I didn't choose randomly

Chapter 493 The End of the Group Competition

The first match of the Group of Death gave the audience a big blow. When everyone thought that TSM was no good and had already been eliminated, they won TSM strongly.

TSM kicked off the opening match of the second round of the group of death with a beautiful turnaround. The audience in North America is very excited about this. TSM will rebound from the bottom and qualify with a miracle of three consecutive victories in the second round of the group stage.

Only the audience in North America can be so optimistic. If the audience in LPL has already started complaining, then they have to wait for the possibility of qualifying in theory.

After TSM's successful upset, SN has stabilized the situation of the game. In the case of losing to GEN in the first round, they played very beautifully this time.

Through his excellent personal ability and Sofm's sense of smell in the wild, Bin successfully gained a huge advantage in the early stage, and did not give GEN a chance to drag it down, and successfully ended the game in a wave.

With the halfway through the group stage of the World Championship, the state of the entire SN team has undergone great changes. The players in the three lanes have become full of state, especially Ah Bin, who was still a little green before.

After experiencing the failure of the summer split and the experience of the play-in match, he slowly played with confidence, and his sense of oppression on the top lane became stronger and stronger, and his operation became sharper and sharper.

Therefore, SN's entire history of the World Championship has been to become stronger and stronger. In the first group stage, they met GEN and were led by the opponent. However, in just a few days, SN has changed its style and played more resolutely. up.

On the contrary, GEN played more and more wrongly. Their procrastinating rhythm did not produce any changes in the World Championships. They were still slow, waiting for their opponents to make mistakes, and then grinding them to death.

However, this style of play is completely unsuitable for the rhythm of the current version of the World Championship. Therefore, in Group C, the death group, GEN has already half-stepped into the cliff.

Now that the schedule is halfway through, except for SN who has temporarily landed with a record of three wins and one loss, the other three teams are still fighting.

FNC's record is two wins and two losses, while GEN and TSM's records are both one win and three losses. At present, both have the possibility of qualifying as No.2.

Therefore, the next game is very critical for Samsung. They must defeat TSM head-on, and then retain their right to qualify.

TSM is also facing the same situation. Just when the North American audience thought that TSM's status had begun to recover, they disappointed the North American audience again.

Facing the wretched and well-developed GEN, the big brother seemed very anxious, and GEN seized the opportunity in several mid-term team battles one after another, ruining the entire game.

In this battle at the bottom of the Valley of Heavenly Kings, Samsung got the hope of qualifying, and they won two wins with FNC, and they both reserved the final right to qualify.

After that, it was the turn of SN and FNC. If SN can win, then they have already determined the places to qualify for the group stage.

But if FNC wins, the group stage will fall into chaos again, and any of the two teams with three victories may be eliminated.

Fortunately, SN finally withstood the pressure, relying on the increasingly fiery touch, successfully defeated FNC who was in a desperate situation, and stepped on them to successfully qualify.

With four victories already, and the next opponent is TSM, which has already been eliminated, SN has basically determined the place to qualify.

Sure enough, in the next back-to-back match, SN easily defeated TSM, who had lost the will to fight, and achieved a record of five wins and one loss.

After six games, SN got off to a bad start, and finally made great strides all the way, playing better and better, and finally became the first in the third group.

However, the suspense of qualifying from Group C remained until the end. The two 2-3 teams wanted to compete for the final victory. They thought there would be a playoff.

As a result, with SN's efforts, the situation of Group C's death group has gradually become clear, but this situation is a bit uncomfortable for GEN.

They didn't expect that the World Championship would become so difficult. In the eyes of the LCK audience, Samsung is about to become a disgrace to the LCK.

Because the LCK team has never suffered such grievances in the group stage of the World Championship. As an LCK team that fails to win the first place in the group, when has it considered the issue of qualifying?

The final thing is that GEN still stepped on SKT to enter the World Championship. At first, they made heavy blows in the civil war, but they became submissive in the foreign war. If Samsung can't make it out, the public opinion next door will definitely explode in an instant.

