Chapter 361: The top eight draws, RNG collectively laughed like crazy: Why is it said to be a good draw...
The lottery ceremony started quickly.
The overtime match between AFs and IG only revealed the MVP winner. There was not even a post-match interview and it went directly to the draw.
The lottery ceremony was still hosted by Jin Mina, and the professional player invited to the scene was MadLife, the support god in the OGN era.
At this time, the LCK stream commentator, Roaring Emperor, who was watching by everyone, was also analyzing the situation of the upcoming knockout draw.
"Group A is G2 and EDG, group B is SKT and RNG, group C is KT and FNC, and group D is AFs and IG."
"According to the draw principle of the first place in the group playing the second place in the group, this year's knockout draw is very beneficial to the LCK and LPL teams, because there will be no possibility of civil war in advance in either LCK or LPL."
"According to my idea, I really hope that the AFs team can draw one of FNC or G2. Their state is too ups and downs, and they need to pick some soft persimmons."
"As for SKT and KT, the former is undoubtedly stronger and has once again established their dominance in this group stage."
"As for KT, their group stage performance was even more perfect. After a whole season of grinding, this Galaxy Battleship finally exploded in this World Championship! The current upper limit is not yet known, because neither FNC nor C9 have been able to force out The upper limit of their strength.”
"If possible, I very much hope that SKT and KT can be divided into different halves. In this way, they are very likely to meet in the finals! This is the best draw for us!"
The Roaring Emperor rambles on about his fantasy of the knockout draw.
Until the camera was completely handed over to the lottery ceremony, Jin Minna took the microphone and started hosting the lottery.
The first-round draw is actually nothing to look at. It is nothing more than drawing out the four No. 1 seed teams in sequence.
The order is: SKT, G2, AFs, KT
Further down, the second round of draws begins, and the main event begins!
At this moment, on the big screen on the stage, the behind-the-scenes status of the major teams in the knockout rounds in the live broadcast was cut out.
FNC team, Ou Cheng held his chin and analyzed carefully: "I hope the third pick in the second prize pool is us. I want to play AFs even more."
The EDG team, the director, and Abu were nervously standing in front of the live broadcast screen, chatting with each other.
This is what they said:
"Just don't beat SKT!"
To be honest, with their strength this year, it would be very difficult to beat anyone who is first in the four groups.
However, against AFs, G2, and even KT, they still have a slight hope of advancement, and there will be a small chance to break the curse of the top eight.
If you beat SKT, you will die!
Upon seeing this, EDG fans began to pray, don't touch SKT! Don't touch SKT! Don't touch SKT, no matter what!
Next, we cut to the IG team, and a very interesting picture appeared.
Since the overtime match had just ended and IG had lost the overtime match, head coach Jin Jingzhu was sitting on a chair, holding his chin with one hand, with a gloomy expression on his face and not speaking. On the contrary, the assistant coach Mafa was furious.
This scene is very surprising.
In everyone's inherent impression, the former is obviously a more stern person, while the latter is usually very gentle and good at lying.
But now the emotional positions of the two have switched.
Mafa kept spreading his hands to accentuate his tone, becoming more angry than ever before and angrily scolded the tall top laner in front of him:
"We all know! We also knew earlier that the AFs' tactics on the other side are like a city wall! If we want to break this wall, we need Mao! We need extremely sharp Mao."
"If the wall on the opposite side is not strong, you might be able to break their hold with a sharp thatch, but didn't this game clearly tell us after 20 minutes that their wall is very strong?"
"In this case, as the one who breaks the wall, you can no longer move forward! You have to cooperate! You have to cooperate with other enemies to attack together. Only in this way can you break through their walls without fail!"
"Otherwise, you alone can't break through their wall, and your four teammates can't break through the opposite wall, and we'll be stuck in an endless loop! We'll never be able to break through the opposite wall, you know?"
"Is it okay?!"
Under Mafa's angry rebuke, Theshy, a top laner who played very fiercely in the game, was actually scolded to tears at this moment!
