LOL: I can hear the enemy team chatting!

Chapter 301 The first battle of the group!
The group stage grouping of the World Championship is still very fast.

No one from the team participated in the draw, so the announcement started directly.

Group A: DK, FPX, RGE, MAD
Group B: T1, EDG, 100, DFM
Group C: RNG, HLE, PSG, FNC
Group D: IG, GG, C9, TL
This group was divided into groups, which instantly made everyone feel special.

Group A seems to be the easiest group. The powerful DK seems to have no opponent at all.

The other groups are still interesting.

T1 in Group B met EDG. It can be said that there is still something to play. The No. 100 seed in LCK met the No. [-] seed in LPL. It was definitely a strong alliance. The DFM team can be ignored. The [-] team is still somewhat capable, but not Just a little bit.

Group C does not seem to have much difference in strength. After all, RNG is the runner-up in the LPL Spring Split and the third seed in the LPL. As long as their performance is relatively stable, there is not much problem in advancing to the quarterfinals.

As for Group D, in the eyes of LPL fans, it is just one word, stable!

GG, the third seed, C9 came up through the playoffs, TL is the summer champion of the North American division, the first seed, and seems to have some ability.

The LPL audience also relaxed after seeing the group pool.

"Stable! I feel like I'm guaranteed to be in the top eight this year!"

"Four quarterfinals? I feel it's a bit risky. The three G teams have no problem, but FPX's state is really bad. MAD and RGE may capsize Little Phoenix."

"It doesn't matter. The minimum guarantee is three top eights. The perfect one is four top eights and two top fours! That's it!"

"This game is so interesting!"

"IG is stable! There are three rookies in Group D, how can you stop them?"

"Don't laugh, stop teasing first! What if something unexpected happens? IG is our number one seed. I really don't want to see IG capsize in the gutter!"

"Stay steady first to prevent poisonous milk!"

Although many people feel that this year is the year when LPL has the best chance to win the championship.

There is no way, the family is too rich.

In the past, there were only one or two teams that could take action, and they were not very strong and did not look like favorites for the championship.

But this year, there is no need to say more about IG.

Simply dominant.

Especially after winning the MSI championship, it can be said that it has great potential to win the championship.

EDG and RNG are not bad teams, so they are not as good as IG, but they can definitely achieve some good results.

At least one runner-up can be guaranteed this year.

As a result, some slogans were spread among players.

Unanimously out!
Baoya competes for the championship!

After the group stage was announced, 16 teams from all over the world also began to contact each other to play training matches.

I didn't play before because I was afraid that if everyone was in the same group pool and was forced to use a trick during a training match, it would be a bit troublesome.

But now that the group roster has been announced, everyone is relieved and can schedule training matches with each other without any scruples.

IG is the team that has received the most invitations to training matches among the sixteen teams.

After all, this team is the LPL champion and is more popular than T1.

Because this team is the one that everyone can’t see through the most.

If you can't understand or understand it, it means you don't understand this team.

But a team you don’t understand wins the championship, and that’s a big problem.

Therefore, other teams want to contact IG, play with it, and get a good understanding of IG's strength.

As for IG, I originally thought that as long as I was so strong, there wouldn't be too many teams playing training matches, but I didn't expect that around 10 teams would come to my door. The group stage started two days later, and they couldn't possibly be like this. Spend more time playing against these teams one by one.

Therefore, NOFE selected three teams and made an appointment.

100,HLE,FNC.

These three teams also come from three divisions.

There are LCK, European LEC, and North American LCS teams. The main reason is to feel the styles of these three divisions, but GG cannot do it. If they are in a group with them, even if they want to date, they will not win against the opponent.

The same goes for DK. Ever since they lost to them in the mid-season, they probably still hold grudges and have not taken the initiative to schedule training matches with them.

As for the LPL's own team, there is no need to make appointments. It's not necessary. Everyone knows each other too well.

And these three teams had three BO5s with IG one after another, and without exception, IG won them all.

It's just that the wins are a bit difficult, and it's all 3:2!

It seems that it has been discussed.

This result made NOFE's heart skip a beat.

Something is not right.

The night before the group stage started, Jiang Zhou was found.

"Jiang Zhou, your condition in the training match is not good! In our LPL, it's okay that your condition in the training match is not good, but wake up, this is the World Championship! The training match is related to our winning rate in the main game, you have to Make sure you are in good condition!"

