Chapter 205: Won't They Ban Sword Ji?
"Good morning, viewers before the show, and welcome to this year's live stream of our group stage matches as we go through the play-in tournament and gather sixteen teams in New York after a journey to Mexico."
"Today will be the first game of the group stage of the 2022 World Finals, for the sixteen teams, there is only one champion, who can finally enter the final in San Francisco, let's follow the journey of the group stage step by step, hello everyone, I am the commentator Ze Yuan......"
On the morning of October 8, the group stage officially kicked off in San Francisco.
The play-in round ended two days earlier, with a total of four teams advancing to the group stage, namely DRX, RNG, FNC and EG, so far the grouping of 16 teams has been clarified.
Group A: C9, T1, JDG, FNC
Group B: WE, G2, DK, EG
Group C: RGE, TES, GAM, DRX
Group D: gen, g
The group stage is a round-robin BO1 within the group, with each team playing two matches against the other three teams in the group, which is a total of six matches.
Wins and losses are calculated in the form of points, and when the group stage is over, the top two teams in each group will advance to the quarterfinals, which are the quarterfinals.
There are three LPL teams in today's 6 games, and compared to the good start of the play-in round, the victory or defeat of the LPL on the first day of the group stage is undoubtedly the point that the audience really pays attention to.
Because every next game is very important for the LPL.
This year's lottery seems to be a special roll of the LPL, the four teams are in different groups, and many viewers complained that this must be the official Riot can't stand it, so they want to open a small stove.
However, even if it is a small stove, it still has to be done by the LPL team itself and come out of the group stage.
At present, the probability of the four teams qualifying is quite large, and if there are four LPLs in the top 8, the probability of winning the championship is undoubtedly quite large.
However, netizens seem to be scared, even if they feel very optimistic, their remarks are relatively conservative, as if they are afraid that their milk will die, which shows how much resentment and desire some netizens have for the LPL championship.
With the early morning as the clock ticked by, three games had been played in the group stage.
The first three games did not have an LPL, while the last three had an LPL.
At this time, it was past 8 o'clock in the morning, and many viewers just set their alarm clocks to get up at about this o'clock to watch the LPL's debut in the group stage.
And the first game of the LPL will be played by WE against EG.
"Welcome back, what we will bring to you right away is the first appearance of the LPL region of the World Finals in the group stage."
"Eh, everyone should be up at this point."
"There is a good saying, if you think that the seven days of the National Day holiday pass quickly, then you may not think so in the next seven days......"
After the three commentators livened up the atmosphere, they began to formally discuss the upcoming game.
"What do you say, is there a preview of this game?" Guan Zeyuan asked.
Miller clasped his hands to his chest when he heard this, "This ...... To be honest, the three teams that played in the LPL today, objectively speaking, WE is the team I am least worried about. β
"After all, it's the number one seed." Guan Zeyuan smiled.
Miller didn't say much about Guan Zeyuan's understanding, in fact, WE is the No. 1 seed on the one hand, and the reason why he uses "objectively speaking" is because the opponent is EG is also on the one hand.
EG is the No. 3 seed in the North American Division, and WE is the No. 1 seed in the LPL, so he's not worried.
Of course, as an explanation, it must be emotionally intelligent, otherwise some of the words spoken will easily become the Bible......
As the three of them discussed EG's performance in the play-in round, the footage of all the official live broadcast rooms in China moved to the competition site.

I saw that the audience was dim, and I could vaguely see all kinds of support items in the sea of people.
The slightly quiet game scene was accompanied by a shocking loud noise, and a light flashed in the stadium.

After a shout from the foreign host, BGM and lights appeared.
"They've gone from a brutal LPL to the World Finals and are ready to take on one of the strongest teams in the world, W-E!"
The rousing words fell, and the audience burst into cheers, and a large number of people stood up and waved their support sticks.
At the same time, several Asian faces emerged from the center of the stage.
"This cheer!"
"Yes, it's very top-notch."
"I'm blanching! Treasure Look! β
"We are handsome in this black and red team uniform, wearing King Yan."
"Da Duck's walking posture is really the same as that of a duck, and I'm really a little nervous."
"There are also people holding RNG clothes, hahaha."
ββ¦β¦β
Although this point is at night abroad and working hours at home, it does not affect their enthusiasm for watching the game.
Except for those who really can't help it, they basically have their own "stunts".
At this time, the live broadcast camera was given to the audience, and it could be seen that there were many Asian faces, which may be local Chinese or international students, or they may have traveled thousands of miles from China.
"Nervous?"
During the time when the opponent EG appeared on the stage, Yan Wang asked in the team's voice.
Unlike the previous scene in China, there are competition rooms that can be covered.
This time, the scene of the competition was directly facing the audience, and even with headphones, you could hear some cheers to a certain extent.
"I'm fine, Brother Yan." The sound of a duck could be heard in his voice.
"What about the rest."
"How can you not be nervous, but with you, we are afraid of hair, and we will be done."
The words are sad, and he is also entering the World Championship for the first time, but because of personality problems, he is not as nervous as Da Duck on the surface.
"Okay, very energetic, we will win the good start!"
"Rush!"
Under the "morale boost" of Yan Wang's wave of old captain W, everyone began to debug the equipment and log in to the competition uniform.
"I don't think there should be much pressure today, come on, take a look at BP, WE in blue, EG in red."
"I don't want to see it a second time."
"You can't play with the opposite jungler, the main reason is that this hero is too tooly."
When the three commentators discussed We's first-hand ban tree, EG's first ban position was also given to the sword demon.
The current version of the Sword Demon is very powerful, as long as nothing happens online, team battles can basically play a big role.
"Sword Demon, but I haven't seen King Yan take a Sword Demon in the competition yet, maybe he's not interested in this kind of slightly bulky hero."
Miller made a joke, as for the possibility that King Yan couldn't be a sword demon, he hadn't thought about it.
"The third ban of e.g. to the Empress of the Void...... Well? Don't they ban Kenhime? β
"King Yan's sword concubine has been released!"
Guan Zeyuan shouted, as if Jian Ji released WE's winning side was several times bigger.
However, we didn't grab the sword queen next, and the ban position behind the eg side was not given to the sword queen.
Under the attention of the audience and commentary, the top three choices of WE took out the bull head, Ephelius, and Jiaoyue.
Then after taking out the captain on the fourth floor of the EG, it was WE's turn to choose the last two choices.
"I've taken out the Tsar here, but will the AP damage be a bit too much...... However, there is also the possibility of taking the Tsar on the list, after all, there is still a crocodile in the night......"
As soon as Guan Zeyuan's voice fell, a hero representing happiness appeared on the fifth floor of we......