It seemed that after realizing that he was being broadcast live, Mafa finally stopped his anger. Theshy still lowered his head and did not dare to speak, sobbing and crying. The other people on IG also lowered their heads and clenched their fists unwillingly.
"Oh~~~!"
No one expected that when the screen cut to IG, people would see such an unexpected scene.
But it’s normal if you think about it carefully.
In the last overtime game, IG had such a huge advantage over AFs, almost a sure win. If it hadn't been for the lack of discipline in the end, AFs would have taken the lead in the group?
If you make such a big mistake, you deserve to be scolded, and professional players are very high-spirited, and they deserve to be negative and unwilling to lose after losing a game that they shouldn't lose.
What a pity.
Just when everyone was thinking this, they saw that the highlights of the IG live broadcast were not over yet!
The ‘first male protagonist’ has finished filming, and the ‘second male protagonist’ has jumped out impatiently!
While Theshy was being scolded and crying, Ning Wang, who was lying on the sofa with Ge You, suddenly sat up after listening to the Korean translator next to him.
Originally he was angry because he was being lectured by Mafa, but now he seemed to have heard something ridiculous. He thought that this was a chance for him!
Sitting up, he directly spread his hands and taunted in a vindictive tone:
"No, brother, City Wall, City Wall. He is always City Wall. Is there a hero like City Wall in League of Legends?"
As soon as these questions came out, the atmosphere seemed to quickly turn into a visible entity, and the entire IG training room fell silent!
Rookie, Jacklove, and even Theshy, who was crying, all looked at King Ning with stiff expressions.
King Ning felt confused and shouted: "What are you looking at me for? Look at Mafa! You can't even scold people, have you ever played League of Legends? I don't mean anything else, I just can't understand someone's game. I understand him." It can be so low.”
As if visible to the naked eye, the atmosphere has become even stiffer!
The atmosphere was also stiff in the live broadcast rooms of major platforms. There were large question marks floating all over the screen. IG fans did not bother to post the question marks. They just felt their faces burning at the moment.
Purely... husband-nurturing player? !
You really should stop embarrassing yourself!
Although everyone knows that LOL players generally have not read books, but since you have never read, why don't you show off less?
Suddenly, I deeply understood the value of my ancestor’s saying, ‘Silence is golden’!
Fortunately, this extremely social ordeal for IG fans ended quickly, and the next scene cut to the room at the RNG hotel base.
Completely different from IG, RNG, who were second in the same group and lost two consecutive rounds to SKT, were calm.
Not only did he not have the drive and dissatisfaction to show his shame but then become brave again after losing the game, he was even pretending to be cool and said nonchalantly: "Actually, I can fight either way, it's pretty much the same."
You horse! !
Except for Huang Za and GSL, who seemed to have given up on their master's pretentious words, other e-sports fans once again felt a little embarrassed.
No! You've already lost like this, why are you still pretending?
It doesn't matter whoever you play, you have forgotten the shame of being so awesome before playing SKT and then being slapped in the face by SKT in seconds!
Are you really just like Huang Za with a short memory?
Everyone was speechless for the Nth time.
In addition to the four teams ranked second in the group, the situation of the four teams ranked first in the group was also presented one by one.
As a result, the big screen was divided into eight, and the current status of the eight teams was presented on the same big screen in a live broadcast.
Next, the second round of drawing begins!
With an excited heart and trembling hands, MadLife took a deep breath at Jin Minna's signal.
Put your hand into the prize pool, and then take it out.
Regardless of the e-sports fans in the Busan BEXCO auditorium or the viewers on major live broadcast platforms around the world, their eyes were focused on this moment, and their eyes couldn't help but widen.
MadLife unfolds slowly.
First signature:
EDwardGaming!
EDG! !
"Holy shit!"
"What the hell!"
"It's over!"
When EDG fans saw MadLife's signing, their hearts trembled and their hearts dropped.
The top eight curse! This damn top eight curse!
This year's encounter with SKT in the quarterfinals will most likely be worse than EDG's encounter with SKT in the quarterfinals in any previous year!
