Fierce shooter

The last day of the group stage.

The scene is still hot today.

The FNC team was able to defeat FPX in the LPL division in the first round of the group stage, which is undoubtedly a huge encouragement to European audiences.

The impressions of China and South Korea in the minds of European and American audiences are very different from the impressions of netizens in the LPL competition area of ​​the Korean team in the early years.

Even if FPX is only the third seed, FNC, as the second seed in the European division, can defeat them, which is enough to make them happy.

At the end of the first round, FNC held a 2/1 record and the qualifying pattern was quite clear.

No one would believe that FPX, which performed poorly in the first round, could triple kill the other three teams in the same group in the second round.

Therefore, FNC is the worst and can still qualify for the playoffs.

In the commentary box.

Wawa, Miller, and Guan Zeyuan were ready.

This is the strongest commentary lineup in the LPL division.

For FPX, heavyweight commentators have all moved in.

"I went to FPX's backstage lounge before I came to commentate today. I can see that they are still under a lot of psychological pressure."

Miller said with a solemn expression.

Although doinb was still chatting and laughing with him backstage, and the others were pretending to be relaxed, but from the fire boils on doinb's chin and the bloodshot eyes of others, it was not difficult to see the enthusiasm of everyone in FPX. The actual state is far worse than their apparent state.

"The pressure on them must be great. Although it was their turn to play on the last day of the second round, which gave them enough time to adjust, they watched helplessly as two brother teams advanced, and they were still the same. 6/0, the first place in the group advanced to the knockout rounds. As a member of the LPL, it would be false to say that they don’t care at all.”

Wawa also sighed from the side: "The most terrible thing is that they will face SKT in the first game today."

As soon as these words came out, Miller and Guan Zeyuan also fell silent.

According to their thinking, in fact, the best schedule for FPX is for them to play HKA, which they won in the previous round, and use the first game to find their status and warm up their hands.

In other words...find confidence.

In fact, if the organizers' original intentions were followed, the teams between the LPL and LCK would most likely be placed in the finale.

Now, it is at the forefront.

What does this mean? It shows that FPX's poor performance in the first round has not been taken seriously by everyone. In the eyes of those who arranged the schedule, even if FPX is a team in the LPL division, it is not enough to attract attention.

What really attracted attention was FNC's match against FPX. This game was moved to the penultimate game of the day, and the last game featured the least suspenseful SKT and HKA.

European viewers obviously also want to see FNC from their division succeed in taking over FPX.

This schedule arrangement undoubtedly exacerbates FPX's current predicament from another perspective.

Of course, if you lose, everything is an excuse.

Under the nervous gaze of countless fans in the LPL division and even fans of the FPX team, the showdown between SKT and FPX officially kicked off.

Inside the temporary base.

Seeing the BP between the two sides gradually emerge, Li Luo's eyes lit up slightly.

Regardless of the status of the players on the FPX team.

At least in the BP stage, they are not dead.

In the past, when LPL teams faced teams from the LCK division, the most criticized problem was that they were timid from the start in key rounds.

But FPX doesn't.

What they came up with is still something that breaks away from the shackles of the version and is unique to FPX.

The Thorn Birds have experienced this kind of thing in training games, so they know how powerful FPX's system is.

However, in the eyes of the audience from a God's perspective, FPX's style of play without results to verify is undoubtedly seeking death.

Doubts and insults abounded in the barrage forum.

And this kind of voice continues to expand as FPX gradually becomes disadvantaged in the situation.

SKT is very stable.

Their usual style of play in the World Championship is to use one lineup until they lose the game.

As long as you don't lose, keep using it.

Therefore, when they faced FPX, what they came up with was still a standard version system that was suitable for the current version, but was extremely boring.

However, SKT players' familiarity with this system is gradually increasing their chances of winning.

"They were too stable and made no mistakes at all, and FPX was indeed a little anxious when playing."

mlxg saw sofm's seriousness.

But because of this, he feels that this is not conducive to the situation of FPX.

sofm is a very strange player.

Whether it's a bad show or a very serious one, these two completely opposite extremes are not suitable for SofM's style of play.

