Chapter 432 Each Group’s Qualifying Format!

The applause was thunderous and deafening.

Amidst the congratulations of Wang Duoduo and Rita, the five young men in white stood up from their positions confidently and calmly, and walked unhurriedly to the opponent they had just defeated.

FNC player seats!

Caps, who was in high spirits before the game, was stroking the golden hairs on his head with a helpless expression.

It was obvious that they had a big advantage at the beginning, taking the lives of the IG bottom lane duo, but starting from the Canyon Pioneer team in 15 minutes, the situation became a mess, and everything developed in an uncontrollable direction.

Although the European division does not focus on operations, it will definitely operate when it is time to operate.

But with an economic advantage of 2200 in 15 minutes, FNC was directly destroyed by two waves of team battles launched by IG.

19 minutes to game time.

The score on the field changed from 3-6 to 9-12.

In the economic aspect, IG directly flattened the gap with FNC.

This is really confusing!

But just when he was still looking at the post-match data panel in a daze, he suddenly felt his shoulder being tapped twice.

Well.

Caps quickly stood up, because losing the game was so inexplicable that he was so puzzled that he almost forgot about the post-match fist bump.

Taking a deep breath, Caps adjusted his emotions.

When he stretched out his fist, an eye-catching head broke into his field of vision.

It's Jakelove, the AD player of the IG team. It is said that this guy is only 17 years old, a little younger than himself!

boom!

The two fists collided.

Caps thanked Jakelove in his heart.

Although he lost the game, he showed Yasuo's outstanding performance in this game.

And the biggest supporter of this picture is Jakelove.

If the opponent hadn't acted too quickly and attracted the hatred of the defense tower before the support, he might have been killed instantly, and there would have been no exciting counter-kill later!

"IG also won."

“In the first round of this year’s group stage, did we all win the LPL 3-0?”

The director, who had just taken a shower, came to the training room that had been transformed from a hotel suite.

"You didn't win all 3-0, right?"

"Didn't IG lose the first game today?"

Mala Xiangguo recalled it.

EDG and RNG lived up to expectations and easily ended the first round of the group stage with a 3-0 record.

Group D, where IG started, was a little careless in the first game and lost to AFS in the LCK division.

It's not particularly disappointing for the No. 3 seed in the division to lose to the No. 2 seed.

However, against the backdrop of the complete victory of the pigs and dogs, IG's failure in the first round was very regrettable.

Fortunately, we won FNC in the last round today, which made the LPL viewers who watched the game breathe a sigh of relief.

The No. 3 seed defeated the No. 1 seed in Europe. What does this mean?

IG definitely has the strength, and losing to AFS is just an accident.

After all, AFS, a dark horse team in the LCK division this season, has a style similar to that of IG, and the lengthy operation is what both parties dislike the most.

The team is full of young people who like to fight passionately during games.

Therefore, from the beginning of the game, there is a collision of various small team battles.

These small group battles are most likely to lead to accidents

IG was able to stabilize the opponent's side in the mid lane and bottom lane, but they didn't play too many lanes at all.

From the first little dragon, the two sides fell into a melee.

In the end, a 35-minute game ended with 44 kills!

It can be described as extremely cruel.

"It's okay to lose a game."

"2-1"

"As long as we can steadily defeat 100T in the group stage next week, we won't go home in the top 16. At least we will have a playoff to play in."

After making some silent calculations in his mind, the factory director said happily:

"Actually, it would be better if IG could qualify first in the group."

"This way our three LPL teams will not meet each other in the quarterfinals."

"Maybe we can play siege during the semi-finals this year!"

In fact, through the first round of the group stage, it is relatively easy to calculate the list of teams for the knockout rounds.

Group A, if nothing else, is the EDG team and the C9 team.

The Flash Wolves team in the group, which is familiar to LPL viewers, is just like Ultraman Tiga running out of energy, completely losing its BO1 God of War attitude in this year's Mid-Season Championship.

When facing the EDG and C9 teams, they were easily defeated by the opponent, without any ability to fight back.

