At 1 p.m. on October 20, the second match day of the Swiss round officially began.

Just like yesterday, today is still eight BO1s directly full, and all 16 teams will play.

Today's game is technically higher quality than yesterday's.

Not to mention anything else, just the first and second seeds in the two regions of China and South Korea met each other, which was a very exciting game.

Of course, there are also matches of average quality, such as the first one, which is a civil war between two North American teams.

North American champion NRG takes on the third seed, TL.

Everyone drew the civil war in the two divisions of China and South Korea, in fact, there are also civil wars in North America and Europe, and there are still a lot of civil wars in this second round of the game.

From the fist's point of view, they certainly don't want to see so many civil wars.

As soon as there are too many civil wars, it will inevitably affect the ratings.

Some fans may think that I am tired of watching these two teams play each other, but I was shown this at the World Championships.

However, there is another opinion, everyone feels that the result of this draw is that Riot wants to protect the European and American teams.

The Swiss wheel may be even more unfriendly to Europe and the United States.

If there is no European and American team in the quarterfinals, it is a bit unreasonable.

The best way to protect them is to force a civil war.

If you fight others, you may lose both, and you can save one in a civil war.

The reason why this game was scheduled for the first place was also to take care of the time of the spectators in North America.

The time difference between North America and Asia is still quite unfriendly.

Therefore, every time the S competition is held in North America, it is basically the most torturous time for domestic audiences to watch the game.

Although NRG is the North American Summer Champion, everyone is still more optimistic about TL.

After all, the NRG team is not very experienced in tournaments, and everyone feels that they can win the No. 1 seed in North America, also because it happened to be a burst of seeds at that time.

In fact, the overall strength is not so powerful.

Coupled with the tradition of the North American region, the No. 1 seed will most likely pull his hips when he comes to the World Championships.

On the contrary, the TL team is about to become a Korean team, and there are two world champions in it.

Yesterday they almost won T1, which is the main factor that everyone is more optimistic about them.

As a result, this game was nothing, and it was easily killed by NRG.

There is not much attention to this game in China, it belongs to today's ugly game, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses.

At most, it is a few words of ridicule, the kind of more anxious eyes to spray people, the probability is that the gambling dog loses a little anxious.

……

Everyone pays more attention to the next game.

In addition to the four LPL teams, the most concerned is KT, even more than T1.

KT hits DK today, and it's not that easy to play.

Because according to rumors, in addition to G2, another team that is currently invincible in training matches is DK.

Coupled with DK's lineup here, it really doesn't look bad.

Saying that they have become fierce, everyone is willing to believe it.

You like the third uncle and Xu Xiu, they have all proven that they are top players, although the state fluctuates, but the upper limit is there.

If the real form has picked up, it is not surprising that the game is good.

In the end, KT won the game, which shows that DK's state is not as good as rumored.

And KT does have something, and it's hard to say that you let them play T1 with these two teams.

But if you play DK and Hanwha, you can still handle it.

The LCK side is also focusing on a strict level this year.

……

The third and fourth seeds on the LPL side also won all of them in the second round.

With a direct 2-0 record, it is a step away from advancing to the quarterfinals.

It is more difficult to get in than to get in, after all, it is not easy to lose three BO3s in a row.

If even the third and fourth seeds can reach the quarterfinals, it means that all four teams in the LPL can reach the quarterfinals this year, which is also an achievement.

You say that V5 or JD can't get into the top eight, and everyone doesn't believe this.

It's a pity that these two teams are going to have a civil war today, and one of them is bound to lose, so you can't see all the LPL teams winning today.

If it weren't for the draw, everyone would have reason to believe that all four teams would be able to win all of them today.

V5's match against JD.com was the penultimate game today.

At first, it was close to eight o'clock in the evening.

The confrontation between these two teams, frankly speaking, everyone has watched it too many times this year, especially the audience of the LPL is really going to vomit.

But in today's game, it's really hard to say that V5 will definitely win.

Because Chen Ke still did not appear, this is also what caused some controversy after the announcement of the starting list yesterday.

The opening match was not played, and everyone can understand it, because the opponent is too weak.

With Chen Ke's style of only playing key games now, it is understandable that he is not playing, and everyone has long been used to it.

Problem: If you can't play a team like JD.com, the probability of winning V5 is not high.

JD.com won V5 in the regular season this year, not that it lost for a year from beginning to end, but BO5 never won once.

At that time, Jingdong was able to win, but it was also thanks to Chen Ke who didn't get on.

If Chen Ke is on it, there is actually no suspense in the result.

In today's game, for a team like V5, the impact of losing is quite big.

