Just after Longzhu defeated GAM and confirmed the quota for Group B, TES, who came on the scene, faced off against the Vietnamese brother again.
That game was jokingly called by LPL players as the most devout prayer ever heard by the god of e-sports.
IMT desperately hopes that his opponent will win this life and death battle!
Because only if TES loses GAM again, they will have a chance to win the playoffs in the next two games.
"Ah, don't give me a chance. Leader Guang still made his debut and defeated GAM in a 23-minute game, killing the suspense in advance."
"IMT cried and fainted in the toilet. When TES confirmed their fourth victory, they became the second team to be eliminated in Group B."
Yes, there are obviously two games left to play, but the result of the game was announced in advance.
Who is to blame?
I can only blame IMT, which was already 1-2 in the first round. In the second round, it lost another point to GAM.
This story of leaving fate to other teams to judge has already happened in previous group matches.
Now there is only one suspense left, and that is who between TES and LZ can get the first place in the group.
If it were in the past, everyone would definitely say it was Dragon Ball without hesitation. After all, in Group B, Dragon Ball was ranked number one based on its strength on paper.
But after the second round of the match between TES and Longzhu, no one had such an idea.
On the contrary, many people complained about the LCK No. 1 seed's outrageous performance, poor adaptability to the version, serious lack of experience in the middle and jungle, etc.
Of course, there are also many people whose legs are weak and can't stand up. They think that Longzhu's top laner uses tanks and abandons the offensive top laner. This is to preserve their strength and not to expose their tactics before the quarterfinals.
This kind of statement was immediately ridiculed by many people. Reserve your strength and don't want to expose your tactics?
Co-authoring TES means using tactics, right?
Don't make excuses if you lose in a hard-power confrontation.
……
After defeating GAM, Lin Shuyang and others returned to the backstage, and TES got a halftime break.
The next two games are the second round between TES and Longzhu and IMT. If they win both, they will have extra games. Whoever loses will be ranked second!
"LZ is not going to overturn, right?"
Looking at the big screen, several members of the training team were ecstatic.
LZ still did not change their tactics and continued to play with them today. It seems that they are determined to improve the team's operational integration.
It's just that IMT is different from GAM. They have a bit of hard power. Longzhu forcibly changed its style of play and ran into the North American brother who was determined to be eliminated in advance. To the audience's surprise, the suspense was really stretched to more than 40 minutes.
"It's so slow. Although Big Worm is a late-game giant tank, it can't handle the big mouth on the left!" Garlic Bastard and Able were sitting on the sofa, acting as crowd-pleasers. "LZ felt a little bit crazy and had to delay the late-game with IMT." What?”
"Their style of play is not like that of a team that can endure loneliness in the late game."
The final result was different from what everyone thought.
LZ is indeed not good at replacing resources, but the strength of their three lanes is online. Even if they give up the initiative to attack, the economic lead gained from the defensive tower in the mid-term is enough for them to seize the initiative.
Not to mention, with the presence of Xuanming and Ming, although the game was delayed to fifty minutes, Longzhu's team execution and discipline also showed a downward trend in the later period, but the personal strength of the players was there after all, and in the end, relying on Khan's big bug was full of justice and glory, veteran Pray's calm teamfight performance, and Liushen Mouse's matchup pierced IMT's big mouth. "Did IMT fail to do it in the end?"
At the scene, the voice of the LPL commentator could not hide his disappointment, "After nearly fifty minutes of fierce battle, Longzhu was the winner in the end. Let us congratulate them on winning their fifth victory."
“The first place in Group B looks like it will be decided through extra rounds!”
Seeing the IMT's main crystal turning into nothingness, Lin Shuyang stood up and prepared his team members to appear again.
It was related to the first place in the group. He didn't ask Da'an to give this seemingly last game of the welfare bureau to Da'an as a chance to prove himself.
Regardless of RNG or WE, the other two teams in the LPL this year are definitely capable of ranking first in the group. This can be regarded as the weakest troika in the LCK in the past.
If there is a capsize in the gutter and the second team in the group is eliminated, then there is a 75% probability that your own team will be drawn. It is unwise to gamble on the remaining 25% probability that there will be no civil war.
He is not worried that he will not be able to beat two teams in the quarterfinals, but in that case, it will be extremely detrimental to him, both in terms of the consumption of the team's tactical reserves and the direction of the club's public opinion.
By then there will be a real civil war, and the audience outside the arena will be angry to death whether they win or lose.
Therefore, all three LPL teams have qualified as No. 1 seeds, and when the top four compete again, it will be a win-win situation.
"Brother Yang, come on, we are waiting for you in the playoffs!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
As he was approaching the stage, Khan bumped into him in the tunnel and raised his right hand to cheer for the TES crowd.
"Is he okay?" Jin Gong was puzzled. "Aren't we rivals? Come and cheer us on."
According to normal logic, at this time, IMT should be expected to be a water ghost, take them TES for a game, and then advance to the quarterfinals as the first in the group without losing any blood.
"Is there a possibility that Longzhu actually doesn't want to qualify first in the group?" Able's little head suddenly thought.
"Huh? Why!" Garlic Bastard almost fell down when he went up the steps.
Able, you are a scientific researcher, you have lost your brain in scientific research, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Lin Shuyang roughly understood Able's way of thinking, "From the perspective of the other two groups, since the LCK team lost one point to both of them in the first round, according to the urine of the two training groups, they will be better in the second round. I will only use conventional tactics to try one game, and if I lose, I will appear as the second seed. I will basically not use my cards to compete in advance. There is basically no big problem for RNG and WE to be first in the group.”
"Similar to our situation, if Longzhu qualify first in the group, taking into account the principle of avoidance in the same group, they have a 75% probability of being drawn into a civil war."
"With their current problems, they still have a chance of winning against RNG, but against the other two LCK teams, it's really a dead end."
"That means that if we win IMT, they won't struggle too much in the playoffs?" Garlic Bastard's eyes lit up.
"What the heck, if you dare to deliberately lose in the Dragon Ball playoffs, the LCK audience will dare to send dead rats to their hotel door that night, and the top eight will go out and block the road with a big truck to find out."
Dear - I have your express delivery.
BeryL is deeply aware of the horror of the crowd in his own region.
Don't say that you lost on purpose, you just didn't have that idea and tried your best to use all your cards. But as long as you qualify as second in the group stage, everyone in the family will be greeted. (End of chapter)
