Alliance: My Qinggang Shadow made my alma mater famous

Chapter 418 [The top eight are out! 】

It is undoubtedly a heavy hammer for Samsung to be eliminated in the top [-] at home in their own country.

What's even more uncomfortable is that this is the second time in a year that they were defeated by YM in a key battle.

It seemed that Su Chen was a catastrophe for the Samsung team.

Most of the fans in the Busan venue were Korean spectators. Seeing Samsung GenG being eliminated from the World Championship in such a way, it was hard to accept for a while.

This is the first LCK team to be eliminated in the group stage so far in the S game, and it is also their second seed.

The words of the Roaring Emperor at the opening ceremony echoed in the hearts of some people.

History is constantly moving forward, and the dominance of the LCK seems to have really loosened!

On the player's bench, Zhang Xiaowen was still at a loss, completely unaware of the fact that his opponent had already been eliminated.

"Isn't there still one more match in the group stage? Why are the opponents eliminated?" he asked.

The left hand patiently explained:
"Today, after G2 beat TSM, they have won three games. Even if Samsung wins TSM tomorrow, they only have two wins. They are not qualified for a PK playoff with G2. That's why we say this is their life and death. war."

"It's really a bit uncomfortable to be out in the top sixteen." Xiaotian looked at the other side of the stage, the decadent expressions of everyone in Samsung, and couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Every team that came to Busan also fought hard in their own competition area for a year before they got a ticket.

No one wants to leave just like that, especially GenG who just won the S Championship last year.

But e-sports is so cruel, no matter how much effort you put in, no matter how firm your beliefs are in your heart.

The moment the crystal is broken, the outcome cannot be changed.

"Let's go, say goodbye to your opponent." Su Chen was used to such scenes.

He called his teammates together, said a polite farewell to the five members of GenG, and walked off the stage.

When everyone walked into the lounge from the aisle, PDD and Meng Ma took all the coaching staff members together to applaud the players.

"To reach the top eight, the first small goal has been completed, the brothers played beautifully!" PDD said cheerfully.

"There's another game tomorrow, Mr. whore, you're opening champagne at halftime." Xiaotian teased, holding the back of his head.

PDD waved his big hand, put his arms around Su Chen's neck and said with a smile: "With Brother Su here, I don't believe anyone can touch YM so much!"

Su Chen shook her head helplessly, not wanting to spoil PDD's interest.

For him, qualifying as the No. [-] seed and entering the quarterfinals is just the beginning.

The real test is yet to come.

However, PDD's confidence in Su Chen is not groundless.

After playing five B01s in the group stage, Su Chen won five MVPs, which is the top level in history in the previous S competition performances.

Even the Marin of S5 can't do this!
"The dust has settled for our Group D. The other groups are still playing in dire straits. The next two days should be very lively." Meng Ma adjusted the PPT and adjusted the schedule for the remaining two days of the group stage.

In the remaining three groups, apart from KT, which has won four consecutive victories and has secured the No. [-] seed, there are still variables in both groups A and B.

"RNG won't really qualify as the second seed," he stared at the schedule on the screen with his left hand, "If this is the case, the LPL civil war will start after the quarterfinals."

The basic rule of the quarterfinals is that the No. [-] seed is against the No. [-] seed.

All three LPL teams have entered the knockout round, and if RNG and IG are both the second seeds, the probability of YM bumping into each other is still very high.

"I hope they can play well, there is nothing they can do if they really bump into that." Su Chen shrugged and said indifferently.

After a short break, Group A's RNG and FW walked onto the stage.

After experiencing the big victory of YM in the last game, the commentators of LPL are also very confident in RNG's game.

"Although RNG was reversed by C9 in the first round, it was overturned when the economy was ahead of [-]. As long as the status of all members is online, RNG should be able to win steadily." Waowa said proudly.

Although both RNG and C9 had two wins and one loss in the first round, he has too much confidence in Uzi, and group A itself is the weakest competitive group. It is already a miracle that RNG can lose a game to C9 , how could it be possible to lose again.

Under the confident explanation of Wawa and Miller.

RNG finally took 38 minutes and gave the Flash Wolves a victory!
Objectively speaking, Flash Wolves played really well this round.

Especially in the upper and middle positions, Hanabi's crocodile and Maple's Zoe both played explosive performances.

But the biggest hero is Kasa's troll. The two failures of Xiaolong's punishment gave Flash Wolves a chance to delay the game.

In the key team battle, the pillar he set up blocked Xiaohu's position and gave Flash Wolves a chance to win.

