Chapter 330: Reaching the Final Four Is Considered a Success? Then let your left hand feel the fear of being dominated by Dark!
When Team JT's name appears after Team TL's name, the draw was a symbolic draw of the ball despite the fact that only the last ball was left in the No. 4 seed pool, and the note inside the ball was officially displayed in front of the camera.
TES Team!
As a result, all the fans of the TES team, as well as the majority of LPL fans, are the last thing they want to see happen.
That is, as the fourth seed TES team in the LPL region, they really want to directly challenge the defending champion G2 team in the first round of the Swiss round of the S9 World Championship!
So much so that for a while, all the LPL viewers were a little nervous.
"Wow, is the draw of this Swiss round so exciting? The No. 4 seed played the World Champion directly in the first game, which is not appropriate to wait for abuse? ”
"I thought that under the rules of the Swiss round, the four teams in our LPL region would have a chance to advance to the second round with a score of 1-0, but I didn't expect the TES team to be beaten as a blow when they came up!"
"What kind of stinky hand is this draw guest, can't you draw the JT team to the G2 team and the TES team to the TL team? There must be a hand in playing North America than Knight9, but playing the king Caps, I'm really afraid that the golden left hand will be beaten into a golden coward. ”
"Afraid of what? Isn't this the best chance for the left hand to prove himself? Even if the TES team loses this game, as long as the left hand wins the Caps on the line, it means that the strength of the left hand is the top in the world, and he is the strongest domestic midlaner! ”
"Win on the line? Come on, Dark doesn't eat dry food, he will definitely target the left hand, although both of them are from Pingxiang, but when Dark is a fellow countryman, he is really ruthless! ”
"No wonder Toothpaste didn't make it to the World Championship this year, it turns out that he was scared by Dark, so he didn't dare to come!"
When the draw results of the No. 1 seed and No. 4 seed were locked, countless LPL fans cried and laughed.
Although he said that he hoped that the Knight9 players could play in the next game and play their worth, they knew very well in their hearts that it would be very difficult to do so.
After all, among the five members of the TES team, except for the Knight9 players, who may not be much different from Caps in terms of hard power, the opposing strength of the other four positions is basically very different!
Therefore, the only thing that LPL fans hope for at this time is that the TES team will not lose so quickly by then, and it would be great if they could delay until 30 minutes after the game time.
In the helpless mood of the majority of LPL fans, the draw of the second seed and the third seed also ended soon.
Team RGE has selected Team DWG as their first-round opponent.
Team GRF has selected Team GAM as their first-round opponent.
The FNC team has selected the IG team as their first-round opponent.
The RNG team has selected the S04 team as their first-round opponent.
And when the results of this draw came out, the most defense-breaking fan group was the IG team.
Because they never expected that the luck of the IG team would be so poor, and they directly drew the strongest FNC team in the second seed, and at the same time, they never expected that the luck of the RNG team would be so good, and they would draw the weakest S04 team among the third seeds!
This made the fans of the IG team break the defense on the spot, and they all scolded the "unfairness" of the Swiss round draw.
But for the fans of the RNG team, they were smiling and saying that "luck is also part of strength", but they breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
Because after determining the opponent in the first round of the Swiss round, it means that they have a high probability of getting a good start to the Swiss round and successfully advancing to the 1-0 group!
At this point, the quarterfinals of the first round of the Swiss round of the S9 World Championship have all been determined.
Team SKT vs. Team AHQ.
Team TL vs. Team JT.
Team FPX vs. Team C9.
Team G2 vs. Team TES.
RNG Team vs. S04 Team.
FNC team vs IG team.
Team RGE vs. Team DWG.
Team GRF vs. Team GAM.
……
"Hahahaha, left hand, I didn't expect you kid to have today!"
"It's your turn to feel the fear of being dominated by Dark this year, hahahaha!"
At the end of the lottery ceremony, Dark's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when I picked it up, the person who sent the message was the toothpaste in the "Pingxiang Sanjie" group chat!
"Brother Rui, you must be merciful, it's better not to come to the mid laner, just let me and Caps slowly make up for the knife in the mid laner, okay?"
The left hand is obviously also watching the live broadcast of the lottery, otherwise he would not have responded to the toothpaste's Aite in the first place.
It's just that Dark, who saw the two of them talking, really couldn't cry or laugh, so he immediately typed out.
"That's not good, this year is your first time in the World Championships, and I have to give you a good welcome ceremony."
"Didn't you change your ID to Knight9 this year? Then I shouldn't be too much to catch you 9 times, right? ”
Dark said with a smile, and suddenly made the left hand and the toothpaste make a scared expression at the same time, after all, they knew too well what Dark's so-called "welcome ceremony" was, it was really a welcome to death!
"It's a bit excessive, but it doesn't matter, just play normally, and it just gives me a sense of what it means to be a world champion and a world champion."
