Chapter 1069 The end of the group stage

Three days into the group stage, KT ended the first round of the group stage with a 3-0 record.

The other two seeded teams, LEC champion MAD and LPL champion RNG, also ended the first round with a complete victory.

Among them, since there are only three teams in Group A, RNG needs to play BO1 with two opponents four times each, and their record has come to 4-0.

The next three days will be the qualifying battle. In the first group A competition on May 5, RNG once again easily swept two opponents in a row, and advanced to the confrontation stage with an 9-8 group stage score.

In fact, everyone in Group A initially thought that UOL could cause some trouble for RNG. In last year's play-in match, UOL and Lao Ganda fought back and forth, so they should still have some strength.

The UOL players also expressed their ambition to compete with RNG in the interview. After the withdrawal of the Vietnam Division, they already regarded the promotion places as their pockets, and even wanted to wrestle with RNG a little bit.

After all, the other team in the same group, PGG, is obviously a salted fish. The outside world has already regarded them as the weakest team among the 11 Icelandic teams this time before MSI starts.

The Oceania team has always been notoriously weak. At the end of last year, Riot also announced the disbandment of the OPL division, but it will reserve a one-year quota for the Oceania team to participate in the World Championship.

PGG also became the team representing Oceania to participate in MSI for the last time.

After next year, even if there are LOL professional teams in Oceania, they can only participate in leagues in other regions, just like today's Taiwanese teams can only participate in the Southeast Asian League.

No matter how you think about such a team, it shouldn't have an impact on UOL. After all, the Unicorns are recognized as one of the strongest wild card teams.

But no one thought that the leader of the Commonwealth of Independent States who came to Iceland this year would be vulnerable to RNG, and they even lost to PGG in the extra match.

PGG successfully snatched the second promotion spot in Group A.

The audience in Oceania was very excited, while the European audience expressed sadness.

UOL's popularity in Europe is actually very high, and even the new LEC champion MAD's support in the European forum is inferior.

The unique style and family workshop operation method made this team have fans everywhere before the European Unionization began.

Before 18 years, UOL was the most popular team in Europe except FNC, even though they didn't have any results.

Perhaps in the eyes of many European audiences, this is a purer team than ROX, although the strength of the two is very different.

The establishment of UOL originated from a few young people who wanted to play games together. Now, Hi Lisan and Vicki Chachi, who have made a name for themselves in the LEC, are the founding fathers of this team.

Hi Lisan, the game style of thinking about ideas was developed during the UOL period.

In order to save money, the team's logistics are all handled by the coach's family members, and even the coach's girlfriend has become the team's substitute, so that there is no need to pay extra for finding an extra substitute.

At that time, the league stipulated that each team must have two substitutes, and UOL's other substitute was Hi Lisan's twin brother, also to save money.

In 17, they competed with G2 for the LCS EU championship. The final scene was completely covered in pink, and the audience was full of cheers for unicorns. G2, which has already made a name for itself, was embarrassed not to receive support from the European scene.

Although this unique team was excluded from the LEC due to their refusal of foreign capital, they still have a lot of fans in Europe, even though they are in the CIS region.

Unlike the domestic sub-leagues, which have almost no interest and become holy places for fake matches, Europe has a strong club culture, and the atmosphere in some regional leagues and sub-leagues is actually very popular. Many teams have more sponsors than LEC teams.

The just-concluded European Masters final even set a number of ratings records. French President Macron sent congratulations to the winning KC team.

So it is understandable that UOL is still so popular in Europe. Except for Spanish audiences, many European audiences even think that UOL is more like their home team than MAD.

Of course, this is also the cruelty of e-sports.

To be eliminated is to be eliminated.

Trophies are not awarded to whoever has more fans.

In the qualifying match of Group B on May 5th, although MAD lost to the Turkish team IW in an upset, the European upstarts still stabilized their positions and finally emerged as the top of the group with a 10-5 record.

Another promotion place in Group B was won by PSG. The Hong Kong provincial team did not lose the chain except for being double-killed by MAD, and squeezed into the confrontation stage 4-2.

In fact, this level of PSG is the strength that the five major league teams should have.

Although they can't beat the LCK and LPL, the LMS teams used to have an overwhelming advantage when facing the wild card competition, unlike the North American teams who always like to play show effects.

On May 5th, KT was still strong in the third day of qualifying in Group C. They generally won three more times and entered the next stage with a 11-6 record.

The other place in Group C was finally won by C9.

North America in the first round was a mess. If it weren't for INF's mid-term problems, C9 would have started with a three-game losing streak.

In addition to still being beaten by KT, C9 finally showed the strength it should have in the four major leagues. Ah P, who opened up the second line of Ren and Du, finally rose to prominence. He led the team to defeat INF and DFM consecutively, with a thrilling 3-3 record. qualify.

So far, the places for the six teams in the competition stage have been determined.

RNG, PGG, MAD, PSG, KT, C9.

Just looking at the list, the audience may think that there are not too many surprises. Except for PGG, the rest are the five strongest teams on paper.

Only those who have watched the game will know how thrilling some teams are on their way to advancement.

I am talking about you! C9.

After the group stage, the data of each team also attracted attention.

The data of KT and RNG can be said to stand out, and they are obviously ahead of the other four teams at the team level. MAD's data has dropped a lot due to losing a game.

Among them, KT's overall KDA is higher, and the average resource control rate per game is also better.

On the other hand, RNG takes less time per game and has a higher bloody level per game.

Although the opponents are different, the fans are still very enthusiastic to start the void comparison, insisting on a competition.

In terms of personal data, Lin Cheng's KDA of over 40 made everyone call it outrageous.

Lin Cheng died twice in six games, and his kills and assists combined exceeded 80, which is why he had such a terrifying KDA stat.

The KDA of GALA, which is ranked second, is only 12.1.

Moreover, Lin Cheng is a top laner, and almost always charges forward every time he fights. This kind of outrageous KDA data should not appear on a top laner.

Some people even went to the live broadcast room to ask the factory director if he taught Lin Cheng the skills of brushing KDA.

The factory manager was furious on the spot.

"Block me for using Clear Run!"

"How many years has it been?"

"How many times have the people who blackmailed me come here every year?"

"Change the soup but not the medicine."
