Chapter 380: BloodFlags vs. Fallen Angels!
The fact that SS, the dominant team of the first three Series S World Championships in Group C, is almost unquestionable to qualify as the leader of the group, as the team has become more and more perfect over the years.
And in the past three years, there has been no turnover or loss of personnel in the SS team, which means that the cohesion of the team is very strong, coupled with Li Haolin, who is at the peak of his state, SS is still the favorite to win the championship this year, after all, they have won three consecutive championships.
If you add the S-match champion of the former SS in the S4 period, then it is a total of four S-match championships, and if the S10 World Championship SS team wins the championship again, then it means that SS will win five S-match championships, what is this concept?
As of the end of the S10 League of Legends World Championship, the S10 League of Legends World Championship has been held ten times, and all five championships have belonged to the same team, which is definitely not what Riot or other teams in other regions want to see, and even other teams in the LCK region do not necessarily want to see this kind of situation that cannot be overturned.
That's not esports at all, it's naked e-supremacy.
In Group C, the RC teams from Europe and the TGN from the wild card are basically cool, and EBF has returned to the top after Tang Yue joined, and even compared to the IC that lost to SS in the mid-season, it is no surprise that it will definitely be able to win the quarterfinals.
In Group D, QAQ from the LMS Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao Division still has a very strong fighting power under the leadership of Li Qianqiu, while the third-seeded team SC from LCK and the third-seeded team MD from LPL are not in very good shape.
And the group D is worth mentioning is probably the ZA team from North America, they used to be the champions of the S6 World Finals, a group of naked underdogs, but when the year S6 won the championship, the whole world was shaken and let out an incredible cry.
S6 is the darkest year in the history of League of Legends LCK and LPL, LCK's ace team SS was defeated by the strong rise of OB in the S5 finals and directly existed in name only, and the team's midlaner Li Yalin was directly sprayed by Korean fans until retirement, and there is no news until today.
One of the other four players chose to retire to go to college, one also retired directly because he reached the age of military service, and the other two were bought into another team of LCK, and the other came to LPL directly to become the coach of a team because of his game experience.
It can be said that the original SS has almost nothing to do with the current SS, except that the name of the club has not changed, the original S4 championship trophy and the S5 runner-up trophy are still there, and the rest of the team members are all newcomers in the second team and strong passers-by who have been attracted from passers-by.
However, because of the serious change of team personnel and the extreme lack of experience in the competition, the SS team was unknown at the time of S6 and did not even go to the finals of S6, because they were all training and accumulating game experience at that time, and they failed to enter the finals of S6 at all.
In the relative LPL, OB directly chose to disband the team after winning the championship strongly, and all six members of the team announced their indefinite retirement, and the team manager Fuyi even launched a letter signed by 10,000 people on the Internet to retain the OB people, but it was still politely refused.
At the same time, S6 Coco Li's hand injury also reached the most serious time, S4, S5 He fought too hard for two years, especially S4, S3 Coco Li's hand injury and back injury only appeared for the first time, but at that time, because he focused on the game, he didn't care about conditioning and treatment at all, so that Coco Li directly missed it in the S3 World Finals.
After a simple rehabilitation treatment of the S4 Coco Li hand injury, he immediately rushed back to the BF to support the field, and won the S4 mid-season championship to prove to the world that the BF is still there, and the throne is still unshakable, and then the LCK Invitational Tournament and the Dragon and Tiger Cup also won two championship trophies with superhuman performance.
At that time, the rest of the BF team, including coach Liu Yi, was very naïve to think that as long as there was a great god like Coco Li, they could win and keep winning, but they ignored a very serious question, that is, how long can Coco Li's current state of exerting his strength by overdrawing his body be maintained.
The wounded beast never shows weakness before men.
This sentence is undoubtedly the most appropriate to describe Coco Li at that time, but in any case, Coco Li wants to persevere until the end, he doesn't want to fail at the last moment, even if he is recuperating, he must wait until after the S4 finals.
Coco Li is strong, but no one else can see it, not to mention the enthusiastic commentary before the S4 game and how the audience thinks that Coco Li will win the S4 championship in BF, even the players in the BF team think that the championship of the S4 World Finals is nine out of ten.
After all, Coco Li's strength at that time was really beyond all professional players, and the gap had reached the point where it was obvious that it was not only the gap between platinum and diamonds, but the gap between platinum and kings.
But everyone couldn't see that Coco Li's hands were shaking all the time after the training match and the game, as if there were some diseases that needed to be avoided, but the patient still had to eat, and the disease would not be able to get better and recover for a long time, or even worsened to a more serious point, which is the reason.
Therefore, in the end, BF paid a terrible price, and they lost to the phenomenal team SS at the time of LCK's freshness at the last minute.
S5 Coco Li was in a state of confusion for a whole season, and it was not until after the earth-shattering battle with OB that he repented, and received the most systematic treatment at the end of S5, S6 Spring Coco Li did not appear directly, and then BF was not able to reach the S6 World Finals for various reasons.
That year's Worlds seemed to regress to S1 in an instant, and both the LCK and LPL were languishing and unable to attack the S6 championship.
And in the end, ZA made history, a history that belongs to the weak.
A weak person does not mean a loser.
We don't need heroes, we can all be heroes!
This team's results in the North American region have always been very average, if put on the world-class stage, I am afraid it can only be called a second-rate level, and there may be a certain chance of overturning in the face of wild cards, but they did it, did what all the weakers wanted to do but failed to do, and won the championship trophy of the S6 World Championship.
