LOL: Serve the country with loyalty, I have full attributes to resist Korea

Chapter 353: Captain Dragonfly! Three of the top four teams! A magnificent dynasty in the history of the competition area!
October 2023, 10, LOL Park theme park in Seoul.

The S13 Global Finals officially begins!
Starting from this year onwards, the global finals will adopt a new competition system, and even the qualifying rounds will become more brutal.

Not only do the selected teams have to play in the qualifiers, but the former Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions are also included in this category, and the number of places that can eventually advance from the qualifying round to the group stage has been reduced from 4 to only 2!
However, it is worth mentioning that originally this year, the European and American regions of LCS and LEC would be far lower in popularity and performance than the other two regions, so Riot officially adjusted their world championship quotas, cutting one of the four world championship seats originally held by the four major regions.

The two original fourth seeds from the European and American regions will have a BO5 match to decide the owner of a ticket to the play-in round, which was once the treatment of the Taiwan region.

It can be said that this officially kicked these two regions out of the ranks of top regions.

However, nothing happened in this world.

Due to the advancement of the Chinese aid export plan, the foreign aid market in major competition areas is now extremely competitive!

Countless veteran Korean players have had to lower their prices in order to find jobs, which has also led to the European and American regions now being almost fully staffed with foreign players. If they can't find good Chinese players, they will at least recruit as many Korean players as possible.

The competitiveness of the competition area has increased a lot, and the quota has naturally been reserved.

Of course, as a region that won both the MSI and last year's S Championship, LPL's fourth seed WBG will directly enter the Swiss round without having to play in the qualifying round.

On the other hand, the LCK region, which has not won any prizes for a year, needs to let the fourth seed DK fight for the qualifying round just like the European and American regions.

In the words of netizens————"You! Go sit at the same table with the European and American regions!"

The qualifying round started as scheduled.

Unexpectedly, several games in the qualifying round were extremely exciting.

The most impressive one is Adam, a top laner from the European and American team.

Just after DK took the lead in obtaining a ticket to the qualifying round winner, the remaining ticket will be born between the veteran champion PSG in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan divisions, and the new generation team BDS in Europe and the United States.

This BO5 was full of ups and downs, and BDS was almost eliminated by default after being crushed in two games in a row.

After all, due to the rewriting of the timeline, there has not been any "come back from 2-0 down 3-0" in the S game in this world.

But after losing the second game, Adam asked his coach not to let him choose any heroes in the new version.
Afterwards, Ya chose the first game of S13—top laner Garen!
In the third game, BDS was still at a big disadvantage in the early stages.

The Taiwanese commentator even opened champagne in the first half. Green Tea threatened: "I really don't want the game to end so quickly. 3-0 is too boring. I really hope that BDS can win the third game. We didn't come here to see /~~"

But at this moment, the top laner Garen stood up.

5 minutes, 2v2 tower dive and kill!

8 minutes, solo kill in laning phase!

11 minutes in, solo kill after crossing the tower!

A hero who was regarded as a "novice hero" finally made his voice heard in the World Championship, triggering the empathy and emotion of countless players!

Garen eventually led his team to a comeback victory with a score of 7-1 against his opponent's 0-7.

In the fourth game, PSG chose to ban Garen.

But Adam once again chose the top laner Noxus, who was also chosen in the first game of S13!
This time, the head-to-head record is 8-0!
Garen, Noxus, Olaf.

The soul of the heavy-armored warrior seemed to be burning in his body.

Even Cheng Ming, who was equally impressed and already knew the result, couldn't help but applaud the opponent in front of the screen when he watched this BO5 again.

"BDS created a miracle! They were the first team in the history of the S-League to come back from 2-0 down to 3-0 down! They made it to the group stage!!"

"They are the pride of our European division!"

Even though everyone knew that Adam only had these three unique skills, he would be easily defeated if he was banned or targeted.

But it is obvious that it is players like these who can better highlight the charm and significance of the competition.

His existence seems to be telling everyone that it is not necessary to always choose the same version of heroes in order to win.

Believe in the version, and believe in yourself!

Of course, before this, there was already someone in this world who told the world this.

Also since S10, the number of heroes appearing in the League of Legends S game has been setting new records every year.

And everyone is naturally very clear that this is definitely not the result of those crappy "balance" created by those designers.

Because there are more than a dozen heroes, all of which have only a one-time selection rate.
The two teams that fought their way through the qualifying rounds were decided.

October 2023, 10 - The group stage begins!
Since this is the first time that the "Swiss Round" competition system is used, teams with the same win-loss record will be ranked and compete against each other until the record reaches three wins or three losses.

Therefore, the opponents in each round need to be re-drawn.

Therefore, in this seemingly fair competition system, the order of the draw may become the only "unfair" link.

This is because the Swiss round no longer distinguishes the so-called "seed pools" and there is no longer any protection from "regional isolation".

Therefore, it is entirely possible that some unlucky teams will be drawn to play against strong teams for several rounds in a row, or even have to fight in intra-district wars for several rounds in a row!
Because of this, many LPL viewers are extremely worried!