After the game, everyone in RNG walked into the tunnel without saying a word, and on the other side was the expression of all members of the Flash Wolves celebrating excitedly.

"Unexpectedly, this game actually lost to Flash Wolves, so now C9 is one game ahead of RNG, ranking first in Group A." Miller said awkwardly.

Wawa was also very dissatisfied: "I think it's too strange that RNG lost these two games. It took nearly four or 10 minutes to decide the winner in each game. Also, I think that Xiangguo should be replaced. Now, in Casa’s state, I think I need to adjust.”

After the news of RNG's upset loss to Flash Wolves came back to China, there was also a fierce criticism meeting on the Internet.

[What is the pizza playing?Loyalty to serve the country is here? 】

[Upstairs pay attention to the quality, Casa is really fascinating, but no one talks about the output of Xiaohu's Ryze 8800? 】

[When I was overthrown by C9 in the last round, I remember some people said that they would just send a game to North America. Why are you in a hurry now? 】

[It’s also an LPL team, YM beat the MSI top four in Group D, IG also lost a hand to KT in Group C, I didn’t expect RNG to give the No. what! 】

[Laughing that Samsung was eliminated in the top [-], I thought that if GenG were in Group A, the top [-] might be replaced]

[Hey, I hope Gouzi can stand up in the next two games, I don’t want to see the LPL top eight and start a civil war]

……

In the anticipation of the audience in each competition area, the schedule of the last two days of the Busan group stage is also coming to an end.

In group D, in the end, YM and G2 won the No. [-] and No. [-] seeds respectively.

Because the result has been determined in advance, in the next two B01 small games, several teams played quite casually, and put on substitutes one after another to try out.

YM became the first team in the S8 World Championship to advance to the knockout round with all six victories.

But this result was actually two hours earlier than KT.

After easily defeating MAD, KT also entered the knockout round with a 6-0 record and the No. [-] seed.

In the same group, IG had a 4-2 record and got the second seed ticket.

Whether it is LCK or LPL, this result is still satisfactory.

Although the No. [-] seeds in the two major regions pulled their hips at the same time, on the scene, neither KT nor YM had a single defeat, and the LCK would not say that they had already lost.

After IG locked a ticket.

The pressure also came to RNG.

After losing to FW in the last game, they were criticized on the Internet.

After all, they were assigned to Group A with the easiest schedule, and failing to qualify as the No. [-] seed would be considered a failure.

After a night of adjustments, RNG has indeed regained its status. First, it used a crushing victory with zero PVB to boost the confidence of the audience.

Then he successfully revenged C9, and won after a wave of group destruction in 29 minutes.

Guan Zeyuan, the commentator for this match, couldn't help shouting: "This is the RNG team we are familiar with. They will occasionally make mistakes, but they will never trip over the same stone three times!"

However, even if they win C9, because the score is the same, and they all win each other.

Group A had an additional extra match to determine the No. [-] seed in the group.

Everyone in RNG stepped onto the stage confidently, but they didn't expect C9 to have a super rebound after losing a game to RNG first!

Carrying the hopes of the entire North American Division, Jian Huang took out his unique mid laner Enchantress, and with a record of 11-2-7, he led his team to victory in this extra match.

The royal fans in front of the screen saw a cerebral hemorrhage.

In this way, RNG, like IG, also advanced to the knockout round as the second seed.

The probability of a civil war in the top eight of the LPL is really great!
After the extra match in Group A.

There is only Group B left in Busan.

Probably stimulated by KT's unanimous victory and the warning of GenG returning home in the top [-], the African team AFS played particularly vigorously in the second round.

AFS won all three games, Kiin showed off two sword girls in a row, and the total KDA reached 14-2-9. The fiery state became the key to the team's victory.

On the other hand, FNC, who was in a stable state in the first round, also lost to 100T in a rare upset after being revenged by AFS.

But the lineup of FNC in this round is really strange. Caps took out the mid laner Verus experimentally, and Oucheng played Syndra in the bottom lane. The idea seems reasonable, but it still looks like a mess on the scene. .

Because of this defeat, FNC handed over their No. [-] seed status to AFS.

So far, the Busan group stage has finally come to an end.

The qualifying teams for the four groups are as follows:
Group A: C9, RNG
Group B: AFS, FNC
Group C: KT, IG
Group D: YM, G2
The night the game ended.

The water friends in each competition area are also excitedly discussing the next quarter-finals of the World Championship.

The North American audience was very excited. They had no expectations after watching TSM's top 9, but they suddenly discovered that C[-] had actually stolen the No. [-] seed.

In this way, at least in the first round, they can avoid encountering strong teams such as YM, KT, and AFS. If they encounter G2 and FNC, there is still hope for a fight.

