I just messed around, how could I become the number one in the world?

Chapter 387: The top eight! All LPL members are jubilant!

10 month 10 number.

Seoul, Korea.

The S8 World Finals group stage officially begins!
EDG has a game on the first day.

It’s just that the team on their team is not very strong, they are C9 from the LES North American region!!
This is also a familiar face on the world stage.

They are the masters of their own division.

But when it came to the world competition and met the two major regions of LPL and LCK, it seemed a bit bad.

As the No. 1 seed of the entire LPL this season, EDG will naturally not fail in its first battle in the World Championship.

It took only twenty-four minutes to take it down.

Scout’s mid laner Zoe was killing like crazy.

EDG's first victory also made the LPL audience cheer.

“EDG is awesome!!”

"That's it, Scout! Keep it up, and keep winning!"

"Go, go, go!"

"..."

In the next few days, the major teams will start their competitions.

RNG faced MAD and easily won the game.

IG faced 100T and crushed them in just 9 minutes, which was faster than EDG's match against C.

Three LPL teams won their first victory!

On the second day of the competition, all three teams were still undefeated!

On the third day, EDG finally faced a more difficult enemy in this World Championship, GEN from LCK, which was renamed Samsung.

"Welcome to the 2018 World Championship Group Stage!"

"Next up will be LPL team EDG versus LCK team G——E——N!"

The host on the scene was a loud-voiced man.

As the home team of the Little West, they deliberately lengthened their voices when introducing their own team.

In order to highlight the strength of their own team!!

The scene was also filled with the sounds of their LKC audience cheering for their own team.

The sound is loud and huge.

This is also normal.

After all, this is their home court.

Fortunately, there are still many international students in Korea.

And they are all fans of EDG, so they are not inferior to Samsung in momentum.

As the other party comes on stage, check the equipment after completion.

This highly anticipated match between the two largest regions, LCK and LPL, began under the attention of everyone.

In the group stage, EDG's starting top laner was Ray, and Gu Chen still did not play.

This time it was not the coaching staff who requested this, but Gu Chen himself who requested this.

My hand injury is still there and I am still recovering from it.
Besides, the teams EDG faced in the group stage were not very strong. Even if they lost to GEN, they were able to advance to the quarterfinals with the second place result.

Besides, given EDG's current state, can't GEN easily defeat them?

And Gu Chen also came to this game.

He's like a coach.

Give everyone advice and suggestions before the game.

Moreover, his experience is even more useful than that of the coach.

Just four minutes into the game, GEN's bottom lane exploded.

EDG's factory manager came directly to gank the bottom lane. Uzi took advantage of the early stage by depleting the opponent's blood volume and directly took the first blood of GEN's bottom lane in this wave.

Uzi takes off!

After Uzi took off, the whole game seemed to have a goal, and the rhythm was one wave after another.

The middle and bottom lanes kept catching people, and in thirteen minutes, EDG's two C positions had already got several kills.

It can be said that GEN has basically run out of rhythm now, and it can even be said that the game can be declared over.

GEN's mid, bottom and jungle all collapsed, leaving only a top laner who suppressed ray in the laning phase, but ray's laning phase was extremely stable.

Even if he doesn't finish off the enemy, he won't step forward when there is danger.

In the end, EDG proceeded step by step.

Take the little dragon, eat the vanguard, push the middle lane, push the bottom lane, switch lanes to the top lane, push the top lane...

Just after twenty minutes, the economic gap between the two sides reached as much as five thousand.

Then EDG maintained a steady rhythm!

It was not until the 25th minute, when Uzi and Scout had completed their equipment, that they went to fight the Baron.

In the team battle for the big dragon, GEN simply couldn't take it because their development was too poor.

When we got to the big dragon group, it shattered at the first touch.

EDG directly completed a one-for-four exchange, and GEN completely collapsed.

this moment!
The e-sports venue in Seoul has become a library.

Those little Xiba who shouted that their GEN was invincible before the game now looked extremely ugly!
In the final 28 minutes, EDG directly performed a wave of Linglong Tower, pushing three lanes and defeating GEN! !
This scene made the entire LPL audience extremely excited.

