On October 18th, the day of the draw arrived.

The weather on this day was exceptionally pleasant, with clear skies cloudless, which would make you feel good at a glance.

Xu Ruoguang is probably the first to come every time.

He was wearing the same UR uniform as usual, his expression was calm and calm, and there was not much expression on his handsome face, and he quietly came to the big screen and sat down, ready to watch today's lottery ceremony.

After a while, there was a rustling sound behind him, and Xu Ruoguang didn't even look back, "Xiu'er, here?" ”

Except for Xu Xiu, there should be no one else.

After the last fight yesterday, Redmi didn't assign training tasks for them to rest on their own.

Idle is also idle.

The ghost is on the same line as Uzi solo a lot, and it's normal to not be able to get up now.

And Canyon went out to buy snacks for everyone, and opened the training mode by himself to think about the wild route for a long time, and now naturally he can't get up.

Xu Xiu is the only one who rests relatively early, and he knows how to recuperate.

And the rest of the beryl...... Although he went straight back to his room yesterday.

But Xu Ruoguang didn't think that Beryl, a lazy dog, could get up, and he slept very late, and he was in his two-dimensional mobile game all night.

Facts have proved that Xu Ruoguang is really accurate in seeing people.

Xu Xiu touched his somewhat messy hair, and dragged his slippers to his side.

"Morning, Brother Guang."

He said as he snorted at Hatche.

Rubbing his eyes, he looked ahead blankly, and the focus of his eyes returned to his senses.

Then he said hello to Xu Ruoguang again.

"Morning, Brother Guang."

Xu Ruoguang: ......?

"Morning, do you want to drink?"

He handed over a bottle of Wangzai, and Xu Xiu took it directly without hesitation.

Skillfully opening the pull tab, it is a mouthful.

Under the influence of Xu Ruoguang, there are basically few Korean players who don't like Wang Zai.

Everyone likes this mysterious dairy product from China.

Xu Ruoguang is also the spokesperson of Wangzi Milk in LCK.

Every month, when UR's logistics aunt purchases things, she has to go back to China to pull more than a dozen boxes of Wangzi over, and the purchase volume is huge.

However, after this mouthful, Xu Xiu suddenly felt a warmth welling up in his heart, and the whole person instantly felt a lot more energetic.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not impressed.

Yes, this Wang Tsai milk is hot.

"Mo? Is it actually hot? ”

He couldn't help but take another sip, and the warm taste made him close his eyes.

Don't say, enjoy!

In Korea, there are only two options for drinking milk: room temperature and ice, and it is rare to drink hot milk.

In fact, it is normal, and we seem to be the only ones in the world who emphasize drinking more hot water.

Xu Xiu used to think that what was the difference between drinking hot milk and directly grabbing the cow and sucking it?

But now he realizes he's a little wrong.

This...... It's delicious, isn't it?

"Brother Guang, do you know what you just said to me about another bottle of hot Wangzi in your hand?"

Xu Ruoguang glanced at the other bottle of Wang Zai in his hand that had not yet been opened, and especially stared at Wang Zai's eyes.

There are some doubts.

"This thing can talk?"

"Yes!"

Xu Xiu nodded seriously,

"Did you hear it, Brother Guang, it said it wanted to go home with me."

Xu Ruoguang: ......

"Put away your boring sense of humor and want to drink yourself to heat it up."

"Inside!"

Xu Xiu sat up straight for a second, his face was serious, and he saluted.

Xu Ruoguang covered his face with disgust, "Have you made enough trouble?" ”

Xu Xiu laughed at this time.

Xu Xiu in life is a very interesting person.

Although many times inexplicably hit the chicken blood, from time to time shouting "Ah, I want to recast the glory of the LCK!" "Ah, I'm going to be the second faker! No! The first Showmaker! ”

But most of the time, after finishing the training, he is actually really interesting, often telling some very cold jokes, and sometimes playing rank, starting to cry wolf and humming unknown songs.