As for Group B, there is a high probability that RNG and Samsung will qualify.

It's actually a bit of a shock.

Because, in the three games played by the Samsung team on the second match day, the winning games were very difficult to win, while the losing games were quite clean and tidy.

All in all, this dark horse team in last year's World Championship no longer has the glory of yesterday. They are like an old man waiting to die. They can only rely on experience to obtain a small victory with difficulty. Facing a stronger team than themselves, what awaits them The ending is a coffin board.

If it weren't for the fact that except for RNG in Group B, the other two teams were either the No. 3 seeds in the European and American divisions or wild card teams, the strength shown by Samsung might not necessarily qualify.

In Group C, the KT team fully met the expectations of the fans in the host country. Like EDG and RNG, they perfectly ended their first round matchup with a score of 3:0.

In addition to KT, the team that performed more impressively was the G2 team.

As the third seed in the European division, compared to the Lions in Group B, G2 can be said to be far more powerful on the field.

While other European and American teams and wild card teams are still competing in the King of Kitchen competition, the G2 team seems to have figured out some tricks for the World Championship version, and they played quite well in the early stages of every game.

The loss to the KT team was also due to the fact that after the game reached the late stage, the five players of the G2 team were toyed to death by the four veterans of the KT team using their game experience.

In the first 15 minutes or even the first 20 minutes, G2 always had the advantage.

"I am afraid it will be a bit difficult for IG to qualify first in the group." Jiang Zhun said: "The loss to AFs was too hurt. Now FNC, IG, and AFS in Group D are all 2-1, and the three teams have all taken one point from each other. ”

"If they want to qualify first in the group, IG must win three games in the next week's games."

"Otherwise, Group D may have to play a playoff."

Jiang Zhun defaulted that 100T would bid farewell to the World Championship group stage with a record of 0-6.

After all, this wild card team is lucky enough to advance from the qualifying round to the group stage. If they can win the four major regions, it will be enough for them to brag about the entire season.

"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to seeing if 100T can explode and win a random team in the next round."

“This year’s World Championship hasn’t been any fun yet!”

"It's a bit boring." The spicy hotpot was heartless.

In the first two years of the World Championships, something always happened. This also gave players something to talk about and kill time while training.

But so far in this year's World Championship, only RNG and Letme have scored five kills, allowing everyone to discuss it.

"Actually, I feel like there should be an upset."

"Through the game data of these four days, it is not difficult to find that the rhythm of the game has changed. The laning period has changed from the original ten minutes to now having to wait until 16 or 17 minutes before the fight can begin."

Lao Fan, who had not played for a long time, touched his iconic Mediterranean and said: "And the idea of ​​revising this year's World Championship is actually similar to that of the Spring Split."

"It's all about cutting down the AD core, and then creating a bunch of spells, bot lane, or some other messy heroes."

"But in the World Championship version, the lineup is still very strong. Teams like RNG in our region, Samsung and KT in the LCK region all rely on the bot lane to enter the World Championship."

"So in my opinion, these three teams may have problems in the knockout rounds."

"Sure, just maybe."

"After all, these are group stage data."

The summer version is basically just over 10 minutes. The fight can begin at eleven or twelve minutes.

Like the RNG team, what they like most is to test the bottom lane, and then rely on the advantage of the bottom lane to use various small-scale team battles to defeat the opponent in the mid-term.

Then, after reaching a huge advantage, they control various public resources, such as dragon, Rift Herald, and Baron. When the advantage of the game is so great that RNG feels that they can compete in a wave, they will push forward very decisively in the middle.

Nowadays, as the rhythm of the game changes, it will be more difficult for this style of play to be successfully operated.

This is mainly due to the fact that top lane heroes like Sion Ornn, who don’t need much money in the early stage, are used less and less in games.

However, Akali, the sword girl and sword demon who is more mainstream in the version, does not have the means to force a group fight to control, so as to cooperate with the advantage of massaging the bottom lane in the early stage.

“I observed it and found that G2’s understanding of the version is actually very correct.”

"They will fight whichever path has the advantage."

