The last day of the group stage, a big battle in Group D.
EDG, which had previously performed abnormally, actually bottomed out in the second round, or in other words, gradually regained its form.
The factory director used a blind monk, a widow, and an excavator to lead EDG to three consecutive victories.
EDG's record subsequently came to 4-2, keeping pace with C9.
AHQ, the only remaining European rabbit MSF and LMS, was unfortunately eliminated, ending the whole year's journey.
In the end, EDG defeated C9 in the extra round and secured the first place in Group D.
When the results came out, Zhuge Liang was somewhat sad.
In the previous life, the national electric iron "Lu San kneeled down" and "the economy of ten thousand yuan has Luo". He stopped in the group stage in shame, broke the record and refreshed the top 16, and once gave birth to countless famous memes.
However, due to historical changes, EDG did not fall into the death group, and activated top laner Ray in advance. They also participated in training camps with WE and RNG. Their hard power has increased significantly compared with the same period in the previous life.
Therefore, EDG qualified first in Group D, which was both unexpected and reasonable.
All three teams in the LPL have advanced to the knockout rounds, and because all three teams are ranked first in the group, it ensures that the LPL will not fall into civil war before the semi-finals!
The entire LPL turned into a sea of carnival.
"Damn it, EDG actually exploded. Is this still the Guodian I'm familiar with?"
"I feel comfortable. The LPL has taken the first place in all three groups. On the other hand, the LCK is the second best."
"LPL Niu Beer, strive to advance all members to the semi-finals and complete the suppression of LCK."
"After watching the global finals for so many years, this year is the most exciting."
"It's a pity that WE and SKT are in the same group to avoid it. Otherwise, how cool would it be for WE to send SKT home in the first round of the knockout round?"
"I hope the luck will be better in the future. It is best to draw C9 and G2. Is it better to avoid LCK?"
"Anyway, the sword is aimed at the championship, so why bother picking weak persimmons? Just kill them all the way and be done with it."
"Brothers, I hope we meet again at the Oriental Sports Center in the semifinals."
……
The group stage ended, and the subsequent draw ceremony for the knockout stage touched the hearts of countless players.
"Hello everyone, I am Ren Dong."
"Hello everyone, I am Yu Shuang."
Dong Ge, who was wearing a burgundy suit, appeared hand in hand with Yu Shuang, who was wearing a cheongsam embellished with red plums.
"There were 24 teams that once had championship dreams, but so far only the last 8 teams are left. Next, let us welcome them together, first of all, the teams that advanced to the knockout rounds as the No. 1 seed: WE, RNG, G2
,EDG!" Brother Dong introduced with great emotion.
The director then switched the camera, and in the center of the stage, the representative players of the four No. 1 seed teams stood in front of their team logos.
The representatives sent by the three families of LPL were A Guang, Xiao Ming and Xi Ye, plus a P who mixed in.
As the story goes, these four people stood together with an indescribable sense of joy.
The scene was full of people and all kinds of prairie dogs screamed.
"At the same time, let us give the warmest applause to welcome the teams that advance as the second seeds. They are SKT, LZ, SSG and C9!" Yu Shuang then introduced the four teams on the other side.
In comparison, Wolf, GorillA, CuVee and Jensen seem much colder and murderous.
After the eight teams were introduced, the two hosts began to read out the lottery rules for the knockout stage.
"Now that all the teams are ready, let us welcome today's lucky draw guests, the icon players from the OMG team!" Brother Dong announced the next lucky draw guests.
Wearing a luxurious suit and combing his hair like an adult, Mr. Leng walked slowly to the stage, smiled and waved to the audience.
As the brother-in-law's online dating partner, Canyon Tiantian is considered to be the face of LPL. What's more, he attended the lottery ceremony today and wore a brand-name outfit, clearing the blood tank of many female fans on the spot.
For a time, the lottery guest himself became the center of attention.
"Is this still the young master I know?"
"Damn it, I checked it out and found out that the ring finger of Mr. Leng's right hand is a 22k gold and diamond-encrusted Crow's Heart cemetery ring. The same model is priced at 130,000!"
"Did you see that shirt with three stars on the collar? Dior's new autumn and winter products this year, a shirt costs about 5,000, which is more expensive than all my belongings!"
"A coat costs more than RMB 10,000, and pants cost RMB 5,000 to RMB 5,000. Poverty limits my imagination."
"I'm so sad. I'm dressed for nearly 160,000 yuan. Could it be that Mr. Leng is the second generation of rich people?"
"I didn't expect that the plot in the novel would actually happen in reality. If you don't succeed in your career, you will go home and inherit the family business."
"Stop talking nonsense. Icon has clarified it many times. He is from an ordinary family (manual funny)."
"Well, maybe I found the secret why OMG failed to enter the World Championship?"
……
"Next, ask the icon to draw lots."
Under Brother Dong's instructions, Mr. Leng moved to the front of Pool No. 1.
He reached out and stirred in the glass jar, and Master Leng pulled out the first colored ball.
RNG!
On the big screen, the RNG team then appeared in Group A in the top half of the quarterfinals.
Mr. Leng continued to draw lots and turned away the second colored ball.
G2!
In the two empty columns of Group B in the upper half, the G2 team logo lights up.
Subsequently, EDG and WE were drawn one after another.
The two teams are settled in Group C and Group D in the lower half of the district respectively.
"Icon is invited to come to the No. 2 seed pool to draw lots." Yu Shuang reminded, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.
The next step is the key to deciding the quarterfinal showdown.
The audience held their breath unconsciously and stared at the four black balls in the glass jar.
The first colored ball was twisted open, and the lottery paper inside slowly unfolded.
SSG team!
The scene was in an uproar. Although the LPL and LCK had a high chance of colliding in the quarterfinals, they didn't expect that a comet would hit the earth.
Xiao Ming actually smiled quite happily. After all, judging from their performance in the group stage, SSG was at the bottom of the second seed pool.
However, when Xiao Ming happily walked to the center of the stage and shook hands with Withering, the SSG team logo appeared on the big screen in Group C.
Xiao Ming has a question mark on his face, and a withering look on his face.
Representatives from the other six teams burst into laughter.
"According to our lottery rules, two teams qualifying from the same group must not be assigned to the same half to prevent the two teams from meeting before the finals. Therefore, SSG will skip the upper half where G2 is located and enter the second half.
District, with EDG from Group C." Brother Dong explained.
The audience then recalled the rules introduced before and suddenly understood.
However, there doesn’t seem to be much difference. Anyway, they are all LPL teams playing SSG.
Many fans rushed to tell each other and cried with joy. They were lucky enough to get SSG this year. Can they finally break through to the top eight?
Mr. Leng continues to draw lots.
The second team is announced, C9!
Xiao Ming was smarter this time. He didn't go up to shake hands with Jian Huang until he saw the big screen showing that C9 was assigned to Group A where RNG was.
I lost an SSG and picked up a C9. It seems to be quite profitable?
The audience shouted that Leng Shaoshen drew two good draws.
