Chapter 227: Qualifying Battle

Unlike the first round, the second round of the group stage is also known as the qualifying match.

Four days!

Each day, one of the teams will play the remaining round of match-ups between the teams, which is six games, to determine the qualifying spot.

If a team scores a tie in the group stage and the right to qualify and qualify will be affected, a separate play-off will be played until all results are clear.

A one-day battle for life and death!

The winners keep going, and the losers go home!

Compared with the first round, the second round of the group stage can be said to have completely rendered the atmosphere of the world championship with the word cruel. But that's what makes Worlds so fascinating.

For both the players and the audience, they can't stop!

Among the four groups, Fnc, SKT, and iG, which ended with a complete victory record in the first round, can be regarded as the easiest.

To put it bluntly, Fnc and SKT are now working on a knockout match.

But iG doesn't.

It's not that MAFA is very down-to-earth, but that the next posture needs to be readjusted to play tactically.

There are two reasons for the upper posture.

The main thing: to train and improve the condition of the other four players in preparation for the next knockout.

And then, also because of the champion skin, the substitute champion skin.

Who hasn't had a little ambition yet?

Since he is standing on the world competition, he is competing for the gold cup as the champion of the "world's No. 1 division".

It would be ridiculous if the goal was not to win the championship!

LOL is not the NBA.

The "championship base" may bring a mental gain, but the effect is not as impressive as expected.

So the NBA's "never take a champion's heart lightly" narrative doesn't work here.

Riot designers have shown with practical actions: I am the father, and the version is the god!

Therefore, for professional players in League of Legends, an important factor in determining whether it is strong is absolutely indispensable: adaptation and mastery of the new version.

Players form teams, so teams fit this law as well.

So, mafa is not fake SKT at all, just like EDG in the league.

But the road must be taken step by step, with lofty ambitions and down-to-earth.

After the group stage, it will really be a knockout round with one step of heaven and one hell. How to use this time to sharpen the team's condition has become the only goal of MAFA and the coaching staff.

At this time in China, the "E-sports Wang Jingwei" incident caused by Tabe's "breaking news video" still happened.

It's just that this time the protagonist of the revelation is not iG, it's LGD.

But because LGD won AHQ, the storm of public opinion is far less violent than in previous lives.

EDG Sanshao's pai luan diary is still being updated.

It is written quite meticulously, and the serial numbers are arranged: Day1, Day2, Day3......

Well, Sanshao is a strong man, one a day. It is estimated that it is a blood transfusion and a row, otherwise the aunt who has been going on for so many days would have died a long time ago?

The style of writing is quite profound, and the pen power is very prominent, which is particularly thought-provoking. It's a pity that I didn't submit the manuscript and sign the contract, otherwise at least the first order of high-quality products.

And in the midst of the disturbances, the qualifying battle for the second round of the group stage finally kicked off!

The first day of the qualifying match: Group A fights.

There are no LPL teams, so the viewing experience of Chinese players is quite relaxed.

The Lightning Wolves from Wanwan and the KO team from LCK won the right to qualify.

Day 2 of the qualifying match: Group C competition.

Huaxia players are a little more serious.

However, because of the great confidence in EDG's qualification, the serious aspect is mainly due to the second meeting between EDG and SKT.

The result of the first round: EDG lost completely.

And what about the second round? Will EDG get back to form and teach SKT another lesson like msi?

Facts have proved that EDG did not disappoint the Chinese audience, and the Chinese audience still thought too much about the expectations of the "luck" mentality.

In this game, Faker pulled out his bald head again. Other teams and professional players basically didn't value it before, thinking that it was a bald head that had been abolished!

But Faker suddenly flashed when he was in the game for 15 minutes, and two sets of cards that killed the pawn general proved that this bald head is really strong!

I never live up to the adage "I'm bald, I'm strong"!

For a while, everyone was stunned at why the damage of this bald head can be so high?

In 15 minutes, kill a full-blooded, time-sticker, and almost immobile card that has been controlled from beginning to end!

Who would dare to believe this?

The live director replays the single-kill replay: when the pawn general cuts the blue card to replenish the gun cart, W enters the moment when the CD cools. Faker seemed to be waiting for this moment, and flashed up without the slightest hesitation!

Jerking off two sets, which contain two W controls.

4 seconds, full health card GG!

For a while, the players of the other three groups of professional teams started the game one after another, trying to "make amends".

