Chapter 409: Quarterfinals Brawl!
The audience and fans were very concerned about this issue, and the scene immediately became quiet.
Yuan Shen replied: "Of course, if there is a chance, he will meet with you again, you can rest assured about this."
After hearing this, the audience at the scene became anxious
"Hey! That's not right. No one said they wanted to meet Prince Ning. It's you we want to see!"
"No! No! Are you mistaken?"
"Yuan Shen, we want Yuan Shen!"
"It's over, he misunderstood what we meant."
Yuan Shen actually said that on purpose, and Luo Xin also noticed it, so she chose not to expose it.
"The above is the entire interview content today. Thank you again Yuan Shen for accepting our interview. I wish IG a better performance in the knockout stage."
After the interview, Yuan Shen chose to return to the lounge.
In the lounge, everyone packed their things and got ready to leave.
Fumanduo came up and expressed condolences:
"Yuan Shen, thank you for your hard work, pack up and get ready to leave."
"Everyone has worked hard. We have done well in the group stage and hope to keep up the good work!"
Everyone in IG left the competition venue together, went back to have a meal first, and then reviewed the game.
After today's game, we have to change places in the next stage.
But there’s no rush now, we’ll wait until the other teams finish playing.
The next day, the group stage of Group B began.
Because Group B has Dragon Ball, most people regard Dragon Ball as the strongest team, so Group B has a lot of attention.
Everyone in IG gathered together to watch the game.
Fumanduo greeted: "The main thing is to see their BP and whether you can learn something from their BP."
Compared to a player's personal strength, BP is something that can be changed immediately. Of course, it requires the support of the hero pool. In this regard, IG has no problem.
However, after the game started, everyone at IG realized something was wrong.
Since Dragon Ball has brought out heroes like Kotou to compete.
BP is so messy, but they are still killing randomly, and there is no pressure at all.
Rookie commented: "I think the other teams in their group are too bad, and they can't see the true strength of Longzhu at all."
Bao Lan muttered: "Now I can confirm that Dragon Ball is definitely not good at it, it is still very powerful, but how powerful it is, I don't know."
Prince Ning had an expression of admiration on his face: "Longzhu is really fierce. This game is like fighting against a human machine. The opponent has no power to fight back."
Theshy evaluated: "I don't think Kotou is a good top lane hero, but the opponent's strength is not good enough, so he can develop easily."
In the end, Longzhu ended the group stage with six consecutive victories, exactly the same as IG.
Yuan Shen glanced at the rhythm in the anti-pressure bar:
# holding grass, Longzhu should be the most suppressive team I have ever seen.
#Fear! Who can beat him? So invincible.
#龙ball gave me the illusion that the professional players facing me were more than that.
#Me too, I think their food is good, everything is in comparison.
Now that Longzhu has been praised to the sky, all we have to do is give them awards.
At this moment, Fumanduo suddenly said: "It's strange. RNG has never asked us to play training matches. They will go up to play tomorrow. On the contrary, EDG has been asking us to play training matches."
Baolan murmured: "Is it because RNG had an easy time in their group? After they defeated SSG, other teams seemed to have no threat to them."
Fumanduo nodded: "That's right. RNG is indeed going smoothly now, which is a good thing for our division."
The next day, the Group C match began.
Because there are RNG and SSG, there is a lot of attention.
SSG's attention is quite average, far behind SKT and Longzhu.
But just because Yuan Shen expressed his optimism about SSG, the entire network is now paying attention to SSG's performance.
Of course, this kind of attention has two purposes. One is to see what the strength of SSG is and why it can be recognized by Yuan Shen.
The other is to see Yuan Shen's jokes. Now netizens have bound SSG to Yuan Shen. Basically, SSG's performance can determine Yuan Shen's reputation.
Although it feels outrageous, it just happened.
In the afternoon, everyone at IG gathered together again to watch the game.
The first game is the game between RNG and G2.
Rookie muttered: "I feel like with RNG's strength, it should be easy to handle."
Baolan agreed: "I think so. This G2 problem is quite big."
Smlz muttered: "I don't know about the middle and upper jungle, but G2's bottom lane is really not good."
However, what everyone didn't expect was that RNG actually lost to G2!
Although RNG's promotion has little impact, they have only lost one game now, but it is indeed surprising.
