Chapter 107: Terrible ability to adapt to competitions, T1 championship-level fate configuration!
After Hanwha confirmed that it had entered Group C in the lower half, the referee continued to take out the second ball from the glass container.
The moment I saw the EDG team logo, I remember my mentality was shattered and I said: "What kind of luck is this? EDG actually collided with RNG!"
Following the pig-dog war in S4, the two teams will face off again in the World Championship after seven years, but this time the contest can no longer be called a pig-dog war.
Because there are no more pigs or dogs.
After EDG confirmed that it has entered Group A, even though there are still two teams in the second pool that have not yet been drawn, combined with the principle of avoiding the half zone of the same group, the matchup situation in the knockout round has been completely confirmed.
The schedule of the knockout rounds and the group stage is slightly different. They are not arranged sequentially according to the ABCD groupings, but are generated by random arrangement.
After the knockout draw ceremony was completed, Riot officials also announced the specific schedule on the official website of the event.
The knockout rounds will be held from October 22nd to October 25th. The order of the groups is CADB. RA will face the T1 team led by the devil Faker on the third match day of the knockout rounds.
In other words, RA will have five days to rest and adjust to face this matchup that is destined to be extremely difficult.
When the knockout schedule was released, online public opinion was almost completely one-sided regarding the BO5 between RA and T1.
Almost no one expected RA to defeat T1 in this knockout round.
Although the RA team has a mid laner who has shown absolute top level in the S game, judging from the configuration of both sides' lineups, apart from the matchup of the mid laner, T1 can be regarded as all-round in all other lines. of the lead.
Even though Faker's strength has declined significantly compared to his heyday, and he does not perform highlight operations as frequently as Fang Jie in this World Championship, viewers who are familiar with Faker know that the big devil has never been soft in competitions. .
Even after falling from the top, Faker's performance in important events is often better than in the league.
Moreover, Faker's experience in major competitions is far ahead of that of a newcomer like Fang Jie, who is participating in the World Championship for the first time.
Especially in BO5, what is tested is not only the player's operation, but also many factors such as the ability to adjust the mentality, the ability to analyze and judge the situation, and the ability to respond promptly in the BP link.
Therefore, apart from operations, in other aspects, RA obviously does not have an advantage.
On a forum, netizens also expressed their opinions on this seemingly disparate game:
"Hey, it's just Ajie's bad luck. If he debuts in RNG, if Cryin is replaced, RNG's lineup will not be stable."
"Here we go again, right? Team Swordfinger should pass the EDG level first."
"I just hope that my brothers will not break Jiebao's legs and find a good home next season to realize his talent."
"No, the game hasn't even started yet and it's starting now? What happened to T1? Who told you that RA will definitely not be able to beat T1?"
"Wake up upstairs, the big devil has never been soft on the LPL in the BO5 in the World Championship. Although RNG used to be the background board, this year it is RA's turn and he can only be considered unlucky."
"Choi Jie Ba is going to reveal his true colors in the quarterfinals!"
"He has gone crazy even before he has achieved results. Don't you want to meet the big devil? Now that he has met him, I want to see how he died."
With the public opinion being one-sided, black haters who usually dare not stand up and fight against the wind have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
However, Fang Jie, who was busy preparing for the competition, had no time to read these comments online.
It doesn't matter even if it's brushed. With Fang Jie's character, not only will he not be hit by such remarks, but he will only become more motivated and use practical actions to slap the black people's faces hard.
After two days of pre-match training and tactical discussion, the RA team leader received a notification from the official staff that the five members of the team will go to the officially arranged shooting venue with T1 to make a promotional video for the knockout stage. Shoot.
After receiving this news, Fang Jie's face flashed with anticipation.
During the filming of the promotional video, all members of the T1 team will be present, and I can use my eyes to see the fate configuration of all T1 members.
There are some special restrictions on the use of the Sky Eye function. Fang Jie cannot peek into the fate of other players through the video screen. He can only read the fate information of the players by seeing the players themselves on the field or other occasions. .
In addition to the purpose of peeking into the fate configuration, being able to meet Faker before the game is also something worth looking forward to for Fang Jie.
After all, before he traveled through time and became a professional player, Faker was also Fang Jie's half-idol.
Although Fang Jie’s real idol has always been the Rookie player of the IG team, as a League of Legends player, especially a player in the mid lane position, it is probably difficult for most people not to like and appreciate a player like Faker. Legend exists.
With Fang Jie's thoughts and thoughts, the filming of the promotional video went on as scheduled.
At about 8 o'clock that night, the RA team members took a bus to the official shooting location prepared in advance. As soon as they got off the bus, Fang Jie was attracted by the bonfire that came into view.
It seems that the bonfire is the background of this promotional video.
Several members of T1 had also arrived ahead of RA and were chatting and laughing in front of the blazing bonfire.
Under the reflection of the firelight, the faces of every T1 team member were filled with confidence and vitality.
On the contrary, the moment he saw the T1 people, the expression on Fang Jie's face was not so relaxed.
Mud, this configuration is indeed a bit difficult to handle.
No wonder they were the team that lost five games to DK.
T1's performance in the league this year was actually not very good. There was a huge drama in the team, and the lineup also changed several times. It was not until the second half of the summer split that they finally found the right five people to replace the current team. This lineup has been determined.
As the lineup stabilized and became more and more integrated, T1's record also improved. It finally entered the playoffs with the fourth record in the regular season, and made great progress in the playoffs, and finally successfully joined the DK team on the finals stage.
However, in the summer finals, T1 was defeated by DK with a score of 3:1. DK showed its terrifying dominance. Although T1 still scored 1 point in this BO5, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It can be seen that there is still a clear gap between the two teams.
Who would have thought that T1 would undergo another transformation in the World Championship.
Fang Jie couldn't help but admire the amazing adaptability this amazing team showed in the competition.
From the perspective of fate, the current T1 is clearly a championship-level configuration! (End of chapter)
