Chapter 416 Three Teams Play Off, the Most Chaotic Group in the History of the S League!

After the 6 BO1s on the 8th, the 16 teams participating in the World Finals have finished the first three group matches.

The first round of the group stage has come to an end.

The second round of the group stage will start on the 12th, four days later.

Halfway through the group stage, SKT in Group A is currently ranked first with three wins.

In Group B, Longzhu Team is ranked first with three wins.

In Group C, RNG is ranked first with three wins.

As for Group D, WE and Rabbit Team both have two wins and one loss.

However, based on the current win-loss relationship, WE is temporarily ranked first in Group D.

In other words, of the three teams currently participating in the S7 World Championship of LPL, except LGD, the other two are the first in the group.

LGD is still the number one seed of LPL this year, which seems a bit embarrassing.

There is no game to play at the moment, what can the fans of each team do?

Isn’t it just arguing about this insignificant thing!

On the Internet, facing those words with a bit of thorns, LGD fans can't say anything.

After all, it is a fact that LGD is now the second in the group, and not every fan group has the ability to output strongly against the wind.

After experiencing the expansion incident of the S5 World Championship, LGD fans now know how to be low-key and make a fortune quietly.

Therefore, in terms of combat effectiveness, the "Optimistic Family" and the other two top fan groups of LPL, "Pigs and Dogs", cannot be compared.

Then we have to use the ancestral skills that all netizens have - tough mouth!

Many LGD fans said that it depends on whether we win SKT in the next game!

Anyway, the harsh words have been released, so we can only hope that LGD can win SKT in the next round of group matches.

As for what to do if we don't win?

What else can we do? Be an ostrich!

Anyway, it's not a real-name Internet access, just pretend that nothing happened.

In general, the Internet has no memory.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Often when the dog is beaten when it is down and the wall is down, the Internet has memory again.

In the days without competition, all teams have been engaged in intensive training.

Even the teams with a record of zero wins and three losses have not given up.

After all, there is still hope of qualifying. As long as they win three consecutive games in the second round, they can at least get a playoff.

We still have to have dreams, what if they come true?

In the training matches between the teams in the past few days, there is also a sense of chaos, and all kinds of strange hero routines have been brought out.

However, most of them are brought out by teams that are currently in a very unfavorable position.

After all, the hard power is not enough, so we can only hope to win by surprise.

In the past few days, after seeing a lot of tricks and operations, Zhou Dian also felt that his thinking was greatly expanded.

When you see something new, you have to learn it. He also took this opportunity to practice a few tricks that his opponents in the training match brought out.

Whether it is useful or not is another matter, and the specific situation will be analyzed.

But it is always good to have more moves, so it is better to be prepared!

In the high-intensity training day after day, four days passed quickly.

The second round of the S7 World Championship group stage has arrived.

The schedule of the second round of the group stage has also been adjusted.

The first round started at 3 pm every day.

Now it has changed to 12 noon every day.

In each World Championship, the start time of the second round of the group stage is always earlier than the first round, which is also considering some factors such as the extra game in the second round.

On October 12, the second round of the group stage will start.

Today, the two qualifying places in Group B will be decided.

At present, the qualifying situation of Group B should be said to be the clearest among all the groups.

The first team in the group, Longzhu Team, is unique in strength, and its record is also three wins and zero losses. It is basically a foregone conclusion that it will qualify as the first team in the group.

Originally, the competition for the second place in Group B was still a bit suspenseful.

Before the start of the group stage, the outside world generally believed that IMT and FNC in this group were similar in strength and were the second-tier teams in this group.

As for the Vietnamese team GAM, it was generally believed that it would be eliminated at the bottom of the group.

As a result, after three games in the first round, FNC lost three games in a row.

Now, in everyone's opinion, there is no suspense about the second place in Group B, which is basically the second seed of North America, IMT.

However, the final result of this group was beyond everyone's expectations.

Before the second round, Group B, which was originally considered to have the clearest qualifying situation, actually played the most complicated group qualifying situation in the history of the S game so far!

In the first game, the Vietnamese team GAM directly used the ultimate move, the top crab and the jungle Kayn caught IMT off guard and couldn't resist.

