League of Legends Nirvana Journey

Chapter 275: The quarterfinals are coming!
With the end of the 2-minute fierce battle between G52 and GRF, the group stage of this S9 is finally over, and the list of the quarterfinals is also born:

RNG, DWG, FPX, TL, SKT, IG, G2, GRF!

These eight teams will start a more intense and exciting quarter-finals in the next game!

LPL fans are basically satisfied with the performance of the three teams representing LPL in the group stage. The main reason is that all three LPL teams have qualified, and the two teams are still the first in the group. Among them, the number of fans is the largest. The RNG also showed unparalleled dominance, qualifying with a record of victory.

As for IG, whose number of fans is also very scary, except for some "fans" with more extreme views who are making trouble, the vast majority of IG fans are still satisfied. After that, even though they still lost in the last match, they still qualified.

And at least the loss was not ugly at all. In that game, I really can't say that IG played badly. It can only be said that the opponent SKT was better.

Anyway, the vast majority of IG fans are quite satisfied. After all, the gap between King Ning's appearance and before and after is too big. Even if the current IG is not so perfect, for IG fans, they are barely satisfied.

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

With the end of the group stage, the draw for the quarterfinals is coming soon!
Although most of the top eight teams have opponents that they don't want to meet, they began to have various worries about the draw of the top eight, for fear that they would draw such difficult opponents, but for this situation, RNG's side They seem to be very independent, they don't have any worry and tension atmosphere, against the chilling atmosphere of many teams, the atmosphere of RNG is particularly relaxed and comfortable.

This is actually understandable. This is definitely not due to the expansion of RNG's players or any other reason. Everyone knows that the opponents in this World Championship, whether they are domestic or foreign, are basically very difficult. With a complete victory in the group stage, they are not worthy of inflation or pride!
After all, he hasn't met those top teams yet, has he?

A rookie team that abused an LCK team means nothing!

In this case, why can they maintain their original state and train normally without any anxiety in an atmosphere where many teams are anxious?
That's mainly because their goal is the championship after all, and no matter how tough the opponent is, they need to face it.

Before entering the World Championship, RNG's coaching staff and RNG players simulated all possible opponents they might encounter and the corresponding countermeasures. This is what a team that wants to win the championship looks like!
Of course, if it is necessary to say that RNG does not want to meet a certain opponent in the quarterfinals, if they are asked to vote within the team, the answer should be obvious. The team they least want to meet must be IG!

Although I have fought many games against IG, and won many times, the RNG players except Ye Qing basically don't want to fight IG, after all, IG's personal strength is too strong.

Although IG has almost no tactical reserves due to the series of blows they suffered before, their personal strength is still their biggest patron saint, and it is also the biggest reason why they are called a top team!
At this stage, IG can really be said to be the team with the worst background. The adjustment ability in the game is basically zero. There are only a few tactics and routines that can be barely used.

But their extremely tyrannical personal strength has already been determined. Even if they don't have tactics, they are still the most difficult team to deal with at this stage!

To put it simply, they are now like a weakened version of One Punch Man, with almost top-notch attack power, speed, and defense power, but without any skills and kung fu.

Other teams can rely on tactical things to turn IG around, but as long as IG's opponents show any flaws, IG can seize the opportunity and directly fight back all the previous disadvantages!
In their own words, that is:

"We can make mistakes, but the opponent cannot make mistakes."

To give a vivid example, IG is like a traditional top lane warrior hero, while IG's opponents are like black technology top lane ice. They can rely on the length of their hands and Ashe's skills to slow down A. As a result, the fighter's top laner is suspicious of life, but as long as IG, the fighter's top laner, has a chance, he can take away this crispy shooter with no displacement!

Just like the game they won against SKT before, even though SKT had all the advantages they could get by relying on extreme operations and resource exchange in the early and mid-term, they were caught by IG in the later stage After a wave of opportunities, the whole game turned into a big fight, and was finally won by IG, who was very familiar with the rhythm of the big fight.

That game was a very classic IG-style comeback. Although RNG's personal strength is also very top-notch, this will prevent them from being as difficult as other teams when they encounter IG's side, and the fault tolerance rate is so low. The rhythm of the chaos is in, and they can still win IG in the chaos.

But as long as they are not careful, they may still be taken away by IG's set, which is completely unreasonable!
The feeling of fighting against such an opponent is indeed too uncomfortable. You must concentrate all the time to avoid any flaws being caught by IG. It is really tiring to fight like this!

RNG's opponents are not stupid, so they don't want to fight IG. Even if the audience thinks that RNG restrains IG, the RNG gang still don't want to meet IG, because every time they meet, they won't be surprised. But the process is not so pleasant.

