On October 14th, the second round of the group stage begins.
Group A is playing today, which is the EDG group.
After the first round, EDG's record of 2-1 made everyone relatively optimistic about their prospects.
No matter what, it is much better than Taobo.
Despite this, many people were extremely cautious before the game and did not dare to breastfeed at all.
There is no way, EDG is a team with a history in the World Championship, and not just once or twice.
Regardless of whether you are a professional player or a team, as long as you have a criminal record in the World Championship, you are considered unclean.
You must be careful in the future because you may continue to commit crimes.
Especially the starches, they really don’t dare to relax.
Not to mention 2-1 in the first round, some teams started 3-0 and were eliminated directly in the second round.
The second group stage of the World Championship is often the most dramatic.
Fortunately, EDG has stabilized, and there were no problems against C9 or Wanwan's CFO team.
It seems that C9 has nothing to say about this year's World Championship. It is not necessarily a good thing to come to the World Championship after getting the No. 1 seed in North America.
In previous years, when they were not the No. 1 seed to participate in the World Championship, they could actually become the light of North America.
Although EDG lost to T1 again, they won the remaining two games and could securely advance with a 4-2 record.
There were no disturbances in this group. It was pretty much what everyone thought before. The two teams from China and South Korea joined hands to qualify.
EDG finished second in the group, which everyone expected in advance. The fourth seed can reach the quarterfinals, which can actually be regarded as completing the task.
Why had EDG been criticized so many years before the World Championship?
Because I always entered the World Championship as the No. 1 seed in the past, and when I carried everyone's hopes, I always had to feed the audience. Of course, everyone couldn't bear it.
This year was fine. When no one was counting on them, they played without any problems.
If we were to stop at the top eight, no one would scold us for being such a stinky top eight.
The only thing that dissatisfied everyone today is that when EDG played T1, they still had no power to fight back.
This point on the road feels like the gap is too big.
He also planted a big tree for Brother Holy Spear and came out to fight the captain of the opposite top laner. I don't know what to understand.
Anyway, the state shown by Holy Gun Brother in this year's World Championship makes people feel that there may not be much left in his career.
The veterans of the LPL are constantly withering away.
…
The next day, V5 and the others were in Group C, which was quite easy for V5.
They won the first place in the group, but they did not have a complete victory record.
In the second round, DK still won one game, after all, Chen Ke didn't play.
But G2 stole a game from DK. Although G2 failed to qualify in the end, they could be considered to have contributed to V5 or the LPL.
This allows V5 to easily secure first place in the group without having to play extra rounds.
Again, there will always be a place for G2 in the LPL division.
On the third day, JD.com was in Group D. JD.com did not compete with Gen.G and finished second in the group.
They say Gen.G or Superpower World Championship are not good, but they still have no problem in the group stage.
The fans may be able to accept it.
Gen.G is the No. 1 seed after all, so it’s normal for everyone to feel that JD.com can’t beat them.
Now that all three teams have qualified, fans are very satisfied.
With just one victory left, LPL is about to complete the first time in history that all four teams will enter the quarterfinals.
However, the current situation of Taobo is what worries LPL fans the most.
Moreover, Riot Games’ schedule was relatively tight, and Taobo and his team were placed on the last day of the group stage.
Even Chen Ke felt itchy waiting.
October 17th, the last day of the group stage, fans are very concerned about today's game.
Before going to bed the night before, we all set our alarm clocks.
The earliest game was RGE against Vietnam.
There was no suspense in this game, and the RGE team won easily.
His record has reached 4-0, and he has won all four games so far. This record is very luxurious.
There is no way to say that qualifying has been confirmed, because if we lose the next two games, the record will become 4-2.
Theoretically speaking, if the Vietnamese team loses completely today, and if TaoBo wins completely, all three of their teams could theoretically have a record of 4-2 today.
It's hard to say whether we can qualify, but the probability is relatively high. In the worst case, there are extra games to play.