Smlz muttered: "If RNG will lose to G2, maybe RNG will also lose to SSG, which will be troublesome."
Rookie analyzed: "This possibility does exist. SSG is better than G2 no matter what."
The game continued, and soon it was the turn of RNG and SSG.
This game is very crucial and will determine who will be ranked first in the group.
In this game, RNG suppressed SSG throughout the whole game and beat SSG to the ground!
This is no longer an ordinary beating, it is completely killing and humiliating!
Seeing this, Baolan commented: "If that's the case, then why do I feel that SSG is a little worse than G2? At least G2 can beat RNG, and SSG has no chance at all."
Everyone subconsciously looked at Yuan Shen. After all, Yuan Shen had said before that SSG was stronger than Longzhu and SKT.
At this time, Yuan Shen was quite calm, as if all these things were within his expectations.
At the same time, more people questioned Yuan Shen online:
# No one should still think that SSG is stronger than Longzhu and SKT.
# To be honest, with SSG's strength, they were able to advance only because they met two rookies.
# If they were in Group A, I doubt they would qualify.
# Is Yuan Shen's previous rating correct? Was he deliberately throwing a smokescreen?
# Last year, SSG was in the top 16. Can they still do the opposite this year?
On the last day of the group stage, Group D started.
The IG team gathered together again to watch the game.
There was actually nothing to watch in Group D, but the important thing was the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals after the end!
This was too crucial.
In the group, EDG won the first place with a record of 5-1, losing only one game to TSM.
The most outrageous thing is that TSM's record is 1-5, that is, they only won one game, which was EDG.
Fortunately, EDG finally won the first place in the group, so no one scolded them for this situation. Some people even said that this is the spirit of e-sports, let TSM win a game, so that TSM will feel better.
After the game of Group D was played, the overall qualifying situation was determined.
First is Group A:
IG first in the group, SKT second.
Group B:
LZ first in the group, FNC second in the group.
Group C:
RNG first in the group, SSG second in the group.
Group D:
EDG first in the group, MSF second in the group.
After the group stage, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals began immediately.
Everyone in IG became serious.
Fu Manduo said, "The drawing ceremony is very important. Let's take a look at it together, although we can't change anything."
Ning Wang joked, "We can make a wish and pray. What if it works?"
Everyone laughed. This sounded like something Ning Wang would say.
Soon, the guest who drew the lot came on stage.
The host began to introduce the rules.
The rules were also quite simple. As before, the first place in the group could only meet the second place in the group.
At the same time, the first and second places in the same group avoided each other.
After the rules were introduced, the guests came on stage to draw lots.
There were two drawers, each with four small balls.
The first place in the first drawer was the first place in the group.
The second place in the second drawer was in the second drawer.
The guest first drew one from the first drawer and spread it out in front of the camera.
"Dragon Ball!" the host shouted.
"Wow!" Ning Wang shouted.
Then, the guest drew the second small ball and spread it out.
"EDG!"
The guest continued to draw.
"IG! ”
The last one is RNG.
This just confirms the order of the first place in the four groups, the second round is the focus!
The guests continued to draw lots, and everyone held their breath. Every draw at this stage is very important.
"SKT!"
SKT was drawn!
This means that Longzhu will play against SKT in the quarterfinals!
Seeing this result, everyone in IG was very happy.
I saw Baolan said: "I guess LCK fans will be sad. They must go to the quarterfinals with the first and second seeds, and it is a civil war."
Rookie agreed: "It is very uncomfortable to consume a strong team in a civil war."
Yuan Shen said: "It feels okay. SKT was double-killed by us in the group stage, which actually proved something. They are not very good in this version."
The drawing of lots continued, and the guest drew the second lot and spread it out.
"SSG!"
This means that EDG and SSG will meet in the quarterfinals.
Ning Wang commented: "I feel it is good for EDG. If they meet SSG, they should have a chance. ”
Rookie nodded: "I feel there is a chance, I hope we can win."
The guests continued to draw lots, the third one!
This one will determine who will play against IG, and everyone in IG became nervous.
However, between FNC and MSF, which one can't be too bad, right?
"MSF!"
When they saw the MSF team logo, everyone in IG became excited.
Bao Lan cheered: "Nice! They actually assigned us a rookie, isn't this just a random fight?"
