Stop contacting LPL, we are so unfamiliar!

Is the LPL region completely defeated? !
When the first day of the third round of the S10 Swiss Round ended on October 5, facing the situation where no LPL team could directly advance to the quarterfinals of the World Championship, some self-media published such an article.

And such a title quickly triggered a heated discussion among the majority of LPL fans, with some agreeing and some opposing.

The objection is because in the eyes of some LPL fans, even the remaining three teams in the LPL division failed to directly advance to the quarterfinals of the World Championship.

But with six seats left in the top eight, the three LPL teams will definitely be able to occupy three of them. There is no need for the self-media to start badmouthing the LPL as a whole now.

LPL fans who agree believe that even if the LPL team still has a chance to advance to the quarterfinals, today's result is equivalent to a big loss for the entire LPL division.

After all, you must know that among the four 2-0 teams, there are two LPL teams, but in the end, neither the champion Taobo nor the third place SN could complete the final breakthrough.

Besides, there is a gap between the top eight!

在HXA战队和DWG战队以3-0的瑞士轮全胜战绩晋级到八强之后，剩余的六个八强，他们的最终战绩就只能是3-1或者3-2。

No matter which one it is, it is a huge shame for the LPL region, which considers itself the best region in the world!

But no matter how LPL fans view the failure on October 10, the remaining games of the Swiss Round will still go on.

On October 10, the second day of the third round of the Swiss Round officially started. Today’s game will be four BO6 competitions between eight 1-1 teams.

In the first game, the JDG team took the lead to face the MAD team, and finally successfully defeated the fourth seed from the LEC division, which was able to earn some face for the LPL division.

In the second game, the FNC team faced the FLY team.

Although the FLY team is the No. 1 seed in the LCS division, because they are actually only the runner-up in the LCS summer split, when facing the FNC team, the runner-up in the LEC summer split, coupled with the LEC's consistent blood pressure on the LCS.

Therefore, the FNC team easily defeated the FLY team and successfully advanced to the 2-1 group.

In the third game, the third seed in the LCK division faced the second seed TSM team in the LCS division.

Although the TSM team is the summer champion of the LCS division, when they met the GEN team, the traditional strong team of the LCK, the TSM team, especially the big brother himself, finally showed signs of decline.

0-1, the TSM team finally lost to the GEN team and fell into the 1-2 group, just one step away from being eliminated.

In the fourth game, the G2 team, the No. seed in the LEC division, faced off against the DRX team, the No. seed in the LCK.

Although the DRX team is also considered a dark horse in this year's World Championship, this time, the Triple Crown champion G2 team did not disappoint the global audience and successfully defeated the DRX team!
On October 10th, the third day of the third round of the S7 Swiss Round continued. Today is a BO10 competition between two 0-2 teams. In other words, whoever loses the game will be eliminated immediately. And bid farewell to the S3 World Championship stage.

I thought the two games would be very exciting and intense, but unexpectedly, both games were one-sided.

In the first game, the PSG team defeated the TL team 2-0. In the second game, the ROG team defeated the UOL team 2-0.

Although the TL team is the third seed in the LCS division, its performance is actually no different from the UOL team in the wild card division.

And this result immediately shocked all the opponents in other divisions, because in this case, the combat effectiveness displayed by the two teams in the PCS division was really amazing!
After today's two BO3 games, the draw for the fourth round of the Swiss round began soon, and the remaining twelve teams were divided into two groups, 2-1 and 1-2, according to their records.

After a short one-day rest, the fourth round of the S10 Swiss Round started again on October 9.

Because all subsequent games involve promotion or elimination, the competition in each game has changed from the previous B01 to B03.

At the same time, due to the length of the game, the six BO3 duels had to be divided into three days.

In the first game of the first day, the SN team faced off against the JDG team. It was a civil war between LPL divisions.

In the end, the SN team performed an outstanding performance, successfully defeated the JDG team 2-1, and became the third team to advance to the quarterfinals of the S10 World Championship.

