Chapter 136 The group stage groupings are confirmed! The World Championship officially begins! 【Please subscribe】!
"Holy shit! A grass-eating and milking ADC! Awesome, shit!"
"But I have a question! Why is Brother Jianjian's damage ratio so much lower than the average damage? Logically speaking, if the average damage is high, shouldn't the damage ratio also be high?"
"You asked a very good question, let me answer you! Because other people in IG are also very good at dealing damage. If you look carefully, you can find IG's 3C, no! The average damage of 4C is very high, compared to other teams Big C is even higher, but the damage ratio is still very low!”
"Oh...I understand!"
"What is a grass-eating and milking ADC?"
"You are fools, aren't you? Brother Wenjian's economy is really eating up a lot! Brother Wenjian is an ADC that eats gold to build nuclear bombs!"
"The nuclear bomb type ADC is too 666!"
……
Shocked by the barrage, Lin Yuyu closed Weibo and started ranking.
However, what Lin Xuyu was playing was neither Ionia nor Hanbok, but the top of the canyon.
That’s right! It's the top of the canyon!
The top of the canyon is LPL, a super server specially created to provide a good training environment for players who come to LPL to participate in the S competition.
The number of places initially issued is very limited, and only top-ranked players from major servers will be able to apply. Relevant staff will then review whether they are qualified.
In today's time period, being able to reach the top of the canyon is the representative of the 'strong'.
Of course, ordinary players need to apply, but some big anchors and professional players will receive officially issued super accounts.
The group stage of the S competition will start on the 23rd. Today is September 13th. Some teams that need to enter the playoffs have arrived in Jiangcheng of the LPL in advance to adapt to the environment here.
This also resulted in the top of the canyon, which usually has almost no people and is extremely cold, becoming increasingly lively.
However, most of the team players who have come so far are still adapting to Jiangcheng's climate and environment and are training intensively, so Lin Yuyu still has to wait in line for a long time.
"Brother Jianjian, let me ask you a question! Why do you feel that the five kills in the last game of the finals were deliberately pulled out by your teammates?"
While queuing up, Lin Xuyu happened to see this barrage.
After Lin Yuyu thanked the ID for the gift, he said with a smile: "This version of skateboard shoes is strong because the ultimate move can protect the incense burner monster! In the case of EDG's dual AD, our team can't kill Lulu if we don't want it. Lu naturally ended up in this situation
In fact, our goal at that time was very clear. We must kill all the EDG people no matter what, and prevent them from advancing with double buffs. These all need to be judged based on the situation. Before the fight started, I didn't expect that I would get five kills!
In fact, you should be able to see that I was almost killed by Verus! If I was killed by Varus in that wave, then if our third game cannot be delayed until the late stage of 50 minutes, we will probably lose that game! ”
The barrage did not expect that Lin Yuyu would actually answer his own questions, and they immediately started typing and posting questions.
"Brother Jianjian, let me ask a question! I major in geography. The altitude difference between Beijing and Nanhu is basically the same. Why do people who go to Beijing from Nanhu actually get 'altitude sickness'? This is outrageous!"
"'Altitude sickness' is indeed...ahem!" Lin Yuyu said with a smile: "I can only say that everyone understands it, but to be honest, the air quality in the capital is indeed very 'dry', especially in a venue with 20,000 people. I My breathing is a bit stuffy. I guess it’s because people hold their breath when they’re highly focused! Didn’t my high school physical education teacher teach me to hold my breath until the end of the 100-meter dash?”
As soon as Lin Yuyu said these words, the barrage instantly became energetic.
"Do you understand what suffocating sex is? Have you never played it before? Do you want my sister to teach you?"
"Hahahaha... Do some people really believe in 'altitude sickness'? It's just something the authorities created to fool people."
"If you don't know how to say it, there will be 'good' parents who will say, did you see? He was knocked unconscious while playing the game, why don't you ban the game as soon as possible?"
"I'm just frustrated by Brother Jianjian."