Although it is said that losing will not affect their progress to the quarterfinals, there is no chance of winning them all.

At the end of the round, Switzerland will only produce two winning teams, which is 3-0.

The two teams will have an advantage in the quarter-finals, and they will not be in the semi-finals, and they will only meet in the final.

In everyone's opinion, it must be that Switzerland will win all the rounds, which will be more beneficial to the quarterfinals after that.

If Chen Ke doesn't go, it's hard to say, and everyone doesn't understand why Chen Ke is so Buddhist.

In this game, it can be seen that JD is still quite excited.

Both teams are very irritable, they belong to the kind of people who do it when they meet, and there are not many things at the operational level.

has deepened the stereotype of LPL that likes to fight a little bit more for the world audience.

Looking at the whole process, the two teams are going back and forth, there is not much gap, Jingdong has a small advantage at most, the kind that can be ignored.

But the last wave of team battles was too impulsive, and the tsar had to rush up to push the ruler emperor.

As a result, the person didn't push it, but gave it away.

was directly controlled by the bull's head, and he didn't even press the golden body.

When it comes to the late team battle, there is one less Tsar, so you can imagine how big the blow to V5 is.

A wave of team battles exploded directly, and the 35-minute point in time could completely end the game in one wave.

After seeing JD.com win, the scene was still very high.

Because there are a lot of Korean viewers at the scene today, they are mainly to watch the next game of T1, so they simply watched the V5 game together.

Anyway, knowing that Chen Ke is not on it, everyone also guessed that V5 might lose.

I'm really happy to see V5 lose the game.

It's hard to see V5 lose at Worlds.

It doesn't matter if he Chen Ke is on it or not, I really think that if I don't get it, if I lose the game, it will have nothing to do with me?

Although they lost to JD.com, it was not their LCK team.

But JD is all us Koreans in C, and there's nothing wrong with us being happy, right?

As long as a Korean wins V5, it doesn't matter which team he represents.

The most interesting thing is that KT is also very happy.

Yesterday's uncomfortable mood has finally improved.

Because they won the game today despite the draw's successive unfavorable draws.

You V5 has been doing it for a long time, and now it's the same as our record, everyone is 1-1.

Wait a minute...

When they thought that they had the same record as the V5 team, the KT people immediately realized that something was wrong.

As we all know, every round of the Swiss round is drawn, and teams with the same record are drawn together.

Now that the two teams have the same record, can it be said...

The more I thought about it, the more I was hazy, and KT collectively performed a smile disappearing technique.

Then he comforted himself with madness that 1-1 teams were the most in the third round, and a total of eight teams would be 1-1 teams.

If the eight teams are together, the probability of them meeting is really not that great, so there is no need to worry about this.

……

The domestic side didn't realize this problem yet, and after losing the game, the Internet began to quarrel.

Basically, once the team with a lot of traffic loses the game, all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods will emerge, and there will always be some rhythm.

If the main game is irrelevant, it doesn't matter, it still has an impact after losing, so the pace will be a little bigger.

Driven by people with a heart, the spearhead was directed at Chen Ke.

The thing that everyone argues more about is why Chen Ke didn't play this game.

I've been paddling in the LPL before, and now I'm still paddling when I come to the World Championships, is this attitude really worth my salary?

Obviously, you can win after you get on, but now that you lose the game, you can't take the lead in the Swiss round.

Of course, most fans also think that it doesn't matter, why do you have to fight for the winning team?

When you reach the quarterfinals, you don't care who the opponent is drawn by lot, as long as you draw V5, then they should be afraid.

I just played two BO1 games, and I really don't know why I'm in such a hurry.

There was a lot of noise on the Internet until the end of the game against T1.

T1 was the finale of the day, and it was won easily.

It can be seen that T1 is not in very good shape now, and this game is a bit crushed.

Not to mention anything else, T1 is really thoroughly studied, and as soon as it touches T1, it will be energetic.

After the game, it is still the draw that everyone is looking forward to.

When it came to this round of draws, everyone really realized the advantages of the Swiss round.

This draw alone looks like it's really exciting round by round.

For example, in the first two rounds of draws, everyone may feel okay.

However, when it comes to the third round, I am a little nervous, and the tension is mixed with anticipation.

The guest of the draw is still Captain Dragonfly, and the domestic audience is now a little familiar with this little brother.

It may be that after the draw ended yesterday, it was more controversial.

Although the lottery was still used today, after Captain Dragonfly came up, he rearranged the position of the bag.

It's like messing it up and putting it back in again, and it looks much better.

Unless you have a pretty good memory, you really can't remember how you posed.

Start by drawing from a 2-0 pool.