When there are extra games to play, your destiny is equivalent to being in your own hands.
But the Vietnamese team was a little uncomfortable. They lost all in the first round.
Today, we lost again at the beginning of the second round. After this round, we were directly eliminated.
A team with 0-3 still has hope of making a comeback, but a team with 0-4 has no chance at all.
In the second game, RGE played against DRX.
This game is very important, not only for the two teams, but also for Taobao.
If RGE can win this game, then the luxurious record of 5-0 will not only be a qualifying issue, but also equivalent to directly locking in the first place in the group.
Even if they lose in the last round, it will not affect their ranking.
Because Taobo lost two games in the first round, if DRX loses this time, it is equivalent to having two guaranteed wins.
A victory makes a huge difference to meat pigeons.
If you win, you will be directly ranked first in the group. If you lose, there is still suspense. It is not certain whether you can qualify from the group.
LPL fans don’t want to see this situation. If Rouge is determined to be first in the group, it will not be good news for Taobo.
This means that Taobao will have to compete with DRX for a spot in another group.
Fortunately, DRX made adjustments this time. General P's team performed well in this game, giving the pigeons their first loss in the group stage.
As soon as the two games were played, it was past 7 o'clock and close to 8 o'clock domestic time.
Many people can get up at this point, because the third game is about to be between Taobo and GAM.
Chen Ke and the others have also been watching the game in the hotel.
In this game, everyone is not very nervous. Everyone feels that there is no big problem in playing a Vietnamese team. The main thing is the subsequent games against RGE and DRX. They really cannot lose a game.
Taobo will win these three games today. If he loses one, he will be sentenced to death with a high probability.
"What is about to be played soon is our LPL division team's match against the GAM team."
"Currently we see that players from both sides have already appeared."
The commentary for today's game was pretty good, it was Colonel, Miller and Doll.
I just heard Wawa say: "The players who can see Taobo are quite relaxed now."
"It's good to have this kind of atmosphere. You must not play the game with too much nervousness."
"We all know that Taobo did not perform well in the first round of the group stage. The pressure was still quite high. If there is too much pressure all the time, it will actually affect the operation."
Miller followed the topic and continued the conversation: "Of course, the players on this team, except the top laner, the remaining four players have played in the World Championship, and there are two championship players among them."
"Everyone has rich experience in competitions. I believe their adjustment ability is still very strong in this regard. You don't need to worry too much."
Judging from the public opinion before the game, fans are indeed quite worried.
With their explanations, I'm sure I've been watching Hupu and Heqiu every day.
The college student was even more optimistic: "Actually, I think the schedule is okay. It's a good thing that we meet the GAM team in the first game."
"I just came up to practice my skills first. I haven't played a game in five or six days. We don't know how Taobo's current condition is adjusted."
"Through the first game, playing against an opponent who is not that strong can allow Taobo to find his condition."
"..."
Miller and Baby also kept nodding, and there was nothing wrong with what the colonel said.
We all know that we cannot lose in today's battle. It can be said that there is no room for loss.
But there are too many uncertainties in a BO1 game, especially if you haven’t played a game for several days, anything could happen suddenly.
If we play against one of these two teams, DRX or Pigeon, it will be completely over if we really lose.
Wawa even added: "And I found that the GAM team is not in good shape this year."
"In the past, teams in the Vietnam Division could actually steal one or two games in the group stage. This year, it's a bit difficult to see how it is.\
,""..."
Chen Ke watched the live broadcast with his teammates and saw that it was a pure stream without any explanation.
It's a good thing that I didn't hear what these official commentators said, otherwise Chen Ke would have said something awesome.
BP started quickly, and this game was on the red side.
When banning people, it can be seen that Taobo is not able to look down on his opponent after the game.
Lucian's point is usually a fixed ban position that the red side has to bear.
Luna is still strong now, and is still a T0-level combination in the bottom lane.