In the second game of the first day, the G2 team played against the GEN team. It seemed to be a repeat of the S7 World Championship finals. In fact, judging from the results, it was indeed a repeat of the S7.

2-1, the G2 team defeated the GEN team again after three years and became the fourth team to advance to the quarterfinals of the S10 World Championship.

On October 10, the second day of the fourth round of the Swiss Round continued.

In the first game, the TES team faced the FNC team.

For LPL fans, this game should be easy to win, but in fact, the entire game process was extremely thrilling, and the result was also shocking!

Because when the TES team won the first game, the FNC team finally completed the handicap to the TES team!

And to be honest, if it weren't for 369 Sai En sacrificing his life to save the savior in the first game, the TES team would have ended up with a 2-0 shutout!

For a moment, LPL fans cursed the TES team, and their mood became even more desperate.

Because at this moment, what they are thinking of is clearly the LGD team, the summer champion of the S5 era!

Will this year's Summer Split champion team Taobo really repeat the mistake of five years ago and be eliminated in the Swiss round and go home?

But except for LPL fans, no one cares about the life and death of the TES team, because the second game then entered a life-and-death contest between three 1-2 teams.

After all, although you won't be able to advance after winning this BO3, if you lose, you will also be eliminated.

The second game was a civil war from the LCS division. In the end, the TSM team, which was also the phantom god of the civil war, defeated the FLY team again.

While ruthlessly eliminating the teams in the same division, he also retained his last hope of advancing to the quarterfinals.

On October 10, the third day of the fourth round of the S11 Swiss Round finally started.

In the first game, the PSG team seemed to be influenced by the HXA team. They once again played bravely and defeated the fourth seed MAD team in the LEC division with a record of 2-1.

In the second game, the DRX team lived up to the expectations of LCK fans and also defeated the third seed ROG team in the LEC division with a record of 2-1.

At this point, the fourth round of the S10 Swiss Round is all over. Five teams have advanced to the quarterfinals, five teams have been eliminated, and the last three quarterfinals seats will be born among the last six 2-2 teams.

As for the schedule, Riot officials did not give any rest time to the six teams. After the fifth round draw ceremony of the Swiss Round, the next day, October 10, the last match day of the Swiss Round officially arrived.

In the first game, the GEN team faced the PSG team. I thought that in this game, the PSG team would continue their heroic performance, but when faced with the Shakespeare-style operation of the GEN team, the PSG team still failed in the end.

In the end, the GEN team defeated the PSG team and became the sixth team to advance to the quarterfinals of the S10 World Championship.

In the second game, the JDG team faced the DRX team.

I thought that the DRX team would continue the momentum of the GEN team, but the JDG team chose to refuse strongly.

In the end, the JDG team defeated the DRX team and became the seventh team to advance to the quarterfinals of the S10 World Championship.

The third and final game is the focus of the entire LPL division. The TES team faces the TSM team.

If the TES team wins, the LPL division will occupy three seats in the top eight. If the TSM team wins, Big Brother will enter the top eight of the World Championship for two consecutive years!

Therefore, this BO3 battle that no one wanted to lose was extremely fierce, but it was a pity that there was only one winner in the end.

In the end, the TES team defeated the TSM team and became the last team to advance to the quarterfinals of the S10 World Championship.

While sending the ultimate despair to the TSM team and senior brother, it also finally made all LPL fans breathe a long sigh of relief.

After all, their champion TES team finally did not disappoint them like the previous LGD team!

After a brief period of lingering fear, the strongest hope was once again ignited in the hearts of LPL fans!
Because this is another first in the LPL division, occupying three seats in the quarterfinals of the World Championship!

"JDG is awesome! TES is awesome! SN is awesome! LPL is awesome!"

"Three LPLs in the top eight, what is this if not the most promising year of LPL?!"

"Don't tell me that TES and JDG narrowly advanced to the quarterfinals. There are three LPLs, two LECs, two LCKs, and one PCS. If LPL isn't the best region in the world, what else can it be?!"

