"If you look at it this way, the teams that are ranked second in the group are a bit difficult to beat." Miller couldn't help but frown.

SKT, Samsung, Fnatic, EDG.

For LPL, IG or RNG draw Fnatic and EDG, these two teams are definitely much easier to play than the other two Korean teams.

The group stage is BO1 and is full of serendipity.

Maybe this BP is done well, and this player suddenly breaks out on the field, or there is an emergency on the field, and it is very common for him to win this game.

But in BO5, the game is stretched to 5 games, and players can break out one, two, and it won't break out three games in a row, right? ?

BP: It's impossible for people to let you hold all the handles so comfortably, and let you restrain yourself from the lineup, right?

It's impossible to always break out on the field that is unfavorable to others, and it is also possible to break out in a situation that is not good for you, right??

Therefore, when the whole game is extended, there is still the chance of the game, but the impact on the final result of the game will be minimized, and the more test is the state of the team's hard power that has been adjusted on the spot.

That's exactly what the South Korean team does best.

So......

If Fnatic and EDG can be drawn, IG and RNG will most likely advance to the semi-finals.

The last time two teams from the LPL region advanced to the semifinals was in S4, OMG and Royalty met in the semifinals, and finally Royalty successfully reached the finals, but was beaten 3-1 by Samsung.

Why is it abuse?

The only one that won was deliberately given by Samsung Bai in order to get the skin.

The S4 World version gives Big Tree + Ryze to the opposite side at the same time, what is the difference between this and giving away a victory for nothing?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the three-star white royal family is all-round crushing and hanging.

"Look! I hope the smiling hands will be a little redder! The doll on the side said, "I don't think there is any need to pick opponents with IG's strength, they can win SKT twice, even if they meet Samsung, there will be nothing to be afraid of, right??" ”

[As soon as the draw arrives, this thing will be the enemy, and they will all be encountered sooner or later, so why not meet and kill the other party in advance? ] 】

[I like Brother Extraordinary very much, picking an opponent is a coward's behavior, my little IG is not glutinous! ] 】

[Hurry up!] Hurry up! Anyway, I only look at IG, and the other two teams are free. 】

[Anyway, it's impossible to divide the finals, so there's no difference.] 】

On the stage, the two official hosts of the LPL are already standing here, Yu Shuang and Ren Dong!

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2017 League of Legends World Championship quarterfinals draw ceremony!" Ren Dong was the first to speak, "Of the 24 teams that once had the dream of being a champion, there are only the last eight teams left at this stage, so let's welcome them next!" ”

"First of all! They are the representatives of the four teams that advanced to the quarterfinals as the No. 1 seed, they are IG, Dragon Ball, RNG and Team Rabbit!! ”

The representative sent by IG is Song Yijin, the big brother in the team and the recognized team spirit, this kind of occasion is more suitable for him.

For Li Feifei, his recent exposure is large enough, and he doesn't need to care about such a moment or two exposures.

And for the sake of symmetry, the other three teams also sent out mid-laner players in the team, namely Dragon Ball's BDD, RNG's Little Tiger and the rabbit team's mid-laner PowerOfEvil!

Four players came to the stage, while the electronic screen behind them displayed the logos of the four teams.

Song Yijin waved his hand to the audience, and the audience immediately burst into a burst of fierce cheers and applause.

Of course, the three mid-laners next to him also enjoy such treatment!

"Next up are the four teams that will advance to the quarterfinals as the second seeds: SKT, Samsung, Fnaitc and EDG!!"

The representatives of the four teams are the ADC players in their own teams, namely bang, ruler, rekkles and iboy!

"Once again, we would like to congratulate all eight teams on their successful qualification! At the same time, we would also like to introduce you to the draw rules for the quarterfinals. Yu Shuang opened his mouth and introduced the lottery rules for the quarterfinals in detail.