There are a total of four teams in this pool, and three of them are LPL teams.

Everyone also calmed down, knowing that there would definitely be a civil war in the next round.

Now it's up to who's going to fight.

The first one to draw out was Li Ning, and then the second one was BLG.

As soon as Li Ning played BLG, it meant that the rest of JD was going to fight together.

Emperor Ruler vs. his old club is still very interesting.

In the eyes of domestic fans, this sign is a good sign.

Why is it said that it is a good sign, because JD is the strongest of the three LPL teams.

They must have a higher winning rate when they go to play, and when the other two LPL teams meet, they will lock in a place for a winning team.

If JD.com's side also wins, it means that the two 3-0 teams are all LPL, which is indeed the most ideal signing.

Here's the 1-1 set, which is the best part.

Eight teams, there will be a lot more possibilities.

The first to draw out is T1, and everyone secretly looked forward to it when they saw T1, so it was not bad to let V5 draw T1.

If you really win T1, then you can start a group on the spot.

It's a pity that G2 was drawn, these two are also old rivals in the World Championship, and G2 is the team that has made T1 suffer the most in the foreign war.

"Made, I don't know why, I always feel like we're going to smoke KT."

"Don't say it, I feel the same way."

"Damn, the team name is red, it seems to be true!"

“……”

When the V5 drew KT, the Korean audience at the scene was numb.

In particular, the camera happened to capture the sluggish expressions of the two young ladies, and they forgot to close their mouths.

But domestic fans, when they saw the results of this lottery, were completely excited.

The rhythm that came from losing the V5 game was also gone, and it was completely replaced by the excitement of the moment.

This KT had just won DK, and it was only after taking a breath that he met the big boss.

The scariest thing is that you still have a holiday with this big boss.

The KT team was also watching the draw, and the moment they saw the results, the whole team fell silent.

The silence in the training room was terrible.

What are you afraid of, the last round was drawn to the most difficult fight in the pool, and this round is again.

With this luck, KT really didn't know what to say.

I feel like I'm being targeted, but I can't find any evidence.

What kind of ending is worthy of the tribulation along the way?

……

"Damn, V5 playing KT starts tomorrow, I can't wait."

"I'm the same, I feel like there's ants crawling on my body."

"Now that the draw is not over, how can the schedule come out."

"I'm more and more suspicious now, this lottery brother is our own."

"The people who were still shouting why Chen Ke didn't play just now are waiting to see, I dare to use the head to guarantee that the next game against KT Chen Ke will be a must."

"When you're looking forward to the game, I'm already looking forward to the post-match interview."

"People are cheap and have their own harvest, and I can only say that they deserve today's results."

"Thinking about it, I am very afraid brothers, Chen Ke deliberately didn't go today, probably just to meet KT in this round."

"You have a point in saying that, anyway, it doesn't matter to V5 whether they can win all of them, but when it comes to the 1-1 pool, even if they can't draw KT, they can bet on a T1 hand."

"Indeed, it is estimated that Chen Ke can see in advance that KT and T1 will also come to the pool of 1-1."

"Turtle turtle, those sunspots sprayed for a long time, but I didn't expect everything to be in Chen Ke's calculations."

"I can only say that he is worthy of being the prime minister, a whole magic plan."

“……”

Everyone doesn't care about the later draws, because the four LPL teams have been drawn.

V5 also drew such a show effect, and everyone discussed it before the draw ended.

Chen Ke also brushed it and found that everyone was getting more and more outrageous, and he was crazy about blowing his clever tricks here.

can only say that it's all nonsense, Chen Ke didn't play today, and it has nothing to do with deliberately trying to let the team lose and draw KT.

The main thing is to fight the civil war, and Chen Ke has no interest.

After some discussion in the team, it was decided that Chen Ke would not be on it, and as long as the Swiss round did not encounter a special team like T1, they would let them finish playing.

As long as you can make it to the quarterfinals, it doesn't matter what the specific record is.

Anyway, against JD.com, everyone can accept winning or losing.

If it can be won, it will also be an improvement for the other V5 people.

The stage of the World Championship is the most tempering.

Chen Ke also retired after playing this year, so he gave everyone more opportunities to exercise and improve, and the LPL in the future will rely on them to contribute.

If you lose the game, you won't be so uncomfortable, just review it well.

As a result, I didn't expect Captain Dragonfly to be so powerful, and I directly drew KT for them.

If he encounters the KT team, Chen Ke is indeed a little itchy, and he will definitely play in the next game.

But what makes Chen Ke a little nerve-wracking is that at the home of South Korea, can they allow me to wear a clown mask on stage?