TaoBo didn't plan to ban from the beginning. To put it bluntly, they have figured it out until now in the group stage.
The Vietnam team's Luna combination didn't play very well.
A strong hero is one thing, but the most important thing is the cooperation and operation of the players.
Some teams let their Luna go before, but her performance was not good. Later, when the Vietnamese team played RGE, they even took the initiative to ban Lucian on the blue side.
Knowing that Luna on the other side is not good, Taobo naturally has no reason to take the initiative to ban.
Wouldn't it be nice to let the opponent spend a ban position on the blue side?
"The opponent Lucian didn't ban, so we, Aphelios, don't feel the need to ban him."
Coach Taobo couldn't help but frown when he wanted to ban someone on the third hand.
The opponent released Lucian. This was really unexpected. The coach continued to ask: "Are we going to ban Lucian in this move?"
"It doesn't matter, just let them die."
The elder brother said confidently: "Their Luna has no strength at all."
"Of course there is another possibility. If they don't choose Lucian, they will still choose Aphelios."
When my brother heard this, he laughed and couldn't help but ask: "Then if you get Luna for us, won't you just beat up their moon boy?"
"To be honest, I have played against Chen Ke's Aphelios so many times. I have already gained experience in playing, so I don't panic at all!"
"OK, then let's ban the sword demon~"
"..."
If Tao Bo's team voice at this time was heard by Chen Ke, he would probably slap himself twice.
I chose Yue Nan for training matches to improve my strength, so why did I give my brother confidence?
"Damn it, what lineup did GAM choose?"
“It feels like I’m letting myself go a little bit.”
"Anyway, we've already been eliminated. You can play whatever you want, it doesn't matter."
"To be honest, it looks a bit strange. If this lineup really had an advantage in the early stage, it would be hard to say."
There were also discussions within the V5 team at this time.
After the Vietnam team's lineup was selected, it really made people feel a little bit crazy.
Both the top and bottom lanes are pretty normal, but the main problem lies in the midfield.
Choosing Sett in the mid lane is weird enough, but the jungler also has a killer choice.
Death Song jungler, I haven’t seen it for a while, and this is the first time I have used it in this World Championship.
Chen Ke knew this thing was going to break when he saw it, and the hero Death Song was the key.
Even the commentator couldn't help but say at this time: "I think Taobo's side is more comfortable among the lineups chosen by both sides."
"I can only say that GAM's lineup is a bit weird. After the brothers knew they were eliminated, they started to engage in scientific research."
"Taobo has the rights to all three lanes, so Xiaotian's male gun will be very comfortable."
"When teammates don't have lane rights, it's not easy for Death Song to clear the jungle safely."
"..."
Taobao's lineup does look quite optimistic.
First of all, there is nothing to say about the bottom lane. Luna is released and the opponent does not choose, so Taobo will definitely win.
As long as Luna comes out, the bottom lane will definitely be able to win the line, not to mention the personal ability gap between the two bottom lanes.
After being targeted by the opponent, Rhubarb's Gnar took out the hero Crocodile.
If Crocodile fights Ornn, it may not be able to crush Ornn to death, but it definitely has lane power in the early stage. Crocodile is a lane dominant hero in the early stage.
In the middle, everyone feels that it might be better to take Sylas. To put it bluntly, Sylas is quite useful for stealing Lenata, Death Song, and Ornn's ultimate move from the opponent.
But Taobo still chose the fox. Maybe his left hand is more confident in this hero, and there seems to be nothing wrong with him.
In the early stage, the two sides fought back and forth.
After playing for 20 minutes, Taobo's economy took the lead.
But this situation is much worse than everyone thinks.
Normally when playing against the Vietnamese team, the game would be almost over in 20 minutes. As a result, at this point in time, Taobo was only ahead of the opponent by more than a thousand gold.
This economy can be ignored in 20 minutes.
Playing further back, the two teams were playing very anxiously.
For a moment, you couldn't tell whether it was a wonderful show or a show of novices.
