Chapter 121 The quarterfinals!

6/0.

When the first round of the IG group stage was over, many viewers had expectations for this result.

But there are also quite a few viewers who have this expectation while also retaining some retreats.

After all, judging from the history of teams in the LPL division, their performance in the S game is often lower than expected.

It is also because of this that when IG really advanced to the quarterfinals with a complete victory in the group stage, the excitement of the fans was also higher than the original expectation in a certain sense.

"3/0 may still have an element of luck, but 6/0 is the crushing of strength. Our IG will take the first step, and the other two brothers... oh, one, come on!"

"This IG team's style of play is fierce and exciting, but sometimes it's terrifyingly stable..."

"Draven of Luo Ge won the MVP again, darling, 6/0 data, so far I have counted, the data of Luo Ge S game so far is 37/2/16, with an average of more than 6 kills per game , a bit strong!"

"I feel that IG has played at least half of the operations in these few games. If the fights are more frequent, Brother Shine's stats will be even more exaggerated!"

"Tsk tsk, with an average of 6.2 kills per game, it is currently at the top of the list of kills per game in the S game. The second and third places are iboy and uzi, one with 5.2 and the other with 5.1. "

"The LPL competition area is still more inclined to fight, so the average number of kills per game will be more explosive. Then the problem comes. There are players from three teams in the top three. How come there is a team that feels strange."

The masters of the Tieba forum analyzed it in various ways.

But they racked their brains and couldn't figure out why EDG's group stage started with 0/3 when there was iboy, the second player in the kills per game list!

And it's not just iboy, the elementary school boys are also in the top three on the list of the middle school.

In this version where the double C decides everything, EDG's double C data is so outstanding, but the team's results are so abstract.

This is so puzzling.

"From this, it can be judged that sometimes gorgeous data is useless, and the corresponding players with mediocre data may not be weak. Didn't many people think that the rhythmic article a few days ago made sense? Why is no one talking about it now? ?”

"That's right, what's wrong with me, Brother Shine, whose average output is a little lower than the others... Fuck, brother Shine, why are you ranked third in average output?"

When the audience went to observe Li Luo's statistics after the second round of competition, they were shocked.

KDA still hangs high at the top of the list, more than double the lead of Xiaohu who is ranked second.

The average damage per point is 833, ranking third among all players.

The average economic score is 460, ranking second on the list.

With an average of 219 injuries, the overall list ranks 78th, with a total of 83 people.

Injuries accounted for 33%, ranking only No.11 on the list.

The economy accounted for 22.3%, ranking ninth on the list.

The average CS is 10.7, ranking second on the list.

The damage conversion rate is 186, ranking third on the list.

He averaged 47 cuts per game, ranking first on the list.

Averaged 15 minutes per game to lead the matchup, 1011, ranking first on the list.

A variety of gorgeous data is placed in front of the Western and even Korean media.

Their firepower suddenly fell silent as if they were blocked by plasticine.

How can this kind of data be black?
Does black damage account for it?

People's IG itself is a joint output of multiple core points, which can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

Otherwise, in this version, how can there be a unit whose average output can exceed half of the ADC players?
With 22% of the economy accounting for 33% of the team's output, what bicycle do you need?
They can't catch the statistic of the average injury, can they?

Li Luo was not clear about his own data.

At this time, he was invited to participate in an interview on the English stream.

The person in charge of the interview is Sjokz, the big wave host of the LCS North American Division.

"Hello, Shine, it's a pleasure to invite you for an interview."

Sjokz greeted him with a smile on his face, and shook hands with Li Luo.

"Thank you."

Li Luo replied with a shy smile.

At this moment, the translator who was following behind was just stunned, but didn't think much about it. After all, the English sentence is quite simple. I heard that Li Luo was a high school student before, so it's normal to understand it.

"Congratulations to IG for appearing at the top of the group with a luxurious record of 6/0. First of all, the first question is... how long has Shine been playing professionally?"

Sjokz's first question stunned Li Luo.

Li Luo didn't answer, but looked at the translator.

