As the world-wide event with the highest attention, there are [-] places for the main competition of the EOH Global Finals.

Teams from more than a dozen countries and regions around the world fought for this rare spot.

China and South Korea are at the top of the competition area, each with three fixed quotas each year, which together account for nearly half of them.

Even so, the audience in the Chinese division still felt deeply regretful-these three competition places were divided up by SP, CQ and Scorpion. Lion, like last year, failed to enter the World Championship.

This kind of regret mainly comes from being unfavorable to Scorpion. Everyone felt that instead of letting Scorpion, who is in an unstable state, go abroad to fight, it is better to let Lion play.

——This scene is so familiar.

Lion also lost to Scorpion last year, and domestic public opinion is generally the same.

But old things repeat themselves, and the protagonist is no longer Lion or Scorpion, but the SP who stomps them all.

SP wears the laurels of the "King of China's Double Crown" to go to Paris, and he can't keep a low profile if he wants to.

——For three consecutive years, the EPL division has been very strong in the World Championship, and this year it has reached the most powerful.

EOH Game officially launched a survey for players all over the world, and voted for "Your most optimistic team in the S13 Global Finals". SP was elected as the world's first with a high number of votes accounting for more than 40.00%.

The second is F6, accounting for 19.00% of the votes.

Although F6 is very strong, it is not well-known in comparison. This result is not surprising.

From No.3 onwards, the number of votes is relatively scattered, and there is no particularly promising team.

There is no doubt that SP is the number one favorite this year.

Not only did they get the full support of the Chinese audience, but they were also regarded as the No. 6 formidable enemy by the major teams in other divisions, and they made targeted preparations—just like what SP did against F[-] in the last month.

Before Zuo Zhengyi and Ji Jue watched a lot of F6 game videos in private. After the closed special training started, the coaching staff took everyone to replay the game several times.

This month has been tiring, but Zuo Zhengyi's spirit is always high.

Counting this time, he has participated in the World Championship three times, and his mood was very different from the first time and the second time. This year, he "returned to the basics" and had a similar feeling to the first year.

It's hard to describe, but if I have to describe it, I have the courage and joy in my heart to firmly believe that I can level the world.

Zuo Zhengyi's self-confidence is well-founded, and now he has perfected his skills and mentality.

The overall strength of SP has also been perfected. During the team's special training, in addition to making tactics against foreign strong teams, the coaching staff worked hard to help Ding Haichao and Zhao Jing make up for their shortcomings and strive for further improvement.

Apart from Shangfu, Zuo Zhengyi, Ji Jue, and Feng Can are all mature players with experience in the World Championships. They have already touched the ceiling of their respective professions, so there is no need to worry about anything.

If there is any hidden worry for the perfect SP in this situation, it is Ji Jue's hand injury.

But during the ten-day vacation and one-month special training period, Ji Jue's hand was treated very well. The team doctor said that the possibility of an on-the-spot attack is very small, and he should be able to spend the July season well, so don't worry too much.

This made the whole team breathe a sigh of relief.

Zuo Zhengyi became even more excited when the stone hanging in his heart fell.

"Go to Paris" is the big headline when the domestic media publishes news. These four words accurately summarize Zuo Zhengyi's state. He is like a warrior who has put on his armor and sharpened his sword. He came to Paris in high spirits. After making great achievements, he was so thirsty that he couldn't even sleep well.

However, another reason for poor sleep is jet lag.

The organizer of the French tournament arranged a hotel for [-] teams from all over the world. Zuo Zhengyi suffered from insomnia on the first day of his stay.

He and Ji Jue slept in the same room, and the two of them lay on the bed together to study the grouping situation of the group match.

This year SP was divided into Group A, adhering to the principle of avoiding the same country, CQ and Scorpion were in Group B and CQ respectively.

Group A is recognized as the "group of death". In addition to SP, there are the third RE in the Korean League, the North American champion KTE, and the Australian champion UNT.

There is no weak team.

Only two of these four teams can qualify, and they will definitely be beaten badly.

Because SP has received the attention of the whole world before the start of the season, some people preached that "the hot ones will die", saying that SP is likely to be upset in the group stage and stop at the top [-].

This voice mainly comes from South Korea.

——The grievances and grievances between China and South Korea last year were raging, old enemies.

The second is from Scorpion fans.

To say that China's "three brothers" go out hand in hand is just a show, just a show.

