Chapter 222: The first place qualified and advanced to the quarterfinals!

Before the opening game of the group stage, in SKT's lounge.

The dunking coach's gaze swept across the crowd, and his tone was more serious than ever.

"The top laner on the opposite side should still be the same person."

"Leave the road alone! Leave the road alone! Leave the road alone!"

"Remember! The top lane is just a line and cannot affect the entire battle situation!"

"Don't forget what SKT relies on to win games."

After hearing these words, the rest of SKT were fine, but the stupid chicken's face showed a thoughtful look.

Coach, I understand!

Soon, with the anticipation of countless viewers around the world, the BO1 group competition arrived soon.

IG's starting lineup is still Li Fu's top laner and A Sturgeon's jungler. At the same time, this is also Li Fu's first appearance in the world championship.

Li Fu didn't panic. Facing Duke's captain, he backhanded a vampire development.

It wasn't until the bottom lane was broken that the duo switched to the middle lane. After Li Fu returned home, he directly caught a wave from the spring. Bang's Jinx was greedy for lane and was taken away by Li Fu with a wave of teammates, and the situation began to reverse. .

At 21 minutes, after getting the red buff, Bang got lost in the upper half, bumped into Li Fu who was doing the vision, and was taken away directly.

Faker, who has gained the advantage, not only presses the middle lane, but also puts considerable pressure on the upper and lower wings and even the jungle to varying degrees - this is why Kuaima said that the top lane has little impact. If Li Fu is playing Wild, he will still be afraid of the opponent's three-pointer, but even if the single line of the top lane is equipped with teleportation, the dominance of the game is far less than that of the middle lane.

When BP started, many people thought that SKT would definitely have to focus on design. After all, in the official player rankings during this period, Li Fu's ranking in the previous unit has been among the top three, and he can be regarded as a world-class top laner. .

Li Fu directly bypassed the baron pit and TP, cooperated with his teammates to play a wave of two for four, and successfully won the baron.

The game lasted until seventeen minutes, pushing towers, taking dragons, roaming and grabbing people. Under the leadership of Faker, SKT's rhythm has always been smooth.

"Wo is not sad. He is happy because he won the game." Rookie said stubbornly.

"Congratulations to IG for winning the group stage of this World Championship."

In China, in the early morning, small rooms in major residential buildings rang out with unanimous cheers.

At the IG game, Rookie looked a little disappointed.

Rookie was stunned and immediately shouted:

Seeing how arrogant the other party was, A sturgeon wanted to take advantage of this time difference to counterattack.

At this point in time, Faker's clockwork read the next town recall after pushing the line. Rookie, who was hit in the early stage, naturally wanted to go home to recuperate. Just as he started to read the town recall, Faker suddenly took a step forward. , threw the devil out.

The big brother on SKT is obviously 3/0 Faker.

After both sides are locked, the game begins.

Faker was unwilling to let go and led the remaining three teammates to fight.

Li Fu smiled and shrugged, "Oh, that's it, forget it. Originally, I wanted to say that next time we play SKT, I'll come to the jungle to make you feel better."

“Congratulations IG!”

Therefore, they only need to make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses and stay in the middle.

Then Li Fu's vampire ultimate move hit the SKT group, and the explosion damage was dealt, directly leveling SKT with one wave.

A library!

Accompanied by a loud shout!

The Rookie under the tower was instantly kicked and flew out, and with the cooperation of SKT's old midfielder partner, he directly scored first blood.

Then, a celestial sound wave flew across the wall, touching the eyes and the dragon swung its tail.

So, the next game is to find the big brother.

He wanted to prove himself in this encounter in the World Championship, why can't I be the No. 1 player in the world, but the result once again proved that Faker is still Faker.

Of course Rookie subconsciously walked back.

Two goals and one girl, Enchantress and Syndra are all banished, and then directly grab the midfielder Clockwork and Blind Sin, almost playing the midfielder.

Unexpectedly, SKT's wild assistant did a very good job of synergy. Wolf immediately persuaded the anti-wild A sturgeon in the river.

Then it just snowballed.

Who is the strongest SKT player?

That must be a stupid chicken!

The SKT Lee Sin on the red side had a red opening in the upper half of the jungle area. After clearing a jungle area, he came directly to the center. He flashed Rookie in a wave, then walked to the lower half of the area in front of his face, and continued to brush his own lower half of the jungle area.

But unexpectedly, SKT did not target IG's top lane too much. They did not release any of Li Fu's well-known heroes such as the male gunner and the vampire. They seemed to choose to trust their top laner.

Li Fu, who was about to shake hands, passed by Rookie and noticed that the little fat man was a little depressed. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go, let's shake hands. There's nothing to be sad about."

