It's been two days since the end of the match with RNG, and under the leadership of Jiang Yu, the G2 team has won the game against other opponents in the same group one after another.

In the first round of the group stage, G2 in Group A temporarily held the first place with a score of 3-0, while RNG in second place was 2-1.

If nothing else, only G2 and RNG will qualify for Group A, but the two teams will determine who is the group leader based on the final score of the second round of the group stage.

Judging from the current situation, the scores of Group B, Group C and Group D are not very anxious, but Group A is an exception.

At present, although G2 in Group A has won RNG in the first round, in the eyes of many industry insiders in the outside world, RNG still has a very high winning rate in the second round.

If RNG wins G2 in the second round, the scores will be tied and the two teams will go into extra time to decide who will win the group.

Winning the group is very important for both teams.

According to the rules of this year's MSI, the first place from each group in the quarterfinals after the group stage is divided into four halves, and each will face the second place from the other group.

In other words, if you finish second in the group, the probability of meeting SKT in the quarterfinals will become very high.

Everyone knows that if you want to win the MSI championship, you have to face SKT, but meeting SKT in the quarterfinals and SKT in the finals are two different things.

"So now the question is, do you want to meet SKT in the quarterfinals or the semifinals?"

On the eve of the start of the second round of the group stage, there was an internal meeting in G2, and head coach Sentana looked around the crowd and asked.

The subconscious meaning is to ask your teammates if they want to compete for the first place in this group.

It's not uncommon to use your advantage to control points and meet more reasonable opponents in esports events, after all, it's also a tactic in a sense.

"Look at the captain."

Ah P shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, for us, it doesn't matter who the opponent is at all. ”

Again, whoever wants to win the championship in this day and age has to face SKT.

Unless SKT gets into the water of his own brain and is sent away directly by some unknown team, but the probability of such a thing is too small to almost be considered non-existent.

"Indeed, I remember when the captain didn't say he wanted to play SKT?"

The jungler seconded on the side: "Or we will take the second place in the group?" ”

Everyone in G2 turned their eyes on Jiang Yu, as if they were waiting for him to make a decision.

"There's no need."

Jiang Yu was silent for a few seconds and then slowly spoke: "I can understand your thoughts, including myself, I am very eager to fight SKT, but compared to these, I am more willing to give my best in every game. ”

"And you have overlooked the fact that the probability of meeting SKT in the second group is only increasing, but not 100% of the time."

Although the first of the four groups plays the second of the four groups, there is a rule of avoidance in the same group.

In other words, no matter who is first and second in Group A, neither of the two teams will be in the same half of the quarterfinals, and the probability of each group runner-up meeting SKT is actually around 33.333.

This probability is not small, but it is not big either.

"So there is another possibility, that is, we will meet another team in the quarterfinals, and then we will meet SKT or RNG in the semi-finals according to the semi-finals."

Hearing this, everyone in G2 fell silent.

"But you said you wanted to eliminate RNG with your own hands."

Ah P said in a deep voice: "If we get the first place in the group, then the person who eliminated RNG will become SKT." ”

As a teammate, he knows very well how eager Jiang Yu is to eliminate RNG with his own hands, and the theme of today's meeting is also to consider Jiang Yu's needs.

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Yu smiled dumbly, and immediately understood the intentions of his teammates.

Is it likely that you want to fulfill your desire to eliminate RNG by yourself?

"If RNG really meets SKT in the quarterfinals, then it only means that they are not qualified to appear in front of us."

"Got it, I see what you mean."

Head coach Sentana nodded and said, "Then everything will go according to the original plan, and strive to win all the games and win the group." ”

......

Soon, it was the next day.

Today's match is still crowded, as today's second round of Group A will determine who is the first place, and even the number of viewers on the live streaming platform has broken a new record.

"There are still so many people..."

Ah P complained in the lounge: "It's a pity that no one is willing to applaud the opponent." ”

It can be seen that he is still haunted by what happened a few days ago, after all, the events of that day even left a big shadow on him.

"If they lose today, they will probably be willing."

Jiang Yu teased: "They will even call you mascots very cutely." ”

P: ......

Forget it, buddy has to win!

"In today's game, RNG will probably come up with the lineup they are best at, and there may be a few more of our bans that can't be handled after targeting the midfield."

At this time, the head coach Sentana came over and said: "So today's core focus will be shifted to the upper and middle lines, do you have any questions?" ”

In the first round, although RNG did not show the strength it should have, the G2 side probably analyzed something.

To put it simply, the G2 coaching staff believes that RNG's bottom lane is not capable of carrying the game, so they should focus on watching out for RNG's top laner in the second encounter.

"No, it's a big deal to go down the road 1v1."

Ah P shrugged his shoulders and said: "After the first round of the game, they probably know that the bottom lane can't be a breakthrough, so mata should choose a stronger roaming support to help his teammates establish an advantage." ”

"Well, that's what I think."

Sentana nodded and said, "However, in terms of the structure of the overall lineup, this time my idea is to play a mid-boost teamfight lineup. ”

RNG has a champion who debuted in the LCK to assist, so the overall game style will be biased towards late-stage operations, and once it enters the late game, RNG's operation ability may put G2 in an extremely passive situation.

Although they have Jiang Yu's existence, they are not too worried that they will be led by the nose by the other side when they enter the operation link, but after all, it is naturally the best for the G2 team not to delay the later stage.

"Or... I'm going to play a robbery? ”

At this time, Jiang Yu suddenly said, "How is it?" ”

G2 Crowd: .......
