Chapter 162: Knockout Draw Session
"Let's congratulate IG on winning this game!"
"Double kill SKT, no one thought IG could beat this dynastic team before the game, the triple crown SKT ......"
"Even if IG leads by 10,000 economy in the first game, or by 10,000 economy in the second game!"
"Even though they played so hard, they even won the game by stealing decisions and methods."
"But the end result was that IG won, they got six straight wins in the group stage, and the final standings were determined on the last matchday."
Miller's voice was heard throughout the venue.
The resilience of SKT is hard to imagine.
In such a disadvantage, it still makes IG feel very difficult to fight.
On the one hand, it may be a psychological factor, in the face of SKT, the treble of the old dynasty, this team gives IG a great sense of oppression.
IG is in the posture of a challenger after all.
When you haven't climbed that mountain, the people on it are always in the state of giants.
On the other hand, the change of the incense burner version makes the game more late, and IG in the lead does not end the game quickly.
IG won, but they didn't win neatly.
led the economy by nearly 10,000 yuan, but still won by stealing.
It can only show that this IG is still in an immature stage.
But.
The players and coaching staff are not in a hurry.
They know in their hearts that the World Race is a process of gradual improvement, continuous improvement, and finding the right answer.
The fact that they were not able to get rid of SKT quickly shows that they are still in the current situation.
The IG team also needs to be refined and improved.
That's like a good thing.
……
After the game, the IG players went to shake hands.
Faker, today he is a loser.
The two routs in the group stage seem to have never imagined such an ending.
Liu Shuai greeted him with a smile, looking at this legendary player, and couldn't help but admire.
It was in this situation that Liu Shuai's obsession with the Triple Crown became deeper.
Bow and step down.
Liu Shuai received a request to go to Han Wenliu for an interview.
At the same time, the Chinese stream is rookie, and the English stream is west.
"Anihasse, welcome handsome to our post-match interview!" The host is the famous Emperor Roaring Hyo of South Korea - Jeon Yongjun.
"Would you like to say hi to everyone?!"
"Hello everyone, I'm a support handsome of the IG team." Liu Shuai is in Chinese.
It's not that he wants to hide his Korean skills, but he just thinks that he can't let the translator who came with him lose his job.
After the translation was finished, Emperor Roaring Xiao began his first question.
Compared with the LPL commentary, the LCK commentary digs deeper here.
The first question involves the core content of the competition.
"First of all, congratulations on winning the game, at the last critical moment of this game, you didn't choose to play a team, but won the game by stealing your home, why did you choose to steal your home at that time?"
Liu Shuai smiled and said: "Stealing is a better way to win, in that case, you can win in a group, but choosing to steal is more secure." ”
Liu Shuai's answer is still very straightforward.
Although there is a smell of back stencil in it.
But in the face of LCK's audience, it does need to be a little more subtle.
After all, he doesn't have many fans at LCK.
Emperor Roaring Xiao nodded, held the microphone and continued to the second question: "You are now the fourth team to win 6-0 in the S competition, and at the same time, the LZ in Group A is also 6-0, do you have anything to say to the LZ?" ”
In fact, this question is quite embarrassing.
Because Liu Shuai is not familiar with the LZ team.
The players in it can be said that there is no intersection in this world.
The only place where the two can be connected may be a S match with two 6-0.
Liu Shuai scratched his head and responded: "LZ, I don't think they can go to the end, our final opponent should be SSG or SKT." ”
"The Last Opponent...... What does it mean? Emperor Roaring Xiao asked.
Liu Shuai replied: "It means the opponent we met in the final. ”
When Liu Shuai said this, the audience on LCK's side was very surprised!
More cynicism, of course:
"Why do you think you'll make it to the finals? Just because of 6-0 Smecta ?! ”
"What a madman...... It is also said that the 6-0 LZ will not be able to enter the finals, do you know which team will kill SKT in the summer tournament? ”
"I hope that LZ and IG are in the same half zone, and strive to kill them in the semi-finals!"
"Hahaha, I don't think they will necessarily make it to the semi-finals, because last year they were eliminated in the quarterfinals, hahaha!"
"Upstairs, don't say that the LPL is still a little stronger than the European region, of course, it's only a little stronger!"
“……”
The Korean Internet has sparked heated discussions.
Liu Shuai's interview also ended quickly.
And then there was the moving draw for the knockout round.
On the screen, the eight teams that have advanced are displayed.
Group A: IG, SKT.
Group B: LZ, FNC.
Group C: SSG, G2.
Group D: RNG, MSF.
Both LPL teams are in the No. 1 seed, and they can't touch teams from the same region, which makes LPL viewers feel reassured.
This time, it was OMG Zhonglan I who presided over the draw ceremony.
With a handsome appearance, paired with a suit and leather shoes, he looks like a rich child.
In the first round of the lottery, everyone was not too panicked.
The two teams in the upper half of the region are IG and LZ.
The teams in the lower half are RNG and SSG.
