"Turtle turtle, can SKT fall to second place??" Shi Senming's eyes widened, but he still felt a little surprised.

"What, you're scared?" Jack licked his lips excitedly, "I wish I would do SKT in the quarterfinals, and then do Dragon Ball, Samsung, copy our record during S6 last year, and pick the Korean team to play!" Last year, the South Korean team won the championship three times, and this year it can't be verified, the gold content of this championship is quack! ”

"I'll be afraid? If you're afraid, I'm not afraid. Shi Sen jumped to his feet angrily, "I just think it's incredible, is the innocence of the League of Legends professional circle about to change?" ”

"You can't underestimate them." Gao Tianliang explained, "The Korean team has always been slow to heat, and it can be seen that SKT is still a little unfamiliar with the version. ”

Slow heat is indeed a common problem for South Korea, and if you only look at the historical results in the group stage, the Korean team will not show extraordinary dominance and have not performed in a single way.

What they're really great about is their ability to adjust and learn in the knockout stages.

"Alright, let's go." Li Hansheng patted the players on the shoulders and motioned for them to hurry back to the backstage with him.

The draw for the quarterfinals took place on the last day of the group stage.

After Group D is played and all the places in the quarterfinals are determined, they will directly enter the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals.

At the time of the draw, each team needs to have one person on stage, and this depends on the official arrangement.

Li Hansheng deliberately chose the position close to the athletes' passage when they chose the position of the audience, and after showing the work badge to the security personnel at the scene, they directly climbed over the railing and returned to the backstage from the athletes' passage.

When I returned to the backstage, the other top eight teams also appeared backstage.

Guo Hao hurriedly beckoned Li Hansheng and the others to hurry back to the lounge.

There is still a need for a set-up on the site, so there is still a little time to discuss it for the time being.

"Actually, our opponents don't have anything to guess, it's nothing more than RNG, MSF or SKT." Guo Hao thought about it carefully, and the RNG and MSF in this were all given for nothing in the face of Taobo.

And SKT's slow heating state and lineup problems don't seem to be likely to pose too much of a threat to Taobo??

"The opponent is really easy to determine." Li Hansheng also nodded.

The rules for the draw for the quarterfinals of the League of Legends World Championship are actually not that complicated.

To put it bluntly, it is the first team in the group to play the second in the group, of course, there is a principle of avoiding the same group, which is the same as the team in the same division in the group stage draw rules to avoid in the group stage.

Of course......

At this stage of the quarterfinals, there will be no group in the same region that circumvents this principle.

However, there is one additional change.

Teams in the same group will be divided into different halves.

Like what......

If Taobo is placed in the top half of the draw at the time of the draw, then Samsung will not be in the top half of the group, but will only appear in the bottom half.

If two teams from the same group meet again after the group stage, it is only possible to meet in the final finals.

That's why the Samsung players don't have much pressure.

As long as they make sure the group is there, they won't be able to meet before the finals.

Even if they don't have the ability to defeat Taobo, they can count on other teams to defeat Taobo.

If at the end of the day, the other teams don't have a good solution, then they deserve to defend their World Championship title.

At the front desk, the commentators are also giving the audience the lottery rules for the top eight.

The staff on the stage have already set up the scene of the draw.

In fact, two booths are placed in the middle of the stage, and a transparent glass jar is placed on the top of the booth, and four balls are placed in each of them, which just correspond to the first team of the four groups and the second team of the four groups.

The lottery guest for the quarterfinals is OMG's super newcomer Zhongshan Leng Shaoi.

He can also be regarded as the leader in the domestic mid-laner, and he can always play a good performance on the field, and he and Sima Lao Thief form a double G team.

The main reason why we didn't achieve better results was because the team configuration was really poor.

It is difficult to rely on double C alone.

"Why don't you wait for Hansheng to go up and represent our team, right?" Guo Hao proposed.

Li Hansheng, as the soul of Taobo, is the absolute core.

He is also the top player in the entire LPL division, and the only one who can PK with Lee Sang-hyuk all over the world.

There is clearly no doubt about bringing him on stage to represent the team.

But......

