This victory directly represents Chen Dongqing's advancement to the knockout stage!

Chen Dongqing first slashed Stats, then slashed soO, and won two Korean players in a row to advance, with a hard record!

The most critical and cliché, this is a LOL player, and besides, he is a random race!

Before the start of the game, everyone thought he was here for a vacation, to experience.

No one ever thought that he could play such a beautiful result!

Off the field, even the interstellar audience who doesn't play LOL is all fans of Chen Dongqing.

And the intergalactic audience who played LOL, not to mention, had already brought the rhythm off the field, leading the audience to chant the name of "ilex", cheering wave after wave!

Chen Dongqing can feel that today's audience seems to be more enthusiastic than the day before yesterday, of course he is happy to see this picture, stretching out his arms and interacting with the audience passionately!

Soon, he walked to the other side of the stage and shook hands with soO.

At this time, the loss was the same as the day before yesterday, showing the standard expression of the Koreans after losing the game.

And these two people are about to start a brutal civil war for the second promotion spot.

In other words, this expression has to appear again among the two!

And the reason why this situation occurred was because Chen Dongqing was ruthless and sent these two into the loser's group one after another.

The initiator, Chen Dongqing, looked at the losing book in front of him and smiled without saying a word.

It is said that Koreans are dominant in the game of interstellar.

But it feels average, isn't it easy to carry one away?

After Chen Dongqing's handshake ended, he retreated to the audience, and immediately many people surrounded him.

The two brothers, Neeb and Serral, came up to celebrate with Chen Dongqing, Lin Qianhua gave a thumbs up, and Coach Park stood behind and nodded slightly.

Chen Dongqing smiled and interacted with the people in front of him one by one, and then cheered for Neeb, who was about to play, and then set his eyes on the half of the Korean players.

It can be seen that the Korean eight-person group is already a little gloomy at this time, and Lu Bu is staring at Chen Dongqing even more, even if he feels Chen Dongqing's gaze, he does not shy away from it.

Chen Dongqing's combat effectiveness of the two ships shown in the last game can be said to have amazed everyone, and the scattered spearmen, even Lu Bu has to praise them, Taixi Eight is perverted.

This person didn't come for tourism in the first place, he just wanted to win the championship!

In the past two days of competition, whether it is the Protoss or the Zerg, Ilex has shown almost terrifying operational ability, if it weren't for the lack of tactical experience, then Lu Bu wouldn't know how to win!

But fortunately, as long as there are flaws at the tactical level, then there is still a chance.

Lu Bu is crazy at this moment, and he has even begun to think about the operation ideas after going to Ilex.

But thinking about it, the voices of others pulled him back to reality.

The winner's bracket match in Group B, Dark's matchup against Neeb is about to begin, and it's time to take the stage.

"Come on!" Lu Bu refueled his teammates, and then watched his teammates walk onto the stage.

On the other side, Chen Dongqing also said cheering words to Nieb at the same time, watching the players from both sides come to the stage and take their seats, and then the game began.

As for the result of this game, Chen Dongqing didn't dare to pack tickets, so he could only say that he only knew after watching it.

As the No. 1 non-Korean player, Neeb's strength is still hard, and he and Dark fought three games, but unfortunately they fell short in the third game, because a wave of misjudgment led to the destruction of the fleet, and the good game was lost.

At 2-1, Dark became the second player to advance, and Neeb fell to the lower bracket.

Neeb was in a good state of mind after coming back, and he also smiled and boxed with Chen Dongqing, saying that he would definitely win the next fight.

Next, there is the upper bracket showdown between Group C and Group D.

In the end, HerO in Group C and INnovation in Group D were stronger, defeating their compatriots one after another to qualify for the promotion spot.

Lu Bu's performance in this round of the World Championship was quite impressive, with two 2-0 in the upper bracket, becoming the only player to win all of them and advance.

At that time, the qualifying places for the final round were finally decided.

Group A Stats vs. soO

Group B: Nieb vs. Rogue

Group C TY vs. Elazer

Group D GuMiho vs. Serral.