If it weren't for Xu Xiu often inviting Xu Ruoguang to eat Korean beef, Xu Ruoguang would definitely stop it and let him stop.

However, his "sincerity" is too much.

"Morning, boys."

Still beach pants, Redmi rubbed her somewhat sour eyes, picked her stomach and walked over, saying hello by the way.

It's a little itchy, but I took a shower yesterday.

Redmi was a little confused.

After tickling it, he was habitually digging at the crotch of his pants to adjust the trajectory, but suddenly became alert.

The kids are here!

So he patted his half-raised hand and said with a smile.

"Yes, Wuli Middle School came early."

"Ani, brother, can you pay attention to your image, ...... wearing this dress?"

Xu Xiu looked at Hongmi and questioned.

Hongmi sat next to Xu Ruoguang, patted Xu Ruoguang's shoulder, and said with a smile,

"It's okay, this is our lounge, it doesn't matter if you dress lazily."

"When I was BP, I was all dressed up."

"Do you think my brother isn't handsome enough in a suit?"

Xu Ruoguang looked at the hand on his shoulder and fell into deep thought.

If he guessed correctly, Redmi wanted to dig out his crotch.

But he didn't dig it out halfway.

So the hand should be clean.

But......

Is it possible that Redmi has already been picked up on the road?

Xu Ruoguang moved to the side without a trace.

The famous philosopher Liu Huaqiang once said: When you doubt that a melon is a raw melon egg, then it is already unripe.

At that moment, at this moment.

When Xu Ruoguang suspected that Hongmi had already pulled out the crotch of his pants, whether he had pulled it out or not, this hand was already unclean.

After a while, all the UR players arrived.

Before the draw began, Redmi naturally began to chat.

"What kind of grouping do you want to draw?"

Xu Ruoguang didn't hesitate, "Just draw the LPL team, BLG, IG is casual, but IG No. 1 seed, it should only be able to draw BLG, a one-third probability, I don't know if it will work." ”

You can't draw the No. 1 seed.

Similarly, teams that qualify from the same group will only be able to meet again in the finals.

That's why Xu Ruoguang said a one-third probability, because RNG will definitely not be drawn.

"Sure enough."

Redmi is not surprised, Xu Ruoguang has wanted to play the LPL team for not a day or two.

"What about you, Xiu'er?"

Xu Xiu frowned and thought about it,

"My words, I probably hope that there will be no civil war, whether it is LPL or LCK, there is no civil war."

He hated civil wars.

"Let's smoke FNC, I'm more interested in FNC."

Uzi said with a smile.

He has also fought against FNC's AD Ou Cheng many times.

It's normal to want to fight with acquaintances.

"I want to play against G2, and jankos looks good."

Canyon thought for a moment and said seriously.

Among the junglers in Europe, jankos is the only one in Canyon that is more impressive.

Redmi was about to say something, and the draw ceremony had begun.

So he turned his head and began to take a serious look with the team.

And at the same time.

KT，SKT，IG，BLG，RNG……

And so on and so forth.

The players who made it to the quarterfinals gathered in their lounges to watch the draw ceremony.

And what is more excited and eager than them is naturally the fans.

"Hurry, hurry!"

"It's not open, it's not open, it's not open?"

"Mousserian, are you M's gone?"

"Minecart!"

"No one really buys any Mercedes Benz, right?"

"I've already bought the KDA skin, please hurry up and start doing it?!"

"Why are there so many advertisements?"

The LPL audience is a little grumpy.

I've been putting ads!

Although it's true that it's not time yet, everyone received the news that you started broadcasting and thought it had been opened, but you put an ad for more than ten minutes, which is really bullish!

Fortunately, it seems that the impatient voices of the audience were heard, and after a black screen, the picture was given to the commentators of the home stadium of the draw.

"Okay summoners, welcome to the scene of the 2018 League of Legends quarterfinals draw ceremony, which will bring you the group draw of the eight teams after fierce competition in the group stage!"

