There is a short break from the group stage to the knockout round.

The QG tournament is scheduled for May 20th, the KT tournament is scheduled for May 21st, and the final is scheduled for May 22nd.

QG, as the top of the group stage, has a day before the game and can rest for a day, while KT needs to play back-to-back.

Of course, it's hard to say which side is better.

You can say that QG has a day off to rest and wait for work, or you can say that KT is hot back-to-back, and according to the experience of later generations, this is generally an excuse used by loser fans to be hard-mouthed.

A few days after the end of the group stage, QG was still squatting in the lounge for daily training, and then by the way, he was interviewed by the media and filmed a promotional video, and a few days passed quickly.

The clock was fast approaching May 20th.

Chen Dongqing followed the team through heavy inspections at noon in Rio and sat in the lounge.

It's just around the clock, and it's two hours before the start of the race.

Before the game started, Chen Dongqing took out his mobile phone and swiped the forum.

According to the time difference, it is 12 o'clock in the middle of the night in China.

Because the competition is approaching, there is a discussion on the domestic forum, discussing today's game.

[Rational analysis, QG needs a few games to win!] 】

[QG must not be a loser from three to zero!] 】

[What time does the game start, I have to go to work tomorrow Saturday, I vomited]

[Me too, I stay up late to watch a game and go to sleep, and I will get up tomorrow and watch the results]

[It's not a big problem, play G2 casually,]

Because the first semi-final is scheduled on Saturday, which is the day of the holiday, there are quite a lot of viewers who choose to stay up late to watch BO5.

Of course, there are still a lot of social animals who go to work on Saturdays, and some people really can't stay up late, so they decide to stay up late to watch a show and go to bed.

However, the problem is not big, G2 is vulnerable in the eyes of the domestic audience, and it belongs to the kind of lottery that has to jump up from the chair.

Or is it still the same sentence, QG's game still needs to be watched? Wake up to another victory!

QG's game is worry-free, and it will not be like some teams, who wake up and look at the results and find that they were actually eliminated by Vietnam, and their blood pressure soared directly, which can directly make people laugh.

Chen Dongqing continued to brush up on the post, and soon saw the post reprinting the Crooked Netherworld forum.

This forum is very distinctive, it's already 2017, and the style of the forum is still the same as it was twenty years ago, with a black background all over the body, and then the title is still a gray thin font, which is quite difficult to see.

The reply at the bottom is even more difficult to top, the golden font size and the black background make me feel like I'm looking at the tombstone inscription.

However, the content of this reprinted post is very interesting.

[[Stick]QG This time is really righteous]

[Help us kill the race knights again, and help us eliminate TSM and GAM, they really made a great contribution to the power wolf to be able to come out this time!] 】

[Okay, they're just a normal game]

[But they didn't choose us as opponents in the semifinals, it's already very face-saving]

[But it doesn't work, I don't think KT is going anywhere]

[The main thing is that Mimi Dan is too bad on the road, which of the top four singles this year has he played? ] 】

[Mimi Dan doesn't care, just let him be on the road alone, just watch Tang and Karsa's]

The post went from thanking QG at the beginning to criticizing Mimidan later, completing a wave of seamless conversion.

But unexpectedly, the Netherworld Forum, which has always hated LPL, did not show much malice towards QG this time.

There's no way, QG has been really righteous in the past few days, so I don't have to say anything about it.

At the bottom of this reprint post, the anti-bar friends are happy, and they all say that QG cured LMS's hard mouth.

Chen Dongqing looked at the post and watched it straight, he even hoped for a moment at this moment that FW could defeat KT and enter the finals, he wanted to see what kind of face Wanwan would have when the time came.

At this time, Uzi came over and patted Chen Dongqing on the shoulder, "Go to the toilet?" ”

“.” Chen Dongqing put away his phone, "Let's go." ”

The two left the lounge and walked to the bathroom, and when they passed by the passage to the stage, Chen Dongqing also glanced at the stage.

The game is approaching, and the spectators have already entered the stadium one after another.

As at the beginning of the group stage, it was still a scene full of 60,000 spectators, and the big Brazilian brothers really gave face.