[Hahaha, I didn't expect that Samsung, which was invincible back then, is so weak now! ]

[This can't be blamed on Samsung, the main reason is that they met EDG, the No. 1 seed of LPL, which is not something that the No. 3 seed of LCK can challenge!! ]

[It's just a pity that the top lane was suppressed in this game. As expected, the top laners in LCK are really strong. I wonder if Maoshen can beat them. ]

[By the way, why do I feel that Cat God will not play in this group match? After all, that's what happened in the finals last season...]

[No! ! Cat God will be on the second round, I heard it through gossip! ! ]

As they talked, many people thought of Gu Chen.

After all, in this game, although EDG had advantages in the middle and bottom lanes, they could clearly see that they were being suppressed in the top lane.

LCK's top laner is really strong! !

This also makes everyone feel that if LPL wants to win the championship this time, the top laner must be able to stand on his own.

……

The group stage continues.

In the first round of the LPL group stage, IG and EDG both won 3/0 and achieved a perfect record. Only RNG was beaten. They won the first two games, but they were still defeated by KT.

But speaking of it, LPL's record is generally better. IG and EDG can enter the quarterfinals with a little effort in the second lane, while RNG needs to be careful and not lose too much...

The second round of group matches will begin soon.

EDG, which is followed by countless people, is looking forward to Gu Chen's appearance.

But until EDG defeated GEN again and achieved a perfect record of 6/0, Gu Chen did not appear on the court.

Gu Chen’s fans were a little depressed.

[EDG is awesome! First in the group! Made it to the quarterfinals!!]

[Alas, why doesn't Maoshen play? He has already been transferred, but he still lets Ray start. He might as well come back to play mid! ]

[I heard that Mao Shen's hand injury relapsed, so he can't play in this group match. Then I guess Mao Shen's level must have dropped...]

[I also heard rumors that Maoshen had a relationship dispute and is currently dealing with it, so he has no intention of going on stage!!]

[Ah? ? Who is Cat God with? Damn!! I want to know! ]

[I give up. With such a professional player, why would he still play in a professional game? He has already reached the World Championship, but he still caused such a mess because of these things. Do you really not want to win the championship? He should win three consecutive championships!!]

On the Internet, the topic of Gu Chen not appearing on the stage was becoming more and more outrageous.

Forced.

In order to stop the rumors from spreading further, EDG directly released an official announcement, stating that Gu Chen is still the starting player, but he will not be playing in the group stage for the time being.

……

EDG achieved a perfect record of 6/0 in the group stage.

The other two teams from LPL played with some fear.

IG lost to FNC in the first game!

This almost scared the IG fans to death.

I was afraid that IG’s strength would decline in the second round and they would lose completely!
Fortunately, the opponents in the team were very weak. 100T and GRX were no match for IG at all. In the end, they won first place in the group with a good score of 5/1 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals!

But RNG is in a miserable situation!
Faced with KT's natural weakness, the top laner was still out of control and the mid laner was invisible. With only one ruler left, it was difficult to support the rhythm of the entire team.

In the second round, we won the first game by a crushing victory.

After meeting KT again, although they tried their best and the jungler set the pace crazily, the top lane was still a breakthrough point and they were eventually killed by KT's top laner.

This time, RNG fans were sweating in their palms, fearing that the third seed they had finally obtained would be gone before they even got to the World Championship.

Good thing!

In the last game, RNG's opponent is MAD. It's easy to defeat this kind of team!

In the end, we entered the quarterfinals with a record of 4/2!

As all three teams successfully entered the knockout stage and won the places in the quarterfinals.

The LPL audience was excited.

[Nice! Nice! Fortunately, all three LPL teams have entered the quarterfinals. This way, they have a great chance of advancing to the semifinals! ! ]

[EDG's performance was as stable as ever, but IG was a little unexpected. When they were in LPL, they were quite strong, so how could they lose to FNC? Otherwise, it would have been a perfect 6/0 record! ]

[FNC is also very strong! The big brother of the European team, the number one seed, their strength should not be underestimated! ! ]

When the LPL audience cheered for their three teams in the region to successfully enter the quarterfinals.

The LCK side has exploded.

Because, after the group stage, the GEN team, which many fans had high hopes for, was eliminated directly in the group stage and reached the top 16...

