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

The grouping of S9 World Championship.

In LPL, IG and FPX both have a strong opponent, one is DWG and the other is SKT! !
On the other hand, EDG feels very comfortable.

Their Group B is basically composed of weaker teams.

It can be said that EDG has secured a place in the quarterfinals!
October 10th!!

EDG ushered in the first battle!!
Facing the JT team!

EDG used all substitutes to play this game.

Even though EDG has substitutes, both hero and iboy are very strong. Facing a team like JT, they basically have an easy win.

In terms of the level of EDG's substitutes, it is also one of the best teams in the world.

Especially these substitutes, who have all experienced large and small competitions, have become much more mature and their strength has improved a lot.

Facing a team like JT, it would be strange if they didn't crush them!!
[Hahaha! For a team like EDG in this group, it would be unreasonable if they didn’t take first place!!]

[It can be seen that EDG can easily win this group stage just by letting the substitutes play, and there is no need for the factory manager and the stains to take action! ! ]

[Indeed! EDG is really lucky! It would be great if IG had the same distribution. Unfortunately, they are facing SKT, so I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to beat them! ]

EDG's victory was expected.

As for other LPL teams, FPX also defeated AHQ smoothly.

IG also won against CG.

On the first day of the competition, all three LPL teams won all the games, a great start! !

Just to the back.

Facing SKT and DWG, IG and FPX were ultimately defeated and lost the game.

This was also expected by the audience.

SKT is the number one seed of LCK after all.

Their top laner is not the type who plays a tank, but a strong top laner like Khan. Even when facing the invincible TheShy, he is not afraid at all.

[Alas, in fact, it can be seen that SKT is not that strong. Their jungle rhythm is not very good, but Faker alone carries the rhythm. I have to say that Faker is still so strong! ! ]

[It’s not unfair to lose to LCK, I just hope we don’t lose to teams from other regions, and don’t go home in the round of 16!!]

[It shouldn’t be. In fact, judging from the game, whether it is FPX or IG, they are one step behind. It is very easy to beat other teams! ]

The entire group stage was completed on October 10th.

EDG lived up to everyone's expectations and won first place in Group B with a perfect record! !
Regarding the strength of the teams in Group B.

If EDG doesn't win all the games, it will really be beyond the expectations of all the audience.

The other LPL teams did not disappoint either.

All of them successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

The final result is——

Group A: GRF first, G2 second! !
Group B: EDG first, SPY second! !
Group C: IG first, SKT second! !
Group D: DWG first, FPX second! !
The group rankings were basically what everyone had guessed, but the one that was surprising was IG.

No one had expected that after IG lost to SKT in the first round of the group stage, they successfully took revenge and defeated SKT in the second round.

SKT later lost to FNC.

IG only lost one game to SKT and won all other games, thus successfully taking first place in the group.

TheShy's performance against SKT also impressed everyone.

This also makes IG fans feel that IG has the potential to win the championship! !

……

After the first and second place in the group stage were determined.

Next is the draw.

It’s still the same rule as before, the first and second places will be drawn by lot.

The day of the draw.

The three major teams, EDG, FPX, and IG, were all waiting nervously in front of the computers for the training games.

"Just assign us to SKT, hahahaha!"

The factory manager chuckled.

He is not afraid of SKT this season.

This season, SKT returned a lot of players, which resulted in their lack of awareness in running-in, which was clearly seen during the group stage.

Therefore, even if they were assigned to SKT, they would just play casually.

Uzi also said: "As long as it's not a civil war, I generally don't want to play against my own LPL team in the world game."

Meiko also nodded: "Yes! But the probability should not be high, just FPX. To be honest, if FPX did not have little experience in competitions, with their strength, they should have won the first place in the group!!"

The EDG players were chatting and laughing, without any major concerns.

Let’s look at FPX.

One by one, they all looked worried!!

We got the second place in a group, and now we are facing the first places in the group, none of them are easy to deal with.

"Don't come to EDG, don't come to EDG!!"

doinb started praying directly.

