Chapter 579: The Only Hope for Qualifying (Autified)
Second round of the group stage.
EDG's first day will be a fateful battle.
However, what silenced countless people was that EDG still lost in the first matchup against ROX.
For the audience and the commentators in the circle, this is a reasonable thing.
But who doesn't have expectations that EDG can show their former majesty and defeat the Korean team?
The all-out crushing game made the hearts of fans fall to the bottom.
However, in the next two games, EDG still won it steadily, and finally completed the counterattack with a 3/3 record and successfully qualified from the group.
It is worth mentioning that the C9 team also won 3/3 of the record, not only defeated ROX in the second round, but also defeated INTZ in both rounds.
According to the regulations of the World Finals, when the qualifying points are the same, the qualification quota will be determined by the winning and losing relationship between the two sides.
C9 had bad luck.
Obviously, the record is the same as EDG.
They also beat a powerful ROX, and in terms of form in the second round, they were the best adjusted in Group C.
But they were unlucky, and they were defeated by EDG in the first and second rounds of the group stage.
It is equivalent to being double-killed by EDG.
In other words, the two teams do not need to play an extra match at all to directly determine the place in the second quarterfinals.
EDG successfully made the cut.
There were many ups and downs in the process, and the win was not beautiful, but it was finally a step forward, which made many domestic fans slightly relieved.
Next, these fans only need to pay attention to the four teams that won the group in the quarterfinals.
The post bar forum began to have a lot of big hands to analyze.
"I think the first place in each group has basically been locked, Sac, ROX, SKT, RNG, from these four teams...... EDG would be on the top if they could meet RNG, after all, they had beaten RNG in the Summer Tournament. ”
"You can't say that, to be precise, unless they draw RNG, the other teams that draw are basically all drawn."
"My big EDG is invincible in the civil war, and I can fight it if I draw Sac!"
"Wake up, it's 6102 years and it's still a dream, EDG was pressed to the ground and rubbed by Sac in the spring and summer LPL league, you told me now that you want them to draw Sac? I'm afraid you're not a black fan. ”
……
Every day, new topics are generated about the S race, and there are also people who lead the rhythm.
The esports world is like that, it's chaotic.
In this atmosphere, in the blink of an eye, the three-day competition day passed quietly.
Six of the quarter-finals have been fully decided.
The first name in Group C is ROX.
Second EDG.
Group D is the first place RNG, and the second place is AHQ.
Group B tops SKT, followed by ANX.
It is worth mentioning that among all the teams that have appeared so far, not even one team has won all of them.
ROX lost one game to C9 and qualified 5/1.
RNG lost to TSM by a hand, also 5/1 out of the line.
And SKT was the most dramatic, they were beaten by their big brother ANX.
If it weren't for the fact that the rankings overturned in the CLG game, the Russian big brothers would have a good chance of getting the same score as SKT and competing for the top spot in the play-offs.
In a nearly hour-long duel, ANX defeated the mighty SKT.
The viewers who didn't watch the game that day were all hurt when they learned the news, and they were annoyed that they didn't watch the live broadcast.
How exciting was it to be able to push SKT into a desperate situation?
Now, only Group A matches remain unstarted.
Countless people are looking forward to it, and at the same time, emerging hot topics have also been pushed to the forefront of Weibo's hot searches.
"Will there be a team that wins all the groups in this year's S round and makes it to the quarterfinals? The only possible team, Sac, will reveal the answer with us today! ”
The final match day of the second round of the group.
The venue was full of people, and there were many cosplay girls standing at the door in rags.
All the blonde Yanmars, and some of them will flatter the more handsome guys in the audience.
Pair it with that flaming red lip.
Hiss......
Today's schedule is also very interesting.
In the six games, the SAC occupied the first, fourth and last positions.
And the last one is to play SSG.
This arrangement has attracted a lot of heated discussions.
Most people feel that the strength of Samsung this year is definitely not worthy of the finale of the group stage.
It's too weak.
However, there are a few who believe that they must not be taken lightly when facing South Korean teams.
It wasn't until the second half of the day's game that more than 90 percent of the audience was slapped in the face.
For no other reason, SSG is like being reborn today, a fierce yuppie.
First, they easily tortured and killed H2K, and then hung up the lightning wolf that crushed them in the first round.
Such a terrifying performance made Guan Zeyuan, who was sitting somewhere in the audience, regret it.
Before coming to power today, he hesitated for a long, long time.
In the end, he decided to give up commenting on the game, lest he would have heart problems.
As a result, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more itchy Zeyuan's heart became.
His gaze was on the commentator on the stage, Wang remembered.
As far as the commentary is concerned, it is possible to change personnel in the middle, and of course, if you are not tired, you can also ask to continue the commentary on the second half.
Those who can work harder, anyway, the commentary is based on the number of jobs they work to get income.
After hesitating for a moment, Guan Zeyuan decided to go and change shifts with Wang Yi.
With the current state of Group A standings, SSG is not completely out of the question.
Sac, who finished first in the group, had just beaten H2K and stood at the top of the table with a 4/0 record.
It is followed by H2K, with 2/3 of the record behind Sac.
Lightning Wolves weren't very lucky today.
Losing to SSG puts their points on the edge of a cliff.
The Lightning Wolves, with a 1/3 record, are embarrassed and will not be able to retain that slight chance of qualifying unless they can beat H2K and Sac in succession.
SSG's two-game winning streak also helped them retain some hope of qualifying.
If SSG defeats Sac, then SSG's score can definitely be used for a play-off.
However, all of these theoretical possibilities must be based on their ability to defeat Sac.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the lightning wolf bursts, defeats H2K, and forces H2K's record to 2/4.
As long as H2K wins against the Lightning Wolves, then SSG will have to beat Sac if they want to qualify.
The fourth showdown.
Unsurprisingly, Sac defeated the Lightning Wolf.
In the fifth game, the Lightning Wolves played H2K.
This tuggs at the heartstrings of the three teams.
Especially the SSG, how they hope that the lightning wolf will win.
In this way, they can directly play the playoffs, and even if they lose to Sac, they will have the same score as the Lightning Wolves and H2K with a 2/4 record.
But the reality is always cruel.
When a large number of voices erupted in the SSG lounge complaining about Xihachi and the like, they will be greeted by the most critical game, and it will also be the one that will determine whether they can qualify for the playoffs.