Li Hansheng shook his head, "Why don't you let Ah Wei go, always let me make an appearance on behalf of me, there is no freshness at all, let Ah Wei go up and bring a little freshness to the audience." ”

Gao Dewei looked at Li Hansheng with a little 'surprise', and took the initiative to shake his head, "No, it's better for you to go up, after all, you are the core of our team." ”

"No, no, no, no." Li Hansheng shook his head.

There is a very important reason why he did this.

This may be the last World Championship that Wei Shen will play on behalf of Taobo.

Li Hansheng heard the news from Bee Boy.

How to say it.

At the beginning, Gao Dewei joined Taobo with a sigh of relief.

He has to prove himself to LGD management, and he also has to prove himself to the black powder who sprays himself.

There is absolutely no problem with his Gao Dewei's strength!

At the same time, I also want to make up for the regret of the S5 World Championship.

Gao Dewei never denied that the defeat in the S5 World Championship had nothing to do with him, and he also admitted that he was indeed inflated at that time, so he hoped to make up for the regrets left by his youthful frivolity.

Now.

He has proven it all.

There is a high probability that Taobo will also win the championship this year, so he will not only be equal to Lee Sang-hyuk in terms of the number of world championships, but will also surpass Lee Sang-hyuk and become the first mid-laner in history to win the S championship for a second consecutive year!

In the League of Legends project, he no longer has any pursuits to speak of.

It's like Jordan quit playing baseball after his first three-in-a-row championship.

There is nothing at the level of honor that attracts him anymore.

And he knows it well.

His teammates definitely want to continue to challenge for the World Championship in the S8 season.

So here's the problem.

If Taobo successfully defends the title this year, it has touched the bottom line of the fist, and if you want to continue to impact the championship in the S8 season, the price and effort you have to pay are absolutely immeasurable.

In the past few years, the LCK has been only a World Champion in the division, and Riot has hated them all the time.

As a team in the LPL division, it is unimaginable that it will be difficult for Riot to complete three consecutive championships, and Riot will definitely use the version changes to target Taobo, which means that the players of Taobo need to spend more energy training than others to ensure that they will not be eliminated by the version.

Under the premise that Gao Dewei did not pursue himself, it was difficult for him to devote that kind of excessive energy to training.

It's all kinds of targeted, and it's not good to train, isn't this the existence of the team dragging its feet?

A proud person like Gao Dewei would not allow this.

And the reason why he can't put too much energy into it is that his relationship with Bee Boy has reached that point.

The two have entered the point of talking about marriage.

As for why you are in such a hurry?

Ahem......

Isn't it Gao Dewei, a kid who accidentally 'created a man' in order to be happy for a while?

That's right!

The bee cub is pregnant.

It was checked out shortly before the World Championships, which also strengthened Gao Dewei's determination to retreat bravely.

Just leave the best of yourself to the audience.

Guo Hao is also another insider, when he saw Li Hansheng say this, he reacted, "Okay, just decide, Ah Wei, you go to the stage on behalf of the team." ”

Gao Dewei looked at the two of them and did not refuse again this time.

Coincidentally, the staff also came to inform the representatives of each team to appear on stage.

on stage.

Yu Shuang and Ren Dong waited for the players to appear on the court, and then spoke directly.

"Welcome to the draw for the 2017 League of Legends World Championship quarterfinals, hello everyone, I'm Ren Dong, I'm Yu Shuang." The two made a brief opening statement.

"The 24 teams that once had the dream of winning the championship, after the tragic battle in the group stage, there are only 8 teams left so far, so ...... Let's welcome the eight teams, starting with the four teams that will advance to the knockout stage as group winners. ”

The director immediately gave the camera to the members of the first team of the four groups.

On the Taobo side, it was Gao Dewei who was discharged, while on the Dragon Ball side, the oldest support representative of the team, Grela, was played, G2 was the mid-laner Perkz, and TSM chose to let their face man, the mid-laner Pilson, be the representative.

When the four people appeared, the audience gave strong cheers and applause to show their support for the players.

"This was followed by the four teams that qualified for the knockout stage as the second place in the group."

The camera swept over again......

