Chapter 278 Bald Qiang takes action
  The timeline goes back to before the start of today's game. At that time, all Taobo fans were imagining how their brother could defeat RGE and DRX, and they were making suggestions on various forums.

Among the four LPL participating teams, only one team, Taobo, is composed entirely of five Chinese people. They compete in S12 under the name of an all-Chinese class, which also attracts many passerby fans.

There are even doctoral teachers in probability who specifically calculate the probability of Taobo qualifying for this purpose.

But in his various calculation models, the probability of TES defeating GAM is 99%.

However, the ending is just like Doctor Strange in Marvel. No one expected that the only probability would appear so accurately.

Xiaotian's male gun rushed into the crowd and tried to fight, but was completely ignored by the five GAM people.

At this moment, they only have defense towers and crystals in their eyes. The wrist hero with a record of only 2-5 stands in front of the high ground, punching one after another until the crystal hub belonging to Taobo is completely destroyed!

The fireworks were in full bloom, as if the hopes of Taobo fans were completely shattered. In an instant, the barrage covered the entire live broadcast room, and there was even a slight lag.

【RNM! Get your money back! Are you worthy of us in this situation? 】

[When I was a child, I watched this kind of military history-themed film. The Vietnamese army was indeed very powerful. 】

[I really like the words of the famous champion AD player, "I just don't regard them as my biggest opponents, so it doesn't matter." 】

[It turns out that we are going to lose to Vietnam next, which is not a joke. General Fan, I understand you! 】

[Please enjoy the 2022 LPL Spring Festival Gala skit, (Group C kills indiscriminately) (Favorites to win the championship) (The first line in the group) (Three consecutive wins in the second round) (We still have hope)]

Wang Duoduo, who was in the commentary box, looked at the scene in front of him. Even a professional like him was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say to explain this embarrassing result.

Yutong on the side was still mumbling about it a minute ago, but now he also had a strange look on his face.

Although he is not a top commentator, but with so many years of working experience in the LPL, he believes that he has seen every scene, and has experienced all the storms and waves in the Asian Games and intercontinental competitions.

However, today's situation was still beyond his expectation. For a moment, complicated emotions came to his heart, and a smile crazily hit the corner of his mouth, but he had to pretend to be very disappointed.

The moment the crystal exploded, the director cut the camera to the players' seats of both teams.

The five members of GAM hugged each other tightly, with child-like happy expressions on their faces, celebrating their victory with joy and laughter.

Even if no one in the world is optimistic about them before the game, even if they are destined to buy a ticket and go home after this game.

At least they tried their best in every game and did their best with all their heart.

In comparison, the content played by Taobo in this game was ugly. They completely forgot the warning that there will be no underdogs in the World Championship.

In the last wave of team battles, if Wayward waits for the front teeth to TP again, if the T buys blue medicine instead of the war hammer when the T comes out, if the knight does not carry the tower and does not empty the key charm, if Mark chooses not to give the R to Ornn but keeps it for the fight. Brother Death's ultimate move, if Jack had turned off Baptism of the Holy Spear earlier and added more A to the base, the balance of victory might be tilted towards them.

It's a pity that so many opportunities in front of them were missed by them who didn't take it seriously. There are no ifs in this world.

What made the audience even more unexpected was when the camera showed the Taobo battle seat.

Zuo Zuo and Da Huang had a smile on their faces. They were talking to each other. Ah Shui was chewing gum and looking at the screen disapprovingly. They seemed not to be worried about the outcome of this time at all.

Only Mark, who was worried about his job next season, looked a bit sad.

This also disappointed Gu Chuan, who had been watching the game in the background.

Even if he deliberately asked Dany to fight with Taobo yesterday, and through various circumstantial warnings during the training match, he could not change the arrogant mentality of this team.

And the white crescent moon's willful BP.

But what was even more dramatic was that Taobo crushed DRX and REG with an absolute strength gap in the next two games.

To sum up Taobo's second round of competition, this is a simple sentence.

First, a defeat in one game proves the professional attitude of the players, and then two wins in two games prove their professional ability.

In the end, TES, the second seed in the LPL, which had high hopes, ranked third in the group with a 16-3 record in the top 3. It was a pity to say goodbye to their journey to the S12 World Championship.

They were also awarded a new four-letter title.

