G2, who rose from the play-in tournament, actually won the second qualification in Group C from the hands of FPX, the third seed from the LPL.

This result shocked countless people.

There has always been such a sentence on the LPL side to describe European and American teams - European and American fishing comparison!

Neither LPL nor LCK has taken European and American teams into account, but there is C9 in Group A and now G2 in Group C, all of which have qualified from the group.

Many people are exclaiming, is Europe and the United States going to rise?

Many viewers and fans on the LPL side are all spraying on the Internet, asking FPX not to book a plane ticket, and walk back directly on foot, or swim back from the sea.

Hearing the news of FPX's defeat, Lin Yuyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

In fact, when he met FPX's crowd at the airport, Lin Yuyu guessed that FPX's results in this World Championship might not be too good.

But Lin Yuyu estimated that FPX should have no problem winning the quarterfinals, but he didn't expect to even qualify for the group.

It can only be said that their mentality, luck, and strength ...... A little is lacking in all aspects.

Fortunately, the 'public opinion' against FPX only lasted for one night, as the Group D match was ushered in on October 17th.

EDG won all three games in the first round of the group stage, and the qualification for the group is basically locked.

But the difference between the first and second groups is huge.

What are the monsters and monsters who are the first places in this year's group?

KT，KZ，IG！

If EDG finish second in their group, they will face one of these three teams in the quarter-finals.

IG will not talk about it, KZ and KT they also have no confidence to win at all.

So for EDG, they have to get the first place in this group.

From the occasional scenes released on the live screen, it can be seen that all the EDG members are relatively relaxed today, and there is basically no problem with the state.

EDG's first two opponents are 100 and GRX, and these two opponents EDG naturally won easily.

It wasn't until EDG faced FNC again that the heat of the game suddenly increased.

If EDG wins FNC in this game, then EDG will directly lock in the first place in the group.

But if FNC wins EDG in this game, then the record of both sides will come to 5:1 and there will be a play-off.

In this game, EDG still chooses to focus on the middle and lower double C stocking on the road.

FNC, on the other hand, chose to break through from the top half of EDG.

Brother Gong Zi and Li Xiaochan are actually the kind of players who can carry the development of the lane period, but the problem is that the FNC side not only comes to the jungler to make trouble in the upper half of the area, but even the support comes to the upper lane every once in a while.

I directly chose a wheel mom with TP on the lower road.,The line is to eat if you can.,If you can't eat, hang up under the tower.,A posture of a double row with the defense tower.。

Wheel mother's QWE skill is simply too suitable for this style of play.,Q skill consumes a soldier line to open W flat A few rounds.,There are also E skills to save your life.,It's not easy to kill even if only one person wants to cross the tower.。

Even if you are caught dead once, you can still TP the line.

The European 'Gao Xuecheng' is also a veteran who has played for so many years, and his ability to carry this piece is naturally undoubted.

On the contrary, the assistance of FNC is high, and the bull head can drive the rhythm wherever he goes.

In this kind of high-end game, there is no need to kill the opponent at all, and his bull head only needs to play the opponent's summoner skill, or reduce the opponent's HP, which is enough to affect the balance of the lane.

The key is that FNC is a lineup that starts with a team rush in this game, and EDG is a lineup that defends and counterattacks in the later stage.

This is also EDG's favorite lineup.

In this case, after FNC achieved a huge advantage in the first half of the field, it continued to use neutral resources to force EDG to take over.

In the face of FNC's rushing system, the late defensive lineup selected by EDG could not take over at this time.

In the end, he was forcibly beaten by FNC for two waves, and the economic gap was widened to 4000+!

In fact, at this time, EDG can still play, after all, the late lineup, the backward 4000 economy is almost the same as the backward 2000 economy.

But at this critical moment, Uzi stepped up and took the initiative to knock out FNC's jungler barrel in seconds.

In order to take down the head of the barrel, Uzi obviously caught up, and there was a disconnect with the team, resulting in his own being seconded.

In the end, FNC pursued EDG.

Although this wave of pursuit did not kill any of the remaining EDGs, after all, one of EDG's traditional abilities is to escape.

But EDG's position was completely dispersed under this chase, and the vision was completely snatched away by FNC.

Although EDG did not die except for Uzi, they were all crippled and needed to go home to resupply.

FNC took advantage of this gap to fight the big dragon with all his might.

I have to say that FNC's move is really crazy, because the jungler on FNC's side was killed by Uzi.

