【140】Play-in starts
"Hello everyone, I am Xiaoyu. The happy National Day holiday is finally coming, and the World Championship is about to start. The lottery ceremony of the World Championship was finally released last week, so after a month of pigeons, we urgently made this program."
In an ordinary college dormitory, there was a video program called "Xiaoyu E-sports Inventory" played on the computer, and the unique female commentator's voice echoed in the dormitory.
"First, let me repeat the results of the group lottery."
"There is the No. 1 seed of LEC (European Division) YES, our LPL's No. 2 seed Guci, and the No. 3 seed of LCK's No. 3 seed GKT;"
"The B group is the No. 1 seed of LCK, Ichthyosaurs, and Latin American SBC team;"
"The C group is TL, North America's second-seeded ATM, and TPA;"
"Group D is the No. 1 seed CLG of the LCS (North American Division), the No. 2 seed of South Korea Crane, and BGM, all of us have old acquaintances;"
"Let's analyze the finalists first, and then talk about the group stage."
"The rules of the finalists this year have been adjusted. Ten teams are divided into two groups. The first group is to advance directly, and then the second and third groups are to play the knockout round to compete for the last two group stage places."
"The team that was shortlisted in our competition area is the NT team of the Heaven-Defying Team. The five games of the playoffs are all full, and the son of destiny belongs to it..."
"According to the rules of avoiding the same area in the group stage, assuming that NT can enter the group stage, it will definitely enter Group D. This cannot be said to be the group of death, this is hell mode!"
Remember http://m.\net in one second
"Let's introduce the members of Group D, who are also the opponents of NT who want to qualify in the group. CLG is a veteran team and a regular player in the world. However, in previous years, they have been named No. 2 and No. 3 seeds. The last card in North America has gone through several reorganizations and finally returned to the peak again. In the summer final, they beat the Civil War ATM to win the championship again."
"Looking at CLG's world track, six World Championships, four times qualifying for the group, it's a perfect match for LCS!"
"Then Crane, the former champion of LCK, the champion of the Chaohe team, the two-time S Championship, is second only to STR, LCK Spring Championship in League of Legends history, and this year's MSI champion. Everyone is already familiar with their mid laner's glory of 'recast LCK'."
"The end is BGM, who is also our old friend, last year's world runner-up and this year's LEC spring championship, and many players are familiar with everyone."
"Just these three teams are enough to turn Group D into Group D of Death. Now there is another NT... I can only say that if NT wants to qualify in the group, it can only be as amazing as their names."
"So it's no wonder that after the lottery results came out, there was a wailing in the NT room, which is completely understandable."
"The pressure on TL and Irregular in Group C and Group A are not too high, just play steadily, but Irregular is still a bit stressful when facing the Great Demon who has lived out the fourth generation to get the first qualifying in the group. An Chengye is really too fierce in the playoffs, and he won the No. 1 seed of LCK with four real eyes. I have to say that the Great Demon is still the Great Demon."
"The ancient words in Group A are also a bit difficult. YES's No. 1 seed in Europe this year is obvious to all. GDK is also the champion of the S game. LCK's three world champion teams are all gathered, which is also a major highlight of this year's World Championship."
"Of course I also need to mention the fourth seed of LCK, Xiao Baicai (XBC), who was shortlisted with NT, is in the same group. It is also interesting to see who can get the qualification to directly advance to the group stage..."
This dubbing commentator named "Xiaoyu" did not leave the country, and soon analyzed the situation of the four groups and group matches.
Her video seems to be very popular, with dense barrage. At first, there were some people who urged and conquered, but then they gradually became a discussion of the World Championship.
"Even if NT enters the group stage, it will be considered successful."
"Irregular is also a world champion, and I can still compete with STR."
"I feel like the LCK team is quite strong this year."
"The three quarter-finals are also good, can be accepted"
"The key is the semi-finals"
"Don't have any hope for TL"
"NT is really miserable. It's so difficult to enter the World Championship, but it ends up being the beginning of hell again."
...
After the group analysis of the group stage, the video was not yet halfway through, and the video production team was very well-informed, and then began to tease the interesting stories of the World Championship players during the preparation period.
On the one hand, LPL belongs to its own family, and on the other hand, LPL players don’t have much work, so they mainly joke about the outside competition area, which makes the barrage laughter and joy.
Of course, it finally returned to LPL.
"It's pretty early for our four teams to go to Iceland this year. I heard they are still training together, but every year when we go to the world, our players have a big problem, which is diet."
"I haven't been to Iceland before, but I checked it online and there are still Chinese restaurants, but very few of them. I see them all with noodles and cooked dishes, but I guess they are a bit far from the hotel."
“So guess how the dietary problem is solved?”
"By the way to say that the NT summer season is a complete transformation, the spring season is difficult to make a name for itself. Not only did it enter the playoffs in the summer season, but it also entered the World Championship. Such a big change is certainly inseparable from the adjustment of the players, but it costs money to buy the adjustment of the players!"
"How did NT solve this problem?"