If both Scorpion and CQ are eliminated, only SP will be left in the Chinese competition area, and Scorpion fans don't want SP to win the championship.

But their bad-mouthing is of no use.

The group match started on July 7st, and SP was ranked first in Group A to play against KTE.

This is an opening highlight.

But the process of the game surprised all the audience.

The strength of SP is recognized. KTE is the champion of the North American division, and it is not a cat or a dog.

The strong collision should have been a wonderful and exciting duel, but KTE was rubbed on the ground by SP, and they never got any advantage from the beginning to the end.

The opening match turned into an abuse game.

The audience was a bit at a loss. They didn't know whether it was SP's strength that exceeded everyone's imagination, or KTE, the North American champion, was too watery and didn't perform well.

That question was answered in the second round of Group A.

In the second round, SP played against Australian champion UNT.

This team lasted 5 minutes longer than KTE, but the scene was even uglier than KTE.

KTE just didn't have the strength to fight back, and was pressed and beaten by SP the whole time. However, UNT's mentality was completely broken. In the second half of the round, they frequently made low-level mistakes, which made the audience call their eyes hot.

The group stage was played in a BO1 group with double rounds. By the third round, audiences all over the world no longer expected which team in Group A could play back and forth with SP. They only hoped that RE would not be like the two seniors. Losing is too ugly and reduces the excitement of the game.

But unexpectedly, RE actually performed well.

The overall strength of the South Korean division is still higher than that of North America and Australia, even though RE can only rank third in ECS this year.

This game lasted more than 30 minutes. Under SP's fierce offensive, RE's performance was remarkable.

But the suppression of strength trumps everything else. SP's current style is becoming more and more simplified, without tricks or complicated routines.

After six games in the group stage, SP scored six 1-0 scores without losing a single point, and advanced strongly as the No. [-] in Group A.

——It’s blowing up the sky on the Internet.

In the few days before the knockout match ended after the group stage, SP's support rate soared day by day, and the betting odds reflected all this in real time.But Zuo Zhengyi didn't really feel anything when he saw it. His state was just like before the start of the match, he was excited.

Every time you win a game, the excitement will increase by one point.

If there is any dissatisfaction with him, it is dissatisfaction with the opponents in the group stage.They were weaker than he imagined, and he hadn't played with all his strength, and he hadn't played well enough.

The rest of SP basically feel the same way.

Maybe it's because the team is so strong that one plus one is greater than two, so there is no need for players to work hard.

However, among the three Chinese teams, only SP was successful.

Group B where CQ is located is dominated by F6, and CQ lost both of their two matches.Fortunately, the other two opponents are not particularly strong, so CQ has a chance to struggle to qualify.

Scorpion fought against DN8 in Group C, losing one match and winning the other.

The state of Scorpion basically depends on Akey's performance. He is not as sluggish as before, but he is still not stable enough, and his operations on the field are often scary.Scorpion fans are afraid that he will suddenly "fall ill" again, and kick Scorpion, who has finally improved, back to the bottom of the valley.

In the past two months, scorpion fans have scolded Akey a lot.

But even so, Scorpion fans are unwilling to pull off their face and say "regret" when Zuo Zhengyi is mentioned.

Zuo Zhengyi's evaluation is: a dead duck has a hard mouth.

But who cares?

Zuo Zhengyi is already aiming for the last crown of the Triple Crown, and Scorpion is still at the stage where he has to celebrate even getting the qualification to go abroad. He is nothing.

Zuo Zhengyi didn't bother to look at Scorpion for a second time. His eyes turned around the list of the freshly released top eight teams, and finally fell on the name of F6.

As expected by SP, F6 is the biggest obstacle on their way to the championship.

The same first place in the group, the same brilliant six-match victories, F6 played with ease, and it seems that they didn't try their best.

But it is different from the situation where SP beats everyone and crushes everyone. F6 has a feeling of four or two. Style: Modesty and prudence, neither rush nor rash.

This has won a lot of goodwill for F6 in front of the audience, and the approval rate has also increased significantly.

But the public opinion outside the arena was just an off-court affair. The players stayed in the hotel peacefully, training, preparing for the battle, and waiting for the knockout round.

On July 7th, the day before the start of the 9-to-[-] knockout round, Zuo Zhengyi received a new message——Jin Zhixiu asked him to meet and said that he wanted to chat with him alone.