As long as they can pass the first hurdle, who knows what will happen to the next four finalists?

Maybe KT and YM are both upset.

The North American audience started a beautiful fantasy.

On the other side of the European division, it is a collective prayer, hoping that they will not encounter YM or KT.

G2 and FNC's official blog continued to work, and took the initiative to post RNG and expressed the hope that the top four could meet, but they were ridiculed by royal fans on the Internet.

"Really think RNG is a soft persimmon? Anyone who offends my LRL will be punished no matter how far away!"

In China, the topic of most discussion is naturally the possibility of a civil war in the quarter-finals of the LPL.

The commentators from all walks of life blogged and prayed, hoping that the day after tomorrow's draw will be better, and try not to have a civil war in the quarterfinals.

In addition to the draw for the quarterfinals, the biggest topic tonight is naturally the former world champion GenG's elimination in the quarterfinals.

After the end of the Busan group stage, GenG's official Twitter also released a news.

Chidi, An Zhangmen, Khan and other three-star players, wearing slippers, walked the streets of Busan with desolate backs, announcing the end of this year's World Championship.

[It's too miserable, I really didn't expect that Samsung would not even make it to the quarterfinals this year]

[This is probably the benefit of hosting the World Championship at home. Other teams had to fly when they were eliminated, but GenG walked home directly, woo woo woo]

……

10 month 20 day.

In the Busan venue, under the attention of the whole world, the knockout round draw ceremony officially started!
The Roaring Emperor, who changed into a suit, came on stage again. After summarizing the group matches, he then introduced the representatives of each team in the draw ceremony.

"YM JKD!"

"RNG Uzi!"

"IG Rookie!"

Players wearing their respective team uniforms are arranged on both sides of the stage in order of ranking.

When the camera came to Su Chen, there was a commotion at the scene.

He played extremely well in this group stage and gained a group of new fans.

After the introduction of the Roaring Emperor, Wach, the guest of the draw for the knockout round, walked quickly to the glass basin with four balls with a smile on his face, and stretched his hand into it under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

The lottery rule for the quarter-finals knockout round is to divide the eight teams into two halves on the left and right, and draw lots in two rounds according to the principle of different areas in the same group.

In the first round, the No. [-] seed team will be drawn to determine the division, and in the second round, the No. [-] seed will be drawn.

Soon, Watch took out the first ball, and after taking it apart, the team name of "KT" was written on the note.

The camera also showed the player representative Deft, who didn't show any expression.

"The next lottery is the key. It determines whether YM will be in the same half as KT. I hope it won't be YM!" Miller prayed in the live broadcast.

Soon, Watch opened the note again, and there was a note with "AFS" written on it!

"Perfect! This lottery is really great! AFS went to the left half, so YM won't meet KT in the semi-finals, and RNG should also be locked in the left half." Wow excitedly clapped palm.

After YM and C9 are confirmed to be in the right half, RNG, who is also in Group A, can only go to the left half, so that they will not meet YM at least in the quarterfinals.

Absolutely good sign!
Next, Watch draws prizes again, this time it draws out YM's note.

The camera was shown to Su Chen, and YM was also assigned to the first place in the right half of the big screen behind him.

There is no suspense for the remaining C9, which is under the right half.

The first round of lottery decided that RNG would not meet YM, and the next round was to see if IG would meet YM.

Watch walked a few steps and came to the second lottery pool. After he grabbed a ball and took it apart, there was a note of G2 written on it!
Ah P, who was still smiling, froze in place for an instant.

This indicates that they will hit KT in the quarterfinals!

Immediately afterwards, the second one that came out was, RNG!

"Playing AFS? Although it's expected, it's okay." Miller reassured.

"The next lottery is very important, please don't be YM, please!" Doll stared at the screen.

When Watch showed the note in his hand again, the entire LPL audience was completely excited!
"He has drawn FNC! There will be no more civil wars in the LPL quarterfinals!" Miller was so happy that he almost jumped up.

The three LPL teams, still with two No. [-] seeds, actually avoided the quarter-finals civil war.

This is an absolute hit!
The remaining C9 was automatically assigned to IG.

"The only fly in the ointment is that if both YM and IG advance, they will meet in the semi-finals, but at least they will be locked in the finals." Hua Wa said critically.

But the occurrence of such a situation also shows that LPL has locked a spot in the finals, which is also a good thing.

In this way, the matchup of the entire quarterfinals was finally determined.

Left half: KT vs. G2, RNG vs. AFS
Right half: YM vs. FNC, C9 vs. IG