Moreover, GEN's record is a mess.

In the first round of the group stage, they only won one game, but in the second round, they lost all three games.

You know, in their group, only EDG is strong. The other two teams, C9 and VIT, are not strong teams.

GEN lost consecutively...

As their home ground, only two teams entered the quarterfinals at this time.

This caused the LCK audience to vent their anger on GEN.

"You idiot, you are such a bad player, why don't you go home and farm?"

"If I had known Samsung was so weak, I would have given the third seed to SKT and let my brother Xianghe come up to play against these LPL guys."

"Damn Samsung! They played worse than a dog, and even lost to VIT! I really want to slap you in the face!"

"..."

LCK's major media and social platforms are arguing fiercely.

And the stage of the World Championship.

The last group match has ended.

The S8 World Championship has concluded and the teams that have entered the knockout stage have been announced.

Group A: G2 first, AFS second!

Group B: EDG first, C9 second!

Group C: KT first, RNG second!

Group D: IG first, FNC second!

At a glance at the teams that have entered the quarterfinals, it is clear that LPL is very strong this season.

The three teams that participated in the World Championship have all entered the quarterfinals, and two of them are first in their groups.

And what comes next is the quarterfinal grouping, which makes everyone both excited and nervous.

Therefore, the day for the quarterfinals grouping has not yet arrived.

In the outside world, countless people began to simulate.

In fact, it is easier to guess.

Teams in the same group cannot be assigned to the same half of the zone.

This means that EDG, as a team in the upper half, is likely to have a civil war with the LPL team.

This is something that all fans and viewers don't want to see.

"In this grouping, RNG, the No. 3 seed, will not be in the same group as KT. This is good news for RNG, but the bad news for everyone is that there may be a civil war."

"I hope that RNG will play against G2, EDG will play against FNC, and IG will not face AFS and will directly play against C9. With such a dream grouping, three LPL teams will definitely enter the semi-finals. It's exciting just to think about it..."

"Hahaha, don't daydream. This is being held in South Korea. They can even unplug the network cable. Then, won't it be easy for us to have a civil war in LPL?"

"Indeed! South Korea has many talented e-sports and sportsmen, but the spirit of sports is not so good. After all, a small country only thinks in terms of results!!"

Countless people are guessing about the grouping.

Although EDG and RNG are grouped together so that LPL can make it to the semi-finals, based on the strength of the two teams, they would still make it to the semi-finals if they were separated.

Therefore, for this grouping, countless topics were developed.

……

And as time goes by.

The day of final grouping has arrived.

The official will choose someone from the organizer Xiaoxiba to draw a piece of paper and announce the grouping results to everyone live.

All the major teams were also in their rest areas, looking at the computer screens, waiting for the final results.

Take a deep breath and suppress the tension in your heart.

As dozens of minutes passed.

The final result is out.

RNG vs G2, EDG vs FNC, IG vs C9, KT vs AFS! !
Wow! !
Boiling and exploding!
This time, all the LPL members cheered.

Good luck! !

wrong!

It should be said to be the top sign!

There is no civil war in LPL, but there is a civil war in LCK. This is the best news for them.

Netizens and audiences were also delighted.

[Nice! Nice!! This group draw is absolutely amazing, absolutely amazing! ]

[I can only say two words, take off! ! Yuanda take off, this is the best signing! ! ]

[I didn’t expect that RNG would get such a good draw. Isn’t it easy to play against G2? ? ]

[This guy who drew the lottery is definitely a great benefactor to our LPL! He was able to draw such a good lottery, but when KT played against AFS, he played this trick. I'm afraid the LCK side will scold this guy to death! ]

【This year is the strongest year for LPL! They will play against easy teams. In this way, there will be three LPL teams in the semi-finals! Three against one! Even if KT is strong, when they enter the semi-finals, facing three against one, will they panic? ! 】

The audience was ecstatic and excited at the same time.

Such a good lottery ticket is something that only comes once in a century.

The major LPL teams are equally excited.

EDG didn't fight a civil war, they fought against FNC.

IG was still assigned C9.

Just looking at the two opponents, one would feel that this match is a sure win.

And RNG is luckier.

Directly met G2!
