-359- Quarterfinals

"It's too strong, DME! Sister Jujube, this Anne is really top! ”

"It's really fake, DWG is gone? Even if it's in the group stage, it's not enough, right? ”

"It seems that it's not that SKT is too strong, it's that DWG is vulnerable?"

"Han Chui, come out and say something!"

"My wife is so annoying!"

After the curtain came down on this group C focus battle, in an instant, the audience in the LPL live broadcast room was excitedly filled with barrages such as "666", expressing their excitement.

That's right, before the start of this game, almost all the viewers and commentators in the outer regions have always believed that even if SKT is swept 3-1 in the spring finals, DWG is still a team strong enough to be among the top four in the world, even against the top three in the LPL, DME, TES or JDG, it can do five or five.

This may be due to DWG's dominance in the summer season, or the stream of impressions caused by the domination of the LCK in the past, but it is undeniable that DWG is still a favorite to win the championship even if they lose to SKT.

But now, after this group stage matchup, the difference in strength between DWG and the real top team DME has been vividly revealed.

Annie, a wolf-headed Anne who temporarily practiced in rank during the rest of the Worlds, was taken out in the first game of the group stage, so this was not even DME's bottom-of-the-box weapon, but it easily defeated DWG.

Even the LPL audience itself was surprised, not to mention the Korean audience who didn't know much about the strength of DME and was still full of confidence in DWG.

Soon, after the end of this bo1, Tang Xiaotang was immediately pulled by the LPL hosts for an interview, and asked about the wolf's head Anne's opinion, and Tang Xiaotang was not ambiguous, and immediately said that it was a passer-by in the ranking who had a good time, so he went to practice, and found that the performance was good, so he had an idea.

But this is certainly not telling the truth, after all, Wolf Head Anne itself is paired with a fast-paced snowball lineup, which needs to be run in for a long time in the training match, and it is not a temporary thought that it can be selected.

As for why it was so generously selected on the first day of the group stage, it was because DME also prepared another set of ultimate iron bucket arrays at the bottom of the box, which was the ultimate means of DME.

……

"What do you think?"

After the match between DME and DWG, in the hotel room, all SKT members who did not have a game to play today were also exchanging views with each other in the suite - for SKT, DWG does not need to care about the defeat of his subordinates, and DME, the No. 1 seed of the LPL, is the best enemy in his mind, and he will gather in the room to watch the game today, mainly for DME.

"DME is much stronger than DWG, and there is already a strength gap on both sides, just like DWG and us...... The same. Kim Kyung-so, who was in the corner of the room, said.

After S5's SKT fantasy lineup won the bet, SKT's current decision-making power has come into the hands of the five players, but in any case, Kim Jingzhu is the head coach on the surface, and he has to play BP when he plays, so after winning the summer final, the relationship between the two sides also has a bit of a sense of ice release, and Kim Jingzhu will still participate in BP, but the positioning is more similar to that of an assistant coach.

"The rhythm of Anne of the winter dates is too good." Bengi frowned, "This wolf-headed Anne should be something that DME intended to throw at the beginning, DWG strictly speaking, no DME hole cards have been played." ”

"If we were DWG, what would we do with this Annie? Anne of Winter Dates is so outrageous that she runs around like a ghost. Wolf asked.

"How about using Galio to deal with it?" Bang thought for a moment and said.

"No, Annie's explosion is too high, Galio is melee again, and the replenishment will be stunned, and it is too easy to be Gank by Annie and Nosuke." Faker shook his head.

"That'...... With clockwork? Bang suggested again.

"Anne of Winter Dates, Showmaker can't handle it with Zoe, so it's the same with my clockwork...... Her individual abilities are too strong for anyone to suppress at the moment, including me. Faker sighed, even in his peak state, he was not sure that he could suppress Winter Jujube in the lane, let alone that he was still in the process of returning to the top.

"What then?" Bang was helpless, as an ADC, what he was most worried about was that the rhythm of the early stage collapsed so that he didn't have a chance to take over the game in the later stage.

"There's no need to rush." At this time, Marin, who had been bowing his head and pondering, finally raised his head and said, "Anyway, DME and we are not in the same group, if we all qualify first in the group, then we will not meet in the quarterfinals...... Let's focus on TES first, as for DME's hand Anne, let's see if DWG can give us some ideas for reference when they play DME next time. ”

After a pause, he suddenly smiled again: "Don't be so nervous, we are in a good state now, we are stronger than any team, just play with a calm mind, besides, DME took out the wolf head Anne, don't we have hole cards?" By the time we get the last resort, no one will be able to stop us, including DME. ”

……

The first day of the group stage ended quickly.

In the subsequent fixtures, DME will also play TL and MAD respectively.

However, even DWG has been knocked down, and it is not difficult to defeat the LCS's old club TL and LEC's experience baby MAD, and after calculating the schedule time, the DME people are not nervous, and they are still playing training matches and ranks every day, and by the way, they are studying the teams of other groups to find solutions to the current version.

"TES lost to SKT...... Brother Li's clockwork is really outrageous, and it is another famous scene of the big move pulling four. ”

"The other teams seem to have regular lineups, and there is no black technology."

"That's for sure, there are few teams that dare to come up like us."

"The main reason is that Sister Zaozi's hero pool is too outrageous, and you don't panic at all if you take one and use it, anyway, the core of the game can be hidden."

"Tomorrow to play TL eh, there is still Annie to take Annie, TL banned Annie, let's take the regular lineup."

"It's best to watch TL release Annie, this hero belt is fast-paced, and you can boost and end the game in more than 20 minutes."

In the midst of such discussions, as the group stage schedule progressed, DME soon faced TL and MAD on the second and third days of the group stage, respectively.

There's not much to say about the process of these two games, both were short and quick.

Among them, TL did not choose to ban Annie, but chose to use the mid-laner Galio to try to hit hard.

But the support ability of Nosuke on both sides is no longer one side at all, when TL thinks that he is going to play midfield 2v2, DME will often drill out a PPGod unknowingly, and the result is naturally a blood collapse in the early stage, and in the middle of the game, there is a thrilling scene where the fire girl outbreaks out and Galio directly formation.

So after the game, jensen was frantically ridiculed by LCS netizens, and also moved some LPL stalks, such as the genuine mid-laner Xiaodong jujube hanging and beating the pirated mid-laner Jason, etc., while mocking jensen's dishes, while nostalgic for the time when he once had a jujube combination. But jensen is also very single, last year, when S9 was watching the water cooler in the team, he got a lot of guidance from Tang Xiaotang, and he was half a student, so he immediately posted a photo with Tang Xiaotang after the game and shouted, "Master is awesome", a wave of self-deprecation at the speed of light caught the sunspots off guard.

On the other hand, MAD, the fourth seed of the LEC, was much more honest against DME, seeing that DWG and TL were all defeated by DME's wolf-headed Annie, and banned Annie as soon as they came up.

However, it's a pity that MAD's own hard power is completely insufficient, even if the wolf head Annie is banned, and the two sides take some mainstream lineups to fight for hard power, they are still beaten so much that they can't find the north - Tang Xiaotang didn't take any unique skills, just a clockwork and a male gun with Chen Zilan, and easily achieved the advantage in the early and middle stages, and Ning Shuyu, who was on the road, chose his beloved Qinggang Shadow and defeated the crocodile on the opposite side in 1v1, and won the MVP of the game.

In this way, relying on the absolute suppression of hard power, after a few days passed in the group stage, DME easily won the first place in Group C with a complete victory record and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