……
"Brother Jianjian, although the side face leaning over and kissing the stage is very handsome! But I really feel dirty!"
"The stage is indeed very dirty." Lin Yuyu saw this barrage, smiled and said: "But I grew up in the countryside, and we stuffed the mulberry fruits from the mulberry trees that raise silkworms without washing them. Eat inside. Our children have strong body resistance, so a slight touch is nothing!”
"I feel dirty if I touch the ground, but I don't feel dirty if I kiss it!"
"That's right, touch it lightly, it's not Tian, why is it dirty?"
“When we were little, we all ate dogtail grass directly, it’s almost the same!”
……
After chatting happily with Danmu for a while, the game was successfully matched. Lin Yuyu stopped talking and clicked to enter the game.
Lin Yuyu was ranked in the AD position in this game. However, what Lin Yuyu didn't expect was that Lin Yuyu's auxiliary ID was actually Smoothie!
"Hey! Isn't this C9's support?" Lin Yuyu immediately showed a surprised look.
He is very familiar with C9's support.
Not only him, he is extremely familiar with all the C9 players in S7.
It was this C9 that broke Ming Kai's back!
Since then, Mingkai has almost been unable to recover.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, C9, which came out of the playoffs, is just an experience baby.
But S7's C9 is really bad. Their original performance in history was similar to WE.
They finished second in the LCS league in the spring. Although they were upset and lost the playoffs early in the summer, they still made it out of the qualifying round with the points they earned in the spring.
Later, they came to the quarterfinals as the No. 2 seed to face WE, and they lost the game after playing a Bo5 with WE.
Looking back, looking back at such a team, whose strength is basically no worse than WE, it is actually normal to win EDG in Bo1.
Lin Yuyu locked down the cannon, and Smoothie chose Lulu to assist Lin Yuyu.
At the same time that Lin Yuyu recognized Smoothie, Smoothie also recognized Lin Yuyu. After all, the official Canyon Top account issued to the players is directly the player's professional ID.
"Hi, Atower!" Smoothie greeted Lin Yuyu in a friendly manner.
"Hi!" Lin Yuyu said a simple hello.
"Go, Go, Go!" Smoothie!
The selection of both sides ended and they quickly entered the game.
Apart from the two of them, there were no other professional players in this round.
However, the hero and ID of the opposing mid laner caught Lin Yuyu's attention.
The ID of the opposite mid laner: Just hand it over to Kassadin!
In this game, the opponent also chose the hero Kassadin.
While Lin Xuyu was lining up, he was always observing the opposite mid laner.
The opponent's mid laner Kassadin returned to the city at level 8 to replenish his supply. Upon seeing this, Lin Xuyu could have pushed the lane no longer. While retreating, he also marked a retreat signal for the jungler who invaded the opponent's jungle area.
Jiangcheng, Lao Xue: "?"
Smoothie: "?"
The jungler and support were both stunned by Lin Yuyu's operation.
However, Lin Yuyu didn't wait for explanation.
A figure came to Mantis, and it was Kassadin!
A set of silky combos dealt all the damage to the mantis, and after being ignited, he left without looking back.
Smoothie and the audience in Lin Yuyu's live broadcast room were stunned when they saw this scene, and everyone's heads were filled with questions.
Although Kassadin is level 8, Mantis has reached level 7 after all, and has more than four-fifths of his health.
Isn’t Kassadin a late-game hero? Such a big mantis, why was he killed?
Seeing Mantis being instantly killed by Kassadin, Lin Yuyu, who was well prepared, immediately began to send signals to Smoothie to push the line, and then returned to the city to resupply.
Many viewers immediately sent out barrages, asking about Lin Yuyu's situation.
"The hero Kassadin is indeed a late-stage hero!" Lin Yuyu explained with a smile: "But there is a special kind of player in this world called 'Brother Unique'!
They specialize in a hero, and play hundreds or even thousands of games. Their understanding and proficiency of this hero will reach a level that is difficult for ordinary players to understand!