This humiliating defeat made EDG, who played in the final Group D, increase their vigilance.

Although they failed to defeat LCK No. 100 seed GEN due to personal strength issues, they still relied on steady and steady operation methods to slowly and steadily send [-]T and CFO back to their hometown.

In the end, he entered the quarterfinals stably as the second eldest brother, without violating the tradition of the ancestors of Severn.

So far, the qualifying places for the four groups have been determined.

October seventeenth.

Perhaps due to various off-court factors, Riot's process this year is a bit faster than in previous years.

On the day when the Group D match ended, in the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City, all the teams that entered the quarterfinals were arranged into one lounge after another backstage.

Of course, there are no exceptions for all members of WBG. Even the paid substitute SOFM, who the audience has not seen for nearly half a season, is lying on the sofa.

At this time, there are two more photographers sent by Fist officials to the corner of the lounge, and the camera will record their every move.

The crowd sat together.

"Hu, are you nervous?" Gu Chuan casually opened a pack of beef jerky and touched Xiao Hu beside him with a playful smile, "Can you suppress your excitement later?"

"Nervous. What, I don't eat beef."

Li Yuanhao pretended to be calm and tidied up his clothes, maintaining a cold and calm expression, but his eyes never turned away from the moment he entered the room, and he couldn't help but look at the central screen.

But he secretly made up his mind.

No matter how good or bad the result is today, I can't laugh out loud!

"Bring it here! I'll eat it, I'll eat it." Cheng Lu took the beef jerky from his hand unceremoniously and shared it with Weiwei and Liu Qingsong, who seemed a little heartless.

Everyone got up early today and didn't have time to have breakfast, so it was just a temporary break.

After a round of passing, when the bag returned to Gu Chuan's hand again, it was empty.

He turned it over helplessly and shook the package, but unfortunately only a few pieces fell out.

This was a snack specially sent by my girlfriend after the last group match. Unexpectedly, it was gone all of a sudden. This is not easy to buy abroad.

But he also secretly hid two bags in the hotel room.

"It's coming! It's coming! It's about to begin!"

Weiwei's excited shout suddenly sounded, drawing Gu Chuan's distracted attention back again. “It’s great to see you all again! Welcome to our quarterfinal draw ceremony!”

A familiar and fluent voice sounded, and a blond woman stood elegantly in the center of the competition stage. It was sjokz, the veteran official Riot commentator.

"After two weeks of exciting group matches! Eight of the world's top teams have emerged from the competition! Today is the time to decide the next fate! I can't wait!"

With a wave of her hand, the top lens slowly pulled up to reveal the arrangement next to it.

Two transparent glass jars were placed in the center of the light column, with several small silver balls lying quietly inside, waiting for the moment of revelation to come.

Although there is no Dragonfly Captain this year, there is also Bald Qiang.

Soon, a man with thin hair and a strong build walked up slowly, and his movements aroused warm applause from the audience.

In order to take care of the dismal North American division, Riot specially hired PHREAK, a living fossil commentator from the LCS who will also be one of the future League of Legends designers.

He has been on the front line of commentary in League of Legends from S2 to this year's S12, and he is an undoubted candidate in terms of qualifications and authority.

sjokz raised the inscription card in his hand and began to emphasize quickly, "Thank you very much for your enthusiastic support. Next, I will briefly introduce the lottery rules for the top eight."

This year's competition system has no changes compared to previous years' S competition. The eight teams are divided into upper and lower halves, with a total of four groups competing against each other. The first place in the group stage will face the second place in other groups. Two teams qualifying from the same group will not be assigned to the same half. If they cannot compete, they will automatically be placed in the correct position in the other half.

Dozens of players from eight teams are looking forward to it, staring at the TV screen and silently praying that their luck will be better.

The champions of the S competition every year are the top teams that combine luck, version, personal ability and team assistance. No one wants the opponent in front to be too strong, causing the well-prepared trump card to be played in advance.

Just like last year's S11, many Koreans believe that one of the reasons why EDG can win is that too many things were exposed in the confrontation between T1 and GEN, which led to DK being slightly inferior in tactical preparation.

The moment the host put down the inscription board, PHREAK put his hand into the glass tank in Pool [-] and kept spinning, and finally grabbed one of the silver balls with force.

All the eyes of the audience were focused on the small piece of paper in his hand.