The level is still one level ahead.

But correspondingly, SKT put great pressure on Rookie in the mid lane ban position.

Next, for a long period of time, Benji's blind monk remained invisible, and people almost forgot about his existence.

At the 23rd minute, Bangqing dropped his troops on the high ground and walked back, but he didn't notice that the vampires came up this time without demolishing the highland towers. They directly disabled them in a wave, and cooperated with the big move of the jungler A Sturgeon's male gun.

Although Li Fu Vampire on IG is only 1/0, the top lane has a small impact on the canyon battlefield and has small benefits. He does not roam as frequently as Faker to help his teammates find the rhythm. He has been focusing on development on the top lane. At this moment Even if there are two less people, the equipment is almost the same.

Then IG opened the baron.

After winning the baron, IG's morale was greatly boosted, and they broke through the upper and middle high ground in a row.

Until the level 6 wave comes around.

"No! Brother Fu, I'm so sad! I'm very sad right now."

At the same time, SKT was in the game seats.

After the game, Faker pursed his lips and said nothing.

Bang next to him shook his hand, glanced at his 1/7 Jinx, shook his head and sighed, "Oh, I should get a hero with displacement."

"Be happy, Xianghe, it's just a BO1 group stage, there will be more opportunities later." Idiot comforted Faker.

Faker's mouth twitched, but his expression did not improve significantly.

Again, when losing a game, the most uncomfortable thing is not the one who sent Super Ghost, but the one who wanted to win but couldn't.

Faker is obviously the latter.

When he left the stage after having his hand shaken, he glanced at the World Championship trophy in front of the stage, and then at Bang beside him, feeling that something might have to be stuffed into the trophy.

But in any case, the unveiling of the battle between IG and SKT generated enough gimmicks for this World Championship, with the number of broadcasts directly exceeding any other event at the same time, allowing countless sponsors to once again feel the huge market potential of e-sports competitions.

Next, September 9 to October 30.

The first round of the group stage ended. IG in Group B won three out of three games and ranked first with the same record as ROX. The second batch behind them was teams such as SKT, which lost a game 2/1.

Among the three teams in the LPL, EDG currently belongs to the second batch.

As for RNG in Group D, it only got 1/2 and belongs to the third echelon.

As the second seed in the LPL, this performance can be said to have disappointed fans' expectations, and once again set off a storm of public opinion on the Internet.

"No, I can understand losing to SSG. You damn thing can't even beat the European and American competitions?"

"If I had known better, I might as well not have come. It's so embarrassing."

"Stop scolding, Group D is a group of death after all. RNG has achieved this result very well."

"Laughing, the group of death? Group B will not die? Which one of SKT, C9 and Flash Wolves is not stronger? Why can IG get 3/0?" "."

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

The LPL team's performance in the S-League over the years has always been sluggish. Originally, it was okay if everyone held hands together, but now suddenly there is a Tibetan mastiff among the thin dogs.

This thin dog is very eye-catching.

Su Xiaoluo even left the conference room and slapped the table. The World Championship was here to avenge past shame, not to embarrass oneself. If the next round of group matches is still like this, it is better to go home as soon as possible.

Then they really went home.

The second round of the group stage was separated by four days from the first round. It was still four days from October 10 to October 7. At the end of the game, the results of advancing to the quarterfinals were announced soon.

Group A promotion: ROX, ANX

Group B promotion: IG, SKT

Group C promotion: EDG, H2K

Group D promotion: TSM, SSG

Yes, RNG and TSM in Group D both had a record of 3/3, but according to the rules of the group stage, they were eliminated. They can be regarded as this year's LPL runner-up after last year's LPL champion and number one seed LGD stopped in the top . The seed also stopped in the top again, which immediately sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

"No way? No way?"

"Someone is ranked first? Is there someone who can't even make it to the top eight?"

"This is the LPL Galaxy Battleship? It's really funny that the wild cards can enter the top eight."

"I told you, whoever is called Galaxy Battleship will have a good end?"

"Then now I can only watch EDG and IG."

"I think Xuanhu, the three LCK teams next door have all advanced, and the quarterfinals will probably be a blast."

"Hey, today's finals won't be another LCK civil war, right?"

"It counts as a win if you make it to the semi-finals."

"."

After the group stage, RNG's defeat made domestic fans feel a little pessimistic.

But soon, the draw ceremony started again, and the draw results for the quarterfinals were soon announced.

Top half: SKT vs. EDG, IG vs. SSG.

Bottom half: ROX vs. H2K, TSM vs. ANX

That's right, IG's opponent in the quarterfinals is SSG, the Samsung team that once put the Big Devil down for a whole year.

