Chapter 121 - Tigers, LPL Civil War
The second place in the group is officially drawn.

The first one directly drew KOO.

But before everyone started cheering, KOO's pick flew directly behind IG.

"KOO and FW are both in Group A in the group stage, so we need to avoid them in the half zone, damn!"

"We fight KOO?"

She Keke's face turned a little pale.

It's not scary, but a little unbelievable.

They just played the 3rd seed of LCK and now they have to face the 2nd seed? ?

"It's okay, it's okay, KOO can't even beat FW."

Jack was quite open-minded, but Fumanduo and Zizi looked very solemn.

They knew very well that the Korean team in BO5 was almost incomparable to that in BO1.

They might fail in BO1, but the Korean team in BO5 is absolutely terrifyingly strong.

The strength of the players is not bad and there won’t be any major changes.

But their ability to adjust, cooperate, and BP...

They are much stronger than all the major teams in LPL.

LCK is strong not only because their players are strong.

It’s also because their e-sports system, including youth training, coaches, and analysts, are all so professional!

No matter how KOO performs in the group stage, LCK teams will not perform badly in the knockout stage.

Except for the one who was shut out by OMG, it is recommended to leave the group chat.

There has always been a debate about which region is the top league between LPL and LCK.

This time, the world championship not only includes LPL and LCK, but also LMS and European LCS.

Three LPL teams all made it to the quarterfinals, two LCK teams made it to the quarterfinals, two European teams made it to the quarterfinals, and one LMS team, Flash Wolves.

It seems that LPL is already leading the way.

LCK and Europe both have two.

If I have to say, IG and SKT won all six group stage games and seem to be more powerful.

Both European teams advanced as runners-up in their groups and seem inferior to LCK.

IG vs. KOO, seeing this scene, I don’t know how many teams were secretly glad in their hearts.

Only the IG members looked at each other in bewilderment.

"If we play against KOO, can we not expose our cards like we did against KT?"

Jack was a little embarrassed.

In fact, they were also exposed when playing against KT.

Ryze and Crocodile were both banned.

But this is not a big problem. They think these two heroes can be used to increase BP pressure on the opponent.

They have many other cards.

But it is always limited.

When facing KOO, maybe we need to come up with something else.

"Come on, no need to watch, let's go train."

Yuan Shen stood up and didn't plan to watch the subsequent drawing ceremony.

Sometimes you don’t even need to watch the entire drawing ceremony. You can tell the final result by simply reasoning based on the rules.

According to the half-zone avoidance principle, their opponents can only be EDG and KOO.

Now that they are playing against KOO, LGD's opponent is EDG.

This schedule is a bit like last year.

As long as they defeat KOO, there will be a team from LPL that will be able to advance to the finals.

By then, we will win the runner-up again like in the previous two years.

Or win the championship and achieve a historic breakthrough, it all depends on that team.

"SKT is going to play FNC."

Jack glanced again.

The second draw was FNC.

SKT's opponent has been determined.

In this case, FW will face OG.

Xpeke was almost laughing like crazy at this result.

FNC vs. SKT, they vs. FW.

This means that just an hour ago they were still worried about being eliminated in the round of 16.

In the next hour, they all have a chance to advance to the semi-finals!
In fact, it’s a great chance!
The luck of the draw is too good! ! Left half: SKT——FNC FW——OG
Right half: IG——KOO LGD——EDG
……

"Can Tie Nan not be banned anymore?"

MaRin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the combination of Big Eyes and Ice Girl in the bottom lane suppressing Iron Man head-on.

"Bang's Iron Man is still a little unskilled. We don't need to ban him if we are on the blue side."

Kkoma was also very satisfied.

They have put a lot of effort into this area during this period.

They advanced to the quarterfinals with a score of 6-0, and their opponents in the group stage posed almost no threat to them.

But the existence of IG also makes them feel a sense of urgency.

Some things can be prepared in advance.

If you wait until you meet IG before preparing, it will be too late.

"Qing Huan, how is your captain training going?"

Kkoma turned and looked at MaRin.

Bang's Iron Man needs to be trained, and MaRin's Captain also needs to be trained!

IG can do it, and they have to do it too.

Even if you can't master it, you have to be able to perform well.

Otherwise, BP will be severely restricted.

"It's okay, it's just..."

MaRin hesitated.

Faker really can’t play Gangplank well, but his level of Gangplank is just that.

"Does our fight with KT really prove anything?"

Bang was also a little hesitant.

Arrow's Iron Man level isn't very high, and although Jack's Iron Man is just so-so, he still feels unsure.

"Don't worry, just do what you should do and leave the rest to me."

Faker's voice came faintly.

This is his second time stepping onto the world championship stage.

He won't fail again this time.

……

"Go back and have a good rest tonight, and leave for London tomorrow!"

Fumanduo was not too worried, as the current grouping was very favorable for IG.

There are four stops in the World Championship, and they have successfully reached the second stop.

The quarterfinals will be held at Wembley Stadium in London, England.

They only have three steps left to complete their European pilgrimage.

If they could walk to Brussels, to Berlin...

If they can become the king of the World Championship and become the first LPL World Championship champion, they will be the ultimate winner!

However, although it is a publicly funded tour, flying around is not a good thing for the contestants.

If you suffer from any serious or minor illness due to the unfamiliar climate or soil, your performance will still be affected.

However, when he saw the nutritionists, doctors, and psychologists that his boss had specially assigned to IG, Fu Manduo felt relieved.

Leave the competition to them and the logistics to Su Xiaoluo.

This is the principal's promise to them.

And he will supervise and follow the whole process!
This is the first time that IG has entered the World Championship as the number one seed, which is also a great encouragement to the principal.

He said before that IG would be in trouble if they didn’t make it to the World Championship…

In October, the temperature difference in London is basically small, and the temperature is mostly around 12 or 3 degrees. It is neither too high nor too low. Such a temperature will make people feel very cool and comfortable. It is also a good time for locals to travel and take a walk. Therefore, tourists often choose to visit London in spring or autumn, which is also the peak tourist season in London.

After taking a few hours' flight to London, the IG members checked into the hotel arranged by the authorities.

Although the IG players didn't say anything about their victory over KOO, they still felt a lot of pressure in their hearts.

KOO, in fact, many LPL viewers are familiar with it. This is a team sponsored by Huya China.

Strictly speaking, KOO is a very strange team. Their rhythm is sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and somewhat unpredictable.

To put it more accurately, this is actually a team that pays more attention to on-the-spot performance, and the personal factors of the players are the main reason for their victory.

"I believe you are all familiar with KOO's information. Generally speaking, there are two points that need attention in this team. One is the top laner Smeb, and the other is the jungler Hojin."

Fumanduo adjusted his glasses, tapped the table with his fingers, and looked around at everyone in IG.

"That's right, their jungler Hojin's performance fluctuates greatly. Usually when he is in good form, as long as he is given a little chance, he can activate the rhythm of the entire game.

On the contrary, if the early action is disturbed, then in the whole game, his presence will hardly be felt. Therefore, Kakao, facing KOO's early rhythm is very important, and you must disrupt his rhythm and not let him get so comfortable. "
