Chapter 331: Quarterfinals against LZ!
"Oh my god, it's beautiful!"
"Rabbit is awesome!"
“LZ is numb this time hahahahahaha.”
“This robot is so powerful.”
All members of EDG.
And all the audience who were paying attention to this game and supporting the LPL region cheered excitedly.
The "European and American noobs" that no one cared about could actually overthrow the No. 1 seed in LCK...
It’s really... such a surprise!
In this way, as long as IG defeats IMT, they can surpass LZ with a record of 5-1 and there is no need for a tiebreaker.
North America's second seed IMT is the weakest team in Group B.
Not much different from an experienced baby.
In the sixth game, IG successfully seized the opportunity, and won the victory without any suspense, suppressing the LZ team.
The next two days.
RNG completed the achievement of double killing SSG. Although they suffered a setback when facing G2, it did not affect the ranking.
After WE won consecutive victories over the North American TSM and Flash Wolves FW, their points surpassed FNC.
All four LPL teams qualified as the number one seed.
It undoubtedly made the players fall into a carnival.
Even the official made a poster for this and launched an event to double experience and gold coins. You can see very impactful pictures when you open the client.
After the post-match statistics and interview stage.
The draw ceremony for the quarter-finals begins.
EDG was the first to be pulled out and placed in the left half of the area. WE was also in the same half.
The right half is IG and RNG.
Next, start drawing opponents from pool two.
The first one to appear is...
LZ team!
"The main event is right here!"
Ze Yuan expressed his opinion: "It can't be said that it's a bad thing for EDG to draw LZ, because SKT and FNC have to avoid it, and the team that can fight EDG must be one of LZ and SSG."
"It's better to meet SSG."
"It's no problem if I meet LZ."
"That's right." Special guest Youzi agreed: "The Korean team has a very strong ability to adjust, and will get better and better. E DG's first round match should be against the weakest LZ."
Here, Yuzu actually has something to say.
That is, I don’t think WE can beat LZ team.
After all, LZ is the number one seed in the LCK region.
Losing to IG was more like a coincidence, and it cannot be said that the reputation was not lived up to.
WE, which has relatively poor hard power and mainly relies on Condi to steal the dragon and make comebacks in late team battles, showed a downward trend in the playoffs.
It is already the weakest among the 'Big Three'.
It is very likely to become a cushion or even a whetstone for the LZ team.
"The second one drawn is SKT."
Changmao was a little listless: "According to the same group avoidance principle, SKT will switch to another half zone to play against IG."
The third one drawn was FNC.
Still switched to the right half zone and fought against RNG.
The only one left for WE is SSG.
The dust has settled.
The match table appeared in the center of the big screen.
EDG vs. LZ, WE vs. SSG.
IG vs. SKT, RNG vs. FNC.
The first game will start at 4 pm on October 19 at the Guangzhou Gymnasium.
Compared to foreign countries, you can only fly back and forth.
You can travel within the country by high-speed rail.
Although it takes an extra hour and a half, you don't have to endure the noise and air pressure, and you can still enjoy the scenery along the way.
Most importantly, the safety factor is much higher.
When people are on a plane and an accident occurs, the probability of survival is basically non-existent.
Even if the high-speed rail derails, it is not a big problem.
After arriving at the destination, follow the map navigation to find the officially designated hotel, check the computer equipment and network conditions, and immediately challenge other teams.
There are only three days left until the quarterfinals.
Every bit of time is precious.
The most enthusiastic team was IG. After all, with IG's strength this season, entering the World Finals is a very rare opportunity, and they are clearly at a disadvantage facing SKT.
Do everything you can to increase your chances of winning.
RNG is the same as before, with five fixed games every day.
Because FNC is not a threat, as long as you don't be too careless, the possibility of a disaster is very low.
What is more important is to study the opponents after the semi-finals.
Time goes by day by day.
soon.
The first match of the quarterfinals officially kicked off.
"Hello, summoners!"
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends World Championship, quarterfinals."
"Today, the two teams participating in the competition are our LPL No. 1 seed EDG, and LCK No. 1 seed LZ!"
After a simple opening ceremony.
The two commentators, Wawa and Miller, and special guest Smile appeared in front of the camera together.
"This match can be said to be the most valuable quarterfinal match in history."
Wawa made a comparison: "The No. 1 seed of LPL vs. the No. 1 seed of LCK, and both sides have a dominant position in their respective regions."
“It’s definitely not an exaggeration to say that they are the two strongest teams.”
"Indeed." Miller nodded: "Whichever team wins will have a high chance of winning the championship."
"What does Smile think of today's battle?" Wawa warmed up the audience.
"I'm optimistic about EDG." Smile's position is very firm, and he gave a very reasonable analysis: "From the perspective of strength, EDG advanced with all wins, and LZ team lost two games in the group stage."
“The upper limits of both sides may not be much different.”
"But in terms of stability, EDG is clearly better."
"And as last year's champion, EDG has more experience."
While talking.
The camera turns to the main stage.
The ten contestants have entered their respective seats to check and debug the equipment.
“Both sides are in very good spirits.”
Miller looked at the screen and said, "In fact , I think that in this level of confrontation, in addition to personal performance and tactical reserves, the more important thing is mentality."
"Because when the strength reaches a certain level, there won't be a particularly big gap."
“Mentality is the key to success.”
"That's right." Wawa agreed very much: "If that's the case, EDG actually has a big advantage. Let's not talk about the other players. General definitely has a big heart."
"General was very daring and aggressive when he first stepped onto the World Championship stage last year."
"Even heroes like Vayne and Graves can be used."
“This year, General played more casually in the group stage. It was a complete talent show.”
"The talent show was pretty good." Miller couldn't help but laugh.
Think about it.
It's true.
In the group stage, Xing Dao stood out with his casualness.
Relatively speaking, Khan, who is also a top laner, is much more serious and uses the main hero in every game.
Of course, it cannot be said that being serious is a bad thing .
But no matter what level of opponent you are fighting, you need to be serious, and your mental state is obviously not as relaxed as Xing Dao's.
When the critical moment comes, problems may arise because of this.
soon.
Both parties completed the debugging and confirmed with the referee.
Entering the custom room created by OB, the first round of BP game began...