"Hello everyone, I'm the commentator, Guan Zeyuan!"

Colonel Guan had a loud voice, wearing a royal blue suit and a tie in a regular manner, giving people a very good first feeling.

"Hello everyone, I'm remember!"

Wang Lao Er also smiled.

In any case, RNG still made it to the quarterfinals after all, which is relatively satisfactory for him, a person who likes RNG.

At this time, with the introduction of the Korean host on the spot, some clips and pictures of the eight teams in the group stage began to be played.

"What we see now, first of all, is the wonderful picture from our LPL team IG!"

Colonel Guan said with a smile.

In the picture, the position of IG's original team battle is very poor.

But at a certain moment, the three Cs turned back instantly, and theshy's vampire R flashed in, providing a chance for Ah Shui's Kaisha to enter the field.

Kai'Sa flies into the battlefield and completes the harvest!

Accompanying this picture is the passionate commentary of the European and American commentary.

"Unbelievable teamfights, almost perfect coordination!"

"IG tore apart the opponent's resistance in an instant, and the team battle that was originally lost was won?!"

"Beautiful!"

"This is IG!"

Immediately after that, some clips from other teams began to play continuously.

There is a G2.

Perkz and Wunder, a demon queen and a sword demon, fought on the opposite side, and the four people fled in the wilderness.

There is BLG.

Ah Bin's Qinggang Shadow is seven in and seven out in the field, and it is directly killed in seconds when it is driven to the C position at a long distance!

There is SKT.

After faker's Ruiz TP circled, a set of combos fixed the opponent's C position, and SKT swarmed up to complete the harvest of the team battle.

There are FNC's.

CAPS took out Jace and directly crippled the opposite bottom lane group with a single shot, causing cheers on the field.

There is KT's.

Deft's Kasumi kept pulling, without any skills, perfectly avoiding the opponent's opening and winning four kills!

There are RNG's.

Verus, who walked A, frantically walked A in the team battle, saving the team battle that had collapsed. One shot WQ snatched the dragon from the opponent's hands and completed the comeback!

In the end, of course, it's UR.

With Xu Ruoguang's dazzling operation, Ssumday was killed on the spot!

It looks like just an ordinary single kill.

But only those who watched the game knew how disgusting the fists were......

Colonel Guan's expression was strange: "Ouch, what are you doing with your fists?" Can this be cut as well? ”

Is this intended to make Ssumday the second RYU?

Don't do that kind of thing!

You know, the mid-laner in the 100T where Ssumday is now is RYU!

It's too much to whip a corpse for so long, and now you still have to whip the corpse on his list?!

Fist, such you, very baby!

The draw ceremony officially began.

The person in charge of the No. 1 seed pool is Aya Hirano.

After all, in last year's championship area, the privilege of drawing the No. 1 pool still has to be had.

Today's Aya Hirano is also dressed very formally.

He stretched out his hand and began to draw one by one.

And the hearts of the LPL audience have also been raised.

"Please, draw! Don't draw into the Civil War! ”

"Aya Hirano, don't be an eyebrow pencil!"

"Let's draw the two Korean teams together, please, Aya Hirano."

Aya Hirano got the first ball, slowly opened it, glanced at it, and smiled.

“G2！”

The next moment, the first team in the upper half of the region appeared with the name of G2.

Ah P is already starting to get nervous.

He stared at the screen and prayed earnestly,

"Don't draw UR, don't draw UR, don't draw UR!"

He knows too well how fierce UR is.

He really didn't want to run into UR.

It seems that his prayers were heard from above.

The second No. 1 seed to be drawn, like G2, is in the top half of the bracket......

IG！

Ah P just breathed a sigh of relief and lifted it up again.

Pinch the!

It's true that I didn't draw UR, but IG isn't weak!

IG also played very dominantly in the group stage, and at first glance it was rushing to win the championship.

Ah P closed his eyes.

Damn, I'm dizzy by Aya Hirano.

Seeing his look, Jankos guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but be comforted.

