Speaking matter-of-factly, Guan Zeyuan's words don't sound very comfortable - in the two years of S3 and S4, the LPL relied on the so-called 'walk-in finals' grouping to allow the Old Royal Family to climb up. As a result, the Old Royal Family faced SKT and SSW was vulnerable, and was tricked by lane-changing tactics. The only game they won was a semi-welfare game played by the opponent in order to select skins.
This is also the fundamental factor why RNG revived and UZI was promoted as the world's No. 1 ADC.
A year ago, the words "walking to the final" were out-and-out black history.
However.
Think about it for a second.
This year's RNG has indeed won the whole year. It proved its strength by crushing KZ in MSI. In the intercontinental competition, it was even called the unbeatable BOSS in the world, forcing the LCK division to adopt Tian Ji's horse racing method to arrange its troops.
When Mouse, who has always been ridiculed as the bastard champion with a 0% winning rate, promised to help RNG return to the fifth game, and actually worked with a group of teammates to achieve this, no one would doubt it anymore The LPL division can achieve the final victory.
If the little IG hadn't been held back by JackeyLove, it would definitely be stronger than RNG.
EDG's regular strength is the weakest, but after inviting Tong Tiandai, who carried Tong Tiandai from last year's World Championship and this year's Asian Games, to join the team, even if they face off against RNG, the audience's support rate will reach over 70%.
From the perspective of the LPL division, no matter which team reaches the finals, they are confident enough to win back the Summoner's Championship trophy returned by EDG!
The last extra game of Group D has been played.
After some decoration, the main stage began to broadcast the draw of the quarterfinals.
For the sake of entertainment, the quarter-finals set a rule that the two qualifying teams in the same group cannot fall in the same half zone. Unless they reach the finals together, they will not meet again.
The guest invited to the stage was a Watch player who had no competition since 2015 and had no choice but to announce his retirement in January last year.
When it comes to this ID, many viewers may not have an impression, but when it comes to record, old players must be familiar with it - Watch is the jungler of the NJW team in the S4 season. In that year, he was defeated by the dark forces with a score of 0-3. OMG zero seal gave birth to the famous scene of the Chinese eldest brother beating the Korean second brother.
Watch, who chose to retire with shame, took the stage. The LCK's idea was obviously to inspire the two teams KT and AFS.
“Okay, let’s show the camera to the scene.”
“We can see that after the other three players who represented the first place in the group came on stage, the guest Watch came to the draw for the first place in the group. Next to the pool. "
Ze Yuan reported the team name: "The four groups on the left are first, namely AFS in Group A, RNG in Group B, EDG in Group C and IG who just won the game. It’s really exciting. When I read out the names of the four teams, I felt excited.”
“This time it’s not us praying for a good draw, but other divisions, especially. The LCK team is praying for a good draw." Miller was full of pride: "Look at which team is drawn first...oh, AFS? Sure enough, then AFS will be assigned to the left. Half area.”
"Their representative player is top laner Kiin. You can see from the live footage that Kiin's smile is rather forced." The good old Shenchao who was invited to the commentary booth joked: "RNG has a Letme where all living beings are equal, and IG has a Theshy, EDG Youtian, and Kiin are all a bit explosive no matter who they encounter.”
[Double Horse. The tail is still reserved, what does it mean to be a little fried, that is a broken mentality]
[I feel desperate for Kiin]
[Other top laners are afraid of jungle, and these three top laners In single laning, my personal strength is barely enough to help the jungler]
[Letme is not afraid of catching, Theshy is not afraid of catching, Brother Tian is afraid of not catching]
[Brother Tian=Taylor, Theshy=Tyson, Kiin=Teddy]
[Then give them the RNG half, which will match UZI]
[Fuck haha Hahahaha]
This is the first time for the audience to watch the World Championship draw with such a relaxed attitude.
On the stage.
Watch handed the banner representing AFS to the on-site staff and took out the second ball under the guidance of the commentator.
Twist the ball away.
Take out the banner.
The white background + black label appears. Without fully unfolding it, everyone knows that this team is the one that said in the opening remarks of the summer split, "If you can't climb this mountain, they won't hear your story." IG.
“It’s great, it’s great!”
"It's great!"
Sitting in the IG training room, Baolan waved his fist: "RNG and EDG are in the other half of the zone. Let them fight a civil war. Let's see if we can get a bargain in the end. It's best to KT... Oh no, KT seems to be in our half. "
"KT will not be with EDG. It will definitely be in our half. The top eight will not meet the top four," Rookie said, "No team is easy to beat."
