Chapter 418: A Little Bit of Luck, LGD Advances to the Group Stage
To be honest, there are many factors that affect the outcome of e-sports.
Confidence, morale, etc. are all important factors,
but in the final analysis, it still depends on the strength of the players.
Hauntzer's way of playing Jayce obviously does not match his confidence.
The result is that Jayce was beaten by the opponent's top laner, the big worm.
The advantage lane that should have played the most advantage was beaten in the laning phase, so it was a miracle if they didn't lose.
In this extra game, TSM was directly beaten by the Rabbit Team.
At the last moment, the second seed of Europe advanced from Group D and squeezed out the top seed of North America.
For everyone in TSM, it was really a case of extreme joy and sorrow.
They were happy for less than an hour, and then the power went out.
This kind of pain is worse than being eliminated directly at the beginning.
If we had known this earlier, it would be better for WE to lose to the Rabbit Team and TSM to be eliminated directly.
In this way, we don't have to go back and forth between the two extremes of emotion.
As the dust settled in Group D, WE advanced as the group leader.
There is only one day left in the second round of the group stage, which means tomorrow, on the 15th, the two qualifying places for Group A where LGD is located will be decided.
However, as WE, the third seed of LPL, qualified as the first in the group, the entire LGD team could clearly feel that the invisible pressure on them was increasing.
It's very simple. In this global finals, RNG and WE, as the second and third seeds, both made it to the quarterfinals with a record of five wins and one loss in the group stage.
Not to mention that RNG also defeated the LCK team twice in the group stage.
In this case, LGD, as the number one seed of LPL in this world championship, should not you also get the first place in the group?
Everyone is the first in the group, so you have to get the first place in the group.
This is the simple emotional expression from the vast majority of LPL viewers.
No one thought that LGD would not be able to qualify from the group.
Group A was considered the group with the clearest qualifying situation from the beginning, that is, LGD and SKT would qualify from Group A.
Now, for the global audience, the only suspense is who will be the first in Group A between LGD and SKT.
In the first round, LGD lost to SKT.
Although SKT in the S game is a completely different concept.
But many viewers think that in the next second round of group matches, LGD and SKT will still have a fight.
And in the case that RNG and WE both qualify as the first in the group, if LGD can qualify as the first in the group, there is another advantage.
That is, the three LPL teams participating in the world game this time all qualify as the first in the group.
In this way, the LPL teams will not meet each other in the top eight games.
Most LPL viewers still don’t want to see LPL civil war in the world game.
As for those who hope for a civil war in the quarterfinals and send LPL to the semifinals, that is only a very small number. It belongs to the S game in the past two years. LPL lost too badly and was really too scared.
What you want to get, in the final analysis, you have to fight for it with strength!
October 15th, the last day of the entire S7 World Finals group stage schedule.
In the first round of the group stage, Group A, which finished the first round of the group stage first, had its second round of the group stage scheduled on the last day.
This also gave all the teams in Group A, including LGD, eight days of rest time.
It is said to be a rest time, but of course it is impossible to really rest.
At least in LGD, they have been maintaining high-intensity training these days.
In the first three days of the second round of the group stage, each team frequently came up with "unique tricks", which was also a great gain for LGD.
Only by learning more can we make progress.
During the global finals, one version, so many teams, and one month of playing, can basically develop the version to the extreme.
In the end, it is a competition of who is improving faster.
Even in the past global finals, a few teams that have been crushing all the way from the beginning of the world game to the end of the world game have been constantly improving during the global finals.
Standing still will only be left behind by others.
Today's game will still start at 12 noon.
"Okay, everyone, welcome to the 2017 World Championship. Today we are going to compete for the qualification of Group A."
"The players decided in Group A today will also be the last two places in the quarterfinals of this World Championship."
"Hello, everyone. I'm Zeyuan."
"Hello, everyone. I'm Su Xiaoyan."
The commentators for the first three games today are Guan Zeyuan and Su Xiaoyan, the classic "Yan and Guan" combination.
"In the previous two days of competition, RNG and WE in our LPL region both had a record of five wins and one loss, and advanced to the quarterfinals as the first in the group."