Smlz was happy: "This draw is good, this person is our lucky star."
Fu Manduo also felt the same: "MSF is indeed the least bad choice for us."
Yuan Shen looked at Ning Wang: "Ning Wang, if that's the case, can you play in the quarterfinals?"
Ning Wang patted his chest and guaranteed: "Leave it to me, no problem."
Yuan Shen responded: "Then leave it to you, I said in advance, don't underestimate MSF, this team has something, don't let me come to the rescue, you have to perform well. "
Ning Wang smiled and said, "I will let them know what it means to be the No. 1 seed in LPL! Brutality!"
Seeing Ning Wang like this, Baolan complained, "Can you be more ambitious? Seeing that the opponent is a rookie, you start to pretend?"
Ning Wang retorted: "Princess Lan, this has nothing to do with you, you are complaining."
The final match was RNG vs. FNC.
Fu Manduo was quite satisfied: "RNG has a good chance, they are playing against FNC."
"If this is the case, we LPL have a chance to have three teams in the top four, and one will be guaranteed to enter the finals."
Ning Wang responded: "The final will definitely be against Longzhu, no need to watch."
Yuan Shen reminded: "You should take a look at the half zone. If Longzhu beats SKT and we beat MSF, it will be us against Longzhu. Longzhu has to beat us to enter the finals."
Ning Wang was stunned: "Is that so? Then... they are lucky."
Bao Lan muttered: "I thought you were going to say we couldn't beat Longzhu, it seems you also know."
The grouping of the quarterfinals was revealed:
LZ vs. SKT.
IG vs. MSF.
EDG vs. SSG.
RNG vs. FNC.
After this result came out, Yuan Shen went to the anti-pressure bar to see the situation.
# Damn, Longzhu and SKT met so soon, what a pity.
# Originally, Longzhu and SKT both had the strength to enter the finals, but this draw messed up LCK.
# What are you talking about, have you asked IG?
# I want to see if SSG can beat EDG after being praised so much.
After the results of the quarterfinals are announced, the rest is training.
Targeted training, there is a big difference between the knockout stage and the group stage, and the most important difference is targeting.
The group stage mainly depends on the strength of each team and the ability to understand the version.
In the knockout stage, it is necessary to study and target the opponent.
However, MSF can't really put too much pressure on IG, so IG's attention is on other teams.
After today's rest.
The quarterfinals have begun!
First is the first quarterfinal match, Longzhu vs. SKT.
The night before the game started, the news that the two teams were about to face each other was on the hot search.
The whole network was discussing this matter.
The most mentioned thing was that LPL got a big advantage.
Originally, both SKT and Longzhu were the favorites to win the championship and could bring a lot of trouble to LPL. Now, the trouble has collapsed internally and ended itself.
Of course, these are the views of fans and viewers, not Yuan Shen's views.
On the afternoon of the game, IG gathered together to watch the game.
Fu Manduo said: "The winner among them will be our opponent, and we need to take it seriously."
IG is really serious now, staring at the screen and waiting for the game to start.
The players of both sides came on the stage and began to introduce the players. From the data of the Longzhu players, it can be seen that their strength is indeed very strong. In the group stage, all kinds of data are crushing other teams.
Rookie commented: "I feel that their data is brushed out by the weak team of the same team, otherwise it would not be so outrageous."
The players came on the stage, accepted the cheers of the audience, and then sat in their respective seats, and the BP of the first game began.
Longzhu is still their very radical style, while SKT is relatively conservative, but it is also a radical style, especially in this version.
Entering the game screen, the laning phase is very important. There are too many heroes in the early stage of the lineup on both sides. The pros and cons of the laning phase can determine many things.
In the middle lane, Faker and BDD operated frantically, which was very intense, but there was no result.
In the top lane, Khan suppressed frantically and killed Huni alone to clear the level directly.
Rookie analyzed: "I suddenly feel that Longzhu seems to restrain SKT. SKT is the kind of team that can operate but likes to fight, while Longzhu is a very pure operation team."
"When SKT meets Longzhu, they like to touch it in the early stage, and then they are crushed. When they want to operate, they can no longer operate."
What surprised everyone in this game was that SKT, which has always been known for its stability, could not stabilize its bottom lane and was crushed by Longzhu's bottom lane.
The first Longzhu won a big victory! (End of this chapter)