Standing on the right side of the stage are the representatives of the four teams of the second team.

They are SKT's assistant wolf, MSF's assistant IGNAR, RNG's side is sent by Mr. Spicy Xiangguo Guo, and Samsung's side is to make the top single chubby withered become the representative of the team.

Then the two introduced the draw rules for the quarterfinals again.

The rules are not complicated.

That is, the first team in the group will play the second in the group, and the teams in the same group will not be divided into one and a half divisions.

After the rules are introduced.

Ren Dong spoke again, "Next, let's invite today's lottery guest, the mid-laner player I from OMG!" ”

Leng Shao was wearing a handsome suit with a white shirt underneath.

Li Hansheng took a special look.

Really......

The collar of his shirt has three black stars on it.

After Samsung won the championship, some people turned it out and said that Leng Shao's draw in the quarterfinals hinted at the ownership of the world champion of S7 this year in this way.

However, in this time and space, history is destined to continue to be rewritten!

Leng Shao came to the glass tank with a smile on his face, and the first thing he needed to draw was the four No. 1 seed teams, and he had to determine the upper and lower halves first.

Major Leng put his hand into the glass jar, and then symbolically used his hand to continuously move the ball to roll inside, and then took out one of them at random, and twisted the ball open under everyone's gaze.

The team logo that appears in his hand is a big red!

It's the Fighting Clan!

Immediately after that, he shot again, and the second team that was drawn out was a Western Dragon Eucalyptus with horns, and this is the Dragon Ball team!

"Wow!" Backstage, Shi Senming's eyes widened, "Let's play Dragon Ball in the semifinals?" ”

"Hey, you're so sure Dragon Ball will win?" Jack rolled his eyes, "What if...... Dragon Ball lost in the quarterfinals? ”

"It's unlikely, isn't it?" Shi Senming shook his head, "It's 5-1 in the group stage." ”

Li Hansheng just smiled and didn't speak.

Originally, in that time and space, Dragon Ball was still 6-0 in the group stage, and it didn't taste defeat.

As a result, the quarterfinals met Samsung and were directly sent away by Samsung 3-0, which surprised everyone.

It can only be said.

During the World Championship, everyone's understanding of the game and version is constantly changing.

Just because you're strong in the group doesn't mean you're right.

Maybe when you are resting, people have a new understanding, you fall behind in an instant, and then you can't keep up with the progress of others and are beaten.

In this way, Boom and Dragon Ball are in the upper half.

Then G2 and TSM are naturally divided into the lower half.

"If you look at it like this, it's very interesting." Li Hansheng looked fixedly, "The battle between China and South Korea in the first half, and the war between Europe and the United States in the second half, I can only say that in this grouping, the fist really won the game." ”

And the draw on the field is still going on.

However, at this point in the draw ceremony, the range of opponents in the quarterfinals has been narrowed down a lot.

Because the same group does not appear in the same half of the principle.

According to this.

Boom and Dragon Ball are from two groups, A and B, so RNG and Samsung can only appear in the bottom half.

Similarly.

SKT and MSF can only come to the top half.

Other words......

The opponent of the Tao Bo is either MSF or SKT, and there is no other possibility.

The commentators also mention this.

"For Taobo, if you draw MSF, it should be the most comfortable, after all, the overall strength of the rabbit team is average, they are the second place in Group C, and the overall strength of Group C is not strong enough."

"But...... Considering that SKT's recent form has not been very good, I think it would be better if we could have eliminated SKT in the quarterfinals early. ”

"After all, the learning ability of the SKT team is really terrifying, if they adapt to the version, I even think they are the scariest of the three Korean teams!"

Lee Sang-hyuk's prestige is so terrifying!

As long as SKT appears at Worlds, everyone will see them as one of the favourites and subconsciously fear them.

Leng Shao started the draw again.

This!

The first team he drew out, the team logo is also mainly red!

The team that finished second in the four groups had the RNG logo in yellow, the three-star team in blue and white, and the Rabbit team and SKT in red.

Can......

This team's logo has two stars on it!

Then the identity is about to come out.

A star represents a champion.

There is only one club in the world that can have two stars!

That's Team SKT!