It was for this reason that EDG didn't expect FNC to dare to fight Dalong without a jungler, so he didn't pre-tighten at all, and after coming out of the house, he went unhurriedly to grab the view.

The inertia of the mind paralyzed EDG, causing FNC to get the big dragon in the early 20s.

As soon as this big dragon was taken, all the EDG members were completely stunned.

Although they were in a state of economic disadvantage before, the disadvantage was not particularly large, and the strength of the squad will continue to improve in the later stage to erase these economic gaps.

But with the big dragon, EDG has no way to parry at this time.

Although the strength of EDG's late-stage lineup continues to improve, this time is also the peak of FNC's lineup strength.

In the face of the FNC that took the big dragon, EDG did not have the qualifications to connect the regiment at all.

FNC took the opportunity to play a four-one band and took down almost all of EDG's outer towers.

EDG can only choose to put it down, and the economic gap has suddenly widened from 4,000 to nearly 8,000!

The economic gap of 4000 is acceptable, and 8000 is not a level at all.

The situation has come to this point, in fact, the winner has basically been divided, unless EDG can play a 10,000 economic turnaround group like SKT.

In the end, in the stunned and disappointed eyes of countless people, EDG still lost this game.

As soon as this game was lost, the 'public opinion' theory exploded completely.

Everyone began to divide the pot, and it was a question of who lost this game.

Some people say that Uzi is too impulsive, some people say that EDG teammates are too cowardly to fight, and some people say that EDG's teamfight decision-making problems caused the loss of the big dragon.

Anyway, the Internet is completely noisy.

In Lin Yuyu's opinion, losing this game is really not a problem of any one person, everyone in the EDG team has problems.

Fortunately, EDG gave Uzi a strong AD in the early stage in the playoff, and then chose Orn on the road, and chose the late stage of the Tsar's guarantee for the mid-laner Li Xiaocan.

In this game, the whole team revolved around Uzi, opened up the situation from the bottom lane, and won the playoff smoothly.

In the end, EDG still had a thrilling way to qualify from Group D by winning the group.

After the first group appeared, both the LPL audience team and the LCK audience team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I have to say that EDG, which has Uzi joining this year, is much more fierce than last year.

They are really afraid that EDG will send one away to KT or KZ in the first round, then LCK will really cry.

The first of the four groups all broke through the quarterfinals smoothly and fought again in the semifinals.

After the group stage, the draw for subsequent eliminations will be held on the same day.

There is only one rule for the draw of the knockout round, and the same group is not in the same half of the region.

Soon the draw ceremony will begin!

The first draw is naturally the seed pool that will be the first in the group.

The first one drawn is the first IG of Group B!

IG is in the upper half of Zone A!

The second one was drawn as the first KT in Group C!

KT is in the lower half of Zone A!

The third one drawn was the first group in Group D, EDG!

EDG is in the upper half of Zone B!

The fourth is naturally the first KZ in Group A!

KZ is in the lower half of Zone B!

The two halves of the knockout round are each with one team from the LPL and one from the LCK.

Next up is the seeding pool for the second place in the group.

At the time of the draw, the teams that qualified second in the group couldn't help but get nervous.

It seems that they will have a hard time qualifying no matter who they draw, but they obviously don't want to meet IG even more.

Only GEN breathed a sigh of relief, because they must not be in the same area as IG.

The first one drawn is D's second in the group, which has just lost to EDG's FNC!

When the results of this draw were announced, the European 'Gao Xuecheng', a player at the FNC scene, couldn't help but stiffen.

The audience in the backstage lounge all turned dark, and some of them even couldn't help but scold.

"Fake, how did you meet IG?"

"Bastard, how do you fight this?"

"Is it going to be home again in the quarterfinals this year?"

……

The audience doesn't really care who IG draws, they want to know if EDG will meet GEN.

In the anticipation of countless people, the second lucky winner was announced.

It's Team G2!

However, due to the principle of avoiding the semi-zone of the same group, the G2 team was automatically postponed to the top half of Group B.

That's right, G2's opponent is naturally EDG!

At the moment when G2 was drawn, the corners of Tian Ye's mouth at the scene couldn't help but show a faint smile.

It's not that Tian Ye thinks G2 is weak, but that they only have two opponents, one is G2 and the other is GEN.

Naturally, they prefer G2 as their opponent to the third seed from the LCK.