Soon, with the help of the coaching staff, the revised bald combo was roughly analyzed through the video of Faker's Ruiz game in the previous group stage.

And then...... No then again!

The pros took their hands off their keyboards and gave up.

With the template, it's easy to analyze combos, but it's too hard to practice!

Each layer of passive corresponds to a different combo, and there are different combos for different situations.

How to output the maximum combo, how to control the maximum duration of the combo.

It's a huge project that takes enough time to get started.

But now, where is the time?

It is said that sharpening knives in the battle is not fast and light, but it is in the battle, and it is already in the formation, on the battlefield!

......

SKT won easily, knocking EDG out in 23 minutes.

For the fourth win, SKT has already locked in the right to qualify in advance.

"Hehe~ You can play Ruiz!"

Looking at the SKT crowd on the screen who were smiling and walking towards EDG to shake hands, mafa pursed his lips proudly,

"Don't think I don't know, it's just that you're out there putting the news that we won't play Captain."

"Come on, come on, let's see!"

"Wait for the knockout round to meet you, see if Lao Tzuyin will kill you!"

Maybe at this moment, only Mafa can laugh out loud. Other teams, especially those aiming for the knockout rounds and who may encounter SKT in the future, are all trembling and terrified.

Fortunately, EDG did not collapse because of this big defeat.

Then there were two thrilling consecutive wins to qualify with SKT in second place in the group.

"Okay, Group A and Group C are over, and it's our turn tomorrow!"

Mafa stood up and clapped her hands.

"The preparations that need to be done have been done, and the foundation for qualifying in the first round has already been laid. Tomorrow, it's up to you! ”

His gaze looked at the gesture, lingered for a few seconds, and then swept over the four Rookie one by one.

"I have only one request tonight, don't sleep too late."

"Alright, disband!"

After eating, take a walk. went next door to find the factory director Pig Head, they talked for a while, and finally after chatting with Rita on WeChat, Jiang Miao washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Unexpectedly, the bedroom door opened, and the gesture walked out.

"Wouldn't it? I'm already quiet, waking you up? ”

"No, I didn't fall asleep at all!" The gesture waved his hand, indicating that it had nothing to do with Jiang Miao.

"Didn't you go to bed early?"

"I can't sleep, brother~" Scratching his hair irritably, he pointed to the sofa in the living room, "Come, talk to me for a while." ”

"I don't usually talk easily, especially at night, especially with a man, and alone."

"Ding~"

The WeChat of the mobile phone rang, Jiang Miao clicked on it and took a look, the red envelope!

The habit I developed in my previous life, I couldn't help but want to order it when I saw the red envelope.

"200 bucks?"

"Ding~Ding~Ding~"

It's another one!

"! What are you doing? ”

"Didn't you say that the price of your Wuhu is 500 to 800? It's not the night-charter kind! He put away his phone and patted the sofa next to him, "I'll give you the highest price, no night!" ”

"Come on, come on, sit on the uncle's lap, and communicate with the uncle!"

"I'm !!" Jiang Miao became angry on the spot, raised a finger and pointed at the gesture, "Is I, Jiang Miao, this kind of person?" You're insulting my personality by doing so! It's challenging my bottom line! ”

"So what?"

"So you don't want to insult my personality and challenge my bottom line at this price!"

"So...... Gotta add money! ”

"Ding~"

"Is that enough?"

"Enough is enough!"

Jiang Miao was satisfied now, ran over and sat down, patted her chest,

"I have the look you want, and I know all the postures you want!"

"Come on, uncle, tell me, how do you want to communicate?"

Attitude:......

The insomnia of posture is naturally due to tomorrow's qualifying battle.

The second round of iG is very interesting, the first game is KT, the second game is OG, and the third game is TSM, which can be said to be difficult first and then easy.

But this kind of schedule is actually the least liked by most professional teams.

Because e-sports pays attention to a game state, and the state is often based on playing.

It's smooth, how to fight, how to have. The feel is getting better and better, and the condition is the same.

And if you lose, your confidence will be damaged. Either adjust in time, or bottom out, otherwise it will be difficult to get back into shape.

But the schedule is difficult first and then easy!

The three matches of the second round will be played in one day tomorrow!

In other words, if there is an accident, there will be insufficient time for adjustment.

The posture is afraid of this, worried that he will live up to the trust of the team.