"First of all! The four teams that finished first in the group stage will face the other four teams who finished second in the group stage, and the quarter-finals will be divided into four groups, each of which will be the first in the group and the second in the group. ”

"The second is that the teams that qualify from the same group must not be divided into the same half, that is to say, the teams that qualify from the same group, if they want to meet again, they must be in the finals, and the quarterfinals will follow these two principles, and then let's invite the lottery guests!!"

"The mid-laner icon from the OMG team in the LPL region!"

Although OMG's record in China is average, it is also in the midstream, and Leng Shao also has a certain number of fans as the mid-laner of this OMG.

He himself is a rich second generation, handsome and handsome, and he plays well, which is considered to be the top few in the domestic mid-laner, and the reason why he failed to achieve better results is more because he was dragged down by the overall strength of the team.

Officials arranged for him to conduct the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals.

Obviously, considering that his personal image is excellent and he is also a genius newcomer, it means that LPL will enter a new era!

It's not.

Wearing a decent spotted blazer and a tie with spots, Leng Shao's personal image really didn't say.

With a smile on his face, he walked to the front of the stage, there were two booths with two glass tanks on them, each containing four balls, representing the No. 1 and No. 2 seed pools.

"First of all, please move to the front of the No. 1 seed pool for the draw!"

With a smile on his face, icon reached into the glass jar, then flicked it clockwise a few times, randomly pulled out a gacha from it, and unscrewed it randomly!

With a black and white background, the IG letters are combined, and it looks like the upper part of the G letter, and there is an extra point here.

"The first one to be drawn out is Team IG! They will be divided in the upper half! ”

And when this result comes out, SKT's end is already doomed, and they can only appear in the second half.

Leng Shao's movements did not stop, he continued to draw lots, and then the second team was also drawn!

Dragon Ball!

"Dragon Ball and IG teams will be divided into the top half, while RNG and Rabbit teams will be divided into the bottom half."

[In other words...... IG semifinals possible to meet Dragon Ball? It doesn't matter if it's spicy! Just do LCK! 】

[Hell, I found a very scary thing, if you are unlucky, IG may face the worst situation is a team of three dozen LCK. 】

【? Really, Nima's IG's luck isn't so bad, right? 】

[Leng Shao hates IG so much, draw such a bad sign for IG. ] 】

On the backstage, when he saw this result, Li Feifei deliberately glanced at the situation of the other teams, and the faces of the two LPL teams were not very good-looking, especially the EDG team.

They are in a group with the Rabbits, and if the Rabbits are in the bottom half of the bracket now, that is...... EDG's quarter-final opponents are either Dragon Ball or IG.

This is especially recognized as the two strongest teams in the No. 1 seed pool, and the factory director put on a 'Sima face', he has probably imagined that the barrage has begun to brush wildly, 'Waste Mingkai, word and word eight paintings, eight top eight every year'.

The RNG players looked a little better, and their opponents were either SKT or Fnatic, so choose one of the two.

Fnatic, RNG is not afraid, Uzi has a fairly high win rate against Fantic in his career, mainly SKT......

Uzi has been playing professionally for so many years, and he has never won SKT in BO5, even once, and even very rarely in BO1 matchups.

There is a high probability that Bazi and Lee Sang-hyuk are in conflict, and their lives are not as hard as Lee Sang-hyuk.

"It's broken, it's broken, isn't it?" Su Xiaoluo seemed very anxious, and he also realized that if IG was unlucky, there was a high probability that he would play all the way from the quarterfinals, and the opponents would be South Korea......

The League of Legends project has been dominated by Koreans since S3, which is a worldwide consensus.

If you want to achieve good results in the World Championships, the best thing for the non-Korean region is to let the two Korean teams meet in the quarterfinals in advance, dog eats dog, and one is eliminated first.

In short, try to avoid playing knockout matches with Koreans.

But IG is good, the worst case is to play three Korean teams at a time, and no one is lucky, right??

"Don't come to Samsung, don't come to Samsung, EDG! EDG it!! Su Xiaoluo put aside this thought, and thought it in pieces.