After a pause, Guan Zeyuan continued: "Today's Group A also has the No. 1 seed LGD team from our LPL region. I think there will be no problem in qualifying from the group."
"I just don't know if we can qualify from Group A as the first in the group like RNG and WE."
"I think this is a bit difficult." Su Xiaoyan followed.
"After all, there is the three-time champion SKT in the same group, and SKT's current record is ahead of LGD. It is difficult to beat SKT to qualify, but there is still a chance!"
Su Xiaoyan said this.
It seems like she said nothing!
"Okay, don't say much, we will start our first game today."
In the first game, the two sides were SKT and AHQ.
At present, another team from the Bay Race -Lightning Wolf has been lifted.
Then AHQ is the last independent seedlings in the Bay Division.
Of course, the C9 of Group A today is also the last independent seedlings in the North American region.
AHQ's current record is zero -win and three losses, and there are strong teams such as LGD and SKT in the same group.
Therefore, the audience on the Wanwan did not expect them to be able to go out in the group.
I just hope that they can at least win the next group match BO1 like the Lightning Wolf, so that they will keep a little face in the end.
Otherwise, he returned home in zero or six losses in the group stage and was shaved with his head, and it was too shameful.
However, the face is strived for yourself, and it has never been given by others.
AHQ, this game with SKT, seems that only Zhong Shanximen wants to compete for face, and his team friendship seems to be no more angry.
As an upcoming veteran, Ximen Ye said that he may not want to leave regrets on this stage.
So he chose the signature hero -Little Mermaid in the Fifth Floor of Blue Fang.
Seeing the little mermaid, Faker chose Cassing after the Cang special position on the fifth floor of the red party.
In terms of heroes alone, Cas Command is indeed Kangter.
But during the line period, the little mermaid did not have the opportunity to kill Casadin alone. This depends on the method.
Ximen Ye said that he really lived up to the title of the world's first little mermaid. This set really killed Faker alone.
And it's still a single tower!
Ximen Ye said that the flash of Faker's Faker, the Flash of the Little Mermaid E Flash Synchronous Cassin's flash, completed the single kill.
There was a cheering at the scene.
Even if it is not a supporter of the Bay Division, he can't help applauding this wonderful Single Tower.
The "last dance" of the little mermaid in Simon can be said to have no regrets.
But when I returned to the game, the single kill was returned to the single kill, but AHQ could not take the victory of this game.
After all, the two teams have a large gap in hard power.
After this game, SKT's record came to four wins and zero.
AHQ was defeated in four games.
Although theoretically, AHQ has not been completely eliminated.
But everyone knows that in the same group, there is a LGD after all, and AHQ is impossible to re -engraving the FNC's magical qualifying experience.
Next is the LGD and C9 games.
In the last game with C9, Zhou Ting not only killed Da Mu, but also wore the C9 team.
In this game, C9 actually fell in the first round of BP.
You know, in this world competition, in all the previous competitions, most of the time, the first three -hand selection of the two sides was chosen to play wild and lower.
Therefore, there are basically no teams on the first three -hand BAN hero.
It can be seen to what extent C9 is afraid of Jess in Zhou Ting.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Of course, the LGD of this game is the blue recipe, and C Jess barely said.
With the deepening of this World Championship, more and more teams have discovered that at present, Jess has stood on the top of the ecological chain on the road, as if there is really no natural enemy.
Absolute T0 order.
Of course, the premise is that you are the top Jess.
Jess's hero, in the hands of different players, is too different.
If LGD snatched Jess, Damu consciously had no hero to take out Jess, so he simply dropped Jess Ban in the first round.
Choose the first round.
The blue side of LGD chose the prince, Galio, and Lulu's Nakano Fu in the first three -hand.
C9 chose the lower two -handed two -person group and jungle.
In the second round of BP, C9 and BAN dropped Lambo and Qinggangying.
The C9 chooses a noble mouth on the AD bit, and is still a little afraid of these two heroes.
The prince Gario was a bit uncomfortable. He came with a Qinggang shadow. It was really a fixed blast.
Subsequently, Damu chose the big bug on the fourth floor of the Red Fang, and did not want Kangte on the fifth floor.