Chen Dongqing can even see many people holding QG's pure white team flag, presumably after taking the stage, it will be a magnificent picture.

Chen Dongqing suppressed some expectations in his heart and walked into the bathroom, unexpectedly, there were two players in black team uniforms, whispering in the urinal.

Judging from the English behind it, one is G2's ADEven, and the other is G2's midlaner Perkz.

“Hey，luka。” Even opened his mouth and said: "Wait for the game, remember to help the road more, QG's ADC is a pervert." ”

Perkz rolled his eyes, "Is that something I can decide?" QG mid-laner is also difficult to top! ”

"shit" even said helplessly: "Why did QG choose us as an opponent? It's really tricky. ”

"What's so tricky about this? Even if we play KT, what's the difference? Ah P said: "The big deal is losing, for us to reach the semi-finals is a success, in fact, I can't wait to go back to my hometown to fish." ”

It's not a lie to be successful in the semi-finals.

Because MSI's semi-finals are really beneficial.

According to Riot's rules, MSI will have the privilege of entering the knockout zone in the World Finals in the same year, that is, the No. 1 seed will enter the No. 1 pool and occupy the top spot in the group.

Therefore, according to the results of this year's semi-finals, the four teams in pool No. 1 will be from the four regions of LPL, LCK, Europe, and LMS.

Those in the North American Division, even the No. 1 seed, can only fall into the No. 2 pool and wait to be allocated.

So theoretically speaking, if they win the quarterfinals in G2, they can already be regarded as the light of the division.

"allright" even sighed, "I hope I can win a game today, don't lose too ugly, it's too much pressure to play against Uzi." ”

Ah P smiled and said: "Then you have to think about Expect (G2 order), you want to match the line is only Uzi, but he wants to match the line is ilex!" ”

Even when he remembered the expression of his top laner when he decided to match QG in the semi-finals, he was happy for a while, and the tension of the game was relieved a lot.

Both of them shuddered at the same time, then lifted their pants and turned around.

There were two people standing right behind them.

Even and Perkz's scalps tingle.

When they were discussing QG, it turned out that the main owner was behind them, and the two were extremely embarrassed for a while.

Even looked at the handsome guy in front of him, and said hello with a stiff face while giving up his position, "Hi." ”

Chen Dongqing smiled and nodded, stood in front of the urinal and began to untie his belt.

G2 Double C hurriedly walked away.

"Do you think they understand what we're saying?" Even asked, scratching his head.

"I don't know." Perkz shrugged, "But I remember that ilex's English seemed pretty good. ”

"Then let's hope they don't understand." Even awkward prayers.

And at this time in the toilet.

Uzi tilted his head and asked, "What were those two talking about just now?" ”

Chen Dongqing thought for a while and said, "That even said that the competition would make you ugly, and then he would put some pressure on you. ”

“？” Uzi turned his head, "You're not messing around, are you?" ”

"Nope." Chen Dongqing looked calm, "That's what I listened to." ”

Chen Dongqing's English is average, and it can only be used for daily communication, just now when the two of them communicated, he only heard words such as "shameful" and "stressful", which is almost the meaning.

Uzi's eyebrows suddenly rose, and the temperature began to rise one by one, "Put pressure on me?" Good fellow, you haven't died, have you! ”

Uzi decided to wait and give them a little bit of a hard time.

After the two went to the toilet, Uzi listened to this remark to the QG people, and immediately set off another wave.

"Good guys!" The incense pot also rolled up his sleeves, "The young man from G2 is so arrogant?" I'll have to teach them a lesson! ”

Seeing that the game was about to start, Coach Cui was still striking while the iron was hot, and came up to talk about the tactical arrangements for facing G2.

The tactics are also very simple - play yourself well.

"G2 is actually nothing to say about this team, the overall strength is balanced, the middle unit is relatively prominent, we are not afraid of this kind of team at all, we just need to play our own rhythm and guard against the opposite midfield linkage, then winning is easy."

QG has no objection to this.

If you make a pentagram of the five positions of the two sides, then the pentagram of QG should be able to completely wrap G2, at most the gap between the units is slightly smaller.

From QG's point of view, this is definitely not crazy.

Of course, it's not careless.

