Chapter 296: 3-0, advance to the upper bracket! The next opponent, your name is GRF Griffin?
"Although I was quite mentally prepared before today's game."
"But when the JDG team, the runner-up of the spring tournament in our LPL region, was really swept 3-0 by the G2 team in this BO5 match, I still had a little difficulty accepting this painful result."
"If the JDG team lost the first game because Levi didn't start for too long, and Vietnam put some pressure on his performance at home, then the two games we lost after Flawless came off the bench are a real proof of the difference in quality between the two teams."
On the LPL commentary seat, when Doll Miller and the others saw the JDG team's base crystal being easily pushed by the G2 team for the third time, their tone was immediately filled with deep powerlessness and uneasiness.
After all, looking at tonight's three games, in front of the world champion G2 team, the JDG team was really beaten to the point that they had no power to fight back, and all three games were like this!
"Although it is very uncomfortable, we still have to congratulate the G2 team for successfully defeating JDG team with a score of 3-0 in tonight's BO5 win and defeat group and advancing to the second round of the upper bracket of this MSI."
"However, the JDG team will not end their journey in this tournament here, after falling into the lower bracket, as long as the JDG team adjusts well enough and learns fast enough, then they still have a chance to come back from the lower bracket."
"That's the beauty of a double-elimination format!"
After congratulating the G2 team without tears, the doll said very hard, because he knew very well that in the double-elimination system, if you fall into the lower bracket in the first round, you want to wear a few more in the lower bracket and then fight all the way back, the difficulty is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky.
But despite this, the two LPL commentators must still retain confidence in the JDG team, after all, only the JDG team, the LPL runner-up, can go further in the lower bracket, in order to prove the strength of the LPL champion IG team!
And as long as the IG team can win their opponents, it means that this year is indeed the most promising year in the LPL region!
"I hope that through this BO5, JDG team and IG team can learn some game experience and operation methods."
"Especially the IG team, looking at today's three games, a large part of the JDG team's loss is due to the lack of personal strength, but in terms of personal strength, the IG team is definitely worthy of the G2 team, which can be seen from last year's S8 finals."
"And if Team IG can do a better job of running the game while maintaining a ferocious fighting style, then we still have a good chance of beating Team G2!"
While looking at the G2 team that had already begun to celebrate the victory, Miller said very "modestly".
Although the content and tone still sound so unconvincing, compared to their rhetoric after losing the game in the past two years, Doll Miller's attitude towards the G2 team at this time is already very modest.
After all, they are not modest and can't do it, for two years, when all LPL teams faced the G2 team, except for last year's IG team, which won a small game of the G2 team, all the other games, the G2 team won all the games without exception!
"If Team IG can beat Team OG, the second seed in the LEC region, in the match the day after tomorrow, then I believe they will have a very good chance of beating Team G2."
"So I hope that the IG team can prepare well in these two days of preparation, and then bring a big victory to our LPL region!"
"Finally, congratulations to the G2 team for advancing to the second round of the upper bracket, and I hope that the JDG team can continue to work hard in the next competitions."
The doll took Miller's words and said expectantly.
At the same time, all G2 members, who simply celebrated the victory of the game, finally lined up to arrive at the JDG team's seat.
So next, it was time for Dark's favorite post-game handshake, but because Dark didn't know the JDG team very well, he only interacted with toothpaste.
"Toothpaste, how's it going, 3 to 0, do you still like the MSI welcome gift I prepared for you?"
Dark asked with a smile as he shook hands with toothpaste.
"Like a der, you're too ruthless, and you're still staring at me to kill?"
"You wait for me, when I come back from the loser's group, I will definitely teach you to be a man at that time!"
Toothpaste smiled, but said in a very unconvinced tone.
"Haha, okay, then I can only wait for you in the finals, I hope you don't break your promise when the time comes."
Dark laughed at the toothpaste's expression, then patted him on the shoulder in encouragement.
After all, if the JDG team can really make it back to the finals from the lower bracket, it means that they have eliminated IG team, SKT team, GRF team and other strong teams in a row along the way!
"Don't worry, I will never break my word, I will take revenge in the finals!"
"Wait for me to die!"
Toothpaste once again offered his mantra of "wait for me to die", and then blessed Dark, after all, as Dark's good brother, he naturally hopes that the G2 team can make it all the way to the finals!
After the handshake, all G2 members walked to the center of the stage and bowed in thanks.
In the post-match interview, Dark was once again invited to appear on the live stage.
This scene instantly made all LPL fans nervous, because in their cognition, every time the G2 team defeated their LPL team, Dark would do everything possible to mock the LPL region in the post-game interview, making the LPL region shameful in front of the world.
But this time, to the great surprise of all LPL fans, Dark in the post-game interview, let alone mocking the LPL division, didn't even mention the three letters "LPL"!