In this duel about qualifying places, Samsung and the old fritters had a better mentality. The young FNC players still played too impatiently. Samsung caught the loophole again in the middle and late stages and successfully won the game.

In the end, the match in Group C was over. In the ups and downs of the arena, SN successfully won the first place in the group with a better and better posture, while GEN first relied on a stable performance in the second round despite a bad start. Appeared as the second in the group stage.

After the death group match, the pressure was placed on Group D, but compared to the entanglement in Group C, the situation in Group D was very different.

IG won all three games and ended the game quickly, far surpassing the other three teams in strength. Although DRX is not as strong as IG, it is still very easy to beat the other two teams.

As for FLY and UOL, they are basically fish in troubled waters. They are small fish in the pond, and they have no way to grasp their own destiny.

On the fifth day, when Group D started, there was no suspense in the first two games. DRX went to easily win FLY again, and there was no disturbance in the whole game.

And IG also easily defeated FLY. The game took 8 minutes. Basically, after the laning period ended, they pushed all the way to the base crystal. It seemed that they were not at the same level.

After that, IG and DRX exchanged opponents, and the situation was still one-sided. IG and DRX won the game steadily, without giving FLY and UOL any chance of upset.

Under such circumstances, no one paid attention to the pecking between the rookies of FLY and UOL. Everyone focused on the last game of the group stage.

If DRX can beat IG in an upset, then they will have the qualification to challenge the IG group first in the play-offs, but if DRX loses the game, then IG will qualify from the group stage with a complete victory.

At present, only one team, JDG, has won all the matches. As the third seed of the LPL, JDG can be regarded as a big boost to the LPL competition area.

As all three LPL teams have already qualified, and both of them have qualified for the first place in the group stage, this makes the LPL audience very crazy.

When the No. [-] seed in LPL has not yet qualified, the No. [-], [-] and [-] seeds have already started killing randomly. How can this not make LPL fans happy.

Therefore, in the last game between IG and DRX, audiences from all over the world paid close attention to it, wanting to see how IG won the game strongly.

Now that the group stage has been played, the IG players have become very relaxed. Even Xiao Leyan, who entered the World Championship for the first time, has no nervous expression.

Because from the perspective of the strength of the group stage, the gold content of the LPL playoffs is not as high as that of the LPL. Of course, this refers to the strength of Group D. If they enter the subsequent knockout rounds, everything may be different.

Yunge, for example, has noticed the changes in SN. Compared with the semi-finals, SN in the current World Championship can definitely reach the top.

With the current state of IG, it is not so easy to win this SN, which has high morale and has been baptized in the world championship.

This is the characteristic of young players. Although it is easy to make mistakes, once they are beaten crazy by them, the state will be unstoppable.

For example, SN's top laner, Bin, felt like he was going crazy, especially in the last round of the group stage, when he won three consecutive victories, he basically beat his opponents in the top lane and won the victory with his team.

Of course, other SN players are also in excellent condition, which is an important reason why SN can easily break through from the death group.

Therefore, for the next knockout round, Yun Ge still has a relatively cautious state, at least not to underestimate the opponent until the next opponent is determined.

Even facing DRX again, Yunge's BP strategy is still very stable, choosing IG's best tactical system and not playing tricks at all.

On the contrary, DRX, who was very arrogant in the last game, changed his posture and chose a very cautious BP strategy, obviously learning the lesson of the last game.

Seeing this, Yun Ge couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, although the DRX coaching staff seemed a bit arrogant, but their professional attitude was pretty good, and after losing the game, they quickly made corresponding adjustments.

Being able to admit mistakes is actually a very rare performance.

But all of this is not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength. This round came to the IG of the blue side, and still sent Olaf, the bear and the troll to the Ban position.

And DRX began to limit Rookie's hero pool, sending Syndra and Tsar to the Ban position, and then chose to target Xiao Leyan's jungle male gun.

Seeing this, Yun Ge grabbed the leopard girl. Without a male gun, the wild-core leopard girl is the best choice for the current version.

After seeing IG take the Leopard Girl, DRX was not to be outdone, and also took out its own wild core system, and selected the middle-field combination of Qian Jue and Galio.

