Chapter 118: The final battle of the group stage, KT's big move
"The sword god is really hammered, and he really kills Wo Ri!"
"The operation is strange, this is this, how does the captain fight the sword Ji!"
"My husband's hand speed is so fast, I will definitely be blessed in the future."
"Labor and management punch a monster!"
The barrage is filled with the atmosphere of cheerful sand sculptures.
But there is also a section of people who are still not convinced.
"Lulu + Shen + Ye Dad, what the hell is this four dozen and one, don't you still have a face?"
"The ultimate three guarantees one??"
"Nima's solo captain is blind? If the factory director doesn't come, he can't kill it? Laughing to death!"
"Cloud player Zhen Nimaduo, this sword Ji still wins TSM, but he can't accept these barrages."
……
"MVP gives the order again! This is already the third MVP of the Master in this World Championship, perfect stats. ”
"No, some people have won three MVPs because they only played three games, right?"
"That's right, three games and three MVPs, I believe this kind of performance also makes many people feel incredible...... So now, EDG has nothing to worry about, but the situation for QG and LGD is a bit worse.
Especially QG, who lost both games, if they lose again today, there will only be a theoretical possibility left, and today's game against AHQ is very important for them. ”
The doll looked at the notebook and said a little nervously.
EDG succeeded in winning the TSM, which they were not worried about, the only surprise was that the captain was released, and the victory was won.
And the second game of today's LPL is QG vs. AHQ.
If you kneel all three, then it will be difficult to qualify.
The team of AHQ has won over C9, and its strength cannot be said to be bad.
……
On the tactical analysis table of the LCS European League, three European and American hosts and a Chinese are talking and laughing.
This yellow-skinned man is none other than the S3 royal family's world runner-up assistant tabe.
"QG's qualification situation is not very optimistic now, they have lost two games in a row, and their last opponent in the first round is AHQ, who do you think will win next?"
"It must be QG."
Tabe smiled slightly, very confident.
"I have a good relationship with the IG coaches, they have big moves."
After Tabe finished speaking, he pretended to look at the foreigner on the side mysteriously.
And the foreigner also understood very well, covering his mouth and looking surprised.
"It seems that your relationship is really good, and I told you all about the big moves."
"Hahaha, that's right, they'll choose people to go to the jungle, which I don't think other teams can imagine."
Tabe looked smug and didn't notice anything wrong.
"Centaur jungler? oh my god! This hero is basically used to play on the road this season! ”
Looking at the foreigner's face of surprise, Tabe's weak heart was greatly satisfied.
"In addition to centaurs, there are also blind monks, but this jungler hero is very common, and there are routines in the lower lane, Calista Gakenan, I'm looking forward to their performance......"
Before Tabe could finish speaking, he was stopped by other commentators and hosts.
Originally, they thought it was no problem, but no one expected Tabe to sell QG so thoroughly......
This incident did not attract people's attention at first.
But when QG lost to AHQ, the incident was exposed.
The LPL league has caused an uproar all of a sudden!
The original overwhelming abuse of QG all surged towards Tabe at once.
Chen Luoyang is also an afterthought.
He remembered that Tabe leaked IG's tactics in his previous life, but he didn't expect it to be replaced with QG this time, and something like this still happened......
However, when they were in China, QG and IG often played training matches, and perhaps this was also a new routine that they studied together.
After the fourth day of the group stage, the first round of the group stage is officially over.
The first place in the four groups has won all of them.
They are KOO, SKT, FNC and EDG.
Win all in the first round, and as long as you guarantee a win in the second round, you will be able to qualify.
As for the first or second, it depends on the performance of the second round.
However, although they have a high probability of qualifying, it is not impossible to eliminate.
In the World Championship in the previous life, there were teams that won all the first round, and lost all the second rounds.
There have also been teams that lost all in the first round, won all in the second round, and won the extra round to advance to the quarterfinals.
Therefore, although EDG won the first round, it is still a bit inappropriate to say that it is stable to enter the quarterfinals.
In the middle of the two rounds of the group stage, there is four days to prepare.
And the second round of the group stage will be in the form of one group a day, so the first three days are no EDG matches.
The first three days will determine the qualification place for Group ABC, and the last day will be the Group D match.
This means that the teams in Group D will be able to have an eight-day preparation period after playing on the 3rd.
However, this also means that they will have less time to prepare for the quarter-finals.
This is bad news for EDG.
After all, BO5 is the most important thing.
And EDG's quarterfinals have always been a hurdle......
For four days, all the teams were training like crazy.
When it comes to the Worlds, every minute and every second counts.
It is very likely that with a flash of inspiration, you will be able to think of routines and find a style of play that suits your team.