After all, the host of this event is South Korea, and given their well-known sportsmanship, it is really hard not to have doubts.
But what many people don’t know is.

The person chosen this time is the famous "Captain Dragonfly" in later generations!
In the second round of draws, Captain Dragonfly, who loves playing Candy Crush Saga, drew 6 out of a maximum of 5 civil wars!
Let Meng Huo in every competition area find his own prime minister!
And in the China-South Korea match drawn in the fourth round, he, who upholds fairness and justice, let number one play number one, and number two play number two. This is the absolute fairness and justice of Captain Dragonfly's refereeing.

Once again, in the fifth round of draws, the LPL avoided a civil war while forcing both teams in the LCK to engage in a civil war.

That is why the entire group stage was known for being filled with many famous scenes.

There is JDG who was caught by WE in eighth place.

There is also T1, who was caught by GEN.G in sixth place.

There is also the "fateful showdown" between "Junior Class" and "Korean Class"!
The all-midfielder is still last year's semi-finalist 100T, but its "bloodline" is not very pure, because there is only one Duke Zoom in the team who chose to obtain a green card with the help of the team and stay in North America to start his upward mobility.

But TL is made up of all Korean players, so it can be said that the lineup is gorgeous and truly pure!

The top laner is SKT's first generation player Damu, and the support is GEN champion CoreJJ, two local players with double green cards.

The mid laner is a Korean player, and the AD player is Korean-American.

The jungler is Pyosik, who was the jungler of DRX, the runner-up last year.

According to the anonymous teacher Big B who "inadvertently let slip" in the live broadcast room, on the night after the end of S12, Pyosik was jointly pressured by his two teammates in the middle and top to put pressure on the top management, saying bluntly that if he doesn't leave, they will leave!
When poor P found out about this, he could no longer find a job in LCK and had to come to LCS.

At the same time, the head coach of this TL team is the first FMVP top laner of the S series - Marin.

This is the team. All six players from top to bottom have pure Korean blood. It can even be said to be a top Korean aid team with "four Korean S-League champions".

But to my surprise, I got a 100T speedrun!!!
It’s far from over. TL was unlucky enough to run into T1, which had just been countered by GEN.G’s Prime Minister, and fell into the loser round.

In the loser's round BO3, TL finally faced the "weak team" Vietnamese team GAM.

As a result, I was forced to complete two speedruns in a row!
The food is so delicious that you want three more bowls of rice!

There is nothing to say now. This "all-Korean team" that everyone was looking forward to seeing the results of the experiment became the first team in the top 0 to be eliminated 3- in the S game, which has become a huge joke.

There is no doubt that the "four S-League champions" in the team have lost face.

The quality of Korean aid has once again been greatly questioned.

If even a "perfect all-Korean team" like TL can only achieve such results, then why do they spend huge amounts of money to recruit Korean players?

In the subsequent matches, the teams that would advance to the quarterfinals were gradually determined.

After WE defeated GEN.G in the second round, they continued to sing and became the first to qualify with three bars and zero!
T1 met GEN.G in the second round, a team that seemed to be born to play against them, and finally advanced with a score of 3-1.

Moreover, due to the appearance of WE, the draw order changed, and T1 drew JDG in the last round, and finally defeated the opponent with a small score of 2-0.

However, LPL viewers have not yet realized anything about this.

After all, this game does not affect JDG's qualification, and judging from the results in the playoffs, JDG can neither beat WE nor is it only one step away from the semi-finals with LNG.

There are even many people who believe that LNG will be even stronger in this version of the finals.

Who knows! LNG may have a better chance!

至于最后的WBG。小虎时隔整整5年，在10月20日这个美妙的日子，再一次迎战五年前的2018年10月20日曾经的老对手G2。

Xiaohu successfully led the team to lose the game on the day of "G2 eliminated RNG's fifth anniversary"!

Fate really is so predestined.

And in the subsequent match against KT, WBG lost by a large margin again.

But fortunately, thanks to Captain Qingting's "lucky draw", WBG successfully defeated the three teams from Vietnam, Europe and North America and squeezed into the quarterfinals!
In the end, all LPL teams successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

On the LCK side, the DK team, with the "help" of captain Dragonfly, first played against WE, then experienced a series of civil wars, and was sent off by their own team KT in the last round, ending in the top 16.

The glory of DWG, the big turtle, seemed to have come to an end at the moment of the birth of the shameful top 16.

Even Canyon, the only one of the two founding members who still stayed in the team, had a different mentality at this moment.
Since then, the top eight teams have all been announced.

Four LPL teams, three LCK teams, and one European team.

When Cheng Ming looked at the result, his heart was already filled with ups and downs.

History seemed different, but it always seemed to be inadvertently moving closer to memory, including this familiar top eight ranking. He didn't know where it would eventually develop.

But no matter what.

The results this time will definitely be different!

Because this time, he came.

On the day the group stage ends, the draw for the quarter-finals will begin simultaneously.

Captain Dragonfly still draws the lots.

To be honest, he is under a lot of pressure.

