Hot talk is hot, the reality is cruel, and the results of the next game still disappointed many North American audiences.

C9 has always been known as the team that most resembles the Korean team, but their opponent is the Korean team SKT, the former world champion SKT team with the Faker Demon King, who lost 1-2.

In the first game, the C9 team ran like a 'fine' instrument, especially the "node-type advancement" style of play they were good at, which made the Korean team a little unable to cope with it, and after winning the first game, the North American audience who came from afar fell into the carnival of the "wave" and "tide" and could not extricate themselves. ”

Even C9's Hai was excited to high-five each other frequently, but unfortunately from the second game, the Korean team accelerated the pace of the early stage, and played a prepared response to the "node advancement" tactic, and easily won the second game.

In the third game, both sides did their best, after all, the C9 team is only the most like the Korean team rather than the Korean team, and many places deliberately pursue the rhythm of South Korea but lose their own characteristics, this game is very difficult, almost the whole game is behind, but it still persists for more than 30 minutes before losing.

After a good start but failed to have a good result, the C9 team defeated the two major rivals of EDG from China and C9 from North America in a row, and basically locked up the qualifying place in the group.

The T*M team took turns to take a break, and the T*M team first welcomed the challenge of the SGB team, and the outside world almost unanimously believed that if the T*M team could beat the SGB team, the T-team would definitely let them gamble on another right to qualify from the group.

Even the SGB team thought so, so they were on fire from the first game, and although they didn't perform well against the T-team, it was the first team to secure a place in the World Finals in the strong Korean region.

Although the T*M team has been very strong in recent years, its strength is limited, and it is simply powerless to parry in the face of the SGB team's mad dog-like rush, losing two games in a row and losing the chance to qualify from the group, because even if the T team loses to them, the three teams are two wins, and the competition must be for the head or the game time, and the T team will definitely not take this risk.

Looking at the 'spirit' god head of the T team when they faced the SGB team, this team is no longer the ignorant regional team of the year, at that time Lan Yu was very excited to be able to establish contact with the legendary great god team, but now the T team has grown to the point where even the T*M team has no confidence to defeat them, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

The group stage proceeded in an orderly manner, and it was similar to the outside world's predictions, and there were no major changes in the final qualifying places.

OMG in Group A and T in Group B both topped the group after three wins, while the other two teams were KTA and SGB.

The situation in Group C and Group D is also clearer, with South Korean team SKT topping Group C, while China's EDG team managed to qualify after a hard-fought victory over Team C9.

Group D was uneventful, with almost all the teams gathered here, with SK and LGF from Taiwan joining hands to qualify for the quarterfinals with other teams.

The final result was somewhat difficult for foreign fans to accept, North America, Europe and the wild card region were all wiped out, as the birthplace of this game, as the owner of various world No. 1 in the past, fans had to accept the result of their beloved team falling from the altar.

The game became a battle between China and South Korea for the world leader, and everyone else was reduced to spectators, and although many teams such as C9 and T*M have improved significantly, they are still a little behind.

Maybe it's age and reactions, maybe it's mentality, but it's still hurtful that no hometown team can return to their home stadium for the quarterfinals, but the U.S. team has always been free and easy, and even if they are seeded, they will not be worse in the quarterfinals in the past few years.

The captains of the T*M team and the C9 team also posted an invitation to support the T team from China on the social 'communication' platform, and among all the teams selected for the top eight, only the T team has a lot of roots with them.

And in the interview of the domestic competition, the T team did not hesitate to praise the two teams, this kind of momentum and borrowing both sides do not need to say too clearly, as soon as there is a move in North America, the country will understand what they mean.

The quarterfinals will be moved to the Staples Stadium in Los Angeles, North America, but at the H City E-sports Stadium, the organizers specially arranged a farewell and farewell ceremony, the solemn farewell is given to those teams who have gone all out but failed to make it to the top eight, the organizers have gifts, and the farewell ceremony is specially prepared for the top eight teams.

Although China and South Korea are always opponents in terms of competition, it does not mean that there is too much hostility between fans, you are strong, I will learn from you and then surpass you, you are weak, you are welcome to learn from me.

Both Team T and OMG have defeated their Korean opponents in the group stage, and although they haven't met the uplifting SKT team, they do have a good understanding of the popular Korean style and style of play, and even if they meet their opponents again in the quarterfinals, they will be able to cope with it.

Therefore, the audience in China is very much looking forward to the three Chinese teams being each other's helpers on the road to the championship, and it is best to kill a few South Korean teams, and even some people have begun to 'obscenely' the championship, runner-up and third place are all won by the Chinese team, but more people are still waiting for the official electronic 'lottery' with concern.

Eight teams played a double-elimination tournament, which maintained the greatest fairness and chance, and in anticipation, a live channel was opened in the game that night to broadcast the first round of the eight teams' 'engagements'.

The grouping situation came out quickly, and the audience in both China and South Korea was in a cold sweat, because in the first round of the winner-bracket match, the two regions suffered derbies separately.