The translator repeated what Sjokz said, and Li Luo replied in Chinese after listening: "It's more than three months."

"It's only been three months..."

Sjokz was obviously surprised. After thinking for a while, she asked, "It's incredible. As a rookie, won't you feel nervous when you step on the stage of the World Championship for the first time?"

Still retelling it through the translator, Li Luo replied: "There will definitely be nervousness, so there are some flaws in performance, and strive to improve slowly."

Sjokz looked at Li Luo with obvious surprise.

She suspected that Li Luo was in Versailles.

But looking at Li Luo's appearance is really pleasing, even if she is a European and American, she still feels that Li Luo's appearance is very comfortable.

With this appearance, Li Luo's words seemed to be more convincing and more believable.

"The next round will be the knockout round. As the leader of the group, which opponent do you hope to face next?"

Faced with Sjokz's question, Li Luo thought for a while: "It feels pretty strong, it's good to meet anyone."

Li Luo's answer was a bit perfunctory.

This is also the main reason why Li Luo doesn't like interviews very much.

The same is true for interviews in any competition area, and some questions that can arouse heat and topics will be asked.

They hoped that the players being interviewed would be a little crazy and say some cruel words.

Viewers hope so too.

But Li Luo's temperament is not very fond of talking harshly.

He has already stated his goals and even the goals of the entire IG team in interviews before.

In that case, just say it once.

In Li Luo's view, any team that can enter the top eight is a big challenge.

As for who you will meet, it doesn't matter, anyway... IG always has to cross the past.

For Sjokz, today's interview was a little boring.

She asked a few more questions in succession, but all the answers she got were flat.

In her eyes, Li Luo's calmness did not look like that of this age group.

She interviewed Faker when SKT came back from EDG before.

Faker expressed confidently that their goal this time will still be the world champion, and they are confident that they can achieve this.

The confidence in the words made Sjokz have a new impression of this year's big devil.

From faker's words, Sjokz can really feel the strong self-confidence of the latter.

This is the manifesto of the Triple Crown.

And Li Luo...

Although the answer is ambiguous, humble and low-key.

But Sjokz vaguely felt that Li Luo's self-confidence seemed to come from within, but he didn't express it.

The weirdness is here, faker and Li Luo, one is the founder of the Triple Crown Dynasty.

One is a rookie who has only been around for about three months since his debut.

So why do these two people feel so similar to her?
The interview is over.

Li Luo stretched himself.

After adapting to the rhythm of the game, Li Luo deeply felt the advantage of being "young".

Although the second round of the group stage was played in one day, Li Luo didn't feel exhausted. On the contrary, he was so energetic that he could even go out to sweep up a whole night market snack without feeling tired.

Normally speaking, being scheduled to play on the first day of the second round is a relatively disadvantageous thing for any team.

From today's bp, it can be seen that no one in Group A played Ezreal anymore after the whole day.

Even AHQ, who was taken off the track, pulled it back...although they knelt three times in a row after pulling it back.

In other words, the teams that played on the first day of the second round tended to be the pioneers, acting as a wave of guinea pigs for the other groups.

But there are benefits too.

As the saying goes, finish get off work early and leave work early.

Everyone in IG will have more than a week to prepare for the knockout round, and they can even rest for two days before the other top eight places are not contested.

That night, Li Luo was walking around the snack street while watching the live broadcast of the next few games on his mobile phone.

All three teams are 2/4.

I'm afraid the extra game tonight will be very late.

According to the rules of the quarter-finals of the S tournament, if the two teams in the same group meet in the knockout round, they can only be in the final.

Li Luo didn't give up the possibility of a few tenths of a percent. What if the second place in their group overturned all the teams and advanced to the final?
Of course, this situation is a little bit slim.

As the bell rang at midnight, the second place in Group A was finally contested.

FNC didn't mess up because it was killed by IG in the last one.

They have fully demonstrated what is the will of Europe and what is the tenacity of Europe.

It is with this will and belief in hard work that they successfully made a breakthrough in adversity and became the second team to advance to the quarterfinals.

Compared with FNC's legendary story, IG's 6/0 is not so dazzling.