"And this year is the Swiss round, as long as you win three opponents to advance to the quarterfinals, so I don't panic, even if I lose to you in the first round, there should still be a better chance to play other teams in the future."
"Besides, my goal for this year is actually not high, as long as I can reach the semi-finals in the end, it will be considered a success!"
In the group chat, the left hand said with a confident smile, as if he thought that the "top four" was already a great achievement.
Although for Dark, he was a little uncomfortable with his left-handed speech, after all, from his point of view, the ultimate goal of any professional should be the championship.
But after thinking about it, I understood the idea of the left hand, after all, in this year's S9 Finals, I agreed with Faker to meet in the Finals, if the G2 team and the SKT team have already booked the qualification for the finals, then for the TES team, the semi-finals are indeed their limit!
"Haha, come on."
"Prepare well for the past two days, and try to cause us some trouble when the time comes."
Dark gave his left hand an ancestral thumbs-up emoji and ended the chat, then sat up straight and looked slowly to the front of the training room.
Because as soon as the draw ceremony ended, the G2 coach was ready for his next speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the opponents for the first round of the draw have come out, and the opponent we are going to play against is the fourth seed TES team in the LPL region."
"The overall strength of this team is not particularly strong, so it shouldn't be too difficult for us to win the first game."
"But it's not the first game, it's every game that follows!"
"Because under the rules of the Swiss round, the opponents we meet in each round are opponents with the same record as us, simply put, after we beat the TES team and get a 1-0 record, the opponents we meet in the second round will also be a 1-0 team, and the third round will be a 2-0 team."
"At the same time, when the opponents in each round are completely random, this makes it impossible for us to prepare for the next opponent in advance, and we can only make temporary targeted preparations after the end of each round of draws."
"But the effect of temporary preparation is not good enough, so in my opinion, we should still prepare a lot of tactics before the game, so that we can deal with all kinds of situations that arise at any time."
"In this way, our G2 team will have a chance to win all the games and advance to the quarterfinals, but the training volume will be relatively large and tiring."
"But even so, I hope you can grit your teeth and persevere, because if we want to win three in a row, we have to work harder than everyone else!"
"So, are you willing to do your best to compete for the final World Championship three times in a row?!"
As the G2 coach spoke, his tone suddenly became impassioned.
And under his drive, all G2 members are naturally enthusiastic and heroic!
"Of course I do!"
"If you don't win the triple crown, you won't be a man!"
"Let's let the other teams feel the fear of being dominated by our G2 team in the World Championship again!"
The G2 players were each waving their fists and throwing their voices to the ground, and their tones and eyes were full of conviction that they were determined to win.
So, with such a belief, all G2 members once again entered the preparation for the Swiss round.
The same is true for the other fifteen S9 World Championship teams, all of whom have to go all out in order to get their own starts, this final three-day preparation!
And in the anxious wait of the global League of Legends audience, October 12, 2019, the start day of the 2019 League of Legends World Championship, finally arrived!
If it was the Worlds of previous years, then this year's LEC region, as the host, will definitely arrange the opening match as a match between G2 and TES.
But it's a pity that this year's format is the Swiss round, and whether it is the order of play or the right to choose sides in the game, it is decided at the moment when the draw results are released.
As a result, in the midst of the great expectations of League of Legends viewers around the world, the first match of this year's S9 World Championship Swiss round can only be officially started between the SKT team and the AHQ team.
The result of the opening match was almost unassuming, although the AHQ team entered the World Championship again after many years, but in front of the MSI runner-up and the SKT team that won the LCK playoffs four times, the AHQ team was powerless at all.
1-0, the SKT team successfully advanced to the 1-0 group in the second round of the Swiss round, and at the same time, the AHQ team was not eliminated directly, but fell into the 0-1 group.
In the second match, the LCS Champion TL team played against the PCS champion JT team.
The attention of this game is not high, but the two teams play back and forth, and they are more anxious.
Fortunately, the TL team finally managed to defeat the JT team with a wave of team battle victories, otherwise the LT team would have become a shame in North America again.
The third game, FPX vs. C9, was the most watched match in the entire LPL region today.
Because in the case of waiting for the TES team to lose for a while, only the FPX team succeeds in winning the C9 team in this game, and they can barely bring a glimmer of hope to the LPL region.
But what makes all LPL fans extremely angry is that the FPX team's performance in this game is almost a world away from their 3-1 victory over the RNG team in the LPL Summer Finals to win the championship!
Not only did they lose to the C9 team in BP, but the state of the players in the game was even more eye-catching.
If it weren't for Jungler Tian successfully snatching a big dragon from the C9 team, otherwise the FPX team would have been flattened out of the base crystal before 25 minutes.
But even if Xiaotian grabbed a big dragon, he couldn't stop their decline at all, and he could only be helpless after 30 minutes of hard defense, and he was helplessly bulldozed by the C9 team to flatten the base crystal.
