You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 75: Whether you can win or not, you will know after you fight
A night passed and it was time for the second day of competition.

JDG got a bye today and will not play any game.

Ming Jing checked his phone as usual when he got up and saw that the momentum from LGD's loss last night had not completely dissipated.

The audience really couldn't understand what Kindred, with its health almost at the bottom, was looking at on the edge.

But this is only the first game. After all, GEN is a Korean team and a strong contender for first place in the group. It is understandable that they lost to them.

The audience did not rush to beat Peanut to death with a stick, but decided to wait and see.

But the fun started as soon as I saw it.

Because LGD lost again.

In the first game, LGD took the lead and faced FNC.

Compared to yesterday's fierce battle, today's battle seemed much cleaner and neater. At 20 minutes in, LGD had already achieved a dismal kill ratio of 8-15 and was 8,000 economically behind.

In the last team fight, FNC top laner Bwipo's Volibear was like a god of war. He entered the field alone and killed Xiaohuasheng's Graves before walking away, even with one-third of his health left!

After winning the team battle, FNC pushed down the LGD base in one wave, ending the game at 28 minutes and 11 seconds.

"Holy crap, we're already 0-2?" Zoom was scratching his head as he stared at the screen. "Is LGD going to be eliminated in the round of 16?"

"The probability of reaching the round of 16 is very high." Kanavi said frankly: "I saw that they were almost eliminated in the top five of the play-in round and had to make it in a tiebreak. It seems that their condition is not very good."

"Indeed." Everyone in JDG couldn't help but nod.

In terms of form, LGD is not much better than RNG last year, and the competition within the group is also fierce enough, with TSM, FNC, and a Korean team. The situation of qualifying is precarious.

Ming Jing was still looking down at the comments on his phone. Although the online comments were not optimistic about LGD's situation, the remarks were mostly made in a teasing manner, without any panic or anger.

This is normal, after all, LGD is only the fourth seed.

As an extra team this year, the audience didn't expect LGD to produce any results at all. It is completely possible to assume that LGD does not exist and just treat it as a match between three teams like in previous years!
As long as nothing goes wrong with the top three seeds, it'll be fine!
But LPL never disappoints in this regard.

After a game, TES team took the stage to face the second seed of North America, FLY.

LPL viewers didn't take the game seriously at first, thinking it was just an ordinary beating.

Even Ming Jing had little interest in this game. Since most teams were waiting to play and there were no training matches scheduled, Ming Jing even went to his class teacher Zheng Hu to ask for a few derivative problems, and locked himself in a hotel room to give them some guidance, in order to awaken his long-dormant mathematical thinking.

then
Top Brother started their performance.

369 and Karsa's top and jungle were neither good nor bad. Although the situation was slightly favorable, they were unable to break the deadlock.

Galio in the middle lane was caught badly by the opponent. He didn't dare to push the line at all. He used his ultimate skill many times to perform the [Hero Exit] and disappeared throughout the game.

JackeyLove was even more abnormal, he just kept giving away the ball, and in the first ten minutes he gave away two balls in a row, including the little dragon and a tower, and the opponent's jungle, which made the game soar!
This abstract battle situation made commentator Wang Duoduo anxious!

In the 32nd minute, TES suffered a crushing defeat to FLY with a 0-for-5 exchange, and the score was fixed at 1-1.

Topsports fans suddenly fell silent, and the anti-bar was as quiet as a library.
And it's far from over.

In the last game of the second day of competition, SN took the stage to face Europe's number one seed G2.

Both sides played passionately in this game. They fought back and forth but could not widen the gap. SN controlled the water dragon soul, but failed in the subsequent ancient dragon group and lost the crucial ancient dragon.

G2 relied on the Ancient Dragon buff to firmly control the Baron, and with a wave of advancement, they once pushed the line to SN's front teeth. But at this time, SN once again showed the upper limit of the LPL teamfight. After being behind by 5,000 gold and with the Baron buff, they actually won a 1 for 4!

The live broadcast room was filled with question marks. SN, who won the team battle, advanced rapidly and started a counterattack!
But in the end, they failed. The line of troops was too far from their own base to the opponent's base. When the line of troops passed, all G2 players had been resurrected.

The two sides started a final team battle, but SN had already used up all of their summoner skills and golden body stopwatch in the previous team battle, and was already at the end of their strength. This counterattack was just a desperate struggle.

In the end, G2 was the better team. After a three-for-five trade, they pushed forward with double CTP and counterattacked to push down SN's base.
On the second day of the group stage, LPL lost all three games.

A basin of cold water was mercilessly poured on the faces of all LPL viewers, waking everyone up from the sweet dreams of the first division.

There were six games in two match days, and LPL lost four of them, with a winning rate of only a pitiful 33%!

Is this the level the first division should have?
Seeing that the entire region was in decline, the resistance bar became active again.

What the hell is going on in the LPL? They can't even figure out how to play in the group stage?

[The current B teams are really funny. It was fine that they couldn't beat South Korea before, but now they can't even beat Europe and the United States? ]

[Investigate strictly! Especially investigate Topsports!]

[Hehe, you still have the nerve to criticize Topsports? I think you guys are all pretty much the same.]

[Looks like JD.com is still the most reliable one now? At least they didn't lose!]

[Forget it then. JD.com just didn't have a game today. I'll probably have the same problem tomorrow when they play DWG.]

"I see Xiao Fei himself said it's hard to beat DWG, so you still think JDG can win?"

I’m already looking forward to tomorrow’s game.

[That's enough. Seeing your master lose, you want the other team to lose too, right?]

[Does JD.com have the guts to win? It would be a miracle if they could!]

At this time, Ming Jing had just finished his homework and returned to the training room. He was about to go out for dinner with his teammates, but he was stunned when he saw the bleak results in front of him.

"What's going on between these three teams?" Ming Jing asked in confusion.

"Who knows?" Zoom said helplessly, "It puts a lot of pressure on us anyway."

It is not difficult to imagine how bad their public opinion will be if they lose to DWG tomorrow and LPL completes an unprecedented defeat.

It was clearly the other teams that lost the game, but in the end they had to bear the pressure. It was really frustrating.

But the point is, it’s really hard to win tomorrow!

The dismal record of one win and four losses in the training match against DWG is still vivid in my mind. In all the games we lost, we were suppressed from the beginning to the end, and we were completely breathless. The only game we won was due to the coordination errors of the opponent's mid and jungle, and the bottom lane also got a kill outside the line, which was a difficult victory!

The double pressure weighed on their shoulders, making all JDG players silent for a moment. Toothpaste, who could never stand the pressure, was the most uncomfortable one. He wanted to start fighting as soon as he sat on the chair.

A voice broke the silence.

"We won't know whether we can win until we fight!"

Ming Jing waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "Besides, it's not like we haven't won before."
