outfit costs more than 160,000 yuan, and those who work professionally are really rich~"
"Draw a good lot, nothing else matters!"
Ren Dong said loudly: "Icon is invited to draw the four teams from Pool 1..."
Mr. Leng put one hand in his pocket and reached into the glass jar with the other and began to stir the black balls.
The first team he drew was RNG.
On the big screen, the RNG team logo appeared in the upper left corner.
The second team drawn is MSF, floating in the lower left corner.
The left side is one half area, and the right side is the other half area.
In other words, assuming both teams can advance, RNG's opponent in the top four will be MSF!
“Good sign!”
"Leng Shao Niubi!"
"666!"
For RNG fans, MSF is undoubtedly a very weak opponent, and it is still very comfortable to be in the same half zone with them.
Compared with the two teams LZ and CP, MSF is obviously much weaker.
RNG doesn't have much confidence against these two teams, but it doesn't have to worry about MSF.
Afterwards, Leng Shao once again drew the CP team logo and it appeared in the upper right corner.
Finally, the remaining LZ automatically appears in the lower right corner.
LZ and CP will meet in the top four!
"Hell, these two top four teams will meet?"
"It feels like it would be very difficult to recreate the scene from S6~"
"The competition between these top four feels like the intensity of the finals~"
LZ's assistant Gorilla's face changed, her expression was tense, and she was not as relaxed as before.
LZ and CP both qualified with a clean win, and are theoretically similar in strength.
But given CP's results and competition performance, LZ is still very afraid of this opponent.
They didn't want to run into CP prematurely, but they didn't expect to be divided into half zones.
Then, Mr. Leng started to draw the second lot.
There are four small balls placed in each of the two glass jars. In the first glass jar are the four first-place teams in the group, and the other four are the second-place teams in the group.
Now the draw will determine the opponents in the quarterfinals.
Leng Shao was the first to draw WE, and there was a direct civil war!
"Oh no, is this going to be a civil war?"
"It's not possible to draw lots with a cold dog, fuck fuck fuck!"
"I'm convinced, it's really a scam."
"I also want to see three LPL teams enter the semi-finals, but it seems there is no chance~"
WE's fans broke through and started to criticize Mr. Leng for drawing lots.
RNG fans are not particularly excited. On the contrary, they do not want a civil war.
At this time, someone jumped out.
"It's all WE's fault for not living up to expectations. If we could get first place in the group, wouldn't there be a civil war?"
"That's right, the civil war now is not WE's problem!"
"I hope WE will get out and let RNG advance. Then CP and RNG will be in different halves. I hope they can meet in the finals!"
"+1, now it looks like there is a high probability of civil war in the LCK. LZ may have to fight one of the SKT or LZ teams."
While the barrage was still discussing the remaining rounds of the lottery, Mr. Leng took action again.
This time, the SSG team logo was taken out.
SSG floated below CP, and they will face CP in the quarterfinals!
When the SSG team logo was taken out, SSG top laner Cuvee's expression almost made him cry.
But when I saw the camera, I had to smile again.
This smile is extremely ugly and forced.
Afterwards, lqs and cuvee walked to the center of the stage to shake hands, and then returned to where they were standing before.
"Haha, cuvee is going to cry~"
“Korea WE points E!”
"Holy shit, this is even worse, cuvee's face changes instantly."
"I feel a little sorry for SSG. It's really not easy to get through it all the way."
"Yeah, I fought for the last spot in the bubble match, and got double-killed by RNG in the group stage. Now I have to fight against CP again. It's torture!"
cuvee was really dumbfounded.
In fact, he would rather play LZ than CP.
After all, LZ and them are in the same LCK league, so the two sides know each other relatively well.
When SSG fights LZ, it can have more response plans and strategies.
But compared to CP, except for the training matches, the two sides have no interaction at all.
Facing CP, SSG is more difficult to fight.
Both CP and LZ are the most powerful teams. No matter which opponent they face, it will be a very strong and difficult journey for SSG.
cuvee has been praying in his heart that MSF will be drawn in the lottery.
Among the four No. 1 seeds, MSF is the softest persimmon.
That is to say, the average level of Group D is the worst. If the opponents of these two groups are placed in other groups, both teams may not be able to qualify.
Later, FW was assigned to LZ, and Gorilla smiled happily.
FW is also the weakest opponent among the second seeds.
This basically allows them to advance to the semi-finals without any pressure.
The entire LZ team in the audience laughed very happily. Their opponents in the top eight made them temporarily forget about the CP they would face in the top four.
Of course, they also hope in their hearts that SSG can win the best against CP.
Even if they are not opponents, I still hope that SSG can play CP things as much as possible.
At the end of the lottery ceremony, Ren Dong waved his hand and shouted to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Let's see you in Guangzhou in a week!"
The quarterfinals will be held at the Guangzhou Stadium.
After the draw ended, this draw also became a hot search topic.
"Master Leng's drawing of lots really doesn't work. The strongest and the weakest are all lumped together."
"Yeah, he couldn't push SSG to LZ's side to fight the civil war, but instead pushed WE to RNG's side~"
"Is Cold Dog a spy?"
"It's really a scam. Why can't I draw FW on CP? Isn't this a sure way to advance?"
"It's not easy to play, the top four of RNG will play SKT, the top four of CP will play LZ..."
"Why did RNG default to playing SKT, but couldn't WE?"
"WE fans, just shut up. The league hasn't beaten you enough yet?"
"Stop arguing. If you think in a positive direction, there is a real possibility that RNG and CP will meet in the finals, as long as both teams can defeat their opponents in the top four!"
"For both LCK and LPL, it may be the finals of a civil war in the division. I don't know if we can see this scene."
Since S3, the final stage of LCK has always been against LPL.
The audience in their division also hopes to see the Korean team play in the finals.
Isn't this the case with LPL?
The vast majority of people are not satisfied with this lottery result.
They even thought that dragging a random dog would be better than the lot drawn by Leng Shao.
CP fans are also a little anxious.
It's not because of SSG, but because of LZ.
These two teams are both historically dominant teams. When the top four collide, it will definitely have an impact like Mars hitting the Earth!
