LOL: I can hear the enemy team chatting!

Chapter 522: Top 4, versus IG!

The civil war at the beginning of the LPL also made all the teams in the LCK breathe a sigh of relief.

They would rather face strong teams like T1 and EDG, but are not willing to face IG directly.

In their opinion, a team like IG was born for the world stage.

The bigger the stage, the greater the potential.

A sweep in the S8 era.

During the S9 era, even if their form was not good, they could still abuse LCK teams.

Bloodline suppression is not just talk.

So now, as long as they don't match up with IG, they are still very confident.

Now that this risk has been taken away by EDG, they are naturally very relaxed.

After Jiang Zhou accepted the reality, he started to draw the next lottery.

JDG’s opponent, DRX!

DRX's performance this year is not bad, but it has been steadily outperformed by T1 in the LCK division.

But entering the group stage they were undefeated.

Of course, it's also because there is no strong team in Group C.

I originally thought that TES could beat them twice, but I didn't expect that they would be eliminated in the group stage...

So their strength has not yet been fully demonstrated.

However, no one can underestimate LCK's second seed.

As the third seed of LPL, JDG feels that their strength is about the same compared to DRX's status. As long as they take it seriously, they still have a certain chance.

So now, they are also preparing carefully. Since they have not drawn a relatively weak team, they must rely on their own strength if they want to advance to the semi-finals.

And soon, the draw for the second half of the division also ended.

T1's fight against GG is an old scene, and this civil war is not too difficult for them.

The key is that it is not difficult for DK to fight RGE.

Basically, the two teams T1 and DK have already determined the top four, and if they want to advance to the finals, they will have another civil war.

This is also good news for the LPL.

Both sides have a civil war, so there will always be attrition between the strong ones. The attrition of other teams is good news for them.

And the final game process is determined.

EDGvsIG
DRXvsJDG
T1vsGG
DKvsRGE
Four BO5 games, each representing a showdown between the world’s strongest teams.

Everyone is definitely waiting to see.

The first game was a heavyweight one.

And a week later, the two sides started an LPL civil war at the Hongqiao Sports Center, which was also a replica of this year's summer finals.

It depends on whether IG can seize the opportunity to take revenge this time.

If they can get revenge, they will have a chance to compete for the world championship again this year.

But if EDG wins...

So the legend of Jiang Zhou continues!

So both sides have reasons to win.

This week is very critical.

Both sides are also frantically looking for teams for training.

It is important to maintain your composure at this time.

Because both teams know each other very well, what they are good at, what tactics they like to use, and how to play the rhythm after the start.

Now it's not about how to break the opponent's rhythm, but how to play what you are good at.

That night, everyone got into a crazy training rhythm.

EDG feels a big crisis here.

The official summer split of their game against IG actually consisted of seven rounds.

But overall, they only won the three games of the finals and lost the other four games.

Moreover, in the training matches between the summer splits, EDG also lost more than they won.

Many of the winners were also lost by IG.

If you want to win IG, you can only rely on Jiangzhou to explode.

But this is the World Championship, so we can’t always rely on Jiang Zhou’s explosion to win, right?

Even if Jiang Zhou can explode, it will be in vain if the four of them don't work hard.

So now the other four positions are also very critical.

What we need to do now is to make the other four positions stronger, at least to match the strength of Jiang Zhou!

Even the factory director is starting to look for status.

Three days later, he also participated in the training match.

Jiejie is very selfless in this regard.

He was under great pressure.

During the Xia Jue, his jungler seemed to be arrested by King Ning. Now facing IG again, he is not very confident. It is good for him to have the factory director to share some of the pressure.

While they were entering into crazy training, IG was not idle either.

I am also looking for a similar opponent to the EDG team.

It’s easy to find opponents on IG’s side.

Just bring one over from LCK.

Anyway, they don't have many tactics themselves. They just need to find an opponent of comparable strength to fight.

What they didn't expect was that T1 agreed to them very easily.

You must know that in the past, it was difficult to schedule T1 training matches.