At least today's audience in Europe is extremely happy.

……

Everyone in IG did not go to Guangzhou immediately.

According to the official arrangement, it is necessary to wait for all the places to be competed, and then shoot a promotional video of the knockout match from the scene, and then the players can set off to Guangzhou to prepare for the battle.

In these three days of competition, IG did not slacken in training while watching the game.

And one after another, the top eight teams are gradually released.

In Group B, LZ became the second team to qualify 6/0.

Their dominance in the group stage is not weaker than that of IG.

In addition, the second team to stand out in Group B is the MSF Rabbit team.

In the following group C, although RNG was upset in the second round and was defeated by G2, they successfully double-killed SSG and ranked first in the group with a record of 5/1.

Although SSG was beheaded twice by RNG, they won steadily when they faced other teams, and finally qualified for the second place in the group.

And the one that attracted the most attention and received the most attention was naturally Group D.

The EDG team won consecutive victories in the first two games of the second round under the 0/3 situation in the first round of the group.

This made many EDG fans hopeful.

The provincial team's anti-Han Qixia Flash Wolves successfully defeated SKT in the match against SKT, which is undoubtedly great news for EDG.

As long as they can defeat SKT, then there is a high probability that they will get a chance to play off!

The EDG fans who rekindled hope recovered the support items they had thrown away, regrouped, and cheered for EDG's last stand!
In the second confrontation with SKT, EDG still lived up to expectations and achieved a huge economic advantage in the early stage.

The cheers of EDG fans on the scene have been heard from time to time since EDG won the first head.

Many EDG fans even began to tremble with excitement.

Desperate situation!
As long as it can be won, it will be an ultimate comeback in a desperate situation!

This is much more shocking than FNC's comeback.

EDG also seemed to feel that victory was in sight. Under the Highland Tower, iboy showed an icon, and he seemed to be swearing to SKT that if we lead you for the first time, we will naturally lead the second time!

then……

Added a sentence later.

Naturally, it can also be turned a second time.

When the tone of Miller and Wawa gradually became sad, countless EDG fans on the scene began to break their defenses.

In the battle of pushing the high ground in the middle, EDG, which was retreating originally, was seduced by SKT's people. Mouse's big tree turned back and bundled up, and a team battle broke out.

This wave of groups alone had a devastating blow to EDG as a whole.

Wolf came to the last row of the team by flashing, and controlled Fengnv to use her ultimate move to revive Jifeng and paired with the two pieces of redemption to restore all SKT members to an excellent state.

EDG's frontal team battle was instantly defeated.

And this kind of defeat seems to have copied the first match they met with SKT. Once they were defeated for the first time, there will be a second and third time!
Some fans couldn't help crying.

These fans realized very clearly that as long as they lose this EDG game, their trip to the World Championship... will come to an end.

From the opening game to the key battle, then from the key battle to the life and death battle, and then to the honor battle.

EDG went all the way, but finally reached the train station.

The beginning is the end.

In the backstage lounge, whether it was the EDG staff, the coach, or the manager Li Zhe, they couldn't believe the scene in front of them.

Especially... Li Zhe.

Li Zhe's intestines are turning green with regret.

They... the top sixteen!

IG, already in the quarterfinals!

And who is the person who helped IG reach the top eight?
Is it their brilliant top laner?Or is it a stable carry mid lane?
Or is Ning Wang, the jungler who can gradually become the mainstay of the team in the early and mid-term?
Or... a reborn bot lane?

No.

No.

neither.

Li Zhe was the one who helped IG reach the top eight.

Li Zhe felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

The more uncomfortable it is, the easier it is for him to think of Su Xiaoluo's face, so it seems to be even more uncomfortable.

At this time, everyone knows clearly that Li Luo's help to a team is definitely not just a stable carry point.

The overall transformation of IG is inseparable from Li Luo!
But the fact is set, and he can't change it.

Now Li Zhe's mood is very complicated.

As Li Luo's guide, he was actually very optimistic about Li Luo.

On the one hand, he hoped that Li Luo could go further.

