Chapter Forty-Seven: The S Race Begins! It's hot like never before!
After the carnival, it is natural to collect the heart.
It's nice to be in the World Championships, but if you get knocked out in the play-in rounds, it's a lot of fun.
If you really want to overturn, how high the traffic is now, how serious the backlash will be at that time!
Although the audience trolls in the LPL are not necessarily as real as the LCK, they will directly wreath and posthumous photos for you to hold a funeral ceremony.
But the yin and yang weirdness is even better, and it can still easily squirt you into the dirt!
So during this time, everyone at IG has been constantly playing training matches.
The training targets are mainly three teams: EDG, RNG, AND WE.
I also made an appointment with the team on the LCK side, but the two sides are not familiar with each other after all, and they don't play many games, but they just have a preliminary understanding of the two divisions.
Speaking of which, WE is still very particular, even if it is eliminated, it still does not have a holiday, but is willing to accompany it to play a training match.
After this point was known to the outside world, it was naturally another wave of praise.
After all, this is a world championship held at home.
If the championship is taken away by other regions, everyone will be disgraced.
The entire LPL can also be regarded as united, and all the intrigues of the past, at least during this time, everyone should reveal it for the time being!
"Brother Shen, are you nervous?" Ah Shui sat in the training room, looking excited and nervous.
I belong to the world championship and look forward to it, but I am afraid of losing.
"How can I be nervous about such a steady person?"
Lu Shen sat on the chair and glanced at him with a strange expression: "It's you, what are you nervous about?" It's not for you to fight. ”
"I, am I nervous?" Ah Shui swallowed.
"Nonsense," Lu Shen rolled his eyes: "It's all written on your face." ”
"Then I'll try to control it as much as possible," Ah Shui took a deep breath, and then said: "I heard that we will fly to Wuhan tomorrow, and I don't know how the venue is like over there, whether it can compare to Wukesong." ”
The scene of Wukesong in that selection competition is still fresh in his memory.
The shouts of tens of thousands of people erupted in a stadium and soared into the sky.
That kind of blood-boiling feeling, it's really hard to be there if you don't go to the scene!
"Don't worry," Lu Shen smiled faintly: "The heat of the S competition is definitely far beyond your imagination." ”
No matter how popular the regional event or even other international events are, it is impossible to compare to the S competition!
Because it's a stage for audiences all over the world!
It is also the stage of the highest glory of the entire LOL!
There are even many spectators who don't usually watch the game at all, but the annual World Championship is a must-see!
Following.
The players of the entire IG club, plus coaches, managers, team leaders and others, all came to Wuhan directly on a plane.
At this time, there are still three days left before the official start of the World Championship.
The upcoming play-in tournament will be held at the sports center in Wuhan.
Teams from all over the world are gradually rushing to the city.
Even, spectators from other countries who bought tickets came to the scene.
The streets are littered with some blonde foreigners.
For a while, the city's e-sports atmosphere has gradually become hot.
The big screens in the major squares, the stop signs at the bus stops, and even the subway stations are covered with the propaganda of the alliance!
Even if it's just a ticket for a general seat in the play-in tournament, it has been speculated on the Internet for thousands of high prices!
It can be seen how hot the S competition is!
A simple play-in tournament can never be matched by other events!
As soon as the IG people got off the plane, they came to the hotel they had booked non-stop, and after packing up, they were ready to continue playing the training match.
Of course, these three days of training matches are mainly with other play-in teams.
"Is it that simple?"
After winning several times in a row, King Ning began to float, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped: "If it goes on like this, we will be able to advance steadily." ”
Although this is a very floating statement.
But it's true.
There is no way, the 12 teams in the play-in round are from 12 regional regions around the world.
To put it simply, most of them are wild cards.
The only ones who can hinder them a little are the third seed FNC of the EU and the C9 team of the third seed of NA.
As for the LCK, since they won the MSI Mid-Season Tournament, all three teams did not have to play in the play-in tournament this year, but directly advanced to the group stage.
It is precisely because of this that IG's play-in journey seems even more suspenseless.
"It's better to be cautious," Rookie, as the veteran captain, reminded, "If you don't play properly, even if you win, be careful of being sprayed." ”
Hearing this, King Ning reined in a somewhat floating mentality.
Truly.
There are too many eyes on the world anymore.
Most of the domestic viewers may only watch games with IG, after all, they will participate in the LPL in the play-in tournament.
A small mistake may be infinitely magnified!
Soon.
It's September 23rd.
On this day, the S7 World Championship play-in tournament officially began!
Twelve teams from China, Japan, Brazil, Latin America, Turkey, and more, all gathered together!
The entire play-in tournament was divided into four groups, each with three teams.
The top two teams from the eight groups advance to the second round.
In the second round, the team that wins the group is randomly matched with the team that is second in the group, and the four winning teams advance to the group stage.
As the opening match of the S competition, the official naturally arranged the most popular local team - IG.
THE FIRST MATCH AGAINST LYN FROM LATIN AMERICA!
As soon as he came to the scene, Lu Shen could see that the audience was already crowded with audiences from all over the world.
Dense, full of voices!
Of course, most of them are actually Chinese, who made this their home stadium.
If you look closely, you can see that most of the cheering cards held by the rows of fans below are:
'IG come on! ’
'Little IG rush! ’
'C God! I love you! ’
'C God Husband Will Win!' ’
'Rookie stand up!' ’
Even King Ning, The Shy, and Baolan also have personal support cards dangling off the field.
To be reasonable, the number of IG fans is definitely not so exaggerated.
At least in previous league matches, it is unlikely that there will be an entire stadium, most of which will be holding IG cheering cards.
Don't ask, just ask that there is only one team of its own in the play-in round.
Who else can you support if you don't support IG?
"Wow, there's too many of them." King Ning looked at this exaggerated scene and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
How bold you were before the start of the game, how nervous you are now.
"Don't panic," Rookie, the only one in the team with S experience, said in a very person-like manner at this time: "It's just a play-in match, let's just play normally." ”
Although he said so, if you listen closely, you can hear that his voice is trembling slightly.
Typical calm on the surface, but panicked inside!
Don't look at Rookie, he is always the most stable person in the IG team, but his mentality is actually not as stable as he imagined.
There will even be cases where you forget to buy outfits!
Finally, the teams from both sides began to enter.
In the official live broadcast room, there was also a comparison of the audience support rates on both sides.
There is no doubt that IG has a high approval rating of 99.9%!
On the other side, LYN, composed of Latin American buddies, has a pitiful 0.1% support rate!
It's an absolutely crushing comparison!
