Chapter 300: Grouping
FPX in Group B, despite the setbacks in the first round, losing both the wild card and the LMS team, everyone always thought that they would be eliminated in the group stage like the fate of the previous No. 1 seed.
A lot of FPX fans are ready to scold FPX.
But in the second game, Xiao Tian was brave and won three games in a row and successfully advanced with a group score of 4-2.
CG, as the third seed in Europe, played brilliantly, winning the playoffs against JT and advancing as the second in the group.
Finally it was the last day of competition.
It seems to be both a suspenseful day and a desirable day.
Defending champion G2, RNG with the most fans in LPL, and Griffin, a dark horse force.
And today is the day to decide the quarter-finals.
G2, Griffin, and RNG, one of the three teams will definitely be eliminated.
The group of death mentioned before the game is finally going to kick off today.
With the passage of time, G2 won all three games with a proud record of 6-0.
Chen Nian's three top singles were inexplicable, and at the same time, they confirmed that they would qualify first in Group A.
And before the first round, RNG had a one-point advantage.
Although RNG was not favored before the game, many fans still looked forward to their promotion.
After two games, one win and one loss, the final battle will be played in G2 with a 3-2 victory.
And Griffin's side also has one win and one loss, with a 2-3 result, and will face elimination.
In the last game, Tarzan was brave, and Chovy also picked up the aura of a talented teenager, making the game sublimated again.
The winner of the play-off!
On the RNG side, it was clear that after losing the first game, there was a problem with the mentality.
The explanation in the early part of the second game was that UZI chose Ezreal three times, and in the last game, he tried his best to Kerry, but to no avail.
In the end, under the operation of Griffin, he successfully won the game.
The second seed in the LPL ended this time on the World Finals stage with a 3-4 defeat.
At this moment, many viewers and fans of LPL were silent.
They never imagined that the dynasty that they once wanted to establish would now become a stepping stone for others to climb the mountain.
I feel angry in my heart, but I have nowhere to vent it.
Many people ran out of tears at the moment when S8 ended.
And now, it seems, they only have blood to shed.
It was a sad night.
An unpleasant night for the LPL.
But on the European side, it's a very different picture.
European fans once again pulled up banners, still flamboyant.
The name of the "No. 1 team in the world" belonging to G2 is getting louder and louder.
And the audience became irrefutable about this, at least in the group stage, G2 showed the strength of the defending champions.
After the completion of the Group A competition, the group stage officially kicked off.
Next, there was an exciting group draw ceremony.
Fans in the LEC region expressed optimism, they felt that any team drawn by G2 would be a hanging, and the draw would make no difference to them in essence.
On the LPL side, it wants a "good sign".
If you win the championship, there may be other LPL teams to blame.
At this time, the three commentators on the commentary table were the three commentators that Chen Nian was very familiar with.
Guan Zeyuan, remember, the emperor of cats.
They are the three onmyoji of the canteen weekend night.
Guan Zeyuan looked at today's eight teams and analyzed the draw ceremony.
"Let's first look at the first place in each group, which is Group A, G2, which is invincible in the group stage, and Group B is FPX, the No. 1 seed of LPL, which did not perform satisfactorily in the group stage, but after adjustment, the performance was not bad."
"SKT in Group C, the former world champions, they are also the team that has won the Triple Crown."
"DWG in Group D, we are very familiar with the coach of this team, Coach Jin used to coach the IG team, and then transferred to DWG, and once again trained a strong top laner like Niu Guorui."
Then he remembered to answer and continued: "The team that is second in the group is in a passive selection, they will face the other group winners, and it should be noted that the same group is not half a district, that is to say, a team from a group cannot meet before the final. ”
Elvis: "Now the representatives of the eight teams have taken the stage. ”
I saw a relatively large stage appear on the screen.
On the stage are the players of each team.
There are basically no star players in the draw, and G2 sent a substitute top laner Wunder.
Originally, Wunder was reluctant to go on stage to draw lots, but Coach Roman said that this could be his only chance to appear in this tournament.
If you want to show up again, you can only wait until the moment of winning the championship.
Wunder thought it over and finally chose to take the stage.
The contestants go up not by lot, but by representation.
The draw was made by a relatively handsome little brother in Europe.
The draw began shortly.
The commentators in each region were also extremely nervous.
Soon, under the drawing of the little brother, the four No. 1 seeds came to different positions in different districts.
The G2, the most concerned point in Europe, is the last in the right half.
In other words, the team that is second in the group, which team is drawn later, and which team is unlucky.
The left hemisphere is FPX and SKT, and the remaining one in the right hemisphere is DWG.
After the No. 1 seed was determined in the first round, Guan Zeyuan was a little depressed, "Although G2 met DWG as expected, the left half of the region is not very good for LPL. ”
After all, LPL has been in fear of SKT all year round.
However, the second round of draws began soon.
The first is Griffin, followed by FNC, the third is the weakest CG in this group stage, and the fourth is IG.
The draw is over.
On the afternoon of the first day, FPX vs. Griffin.
On the first night, the DWG aligns with the FNC.
The next morning, SKT vs. IG.
The next night, G2 vs. CG.
"In this grouping, LPL is at risk of total annihilation!"
"Damn, won't it, Griffin and SKT meet in the semifinals, and LPL will be beaten back to its original form?"
"I think the worst is the DWG, the three LEC teams in the right half."
After seeing this grouping in the barrage, I couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, Chen Nian also swiped Weibo with interest.
Ah P bore the brunt of the work and began to do the whole thing.
The tweet was displayed ten minutes ago, that is, the tweet that had just finished the game.
The content of Twitter is simple and brutal, and it is eye-catching.
"Hahahaha, three teams have advanced, let's welcome the era of the LEC division!"
Immediately followed by a message from the boss, "Salary deduction, it's too slow, shouldn't you tweet after winning CG yesterday?" ”
The tweet has more than 10,000 comments, but it's all about celebration and encouragement, like the kind of troll that seems to have disappeared after their 6-0 run.
Then Chen Nian saw a tweet just posted by Roman, and the time of the tweet showed "just now".
"This grouping is really bad."
Jankos commented, "I originally thought it was the era of the LEC, but as a result, the top four were about to be eliminated by two? ”
Netizens also have different views on the grouping.
"You said CG lost to G2, I said there was nothing wrong with it, after all, they don't have fans, but do you really think FNC can't beat DWG?
"Compared to the right half, I still like the Sino-Korean battle on the left, which looks more intense, but the right side looks boring."