The suspense of this round of the game lies in the fact that the three non-Hans in the three groups of BCD can be promoted.

Chen Dongqing rubbed his chin.

It's hard to say

After a short break, the game resumed.

The first is the duel between the two defeated players under Chen Dongqing in Group A.

Stats came with the mindset of revenge on ilex, and he certainly couldn't have fallen halfway.

In this Korean civil war, Stats' attitude was more serious than ever, and finally won three games, 2-1, and completed the promotion!

And our loss, this time it is a very regrettable top 16 out, and we can't even get the runner-up.

Then came Group B.

It's not that they don't get together, Neeb and Rogue meet again.

In the match the day before yesterday, it was Neeb who put Rogue in the lower bracket, and now the rematch between the two has started again!

Just when everyone thought that Neeb, who had won once, had a better chance of winning, a mysterious force came from far east.

"Who wins this?" Xudong Lao Xian looked at the question of the barrage, and said with a big grin: "It must be Neeb who won, he won once the day before yesterday!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Neeb seemed to be infected with a vicious disease, and he was carried away directly from one to two!

Offstage, the North American audience was collectively silent at this time.

They entered the WCS with this one player in North America, and they also won the South Korean in the first round to enter the upper bracket, and they thought that when they entered the quarterfinals, they lost two games in a row in the second round and were eliminated directly.

The gap is too big

Are South Koreans really that strong?

Chen Dongqing stood behind the scenes, watching Neeb walk off the stage.

The fact of failure is in front of him, even Meiye can't stay optimistic at the moment, and his melancholy face is quite obvious.

Chen Dongqing watched Neob walk to his side and politely comforted him.

Neeb sighed and said goodbye to Chen Dongqing.

This was followed by Group C.

Non-Korean player Elazer meets TY.

There is still no suspense in this group of games, TY has two flat games, and it is also 2-0 to advance!

Then, there is Group D.

All eyes were on Serral to see if the Finnish guy could pull off a miracle.

But unfortunately, it still can't be done.

The young Serral is still the first time to enter the WCS, and his strength has not yet grown to the peak, in the face of the experienced smashing book, although it was difficult to win a win in the first game, but then he was chased for two games in a row, and unfortunately eliminated.

Chen Dongqing stood behind the stage and could only sigh helplessly when he looked at this picture.

The four non-Korean players played in one day, and he was the only one left.

It seems that in the end, he will still be the one to provoke the beam.

Waiting for Serral to walk off the stage, Chen Dongqing also politely went up to say hello.

At this time, it can be seen that Serral's face is quite normal, although there is a trace of regret, but the mood is obviously not bad.

For him, being able to reach the top 16 is already a success, after all, he is only playing professionally in his second year.

And the Korean players sitting opposite him are all veterans who have been famous for many years and are famous all over the world.

So he thinks there's no shame in losing.

When he practices for another two years, it is still unknown who will kill the deer!

Of course, this idea of his is for his own. And there is always no shortage of geniuses in this world who are at the peak of their debut.

Serral looked at ilex across from him and said in English, "You should be able to go further, right?" ”

Judging from Serral's experience of being abused so many times, the sense of oppression that ilex gives him is not inferior to that of Korean players, and even surpasses it!

He believes that Ilex is definitely seriously underrated by the world!

Opposite him, Ilex smiled and said, "You should ask me if I can win the championship this time." ”

Serral smiled and asked, "Can you win the championship?" ”

Chen Dongqing replied confidently: "Yes!" ”

The exchange between the two ended, and when it came to the draw of the quarterfinals, Chen Dongqing stepped onto the stage and stood in the prescribed position as rehearsed before.

In addition to him, the rest of the players who advanced to the quarterfinals also took the stage.

ilex，STATS，Dark，Rogue，herO，TY，INnoVation，GuMiho。

Except for the first one, all of them are Koreans!

The Koreans won this year's WCS, with seven of the eight players reaching the quarterfinals!

Fortunately, a Chen Dongqing came out halfway and forcibly grabbed one of the positions.

Otherwise, wouldn't this year-end finals directly become the championship distribution game of the Koreans themselves?

