Chapter 346: The quarterfinals of the World Championship are released, and the draw ceremony for the knockout round!
October 15th. In the first game of Group A of the group stage, the AFs battle group match, the difference between strength and weakness has been seen from the first round of rounds.
In today's schedule, AFs can be said to be full of combat power, winning all the first, fourth and fifth games, and directly sitting at the top of Group A with a 5-1 record.
It's a shame for SGb that they only managed two points in this tournament. Fw is tied 3-3 with G2 and will need to play an extra match to qualify for the quarterfinals.
In the seventh game, Fw was really the first to be the best, and released G2's bottom road head, and G2 was also very decisive, and grabbed the first floor directly.
So far, G2's win rate has remained 100%, and no team has been able to shake it.
And releasing the big head of G2 means that in this game, Fw is doomed to lose. Sure enough, the time game went on for 33 minutes and 12 seconds, and G2 successfully won Fw with a score of 12-4 and won the second promotion place in Group B.
October 16th. Matchday 7 of the World Finals. The situation in Group C is clearer. mAd0-3 is at the bottom, and only the tL of the back 1-2 can compete with EdG.
However, the pressure on tL is also high. They will have to beat Kt and pick up three points to play a 4-2 playoff against EdG.
With only three points, as long as EdG win Kt in the second round, they won't stand a chance at all.
So, the first tL vs. Kt match is very important for tL. Kt still had a certain advantage in the early stage, and after pobelter got the Enchantress, he couldn't even suppress Ucal's Lisandra too much on the opposite line.
The upper lane sword demon is an advantage, and the lower lane wheel mother can also push the line, and the overall situation is favorable to tL.
However, in a wave of small-scale team battles in the mid-16 minutes, mata keg magically went around and opened the group, E flash directly hit the scorpion and the wheel mother, and the doublelift failed to open his E skill for the first time, and was put away by the Frost Witch E in his face, and a set of wRqA was put away.
When the Dream Demon flew over, the doublelift was already dead, and the scorpion's little short leg couldn't run.
q follows the scorpion, the E skill hangs fear, w prevents the scorpion's vertigo, and after a wave of damage, tL's bottom lane and jungler die.
From this wave of rhythm, Kt began to play games with his brain. The auxiliary of KT is mata.
You can spray his operation, but you can never spray his brain. In Kt's operation, tL is like a fly without a head, spinning around the canyon map.
In the end, he turned around and disappeared. In the time of 26 minutes and 31 seconds, Kt finally pushed to the main crystal of tL with a score of 12-4 and won the game.
As soon as tL loses, it will not have much impact on EdG's qualification. As long as EdG can win two games in 3 games, he will be able to secure the qualifying spot.
In the second game, EdG defeated the group, mAd pure experience baby. In this way, it makes sense for Riot to cancel the LmS division.
The only team in the LmS region is Fw, and since this year, many Fw members have come to LpL to look for jobs.
Like Snake, Casa, Maple, etc., all came to LpL to make their home. Those who are still in Fw are just trying to find a dream to stay in the LmS division.
It's a pity that Fw failed to compete for G2 and didn't get a place in the quarterfinals, which means that next year's LmS division will be disbanded.
The former five major regions have been reduced to four major regions. mAd is 0-4 so far, and it is difficult to win a game against tL and Kt next.
Sure enough, in the next third game, tL won the mAd steadily at 33 minutes and 17 seconds with a score of 13-9.
The fourth, this game is also very crucial. If EdG can't win against Kt and lose to tL in the fifth game, they will face a play-off and fight for the second place in the group.
If EdG wins Kt, then there is no need to think about winning or losing, EdG is bound to advance, even if it loses to tL.
So this game, starch cares more. Especially after losing to Kt in the first round, the topic of revenge gradually came up.
After passing bp on both sides, the lineup is as follows: EdG: top lane Ray Urgat, jungler Haro Zhao Xin, middle lane Scout Akali, bottom lane Iboy Kaisha, support meiko Luo.
KT: Top lane Smeb Sain, Jungler Score Qianjue, Mid Ucal Crow, bottom lane deft Kasumi, support mata hammer stone.
At the beginning of the game, Haro's Zhao Xin directly brushed the red level 2 and caught it. After Zhao Xin's revision, the strength in the early stage is still very high.
