Chapter 319 The group stage of Death Group B begins. The hero is no longer what he used to be. How can he fight against powerful enemies again?
The results on the first day of the group stage were somewhat unexpected.
Initially, everyone thought that EDG and FW were here to fish in Group A. After all, the overall strength of the teams in Group A was really not that impressive.
But after the fight started, I didn’t know the true face of Lushan. How the hell did I turn into a fish?
The two kings of fish, EDG and FW, were blown up by G2 who came in from the playoffs one after the other.
Therefore, after the game, the results are as follows:
G2 ranked first with 3 points, EDG ranked second with 2 points, FW ranked third with 1 point, and PVB ranked last with a total of 0 points.
EDG lost to Europe and the United States like this, or lost to a third seed in the LEC region who came from the play-in tournament...
Awesome!
That night, countless emperors and GSLs laughed like crazy!
They are extremely vindictive.
They remembered clearly that Zhu Za often stood with Yan Za to spray them on RNG.
Don’t even talk about things that are far away, just talk about things that are close.
Yesterday, the national server client launched the latest ‘RNG Ascension Event’. Not only did the ungrateful bunch of pigs not celebrate with them, they even went to the official website to protest?
What's wrong?
Don’t they, RNG, deserve it?
Laughing to death! Pig offal is so sour.
People are barking at each other, asking why there is no EDG in the ascension activities. Why don’t you check if your EDG is worthy?
It's ridiculous that you can't even beat the third seed in the LEC. It's so funny, you know? Your royal father laughed so hard after reading this!
"Hahaha! EDG's level of waste has really refreshed the lower limit of my knowledge. You can even lose to G2, are you really human?"
"EDG is against the odds! Losing to the No. 3 seed in Europe and the United States, the LPL will be completely embarrassed by you!"
"I can't even think of it. How did our team from the LPL lose to the EU third seed? Are EDG a bunch of pigs?"
"Can you please go away, EDG? Let RW play? It's so embarrassing to be in the same division as you! I strongly recommend RNG to become independent!"
"You still want the official to give you a road to becoming a god? I'm sick of you. People without self-awareness are like this~/Huangdou sweats"
EDG fans are extremely aggrieved and want to refute, but feel very powerless. After all, they did lose to G2...
So shameful!
You know, in previous competitions, even if the LPL team lost to the EU and NA teams, they would still lose to their No. 1 seeds.
But today, in just a best-of-1 group match, they didn't even win against G2, the third seed in Europe?
It’s so demoralizing!
Unable to confront Huang Za, they could only desperately find the reason in private, hoping to comfort themselves.
Some EDG fans went to Weibo to strongly suggest that the next jungler should try changing the director?
When playing against European and American teams, the most important thing is operations! The master of EDG's operational style is undoubtedly the director, Collier.
In short, the next game is really real, we must not lose again, otherwise...
Explode! !
They didn't dare to think of how arrogant and hostile Shi Huangza and GSL would be.
Such as now.
Even if they no longer show up, Huang Za and GSL are still beating and humiliating the corpse.
Not only did they mock EDG's incompetence directly, but they also criticized them indirectly.
For example, with crazy rendering, your EDG can even lose to rubbish like G2, but our RNG is different. Our RNG can abuse SKT tomorrow, hehe!
This powerful feeling is really fascinating!
When will it arrive tomorrow? I can't wait to beat SKT.
After tomorrow, there will only be one god left in the League of Legends professional league, and that is RNG! !
That arrogant energy, that awesome energy, seems to be gone.
Although they made such bold statements, they did not have the support from any of this year's world championships...
……
The next day, it was bright.
When everyone in SKT got up, it was already noon. They played a training match last night and the results were outstanding.
In the previous training matches, they lost more than they won, but in last night's training match, probably due to the pressure of the game ahead, everyone exploded.
Total victory! !
Although this doesn't mean too much, it at least means one thing: Everyone in SKT has finally adapted to the current version of the World Championship.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Group B group stage started. They had to leave at three o'clock and eat at two o'clock. Therefore, there was still a short period of time left to relax.
Faker chose to read a book.
Xu Junyan chose massage.
Bang is meditating.
Wolf is watching the video along with the buckle horse.
That's how support is, sometimes it's more important to watch more than to play more.
Especially in the field of vision arrangement, you can learn from other teams' game videos and gain a lot.