"Ah Shui, why don't you talk to mafa and them tomorrow and then adjust your tactics?" The posture was a little uneasy, and his face was full of anxiety, "Now this tactic is still too much for the allocation of resources on the road!" ”

"What? Are you worried that you can't afford this resource? ”

"Hmm!"

There is nothing to shy away from, and the gesture is very crisp and nodding.

"Are you worried that after eating this resource, you still won't be able to beat Ssumday?"

"That's right!"

"I said big brother! You're underestimating yourself, aren't you? Jiang Miao spread her hands very exaggeratedly, making a very exaggerated expression, "Do you think you have no results with me every day?" ”

"I ask you, are you serious when you solo with me?"

"Of course seriously! I'm sure I'm going all out in every solo game! ”

Gesture to raise a finger,

"Not even a single slack!"

"That's it!" Rolling her eyes, Jiang Miao relaxed and lay on the sofa, "It's right to pay attention to Ssumday, but he's also one of the three top singles in the LCK!" But are you taking it a little too seriously? ”

"Objectively speaking, I don't think you're worse than Ssumday in the slightest."

"Ssumday may be a little better than you in terms of overall awareness, or teamwork, but it's not much better."

"Most importantly, this is the S5 Worlds! It's the version of the order! The top order is the father, and the top order is the core of the team. Is it necessary for you to compete with Ssumday? ”

"Remember, it's your teammates who play with you in the early and middle stages, not your teammates!"

"As for the later stage, you have been familiar with our single-belt tactics for so long, why are you panicking? Bring it and you're done. ”

Seeing that the posture was still a little unbelieving, Jiang Miao simply released a fierce material,

"What do you think of Faker's laning strength?"

"Of course it's strong, he's Faker!" The gesture blurted out.

"Then if I say that Rookie's current laning strength is not inferior to Faker, do you believe it?"

Seeing that the gesture did not answer, Jiang Miao simply picked it up by herself,

"How about we make a bet?"

"I've bet on solo with me so many times, and Rookie's laning strength is not inferior to Faker."

pointed to the red envelope sent by the gesture on WeChat,

"I believe that as long as we keep winning, sooner or later we will meet SKT, and then it will be time to confirm the bet. These red envelopes, I will multiply them tenfold to give you a top-grade service in the magic capital. ”

"Hey, hey, what do you say?"

"Ma Dan~ Bet!"

Looking at Jiang Miao's confident expression, her posture was finally infected, and her confidence was also plucked up.

Seeing this, Jiang Miao smiled with relief. patted the shoulder of the gesture,

"OK, it's time for the escort service. If you don't add the bell, I'll just slip away! ”

"Sleep, sleep, farewell!"

As for the words in the gambling contract, they are half-truths and half-truths.

How much Rookie has improved his laning level because of solo training, Jiang Miao doesn't know.

What Jiang Miao knew was that Faker's alignment level had definitely dropped. When he chose to compromise, from the moment he was personally biased towards the team, he was destined for this outcome.

In fact, Faker also had to compromise, otherwise Hou Ye would dare to press him to death on the bench.

This is evidenced by the legend of Simon Ye's story in the previous life. The little fishman that Ximen Ye said is strong, but it is definitely not as strong as imagined.

If Faker wasn't transforming, it would be okay to miss once, how could he be killed by a veteran twice alone?

Jiang Miao had no intention of belittling Faker, but only wanted to mislead the posture:

With me solo for so long, your current line alignment level is absolutely fierce!

Don't panic, Ssumday he's a hammer, him!

......

"First of all, remind the audience, Ah Shui is very good."

"Drink well, sleep well, have a lot of energy, and eat well!"

"The reason for the rotation of stance, as MAFA said, is just a simple tactical adjustment!"

In the commentary seat, Doll Miller took the preventive shot in advance and explained.

Of course, in their opinion, including the majority of domestic audiences, iG's move is nothing more than to help the posture get enough qualifications in advance, after all, what if the S competition wins? You have to keep a hand for the champion skin!

But it must not be said explicitly, in order to avoid breaking the power of Joker and Xudong Daxian'er, and the poisonous girl who was hit by the fist.

Especially after the doll Miller deliberately talked about it and changed the topic with a smile, the domestic audience was more convinced of this and became more and more steady.

"OK, without further ado, what we're going to watch today is the qualifying match for Group D! First up is the battle between NA and EU, and Team OG vs. TSM! ”