Of course, how long Chen Dongqing can hold on is also a question that needs to be considered.

"Now it's up to the lottery!" Sun Yifeng said with a hint of expectation: "If the draw is good, then maybe you can enter a few more rounds!" Let's smoke a zerg, ilex has a hand in fighting the zerg. ”

Blizzard's lottery rules are relatively simple, that is, the first pool in the group, the second pool in the group, and the first and second teams are matched one by one, and the work is done.

The only thing to note is that the first and second in the same group will not be drawn together, and will be postponed downward.

Soon, a lottery guest came to the stage, and the spheres in pool 1 were drawn one by one and distributed in order.

The first ball was drawn by Lu Bu, who was placed in the first group in the upper half.

And Chen Dongqing was the third to be drawn, so he fell in the bottom half.

As for his opponents, he will have to wait until the second round.

The spheres of the second pool were also uncovered in turn.

With TY and GuMihi drawn into the top half of the bracket respectively, Chen's opponent finally surfaced.

This time it's a fairly familiar ID - Rogue.

Seeing this sign, the two people in the interstellar old boy's live broadcast room all applauded!

"Yes!" Huang Xudong couldn't help but praise loudly: "It's good to sign!" ”

"Why do you say it's a good sign? Isn't Rogue the number one zerg in the world? Sun Yifeng read a barrage, and then immediately replied: "Rogue is indeed a worm in the world, but he can't beat ilex!" ”

Rogue was infinitely suppressed by ilex in the qualifying tournament at the end of the year, which is something that everyone knows, and both of them are very optimistic about ilex in this group of matchups!

On the stage, Chen Dongqing immediately smiled when he saw this ID.

Isn't that a coincidence?

He looked up at the other side of the stage.

Rogue couldn't help but see that he had been drawn into the ilex group, and his eyes darkened.

He scored an unprecedented 7,000 points in qualifying in the second half of the year, but he was still in second place, thanks to this ilex.

And every time he worked hard to get to the first place for a week, but was beaten down by Ilex, his heart was almost broken!

He would rather meet Lu Bu than meet this monster!

Rogue came to the center of the stage and shook hands with Chen Dongqing.

Chen Dongqing looked at the low expression on the other side and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The other Koreans only showed this expression when they lost, why did you show it before you even started fighting?

After the handshake, Chen Dongqing and Rogue stood at a designated point on the stage, watching the guests draw their last hand to choose.

With the other players already drawn, there is obviously no suspense in the final hand.

STATS was drawn out, also in the lower half of the group, into the herO grouping.

STATS came to the center of the stage, shook hands with his opponent herO, and then glanced at Chen Dongqing on the side.

Both are in the bottom half of the bracket and will meet in the semi-finals as long as they both advance to the semi-finals.

The chances are very high!

STATS COULDN'T HELP BUT CLENCH HIS FISTS.

Don't make it to the quarterfinals, Ilex.

With the last group of players in place, the draw ceremony finally ended, and the top eight pairings were shown on the big screen on the scene.

Top half: INnoVation vs. TY, Dark vs. GuMihi.

Bottom half: ilex vs. Rogue, herO vs. STATS.

The host also shouted: "Okay, the top eight places of the 2017 StarCraft 2WCS year-end finals are officially confirmed!" Let's see you at BlizzCon in three days! ”

After the group stage, there will be a three-day interval, and on November 17, BlizzCon will officially start.

When the time comes, the whole Blizzard game family bucket will have a passionate game duel in these three days, and fill up all three days!

StarCraft, as the esports leader of Blizzard games, competes in prime time in the afternoon of these three days, with one day of quarterfinals, one day of semifinals, and one day of finals.

Chen Dongqing smiled and waved goodbye to the audience, and then went backstage and left with his girlfriend, coach and others.

After confirming the promotion today, it will be three days of free time, but Chen Dongqing is not in the mood for entertainment today, so he first eats to fill his stomach, and then relaxes around the hotel.

waited until night fell, Chen Dongqing and his girlfriend returned to the hotel slowly.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Chen Dongqing fell asleep on time.