Zhou Ting was too lazy to fight his wisdom, and LGD chose the big tree directly on the fourth floor.
Little hand!
C so many games, what's wrong with it!
This game on the road is the classic duel of the last two versions. The big tree hit the big bug.
Then LGD only released AD on the fifth floor and chose a female police.
This LGD was a four guarantee.
Before Zhou Ting came to LGD, LGD played the most of the IMP tactics of the following roads.
Even after Zhou Ding's "Frontier", LGD's thermal number of times in the game has become less.
But this craft has not fallen, it can be taken out at any time.
The commentary is on the seat.
"Many viewers know that Zhou Shen's soldiers have some outputs and the order is very good." Guan Zeyuan said.
"However, Zhou Shen's tank is also very good, but the number of times the times in the game was relatively not much."
"Of course, in this global finals, by the four groups of LGD, Zhou Shen has chosen three tanks!"
"."
With the chatter's chat, the ten heroes of the two sides also entered the Summoner Canyon.
The scene was immediately filled with voices cheering for LGD.
I can only say that playing at home is quite comfortable!
No matter what positions these fans have within the LPL.
But during the World Championship, most LPL audiences followed the same principle.
That is to be united against the outside world.
In the battle against C9 again, although LGD changed a set of lineups and a set of playing styles, the result was no different.
After all, there is a big gap between the two teams in terms of hard power.
When there is no advantage in BP, as long as the players on both sides play normally, this gap in hard power is also the gap in the situation on the field.
C9's three-core lineup of jungler Graves, mid-lane Ryze, and bottom lane Kog'Maw, everyone has to develop, and can't stop LGD's endless offensive in the early stage.
LGD will not give C9 the opportunity to develop to the late stage.
Using the advantages of the policewoman's laning and long arms, the lead in the bottom lane was quickly rolled to the whole court without any drag.
Facing LGD's fast push, C9 was completely unable to resist, and the development of the three core players in the late game was severely compressed.
If we say that in the last game against C9, LGD's attack based on Jayce was a quick cut.
Then in this game against C9, LGD's attack based on Miss Fortune was a slow boil.
Although the scene was not as intense as the last game against C9.
But as all the resources on the field were gradually eroded by LGD, C9 could only sit and wait for death.
Finally, at the beginning of thirty-three minutes, the entire LGD team carried their second dragon buff in this game and flattened C9's base crystal in one wave.
In the whole game, more than thirty minutes, C9 did not push down any of LGD's defense towers.
In fact, this game was easier to win than the last game against C9, although the game took nearly ten minutes longer.
In the last game against C9, LGD was a knife team, carrying too much offensive pressure.
They didn't play an advantage in the early stage, so they just gave it away.
Having gained an advantage in the early stage, they are also facing the risk of being overturned at any time. If they make a small mistake, the game will be over. It is actually a bit of a tightrope walk.
In this game, the situation was in LGD's hands from beginning to end.
After only ten minutes of playing, C9 had lost any chance of a comeback.
It can only be said that some teams died at ten minutes and buried after more than thirty minutes.
On the commentary seat.
"Okay, congratulations to LGD for winning this match against C9!" Guan Zeyuan said loudly.
"LGD's current group stage record has reached three wins and one loss, still behind SKT, temporarily ranked second in Group A!"
"Then with the end of this game, I have to say with regret that the AHQ team from the LMS region has no chance of qualifying from Group A."
AHQ's current record is zero wins and four losses.
Even if he wins the next two games, the final group stage result is only two wins.
At present, Group A already has a three-win LGD and a four-win SKT.
There are only two qualifying spots in a group, and AHQ can never rank in the top two of Group A.
In other words, AHQ has been eliminated from the group two rounds in advance.
The last two games of AHQ are basically insignificant "entertainment games".
The audience in the Taiwan region wailed, and their last "theoretical" hope of qualifying was shattered.
Now they can only hope that AHQ can win a game, otherwise it would be too miserable to be shaved bald.
In the group stage of this global finals, except AHQ, the other fifteen teams have won at least one group stage BO1 game.
If AHQ becomes the only team in the entire S7 World Championship to be shaved bald in the group stage, it would be a shame.