His revision only raised the ceiling of Zhao Xin's hero. Unlike the previous Zhao Xin, although the damage is high, although the standing is strong, there is no fault tolerance.
The current Zhao Xin, not only has high damage, but the most important thing is that the ultimate move also has an invincible mechanism, which gives him room to play in team battles.
Level 2 catch. However, Kt's awareness of precautions is very high. At 1 minute and 44 seconds, the deft leaned against the wall and inserted a fake eye in the grass directly through the wall, illuminating the view of the river.
This eye position requires a certain amount of skill. Like a professional player, he can basically do a long-distance wall insertion without mistakes.
And this eye position can be regarded as relieving Kt's downward lane. After Zhao Xin arrived, he opened the scan to sweep out his eyes, not only exposing his target, but also going to the blue buff of the anti-veteran captain Score in the wild area in the next day.
When Haro walked over, the blue buff was just taken down by Qianjue. After this wave, Kt in the early stage was very comfortable.
At 5 minutes and 34 seconds, a battle broke out between the two sides. The junglers on both sides came to support at the same time, but Iboy was controlled for the first time and then was seconded.
Sain, who was on the road, also lit up the teleportation, and after landing, he flashed directly into the tower to collect Meiko Luo's head.
EdG was caught by Kt in the first 5 minutes. But that's not where the main event comes in. EdG's lower road is indeed being targeted, but this wave of Ray's development is very comfortable.
After he finished pushing the upper lane, the teleportation in his hand was still there. At 9:01, he took advantage of the TP difference in teleportation to support Xiaolong by tapping down the road first.
After teleporting down, the ultimate move was given to Ucal, and then the E skill was carried behind him, and Da Da Da turned back and forth, directly dropping Ucal in seconds, triggering the fear of the ultimate, so that Iboy, who was originally in a dying state, was saved.
At this time, the deft chased Iboy too deeply, which belonged to the attachment of the predecessor. When A is about to die of Iboy, Ray's crucial Q skill slows down, making the deft farther and farther away from Kaisha's position!
And the deft was ravaged by Urgat, and finally became a delicacy. Ray's two heads are in hand, and the moment to help EdG fight back begins.
Next, every wave of team battles Ray played perfectly. EdG didn't expect that the key battle in this group stage was to let Ray give Kerry!
Soon, EdG slowly went to operate the fight, and with the advantage established by Urgat, in the time point of 36 minutes and 21 seconds, the last wave of team battles, EdG defeated Kt and won the game!
After all, fate is in your own hands! After winning this game, the next EdG will purely start to practice the lineup.
tL defeated EdG by a huge margin in 33 minutes and 45 seconds. But the outcome of this game has nothing to do with qualifying.
tL, who has a doublelift, once again failed to the round of 16. After the game, a commentator from the LA division joked on the forum: "No one can remember the top 16 unless he is in the top 16 every year." The truth of this sentence can be regarded as writing the bitter journey of a professional player.
Doublelift can come out into the world at least every year to see it, and how many pros behind it haven't even seen the world...... This is the harsh reality of esports.
After tL won EdG, there wasn't much joy. The doublelift, who likes to taunt other pros before the game, is also a lot haggard.
In the last game, Kt defeated mAd 1-0 and won the first place in the group with a score of 5-1! …… October 17th.
The last match day of the group stage of the World Finals. In the first 100 match, FNc selected a midfield that was biased towards the early stage, as well as a guaranteed lineup with late wheel mom and Kogas.
And on the opposite side of the 100t, what made the LpL audience very excited was that the 100t auxiliary aphrromoo directly showed a hand of Bard!
This hero, even Liu Shuai hasn't taken it out yet, but this kid took it out first. Moreover, the director also understands the effect of the program.
As soon as the game starts, put the perspective on Bud. The skin is Liu Shuai's champion skin, dsome.
The ink style has aroused the desire of many viewers to buy, buy, buy. Of course, it is not available now.
Only after the end of the World Finals, when the skins are made next year, will the consignment of the previous year's champion skins begin.
"I have to say, this champion Bard is really handsome!"
"me, I just found out,Handsome hasn't used Bard much since it came out of the skin.,I like the new and hate the old.,Play that b hammer stone and robot every day!"
"If you win this World Championship, you should have a robot skin, right?"
"This Bard is really handsome, how do you buy this skin? Squatting. ”
"I regret that I didn't buy a full set last year, and only bought theshy's sword skin!"