Canyon…
This guy is playing ranked.
He is really working hard, and he is now the person with the highest ranking score in SKT Korean server after Xu Junyan.
1291 points, ranking 18th in the Korean server.
It’s really hard to get into the top ten~
Canyon muttered like this many times, but after the hardship was over, he would pick himself up again and continue to work hard to score points.
But, there is nothing we can do about it. Although most teams have entered the offseason and have a holiday during the World Championship, there are exceptions.
Such as GRF!
This team is so fucking useless.
After the playoffs, it is said that the whole team only took less than a week's vacation. Then, all members took their vacation and started daily management again like military training.
The average ranking time per person is 16 hours+ per day! !
It is precisely because of this management model that GRF's ranking points cannot drop at all.
There are still 6 people in the top ten in the Korean server, and the other three empty seats are Knight, Aiming and Peanut.
Ding dong!
Xu Junyan suddenly received a message on his cell phone.
He took it out and looked at it. It belonged to Pei Zhuxuan.
[Bae Zhuhyun]: "Jun Yan, come on this afternoon, everyone and I will go to the scene to cheer you on! /Muscle/Muscle"
The corners of Xu Junyan's lips raised, and her inertia replied with a smile: "Wow wow wow! Is our soul fan leader of SKT finally coming back? I'm so moved that I cried! I was so sad when I had no soul~"
【Bae Joo Hyun】: "Ah~!! You..."
Bae Zhuhyun sent an expression like a cat with a drop of cold sweat falling on its forehead.
Xu Junyan replied with a cat-like smile.
Then the two began an endless battle of pictures, fighting until the horses were buckled and they stood up to remind everyone:
"It's time to go."
……
The hotel they stayed in was not far from the competition venue. They got on the bus and arrived in a short time.
What’s interesting is that as soon as they got off the bus, they happened to bump into a group of people getting off the bus opposite.
100T team!
Yue Lun, the world's No. 1 runner-up, took the lead with a big belly.
He was originally majestic and powerful, and after all he was also an ace player of 100T. His momentum was resounding. But after seeing SKT on the opposite side and Faker in the SKT team, the corner of Yue Lun's mouth suddenly twitched!
The momentum faded.
Instead...
What the hell! Lee Sang Hyuk, I've seen you unhappy for a long time. You deserve to die! Do you know? You really deserve to die!
It’s you who made me doubt life, made me lose my way to North America, and made me ‘go down in history’! !
Li Gua lowered his head and did not look at Dao'er as he walked. Xu Junyan saw it and took in Yue Lun's awkward and twitching expression.
Oh? There’s something good to watch!
He immediately pulled Lao Li's head and said, "Xiang He, look up, there is an acquaintance of yours in front of you."
Faker trusted Xu Junyan and raised his head, and then faced Yue Lun face to face...
Shocked.JPG*2
Xu Junyan suppresses laughter.JPG
The two looked at each other and were stunned for more than ten seconds before suddenly saying hello awkwardly.
"Hey, Xiang, Xianghe, isn't this it?"
"Ryu..."
"Long time no see."*2
Okay, the embarrassment is over, both of them bowed their heads in a hurry, otherwise this embarrassment might not last forever.
Xu Junyan thought that this wouldn't work, touched his chin, and interjected: "That's it?"
Asiba?
Yue Lun was ready to leave immediately. He didn't want to see more of Faker. He really didn't want to see more of this guy.
But what do you mean by Silence?
Do you think I, Ryu, am a coward?
ha? Breathe hatred? !
No matter what, Yue Lun suddenly froze, his steps as heavy as a thousand pounds. Facing Faker again, he spoke out what was in his heart:
"Although I personally don't want to take advantage of others' danger and use your disadvantage of being disconnected for more than a month to resolve our grudges back then, but this is how the League of Legends is, Xianghe."
"I'm sorry, I'm in good shape today, and my teammates are also very strong. I will take revenge! I hope you won't be soft-hearted then."
Introverted Fei was really embarrassed, but when he met Yue Lun, he really didn't know what to say. Apologize for the double calamity battle back then?
It makes no sense!
Although your Yue Lun is indeed criticized by everyone to this day because of that game, but as you said, this is what League of Legends is like.
Besides, your teammates are very strong?
My teammates are obviously stronger!
Being stimulated by this, Faker instantly regained his original unruliness when he was playing the youth version.