After playing the summer finals with EDG, he was somewhat traumatized!!
Although Gu Chen is still on the list of substitute top laners in this world competition, who knows whether EDG will let Gu Chen play in the middle lane? ?
Gu Chen's mid lane is too strong!!
He can only play a few warrior top lane heroes, but unfortunately, he basically won't use those heroes.

But Gu Chen is different. He has so many heroes that he can fight, so he is not afraid of being banned at all! !
Xiaotian: "I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. IG is also very strong in the World Championship! It will be difficult to beat any team we are assigned to!"

Lin Weixiang: "Griffin is the best team! I watched their games and they are easier to deal with!!"

Don’t worry about IG!!
They are first in the group, and the teams ranked second are easier to beat.

soon! !
As everyone was looking forward to it, the draw was held!!

Upper half:

EDG vs G2!!
SKT vs DWG!!
Lower half:

GRF vs FPX!!
IG vs SPY!!
The quarterfinals are finally confirmed!!
The LPL side was in an uproar!

Fans of all three groups are very excited!

[Damn, this draw is amazing! LCK has a civil war, LPL has no civil war, and both IG and FPX are facing acceptable teams! ]

[IG has made it to the semi-finals! ! What good luck! ]

[FPX is not bad. It is better to be assigned to GRF than to EDG or DWG in total score. I always feel that FPX is not good enough to play against LCK teams, but they can crush other regions! ! ]

[Hahaha, LCK is really miserable. Last year’s internal war was fine, but this year’s internal war is still going on!!]

The LPL is basically very happy about this draw.

One is that there is no civil war!
The second is that the teams I was assigned to were not very strong!!
This way we have a great chance of reaching the semi-finals!!

As for EDG's match against G2, everyone was also happy because G2 had already started to make some moves.

The official Weibo has released a "Revenge" poster! !

Last year, G2 lost to EDG and was eliminated from the World Championship.

This year, G2 is full of confidence, and now they will meet EDG in the quarterfinals, and their fighting spirit is even stronger!

[Hahaha, G2 is really not afraid! They are facing our LPL No. seed, but they are still so jumpy! ! ]

[G2 really likes to make trouble, but unfortunately, without the strength, EDG is also sure to be in the top four! ! Isn’t it easy for G2 to take advantage of it? ? ]

[Hey! Don't underestimate them! G2 is really strong. Have you forgotten last year? They crushed RNG and almost beat EDG. If it weren't for the cat, they would have been destroyed! ! ]

[Yes!! This year's G2 is even stronger than last year. Although they lost to GRF in the group stage, they lost only after fighting hard in the late stage. This time, they must not be underestimated! ]

Regarding the quarterfinals, netizens have also started to discuss it, especially about EDG vs. G2.

In the eyes of many people, G2 is very weak, but those who have watched the game carefully will find that G2 is not only capable of making trouble, but their strength is also not weak.

Especially this season!!

G2 has won the championship for the whole year. As long as they win the world championship, they will have a grand slam! !
……

The topic of the battle between EDG and G2 is getting more and more intense!!

After all, the first match of the knockout round is between two teams!!

Before the game, many people realized that this year's G2 is stronger than last year, but EDG has not yet announced the first stop roster.

Although it is confirmed that Gu Chen will play in the quarterfinals, it is not clear whether he will start in the middle lane or in the top lane!
Some people want Gu Chen to play in the middle lane, after all, Gu Chen's strength in the middle lane is obvious to all!!

But there are also some people who think that they know from previous revelations that Gu Chen’s top lane warrior is invincible, and they really want to see whether Gu Chen really has this ability.

that's it……

Gu Chen's debut immediately became a hot topic!!

at last!

The day of the competition has arrived!!
October 10th!!

In Madrid, Spain, the knockout round of the S9 season has begun!!
And EDG also had their first match on this day!!

Because it is the home court of LEC, most of the people in the audience are fans supporting G2, but there are also many EDG fans who come to the scene.

It’s domestic.

Before the game started, the popularity of the live broadcast room had already reached over 50 million.

Countless Chinese players and viewers focused their attention on this LPL quarterfinals first match!!

EDG fans are more excited!
Been looking forward to it for over a month!!
They can finally see Gu Chen appear on stage!!

In the commentary booth, EDG's quarterfinal match was commented on by the familiar Wawa, Miller and Jide.

