Chapter 112 - Changing History, the Four Phantom Gods
Back to the base, the first thing to do is to have a meeting.
"We still have seven days left in the competition. It's very relaxing."
Jack slumped in the chair, his face full of the aftermath of the orgasm.
Today's Tienan had such a great time!
"It's still early, so there's time to adjust, and the opponent isn't very strong."
The gesture also expressed approval.
The second round of the group stage will be held from October 10th to October 8th.
After playing one group every day, their group D will play on the last day.
There are still six or seven days left.
"In my opinion, we can study the play styles of other runner-ups in the group. There is basically no problem in being the first in the group. It would be great if we can get matched with EDG."
KID came over.
At present, the strongest teams that have the possibility of qualifying as the second in the group should be FNC and KOO, while EDG is the easiest one to beat.
And they are old rivals, they are very familiar with each other.
"Who knows, what if LGD gets counterattacked?"
"Then I don't care, we'll fight anyway. It would be best if FW is killed by KOO, that way we'll have an advantage no matter who we fight."
Jack was thinking about the situation of the other groups, and everyone was thinking about it in their hearts.
"It's not a sure thing to win all three games. I think everyone will improve in the second round. We still need to maintain our form and not be too arrogant. It's too early to get complacent after we win the championship. Now is too early."
Su Xiaoluo advised earnestly.
Although he didn't really regard TSM and OG as human beings, he was afraid that the IG players would become too arrogant and underestimate their opponents, leading to failure.
"Yuan Shen, what are you thinking about?"
Fu Manduo turned his head and looked at Yuan Shen.
"Oh, nothing."
Yuan Shen shook his head. He always felt that he had forgotten something.
As far as I can remember, in the S5 World Championship, Tabe backstabbed IG and leaked their tactics.
But that's because Chris became IG's on-team coach and discussed similar things with Tabe.
But now everything has changed.
IG became the number one seed of LPL and has sufficient tactical reserves.
Fumando was not criticized by the management, and Chris was not with the team, so he couldn't say anything to Tabe.
The impression I have is that this thing seems to have lost its soil for survival.
Many things in my memory have changed without me noticing.
Even LGD didn't get too cocky. They were stunned by their use of Malphite in the training match. Now, no matter on the blue or red side, the first ban must be Malphite.
EDG is the third seed, but its overall strength is stronger than we remember.
At least AJ and Tong Yang will not be easily broken through when facing top laners from other regions, and sometimes they can even gain an advantage.
In the expanding LPL region, at least for now, the three teams are performing very well.
A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, may cause a tornado in Texas, USA two weeks later.
Unconsciously, the trajectory of history has changed.
But now, IG no longer has the National Day surrender and no longer has a round of crushing defeat.
It is even possible that they will qualify as the first in the group.
This result was completely within his expectations.
He even felt that it was not enough!
IG has become stronger, will the opponent's strength remain the same?
He didn't know.
All he can do is make himself stronger!
……
Four days passed by in a flash.
On October 10, the second round of the group stage officially kicked off!
In the first round, KOO defeated CLG and PNG again with a 2-1 lead, but failed again when facing FW.
FW’s reputation as the anti-Korean hero has been completely established!
Niu Niu's top lane Lulu restricted Smeb's Noxus with a record of 0-1-17 and near-perfect performance.
Such a result is unacceptable to many North American audiences.
North America’s Wings of Hope CLG couldn’t even qualify from the group stage and even lost to the Flash Wolves from the Taiwan region!
FW's performance in the first round was not good, winning only KOO in three games.
However, they won all three games in the second round, resulting in the same 4-2 record as KOO, and because of the win-loss record, they finished first in the group.
KOO qualified as the second in the group. CLG lost the first match to FW and lost one point to PNG. The two teams were eliminated in the round of 2 with a score of 4-.
There is no need to rank the third and fourth.
In other words, among the top sixteen teams, there is no ninth or sixteenth.
"All Vegetables"
On October 10, the second round of Group B began.
LGD still maintained a considerable level, with the Big Princess and Brother A taking turns to play, and Firefox serving as Homme's substitute on the field, and the BP level was also maintained well.
Except for losing one point against FNC, they maintained an undefeated record against AHQ and C9.
However, C9, which performed very well in the first round, had big problems with its condition.
Three games in the second round, all lost!
In the end, LGD advanced as the first in the group with a record of 5-1, and FNC advanced as the second in the group with a record of 4-2.
2-4的C9,1-5的AHQ,止步十六强。
October 10th, the second round of Group C.
SKT won all three games. When facing EDG, they picked Fiora and Ryze, and suppressed EDG head-on in 6 minutes, ending the game. They advanced as the first in the group with a record of 0-4, and EDG followed closely with 2-.
In three days, six qualifying teams have been decided, and six teams have been eliminated in the round of 16.
Yue Lun shed tears on the court and BKT bid farewell with regret.
The death of a rabbit makes the fox mourn. All the IG members who had watched the game in the base for three days felt as if a huge stone was pressing on their hearts.
"If we fail in the round of 16, I will probably feel worse than them."
Rookie felt a little sad when he saw Yue Lun's regretful farewell.
Yue Lun is the mid laner of KTB and has been teammates with Insec, Ssumday, and Mafa.
He hadn't played professionally at that time.
Later, Yue Lun went to Europe, and he replaced Zero as the mid laner of KTA.
The so-called A and B are actually Arrows and Bullets, arrows and bullets.
He was actually deeply touched by Yue Lun's failure.
Coming from the Korean region, his competitors are Faker, Dade, and Pawn.
No opponent is easy.
Each one is worth his full effort.
In the past, among IG, only Kakao could gain his trust.
He wondered countless times whether he had come to the wrong place until he met Yuan Shen.
He had a lot of fun playing throughout the summer season.
Don’t worry about whether your teammates will collapse, just give full play to your abilities.
"Yes, you cried even more miserably than he did."
Yuan Shen said very confidently.
It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
In his mind, Rookie is the strongest mid laner in laning phase, even stronger than Faker.
Of course, when it comes to commanding teammates and awareness of the overall situation, there is still some gap.
In Yuan Shen's opinion, it is even more difficult for Rookie to lead KID into the World Championship than for him to win the S8 championship.
"Don't say that, it's as if you've seen me cry."
Rookie rolled his eyes at Yuan Shen and couldn't help but say.
"That's hard to say. I can imagine that scene."
Yuan Shen shrugged and changed the subject.
"KOO, FNC, and EDG, these three opponents are not weak."
"It's hard to say. Anyway, Mingkai said that TSM's training matches were very fierce, so we should be careful."
Rookie shook his head. He also felt that now was not the time to get cocky.
In three days, six advanced and six were eliminated. It was really cruel.
If everyone was still relaxed during the first round of competition, after these three days, almost everyone felt tense.
"TSM? Don't worry about that. This is how the Four Phantom Gods are."
Yuan Shen smiled.
"Illusion God? What is that?"
Rookie tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion.
"Oh, the BO1 Flash Wolves, the TS in the scrims, the EDG mentioned by the commentators, and the C9 in the first week of the group stage, all of them are unbeatable."
Yuan Shen shrugged, while Rookie on the other side had already laughed like a goose.