If the rise of OB in the S5 period shocked the whole world, then the result of ZA winning the championship in the S6 period undoubtedly made the world messy, and no one really thought of this result, not even the coaches and players in the ZA team thought that they could win the world championship in S6.
After the game, Ulysses, the captain of the ZA team, said this: I like the Chinese book very much, that book is called "The Three-Body Problem", and there is a discussion about who is more powerful than people and insects, which makes me feel that I have benefited a lot, and I also understand that being weak does not mean being a loser.
Who is more powerful, humans or bugs?
In fact, people have never defeated bugs!
Until now, there are some bugs that have been with humans and they are not necessarily shorter than human history, such as locusts, cockroaches, rats.
"Look at it, this is the bugs, the gap between their technology and ours is far greater than the gap between us and the three-body civilization.
Humans have done everything they can to exterminate them, using all kinds of poisons, spraying them with airplanes, introducing and cultivating their natural enemies, searching for and destroying their eggs, and sterilizing them with genetic modification; Burn them with fire and flood them with water......
This long war has accompanied the entire human civilization, and the outcome is still undecided, the insects have not been exterminated, they still roam the heavens and the earth, and their numbers are no less than before the appearance of humans.
Trisolarans who see humans as bugs seem to have forgotten the fact that bugs have never been truly defeated. ”
In fact, we can't prove anything, human beings just like to take themselves too seriously.
To be precise, the strong like to take themselves seriously when facing the weak, just like the three-body body facing human beings and human beings facing insects, the strong have a natural sense of superiority in the face of the weak, and unconsciously show it in words and actions, while the relatively weak will become restrained in the face of the strong.
To put it simply, probably, bullying the soft and fearing the hard?
However, this kind of inferior nature is probably rooted in the body of every life, and it is the nature of all life to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, even human beings who think they are superior cannot avoid it, but human beings like to whitewash the peace, but then again, whitewashing the peace may be the unique nature of human beings as intelligent creatures.
This is also where humans are more clever than insects, we sublimate survival to the point of life, it seems that there is no difference, but there is a fundamental difference between eating well and eating well, finding a reason for the means of slaughter, for example, for a better quality of life.
Unfortunately, humans can't defeat bugs, but they do outdo them.
ZA won the championship in S6 with the weak defeating the strong after all, it was just a flash in the pan, and after the flowers bloomed, they were directly burned into scum by the flames of the times, and there was no chance for the next bloom, but there is no doubt that their performance in S6 that year really shocked the world.
The champion skins of the five heroes, Troll, Amumu, Icebird, Ergat, and Britz, are also a testament to the glory that this team has achieved in the first place, and this glory will be passed on with the skin forever with the League of Legends game until the server closes.
After the draw, the group stage was not carried out immediately, but after a few days of rest and training for the major teams, the next game continued at the Wuhan Sports Center, and because the day the game started happened to be October 5th, which coincided with the National Day holiday, so the entire sports center can be said to be overcrowded.
Fans of countless teams held high the flags and logos of the major teams, and their faces were also graffiti with the logos of their favorite teams, intending to cheer for their teams during the competition, and the teams in today's competition caused countless fans to cheer when they entered the stadium.
The group stage will be held from October 5th to October 8th and October 12th to October 15th, which is a total of eight days, because it is a double round-robin system for a single win-loss match, so there will be a group every day in the four days of 5, 6, 7 and 8 from the 5th to the 8th for the first round of round-robin BO1.
In the four days of 12, 13, 14 and 15, the second round of round-robin BO1 will be held, and finally the top two of the four groups in ABCD will be promoted, and today, that is, October 5, is the game of Group A of the four groups of ABCD.
The four teams in Group A will play a total of six matches today, namely 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 34, which means that each team in Group A will have to play three games today, and if they win all of them, they will have 3 points, and if they lose all of them, they will have no points, and then the same will be true in the second round, and the total number of points will be 6 points if they win all of them in the group stage.
And today's first game is the matchup between the No. 12 teams in Group A, which means that the first game is played by the LPL No. 1 seed team BF against the LCK No. 2 seed team FA, which can be said to be a very high-quality match.
"There are so many people."
Mu Han looked at the crowded scene around her and couldn't help but sigh, she had also watched the MD game in the LPL before, but although the number of people on the scene was also large, it was not exaggerated to the extent that it was full.
"Of course, this is the World Finals, plus it just happens to be the National Day, and there are a lot of people on vacation, as League of Legends fans, of course, they will flock to it, plus today's first game is BF vs. FA, which can be said to be quite eye-catching."
Mu Han, who was sitting next to Mu Han, explained.
Even if it is not a National Day today, Mu will still choose to come to the scene to watch the game, although it is better to analyze the game in a quiet place, but he is not here today to observe and study tactics, but simply to watch the game and feel the atmosphere of the arena at the same time.
There is a difference between watching the game on the spot and watching the game on the computer, this is not just a patent for basketball or football, although e-sports has its particularity, even if you come to the scene, you can only feel the strength of the players through the projection screen, but that atmosphere cannot be replaced by any way.
Especially in the ** stage of the game, every operation of the players in the game can make the audience cheer for it, in this field, every team is a kind of sect, and the fans are their believers, happy or sad for their beliefs.
Under the infection of this fanatical atmosphere around him, as long as he is an ordinary person with seven emotions and six desires, he can't help but subconsciously integrate into it, even if he is quiet and introverted, he will gradually become a part of those fans who are waving the flag, this is nature.
