Chapter 665: The Opening Battle of the Top Eight! (4300)

After KG's interview was broadcast, overseas viewers praised it, feeling that KG perfectly demonstrated traditional Chinese culture, and this team was obviously super strong but overly modest and low-key.

The sailors of the domestic LPL are very clear about the urine of KG, and they have joked happily, feeling that KG is yin and yang weird and disgusting.

Think about it too.

You've won six out of six battles and slaughtered Group D.

That's it, you're not that strong? You're not treating other teams as people, huh?

It is said that when the AFS people heard the interview, they were so angry that they couldn't do it.

In an interview with the Korean media, Kuro bluntly called KG and had a chance to meet again in the quarterfinals.

The end of the group stage is the quarterfinals.

In order to avoid the collision of the four group stage winners, the four group stage winners are in the same draw pool, and the four teams that finish second are drawn.

And KG is in group D,

The tournament was also on the last day of the second round, and they finished the match, and the teams that have qualified from the four groups have all been confirmed.

BMG and FNC in Group A played the group stage playoff, but unfortunately it was FNC who won, so the two teams in Group A became SKT, which won all six games, and FNC, which won the place in the play-off, qualified.

As for BMG, which was assigned to the group of death, he reluctantly ended this World Championship trip.

It is said that the tiger god in the middle of the road bought a ticket in advance and flew back to Huaxia after the game ended the night before.

As for the other three groups, the qualifiers are as follows.

Group B: KT, 100T.

Group C: AG, J2.

Group D: KG, AFS.

Not surprisingly, all three teams in the LCK advanced, two teams in the LPL, and two teams in the European region, which can be regarded as fighting for the face of the host place in Europe.

The North American team only advanced to 100T, and the LMS in the bend division was completely wiped out, and the three teams looked very stretched when they went back.

This year's LMS performance is so poor, according to the league's latest regulations, next year's LMS slot will definitely shrink, and it is not impossible to even be banned and merged into other regions.

Speaking of AFS's call, if they are "lucky enough", it is indeed possible that they will meet KG in the quarterfinals and score a brace or something.

It's just that when Kuro said this, Ma Run, who was standing next to him, twitched his face a few times, and looked at Kuro who was talking next to him expressionlessly.

Are you sure you want to fight KG again?

In contrast, Ma Run would rather draw the first place in other groups, so that at least he can try his luck, such as SKT, the top spot in Group A.

Hit SKT,

Ma Run still has a lot of experience.

......

After the group stage of the S round, the draw for the group stage will be on October 17, which is three days later.

At that time, the star players who were unable to participate in this S tournament will be invited to draw lots, and in the past few years, players from other regions have been invited to draw lots.

Feng Shui takes turns, and this year comes to my house.

The player in charge of this year's lottery is the man from the LPL Guodian team, who can be called the "living fossil" of the league's dream chaser factory director promise, which is what everyone calls the seven sauces.

The results of the draw will determine the opponents of each team in the quarterfinals, and it can also be said that they will dominate the world from a "different angle".

Netizens burst into tears after seeing Riot's announcement.

"Village Netcom? Seven sauces are in the World Championship? ”

"Seven Sauces: Worlds? Isn't it still being toyed with and applauded by me? ”

"Indeed, whoever fights the day after tomorrow depends on the results of the draw for Qijiang."

"You know a hammer, it's obvious that Qi-chan broke the rift in time and space and allowed EDE to re-enter the World Competition."

“......”

There was a heated discussion on the Internet, and three days later, the draw ceremony for the World Championship of the quarterfinals arrived.

The venue is still at the Mercedes-Benz Center in Berlin, and Qi-chan is dressed very refreshingly today, wearing a tie, and her hair is also permed with tin foil.

Not to mention, it's really a little handsome.

And Qichan, as an ancient general of S2, although he has not won any championships, is no less familiar than Uz1 for European and American audiences.

As for the top eight teams waiting to be drawn to decide their opponents, this time not all the teams came up, but each team sent a representative to line up at the front of the stage at one time.

Not surprisingly, the representatives are the face of the team.

For example, SKT's Faker, AFS's Ma Run, Team 1, of course, is the team's face Li Xiufeng.

However, today's Li Xiufeng did not become the focus of the lottery, and when the lottery began, the director's camera kept cutting around Faker and Ryu's faces.

Obviously, the grudge between the two old enemies, Faker and Ryu, can be said to run through the development of the league's events.

The scene of the double robbery operation has made countless audiences around the world talk about it.

Uprooted from his homeland, Ryu left for Europe, but this time, he was back in front of SKT.