As a Korean, even though everything is random, the result of the Swiss round group stage draw does have a kind of "beauty of an insider"!
Now I heard that the Internet in China is full of jokes, while the Internet in Korea is full of trolls.

There are also many fans who hold show soldier certificates and comment on his Twitter every day, asking him to wait and they will drive their dump trucks to create a flying scene for him at any time!
However, Captain Dragonfly on the stage still had clear and determined eyes and a serious expression, and reached into the ball pool to draw.

The results of the top and bottom quarterfinals are out————

WE vs KT

JDG vs. Gen.G

WBG vs NGR

LNG vs. T1

[Analytically speaking, this should be the best draft pick in theory, right? ]

[In fact, there is still a little room for improvement. If JDG had not lost to T1 in the group stage, we might not be in the same half as WE]

[Indeed, if T1 can be in the same half as WE, God K will take action in advance. Why do I feel that all four teams have a chance to enter the semifinals! ]

[Of course there is a chance. The strength distribution in this draw is very even. JDG can beat Samsung, and LNG can beat JDG. This means that LNG and T1 should have a 5.5- chance at least! ]

[But I'm not saying this, WBG's luck is unmatched, all the draws from the beginning to the end were incredibly good, they were guaranteed to make it to the semi-finals! ]

[DK went to smash Captain Qingting's temple, and ran into WBG who came to pay their respects! WBG was so anxious that he pointed to the sky and shouted: "First, never act on impulse!"]

Based on WBG's performance in the group stage, it cannot be said that they are sure to win against the other three Korean teams. Even WBG fans are well aware of this.

It is indeed a good fortune to be able to draw the only European team among the top eight.

Obviously, LPL fans seem to be quite satisfied with this grouping.

But when Cheng Ming saw the draw result which had not changed much.

Suddenly, a strange idea came to my mind.

Everyone thought he was Captain Dragonfly and never considered that he might be Doctor Strange. The answer was found in the results of that year.

After all, if T1 had drawn GEN.G in the quarterfinals, the result might have been hard to predict.
On November 2023, 11, the first day of the quarterfinals begins.

WE vs. KT.

The No. 1 seed faces the No. 3 seed, and this is undoubtedly the strongest team in history, breaking the "No. 1 seed curse" for two consecutive years.

What's more, when KT's jungler Cuzz saw that ID, his legs started to go weak unconsciously as he thought of the person with bad memories.

Obviously, this is a duel without suspense.

"Congratulations to WE! For becoming the first team to reach the semi-finals!"

"They continue to run on their golden road, just like the theme song of this year's S game. This is a road to becoming a god!"

It was no surprise that WE was the first to reach the semi-finals.

But the subsequent games were full of surprises for other spectators.

JDG played against GEN.G and also won the semi-finals with a score of 3 to 2.

Of course, everyone is optimistic about JDG. After all, they have already defeated the opponent once in this year's MSI.

What's more, the GEN.G team is famous for its "anti-T1 tank weapons" and is ridiculed as only being able to play against T1.

However, in the third game, WBG played against NGR.

This should have been the scene with the least suspense, but it turned out to be surprising.

[Okay, okay, after killing the enemy, you took up all the team's economy, and then you bought a Clockwork with Goddess's Tear + Golden Body + Banshee's Veil. Damn, you are worthy of it! ]

[My evaluation of being able to give a European mid-lane a 25-level killing book is: "Imitating a professional player"]

[My review is: "Paramecium can perform simple biological activities"]

[It's not as advanced as a paramecium. To be honest, it's a little more evolved in the third game, so it's an earthworm.]

[This is the evolution of the tiger, right? What's the next step? Successful evolution to Decepticon, failed evolution to Haki Tiger? ]

Due to his incredible performance, even though the game ended 3-0 due to the overall strength gap, Xiaohu was still ridiculed by netizens.

It is hard to believe that in a 5-6 match, a person's Hupu score can only average - points.
Of course, netizens themselves did not count too much on WBG.

When the third quarter-final match ended, it was clear that there was something more worthy of attention.

When the entire LPL realized this, they had already started screaming and cheering in advance, and they just wanted champagne to cover the floor!

[It’s OK as long as I win! It’s OK as long as I win! ]

[Brothers, didn’t you notice? We are going to have a civil war! Now there are three LPL teams in the top four! No matter what the result this year is, we have already made history! ]

[Gold is forged through hard work! Live up to expectations! The era of LPL is finally here! 】

[Now it's up to LNG. As long as they beat T1, the world championship history will witness the first time that four teams from the same region will truly gather together to dominate the top four! ]

[Judging from the performance, there is definitely a chance! Come on Li Ning! You can definitely do it!!]

[I declare that as long as we can win! The whole class will be transformed into a family class! ]

At this moment, not only the audience, but also the major professional teams were extremely excited.

Even the members of WE sat in front of the screen to watch on time. Even though some of them were not likable, they still cheered for LNG with all their strength at this moment and looked forward to the arrival of the grand event of that region.

Only Cheng Ming could barely suppress the corners of his mouth and not reveal any expression that would ruin the atmosphere.

Because only he knows.

The big one is coming.
"Abin, please order a takeaway for me. I want a large portion of rice."
