Both teams are at the highest level of B-foot, so this game is very much in the spotlight.

After some preparation, Brother Feng took the FPX crowd onto the field, leaving Qi Zhou in the lounge again.

After entering BP, Qi Zhou could feel that both teams were extremely serious and regarded each other as their only opponent.

Although this match will not affect the ranking and qualifying form, it is a matter of morale.

If FPX wins C9, it will be six consecutive wins, and the morale will definitely be very high.

Conversely, if C9 can prove their strength by beating FPX, the group leader, they will be more sure in the subsequent matches.

After the BP ended, Brother Feng quickly returned to the lounge and watched the game with Qi Zhou.

Like the previous face of VIT, Xiaotian was very active in the early stage and was always looking for opportunities, but C9 was obviously prepared and very close, not giving a chance, and at the same time, they seemed to have a lot of research on Xiaotian's GANK route, and they could insert the vision just right every time, Xiaotian was just going to go down the road GANK, and the next road was going to do the vision.

Xiaotian plans to go to the middle of the GAN K from the river below the middle lane, and the middle lane will go to the river to put a view before Xiaotian comes.

In this way, Xiao Tian couldn't find any offensive angle at all, and the rhythm was delayed.

Although FPX has a strong ability to play a group and a strong ability in the later stage, the lineup C9 in this game is more fierce in the later stage, so FPX has offensive pressure.

Seeing this, Brother Feng asked, "Sea King, who do you think can win?" Now it looks like we're not in a good place. ”

Qi Zhou: "It's estimated that it's gone, it's very inflated when it's not playing, and after playing it, it's going to be anxious when you find that you can't find a chance, this situation is easy to overturn, but it's not a bad thing, at least they won't swell again during this time." ”

The game time came to thirty minutes, and now FPX only has a slight economic lead of two thousand, and in Qi Zhou's opinion, if you add the lineup, in fact, FPX is the lagging side now.

Sure enough, after the two sides started to fight in a team battle, FPX did not take advantage, and this was still when they had advantages in operation and cooperation.

In the end, the game was dragged to 40 minutes, and FPX went from an advantage to a disadvantage, and the team started to lose the game, and then lost the game at the fifty minute mark!

After losing the FPX in this game, the LCK fans at the scene suddenly felt numb to win, and Qi Zhou could hear their cheers when he sat in the lounge!

It didn't take long for the FPX crowd to come back, but everyone's face was not very good-looking, and they were blowing all kinds of before they went out, but they were beaten like this, and they couldn't hold back for anyone.

Brother Feng greeted him and said, "How is it, doesn't it feel as simple as you imagined?" ”

Xiao Tian sighed: "Alas, we are still too inflated and taught to be human by C9. ”

Jin Gong: "It's still necessary to be modest, there are indeed no very weak teams in this year's S competition, basically every team has something. ”

Lin Weixiang: "Then we have to win the next game, otherwise we will have to play an extra match with C9." ”

FPX everyone looked at Qi Zhou, if they wanted to ensure the winning rate, it was best to let Qi Zhou play.

Qi Zhou said: "The main reason why you lost to C9 is that it is too inflated, and now that you have realized this problem, it should be easy to deal with VIT, so I won't go on and continue to rest." ”

FPX immediately felt the pressure after hearing this, if they lost to VIT, they needed to play a playoff match with C9 to determine who was the No. 1 seed, if they lost to C9 again, it would be the No. 2 seed, and the No. 2 seed in the quarterfinals would have to play the No. 1 seed from another group.

Although FPX still has this self-confidence, and he is sure of who he plays, there is no need to deliberately increase the difficulty for himself, and after entering the knockout round, he needs to use various routines, the stronger the opponent's strength, the more things will be exposed, and the second seed will be too difficult to play all the way to the road, and there will be nothing until the finals.

Seeing that everyone in FPX looked serious and seemed to feel a lot of pressure, Brother Feng beckoned: "Sit down, then let's discuss the tactics of the last game." ”

Qi Zhou still didn't mean to play, so he sat next to him and listened, mainly letting others formulate their own tactics and BPs.

This time, the discussion was much more serious than just now, and everyone was waiting for it.

After the VIT and GEN match, the FPX crowd took the field again, this time with VIT!

Only Qi Zhou was left in the lounge, and Qi Zhou lay down on the chair, and he was more relieved in this scene.