OMG vs. EDG, KTA vs. SGB, T vs. SK, SKT vs. LGF.

This grouping caused an uproar among fans, but there was nothing to do, the electronic 'draw' could not be faked, and this time China and South Korea had three teams in the quarterfinals, and the LGF team from Taiwan, China and the only remaining SK team in Europe are all luck-based second-rate teams, and they were lucky to be in Group D in the group stage, facing six strong teams from China and South Korea, these two teams can only be sent to the team.

The group established by the professional players immediately let out rows of miserable expressions, all from the OMG team and the EDG team, afraid of what to come, although they were mentally prepared, but when they really 'draw' each other, they still sighed a little too early.

Fortunately, the Korean team also has a first-round derby, everyone learns from each other and studies each other, and the final victory or defeat still depends on who plays better on the spot.

When everyone in the group was howling, the five members of the T-team went online collectively and posted a unified thief smile.

Not only did they avoid the first round of derbies, but the T team was also assigned to a weak team like SK team, so it was basically certain that they would enter the upper bracket.

In addition, the South Korean SKT team, which is known as the most championship-looking team, also faces the weak LGF team from Taiwan, China, and it is estimated that it will be able to successfully advance to the upper bracket if there are no major accidents, so that the upper bracket is likely to become two Chinese teams and two Korean teams, and the other Chinese team will start from the lower bracket.

The 'draw' group has been decided, and then there is a three-day break, and then it is time to leave for the United States to prepare for the quarterfinals, the three Chinese teams have studied it and decided to play a dozen training matches, but the OMG team and the EDG team are both playing with the T team, because the two teams have now become opponents, and they must not continue to fight.

The strategy of the Chinese team in the group stage is a unified rhythm and style, so that they can learn from each other and make up for each other, and the rhythmic style of play is a relatively strong Chinese style of play, but when it comes to the quarterfinals, everyone has to tap the potential of their own team again on this basis, and it is difficult to guess the outcome or defeat, they are all old opponents, and they are familiar with each other's habits and playing styles.

The T-Squad is also willing to play training matches with these two teams, and it's good to get to know each other better, and the double-elimination tournament will definitely meet these old friends again unless they can go all the way in the upper bracket.

In order to control the feel and get enough rest, the T team only played three training matches with the two teams, and then the OMG team and the EDG team contacted other teams in the domestic professional league for training, and the T team packed their bags.

The visas have already been processed, and Lan Yu, Yuan Xiaoye and Chen Chuxiao have already been to the headquarters once in advance, so they are familiar with the 'door' and the road, because the T*M team and the C9 team are building momentum for the T team, and now fans in North America basically regard the T team as their home team.

Every day, fans on the social "communication" platform post Chinese cheering banners made by American friends, and a little decoration has been added to the venue, which has a very Chinese style, which has caused dissatisfaction among Korean fans, and the two sides are scolding and fighting every day on the social "communication" platform in the United States, these Lan Yu they don't know.

The scale of this trip to the United States was unprecedented, and the members of the three teams, plus their respective team leaders and staff, as well as the official commentary and staff, were a large group of nearly 100 people.

Many local tyrant-level fans also spontaneously bought air tickets and 'door' tickets, estimating the time to come to the United States to cheer for the Chinese team on the spot, such as the most die-hard fan of the T team, Lan Yu's cousin Lan Lie brought a full thirty people to the United States.

And what made Lan Yu most stressful was that this time it was not only the club that sent people, but also the parents who were busy also 'time' to fly to the United States to watch the game.

This decision is not even clear to Lan Yu, it was before departure that he knew that his parents would catch the next day's plane over, the company still has a real estate for sale today, and the two of them still have some things to deal with, so they can't follow the first time, but the next few days are not arranged, just to seriously follow the club to see the performance of the T team in the United States.

This can be regarded as cheering for Lan Yu, in this era when e-sports is not accepted by many people of the previous generation, it is also a kind of progress for parents to be able to watch their children win glory for the country in person.

Not only that, but even the parents of several other team members, Hengyu Real Estate Group also arranged to go together, so while the excitement was 'excited', several team members also felt more pressure on their shoulders.

When the plane landed, the organizer took the T*M and C9 teams to the airport to greet them, and there were many fans from North America who came to cheer for them, which shows that the United States has been quite successful in building momentum for the T-team.

It's a big gamble, if the T-team performs well, then it will be honored to be friends, and if it doesn't, then the T*M team and the C9 team will be saddled with a reputation for poor strength and vision......

The hotel where he stayed was not far from the place of the competition, Lan Yu because he had a situation of poisoning in the soil and water, this time there was also a doctor with the team, after landing, he had to check the body of five people and take some 'medicine', especially Lan Yu, although the symptoms of airsickness have improved a lot, but the plane of more than ten hours still made him a little unbearable, and after landing with Hai and Dyrus, they simply greeted them for a while and then went back to the hotel to rest with a tired face.

The match will start in two days, and the T team will be able to do the final tactical discussions in addition to the rest and the final tactical discussions.
