Chapter 105: Purgatory Mode! The results of the knockout draw are out
The result of Group D was the same as everyone expected, and in the end they still got a record of four wins and one loss, and they were the first in the group with RA.
After four wins, the eight knockout spots in this World Championship have been confirmed, and the only thing that has not yet been confirmed is who will finish as group winners of the two teams, RA and RA.
The two sides ushered in the final matchup of the group stage of the World Championship, keeping the suspense until the end.
The outcome of this match is actually difficult to predict, although RA successfully won in the first round of the group stage, it was based on Fang Jie's clockwork in the game to play a number of consecutive performances against the sky.
That match was undoubtedly the toughest win for RA in the group stage.
Even if Fang Jie has played an MVP-level performance every game, in all the games of the World Championship, if you have to choose his most C-hand, it will definitely be the clockwork of that one.
Fang Jie even filled the experience bar of [Turning the Tide] in that game, so that this life character advanced from a developmental state to a cultivated state.
Therefore, from an objective point of view, netizens are even more optimistic.
First, after experiencing the first defeat in the World Championship, he directly won four consecutive victories, and now his morale is at its peak, and secondly, it is actually difficult for Fang Jie to play against the sky like in the previous game.
After all, no matter how strong a player is, there must be a limit, and JOJO is a human being and not a god.
In anticipation of the audience and commentators, the game officially began.
It was really as expected by some viewers before the game, which showed everyone an excellent competitive state, and even the performance of some team members is not an exaggeration to call it explosive.
The top laner Rascal and the jungler Clid were originally a highly talked about Ueno combination, and the two sides even staged a world famous painting of "Crossing the Tribulation Wave Brothers, Laughing and Laughing at Each Other" in the last World Championship, but in this game, the two actually showed an excellent degree of tacit understanding, directly incarnated as a conjoined baby, and poked a big hole in the road.
This also caused Rascal's Qinggang Shadow to enter a state of no fertilizer in advance, not only putting huge pressure on RA at the single-belt end, but also becoming a powerful weapon for opening a group with no way to counteract in team battles.
However, with all the players in excellent condition, RA still played a few beautiful counterattacks.
It can only be said that JOJO is still the same JOJO, and Iboy's performance in the early stage is not inferior to Ruler.
However, as the game entered the middle and late stages, Bdd's Tsar and Ruler's Ephelius began to exert their strength, and thanks to the team's economic leadership accumulated in the early stage, the output ability of the two teams was gradually not at the same level.
In such a situation, RA dragged the game to forty minutes, but unfortunately lost in the end.
When RA's crystal was bulldozed, I remember that the teacher said with a regretful face: "Is JOJO's blue-skinned man poisonous, the blue-skinned man loses two hands in the world competition, and both are full of output but can't win the game." ”
"Hey, the two losses of RA are actually the same problem, that is, the hole that was torn open in the early stage of the road is too big. I'll admit that Cube's performance at Worlds has improved significantly, but at the moment it's clearly not enough. The Cat Emperor changed his words: "There is no way, I can only congratulate Brother Guan." ”
Guan Zeyuan was shocked when he heard this: "Congratulations to me for what? ”
"On the issue of right and wrong, I am still on the side of our LPL." Guan Zeyuan said with a serious face.
When speaking, Guan Zeyuan tried not to let any emotional fluctuations appear on his face, because at such a critical juncture, once he was caught by netizens, his social media account would be washed away again.
You must know that his identity as a die-hard Samsung fan was criticized back then, and some netizens even changed their names and nationalities.
Colonel Guan definitely doesn't like the title "Park Zeyuan" in private.
The three onmyoji are always not afraid to push each other into the fire pit by the most insidious means, but fortunately, the skills of several people are extremely profound, and at the level of seeing the moves, the colonel Guan and the presley emperor have reached the peak, and the fire that they honestly remember on weekdays is still lacking.
After losing this crucial game and qualifying for the knockout round as the second in the group, RA also began to face some criticism on a forum.
"As I said a long time ago, RA won't go far in this Worlds. No one really thinks JOJO can do anything, right? The quarterfinals are already over! ”
"A long time ago? I didn't see you open your mouth when RA won. ”
"JO fans are getting anxious, aren't they? Who made you second in your group? Don't look at who you can beat the first in the group, you can't meet it, which one of SKT or DK can meet? ”
"Oh no, there's a two-thirds chance that RNG will have a civil war...... Hey, I finally won the first place in the group, but in the end, there is a high probability that I will meet my own brothers......"
"This World Championship is no longer playful, let's disperse quickly. RA and EDG are the top eight, the RNG semi-finals are over, and the finals are Korean civil wars! ”
After the places in the knockout rounds were confirmed, combined with the competitive state shown by each team, not only did RA suffer some criticism, but netizens were quite unoptimistic about the overall results of the LPL.
In fact, it's not just netizens who think so, but when DK is still in full swing, and T1 has played well in this World Championship, fully showing the heritage of a strong team, even relevant practitioners who are professionally engaged in event evaluation and analysis are not optimistic about LPL's chances of winning the championship in this World Championship.