"Brother Su, do you want to pay attention to the volume? Abu next door looks like he's going to want to give you a big blow. Li Feifei joked with a smile.

Su Xiaoluo's voice is not small, and it just happened to be heard by the EDG people, so that this special person can be happy.

Who do you look down upon?

I really think he EDG is a soft persimmon to take it casually??

"What is there to be afraid of, if you want me to say, just do three Korean teams! In this way, if we can win the championship, is it the most valuable S championship in history?? "King Ning is not nervous at all, he is very arrogant and extremely conceited, and he will not have the mood of timidity at all.

"There is one thing to say...... Indeed! Baolan nodded, "Three beats against the Korean team, after all, if the Korean team wins the championship, it will meet teams in the same division twice at most, and the gold content cannot be compared with us at all." ”

"Then hit! Leng less to give power, draw three stars! Li Feifei also waved his hand with a big grin, "The top eight will be three stars!" ”

When Ah Ning and Su Xiaoluo heard this, they had a frightened expression on their faces, "Ancestor, please stop talking, okay?" Your crow's mouth has been opened. ”

Li Feifei's mouth's skill, they have really seen it.

on the field.

Leng Shao has come to the front of the No. 2 seed pool, and he also toggles the gacha inside first, and then randomly draws one!

The moment the note is presented!

Su Xiaoluo was completely dumbfounded!

Because......

That team logo is really a fucking three-star team!

"Wow, Samsung? Then the opponent of the IG team in the quarterfinals is the second place Samsung team in Group C!! ”

The audience was in an uproar!

Unexpectedly, the worst situation was really met by IG!

"This ......" Miller opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, IG is now recognized as the most promising and competitive team in the LPL, after all, the group has won six in a row.

But this is luck.

Could it really be that beating SKT twice in the group stage and squandering the luck of the entire World Championship period?

"Wow, IG's bad luck! Leng Shao didn't wash his hands before he went on stage! How can it be so stinky! The doll complained even more annoyedly, "Even if you beat Samsung, there are dragon balls waiting in the semifinals." ”

That's right!

In the eyes of the group of dolls, the Dragon Ball team has already advanced in advance, because the opponent of Dragon Ball has been officially determined, that is, the second place from Group D, the EDG team!

EDG failed to win the group in Group D, which is considered to be the weakest, so why play with Dragon Ball?

Moreover, in the past few years, EDG's foreign war against the Korean team is basically stable and filial, otherwise there would be no name for the three phantom gods of the civil war.

It's not.

On the backstage side, the faces of the EDG crowd are indeed worse.

In comparison, they would rather play IG, and the pressure of public opinion faced by losing to IG and losing to Dragon Ball is not at the same level at all.

Losing to IG can also be said to have helped the brother teams in the same division reach the semi-finals.

Losing to Dragon Ball, the audience will only spray you as garbage, the phantom god of the civil war who is stable every year to the Korean team to do his filial piety, what is better than giving a place to WE and other remarks will definitely fill the entire network.

"Brother Su, just relax." Li Feifei smiled and waved his hand, "This is the situation, it doesn't make sense for you to continue to be an ostrich, you have to learn to accept it calmly." ”

"You kid, it's all your crow's mouth!" Su Xiaoluo glared at him angrily, and then turned his head to ask Mafa, "Is there a big probability of passing three stars?" ”

"Damn, Brother Su, I don't like to hear what you say." Ning Wang's little temper also came up, "We did SKT twice in a row, and we are especially afraid of a three-star?" Samsung can't even win RNG, so why win us. ”

"That's right." Su Xiaoluo still had a sad face.

The name of the main Korean team is indeed too big.

Mafa also nodded, "Okay, we can play three stars, their top list cuvee is proficient in yodelers, but not good at playing Jace...... We already have a big advantage in BP. ”

Jace's point belongs to Samsung's must ban, which means that Samsung will have to bear the two bans of Calista and Jace on the red side, even if they come to the blue side, they will have to bear the ban position of Jace, from this point of view, there is nothing wrong with what Mafa said.

