"Excuse me, what do you think of the opponent you will face today, the No. 1 seed ME from the LPL region?" Before the game, Riot interviewed Team GRG's top laner.

Hearing this question, the LCK's young top laner and South Korea's stable top 10 ranking knife smiled contemptuously.

"Before the Worlds, we knew that the only teams in the LCK were qualified to be our opponents. If I'm in the LPL, I'm probably still interested in playing YG. But ME, after watching the two games between them and KG, I don't think there is any threat to us. Today, I could have won the game 3-0 or 3-1. ”

The confident words and arrogant expressions soon made Korean fans scream, and the Korean forums were full of confident messages.

"This BO5 probably won't take 3 hours, although GRG is a little worse than KG and SKG in the LCK, but the top ten of the five powerful Hanbok kings are enough to make the LPL team experience what fear is!"

"There's no suspense in this game, let's end it quickly! I'm waiting to see the match between KG and G2. ”

LPL fans are indignant, but they are also beating the drums psychologically. After all, GRG's strength is there, and the first place in the LCK regular season is only inexperienced when playing in the playoffs, so he qualified as the third seed.

Their style is similar to that of the LPL's YG, with five players with extremely strong individual strength who can achieve a huge advantage in the laning phase. In terms of the dominance of the regular season, it is even stronger than YG!

"Hey, although this ratio is very arrogant, but people have this capital!"

"Indeed, if I were a knife, I would say the same, after all, ME is just better at playing weak teams."

Luo Luo looked at the pre-game interview and fan messages outside the training room, and was very angry, "These guys are too arrogant, wait until they are abused by ME, see what they say!" ”

Wan Rong covered Luo Luo's phone, shook her head and said, "Don't look at this." ”

Luo Luo glanced at the training room and whispered, "Can't I take a sneak peek?" ”

There is a rule in the team that players are not allowed to watch fan messages on the forum before the game to avoid affecting their mentality. In the case of staff, there is no explicit provision.

Wan Rong said very seriously: "The World Championship is very important, and all unstable factors must be eliminated. ”

Luo Luo glanced at Wan Rong ambiguously, and shook his head slightly, "Hey, it's worthy of a girlfriend who woke up." You two are so similar! ”

Wan Rong smiled slightly, "Then you and Kuang Di ......"

"No, I'm not like him! He looks so stumbling, how can he be as beautiful as me! ”

"Oh, then what do you like about him?"

"I call this marriage, do you understand?"

"You know, if you take it off the shelves, you won't be allowed to sell it."

……

"There's no need to hide everything when it's eight into four, and although GRG is ranked third in the LCK, its strength should not be underestimated. This one, you still have to go all out. "Su Xing was in the training room to do pre-war mobilization with the players.

Everyone was full of confidence and in the group stage, they retained some of their strength, so there was plenty of time to hone their new squad.

Not to mention, at least many of their hidden tactical routines have not been shown, which is equivalent to the quarterfinals they will have a lot of hole cards.

Manager Rufeng sent the two bosses to the front audience and came over to take a look at the players.

"How's that, wake up. Are you sure of today's game? Rufeng asked directly about waking up, skipping coach Ji An. Because he knows that the coach who really decides the tactics of the team at the moment is actually awakening.

Su Xing looked at Rufeng with an expectant face, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, today's game will end soon." ”

On the LCK side, the backstage of the KG team.

As the participating teams of the second game today, they also came to the arena in advance to prepare. After playing a few rounds of rank, I naturally saw the pre-match interview with the GRG team.

Jungler Scorpion saw the arrogant and domineering appearance of the knife, and a sarcastic look appeared on his face.

"When will this little ghost be so arrogant? Obviously, we were beaten 3-0 in the playoffs, and now the team playing LPL is trembling again! ”

Top laner Smab smiled lightly: "After all, they are playing the LPL team, not us and SKG." ”

Scorpion leaned over and said, "What do you think will be the outcome of today's first game?" ”

What the outcome he asks is not who will win. In fact, no one thinks ME can beat GRG. After all, although GRG's BO5 strength is weaker than KG and SKG, their strong strength is recognized by the whole world.

ESPN is ranked fifth, but in the eyes of LCK viewers, the reason why they can't be third is because of the face of other regions.

Smab thought for a moment and said, "It should be 3-0 or 3-1!" GRG's group of kids, although I don't like any ranking. It's not enough, it can be ranked in the top ten in Hanbok, and the strength is still okay. It's not a problem to play the LPL. ”

Scorpion shrugged his shoulders, "I think so too!" ”

"It's just ......," Smab remembered his awakened face, "GRG has a big chance of winning, but Knife has to suffer!" ”

Scorpion blinked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Smab smiled disdainfully: "Knife, this guy belongs to the abusive type of player. His strength is quasi-first-class at best. However, against players who are below the quasi-first-class level, they can perform at a first-class level. But in the face of first-class top-singles or top-notch top-lists, it will become second-rate. ”

"Then what level do you think his opponent is today?"

Smab thought of three fights with Awakening.

In the Sino-Korean star exchange competition, he fell behind. In the group stage, although KG won, it also played a greater role than him in terms of the line.

It was a taste he had never felt in the LCK, a strong laning ability, a ferocious and wild suppressive power. Even Smab, who is known as the No. 1 top laner in the LCK this year, has to deal with it carefully, and the slightest mistake will be killed by the opponent.

Smab closed his eyes, "Anyway, that's not an opponent he can win. If GRG wants to win the game today, all they have to do is hand over the sword to Nakano. ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the game began.

With all the spectators and tens of millions of fans around the world watching, this eight-in-four match between ME and GRG kicked off.

"LPL, come on!"

"ME, come on!"

The advantage of fighting at home brings the cheering of the ME team. GRG's players are playing the World Championship for the first time, and when they saw this more magnificent scene than in the group stage, they couldn't help but sweat a little in their palms.

"That's home advantage! It is the most populous country in the world. GRG mid-single XDD said.

Knife snorted disdainfully with his nose, "Soon, I will silence all Chinese!" ”