As a result, with the unanimous singing of online comments, the draw for the knockout round officially began.
The knockout draw was held immediately after the final match day of the group stage had been completed, so the match against RA had just come to an end, and the exciting draw was ushered in after only ten minutes.
At this time, the members of the RA team had just returned to the lounge, and the members of the team looked at the big screen with solemn expressions.
Because everyone already knows that if they finish second in their group, their next World Championship journey will be extremely difficult.
Among them, Cube's expression was even a little self-reproachful, Fang Jie patted him on the shoulder when he saw this situation and said, "Ah Yi, you have played very well, this blames me and Lebao for not being able to give more support on the road in the early stage." ”
"That's right, Ah Yi, this is really to blame me, it's because I didn't handle the rhythm of brushing the field in the early stage." Le Yan hurriedly agreed.
"Oh, let's take it easy, in the summer, we didn't even dare to think of the quarterfinals." Xiao Zhao also comforted.
Hearing this, Cube barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Boss, no matter which team I meet, I will definitely try my best not to hold the team back." ”
Fang Jie smiled and said: "You are wrong, as a team, there is no hindrance, everyone should do their best." ”
After some conversation, the oppressive atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.
The draw has begun, and the official referee of the tournament is responsible for the draw for the knockout round.
Seeing the referee walk to the front of the stage and take out the first small ball containing the team's logo from the glass container, all the spectators in front of the screen have already raised their throats.
"It's RNG! RNG was assigned to the top half. When I saw the referee unfolding the note in his hand, I remember to blurt out immediately.
And when I saw that the second one in the No. 1 pool was drawn, I remember that the teacher immediately added: "It's so drawn!" ”
At first glance, this draw is indeed a good draw, because among the four No. 1 pool teams, it is indeed a relatively weak link.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly quite good for the overall appearance of RNG.
At the same time as the results of this draw came out, in the lounge of RA, a glimmer of light flashed in Fang Jie's eyes.
What should have come is still coming.
According to the principle of avoiding the same group followed by the draw for the knockout stage, the two teams that qualify from the same group will not be assigned to the same half of the district.
That is, in the case of appearing in the upper half, the RA can only go to the lower half.
And the opponent that RA is about to encounter, there are only two options left.
That is, the two teams in the No. 1 team pool that have not yet been drawn.
T1 and DK.
The other people of RA didn't seem to realize this yet, until Colonel Guan smiled wryly: "Then RA is difficult." ”
I remember that the teacher was also puzzled: "Why is RA difficult?" ”
Colonel Guan continued to sell Guan Zi and said: "RA is going to be three packs of one by the LCK team. ”
I remember showing a surprised look, looking at the big screen while repeatedly scrutinizing Guan Zeyuan's words.
After a few seconds, it dawned on me: "it!" ”
The second brother of the temperament directly broke out a foul sentence in the official live broadcast room.
Since RNG is in the top half, the second HLE in Group B can only appear in the bottom half, so the four teams in the bottom half are locked in.
T1, DK, HLE, and RA.
RA was directly surrounded by three South Korean teams.
Although the commentary on stage is not explicitly stated, almost everyone has realized that RA has basically gone far.
As the draw continued, DK became the third team to be drawn from pool 1.
The rest is T1.
Then it was time for the all-important draw for Pool 2.
Both the narrator and the audience held their breath.
The referee took out a small ball from the glass container and slowly opened the paper inside.
"Hanwha!" Quickly remembering to say loudly: "In that case, Hanwha will go straight to the bottom half of the bracket and will go to fight DK!" ”
"In other words, RA will face T1 directly in the quarterfinals!"
Seeing this, Cube in the lounge made an expression of hiding his face again, and Le Yan, who was still more optimistic just now, grabbed his hair directly.
"What's the matter, Brother Jie. That's too much of a back-to-back idea. Le Yan said with a look of annoyance.
In fact, this was exactly the result of the lottery that Fang Jie dreamed of, and when he thought that he would fight against Faker, the great demon king who had already become a legend, in a few days, Fang Jie's chest suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride.
Even gods will have a day of bloodshed.
What's more, before themselves, Brother Crown and Caps have already done this.
"Lebao, how does my brother usually treat you?" Fang Jie suddenly asked a question that couldn't be beaten with eight poles.
"You don't have to say anything to me, Brother Jie." Le Yan said with a puzzled expression.
"Then help me." Fang Jie's words were not said to Le Yan alone.
He looked around, his gaze sweeping over his companions.
"Help me climb over this mountain so that everyone can hear our story."
Go over the mountain and they'll hear your story.
Regardless of how the story ends.
Fang Jie raised his eyes and saw that there seemed to be two mountains in front of him at this moment.
Towering straight into the clouds, towering, layers of mountains.
In the middle of the mist-shrouded mountainside, there seems to be a ladder stone stack, hanging on the side of the cliff.
The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky.
But if you don't climb the Shu Road, how can you know the hardships of winning the championship?
Only by stepping on the mountains can you enjoy the wonderful scenery.
It is to climb to the top and see that all the mountains are small.