If the team that performed well in the first round relaxes, the chances of a rollover are still not small.
LGD, in the first round, also got a two-bar and one record, except for SKT, which has not been played, and other teams have won.
There is no inflated LGD, and it has played its due strength.
Now it seems that LGD should have no problem entering the quarterfinals, and the second place in the group is still stable.
A lot of people spray the quarterfinals, in fact, in the two darkest seasons of S5 and S6, the quarterfinals are already the best results.
There are no weak teams in the World Championships, and it is really not easy to get to the quarterfinals.
For some of the weaker regional teams, they have never made it to the quarterfinals in their lives......
Even TSM is home to the top 16 every year.
The big brother doublelift is a typical example of the top 16 every year.
If one of the five major regions has not reached the quarterfinals in a year, it will be unseeded.
TSM is in the round of 16 every year, but North America can still maintain three spots, all thanks to the No. 3 seed North American Light.
The North American team that has the best result every year is always the third seed.
After the first round, the TSM team was sprayed by the domestic explosion.
The top single One Piece was blown up by the sword queen, and the jungler couldn't even stay in the wild area.
On top of that, TSM also became the first team to surrender at the Worlds, literally losing the North American region!
The whole club is a little unbalanced in the mentality of being sprayed, and the powder loss is very serious.
Before this match, the North American audience had little impression of Chen Luoyang.
But this game completely made Chen Luoyang out of the circle.
And this also made the TSM people hate Chen Luoyang to the core.
stepped on TSM to become famous, Chen Luoyang directly became the public enemy of TSM!
What was supposed to be six or seven hours of training time has doubled all at once!
Dryus even cut off the picture of Chen Luoyang defeating him to get the MVP and pasted it directly on his computer.
Originally, Dryus was ready to retire after playing this S5, and wanted to shine his last glory at the World Championship.
But now......
If he does retire, he will really be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Instead of sympathizing with him, his fans will sneer and say that he was beaten and retired by Chen Luoyang.
How can this work?
He has to train hard!!
The next time you meet Chen Luoyang, you must call back!
……
In the LCK region, the KT team has also become the target of the competition.
As LCK's team, it was beaten by EDG with a delicate tower.
Gu Wei
This is the first time in the history of LCK......
The dead rats in the country are ready, just waiting for them to return home.
Whether it's OG or KT, or TSM, they are holding their breath and preparing for the second round of revenge against EDG.
……
The four days of the offseason are fleeting, and the second round of the group begins quickly.
But even if it's four days, it makes many viewers look forward to it.
"I'm going to go crazy if I don't play."
"It's a bit interesting to group this year, huh? All four No. 1 seeds won in the first round? ”
"In that case, the quarterfinals and semi-finals will look good!"
"It feels like the second round is about the same, it's not interesting."
"It's different, I will go to grab points in the second round, and I will definitely see a lot of different lineups, this is a life and death situation, and many tricks will be used!"
……
On the first day of the second round, October 8, Group A matches will be played first.
And the final result is also consistent with many people's expectations.
KOO won all six games and qualified first in the group.
The second-place FW qualified with a 4-2 record.
The second day's competition was also quick to give results.
The first place in the group was won by FNC, while the second place in the group was won by the C9 team.
As the light of North America, C9 once again represented the North American region to the quarterfinals.
And on the third day, the attention was high.
On the third day, it was a match between LGD and SKT.
However, apart from these two teams, H2K and BKT have little chance of appearing.
Although LGD is playing hard, the gap between the top orders still dominates the battle again.
However, Wei Shen also played a wave of quite eye-catching operations with Jiaoyue, and killed faker in the early stage to justify his name.
In the end, SKT advanced to the quarterfinals with a record of six wins, while LGD managed to reach the knockout round with a record of 4-2.
……
October 11th.
The last day of the second round of the group stage.
On this day, it was also the day of the EDG competition.
As the first place on the fist poison milk list, Chen Luoyang's fame is increasing day by day.
The dominance, mentality, awareness, operation, hero pool and other aspects of the game all completely exploded the opposing players.
Such a person reminds people of the faker in S3.
And in this top-list version, everyone is paying attention to Chen Luoyang, and they want to know if Chen Luoyang can dominate a world championship like faker, so that all opponents can become his background board.
……
"In today's game, I feel that EDG should have no problem winning the group."
PDD shrugged, very relaxed.
Although QG was eliminated, LGD was promoted.
Coupled with EDG, there are two teams in the LPL division that have entered the quarterfinals, which is not bad.
"That's right, I was worried that the blue side would play more in the first round of EDG, and the red side would suffer in the second round, but now it seems that if the captain doesn't have to bear the ban position of the hero, we will play a lot easier."
