LOL: I can hear the enemy team chatting!

"Huh? EDG and T1?"

"Let me go, does this have to be so exciting?"

"Isn't it a bit too exaggerated? It's like a king meeting a king. It's awesome! I like this kind of plot!"

"Haha, the unlucky ones are FNC and the next unlucky guy coming out of the playoffs! Can EDG and T1 book the top two spots in the group stage?"

"I think it's quite annoying. When these two teams fight, T1 actually has a huge advantage. They have one veteran and four newcomers, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. I'm a little worried about EDG. After all, there are two old people, and they have a bit of strength. Not enough!”

"The four young players in T1 have gone through a lot of learning. Their current strength is unfathomable. This group A is really a death group!"

"Group A is very simple, but some other groups are not much better. This year's World Championship is the most fiercely contested in history. No matter which group you go to, you will encounter strong opponents. If you want to advance to the quarterfinals You can only look at your true abilities..."

As the group quotas were announced, although the audience was worried, they also knew that this road would not be easy.

The last unlucky guy in Group A is C9.

And other groups have also been announced.

A: EDG, T1, C9, FNC
B: JDG, DK, G2, EG
C:DRX,RGE,TES,GAM
D:GG,IG,100,CFO
in the hearts of the audience.

Both groups AB are undoubtedly death groups.

The teams here are all top in each division, and their strength is not very different. If you want to climb out of it, you won't be able to climb out without some strength and luck.

On the other hand, there is not much suspense for teams C and D.

The teams in the LPL and LCK divisions still have great advantages.

Of course, if you underestimate the enemy at this point, it is easy to stay in the top 16 forever.

Therefore, even if your opponents in the same group do not seem to be strong, you should give them enough respect and take every game seriously. After all, you never know whether you will be unable to advance by a small point.

There are four teams in each group, and each team needs to compete in a BO1 with other teams. In the end, the top two teams in points will advance to the knockout rounds.

It can be said that it is still very cruel.

Six games and three opponents not only tested the players' ability, but also tested the ability of the club's behind-the-scenes staff.

How to quickly help the team get favorable heroes in a BO1 situation is also a science!

With the draw concluded.

The group stage is also held three days later.

EDG's opponent on the first day is T1!

Compared with the qualifying rounds, this is the real atmosphere of the World Championships.

In order to prepare for the group stage, EDG also desperately studied some data from the finals and the lineup that T1 is good at in the summer split.

It's just that the T1 team is not that easy to study.

This team is good at many tactics.

During the Spring Split, Jiang Zhou was there, and even relying on his status as champion AD, he was often asked to cooperate with tactics.

In the summer split, the appearance of Gumayusi also allowed Dr. K in the bottom lane to come up with more fancy things.

There are even auxiliary cores.

Policewomen will even be brought in as assistants.

The lineup is even more spectacular.

So for a while, EDG had no way to figure out how this team wanted to play.

Inside the base.

The factory director asked curiously: "Jiang Zhou, when you were at their base, what did you think of Tuan and the others?"

Jiang Zhou thought for a while and said: "Professional! Very professional. Countless details throughout the club show this. They will develop their own routes and tactics based on the players' personal characteristics, ideas, and data. "

"They rarely study their opponents, but are always engaged in development. This is something we cannot match, and Keria often has some new ideas."

"When I was in their team, because I was the core, he made some suggestions that were rarely used, but it can be seen from the results of the summer split that they now know more and more things..."

Jiang Zhou expressed his worries.

Facing the team T1.

He has a lot of experience and his personal strength is very strong.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for you to target T1. If you want to defeat them, you have to find some tactics to develop yourself and catch them off guard.

The factory director fell into deep thought.

But now, it is impossible for them to develop tactics here.

They have already tried their best to win the summer championship. At this time, they no longer have the energy to think about developing some new tactics.

Jiang Zhou added: "But they study new tactics, and sometimes they lose the game because of this, so we don't need to put too much pressure. Soldiers come to block the water and the soil covers it. This is just the group stage."

Jiang Zhou keenly felt that his teammates were a little worried.