In this quarter-finals, SKT is the top team in Group A, and Ryu's 100T is the second place in Group B, so theoretically the two teams will have a chance to meet.

"Ryu: Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi..."

"Still put this rap aside, wake up quickly, this horse has been riding for a hundred years."

"Anyway, it's not really SKT hitting 100T, right?"

“......”

On the stage, next to the draw pool.

Under the guidance of the staff on the side, the factory director put his hand into a sealed box and fished out a colored ball that looked like a gacha.

The factory director picked up the gacha and grinned, and his appearance dropped a few points.

But that's okay, that's not the point.

At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the gacha in the hands of the factory director.

The director of the factory also had no ink, so he quickly twisted it away and took out the note inside.

The director's camera is zoomed in,

Gave a close-up on the note.

LPL, Team AG.

After the staff next to them confirmed, the first team to be "paired" successfully appeared on the huge screen at the back of the stage.

The first round of AG vs. FNC!

Next, one by one, the "gacha" was drawn out one after another.

The second round of KT vs. J2!

The third round of SKT vs. AFS!

After the first three groups were drawn, the factory director smiled and looked at the last gacha in the lottery pool.

There are four groups in the quarterfinals, and three groups have been released at the moment, and the remaining group is actually self-evident.

But the director reached out and took it out.

In the fourth round, KG vs. 100T.

The moment the lottery results were announced, the audience in the live broadcast room also swiped the screen wildly.

"AG hit FNC? It's okay, right..."

"Does SKT play AFS? Faker's revenge on Ma Datou? ”

"Don't say it, this wave of LCK civil war is very profitable."

"KG's team is too lucky, the group stage is the chosen group, and now the quarterfinals have drawn another 100T."

"Yue Lun: Are you talking about your horse, who do you look down on your brother?"

“......”

In fact, it is not surprising that the domestic audience thinks that KG has taken advantage, but it is really because the 100T team is a new team in the North American LCS region, and the full name of the team is 100 Thieves, which is a League of Legends team owned by the NBA team Cleveland Cavaliers.

However, don't look at the 100T entering the World Championship for the first time this year, but the team configuration is not low at all.

Top laner Ssumday, South Korea's ancient top laner, and ONG's big brother Going, belong to the pinnacle of the same era.

After KT formed a super luxury lineup, he became a rebel and left, joined North American DIG, and then gradually became the core of the team.

Ssumday not only has a personal average supplement, average economy, and kill participation data, but also won the DIG to the regional finals.

Transferred to 100T this year, Ssumday has become the undoubted top list in the European and American leagues, and has become the cornerstone of 100T together with Meteos and Ryu.

As for Ryu, needless to say, it can be called the "contemporary Goujian" in the e-sports industry, second only to Ultraman Ace's bar, a new generation of bar owners, who have been lying on salary since leaving the LCK, and have been traveling to many European and American teams.

He wasn't there to prove anything, he just wanted the man to know.

What he lost,

I will definitely get it back with my own hands.

Therefore, the 100T team can probably be seen as the Korean renegade Avengers, and the biggest desire to enter the world championship this time is to take revenge on the Korean team.

However, the director of the factory "did not allow it", so 100T met KG on the road to revenge.

......

"It's a pity."

After knowing the result of the draw, Xiao Yu couldn't help but shake his head, he can remember what AFS said in an interview with Kuro after the group stage.

And after the two rounds of the group stage, Xiao Yu gradually gained some experience in playing this team and playing Spirit in the wild area.

He felt that if he really met in the quarterfinals.

Then he can not only win, but also get up to Kerry, and naturally have a little expectation in his heart.

But it's different when you encounter 100T, and Xiao Yu doesn't know about this team at all.

When he was in the World Championship for the first time, he was not familiar with the playing style of European and American teams, which felt like reviewing before the exam, but he found that he had changed the question during the exam.

On the way back, the AG team and KG and others who drew FNC also looked at each other and smiled, wished each other a few words, and said goodbye in the semi-finals.

Speaking of which, if both teams can advance to the quarterfinals, the chances of meeting in the semifinals are really not small, and Theshine is also a little eager to try when she looks at Li Xiufeng.

AG is different from the BMG team that was eliminated by this year's abnormal performance, they lost the first day of the group stage, and then suddenly exploded.

In the two rounds of the group stage, AG won five consecutive victories, and finally qualified for the quarterfinals as the first in Group C.

In this way, this year's AG is also the favorite team to win the LPL.

After the two teams dispersed in the hotel, they went back to study their opponents, and it is always the truth of esports to despise the opponent strategically and value the opponent tactically.