In their hands, the Barbarian King will not be countered by the Stone Man! Amumu can make his alma mater famous around the world! Kassadin is an instant hero in the early stage! Even the single swordsman Ji Ma didn't recognize the profession that Galen killed! ”
"What the hell? The Barbarian King won't be countered by the Stone Man?"
“It’s so cool that Amumu made his alma mater famous all over the world!”
"Kassadin is the early hero? Host, although you are a professional player, you are not the mid laner, so you want to lie to me!"
"Garen can't beat the Sword Lady? He's grinning! Is he still a professional? Get out of the way and let my Sword Lady come!"
……
Lin Yuyu shook his head and did not argue with the barrage.
Now it's just S7, and the unique skills haven't become famous yet.
When the S game is held for the second time, these viewers will understand the value of the unique skill brother, and the faker who played in the silver game struggled for a long time before getting out of the misery.
After a few simple ranking games, Lin Yuyu left the broadcast and went upstairs to rest.
But far away in the hotel arranged by Jiangcheng officials for C9, a discussion about Lin Yuyu started.
As professional players and from the perspective of hindsight, they naturally understand why Kassadin can kill Mantis instantly.
Rune thunder, equipment gap, blood volume gap, damage calculation, plus ignition, smooth combos, fast enough hand speed...
But it was precisely because of this analysis that they felt Lin Yuyu's terrifying understanding of the game for the first time.
They needed to sum up after the game to get the answer, but Lin Xuanyu was able to detect so many factors while playing the game, and summed them up together, and came to the conclusion that Kassadin can kill people in seconds.
In addition to Lin Yuyu's strong game understanding, there is another explanation, that is, Lin Yuyu or IG collected relevant information in advance.
But if they can even collect relatively amazing information about ordinary players like this, then how huge is IG’s information database?
No matter what the reason was, it was the first time for them, who had never played against IG, to feel the pressure brought by Lin Yuyu and IG.
September 14th!
S race schedule officially begins!
The three teams all set off to Jiangcheng today to adapt to the environment in advance and prepare for the S game!
As the third seed, the RNG team has the tightest schedule, because it has to start from the playoffs, starting thirteen days earlier than IG and EDG.
All three teams arrived in Jiangcheng that day and checked into hotels officially arranged by LPL.
In the following two days, participating teams from other competition areas arrived in Jiangcheng.
Before the game, we also need to take some time to cooperate with the officials to shoot some behind-the-scenes footage. Teams in the LPL are a little better. If teams from other divisions arrive too late, excluding the time for rest and filming behind-the-scenes, there won't be much time left for training.
After IG came to Jiangcheng, apart from Lin Yuyu taking them out to eat some Jiangcheng specialties on the first day, IG quickly devoted themselves to high-intensity training.
Starting from the second day after IG came to Jiangcheng, the LPL official sent a camera crew to follow IG and record the lives of the players and what happened during the World Championship. It will be made into a documentary about the team after the game.
……
It didn't take long, two days later, another important moment arrived!
S7 World Championship, group stage draw ceremony!
The results of the lottery ceremony will represent each team participating in the World Championship and the final grouping.
This also symbolizes that the curtain of the World Championship will gradually begin.
The day of the draw.
Each team sent a representative to the top floor of Jiangcheng Business Center to participate in the lottery ceremony!
The representative sent by IG is undoubtedly Lin Yuyu.
Compared with the expedition ceremony, the lottery ceremony is obviously more eye-catching!
"It's open, it's open!"
"I hope IG will have a fight with SKT in the group stage!"
“I’m a little worried about EDG!”
"Let me know which group Kangkang's death will be in this year!"
"..."
Ren Dong stood on the stage and after saying something, invited the player responsible for drawing lots.
The first team to be drawn is a team from the LPL division-IG!
The music played in the background, and the picture of IG winning the championship was projected on the big screen, introducing the team's performance throughout the year.
IG, was placed in Group A!
The LCK team LZ was assigned to Group B!
G2 is Group C!
However, what people didn’t expect was!
