Chapter 483: Autumn trip to Busan
"KTX is about to arrive at Platform 4 of Busan Station."
KTX is the high-speed rail of the Great Cold Underworld.
After the group stage of Group A was played yesterday, EDG people bought KTX tickets from Gwangju to Gosong to Busan overnight.
The high-speed rail of the Great Cold Underworld was opened in 2004, so even if it is a special class, the experience is far less than that of the first class seats in China.
Since it was necessary to transfer from the KTX Hunan Line to the entire Qingqing Line, it actually took nearly three hours before and after the original two-and-a-half-hour drive.
"It's less than 200 kilometers, and it took almost three hours." Mala Xiangguo carried his suitcase, pressed the cap and complained: "It's better to take the bus directly!" ”
Generally speaking, during the World Championship, each team will move to each city according to the unified arrangement of Riot.
After he took off his headphones, his eyes naturally looked at the large advertising screen above the LED screen of the taxi meter in front of him.
The factory director patted his head and hurriedly turned on the mobile phone live broadcast.
"If he can hold on to the knockouts, I can only say that this autumn will be a bit of an anomaly."
Group A: Team 1, Team 1, Team C9
Group B: 1st RNG team, 2nd 3rd team
Bang slowly presented the note in his hand in front of the camera.
After all, the performance of the KT team and the AFs team in the summer playoffs can be said to be a disconnected existence.
The final match of Group D is a showdown between Afs and FNC.
However, due to changes to this year's group stage schedule, Riot allowed the teams that made the cut to travel to Busan early at their own expense.
I saw that an old goat's benchmark appeared.
Fortunately, FNC did not play abnormally in the game, and still defeated AFS relatively easily, and confirmed the top spot in the group.
“G2!”
"Today, after everyone went to the base to study the group stage of Group B, let's take a half-day vacation."
Abu said and laughed, and the others couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard it.
Referring to the retirement time of other game esports players, Mala Xiangguo knows that he may have to say goodbye to the game after playing for two years at most.
At the same time, there was a brief silence in the room where the RNG people were.
With the League of Legends World Championship being held in the Great Chill Underworld, flights to this side are now hard to come by.
"Be considerate and considerate."
However, none of the RNG people who watched the draw ceremony wanted to draw this IG team.
It's a complete grind.
And the barrage in the LPL's official live broadcast room is also constantly refreshing:
"Uh, autumn is here."
"Let's go to the knockout round and see how Xiaohu performs."
“G2!”
Two days later, the second round of Group D was completed, and the group stage was completely over.
This directly affected the rank of the players.
[Hehe, I know that EDG, RNG, and IG can all enter the knockout round, and this year is the most promising year for our LPL to win the championship! 】
"It was good weather for a stroll.
"How is it different from what I imagined?" After the factory director entered the live broadcast room of the League of Legends event World Championship, he was a little disappointed.
Obviously, everyone at EDG doesn't have much psychological pressure.
If FNC wins the match, they will qualify with the same name.
He was born in '96 and is 22 years old this year.
Walking out of the high-speed rail station, EDG's training team had already arranged for the vehicle to wait.
Now I can go to Busan in advance and work with Riot's photographer to shoot the materials needed for the knockout video, so I can prepare wholeheartedly.
"The perfect time to enjoy the autumn leaves will come next week."
Winning the championship last year, EDG returned a big mouthful of blood.
The audience at the scene all folded their hands and prayed silently, not to be a three-star team.
While other teams were still suffering from the group stage, EDG was able to review and discuss the next knockout rounds in the training base.
Of course, the RNG crowd didn't celebrate for long, and they quickly turned their attention back to the TV in front of them.
【……】
The factory director subconsciously shrugged his shoulders, and then said inexplicably:
"Autumn is here, it's time for the little tiger to wither, according to the law, Cuvee should be on the edges, right?"
Even if the results of the draw for the knockout round have not yet come out, as long as you are well prepared, you should not have to worry about the overall strength of EDG.
RNG's match with Samsung has come to an end.
"The next World Championship will be held in the Great Cold Netherworld, I don't know when it will be."
[Draw a C9 or G2, so that RNG can enter the semi-finals again!] 】
……
In the whole room, in addition to the sound of air conditioning and air supply, only the players whispered the voices of the two European and American teams.
