Wolf tells his story.

And the audience of the Korean Open also thought of the scene where the KT team was beaten by RNG in the intercontinental match, and there was inevitably a trace of desolation in their hearts.

This year's LCK division can be said to be a complete pizza in international competitions-

Fail!

Fiasco!

Lost!

All kinds of words that they originally gave to other teams were ruthlessly used on the teams in their own regions.

therefore

Even though the LCK canteen gave the second place to the NRG, the audience did not express many conflicting opinions.

Daqing, already dead!

The LCK region, which was once a standout, seems to be gone forever!

"Uzi's individual abilities have become quite exaggerated this year. I'd love to play him again. Bang was also a little saddened when Wolf introduced him to the audience.

World Championships

He hasn't been absent since S5!

I didn't expect to miss it this year.

"The only thing to be thankful for, though, is that RNG doesn't have a very high win rate against our LCK teams in international tournaments." Wolf didn't say anything discouraged.

He pulled out a small blackboard from behind him.

Written in chalk on it are the records of the "royal family" against the LCK BO5 in the past years:

【2013 World Championship Final RYL 0-3 SKT】

【2014 World Finals SHR 1-3 SSW】

【2016 MSI Semifinals RNG 1-3 SKT】

【2016 World 1/4 Finals RNG 1-3 SKT】

【2017 World Semifinals RNG 2-3 SKT】

"Although since S6, RNG is no longer the royal family it used to be."

"But I still put up the record of this team when they played against OGN league teams in S3 and S4."

5-15！

An average of 33.3 percent!

Looking at the results on the small blackboard, the audience of the Korean Open suddenly climaxed.

And most of the players present in the canteen were also happy.

Because

Except for the S4 season, when the Samsung team won the God of War RNG in the BO5 of the World Championship, every other year, SKT personally arrested this top team from the LPL region!

Faker watched SKT win again and again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

[I have always recognized SKT's performance at the World Championships. 】

[To LPL Treasure - SKT! ] 】

[Come back, my proudest SKT. 】

【An era. It seems to have come to an end. 】

[There is no SKT at the Worlds, and I am always panicking about the results of the LCK this year. 】

[I beg the boss of SKT not to pick the door like this season, the advertising fee and endorsement fee will naturally make a lot of money, why do you have to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon? ] 】

[Lee Jaewan was very proud when he talked about this record! ] 】

[Trivia: Before the S7 World Championship, RNG and his predecessor Royalty played the best BO5 record against LCK teams in the LPL! ] 】

……

October 7, Lol Park, Seoul.

EDG and his entourage walked in with great interest.

The League of Legends World Championship lasts almost a month.

Therefore, even though the play-in tournament covers the widest range of regions and has more teams, it is not very interesting compared to the group stage or even the knockout stage that may be held in the future.

In the group stage of the play-in round, 12 teams were divided into ABCD4 groups, and after 4 days of competition, eight teams advanced.

The group stage ended on the 4th.

Many teams in the Wild Card region have already boarded their flights home after experiencing the League of Legends World Series.

Even, many players have returned to the anchor

In yesterday's play-in knockout stage, the two groups of AD teams that advanced to the group stage, C9 and GRX, were decided.

Today, it will be here that the teams from the two BC groups will advance to the group stage.

"Samsung vs. DFM!"

"C9 vs. INF!"

"There didn't seem to be any suspense in today's game."

The qualifiers in the LCK and North America regions will play against two teams from the Wild Card Division, and both in terms of the name of the team and the strength of the team's players, the former will definitely win today's game.

The likelihood of an upset is slim!

"It's pretty good, too."

"Playing training matches and rank in the past few days has made me tired to death, and it's rare to be able to relax for a day."

"I love watching the teams from the four major regions compete for a place in the group stage with the teams from the wild card regions, and it would be even better if there was a blast!"