As a result, the fans in the LPL region are even more uncomfortable, at this obviously gratifying moment!
Because if Dark continues to mock the LPL region as always, it means that in his mind, the LPL region still has a "pivotal" status.
But now, Dark's attitude towards the LPL region has turned into ignorance, just like the four major regions ignore the wild card!
This shows that after slaughtering the LPL region for two years in a row, in Dark's mind, the LPL region has become a real garbage division that can no longer pose any threat to him, or even cause him any psychological fluctuations!
Does anyone care about a pile of garbage?
No!
Does Dark still care about the LPL region?
Neither will it be!
This feeling made all LPL fans so uncomfortable and uncomfortable that when the post-game interview belonging to Dark ended, when Dark obviously didn't taunt them, they became angry first!
"Damn, why is this Dark directly ignoring our LPL division this year?"
"Although the JDG team is indeed not the opponent of the G2 team, there is still an IG team in our LPL division!"
"It's only been half a year, and the G2 team has forgotten that the IG team won their small game in the S8 finals, and has they forgotten the horror of the Theshy River Sword Demon?"
"Okay, well, dare to ignore our LPL division, right? Wait, when the IG team also reaches the upper bracket finals, when the time comes, the IG team will definitely make your G2 team look good! ”
"This year's IG team is stronger than last year, as long as IG wins G2 in two days, I want to see if this Dark dares to ignore our LPL region again!"
On the neck, when the first day of the 2019MSI competition ended, LPL fans once again angrily rushed to the G2 team and yelled at the Dark players.
But this year, the reason why they slammed the Dark players was no longer the Dark players mocking them, but the Dark players ignoring them.
Such a change really made Dark, who brushed his neck for a while on the way back, cry and laugh.
"I used to taunt you in the LPL division and you scolded me, but now I don't scold you in the LPL division, but you still scold me?"
"Do these LPL fans have more or less problems in their brains? Do they really think that they are the center of the whole world, and even the whole universe, and I have to revolve around them, right? ”
Dark sneered, and his contempt for the LPL region deepened because of this.
After all, for him, the LPL division is not only a garbage competition area that can never win the championship, but also a grasshopper who only knows how to jump but has no days to live!
Instead of continuing to entangle with this garbage division, it is better to spend more time on training, and it is better to establish the dynasty hegemony of their G2 team through the results of the MSI triple championship and the World Championship triple championship, and prove that he Dark is the real world number one in the League of Legends project!
So, in the face of the crazy Aite of the majority of LPL fans on the scarf as if they had lost their minds and gone crazy, Dark not only did not make any response, but seemed to have disappeared completely.
But if any attentive netizens can check the training accounts of Dark and G2 players, they will immediately find that they have already invested in a new round of training on the night they won against the JDG team!
……
LPL fans didn't get any response from Dark, so they had to focus on the next MSI match.
The next day, May 11th, the second win-loss bracket match of the top half of the MSI was played between the first seed TL team in the LCS and the second seed GRF team in the LCK.
Before the game, all the spectators thought that today's match was a BO5 game where the TL team was crushed, after all, every time the Doublelift big brother player entered the World Championship, his team's performance would be very stretched.
But this year, things really seem to be different.
In the case that the TL team has the top laner Impact Damu, the jungler Xmithie, the mid laner Jensen Jian Huang, the bottom lane Doublelift senior brother, and the auxiliary CoreJJ players, compared with the LCS teams of previous years, the strength of the TL team this year has indeed reached the level of "Shibei three days should be impressed".
But it's a pity that today's opponent is the GRF team, but before the game, ESPN was evaluated as the No. 1 team in the world in hard power!
So, even though the TL team and the GRF team fought for five games, they still missed the game and lost to the GRF team with a score of 2-3, and while seeing the GRF team advance to the second round of the upper bracket, they also fell into the lower bracket.
As for Dark, while he regretted the loss of the TL team, he was pleasantly surprised by the GRF team's victory.
Because this means that in the next round of the G2 team and the GRF team, he finally got a great opportunity to teach the jungler named Tazan who feels "average"!
On the third day, May 12th, the first win-loss group match in the lower half of the MSI was finally officially played between the LCK No. 1 seed Team SKT and the PCS No. 1 seed FW team.
After a dismal record of being out of the S8 World Championship group last year, the SKT team, which entered MSI again after two years, chose to reorganize the team around the mid-laner Faker players this year, consisting of Khan Khan in the top laner, Clid/Haru in the jungler, Faker in the mid laner, Teddy in the bottom lane, and Mata in the support lane.
However, when facing the FW Flash Wolves, known as the killer of the LCK, the reorganized SKT team still had a little difficulty in winning the game, but fortunately, they still defeated the FW team with a score of 3-1 and advanced to the second round of the upper bracket.