"It's very simple, the boss has changed!"
"This time, according to a staff member of the Yulong Team, the dietary problem was solved by the mysterious and magical new boss of NT... Guess how it solved it?"
"The answer is that the boss called and airlifted two chefs from China, then rented a house near the hotel arranged by the organizer, and converted it into a temporary Chinese restaurant. It was not open to the public, so he cooked for LPL team members and staff... What a good guy! The money ability is yes!"
The barrage was immediately filled with a screen of "dummy" and "666" wonders.
"The so-called soft-hearted people, I look forward to the subsequent knockout stage. Otherwise, if any team meets NT, can they still make ruthless moves? I doubt it..."
"Don't worry, NT can't enter the knockout round"
"This boss understands very much."
"This wave of NT bosses are in the atmosphere"
"NT: In order not to make things difficult for everyone, we will go home after completing the task in the top 16."
...
Continue to tease on the barrage.
"Not long after the qualifying match was finished, someone broke the news online that the NT training match was so powerful that Xiaofeng broke through TL, Guci, all the top laners of Yulong, but as soon as he arrived in Iceland, he started playing ranks. Good guy, this is too fierce in the training match. Are you relaxing in the running ranking?"
"As soon as I arrived in Iceland, I started playing top laner Vayne. After all, there are examples of Lucian and Carlista ahead. I am quite looking forward to it. As a result, when I see the record, 1-7, 2-9, 0-6... I have definitely changed from a top laner against the sky to a top laner with cerebral palsy!"
"BGM's mid laner is probably more destined to be destined to be with Xiaofeng's teammates for three consecutive games. Xiaofeng did not disappoint the expectation and got three consecutive games. He cheated three times and couldn't hold it on the spot. He tweeted that if NT entered the group stage, he would definitely be the first to win over Vayne for NT's teammates. He understood this pain very much..."
"But if the rankings are crazy, it can be exchanged for the crazy kills in the game, that's quite a good deal... I'll look forward to being a finalist."
...
As the National Day holiday begins, there are many tourist attractions in China, and many people take the initiative to stay at home, too lazy to go out and crowd, and enjoy a rare life without competing.
Of course, there are also many LOL enthusiasts waiting for the start of the World Championship.
As the National Day holiday comes to an end, on October 5, the finalists finally started.
The first game is the highlight, and it can be regarded as one of the few games that are highly anticipated by everyone and believe that the quality is relatively high in the finals.
LPL No. 4 seed NT faces LCK No. 4 seed XBC!
This is not only a match between the two teams, but also a showdown between the two divisions from an incomplete angle.
Although both of them are not the highest level in the same competition area, they can represent this competition area to enter the World Championship. The performance of the showdown between these two teams will undoubtedly affect everyone's judgment of the overall strength of the two competition areas.
Because I was in the same group in the finals, and it was a single cycle of Bo1, I had no chance of revenge if I lost. Winning and losing are very important, and tactics are also very important.
Before the game, NT had not played training matches with XBC. Both sides wanted to hide tactics to avoid the other party being too familiar with them, but at the same time they were also trying to find out what to do about the other party.
Especially XBC, because not only LPL teams say that the NT training match is invincible, LCK is not in Group D, STR and GKT have also said that the NT training match is quite strong.
Of course, both teams won when facing NT, which prevented XBC from losing confidence before the game started.
In the training matches against the same division, XBC almost never won, so the teams in the same division were a little disgusted with XBC, and the training matches between each other were significantly reduced.
If NT can kill GKT or even STR, how can I fight?
Of course, no matter what, the winner can only be decided on the court. Even if NT is really invincible in the training game, there is a possibility of going home directly at the top 16 on the court.
As for the finalists, it is more difficult to go home. For the two divisions of China and South Korea, if they really go home, they will really be nailed to the pillar of shame and be criticized to death.
It’s not that the audience’s requirements are too harsh, but that the strength is here, and there is no such reason to be eliminated hasty.
The topic is back - everything is possible. If you really enter the finals, you will fall down. No matter how much you scold or scold, even if you really go home, you will not change the facts.
It is winter in Iceland, and Lintang and others are wearing down jackets, which are wrapped warmly and firmly so as not to affect the game operation. There is heating when you arrive in the venue, and it will be too warm to affect your mental state and easily get sleepy. Then they take off the down jacket outside, revealing the team uniform jacket you are wearing inside.
Before the game started, the director cut the camera to the player's backstage as usual, and it was obvious that the players on the NT side were in a relatively relaxed state.
"The players on the NT side still look relatively relaxed..."
For the finalists and group stage commentators are all commented in China and not on site. If you want to understand the players’ situation, you must go through the Internet. Only after entering the knockout round will you build commentary stations for other competition areas on site (there is an impact on the epidemic in reality).
The two commentators only saw the NT players through the director's camera, and smiled and said, "It is said that I saw it online, and it seems that the NT training match is quite strong. Maybe it is because of this reason, and it looks very confident."
"Yes."
Chapter completed!