"It's okay, is it possible that we are already gone in the quarterfinals? Bro, we can't touch IG. ”

P: ?

He opened his eyes and smiled.

He patted Jankos on the shoulder.

"Good brother, you are really comforting."

Jankos couldn't help but be a little smug, "Really? Hahaha, huh? Hahaha, my mom always says that. ”

The top half has been determined, and the next step is naturally the bottom half.

The third one to be drawn out was none other than SKT.

And the last one, of course, is UR.

Upper Half:

G2

IG

Lower Half:

SKT

UR

The draw for the second round will naturally be conducted by LCK players.

And this time the LCK also invited a relatively heavyweight guest.

Once the champion of S4, the midlaner, has returned to South Korea, pawn!

Seeing familiar people, EDG fans were a little excited.

"Pawn...... It's been a long time since I've seen him. ”

"Alas, the back injury is so deadly."

"I'm super, fat daddy!"

"Where's Mingkai'er?"

It can only be said that although Ming Kai is no longer in the rivers and lakes, his little black man still hasn't forgotten him.

Tearful eyes, family, there are still many births in the world.

The pinnacle is only hypocritical advocates, and at dusk, can witness true believers!

Pawn smiled shyly, nodded, and began the second round of the draw.

And now SKT fans are a little dizzy, because UR and SKT are pumping together again.

It's embarrassing.

This year, SKT had a chance to be the runner-up.

Or that whoever meets UR first with KT will send it first.

But some of them were unlucky at the time, SKT and UR were in the same half zone.

And now the World Championship is divided into one and a half zones again!

Everyone knows how fierce UR is now.

Even though SKT fans still believe in SKT, it still feels tricky.

They know it's always going to be fought.

But can't you just play in the final?

It's too uncomfortable to meet the top four!

But when they said this, KT fans were a little upset.

"What if we KT also go to the lower half? Don't look like KT has taken advantage of it! It's disgusting! ”

"What if we KT and you SKT get together? You don't really think you're going to be able to beat our KT, do you? ”

And while they were arguing, Pawn had already completed the final draw.

After the adjustment of the avoidance principle of the same group, the final quarter-finals have appeared!

Upper Half:

G2 vs. RNG

IG vs. FNC

Lower Half:

SKT vs. KT

UR vs. BLG

The draw is over!

Some people are happy and some are sad, and the saddest thing is undoubtedly BLG fans.

"Alas, it's so hard to beat Brother Guang...... Even if you can really win Brother Guang, you still have to play KT or SKT...... It's hard to think about. ”

"It's over, how can this qualify......"

However, Abin began to get excited.

"I didn't expect to fight so soon."

Abin really doesn't care about grouping.

He thinks that the best group is in the strong team.

Because the gold content is high after winning the championship in this way, isn't it?

He is indeed not afraid of a challenge.

And the second saddest thing is the fans of SKT and KT.

"Why are all three of our teams in the bottom half? Is there a shady scene? ”

"That's right...... It's really uncomfortable for us to play KT and SKT, even if we qualify, we still have to fight with UR, and then there will be a civil war, and the two civil wars will directly beat the three teams to only one, which is also a big loss! ”

"It's okay, right...... At least one can be guaranteed to enter the finals. ”

"Obviously, if you can fight in the finals, why should you be satisfied with one team? Who is rare! ”

However, the LPL audience was not very happy either.

Because in the first half, if RNG comes out, in fact, there is a high probability that the LPL will also have a civil war.

Civil war is something that many people hate, but it is okay, and many times it cannot be avoided.

What about European and American audiences?

That's even more unhappy.

IG is considered to be almost as a title contender to compete with UR on par with SKT.

Although the momentum shown by FNC seems to be okay.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that IG's top order gap is a bit big.

The mid lane caps are fine, but the FNC top lane is not very ...... Top.

Although the current FNC top single bwipo [Bibab] is not bad, it is still somewhat inferior to theshy, who has already shown his edge.

The gap is a bit big.

