what the hell

Chapter 316 You Can't Count On The Fourth Seed, Right?
The schedule of the first two days was relatively easy for LPL.

After the collision between EDG and SKT, the strength began to emerge.

Day three.

RNG, which got a 2-2 start from Europe's No. 0 seed G[-] and Vietnam's big brother GAM, will play against SSG.

IG, who easily defeated North American IMT and European Rabbit MSF, faced the strongest dark horse LZ in the LCK.

"It mainly depends on RNG, IG has no chance."

The factory manager held a bowl of ice powder and muttered while eating: "You can't expect the No. [-] seed to beat the No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] seeds all over again, and finally enter the final."

This is a common thought among commentators, spectators, and even members of other professional clubs.

Actually, let alone the fourth seed.

The No. [-] and No. [-] seeds in many divisions are counting, and even the No. [-] seed does not receive enough attention.

What's more, IG's entry into the World Championship is a ride on the expansion of the competition system.

Inside LPL, EDG is the first gear.

RNG and WE are the second gear.

IG can only be regarded as a strong player in the third tier, and it has not yet reached the level of "outstanding player".

And the third tier in the mainstream division... Is there any fundamental difference from the strongest wild card team?
At least in the perception of most people, no.

Even if IG kills IMT and MSF in a row, it is still not enough to change the impression.

and so.

RNG and SSG are the focus of today's battle.

lineup.

SSG is on the blue side, with a combination of top laner Dashu, wild boar girl, mid laner Ryze, and bottom laner Mouse Gallo.

RNG is on the red side, top laner Galio, jungle prince, mid laner Syndra, and bottom laner Xiaopao Fengnv.

In the first 10 minutes, RNG's three lanes all took advantage.

But that's really nothing.

LPL is good at fighting, while LCK focuses on operations.

In the early stage of the game, the LPL team could easily take the lead on the scene.

However, if there is a little carelessness in the next step, the LCK team will use various methods to get in.

In particular, RNG led by 10 yuan in 2000 minutes, and still led by 10 yuan in [-] minutes. The gap did not widen at all, and it cast a shadow on the hearts of onlookers.

Until 24 and a half minutes...

RNG imitated the "pocket" formation arranged in the middle when SKT and EDG played, and first caught Luo who came over to make a vision.

Then enter chase mode.

UZI, who uses a small cannon, took the lead and rushed to the forefront of the team.

One person stood in the face of the entire SSG team, leaving all the other members of RNG behind.

Kill the Remnant Blood Pig Girl.

Cooperate with Syndra EQ to push the ball and the wind girl flashes the blow, take away the mouse and Ryze one after another, and easily get Baron Nash.

And when the second tower is still there, forcefully rush to the high ground to start a group.

In five seconds, the four main players of SSG were melted away, and the game ended in one wave.

"It's beautiful!" Ah Shui clapped her hands.

"It's really beautiful. These two groups have the same style as I did back then." The factory manager commented.

"Brother Chang, can you explain Clearlove Run?" Dao Xing was very curious.

"I call it strategic retreat, do you understand strategic retreat?" The factory manager spread his hands without changing his face: "When you can't fight, you must preserve your vitality, especially the jungler, because the jungler will definitely order rune affinity, BUFF 15% longer duration, more effective than other positions."

"Brother Changzi, the older you get, the thicker your skin." Xing Dao couldn't help complaining.

"It's being blackmailed by you little... kid!" The factory manager scolded with a smile.

Made a few jokes.

The EDG players checked the sponsored products on their bodies again.

After making sure that the dress is correct and that you won’t be charged a five-figure fine for missing a few bits and pieces, you board the bus and head to the stadium.

Because of the rush hour, there is a little traffic jam.

The ten-minute journey took half an hour abruptly.

When they arrived at Wuhan Sports Center and entered the arena along the dedicated passage, bursts of cheers came from the direction of the main stage.

Enter the lounge.

In the center of the monitor, an extremely astonishing picture appeared.

——IG faced LZ and played an 8-1 head-to-head ratio, and was storming the high ground with the Baron BUFF.

"Isn't it?"

Abu wiped his eyes: "Can IG beat LZ like this?"

"They all exploded in the Ueno." BP coach Maokai looked at the data: "Cuzz was so sleepwalking during the training match, maybe it wasn't acting..."

Top position.

The shy is 4-1-1.

Khan is 1-3-0.

Jungle aspect.

Ning is 3-0-5.

Cuzz is 0-3-1.

The LZ Ueno duo sent out six kills, and the double C didn't develop well, making it impossible to fight in the mid-term team battle.

"Good news!" Abu cheered up.

SKT and SGG are well-known veteran teams with relatively fixed styles.

Strong, true.

But not too many variables.

Belonging is strong within the scope of understanding.

Relatively speaking, it is easier to deal with.

And the strongest dark horse LZ has always competed head-to-head.

As an LCK team, they won the first place in the division based on their fighting ability alone. No one can say whether they are hiding a top-level operation.

but.

Judging by the performance of the training game and this game.

Cuzz, the jungler who has amazed the world since his debut, should really be sleepwalking.

It didn't take long.

IG has found another opportunity to start a war.

The shy and Ning rushed into the crowd unreasonably, and directly took away BDD in the mid laner position.

Sapphire makes up follow-up control.

Rookie and Sima's old thief have no pressure to output, and their damage is full.

Playing 0 for 5, leveling the base with a strengthened line of troops, got an extremely crucial point from LZ.

"Congratulations IG!"

Baby's voice came from the commentary booth: "If we win this game, IG will be the same as RNG, leading the group with a 3-0 record, and it is very likely to qualify as the number one in the group."

"I really didn't expect IG to play so well today." Miller recalled the battle situation: "Ning protected near the top lane the whole time, completed a gank and two back squats, which helped The shy establish a very large advantage, and then achieved victory."

"The fourth seed beat the first seed, and the pressure is on the LCK side."

"That's right, the third day of the group stage, we still have a record of [-]% against the LCK, and WE will never lose to the LCK team... because there is no group D." Wa Wa joked.

"Perfect start." Miller changed the topic: "However, don't be careless, because no matter the LCK or European and North American teams, the adjustment ability is very good."

"The performance of the second round may be very different from the first round."

"Everyone should have an impression of the previous World Finals."

After summarizing.

Come to the MVP selection and post-match interview stage.

EDG has already walked to the front desk with the guidance of the staff to check the peripheral equipment.

This step must be taken seriously.

Even if peripheral failure is a low-probability event among low-probability events, it may not be encountered several times a year in the entire competition area.

But as long as it appears, the flowing rhythm will be interrupted.

Give the opponent with a blank mind a chance to take a breath, adjust his state and wait for an opportunity to come back.

After confirming that it is correct, enter the custom room created by the OB account.

Adjust the floor you are on.

Everything is ready, enter the Ban/Pick, start the third game of the group, and the match against the third seeded C9 team in North America!

　It's a bit late, there's more tonight, don't wait...