After all, G2 can be ranked third in the group, and there is definitely something in it.

"Don't say so much, what we have to do is come on!" Linko said excitedly: "I believe that with your level, winning 3-0 is not a problem, come on!" ”

"Okay, welcome to the Olympic Stadium in Rio! This is the 2017 Mid-Season Championship Match! Guan Zeyuan shouted in the commentary seat: "The semi-finals are about to start, the game between QG and G2!" ”

"I believe this is a long-awaited showdown at the top." I remember to take advantage of the situation, "But I think it's relatively simple for QG to win the game today, after all, judging from the performance of the group stage, QG's state of winning ten consecutive games is obviously a little better!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the director also happened to cut out the data of the two teams, and it can be seen at a glance that QG's data is obviously a big step ahead.

Like the average economic lead per game, or the average number of kills per game, QG is more than twice as much as G2!

The third commentator, Su Xiaoyan, spoke quickly, holding a notebook in her hand, and assuming the responsibility of data analysis, she talked eloquently and said many unknown things.

"The Lightning Wolves' stats in the LMS region this year are quite exaggerated, winning 14 consecutive games in the regular season, achieving the achievement of winning all the regular seasons, and are the fourth team in the world to achieve this achievement, and the dominance is very exaggerated."

Su Xiaoyan smiled when she said this, and said, "But this dominance is still a lot worse than our QG." ”

The achievement of winning all the regular season games has been achieved five times by four teams so far.

The first is SKT in Winter '13, the second is FNC in Summer '15, the third is QG in Summer '16 and Spring '17, and the fourth is Lightning Wolf in Spring '17.

But it is worth mentioning that among these four teams, only QG in the spring of 17 has completed the achievement of winning all the games + playoffs, and the gold content is absolutely unique!

The three commentators are also very proud of QG, and they are glad that such a team is present in their LPL.

If this kind of dominant team appeared in the LCK, they really didn't dare to think.

The three of them talked about the possible BPs of both sides on the basis of the data.

"If nothing else, QG should choose the blue side, and G2 on the red side needs to BP, which is a huge test!"

"Actually, they don't have many choices, in the first round they are nothing more than four heroes to solve, that is, Jian Ji, Jace, Policewoman, Kenan, if they only have three bans, then they can only find a way to ban three, and then find a way to ban the one that is released."

"Then if you want me to say, then I think it's better to let Jace out, after all, the relative threat of this hero is not as high as the other three, and the other three are heroes who can bring four!"

The three commentators are one by one, and the analysis of the current predicament of the G2 is clear.

Soon, a voice came from Guan Zeyuan's headphones.

Colonel Guan raised his voice and immediately ended the topic, and then said: "Okay, the first game of BP is about to begin, let's see the Ban position confrontation between the two sides!" ”

The scene is just cut in, the camera sweeps over the faces of the players on both sides, and you can see that the faces of the players on both sides are quite calm.

QG is calm because the victory is in hand.

G2 are calm because they are naturally optimistic.

The only thing they are nervous about is whether they will lose too badly today, and it is never whether they will lose or not.

Soon, the BP screen suddenly cuts in.

"Okay, we can see that QG, who has the right to choose the right to choose the side, took the initiative to choose the position of the blue side in the first game, and this version is still more dominant because of Kenan's existence!"

Judging from the performance of the group stage, all teams can now be sure that AD Kenan's gameplay is indeed a routine worth grabbing. This makes the importance of the blue side skyrocket.

"This time the BP panel cuts out a little late, the first three bans on both sides have been completed, let's see the ban options on both sides!"

Colonel Guan's gaze swept over the positions of both sides, and then nodded.

The ban bit is not at all expected.

"On the blue side, QG chose to ban Bobby, Olaf, and Sindra, and the three ban positions are quite targeted, while on the other side, G2's ban position selection is Jian Ji, Kenan, and the policewoman!"

Seeing that his three ban positions were completely correctly predicted, Colonel Guan showed a smug smile, and then continued: "QG's ban position is quite targeted, the audience may not know that G2 Jungler Trick's Olaf has a 100% win rate in the 2017 season!" It's clear that QG has something to do with G2! ”

As for Sindra, not to mention, in the case of this version of the Enchantress being cut down, this is one of the few fig leaves for Ah P.