On the big screen on the stage, the director specially zoomed in on the live broadcasts of SKT and EDG.
The director of EDG and Abu were dumbfounded when they watched the lottery. They stood in front of the camera, motionless, with expressions frozen on their faces. It was very funny.
On SKT's side, Xu Junyan said: "Playing against EDG seems pretty good. Come on guys."
He turned around and gave high-fives to Faker, Wolf and others one by one. Compared to EDG's director, Abramovich and the others, his mood was obviously much more relaxed.
However, although the mood was relaxed, there was no arrogance in the tone. Even though EDG was only the third seed in the LPL, they still respected them and did not look down on any of the knockout teams.
Oh, except for a certain shockwave.
"Emperor Xu Tian, please stop high-fiving me. You look so serious and serious, don't you think too highly of our EDG?"
This year, the relationship between EDG fans and Xu Junyan, including Yan fans, is very good. After all, everyone has fought side by side on the same front.
Therefore, out of frustration, every EDG fan had no choice but to give an ‘award speech’.
They really hit the jackpot!
IG fans also sent greetings on the barrage: "Hold on! EDG brothers! / Cover your face." EDG fans almost cried and quickly responded: "Fuck, how can we be stable when beating SKT? / Big Cry"
So far, at first glance, I think this year's LPL barrage is so harmonious. It doesn't look like the LPL barrage of s8 at all, okay?
Nothing like it!
Come on, which competition region are you in?
Until a certain stinking group finally got together on the barrage for the first time today to gather locusts crossing the border and made countless stinking remarks that took pleasure in others' misfortunes...
"Puch! Your father and I are laughing so hard, haha!"
"EDG is so damn good!"
"Beautiful! What a good sign. What the hell is this not a good sign? Let's wait to die!"
"Is this the retribution of the bastards?"
"In the past, we, RNG, helped to stop SKT and LPL. What did we get in the end? It was all incomprehension and ridicule! Now it's good~, we won't stop SKT, we will leave it to you to fight!/Smiling teeth."
"I want to see who else in the LPL can stop SKT except RNG!"
"I'm really begging you, Zhu Zong, don't remember our RNG's contribution to the LPL before when we can't beat you! / Soybeans sweat"
Right! Enemy!
When I finally saw the only disharmonious group, the bastards who had even threatened many times that if the LPL didn't treat us well, we would go out and build the LRL independently, they came out to make sarcastic remarks and broke the original harmony on the barrage.
Many people finally dared to decide.
This is LPL!
However, Huang Za really dares to say that in the LPL, RNG has always helped stop SKT?
Smile! What a shameless statement!
What does stop mean? Even if you don't win, you at least get a draw.
There is no such thing as a draw in League of Legends, but that doesn’t mean we can just lower the standard to the point where we just keep crashing and losing like your RNG, right?
This kind of outrageous talk is really ridiculous.
Not to mention the outrageous rhetoric of ‘Who in the LPL except RNG can stop SKT?’… Is there a possibility that I can play with me?
Isn’t it just a loss?
You can choose any of the five bronze seasons and go up!
You can't win if you win, but if you lose, you just have to be sincere, everyone can do it!
EDG fans didn't have the patience to do so and just started to complain, fighting to the death with these stinking bastards.
At this moment, the second bonus ball was drawn by MadLife.
When MadLife raised his hands high and slowly unfolded them, revealing the team represented by this lottery...
Wow! !
Huang Za and GSL, who were arguing with EDG fans, suddenly lost their voices and then exploded!
"Did you draw RNG?!"
"We've been drawn!"
"Damn it! Playing G2? Isn't it? What is the natural selection! Let me ask, what is the special natural selection?"
"Knowing that our RNG status needs to be adjusted and someone needs to recharge, just draw us G2 and send us to the top four, right?/Sunglasses"
"Haha! Look at G2's live broadcast! The expressions on their faces are frozen. Look at our RNG, everyone is so happy haha!"
Huang Za and GSL say it is superb.