The two LPL teams are divided into two halves, which means that it is impossible to meet before the finals.
This made a large part of the LPL team dissipate the panic in their hearts.
And the second round of the draw is particularly crucial!
i takes a small ball from the pool of the second draw in the group.
When the ball is opened, a red team logo is displayed inside.
And the logo is bright, with three stars, representing the former dynasty!
Miller, the commentator on the stage, was ecstatic: "Then SKT, is it going to fight a civil war with LZ?" ”
I remember shaking his head hurriedly, he looked at the SKT team logo placed in the lower half of the area, and said: "Because IG and SKT need to meet the principle of avoiding the same half of the area, SKT and IG cannot be in the same half, but continue to the lower half of the area and fight against RNG." ”
"Ahh Miller's scalp is a little numb.
At this time, I had already picked up the second ball, and the team logo inside looked like a mask at first glance, in line with the symmetrical aesthetic.
If you look closely, it's not completely symmetrical.
The face of the mask is composed of a "g" and a "2" that have been transformed.
There is another scar on the right eye, like a samurai, and the eye reveals domineering.
The combination of gray, black and white colors shows a lifelike sense of art.
IG opponent confirmed: G2!
In the parallel world, G2 did not make the cut.
At that time, G2 was grouped with RNG and SSG.
There is no hope of qualifying at all.
However, fate kicked C9 away and left G2 behind.
And the story of Ah P continues.
Obviously, after they met the IG, it was as if they had a feeling of going home right away.
……
During the lottery ceremony, the IG crowd was watching the live broadcast.
When everyone in the team saw the G2 label, there was no wave in their hearts.
Because they knew in their hearts that they would only meet three European teams except SKT.
For IG, there is nothing challenging for the European team.
When I draw G2, I don't have that nervous sense of activity.
There was no expression on everyone's faces.
Don't say it made Liu Shuai laugh.
It's just a laugh, and I can't laugh at it......
I can only see the special type of prop of the Demon Contract, what kind of price will be refreshed next week.
The next two draws are actually fixed.
Because the FNC must be in the upper half and the MSF in the bottom half.
The final draw is over.
Upper Half:
October 22, 3:50 p.m., IG vs G2!
October 20th, 3.50pm, LZ vs FNC!
Lower Half:
Oct. 21, 3:05 p.m. vs SKT!
October 19th, 3:50 p.m., SSG vs MSF!
Locations for the quarter-finals.
Huaxia, Guangzhou Gymnasium.
……
After the draw for the knockout round.
Countless scripts have been written in each competition area.
There is a heated discussion overseas.
First of all, the one who rushed to the front was the mid-laner Perkz of G2.
He tweeted two times before and after.
The first tweet was made when it was determined that the IG was being played.
"Ou, what a wonderful day, this time I want to make Guangzhou a library."
The second tweet is that all draws are over.
"I've already written the script, the top half of the semi-finals G2 vs FNC, we will step on the face of CAPS and rush to the final stage... As for the lower half, MSF will win casually, and the final stage will be the home of Europe!
”
Ah P's pure mouth is also accustomed to it.
In addition, on the Korean Internet side, the discussion was even more intense.
"God really wishes me a great Korea! Eliminate IG in the semi-finals, handsome is too crazy. ”
"This year's LPL, one stopped in the quarterfinals, the other stopped in the top four, well, compared to last year, it is an improvement."
"Hahaha, this is not accurate, what if G2 is a batch of dark horses?"
"The semi-finals are three more LCK teams, it's really boring, faker won't win the fourth crown, right?!"
“……”
The heated discussion on the Korean Internet mainly revolves around Liu Shuai's previous interview.
This time, IG and LZ are likely to meet in the top four.
That's exactly what they want to see.
The LPL is hotly discussed, mainly analyzing the opponents of the two teams.
Some fans complained:
"It's better to play SKT than to play IG, why doesn't IG send RNG to the semi-finals in the second group!"
Rational Powder:
"A glance at the skewers upstairs, this group is already the best grouping in the current situation, and you can meet one of the three Korean teams sooner or later."
"RNG is a better sign, SKT is not in good shape, the quarterfinals are won casually, and the third seed of SSG is even more casually killed, you look at our little IG, the semifinals will touch LZ......"
"Alas, this lottery is really not a good draw, RNG luck is really back, and the probability of one-third of the probability can also draw SKT, which is really amazing."
"If RNG wants to win the championship, SKT will definitely meet this hurdle, I think I am optimistic."
"I hope that this year's European team can give a little bit of strength, kill the South Korean team in the quarterfinals, and then send us LPL in the semifinals."
“……”
In the heated discussion of the whole network, Liu Shuai's eyes were locked on their opponent - G2!
This team, which seems to have only signs of a whole job, can actually reach the World Finals, and there must be something in itself.
Ah p mouth hi back to mouth hi, strength must also exist.
Therefore, after the draw, when the other players went to prepare for the rank, Liu Shuai walked into the room of the coaching staff again.