In the second round of draws, the second seed of LCK was drawn first, and SKT was directly assigned to Group A with IG!
"Damn it, IG and SKT are together again?"
"Group A is a proper death group!!"
"666666!!!! 6 turned over, 999999!"
"What does this mean? IG fights SKT again?"
"SKT Revenge!"
"SKT revenge? Are you afraid you have eaten too much?"
"Am I wrong? SKT wasn't double-killed by IG in the intercontinental competition? What's so cool about this?"
For a time, the entire LPL network was in a frenzy! ! !
And LCK’s online games are equally exciting!
"Great! I'm actually in the same group as IG!!! Awesome!"
"SKT! Since God has given you a chance for revenge, you must not fail to use it!"
"SKT: I am worried that IG will give up without meeting us in the knockout round. We specially picked the second seed just to come to the world to compete with the No. 1 seed IG!"
"Are you upstairs mentally retarded? The LCK summer finals were played before the LPL. How could you, the five SKT players, predict the future?"
"666666! I'm laughing so hard! IG4: 0SKT, hee hee hee! Retire the loser Dafei!"
"If we can't double kill IG this time, we have no choice but to win the championship. Otherwise, all SKT members will come back and the route will be planned!"
"I really like Atower's words: 'I'm thinking about whether this will be my only chance in this life.' Now I give this sentence to SKT!"
……
While LCK viewers are still discussing the draw of Group A, LPL viewers have already set their sights on the next round of draws.
I quickly drew EDG!
EDG was assigned to Group C, and the No. 1 seed in this group was the team that made "Second Smile" a famous scene - G2!
Seeing this grouping, the piglets in countless pig farms cheered for joy!
Compared to Group B, where LCK No. 1 seed LZ is, Group C, where G2 is, is not the most preferred for EDG, but it is already a very good group.
But the drawing did not stop there.
Soon, when the last team in Group C was drawn, all LPL fans fell silent.
Because of the third seed in the LCK, SSG was postponed to Group C due to the principle of avoiding the same division!
"I'm going to fuck you up!!! Thousands of pigs are wailing! What kind of J8 lottery is this?"
"Group C? It should be called the group of death!"
"G2, from the LEC region? It's just a competition between Europe and the United States!"
"No matter how bad the European and American competition is, everyone else is also the No. 1 seed! Your EDG was beaten 4:0 by the European and American competition in S5. Did you forget it so quickly?"
"No. 1 seed? Oh, that's okay!"
"The three teams are really about the same strength. They are really talented!"
……
Amid the wails and wars of words from countless LPL viewers, after a period of drawing lots, the grouping situation of twelve teams in four groups came to light.
Group A: IG, SKT, AHQ.
Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM.
Group C: G2, EDG, SSG.
Group D: FW, MSF, TSM.
Each group has temporarily reserved a seat for the four teams that successfully break through from the play-in round.
At this point, the lottery ceremony comes to an end!
The finals schedule is also roughly released!
IG's first game will start on October 5th. There is still half a month left, which is relatively sufficient.
Afterwards, the representative players from each major team shook hands with each other on the stage.
"What kind of J8 group is this? Even if IG meets SKT, regardless of whether they can beat it or not, they can at least guarantee a qualifying spot! The three teams on EDG's side look more and more like they are destined to be eliminated from the group. ! ”
"Atower made a promise with me, saying that I would go to the Bird's Nest to meet him again!"
"Come on IG! I think Group A is okay!!"
"No matter who it is, I will definitely be there if they reach the finals!!"
“Little IG rushes!!”
"EDG is going to kill me!!"
"RNG must have cards!"
"RNG still has to compete in the playoffs. Who knows if it can qualify?"
"You should have some brains when you spray, right? Look at the stinky fish and shrimps in the finals? RNG is like fried fish in it!"
"If RNG kneels down in the finals, I will go directly to kill them offline!!!"
"..."
Netizens were caught up in the heated discussion about the lottery results.
With the draw ceremony over and before the official start of the S competition, the major teams can finally continue to play training matches quietly.