There is never a 10-10 game in this world.

No matter how strong the team is, no matter how weak the team is, it is not impossible to overturn.

This requires each team, from the players to the coach, to have a full understanding of the opponents they are going to face before the game.

If you don't have a little understanding, you will definitely lose the game in an upset, and it will definitely be unacceptable to anyone.

......

At the same time, the 100T team.

When Ryu returned to the hotel, he locked himself in his room and went to the sink to wash his face.

After washing his face, he slowly dried his face and put his glasses back on.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ryu feels that he seems to have gained a little weight compared to South Korea, and who makes Europe eat hamburger steak at every turn?

But I'm not here to eat steak!

Yue Lun suddenly clenched his fists, and in the mirror, his thick face was unprecedentedly solemn, and there seemed to be a slight flicker in his eyes.

Three years can be a lot to forget.

But Yue Lun did not forget.

To this day, Yue Lun still clearly remembers that game, the highland tower, the shadows of the two wild dances...

Speaking of which, it wasn't easy to make it to the Worlds again.

Last year's World Championship Yue Lun shined with H2K and reached the semi-finals.

Later, he moved to North America to join the P1 team.

However, the team crossed, and the summer game was only relegated, and finally lost the seat of the league system.

Just when the previous time was bleak, Yue Lun, who became a free man, joined the current 100T again, reunited with coach Pr0lly, and entered the S competition again.

This time, he won't let himself be left with regrets again.

Bang bang bang——!

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Yue Lun straightened his slightly wet hair in the mirror, turned around and walked to the door, and opened the door.

Standing outside was Ssumday.

The two smiled at each other, and after Ssumday entered the door, Yue Lun looked up at the corridor before turning around and closing the door.

At the end of the hallway, after the corner.

100T's support, Aphromoo, a legendary player of CLG, who has the title of "the first Delevin in American clothing", retracted his gaze with a strange face.

"It's the third time..."

Apromoo muttered under his breath.

This is the third time he has seen the team's top and middle laners enter a room.

At first, he thought it was a Korean custom and didn't pay much attention to it.

But after witnessing this scene one after another, Aphromoo gradually came up with some strange ideas, and curiosity drove him to come over.

Tipping into Ryu's hotel room, Apromoo quietly pressed his ear to the door, he was the most educated man in the team, and he also knew a little about Korean in order to facilitate the competition.

Babbling,

There was a slight noise coming from inside the room.

"Don't! Not now, bear with me a little longer! ”

"No, not there."

"Ahh I'm dead..."

Hearing the voice inside, Aphromoo's face flashed abruptly.

But at the current stage of the World Championship, although he does not despise this, he definitely does not advocate it.

Apromoo fell into deep thought.

At lunchtime, how do you remind these two people in a tactful way?

......

In the room, in front of two computers.

In the custom mode on the screen, both Ssumday and Yue Lun have chosen the same hero.

Lord of the Shadow Stream, Doom!

After another wave of Solo, Ssumday tilted his head and said to Yue Lun, "Why can't you do it there?" You're going to have to make me fight back with half a blood under the high ground? ”

"That's right."

Yue Lun nodded heavily.

Ssumday sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but say, "It's not that I said, what's the use of you training this, even if you kill me, there is no blind selection in the current competition." ”

Yue Lun slowly raised his head when he heard this.

"You don't understand,

I'm going to overcome,

It's me. ”

......

Time flies, in order to avoid the enthusiasm of the world's league audience being consumed by time.

The schedule of this S competition is quite tight, and the first round of quarterfinals will begin on October 20.

AG vs. FNC.

The format of the quarterfinals is B05, and it is the fiercest battle between teams.

After the group stage, there are many popular players in the top eight teams.

Like Faker, Lee so-feng, Theshine, Smeb, Paw, Rekkles...

These have become hot words discussed during the period of water friends in audiences all over the world.

FNC from the European region Before the start of the competition, the popular female singer Taylor Swift also posted a new update on her personal Twitter to cheer for FNC.

The night before the game, the well-known Chinese actress Baby also sent blessings to AG's quarterfinals on Weibo.

Retweeted comments, and quickly had nearly a million likes.

For a while, the first round of the quarterfinals of this year's S competition has not yet begun, and it has attracted the attention of countless people around the world.

On the day of the game, the KG group also came to the scene, and they still needed to show their faces in the opening game.

When he met his opponent 100T three days later, Li Xiufeng always felt that the other party was looking at him, but his eyes seemed to drift farther away...

......