"Luck is also part of strength!"
Seeing this, Xiaohu's smile immediately bloomed.
"The blue sea and autumn foliage make Busan unique."
In this way, EDG can train with peace of mind after playing the group stage, and the time has a lot of advantages over the BCD team.
For them, as long as the RNG is not drawn IG, it is a good sign.
"The top four are here!"
Abu was very satisfied with this.
In addition, whether it is the playoffs of the spring game or the playoffs of the summer game, the RNG team played a full BO5 with the IG team, and finally won the game with a record of 3:2.
Obviously, the KTX gave him a bad ride, which caused him to feel a little uncomfortable.
Guan Zeyuan, who was commenting on the scene, remembered the fastest stream, and they knew the lottery results for the first time, and couldn't help but shout.
Kasa also couldn't help but celebrate with Shi Senming, Gesture and others.
“G2!!”
"Skip class on Friday afternoon, take a leave off on Monday morning, don't you go abroad casually for four days?"
"In this way, the temperature has dropped really quickly in the past few days, and it is a little chilly in the morning and evening, and it is difficult to put on without a coat."
"There's no time off after that."
And Jiang Jian asked with a smile: "How is Xiaohu's record?" ”
That's right, he was the guest of the knockout draw.
With many years of experience leading a team, he knows that sometimes the quality of logistics can have a direct impact on a team's results.
Not to mention, there are some countries that are still visa-free.
"Their high-speed rail has been under construction since the last century, and even the latest line has been around for 14 years."
"4-0-7, that's good."
“C9!”
It's just that what makes everyone more distressed is that there are some problems with the network of the house.
It was quite unexpected.
Then he recalled the fiery red red leaf forest in the video screen, and the average temperature of 24 degrees in the coming week, he came back to his senses, Jiang Zhun was not sentimental or anything, but translated the hostess's words to him.
Between 7:00 and 12:00 p.m., the network fluctuates greatly.
"Samsung doesn't even want to defend the tower."
Fortunately, after the D group came to Busan, RNG could join the hotel floor that Riot had taken over.
But the next moment, Uzi directly twisted the chair under him and applauded happily.
"Smoke C9 or G2, don't give us IG!"
"RNG's opponent in the knockout round will be G2, the third seed from the European region!"
[What the hell, why are there only two Great Cold Netherworld teams this year, and Europe and the United States can enter three?! 】
It's not that they don't want to meet teams in the LPL region, but the IG team has shown that they are the strongest team in the second place team.
The RNG crowd didn't feel sorry for the AFS team being eliminated, and their attention was all on Bang at the moment.
In the anticipation of countless people, the opponent of the RNG knockout tournament has finally been revealed.
[I'm laughing to death, the No. 1 seed and No. 2 seed in the North American region are all rolled up and left, but the No. 3 C9 has persevered. 】
After all, it's about the results of the World Races!
"The second round of RNG and Samsung should begin."
The qualifying teams of each group are determined:
"The temperature is not high or low."
"That's an exaggeration."
Otherwise, if this situation continues for a while, there is really no guarantee that Uzi will go crazy.
"In metaphysical terms, it is true." Jiang Zhun couldn't help but smile.
Because of this small ball, it is determined which team RNG will face in the knockout round.
"It's weird, autumn has arrived."
This is the exact words of an EDG college student fan.
"The only thing to be careful about is not to eat anything outside."
"If any of you were hospitalized because of eating a bowl of beef noodles, and then affecting the team's results, I would really be mad."
"I'm still looking forward to withering and branching."
“C9!”
[Not worse than RNG?] So why did RNG6-0 qualify first in the group, and your IG can only qualify second in the group? 】
Seeing Bang unscrew the ball in his hand on the screen, and then pulled out the note with the team's logo printed on it and covered it with his hand to take a look at it in advance, everyone in RNG couldn't help but get nervous.
Jiang Zhun's attention was not focused on the communication between Mala Xiangguo and Abu.
As she said, it's really a good season to visit.
The director was disappointed.
Coach Heart was equally happy.
Of course, if the team doesn't want to pay for it themselves, they can wait for the group D group stage to be played and take the bus arranged by Fist.