As a result, 0-1, the No. 1 seed FPX team in the LPL region lost to the LCS No. 2 seed C9 team and fell into the 0-1 group, losing the opportunity to win the Swiss round and advance on the spot.
But after the FPX team lost to the C9 team, all the LPL viewers showed a faint smile on their faces.
Again, their main goal in watching the S9 World Championship this year is to see with their own eyes how bad the LPL region can be compared to before.
And now, when the LPL champion can't beat the LCS runner-up, which is known as the North American fisherman, this year's S9 World Championship has already paid back at least half of the electricity and traffic fees!
……
"Good!"
"Welcome back to our 2019 League of Legends World Championship in front of the audience!"
"Hello everyone, I still remember your explanation today."
"Hello everyone, I'm Rita."
After the short advertising time ended, the live broadcast signal of the game was transmitted back to the LPL official commentary seat again, and then, I remember that the commentary partner of Rita and Rita appeared again, but the expressions on their faces were full of bitterness.
"Although I was in a bad mood, I still had to synchronize the battle situation of the last game to the audience friends who had just opened the live broadcast of the game."
"After 30 minutes of fierce battle, our FPX team, the champion of the LPL region, still lost to the C9 team after all, and failed to win the S9 World Championship."
I remember saying with regret that after all, the LCK champion SKT team and the LCS champion TL team were all successfully promoted, but when it came to the LPL champion, the FPX team actually played the first big upset of this World Championship!
"The main reason is that the players of the FPX team are in such a bad state, probably because of the time difference."
"But we don't need to be too nervous for the time being, after all, in the new Swiss round format, you only have to lose three games, and the last game has to lose a BO3 before you are eliminated."
"So as the FPX team of the LPL champion, I still believe that they can complete the adjustment as soon as possible and win it back in the subsequent games."
Rita smiled wryly and encouraged all LPL viewers, then changed the conversation to the upcoming match.
"But for us in the LPL region, the next game will also be very difficult."
"Because our TES team is going to be up against the defending champion G2 team!"
"The TES team shouldn't have a good chance of winning this match, but I still hope that they can play their own way against such a strong opponent as G2 and learn enough experience from Worlds."
Rita said in anticipation, nodding solemnly.
"Indeed, the TES team in this game is mainly about learning."
"Then while the players from both teams start to appear, I will also take the time to introduce to you the starting lineups of both teams in this game."
"First of all, the G2 team is already very familiar to the world's audience, top laner BrokenBlade, jungler Dark, mid laner Caps, bottom laner Perkz, support Hylissang."
"Then there is the TES team that our LPL audience is very familiar with, the top laner 369, the jungler Xx, the mid laner Knight9, the lower lane Loken, and the auxiliary Qiuqiu."
"Although in terms of overall hard power, the TES team is definitely inferior to the G2 team, but I think that if the five boys of the TES team can play the state of the S9 selection match and directly take out some strong heroes, then the TES team may still have a chance of one or two percent to achieve an upset."
"After all, you must know that the TES team was in the selection match, but it played with the IG team until the tiebreaker and lost with a score of 2-3."
"Then when the G2 team is completely unfamiliar with the TES team, a new team in the World Championship, the TES team really has a chance to punch and kill the master."
I remember saying with a smile while daydreaming, after all, he himself knew that this possibility was very small.
"It's true that the G2 team is not very familiar with the TES team, but the Dark players should still be very familiar with the Knight9 players, after all, the two of them are both Pingxiang fellows."
"If the Knight9 players can play exceptionally in this game, and the other teammates do not collapse on the line, the TES team may really have a chance to live, otherwise it will be very difficult for the TES team to face the G2 team."
Rita chuckled and shook her head, not thinking that Team TES could do wonders.
Because in her opinion, Dark is a "big devil" who does not allow any opponent to play any miracles on herself!
"It's really hard, but esports always has to dream."
"Then we see that the players from both teams are ready, let's move on to this BO1 match between G2 and TES!"
With the order of remembering, the BP of the fourth game of the first round of the Swiss round finally officially began.
Because G2 has a higher seeding order, they chose the blue side when they had the right to choose sides.
Kitty! Moteng! Akali!
The first three bans of the G2 team are not aimed at anyone, all of them are version bans, especially the hero of the cat, since it officially landed in the summoner's rift in version 9.10 this year, it has directly become a frequent visitor to the ban selection list.
Especially in the hands of professional support players, the hero of the cat can even become the seventh piece of equipment of the ADC!
Rosy clouds! Sindra! Enchantress!
On the other hand, the first three bans of the TES team are very targeted, not only banning Perkz's Kasumi and Caps's Enchantress, but also banning the hero Sindra who can swing in the hands of the two!
At this point, the first round of bans is over, and the first round of selection begins immediately.