"And I believe that after experiencing the twists and turns in the Swiss round, the three LPL teams must have found their form, and then they will definitely be able to show off their power in the final knockout stage!"

"Three teams, two can sweep one half of the zone, one can penetrate the other half, and then finally meet in the finals, I'm excited just thinking about it!"

"Hurry, hurry, I can't wait to see the results of the top eight draws!"

"Are you just calling the HXA team? I hope that the top eight draws will directly draw the TES team and the HXA team together, so that the TES team can step on the HXA team's corpse and win the championship all the way!"

The long Swiss round is finally over, and when the draw ceremony for the top eight is about to begin, all LPL fans are extremely excited again. It seems that they have already seen "three LPLs for the top eight, three LPLs for the top four, and then LPL takes it all." The ultimate scene of "Crown Asia".

It's just that their wishful thinking seems like fantasy to the viewers in other competition regions.

After all, LPL fans have been making similar remarks for countless years, but as a result, LPL has never been able to fulfill their wishes!
And this time, it is definitely the same!
So, amid the tit-for-tat battles among the summoners of the global League of Legends, as the LPL official studio was once again ready, the much-anticipated draw ceremony for the top eight of S10 finally officially began!
"Welcome to the knockout draw of the 2020 League of Legends Global Finals."

"After fierce competition in the Swiss round, the eight top teams showed their talents and successfully advanced to the knockout stage of the global finals."

"What awaits them next will be a more brutal schedule and a higher-intensity confrontation!"

"Next, let us welcome two players, Ning and Tian, ​​to announce the matchups for the eight and four stages of the knockout round!"

As the live broadcast signal cut into the LPL official live broadcast room, LPL host Yu Shuang also appeared again.

On her right, S8's runner-up Ning and S9's runner-up Tian are also ready. They don't seem to be particularly on the stage, but these two are already the most successful players in the LPL region in the past two years. It’s time for the player to take action.

Before the official draw began, Yu Shuang read out the rules for the eight-to-four draw.

和去年一样，那就是两支3-0的战队分属于不同半区，然后抽取3-2的战队作为对手，多出来的一支3-2战队则混入3-1组别进行抽签。

In this way, it can be ensured that the two 3-0 teams will not meet before the finals, and it will also be easier to advance to the subsequent semi-finals.

It's just that this lottery rule makes countless LPL fans very excited.

Because you must know that among the three 3-2 teams, there are two LPL teams, and one of them is their champion TES team!

And this means that if the HXA team or the DWG team is unlucky enough to meet the TES team, they will usher in the tragic ending of being eliminated in the first round of the knockout round after winning the Swiss round!

So, amid the infinite fantasies of countless LPL fans, the top eight draw ceremony finally officially entered the drawing stage.

First, player Tian was drawn from the No. 1 seed pool with only two small balls.

DWG team!

HXA team!

In the blink of an eye, the drawing of the two No. 1 seeds was completed. The DWG team was assigned to the top half, and the HXA team was assigned to the bottom half.

But this result will not form a matchup, and the subsequent draw of player Ning will allow the two 3-0 teams to determine their opponents.

At this moment, all LCK fans couldn't help but get nervous. After all, the three 3-2 teams were TES, JDG and GEN.

If the GEN team is too unlucky to directly encounter two 3-0 teams, then based on the performance of the GEN team in the Swiss round, it is very likely that the GEN team will directly stop in the quarterfinals.

So LCK fans don’t want to see this happen no matter what!
But LPL fans are different. Although the TES team and the JDG team both had a 3-2 record in the Swiss round, with their inexplicable and unfounded confidence, they actually actively hoped to meet two 3-0 teams. Then complete the following feat at the same time!
Player Ning seemed to have heard the call of LPL fans. In his first draw, he directly selected an LPL team, JDG!

As for his second draw, all LPL fans got their wish and drew the TES team!

And this means that at this point in the draw, two of the four BO5 knockout rounds of the quarterfinals have been determined.

They are:
DWG team vs JDG team!

HXA team vs TES team! (End of chapter)