It's a bit stressful.

Obviously, winning the summer championship did not increase enough confidence for everyone.

Jiang Zhou knew that now was not the most stressful time for him, so he was the only one who had to work hard.

And that was all he could do.

Relying on your own ability, finding opportunities on the spot, and predicting T1 in advance is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Within these three days, EDG frantically contacted teams from other groups for training.

The opening day of the group stage soon arrived.

Everyone on EDG also came to the city of roujiamo.

This is not LPL, choose to play games at your home court.

For the World Championships, we must follow official arrangements.

And T1 also arrived early.

5 people are in very good condition.

It was not their first time coming to such a big country, but they were still shocked. On the first day, they found that they had not left XA City after taking a taxi for two hours!
This city is so big!
You know, their country can be crossed by car in 7 hours.

But here, if you sit for 7 hours, you may not even go out...

And...you don’t need to eat the skin of the watermelon here...

So Dr. K showed off two watermelons like crazy on the first day. If the team had not had a nutritionist, this guy would have had diarrhea the next day.

On the first day, I had hot pot and iced watermelon, and you couldn’t bear it even if you had a strong stomach.

After the initial surprise.

T1 also quickly entered the state.

The conditions Tencent Esports offers them are similar to those they have in their own base, or even better.

After all, the dishes provided to the players here are buffet dishes, which are provided in unlimited quantities every day.

The food here cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

If they didn't have extremely high professionalism, they might not be able to control their stomachs on the first day.

After entering the state, they also trained like crazy, and they took the first game of the group stage very seriously.

After all, this is their former teammate, and they know their strength very well. Their club attaches great importance to the performance of the bottom lane.

If they can win the first game with their bottom lane performance, then their chances of entering the Bird's Nest and winning the S1 championship will increase a lot.

While EDG was studying them, they were also studying EDG.

"The games they win are basically based on the performance of the bottom lane, so the key point is still in the bottom lane. As long as they disperse their people in the bottom lane, we have a great chance to win tomorrow's game!"

Stupid chicken has studied EDG’s game.

Faker also trusts his judgment very much.

Don’t say anything else.

Wasn't it the same when Jiang Zhou was in T1?

Their bottom lane is often targeted by other LCK teams.

Basically, there are two things about Faker.

Either to protect his teammates, or to rush forward and create output opportunities for his teammates.

Things become very simple.

And can EDG protect Jiang Zhou now? this is a problem!
They have already made initial preparations.

This is what T1 clubs are like.

Not only are the players very strong, but the people behind the scenes are also very powerful. By studying a large amount of data, they can find effective breakthrough points.

Gumayusi said: "Brothers, what should I play tomorrow? Policewoman? Or Aphelios? Or Senna?"

Faker smiled and said: "If you play Senna or Aphelios, you will never get any advantage in the bottom lane. The policewoman may have a chance, but we have already used the policewoman in the summer split. They should not It will be given to us, so be mentally prepared. You may not get the hero you want tomorrow, but don’t worry, I will target Jiang Zhou.”

Gumayusi nodded.

He already thought of those dark days.

When Jiang Zhou was in the club, he would sit on the bench obediently, for a season, a whole season + one MSI!

A full 87 days!
He calculated this day very clearly.

Now the time for revenge has come!

He was even a little excited and didn't go to bed until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, this is his normal life, and their game only starts at seven o'clock in the evening.

There is enough time for him to adjust.

The day before the group stage started, I don’t know how many professional players had insomnia.

But the next day soon came.

Follow normal game procedures.

The group stage begins.

This first game is C9 versus FNC, which is also a civil war in Group A.

So in the first game, EDG also studied it carefully as an audience.

These two teams will also be their opponents later.

You can also learn about the two teams’ understanding of the world in the version.

The result was that FNC won.

The one I took was Ornn + Big Tree, the Tsar in the middle, and the combination of Aphelios and Lenata in the bottom lane.

This kind of lineup focuses on being solid.

C9's lineup is somewhat confident.

The top laner is a sword girl, the jungler is a pig girl, the middle lane is a witch, and the bottom lane is a female gun + Titan.