On the fourth day, May 13, the second win-loss group match in the lower half of the MSI region, and the last BO5 match in the quarterfinals, finally started between the LPL No. 1 seed IG team and the LEC No. 2 seed OG team.
In the anticipation of all LPL fans, the IG team also successfully lived up to expectations, directly bloodied the OG team with a score of 3-0, and successfully advanced to the second round of the upper bracket.
And when the IG team won, all LPL fans were instantly ecstatic and shouted the slogan "This year is the most promising year in the LPL region" again!
The reason for such confidence is very simple, and that is that OG is 3-0 against G2 and 3-0 against IG.
So this means that the IG team has at least the same strength as the G2 team!
If the IG team has a chance to meet the G2 team in the subsequent matches, then as long as they play better than in the S8 finals last year, then the ending of the IG team representing the LPL region and the G2 team will no longer be a dream, but a fact!
"It would be uncomfortable if Team IG didn't meet Team G2 this year, after all, Team G2 will play Team GRF in the second round of the Upper Bracket tomorrow, and it would be a shame if Team G2 accidentally lost to Team GRF."
"Yes, the GRF team is still very strong, and before the LCK Spring Finals, the GRF team is the real LCK No. 1! So the G2 team really can't win against the GRF team! ”
"Especially the game in the wild area, I have seen the game of Tazan, and he played quite well, which can be called the existence of the only file in the LCK, plus he said before that the Dark player is very average, which shows that he is very confident, even in the face of Dark, he is not afraid at all."
"Haha, it would be great if Tazan could really make Dark deflated in the jungle, and then I would directly become a ten-year fan of the GRF team!"
"It's not brothers, no kidding, it's really possible for Team GRF to beat Team G2!"
"Top single Sword Emperor, LCK's new first top laner."
"Jungler Tarzan, the new No. 1 jungler in the LCK."
"Mid-laner Chovy, LCK's new No. 1 mid-laner, is even more fierce than Brother Li, especially the level of supplemental knives, which is absolutely invincible in the world!"
"The lower lane Viper, the new No. 1 adc in the LCK, has a particularly fierce style of play, and it is absolutely impossible for Ah P to bear it."
"Auxiliary Lehends, the new first assistant in the LCK, is also very strong in the ability to wander around the group, at least a whole level stronger than Hi Send!"
"That's why ESPN ranked the overall strength of the GRF team in the first place in MSI before the game, and I really can't think of how the G2 team can win against such a strong Griffin team!"
"It would be a shame if the G2 team really fell into the lower bracket, originally we IG wanted to touch G2 in the upper bracket finals, but now it seems that there is not much chance."
"As for whether the G2 team can climb out of the lower bracket...... I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, after all, even if they are lucky enough to make it to the lower bracket finals in one go, they will have to play Griffin again! ”
"Hahaha, this script is good, but why do you beat the beater's group first and then the winner's group tomorrow? I can't wait to see Team Griffin blast G2! ”
With the end of the group stage of the four quarter-winning teams, the matchups for the second round of the double-elimination tournament have also been officially released.
In the upper half of the upper bracket, G2 will play GRF and IG will play SKT in the bottom half.
In the upper half of the lower bracket, Team JDG will play Team TL, and Team OG will play Team FW in the bottom half.
And when they saw this matchup list, all LPL fans instantly became ecstatic, because in their opinion, the team that is the first to break the myth of the G2 dynasty is actually not their IG team, but the GRF team!
Because of the "legendary experience" of the GRF team, as well as all kinds of media publicity before the game, both the audience in the LPL region and the audience in the LCK region unanimously agreed that the GRF team is very likely to become the first team to defeat G2 in the past two years!
It's a pity that, as some LPL fans said, the focus of the G2 team vs. the GRF team was not the first game on May 14, but the second game with higher ratings.
So, just as you have to watch a long commercial before watching a TV series, viewers around the world must also watch a second round of the lower bracket between JDG and TL before watching the second round of the upper bracket.
This match is meaningless for the audience in the LEC and LCK regions, after all, it doesn't matter who they are eliminated.
But for the audience in the LPL and LCS regions, this game is actually a key battle, after all, none of them want their teams to play only two BO5s in this MSI competition and go home.
Especially the fans of the LPL region, because in their opinion, the JDG team, as the runner-up of the LPL, will be able to easily crush the TL team even if it can't beat the LEC champion G2 team.
What all LPL fans never expected was that although this BO5 game was indeed a crushing game, it was not the TL team that was crushed, but the JDG team!
0 to 3!
The JDG team, which is the runner-up of the LPL, didn't even win a small game, so they left this MSI with a final record of 0-6 in disgrace!
