"Don't be RNG, don't be RNG, don't be RNG, don't be RNG......"

"Don't be SKT, don't be SKT, don't be SKT, don't be SKT......"

When the right hand of the draw guest slowly reached into the 3-2 seeded pool with only two balls remaining, not only the fans of the RNG team, but also the fans of the SKT team buried their heads in the same way, clenched their hands into fists, closed their eyes, and began their extremely nervous "pre-draw" prayers.

For no other reason, whether it is the RNG team or the SKT team, they really don't want to meet the defending champion G2 team again in the eight-in-four elimination round!

Although as a professional team, the championship is their ultimate goal, so even against the G2 team, they will have to do everything they can to win the game.

But the problem is that in the past matches with G2 teams, the two teams combined have not won even a single BO5 victory!

In other words, while fans of both teams are reluctant to admit it, if their home team is actually drawn out after a while......

That would be tantamount to announcing the end of this S9 World Championship in advance!

So, in the midst of the prayers of the fans of the two teams, the lottery guests finally drew a small ball, then opened it, and slowly unfolded the note inside, and then faced the camera......

RNG！

At this moment, the dust has settled!

Everyone never imagined that after a full year, the G2 team and the RNG team would meet again in the eight-in-four elimination stage!

The only difference is that the two teams are in the upper half of the zone has changed from the top half to the bottom half!

Airplanes......

At this moment, not only the fans of the RNG team, but even the players of the RNG team felt their brains buzzing.

Because the result of the lottery that they feared most and what they least wanted to see was actually happening again.

In contrast to the reaction of the RNG team, the SKT players and fans all breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing the results of the draw.

Because they really don't want to play BO5 with the G2 team anymore, at least until the S9 Finals.

As for the other party in this draw, it is also the G2 team, although before the draw results are released, Dark has told his teammates not to laugh no matter what lottery results they see.

But when they saw the icon of the RNG team and the icon of the G2 team next to each other again, there was still a series of chuckles in the training room of the G2 team.

It's just that everyone didn't dare to laugh so rampantly like last year's RNG team, so that everyone's expressions were suffocated at this time, and they finally returned to their normal state.

"Ahem Dark, I don't really like to laugh as a person, unless I really can't help it like this one."

"After all, who would have thought that we would be so talking, and the lottery guests would be so powerful, saying that RNG is RNG!"

Perkz, who reacted immediately, hurriedly explained to Dark, but the corners of his mouth were still rising wildly, and he couldn't hide the smile in his heart.

"It's okay, after all, after FNC is drawn, our opponent is either RNG or SKT, no matter who we meet again, it's normal."

"And I'm actually more inclined to play the RNG team in the quarterfinals, because we haven't played against the RNG team this year."

"If I don't beat the RNG team once a year, I always feel that this year is not perfect."

Seeing Perkz's smiling expression, Dark couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't want to see the reactions of the RNG team players in the first place.

I don't know if they're crying or silent at this time, but they can't be laughing like last year, right?

But what Dark didn't know and was disappointed was that the expressions of the RNG team players in the RNG team training room at this time were really laughing!

It's just that this smile is not last year's S8's arrogant smile, but this year's S9's bitter smile.

Because as Dark said before, the G2 team has become an eternal nightmare in the hearts of their RNG team, a mountain that they will never seem to be able to cross!

"Brothers, don't look so ugly, cheer up."

At this moment, in the silent RNG training room, the voice of the core Uzi player in the team suddenly sounded slowly.

"It's true that we didn't win when we played G2 before, but we have also summarized the reasons, in addition to the difference in strength, there was also a big problem with our previous mentality."

"But this year is different, after the lows of the spring and the grind of the summer, our RNG team has been back on its feet."

"In addition, we have been studying the G2 team for a whole year, so the next quarter-finals, whether it is mental, tactical, or our personal strength, will be the most promising ...... for us to beat the G2 team."

"No, it's a year we're sure to beat the G2 team!"

"There are still a few days to prepare for the quarterfinals, and as long as we prepare well, we will definitely be able to win G2, advance to the semi-finals, and then win the championship!"

Uzi gritted his teeth, his eyes were about to split, and he said loudly, exuding a kind of fighting momentum that would become a benevolent if he didn't succeed.

And when he said this, the RNG players, who had been a little desperate before, were finally ignited by Uzi's courage to win, and they slowly raised their heads one after another, and then shouted their own slogan together.

RNG, never give up!

And just as the players of the RNG team were fighting for themselves, the remaining draws of the lottery guests were finally completed.

The FPX team was drawn to the SKT team and was placed in the top half.

The IG team was drawn to the DWG team and was placed in the bottom half.