The comparison between the reactions of G2 and RNG players that they mentioned on the barrage was split into two by the director as early as the first moment.
On G2's side, it wouldn't be right to say that their expressions were frozen. At best, Perkz and the others just shrugged at each other.
RNG is exaggerating.
"Who is who?"
"Three LPL teams, one EDG has already been released, can't it be us? Can't it be us playing G2?"
Finally, after seeing MadLife completely expand the tag, RNG! Letme, who was sitting at the front of the table, was the first to laugh out loud.
"Hahaha!"
Xiaohu's first reaction was to turn around on his e-sports chair and turn towards Uzi, clapping his hands and cheering with a grin.
Seeing that Uzi didn't respond, he lowered his volume and turned back, but as soon as he turned back, Uzi, who had been suppressing himself with a red face in the past few days, burst into laughter and doubled over with laughter: "Hahahaha!"
As soon as Xiaohu saw it, he immediately caught up with the rhythm. He had already finished laughing. He slapped his thighs with both hands, lifted his butt off the chair, and laughed out loud: "Ah! Haha~!!"
The entire RNG training room suddenly fell into a sea of laughter and carnival. Everyone was laughing like crazy, and everyone was applauding crazily in celebration.
“You’re laughing so hard, brother!”
"G2 is the LEC team that came up from the play-in round and is a team with EDG that EDG has never played before."
"How can we lose against G2?"
"Guaranteed, guaranteed!"
It's amazing, with the bonus of such a live broadcast, the Huangza and GSL people on the barrage are undoubtedly more excited and laughing.
Meanwhile, MadLife drew the third draw:
IG! !
IG fans were just about to breathe a sigh of relief when their expressions suddenly changed and they thought of a certain damn knockout rule.
Avoid in the same group!
In this way, although they were the third one to be drawn, they would still inevitably be moved to the fourth position.
In other words, beat KT!
"Outrageous!"
"This is a bit outrageous."
"Damn, tough fight!"
"Hiss!!"
IG fans inevitably became serious and intensely discussed the possibility of their group's victory.
And the emperor's miscellaneous people are both superb again!
Because this draw has been completed, FNC, the last draw, has been automatically divided into the group playing AFs.
As a result, the upper and lower zones are still divided according to the principle of avoidance in the same group, and the knockout divisions have been determined.
Upper half:
G2 (A1) vs RNG (B2)
KT (C1) vsIG (D2)
Lower half:
SKT (B1) vs EDG (A2)
AFs(D1)vsFNC(C2)
……
what does that mean?
They have already locked in the finals in advance!
Knowing that RNG was in bad shape, the top eight draws immediately brought a European and American player G2 to recharge their batteries!
After recharging, there are still good things waiting for RNG!
Although there is another LCK powerhouse KT in the same division, KT has to play against IG first. Only after fighting IG can they meet RNG, the strongest team in the LPL.
Just because they thought of this, Huang Za and GSL rushed to Weibo with great joy and excitement as soon as the draw ended.
Because there were too many of them, only ten minutes passed, and as soon as 12 o'clock arrived, the first hot search of the night was created on Weibo.
"Good sign!" ! 》
Clicking on this hot search, the comment with the most likes fully demonstrates the stench and hypocrisy of the royal miscellaneous nature.
This is what they said:
[Why is it said to be a good sign? I just hope that IG can play KT's stuff and clear some obstacles for RNG. Of course, it would be better if they win. If they lose, RNG wins and wins the championship, then IG has 1/3 of the credit for this championship. As for EDG, 2 The word is random, I am an RNG fan and a rational fan. 】
Like*1.7w!
There is an unknown component under this high praise comment of Huang Za. It is probably a question asked by a newcomer who has just entered the pit:
"Don't RNG still have to play G2 first? We have to finish G2 before we can consider KT and IG, right?"
Ever since, tonight’s second most favorable comment in the LPL e-sports area appeared:
[Will RNG lose to G2? Your father and I are laughing so hard, haha! It seems like you really don’t watch the game at all, buddy! 】
Like *9999!