Because, the team that IG team and EDG team will fight in the end has not yet been decided!
At the moment, the billboard is not playing an advertisement, but a female host is promoting Busan.
[Hey, let Samsung get away with it, if you don't meet in the group stage, there will be no avoidance principle in the same group, so that according to the order of the draw just now, our RNG opponent is Samsung]
"Everyone can play casually if they want to, Busan is close to the sea, and the scenery is still good."
When they took the high-speed train just now, Jiang Zhun and others even met many international students and domestic special forces college students.
"Steady!" Guan Zeyuan shouted.
"How's your autumn going?"
"Aren't we going to slap the material with our fists tomorrow?"
It's not just about the LPL league.
"Yes." The spicy incense pot shook his head.
Although Jiang Zhun knows Korean, but after all, it has been useless for too long, and he can listen to the general meaning of the hostess's words, and if he repeats the original words, it will be quite difficult.
In the face of Jiang Zhun's streamlined induction, the factory director was also stunned.
If Afs wins, IG, FNC, and AFs will have exactly the same record, and Group D will play a play-off.
Group C: Team 1, Team 1, Team 2, Team G2
Group D: 1st FNC team, 2nd IG team
After learning that the EDG club had rented a training base at its own expense, the RNG club was not willing to be worse than the other party, and also rented a house for training next to the hotel arranged by Riot in Busan.
Jiang Jian continued: "Normal and normal, the hostess just said that next week is the best time to see the autumn leaves." ”
It's just that the two didn't make too much noise.
Abu is in a good mood because EDG qualified with six consecutive wins from the first place in the group!
"Let's just experience the local culture!"
"KT will face the opponent"
Therefore, RNG does not want its knockout opponent to be IG.
In addition, EDG is not the same as the WE team that needs to eat after the game, and the wealthy Edju endured the price of a glass of wine, so that the club's training team could find a training base in Busan in advance.
[Hehe, the royal miscellaneous are a little funny, I watched the group stage game, IG is not worse than RNG, okay! ] 】
Uzi didn't show much interest in his old rival, who had beaten him more than once at Worlds, and instead focused on the ball in his hand.
Pigeon pigeon, pigeon pigeon
Twisting his neck, the spine of the spicy incense pot made a crisp sound.
[EDG and RNG are already in the two halves, and if they don't meet before the finals, it doesn't matter if the IG team will fight a civil war. 】
Moreover, since the knockout rounds and semi-finals are all held in Busan, EDG rents the training venue for half a month!
"You can see the red leaves that have dotted the whole city."
Compared to these two teams, the three-star team should be the one that was eliminated.
"What is she talking about?"
The factory director still continued to play stalks.
Although in the league this year, the RNG team defeated the IG team except for the IG team in their debut in the spring game, and the rest of the teams, whether they were Bo3 or Bo5, all defeated the IG team.
But the reality is so cruel, the AFS team, which is stronger than the Samsung team, can only go home in place in the top 16 because of the draw and grouping.
While raising his hands, Xiaohu observed that Uzi, who was drinking fruit tea, did not make any movements.
AFS is also the first team to be eliminated from the host LCK region.
It took only 26 minutes for RNG to bulldoze Samsung's three-way heights.
Also, as long as you get a visa in advance, it's OK.
"A big dragon directly gets the economy of 6,100 yuan?"
"One thing to say, these plastic surgery faces look really good with watery skin." The factory director didn't know when he stood by Jiang Zhun's side, and followed Jiang Zhun's gaze to focus on the hostess.
Xiaohu's reaction speed was very fast, and after seeing the G2 logo, he danced immediately, and at the same time, Casa, who was sitting next to him, also showed a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.
Two years
The dimensions are so short that it is obvious that it is impossible for Riot to hold the S9 and S10 Worlds in the Great Cold Netherworld.
"Now in this era of technological explosion. The version is updated too quickly. ”
Bang picked up another ball.
After hesitating for half a second, he quietly put his hands on his legs.
After all, AFS is already out of the group stage.
If the knockout round is allowed to fight in the LCK region, then there will only be one lone seed left in the top four LCKs this year.
The probability of winning the championship is too low and too low!