On the other hand, he didn't want Li Luo to go too far.

If he goes too far... Will he still be able to offer more lucrative conditions than other teams next year?

This collision of emotions is too complicated.

……

EDG retired with regret and became the first team to exit the LPL division.

After all, they did not escape their fate.

At this time, the eight teams that have already confirmed their seats in the top eight each sent a representative player to stand on the stage.

The representative sent by IG is undoubtedly Li Luo.

After walking on the stage, Li Luo silently came under the banner belonging to the IG team, and then silently closed his eyes to rest under the dazzling lights of the scene.

"Hey! Li Luo!"

From the side, a somewhat familiar voice sounded. Li Luo turned around suspiciously, but found Shi Senming standing not far from him, greeting him with a grin.

Li Luo also smiled and waved to Shi Senming.

"When you go to Guangzhou, do you have time to have morning tea together?"

Shi Senming took the initiative to extend the invitation.

Li Luo hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

"Then it's a deal! I forgot to add your vx last time. We will add a contact information after the lottery is over."

"it is good."

Li Luo smiled and agreed.

Few people in the circle would dislike Shi Senming's character.

The same is true for Li Luo.

Is RNG's social butterfly a waste of fame?

"Then it's settled!"

Shi Senming looked very happy and lively.

Li Luo stood for a while, and not long after, the person in charge of the draw for the knockout round walked onto the stage.

It is the mid laner icon of the OMG team.

Leng Shao was wearing a small suit, and his straight body looked quite stylish.

Soon, the host Yu Shuang, who was in charge of the lottery, came to the stage in a cheongsam. After a simple opening speech, the lottery officially began.

"According to the rules, teams that have collided in the group stage will not be assigned to the same half..."

After Yu Shuang explained the rules little by little, Leng Shao took the lead in drawing out the No.1 lottery of their respective teams.

The two top teams in the left half of the group are IG and LZ.

The two top teams in the right half of the group are SKT and RNG.

Seeing this grouping, many viewers secretly swallowed their saliva.

There is something wrong with this lottery.

Judging from the distribution of the top teams, as long as both the LPL and LCK teams enter the semi-finals...then there will be two BO5 battles between the LPL and the LCK!

And the next thing they have to pay attention to is undoubtedly the opponents that these four teams will face respectively.

In the second pool.

Leng Shao took out the first lottery.

The audience stared nervously at Young Master Leng's hand, and Young Master Leng slowly opened it.

The first sign, MSF.

"MSF team, the second-ranked team in Group B in the group stage, they can't be in the same half area as LZ, so their opponent is... SKT!"

Li Luo raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

This group seems familiar.

In my impression, the quarter-finals before Rebirth was also a collision between the Rabbits and SKT.

In this way, it is interesting.

The second team drawn by Leng Shao is C9.

Li Luo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"C9 team, the second seed team in Group D, they can't be in the same half as SKT, so their opponent is... IG!"

Many viewers at the scene were slightly relieved.

North American teams are always easier to deal with than Korean teams.

Although subconsciously, many teams hope that IG can draw SSG, and directly eliminate the weak No. [-] Korean team that was double-killed by RNG.

But on the one hand, they cannot change the result of the lottery, and on the other hand, the South Korean team's civil war is also a scene that many viewers want to see.

Although the third and fourth picks have not yet been drawn, the result is basically a foregone conclusion.

It is impossible for SSG to be in the same half as RNG, so their opponent can only be LZ.

And when SSG's lottery appeared, Cuvee, the top laner representing SSG, also showed a wry smile.

When they were in China, they were beaten up by LZ.

I didn't expect to meet him so early in the World Championship.

RNG met their old enemy... FNC.

So far, all the games from eight to four have been released.

The duel between IG and C9 will be held the day after the opening of the semifinals.

"C9, water ghost."

Li Luo looked at the word match on the big screen and smiled meaningfully.

Of the teams that lost in the S5 World Championships, only C9 remained.

　Come, come, I'm late for a while, there will be more changes starting tomorrow, and I will strive to have them every day before the end of the World Championship~
