League of Legends Nirvana Journey

Chapter 251 The Group Match Begins

The period of the finalists for the S game was really boring for the audience. Not only did their own division not participate in it because of the strong dominance of the previous S game, but also the old rival LCK team did not overturn in the finalists. Even though Senior Colonel Guan has given DWG a sip, it is clear that Senior Colonel Guan's skills are not enough for DWG to overturn in the play-in competition.

As a result, domestic audiences have neither good-looking games to watch nor excitement to join in. Naturally, the time for the play-in competition is boring for them.

Although for the audience, this period of time seemed very long due to boredom, but for the professional players, this period of time seemed a bit too short.

The main reason is that the closer the competition time is, the more players feel that they are missing and have not done well.

This is a bit similar to the feeling students have before an exam. The closer the exam is, the more they feel they know nothing when reviewing.

These professional players are also in the same state. Now they feel that they have many heroes who have not practiced to the extent they expected, and there are many imperfections in the tactical system, so it can be said that they are in a mess now, and they can't wait to break it for a second. Use it in two seconds!
But it is a pity that no matter how rushed and compressed your time is, the time that should be used up will still be used up.

And the more you feel that time is important, the less time you will have.

The qualifying round for qualifying for the S competition ended quickly, and the group stage groupings were announced soon.

Group A: FPX, JT, TL, SPY
Group B: RNG, FNC, DWG, HKA
Group C: IG, SKT, C9, GAM
Group D: G2, GRF, AHQ, CG
This grouping... is pretty good for the three LPL teams.

First of all, if the FPX group is normal, it is basically for them to get out of the qualifying.

Secondly, in the RNG group, although there are many strong teams, there is a certain possibility for RNG to overturn, but in fact this possibility is not high.

The last is IG's side. Although SKT is on IG's side, if the goal is only to qualify, it is relatively simple, just need to beat C9.

Although for the current IG, defeating C9 is not necessarily something that can be achieved casually.

But now the state of IG is so bad that even C9 can't win, so there is really no need for them to qualify.

....................................

Under the anticipation of countless people, on the evening of October 10, the group stage of the S game finally started.

The game started in Group A. The first game started was the FPX game, which was the game between FPX and TL. For this game, most of the domestic audience who have been paying attention to the game are looking forward to it.

Anyone who has been paying attention to the game knows that although the FPX lineup does not look very good, its actual combat effectiveness is still worthy of recognition.

After all, they won RNG and won the summer championship!This cannot be denied, right?

If even this is not worthy of affirmation, it can only be said that the overall strength of LPL is not good.

In addition, the opponent is Big Brother, who has always performed poorly in the World Championship, and is a North American team, so LPL fans are quite confident about this battle.

But the fact slapped LPL fans hard, yes, the first game... FPX lost!

Although TL's strength and performance have greatly exceeded the audience's expectations, many "first year audiences" have learned that these so-called "European and American bullies" are not weeds that can be killed casually, they are also worthwhile. Adversaries to be studied and targeted.

But it is also true that the entire FPX team is in poor condition.

In fact, the state of most of FPX's players is not bad, although there will definitely be various psychological burdens and pressures due to entering the World Championship for the first time, which will lead to some fluctuations in strength and performance.

But these fluctuations are not big, at least not big enough to make them lose to TL.

This is not to say that you look down on TL or Big Brother. In fact, anyone who understands the game knows that TL is actually quite strong this season. It can be said that after so many years, Big Brother is the most promising team to enter the quarterfinals!

But compared with the peak FPX in the final state, it is really far behind!It's not a team of the same level at all!

But how did TL "leapfrog the challenge" to defeat FPX?In other words, why did the state of FPX decline sharply?
This still has to start with the players' status. As I said before, although the status of FPX's players has declined at different levels, most of them have not declined much.

Even Xiaotian may be because he won the championship. His current state can really be said to be very top. Throughout the game, he drove the rhythm of the three lanes in the early stage, and also opened a very bright team in the later stage. However, TL's desire to win is indeed enough, so in the end FPX still lost the game.

So where is the problem with FPX?

Regarding this question, Ye Qing and Xiaogou, who watched the whole game during the training match, discussed it like this:
"Actually, all teams are like this. As long as the core of the team does not perform so well, the team's performance will naturally decline. This is inevitable, but the core of the team on FPX is Nosuke, and the performance of the jungler is relatively good. Judgment, but whether the auxiliary performance is good or not, it’s really not easy to see if you don’t review the game carefully.”

The puppy nodded in agreement and said:

"In fact, this time Mr. Liu is indeed not in the same state as he was in the finals. Maybe he is a little uncomfortable when he first entered the World Championship. After all, everyone's adaptability to this thing is definitely different, and some players will indeed be slow to warm up. Some, I guess he will just get used to it. Maybe when we meet in the quarterfinals, semifinals or finals, it will be Liu Qingsong at his peak again..."

Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said calmly:

"There is definitely no chance of this happening. We can't encounter opponents who are in poor condition every time. This kind of luck..."

Ye Qing looked at the little fat man next to him with a teasing look, then sighed, as if he was talking to a puppy, but also as if he was talking to himself:

"You and I should not have this kind of luck. The honor can basically only be won by our own strength."

..............................

After FPX lost to TL in the first game, and JT won SPY in the second game, the match in Group A will come to an end tonight, and then there will be the match in Group C, including IG and SKT. I have to say, In a way, the LPL audience is quite happy today.

On the first night, there will be two games of our own team that are worth looking forward to, FPXvsTL, and the upcoming IGvsSKT.

But from another perspective, tonight's game is quite tortured for LPL audiences.

Because although there are two games for the LPL audience to watch, and the two matchups can be regarded as good-looking. All teams lost.

This led to a lot of scolding on the Internet after the game between IG and SKT.

In the previous game between FPX and TL, fans can also blame the FPX players for not adjusting their status in time and living up to the expectations of the fans.

But for the next game...it's really hard to blame IG, or it's hard to blame IG's other members except the jungler.

People who can really understand the game and people in the circle basically know the status of IG.

As for their opponent SKT, that is the top Korean team that just won the LCK championship. If IG and the others can defeat SKT in this state, it is really incredible, especially when King Ning has not yet played!
During this period of time, King Ning was acting as a substitute player, and IG's starting jungler was a player named Leyan.

This is the player who selected a wine barrel in this competition, and his performance was really amazing!

All kinds of random big moves, all kinds of empty E, even the E flash that can be said to be a must-hit in the barrel can be empty. In the early stage, he was completely played by SKT's jungler. His teamfight performance in the middle and late stages is also worthy of SKT The best sixth man, basically dies suddenly every time before the dragon is refreshed.

It can be called meat and eggs to satisfy one's hunger, making people not only wonder if a big anchor from Wuhu has landed in a different place!
Although the audience often couldn't figure out why the team lost the game, for example, they didn't figure out why FPX performed so poorly before, and they couldn't even beat TL, so they pointed out that when there was a wave of team battles because Lin Weixiang, who made a mistake in judgment and caused his sudden death, sputtered wildly.

But they are not fools, and the level of delivery like Leyan can still be seen, especially when a video of Theshy is released after the game.

The content of that video is also very simple, but Theshy looked at Leyan with scrutiny after the game, and this look seemed to say:
"What the hell is this jungler? Can he play like this? Is this really a professional player?"