Sika also breathed a sigh of relief.
The biggest disadvantage of the red side is to take on the ban position of Iron Man and Captain.
But EDG is quite capable of dealing with the captain, and this is comfortable.
In fact, in the first three days of the second round, both the captain and the iron man were released, but the captain only won 80% of the game, and the iron man was 100%.
There are always teams that think they have got the version of the answer, and secretly contact a hand that can restrain the iron man or the captain's routine.
Admittedly, the captain eats the player proficiency very much, and it is not an easy thing to hold on to until the late stages.
But the 80% win rate is still a bit low.
On the other hand, Iron Man, this hero is simple to operate, but in fact he doesn't eat proficiency, only consciousness and team rhythm.
Therefore, in the entire S5 World Championship, Iron Man can be said to be an undefeated myth.
……
"If EDG don't put Iron Man today, you should be able to win, Iron Man is too fierce......"
After the doll finished speaking, EDG really didn't disappoint them.
Pawn got Lulu again, and it was still the familiar 41 system.
Chen Luoyang dominated the game again after getting the crocodile, and in the second game against OG, it only took 22 minutes for EDG to successfully push off the opponent's base.
After getting four points, EDG is already firmly qualified.
KT, on the other hand, also maintained a winning streak after losing to EDG, and by the time five games were played, KT's record was 4-1.
And the fourth game, EDG vs. TSM.
The fifth game is TSM vs. OG.
The match with TSM once caused a lot of trouble to EDG, and the No. 1 Nakano in North America got a strong lineup in the early stage, and the first-class team invaded and forcibly changed the line.
For a top top laner, even if the line change game can withstand pressure, the development is definitely not as smooth as before.
EDG once fell into a disadvantage in the early stage, but with the steady operation of the disadvantaged game, in the late stage, the three Cs made efforts at the same time, and played a perfect team battle to end the game.
5-0, EDG has already qualified, even if it loses the last game against KT.
Both teams will also have to play an extra game to decide who will win the group at 5-1.
However, Chen Luoyang, who did not play an advantage in the line change game, became the reason for the sunspot fanaticism.
"What's the world's No. 1 order? That's it?? ”
"Why haven't the world's No. 1 duo ever played?"
"There are two people on the other side who can't beat it, and the world's No. 1 top single can only play a dozen to play more and play less!"
"Why did EDG explode this time? Win all five battles? It's really the light of domestic production......"
……
The remarks on the Internet are naturally unknown to the EDG public.
But even if you know, you will only laugh it off.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's just black for the sake of black.
In the final game, EDG faced KT again, and this battle was also the last game of the group stage.
However, if EDG loses this one, there will be a play-off game to play.
There's no team that doesn't want the top spot in the group.
Because the team that wins the group faces the second place from the other group in the quarterfinals.
Relatively speaking, it will be easier to fight.
It will also be easier to advance to the semi-finals.
In the eleventh World Championship in the previous life, there were three champions in the group, namely S7's Samsung and S8's IG, and S11's EDG......
S3's SKT and OMG both qualified 7-1, and there was no need to play play-offs.
Because the rules of that session were very special, the No. 1 seeds in the four major regions (Southeast Asia, LCK, LPL, North America) directly advanced to the top 8 and avoided each other, so there were only two groups A and B in the group stage, and the top two teams in each group of 5 entered the knockout round and were drawn directly, so the results of the qualifying teams did not need to play play-offs because they were all No. 2 seeds.
However, the group ranking of all the materials that year was still SKT first and OMG second, because of the length of the game, SKT won OMG and pushed it in about 20 minutes, and OMG won SKT and relied on Faker barrels for 40 or 50 minutes.
Moreover, for KT, if they can win the group, there is also a very important significance.
That is to avoid the civil war in the quarterfinals......
Whether it is SKT or KOO, they will advance as the group leader, and if they qualify as the group second, there is a great probability that they will meet the LCK team.
There is only a one-in-a-half chance that you will meet the FNC, as the quarterfinals are avoided in the same group.
In other words, if it goes well, they will only see EDG in the finals.
This point,In the previous life, the ig of S8 did this.。
In the group stage, FCC won one of the three games, and was killed in the last two games, but in the final, he played a 3-0 game, and he was proud of it.
……
"Against EDG, we have to do our best, and we must not lose again, understand? This time we're on the blue side, and we're coming up with the ultimate move for the training match! ”
"Yes!"
KT everyone's eyes were full of anger, they were kept clean in the first round by EDG, they were under too much pressure.
In the past few days, they have practiced a big move, and they must teach EDG a lesson!
Let the whole world know that they will always be the first!
Even if it is the third seed, it is an existence that others cannot hope for!