When he performs at his best, it is precisely when Sofm is at his most comfortable, and what Sofm shows in this state is truly his own style of play.

This time, sofm is serious.

No posing.

But being serious, he actually made himself lose his spirituality, and some of his moves were accurately predicted by clid, which has a strong sense of rhythm.

37 minutes.

FPX played their longest game in this world championship.

But unfortunately, they lost.

"Let us congratulate SKT. Their winning streak continues... I can only say that such a SKT team is too strong. No team can stop them in the group stage."

Guan Zeyuan shook his head and sighed: "And after seeing that two of our teams have won the group stage, SKT will most likely want to get a 6/0 for the LCK division."

"You're right."

Miller nodded slightly: "But what can I say, there is still hope. As long as PFX can defeat the other two teams in the second round, it will still have a chance to qualify."

…

The discussions made by the three commentators all make sense.

It is indeed what they said. According to the momentum of the SKT team, 6/0 is a high probability event.

In that case, as long as FPX defeats FNC in the second round, both teams will have a 3/3 record and will need extra games to compete for the final qualifying spot.

But blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.

It seems that FPX's resistance in the last game inspired the FNC team.

When SKT almost copied and pasted the lineup they faced FPX on the table, FNC exploded their small universe in the second round.

SKT... was overthrown.

Li Luo frowned when he saw this scene.

He felt familiar.

In the S9 season before the rebirth, RNG was double beaten by SKT in the group stage. However, according to the situation at that time, even if they lost to FNC in the second round and the two sides tied with a 1-1 record, RNG still had an advantage. The game can be played.

But as luck would have it, SKT, which was also the most promising team in the group stage at the time, lost unexpectedly to FNC.

This also caused RNG, which was originally relatively safe, to be directly pushed to the edge of the cliff of life and death.

This is the charm of e-sports.

If given an opportunity, seize it.

Just like in Summoner's Rift, even a moment of relaxation leading to a mistake may ruin the entire game.

RNG did not seize the opportunity.

Today's FPX has even slimmer chances than RNG at the time.

The director deliberately cut the camera to show everyone at FPX waiting anxiously in the backstage lounge.

Needless to say, when everyone in FNC began to advance SKT's front tooth tower, the expressions of all members of the FPX team were desperate.

No chance.

The HKA recognized by the group as the weakest is basically an experience baby.

They gave FNC a gift. Even if FNC loses to FPX in the second round, they can still get a 4/2 record.

Even if FPX beat HKA and FNC, they would only be 3/3 at best.

It seems... there is no chance at all.

"This... is a bit embarrassing."

Guan Zeyuan in the commentary box was speechless.

Why didn't he explain Li Luo's game? His poisonous milk physique seemed to be back?

I just said that the SKT team is somewhat invincible, but they lost to the second seed in Europe?

Although most people know that poisonous milk is just a joke.

But after all, there are still quite a few people who will focus their firepower directly on Guan Zeyuan after this game is over, and launch a wave of three consecutive rounds of quality against Guan Zeyuan.

Guan Zeyuan is really lying on his back.

There is an air of despair permeating the LPL.

This desperation has been transformed by trolls into the motivation to troll FPX.

It's as if... FPX really doesn't have the slightest chance.

But what a coincidence, a miracle really happened.

The FNC team that won the SKT team was like a famous scene contributed by a certain classic team, and the champagne was opened at halftime.

They danced and celebrated in the backstage lounge, as if the place to qualify for the group stage had firmly fallen into their hands.

However, something unexpected happened.

In FNC's next game against HKA, BP obviously relaxed too much.

But HKA was not happy.

As a Hong Kong team, they don't want to end up with nothing.

so……

Under the expressions of countless people, the FNC team, which had great success in the previous game, was actually defeated by HKA!

FNC's rhythm in the first 20 minutes was extremely loose.

20 minutes later, when FNC realized that something was wrong, the situation was already a bit late.

HKA’s post-processing is still very rough.

But sometimes, luck is also part of strength.

In the battle for the Baron, HKA's jungler punished him early, but in the end the Baron was taken away by HKA's mid laner Ryze with a Q skill.

The FNC jungler's punishment was slightly slower by half a beat.

