LOL: Seventeen, No. 1 in the World

Chapter 378: Burn your boats and face death!

The qualifying round is over and the official promotional video is over.

All that awaits us now is the group stage.

This is what we usually call the top sixteen!
The teams that have made it to this point are all top teams from all major regions. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a gathering of strong teams.

But after all, it is a world championship, so it is normal that everyone finds it difficult to display their strength in their home region.

Some teams just look weak, but they are not that weak actually.

Many teams are full of tricks in training matches.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take last year’s IG as an example, Chen You played a training match for Xihuang Dashenzi, which made many professional teams think that Chen You’s peak was over.

As a result, when Chen You came on stage, he immediately amazed everyone with his skills.

For the championship, people are not as open-minded as imagined.

It’s already S8, no one really thinks that the World Championship starts with the main competition.

From the moment they secure their place in the World Championship, all teams become enemies.

Including finding a venue!
The siege and blockade of the competition area server.

The training match was deliberately designed to confuse the opponent.

There may even be public opinion attacking the contestants and affecting their mentality.

Some teams will even make an agreement to prevent some teams with poor autonomy from misunderstanding the version.

A team that can truly win the championship must be confident, have a deep understanding of itself and the version, and not change easily.

Sometimes, being wrong is much better than making temporary changes.

赛场如战场.

Soon, the draw came.

LOL PARK scene in Seoul, South Korea.

Countless audiences shouted the names of each team and those top-tier star players.

The scene was extremely spectacular.

"You!!"

"You!!"

The loudest sound is still You.

Although the majority of the audience at the scene were Koreans, there were too many star players on the LCK teams and they were easily dispersed.

As for Chen You, because his achievements this year are too dazzling, coupled with the hype of the official promotional video some time ago, he is now incredibly popular.

Winning five titles in one year and winning this year's S-League championship, Chen You is a super Grand Slam player.

Never underestimate the number of champion fans, and only champions are the most reliable.

The character's image can be ruined.

But champions live forever.

LCK officially invited player Faker to be the lucky draw guest this year, which can be regarded as another way for Faker to participate in this World Championship.

Faker is still the same, serious and expressionless, as if the losses in the playoffs and qualifiers have no effect on him at all.

"Faker!!"

"Faker!"

As the big devil of LOL, Faker has shown his full strength with just one appearance.

The best thing about Faker as the guest of the lucky draw is that he is not pretentious and does not stir up the audience's emotions. He just draws the team and shows it to everyone directly.

Crisp and neat.

The group stage schedule was written on the big screen at an extremely fast speed.

Group A: RW, FNC, AFS, GRX.

Group B: DWG, FPX, G2, 100T.

Group C: IG, KT, TL, VIT.

Group D: C9, MAD, FW, PVB.

FNC Lounge.

Ou Cheng: "Why were we assigned here? RW will definitely have a spot in the quarterfinals, and AFS is also very strong. It's the group of death." The handsome and dandy Rekkles also felt sad at this moment.

It is too difficult to break out of Group A.

DWG analysis room.

Showmaker: "The same half, right? If so, one team will definitely not make it to the finals. That would be interesting!"

FPX Lounge.

Doinb: "Oh my god! DWG!! RW!!! They are all in our half, these two monsters! And G2! If we want to advance to the semifinals, it would be best if we get first place in the group!"

Many LPL fans also began to worry about the LPL teams.

"FPX is so miserable. They are in a real death group. If they were placed in the lower half, they would still have a chance to advance to the semi-finals."

"IG is having a hard time too, damn! KT and TL are both strong teams, it's hard to beat them, but for IG, as long as they advance to the quarterfinals, they still have a great chance of making it to the finals."

"Unfortunately, FPX has bad luck. If they were placed in Group D, they would have no problem advancing to the semi-finals."

"Brothers, I think this group is good! Don't DWG and RW have the potential to win the championship? One of them will definitely be eliminated in the semi-finals."

"."

Except for RW, almost every team has people who are worried.

However, no one was worried about whether the RW team could advance to the quarterfinals, because in everyone's expectations, the RW team was not aiming for advancement at all.

What they want is a championship.

Even though Group A is very strong, everyone feels that AFS and FNC pose no threat to RW.

Who can compete with us? It would be a laughing stock if we lose in the group stage.

Finally, as time passed, the opening match of the group stage began.

After all, as the organizer of LCK, the two teams in the opening game are DWG and FPX.

For the LCK side, the goal is to boost the morale of the local audience through the first battle, while at the same time reducing the prestige of the LPL region.

After all, the No. 1 seed of LCK against the No. 3 seed of LPL, isn’t that a sure win?
The first match between the two major divisions was quite exciting.

However, the LPL audience did not have particularly high expectations for the FPX team.

The number three seed is there to run as a runner-up.

In the prediction for this game, all LPL commentators believe that DWG will beat FPX.

FPX training base.

Doinb: "It doesn't matter if everyone doesn't think highly of us. We have to think highly of ourselves. You all saw that if we advance as the second seed, we will play against FPX in the quarterfinals. I personally think that playing against DWG is easier than playing against RW. What do you think?"

Doinb's position in the FPX team is similar to that of Chen You in the RW team. Both teams are formed with them as the core.

With Doinb around, the coach can only listen.

Doinb has made an indispensable contribution to FPX's current position. After one game after another, Doinb has already consolidated his position.

LWX: "Just tell me how to fight. I'll do as you say."

Crisp: "You're going to fight them to death right away?"

Doinb smiled bitterly, "We can only play for our lives! Don't you see our opponents? If we advance as the first in the group, we will most likely play against FPX. If we advance as the second in the group, we will also face RW! To be honest, I have no confidence at all if I meet God. This is the first time for everyone to enter the World Championship, so we just need to perform well and prove ourselves."

"We need to keep this configuration in good working order for another year before we can achieve S9!"

Yes, nearly a month of precipitation.

FPX now decides to fight for their life right from the start.

Because they know that if they don’t seize the opportunity, they will have to return to LPL.

Are you going to keep the reserve tactics to gather dust?
Doinb understands the game and the audience very well. What everyone is most looking forward to is RW winning the championship, followed by IG. Not many people are optimistic about them at all.

Therefore, Doinb’s task for himself is to try his best and play with all his might.

I would rather die standing than kneeling!
In this world championship, he wants everyone to remember the name Doinb.

Burn your boats and face death!

This is also what Doinb thought of. It is the only chance that he could have to break through the RW team.

As long as you win,
momentum,

It will elevate the FPX team as a whole!