"Uh..." The expression on Baolan's face suddenly froze.
“It’s okay, it’s better than EDG and RNG!” JackeyLove read the replies from the trumpet post, refreshed it, and went to the homepage to see the latest post: “Everyone in the post bar said that we won the best , it doesn’t matter if you lose, it’s a success if you can hit something with KT.”
"Type something..." Theshy repeated in half-baked Chinese, with a thoughtful expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking about.
There is no doubt about the remaining two teams.
Definitely RNG and EDG.
Watch drew the RNG team logo first, and the EDG team logo last. The four top teams in the group all fell into their own positions.
At this moment.
The camera turns to the representative player of the second team in the group.
It can be seen that the representatives of the three European and American teams, G2, TL, and FNC, are very nervous, especially Rekkles, who is known as the most highly educated person in Europe - Ou Cheng has suffered from panic attacks since he met UZI. Dog disease, afraid of drawing RNG, which is nearly invincible this season.
Even if you encounter EDG, there will be no problem.
FNC still has some experience in playing against EDG.
In comparison, KT’s representative player Mata is much more experienced. Since he will not be in the same half zone as EDG, KT’s opponent in the quarterfinals will be either AFS or IG. Mata really can’t I think AFS and IG have the ability to threaten the KT team.
"The first one to draw is TL."
"They have to face AFS, which appears as the top player in Group A."
Ze Yuan read out the match list: "Then It is the G2 team. Since the G2 team and AFS are in the same group, To jump to the other half, the team they face is RNG, which ranks first in Group B. This is undoubtedly a good draw for RNG. "
Compared with the re-emerging ancient giant FNC. , G2’s record this year can only be described as lackluster.
During the winter transfer period, G2 only retained one player, PerkZ, and introduced Jankos, the jungler of the original H2K team, Wunder, the former top laner of the SPY team, and the former ROC duo Hjarnan and Wadid to form a new lineup. Show off your glory.
result.
In the spring finals, G2 was swept by FNC three to zero.
Ah P, who is known as the French King of Europe, behaved like a new recruit when facing Caps, who was scornfully called the King of Caps last year.
The summer split was even worse. G2 made history by missing the European finals for the first time. They struggled all the way in the bubbling round before finally getting their third ticket to the World Championship.
【Comfortable】【Fuck the little European and American to death】
[All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence, Mr. P - the King of Mang Kings]
[Be sure to arrange the G2 mid laner crazily]
[This draw is okay, G2 is easier to play than FNC More】
【Don’t worry, RNG is stable. Line, I'm a little worried about EDG and IG. EDG was eliminated by FNC before. It's quite uncomfortable for IG and KT to collide. Let's work hard for the three G]
[Although it's uncomfortable to be in the same half zone as EDG, but It’s great to draw G2】
The post bar is very lively.
The reason why I am so happy is that after the group stage ended on October 14, G2 mid laner Perkz posted a paragraph on Twitter: The reason why RNG was able to win was because it knew the opponent's tactics in advance.
This is a mockery of LPL teams leaking lineups and routines used by other teams during training matches.
This is obviously nonsense.
EDG and RNG had a deep hatred. Even the clubs only kept a superficial face. IG was suppressed by RNG for a whole year. The summer promotional video proposed the "mountain" reference in the theory of climbing over the mountain. is RNG.
To put it in a darker way, it is too late to cause trouble for RNG, so how can it be possible to help RNG.
Perkz’s words disgusted not only RNG, but also the entire LPL region. Therefore, seeing RNG and G2 drawn together, no matter which team they support, the audience is looking forward to the scene after the war.
The RNG lounge was even more festive.
When he saw the G2 team jump into the half zone, Letme burst into laughter and Mala Xiang Guo stood up with both hands in excitement.
“Oh——”
Xiaohu screamed, clapped his hands twice, suddenly thought of something when he put on a smile, and turned to look at UZI, which occupied a third of the screen.
I found that UZI remained calm.
Xiaohu quickly put the smile back on his face and waited for the big brother in the team to take action.
It wasn't until UZI laughed out loud that Xiaohu put on his smile again, raised his hands, and jumped up from the chair to celebrate.
“Ahahahahahaha!”
"Hahahahaha!"
UZI pointed at the live broadcast screen: "I laughed to death. I thought G2 was going to be taken advantage of by IG. I forgot that they can't be in the same half zone."
"G2 and AFS are in the same group and must be separated." Letme mentioned the rules again: "Then EDG and KT will be separated, and IG will fight KT, hahahahaha!"
"IG will fight KT, let them Come on, come on EDG when they play FNC!" UZI said half-truths as he watched the last two balls being drawn out.