Soon, Brother Feng, who had finished BP, came back, and seeing that Qi Zhou was lying down and resting, Brother Feng said, "Don't you watch this game?" They probably won't roll over. ”

Qi Zhou shook his head: "No, if you can overturn the car when you play VIT, it will be troublesome." ”

Brother Feng: "Since you are so confident, then I am relieved." ”

The result was the same as Qi Zhou said, FPX won VIT lightly, got a 5-1 record, and determined the first position in the group.

This time, the FPX crowd returned to the lounge after the game, and they didn't show the same joy and excitement as they had won the game before, and they all looked quite calm.

In Qi Zhou's opinion, this is a good thing, although it is impossible to win the championship completely, but letting his teammates calm down and stop swelling can increase the probability of winning the championship.

"Everyone has worked hard, we have all played the group stage, it is not easy to get the first place in the group stage, everyone clean up, let's go back and have dinner together in the evening." Brother Feng got up and greeted.

So the FPX crowd began to pack up their things, and then left the competition venue with Brother Feng.

The next few days will be dominated by the group stage of Group C and Group D, with a week to adjust after the game.

On the night of the Group D group stage, the draw will take place immediately.

Three days passed quickly, and the results of the Group C group stage were in, with the No. 1 seed in Group C being KT and the No. 2 seed being RNG.

RNG was already on the verge of elimination, and it was by relying on fake matches that it was thrilling, but fortunately, RNG people learned a lot in training with FPX, otherwise there was really no way to advance.

So on the night of the successful promotion, the RNG people invited everyone on the FPX side to have dinner together, all kinds of thanks, especially to Qi Zhou, who couldn't wait to kneel, because Qi Zhou gave RNG a lot of ideas.

In fact, Qi Zhou just gave it a try, and in the end it was successfully implemented, mainly because RNG fought for his own strength.

The teams that advanced from Group D were FNC and IG.

Together with G2 and AFS in Group A, and FPX and C9 in Group B, all the top eight teams have been decided.

That night, Qi Zhou came to the competition site.

The upcoming lottery ceremony is about to take place, and the FPX crowd is in Brother Feng's room to watch the lottery ceremony together.

Originally, the draw for the S competition was for professional players, but later the official changed the rules and they appointed an official staff member to draw lots, in fact, it was also to control the results and make the game more enjoyable.

It doesn't matter to Qi Zhou, as the No. 1 seed, they are all drawn as the No. 2 seed, as long as it is not RNG, they can accept it, it's not that they can't beat RNG but they don't want to fight a civil war.

Playing a civil war in the S match is the most boring thing, in the LPL league, FPX has completely figured out the RNG, and it is not too simple to win them, so this kind of game has no meaning for FPX, it is interesting to play with teams from other regions, especially LCK.

After everyone arrived, Brother Feng suddenly said, "How about it, who do you want to fight with?" ”

"KT, I just want to fight KT right now." Xiao Tian was the first to stand up and say.

"What are you thinking, KT is the No. 1 seed, we are also the No. 1 seed, and we can't meet in the quarterfinals at all." Jin Gong reminded.

Xiaotian spread his hands: "I know, if it's not KT, then everyone is the same, as long as it's not RNG." ”

Liu Weixiang: "I want to try it with FNC, they seem to be quite rampant right now, but they are also the No. 1 seed. ”

Qi Zhou complained: "Can you play your cards according to common sense, now ask who you want to play with, it must be selected from the second seed, what you are talking about is the semifinals and finals." ”

FPX everyone came back to their senses, and Liu Qingsong said: "If you are the second seed, then AFS, I want to fight AFS." ”

Xiao Tian echoed: "If you want to fight, you can play the strongest, and this AFS should be the strongest among the second seeds." ”

Qi Zhou: "It should be the second strongest, and the strongest is C9, but because we are in the same group, we can't meet in the quarterfinals, and C9 may be stronger than the No. 1 seed in other groups." ”

Toothpaste heard the spirit: "Really? Is it so strong? Then we were not very embarrassed to lose to C9 before. ”

Qi Zhou: "If you just want to get to the semi-finals and finish fourth, you can think like that, but if you want to win the championship, you can't think like that. ”

"That's right." Toothpaste touched his hair awkwardly.

It was then that the draw ceremony began.

When the guests come on the stage, the host begins to explain, and the rules are quite simple, the same group avoids, that is, the first and second in the same group are to be staggered.

