That night, in the hotel's temporary training place until late at night, Chen Zilan stretched and returned to the room, saw Tang Xiaotang reading things on his laptop, and immediately leaned his head over and asked, "Is this ......?" ”

"ESPN's Team Rankings." Tang Xiaotang pointed to the ID of the Twitter account owner, and then sighed, "It's so fast, ESPN, we just finished the group stage today, and the top eight combat power rankings will come out." ”

She finished the game in the afternoon, went to the shower after returning to the hotel, and felt tired after taking the shower, so she fell asleep, and when she woke up and looked at Twitter, she found that ESPN had sorted out the ranking echelon of the top eight teams at the speed of light.

Among them, the T1 team is TL and IG, the T2 team is SKT, G2 and Griffin, the T3 team is FNC and FPX, and the T4 team has only one, which is the lLMS's lone seedling MAD - basically based on the performance of the group stage, otherwise as the No. 1 seed, Little Phoenix should never be reduced to the T3 queue, so it should be given a T2.

"Eh......"

Chen Zilan was a little surprised, took the notebook and took a good look at it, and found that the author was still remarking "I personally think TL >IG" below, and immediately doubted, "This ESPN shouldn't be poisoning us, right?" ”

She ended up playing IG today, and the wild area was about to be rotten by King Ning, and she didn't feel very good when she played DWG, and it was thrilling to win twice, you must know that these are two No. 3 seeds, not No. 1 seeds.

If it goes on like this, let alone reaching the finals, it feels difficult to get into the top four.

"No matter, poisonous milk is poisonous milk." Tang Xiaotang shook his head, and then asked, "What's the situation with the group draw, who are we going to play in the top eight?" She didn't watch the live broadcast of the quarterfinals draw.

"Hit G2." Chen Zilan said.

"Alas......" Tang Xiaotang sighed, Derpy was listless.

TL is the first in the group, and will not meet the other group winners, nor will they meet the second in the same group, so the opponent will only choose one of the three MAD, FNC and G2. And among them, the weakest is naturally MAD is correct, followed by the second weakest is FNC, and the strongest G2, as a European galaxy battleship, has the strength to go up to at least the top four.

Originally, Tang Xiaotang was still thinking that with a two-thirds probability of encountering a good fight, no matter how hard it should be, it shouldn't be too difficult, but it turned out that he really met the most difficult one, which is inevitably too non-chief.

I can only say that the luck is not very good.

Of course, it's not that Tang Xiaotang is afraid of G2 - from MSI to intercontinental competitions, TL has never lost to G2.

But don't be afraid to return, it's really hard to fight, if you're not careful, you may overturn, and the difficulty is definitely above DWG.

Now we can only hurry up and prepare, otherwise it will be too sad if the car really overturns.

……

Days of preparation rushed by.

On October 26th, the first game of the quarterfinals finally began, and IG also lived up to expectations with a 3:1 crushing momentum, swept the second seed Griffin of the LCK, and advanced to the semifinals.

Subsequently, in another BO5 of the day, Little Phoenix also defeated FNC with a score of 3:1, and successfully met IG in the semi-finals - this three-to-one has changed a lot of outside perceptions of FPX, although FNC is not strong, but it can also be seen that Little Phoenix is not only the strength of the T3 echelon, so early the next morning, ESPN's editors included FPX in the T2 queue.

Then, on October 27th.

After SKT swept MAD at BO5, the last BO5 of TL and G2 quietly arrived.

"Grass, the game is about to start, the war between Europe and the United States, I'm so nervous." There are still ten minutes before the start of the game, and in the Twitter comment area of TL, some North American netizens commented.

From MSI to Continental, this year has actually experienced a lot of G2 and TL European and American battles.

Among them, if you only look at MSI, it is TL>G2, which is equal to NA>EU in disguise, but if you count the continental races, the result is EU>NA.

So in a sense, in this year's European and American wars, EU and NA each scored one point and tied the game, and now this BO5 of TL and G2 has become the last battle between NA and EU, whether it is NA>EU or EU>NA, it will come to an end in this quarterfinals.

"Let's hope TL wins."

"Come on, Sister Zaozi, you are going to win the championship, don't stop!"

Soon, other North American netizens also sent their blessings.

Subsequently......

Wait for the players on both sides to sit down in the live broadcast screen, adjust the machine, and a few minutes later, the game will officially start, and the picture will directly enter the BP link.