Relying on the strange move, GAM finally defeated IMT easily and chased the record to two wins and two losses, the same as IMT.

In a hotel in Jiangcheng, in the training room of the LGD team, Zhou Dian and Dgc were thoughtful after watching this game.

When the crab hero was just revised more than two months ago, Zhou Dian actually practiced it well.

His crab proficiency is also quite good, but he has never had the opportunity to use it.

Now it seems that the effect is OK, and I can consider Crab at some point.

As for the hero Kayn, Dgc thinks that LGD does not need to consider it at present.

For the GAM team, they have long been centered around jungler Levi.

But Eimy is not very good at playing other jungle heroes except Graves.

And LGD has never played a system with jungle as the core.

This thing cannot be practiced in a short time.

This is a change in thinking, which requires a long and subtle process.

It is not about practicing operations, just practice it.

GAM won IMT right away, and now everyone thinks that the Vietnamese are unwilling to be eliminated like this, and they have to compete with IMT for the second place in this group.

As for FNC, no one thinks they can still qualify from the group.

After all, with their current record of zero wins and three losses, one foot has stepped off the cliff.

Moreover, FNC's opponent in the next game is still one of the favorites to win the world championship, the No. 1 seed of LCK, Longzhu Team.

There was no surprise, Longzhu easily defeated FNC.

In this game, Jayce was released.

As a well-known Jayce master, Khan also locked Jayce without hesitation.

Then, Khan's Jayce beat Soaz's top lane crocodile.

Just like the Jayce of LGD's weekly peak against C9 a few days ago, it was another game where Jayce killed everyone.

Coincidentally, the commentators of these two games in LPL were Wawa and Miller.

Miller immediately sighed: "Khan's Jayce is also very strong. He and Zhou Shen's Jayce feel better than other players!"

"But I feel that these two Jayces will probably not be released later!" Miller continued.

Hearing this, Wawa smiled and said: "That's true, but I feel there is a situation where these two Jayces can be released."

"What situation?"

"LGD and Longzhu are facing each other. I feel that with Zhou Shen and Khan's confidence, they should not ban the other party's Jayce."

"It is indeed possible!"

Back to the game.

FNC actually made a big trick in this game, that is, the support Sona.

In the past few days of the offseason, many teams' supports have practiced Sona in the ranking.

FNC was the first to be brought out.

However, in this game, Ou Cheng chose a rat, and the rat's laning ability was still a little weak.

This rat and Sona's bottom lane combination was also not able to beat the golden pairing of the opponent's Kog's Mouth and Lulu.

FNC lost this game and suffered four consecutive defeats in the group stage, with a record of zero wins and four losses.

Now FNC is not just one foot out of the cliff, but both feet are hanging outside the cliff.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Of course, with the current situation in Group B, FNC cannot be sentenced to death directly, saying that FNC is 100% out of the group.

But just like the saying that is often used to say about the Chinese national football team - there is only a theoretical possibility of qualifying from the group!

Theoretically, there is indeed a possibility of qualifying from the group.

But in fact, it is impossible!

If this possibility is so easy to happen, there is no need to add the three words "theoretically".

Next, it is FNC's back-to-back game, and the opponent is IMT.

On the day when the group qualification was decided, except for the No. 1 seed in the group, all other teams had to play back-to-back games, that is, two games in a row.

And the first back-to-back game fell on FNC.

Who told you that you were a team that came up from the qualifying round? You just have no "human rights".

It seems that it's just two BO1 games in a row, which seems nothing, and the knockout rounds still have BO5.

But this is playing two different opponents in a row, which is inherently disadvantageous for back-to-back teams.

Everyone thought that FNC's S7 World Championship journey was over.

They would be eliminated from the group stage in advance with five consecutive losses.

However, after a hard battle, FNC defeated IMT with difficulty.

While getting their first victory in the group stage, they also retained their "theoretical" possibility of qualifying from the group.

Of course, this "theoretically" still depends on the opponent's face.

Then there was the game between GAM and Longzhu. As long as the Vietnamese won, FNC would be eliminated from the group.

However, after FNC defeated IMT, although Longzhu had won four consecutive games and advanced to the next round, it had not yet secured the first place in the group, so there was no possibility that they would let the Vietnamese go.