Or maybe the two are not in conflict.
The game lasted for 30 minutes, but I couldn't tell which side would win.
Taobo Economy is still in the lead, probably by about 3,000.
In terms of heads, GAM needs more, but the operational capabilities of the Vietnamese team are still too poor.
They are better at fighting, but less good at running and running the economy.
But everyone can no longer be optimistic at this time. The further time goes by, the more suffocating the feeling becomes.
I don't know why, but it started to feel wrong.
Even the three commentators realized that the taste was wrong and began to change their tune.
At the beginning, it was still "no loss", "this wave is completely acceptable", and "we made a profit"!
Now it has become "something is wrong", "Tabo really can't delay it any longer", and "this economic lead is nothing".
Because everyone can see that Taobo is only an economic leader on the surface.
At this point in time, everyone has the financial resources they should have.
From the perspective of hero attributes, Ornn has improved the entire team at this point in time, but the hero Crocodile is really useless later.
The crocodile in Rhubarb's hands is worse than waste in the later stage.
There is also the hero Death Song. At this point in his development, if he finds a safe position and uses his ultimate move before a group fight, the damage will be too exaggerated.
You're like Nami, who can't stop you even with half of your HP with just one big move.
What's even worse is that the Vietnamese team has controlled the Earth Dragon Soul. With the blessing of the Earth Dragon Soul, Ornn can now handle it very well.
The hero Fox itself lacks damage. Just relying on the male gun and Lucian, it is not that fast to deal with Ornn, the earth dragon soul.
"Wow, what are you fighting? It seems like a wave!"
At 39 minutes, the two sides engaged in the last team battle of the game. After tormenting the audience for so long, they finally decided to give an explanation.
At this point in time, the gap in the lineup is too big, and it is not a matter of operation at all.
After Taobo was wiped out in a wave, many people fell into a trance.
The fans broke the defense and the commentators were extremely anxious. Even the V5 team members, King Ning and 369, were watching the game with their heads in their hands.
When the TaoBo base was pushed away by GAM, all members of TaoBo turned pale.
It can be seen from the game that Taobo is under greater pressure in the back, and Xiaotian's male gun operation is a bit out of shape.
The Vietnamese team is definitely not going to qualify. With the pressure of a hammer, it will only become more and more exciting as they play.
"Wow, we can only congratulate GAM. They won their first victory in the group stage of this world championship."
"This situation is already very dangerous for Taobo."
"I can only say that there is still a last glimmer of hope, but it depends on other people's faces."
"..."
After briefly breaking through the defense, the commentator still maintained his final dignity.
The college is still analyzing the possibility of Taobo qualifying.
It depends on the next game. If Vietnam can also defeat DRX, then Taobao will still have a chance.
It's just that everyone knows that this possibility is very low, so fans just started rushing.
"No, what on earth are you talking about? Sleepwalking?"
"Even Vietnam can lose. After Vietnam loses, we won't have a team to lose to you, and we won't even lose face!"
"Seriously, come back. The second seed can't beat the Vietnamese team. It's such a shame!"
"I was in a good mood while watching the game for the first three days, but on the fourth day I was directly nauseated, and all my good mood was ruined."
"Before the game, I opened champagne like crazy and was assigned to the easiest group, but ended up qualifying directly for the top 16. I really want to laugh."
"Don't be embarrassed, I'm in the top 9 in Taobo."
"What the hell, the Vietnamese prisoners were sent out to me!"
"arrive!"
"..."
The scoldings on the barrage were fierce, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning.
Everyone is probably still in shock now. They didn't expect to lose this game.
Only Prince Ning glanced at Chen Ke secretly at this time, looking quite guilty.
No one should remember what we said during dinner a few days ago, right?
Chen Ke really didn't notice Prince Ning's movements. It was a trivial matter for Prince Ning to eat something.
He was thinking about whether to hold a live broadcast later. Wenbo should be able to understand me, right?
