The schedule of the first two days was relatively easy for the LPL.

It was only after the collision of EDG and SKT that the intensity began to appear.

Day 3.

RNG, which started 2-0 from Europe's No. 1 seed G2 and Vietnam's big brother GAM, will play SSG.

IG, which easily defeated the North American IMT and the European rabbit MSF, played against LZ, the strongest dark horse in the LCK.

"It's mainly up to RNG, IG doesn't have much chance."

The factory director held a bowl of ice noodles and muttered while eating: "You can't expect the No. 4 seed to beat the No. 1, 2 and 3 seeds and finally enter the finals." ”

This is a common sentiment among commentators, spectators, and even members of other professional clubs.

Actually, don't say the No. 4 seed.

The No. 2 and No. 3 seeds in many regions are in the mix, and even the No. 1 seed is not given enough attention.

What's more, IG's entry into the World Championship is a ride on the expansion of the competition system.

Inside the LPL, EDG is the first gear.

RNG and WE are the second gear.

IG can only be regarded as a strong person in the third gear, and it has not yet reached the level of 'leader'.

And the third gear of the mainstream division...... Is there a fundamental difference from the best team in the wild card?

At least in the minds of most people, no.

Even if IG kills IMT and MSF in a row, it is still not enough to reverse the impression.

So.

RNG and SSG are the focus battles of the day.

Lineup.

SSG is on the blue side, and takes out the combination of the top laner tree, the wild boar girl, the mid laner Ruiz, and the bottom lane mouse Gallo.

RNG is on the red side, top laner Galio, jungler prince, mid laner Sindra, and bottom lane small cannon wind girl.

In the first ten minutes, RNG all three ways dominated.

But it's really nothing.

The LPL is good at fighting, and the LCK focuses on operations.

At the beginning of the game, it was easy for the LPL team to take the lead on the field.

However, if you are not careful, you will be tricked into it by the LCK team in various ways.

In particular, RNG led by 2,000 yuan in 10 minutes, and still led by 2,000 yuan in 20 minutes, and the gap did not widen at all, which cast a shadow on the hearts of onlookers.

Until twenty-four and a half minutes......

RNG imitates the 'pocket' formation arranged in the middle lane during the SKT and EDG matches, and catches Lo who is the first to be the vision.

Then enter the chase mode.

UZI, who uses a small cannon, takes the lead and rushes to the front of the line.

One person put himself in the face of the entire SSG team, leaving all the other members of the RNG behind.

Kill the Remnant Pig.

With Sindra's EQ putt and Wind Girl flashing and blowing, he took away Mouse and Ryze one after another, and easily got Baron Nash.

And when the second tower was still there, he stormed the high ground to start a group.

It took five seconds to melt the four main players of SSG, and the game was ended in one wave.

"Beautiful!" Ah Shui clapped his hands.

"It's really beautiful, these two waves of groups have the style I had back then." Factory director's comments.

"Brother Factory, can you explain ClearloveRun?" Xing Dao was very curious.

"I call it strategic retreat, do you understand strategic retreat?" The factory director spread his hand without changing his face: "When you can't beat it, you must save your living power, especially the jungler, because the jungler will definitely point rune affinity, and the duration of the buff is 15% more, which is more effective than other positions." ”

"Brother Changzi, the older you get, the thicker your skin becomes." Xing Dao couldn't help but complain.

"It's a little ...... for you Is it good to be black! The factory director laughed and scolded.

A few words of ridicule.

The EDG team members checked the sponsored merchandise again.

Make sure you are dressed correctly and don't have a five-figure fine on your back for missing bits and pieces before boarding the bus and heading to the venue.

Because it was in rush hour, there was a bit of a traffic jam.

Ten minutes away, hard to run for half an hour.

When I arrived at the Wuhan Sports Center and entered the stadium along the special passage, bursts of cheers poured in from the direction of the main stage.

Access to the lounge.

In the center of the monitor, an extremely startling picture appeared.

- IG faced LZ, played an 8-1 head to head ratio, and was storming the high ground with the baron BUFF.

"Isn't it?"

Abu wiped his eyes: "IG can beat LZ like this?" ”

"They all blew up in Ueno." BP coach Maokai looked at the data: "Cuzz is so sleepwalking during the training match, it may not be acting ......"

Top order position.

Theshy's record is 4-1-1.

Khan is 1-3-0.

Jungler.

Ning is 3-0-5.

Cuzz is 0-3-1.

The LZ Ueno duo sent out six heads, and the double C did not develop, making it completely impossible to fight in the mid-term team fight.

"Good news!" Abu was in good spirits.

SKT and SGG are well-known veteran powerhouses with a relatively fixed style.

Strong, not fake.

But there aren't many variables.

Belonging is strong within the scope of understanding.

Relatively speaking, it is easier to deal with.

And the strongest dark horse, LZ, has always been a tough way to race.

As an LCK team, it won the top spot in the region just by virtue of its fighting ability, and no one can say whether it hides a top operation.

But.

Look at the training match and the performance of this one.

Cuzz, a jungler who amazed the world when he debuted, should have really sleepwalked.

It didn't take long.

IG has found another opportunity to go to war.

Theshy and Ning unreasonably recklessly entered the crowd and directly took the BDD in the mid laner position.

Sapphire Blue complements the follow-up control.

Rookie and Sima Lao Thief have no pressure output, and the damage is full.

Played 0 for 5, bulldozed the base with a strengthened line, and got an extremely crucial point from LZ.

"Congratulations IG!"

The doll's voice came from the commentary seat: "If we win this game, IG will lead the group with a 3-0 record, just like RNG, and it is very likely to qualify as the first in the group." ”

"I really didn't expect IG to play so well today." Miller recalled: "Ning protected the top lane the whole time, completed a gank and two anti-squats, which helped Theshy build a very big advantage and then win. ”

"The No. 4 seed beats the No. 1 seed, and the pressure goes to the LCK."

"That's right, on the third day of the group stage, we still have a winning record against the LCK, and WE will definitely not lose to the LCK team...... Because Group D doesn't. The doll joked.

"Perfect start." Miller changed his words: "However, you can't be careless, because whether it is LCK or European and North American teams, the ability to adjust is excellent." ”

"The second round and the first round can be very different."

"Everyone should have an impression of the previous World Finals."

After the summary.

Coming to the MVP selection and post-match interviews.

EDG has been led up to the front desk by the staff to check on the peripherals.

This step must be taken seriously.

Even if peripheral failure is a small probability event within a small probability event, the entire competition area may not be able to encounter it a few times a year.

But as soon as it appears, it will break the rhythm of the flowing clouds.

Give the opponent whose brain is blank to breathe a sigh of relief, adjust the state and wait for the opportunity to turn the tables.

After confirming that everything is correct, go to the custom room created by the OB account.

Adjust the floor you are in.

You're all set, move on to Ban/Pick, and start Group 3 against the North American No. 3 seed C9!

It's late, it's still tonight, don't wait......