A mysterious smile appeared on PHREAK's lips, and then he raised the icon high to show the surrounding cameras, causing bursts of passionate cheers from the audience!
  The first one to be pulled out happened to be WBG!

As one of the most competitive teams in this World Championship, WBG's wonderful performance in the group stage has been witnessed by all the audience. The playing style is fierce and not sloppy, attracting a large number of new fans to show their support!
  Without thinking too much, PHREAK took out the second ball and gently unscrewed it.

The golden icon with wings is particularly eye-catching.

GENG
  "The LCK's No. 11 seed will be in the same half as the LPL's No. [-] seed! They are very likely to meet in the semi-finals! The last time this happened was in the S[-] championship! DK faced EDG in the finals !”

The director projected the picture of the Samsung lounge at this time on the big screen.

The pair of midfielders, Chaowei and Peanut, looked grave, and even Chichi, who always had a smile on his face, remained silent.

Since everyone is here to win the championship, this knockout round is obviously not as easy as imagined. It just so happens that WBG's violent offensive style is relatively very restrained from Samsung's steady operating style. At this moment, how much they want to draw out the team will be Is it T1, or is it easier to start with an old acquaintance?

The lottery is still going on, and naturally T1 and DRX are assigned to the bottom half, which means there is much less pressure to qualify.

Although T1 has a great reputation in the World Championship, its status has been obviously ups and downs during the group stage, and DRX is regarded as one of the weak teams in the quarterfinals.

In the eyes of other teams, the lower half is simply paradise.

The prize pool for the first place has been completely emptied. On the big screen behind the two hosts, the names of the four teams occupied their own positions like devils, waiting for the corresponding challengers to arrive.

PHREAK raised his hands with satisfaction to indicate his masterpiece, walked slowly to the second fiberglass, and stretched out his claws.

The team members in Pool No. [-] held their breath and calmed down, silently praying that they would not be the first one.

The first ball was drawn quickly.

【DK, LCK. 】

After seeing the name, Danni put away the pen she was preparing to record in disappointment.

DK was in the same group as them in the group stage, so naturally they couldn't be grouped together.

While the DK players' hearts were racing, their team's name safely jumped over the fire pit in the upper half and slowly landed in front of T1 in the lower half!

Everyone in DK couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, feeling a bit lucky in their hearts and smiling like they were surviving the disaster.

In the LCK playoffs, they played against T1 for several rounds. Although they lost in the end, overall the battle situation was back and forth. At least they still had the strength to fight. Compared with facing them in the group stage, WBG's miserable situation is much better.

In the second round, Gu Chuan's Draven, who had taken advantage of the gun, mercilessly produced a super terrifying effect, which directly penetrated their weak bottom lane.

Not even a few seconds after they relaxed, the other teams became frightened again.

The only possibility has been eliminated, whichever name appears next will mean that the god of death is about to come.

A golden note was slowly unfolded, and PHREAK had a strange look on his face, and he could hardly hold back his smile.

"NO!"

"OMG! Shet!"

After seeing the note in PHREAK's hand, the entire RGE team jumped up from the sofa in an instant, with expressions of pain.

Even the coach next to him was stunned.

In the group stage, they were lucky enough to have some strength and barely defeated Taobo once, but this time they faced a guy who was no joke.

That is the No. 28 seed in the LPL, the team that leads the World Championship with a fault level, the most bloody, the only terrifying existence in the World Championship that can maintain the game duration within [-] minutes, the absolute favorite to win the championship!

Although I have long been mentally prepared that the quarter-finals will be difficult to win, it won't go straight to hell difficulty, right?
  PHREAK on the stage was also a little confused.

He really didn't expect that even if all the North American teams were eliminated, he would still be able to single-handedly send home the last team from the rival EU division next door.

In this way, the top eight is not much better than the top 16. After all, there is already a top nine team.

There will be much less suspense next. After all, the same group cannot meet each other in the group stage, and the opponents of both sides are almost destined.

The overall draw results for the top eight were quickly displayed on the big screen.

Upper half: [WBGvsRGE], [GENvsEDG]

Lower half: [T1vsDK], [DRXvsJD]

Seeing the result, both the LPL teams and the audience and fans breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was no civil war in the quarterfinals. This must be a good draw!
  As for what happens after the quarterfinals, everyone has to rely on their own abilities.
