Chapter 171: Protecting Two and Fighting Three (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After the results of the draw came out, the SSR base suddenly became quiet.

In their group, in addition to their team, the other three teams are: the third-seeded Samsung team in the South Korean LCK region, the first-seeded Lightning Wolves team in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan LMS region, and the third-seeded C9 team in the North American LCS.

On the surface, one No. 1 seed and three No. 3 seeds, the competitive pressure is not so great, and the qualifying situation is good.

But really, who would consider Samsung as the third seed?

Since S3, the S series has been dominated by LCK teams every year, and in previous years, there were LPL teams that could reach the finals and fight against them.

And last year, S5 and LPL declined as a whole, and the finals directly turned into a civil war in the Korean LCK!

This year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational was also won by Team SKT.

It can be said that the three teams of the LCK are the "leading big brothers" of each group.

There is one more thing they don't know, but Lin Han has crossed back, and he knows it clearly in his heart, the three-star team is the runner-up of this year's S competition!

In addition, there is such a strong team as the Lightning Wolves, and the road ahead of the group stage can be described as difficult.

Everyone did not speak, and fell into deep thought......

After a while.

"How can I say it......"

Coach Zhou was the first to speak: "I think this draw result is not bad for us...... What do you guys think? ”

Hao Ren nodded: "I also think it's okay, it's decent...... At least, better than I expected. ”

Han Xin shrugged helplessly: "At least I didn't touch ROX and SKT, SSG's words...... Fight it, I think there is still a chance. ”

Qin Tianyu said: "Panic a hammer, no matter which one it is, it's over!" The master is not cowardly at all. ”

Lin Han said: "You'd better be a little cowardly, okay?" I'm afraid that you'll be sent to the World Championship now, and I won't be able to stand it. ”

“......”

The crowd laughed.

"But seriously, EDG is really a peerless lottery!"

Hao Ren sighed: "AHQ, H2K and a wild card team, this is the ironclad first in the group, right?" ”

"Indeed, there is still a gap between the strength of these other three teams and EDG." Han Xin also agreed.

When Lin Han heard this, he shook his head.

Qin Tianyu thought for a while and said, "By the way, this INTZ jungler, like you, seems to be a fan of the factory director!" ”

Han Xin said: "What's so strange about this, the piglets in my factory are all over the world, normal." ”

"RNG's words...... It feels okay too. ”

Qin Tianyu said: "SKT, TS-M and SPY, it seems that only SKT is more difficult to play, and the other two feel that RNG is not a big problem." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After sitting together and chatting for a while, the time passed quickly, and by nearly four o'clock in the evening, they were a little sleepy, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Han was lying on the bed, with many thoughts in his mind, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

I believe that not only him, but also tonight will be a sleepless night for many people......

......

After the results of the draw came out, it quickly caused an uproar on the Internet.

Weibo, forums, post bars and other e-sports-related sectors began to be hotly discussed.

For the most part, it is generally agreed that the future of SSR is difficult.

As an old powerhouse of the LMS, the FW team is almost the dominant team in their region.

At this year's MSI, they won the semi-finals and beat SKT in the group stage, and were known as the "Anti-Korean Heroes".

Around the world, there is a group of people who consider their team to be one of the strong contenders for the championship other than South Korea.

Needless to say, the three-star team in their group only has C9, the No. 3 seed in North America, who is considered weak by the public.

However, only two of the four teams in the group can qualify, so for SSR, it can be described as a "group of death" in the true sense.

It's too tough to get through the group stage.

On the other hand, the situation is much more optimistic for the other two LPL teams.

Although there are behemoths like SKT in Group D, RNG is in the other two, one is TSM of the North American LCS, and the other is the third seed SPY in Europe.

In everyone's opinion, RNG has significantly less pressure to deal with these two teams.

Even if they can't beat SKT, there should be no big problem in qualifying for the second place in the group.

As for EDG, it's even more comfortable.

Not only are there no Korean teams in it, but the other teams are very average.

Similar to what the SSR players thought, netizens basically agreed that EDG was in an absolute leading position in Group C.

H2K, the second seed in the European LCS, although there is a "legendary midlaner" Ryu from South Korea in the team, but on the whole, it can only be said that it is not very good.

AHQ, LMS's No. 2 seed, has a communication with EDG, and the two teams often train together, from the players to the management.

Of course, generally speaking, AHQ has more "experience", and in terms of strength, EDG is much stronger, and the overall winning side is much greater than EDG.

As for the other wild card team, INTZ, there is no need to worry, in everyone's opinion, most of the time the wild card team is used to give away points.

To sum up, EDG basically stabilized the first place in the group.

Therefore, for the form of this year's LPL, the audience is currently holding the attitude of "protecting two and fighting for three", believing that RNG and EDG will be able to qualify steadily, and expect SSR to work hard to fight for their way out of the encirclement.

Overall, the situation is relatively optimistic.

......

No matter what the noise was outside, all SSR members were now focused on training.

There are still nearly 20 days to go, which is not too short, and it is not too much to say that it is abundant, and adequate training is essential to prepare for the World Championships.

After discussing with the coach, Lin Han formulated a rigorous training plan.

From morning to evening, from eating and sleeping to training, there are corresponding arrangements at each time point, and each player must strictly follow the specified time to achieve the specified content.

During training, any form of recreational activity is prohibited.

There are no rewards and punishments, everything depends on self-consciousness and mutual supervision by members.

Maybe a little harsh, but non-negotiable.

On this point, all SSR members agreed with it, and no one disagreed.

This is enlightenment.

......

On this day, Lin Han found Coach Zhou and discussed with him: "Coach, go find EDG and make an appointment with them for a training match." ”

Lin Han knew that Coach Zhou had a connection with the EDG team and could catch up with the line.

An important purpose of playing training matches is to improve their tactical system and teamwork by checking and filling in gaps with opponents.

This is also the point where their team needs to be strengthened at the moment.

Therefore, the opponent in the training match is particularly crucial.

EDG, as the current top team in China and the top seed in the LPL, there is no doubt that playing training matches with them is the best choice at present.

Coach Zhou nodded: "Okay, no problem, you can train with peace of mind, and leave these problems to me." ”

"Hmm."