So the question is, everyone doesn't seem to be very happy, so who is happy?

In the G2 lounge.

"Hahahaha!"

Ah P was laughing maniacally.

Of all the top eight teams, he thinks the best team to play is RNG.

This is also the only team he is more confident of winning.

Because the RNG style of play is too inappropriate for the version!

Their mid-to-upper strength, too poor!

Obviously, the rest of the G2 players basically felt the same way.

So now the G2 lounge is very happy and laughing.

So, what about the RNG lounge at the moment?

At the moment when the dust settled on the group, the account couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha!"

After laughing for a while, he glanced at the incense pot and paused.

The incense pot also showed a slightly relieved smile.

Hit G2...... It's already a blessing in misfortune.

The incense pot still has a little bit of confidence.

At least for him, it's good now that there is no civil war.

And after the incense pot showed a smile, the seller began to laugh twice.

"Hahahaha!"

RNG, have a great time!

Both sides felt that the other side was the weakest opponent in the quarterfinals. Both sides felt that they could win the game.

In a sense, it's a kind of fate.

At this time, the pig haggis was already starting to get angry.

"It's disgusting, playing G2 won't make RNG reach the top four, right?"

"Alas, although RNG is not very good, but the opponent G2 is a European No. 3 seed, so it is even worse!"

"It's broken!"

However, RNG fans have now come back to life with full blood, so naturally they will start opening champagne directly.

This can be regarded as a traditional art.

"Hahaha, pig haggis in a hurry, how does it feel like your home team falling to the top 16? Hahaha, I'm going to enter the top four in my big RNG, this is a result that EDG can't touch in a lifetime, right? ”

"Promise me, if the home team doesn't make it to the semi-finals, please row away!"

"Are you in a hurry? Seeing that RNG, which you look down on, is about to enter the top four, you should be in a hurry to cry by now, right? ”

Champagne?

Just drive it for me!

What?

You say RNG will lose to G2?

Put nmdp, my RNG will lose to G2?!

"Hit BLG?"

Xu Ruoguang smiled thoughtfully.

"I really got it, and I'm lucky."

BLG is also a memory for him.

Of course, it's not the BLG team, it's the BLG players.

Whether it is Abin who is on the list, or Nakano Toothpaste and Xiaotian, they are all the second team players that Xu Ruoguang once found.

Oh, not exactly.

Abin belonged to the door by himself.

Playing such a team, Xu Ruoguang naturally has some expectations.

After all, they are all old acquaintances, and it is also a pleasure to see how they are progressing.

He is in the fourth year of his career.

Xu Ruoguang is not very old among the League of Legends professional players, but he is also an out-and-out old thing in terms of generation.

And this time, let's fight BLG once.

It depends on whether Xu Ruoguang explodes the gold coins, or whether these little players who once recognized him are once again shrouded in his claws.

Xu Ruoguang, looking forward to it.

After the draw, the UR players immediately entered a new round of training.

There are only two days left until the quarter-finals.

UR has a lot of responsibility on them because they are the No. 1 seed in the LCK.

They don't want to......

The first battle of the world championship - key battle - quarterfinals - Seoul station - it's home!

If UR falls to the quarterfinals, it is unimaginable how badly he will be scolded.

It's pressure, but it's also motivation.

After all, it's impossible to play a career and you don't want to be under pressure, the right thing to do is to turn pressure into motivation.

In intense training, time always flies.

Saturday, October 20th, afternoon.

The first match of the quarterfinals, RNG, against G2, is about to begin!

Tomorrow is the battle for UR.

So today's UR is still gathered in the lounge to watch this BO5.

"Brother Guang, who do you think will win?"

Xu Xiu waited for the game to start, and suddenly asked with some curiosity.

“G2。”

Xu Ruoguang did not hesitate at all.

"Why?"

"Because Uzi can't save RNG, it can't go to A."

Xu Ruoguang replied calmly, almost indifferently.

The problem of RNG is not so simple to solve.