[Meditation Training] is officially launched!

The importance of today's meditation training naturally goes without saying, he is the key piece of the puzzle to make up for Chen Dongqing's last shortcoming!

Chen Dongqing did not waste time, and immediately plunged into the boring training!

Game after round unfolds quickly!

It may be a difference in race, even if Chen Dongqing has never played the Zerg, the strength he shows seems to be much stronger than that of the Protoss.

From this, it can be seen that the requirements of the Zerg for operational capabilities are indeed not too high.

Therefore, Chen Dongqing's task tonight is also relatively easy, he is born with a high win rate of 60% in the battle against the Zerg of soO.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing continued to absorb experience, improving himself while learning the game ideas on the other side.

Soon, his winning rate became higher and higher, and in the end, it was difficult to find a defeat.

Chen Dongqing knew that today's training should be over.

He bulldozed the opposite base in one wave, ending today's meditation training.

Back to reality, Chen Dongqing opened his eyes and glanced at the time.

It's only five o'clock in the morning.

Chen Dongqing turned around, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Dongqing's powerful biological clock came into play and he got up on time.

He woke up his girlfriend next to him, and when they had washed up, the two of them went out for breakfast together.

In the three days leading up to the quarterfinals, Chen Dongqing should have taken every opportunity to train.

However, the Korean players did not play training matches with him at all, and Chen Dongqing's ranking score in the American suit was too low, so the ranking had no training significance.

There is no way, there is no place to practice if he wants to train, so he can only take advantage of these three days to go to Los Angeles next door to have a good time

On the afternoon of the first day of the rest day, someone had already found Chen Dongqing basking in the sun on the beach in Los Angeles.

The next day, Chen even returned to Staples, the place where dreams come true, to take a look at the Lakers' game.

This year is the worst season for the Lakers, the team lacks superstar players, and the newcomer Ingram does not look like a team that can support the team, but this does not delay Chen Dongqing's freshness, just take a look.

After the game, Chen Dongqing actually saw Kobe Bryant who came to watch the game.

Chen Dongqing went up to ask Kobe for a group photo, but unexpectedly, Kobe still knew him and knew that he was the handsome Chinese guy who won the FMVP trophy in Staples last year.

Chen Dongqing was quite surprised, and stayed to chat with Kobe Bryant.

When leaving, he said something like telling Kobe to be careful of the helicopter, and he didn't know if the other party could understand.

After leaving Staples, Chen Dongqing sat in the car and posted this group photo to his Twitter, which once again sparked heated discussions among many viewers.

No, you're going to play in a few days, what do you mean when you go to watch the Lakers play?

For Chen Dongqing, the interstellar audience highlights a person who "hates iron but does not become steel".

In the eyes of interstellar players, Ilex's talent in StarCraft is simply not too scary.

With this kind of attitude, you can reach the quarterfinals!

If this person specializes in interstellar, even if it is the same as he is on LOL's side, the first person in history is easy!

But alas, this person is just too unserious!

At this time, Neeb appeared under Chen Dongqing's tweet and opened his mouth to explain two sentences.

The general meaning is: [It's not that Ilex doesn't want to train, but Koreans don't train with non-Korean players, and Chen Dongqing, as the only non-Korean player, can't find a training match object at all! 】

Behind Neeb, other non-Korean players also came out one after another, confirming this.

As soon as these words came out, countless interstellar fans were excited and scolded Koreans for not being sportsmanlike.

Under the change of wind direction, it doesn't matter whether Chen Dongqing sunbathes or not.

But the Koreans don't speak, they play dead.

Time passed quickly, and Chen Dongqing returned to Anaheim on time on the last day of rest and entered the preparation state.

On November 17th, the vigorous BlizzCon and WCS knockout stages finally began.

After the quarterfinals of Overwatch in the morning, the stadiums were emptied.

In the afternoon, all the StarCraft quarterfinalists arrived at the venue.

StarCraft's eight-in-four tournament has officially begun!

Today it's still 5,000 words, a little plus