So far, with the end of the quarterfinals draw, the specific matchups of the quarterfinals of this S9 World Championship knockout tournament have finally been officially released!

In the first half, Team TL vs. Team FNC and Team FPX vs. Team SKT.

In the bottom half, G2 vs. RNG and IG vs. DWG.

And when they saw the results of this draw, almost all LPL fans instantly felt cold on the spot.

Because in their opinion, the result of this draw seems to be the LPL region balancing the luck explosion of the Swiss round.

Because the opponents encountered by the three LPL teams in the quarterfinals are all a little too strong!

There is no need to say much about the RNG team playing the G2 team, at least there is a 95% chance that they will not win.

The battle for the regional championship of the FPX team against the SKT team is also very worrying for LPL fans, after all, the LPL division has almost never won against the powerful SKT team.

The IG team plays the DWG team, which seems to be the one with the highest winning rate, but it is only relative, after all, the dark horse posture of the DWG team in this year's World Championship is clearly seen by everyone, and if the IG team has problems again, it is really hard to say whether they can win the DWG team.

But for the IG team, even if they pass the DWG team, the future is still uncertain, because after advancing to the semi-finals, the next opponent of the IG team will be the G2 team again!

……

"Shady, shady! This must be shady! Why can't we play TL if we RNG have to play G2 again? ”

"Shady der, if you have the ability, you can ask your RNG not to be 3-2, or simply don't enter the quarterfinals."

"It's shady! The quarterfinals of the three LPL teams this year are all so strong, what is it if it is not shady? ”

"It must be the official LEC ghost, in order to be angry for Dark, they directly arranged a script for all three LPL teams to go out of the quarterfinals, it's really grassy!"

"No, let's just say that there is a possibility, that is, all three teams in the LPL will advance to the semifinals? RNG aside, at least IG and FPX still have a chance to win DWG and SKT! ”

"Come on, it's useless for you to fantasize about it, this year is the most hopeless year for LPL! Sit back and wait for all members of the LPL team to stop in the quarterfinals, and completely open the second darkest era of LPL! ”

Although it was just a simple draw ceremony for the quarterfinals, the repercussions it brought were even greater than the TES team's stop in the round of 16.

After all, when the results of the lottery for the quarterfinals were released, LPL fans, who were very optimistic about the LPL region yesterday, were pessimistic about the LPL region today.

Because whether it is the G2 team or the SKT team, they are clearly the kings of their respective half-districts!

And if nothing else, the agreement between the G2 team and the SKT team to meet again in the S9 finals after the MSI finals will really come true!

"Damn, a bunch of cowards, the knockout rounds haven't started yet, so it's better to stop playing at the World Championship and award the championship trophy directly to the G2 team, or simply let the G2 and SKT teams play the finals directly."

"It's disgusting, you have already knelt down for the enemy before the battle has begun, are your bones too soft? If you want me to say, this year's G2 team and SKT team really can't be beaten! Because this year's World Edition is actually a mid-laner version, as long as the mid-laner is strong enough, you have a chance to win! ”

"Like, didn't you notice that this year's Worlds version was made for Doinb? I don't know about the other teams, but at least the FPX team will definitely make it to the top half and make it to the finals! ”

On the neck, when the draw ceremony for the S quarterfinals officially ended, countless LPL viewers have begun to look forward to the future S9 World Championship journey in the LPL region.

Either look at the decline or the bullishness, they all insist on their own words, and they are arguing.

But no matter how noisy the audience is, these off-court voices are inaudible to the big teams, after all, the most important thing they need to do now is to prepare for the upcoming eight-in-four knockout tournament!

However, before the knockout rounds officially begin, there is one more thing that all the top eight teams need to do, and that is to shift their positions.

With the Swiss round over, the LEC Auditorium and the Verti Concert Hall in Berlin, Germany, have all successfully completed their hosting tasks.

In the quarterfinals and semi-finals, the quarter-finalists will all need to travel to Palazzo Vista Allegre in Madrid, Spain.

The day after the Swiss round, the eight teams set off from Berlin and then moved on to the next competition venue to begin their intense preparations.

At the same time, the schedule of the four quarterfinals BO5 has finally been officially finalized.

On October 28th, Team FPX vs. Team SKT.

On October 29th, Team TL played against Team FNC.

On October 30th, Team G2 played against Team RNG.

On October 31st, Team IG played against Team DWG.

And when the schedule is finalized, there is only one thing left for all the League of Legends viewers around the world to do.

That's waiting!

Fortunately, when the calendar slowly tore from October 23rd to October 28th, the journey of the S9 World Championship knockout tournament finally kicked off!