Facing Yue Lun's letter of challenge, he boldly said what was in his heart: "Xiangxu, please wake up. You couldn't beat me before, and you can't beat me now."
"!"
Yue Lun immediately became even more angry. He glared at Faker angrily, turned around and left, with the word 'angry' written all over his body.
Angry and angry.
He vowed to kill Faker today!
He Ryu wants revenge! revenge! !
"As expected of you, Xianghe."
After enjoying the good show, Xu Junyan gave a thumbs up with a playful smile, which earned Faker a speechless eye roll.
If Xu Junyan hadn't said "that's it", both of them would have been embarrassed, and they wouldn't have said harsh words to each other, right?
It’s really not a big deal to watch the excitement.
Of course, Faker didn't think much about it. It was just Yue Lun. Back then, he was allowed to kill with three moves, but now he couldn't let him go when he was full of health. Wouldn't it be an indiscriminate killing?
No, Xiba~!
Faker suddenly became agitated and realized deeply, why was he so crazy all of a sudden? It's so awesome that he speaks like a sharp knife.
But when I think about it more carefully, I seem to have been like this before...
The group of people chatted and laughed and arrived at the lounge.
There are three games today. The first game will be against GRX at 5pm, the second game will be against RNG at 7pm, and the last game will be against 100T at 10pm.
That is to say, before facing RNG, the world's best team in the LPL, which was boasted before the game, they only have a chance to adjust in a bo1 game.
Based on this, I had a heated discussion with everyone in the lounge for a while, and finally came up with a proposal that this bo1 must be played steadily.
What is steady and steady? To put it bluntly, it means slowing down.
When playing GRX, they must not implement the previous thinking and quickly clear the level in less than ten minutes.
This doesn't get you anywhere.
GRX was just a piece of cake, and they played so fast. After the game, apart from gaining 1 point, it didn't have any other help for the next game.
But if they change their mind and play slower, they can even give GRX a little chance and make this game more difficult.
In this way, they can better experience the group stage, become familiar with the long-lost arena, and play the role of training themselves in adversity!
After achieving this step, they will undoubtedly be in a better game state when they play RNG at 7 o'clock.
It's just that, this is also very risky.
If they lose, they will lose this point, and their future will be uncertain. No one is sure that they will be able to qualify.
But everyone still decided to gamble.
The reason is simple.
If you can't advance just because you lost one GRX, then don't advance. It would be a shame for such a waste to go to the quarterfinals.
Everyone is arrogant and arrogant, and they cannot accept such a waste of themselves! Even if there is a reason for the weakening, the base has been disconnected from the Internet for more than a month.
The second reason is naturally that no one wants to lose to RNG.
Regardless of whether they were influenced by Xu Junyan or not, in short, they all had reasons to win against RNG.
If you can't even beat RNG, why are you going to compete in the World Championship?
Go home and raise pigs!
After such tactics were confirmed, at 5 o'clock, SKT vs GRX, their lineup chose the relatively ancient lineup of the previous version, and the pace of the game was infinitely slowed down.
This game lasted a long time. Although SKT's lineup was weak, it had a small advantage in the early matchup, which fully demonstrated its personal strength.
But by the middle of the game, they began to make frequent mistakes, and even made fatal mistakes. GRX stole a baron and lost another ancient dragon in 35 minutes.
When I saw this, this game had already caused countless sighs in the outside world.
"SKT seems to be struggling. The disconnection period for more than a month has really had a huge impact on them."
“The lineup understanding is still stuck in the last version~”
"This is just GRX! Is it so difficult to beat an inferior third seed in the LMS region?"
"Their operations are a complete mess! A team from the LCK was actually crushed by an LMS team in terms of operations?"
"ESPN may have rated SKT too high. How can they be only a little weaker than the world's number one RNG! They are obviously much weaker, can they really still play against each other normally?"
"I feel suspended!"
"They may not win this game~~"
SKT has a lot of influence in the global gaming scene. Therefore, many people are paying close attention to this real first game after SKT goes online.
What a disappointment!
Even at 45 minutes of game time, SKT made a miraculous comeback and defeated GRX.
But in the minds of countless people, it is still too ordinary.
When they all looked at today's match list again, SKT vs RNG at 7 o'clock, a sentence emerged in their hearts:
If the hero is no longer what he once was, how can he fight against powerful enemies again?
SKT is about to end! !
