Chapter 32 [32] October 21, the war between pigs and dogs resumes

[PS: There was a small bug in the front, it has been corrected, it is basically the same, new grouping. Today’s third update, I apologize.]

The results of the draw caused an uproar online.

Not only domestic netizens are talking about it, but even netizens in the LCK region are making complaints and clamoring.

The special guest icon at the lottery ceremony even won:

The hand of punishment from the devil

Compared with the bustle of the e-sports environment, the three teams that will be the next protagonists seem to be silent before the war.

In addition to the fact that EDG’s official WeChat account posted a photo of team members having a dinner at the ‘Fei Fei Shrimp Shop’ on the day after the group stage ended.

The three teams seemed to have lost contact with the outside world.

On the Internet, there are only excerpts of interviews with the three teams at the end of the group stage that were repeatedly released by the media using various shock media, marketing interception and amplification methods.

Apart from this, no new information about the three teams could be found.

…………

Training hotel.

The group stage will end on the evening of October 15th, and the knockout rounds will be held from October 19th to October 22nd.

There is not much time left for each team to prepare.

On the morning of the 16th.

EDG members, coaches in charge of various aspects, and data analysts gathered together to prepare for a small meeting.

During the 2013 Spring Split, Riot officials made a basic rule that teams must have substitutes.

Generally speaking, substitute players are always on the bench.

No matter how talented he is, he receives little attention and has almost no chance to appear.

They don't live with the starting members of the team, and they don't even practice together.

He is a puppet who plays by the rules.

Of course, some wealthy clubs not only have many capable players themselves, but also have a large number of foreign players.

Hence the rotation system was born.

This allows the club to retain most of its outstanding members, and also protects players from fatigue due to playing too many times.

However, Qi Zhou's appearance was definitely an accident.

It has nothing to do with the rotation system.

However, his outstanding performance in the second round of the group stage successfully liberated him from the bench.

The management team decided to rotate Mouse and Qi Zhou in the next knockout round.

"In the second stage of the group stage, the game between G2 and FB lasted 52 minutes and was the longest game; the fastest was our game against C9, which only took 19 minutes and 52 seconds. , of course, this game is not very informative."

"Taking all the games together, the average game duration is 38 minutes and 45 seconds. This also means that the tone of the S game has not changed. The overall layout and using the lineup advantage to win the mid-to-late team battles are still the mainstream."

"Among them, the LZ team has the shortest average game time, less than 25 minutes. Of course, due to the grouping, we don't need to pay attention to them at the moment."

“The teams with the longest average game time, such as TSM, FW, and AHQ, have all been eliminated...”

Analysts will talk about pieces of information extracted from complicated game data to provide ideas for EDG's tactics in the next game.

The heroes with the highest BNA rates are Skateboard, Galio, and Prince.

The ones who have appeared the most are Lulu, Feng Nu, and Pig Girl.

It is worth mentioning that Lulu has played more games than Feng Nu because Feng Nu has been banned more often.

The powerful protective ability, the full E level is equivalent to a big sword, coupled with the abnormal properties of the blazing incense burner, making her almost versatile.

"Among the four elemental dragons, the Infernal Dragon was the worst and was killed 28 times, while the most despised Cloud Dragon was killed only 14 times..."

Although the meeting was small, it lasted for a full 2 ​​hours.

After lunch, everyone prepared to go to Tianhe Airport and board the flight to Guangzhou.

This made several team members very excited.

From Shanghai to Wuhan, they took the high-speed rail. The entire distance took only 3 hours and 31 minutes, but after sitting for a long time, their buttocks hurt.

If the plane is narrow, just be narrower, at least it will be faster.

Sitting on a black car with white EDG markings printed on the exterior, Qi Zhou focused on the water of East Lake...

Very green and transparent.

Green light all the way?

Guangzhou Stadium.

The knockout round uses a BO5 format, and the schedule is as follows:

October 19: LZ vs. SSG

October 20: SKT vs. MSF

October 21: RNG vs. EDG

October 22: WE vs. FNC

On the Internet, during the knockout draw ceremony, CuVee’s animated expression after learning that Samsung was going to play against Longzhu has become a classic.

Everyone is trying to figure out the profound meaning of "that smile" in the forum.

Since he is one of the few pure, simple, and free-spirited players in the LCK, most netizens agreed that this was a bitter smile.

However, the fact is:

On October 19, Samsung defeated Longzhu Team 3:0.

["Bitter Smile" or "Converged Smile"] made him cited online more often than the "Ghost Hands icon".

At the same time, it also sounded the alarm for several teams in the LPL division.

After the knockout round in Jiangcheng, Longzhu Team had countless labels on their heads:

"The only team to win all the group matches."

"The only No. 1 seed team to qualify."

"Qualify first in the group".

"Breaking the S event record".

"The strongest team in LCK"

He is the favorite to win the championship.

At the game site, Longzhu Team’s support was shot out, and the audience from the LPL even spontaneously cheered for Longzhu Team on this day.

Samsung's support reception area was once neglected, which was in sharp contrast to Longzhu's support reception area.

But no one expected that the result of the game was an upset, and Samsung defeated Longzhu in half!

Send fellow villagers back to their hometown in person.

On October 20, SKT faced MSF.

Little Rabbit Black Technology from North America appears frequently.

First, IgNar's robot power came and hooked SKTpeanut's jungle prince in the baron pit, helping the team win the baron and destroying SKT's operating system.

End the game quickly.

Then in the third game, the jungler Cuishen came out of the incense burner and assisted the Japanese girl's black technology.

SKT lost ground in team battles and were finally taken away in a wave.

Got the match point at 2:1.

Fortunately, SKT did a good job in the subsequent two banpick games, playing 5 games and barely winning.

Otherwise, the Rabbit Team will successfully kill the demon and advance to the top four.

…………

October 21st.

RNG vs. EDG.

The war between pigs and dogs has resumed, and public opinion is mixed.

At the game site, fans from both sides were evenly matched and ended up swallowing each other's throats.

On different online platforms, the number of people supporting support shows a one-sided trend.

The venue is crowded and the game will start at 16:00.