But with the S5 season, after the former three-star ten players turned into stars and came to the LPL, the team also sank for a whole year. It even missed the playoffs in last year's summer split.

until this year.

In the spring, SSG regained its form with top laner CuVee, jungler Ambition, mid laner Crown, bottom laner CoreJJ and Stitch.

In the summer, ADC player Ruler joined SSG, and the team's former ADC player Corejj transitioned into a support role, finally allowing this former OGN (formerly LCK) giant team to step onto the stage of the World Championship again after a year's absence.

This year,

They are the same as SKT in S5.

They all come with a whole year of depression and determination to win the championship.

"What about the LPL No. 1 seed?"

In the lounge Vlog shot during the draw, the Samsung coach’s chest thumped loudly, “This time we have only one goal, and that is to win the championship!”

Hearing this, everyone in SSG under the camera also laughed.

This draw result did not put any pressure on them. After all, the performance of last year's LPL No. 1 seed LGD is still in front of them, and that arrow has not flown back to this day.

To be honest, compared to the No. 1 seeds in other divisions, SSG is more afraid of the LCK civil war. After all, those are the teams that know the basics, and fighting is really stressful.

After the draw was over, I don’t know if it was an official move by the Riot Games team to broadcast a video of the players and coaches of each team watching the draw in the lounge.

After seeing the results, most of the teams either looked nervous or breathed a sigh of relief. But when they arrived at SSG, their cheerful laughter was extremely contagious.

"Damn it! Is Samsung jumping like that?"

"It's so annoying! You think you are a Samsung S4."

"Except for Leader An, I haven't heard of many of these hair-catching teams. Who is Ruler?"

"IG, please be more powerful! Teach a Korean boy how to sit down."

"."

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet.

IG didn't think too much about it and was already preparing for the quarterfinals four days later.

There is still a big difference between the quarter-finals and the group stage. In the group stage, there is only one BO1 game. If you win, you win or you lose. There is not much tactical competition, but the quarter-finals are a BO5 format.

With so many strong teams in the LCK, SSG was able to directly enter the second round of the bubble tournament with its points throughout the year. In the bubble tournament, they first defeated AFs with one to three, and then played five full games with KT, defeating 3 in the following: 2 defeated KT and became the third seed in the LCK.

From all the above, it is not difficult to see that SSG is a team that is extremely good at BO5, so even though IG knew that they were facing the third seed of the LCK, they still did not take it lightly.

It's just that A sturgeon was a little annoyed after watching the video online.

"These guys are so funny."

"How happy you are when you laugh, how miserable you are when you cry." Save patted A sturgeon on the shoulder.

"So confident?" A Sturgeon was surprised.

"Of course." Save squinted at Li Fu, "I'm quite confident in Brother Fu."

A sturgeon's balls ached when he thought of this.

This group won’t be playing in the LPL for the first time. They’re really just going to have the Summer Finals and S Championship, right?

If he gets this championship skin, whether he stays on the team or tests the transfer market next year, his value will skyrocket. Thinking about how he has been hanging out in the LPL for so long, and now he is finally getting through it, A Sturgeon has something in his heart. A subtle imbalance.

It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!

Of course, this subtle imbalance is quickly eliminated with increasing training.

The substitute brought by IG in this World Championship is Save, but there are two lineups. The coach's requirement is that the substitute must also train. The purpose is that the opponent will never see through your pants until the last moment.

Four days flew by.

October 10, 14 a.m. Beijing time, was originally just a very ordinary morning.

But because of an event in Chicago across the ocean, it became no longer ordinary.

Those who got up early, those who went wild, those who got under the covers. Countless young people in the country all picked up their mobile phones at this moment, and the familiar voices of Miller and Wawa came from the screen.

"Hello, audience friends, welcome to the quarter-finals of the 2016 Global Finals. Now, the ones who will bring us the game today are EDG and SKT."

"Yes, speaking of it, this should be the first meeting between these two teams since the MSI Mid-Season Invitational finals held in Florida, USA last May."

"Yes, in the last BO5, EDG won the MSI championship with superior skills. So, after a year and a half, what kind of sparks will be created when the two teams meet again in the top eight BO5? Let's take a look Get up and wait and see.”

"."

EDG's World Quarterfinals never lacks attention.

There seems to be a fate between the top eight and EDG, and there is also an indescribable curse.

If you don’t believe it, look at the two characters “Ming Kai”. They have eight characters, every year.

Therefore, today is the first day of the quarterfinals. In addition, EDG faces a team led by the devil Faker. Many people are looking forward to EDG breaking the curse today and regaining the glory of last year's MSI.

When the players from both sides are ready, the first game of BO5 will begin.