Mala Xiangguo said heartlessly: "As long as Samsung or C9 is upset, isn't it a little more likely for us to win the championship?" ”

"You're right, I'd like to see an upset today, but it's too hard." Jiang Zhun was also very relaxed, chatting with his teammates while browsing the decorations of Lol Park.

Lol Park is a place similar to an exhibition hall built on the theme of League of Legends.

Not only is there a stadium with a capacity of about 800 people, but there are also more exhibition halls about the game League of Legends.

Upon entering the door, the EDG players saw an off-white statue of Baron Nash.

The lighting in the exhibition hall is very well arranged, and every detail of Baron Nash is vividly depicted.

In addition, turn right at the entrance of the gate and you can see the equipment that can be used to 3D print the team emblem.

Due to the inconvenience in payment, EDG people only took a look at it and did not choose to make a purchase.

"Alipay and WeChat can be used everywhere, so why can't it be strange here."

The sister scratched her head, very incomprehensible.

Although because the World Championship version was launched in a hurry, the training pressure of the players was very high.

But after coming to the Great Cold Netherworld, everyone will still take the time to go outside.

In those larger supermarkets, even small roadside stores have Alipay or WeChat QR codes.

So that even if they don't understand the language, they can easily make payments.

"Field, do you want to buy that?"

Hai Chengmin looked at the sister buckle and turned his head to look at the 3D printing machine, and hurriedly asked.

"No, no, I'm just curious."

"I almost forgot that there were two locals on our team."

Tian Ye scratched his head, looking like he hadn't woken up.

Although it is difficult to pay on their side, Hai Chengmin and Li Xiaochan will definitely have PayPal in their mobile phones.

Just let them help themselves buy it first and then transfer the money over.

Of course, since the field itself is only curious about the machine.

After finding that I couldn't pay with WeChat and Alipay, I had no desire to buy.

Ask your teammates to buy it for you, and then make money for yourself, so it's better not to buy it directly.

Anyway, every year in the World Championships, there is an opportunity to exchange uniforms with other teams or give small gifts to team goods.

"Let's go in first, there will be more people in a minute."

The factory director saw that everyone was walking slowly, as if they were coming to visit, and his tone was a little urgent.

Samsung and C9 played a game of wild card teams competing for tickets to the group stage, and seriously, there was no need for them to waste their time coming and watching.

The reason why the players of the entire club came here today is mainly because everyone has been training for a week in a row, and there will be a group stage draw after the play-in round, so the factory director made this decision, so that the players can relax and watch the draw ceremony on the spot.

"Okay, okay."

Although the venue can only accommodate 800 people, it seems a bit small.

However, Riot still specially reserved seats for workers and those involved in the event.

Before the start of the game, the EDG crowd walked down the alley from the lounge to the players' seats on the far left of the venue.

There are already a lot of wild card players who have been eliminated but have not yet returned to China.

They didn't particularly care at first when they saw EDG dressed in casual clothes, but when Jiang Zhun's tall figure appeared in the dim light, the players of these wild card teams realized that it was EDG people who came to watch the game.

Many people hurriedly got up and greeted each other in a variety of languages.

Although they can't be an opponent of EDG in the group stage, it doesn't prevent them from having a close and personal exchange with their favorite players as fans.

The movement on this side also quickly attracted the audience on the side.

Even though most of them were people from the Great Cold Netherworld and spectators from other regions who had come from the other side of the world to support Team C9, many of them began to cheer wildly after discovering that it was the players from Team EDG.

Someone who was a little bold took off his short sleeves directly, and threw the floor group towards Director Jiang and the others, and then frantically motioned for them to sign with gestures.

I am used to walking down the street and meeting fans, so when I travel, the team staff will carry a signature pen.

EDG everyone laughed as they kept writing their names on the blue and white short-sleeved shirt on the street.

Well, this is the C9 jersey.

In last year's group stage, EDG also played against C9.

"I don't know if I can meet C9 again this year." Sister Buckle said with some nostalgia.

