Chapter 120 - KT stopped in the round of , the quarterfinals were drawn
When returning to the lounge, all OG members stood in the corridor and cheered.
Although Yuan Shen's Noxus got a pentakill over them, it is the nature of Europeans and Americans to admire the strong.
My sister-in-law even exchanged team uniforms with Yuan Shen and took a photo together.
"Leave it to us. I won't let you down for the opportunity you've created for OG."
As the first generation of Mage, this is not the first time Xpeke has participated in the world competition.
He was there during S1.
"Come on! You will win!"
Yuan Shen didn't say much, just patted his sister-in-law on the shoulder.
"Come on, Ssumday, I've seen him, he's not as good as you."
Encouraged by Yuan Shen, my sister-in-law's whole demeanor changed.
Yuan Shen didn't think there was anything inappropriate about what happened to KT.
They just finished a game normally and there was no private transaction.
As for whether KT can advance to the quarterfinals, that is their business.
As long as they beat OG in the tiebreaker, they can still advance.
The opportunity is in your own hands. If you fail to make use of the opportunity given to you, you cannot blame anyone else.
As for mentality and the like, that is even more nonsense.
Can we blame IG for having a bad mentality?
Blame IG for hitting them too hard?
Isn't that funny?
As a professional player, what he wants is to win every game.
This is enough.
KT lost the tiebreaker without a doubt.
Facing OG's defense, they seemed extremely impatient. Score also changed his previous style and tried to find opportunities to create rhythm several times, but was played around by OG.
If you are anxious, you are very anxious.
During the 35-minute game, KT became more and more anxious, and finally their base was pushed down by OG.
At this point, the group stage officially ended, and the teams that appeared in Group D were IG and OG.
This is the first team in the history of the LCK region to be eliminated in the round of 16 in the world championship.
born.
The previous team was the SSO team in S3.
But it was still OGN at that time, not LCK.
At that time, SSO included Looper, Dandy, Dade, Imp, and Mata.
But they were eliminated in the round of 16.
There is no place to reason.
"IG advances to the quarterfinals with a perfect record, while KT loses regrettably!"
"KT lost to OG, the first generation of the King of Mage is in the quarterfinals again!"
"Who is the first division with three spots in the top eight?"
"Four from China, two from Korea and two from Europe, the first division deserves the title!"
Public opinion online changes every day.
But today, there is undoubtedly only one.
IG has advanced to the quarterfinals again.
Why say it again?
Because the last time IG entered the World Championship was in S2.
In that world championship, IG advanced as the second in the group and lost to M5 -.
This time, IG advanced as the first in the group and entered the quarterfinals again.
Top four?
Or, to go a step further...
runner up?
But now that we have reached the finals, why not take one more step?
The group stage is over, and the draw ceremony will follow.
There will be no difference in the quarterfinals.
No matter what seed you are, you are treated equally in the quarterfinals.
Of course, the team that advances as the first in the group will collide with the second in the group.
This can be considered an advantage.
Moreover, teams in the same group will not be placed in the same half, so they can only meet again in the finals.
Of course, the chances of this happening are almost zero.
(Currently only IG and FNC met in the S8 finals)
Looking at the team name on the big screen, Yuan Shen couldn't help but clench his fists.
Group A: FW, KOO
Group B: LGD, FNC
Group C, SKT, EDG
Group D, IG, OG.
Apart from OG avoiding the half zone, they will only have three opponents in the first round, namely FNC, EDG, and KOO.
Among these three teams, EDG is the easiest to play against. They are all from the same division and know each other well. When they were training together before, it was like a father beating his son.
I can only say that the current version is really suitable for IG.
If it was the regular season version, IG might not be able to beat EDG. As for FNC and KOO, Yuan Shen thinks FNC is easier to beat.
After all, Huni is also a CJB in his eyes.
Without Zizi serving as his power bank, Huni wouldn’t be that famous now.
Even though KOO lost to FW, the Korean team’s BO5 strength is still quite strong.
As for the fight between the number one seeds, Yuan Shen feels that as long as they don't meet SKT in advance and let them enter the finals, they will have a chance.
IG, it takes so much time.
SKT started from a high point, so their further progress will only be so-so.
On the contrary, these people from IG, whether it is Shekeke or Ashui, have made great progress during this period.
The World Championship, especially the first time participating in the World Championship, is a very rare experience for every player.
What's more, Kakao and Rookie, including him, are also participating in the World Championship for the first time.
Two players from IG who participated in the World Championship, Zzitai and KID, are now watching the game on the bench, looking at the water dispenser.
For five brand new people who are experiencing the World Championship for the first time, it is reasonable that their strength improves faster.
Of course, SKT also has three such people.
"How's it going, are you nervous?"
Zizhi came closer and took a deep breath.
"I'm not nervous. You should be the one who is nervous. This is your second time on the quarterfinals stage. Don't you have anything to say?"
"Screw you!"
Zzitai rolled his eyes. The fact that he was eliminated in the quarterfinals in Season 2 would always be a pain in his heart.
I thought it was just the beginning, but it turned out to be the peak.
Now it’s the quarterfinals again, but he’s not even the mid laner anymore.
The starting position was also lost...
"It doesn't matter. Our goal is to win the championship. It doesn't matter who we fight."
Rookie is quite open-minded.
Throughout the entire group stage, the only opponent he could take seriously was SKT.
He talked to Pawn and got the information that he couldn't see through it.
EDG simply couldn't force out SKT's ultimate strength, nor could they play their trump cards.
One Ryze and one Fiora are enough to make them anxious.
The blue side is hard to beat, let alone the red side.
Imp doesn't know how to use Malphite, so they don't dare to release it easily even if they are on the blue side.
However, they are already preparing new tactics, which, if feasible, will give them an advantage when they are on the red side.
Pawn didn't say what it was specifically, and Rookie didn't ask.
Everyone knows it.
At this point, the two teams are rivals.
In the quarterfinals, it doesn’t matter whether you are in the same division or not. You will be opponents if you are destined to be opponents, and there is no way to avoid it.
EDG and them are more likely to meet in the first round.
On the big screen, the host drew SKT as the first draw.
The second lot I drew was IG.
Yuan Shen's face turned dark.
This host must be sick!
They met SKT in the semifinals? ?
The audience at the scene was also instantly in an uproar.
However, the IG team logo on the screen slid directly to the right.
"call……"
Yuan Shen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that if they wanted to meet SKT, they could only do so in the finals.
The host drew FW for the third time.
SKT vs. Flash Wolves?
Yuan Shen's face looked a little strange.
Doesn’t that guarantee you a place in the finals?
As for the second place in the group, it seems that they will not be able to cause any trouble to SKT.
However, it is estimated that FW can only reach the quarterfinals.
There’s no need to draw for the fourth pick, it can only be LGD.
IG and LGD were assigned to the same half of the group.
"Come on, make it to the finals!"
Wei Shen looked at Yuan Shen.
No matter who his opponent is, he is now extremely confident!
If you meet Yuan Shen, there might be some trouble.
But, we will win!
"come on!!"
Rookie was also very happy.
If we reach the semi-finals, it would be great to play against LGD.
