After Hanwha confirmed his place in Group C in the bottom half, the referee went on to pull the second ball out of the terrarium.

At the moment when I saw EDG's team logo, I remember that my mentality collapsed and said: "What the hell is this luck, EDG actually collided with RNG!" ”

Following the S4 pig and dog war, the two teams will meet again in the World Championship after seven years, but this time the contest can no longer be called a pig and dog war.

For there are no pigs or dogs.

After EDG confirmed their entry into Group A, even though there are still two teams in pool 2 that have not yet been drawn, combined with the principle of avoiding the same group half, the matchup of the knockout rounds has been fully confirmed.

The schedule of the knockout stage and the group stage is slightly different, and it is not arranged in the order of the ABCD grouping, but is generated by random arrangement.

After the draw for the playoffs was completed, Riot officially announced the exact schedule on the event's official website.

The playoffs will take place between October 22nd and October 25th in the order of CADB, with RA taking on the T1 team led by the Great Demon Faker on the third matchday of the playoffs.

That said, RA will have five days to rest and adjust to what is bound to be an extremely difficult matchup.

When the knockout schedule was released, the public opinion on the Internet was almost completely one-sided for the BO5 between RA and T1.

Few would fancy RA to beat T1 in this knockout round.

Although the RA team has mid-laners who have shown absolute top level in the S competition, from the configuration of the lineups of both sides, except for the mid-laner counterpoint, T1 can be regarded as an all-round leader in all other lines.

And even though Faker's strength has declined significantly compared to his heyday, and he is not as frequent as Fang Jie in this World Championship, viewers who are familiar with Faker know that the Great Demon King has never been soft in the competition.

Even after falling from the top, Faker has often performed better in important tournaments than in the league.

Moreover, Faker's tournament experience is much ahead of Fang Jie, a newcomer who is participating in the World Championship for the first time.

Especially in BO5, it is not only the operation of the players that is tested, but also the ability to adjust the mentality, the ability to analyze and judge the situation, and the ability to respond in a timely manner in the BP link.

So except for operations, on other levels, the RA side obviously does not have an advantage.

On a certain forum, netizens also expressed their opinions on this game that seems to be a little different:

"Hey, it's just that Applejack has a bad life, if he debuts in RNG, replace Cryin, and the RNG lineup will not be directly stable."

"Again, huh? The Sword Finger Team has passed the EDG level first. ”

"I just hope that my brothers don't break Jackbo's legs, and find a good home next season to cash in on their talents."

"No, the game hasn't started yet? What's wrong with T1, who told you that RA can't win T1? ”

"Wake upstairs, the big devil played BO5 in the World Championship, but he has never been soft on LPL, although the background board was used by RNG in the past, and this year's RA turn can only be regarded as his bad luck."

"Blowing Jieba is going to expose his true form in the quarterfinals!"

"He hasn't made a score yet, so he's all crazy, don't you want to meet the big demon king? Now that he has met him, I want to see how he died. ”

In the case of one-sided public opinion, the sunspots who usually dare not stand up against the wind have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

However, Fang Jie, who is dedicated to preparing for the game, has no time to go to the Internet to read these comments.

Even if you brush it, there is nothing to say, with Fang Jie's character, after seeing this kind of remarks, I am afraid that not only will not be hit, but will only be more energetic, and use practical actions to slap the faces of the sunspots.

After two days of pre-match training and tactical discussions, the RA team leader received a notice from the official staff that the five members of the team will go to the officially arranged shooting location with T1 to shoot the promotional video for the knockout stage.

After receiving this news, a trace of anticipation flashed on Fang Jie's face.

During the filming of the promotional video, all members of the T1 team will also be present, and they can peek into the life configuration of all T1 members through the eye of the sky.

There are some special limitations on the use of this function, Fang Jie cannot peep at other players' lives through the video screen, and can only read the player's life information when he sees the player himself on the field or on other occasions.

In addition to the purpose of peeking into the configuration of the proposition, it is also something to look forward to for Fang Jie to meet with the Faker player before the match.

After all, before crossing over to become a professional player, Faker was also regarded as Fang Jie's little half of the idol.

Although Fang Jie's true idol has always been the Rookie player of the IG team, as a League of Legends player, especially a player in the mid-laner position, I am afraid that it is difficult for most people not to like and appreciate the existence of a legend like Faker.

Under Fang Jie's heart, the filming of the promotional video was held as scheduled.

At about eight o'clock in the evening of the same day, the RA team members took a bus to the official shooting site prepared in advance, and as soon as they got off the bus, Fang Jie was attracted by the bonfire that greeted him.

It seems that the bonfire is the background of this promotional video.

Several members of the T1 team had already arrived ahead of RA, talking and laughing in front of the blazing bonfire.

Under the reflection of the firelight, the faces of each member of T1 are full of confidence and vitality.

On the contrary, the moment he saw T1 and a few people, the expression on Fang Jie's face was not so relaxed.

Made, this configuration is a bit difficult to overcome.

No wonder it was the team that lost in five rounds with DK.

T1's performance in the league this year is actually not very good, the team directly staged a palace fight, and the lineup has also changed several times, until the second half of the summer season finally found the right five people, the current lineup is determined.

With the solidification of the lineup and the gradual run-in, T1's record has also improved, and finally entered the playoffs with the fourth record in the regular season, and made great progress in the playoffs, and finally successfully met the DK team on the final stage.

However, in the final of the summer tournament, T1 was defeated by DK with a score of 3:1, DK showed its terrifying dominance, although T1 still got 1 point in this BO5, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is still a clear gap between the two teams.

Who would have thought that T1 would usher in another metamorphosis at Worlds.

Fang Jie had to be amazed by the amazing adaptability of this amazing team in the competition.

The current T1, from the perspective of the proposition, is clearly a championship-level configuration!