NOFE is particularly anxious.

After all, Jiang Zhou is the soul of the IG team. If his condition is not good, then their team will be doomed!

The lower limit of their team can at least guarantee the top eight, but if Jiang Zhou's status is not online, it is likely to be the top eight at most.

Can NOFE not be in a hurry?

During the training match, Jiang Zhou did not conduct too much command. He relied entirely on hard power and personal operation. He even tried Aphelios. As a result, although they won, it was only 3:2.

These teams are not the No. 1 seeds in their respective divisions. They are tied 3:2 with these teams. How can they play against DK, EDG, and T1?

Jiang Zhou was also speechless, "Coach, don't worry... I will adjust it."

He didn't give his best in practice.

He completely regarded the training match as his own practice and wanted to practice his operations.

So I didn't use my abilities.

The three-to-two victory was entirely dependent on IG's tacit understanding, and he had no command at all.

In fact, he also intended to train his teammates' awareness.

In this World Championship, the intensity is at full capacity. I don’t have much energy to pay attention to that, and I have to let the players adapt to the rhythm of the World Championship.

But these cannot be said.

NOFE was still a little worried, and said before leaving the aisle, "Okay Jiang Zhou, I believe in you, have a good rest today. On the first day of the group stage, we will play against GG. GG is the third seed. We can't underestimate it. Their bottom lane Ruler is not weak." "

Jiang Zhou, who was preparing to rest in his room, shook his head helplessly.

I didn’t expect Coach NOFE to be so worried about his condition.

It can be felt that coach NOFE really wants to set a Grand Slam record this year.

If IG can create a Grand Slam, then he will also be the first coach in the world to achieve a Grand Slam for the first time in his coaching career!

Such an honor goes without saying.

He would be satisfied even if he retired where he was.

Caring about Jiang Zhou means caring about your own future!

Their dormitory is the same as in IG, Jiang Zhou and Rookie still share a room.

Rookie said: "I understand you, Jiang Zhou, you want to break out in the main game."

Jiang Zhou: "...Yes, brother, you are right!"

-

Silent all night.

the next day.

The World Championship group stage is officially here!

Starts at three in the afternoon.

There are 5 BO1 games every day, lasting for a week!
Each team will play two BO1 games with the other three teams in the group. The top two teams in points will advance to the quarterfinals. If the points are the same in the end, there will be a playoff.

Therefore, every BO1 game in the group stage is very critical, because you don't know which game you will lose and your team will not be able to advance.

The opening match of the group stage was given to DK in Group A against FPX.

The second game is IG vs. GG.

It's hard to tell whether this was intentional.It’s all LCK versus LPL!

The organizing committee that arranges the schedule understands traffic.

The first game attracted the attention of players from all over the world, as well as all teams in South Korea.

The LCK No. 2 seed is playing against the LPL No. 4 seed. Although there seems to be a disparity in strength, everyone knows that these two teams have played world championships. Maybe FPX can really find a chance to overthrow DK?
It's just that this game exceeded everyone's expectations.

In less than 10 minutes, there was an explosion of [-] people.

It looks intense, but in fact, it is a one-sided killing.

DK got 18 kills, FPX only had two.

First of all, there is the problem of BP. FPX allowed DK to produce many very powerful heroes, but the heroes he picked were not particularly strong. They were still the same as LPL, including Jayce, Prince, Galio, Kai'Sa, and Titan.

This seems to be a version that has not kept up with the World Championship at all.

And what about DK?The male gun in the top lane, the jungle troll, Xu Xiu’s mid laner Enchantress, the bottom lane, bounty hunter + cat.

DK chose the version, and FPX chose to believe in themselves.

But the results were tragic.

The entire scene was completely controlled by DK, especially after the game. Xu Xiu and Ghost in the bottom lane each got six kills and zero deaths.

The poisonous coin in the middle was Galio, who put out fires everywhere, but he also caught fire in the middle, and was killed by Xu Xiu's Enchantress alone, which was unable to provide any support at all.

Blood abuse!
The audience here in LPL is numb.

"Oh no, I know FPX is in very bad shape right now, but I didn't expect it to be so bad and to be so brutally beaten! It has no ability to fight back at all!"

"Trash! It's really trash!"

"The best mid laner in the world?"