Seeing DRX's choice, Yun Ge couldn't help showing interest in his eyes, not to mention, this Nakano is quite interesting.

Qian Jue and Galio's middle and wild are complementary, not only in terms of damage, one is physical, the other is AP, and in terms of range, it is also a combination of long-handed and short-handed.

More importantly, if Galio in the middle lane can have the line power, he can protect Qian Jue's very weak wild area in the early stage, allowing Qian Jue to quickly overcome his weak period.

And in the middle and late stages, relying on Qian Jue's output, the combat effectiveness of this middle field is not bad, and it can be regarded as a first-class wild core partner.

But it is a pity that this combination is not very practical for IG. To put it bluntly, the hero Galio sacrifices the ability of a single player.

With Rookie so good, choosing Galio for Rookie is not a wise decision at all. Similarly, choosing Galio for Chovy is also an overkill.

Thinking of this, the surprise in Yun Ge's eyes gradually turned into disappointment. DRX is indeed a good match, but unfortunately it is not suitable for IG, and it is also not suitable for DRX.

Although Chovy's style is different from that of the powerful Rookie, he is also an online player. Letting Chovy play this kind of support hero is like DRX's self-destruction.

This made Yun Ge think of TES in the previous finals, and it was a match for White Crescent who chose Galio for the left hand in the third game.

In a sense, this was a mistake made by the coaching staff who were too superstitious about the version. In Yun Ge's view, the version was indeed important, but the player's adaptation style was also important.

For example, Ah Shui, who is in the bottom lane, in the current version all chooses functional AD, Yunge will still choose Ah Shui an AD that is strong in laning and easy to operate in team battles.

Because Yunge understands that no matter how good the lineup is, the players will still play the game. The coaching staff can't choose a strong version of the lineup, and that's it. .

Although Ah Shui is very proficient in some functional ADs and can play with them, Yunge knows that Ah Shui is still a player who can operate in team battles. Even if sometimes it does not meet the requirements of the version, Yunge will still To Ah Shui's other players.

It is obvious that DRX's coaching staff is the same as White Crescent. They don't understand the version and the experience of the players. DRX chose cards for Chovy and heroes like Galio for two consecutive games. Yunge didn't know what they were thinking. of.

Although Yun Ge is not optimistic about DRX's BP, but he is not relentless, and directly locks the middle and top of Jess and Gnar, forming the bond of the three [shape changers].

After seeing IG's choice, the coaching staff of DRX felt a little bad, but they had already selected the mid laner Galio, so they could only bite the bullet and choose the female policeman, wanting to play a strong position in the bottom lane again.

The reason why DRX was able to enter the World Championship is purely relying on the personal ability of the middle and lower double C, Chovy naturally needless to mention, even though Mr. Dai is not young, he is still not a big brother in the LCK.

After all, in the LCK nursing home, there are still a few players who are like living fossils who have not yet retired. For example, Samsung's AD Chidi and SJT's mid laner Faker are all older than Deft.

They can all play games, and of course Deft can play too. Mr. Dai can not only play, but also take off.

Yun Ge actually didn't expect that DRX would choose a female policeman to play the bottom lane, but he had confidence in Ah Shui. In the second round of BP, IG chose to target Samsung's support, and sent the robot and Bud to the support team. Ban position.

In Yun Ge's view, DRX's support is actually more threatening than Mr. Dai's, and DRX started to target Ah Shui in the second round of Ban positions, putting Ah Shui on Xia, who performed well in the first game, and Han, who has been frequently used recently. Bing sent to Ban.

DRX chose to show Karma in the fourth move, and gave Kang Te to the top lane, but Yunge did not hesitate, and directly locked the team-opening bottom lane of Verus and Shuguang.

In fact, when IG showed Gnar and Jess, it didn't really matter what to choose in the bottom lane. These two heroes with strong laning were enough for TheShy and Rookie to overthrow the top half.

On the contrary, the bottom lane takes on some important tasks of starting a team, which will make IG play more comfortably in team battles, which can be regarded as giving the team another level of support. After all, IG's upper middle field basically does not have the ability to start a team.