There is actually not much difference between the lineups of both sides. The key is that C9 has some strength in the late stage.

The enchantress cannot steal people, so she can only fail.

The match between the two sides was very exciting and inspired many teams in the World Championship.

After the match between these two teams, there will be a match in Group B.

JDG beat DK.

It's also a very exciting game.

Both sides are the third seeds in their respective divisions. In everyone's eyes, these two teams are equally matched, and both have the ability to win the championship.

The annual World Championship does not mean that the regional champion will 100% win the World Championship.

There are also cases where the third and fourth seeds counterattack.

Moreover, these two teams, JDG and DK, also look like champions.

So their game on the first day also attracted a lot of attention.

domestic.

LPL viewers are still a little worried about JDG's strength.

DK has some great people encouraging them to join, and with the addition of Xu Xiu and Sanshu, it becomes a combination of three world champions.

They don’t even have a world champion here?

Under such circumstances, DK naturally has the advantage in terms of mentality. If you want to win, you need to work hard in all aspects.

But this time, the Hongmi coach can be said to have made a great contribution.

They have worked hard on selecting players, and it can be seen that they are fully prepared for today's game.

The top laner is Ornn, the jungler gunner, the midlane Czar, and the bottom laner is Kashagariel. The main focus is a solid one, taking care of everything in the early, middle and late stages.

On the DK side, there are crocodiles, big trees, rock birds, Verus and Lenata.

The jungler Dashu is really popular in this World Championship version.

Not only can it resist damage, but it can also help the opponent with its ultimate move, and Asian Bundle can easily kill it once it is released.

The LPL team obviously doesn't have much defense against the big trees in the jungle.

After all, this jungler did not appear in the summer split.

So I was caught off guard at first.

There are too many point controls on the opposite side.

Crocodiles, big trees, and a rock bird. As long as these two people can control one of them, the rock bird can be lifted back from the rock in an instant.

Coupled with the output, DK did have a great advantage in the early stage.

Even at 15 minutes, they were leading with a head ratio of 9:4 and an economy of .

It can be said that the LPL audience is ready to start taunting GG.

After all, the Ornn on 369 was beaten like a grandson by a cow encouraging a crocodile, and there was no way he could take action.

But fortunately, they still relied on their own resilience to delay the game until the later stages.

In the later stage, it was the world of the Tsar and Kasha.

The damage of Xu Xiu's Rock Bird was already a bit insufficient. The only one on the opposite team was a crocodile, which was easily defended by Riel. He was even half-healthy as soon as he rushed over.

So in the later stage, Czar, who relied on toothpaste, and Kai'Sa from Hope, suddenly made a comeback!
This actually made the LPL audience a little excited.

"Beautiful!"

"There's something!"

"I won the first point of LPL today!"

"Okay, currently LPL1:0LCK! We are the champions!"

"Don't worry, this is only the first day of the group stage, just wait and see, this year's World Table Tennis Championships champion will definitely be T1."

There are still many viewers who feel that this year's championship is not so easy to win.

The strength of T1 cannot be underestimated.

There are also GG and DRX!
Moreover, DK obviously underestimated the enemy in this game. The lineup was not good, and the BP was completely defeated by Redmi.

This is not due to the players, but to the coach!
But after all, this is a victory and worthy of encouragement.

After this game, other games will not attract everyone's attention.

Because the main event is coming.

EDG plays T1!

This is a battle at the top of the group of death.

Both teams are the summer champions of their respective divisions, and the two teams are also familiar with each other. They are old rivals and have met many times in the World Championship.

Xiaohu can't count how many times he was arrested by Faker in the World Championship.

It has almost become a nightmare for me. I met again today. Although I have done a lot of psychological preparation in advance, I am still a little nervous.

If he didn't have a god-level teammate like Jiang Zhou to help him, he might not have any confidence at all.

Of course, the more important thing to watch is Jiang Zhou.

After all, he is T1's former AD, and he led T1 to win the MSI championship.

Now we meet as rivals in the World Championship.

Can you kill your former club?
This is more interesting! (End of chapter)