The Vietnamese were also very motivated after seeing IMT lose.

As long as they could win Longzhu in this game, they would basically advance from the group.

Because IMT's last opponent was Longzhu, facing Longzhu, who had not yet secured the first place in the group, IMT had little chance of winning.

In this game, Longzhu did not underestimate the opponent from the wildcard region and banned their Crab and Kayn, who had performed well in the previous game.

So in this game against Longzhu, GAM used another "big move" and took out the jungle Warwick that no one had played for a long time.

And this game was indeed the most difficult battle that Longzhu had played so far in this world championship.

It was a pity that after fighting for 50 minutes, GAM was still defeated by Longzhu.

This also led to FNC, who currently had one win and four losses, still retaining the hope of advancing from the group.

Next up is GAM's back-to-back match against FNC.

GAM lost after a hard fight and their morale is low, while FNC sees hope of qualifying and their morale is high.

As one team gained strength while the other lost, FNC actually played a crushing game in this game, easily defeating the Vietnamese team.

Of course, the most important point is that nearly four hours after GAM selected the top and jungle combination of Crab and Kayn, FNC came up with a countermeasure.

So in this round of BP, FNC did not ban Crab and Kayn like Longzhu did, but released them.

GAM also did not hesitate and directly locked Crab and Kayn.

So.

Fell into the trap!

Lost miserably!

After this game, the six group stage BO1s between FNC and GAM were played.

The final group stage record of the two teams was the same, both with two wins and four losses.

FNC, who started the group stage with four consecutive losses, seems to have a growing hope of qualifying from the group.

As long as Longzhu defeats IMT in the last regular group match today, FNC can play a tiebreaker.

But at this time, both GAM and FNC began to worry.

Because Longzhu had already secured the first place in the group one round in advance, they were afraid that Longzhu would let IMT win in the last game.

As long as IMT beat Longzhu in this game, they would qualify as the second in the group, and FNC and GAM could only accept the outcome of being eliminated.

So IMT also tried their best in this game and vowed to defeat Longzhu.

When they saw the starting lineup of Longzhu in this game, the players of both FNC and GAM panicked.

Khan didn't play!

After securing the first place in the group in advance, Longzhu withdrew the absolute tactical core of the team-top laner Khan in the last game.

Replaced with substitute top laner Rascal.

What does this mean? Is this the rhythm of letting IMT win!

Many LPL viewers who were watching the game also cursed the Koreans for not being moral.

Is this to help them, the "American father", qualify from the group?

The FNC team is still quite popular among LPL viewers.

Compared with the Vietnamese team GAM and the North American team IMT, most LPL viewers hope that FNC can finally qualify from the group.

However, despite the change of top laner, the five players on the Longzhu field were playing seriously and there was no messing around.

It seems that Longzhu wants to strive for a perfect victory to qualify.

It is a record to qualify in the S game with a perfect victory. There are very few teams that can do it, so it is worth striving for.

The last group match of Group B between IMT and Longzhu was another bladder game of more than 50 minutes.

And it is not just the ten players on the field who are suffering from bladders.

All the players and coaches of the two teams FNC and GAM are suffering from bladders.

The players on the field can't go to the toilet, and they don't even dare to go to the toilet.

They are afraid that going to the toilet will turn IMT's disadvantage into an advantage.

In the end, Longzhu still defeated IMT without any danger and qualified from Group B with a perfect record.

This is also the third team to qualify from the group with a perfect record in the global finals after SSW in S4 and SKT in S5.

The first two teams eventually won the S-League championship.

Longzhu, which was one of the favorites to win the World Championship, was even more favored by the outside world after qualifying from the group with a perfect record.

Many LPL viewers lamented pessimistically: Longzhu is so strong, how can our LPL team play? Is the S-League destined to be dominated by Korean teams!

After Longzhu qualified with a perfect record in six games, the remaining three teams in Group B all had two wins and four losses.

The most important thing is that the records of these three teams against each other are the same.

Therefore, to determine the second qualifying spot for Group B, a three-team tiebreaker is needed, which has never appeared in the history of the S-League.