Before the storm, on the surface, the world seems to be calm.
Until September 23rd.
The first battle of the S game started at Jiangcheng Sports Center!
In the opening match, RNG faces LYN!
The qualifying round is different from the group stage. Because the strength of the participating teams is uneven, there will often be some hilarious scenes.
In other words, the play-in round is the appetizer for the group stage.
In this game, LYN on the red side went against the grain and banned the skateboard shoes but not Luo. They even didn't even grab it from the red side, allowing RNG on the blue side to choose the Xialuo combination.
The key is that they also selected the bottom lane combination of hard-assisted Brunga and Big Mouth, which highlighted a player who did not regard RNG as a human being.
RNG chose the Xia Luo combination in the bottom lane. Although Xia Luo in the bottom lane had many coordination problems during the laning period, RNG's midfielder played extremely strong, not like the third seed of the LPL at all!
After the transition to the team battle period, Luo also performed very well when Shi Senming no longer had to worry about the laning and only had to consider starting a team fight.
RNG crushed LYN with absolute strength from beginning to end, and finally defeated LYN! !
"Yes RNG!"
In the hotel, the IG players watched the entire game, and they all cheered for RNG at the end.
In this game, RNG played really well!
Of course, the reason why the opponent is too weak cannot be ruled out.
After just one game, the audience's enthusiasm was aroused!
"RNG is in good shape recently!" Lin Yuyu raised an eyebrow: "Especially Gouzi Xia, it's a bit interesting!"
"Now everyone can feel relieved." Song Yijin nodded.
"Let's go, let's go play a training match. EDG should have just finished watching the game!" After Lin Yuyu said that, he opened the custom room.
Lin Yuyu's mind is now full of studying the teams that have a probability of meeting IG in the following games.
There is no difference between the current version of the World Championship and the historical S7, but with the addition of the Flag of Command, Lin Yuyu is not sure whether any team will come up with some special tactical system.
After experiencing countless LPL Waterloos, Lin Xuyu knows very well that there is no truly invincible team in the world, only teams that keep improving and learning!
So these days he is not just playing Rank and scrims.
When he has time, Lin Yuyu will also take the initiative to find three LPL teams to discuss some tactical matters.
……
At the same time, the battle situation in the qualifying rounds became more and more intense.
From September 23rd to September 29th, the nine-day qualifying competition finally ended!
In the end, four teams stood out!
They are: FB, FNC, C9, RNG.
After the final draw ceremony of the group stage, four teams entered the four groups!
So far, all sixteen teams have returned to their positions in the four groups of the group stage!
Group A: IG, SKT, AHQ, C9.
Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM, FNC.
Group C: G2, EDG, SSG, FB.
Group D: FW, MSF, TSM, RNG.
RNG was assigned to Group D!
This group is also recognized by everyone as the group with the greatest chance of qualifying!
“Sign up for RNG!!”
“Good sign!”
"Let's start the group stage quickly. The games of those teams in the qualifying round will make me vomit after watching them!"
"Especially the blind man's big move to kick back, and the small cannon's big move to hit him back. I spit out a mouthful of rice!"
"GKDGKD!! I want to watch IG's game, that's what it's good to watch!!!"
"..."
Amid the calls and expectations of netizens, October 5th has finally arrived!
In the opening match of the group stage, the two sides were EDG and FB! ! !
However, during the prime time of the day, IG from Group A will face SKT!
There will be a focus match every day in the group stage. The showdown between IG and SKT is the focus match on the first day of the group stage!
According to the original history, SKT will be swept 3:0 by SSG in this year's finals, but this has not happened yet. Even though SKT is only the second seed, they are still the team that LCK audiences are most looking forward to.
"I just like the IG team! Beat them up!!"
"Hey guys, fast forward directly to playing SKT?"
“Do it, do it!!!”
"It is recommended to fight directly!"
"..."
Decided to enter the World Championship as soon as possible, there is nothing to write about in the middle! Even if I write it, it’s just water and it’s meaningless! Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket!