In the first round of BP's first three hand bans, the blue TL chose to ban Pike, Lowe, and Chiana.

And the red side's G2 banned Pan Sen, Spider and Akali, this is also the old three of the red team in the face of TL, Pan Sen is too perverted, dare not let it go, the ghost knows what will happen if it is released, the spider is the version of the jungler, and it is the red leaf signboard, press it and press it off, not to mention the Akali of the small winter date, whoever releases it will die, which has been confirmed on MSI. (There is a mistake in the BP of IG and TL written earlier, and the red side IG did not ban Pan Sen, which has been corrected)

Finally, when the second round of BP is over, the TL on the blue side will take the lead in determining the lineup - top laner crocodile, jungler blind, mid laner angel, bottom lane Kasha + female tan.

The G2 on the red side is the top single Qinggang Shadow, the jungler prince, the middle single clockwork, and the lower road Xia + Titan.

"Wait a minute, blind jungler? Momiji actually chose a blind man to fight in the jungle? The last time she picked this hero was at the Spring Tournament, right? Seeing TL's lineup, an LCS commentator said with some shock.

His focus was originally placed on angels, after all, as a strong version of angels, this is the first time that Xiaodong Jujube has been selected, and nine times out of ten it is one of TL's hole cards, so it naturally cannot be ignored.

But after seeing the choice of jungler position, his attention couldn't help but be attracted to the past - blind junglers are not uncommon, and they are originally one of the mainstream junglers in the World Championship version, but Momiji will choose blind junglers, which is very surprising.

Doesn't she know how to play this hero?

On the TL side, after determining the lineup, it seemed to remember some of the experiences in the spring game, and impact also asked with some uncertainty: "Xiaozi, are you okay, you blind." ”

The last time Chen Zilan chose a warrior jungler was in the spring game half a year ago, at that time she was still a newcomer to the jungler, plus the hero pool is more inclined to the French jungler, and she was closed while fighting, although her state recovered later, but in the main competition, in the past six months, she has never chosen a warrior to jungle.

Now, her strength has definitely improved, which can be seen from the training match, but whether she can play at the level she should have, to be honest, is quite suspenseful, not to mention impact, even the Cain coach who made the decision is quite uncertain.

“…… I guess so. Chen Zilan hesitated.

She doesn't play the mainstream jungler of the blind in the rank, but the game and the rank are completely different things, and the frequency of online fights in the rank is very high, which makes it easy for her to take any jungler, but the game is different, the players on both sides rarely go up during the game, and she is completely unsure whether a hero like the blind can seize the opportunity and do things.

"Don't hesitate so much, isn't it good to lie to me, I trust you very much, you will definitely come on the road to help me catch it, right, right, nana?" impact。

"......" Chen Zilan.

The psychological pressure suddenly became even greater.

"Don't panic, Xiaozi, I'm here." At this time, Tang Xiaotang spoke, and while calming Chen Zilan's nervousness, he handed his pocky to Chen Zilan's lips, "Come, open your mouth, ah~~"

"Ah~~" Chen Zilan subconsciously opened her mouth and took a bite of pocky, but she quickly reacted and shook her head shyly, "What about the game, don't stuff snacks into my mouth." "I always feel a little embarrassed to interact so intimately in front of tens of millions of viewers.

"What do you know, I'm adding a buff to you, it has a healing effect." Seeing that Chen Zilan ate pocky, Tang Xiaotang took back the remaining half of pocky with a smile, and ate it with relish - she had ordinary pocky in a bag of pocky, and there were also explosive biscuits, she just randomly drew one for Xiaozi, as for whether she can draw explosive biscuits, it depends on whether Xiaozi is the emperor or not the chief.

After a pause, Tang Xiaotang continued: "Alas~ Who made me a little angel of the healing department!" ”

What kind of little angel are you, the little devil is about the same......

Chen Zilan pursed her lips and didn't take it to heart. It's not a day or two of stupid hair talking nonsense, from secondary two speeches to narcissistic speeches, it's better to focus on the game.

However, when BP ended and entered the game screen, she began to feel different.

Wait a minute...... Where are my nervous, anxious negative emotions?

Suddenly getting better?

Is your ability to adjust your mindset that strong?

Could it be that he was really cured by the dull hair essence?