Everyone in the EDG backstage lounge couldn't help but laugh, and Uzi clapped and laughed.

Only Ming Kai, who was standing in the corner, couldn't help frowning.

This scene was also recorded by the camera.

The next third draw was GEN, and for the same reason as G2, GEN automatically moved to the bottom half of Zone B and became KZ's opponent.

LCK's Team Civil War!

As soon as this result came out, the audience and fans on the LPL side all laughed.

Although the audience on the LCK side is not in a good mood, they can at least comfort themselves and be able to guarantee a semi-final.

Only the world in which GEN and KZ were injured was born.

The state of KZ Summer is not as good as that of the Spring Race, and the World Championship is divided into the weakest Group A, otherwise it is difficult to say that it can appear first in the group.

Now I have met GEN, who has been tempered by IG in the group stage, and it is not certain whether he can play or not.

GEN also doesn't have much confidence in whether he can beat KZ.

After the draw, the audience, whether it is LPL or LCK, is already fantasizing about the scene of the teams in their own region meeting in the finals.

The probability of the two divisions meeting in the final is actually about the same.

Although KT is also strong in Group A, it is difficult to break through IG.

On the B side, LCK is more dominant, and no matter who wins KZ and GEN, the winner will obviously have an advantage when they play EDG.

The group stage ends on October 17, and the quarterfinals start on October 20.

There are only two days to spare in between.

Fortunately, the quarterfinals, like the group stage, were played in Busan.

The only difference is that the venue for the tournament has been changed!

Unlike the group stage, the number of spectators in the quarterfinals has skyrocketed a lot, and the small stadium with a few hundred people is definitely not enough, and it needs to be replaced with a larger venue.

After two days of preparation on the 18th and 19th, at 9 o'clock in the morning on October 20th, all IG members set off for the competition venue.

The quarterfinals are played over two days, with two Bo5s playing in one day, with the second Bo5 starting at 4 p.m. and the first Bo5 starting at 12 noon.

IG, as well as FNC, which is in the upper half of Zone A, are scheduled to play the first Bo5 today.

It stands to reason that in the World Championship held in the local area, the team in its own region should be arranged to play first, so that the popularity will increase faster.

But the IG team not only has many fans in the LPL, but also has a lot of fans on the LCK side.

Although there are many people who shout for the expulsion of Song Yijin and Kang Seung-jin, there are also many LCK viewers who are their fans.

Coupled with some 'small' requirements from the LCK team, IG became the first team to play the quarterfinals.

The three branches of the LCK are very curious to see what kind of BP IG can show in this Bo5, and the version understanding.

Knowing IG's BP and version understanding will actually help them focus on subsequent games.

Although the group stage and the quarterfinals were played in different venues, the hotels where the players stayed did not change.

The hotel is farther away from the venue of the quarterfinals, so although the IG people set off at nine o'clock, when they arrived at the hotel, it was already after half past ten.

When they arrived at the venue, there were already countless spectators and fans at the venue.

Surrounded by spectators and fans, the IG crowd entered the competition venue.

The quarterfinals also have a pre-match promotional video, after a simple pre-match promotional video for the quarterfinals.

The picture on the big screen was given to the players on the scene!

Today's commentators are Guan Zeyuan, Remember, and Wang Duoduo.

"Hello everyone, I'm Guan Zeyuan!"

"I remember!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Duoduo!"

After a simple greeting, Guan Zeyuan was the first to speak: "We finally ushered in the long-awaited knockout round today!" ”

"Even though it's only been two days, I feel like I've been waiting for a long time??? I remember laughing: "I have to say, except for the finals of the World Championship, only IG matches should be able to give me this kind of expectation." ”

"The audience and fans are saying that IG's style of play this year has changed significantly!" Wang Duoduo joked: "Many viewers and fans are calling for Atower players not to play three games today, so as to give other IG players room to play freely." ”

"That's right, due to the brilliant performance in the IG group stage, everyone now has a love-hate feeling for Atower." Guan Zeyuan also laughed: "Atower's IG combat power is invincible, but it is more rigorous!" If Atower doesn't play, IG's matches will become extremely enjoyable, but the win rate will not be guaranteed. ”

"That's easy, Atower wins a game first and then changes it, if you can't beat it, you can change it again!" Wang Duoduo raised his eyebrows.

"That's what the audience and fans suggested!" Guan Zeyuan nodded fiercely.

Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a commuter pass!
