Chapter 704: Ancient Dragon General
"Don't be so impatient."
The factory manager was mature and prudent: "Too fast is not a good thing. We need to proceed step by step and finish everything we need to do before considering ending it."
"Why do I feel like what you said is a little strange..." Meiko asked doubtfully.
"Is it strange?"
"Strange!"
"That's because your thoughts are not pure." The factory director turned the tables.
“Go away!” Meiko waved his hands unhappily. “FNC has secured this game. GRX is a team that is totally giving away points. I don’t know if RNG can find their form. If they are still so confused, it seems like they will be in danger of even qualifying.”
Group C has four teams.
They are KT, RNG, TL, and G2.
Currently, KT is leading the pack.
RNG and G2 have the same points.
TL, the No. 1 seed in North America, invested a lot of money to buy top laner Damu and AD Carter, but has yet to win a single game.
If nothing unexpected happens, Doublelift should be able to advance to the top 16 again, just like in S2, S5, S6, and S7... The curse on his head is even more solid than that of UZI.
After FNC slaughtered GRX, the game between TL and RNG officially began.
There is no suspense in the process and the result.
RNG used the Lucian + Old Bull combination in the bottom lane, and they rode on Doublelift's face the whole time and even completed a 2v3 triple kill.
This destroyed TL's mentality.
The unstoppable rhythm gave TL its third loss.
The last game is between KT and G2.
Before the game, everyone thought it would be easy for KT to beat G2.
After all, LCK's No. 1 seed KT not only has a Galaxy Battleship-level configuration, but also has been playing better and better from the Spring Split to the Summer Split. Its strength is constantly increasing with its tacit understanding. It even easily defeated RNG once, proving its strength as the world's second-best team with its record.
However.
G2 is indeed a genius team.
Facing KT's top lane Aatrox, jungle Kindred, mid lane Syndra, and bottom lane Xayah + Thresh.
G2 brought out Shen on top lane, Gragas on jungle, Leblanc on mid lane, and Galio + Rakan on bottom lane.
Lineup selection.
Things are getting a little weird...
KT uses a hero combination that is more inclined towards team battles, and has a total of four output positions. Each of them has the opportunity to carry the game, maximizing the advantages of individual abilities.
But G2 had Shen's split push, Gragas disrupting the formation, Leblanc stealing damage from the side, and Big Guy setting up a strengthened turret to dissuade everyone, making KT's idea difficult to implement.
really.
The first twenty minutes.
KT team only got one kill and was still several hundred dollars behind G2 in economy.
"Fuck you!"
Ah Shui was very surprised: " European and rookies have learned how to operate this year? Can they even operate KT?"
Everyone knows.
The individual strength of the players in Europe and North America is not too bad.
The King of France is the best in the world, the Korean aid in the top lane was once the first choice, and it is easy to stabilize the relatively weak bottom lane.
As for the jungle...
The so-called Nakano family.
The jungler has the mid-lane mage as his support, so as long as he doesn't cause any trouble, he won't suffer much.
The reason why they have always been known as "European and American noobs" is because the teams in these two regions like to engage in inexplicable fights, which turn the game into a mess not long after entering, and often result in behaviors that do not make up for the loss.
To put it bluntly, the division is not strong enough, and teams with star players can win even if they make mistakes.
This makes it difficult for European and North American teams to form a rigorous style.
When it comes to world-class competitions, this kind of carelessness becomes a huge blow.
Unexpectedly.
This year's G2 has changed its previous style and played in an extremely stable manner. It relied on the consumption of the big head to force Xayah back to the city, and then switched lanes to destroy the first blood tower in the top lane.
If you are not sure of winning, you would rather wait for the Rift Herald to disappear than to risk it.
The mid laner Perkz turned into a support killer, and while the other KT players were catching Shen, he completed a solo kill on Thresh.
28 minutes and 26 seconds.
The KT team was frustrated and made a stupid decision.
——Forcefully open Baron Nashor.
But G2 top laner Shen, who was hiding in the grass, took the opportunity to lead the bottom lane troops straight into the bottom lane and destroyed the high ground.
On the front, Gragas and Leblanc took advantage of KT's eagerness to return to the city for defense, killed Kindred and Syndra in the pursuit, took the Baron's enhanced BUFF, and broke KT's mid-lane high ground.
35 minutes and 11 seconds.
G2 attacked KT's only remaining top lane high ground. Jungler Gragas took the initiative and exchanged moves with Xayah. The other G2 players then killed the Aatrox who rushed into the crowd.
Although KT, which was missing two generals, put up a very determined resistance, it was still pushed down by G2 in one wave!
This time.
Except for South Korea, audiences all over the world were excited.
What level is G2?
It is an optimistic team named after the whole life.
It is the third largest team in Europe after .
The purpose is to compete for a place in the qualifying round and be regarded as a background board for the runner-up.
Such a team not only defeated the North American No. 1 seed TL, but also defeated the Korean No. 1 seed KT?
Damn it!
This is not a dream, right?!
"Group C is indeed the group of death, but the one competing with KT and RNG for the spot is not TL, but G2."
“There’s really something going on in Europe this year.”
"Fuck, VIT beat AFs before, G2 beat KT... Europe has won all the games against Korea!"
"Don't say EU is greater than NA, just say EU is greater than KR."
“…”
The forum is extremely lively.
The Korean team has dominated the League of Legends since S3. Even though EDG staged a comeback at the 2015 MSI, it was quickly beaten back at the end of the year.
Even if EDG ascends the throne and wins consecutive championships, there are still many voices believing that the overall strength of LCK is above that of LPL.
This year's Intercontinental Championship was won by LPL with absolute advantage, which broke this saying.
However, in the minds of players all over the world, LCK is still the region second only to LPL, with a small gap and the ability to threaten the status of LPL.
Unexpectedly.
Europe, which has been regarded as a weakling for many years, has risen!
"We are the first world champions!"
LCS.EU commentator Caedrel was excited: "Although our region has been quiet for a long time, our foundation has always been there. Judging from our performance in the first round of group matches, our performance is not inferior to that of LPL!"
"VIT's victory over AFs and G2's victory over KT are enough to prove that our strength is already above that of LCK!"
"NA is also doing well this year. C9 has a great chance to get a ticket to the knockout stage and even compete for first place in the group!"
"Don't be blindly confident..." Another commentator, Medic, was much more rational: "It's not difficult for C9 to get a ticket to the knockout stage, but it's still not easy to compete for the first place in the group. You have to know that General has been a top laner in the world since his debut. To overcome this mountain, it is as difficult as challenging an ancient dragon guarding a cave full of treasures alone."
"I think C9 is qualified to be the dragon slayer!" Caedrel insisted.
"Your idea is beautiful." Medic shook his head: "But to be honest, even my grandfather knows the gap between other teams and EDG. C9 wants to be the dragon slayer..."
Speaking of this.
Medic shrugged and spread his hands, making a helpless expression: "The best way is to choose the popular jungler Zhao Xin and use the skin called 'Dragon Slayer'."