At the same time, it is also worth noting that QG in the past, it is common to send Zyra to the ban position, and then leave Karma and Lulu to split evenly.

But this time, they didn't.

Because of this game of BP, they have already thought about it, no matter which of the four heroes on the opposite side is released, they will inevitably choose the remaining one.

If you still ban Zyra and release Karma Lulu, it will be equivalent to helping the opposite side ban, because the opposite side must have two heroes take all.

So this has to be put all in.

Based on this theory, the first three choices of the two sides are very fast.

The blue side is the first hand, QG seconds lock Jace, this is absolutely confident, absolutely unquestionable.

Immediately after, G2 quickly locked on to Lulu and Karma with both hands, choosing to release Zyra.

In G2's stats, QG's support Ming has never played Zyra once, and every time he is self-banning, so they put this on QG.

Their judgment is indeed correct, Shi Senming's Zyra is indeed average, after all, he has not experienced the baptism of the S6 World Championship.

But with Uzi here, Xiao Ming's Zyra doesn't need to be too good, just pass the passing line.

There's nothing to say, Cold Ice with Zyra, the lineup is locked, and G2 will choose a big mouth with Lulu in the follow-up, focusing on the late stage.

Seeing this scene, Uzi's eyes froze.

After choosing a big mouth to hit me cold? Threatened to put pressure on me before the game?

You're crazy!

Enter the second round of BP.

G2 banned all the blind monks and spiders with a backhand, and tried their best to block the QG Ueno linkage, while QG banned the barrel and the big tree and entered the selection stage.

"Red side G2 fourth hand and they picked one hand. Galio! Colonel Guan opened his mouth and said, "This Galio should be in the upper unit." ”

Galio's newly reworked version doesn't have that much damage, but it's a good tandu and support, so it's usually a top-mid swing now.

It's okay to use it to resist Jace's pressure.

Jace on the top road, Ice on the bottom road has been chosen.

The purpose of QG's BP in the last two hands is to enhance the lane advantage of these two heroes, and rely on the upper and lower lanes to defeat the opponent.

Around this policy, there are two options left to have the answer.

Goldway needed a mid-laner who could break through Kalmar's line control.

The incense pot needs a jungler with enough rhythm ability.

In fact, QG has a hidden trick, but this time Banbazi gave the choice to the player.

"Give me the prince." The incense pot immediately had an answer.

Gao Dewei didn't have time to think, "Then give me the Ice Girl, I can swim after level seven." ”

"OK, no problem." Coach Cui snapped his notebook and said, "Against G2, let's try to hide a few moves, I believe you can win it with hard power." ”

"Yes, no problem." Chen Dongqing glanced at the lineup and said reassuringly: "Wait for us to triumph." ”

At this time, G2 has also made their last choice - Graves.

The lineups of both sides have been confirmed.

Blue QG: Top laner Jace, Jungler Prince, Mid Single Ice Girl, Bottom Lane Ice Plus Zyra.

Red G2: Top laner Galio, Jungler Gun, Mid laner Karma, bottom laner Big Mouth plus Lulu.

"Both lineups have opened and protected, and they all have enough output, and there are no problems with BP!" I remember saying out loud: "It's just that the difference is that the G2 with a male gun and a big mouth is more late-stage, while the QG's three Cs are all early-to-mid heroes!" ”

"It's a classic spear and shield again!" Colonel Guan smiled and said, "This is QG's favorite match, because their spears are the sharpest in the world!" ”

Many teams will be afraid of QG's offensive ability in the early and middle stages, so they will choose a relatively conservative lineup and bet on the late stage.

But in reality, that's what QG would like to see the most.

They studied SKT for a whole year last year, and they won SKT for a whole year, and what they do best is tear down turtle shells!

The camera cuts to a high-altitude position, and the camera slowly patrols the audience.

Countless people held flagpoles, waved pure white QG team flags, and danced a sea of white in the audience, and the waves were turbulent.

Under the attention of millions of players, the first game of the semi-finals has begun!

Playing G2 won't be too long, and it's expected to be solved in two chapters.

(End of chapter)