"This is totally a blast! I have a bad feeling about it."

"It feels like DK is holding his breath because he wants to win the championship!"

"Leading the economy by 25 in 1 minutes! You gave me such a big surprise in the opening game of the World Group Stage. You are worthy of being your little Phoenix!"

"In the first game, LCK beat LPL violently. In this second game, can I rely on IG to regain my face?"

The pressure is on IG.

After all, their team has to worry about the honor of the LPL.

But at this time, LPL fans also got some news. Although it is gossip, it can be true.

The IG training match was not very strong, and it was only 3:2 against HLE!

The game hasn't even started yet, and everyone is worried.

"It's only 3:2 in a HLE game? HLE came out of the playoffs. IG's dominance is gone?"

"At least a 3:0 can match IG's current strength, but just a 3:2? I really have a bad feeling."

"It's going to be bad!"

Busan Stadium.

The venue for the World Championship group stage.

A journey to Busan without any head start will clear the clouds and mist and see the light.

IG also defeated KT in the semifinals and completed its evolution!
Now that I have revisited my old place, everyone on IG is still very emotional, and I almost want to recite a poem.

Ning Wang said: "Busan! It's not just zombies that are famous here."

Baolan said with a smile: "I still remember the details of playing KT back then. Before I knew it, it had already been three years. Time flies so fast!"

Several people showed nostalgic looks.

The memories of that year are attacking them again.

Jiang Zhou scratched his head. This seemed to have nothing to do with me.

"Come on!!"

NOFE reminds his team members.

The members of IG and GG appeared on the stage at the same time.

There were many spectators at the scene and the cheers were loud, but most of them were local LCK fans.

Jiang Zhou walked to the battle table and heard a lot of LCK spectators.

A female fan, with a GG sticker on her face, said, "IG, I heard they are very strong. Is that true?"

The boyfriend next to him snorted coldly, "Is IG strong? I heard it from someone. They are very strong in the LPL region, but when we come here, they can only be defeated. They just defeated HLE 3:2. GG is much more powerful than HLE, just watch it!"

"Just watch!"

The female fan nodded: "Okay, that one of them is so handsome! Who is he?"

Boy friend:"……"

-

GG is also well prepared.

Especially Ruler's eyes were very serious. Ever since S7 won the world championship, he had been very uncomfortable all the way and never won the championship again.

And now there are several other people who have not won any championships to support the scene.

Now GG relies on Ruler to support the entire family.

How far they can go this year depends on the performance of King Chi and mid laner BDD.

But what makes them a little worried is that IG's bottom lane is also very strong.

Those who are not professional players naturally don’t know that few people actually take the training matches seriously. The victory in the training matches is just a reference. In the previous World Championships, so many teams killed everyone in the training matches. When it comes to the official Sai Bu can only say goodbye.

So don't look at IG's training match performance as "poor", but for them, the pressure is also very high.

Emperor Chi was still very stressed.

domestic.

The live broadcast is ready.

The narration is also very familiar. Colonel Guan, remember, the Cat King.

At this time, Colonel Guan is still very confused. The whole world knows that he is a fan of GG, but this time GG is playing against the top seed of the LPL. In the eyes of all the teams in the World Championship, this is a powerful boss.

Can GG, the third seed, do it?
The senior colonel is really not very optimistic about it.

Moreover, he is originally the commentator of LPL, so it is not easy to say directly.

If you support IG, it's a bit against your will.

If you support GG, will LPL fans blame you?
So he wants to stay neutral today!

Colonel Guan: "Welcome everyone to the second game of the World Championship group stage, Gen.G vs. IG!"

"In the last game, FPX lost miserably to DK. In this game, can IG sound the clarion call to counterattack LCK? Let's wait and see, I don't care..."

"I'm the commentator remembering."

"I'm Cat."

The three commentators finished introducing themselves.

And everything on the screen came to the BP scene.

The two sides have entered the BP stage.

IG blue square.

BAN the cat, prince, and Kenan first.

For cats, Sapphire is not commonly used. Although it is a popular support in the World Championship, Sapphire has not been trained yet, so I don’t want to use it for the time being.

Prince and Kennen are also heroes often used by the opponent. They have high proficiency and can be banned directly.

On GG's side, Bronn, Luo, a green steel shadow, pressed directly.

It can be seen that they have studied IG.

Next, IG started selecting people.