And T1 used to feel that IG didn't have many tactics at all, but it's different now.

In the entire World Championship, IG is probably the best at operations.

That's right, at this time in T1 I want to improve my team members' operational abilities.

This was proposed by Faker.

Because in this year's World Championship, he is still very confident, not only understanding his opponents but also understanding himself.

So now, there is no need for them to practice tactics or anything like that. Some things have been practiced in advance, and it will never work to just improvise.

Now it is about learning the micro-management of the opponent and practicing the operations of the other four teenagers.

And this is what these four players are best at.

Sometimes Zeus is pulled away, and Oner is sometimes sleepwalked.

Keria and Gumayusi may sometimes be suppressed online, but no matter what, these people's operations in team battles are still very good.

This is also the reason why T1 selected the four of them.

It just relies on Faker as the center, and then a few young players who are good at operations will cooperate.

Tactics, T1 has them.

Faker has experience.

So it just needs to be done.

If you listen to Faker's command during the battle, you can win.

This is why these four young generals are called sand soldiers.

When Jiang Zhou heard the news, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. T1 seemed to be on the right path.

Although this year's Destiny Child is DRX, it is difficult to guarantee whether the two teams T1 and IG will explode.

What's even more frightening is that the two teams are jointly conducting training matches in private.

However, it is impossible for EDG to ask IG to conduct training matches.

You can only find GG and DK.

There is no need for RGE, there is no need, it is just a life of 3:0.

EDG also became nervous.

Fortunately, at this time, the factory director's training match data also came up. Against the LCK team, some of the factory director's experience actually played a key role.

This can be regarded as one of the few good news.

There's still one day left before the quarterfinals begin.

Various celebrities and anchors on the Internet have also begun to predict and analyze the game between IG and EDG.

Even though the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, there is always a high or low score.

Who will be eliminated?
This is a very cruel fact.

Because these two teams are both seed teams that are very capable of competing for the World Championship.

It was just bad luck that we met in the quarter-finals.

As the first UP leader released detailed data, the predicted winning rate of EDG on the Internet was only 3.80%.

Barely considered a 64.

Therefore, 3% of the anchors, hosts, and commentators who predicted it all predicted 2:, and IG would win.

Because although IG did not defeat EDG in the summer finals, Jiang Zhou's performance was too perfect.

Now that IG has been tempered by the World Championship, it should not give EDG more opportunities like before. And another reason why everyone subconsciously thinks that EDG will not be IG's opponent is that T1 beat EDG 2:0.

This impact is huge.

Because currently, the only opponents EDG has won are C9 and FNC, which have been eliminated.

No one is stronger.

Without facing a strong opponent, it would be difficult to see how valuable this team is.

Can this team adapt to the World Championship?
It's really a problem.

TES seemed confident before the game, and coach BSYY even bluntly stated that he believed his team could enter the Bird's Nest.

Didn't he just make it to the top 16 and leave in despair?

The EDG team's configuration doesn't seem to be a championship-winning configuration.

Led by only Jiang Zhou, the champion of the S competition, there are relatively few champions among the teams that have entered the quarterfinals.

How can I win IG, which has won the championship twice?

Although one of the championships was won by Jiang Zhou with IG.

But except for the AD position, the other four players really have no chance to compare with IG in terms of strength.

So 3:2 is already quite a favor to EDG.

Jiang Zhou earned this face alone.

EDG base.

midnight.

After Jiang Zhou finished playing RANK on the trumpet, he returned to his dormitory and saw that the coaching room was still lit.

I took a curious look, which coach is still working so hard in the middle of the night?

I stretched my head and took a look. No surprise, he was the official factory director.

"Director, why don't you take a break?" Jiang Zhou asked with a smile.

The factory director looked at the screen. There was a big word "Failure" on it.

"Do you think my decision to play tomorrow is right or wrong?" The factory director is also very confused now.

If Xia Jue was to appear on his own, it would just be a warm-up and fun.