The eight teams were divided into two pools, and the four group winners were put together, G2, FPX, KT and IG.

Four groups were put together in second, AFS, C9, RNG and FNC.

The first four groups are drawn to determine the order, and then the four groups are drawn to determine the matchup.

After the host briefly explained the rules, the lottery ceremony officially began!

The guests walked to the pool where the group was at the top of the group, pulled out a small ball, and then slowly spread it out.

Everyone in FPX is nervous, there will be absolutely a lot of things in the quarterfinals, and the semifinals will not be drawn again, but according to the grouping of the quarterfinals.

“KT！” The host reads out the name of the first team to be drawn from the group.

"Is the first one KT? Then you can watch their games and learn something. Xiao Tian muttered.

Immediately afterwards, the guest drew the second ball and unfolded it again.

“G2！” The second group to be drawn out is G2!

And then the third: "IG! ”

FXP is the fourth.

"We were the last to fight? So cool? Toothpaste muttered.

"It's okay, I feel that the first fight has the advantage of being the first to fight, and the last fight has the advantage of being the last to fight." Qi Zhou responded.

"Actually, I wanted to play first and then watch the other teams perform, but now it seems that I can't do it." Toothpaste sighed.

"You're all right, it's not the same to fight first and fight late, and you can sigh." Xiao Tian said he didn't understand.

"Shhhh Don't talk, draw the second in the group! ”

On the screen, the guests walked to the pool that was second in the group and began to draw the second in the group to determine the two sides against each other.

The guest pulls out a small ball and spreads it out.

“FNC！” The moderator read.

In this way, KT will have to face C9 in the quarterfinals!

"The good news, this FNC is the strongest among the second seeds, and if they meet KT, it feels like KT is going to be beaten out a lot." Jin Gong cheered.

"Why do you think KT is so strong, I don't think G2 is bad." Toothpaste should be done.

Qi Zhou: "It doesn't matter, we will know who is strong and who is weak after the fight, we still have to study the opponents of the quarterfinals, and the other teams will talk about it later." ”

The guest drew a second ball and spread it out.

“RNG！” The host read aloud.

In this way, G2's opponent in the quarterfinals is RNG!

"Damn, RNG is a little lucky, draw G2, this should be the easiest, after all, G2 is the third seed." Toothpaste muttered.

Liu Weixiang: "If RNG can't even beat G2, then there's nothing to say." ”

Liu Qingsong: "I don't think it's very stable, RNG's performance in the group stage is too unstable, and it's hard to say who is stronger than G2." ”

Qi Zhou: "Well, I have a similar opinion, RNG may be eliminated by G2. ”

When Liu Qingsong said this, the others didn't react much, they just regarded and regarded it as a personal conjecture.

But Qi Zhou said that, it wasn't quite right, he was almost sentencing RNG to death!

"Aquaman, do you mean RNG is going to stop in the quarterfinals?" Xiao Tian exclaimed.

"yes, I feel like IG should be able to go further this time, and RNG will end there." Qi Zhou explained.

Qi Zhou was so sure that everyone else realized the seriousness of the problem.

At this time, the guest pulled out a small ball, and the host chanted: "C9"

In this way, IG's opponent in the quarterfinals is C9!

Seeing this scene, Brother Feng said: "C9 is also a challenge for IG, I hope they can be promoted successfully." ”

Xiaotian: "You said it's possible, I mean it's possible, this time in the top four of the S competition, there are three LPL teams." ”

After hearing this, Toothpaste said disgustedly: "That's not interesting, if that's the case, you have to fight a civil war, fighting a civil war is the most boring, I'd rather they be eliminated in advance than a civil war." ”

Lin Weixiang agreed: "It's really not like fighting a civil war, it's not interesting to lose or win, and you have to be scolded." ”

Jin Gong: "Me too, anyway, I estimate that one of IG and RNG is going to be eliminated, and it is unlikely that they will be promoted." ”

Although the final result has come out, there is only one AFS left for FPX's opponent, but the process still has to go, the guest on the screen took out the last ball and spread it out, and the host read: "AFS!" ”

So all the matchup information for the quarterfinals was confirmed:

KT vs. FNC, G2 vs. RNG, IG vs. C9, FPX vs. AFS.

This is also the order of the matchups, the FXP tie is the last group, and you need to wait for the other three BO5s to finish.

In terms of time, it will be ten days before it will be the turn of the FPX crowd to play.