If last year's C9 was still a strong opponent for EDG, then this year's same team is likely to be a point baby after encountering it.

After signing the meiko on the clothes, the assistant of the college student team on the side of the sister buttoned the grass inquired, and threw the blue and white short sleeves towards the audience seat on the other side, while constantly shouting:

"Hey, Rifle, Cine!"

"Hey, Wangte, Mitte, Chenai!"

Because the voice was very noisy, the audience member who received the signed uniforms did not hear what was being shouted by Tian Ye.

He looked at the clothes covered with the signatures of EDG players, and his heart was full of joy.

After putting it back on, the fan gave a crazy thumbs up to the EDG crowd!

“good！”

“good！”

After causing a small commotion, the Riot crew also quickly arrived at the scene.

After persuading the audience, coupled with the host in front of him coming out and announcing that the second day of the knockout stage of the group stage was about to begin, the audience gradually returned to calm.

"I didn't expect it to be so enthusiastic."

"Fortunately, there were only 800 people on site."

"If there were more people, I wouldn't dare to imagine it."

Tian Ye said, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth and eyes were full of smiles.

Last year's Worlds was much more enthusiastic than this year, but it was in the domestic competition.

Now in the Great Cold Netherworld, there is still so much audience support, and his emotions are really greatly satisfied.

……

"Samsung plays DFM, this game is really interesting!"

"I really don't know what Taijun will do if he wins the stick, and what will happen to the audience."

The DFM team is from LJL, which means that they have a good life

Although Samsung is only a qualifying team in the LCK region, its strength is much stronger than many group stage teams.

therefore

This game can even be said to be without suspense.

"Boss Ann didn't start."

Looking at the Samsung team players who walked out in front of him in turn, Jiang Zhun had some differences.

Recently, he has been a little obsessed with playing Rank, and the playing style of most of the teams in the play-in tournament is not to explore the World Championship version of 8.19, but to maintain 8.17 or 8.18, which are relatively close to the World Championship version, and there is no high research value.

As a result, he didn't pay much attention to the Play-In Tournament until today.

This year's three-star team maintains the original team of last year.

However, Jiang Zhun found that the player in the jungler position was not the head of An at last year's World Championships, but a relatively new face, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Boss Ann?"

"He's been watching the water cooler with a baseball bat lately."

The factory director said a little teasingly: "Actually, everyone is the same on DFM." ”

In this match, the jungler on the Samsung team is called Haru.

The individual operation is very strong, and likes to play carnivorous jungler.

However, there is no big picture, and it is easy to make mistakes in the middle and late stages.

Of course, this is only relative to the strong team, and Haru is definitely enough when playing the weak team.

Because in the eyes of almost everyone, DFM can survive half an hour in the hands of the Samsung team is a victory.

"Samsung's best point now should be Ruler, right?"

After listening to the factory director's introduction to the Samsung team, Jiang Zhun also had a general understanding.

Autumn withered, last season was still the world's T0 ranks, but this season due to the change in the ecology of the road, coupled with personal status, has been lost to everyone.

The mid-laner Ha Han commented on Zeyuan's idol crown, which is still the same as last year's World Championships, a bastard.

As for the auxiliary buckle JJ, his status has also declined.

However, he is currently the second-best player in the Samsung team compared to last season's performance!

In the summer and playoffs, it can be said that the deduction of JJ is decent, and all the things that should be done have been done, that is, compared to the S7 World Championship, there are a lot less perfect teams.

"Evi?"

"I'm impressed!"

While Jiang Zhun and the factory director were still talking, DFM players also began to enter.

The first person to appear in everyone's sight was an acquaintance at the Asian Games.

Jiang Zhun still remembers the appearance of the other party wearing a pain mask after being beaten through the string by himself twice in a row in the qualifiers.

"Evi Dazuo has a program effect."

"He's also one of the most carrying points in DFM."