The first quarter-final knockout match is a top priority for League of Legends viewers around the world.

Because although the audience didn't see the G2 team and SKT team start the final preview in the eighth and fourth stages, what they are about to see is a strong clash between the two regional champions, FPX team and SKT team!

At the same time, from another point of view, the victory of this game will also determine whether LPL is greater than LCK or LCK is greater than LPL today!

So, in the midst of the attention of everyone and the audience, this duel between the brave and the brave finally started tragically.

It's really quite tragic!

From the first game of BO5, the two teams staged a life-and-death game together.

So much so that in the process of winning and losing the game, the entire BO5 was dragged into the deciding game of the fifth game.

And in the final tiebreaker battle, although Faker's state was outrageous, and he played like a god helping one after another, no one expected that the five players on the FPX team's side would play like burning life at the same time!

Whether it's the top laner Gimgoon, the jungler Tian, the mid laner Doinb, the bottom laner LWX, or the support player Crisp, everyone's game state is directly full, and they have played a miraculous team battle several times!

As a result, in the FPX team's performance, no matter how hard the players of the SKT team tried their best to defend the line, they still fell in the FPX team's "brothers work together to break the gold" offensive.

"No one thought that no one would have thought that the SKT team, which was infinitely favored by the audience in various major regions around the world, would finally fall into the hands of our LPL champion FPX team!"

"Let's congratulate the FPX team for successfully defeating the SKT team with a score of 3-2 and advancing to the semi-finals of the S9 World Championship!"

"Who the hell is saying that the champion team in our LPL division is always an insider, an outsider? Today's FPX team is a strong counterattack to this ridiculous statement! ”

"Although tomorrow's match will not be played by our LPL team, we have reason to believe that after seeing the FPX team defeat the SKT team, the RNG team will also feel the unparalleled courage and belief to support their victory over the mighty G2 team!"

"Let's congratulate the FPX team again, and let us also wish the RNG team a miracle against G2!"

Looking at the entire LPL region, when the FPX team really "unbelievable" defeated the SKT team, all LPL fans were about to go crazy, as if it was the New Year, as if they had won the championship, they celebrated this hard-won victory to the fullest, and wantonly celebrated this "most promising year in the LPL".

And although there were no LPL teams in the second day's game, the joy of LPL fans did not diminish because of this, but became more and more vigorous.

The reason is very simple, that is, in today's match between the TL team and the FNC team, the FNC team also miraculously defeated the TL team with a score of 3-1 and advanced to the semifinals of the S9 World Championship!

So at this moment, the smiles on the faces of all LPL fans finally couldn't be suppressed anymore, because they seemed to have really seen the hope of the RNG team defeating the G2 team tomorrow!

"Good, good! Ok, good, good! This year is not only the most promising year for LPL, but also a year of upsets! ”

"The FPX team upset the SKT team, and the 3-2 FNC team beat the 3-0 TL team, so tomorrow, we have reason to believe that the RNG team will also be able to continue this upset rhythm, take revenge on G2, and advance to the semifinals!"

"I don't believe in metaphysics or anything, but I do think the RNG team really has a chance! Why did today's TL team lose, is it really that their strength is really not enough? No, it's because they haven't played in a long time! ”

"Since October 14th, the 3-0 TL team has finished their Swiss round of competition, and then entered a two-week offseason, but the FNC team has been playing until October 22nd, compared to the TL team's already cool game state, the FNC team can be said to be hot!"

"So tomorrow's G2 team must be the same, from October 14th to October 30th, they haven't played for 15 days, how can they win the RNG team that we also played on the last day of the Swiss round in terms of game form?!"

"Hahaha, I suddenly fell in love with this Swiss round format, which is a super invincible debuff for a 3-0 team!"

"G2 is really strong, but if you want me to say, if they don't play for two weeks in a row, when they play again, they won't even be able to operate the mouse and keyboard!"

"This is definitely an opportunity for the RNG team! Even if you win, it's a bit of a win, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can win against the G2 team, no one cares about the process! ”

"Ness! Three years, three years! Do you know how RNG has come over in the past three years? But tomorrow, the RNG team will finally have a chance to get revenge on G2, sword Dark, and then go forward to win the championship! ”

"RNG must come on! In this battle, you can only succeed, not lose! ”

This time, not only the fans of the RNG team, but even the vast majority of LPL fans really think that the RNG team is good again.

After all, in their opinion, with the blessing of various factors, the S9 World Championship really seems to be a year that can create miracles one after another!

So, in the impatience of all LPL fans, on October 30, the third match day of the S9 World Championship quarterfinals knockout round, finally arrived quietly.

And today's BO5 battle is the G2 team and the RNG team! (End of chapter)
