Chapter 163 [The list of top eight is released]

The really uncomfortable thing is

They were ranked second in the group stage, while SKT and Rox were basically ranked as the No. 1 seeds. If they meet in the quarterfinals in advance, the probability of reaching the semifinals is really low!

Chu Ge fist bumped with them one after another and walked to the center of the stage.

The North American audience at the Municipal Auditorium did not begrudge their applause at all. After all, this was IG's closing performance on the stage of the Municipal Auditorium. They had already qualified and were about to go to Chicago to prepare for the quarterfinals.

October 9th.

Group B was officially opened. RNG successfully won the first place in the group with a 5-1 victory, while FW came to the second place in the group without any pressure.

Group D followed on the last day on October 10th.

Today is the day that determines EDG's life and death. If they want to advance, they must stand out from the 1-2 teams.

The first thing to start was the battle between EDG and INTZ.

Facing this wild card team that almost destroyed Guodian, EDG finally stopped falling off the chain this time. Mingkai grabbed his fans and gave them a hammer blow.

Even during a solo kill, Ming Kai showed his signature disdainful smile under the camera, as if to say, that's it?

The barrage was endless.

But the gangsters still seized the opportunity and started to lash out. The team that won the wild card was in trouble. Isn't this what should be done?

Immediately afterwards, the competition in Group D continued.

TSM plays against SKT at home in North America.

But this time it was unexpected.

SKT actually lost to the North American Cult!

The North American audience at the scene seemed to be having an intracranial orgasm, and the cheers that burst out instantly felt like they were cracking the main beam of the venue.

Immediately afterwards, TSM won INTZ without any pressure, completely announcing that this wild card division had bid farewell to this World Championship in advance.

And EDG faced SKT.

They were too slow to adapt to the version, which led to them being led by SKT in normal games, and their final record was 2-3.

This means that they must defeat TSM in the next back-to-back games to have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. However, if they lose, EDG will completely break through to the quarterfinals.

Seeing this, everyone in IG was a little worried.

After all, even in a situation where they won the game, the performance of the juniors was slightly unsatisfactory. If Bilson set the pace, they had little hope of winning.

Obviously.

EDG also understands.

So General Pawn was carried out.

In this game against TSM, Mingkai seemed to have activated the DNA of ancestor Severn in his body, sending the North American Cult away with a 1W economic gap in 26 minutes!

In the extra round, Pawn was still on the field, and Victor was selected to perform an immortal performance. He successfully controlled the thunder and lightning in the middle, contained Bilson, and pushed EDG into the quarterfinals.

“Congratulations to LPL!”

Wawa said loudly, "Although EDG had twists and turns, they still managed to secure the last seat in the knockout rounds. This year, all three of our teams entered the quarterfinals!"

At this point, the group stage schedule has officially ended. At this time, the eight teams that have been confirmed to advance have also come to the scene to prepare for the draw ceremony of the knockout rounds.

The originally relatively spacious backstage was already overcrowded. In addition to the teams that had been eliminated, there were also many teams that were determined to be eliminated.

Anyway, their hotel hasn't expired yet, and it's close to the site. Of course they don't mind coming to the site to observe, after all, they didn't have high hopes in the first place.

Fans and audiences will not blast them and let them try whether the water in the Pacific Ocean is cool or not.

It was the first time for Chu Ge and others to participate in the competition. They didn't know the rules. Vincent reminded them, and then they learned that there was a post-game exchange of team uniforms.

So they also prepared a few pieces in advance. As for how much you can exchange for, it basically depends on reputation.

However, Little Peanut ran up to Chu Ge, exchanged team uniforms, and the two of them even took a group photo.

Don’t say it

Today, Han Wanghu's eyes are really shining, which is the player's most sincere desire for a professional championship!

Finished exchanging team uniforms with other players.

Chu Ge, Ming Kai and Uzi were called aside by Vincent and told about the drawing of lots later.

"Don't stand around after you get on stage!" Vincent pointed towards the underground of the clubhouse, "There are team logos of each team posted there, just walk up.

At this time, Han Wanghu also came over, smiled and communicated with Chu Ge, "I hope our two teams can meet on the final stage. In that case, Smeb can prove who is the best top laner in the world!"


In both English and Korean interviews, Chu Ge made it clear that he hoped to fight Rox. Peanut and Chu Ge have a good relationship, so they will naturally give him face.

"Then I hope you can survive to reach the semi-finals!" Chu Ge said with a smile, "Otherwise I will be very sad to lose a strong opponent."

"I should tell you this!"

Han Wang was not angry at all, and walked back to the representatives of the other two teams with a smile, "Come on Dow, we are the orthodox representatives of the version!"

Chu Ge nodded.

He turned his head to look at Ming Kai, smiled and joked, "Brother Kai, you don't want to meet us in the quarterfinals either!!"

"It doesn't matter," Mingkai spread his hands, "We won't be able to meet SKT anyway. The only remaining No. 1 seed teams besides Rox are you and RNG. Instead of meeting them, it's better to start a civil war in advance."


"Anyway, it's not a loss for me if I lose at the hands of your kid. After all, we are also the team members who went out in our hands. After all, I have 1/3 of the credit!"

"Where is your fighting spirit?"

Chu Ge was full of surprise, "Where is the promise of S3, the factory director of S4, and the invincible devil Ming Kai of S5? If your words are heard by the piggies, you will probably be exploded again!"


"A little tired."

Ming Kai put his arm around his friend's shoulders and sighed, "When I let you go, I actually had selfish motives. Man, I don't want to change!"

"I just feel a little regretful. Why don't you consider coming back next year and fighting against my old brother again?"

"Okay! But I have a request"

"You have to break through the top eight and enter the top four this year, and I will agree to your request!"

Mingkai rolled his eyes.

"The contracts of Pawn and Deft expired this year. Abramovich worked with them in advance, but they showed no intention of renewing the contract."

"With our current state, it's really difficult to break through to the quarterfinals. Except for some hope against RNG, we can't beat them."

Chu Ge didn't speak, but patted the factory director on the back.

These old players have carried the LPL for so many years. Although they did not leave their IDs on the Summoner's Trophy, their pursuit of the championship is absolutely passionate!

Otherwise, Mingkai wouldn't have caused a desperate situation.

After all, it is impossible to successfully leave the team after discussing with the WE management. In that case, Mingkai can really make money selling meat waffles and live broadcasting with the old players.

The two communicated for a while, and Vincent reminded Chu Ge that the three of them were going to the stage to prepare for the lottery ceremony.

In the live broadcast screen.

The lottery guests and team representatives have arrived on the stage, and the specific matchups for the top eight will be announced soon.