Miller said with a smile on his face: "Welcome to the 2019 Global Finals! Hello everyone! I am Miller!"

"Hello everyone, I remember!"

"Hello everyone, I am Doll!"

Miller was the host and controller, standing in the middle, with Wawa and Mi Le standing on his left and right. He continued, "For today's quarterfinals, I think the audience is looking forward to the start of this game just like me!"

"Today's game will also be very exciting. One team is EDG, the No. 2 seed from our LPL, and the other is G, the No. seed from LEC. Both teams are very strong!"

"G2 has performed very well this season and is considered by LEC to be the team with the best chance of winning the championship!!"

I also remember saying, “Yes! G2 and EDG are old rivals. Last season, G2 lost to EDG. This season, they meet again and they want revenge on EDG!!”

"However, this year's EDG is still as strong as ever and has won the summer championship again. Both Zz1tai and Wuzhai are in great shape."

"And Maoshen! In that match, the strength he showed in the middle lane was no weaker than in his peak period! And today, Maoshen will be the starting player!!"

Hear news about Gu Chen.

No matter whether it was the audience from LPL or LEC, they were all stunned!
Cat God is coming!

Is it the top or the middle?

"The backstage has already confirmed Cat God's starting lineup..."

Wawa paused deliberately, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "The Cat God that everyone has been waiting for for a long time will play in the top position in today's game!!"

wow-

As soon as Wawa said this, the whole Internet went wild.

[He really is the top laner! So the rumors are true? ? ]

[Come to think of it, EDG dares to let Maoshen play top lane, which shows that Maoshen is capable in the top lane. It is really like what IG said, Maoshen's top lane has some warrior skills!! ]

[Oh my god! He's really starting in the top lane!!]

[I wonder if Cat God will bring out the Warrior in today's game. I'm looking forward to it! ]

[+10086...]

……

In the discussion room.

The teams from both sides have entered the field and started the BP phase.

first.

EDG is on the red side and G2 is on the blue side.

As soon as it comes up.

G2 did not target Gu Chen's top laner. It seemed that Wunder was no longer afraid of Gu Chen's top laner this time.

No matter it is a mage or a tank, there is no ban!!
In the first pick, G2's top laner picked Jayce right away! !

On the commentary desk, Wawa exclaimed: "Jace!!"

"Wow!! No wonder Wunder didn't ban Cat God's heroes. This Jayce is enough to deal with all of Cat God's mages in the top lane!!"

Miller said: "G2's move was really amazing. Now it will be difficult for Cat God to use any heroes!!"

In Gu Chen's games, he only used some mid-lane mage heroes to play top lane or tank.

Wunder's Jayce is simply a sure kill and can deal with almost all of Gu Chen's long-range mages.

at this time!!
The faces of EDG fans were filled with pain.

[It's over! I told you so! In the last world competition, Maoshen really had the advantage of a longer arm. Now that a season has passed, they will definitely come up with a countermeasure! ]

[This Jayce is really thin! How does Cat God play it? ? ]

[Don’t worry! Don’t worry!! You have to think about it. We can think of these problems. Can EDG and Maoshen not think of them? They definitely have a plan to deal with them! ]

[That’s right!! EDG has already let Maoshen start as the top laner, all of these are under consideration!! ]

——G2 Team!!
Wunder stared at the screen with a smile on his face and said contemptuously, "Surprising? Surprising? I will definitely get back the ground I lost last season this season!"

He has been training hard for a whole season.

I have experience in playing against various long-handed single-player games, including mages.

So no matter what hero Gu Chen takes out, he is confident in fighting.

at the same time!

In the EDG team seat, no one looked surprised, as they had expected Wunder's Jayce.

Very normal!!

Very reasonable! !

"Then I'll just go out!"

Gu Chen said as he slid the mouse.

Maokai nodded slightly, then said, "Okay!"

The next second! !

Gu Chen found a hero!
locking! !
"I long for a worthy opponent!"

A sharp female voice echoed throughout the competition venue.

In full view.

Everyone saw that figure clearly!!

The whole audience was suddenly shocked!!! (End of this chapter)