Of course, RNG does not want to meet IG and also does not want a civil war. After all, in the World Championship, before the finals, it is better not to meet the teams in their own division as much as possible.

But if they did meet, RNG would definitely not hesitate. After all, IG had never won against RNG before. The only time it won was when Ye Qing and Uzi were both absent, and at that time The state of IG is still at its peak!
But the situation is different now. This time, not only Ye Qing and Uzi are here for RNG, but Xiaohu, who is the starter, is also at his peak. The morale of the entire RNG team is also completely full!

IG is recovering from a serious illness. Although they have recovered now, and the morale of the whole team is very high, but in terms of the state and strength of the team, the current IG and their state in the spring finals are absolutely incompatible. on a par.

In this context, it is true that RNG met IG, but they just didn't want to fight with them...Except for Ye Qing, this guy is only pursuing higher challenges, just want to fight with IG, and then in the later stage of the group In the battle, it is up to which side's operation is more extreme.

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

Under the anxious eyes of many players, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of this S9 finally came.

Under the lottery of European guests, the top eight groups were finally presented in the eyes of many professional players, commentators, and audiences:
Top half of the Quarterfinals:
The first game is the match between RNG and GRF. After RNG solves DWG, the No. [-] seed of LCK, they will face the No. [-] seed of LCK. !

Compared with the last time in the group match between China and South Korea, RNG is about to face more talent this time, and the quality is also very good. Can they maintain their dominance when facing DWG? Woolen cloth?

At the same time, how will the four Tongtian generations on the GRF side perform in front of RNG? What kind of performance will Chovy, a talented boy in the Korean League, face Reaper or Xiaohu?
These are topics that Chinese and Korean audiences are very concerned about, and the answers to these questions will be revealed in this quarter-finals!
The other group that also played in the upper half is SKT and TL. This game is generally considered to be without any suspense. If there is no accident, if RNG wins GRF, SKT and RNG will meet again in the semi-finals!
If this scene really appears, it will really be the fetters of the China-Korea LOL competition.

And what's more interesting is that if SKT wins RNG, then SKT will continue their undefeated tradition of facing RNG in the World Championship. Doesn't Brother Li just dream of going back to S7 in this wave?

If RNG wins SKT, then they will not only complete their revenge against SKT, breaking RNG's record of no wins against SKT during the World Championship, the most important thing is that they can also complete the match against the three LCK teams this time Sanctions in turn!
The third seed DWG (group stage), the second seed GRF (final eight), the first seed SKT (four finals)!
If RNG can really go that far, this incident will greatly ease LPL's fear of Korea.

Of course, why didn't they disappear directly, but got great relief? That's because some people have been kneeling for too long, and they have completely forgotten how to stand up. Can't get up.

There are always people who support the backbone of the nation, which is admirable, but there will always be people who will turn into the excrement of the nation and make people laugh!
......................................................

The games in the lower half are the same as the games in the upper half, and they are full of fetters:

The first is the double G battle between IG and G2. G2 can be said to have been hammered by the super peak IG in this year's MSI, and now is the best chance for revenge. IG in this world championship can be said to be the most recent IG's weakest time in the world championship!

And G2 is just the opposite. They can be said to be the strongest version of G2 in recent years. If they really want revenge, this quarter-finals is really the best opportunity for G2!
After the weakest team in the LPL and the strongest team in the LEC at this stage, there is another China-Korea matchup. This time, the champion of the LPL Summer Split will face the third seed of the LCK, FPXvSDWG.

I don’t know why, the audience’s confidence in this game is not enough, and they all feel that FPX is very likely to be overthrown by DWG, even though DWG has just been overthrown by the second seed RNG, and they lost badly. The kind that exploded!
This may be the sequelae of domestic audiences kneeling in front of South Korea for too long. Of course, FPX's unstable state, and the performance of stretching in the first round of the group stage must also be one of the factors.

This also includes the inherent prejudice of some viewers towards the FPX team. They just feel that this team without a super giant is unstable, even if they have won the Summer Split championship!
But for FPX themselves, DWG is definitely the best opponent. Although the strength of DWG is indeed not to be underestimated, compared with IG and GRF, it is indeed a little worse. As for the second TL in the recognized weakest group , that is the same team as FPX.

According to the regulations, the first and second places in the group stage will be divided into two different halves. That is to say, if FPX wants to meet TL, they can only meet each other in the final.

For this grouping, no matter what the fans think, anyway, the domestic professional players are comfortable, at least before the semi-finals, there will be no civil wars in the LPL!