Center of the big screen.
The quarterfinals lineup was displayed.
The left half is AFS vs. TL, IG vs. KT.
The right half of the area is RNG vs. G2, EDG vs. FNC.
“This draw... I think it’s okay.”
“It’s acceptable for every team.”
Wang Duoduo analyzed: "From the perspective of the top eight groups, only IG has a relatively difficult time among our three LPL teams. They drew the strongest KT in the second pool, but for KT, the battle with IG may not be a difficult one. It's a tough fight; the opponents drawn by RNG and EDG are G2 and FNC respectively, and the probability of winning is very high."
"I don't think it's necessary to be so subtle, RNG and EDG are basically meeting in the semi-finals," Zeyuan said with certainty. : "KT has a better chance of winning against IG, but IG also has a chance. AFS is a tough battle against TL. As the No. 1 seed in the North American division, TL eliminated Gen.G in the group stage. Their strength should not be underestimated."
< br>"That's right." Wang Duoduo agreed: "Let's take a look at the match time. The first two games of the quarterfinals will be held on October 20th. The first match will be between IG and KT. The match time will be at 12 noon sharp, and then RNG vs. G2, the game time is 4 p.m. "
"AFS vs. TL and EDG vs. FNC will be held on October 21st, don't miss it!"
8 The strong matches are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
There are three days of rest in between.
During this period, not only did a large number of posts emerge in Tieba, Hupu, Zhangmeng and other player gathering places, but active and retired players and some technical anchors in the industry also analyzed and predicted the top eight matches.
The matchup list is actually a very important thing.
With strength, any team drawn can win. This is true, but when there is no obvious gap in strength, team style restraint is a very influential factor.
Furthermore, some teams are slow to adapt to the version and need enough time to adjust their status. Some teams have fully understood the version early, but lack stamina. These two situations come together in advance, which is obviously detrimental to the future. Very beneficial.
The term ‘strong runner-up’ that has emerged in the past two years is an assessment of teams that have been eliminated due to poor luck.
“RNG is definitely in the lottery and will almost certainly make it to the semi-finals.”
“There is still a clear gap in the strength of the two teams.”
The old handsome man changed Style, serious analysis: "However, RNG also has disadvantages when encountering G2. We can see from this spring game that RNG has been strong this year when encountering strong, and weak when encountering weak. From time to time, I lose once or twice, but I always win against strong teams, so drawing G2 cannot be counted as a draw, but just a draw.”
“IG’s encounter with KT is not necessarily a draw. Judging from the record, IG lost to KT in the intercontinental competition, but that was just a game, and the two sides played against each other with very few samples. You are right to say that IG is weaker. I think it is wrong to say that IG will be taken away by KT three to zero. As for, IG even has a chance to win against KT.”
"EDG is a bit dangerous. Brothers who pay attention to version updates can see that this year's big environment change is to weaken Brother Tian. To be honest, I have never seen this kind of attack on one player alone." "
"After this year, boxing has changed. The top company has eliminated the confrontation of the top laner, and has almost eliminated the split push of the top laner. They also created a Kai'Sa who specializes in grabbing points and pushing the top laner. The most unstoppable thing is that Kai'Sa can be controlled by her teammates. Stacking the passive [Plasma] to deal damage, strengthening Sword Queen in the World Championship is more like a trap - Sword Queen’s hero mechanism is not suitable for team play. You can only split push. If you hit Kai'Sa in split push, you won't be able to play. If you don't touch Kai'Sa, the rhythm will be very slow, which is completely inconsistent with Tian Ge's quick-fight style."
[Riot is really disgusting]
[The last person to be targeted like this was Faker, the assassin hero. He was directly eliminated by the general environment]
[Faker has never been targeted in this way. Assassins are slightly unsuitable for the version, and they can be used occasionally. This year, the designers directly put the top lane opponents Both lane and split push top laners have been eliminated, leaving only team-fighting heroes]
[EDG is really hard to beat when they meet FNC. Without Brother Tian, there is basically no chance of winning. Apart from KT, who cannot be touched in the quarterfinals, the strongest one is FNC]
[If it weren’t for the Korean team, they wouldn’t be able to win. Okay, I even suspected that there was a shady conspiracy]
The barrage was filled with complaints.
“There is definitely no shady story.”
“A truly strong team is not afraid of any team it encounters. The championship is won one game at a time, and we would rather not get a walk. ”
The old handsome man finally concluded: "No matter what you say, no matter how difficult it is, you must see the real results on the court. Come on, LPL team!" (End of this chapter)