"The main thing is that Bud is a hero who doesn't play well, so I didn't buy it, although it's really good-looking!" After a wave of discussions about skins, the outcome of the first game was largely ignored.
In the end, after killing time, FNc won 14-4 in 32 minutes and 20 seconds.
In the second game, RNG defeated GRx, and there was nothing to discuss in this game, RNG's pure crushing game.
In the third game, FNc defeated GRx, and similarly, FNc was beaten violently against the third seed in the LmS region, and the second and third seeds in the LmS region are not bad, at least in terms of record, they have not won a single victory so far.
In the fourth game, RNG defeated 100t and locked the first place in the group in advance. In the fifth game, 1Rx0-6 ended the journey of this World Championship.
Judging from the performance of this world competition, Riot has the idea of canceling the LmS region and merging it into Southeast Asia, with a quota every year.
The Lightning Wolves also announced their disbandment on the same night that they stopped in the group stage. The LmS division is gone, and there is no need for the Lightning Wolves to continue.
RNG lost 0-1 to FNc in the sixth game, but it didn't hurt. FNc qualified as second in Group D.
Since then, the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Finals have been released. Group A: Afs, G2.
Group b: IG, Group: Kt, EdG. Group d: RNG, FNc. In terms of regional division, the top eight of this World Championship will have teams from three LpL regions, two teams from the LcK region, two teams from the LEc region, and one team from the LcS region.
After the RNG and FNc matches, the draw for the knockout round will be held in Busan, South Korea.
LpL commentary seats, Yu Tong and Remember served as the commentators of the lottery ceremony.
"Welcome back, after RNG confirms the first place in the group, we still have a draw for the knockout round."
"In order to take care of the new audience, we still have to talk about the rules of the knockout draw first."
"The draw rules are used in random draws, the first in the group against the second in the group, it should be noted that the avoidance rules in the same group and the half, in short, are the first and second in the group stage If you want to meet again, you have to wait until the final."
"Also, if there is a conflict between the draw and the rules for avoiding the first half of the group, then the team will be postponed to the top of the lower half of the district, and there will be no duplicate draw."
"Okay, then we've finished explaining the lottery rules, and the on-site preparations have been completed!"
"Let's hand over the footage to the on-site narrator!" In the picture, it was the Korean host Brother Ryo who drew lots.
There were two pools in front of him. The first pool is filled with the team that won the group. In the second pool is the team that is second in the group.
Brother Roaring first touched the ball from the first pool. Open the first ball, the team logo is very conspicuous, showing the Kt logo!
That is, the first team in the left half of the sector has been determined. Then the second ball from the prize pool - RNG!
The audience was boiling! RNG and Kt are in the same half of the district, which means that in the next round of the second round of elimination, these two happy rivals are likely to meet!
The third team is Afs and the fourth is IG. There are top teams from LpL and LcK in each of the two halves, and this kind of competition immediately aroused the interest of the audience!
The next round of the draw is the most important. The first round was just a half-selection, and there wasn't much suspense.
And the suspense is all left in the second round. And LpL's audience hopes that neither IG nor RNG will encounter EdG cannibalism.
And now Kt has determined the eastern half, that is to say, EdG will definitely come to the western half, and there is a 50% probability of encountering IG!
…… RNG Training Hotel. Several RNG players are also very concerned about this draw. After seeing that he and IG were not in the same half, and after confirming that EdG would go to the right half, Uzi's face was full of smiles: "Wow, we can't touch IG and EdG!! As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaohu's side burst into laughter.
And he saw that Uzi was not smiling, and he stopped smiling. When he saw that Uzi also laughed, Xiaohu started his own
"Two laughs"! Hahahahahaha~ There was a burst of laughter at the RNG Training Hotel! …… The draw continues.
The first draw was FNc! Due to the avoidance rule of the same group half-zone, FNc moved to the right and placed it in the grid of the IG column.
FNc mid-laner caps, who was originally standing on the stage, saw that he was the first to be drawn, and met Kt, FNc's mid-laner caps' face changed on the spot, but after thinking about it carefully, he and RNG needed to avoid in the same group half, so he moved to the right, just as he gave up his sorrow and turned to smile, he thought that the first one in the right half was IG, and suddenly became sad again!
I'll go, get rid of Kt and have a harder IG! CAS shook his head with a wry smile, as if all the words were contained in this wry smile.
