Victory！

With a three-way advantage in the opening game, RT easily defeated their second-round opponents, the Royals. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The victory in this battle allowed Lin Mu and others to qualify directly and enter the top eight in the winner's group.

As for the royals who enter the lower bracket, they will need to go through the next round of competition to compete with the winner of the old godfather and the CASH team to compete for the top spot in the lower bracket.

At this time, the leaders of each group have basically been decided.

WE, RT, IG and OMG!

There was almost no suspense, and the four LPL teams ranked first in ABCD, becoming the first batch of teams to enter the quarterfinals with an undefeated record.

According to the format of the top half of the quarterfinals [A1VSB2, C1VSD2] and the bottom half [A2VSB1, C2VSD1], these four strong teams will not meet in the first round of the knockout round.

Just like the rules of the S-Series in later generations, the top team will be the second place in the other group.

However, the list is still uncertain because the team that lost in the second round will need to move on to the next round.

Fortunately, the organizers didn't make everyone wait too long.

With ample on-site equipment, just an hour later, the second batch of places to advance to the semi-finals were available.

Group A: WE, VG

Group B: RT, Royalty

Group C: IG, KX. H

Group D: OMG, PE

Put this list into the division, and the list of quarterfinals will be: the top half [WEvsRoyals, IGvsPE], the bottom half [VG vs. RT, KX. H vs. OMG].

"Why is my luck so bad, why did I just run into RT!"

"It's over with the World Champion in one and a half divisions!"

"Alas, it's a 20-minute crushing game to fight the royal family, let alone us."

"Haha, it's good to be in the top half, now I have the hope of playing in the World Championship!"

Watching this list come out, the expressions of the leaders of the teams on the scene were different, a few were happy and some were worried.

The team in the upper half led by WE is mostly glad that they are not in the same half as RT, even if they don't say it on the surface, they are happy in their hearts.

It is important to know that there are two places in the China division of the WCG World Finals, which means that as long as you can win the runner-up in the qualifiers, you can set foot on the world stage.

With RT's current form, it was natural to assume that they were the champions of the qualifiers, and the others would have to compete for second place.

It is said that there is no second in the competitive field, but that also depends on the situation.

If it's a cup competition like the S competition, then the second place really doesn't make any sense, but in a qualifier like this with two places, as long as you can qualify, what does it matter if you can win the championship and runner-up?

It can be said that the teams in the top half of the bracket are relieved, at least they will not meet RT before the finals.

And once they reach the final, it means that the World Championship quota has been obtained, and it is no longer important for them to win or lose at that time.

The teams in the top half are secretly rejoicing, and the other teams that are unlucky enough to be assigned to the bottom half can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

After all, the format is like this, someone has to face this tiger and wolf lion, right?

However, there are exceptions, and not all of the three teams in the bottom half of the table with RT are so apprehensive, at least OMG, who made a name for themselves in Group D at S3 half a month ago.

Lin Mu noticed that when the OMG people led by Gogoing learned that they were divided into the lower half of the district, they did not show any timidity, and their leader Su Xiaofei even took the initiative to come over to say hello, and said with a smile that if they met in the future, they hoped to be merciful, and they didn't seem to be worried at all.

Think about it, if you are afraid of this and that in the domestic qualifiers, then what can you do even if you are on the world stage?

Unlike other teams, OMG has always been a team that is not afraid of the sky, and in terms of the tough style of this team, they are going for this WCG World Championship, and whether they can qualify is not in the scope of these people's considerations at all.

To put it mildly, they're here for the title of RT's No. 1 team!

From the eyes of the OMG people looking at him, Lin Mu could fully feel the courage and desire to fight in the hearts of these people.

The next day, the quarterfinals were played for the first time.

RTvsVG！

When Lin Mu and the others entered the contestant room amid cheers, Wei Shen, Sima Lao Thief and other VG people next door were also in place, and they were preparing for this rare battle for themselves.

Since learning the news that they will face the world champion RT in the first round of the knockout round, Wei Shen and Sima Lao Thief didn't sleep well all night last night, and the next day they got up from the bed at dawn and came to the stadium to occupy a place for warm-up training.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time VG and RT have faced each other, they have had a head-to-head confrontation with Lin Mu and others in the TGA Finals half a year ago.

Perhaps in the eyes of Wei Shen and other parties, the gap between himself and RT at that time was not too big, and it could even be said to be a pity.

But half a year has passed, one has jumped into the dragon gate and become the annual world champion in one fell swoop, while the other is still struggling in the TGA, and even whether he can enter the next LPL is very suspenseful.

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and the success of Lin Mu and others made GOTV and others deeply aware of their incompetence, and at the same time, they were secretly determined to catch up with the former one day sooner or later.

- Welcome to the Summoner's Rift!

In the sound of live commentary, the BO3 knockout match between the two sides officially began.

In the first game, RT is in blue, VG is in purple.

RT lineup: Top Lane Shen, Jungler Blind Monk, Middle Single Wine Barrel, Bottom Lane Wayne + Nami

VG lineup: Top Single Zack, Jungler Wei, Middle Single Clockwork, Bottom Plane + Zyra

As soon as the match began, RT gave VG a hard blow.

A wave of the 1st level regiment in the wild area crouched, squatted directly to Zyra, who came over to do vision, and directly disabled it through a taunt of Shen, even if this unfamiliar Jie La flashed over the wall, it was still difficult to escape the fate of being taken down by Lin Mu and Shan.

It's a pity that due to lack of time, Lin Mu can't go back to the city to replenish equipment.

However, even if he didn't have a lead in equipment, the experience and lane advantage gained by One Blood was enough for him to completely suppress his opponent on the line.

By the end of the 4 minutes of the game, Sima Lao's plane only made up 13 knives, and Lin Mu pressed him to his feet.

It is worth mentioning that after being promoted to level 4 first, Sima Lao Thief took the initiative to launch a wave of attacks, but in the process of fighting, not only was he blistered, but also assisted by Wayne who was one step ahead of Nami's E skill, and then he desperately wanted to change Nami, but he was accidentally nailed to the wall by Lin Mu and killed.

In just five minutes of the game, Wayne won the big kill.

An irrational choice that instantly led to the collapse of VG's bottom lane.

It should be said that the old thief of Sima in this period is still a long way from the first-class ADC, at least in front of Lin Mu, this kid is still too tender to pose a threat.