"When facing the traditional bottom lane strong teams in our LPL and LCK divisions, we will choose a support Tahm in the early stage to make the transition."

"This prevents the bottom lane from recruiting 3 packs of 2s and 4 packs of 2s to jump over the tower at the beginning."

Lao Fan was furious, constantly looking for key examples from the team samples in the group stage that gave him those reasons.

"The G2 team is like this. They focus on the middle and top lanes. The bottom lane is at a disadvantage against slightly stronger teams."

"So they made a very smart choice. The early task of the bottom lane is to gain experience without dying."

"And through the roaming of the jungle, the tactical position of the mid-to-upper level is strengthened."

"Actually, this is more similar to IG."

"It's just that all three lines of IG are very strong. King Ning will help whichever line has an advantage."

"It will become quite comfortable to play the rhythm this way."

The factory director thought for a while and then said: "I didn't expect IG to lose to afs today. It wasn't the summer game before. When they played the training match, they said that IG could win 8 out of 10 games against this team."

"Teach the apprentice and starve the master to death." Abu said: "This year we actually have to focus on the LCK."

"Because after the knockout rounds are over, everyone will basically not be able to find a team that can play training matches."

"However, this year's World Championship is held in the Great Cold Kingdom, so they still have an advantage."

"If the LCK division can really advance two or even three teams to the semi-finals, I guess the LCK officials may personally leave the game and directly recall a certain LCK team that is on vacation and let them serve as sparring partners."

During S7, the IG team was the training team of the LPL, so it is not surprising that Abramovich made this speculation.

Although the LCK division did not organize their sparring team this year, Dahan Ming Kingdom is the host after all, and the country is not very big in the first place.

If you drive, you can cross the border in no time.

In addition, professional players basically have houses in Seoul. Under the official organization, they can gather together at any time. It is easy to organize into a training team.

"We'll talk about it later. Now it's just a matter of taking it step by step." The factory director was also a little troubled.

Although the EDG team can ask substitute players to log in to the Korean server account with the second team players to play training matches.

But on the one hand, it is the top team in the LPL, and on the other hand, there are some young people.

The strength gap between the two sides is really too big. If we play training matches like this, it will probably not have a positive effect.

On the contrary, EDG's strength will be affected.

"So we still have to watch the group stage and the knockout groupings."

"We must not have a situation where our three LPL teams are in the same half zone."

The group stage follows the principle of avoiding the same division, so there is no need to worry about teams being assigned to the same group.

But the knockout rounds depend on luck.

If IG advances to the knockout rounds as the No. 2 seed in the group, they may encounter EDG or RNG. This is actually a very bad situation.

"Our LPL is really strong this year. We must not have three teams in the same half."

"Why!"

As a club manager, Abramovich actually wants the EDG team to reach the end.

However, due to the impact of the anti-Korean war in the past few years, he still unconsciously thinks that the entire LPL can achieve better results in the World Championship.

"Yes, I feel that all three of our teams have hope of reaching the finals." Lao Fan said:

"If it were placed before S7, from the perspective of an LPL viewer, I definitely hope that the three teams can be divided into the same half. In this way, as long as one team can beat the other, then our LPL division can be stable. Guarantee a team to advance to the finals.”

"But this year, the pigs and dogs must be separated in the upper and lower halves, and then it's best if IG doesn't draw a civil war!"

As an analyst, Lao Fan is also a loyal LPL viewer. For him, it is naturally the best to see LPL break through history in the World Championship.

"Hahaha, to be honest, I am also looking forward to the finals preferably being a civil war in our LPL division."

"Why!"

"The Civil War in Busan is so exciting."

The factory director also talked freely: "If we put it in the past two years, this would have been something that would have been unthinkable."

"I really doubt that if the final is a civil war between us, will all the tickets be sold out?"

"It will definitely be sold out." Abramovich said without thinking: "Think about how hard it was to get a ticket for last year's World Championship."

"The Great Cold Underworld is not too far away from us. It only takes an hour to fly from Shandong."

"Tickets for the real civil war will be sold out in seconds!"
