Chapter 411: Winning the Qualification
The mid-season championship is almost three weeks long, the first week is the group stage, the second week is the confrontation match, and the third week is the knockout round.
The champion is always alone, the one who defeats all the opponents is the ultimate champion, and there will be one team after another along the way.
It's as if kings are all lonely, because only those who defeat everyone and are above everyone are kings, and anyone around you who is like you is not a real king.
A lot of people will miss the time when they were just starting out, because there were a lot of people like you at that time, and although you have to fight them, it will be really lively.
The group stage was very lively, with several teams competing each day, and each game saw a different player competing, the style was constantly changing, and the fierce battles made the audience addicted.
Mainly, with the exception of the four regions and the team that used to be the fifth region and then canceled and merged, they have the ambition to enter the knockout round, and the main idea of the teams in the other regions is to show themselves.
They know that there is a huge gap between them and the four major regions, and they just want to show their style as much as possible at the World Championships.
This will make them more remembered, more people will watch them when they go live, more endorsements will find them, and their teams will find more sponsors.
Every World Championship is a feast, and it's not just the champions who get a piece of the pie, but also teams that don't intend to win the championship but end up playing a great game can also get a lot of attention.
For example, in the era of domination of the LCK, one of the teams of the LEC almost overturned the triple crown of the LCK, and although they still lost the game in the end, their creativity and hard work left a very deep impression on everyone.
Every year, every World Championship will have such a team, and there will always be a star player in such a team, although he is in the wild card area, but still leaves a deep impression on the audience, so as to gain a lot of endorsements and attention, and then become the representative of the region.
That way, even in the wild card area where there is not much attention, they can still do well.
And they generally don't leave their own divisions, because they know that there is still a gap between their strength and the four major regions, and when they get to the four major regions, they may be out of the crowd, and they will have strong competitiveness in their own divisions, and those team owners will also spend a lot of money to keep their star players.
In such a situation, the group stage can be said to be very exciting, all the wild card regions are riveting to show themselves, and all kinds of strange tactics have been brought out.
As long as they can upset a team in one of the four major regions, they can make a name for themselves.
But in this way, you will be a little impatient, so it will be easy to find flaws......
CR showed a strong level of competition from day one, and although it was a World Championship, the pressure it could put on them was not much.
The pressure on the teams in the wild card region is not as good as in the LPL, so in the past few days of the group stage, Li Shuyao and they have been playing all the way, directly winning 6 consecutive wins to win the first place in the group, and there is no defeat.
And almost every one of them was close to a massacre...... Jing Yi played the same hero six times, and played six games with one routine, and there was no intention of changing tactics at all.
But even so, it was still an easy six wins.
Like CR, the undefeated team is the LCK's DF, and their team has also shown extremely strong strength, the LCS, which is also in the same four major regions, is in the same group as DF, but DF still beat each other twice in a row.
——
On the day of the end of the Group A competition where CR is located, many anchors commented on CR's performance this time:
"Today, let's congratulate this CR on successfully entering the competition, in fact, I felt from the beginning that for CR, this record is quite normal," the wine jug said with a smile on the live broadcast, as the first hero Lian Mo anchor to meet Li Shuyao, he always felt that he had watched others grow up.
Based on this simple emotion like an old father, Li Shuyao will reward Li Shuyao for every competition, and his name is almost always on the fan contribution list.
But he always can't grab the first place, and even the top three are not easy, Ma Dan's top few are all what the hell, no way, Li Shuyao's own videos and live broadcasts are not small, and her eldest brother is really endless.
"That's right, CR can be said to be one of the few very dominant spring champions in the LPL in recent years, don't look at Li Shuyao's first time in the arena, the audience from the beginning knows how strong she is."
The flask smiled hesitantly:
"Let me tell you, as far as her suppressive power on the line is concerned, not to mention the strongest in history, it's also one of the best, really, not blowing, you see her in this group stage, there is more than one single kill in each game, and the top single on the opposite side is as if there is none, this suppressive force reminds me of S8's brother sun."
"Haha, yes, yes, the kind of one person surrounding five people, you look at these few times, Li Shuyao is a little too relaxed, and he has died several times, this is actually to be reviewed, and when it comes to the confrontation and knockout rounds, it will be a loss."
It is normal for the wine jug to know Li Shuyao's name, and when the list is released, the ID and real name are sent together, for that kind of star player, many people like to call their names directly.
It's very intimate.
"I'm sure CR knows that they shouldn't have to worry about that......"
"I saw a view that you should lose once and be more cautious when you go into the match, and I don't agree with that."
"The opponents in the group stage this time are all wild card regions, and this loss will hurt their morale too much, and the domestic public opinion will explode directly, which is definitely impossible to lose."
"The more you go to the World Championship for the first time, the more you need to build confidence in the early stage, and at this time, the winning streak is just the stage of building confidence, and many times it is a question of whether you dare to fight, if you dare, if you rush, you win, if you don't dare, then you lose...... Those games that we lost by a big advantage just don't dare to play. ”
"Of course, there are risks in daring to fight, and if you don't play well, it's easy to explode, so courage and strength are indispensable, and you can win the championship by taking both into account."
"Now CR has the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and also has the strength to win the championship, I think...... Well, at least make it to the finals. ”
The wine pot classmate is still a little conservative, and he didn't directly say that he won the championship, after all, this thing still has to be a little reserved, and it's only the group stage now, and it will explode if the confrontation overturns.
"Let's give them enough confidence, there are three people in the team who are participating in the World Championship for the first time, I feel that they have performed well enough in the first week, even if they lose a few games in the next match, but as long as they can enter the knockout round, they will definitely be able to burst out with strong fighting power."
"Okay, okay, let's watch today's game again, it's really too ferocious, haha, wait for the match, wait to see the collision of CR and DF."