But this is the World Championship. If I appear again, will the audience think that I am relying on my old age and trying to gain popularity?
Jiang Zhou smiled, "Why do you care so much? Director, this may be our only opportunity now."

"Just five games, maybe less than five games, will determine whether our efforts this year are effective... It's cruel, isn't it, but this is also our opportunity."

"If you regard tomorrow's game as your last World Championship before retiring, will you go?"

Jiang Zhou's two sentences made the factory director suddenly enlightened.

"Go, I will go even if I lose!"

The factory director was very excited.

Jiang Zhou nodded and said: "Jiejie is inexperienced, so the BO5 game is very stressful. In the end, his concentration may not be so high, so we still have to consider this risk. Let you appear in the first game, let It’s for his own good that he’s checking the situation in the audience.”

If anyone else had said this, Jiejie would definitely be the first to be unconvinced.

But Jiang Zhou is different.

Whether it was Jiang Zhou's performance or his insight into the game, Jiejie admired him.

He even felt that Jiang Zhou's jungler definitely didn't need to be bad.

Moreover, it is already a feat for Jiangzhou to lead old and weak people like them into the World Championship. Jiejie himself will not say anything.

The factory director nodded and said: "I understand!"

He casually turned off his computer.

At the same time, at the IG base.

Rookie and Ah Shui also entered the dormitory at the same time to rest.

In tomorrow's battle, both sides will be very cautious.

This day has come.

Although the LPL audience is particularly willing to see this situation.

But helpless.

This is Jiang Zhou's luck...

Hongqiao Sports Center.

The most lively competition of the year is ushered in.

At this time, buses from both sides entered the underground parking lot at the same time.

After getting off the bus, the solemn faces of a dozen people were instantly replaced by smiling faces.

Of course, IG mainly greets Jiang Zhou.

"Jiang! Looks like you had a good night with whomever you slept with last night! I didn't sleep well all night!"

"How about a concession in this game?"

"Let? Do you believe that I will be beaten with a club when I go out?"

Jiang Zhou greeted several people from IG.

Although he has only been with IG for one year, and it has been less than two years since his debut, Jiang Zhou has basically friends all over the major clubs.

Who doesn't like such an AD!
The factory manager looked envious.

I have been playing in the LPL for such a long time, but I still haven’t made friends all over the world.

This guy doesn't seem to be here to play a game, but to be a friend.

A group of people entered the lounge arm-in-arm and then separated.

This separation.

In a few hours it will be a matter of who lives and who dies.

So Rookie still held Jiang Zhou's hand tightly, "Don't let it go, we can win."

Jiang Zhou was stunned, "That's not necessarily true. I have Brother Shengqiang, Brother Huzi, Sister Control, Jiejie, and the factory director. They will lead me to win."

The two men laughed.

It can be seen that both sides are very confident in their teammates.

So let’s see the real chapter now.

They were given half an hour to prepare.

But now they don't have to prepare anymore.

That's not necessary.

All that needs to be done is done.

A group of people on EDG closed their eyes to rest and adjust their state.

Jiang Zhou is also frantically thinking about how to deal with IG.

Because when the IG team plays in a group, 70% of the time they do it on a whim.

He must keep his mind clear at all times so that he can direct his teammates.

And yesterday, EDG announced their first lineup, and the jungler is the director.

The LPL team is not surprised.

During the summer finals, EDG played like this. They directly asked the factory director to play a game first to test the waters, and let Jiejie find opportunities in the audience.

It's normal to play like this this time.

On the other hand, fans of those foreign teams were a little surprised.

"Ah? Kelelawu? Isn't he the coach? Why did he suddenly become the jungler?"

"Look at this year's LPL summer split, they just let him play!"

"What? The coach is warming up?"

Don't blame them for being surprised.

After all, the factory director has not appeared on the world stage for a long time.

Many people have even forgotten him.

The sudden appearance now also surprised everyone.

However, there are no surprises for the LCK team.

They have already watched the LPL Summer Finals, so naturally they will not be too surprised.

Soon, both sides appeared.