After the baron was in the bag, HKA had no intention of escaping at all, and they completely let go to fight this wave.

On the contrary, on the FNC team's side, the Baron didn't grab it, so they thought about retreating.

With this withdrawal, the formation was not maintained so well, and was directly destroyed by HKA.

HKA, got their first victory in the group stage!

Suspense returns again.

In the commentary box, Guan Zeyuan felt like he was riding a roller coaster.

This is so fucking exciting.

Domestic FPX fans also felt like they were surviving a disaster.

Chance!

still have a chance!

If FPX hasn’t grasped it this time.

Then they really should spray!

Adversity, after all, has a limit.

For any strong team, there is a certain possibility of bottoming out and rebounding.

If it hasn't rebounded yet, it just means it hasn't bottomed out yet.

Everyone in FPX didn't know how they spent more than thirty minutes in the last game.

It felt like half stepping into the Palace of Hell.

But the compatriots in Hong Kong dragged them back forcefully.

And this feeling, for Phoenix, seems to symbolize rebirth from the ashes.

"Brothers, it's time."

doinb didn't say anything grand.

The calm voice did not stir up the hearts of everyone in FPX.

Therefore, after experiencing strong winds and waves and extreme psychological brilliance, these young guys have become somewhat distracted.

The worst has been experienced.

Now that they are surviving the disaster, what reason do they have for not seizing the opportunity?

21 minutes.

Under the astonished eyes of the European and American audiences at the scene, it only took 21 minutes for FPX to flatten and crush HKA, which had been fighting fiercely with FNC for a long time.

The head-to-head ratio of 16 to 3 shows how bloody this game is!

FNC, a little panicked.

How do you feel... FPX seems to suddenly become more powerful? !

The game ended so quickly that FNC felt like they hadn't fully recovered yet.

The mentality of the two teams quietly changed.

When everyone in FPX came on stage again, everyone had a cold expression.

They crushed HKA, which was nothing to be happy about.

In the group stage of this World Championship, they played ugly enough.

FNC?

Sorry, you are not the end either.

Domestic netizens never expected it.

FPX, who had been beaten to pieces by them, was actually able to burst out with brilliant fireworks on the last day of the group stage that exceeded all their expectations.

A 28-minute game allowed them to complete their revenge against FNC!

After the two teams played all the games in the second round of the group stage, they both had a record of 3/3!

A playoff is coming.

Even though it's almost late at night, LPL fans can't sleep.

They have to wait.

Waiting for this crucial battle at two o'clock in the morning.

They chose to believe in FPX again.

No matter how harsh they were before, at this juncture, there are still quite a few fans who are willing to stand up and give some support to the FPX team!

A large cheering message began to float on the barrage.

At this moment, the opinions of the vast majority of LPL viewers were unified.

But for European and American audiences, today feels a bit like a joke from hell.

Their team defeated the strongest SKT.

However, they lost consecutively to Hong Kong and two teams from the LPL division.

The most ridiculous thing in the world!

ridiculous!

But the facts are before us.

They can only endure the discomfort and continue to support FNC.

As long as FNC can win, it will still be their good baby!

But it's a pity.

There is always one audience and fans who will feel sad.

This is the cruelty of e-sports.

When Wawa, who had fought hard with FPX for several games in the commentary box, was moved to tears, many domestic LPL viewers also resonated in their hearts.

FPX, the Jedi made a comeback.

Game time is 34 minutes.

They relied on doinb Ryze's smart driving to decisively rush the baron, and successfully captured the baron and counterattacked before everyone in FNC came around.

Hope withstood the pressure and dodged at the critical moment to avoid the key skills from FNC, and completed the harvest at the same time!

FPX really made a comeback!

"Let us congratulate the FPX team. They did not give up even when they were in a desperate situation. They... deserve this second spot!"

Miller and Guan Zeyuan also roared at the top of their lungs.

Inside the temporary base.

A smile appeared on Li Luo's expression.

Little Phoenix, little Phoenix.

Even if there are some differences between this Phoenix and the one in my impression, they... can still take a step forward after all.

So far, all three LPL teams have advanced to the quarterfinals!