"I hope so." Su Xiaoluo also knew that there was no point in continuing to dwell on this, but it would affect the mentality of the players.

We can only continue to wait and see.

Leng Shao is still drawing lots!

The third team they drew was...... Fnatic！

On the stage, Xiaohu couldn't hold back his laughter, and on the backstage, the area where the RNG was located was also cheering, and he couldn't help laughing!

They managed to avoid SKT and draw Fnaitc.

This is almost the equivalent of securing a ticket to the semi-finals in advance, and SKT will automatically face Europe's second seed, the first team in Group D, without the need for a draw!

That's it.

The official matchup of the quarterfinals has been confirmed!

Top half: IG vs. Samsung, Dragon Ball vs. EDG.

Bottom half: RNG vs. Fnatic, Rabbit vs. SKT!

"The result of this draw is not good, IG is a little unlucky, but we also have to believe IG...... If IG can finally make it all the way to the finals according to this matchup! I would like to call this championship the most golden! ”

"Of course...... It's still a bit early to talk about the ownership of the championship, let's support the team to play every game slowly! ”

[I now believe that League of Legends does not have an inside story in the lottery stage, otherwise IG's lottery result will not make sense at all. 】

[I'm really convinced, is Tengjing brain-dead, and doesn't take advantage of the home advantage? ] Isn't it okay to stuff a few hot and cold balls in it? You have to be disgusting IG, right? 】

[That is, it is better to let IG draw EDG and engage in a civil war to send IG to the semi-finals, so that Koreans can eat dogs. 】

[IG can hide tactics when playing EDG, anyway, IG is casually hard, but if Samsung plays Dragon Ball, the two teams will definitely expose more things, why is such a good home advantage not to take advantage of? ] 】

Of course, there are some people who have different opinions.

[Isn't this good, at least the quality of the game can be guaranteed, if IG can't beat Samsung, then it can only be said that the skills are inferior.] 】

[That's it...... If you don't have the strength to win the championship, what if you make it to the semi-finals? No, I still can't beat others. 】

[Now there are only two ways in front of IG, either advance hard, or go home early! ] 】

[The script has been written for IG, it depends on whether IG can grasp it, if it can win the championship...... I'm willing to call IG a god!! 】

All see the same thing.

If IG can go all the way to win the championship, it will really be a script that only movies have.

Obviously, there are more strong teams in the top half, and in the bottom half, SKT has a high probability of advancing to the finals......

Unless RNG can break its own demons.

Otherwise.

Do you want to expect an obscure European team like the Rabbits to teach SKT a lesson?

Return to the hotel.

Mafa's side pulled the players to a meeting as soon as possible.

"Samsung was the world runner-up last year, and their overall strength is very strong, but there is no need to panic."

"I believe that our overall strength is stronger than the other side, so it will be us who wins."

S7 because of the existence of the incense burner monster, so there are almost no upsets, the strong team against the weak team is crushing, and the weak team against the strong team is difficult to end the game through one or two mistakes by the opponent.

No way.

The Incense Burner gives the team too much margin for error.

The strong team will make fewer mistakes than the weak team, and everyone will improve the error tolerance rate together, which means that the strong team will never make mistakes.

Where does the weak team come from??

Therefore......

The main tone of the S7 World Championship is the team battle and the transfer operation in the later stage.

The team battle ability IG is a little stronger, and the dedicated line operation is Samsung's housekeeping ability, and both sides have their own advantages.

But Mafa feels that the individual strength of the IG players is stronger, based on this!

The winner must be IG!

"Everyone pack up their luggage, let's fly directly to Guangzhou in the evening, take a good rest when we arrive, and cooperate with the official to carry out various filming and training arrangements, the time is very tight."

The players hurriedly packed their luggage and rushed to Guangzhou almost non-stop, preparing to face off against Samsung's quarterfinals!

More to come! More to come! More to come!

Say the important thing three times!
